Brexit legislation in the Supreme Court: A Tale of Two Withdrawal Acts?
The Supreme Court's ruling on the Scottish Continuity Bill gave both sides something but acknowledged that the vast bulk of the Bill was within Holyrood's competence at the time it was passed however, suggests Sionaidh Douglas-Scott, the strong feeling that devolved interests are not taken seriously highlights underlying fractures within the Union.
Judgement was delivered last Thursday by a unanimous UK Supreme Court on the legality of the Scottish Continuity Bill1 adopted by the Scottish Parliament in March 2018, and its compatibility with the UK EU Withdrawal Act (EUWA) which became law in June 2018. The Supreme Court found s17 of this Bill to be beyond the competence of the Scottish Parliament, and therefore unable to come into effect.
Devolution has taken place within the framework of EU membership. To an extent not always appreciated, the EU has provided overarching legal and governance frameworks for areas such as agriculture and fisheries, which are devolved matters. Holyrood, while being responsible for devolved matters, was also bound by regulation from the EU in those areas, rather than London. After Brexit, this must change, as powers formally held by the EU are 'repatriated'.
However, the UK EU Withdrawal Bill, when first published in July 2017, brought those powers directly back to Westminster (under the general label of 'retained EU law'). Both Scottish and Welsh First Ministers immediately attacked this as 'a naked power grab.' Under s12 EUWA, devolved authorities cannot stop UK Ministers from ultimately limiting their powers to amend retained EU law. This means the UK Government can unilaterally limit devolved powers in these areas.
This is why the Scottish Parliament refused to give its consent to the EUWA and additionally passed its own UK Withdrawal from the EU (Legal Continuity) (Scotland) Act 2018 by 95 to 32 votes in March 2018. The Scottish Continuity Bill shared a structure and approach with the EUWA, seeking to complement it, but diverged from it in some areas. For example, it did not exclude the Charter of Fundamental Rights from 'retained EU law', and would allow Scotland to keep pace with EU developments in future. It also, in s 17, required the consent of Scottish ministers, should UK Ministers wish to alter or repeal retained EU law within devolved areas – a provision crucial to protecting Scotland's interests but notably lacking in the EUWA.
The UK Government attacked the legal competence of Continuity Bill in the UK Supreme Court. Notably, this referral occurred before the EUWA had been adopted and become law at Westminster. Until judgement was given in this case, the Scottish Continuity Bill remained in limbo and could not come into force.
The UK Government's case, presented by Lord Keen, was that, given that the EUWA had now become law, the Scottish Continuity Bill lay outside of the Scottish Parliament's competence. Indeed, the EUWA itself is now incorporated into an amended Scotland Act 1998 as a 'protected enactment' that cannot be modified by devolved legislation, and much discussion in court concerned whether the Continuity Bill 'modifies' UK legislation. Lord Wolffe argued that the Scottish Parliament has competence to legislate regarding any matter not reserved to the UK and even if EU law ceases to apply in the UK, that does not affect this division of responsibility. EU powers should still return in line with the current division of powers under the devolution settlement.
In a long and complex judgement, the essential holding is this: the Court did not find all of the Continuity Bill to be outside of Holyrood's competence, only section 17. (Recall that s17 prohibits UK Ministers from regulating EU retained law on matters formerly within devolved competence, without consent of the Scottish government). The Court found s17 outside of the Scottish Parliament's competence because it would modify both the Scotland Act 1998 and provisions in EUWA itself.
In responding to the judgement, both sides seem to have claimed victory. Michael Russell MSP claimed 'The Scottish government's position has been vindicated by the Supreme Court judgment' but that sections of the Continuity Bill had been 'thwarted as a result of steps taken by the UK government', retrospectively introducing powers in the EUWA. In contrast, UK Scottish Secretary, David Mundell, stated that 'The Supreme Court has provided much-needed legal clarity that the Continuity Bill goes beyond the powers of the Scottish Parliament.'
However, the UK Government's case is undermined by the judgement itself, which unanimously found 'the whole of the Scottish bill would not be outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament', but, rather only s17, due to enactments in the EUWA. The obvious conclusion is that the Continuity Bill was largely competent when adopted by the Scottish Parliament in March. If so, surely it follows that the UK government may challenge any devolved legislation it dislikes, thus suspending its application while the matter is sub judice, and in the meantime adopt its own 'protected legislation', which by coming into force automatically trumps the devolved legislation? Does this not thoroughly undermine the devolution settlement?
The Scottish Government must now decide how much of the Continuity Bill may be salvaged, if indeed any of it. The Supreme Court also considered other sections in the Bill that would be outside competence as a result of the impact of the enactment of the EUWA on s17. These included the Scottish attempt to maintain the Charter of Fundamental Rights in law.
It is also striking that Westminster enacted the EUWA in spite of the Scottish Parliament's refusal of legislative consent. Although such consent is not legally necessary, it is required by the 'Sewel' Convention. Indeed, the UK Parliament recently endorsed the Sewel convention in s2 Scotland Act 2016, although in Miller the UK Supreme Court held the Sewel convention not legally enforceable. The willingness of the UK Parliament to enact the EUWA without the Scottish Parliament's consent provides an eye-catching illustration of Westminster Parliamentary (or perhaps UK Government?) sovereignty. However, ignoring such refusal may well have sober implications for the stability of the United Kingdom, and will not be forgotten quickly in Scotland.
The familiar phrase 'disunited kingdom' has been applied in the Brexit context. There is a strong feeling that devolved interests are not taken seriously in the Brexit process. Unlike federal states, devolved nations have no clear legal means of ensuring their different perspectives and needs. Brexit has brought such issues into focus, but provided no solutions.
1 Terminology is confusing. The Continuity Bill was passed by the Scottish Parliament but could not come into force while challenged in the Supreme Court. I here follow the Supreme Court's description of it as a 'Bill' not an 'Act'.

Glen Lake Camp Announces New Executive Director
Maria Shupe will join the GLC team Dec. 1 and is excited to continue and build upon "a very strong foundation" set forth by exiting Executive Director Natalie Davidson and the GLC staff and board.
Maria brings 30-plus years of Christian Education ministry experience (with nearly 20 years in camp, retreat and conference ministries).
The Central Texas Conference and the Glen Lake Board of Directors is excited to announce Maria Shupe as the next Executive Director of Glen Lake Camp. Maria's hiring concludes a nearly two-month search that began in September following current Executive Director Natalie Davidson's decision to step down from the role she's held since 2015. Maria, who served as the Executive Director of Highlands Presbyterian Camp and Retreat Center in Allenspark. Colo. for the past 16 years, is set to step into the Glen Lake Executive Director role on Dec. 1 and is looking forward to the opportunity of leading the Glen Lake team as they advance their strategic and ministry plans.
"I'm excited that the staff and board have already done so much important work!" exclaimed Maria. "They have a strong sense of the ministry and strengths of Glenlake, and they are moving forward. They also know what they need, and what is not their strength. I think my gifts, skills and experiences can help them build up those places. There is a very strong foundation to build on and that is exciting!"
Maria Shupe, who is passionate about camp & retreat ministry, faith formation and young adult ministry believes that the friendships, experiences, perspectives and deep relationships built at camp plant the seeds that grow into the courage to change the world.
Maria was selected by the Glen Lake search committee comprised of Betsy Spencer, chair of the Glen Lake Board of Directors, Randy Bell, member of the GLC Board, and Jeff Roper, executive director of the Roberts Center for Leadership and Administration. The committee worked with the nationally recognized camp consulting & recruitment firm Kaleidoscope Inc. and reviewed applications from across the country. The Glen Lake lead staff were also instrumental in the interview and decision to add Maria to the Glen Lake team.
"We are so very thankful for the prayers during our search, for the interest in how we are going to move forward, and in Natalie's leadership," commented Board Chair Betsy Spencer. "Natalie has left a real footprint at GLC and her leadership and gifts will be felt her for a very long time. Maria is also a very gifted leader we are excited to see how she complements the already excellent team at Glen Lake Camp."
"Natalie has done tremendous work in her time as Executive Director at Glen Lake Camp and there are simply no words to adequately thank her for her service and dedication," stated Jeff Roper, executive director, Roberts Center for Leadership and Administration. "She has built a great team, navigated the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic with aplomb and has positioned Glen Lake for much success going forward."
"Maria brings a great deal of Christian camping knowledge and experience as well as a wealth of fund development resources," Jeff continued. "She will assist in the development of a strategy for long-term fund connections and help complete and advance the five-year strategic plan begun by Natalie and the board three years ago. We are all excited to see what she and the GLC team will bring forth going forward."
Natalie will work with Maria for the next six to eight weeks and help the GLC lead staff transition to Maria's leadership according to Betsy. "Natalie has graciously agreed to help us in this transition and smooth transfer."
Maria loves being outside and is eager to get to know the people and campers of the Central Texas Conference and build upon the excellent foundation already in place at Glen Lake Camp.
Maria's call to ministry is in Christian Education and she has a passion for thinking about and working on faith formation with people of all ages. She also believes that camp and retreat ministry provide unique opportunities to live out our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. "I believe that we make disciples and transform the world one person at a time through deep relationships and experiences together," claimed Maria. "Whether it is young adult staff who are giving their all for a summer or a young person who is trying something new and challenging, time at Glen Lake Camp provides life changing opportunities for faith formation, new friendships, new experiences, new perspectives and time to reflect on all of these. These opportunities plant the seeds the grow into the courage to change the world."
Beyond her excitement about joining the Glen Lake Camp family, Maria is also looking forward to moving back to Texas, learning more about the ins and outs of The United Methodist Church and, especially, getting to know the people of the Central Texas Conference. "I have lived in Texas two other times of my life (age 9-15 in Houston and when she served at Mo Ranch in the Texas Hill Country), and with my son and daughter-in-law living in Flower Mound and friends throughout the state, I feel like I am moving home," Maria remarked. "Also, I'm not a United Methodist, and I didn't grow up at Glenlake, so I have a lot I get to learn, and I look forward to hearing stories about Glen Lake Camp from the people of the conference and why it is so important to them."
"I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to see where God is leading all of us!"
Please join the Central Texas Conference and Glen Lake board and staff in welcoming Maria to Glen Lake Camp and in praying for her and her ministry.
Maria Shupe is a Certified Christian Educator and elder in the Presbyterian Church USA. She has served in local churches for more than 17 years, as Director of Christian Education. From 2005 to 2021, Maria served as the Executive Director of Highlands Presbyterian Camp and Retreat Center in Allenspark, Colo.
Maria is a graduate of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary with an undergraduate degree in Developmental Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. Her ministry has been committed to developing educational ministries that provide opportunities for God's children (of all ages) to grow up in Christ. She loves camp and conference ministry because it provides a unique setting for God's people to live in community and grow in faith.
Maria has a son and daughter-in-law who live in Flower Mound, Texas. Her son makes people and things fly for live movies and live performances. (Think Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Pink for their stadium tours). Maria enjoys reading, cooking and being outdoors. She particularly loves to swim and is excited to live somewhere where she can swim outside a lot! She has six brothers (and a sister) which she says prepared her for a lot of things in life!

Hearing impedance is affected by damage, disorder, or maturity. Regardless of in the event that you need to spend cash on a huge piece like an advanced ear help there is an insufficiency of want in genuinely separating with the cash. Thus, it isn't uncommon for people to discover decreased evaluated ear help charges when the necessity to get a crisp computerized ear help is basic. Indeed, even so it's not continually the best choice to discover ear gear costs which can be spending inviting as the least expensive alternative probably won't be fit or sound for capacity.
Check around to find all the more with respect to hearing guide rates is the best proposal.
Maybe the most ideal approach to reveal more information on sound-related guide charges might be to solicit. You have to find a close-by sound-related gear retailer who will give you a no cost hearing appraisal and help with suitable sound-related aids for your necessities and hearing issues. Regularly consider all hearing guide arrangements, consider the unmistakable models and makes of electronic hearing aids.
Non reusable secluded hearing device are the most minimal evaluated sound-related aids realistic and are at some point publicized for just £100. These are surely not worked to coordinate an individual ear, and will seem more expensive than an 'appropriate' advanced sound-related guide because of the need to routinely supplant it. They are for no reason fit to different kinds and scopes of hearing debilitation, nor will they give any unwinding to the sound-related gadget wearer in light of its measured generation.
Advanced ear aids have completely changed the sound-related guide commercial center and give awesome favorable circumstances nutresin the hearing guide client, for example, sound filtration, directional receivers, breeze sound concealment and hostile to input innovation. Investigating an electronic ear help out of the blue, chat with a specialist ear treatment store and ask relating to the level of upkeep introduced and whether it's incorporated inside the cost of the ear help. Locate the hearing gadget that is directly for you, and furthermore directly for your financial plan.

There really hadn't been any rumors or mumblings over this being the final season and we weren't prepared for the news. Many fans and even cast members were blind sided and extremely unhappy with the news that the show would not be renewed for season five. I worked at a radio station a few years ago that brought Miranda and Blake in for a New Year's Eve concert. I don`t really have an expensive taste, so would you buy me something on christmas and my bday?
I also saw how amazing she is with her fans and how she took time with each and every single one she came in contact with.
They have a new album coming out soon and they are currently back out on the road (with baby) in support of their new album. The entertainment company tweeted that they are "working hard to find a new home" for Nashville. We had a bunch of station beach balls that we were planning to toss out during Blake's performance. However, Miranda made it very clear to us that there were to be no beach balls in the crowd during either performance. People were there to see her and Blake and she did not want them distracted by bouncing beach balls!

The Working Forest - Your #1 source for forestry and forest industry news.
OPINION: May the forest be with you
By: Chronicle Herald
Wake up Nova Scotia. It matters little that well over 2,000 of you stepped forward in good faith a few years back, believing your input was valued in establishing a sustainable forestry plan for your province.
Turns out the resulting 600 written submissions, submitted in large measure from your hard work, were mostly all for naught.
Natural Resources Minister Lloyd Hines wrote a letter to the Chronicle Herald on Sept. 7, defending his department's recent decision to abandon The Path We Share: A Natural Resources Strategy for Nova Scotia 2011-2020 (the one many of you contributed to), choosing instead to maintain the status quo in regard to clear cutting and other questionable harvesting practices.
"Nova Scotians asked for a change in the way we manage Crown land," wrote Hines, "and that we base decisions on science that takes into account all aspects of forests. We are delivering on this and providing transparency and accountability in decision-making."
Really? This is the change Nova Scotians asked for?
Hines told CBC Nova Scotia on Sept. 15 that "clearcutting is a recognized technique that is used throughout any place where there's forest to harvest fibre." Apparently he "doesn't believe the amount of clear cutting happening now poses an environmental threat," reports the CBC.
Time to get on with it, then. Warm up the harvesters and tree-farmers and porters and feller-bunchers. Find those last vestiges of uncut standing timber. Go where no man has gone in recent memory – to the very boundary lines of Kejimkujik National Park and 16 provincially mandated protected wilderness areas. Sarcastic, but sadly true.
In response to DNR's latest science-based approach to forest management, Jonathan Riley of the Digby Courier writes that "Chris Miller, the national conservation biologist with Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), thinks this the wrong direction for the province to be headed."
"Clearcutting right up to a protected area boundary will shove those impacts into the protected area itself," says Miller. "The damage doesn't stop at the border. The concept of edge-effect is well known and the solution is to buffer your protected areas against that type of heavy industrial footprint."
With wood at a premium, don't count on the harvesters stopping at the wilderness boundaries. Any excuse will do. An example could well be the predicted return of the spruce budworm, which Hines ominously warns the province is prepared to combat using "drastic measures".
What those are he won't say, but assure us it will be based on consultations with "various stakeholders" — aka industry representatives.
The majority of us are not professional foresters or scientists, but neither are we fools. We understand more than what bureaucrats and industry lobbyists give us credit for.
Take, for example, when DNR associate deputy minister Allan Eddy says, "The challenge is that quality hardwood does not make up a large percentage of our Nova Scotia forests."
Well, it did at one time and could again if allowed to grow, rather than being killed by spraying and burned under the guise of green energy.
So what to do? Well, there are some options.
Stay the course. Keep issues to the fore by writing investigative exposes, letters to the editor and opinion pieces, calling in to talk shows and posting on websites. The more of this the better, but unfortunately, those in key government positions don't care what you and I think or say.
So go to the top. Contact Premier Stephen McNeil directly. Write, e-mail, text, phone, request a face-to-face meeting. Tell the premier what you think about the state of the province's forests and of those in charge of managing them. And don't let your local representatives off the hook. Continually remind them who holds their political fate at the ballot box.
We might do well to subscribe to the philosophy of Jane Goodall. "My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature. And can I do that alone? No. So there is a whole army of youth that can do it. So I suppose my mission is to reach as many of those young people as I can through my own efforts."
Perhaps that's the answer, then. Hope and pray for another Stella Bowes to step to the fore, she being the 12-year-old girl from Bridgewater who made national news by taking various levels of government to task in her successful campaign to clean up the La Have River of sewage.
With all due respect to Bob Bancroft's insightfully crafted article in this paper on March 5, "Give our forests back to the people", industry and bureaucrats are not going to give the people of Nova Scotia anything.
Freelance journalist Ralph Surette, an outspoken critic of DNR for years, explains why this is so in a March 9, 2015, article in this newspaper, Split DNR and put its agenda through the chipper .
"Wearily, let me say this for the umpteenth time," wrote Surette. "In practice, DNR is not a department of government but of the pulp and lumber industry. It's been that way since the 1960s. DNR ministers arrive knowing nothing and end up as messengers for the established powers …
"The nub is that DNR is in a conflict of interest — it both regulates and promotes the industry."
Nova Scotians agree with Hines when he says, "People should know how government is managing public lands." That's why he should address the following concerns, minus the rhetoric and talking points.
•Show us the science that explains why clear cutting overwhelmingly trumps selective cutting in this province.
•Show us the science that favours single species softwood plantations over mixed forests for wildlife habitat.
•Show us the science behind whole tree harvesting and how it benefits soil nutrition.
•Show us the science for cutting down forests to burn for green energy.
•Show us the science that explains how leaving a postage-stamp patch of trees (to blow down later) in an expanse of flattened, cut-over wind-swept barren land promotes natural regeneration or serves as shelter for a myriad of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects.
•Show us the science behind DNR's "ecosystem-based forest management" that says clearcutting and spraying hundreds of acres of forest and subsequent protective canopy does not contribute to soil erosion, water run-off, dead fish and the demise of valuable shade tolerant vegetation.
•Show us the science-based rationale for dropping Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification — considered the "gold standard for environmental certification systems for forestry operations" by the previous DNR minister — choosing instead the much weaker Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
•Explain to us — without invoking the sovereign rights argument again — why government cannot or will not regulate clear cutting on private land holdings.
Let's have a public debate. Produce the science. Produce hard job numbers proving changes in current forestry practices will unleash an apocalyptic economic meltdown.
Obviously no one in government is going to volunteer for any of this. But as Silver Donald Cameron has written, we can use the law.
Cameron explains how "unborn generations actually have legal rights, and that today's generation has an obligation to preserve the natural world reasonably intact for its successors. That principle of "intergenerational equity" is now known as "The Oposa Doctrine" — and it's been applied all around the world."
The only way to take back our forests short of storming the Bastille is for the people of Nova Scotia to step up, coalesce and initiate a lawsuit against the provincial government for the sake of "our children and our children's, children's children."
To date, more than 29,000 people have signed an on-line petition to "stop destroying Nova Scotia's forests for biomass power generation." But it continues. The vast majority of Nova Scotians have expressed displeasure with the rate of clear cutting in opinion polls. Again nothing has changed.
Government is listening, but not to the people. The time for actions to speak louder than words is now.
How much do your forests mean to you Nova Scotia? As that iconic sage Red Green so often put it, "We're all in this together. I'm pullin' for ya."

Sen. Graham filibusters SMS name change bill into the night.
By: Ben Welsh
JEFFERSON CITY - There was no love lost in the Missouri Senate this Valentine's Day.
The long-awaited debate over changing the name of Southwest Missouri State University to Missouri State University stretched late into the night Monday. Columbia Sen. Chuck Graham and other Democrats stalled a vote by holding the floor with an extended filibuster.
Graham, whose district includes the home of the University of Missouri System, argues that Southwest doesn't deserve the new name. He and other critics say it would lead to demands for more funding.
Supporters of the change, a group which includes Gov. Matt Blunt, a Springfield native, say the school is ready for the step up.
"We firmly believe that we are a state university in every sense of the word," said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Norma Champion (R-Springfield). She said the new name would help Southwest attract out of state students.
*Graham entered the chamber for the afternoon session with a large stack of books and said he was ready to do whatever he had to do to prevent a vote.
He said he remained open to compromise and complained that none had been offered.
"I have not been contacted by Sen. Champion," Graham said. "She's just trying to ram this down my throat and that's not what we're about in the Senate."
*Graham's fellow Democrats did most of the work early on. St. Louis Senators Tim Green, Maida Coleman -- herself a cosponsor of the name change bill -- Rita Days and Joan Bray held up proceedings by debating a series of amendments. They filled the time by complaining about the cuts to social services, like Medicaid, proposed in Blunt's budget.
*Graham did not take the floor to begin his filibuster until after nine. While the St. Louis Senators froze action on the floor, he spent much of his time behind closed doors in his office.
*Republicans hold 22 of the 32 Senate seats. It only takes 18 votes to override a filibuster and force a vote. By not voting to cut off debate, they allowed floor action to continue on through the night. As of press time no resolution had been reached.
*"It could go until the morning light," said Sen. Dan Clemens, (R-Marshfield).
*The bill, SB 98, would rename a number of state universities and colleges. Besides reforging Southwest as Missouri State, it would grant the title of university to Missouri Western State College and Harris-Stowe State College. Joplin would be dropped from Missouri Southern State-Joplin's name.
This is the second straight year the name change has been filibustered on the Senate floor. Last year, former Columbia Sen. Ken Jacob held up proceedings before the measure ultimately passed. The bill, however, died in the House.
A filibuster is when a legislator delays proceedings by delivering an extended speech. In the past, senators have resorted to reading from the telephone book to pass time.

Each year, I share an idea or two for inexpensive homemade gifts that creative folks (writers!) can make for loved ones for the holidays. Last year's article brought in lots of great ideas from readers! You can see links to those at the end of this article.
Has one of your friends or a relative moved into a new home this year? Take a snapshot of the home and then recreate it with a simple felt quilt that looks like their home. Start with one piece of plain felt for the background and start cutting out pieces to build on top of it, building from the farthest thing in the photograph to the closest. Don't worry about shadows and small details. Simple primary colors in bold shapes will work just fine.
I used a piece of 8.5 x 11 light blue felt for the sky background and then cut out basic oval and bumpy shapes for trees and shrubs and square, rectangle, and triangle pieces for the actual house. You can cut out shapes in brown for the roof, red for brick or another color for siding or paint, gray or white for the windows, etc. On the one I just finished, I tucked batting under each piece of felt before sewing it to make it have a 3-D effect. It turned out really cute, much better than I expected.
You can buy small sheets of felt for about 20 cents each at your local discount department store's craft section or your local craft store. If you start with an 8 x 10 or 8.5 x 11 piece and build on top of that, you'll be able to easily find an inexpensive frame. (You can usually buy these standard-sized frames at The Dollar Store.) But, if you stuff too much batting under the pieces while sewing, you might have to discard the glass and use only the outer frame. My quilted felt house was too fat for the frame, but it actually looks kind of interesting poking out of the frame with no glass in front.
I got this idea when I ran into a huge display of scrapbook supplies at the local craft store. They sell themed packages of items for scrapbook pages and you can find them to complement just about anybody on your list. I found some Christmas-themed ones and one was a Santa suit with a little pack of presents. I printed a picture of Max at just the right size, cut his head out of the photo, and placed it in the little, bitty Santa suit. I then attached a string with needle and thread so it can be hung from a Christmas Tree. I made Ali putting an ornament on a tiny Christmas tree and I made Frank holding a pile of gifts (the gifts are from the scrapbooking kit and are made out of pretty paper and ribbons and even have tiny tags).

Thomas Blake (1597?–1657) was an English Puritan clergyman and controversialist of moderate Presbyterian sympathies. He worked in Tamworth, Staffordshire and in Shrewsbury, from which he was ejected over the Engagement controversy. He disputed in print with Richard Baxter over admission to baptism and the Lords Supper.

Background and education
Blake was a native of Staffordshire. He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, on 25 October 1616, aged nineteen, or perhaps in his nineteenth year. The uncertainty gives a birth date somewhere between 1596 and 1598. He proceeded to BA on 5 May 1620 and M. A. on 21 February 1623.

Early career in Tamworth

Wood wrote that after his degrees and ordination, Blake had "some petit employment in the church bestowed on him." William Lamont, a recent biographer of Blake makes clear this was in the Tamworth area, on the border between Staffordshire and Warwickshire. The Clergy of the Church of England database has entries showing his progress within the Church. He was ordained a priest well before he finished his university education by Thomas Morton, the Bishop of Lichfield on Christmas Eve, 1620, at Eccleshall, probably at Eccleshall Castle, an episcopal residence in Staffordshire. Although close to James VI and I, Morton was sympathetic to Puritan perspectives. It must also have been he who licensed Blake to preach on 3 August 1627, as he was still Bishop of Lichfield at that time. An entry in the 1639 Liber Cleri or record book of a canonical visitation under Bishop Robert Wright confirms that Blake was then the curate, generally at that time meaning the incumbent, of Tamworth with Glascote and Hopwas.

The Church of St Editha, Tamworth had been an important collegiate church in the Middle Ages but the college was abolished in the reign of Edward VI. The prebends and advowson were sold off by Elizabeth I in 1581. From 1583 patronage of the church and vicarage belonged to the Repington family. However, Elizabeth's charter of 1588 introduced inconsistencies, leading to disputes, by granting the right to appoint a preacher and two other ministers to the corporation of Tamworth, in their capacity as guardians of Tamworth Grammar School. The preacher was to receive an income of £20 per year and the other ministers £16: they were also allocated a house and garden in the town. Although the Repingtons and the corporation could not agree in principle, they accepted a working compromise by which the family appointed the vicar and the town the assistant ministers. John and Margaret Repington appointed Samuel Hodgkinson vicar of Tamworth in 1610 and he survived in post until 1629. It seems that Blake must have been the preacher appointed by the council, as his licence to preach dates from the period of Hodgkinson's incumbency as vicar. John Repington died in 1626 and was succeeded by a son and namesake, who appointed Blake vicar on 12 November 1629. The corporation also granted him the two curacies or assistant ministries, giving him complete control of the large parish. He took up residence in the old college house. However, Katherine Clifton, 2nd Baroness Clifton had long maintained a claim to the advowson and the old college property, based on rights that pre-dated the abolition of the college. She sold on her claim and it was bought around 1639 by William Comberford, a former High Sheriff of Staffordshire. On 4 May 1642 he served Blake with a process out of the Court of King's Bench for occupying the property without his permission. The case was to come to nothing in itself, although Blake and Comberford were soon on opposite sides in a wider conflict.

The Civil War and Commonwealth

First steps in controversy
The summer of 1642 brought the onset of the First English Civil War. Tamworth was soon under royalist occupation and was used a base for harassing parliamentarian forces during the fighting at Lichfield. It was taken by parliamentarians from Coventry under William Purefoy on 25 June 1643. In 1644 the town's garrison foiled a concerted royalist assault and it retained Tamwoth the end of the fighting, although until March 1646 it confronted a strong royalist garrison at Lichfield, with devastating consequences for the surrounding countryside. Blake was a strong supporter of parliament and it seems unlikely that he remained in Tamworth during the royalist occupation. His parish work must have been disrupted and it was during these years that he first made his mark as a controversialist. His published writings all focussed on the issue of infant baptism. In The Birth Priviledge, or, Covenant-Holinesse of Beleevers (1644) he defended the universal right to baptism against strict Calvinist exclusiveness, so long as the child's parents expressed visible penitence. Over the next two years he also published critiques of works by both Baptists and Presbyterians that upheld believer's baptism, including Two Treatises by John Tombes.

Appointment at Shrewsbury

Blake then moved to the church of St Alkmund (sometimes rendered Alkmond) in Shrewsbury, where the parliamentary committee had assumed power after overwhelming the royalist garrison on 21 February 1645. It is possible he was established at Shrewsbury in 1645, although the first confirmation came on 21 August 1646, when the corporation agreed to add £5 to his annual income. This corresponds well with the appointment of Ralph Hodges on 27 June 1646 as his replacement at Tamworth.

At the time of Blake's appointment Parliament's alliance with the Scottish Covenanters was still strong and it had decided that each county should plan and secure approval for a Presbyterian polity, in fulfilment of the Solemn League and Covenant, to which parliamentarian forces had subscribed in 1643. Shropshire was one of only eight counties that attempted to put such a scheme into practice. It is set out in a document dated 29 April 1647. This is entitled: The Severall Divisions and Persons for Classicall Presbyteries in the County of Salop and was issued over the signature of Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester. It envisaged six classical presbyteries, the first centred on Shrewsbury itself. Thomas Blake was third on its list of eight serving ministers. The ruling elders or lay leaders were headed by the mayor of Shrewsbury and Humphrey Mackworth, the town's governor. As the title "Saint" was now restricted to the Apostles, Blake's church was now named simply "Alkmonds".

In 1648 Blake signed the Solemn League and Covenant. He was one of 57 signatories to a document entitled A Testimony of the Ministers in the Province of Salop to the Truth of Jesus Christ and to the Solemn League and Covenant: as also against the Errors, Heresies and Blasphemies of these times and the Toleration of them. Prominent by its absence from the document was the name of another Shrewsbury clergyman, Thomas Paget, incumbent of St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury and governor Mackworth's parish minister. The Testimony was a broadside against Independency or Congregationalism – a show of strength by the Presbyterian clergy made necessary by the weakening of their political position. Presbyterianism had been fatally wounded by the Scottish Engager invasion in support of Charles I. By the end of 1648 Pride's Purge had removed moderate Presbyterians from the English House of Commons and cleared the way for the execution of the king.

The Engagement dispute
The divisions between the different strains of Puritanism led to conflict after Parliament in March 1650 imposed the Oath of Engagement: "I do declare and promise, that I will be true and faithful to the Commonwealth of England, as it is now established, without a King or House of Lords." This ran counter to the Covenant, which envisaged an established Presbyterian church headed by the monarch. In Shrewsbury Blake and Samuel Fisher of Mary's church preached against the Engagement, while Paget preached for it. As the controversy began to become more heated, there was an outbreak of bubonic plague, starting at Frankwell in June and spreading rapidly through the town. Lamont considers the plague the likely reason for Blake and Fisher's departure from Shrewsbury. However, Auden and Coulton agree with Brook in making the departure essentially a political expulsion. On 16 August the English Council of State wrote ordering Governor Mackworth "to turn out of his garrison all such persons as, either in the pulpit or elsewhere, by seditious words endeavour to stir up sedition and uproar among the people." On 23 August the Council wrote again, specifically naming Blake and Fisher and ordering Mackworth to arrest and "examine them as to their former and late offences." Fisher later wrote of their "continual expectation of arrest" during this period, when he and Blake were engaged in their pastoral office during the plague. They found refuge for a time at Myddle with its minister, Joshua Richardson, who allowed them to preach. The leading lay Puritan in the area was Robert Corbet of Stanwardine and his secretary, Richard Gough, later mentioned the visit in his famous Antiquities & Memoirs of the village.
The two chiefe and ablest Ministers in Shrewsbury, viz. Mr. Thomas Blake, Minister of St. Chads, and Mr. Fisher of St. Mary's removed to Myddle and dwelt both in Mr. Gittin's house att the higher well ; they preached often att Myddle. Mr. Fisher was a man of myddle stature and age, a fatt plump body, a round visage, and blacke haire. Mr. Blake was a tall spare man, his haire sandy browne; hee was somewhat aged a moderate, sober, grave, pious man; hee wrote a learned Treatise of the Covenants, wherein hee tooke some modest exceptions against some things mentioned by Mr. Baxter in his book of Justification.
Later they stayed for some months at West Felton with Samuel Hildersham, a puritan writer and son of Arthur Hildersham, and his wife Mary. The following year, back at Tamworth, Blake dedicated to them a new tract, Vindiciae foederis, or, A Treatise of the Covenant of God Entered with Mankind, thanking them for their "free and liberal entertainment" and the use of their library.

Return to Tamworth

Blake returned to his ministry in Tamworth. It is not clear exactly how this was achieved. However, it seems his successor, Ralph Hodges was occupying benefices in plurality, as he was appointed Rector of Birmingham on 29 June 1646, only two days after he took up the post at Tamworth. Blake's allies in Tamworth had probably changed little and Sir John Repington was to survive until 1662, so it seems it was possible to ease him back into position. He was then nominated one of the assistants to the commissioners of Staffordshire for the ejecting of scandalous ministers and schoolmasters.

From Tamworth Blake carried on his writing of argumentative theological works. His focus moved from baptism to admission to the Lord's Supper, where he advocated the most open and inclusive approach. This brought him into disputes with Richard Baxter, whose Aphorismes of Justification (1649) set the issue within an explication of Covenant theology, demanding that candidates for the Lord's Supper "might knowingly and seriously professe their consent, (and if they subscribed their names, it would be more solemly engaging) and this before they receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper." The controversy continued until Blake's death, although with a degree of courtesy on both sides, despite provocation from Giles Firmin, a disciple of Baxter.

Death
Blake was in good health when he made his will on 11 January 1656 but he died at Tamworth, and was interred in his own church on 11 June 1657. His funeral sermon was preached by Anthony Burgess of Sutton Coldfield and was published in 1658, along with an oration by Samuel Shaw, then schoolmaster at Tamworth. Blake left a widow, Jane, but no children. His estate was divided between Jane and his brother, John.

Works
The following are the chief works named by Alexander Balloch Grosart, based on a list in Anthony Wood's Athenae Oxonienses:
Birth Privilege, or the Right of Infants to Baptism, 1644.
Infant's Baptism freed from Antichristianisme. In a full Repulse given to Mr. Ch. Blackwood in his Assault of that Part of Christ's Possession which he holds in his Heritage of Infants, entitled "The Storming of Antichrist," 1645. Wood misnames Blackwood 'Charles' for 'Christopher.'
A Moderate Answer to the Two Questions: (1) Whether there be sufficient Ground from Scripture to warrant the Conscience of a Christian to present his Infants to the Sacrament of Baptism; (2) Whether it be not sinful for a Christian to receive the Sacrament in a Mixt Assembly, 1645.
An Answer to Mr. Tombes his Letter in Vindication of the Birth-privilege of Believers and their issue, 1646.
Testimony of the Ministers of Stafford to Solemn League, 1648.
Vindiciae Foederis, a Treatise of the Covenant of God with Mankind, 1653.
Infant Baptism maintain'd in its Latitude, 1653.
The Covenant Sealed, or a Treatise of the Sacrament of both Covenants, 1655.
Postscript to the Rev. and Learned Mr. Richard Baxter, 1655; answered by Richard Baxter.
Mr. Jo. Humphrey's Second Vindication of a Disciplinary Anti-erastian, Orthodox, Free Admission to the Lord's Supper, taken into consideration, 1656, supporting John Humfrey; and other pamphlets and occasional sermons.

Ebenezer, or Profitable Truths after Pestilential Times, 1666, which has been attributed to him, was not his, but by another Thomas Blake, who was ejected from East Hoadley, Sussex.

The Ancient Wisdom of Harry Potter
Published: Friday, 25 March 2011 02:49
Prof. Abditus Questor
Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
PLOT SUMMARY: Harry reaches his seventeenth birthday, the age at which wizards come of age and after which his mother's magic can no longer protect him in the Dursley's home, so he leaves for a safe house of one of his fellow wizards. As he flies away, Voldemort attacks him, but Harry escapes. Ron, Hermione, and Harry get bequests from Dumbledore's will: respectively, a deluminator (which turns lights off and on), a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and the snitch Harry caught in his first Quidditch game. Voldemort takes over the Ministry of Magic, destroying the protection of the safe house, so the three friends have to flee. They hunt for the missing Horcruxes, which must be destroyed before Voldemort can be defeated. They find one, the Slytherin locket, but have no way to destroy it, so they take it with them on their search for the others. The locket, however, affects their moods, and Ron deserts Harry and Hermione, who continue their search until Harry discovers the sword of Gryffindor at the bottom of a lake, and Ron (guided by the deluminator) returns to help Harry retrieve it and uses it to destroy the locket. In Hermione's copy of the Tales, they find the story of three brothers who won from Death the three Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, most powerful of all wizard wands; the Resurrection Stone, which can summon the spirits of the dead; and the Cloak of Invisibility, the cloak Harry's father left him. The three are captured by Voldemort's men but escape after Harry has disarmed Draco Malfoy of his wand. Then Voldemort, having learned that the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's tomb, retrieves it. The three companions steal another of the Horcruxes, the Hufflepuff cup, from Gringott's bank, and Hermione destroys it with a basilisk fang. They return to Hogwarts and retrieve another Horcrux, the Ravenclaw diadem, which is destroyed accidentally by Draco's companion Crabbe with a magical fire spell. Harry learns that he himself if a Horcrux and goes to face Voldemort, accompanied by the spirits of his parents and teachers whom he invokes with the Resurrection Stone, which was hidden inside the snitch Dumbledore left him. Voldemort cannot kill Harry because he used Harry's blood for his own resurrection, but Voldemort does kill the fragment of his soul inside Harry, thus freeing Harry from being a Horcrux. In the following battle at Hogwarts, Nevil Longbottom slays the serpent Nagini with the Gryffindor sword, thus destroying the last Horcrux and removing Voldemort's remaining protection. Voldemort tries to kill Harry with the Elder Wand, but Harry is its proper owner now because its ownership had passed from Dumbledore to Draco, when Draco disarmed the headmaster in the tower, and from Draco to Harry, when Harry disarmed Draco. Voldemort's killing curse rebounds on himself, and he dies from his own magic. Nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny have married and have three children. Ron and Hermione have married and have two children. They have all gathered on the platform for the Hogwarts Express train to see their school-aged children off to Hogwarts.
QUEST: The final book of the Harry Potter series sees Harry on three separate, but interrelated, quests. (1) Harry's quest for self-discovery overarches all others and is the unifying quest of the entire series; it began in book 1, with Harry's discovery that he is in fact a wizard, and reaches its culmination at the end of book 7, when Harry has discovered who he essentially is, as both a wizard and a human being. (2) More specific is the quest to destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes, a quest that actually began in book 2, when Harry stabbed Tom Riddle's diary with the tusk of a basilisk, but became specific in book six, when Dumbledore destroyed the Horcrux of the Gaunt family ring and went with Harry in search of the Slytherin locket. The remaining five Horcruxes (locket, cup, diadem, Nagini, and Harry) had to be found and destroyed or purged in this last book. (3) The third quest is reflected in the title of the book: to find the missing Deathly Hallows, magical objects of immense power, whose joint possession is said to make their possessor the "master of Death." Harry has had the third of the Hallows, the Cloak of Invisibility, since his first year at Hogwarts; but he must still find the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand. The three quests are interrelated because Harry has to find the missing Horcruxes to fulfill his destiny as "the Chosen One" who can overcome Voldemort, and he discovers, through the Deathly Hallows, his own family origins, which go back to the creation of the Deathly Hallows, he being a direct descendant of Ignotus Peverell, the youngest of three brothers who were the prototypes of the three brothers in The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
The climax of Harry's quest for self-discovery in book 7 is a double one: Harry's two face-to-face combat encounters with Voldemort, the first in the Forbidden Forest and the second in Hogwarts Great Hall. Harry goes to the first encounter believing that he is going to die and reconciled to that fate as part of a plan he does not understand for controlling Voldemort. In stark contrast, Harry goes to the second encounter knowing that he will be victorious because he then understands the entire situation and his own part in it. Both encounters are necessary, but they are strikingly different in expectation and in feeling. The first combat has overtones of Christ's Way of the Cross to Golgotha, of self-abnegation and surrender to circumstances one does not understand. The second combat is utterly different, being the confident march to battle of the epic hero who has taken the full measure of his opponent and knows that his triumph is assured.
In ending the cycle, J. K. Rowling had a problem, which she resolved with the double climax. The climax had to be a confrontation between Harry and Voldemort. In that confrontation, Voldemort had to die and Harry had to live. But Voldemort cannot die as long as any of the Horcruxes still exist. And Harry is a Horcrux. Harry can hardly destroy the fragment of Voldemort's soul inside himself; and he must not actually kill Voldemort, for Harry has never killed anyone and must not—he represents life, the antithesis of killing.
Rowling solved the problem with the two confrontations, and by making Voldemort responsible both for destroying his own soul fragment in Harry and for killing himself. Those two events could hardly happen at the same time, so two confrontations were needed. The double confrontation is a sort of shell game or thimblerig, in which the reader thinks the first confrontation is the final climax, though it is not. Yet the first confrontation is actually the more important of the two, for in it Harry makes the choice that defines his whole life. And he makes it without regard for the consequences he foresees that choice as having on himself. Harry's action in the first confrontation is what the Gita calls nishkama karma (action without desire for personal benefit), what the Tao Te Ching calls wu wei (doing nothing, in the sense of not acting for self), and what our contemporary culture calls "being in the zone" or "going with the flow" (not striving or opposing but becoming one with the action and doing what is to be done).
First confrontation: Voldemort announces that he is giving Harry one hour to meet him in the Forbidden Forest. If Harry does not come, Voldemort will personally lead an assault on Hogwarts and kill everyone there. Harry has learned from Severus Snape's memory that he himself is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Although Dumbledore did not actually use the term "Horcrux" in his exchange with Snape, that was clearly what he was saying, and Harry, as a bright lad, understands: "[Dumbledore:] 'And while that fragment of soul, unmissed by Voldemort, remains attached to and protected by Harry, Lord Voldemort cannot die.' Harry seemed to be watching the two men from one end of a long tunnel, they were so far away from him, their voices echoing strangely in his ears. 'So the boy . . . the boy must die?' asked Snape quite calmly. 'And Voldemort himself must do it, Severus. That is essential. . . . If I know [Harry], he will have arranged matters so that when he does set out to meet his death, it will truly mean the end of Voldemort'." (pp. 686-7)
Because Harry has confidence in Dumbledore, he believes that what the headmaster foresaw—although daunting for him personally—is necessary for the general good. Harry must sacrifice himself for others: "Finally the truth. . . . Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive. His job was to walk calmly into Death's welcoming arms. . . . He envied even his parents' deaths now. This cold-blooded walk to his own destruction would require a different kind of bravery. . . . And Dumbledore had known that Harry would not duck out . . . that Harry would not let anyone else die for him now that he had discovered it was in his power to stop it." (pp. 691-3)
Harry cannot let Voldemort destroy Hogwarts and kill all of those inside it who have been defending him, nor can he let Voldemort continue to ravage the world, so Harry must go into the Forbidden Forest, though he knows he cannot kill Voldemort because both he and Nagini are Horcruxes, and Voldemort cannot be killed as long as any Horcrux exists. On his way to Forest, Harry meets Neville and asks him to kill Nagini if others fail, thus fulfilling Dumbledore's knowledge of how Harry would arrange matters: "This was crucial, he must be like Dumbledore, keep a cool head, make sure there were backups, others to carry on." (p. 696)
So Harry goes, as he believes, to his death, as a sacrifice to spare the many who would otherwise die; and he can only trust that someone else will follow him and kill Voldemort later. As he enters the Forest, Harry uses the Resurrection Stone to evoke four spirits to accompany him: his parents, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. But when Harry confronts Voldemort, he does so alone, unarmed, and unresisting. He is a Christ, a Bodhisattva, giving himself up for the welfare of the world.
Voldemort sends a Killing Curse on Harry. As a result of that curse, both Harry and Voldemort fall unconscious in the Forest. But Harry finds himself in a half-way world, a sort of staging place for "going on," a threshold of the Astral Plane. In that half-way world is also a miserable, agonizing, flayed child, which Harry both fears and wants to comfort, although he is repulsed by it. Dumbledore appears and tell Harry, "You cannot help." Harry asks what the child is, and Dumbledore replies, "Something that is beyond either of our help." Gradually Harry realizes that the miserable child is all that remains of Voldemort's soul after he has repeatedly fragmented it in the vain effort to ensure his mortal continuation.
While their bodies are unconscious in the Forbidden Forest, Harry's and Voldemort's souls are both in the half-way world, in the condition they will be in after the actual deaths of their bodies. The headmaster goes on to tell Harry many things about Dumbledore himself and about Harry. The Killing Curse that Voldemort had used in Godric's Hollow in an attempt to slay the infant Harry put the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. It also apparently opened a way for a torn fragment of Voldemort's soul to lodge within Harry's soul, but it did not destroy Harry's infant body, which was protected by the enchantment placed in Harry's blood by his mother's sacrifice.
The Killing Curse in the Forbidden Forest still could not destroy Harry because of his mother's enchantment, but it did destroy the fragment of Voldemort's soul in Harry, which was not protected, thus making Harry no longer a Horcrux. The curse also again rebounded on Voldemort, but this time it could not destroy his body, because Voldemort's body had in it some of Harry's blood. Harry's enchanted blood, even in Voldemort's body, was a protection for both of them. However, the curse drove both of their souls into the half-way world. Harry and Voldemort have a double connection: Voldemort's soul fragment in Harry and Harry's blood in Voldemort. Thus, just as their wands were connected, so are they, and they unknowingly influence each other.
In the half-way world, Dumbledore says that Harry is not really dead, but has a choice: he can go "on" (that is, actually die to the world and continue the after-death journey), or he can go back and fight Voldemort. After talking with Dumbledore, Harry elects to return from the half-way world to fulfill his destiny with Voldemort, and he becomes conscious again in his body on the ground of the Forbidden Forest. Voldemort's miserable child-soul returns to his body at the same time as Harry does because of the linkage between them. They both simultaneously recover consciousness in the Forest. Voldemort takes what he thinks is Harry's dead body back to Hogwarts to display it to Harry's supporters there.
Second confrontation: Neville Longbottom encounters Voldemort and the serpent with Harry's body on their way to Hogwarts. Voldemort summons the Sorting Hat, which he puts on Neville's head and sets it afire. But Neville draws the Gryffindor sword out of the hat and uses it to slay the serpent. Nagini having been killed and Harry having been de-Horcruxed in the Forest, Voldemort's life is no longer protected. Harry, now transformed by his near-death experience, knowledgeable, and confident of his mission, faces Voldemort, whom he now calls by his proper name—Tom Riddle—in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. They have a long circling preliminary, in which Harry tells Riddle (and all others in the Hall) the truth about all that has happened. Harry repeatedly urges Riddle to try for some remorse because of what will otherwise happen to him on the other side when he dies, what is left of his soul being now only that pitiful, agonizing child.
Neither Harry nor anyone else can directly help the Riddle-baby soul. Only Riddle himself can. Traditionally, recovery from the consequences of evil action (or sin) requires remorse that leads to a firm purpose of amendment (a determination not to repeat the evil), then to confession (acknowledgment of the wrong done) and also to satisfaction and restitution (bearing the consequences and repairing the harm done). Only Riddle can begin that process of recovery by experiencing remorse; no one else can do it for him.
Harry also explains why the Elder Wand will not help Riddle because Riddle has never been its master. The history of the mastership of the Elder Wand is complex, but the Wand's mastership passed from Dumbledore to Draco Malfoy when Draco disarmed Dumbledore atop the tower, then to Harry when Harry disarmed Draco. All wands are empowered with a life of their own, but the Elder Wand is so empowered even more than other wands. One wizard need not actually take the Elder Wand from another to become its master. It is necessary only that one wizard defeat the true owner of the Elder Wand. Part of the wand's magic is that it has only one true owner at a time, and it knows who that owner is. Harry was talking generally with Ollivander about wands and ownership of wands: "'You talk about wands like they've got feelings,' said Harry, 'like they can think for themselves.' 'The wand chooses the wizard,' said Ollivander. 'That much has always been clear to those of us who have studied wandlore. . . . The best results, however, must always come where there is the strongest affinity between wizard and wand. These connections are complex. An initial attraction, and then a mutual quest for experience, the wand learning from the wizard, the wizard from the wand'." (pp. 493-4)
Thus, when Harry was fleeing from Privet Place on the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Volemort attacked him with Lucius Malfoy's wand, which he was using because he knew that his own wand was powerless against Harry's, which was its twin. The intense pain from Harry's scar blinded him so he could not defend himself. But Harry's wand acted on its own, with a spell Harry did not even know, and snapped Lucius's wand: "As the pain from Harry's scar forced his eyes shut, his wand acted of its own accord. He felt it drag his hand around like some great magnet, saw a spurt of golden fire through his half-closed eyelids, heard a crack and a scream of fury." (p.61)
Wands are alive and have wills of their own, so in an emergency they can act on behalf of their wizard master, particularly when a strong connection has been established. The Elder Wand, being the most powerful of all wands, is especially willful; it simply will not accept a loser as its master. Thus if its true owner is defeated by anyone else, that former owner has lost the allegiance of the Elder Wand, which transfers its loyalty to the victor over its former owner. It does not have to pass physically into the hands of the victor. It just knows who its true owner is. So the Elder Wand's loyalty went from Dumbledore to Draco, without Draco's ever being aware of that fact. Draco had caught Dumbledore off guard atop the Tower and disarmed him while Harry was under his Cloak of Invisibility. To protect Harry, Dumbledore had put a Freezing Charm on him, and Harry "saw Dumbledore's wand flying in an arc over the edge of the ramparts and understood. . . . Dumbledore had wordlessly immobilized Harry, and the second he had taken to perform the spell had cost him the chance of defending himself." (Half-Blood Prince, p. 584)
It is not clear whether the wand that Draco Expelliarmus-ed out of Dumbledore's hand was the Elder Wand or another. But it makes no difference, just as none of the three wands Harry wrested from Draco's grip [Bellatrix's, Wormtail's, and Draco's, pp. 473-4] was the Elder Wand. What matters is not that one wizard physically seizes the Elder Wand from another, but rather that one wizard masters another in some fashion. Harry did not know when he overpowered Draco that, by doing so, he had won the Elder Wand. People don't have to know. The Wand knows.
Thus when Harry meets Riddle/Voldemort in Hogwarts Great Hall for their final confrontation, he is by then the true master of the Elder Wand, and he knows it. Harry and Riddle both utter spells at the same time—Riddle's is a Killing Curse, and Harry's is a Disarming Spell (which he has repeatedly used against Death Eaters instead of killing them). The two spells meet in the center between the two combatants. Harry's is the stronger because he is in fact the greater Wizard. His spell disarms Riddle of the Elder Wand, which flies through the air and into the hands of its true master, Harry. Riddle's spell rebounds back onto Riddle and kills him because his soul is no longer protected by any Horcruxes. Only Riddle's dead body remains. What is left of his soul is in the half-way world, with an uncertain future.
Epilogue: And so the second confrontation ends. Evil has destroyed itself. Goodness survives. The world can return to normal. And so it does, as we learn in the Epilogue, "Nineteen Years Later." As Robert Ellwood has pointed out, the ending of the Harry Potter cycle is not apocalyptic like that of Lord of the Rings: "Rowling's real point is that good and evil are mixed up in this world, and after one manifestation of the latter is defeated, life still goes on. As a Zen master said, in effect, Even after enlightenment, you still have to do the laundry. The Tolkienesque cosmic battle between absolute good and evil, with absolute victory of good in the end, can be inspiring when we're in a tight spot, if kept properly at the level of archetypal myth, but as so many examples have shown, can itself produce great evil if superimposed concretely on this mixed-up world, and we divide real people into saviors and orcs." (personal communication)
As Ellwood has observed, Harry Potter is a postmodern, realistic fantasy. All of its good characters are flawed, but they recognize their flaws and deal with them. After the climax of the story, the world does not end, nor is it utterly transformed. It is only saved from one great evil and continues, much like the world of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata. The laundry must still be done. The next generation must still be loved and schooled. The past must be remembered; but life, as the Epilogue promises us, goes on. Harry's touching relationship with his younger son, Albus Severus Potter, whose eyes are those of his grandmother, Lily, shows life going on. The Harry Potter cycle ends, with neither a bang nor a whimper, but with a promise. That promise is expressed in the final words of the book and the series: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
Those final words, "All was well," echo St. Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century mystic who lived most of her life sequestered in a cell next to a church. At the age of thirty, she had had a grave illness, during which she had visions of Jesus, which she wrote down on recovering and spent the rest of her life contemplating. Of one of her visions, she wrote: "He shewed me a little thing, the quantity of an hazelnut, in the palm of my hand; and it was as round as a ball. I looked thereupon with eye of my understanding, and thought: What may this be? And it was answered generally thus: It is all that is made. I marveled how it might last, for methought it might suddenly have fallen to naught for little. And I was answered in my understanding: It lasteth, and ever shall for that God loveth it. And so All-thing hath the Being by the love of God."
During those visions, Julian also worried about the problem of evil. That is, if God is all-good, all-powerful, and all-loving, why does he permit evil, pain, and sin to exist in the world: why does he not prevent it? She asked Jesus about this, and Jesus answered her: "It behooved that there should be sin; but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well." That is, evil, pain, and sin have a place in the order of the world, where finally all things work for good. H. P. Blavatsky gave essentially the same answer to the question, although she phrased it differently. In an article on "The Origin of Evil" (Collected Writings 8:112), HPB wrote: "Buddha left us an example of fortitude to follow: in living, not in running away from life. His doctrine shows evil immanent, not in matter which is eternal, but in the illusions created by it: through the changes and transformations of matter generating life—because these changes are conditioned and such life is ephemeral. At the same time those evils are shown to be not only unavoidable, but necessary." According to Julian's Jesus, sin is behooved, which means "necessary, fit, or proper"; according to HPB's Buddha, evils are both unavoidable and necessary. The two statements say much the same thing.
St. Julian's comfortable words (to use a phrase from the Book of Common Prayer, meaning "words free from doubt, which comfort us") were quoted also by T. S. Eliot in "Little Gidding," the last part of his greatest poem, The Four Quartets: "And all shall be well and / All manner of thing shall be well / By the purification of the motive / In the ground of our beseeching." According to both St. Julian and Eliot, whatever ills and pain and evil we experience, everything will end well. The words are an assurance that, despite all problems, a divine intelligence we personify as "God" sustains the whole world, like a hazelnut in one's hands. Similarly, Blavatsky wrote of "the absolute necessity for some solution [to the problem of evil], which embraces the facts of existence on an optimistic basis" (CW 8:124). The Harry Potter cycle ends with an echo of the same thought: "All was well

How Spartak was born
In 1922, the Moscow Sports Club of the Krasnopresnensky District (MKS) was formed. On April 18, the MKS played its first friendly match, defeating the six-time champions of Moscow, the Zamoskvoretsky Sports Club, with a score of 3:2. This date is considered the birthday of our club. The backbone of the team was made up of players from the Sokolniki Football Club (KFS) and the Russian Gymnastic Society (RGO), in which Nikolai and Alexander Starostin began to play. The MKS was formed as a truly "brotherly" team: the Starostin brothers, the Artemiev brothers, the Kanunnikov brothers…
In November 2022, the Board of Directors of FC Spartak Moscow approved the creation of a committee of veterans of our club. Oleg Ivanovich Romantsev, the most titled coach in the history of the red-and-whites, became its chairman, and Nikita Pavlovich Simonyan, Spartak's best scorer in all the years of the team's performance, was elected honorary president.
The purpose of the committee is to preserve Spartak traditions and provide targeted assistance to the red and white of past generations, as well as their families.
On April 18, 2022, the club celebrated its centenary. The Spartak video was illuminated on the media facade of the Ostankino Tower. A postage stamp was presented at the stadium in Tushino with the participation of red and white legends Oleg Romantsev and Georgy Yartsev, as well as team captain Georgy Dzhikiya. It was released specifically for this significant event. A chronology of the main events of the age-old history of the red-and-whites year after year is in the "Results of the seasons" section.

Gilligan's Island is an American TV sitcom originally produced by United Artists Television. It aired for three seasons on the CBS network, from September 26, 1964 to September 4, 1967. It was originally sponsored by Philip Morris & Company and Procter & Gamble. The show followed the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive and ultimately escape from a previously uninhabited island where they were shipwrecked.
In 2002, Gilligan's Island came back as a reality show, similar to Survivor, where seven contestants were shipwrecked on an island. They then had to re-create the original Gilligan's Island sitcom with costumes and props. Gilligan's Island ran for a total of 98 episodes. The first season (consisting of 36 episodes) was filmed in black-and-white, though colorized in later syndication. However, the next two seasons (62 episodes) and three TV movie sequels were filmed in color. Enjoying solid ratings during its original run, the show grew in popularity during decades of syndication. Today, the title character of Gilligan is widely recognized as a comedic American popular culture icon.

I've searched far and wide for the answers to these problem I have but to no avail.
After installing either the version on the CD or the latest from the site I get the below message when I start the app.
AXTU does start up after this message but it shows only zeros almost everywhere.
My win is freshly installed, I don't OC at the moment, I tried 1.4 and 1.5 BIOS and 3 different AXTU versions.
For example If I set the target level to 1 and temp to 65C I get 1500RPM right after boot even with a 30C CPU. My fans range would be 600-2000. This is very annoying as I can't make a silent PC despite having a 35C idle CPU temp.
I've update the BIOS to this version hoping to overcome issues 1 and 2 but instead I turns out with this version I can't use the mouse in the BIOS.
Hope I gave enough details.
Please kindly provide your e-mail for me, I will send a BIOS to you for testing.
Hi Emily! Sent it to you in PM.
Is the new BIOS still under development or should I contact Asrock technical support directly for this?

Got the new BIOS (1.51A) from ASrock TSD in reply to the ticket I raised through the site but thought I'll post my findings here as well.
I've updated to this new BIOS, and it did lower the idle on the CPU fan so now it runs at 1200 instead of the 1500.
The chassis fan is runnig at same level though.
My idle CPU temp is still under 40C with the lowered CPU fan speed so there would be a lot of headroom to go even lower with the minimum speeds, but it's better already so thank you for this.
I'm writing so much about this cause I bought this mATX board to make a small HTPC for my living room. This is why low idle fans speeds would be crucial.
Also if your tests show that the fan speed control works correctly with other FAN manufacturers products then please send that as well.
It seems I'm having a very nice conversation with myself in this forum.
Does AXTU run without errors with the beta bios?
If yes, can you lower the chassis fan speed with AXTU?
You might want to buy a fan controller so that you can manually set fan speeds to lower the noise level.
Your Arctic Cooling fans should under-volt well, but some manual fan controllers don't provide low enough voltage adjusts for very quiet operation.
note: I've deleted your recent duplicate post in the No DDR3 2000 option available on 890GM Pro3 r2.0 with bulldozer CPU thread.
Unfortunately AXTU has never worked for me with this board. Even after a Win7 reinstall I get the same error message when I start AXTU as I posted in my first post.
But anyway the beta BIOS sort of lowered the idle speeds so I moved past this issue since then.
On the other hand the DDR3 2000 thread I opened is not a duplicate of this one but a whole new thing I experienced since I bought a FX8120 CPU so please don't close that one.
The duplicate post that I deleted related to your ASRock tech support post.
I left your ASRock tech support post question in the "Welcome to ASRock Tech Support thread".
