Ralph was born on 25 November 1896 in Broadwindsor, Dorset and was baptised there on 20 December. He was the son of Amos William Shutler and his wife Pauline née Wakeley. He was their only son, his siblings being four sisters: Hilda Mary (born 1891), Kathleen Ruth (1900), Margaret Pauline (1902) and Laura Leititia (1903). Kathleen died as a child in 1903; a second such loss is recorded on the family's 1911 census return which records that the marriage resulted in six children two of whom had died, but no record of a sixth child has been uncovered.
Amos was a butcher and had learnt the craft from his own father, Richard. In 1906 Amos moved his family to Newbury, where he took over a recently established butcher's business at 47 Cheap Street. Ralph completed his schooling in Newbury, first at the Wesleyan School and then, from September 1908, at Newbury Grammar School.
On 11 April 1911 he left school to work for his father, by the time the war began in 1914 he was working as his father's assistant - well on the way to becoming a fully qualified butcher. However, war changed everything and young Ralph was caught up in the patriotic fervour of the time.

His regimental number (2194) suggests that he enlisted into the Berkshire Yeomanry in late September 1914. When war broke out in August 1914 the Yeomanry were mobilised along with the rest of the Territorials and urged to sign the Imperial Service Obligation. This was necessary because the Territorial service obligations were limited to service in the UK and the need was for troops to serve overseas. The majority, but not all, Territorials signed, those that didn't were separated into what became known as 2nd Line units. Ralph would have been presented with the choice when he enlisted; he signed and, hence, served in the 1st Line unit, the 1st/1st Berkshire Yeomanry (usually referred to just as the 1st).
On mobilisation the Berkshire Yeomanry gathered at Churn Camp on the downs near Didcot; they were joined by the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars and the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry their fellows in the 2nd South Midland Mounted Brigade (the 1st Brigade gathered on Newbury Racecourse). In September the Oxfordshire Hussars left the brigade to go to Belgium and were replaced in the brigade by the Dorset Yeomanry.
The Berkshire Yeomanry had to wait until April 1915 before they went overseas after spending the winter in quarters in Norfolk during which time the 1st and 2nd South Midland Mounted Brigades were reorganised into the 2nd Mounted Division along with two more mounted brigades, horse artillery and other divisional troops (medical, veterinary, signals, supply & transport). On 21 April the Berkshire Yeomanry landed in Egypt.
Strictly speaking Ralph should not have been with them, as an eighteen-year-old he was too young to serve overseas – Army Regulations clearly stated that men should not see active service before they were nineteen. However, this was one regulation that was much overlooked in 1914/15 in the face of young lads' keen desire to go with their mates.
While in Egypt the Division was reorganised and the 2nd South Midland Brigade became the 2nd South Midland Regiment in the 1st Composite Mounted Brigade. In this formation the troops sailed for the island of Mudros, a staging post for transport to Gallipoli. They left their horses in Egypt, their first action would be as infantry.
On 17/18 August 1915 the Division landed at Suvla Bay on the Gallipoli peninsula and moved into reserve positions at Lala Baba on the night of 20 August. On 21 August the Berks Yeomanry took part in the last assault in the Suvla Bay area when, under heavy fire, they advanced across Chocolate Hill and attacked Turkish positions on Scimitar Hill (Yusufçuk Tepe). Although they were able to take a portion of enemy trench they were unable to hold it and were forced to retreat with heavy losses - 9 officers and 314 other ranks went into action, 4 officers and 150 other ranks returned.

It depicts the Uffington White Horse, carved into the Berkshire Downs in prehistoric times..
One of Ralph's comrades, Trooper Fred Potts from Reading won a Victoria Cross for his actions following the failure of the assault, after waiting out the night the wounded trooper and a more seriously wounded chum, decided that no-one was going to come and rescue them; they would have to make their own way back to their lines. It took them two further nights (movement in daylight would be suicidal) with Potts dragging his mate along on an entrenching tool. Both survived the war.
The dead and wounded lay out in the burning sun on the slopes of Scimitar Hill, at night it was possible to reach the closer bodies, rescue survivors and gather identity tags from the dead as proof of death. Unfortunately the men were only issued with one ID tag at this time, so many of the bodies were unidentifiable when the time came to clear up the battlefield after the war. This problem was recognised and a second tag (to remain with the body) was introduced in 1916.
No information has yet been received by the parents of Tpr Ralph Shutler as to his whereabouts. He was with the 1st Squadron Berks Yeomanry when they were engaged in the big fight on Chocolate Hill on August 21st, and since then has been missing. Any tiding will be gratefully welcomed by Mr and Mrs Shutler, 47, Cheap-street, Newbury.
Eventually he was presumed dead, killed on the day of the attack, in the meantime his family spent months hoping, though knowing his probable fate, that he would appear on a list of prisoners of war. Notices such as the appeal above were commonplace as people sought news, good or bad, about their missing relative. He was still 18 when he died, his desire to stick with his mates proved to be a fatal mistake.
His body was never identified; as a result his name is remembered on panel 19 of the Helles Memorial to the missing of the Gallipoli Campaign.
Always though the years roll on so quickly and remembering becomes a little more difficult, shall I treasure the friendships of my two trooper friends, - Ralph Shutler from Newbury (killed at the Dardanelles) and Teddy Gerber from Caversham, Reading, (Died from wounds in Palestine).
Ralph's name on Newbury War Memorial.
Nothing in this life would appear essential with the exception of a memory without it we should not be able to think our feelings, sufferings and retention of past happenings would be nil, so thanks be to God for a memory, especially when it concerns friendship.
Locally Ralph is remembered on tablet 4 of the Newbury Town War Memorial, the memorial to the fallen old boys of Newbury Grammar School in St Bartholomew's School and on the memorial tablet in the Methodist Church in Northbrook Street, Newbury (formerly the Wesleyan Methodist Church).


Ahead of Lok Sabha elections, the biopics on politicians are raining. One of them is a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi titled as 'PM Narendra Modi'. Recently, the makers released a trailer of the much-awaited biopic. Produced by Suresh Oberoi and Sandip Ssingh, the film will be released in 23 languages on 12th April, just some days before the Lok Sabha elections.
In the trailer, we can see actor Vivek Oberoi as PM Modi, is under several prosthetic, depicting a poised but determined Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We also got a glimpse into the various stages of PM Modi's life, starting from his early childhood and chronicling up to the present years in his life, when he is one of the greatest leaders in the world.
The trailer has the spine chilling scene where Narendra Modi shouts "Bharat Mata ki jai" with an Indian flag. The trailer also features Manoj Joshi, who plays the role of Amit Shah, the President of BJP and Prashant Narayan, who plays the role of a diabolic journalist.
#PMNarendraModiTrailer has done more harm to BJP then any other combined together!
Everything is wrong with #PMNarendraModiTrailer , starting from it's name. Why is movie named PM Narendra Modi and not Chowkidar Narendra Modi?

Published: 14:23 Thursday 08 August 2019
A family has paid tribute to their 'happiest little girl' who died suddenly days after her third birthday.
Alicia Carpenter-Southall, who lived in Sidley with her mum and brother, died on Thursday (August 1).
The cause of her death is currently unknown.
Her aunt Amie Carpenter said: "She would light up a room when she walked into it.
"She was everyone's favourite little girl. She had loads of friends at nursery.
"Her brother and cousin loved her so much. She always made them laugh and took care of them."
Alicia was born on July 27, 2016, at Conquest Hospital, and lived at her nan's house for most of her life with her mum, aunt, uncle, brother and cousin.
In May, she moved out to live with her mum Sophie Carpenter and her little brother Lucas.
Amie added: "We will remember her as kind, smart, beautiful, funny, loving and her hair was bright orange.
"We will remember her how she was running around being the happiest little girl she was. She always made people laugh and always knew how to cheer people up.
"She loved unicorns, she had so many different kinds of unicorn teddies and loads of clothes with unicorns on.
"Her uncle Alan used to call her 'Smells' and she would call her great uncle 'Belly'."
Alicia's mum said she enjoyed going to her dad Ryan's house every other weekend, with her brother, where she played with her dolls house and spent time with her nan and grandad.

In a close-knit family, Alicia saw her mum's boyfriend Ricky every day and also spent a lot of time with her uncle Zach – Amie's boyfriend.
A fundraising page has been set up to raise money for Alicia's headstone, which her family hopes will feature a unicorn.
Her family has asked those wanting to send flowers or gifts to donate to the fundraiser instead.
By Thursday morning (August 8), the page had raised £1,110.

Stackoverflow is a new programmer's question and answer site from Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky, and it's a very nice site: cleanly designed, with lots of dynamic page goodness.
The part that interests me about it, though, are the social dynamics. They've done a clever job with their reputation system: users on the site earn reputation points based on their participation, for example, based on how other community members vote up or down on answers. The points don't mean anything, you can't cash them in, but having them displayed next to your name everywhere on the site is a powerful motivator, especially for quantitative engineer-types.
In addition to reputation points, there's a large collection of badges you can earn, for example by asking a popular question, or doing a lot of re-tagging.
Put together, reputation and badges are powerful motivators. They turn the site into a game, where being useful members of the community gives you tangible (though virtual) points. Questions are answered within seconds of being asked, as eager developers try to pounce and be the first with the correct answer. Questions with widely-known answers frequently have a half-dozen correct responses within minutes.
I don't see much on the site that will engender a real community, though. In fact, the questions are strictly policed to be about programming, and any off-topic discussion is quickly curtailed. This might be a mistake: off-topic threads are an important part of building a larger sense of place. On the other hand, ensuring all discussion is "useful" will make the site much more appealing to new people who aren't won't get the in-jokes.
The primary goal of stackoverflow is to be a useful repository of answers to programming questions, and I think it will succeed at that. Time will tell if it goes in other directions and becomes something larger.
BTW, one other dynamic: since Jeff and Joel are Windows developers, their readership is very Windows-heavy, and as a result, the stackoverflow crowd is heavily tilted in that direction as well.
This reminded me of an excellent presentation I've been digesting for the past week or so, about applying design practices from the gaming world to make non-game apps more usable by making them more fun and goal-oriented.
The Australian broadband web site Whirlpool has had a similar idea for years now, where other users in the site vote on the usefulness of your input. This in turn provides you a rank of sorts, which among other things lets you enter into 'off topic' forums which aren't related to broadband & technology.
Thank you... that was a wonderful link!
Actually, considering how Windows-heavy Joel/Jeff are, the SO content isn't that Windows-centric at all. There's a lot of cross-platform Q/A, like Python, C, C++, PHP, and a lot of OS-agnostic web development Q/A as well.
Also: while the off-topic stuff is mostly closed down quickly (and personally, I like that), there are some topics that get popular enough that they aren't (best programming cartoon, best programming quote, etc). Joel/Jeff on the SO podcast have said that they're ok with that.

Study shows homes near wind turbines need airtight shut windows
© pixelrockerz
Welcome to your prison comrade
A new Taiwanese study investigated wind farm noise on people in homes made of sandstone, concrete, iron or bricks. And they measured the low frequency noise inside and out, and with windows open and closed. Given the health risks involved, they advised that governments ought to set limits on how close towers can be, and recommend airtight windows that nobody opens much.
Perhaps someone should have done more studies like this before the world installed 750GW of wind power?
The same people that panic about the effect of a hot weekend on your grandchildren a hundred years from now, don't seem so worried about whether the wind towers destroy your sleep or put you at risk of heart attacks today.
Thanks to MasterResource.
From the introduction of a new paper in Taiwan on the effects of wind turbine noise on people:
LFN [Low Frequency Noise] exposure has been found to cause a variety of health conditions. Exposure to LFN from wind turbines results in headaches, difficulty concentrating, irritability, fatigue, dizziness, tinnitus, aural pain sleep disturbances, and annoyance. Clinically, exposure to LFN from wind turbines may cause increased risk of epilepsy, cardiovascular effects, and coronary artery disease.
It was also found that exposure to noise (including LFN) may have an impact on heart rate variability (HRV).
HRV — The variability of our heartbeats — is a sign of how healthy we are, and how relaxed we feel. To brutally oversimplify — stressed people have a more robotic predictable pattern, but relaxed people's hearts beat with more flexibility. Slower heart rates usually have more variation. It's a vast topic. HRV predicts mortality after heart attacks. It's even been connected with concentration and decision making ability, depression and anxiety.

We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines. Instead, we should respect the right of the bodily integrity of individuals to decide for themselves.
Public health officials and the medical establishment with the help of the politicized media are misleading the public with assertions that the COVID-19 shots provide greater protection than natural immunity. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, for example, was deceptive in her October 2020 published LANCET statement that "there is no evidence for lasting protective immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following natural infection" and that "the consequence of waning immunity would present a risk to vulnerable populations for the indefinite future."
Immunology and virology 101 have taught us over a century that natural immunity confers protection against a respiratory virus's outer coat proteins, and not just one, e.g. the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. There is even strong evidence for the persistence of antibodies. Even the CDC recognizes natural immunity for chicken-pox and measles, mumps, and rubella, but not for COVID-19.
Memo to Joe Rogan: Check out the horse-urine women
Jon Rappoport
NoMoreFakeNews
First, a quick summary. You reported that, after you were diagnosed with COVID, you took a drug called Ivermectin, which is a horse-dewormer. CNN played that up and slammed you. Of course, the drug is also certified for use in humans. CNN downplayed or ignored that.
Here's something you may not know. There are hundreds of thousands of women who take horse urine. I'm not kidding.
I don't think CNN knows about this. If they did, they would surely call these women the horse-urine crowd and mercilessly attack and mock them, right?
I now quote from a PETA page. You may want to feature this information on your podcast:
Every year, doctors prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — also referred to as menopausal hormone therapy — to hundreds of thousands of women experiencing menopausal symptoms. One of the HRT drugs that has historically been among the most widely prescribed is made from animal waste. The drug is Premarin, an estrogen-therapy drug currently manufactured by Pfizer (formerly Wyeth Pharmaceuticals), which also produces Prempro, an estrogen/progestin combination. Both drugs contain horse urine, specifically pregnant mare's urine (PMU). Not only has this form of HRT proved to be dangerous to humans, horses raised for their urine are also kept confined and pregnant, and their foals often end up in the slaughterhouse.
According to an industry report, 19 ranches in remote areas of Canada house approximately 1,300 pregnant mares who produce urine for Premarin and Prempro. For most of their 11-month pregnancies, these horses are confined to stalls so small that they cannot turn around or take more than a single step in any direction. The animals must wear rubber urine-collection bags at all times, which causes chafing and lesions, and their drinking water is limited so that their urine will yield more concentrated estrogen. Once the foals are born, the horses are impregnated again, and this cycle continues for about 12 years. PMU ranchers are expected to follow the 'Recommended Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Horses in PMU Operations,' but beyond the call for an 'inspection program,' adherence to these guidelines is not tracked nor enforced.
Vaccine safety update from The Daily Sceptic

At the Daily Sceptic we report all the news about the vaccines whether positive or negative and give no one advice about whether they should or should not take them. Unlike with lockdowns, we are neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine; we see our job as reporting the facts, not advocating for or against a particular policy.
The vaccine technology is novel and the vaccines have not yet fully completed their trials, which is why they're in use under temporary and not full market authorisation. This has been done on account of the emergency situation and the trial data was largely encouraging on both efficacy and safety. For a summary of that data, see this preamble to the Government's page on the Yellow Card reporting system. (Dr Tess Lawrie in June wrote an open letter to Dr June Raine, head of the MHRA, arguing that: "The MHRA now has more than enough evidence on the Yellow Card system to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans," a claim that has been 'fact checked' here.)
Objective:Health - The Documented Negative Effects of Covid Vaccines
While the mainstream media is endlessly asserting that vaccination is safe and effective, there have been numberous documented side-effects from Covid shots that are not being pubicized. Indeed, anyone who has the audacity to speak publicly about these side-effects is maligned as a conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer.
Yet these effects appear in the literature; mainstream, peer reviewed journals. A number of doctors and scientists have spoken out, yet their voices are rarely heard by the population at large.
Join us on this episode of Objective:Health as we take an objective look at some of the clinical effects of Covid vaccinations.
Ivermectin vs. Merck's new antiviral, Molnupiravir
© BRENDAN MCDERMID
In the video above retired nurse lecturer John Campbell, Ph.D., reports on a comparative analysis of molnurpirivir and ivermectin published in the Austin Journal of Pharmacology and Therapeutics.1 The first is Merck's new antiviral drug and the second is the much vilified and maligned2,3 antiparasitic drug used in humans since 19874 and approved for human use in the U.S. in 1996.5,6
Campbell compares the efficacy, safety and cost using available data for ivermectin published in peer reviewed studies and the first interim data for molnupiravir published by Merck. Molnupiravir, also known as EIDD-2801/MK-44827 has data published as early as October 2019 that showed it was a clinical candidate for monotherapy in influenza viruses.8
And yet, Merck's investigation into the oral antiviral medication against SARS-CoV-2 was not logged with Clinical Trials until October 5, 2020.9 While Gilead raced to release remdesivir, posting their first clinical trial February 5, 2020,10 Merck appeared to be slow off the mark. Gilead suspended or terminated the early trials for remdesivir. The reasons given included:
Comment: Just last week the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation committed $120 million to "help get covid pills quickly to poor countries".
New York Times reports further:
The generic versions of molnupiravir will be evaluated by the World Health Organization and receive prequalification, the global body's stamp of approval, which would allow countries to fast track purchases.
Still, that process will take months, said Prashant Yadav, a supply chain expert with the Center for Global Development. There are only a few suppliers of the drug's components (called the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or A.P.I.), and its manufacturers will have to be persuaded to ramp up their at-risk production, as well.
The Gates Foundation's efforts could make a meaningful difference, he said. "The foundation investing in a volume guarantee creates a more guaranteed supply of high quality A.P.I. for whosoever wants to make the finished formulation for the drug," he said.
Here's what the Gates Foundation has to say:
Our goal is to help low- and middle-income countries gain an equal footing with high-income countries in this ongoing fight against the virus. Putting funding on the table early helps lay the groundwork for that. The standard rollout for global health products can be 12 months or more, but we hope to reduce that lag time significantly.
If they truly wanted to end this "pandemic" and help developing countries they would be looking into ivermectin, but they aren't.
The EMA has started a rolling review of molnupiravir.
Argentinian doctor shares his ivermectin experience
© Fox News
In this interview, we continue the COVID-19 discussion with a medical expert from Argentina, Dr. Hector Carvallo, whose focus since early 2020 has been the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Carvallo graduated from medical school in 1981 — the same year AIDS emerged as a global pandemic. In the first two years, AIDS killed 2 million people. Since 1981, it has claimed the lives of 35 million. While officially retired for a couple of years, the 2020 COVID pandemic brought him out of retirement.
"My first fire baptism was with AIDS," he says. "I have dedicated my professional time to teaching and assisting. I graduated as a professor in 1996, and worked as a professor for the School of Medicine in Buenos Aires, which is public. Later, I was an associate professor of internal medicine for two private schools of medicine until I retired a couple of years ago."
Comment: Listen to the full interview here. The same staggering results were seen in Uttar Pradesh where they deployed Rapid Response Teams that handed out medical kits containing ivermectin and doxycycline to those who had a positive rapid antigen test and were displaying symptoms. "Just five short weeks later, on June 14, 2021, new cases had dropped a staggering 97.1 percent, and the Uttar Pradesh program was hailed as a resounding success. "

Does an infection also affect the immunization of subsequent generations? Researchers at Radboud University (Netherlands) have studied this together with the Universities of Bonn, Saarland (Germany), Lausanne (Switzerland) and Athens (Greece). Mouse fathers who had previously overcome an infection with fungi or were stimulated with fungal compounds also passed on their improved protection to their offspring across several generations. The team showed at the same time an improved immune response being passed on to the descendants. The study has now been published in the renowned journal Nature Immunology.
Not just what is written in the DNA sequence is inherited. Scientific studies show that environmental influences are also passed on to the next generation. One example: children who grew in the womb during the hunger winter of 1944/45 show typical changes in their metabolism as an adaption to food scarcity during development and this is associated with a higher risk of diabetes and obesity.
Comment: Considering the coronavirus injection trials billions of people are currently being subjected to, this highlights the potentially serious consequences of messing around with the immune system and how any effects could impact the generations to come. Note also that this trial was based on a natural infection and a natural immune response rather than, for example, a highly experimental mRNA coronavirus injection:

CDC Director Dr Rochelle Walensky
Yesterday, in a press conference, the director of the CDC warned that they may have to "update" the definition of "fully vaccinated".
At the virtual presser accompanying the approval of "mix-and-match" booster jabs, Dr Rochelle Walensky told reporters that:
We will continue to look at this. We may need to update our definition of 'fully vaccinated' in the future,
The "updated" definition would potentially mean only people who have had the third "booster" shot would be considered "fully vaccinated", while people who have had the two original shots are no longer "fully vaccinated".
Whilst the warning might just be a ploy to scare people into getting their "booster" without forcing them to, it should be noted a revised definition of "fully vaccinated" has already been adopted in other countries.

People visit a pop-up vaccination site on Oct 19, 2021, in suburban Auckland, New Zealand.
New Zealand on Tuesday (Oct 19) recorded its highest number of daily COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic as a Delta-variant outbreak that dashed the nation's "Covid Zero" hopes showed no signs of easing.
Health authorities announced 94 new cases, exceeding the previous daily record of 89 set in April last year during the first wave of COVID-19 infections.
While case numbers remain low by most international standards, they have been steadily growing since the highly transmissible Delta variant was first found in New Zealand in mid-August.
Comment: More from Raidió Teilifís Éireann:
New Zealand has set a 90% vaccination target for scrapping lockdowns as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern unveiled a plan to open up despite the stubborn grip of the Delta variant.
Ms Ardern said her goal had shifted from eliminating Covid-19 to minimising its spread in the community by ramping up vaccinations.
She said the change meant New Zealanders would not be subject to stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns, provided they were fully inoculated.
"We cannot ask vaccinated people to stay home forever," she told reporters.
Around 86% of eligible New Zealanders have had their first vaccine dose and 68% are double jabbed.
"If you want summer, if you want to go to bars and restaurants, get vaccinated," she said.
"If you're vaccinated, you'll get to enjoy the things you love, secure in the knowledge that the people around you and the environment you're in are as safe as possible in the Covid world."
Meanwhile China has registered the most daily Covid cases since September, prompting soft lockdowns to contain virus spread. From RT:
A fresh outbreak of Covid has been recorded in China. One new infected person has been found in Beijing, while the most recent cases, in an Inner Mongolia city, led authorities to impose a lockdown on its 76,000 residents.
Beijing has become the latest city to report a fresh coronavirus case. On Tuesday, officials there said they had identified one new Covid-19 infection in the capital.
Meanwhile, as of Tuesday, authorities in Erenhot city in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia have registered a total of four Covid-19 cases since October 13; two cases were recorded on Monday. To contain the spread, citizens have been ordered not to leave their residential compounds unless it is absolutely necessary.
On Monday, five cases were reported in the north-western city of Xian in Shaanxi province. Those entering the city from outside the province must show proof of negative test results within 48 hours if they wish to visit tourist sites or stay at hotels. Some tourist amenities have been temporarily closed to allow officials to carry out disinfection.
Residents in north-western Yinchuan in the Ningxia region have been told not to leave town unless necessary, while public venues were closed in two areas deemed at highest risk. This came after one case was reported on October 18, according to National Health Commission data.
The southern city of Changsha in Hunan province also registered one case on Monday.

MIT's Self-Driving System to let Cars Navigate Roads Without a Map
A new form of self-driving system has been developed by MIT researchers that could soon make driving on unmapped roads a reality.

AI researchers from MIT have reportedly developed a self-driving system that could allow autonomous cars to navigate roads without the need for a map.
Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory designed a self-driving system that could allow driverless vehicles to navigate unpaved roads through basic GPS data and sensor technology.
Dubbed Maplite, the system will enable self-driving cars to drive on roads they've never been on before. The new system uses the combined technology of Google Maps GPS data for navigation along with LIDAR and IMU sensors for determining distances.
This self-driving system could potentially pave the way for better and safer self-driving experience on country roads.

"We were realizing how limited today's self-driving cars are in terms of where they can actually drive," Teddy Ort, a graduate student working on the MIT CSAIL, told Digital Trends.
"Companies like Google only test in big cities where they've labeled the exact positions of things like lanes and stop signs. These same cars wouldn't have success on roads that are unpaved, unlit, or unreliably marked. This is a problem. While urban areas already have multiple forms of transportation for non-drivers, this isn't true for rural areas. If you live outside the city and can't drive, you don't have many options."
Today's self-driving systems rely heavily on 3D maps which use sensors and vision algorithms for specific navigation purposes. Maplite, according to Ort, uses sensors instead for all parts of navigation.
The researchers tested the self-driving system on a Toyota Prius and equipped it with LIDAR, sensors, and the Maplite system. The self-driving car was able to navigate multiple rural roads in Devens, Massachusets by identifying the path 100 feet ahead.
Ort also explained that their system differs from other mapless methods that utilize machine learning to train the system on data of roads. Maplite works by attempting to develop models for different scenarios that autonomous vehicles could potentially encounter and inform it of its actions.
"At the end of the day, we want to be able to ask the car questions like 'how many roads are merging at this intersection?" Ort went on to say. "By using modeling techniques, if the system doesn't work or is involved in an accident, we can better understand why."
Do you believe that mapless navigation would make autonomous vehicles more reliable in the eyes of traffic and safety regulators?

Shadow And Bone – Season 1 Episode 8 (Finale/Ending) Recap & Review
23/04/2021 by Greg Wheeler
No Mourners
Episode 8 of Shadow and Bone begins inside the Fold. Darkness consumes the group as they prepare for the inevitable. They've passed five markers and thus far no Volcra have attacked. Down in the cabins, Jesper, Kaz and Inej also prepare for what's to come. Unfortunately Jesper doesn't have anywhere near enough bullets.
Meanwhile, Nina and Matthias make it into Arkesk. The pair try to work out whether there's somewhere they can go together where they're no longer witch and witchhunter. With the threat of being court-martialled and deserted, Matthias tries to push this to the back of his mind while they sit downstairs and eat waffles. Only, Matthias suddenly collapses on the table.
A Grisha shows from the distance, a man known as Fedyor. He immediately takes Matthias and holds him captive. This obviously causes any trust between him and Nina to shatter, despite her pleas that this was the only way to save him. He's en-route to Hellsgate too, where he'll be a prisoner. This just so happens to be in the town of Ketterdam.
Back inside the Fold, Alina uses her powers to blast a way forward. Only, it's a small tunnel, one that's nowhere near big enough to destroy the Fold. It turns out this was never the plan for Kirigan, as he wants to use the darkness as a weapon, with Alina used as a tool.
Down in the cabins, Kaz and the others find a stowaway – it's Mal! He too wants to kill the General and this makes him an ally in their fight. The boat suddenly stops though as Kirigan demonstrates his power. He uses the darkness and pushes the Fold out, consuming East Ravka. He tells the men and women onboard the skiff that their fight is over; they can redraw maps and change the world as they see fit.
Mal suddenly bursts out the crowd with a gun, intent on shooting Kirigan. Unfortunately he's stopped and forced down to the ground by the Grisha. Once there, Alina tries her best to control the light but it's too much.
Kaz and the others show too, managing to strike Kirigan but realizing it's too late and Kirigan is far too powerful. As the Volcra begin to attack, Alina reaches forward for Mal. Only, the mythical stag suddenly appears before her.
Now realizing what she needs to do, she grabs the knife on the ground and plunges it into Kirigan's hand. With the connection between them broken, Alina uses her powers to push the darkness back. Kirigan is confused, but as Alina explains, the stag chose her – not him.
Mal knocks the Black General off the skiff and attacks, hitting the man with a barrage of bullets. Volcra swoops down and grab Kirigan, knocking him back as it seems they're feasting on him.
Mal makes it back onboard the skiff to find Alina passed out. She eventually awakens, allowing them to move the skiff forward and leave the Fold. Together, the group reconvene out in the frosty fields.
Kaz realizes how valuable the Sun Summoner is and tries to work out whether to hand her in or not. Well, a valuable treasure is enough to persuade Kaz otherwise. Alina looks back toward the Fold, knowing this fight is far from over.
With Kirigan having turned against his own people, it leaves the fate of the world a big unknown at his point. "Saints become martyrs before they become heroes."
Kaz and the gang decide to get a boat to Ketterdam. The vessel they choose to take? The same one Matthias happens to be held captive on. As they talk about their plan, Nina happens to be listening from afar.
Mal and Alina decide to team up and stick together, determined to take the Fold down. Only, there's a problem. The Darkling is not dead. As we cut across to Kirigan, we see him leave the Fold and issue a command for the Volcra to follow.
Shadow and Bone bows out its first season with an enthralling finale, one that leaves the door wide open for additional seasons to come.
The season has essentially been about Alina gaining her powers while Kirigan has tried to control her. The reveals about him being the Dark Heretic and Baghra being his Mother are by far the most surprising twists in the series though.
This whole balance between light and dark has been nicely realized and the ending seems to hint that Kirigan is now more dangerous than ever.
Elsewhere, Nina and Matthias' story seems to have hit a bit of a snag, and in many ways has played second fiddle to everything else going on. While there has been some crossover with the other two storylines, ultimately this feels like a plot restrained for another season.
Kaz and his troupe have crossed paths with Alina several times this season and the story beats have always been quite similar (Plan a heist, execute the heist, lose Alina etc.) but the ending does allow for some good character development – and a ploy to break free from this.
With East Ravka in ruins (at least based on that ending it seems) and Kaz heading off on a different quest this time, the big conflict between Alina and Kirigan is far from over. The reveal that this man has seemingly raised a shadow army and is preparing to attack certainly looks like bad news for our characters.
In the meantime, the ending leaves the door wide open for more seasons to come. Let's just hope Netflix renew this one sooner rather than later!

March 1, 2005 | Movie News
My passion for Itsekiri movies
With close to two decades in a profession he loves so much, Alex Eyengho, a journalist turned producer/actor is now set to churn out movies that are rooted in Itsekiri culture. The artiste who hails from Warri in Delta State recently told Daily Sun that more than ever before, he is ready to invest his talent in the promotion of the artistic and cultural values of his people, noting that unlike movies produced in Yoruba and English languages, screen works in other languages are either unpopular or nonexistent.
As a result of this, certain cultural elements from ethnic groups outside Igbo and Yoruba are being unduly marginalised at least through the motion picture industry.
Eyengho who hinted that he met his wife while recording a movie also relayed his experiences and dreams about Itsekiri – based works to Daily Sun:
Dream about his culture
My greatest desire now is to initiate the Itsekiri Movie Industry. I have discovered that the people are rich in culture and tradition. They speak the same language without dialectal differences unlike the Igbos and the Yorubas. Besides, the Olu of Warri is a major rallying point for the people. So as an independent film producer, my dream is to jump start our own movie industry and project the language and culture of the people.
The aim is also to pass on good messages that can preach peace and understanding in the Niger Delta.
Although I have been involved in the production of many movies, the first one done in Ishekiri is my latest work titled Ogodobiri. The movie is already in circulation and after it, there is no going back again. My goal now is to produce two English movies and two Itsekiri movies each year. This is the new task that I've given myself and I'll follow it to the letter. I have discovered that it is not the language of a movie that can determine its success, but the ability of the producer to tell a good story and market it well.
For example, one of the best selling movies in the world today; Passion of Christ was produced in Hebrew, but it has a moving and refreshing story about the life and times of Jesus Christ and this makes it so appealing to the people.
Movie industry in Nigeria
This is a fast growing industry, from which both the government and the private sector can rake in revenue in a greater proportion than petroleum. Unfortunately, government is not helping matters while the cartels in the sector too create difficulties for independent producers. The industry is a major employer of labour so there is need for practitioners to have their own council as different from government agencies.
In the same way, government should make piracy a criminal offence. For now, our copyright laws are too lenient but when copyright infringement becomes a criminal offence, the culprits would have a second thought.
Generally, the major problem in the sector is marketing. There are two ways of solving this problem. The first is artistic while the second is commercial. The producer should turn out good works with great artistic inputs while there should also be a well structured marketing strategy by professional marketers. In Nigeria, where the population is well over 100million, more movies should be bought by at least 30million as against the current rate where we have less than 5million buying a major box office hit.
Another marketing strategy is that of accurate subtitling of movies.
Meeting with wife
I met my wife on the set of a movie; Nana of the Niger Delta in 1999. The story was written by Abayoma Ikomi but directed by my mentor, Joe Dundun. I served as assistant director as well as an actor. Then the woman who later became my wife; Martel Ejejigbe, also came for audition and later featured as one of the wives in the movie. When we met, the love grew between us and we eventually got married in 2002. We later floated Al Martel Ventures International- a film production outfit based in Lagos.
The movie later (2003) won the best biographical film award last year during the National Film Festival held in Lagos.
Other works/ background
I studied Mass Communication at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra State. Later, I had my youth service at Minna, Niger State as the assistant press secretary to the state governor. After this, I started a grassroots newspaper called Warri Mirror, which will soon turn four years. This is a community newspaper that circulates mainly in the Niger Delta on subscription.
Professionally, I joined the movie industry in 1997 and I had a minor role in Back to Africa, a movie produced by Even Ezra but written by Joe Dundun. The second movie I featured in was Judgement Day, also written by Joe Dundun. The third is Nana of Niger Delta which was produced in 1999.
The other movie; Beyond Obligation; which I featured in is currently showing at designated cinemas in Abuja, after which we intend to take it to some major cities with the assistance of Numetro-the South African based marketing outfit. After the Abuja show, the movie which aims at reviving the cinema culture in the country will also move to Port Harcourt, Warri and Lagos.

The machine comes in a custom built crate/pallet with dimensions 316cm x 190cm x 160cm. The machine weighs approximately 500 Kg and you will need to be able unload this from the lorry, so you will need to have access to a forklift for this, with prongs that are at least 2.0 m long to fully support the pallet as it is being unloaded. If you do not have a forklift, perhaps there is a local business who can help? Or else you can hire one to be there for the delivery. Make sure to check that the entrance of your premeses is large enough to accommodate the machine crate. Also consider if a forklift could also fit inside the entrance (you might consider using a couple of hand pallet trucks for final placement inside your premeses).
Can you supply these machines with a vacuum bed.
Yes we can offer a vacuum bed option consisting of two panels, a 1.5m x 1m panel and a 1m x 1m panel, giving you an effective bed area of 2.5m x 1m. Each panel will require its own side-channel blower unit.

What does the Touch track?
The Touch will track steps taken, active minutes, distance traveled, calories burned and sleep.
Sleep is tracked using the same hardware used to track movement of the Touch. Asleep, restless and awake periods are based on intensity of movement ranging from no movement, very little movement to recorded steps (corresponds directly with asleep, restless and awake measurements).

The chrysalis of Caterpillar
Caterpillar Engine Division has formed Caterpillar International Power Systems (CIPS), which will sell engines into the power generation market for applications up to 150 MWe. The company, established as a division of MaK Motoren, is based in Kiel, Germany. The intention is for CIPS to be able to act as a single source supplier, says John Gerretsen, managing director of CIPS.
Caterpillar intends to develop its role as a total solution supplier, providing equipment, financing, operation and maintenance support, and the ability to build, install and commission complete power stations.
The growth of a deregulated market means that there is greater demand for the single supplier approach. In Asia and South America, for example, there is a great demand for the single supplier solution. In particular, the ability to offer project finance is seen as a competitive advantage.
"The customer is looking for more", said John Gerretsen. "Demands can be very varied. The experience of being able to meet these varied demands will be important." CIPS has introduced two new engines to take advantage of the power generation market, the CM32 and the CM43. The CM32 is now in production in Kiel, with production of the CM43 due to begin in 1999.
The CM32 is a long-stroke, medium speed engine rated at 2.8 to 7.7 MWe. It is available in in-line (6-, 8- and 9-cylinders) and vee (12- and 16-cylinders) configurations. The in-line version of the CM32 is rated to deliver power in the range 2.8 to 4.3 MWe at 600rpm, with a stroke/bore ratio of 1.5. Vee versions of the CM32 engine delivers 5.5 to 7.7 MWe at an engine speed of 720rpm, with a stroke/bore ratio of 1.31.
The CM43 also comes in in-line and vee configurations. The in-line configuration has 6-, 7-, 8- or 9-cylinders, rated to deliver between 5.4 to 8.1 MWe at 500 rpm, while the vee configuration has 12-, 14-, 16 or 18-cylinders, which deliver between 10.8 to 16.2 MWe at 500 rpm. The engine has a stroke/bore ratio of 1.48. At 100 per cent output, fuel consumption is 175 g/kWh.
Gas engines CIPS is developing and extending both dual-fuel and 100 per cent gas-fired capability for its engines. The first gas engine pilot is due in late 1999, and will be tested in Kiel.
John Gerretsen said that the market for gas engines was for engines up to 15 MWe. Above that size, they are competing with gas turbines, which are more competitive at the higher sizes. However, demand for electricity will continue to rise throughout the world, and at a faster rate than the average increase of GNP. This will lead to a greater shift towards gas as the emphasis on cost effectiveness becomes ever more intense. This will result in an increased demand for gas engines.
In addition, there is increasing demand in some parts of the world for engines that are able to cope with interruptible gas supplies.
Another global trend is the increasing use of marginal fuels. This will be especially true in remote locations, such as Indonesia, where there is great pressure to make use of locally available fuel resources.
Another market trend is greater environmental awareness. This combination of using marginal fuels and still achieve lower emission levels is, according to John Gerretsen, an opportunity for manufacturers capable of meeting both. There are a number of ways in which these two objectives can be achieved. These include:
Good fuel economy. Caterpillar concentrated on developing the optimum shape of combustion chamber. For the CM32 range, at 100 per cent output, fuel consumption is 180 g/kWh.
Efficient combustion. Efficient combustion helps minimise exhaust emissions, even when burning heavy fuel.
Low oil consumption. A flame ring in the cylinder liner provides protection against bore polishing, ensuring consistently low lubricating oil consumption. At 100 per cent output, lub oil consumption is not greater than 0.7 g/kWh.
Projects underway Among the projects that have been completed or are underway that involve CIPS, are:
A 38 MWe base load power plant for CENSA/AMFELS in Nicaragua.
Supplying 15.6 MWe of continuous power to the Durrat Al-Arus tourist city on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. The plant uses readily available distillate fuel.
Completion of a 73 MWe base power plant in Cebu City, Philippines. This facility is supported by ten 16-cylinder CM32 engines.
Overcapacity The diesel market is marked by overcapacity, leading to a highly competitive situation. This has resulted in several mergers and acquisitions. John Gerretsen believes this trend will continue; there is still overcapacity, and there will therefore be more consolidations.
Targets John Gerretsen says that the key issue as far as CIPS is concerned is whether or not it is able to grow its market share for medium speed power generation systems. "We will have a clear idea of how well we are proceeding in one year's time."
