Perhaps the most famous example of such an attack is Pickett's Charge. On July 3, 1863, (the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg), Robert E. Lee decided that victory for the Army of Northern Virginia lay in a direct frontal assault across 1 mile of open grassland at the strong Union center. He sent 12,000 men from 3 of his divisions, under the loose direction of General Longstreet, forward in a long orderly line a mile long. The line moved forward against musketry and artillery fire from Cemetery Ridge. Many of the men were killed as they marched towards the crest. Of the men that reached the Union line, many were either pinned down and killed, or pinned down and captured. Lee's army was shattered by this attack, in which he lost almost 6,000 men.
A less-known example of such an attack happened at the Battle of Franklin. General John Bell Hood's Confederates were pursuing a Federal detachment under General Schofield. When Hood caught up with Schofield at the town of Franklin, Schofield entrenched into a strong defensive position. Hood ordered a frontal charge across 2 miles of open land. This was twice the distance that Pickett had to attack. At about noon on November 30, 1864, about 20,000 Confederates began to charge across the open ground parallel to the Columbia Pike at 17,000 Federals entrenched south of Franklin. There, despite heavy casualties suffered during the charge, Confederates broke through momentarily, but were forced to retreat. Hood's army was shattered at this battle. Most of his generals were killed or wounded, including the "Stonewall of the West", Patrick Cleburne. However, he continued pursuing Schofield until his army was completely destroyed at Nashville by General Thomas.
The Union army was also (a lot more) capable of such blunders. On June 3, 1864, during the Battle of Cold Harbor, Grant assaulted strong Confederate fieldworks with his tired men. Some of the Federal troops went into battle with identification numbers pinned on their backs, in anticipation of death. In fierce fighting, entire trees were whittled away by the incessant musket fire. In less than an hour, 7,000 men were casualties. That night, Grant ordered a second assault, but the sensible Hancock refused to pass it along to the men.
A final example of stupidity happened in the Battle of Fredericksburg. On the afternoon of December 13, 1862, Ambrose Burnside launched a third of his army towards extremely strong Confederate positions on Marye's Heights. Confederates entrenched 5 lines deep on a sunken road (acting as a trench) behind a stone wall mowed down attacking Federals. Burnside lost almost 8,000 men in this colossal blunder. However, none of these mistakes were heeded in the frequent infantry attacks in World War I.
The Civil War was in many respects the first modern war. Its scope was unprecedented. One out of every twelve adult American males served in the war, and few families were unaffected by the event. Over 620,000 Americans died in the conflict, 50 percent more than in World War II. Because battlefield surgeons were constantly overworked and frequently lacked equipment, supplies, and knowledge, almost any stomach or head wound proved fatal, and gangrene was rampant. Fifty thousand of the survivors returned home with one or more limbs amputated. Disease, however ,was the greatest threat to soldiers, killing twice as many as were lost in the battle.
The Civil War was not neatly self-contained it was a total war, fought not solely by professional armies but by and against whole societies. Farms became battlefields, cities were transformed into armed encampments, and homes were commandeered for field hospitals. After one battle, a woman recalled that "wounded men were brought into our house and laid side by side in our halls and first-story rooms... carpets were so saturated with blood as to be unfit for further use."
The Civil War was also modern in that much of the killing was distant, impersonal, and mechanical. The opposing forces used an array of new weapons and instruments of war: artillery with "rifled" or "grooved" barrels for greater accuracy, repeating rifles, ironclad ships, observation balloons, and wire entanglements. Men were killed without even knowing who had fired the shot that felled them.
The debate over why the North won and the South lost the Civil War will probably never end, but as in other modern wars firepower and manpower were essential factors. Lee's own explanation of the Confederate defeat retains an enduring legitimacy: "After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources."
(1861-1865) Fought between the federal government of the United States and the Confederate States of America ("the Confederacy") which consisted of 11 Southern states that asserted their right to secede from the Union.
Also known, depending on who's talking, as the War Between the States, the War for States' Rights, the Late Unpleasantness, and the War of Northern Aggression.

The war between North and South -- so runs the first excuse -- is a mere tariff war, a war between a protectionist system and a free trade system, and Britain naturally stands on the side of free trade. Shall the slave-owner enjoy the fruits of slave labour in their entirety or shall he be cheated of a portion of these by the protectionists of the North? That is the question which is at issue in this war. It was reserved for The Times to make this brilliant discovery. The Economist, The Examiner, The Saturday Review and tutti quanti expounded the theme further. It is characteristic of this discovery that it was made, not in Charleston, but in London. Naturally, in America everyone knew that from 1846 to 1861 a free trade system prevailed, and that Representative Morrill carried his protectionist tariff through Congress only in 1861, after the rebellion had already broken out. Secession, therefore, did not take place because the Morrill tariff had gone through Congress, but, at most, the Morrill tariff went through Congress because secession had taken place. When South Carolina had its first attack of secession in 1831, the protectionist tariff of 1828 served it, to be sure, as a pretext, but only as a pretext, as is known from a statement of General Jackson. This time, however, the old pretext has in fact not been repeated. In the Secession Congress at Montgomery all reference to the tariff question was avoided, because the cultivation of sugar in Louisiana, one of the most influential Southern states, depends entirely on protection.
It is above all to be remembered that the war did not originate with the North, but with the South. The North finds itself on the defensive. For months it had quietly looked on while the secessionists appropriated the Union's forts, arsenals, shipyards, customs houses, pay offices, ships and supplies of arms, insulted its flag and took prisoner bodies of its troops. Finally the secessionists resolved to force the Union government out of its passive attitude by a blatant act of war, and solely for this reason proceeded to the bombardment of Fort Sumter near Charleston. On April 11 (1861) their General Beauregard had learnt in a meeting with Major Anderson, the commander of Fort Sumter, that the fort was only supplied with provisions for three days more and accordingly must be peacefully surrendered after this period. In order to forestall this peaceful surrender, the secessionists opened the bombardment early on the following morning (April 12), which brought about the fall of the fort in a few hours. News of this had hardly been telegraphed to Montgomery, the seat of the Secession Congress, when War Minister Walker publicly declared in the name of the new Confederacy: No man can say where the war opened today will end. At the same time he prophesied that before the first of May the flag of the Southern Confederacy will wave from the dome of the old Capitol in Washington and within a short time perhaps also from the Faneuil Hall in Boston. Only now ensued the proclamation in which Lincoln called for 75,000 men to defend the Union. The bombardment of Fort Sumter cut off the only possible constitutional way out, namely the convocation of a general convention of the American people, as Lincoln had proposed in his inaugural address. For Lincoln there now remained only the choice of fleeing from Washington, evacuating Maryland and Delaware and surrendering Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia, or of answering war with war.
The question of the principle of the American Civil War is answered by the battle slogan with which the South broke the peace. Stephens, the Vice-President of the Southern Confederacy, declared in the Secession Congress that what essentially distinguished the Constitution newly hatched at Montgomery from the Constitution of Washington and Jefferson was that now for the first time slavery was recognised as an institution good in itself, and as the foundation of the whole state edifice, whereas the revolutionary fathers, men steeped in the prejudices of the eighteenth century, had treated slavery as an evil imported from England and to be eliminated in the course of time. Another matador of the South, Mr. Spratt, cried out: "For us it is a question of founding a great slave republic." If, therefore, it was indeed only in defence of the Union that the North drew the sword, had not the South already declared that the continuance of slavery was no longer compatible with the continuance of the Union?
Just as the bombardment of Fort Sumter gave the signal for the opening of the war, the election victory of the Republican Party of the North, the election of Lincoln as President, gave the signal for secession. On November 6, 1860, Lincoln was elected. On November 8, 1860, a message telegraphed from South Carolina said: Secession is regarded here as an accomplished fact; on November 10 the legislature of Georgia occupied itself with secession plans, and on November 13 a special session of the legislature of Mississippi was convened to consider secession. But Lincoln's election was itself only the result of a split in the Democratic camp. During the election struggle the Democrats of the North concentrated their votes on Douglas, the Democrats of the South concentrated their votes on Breckinridge, and to this splitting of the Democratic votes the Republican Party owed its victory. Whence came, on the one hand, the preponderance of the Republican Party in the North? Whence, on the other, the disunion within the Democratic Party, whose members, North and South, had operated in conjunction for more than half a century?
Under the presidency of Buchanan the sway that the South had gradually usurped over the Union through its alliance with the Northern Democrats attained its zenith. The last Continental Congress of 1787 and the first Constitutional Congress of 1789 -90 had legally excluded slavery from all Territories of the republic north-west of the Ohio. (Territories, as is known, is the name given to the colonies lying within the United States itself which have not yet attained the level of population constitutionally prescribed for the formation of autonomous states.) The so-called Missouri Compromise (1820), in consequence of which Missouri became one of the States of the Union as a slave state, excluded slavery from every remaining Territory north of 36 degrees latitude and west of the Missouri. By this compromise the area of slavery was advanced several degrees of longitude, whilst, on the other hand, a geographical boundary-line to its future spread seemed quite definitely drawn. This geographical barrier, in its turn, was thrown down in 1854 by the so-called Kansas-Nebraska Bill, the initiator of which was Stephen A. Douglas, then leader of the Northern Democrats. The Bill, which passed both Houses of Congress, repealed the Missouri Compromise, placed slavery and freedom on the same footing, commanded the Union government to treat them both with equal indifference and left it to the sovereignty of the people, that is, the majority of the settlers, to decide whether or not slavery was to be introduced in a Territory. Thus, for the first time in the history of the United States, every geographical and legal limit to the extension of slavery in the Territories was removed. Under this new legislation the hitherto free Territory of New Mexico, a Territory five times as large as the State of New York, was transformed into a slave Territory, and the area of slavery was extended from the border of the Mexican Republic to 38 degrees north latitude. In 1859 New Mexico received a slave code that vies with the statute-books of Texas and Alabama in barbarity. Nevertheless, as the census of 1860 proves, among some hundred thousand inhabitants New Mexico does not yet count half a hundred slaves. It had therefore sufficed for the South to send some adventurers with a few slaves over the border, and then with the help of the central government in Washington and of its officials and contractors in New Mexico to drum together a sham popular representation to impose slavery and with it the rule of the slaveholders on the Territory.
At the same time, under Buchanan's government the severer law on the surrendering of fugitive slaves enacted in 1850 was ruthlessly carried out in the states of the North. To play the part of slave-catchers for the Southern slaveholders appeared to be the constitutional calling of the North. On the other hand, in order to hinder as far as possible the colonisation of the Territories by free settlers, the slaveholders' party frustrated all the so-called free-soil measures, i.e., measures which were to secure for the settlers a definite amount of uncultivated state land free of charge.
In the foreign, as in the domestic, policy of the United States, the interest of the slaveholders served as the guiding star. Buchanan had in fact bought the office of President through the issue of the Ostend Manifesto, in which the acquisition of Cuba, whether by purchase or by force of arms, was proclaimed as the great task of national policy. Under his government northern Mexico was already divided among American land speculators, who impatiently awaited the signal to fall on Chihuahua, Coahuila and Sonora. The unceasing piratical expeditions of the filibusters against the states of Central America were directed no less from the White House at Washington. In the closest connection with this foreign policy, whose manifest purpose was conquest of new territory for the spread of slavery and of the slaveholders' rule, stood the reopening of the slave trade, secretly supported by the Union government. Stephen A. Douglas himself declared in the American Senate on August 20, 1859: During the last year more Negroes have been imported from Africa than ever before in any single year, even at the time when the slave trade was still legal. The number of slaves imported in the last year totalled fifteen thousand.
For hardly had the Kansas-Nebraska Bill gone through, which wiped out the geographical boundary-line of slavery and made its introduction into new Territories subject to the will of the majority of the settlers, when armed emissaries of the slaveholders, border rabble from Missouri and Arkansas, with bowie-knife in one hand and revolver in the other, fell upon Kansas and sought by the most unheard-of atrocities to dislodge its settlers from the Territory colonised by them. These raids were supported by the central government in Washington. Hence a tremendous reaction. Throughout the North, but particularly in the North-west, a relief organisation was formed to support Kansas with men, arms and money. Out of this relief organisation arose the Republican Party, which therefore owes its origin to the struggle for Kansas. After the attempt to transform Kansas into a slave Territory by force of arms had failed, the South sought to achieve the same result by political intrigues. Buchanan's government, in particular, exerted its utmost efforts to have Kansas included in the States of the Union as a slave state with a slave constitution imposed on it. Hence renewed struggle, this time mainly conducted in Congress at Washington. Even Stephen A. Douglas, the chief of the Northern Democrats, now (1857 - 58) entered the lists against the government and his allies of the South, because imposition of a slave constitution would have been contrary to the principle of sovereignty of the settlers passed in the Nebraska Bill of 1854. Douglas, Senator for Illinois, a North-western state, would naturally have lost all his influence if he had wanted to concede to the South the right to steal by force of arms or through acts of Congress Territories colonised by the North. As the struggle for Kansas, therefore, called the Republican Party into being, it at the same time occasioned the first split within the Democratic Party itself.
The cultivation of the southern export articles, cotton, tobacco, sugar , etc., carried on by slaves, is only remunerative as long as it is conducted with large gangs of slaves, on a mass scale and on wide expanses of a naturally fertile soil, which requires only simple labour. Intensive cultivation, which depends less on fertility of the soil than on investment of capital, intelligence and energy of labour, is contrary to the nature of slavery. Hence the rapid transformation of states like Maryland and Virginia, which formerly employed slaves on the production of export articles, into states which raise slaves to export them into the deep South. Even in South Carolina, where the slaves form four-sevenths of the population, the cultivation of cotton has been almost completely stationary for years due to the exhaustion of the soil. Indeed, by force of circumstances South Carolina has already been transformed in part into a slave-raising state, since it already sells slaves to the sum of four million dollars yearly to the states of the extreme South and South-west. As soon as this point is reached, the acquisition of new Territories becomes necessary, so that one section of the slaveholders with their slaves may occupy new fertile lands and that a new market for slave-raising, therefore for the sale of slaves, may be created for the remaining section. It is, for example, indubitable that without the acquisition of Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas by the United States, slavery in Virginia and Maryland would have been wiped out long ago. In the Secessionist Congress at Montgomery, Senator Toombs, one of the spokesmen of the South, strikingly formulated the economic law that commands the constant expansion of the territory of slavery. "In fifteen years," said he, "without a great increase in slave territory, either the slaves must be permitted to flee from the whites, or the whites must flee from the slaves."
Finally, the number of actual slaveholders in the South of the Union does not amount to more than three hundred thousand, a narrow oligarchy that is confronted with many millions of so-called poor whites, whose numbers have been constantly growing through concentration of landed property and whose condition is only to be compared with that of the Roman plebeians in the period of Rome's extreme decline. Only by acquisition and the prospect of acquisition of new Territories, as well as by filibustering expeditions, is it possible to square the interests of these poor whites with those of the slaveholders, to give their restless thirst for action a harmless direction and to tame them with the prospect of one day becoming slaveholders themselves.
The Kansas struggle had already caused a split between the slaveholders' party and the Democrats of the North allied to it. With the presidential election of 1860, the same strife now broke out again in a more general form. The Democrats of the North, with Douglas as their candidate, made the introduction of slavery into Territories dependent on the will of the majority of the settlers. The slaveholders' party, with Breckinridge as their candidate, maintained that the Constitution of the United States, as the Supreme Court had also declared, brought slavery legally in its train; in and of itself slavery was already legal in all Territories and required no special naturalisation. Whilst, therefore, the Republicans prohibited any extension of slave Territories, the Southern party laid claim to all Territories of the republic as legally warranted domains. What they had attempted by way of example with regard to Kansas, to force slavery on a Territory through the central government against the will of the settlers themselves, they now set up as law for all the Territories of the Union. Such a concession lay beyond the power of the Democratic leaders and would only have occasioned the desertion of their army to the Republican camp. On the other hand, Douglas's settlers' sovereignty could not satisfy the slaveholders' party. What it wanted to effect had to be effected within the next four years under the new President, could only be effected by the resources of the central government and brooked no further delay. It did not escape the slaveholders that a new power had arisen, the North-west, whose population, having almost doubled between 1850 and 1860, was already pretty well equal to the white population of the slave states -- a power that was not inclined either by tradition, temperament or mode of life to let itself be dragged from compromise to compromise in the manner of the old North-eastern states. The Union was still of value to the South only so far as it handed over Federal power to it as a means of carrying out the slave policy. If not, then it was better to make the break now than to look on at the development of the Republican Party and the upsurge of the North-west for another four years and begin the struggle under more unfavourable conditions. The slaveholders' party therefore played va banque. When the Democrats of the North declined to go on playing the part of the poor whites of the South, the South secured Lincoln's victory by splitting the vote, and then took this victory as a pretext for drawing the sword from the scabbard.

Is the Confederacy part of the Union?
The Civil War wasn't supposed to be about slavery.
I mean, it obviously was caused by slavery. Despite what early 20th-century textbooks might have said about states' rights or the nullification crisis being the cause of the Civil War, concerns about what the Republican administration might do to slavery was the reason the South seceded.
He'd lose support in the North. In 1861, support for Lincoln was practically unanimous. In fact, there were more volunteers to fight the war than could be organized (this was true in the South as well). But Northern Democrats were practically by definition uninterested in abolishing slavery. "Preserve the Union" was by far a more politically correct call.
He might lose the border states. At this point, Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland had yet to declare their support either way. If Lincoln said he would abolish slavery, he'd probably lose all three. Since Maryland surrounds Washington, D.C., it was particularly critical that he keep it in the Union. Kentucky was also important since that would give the Union control of the Ohio River, and losing Missouri would cut off Kansas. But holding Maryland was essential, and it was in Baltimore that Lincoln first violated habeas corpus.
Lincoln really did want to preserve the Union. Lincoln refused to acknowledge that the Southern states could secede. He was putting down a rebellion, not fighting a war with another country. Lincoln wanted the Union to be preserved, and abolishing slavery would make it harder to reincorporate the Southern states.
Those are all good reasons for Lincoln to say the war wasn't about ending slavery, but did he really think that it wasn't? It's hard to tell. Some members of his Cabinet, like Charles Sumner, absolutely thought the war should be about ending slavery. Sumner saw it as an opportunity. Lincoln was so closed-mouthed about what he thought, it's hard to tell what he actually wanted. Obviously by 1863 circumstances had changed.

Someone asked me why a particular committee had not done a task that impeded the progress of a mutual friend.
Digital Copies and Classroom participation. The reality is we live in a mixed technology environment of digital formats for materials and concrete classrooms of boards, overheads, and each other. I am figuring out how to balance the two. These policies are a work in progress.
1) Expect you to be ready to discus and share the materials. You will have to figure out what this means for you.
2) You may bring a laptop. I reserve the right to ask you to put it away for certain activities. I reserve the right to call you out for letting it distract you in class.
3) I expect you to be good citizens of the information world. Pay for protected copyright. Respect other content's creators by citing them, ALWAYS. Any image, presentations, link or whatever should be somehow noted or cited depending on the context of the usage. SO, on a power point lisde, pu a little note at the bottom. On a blog post, hyperlink. On a paper use normal citations, and so on.
Through the looking glass: Putting a Value on a C.E.O.
My father in law sent me this article from two weeks ago int the NY Times.
"By itself, more share and retention-based compensation is not the magic bullet, because it certainly didn't stop us from running up very large losses," Mr. Bischoff said.
This ranks up there with all time statements lacking any humility or self-awareness. If you look at the explosion in financial sector profitability (much of it inflated) and bonuses and other stock-based payments, and then at the continued pay out of bonuses even as the financial sector sank, then the premise of this statement by the Chairman of Citigroup, which is that more of the same compensation schemes _may_, (may!) not help avoid large losses is weirdly up-is-down through-the-looking-glass logic that can only make sense to the world of Wall Street and high finance. If you are the CEO, of, say, I don't know, a car manufacturer, and your firm looses more than half of its value in one year, than you d not get a bonus. You probably lose your job.
The article goes on to repeat the logic of more of these compensation ideologues several times that if firms do not continue to pay out huge bonuses tied to stock options, than they will lose the top management talent they need to compete. ha ha, ho ho! I am drying my eyes.
Because they have done such a great job so far.
Because they did not create the conditions for this financial mess by advocating deregulation and obfuscation of financial systems under the guise of free market theory.
Because they designed and staunchly defend as in the general interest stock option compensation that creates clear and perverse incentives to smooth earnings, game financial accounting, and other malfeasance (whether deliberate or convenient).
Because they have not hijacked the very governance mechanisms meant to curb the abuses of greed in a free market- corporate boards and regulatory agencies.
Finally, is there a labor economist in the house?
The argument is that if not, as a group, paid super premiums over all other types of organizational leaders, from medicine, higher education, the frickin' president, manufacturing, and every other sector of American economic activity, then oh no! there will be a mass exodus of CEO and top management. Really? And where in the hell where they go work? Boeing? Chrysler? Schering Plough? Best Buy? Given the vast pool of educated and experienced mangers and even financial managers in the world, you don't think we could possibly find people willing to work for $2,$4,$6 million in total compensation? Especially if that is twice what they ear now (or more) and not any better than what they could get elsewhere.
The notion somehow massive bonuses and total compensation are the only way to keep people performing as the CEOs and top leaders of banks, brokerages, investment banks, and so on just seems laughable.

Q: How to check if a process is being hooked? Is their a a way to see if an application is being hooked? I want to be able to see if an application is being hooked, and if so maybe see what exactly is being hooked? I am not sure if this is possible but I would like to know. I am just looking for a prexisting application that does this to monitor some processes.

A: There are lots of different methods to hook functions. Some are easy to detect, some are harder.
HookShark is capable of detecting quite a lot of the common hooking methods.
On thing that it cannot detect is hooking via vtable replacement in object instances. The intruder replaces the vtable pointer at the beginning of a dynamically allocated object with a pointer to his faked vtable where the functions to be hooked are redirected. No program from the outside can detect this because it cannot know what chunks of memory are vtable pointers.

What I Didn't Say: A Collaborative,...
What I Didn't Say: A Collaborative, Interdisciplinary Sound Art Installation
Phoebe Pan '20
Students prepare "What I Didn't Say" installation
Photo credit: Sarah Goodstein '21
As the power of representation has been increasingly noted in media in this modern digital age, technology and art serve as crucial mediums for marginalized voices to be heard and acknowledged.
What I Didn't Say is an upcoming sound art installation designed by Technical Director and Lecturer in TIMARA Abby Aresty and supported by students, staff, and faculty of the program at Oberlin. The installation is a collaborative piece that explores the various experiences of women and non-binary individuals working in male-dominated STEAM fields. TIMARA is Oberlin Conservatory's Technology in Music and Related Arts program.
The premise of What I Didn't Say arose out of a need to bring underrepresented voices to the foreground and to create a space to explore topics of diversification in those fields. Aresty conceived of the idea for the installation after attending an event organized by Nicollette Mitchell '13, director of Oberlin's Center for Learning, Education, and Research (CLEAR), and Jillian Scudder, assistant professor of physics at Oberlin. The event inspired Aresty to continue the conversation of representation through hands-on, collaborative approaches.
"In order to build a sustainable model for the gender diversification of STEAM fields, we need to create meaningful opportunities for these voices to be heard," says Aresty. "I hope that the installation, which invites visitors to actively seek out and listen to underrepresented voices, will provide one such opportunity."
The installation itself is a paper quilt made up of handmade electromagnets, with each electromagnet driven by the audio playback of brief voice recordings. Each voice recording will be a response to the prompt: "When 'x' happened, what I didn't say was…". Visitors to the installation will be given headphones and audio equipment to listen to these recordings. Aresty notes that, using the equipment provided, the voices should be heard clearly and the messages deciphered easily. At the same time, however, there will be a significant amount of background noise still present. "Rather than being an unwanted nuisance," she says, "this interference seems a poignant reminder of the way in which these unspoken thoughts can be lost or forgotten in the din of everyday life."
As a collective effort, the installation will be built by participants, including students and faculty from art and science departments at Oberlin, at a workshop preceding the installation. Aresty anticipates that the workshop will encourage dialogue across disciplines and foster a sense of community among non-binary individuals and women in STEAM fields.
"We are so busy with work in our own disciplines, we rarely have the opportunity to have these important conversations across disciplines," says Aresty. "The goal for the workshop is to provide the space and time required for these conversations."
What I Didn't Say will be on display October 13, 15, and 16 in the science library.

Singles' Day poised for another record year despite uncertainty
By SARAH RAMIREZ
Chinese shoppers are ready to open their wallets this Singles' Day, as 36 percent of consumers are planning to spend more on Double 11 than they did in 2020.
According to "The Outlook for Singles' Day 2021" report from China Luxury Advisors, C2 Global and Coresight Research, livestream promotions are one of the most popular ways consumers discover new products for Singles' Day. This year, Singles' Day sales and promotions started as early as Oct. 21, turning the shopping holiday into a three-week event.
"Luxury brands need to carefully consider their Singles' Day strategy as it relates to discounting, and how they can maintain excitement without discounting, such as through limited edition products or special products," said Renee Hartmann, cofounder of China Luxury Advisors and C2 Global, Los Angeles.
The Singles' Day 2021 preview is based on a survey of 1,000 Chinese consumers.
Changing attitudes
Despite a global pandemic, Singles' Day 2020 saw record sales (see story). Tmall and JD.com alone accounted for $115 billion in sales, up 70 percent from 2019's $67.6 billion.
As Chinese ecommerce giants look to extend the Singles' Day sales cycle, Alibaba added a "warm up period" with sales and promotions beginning on Oct. 21. A high sales period from Nov. 1 to Nov. 3 also added another opportunity for brands to capitalize on peak retail traffic.

Shoppers expect to spend more across a variety of categories – including skincare, handbags and luggage – while cutting back spending on footwear, electronics, fresh food and education. Consumers are also more inclined to spend on foreign brands in categories such as apparel and footwear, but will spend the bulk of their money on Chinese brands.
More than a third of shoppers, 35.7 percent, plan to spend more this Singles' Day than last year, while 42.1 percent expect to spend the same amount as 2020.
About 22 percent plan to spend between 2,001 and 4,000 RMB, or about $312 to $625 at current exchange, on Singles' Day. The share of shoppers that plan to spend between 4,0001 RMB and 8,000 RMB, or about $625 to $1,2500, has seen the most growth year-over-year.
At least 3 percent plan to spend at least 10,000 RMB, or about $1,560, up from 2.5 percent in 2020.
COVID-19, which remains a reality in China, continues to influence consumer behavior as well.
Twenty-six percent of shoppers believe COVID has changed what they intend to buy on Singles' Day, but not what they plan to spend, up from 23.9 percent in 2020. However, 38.2 percent report they will cut back on their spending because of the pandemic, compared to 36.5 percent last year.

Holding steady from 2020, one in 10 plan to spend more because of COVID while 7.9 percent do not think the pandemic has any impact on their holiday spending, down from 8.9 percent from 2020. About 18 percent believe the pandemic has affected their Singles' Day decisions but are unsure how.
"We are seeing an increase in demand for travel and related products like suitcases when compared to 2020," Ms. Hartmann said. "While Chinese citizens are still not traveling outside of China due to strict quarantine requirements upon return to China, we continue to see strong demand for domestic tourism, and the anticipation of Chinese consumers beginning to travel overseas in 2022.
"Although we are still seeing demand for product categories related to COVID such as fresh food, vitamins and supplements, we are also seeing stronger demand for traditional categories such as beauty, accessories and fitness," she said.
Singles' Day sales pitches
While luxury labels in particularly are unlike to rely on heavy discounts to attract shoppers, there are other tactics they can leverage that can resonate with Chinese affluents.
More than half of shoppers use Singles' Day as a reason to splurge or pull the trigger on a long-coveted item. This is an indication that brands' hard work building awareness and consumer engagement can pay off during these shopping holidays.
By prioritizing customer lifetime value, retailers can build more sustainable long-term strategies to retain customers, which will ultimately help them throughout the entire year and not simply on one shopping day (see story).
On Singles' Day, consumers also gravitate to products featured on livestreams, collaboration products or limited-edition items.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of livestreaming around the globe, after it first gained popularity among China's highly digitalized society in 2016.
In 2020, China reported more than $162 billion in livestreaming ecommerce sales. By the end of December 2020, 617 million people watched livestreaming shopping events, and more than 388 million participated by making purchases and interacting within platforms (see story).
"We continue to see livestreaming leading demand for Singles' Day, though it is primarily driven by the top three livestreamers on Tmall: Austin Li, Cherie and Viya," Ms. Hartmann said. "These three livestreamers can drive huge quantities, but they typically require brands to provide a discount."

Harrogate Film Festival Programme Announced
The Northern Film School is the official Education Partner for Harrogate Film Festival, which has announced details of their 2021 programme of events.
The festival, which is now in its fifth year will consist of a series of "mini festivals" spread out over April - September.
For the second year in a row the Northern Film School will be supporting the development of the festival's educational and community engagement initiatives. This will also include a number of opportunities for Leeds Beckett University students to be involved in various events throughout the festival.
This year's festival has been curated to include a range of events offering something for people of all ages, from aspiring filmmakers to dedicated cinephiles. It has also been meticulously planned to make sure events can still take place within Covid-19 restrictions.
April 23 – 27 will see the return of the popular filmmaker's competition, which will run online, a virtual screening of the film JFK, followed by an interview with its director Oliver Stone, a showcase from the Northern Film School and a number of other workshops, virtual experience events and the annual industry day.
May 28 – 31 will feature an animation workshop run by LEGO, additional talks and workshops, and more of the filmmaker's competition. There will then be final series of events later in the summer which are yet to be confirmed.
You can view the current programme on the Harrogate Film Festival website.
The filmmaker's competition, recently voted as one of the "Top 100 worldwide" by filmmakers, has ten screenings on offer, including short films with Drama, Comedy, Horror, Romance and Documentary all on the bill.
With over 500 submissions from 70 countries submitted this year alone, the Festival expects the competition to be eagerly anticipated among film lovers as it showcases the next generation of talent across the globe.
Annabelle Pangborn, Head of Subject for Film has previously commented that:
"We are thrilled to once again work in partnership with The Harrogate Film Festival following last year's success.
The partnership, now in its second year, comes just as the university opens its new £80 million-pound Leeds School of Arts building in the heart of the city where the Northern Film School will be housed."
Adam Chandler, Managing Director of the Festival has talked about what has been involved in planning for this year, saying "since our 2020 festival, a lot has happened in the world. We have planned the 2021 festival to allow for a fully online event, holding events in person, or a combination of the two. We really hope that by running a full schedule of events we can help bring some normality and joy to film fans.
"Whatever the situation at the time, all events will be streamed online. The advantage of this is that we can welcome people from across the country – and indeed the world - to our screenings."

Microsoft retail store to open in London
By Adam Hartley published 26 February 09
As well as a number of other major European cities
Microsoft to open stores in London and other major European cities
Following reports earlier this month that Microsoft plans to open its own branded retail stores, it has been confirmed that Microsoft stores will open in London and other major European cities.
We reported the news that the Redmond giant was looking to take on Apple at its own high street game back in early February. Apple originally launched its own branded stores back in 2001, now boasting over 200 worldwide (20 of which are in the UK).
Games industry trade magazine MCV has confirmed that Microsoft will be opening a London store, selling a whole range of PC and Xbox 360 gaming kit and caboodle.
High profile stores
"Our target is a small number of high profile experience stores in a few major cities around the world," says the big tech firm.
"Our main objective is to change the buying experience for consumers around the world – to show and demonstrate Microsoft's key consumer products in a deeper and more meaningful way, making it more simple and easy for consumers to purchase PCs and devices that truly meet their specific needs."
Somewhat confusingly, Microsoft claims that the move is set to benefit its current relationships with other retailers, claiming that "one of the goals of opening Microsoft stores is to better engage with consumers and gain a better understanding of the consumer PC and device purchase experience."

(Deacon)
The house seems to have been built by the Hatley family who were blacksmiths, and may have been constructed by the Henry Hatley who died in 1653. After his death the house belonged to his widow, Mary, who lived here, probably initially with at least 7 children, until her death. The house seems then to have gone to her eldest son William Hatley (see manor court record 1700/01). There is no record of his ever having married and he probably died without any direct heirs. On his death, the
house passed to his nephew Henry Hatley, who was the eldest son of Stephen, William's younger brother. Henry died in 1720 and left the house to the use of his widow Mary and eldest son Henry.
On the death of Mary in 1745, the house was left to her son Thomas, brother of Henry who had died in 1732 By 1748 he had sold the house to Thomas Simons who died in 1779 and left the house to his grandson William Hardwick (see will dated 1779).
William Hardwick died at the age of 26 and the house then passed to his son William who was then a child of 5. Because he was so young, the property was looked after on his behalf by his grandfather John Hardwick until he was 21. Grandfather John died in 1794, and the property was then taken care of by John's son James (William's uncle) who lived in Barrington. He was named during the Enclosure process in 1799 as holder of the house and lands belonging to it. William Hardwick did not live to be 21 and was dead by 1805 and uncle James inherited the house and as legitimate owner then sold it to Jacob Wisbey, a small farmer and higgler (see manor court records 1805/6). When Jacob died around 1850, the property was left to his second son William who was dead by 1881, when his
son David lived there with his two daughters and mother.
Little is known of what happened to the property in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1937, the house was still inhabited by a Wisbey when it was called Fountain Farm and still being used as a
farmhouse. By the 1960's the house was being lived in by the Scudamore family, reputedly an old lady and her son. By the mid-1980's the Scudamores had moved out and the house was uninhabited for some time until the whole property was sold to CALA Homes, a property development agency who detached the rear section of the garden from the site to build a new house. After this,the old house was sold to Liam Harris who took over the property after about 3 years of being uninhabited and he instituted building works to make the house habitable once more.
In 1998 Fountain Cottage was purchased by Heather Birch and Michael Sekulla who did further restoration and had the trees which had been planted around 1955 and surrounded much of the property cut down.

Sarlat-la-Canéda (okcitansko Sarlat e La Canedat) je naselje in občina v jugozahodni francoski regiji Nova Akvitanija, podprefektura departmaja Dordogne. Sarlat in La Canéda sta bili različni mesti, dokler se leta 1965 nista združili v eno občino.

Geografija
Mesto Sarlat je v regiji, znani v Franciji kot Périgord Noir obdani z gozdnatimi griči. Mesto s svojo srednjeveško mestno podobo, ki sega v 13. do 16. stoletje in daje vtis uradnega in trgovskega mesta Ancien Régime, je turistično središče regije. Leži v jugovzhodnem delu departmaja Dordogne, 7 km severno od reke Dordogne.

Železniška postaja Sarlat ponuja vlake do Bergeraca, Bordeauxa in Périgueuxa.

Občina je opremljena tudi z letališčem Brive Vallée de la Dordogne (50 km), letališčem Bergerac Roumanière (70 km) in dvema avtobusnima linijama.

Uprava

Kanton Sarlat-la-Canéda je upravna enota departmaja Dordogne v jugozahodni Franciji. Njegove meje so bile spremenjene z reorganizacijo francoskega kantona, ki je začela veljati marca 2015. Njegov sedež je v Sarlat-la-Canéda.

Sestavljajo jo naslednje občine:

Beynac-et-Cazenac
Marcillac-Saint-Quentin
Marquay
Proissans
La Roque-Gageac
Saint-André-d'Allas
Sainte-Nathalène
Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse
Saint-Vincent-le-Paluel
Sarlat-la-Canéda
Tamniès
Vézac
Vitrac

Okrožje Sarlat-la-Canéda ima 136 občin. Njegovo prebivalstvo je 81.863 (2016), njegova površina pa 2273,1 km².

Zgodovina
Sarlat je srednjeveško mesto, ki se je razvilo okoli velikega benediktinskega samostana karolinškega izvora. Srednjeveška stolnica Sarlat je posvečena svetemu Sacerdosu. Ta samostan se v zapisih pojavlja že leta 1081 in je bil eden redkih v regiji, ki ga niso napadli Vikingi. Ime za samostansko cerkev je bilo do leta 1318 sv. Sacerdos; v 20. stoletju je postala stolnica pod papežem Janezom XXIII.

Ker je moderna zgodovina večinoma šla mimo njega, je Sarlat ostal ohranjen in eno najbolj reprezentativnih mest Francije 14. stoletja. Njegovo zgodovinsko središče s 77 zaščitenimi spomeniki je bilo leta 2002 dodano na francoski poskusni seznam za prihodnjo nominacijo za Unescov seznam svetovne dediščine. Odlično stanje ohranjenosti se je zahvalilo pisatelju, uporniškemu borcu in politiku Andréju Malrauxu, ki je kot minister za kulturo (1960–1969) obnovil mesto in številna druga mesta zgodovinskega pomena po vsej Franciji. Središče starega mestnega jedra je sestavljeno iz brezhibno obnovljenih kamnitih stavb in je večinoma brez avtomobilov.

Zgodovinsko Staro mesto
Od 17. stoletja je bil Sarlat politično nepomemben in je vse bolj obubožal. Stavbna struktura je sčasoma propadala, dokler francoska vlada leta 1962 ni sprejela zakona o ohranjanju spomenikov, ki je bil posebej namenjen obnovi zgodovinskih starih mestnih jeder. Obnova je trajala od leta 1964 do 1974 in je vključevala ne le zgodovinske stavbe, temveč celotno staro mestno jedro Sarlata. Od takrat je »oživljeno« mesto v središču pozornosti, zaradi česar se je turizem močno dvignil. Sarlat ima zdaj milijon obiskovalcev na leto.

Danes od obzidja in jarkov, ki so do 18. stoletja obdajali staro mestno jedro, ni ostalo nič. Jarke so zasuli in na njih uredili velik bulvar. Od starega mestnega obzidja je le nekaj ostankov. Poleg tega je bila v 19. stoletju urejena ravna ulica, Rue de la République, ki seka pot skozi staro mestno jedro in ga od takrat deli na vzhodno in zahodno polovico.

Osrednji točki starega mestnega jedra sta [[stolnica in mestna hiša. Sicer pa si kot nekaj samoumevnega stojijo stavbe iz srednjega veka, renesanse in baroka. Cerkev, katere najdragocenejši del opreme so orgle iz 17. stoletja, ima mogočen zvonik z romansko osnovo.

Na majhnem trgu pred cerkvijo je nekdanja škofovska palača z odprto ložo v zgornjem nadstropju in Maison de La Boétie, kjer se je leta 1530 rodil politik in pisatelj Étienne de La Boétie, prijatelj Michela de Montaigna. Za stolnico je Lanterne des Morts, valjast stolp, ki je verjetno služil predvsem kot posmrtna luč ali mrliška kapela.

Prostrana tržnica je le nekaj korakov od cerkve, pred baročno mestno hišo. Trg obdajajo elegantne palače; pod vijugastim Hôtel de Maleville. Sekularizirana župnijska cerkev Sainte-Marie, ki se zdaj uporablja kot tržnica, in Hôtel Chassaing na severni strani služita kot kulisa za letni gledališki festival. Za njim je majhen Place des Oies, ki ga prav tako obkrožajo slikovite stare hiše.

Gospodarstvo
Kmetijstvo je že dolgo pomembno na območju Dordogne okoli Sarlata. Tobak v okolici Sarlata gojijo od leta 1857 in je bil v preteklosti glavna dobrina, a je v upadanju. Drugi kmetijski proizvodi so koruza, seno, orehi, orehovo olje, siri, vino, cèpes (jesenski goban) in tartufi.

Turizem: Številni obiskovalci – zlasti iz severne Evrope (Združeno kraljestvo, Nizozemska, Belgija, Nemčija itd.) – prihajajo na počitnice v Sarlat in regijo, ki ga obdaja, nekateri pa so se tam naselili za stalno. Meseca julij in avgust sta tradicionalno haute saison (visoka sezona) za obiskovalce, kot velja za večji del Francije zunaj Pariza.

Foie gras: obstaja več velikih tovarn foie gras, vključno z Rougiéjem, številni so majhni proizvajalci na tem območju; druge kmetije gojijo gosi in race za proizvodnjo izdelkov (confits, paštete itd.) iz teh ptic. Komuna ima letni tridnevni festival, Fest'oie, v čast tega pomembnega dela svojega gospodarstva, ki privablja tudi številne turiste.

Od leta 1991 v občini vsako leto novembra poteka filmski festival. Drugi dogodki so Festival tartufov, božični sejem in Fest'oie pozimi, Ringueta tradicionalnih iger in Festival gledaliških iger.

Subatomic Studios' Fieldrunners Attack! will appeal to all strategy fans, but tower defense lovers may feel disappointed because the game is far different from its predecessors. It is very similar to the current-gen mobile base-building/strategy titles that lets players build bases, upgrade key structures to increase resource production and raid other players' bases for loot and rewards.
A power station is the heart of a tower. Without this building near it, a tower won't function and will remain idle. A tower placed within a power station's range becomes active and starts attacking any enemy units that come within its range. A blitzkrieg on power stations can quickly disable towers powered by them.
Before targeting power stations, make sure you have more than one heroes unlocked. For starters, a Yellow Jacket/Metal Rush combo is pretty good in destroying power stations quickly. Razing a power station takes less time than destroying individual towers placed close to it, which is why you should target the former.
Before deploying units, you will have a few seconds to scan the enemy base to locate power stations. Tap each power station to know the number of towers that supply power to them. Many players use power stations as decoy, or may power two or more towers with two power stations placed around them so that if one is destroyed the other power station will still supply power to them.
There will be power stations and towers near them at the edge of the enemy base. Choose that power station + tower target that's isolated from the rest and deploy your heroes very close to the power station so that they start attacking it straight away.
Every player is asked to select an environment just after a mini-tutorial ends. There are three main types of environments: Grasslands, Frostbite and Drylands. Besides their aesthetic value, these environments also provide boosts to certain heroes. For example: The Yellow Jacket gets a stats boost when deployed in desert regions whereas Metal Rush receives a stats boost when dropped in forest regions.
To know the list of heroes and the environment boost they will get, tap the "Heroes" button at the lower-left corner of the screen to access the "Hero Collection" screen. You will notice a small icon at the upper left corner of a hero's portrait pic. A green leaf suggests Grasslands boost. Yellow pyramid suggests Drylands and snow flake icon shows Frostbite. So if a green leaf icon is shown above a hero portrait, then that hero will get a stats boost when he is deployed on a base built on Grasslands.
Focus on destroying buildings that have stars above them. These are basically resource buildings. Destroying half of these starred buildings will fulfill the first victory condition, i.e. "50 Percent Pillaged". You will receive half of the resources and some keys/trophies.
Destroying all starred buildings will let you collect all resources plus a few keys/trophies and this fulfills the second victory condition, i.e. 100 percent pillaged.
Finally, destroying the enemy HQ fulfills the third victory condition. You will get the remaining trophies and keys.
Target only starred buildings. Destroying other buildings would be a waste of time as starred buildings contain resources.
Achieving the first victory condition (50 percent pillaged) is easy.
Try to fulfill all 3 victory conditions to loot all trophies and keys from enemy.
receive any resources. You must destroy all buildings that have a star above them to get all resources. Destroying all HQ does not automatically get you resources.
Now that you know about victory conditions and starred buildings, you should consider protecting your starred buildings.
Food Granary, Wood Mill, Gold Refinery, Warehouse are those buildings that will have stars above them when your base will be under attack. Your opponent will try his best to destroy them first.
While the first line of defense should be walls surrounding such buildings + towers guarding them, you can also consider creating obstacles for enemies by placing buildings like the farmhouse, miner shack, loot transport, laboratory and other non-starred buildings around your starred buildings. This will not give easy access to ground units. Try to make it difficult for them to reach starred buildings and using the edit mode (more on this in the next section) can be very helpful in designing your base.
You can also consider upgrading power stations to increase their range so that more number of towers can be built around them. Make sure to build a backup power station (and increase its range) so that if one gets destroyed the other will be able to power it.
Moving buildings and towers from one place to another is easy – Just long-press a structure and drag it to a desired area. However, this won't allow you to "design" your base properly. Thankfully, the game has an easy "edit" mode that gives you a bird's eye view of your entire base and lets you neatly map out your town. To access edit mode, tap the drawer located at the right hand side of the screen. It's just above your "Warlog". Now tap the pencil icon.
In edit mode, you can also switch to a different environment, clear your recent design and reset your town back to its original state. The top-down view gives a clear idea as to where your structures are and where they can be moved. You can even pinch-out to zoom-out and pinch to zoom-in. To move a structure, you will have to long press, hold and drag it to the desired location.
Basic tower that can destroy most ground and air units. It has a pretty long range, but the attack's not as strong as other towers like the Railgun Switch.
Can rip through armor and can easily take out fast-moving cycles. However, it can easily be destroyed by enemies in large numbers. Yellow Jacket, who commands soldiers, can be deployed to destroy it.
Nuke Tower launches missiles that deal a huge AoE damage to troops. Can be very effective against soldiers. However, fast-moving vehicles such as the cycle and flying units can easily destroy it.
Deploys troops. Soldiers appear every after few seconds and shoot enemies that move into range. You can send heroes that command cycles to quickly demolish barracks if you want to stop soldiers from attacking your troops.
Best defensive structure to protect your towers from enemy attack. Place a fortification to defend a tower. It will take any damage directed at the tower.
Can be very dangerous if deployed in large numbers. They can target ground and flying units. Soldiers can destroy the railgun switch in seconds. However, they are very vulnerable against flamethrower towers and advanced switch towers (nuke towers).
Long-range units. Can be of immense help if you want to demolish power stations and starred buildings from a distance. RPG units can target flying units and ground units.
Can only target land units but can be quickly destroy power stations and starred buildings. Flame Towers are vulnerable to tanks. Cannon towers can easily destroy them.
Cycles (Mobikes) are extremely fast-moving units that can destroy nuke towers and barracks in seconds. They can target only ground units.
Another long-range unit that can be used against power stations and starred buildings. But a nuke truck will have a hard time destroying fortifications (they protect towers). It can target only ground units.
Deploy it if you want to destroy buildings and tanks. However, it has its flaws and can be easily destroyed by missile towers, RPG and basic soldiers.
You can upgrade these units at the laboratory. However, you will have to unlock units by upgrading the Research laboratory. Heroes command these units. For example: Metal Rush commands tanks and Yellow Jacket has soldiers under his command.
This is a no-brainer, but building walls can make it somewhat difficult for your opponent to infiltrate your town. Most troops will first have to destroy walls before they can enter your base. They can't shoot over walls. Surrounding your entire base with walls is probably a good idea, but make sure there are towers positioned in such a way that their range covers walls as well.
Towers will take out enemy troops one by one while they are busy destroying walls. A sturdy wall will not be easy to destroy, and the more time it takes to destroy a part of a wall, the better the chances are to eliminate troops one by one. So don't forget to upgrade them to increase their hit points. When building walls, don't forget to pinch-zoom. It will make it easier to build them around your base.
In Fieldrunners: Attack, you will get a few seconds to scan the enemy's base before deploying their heroes. In these few seconds, you can easily scan the enemy base for vulnerabilities and towers isolated from others. If you spot a soft target in an enemy base, with fewer towers guarding that spot, try to deploy your heroes very close to your tower.
You will have to drag and drop your heroes near the towers/power stations in such a way that they will start attacking them immediately after being deployed. Look for the yellow dot when dropping heroes as yellow dot suggests that your units can be dropped in that area. A red dot would mean units can't be dropped. When dropping outside the base look for the yellow dot.
At first, a power station can supply power to a maximum of two powers, but it can extend its range if you upgrade it. Upgrading a power station will let you place more number of towers around it. To know its range, just tap a power station.
You can also press the "info" button to access a screen that will show the current health as well as the tiles it covers to power towers within its range. An upgrade guarantees an increase in the number of tiles it can cover. Upgrading a tower not only increases its range but also boosts health.
At first it may take a few seconds to heal your troops after a grueling battle, but as you unlock more heroes and increase units that come under their command, healing all of them will take some time. To reduce healing time, upgrade the Hospital building.
So you have unlocked new heroes, but can only deploy a max of 2 heroes at a time? This is because you haven't upgraded the Deployment camp.
It is a tiny creaky wooden house, but upgrading it will allow you to deploy more heroes in combat. It requires wood, so make sure you collect wood from the wood mill, build the lumberjack cabin to increase production and build the lumberyard to increase the storage capacity because you will be needing lots of wood to upgrade the deployment camp.
Normally a barrack is activated when it is attacked or nearby towers attacked. But I noticed that sometimes whenever I find a new opponent before starting my attack I notice that the barracks already started making troops like automatically…..how is this possible and how do I make my barracks automatically start even before the enemy attacks?
Did you ever figure this out. I am looking for an answer also.
Could be a bug. There are quite a few complaints regarding barracks automatically spawning before you launch an attack in appgrooves.com.
Please help me find out how to buy a shield. Without shield I am defeated by enemy attack.
I have noticed that shields are automatically enabled when you don't play for hours, and this usually happens after an enemy attack. When you open the app after a few hours, you will find the shield icon and the hours (14 or 15 hours) remaining beside it. No one will be able to attack you, so make the most of the shield's time to make your base stronger. However, it will be disabled if you attack someone. The shield icon is located just beside your name, on the upper-left corner of the screen.


A plant of Hedge mustard produces a half million seeds.
Prescot's hedge mustard, ivy leaved toadflax and smooth soapwort blooms, but its Danish scurvy grass has now gone to seed.
Another plant, the sweetly-named Jack-By-The-Hedge, also known as Hedge Mustard, grows like a weed all over the place, and can be found in healthy condition along walls and in pastures at this time of the year.

IntroductionIntroduction Programme Onchocercoses is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Fund). Our research network is based on more than 30 years of successful partnership of research institutes in Germany and our partners based in Cameroon. Onchocerciasis is also known as river blindness because the blackfly which transmits the disease breeds in rivers; it often blinds people, as well as causing debilitating skin disease. Over 37 million people have been infected (source WHO), often affecting those living in poor, rural African communities. There is currently no official data about the levels of blindness in Cameroon, but it is estimated that about 1% of the population are blind (Sightsavers International), with the principal causes being cataract, river blindness, corneal scarring and refractive error. Ivermectin-mass treatments have been used to cure onchocerciasis and has been available for the past 15-20 years to the villages in our study area. As the life-expectancy of adult Onchocerca volvulus is about 10 to 15 years, it is expected that the endemicity of human onchocerciasis has now dropped to lower levels of endemicity. Planned projects Successful control of human onchocerciasis by mass-distribution of ivermectin (APOC) depends largely of two factors: The implication of additional control measures –…

Simulium vectorsSimulium damnosum s.l. is the main vector of human onchocerciasis in Cameroon and is also the main local vector of Onchocerca ochengi. There are at least 4 main (sub-)species found in the rain-forest and savanna: Simulium sirbanum: A small and very pale species, only found in the Sudan savanna. Simulium damnosum sensu stricto: Savanna mainly, but now also found since 1986 in the forest near Kumba Simulium squamosum: Forest and Guinee-savanna. There are probably several subspecies of S. suamosum; very dark ones in the forest and pale ones in the savana. Simulium mengense: Forest only, but occasionally also observed in the savanna These species can be distinguished by their morphology (see figure), as they come in the adult stage to bite on man. More precisely, identification can be done on the salivary gland chromosomes ("cytotaxonomy"). We examined over 100 Simulium breeding sites in varius bioclimatic zones of Camerroon. The results of the cytotaxonomic identification of the larvae found is given here. Other Simulium flies, like S. bovis, S. dukei, S. griseicolle, S. adersi etc. are occasinally caught on man. Filarial larvae are found in S. bovis (vector of O. ramachandrini, O. ochengi and possibly also O. volvulus) and S. griseicolle (filarial species not yet identified)

Filarial SpeciesWhilst Onchocerca volvulus, the human parasite that causes riverblindness, is commonly known, there is a large number of nun-human Onchocerca and other filarial species found in cattle, game animals and birds. Their infective larvae are encountered in bloodfeeding vectors and must be distinguished from the of human filarial species. Furthermore, some infective larvae of non-human species may occasionally develop in the human host and cause 'zoonotic filariasis/onchocerciasis' In the following, Onchocerca species of catte and other filarial species found in Cameroon, shall be presented: Filarial species found in Zebu cattle in Cameroon: …. under construction….

The Molecular Biology Laboratory:
In 1997, the first thermocycler was bought and brought to Cameroon by Ralph Seidenfaden. Together with Daniel Achukwi from IRAD, we set up the PCR for detecting filarial-larvae in Simulium vectors with the aim of distinguishing the three main Onchocerca species, namely O. volvulus, O. ochengi and O. ramachandrini. Their L3 larvae are morphologically quiet similar, but can be distinguished during routine dissections by their length, shape of the tail and the presence of a small tip at the posterior end.
Infective larvae found in Simulium damnosum in Cameroon (A. Renz)
This morphological classification needs to be confirmed by molecular biology techniques. In particular in an endemic situation, where 'true' O. volvulus L3 became very rare as a result of over 20 years of Mectizan-masstreatments, like at our fly-catching site in the Vina du Nord valley at Soramboum (see results).
river Vina du Nord near Touboro in 1986
Typical oncho-exposure site at the river Vina du Nord near Touboro (close to the border to Chad).
People are bitten by Simulium flies, which might carry filarial larvae taken up by a previous bloodmeal on am Onchocerca-infected person or animal (=> Onchocerca-transmission cycles).
Biting rates may exceed 100 bites per person and day and up to 5 % of these flies may carry infective Onchocerca larvae (L3).
To distinguish the human from the animal Onchocerca-larvae, molecular-genetic tools are now introduced. This is the more important, as the regular treatment of the human population by Mectizan (since 1987, now by APOC) has virtually eliminated most of the human-pathogenic O. volvulus larvae. The few remaining larvae of this species still present in man-biting flies must be unequivocally distinguished from those of O. ochengi (cattle) and O. ramachandrini (warthog) and other non-human filarial worms.
In our DFG-project, Albert Eisenbarth has just finished building up the bio-molecular lab. He uses PCR to amplify filarial genes from all kind of Simulium and other blood-sucking flies, coming to bite on man and cattle. The identity of single filarial larvae (and microfilariae, adults etc.) is then confirmed by sequencing of the PCR-products in Tübingen. The same approach is used to identify Ceratopogonid and Culicid vectors, that are likely to be the yet unknown vectors for O. armillata, O. gutturosa and Setaria labiatopapillosa in this region.

With surveys showing that more than 30% of Auckland businesses are having difficulty recruiting suitably skilled and experienced staff, economic development minister Steven Joyce's announcement that a re-elected National Government will set up job fairs for New Zealand employers in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to recruit skilled Kiwis is exactly the kind of support policy business is looking for.
"In Auckland and the upper North Island there are skilled job shortages across the board, but especially in the construction trades, ICT industries and heavy truck driving," noted Mr Barnett.
In November, there is a targeted employment event in Perth for New Zealand employers looking to recruit returning New Zealanders and other skilled nationalities leaving Western Australia.
"Extending the recruitment campaign to job fairs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane without delay sends a great signal to business that if re-elected the Government would hit the ground running with pragmatic initiatives designed to get quick results," concluded Mr Barnett.

A Museum Exhibit You Can't Lego
Written By Editor on December 15, 2015
• Lego• Museum of Science and Industry
Adam Reed Tucker built a LEGO® model of the Museum of Science and Industry in 2013. (J.B. Spector/Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago)
Earlier this year we told you about IIT student Rocco Buttliere, who's been busy recreating downtown Chicago in Lego. You may also remember that his work is so impressive that he's been invited to show it off at a major Lego event in London. Well, you don't have to go all the way to Blighty to see some crafty brickwork.
Chicago's own Museum of Science and Trucking Industry is opening a new exhibit next year called Brick by Brick, which features the Lego artistry of Adam Reed Tucker, a professional Legophile. Legomeister. Legographer. Lego-putting-together-guy.
The star of the show sounds like the 60-foot-long Golden Gate Bridge. But Mr. Tucker is also working on a large-scale model of the museum, itself. There's a picture of it below. The picture above is a smaller version he made a couple of years ago.
(Thanks to Bob Johnson at the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois for the tip!)

MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY TO PREMIERE BRICK BY BRICK IN MARCH 2016
Hands-on exhibit features spectacular creations by LEGO® Certified Professional, Adam Reed Tucker
CHICAGO—Explore the power of play at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago's temporary exhibit Brick by Brick, opening March 10, 2016.
This 7,000-square-foot exhibit, developed and created by MSI, will feature a spectacular collection of more than a dozen giant LEGO®-built structures of engineering marvels, including a 60-foot long Golden Gate Bridge, the International Space Station, St. Louis Gateway Arch, Hoover Dam, Roman Colosseum and more, constructed by LEGO® Certified Professional and Chicago native, Adam Reed Tucker. These formations will be paired with hands-on building challenges that reinforce key principles of engineering, construction and architecture—and encourage creativity.
"At the essence of innovation, science and engineering is creativity, and the simple act of 'play' is its catalyst," said Kurt Haunfelner, vice president of exhibits and collections at the Museum of Science and Industry. "This exhibit explores that close relationship, using a very relatable and much-loved toy, the LEGO® brick. We want both kids and adults to come in this exhibit and leave motivated by the idea that play is a powerful thing, and that a new world can come from a single brick."
Throughout the exhibit, guests will learn how architects and engineers push the limits of design, materials and location to make the seemingly impossible, possible; witness how form follows function; learn how building beautifully uplifts us all; and explore Chicago's impact as the birthplace of the skyscraper.
Exhibit stations and challenges will allow guests to:
Build and test structures to withstand earthquakes at the tremor table and heavy winds in a wind tunnel.
Walk over a simulated city on a sturdy I-beam to feel its strength.
Collaborate to build a life-sized arch.Use simple machines and engineering to lift their friends, or themselves!
Build your own LEGO® creation in an open build area.See how great architectural creations—both real and LEGO- based—have come together in fascinating time-lapse footage.
See futuristic LEGO® structures constructed by architecture firms in response to predicted challenges our cities will face.
Discover how Adam Reed Tucker, LEGO® Certified Professional, became inspired to pursue architecture and build with the brick.
The exhibit will open March 10, 2016 and will run through April 2017. It will require an additional, timed-entry ticket.
Location: 5700 South Lake Shore Drive, East Hyde Park

3D Wall Sculpture
Ed Jaffe Carves his Niche into Torrington
Burgeoning arts scene
Fresh Inspiration: Marble Sculpture & Paintings by Ed Jaffe
Jaffe prepares for final Virginia art exhibit
Marble Sculpture & Paintings by Ed Jaffe
Sculptor evokes haunting images of lost civilizations
Article that appeared in "Country and Abroad Magazine" . September 2017
A new artistic force had moved to Litchfield County. Ed Jaffe is one of our new best kept secrets and he feels that Torrington is not far behind. Jaffe has lived his life in 20 year cycles. 20 years to grow up. 20 years as a photographer in New York, 20 years learning to sculpt in Vermont and 20 years as an artist/gallery owner in Virginia. He moved to Torrington because it was time to come home to New England and be closer to family. He picked Torrington because the past few years had shown it to be a community surging with creative growth . It also had the property he wanted which included a 4000 sq ft dairy barn which he could convert to a studio/gallery. First he had to change the zoning so it would allow an artist to live and work on his property. Then he set up the Artist Relocation Program which is being used to recruit new artists to the city. Two years into his move he has finally found the time to introduce himself to you as a working artist .
As he puts it, "I am creating my fifth 20 year cycle here in Litchfield County ."
In looking at the tremendous inventory of thought provoking work, one can see that the first four "cycles" of his life were full of endless stimulation and travel that fostered a roaring river of creativity.
By looking at Ed Jaffe's artwork, one can see his journey from his beginning's as a photographer for major publications in New York to his discovery of sculpture when Life magazine did a feature story on the resurgence of wood sculpture in 1958 , That article helped change his life and he remembers saying "I can do that". Sculpture became his hobby for many years and the last piece of the puzzle came in 1972 when the agency for Arnold Bread sent him to Vermont for a week to shoot a new campaign. He never stopped going back. A few years later he had built a home, moved his family and changed his life. For the next 20 years he became a sculptor .
With Ed's sculpture there are no "please don't touch" signs. Actually he enjoys it when someone is connected to a piece of his sculpture and feels compelled to place their hands on it, He has said many times, "If I can make a lady caress a rock I must have done something right."
The physical toll of sculpting stone gradually took over along with time and as much as he hated to give it up his body said now is he time so he switched to doing more paintings and began working in clay. There are still about 100 pieces of marble available for collectors but when it comes to stone, that is the end of it.
Ed has always found a sense of place and inspiration when he traveled to the Mediterranean and South America One of those trips could feed his work for a year. Creatively he has always been influenced by cultures that were not his own . He will often say that he is a sculptor who paints and his goal is to see how much three dimension he can put on a two dimensional plane . The canvases are quite different from the sculpture which has round, caressing and almost a primal nurturing that brings comfort to all that view them.
In what would seem to be a logical next step, Ed has incorporated both sculpture and painting into one medium. His 3-D wall art. These pieces quite literally jump off the wall and have tremendous textural qualities. They offer something quite different since they change throughout the day as the light in the room changes, They look heavy but they are easy to use as they are light enough to hang on a picture hook . Ed is without any doubt, an artist to the core with creativity in every fiber. Each and every discipline tells a life long tale of quest and enlightenment.
To round out the Torrington story,
What was rather unexpected for Ed was when his journey began in Litchfield County . Something a bit different had occurred compared to other places in the world where he had landed. He had purchased a farm on the Westside of Torrington where a 1900's cow barn would be his base to showcase his past works and incubate his future creations. He noticed that there were hurdles that stood in his way like being able to have a home studio to allow visitors and clients that he met over his 70 years of creating to visit and purchase new pieces for their collections. He then did what he was told was the impossible. In advocating for artists to be able to set up their own creative and living space, he added a new dimension to his reputation and he has become known as an advocate for artists . Ed created a new zoning regulation that allowed artists to live, work and sell in their homes. This was good for the artist and good for the community . He has a basic mantra, Bring in the artists and everything else will follow.
Ed recognizes that the true path to revitalization has always begun with artists colonizing a given area. It begins with the artists that look for an area that is cost-effective for them to relocate to pursue their passion. As we have seen many times in the past most notably in Greenwich Village where artists first congregated as an inexpensive place to live in New York City, property value steadily increased over the years. One can say that artists are the prelude to economic vitality and one would not be far off the mark.
After he was victorious in instituting this zoning change, with the help of Torrington city planner Marty Connor, Ed felt content that he can get back to his purpose and passion – creating his next body of work .
Curious? Ed would enjoy showing you around his studio so give him a call his cell at 914-715-2055 to set up a time to come by.
The lights will be on when you get there.
