The surprising secrets behind the origins of the Fuggle hop uncovered at last
Despite being one of the most important hops in the history of beer, the precise origins of the Fuggle variety have been a puzzle for a long time. Its genetic parentage has been a mystery, since it appeared to be unrelated to other English hop varieties, and the long-accepted story of when it was discovered, by whom, and when it was first launched turned out to be dubious at best. Now research by Czech botanists, and a Kentish local historian, has answered all the questions: it turns out that everything you have read until now, in every book and article, on the year the Fuggle hop was first launched has been wrong. In addition, the surprise answer to the exact parentage of the Fuggle hop turns out to be … well, read on.
The Fuggle is, along with the Golding variety, one of the iconic English hops, loved by brewers across Britain for more than a century for the flavours it brings to traditional bitters and milds. Equally importantly, the Fuggle hop has been widely used in breeding programmes around the world, and its descendants include some of the best-loved hop varieties of the craft beer era, including Cascade, Willamette, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and even the new German aroma varieties Mandarina Bavaria and Huell Melon.
The long-accepted version of the origins of the Fuggle variety was laid down by John Percival, professor of botany at the South-Eastern Agricultural College, Wye, near Maidstone, Kent, more than a century ago. Writing in 1901 about the first Fuggle hop, Professor Percival said:
"The original plant was a casual seedling which appeared in the flower-garden of Mr George Stace of Horsmonden, Kent. The seed from which the plant arose was shaken out along with crumbs from the hop-picking dinner basket used by Mrs Stace, the seedling being noticed about the year 1861. The sets were afterwards introduced to the public by Mr Richard Fuggle of Brenchley, about the year 1875."
Unfortunately, when researchers came to look at these claims in the 21st century, a number of problems were uncovered. Nobody by the name of George Stace could be found in the village of Horsmonden in or around the 1860s. Nor was it clear who of three different Richard Fuggles living in the area around that time was the one who had developed the hop that had taken his name: none of the three appears to fit the narrative very well. In addition, 1875 seemed too late for the hop's introduction, as it was already being talked about in newspapers from that year as an established variety.
George Stace Moore's cottage by the green in Horsmonden, Kent, where the hop that become the Fuggle was found growing in a flower garden now behind that hedge and wall on the right …
The first clue to a solution to the mystery came with the discovery some five years ago that Professor Percival had got the wrong name for the man in whose flower garden the first Fuggle hop was found. He was properly, in full, George Stace Moore, which revelation enabled his exact home, and his wife's name, to be identified at last. George Stace Moore (known locally as just George Stace) was 55 in 1861, he lived in a cottage with a flower garden on the corner of The Heath, Horsmonden's village green, that is still there today, diagonally across the road from the Gun Inn (now the Gun & Spitroast), and his wife, Mrs Stace, from whose dinner basket the seed that became the Fuggle hop fell among the flowers, was called Sarah, née Dadswell, aged 46.
Lionel Burgess, whose researches uncovered the facts about the first sale of Fuggle's hops, and the relationship between the Fuggle family and the Stace Moores
The important missing parts of that tale were finally filled in earlier this year by a local historian born in Horsmonden called Lionel Burgess. Mr Burgess discovered an advertisement from a local newspaper, the Maidstone and Kentish Journal, in October 1871 announcing the sale the following month by auctioneer William Tompsett of 100,000 bedded sets of "The new hop, known as 'Fuggle's Goldings'" on behalf of "Messrs Fuggle." This was the first commercial sale of the hop that had been found in George Stace Moore's flower garden, and it took place four years earlier than indicated by Professor Percival. Later, at least, Fuggle hop sets sold for £1 for a thousand, suggesting the brothers would make £100, less auctioneer's fees, from the sale, worth perhaps £8,500 today. (That means, of course, that November 2021, just two years away, will be the 150th anniversary of the launch of the Fuggle hop: if we can't get "Fugglefest 150" organised to celebrate that, I will be deeply disappointed.)
Maidstone and Kentish Journal, Saturday October 21 1871, p1: the Fuggle hop goes on sale for the first time
Mr Burgess was also able to identify "Messrs Fuggle": Richard Fuggle junior of Old Hay farm, near Brenchley, and his younger brothers, John (known as Jack) and Henry (known as Harry), who were running their father's former farm together. This identification also explains another small puzzle: why George Stace Moore did not offer the hop found in his flower garden to one of the several hop growers living closer to Horsmonden Green than the Fuggles. George and his wife were Richard Fuggle junior's uncle and aunt. Richard junior was the son of Sarah's sister, Ann Dadswell, who had been working as a servant for John Fuggle, father of Richard senior, at Old Hay since at least 1841, when she was 26 (it appears that she and Richard senior never actually married, despite having three children together). The family link also makes it likely—perhaps even probable—that the seed that fell out of Mrs Stace's dinner basket got in there while she was hop picking for her relatives at Old Hay, which would put an even greater obligation on George to tell the Fuggles, and nobody else, about the extra-special hop that was growing in his flower garden.
The 100,000 Fuggle hop sets put up for sale in 1871 were bedded out near the Maidstone Road Inn, Paddock Wood. The inn later went through several changes of name, including the Railway Hotel and the Hop Pocket. It was rebuilt in the 1950s, but closed in 2007 and later demolished. However, planning permission currently exists for a new pub and an apartment block to be built on the site. By coincidence, the site where Fuggles first went on sale is only a short distance from the headquarters of English Hops Ltd, the hop growers' co-operative, which is based in Hop Pocket Lane, Paddocks Wood.
In 1874 the Fuggle brothers dissolved their partnership as farmers at Old Hay, with an announcement appearing in newspapers that November. Strangely, the fame of their hop variety had already crossed the Atlantic, with several US newspapers, including in Vermont and Los Angeles, reporting in March 1874 that "Fuggle's Goldings" were among "several" early kinds of hop "which have sprung up lately" that English hop growers were planting as they expanded the acreage given over to the crop. Some time between 1874 and 1878 Richard Fuggle moved from Old Hay to Wittersham, a village in Kent around 20 or so miles to the south of Brenchley. He died in 1913, being buried back in Brenchley, in the graveyard of All Saints Church, where his grave can still be seen, alongside that of his father and mother.
The grave of Richard Fuggle junior, 1841-1913, developer of the hop variety that bears his name, hidden in a corner of the churchyard at All Saints church, Brenchley, Kent
Jack Fuggle, born 1845, died in 1877, aged 32, and the youngest brother, Harry, born 1846, died the following year, aged 31: both, like their older brother, are buried at All Saints church, Brenchley. However, it remains a puzzle why Richard Fuggle moved away from the village, and why he became so obscure, despite the success of "Fuggle's Goldings," that Professor Percival was unable to find him, and uncover more accurate facts about the origins of the eponymous hop.
The hop variety the Fuggle brothers first sold in 1871 continued to be called by some growers "Fuggles [sic] Goldings" (and often "Fuggle's Early Goldings," in recognition of their cropping a week or two before other varieties) until at least 1934. In 1884, when the hop was being advertised to growers in Worcestershire, in the English Midlands, the second great hop-growing area in Britain, it was called "Fuggle's Noted Golding." But at the start of the 20th century most commentators were calling the variety simply the Fuggle or Fuggle's hop, clearly feeling that it was too different from Goldings to carry the Goldings name.
That early naming of the variety as "Fuggle's Golding", incidentally, explains why the variety became known as Savinjski Golding, or Styrian Golding, when it was grow in Slovenia. In 1886 a local entrepreneur and activist, Janez Hausenbichler, from Savinja in what was then Austro-Hungarian Slovenia, acquired some Fuggle hop sets, at a time when the variety was still known in England as "Fuggle's Golding." As a result local hop farmers believed they were growing a Goldings variety, and the Fuggles grown in Slovenia became acclimatized under the name "Savinjski Golding." The hop turned out to fit the local climate and soil perfectly and even in 1964 the Savinjski Golding was the only type of hop being grown in the Savinja Valley. When Slovenian hops started being imported into Britain, certainly by the late 1930s, the variety became known as the Styrian Golding, most likely because Britons could not pronounce "Savinjski," and Styria was better known anyway.
Meanwhile, as growers and researchers teased out the relationships of hop varieties to one another, evidence that the Fuggles were wrong in naming their hop "Fuggle's Golding variety", and the Fuggle hop could not be related to the Golding hop looked to come with the discovery in 1949 by the Czech biochemist František Šorm of farnesene as a component of hop oils in some varieties of the hop plant, but not others: Fuggles contain 4 per cent or more of farnesene, Goldings have none, or at best a trace. Indeed, the hop oil make-up of the Fuggle suggested it was more similar to the German Tettnanger variety than any English hop.

However, early this year a genotype analysis was published by two more Czech researchers, Josef Patzak and Alena Henychová of the Hop Research Institute in Zatec, that showed the Fuggle brothers had been correct: their hop WAS a member of the Golding family, close enough genetically for either a mother-daughter or grandmother-granddaughter relationship. The Czech researchers tested 109 cultivars from the world hop collection at Zatec, and found that they fell naturally into three groups, "Continental European," including the Saaz, Tettnang, Spalt and Hallertau varieties, "Island European," including Fuggles and Goldings, and "North American." In particular, a dendrogram of genetic distances found the Fuggle hop sitting very close to the Golding hop.
Dr Peter Darby, research director at Wye Hops Ltd, near Canterbury in Kent, told me: "A few years back, it was suggested that Fuggle was more related to the European varieties such as Tettnanger rather than the British varieties of the time such as Golding. This was based mainly on oil analysis data and the fact that Goldings have no farnesene in the oil but it is a major part of the oil of Fuggle, being about four to eight per cent of the oil content. Farnesene is also a major part of the oil of Tettnanger, comprising up to 25 per cent of its oil. Furthermore, Fuggle was known to be exactly the same genetically as Styrian Golding and Czech Green Saaz and there was a little uncertainty about which was the chicken and which was the egg.
"However, several bits of information have since clarified the situation. First, WGV [Whitbread Golding Variety] was also found to contain small amounts of farnesene, with one to two percent content. But this argument that other historic British varieties contained farnesene was always countered because WGV has wilt resistance, which suggests strongly that it arose as a seedling of a US male being grown at White's Farm at Beltring. So its farnesene could have come in from the US father. However, at Wye our analyses of Colegate in our national collection, a variety selected in 1805, well before Fuggle, indicated that it also contains five to eight percent farnesene in its oil. Hence, farnesene does not necessarily imply non-British origin.
"But molecular methods have now confirmed Fuggle to be closely related to Golding. Four methods of molecular markers were used; SSR (simple sequence repeats), STS (sequence-tagged sites) and EST-SSR (expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats) and SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms). The relationship is so close that Golding and Fuggle are likely to be within a few generations of each other – mother and daughter or granddaughter. So, the story of Fuggle arising from a seed at Brenchley is perfectly plausible. It certainly will have arisen as a seedling where Goldings were also being grown, which is not the Tettnang region."

Today the Fuggle is struggling a little in the land where it originated: it has plunged from more than 75 per cent of all hop acreage in England at one time to less than ten per cent today, mainly because of the ravages of a disease called Verticillium Wilt, which first appeared in 1924, and to which it is badly susceptible. There is, as far as I know, only one farmer still growing the variety in Kent, Clive Edmed, of Hayle Farm, Horsmonden. (Update 12/12/19 – make that two six growers in Kent. The Fuggle hop is also grown by Hukins Hops at Haffenden Farm, St Michaels, Tenterden, and you will find the names of four more at the end of this piece.) But demand is encouraging more plantings of the variety: in 2014 the Hog's Back brewery near Farnham in Surrey planted Fuggle hops for its own use, and in 2017 Puttenham Farm, in Seale Puttenham, also near Farnham, added to its existing 5.66 hectares of Fuggle hops another four hectares. The same year the first hops were harvested from two new yards planted with Fuggles at Orleton Court Farm in Worcestershire, 12 miles north-west of Worcester, specifically for the Yorkshire brewer Timothy Taylor. They were planted on land that had not grown hops before, and was thus free from Verticillium wilt, and which stands above the nearby River Teme, meaning it is flood-free and thus not in danger of being infected from land upstream. Richard Fuggle's hop is looking good for a sesquicentenary celebration in 2021.
Supplier update: another hop supplier growing the Fuggle hop is Brook House Farm in Bromyard, Herefordshire.

Exemplary research as always from the Master.
It would be good to see a Fuggles revival (also Bramling Cross) as a counterpoint to the, I feel, current over-dependence on American hops (nice as they are).
Fuggles are especially good if you can get hold of really fresh ones. I once brewed a 6 hectolitre batch of a golden ale using only Fuggles which had been very recently harvested not very far from the brewery, and it sold out in just over a week. It had a distinct orangey flavour and nicely balanced bitterness.

Yes, there really aren't enough beers being made that showcase the Fuggle.
As an American homebrewer I wish I could get more Fuggle. When I do find them I usually buy several pounds but they don't last long. EKG are even harder to find over here. At least in whole hops form. I haven't had any of those in several years.
I used to pick hops at Puttenham Farm back in the 80s. Really hard work but enormous fun. There was a guy working on the farm, in his mid 40s (although hard to tell) who spoke with a genuine Surrey/Hampshire accent and had never been to London. He used to have a few Gales barley wines for lunch and then go back to work – we were advised to stay clear…. Cracking village pub too – The Good Intent.
Thanks for that, Simon, a great memory. You could still hear the Surrey "country" accent in Guildford in the 1980s …
Christopher Fairs
Yes; when I was working at weekends on a farm just outside Guildford in the 1960s (while still in the 6th form at school), the cowman had a very rural Surrey accent. It's something I had never heard before, or since.
An excellent article with plenty of detail.
Just a small point; I believe Orleton Court Farm (home to the Spilsbury family) is in Worcestershire, not Herefordshire. There is another village called Orleton, that is in Herefordshie, midway between Leominster and Ludlow. To add to the confusion, it has a Shropshire postcode (SY).
Thank you very much, and corrected.

Just found this fascinating article a few weeks late. A minor point of order. The Puttenham hop yards are in – wait for it – Puttenham, not Seale. The Hampton estate who own it are based in Seale though. I went to the Primary school next to the hop yards. Guess where our summer outing was to usually? About 20 years ago the landlord at the Good Intent told me they replanted from Goldings to Fuggles and as your article notes, they recently increased the size of the hop yard massively.
Thank you: corrected.

Q: Keys enumeration, not returning ASCII equivalent for all punctuation I have the following key handler:
void Form1::texBox_KeyDown(System::Object^  sender,
             System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs^  e) {
    //New lines in response to suggestion of using keypress
    if (Control::ModifierKeys == Keys::Alt) return;
    e->SuppressKeyPress=true;
    unsigned char chr = (unsigned char)e->KeyCode;
    //char chr = (char)e->KeyCode; //Gives negative 'values'
    if (chr < ' ') return;
    //else do stuff
}

This handles numbers and letters appropriately, but when I press any punctuation the KeyCodes go completely mental. Using signed char I got -66 for '.' and 190 with unsigned char.
I assume this must be due to something I messed with with Windows, please would someone offer a better way to handle textual keyboard outside of a Forms' standard document containers?
Keypress sounds good, will it work to supress output though? Maybe even 'Alt' detection (just to route the handy alt-F4 combo really)? Please see the two lines I added at method's entry point. KeyPress is easier than getting my dllimport to work, just need to handle arrow keys and page up/down, perhaps I need both...

A: If I remember correctly, the KeyDown event is used mostly for handling "special" keys, i.e. function keys, Home/End, etc.  KeyCode is the actual keyboard (hardware) "scan code", which is not guaranteed to be the same as the Unicode character value.
If you want the character values, you probably want the KeyPress event instead of KeyDown.  However, if you also want to handle "special" keys, then you will need both.

A: Keycodes aren't ASCII.
You probably want to use the KeyPress event instead of KeyDown.  The event args for KeyPress include the KeyChar field which has an ASCII code (or Unicode, but for ASCII characters the Unicode value is the same).

HRAPF Statement to the 66th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights
July 21, 2020 July 20, 2020 Kuchu Times Editor
HRAPF, on Thursday 16th July 2020, made a statement on the violations of human rights for marginalised persons during the implementation of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Uganda at the 66th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, Banjul The Gambia.
The statement highlighted the arrest, detention and torture of the 23 LGBT youth and the various arrests of marginalised persons during the period under the guise of implementing Presidential Directives on COVID-19.
The statement called upon the Commission to urge states to desist from violations of rights of persons based on their SOGIE, decriminalise petty offences and release prisoners charged with petty offences to decongest prisons as a measure to curb the spread of COVID-19.
In his response, the Chairperson of the Commission emphasised the need for Uganda and other African states to implement the Commission's Resolution 275 on ending violations of human rights for persons based on their real or imputed Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. He condemned the denial of access to lawyers and urged Uganda to decriminalise petty offences.
STATEMENT BY HUMAN RIGHTS AWARENESS AND PROMOTION FORUM TO THE AFRICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES' RIGHTS ON THE VIOLATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MARGINALISED PERSONS IN UGANDA INCLUDING LESBIANS, GAYS, BISEXUALS, TRANSGENDER AND INTERSEX (LGBTI) PERSONS THROUGH THE ENFORCEMENT OF COVID-19 MEASURES
Presented at the 66th Ordinary Session of The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights held in Banjul, The Gambia. 16th July 2020
Mr. Chairperson,
Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum (HRAPF) acknowledges the crucial steps taken by the Government of Uganda in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. HRAPF appreciates the decisive and timely measures, which have so far proved effective in controlling the spread of the virus within Uganda. However, we note with concern that the restrictions imposed have been deliberately or otherwise used to violate the rights of marginalised and vulnerable persons, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) persons on the basis of their real or perceived Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI).
On 29th March 2020, 23 youths were arrested from a homeless shelter for LGBT youths in Kyengera, Wakiso District, because they were all 'male' and were 'staying in the same house' and 'had for long been suspected of being homosexuals.' They were charged with 'doing a negligent act likely to spread infection of disease', contrary to section 171 of the Penal Code Act.
The 23 were subjected to beatings, tied together with ropes and matched off in single file to the police station by local authorities. 20 of them were remanded to prison, where they spent 50 days, before the Director of Public Prosecutions withdrew charges.
The withdrawal of charges against the 20 shows that the arrest was baseless, and the charges were simply intended to keep them in detention due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Like most persons arrested during the COVID-19 period, the lawyers representing the 20 were not allowed access to their clients, and it was only after the lawyers secured a court order they were allowed to visit their clients – 46 days after they were remanded.
While in prison, the 20 were subjected to taunts, frequent beatings, denial of toilet facilities and in two serious incidents, a warder ordered another prisoner to examine the anus of one of the 20 for 'evidence' of homosexuality, and in another, a prisoner was burnt by a warder with a burning piece of wood.
HRAPF is also concerned about the continued arrest of people for violation of the Regulations made for the control of the COVID-19 response, which regulations fall in the category of 'petty offences.' Over 2000 people have been arrested since the COVID-19 related restrictions started in March 2020. This has put pressure on the already overburdened police and prison cells.
Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum (HRAPF) therefore calls upon the African Commission to:
a) Urge the Government of Uganda to desist from using the COVID-19 situation to violate the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender persons based on their sexual orientation, and particularly desist from subjecting them to institutionalised violence in line with Resolution 275 of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights
b) Urge the Government of Uganda to ensure that non-derogable, fundamental rights such the right to a fair hearing and the right to freedom from torture, inhuman and degrading treatment are not indirectly suspended during the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic
c) Urge the Government of Uganda to decriminalise and declassify Petty Offences as well s adopt alternative punishments to petty offenders and those who violate COVID-19 measures in order to decongest police cells and prisons and therefore reduce the risk of spreading COVID – 19 in detention places.
d) Urge the Government of Uganda to respect its human rights obligations to ALL its citizens as provided under the Constitution of Uganda, the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights and other international human rights instruments.
I thank you Mr. Chairperson

For plugin developers, you can put language files in the : ~/App_Plugins/[MyPlugin]/Lang folder - any keys shipped with a plugin will NOT override the core default's if they match. Any custom keys shipped can be used as per normal in c# or js code.
For umbraco administrators: If you wish to override any values that are shipped with the core, you can now override these values without modifying the files shipped with the core. In the /Config/Lang/ folder there are now user language files named with a *.user.xml extension. For example: en-US.user.xml. Any keys that match the ones shipped with Umbraco will be overridden. Any keys not matching will be appended just like plugin language files. This will make it easier for admins to have any custom text they want for their end-users without having to worry about manipulating Umbraco files or re-merging them after upgrading.
Hurray will make package developers very very happy with this change, with me included!
It's a fantastic solution. Thanks!
One thing I noticed is that the xml files are not loaded (or merged) until after the administrator logs in?
For instance, I customized the login messages -- instead of "Happy Funky Friday", I changed the en-US.user.xml file to have a different value for that key. When I go to the login screen, it still says "Happy Funky Friday"...however, if I log in and then log back out, it now has my customized value.
But then, if I do a hard refresh of the login screen, it switches back to "Happy Funky Friday".
@Shandem Ok thanks, I see that is the case - if I instead customize the en-GB.user.xml file, the changes "take" on the login screen.
Also, it seems weird that the default entry in a new install is "en-US" under languages but then the default thread culture is actually "en-GB".
At this point, I'm mostly just curious if it can be done - since we can certainly duplicate our customizations from en-US.user.xml into the en-GB.user.xml file and I've confirmed that it works fine.
I have specified the desired culture on the root nodes and on the host names and installed a browser plug-in to make sure the browser is passing Umbraco "en-US" as the culture.
I have tried setting the "umbracoDefaultUILanguage" key to both "en" and "en-US".
Setting the Thread culture is something that shouldn't be done, it is handled by Umbraco. Also in app started, that will only set the current thread - every single request is a new thread so setting it there will have no impact on any user.
Pretty sure Umbraco does not specifically uses the system.web/globalization setting for anything.
The 'umbracoDefaultUILanguage' setting is the interesting one, i have to look into the core to see what it is actually doing.
The way umbraco deals with the 2 letter and 4 letter cultures is pretty ugly due to legacy reasons dating back to probably the first version of Umbraco. We plan on fixing this in version 8 but until then we are stuck with this strangeness. Each language file in /umbraco/config/langs has a real 4 letter culture (i.e. en-GB) declared in it's XML, even though the file is named en.xml :( In 7.3 when using your custom user files, each file is named correctly (i.e. en-gb.user.xml). So the 2 letter language version that is stored in the db needs to translate to it's equivalent 4 letter real language code which is done by seeing what is configured in these files ... as i said it's not pretty but it's the way it currently works. For the en-US one, we store the full 4 letter code in the db (similarly we'd store the full 4 letter code for any language that would have an overlap with another 2 letter equivalent).
I will get back to you about the default language but it won't be for a week or so.
As far as trying the things that I did...I'll admit I was just throwing stuff at the wall to see if anything would stick.
We'll just customize the en-GB.user.xml file for keys that show up in the "default" state and call it good for now.
@Shandem This is a great solution, but I haven't found anywhere how to customize the text for the login screen using en-US.user.xml Is there a tutorial (or documentation) anywhere?

Spare PC? Chinese Search Engine Giant Baidu To Rent User PCs To Bitcoin Mine
Matthew Tompkins | Nov 23, 2017 | 11:00
Baidu to launch a service offering PC owners the ability to rent out their spare computing power to others, bringing Bitcoin mining as a potential use.
The Chinese internet search engine giant Baidu has announced that they will be launching the PC renting service, named Baidu Jinkuang, to allow other users to take advantage of unused PC resources such as RAM, Harddisk space, GPU's, CPU's and also Broadband bandwidth. The name JinKuang translates to appropriately enough to gold mine, referring to the passive income that PC users could make from their unused hardware resources. The service is described as a peer to peer CDN (content delivery network) a system designed to help users especially in areas with poor internet infrastructure to leverage other peoples surplus requirements.
Hu Yongjun, CEO of the Huangpu Community, said:
CDN enables users to share their unused bandwidth. Bitcoin mining may be one of the uses but it could definitely help live streaming and e-sport platforms and generate hype to lure users as bitcoin is so hot right now.
Get Rich Quick?
Baidu has yet to announce how much money will be paid to users renting their unused PC hardware or indeed how much people wanting to use the service will need to pay. However, there is information on the kind of specs and considerations with regards to a hardware ranking system, with those deemed as "super miners" requiring a system with at least a 16-core CPU, 64 GB's of Ram with a 1 gigabit broadband internet connection.
Bitcoin miners in the past have leveraged the power of mining on cloud computers to earn either Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies which they can then go on to exchange for Bitcoin, some, however, have speculated that the era of cloud mining could already be dead.
Other Ways of Renting Hash Power
There are replacements for cloud mining, however, such as companies renting out hash power and offering a bidding system for shares of a network's hashing power. NiceHash has been working in this space for a while offering the following information:
Buyers are provided with access to massive hashing power on all major hashing algorithms. This enables buyers to use hashing power to mine any coins; the established ones or the new coins on the rise. The unique pay-as-you-go purchase model allows buyers to be completely flexible and bid on the hashing power in real-time without long-term contracts.
Quite how JinKuang could compete in this space is hard to see, with little information released so far from Baidu as to just where the JinKuang service could sit in this race to mine Bitcoin
Have you rented or rented out cloud mining hardware? Is there any Bitcoin mining potential in this Baidu announcement? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Possible Committee Markup Slated for `FASB Fix' Legislation

By Sarah Snell Cooke | April 26, 2005 at 08:00 PM | The original version of this story was published on Credit Union Times Magazine
WASHINGTON-Credit union lobbyists have expressed confidence that the so-called `FASB Fix' bill will advance through the legislative maze of the House of Representatives. In fact, the Net Worth Amendment for Credit Unions Act (H.R. 1042) may get a full committee mark-up as early as this week, bypassing the subcommittee mark-up because of the bill's noncontroversial nature. "Given the fact that it's got widespread support, they'll probably clear it through on a voice vote," he added. But, Brad Thaler, NAFCU Director of Legislative Affairs, noted that nothing had been finalized as of press time. He has previously said the bill is likely to make it on the suspension calendar in the House, which is reserved for uncontroversial legislation. The Senate is a little more up in the air with no legislation introduced at this time. However, Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) was interested in it for the overall regulatory relief bill he has been working on for the financial services sector, according to CUNA Vice President of Legislative Affairs and Senior Legislative Counsel Gary Kohn. "We're all fairly confident that this bill will move forward in the House and that Senate action could be potentially later on down the road, depending on what, if anything, happens on the Senate side in the regulatory relief area," he said. A hearing on H.R. 1042 was held in the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee April 13. Testifying were NCUA Chairman JoAnn Johnson, Financial Accounting and Standards Board Chairman Robert H. Herz, and Georgia Banking and Finance Senior Deputy Commissioner George A. Reynolds on behalf of NASCUS. Kohn noted the hearing "went extremely well. All the witnesses were strongly in favor of the bill and all the members that were in attendance indicated support for the bill." NAFCU previously submitted written testimony at the hearing (CU Times, April 20) and CUNA followed up the next day. In a letter to Congressman Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), chairman of the subcommittee and primary sponsor of the bill, CUNA President and CEO Dan Mica wrote to thank him and offered the organization's support for the bill. "Not revising the legislative definition of net worth would have a detrimental impact on the merger of two-similar sized, healthy credit unions, and would discourage similar-size mergers between smaller credit unions in favor of small credit unions merging into much larger ones," Mica wrote. "It is crucial for the safety and soundness of the credit union industry that the net worth legislation, H.R. 1042, be enacted by the end of this year." H.R. 1042 modifies the definition of net worth in the Federal Credit Union Act in order to avoid unintended consequences of accounting changes by FASB, which will eliminate the "pooling" method of accounting for mergers in favor of the "purchase" method next year. The pooling method allows for the combination of balance sheets while the purchase method would count the merging credit union's equity toward "acquired equity." The FCUA defines net worth as "retained earnings." Without amendment, the result would stymie credit union mergers because the continuing credit union would most likely be exposed to Prompt Corrective Action regulatory responses. NCUA was particularly concerned that it could potentially lose the cost effective method of assisting mergers of less-than-healthy credit unions with stronger ones, which saves the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund money. In her testimony, Chairman Johnson stated that if FASB's Financial Accounting Standard 141, which requires the purchase method, were applied to last year's mergers, $307 million of nearly $6.5 billion in capital would be wiped out for PCA purposes. CUNA's Kohn called it a "very important and timely piece of legislation." [email protected]


I wanted to get 50/50 custody of my child and was not sure of how or if I could since we lived in Alabama. Nikki prepared us for every way it could go and was very upfront. Surprisingly my ex wife decided to settle out of court and we got everything squared away. Nikki got the paperwork ready and made sure we worded everything just the way we needed to, to make sure I was protected.


Standard primate brain in which midbrain areas (older parts of the brain) control vocal emotional communications.
A duplication of a section of the genome leads to "relaxed selection" and extensive cross talk between many cerebral cortical systems (newer parts of the brain).
"Unmasked selection" fixes new functional coordination and drives the brain's anatomical reorganization.
Experimental manipulations in other species, in which projections from one sensory modality are reduced in early development, likewise exhibit analogous takeover effects, and manipulations of the sensory periphery likewise demonstrate that intraselection adapts neural functional topography with respect to functional experience.
First, they involve processes that produce functional integration and/or adaptation even though they are generated by mechanisms that are dissociated from this consequence. Second, they all involve the generation of redundant variant replicas of some prior form (gene, cell, connection, antibody, etc.) brought into interaction with each other and with an external context in a way that allows these differences to affect their subsequent distribution. And third, their preservation and expression are dependent on correlation with context.
According to Deacon, these parallels with evolutionary processes are generally distinguished through the level at which selection operates — and how these interactions generate functional redundancy. Specifically, he looks at three types of redundancy: (i) internal redundancy; (ii) external redundancy; and, (iii) global external redundancy. By appealing to the dedifferentiation and redistribution effects of relaxed selection, the tendency is to shift from an innate, localised function onto a more distributed array of systems.
That's it for now. I'm sure I'll come back to this at a later point.

Afghanistan: Defending Rights Important in Negotiations
(New York) – Afghan government and Taliban officials meeting in Doha, Qatar for the start of intra-Afghan negotiations should publicly commit to uphold international human rights, including women's rights, Human Rights Watch said today. The United States, European Union, and other countries supporting the peace process should use their political and economic leverage to ensure explicit human rights commitments and enforcement mechanisms in any final agreement.
Talks between the Taliban and an Afghan government-backed delegation, which includes opposition leaders and some independent civil society representatives, are expected to begin on September 12, 2020. The government-backed delegation has 5 women among its 21 members.
"Afghans who have endured decades of violence and abuses deserve more than vague promises to uphold human rights," said Patricia Gossman, associate Asia director. "All participants in any future Afghan government should commit to institutions and processes to uphold women's rights and a free press, end torture in custody, and ensure justice for abuses."
Taliban forces currently control a significant portion of Afghanistan's population. In many of these areas, residents abide by a parallel set of Taliban-imposed regulations that govern education, courts, and other services, and establish or reinforce codes of conduct. While there has been some progress on access to education for girls and women in Taliban-held areas, women have little or no opportunity to participate in public life. Freedom of expression and the media are tightly controlled. Implementation of Taliban policies is largely based on local Taliban commanders' personal views.
"While the Taliban have rolled back some of the harsher measures they imposed in the past, it remains difficult and dangerous for people to speak openly or voice objections in the areas under their control," Gossman said.
Afghanistan's constitution and laws enacted since 2001 include many human rights protections, including on freedom of expression and gender equality. Yet despite many years of donor support, the Afghan government has failed to develop institutions essential to providing justice, or to hold its security forces accountable for serious crimes, including torture, rape, and extrajudicial executions. The government has often rewarded some of the gravest offenders instead of punishing them.
In government-controlled areas, Afghan media play an active role in public life and participate in public issues. Yet journalists critical of the authorities risk threats and violence from officials, security forces, and government-backed militias.
Since 2002, in cities under Afghan government control, millions of girls have gone to school. Women have participated in public life, including holding political office, in greater numbers than ever before in Afghanistan's history. Yet these gains are partial and fragile, even in government-controlled areas. Officials have often failed to protect women's rights, and there is near-total impunity for violence against women and girls.
Taliban commanders and many current and former government leaders have been implicated in war crimes and other abuses. Afghan officials have tried to fend off an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) by asserting that their own national authorities can conduct credible investigations into serious crimes by forces operating in the country, including Taliban. However, abuses by government forces have gone unpunished, and some of the approximately 5,000 Taliban prisoners released as part of prisoner exchanges have been implicated in serious war crimes.
Human Rights Watch expressed concern that the parties may adopt provisions similar to the 2008 amnesty law or the 2016 immunity deal, which excluded any accountability, even for war crimes. International humanitarian law encourages amnesties for insurgents at the end of hostilities, but excludes those responsible for war crimes.
"The intra-Afghan negotiations offer hope for peace after more than 40 years of war," Gossman said. "But for a settlement to be sustainable, a future Afghan government will need to provide security, tolerate dissent, respect women's rights, and prosecute serious rights violations."

Q: Cannot set English as main language I'm using a yathesis class to write my PhD thesis.
I should use two languages like French and English. The main language should be English.
I tried \usepackage[french,english]{babel} to make a body of my document in English, but it doesn't work. Is anyone faced the same problem?

A: Section 8.1.2 of the manual:

8.1.2 Langues (principale, secondaire, supplémentaires)
  Par défaut, un mémoire créé avec la classe yathesis est composé :
  — en français comme langue principale ;
  — en anglais comme langue secondaire.
mainlanguage=french|english (pas de valeur par défaut, initialement french)
  Pour que la langue principale — et activée par défaut — soit l'anglais, il suffit de le stipuler au moyen de l'option mainlanguage=english. Le français devient alors automatiquement la langue secondaire.

Briefly, in English: if you want English as the main language, add the class option mainlanguage=english.
\documentclass[
  mainlanguage=english,
  fncychap=none,

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Ald. Pawar: End Of Lincoln Avenue Bus Route 'Flies In The Face' Of Expanding Public Transit Options
By Chuck Sudo in News on Nov 29, 2012 11:15PM
Ald. Ameya Pawar (Photo via Chicago47.org
Ald. Ameya Pawar (47th) spoke with Center Square Journal about the pending end to the #11 Lincoln Avenue bus—part of CTA's "de-crowding plan"—and didn't mince words as to where he stood on the subject.
Pawar said ending the route "flies in the face" of statements by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CTA President Forrest Claypool regarding expanding public transit options, and that CTA barely reached out to people who rely on the route before passing the plan.
"This idea that there was public input and public participation is, frankly, bulls-t," Pawar said. "Even after hearing from a few [area residents and businesses] to still arrive at the decision that they did, to me, seems like this was a done deal from the beginning and it's just a terrible decision. It shows that, at least in this instance, that the CTA and the Mayor's Office is out of touch."
Pawar acknowledged the city's bike sharing program, set to launch next year, could help some people navigate the portion of Lincoln Avenue that won't be supported by the bus route. Another project from Lakeview Chamber of Commerce executive director Heather Way sees the opportunity to transform Lincoln Avenue from a scary ride for bicyclists into a model for public commuting.
Way told Lakeview Patch the Lakeview Chamber is considering a two-year project to "make Lincoln Avenue the most walkable, bikeable commercial corridor that it can possibly be" and has met with an urban planner about possible bike corridors and maybe even protected bike lanes (!!) along Lincoln.
The Lincoln Avenue bus will end Dec. 16.

What Can Family Lawyers Do?
We all have our family and mostly as a family we live together some of us live without parents while some of us live with parents and siblings. Well No matter where you live but when in a home or a house there are two or more than two people are living than there must be such things happens due to which a disputed generates it is quite normal because none of us are of same nature nor none of us has the same thinking so a dispute is some of the thing which our mind does not accept the another person verdict or we are not willing to acknowledge another person point of view this is the time where a dispute comes now mostly we sort out our own disputes by ourselves while some of the time when a dispute become big and it is not sorting out by ourselves than a third person has to come to resolve that to avoid further misunderstanding which is actually leads to the breakup and end up of the relationship. In any culture, civilization or a country it is very normal and this is the only reason that every country having courts, judges and lawyers for justice.
In an addition, family lawyers are the ones who play a very important role in our day to day lives. Family lawyers Brighton are the ones who knows every of the things about you and your family and they also know every of the ones nature so this is why if any of the disputes came up in a family than family lawyers are there to protect all the rights according to the laws so disputes becomes resolves according to the law and all the misunderstanding become sorted.
Moreover, we can understand about the importance of a family lawyers be taking some example so let us take one example. Suppose you are living with your family and your father is a business man while your mother is school teacher both has earned and save money for the future and you as a young son who just have completed the higher education and instead of seeking a job you decided to do a business but you do not enough funds and you requested your patents to borrow some funds but they have denied and there is no any other resource to where you can get the money take this as example because I knew there are several banks who offers loans for business but just to make a valid example.
So, In this case according to law you have the part of some money from your parents money but you do not know how to take that according to law so now your family lawyer would help you out because family lawyers knows about every of the things by which you can take the part of their money on several valid points as a loan and also your parents worries about the loss and to pay the additional taxes were saved also so in this way you can get the money by your parent happily because family lawyers knows the way. So it is highly recommended to choose and keep the best family lawyers.

Tracks of Giants: Hiking the Skeleton Coast
by Vance Martin | May 17, 2012
1 May 2012 wake-up call at 0500 – it was very dark and damp on the little promontory of Rocky Point, jutting into the Atlantic Ocean on Namibia's Skeleton Coast. After years of discussion, an announcement of intention during WILD9 (Mexico, 2009), and two years of planning, Tracks of Giants was finally on its way.
There was a palpable sense of anticipation and slight nervousness. Everyone was anxious to get going so packing was quick, and followed by even quicker breakfast of cereal and rusks with some hot tea. Suddenly it was time, and the banner was unfurled in the mist and the bobbing lights of headlamps – cameras whirred and flashed. As the initial hiking team of 11 of us tromped off into the sand to the wonderful, soft sound of Frank Raimondo's harmonica, there was a faint, rose-colored strip of light across the desert horizon to the east. Tier, Chris Bakkes' feisty and famous 7 year old Jack Russell, gave a few excited barks and ran off ahead of us. The back-up team stayed behind to pack and do the return journey to the base camp at Purros. The 5000 km journey across Southern Africa had begun.
The hikers moved out, and our wilderness trail started with a 14km trek south to the mouth of the Horuseb River, the largest of Namibia's west-flowing, seasonal rivers that drain into the Atlantic. We set a fast pace across loose sand, working off the nervousness and settling into our packs.
As the eastern sky lightened, the sun finally started to glint off the rollers and whitecaps to the west, and the mist cleared. The Skeleton Coast of NW Namibia is a fabled and mysterious strip of ancient desert along the Atlantic Ocean. The cold, north flowing Benguella current comes directly from Antarctica and hits the arid western coast of South Africa and Namibia, often generating a thick marine layer of fog and mist that has been the cause of many shipwrecks along its shores…hence, its name. The Benguella is also a nutrient rich current, supporting a significant commercial fishery and numerous, huge colonies of Cape Fur seals along the coast.
It's one of the most unusual ecosystems in the world, and endlessly fascinating. As we hiked south we saw ample, fresh tracks of the brown hyena, readily identified by the clawed, large front paw print with a smaller, hind paw print right next to it. Often cris-crossing these spoor were lots of smaller tracks of the fox-like, Black-backed jackel. These predators and scavengers exist off the Cape Fur seals, snatching young from the fringes of the huge colonies, and feeding on the many carcasses that wash up on the beach.
Namibia is a remarkable country and unusual country with a commitment to nature conservation. 42% of its land is under some sort of formal protection, with good ecological connectivity, making it a superb, global example of Nature Needs Half. It is also the only country in the world whose entire coastline is under formal conservation protection. Yes, there are still many issues and challenges, but it is rightly a remarkable example of nature conservation and a true, global model.
We first identified the Horuseb mouth by the towering sand dunes along its southern bank, and we finally arrived there by mid-late morning. The weather was clear and the sun warm, but the cool ocean breeze was perfect. Packs off, we sat in a loose circle for our "indaba," the traditional Zulu gathering where stories are told and issues clarified. This is the way that every Wilderness Leadership Schooltrail begins, with each trailist taking as much time as they need to share who they are and why they are on the trail. This is just one of the many ways that makes a WLS experience more than an adventure hike, with all the normal excitement and banter. It is also and most importantly an inner journey, in which discovery is both around and within each person. In wild nature is the perfect place to better understand your own personal nature.

Noël J-M Raynal, M.Sc., Ph.D.
Noël Raynal is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmacology of the Université de Montréal since July 2013, and his laboratory is based at Sainte-Justine Hospital Research Center. Dr Raynal completed his PhD focusing on epigenetic pharmacology of cancer at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier under the supervision of Dr Charbonneau and Dr Momparler. Then, he completed his postdoctoral fellowship focusing on the discovery of new epigenetic drugs in the laboratory of Dr Jean-Pierre J. Issa at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston (Texas) and then at the Fels Institute for Molecular Biology and Cancer Research in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). His work has led to several publications and the discovery of new epigenetic drugs. In addition, he discovered a new epigenetic combination which he and his colleagues brought into a phase I/IIa clinical trial.
As a new investigator, Dr Raynal's research program is focused on targeting epigenetic aberrations to improve the treatment of pediatric leukemia. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that are not related to changes in DNA sequence. These modifications, such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation and methylation are altered in pediatric leukemia. Interestingly, pediatric leukemia is characterized by several mutations in genes involved in several epigenetic pathways. These alterations trigger epigenomic modifications and represent potential targets to improve the treatment of pediatric leukemia. Thanks to the Cole Foundation transition grant, Dr Raynal's laboratory will investigate the effects and the molecular mechanism of action of new epigenetic drug combinations against pediatric leukemia using several preclinical models. The long-term goal is to better understand epigenetic modifications in pediatric leukemia and to develop new targeted epigenetic therapies to improve efficacy of the treatments.


National Guard called in to distribute hot plates, space heaters as temperatures decrease over fall.
Columbia Gas officials said Friday that it will be two months before all residents of Lawrence, Andover and North Andover affected by last week's explosions and fires have their service restored.
The company said gas service will be restored to all of the roughly 8,600 affected customers by Nov. 19 as they work to replace 48 miles of pipeline. The Sept. 13 disaster killed one person, injured 25 others and damaged or destroyed dozens of homes and businesses in the three communities.
People in Merrimack Valley are frustrated after Columbia Gas said restoring gas service after last week's explosions would take two months.

'Food is Medicine' program delivers boxes of healthy food to people in need in Marion County
Posted: Sep 8, 2021 / 05:00 PM EDT / Updated: Sep 8, 2021 / 06:07 PM EDT
INDIANAPOLIS – Healthy food right to your doorstep. That's the mission of a program in Marion County that's helping people who lack access to nutritious food and who suffer from chronic health conditions.
"Some individuals receive boxes weekly from us and they really look forward to seeing the Gleaners driver come deliver that food to the door," said Sarah Wilson, the Nutrition Manager for Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana.
It's part of the Food is Medicine program, a partnership with Eskenazi Health, Gleaners Food Bank and Anthem Foundation. Through January, they hope to serve more than 2,000 food boxes, giving families one less worry on their plate.

"We understand that a lot of our neighbors aren't just dealing with a lack of nutritious food, but they may also be dealing with chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure or heart disease and managing both at the same time, in addition to other concerns with everyday living – we want to make it as easy as possible," Wilson added.
Patients first have to be screened for food insecurity by Eskenazi Health. Then, they're referred by a dietician, so their doctor can help decide what food box would be the best fit.
"We have a standard box, we have a gluten-free box, and we have a vegetarian box," said Wilson.
Along with the food, comes the hope to narrow the life expectancy gap. Doctor Deanna Reinoso with Eskenazi Health says this is a creative way to address the issue.
"Here in the Indianapolis metropolitan area there's a 16.8 life expectancy gap from the zip codes up in the Fishers area down to downtown Indianapolis," said Reinoso. "We know that food contributes to chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension, many of the illnesses that shorten our life span."
To fix this, the program not only offers food but access to resources, professionals, and virtual cooking tips to help guide patients on their journey towards good health.

"How can we creatively narrow that gap so that every individual in our community has access to the foods that will help them live a long and healthy life?" said Reinoso.
Wilson added, "Our goal is to hopefully help people, not need us as often, but we're here if they do need us."
Gleaners is part of the nationwide Feeding America effort and CBS4's parent company Nexstar Media has committed to two million in donations and television air-time to help support the effort over the next two years.

Jane's husband had died when the sons were children. Now it was 1916. The three sons were fighting a war in Europe, but she didn't know exactly where.
Jane was looking after son Richard's farm. When her three sons left New Zealand for war overseas, she said she'd manage Richard's farm. What a learning experience! She'd never milked a cow in her life. She'd never shorn a sheep or ploughed a field.
Then came the news of her first son to die, Henry. Jane was grief stricken, but went on farming Richard's farm. Now she wore black.
Then came the news of her second son to die, George. Jane was grief stricken, but went on farming Richard's farm. She would have the farm running well for him when he came home from war.
Then came the news of her third son to die, Richard. All children gone. There were no graves to visit – too far away and overseas; no funerals to attend.
Jane went out to milk the cow and feed the chickens. How still the summer morning. How long the days to come.

I really grew as a pianist while studying in her studio and I will forever be grateful for her hard work and the patience she had while teaching me piano.

Diego Brandao on Will Chope and fight cancellation: 'I've made mistakes too'
March 23, 2014 12:30 pm ET
NATAL, Brazil – Diego Brandao had prepared himself for hand-to-hand combat. Instead, just hours before he was supposed to face Will Chope today at UFC Fight Night 38, he was hanging out in a beachside pool, doing his best to enjoy an otherwise frustrating situation.
"I really wanted to fight," Brandao told MMAjunkie. "I was ready."
Brandao's bout was canceled at the last minute when a few unsavory details from Chope's past came to light, and the promotion elected to terminate his contract. Brandao (18-9 MMA, 4-2 UFC) admitted he feels some sympathy for Chope (19-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) but understands the UFC's decision.
"I'm disappointed, but I have to say thanks to God for taking me here to Brazil," said Brandao, who will be paid his "show" and "win" money. "I feel for Chope. I know he worked hard for this moment. I worked hard for this fight, too. But he had a bad moment in his life, and this is the UFC. You can't make mistakes and expect to stay in the UFC. That's why I thank God every day that I have this opportunity because I've made mistakes, too. But from now on, I'm never going to make those mistakes. I'm only going to learn from the mistakes of others."
Brandao said he still plans to attend tonight's card at Ginasio Nelio Dias in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, but he'll watch the fights from a VIP seat rather than the locker room. And while he's going to enjoy a few days off in his native country, Brandao said he'll be back in the gym next week and hopes that UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby will book him for a June UFC Fight Night event in his newly adopted hometown of San Antonio.
"I'll be back in my home in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday, and I'll start training right away," Brandao said. "The UFC is going to San Antonio, and I'm going to ask all my fans to let Sean Shelby know to put me to fight on that card."
Based on the timing of the June 28 event and the location, the booking seems to be a bit of a no-brainer for the promotion. Who he could potentially meet remains to be seen, but if it were up to Brandao, it would be a rematch of his UFC 168 loss to Dustin Poirier (15-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC).
"I'd like to fight Poirier," Brandao said. "He disrespected me.
"I want you, Poirier, and I know I'll knock you out. You know that, too."
