Gaming Soundtracks: Stranger Things (Volume 1)
Image by Lakeshore Records.
Today I want to talk about another soundtrack that features useful background music for a Tales from the Loop game. It's Stranger Things!
If you've seen the show, you probably noticed the cool, creepy, electronic music already. I'm a sucker for electronic music, anyway (TRON being one of my favorite soundtracks), so I loved this one. And it's just as good listening to the music separate from the series.
Here are some notes on how you might use the individual tracks during scenes in your game. (You might want to grab an Eggo waffle before we start in on this, because we've got a lot of tracks to cover.)
Stranger Things. The very-recognizable title theme. You might want to skip this while playing your game if you think it would make players think of Stranger Things and thus take them out of your setting. Or not, if you think it would put your players in a desirable Stranger Things mindset.
Kids. Somewhat slow-paced, almost cheerful, with a nice melody. Would be good for introducing Kids!
Nancy and Barb. Still electronic, but with a more traditional feel. A good backdrop for interaction between Kids, or perhaps between a Kid and a friendly robot.
This Isn't You. Much more mellow, but also peaceful.
Lay-Z-Boy. This reminds me a little of the Close Encounters theme. Another good one for meeting a robot!
Friendship. A light, peaceful track. Maybe play this when the Kids are at their Hideout, or when one is using Lead to heal another.
Eleven. Slower, and perhaps a bit sad, or maybe it's just relaxed. Also useful for Hideout music or for introducing a young NPC.
A Kiss. A higher-energy track where something interesting is clearly going on. Such as when a Mystery intensifies!
Castle Beyers. A tense track that implies an impending threat. (Here come the dinosaurs!) But then it gets peaceful. (There go the dinosaurs.)
Hawkins. Slow, low-volume track, useful for anything other than action.
The Upside Down. This track starts out pretty peaceful but takes a turn for the creepier about halfway through. You could play this when you want a scene to start shifting in a similar way after about two minutes. This is perhaps my favorite on the album.
After Sarah. Sort of an ambient background track.
One Blink For Yes. A light piano piece, perhaps useful for an investigation scene.
Photos in the Woods. Another semi-ambient piece, with a sinister undertone. Definitely something spooky going on when this is playing.
Fresh Blood. A somewhat lighter track signifying some sort of rising action.
Lamps. A happy little electronic melody.
Hallucinations. This one, to me, evokes mystery.
Hanging Lights. A medium-intensity track suggesting someone is taking definitive action.
Biking to School. Jaunty and friendly, suggesting the world is full of possibility.
Are You Sure? A somber piece, but still emphasizing the electronic sound.
Agents. Jazzy electronic beat that suggests something is happening, or about to.
Papa. Not especially melodic, this track seems like it would have good general-purpose non-combat usefulness.
Cops Are Good at Finding. Another one good for investigation, with an upbeat feel.
No Weapons. A relatively quiet track of slowly building menace.
Walking Through the Upside Down. An interesting, electronically-driven piece that builds dramatically. Good for setting up some surprise or climax.
She'll Kill You. A relatively slow track of intensifying action, featuring an accompanying drum beat.
Run Away. As the title suggests, the pace of this percussive track would be good for a chase scene, or a scene with a time limit.
No Autopsy. This is ephemeral-but-not-quite-scary sounding music good for general purpose use.
Dispatch. Short, quick, and exciting. Good for a chase or brief moment of action.
Joyce and Lonnie Fighting. A quiet track, with an undercurrent of excitement.
Lights Out. The sounds in this track are disconcerting, from the buzzing synthesizer to the periodic louder percussive beat. Use this to unnerve the Kids.
Hazmat Suits. A menacing, eerie track. Good for introducing an adversary.
Theoretically. A pleasant and optimistic track of scientific wonder.
You Can Talk to Me. A short, quiet track that's peaceful and with perhaps a bit of wonder.
What Else Is There to Do? Creepy, mysterious, and low-key. Good for exploration.
Hawkins Lab. A deep-sounding track that starts out menacing and quiet but increases in activity and interest (and perhaps hopefulness) in the last 45 seconds.
(Earlier in the month, I discussed another useful soundtrack for a Tales from the Loop game called Island Tracks.)

Looking for some Halloween masks that would be fun to make? Halloween is sneaking up on you and if you get caught without a costume, it could be scary! Don't scream. With a creative mask pattern or stencil you have the start of a unique Halloween costume. Plus you'll have a great time development it yourself. And as you may have guessed, there are many ways to use stencils to generate a costume. We are going to search for several of them here. So, let's jump right in but don't be scared.
Ok! So there aren't too many stencils out there that are specifically designed as Halloween masks. So, you'll have to think face the pumpkin a miniature and get those creative juices flowing. After all, that's why development your own craft masks is so much fun.
When we were kids we loved development our own costumes except we didn't have all the fancy stuff like felt and craft foam or patterns from the internet (I'm dating myself aren't I?). It didn't matter because we had a ball advent up with ideas using the things we could de facto find around the house.
Cut out a round or pumpkin shape from orange felt (stiff felt is great), orange craft foam or even paper you painted orange. If you can, don't forget to cut a miniature stem on top and dab some green paint on that. If you de facto want to be creative, paint some vertical curve lines in a darker orange to de facto give it the pumpkin look. Then take your stencil designed for pumpkin carving and use it to cut openings into the felt. You may need to make some adjustments to the size of your stencil to make sure that eye, nose and mouth holes are in the appropriate places for you to see, breath and talk. Just take the stencil to a copy engine and reduce or strengthen it until you have the right size. Use a hole punch tool to make nice round holes on each side and attach orange or black ribbons so that you can tie it around your head.
Here is one of our tried and true methods of mask making. It's a miniature like the tip above. Take large paper bags (big enough so that you can slide it over the head). Paint the bag orange and then use a stencil for pumpkin carving to cut out the face on the front of the bag. You can find abundance of printable Halloween stencils on the internet. You may need to trim out some curves for the shoulders so that the bag can come down low in the front and back. Don't forget to cut out holes around the ears for good hearing. It's quick, easy and best of all free!
To perfect a pumpkin mask costume, cut leg and arm holes in one of those jack-o-lantern leaf bags. Fill it with plastic shopping bags to fill it out and tape it around your shoulders once it's full.
Let me just mention someone else creative way to use these stencils designed for carving pumpkins. Try using the old stand-by sheet for a ghost costume and cut out the stencils in the face area. Use a miniature creativity and decorate the rest of the sheet too. Or maybe spray paint the sheet orange around the area that will cover the head before cutting out the pattern. To be de facto creative, after the stencil is cut into the sheet, outline the holes with some black acrylic craft paint. This makes the openings stand out and also helps the edges from becoming frayed.
Halloween stencils offer an easy way to trick (or treat!) out a t-shirt. Use an old one from the closet or purchase a new one (old is preferable). If you have an orange shirt, use black fabric paint to put the image from a pumpkin carving stencil across the front of the shirt. If you have a black shirt handy then use orange or white fabric paint.
Ok. So we covered all the base stencils for pumpkin carving that are designed as the general faces we're all used to. But now with the internet we have so many others to pick from. Some very talented artists have taken the whole pumpkin carving stencil art to a whole new level. You can find designs of cats, pirates, wolves, witches, demons, cartoon characters, vampires, ghouls, mummies ... Well, the list is too long to keep going. My point is that the above options for creating a mask can be used for most of these. Remember that these were designed for a round pumpkin so that to resize them for face shapes and sizes is not a far stretch and can commonly be achieved.
Now let's come up with a few ideas to perfect the costume for some of the masks mentioned above.
Feel like howling at the moon? A wolf mask is easy to generate with gray felt, craft foam or paint. perfect the costume with a gray t-shirt and gray sweat pants.
Feel like a feline? Black cats are always popular at Halloween. perfect a cat mask with a black turtle neck shirt, black leggings and a black feather boa for a tail.
And speaking of the many possibilities that stencils give us to decorate, here are some more creative and easy ideas. Just because Halloween stencils and patterns were designed for pumpkin carving doesn't mean that they can't be used for a large collection of other Halloween crafts such as: paint them on a bag for collecting your treats; paint them on the projection of a napkin to decorate your festive table; or paint them on colored paper for decorating the windows or doors. There are many other ways to use these wonderful designs to embellish your holiday decorations.
I know how creative you can be when you get started so don't be frightened to try something new. generate a costume using a stencil or mask pattern and finish up with some other fun ideas. I hope your Halloween is a real Scream!

Shell and Eni on trial in Italy for allegations of bribery of Nigerian officials
Anglo-Dutch company Shell and Italian company Eni are on trial in Italy for entering into a $1.1 billion oil licence agreement with Nigeria which may have included '"unprecedented" terms'. It is alleged that a large proportion of the payments made to obtain the licence were used to fund a payout to the Nigerian oil minister, Dan Etete, and may also have been intended for, amongst other officials, the former president Goodluck Jonathan. Research has shown that the terms of the licence, which were objected to by members of Nigeria's Department of Petroleum Resources, are favourable to the oil companies and could reduce the Nigerian government's revenue from the fields by $5.9 billion.

EU investigation shows Danske Bank ignored warnings over suspect transactions
An investigation by the European Banking Authority (EBA) has revealed that the Russian Central Bank warned Estonian and Danish financial supervisors of potential money laundering and tax evasion linked to Danske Bank clients in Estonia. The warnings were given in 2007 and 2013, warning that suspicious transactions amounted to over $3 billion in 2011-2012 alone. Despite findings by the EBA that the regulators did not take sufficient action to address these warnings, the EU's national banking supervisors have rejected there was a breach of EU law and blocked for now any further action.
The EBA report has been released following disclosure in 2018 of a scandal at Danske Bank, which saw 200 billion euros of suspicious transactions flowing through its Estonian branch between 2007 and 2015.

The figure has already reached 70% of the value of total losses in 2018 of$1.7 billion. A report from US cybersecurity company CipherTrace has suggested unimplemented European regulation and unsophisticated management teams may be the cause of the rise.
EU renews sanctions against Myanmar
The Council of the European Union has opted to renew asset freezes and travel bans on 14 individuals for serious human rights violations against the Rohingya population, ethnic minority villagers or civilians in Rakhine, Kachin and Shan States. The Council has required the Government of Myanmar to take meaningful action. The sanctions regime will remain in effect until April 2020.

Bario Things To Do > CAPTURING THE STARS: A 'No-Frills' Guide To Night Photography In Bario.
In Bario, when the sun goes down, the stars come out to play.
One would think that only professionals photographers could take night shots like these. In some ways, that's true… a long time ago. But with the new technology found in many amateur 'entry-level' cameras today, it's not that hard for a beginner to take beautiful starry-night photos like these. Of course, there are many levels of camera technology, and a high-end camera can do wonders with more ease than the low-end camera, but with the right skills, you can take great starry-night shots (official term is astrophotography) with an entry-level camera that would make your friends on FB go WOW!
If you've come to Bario, chances are you'll be carrying a camera of some sort. There's also a good half chance of you knowing how to use only half your camera's full set of features and potential (mostly the Full-Auto mode green box and Auto-Scene mode – sports/low light/landscape functions). And if that's the case, you'd have missed a great opportunity to shoot Bario's beautiful starlit nightscape (and when the street lights are fully installed in the future, you may never have the chance again).
So, here's a quick easy instruction on how to 'start' with night photogaphy and astro-photography when you are in Bario.
Now, entry-level digital cameras today are heaps more advanced in terms of features, control and sensitivity than they were 10 years ago, so what's more important to a great night shot these days is not so much the quality of the camera but the quality of the eye that composes the shot, and the weather conditions of the night itself.
So long as your digital camera has a 'Manual' (M) mode (and you can also find them even in some point-and-shoot compact cameras), you already have the basic tool you need to start taking these photos. However, if your compact camera doesn't have the (M) function on it, then you're out of luck.
The other very important thing to have is a tripod.
Below: DSLR cameras and any Compact Camera with a 'Manual' (M) mode can get the job done.
Nikon compact camera with (M) mode.
Canon Compact Camera with (M) mode.
Once you get into the (M) mode, you can control the shutter speed and aperture size.
So, to not make this article very technical, (and just using your regular settings), let's just start with setting your digital camera to the 'Manual Mode' (M).
1) Your ISO (set it to between 800 and 1600, or sometimes 3200).
2) Your Shutter Speed – Tv (set it to 30″ – it means 30 seconds exposure).
3) and your aperture size – Av (set it to the biggest – it was f3.5 on my lens).
4) Set your lens focus ring to infinity ( ∞ ).
*Note – This is a starting point. From here onwards, you can toy around with the settings (Shutter Speed + ISO + aperture) after every shot, to get best results.
Once you've adjusted the camera's settings, it's time to shoot the scene. Start with something, anything, with the sky as the background. Compose your scene, or just point the camera in a direction you like (because it's dark, and you can't really see anything way in the distance).
Note:The camera has to be really still for the 30 seconds. So, having a very sturdy tripod is important.
A tripod is an essential component of astrophotography. Don't forget to bring one up.
Start with using your finger to press and release the shutter. (you don't have to leave your finger on the shutter button). Wait 30 seconds and have a look at the result.
If you're not so steady with the hands, you'll notice that there will be some motion blur in the picture from the movement of your finger on the shutter. Some people can do it well, others not so well. If you're one of those who can't keep a slow and steady shutter finger, then here's a trick.
A very simple solution – Turn on your timer shutter release (all cameras have a timer shutter release setting – the one we use for group photos). Press the shutter button, let the timer start the countdown, and wait 40 seconds. (10 seconds for timer release, and 30 seconds for shutter exposure). Check the shot.
After you've taken a picture, repeat the process. With digital cameras, we are no longer limited to the 24 or 36 frames on a Kodak/Fuji celluloid film roll. You also get instant result on the photo you took through the LCD panel. So, if you aren't happy with your picture, retake the shot – with a different aperture size, and shutter speed or ISO speed setting. So you can keep snapping until you get the shot you like.
Different cameras will respond differently to the settings mentioned, so try the different settings and see the results. If you still don't like it, use another setting and see what comes out. The more photos you take, the better your odds are of getting better shots.
The Bario night scene on a full moon night.
Photography is more of an art than science, so feel free to experiment and come to your own picture perfect sense. Soon you'll develop your own preference for a style to your astrophotography. For example, I have developed a preference for shooting the night sky when there's a bright full moon up in the sky (mid month).
I use something like this. Was RM100 in 2011, but you can get cheaper ones now.
Now, there's one very crucial tool to have with you at all times, and without it, you'd be absolutely unable to do all those things above. Headlamps. You'll need the light, and you'll need to leave your hands free, because they'll be doing a lot of work. Headlamps will also help you 'paint the foreground with light' (but that'll be topic for another post).
Experiment and play around with your composition. Here, a hand held light source was used to 'paint the foreground'. This was also shot 'Trigger Finger'.
In Bario, depending on what kind of night shot you want to take, here are a few key things to take note of. On a good day, early evening (8mp after dinner) is a good time to be out shooting if you want clear skies. If you go out too late, the mists starts blowing in at about 12am-1am, and you might not be able to get a good shot as the mist blocks your view of the stars and your lens gets misted. So, go out early, and you'll give yourself plenty of time experiment with your camera.
However, the mist can spectacularly add to a photo if you know how to shoot it. Late in the night, go up the higher hills for a spectacular shot. As the mist fills up the valley below, you'll see a layer of cloud below, and stars above it. Suggestions are Prayer Mountain, Proposal Hill (aka Panorama Hill), and Korea Hill. These spots have good views over the valley.
*If you're going up to Bario with a camera, look us up at the Lodge. We're not quite the pro, but we'll gladly help you make more use out of your camera on your evenings in Bario.

For Lez Hough's Article 'The Foundation of the Mythe Mission, Tewkesbury' see:-
http://www.saintjosephstewkesbury.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/MytheMission.pdf
Showing the Coat of Arm of the Marquis de Lys
Porter Family of The Mythe by Richard Barton (2006)
In July 1989 the late Lez Hough produced his essay, 'The Foundation of the Mythe Mission, Tewkesbury' as Journal X of the Gloucestershire and North Avon Catholic History Society. In his introduction he spoke of his delight in uncovering 'a story of remarkable generosity and piety' but, with typical modesty, he also added that his detective work should be seen as merely 'the foundations of a more comprehensive history of modern Catholicism in Tewkesbury'. This article is not the 'comprehensive history' but I have been able to discover a little more about Thomas Porter, his nephew Charles, and their relationships with the local Catholic family of Wakeman.
The Porters seem to hail from Orrell, near Wigan, in Lancashire and to date I have not discovered links with Endymion Porter, the recusant gentleman associated with Robert Dover's Cotswold Olympick Games, from whom Lez postulated the Porters of the Mythe might claim descent. In his will of 1813, Thomas Porter of the Mythe refers to his property at Gerards, Orrell whilst the 1861 census return for Mythe Villa House reveals that his nephew, Charles Porter, was born at Orrell in about 1797.
The important local connection seems to be the marriage between Thomas Porter and Frances Wakeman of Beckford Hall. This alliance brought the Porters into a long tradition of Catholic recusancy in the Tewkesbury area. So far I have not discovered the date of the wedding but it certainly took place before 1787. In that year Henry Wakeman of Beckford made his will and in it he refers to his daughter Frances Porter. She was probably born in about 1750 at Beckford Hall so the marriage could have been as early as the 1770s.
The 1836 edition of the Tewkesbury Yearly Register and Magazine marked the passing of Frances Porter's brother, the ninety-six-year-old William Wakeman, the last of the line of Wakemans of Beckford Hall, with the publication of his pedigree and a history of his family. Here we discover that Frances Porter was the eighth child of Henry Wakeman and his wife Mary, the daughter of Edmund Bracy, of Beoley, Worcestershire. We read that she was 'married to the late Thomas Porter, esq. of the Mythe, (who erected the delightful residence which is now in the possession of his nephew, Charles Porter, esq.) and died without issue.'
Interestingly the seventh child of Henry and Mary Wakeman was Walter Wakeman. According to the pedigree, he 'lived at the Mythe, and was honoured with a morning call by King George the Third, when he visited Tewkesbury and the Mythe Tute in 1788 : he married, 1. Anne, widow of … Chinn; and 2. Mary, daughter of … Williams, esq. of Little Malvern, where he resided during the latter part of his life, and died without issue.'
The late J. N. Langston added further details about this royal visit in his unpublished essay on Post Reformation Catholics in Tewkesbury: 'Walter Wakeman, brother of William Wakeman of Beckford, was living at the Mythe, and he was honoured with a morning call on 23rd July 1788, by King George III and his Queen, together with the Princess Royal and the Princesses Augusta and Elizabeth, who were re-visiting Tewkesbury. They went to the summit of the Mythe Hill (then known as Mythe Tute, but afterwards as Royal Hill) which commands a fine and extensive view of the River Severn. The Gloucester Journal, quoting a Tewkesbury letter, said that "Walter Wakeman, Esq., a gentleman of the persuasion of the church of Rome, and the proprietor of the ground on which their Majesties stood, as a mark of his loyalty and affection, made a large bonfire at the top of the hill, and illuminated his house in the evening."
An elder brother of both Frances Porter and Walter Wakeman was Henry Wakeman. The pedigree refers to him as 'an eminent land agent, of Baker-Street, Portman-Square, who built a house at the Mythe, now occupied by Joseph Longmore, esq. for his summer residence'. This Henry Wakeman, the younger, died at the Mythe in 1814.
The article in the 1836 Tewkesbury Yearly Register and Magazine further reveals historic links between the Mythe and the Wakeman Family:
'The ancient Roman Catholic family of Wakeman derive their descent from John Wake, or Wakeman, who, after the Norman conquest, fixed his abode in Yorkshire, where his descendants appear to have remained for many generations.
Early in the fifteenth century, a William Wakeman, of this family came into Gloucestershire, and was ancestor of the Wakemans of Drayton in Worcestershire.
In about a century afterwards, we find Richard Wakeman living at the Mythe, and Thomas Wakeman at Southwick, both of which places are hamlets in the parish of Tewkesbury; while their brother Robert, or John (as he has been more frequently called) became Abbot of Tewkesbury, and afterwards Bishop of Gloucester. These three were younger brothers of William Wakeman of Drayton.
In the year 1551, Richard Wakeman, a nephew of the Bishop, and great grandson of John Wakeman of Drayton, was resident at Beckford; and from that period to the death of the last proprietor, the family appear to have made this village their constant residence.'
The first local reference that I have found for Thomas Porter dates from 1794 when he was excused from being a Director for the Poor of Tewkesbury because of his age. This means that his brother-in-law, Walter Wakeman, was living at the Mythe from before 1788 until his marriage in 1796, his brother-in-law, Henry Wakeman, owned a house there until 1814 whilst the Porters were resident there from before 1794.
The late Bryan Little in an article published in the magazine, Gloucestershire & Avon Life (February 1978), offers us further information:
'The last Abbot of Tewkesbury, John Wakeman, is said, six years before the dissolution of his abbey, to have leased some of the monastery's land at the Mythe to his brother Richard; the property included the house still standing and partly of Tudor date, known as King John's Castle. After the dissolution, Richard Wakeman secured the ownership of the estate from the king, and the Wakemans, who remained Catholic throughout penal times, kept their land at the Mythe for another three centuries.'
Back in 1717, John Hopcutt, was given under 'Mithe and Mithe Hook' in a list of Papists compiled by the Clerk of the Peace. Together this patchy evidence indicates a continual Roman Catholic presence on the Mythe from the earliest recusant Wakemans until the closure of St Joseph's Church in 1977 and the more recent sale to a dentist of the Porter home by their descendant, Valerie Townsend.
The Wakeman pedigree spoke of the 'delightful residence' erected by Thomas Porter on the Mythe. A copy lease dated 24th July 1812 refers to 'The moiety or half of the capital messuage or tenement in the Mythe, pa. Tewkesbury; a close piece of meadow and pasture (7 acres) of the late Walter Wakeman, now (belonging to) Thomas Porter, esq.' Alan Brooks has written in 'Gloucesterhire 2: The Vale & the Forest of Dean': 'On this ridge above, enjoying splendid views over the river plain, several early C19 villas. The most notable is the Mythe, a three-bay villa with a brick rear portion dated 1812… Typical Regency fittings, with mahogany doors and reeded doorcases.'
Thomas Porter made his will in August 1813 and the Reverend John Birdsall, the Catholic Missioner at Cheltenham, witnessed the signing of this document. Thomas made provision for his wife Frances, together with three other relatives, namely his nephew, Charles Porter, who was then aged under twenty-one and a student at Stonyhurst, his niece, Miss Catherine Porter, who lived with him, and his niece, Mrs. Frances Sanderson of Preston. The executors were his brothers-in-law, William and Henry Wakeman. His property included his residence on the Mythe together with his shares in the Grand Junction Canal and Gerards at Orrell This will was proved at London on 2nd November 1813.
Having considered the life of Thomas Porter and his connections with the ancient family of Wakeman, we now turn to his nephew, Charles Porter. As was mentioned Charles was born in 1796 at Orrell and was a student at Stonyhurst from 5th July 1807 until 11th August 1814. The Supplement to the Stonyhurst Magazine (No 299, June 1932) offers us a brief biography stating that Charles was born on 21st June 1796, the first son of Charles Porter of the Mythe by Dorothy, d of … Yates, of Liverpool. The eleven-year-old Charles succeeded his father on his death on 20th February 1808. Lez Hough further gleaned from somewhere that Charles Porter's father was a coin collector. Whilst there is little reason to dispute any of this information it does seem unlikely that Charles Porter senior ever resided at the Mythe.
On 7th November 1822 Charles Porter married Elizabeth (sometimes Eliza), a daughter of John Wright of Kelvedon in Essex. She was the sister of William Wright who was a month older than Charles Porter and had been his contemporary throughout his time at Stonyhurst. In later life William Wright succeeded his great-uncle, Sir John Lawson, 6th Bart., of Brough Hall, and took the surname and arms of Lawson. Three years later, in 1837, Sir William Lawson was responsible for erecting the fine Catholic chapel at Brough Hall, which Lez Hough described as 'a replica of the archiepiscopal chapel at York Minster'. Lawson was created a Baronet on 8th September 1841, received the Order of Christ from Pope Gregory XVI in 1844 and he died on 22nd June 1865. His arms are displayed in the west bay of Stonyhurst Refectory along with those of his brother-in-law, Charles Porter. Elizabeth and William Wright also had a younger sister Catherine Wright who died a spinster in Cheltenham on 6th December 1871, aged sixty-nine years. She was buried with the Porters at Kemerton. There is a reference in Cheltenham to a donation of £10 from a Miss Catherine Wright to St Gregory's School extension fund dated 12th April 1871.
Elizabeth Wright was born in 1794 and, according to the census return for 1861 she was born at Middleton in Yorkshire. Charles and Elizabeth settled in Tewkesbury in the house built by Uncle Thomas Porter at the Mythe. Alan Brooks describes how a Gothic ashlar façade was built in about 1825 for Charles Porter. The façade included mullioned and transformed Tudor-arched windows, with Perpendicular ground floor bay windows flanking a buttressed porch; parapet with raised centre with Porter's arms. Having re-modelled their home the couple were ready for their four children, namely Charles William (born 1826), Mary Elizabeth (born 1830), Mary Clementina (born 1832) and Mary Catherine (born 1834).
Lez Hough corresponded with the late Sister Francis-Agnes Onslow and gleaned that the girls were enrolled at the Franciscan School at Taunton respectively in 1839, 1843 and 1845, 'each being at the time about ten years of age'. Young Charles William entered Stonyhurst on 5th September 1838 but sadly died there on 5th January 1845. The school records report that 'C. Porter died in the New Infirmary on Jan. 5th at 3o'clock a.m. R.I.P.' The Tewkesbury Yearly Register & Magazine for 1845 reported:
'5th January 1845 At Stonyhurst College, Lancashire in the 19th year of his age, Charles William, only son of Charles Porter Esq. of the Mythe.'
During the last twenty years Charles Porter had become increasingly well respected in the Tewkesbury area. In 1824 he had served as Director of the Poor of Tewkesbury Parish and he was later to serve as Mayor on three occasions -1837, 1839 and 1841.
The Tewkesbury Yearly Register and Magazine for 9th November 1837 records the following:
'Mr Alderman Porter was elected Mayor without opposition. Mr Porter and the 2 senior magistrates of the borough F. Eyston and C.E. Hanford esquires are Roman Catholics and it is some what remarkable after the long and rigid exclusion from the Corporation of all who were not considered high churchmen, that the two Mayors elected under the Municipal Corporation Act should have been Dissenters and the 3rd a strict and consistent member of the Romish Church. May the "reformed town council" continue to choose a mayor so justly respected, as eminently honourable, and as well qualified to fulfil the important duties of the office as Mr Porter'
The same magazine recorded on 19th November 1841 that Charles Porter esq. was elected Mayor for the year ensuing and that Charles Porter esq. and James Blount Lewis esq. were both re-elected as aldermen. Elsewhere it was noted that Alderman Porter, who lived out of town, had said how disgraceful the cost of adequate water and drainage system would be at 2/- rate for twenty years. Porter was described by Lez Hough as 'a keen and discriminating sportsman, he was the owner of at least three guns by John Manton'
The 1834 edition of the Catholic national directory, the Laity Directory, included this anonymous notice: 'A gentleman, in the neighbourhood, is willing to assist in establishing a chapel in Tewkesbury, when this desirable object can be entered upon with a probability of success.' As Lez Hough remarked in his article, we can guess that this gentleman is no other than Charles Porter. Clearly the proposal made in this advertisement was not pursued for attention seems to have moved to the neighbouring village of Kemerton where the Eystons and Hanfords were preparing to erect a Catholic Church. Certainly Charles Porter was a donor to the funds for the building of the church at Kemerton. Once again the Tewkesbury Yearly Register and Magazine covered the solemn opening of St Benet's in 1843 and noted that Charles Porter and Family were present at the service. The Catholic national magazine, the Weekly Orthodox Journal, mangled the account and referred inaccurately to the presence of T.R. Porter and his Family. This inaccurate reference caused Lez Hough considerable confusion when he wrote his article in 1989.
Christine Collins, the historian of St Benet's Church, has discovered that in 1855 two statues, carved in stone, one of the Blessed Virgin with the Infant Saviour and the other of St Joseph, were presented to St Benet's Church by Charles Porter of the Mythe, Tewkesbury. These were placed in the niches on either side of the altar. Also she has found that in 1867 Porter endowed the Catholic School at Kemerton with the sum of £100. A copy of the 1852 trust deed for the school, now in the possession of the Eyston Family, refers to Charles Porter as one of the six trustees.
The 1861 census return reveals that Charles and Elizabeth Porter were living at Mythe Villa House with their two daughters and four servants. Charles was described as an Alderman and Magistrate. Their second daughter, Mary Clementina, had already joined the Assumption convent in Earl's Court Road, London in 1858 so she was obviously not at home on that night. Three years after the Census, in 1864, Mary Elizabeth married Francis-Gabriel de Lys at St George's Cathedral, Southwark and five years after that her sister Mary Catherine married Frederic Gerard at St Gregory's Cheltenham. The story of the building of St Joseph's Church and the lives of the descendents of Charles Porter have been fully told by Lez Hough and there is no need to repeat it here.
Elizabeth Porter died on 11th June 1865, aged seventy-one years, and was buried at St Benet's Kemerton. A fine monstrance was later commissioned in her memory. Her husband, Charles Porter, died on 19th March 1867, aged seventy-years, and he was buried with his wife at Kemerton. This event took place exactly three years before St Joseph's Church was opened on the Mythe. In his will, Lez Hough discovered that Charles Porter had made his daughter, the marquise, tenant for life of all the property that his Uncle Thomas Porter had enjoyed in his life time and that he, Charles Porter had inherited, together with the property that he had bought at various times since.
Whilst the story of the Mythe Mission has been fully told by Lez Hough it would seem that he did not have available to him the account of the opening of St Joseph's Church published in the Tewkesbury Register & Gazette, dated 26th March 1870, which I have included here:
'The New Roman Catholic Chapel at Tewkesbury
An addition has just been made to the public buildings of the borough in the form of a Roman Catholic Chapel. For some time past the workmen of Messrs. Collins and Cullis have been engaged in a singular process of transformation on some buildings at the Mythe, which were formerly used as a coach house and stables for the mansion near thereto, the residence of the late W. Dillon Esq. The result of the labour expended is, that what was until recently a dilapidated block of stabling is now a substantial and neat looking place of worship. The scheme appeared to be to make as much of the old building as possible available for the construction of the new chapel. A new wall has been erected at the west end, in which are two windows and a small circular light, a niche of carved stone-work being placed in the centre, the whole surmounted by a bell turret and stone cross. Three windows have been inserted in the north wall, and an entrance porch, also surmounted by a cross, erected on the same side and near to the west end. Stone-capped buttresses are placed at certain points to give strength to the north and west walls. The south wall remains untouched with the exception of the erection against it of small chamber for the staircase which gives access to the gallery through a doorway on the inside. The roof which has been raised several feet, is slated and crowned with ornamental tilework. A portion of the stabling still remains untouched in its exterior at the east end, on which we understand a priest's residence is to be erected at some future time. The interior arrangements are in their present state of a very plain and simple description. The floor is boarded, and the seats are plain open benches with backs and knee boards. The Sanctuary, at the east end, is risen one step above the level of the floor of the body of the church from which it is divided by a rail supported on ornamental ironwork, and is very beautifully laid with encaustic tiles and stone edgings. A further ascent of two steps leads to the altar, which is placed against the wall and adorned with the usual embellishments. A vestry is also erected at this end, access to the same being obtained through a doorway at the north corner of the Chancel. At the west end is a gallery for the organ and singers. The roof is supported by plain open woodwork and very neat in appearance.
The usual consecration and opening services took place on Saturday last, and were largely attended by the Catholic gentry of the neighbourhood and surrounding towns. We understand that the cost of the work has for the most part been borne by the Marquis de Lys, the owner of the estate on which the Chapel stands.'
Writing in Gloucestershire and Avon Life Bryan Little added 'It was formally opened on St Joseph's Day, 19th March, 1870, and as Bishop Clifford of Clifton was absent at the first Vatican Council, his Vicar General, Mgr. Bonomi, performed the ceremony.' Although the provision of the little church on the Mythe is normally attributed to the generosity of the Marquis de Lys it was made possible by the substantial legacy of his father-in-law, Charles Porter.
Charles and Elizabeth Porter are buried under a fine memorial under the trees behind the altar of St Benet's Church in Kemerton but their memorial in Tewkesbury is the beautifully restored Monstrance which was given in memory of Elizabeth Porter and is the tangible link for the parishioners of the present St Joseph's Church, which stands in the heart of the Borough of Tewkesbury.

Well, What a Coincidence! – Living links with Charles Porter
The late Lez Hough, in his article on the Mythe Mission, offered readers valuable pen portraits of the descendents of Charles and Eliza Porter into the next generation. Of their three daughters and one son, only the youngest child was to have issue. This child, Mary Catherine Porter (1835-1906), married Captain Frederic Gerard in 1869 and their only daughter, Edith Mary Catherine Gerard (1870-1948), in turn married Edward Charles Riddell in 1896.
Edward Charles owned two Riddell family properties, namely Hermeston Hall at Oldcotes near Worksop and Hodsock Park in Nottinghamshire. Eventually his wife, Edith, was to inherit her own father's house, Kinwarton House near Alcester in Warwickshire, and also the Porter property at the Mythe, which was leased to tenants. Edith Riddell died on July 27th 1948 but from as early as 1940 the list of Foundation Masses of Obligation for St Joseph's Tewkesbury included one Mass for Edward Riddell and one for Mrs. E. Riddell.
Edward and Edith Riddell had five children – Arthur Frederic, Ralph Gerard, Grace Mary, Cuthbert Edward ('Cuppy'), and the youngest, Olive Mary. The two elder Riddells were bachelors but the youngest son married and his son-in-law, Patrick, was a son of Airey Neave. Olive Riddell married Arthur Wilberforce and her son, Gerard was ordained and serves as a priest in Plymouth diocese. He wrote this year:
'The Porters were probably not very grand but had the one thing important. money! I have a travelling trunk all set out for the silver. My mother had most of it and some I have still. It has a brass plate – "Miss Porter". The coats of arms of all the families that the Riddells married into are in the stained glass of the original dining room at Kinwarton… Uncle Ralph sold that house before the estate passed to me. But the glass is still there and worth having a look at'
Speaking of Charles Porter's property at the Mythe, he added:
'I know it well and a lovely house it is too. I think we should have kept it and sold the more dull houses that the siblings were left…'
The elder daughter of Edward and Edith Riddell was Grace Mary (1902-1993) of Hermeston Hall who married Henry Pain. In 1948 she inherited the Porter property at the Mythe from her mother's estate but eventually sold it to her niece Valerie Townsend who, in turn, sold it to a dentist. Here is the coincidence Grace Mary Pain was the Godmother of our committee member Philippa Hunter and her father Edward Charles Riddell was a third cousin of Philippa's father!
Some photographs of the property at The Mythe including the former St Joseph's Church when it was still being used as a workshop:-

One comment on "Porter Family of the Mythe"
Information kindly supplied by George Liakos:
Thomas Porter and Frances Wakeman:
Thomas was born in 1731, but not sure where. The earliest entry I have for him is a 1771 indenture when he was living in Ackhurst Orrell. In 1789 a lease for some Orrell collieries to his brother among others. By then he had moved to Souldern in Oxford acting as an Agent for the Cox and Fermor families.
In 1786 while living in Susmore Oxford he marries Frances Wakeman in Beckford, he at the time being 55 and she 36.
'June 13th (1786) Thomas Porter of Susmore in the County of Oxford and Frances Wakeman of Beckford in ye County of Gloster' (Beckford Register)
In 1798 he owns numerous properties in The Mythe as noted in the Land tax. 'Thomas Porter Esqr. The Mythe near Tewkesbury'(sic) was buried at Beckford on 30th August 1813, aged eighty-two-years, and Frances died in 1815 and was also buried in Beckford.
'Frances Porter The Mythe near Tewksbury 1815 August 26th 65 years' (Beckford Register)
Thomas Porter left a will.
Reading between the lines, I'd say that he was a self made man, making his fortune from coal in the Orrell area. He married late in life, hence no children, and happy to live as a country Squire. The Porters were certainly Catholic, either by birth or conversion, and probably came from Lancashire. As for Souldern, Thomas was staying at Souldern Manor, the property of Colonel Cox.

A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler's passport, a travel document issued by the traveler's country of citizenship.
Certain international travelers may be eligible to travel to the United States without a visa if they meet the requirements for visa-free travel. The Visa section of this website is all about U.S. visas for foreign citizens to travel to the United States.
(Note: U.S. citizens don't need a U.S. visa for travel, but when planning travel abroad may need a visa issued by the embassy of the country they wish to visit.).
USCIS Fact Sheet- Status of the Citizens of the Republic of Palau
USCIS Fact Sheet – Status of the Citizens of the Republic of Palau (PDF 76 KB)
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Verification Division, MS 2600
131 M Street, N.E., Suite 200 Washington, DC 20529-2600
Status of Citizens of the Republic of Palau
The Republic of Palau (Palau) is a sovereign nation located in the western Pacific Ocean, between Guam and the Philippines. The Compact of Free Association Approval Act (Public Law 99-658, Nov. 14, 1986) approved a joint resolution between the United States and Palau to terminate the United States trusteeship over the former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) and establish Palau as a sovereign nation with a special relationship with the United States. The Compact of Free Association between the United States and Palau took effect on Oct. 1, 1994.
Note: The United States also has Compacts of Free Association with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). As the Compacts with the RMI and FSM contain different provisions relating to immigration status than the Compact with Palau, this fact sheet applies only to Palau, and should not be used for any informational purpose regarding citizens of the FSM and the RMI. For information on the FSM and the RMI, see the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Fact Sheet entitled "Status of Citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands" (Nov. 03, 2015).
Citizenship Status
Citizens of Palau are not citizens or nationals of the United States.
Travel of Citizens of Palau to the United States
Citizens of Palau by birth, and citizens of the former TTPI who acquired Palau citizenship in 1994, are entitled under the Compact to travel and apply for admission to the United States as nonimmigrants without visas. However, admission to the United States is not guaranteed. Most grounds of inadmissibility under United States immigration laws, such as criminal convictions, are applicable.
If determined admissible under the Compact, citizens of Palau may live, study and work in the United States. They are granted an indefinite length of stay.
Classes of Citizens Who May Exercise Compact Privileges
In addition to citizens of Palau by birth and former TTPI citizens, naturalized citizens of Palau who have been actual residents of Palau for not less than five years after naturalization with a certificate of actual residence may exercise privileges under the Compact.
Compact privileges apply only to Palauan citizens; they do not apply to non-Palauan-citizen husbands, wives, and children of Palauan citizens. These non-Palauans must apply for admission under the provisions of U.S. immigration law that apply to their nationality and U.S. immigration status sought, and if also required, a United States visa.
For employment eligibility or other purposes, once admitted into the United States under the Compact it does not matter whether the person is a citizen of Palau by birth, former TTPI citizen, or a naturalized citizen of Palau who is eligible for admission as a nonimmigrant under the Compact.
To gain admission to the United States under the Compacts, a citizen of Palau must possess a valid, unexpired Palauan passport. Those applying for admission under the Compacts do not need a U.S. visa, or any other travel documentation.
Individuals seeking admission under the Compact (particularly those who are not citizens of
Palau by birth or former TTPI citizens) should bring copies of any relevant documentation or other available evidence (such as certificate of residency or evidence of naturalization) that may assist them in demonstrating their eligibility for admission under the Compact to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the port of entry.
Documentation of Admission to the United States
After arriving at a U.S. port of entry, Palauan citizens will receive admission stamps in their passports upon admission by CBP to the United States under the Compact. The admission stamp will reflect that the admission relates to the Compact.
The exact notation may vary and is subject to change, but at the present time it typically states "CFA/PAL" (Compact of Free Association/Palau).
CBP also issues Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, to nonimmigrants, such as Palauan citizens, upon their admission to the United States effective April 30, 2013; CBP began automating Form I-94 for travelers arriving in the United States through air and sea ports of entry. Form I-94 is now created electronically upon arrival. This means that CBP will no longer automatically hand paper Forms I-94 to Palauan citizens upon admission at air and sea ports of entry. Instead, Palauan travelers can obtain a paper version of their Form I-94 by logging on to CBP's website (www.cbp.gov/I94) using identifying information and then printing the form. Both initial and replacement Forms I-94 may be obtained through CBP's website.
CBP will still issue paper versions of Form I-94 at air and sea ports of entry to those travelers who request paper versions at the time of their arrival to the United States. These paper Forms I-94 will contain an admission stamp, but will not have an "admit until" date. However, Forms I-94 obtained from the CBP website will show an "admitted until" date of D/S (duration of status).
The 11-digit admission/departure number on Form I-94 takes the place of the alien registration number (A-number) for those admitted under the Compact who are not otherwise assigned an A-number. A person admitted under the Compact should provide this Form I-94 number in place of an A-number in response to any official requests.
Either a printed Form I-94 or the admission stamp in the Palauan passport is evidence of alien registration. All foreign visitors to the United States over the age of 18 (including Palauan citizens) are required under penalty of law to have this evidence in their personal possession at all times.
Terms and Conditions of Admission
Persons admitted under the Compact must abide by any terms and conditions of admission prescribed by the Department of Homeland Security, and must obey the laws of the United States and of the state and locality in which they reside or are present.
The grounds of removability that generally apply to foreign nationals in the United States, such as conviction for an aggravated felony, apply to persons admitted under the Compact.
Admission Under the INA and Lawful Permanent Residence
Palauan citizens admitted to the United States under the Compact may reside, work and study in the United States. They do not have the status of lawful permanent residents (also known as Green Card holders) under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Palauan citizens admitted to the United States under the Compact may become lawful permanent residents, however, if they are otherwise eligible under immigration laws, either through the immigrant visa process or by adjustment of status within the United States. People generally must be granted lawful permanent resident status in the United States before they can apply for naturalization as a U.S. citizen.
In certain circumstances, Palauan citizens or residents who are not eligible for admission without a visa as nonimmigrants under the Compacts may be able to apply for a nonimmigrant or immigrant visa under the immigration laws generally applicable to all foreign nationals. A U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate can provide visa information. Visa information is also available from the U.S. Department of State at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english.html.
Employment Authorization and Documentation
Palauan citizens admitted under the Compacts may freely seek employment in the United States. However, like other employees working in the United States, they will be required by their employers at the time of hire to complete an attestation regarding their employment authorization and present document(s) showing identity and employment authorization for completing Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. To satisfy the document presentation requirement, employees may choose a document or combination of documents listed on Form I-9, in the section "Lists of Acceptable Documents."
One document listed in the section "Lists of Acceptable Documents" that is available to citizens of Palau upon request from USCIS is Form I-766, Employment Authorization Document (EAD). While under the Compact, citizens of Palau do not need to apply for, possess or renew an EAD, though they are strongly encouraged to apply for one by completing Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. The EAD is issued to them free of charge and, in addition to serving as evidence of both identity and employment authorization, it is very useful in applying for a driver's license or other situations where secure U.S. government-issued evidence of identity or immigration status may be requested.
Note that an unexpired Palauan passport with an unexpired Form I-94 does not establish identity and employment authorization for Form I-9 purposes.
All requirements and procedures relating to Form I-9, and the employer sanctions laws, apply to Palauan citizens in the same manner as to other employees in the United States.
A person admitted under the Compact may obtain a Social Security number (SSN) and Social Security card from the Social Security Administration. A Palauan citizen who has been admitted under the Compact is issued a Social Security card without the statement, "Valid for Work Only with DHS Authorization." For Form I-9 purposes, this is a "List C" document that a Palauan citizen can show his or her employer as evidence of employment authorization (but not identity).
The Social Security card must be obtained in the United States from the Social Security Administration. It cannot be issued by the U.S. Embassy in Palau.
Under section 341 of the Compacts, Palauan citizens entitled to admission to the United States under the Compact are eligible to volunteer for service in the U.S. armed forces.
Visa Requirements for Palauan Diplomats
Palauan citizens coming to the United States to assume diplomatic duties or to work at an international organization must obtain the appropriate nonimmigrant visa in "A" or "G" classification in order for their official status to be recognized by the United States. The Department of State also strongly encourages other Palauan citizens to have a visa if they are coming to the United States to engage in official activities on behalf of their government.
U.S. Consular Assistance Abroad
Under section 126 of the Compact, the United States extends consular assistance to citizens of Palau in foreign countries on the same basis as for U.S. citizens, subject to the consent of the foreign country.
U.S. Consular officers also help Palauan citizens extend and renew their Palauan passports. These services are available when Palau has no diplomatic or consular representation in a foreign country.

2 QUESTIONS

*

*Whats this sonar_lock file, why is it created? I've a succeded build where this file is not on the log.

*I'm sure I'm using MSbuild 14, why am I still getting this message about MSbuild 12?
Any help? Thanks in advance :)

A: Answer 1 Lock file is used too see if it is running already (avoiding two simultaneous runs as second will fail)
In this case log message is saying that file doesn't exist so it cannot be deleted (as expected on a first run) with a message that might be improved as it should say something like Cannot find lock file, creating it... (Sounds a bug in Sonar code). As you can see the message is DEBUG level so seems not important if build is successful.
If I were you I would change Sonar verbosity level to something higher that doesn't show DEBUG.
Answer 2 I would need the full log to help here. Not sure if it is a generic "Warn" message from Sonar or if Sonar is really detecting  MSBuild 12. Could you publish full log?


The exhaust header for all the new MINI's from BMW have the catalytic converter built into them. The replacement of the original stock header with any aftermarket header is limited by the Federal Clean Air act, as outlined below. Thus it must be understood that replacing a stock header with one from any aftermarket supplier, even those with catalytic converters, can only be done if intended for off-road use only.
3. If the vehicle is over five (5) years old, or has more than 50,000 miles, or eight (8) years old or 80,000 miles for 1995 and newer model vehicles, AND a legitimate need for replacement has been established and documented.* This situation normally would include only plugged converters or those damaged to the point where unrepairable exhaust leaks are present. See * DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS below.
Catalytic converters are emission control devices which are designed to last the life of the vehicle and do not normally require replacement. Furthermore, if the vehicle is properly used and maintained, original converters are covered by the emissions control warranty for 5 years/50,000 miles, or 8 years/80,000 miles for 1995 and newer models. Federal law prohibits any person from replacing these devices except under limited circumstances (listed above).
In order to establish and document that the circumstances permitting replacement of an original or missing converter with an aftermarket converter meeting the required performance criteria exist, the Installer must complete the INSTALLER'S WARRANTY SHEET. The installer and the vehicle owner must sign the statement establishing and documenting catalytic converter replacement justification.
- A copy of the completed warranty sheet must be attached to the invoice and retained by the installer for six (6) months.
- Also, the replaced converter(s), if any, must be retained by the installer for at least fifteen (15) days from the date of installation.
- The installer must install each replacement catalytic converter according to EPA policy, as described in the INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.

Q: Translation in form placeholder Using symfony2.1.
I do build a form in Form/RegisterUser.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
    $builder->add(
        'email',
        'email',
        array('attr' => array('placeholder' => 'email.placeholder')));
    $builder->add(
        'password',
        'repeated',
        array(
            'first_name' => 'password',
            'second_name' => 'confirm',
            'type' => 'password',
            'invalid_message' => 'register.password.repeat', ));
    $builder->add("t_and_c", "checkbox", array("mapped" => false, ));

    // "True" validator on the form for t&c
    $builder->addValidator(new CallbackValidator( function(FormInterface $form) {
        if (!$form["t_and_c"]->getData()) {
            $form->addError(new FormError('Please accept the terms and conditions in order to register'));
        }
    }));
}

/**

 * @param array $options
 * @return array The default options
 */
public function getDefaultOptions(array $options) {
    return array('data_class' => 'Frontend\AccountBundle\Entity\User');
}

And in app/Ressources/translation/validators.LANG.yml:
<trans-unit id="6">
    <source>email.placeholder</source>
    <target>Enter email.</target>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="12">
    <source>register.password.repeat</source>
    <target>Passwords don't match.</target>
</trans-unit>

The field invalid_message is going to be translated but not the field email.placeholder. Is there a bug? I don't usw twig and do a normal render.

A: Translated error messages go into your validators.LANG.yml like you did right.
But everything else needs to go into your messages.LANG.yml.
Also I'm a bit confused by how you are formatting your yml. Normally you write it like this:
email:
    placeholder: Enter email.

register:
    password:
        repeat: Passwords don't match

Tim Cook renews opposition to 'cancerous' FBI encryption assistance
By John Glenday-25 February 2016 10:10am
Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to US national television to outline his stance against assisting the FBI in their efforts to decrypt an iPhone owned by a suspected terrorist behind the San Bernardino shootings in California, in which 14 people were killed.
Speaking to ABC News Cook said that families of the bereaved had 'our deepest sympathy' but reiterated his opposition to assisting the FBI in their investigation, warning that it 'could expose people to incredible vulnerabilities'.
Cook asserted that to comply with a recent court order to break security encryption on its iPhones would require it to write software that he likened to a 'cancer', saying: "The only way we know would be to write a piece of software that we view as sort of the software equivalent of cancer. We think it's bad news to write. We would never write it. We have never written it."
The Apple CEO also criticised a reported blunder made by the FBI in resetting the account's Apple ID password, which rendered accessing the phones last iCloud back-up impossible, saying that investigators had failed to seek assistance in advance and had given it very little notice of the court order.
