You may think you know everything worth knowing about Winston Churchill. But we suspect you don't know just how responsible his wife, Clementine Churchill, was for his success—or how fascinating she was in her own right! Our September 2017 Book a Month selection, Clementine by Sonia Purnell, is an absorbing biography of the ambitious, opinionated, always stylish Mrs. Churchill, a clear-eyed portrait of a complex woman too long ignored by history.
1. Clementine Churchill is a historical figure who has been largely ignored. Do you think she proved to be an interesting biography subject? Considering her personality, her strengths and foibles, how might her life and legacy have been different if she had been born fifty years later?
2. Which period of her life did you find most interesting and why?
3. Winston seemed to be the center of Clementine's world, sometimes at the expense of her own well-being. Do you think her enormous role in his life fulfilled her?
4. Did anything you learned about Clementine surprise you?
5. How would you describe Clementine's relationship with her children? Do you think she was a good mother? How did her devotion to Winston affect her role as a parent?
6. Did you think Winston and Clementine's marriage was as strong as their political partnership? Would he have been the statesman he was if his and Clementine's relationship was different?
7. Author Sonia Purnell doesn't spend much time chronicling Clementine's fifteen years of widowhood. Why do you think that is? Would you like to learn more about her later life, or did you find her less interesting without Winston? Why or why not?
8. This biography provided glimpses into the lives of many of the Churchills' friends and fellow world leaders. Which did you find most intriguing?

Any office chair is not just of satisfying what's needed that must be owned by any organization / business business employed for the reason that they are doing as an easy method. On the basis of the performance or usability seat has in identifying the picture of a person while in the location and functionality of each, an essential position, for example of course, of a seat for that director, have to be tailored to his position.

I showed you my newest bed nook makeover a couple of weeks back and since then, I've been looking for something to fill the blank space above our bed. I don't know if you are like me in this, but once I start searching out the "perfect" thing for a space, it becomes bigger and bigger in my mind and somehow grows into this weird thing where nothing is ever "perfect" enough. It's silly. Really. I usually know to just distract myself with another space when I feel it happening. Then you can let it happen more organically. I'm happy to report that ignoring this space for a little bit yielded good results, and today I'm teaming up with Canon USA to show you how I made this super simple and dreamy DIY.
Okay. So, to begin you will need to find a shadowbox at your local craft store. If you don't have one of those, Amazon is always a good option. After you find your shadowbox, it's time to get to work!
We're going to start with the extension cord because this baby needs power. There are two ways to get some power to your lights-- you can either drill a hole in the back side or staple the cord to your frame like I did. We have a drill, but it seems like the battery is always drained when I need it. Arg. I was feeling impatient (I can be somewhat of an impatient crafter), so I decided to figure out a different way to fasten the cord to the frame. I ended up pulling out my ol' trusty (my staple gun), which is my crafty time best friend. I use my staple gun for TONS of projects. TONS. Okay, I'm getting distracted. Back to the DIY. If you are stapling like me, try to shoot your staples in AROUND the cable and not THROUGH the cable. It's for the best.
Next, use your staple gun to staple your lights into place inside of the shadowbox. Again, staple around the cable and not through the cable. Try to get the bulbs to lay as flat as you can during this process.
I used two strands of 15ft LED bulbs in my shadowbox and it's pretty bright! I bought the white ones, but if I had it do over I definitely would have chosen the white "warm" bulbs. Just a little tip for ya.
Alright, now it's time to choose an image to print! I printed this photo from the BonLook photobooth when we were in Austin last year. It's one of my very favorite pictures of us because A) it's hilarious, and B) Johnny's face is 100% truth. He hates being in front of a camera and was caught in a second of "oh my gosh I don't even know what to do". Classic Johnny.
I printed the photo out on my PIXMA iP8720. I love this printer because it prints up to 13"x19", so for projects like this where I need a 12"x16" photo, I don't have to send a photo over to Kinkos or wherever to have it printed. If I'm doing a project, speediness is key... but, if you don't have a large printer at home, blueprint copies from your local shop work great as well because the paper is thinner than normal photo paper.
Speaking of thinner paper, the reason we are using rice paper instead of normal paper is to let the most light through. I printed my image on the rice paper and used a second piece behind it. It's the perfect thickness to let lots of light shine through! Use regular clear tape to adhere your photo to the inside of the shadowbox. Once you get that done, close it up and find the perfect place to hang this baby!
As you can see, this project is lovely in the daylight... BUT... I'm sure we're all wondering what it's like all lit up at night. Ready???
It's kinda dreamy, right? Night photos are hard, so if you end up making this you will be surprised at how perfect it is in the dark.
And see, I thought I was too far gone in my land of searching for the "perfect" thing for our bed nook. I'm glad I didn't force anything else because this is pretty perfect for our space. xo.
**I know someone might be curious, so here you go: my pillowcases are from Stay Home Club, my bedspread is from Urban Outfitters, and I got our little hanging terrariums and air plants from Amazon.
I absolutely adore this! A perfect addition to your bed nook!
Love this project! I really like the frame you used too -- so pretty!
I love how this looks when lit up at night! It IS dreamy. Thanks for sharing.
Looks amazing, I love it.
I may just have to steal this idea!
P.S. It'd also be a great Christmas gift idea for those certain people who are impossible to shop for!
What a great idea! Looks fab in your nook too. I'll have to give this a shot one day, it's excellent!
I love this so much! Perfect Christmas gift idea for the boy.
Okay, this is seriously the sweetest thing ever. I'm the same way with getting caught up about the "perfect" thing for a certain spot but this couldn't have turned out any better! Looks great where you've put it!
It's absolutely lovely!! What a great idea for a gift actually that might be perfect for my handmade Christmas presents this year! Thanks Katie!
Aw I love this! Really super cute.


On this page, you can find information about my forays into hardware-based projects such as Gadgeteer projects and modules, etc.
If you'd like to see some of my video demos (similar to the one below), you can check out my Vimeo channel.
Builds: What's cooking in the garage?
The first project for Devhammer's Garage is a custom module for .NET Gadgeteer. The module is an IR (infrared) LED Array, and I'm using it to control an IR remote control helicopter, but you could use it for all kinds of stuff, including creating your own Gadgeteer-based universal remote control, home automation, and more.
At present, I'm in the process of ordering a set of PCBs to verify that the design works as expected, and have ordered all the parts needed to complete a handful of modules. If you think you'd be interested in having a module like this, please drop me a note and let me know.
The Gadgeteer driver for the module is available for download here.
While I'm still happy to happy to sell modules to anyone who's interested, please be aware that these are sold as-is (whether assembled or as a kit) and do not have any support beyond the driver linked above. This is purely a hobby for me, and the only reason I charge at all is to offset my time in developing the module and help cover the parts cost. Just wanted to set clear expectations about what you're getting.
One of the things that presents a challenge when trying to control a device via IR is understanding the protocol by which the device is controlled. Most consumer IR devices use a 38khz carrier frequency (meaning that when the IR pulse is active, the IR LED(s) are not simply on, they're actually flashing 38,000 times per second), which minimizes interference from ambient sources of IR light (such as sunlight). But the pattern with which this carrier frequency is switched on and off varies by device. For TV and audio remote controls, this is usually a simple short pattern, which is sent when a given button on the remote is pressed. This makes capturing and replaying these commands relatively easy, which is what a universal remote control with a learning mode does.
For devices such as the Syma S107g and similar helicopters, the controller sends an ongoing stream of packets, at a rate of several per second, that continually tell the helicopter what to do. This means that simply recording and replaying commands is not a very practical way of replicating the function of the controller.
The other option, then, is reverse engineering the protocol, which consists of finding a way to capture the signal (either by building an IR receiver circuit, or directly connecting an oscilloscope or logic analyzer to the appropriate output pins on the controller), and then moving the controls around and observing the impact on the signal.
The good news for me was that for the Syma S107g, this work was already done. I originally got my information from an RC forum, where a user by the handle of Darkstar2000 posted a thread in which he analyzed and shared his learnings on the protocol analysis (the interesting stuff for the Syma S107g starts on page 3 of the thread).
Each of the above posts provides some additional insights that will be useful to anyone interested in the process of analyzing and replicating an IR protocol. Also highly recommended is the excellent IR Sensor tutorial over at adafruit, which has a ton of great background info on how IR sensors and emitters work.

Ohio State starters carrying water, freshmen making impact as lineups evolve in two games
Adam Jardy
The season is a week old and the mixing and matching is just getting started for Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann.
A revamped roster with five freshmen, three transfers and only two players to see action in more than two games last season has brought a completely new look to the 2022-23 Buckeyes. While trying to figure out which players mesh well with others, which lineups can do what and simply how to win games, Holtmann has had the luxury of a pair of blowout wins to start testing things.
As Ohio State has opened with a 91-53 win against Robert Morris on Nov. 7 and an 82-56 win against Charleston Southern three days later, the coach has utilized 26 different lineups consisting solely of scholarship players.
Ohio State basketball:Join the Ohio State basketball insider text group with Adam Jardy
By way of comparison, Ohio State had used 33 different lineup combinations through its first two games last season. In doing so, the Buckeyes beat Akron, 67-66, and Niagara, 84-74. Those teams were ranked Nos. 126 and 190, respectively, at KenPom.com.
Here's what the lineups for the first two games have looked like this season and what they tell us about this team's start.
What's Ohio State's most-used lineup so far?
By a wide margin, it's the starting lineup. Holtmann has gone with Bruce Thornton, Sean McNeil, Isaac Likekele, Justice Sueing and Zed Key to open both games, and that lineup has in turn logged the most minutes. The starters were together for 12:40 in the Robert Morris game and 12:08 in the Charleston Southern game for a total of 24:48, or 20.1% of the first two games.
Last season, the Buckeyes swapped lineups from game one to game two, but neither saw nearly as much playing time. A lineup of Jamari Wheeler, Meechie Johnson Jr., Justin Ahrens, E.J. Liddell and Key was on the court for 9:13 in the opener (and outscored 17-10), and then a starting lineup of Wheeler, Malaki Branham, Ahrens, Liddell and Key played together for 9:43 against Niagara and was outscored 21-19.
No other lineup has been used for even more than 10 minutes. Ohio State's second-most-used lineup of Likekele, Roddy Gayle, Tanner Holden, Brice Sensabaugh and Felix Okpara has been on the court together for 8:28.
Zed Key:Brice Sensabaugh dubs Ohio State's Zed Key 'Shaq Key' after Charleston Southern win
Which Ohio State lineup has been the most successful?
That would again be the starting lineup, which might shed some light on why those five have played together so much so far. Against the Colonials, Ohio State's starters were plus-10 (29 points scored, 19 allowed). Against the Buccaneers, they doubled that up and were plus-20 (31 points scored, 11 allowed).
Through two games, Ohio State's starters are plus-30 (60 points scored, 30 points allowed). That adds up to 34.7% of Ohio State's points scored and 27.5% of the points allowed in 20.1% of the minutes played.
The second-best plus-minus rating for a lineup belongs to one featuring Thornton, Gayle, Likekele, Sueing and Key. Although it didn't play against Charleston Southern, this lineup outscored Robert Morris 14-2 (plus-12) in only 4:11.
How much has Ohio State played without a true center?
A calling card of this year's team is the positional versatility the Buckeyes should be able to deploy. While that means sometimes Key will shoot 3-pointers, it also means that Ohio State entered the year expecting to play without a traditional center at times. For clarification, both Key and Okpara are considered the team's true centers.
The Buckeyes spent exactly three minutes playing without either Key or Okpara on the court against Robert Morris. For 1:32, a lineup of Thornton, McNeil, Holden, Sueing and Likekele outscored the Colonials 6-1, and for 1:28 a lineup of Gayle, Holden, Sueing, Sensabaugh and Likekele outscored them 2-1.
Ohio State did not use any lineups without either Key or Okpara against Charleston Southern.
What has Ohio State done with Bruce Thornton and Isaac Likekele on the court together?
Thornton, a freshman, and Likekele, a fifth-year transfer, will primarily run the point for the Buckeyes this season. They've both been part of the aforementioned starting lineup, and owing to that they have logged significant minutes together.
Ohio State has played with Likekele and Thornton for 33:44 and outscored its opponents 82-34 (plus-48). Individually, Thornton is plus-6 (32 points scored, 26 allowed) in 12:51 without Likekele also on the court. Without Thornton, Likekele is plus-3 (37 points scored, 34 allowed) in 20:45.
Isaac Likekele:Charisma, Bible verses and jersey giveaways: Meet Ohio State's Isaac 'Ice' Likekele
The Buckeyes have had Likekele, Thornton or both on the court for 67:20, or 84.2% of the first two games.
Who has the best individual plus-minus on Ohio State?
That award goes to Thornton. Although he's only scored 11 points through his first two games, the freshman has a team-best plus-53 individual plus-minus rating for the Buckeyes. That puts him just ahead of Sueing and Key (both plus-51) and Likekele (plus-50).
Thornton has not led the Buckeyes in plus-minus in either game. Sueing was a team-best plus-32 against Robert Morris and Key was a team-best plus-25 against Charleston Southern.
How many freshmen are playing together for Ohio State?
Ohio State has a five-man freshman class, four of whom are immediately assuming significant roles. Those four – Gayle, Okpara, Sensabaugh and Thornton – are joined by Bowen Hardman, who has been the final scholarship player to see action in both games.
The Buckeyes have featured four freshmen on the court together for a total of 5:53, and during that time they have gone plus-4 (17 points scored, 13 allowed).
Lineups with three freshmen have gone plus-6 (37 points scored, 31 allowed) in 22:48.
Lineups with two freshmen have gone plus-19 (35 points scored, 16 allowed) in 14:05.
And lineups with just one freshman are plus-39 (80 points scored, 41 allowed) in 33:09.

Me Mam. Me Dad. Me. by Malcolm Duffy - Review
Where did I get it? Netgalley, courtesy of Head of Zeus, so thank you very much to them
What's it about? Danny is a teenage boy living in Gateshead, in the north of England, with his mum Kim. She meets Callum, a man with a flash car and a big house and a lot of money, and Danny and Kim soon move in with him. Danny isn't bothered by him to begin with, but then Callum starts to hit Kim, physically and mentally abusing her. Callum becomes desperate to do something about it, so he goes to Edinburgh to find the dad he's never met in the hope that his dad will help him sort Callum out.
I'm familiar with the north east and its accent so it was lovely to read something with a Geordie accent. I think most of the dialect words are either easily understandable or were explained, but if you're reading it have a go at sounding the words out! I think it's brilliant to see a regional accent represented like this. We need more regional novels like this and more novels set in the kind of poverty that Danny is living in at the beginning of the book
Danny also gets a girlfriend, Amy, and I really liked her - I liked her as a subplot because she added some light relief. She also seemed like a really well drawn girl unafraid of standing up for herself.
What age range is it for? I'm going to say at least 14+ because there's a lot of violence
Are any main characters LGBTQ+? No
Are any main characters people of colour? No
Are any main characters disabled either mentally or physically? No
Is there any sex stuff? There are brief mentions but nothing graphic
Are drugs mentioned or used? No
Is there any talk of death? Yes and violence as mentioned above too. It's a pretty tough read so be gentle with yourself
Are there swear words? Yes, a few.
What criticisms do I have? I think the timeline is all kinds of confusing. Time passes really quickly in places and it's sometimes really disconcerting. I understand why the writer would do this, but I felt like a younder reader might need more signposts as to what was happening. This may happen in the finished copy, I realise I was only reading a proof.
Would I recommend the book? Yes, definitely. It's really good and funny in parts, as well as really sad and poignant.
Why did I choose to read it at this point in life? I was scrolling on Kindle, as I do!
What other books is it like? You know, I really can't think of any... My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher maybe? It seems similar in tone.
How many stars? Four out of five! Enjoyable read, Danny was a really likeable character even when he was being a bit of an idiot.
Me Mam, Me Dad, Me will be published in April 2018.

The Fort Pitt Division Summer Outing will be on Saturday, September 21. We will ride the Everett Railroad's Steam into the Cove, a three-hour excursion departing from the Hollidaysburg Depot at 1:00 p.m. and traveling through Morrison's Cove to Martinsburg, PA.


November in school is always such a great month. The rehearsals for the Christmas time nativity plays are about to start. The festive crafts are something that we always love. Making hedgehogs from fallen leaves, and more recently my daughter's Reception class had homework, which was to create a self-portrait from natural materials. For the first time, all of my girls are in school. This September saw my eldest go from home educated, for the last six years, to Year 7 – and I couldn't be more proud. And, my youngest daughter started reception. She was nervous on her first day, but it didn't take long before she fell in love with her teacher. School days can be some of the most frustrating times we have as parents, but also some of the ones that make you so proud your heart could burst.
On that home education note, Clare who writes at Freddie's Mummy reached out to kids to talk about what they love about home education. I was super interested to read some of the reasons the children give. It is refreshing to see a post written from a different point of view, in fact, you might say it is the most important point of view!
If you still haven't mastered the morning school run, don't worry you're not alone. Emma, from Brummy Mummy of 2, penned a hilarious 18 step post to getting out the house each morning.
"Remember that if you say "HURRY UP!" they will do the opposite".
I would love to read your school or home education posts! You can send them to [email protected] any time, or tweet links to me @mojoblogs. You can read what I've been up to lately on my blog mojoblogs.co.uk. Till next time!

When I bought my first Flex radio (5000), that used a firewire interface, RF getting into the radio was a big issue. Proper grounding would almost always fix the problem but often RF would get in on one band. Depending on the length of the ground cable, it could be a resonant length. Doing what you proposed was standard practice for Flex 5000 owners for the grounding cable. I used some old RG-8 coax and added the capacitor. In doing so you provided both a DC ground and an effective RF ground.
My earlier transmitter designs used UN-balanced audio inputs and were prone to hum and RFI. Grounding one end solved the hum issue but not the RFI so tried a .001 mfd cap at the TX end as suggested and that eliminated most of the RFI so it will work OK. Finally smartened up and went to fully shielded balanced audio inputs (3 conductors) grounded at both ends and that cured it completely. The input audio amp is a little more complex but worth it.
I recently went through my station fixing all the years old AC hum problems. I used probably fifteen 600 Ohm 1:1 transformers, in addition to some work on a couple of linear amps with AC issues. Now the audio is much better. If you are concerned about audio runs, the first thing you should consider is converting to balanced feeds.
Here are some various balanced and unbalanced grounding configurations, note the labels at the very top of the columns.

Payday Loan Companies online
Consumers fear online lenders as option if feds squeeze paydays out
October 4, 2018 – 10:19 am
Short on cash, Vermont resident Jessica Gingras was lured to the website of Plain Green LLC, an online lender whose site has cheery cartoons promising access to cash "as easy as 1, 2, 3." The site suggests that an online loan may improve a customer's credit score, is a better option than overdrafting a bank account and is less expensive than a payday loan.
"If approved, your loan funds will be deposited as early as the next business day, " the website promises.
So, Ms. Gingras applied for the loan, even though payday lending is illegal in Vermont. She was instantly approved. Over a period of two years, she took out three loans totaling $3, 550. She gave Plain Green online access to her bank account and over a period of three years paid more than $6, 235 to the company — almost twice her original loan amount.
Last month, Ms. Gingras filed a lawsuit against Plain Green claiming it blocked her access to her own bank account, automatically withdrew funds without her consent, did not examine her ability to repay the loan, and charged excessive interest rates, which are against Vermont law. Plain Green has asked a judge to dismiss the claim.
Although Vermont banned payday storefront shops, online vendors are not constrained by state laws or borders, giving financial regulators across the country enforcement headaches.
"Online payday lenders may not be subject to any regulation under your state law, they can ignore any state-issued consumer protections on the industry, like capped interest rates, rollovers and repayment plans, " said Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. "Online payday lenders think they're beyond the reach of state enforcers and often act like it."

Plain Green is wholly owned by Montana's Chippewa Cree Tribe. The lawsuit filed by Ms. Gingras claims Plain Green is using its tribal sovereignty to evade state law that bans its lending practices.
Two years ago, the New York state's attorney general filed a similar lawsuit against three online lenders with ties to an Indian tribe, which also claimed their sovereignty shielded them from being sued under state law for illegal lending practices.
"This rent-a-tribe concept is to take tribal immunity to shield certain lending practices from state and federal laws, " said Matthew Byrne, a lawyer at Gravel & Shea who represents Ms. Gingras, "Our case is a direct challenge to this concept — that you can't rent sovereign immunity to avoid state law."
Plain Green's loans are made in the name of a lender affiliated with the tribe. But another entity, Think Cash, provides the marketing, funding, underwriting and collection of Plain Green's loans, according to the lawsuit.
Think Cash was named as a litigant in a 2008 Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. payday lender prosecution action that ended with the issuing of $15 million in fines. After the federal action, the company rebranded itself Think Finance.
"Think Finance approached the Chippewa Cree Tribe with a deal, " Ms. Gingras' lawsuit claims. "Think Finance would provide everything the Tribe needed to run a successful payday loan enterprise if the Tribe would let them use the concept of a tribal immunity to stymie state and federal regulators. In return, the tribe would receive 4.5 percent of the revenues."
Plain Green officials, in a statement provided to The Washington Times Wednesday, strongly disputed any suggestion that its corporate setup was improper or that its lending practices were unethical.
"Plain Green is a wholly owned entity of the Chippewa Cree Tribe, and any allegations claiming otherwise are both inaccurate and offensive, " said spokeswoman Shelby DeMars.

Sidney Lanier papers
The collection spans the years 1838 to 1998, with the bulk dating from 1838 to 1972. The material consists of correspondence, prose, poetry, lecture and music manuscripts, photographs, memorial information, and newspaper clippings.
The correspondence gives a rounded picture of Lanier's life and work. Many of his outgoing letters as well as incoming are included in this collection. Most of Lanier's adult life was marked by a continuous struggle against poor health and financial straits. He was forced to undertake many journeys for the sake of his health, and his efforts to support himself and his family were a constant strain. The correspondence between Lanier and his wife and family present a vivid portrait of his personality.
Lanier's letters begin during his days as a Confederate soldier and prisoner-of-war, but most letters are from 1870 through 1881. During the period 1873 to 1877 when Lanier spent the fall and winter in Baltimore, his letters detail his musical and literary activities in that city. People mentioned include Leonce Rabillon, Innes Randolph, William Hand Browne, Edward Spencer, John Banister Tabb, Richard Malcolm Johnston, Severn Teackle Wallis, Henry Wysham, and Otto Sutro. Lanier's incoming letters from friends and fellow musicians and authors complement Lanier's letters to his family. Musicians with whom Lanier was in contact included Mme. Auerbach, Dudley Buck, Asger Hamerik, Theodore Thomas, and Carl Wehner.
Through the efforts of Lanier's family after his death, the collection contains nearly all Lanier's extant prose, poetry, and music manuscripts. There are drafts, finished manuscripts, proofs, and printed copies. These are found in Series 4, 5 and 10.
A considerable portion of the collection deals with Lanier's family's efforts to have him and his work recognized. Series 7 Memorials contains letters, clippings, a video, and printed material from numerous celebrations held in Lanier's honor. Mary Day Lanier's correspondence outside of her letters from Sidney largely deal with her efforts to have Lanier's work published.
Lanier, Sidney, 1842-1881 (Person)

Sidney Lanier was born in Macon, Georgia on February 3, 1842, the son of Robert Sampson Lanier and Mary Jane Anderson Lanier. He attended the Bibb County Male Academy and in 1857 entered the sophomore class of Oglethorp University in Milledgeville, Georgia. He graduated from Oglethorp in 1860 and was a tutor there from 1860-1861.
On July 10, 1861 Lanier enrolled as a private in the Macon Volunteers C.S.A. In the autumn of 1862 he transferred to the Signal corps and in 1863 while stationed at Fort Boykin, he began writing his first novel Tiger-Lilies which was published in 1867. Detailed to a blockade runner, Sidney Lanier was captured on November 6, 1864 and imprisoned at Point Lookout, Maryland. In the rigorous conditions of this camp he contracted tuberculosis. He was exchanged in February 1865 and returned to Macon. From 1865 to 1868 Lanier was a tutor, hotel clerk, and finally principal of an academy in Prattville, Alabama. He studied law under his father and practiced law as his health permitted from 1869 until 1873. For his health Lanier spent the winter of 1872- 73 in San Antonio, Texas.
In 1873 Lanier began his association with Baltimore. He came to Baltimore to play first flute in Asger Hamerik's Peabody Orchestra. For four seasons Lanier took a room in Baltimore, played in the orchestra and at the end of the season returned to his family in Georgia. During this period Lanier became acquainted with the Wednesday Club where he met Baltimore's leading literary and musical figures such as Leonce Rabillon, Innes Randolph, William Hand Browne, Edward Spencer, John Banister Tabb, Richard Malcolm Johnston, Severn Teackle Wallis, Henry Wysham, and Otto Sutro.
The years Lanier divided between Baltimore and Georgia were productive ones. He began to write poetry again publishing "Corn" and "The Symphony" in 1875, and "Cantata," "The Psalm of the West," "Clover," "The Waving of the Corn," and Poems all of which appeared in 1876. He also composed music, and he was commissioned to write the travel book Florida which was published in 1875.
Lanier moved his family to Baltimore in 1877. To supplement his income he taught at several private schools. In November 1878 Lanier gave a course on Shakespeare at the Peabody Institute. He then lectured at the newly organized Johns Hopkins University on "English Verse, Especially Shakespeare's" (1879), "Chaucer and Shakespeare" (1880), and "The English Novel" (1881). During this period Lanier published many poems including "The Revenge of Hamish" and "The Marshes of Glynn" in 1878 and "Sunrise" and "A Ballad of Trees and the Master" in 1880. He also completed The Science of English Verse (1880), and edited The Boy's King Arthur (1880), The Boy's Froissart (1879), "The Boy's Mabinogion," and "The Boy's Percy."
Lanier had been in ill-health for several years when he began a serious decline in 1881. He sought relief in the hills of North Carolina where died September 7. He was buried in Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore. Lanier was survived by his wife Mary Day whom he had married in 1867 and their four sons Charles Day (b. 1868), Sidney (b. 1870), Henry Wysham (b. 1873), and Robert Sampson (b. 1880).
A chronology of Lanier's life is in Appendix 1

Sidney Clopton Lanier (1842-1881) was an American musician, poet and author. The collection spans the years 1838 to 1998, with the bulk dating from 1838 to 1972. The material consists of correspondence, prose, poetry, lecture and music manuscripts, photographs, memorial information, and newspaper clippings.
Provenance of Correspondence
In July 1986 physical preservation was conducted by removing the correspondence from acidic blue folders to acid-free ones. The letters were foldered individually, and the information concerning the provenance of each letter was on the folder. This provenance information has been retained, please contact Special Collections for more information.
It appears that some Lanier material was owned by the Johns Hopkins University in the 1890s. Whether this was left by Lanier at his death or donated by the family is unclear. The bulk of the papers in this collection, however, were donated to the Johns Hopkins University in 1940 by Charles D. Lanier. These were materials by and about Sidney Lanier which the family had collected. More material about Lanier and tributes to him were added to this initial collection by numerous donors notably Lanier biographers Edward Mims and Aubrey H. Starke. This material includes photocopies of Lanier material owned by other libraries. In 1991 the contents of Sidney Lanier's desk and trunk which had been in storage were added to the collection.
The following donors have contributed to the collection: Nannie E. Dorsey; J.D. Hankins; Johns Hopkins University Collection; Charles D. Lanier; Henry Lanier; E. Mims; A.H. Starke; ? Tilley.
Most of Lanier's correspondence and writings have been published. Lanier, Sidney. "The centennial edition of the works of Sidney Lanier." [Baltimore, The Johns Hopkins press, 1945]. 10 volumes.
Lanier material is also found in the following collections: Adams MS.0004, Bowman MS.0058, Gilman MS.0001, Mackall MS.0035, Remsen MS.0039, and Turnbull MS.0103.

Properties of ultra fast deposited diamond-like hydrogenated carbon films
J.L. Sullivan, S.O. Saied, T. Zaharia
Electrical, Electronic & Power Eng
Hydrogenated amorphous carbon films with diamond like structures have been formed on different substrates at very low energies and temperatures by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process employing acetylene as the precursor gas. The plasma source was of a cascaded arc type with Ar as carrier gas. The films were grown at very high deposition rates. Deposition on Si, glass and plastic substrates has been studied and the films characterized in terms of sp3 content, roughness, hardness, adhesion and optical properties. Deposition rates up to 20 nm/s have been achieved at substrate temperatures below 100°C. The typical sp3 content of 60-75% in the films was determined by X-ray generated Auger electron spectroscopy. Hardness, reduced modulus and adhesion were measured using a MicroMaterials Nano Test Indenter/Scratch tester. Hardness was found to vary from 4 to 13 GPa depending on deposition conditions. Adhesion was significantly influenced by the substrate temperature and in situ DC cleaning. Hydrogen content in the film was measured by a combination of the Fourier transform infrared and Rutherford backscattering techniques. Advantages of these films are: low ion energy and deposition temperature, very high deposition rates, low capital cost of the equipment and the possibility of film properties being tailored according to the desired application.

Many a writer could easily believe that getting a book published would quickly result in a flurry of sales and interest from the general public.
Unfortunately, that is not the reality.
Being a writer is an art of passion, and for me personally, it releases the creativity and ideas that bottle up inside my head. I had ambitions however to develop my writing into something that could be made public; a story that would be read, known and talked about. To do this, I needed to build a following.
What I found is that there is an entrepreneurial side to writing that many new authors underestimate. I certainly did! I quickly needed to put myself out there; and that was a frightening thought. The 'what ifs' start to arise as my work was released into the wide open world, and I tentatively waited for that first bout of feedback on my story, my writing, and its public appeal.
Confidence is key . . .
It is about finding the right audience, targeting your work aptly and listening to your readers. Criticism is expected, and broad shoulders are necessary for survival; any business owner should expect that.
Being an author is like owning your own business.
Your writing is your pride and joy, something you have worked on for a great length of time, and most likely put your heart and soul into every typed page. Suddenly, you are at the hands of your consumer, and the control feels like it is slipping away.
Connect and grow your network, push yourself outside of your comfort zone, and use your creativity to build visibility for your work in different ways. Develop your author brand! Get comfortable with social media, and join online and community groups to broaden your reach. Anyone who starts a business will say that their first year is the toughest, but the rewards are fruitful when the hard work pays off.
Hence, I am reinventing myself as an entrepreneurial author and I'm embracing the business of writing!

Vile trolls set their sights on Mrs Hinch and call her baby boy 'ugly'
Olivia Hayes
Mrs Hinch has been the subject of cruel online trolling with users on social media calling her baby boy 'ugly'.
The cleaning goddess was sent a series of comments on Instagram which included her three-month-old being called 'ugly as f**k'.
This clearly upset the 29-year-old and she took to Instagram Stories to say that she doesn't understand why she's getting so much hate.
Clearly shaken, she said: "Maybe I was stupid to think that no one would be so nasty about a baby, who does that?
"I don't know what I've done so wrong to get stuff like that. I clean my house... and no one else's! I earn some money from Instagram, I buy cleaning products, I clean, I'm not hurting anyone. No one deserves stuff like that.
Speaking about her child, she said: "It's just an innocent little baby, my little boy, I don't know how people like that sleep."
Earlier yesterday she took her baby to get injections and apologised to her fans for not being online. She shared some of the messages she received after posting the Stories and they're absolutely awful.
We should all be kinder to each other.
Mrs Hinch,
trolls.

The fourth inventory fund to don't forget in 2011 is not a well known varied fund, however alternatively a specialty or region fund that invests in commercial real property. This is an amazing and easy way to feature even extra diversification in your funding portfolio. Your quality stock fund investment here's a fund that invests in fairness REITs (actual estate funding trusts), diverse throughout the USA. Historically (except the monetary disaster) this fund category has supplied average investors each boom and right dividends. Again, I propose an INDEX fund for lower price, wide diversification and more consistency in overall performance.
Put these four fund choices collectively and you have got one of the fine stock fund investment applications to stand the uncertainties of 2011 and past. If the equity markets maintain upward, you may be in the first-rate form. If things take a flip for the worse you may be closely different in some of the best investment alternatives and best companies within the international. While an awful stock marketplace is always feasible and will spell disaster for unprepared investors – it must be simplest a setback in case you mounted with the nice inventory fund combination.
Just in case Chicken Little is proper and there's a bond bubble that deflates in 2011, what is your nice bond fund funding strategy in regard to these income price range, that you possibly very own or are thinking about? If this so-called bond bubble bursts, even the exceptional bond fund of yesteryear ought to make your experience just like the sky is falling if you don't have a sound investment method in region to address it. Here are some funding thoughts for average traders.
The excellent investment strategy is the whole thing if bonds resolve in 2011 or beyond and you're a typical investor in mutual finances in an IRA, 401k, or other account. That's due to the fact most of the people advised clear of riskier investments like inventory finances after the financial crisis. Many invested in the quality bond fund they may discover – one which paid the maximum interest. Well, the day before today's quality earnings fund is present day fund to keep away from if interest charges pass up, so here's your excellent funding approach going ahead.
Cut returned on bond funds (additionally referred to as INCOME price range) in popular in 2011. Bond costs are high with the aid of historic requirements and could pass right into a freefall if traders begin promoting these securities and the shares of the mutual finances that spend money on them. That's what occurs whilst a bubble deflates – prices (value) fall. Your exceptional investment method for the money you loose up: great equity-profits (inventory) budget that pay dividends of two% to a few%, and money market finances. Many earnings finances pay much less than three% in dividends. Money price range should earn an increasing number of better hobby income as bond fund prices fall and interest charges move up.
The best investment method for the cash you keep in bond funds: go with short-time period and intermediate-term budget equally and avoid lengthy-time period funds. The latter will get clobbered when the bond bubble deflates and investor promoting hurries up. Don't go together with the best or exceptional exceptional budget that make investments closely in U.S. Treasury bonds and notes. These pay less interest due to the fact they're sponsored with the aid of the government. But they're inside the equal boat as different earnings finances if the bond bubble deflates and interest prices upward push. Go with excessive to medium satisfactory budget for the greater interest earnings.
Keeping the cost of making an investment low may be a main part of the high-quality bond fund funding strategy for 2011 and past. You're not trying to get wealthy in an earnings fund. You are seeking to get better interest profits at a moderate stage of threat. Why pay income expenses and excessive charges? That's like driving in a leaky boat, and only takes money out of your account. Invest cheap with bond INDEX finances from both of the two largest fund agencies in America: Vanguard and Fidelity. They offer extensive diversification and really low yearly charges, with NO SALES CHARGES to shop for or sell.
If you're willing to be proactive in 2011 and beyond, here's a technique to add to make our nice bond fund investment approach even better. You've were given a pool of cash to your money marketplace fund and some in an intermediate-term profits fund. Tell your fund company to robotically move the same sum of money every month, from the money fund to buy shares in the profits fund, so that during about three years you will have equal amounts in each. The benefit of this funding approach: if the bond bubble deflates in 2011 and for a couple more years, you will be shopping for an increasing number of bond fund shares as the fund fee falls. This is known as greenback value averaging and it spreads out your threat. Plus, it lowers your average fee in keeping with percentage.
Your great bond fund funding method for 2011 and beyond: reduce your popular publicity to earnings finances; go along with shorter-time period exceptional (no longer the very best) price range, lower expenses with index funds, and dollar cost average again into intermediate-term budget. The bond bubble may additionally or may not deflate extensively. If it does millions of average investors will take it on the chin and marvel what came about. With the high-quality funding method, you shouldn't be one in all them.
The exceptional funding and the quality mutual budget will again be on the thoughts of common traders as 2011 unravels. For maximum oldsters the best funding strategy centers round funding programs called finances. In case you've got been burdened or deceive within the beyond, right here's an investment manual written in plain simple English that spells out your basic options.
The simplest actual difference for 2011 and past within the world of mutual price range is that there will possibly be greater variations of the identical vintage basic investment alternatives. Don't strain over locating the pleasant funding from a listing of masses or hundreds of fund alternatives. Let me make things simple for you by means of taking you again to the fundamentals, due to the fact there are still handiest three fundamental sorts of funds you really want to apprehend; and your fine funding strategy should revolve around proudly owning some of each. In this funding manual we begin with the most popular finances which have been around the longest – stock funds and bond finances. And we hold it simple.
Stock budget also are referred to as fairness funds due to the fact they make investments your cash in shares, which might be additionally known as equities in the funding global. Equity implies possession, whole with the capability of higher returns in addition to better danger. Even the exceptional stock budget are risky in comparison to the opposite funding alternatives. But over the long time stocks have rewarded traders with higher returns, along with extra volatility in price.
Your quality investment in stock finances for 2011 and beyond in most effective terms boils right down to your emotions approximately risk. The pleasant inventory finances for conservative folks are those who put money into big, well-known corporations that pay appropriate dividends. The high-quality inventory funding approach for the extra competitive sorts: include boom budget and smaller-corporation price range as well to your portfolio. They don't pay plenty in dividends, but they can fly while the financial system hits on all cylinders.
Bond price range preserve long-time period interest-paying debt (bonds) issued by means of authorities entities and/or corporations in their funding portfolio. These budget have typically been considered because the average character's excellent funding for earning highly high interest income with handiest slight danger. In 2011 be cautious due to the fact you CAN lose cash in even the satisfactory bond fund if hobby fees go north. Your quality funding right here if conservative: short-time period bond finances. If more competitive your quality investment strategy could include intermediate-term bond finances as nicely. Avoid lengthy-time period finances unless you need to gamble that interest quotes may not cross up in 2011 and past. If costs cross up large time, long-term finances will pass down in price likewise. That's the way bonds work.
Money market budget are the closing of your 3 fundamental fund investment options, and had been the ultimate of the 3 to be provided to average investors. In the early Seventies they began their climb in reputation as interest prices soared. Money budget are safe and pay dividends (interest income) earned from secure brief-time period cash marketplace debt securities. These are your high-quality safe funding whilst hobby fees move up because the hobby earnings they pay robotically follows the fashion in hobby costs. Today's charges are awesome low, but do not ignore these price range due to the fact the interest charge trend could alternate. The great investment right here for average-profits oldsters are wellknown taxable cash price range. For high profits people tax-exempt money funds are the pleasant funding preference.

I know my blog has been lacking lately, the last post was on the 04/01/2016 so over 2 months ago now and I would like to say a lot has happened since then but, as the title suggests, not much really has…I have just had a huge amount of uni work and deadlines, a few things have happened with Snowriders, more on that later, and that is about it, oh and it snowed in Leeds twice. My project (a few parts shown below) is now getting somewhere and I am getting on top of my deadlines so I thought I would do a blog post.
So first of an update about my car situation, as I think I have mentioned previously, my brother is now 17 and learning to drive therefore in a few weeks the Audi is going home for him to practice in meaning I will be left car less although hopefully not for too long (scheming to get something for my 21st in June).
Secondly my bike situation; as you may have seen, over Christmas I managed to hit my head pretty hard smash my helmet while skiing. Due to this I decided it would be sensible to start wearing a helmet while cycling too, something I hadn't done for a good few years, so I bought myself a POC Crane Pure helmet. While I was getting that I also decided to get some new cycling shoes as I had changed my pedals over from flats with straps to cleats and my road shoes were not exactly the best for walking around uni. Therefore, I decided to get some Specialized 2FO shoes which I am now wearing on a daily basis! I have also applied for a job as a Deliveroo Courier and had fun cycling around in circles up and down the new car park by the gym at uni.
Finally, Snowriders. Well the Val Thorens Easter Trip went live at the start of the term and I got a place so from next Friday (18/03/2016) expect a daily past as I have done previously and then the following week I am in Engelberg so more posts and more skiing. This term there have been a few Snowriders events, the largest being our own festival (First Tracks) which we hosted at Beaver Works in Leeds and was an awesome afternoon with a Jib followed by night of fun. We have also had BUiSC finals, a round of Kings and a few trips to Top Gun.
I have also seen a few films (Deadpool, Grimsby and Triple 9 to name a few) and I think that covers everything really, back up to speed and hopefully I will be back to more regular posting soon.
BUDS, I can't really think of a single word to describe it that does it justice; it is so fun, mental and generally ludicrous!
I am only writing this now as I have pretty much recovered and considering I don't drink and it has taken me this long I dread to think how the others feel. I also missed the whole of Friday pretty much sadly as I had a lecture but had fun driving up with Tom and Pete and after that it was just non-stop partying until everyone left on Sunday morning and I headed over to my aunts. Had a really nice morning catching up with my aunt, uncle and cousins before heading back to Leeds at midday. I ended up only getting an hour outside Edinburgh before I had to pull over and sleep because I just felt so tired, ended up sleeping for an hour before getting back on the road and getting home.
Road Trip (first of two this month) – As I have an important lecture on Friday about a project for one of my modules I can't get the bus at 1am so am driving up with a full car of people in similar situation so that will no doubt be entertaining.
Stickers – Seeing as I am driving my car to a Snowriders event I thought I would throw the LS sticker on and while I was at it the other few I have had waiting. Put all the ski related ones on the right of the rear window lined up with the edge of the glass and the MCM one on the left lined up with the bottom of the glass hence the slight changes in alignment.
Mayhem – BUDS is always mad and I couldn't go last year (I did go in my first year) so am really looking forward to it again.
And that is about it, only a quick update as I haven't posted in a while, have a full house now so have been busy sorting that out and general bits and pieces ready for term to start.
As I am now cycling pretty much every day at Uni I decided to invest in my bike a little more having already spent some money at Urban Experiments as mentioned in a previous post.
Firstly I bought some new grips (Genetic Vein Grips, 170mm in white) to replace the bar tape that was getting worn and discoloured which hopefully won't happen to the plastic grips, I also bought some new bar ends (Cinelli Milano in red) as well as a Specialized inner tube and pump along with a Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini Lock to replace my current Kryptonite Series 2 Lock which means a nice jump in security from a Bronze rating to a Gold rating. There was a slight problem with the shipping of my order so the pump and bar ends never made it but should be being resent and arriving soon.
This does means I need to sell my old bullhorns, spare bar tape and bar ends; so if anyone is interested drop me a message!
I do have a few other things on my list of parts I want to buy but don't want to spend any more at the moment, I have bought one other item that I am going to keep a secret too. Other things on my list are some deep-v wheels, a cap, a messenger bag and some shoes that I could wear all day rather than the road shoes I currently have (hence why I am not using cleats at the moment); along with possibly a new saddle too but I haven't decided on that yet.
This post is hugely delayed (over a week) but I have finally got round to writing it up!
Now onto the house; I am slowly filling the house and doing all the little repairs I can with the time available, pretty much sorted all the glaring problems now it just needs a good clean and a few little fixes here and there. While doing the work on the house and assembling all the new furniture I have started watching all the James Bond films in order. Have been watching one per day, today's being Moonraker, the 11th out of the 23 released, Spectre being the 24th!
And that is about it for now, have a few people coming to view the house tomorrow as well as going to see Tiro Lark and a few others playing at the Library Pub tomorrow night!
So first off my new laptop from which I am uploading this is awesome! It is a Lenovo Yoga 2 with an almost identical spec to my old Lenovo Yoga except it has a little more memory. The reason for the upgrade is my old one broke; the fan started making huge amounts of noise and 'revving' when I were using it so I sent it off for repair and as some of you may have seen from my Instagram when I got it back the screen was smashed! So I took it back to John Lewis again and they decided to send me a new one instead of repairing it again so I can't complain at all. Would have been a Yoga except they couldn't find any in stock anywhere and the Yoga 2 was a similar price to what I paid.
My first impression of the Yoga 2 is how much smaller and lighter it feels, will try to do a more detailed review soon.
As I mentioned in my previous post I had ordered a few bits and pieces from Urban Experiment and I am finally home today so had my first chance to see them and they are perfect, looking forward to getting back to uni and on my bike to try them out, won't have to put up with the annoying rattling caused by mounting the lock on the frame anymore!
Seeing as I am cycling more I decided to try and find a riding buddy and ended up finding a whole group instead, Fixed Gear Leeds! Had an awesome ride with them on Thursday night up to Eccup Reservoir for a few drinks before riding back, definitely going to be joining them more often over the rest of the summer.
I have now had the Infiniti Performance Engineering Academy assessment centre that I mentioned in my last post and it was actually really good, met a load of good guys there and now it is just a waiting game until we hear the results! Ended up coming away from the day with loads of stuff (notepad, pen, cap etc.) plus a jacket and polo that we had to wear on the day so will post that all up when I get the chance.
DPS Dreamtime, I look at it every year and wish I could buy some skis and this year looks like my lucky year! I am planning on buying some skis just in time for the end of Dreamtime once I get paid! Going for the Wailer 112RP2 after having a very detailed conversation with Andrew, one of DPS' personal ski fitters, from which we decide it was the best ski for me and the conditions/terrain I would be skiing on. Originally the POW (Protect Our Winters) special edition graphics were only going to be run on the 178cm and 184cm lengths, however after asking Andrew about whether it would be possible to get a run in the 190cm length (what I would want) I found out that there seemed to be a few people asking the same question so they are now doing a very limited of them so I just hope I am paid in time to order them within the window!
Well I am going to sleep as I have a busy day tomorrow but luckily next week I have a week off from my project so I am getting the chance to go and visit a few people on a nice little road trip around the UK but more on that next week.


MAKE and Instructables are treasure troves of awesome ideas, although some are more involved than others. This particular lightbox for seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is pretty simple and can be made with spare and scrap parts, depending on what you and your friends have lying around the house/workshop. If you are using your light therapy box for seasonal affective disorder, check that your lightbulbs are an appropriate color temperature, between 3000 and 6500 degrees Kelvin. Most fluorescents fall within this color temperature range, but incandescents and some LEDs (those designed to give off very "warm" light) don't.

Emergency Prepardness Resources Deaf Pet Awareness Week
Girl Scouts Deny 12 Year-Old Deaf Girl Access to Interpreter
ADA Accessibility and Advocacy
Today, Megan Runnion, a 12 year-old girl who is deaf, filed a federal lawsuit against the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana seeking to secure an American Sign Language interpreter for meetings of her Girl Scout troop. The lawsuit, brought under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, was filed in federal court in the Northern District of Illinois.
Megan joined Girl Scouts when she was in kindergarten. For six years, she was provided with a sign language interpreter by Girl Scouts for troop meetings and outings. But last fall, when Megan's mother renewed the request for the interpreter, the Girl Scouts denied her request. Rather than providing the requested interpreter services, Megan's troop was disbanded.

EU banking watchdog maps out plan to cut red tape for small lenders
By Huw Jones Posted on June 7, 2021
FILE PHOTO: European Union flags flutter outside the EU Commission headquarters in Brussels
LONDON (Reuters) – Smaller banks across the European Union could save millions of euros by cutting and automating the thousands of data points they must report to regulators, the bloc's banking watchdog said on Monday.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) set out 25 recommendations for smaller, simpler banks to introduce over coming years to save a collective 188 million to 288 million euros ($350 million), or 15% to 24% of their reporting costs.
"Industry representatives corroborated this in the EBA interviews," EBA said in a statement.
The watchdog was looking for ways to further ease red tape on smaller lenders by making reporting requirements more "proportionate" compared with rules for the big, international lenders.

Regulators use the data to check if banks are complying with capital, liquidity and other requirements, and over 2,800 banks in the EU could benefit from EBA's recommendations.
Smaller banks already report only 10% of the data their bigger, more complex rivals must provide to regulators, and EBA said its recommendations could cut up to 7,000 data points.
The recommendations deepen a push towards more proportional rules by classifying which banks qualify for lighter treatment and estimating what the cost savings would be.
EBA will consult on implementing the recommendations in a step by step approach that could take up to five years for the sector to reap the full cost savings.
But to make some of the savings, banks will also need to invest millions of euros in "regtech" or automation of reporting, given that some of them still use paper.
Regulators are constantly updating requirements for banks, but the EBA wants to ensure that when it comes to writing new rules in future, proportionality for smaller lenders will be wired in from the start.

Questions swirl about role of Cardinal Burke in crisis at Knights of Malta press conference
Cardinal Burke was 'the elephant in the living room' at a tense Vatican press conference Feb. 2.
The Knights of Malta removed Albrecht von Boeselager from his post as Grand Chancellor on the grounds that he violated his promise of obedience.

Mon Feb 13, 2017 - 3:07 pm EST Fri Jun 18, 2021 - 7:11 pm EDT
Editor's note: The original published version of this article stated in the headline and lead paragraph that in his remarks at the press conference Grand Chancellor Boeselager had "blamed" Cardinal Burke for the crisis in the Knights of Malta. This was inaccurate because he did not do so explicitly. The article has been amended accordingly.
ROME, February 13, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Reporters at a tense February 2 press conference with recently-reinstated Knights of Malta Grand Chancellor Albrecht Boeselager repeatedly returned to what one reporter called "the elephant in the living room" – that is, the role of Cardinal Raymond Burke in the recent unrest affecting the order.
During the press conference, Boeselager thanked Pope Francis for his "guidance" in helping end the Order's recent "crisis." That crisis began when Boeselager was removed – at least in part at the advice of Cardinal Burke – by former Grand Master Matthew Festing for his role in a contraception-distribution scandal.
Asked at one point whether Festing had thought he could win a public battle with the pope, Boeselager responded, "My assumption is that the former Grand Master was ill advised."
Multiple reporters then asked "By whom?" but Boesalager gave no reply.
He added that the reason the pope had intervened in the crisis was that the Vatican, "became aware of the fact that the wishes of the Holy Father was invoked when I was asked to resign."
It is no secret that Cardinal Burke, who serves as patronus of the order, was one of the primary figures advising former Grand Master Matthew Festing to clean house by removing Boeselager. Festing himself has publicly stated that asking Boeselager to step down was "fully in accordance with the instructions" he was given by Cardinal Burke.
Burke was in turn acting after receiving a December 1 letter from Pope Francis, which followed a personal meeting between the two, in which the pope urged the cardinal to clear up the contraception scandal, expressing concern that some high-ranking officials in the Knights had refused to take action.
However, the Vatican, through Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, has since said that the letter only mentioned "dialogue" as a path to seeking a solution, and that the pope had not recommended "expelling anyone."
During the press conference reporters returned again and again to the question of Burke.
Asked by Vatican correspondent Philip Pullella about Burke's role in the order, Boeselager replied, "We cannot foresee. We will not make comments on the role of Cardinal Burke in future. That's up to the Holy Father."
Another reporter asked about the letter of resignation of former Grand Master Festing, in which he was reportedly asked by the Pope to implicate Cardinal Burke in the removal of Boeselager.
"I have not seen the letter of resignation, so I can comment nothing," said the reinstated Chancellor. "None of us were present there."
During the press conference Boeselager explained that the Pope would "name a special delegate who will be his only spokesman in the Order." The Vatican has since appointed Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu as Pope Francis' special delegate to the Knights of Malta.
Another reporter asked Boeselager if, as he said, the papal delegate will be the only link to the Vatican, "then what is left for Cardinal Burke to do?"
"Please ask this question to the Holy Father," Boeselager replied garnering laughter from reporters.
Boeselager was removed from his post in the order in December, but not before refusing to step down. His disobedience culminated with him being removed by former Grand Master Festing. Later that month, Pope Francis became involved in the imbroglio, appointing a commission to investigate Boeselager's removal.
In a surprising action, Pope Francis forced the head of the order to resign while reinstating Boeselager to his former position.
The Order retains sovereignty under international law and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the pope. It issues its own passports, currency, and postage stamps.
The pope's move came as a shock to faithful Catholics who viewed Boeselager's removal over the condom scandal as signifying that the Order of Malta was cleaning house.
Catholic University of America canon law professor Kurt Martens has said Pope Francis' action of appointing a papal delegate to the order, "amount[ed] to de facto annexation" and is a "serious violation of international law."
New York Times Catholic columnist Ross Douthat told LifeSiteNews at that time that Pope Francis' takeover of the Order was a "characteristic move of the papacy…in the sense that the pope's approach to church governance is very activist."
"That activism has a tendency to come down against more traditionalist and conservative groups and…to favor more liberal groups," he said.

One Time Passwords (OTP) and (new!) Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) are good ways to protect your online accounts against identity theft. They are much more secure than passwords and easier to use. But not all websites support these methods. Furthermore it could have been a hassle to find out if a particular website supports it or not. This is why we setup a list of (hopefully) all websites and self-hosted software with support for OTP and U2F.
The Crypto Stick has been established in 2008 as a hobby open source project. During this journey we attracted a lot of happy users and got positive feedback. We learned that developing a system which works is one thing; but shipping a stable and consumer-ready device is a totally different story. The development of the next version 2 (alias "Storage") took several years--even with one full time position on average. Now the system works stable and we are aiming on starting the production.
We are going to have a Crypto Stick meeting at the 31C3 in Hamburg. You will have the chance to meet many of the developers in person. Whether you are an advanced user or just interested in the project, you are welcome to meet us. Exact time and location within the broader 31C3 are not finalized yet.
The first batch of Crypto Stick Storage beta has arrived and we are busy flashing the firmware and assembling the enclosures in order to deliver them on time. We ordered a few spare devices which you can order in our online shop. First come first serve. Here are a few impressions.
Students, apply for Google Summer of Code!
Yeah! Also this year the Crypto Stick project has been accepted for Google Summer of Code. This means Google is sponsoring students with $5500 to code on the Crypto Stick during the summer. Ideas for this year include hardware, embedded programming, QT, security, cryptography, smart cards, OTP and many more topics. If you are an interested student, please apply now.
Update: All available devices have been shipped and we can't accept new beta testers anymore.
Crypto Stick has been accepted for Google Summer of Code (GSOC) 2013. In previous years we got into GSOC under the umbrella of the FOSS Asia project but now we were accepted as a main organization! If you don't know what GSOC is, it means that Google will sponsor several students developing on the Crypto Stick.
We are in the process of cleaning up our online shop system and would need help of a PHP developer. Specifically we would need a simple Prestashop module to integrate the mailing list and we need to import data from Magento. Are you a PHP developer and would generously contribute at least a few hours to help us? No other specific experience is required. Be guaranteed that you are more than welcome! Please get in contact with us.
