A Kentucky Poet Savors a Biscuit Brake
With a wringer washer, a faded receipt, and some pandemic inspiration, Maurice Manning delves
into biscuit making of old
By Maurice Manning

The author "kneads" the dough using his refurbished biscuit brake.
I will allow that my method of making beaten biscuits is peculiar and circuitous—one might say independent—and subject to the outright suspension of the so-called process to allow for musings mythic and legendary, and for the occasional metaphysical poke in the ether, but if you don't mind taking the long way around the barn, as they say, I'll tell you how.
First you need a deceased father who had the occasional good idea, though few came to fruition. And almost inexplicably, because ordinary food preparation of any extent ever remained shrouded in mystery to him, he needs to have squirreled away among his meager belongings a biscuit brake. Though as is fitting for this particular squirreler-away, it's only a partial biscuit brake, glimpsed solemnly on a shelf, like a lonely set of upper dentures.
A proper biscuit brake, as it was designed in the nineteenth century, consists of the sometimes dangerous rolling apparatus of a wringer washer, preferably with a serviceable crank and adjustable rollers that can almost meet and pinch together tightly enough to squeeze the letters off a dolorous page from Leviticus. The wringers should be configured to spill the dough onto a cold slab of marble dusted with flour. Though it would only be a curious luxury, if the treadle of a foot-powered sewing machine were handy, you could affix a stray pulley in place of the crank and thereby connect the rollers and the treadle with a belt or a scrap of leather, and then you could tell your neighbors that your feet were sore from making biscuits, and that would turn a head or two. But that's just the sort of entertainment you can get into with beaten biscuits.
Next you need a great-grandmother with stout arms born about 1888. And the great-grandmother must be the sort to have left behind her a recipe, which she identified as "my receipt," written on a rectangle of yellowed paper in the now aged and browned ink of a fountain pen. The receipt will call for a quart of flour, two rounded teaspoons each of baking powder and sugar, and one of salt, in addition to four rounded tablespoons of lard. Every time after the first "rounded" appears, it should not be surprising that the receipt records a ditto mark, ˝, in place of the actual word. And, of course, it will lastly advise, "Put dough thru kneader until dough is smooth and bubbles burst."
And that explains the salvaged wringers from the old washing machine, famous eyesore or conversation piece on country porches, one no longer useful device scrapped to devise another one whose use will be revived one hundred years after the demise of the first, and lately reconfigured to allow the operation by a left-handed operator, which is you. The sound of bubbles bursting from the sedimentary compression of the biscuit dough is a kind of music.
The great-grandmother will be the sort as well who bore and yet survived every manner of hillbilly violence and corruption ever conceived either by apologists or accusers of the Southern mountaineers, she who witnessed and bore the knowledge that the men are the ones whose rashness and blood-feud-tainted code lead them to commit the violence and the corruption in the first pointless place, which only the women, if anyone, can redeem. And she did. She came through to the serenity of love that is the only thing worth the suffering and the only thing the next generation or the next will want or need as inheritance.
Then you will find yourself bewildered with the memory that as a child you often played with the same fountain pen with which she inscribed her receipt, one whose reservoir was as dry as an October cornstalk and whose nib scratched the coarse paper as if you knew letters and had something to say that required the labor and the rhythm needed to turn the pen into a musical instrument, as Orpheus of old tuned his lyre or Pan twisted his humble reed. The pen slept in a shabby drawer of refuse and old postcards addressed to "Kiddo" or "Sister" the great-grandmother kept in her room. You will need that memory recalled and now indelible in your mind many decades later, with the great-grandmother long returned to the earth, though the receipt survives, and so does the fountain pen, which one day in the search for meaning during a time of plague and pestilence you determine to refill with ink, and soon the nib glides to life.
By this point the circuit ensnaring the proverbial barn widens and snakes further into the ineffable labyrinth of time and locution, the very Logos, the bedrock undergirding articulate thought. Strangely enough (yet there must be in the dark mysterium a summoning voice to which your ear binds and determines itself to respond), you find yourself rereading the works of William Faulkner in order to—what? To broach, not to expiate, but to begin to fathom the founding sin of a nation, because violence of any measure marks its own moment but also leaves its mark to trouble and entangle the unimagined future, which is now.
As the reading mind and the written word find ever-closer commerce and consort with each other, you arrive at this from the final "Dilsey section" of The Sound and the Fury (1929). Dilsey, the Black cook who binds together the fraying strands of the white Compson family, discovers her teenage grandson, Luster, holed up in the Compson family cellar, trying to play the handsaw, an Orphic image if ever there was one: "He held the saw in his left hand, the blade sprung a little by pressure of his hand, and he was in the act of striking the blade with the worn wooden mallet with which she had been making beaten biscuit for more than thirty years. The saw gave forth a single sluggish twang that ceased with lifeless alacrity, leaving the blade in a thin clean curve between Luster's hand and the floor. Still, inscrutable, it bellied."
The significance of this routine that implies a version of the diddley bow and its gourd-hewed cousin of African origin, the banjo, is itself a bit inscrutable. Chalk that up to Faulkner's overattention to detail without always providing connection. What rings true from this gothic peek into the underworld is the worn wooden mallet. That would have been the original tool required to make beaten biscuits. Dilsey would have rolled the dough onto a wooden slab and beaten the dough with the sizable mallet until the bubbles burst. Compared with the bluntness of the mallet, the wringers discarded from a washing machine seem like glisters from a gilded age of progress and advancement.
By now your mind is full of many things the biscuit brake has called forth or perhaps turned out: the fountain pen, the sweetness of the old woman who owned it first, her handwritten receipt, and the books, novels wrought from anguish and truth, hard to fathom and harder to digest. Beaten biscuits make a similarly offhand appearance in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, and later appear almost incidentally in three novels by Walker Percy. In each, however, the biscuit maker is a grandmother. The wheels turning in your mind lurch to a stop. As with many other facets of truth, what you are about to endeavor is delicate and hard.
The faded recipe card from the author's great-grandmother and a fresh batch of beaten biscuits ready for the oven.
And so it is time, after seventy years it is time. You retrieve the receipt that calls for a quart of flour, the rounded teaspoons of baking powder, sugar, and salt, the four rounded tablespoons of lard, and a cup of cold water. You mix the dry ingredients and cut in the lard with a pair of forks, then stir in the water. Then you lay the dough on the marble slab and work it lightly before feeding it with your right hand into the kneader you turn with your left, over and over, until the dough is smooth and the bubbles burst in the choir loft of their own singular music. Cut the biscuits with the lip of a shot glass if one is handy, and prick each three times with a fork. Ten or eleven minutes in a hot, transfiguring oven. One pat of butter for the warm biscuit to receive and melt into itself like a sacrament. And soon, for a moment, the gloom is lifted, and the heart, though tried, for the brief span of ancient and sacred indulgence, is restored.
I suppose you might also need to be the sort of person who succumbs to the vicissitudes and curiosities and occasional wisdom of the proverbial wild hair, as well as one with the temerity to follow through. If that's the case, then you are most likely one who believes that despite the brutal name, making a beaten biscuit is an honorable and decided art. It is a labor whose recompense cannot be measured and whose effort occasions no regret.

The typescript of the list of births that took place in Wayne County in 1850 was gratiously provided to us by the Wayne County Historian's Office. We hope this list provides clues to ancestral location and helps you better formulate questions when visiting the societies or ordering mail searches. We assume many of the couples and their children joined the migration out to Michigan and other points west. If you recognize anyone on this list, please drop a line to me so it can be noted next to their listing. Be sure to put "Wayne County Births 1850" as the subject line of your email, so that it's not deleted or lost.
As you scan the listings you'll see unusual spellings. They're not typos we've made but can be attributed to the original typist's interpretation of old handwriting, or assumptions made by the registrars of the births. If a spelling differs from that of your ancestral surname, or births didn't take place in the townships you thought your ancestors were from, don't pass them by. Jot them down... just in case. A date and location can be used to search in the 1850 census or the info may turn out useful to others searching your surnames.

As per your request, here is some information about "Eron N. BYSE - July 1 - Stephen & Mary Ann."
Aaron N. Byce, 4th son of Stephen Byce & Mary Ann Jeffers, grandson of Robert Byce; born 01 Jul 1850 in Rose Twp, Wayne Co, NY, died 14 May 1936 in Harrisville Twp, Alcona Co, Michigan.
His older brother Isaac Byce (Boyce), is mentioned in both "Landmarks of Wayne County" (pg 296) and "Rose Neighborhood Sketches" (pg 176). Isaac married Lany Ream in 1871 and they had two boys, Charles & John, both of whom were born, married and died in Wayne County, but apparently never had any children of their own.
For Aaron Byce, using "HeritageQuest Online" to search the U.S. Censuses - In 1860, "Erin" is found in Riley Twp, St Clair Co, Michigan; Series M653, Roll 559, Pg 36, Line 1. In 1870, "Byse, Eson" is found in Oscoda, Iosco Co, Michigan; M593, 677, 703, Line 3 (his sister is just across the street). In 1880, "Byce, Aaron" is found in Harrisville Twp, Alcona Co, Michigan; T9, 569, 21, Line 47. In 1900, "Byce, Aaron" is found in Harrisville Twp; T623, 698, 41. In 1910, "Byce, Aaron" is found in Harrisville Twp; T624, 634, 45. In 1920, "Byse, Aaron" is found in Harrisville Twp; T625, 753, 41. (Haven't checked the 1930 Census yet).
Aaron married Adeline Simons (c1848-1911) about 1870 and they had 4 daughters; Inez (c1868-1869), Nettie (1872-1887), Ida (1874-1964) and Ethel (1881-1925). Ida married Fred Campell and they had one son, Raymond, who married Frances DeForest. And Ethel married Stephen DeForest (c1879-?) and they had a son, Melvin, and a daughter, Letha.
Of particular interest to us right now is an 1830's Galen census sheet (Series M19, Roll 117, Page 150) in which 6 families appear within 7 lines of one another; there's Francis Byce, John Furgeson, Byce Furgeson, Stephen Furgeson, Samuel Byce and Robert Byce. Among the Byces, it's believed that Francis was Robert's father, and Robert was Samuel's father, although we have no solid documentation to support it. Among the Furgesons (Fergusons), it's been established that John Furgeson (c1765-1840) was the father of both Stephen (1794-1861) and Byce (1801-1881) and that John's wife was named Margaret. In addition, John & Margaret Furgeson had a daughter named Naomi (1797-1837) and another son named Embree (1806-1888), among other children.
In summary, these clues (Byce Furgeson, Embree Furgeson, Naomi Furgeson, the proximity of the families and their respective ages) suggest that John Furgeson's wife was perhaps born "Margaret Buys" and was the sister of "Francis Buys," linking them to the "Buys" families found among the settlers of the Beekman Patent.
Any information regarding these families would be greatly appreciated. See RootsWeb's WorldConnect database "wbyce17" for further information and speculation. Thank you. Sincerely, William J. Byce.

We ship worldwide to all countries we receive orders from. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee delivery in all of them, because local delivery is not reliable enough in some countries.
We do ship to these countries and the packages are delivery guaranteed but all countries not mentioned in the above list could receive a package from us but note that such packages are not delivery guaranteed, that is, it is at own risk, . If your package does not arrive, reshipping for free is not possible.
For other countries: delivery is guaranteed! So, if you live in for example the USA, Canada, UK or Australia, delivery of your package is guaranteed by us.
We ship all of our orders within 24 - 48hrs after receiving payment. We will notify you that your order has been shipped on the day we send it out. We use a unique "stealth" packaging that prevents customs from finding what's inside, even if they open the package to inspect.
There is no mention of marijuana inside or on the package. When we first started testing our stealth packages, a lot of our packages were taken by customs officials, but that did not produce any trouble for us or the intended recipient of the package.
Generally, it takes about 48hrs for an order to be delivered within the USA and it takes about 3 - 4 days for delivery outside US when we ship it from Belgium. In some instances, the packages could get lost. If this occurs, we will send you a brand new package right away. You always get your order no matter what!
In The Some countries it is legal to buy and sell marijuana. Visitors and customers of this dispensary are solely responsible for their package after delivery has been safely effectuated. This Dispensary does not accept any responsibility regarding legal or product liability once your parcel has been securely and safely delivered to you. So what ever you do with the Marijuana after delivery its not the responsibility of our Dispensary.
Through various high tech security precautions, I have created a system where the risk to you is minimal. In my opinion, mail order is safer than buying from a dealer and driving home with the contraband in your car. Your package will look like an ordinary package so who's to know what's in it? Please see the security page for more information on my security system.
All orders are shipped from within the United States. And yes I do ship internationally.
For obvious reasons I do not accept returns. However, when you see the quality of the product you will not want to return it! If your package does not arrive within 5days of payment, write to me and I will check the tracking records to see if it was delivered. If the package was not delivered due to my error I will resend or give you a refund. If it just gets "lost in the mail" then I will reship. If the package was delivered, I will give you the delivery confirmation code so you can see for yourself it was delivered, but no refund. It could be it was intercepted by a family member or roommate and I have no control over that. Also if it was not delivered due to a customer giving a faulty address there will be no refund.
All orders are shipped from our main Branch in US using either DHL , Fedex, UPS, USPS and EMS depending on buyers location and desire. will NEVER have to sign for a package from me. Yes I deliver to P.O boxes. I do not generally provide tracking information for security reasons.


I'm still very tired and struggling with energy. That's partly because I was anemic for a while and have low-blood pressure. Even with fatigue, the pregnancy is going well. We're now 40 weeks tomorrow. And we now know that we're expecting a — Baby Girl. We're both excited and looking forward to meeting her- at any moment.
Why the move? What pushed us over the edge was an excessive rent increase. It was discouraging and very tiring to be "forced" to pack up and move and clean to meet the real estate's cleanliness standards, but we know that Lord had reasons for us to be in a different place. Our new rental home is much cheaper rent, closer to my in-laws, and closer to the hospital and a shorter commute for my husband. So those were great reasons to move. The draw back was having to move at all. We're hoping to move closer to church early next year, so we may be looking at another move in in six months time.
I thought I'd share a few things that helped us with our move. We had an inkling that the rent issue wouldn't clear up so we had a bit of a head start (I started packing non-essentials long before we decided to move). Even so, we had three weeks from the time we put in our notice to the day we moved and we had to have a lot happen in those days.
Start Packing early. Because we sensed that we might have to move, I began packing up boxes early May (we put in our notice in early June). I packed the decorative stuff and the seasonal stuff and the kitchen things we don't use very often. Steven made a spot in the garage and I packed up a little at a time for weeks before we knew for sure that we were moving.
Purge a lot. I purged as I packed. A few people I'd read about online were doing a 100 items purge and I spent days going through stuff and tallying up what I was throwing out or sending to thrift stores. My tally went up over 400 items and I've done more purging since we've moved into our new place.
Label everything. I listed items as I packed them into boxes and labelled each box with the room it was to go to. I have a big roll of sticker labels and I just used the labels to mark all sides of each box the room it belonged in, and had one detailed label listing the items inside.
Anything labelled Kitchen was kitchen related and I listed the items as I packed them so one box had pots and lids and frying pans. Food/pantry items were labelled pantry. Things from our bedroom or bathroom were labelled bathroom or bedroom. That way movers would be able to stack the boxes in groups, and I could find stuff quite easily once we got in the new house. We got free boxes from the hardware store, a bookstore and some friends. I used large rubbish/garbage bags to pack up pillows and bedding. I labelled the bags with stickers so they were obviously not rubbish.
Get help. I did a big google/youtube search for packing tips and several sources said for moving to enlist help. and especially for when moving while pregnant. My in-laws helped with moving some of the big items to their home since the day we needed to move they wouldn't be available to help. They also helped with several cleaning tasks to help us prepare for the final walk through with the real estate. A few of my friends offered to help so I had some help packing up the last bits and they were a huge help on the day of the move to do the final wipe downs of window ledges and walls and the bathroom. That last week in our old home I was beyond exhausted and aching and not feeling well, so it was such a blessing to have these ladies encourage us with their help.
We had one option that few have and that was to move a bunch of stuff to my in-laws home for a few weeks, so we did that, and had very little left at home the last week. That allowed my husband to do almost all the moving by himself on the day of our move. Our friends helped clean and make sure all was ready for the carpet cleaners and "white glove" the house. We slowly brought things from my in-laws the next week, and a few weeks later a young man from church helped Steven move the last of our furniture.
Just as important as getting help, is accepting it.
Rest. I tried, but I didn't succeed very well, especially the last few weeks. I didn't sleep well at night and I struggled with being able to stop doing things during the day. So I overdid it and had to rest a lot once we were moved. I didn't do much that first week in our new home.
Make lists. I reached a point where I couldn't do very much, probably from overdoing it in the mid-stage of packing. So I made lists and our helpers checked off the items for me. Having written down the tasks allowed them to see what was left, and we didn't forget anything.
Make freezer meals or have simple foods on hand for when cooking is difficult. I knew I'd need to have a good part of the kitchen packed up and would want to deal with clean-up so I cooked several things that could be frozen and then reheated as needed in that last week. One of the things my father-in-law helped Steven do was move our fridge from our kitchen to the garage under the house. I still had a fridge, but it was no longer as handy as before.
Empty the fridge/freezer. As well as using up our freezer meals that week, I tried to use up everything we had so that we would only have one or two eskies/coolers to shift on the day of the move and not have any food spoiling. It meant that the day after we moved we had to go grocery shopping, but we had slightly less to move.
Get help unpacking. A dear lady from one of my craft groups offered to help me unpack the kitchen. It was so nice. She came on three different days to help me put away dishes and baking items and then the pantry stuff. A young man from church helped move furniture. We enlisted family for parts of it as well.
Feed your helpers. I tried to have snacks and water available for our moving day helpers, but they didn't eat much of what we had on hand, but we did order pizza and had a lunch break that really helped us all to take a rest.
It was lot of work, but I'm thankful we didn't hire a cleaning service or moving service. We couldn't afford either. With my meal prepping ahead of time we didn't eat out very much so that was also helpful to keep costs down. We did buy a few take out meals, but not nearly as many as we could have.
If people offer, let them help. I struggle with asking for help and it was a blessing to have people offer.
Keep purging. We found the new home has a larger living space, but less space in other ways. We used to have a garage, so Steven's tools and workbench and other things had to find homes in different places in our house or the tiny shed out back or go up to be stored at his parent's home. Thanks Mum and Dad! We did find in the shifting and rearranging and trying to make room for incoming baby stuff that our "container" couldn't hold as much as we wanted. So some things had to go. We worked out the extras, and what we thought had some value we listed on our local craigslist type page, Steven's work classified site and got cash for some old technology from an entertainment exchange shop. I'm happy that all the big items have gone and there's only a few things unsold. So we've made room for the basic baby stuff, and I'm hoping to keep the house clear of excess for a while. We're not done purging though. And now with a baby arriving any minute… there's a lot more accompanying stuff we'll need to make room for.
About a month after we moved into our new house, termite treatment had to be done so that meant moving furniture away from walls and we stayed somewhere else the nights after the treatments were done, so it has only been since mid-August we've been able to set up the baby room/ guest room. I've been learning patience and focusing on other things. I've been working on my "before baby comes" list.
Last week my mom came from the States for a month-long visit to help with running the house and us learning the ropes of caring for a baby. We're hoping Baby comes soon so we can sort of get into a routine while she's still here with us.
With Mom's help I've been able to tackle some of the projects on my "before baby" list. And the burden of keeping up with housework and cooking is off my shoulders for a few weeks and that's helping me rest a bit more.

As 2019 moves into its second quarter both the United States Congress and state legislatures are beginning to pass laws introducing the expansion of reimbursement parity for telemedicine, including recent developments around expanding the list of eligible originating sites to include such locations as schools, the patient's home, or eliminating the restriction altogether (as Arizona is expected to do with the passage of SB1089).
As these laws are passed and enacted, and as commercial health plans expand their coverage, the burden to justify reimbursement for qualified telehealth services through accurate coding and documentation will fall upon the providers and their telehealth technology. To this end, integration between the telehealth technology and the provider's Electronic Health Record ("EHR"), the patient's portal, Health Information Exchanges (or Health Information Networks), coding systems, claims clearinghouses, billing groups, and other stakeholders will become a necessary consideration for the deployment of telehealth services.
The increasing number of remotely conducted patient visits will necessitate the inclusion of telehealth technology vendors within the scope of government regulatory legislation to which providers will attest. Virtual "visits" of certain clinical observations will require submission to public health or specialty registries (like IRIS or PRIME for ophthalmology, for example).
As EHRs became ubiquitous in the 1980s and 1990s and then required in the 2000s, infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of healthcare data was often not built in until the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology required it through the HITECH Act and subsequent legislation, leading to unnecessary cost and inefficiency being endemic to the EHR landscape.
In 2019 telehealth vendors stand on the verge of the elimination of reimbursement and technology capabilities as barriers to adoption, similar to where traditional EHR vendors stood some 20 years ago. In an effort to not recreate the past, now is the time for telehealth to invest in integration to ensure the seamless flow of relevant healthcare data between all trusted stakeholders within the patient's care continuum in which telehealth EHRs will operate.
Continue the discussion about the state of telehealth and healthcare data integration with Beau Benson, Vice President of Business Development for Iron Bridge Integration, during the American Telemedicine Association ATA19 Annual Conference and Expo in New Orleans from April 14, 2019 to April 16, 2019.

Q: In R, using Ubuntu, try to install a lib depending on GMP C lib, it won't find GMP, but I have GMP installed I want to install the Rmpfr library of R, so I type within R:
install.packages("Rmpfr")

This package requires the GMP C library to be installed, which in Ubuntu can be installed typing on the terminal
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev

So, after I try to install Rmpfr library in R, I receive an error message containing
configure: error: GNU MP not found, or not 4.1.4 or up, see http://gmplib.org

The problem is, I already have GNU MP installed, and its version is 5.1.2. So, something is wrong with me, maybe.
Any clues? :-)
Thanks!

A: In my case it was solved by installation of libgmp3-dev
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev

A: It worked after I installed build-essential and libboost. Yes, I had something lacking on my system. :-)

Three thousand emergency workers strike in India; 29,000 primary school teachers vote on pay offer in New Zealand
Workers Struggles: Asia, Australia and the Pacific
India: Goa miners protests over retrenchments
Around 300 United Mine Workers' Union members demonstrated on September 11 outside the Chowgule Mining Company's offices at Mormugao Harbour over retrenchment of 350 workers. The iron ore miners have warned that there will be an indefinite strike if the company does not withdraw the sackings.
One miner told the media that they were retrenched from the company's Shigao mines on July 24 and face worsening financial difficulties.
Chowgule, which mines about 3.5 million tons of iron ore per year, is one of several private mines in Goa, including Vedanta, Fomento Resources, VM Salgaocar and other companies, that were shut down after an Indian Supreme Court ruling in February. The court ruled that they were operating illegally.
United Mine Workers' Union leaders said that the company could easily pay salaries of their workers from the two or three shipments it had processed after the February court order.
Three thousand emergency workers strike in Assam
GVK (EMRI) emergency and ambulance workers in Assam remain on strike after walking off on September 11 in protest over the company's refusal to comply with labor laws, non-payment of annual pay increments and benefits since 2015–16 and other demands. The strikers have not received any response from the Assam state government or GVK (EMRI) management.
About 3,000 employees who are members of the All Assam 108 Mrityunjoy Employees Association are involved in the strike, which has crippled emergency medical transportation services across the state. The company claims the protest is "illegal" and has started hiring strike breakers for its call centre and field operations.
Hundreds of strikers staged a sit down protest this week carrying placards and shouting slogans denouncing the company. They have pledged not to return to work unless management holds talks with the union and provides a written assurance that it will grant the workers' demands.
India: Two thousand daily wage engineering workers strike in Kashmir
Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department daily wage workers in Kathua, Kashmir are on strike to demand permanent jobs and payment of 52 months of unpaid wages. The walkout was organised by the All Jammu and Kashmir PHE trained workers association and involves 2,000 workers.
While the PHE department is attempting to run over 250 pumping stations in Kathua district with the temporary workers, the strike has seriously impacted on water supplies.
On September 11 workers held a protest rally at the divisional headquarters in Jammu. One striker told the media that salaries had been withheld for past 18 months. Another daily wage worker said: "We have only one thing to ask for. Fulfil our demands. We can't live like this. We have families to run and are unable to make our ends meet."
India: Hyderabad municipal workers launched a strike
Over 14,000 workers from Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) walked out on September 5 and protested to demand permanency for 27,000 contract worker jobs and for 1,500 temporary employees. They chanted "Equal pay for equal work" in a demonstration outside GHMC offices.
The strikers denounced the local government, claiming it had not delivered on promises. Organised by the Greater Hyderabad Employees Union, the strike crippled municipal services.
Mysore University sanitation workers strike in India
Around 200 Mysore University sanitation workers walked out on September 3 to demand payment of the state's minimum wage and access to the provident fund, which is deducted from their salaries. Some of the workers have been employed at the university for up to twenty years.
While university management threatened to introduce a contract system and sack the protesting employees, the striking workers were supported by a section of students and the academic staff.
Bangladesh tea estate workers demand pay rise
Several thousand temporary workers from 15 tea gardens in Sreemangal Upazila in Sylhet held a one-day strike on September 6 to demand the same pay as permanent employees.
The tea estate owners are supposed to increase wages every year. The last pay rise was three years ago.
While temporary and permanent workers were previously paid 85 taka ($US1) per day, the estate owners would only agree to increase permanent employees' daily wage to 102 taka. The strike ended after estate management agreed to pay the temporary workers the same daily wage.
Pakistan: Punjab brick-kiln workers protest for minimum wage
Brick-kiln workers in Toba Tek Singh, Punjab province, demonstrated for the fourth consecutive day on Monday as part of their protracted struggle for payment of the mandated minimum wage of 1,100 rupees for 1,000 bricks ($8.94).
The protestors also demanded the implementation of the Child Labour Act 2016 at the kilns. The Toba Tek Singh kilns are notorious for the use of child and young labour and in extremely dangerous work. The government has also failed to provide the mandated allowance of 4,000 rupees for the education of children. Toba Tek Singh is home to over 130 kilns but proper employee records, including of children, are not maintained.
A demonstration was held outside the Labour Welfare Department and an effigy of the department's assistant director burnt to protest his failure to implement the mandated minimum wage.
The Bhatta Mazdoor Union, which called the demonstration, warned that the protest would continue indefinitely until their demands are met. Kiln owners refuse to provide the minimum wage and continue to pay 700 to 800 rupees per 1,000 bricks.
Pakistan: Sindh coal workers demand unpaid wages
Sindh Energy Department employees on its underground coal gasification project in Mithi demonstrated on Tuesday outside the Thar Press Club to demand payment three months' outstanding wages and benefits to 450 workers.
The workers have been involved in the project for eight years. The Pakistan government, whose economic policies are dictated by the International Monetary Fund, frequently delays payments to direct employees and government contract workers.
First-ever strike in Philippines call centre industry
On Monday, a union covering workers at Alorica company's West Contract Services call centre in Manila announced it had called a strike after registering a dispute with national authorities.
The conflict began over the company's plan to relocate from its Pasay site to Makati in another part of Manila. The company has refused to assist with relocation and transport costs or to recognise the union. The Unified Employees of Alorica union says 200 workers have been forced to resign.
If the strike goes ahead as scheduled it will be the first strike in the Philippines Business Processing Outsourcing sector, which is often described as the call centre capital of the world. The sector employs 1.2 million people and has annual revenues of $US22 billion.
Western Australian Alcoa workers remain on strike
Around 1,500 workers at Alcoa's aluminium refineries and bauxite mines in Western Australia (WA) remain on strike in a protracted dispute over a new enterprise work agreement.
Last week, the workers, who have been on strike since August 8, overwhelmingly rejected a company offer because it fails to address concerns over job security.
An application by Alcoa to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to allow the giant corporation to terminate the existing work agreement, is being heard this week. Workers could be forced back onto the base industry award, leading to major reductions in pay and working conditions.
The Australian Workers Union (AWU) has sought to isolate the dispute to Alcoa's WA operations. It has not called any industrial action by workers at the company's other facilities and plants nationally. Statements by union officials have made clear they will invoke the threat of the FWC terminating the agreement, to try and end the strike and push through a sell-out deal.
Busways drivers stop work over pay in Sydney
Drivers for private transport operator Busways stopped work at five Sydney depots and attended meetings last week in a dispute over a new enterprise agreement.
The drivers had voted overwhelmingly to support industrial action, including one-hour stoppages, overtime bans, bans on refuelling vehicles and fare-free days on some routes.
The drivers' enterprise agreement expired in 2017 and there has been no pay rise since then. The Transport Workers Union (TWU) has called for a 4 percent increase, but the company has offered only half of that amount.
The TWU has restricted opposition to limited stoppages to minimise disruption and is appealing to the company to return to negotiations and come to a "fair and respectful deal" to prevent further industrial action.
South Australian prison officers oppose privatisation
Prison officers and other corrective services workers from five prisons in South Australia went on strike this week in opposition to the Liberal state government's plan to privatise the Adelaide Remand Centre.
Hundreds of officers and their supporters also demonstrated outside the state parliament and the remand centre. They are concerned that the handing over of the Adelaide Remand Centre to a private operator is a step towards the privatisation of the state's prisons. The previous state Labor government outsourced the management and operation of the Mount Gambier prison to a private company in 2009.
Thousands of New Zealand primary school teachers vote on new pay offer
Primary school teachers across the country will vote online next week on a new pay offer from the ministry of education. A previous offer was rejected, and a 24-hour strike involving around 29,000 teachers was held on August 15.
The new contract is almost identical to the previous offer and does not address the teachers' concerns. The previous pay offer was a 2.2 to 2.6 percent increase for three years for a majority of teachers. The new offer is now a 3 percent increase for three years. There is no extra funding for children with additional learning needs, and no provisions to reduce workloads or class sizes.
Teachers have asked for at least 16 percent over two years and measures to drastically improve working conditions and teaching resources, in order to help fill a massive teacher shortage.
A New Zealand Educators Institute (NZEI) press release on September 11 said it was "not making any recommendation" over how its members should vote. This dispute follows a bitter struggle between health workers and the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, which pressured its members to accept a sell-out deal. There was widespread anger from health workers throughout social media and threats from many to quit the union.
Miners strike in Waihi, New Zealand
Ninety miners at Waihi's OceanaGold held a 48-hour strike starting last Saturday evening. The workers were striking in a bid to improve their wages and conditions.
According to E Tu organiser Myles Leeson, the company is very profitable and recently uncovered nearly seven times more gold than expected in a new field. The company refuses to offer more than a two percent increase.
The union has already sold out its members by pushing through a new roster which curbs excessive hours but at the extraordinary cost of up to a 19 percent reduction in wages. In a September 8 press release announcing the strike, the union claimed its members are "comfortable" accepting the roster.
Third strike by New Zealand pallet workers
Around 50 workers at CHEP's pallet plant in Christchurch are striking for the third week in a row. The strike was announced on Wednesday and will continue through to Sunday.
The workers are striking because of extremely low wages. Most CHEP workers earn between $17 and $18 an hour and their starting rate is only 6 cents above the minimum wage of $16.50. Workers in the Christchurch plant are also paid much less than their counterparts at the company's Auckland plant.
According to First Union, there is public support for the workers, who were sent food parcels and donations. However, the union is only negotiating a $1.50 wage increase, which they admit would not even match the Auckland plant.
New Zealand supermarket workers strike in Whakatane
Around 30 workers at the Pak'nSave supermarket in Whakatane held a strike on Wednesday and picketed the store for two hours.
Pak'nSave is one of New Zealand's largest supermarket chains with 57 stores nationwide. Most of the staff are paid only minimum wage of $16.50 an hour. Supervisors are paid only about 50 cents above this.
First Union says the Whakatane branch pays its workers less than most other Pak'nSave branches. However, in July, Pak'nSave workers in Hastings, also members of First Union, held a strike because they also are paid only the minimum wage.
Inland Revenue Department pay dispute ends in New Zealand
Following three, two-hour strikes by thousands of Inland Revenue Department (IRD) workers, the Public Services Association (PSA) have announced that a new pay deal has been ratified by its members.
A press release from the union September 10 is scant on details but confirms that the IRD have not agreed to an "across the board" pay increase. The PSA's national secretary Erin Polaczuk says that one-in-four IRD workers earn less than $48,000 a year, but has not said how much the new collective agreement improves this situation, if at all.
The PSA statement also notes that the contract only lasts 14 months, and anticipates that workers will make more stringent demands during the next round of negotiations.

A dual noun مُثَنًّى is a noun that refers to two persons or things.
Unlike the singular ending, the dual ending is pronounced at pause except for the final short vowel in the absolute state.
The case inflection of dual nouns (and sound plural nouns) involves only two cases instead of three (but these nouns are not diptotes because the two cases are for all the states and there is nunation). The naṣb and ǵarr marking of these nouns is identical. This is why these two cases of the dual (and sound plural) may be collectively called the oblique case.
E.g. The two male teachers are here.
E.g. I saw the two male teachers.
E.g. This is the two male teachers' class.
E.g. I gave it to the two male teachers.
E.g. This is the two female teachers' class.
E.g. I gave it to the two female teachers.
Shortened nouns are nouns whose singulars end with a shortened ʔalif (–ȃ ـا a·y– / ـى).
The weak ʔalif of the ending is changed back to its origin (either w or y) when attaching the dual ending. The ʔalif of the form ـا is changed back to w, and the one of the form ـى is changed back to y. The short A vowel preceding the weak ʔalif remains intact.
The weak ʔalif will be always changed to y when attaching the dual ending, regardless of its origin.
A final weak ʔalif of any Arabic word with more than three letters will have this figure ـى regardless of its true origin. This suits well the rules of declension. However, there is one exception, which is when the letter preceding the final weak ʔalif in such words is y. In that case, the ʔalif takes the figure ـا .
Extended nouns are nouns whose singular stems end with a long A vowel followed by a hamza·t (-ȃʔ ـَاْء ).
In extended nouns with four letters or fewer, the final hamza·t ء is always an original letter. When attaching the dual ending, the ء will be changed back to its origin (w or y) if the ء itself is not the origin.
Unlike the shortened ʔalif, whose figure denotes its origin, the origin of the hamza·t of an extended ʔalif cannot be told from its written figure.
It is possible, though not ideally correct, to keep the hamza·t of the extended ʔalif always without change when attaching the dual ending. This is typical of Modern Standard Arabic.
In extended nouns with more than four letters, there is a chance that the hamza·t ء of the extended ʔalif is an additional letter (i.e. the extended ʔalif is a suffix).
If the hamza·t is an original letter, it will be changed back to its origin (w, y, or kept ʔ ) when adding the dual suffix.
However, it is possible to always keep the hamza·t unchanged when attaching the dual ending. This is typical of Modern Standard Arabic.
When the-ȃʔ is a feminine marker, the hamza·t is always turned into w when attaching the dual ending.
Defective nouns take the dual ending just as regular nouns.
There are five dual nouns for which there are no singulars. These are called the "annexed duals" مُلْحَقَاْتُ الْمُثَنَّىْ .
The last two words lack their final -ni because they exist only in the construct state which is used to form genitive constructions. Dual nouns (as well as the regular masculine plurals) lose their final -ni in the construct state. This will be covered later.
The inflectional dual suffix -ȃni must be distinguished from the derivational suffix -ȃn which is found in verbal nouns and verbal adjectives.
The suffix -ȃn also derives nouns from nouns, e.g. ʔinsȃnuṋ إِنْسَاْنٌ "a human being" from ʔinsuṋ إِنْسٌ "a human being." This suffix is found in some broken plural structures.
Proper nouns with the -ȃn suffix are nomina diptota (e.g. عُثْمَاْنُ ، حَمْدَاْنُ ، سَلْمَاْنُ). Faʕlȃnu adjectives are diptota when their feminine form is faʕla·y, which is true for most of them.
In the modern spoken vernaculars the dual declension is still productive, but the dual ending has only one form for all cases and states.
A rare form of the ending found in some dialects is -ayn.

The EU cookie law goes into effect May 26. This is a great law because finally, all privacy issues will be permanently eradicated from the internet.
We've had the option to disable cookies in tracking for a while, however that was created back when we only had one cookie ("the" tracking cookie). Since then we have added several more, whose purpose is to make the code more efficient and save resources on our end from deactivated/non-paying site (these being the session/boolean cookies mentioned above). Up until now, disabling cookies had no effect on these extra cookies. Because they were never sent to us, we didn't think it would matter. And it shouldn't. But now it does. Our tracking code has been updated so all cookies will be disabled now when this option is set (except one, but that will only be set for sites that are no longer using Clicky but still have the code installed, which is against our terms of service).
UPDATE: A user pointed out that Cloudflare still sets a cookie. We use them for our CDN (static.getclicky.com). Their wiki says that cookies cannot be disabled. We have reached out to them for their plans regarding this law and will update you when we know more.
UPDATE: Interestingly, the BBC, one of the biggest UK web sites, specifically states on their new cookie settings page that they embed third party items such as Youtube and Flickr that set cookies and that these are beyond their control so those cookies will still be set no matter how they decide about cookies served directly by BBC. Does this mean that sites embedding third party content or services, such as Clicky, are exempt from having to worry about these kinds of cookies? Who knows, but it's interesting.
The new EU KEBORD law should be coming in to effect soon, controlling and prohibiting the use of a highly insure security loophole with computers and the internet. This coupled with the cookie law should finally stop all fraudulent activity on the internet. By restricting the usage of such highly insecure devices such as the keyboard and mouse we can finally achieve the levels of privacy and security required by the EU Government.
This is great news, but I'm having some problems as it doesn't appear to be working for me.
If we can get it going, it's a really good selling point to move people off GA!
Anychance you guys could create a little script widget we could paste on our sites so that visitors can disable the clicky cookie?
Hmm, forgot about Cloudflare's cookies. We use them for our CDN (static.getclicky.com). Their wiki says that cookies cannot be disabled. We have reached out to them for their plans regarding this law and will update you when we know more.
If I'm in the United States, and my site isn't specifically targeting EU visitors even though they do come, do I have to worry about this?
No, it only affects web sites own by people who live in the EU, and for now, only the UK I think.
This looks like a great collection of sharp personal! But I'm a little too aged for cookies and a bit to doggone I hope the country boy gets a hobby.
One of the key points that also needs to be considered with the new EU cookie law is that an audit needs to made of the cookies on your website(s) and it needs to be documented.
I work in Affiliate Marketing, primarily working with my discount voucher website http://www.latestdiscountvouchers.co.uk, and there has been a lot of help given by the companies that I work with as well as the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB). The companies are being very pro-active is providing useful information to make it a little easier for their affiliates.
The BBC web site has a cookie link at the bottom of the page that includes some interesting information regarding their interpretation of the law (my gold standard). The Cookie Settings page includes a note at the bottom saying that they link to third parties that may set cookies that are outside of their control.
Honestly I have no idea what the heck is going on with any of this junk at this point.
This is all very confusing. I have a number of Wordpress static and blog sites all of which use analytics. Some of those sites are business sites some are just info sites. What do I do? I genuinely have no idea how to press forward with this. (I'm in the UK btw).
It looks nice to me.

(JTA) — Belgian police arrested a Muslim man who asked passersby on a Brussels street if they were Jewish while holding a knife and shouting about Allah.
No one was hurt in the incident last week in Koekelberg, a northwestern neighborhood of the Belgian capital.
Police subdued the man in the neighboring district of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek following an hourlong search, the news site HLN reported Friday. His name was not disclosed.
The suspect is not considered a terrorist, a spokesman for the Brussels Prosecutor's Office told HLN, though he is believed to have committed attempted murder "with connection to his religious or philosophical convictions."

Licensure Loopholes: Nevada
Exiting Ineffective Teachers Policy
The state should close loopholes that allow teachers who have not met licensure requirements to continue teaching.
National Council on Teacher Quality. (2011). Licensure Loopholes: Nevada results. State Teacher Policy Database. [Data set].
Retrieved from: https://www.nctq.org/yearbook/state/NV-Licensure-Loopholes-10
Analysis of Nevada's policies
Nevada no longer permits provisional licenses to be issued to teachers who apply for the following certificates: elementary license; special teaching license in music, art or special education; or secondary license in art, biological science, chemistry, English, French, general science, history, mathematics, music, physical science, reading, social studies, Spanish, speech and drama.
NAC 391.056
Recommendations for Nevada
Nevada recognized the factual accuracy of this analysis.
Research has shown that "the difference in student performance in a single academic year from having a good as opposed to a bad teacher can be more than one full year of standardized achievement." See E. Hanushek, "The Trade-Off between Child Quantity and Quality," The Journal of Political Economy 100 No. 1 (1992): 84-117. Hanushek has also found that highly effective teachers can improve future student earnings by more than $400,000, assuming a class of 20. "The Economic Value of Higher Teacher Quality."
