Une magnéto d'allumage est une génératrice transformant l'énergie mécanique issue de la rotation du moteur en énergie électrique par l'intermédiaire d'un aimant fixe dans lequel tourne une bobine. Elle reprend le principe proposé par André-Marie Ampère vers 1830, puis perfectionné au cours du .

Dans le domaine automobile, le courant électrique produit permet de créer une étincelle dans la chambre de combustion qui enflamme le mélange air-essence d'un moteur à allumage commandé.

Il a existé d'autres types de magnétos utilisant le même principe (aimant et bobine),
notamment
 en téléphonie analogique dite « à batterie locale » :
 fixe pour créer un signal électrique permettant d'alerter une opératrice....
 de campagne (installations ferroviaires ou militaires temporaires).
 en pyrotechnie ou dynamitage (pour allumer la poudre noire)

Utilisation actuelle

Utilisées dans les automobiles pour produire l'étincelle indispensable pour enflammer le carburant (dans le cas de l'essence), les magnétos sont aujourd'hui utilisées pour tester les bougies et pour faire fonctionner les vieux moteurs agricoles (exemple : moteur Bernard) ou les voitures de collection ainsi que les cyclomoteurs.

Sur les moteurs d'avion à pistons, les magnétos sont encore majoritairement montées en série. Dans ce cas précis, elles sont généralement au nombre de deux pour assurer une redondance en cas de panne. Les magnétos sont principalement utilisées sur les moteurs d'avion à quatre temps.

Historique et principe de fonctionnement

La production d'une étincelle dans le mélange gazeux air-carburant nécessite une tension élevée (environ  en pratique) : un arc électrique s'établit alors brièvement entre les électrodes de la bougie d'allumage et enflamme le mélange air-carburant.

Dans son principe premier, la magnéto récupère l'énergie de rotation du moteur pour produire l'énergie électrique avec une basse tension, alimentant un dispositif créant une étincelle par un rupteur situé au niveau du cylindre.

Dès 1884, l'inventeur Fernand Forest crée la première magnéto basse tension.

En 1900, est mise au point la première magnéto « intégrée » produisant une tension suffisante pour alimenter l'allumage. Elle a dû être perfectionnée ensuite pour être réellement utilisable, puis a été supplantée par la bobine d'allumage dans les années 1920, elle-même abandonnée depuis au profit de l'allumage électronique.

Dans sa version aboutie, la magnéto est constituée de :
– un inducteur (aimant fixe ou « stator ») ;
– un induit, qui produit le courant comprenant un bobinage primaire et un secondaire
– un condensateur ;
– un rupteur, voire un distributeur.

La tension nécessaire à la production de l'étincelle est obtenue par le processus suivant :
 Le moteur à combustion entraîne dans sa rotation le rotor (ou induit) de la magnéto. Celui-ci, en rotation entre les pôles d'aimants permanents, induit un courant électrique alternatif sinusoidal dans le bobinage primaire (c'est la magnéto « de base »).
 Le rupteur coupe brutalement le courant lorsque celui-ci est maximal. Il s'ensuit dans le circuit primaire un courant d'auto-induction de même sens que celui qui vient d'être coupé, mais à haute tension.
 Le condensateur (inclus à la magneto, en parallèle du circuit primaire) absorbe rapidement ce courant, évitant la dispersion de l'énergie par une étincelle dans le rupteur, qui provoquerait son usure très rapidement : c'est notamment l'absence de condensateur qui a ralenti le développement de la magnéto au .
 Le bobinage secondaire, relié en série avec le bobinage primaire, subit simultanément la même élévation du potentiel électrique (d'autant plus élevée que la rupture est brutale grâce au condensateur). C'est le courant de ce circuit qui est acheminé jusqu'au distributeur, et permet d'alimenter successivement les allumeurs du moteur (bougies).

Q: Unity / Cloned Enemies don't work as intended / C# I have a terrain with two enemies that I placed and a plane that I have given a script to spawn enemies continuously (basically wave defence without towers)
The two enemies I placed work as intended, killing them will give experience and coming into contact with them cost the player some health.
But the ones spawned by my scripted plane don't grant experience on a kill, the only reason they do health damage on contact is because I set the collision to look for a tag of "Enemy" which they have.
# THE SCRIPT FOR THE ENEMY-SPAWNING PLANE

IEnumerator Spawner()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(startWait);

    while(!stop)
    {
        randEnemy = Random.Range(0, 2);
        Vector3 spawnPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range(-spawnValues.x, spawnValues.x), 2, Random.Range(-spawnValues.z, spawnValues.z));

        Instantiate(enemies[randEnemy], spawnPosition + transform.TransformPoint(0, 0, 0), gameObject.transform.rotation);

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(spawnWait);
    }
}

# THE SCRIPT WHICH CALLS FOR EXPERIENCE TO BE GIVEN (Enemy as GameObject)

void Dead()
{
    _characterXP.GainExp(120);
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

# THE SCRIPT WHICH GIVES THE PLAYER EXPERIENCE (CharacterXP as GameObject)

public void GainExp(float expThatWasGained)
{
    CurrentExp += expThatWasGained;
}

I'm still pretty new to Unity and C# so if there is anything else that's needed I can provide it, I have checked all relevant objects to make sure the relevant things are connected correctly, and if they didn't work then it would affect the original enemies, the issue is only in regards to the spawned enemies that get named ENEMY(Clone)

EDIT

The Prefab ^

The Pre-Spawned Enemy Mid-Game^

The Clone Enemy Mid-Game^

A: You cannot assign scene objects to prefab property fields. You can only assign other prefab (or assets) into the prefab property slots.
To assign a scene object to your enemy script, you need to find it at runtime.
In your enemy's Start method, find the fpscontroller
void Start()
{
    _characterXP = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<FPSController>();
}

I think this will solve your problem

A:
Not the most intelligent way of doing this, but I was on a tight schedule and the method works.
I created two prisons outside of the playable area and put one of each enemy inside of it and then referred to these two trapped individuals in my Monster Spawner (The Plane) instead of the prefabs and now I gain the right amount of exp per kill.

Just to be clear: There is NO voter ID law UPDATE: Even Mark Martin now gets it
Some confusing and inaccurate statements by Secretary of State Mark Martin and his office staff have prompted a clarifying statement from Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's office on yesterday's Supreme Court ruling that invalidated the state voter ID law.
The Court's decision yesterday makes it clear that the voter ID law is invalid and does not apply to the upcoming election. All ballots, including absentee ballots, should be handled in the manner they were before the law was enacted.
Some clerks have asked about the requirement for first-time voters. After this decision, there are now no circumstances which absolutely require a photo ID in order to vote. Some first-time voters will need to provide some type of identification, but there are alternatives to providing a photo ID.
The second paragraph corrects and clarifies a statement sent to county officials by Mark Martin's office. It said that ALL first-time voters would be expected to provide an photo ID. As I reported earlier today, the Constitution provides for production of some type of ID by first-time voters who registered by mail without including an ID. But it is not a blanket requirement nor does it require the type of ID specified in the now defunct 2013 voter ID law.
Other election officials have provided Martin's office with the correct information. Whether he will issue a corrective or not is not known.
Early voting begins Monday. I again invite anyone denied a ballot or made to file a provisional ballot after being asked to produce a photo ID to write me or the ACLU with specifics of your encounter. Somebody will be flouting the law in such a case.
Martin had also been quoted as saying he'd defend the law to "the fullest extent possible." There is no way to defend a non-existent law except to ignore a court ruling. Martin apparently has bowed to judicial supremacy in the matter.
UPDATE: Mark Martin has bowed to the law. His office issued this statement:
Supreme Court Rules Photo ID Not Required At the Polls
Secretary of State Mark Martin announces as of October 16, 2014, 4:39 p.m. Voters are no longer required to provide "proof of identity"(photo ID) in order to vote in person in the General Election. The law reverts back to the previous statute that existed prior to Act 595. Further, poll workers are still required by law to ask for identification; however, voters are not required to provide identification in order to vote.
Before the passage of the Voter ID law, state and federal law required first time voters to provide identification. Voters who register to vote by mail and fail to include valid identification will be required to provide identification at the polls.
For those First Time Voters, examples of identification required are: a valid photo id or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter.
Arkansas Supreme Court struck down the challenged parts of Act 595, otherwise known as the Voter ID law. Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 595 on April 1, 2013, which required Arkansas residents to provide "proof of identity" when voting at the polls.
Please keep in mind, Arkansas has "fail safe voting" in place: voters can vote a Provisional Ballot at the polls if any problems or discrepancies should arise. County Board of Election Commissioners will notify voters of their appointment time to provide any additional information in order for their vote to count.
We will continue to review and further clarify the ruling as time permits.

DCMS launches consultation on digital identities
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has begun a consultation on digital identities and announced plans for a pilot project on identity checks.
It has published a call for evidence, open until 15 September, which involves a series of questions on needs and problems, criteria for trust, and the roles of government and the private sector.
This comes with a prediction that unlocking the value of digital identity could add 3% to UK GDP by 2030, but also raises further questions about the future of GOV.UK Verify, the service developed by the Government Digital Service (GDS) for online identity authentication for public sector services.
Digital Secretary Jeremy Wright (pictured) said: "We are determined to cement Britain's place as a world leading digital economy by creating a regulatory environment which works for consumers, citizens and businesses.
"These new proposals could make it easier for people to prove their identity without compromising their personal information and for businesses to conduct checks in a safe and secure way.
"This will help make sure more and more people benefit from the huge potential of technology and can use it to shop, bank and access government services."
Different levels
Among the points raised in the consultation document is an acknowledgement that different services require different levels of identity proofing, and the benefits are not restricted to online transactions. For example, people could prove their age through a smartphone app for face-to-face transactions.
It says DCMS wants to gather evidence on how government and the private sector can support digital identity solutions, encourage innovation and ensure people will trust the way their identities are used. This includes how government should check the validity of documents or attributes while ensuring it is only done with the individual's active consent and control.
The document makes only a passing reference to Verify as one of a number of government services in the field. Its take-up has been disappointing since it went live in 2016 and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority has given it a red rating in its new annual report on major government projects.
DCMS declined to comment on how it relates to the consultation; but the announcement included a statement from Oliver Dowden, the Cabinet Office minister who oversees (GDS) which developed Verify.
"We are committed to delivering a thriving digital identity market that allows people to access more government and private sector services online safely and securely," he said.
"Last October I announced that the GOV.UK Verify programme is mature enough to move to the next phase of its development, in which the private sector takes on responsibility for broadening the usage and application of digital identity in the UK. Allowing organisations greater flexibility to reuse identities is an important step towards this goal."
It is also notable that the Cabinet Office recently set up a Digital Identity Unit to work on delivering the outcome of the consultation.
Pilot plan
DCMS added that a pilot scheme will begin with companies that currently provide digital identity services to government, with the Post Office, Barclays, Experian, Secure Identity and Digidentity cited as possible participants. It is set to conclude by April 2021.
It will be aimed at helping people speed up their applications for services,for example applying for a credit card, by allowing organisations to digitally check their identity using British passport data, where they have used this to register for government services.
Individuals applying to access selected services online could have their identity verified this way if they choose to. The scheme will then be opened up to a small cohort of additional private sector companies for use across a range of services.
No organisation would be given access to government-held data under these proposals, identity providers would simply get a yes or no as to whether the document was validly issued, and no personal data not already provided by the individual would be used or shared.
Any new solutions will be compliant with recently strengthened data protection laws and set out requirements for the secure transfer of data. There will be no central identity database and individuals will be in control of their personal data.
The pilot scheme will also test if there is a market for these new types of digital identity checking services.

Executive support requires demystifying the cyber security message
Cyber Governance, Cyber Threats, Cybersecurity / By Phil Zongo / August 20, 2020 July 14, 2022
Executive support matters now more than ever
History has taught us that senior business officers are ultimately held accountable for managing vital business risks. High profile examples abound. In 2006 Jeffrey Skilling received a 24-year prison sentence following Enron's massive accounting scandal and ensuing bankruptcy. In 2010 Tony Hayward was dismissed from BP following the drilling rig disaster that extensively contaminated the Gulf of Mexico. Then in 2014, Gregg Steinhafel resigned as the CEO of Target after the massive data breach fallout.
Cyber security has become a crucial and broad business issue with far-reaching strategic, operational, and regulatory impacts. Accordingly, boards of directors and executive management can no longer afford to completely delegate cyber risk to middle management.
Executive leadership over this potent risk matters now more than ever. And this is not just about protecting their careers. It's essentially about fulfilling their core mandate: Providing strong leadership support and rigorous checks and balances to ensure their organisations create and sustain long-term shareholder value.
The stakes couldn't be any higher; cyber crime is costing the global economy more than $USD 500 billion annually, and the costs are soaring. This is bigger than the gross domestic product of 82 combined economies. And If Mckinsey got it right, cyber security risk will cost the global economy as much as $3 trillion by 2020 from delayed technological innovations such as big data and mobility[i].
No individual, business or civilian institution is immune to this risk. Cyber-criminals have targeted energy companies with meticulous precision, paralysing critical infrastructure and sending thousands of households into darkness. These malefactors have also crippled central heating systems, forcing occupants to endure terribly cold Scandinavian nights. They have also crept into high-tech firms undetected, and swiped high-value intellectual property worth billions of dollars, which took years of research to develop.
Long story short, the bad guys have virtually hacked into any system connected to the internet. In fact, not a week passes without another mammoth cyber attack making the headlines.
The ides of March
"Beware the Ides of March," a soothsayer warned Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's tragic play. The soothsayer's message was consequential. A group of conspirators, including Brutus and Cassius, would assassinate the Roman ruler on March 15, in the year 44 BC – and Caesar had better be on guard. But this important message was shrouded in obscurity. Accordingly, Caesar sarcastically dismissed the soothsayer, declaring, "He is a dreamer; let us leave him." The ides of March would indeed be a terrible day for Caesar, he was stabbed 23 times.
Boards of directors now widely appreciate the significance of cyber risk, and are seeking deeper insight into cyber security issues and their business implications. Supporting this view, the 2016 PwC's Annual Corporate Directors Survey revealed that 65% of public company directors want additional time and focus on IT risks like cybersecurity. These results prove that those charged with governance are genuinely keen to play their part.
But despite the significance of the cyber security message and growing enthusiasm from senior executives, a serious obstacle exists. Like the soothsayer in Shakespeare's play, cyber security professionals often provide highly ambiguous cyber security reports, accompanied by low level, detailed metrics to senior business executives. This leaves them frustrated or unclear about key threats targeting their businesses, strength of existing defences or required investments. Most business leaders have long perceived cyber-security as too complex. The excessive use of security jargon – some unfathomable even to other technology professionals - further reinforces their opinion.
A wide range of cyber security metrics now exists, including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threat intelligence, but translating these into useful knowledge for business leaders remains a significant challenge. No wonder that 91% of the directors polled by NASDAQ and security firm Tanium in 2016 conceded that they don't understand cyber-security reports.
Closing the expectations gap
To address this enduring challenge, we should raise our game, move away from numbing cyber security vocabulary, and learn to speak the language of the business. Boards of directors have very limited time at their disposal, and are not comfortable discussing ISO 27 001 or NIST standards. Rather, they are concerned about how cyber risk will impact new product success, business growth, cost of capital, innovation, customer trust, profitability, or other crucial business priorities.
Tightly linking cyber risk to corporate objectives requires an in-depth understanding of business operations, value chain, strategic priorities, risk appetite and regulatory environment. Another approach is developing provocative story telling skills to bring the cyber-security subject to life, and persuade the board and executive management into action. Risk maps and detailed metrics are not enough, as Harrison Monarth wrote in the Harvard Business Review (HBR), "data can persuade people, but it doesn't inspire them to act; to do that, you need to wrap your vision in a story that fires the imagination and stirs the soul".
Executive engagement in cyber security has never been so imperative. And this is more than just spending millions of dollars on new technologies. Effective leadership includes role modelling, active participation in cyber drills and holding managers accountable for maintaining robust cyber security controls. It also requires business leaders to embed cyber security into vital business processes, such as product development or acquisitions.
For long, we have advocated for greater business visibility and influence. But we also need to play our part, particularly by articulating this crucial business risk in ways the business can understand and relate to.

Yesterday Scholarship at Curtis Brown Creative
I'm absolutely delighted to be offering the Yesterday Scholarship (at Curtis Brown Creative) to a deserving writer from a less-privileged background.
All my studies, from pre-university studies in Singapore to doctoral studies at Cambridge, were funded by scholarships and generosity. Neither of my parents have been to university, nor could they afford to pay for my studies abroad. I grew up in a tiny home in Kuala Lumpur, my dad's car had holes in its base and water would come in whenever he drove through a puddle. I understand just how difficult it is to make a leap, coming from a less-privileged background.
A kind benefactor made it possible for me to study at Imperial College London, thereby opening the door to eventual postgraduate degrees at Cambridge. He contacted me back in 2002, saying that he was willing to sponsor my studies because he felt that I deserved a chance to do what I wanted. He also felt that I had the will and ability to push for it. The only thing he asked in return was that I would, if possible, do something similar for another equally dedicated student in the future. I'm merely keeping the promise I made to him fifteen years ago.
As my benefactor insists on remaining anonymous, I decided to name the scholarship after my book (for want of a better name). My debut thriller Yesterday is set in Cambridge and is about a murder that takes place in a world where most people only remember yesterday. I would have never written the book if I didn't spend twelve years in Cambridge.
Someone with a generous heart made a real difference to my life fifteen years ago, opened the path for me to eventually write Yesterday. In keeping with the wonderful principle of paying forward, I would love to do the same today (albeit in a very small way) for a writing star of tomorrow.

The Future Bookshelf
I'm delighted to be supporting the wonderful Future Bookshelf initiative. Here are some of my contributions to the project:
1. How Do I Write in My Chosen Genre?
I trust my instincts when it comes to crafting layers of suspense. Where to start or end each chapter, for instance.
I also read a lot of psychological thrillers, suspense novels and police procedurals before I began writing Yesterday (a high-concept thriller about a murder which happens in a world where most people only remember yesterday, a novel that spans all three genres). I believe that you can only challenge or break the rules of each genre when you know what they are. Yet writing also involves research. Most experts are incredibly helpful and generous with their time, if you ask for advice politely. My contact in the Metropolitan Police, for example, sent back ten pages of brilliant suggestions.
2. How Do I Start Writing?
By being curious and determined. My debut thriller Yesterday is about the question 'how do you solve a murder when you can only remember yesterday?'. The concept came to me when I was travelling to a ballroom dance practice in late 2014. The premise was so intriguing, I started writing the next day. It became an exciting adventure, one which prompted me to reach for my laptop each morning. I was determined to find out if the question could be answered in an entertaining way, in the form of a story which kept me hooked myself. Curiosity and a sense of adventure help writers get new projects off the ground. They make us want to start.

My Magical Moment in Montserrat
My agents submitted my debut thriller Yesterday to publishers on both sides of the Atlantic on the day I reached my 100th country.
My journey began with a simple question that struck me on the way to a ballroom dance practice in late 2014: "How do you solve a murder when you can only remember yesterday?" The concept was so compelling, I spent most of the session working out the mechanics of this murder (much to the consternation of my dance partner). I began writing the next day. Characters wandered onto my screen and did perplexing things. I learnt to trust them, to follow the paths they took.
Fifteen months and lots of hard work later, my thriller was ready to go. I had spent almost the whole night editing; I could barely keep my eyes open. I sent the manuscript off at 7 a.m. because I had a boat to catch. The relief which flooded me was mingled with fear: what if all the publishers hated the manuscript?
But things were out of my hands, now. All I could do was hope.
I got on the ferry to Montserrat. It was a roller coaster of a ride, the bumpiest I had ever experienced. My face was a nice shade of green when I arrived. I staggered onto land, scrawled "My 100th Country" on the sand, took a photo and collapsed face-down.
It hit me later that day: I would have never written Yesterday if not for my travels. Study and work had led me abroad from a young age. I left Kuala Lumpur for Singapore after receiving a scholarship at the age of seventeen. I was nineteen when my first employer dispatched me from Singapore to Ireland to write a newspaper review of Riverdance.
Travel, I realised, helps us appreciate universal truths about the human condition; the deep fears which preoccupy all of us, no matter where we live. Much of Montserrat was wiped out by a series of volcanic eruptions; its capital Plymouth is now a ghost town, its ruins epitomising fear and loss. The fear of loss is real. The fear of forgetting is omnipresent. The desire to remember is one of the things that makes us human, no matter where we are. This is precisely what Yesterday explores: are we still capable of love if we can only remember yesterday?
Here's the photo. I had always wanted to visit a hundred countries. I had long dreamt of Submission Day. A writer's journey is an endless series of peaks and troughs. There are seconds of sweet satisfaction as one passes yearned-for milestones along the way. I hope never to forget that magical moment in Montserrat.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is definately one of those songs that deserve a 5 star rating. It is arguably Queen's most iconic song.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most influential and iconic songs in all of rock music.
Young musicians recreate Bohemian Rhapsody note for note in a stellar performance. This is truly a sight and sound to behold.

Local population structure of a naturally occurring metapopulation of the quokka (Setonix brachyurus Macropodidae: Marsupialia)
Published source details Hayward M.W., Paul J., Dillon M.J. & Fox B.J. (2003) Local population structure of a naturally occurring metapopulation of the quokka (Setonix brachyurus Macropodidae: Marsupialia). Biological Conservation, 110, 343-355
Remove/control non-native mammals
A replicated, site comparison study (year not stated) in eight swamp shrubland sites in Western Australia, Australia (Hayward et al. 2003) found that controlling non-native red foxes Vulpes vulpes had mixed effects on quokka Setonix brachyurus populations. Results were not tested for statistical significance. In 10 of 15 comparisons, sites where foxes were controlled had higher quokka densities than did areas where foxes were not controlled (0.1–4.3 vs 0 quokkas/ha). In five of 15 comparisons, there were fewer or equal numbers of quokkas in fox-control and uncontrolled sites (0–0.07 vs 0–1.1 quokkas/ha). Starting in an unspecified year, once a month, at five sites, meat laced with 1080 poison was laid at 100-m intervals. At three sites, no bait was laid. Five baits/km2 were also dropped from aircraft in the area surrounding baited sites. In each site two wire cage traps were placed every 50–100 m along a stream. One trap, measuring 0.90 × 0.45 × 0.45 m, was baited with apples. The other trap, measuring 0.59 × 0.205 × 0.205 m, was baited with peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, and pilchards. Quokkas were caught and released over an eight-day period at each site and were fitted with transponder microchips to allow individual identification.

China talks about the US wasting at least 15.1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine: developed countries should implement their pledges to provide vaccines to foreign countries
China News Service, Beijing, October 25 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States wasted at least 15.1 million doses of the new crown vaccine from March to September this year. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated at a regular press conference on the 25th that major countries in vaccine research and deve
China News Service, Beijing, October 25 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States wasted at least 15.1 million doses of the new crown vaccine from March to September this year.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated at a regular press conference on the 25th that major countries in vaccine research and development and production, especially the developed countries concerned, should take their responsibilities, abandon "vaccine nationalism", and implement the promise of providing vaccines to foreign countries as soon as possible. , Take practical actions to improve the availability and affordability of the new crown vaccine in developing countries.
A reporter asked questions. United Nations Secretary-General Guterres recently stated that he hopes that the G20 will help raise funds to ensure a fair distribution of the new crown vaccine. "Vaccine nationalism" and the hoarding of vaccines put everyone at risk.
According to US media reports, the number of wasted vaccines in the United States far exceeds the number of vaccinations in many developing countries.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States show that from March to September this year, the United States wasted at least 15.1 million doses of the new crown vaccine.
What is China's comment?
"I have taken note of relevant reports. China always believes that fighting the epidemic is the common responsibility of all countries." Wang Wenbin said that major countries in vaccine research and development and production, especially the developed countries concerned, should earnestly shoulder their responsibilities, abandon "vaccine nationalism" and provide vaccines to the outside world. We promise to implement it as soon as possible, and take concrete actions to improve the availability and affordability of the new crown vaccine in developing countries, and help the world overcome the epidemic at an early date.
Wang Wenbin said that China has faithfully implemented President Xi Jinping's declaration on vaccines as a global public product. It has provided more than 1.5 billion doses of vaccines to more than 100 countries and international organizations, and will strive to provide 2 billion doses of vaccines throughout the year. On the basis of the "New Crown Vaccine Implementation Plan" donation of 100 million US dollars, another 100 million doses of vaccine will be donated to developing countries free of charge.
China will uphold the concept of a community of human health, resolutely oppose "vaccine nationalism", and continue to make China's contribution to the promotion of equitable vaccine distribution.

Love Therapy is the brand that Elio Fiorucci dreamed up and brought into being in 2003. It does not propose full collections, but small pieces, new T-shirts, jeans, exuberant accessories, clothes to be worn alone or mixed with other well-loved garments, fun-ctional clothing with the accent on those first three letters, cheerful, colorful attire that is made to last and become well loved favorites that you will always want to have with you.
It is important that clothing and accessories be beautiful and sincere, that they thrill our hearts and the hearts of those who see them, and that they are completely cruelty-free.
The fabulous world of Love Therapy with its gnomes, its creativity, colors and tenderness, portrays a world beyond rules bursting with love and communicating respect for our fellow animals and for all of nature.
We think that nothing humans do has value if it not imbued with spiritual values. Commercial activities are no exception. The conscious consumer senses this and shares these values: they are a way for each of us to find his or her equilibrium and meaning in life.
Fill out the form below to receive news and updates on Love Therapy, discounts and special offers!
When Elio Fiorucci started thinking about a new brand in 2003, he looked around him and made a wish. He wanted to further the Love revolution he had started in 1967 when he opened the Fiorucci store in Galleria Passerella in Milan. Everyone who came into the store – around five thousand a day! – suddenly felt good, relaxed, sensing that someone was personally taking care of them.
Selecting innovative, well designed articles, Elio Fiorucci always sought to convey a strongly ethical message, believing that "a commercial or industrial activity has to grow out of a spiritual quest, because consumers are always able to recognize the essential values of a product."
Creating Love Therapy was his way of communicating Love through fashion. He wanted to transmit kindness, respect for one's neighbor and for the environment with happy, colorful clothing, accessories and objects that generate a feeling of optimism and celebrate the joy of living.
As the brand grows and develops, the adventure now continues with Floria Fiorucci, Elio's sister, who has always played an active role in his life and work. Floria draws in other people, other outlooks that constitute a sort of extended creative family. Starting from the premise that beauty is imagination and freedom, Love Therapy proposes a collection of forms and colors with surprising impact. It is a brand that is both sweet and revolutionary at the same time, cutting across all boundaries.
Love Therapy represents a way of being happy, imaginative and, most importantly, kind and loving. As Elio liked to say: "Love will save the world."

L'AMORE RENDE MAGICA LA VITA


Kyle Hamilton is one of the most experienced and renowned FoH engineers in the business. He's currently on the road with Janet Jacksons Unbreakable world tour, and his overall FoH credits read like a true who-is-who of the music industry: Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Prince, Toni Braxton, R. Kelly, Robin Thicke, Kelly Rowland, Lionel Richie, Mary J. Blige, and many more. We don't need to say how proud we are to count him among the ranks of our official LEWITT endorsers.
We caught up with Kyle at a sound check for Janet Jacksons Unbreakable World tour and asked him about his micing techniques on the drums and his experiences with LEWITT microphones.
[LEWITT] Which LEWITT microphones are you using on the "Unbreakable" tour?
[Kyle Hamilton] Currently, I use the LEWITT mic package on the drum kit and on some of the vocal stuff.
[LEWITT] Can you tell us a bit about your micing techniques on the drums?
[Kyle Hamilton] I use the DTP 340 TT's on the toms, which are amazing-sounding mics. The mic really brings out the essence of the drums' tone. Basically, what you put in is what you get out. I mean, if you have a poorly tuned kit, it would expose it – but with our particular drummer and his tech, it enhances what he's putting out.
[LEWITT] What can you tell us about the mic you're using on the kick drum?
[Kyle Hamilton] On the kick drum I use the DTP 640 REX. That's a dual-diaphragm mic – dynamic and condenser – and I love the way it sounds. The micing technique with this particular mic is very directional, so placement is everything. If you have the mic off-center vs. deep in the hole or out, its characteristics change drastically, but when you find that sweet spot, it's a magical sounding mic.
[LEWITT] What do you look for when you mic the snare?
[Kyle Hamilton] With the snare, what I look for is that inherent overall "crack," that power, that thunderous snare. The pulse between the kick and the snare, that pulse that really helps make a song. Now, what I love about the MTP 440 DM is that when the drummer plays sidestick, it picks all that up without me having to drive it harder. It's about the balance between the snare and the sidestick – I've always had issues with sidestick, but as soon as I started using the MTP 440 DM, it was almost like I didn't have to search for it from song to song – it was just there. So that's one of my major bullet points regarding the MTP 440 DM. You know that when you get to that sidestick, it'll be in your face.
[LEWITT] What's about the bottom snare?
[Kyle Hamilton] For my bottom snare I use the LCT 340 – a pencil condenser mic. That picks up all the snare's little nuances. Once again: it's bold, in your face, and you know that if you look for that top and bottom snare combination – where you get that crack – it just feels right. Everybody's microphone-techniques are different, but for me, that balance works out great. I typically have the snare top at plus 5db over the snare bottom mic.
[LEWITT] How do you catch the sound of the floor toms?
[Kyle Hamilton] I use the LCT 550, and that mic just speaks for itself. It's one of the quietest microphones I've ever used, especially when it comes to floor toms. You like to gate them, but I don't want to gate them to heavily because then you miss the resonance on that low-end stuff as the decay happens. So with that mic having such a high rejection, I don't have to put a tight gate on it. I use the three-finger distance pattern from the center of the diaphragm to the top of the floor tom head. I also mic that in between the rim and the head, right in that little sweet spot, to get that deep, bold heaviness that you want from a floor tom – that thunderous sound.
[LEWITT] What are you looking for in a microphone when it comes to the overheads, and why did you choose LEWITT microphones?
[Kyle Hamilton] I use the LCT 640s for the overheads. At the end of the day, what I look for in a microphone is an uncolored sound – I want it to be transparent. And what I get out of the LEWITT brand on many different levels is that it does exactly what I ask it to do. It's very transparent – I get the true sound. I don't have a colored sound, which is what most engineers try for: they want it to be an extension of the instrument, not just their own rendition of it. So LEWITT microphones give me my "transparent," record-ready mix with a live feel to it. And as a result of that, I've switched all my technical riders for all of the bands that I mix over to LEWITT mics. If they don't own them, they have to buy them – I don't want to bring along my own, since I use them for my home studio. The LEWITT brand has definitely become a new benchmark, and I endorse them one hundred percent.

Leaving in the high Altitude of Arunachal Pradesh with a Zero Degree Temperature, Apatani People are one of the Primitive groups migrated from the extreme north of Subansiri and Siang areas following the rivers of Kurung and Kumey. This Group does not have any Written History. Apatanis are loyal followers of the Danyi-Piilo faith, who pray to the Sun (Ayo Danyi) and the Moon (Atoh Piilo). Abotani is revered as the sole ancestor of all Apatani and other tribes in the surrounding regions. When a misfortune occurs, they believe that it is caused by certain evil spirits, and thus they make appeasement by sacrificing chickens, cows and other domestic animals. Myoko, the festival of friendship and prosperity, is celebrated in a grand manner lasting for all of March each year. The dress of the Apatanis is elaborate and colorful, yet simple in style. Tattooing (Tiipe) and the stuffing of large nose plugs (yaping hullo) were once popular among the women, although this practice has gradually fallen into decline in recent years.This practice is believed to have started because the women wanted to look unattractive to males from neighboring tribes. Apatani women were considered to be the most beautiful ones among all the Arunachal tribes. Traditionally, the men tie their hair in a knot just above the forehead (locally called piiding) using a brass rod (piiding khotu) measuring 12 inches, placed horizontally. Strips of fine cane belt painted in red (yari) and bent into the shape of a horse-collar with an elongated end were also worn. These strips of cane are loosely fastened together, with the loop of the horse-collar being tied round the waist. The men also tattoo (tiippe) their chin in the shape of a 'T' under the lower lip. The women tattoo themselves with broad blue lines from the forehead to the tip of the nose and five vertical stripes under the lower lip in the chin. The women bundle up their tresses, which are rolled into a ball (dilling) on the top of the head. A brass skewer (ading akh) may then be inserted horizontally. Overnight at Zero.
DAY 07: VISIT THE APATANI VILLAGES IN AND AROUND ZERO
The Apatanis are a very interesting tribe. Unlike the other tribes, they are non-nomadic in nature. They practice permanent wetland cultivation in hilly terrain by slicing the hills, whereas other tribes practice cultivation in dry land by cutting down forests.
Arguably, the most captivating members are the older women of the tribe, who wear facial tattoos and massive nose rings. The tradition, though non-existent now, dates back to pre-modern times, when the Apatani women were considered to be the most beautiful in all of Arunachal Pradesh. Men of other tribes would often steal the Apatani women, which led the Apatani men to tattoo the faces of their women and make them wear massive nose plugs, in order to make them less appealing.
The best time to visit Ziro is during the Murung Rituals in January or during the Dree Festival of July where the tribe practice animal sacrifices to honor the Gods.During the farming season, tourists can take part and observe the rice cum fish cultivation, where fish is reared in the rice fields. Overnight at Zero.
DAY 08: DRIVE TO DAPORIZO ON THE WAY VISITING THE HILL MIRIS
The Hill-Miris society as one of the major section of Donipolo and their common ancestry is being called ABO-TANI. ABO-TANI is considered to be the great grandson of SICHI, the earth. He is believed to born in purely human form with all supernatural qualities peculiar to those ages. Almost all aspects of Hill- Miris beliefs and activities, faith originate from various activities in the life of Abo-Tani. The Hill Miri (Nyishis) are a people of Arunachal Pradesh, India. They are mainly settled in and around Daporijo, Upper Subansiri District and Raga and Dollungmukh areas of Lower Subansiri District. The Hill Miri (Nyishi) have a tiny population, estimated at 9,000 because of which they were officially onsolidated with their more populous and closest ethnic neighbours, the Nyishi in 1998. They speak the Hill-Miri language, or Sarak-miri, a Tibeto-Burman language of India.Hill-Miris share common descendant/lineage with Nyishis, i.e., Dopum, Dodum, Dol/Dolu.Overnight at Dumporizo.

Tagins are generally adherents of Donyi Polo,[2] although two groups of Tagin–the Naga and Mara have come under the influence of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhist influence among these sections of the Tagin was a result of migration of Tibetans from the north in the 18th century as well as visits by Buddhist missionaries of the Nyingma sect who paid tribute to the chiefs as a result of Tibetan settlement in their land.

I am looking at my PET scan report. All the legions have mildly increased in the metastasis areas and I am rethinking my decision. Can you help me?
But before that, please do the following if you don't mind.
Imagine yourself completely bald, with no eyebrows or eyelashes. With such low immunity that you can barely get out of bed, can't be in crowded places, can't eat, must wear a mask if you meet people, battle nausea, upset stomach, heat flushes and therefore want to faint so you can escape the miserable feeling of an illness.
Imagine between all this, you must attend an occasion; a very important one. Something you have been looking forward to for almost a year.
How disappointed would you be to attend it this way?
Imagine attending your best friend's wedding like this? I can't.
When the beautiful and happy announcement of my best friend's wedding was made last December and I was declared the 'Best Man', it was an honour to be a part of this celebration. Since then I have been planning the wedding and how I can contribute.
The year 2016 started wonderfully for me. I was working and feeling validated, and my health was doing well too. But then it went downhill given my brain radiation, mastectomy surgery and a long list of treatments that didn't work in curing my cancer, but instead sapped me of all my energy and health; to the extent that I am unable to work today and largely spend my time sleeping.
How then can I attend my favorite occasion of the year in this state?
My oncologist has been encouraging me to go back to regular chemotherapy. He believes that it will help me stabilize my cancer, but it would reintroduce all the symptoms I asked you to imagine.
Right now, I have lost weight to my desired amount, I have a decent amount of hair on my head and due to naturopathy treatment, I am slowly regaining energy. I am climbing my mountain again.
Hence, the thought of taking regular chemotherapy was agonizing. Naturally, I refused.
My oncologist and I have been at loggerheads for months because I am refusing the 'best treatment' and putting my life in 'danger' over an occasion I want to attend. Surely I should be more mature than that? I have stage 4 cancer after all!
But I stuck my ground. Why?
Because I am already living a compromised life. I have been living it since two and a half years and I am done being scared of cancer. I refuse to change my movie or shopping plans over a doctor's appointment- he can see me when I want to see him, not because I fear this brand-new side effect.
I refuse to change my treatment just a month before the wedding and present myself as a shadow of who I am.
I refuse to not be completely alive and active that time and live it to the fullest.
I refuse any treatment that takes me away from me; at least till January. And this deal is non-negotiable.
I don't mean to be arrogant or disrespectful to my cancer, but I refuse to let it rule me.
Because I am fighting for my life. For the daily experiences, the mundane problems, the TV shows, the family outings, the gossip sessions… and attending important occasions of my loved ones.
We're told to live a life that we won't regret when we're on our death bed. Well, if I am not at the wedding in my present healthy self, then this will be my regret. And I refuse that.
So, the Gods that have kept me alive until now will just have to take my request and get me through this month and then I will begin any treatment my oncologist suggests.
I don't know if other warriors get this complacent after spending so much time in the cancer universe. If they stop feeling scared after a point as well.
I don't mean to be disrespectful to the danger I am putting myself in.
But as I look at my PET scan report and think about the decision I have taken, I ask myself, have I made the right choice? The reply comes immediately. Yes.
Imagine being drunk at your friend's bachelors and being able to stay up all night long with everybody to enjoy the experience? To be able to dance the night away at the cocktail party and yet have the freshness to attend the wedding the next morning? To be able to stand and give your speech? To be smiling and looking your gorgeous best?
I can. And that's how I will celebrate this occasion.
Don't I deserve this luxury? What do you think?
Wow,Sonia. Finally a new blog after a long time which sums up what you what you want to so and why you are stopping your treatment for now. Looking forward to meet you on your birthday. Love you lots. Take care, my sweet Warriior.
I had offered you about a year ago, a medicine like a 'SANJEEVINI'. Ajay said that you refused comply with it.
Well , not to worry. You can , not only , attend your best friend's marriage , but also see her child getting married !!!
First of all , you need to know, that , you yourself are manufacturing the medicine you required by you !!!
That's right, EVERY mammal's urine is nothing, but a concentrated, body manufacturered 'Steriod' , and NOT a waste product !!! WE are wasting our urine !!! It's the ONLY steriod with ZERO side-effects !!! A person's own urine is 100% safer than the cow's urine.
When applied on any wounds on the body, it heals it. Similarly, when consumed, it reaches out each & every 'cell' of the body which is damaged, and heals it !!!
Now I'll tell you the procedure.
24 hours before you start, NO meat, NO alcohol , NO cigarettes . That's all.
The urine Manufactured by the body after sunset is MORE potent. In a normal person's case, where he consumes daily for EXCELLENT HEALTH , he takes the FIRST URINE that he passes on awakening in the morning. But, in sever cases, EVERY DROP 💧 matters, for a quicker recovery !!! That is, throughout the day and night, whatever urine is produced, should be consumed (minimum 1 glass or whatever is the output). So consume lot of fluids, like variety of juices, along with with your regular meal(NO NON-VEG, NO ALCOHOL, NO CIGARETTES). Get a checkup done after 20 days and celebrate !!!
For further details required, if any, please get in touch.
hehe love you toooo. can't wait to see you. 🙂 thank you for understanding my point of view and supporting me.
yes, yes, yes…. take care & god bless!
Yes! You deserve it… And you madam write so well, nothing could ever stop you and nothing is going to stop you in future.
awww, thank you so much Steffi. thanks for understanding my point of view.
Hi Sonia! I have been reading your posts on fb for a while now. I have seen my dad undertaking a similar journey for the last 3 years so I can comprehend your state of mind. He has gone through multiple rounds of chemotherapy + radiation due to the remission and relapse cycles. He had one such chemo cycle scheduled today and he told the oncologist that he wanted a couple of weeks of "holiday" in December to enjoy his birthday and the year-end (his birthday is a few days after yours). I had almost fought with him last evening when he had told me that he would be asking for a "break" from treatment partly because he hasnt had a PET scan done in 6 months now so we have no clue on the status of the disease. Luckily for him the oncologist agreed to give him one. But, the point I am trying to make is that the only thing that will get you past this disease (or to keep it under check) is for you to keep fighting by leading as normal a life as possible (and being positive as well). And since this wedding is as important as you make it out to be, then you must participate in your full self :). Also, the side benefit is that since you are returning to normalcy now, you should be healthier to take the chemotherapy next month when you have to undertake it. Keep smiling :).
You are brave, strong and a true warrior.
Your blogs are written with such honestly.
I wish you all the best and hope that you enjoy every moment of the wedding. Power to you!
Thank you sooo much! 🙂 I'm really looking forward to the wedding.
U will win over all odds keep loving family and we elders blessing will always with u !
Thank you Smitha 🙂 I wish I still looked like that.
Thank you Hayley. I will check out this book right away!

Press release of the OIAD
The Consiglio Nazionale Forense (Italy), with lawyer Francesco Caia, assumes the Presidency of the International Observatory for Lawyers in Danger (OIAD) for this year.
The President Victoria Ortega Benito handed over of the Presidency at the end of the General Assembly held on April 29, 2021 in accordance with the statute, which provides for the annual rotation of the Presidency among the founding members of the Observatory (Conseil National des Barreaux (France), Conseil National Forense (Italy), Consejo General de la Abogacía Española (Spain), Ordre des Avocats de Paris.
The Geneva Bar Association and the Milan Bar Association are elected members of the OIAD Board.
Five years have passed since the foundation of the OIAD, which main aim is to support lawyers all over the world who are threatened and persecuted by arbitrary arrests and convictions only because they are guilty of faithfully exercising the defensive mandate, in the exclusive interest of the client, without yielding to the pressures of governments and authoritarian regimes. Many are physically attacked and injured or even pay with their lives for their commitment.
Currently, more than forty bar associations, including non-Europeans, are members of the OIAD.
«I thank the President Ortega, all the board members and the active members of the OIAD for their efforts and their many actions over the past year, despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic. We will continue to support lawyers unfairly persecuted in countries where the most serious human rights violations occur – says President Francesco Caia – also through the drafting of communications and letters sent to the governments concerned, to remind them to respect the international conventions, the organisation of trial observation missions, positive actions such as assistance in the procedures for political asylum. We are aware of the need to defend the rule of law and the principles of fair trial and independence of the judiciary, of which lawyers are an essential part, now unfortunately under attack in many states.
We are grateful for the participation of the OIAD members at the General Assembly held last week. In particular of the Guatemalan lawyer Esteban Celada whose testimony inspires us to pursue the fight to protect lawyers in danger.


name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Why do we love and care for others? Some would say that love is just part of the process of evolution: Someone once killed his neighbor, and because others did not want to be killed as well, they banded together and punished the murderer. People saw this punishment and deduced that killing is wrong and that the tribe is a stronger unit when people look out for each other.
This is a hypothetical but plausible scenario if we look at how things work today and use our intellect to explain what happened eons ago in human history. The problem is, though, we weren't there.
As a person who studies religion and is a follower of Jesus Christ — which, believe it or not, is a choice I made after rational inquiry and finding satisfying evidence that God is acting in the world even today — I have spent much time reading through the many millennia-old written document of humanity's interactions with God.
There are two strands that I always make light of when learning about the history of love as recorded in Scripture. First, I look at what humans were doing, and second, I look at what God is doing. The two are often very different. Human morality, even in the Bible, is very relative and focused on the self — and, in this view, the account of morality as hypothesized in evolution is probably true.
In fact, in Canaan, when the Hebrews began moving into the promised land, the cities were independent states, engaged in trade, alliance or war.
The city-states had kings. Codes of laws were variously applied so that each person did what he or she thought was right, and when that infringed on another it was up to the king and his governmental officials to bring balance and fairness. It was an imperfect system, however, so long as people continued to look out only for themselves.
God's interaction with this economy was devastating to the local way. At Mount Sinai, Moses received the Commandments. These 10 precepts shifted focus from the human self to two others. First, love of God; second, love of others. It was more than just tolerant refrain from stepping on toes. It was a way to change the human heart toward a more divine economy. God's words united the Hebrews, and God's strength helped them as they left Egypt and assimilated the warring city-states.
Humanity constantly has to relearn this basic principle, and it is something each of us has to grapple with every day. Will we love ourselves and only contract with others toward a peaceful truce? Or will we give up our rights and give ourselves 100 percent for God and for others?
Christians look to Christ and see this sacrifice made completely real. The cross is a symbol of God showing us the way. Reclaiming the world by inserting light into the darkness and showing that selfishness will not prevail.
In the four gospels we see the son of God give up a stable life, devote himself to healing the sick and feeding the hungry, become betrayed by a close friend for money and then willingly accept an undeserved punishment to turn the tables of justice toward grace and forgiveness rather than legality and containment.
For those with and without faith, God's economy has huge lessons with an efficiency that can only come when people genuinely love.

Q: Change the order of a table according to preference in another table In MS SQL server, I have a table A as below
Name   Food    PreferenceOrder
Jon    Burger  1
Jon    Coke    2
Jon    Pizza   3
Jon    Fries   4
Sam    Pizza   1
Sam    Coke    2

I have another table B that can override the preference order above
Name   Food    PreferredOverFood
Jon    Pizza   Fries
Jon    Coke    Burger
Jon    Fries   Coke
Sam    Coke    Pizza

Basically here, Food should come before PreferredOverFood (Pizza > Fries)
Now, I want to reorder table A according to Table B preferences, so the result should be like
Name   Food    PreferenceOrder
Jon    Burger  4
Jon    Pizza   1
Jon    Fries   3
Jon    Coke    2
Sam    Pizza   2
Sam    Coke    1

I tried by using cursors, so I created a dynamic cursor, with each fetch I am updating Table B with table A preference, but since we are updating things row by row its not considering rows that violate the previous preferences, so I am getting Fries before Pizza (since Fries > Coke is run and it forgot about first preference (Pizza > Fries)).
So dynamic cursor is not working, (its not refreshing the result set after update). Can I use CTE or something to do like above. (Can also have circular dependencies, but not too worried about it for now)
Thanks

A: It is too long for a comment.
Well, that's the problem, then. I take data from A, then apply overrides from B to it and end up with a cycle. I think that there is a cycle, you don't think that there should be a cycle.
So, there is a bigger problem with understanding how overrides should work.
My logic is the following.
Data from A can be represented in the same format as B:
Name   Food    PreferenceOrder
Jon    Burger  1
Jon    Coke    2
Jon    Pizza   3
Jon    Fries   4

So, for Jon we have this chain originally:
Burger -> Coke -> Pizza -> Fries

OR this set of rules:
a) Burger -> Coke
b) Coke -> Pizza
c) Pizza -> Fries

Then we have overrides from B:
Name   Food    PreferredOverFood
Jon    Pizza   Fries
Jon    Coke    Burger
Jon    Fries   Coke

OR this set of rules:
d) Pizza -> Fries
e) Coke -> Burger
f) Fries -> Coke

Now we merge two sets of rules where second set overrides the first set if there is a conflict.
Rule (d) is the same as (c), so (c) is removed.
Rule (e) overrides (a), so (a) is removed.
Rule (f) is a new rule that doesn't exist in the first set.
If any rules from the first set are still there, they are kept.
Final result of rules:
d) Pizza -> Fries
e) Coke -> Burger
f) Fries -> Coke
b) Coke -> Pizza

This is a directional graph. If it represents a tree, it can be ordered. It there are cycles, you need to decide what to do with them. If there are several disconnected trees, you can order each tree individually and then decide the order between trees.
In your example the graph looks like this (if we start from Coke).
    (b)      (d)      (f)
Coke -> Pizza -> Fries -> Coke -> ... the cycle (bdf) ...
   |
   | (e)
   |
   -> Burger

Formal (university)
Title: Formal (university)
Subject: Durham University, University of Exeter, University of Bristol, Peterhouse, Cambridge, Trinity College, Dublin
Collection: Academic Meals, Durham University, Terminology of the University of Cambridge, Terminology of the University of Oxford, University of Bristol, University of Exeter
Formal Hall or Formal Meal is a meal held at some of the oldest universities in the United Kingdom and Ireland (as well as some other Commonwealth countries) at which students dress in formal attire and often gowns to dine. These are held commonly in the colleges of Oxford,[1] Cambridge,[2] Dublin, Durham and St Andrews and Royal Holloway, Nottingham, the Australian Sandstone universities (Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland, Sydney, Tasmania, Western Australia), and the University of Toronto.
In a number of red brick universities, some halls such as those at Manchester (a merge between Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST), Bristol, Hull and Exeter, also practise similar traditions in order to increase interaction between academics and students, and to enrich the students' overall learning experience. Colleges of some Australian red brick universities, including the Australian National University, Monash University, the University of New England, the University of New South Wales and the University of Southern Queensland, also hold gowned formal dinners.
The nature of Formals varies widely between the colleges and halls that hold them. In some colleges, Formals may be held every night, and are simply a second sitting of hall at which gowns are worn and grace is read. In other colleges, Formals may be special events to which guests from outside the college are frequently invited, often with themes and associated ents or "bops". In between these two extremes fall the great majority of colleges.
The full name and abbreviations to describe the formals differ. Generally, though, they are known as:
Formal Hall - common at Oxford, Cambridge, Royal Holloway and Durham
Formal Meal or Formal Dinner - are also sometimes used
Common Meal - subsidized collegiate meals at St Andrews
Commons - Dublin (Trinity College)
Abbreviations of the above terms tend to be either Formal or, at St John's College, Cambridge, Hall. There are other circumstances in which different names are used. For example, some larger colleges have both a large dining hall and a canteen-style dining room (often called the Buttery or Servery). In these cases informal evening meals are taken in the Buttery and formal meals in the hall, and the term Hall is used uniquely to refer to the latter meal. Some may call it Second Hall to differentiate from the earlier self-service First Hall or Informal Hall.
Some colleges/halls have elaborate traditions, while others are more relaxed. The wearing of gowns at formals is compulsory at some colleges and various other traditions are usually observed, including grace said in Latin or English (for example Jesus College, Cambridge, St Catharine's College, Cambridge and Peterhouse, Cambridge, Trinity College, Dublin or St Chad's College, Hatfield College and University College, Durham). The wearing of gowns may sometimes constitute the only dress code (as in Peterhouse); in other cases formal wear (for example a lounge suit for men or equivalent for women) is required in addition to, or instead of, the gown.
Christ's College, Cambridge
Churchill College, Cambridge
Corpus Christi College, Cambridge
Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge
St Johns College, Cambridge
Selwyn College, Cambridge
Trinity College, Cambridge
The tradition of pennying is long established in most Cambridge, Oxford, St Andrews and Durham colleges/halls, although is banned in some colleges, such as Trinity Hall and Pembroke, Cambridge whereas in others there is often the risk of possible expulsion from the meal by staff members and even fines at St Chad's College, Durham. A variation of the tradition is found at University College, Durham, where corks are used instead of pennies. In some Cambridge colleges, Smarties are used as an alternative, due to the request of the kitchen staff (pennies apparently being a problem in dishwashers).
Almost all Durham, St Andrews, Royal Holloway, Dublin, Oxford and Cambridge college formal halls include a High Table, exclusively for the Senior Common Room of the college and their guests, with students eating at the lower tables. The high table is often raised above the floor level of the hall. A few of the more modern colleges (for example Linacre College, Oxford, St. Cross College, Oxford, St. Edmund's College, Cambridge, Wolfson College, Cambridge, and Wolfson College, Oxford) have discontinued (or never had) this practice, in order to promote equality between fellows and students.
There may be one or more after dinner speakers at the end of the dinner or even between courses if it is a special occasion.
