The Roman World
The Ambush at Agedincum, 53BC
7th November 2019, 1 Comment
The Roman World, To the Strongest, 28mm
This was another "learning the system" game, using my Gauls and Caesarean Romans. It was a fairly straightforward little clash, fought out in reasonably open ground on a 6×4 foot table. the odd patch of forest sat on the edges of what was otherwise an open plain, dominated by a Roman marching camp. Sean and Lindsay played the Gauls, while Gyles and I took the Romans. In this one, Gyles and I split our small Roman force in two, with each of taking three cohorts. On our right was a small cavalry force of two allied Gallic units, backed up by artillery – a ballista. We also had a couple of skirmish units, one of Balearic slingers and the other of Spanish javelinmen. Our big edge though was leaders – we had four leaders, including Crassus, our leader. Each of these was detached, which meant we could whizz them around to wherever they were needed. The Gauls did the usual thing – six warbands steaming towards us, with a sizable cavalry force on the right flank, backed up by another warband of naked fanatics and two skirmish units – one of archers and the other of javelinmen. The fanatics were Lindsay's pet new unit, and my ardent hope was that I could slaughter them before they developed a winning streak. The Gallic tactics were simple. Line up and … CHARGE! After the Gaul's last fiasco though, they played it well, and coordinated the assault, so that everyone hit the Roman line at the same time. Well, almost everybody. Those much-vaunted fanatics held back, as did the Gallic cavalry. We advanced a bit, to give us some space in front of the camp, and then formed our own supported battle line. All we could do then was to brace and hope for the best. The Gallic charge hit us like a steam train. None of our pila seemed to hit anything. So, it was down to hand-to-hand combat, with the Gauls bolstering their attacks with their disposable "heroes", and with their three attached leaders setting an example from the front. We held – just – but by the end of the first turn or two most of our units had been disordered. So had a few of the warbands, but they take three hits before they disperse, and our cohorts took two. So, things were looking decidedly grim for Team SPQR. Gyles' solution was to unleash his cavalry. His two units led by Crassus' son slammed into the left-hand warband of the Gallic horse, and disordered it. Then the next unit managed to get itself embroiled by charging the Gallic archers – who evaded – and slamming into another warband behind them. So, we were locked into a melee that wasn't going to end well, as we had no cavalry reserves – and our charge had blown itself out. In the end we landed up losing both cavalry units, in exchange for the archers and one of the warbands. By now the battle was really heading up. One of Gyles' three cohorts bucked under the pressure and broke, as did his slingers. All we had to show for it was three warbands within a card-turn of breaking themselves. Over on the Roman left the Gallic cavalry finally turned up, supported by the still-hesitant fanatics. Without anyone else to charge the first cavalry unit hit the far left of the Roman line, and the Romans stood fast. This ended with the cavalry unit breaking, and the one behind it pulling back with a hit marker on it. In my left I lost a unit, while a warband ran over Gyles' ballista unit. Things were looking pretty serious now, as we'd lost 11 of our 13 victory tokens, while the Gauls still had 6 of theirs. Things were looking very bleak indeed. That though, is when the run of cards started. Both Gyles and I started pulling some pretty nifty saves, and actually fought back with more gusto than we'd shown. First of all, in the centre, we broke a warband. Then the fanatics charged home – and got wiped out. Ha! That though, is where we had to end the game. Both armies were on the ropes, and only needed to lose another unit to lose the game completely. However, while all of the Gallic warbands had two hits on them, and so were on the verge of breaking, only one of our remaining cohort had a hit left on it. We'd also got one more victory token left. Still, by any definition this game was a draw, which is exactly how we called it. That, of course, is the joy of To the Strongest. The games are always tense and hard-fought, but also great fun. There's something about turning a card rather than rolling a dice that ramps up the tension, and we had dramatic card-turns in spades during the game… or hearts, clubs or diamonds. This was only the first time that Lindsay had played the rules, and Gyles and Sean only had two games under their belt. All three of them though, reckoned this was excellent entertainment, and vowed to play again .. and paint up armies of their own. I see that as a real result – and an excellent comment on the rules.

Great AAR. I fully agree about To the Strongest rules, they give an excellent game. Our local group's last game actually came down to the final coin, each side was down to one left before the decision finally happened. Can't get any closer than that.
Getting your players to paint more troops is always a victory in my book even if the battle was a draw. 🙂

What's with the Requested Rate Change? 9 Ways to Learn More, Get Involved
We are opening two of our biggest facilities to show Philly residents how their water bills fund the pipes, plants & people needed to protect our rivers + deliver safe water 24/7. RSVP now, tour spots are limited: https://t.co/pyGGvYD4cn #CleanWatersPHL #DrinkTapPHL pic.twitter.com/NmadM5R2WX
— Philadelphia Water (@PhillyH2O) March 27, 2018
Customers, City Council, Mayor Kenney, and the Water Rate Board were recently informed that we need to raise rates. Increased rates will ensure we have the resources we need to better maintain one of the oldest water systems in the country.
As a part of the process—and to promote transparency—we are holding seven Public Input Hearings across the city. These hearings are held with the Water Rate Board, an independent body created by voters to oversee any rate changes. Any testimony made by residents will become part of the public record.
You can find a list of meeting locations, dates and times on the Rate Board site.
We encourage our customers to get involved in the process by attending a hearing and viewing our detailed breakdown of how rates could change and what they fund, available here.
Did you know? When we request a rate change, we must show that the increase is justified and needed. If the Rate Board thinks we didn't show we truly need more revenue, they can lower the increase to an amount below what we requested or refuse to raise rates at all.
Where Your Bill Goes: Behind the Scenes
In addition to the Public Input Hearings, we will host two upcoming Water Open House events at two big facilities—the Baxter Water Treatment Plant on the Delaware River and the Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant.
While not part of the official rate-setting process, these events are designed to show you what your water bill helps pay for. Because we are a not-for-profit, cost of service public utility, all the funds that make 24/7 access to clean water possible come from the monthly water bills sent to Philadelphia residents.
Every PWD employee lives in the city, too, and that means our paying customers include the nearly 2,000 people working to ensure our pipes and plants are doing their job, protecting our rivers and bringing top-quality water to homes and businesses around the clock.
The Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant event will take place on Saturday, April 14 and the Baxter event will take place on Saturday, April 21. In addition to the open houses, expert-guided tours will be offered at each plant. Space for the tours is limited, so RSVP now.
Not sure which one you want to see? The April 14 event will show you how we treat wastewater from homes and streets to protect our rivers; the April 21 event at Baxter will show you how we turn raw river water into top-quality tap that meets or beats state and federal quality standards. All Philly residents with a valid ID are welcome at both.
Those who attend will get a behind the scenes look at everything needed to deliver safe water and protect our rivers.
Participants can also:
Hear from Commissioner Debra McCarty, the first woman to lead PWD in its 200-year history.
Talk to Water Revenue experts and learn how we help customers save.
Meet some of the nation's most-trusted water quality scientists, plant operators and more.
Learn how our city is leading the way with Green City, Clean Waters, America's first large-scale green stormwater infrastructure program.
RSVP now!
Baxter's Best: A Beer About Protecting Philly's Water

In marking the five-year anniversary of Philadelphia's Green City, Clean Waters program, we've been busy talking about the importance of protecting the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers—the source of drinking water for over 1.5 million people in Philadelphia alone.
While we usually think about our drinking water as something residents consume in cold glasses from their kitchen tap, in a way, that water is also often served via a different sort of tap—those found at the hundreds of Philly bars proudly pouring beers brewed right here in our fair city.
Throwback Thursday: The Amazing 'Torresdale Conduit'
In this week's throwback post, we look at a photo from the Philadelphia Water archives taken on October 24, 1903.
While a bit eerie—14 people died during the multiyear construction of the project pictured—this photo does give you a real sense of appreciation for the scale of water infrastructure beneath our feet and the herculean effort and sacrifice made by the generations before us to make sure their kids (and all of us) could have a future with clean, safe drinking water.
In this image, streams of groundwater entered the Torresdale Conduit as it was blasted out of bedrock, hampering construction. This worker used a hand-operated pump to remove the excess water. The conduit took two and a half years to complete, and had a capacity of 300 million gallons per day.
Still in use today, the Torresdale Conduit was built along the Delaware River waterfront in the first decade of the 20th century. It carries filtered water from the Torresdale Filters (now the Baxter Water Treatment Plant) to the Lardner's Point Pumping Station, which pumps the water into the city's system of distribution pipes. When they were completed, both the filter plant (covering about 75 acres) and the pumping station (with a capacity of 200 million gallons a day) were each the largest of their kind in the world.
In his 1987 book Typhoid and the Politics of Public Health in Nineteenth-century Philadelphia, Michael P. McCarthy wrote that the project was popular because the engineers saved about $2 million by using brick instead of cast iron. But there was also, apparently, some civic pride: "... the conduit was quite popular because, in addition to the savings involved, it was a sophisticated project that gave the city a good deal of favorable publicity."
The conduit is about 2.5 miles long and about 10.5 feet in diameter. Constructed of bricks and mortar, it lies about 100 feet underground and is still an integral part of our water distribution system.

Philadelphia Water's Early Warning System Getting Praise from High Places
Source Water Protection Program
Above: A map provided by the Source Water Protection Program's Early Warning System showing the tidal spill model trajectory for a hypothetical spill along the Delaware River.
Our Source Water Protection Program at Philadelphia Water does all kinds of important work to ensure the water we drink is safe and protected, from far-off springs in the Catskill and Pocono mountains all the way down to the intakes at our drinking water treatment plants. However, one of the most critical jobs is overseeing the Delaware Valley Early Warning System–a complex network that stretches from the Delaware Water Gap all the way to Wilmington, Del. and provides a way to sound the alarm when incidents like spills and flooding events occur.
In recognition of the hard work the Source Water Protection Program (SWPP) does to make sure this crucial web-based system is constantly updated to provide the fastest possible warning and response during emergency situations, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection selected the Delaware Valley Early Warning System (EWS) for the 2015 Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence. Our EWS will be among 15 other programs honored during a special dinner on April 28 in Harrisburg. The award recognizes "the development of a project that promotes environmental stewardship and economic development in the state," according to the Pa. DEP website.
At its core, the EWS has a simple goal: to notify drinking water suppliers and other water consumers along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers of spills and accidents that occur upstream as quickly as possible. Doing that requires a sophisticated network of over 300 users representing 50 organizations that make up what's called the EWS Partnership. Groups within the Partnership can access the system via the EWS telephone hotline or website to alert the network about spills and other incidents, and high-tech features like real-time water quality monitoring and computer models showing how quickly contaminants are moving downstream provide additional information for quick and smart decision making.
Last year, the Source Water team made the EWS even better by implementing a new computer model that predicts the tidal movement of water–critical information during a spill or flood scenario–in the lower Delaware River, where tides play a role in where water goes. This greatly enhanced detail on tidal flows in the Delaware Estuary is of tremendous value to places like PWD's Baxter drinking water treatment plant, which supplies approximately 60 percent of the city with drinking water.
Given Philadelphia's location along two rivers at the very bottom of a watershed with plenty of industrial activity, incidents requiring the use of the EWS are inevitable. This reality makes the work of the SWPP team–and especially maintenance of the warning system–incredibly important, so we are particularly proud of this award from the Pa. DEP. Keep on keeping us safe!

The Prestwick St Nicholas gents club was formed in 1851 and played alongside the Prestwick Club at Prestwick Links. They moved out from the Prestwick course in 1877 to a new location across the road.
Ayr Advertiser July 19th 1877
Opening Of New Links
The summer meeting of this club was held in the club-house, Prestwick, on Saturday.There was a large attendance of members. Baillie William Wilson, Glasgow, captain of the club, presided, and congratulated the members on the fact that they had now been successful in obtaining on lease, at a moderate rent, land for separate links for the use of the club. The new links, he had no doubt, would soon be found to be very suitable, and by the play during the season would be very much improved. The Baillie concluded by nominating as his successor in the captaincy of the club, Mr James Armour, Kilmarnock, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr W. Beaton was re-elected as secretary and treasurer. The thanks of the club were awarded to Ballie Wilson for his great services to the club. The members then proceeded to the new links to compete for the Eglinton Medal and club prizes, and also for various money prizes presented by Baillie Wilson. The links are situated at the South-East end of the village, and extend to about 30 acres. They have been laid off by Mr E. Hunter, keeper of the Prestwick club links. Fourteen couples started off in the competition. The game consisted of two rounds of 24 holes. In consequence of the recent heavy rains and other disadvantages attendant on new links, the play was not very good. On summing up the Cards at the close, it was found that Mr Thomas Manson, Prestwick, had gained the medal for the present year, he having holed the two rounds in 111 strokes. The following were the next best scores :- Mr William Hunter ( 2 ) Prestwick, 119 ; Mr Gordon Smith, Glasgow, and Mr Percy Wilson, 120 each ; Mr Alex Morris, Prestwick, 121 ; and Mr Dundas, Glasgow 123.
This club would move once more in 1892 to a course laid out by them on the shore side of the Prestwick Road which is also their present location today. Rather than just abandon the course which they were leaving, they decided to give the course to the ladies section which had just been formed in 1893. Thus the course became the home of the Prestwick St. Nicholas Ladies golf club, and the ground was leased from the council. ( See Prestwick St Nicholas Ladies ).

Sidney Post #17 Junior Eli Ahrens slides safely into second while Alliance shortstop Trevor DuBray reaches for a high throw in play at Legion Field Tuesday. Ahrens came around to score Sidney's first run in an 8-4 loss.
"It's character now," Sidney Post #17 Junior coach Ray Witt said Tuesday following the team's latest outing.
Sidney fell to Alliance 8-4, but Witt doesn't measure the team's successes or failures by that score.
"We're making leaps and bounds," Witt said. "It's not showing on the scoreboard, but they are doing the things they need to do to learn and grow."


Wilkes-Barre — Councilman and mayoral candidate Tony George means business. As mayor, he plans to apply to PennDOT for Multimodal Transportation Fund grants which will substantially improve and enhance business districts in various city neighborhoods. All of these grant funds encourage and recognize the leveraging of diverse grant funds to upgrade transportation, enhance communities, improve safety, revitalize neighborhoods and create jobs. Tony George expects that all City Departments will have an active role in this initiative including meeting in the neighborhoods with Business District partners and stakeholders to seek their guidance and input on how best to achieve these goals. These projects will not only improve the neighborhoods but promote economic opportunity thereby improving employment possibilities and increasing the City's tax base.

Each week, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what's worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what's not. From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are.

Death of a Starlet

In August of 1980, Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten was found dead at just 20 years old. She was the girl next door with the shy smile and whispery voice who didn't know her own beauty. To Hugh Hefner, she was his next Marilyn Monroe. To famed director Peter Bogdonovich, she was his muse. And to her husband, Paul Snider, she was his ticket to fame and fortune. All three ambitious men adored her. Only one of them murdered her. How did Dorothy's Hollywood dreams lead to her death?

From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime (The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders) comes a six-part series about love, sex and murder. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

What in the World is a Zouave?
Imagine it's October 1861. You're a Confederate soldier from Florida, encamped along Pensacola Bay. One afternoon, your commander says to get your equipment together and prepare for a night attack against Wilson's Zouaves on Santa Rosa Island.
Fine, you say, but what in the world is a zouave?
Portrait of Brevet Brigadier General William Wilson, commander of the Sixth New York Volunteers, also known as "Wilson's Zouaves." Note that Wilson's attire here is not that of traditional zouave soldiers (circa 1860s).
In this particular case, the Zouaves were soldiers from the 6th New York Volunteer Infantry, which had been sent to the Pensacola area to defend United States military installations, including forts McRee, Pickens and Barrancas.
The term zouave is French, first used to identify regiments in the French Army populated by recruits from the Zouaoua tribe in Algeria. The first French zouaves appeared in 1831, and were distinguished by their unique uniform. The soldiers wore open-fronted jackets with baggy trousers, often colored red.
Wilson's Zouaves, named for Brevet Brigadier General William Wilson, were organized in New York City. The "Zouaves" title appears to have been more of a nickname in this case, as images of the 6th New York Volunteers show its members dressed in standard military uniforms. The regiment left New York in June 1861 aboard the steamer Vanderbilt and headed for Pensacola Bay.

Included as an illustration in Gouverneur Morris, The History of a Volunteer Regiment, being a succinct account of the organization, services, and adventures of the Sixth Regiment New York Volunteers Infantry, known as Wilson Zouaves (1891). This rare book is part of the Florida Collection at the State Library.
In Florida, an uneasy peace had settled between the Union forces stationed at Fort Pickens and the Confederates holding the mainland along Pensacola Bay. The Confederates had sunk several vessels in the channel leading from Pensacola Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, to stave off a large-scale Union invasion. The federals had retaliated by setting fire to a large dry dock and other naval repair facilities in the area. They also burned the Confederate blockade runner Judah as it sat anchored in the harbor.
Camp of the Sixth New York Volunteers on Santa Rosa Island (1861).
By this time, Wilson's Zouaves were encamped on Santa Rosa Island, just east of Fort Pickens. General Braxton Bragg, at that time commander of Confederate forces in Pensacola, ordered an assault on the Union-held fort. General Richard Anderson had responsibility for carrying out the attack. Just after midnight on October 9, 1861, Anderson and a force of 1,200 Confederate soldiers crossed Pensacola Bay in two steamers and landed on Santa Rosa Island, far east of the Zouaves' camp. Anderson divided his men into three columns and began marching west toward the New Yorkers.
The Sixth New York was indeed surprised by Anderson's tactics. The camp was awakened when some of its pickets fired their guns in warning, and the Union soldiers put up a fight, but ultimately they fell back to Fort Pickens.

Once Anderson's attack began, Union commanders were able to send for reinforcements, which eventually forced the Confederates to retreat to the mainland. Fort Pickens remained in Union control, as it would until the end of the war. Wilson's Zouaves, in the meantime, continued to serve in the Gulf region. Some companies stayed close to Pensacola, while others were sent to Louisiana.

Q: Code successfully runs on one machine, but on another yields "TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects" I have a script which utilizes the Py-ART package to read in airborne weather radar data and then perform quality control on said data. I'll note that I suspect this is not an issue with that package, otherwise I'd just post an issue to that repo...
The confusing aspect of this issue is that the code runs flawlessly on my machine, in both Python 2.x and 3.x, though it fails with the following error on a colleague's machine in Python 2.x:
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
The error is triggered upon trying to execute the final line of this block of code:
az_raw = radar.azimuth['data'].data
roll = radar.roll['data'].data
azmth = az_raw + roll
azmth[azmth < 0] += 360

Some potential clues I've deduced from investigating the issue:

*

*On my machine, where the code runs properly, the az_raw and roll variables are read in as arrays of type float32, whereas on my colleague's machine, these variables have a Buffer type. Upon adding the contents of roll to az_raw (element-by-element), azmth remains as an array of float32 on my machine, and becomes an array of str on the other machine.

*Py-ART uses the netCDF4 package to read in the data from the netCDF input files - perhaps there is a machine and/or version related issue here?

*The issue persists regardless of the input file (i.e., we've tried several, and from different data collection periods/projects with the same results.
So ultimately, my question comes down to what would cause a TypeError like this on one machine but not another when all else appears to be the same? I suppose there could be a dependency version difference (of Py-ART, netCDF4, etc.) between the two machines, but it's not clear to me how that would cause such an issue. Has anyone seen anything similar to this before?

A: Agree with Norrius. There is a dependency issue. How was Py-ART installed on each machine? The best way to ensure things work is to use a Conda Environment so you can control (and isolate) dependancies.
Actually now I look at the error (Buffer versus float) I know your colleague's machine has outdated packages including Numpy. If he updates numpy (this is an issue in the IO area, I think https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.frombuffer.html, versus fromstring )
Please also note Py-ART support for Python 2.x will be dropped very soon. The next version we release, by October, will see our CI for 2.x turned off.

Q: Conclusions of The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra over $\Bbb{C}$. Conclude from the fundamental theorem of algebra that, over the complex numbers,  every real polynomial can be written as a multiplication of real polynomials of degree 1 or 2. I am completely confused here. I know there has got to be a root over C but however, I can't seem to find a way to approach this supposedly simple conclusion. I could really use some help here.

A: Take a real polynomial $P$.
As conjugation preserve products and sums, we know that $\forall x\in\mathbb C,~P(x) = 0 \Leftrightarrow P(\overline x)=0$.
Note that
$$(X-x)(X-\overline x) = X^2 - 2Re(x)X + |x|^2 \quad (\star),$$
a real polynomial.
Starting from the factorisation $$P = \lambda \prod_{i=1}^p (X - x_i),$$
(given by the fundamental theorem) where $x_i\in\mathbb C$, you can reorder the terms so that either $x_i$ is real, else $x_i = \overline x_{i+1}$.
The terms with $x_i$ real are the degree 1 terms of the factorisation, and with $(\star)$, you have your terms of degree 2.

Liutgard von Zähringen (auch Lütgard bzw. Liutgard von Kärnten genannt, * um 1047, † 9. Juli um 1119 oder 18. März 1119) war eine Gräfin aus dem Geschlecht der Zähringer. Sie war die einzige Tochter von Berthold I. von Zähringen und (wahrscheinlich) seiner ersten Frau Richwara, Tochter von Herzog Konrad II. von Kärnten. Sie wurde die Gemahlin von Diepold II. von Vohburg und somit Markgräfin von Cham-Vohburg; ihr gemeinsamer Sohn war Diepold III. von Vohburg. Nach dem Tode Diepolds II. soll sie sich in zweiter Ehe mit dem bayerischen Grafen Ernst I. von Grögling vermählt haben und um 1096/98 erneut Witwe geworden sein; diese auf besitzgeschichtlichen Argumenten beruhende Behauptung ist aber umstritten.

Klostergründungen
Liutgard war 1102 Mitbegründerin des Klosters Kastl, und zwar zusammen mit ihrem Bruder Gebhard III. von Zähringen, Bischof von Konstanz, und den anderen Besitzern der  Burg Kastl, Graf Berengar von Sulzbach, Friedrich I. von Habsberg-Kastl und seinem Sohn Graf Otto von Habsberg-Kastl. Bischof Gebhard war ursprünglich Mönch von Hirsau, von dem die cluniazensischen Reformbewegung ihren Ausgang nahm, und wurde Führer der papsttreuen Opposition gegen Kaiser Heinrich IV., deshalb kann man annehmen, dass cluniazensisches Gedankengut auch von Liutgard geteilt wurde. Sie ist als "Seele der Gründung" in die Klostergeschichte Kastls eingegangen.

Zusammen mit ihrem Sohn Diepold III. war sie 1118 auch Gründerin des Klosters Reichenbach am Regen, das zuerst von Mönchen des Klosters Kastl besiedelt wurde.

Der Name Liutgard im Geschlecht der Zähringer
Liutgard war ein häufiger Name im Geschlecht der Zähringer, bekannt sind vor allem eine Liutgard als Gemahlin des Grafen Landolt I. von Nellenburg, vermutlich einem Sohn von Guntram dem Reichen, und eine Liutgard als Tochter des Berthold II. von Zähringen, der Gemahlin des Pfalzgrafen bei Rhein Gottfried von Calw, mit der sie oft verwechselt wird. Auch diese hatte wieder eine Tochter desselben Namens, deren Schwester Uta von Schauenburg war. Weiterhin besitzt auch Graf Berthold IV. von Zähringen eine Tochter mit diesem Namen.

Lidia Menapace, Italian Resistance member, dies at age 96
By FRANCES D'EMILIO
ROME (AP) — Lidia Brisca Menapace, a Resistance member during World War II who later was an advocate of pacifism and women's rights and was elected to the Italian Senate on a Communist party ticket, has died. She was 96.
Italian state radio said she had been hospitalized for several days with COVID-19 in Bolzano, the Alpine city where she had lived in latter decades. She died early Monday in the hospital.
As young woman, Lidia Brisca pedaled a bicycle to deliver messages to Resistance fighters, known as Partisans, based in the countryside of the northern Piedmont region of her birth. La Repubblica daily said she had to memorize coded messages. The Partisans fought both the Fascists of Benito Mussolini's regime and German occupying troops during the war.
Later, following her husband, Eugenio Menapace, who was from the northern province of Trentino, she took up life in Italy's Alpine area and became involved in post-war politics. She was the first woman to be elected to the provincial legislature of Bolzano, another Alpine province.

She remained proud of the Resistance spirit, remarking that she was still a Partisan, because "being so is a choice of life."
Italian President Sergio Mattarella paid tribute to her Monday, noting she was "strongly committed to the themes of peace."
She was born on April 3, 1924, in the Piedmont town of Novara.
In its obituary, La Repubblica quoted her as explaining, on her 90th birthday, that her passion for women's freedom derived from her mother's "ethical code" for her two daughters. That code consisted of advising the girls to stay economically independent, so you can "do what you want, you can keep your husband or ditch him or find another. The important thing is you must not need to ask him for money for stockings."
Menapace served in the Senate from 2006 to 2008, elected on a Communist Refoundation party ticket. She also was one of the forces behind the birth of Manifesto, a leftist daily.
"With Lidia Menapace is gone a free and strong voice, a constant reference in every struggle for women, for the rights of everyone, for peace," said Democratic Party lawmaker Piero Fassino, a former mayor of Turin, the capital of Piedmont.
She made her last appearance at a political rally almost exactly a year ago, in Bolzano, supporting a new grassroots group that calls itself Sardine. Its goal is to get as many possible citizens to peacefully pack public squares to make their voices heard on important issues.

No offense, but the Lyndon Baines Johnson Department of Education building in Washington, DC is not a pretty sight.
Crossing the National Mall on 4th street, you pass between the glisteningly modern National Air and Space Museum and the sculpted brown stone of the National Museum of the American Indian to come face to face with what can only be described as a monument to bland austerity.
It was at the base of this concrete and glass slab that a band of public school teachers, university professors, librarians, parents, and students gathered to speak out against the nation's current regime of testing students, firing teachers, and closing public schools.
For four straight days, speaker after speaker spoke, shouted, and sang into a microphone placed near the entry way of a building bearing the name of an American president who arguably did more to advance the well being of poor people than any other political leader in American history. The group railed at the building and its occupants – especially Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
The speakers exhorted the audience to chant protestations to the building, turn their backs to it, shake their fists at it, and curse it.
Why so much anger thrown toward a very big, ugly building?
These are things, it would seem, worth getting upset about – if it weren't happening in a capital city where getting upset is viewed as unseemly.
Of course, like most undernon-funded grassroots efforts, the speakers were not vetted through a PR staff that would normally accompany a DC event. So one speaker said something reprehensible that everyone else participating in the event deeply regretted.
Although the crowds for both events have been relatively small, the organizers and participants this year, Jones, maintained, have been pumped up significantly by recent events, such as the successful Chicago teachers strike and the boycott of standardized testing in Seattle and elsewhere.
The resistance tactic of boycotting or "opting out" of high-stakes testing was a focal point of the event. The first four speakers, who were the principal event organizers, each exhorted parents to exclude their children from the tests, teachers to refuse to give them, and students to refuse to take them.
But based on what the rest of the event's speakers said, and conversations heard in the audience, it's broadly acknowledged that problems with current education policies extend way beyond testing alone, and just saying no to tests is not viable in every situation.
Parent activist Leonie Haimson, and founder-leader of a grassroots group Class Size Matters, warned that current education policies are headed toward a "two tiered system" in which more well-off parents get to send their children to schools with small class sizes and well-rounded curriculum, while less well off parents are relegated to schools with big class sizes, narrow, test-driven curriculum, and governance dominated by "big data" rather than research-based practices.
Early childhood education expert Nancy Carlson Page warned that the same kind of reforms damaging elementary-secondary education are being pushed down to the classroom of youngest children.
While she applauds the Obama administration's recent proposals to make pre-K education more accessible, she worried that the designs of programs being pushed by the new policies would follow the same mistaken guidelines of Race to the Top and other edicts that mandate standards and accountability without regard to the developmental needs of young children.
"The expectation that little kids are going to learn the same things at the same rate at the same time is wrong," Page declared.
Literacy expert Stephen Krashen warned about the unprecedented level of testing in American schools – "more than we have ever seen on the planet." Krashen decried the "enormous costs" of the testing mandates – New York City and the state of Florida alone are expected to spend more than half-a-billion dollars each just to enable the Internet connections the tests require. He pointed out how in tough economic times these expenditures take away from more worthy basic needs like expanded breakfast and lunch programs, school nurses, and libraries with books.
And then there were the stories. Counter balancing the current fad to base education policy solely on numerical data – regardless of the merit of the source – this event offered an abundance of stories about the reality in schools today.
Katie Osgood who currently works on a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit in Chicago recounted her experiences in dealing with the traumatic fallout of school reform measures.
"The busiest admission weekend in the history of our hospital was the week before the tests this year," she observed.
Osgood also relayed incidents of children being traumatized by school closures and harsh discipline policies employed in charter schools that don't follow the regulations that are required of traditional public schools.
Numerous teachers and administrators spoke about being compelled to engage in education practices they believe compromise their professional ethics.
Amidst the critiques of the current administration there were proposed solutions as well, including smaller class sizes, services that attend to students' health, nutrition, and emotional needs, and increased access to libraries, art and music programs, and other academic pursuits that are often cast aside due to wave after wave of testing.
But make no mistake, the mood of the crowd was indeed angry, and when the throng gathered to march to the White House, their numbers grew from a few score to 200 – 300. As a police contingency escorted the demonstrators along the National Mall, onlookers shouted encouragement, with some jumping off the sidewalk to join in, so the crowd grew as it advanced down the street.
Do such outpourings make a difference? Who knows, but progressives everywhere need to understand that we are about to head into a very angry season. The same administration assaulting public schools is about to be the first Democratic presidential office to cut Social Security and Medicare – the New Deal compacts that support the nation's poor and middle class.
We should be angry. But this anger is too readily dismissed by the current cynicism dominating media outlets these days.
Progressives who believe in the need for change can't be deterred. . . .


Single Speed Brewery began operating in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 2012 with a brewing operation and a taproom that seats about 40. Success came quickly, and the company began scouting spots for a second location within several months of opening.
Finding a space suitable for a craft beer operation and a restaurant can be a challenge, so Dave Morgan, founder of Single Speed Brewery, was fortunate to learn about a shuttered Hostess Bread factory in nearby Waterloo. Built in 1927, the factory was a fixture of downtown Waterloo for decades. Given its historic nature, Morgan was able to win financial support from the National Parks Service and the State Historical Society of Iowa to save the facility by converting it to Single Speed's second location.
To prepare a proposal for agency support, Morgan and the architecture team, along with a hired historian, researched the building's earlier days. "Once we started to pull the historical drawings on the space from the '50s and '60s, we saw how beautiful it was. We saw the building not only had character in it already but that it would be full of character if we renovated it back to that standard. That became our goal," Morgan says. The building's windows were one important part of this restoration. With some reaching nearly 14 feet high, they, at one time, had filled the space with natural light. Over the years these windows were bricked up as the space became more factory-like. Single Speed's renovation restored the windows, bringing back character to the old building.
Single Speed's beer hall features stained concrete floors, wooden picnic tables, a blackened ceiling and light fixtures made of bicycle tires. The space also includes the "proofing lounge," marked by wooden rafters. This feature sits in the exact spot where the bread factory's proofing box once stood. While it makes for a pleasant space, recognizing the proofing box was also a requirement of the Historical Society, as was restoring the exterior Wonder Bread sign.
Working with the State Historical Society was not hard, Morgan says, but it was stressful in the early stages of the project. Though the support from this group allowed Single Speed to do more with the renovation, assembling a proposal for support is time consuming, expensive and offers no guaranteed return.
The beer hall is also designed to generate energy and community. It features an open kitchen, which adds excitement and movement to the room. All seating is hardwood, including stools and picnic tables. These tables in particular encourage guests to sit together and hopefully interact. "We're not going to force people to talk to each other, but you find out a lot of neat stuff if you share space with other people," Morgan says.
Morgan describes the new brewery's design as urban industrial, with lots of hard surfaces and "raw" materials. The exception is the dining room, which has carpeting, upholstered booths and a softer color palette. Tables are constructed with ash made from trees killed by the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect in North America. Art in the dining room, and throughout the restaurant, is bicycle-inspired.
Encouraging cycling and outdoor activity in general are big parts of Single Speed's brand and mission. The company sponsors regular bike rides and even recently hosted a beer mile — a one-mile run with a beer chugged every quarter mile.
Since it targets an active crowd, Single Speed accommodates this group with an indoor bike corral where guests can park their ride while they enjoy a drink and bite to eat. The corral includes an air pump, water bottle filling station and bike repair tools. The corral's bike racks, meanwhile, are made from conveyor belt rollers from the building's bakery days.

Who Won The Amazing Race Last Year?
Who Won The Amazing Race Season 30 and What Are They Up to Now?
• Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson were the victorious team.
• The duo previously appeared and met on Big Brother 19.
• In the time since, the pair has gotten married and welcomed their first child.
Fans are excited for the new season of The Amazing Race—it will be the 31st cycle for the show that's been around since 2001. As the show gets ready to introduce a brand-new race around the world (for a grand prize worth competing for), it's a good opportunity to refresh our memories a little bit about how exactly Season 30 came to a close a year ago, and what those winners have been up to in the time since.
Who won The Amazing Race last season?
The last season of The Amazing Race—Season 30—was won by the team of Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf. The couple had previously competed on Season 19 of Big Brother (where they met and initially became a couple), and were the very first team announced for Amazing Race's 30th go-around. Nickson, from Plano, Texas, and Graf, from Los Angeles, come from obviously different backgrounds, but their shared experiences helped them wind up victorious and win the million-dollar prize.
Nickson and Graf essentially won The Amaazing Race by playing the long game. The duo never placed below sixth in any leg of the race, and on average placed second—good enough to stick around and eventually come away victorious in the end. At one point, the team (#TeamBigBrother, as they were referred), were U-Turned by Lucas and Brittany, which momentarily put their season hopes on the ropes. But they managed to arrive at the pit stop before Eric and Daniel Guiffreda, which saved their chances and allowed them to continue on in the competition.
For most of the final leg of the race, Graf and Nickson were in second place. They managed to pull ahead and win the entire thing when Graf completed the Road Block Challenge before the two other teams that remained in competition.
The two pairs of runners-up for Season 30 were Team Yale, made up of debate team compettitors Henry Zhang and Evan Lynak, and also Team Extreme, composed of professional freestyle skiers Kristi Leskinen and Jen Hudak.
What are the winners up to since last season?
Quite a bit. Nickson and Graf have taken their relationship to the next level—they got married last fall, and welcomed their first child (via an emergency caesarian section procedure, which she discussed on her podcast—more on that below) in March 2019. The couple's plans for their Amazing Race prize money—after taxes are taken out, of course—is to move to Dallas and buy a house.
In the time since, Graf has started her own podcast, titled Now What?, where she interviews friend, family, and other reality, movie, television, and media stars of all different backgrounds. Her husband has been a frequently recurring guest.
