How the first cable was laid across the Atlantic
By Duncan Geere
We try and maintain a laserlike focus on the future at Wired, but sometimes it's worth taking a look back at the innovations of the past. On August 16, 1858, the first message was sent across the Atlantic by telegraph cable, reading "Glory to God in the highest; on earth, peace and good will toward men". The transmission marked the culmination of 19 years of dreams, plans and hard work, bridging the economic and political systems of both the UK and the USA.
The idea of a transatlantic communications cable was first floated in 1839, following the introduction of the working telegraph by Wiliam Cooke and Charles Wheatstone. Samuel Morse, the inventor of Morse code, threw his weight behind it in 1840, and by 1850, a link had been laid between Britain and France. The same year, construction began on a telegraph line up the far north-east coast of North America -- from Nova Scotia to the very tip of Newfoundland.
The team behind the east-coast cable was led by Frederick Newton Gisborne, a telegraph engineer from Lancashire, who lived in Nova Scotia. However, the line didn't prove too lucrative, and in 1853 the company collapsed. His fortunes changed, however, when he was introduced to Cyrus West Field, a businessman and financier from New York City.
Field took Gisborne's idea -- that the east-coast cable could be extended across the Atlantic to Britain -- and set about making it happen. He consulted Morse on the technical requirements, as well as a noted oceanographer named Matthew Maury, and after being satisfied that the project was feasible, formed the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company.

Field began to raise funds for the transatlantic expedition by selling shares in London and in New York in a parent company called the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The British government helped Field out with a subsidy of £1,400 per year, which works out as about £150,000 today, and the financier managed to get the US congress to help out, too, despite fierce opposition from Anglophobe senators. Field also supplied a quarter of the funds for the cable himself.
In 1857, the first attempt was made. A cable consisting of seven copper wires was manufactured by a pair of English companies --
Glass Elliot & Co from Greenwich, and R.S.Newall & Co from Liverpool. The cable's protective qualities were important -- it was covered with a latex made from gutta-percha, which was thought to be resilient to attack from marine plants and animals, wound with tarred hemp and surrounded by a spiralling sheath of iron wire. The idea was to allow for a pull of several tons, but still be relatively flexible.
Two ships -- the HMS Agamemnon and the USS Niagara -- set sail from near Ballycarbery Castle in County Kerry, on the southwest coast of Ireland on August 5, 1857. On the first day of the expedition, however, the cable broke and had to be grappled from the sea floor and repaired.
Soon after, the cable broke again at a depth of 3.2km, and the operation was called off for the year.

Undaunted, Field attempted the connection again the following year. After experiments in the Bay of Biscay had been conducted, the plan was changed -- the Niagara and Agamemnos met in the centre of the Atlantic on 26 June and attached their respective cables to each other, then headed for opposite sides of the ocean. Again, the cable broke -- once after less than 6km had been laid, again after about 100km and then a third time when 370km had been laid. The boats returned to port.
Despite low morale among the crews, a third expedition set out.
The boats met in the centre of the Atlantic on 29 July, 1858, and attached the cables together. The ships veered off-course wildly, due to the ships' compasses being affected by the magnetic field generated by the electrically-charged coiled cable, but that problem was solved by a pilot boat used for navigation. Crucially, there were no cable breaks, and the Niagara made it to Trinity Bay in Newfoundland on 4 August, and the Agamemnon arrived at Valentia Island off the west coast of Ireland on 5 August. Over the following days, the shore ends were landed on both sides using a team of horses, and tests were conducted.
Then, on 16 August, the first message was successfully sent, and was swiftly followed by a telegram of congratulation from Queen Victoria to US President James Buchanan, which expressed a hope that the communications cable would create: "an additional link between the nations whose friendship is founded on their common interest and reciprocal esteem".
Buchanan shot back a rather more flowery response which said that "it is a triumph more glorious, because far more useful to mankind, than was ever won by conqueror on the field of battle. May the Atlantic telegraph, under the blessing of heaven, prove to be a bond of perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations, and an instrument destined by Divine Providence to diffuse religion, civilization, liberty, and law throughout the world".

His verbose message will have caused headaches for the operators. The reception across the cable was terrible, and it took an average of two minutes and five seconds to transmit a single character. The first message took 17 hours and 40 minutes to transmit.
On 3 September, 1858, the cable failed. In an attempt to increase the speed of transmission, the voltage on the line was boosted from 600V to 2,000V, and the insulation on the cable couldn't cope. It failed over the course of a few hours, and it would be another six years before the capital was raised for another attempt. "It's still down there", John Kincey, a principal engineer from Cable & Wireless Worldwide and an expert on transatlantic undersea cables, told Wired.co.uk. "Most of them are. They're cleared near the beaches so that they don't interfere with fishing, but in most cases they're still at the bottom of the sea."
There have been some moves to recover the copper from the cables, which is valuable, but in many cases they can be a nuisance to modern cable engineers. "We'll be trying to repair a cable," said Kincey, "and we'll pull up the wrong one."
However, although we're now laying fibreoptic cables rather than copper ones, Kincey says the techniques in laying and protecting the cables are still remarkable similar. "You've still got the same principles in effect. The cable is still covered with helical steel wires to protect the central core, and breaks are found by testing the resistance of the metal inside to determine the length before there's a break."
The major difference is the capacity. "While the first few cables could only manage a few words per minute", says Kincey, "modern submarine cables can transmit more like 84,000,000,000 words per second." Cable & Wireless Worldwide have plans to increase that further, with 100Gbit/s line systems expected to come online within the next 18 months -- 50,000 times greater per fibre than the first fibreoptic cable that went live in 1988.
So next time you're reading our US colleagues' website over a transatlantic fibreoptic cable, remember the steadfast work of Frederick Gisborne and Cyrus Field back in 1858, in a pair of boats in the middle of the Atlantic.

Q: Need clarification about logic behind precedence of operators Currently skim through about c++, but at below example my brain stuck.
at the res variable, example have preincrement of a,b and c integer values.
When I print it out first one have output of a = 1, b = 0, c=0
at the second part output is a = 1, b = 0, c=0
    int a, b, c;
    a = 0;
    b = 0;
    c = 0;
    res = ++a || ++b && ++c;
    cout << '\n'
        << " res = " << res
        << ", a = " << a
        << ", b = " << b
        << ", c = " << c << endl;
    a = b = c = 0;
    res = ++a && ++b || ++c;
    cout << " res = " << res
        << ", a = " << a
        << ", b = " << b
        << ", c = " << c << endl;

both of them I'm expecting output as a = 1, b = 1, c=1 because I have already incremented variables.
From output I understand if after || operator, nothing is evaluated? I need clarification. Thanks.

At Dr. Tam's dental office in Halifax, we offer a variety of solutions in cosmetic dentistry to assist you in your desire to change the aesthetic of your mouth. Please view the services below, but also feel free to check out our services pages for a more in-depth look at what our Halifax dentist can offer you.
Lumineers: A lumineer is a cosmetic procedure for permanently stained, chipped, discoloured, or even misaligned teeth. But working for more than just teeth, they can even recolour old dental crowns or dental bridgework.
Lumineers can be made as thin as a contact lens, but are much stronger than one. Additionally, a lumineer functions much like a veneer. However, they can be placed over an existing tooth without requiring the removal of the tooth's natural structure.
Waterlase: This procedure uses a Hydrokinetic process to help remove oral decay. The process itself uses YSGG laser-energised water droplets to help with the removal of surface decay on a tooth. This hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water which results in Waterlase. By using natural water that is excited by lasers and pressurised, we help reduce the use of dental drills in our procedures.
As the water connects with the tooth, it has the added effect of cooling the heat produced from the procedure. This helps reduce pain that may be caused from the tooth overheating and helps reduce the smell associated with similar procedures. The specific focus of the Waterlase procedure allows precision, giving your Halifax dentist more of a chance to work on specific needs while reducing the chance of unwanted damage to the tooth. Waterlase can be used for a variety of dental procedures, including: root canals, decay removal, cavity preparation, as well as general soft tissue procedures and general dentistry in Halifax for enamel and dentin.
If you would like more information on our array of our procedures within cosmetic dentistry in Halifax, contact us today! Alternatively, you can request an appointment online.

U.S. defeats Sweden in Women's World Cup, advances to knockout round
The United States women's national team beat No. 9 ranked Sweden in their final group stage match of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, with a final score of 2-0.
With the win, the U.S. wins Group F and will now face Spain in the knockout phase. Second place Sweden will face Canada, who were runners up in Group E. Both matches are Monday, June 24.

The United States wasted no time getting on the board earning a corner kick in the third minute of play. U.S. forward Megan Rapinoe sent a low bouncing ball into the box that somehow missed every Sweden defender. It found its way to Lindsey Horan who made no mistake getting into the net quickly for the first goal of the game.

After some back and forth play, each team had some good chances to add tallies. But after the first 45, the U.S. took a 1-0 lead into the break.
It took until the second half for the U.S. to get on the board again. A long ball was played into the box for Tobin Heath who danced in close to get it into the net. After review, the tally was marked as an own goal, touched in the end by Sweden's Jonna Andersson. The goal was the 18th of the tournament for the U.S., setting a record for most goals by a single team in the group stage of the tournament.
While it wasn't the blowout fans have come to expect, it got the job done. The USWNT ties Germany as the only two teams to win their Group seven times. Head coach Jill Ellis extends her all-time World Cup record to nine wins and one draw.

That knowing is not intellectual or emotional.
But you are CERTAIN you know that person.
Or what about those times when you are walking out the door and suddenly you know for fact "I am forgetting something…". That Inner Knowing tells you when you have forgotten something and it is not emotional cause you don't get overwhelmed emotionally, nor is it intellectual because if it was you would remember exactly what it was that you are forgetting.
Depending on the intensity of concern you are likely to stop and run through a list of the possibilities. What is also curious is, as you run through your mental list, you KNOW FOR FACT what it isn't. Then, if you are lucky, what has been forgotten is identified as you take a victory breath while saying "YES, that's it!".
So I ask, where is the absolute KNOWING "I forgot something…" coming from?
The place inside you, the one that remembers people you can't place, or knows you have forgotten something, is the same place and space where your powerful guiding force is located.
I use these two examples because you have already experienced them and know what it feels like to have a deep Inner Knowing of total certainty, that is neither intellectual, nor emotional. Most people make decisions based on intellect (information, rationalization, experiences) and/or their emotions (needs, fears, desires) because it is often faster, easier and "feels safer", even if that sense of safety is merely an illusion. Other times, patterned behaviors and knee jerk reactions are choosing a person's life path for them. There is nothing wrong with these methods for making decisions, but there is another way that may have more to offer you.
Some people hear their Inner Knowing, but discredit it, blow it off, think themselves crazy (or paranoid) or let their emotions take the steering wheel. Like when you are about to make an illegal turn or are driving too fast and that little voice senses a police car. Every driving ticket I have was because I refused to honor the police car alert from my Inner Knowing. When it isn't your head or heart talking you away from your Inner Knowing it may be outside social pressure who is taking the driver's seat of YOUR life while you stand there and hand them the keys.
Inner Knowing reaches you at times of importance, danger and when you are open, synchronized and connected to life with a willingness to trust what society has taught you to disregard.
Anyone who has ever followed the call(s) of Inner Knowing is likely to share, with hindsight, that the direction indicated was asking them to have the courage of a dragon while they were feeling like a lost and hungry mouse. The mind is screaming NO as it gives you a printed list of EVERY reason why you shouldn't. And your heart is looking on Amazon to buy the strongest 5 star rated suit of armor.
Following your Inner Knowing takes courage, curiosity, trust and an openness to the unknown adventure that lies ahead. There is no rush of excited adrenaline, but no sense of imminent doom. While it feels scary and discomforting, it is tranquil and calm like a flat glass top lake on a beautiful quiet day, and there is a sense of "rightness" that defies EVERYTHING else.
♦ If I want to hear and follow my Inner Guide and be on MY path, then I have to let go of the need to fit in, please others, "belong" or avoid conflict.
♦ It is impossible to please everyone all the time, so I might as well choose to be on MY path (with peaceful respect for others).
♦ No matter what path I choose there will be ups and downs. I might as well live the ones on mine.
♦ In an effort to force me into compliance, some individuals will use threats, humiliation, shame, compliments, gifts or bribes. The more I hold fast to my Inner Knowing the more vigorous (sometimes abusive) their tactics.
♦ Strong objection (resistance if you prefer) is sometimes masking a grain of wisdom. It is up to me to gently peel away the layers to reveal the priceless gem that was begging and wanting to be communicated.
♦ The path indicated is often the path less traveled, never before traveled or the one I would prefer not to walk. If I am clear inside (NO agenda) and the direction is deeply "right", then I know the path will offer me more than it may be asking of me.
♦ Inner Knowing shows up when the timing is right. It doesn't show up faster because I am uncomfortable or under pressure.
♦ Sometimes I hear or sense a "No, Wait". It is in what is revealed in the waiting, that lights up the path I need to follow.
♦ I often don't feel ready or prepared for where I am headed. Each step prepares me for the next, so I have to be paying attention to what is happening now.
♦ My biggest successes were often where others judged me to be on the road to my biggest "failure".
♦ My Inner Knowing must not be silenced. Nor in airplane mode. I need to be open to it 24/7, not just on Monday mornings or during meditation time.
♦ It is up to me to discern the underlying truth and direction, often through self-inquiry. For example, if I am feeling fear I need to know if the fear is indicating that I am headed in the WRONG direction, OR if it is simply indicating that I just moved beyond the borders of my comfort zone.
♦ When I am doubting or it doesn't feel clear, then I sit and wait quietly for more knowing to arrive.
♦ My Inner Knowing feels CLEAN (quiet, respectful, calm and resolute). If there is a speck of defensiveness, need to prove myself, make others wrong or I am wanting a specific outcome then I am NOT "clean".
Following my Inner Guide has given me the chance to know what true courage and humility are. The courage to be honest, the courage to ask the tough question(s), the courage to hear the truth and the courage to walk the path I am being offered.
The meaning of my life has come from following my Inner Guide, it's the same source that lets me know "I know that person, and don't know how" or the one that says "I forgot something…".
Looking back I see many of my decisions make no logical nor emotional sense. Some seem careless or reckless, even though they were never in disrespect for myself or others. As I walked the path less traveled I saw my choices not only saved my life, but let me be alive while living it.
Get in the driver's seat of YOUR life. Your Inner Knowing and Guide have a path that is far more alive in unexpected and magical ways, than the one your mind or heart may be limiting you to.

Everybody Is Tipper Gore Now
Joaquin Phoenix attends the premiere of Joker in Los Angeles, Calif., September 28, 2019. (Mario Anzuoni/Reuters) The moralistic busybodies were wrong in the Eighties. They're wrong today.
When it comes to bad ideas, there's always room at the bottom.
Conservatives used to exasperatedly observe of gun-grabbing Democrats, "Imagine how they'd complain if someone tried to treat the First Amendment the way they treat the Second Amendment!"
Hold my cappuccino, says Andrew Marantz of The New Yorker. Writing in the New York Times under the headline "Free Speech Is Killing Us" — and Marantz argues that is literally true — he argues that the gun-control program should be taken as a template for a speech-control program. He has come to this conclusion, he writes, after "having spent the past few years embedding as a reporter with the trolls and bigots and propagandists." Some reporters are embedded in Afghanistan, and some are "embedded" on Twitter, which is a great place to be embedded in that you can do it while you are literally embedded, at home, in bed. The thing to understand, I suppose, is that this is a war story.
Marantz's argument is drearily predictable. He writes that he does not want to repeal the First Amendment and then makes a case for gutting it, mired in vagueness (foreswearing the position of the "free-speech absolutist" but offering no controlling principle) with a great deal of not obviously plausible dot-connecting, and then moves on to what this is really about: an enemies list, in this case beginning with Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos, a couple of attention-hungry entrepreneurial charlatans who always have been and always will be found at the margins of public life. He offers many infinitely plastic pretexts under which speech to which he objects might be suppressed, among them "equality, safety, and robust democratic participation." He also proposes government subsidies for the kind of speech of which he approves, having discovered that "the Constitution prevents the government from using sticks, but it says nothing about carrots," which surely would be news to the nation's religiously affiliated schools, among others.
Marantz is the author of a book about "online extremists," because the guy who proposes gutting the Bill of Rights is worried about extremism.
The "x might plausibly encourage y" argument against free speech has been with us for a very long time. It was the basis for the persecution of heretics in the Christian world, the censorship that John Milton criticized in the 17th century, the suppression of war protesters in the United States (the legal justification of which is the origin of the ubiquitous "fire in a crowded theater" trope), and the effort to censor and marginalize rap music in the 1980s, a project that brought to public prominence a woman called Tipper Gore, at the time Mrs. Al. Mrs. Gore's name became, for a generation, the national shorthand for prudish blue-rinsed tight-assery allied to scheming political opportunism. She was a figure of fun, loathed by all right-thinking people.
But Tipper Gore–ism, like the poor, syphilis, and usury, we shall always have with us.
Director Todd Phillips has made a kind of superhero movie, Joker, which forgoes the usual tights-and-tights comic-book formula to tell a different kind of story, a psychologically realistic account of the interaction of loneliness, despair, poverty, and cruelty. Surprisingly for what is, at after, a species of Batman film, it was awarded the Leone d'Oro for best film at the Venice Film Festival,and Joaquin Phoenix's nomination for an Academy Award for his performance already is generally assumed.
But we live in philistine times, and the mob demands that art serve them. For that reason, film, television, literature, music, and much else is subjected to a standard of social utilitarianism, meaning that they are not judged on aesthetic criteria but for their value as propaganda, moral instruction, or therapy. Therapeutic notions are at the moment especially prevalent; that is why press criticism of Game of Thrones, to take one example, dealt with questions of demographic "representation" to the exclusion of almost everything else.
And so Joker is challenged on its "fitness for the present political moment," as Sam Adams puts it in Slate. "Is this really the time for a story about a frustrated, alienated white man who turns to violence?" he asks. Of course it is, which is why there are at least five productions of Coriolanus under way, and the bestsellers lists are full of worked about frustrated, alienated white men who turn to violence — strangely, no one criticizes Margaret Atwood on those grounds. (What, The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments aren't about frustrated, violent white guys?) Joker is in fact now criticized on the grounds of empathy, or at least suspicion of empathy. "Because our point of empathy in the film is Phoenix's troubled Arthur, Joker basically dodges the question of whether we're supposed to read his acts of violence as redemptive or abhorrent," three (!) authors write in the Hollywood Reporter. The filmmakers, in this view, "leave themselves open to such charges of irresponsibility." The New York Times complains:
Joker is also causing deep unease. Some people, including a few rank-and-file employees on the Warner Bros. lot, worry that the violent, hyper-realistic movie is potentially dangerous — that rather than critiquing the societal failings that have given rise to America's mass-shooter crisis, the film legitimizes such atrocities and could provoke more of them.
In much the same way that the left-wing cultural vanguard that once presented itself as the check on and alternative to corporate power immediately embraced corporate power upon getting its first real taste of it (the Left now is quite satisfied to deputize the HR departments of the Fortune 500 as guardians of political discipline), its members have grown friendlier to suppression of many kinds — and more hostile to heterodoxy — as their power has grown. Conservative critics of the National Endowment for the Arts once were treated to smug little homilies about how art is supposed to be transgressive, to challenge us, to make us uncomfortable, etc., and now we are treated to smug little sermonettes about the "dangerous" creation of films that cause "deep unease" among certain people who work at Warner Bros. or write for Slate or teach at Oberlin. (Aren't those exactly the powerful people we're supposed to want our art to make uncomfortable?) Reagan-era progressives scoffed when Tipper Gore and her allied church ladies panicked that the rise of rap music would turn America's streets into a blood-drenched warzone (hip-hop culture's eventual triumphant occupation of the commanding heights of pop in fact coincided with a dramatic decline in violent crime in the United States) or that Ozzy Osbourne songs were turning sweet towheaded kids in the suburbs into dope fiends and satanic little cannibals, or that violent video games were going to leave the real world looking like Grand Theft Auto. (It was enjoyable to remember the video-game panic when watching Ralph Breaks the Internet, in which the GTA ethos is revealed as being so neutered and rehabilitated that it is embodied by Gal Gadot, whose lines might well have been cribbed from self-help manuals.) Power changes everything.
The moralistic busybodies were wrong in the Eighties. They're wrong today. They deserved the contempt they received then. They deserve it now. The difference is that free speech and heterodoxy used to have allies in such venues as The New Yorker and the New York Times, where both political and artistic freedom now have so many enemies. But I understand that retro-Eighties nostalgia is hot right now. If we're going to bring back big hair and shoulder pads, we may as well resuscitate the public career of Tipper Gore, last seen skulking around Democratic fundraising circles at the junior-varsity level. Perhaps we could bring back Johnny Carson and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation while we're at it.
And maybe we can find someone to speak for the cause of art that declines to be subordinated to anybody's political agenda, current social-improvement projects, the tender sensibilities of critics at the New York Times, or the increasingly baroque rules of etiquette that organizes the lives of New Yorker readers as they sway in the wind like a field of ripe corn.
Nuclear annihilation remains the safer bet, but one may still dream.

As we move toward the opening of the 116thCongress, there are many ideas for reforming congressional rules and practice. One small but not insignificant change that might be considered relates to an issue that arises from time to time—when does a witness before Congress waive her Fifth Amendment privilege by making a voluntary exculpatory opening statement? We discussed this issue about five years ago in connection with Lois Lerner's appearance before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (see more here and here).
A 2015 law review article by Jason Kornmehl concludes that while the question is a close one, Lerner likely waived her Fifth Amendment rights "because her opening statement contained not only a general denial of wrongdoing, but also incriminating factual assertions as well as reference to the Inspector General's ambiguous findings in the audit report on the IRS." Kornmehl also makes two recommendations for future congressional practice: (1) congressional committees should not require witnesses to appear when it is absolutely certain they will invoke their privilege against self-incrimination and (2) witnesses who might invoke the privilege (e.g., if they are the subject of a parallel criminal investigation) should be advised that an opening statement may be deemed a waiver of the privilege, at least if it goes beyond a general assertion of innocence.
My own view is slightly different. When a witness advises a committee she intends to invoke the Fifth, there are valid reasons why it might nonetheless require her to appear, including the possibilities that she will change her mind or the committee will decide to offer her immunity. While no doubt there are instances when this power is abused, it is not necessarily improper for a committee to decide that a particular witness, particularly an executive branch official, should be required to invoke the privilege publicly.
I do, however, agree that committees should adopt rules and practices that clearly advise witnesses that making an opening statement may be deemed a waiver of the privilege. A witness should be able to state that she is acting on advice of counsel and that no adverse inferences should be drawn from her decision to follow that advice. Beyond that, witnesses and counsel should be advised that the committee will deem an opening statement to constitute a waiver of the privilege.
Last night the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (COGR) voted to approve a contempt resolution for Bryan Pagliano, who failed to appear before the committee in response to a subpoena to testify. Pagliano, you may recall, is the IT specialist who was in charge of setting up Secretary of State Clinton's private email server. Pagliano previously asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination in both congressional and Justice Department/FBI investigations. He was given use immunity by DOJ/FBI to provide information regarding their investigation into whether the use of the email server by Clinton or others violated laws against the disclosure or mishandling of classified information.
(1) seeking information about former Secretary Hillary Clinton's use of a private, non-secure email server during her time at the Department of State, as well as the transmittal of classified national security information on that server; (2) examining the circumstances that resulted in the failure to preserve federal records arising during Secretary Clinton's tenure, as required by the Federal Records Act, and to produce such records pursuant to Congressional requests or request made pursuant to the Freedom of Information and; (3) determining what, if any, changes to the Federal Records Act of 1950, Freedom of Information Act of 1966, Ethics in Government Act of 1978, or any other federal law(s) may be necessary to prevent these or similar circumstances from recurring.
No one, I think, would seriously dispute that these are proper matters for the committee to investigate, nor that Pagliano is a witness with information relevant to them.
This is not a new issue. Congressional committees have been faced with such objections for decades, at least since a 1977 DC Bar opinion that an attorney serving as counsel to a congressional committee was prohibited by the disciplinary rules from requiring a witness to appear at televised hearings when the committee had been notified in advance that the witness would refuse to answer questions based on the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
The House Counsel has issued this memorandum addressing the argument that Lois Lerner cannot be held in contempt because the Committee on Government Oversight and Reform failed to follow the proper procedures in overruling her objections. The memo provides additional factual detail regarding the committee's actions and communications with Lerner and her counsel. House Counsel states that "the factual record overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that Ms. Lerner would 'ha[ve] no cause to complain' if she were to be indicted and prosecuted under 2 U.S.C. § 192 because she was 'not forced to guess the [C]ommittee's ruling' on her Fifth Amendment claim." Memorandum at 12. Thus, "we think it highly unlikely a district court would dismiss a section 192 indictment of Ms. Lerner on the ground that she was insufficiently apprised that the Committee demanded her answers to its questions, notwithstanding her Fifth Amendment objection." Id. at 15.
House Counsel also points out that there is no reason at all to believe that the alleged infirmities in the committee's procedures would have any bearing on a civil enforcement action. Id. at 18-19.
Can Lois Lerner Skate on a Technicality?
On a snowy day, what could be better than snuggling up with some 1950s Supreme Court cases and getting deep into the technicalities of congressional contempt procedure? If your answer is "just about anything," you would not have enjoyed John Filamor's going-away party.
For the reasons set forth below, I don't think the Supreme Court cases relied on by Rosenberg and Brand support their conclusion. It is unlikely, in my opinion, that Lerner could escape criminal conviction on the grounds set forth in their memo. Moreover, as far as I can tell there is no basis for the suggestion that Lerner would be able to successfully defend a civil suit on this basis.
Perhaps more importantly, I do not think it appropriate for Representative Cummings to endorse this position. Lerner has skilled defense counsel who is more than capable of deciding whether it is in her interest to raise this hyper-technical defense should she be charged with criminal contempt. There are legitimate institutional reasons why Cummings might object to holding Lerner in contempt, but this is not one of them.

Respect | Ras Muhamad
Posted on January 2, 2015 July 12, 2015 by Irie
IRIE. Your music is pure roots reggae with just the right amount of dancehall and hip hop. Who are some of your musical influences?
Ras Muhamad: Perhaps so far in this interview, you could get a view that I'm quite diverse in terms of my musical influences. Lyrically I'm very much influenced by HipHop. Nas, Krs-One, Rakim, Gza are my top emcees. Iwan Fals, an Indonesian music icon is also one of my influences for my lyrics in terms of Social & conscious messages. Iwan Fals is regarded to be Indonesia's Bob Dylan. Sizzla even though not everytime I agree with his lyrics, is a lyricist I admire. He is extremely productive and consistent. He changed Roots Reggae with his progression-chord changes in his melody structure, he showed me in Reggae music you are free to express in anyway you can and what suits you best. He was also the first that put militant, conscious Rasta message on a Dancehall riddim. In my eyes, first time in the scene Kaloji was like John Coltrane when he shifted and gave hints to Free Jazz. Sizzla was the first to strain and scream on a Reggae riddim in which many didn't get. Let alone Sizzla's song catalogue would remind you of another artist by the name of 2pac.
IRIE. In February 2013, you published your first book, 'Negeri Pelangi' which in Indonesian means 'Rainbow Country.' The book details your journey through Ethiopia as well as your thoughts on the Rastafari Movement. Without giving away too much about the book, can you share with us the similarities you discovered between Indonesia's modern history and the Pan-African struggle?
Ras Muhamad: egeri Pelangi meaning Rainbow Country was a book that I wrote that was nationally published in Indonesia. It's an account of my journey to Ethiopia, the Rastaman's promised land and also my over a decade-long of my meditations of the Rastafari movement and what it means to me as an Indonesian. My journey to Ethiopia was a spiritual revelation; I learned so many things and experienced so many things also. I learn to love the Emperor more, my Emperor; I n I Emperor His Majesty Qadamawi Haile Selassie. Reggae music in Ethiopia now is actually refreshing the "glory days" memory of Ethiopia to Ethiopian youths during King Selassie's reign. I even had a spiritual experience breaking the chain of my wristwatch while chanting "the Lion of Judah shall break every chain" by the old railway station Lion of Judah statue in Addis Ababa. Pan-African struggle is also Indonesia's struggle; nations have endured and suffered so much due to Colonialism. Due to Colonialism Asians and Africans were forced to leave our way of life to assimilate with industrial western technology. We were forced to sustain in a way that wasn't our own and that resulted in fatalities. Many have fallen and many of us have forgotten ourselves. As I said before, Presiden Sukarno; Bung Karno wanted Asia and Africa to rise so we won't be trampled by Neo-Colonialist and Imperial powers. Just like the Pan-African revolutionary icon, Dr. Nkhruma, Ghana's First President; he said tomorrow there will be a new Africa and a new Asia. Non-alignment movement was part of Asia-Africa rising; Sukarno had a major role in developing the movement. Dr. Nkhruma and Emperor Haile Selassie set up the Organization of African Unity due to the Non-alignment movment and President Sukarno set up the Nefos (the New Emerging Forces) at nearly the same time. The New Emerging Forces organization was Sukarno's vision for newly independent countries to join hands so they won't be controlled by superpowers. This could coincide also with the message of Reggae music. I call it the Small Axe philosophy, former colonized countries rising against Babylon World-system. "big tree, we are the small axe. Sharpen to cut you down".
Setting aside petty skin complexion differences and physical traits, Asia and Africa share similar culture and also diversity. You could find Indonesians in Madagascar who came as sea-explorers and also in South Africa. Yet you could find Javanese Indonesians who were taken away to Suriname as indentured servants. There's the African Diaspora and also we have the Javanese diaspora due to Colonialism. For example, Africans were taken away to the Carribeans and then were called "West Indians" and cut off from the homeland of Africa. Indonesians were called "Dutch Indians". I am in no way Dutch and I am in no way an Indian, this I convey in the song called "Conquest" in my Salam album. The Pan-African struggle is to recognize and have solidarity for Africans and of African heritage and to end injustice against African peoples. Indonesia's creed is that no matter what complexion you are, what tribe you're from; we are first Indonesians living in the motherland that has been here for hundreds of generations. What's interesting today is that the Asia-Africa Museum in Bandung, West Java Indonesia in the Merdeka building, out of all African and Asian flags flying around the compound, it could be said that the Old Royal Ethiopian flag with the Lion of Judah emblem is still flying in an official Indonesian stae building. Merdeka building of Asia-Africa museum is said to be the house for all Asians and Africans.
Now King Haile Selassie once said of Pan-Africanism "where there is African blood, there must be a greater sense of African unity." Scientifically speaking, to me the human genome carries the DNA that links all of us to Africa, so there need to be greater sense for humankind to unite, work together instead of trying to dominate each other.

Mystery land is ID&T's largest annual festival, with a capacity of about 55.000 visitors. It is a very diverse festival in both audience and musical programming, that ranges from Hardstyle to Hiphop. Because it is so diverse we felt that the one thing all visitors had in common was the location itself. They are in fact all citizens of Mysteryland but maybe they live in different areas of the same place. Instead of creating one image to convey both attitude and atmosphere, we decided instead to create an alphabet that can spell out and thereby visualise anything including the name Mysteryland itself. The name is the message, the word is the picture.

Redeemer and Rochedale's History
The site of Redeemer Lutheran College was originally owned by George and Joan Nott, stalwarts of the Rochedale farming community. Joan Nott was a member of the Francis family. She had been a foundation student at Rochedale State School when it opened in 1931. Her brother Colin was one of the strongest supporters of the college for many years in a variety of ways. Four of his grandsons attended the college. One taught there for some years. His brother's son-in-law was a foundation member of the College Council, and for many years its Chair. The Nott family themselves were excellent neighbours to the college, always supportive and understanding, and genuinely interested in the development of the campus.
This was the land the purchase of which the Synodical resolution had approved. The land itself consisted of a block of twenty acres (eight hectares) with frontages to Rochedale Road and Priestdale Road. A two acre block on the corner under different ownership was not included, making the college property roughly L shaped. Rochedale Road ran along a ridge from which the land sloped gently to the west. Priestdale Road was a poorly formed gravel road which in bad weather was difficult to traverse. The Notts retained an adjacent twelve acres (five hectares) on the northern boundary on which their home was situated, and some of which was still under cultivation as a fruit orchard.
The property had an interesting history. It had been purchased in the early 1930's by George Nott when he was working as a cabinet maker for Mawson, a manufacturer of iceboxes in West End. Rochedale Road where it passed the southern part of the land was an unformed track. Clearing the land of its heavy timber was one of the early contracts for Thiess Brothers, which later became the construction and engineering giant, Thiess Holdings. The work was carried out mainly by tractor and chain. George told me once of the occasion when a large blast of gelignite was needed to remove a huge tree stump. Much of the district population gathered to watch the spectacular event.
Although the potential value of the standing timber was apparently not an issue when the land was first cleared, it is significant that times and values change together, and when the contract of sale to the Lutheran Church was signed, it was conditional on the vendors being permitted to remove as much as they wished of the millable timber before handover. Despite this provision several very large trees still stood when the church took possession of the property.
During 1979 a generous offer was made by Thiess Bros to undertake at no cost the clearing and site preparation for the first college buildings. However although the plans for the work were forwarded to the company, the offer lapsed for reasons which were never made clear.
The conditions of the purchase were remarkably generous, and probably reflected both the interest of the Nott family in the project and their close family and community links with many of the proponents. A holding deposit of $8759 was paid of a total price of $180,000. $90,000 was to be paid on settlement, the balance being subject to negotiation. No fixed settlement date as set, possibly in recognition of the many approvals which had to be negotiated before the church would grant its final approval.
The Nott family
The whole of the property had not been cleared. The whole Rochedale Road frontage and the twelve acres retained by the Notts in 1979 were originally put under cultivation as well as part of the northern section of the land sold for the college. This latter portion was not farmed for many years, however, and at the time of the sale much of it was covered with regrowth of small trees and lantana, as well as bladey grass. As a young bachelor in the early 1930's George built a tin shed on his land and lived there, riding his bicycle from Rochedale to his cabinet maker's job at West End every day until the new farm became productive enough to support him. At this point he added to the shed an extension with a dirt floor to serve as a packing shed and equipment storage area. Initially he worked the farm at weekends, growing a range of fruit and vegetables, including pineapples and papaws. The eastern portion close to Rochedale Road was fertile and productive, but he found that the area furthest to the west comprised a different soil type and was given to waterlogging, so after some years he allowed it to revert to pasture.
George's already firm position in the small Rochedale farming community was strengthened by his marriage into the pioneer Francis family. He and Joan built the house on the north eastern corner of the property in which they both lived until the time of their deaths, and where their younger daughter Cheryl still resides today. The old tin hut was located on the portion of land purchased for the college, and featured in several ways in the early years of its history. Relocated in 1986 and substantially restored in 1988 as a bicentennial project, it still stands on the campus today and serves as a museum of local history, a valuable educational resource, and one which will be appreciated more by some people, and perhaps understood less by students, as the local area loses the rural character which was still so strong at the time of the college's establishment.

Fertiliser prices tumble
20 Jan, 2023 - 00:01 2023-01-19T20:52:46+00:00 2023-01-20T00:04:46+00:00 0 Views
The price of basal, Compound C and top dressing fertiliser has gone down by 16 percent
Samuel Kadungure
The price of fertiliser has gone down by 16 percent in a move attributed to the Government's import duty-free policy which seeks to boost production, Post Business has learnt.
Government last year introduced the import duty-free policy for companies and individuals with the capacity to import 250 000 tonnes of Ammonium Nitrate to cushion farmers and ensure the availability of the commodity.
The price of fertiliser had skyrocketed to US$90 last year owing to geopolitical tensions in Russia and Ukraine, the biggest suppliers of raw materials for top dressing fertiliser.
A visit to one of the biggest retail agro-dealers revealed that the price of basal, Compound C and top dressing fertiliser has gone down by 16 percent.
The spokesperson for one producer of fertiliser, FSG, Mr Ngoni Kandeya confirmed the development, attributing it to the import duty-free policy.
"The prices are coming down. We have basal fertiliser going down to US$38 from US$45, Compound C from US$55 to US$45 and top dressing coming down from US$65 to US$56, this is on average a 16 percent decline. We hope with all things being equal, the price will normalise and allow farmers to be viable," he said.
While farmers are excited about the reduction in the price of fertiliser, they are expecting another downward review to offset production costs.
"Yes, the prices are coming down, but we want them to drop to what we used to buy the fertiliser, which is US$27 and US$32," said one farmer.
Meanwhile, demand for top dressing fertiliser is soaring as consistent rains continue being received, thereby boosting prospects of a bumper cereal harvest in Manicaland.
Manicaland targeted to have 265 000 hectares under maize and 100 000ha under traditional grains and as by last week, 96 percent of the intended target had been attained, with the bulk of the crop above knee height and requiring top dressing fertiliser.
Maize is a crop of great importance in the country considering that it is the staple.
Fertiliser is applied after 25 to 30 days of sowing.
The final top dressing is applied 20 to 25 days after the first application.
Maize also require the booster nitrogen during this growing period to give it the deep green colour in addition to increasing the plumpness of the grain.
Although the maize yield is influenced by other factors like the number of plants and cobs per hectare, rows per cob, grains per row and ultimately the weight of the kernels, nitrogen plays a pivotal role in the grain filling process that results in heavier grain and ultimately increased yields.
Nitrogen helps in the establishment of healthy leaves, phosphorus for root formation and potassium for fruiting; while secondary nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, among others, are critical for crop physiological functions.
Agriculture Advisory and Rural Development Services (AARDS) acting director, Mrs Phillipa Rwambiwa said farmers will be poised for a maize bumper harvest if they can top dress and weed their fields, as well as control the fall armyworm.
"In Manicaland, the crops are looking very good, and if we could get the required top dressing fertiliser and farmers successfully apply it, we will have a good harvest.
"The province is in dire need of Ammonium Nitrate fertiliser, and if we get it, then we are assured that our yield will be very good. We will be assured of a bumper harvest," she said.
"The rains have largely been evenly distributed in the province, except in the Lowveld. It is our hope that the rains will also spread to Chipinge and other low lying areas that planted very late. We are hoping for the best, and are also looking forward to meeting our target.
"We are currently at 96 percent of the 265 000ha target for maize. We have some farmers still planting and we are currently doing a collation of the area planted and by the end of the week we could be around 100 percent," she added.
Mrs Rwambiwa said farmers should weed their fields as fertiliser application comes with other unwanted weeds that compete with crops for nutrients.
"It is important to remove the unwanted plants by weeding regularly or using herbicides. The weed pressure is very high and we are urging farmers to use herbicides that are cost effective.
"Farmers should also scout for fall armyworm and apply chemicals to control it. The Grain Marketing Board (GMB) must avail these chemicals to farmers because fall armyworm destroy crops and reduce the yield.
"Farmers should work closely with extension officers who will help them in controlling the pests. If all these steps are followed and the weather patterns remain favourable, then we are guaranteed of a bumper harvest," she said.

Lord, my satisfaction and joy come from you. You refine me and draw out my best traits. Thank you for the love you've given me. Amen.
It is estimated that Paul, the author of these words, spent 5-6 years in jail over the life of his ministry. He was ultimately martyred for his beliefs. He speaks from a place of great experience when he says he has "lost all things". We can take comfort in the fact that he testifies he has experienced powerful new life in Christ that renders all he has lost inconsequential. In America, we're not likely to encounter the kind of resistance Paul did when it comes to our faith. However, having an active faith in Christ does mean setting down certain things we may find temporary satisfaction in. For example, it means denying ourselves the satisfaction of verbal retaliation when someone wrongs us (Matthew 5:39).
Over the last year, I've had the unfortunate experience of having several people make false claims about my husband's character. People speculated amongst themselves that he was jealous, prideful, arrogant, and controlling after he had to make some tough personnel changes at work. Beyond that, they were spreading this misinformation to others. My husband felt it was wrong to tell everyone involved what indiscretions led to these changes because he didn't want to damage the character of anyone else. In lieu of the facts, the people involved speculated and came up with all kinds of crazy stories that mainly implicated my husband. Though this is nothing compared to being imprisoned for my beliefs, I definitely struggled not to publicly share the whole story and to come to his defense. In the end, the best long term witness to his character (and my own) is just being slow to speak and quick to love those around us. Actively pursuing Christ means being gracious with those we have disagreements with and to quickly reconcile regardless of differences. Following Jesus, no matter where you live or what the context is, is challenging.
Take time to reflect on what you have gained by knowing Christ and being found in him. What good has come from taming your desires for things that have no value in God's kingdom? In my own story, it's that pursuing God has helped me develop composure, patience, and grace for others. Continuing to grow in faith - a lifelong journey! - can be tiring and, at times, discouraging but meditating on the positive things that come from this journey can help us to keep pressing in.
God, please help me focus on the joy of life found in you. Let my actions and words build up those around me and give glory to you. Amen.

There's already too much written about a certain micro-blogging service. The Guardian reported on 27th March that so far that month 684 articles had appeared in national and local newspapers that included the word "twitter". This compares to 206 in January 2009, and 40 in November 2008. The irony is that these articles often seem to be written by people who have not used the service or who have been on it since, er, they were asked to write an article about it.
Many are still trying to work out exactly how social tools like twitter might be useful for business. Meanwhile, businesses are just getting on with it and finding out for themselves - by trying it out. Research published by O2 indicates that small businesses are far more twitter-savvy than their larger counterparts, and are seeing tangible benefits. It estimates that 700,000 UK small businesses are now using the service. The Federation of Small Businesses has even started tweeting. I've worked with a few small businesses. The one thing they don't have is the luxury of time and resource to waste on anything that doesn't bring return. But the one thing they always need, is a direct route to customer engagement.
Some businesses are showing the way. Others are still experimenting (as Mark would say, lighting lots of fires). The kind of experimentation shown by the Guardian and Sky in their G20 coverage last week. The kind of experimentation which is needed now more than ever. The kind that I think should be applauded.
Strange then, that some sectors of the business media don't agree. Perhaps they could learn from their audience and go where their customers are.
