Vice President Pence told U.S. troops to "stay sharp" and "be ready" on Friday in the face of an increasing threat from North Korea. "Now more than ever your commander-in-chief is depending on you to be ready. Stay sharp, mind your mission," Pence said at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. "Anyone who would threaten our nation should know that America always seeks peace, but if we are forced to defend ourselves or our allies, we will do so with military power that is effective and overwhelming. And those gathered here at Minot Air Force Base will play a critical role again," he said. The base would play a critical role in the face of an attack, as it houses 26 B-52 bombers and 150 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) sites. Read more . . .
Public Support for US Military Remains High, but . . .
In the 21st century, America has lost its trust in institutions. A quick perusal of Gallup's data shows that trust in every major national institution has been on the wane since 2000. Except, of course, for the military. As of this year, Gallup reports that 72 percent of Americans polled had a lot of confidence in America's armed forces. Read more . . .
The brain-tissue biorepository (the VA National PTSD Brain Bank) supports research on the causes, progression, and treatment of PTSD. The bank is responsible for tissue acquisition and preparation, diagnostic assessment, and storage. It's currently storing tissue from 168 brains, most of which are from people once diagnosed with PTSD. Many of the other donors had major depressive disorder. Other brains are from healthy controls. More than 40 of the brains are those of veterans, about 75 percent of whom had PTSD. Most of the veterans who donated brains to the bank served in the Gulf War. Read more . . .
Researchers have known for a while that stress can play a major role in the gut microbiome, affecting bacteria growth and eventually leading to inflammation and mental-health issues like depression and anxiety. But a new study took things a step further, discovering a bacteria trio that might also function as a diagnostic tool for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). "Our study compared the gut microbiomes of individuals with PTSD to that of people who also experienced significant trauma but did not develop PTSD," said lead researcher Stefanie Malan-Müller, PhD, in a press release. "We identified a combination of three bacteria—Actinobacteria, Lentisphaerae, and Verrucomicrobia—that were different in people with PTSD." In the study, those with PTSD had much lower levels of the three bacteria varieties than those who experienced trauma but didn't develop the disorder. Additionally, those who dealt with trauma in their younger years had low levels of two of the three types as well. Read more . . .
The Government Accountability Office will review the way the Department of Veterans Affairs treats patients who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other combat-related conditions. At the request of Reps. Mike Coffman, R-CO., and Ann McLane Kuster, D-N.H., the government's top watchdog agency agreed Sept. 27 to study how heavily VA relies upon powerful psychotropic drugs to treat patients. Both Coffman and Kuster have received numerous complaints from veteran constituents, who contend that VA relies upon psychotropic medications far too often. Both lawmakers, and their colleagues on Capitol Hill as well, are concerned that use of the medications could be a contributing factor to the alarming rate of suicides among veterans. They cite the cases of two Colorado veterans who were prescribed the drugs by VA. One later committed suicide and the other was reported missing for several days. Read more . . .
How Does Your VA Medical Facility Rank?
Many of the worst VA hospitals in the country last year remain among the worst this year, according to internal rankings released Wednesday by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Nearly a dozen of the medical centers who received one out of five stars in quality ratings this year received the same low score in 2016. They include three veterans' hospitals in Tennessee — in Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Memphis, where threats to patient safety have skyrocketed in recent years. Also among them is the Phoenix VA, where veterans died waiting for care touching off a national scandal in 2014. Read more . . .

Half sports car, half boat: Amphibious car defines versatility
Photo series captures bond between old cars and owners
Honda expected to finally bring back the S2000 sports car
The $275,000 CAMI Hydra Spyder is an impressive sports car/boat, that costs more than some Ferraris
by Clayton Seams | May 12, 2014
CAMI Hydra Spyder
Handout, CAMI
Many car manufacturers advertise the versatility of their models, but as far as we can tell, most cars can only drive on land, leaving 70.8% of the Earth's surface unreachable. But CAMI (Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International) offers a truly versatile sports car/boat for the multitudes who love amphibious driving but are tired of their aging Amphicars.
It's often said with derision that a bad sports car handles like a boat. But in this instance, that's kind of the point. The CAMI Hydra Spyder seats four people and is (obviously) a convertible. The Hydra Spyder is composed of an elaborately formed aluminum hull and a fiberglass top section to reduce weight. Like the Titanic, the brochure states in bold letters that the Hydra Spyder is unsinkable. Why hasn't Top Gear done an epic race with this car yet?
Motivation comes from a 6.0-litre LS2 V8 that drives 400 horsepower through the front wheels. All those aquatic ponies are good enough for a tested top speed of 46 knots on water, but CAMI says that with a longer run, it could possibly achieve 60 knots. We can't wait to hear this zero to 60 time. On land, the Hydra Spyder is no lazy riverboat and can accelerate past 200 km/h. CAMI says it has enough power to go 240 km/h, but the fact that the company hasn't actually driven the car at this speed makes us think the car might be a bit "floaty" at speed.
Oddly enough, the only transmission available is a five-speed manual. One does have to wonder where they found a front-drive manual transmission capable of handling 400 horsepower. And given its amphibious capabilities, it's rather impressive that the Hydra Spyder weighs only 1,770 kg.
If owning a speedboat, a truck to tow it with and a sports car for the weekends isn't in the cards, give CAMI a call and order up a Hydra Spyder. The list price is $275,000, which puts it up against some very stiff competition. But can a Ferrari 458 take you fishing in the middle of a lake?
Other notable models in the CAMI lineup include an amphibious bus, motorhome, and a Ford Excursion-based "yacht tender." Prices are firmly in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" neighborhood with the bus and motorhome retailing for $379,000 and $1.2-million, respectively.

This page describes how to listen for and handle events fired by a chart.
Every chart defines its own events, and the documentation for that chart should describe when each event is fired, what it means, and how to get back any information associated with the event. This page describes how to register to receive events from a chart, and how to handle them.
There is one event that any selectable chart should fire: the select event. However, the behavior and meaning of this event is defined by each chart.
It is important to note that the chart events are separate and distinct from the standard DOM events.
To register your event handlers, you call google.visualization.events.addListener() or addOneTimeListener() with the name of the chart exposing the event, the string name of the event to listen for, and the name of the function to call when that event is fired. Your function should accept a single parameter that is the event that was fired. This event can have custom information about the event, as described in the chart documentation.
Important: If your chart exposes a ready event, you should always wait for that event to be fired before you try to send methods or receive events from the chart. These charts might work before they throw a ready event, but that behavior is not guaranteed.
// Create a table chart on your page.
Note that this will only register to listen for events for this specific table object; you can only register to receive events from a specific object.
// Pass in a function definition.
// google.visualization.table exposes a 'page' event.
The parameter passed in to your handler will have a property that should be documented for the chart. For an example of a chart that exposes event information this way, see the Table chart's page event.
Some events instead change a property of a global object, which you can then request. A common example of that is the "select" event, which is fired when a user selects a part of a chart. In this case, the code must call getSelection() on the chart to learn what the current selection is. More information is given on the select event below.
// orgChart is my global orgchart chart variable.
// Notice that e is not used or needed.
As mentioned previously, any chart that can be selected should fire a "select" event that works in a standard way to let you retrieve the values of the selected item in the chart. (However, there is no absolute requirement that a chart behave this way; check the documentation for your chart).
The select event does not pass any properties or objects to the handler (your function handler should not expect any parameters to be passed to it).
The chart should expose the method getSelection(), which returns an array of objects describing the selected data elements. These objects have the properties row and column. row and column are the row and column indexes of the selected item in the DataTable. (Selection events describe the underlying data in the graph, not HTML elements in the chart.) To get the data of the item selected, you'll have to call DataTable.getValue() or getFormattedValue().
If both row and column are specified, the selected element is a cell. If only row is specified, the selected element is a row. If only column is specified, the selected element is a column.
The chart should expose the method setSelection(selection) to change the selection in the underlying table and select the corresponding data in the chart. The selection parameter that is an array similar to the getSelection() array, where each element is an object with properties row and column. The row property defines the index of the selected row in the DataTable, and the column property defines the index of the selected column in the DataTable. When this method is called, the chart should visually indicate what the new selection is. The implementation of setSelection() should not trigger a 'select' event.
Some charts might not trigger a 'select' event, and some charts may support only entire row selection or entire column selection. The documentation of each chart defines the events and methods it supports.
Multiselection is handled differently in different charts (some don't even allow it).
In order to read the selected data, you'll need to call DataTable.getValue() in your handler; the simplest way to enable that is to make the DataTable object global.
Note that the table chart only fires row selection events; however, the code is generic, and can be used for row, column, and cell selection events.
// a single message from all of them.
Most charts are rendered asynchronously; all Google charts throw a ready event after you call draw() on them, indicating that the chart is rendered, and ready to return properties or handle further method calls. You should always listen for the ready event before trying to call methods on it after calling draw().
The ready event does not pass any properties to the handler (your function handler should not expect any parameters to be passed to it).
The chart should fire the ready event after the chart is ready for interaction. If the drawing of the chart is asynchronous, it is important that the event is fired when interaction methods can actually be called, and not just when the draw method ends.
Adding a listener to this event should be done before calling the draw() method, because otherwise the event might be fired before the listener is set up and you will not catch it.
By calling interaction methods before the ready event is fired, you risk that these methods will not work properly.
The ready event handler is not passed any parameters.
Charts should throw an error event when they encounter some sort of error, to enable you to handle it gracefully. The event handler is passed a description of the error, as well as custom event properties specific to each chart. You should subscribe to this event right after instantiating the chart to trap any errors that might occur in later steps.
You can use the goog.visualization.errors helper functions to help you display any errors gracefully to the user.
id [Required] - The ID of the DOM element containing the chart, or an error message displayed instead of the chart if it cannot be rendered.
message [Required] - A short message string describing the error.
detailedMessage [Optional] - A detailed explanation of the error.
options [Optional]- An object containing custom parameters appropriate to this error and chart type.
The following example demonstrates both getSelection() and setSelection(). It synchronizes the selection between two charts that use the same data table. Click on either chart to synchronize the selection in the other chart.
// Create our two charts.
// When the table is selected, update the orgchart.
// When the orgchart is selected, update the table chart.

THE EQUALIZER is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award® nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah ("Chicago," "Bessie") as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn.
McCall presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer – an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who's also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption.
Robyn's clandestine work and her personal life collide when her smart and observant daughter, Delilah, and her aunt Vi, who lives with Robyn to help her balance life as a working mother, discover her secret career as a vigilante.
While Robyn contends with uncertainty at home, she is joined in her pursuit of justice by Melody "Mel" Bayani, an edgy bar owner and sniper from Robyn's past; and Harry Keshegian, a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker.
As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, she sometimes works with Marcus Dante, an NYPD detective who once sought to uncover her identity, but now respects the need for Robyn's type of justice even as he often questions her methods.
The third season premieres Sunday, Oct. 2 (8:30-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and is available live and on demand on the CBS app and Paramount+.

Washington Post on the American Revolution: The Fathers Blew It.
Actually, that the thesis not of the editor of the Washington Post but of an op-ed by Paul Pirie that appeared in that paper yesterday (3 July). Mr. Pirie, a Canadian and self-described "former historian" who argues that it was mistake for the Thirteen Colonies to have rebelled against British rule. He cites a variety of statistics demonstrating the success of Canada and Australia as societies and economies as proof that the Thirteen Colonies should have remained in the British Empire and evolved towards Dominion status. (Of course, it's not clear that the British would have invented Dominion status save for the fear of a repeat of the American Revolution). Pirie also overlooks that fact that some US states did eliminate slavery at the time of the American Revolution– the New England states certainly acted before Upper Canada took its first step towards the gradual elimination of slavery.
As you would expect, Pirie's well-timed and provocative piece has generated plenty of controversy on the blogosphere. See here, here, and here. US conservatives have attacked the piece and have accused Pirie of being disloyal to the United States.
Pirie's argument is broadly similar to one I made a few years ago in 'Canadian Progress and the British Connection: Why Canadian Historians Seeking the Middle Ground Should Give 2 1/2 Cheers for the British Empire'. In Contesting Clio's Craft: new Directions and Debates in Canadian History. Ed. by Chris Dummitt and Michael Dawson (London: Institute for the Study of the Americas, 2009). It would have been nice had he mentioned my piece, but I know that space is at a premium in a newspaper piece.
I still have no idea who Paul Pirie is. There is a comedian of the same name in the UK but that's clearly not the same individual.
Anyway, Happy Independence Day to my American readers.
P.S. Over at the Junto blog, Ken Owen explains why as a Brit he is well situated to teach the American Revolution to US college students.

Was the American Revolution an Economic Disaster?
According to economic historians Jeffrey Williamson and Peter Lindert:
The American Revolution itself, like the revolutions in France and Russia and the waves of independence in Latin America in the early 19th century and in Africa and Asia after the Second World War, delivered negative economic shocks...The new estimates imply that America's real income per capita dropped by about 22% over the quarter century 1774-1800, a decline almost as steep as during the Great Depression between 1929 and 1933, and certainly longer…What caused such sustained income losses?
The authors go on to list a number of ways in which the Revolution harmed the American economy. Canadian readers will be particularly interested in this factor.
…The third major negative shock involved a crisis at the top, and it could have caused much greater income losses. America's urban centres were damaged by British naval attacks, by their occupation, and by the eventual departure of skilled and well-connected loyalists. New York, Charleston, and Savanna were not free of Loyalists and waves of recriminations until 1783. An estimated 60,000 free persons (3.1% of the free population) and 15,000 slaves (3.6 of the slave population) had left by the early 1790s. Loyalist claims presented to His Majesty for losses in American rebellion came to $1,053,024 or about 0.6% of the 1774 income of the 13 colonies.
You can read a summary of the paper here. The full paper is: Lindert, Peter H and Jeffrey G Williamson (2011), "American Incomes Before and After the Revolution", NBER Working Paper 17211.
This research in fascinating. Many Canadians are of the view that it would have been far better had the dispute over British taxation of the colonies been solved with some sort of compromise and that the United States ought to have achieved independence from Britain gradually and peacefully on the Canadian model.

It is pretty clear that the Revolution was bad for the American economy in the short term. I'm not certain whether we can say the same thing about its long-term consequences. It seems to me that Independence from Britain produced cultural and institutional shifts that accelerated economic growth in the longer term. As Gordon S. Wood argues in The Radicalism of the American Revolution, the revolution was about far more than Home Rule–it was about who would rule at home as well. The Revolution helped to make the country less hierarchical and more egalitarian, and as Lindert and Williamson themselves note, "the new institutional view of development views inequality as a barrier to pro-growth institutions and policies (Engerman and Sokoloff 1997)". The Revolution also produced modest improvements in the status of women and a fall in the birth rate, which also would have influenced growth patterns. The republican ideology also provided an additional rationale for state investment in higher education and we know from studies in modern developing countries that increasing literacy rates is one of the best things a country can do to encourage growth. As Morton Horowitz showed, the legal break with Britain also allowed American judges to reform the common law in ways that departed from British precedent and accelerated economic growth. Most importantly, political independence helped to insulate the United States from some of the consequences of British imperial wars. For instance, the United States did not enter WWI until 1917 and was thus able to rake in big profits from three years of neutrality. Canada, Newfoundland, and the British West Indies, in contrast, assumed the burdens of this conflict the moment Britain declared war on their behalf.
Hat tip to Marginal Revolution.

My Teaching This Week
I teach a Canadian history survey course that is designed for first-year students. The course is designed to teach them about both Canada's past before 1867 and about the study of history at the university level. Normally, there are two lectures per week. This week, however, I held tutorials during one of the normal lecture slots.
On Monday, I delivered a lecture on the impact of the American Revolution on British North America. Our tutorial on Wednesday looked at the history of slavery in Canada. We discussed slaveholding by First Nations, the enslavement of First Nations individuals by whites, and the smaller number of Black slaves brought into New France and the British colonies. The student will be completing an assignment about a Portuguese-born Black slave named Angélique who was executed for arson in Montreal in 1734.
In my fourth-year seminar, our theme this week was economic change in the 1840s and 1850s. We began the seminar by discussing Adam Shortt, "General Economic History, 1841-67" in vol. 5 of Canada and Its Provinces. This reading gave the students a sense of the overall developments of the period. We then moved on to some more modern interpretations of the period. Lawrence H. Officer and Lawrence B. Smith, "The Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty of 1855 to 1866" The Journal of Economic History 28 (1968): 598-623 and Peter Baskerville, "Americans in Britain's Backyard: The Railway Era in Upper Canada, 1850-1880" Business History Review 55 (1981): 314-336. We then took our customary coffee break, after which we listened to excellent student presentations on the lives and times of two important individuals, Isaac Buchanan, a Canadian merchant, and Sir Samuel Cunard, the founder of the great steamship line.

Our discussion was wide-ranging and touched on important themes in the history of technology, international trade (hence the picture of a Montreal wharf), and Canadian-American relations. We also talked about how the rich get rich. Do they do it entirely through hard work and their own unassisted efforts? Or do they sometimes use subsidies and other help from the government to grow their firms? Next week's seminar is entitled "Ideology". We shall look at how people in an age dominated by classical liberalism justified an increasing number of interventions by government in the economy.

Thomas Paine and the Rights of Hindus
I would like to draw people's attention to a piece by historian J. M. Opal in Common-place, "Common Sense and Imperial Atrocity: How Thomas Paine saw South Asia in North America". Opal argues that Paine understanding of British policy in the Thirteen Colonies was influenced by the ongoing British debate about British misrule and atrocity in India.
If Opal's interpretation is correct, it means that Paine saw the whites of the Thirteen Colonies and Hindu and Muslim populations of India as co-victims of the British Empire.
I found Opal's argument interesting in light of a book I have purchased and plan to read this weekend, David Armitage's The Declaration of Independence: a Global History.
The picture of Paine is from the Library of Congress (see here) and is in the public domain.

A simple, cost-effective recipe to uplift education in underprivileged areas
Oct 31,2018 - Last updated at Oct 31,2018
An investigative report into the situation of schools in the peripherals by The Jordan Times, published this week, revealed how dire the picture is: two-shift schools, crowded classrooms, shortage of teachers, near-collapse buildings, you name it.
But that is curable. A few millions that can even be secured through grants can solve the problem or a good part of it. What actually needs a generation to change is not taking the horse to water, but making it drink.
In the most recent Tawjihi results, released in August of this year, 63 per cent of students in the North Badia failed the general education exam. This is good news, by the way, because related 2016 data show that 34 schools in the Northeast Badia did not have a single student that passed the exam. In 2016 the area had an 82 per cent failure rate. Statistics from previous years are no less depressing.
The most alarming description of the situation came from a teacher who has served in the district, recalling how financially challenged and poorly educated students were "indifferent to learning".
As a former school teacher who has taught in remote areas, this writer claims to know what it takes to make a difference to these people's educational experience and attitude to school. The basic ingredient is this recipe is to make sure that these youngsters and their parents know that we care.
Second, improve the school environment and make it as attractive as possible, including through offering meals, sports facilities, heating in the winter and free rides to schools. It is also conducive to empower NGOs, which can help in this endeavour.
To be fair, there have been efforts by all stakeholders towards that end, by both the government and volunteers. The Madrasati initiative, launched and overseen by Her Majesty Queen Rania, has been a breath of fresh air in this regard.
Third and most important is the teacher. The practice for decades has been to appoint new graduates in underprivileged peripheral communities: young, inexperienced people who can easily develop a negative attitude towards their job, feeling that they are there because they do not have "wasta" to serve in "civilisation". Met with an already frustrated generation of learners in neglected parts of the country, it is left to your imagination to picture how the learning process would go.
What if we incentivise a better quality of teachers to voluntarily teach in these low-achieving schools? We can even do better: We can make the best teachers compete for the job. What is required is to have in place a package of irresistible incentives: A significant financial allowance, free-of-charge housing while in service and a plot of land, state land, as a gift after serving, say, for five years, with a zero-interest loan to build a house.
The better results they achieve with their students, the more generous the incentives are, in a transparent manner and a clear set of rules. These may include allowing best achieving teachers to buy cars exempted from fees and taxes. Even teachers who are members of the targeted communities can receive these treats if their results are satisfactory.
In addition to the fact that these incentives are cost effective, they are prone to change the general mood in underdeveloped communities and create a positive attitude to learning, teachers and the state. There will be an immediate shift from feeling neglected and marginalised to privileged and fortunate.

A BRAVE AND CUNNING PRINCE
THE GREAT CHIEF OPECHANCANOUGH AND THE WAR FOR AMERICA
by James Horn ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 2, 2021
An accomplished work of scholarly detection that plays out against the background of the English colonization of Virginia.
Opechancanough, the center of Virginia historian Horn's narrative, was abducted from his Chesapeake Bay homeland by Spanish sailors in the 1550s and taken to Mexico and Spain, where he met King Philip II. Recorded in the Spanish annals as Paquiquineo, a name simplified as Don Luis, he converted to Catholicism and promised to help the Spanish establish a colony on Powhatan lands, the site of a tight confederacy of Native nations. After returning there, however, he organized the massacre of Jesuit priests who had established a mission not far from present-day Richmond. The brother of the king, and in the line of royal succession, Opechancanough then mounted a long war of resistance against the English. Horn ventures two potentially controversial suggestions: first, that Don Luis and Opechancanough were one and the same, since some historians have argued that they were not; and second, that Opechancanough and his elite band of warriors were responsible for the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, long a matter of historical speculation. He provides convincing evidence for both assertions, building on a portrait of Virginia and its neighbors that, at the time of the European arrival, was the site of a sophisticated political and economic network whose participants were well aware of distant events and who coordinated to fight the newcomers. Some familiar figures appear, including John Smith and Pocahontas, on both of whom Horn sheds new light as players in a drama that would unfold over decades. He portrays Opechancanough as a man who, having seen the subjugation of Native peoples and the enslavement of Africans in Mexico, knew exactly what was coming on those English ships and fought to prevent their successful settlement—which, thanks to both the divisions of the English civil war and Opechancanough's fierce fighting, almost didn't happen.

A KINGDOM STRANGE
An engaging childhood memoir and a deeply affectionate tribute to the author's parents.
THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE LAUGHING
by Jacqueline Winspear ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 10, 2020
The bestselling author recalls her childhood and her family's wartime experiences.
Readers of Winspear's popular Maisie Dobbs mystery series appreciate the London investigator's canny resourcefulness and underlying humanity as she solves her many cases. Yet Dobbs had to overcome plenty of hardships in her ascent from her working-class roots. Part of the appeal of Winspear's Dobbs series are the descriptions of London and the English countryside, featuring vividly drawn particulars that feel like they were written with firsthand knowledge of that era. In her first book of nonfiction, the author sheds light on the inspiration for Dobbs and her stories as she reflects on her upbringing during the 1950s and '60s. She focuses much attention on her parents' lives and their struggles supporting a family, as they chose to live far removed from their London pasts. "My parents left the bombsites and memories of wartime London for an openness they found in the country and on the land," writes Winspear. As she recounts, each of her parents often had to work multiple jobs, which inspired the author's own initiative, a trait she would apply to the Dobbs character. Her parents recalled grueling wartime experiences as well as stories of the severe battlefield injuries that left her grandfather shell-shocked. "My mother's history," she writes, "became my history—probably because I was young when she began telling me….Looking back, her stories—of war, of abuse at the hands of the people to whom she and her sisters had been billeted when evacuated from London, of seeing the dead following a bombing—were probably too graphic for a child. But I liked listening to them." Winspear also draws distinctive portraits of postwar England, altogether different from the U.S., where she has since settled, and her unsettling struggles within the rigid British class system.

by Ron Chernow ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 26, 2004
A splendid life of an enlightened reactionary and forgotten Founding Father.
"In all probability," writes financial historian/biographer Chernow (Titan, 1998, etc.), "Alexander Hamilton is the foremost political figure in American history who never attained the presidency, yet he probably had a much deeper and lasting impact than many who did." Indeed, we live in a Hamiltonian republic through and through, and not a Jeffersonian democracy. Many of the financial and tax systems that Hamilton proposed and put in place as the nation's first treasury secretary are with us today, if in evolved form, as Chernow shows; and though Hamilton was derided in his time as being pro-British and even a secret monarchist, Chernow writes, he was second only to George Washington in political prominence, at least on the practical, day-to-day front. The author wisely acknowledges but does not dwell unduly on Washington's quasi-paternal role in Hamilton's life and fortunes; unlike many biographies that consider Hamilton only in Washington's shadow, this one grants him a life of his own—and a stirring one at that, for Hamilton was both intensely cerebral and a man of action. He was, Chernow writes, a brilliant ancestor of the abolitionist cause; a native of the slave island of Nevis, he came to hate "the tyranny embodied by the planters and their authoritarian rule, while also fearing the potential uprisings of the disaffected slaves"—a dichotomy that influenced his views of ordinary politics. He was also constantly in opposition to things as they were, particularly where those things were Jeffersonian; as Chernow shows, Hamilton had early on been "an unusually tolerant man with enlightened views on slavery, Native Americans, and Jews," but became a crusty conservative near the end of his brief life (1755–1804), perhaps as a result of one too many personal setbacks at the hands of the Jeffersonians.
Literate and full of engaging historical asides. By far the best of the many lives of Hamilton now in print, and a model of the biographer's art.

THE DEATH OF THE BANKER
BOOK TO SCREEN
4 Adaptations To Stream in July


People always ask me "so what got you interested in doing this?" and I usually try starting out with "well I always loved tugboats and I really wanted to work on them". They stand there expectantly, nodding their heads, as a shadow of confusion flickers across their face; I can see them thinking this answer isn't good enough, it doesn't make sense, there must be something more to it. At this point, to dispel the awkwardness, I usually reach into my back pocket and add "and my dad and grandfather were both ship captains so… yeah." Of course! Their faces brighten. This must be the reason I got interested in working in the maritime industry. Because why would I get the idea all on my own?
I've said it before: my dad wanted me to have no part in going to sea; he shared nothing about his work with me when I was a child. We went to Cal Maritime reunions in the fall and rode on the BayDelta tugs to watch the air shows during Fleet Week; one year dad piloted the USS Jeremiah O'Brien for the Fleet Week festivities, I believe when I was a sophomore in high school, which was fun but at that point I think I was only just starting to understand what my father actually did to make money. I think he wanted to protect me from the parts that hurt you, like the emotional loneliness of going away to sea and the physical dangers of actually doing the work of moving cargo. When I was in middle school I liked the idea of being a marine biologist after visiting the marine sanctuaries at the Marin Headlands, and later in high school and then college, I vacillated between my interest in economics, then linguistics, and for about 3 seconds I even considered working for the Foreign Service when I chose my major in the Jackson School of International Studies. But eventually I turned my attention to shipping. I was on the rowing team at the University of Washington and I saw tugs pushing gravel barges through Lake Union on a daily basis. I had always loved being on the water, and it made sense after college to explore my options along the waterfront when I went home to Napa.
I got a job as a ship agent within a few months of graduation and was boarding cargo ships and handling the many needs of the owners and shippers and crew; when the ships arrived or departed the dock, the beautiful tractor tugs were always there, their masts peeking above the main deck; I'd wave at the operator in the wheelhouse and look over the edge down at the deck hand tending to the tag lines and hawsers. I longed to be there. I told my dad, and he was horrified. One night I told my two closest girlfriends while we were out at a bar in the East Bay that I wanted to be a deck hand on a tugboat. My boyfriend at the time literally turned to me, shook his head, and said "I don't want you to do that" (you can probably imagine just how that went over). My girlfriends thought it was great, even my mother thought it was a great idea, but just as many others thought it was crazy. Half the world seemed to be saying this isn't for you, forget it.
But I had made friends in the industry, and a core group of mentors encouraged me and fully enabled me to figure out how to get ready to take off on this adventure. The biggest obstacle had been the simple fact that I did not know it was possible; I had been led to believe that the process of getting what I wanted was not attainable to me. With a TWIC and MMC in hand, I interviewed and got a job and that was it – pretty simple, really. Once dad saw me go, he accepted and then embraced my decision. Yes, my connection to the history of the maritime industry is linked through my dad and granddad Simenstad (and my mother's father was a merchant mariner, a chief mate from Serbia who worked on a Yugoslavian-flagged ship which was blockaded into Shanghai harbor during and after the second World War, where he met my grandmother – that's another story entirely) but can't I be allowed to do it just because I love it?
Yes. Of course, with no \"can't-I-be-allowed\" necessary. At the moment, doing this is your choice and you love it, even with the danger and loneliness inherent in this choice. Be careful, I have to say! And know that you are very brave; as I see it, you are \"daring greatly.\" See/read the New York Times Bestseller, Daring Greatly, by Brene Brown, PhD, a social researcher. She has a TEDx talk. I really enjoyed reading your post!
That question is always the big, fat elephant in the room, until I give them an answer that will satisfy. I think it's difficult to convey to people who have never thought anything more about shipping than romantic ocean liners going down at tradgedy of an iceberg or rock. Shipping has been around for thousands of years and so sailors have been needed. Of course there was the mystery of the unknown on the spice route or searching for a new land, but it was a steady job.We have skills and knowledge that can only be taught on the job and experience. Out jobs are protected by laws because without us the U.S. Knows we would be vulnerable to outside forces. There is a huge responsibility, and I love the challenge.I remember being terrified, in high school, that after college I wouldn't find a job. I set out trying to think of jobs I knew of that were needed, nurse, lawyer, etc, but nothing that struck me as something I would be passionate about. I met a Columbia River Pilot when I was 18, and he told me he had always had a job working on the water since he was 19 years old. To me that sounded like enough, but when he told me there has never been a woman tug captain on the Columbia- it set the challenge. I've been going after this dream since then: yes, it's hard, and yes, there are many people that would love to see you give up because of the hard ships this job has, but there is something satisfying about doing something on your own and supported by the people who matter. I don't know if it's fair to ever answer completely why you do what you do. There are so many factors and the things that make me want my job one day could make me scorned the next. It's a pretty personal decision, I think, because it is always deeper than because you are related to or met someone, it's never as simple as that, but I wish sometimes that's the answer they would accept.


I've had some interest in photography since a friend of mine in high school had her own dark room. In college I took a course to learn the basics. Then things when quite for many years. My film SLR had issues that prevented much use so it was not until July 2007 when I got a higher end point and shoot camera. The rest as the say is history. Please enjoy some of my images in the galleries below.

Life full of promise cut short Slaying: The family and friends of Mary Caitrin Mahoney remember her energy and enthusiasm, and try to understand her death in a D.C. coffee shop.
Ellen Gamerman and Melody SimmonsTHE BALTIMORE SUN
WASHINGTON -- Caity Mahoney ran to the phone to call her friends. Chelsea Clinton, of all people, had just walked into Starbucks but could not find enough money for coffee. Before anyone could intervene, Caity reached into her pocket for change and bought the president's daughter a drink. Could they believe it -- she had treated the president's daughter to a cup of coffee?
It was such a Caity story, mainly because it was the kind of thing that just doesn't happen to ordinary people. Brimming with enthusiasm -- and 10 times the political junkie of any of her friends -- she thrilled at such encounters as a newcomer to Washington from her native Baltimore.
Ms. Mahoney's mother had just returned from a funeral home near Baltimore when she told this story yesterday.
It came to mind as she tried to describe her 25-year-old daughter, one of three young employees of a Starbucks who were shot to death Sunday night in the upscale Georgetown neighborhood.
"None of us are as active or as selfless as Caity was," said Mary Belle Annenberg, who had identified her daughter in a back room of the coffee shop on Monday.
"She had enormous promise, and that's the sadness."
Mary Caitrin Mahoney was found murdered execution-style, two bullet holes in her head.
Police are still seeking clues and a suspect in the incident, in which two other Starbucks employees -- Emory Allen Evans, 25, and Aaron David Goodrich, 18 -- were also fatally shot.
Security tapes from the nearby Four Seasons Hotel have been requested by detectives because a man speaking on a hotel telephone was overheard trying to reach his lawyers after the killings, a police source told the Associated Press.
Yesterday, Starbucks Corp. offered a $50,000 reward to find the killer.
In Washington, where Ms. Mahoney had worked for more than a year, and in Baltimore, where her family still lives, loved ones tried yesterday to put her ebullient life into words.
Ms. Mahoney was the one who never cried as a baby and who stopped eating meat as an adult because she felt sorry for the animals.
She was the one who gave leftover food to homeless people on her way home from her waitress job, who trekked across Alaska with her 74-year-old grandmother, who danced literally until dawn with friends most weekends.
She was the one who watched CNN every day, who included her cat's name in the greeting on her answering machine, who still became homesick every now and then and didn't mind admitting it.
"Why does God take the angels and leave the rest?" asked Molly Mahoney, her sister.
The question went unanswered yesterday in the Towson home of Ms. Mahoney's father and stepmother, Patrick and Virginia Mahoney, where her relatives made preparations for a memorial service.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday at McDonogh School in Owings Mills. In a memorial tribute, the family has established the Mary Caitrin Mahoney Fund at the school.
Ms. Mahoney grew up in the Baltimore area, standing out in her classes with her red hair, freckles and inquisitive nature.
She attended McDonogh and majored in women's studies at Towson University, graduating with honors in 1995.
She was the youngest in a family of six children blended by divorce and remarriage. Instead of tearing the family apart, those separations seemed to expand her family circle.
Ms. Mahoney was close to her older brother and sister, as well as to her three step-siblings. On Christmas and Thanksgiving, she typically shuttled between their homes.
"How do you respond?" asked her stepmother, Virginia Mahoney, who served as a victim witness coordinator for the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore several years ago.
"The horror of it is we lose a person who could have contributed to society and we still have whoever took her."
Ms. Mahoney delighted at the chance to break into Washington after having campaigned on the East Coast for Bill Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign.
She was one of the first interns to work at the Clinton White House. So excited about her job in the public liaison office, Ms. Mahoney was known to arrange and rearrange the tables, chairs and telephones to make sure everything looked perfect.
"She had this wonderful way of loving life, and she was very eager to be helpful," said Doris Matsui, the office's deputy director.
After her internship, Ms. Mahoney lived in Baltimore and worked at a series of coffee bars and restaurants while serving on the board of directors for a feminist bookstore, the 31st Street
Bookstore.
More than a year ago, she moved to her own efficiency apartment in the eclectic neighborhood of Adams Morgan, where she lived with her cat, Marlu. She had originally moved to Washington to live with a friend.
At the same time, Ms. Mahoney warmed to the job she had landed at Starbucks. Promoted to assistant manager two months ago, she would draft business plans on her computer at home, stop by the shop on her days off, and think nothing of working extra-long shifts.
Some of her best friends worked at the shop.
"We spent a lot of time just dreaming and talking," said Will Crawford, 26, a Starbucks assistant manager who had worked with Ms. Mahoney before she was transferred to the Georgetown shop.
Ms. Mahoney discovered last month that a fellow employee had stolen $300 from a cash register. Friends say she dreaded having to fire him but felt it was the only thing she could do.
Police would not confirm broadcast reports that investigators had searched the home of a former employee and interrogated him before dismissing him as a suspect.
Those close to Ms. Mahoney could not imagine anyone holding a grudge against her. Rather, they described her natural empathy.
One of the only times Ms. Mahoney sneaked around her mother's back, Mary Belle Annenberg said, was to return the extra clothes her mother had given her for a trip to Russia during high school. Instead of keeping them, Ms. Mahoney took them back to the store and exchanged them for presents for her host family.
Even as she relished her new life in Washington, Ms. Mahoney missed her family. After her grandmother recently bought her a 1994 silver Saturn -- Ms. Mahoney was still trying to master the stick shift -- she was excited because she could make it home to Baltimore more often.
She hoped that her promotion to assistant manager could catapult her to a top job with a Starbucks in Baltimore one day, and she planned to work just one more year in Washington before trying to return home.
Home has always exerted a pull. When Ms. Mahoney and a friend, Mary Hall, took a long-awaited drive across the country after college, they got only as far as Niagara Falls when Ms. Mahoney decided to turn around.
As she left, she gave her friend $500 to pay her share for the rest of the journey.
"She got homesick," said Ms. Hall, who befriended Ms. Mahoney when they were waitresses together at Cafe Diana, a now-defunct coffee shop in Baltimore. "She felt bad -- she wanted to go home to Baltimore. She gave me her money to go on ahead."
Still, Washington was a place where the political activism of her college years could still find its expression. At Towson, Ms. Mahoney considered herself an outspoken feminist and often organized rallies and discussion groups that centered on women's issues.
"She hated to see injustices done, particularly against women," said Leah Schofield, director of the Towson University Women's Center.
Ms. Mahoney had formed a women's issues discussion group that back in 1995 met once a week at the Women's Center to tackle such topics as domestic violence and organize Take Back the Night rallies against rape.
Although she jogged in the city before daylight on some mornings, she never seemed to fear for her own safety.
"If we had said, 'No, we don't want you to come home at 10 p.m. on the Metro,' and fussed with her about opening and closing and running in the dark, then she would probably be alive but she wouldn't be Caity," Ms. Annenberg said. "This is who we love."

The Chapel was once a riot of colour and imagery.
In the late 15th and early 16th centuries the walls were painted with a series of striking images. These all depicted the saints, the gates of heaven and hell, and other popular reflections on the afterlife. Following the Reformation, these images were banned, Elizabeth I passing Royal Injunction in 1559 demanding "removal of all signs of superstition and idolatry from places of worship".
In Stratford, that Royal injunction was received by the Corporation of Stratford and John Shakespeare, father of the playwright, who was Chamberlain of the Corporation. Surviving council records show that in 1563 John Shakespeare authorised payment of 2s for 'defasyng ymages in ye chappell'. Whether they were all covered at that time or at a later date is unknown. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and it is quite possible the paintings, or some of them, were still visible during his lifetime. Speculation also surrounds John Shakespeare's willingness to follow the orders he was given, with scholars long debating whether John and his family followed the Catholic faith the Reformation was out to suppress. What we do know is that rather than the paintings being defaced, they were largely limewashed over instead (only the face of the Archangel Michael in the Allegory of Death painting can be seen to have been clearly 'defaced' – literally scratched away). This limewashing actually served to protect the paintings, many of them in very fine detail.

This week's free game: "Commander Keen"
Mon., Dec. 21, 2015
This week's free game: "Commander Keen"
You've still got a few hours left to enter and win a free game through the Tech Deck's holiday promotion! Click here for the details.
Are you a gamer? Do you like free things? Of course you do!
We here at the Tech Deck are just like you: poor gamers looking for cheap entertainment. And nothing's cheaper than cost-free gaming. Each week, we'll bring you a title (or two or three) you can legally play at home without plopping down a single dollar. If you see games you think we should be featuring on the blog, email us at dang@spokesman.com or kiph@spokesman.com.
id Software was a four-member team in the early 1990s when developer John Carmack figured out how to render a side-scrolling game (like Super Mario Bros. 3) on the DOS system. The company first ported the Nintendo game, then set to work on their own intellectual property when it became clear their "Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement" wasn't going to be a huge seller (and might spawn legal action).
That game became Commander Keen, a franchise distributed through shareware that saw seven installments. The first, Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons, can be played for free through the good folks at Internet Archive by clicking below.
Click here to play Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons in your browser!
The goal of the first Commander Keen game is to recover the parts needed to repair your damaged spaceship on Mars. There's a large overworld you'll need to navigate, then press CTRL to enter a level. From there, it's simple platforming. Use the arrow keys to move, CTRL to jump, and CTRL and ALT at the same time to fire your blaster. Make sure you have ammo!
Scott Miller, founder of Apogee software, gave the small team at id $2,000 to complete work on Commander Keen, which eventually released as shareware in December 1990. The final of six shareware episodes, "Commander Keen in Aliens Ate My Babysitter!" released a year later.
id followed Keen with first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D in 1992. DOOM followed in 1993, and the company never looked back.
Carmack's latest project is series reboot DOOM, scheduled to release for consoles and PC next year. Romero is at work on an as-yet unnamed shooter. Romero's latest video game credit is for 2014's Techno Dash, a mobile game released by indie studio Hammerwing Studios.
Did you dress up as a spaceman as a kid? Ever get marooned on Mars? Let us know in the comments below, and check back next week for another free game.

One of the greatest joys of being a coach is witnessing former players experience success. Anthony Lamb, the 2018-19 America East Player of the Year, is doing just that. Anthony is currently averaging 21.4 PPG and 7.8 RPG as a junior at the University of Vermont. He lead the Catamounts to a regular season and conference tournament title this season, and will play the 4-seed, Florida State Seminoles in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday at 2:00pm EST. Make sure to tune in and watch! After coaching Anthony for four years, I wanted to dedicate the #CJJblog this week to him and outline what I believe makes him great. Enjoy!
Passion. Anthony shows great passion and is constantly learning. He quickly became a student of the game and fell in love with the sport of basketball at a young age. How do you gauge passion in a player?
Desire. Anthony always wants to be the best. He put in tremendous work off the court on his body to get into top physical condition. His desire to always improve rubbed off on his teammates as well. He is a true gym rat and always got in extra work before and after practice.
Screw peer pressure. He knows who he is and didn't surround himself with people who could interfere with that. He asked himself "Who can help me?" and spent time with those who could. Do you hang out with the right crowd?
Outstanding person. Anthony is a great person both on and off the court. He proved this from day one that I met him. Everything from his High School Senior Ball to how he interacts with his teammates, he does with class.
Lead by example. He always showed his teammates his dedication through his actions. Sprints and pacer drills in practice were where he shined brightest, which is unusual for a kid of his size (6'8" – 220 lbs). Anthony never took a day off and I could not be happier for him and the success he is experiencing today.
Did You Know? Coach Jim Johnson will be sharing his Leadership presentation at Smola Consulting Morning Wellness of Rochester on March 28th.

Health in New Zealand
Online Health Courses
If you're interested in working within the health system in New Zealand, then there is an abundance of courses available for you! New Zealanders can complete high-quality courses in several health areas, through Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and beyond, in a way that best suits you!
Whether you wish to be in a science lab working on the latest health science breakthroughs, or on the front line as an emergency health provider, there are plenty of career options in the health sector to choose from. As one of the most important industries in any country, the health sector in New Zealand has many vacancies.
The health system covers a huge range of areas, including:
Primary care organisations and general practitioners
Private and public hospitals
Public healthcare systems
DHBS (as set out by the ministry of health)
Medical advice organisations like Healthline
Training to work in any of these areas, whether it's as a nurse in the public health system or a medical receptionist helping patients with their health insurance, or even working with the accident compensation corporation advocating for victims, healthcare offers a valuable way to give back to the community and be an integral part of the New Zealand health service industry.
If you want to go into any of the more theoretical and mentally demanding career paths such as a medical physician or a health science researcher, you will most likely need multiple years of study to achieve this. But even if you are not so education inclined, there are plenty of opportunities to put your desire to help to practice.
These include jobs such as a Health Care Assistant, Registered Nurse, or Paramedic. These positions often only require a few years of study to be able to perform the required tasks.
In such an important industry, with so many broad positions available, the salary range in the New Zealand health industry ranges greatly. For example, a Paramedic salary may be between $45,000-$58,000 per year (and up to $75,000 or more with significant experience), but an experienced Pathologist salary is generally between $150,000-$216,000 per year. These differences often come with the level of education required to be qualified for the tasks required.
There are also some extremely high paying jobs in the health sector, with both a Diagnostic Radiologist salary and a Gynaecologist/Obstetrician salary earning above $600,000 per year with significant experience. However, most of these high earning jobs are very demanding and require a high level of education with post-graduate qualifications an absolute necessity.
With such a wide range of areas to cover, and so many health organisations working in conjunction with training organisations, you can really study in whatever way suits you best.
There are courses that qualify you to work with the New Zealand government administering immunisations to Kiwis across the country from Otago to Christchurch. Or there are courses that allow you to create specialised medical care and health advice for Maori communities. There are also courses that will put you on the frontline developing cures for illnesses like the novel coronavirus as they develop.
Many courses offer full-time and part-time study opportunities, and online study too, although if your course requires placement, you'll need to undertake vocational practice at a hospital such as St John's, not just online.
As previously mentioned, the broad range of health careers is also reflected in the differences in courses available to study. No matter if you just want to get a health assistant job, or are looking to hold a post-graduate degree in a highly specialised field of medicine, there are plenty of health courses for you to choose from.
Certificate in Health and Wellbeing
If you are interested in a short course such as one of the many healthcare assistant courses or just want to know how to better look after the health and safety of those around you, there are both online health courses and offline health course available. An option such as the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 4) is a great choice to get you started in the health industry.
Such a Certificate in Health is a great foundation to provide you with the knowledge that will be useful in a health care assistant role, but there are also other New Zealand Certificate Level 4 courses available for more specialised roles. These health assistant qualification courses offer a baseline of knowledge that you can build on with practical experience.
For the next step up in health courses, a Diploma level qualification may be the best option. Courses such as the Diploma in Health Science are a great way of either building on your previous certificate level course, but also to gain further insight into how best to care for patients. There are also more specialised courses such as aged care courses that give you more niche information that is specifically designed for giving care to a certain type of patient. These usually take between 18-24 months of full-time study, and can usually be completed online if you live a busy lifestyle.
A bachelor level course is usually a 3-year course that will teach you about multiple aspects of patient care, as well as give you access to further post-graduate study. These courses typically focus on theoretical scientific knowledge or prepare you to work as a Registered Nurse, or as an Emergency Paramedic. If you wish to become a medical practitioner you will need a bachelor level degree in a health science-related field to have the best start.
To reach the highest levels of health careers, as well as the salaries that come with them, you will need a postgraduate degree. Options such as the Doctor of Medicine, or others, are required for the most specialised of health careers. Most people who go into these fields often undertake life-long education and have to constantly up-skill to remain up to date with the latest technological and scientific updates and techniques.
What Skills Do you Need to Work in Health?
Working in health can be an extremely rewarding and challenging career. With plenty of career advancement opportunities provided by the many levels of education available, there will never be a dull moment. You will need to be empathetic, sympathetic, and able to relate to people from all kinds of backgrounds. Working with people in great pain or distress requires a calming influence, and the confidence to administer care without second-guessing your decisions.
