USF adds senior advisor on diversity and inclusion, announces additional actions to address societal racism
Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman
University of South Florida President Steven Currall announced a series of actions to reinforce USF's commitment to diversity and inclusion and further support the university's efforts to help end racism in society.
In a message to the university community, Currall announced that Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman, associate professor of sociology, will serve in a newly created role of senior advisor to the president and provost on diversity and inclusion. Hordge-Freeman will advise and support university leadership on plans to foster anti-racism, access, equity, cultural inclusivity and cultural intelligence. She will partner with university-wide groups working on related issues, such as curricular development, professional development of faculty members and staff and ensuring that hiring practices for administrators and faculty are free from bias.
Hordge-Freeman will work closely with USF Vice President of Institutional Equity Dr. Haywood Brown, who Currall announced has now been appointed to serve on USF's Executive Leadership Council, the university's top leadership team.
Currall also outlined several additional steps:
As part of USF's ongoing strategic initiative to increase spending with businesses owned by minorities, women and veterans, USF has updated language regarding standards of conduct for employees that encourages more supplier contracts for Black businesses and other diverse supplier categories. USF will also require a senior member of the Office of Supplier Diversity hold a voting role on the decision-making team for supplier opportunities of $75,000 and above. Several additional measures initiated by Currall to strengthen partnerships with Black businesses can be found here.
USF's Offices of Student Success and Admissions have begun developing targeted plans to attract more Black students to all three USF campuses, with many of the steps being introduced during the recruitment process for this fall's class. As an example, USF has expanded marketing efforts to prospective high school students in the seven-county Tampa Bay service area and will work to develop closer ties to selected high schools to strengthen the pipeline from local schools. USF, which enrolls more Black students than any other preeminent university in Florida, has earned national recognition for Black student success.
USF will embark on a university-wide initiative designed to give individuals an opportunity to candidly discuss matters of race. This series, first started on USF's St. Petersburg campus last year, involves creating "Dismantling Racism Study Circles," which are diverse groups of 10-14 individuals discussing all aspects of race and racism, including their personal experiences. Two trained facilitators of opposite gender and race will lead the conversations that take place over a six-week period. The participants will prioritize action plans, which may entail proposals to USF leadership.
USF's Office of Diversity, Inclusion & Equal Opportunity (DIEO) will hold a virtual forum this month titled "Black Lives & The Police" featuring a panel of individuals offering different perspectives regarding progressive policing.
Today's announcement follows a June message from Currall to students, faculty and staff that stated he and other university leaders would reflect on recent community unrest across America and examine how USF could expand upon and enhance initiatives to address racism.
"I hope you will join me in supporting these important actions as we continue to strive to fulfill our responsibility to provide leadership and demonstrate our active commitment to creating a civil, humane and compassionate society in which racism is not tolerated," Currall said in today's message. "The need for change is ongoing, and I will continue to provide you with updates as further actions are taken and progress is achieved."
Currall also noted he'll continue to meet with members of the Florida Legislature, several community-based advocacy organizations and representatives from USF's Black Leadership Network to further develop innovative strategies.
In addition, last month USF announced a $500,000 commitment to fund faculty research projects that explore the perpetuation of systemic racism in society that has resulted in economic inequities, social injustices, police violence and other issues.
Currall's full message to the USF community today is available here.

Affected employers will have a variety of wage-hour questions in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. The number and scope of the issues raised might well be practically endless. Here we address in very general ways the federal Fair Labor Standards Act topics that experience suggests will be among the most-pressing.
◊ What do we do about lost time records for work already performed but not yet paid?
If the only records of hours worked are lost or unusable, then there is no perfect solution. Recreate the most-accurate accounting you can under the circumstances. Perhaps the best approach is to have each employee make the best-possible estimate of his or her hours worked. You should obtain the employee's written acknowledgement of his or her best recollection and should include the employee's authorization allowing later corrections in worktime and pay should more accurate hours-worked information become available.
◊ How do we record employees' worktime without our electronic time clocks?
Employees may record all hours worked by using handwritten timesheets or by other means. To ensure accuracy, each employee should enter his or her own time and should record the actual times when the employee's work starts and stops each workday.
◊ As we recover, must we keep paying overtime on top of our other burdens?
There is no FLSA "emergency" exception that relieves the obligation to pay FLSA-required wages. Employees subject to the FLSA's overtime provision must receive overtime premium at a rate of at least 1.5 times their regular rates of pay for all hours worked over 40 in the employer's designated seven-day workweek(s).
Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement or some other contract or enforceable understanding might be due more in overtime compensation than the FLSA requires. Perhaps the terms of that agreement or understanding relax those requirements in emergencies. However, no such exception can override the FLSA's requirements.
◊ Can an employee volunteer to perform recovery services for us without pay?
The FLSA does not permit employees to "volunteer" work to their private-sector employer under any but the narrowest of circumstances. Employers considering any kind of unpaid "volunteer" services by their employees should carefully evaluate the legality of permitting this. Somewhat-different FLSA "volunteer" principles apply to public-agency employees in certain situations.
◊ Must we keep paying employees who are not working?
Under the FLSA, for the most part the answer is "no". FLSA minimum-wage and overtime requirements attach to hours worked in a workweek, so employees who are not working are typically not entitled to the wages the FLSA requires.
One possible difference relates to employees treated as exempt FLSA "white collar" employees whose exempt status requires that they be paid on a "salary basis". Generally speaking, if such an employee performs at least some work in the employee's designated seven-day workweek, the "salary basis" rules require that he or she be paid the entire salary for that particular workweek. There can be exceptions, such as might be the case when the employer is open for business but the employee decides to stay home for the day and performs no work. A U.S. Department of Labor opinion letter addressing these matters can be accessed here.
Also, non-exempt employees paid on a "fluctuating-workweek" basis under the FLSA normally must be paid their full fluctuating-workweek salaries for every workweek in which they perform any work. There are a few exceptions, but these are even more-limited than the ones for exempt "salary basis" employees.
◊ Can we charge time missed to vacation and leave balances?
The FLSA generally does not regulate the accumulation and use of vacation and leave. The salary requirements for exempt "white collar" employees can implicate time-off allotments under various circumstances. USDOL has provided some guidance on this topic in an opinion letter that is accessible here.
Again, however, what an employer may, must, or cannot do where paid leave is concerned might be affected by an employment contract, a collective bargaining agreement, or some policy or practice that is enforceable as a contract or under a state wage law.
Circumstances like these demonstrate what a strict and unforgiving law the FLSA can be.

For instance from Ministry of Education, National Qualifications Authority or National Equivalence Council.
Send the completed application form and supporting documents to the office.
Acceptance of offer -:Students accept by paying the deposit stated as per the offer letter. This confirms the student's place at the University and is also required for visa application. Submit your deposit of tuition fees along with a photocopy of your passport details page.
We strongly recommend that you visit your local doctor and have a medical check for the below mentioned conditions on 'COMPLETE MEDICAL TESTS IN MAURITIUS AND RECEIVE STUDENT VISA' before coming to Mauritius. If you are found to have infringed any of the above conditions whilst you are in Mauritius, the provisional entry permit will be cancelled and you will be required to leave Mauritius within two (2) weeks.
Once the documents have been sent to the Passport and Immigration Office (PIO), and that the application is successful, the PIO will notify UTM by sending an "Entry Permit to Mauritius" for a period of 3 months for the prospective student.
Once the Entry Permit is received by UTM, a scanned copy of the Entry Permit will be sent to the student by email and, once he/she is in Mauritius, the original entry visa will be handed over to him/her.
The student is also requested to produce to the Passport and Immigration Office within one month as from the date of his/her arrival, a medical certificate by any private Laboratory/Clinic/Hospital in Mauritius certifying that he/she is not suffereing from HIV,Hepatitis B, Heart disease and Chest Infection.
Once the Passport Office receives the Medical Tests which confirm that the student is not suffering from any of the diseases listed above, it will send the visa of the student to UTM. The duration of the visa will be normally for a minimum of one year, depending on the course chosen, and renewable every year, provided that the student is still registered with UTM the following year.

Monty Python star and film director Terry Jones has dementia
The comedy star and film director delivered one of Python's most famous lines: "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"
Friday 23 September 2016 14:07, UK
Image: Terry Jones' condition has affected his ability to speak
Monty Python star Terry Jones has been diagnosed with dementia.
The 74-year-old comedian is suffering from primary progressive aphasia, which affects his ability to speak.
Jones was one of the original members of the ground-breaking Python comedy team, which first appeared on television in 1969.
The shows ran for 45 episodes through the 1970s.
Image: Terry Jones (C) and the rest of the team in 2009
He directed the films Life Of Brian and The Meaning Of Life, and he co-directed Monty Python And The Holy Grail with Terry Gilliam.
John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman completed the troupe, which reunited most recently in 2014 for a series of shows.
Chapman died in 1989 at the age of 48.

Jones has the distinction of delivering possibly the most famous line in all of Python history, as Brian's mother Mandy in Life of Brian.
Monty Python Release World Cup Song
"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" is a line which has been voted the funniest in film history on two occasions.
Bafta Cymru has announced Jones is to receive a special award for outstanding contribution to film and television.
Image: Jones (R) in 'Whicker Island', a Python sketch from the 1970s
A spokesman for the comedian, who was born in Wales, said: "Terry has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia, a variant of frontotemporal dementia.
"This illness affects his ability to communicate and he is no longer able to give interviews.
"Terry is proud and honoured to be recognised in this way and is looking forward to the celebrations."
Jones has just completed his latest novel The Tyrant and the Squire.

Q: How to remove PATH variable on Ubuntu 14.04? I've export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin/lumen" in .bashrc and .bash_profile after export then lumen command not working,
Rasel Khan:~$ lumen
lumen: command not found
But if command type ~/.composer/vendor/bin/lumen in terminal then working, i want only when lumen command type in terminal then exactly same as screenshot.
 how can i fix this ?
see screenshot

A: Your problem will not be solved simply by unsetting PATH, as you'll still be left without a PATH that includes the necessary system directories.  When you set your own PATH, in most cases you will want to append your new entry to the old PATH variable, not replace it entirely, as you have done.
Set your PATH variable back to the system default by typing
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

and then go edit your .bashrc and .bash_profile to have the correct entry, which will be something like
export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"

Notice the variable is set to begin with the existing $PATH.  This way, you'll still have all the original system directories in your PATH, and your addition will be on the end.  Also note that I removed lumen from the end of your example, because lumen is apparently the name of the binary you are trying to execute, and your PATH should include only directories containing binaries, not the binaries themselves.

A: Exec this to get your system default:
grep _PATH /etc/login.defs

A:
The command could not be located because '/bin' is not included in the
  PATH environment variable.

This error means you overwrite your default path with the added PATH vairable above.
How to restore the old PATH?
The default PATH variable is defined in /etc/environment.
To restore the default PATH first delete the add line export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin/lumen" from your .bashrc
Then save and source using command:
source .bashrc

then delete from .bash_profile then save and source:
source .bash_profile

Now source /etc/environment to restore the default path
source /etc/environment

Now your default PATH is restored, you can check by running echo $PATH
Adding new path to PATH variable
Now to add a new PATH use:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin/

EDIT: The error here raises because we add the binary itself so check the above line
Add the line to .bashrc then save and source:
source .bashrc

Check running $PATH you should see your new added path.

A: the PATH stores all the places where the terminal looks for your applications/scripts etc... If you set the PATH to some "unfriendly" directory, the system will not be able to find /bin/sudo and others. You will have to type the whole path like /bin/sudo. The best way to fix this is to open your bash_profile and insert this line: export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games I think changing the profile will work just after the next reboot, so do this and after that use the command export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games to fix it for the current session.
"Protip :D :D"
if you want to check for your own programs in a directory "/home/username/foo/bin", just add this way to your PATH and you will be able to call the programs stored there just by their names
Hope it helps :)

Q: How to merge multiple inputs (four) into neural network for binary image classification? How would I structure a neural network for binary classification with four inputs (i.e., instead of feeding in one full image, I want to feed in four equally sized patches/tiles of the image that are labeled either class 1 or class 2).
My current implementation follows a simple sequential model for binary classes and I would like to convert this to the scheme as mentioned above.
train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
        r'MY\\TRAINING\\PATH',
        classes = ['Class1', 'Class2'],
        target_size=(100, 100),
        batch_size=16,
        shuffle=False,
        class_mode='binary')

validation_generator = validation_datagen.flow_from_directory(
        r'MY\\VALIDATION\\PATH',
        classes = ['Class1', 'Class2'],
        target_size=(100, 100),
        batch_size=8,
        # Use binary labels
        shuffle=False,
        class_mode='binary')

model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
                                    tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(8, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(100, 100, 3)),
                                    tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
                                    tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(16, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
                                    tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
                                    tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
                                    tf.keras.layers.Flatten(),
                                    tf.keras.layers.Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
                                    ])

As an example, the file structure of my data would look like this:
├── training
│   ├── Class1_Quadrant1
│   │   ├── IMG_1.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_2.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_3.jpg
│   │   ├── etc.jpg
│   ├── Class1_Quadrant2
│   │   ├── IMG_1.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_2.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_3.jpg
│   │   ├── etc.jpg
│   ├── Class1_Quadrant3
│   │   ├── IMG_1.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_2.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_3.jpg
│   │   ├── etc.jpg
│   ├── Class1_Quadrant4
│   │   ├── IMG_1.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_2.jpg
│   │   ├── IMG_3.jpg
│   │   ├── etc.jpg

and have the same exact structure for my validation set.
Ideally, something similar to this image if it helps:

EDIT:
# Input Model 1
input1 = Input(shape=(100, 100, 3))
conv11 = Conv2D(32, kernel_size = 4, activation = 'relu')(input1)
pool11 = MaxPooling2D(pool_size = (2, 2))(conv11)
conv12 = Conv2D(16, kernel_size = 4, activation = 'relu')(pool11)
pool12 = MaxPooling2D(pool_size = (2, 2))(conv12)
conv12 = Conv2D(8, kernel_size = 4, activation = 'relu')(pool11)
pool12 = MaxPooling2D(pool_size = (2, 2))(conv12)
flat1 = Flatten()(pool12)
dense1 = Dense(1)(flat1)

# ... same structure repeated up to Input 4

# Merge All Input Models
merge = concatenate([flat1, flat2, flat3, flat4])

# Dense layers
hidden1 = Dense(1, activation = 'relu')(merge)
hidden2 = Dense(1, activation = 'relu')(hidden1)
hidden3 = Dense(1, activation = 'relu')(hidden2)
hidden4 = Dense(1, activation = 'relu')(hidden3)
output = Dense(1, activation = 'sigmoid')(hidden4)
model = Model(inputs = [input1, input2, input3, input4], outputs = output)

# Lastly my data comes from

ValueError: Failed to find data adapter that can handle input: (<class 'list'> containing values of types {"<class 'tensorflow.python.keras.preprocessing.image.DirectoryIterator'>"}), <class 'NoneType'>

A: It is impossible with Sequential API (every layer should have one input): https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/keras/sequential_model
Try Functional API: https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/keras/functional

A: I suspect you will have to create a model that has 4 inputs, one input  per image quadrant. Then each input can be processed independently by layers as needed. Then flatten the outputs of each of these input streams and concatenate them. Then process the concatenate layer output with a dense layer with 1 node.
the code below is sort of an idea about how to go about generating the inputs.
Have a training directory with sub directories that are the classes and put the images into those sub directories. Example below shows how to take images from the ImageDataGenerator and separate the images into quadrants.
# function below splits an image into 4 quadrants and returns them in imgq
def quad_split (img, width, height):
    mid_width=width//2
    mid_height=height//2
    imgq=[]
    imgq.append(img[0:mid_height, 0:mid_width])
    imgq.append(img[0:mid_height, mid_width:])
    imgq.append(img[mid_height:, 0:mid_width])
    imgq.append(img[mid_height:, mid_width:])
    return imgq
# function below just  displays the 4 quadrants
def quad_plot(quad):
    fig = plt.figure(figsize=( 10, 10))
    for i in range (4):
        imgn=(quad[i]+1)/2
        fig.add_subplot(2, 2, i+1)
        plt.imshow(imgn)
train_dir=r'c:\temp\people\train' # point this to your training directory
train_gen=ImageDataGenerator(preprocessing_function=tf.keras.applications.mobilenet.preprocess_input, horizontal_flip=True)
train_gen=train_gen.flow_from_directory( train_dir, target_size=(224, 224), batch_size=32, seed=123, )
# you can make similar generators for validation and test data
images, labels=next(train_gen) # fetch the next batch of images and labels
for image in images:
    quads=quad_split (image, 224, 224) # split each image into quadrants
    quad_plot(quads) # just used to display the quadrants of an image

You will have to build a generator that creates the 4 inputs to the model including the labels but this should not be to hard to achieve. Good luck

Q: How do I convert Time(7) to .NET Ticks? I have a table with some columns of time(7) type.
I now need to convert those columns from time(7) to Ticks as a BIGINT (from .NET), because mssql doesn't support time more than 24 hours.
How do I update those time(7) columns that already exist on the database to now represent the time in ticks using SQL?
For example, if I have in the database a columns with "07:00" stored, that would be something like 2384623897129873 as a BIGINT. I want to know how to do this conversion.

A: As per the doco the number of ticks in a datetime starts from a specific starting point - 1st Jan 0001. This means that if you want to store ticks as an offset into an arbitrary length day you will need to subtract the number of ticks at the start of that day from the DateTime.Now.Ticks.
As you are keeping time in a cycle that isn't 24 hours make sure you still keep a date with the tick offset - otherwise you won't know if 900,000,000,000 is 25 hours offset from Day 1 or 1 hour offset from Day 2.

A: Found the answer.
As this document says:

February 2017 – "Your Dying Charlotte"
John Van Der Ipe Quick, circa-1865 albumen carte de visite copy of an earlier daguerreotype. Ann Longmore-Etheridge Collection.
The carte de visite (CDV) shows the young and almost impossibly handsome John Van Der Ipe Quick, born 27 August, 1829, in Lodi, Seneca County, New York, northwest of Ithaca. The CDV is a copy of an daguerreotype that was taken in about 1850, probably when he reached the age of 18.
John's parents were farmer and Reformed Dutch Church member Christopher Quick and his wife Ellen Van Der Ipe, who was the daughter of John Van Der Ipe and Harriet Ten Eyck. Christopher Quick was born in South Branch, Somerset County, New Jersey, 14 August, 1798, to Abraham Quick (1766-1819) and Catherine Christopher Beekman (1766-1848). Abraham Quick, was, in turn, the son of farmer and Revolutionary War soldier Joachim Quick (1734-1816), who had been born in Harlingen, Somerset County, New Jersey, 22 July, 1734. His tombstone can be found in Harlingen Reformed Church Cemetery, Belle Mead, New Jersey. His wife, John's great-grandmother, was Catherine Snedeker (1739-1815).
The final resting place of Joachim Quick, Revolutionary War soldier and John Quick's great grandfather.
The gravestone of Abraham Quick, John Quick's grandfather.
Christopher was buried in Lake View Cemetery, Interlaken, Seneca County, New York. In his Will, he bequeathed each of his children $100. His wife was left in charge of his property until his youngest child turned 21, then his estate was to be evenly divided between the children with one-third for his widow.
Harriet became pregnant at about the time of her father's death, and her first child, a son named Christopher Quick Peterson in honor of his grandfather, was born 8 November, 1842. A life was taken and a new life given, but the cycle was far from finished: The youngest Quick, James, died 29 November, 1843, aged four years, eight months, and 15 days. (The registrar of deaths chose Isaiah 3:10: "Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.") The following year, John's sister Harriet bore another son, Peter. In 1848, there was the birth of a third son, John Bergen Peterson, as well as the death of John's little brother, Abram Quick, on 18 April, aged 16.
A decade later, on the 1860 Census of Covert—a Seneca County town not far from Lodi—Ellen, John, and William Peterson lived with Hannibal and Maria Osborn and their children—the Quick family farm presumably sold. Osborn was a sawyer—a man who sawed wood, particularly using a pit saw, or who operated a sawmill. John and William were listed as sawyers as well, and this may have been where John's career rested had the Civil War not removed him from his native state.
John joined the Union Army on 6 August, 1862, at age 29, for a three-year term, entering as a private in the 126th New York Infantry, according Civil War muster roll abstracts. In his enlistment records, John was described as having blue eyes, brown hair, a fair complexion, and standing 5'8″.

From 5 to 24 July, the 126th pursued Gen. Robert E. Lee to Manassas Gap, Virginia. By October, it was fighting in the Bristoe Campaign, followed by the battles of Brandy Station and Mile Run.
The muster rolls state that John Quick was on furlough from 6 to 16 February, 1864, presumably visiting his family in Seneca County. Once he had returned, he was promoted to corporal. His regiment had been hard hit by losses and seasoned men were being elevated to replace the dead. Returns from Fort Wood, Bedloe's Island, New York City Harbor (where later the Statue of Liberty would be built), place John there in April 1864, where he was amongst the "enlisted men casually at post" on the 25th of that month.
Between 5 and 7 May, John fought in the Battle of the Wilderness, where the regiment lost five men, 62 were wounded, and 9 went missing. Just a few days later, he was at Spotsylvania Court House, where six died, 37 were wounded, and seven went missing.

"Casualties of the 126th Regt. N. Y. S. V.
Camp near Petersburg, Va. Aug. 28, 1864.
Killed—George M. Fuller, Co. D.
Wounded—Corp'l John Quick, Co. C, face; Aaron H. Abeel, Co. E, leg; Chas. Wolverton, Co. E, neck; 1st Sergt. Cornelius Alliger, Co. I, leg.
Missing and supposed to be prisoners: Sergt. Martin McCormick, Co. B; Isaac Miller, Co. C; Alex. Wykoff, Co. C; Michael Cunningham, Co. D; Chester B. Smith, Co. E; Andrew J. Ralph, Co. G; Edgar T. Havens, Co. G; Nathan D. Beedon, Co. B; Charles H. Dunning, Co. B; Frank Dunnigan, Co. G.
None of the wounds are necessarily fatal. I have prepared this list hastily.
The extent of John's face wound, and how, when, and for how long he remained in Confederate hands is unclear, although the military records all indicate that he was indeed a prisoner of war at some point. After his capture at Ream's Station, he may have been sent to Libby Prison in the Confederate capital, Richmond. Another soldier taken that day, George E. Albee, 3rd Wisconsin Light Artillery and Company F, 36th Wisconsin Infantry, was sent there, as noted in his 1864 diary. He was eventually exchanged and lived to rejoin his family. Another captured soldier from Ream's Station was Edward Anthony of the 3rd New York Cavalry; Anthony was also held at Libby then Andersonville Prison, and died of an unknown illness in Macon, Georgia, that September. Others captured that day ended up at Salisbury Prison in North Carolina.
A Federal training camp named after the Pennsylvania governor Andrew Gregg Curtin, "Over 300,000 soldiers passed through Camp Curtin, making it the largest Federal camp during the Civil War. Harrisburg's location on major railroad lines running east and west, and north and south made it the ideal location for moving men and supplies to the armies in the field. In addition to Pennsylvania regiments, troops from Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, and the Regular Army used Camp Curtin. The camp and surrounding area also saw service as a supply depot, hospital and prisoner-of-war camp. At the end of the war, Camp Curtin was used as a mustering-out point for thousands of troops on their way home. It was officially closed on November 11, 1865," states the Camp Curtin Historical Society.
Camp Curtin's hospital was John Quick's last stop on a long road through a terrible war. Weakened by a facial wound and a sojourn as a prisoner of war that resulted in scurvy, this brave man who had survived the carnage of countless battles and skirmishes finally succumbed, so very close to home. His death was not by a bullet or bayonet, but by a disease born of contaminated water or food. Typhoid is excruciating, with high fever and diarrhea that leads to dehydration, delirium, intestinal hemorrhage, septicemia, or diffuse peritonitis. We can only hope that John passed quickly. He was most likely rapidly buried at Camp Curtain in a grave unmarked today.
As for his mother Ellen Quick, the pension application states that "credible witnesses testify that all the property of claimant consists of the income of seven pe'ct interest on $1200. Support by son shown before and after enlistment." John, it seems, had sent his pay home to his mother. On 13 January, 1866, Ellen was granted a pension of $8 per month, backdated to April 1865.
Four years later, Ellen was listed the 1870 census of Covert, dwelling with her son-in-law, 49-year-old retired farmer Cornelius Peterson, and her daughter Harriet. Ellen, who was then 71, was listed as having no occupation but she had real estate valued at $1,400. She died 8 August, 1878, at age 79. Harriet lived more than three decades afterward, dying 14 December, 1914.

Today's postcards convey "Wish you were here!" almost exclusively, but in the first decades of the 20th Century this method regularly moved information to friends and family who resided even just a few miles away. The short messages often read much like modern email, and when in combination with the photos on the front, can seem like old-school versions of modern Facebook posts.

Postcard valentine, 1910. Ann Longmore-Etheridge Collection.
The addressee was Gordon Lyman Barhite, born 10 June, 1883, in Michigan, son of Everon Barhite (1837-1923) and Delia F. Root (b.1846). Gordon Barhite appeared on the 1900 census of Bellevue as a boarder on the farm of Theodore Davis, probably acting as a farm hand. By 1910, he was in Fredonia, Michigan, working the farm of Frederic Lee.
The 1920 census appears to tell the outcome of the valentine's tale: Gordon Barhite then lived in Convis, Michigan, with his wife Edith (b. 11 June 1888). Also enumerated with Gordon and Edith were three children with the surname Patchett: Loren (1907-1925), Wayne (1910-2001), and Bernadine (b. 1912), as well as mother-in-law Frances Coutz (1847-1920).
Frances's presence provided a vital clue: twenty years earlier, the 1900 Amboy, Michigan, census detailed the household of farmer Joseph Coutz, Jr. (1843-1911), and his wife Frances E. Oldfield Coutz, as well as their daughter Margery Edith.
On 15 January, 1905, Margery Edith Coutz married Frederick William Patchett, who was born 13 April, 1882, in Salford, Lancashire, England, and came to America in 1879. Before 1919, however, the Patchett marriage ended badly. The 1 May Battle Creek Enquirer announced that Gordon Barhite and Edith Patchett obtained a marriage license—they had actually married the day before—and the later 1930 Census placed Frederick Patchett in Hillsdale as a lodger and a divorced mill worker. He later married Edith Mackey (1889-1972). The appearance of this Edith confused me and before I realized that she was indeed a new individual, I believed for a time that Edith Barhite had returned to her first husband.
A 2 July, 1925, Battle Creek Enquirer article about the death of Loren Patchett.
Edith's son Loren Patchett, unmarried and working as an electrical lineman, died aged 19 on 29 June, 1925, in Battle Creek, of electrocution caused by the failure to wear protective gloves. "Without the gloves, He climbed a transformer pole on Freemont Street. While in contact with a live wire containing 5,000 volts, he forgot and took hold of another wire which a fellow workman was attempting to sever…. The result was a short circuit which went from hand to hand." Loren was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Bellevue.
The 1930 census placed Gordon and Edith Barhite in Pennfield. Gordon was a farm laborer and stepdaughter Bernadine worked in a factory. The couple also had a daughter, Helen, born in 1923. Edith acted in a local play put on by the Willing Workers of the Base Line Church in may 1934. In December, 1939, a local newspaper article mentioned that Gordon Barhite and his family were exchanging houses with a Mr. and Mrs. Inman. The Battle Creek Enquirer of 14 March, 1941, noted that "Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Barhite have moved from the Gates apartment house on South Clark to a farm near Climax." These are the last traces I can find of the family.
Gordon Barhite died in May 1964 and Edith Barhite died 18 June, 1972, in Hillsdale County, Michigan.
Now, the discrepancy: The woman who sent this valentine signed her name Edith Mathews. Was she really Edith Patchett? In 1910, Edith was 22 years old with two young children and an unhappy marriage. Was she already looking to leave Frederick Patchett and was casting about for a new man to provide for her children? If she was, using a false but previously agreed upon surname may have seemed a wise thing to do.
Conversely, Edith Mathews may really have been Edith Mathews. According to the 1911 Battle Creek City Directory, a woman of that name was a boarder at 16 Shepard Street. She was still there in 1912, with fuller details given: Edith G. Mathews was a packer at the Postum Cereal Company. In 1916, she was a machine operator at B.C. Paper Company. After this, she disappeared from 16 Shepard Street.
This poignant American brooch, which measures about 1.75 inches tall and dates to the late 1860s, contains a tintype image of a boy of about eight years wearing a wool jacket. Around the inner rim of the viewing compartment is a thin braid of blond hair, presumably that of the child in the photograph.
The brooch has a unique swivel mechanism that I have never seen before. Usually, the brooch body revolves to bring to the front a second viewing compartment (in this case the back side contains only checkered silk). On this brooch, however, it is the pin mechanism that rolls to whichever side will serve as the reverse.
This lovely American woman, who is pictured in fashions of about 1850, once looked out at those who loved her from the black enamel setting of this mourning brooch just as she now studies us, the denizens of an age perhaps unimaginable to her. The daguerreotype is delicately tinted to give her cheeks the rosiness of life and to highlight her gold brooch and earrings.

Q: Calculus formula with differentiation under integral Is there a formula in calculus that says something like: Let $\epsilon\in\mathbb{R}$ and $g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be smooth. Then,
\begin{align}
\int_0^1 \frac{\partial}{\partial \epsilon'}\left(g(\epsilon')\right) \bigg|_{\epsilon' = \epsilon\tau} ~\mathrm{d}\tau = \frac{g(\epsilon) - g(0)}{\epsilon}
\end{align}

A: The fundamental theorem of analysis combined with a simple substitution gives:
$$
\int_0^1 g'(\epsilon \tau) \, d\tau
= \{ \sigma=\epsilon \tau \}
= \int_0^{\epsilon} g'(\sigma) \, \epsilon^{-1} \, d\sigma
= \epsilon^{-1} \int_0^{\epsilon} g'(\sigma) \, d\sigma
= \epsilon^{-1} (g(\epsilon)-g(0))
= \frac{g(\epsilon)-g(0)}{\epsilon}.
$$


Can you start by telling us how you decided to become a paediatrician?
It was very late before I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was doing an F2 job in Plastic Surgery, which involved a lot of paediatric burns work. Working with children was so much more fun than adult medicine. Luckily my next rotation was paediatrics, so I was able to gain good experience in the run-up to interviews. Though that was luck rather than judgement. Up until that point, I didn't even know whether to pursue a medical or a surgical career. I'm so glad I picked the paediatric medical route. Much of this was documented in the third episode of season one of BBC Three's Junior Doctors.
So what has made you glad you chose paediatrics, what are your favourite parts of the specialty?
The working atmosphere in paediatrics is by far the best you will find in medicine. It is a colourful, vibrant and fun environment for patients and professionals alike. Christmas is particularly magical.
There is a wonderful variety of presenting problems. No other specialty deals with a population as varied as a premature baby and a teenager. You touch on a bit of everything – renal, intensive care, respiratory, psychology. Nothing you learnt at medical school goes to waste. I'd hate to specialize in one thing and feel that learning the kidney or the brachial plexus had been a waste of effort.
I think lots of doctors feel difficult about choosing one part of the body to specialise in, so it's good to know that choosing paediatrics is a good option for getting lots of variety. On the flip side, what's the worst thing about paediatrics?
Picking one is hard, because it is so easy to be pithy and say "Child Abuse" or "Sick kids." But actually, I think the hardest thing can be managing the expectations of a sick child's family. Telling parents in A&E that their child is fine and can go home is sometimes harder than telling them that they need admission. Parents can feel like you're not taking them seriously – especially when their child has clearly been miserable at home, but is now running around playfully. Parents need to be pushy advocates for their children – and we must never judge them for it. But managing the expectations of parents who want a diagnosis of autism/ADHD or who are demanding a cure for the common cold is tough. Tough, but understandable.
What was the single most challenging moment during your training?
Disagreeing with the diagnosis and management plan made by a senior consultant. This is not a paediatrics-specific problem, but it is a good question for an interview. Knowing what route to take to escalate concern about a patient's management is difficult. I don't think it's important to go into the details of the case – but ultimately, because of the escalation of my concerns, things worked out well for the baby.
What do you think are the most critical personality traits that a doctor should possess for a career in Paediatrics?
You aren't going to be able to get anywhere in paediatrics if you can't get patients and parents alike to trust you. This means occasionally having to become a four year old: explaining management plans is a difficult enough skill, but it's tougher to explain diabetes to a four-year-old. Communication skills are by the far the most important qualities in a paediatrician – picking up the nuances of the way parents are speaking, identifying their concerns, putting them, and their children at ease. It's by far the most important bit of my work.
Dealing with ill children is just like dealing with well children. Engage them – talk to them. By talking to a child, you are talking to their parent albeit vicariously. Parents will take comfort from a sensitive explanation to their child. Measure language according to age. If it looks like you understand children, you will gain their confidence.
Never underestimate a mother's instinct. It's intangible and scientifically unverifiable. But it can often be right.
It is a job of emotional extremes. But the lows are very very rare. The joys are far more frequent. Having a child name their teddy bear after you is a great privilege, and it more than makes up for the bad days.
Generally, the most emotionally difficult situations are not the end-point of a child's management. Diagnosing child abuse is tough. Diagnosing cancer is tough. But it is the start, not the end of a process. It is actually a great achievement to improve the life of a child by offering the family social support, or by getting them to an oncologist. It is easy to focus on the bad news, but generally, things are going to get better.
There is no advice on how to deal with the horrors in any branch of medicine: paediatrics is not unique. But witnessing the anguish of parents is hard. There is no magic bullet. Talk to colleagues about it. Don't bottle it up. Standard advice.
Paediatrics has a long and difficult training programme with demanding rotas and on-call schedules. What is your advice to junior doctors in maintaining a work life balance?
Maintaining a work-life balance has been by far the hardest aspect of my job. The shift patterns – particularly in Neonatal Intensive Care – can be difficult to work hobbies around. I have had to sacrifice acting as a hobby, as well as dancing – it is difficult to maintain group hobbies that rely on not missing rehearsals. I decided to prioritise other hobbies, such as writing and travelling. I still have time for a couple of holidays a year and seeing all my friends. A life is not impossible.
You've blogged previously about the difficulties of deciding what to specialize in. What's your advice to other junior doctors about making this crucial decision?
Don't do anything you haven't experienced. Try to get a taster week in something if you haven't directly worked in it. I toyed with neurosurgery and radiology as subjects which I thought I might find interesting. It was only direct experience which helped me decide on paediatric medicine.
It's also not a decision that you have to get right first time. Plenty of people swap specialities down the line. You are not signing your life away in blood. You're just applying for a training programme. You are allowed to make a mistake. It won't cost you anything.
Finally, what's your number one piece of advice to junior doctors who are considering applying for training in Paediatrics?
There are very few F1 jobs in Paediatrics. The application system is therefore based around the ethos that people who haven't done a full rotation in paediatrics will not be discriminated against. Don't worry about having a child health-related audit in your portfolio. Have a good audit. Don't worry about having a child health reflection in your portfolio. Have a good reflection. Skills are interdisciplinary: if you're asked for evidence that you will be a good paediatrician, it is completely appropriate to talk about experiences involving carers, adults with learning difficulties, sporting injuries, needle-phobic patients etc. The skills you need to demonstrate are the same as you need for any other medical specialty. Just with a subtle working knowledge of Peppa Pig thrown in for good measure.

Notes of Life
Rev. Charles Roth
Bettie L. Barta loves music and Unity. She entered her first Unity Center at age 4, and when her parents started going to the nearby Church of Christ, Scientist, she insisted they drop her off at Unity Truth Center. Somewhere around age 13 she started singing at Unity as a substitute soloist. She has an exceptional soprano voice, which has opened doors for her throughout her life. She sang with the Big Bands and on radio during WWII, joined Phi Beta and performed throughout the Midwest.
Rev. Charles Roth came to Unity Truth Center, Indianapolis, in 1956, Bettie was the Secretary of the Board and substitute soloist and Sunday School teacher; and they became acquaintances. Then one day, after her three children were in school, she took a part-time job as office assistant at the Center. Soon she and Charles were in regular discussions about Truth, life and human behavior. One day Rev. Charles Roth had a wedding to officiate, when a sudden funeral for a member was scheduled for the same time. Being that someone ordained had to perform the wedding, he asked Bettie to perform the funeral after giving her a crash course. This began her work as a teacher and later ordained minister in Unity. She has lectured/taught at many Unity Centers throughout the Midwest, served on a Conflict Management Team, as an office of professional and social/community organizations.
Having produced the "Unity Viewpoint" for Rev. Roth, it was quite natural for her to pick the show up and continue with her own show, first called "Unity In You" then the "Unity Viewpoint"; it airs on WICR 88.7 Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and streams to the web at wicr.uindy.edu. In 1998 she started Unity North, after retiring from the downtown center, to serve those who were abandoned by the closing of Unity in Carmel (IN). Today she teaches, counsels, officiates, and guides congregants and friends alike. And always with a song.

In October, we got to go back to NZ for a wonderful 2 weeks, namely for Dad's 70th Birthday. Happy Birthday Dad!
We had 2 parties for Dad's birthday. One with the family and one with Mum and Dad's friends. The family one was on a sunny spring day at home with all the cousins and my Aunty and Uncle. Dad's cousin in Spain delivered a gift over with Rob and I – a delicious looking bottle of Spanish cognac. Wonderful!
As my present for Dad's birthday, I spent the previous year putting together Dad's family history, including transcribing his Dad's British Naval Service Record, all the family's birth, marriage and death certificates and stories told by his Mum about her family. Uncle Bob has the book open at a page showing both Dad's parents dressed in matching naval uniforms – so cute! It was really satisfying putting this book together and getting to know all these relations we've never met. There's more work to do on it though, but it was great to get this major draft done for Dad's birthday.
It was a lovely sunny day for a party and it was brilliant to have all the family around to celebrate. It was great to see you all, whanau!
The next day we had a party with Mum and Dad's friends at Stable & Yard in Remuera. It's a lovely little venue owned by Rob's cousins that has a great low-key kitchen and delicious wine selection. The foodie theme was wine, pizza and fish'n'chips. Perfect!
Since many of Dad's friends are (or were) lawyers, its unsurprising that there were speeches, and they were wonderful! People talked about Dad's love of watches, fascination with cars, his witty sense of humour his long lunches he used to have with friends, but also remembering their wonderful friends who weren't with us any more.
The party went on late into the night drinking the bar tab dry! Was great to catch-up with many of Mum and Dad's friends. It was a wonderful party!
Happy Birthday Dad! It was great for us to be home and celebrate with you.
While we were in NZ, it also happened to be Rob's grandmother's birthday too! But that's a different post.

All proposals must be submitted before Sunday 1 May 2016 to be evaluated for the official schedule.
Providing video of sessions amplifies DebConf achievements and is one of the conference goals. Unless speakers opt-out, official events will be streamed live over the Internet to promote remote participation. Recordings will be published later under the DebConf license, as well as presentation slides and papers whenever available.
DebConf would not be possible without the generous support of all our sponsors, especially our platinum sponsor HPE. DebConf16 is still accepting sponsors; if you are interested, please get in touch!
You are welcome to contact the Content Team with any concerns about your event, or with any ideas or questions about DebConf events in general. You can reach us at content@debconf.org.
Registration for DebConf is open. Please log into the DebConf16 website and register from your profile page.
To request bursaries (sponsorship) for food, accommodation, or travel, you must be registered by Sunday, 10 April 2016.
After this date, registrations will still be accepted in any of the basic, professional, and corporate categories. However, accommodation on the campus will no longer be guaranteed, and requests for sponsorship will no longer be accepted.
Even if you are not certain you will be able to attend, we recommend registering now. You can always cancel your registration, before the deadline. We do suggest that attendees begin making travel arrangements as soon as possible, of course.
We hope to see you all in Cape Town!


One would think that river confluences would be natural focal points, but not always so. They are the points often denied attention despite urban proximity. St. Louis is only near the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi, the Ohio and the Mississippi have none, Grand Junction is in name only, from the time when the Gunnison and the Grand met, but alas, nothing more than a railroad bridge.
The San Miguel comes down from Telluride and meets the Dolores inauspiciously and unobserved, and in turn the Dolores meets the Colorado somewhere above the Dewey Bridge. So river confluences are overlooked. That's what's so visionary about the proposed development in Glenwood at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and the Colorado.
All this is commendable unless it precludes any future route for traffic through town. In other words, include room for a possible traffic route through that area. If it comes down to dodging traffic on Grand Avenue to pick up dog droppings at the Wye, then something is wrong with the decision-making process. The priorities are flipped around and shortsighted.

Our quality reproduction is available in a variety if colours.
