Visiting Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh – The Palace of Holyroodhouse
3 Comments	/ Learning Activities for Kids, Scotland, Scotland, travel / By MaryAnne Kochenderfer
Holyrood Palace (the Palace of Holyroodhouse) is a working royal residence in Scotland. Tour this royal residence when the royal family is not in residence!
Everyone knows that the British Royal Family spends much of their time in Buckingham Palace, but did you know that they spend their summers in Edinburgh, Scotland? Specifically, they come and stay in the Palace of Holyroodhouse – more commonly referred to as Holyrood Palace. Last summer, we spent a month in Scotland. Mike was there for work; the kids and I were there to re-visit the country Mike and I loved living in for three years. Our oldest daughter Emma finally got to see the place where she was born! Our four children were enthralled by Edinburgh Castle, and they loved visiting the ruins of Craigmillar Castle. Since we arrived in the city BEFORE the royal family, we were also able to take the kids on a tour of Edinburgh's working royal residence, Holyrood Palace.

Visiting Holyrood Palace with Kids
Holyrood Palace sits in a lovely flat piece of land at the base of Arthur's Seat. The Scottish Parliament was built across the street while Mike and I were in grad school. The tents you see in this photo are set up for the Garden Parties the queen hosts while she is in town. The kids and I caught a glimpse of one of these parties the day we climbed Arthur's Seat.
You cannot apply to attend a Garden Party, but we do know several people who have been invited. Some of our friends attended, and a few refused due to their opinion of the royal family (and said Garden Party). The Garden Parties were, historically, a way to introduce debutantes to society. These days they are meant to recognize and reward public service.
I wasn't sure what to expect, visiting Holyrood Palace with kids. It turned out that the Palace of Holyroodhouse makes an effort to be kid-friendly! Each of our children were given headsets with a tour created just for children who were visiting.
A children's room had craft supplies and dress-up outfits, as well as some interesting books for the kids to read.
Four-year-old Anna was enormously pleased with the crown she made! She actually is quite sad that this crown did not make it into our luggage to come home. Maybe I'll make a new one with her here at home soon.
You aren't allowed to take photos inside the palace. My daughter Lily LOVED Lord Darnley's fancy bed so much that she wanted to go back. We could have gone back once. We had our admission price categorized as a donation, and if you do that you can return once on the same ticket within the year. But with the Queen arriving and everything else that we had going on it didn't happen. Lord Darnley is not a very nice person, anyway.
The audio tour continues into the stunning palace gardens. You can keep listening as you enter the ruins of beautiful Holyrood Abbey.
Can you imagine what this Abbey would have looked like before being ruined? We loved finding this pair of birds roosting in an opening in the stones as we left the Abbey ruins.
Would you like to learn more about Holyrood Palace? Check out my daughter Emma's Holyrood Palace article!
Have you visited Holyrood Palace? Tickets are pricey, but it is a neat experience, and a great look into Britain's royal history. You can read more about our Scotland adventures here. We will likely return to Edinburgh in 2018, again for Mike's job. Is there somewhere we should be sure to go? Share your ideas on my Facebook page, or tag me on Instagram.

Amusingly enough I was just reading about this palace as a side note in an article about the royal family. I've never been to Scotland, so I obviously haven't been to the palace, but I'd love to go someday.
This looks like Downton Abbey!
You're right! It is a similar style of estate.


Keep in mind the beginning spot in How to pursue Leads? Here is simply the update – Ask what do I think about the individual? Do you have a name and an age, and you know where he once lived? Do you know where he went to secondary school or school? Does he have any expert license(s)?
So you look at the hunt box at the Be Your Own Detective blog. It gave you a rundown of names with age, and city – yet you don't know enough to request the report. You truly would prefer not to spend the cash for the report at this time. You don't have room schedule-wise to look through people in general records yourself seek via seek – this could take weeks. What other place would i be able to turn?
All things considered, on the off chance that you have ever attempted to cover up on display, the following wellspring of data might be evident to you, yet not to everybody. Look in the news. Have you had a go at scanning news hotspots for your subject? Presently if your subject has a typical name, you may have pages and pages of news to separate. In the event that the name is something like somewhat one of a kind – you can have better good fortune.
So you say."I Googled the name – doesn't it check news sources?" Yes and no. There is something about Google, Yahoo, MSN and other web crawlers that endeavor to give you significance that tends to "skirt" news articles. Presently your subject might not have been in the news as of late, so if that is the situation he won't be there. I have frequently discovered individuals in the news articles that did not appear in a standard Google seek. So when you direct that look, likewise tap on the news tab – to be safe. That way you can get a name and area and more data on that individual. When you have that, you may feel increasingly great about catching up with the paid report.


We rode up a ridiculously steep cobblestone street in the lovely village Saarsburg, Germany. We found a cafe overlooking the waterfall that bisects the village.
It was early for lunch, but what the heck.
We couldn't resist two of these with coffee. This is not the kind of thing we do when cycle touring the Himalayas or the Australian outback, but could get used to it.
I've never ridden anything this steep on cobblestones before, and my knees are talking to me tonight.

After discussing a number of ideas, BOSS and JHS Pedals ultimately felt that combining the Blues Driver and Angry Charlie would be the ideal match.
"It stacks amazingly with the Blues Driver," Josh adds. "What's great about the Blues Driver is it covers low gain phenomenally, and it does boost really well, and that accents what the Angry Charlie is. The Angry Charlie is always angry, so the Blues Driver helps mellow it out and do different things.
With its two drive types, dual-concentric knobs, and six modes, the JB-2 packs an enormous amount of overdrive range in a single-space pedal. The Blues Driver is the lower-gain side, carrying everything from boost to overdrive, and the Angry Charlie carries the medium-high overdrive all the way to distortion.
The six-position mode selector provides flexibility to use the overdrives in numerous creative ways, from individual operation to series stacking and even parallel operation. In series mode, one overdrive works as a booster for the other, while in parallel mode, the overdrive character expressively changes in response to picking nuance. A remote jack extends the pedal's versatility even further with control from an external footswitch or pedal switcher.

Die DDR-Handballoberliga Frauen der Saison 1964/65 diente zur Ermittlung der Meister in der Halle und auf dem Feld. Hallenmeister der Frauen wurde der SC Leipzig, auf dem Feld verteidigten die Frauen des SC Empor Rostock den Titel.

Hallenmeisterschaft

Erstmals wurde der Meister im Hallenhandball der Frauen in einer eingleisigen Oberliga ermittelt. Ungeschlagen machte der Vorjahresdritte SC Leipzig das Rennen, mit drei Punkten Vorsprung vor dem Dritten der vorangegangenen Saison, dem SC Empor Rostock. Mit dem dritten Platz ging für die BSG Fortschritt Weißenfels endgültig eine Ära zu Ende. Nach dem letzten Titelgewinn 1964 in der Halle verabschiedeten sich die Weißenfelserinnen endgültig aus dem Spitzenfeld des Frauenhandballs. Wegen der Reduzierung von zwanzig auf zehn Mannschaften gab es 1964/65 keine Aufsteiger aus dem Handballunterbau. Absteigen mussten der SC Einheit Dresden und die BSG Post Halberstadt.

* Die Spiele TSC Berlin – Post Halberstadt und TSC Berlin – Lok Rangsdorf waren zu Beginn der Feldmeisterschaft immer noch nicht ausgetragen.

Die Meistermannschaft

Feldmeisterschaft

Punktspiele

Zum letzten Mal wurde die Meisterschaft auf dem Feld mit 20 Mannschaften ausgetragen. Die waren wieder in zwei Staffeln aufgeteilt, wegen der im Dezember bevorstehenden Frauen-Weltmeisterschaft fand aber zwischen April und Juli 1965 nur eine einfache Punktspielrunde statt. Die Staffelsieger SC Empor Rostock und BSG Empor Halloren Halle ermittelten in einem Endspiel den neuen Meister. Da ab der Saison 1965/66 auch die Feldmeisterschaft nur noch in einer eingleisigen zehn Mannschaften umfassenden Oberliga ausgetragen wurde, qualifizierten sich nur die jeweils fünf besten Mannschaften jeder Staffel für die neue Feld-Saison.

 * Die fehlenden Ergebnisse konnten nicht ermittelt werden.

Endspiel – Feld
(4. Juli 1965)

SC Empor Rostock – BSG Halloren Halle 5:1

Das letzte Feldhandballendspiel der Frauen wurde überlegen vom Titelverteidiger SC Empor Rostock gewonnen. Der SC Empor musste zwar wegen der bevorstehenden Frauen-Weltmeisterschaft auf seine Nationalspielerinnen verzichten, doch auch die BSG Halloren hatten ein Handicap zu verkraften. Sie hatten zwei Tage zuvor noch ein Entscheidungsspiel um den Staffelsieg gegen Fortschritt Weißenfels auszutragen, das sie erst nach zweimaliger Verlängerung mit 9:8 gewannen. Trotzdem dominierten die Hallenserinnen zunächst und gingen mit 1:0 in Führung. Trotz des Ausgleichstores durch Preuß lag Rostock eine Viertelstunde unter Druck und hatte es nur ihrer sicheren Torhüterin zu verdanken, dass Halle zu keinen weiteren Toren kam. Auch die Rostockerinnen taten sich anfangs mit dem Toreschießen schwer, die Halloren-Abwehr stand sicher. Mit zunehmender Spieldauer ließ die Kondition der Hallenserinnen nach und Rostocks Routine gewann die Oberhand. Vor allem über die rechte Seite wurden nun erfolgreiche Angriffe gestartet, die letztendlich spielentscheidend waren.

Effects of changrolin and pyracrine phosphate on ATPase of rabbit heart sarcolemma
En-hong Chen, Zeng-hong Tu, Hui-hua Yang, Wei-wei Wu
Changrolin, 4-{3',5'-bis [(N-pyrrolidinyl) methyl]-4'-hydroxy-anilino} quinazoline, was synthesized in our institute for treatment of arrhythmia. When the quinazoline ring of changrolin was substituted by an acridine ring, the compound was named pyracrine phosphate.
The rabbit heart sarcolemma was prepared according to the method of McNa-mara(5), except that the left ventricle was homogenized by a glass homogenizer and, in the last step, the membrane was extracted with 2 M LiBr. The inhibitory effects of changrolin and quinidine (1 mM) on the Na+, K+-ATPase activity were 24% and 50%, respectively.
The inhibitory effects of pyracrine phosphate and mepacrine on Na+, K+-ATPase were more potent. The inhibitory effect of pyracrine phosphate was similar to that of ouabain.
The effects of changrolin and pyracrine phosphate on Ca2+-ATPase activity were not significant at 0.5 and 1 mM.

Today, we upgraded a BIG-IP cluster (mode Active/Active) from version 12.1.2 to version 14.0.0.4. After the upgrade, almost all applications start to fail intermittently with an error ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE. The problem ocurred ONLY in Chrome browser, and in Firefox, Opera and Edge everything worked fine. There is no error in LTM logs. Someone has experienced this problem?
Since this cookie is related to the AVR feature, we disabled the HTTP analytics on all virtual servers that had this enabled, to force the BIG-IP system stop to sending this Set-Cookie. After this, we tried the upgrade again and the upgrade worked perfectly and the error ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE did not ocurred anymore on Chrome browsers.
As a second test (for confirmation), after the upgrade we enabled the HTTP analytics profile again in some virtual servers and the issue happened again: the applications start to fail in Chrome browsers with an error message of ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE.
So, I think is a somekind of bug in the BIG-IP for this version.
I have encountered the same issue with 14.0.0 and Chrome. Removing the analytics profile solved it. the cspm cookie is for client-side performance monitoring so I expect, though I haven't tested it, that disabling the "Page load time" metric in the analytics profile would also stop the error.
Yes. Disabling the "Page Load Time" in the analytics profile also solves the issue (tested here).
I have not seen this issue.
However, I would start by checking your iRules. For example do you have a HTTP_RESPONSE event containing multiple re-directs for a single IF condition?

Renew commitment to fight against Aids
By Cyphrene Wasike | December 1st 2020 at 00:00:00 GMT +0300
Today we commemorate World Aids Day, a day set aside for partners to unite, renew their commitment and show support for people living with HIV and Aids, as well as remember those who have died from Aids-related illnesses.
Partners in the HIV sector are expected to renew their commitment under the national theme 'Komesha HIV & Covid-19 #Tuwajibike' to support the government's efforts towards preventing the spread of HIV and Covid-19.
The national theme was derived from the 2020 World Aids Day Global theme: "Global Solidarity, Shared Responsibility". The theme underscores the significance of individuals, countries and the global community uniting in taking responsibility to address HIV and Aids amid a growing list of challenges derailing ongoing global efforts today, including the Covid-19 pandemic.
This year's World Aids Day, the 32nd edition since its inception, will be commemorated under the unprecedented norm occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, which threatens to erode gains made against Aids over the years. A recent study by UNAIDS warned of a possible retrogression in sub-Saharan Africa caused by the pandemic.

2 Bleak times and the silver linings
3 President urges striking medics to return to work
4 Rwanda re-imposes Covid-19 lockdown in capital Kigali
It noted that the global Aids response could be set back if Covid-19 disrupts HIV services. Like its peers in the region, Kenya is racing against time to attain the ambitious global 90:90:90 targets as it ushers in a defining decade, during which the global community is determined to end Aids as a public health threat by the year 2030. Kenya is a part of these global commitments.
According to Kenya HIV Estimates 2020, the country has attained the first '90' and is inching closer to attaining the second and third '90'. The 90:90:90 global targets implies that by end of 2020, 90 per cent of people living with HIV should know their HIV status; of which 90 per cent should be on antiretroviral therapy (ART); and 90 per cent should achieve viral load suppression.
The 2020 World Aids Day commemoration is also the stage for the launch of the second Kenya Aids Strategic Framework (KASF) (2020/2021 - 2024/2025). This is a national strategy to guide the implementation of evidence-based priority interventions and create an enabling environment for scaling up high-impact prevention, treatment, care and support interventions in the country.
Developed through a consultative process, it builds on the achievements made in the implementation of KASF I, while providing guidance on priority interventions to be implemented to safeguard gains made in the Aids response during the unprecedented corona pandemic.
The current unique circumstances require stakeholders and partners to re-think strategies, re-imagine systems and devise new innovative ways to combat the two pandemics. Kenya's three decade-long battle against the Aids epidemic has been on a positive trajectory, thus provides interesting lessons that can be replicated in the fight against Covid-19.
Leveraging on existing infrastructure and adoption of strategies used in the fight against HIV to complement efforts already in place against Covid-19 would be a strategic move now. Placing communities at the centre of the response to mobilise and drive anti-stigma campaigns has always been a game changer.
A multi-sectoral approach has also proven instrumental as different sector players join hands in synergising efforts while harnessing different strengths in changing the tide against Aids. Besides, strong political leadership has ensured the Aids response remains a top government agenda. Thus, progressively, we have witnessed a steady increase in investments, with primary healthcare key in the management of HIV.
Funding matrix
However, as Covid-19 numbers surge, sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for almost two-thirds of the global Aids burden, is reeling from a shrinking donor envelope and support. The US, by far the biggest funder of HIV programmes in Kenya, is the hardest hit by Covid-19, according to World Health Organisation (WHO) figures. Europe, another important partner in the response, is also struggling to cope with increasing Covid-19 numbers, a situation that may further complicate the funding matrix as the global economy shrinks.
The effects of the global economic downturn will be felt for years despite promising Covid-19 vaccine trials, which provide hope that maybe, just maybe, the pandemic will be under control soon.
It's time to re-think domestic financing mechanisms to sustain the momentum towards ending HIV and Aids as a public health threat by the year 2030, and cushion the country against reliance on unpredictable donor support.

Roast beef, lettuce, mayo, pickles, gravy, and two types of mustard on French bread. The combination of tangy mustards and thick, rich, dark brown gravy is soul-soothing. The lettuce and pickles give the sandwich a bright crunch while the tender, hearty roast beef tears easily under the slightest effort. It's $12.50 for a large, but it also fed five of us. And with our Miller High Life in frosted goblets it was one of the more memorable meals of our trip. Simple, humble, just another visit to a classic eatery that's been feeding people from all corners of the world for decades.

What are Pagoda's and why they were built?
CountriesReligion & SpiritualityArchitecture & InfrastructureGeneral Topics
According to the ancient traditions prevailing in the countries like Nepal, China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Myanmar, India, Srilanka and other parts of Asia, tiered towers are built with multiple eaves, which are called as Pagodas.
These are used as the places of worship by Taoists and Buddhists while they also perform some religious functions and gatherings in these tower structures.
Buddhist Structures
It all started in the 3rd century when a dome-shaped monument "The Stupa", was built as a monument of commemoration and to store sacred relics. These towers can be solid or hollow but usually built using stone, brick or wood.
These Pagodas are associated with Buddhist temple complex. Buddhists made these structures to house relics of Buddhist monks and their sacred writings. They have become popular due to the Buddhist missionaries, pilgrims, and rulers.
Chinese Pagodas
Chinese Pagodas are a traditional part of Chinese architecture. They built solid wooden pagodas to add beauty to the view. These wooden structures last more than brick and stone. The hollow ones are designed for huge religious gatherings containing an altar. These structures are built as tall as three to 13 storeys having multiple eaves. They also have a huge staircase to enable the visitors to climb the top of this structure and to have a view of the city from there.

Cantino Planisphere, 1502, ink and pigment on vellum, 102 x 218 cm (Biblioteca Estense Universitaria, Modena)
The Cantino planisphere, made by an unknown Portuguese chartmaker, depicts what the Portuguese knew of the world in 1502. Unlike a map that emphasizes landmasses, a chart focuses on bodies of water and coastlines. The coasts of Europe and Africa are carefully delineated whereas the Americas and Asia are fragmentary; Australia and the Pacific islands are missing. Although the absences are striking today, this large chart offered European viewers groundbreaking new information. The Portuguese were pioneers in sailing from Europe throughout the Atlantic and into the Indian Ocean. Geographic information about overseas routes and trade opportunities was so valuable that the Italian agent Alberto Cantino, after whom the chart is named, smuggled the planisphere from Portugal to Italy in October 1502. The Duke of Ferrara had paid Cantino to gather information about Spanish and Portuguese navigation and the merchandise arriving from overseas.
In the fifteenth century, the Portuguese embarked on an extensive mission to explore new maritime routes. One of the king's sons, Prince Henry the Navigator, sought to gain wealth by promoting voyages to powerful African kingdoms known to have gold and enslaved people. During Prince Henry's lifetime Portuguese ships began to travel south of the Canary Islands along the western coast of Africa. These expeditions and the many that followed gathered the information contained in the Cantino planisphere. In 1498 Vasco da Gama's expedition sailed around the Cape of Good Hope at Africa's southernmost tip and reached India.
Detail showing the Caribbean and likely Florida (bottom and left side of the map) and Newfoundland (upper right), Cantino Planisphere, 1502, ink and pigment on vellum, 102 x 218 cm (Biblioteca Estense Universitaria, Modena)
The planisphere's depiction of the Caribbean derives from numerous Spanish voyages, including Christopher Columbus' first three trips across the Atlantic that began in 1492. In 1487 British ships reached Newfoundland, shown as an island in the Cantino chart's upper left corner, and Portuguese vessels visited the area in 1501.
Detail of Brazil, Cantino Planisphere, 1502, ink and pigment on vellum, 102 x 218 cm (Biblioteca Estense Universitaria, Modena)
Pedro Álvares Cabral's ships landed in Brazil in 1500, and Gonçalo Coelho's expedition explored more of the Brazilian coast the following year, allowing the Cantino chart to present the first known depiction of Brazil's eastern coast. Captain João da Nova returned to Lisbon in September 1502 after having sailed past the islands Ascension and St. Helena, shown in the Cantino planisphere correctly positioned in the Atlantic just south of the equator.
Although Vasco da Gama, Pedro Álvares Cabral, and João da Nova's voyages explored the coast of India and confirmed the subcontinent's triangular shape as depicted in the planisphere, the rest of Asia remained largely a matter of speculation. Sailing from West Africa to India required the expertise of local navigators or merchants familiar with the route. These men supplied the Portuguese with additional information about ports and resources further east. The Cantino chart relies on this information as well as older maps for its depiction of Asia.

Visualizing the world
The Cantino planisphere focuses on coastlines and how they relate to compass directions as indicated by the lines that crisscross the surface, called rhumb lines. This visual language stems from portolan charts, such as this one of the Mediterranean sea. This chart would have been used on ships along with log books that record the position of the sun and stars, winds, currents, geographic features, and other information that was useful for navigation. In addition, navigators used compasses and mariner's astrolabes—a tool that measures the position of the sun and stars, and enables calculation of the latitude.

Markers are indicated by crosses, detail of southern Africa, Cantino Planisphere, 1502, ink and pigment on vellum, 102 x 218 cm (Biblioteca Estense Universitaria, Modena)
Unlike portolan charts, the Cantino planisphere also indicates latitude with horizontal lines representing the equator, Arctic Circle, and tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. When Portuguese explorers arrived at a new site, they often erected a stone marker called a padrão and measured the latitude. The Cantino chart indicates the location of these markers with crosses. Despite these rhumb lines and latitude markers, the Cantino planisphere would not have been used on ships. Instead, it was probably admired in a private study, and shown to chartmakers and navigators who could use it to make other charts and to plan exploratory voyages.

Rife for exploitation
The text and imagery emphasize resources that the new sea routes made available for trade. Columbus famously attempted to sail around the globe to access Asian spices, and the wealth that could be gained from overseas trade also incentivized other voyages. In the planisphere, texts along coasts list the local merchandise that was highly desirable among European consumers. In Asia, these include a variety of spices and textiles, precious gems, gold and silver, ivory, and porcelain. African sites are described as being rich in gold, and as sources of fine raffia mats, parrots, spices, and people who could be enslaved.

The chart is biased in favor of the Portuguese who wished to dominate overseas trade. Standards placed along the coasts indicate which ruler has claimed control of those lands, and the Portuguese standard appears far more often than any other.
The chart also includes the vertical demarcation line of the Treaty of Tordesillas 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands (the strong black line that runs through Newfoundland and Brazil). In 1494, the Spanish and Portuguese agreed that everything west of this line belonged to Spain and everything east to Portugal, effectively giving Spain the Americas while Portugal received Africa and Asia. A few years later, the Portuguese used the treaty to claim Brazil. In addition, the Cantino chart incorrectly places Newfoundland east of the treaty line claiming it for Portugal. Large red letters label Newfoundland as "Land of the King of Portugal." This underscores how questionable European claims to lands were. Not only does the chart disregard the local inhabitants, but it also overlooks that the British, who were not included in the Treaty of Tordesillas, had explored Newfoundland before the Portuguese.
Subjectivity and artistry

Maps and charts are often viewed as objective displays of information; however, they require choices to be made about what to include, what to exclude, and how to represent data. For instance, on typical maps used today, space is distorted in a way that privileges the northern hemisphere, making places such as Europe and North America seem larger in comparison to areas in the south. The Cantino planisphere challenges some of the previously existing conventions for depicting the globe and organizes the earth's landmasses in new ways. A large and elaborate compass rose in Africa marks the center of the world. This rose intersects with two circles that are made of smaller compass roses—as indicated from the diagram above showing the rhumb-line construction. These circles divide the world into the western and eastern hemispheres, an approach to visualizing the globe that clearly separates the Americas from Asia, an idea not everyone had yet accepted.

For instance, Juan de la Cosa's chart, originally oriented with west at the top, asserts that the Caribbean is connected to Asia. La Cosa had traveled the Caribbean with Columbus and had also explored the northern coast of South America, which he depicts as a large green landmass stretching toward Africa.

Certain parts of the world are emphasized in the Cantino planisphere with paintings of buildings, people, and animals. Clusters of towers surrounded by crenellated walls and colonnades highlight three cities: Jerusalem, Venice, and São Jorge da Mina. While Jerusalem is central to the Christian religion, the other two cities relate to trade. Situated at the border of Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire, Venice gained great wealth as a mediator in exchange between Asia and Europe. São Jorge da Mina was a trading post established in 1482 from which the Portuguese interacted with nearby African kingdoms.

Regions that Portuguese expeditions had only recently made accessible to Europeans—the west coast of Africa and east coast of Brazil—feature the most imagery. Sierra Leone is marked with a lion in reference to the Portuguese name for the region, and clusters of huts appear throughout west and central Africa. Although it is unclear whether one of these groups of buildings is intended to represent the impressive royal city of Benin, a block of text describes the Oba (king) of Benin and the rich trade that the Portuguese conducted with this kingdom.
Both Africa and Brazil contain parrots, birds that wealthy Europeans considered exotic collectibles. Both regions also feature trees, a sign of their natural abundance. In Brazil, the trees suggest what will soon become an important export: Brazilwood, a wood that produces red dye and eventually gave the land its name. Spanish travelers had already noted the wealth of tall sturdy trees in the Caribbean, a valuable resource that was necessary for the construction of ship masts. With its focus on resources that are accessible to the Portuguese, the Cantino planisphere does not describe trees in the parts of the Americas marked as Spanish. On the other hand, Newfoundland is adorned with tall trees and described as having "many masts."

The only people depicted on the chart are in Africa. They include men and women and all but one are naked. The nearby text describing the purchase of enslaved people suggests that these represent people who have been or could be enslaved. By this time, the Portuguese were capturing Africans and selling them in Europe and to sugarcane plantations in the Madeira islands.
A dangerous heist?
The Cantino planisphere has long been described as an illegal copy of an official chart belonging to the Portuguese government where the newest geographic knowledge was recorded. This would have been a risky project since, according to a letter written by a Venetian living in Spain, giving foreigners information about new discoveries was punishable by death. Alberto Cantino wrote in a letter that he acquired the planisphere for the considerable price of twelve gold ducats. As a foreigner to Portugal, he was not supposed to obtain this kind of valuable geographic knowledge. Cantino smuggled the chart out of the country and presented it to his employer the Duke of Ferrara, Ercole I d'Este.
Recent research suggests that the chart's creation was less dramatic. With the great numbers of charts, logbooks, and people traveling across oceans, the influx of information was immense and difficult to control. Pedro Reinel, the creator of several other surviving Portuguese charts, may have made the Cantino planisphere and would not have needed to sneak into government offices to do so. [1]
Long-lasting consequences
Although texts along shores mention local inhabitants, the chart presents the world as available for Europeans to claim and dominate. Ercole d'Este I likely had ambitions of gaining access to overseas lands for financial gain, and copies of the chart were made that add new information and modify which European powers are supposedly in control of which lands. This white supremacist ideology fueled colonization and enslavement for centuries to come, the consequences of which are still present today.

ROBERT BIGHAM BRODE
June 12, 1900-February 19, 1986
BY WILLIAM B. FRETTER
Assisted by David L. Judd
THE EMINENT PHYSICIST, distinguished educator, public servant, academic statesman, and professor emeritus of the University of California, Robert Bigham Brode, died February 19, 1986, at his home in Berkeley, California. Robert was one of triplets born June 12, 1900, in Walla Walla, Washington. Following the example of their father, professor of biology at Whitman College, Robert and his brothers, Wallace and Malcolm, all became distinguished scientists.
Bob Brode's young life included not only science but also a general cultural education. During those early years he became a proficient flute player, contributing enjoyment to others and gaining personal pleasure for many years.
Leaving Whitman with a bachelor's degree in 1921, Brode went to the California Institute of Technology, where he earned the Ph.D. degree in physics in 1924. By so doing he took his place at the head of a long line; 1924 was the very first year in which this degree was awarded by Caltech, which was then, under the direction of Robert A. Millikan, developing its scientific program.
PREWAR RESEARCH AND TEACHING
Brode's first research, published in 1925, showed that molecules such as nitrogen and carbon monoxide, or methane and argon—having similar arrangements of their external electrons—have very similar cross-sections for collisions with slow electrons, leading to results that are difficult to explain using classical physics. Not until 1966, when modern computers to evaluate numerically the wave-mechanical analysis became available, were his results completely understood. From then on his early work was widely used in analysis of data concerning the scattering of charged particles at low energies.
Brode started his professional experience as an associate physicist in the Bureau of Standards. He held a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford in 1924-25, a National Research Fellowship at Göttingen in 1925-26, and a research appointment at Princeton in 1926-27. He married Bernice Hedley Bidwell on September 16, 1926.
Brode came to the University of California at Berkeley in 1927 as an assistant professor of physics and rose very rapidly to the rank of full professor in 1932. During these years he was energetically establishing his program of research in the growing department, continuing his work on interactions of slow electrons in various gases, a field now important in research on plasma physics. Workers at several European laboratories, in particular Dr. L. LePrince-Ringuet and Dr. P. Auger in Paris, were involved in similar research.
Brode was especially pleased to be awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for study in Cambridge and London in 1934-35, as he had developed a great affection for England from his rewarding stay in Oxford as a Rhodes scholar ten years earlier. He, his wife, and their two small sons also enjoyed a warm friendship with the family of P. M. S. Blackett of Birkbeck College, London.
During this period Brode transferred his activity from very slow electrons to very fast particles, the heavy components of cosmic radiation. He became enthusiastic about the scientific results that could be obtained by applying Blackett's techniques involving counter-controlled cloud chambers to study the specific ionization and momentum of these particles.
Returning to Berkeley, Brode continued these studies with a succession of students, starting with M. A. Starr. He reported on the design and characteristics of a magnet for cosmic ray cloud chamber studies in which the mass of the mesotron was measured by using a drop-counting technique in the magnetic field. With his student, Dale Corson, he was able to separate electrons, protons, and mesons and to measure their masses. In 1938, Corson applied the drop-counting technique to confirm the theoretical prediction that specific ionization for electrons should increase with increasing energy for relativistic mass above about four times the rest mass.
Brode was always interested in teaching both undergraduates and graduates. He was well remembered by many students as the instructor in the upper-division course on electricity and magnetism. He participated regularly in the Monday Night Journal Club started by Ernest Lawrence in the 1930s, often contributing reports of his own research and keen comments on the work of others. In the years 1930-43 fifteen graduate students conducted their research under his direction. During the intensely active period of research and development before World War II, this work resulted in improved equipment and analysis, contributing substantially to the development at Berkeley of a world-class physics department.
WAR SERVICE
Brode's work with cosmic rays was interrupted by the war. Going first to the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns
Hopkins, he played a leading role in the successful research and development effort on the amplitude-operated radio proximity fuse. When the Los Alamos project was established in 1943, among its many problems was the development of a fusing mechanism to detonate a bomb at a specific height above the terrain. New methods were needed because of the size of the explosion and the unprecedented level of reliability required, but the proximity-fuse problem had elements of similarity, so the project's leaders—many of whom had been Brode's colleagues at Berkeley before the war—sought his talents. Thus it happened that he joined the project at the start, and his wife and sons arrived a few months later. During his entire period ''on the mesa'' from 1943 until he returned to Berkeley in 1946, Bob Brode was in charge of the "fusing group.
Their early work was directed toward adapting proximity fuses and developing barometric-pressure switches. The latter program led to creation of a sizable organization that, in cooperation with the Air Force at distant air bases, used elaborate instrumentation to collect and interpret data on the evolving designs. Early in 1944 it became evident that the range of proximity fuses was inadequate for the increased estimate of detonation height, and that barometric switches were incapable of the required precision. Brode and his group then focused their efforts on a newly developed simple radar, which was tested extensively, using the experience and the organization from the earlier field tests. A large number of systems were dropped from barrage balloons in New Jersey and on dummy bombs from aircraft based at Wendover Field, Utah. An elaborate design evolved using several radars, together with banks of clocks with pull switches and barometric switches to arm the system after leaving its aircraft, all in series-parallel
arrays to guard against trouble from premature operation or failure of any individual component.
The planning and design began in August 1944 and resulted in production of operating units almost a year later. The pace of the work, like every other activity at Los Alamos, was limited chiefly by the number of hours each leader was able to drive himself and his team. Brode had recruited a mixed group of fourteen civilians, twelve reserve military officers, and thirty-seven special-detachment army privates recently drafted after obtaining college degrees in the sciences. In most accounts of the Manhattan Project the work of this group has received little attention, yet it was essential. The quality of its field work was praised by the commanding officers at each of the four sites involved, and the fusing systems on both bombs used to end the war operated perfectly. The group's dedication and skill reflected Bob Brode's leadership and the example he set. One of its members wrote, "No one could have had a more inspiring, demanding, and sympathetic boss under those remarkable conditions. Bob and Bernice were outgoing and hospitable to young people. They enjoyed the New Mexico ambience when time allowed, folk-dancing to all hours on occasion. Bob played the flute in the local amateur symphony. They were a sincere, sophisticated but unaffected couple doing all they could to help others and to maintain a civilized environment during times of great stress."
POSTWAR TEACHING AND RESEARCH
After the war, Brode resumed his teaching and research on measurements of momentum, specific ionization, and range of cosmic ray mesons. Using a cloud chamber in the field of a permanent magnet, he made observations of cosmic radiation particles in a B-29 aircraft at 30,000 feet. He also returned to guiding the research of graduate students,
supervising another twenty-two of them between 1946 and 1957, for a total of thirty-seven students, who have made significant scientific, academic, and administrative contributions. They included Dale R. Corson, president and chancellor of Cornell University (1969-79) and William B. Fretter, vice-president of the University of California (1978-83).
He continued to be active in undergraduate education; in the middle 1960s he assisted the U.S. Educational Commission in its mission to many European countries, and took particular interest in the awards of Hayes-Fulbright fellowships. From 1962 to 1965 he was the chairman of the Committee on Physics Faculties in Colleges (COPFIC) formed by the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics, which reported on methods for improving the teaching of physics in colleges.
A Fulbright Fellow in 1951-52, Brode was again able to work in England, this time on research in Manchester, where he renewed ties with physicists he had known earlier.
Robert Brode was a member of a large number of scientific, academic, and honorary organizations; in many of them he was sought out for positions of service and leadership. These include the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (vice-president); American Association for the Advancement of Science (president of the Pacific Division); National Research Council (chairman, Physics Division Executive Committee); American Association of University Professors (vice-president and other offices); American Physical Society (member of the Council); National Science Foundation(associate director for research); and International Council of Scientific Unions (U.S. delegate). He served on the board of editors of Reviews of Modern Physics, on selection panels for Rhodes Fellowships, John F. Kennedy Foreign Scholarships, and Fulbright Scholarships,
and on panels for awards by the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and the Institute of International Education. He was also an associate of the Carnegie Institution and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Washington Academy of Sciences, the Optical Society of America, the American Association of Physics Teachers, the American Institute of Physics, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Delta Sigma Rho, and other groups. He was acting director of the Space Sciences Laboratory at Berkeley in 1964-65 and was director, in London, of the University's Education Abroad Program in the United Kingdom in 1965-67.
ACADEMIC STATESMANSHIP
After the war Brode was increasingly sought out by his professorial colleagues at Berkeley to become a leading member of the Academic Senate. Brode was a firm believer in faculty self-governance at the University of California. During the difficult era of McCarthyism, when the university was rent by the oath controversy, he was a vigorous leader of the faculty, serving as chairman or member of its most important committees; his integrity, forthrightness, and deep concern for the welfare of the entire university community were widely respected. In these roles, and through the American Association of University Professors, for which he served as vice-president and in a variety of other posts, he exerted strong and ultimately successful efforts to restore full academic freedom.
Brode rendered long service to the university as academic assistant to two of its presidents, Clark Kerr (1960-65) and Charles J. Hitch (1972-73), as well as to the vice-president for academic affairs, Angus E. Taylor (1967-72). In this capacity, his wise counsel covered a wide range of subjects, including academic freedom, reorganization of
the Academic Senate, admission and enrollment issues, standards of peer review for faculty, and the changing status of the ROTC programs on the campus. President-Emeritus Kerr has written of his service, "Bob Brode was one of the great statesmen of the Berkeley faculty. He gave me the best advice I got from anyone. He was always the wise, active, devoted, unselfish leader of faculty opinion. He had the rare ability to be, at one and the same time, both in and above the conflicts of the day. His only agenda was the welfare of the university and of its faculty and students. Might there be more like him!"
Robert Brode's talents and accomplishments were rewarded by a series of scholarships, fellowships, and honorary degrees:
Rhodes Scholarship, 1924-25
National Research Fellowship, 1925-26
Guggenheim Fellowship, 1934-35
Election to the National Academy of Sciences, 1949
Fulbright Fellowship, 1951-52
Honorary D.Sc. degree, Whitman College, 1955
Centennial Award, University of California, 1968
Honorary LL.D. degree, University of California, 1970
The citation for the final honor listed above serves to sum up his career:
Brilliant physicist, talented teacher, scientific statesman, creative administrator, for over four decades you have inspired countless students. Your interest has ranged from slow electrons in atoms to swift mesons in cosmic rays. You have been many times chosen to guide the affairs of your discipline and have lent your wise counsel to your nation and to the world. You
have given unflaggingly of yourself in service to your colleagues and to your University. You embody the best of your profession, and we salute you today in gratitude and affection, and confer upon you our highest honor.
Bob Brode had a great fondness for Christmas music. At this time of year he often invited students and others to his home for a sumptuous buffet, followed by singing from the Oxford Book of Carols. For over fifty years, beginning with his arrival at Berkeley in 1927, he was an enthusiastic singer in the Monks Chorus of the Faculty Club, a group of faculty members who gather each December to sing at the annual Christmas dinners of the club. He recruited several members from the physics department and elsewhere over the years, and enjoyed regaling the Monks with tales of the Christmas music at King's College at Cambridge.
This very tall, large-boned, gentle, modest, and considerate man was decidedly a presence—loved and respected by all who knew him. He and his diminutive wife Bernice resided happily for many years high in the Berkeley hills in a distinctive house of rustic redwood design, constructed in part by Bob with his own hands, and later in a similar house nearer the campus. These homes made perfect settings for their gracious and informal hospitality to an enormous circle of colleagues, visitors, students, and friends, who continue to cherish their memories.

I just found this entry in my travelling journal from 1999.
Today, I can't imagine how cheap a flight would have to be before I signed on with an Indonesian airline.
Twice in my life have I had the kind of airplane landings that shook the luggage compartments open. Once with Air Garuda, as above. The other time, the airplane actually had to abort the landing and come around for a second try, seeing as the previous plane had failed to leave the runway. Or, so I hear. I was mercifully oblivious to the entire flight, lost in a Percocet/Alcohol wonderland.

The Brickey House of Prairie du Rocher Illinois
2 Comments	/ Illinois, Ohio
Nearly every town has an old house with an interesting story. Prairie du Rocher has several, one of which was the Brickey house. Unoccupied for many years, this large three-story, square-framed house with its wide porches, stained glass, shuttered windows, and mansard roof attracted the attention of the most casual visitor to the village. It stood among large trees of a generous plot of ground below the bluff, it silently proclaimed the hospitality that once was known there. The fine iron fence that enclosed the grounds emphasized its air of detachment.
John Brickey
Historic Brickey Home at Prairie du Rocher
To know the story of this old house one must go to the Chicago of the late 1860's and learn something of another building that Uranus H. Crosby built there in 1865. Crosby, a wealthy distiller, decided to contribute to the culture of Chicago by erecting a magnificent opera house. W. W. Boyington, a noted architect, designed a splendid structure that Crosby had constructed on the corner of Dearborn and Washington at a cost of more than $600,000 — a great sum for that day. It quickly became a showplace of the pre-fire city.
Chicago was proud of the new building. Crosby quickly learned, however that owning an opera house was expensive. In 1867, less than two years after its completion, he announced that he was broke and also expressed an intention of disposing of the opera house and 305 works of art through a nationwide lottery.
Elaborate preparations for the event were made. Some 210,000 tickets — each of them numbered and bearing a nice engraving of the opera house — were printed and offered for sale at $5.00 each.
These were sold within a few weeks, and on January 21, 1867, drawings were made in the opera house before a large and interested audience. The number drawn for the grand prize was 586000, and the owner of the winning ticket was Abraham Hagerman Lee of Prairie du Rocher.
There being no telegraph in Prairie du Rocher, a notice that Lee was the winner was sent to a law firm in St. Louis and relayed from there to Belleville. From Belleville, a messenger was dispatched on horseback to notify Mr. Lee. Before this messenger reached him, however, two men who had seen a news report of his good fortune in a St. Louis paper hastened to Prairie du Rocher to relate the good news or perhaps with hopes of doing some fast trading.
The two men found Lee reading to his sick wife. Neighbors soon heard the news and hastened to offer their congratulations. The messenger from Belleville arrived later in the evening. It is said that Mr. Lee answered the door in a long nightgown, and the messenger bowed low before him as he delivered the official notice. None of the messages, official or otherwise, seemed to disturb or excite Mr. Lee unduly. He even indicated a slight vexation and remarked, "I wish they had to swallow the opera house." But he carefully guarded his ticket while he continued to care for his ailing wife.
A few days later, when his wife's health had improved somewhat, Lee went to Chicago to meet Crosby, requesting at the outset that publicity be avoided. Lee indicated a willingness to sell his claim for $200,000. Crosby accepted the offer and paid that amount to Lee who quietly went back to Prairie du Rocher. Crosby once more was in full possession of the opera house, and he had profited to the extent of about $600,000 from the sale of lottery tickets.
Shortly after his return from Chicago, Lee built the residence that recently stood. Two years later he died in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the house was bought by F. W. Brickey, Lee's partner in the operation of the Prairie du Rocher grist and flour mill. Since that time it has been known as the Brickey House, noted for its hospitality and sociability and as a local center of culture.
Before his death, Brickey expressed a wish that if none of his children chose to make it their home, the house should be given to some charitable organization. In the event no use was made of it, Brickey asked that the home remain unoccupied or be dismantled.
The Brickey mansion long abandoned but still reflecting past glory, burned to the ground early Sunday morning, April 5th, 1970, ending a story which began with a lottery ticket more than a hundred years ago.
The fire was discovered at 2:45 a.m. when already out of control. Prairie du Rocher firemen concentrated their efforts in protecting business places across the street. Blazing sparks and debris were carried more than a block by the strong draft.
The Red Bud Fire Co. was alerted and arrived in Prairie du Rocher about 3:15 a.m. and remained on stand-by for an hour. The last of the frame structure fell about 3:45 a.m.

Hi, This is my article and statement from Memoirs I. The picture swap was corrected in Memoirs of s French Village II. One can order an edition by contacting me via email . Thanks !! 🙂

The publishers, in the original Memoirs of a French Village, switched pictures mistakingly labeling the old LeClerc house and Percy's Fathyer with the picture of John Brickey in his carriage aside the old post office which sat on the Theopyhlle Chateau property on Market street. This issue was corrected in Memoirs of a French Village II.

PAUG 2016 Database Designer Conference at Silver Falls
Julian Kirkness
Julian has been an Access user since version 1 and has spent many years developing and marketing Human Resources and CRM applications built in Access and Access Web Apps.
His first business started in 1996 with an HR application built entirely in Access 95. This business grew considerably over the years as did the product moving to a SQL Server back end and ultimately to a fully Web based solution. Selling the business in 2010, Julian had a period of inactivity (due to non-compete clauses) and about 3 years ago started looking for technology to build new applications and a new business.
He decided to use Access again in the form of Access Web Apps (AWAs) this time – because of the uniquely rapid development process, combined with the robustness of SQL Azure and Sharepoint. The ability to market the apps through the Sharepoint App Store was also critical.
He quickly became the first person to publish apps built with the technology on the App Store and so far has 5 apps available. For further information see http://software.kirknessassociates.com.
In 2014 he set up the Access Web Apps LinkedIn Group and is a regular contributor to this and other Access groups and forums on the subject of Web Apps. He is keen on photography, boating in its various forms and golf when time allows. He lives and works from a farmhouse surrounded by Orchards in rural Kent, UK.

Kevin Bell is a test engineer on the Microsoft Access team in Redmond Washington. Prior to joining Microsoft in 2008, Kevin was a partner in a consulting practice in Colorado that specialized in building software solutions for small businesses and departments in large corporations. Their primary development environment was Microsoft Access connected to a SQL Server backend. Over a 15+ year consulting career he has created a variety of custom applications from a management system for a small drapery shop with a hand full of users to a compliance tracking system for a large insurance company with hundreds of users in multiple locations.
Like many Access Developers, Kevin's career with Access started by accident. While working in Melbourne Australia for an illumination engineering firm, he started modernizing the company's testing reports using Microsoft Excel. Excel offered a rich presentation layer, but it wasn't very efficient at managing large amounts of data. Databases at the time lacked graphical capabilities and Microsoft's newly released Visual Basic lacked database support. Then Access 1.0 arrived, combining the best elements of all three, and Kevin was hooked.
Over the years Kevin has been a member, officer and frequent presenter at the Denver Area Access User Group and now regularly attends both the Seattle Access User Group and the Pacific Northwest Access Developers Group. Kevin is thrilled to be speaking at the 2011 Portland Database Designers Conference.

Baptist leaves the team for a health problem of his father
by LALASPORT 11/21/2019 06:01:00 PM
Spain's number two moved urgently this morning to Castellón. It had been used by Sergi Bruguera before Russia and Croatia.
Roberto Bautista has had to leave Madrid this morning, leaving the Davis Cup team. The world number nine has moved to Castellón due to the worsening of the health of his father, who suffered a serious accident in 2016 while taking care of the tennis player's horses (he is a great fan of horse riding) before the Rio Games. He never recovered.
Bautista, number two in Spain and planning to marry next week, had lost on Tuesday against Russian Andrey Rublev in three sets and won Croatia's Nikola Mektik on Wednesday. The captain, Sergi Bruguera, had full confidence in him to play one of the individual matches, after a season in which he has reached the best ranking of his career and came to be a substitute at the London Masters, where he trained in conditions similar to those in Madrid.
In May 2018, Pepe Vendrell's pupil lost his mother suddenly shortly before Roland Garros, but he knew how to recover.
With no possibility of replacing tennis players in Davis, there are options for the captain to use Pablo Carreño (27th) or Feliciano Lopez (63rd) in the quarterfinals on Friday (6pm) in the first game of the series. Marcel Granollers seems destined exclusively for the doubles.
The competition regulations do not allow changes to the equipment for any reason once the competition has begun. Therefore, Spain will have to face the decisive phase with four players. As the rules allow to summon five and Bruguera did it (other teams have only traveled with four), it has a mattress.
