Located in the rolling green hills of southern Devon, Dartmoor National Park is one of Britain's most scenic and best preserved nature conservancies. Almost every bend in the road reveals a spectacular panorama of rocky outcrops, grass-covered moorlands, or deep, densely-forested valleys. It's not difficult to understand why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose Dartmoor as the backdrop to his legendary Sherlock Holmes story Hound of the Baskervilles.
In fact, Dartmoor, at an average elevation of over one thousand feet above sea level, even has its own unique climate. There can be bright sunlight one minute, and dense rolling fog with almost zero visibility the next-which is why road signs warning drivers about loose animals on the road are so plentiful.
But, just like those bleak, fogbound days, Dartmoor also has a darker side to it, one that you'd least expect to find in such a pastoral setting: its infamous prison.
Initially built in 1809 as a depot to hold French prisoners of war during Britain's conflict with Napoleon, it didn't take long for Dartmoor Prison to become synonymous with death, disease, and despair. It would also go on to serve another purpose-the relocation and confinement of Americans, mostly sailors, captured during the War of 1812. Britain found itself mired in two wars, one on each side of the Atlantic, and, as these conflicts dragged on, more and more prisoners arrived until it became a virtual flood. It wasn't long before the authorities were overwhelmed and, as a consequence, began to impose increasingly draconian punishments on inmates who flouted the rules. One of the worst was solitary confinement-usually for ten days and with reduced rations-in the notorious "Black Hole", a crude stone hut which had no light, heat, bedding, or windows, and from where many prisoners emerged with hypothermia, sometimes fatal. Nevertheless, even this did little to dissuade those determined to escape, particularly the Americans.
And there were ample reasons for wanting to flee. To say that living conditions for Dartmoor's inmates were nothing short of abominable would be an understatement. Even though freezing temperatures, gale force winds, and occasional deep snowfalls were the norm over the moors during winter months, there was no heating in the cell blocks. Most prisoners survived only by sleeping next to their neighbors and benefiting from each other's body warmth. Cell blocks originally built to house 500 prisoners on each floor sometimes held more than 650. Nor was it unusual for an inmate to wake up the next morning only to discover that the man next to him was no longer asleep, but a corpse. Suicides were also common.
To make matters even worse, food was in perpetual shortage and fish and meat often rotten. The quality of bread was so poor that many prisoners refused to eat it and went on collective hunger strikes in protest. Proper medical attention was scarce, hygiene virtually nonexistent. Infestations of bedbugs and lice were an everyday reality, made even worse by the fact that there were few, if any, opportunities for prisoners to wash their own clothing. Many wore used garments which had been bartered for with illegal liquor or tobacco, even gambling, or had previously belonged to a fellow inmate who had since died and had his body stripped within seconds of his last breath. Outbreaks of measles and even smallpox were a regular occurrence, all of which claimed hundreds of lives. Altogether around 1500 prisoners perished in Dartmoor between 1809 and 1815, mostly from disease. Those who died were buried outside the prison walls, either in cheap wooden coffins, or simply wrapped in a shroud, without mourners or even a religious ceremony. In the years which followed, their bones, exposed to weather and wild animals, began to emerge and litter the landscape. Finally, In 1866, the governor of the prison ordered them to be collected and divided into two heaps which were designated either French or American remains, and which were then interred in separate cemeteries at the rear of the prison and marked with an appropriate obelisk. There are also rows of headstones inscribed only with initials and dates, many faded beyond recognition. The true number of those who perished at Dartmoor, or their identities, will probably never be known.
But for the privileged officer class, the majority of them French, captivity was a very different story. By a mutual gentlemen's agreement between the warring parties, they were allowed to live under parole status in private lodgings outside the prison on the condition that they gave their solemn word that they would not attempt to escape, as well as to report to prison authorities once a week. They were also permitted to receive money from friends and family overseas, which, especially for those from aristocratic or wealthy backgrounds, enabled them to live in relative comfort.
After Napoleon's final defeat at the battle of Waterloo, the process of repatriating French prisoners of war began in earnest. However, as the war in North America was still ongoing, those freed were quickly replaced by their American counterparts who were transferred from other prisons throughout Britain. Many had been kept in infamous hulk ships at nearby ports like Plymouth, where conditions were even more horrific than those at Dartmoor.
This was the pattern of life-and death-at Dartmoor during the early 1800s. And well beyond.
As mentioned previously, there have been numerous escape attempts- many involving astonishing ingenuity on the part of the prisoners-during Dartmoor's two hundred years of history. But, in the end, less than a handful succeeded. Much of this was due to the fact that, even after a prisoner had managed to flee, there was almost nowhere to go. No food, no shelter, no relief from driving rain and biting winds, and all the while running the risk of being spotted by his pursuers (or a local farmer eager to collect a £5 reward) while trying to make his way across open stretches of moorland-which is one reason that the present site for Dartmoor prison was chosen in the first place. With few exceptions, most escapees were recaptured within forty eight hours. Others, exhausted after having realized the futility of continuing into the unknown, simply turned around, stumbled back toward the prison gates, and gave themselves up.
The entrance to Dartmoor prison.
(barely visible in this image of the arch) translates to Spare the Vanquished.
Dartmoor is also the site of another important legacy from that turbulent era: the only church in Britain built by American prisoners of war.
Today, more than two hundred years on, Dartmoor still serves as a prison. But things couldn't be more different. No prisoners of war, no violent criminals, and very few repeat offenders. Convicted murderers and other serious criminals were long ago transferred to modern, high-tech security prisons in other parts of Britain. Generally, no inmates at Dartmoor have been convicted of serious violent crimes, nor, for the most part, are they considered flight risks. Many are participants in a government-sponsored rehabilitation program through which they learn skills to help improve their chances of employment after their release back into society. They also receive expert psychological counseling when needed. Good hygiene, dedicated medical services, healthy food, hot showers, a library, access to visiting family members-these are now the norm for everyone, not just for Napoleon's elite officers. Unlike their Nineteenth century predecessors, prison staff in today's Dartmoor are polite, well trained, and professional. Much of their relationship with the inmates is based on mutual trust, as well as instinct and past experience. Many prisoners pass through the gates each morning to perform outside tasks, like tending to the prison farm and collecting its fruits and vegetables. There are also talented artists and craftsmen among them, and a gift shop where visitors can purchase their hand-made items . There are even bird cages for sale.
Wry humor? One can't help but wonder.

He said "I am going to give this Rs 500 note to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note.
"Well" he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

« « ASNE: Data Journalism: The Myths and the Magic
Learning about…pushing the envelope when paying it forward » »
I believe in the message, and describing that message in the best medium possible. What is the message? It can be many things, but developing in the newsroom affords us the opportunity for the message to be describing what's going on in the world, things that truly affect us as human beings.
As for the medium, I dislike being tied to one specific form of describing information. I enjoy writing, but text is finite. Photography extends it further, as does videography. But if one wants to truly create one's own story form, writing computer code allows this to happen.
I don't develop in the newsroom just because I like solving logical puzzles. I could do that lots of places. Coding makes the most sense to me when I do it with intent, a purpose. Journalism has a very obvious, visceral, impactful purpose.
There aren't enough folks who can write code in newsrooms — one of the few areas in our industry where the demand still vastly exceeds the supply. I know, because I see my to-do list every day. I know because I hear from editors in the industry looking for that combination.
But let's say you know how to code. There are lots of places you can go to develop things. Here are my top ten reasons why bringing those programming skills to the newsroom is the most fun, fulfilling and productive way I can imagine spending one's days.
1. Be the quirky one.
My experience is largely IN newsrooms, but it always seemed to me that if you work in a tech shop, you are one of MANY who works in that tech shop. Your tech skills, no matter how hard you worked to acquire them, are not in the minority. In a newsroom, using tech skills with editorial intent is still new. Personality traits that make you a good programmer may be unusual among your colleagues. Jargon and processes you are used to may be especially new. Introducing agile philosophies to those who've never seen it before is a really special feeling. You won't be a cog in a machine, you'll be more like the piece of the machine with the shiny new part. You'll be valued.
2. Be the quirky one in a world of quirky ones.
Journalists are some of the most interesting personalities I know — people who literally learn, and impart that knowledge to others, for a living. The subject matter is always shifting, and never boring, so the people aren't boring. Your colleagues will provide fascinating conversation, and stretch your mind. They'll embrace your eccentricities if you embrace theirs. Life is more fun this way.
3. Make us more efficient.
Because we don't have as many coders in the newsroom as we need, there are a lot of repetitive workflow tasks being done over and over. Some have to do with searching the same website repetitively for example, a quick scraper can save hours. You may even help find news insights by collecting information in a structured way, which others won't find. Whether it's for making it easier to publish stories, or for organizing editorial data, or digging into newsroom archives, interesting and fun projects can be found by automating things people have to do right now.
The merits of doing programming with editorial intent are best explained by my AP Washington colleague Jack Gillum:
"Developing code has simply made my journalism better and more accurate. Of course, old-fashioned source reporting is important, especially when I covered campaign finance during the 2012 election. But having the ability to add computational journalism to the mix usually meant richer story threads. My flavor of newsroom developing – taking disparate data sets and finding new ways to analyze them – is more on the back end, but it can fill in reporting gaps and get past the he-said-she-said punditry."
4. Develop new ideas for presentation, and bring them to life.
Take in what's being done in journalism now. Imagine it in a different way. Any and every story form is doable with code. The question isn't what you can work on, or what you can do, but how to prioritize what to work on. You'll be making some really interesting stuff, because powerful brains will work together to imagine it, then your tech skills will help you build it. Make sure the design is clean, and that you don't just build something fun that's hard to use. But you'll have the tools to do some extremely creative work.
5. Develop insights others cannot, or as I like to put it, break news through code.
Use programming skills to collect and compile information. Work with reporters who specialize in beats, or specific topic areas, to enhance your work. They have what we call "domain knowledge" and have the knowledge and connections to provide you with incredibly rich source material. They also can serve as great user testers, telling you if your app makes sense to a non-programmer.
6. Have the capacity to make change.
Because programming skills are not common to everyone right now, people who have them have an expertise, and that opinion is highly valued. To make change, I'm realizing more and more, one has to do and make, not just talk. Never forget how convincing a quick working demo is. Coding knowledge means sometimes it takes 15 minutes or less to make a clickable thing.
"I spent a long time in the IT industry before moving to journalism – frankly, building news apps is way more interesting than programming firewalls and managing email or directory servers," AP colleague Nathan Griffiths wrote in an email to me. "Plus there are opportunities to break new ground here – both in terms of code & content – that I think can be difficult to find in more established development environments."
7. Have impact, both inside and outside of the newsroom.
Your work is distributed across a vast network among your colleagues, and more importantly, to the public we serve. You'll help expose an industry to new, forward-thinking ideas. You'll truly be able to search for the best way to tell a story, because your list of potential story forms is no longer a multiple-choice test, but an exercise in filling in the blanks with whatever works best. The question then, becomes not "How is it possible to tell the story?" but "What do we want to invest in the story?"
8. Work with extremely passionate and brilliant colleagues, coders and non-coders, inside your organization.
Journalists love learning and sharing. While, yes, there is a certain extent of sitting quietly and writing at one's desk, there's also a lot of fervent collaboration. No detail is too small to merit a second (or hundredth) glance. When you get excited over an intricate problem you solved, you'll have people to share it with. And you'll hear interesting stories from them. Asking continual whys in pair programming is not just acceptable, but encouraged. There's a special mix of having independence in your idea. Learning technical and editorial knowledge from others is key here. You don't need to do it alone, or with people just like you. You need resources in myriad areas, who are ready and willing to contribute.
9. Connect with an amazingly supportive data journalism community, where you can reap the rewards of learning and teaching.
Your resources don't stop within your organization. The burgeoning group of journalists specializing in data analysis, presentation and technology competes on stories, not on tech. An especially powerful group is the National Institute of Computer-Assisted Reporting, known as NICAR. My friends there made me believe I could code, helped (and help) me learn the skills, got me the connections to get all the jobs I've had, and have even been hired as my colleagues. Also, if you come in with tech skills, no matter your level, there are probably questions you'll be able to answer, and you'll have the warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from helping others. Assisting others in the community also has the plus of cementing your own knowledge, I've found.
10. Be judged on the merit and execution of your ideas, not other factors. Join the inner ring.
Too often in this world, we are judged for external characteristics. But after spending nearly four years in this world, the judgment is reserved for the work. Your gender, race, even experience level is not as important as the quality of your intellectual work.
"If in your working hours you make the work your end, you will presently find yourself all unawares inside the only circle in your profession that really matters. You will be one of the sound craftsmen, and other sound craftsmen will know it. " –Author and essayist C.S. Lewis in a lecture at King's College in the University of London in 1944 (Full text of lecture).
Lewis is describing what he calls the Inner Ring, and part of why I urge you to join us is to join our Inner Ring. It's a special mental place to be, and makes each day one of joy and fulfillment. It's not just a job, it's a state of being. Someday, I hope these skills are applicable to everyone, and the group that does this isn't an "inner" anything. But to reach that day, we need more people. If you have the slightest interest in bringing your coding to journalism, journalism to code, or jumping into both fields head first, we await you with open arms, and are ready to support you.
If you think this sounds interesting, and have some coding skills to apply to the world of journalism and newsrooms, apply to the Knight-Mozilla fellowship, which you can find more info about here.

Charlotte's new 'action bar': No-kids nights, self-pour cocktails, laser tag, more
September 13, 2019 September 13, 2019 Emily Maassen
Coliseum V is a completely unique concept bringing patrons not only self-pour beer, but also laser tag, virtual reality, archery tag, and more!
*Original Source: Charlotte Five
The new "action bar" Coliseum V is still figuring out a few details before its Sept. 19 grand opening, owner Phil McHugh said.
He's still hiring, he's waiting on the liquor license and he's already changed the pay rates for games.
The action bar previously announced customers could pay for virtual reality booths by the hour. But to keep it simple, he has decided customers will pay for all activities — virtual reality games, archery tag and laser tag 2.0 — by the half hour, at a rate of $12.95.
Change is built into the business concept, McHugh said. He said the action bar at 2801 E. Independence Blvd. can be whatever people want — and that includes its name.
People have already asked how to pronounce Coliseum V, he said. Is it "V" or "Five"?
"It's all the above," he said. "We call it Coliseum V (the letter), but at the same time, we're not particular. This place is everything you make it out to be. I really wanted to create a place that is totally different."
The 4,000-square-foot action field inside the bar is covered in obstacles on wheels, he said. If needed, the field could be cleared in minutes for a pop-up yoga class.
He has three goals for his new business:
It should be fun and repeatable.
It needs to be unique.
It should cause social interaction.
If anything doesn't fit his criteria, he'll change it.

Coliseum V on East Independence Boulevard is set to open Sept. 19.
'Something different'
The self-pour bar will feature food trucks and 72 taps of beers, wine, pre-mixed cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
The 22 virtual reality booths have a library of 180 games that guests can choose from. Customers can even pick the same game from different VR booths and play together, McHugh said.
The bar will have archery tag — think dodgeball with bow and arrows — and Laser 2.0 — a mission-based, two-team version of laser tag.
"People want a fun, memorable experience and they're looking for something different," McHugh said.
That's what he hopes Coliseum V will provide. McHugh's target market is the over-21 crowd, but it will be family friendly as well.
But on Friday and Saturday nights, the adults get it to themselves. After 8 p.m. on those nights, the bar will stop letting anyone under 18 in, McHugh said.
The bar is pet-friendly. McHugh will also host a monthly archery competition, with the winner taking away $1,000 to their charity of choice, McHugh said.
Coliseum V is McHugh's first bar, and it's been in the works for two and a half years, he said.
He never expected to open a bar — or a laser tag arena. But he hopes it will build community.
"It's one thing to talk about it," McHugh said. "It's another thing to stand at the top of the double-decker bus with a drink in hand and watching your friends shoot bow and arrows at each other."

I LOVE LOVE this place! I got brought here by my aunt and now I bring everyone here! Easiest way to put it, it's the sweet factory for adults! Try beer or wine before pouring a full glass, very inexpensive and EVERY TIME I've visited the staff were extremely helpful and continued to check on us to see if we needed anything. Honestly why didn't I think of something like this, pure genius!

One of the best things in life are summer nights – whether it be sitting by a fire roasting s'mores, playing yard games with the neighbors, or looking at the stars on a hill. If you are looking for a new activity to add to your summer nights, consider creating an outdoor movie. We've found some great instructions for building the screen and also some recommendations on how you'd project the movie and add sound.
Why not create this DIY outdoor movie this weekend, and enjoy it this summer and for many summers to come?!
We found these instructions on how to build the screen from PotteryBarn. Here is what you'll need to build the screen: (2) thick, white queen–size ironed flat sheets, a Top pole 1.5″ diameter x 10′ long, Bottom pole 3″ diameter x 10′ long, rope of two different thicknesses, (2) tent stakes, sewing machine, and an iron.
Here are their steps to assemble the screen: Step 1. Start with two queen–sized flat sheets which have been thoroughly ironed. Sew them together with white thread so the long sides are joined creating a tube. Step 2. Insert the 1.5–inch diameter pole and let the fabric hang down. Step 3. Attach thicker rope to the ends of the top pole so that it can be attached to a tree. Step 4. Once attached to a tree, slide the thicker pole through the tube created by the sewn sheets so that it creates a weight at the bottom of the screen. Step 5. Attach thinner rope to the ends of the bottom pole. Step 6. Insert two tent stakes directly beneath the bottom corners of the screen, tie the thinner rope to both of the tent stakes and pull taught. This will insure that the screen doesn't sway in the wind.
PROJECTOR. When choosing a projector, remember this: the bigger the screen, the better the resolution you need to be able to see the image. A High Definition Projector is your best bet. Look for something that has an HDMI input and you should be in good shape. Beyond that, as you increase the price of the projector what you generally find is the brightness level of the projector increases. That will allow you to start your movies earlier in the evening, which may or may not be worth the extra money to you.
AUDIO. This is where most people skimp. But this is the part that makes the most difference. It doesn't do you much good to create a giant image and then force your guests to guess what the people are saying. That said, you don't need to spend a lot of money to make a great sound system. This is not a place where you need surround sound or high quality speakers, volume is more important than clarity. I live in a place where no one cares if I am blasting my system at 11pm while watching The Bourne Identity (or Pride and Prejudice) but even if you have neighbors that don't appreciate the volume, you still need something that can project the sound to your guests. Without walls to reflect the sound you typically need more than you would indoors.
I would suggest that you get a stereo receiver or old sound system that is around. People want surround sound in their homes so this is something you can pick up cheap on craigslist. You then want to find some speakers. Again, these do not need to be high quality speakers that you would use in your home theater in your home. I looked on craigslist for DJ speakers and went with some of the cheapest I could find.
BLURAY. If you can show your movies in bluray, do it. As your screen gets bigger the image quality is stretched. DVD's produce about 500 lines of resolution, bluray gives you 1080 lines of resolution. That is twice as much picture that you are going to stretch. If you can't get your copy of Anne of Green Gables on Bluray (they don't make it, I have looked for AmberLee's sake), at least pull out your bluray player to project the DVD. Most Bluray players try to convert the image and double the lines that are produced. You will still see a difference between that and Bluray, but it will be much better than just playing the disc on a laptop or old DVD player.

What is Language Disorder?
What's language disorder? People with language disorder have difficulty expressing themselves and understanding what others are saying. This is unrelated to hearing problems. Language disorder, formerly known as receptive-expressive language disorder, is common in young children.
Diagnosis: Language Disorder
US Patients: 7% of young children;acquired before age 3
Sex Ratio: B2;G
Symptoms: may involve grammar or semantics (meaning of words); can be in forming or expressing language or in understanding language
Progression: may have problems in the mental formation of language itself
Causes: expressive language disorders may include limited vocabulary, inability to produce complex grammar or others; audiology may help
Therapies: speech therapy my help those with forming and expressing language; help in reading comprehension may be more difficult

A novel strategy for bioactive natural products targeting NLRP3 inflammasome in Alzheimer's disease
by Zhiyou Yang on January 26, 2023
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common type of dementia, is an ageing-related progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder. Extracellular neuritic plaques composed of misfolded amyloid β (Aβ) proteins and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles formed by hyperphosphorylated tau protein are the two classical characteristics of AD. Aβ and tau pathologies induce neurite atrophy and neuronal apoptosis, leading to cognitive, language, and behavioral deficits. For decades, researchers have made great...

Lieberman on the Tax Deal: 'The Votes Are There'
By Daniel Foster
About Daniel Foster
The Obama administration and supporters of the tax deal in the Senate seem to be settling in on a strategy of fake-it-til-you-make-it in order to create a sense of inevitability about the measure's passage. Here's Senator Lieberman (I., Conn.):
"I repeat, the votes are there; enough votes are there to pass this," he said, adding that the package will come up for a vote "maybe by the weekend."
Jennifer Rubin has more on whether the deal can hold together, including a quote from an anonymous Republican insider who says Senator DeMint's opposition "doesn't pass the laugh test."
Daniel Foster — Daniel Foster is a former news editor of National Review Online.


A Towerful of Mice is a secondary quest encountered in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Another quest needed to romance the sorceress Keira Metz, it concerns Keira sending the witcher to Fyke Island to lift a curse amidst the ruins of the old tower. The magic lamp acquired during Magic Lamp quest will have a practical use. Keira will not follow and support Geralt this time, but she has another way staying in contact with him via a bauble device called the Xenovox.
Fyke can only be reached by boat and the only remaining inhabitants, when Geralt arrives, are a horde of Rotfiends, a Water hag, some Ghouls and Drowners.
As soon as Geralt is nearing the tower, he should make use of the magic lamp to watch the spectre's story. Entering the tower shows it was a laboratory and the rats were not the only specimen the mage Alexander pushed his needles into. With the help of the Witcher senses, Geralt can find a secret doorway and the mage's notes. A fresh corpse he found earlier on the island makes Geralt suspicious. In the laboratory he finally can hear the laments of the ghost of Anabelle.
Geralt should pay attention to what the ghost of Anabelle is telling him.
After he has listened to her, he must decide if he believes her story or not.
He either can collect her bones and bring them to Graham or talk to Graham and bring him to the island.
The first way leads to Graham's death and the Plague maiden to be freed - which will cause an outbreak of a disease.
The second will free Anabelle's ghost/lift the curse, but also kill Graham, after he kissed her.
Five successfully watched projections give 50 each, sixth projection (the one with a man killed by some monster) - 100 (maybe additional 50 are given not for this particular projection, but for completing sub-quest in finding all of the ghosts), talking with the ghost of Anabelle 100 , bringing Graham to the island and lifting the Curse 500 , bringing Anabelle's remains to Graham - 300 . So, in optimal case you can get 950 + for killing monsters, which makes this secondary quest one of the most XP rewarding in the early stage of the game.
After Geralt has returned to Keira and spoken to her, she will ask Geralt for another favor concerning some ingredients she is awaiting delivery from Novigrad. Once Geralt has left her hut, the Pellar is waiting for Geralt with the quest Forefathers' Eve, which also occurs on Fyke Island.
A horrible curse had befallen Fyke Isle and the tower that stood upon it. Half a year prior, Lord Vserad had moved his court there, seeking shelter from approaching Nilfgaardian armies. While famine raged all around, the lord of Velen wallowed in excess and cared not a whit for his suffering vassals. The gods saw fit to punish him and, towards this end, cursed him. One day, a host of mice scurried into the tower and proceeded to devour everything, including Vserad, his court and his resident mage, Alexander.
The isle had been haunted since that day, and fishermen feared to sail the lake, putting yet another dent in the already battered local economy. The local peasants thus asked Keira to lift the curse, and she turned to the witcher for help. Enticed by Keira's charms and her promise of additional rewards, Geralt took on the task. The sorceress equipped him with a magic lamp he could use to commune with dead souls, gave him a firm pat on the rear for good luck and sent him off to lift the curse.
During his investigation of the isle, Geralt discovered the lord's daughter, Anabelle, was the key to lifting the curse. She had died along with the others and her spirit now roamed the tower's empty halls, trapped in this vale of tears by her love for a fisherman named Graham.
Geralt thought taking her remains to the fisherman would solve everything - but instead it led to catastrophe. Anabelle, he discovered, was not an unfortunate lost soul but a dangerous plague maiden. The wraith had tricked Geralt - when he removed Anabelle's remains from the tower the plague maiden was freed from her prison and ventured out into the world to spread disease and pestilence.
During his investigation of the isle, Geralt discovered the lord's daughter, Anabelle, was the key to lifting the curse. She had died along with the others and her spirit now roamed the tower's empty halls, trapped in this vale of tears by her love for a fisherman named Graham. Geralt lifted the curse by bringing Graham back to see his love, but the story did not end happily. The young man's kiss dispatched the wraith into eternal slumber, but killed Graham - for, as Geralt realized all too late, Anabelle's ghost had become a deadly plague maiden, a spectral sower of disease and pestilence.

Anne Lister at The National Archives
by Janeite Kelly in archival, Other Business Tags: anne lister, archives, ladies of llangollen, research
When this blog existed as a website (many years ago), I had posted some of Anne Lister's comments, as one of the Visitors to the Ladies of Llangollen at Plas Newydd. I never re-linked all of the extended pages. Of course Anne's own words can be read in the book I Know My Own Heart (edited by Helena Whitbread; 1988).
An extract is listed, with thanks to Michael in Aberystwyth, in A Plas Newydd Timeline, which features visitor and other comments from the 1780s to the 1830s and beyond. Hover over the menu link (above) for a drop down menu, by date. Anne Lister's comments are under '1820-1824'; she visited Llangollen in the summer of 1822.
With the popularity of the TV series Gentleman Jack, featuring Suranne Jones as Anne Lister, The National Archives, in Kew, have blogged about their holdings of Lister-related documents.
I will do as they did – and say SPOILER ALERT! – for anyone finding their way here because of the TV series. We deal with the inevitable 'end,' for TNA holds the handwritten wills of Anne Lister and Ann Walker. Their blog post will also 'catch you up' on some of the backstory, Anne's years before Gentleman Jack.
A caveat to keep in mind, not specifically mentioned in TNA's blog post: At the time, if a woman married her property became the property of her husband. In leaving Ann Walker Shibden Hall for her lifetime, Anne Lister would NOT have wanted the property to devolve to anyone Ann Walker decided to share her own wealth with.
(A marriage settlement might have stipulated, if both parties agreed, to separate out the property. But who would take that chance?)
I have a couple of old wills, original wills, related to my research of the family of Emma Austen and Mary Smith. Folded, they look JUST LIKE those pictured in TNA's blog! It's thrilling to see Anne and Ann's 'last wishes' represented, and to know The National Archives has such a cache of originals (probated wills are my bête noire; some are horrible to decipher due to the hand used, and swirls inserted to cover 'blank' space; while microfilm also does them NO favor).
I believe the link the blog provides – going to PROB 11, whereby you can purchase (for £3.50) a PDF download, rather than PROB 10 – brings you to the PROBATED copy, not the original of Ann Walker's will. The blog does provide one photograph (alas: can't enlarge it!) of a section of Anne Lister's will.
Like my own research materials at The National Archives, other items exist because of a dispute. You will be amazed over the "end" of the story…
Note also their link to the DIGITAL copies of Anne Lister's diaries, online (since April 2019) at West Yorkshire Archive.
Letters from the Ladies of Llangollen
by Janeite Kelly in archival, Other Business, visitors Tags: archives, letters, research, websites
Every once in a while I look up the holdings for the LLOYDS of ASTON HALL, OSWESTRY at the National Library of Wales. The parents of Louisa Lloyd were Lady Louis and Sir Eliab Harvey, of Rolls Park, Chigwell. The Harveys were neighbors and friends with the Smiths of Suttons (both Essex estates).
A lot of work has gone into cataloguing the Aston Hall materials, especially letters, which appear in a finding aid of some detail (though brief contents of individual letters are only to be found in the archival record [click on the individual file name; scroll below to "Scope and Content"]; I've saved you the trouble for the letters listed below).
_I_, of course, would love to find that some letters from my Smiths have ended up here. I would settle for some sentences of chat or gossip about them even – but that would take reading through the letters. Correspondence, especially that between mother and daughter is voluminous! More than one repository holds what exists, as well.
In short, it's not likely that I would take the time, in the hope of finding a short mention of the Smiths of Suttons & Portland Place.
But reading through the finding aid one gets a "feeling" for the volume of correspondents, and the reach of letters in the early 19th century when distance separated family members.
My reason for bringing this up is less about the Smiths, about whom I think 24/7, but about the letters from the Ladies of Llangollen, Sarah Ponsonby and Lady Eleanor Butler found in this deposit.
An even MORE exciting *find* is the item described as "a Bible presented by Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby to Ward Harvey Lloyd, 8 August 1819".
The letters were written to Louisa Lloyd (Mrs. William Lloyd of Aston Hall, though it's possible some letters were written to her when visiting away from home).
Letters from Eleanor Butler, by date:
1805 [no specific date] [C 1520: "Sender's proposed visit to Aston; reference to the Duchess of Gordon, the Duchess of Richmond and the Ladies Lennox's stay at Bangor."]
7 November 1806 [C 1521: "Sender's proposed visit to Aston; reference to their visit to Brynkinalt; also to the arrival of Lady Ormonde and her daughter Eleanor."]
13 April 1813 [C 1522: "Miscellaneous news."]
18 August 1813 [C1523: "Recipient's departure from Aston; sender's desire to have Lady Louisa Harvey at Plas Newydd."]
9 December 1813 [C 1524: "Enquiry for Lady Louisa Harvey and reference to two books."]
1813 [no specific date] [C 1525: "Accepting an invitation to Aston."]
5 April 1814 [C 1526: "Acknowledgement of a box."]
4 April 1817 [C 1527: "Sender's proposed visit to Aston."]
29 January 1819 [C 1528: "Sender's visit to Wynnstay; the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and Lady Harrie Williams Wynn's visit to Plas Newydd; personal and miscellaneous news."]
3 February 1819 [C 1529: "Accepting an invitation to Aston and miscelleneous news."]
21 April 1819 [C 1530: "Asking for vegetables from the garden in exchange for flowers; reference to Saving Banks; Sunday Schools and the Bible Society; miscellaneous news."]
c1819 [C 1531: "Recipient's visit to Plas Newydd."]
1819 [no specific date] [C 1532: "Acknowledging a drawing; the books of Auguste La Fontaine; an account of the King of Sweden laid out in state, received from Stockholm."]
1819 [again, no specific date] [C 1533: Acknowledging a letter; Edward gone to school; miscellaneous news."]
1 January 1826 [C 1534: "Acknowledging the gifts of drawings."]
Two undated letters, written written by Lady Eleanor to Lady Louisa Harvey are also in the collection:
[C 7207: "Miscellaneous news with reference to Mrs. Lloyd of Rhoggat, Lord Westmeath, Governor Nugent, Lady Crewe, Lord and Lady Grosvenor, Mr. Pryce of Bryn-y-pys and others."]
[C 7208: "An invitation to visit Plas Newydd, reference to recipient's daughter Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Kenyon and others."]
Lady Louisa Harvey and her two children,
Edward and Louisa (by Thomas Lawrence) [c1793]
In the "Miscellaneous Letters and Fragments" are noted two letters to Lady Eleanor Butler:
from E. Curtis; 29 March 1822 [C 8241: "Personal and family news with reference to sender's drawings."]
from unknown; 16 November [year unknown] [C 8242: "Disappointment at the cancellation of a visit."]
Letters of Sarah Ponsonby, (identified as "Other level: Pole-Puzzo"), by date:
27 July 1817 [C 6338: "Lady Eleanor Butler's indisposition; arranging a visit to Aston to meet Lady Louisa Harvey; intending to arrive for breakfast."]
7 September 1829 [C 6339: "Recipient and her family to visit Plas Newydd; reference to Lady Louisa Harvey."]
18 September 1829 [C 6340: "The Empress Josephine and her life written by Mlle le Normand; recipient's visit to Llangollen and a set of views for her."]
19 October 1830 [C 6341: "A journal for Lady Louisa Harvey."]
3 January 1831 [C 6342: "Arrangements re: recipient's visit to Llangollen with her family."]
5 November 1831 [C 6343: "A gift of plants for recipient, acknowledging flowers sent from Aston; the cholera and a receipt [sic] for it."]
Letter from Sarah to Elizabeth Lloyd:
6 June 1816 [C 8150: "Enquiries concerning Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon and acknowledgements for agreeable day passed at Pradoe."]
Fiona Brideoake's book, The Ladies of Llangollen: Desire, Indeterminancy, and the Legacies of Criticism has several small quotes from the Mother-Daughter (Lady Louisa Harvey and Louisa Lloyd) letters; my favorite is this exchange:
… a source of amusement to Lady Louisa Harvey, who wrote in 1807 to her daughter advising her of an erroneous newspaper report of Butler's attendance at court on the occasion of the king's birthday: 'I know no news but what I've seen in the papers, one of which entertained us much viz: Lady Eleanor Butler** dress [sic] at the drawing Room was a pale pink crepe trimmed with wreaths of full blown roses and buds.' [pp. 40-41]
**could this Lady Eleanor have been Lady Ormonde's daughter? see description of letter C 1521, dated 1806
On a sadder note, this exchange between the two Louisas, in January, 1832:
'I have seen a kind well written letter from one of the poor little Maids at poor dear lost Llangollen. I hope and trust there will be no auction, it is a sad thought that of all their poor Treasure, displaced, and pried on by all.' [page 137]
Some of the drawings being acknowledged in the above letters may be the subject of this first sentence; the second, touches on the Ladies' books:
Writing to Lady Louisa Harvey on Augusta 18, 1832, Louisa Lloyd further observed of the Plas Newydd sale, 'Mary seems much annoyed that Edward should have missed my Picture but I think he was right It is not worth above 3s.' … 'I am quite astonished that the Books should go so cheap, I expected they would sell for an enormous Sum how very Stupid the Shropshire Gentry must be, poor Ladies how their Ghosts must be hovering round all these horrid unfeeling People–'
"Gentleman Jack" on TV
by Janeite Kelly in Other Business Tags: 19th century england, 19th century travel, anne lister, entertainment
Since I don't like in the UK or subscribe to HBO I am waiting to actually see Gentleman Jack, the new series that stars Suranne Jones as Anne Lister of Shibden Hall. Friends in the UK are giving the series-so-far enthusiastic "thumbs up".
On the Ladies of Llangollen website, from which this blog evolved (begun in 2006), I had had excerpts from Anne Lister's meeting with Sarah Ponsonby and Lady Eleanor Butler. Anne is not currently listed as a "visitor" to Plas Newydd, but is found under the Timeline for 1820-1824. You, of course, can read about Anne's visit to Llangollen in Helena Whitbread's publication: I Know My Own Heart (1992), republished as The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, after the 2010 TV film came out.
Other publications of the Lister diaries include:
No Priest But Love: The Journals of Anne Lister from 1824-1826, Helena Whitbread
Female Fortune: Land, Gender, and Authority, by Jill Liddington
Nature's Domain: Anne Lister and the Landscape of Desire, by Jill Liddington
for other items, see Amazon
more podcasts were noted on Ladies of Llangollen (from 2017)
more on Anne Lister on my companion blog Regency Reads (2012)
Revealing Anne Lister of Shibden Hall on my main blog Two Teens in the Time of Austen (2012)
The TV series has its own "tie-in" publications. Now in paperback is the same-titled biography, Gentleman Jack, by Angela Steidele. This is a well-translated work (by Katy Derbyshire) from the German, which covers all of Anne's lovers. NOT, evidently, a source for the TV series, new copies of the book come with a photograph of actress Suranne Jones in a different pose (away from the camera), while the tie-ins have photos of her looking at the camera.
Steidele appears in the first of two new YouTube offerings:
BBC History Extra Podcast (May 2019) [22.15 minutes]
SAG-AFTRA Conversation with Suranne Jones & Sally Wainwright (April 2019)
Jones and Wainwright are on camera for bit more than 44 minutes, taking a few questions from the audience at the end. Wainwright's writing credits feature series many will recognize. It was with a nod of "yeap, know that well" when I heard her talk of wanting to direct what she wrote — respecting a previous series, ITV declined because she hadn't directed. The usual Catch-22, as we often hear. Can't 'do' because you don't have experience, yet can't get experience because, well, you have no experience.
What caught my ear, though, was Wainwright's description of working with the original Anne Lister diaries: "Absorb," is the word she used. She describes the act of transcribing, as well as the after-fact absorption of the material that then must be done.
IMDB (Internet Movie Database) is indicating that there is already a Series 2 in the future for Gentleman Jack.
Wellcome Library: Essay on The Ladies of Llangollen

A quick look for anything *new* on The Ladies of Llangollen brought up this essay on the website for the Wellcome Library.

The Ladies who were famous
by Janeite Kelly in books, Other Business Tags: books, travel, websites
Reader Liz alerted me to an online article, "The Ladies Who Were Famous For Wanting To Be Left Alone," by Patricia Hampl. It appears on the site LONGREADS.
Hampl's book The Art of the Wasted Day, newly published in April 2018, certainly speaks to my type of personality – for no day alone is a WASTED day! The Ladies of Llangollen's history opens the book. One reviewer calls The Art of the Wasted Day "a swirl of memoir, travelogue and biography". Click on the cover to read more about Hampl's book.
Of course, I invited all readers to let me know of Ladies of Llangollen-related tidbits you've seen or produced. Would love to let all readers know what is out there – whether stores, articles, new books (or old), photos, trips, etc. etc.
Ladies of Llangollen, the Play

News from Norena Shopland:
The Ladies exhibition which premiered in Swansea in February, will now be availble to view at from the 6th to the 16th September at Oswestry Museum. There's a small mention in this link.
Also, Living Histories Cymru will be doing their play on the Ladies at the Herman Chapell Arts Center on 16 September 2018 at 4:30 PM (doors open at 4 PM).
The play is described as:
"As part of the nationwide Heritage Open Days, Living Histories Cymru presents, in the unusual format of a costumed conversation, insights into the lives of Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, widely known as the Ladies Of Llangollan. Be a fly on the pews in the atmospheric setting of the Hermon Chapel, take cake and tea with the Ladies and listen in on their private conversations revealing much about their shared life's challenges, choices and their Oswestry friends!"
Appearing as Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby
are Helen Sandler and Jane Hoy.
A "repeat performance" will take place at Plas Newydd (Llangollen, Wales) on 22 September 2018.
How I wish I could join the audience at either performance! Tea (coffee, too) & cake before the show; and a Q&A session afterwards. Tickets are FREE.
Courageous & Audacious
by Janeite Kelly in Other Business Tags: 18th century, letters, sarah ponsonby, websites
Two years ago, Duke University announced a "Happy Day for Women's History": their acquisition of the Lisa Unger Baskin collection of Ladies of Llangollen items.
Recent news talks about items in the collection! And now thoroughly catalogued, you can see just what's available by looking through the GUIDE to the LADIES OF LLANGOLLEN COLLECTION.
The largest part of the collection is the letters written by and to the Ladies. Most of the correspondence takes place between Sarah Ponsonby and her cousin Mrs. Sarah Tighe, along with letters from Eleanor Butler, their neighbor Ch. L. West, and the Fownes family, Sarah Ponsonby's cousins and former guardians. The manuscripts include poems by the Ladies, as well as an account written about the Ladies of Llangollen by Ch. L. West and an album by a visitor to Llangollen. The papers contain items and images of the Ladies of Llangollen, Llangollen Vale, and the traditions of Wales in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Guidebooks, maps, and printed materials make up the materials about the history of the Ladies' beloved Llangollen. The images of the Ladies and their home in Llangollen Vale make up the largest part of the image files.
Letters begin in 1774. A great deal of them are letters from Sarah Ponsonby to Mrs. Tighe. (see a photo of Sarah's fairy handwriting) That these letters survive, and in such a large group, is indeed a miracle.
There are poems by both Sarah and Eleanor; but what intrigues me are two pieces by other hands: an 1826 "account of the Ladies of Llangollen" by Ch. L. West (a neighbor) and a scrapbook album amassed in the 1830s.
Other items in the collection are OBJECTS, such as the porcelain basket pictured:
Click on the photo above to access the read the full article in The Devil's Tale: Dispatches from the David M. Rubinstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
Keep in mind the items held by The National Library of Wales, and available (formerly) on microfilm by Adam Matthew Publications; as well as early publications based on primary source collections.

The Ada 95 Rationale describes the overall scope and objectives of Ada 95 and its main technical features. Read part I before you attempt to read the Ada 95 Reference Manual. Parts II and III should be read in conjunction with the Ada 95 Reference Manual.
Part II gives the rationale for the core language, including alternatives that were considered and rejected. Part III describes the material in the annexes; this includes the predefined, mandatory environment, as well as the specialized, optional annexes.
Finally, part IV summarizes a few significant incompatibilities between Ada 83 and Ada 95, changes of the Ada 9X drafts through the review period, and a mapping between the original 9X Requirements and sections of the Rationale.
The Rationale of the revised Ada standard was released at version 6.0 (in synchronization with the revised standard itself). There are several electronic formats of the new rationale.
The hypertext versions, paper editions, and Postscript files of the Rationale can be obtained in the same way as for the Reference Manual.
This hypertext version of the rationale for Ada 95 was produced by Laurent Guerby. The entry point is the table of contents. The full index is linked in. A different version, tightly integrated with the reference manual, is part of DocAda.

Federal Court of Justice (BGH): In principle, the lex fori concursus determines whether a foreign pension is subject to attachment
The German Federal Court of Justice has recently held (BGH, court order of 20.7.2017 – IX ZB 63/16) that the scope of the insolvency estate is determined by the lex fori concursus and that this also applies to earned income and pension income. The extent to which protection from enforcement can prevent attachment of the insolvency estate is therefore substantively a matter for the law of the state in which proceedings are commenced.

I. Facts of the case
The insolvency debtor, who is resident in Germany, and with regard to whose assets insolvency proceedings were commenced in Germany, received an ordinary retirement pension from Switzerland and a retirement pension in Germany. The insolvency administrator had requested that the two pensions be aggregated. The insolvency court granted this request on condition that the basic amount that is exempted from attachment be taken first of all from the Swiss pension. The German party liable for the pension filed an immediate appeal and appeal on a point of law (section 574(I) sentence 1(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure [ZPO]).
With respect to the question of aggregating the two pensions, the insolvency court referred to section 36(IV) sentence 1 and (I) sentence 2 of the German Insolvency Code, InsO, and section 850a(2a) ZPO. The appeal court also stated that section 850e ZPO should be attributed to insolvency law, albeit being stipulate in the Code of Civil Procedure and that insolvency law should be applied via the referral pursuant to section 36 InsO. Moreover, enforcement in Switzerland would not be required here since the attachable amount would be taken from the pension entitlement in Germany.
II. Legal assessment
The appeal on a point of law to the German Federal Court of Justice in accordance with section 574 ZPO was admissible but unsuccessful. The Federal Court of Justice upheld the decisions of the two lower courts. Aggregation was permissible provided that the current cash payments were attachable (section 850e(2) and (2a) ZPO).
While the local Swiss pension was not attachable in accordance with Article 92(I)(9a) of the Swiss Federal Debt Collection and Bankruptcy Act (SchKG), in the event of insolvency proceedings being commenced in Germany the provisions on protection from attachment in German law apply, not the relevant provisions of the state of enforcement, i.e. Switzerland.
The Federal Court of Justice states that in accordance with section 335 InsO and Article 4 European Insolvency Regulation, EIR, (old version) (Article 7 of the new EIR 848/2015) the law of the state in which proceedings were commenced is applicable to the insolvency proceedings. Appropriate examples to aid interpretation can be consulted in the list in Article 4 of the EIR (old version). However, the Regulation says nothing about provisions on protection from attachment. The appeal court division states how inconsistent the case law and literature is on this point and decides that the insolvency statute is applicable.
The court describes in detail a situation in which in the respective foreign substantive laws the scope of seizure and protection against attachment and the mechanisms for satisfying creditors are designed differently but aligned with each other. According to the statements made by the Federal Court of Justice, establishing protection against attachment on an individual basis in accordance with the law on individual compulsory enforcement could result, within the framework of insolvency proceedings, in omissions with respect to debtor protection or even creditor protection. In consequence, the court therefore comes to the evaluative conclusion that applying German substantive law to protection against attachment guarantees consistent debtor protection and at the same time enables the creditors to access the non-protected portion of the debtor's assets.
While the appeal court division does not explicitly fail to recognise the conflict with the sovereignty of the law of the state of enforcement, it nevertheless does not wish to deny the objectively substantive applicability of the lex fori concursus for this reason.
However, in the present case enforcement is not relevant since the inclusion of the Swiss pension is in any event only a calculation value and the Swiss pension is in any case apportioned to the basic amount that is exempted from attachment.
III. Comments
Even if the conclusion here is comprehensible and apparently follows a practicable approach, its grounds are less easily understandable.
The Federal Court of Justice establishes that it has not yet dealt with the combination of facts that are found here. The very similar situation in the judgement of 20 December 2012 (BGH IX ZR 130/10) related to a third-party debtor in Germany and therefore it was not decisive whether an independent establishment of the provisions relating to attachability in addition to those of insolvency law was required in order to determine the insolvency estate. Nevertheless, in this 2012 judgment the Federal Court of Justice had made statements relating to this and had found that within the scope of compulsory enforcement the principle of territoriality applied because it was necessary for recourse to be had to the use of force by the state. The question of the scope of the protection against attachment was therefore determined in accordance with the law of the state of enforcement.
Unfortunately, in the decision in the present case the appeal court division did not adequately address the 2012 judgment and its grounds. While the court division directly admits the practical difficulties with its new decision, since an attachment abroad is only possible in accordance with the provisions applicable in the state of enforcement, this would not argue against the insolvency law being applicable with regard to the scope of the insolvency estate and the question of attachability. Ultimately, the Federal Court of Justice admonishes the insolvency administrator and third-party debtor to cooperate with each other.
The argument that otherwise it would be necessary to examine the law of the specific state of enforcement is probably somewhat unrealistic. In the era of the EIR and international insolvency law, conflict of law provisions in different forms are not an exception. Insolvency administrators must simply be able to deal with them.
In the present case, the court division refers to the debtor, who is resident in Germany and should be protected by this country's attachment protection provisions. Insolvency debtors who move abroad during insolvency proceedings because of a job offer and have higher living expenses there (as is the case, for example, in Switzerland) than in Germany will scarcely be able to get by at the German protected earnings rate.
It is therefore foreseeable that the court will have to deal with this topic area again in future.

South Africa's Singita Game Reserves has taken top honours in this year's US Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2011 readers' survey, scooping both 1st and 2nd places among the World's Top 100 Hotels, as well as securing the winning slot for Best Hotel Spa in Africa and the Middle East.
Having been rated against the finest hotels around the globe, Singita Grumeti Reserves, located along the Western corridor of Tanzania's legendary Serengeti National Park, is ranked No. 1 on the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2011 list of Top 100 Hotels Overall. Comprising four distinct, luxurious travel products that include the new Singita Explore mobile safari experience, as well as flagship Singita Sasakwa Lodge (a Relais and Châteaux property), Singita Sabora Tented Camp and Singita Faru Faru Lodge situated along East Africa's world-famous wildebeest migratory route, Singita Grumeti Reserves is one of the jewels in the crown of Singita's iconic safari destinations, where guest experiences are nothing short of life-changing.
Flagship Singita Sabi Sand, home to Singita's founding lodges Singita Ebony and Singita Boulders, as well as exclusive-use retreat Singita Castleton, followed hot on its heels as No. 2 on the coveted list of Top 100 Hotels Overall. Set within the greater Kruger National Park, Singita's private concession offers the ultimate in safari luxury and an unsurpassed 'Big 5' game viewing experience, within classic bushveld landscape.
In a remarkable achievement, a third Singita product, Singita Kruger National Park, which encompasses Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni Lodges with its spectacular setting overlooking the N'wanetsi River, not only made it onto this coveted Top 100 Hotels Overall list too (ranked No. 39), but it was also voted Best Hotel Spa in Africa and the Middle East in the same readers' survey this year.
Highlights from the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2011 readers' survey have just been announced in the USA on NBC's Today Show. Winners will be honoured during an awards ceremony to be held in Los Angeles on Thursday, 14 July.
Says Chief Marketing Officer for Singita Game Reserves, Lindy Rousseau: 'Singita today manages and is responsible for 570 000 acres in Africa. We operate ten lodges in four destinations in three countries. We practice what I call modern conservation, which is a finely tuned relationship between Wildlife, Local Communities and Tourism. We are exponents of low impact/high value tourism, which means fewer tourists paying higher prices, ensuring that the habitat is sensitively managed.
Our winning property, Singita Grumeti Reserves stands out as a shining example of this. Just eight years ago hardly an animal was to be seen here, and today it has the most prolific game populations in East Africa. We spend more on wildlife projects and community development than anyone else. When it comes to hotels, the new world order is very different from just five years ago. Today it is about authenticity, integrity and being real – and I think this is why more and more guests identify with what we are doing. We also run exceptional lodges, from a design and décor point of view, with excellent food, service and staff. It is a true honour to be voted a world leader by the discerning travellers who have stayed at our safari destinations', she concluded.
Singita Grumeti Reserves embodies the philosophy of 'touching the earth lightly', and is an exemplary model for the new African eco-philanthropy that 'gives back' through significant conservation and community projects.
The Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2011 are featured now on TravelandLeisure.com/worldsbest and will appear in the August issue of the American Travel + Leisure magazine (due for release on 22 July). The survey results are based on readers' ratings. Properties were rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being excellent, according to selected characteristics: rooms/facilities, location, service, restaurants/food, and value. Hotel spas are rated on the basis of their ambience, treatments, service and value.

INTERVIEW: Conor Chaplin Looks Back On Rochdale Defeat
The striker made his debut against Rochdale...
Dominic Scott-Bone
@DomScottBone
New Sky Blues signing Connor Chaplin said there were positives to take, despite defeat against Rochdale.
The Sky Blues created a host of chances, but were unable to convert and striker Chaplin believed it shows good signs for City.
"I thought we were excellent first-half, but obviously I know what this league's like if you don't put your chances away." He said.
"There are plenty of positives to take from that first-half.
"There was chance after chance, I don't know how many statistically but from the bench there was only one team that was going to score and that was us."
Chaplin watched on from the substitutes bench for the first-half and was brought into the action by Mark Robins in the 56th minute.
'It was good to come on and make my debut but it would've been much better if it was in better circumstances and we had gotten the win.
"The game was tough for me to get into because Rochdale got that goal early on so they knew what they had to hold onto.
"If we can start playing like we did in the first-half in the second-half we are going to be hard to stop in this league."
Lastly, the new number ten commented on his fitness with little match action so far this season.
"I feel fit and like any professional when you get your chance you need to perform, so I always make sure I'm ready when called upon."

Indiana Basketball: Archie Miller Provides Updates on Team | Seniors Green and Davis
August 29, 2019 Mike Schumann IUBB 3
Indiana basketball fans don't get to hear much from head coach Archie Miller during the offseason. It has now been over five months since the 2018-19 season concluded, with only one public appearance during that span.
That changed this week when the third year leader of the IU program met with the media and spoke to a crowd at Evansville Harrison High School.
Miller shared thoughts on the development of each player on the 2019-20 roster, and his expectations for them for the upcoming season.
Seniors Devonte Green and De'Ron Davis face the specter of becoming the first four year players at IU since 1972 to have never played in the NCAA Tournament.
That is a fact that both players are aware of and spoke about with reporters as the 2018-19 season ended.
"I definitely don't want to be one of the only classes to not make the tournament in four years," Davis said. "That just starts with us. I'm gonna stress that all year."
Miller spoke about each of his two seniors and his team as a whole on Tuesday night.
MILLER ON THE 2019-20 TEAM
"We have a group that is going to have to do things in a certain way to be successful. We have to have a group that really maximizes a lot of areas."
"One is unbelievable togetherness and chemistry, which is a key to every team, but this team in particular has a chance to be really connected if we work hard it."
"The second thing is obviously from a basketball perspective, we're going to play a unique style with these guys, a little bit different than what we've been able to play here because we have some versatility with a lot of different types of guys. We have a bigger team, which is going to be unique to coach. But we're going to have to work hard at it here in the fall to put together a plan on both sides."
MILLER ON SENIOR GUARD DEVONTE GREEN
"Devonte is going to be required to do a lot for us this year."
"I think in years past we've tried to tame him and control him and make him something that at times you want him to be, and at times he can really explode and do some things where everyone is like Wow! He's going to need to be that guy more than the other guy for us this year."
"He's going to have to shoot the ball, score the ball, and make a lot of plays, and I'm sure he's very disappointed in me saying that publicly right now. When he gets the opportunity to take advantage of the rope, he takes all the rope he can get."
"But with great responsibility, he'll have his own challenges to deal with. But we need Devonte to be a very, very focal part of what we're doing."
MILLER ON SENIOR FORWARD DE'RON DAVIS
"De'Ron really didn't get a fair crack at it physically last year. He tears his Achilles basically New Year's Day of his sophomore year. That is a hard injury for anybody, and let alone a big carrying a lot of weight. He wasn't even 100 percent all year."
"As he got into November and December we thought if he can just play a little bit, we felt one year later after the injury maybe in Big Ten play maybe he could give us some more. He was actually ready earlier, and could not find a way to get over that injury bug. His ankle and Achilles both bothered him. He ends up sitting three weeks in January which hurt us, and then once he came back in February he gave us a good look."
"Now, his challenge is his conditioning level. He's over the injury, now he's got to get into the best shape of his life and if he does that he'll have the best year of his career, which we just talked about to him today. He looks different, he feels better, and I think as we head towards October 1, he needs to be the slimmest he can be, the most agile that he can be in order to get the best from him. So we're working with him on that."
