The Bowes Museum
Frederick Dalgarno
By June Parkin
Secretary, Barnard Castle Bowling Club, and The Bowes Museum volunteer
In April 1918 conscription was extended to men up to age 51, so great was the toll that the war had taken on the armed forces. There was also pressure on those who had been exempt from military service for reasons of conscientious objection, medical reasons or protected employment. One of those exempted was Frederick Charles Dalgarno, the Park Superintendent at The Bowes Museum. Mr Dalgarno, a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society, joined the Museum staff in 1909 and was responsible for laying out the grounds, including the excellent bowling green. He was a founder member of Barnard Castle Bowling Club in 1910.

The 'Mercury' of October 24th 1917 reported that a tribunal had heard Dalgarno's appeal for continued exemption from military service. These tribunals were made up of local dignitaries, tending to support the appeal, and a military representative who, anxious to augment the supply of recruits, generally pressed for rejection.
In this case, the evidence produced was that Mr. Dalgarno, then aged 41, lectured to local groups to increase the production of fruit and vegetables. Also, produce from the Museum's gardens had been distributed to 130 poor people. Mr Waine stated that Mr Dalgarno "was of more use in the national interest in his present situation than he would be in the army". Temporary exemption was granted until the following May, with the military representative asserting that he would appeal against the decision. The 'Mercury' of 21st November reported the result from the Durham County Appeal Tribunal. The military appeal was dismissed and Frederick Dalgarno was appointed horticultural representative under the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries for the Rural District of Startforth, his work being to organise cottage gardening and food production.
Mr Dalgarno continued to serve the community until his retirement in September 1929 after 23½ years as Park Superintendent. He was also a band leader and performed in local concerts as well as at the bandstand in the Museum grounds. The appreciation in the 'Mercury' said that the bowling green he laid out was "now considered one of the finest in the country." The same can be said today and Frederick Dalgarno would be proud of the talented team of members who maintain such a high standard of care.
The bowling season opens on Saturday April 7th carrying on a long-standing town tradition.

An amazing coincidence
By Judith Phillips
Well, the snow and generally dreadful weather forecast on Saturday 17 March didn't deter seventeen people coming to hear Ian McArdle talk about Edith Cavell, 'a quiet heroine' in his words. It was a fascinating afternoon and the Question and Answer session afterwards threw up an amazing coincidence.
Edith Cavell was an unlikely and certainly reluctant 'heroine'. Ian showed how all her life her sense of duty, coupled with a strong religious faith, drove her to strive for 'the best' and her attitude sometimes brought her into conflict with authority. The daughter of a Church of England vicar, she grew up in Swardestone near Norwich. She was taught at home by her father until she was sixteen when she was sent to schools in Kensington and Clevedon as a pupil teacher. She was a governess in several families in Britain until 1890 when she went to Brussels as governess to the family of Antoine Depage, a well-known surgeon.
In 1895 she returned to nurse her ailing father and this experience, coupled with a previous time at a German hospital while on holiday, convinced her that she had a vocation as a nurse. She gained experience at the Tooting Fever Hospital and then trained at The London Hospital (now part of Barts) whose matron had known Florence Nightingale. Edith gained her nursing qualifications and worked in hospitals and privately but wasn't being promoted to the higher posts she wanted. Her reference from The London Hospital makes it clear that she didn't hesitate to argue with authority, which probably didn't make her popular. After a short break to recover from exhaustion she spent some time nursing in Manchester where she experienced working with victims of industrial accidents.
In 1907 Antoine Depage invited her to run and develop the first nursing school in Belgium (now the Institut Cavell) which he had just established in Brussels. Starting with just four probationer nurses, Edith introduced a syllabus that covered medical and ethical issues. The school's reputation grew, as did numbers, and in 1910 Edith was also in charge of the new hospital at St. Gilles in Brussels. An inventory of her belongings in 1912 showed a large number of books and not much else.
She spent the summer of 1914 in England with her mother and returned to Brussels the day before the declaration of war and the German invasion of Belgium. Within a few weeks German soldiers were in Brussels, cutting off any idea of leaving for England. The speed of the German invasion had left isolated pockets of British and French troops behind enemy lines. In October 1914 Antoine Depage's wife, herself a nurse, suggested Edith's clinic as a place for treating injured Allied soldiers who had found their way to Brussels. Once started, Edith's involvement increased and she helped hundreds of men escape to neutral Holland through the Belgian resistance movement.
Ian shared his view that the German authorities probably suspected, or knew, what was going on but held back until they had identified as many people as possible. Edith herself showed a certain naïvété in her letters to her mother – letters that were almost certainly opened before being despatched.
She was arrested in August 1915 and sent to the St. Gilles prison where she was kept mainly in solitary confinement. She was interrogated three times and put on trial in October 1915 with about thirty other people – guides, chemists (who provided false documentation), people who provided shelter. She had no contact with her defence lawyer and had already signed a statement admitting she had helped men get to Holland (and subsequently to England). The German prosecutor questioned her for about ten minutes in all. Incidentally, he lived until 1960. The court minutes were in German although the questioning was in French and, with only one interpreter in court, there may have been misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Ian pointed out that frontière (border in French) could have been misunderstood as 'the front'.
The judges gave their verdicts on a Saturday: Edith and Philippe Baucq (who was involved in resistance newspaper distribution and networks) and three others were sentenced to death, although only Edith and Baucq were executed; the others were generally condemned to hard labour with a few acquittals. The defence lawyers had not expected any activity over the weekend and were unprepared for any appeal. Despite representations by the American legation, the sentence was carried out in the early morning of Tuesday 12 October 1915 at the National Shooting Gallery near Brussels. Edith spoke with both the Anglican minister in Brussels and a German Lutheran pastor before her death. She asked that her mother be informed of her death and she left a letter to be read to the nurses in the Institut, where the letter is read out annually on the anniversary of her death. She was buried at the Shooting Gallery, along with others executed there.
Edith's execution was seized by the Allies and used as propaganda. Ian showed some examples which clearly distorted her appearance and how she died. After the war her body was exhumed and brought back to England in May 1919. Crowds lined the train route taken by her body from Dover to London where the cortege was escorted by nurses and the military service to Westminster Abbey for a memorial service before the coffin was taken for burial at Life's Green beside Norwich Cathedral. Ian ended with images of the memorials to Edith in London and Norwich, and he pointed out that streets, schools, hospitals, a bridge and a carpark are named after her as well as the Cavell Homes for Nurses.
A lively question and answer session followed covering reasons why she is not so remembered nowadays, the source of her famous words 'Patriotism is not enough' and a railway carriage connection with Captain Fryatt (also executed by the Germans) and the Unknown Warrior. But it was a question from the youngest member of the audience that gave us that amazing coincidence: 'When was the memorial in London put up?' Ian confessed he didn't know but a quick search on Wikipedia said it was 17 March 1920 – exactly 98 years ago. An amzing conclusion to a fascinating afternoon.
Open Meeting 2018
I hope you find the e-newsletter keeps you up-to-date with what's going on with the First World War project. But it's sometimes a good idea to meet in person. Each year during the project, we've had an Open Meeting where anyone can come along and find out what we've achieved and so far and what we're planning for the next year. So I invite you to an Open Meeting on Wednesday 25th April at 2.30 until about 4.00.
We'll meet in the Jubilee Room and there'll be coffee/tea and biscuits. Please let me know if you intend coming – that's to help with the catering arrangements – but don't worry if you can only decide at the last minute.
This year is special. It includes the centenary of the Armistice, and this year Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday fall on the same date – Sunday 11 November. We have an exhibition planned to highlight the project running from late autumn to early spring. It is also the last financial year for the project and there are still things we'd like to do.
Why not come along and see what we've achieved and hear about our plans for this centenary year? And we'd love to hear if you have an idea you'd like to suggest for any of our events and activities. Even if you can't come to the Open Meeting, we'd love to hear your ideas and comments at Judith.phillips@thebowesmuseum.org.uk
WW1 Book Group report February 2018
By Jane Wilson
Our February Book Group meeting started with an update on progress with reading a previously mentioned book choice, 'The Sleepwalkers' by Christopher Clark. The author writes about the diplomatic relations among the different European countries, the ebb and flow between various European powers, and the desire for expansion by various empires.
The book highlights the male-dominated hierarchies at the head of these European countries, emphasising the definition of what it was to be a man in Edwardian times.
The same group member recommended a book they had read a few years earlier, the autobiography of Edmund Blunden, titled 'Undertones of War'. Detailing his time as an infantry subaltern in France and Flanders during WW1, the book also includes examples of his poetry as well as his wartime experiences.
Michael Morpurgo has been a favourite author of the Book Group and our next recommendation was his novel, 'A Medal for Leroy'. First published in 2013, Morpurgo was inspired to write this novel after learning more about the life and WW1 service of Walter Tull, the first black army officer to lead British troops.
His children's novel starts in Belgium in 2012 and follows generations of the same family from WW1 to the present day, uncovering family secrets and focusing on the impact of war on their lives. Covering topics ranging through illegitimacy, racial prejudice, love and loss, the book also follows the animal theme common in Morpurgo's novels, several generations of Jasper, the Jack Russell Terrier.
A member of our group brought along the August 2017 edition of the BBC 'History' magazine, pointing out an interesting article about British soldiers held as Prisoners of War in camps in Germany. The article was illustrated with photographs, and included details of starvation, and punishing regimes in the Dulman Camp in Germany. The magazine covers many periods in history, but during the 100-year commemoration of WW1, has many interesting pieces connected to combat in the Great War.
We were suggested works of fiction by Ernest Victor Thompson, an English author (1931 – 2012) who had served in the British Royal Navy and the British Police Force. Thompson has a prolific output of historical novels, including some that have a WW1 connection, such as 'Brothers in War' and 'Tomorrow is Forever'. The novels have romantic tones, are underset by WW1 links, and have a large proportion of factual information within their settings.
'When This Bloody War Is Over; Soldiers Songs of the First World War by Max Arthur' highlight songs sung in trenches, dugouts, and on the various battlefields of WW1. The book explores the lyrics, the music, how different songs were adapted by various countries, and how some songs were well known and others less so. Many old and nostalgic favourite tunes are included as well as some lesser known songs, backing up the courage and endurance of WW1 combatants.
Susan Grayzel, a Professor of History at the University of Mississippi, has written 'Women and the First World War', a comprehensive look at the contributions and experiences of women during WW1 from a variety of countries, ranging from Austria, Canada, Japan and New Zealand as well as the more usually quoted country examples. The book covers topics such as propaganda, women's war work, women serving in war, morality, pacifism and revolution as well as exploring the consequences for women of the post-war period. While not a text book, Grayzel's writing gives a multitude of facts, figures and information that demonstrate women's part in the war the world over.
The next meeting of our World War One reading group will be held on Tuesday 20 March at 2.30pm in The Bowes Museum Café lounge. Everyone is welcome, whether you bring a book or just want to enjoy the discussion.

Women Entrepreneurs Support Families, Economy
By: Jessica McRorie | July 5, 2001
NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)–The first report of its kind on women in business here indicates that women are vital to the economy of the world's business capital and that more than half of the women business owners are the top breadwinners in their households.
The survey's results mirror similar finding of women business owners in Maine, which also indicated that women entrepreneurs there were contributing to more than half of the household income.
In the New York survey, 80 percent of the businesses that responded were started in the past 10 years and 40 percent in the past five years. More than one-third of the respondents' businesses grossed more than $500,000 in 1999, according to a report on the survey's results released in June.
"Women contribute extensively to the economy of New York City," especially in terms of revenue and the tax base and in terms of employing New York residents, said Marsha Firestone, founder and president of Women Presidents' Organization, a nonprofit membership organization for select women presidents. It is an invitation-only group whose businesses have grossed at least $2 million in annual sales or $1 million a year for a service-based business.
The report also said that as the women business owners "should serve as an important resource and as leaders in business and the community."
First Such Survey of Big Apple Women Business Owners
It is the first such survey of women business owners in New York City, said Firestone, also co-chair of the New York Women's Agenda, which jointly conducted the survey with the office of New York City Comptroller Alan Hevesi. The group plans to conduct the survey annually, however, it may take as long as two years to design and implement such a major research project.
The New York survey analyzed 662 responses to more than 36,000 questionnaires distributed to self-identified women-owned businesses by more than 40 organizations. New York City has about 167,500 women-owned businesses.
Most of the firms included in the initial survey were based in Manhattan. Current plans call for the inclusion of women business owners in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island, as well as businesses with a wider range of revenue.
The survey is "enormously important" but it left out a lot of small home-based owners and women of color, said Marie S. Nahikian, executive director of Queens County Economic Development Cooperation. Women from outside the U.S. own many of the small businesses she works with, she said.
Women-Owned Businesses Growing in Record Numbers Nationwide
The survey's results are similar to national statistics that indicate women-owned businesses are growing in record numbers across the country. Women-owned businesses grew 16 percent as compared to only 6 percent for all firms, excluding publicly held corporations, between 1992 and 1997, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Women-owned businesses comprise about 26 percent of all industries or 5.4 million businesses out of a total 22 million. The census defined women-owned businesses as privately held firms in which women owned at least 51 percent.
Coastal Enterprises Inc. recently conducted a similar survey of women-owned businesses in Maine, and it also found that women were contributing more than half of their household incomes.
Ellen Golden, senior program officer of Coastal Enterprises, a private, nonprofit community development corporation in Maine, said that the importance of women business owners needs to be documented through surveys such as these.
"There are still lots of instances where women business owners are not taken seriously," Golden said. "Without statistics we are invisible."
The Maine survey, not yet released, was sponsored by Fleet Bank. It used a database of more than 10,000 businesses to randomly select 301 businesses and then telephone interviews were conducted.
A summary of the New York findings:
The majority of women business owners, 83 percent, have an advanced degree and 91 percent started their business themselves.
The vast majority, 87 percent, of the respondents said their two primary motivations were the desire to be their own boss and personal fulfillment.
The 61 percent of the businesses owned by women are in the service industry, which is consistent with census department's data for the city and slightly higher than the national figure, 55 percent for women owned businesses.
About 7 percent have international locations in addition to their primary base, and about a third conduct business through a website.
The majority of owners, 61 percent, used personal savings as a source of financing to acquire ownership of their business.
Women in the survey said the top three choices for making their business more successful were lower business taxes, 23 percent; additional financing, 22 percent; and affordable health insurance, 20 percent.
Women business owners do not have much influence in politics at this time, Firestone said, adding that she hoped mayoral candidates would consider the survey with a view toward helping women get more contracts, credit and health insurance, among other issues.
Women-owned businesses received only 3.56 percent of government contracts in New York state in 1999, Firestone said. Similar city data is not available because the city does not separate data on men and women contractors.

Heartbreaking messages from Danielle's students have poured in since her death.
"Miss, thank you very much for what you have done for us. You always made the funniest faces and helped us play with our clay."
This is one of many messages by young learners from Wierdapark Primary School after a student teacher, Danielle van As, died in a car crash on Tuesday.
Danielle was on her way to school when she lost control of her car on the N14 just before the Snake Valley exit. She was talking to her boyfriend Francois Herman on her hands-free phone when he heard a blow, Maroela Media reports.
She was a student teacher at the school for two years.
"A student teacher does what teachers do while studying," said school spokesperson, who wants to remain anonymous.
Last year Danielle taught the grade ones, moving to the grade two class this year.
Another letter reads: "Teacher Danielle, we miss you a lot, you mean a lot to us, your smile is the most beautiful. I like it as a teacher helping us with Afrikaans and Mathematics. You are the cutest teacher. "
The spokesman described Danielle as a small, pretty girl, who was always friendly.

A lot of people think of frugality when they think of voluntary simplicity. Although frugality can be an important step, it doesn't mean living poor or in poverty. It also doesn't mean living with extreme deprivation. Frugality can be developed with both money and time. The goal is to have more of both and to be able to spend them where you want.
It's easy to go thru life thinking "if only I made more money then I could….". What would you do? Can you find a way to do that now? The reality is, when most of us receive an increase in wages we also increase our spending. You have to figure out how to live within your means right now. The next challenge is to see if you can live below your means slightly. This means you'll have much more time to spend as you choose as well as extra money to sock away.
• Limit unnecessary purchases. Think about a purchase before you make it. Do you need it? Do you want it? If you need it, is there anything you already own that could be used instead? If you want it, do you love it? Will you still treasure it 5 years later? Are you shopping out of boredom or out of habit?
• Find less expensive ways to get the same things, i.e. buying in bulk, making from scratch, etc.
• Be deliberate about how you spend your time. Don't participate in a full day of events of things that are meaningless to you or you're doing because you feel you have to. Start doing things you want to do, that bring you joy and make you happy.
• Spend time (and money) learning skills that will help you to become more self-reliant. Next time something breaks or a pipe is leaking, you could fix it yourself.
• How do you grocery shop and how do you eat? Are you eating certain foods because you think you should? Could you eat things you enjoy in moderation? Could you grow many of the vegetables and fruit you shop for? Spend where it makes sense and save where it makes sense for you.
• Find a balance between work and personal time. This is important for emotional and physical well-being.
One of the best places to start is to track your spending. Track everything. It doesn't have to be an elaborate system, but if you spend $5.00 on a magazine and $3.00 on a coffee this needs to be written down along with your bills, groceries, etc. This will help you understand what discretionary money you have.
I'm a big fan of the envelope system at least initially. Each pay you put money into envelopes labeled for "groceries", "gas", etc. Keep money in your checking account only for those items you are writing a check for or have automatically deducted. The remaining money either goes in an envelope titled "savings" or in a separate savings account. If you've never tracked your spending before you will probably be shocked how much you spend on little things here or there.
I found that our spending happened on Friday nights. We got in the habit of going out to dinner and running "errands" on Friday nights. The amount of money we could spend in one evening was amazing. Dinner ($50.00), bookstore ($35.00), Home Improvement stores ($30 – 130.00), Target ($45.00), etc. So although we weren't spending much throughout the week we were spending most of our extra income in one evening. Debit cards make it very easy to mindlessly spend and not even realize the amount.
I switched to the envelope method to get it under control and show him how much we were spending because he didn't realize it either. Then, I opened an account as a dedicated "debit" account and I continue to keep a very low balance in it for discretionary spending and gas for the vehicles. I deposit the same amount every week into the account.
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Pay cash. Don't use credit cards, they aren't worth it. Pay cash for everything you can, and if you take out a car loan or a mortgage, make sure you are budgeted to make extra payments. Just because you can get a loan for a certain amount doesn't mean it's the right decision to make. I'm sure there are plenty of people who have lost their homes during the hard economic times who wish they had spent below their means.
I'm not sure where I read this, but I liked it and wrote it down: You want to have more time, stop trading it for dollars. You want to have more space, stop trading it for clutter. You want to have more dollars, stop trading them for things that don't matter. As I've written in previous articles, you have to determine for yourself what your frugality looks like. Determine your own priorities and set your own goals.
When you do decide to start purging or de-cluttering, take it one room at a time. Decide with each item if you need it, want it, or are hanging onto it for other reasons. Don't hang onto things that you may "someday" need. If you're having trouble parting with those items including clothing, box them up (seal the box) and put them in the garage. Label each box with the date 6 months from the day you box them. If, on the six month date you haven't gone into any of the boxes to look for items, take the boxes to a local charity. Don't open them back up, just take them. You don't need them.
Voluntary simplicity is about deliberately choosing the way you want to live, not just living day to day. It's being excited about every day and savoring each moment.
Very nice and well put. The envelope method is great and in times like these, we all need to cut out and save, spend wisely and live simply. Great post!

Yes. According to Sam Mulafulafu (Director, Caritas Zambia) :
The experience of an alliance that presents one presidential candidate but competes among themselves at Parliamentary and local government levels has been confusing to the electorate even in situations where constituencies and wards are shared among the cooperating political parties. With the low literacy levels among our voters, it sounds funny to the electorate to be told by a campaigning parliamentary or council candidate that in the parliamentary or local government vote (which ever the case may be), vote for me but for the president, vote for candidate so and so from another party. It really does not make sense to an average voter. In fact, some candidates won't even make an effort to campaign for the chosen presidential candidate if that candidate is not from their party. This must be a learning point for the UPND/PF pact; to convince the electorate that they are a two in one party may be a daunting task.
Mr Mulafulafu's underlying sequential logic is as follows:
i) To understand and be able to vote for a coalition government you need to be literate.
ii) Zambians have low literacy levels.
iii) Therefore UPND-PF pact is facing a very challenging or near impossible task .
If (i) or (ii) is wrong then (iii) is bound to be wrong.
On proposition (i) : I find it difficult to accept that literacy (the ability to read or write) is related to people's ability to understand a simple concept of two clubs headed by two separate leaders that come together to achieve a shared vision. They will have different local represents from two clubs but only one leader. Is Mr Mulafulafu really saying that such requires some form of literacy? Coalition governments existed in some western democracies as early as the 19th Century. Are we really saying our people are so ignorant that what an average westerner in 19th Century was able to contemplate they can't? So proposition (i) fails.
But so does proposition (ii). The question I have for Mr Mulafulafu is that when he says "with the low literacy levels among our voters", who is he comparing Zambia with? Just how high do we need the literacy levels to be for people to understand the idea of a coalition? The truth is Zambia has high literacy rates and primary school enrollment rates above the average for Sub-Saharan Africa and Low Income Countries (LICs) as the table below demonstrates.
It seems to me that the problem is not so much the ability of our voters to understand but the failure of these political parties to communicate their vision and ideals in a simple and organised way. If Civil Society Groups are able to reach our remote parts with complex messages about HIV, sanitation and so forth, why can't political parties achieve the same feat?
THEMES : education, politics

Interestingly, Zimbabwe, with it's pro-active and universal educational system, has achieved a 92% literacy rate. Of course, the MDC is trying to make access to education 'fee based', and reduce the number of graduates.
Zim has highest literacy rate in Africa: UN
By: TH-TZG
Posted: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 3:18 am
ZIMBABWE has the highest literacy rate in Africa, according to the latest United Nations study.
The UNDP Statistical Digest shows Zimbabwe ahead of all African countries and taking over from Tunisia which held pole position for years with Zimbabwe second-best and number one in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Zimbabwe's literacy level currently stands at 92 percent, up from 85 percent while Tunisia remains on 87 percent.
Commenting on the latest statistical data yesterday, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Dr Washington Mbizvo, attributed the increase in literacy levels to Government's investment in education over the years.
He said Government had promoted conventional and open distance learning in its quest to achieve education for all.
"The latest statistical digest was published last month and shows our country surpassing all African countries.
"This is because we have been able to make all people access education including those in resettlement areas.
"Despite hardships, education facilities are present in most parts of the country," he said.
Dr Mbizvo said while infrastructure had deteriorated, the quality and the culture of education had improved.
"Zimbabweans have always been eager to learn," he said.
He also cited Government's investment in teacher training colleges as another contributory factor to the increase in literacy levels.
"We have expanded the number of teachers' colleges to 13 and we are producing 2 500 teachers per year.
"Other countries in Africa produce between 200 and 400 teachers annually on average.
"This has seen other countries like Namibia requesting us to train teachers for them and this shows that we are well-recognised on the continent," he said.
As a result, despite the exodus by teachers to countries that offered better pay, Zimbabwe still produces more skilled personnel that most other nations.

A father is the most important person in our life because a father can be a mentor, a friend, a guide and much more. Remember, how he used to hold our hands and take us to the rallies. It is never easy to define a father's love. A father's love for his youngsters is frequently communicated in the penances they make, regardless of whether in the midst of emergency or just in the ordinary decisions of family life. The end of the year is near and it will be an utter disgrace if you do not do any effort in the New Year eve to surprise him. Although fathers do not demand much but a New Year wish or two might bring a big smile on the New Year's Eve. You can download Happy New year wishes for father from the internet and present the wishes to him in an amazing way.
You instilled in me in these years.
Your Love, Support and Care.
In my heart until I die.
These years to make me the person I am today.
To help me achieve great things.
Welcoming a new year, dad.

Progressive settles with family of woman killed in Baltimore who became center of internet movement
By Chris Korman and The Baltimore Sun
(Baltimore Sun)
Progressive Insurance has reached a settlement with the family of Kaitlynn Fisher, days after her brother's online rant against the company unleashed a torrent of backlash on social media.
Fisher's family will receive a payment in the "tens of thousands," according to its attorney, Allen W. Cohen of Annapolis. "It's exactly how much we asked for," he said.
The settlement prevents Cohen from filing a complaint with the Maryland Insurance Commissioner, he said, and the payment is separate from the judgment rendered by a jury in Baltimore Circuit Court last week awarding the Fishers $760,000.
Kaitlynn Fisher's parents, Joan and Stephen, originally filed the suit against Ronald Kevin Hope III, whose SUV struck their daughter's car at the intersection of North Calvert and 28th streets in Charles Village in June 2010, killing her.
Her auto insurance policy with Progressive insured her up to $100,000 in the event of being hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver. After the accident, Hope's insurance company, Nationwide, settled with the family, paying $25,000. Fisher's family, describing Hope as underinsured, sought $75,000 from Progressive, but the company refused to pay.
Cohen said the Fisher family had no recourse other than to file a civil suit against Hope.
A Progressive spokesman declined to comment, referring to a statement posted on the company's website. It defended the decision to take the case to court.
"A trial was necessary so that a jury could review all of the evidence and come to a decision," it said.
But Cohen said the family took umbrage at Progressive's decision to enter the case and argue in support of the defendant and against his clients and their customer.
"They chose to become an ally of the other driver," Cohen said. "That's what the family found so offensive."
The Progressive spokesman said the company was "defending our own interests" during the trial.
Progressive's statement refers to "credible conflicting eyewitness accounts as to who was at fault." Cohen said the company relied on Hope's account and that of a passenger in Fisher's car who was badly injured. The only eyewitness to the accident who gave a statement on the day it occurred — a driver stopped at the red light Hope allegedly ran — said Hope was at fault. The jury agreed.
Kaitlynn Fisher studied engineering at the Johns Hopkins University, earning undergraduate and graduate degrees, and was working as a contract employee for the Army Research Laboratory in Aberdeen at her death.
Fisher's brother Matt, a comedian in New York City, made a post to his Tumblr account on Monday titled, "My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer In Court." It quickly spread and prompted angry tweets at Progressive's official account.
Matt Fisher posted this Friday: "My family and I are pleased at the prospect of finally collecting Katie's insurance. We are also unspeakably grateful to the people around the world who are helping us share our story. As we move forward, we hope to focus on celebrating the joy that Katie brought us and working to change the balance of power between policy holders and the insurance companies they pay to protect them."

Home News Peugeot to set up Rs 4000-crore facility in Gujarat
Peugeot to set up Rs 4000-crore facility in Gujarat
Mohammed Asrar
French car-maker PSA Peugeot Citroen said it will create 30,000 direct and indirect jobs in Gujarat after it starts production in 2014. The company signed an agreement with Gujarat government on Thursday to produce 1.65 lakh cars per annum from the Sanand facility proposed to come over 600 acres.
Peugot Citroen has 16 manufacturing facilities worldwide and the Rs 4,000-crore Gujarat plant will be its 17th. The company will export 25% of the production from the Sanand facility. Peugeot is the third auto MNC to invest in Sanand after Tata Motors and Ford Motors in the last three years.
Tata announced in October 2008 that it set up a mother plant of its ultra-small car Nano at Sanand with an investment of Rs 2,200 crore. In July 2011, Ford Motors signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to set up a facility with an investment or Rs 4,000 crore. General Motors was the first auto MNC to invest in Gujarat at Halol in 1996.
Facilities of the three new entrants are adjacent to each other in the Northkotpura area which was under Anand Agriculture University till October 2008. A release said: "The project will give direct employment to 5,000 people. Additional jobs will be created by supplier park adjacent to the site to provide the company with necessary parts and services." The government said, 25,000 jobs will be created in the supplier park coming up adjacent to the main plant.
American car-maker Ford Motors announced in July that its Sanand facility will create 30,000 direct and indirect jobs. Country's largest car-maker Maruti Suzuki is yet to sign any formal agreement with the state government to locate its first facility outside Haryana, but its chairman RC Bhargav said the project will create of 1.5 lakh jobs when the facility in Gujarat becomes functional in five years. Maruti plans to produce 20 lakh cars in Gujarat in phases.
"We are proud to announce Peugeot's continued global expansion and to have chosen to grow our Indian roots in Gujarat. We view India as one of the most important and dynamic markets in the world, with forecasts of it becoming the third largest automotive market by 2020. Gujarat offers a proactive business friendly environment, excellent infrastructure and is geographically well-positioned to cater to passenger car markets across India," said a company press release quoting Philippe Varin, the chairman of the managing board of PSA Peugeot Citroen.
A State Support Agreement (SSA) to this effect was signed in the state capital Gandhinagar between the company. Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh were also in the contention for the project.
The first locally-produced Peugeot car is expected in 2014. As a part of SSA, the car-maker will also set up an Automotive Skills Development Institute (ASDI) to provide the skilled manpower for the industry. The centre will be of international standards will be jointly set up by the government of Gujarat, Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) and Peugeot on Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. The GIDC has earmarked 25 acres of land for the purpose.

Approaching and Funding Smart Improvements in Public Housing
Public housing authorities are striving to provide low-income families and individuals the amenities, efficiencies, resiliency and security smart buildings deliver. Getting there requires infrastructure and technology upgrades that will connect these buildings to the communities they serve.
GETTING STARTED: APPROACHING AND FUNDING SMART IMPROVEMENTS IN PUBLIC HOUSING
The Housing Authority of the City of Kokomo relies heavily on federal funding to operate and maintain 550 units. Like many federally funded groups, the organization has been forced to do more with less. Even so, the authority invested $3.3 million in upgrades and repairs, including bath-to-shower conversions, lighting upgrades, new sliding doors, weatherization and other initiatives designed to improve energy efficiency and provide a more comfortable, safe and secure environment. And they did it without providing upfront capital.
In other communities, housing authorities are investing in pass cards for elderly residents that track when they enter or leave a building, as well as security cameras and alert systems that connect to emergency response teams. The goal is to take what we know about smart cities and create smart housing to better maintain building systems, improve communications, and support the well-being and safety of residents.
Achieving this goal requires planning, convening department representatives, and assessing the short- and long-term needs of facilities. It also requires funding. As federal funding shrinks, along with access to municipal leases and bonds, housing authorities are exploring alternative funding. Among them, contingent payment programs and energy performance contracts (EPC) provide a funding source and guarantee that facility upgrades will deliver specified savings over a fixed period of time. Another option, public private partnerships (P3), transfers the risk of design, construction, finance and operations to the private sector in exchange for guaranteed fixed monthly payment terms and service levels over a designated time period.
Using an EPC, Johnson Controls showed the City of Kokomo how energy and water savings could pay for performance infrastructure improvements to housing authority facilities. The performance contract guarantees $223,000 in annual energy savings with a payback term of 20 years. Additionally, the installation of new fixtures and the conversion of tubs to showers in one building produced water savings of $133,000 in just six months, and new lighting gives housing authority residents a greater sense of security.
Like other communities, the City of Kokomo is discovering the benefits EPCs offer. According to Kokomo Housing Authority CEO Deb Cook, "It's an opportunity to save our capital fund for other projects and to improve the quality of life for our residents and our greater Kokomo community."
Mary Fox, Director, Public Housing, North America
Mary joined Johnson Controls in 2007 as director of public housing. She has more than 30 years' experience in the design, engineering, procurement, construction, operations, measurement and verification, and management of energy performance contracts in the affordable housing sector.

Ghost In The Shell Reveals New Major And Geisha Posters
Anime movies news posters
They may have stolen Major's life but Paramount have not stolen our excitement and anticipation to see Rupert Sander's Hollywood adaptation of the cult anime Ghost In The Shell. Japanese Manga/animation doesn't have a great record, however, looking at these stylish new posters for Rupert Sander's movie it has a lot going for it!
Despite the usual moans about 'White-washing' controversy the movie has been picking up quite a health social media buzz. We can't say if the overall movie will deliver (we hope it does), we just hope it's not all style no substance. The marketing train was slow but as we creep closer to the movie's release it seems Paramount have been upping the ante and impressing us with every new piece of promotion. The posters themselves don't really reveal anything particular with Major poster sees our heroine smash through the glass in a vital scene. The second poster is off the creepy real life like Geisha Robo who give us nightmares!
In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, "The Ghost in the Shell."
Ghost In The Shell arrives in UK&Ireland on 31st March. Starring "Beat" Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, Pilou Asbæk, and Kaori Momoi.

he doesn't tolerate worming unless he is put on a probios.for a week before and a week after..he is a ton of work but so worth it he is a 16 yr old polish arabian.he shows in almost everything from hunt to western pleasure to barrel racing he has worked with handicapped children and trail rides.he is on a dry lot as even though he has never foundered on grass he is allowed grass turn out very limited a few times a week but not spring or fall and the grass must be at least 2 foot high. i do allow him a grass hay for turn out free choice.so he does have something in front of him at all times his weight stays good as long as he is worked and has turnout….
is there something else i can give him or change to help him thru the winter months? he tends to completely shed his front frogs off so they are concave and we have to soft pour in pad him to stimulate regrowth and they grow back big and healthy,he is kept in morrison shoes as he will not tolerate barefoot at all.he gets to sore so not worth trying.i have been around horses for 48 yrs and dealing with his issues for coming 8 yrs he was 8 when he showed signs and his ACTH levels were thru the roof at 683 normal range is 0 to 32 he has maintained for the last 3 yrs at 16 to 20 with diet control and pergolide.just wanted your input to maybe beable to help him thru the winter more comforabily as its his worst time of year.
IR is a real issue and see hundreds yearly. I do have wonderful success generally and those horses on pergolide, well, generally even get them off. Here on this site might go to ( www.askdrdan.com ) and search for insulin. IR or whatever (search box near top right side>).
For the time being and probably only for a few tubs I would suggest our Critical Care IR formula even if he is not over weight currently. This product is quite pricey and wish I could make for less but just can't. You If he currently has a f fortunately you wont need this forever though a few have had to stay on it (possibly yours because of such long duration and complications). Check out the various web sites and article.
The one on laminitis certainly applies as do others. You will see that I don't suggest vaccinations unless required by law and have a different approach to deworming too. Enjoy the audios, videos etc.

Q: Duplicate Dashboards should be avoided I have a dashboard page that displays several dashboards. I also have the liberty to choose which dashboards have to be displayed. But the problem is if I am choosing the same dashboard twice it is getting displayed. I want to put a restriction wherein if the dashboard is chosen twice only one should be displayed.
The above image consists of two similar dashboards. I want only one among them to be displayed. How do I restrict this in JAVASCRIPT?

A: You can use the one line jQuery code if there is the same class for duplicate dashboards
$('.className').not(':last').remove();

It will just keep the last one and remove all others that are with the same class
