Newie Ventures was born a couple of months ago, when the idea of a new, innovative parking sensor started to take shape inside Heath's mind. Wanting to explore that avenue a bit further, he got our team together and got us to work. Check out this page to learn a bit more about each of us! And learn about our capabilities here.
The concept has evolved somehow since the original idea and we want to be a part of the Smart City initiatives happening all around Newcastle. We can see the potential for Newcastle to have a dynamic, attractive and creative CBD, which is why we want to go beyond simply offering parking sensors.
We want to create solutions for better ways to park for the residents of Newcastle.
We want to work with the City of Newcastle to make it possible.
We want to work with infrastructure planners to turn our vision into a reality.
We have a lot of exciting things happening behind the scenes and we would love for you to be a part of it. If you would like to make your voice heard or to be in the loop about what's coming, sign up to our newsletter here.

SHREDDING- Attempt to define.
thinline72
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 7:31 am Post subject: SHREDDING- Attempt to define.
I apologize in advance if this term has been resolved on a previous post, to majority satisfaction. I've seen discussions on the positive & negative connotations of the terms shred/shredding/shredder throughout various forums and was intrigued to research it and hopefully provide greater clarity on the subject, as a community service (not to beat a dead horse).
In the 80's, birth of the term "shred" shared a chronological coincidence to the advent of sweep picking technique. A cross check of these two terms in Wikipedia online somewhat supports a relationship and revealed the following:
Shredding refers to a guitar playing style where technical proficiency is the major goal. It is a term that is most often connected to the music style of Neoclassical Rock. Tony MacAlpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Chris Impellitteri, Paul Gilbert, Rusty Cooley and Michael Angelo are considered to be examples of the finest shredders in this genre. Al Di Meola can be seen as a pioneering shredder player with his jazz-rock recordings with Return to Forever and solo albums released in mid-1970s. This playing style has become popular in other music styles as well.
Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal, and Jazz rock have adapted the style successfully. Greg Howe and Steve Vai are two examples of famous shredding players that became popular in 1980s. John Petrucci is the foremost Progressive Metal shredder. Ed Van Halen and Jason Becker are two prime examples of shredding blues rock players. Greg Howe is able to use guitar techniques that few others, to this day, have been able to copy. Allan Holdsworth (originally a member of Soft Machine) could be considered as another example of an outstanding shredder.
Occasionally, the term "shredding" is used with a negative connotation; in this context, it refers to playing with blind speed and technicality at the sacrifice of feeling or musicality.
When guitarists such as Di Meola and Holdsworth played technically difficult pieces during the 1970s, the term "shredding" had not been invented. However virtuoso playing from that era is also dubbed "shredding". Therefore, one could say that "shredding" was invented long before the specific term for it arose.
Guitar playing techniques commonly involved in shredding are:
•	Alternate-Picking
•	Tapping
•	Legato
•	Sweep-picking
Sweep-picking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.Jump to: navigation, search
Sweep-picking is a guitar technique that involves playing one note per string, moving the picking hand in a smooth fashion, in a single up- or down-stroke (rather than using alternate picking) while lifting the fingers of the fret hand to dampen the note. Sweep-picking is a useful technique for performing very fast arpeggios, and was popularized by Frank Gambale and Yngwie Malmsteen.
Excerpt from another online source referring to SWEEP PICKING:
Artists That Have Used this Technique:
Jason Becker
Bruce Bouillet
Chris Impellitteri
Toshi Iseda
Joey Tafolla
According to ALL the above, one may conclude, more often than not, that a shredder is a player who sweeps. Referencing Wikipedia's Shredding description only, tends to conclude a generalization of the shredder being a particularly fast guitar player. But when you consider the neoclassical rock reference, factor in their sweep picking description AND look at most of the names associated with neoclassical genre and sweep picking technique, a closer association between shredding & sweep picking develops. (Frank Gambale would be fusion shredder.)
Although someone saying, "Well, he's just a shredder." may still interpret out as "he just plays fast but has no feeling", it may also reflect an attitude on the part of conventional "pre-sweep" blues rock or more legato oriented players who consider sweeping to be sort of gimmicky and less dynamic in terms of nuance and tempo variance.
Knowing that the main emphasis of sweep technique is about greater efficiency and speed, makes these a given. But since no "left hand burnin' up the fretboard" gymnastics is really occurring or required, it isn't really "workin' fer a livin' bud", hence, "he's just a shredder". It's like comparing late 60's muscle cars with Acura's... "My '69 Charger is a real car, pal!" So some of the negative derives from differing, old & new schools of technique. "Hendrix didn't sweep pick, so why should anyone else?"
I wouldn't consider most legato players to be shredders. Players like Holdsworth, Govan and Eric Johnson may be extremely fast, but they are slippery, really use their left hands and don't invoke the sonic textural "shred" metaphor. Nor do alternate pickers i.e. Al Dimeola and Steve Morse-- sorry, not shredders. Satch & Vai, not shredders either (hybrids maybe)-- and neither is EVH. Hammer-ons & pull-offs have different consonant timbres than sweeping; y'know how "d" or "b" sound different than "p" or "t", or how a floor tom sounds different than a snare.
Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, Buckethead and early Kotzen are shredders.
It's possible the term "Shred" was arrived upon as a textural metaphor sonically describing distorted, extremely rapid, staccato arpeggios.
Malmsteen's utilization of a scalloped fretboard facilitates greater left hand expression and nuance-- so he steps out of the shredder zone at will. His attack is offset by a more liquid and elastic counterpoint, resulting in legato effect. Any other shredder with a trem doesn't get close to that level of finesse. So although one may still qualify Malmsteen as a shredder-- it would be ridiculous to call him "just a shredder"-- too much goin on there.
Summary: The term "shredding" seems to be more associated with distorted sweeping arpeggios than any other technique, and most likely came into use for describing the sonic effect of that technique. Also, in order to accomodate current Guitar-speak, the word "shred", within guitar context, oughta have at least 3 separate definitions; 1) Rapid distorted areggiating via sweep picking technique (fundamental), 2) High velocity playing approach (general use), and 3) playing with blind speed and technicality at the sacrifice of feeling or musicality (negative).
{The derivation being closest to fundamental def. # 1.}
With that said, I can now move on with the rest of my life.
I thought I'd save this post for The Great Kat's new discussion forum, but didn't want to hold my breath that long.
Next week, we'll uncover the history and practice of "Face-melting".
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 2:04 am Post subject:
Thanks for the lengthy and interesting post. I think I tried to cover this subject matter on another thread on the GG Discussion section. Like anything else, the term "shred" has its good and its bad connotations. It's been negative for many years and for a good reason: over 95% of shredders really don't have musicality, compositional or melodic sense, taste, feel, tone and all these other aspects that make it real and interesting MUSIC worth listening to.
Guthrie can surely "shred" with the best of 'em - yes, including sweeping arpeggios with a saturated tone, but thankfully, he doesn't ever shred for the sake of doing so. It really doesn't matter what people label Guthrie as. One either gets it or doesn't. But I did notice that it does take some people longer to get it. The ability to play real fast and shred is such a small part of the whole equation. It does take some time for some people to see all the other areas that Guthrie covers so well. I know quite a few guys who had originally dismissed Guthrie as "just another shredder" and are now some of his biggest fans.

Q: React JS : Migrate from server rendering to pure client side I have react project which was previously setup using node js server, and which utilises both client side and server side rendering and routing. I need to move it so that it uses pure client side rendering/routing. How do I go about doing that?
The server.js file looks like this:
var Router = require('react-router').Router;
var routes = require('./public/js/' + defaultAppName + '/' + defaultAppName + '.node.js');

app.get('*', function (req, res, next) {

  var location = new Location(req.path, req.query);

  try {
    Router.run(routes(), location, function (e, i, t) {
      var str = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(
        React.createElement(Router, i));
    });
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
    return next();
  }
});

The directory structure looks like-
|- server.js
|- gulpfile.js
|- public
  |- js
    |- app.node.js
|- src
  |-jsx
    |  |-app
    |  |  |-actions
    |  |  |-components
    |  |  |-reducers
    |  |  |-routes
    |  |  |-index.html
  |-sass
    |  |-app
    |  |  |-main

A: Remove routes from server side code and Serve index.html of your app for any url and let routing to handled by your application entry point. e.g
var static_path   = path.join(__dirname, 'public');
app.use(express.static(static_path));

     app.get('/', function (req, res) {
         res.sendFile('index.html', {
             root: static_path
         });
     });

Inside entry point of app e.g app.jsx
var ReactDom = require('react-dom');
var Routes = require('/path/to/routes');

ReactDom.render(Routes, document.querySelector('.any-place-on-dom'));

We'll fight to save our fire cover, says union
UNION leaders have vowed to fight to retain the third engine at Ellesmere Port Fire Station.
While there are no definite plans to reduce the number of appliances there, a possible cut has been hinted at by a Cheshire Fire Service boss.
Following the national firefighters' strike this year, Cheshire, in common with other brigades, embarked on its first Integrated Risk Management Planning (IRMP) process.
This concluded Cheshire is best served by the brigade shifting its emphasis from firefighting to fire prevention.
Chief Fire Officer Steve McGuirk said: 'In the first year of the IRMP, we will make moderate changes.
'These will see far more time utilised in making people safer by raising aware-ness, fitting smoke alarms, improving our incident intelligence and investigation and our operational response to incidents involving hazardous materials and the chemical industry.'
Existing standards of fire safety cover in Cheshire put great emphasis on response times to industrial and commercial areas.
But in the past seven years, 85% of fire-related deaths and injuries have occurred in residential areas.
The Pioneer asked Cheshire Fire Service what this change of emphasis might mean in heavily-industrialised Ellesmere Port.
Mr McGuirk's deputy, Chris Turnock, said the brigade was talking to the town's large petro-chemical companies about the shape of future services.
He said the brigade was also looking at Ellesmere Port Fire Station, which is unique in Cheshire and across the UK in having three engines.
This, he added, was an anomaly designed to meet the old standards of cover.
Mr Turnock said it has been 'some time' since a major incident in the Port required all three engines.
He added that most blazes can be adequately dealt with by the companies' on-site fire safety teams before extra engines were brought in from neighbouring areas.
Mr Turnock said: 'There is a resource sitting there that is not being used to its best effect. But there will be no radical change in fire cover during the first year of the IRMP.'
Dave Williams, Cheshire secretary of the Fire Brigades' Union, points out that the IRMP is a five-year plan.
'There will be another announcement on it next year, and there might be some radical changes,' he said.
'The public deserve to keep the same standards of fire cover in Ellesmere Port. We do not support any future move to go down from three pumps to two.
'If there was an incident at one of the petro-chemical industries in the Port, then by having three engines, there would be a better chance of keeping it controllable.'


If she wants to stay premier, Kathleen Wynne has to distance herself from the behaviour of her predecessor, Dalton McGuinty and his staff without destroying the party they've both led.
OTTAWA — If she wants to stay premier, Kathleen Wynne has to distance herself from the behaviour of her predecessor, Dalton McGuinty and his staff without destroying the party they've both led.
The job got more difficult Thursday with the unsealing of court documents that revealed Ontario Provincial Police are considering charging McGuinty's last chief of staff, David Livingston, with breach of trust. He got the boyfriend of another senior Liberal access to two dozen computers in the premier's office in the last days of McGuinty's premiership, according to police allegations, and had him delete a bunch of files. Including, it's alleged, loads of emails that would have shown what the McGuinty's team was thinking when it cancelled two gas-powered electricity plants outside Toronto.
The cancellations represented a crass act of opportunism by a premier terrified he was going to lose an election. It was locally popular, but it cost all of us more than $1 billion for no good reason. It was gross. It has also been thoroughly picked-over in the two years since McGuinty did it. Anybody who cares already knows.
The allegations against Livingston are not only new, they're worse. You can make a (weak) case for cancelling the gas plants, but you can't make a case for the mass deletion of public records.
According to the court documents, Ontario's thoroughly freaked-out top public servant, Peter Wallace, had a staff lawyer write a memo telling Livingston exactly that, in great detail. Giving an outsider broad access to government computers is the specific act the OPP allege was criminal behaviour on Livingston's part, and the allegation is that Livingston arranged it all precisely for the purpose of deleting the documents.
This is all very bad news. The question is whether it sticks to Wynne.
The court documents do not say that. They allege that the improper technical powers given to the aide lasted into Wynne's premiership but that the computers involved were accessed for the last time before Wynne took over. They also say that as part of the transition, the computers assigned to McGuinty's people were disconnected and taken out of the office as each staffer left. The proposition is clearly that the wiping was done by Liberals — but not under Wynne.
The allegations, it can't be said enough, haven't been proven in court. Nobody's been charged. But even Livingston's lawyer, in a letter to investigators included in the court file, acknowledges that Livingston's conduct "fell short of ideal record-keeping practices." He argues it's very hard to prove a deliberate breach of a public trust.
For a politician, that may not matter. Larry O'Brien was acquitted of charges related to misusing public authority but he lost the next election anyway. "Not technically criminal" isn't a slogan you want to run on.
A better comparison for Wynne, though, is Paul Martin. Handed power amid the sponsorship scandal, Martin criss-crossed the country to declare how furious he was about it and called a public inquiry. Instead of helping him cauterize the wound, Martin's anger at the misbehaviour of federal Liberals just convinced a lot of other people that they should be angrier, too.
In a short statement Thursday, Wynne distanced herself from the allegations without quite joining in the outrage.
But beyond that, she only emphasized her government's commitment to transparency and to co-operating with the police as the investigation goes on. Wynne's government has already produced legislation that makes it an offence to take part in the "wilful concealment, alteration or destruction of records," which would carry a $5,000 fine. Not as stiff as the criminal penalty for breaching public trust but easier to prove.
She hopes to be seen cleaning up the mess without drawing attention to just how big the mess is. It's her best chance.

Prerequisites: Legislation and the Regulatory State
Note: THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE FALL 2020 CLINIC CLOSES on 2/3/20.
The Legislative and Regulatory Process Clinic is designed to introduce students to the roles and skills of the government lawyer. The clinic will provide practical experience with how lawyers support the development and implementation of public policy by assisting in defining the available options and identifying and resolving issues before they become the subject of legal contention or litigation. It will emphasize what lawyers do and what they need to know in the policy arena in order to provide effective legal counsel, sharpening such skills as analysis, writing, advocacy and problem solving. The clinic will provide an understanding of government decision-making that will be important for those students intending to seek positions in the government and it will offer those heading to the private sector greater insight into the workings of government that often significantly affect their clients. While the focus will be in Washington, DC, and hence the federal government, both the processes and the skills required are readily transferable to state or local government decision-making.
Each student will work five days a week in a federal agency, congressional office or non-governmental organization. The objective is to provide hands-on experience with how governmental entities approach policy issues, including determining the appropriate response to an issue via various possible administrative actions (e.g., rule-making, adjudication, negotiation, interpretation, policy statements, enforcement, or drafting legislation); compiling an adequate record to support the selected action; evaluating private interest advocacy in influencing decisions; and analyzing and assisting in shaping the competing strategies to achieve the desired objectives. Within federal agencies, placements will generally be in the Office of General Counsel of regulatory agencies or related positions; congressional placements will generally be in leadership offices, with committee staffs or with non-partisan congressional agencies. Every effort will be made to assure placements that provide students with solid substantive work and adequate supervision. Placements will be dependent in part on a student's experiences and interests.
On one day/evening a week, there will be a three-hour seminar that will provide an understanding of how the political institutions (Congress and the Executive Branch) work, and the roles and obligations of lawyers in influencing that process. For up to one hour of each class, one or more students will discuss (subject to confidentiality concerns) their experiences in their fieldwork, especially the governmental processes in which the students are participating and the government actors with whom they are interacting. In the remaining time, we will cover over the semester: the scope of Congress' constitutional authority; the Senate and House leadership and committee structure(s) and their powers; how a bill becomes a law, including the role of hearings and mark-ups, conference committees, and the development of statements of administration policy; the budget process, including the preparation of the President's budget by the Office of Management and Budget and Congress' review and enactment of the budget, with its work on appropriations, continuing resolutions and omnibus bills, as well as tax legislation; congressional oversight and the Executive Branch response, including the exercise of investigative powers and claims of executive and other privileges; and ethics (professional responsibility), including issues unique to government lawyers; and, more generally, the issues of the role of private interests as examined through direct and grassroots lobbying, recurring issues of conflict of interest, and campaign financing. There will also be occasional extended (several hours) working sessions with government officials as guest lecturers on a subject of current interest or controversy. In addition, each student will be expected to produce a serious research/analytical paper, with a minimum length of 35 pages, on a subject approved by the seminar professor(s) that focuses on the legislative and regulatory process, or on an issue with which government lawyers are currently grappling. The paper will be due no later than the beginning of Spring Break of the semester following the clinic.
Students interested in applying for the clinic should submit the standard application, resume, and transcript online through CAMS by 5:00 PM on Monday, February 3, 2020. CAMS will open for submissions beginning on January 29, 2020. Application forms may be downloaded before then from the Forms page of the Clinics website in January.
Members of the Fall 2019 LRP Clinic will host an information session about the clinic on January 29, 2020, from 6:00-7:30 PM in Furman Hall Room 210.
Admission preference will be given to those with 2L courses in advanced administrative law (either process – e.g., advanced administrative law -- or substance – e.g., environmental law) and demonstrated motivation to engage in the work of the agencies or Congress. The application process includes at least one interview with the Professors. Interviews will be conducted on select days during the week of February 10, and notifications will be made by February 20, 2020. Note that students who are offered and accept a position in the Fall 2020 LRP Clinic will not be eligible to apply for additional clinics offered in the 2020-21 academic year.

John Proctor, Jr. (October 9, 1632 – August 19, 1692) was a landowner in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was the son of John Proctor Sr. (1594–1672) and Martha Harper  (1607–1667). John and his 3rd wife were tried on August 5, 1692. He was hanged on August 19, 1692 in Salem Village, Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Salem Witch Trials after being falsely accused and convicted of witchcraft.

Early life
John Proctor was born in Suffolk, England. When he was just three years old, his parents brought their family to America. They sailed from London, England, on 12 April 1635 on a ship called the Susan and Ellen.

Upon arrival, they settled in the Chebacco area of Ipswich, Massachusetts. The elder Proctor owned many properties and was considered one of the wealthiest residents of Ipswich. He had two shares in Plum Island in 1664. He also held various offices within the colony.

Adult life
Proctor was a good businessman, comfortable working with people from all levels of society. Around 1653, Proctor married Martha. They had four children: John (1653–1658), Martha (1655–1658), Mary (1656/57–1657/58) and Benjamin (1659–1720). Many people have given Martha the surname of Giddon or Giddens, but no sources have been located to verify the accuracy information.

Martha died in childbirth on 13 June 1659. Her death registry reads "Martha, wife of John Procter, died the 13 June 1659"; Benjamin Proctor was the only surviving child from this marriage.

On 1 December 1662, Proctor married Elizabeth Thorndike (1641–1672), daughter of John Thorndike, founder of Ipswich, Massachusetts. They had seven children: Elizabeth (1663–1736) married in 1681 to Thomas Very; Martha (1665–1665); Martha (1666–?) married Nathaniel Gowing; Mary (1667–1668); John (1668–1748); Mary (1669–?); Thorndike (1672–1759), married in 1697 to Hannah Felton, widow of Samuel Endicott, the grandson of John Endicott, the first Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony and daughter of Nathaniel Felton and Mary Skelton.

In 1666, Proctor moved to Salem and leased a 700-acre estate called Groton farm (also known as Downing Farm) in Salem Farms, the section of Salem Township just to the south of Salem Village. The farm was leased from Emmanuel Downing, brother-in-law to John Winthrop. In 1668, Proctor received his first license to operate a tavern here and the license was renewed annually. The Inn was located on Ipswich Road about a mile south of the Salem Village line. Elizabeth (Thorndike) Proctor died on 30 August 1672 shortly after she gave birth to their seventh child, Thorndike Proctor. Proctor's father also died in 1672 and he inherited 1/3 of the estate in Ipswich. His brothers Benjamin and Joseph inherited the other 2/3 of the estate. Each portion was valued at 1,200 pounds.

On 1 April 1674, Proctor married Elizabeth Bassett (1651–?), daughter of William and Sarah (Burt) Bassett of Lynn, Massachusetts. They had seven children: William (1674/5 – after 1695); Sarah (1677–1751); Samuel (1685–1765); Elisha (1687–1688); Abigail (1689 – after 1695); Joseph (before 1691 – ?); John (1693–1745).

Elizabeth and some of the older children ran the tavern while Proctor and his eldest son, Benjamin, tended to their extensive farm properties in Salem and Ipswich. If customers in the tavern had insufficient funds, Elizabeth insisted they pay with pawned goods.

Giles Corey became easily frustrated with his neighbors. At one point, he filed a lawsuit against Proctor who had suggested that Corey was responsible for setting the Proctor house on fire. Later, one of Proctor's sons confessed.

Accusations and trial
Initial accusations were aimed at Proctor's third wife, Elizabeth (Bassett). When he began to defend her and vocally express his disbelief in the accusers, fingers were then pointed at him as well. Although Abigail Williams was John Proctor's chief accuser, he was also named by Mary Walcott, who stated he tried to choke her and by his former servant Mary Warren on 21 April. Warren told magistrates that Proctor had beaten her for putting up a prayer bill before forcing her to touch the Devil's Book. Further allegations of an increasingly salacious nature followed. Proctor continued to challenge the veracity of spectral evidence and the validity of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which led to a petition signed by 32 neighbors in his favor. The signatories stated that Proctor had lived a "Christian life in his family and was ever ready to help such as they stood in need".

The Proctors were tried on 5 August 1692, found guilty, and sentenced to death by hanging. While Proctor and his wife were still in jail, the sheriff seized all of their household belongings. The cattle were sold cheaply, slaughtered, or shipped to the West Indies. The beer barrels at the tavern were emptied. Their children were left with no means of support. Proctor was hanged on 19 August 1692. Elizabeth, who was then pregnant, was given a reprieve until she gave birth, which came after the trials ended.

Accusations against other Proctor family members
In 1692, one hundred and forty-one complaints were filed. Of those, twelve were against relatives or extended members of the Proctor family. John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, and Rebecca Nurse were convicted, and John and Rebecca were executed.

John Proctor, husband of Elizabeth Bassett aka Elizabeth Proctor and the father of Benjamin, William, and Sarah Proctor.
Elizabeth Bassett Proctor, third wife of John Proctor.
Benjamin Proctor, son of John Proctor and his first wife Martha.
William Proctor, son of John Proctor and his third wife, Elizabeth Bassett Proctor.
Mary Bassett DeRich was the sister of Elizabeth Bassett Proctor.

Extended family:
Thomas Farrar Sr., father-in-law of Elizabeth (Hood) Farrar, sister of Sarah Hood aka Sarah Bassett
Elizabeth Hutchinson, wife of Isaac Hart whose daughter, Deborah Hart, was married to Benjamin Proctor, brother of John Proctor.
Elizabeth Proctor, daughter of John Proctor and Elizabeth Thorndike Proctor, married Thomas Very in 1681. His sister, Elizabeth Very was the second wife of John Nurse, the eldest son of Francis and Rebecca (née Towne) Nurse.
Rebecca Nurse, sister of Mary Eastey and Sarah Cloyce.
Mary Eastey, sister of Rebecca Nurse and Sarah Cloyce.
Sarah Cloyce, sister of Rebecca Nurse and Mary Eastey.
Esther Elwell (née Dutch), aka Hester Elwell, was wed to Samuel Elwell, brother of Thomas Elwell; sister-in-law to Sarah Bassett Elwell, another of Elizabeth Bassett Proctor's sisters.

Family Tree:

Related accuser
One other family member was drawn into the Trials, joining the accusers: 16-year-old John DeRich, son of the imprisoned Bassett, and her husband, Michel DeRich, who had recently died.

Aftermath
In January 1693, while still in jail, Elizabeth Bassett Proctor gave birth to a son, whom she named John. Elizabeth and her son remained in jail until May 1693, when a general release freed all of those prisoners who remained jailed. Unfortunately, even though the general belief was that innocent people had been wrongly convicted, Elizabeth had been convicted and was considered guilty. In the eyes of the law, she was considered a "dead woman" and could not claim any of her husband's estate. Elizabeth petitioned the court for a reversal of attainder to restore her legal rights. No action was taken for seven years.

In June 1696, Elizabeth filed an appeal to contest her husband's will. She testified in court that "in that sad time of darkness before my said husband was executed it is evident somebody had contrived a will and brought it to him to sign, wherein his whole estate is disposed of." The will had already been probated and assets distributed and she stated that her step-children "will not suffer me to have one penny of the estate, neither upon the account of my husband's contract with me before marriage nor yet upon the account of the dower which, as I humbly conceive, doth belong or ought to belong to me by law, for they say that I am dead in the law".

On 22 September 1696, Elizabeth remarried to Daniel Richards. On 19 April 1697, the probate court ordered Elizabeth's step-children to return to her the dowry as she was "now restored to benefit of law.

On 2 March 1703, twenty-one spouses and children of those condemned, as well as three women who were convicted but not executed, including Elizabeth, filed petitions before any action was taken on Elizabeth's appeal for reversal of attainder. They requested that "something may be publicly done to take off infamy from the names". Two more petitions were filed in June 1703. These included requests from eleven ministers to reconsider the convictions and restore the good names of the citizens. The Massachusetts House of Representatives finally passed a bill disallowing spectral evidence. However, they only gave a reversal of attainder only for those who had filed petitions.

In 1705, another petition was filed requesting a more equitable settlement for those wrongly accused. In May 1709, 22 people who had been convicted of witchcraft, or whose parents had been convicted of witchcraft, presented the General Court with a petition to take action on the 1705 proposal demanding both a reversal of attainder and compensation for financial losses. In May 1710, the legislature appointed a committee to hear the petitions. After many delays, on 17 October 1711, the General Court passed a bill reversing the judgment against the people listed in the 1709 petition and Governor Joseph Dudley signed the bill into law. There were still an additional seven people who had been convicted but had not signed the petition. There was no reversal of attainder for them. The bill read as follows:

The 22 people in the 1709 petition were awarded the sum of £578-12-0 to be divided among the survivors and relatives of those accused. However, reversal of attainder and monies were only awarded to the accused and their heirs who had asked for it. £150 were awarded to "John Proctor and wife, but Elizabeth's name was not specifically mentioned. Thorndike Proctor received money for his family's suffering. His older brother Benjamin objected as he had been the one responsible for taking care of his siblings during this time. The court took no action, leaving it up to the family to determine how to divide the funds. Most of the accounts were settled within a year. The award to the Proctor family was $1500, much more money from the Massachusetts General Court than most families of accused witches, a possible indicator of the wealth of the families involved.

Thorndike Proctor purchased the Groton Farm from the Downing family of London, England, following the hanging of his father. The farm was renamed Downing Farm. Thorndike subsequently sold nearly half of Downing Farm to his half-brother Benjamin. Eight generations of Proctors resided on the Downing farm, until 1851.

By 1957, not all the condemned had been exonerated. Descendants of those falsely accused demanded the General Court clear the names of their family members. In 1957, an act was passed pronouncing the innocence of those accused, however, it only listed Ann Pudeator by name and the others as "certain other persons", still not including all names of those convicted. They also included a resolution prohibiting further lawsuits based on old court proceedings.

In 1992, the Danvers Tercentennial Committee persuaded the Massachusetts House of Representatives to issue a resolution honoring "the courage and steadfastness of these condemned persons who adhered to truth when the legal, clerical, and political institutions failed them". While the document did list the names of all those not previously granted reversal of attainder, it only noted that these individuals were "worthy of remembrance and commemoration".

After many efforts by a Salem schoolteacher, Paula Keene, Representatives J. Michael Ruane and Paul Tirone and several others, when it was finally signed on 31 October 2001 by Governor Jane Swift, more than 300 years later, all were finally proclaimed innocent.

The Crucible

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, a 1953 fictionalized version of the trials portrayed as a theatrical play, John Proctor is cast as the main character whose story is centered around his powerful and unrivaled position in the society and consequential wrongfully convicted fate. However, the story line of the play diverges from his actual history in numerous ways, including:

 Proctor is portrayed as being in his thirties and Abigail Williams is seventeen years old, while the real John Proctor and Abigail Williams were about sixty and eleven or twelve years old, respectively, at the time of the witch trials.
 Proctor is revealed to have had an affair with Abigail Williams but he has a hatred to Reverend Samuel Parris because he is entirely materialistic. He hates him so much he does not attend church for many months. When they are discovered, Elizabeth Proctor discharges Abigail from the Proctor household and as a result, Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft as retaliation, as well as to get her out of the picture so she and John can further pursue their "relationship". In reality, Elizabeth Proctor was initially named by Ann Putnam on 6 March, alleging that Proctor's specter attacked the girl. She was accused by Abigail on 14 March, and further accusations were made by Mercy Lewis.
 Miller has Mary Warren accusing Proctor of afflicting her but this followed his initial accusation by Abigail in early April 1692. There is no historical evidence to suggest that Abigail even knew John Proctor before she accused him of witchcraft.

In the 1957 screen adaptation of Miller's piece, Proctor was depicted by Yves Montand. In the 1996 film based on the play, Proctor was played by Daniel Day-Lewis.

What Does the Jeremiah 11:11 Bible Verse in Us Mean?
Once the credits for Jordan Peele's Us start to roll, you'll likely discover that your head is swirling with countless questions. Without spoiling anything, the ending is bonkers (and decidedly vague). In fact, the only nightmares I think I'm going to have are about all the unanswered questions Peele leaves me with. (I need to know more about the origin of the Tethered, OK?) But fortunately there's one relatively simple question I can answer for us all without needing a Ph.D. in heady themes about free will, fate, identity, and the human being's innate fear of The Other: what does the Bible passage "Jeremiah 11:11" say?
Warning: SPOILERS for Us are below!
This specific Bible verse appears twice in Us. The first time is in a flashback, when we see Lupita Nyong'o's character, Adelaide, hanging out on the boardwalk with her parents in 1986. After she wanders away from them, little Adelaide passes a homeless man who's holding up a cardboard sign with the verse written on it in marker. The second time the verse comes up is during the Tethered uprising decades later. The same homeless man, now much older, has been murdered by his doppelgänger, who has since ditched the sign in favor of carving "11:11" directly into his own forehead. (Uh, guess that saves on paper?) He proceeds to stand on the beach, staring out at the ocean with a look of triumph (or peace, perhaps?) as blood drips down his face and hands.
As for why Peele included it, the verse could be seen as a warning from the Tethered that they were about to "bring evil upon" the people above ground, who they viewed as undeserving of their privilege. Red, Adelaide's clone, is driven mad with her desire for revenge, and explicitly states that she doesn't think the people above deserve salvation.
But there's another element to "11:11" that should be taken into account, too. The number pops up again at other points in the film, like when Jason points out the hour to Adelaide on a clock in his bedroom just as the electricity goes out in their home and their evil doppelgängers attack. The numbers are also mirror images of each other, which could be yet another emphasis on the importance of duplicates in the film.

Speaking of Displaced Communities
by Mike Koskiewicz August 30, 2007 August 19, 2021
The first thing I noticed about Jesse Mumm's extensive letter to the Reader ["A Pinata Can't Speak for the Community," August 24] about the lack of coverage of the resident Latino community in Logan Square [The Logan Square Issue, August 10] was that his signature contains the title "anthropologist." I find it humorous that Mr. Mumm states indignation about the frustration of longtime Latino residents being displaced in the name of gentrification disguised as diversity. I always thought anthropologists that were worth their weight looked at the entire historical record. Had Mr. Mumm did that, he would have found that the Latinos actually displaced an established core of Scandinavian and eastern European families in the late 1960s and early 1970s. So the term longtime Latino residents somehow hits a sour note with me.
In addition, the Cuban influence in Logan Square in the early 70s was perhaps more significant than that of any other Latino group. Cubans represented a large cross section of hardworking people in blue- and white-collar jobs and many who owned their own businesses early in that transformation. There were even some notorious incidents. That there were halfway houses in Logan Square for Marielito boat people taken in by the benevolent President Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s is an established fact. Back in the 1950s, Polish Constitution Day was a huge event in Humboldt Park drawing thousands of Polish locals. Flash cut to the 1970s and it became a Cinco de Mayo celebration. That Logan Square has gone full circle in over just a handful of generations seems lost on the anthropologist named Jesse Mumm.

Obiora Charles Ikelie Ofoedu (Obiora C-Ik Ofoedu; * 28. Februar 1960 in Port Harcourt) ist ein nigerianischer Schriftsteller.

Ofoedu, dessen Muttersprache das in Nigeria nicht als Amtssprache anerkannte Igbo ist, verfasste ab 1976 seine Texte auf Englisch. Er besuchte die Aboot Boys' High School in Ihiala. Er studierte Publizistik und Kommunikationswissenschaft am Institute of Management and Technology in Enugu und arbeitete danach als Lehrer, Herausgeber und Regierungsbeauftragter auf dem Gebiet der Public Relation. 1991 kam er nach Wien, wo er Publizistik, Anglistik und Politologie studierte, literarische und journalistische Arbeiten veröffentlichte und eine Theatergruppe gründete.

Nachdem Ofoedu öffentlich gegen die Umstände des Todes von Marcus Omofuma protestiert hatte, eines nigerianischen Asylbewerbers, der während einer Flugzeug-Abschiebung aus Österreich von drei Polizisten fahrlässig getötet worden war, wurde er im Rahmen einer Polizeiaktion neben etwa einhundert weiteren Personen überwiegend ebenfalls nigerianischer Herkunft verhaftet unter der falschen Anschuldigung, in organisierten Drogenhandel verwickelt zu sein. Erst nach drei Monaten wurde er aus der Haft entlassen. Seine Erfahrungen hiermit verarbeitete er in dem Roman Morgengrauen. Ein literarischer Bericht (2000).

Gedichte Ofoedus erschienen in mehreren Anthologien in den USA und Österreich, so in Poetic Voices of America  (1996), Daybreak on the Land (1996), Who is Who in New Poets (1996), Die Fremde in mir (1999) und Fremde unter Fremden (2000). 1997 entstand sein Theaterstück One Eyed Society, das u. a. im Literaturhaus und im Künstlerhaus Wien aufgeführt wurde. 1998 erschien der Gedichtband The Mind's Eye (in deutscher Übersetzung Geistauge im Wiener Czernin Verlag). 2001 übergab er seinen literarischen Vorlass der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek. Im selben Jahr wurde er als erster Afrikaner Mitglied des Österreichischen PEN-Clubs.

Ofoedu lebt seit 1991 in Wien.

The hackamore is a viable alternative to the bit that can be particularly beneficial when riding a young horse with a sensitive and developing mouth. It's also useful on any horse that has had a mouth injury or has trouble wearing a bit. Additionally, it's a valuable standalone training tool due to its unique way of applying pressure and signaling the horse that provides a fresh and different feel. When used correctly, it can add refinement to lateral control, promote lightness, and enhance self-carriage. For you and your horse to enjoy the benefits the hackamore has to offer, an initial adjustment to fit is necessary. Follow these set-up steps for your hackamore to function as it should.
Choose the right size bosal. Measure from the inside of the nose button to the top of the heel knot. A 10 inch will fit most small horses and ponies. 11 inches is for the average horse, and 12 inches will fit most larger-headed horses.
Shape the bosal to your horse. A well-made bosal has a malleable rawhide core that can be molded to fit an individual horse. Once it's been shaped, the bosal should apply even pressure around the horse's nose. A poorly fitted bosal will leave gaps and sit heavily on the sensitive nasal bone (which has only a thin layer of skin for protection). A well-shaped bosal will not bounce or rock as the horse works, and will never rub or scuff skin or hair.
Shape the branches of the bosal. They should be in contact with your horse's face, without squeezing or pinching, applying pressure only when you pick up the reins. They may need to be spread to match the contours of your horse. Bend the branches to enhance the signal your horse feels when you pick up the reins and create a quicker release. Bend them by pushing the heel knot and nose button toward each other. When you set the bosal on your horse's nose, put the curve of the bend toward your horse, so that the heel knot is positioned forward toward your horses chin.
Adjust the hanger. Raise or lower it so that the bosal rests on the nasal bone above the point where the bone tapers down toward the nostrils. Look for a raised area on the bone, the nasal "bump," as a landmark and starting point for a position that works best for your horse. Don't go below it or you can injure your horse. When the bosal is in the right place, the branches will rest alongside the chin groove with the heel knot below.
Tie the mecate. Here is an opportunity to fine-tune the adjustment of your hackamore. The bosal becomes more snug or loose depending on how many wraps you take and how tight you make them. Leave enough space between the wraps under your horse's jaw so that the mecate doesn't touch him when the reins are slack.
Tie back the hanger if necessary. Have someone watch to see if the hanger is slipping into your horse's eyes as you ride. Whether or not this is a problem depends on the length of the nose button and shape of the horse's head, and is not uncommon. If the hanger is getting into your horse's eyes, tie a length of thin strip leather, a leather shoe lace will work, to the hanger and position it under his jaw.
Now you are ready to enjoy the benefits of bitless communication with your horse.
Liked this article? Here's more on riding in a hackamore.
The picture is showing a bosal not a hackmore. They are two very different things. Please do fact checking before publishing articles. I find that articles in horse magazines are of a personal opinion and not based in fact.
You're right, i noticed it right away also, (not that it's too hard to differentiate between the two).

We may be living in the Information Age, but most of us can't conceive how massively informative it really is. The Internet is growing at a rate of 3.7% per quarter, for a conservative estimate of 330.6M top level domains by Q1 2017. In the past two years alone, humans have produced more data than existed in our entire history. How do we avoid sinking in a vast sea of data? We use information skimming.
Researchers once said that humans now have eight-second attention spans—the same as a goldfish—blaming time spent on the internet and social media. The eight-second attention span myth has been since debunked, but what remains is a misunderstanding about how we scrutinize information. Marketers all agree that when someone visits a website, that website only has ten seconds to grab that person's attention. It's no coincidence that the time we use to skim a piece of digital content is pretty close to how long researchers think we can concentrate. The Information Age has disrupted the attention economy, rather than destroyed our brains. Why we only allocate eight to ten seconds to a piece of content is about basic economics: Our time is limited and the market is glutted with information. You get eight seconds because we're stingy, not stupid.
Find out more about how micro-learning can aid your learners by downloading our free e-book here.
Google patents tell an interesting story about how we interact with information. Google attempts, through various secretive algorithms they feed their bots, to personalize our search results as much as possible. That's how they rank websites in the SERP—by what they "think" we want. These algorithms mimic our information skimming behavior. For example: How far down the page do we skim to find the information? That's how far the bots skim. How long do we stay on a webpage? The bots measure this. We skim hastily through the first paragraph to see if it's what we need. Bots do that, too. It makes sense that the bots are programmed to interact with data like us for the express purpose of finding out what we want.
While we speedily skim along content of any kind, digital or physical, we might come across snippets of relevant or interesting information. As far as attention span goes, those snippets require more focus, kind of like slowing for a pothole or stop sign when we're driving. This is the very reason that microlearning is so effective in the Information Age. Microlearning isn't just a workaround for our pitifully truncated attention spans. Microlearning is effective because, with smaller pieces of navigable information, we can customize our learning experience, the same way we customize our own learning experience as we skim digital content on a daily basis.
In the Information Age, information skimming is an evolutionary adaptation to content overload. We allocate eight seconds to content in order to find value or relevance in it. We have to–it's sink or skims. It's wrong to assume that eight second is all we are capable of, and microlearning proves this. Microlearning acknowledges how modern learners, who've been fully indoctrinated into the Information Age, interact with content by offering us a customizable experience. It works, as the worst thing you can do is waste our time when we don't have enough of it for everything. Hence information skimming.

The Last Chance to Taste an Icon of Scotch Whisky
Adnkronos 6 agosto 2019
LONDON, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- All good things must come to an end. Even the most exquisitely crafted things. Johnnie Walker has today announced that the latest release of The John Walker will be the last ever in this masterclass in whisky making. Only 330 bottles have been released worldwide as a limited edition - The John Walker, Last Cask.
This exquisite whisky is presented in a handblown Baccarat crystal decanter, with a bespoke design by Hand Engraver of Glass to Her Majesty the Queen, Philip Lawson Johnston. Every beautifully hand-drawn image decorating the bottles is unique, with no two engravings the same - making this a truly unique offering.
For over a decade, The John Walker has been crafted with some of the finest and most valuable casks of whisky from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker reserves. These whiskies are hand-selected from just nine distilleries that were in existence during the lifetime of Johnnie Walker founder John Walker (1805 - 1857). The whiskies are then matured with a special triple maturation technique, which includes a final marrying in a bespoke cask made from 100 year old oak staves.
In the expert view of Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge, this special cask, essential to balancing the flavours of The John Walker, will soon no longer bring the balance and depth of character that is so important for this elegant whisky. He has therefore decided to withdraw it from use, meaning only one final cask of The John Walker will ever be released.
Dr Jim Beveridge, recognised this year with the awarding of an OBE for services to the Scotch whisky industry by Her Majesty the Queen, said: "It has been a privilege to work with such rare and valuable whiskies to create the balance and depth found in The John Walker, and this beautiful new presentation is a fittingly elegant swansong for a superb Scotch."
The John Walker is intricately crafted using six exceptional single malt whiskies and three extremely rare grain whiskies that are expertly combined to ensure exceptional depth of flavour.
The process begins with a long, first maturation in individual casks allowing the specific flavours unique to each distillery to develop. A second maturation step then brings the single malts and grains together in two separate vattings, before the final marrying step.
For the first time Jim and his small team of expert whisky makers reveal the remarkable whiskies that are used to craft this elegant Scotch:
"We combine extremely rare grain expressions from Cambus, Port Dundas and Cameronbridge, which creates delicate flavours including notes of honey sweetness, subtle spice and soft fruit character.
"A vatting of exceptional single malt whiskies offers deeper, more robust aromas of dried fruits, with waves of citrus fruits unfolding from the distilleries of Glen Albyn, Cardhu, Mortlach, Clynelish and Dailuaine before culminating in the unmistakably warm and peppery smokiness of Talisker," says Jim.
The nine whiskies are then married in the bespoke The John Walker cask, allowing the flavours to mellow and integrate, providing further depth and layers of character. The result is a wonderfully elegant Scotch with flavours that slowly unfold.
The John Walker, Last Cask is bottled at an ABV of 40% and is available in selected markets from August onwards at the recommended retail price of Renminbi: 21, 835 ¥ in China.
About The John Walker:
Inspired by our founder, The John Walker is an elegant, triple matured Scotch crafted using rare whiskies from nine ancient distilleries that existed during the lifetime of our founder John Walker (1805-1857).
This elegant and refined whisky expertly brings together rare expressions from the now silent "ghost" distilleries of Glen Albyn, Port Dundas and Cambus, along with six of Scotland's most historic distilleries - Cameronbridge, Cardhu, Mortlach, Clynelish, Dailuaine and Talisker.This unique whisky is triple matured. A long, first maturation in individual casks allows the specific flavours unique to each distillery to develop. A second maturation expertly combines the individual casks and flavours into separate single malt and grain vattings. Finally, these vattings are married together to create a wonderfully balanced blend.
This last step employs a bespoke marrying cask, made by coopers from oak staves over a century old. The time spent in this cask allows the layers of delicate flavour to mellow and integrate, creating remarkable depth and character.
About Johnnie Walker:
Johnnie Walker is the world's number one Scotch Whisky brand (IWSR), enjoyed by people in over 180 countries around the world. Since the time of its founder, John Walker, those who blend its whiskies have pursued flavour and quality above else.
Today's range of award-winning whiskies includes Johnnie Walker Red Label, Black Label, Double Black, Green Label, Gold Label Reserve, Aged 18 Years and Blue Label. Together they account for over 19 million cases sold annually (IWSR, 2018), making Johnnie Walker the most popular Scotch Whisky brand in the world.
