'Paradox of thrift' or 'paradox of saving', a concept popularized by John M. Keynes in the 20th century, has an uncanny resemblance to the current economic condition of US.
"Hard-Hit Families Finally Start Saving, Aggravating Nation's Economic Woes."
That was the headline of The Wall Street Journal about a year ago.
The self-contradictory headline is the best example of paradox of thrift you will ever come across. During this period, several other magazines and dailies had similar sounding headlines to their credit; all of which stated that our tendency of saving money during economic slowdown, is coming hard on the overall economy of the nation as well as the world.
Even though it is difficult to trace the exact origin of this concept, with some sources tracing its application to antiquity, the credit of popularizing it in the modern era goes to eminent English economist, John Maynard Keynes.
An ardent advocate of the use of government monetary and fiscal policy to maintain full employment without inflation, Keynes voiced the need of spending instead of saving for economic stabilization way back in 1931―when the Great Depression was at our doorstep.
Keynes himself cited the first instance of use of this concept in a 1714 book titled 'The Fable of the Bees' authored by philosopher-economist, Bernard Mandeville. In Keynesian economics, the paradox of thrift has a crucial role to play, considering that this economic school of thought believes that demand is one of the driving factors of economic downturns.
In economics, the paradox of thrift is a paradox (a statement that contradicts itself), which states that if all of us try to save money during an economic recession, the aggregate demand will fall, and this decrease in consumption and economic growth will eventually lower the total savings in the overall economy.
In a broad sense, it suggests that saving―a practice which is beneficial for you as an individual―is harmful for the economy as a whole. During an economic recession, people try to save as much money as they can in order to secure their future.
Instead of being helpful, this adversely affects the economy. Simply put, if the consumer does not spend, it tends to result in decline in overall revenue earned by the companies―a decline which may eventually force the companies to cut down on pay or―in worst case scenario―resort to layoffs.
It takes on the widely believed idea that saving is good for the economy, by stressing on the fact that even though individual saving may seem good for the economy, collectively it hampers economic growth and results in more economic problems in the society.
Though this concept seems quite practical in nature, it has been subjected to a great deal of criticism by some of the famous economists of the world. Some of these economists dismiss it citing that the prices will fall during a recession, and this fall in prices will result in an increase in demand and bring things back to normal.
Others argue that savings being loanable funds, tend to increase institutional lending and subsequent spending. Some economists also argue that saving money is better than hoarding currency, which can eventually result in savings-induced recession.
Though the critics have always been of the opinion that the paradox of thrift is a theory and not a stated fact, you don't need a degree in economics to see that today this 'theory' is applicable to the US economy like never before.


The third episode of the current series is the strongest in many ways, but the weakest in others. It tells a much smaller story than the last two episodes, at a much more leisurely pace. However, it isn't the story that the trailers suggested and is the most adult episode this series.
I was expecting a humorous, over the top, action filled Western featuring aliens and a robotic gun-slinger and while there were moments of humour ('Tea – the strong stuff', Amy's ineptitude with a gun, Susan the trans horse [Although I feel I need to point something out to the Doctor – he says to respect her lifestyle choices and then uses a gender other than the one she's identified as to describe her]) there was also far more ethical debate than we've had in the two slightly pantomime-esque previous episodes.
The combination of a war-criminal doctor seeking redemption and a Doctor who is acting far darker than usual (I'm now convinced something happened to him in the Dalek asylum – see my comment on my last review for more details of my 'theory') made a fantastic counterpoint.
The Doctor crossing a line (both figuratively and literally – the rocks and stone boundary seemed to exist only to create a physical metaphor for The Doctor to step over) by pulling a gun on Jex (the other doctor) and marching him to his death shows a darker side of the Doctor. Tennant's Doctor said no second chances, Smith isn't even giving people one now. Moffatt said there wasn't an arc this year, but as the fans know - he lies.
It was really interesting to see an episode with no clear-cut bad guys – just shades of grey. Jex was a flawed man, one who had done terrible things for the greater good and the Gunslinger just wanted revenge for being turned into a monster. This is not something you usually see in family shows, and shows that Doctor Who has something for everyone.
However, as I mentioned at the start of the review this episode also had many flaws. It never satisfactorily explains why the Gunslinger doesn't just teleport into town and shoot Jex, or why The Doctor doesn't just use the TARDIS to save the day.
It is also a very traditional Western - the plot goes exactly where you'd expect if you've ever watched a Western. I knew the Gunslinger would end up as the Sheriff about 5 minutes into the epsisode. Ben Browder, playing the marshall, was also criminally underused – he's a fantastic actor with a great sci-fi pedigree behind him (if you haven't watched Farscape go do that now!) and I felt they could have got far more use out of him than they did. To my mind it felt a bit like stunt casting to improve the US viewing figures (not that they need to as it turns out – the series is getting some of the best viewing figures BBC America has ever had).
The biggest flaw in the episode, however, is that it fails the Bechedel test! Other than Amy (who is really on form in this episode) there is only one female speaking character (two if you include the narrator) and she only has one line. This left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth, but may just be a problem with the Western genre as women do not feature heavily in traditional westerns. It didn't help that she also looked too much like River for my liking, and so I was holding her to a higher standard than I would an ordinary extra.
Lastly, have you noticed the credits change each week? The Doctor Who title was wooden this week, reflecting the western theme, whereas last week it was lizard skin like and in the first episode it was Dalek armour coating styled. A nice little touch that many people apparently have overlooked.

The Founders of BLLA Relaunch StayBoutique as Booking & Media Platform That Vets & Verifies Featured Hotels
Board Announced to Oversee First Authenticated Selection of Independently Owned Boutique Hotels, Alternative Lodging, and Small Businesses Targeting Discerning Travelers
USA, Los Angeles, California. January 12, 2023
With the boutique hotel sector experiencing a 7.7% growth compared to 2021, the mother-daughter duo of Frances and Ariela Kiradjian, who brought the world BLLA (Boutique Lifestyle Leaders Association), announced that 2023 will see an expansion and enhancement of their referral site, stay-boutique.com, to a booking and media platform that vets and verifies boutique hotels for consumers. As they have done with the other divisions of BLLA, the Kiradjians have invited hospitality industry thought-leaders to join the new board of StayBoutique™ who have experiences from companies such as Expedia, Saudi Tourism Authority, Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, and more.
Boutique hotels are typically stylish, multi-concept hotels, situated in attractive destinations, that offer individualized service to their guests while being owned independently of big hotel chains. Interestingly, the enhanced site will also include alternative lodgings fitting the boutique lifestyle as well as boutique businesses such as craft coffee companies, restaurants/bars, spas/wellness facilities, retail, museums, fitness centers, and more, all of which are independently owned establishments that StayBoutique already highlights on its site and in its CityGuides.
Although there are a number of existing booking sites that have a selection of boutique hotels, many include improperly tagged hotels that are not at all boutique. With BLLA clarifying what qualifies as a true boutique hotel, their StayBoutique is the first booking site 100% focused on the sector. As the site's logo delightfully exemplifies, these will be "cherry-picked," approved & verified boutique hotels for consumers who seek out the boutique lifestyle.
StayBoutique also defines itself as a Media Platform since it will include interviews, travel stories, commentary, videos, a podcast, and other storytelling tools that highlight the boutique lifestyle, including features in the company's print and digital editions of StayBoutique Magazine. The multi-platform stories will underscore that these one-of-a-kind travel experiences - including supporting small businesses in the destination - are the heart and soul of the travel industry.
The collective travel industry knowledge of the new Board will be a driving force for helping StayBoutique™ become a major voice in travel. StayBoutique's new Board of Advisors includes:
Melissa Maher - Most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice President of Marketing and Industry Engagement at Expedia Group. Melissa is a forward-thinking strategist with a multifaceted perspective and deep insights into global marketing, public relations, communications, diversity & inclusion, technology, and commercial relationship-building across the hospitality sector.
John Wallis - Principal at Rule No. 1, a consultancy that helps organizations define and truly live their Purpose and Values focusing on leadership behavior. John is Past CMO and Global Head of Brand Strategy for Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
Dorothy Dowling - Past CMO of Best Western International, a C Suite Marketing and Commercial Leader, Public Company Board Director, a leader in global digital, E-commerce, and loyalty marketing, as well as global commercial B2B expertise.
Edie Rodriguez - Member of the Board of Directors Saudi Tourism Authority, former CEO of Crystal Cruises & former Chairwoman of the Americas for Ponant Cruises. Edie is a decisive leader with extensive experience in the global cruise, travel, hospitality, luxury, and technology industries.
Caryl Helsel - Founder & CEO of Dragonfly Strategists, a holistic advisory firm specializing in commercial, IT, and operations advisory. Helsel is a specialist in commercial and IT strategy, business and relationship development, and was recently awarded the inaugural TIEWN (Travel Industry Executive Women's Network) Fearless Woman of the Year Award.
Hilda Delgado - Chief Financial Officer of Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, a leading luxury and lifestyle brand and hotel management company recognized for its collection of luxury and urban hotels, voted "Top Ten Hotel Brand" in Travel & Leisure magazine.
Spending on accommodation is the Global Tourism Industry's biggest source of revenue, accounting for 19.0% of industry revenue in 2021 and even more in 2022. The Boutique Hotel Industry revenue in 2021 was $12.4 billion , with projected growth (2021-2026) at 11.1%. (Source: IBISWorld, Global Tourism, Industry Report 2021)
"The boutique hotel sector accounts for nearly 5,500 hotels across the U.S. alone," said Christian E. Hardigree, hospitality industry educator and Regional Chancellor, University of South Florida St. Petersburg. "The pandemic has driven travelers toward the boutique market, which is expected to rake in $16.9 billion in revenue this year."
According to BLLA founder, Frances Kiradjian, market drivers for the boutique hotel sector include emerging tourism and corporate industries across various regions, rising disposable income, increasing standard of living, and the rise in preference for unique hotel experiences. Consumer feedback shows they also enjoy the local focus, attention to detail, and personalized service afforded to them at boutique hotels.
Supported by the establishment of the Boutique Lifestyle Leaders Association (BLLA) in 2009, boutique hotels have emerged over the last decade to successfully compete with larger brands that were previously considered unconquerable 'giants' in the hospitality landscape. However, since there was no exact definition of what a boutique hotel is, there was no complete list of vetted & verified authentic global boutique hotels, until now.
The StayBoutique™ website allows users to book a hotel of their choosing directly, thereby establishing a relationship with the hotel from the first interaction. In the role of "matchmaker," StayBoutique acts as the client's advocate and a valuable partner to the hotel. The hotels will also have the opportunity to become an official member of BLLA in order to take advantage of their annual leadership and hotel investment events and to take advantage of a multitude of resources -- from vendor discounts to accessing a portal exclusive to hotel members, enabling them to connect and learn from each other.
StayBoutique vets & verifies authentic global boutique hotels.
The platform is dedicated to leading the modern renaissance of the Boutique Lifestyle Industry.

Apple's "Let's Rock" Event Run-Down
Yesterday in San Fransisco, Apple [NASDAQ:AAPL] announced a slew of music-related device and software updates for the iPod and Macintosh. Some are big and some are small, but as a collective whole, the updates are an effective reiteration of why Apple is so strong in the personal music space.
First off: the software stuff. A new iTunes 8 took center-stage for a while as Steve Jobs iterated its numerous new features, including the return of video purchaes from NBC to the iTunes Store after a year hiatus. Not only that, but NBC's shows — and others — can now be purchased in HD for $3. What that will do to download speeds has yet to be seen, but most viewers would likely wait another few minutes for their purchase to finish if it means they get to watch Alec Baldwin's beautiful, statuesque face on 30 Rock in HD.
Also on the docket were Genius Playlists, also known as shuffle with brains. The feature lets iTunes peruse your music and get a feel for its sound and structure, which in turn can drive iTunes recommendations and create custom playlists you might like.
There's also a new "grid view" for browsing your music library that makes the concept of "cover flow" an actually-useful feature. Not that it was totally superflous before, but… it was totally superfluous before. Apple has also brought in a new visualizer called Magnetosphere, which is rumored to sync up perfectly with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. And any other album you play on iTunes.
Hardware-wise, there was iPod news aplenty, starting with the downgrading/pricebreaking of the iPod Classic. The 160GB version is no more, sadly and mysteriously, but the version below it — which was once 80GB for $250 — has been boosted to 120GB for the same price.
Then there was the new Nano. It ditched the squat form factor of last year's model and regains its tall, svelte look, and borrowing the curved backplate from the iPhone. The screen is larger, and the UI has been revised so that album art now appears on the bottom side of the screen while the user is operating the menus. It's available in a whopping nine colors, which I won't list here, for fear that I will drool on my keyboard and electrocute myself. The 8GB model will be $150 and the 16GB will be $200, and Apple has added headphones with a line-in mini-mic to allow for voice recording. It's also added an accelerometer that lets you view everything horizontal, ala iPod Touch, and get this: if you want to play in shuffle mode, you can just shake it. Battery life hasn't changed much from the last generation: 24 hours of music and four hours of video, but green gred has improved; there is apparently no arsenic, BFR, mercury or PVC in the new model. You can eat it, too!
There was also a new iPod touch on display, with a curved, chrome backplate and new external volume controls. The best part of the update: integrated Nike+ reception, as well as on-the-fly genius playlist creation (which will also be included in the iPhone 2.1 software update this Friday, along with better battery life, fewer dropped calls, and bug fixes.) The 8GB will now run you $230, the 16GB $300, and the 32GB $400 — all cheaper than before.
Oh, and one final update: the iPod shuffle, while unchanged, will now come in new colors like its big brother, the Nano.


The Access Dinghy is a two seat, cat rigged (a main sail only) dinghy operated by a joy stick. This, along with its hammock seat, allows adaptation to most levels of physical and developmental disability. The weighted centre board and floatation tanks make it virtually un-tippable. The Access is used for initial training and recreational sailing.
A very fast, high pointing dinghy which has high gunwales and as a result is very dry. Used for introducing the student to use of a main sail and jib. The Liberty also has a weighted centre board and floatation tanks as in the Access Dinghy.
A very fast racer with a 330 lbs ballasted keel that makes it virtual untippable. It is operated from a dry cockpit using a joy stick.
One of the Martin 16 also has either electric controls or a sip and puff system.
A second person can be accommodated in a seat behind the skipper. Used through out North America in racing regattas.
A very fast Trimeran and one of only two in Canada. The Challenger is an English designed and manufactured boat, sailed through out the UK by able sail schools. The Challenger is used for advanced sail trim training and just for the sheer fun of it.
A very stable and ease to handle dinghy. Used by many yacht clubs and camps for sail training. The pivoting centre board and rudder allow it to sail in shallow water and be beached. However unlike our other adaptive boats the CL14 will dump.

LAWRENCE COUNTY ARREST LIST – AUGUST 13 – 21, 2018
The Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville, Kentucky has finally conducted a major purge and release of prisoners being housed in recent days due to the severe overcrowding at the jail, bringing the number of inmates currently incarcerated to its lowest mark in a year with the total down on Friday, August 17, to 256.
Two weeks ago, the inmate count was at 315. Two months ago it was at an all time high of 357 inmates; as the BSRDC jail facility that as it was built for a designated maximum capacity of 225.
What makes this major drop in the inmate numbers so surprising is that the recent arrest levels have been quite high in Lawrence County and the other counties that use the BSRDC.
In the last 9 day period from 5:00 P.M. August 12 thru to 5:00 P.M. August 12, there were at least 129 individuals who were arrested and were brought to be lodged at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville, Kentucky. Out of those 129, 18 of those arrested were from Lawrence County.

Seventy-five years ago, in the spring of 1944, florists from the United States and Canada met socially to get to know one another and discuss business, industry changes and wire services. Wholesalers, Bankers and other industry people, became very interested and they would exchange meeting places of mutual consent on either side of the border. As this group grew, the wire service industry offered to facilitate, by means of sponsoring guest speakers to help florists grow in their business.
F.T.D. was the leader in knowledge at that time and supported the group enormously. As a result, it became known as Niagara International Association of FTD Members and has maintained the same for the past 64 yrs.
Faced with the diverse changes in the floral industry, the Board decided to change the name to Niagara International Association of Florists (NIA), opening the door to all florists regardless of what wire service they belonged to. Floral Design Shows have diminished and NIA felt no florist should be excluded because of membership affiliation.
Niagara International Association of Florists will continue its mandate to educate the floral industry and involve our Community College Floral Culture programs, which is an integral part of NIA's continued success.


Adobe announced today support for the H.264 video codec in an update to their Flash Player 9 software. No longer will it be necessary to encode video files specifically using their FLV video format in order to allow playback of video using the Flash Player, which is pretty awesome news really. It will of course rely on people upgrading to the latest version of Flash Player 9 but as most people receive this via auto-update this should be reasonably fast.
Apart from the benefit of using an open standard for video it does also bring higher quality video, specifically HD format video into the realm of Flash Player. The only other mainstream way of playing H.264 video in a web browser is via Apple's Quicktime player, soon Flash will allow you to play those same files without requiring Quicktime as a download.
Maybe that's why there's no Flash Player on the iPhone?
When the iPhone launched recently the 'great ommission' as some saw it (apart from copy and paste!) was that there was no Flash Player support in the iPhone's Safari browser. A few different theories have abounded as to why this is, one of the main theories being the impact the Flash player would have on the iPhone's battery life, this is probably quite true and Apple's own Quicktime framework is undoubtedly optimised better for playback on the iPhone. Another reason was that YouTube, probably the largest provider of Flash video format files, have their own application on the iPhone. This YouTube application actually plays video that has been re-rendered into H.264 instead of the Flash FLV format, thereby doing away with one of the reasons for FLV support in Safari.
The addition of H.264 support to the Flash Player means that this same YouTube footage as used by the iPhone could now be played in the Flash Player too. It's quite likely that Apple would have knowledge that Adobe were working on H.264 support in the Flash player and this made it even less essential to include Flash Player.
This does of course still leave the many interactive Flash content providers out in the cold but as Flash has become so ubiquitous in regards to video playback then I think this still represents a great win-win for both Apple and Adobe, and I guess YouTube too really. If content creators choose to use the open standard of H.264 for video instead of the FLV format then any Mac, PC or iPhone user using Quicktime to play movies can view the content, as can anyone using the new Flash Player. This does appear to represent a good move towards open standards, it will take time for the new Flash Player to get more widespread support so I don't think FLV format will go away anytime soon, but it is a step forward at least.
There is only one negative aspect of the Flash Player support of H.264, and that is streaming support of H.264 will only work if it's being served by Adobe's own Flash Media Server software. This is due to the files being streamed via Adobe's own RTMP streaming protocol rather than the RTSP protocol supported by Apple's Quicktime / Darwin Streaming Server or Real's Helix servers.
This is a shame, but hopefully Adobe will see fit to change tack on this, perhaps it is just a technical issue in that they don't yet have support for RTSP inside Flash player.
To get a great explanation about all the new changes then go and read Tinic Uro's post "What just happened to video on the web?". Tinic Uro is one of the main Flash Player engineers at Adobe, in his post he introduces all the changes as simply as he possibly can. There's also some information on Ryan Stewart's blog – "The H.264 Announcement in Black and White".

Two For Sorrow
Nicola Upson
London, 1903. Two women are hanged in Holloway Prison for killing babies. More than thirty years later, Josephine Tey sets out to write a novel about Amelia Sach and Annie Walters, the notorious Finchley baby farmers. Meanwhile, her friend, Inspector Archie Penrose is investigating the sadistic murder of a young seamstress, found dead in the Motley sisters' studio, amid preparations for a star-studded charity gala.
The girl's death seems to be the result of a long-standing domestic feud, but Archie is unconvinced; and when a second young woman is involved in an horrific accident soon afterwards, the search begins for a vicious killer who will stop at nothing to keep the past where it belongs.

The TS Louch Memoirs Continued – Part 1, Chapter 2
December 1914 – The 11th Battalion has just arrived in Egypt and making their way to Mena Camp in the shadow of the Sphinx and the Pyramids.
Chapter 2 1915 – Mena Camp – Training in Egypt – Lemnos
Corporal Louch takes up his story:
GHQ Egypt had had little warning of our arrival, and were under the impression that we would be bringing our camp equipment with us, so had made practically no arrangements for our reception.
Mena Camp
On 10th December I wrote:
"We arrived here on Monday night after coming from Alexandria by train. For five hours we travelled along the Nile Delta… a wonderful place… every square yard is under cultivation. The places the Arabs live in beggar description: a few mud huts without windows or chimneys, no gardens or flowers, everything is absolutely squalid. The whole time we were passing Arabs on camels, donkeys, mules, horses – anything they could ride.
We arrived at Cairo at 6.30 p.m., but it was quite dark. We were given a cup of cocoa and some bread and cheese, and then we hung about outside the railway station till 9 o'clock. We then got on to tram cars and came out here – an hour's ride.
After finding our place – no easy matter in a camp of 20,000 – we got to bed by moonlight. We have no tents, and sleep out in the open, though tonight Vic Cargeeg and I have built a humpy out of three blankets and some sticks, and I am writing this in here by the light of a candle.
The camp is right at the foot of the Pyramids. I haven't been up them yet, but hope to do so soon.
Sand is everywhere – no vegetation at all."
For the first few days we did little but march out into the desert, collect large white stones, and bring them back to mark the boundaries of the Brigade and Battalion lines. We got very bored with this; but it was probably the best sort of activity to get us fit after being cooped up for weeks on the troopship. On 20th December I wrote:
"To-day is the day of days and Cairo, at least outwardly, is en fete for at noon the British Protectorate was publicly proclaimed, and the new Sultan acknowledged. It happened to be my day for leave: but nearly every place is closed, and I could only walk about and look at the decorations. I had a talk with the interpreter (there is one to each Battalion) and he told me that he thought the British rule would be unpopular, but that our arrival had altogether over-awed the malcontents. One of our regiments came into town in case there should be any disturbance, but everything passed off quietly. I can't tell you how much I am longing for letters; here it is seven weeks since we left Fremantle, and I haven't had so much as a line from Australia. We have started training, and are out in the desert all day. The heat is awful and the sand very trying: but we manage to endure it somehow. The nights are frightfully cold, and the dew is like heavy rain. At first we slept out, but there were so many down with colds that they have now managed to scrape up a few tents.
No1 General Camp, Mena Egypt 1915 – per AWM – P11294.001
On Wednesday last another chap and I (Puckle) had a guide and did the Pyramids and Sphinx thoroughly. We visited the tomb in the third Pyramid, which is some 80 feet underground and you have to crawl down a narrow passage on your hands and knees. You get down inside and then you have to pay a piastre for a candle to enable you to see your way; then when you get into the tomb of King Mycron (or some such name as that) you pay another five piastres (about 1/-d.) for the guide to light some magnesium wire, so that you can see the beautiful roof. Then you pay a boy one piastre to mind your boots which you have been obliged to discard, and finally another boy ½ piastre to pour water over your hands to wash them. We then went to the temple of the Sphinx – there is much to see. There are a lot of Lancashire Territorials here, and they do look a diminutive lot beside our fellows, but we got on very well with them – much better than we do amongst ourselves, for there is a lot of interstate jealousy."
What really staggered us about the Tommies was their vocabulary, or lack of it. One four-letter word with variants provided verbs, nouns and adjectives – the staple of their conversation. The men in my section were not particularly strait-laced, but only swore in a mild way when exasperated. Our officers did not arrange any celebration for Christmas Day; but half the Battalion was given Cairo leave.
"Xmas Day was not very thrilling as far as I was concerned. After Church Parade all my pals got leave and went into Cairo; but my name was not on the leave list and I was obliged to stay in camp. After dinner, which consisted of tinned pineapple and bread and butter, I scraped up enough energy to do my week's washing… Yesterday I climbed to the top of the highest Pyramid (Cheops). The view is magnificent, but the climb, both up and down, is rather tedious."
Training in Egypt
At the New Year our Battalion was re-organised to bring the War Establishment into line with that of the British Army. Hitherto there had been eight companies, each with a company commander, two half-company commanders, a Colour Sergeant, and four sections. Under the new establishment there were four companies, each with a company commander, a second in command, four subaltern platoon commanders, a CSM, a CQSM, four platoon sergeants and sixteen section commanders, some of whom were sergeants and some corporals. G and H companies were amalgamated, Major Denton became company commander and Croly second in command. My section, No. 16, was part of No. 16 platoon; and we still marched in rear of the Battalion. But from now on I had as companions on the march Croly, and the pack mule laden with two boxes of s.a.a. The mule suffered from Halitosis and Hay Fever and constantly sneezed over us, which brought forth highly coloured tit-bits from Croly's repertoire.
Route March from Mena Camp 1915 – per AWM – J03287
Route marching was no longer the dull business it had been. We had no band, but there was a lot of singing on the march: each section taking it in turns to provide the music. The leit-motif of our section was the chorus from 'Cock Robin' – "All the birds of the air went a-sighing and a-sobbing when they heard of the death of poor Cock Robin, etc." a good marching tune. Ray Clarke would have had to battle to get into a Bach choir; but his stentorian baritone carried us along many weary miles on the march. Two other sections in our platoon had their own tunes, and the fourth provided mouth organ music.
We now became aware that we belonged to the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Australian Division, which formed part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps – later abbreviated to ANZAC. But to us these were little more than names. We hear of General Birdwood; but he lived in Cairo. Divisional Headquarters occupied the palatial Mena House Hotel – the swimming pool of which was our only means of bathing. It was allotted out day by day, and if we were lucky we got our turn about once in three weeks. We occasionally got a glimpse of Col. Brudenell White, the GSO 1, but General Bridges and the rest of his staff might never have existed so far as we were concerned. However we saw a lot of our Brigade Commander, Col. Sinclair MacLagan, who had served at the Boer War, and looked and was every inch a soldier. Before the war he had been Director of Drills at the Royal Military College, Duntroon, on loan from the British Army. His Staff Captain, also a British army officer on loan to Duntroon where he had been Instructor in Tactics, was Capt A.M. Ross. The Brigade Major, C.H. Brand, a regular Australian officer – a bit of an old woman and a martinet – was mainly interested in spit-and-polish and administration work; so they changed their duties round; Brand did the Staff Captain's work, and Ross that of the Brigade Major.
The other Battalions in the 3rd Brigade were the 9th from Queensland, the 10th from South Australia, and the 12th containing men from Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia. Australian soldiers are very clannish, and we had little to do with the other Battalions which we rarely saw except at Brigade Church parades. But we kept in touch with our personal friends in A company of the 10th whose tent lines adjoined ours. Major Brand had a passion for tent inspections, and woe betide the tent that could not produce its wash bowl, bucket, hurricane lamp, and tent mallet. Bt pinching was rife, and a tent rarely had all that it should have had, unless it had recently made up its complement at someone else's expense. The 10th and 11th never had tent inspections at the same time: so in case of need we got a temporary loan of any equipment of which we were short from our South Australian friends, and if they were short they borrowed from us – a satisfactory working arrangement.
Our 11th Bn officers were mostly from the Militia or the Senior Cadets; some had been Area officers and other school teachers. Two had been at the Boer War, but few, if any, had ever served in the ranks. Not all were popular at that time, and anyone who had given particular cause for dislike might find himself 'mentioned' in the early morning despatches. Newsboys arrived with the daily paper at reveille, and for a piastre or two they could be induced and tutored to go up and down the lnes calling "Egyptian Tim-ez, very good news. Major X (or as the case might be) Dead." Sometimes the personal announcement was in terms that could hardly be repeated in a drawing room. The newsboys were excellent mimics, though they had no idea of the meaning of what they were paid to say. The officers kept very much to themselves, and did not joke or mix with the men when off duty. Croly was an exception. This was according to the book, and we were prepared to accept it. However, one day I got a surprise. I was washing a pair of socks when Capt Ross of the Brigade staff, sat down and chatted to me about Cairo, the conditions in camp, and the training programme ahead. Here, I thought, is an officer after my own heart under whom it would be a privilege to serve: and I little guess that within two years he would be my Battalion commander, and I his adjutant. After Peck, the dominant personality amongst our officers was Capt Leane. He had in his company from the Goldfields a lot of tough characters, and a few bad hats; but in his eyes all these geese were swans, and he would hear nothing against them. He was as brave as a lion, and a good man to serve under; but he was not always generous in giving due credit to people outside his company for their work alongside. The officers in the other AIF Bns were much like ours. Some of the more senior ones were unable to stand the strain of active service, or too old to learn new tricks; but the majority of the younger ones, profiting by experience and learning to look after their men, made good.
My section; No. 16, part of No. 16 platoon
Cpl TS Louch (sitting in centre) and his Section in camp at Blackboy Hill c.a. September 1914 – ex slwa BA78028
My section was a mixed lot; but we got on well together. Tom Rose (25) and Ray Clarke (25) were farmers from Roelands. 'Old Tom' as he was known even then, and Ray were expert marksmen, and earned fame as snipers at Anzac. Ray, when in an expansive mood, would sing, or spout chunks of L'Allegro, which he had learned at school:
"But come thou Goddess fair and free,
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne etc. etc."
Dick Clarke (21) was a younger brother of Ray, but lacked his exuberance. He and I were about the same age, and were good pals. "Bull", W.C. Rose (21) – so called on account of his build – was a dairy farmer from Capel. He was not a near relative of Old Tom, and his friends were in another section, so we saw little of him when he was off duty. Vic Cargeeg (24) had also been farming in the South-West when the war broke out: but he really belonged to the city. His father was a wealthy Perth merchant, and they lived in a large house at Swanbourne. "Bannie", R.G. Banfield (21) was a recent arrival in Australia. He was a bright, softly-spoken lad from the Scilly Isles, where he had grown daffodils for the London market. Bill Bevis (19) a timber worker, and Don Geddes (21) a fitter, were inseparable mates. The baby of the section was H.E.G. Barton (19) – the boy from the bush. He might have walked straight out of one of Steele Rudd's stories. He had a number of high-sounding Christian names, but answered to "Joe". He was born in Victoria, but had been brought up by a relative of whom he spoke as "M'uncle". Joe rarely had any money, for as fast as he was paid he lost it at 'Two-up'. When he first joined us we kept a fatherly eye on him to see that he did not get himself into trouble; but he did his work satisfactorily, and turned out to be no problem child. Life had not been very kind to him and we were sad when he died of wounds at Gallipoli – a Youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown.
There were three other men. D.K. Crerar (27) a fitter, came from Canada, but was known as "Yank". He claimed that he had been chauffeur to the Duke of Connaught, when Governor General of the Dominion. He lived 'out' because, though possessing no qualifications for the job he had been appointed company cook. Jack Spark (33) was born in America, but had been farming in W.A. He kept much to himself, and was something of an artist with pencil and crayon. He was inclined to get a bit testy with the younger men in the section. When he returned from embarkation leave at Blackboy Hill, he told us he had chased and bayoneted a sheep 'in order to get the feel of it'. E.A. Bignell (36) a commercial traveller, though engaged to be married and of an age when he might well have stayed at home, enlisted from a keen sense of duty, and to him soldiering was a very serious business. I suppose the rest of us had enlisted from a sense of duty; but we also hoped to get some excitement, and possibly fun, out of it too. He was a very kindly man, and when I was down with influenza he used to get up before reveille and bring me a cup of hot coffee while I was still in bed. He and Crerar both lost their lives at the Landing.
When we got back to camp after a hot day's work, one man would take the tent bucket to the canteen and get it filled with a shandy of beer and ginger beer, which we then shared. Otherwise we drank little, and few of us smoked. Leave was plentiful, and there was no need to over-stay it. There were no camp entertainments, so in the evenings we usually played half-penny poker in our tent, which annoyed Jack Spark, if he wanted to go to bed or write letters. Later we got mess huts with tables and forms, which eased the position. I don't suggest that we were any better than the average, though perhaps more law-abiding, as we all had clean conduct sheets. Mena was not a good camp, but by and large we were fairly happy there.
At the New Year I, with many others, caught the prevailing influenza. We were not sufficiently ill to go to hospital, but very sick. The M.O. marked us down each day for light duty. We should have been allowed to lie down in our tents; but to Major Brand light duty meant light duty, and he goaded on the Quartermaster (Capt McLennan) to have us out picking up paper or doing odd jobs the whole time the other men were out on parade. McLennan was a good sort and knew we were not malingering; so as soon as Brand had turned his back he would let us go to our tents. But Brand would return in no time to find something else for us to do, and we would be roused out again. It was inhuman treatment, and we hated him for it, though he was only doing his duty according to his understanding of the regulations.
Sir George Reid addressing the Australian troops at Mena Camp 1915 – per AWM – G01603
Sir George Reid, a comic figure in a frock coat and silk hat, came out from England to inspect us, and tried to make a speech to a parade of 10,000 men, which was quite inaudible. On 10th January I wrote:
"To-day we had our Xmas pudding, which though late was much appreciated… I think the London Daily News supplied the puddings, or at any rate collected the money for them. We had an enormous piece each, equivalent to about six slices."
It was after this that the Australian Comforts fund was started.
We now began field training, based on the supposed lessons of the Boer War. Day after day we made frontal attacks on an imaginary enemy supposed to be occupying some bit of desert which was impossible to identify unless it was marked by flags. From afar we approached in company column until we got within the supposed range of the enemy guns, when we broke down first into platoons and then into sections. When told that we were within rifle range, we did the old business of advancing in short rushes until about one hundred yards from our objective. We then fixed bayonets and lay down, firing lustily while reinforcements came from behind to thicken the attack. Units got intermingled and we frequently found that we were told off as part of the command of some new officer who had got in amongst us.
It was during this time period that the 11th Battalion were photographed on the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) at Giza, Egypt, on 10 January 1915 (click to zoom)
We liked our own platoon commander, Lt Buttle, and objected to being ordered about by some officer from another company; but so it was. When there were no more reinforcements to come from behind and the mystic moment arrived, someone carried away by the lust of battle would cry 'Charge' and all would thereupon dash forward making offensive noises until the enemy position was overrun. That accomplished we sorted ourselves out again into our proper sections, platoons and companies, and then marched home. But before we left the scene of battle, numerous small boys would miraculously appear from nowhere to sell us "Oringes – big wun – two for a half". They were good value for the money, as a half piastre was worth about a penny farthing. The sad part of it was that all this was no sort of preparation for the kind of warfare we were to engage in at Gallipoli, or later on in France. There was one dreadful day when we went to Tiger's Tooth for field firing exercises. A bitterly cold wind sprang up and raised a dust storm. After sitting for hours shrouded in our great coats we made our way back to camp with visibility almost nil. Only Croly was able to do justice to the occasion. I wrote on 30th January:
"This is strange weather. One day we are shivering with cold; the next we have to hide in our tents and shut up every space to keep out the dust, and then was are gasping with the heat. Yesterday was a real scorcher, and as luck would have it it was our day for a swim. Every other time we have struck icy cold days, and it has been a quick jump in, and run for your towel; but yesterday was ideal. The swimming bath is not very big, and with 200 men in it it is worse than a crowded ballroom… The day the mail arrives is most amusing. Everyone has letters, and they read out bits aloud. Thus we got local information about the price of potatoes at Capel, the starters for the Greenbushes Handicap, and the winner of the Pingelly Cup etc. etc."
Charlie Puckle was the cousin of some friends in England who had been kind to me when I was at school there. He and a partner had come from Melbourne and were farming at Morawa when war broke out. They could not both leave so they tossed up to see which one should go to the war, and Puckle won the toss. He and I took our Cairo leaves together, and in the time available we managed to visit most of the places of interest in that fascinating city. After doing our sight-seeing for the day we would repair to Shepheards Hotel and bath, write letters and dine there before returning to camp; later this hotel was put out of bounds to other ranks. At this time applications were called for candidates for commissions in the British Army, and after a lot of discussion and hesitation we sent in our names. We were interviewed by the Brigadier and presumably approved because a fortnight later we had to undergo a medical examination. Fortunately nothing came of it; but thinking I might need some money my father sent me fifty pounds, and I carried this in a money belt around my waist. At the end of February I wrote:
"The great news is that we are off on our travels again, though where we are going I do not know. Before you get this I daresay it will have been cabled out to you. Meanwhile I may not be able to write for a few mails. The 3rd Bde and the W.A. Artillery are going – not the rest. I think we are going to England to show Lord Kitchener what the Australians are like, as the 3rd Bde is the best of the infantry, and the W.A. battery came out best in the Artillery tests."
On 28th February we gathered together all our belongings, and marched to the Kasr-el-Nil barracks in Cairo, where we piled our rifles in the square and sat about until it was dark.

Then we marched to the station and entrained for Alexandria. There I posted a card to say that we had embarked on S.S. Suffolk – 'a rotten old tub, not nearly as good as the Ascanius; but no doubt we shall survive'. It was to be our home for the next eight weeks. We sailed with three other ships carrying the rest of the 3rd Bde and arrived some days later at Mudros, on the island of Lemnos. There we found a very large harbour, with a narrow entrance; a suitable assembly place for a large fleet. But when we arrived it was empty except for one or two small naval vessels.
As we now know it, the plan was that the Navy unaided would force the passage of the Dardanelles, and that we should then land and mop up the Cape Helles area where the Turkish defences were situated. There were few Turks about then, and the plan might well have succeeded if the Navy had played its part. But the forcing of the Narrows proved to be a tougher job than had been anticipated. The Turkish guns were mobile, and the ships were unable to locate them and pick up the range; and the shelling was too hot for the crews of the minesweepers to do their task. Finally, on 18th March, when three battleships were lost through running into a minefield near the Asian shore, the Naval C-in-C much against the advice of his Flag Captain Keyes, decided that the Navy could not go on alone, and would have to wait until an army had landed and destroyed the Turkish batteries guarding the Straits.

There was then of necessity a long pause while the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was assembled to carry on the war by land. But at the time we knew little or nothing of this, we just sat on our troopship waiting for orders.
Suffolk was a small ship, but the 11th Bn had all the space to itself, and we were not as crowded as we had been on Ascanius. The winds were cold and bleak, and we rarely saw the sun. On fine days we rowed ashore in the ship's boats and went for a march; but usually by the time we were ready to go back the wind had sprung up and rowing was difficult. As each boat had to make several trips it was often dark before the last loads reached the ship. Sometimes it was so rough that it was impossible to row the heavy lifeboats, and then we had to wait on the beach in the cold until the Navy sent picket boats to tow us back. The islanders lived in a very primitive manner; their hovels lacked windows and were devoid of comfort. Pasture was scarce, and each day they took out their goats and tethered them one by one at intervals so that they could only browse within the perimeter of the ropes by which they were tethered. When we marched into the interior of the island the inhabitants gathered and watched us shyly from a distance. But later, when they had got to know us better, they would offer for sale home made cheese, and bits of wood carving. I still have a small wooden ikon, evidently copied from some Byzantine relic, which is by no means devoid of artistic merit.
For some weeks we were the only troops at Mudros, but later more and more transports arrived bringing the rest of the Australians and New Zealanders, and the 29th British Division. The harbour was filled with ships of all sizes. GHQ was on S.S. Aragon, which never moved its position; it was said by the troops to be aground on bottles. When we saw this vast armada assembling we thought that to land on the Peninsula and march to Constantinople would be just like shelling peas… But it was a long and weary wait, and I was nearly always cold and hungry; the exception was one night when I changed places with Tom Stables, who had a permanent job in the bake house. There it was hot, and I was given as much bread and butter as I could eat.
941 Private William Clifton (Bull) ROSE, Cheops Pyramid 10 Jan 1915 – ex WAGS 11Bn Project
Bull Rose died of pneumonia, and on 30th March I took my section ashore to give him a military funeral. The Navy provided transport and it was a bit of a break for us; but it was my twenty-first birthday, and it seemed a pretty gloomy way of celebrating it. However, when we got back to the ship we found that an Australian mail had come in and there were no less than 30 letters and parcels for me: so it wasn't such a bad day after all. Later we all got food parcels from home, which we shared out. All the time we were at Lemnos there was strict censorship, and we could only send postcards or very short letters. At this time we were issued with Tommy caps, and removed the 'Australias' from our shoulder straps, to trick the Turks; we were then issued with 11th Bn colour patches – chocolate over Saxe blue – and I sent one home in a letter.
Towards the end of April Sir Ian Hamilton visited us on the Suffolk, and told us that we would very shortly be landing on the Peninsula.

New Research on stars reveals the way they pull in and destroy orbiting planets with their gravitation.
Scientists have long theorized about the possibilities of a large stars gravitational pull. In fact, this is where theories about black holes come from—stars that are so large and have such a powerful gravitational pull that not even light can escape its amazing grasp.
In the last few years, scientists have made further discoveries in regards to planets orbiting stars in far off galaxies and the effects those stars play on their orbit. More recent computer models have predicted ways that these orbiting planets might succumb to particularly strong gravitation.
"When we look at the observed properties of extrasolar planets, we can see that this has already happened – some extrasolar planets have already fallen into their stars," said Roy Barnes, astronomer at the University of Washington.
Scientists use computer models to determine where stars and planets should be located in the solar system. These computer models have evolved to be incredibly accurate and precise when it comes to predicting the existence of celestial bodies. But then scientists noticed certain planets missing from orbits and systems where, according to the models, they should exist.
Barnes says this is because those planets have already fallen into the stars. Recently he co-authored a paper on the subject which will soon be published in Astrophysical Journal.
The subject matter of the paper concerns planets which are orbiting relatively close to their parent stars. In addition to the computer model simulations, their existence is often proved by detecting variations in light given off from those stars when the planets come between the stars and earth in their orbits.
Co-author Brian Jackson, from the University of Arizona, says that because of the proximity of the stars and planets to each other their gravitational fields begin to affect each other in strange ways. Most often, the stars shape is affected because it is mostly a gaseous, flexible mass. This change is referred to as a change in the stars 'tide.
'"Tides distort the shape of a star. The bigger the tidal distortion, the more quickly the tide will pull the planet in," said Jackson. The process is incredibly slow, measured in millions of years, he noted. "Eventually the planet's orbit brings it close enough to the star that the star's gravity begins tearing the planet apart. So either the planet will be torn apart before it ever reaches the surface of the star, or in the process of being torn apart its orbit eventually will intersect the star's atmosphere and the heat from the star will obliterate the planet.
