Interview with Bernard Sterry and Cecilia Pearson
ASterryBS-PearsonC180725.mp3
Bernard Sterry and Cecilia Pearson, both born in Hull, talk about their lives as evacuees during the war. Bernard, who was 10 years old when war broke out, was evacuated from Hull to North Lincolnshire until September 1944, when he came back home at the age of 15 and got a job as an apprentice electrician. Cecilia was six when war was declared. She was also evacuated to North Lincolnshire, to Winterton and other places; she remembers the day her father was killed. Bernard and Cecilia both remember seeing Hull burning from the distance. Bernard tells of his dad, a bus conductor, who volunteered for the RAF in 1940; after doing his initial training at Blackpool, he was sent to RAF St Athan to become an engine fitter; he was then shot down by a German aircraft after a training exercise on a Stirling. Bernard later found out that the aircraft that had shot down his father, was in turn shot down shortly afterwards by a Mosquito over the North Sea. Among the various episodes, Bernard witnessed in early 1945, the bombing of a cinema in Hull and the people killed were the last civilian casualties of World War Two in Britain to be caused by enemy aircraft.

IL: Uh Ian locker uh interviewing Bernard Sterry and Cecilia Pearson at Cecilia's home in Walkington near Beverley, East Yorkshire. Bernard, I understand you're starting. Tell us about your early life then with your father in Hull.
BS: Well, we lived next door to a school, so I went to that school, but we moved from there when I was about seven, I think eight
IL: [unclear]
BS. We moved a bit further out of town uh, up Beverley Road and we got some bombs there and we had to move out of that
IL: Right. Some bombs!
BS: Yeah
IL: When, so when was that?
BS: Oh, when the war started, yeah
IL: Right. So how old were you when the war started?
BS: Ten
CP: Ten
IL: Right
BS: So uh, we uh, we moved to Adderbury Grove after we got bombed out of uh Epworth street and we stayed there until that, well I stayed there until I got married and you probably did and uh
CP: Well other then being evacuated
BS: Right yes, was evacuated. War, I heard the war being declared on the radio or wireless as it was then on the Sunday the third of September. On the fourth of September the three of us, because we had another sister, they went to an aunt of my mothers, who brought her up and I went to a cousin of my mothers in a place called Winterton, over in Lincolnshire
IL: Right okay
BS: You probably it
IL: Yes, I do
BS: Yeah and I went round about four different places before I finally got settled with a family at Roxby which is about another couple of miles further out, nearer to Scunthorpe. I went to school there for a little while until what, when I was 11 I think and I went to Winterton School and uh when I was 14 uh, my mother saw the headmaster and convinced him that I had to stay on another year because she was in the ambulance service and she was working 24 hours a day and then 24 hours off and then so she [unclear] couldn't do with me at home, she couldn't look after me so I was there until uh the august in 1944, that would be, I think yes and then I came home and I got a job as an apprentice electrician so I stayed there
BS: Who's that lot?
CP: You!
BS: Me?
IL: Found a newspaper cutting of Bernard being commonly fed at Winterton School
BS: That'll be me there with the glasses on, on that side
IL: So you were away, so you were evacuated from Hull for the whole war?
CP: Yeah
BS: No, until
CP: No, [unclear]
BS: September '44
BS: When I came home, I was 15 to that time and I came home and got a job as an apprentice electrician
IL: Right. So, did you see any, did, could you look across the water and see any of the bombing of Hull?
BS: Oh yeah, it was light up like a Christmas tree and you see the bombers in the searchlights as they're coming over there's a bit of a direct line it was known [unclear] about eighteen, twenty miles I think but we, I used to stand outside watching. You could see the searchlights pick up on the aircraft and [mimics anti-aircraft fire] you could hear the guns going but uh I don't know, what else
IL: No. Was Scunthorpe bombed?
BS: Oh, they managed to, they managed to get a [unclear] down near Lysaght Steel Works and they killed a donkey in a field and that was it
BS: So, they should know where Scunthorpe was because they built the steel works [unclear]
IL: Right [laughs]. So what about you Cecilia, where you?
CP: I was born in Blundell Street, the same as Bernard next door to the school and Epworth Street, Adderbury Grove but I, I can remember that night that we were all outside because dad had picked me up when the war was announced we were outside in Epworth Street, weren't we? Yeah
CP: And then from there I was six, just six and then I went to Winterton as Bernard said and I was moved about nine times in about six years
IL: So were you moved around members of the family or were these
CP: No
IL: Was this, just strangers?
CP: Yes, strangers. The first one was mum's aunt and then we moved to various strangers in Winterton, various places and then Stella and I were split up [unclear], wouldn't she?
BS: She [unclear]
CP: And I went to Elsham there and I was there a couple of years I think and then from Elsham I went to Horkstow and was at school in Saxby,
CP: Yes, Saxby, but we could see Hull burning from the school windows. Uhm when dad got killed, the lady I was living with in Horkstow, uhm I was outside, and she just came outside and said your father's been killed and walked back in
BS: She was a bit cold, wasn't she?
CP: [unclear]
IL: So, how old were you then, how old were you then?
CP: When dad got killed, I was ten
CP: But I lived [unclear] in there at Winterton and there's a gentleman there and had a big store, didn't he? Mr Wilfred
BS: Yes
CP: Had the store and they, they were [unclear], he even walked from Winterton to Horkstow to bring me a present at Christmas. He was a bachelor wasn't he [unclear], he had a housekeeper
BS: He had two sisters, I believe
CP: Yeah, housekeeper and then I was 12, wasn't I, when I came home
BS: Could be
CP: Yeah. I didn't go to dad's funeral I wasn't allowed to go said I was too young
BS: Well I was at home
CP: You got the telegram, didn't you?
BS: When I found the telegram on the uh floor when they opened the front door, telegram was on the floor I picked it up and that's it, I was the first to know. I took it up to mother uh, she was at an ambulance station and she promptly fainted and then we went and told my dad's mum and father and they were absolutely shocked we would imagine that uh my grandfather didn't last too long after that it seemed to go downhill really shockingly because I don't think he was in too much health to start with so that was it more or less
CP: I can remember dad coming home on leave 48 hour passes and being home and they dropped a bomb in Melbot Grove digging this crater because dad, we were in the shelter and dad went out to help didn't he?
IL: So how, did you, did you keep it, did how did you keep in touch or did you see each other when you were
CP: He used to come to see me
BS: Yeah, I was going on a bike and go to see her
IL: Right. So when did you see your mom?
CP: Occasionally
BS: Very infrequently
IL. Right
CP: Occasionally, I think maybe three times
IL: During the entire time you were evacuated?
BS: Your father and I came across [unclear] at one time to see us
CP: Yes I was in the playing field and we were all lined up ready to come in and I saw dad and I ran out, I ran to him and he said oh go back, go back you'll get into trouble and the teacher said no, no that's fine and then it went home, you know, went off
IL: So, when he came home on leave, did you usually see him?
BS: Sometimes
CP: I think he was going about three to three or four times that's all then, so we've seen them about four times
IL: So, did he come to see you or did you come back to home?
CP: We came to Hull
CP: Came on the ferry
BS: Well I was at home on Easter, er when his last visit, when he came home on leave, it was in the Easter of 1944 and that was the last time I spoke
IL: So obviously we're mainly talking about from the bomber command perspective your father, what did your father do before the war?
BS: Well, he served his time as a cooper
IL: Right!
BS: With the parent company
CP: Johnsons
BS: And when he was 21 he got the push [unclear] apprentices [unclear]
IL: Yeah
BS: And [coughs] excuse me, he went uh with the Hull cooperation transport as a conductor and he was on trams for a little while and then uh, he got transferred onto buses
IL. Alright
CP: He [unclear]
BS: He was a bus conductor until the war broke out when he volunteered [unclear]
IL. When did he volunteer?
BS: Would be yeah
IL: Thanks
IL: And did he have any, so did he volunteer straight away for the RAF or was he?
BS: Well he wanted the RAF
CP: Yeah, yeah
IL: Alright
CP: Went straight into
BS: Did he have any uhm, did he have any connection to the RAF?
CP: No, whatsoever his brother wouldn't go in, would he? He was, his brother was a conscientious objector, wasn't he?
CP: He wanted to know everything about it and dad wasn't prepared to tell him
BS: Dad was killed on uh just after a training exercise had been on and they were landing at their own airfield and a German aircraft followed them in and shot them down as they were landing. The way I understood it, they bounced off a couple of aircraft and banged into a hangar and that was it.
IL: Right. So what was he flying in when he was?
BS: Stirling
CP: Stirling
BS: Stirling bomber
CP: He didn't like then, did he? He hated them
BS: He was a flight engineer
IL: Right. So what sort of things was he doing, sorry, let's, if we just take a step back then. So, when he joined the RAF what, can you tell us what you know about his service in the RAF?
BS: Well, he did his square bashing at Blackpool
BS: And they were actually stationed at some of the hotels in Blackpool obviously because of shortages at camps, I suppose who had been so busy and when he finished that he went off to St Athans
BS: To train as a uh engine uh fitter
BS: And it was it's quite a long course actually and then he was on ground crew for a while and he volunteered for the aircrew
CP: But his commander didn't want him to fly, did he?
BS: No
CP: He wanted him to stay ground staff
IL: Who, sorry, who didn't?
CP: His commander
CP: He wanted to stay ground staff but he wouldn't, he wanted, maybe because he was quite a bit older than the others they were like in the 20s weren't they?
IL: Well, I was going to say how old was your father?
CP: Dad was 37 when he was killed
IL: Right. So he was, so that
CP: Like 32
IL: So he'd be about 32 when he when he joined, when he joined up
CP: So the others were just boys weren't they?
BS: They used to call him puff
BS: The aircrew
CP: So he was, he wanted to keep up with him I suppose didn't he? Wanted to do his bit not because he was older
IL: So, as ground crew, do you know where he where he was stationed when he was ground crew?
BS: Don't really remember
IL: Right. You don't have any, no, you don't know particularly what aircraft he was working, he worked so?
BS: No, not as an engine fitter, no
CP: No, either
IL: Right. So when did he when did he volunteer for aircrew?
BS: I don't know, he was ground crew for a while.
BS: '44, no, it would be late '43 when he volunteered I rarely 40 but he volunteered for aircrew because he was still on the training when he got killed
IL: Right, okay, so he was, so he was training to be a flight engineer
CP: But the last fortnight that he was alive, they'd been flying day and night
BS: OH yeah
CP: And they were tired out and sick and fed up a bit, he'd written to his mother
CP: That he was
IL: But these,
CP: So [unclear] tired
IL: These were just training, he was just training missions
CP: Yeah [unclear] fighter, cause he came out of the sky and shot them down
BS: As far as we know, he was on training, but training flights often uh used to cover what they called gardening, dropping mines off the coast, Dutch coast
CP: But they've been getting ready for D-day, haven't they? I think that's why they've been flying day and night
BS: Well that was a week after
BS: It was exactly a week before, it was on a wet Sunday 1944 when he was killed Sunday no, Sunday night, Monday morning, half past two on the Monday morning, when he was killed
CP: 31st, was it 29th or 30th?
BS: 29th
CP: 29th
BS: And he, uh you interrupted my train of thought there
CP: Sorry?
BS: You interrupted my train of thought
IL: You were talking, you were talking about some of these training flights being mine laying
BS: That's right yeah, they did. It wasn't officially [unclear] but that's what they did, it's part of the training but actually they were a bit of a dodgy [unclear] laying mines because the Germans would often be waiting for they but they certainly followed him but I
CP: He had orders to land, didn't he? He just had orders to land
BS: [unclear] I went to the Lancaster at, what they call it? East Kirkby
BS: You know it, yeah. I went there on my 65th birthday I think it was not, maybe not, maybe later uh it was a treat for me from the family apparently and I went into that Lancaster when we went out about when it came back and I, there was a German uh fellow on the aircraft he'd come across and he was there like and he was talking to me and I told him what had happened and he said, oh, he said I'll find out about that. So he wrote to me and told me exactly what had happened and there was two of them on the aircraft, it was a twin-engine aircraft and they gave me the names and ranks
CP: What, the one that shot him down?
BS: They were shot down by a Mosquito. Apparently, it was the only aircraft over England that day
IL: Right. So they would, so the aircraft that shot your father down was also, was then late it was was shot down by mosquitoes that night
BS: It was shot into North Sea, yeah
IL: Gosh!
BS: So there was two of them on that, that they got killed as well
CP: Was it blue two planes that had been hammered into? Dumped right into the hangar [unclear]?
BS: They hit two aircraft and bounced into the hangar
BS: And they wasn't actually going [unclear]
CP: No, certainly he was shot down, he bounced in and took two others with him
BS: They hit the hangar
IL: So, did you ever have any contact with any of the other people from, where was he stationed when he was killed, sorry?
CP: Bury St Edmunds
BS: No, he wasn't. When he was killed, he was at Spring, Spring Cottage I think it was, it was a satellite ground for uh Stradishall
BS: Which is now HMP prison
BS: But uh that's where he was when he was killed
IL: Okay. Did you ever have any contact with any, you know, station commander or?
BS: There was a, an officer came from the camp uh to refuel them
BS: But uh that was the only contact we had
IL: So, presumably his funeral was in Hull?
BS: Oh yeah he's in Chanterlands Avenue.
CP: Your mum got five pounds to order it, didn't she?
BS: Sorry?
CP: Mum got five pounds to order his funeral from the [unclear], to bring him home
BS: Uhm they paid for the, all commissions paid for the stone and they maintain it because I wanted to print the names on to make it stand out and I was told by uh Gary, the funeral undertaker that uh I couldn't do it, I wouldn't be allowed
CP: I know, bless you, to [unclear] proper dues
BS: So, I didn't do it, but they do clean them up now and again
CP: I cleaned it up last time I went
BS: And they recut the letters on it names you don't know that but that's infrequently. I don't know, what else I can tell you about it? You'll have to tell me what you want to know.
IL: Well, whatever, it's your story you know uhm, anything you, if you want any details you want to tell me about your dad or about his service, um?
BS: Well we don't know much about that really except that he did serve time at St Athan as I said training as what we call it? Not as a flight engineer, he was on ground staff and he was a mechanic but uh, he was classed as a fitter, that was it, a fitter 2e that's what he was and it was an LAC there by that time and he only became a sergeant when he went to the, into aircrew
CP: On that last letter I think it said, from the last letter I think it was 1943.
IL: Did he?
CP: That last letter was five months before he got killed
IL: Did he talk about what he was doing when he came home more?
BS: No, not really, no
CP: He did to his parents I think but not
CP: Not in front of me he didn't. Don't know if he said anything to you
BS: No, what I think we were a bit too young really
CP: Yeah. Those kids were kids then, weren't they? You know what I mean
BS: And you were reminded fairly frequently
CP: Pardon?
BS: You were reminded fairly frequently that you were kids
CP: Should be seen and not heard
BS: Something like that, yes
CP: [unclear] should be seen and not heard, pity the [unclear] now [laughs]. And I belong then corporation [unclear], didn't he when before the war
BS: Yeah before the war
BS: Yeah, he got a few prizes for that
CP: You said it'd come out of the [unclear] in the recession wouldn't he, in the 30s
CP: And he went into corporation
BS: He, he was taken out of the paint industry when he served his time at 21. Nearly all apprentices, whatever trade you were, when you reached 21, out through the door
CP: And he got married then
BS: Well the father would, his father wouldn't allow him to get married before then
BS: Because our eldest sister, Stella, she was born before that
CP: Yeah, about eight months before they got married, wasn't she?
BS: He wouldn't allow him to get back until he was 21 which was the norm in those days, oh well
IL: What happened to your mum then after the war?
CP: My mum was in the ambulance service during the war
CP: She joined that and um wouldn't she? Driving ambulances and then she was at various jobs, didn't she?
CP: And then in 1955 she remarried
BS: Yeah, he was chief engineer on a trawler
CP: Yeah and then he died didn't he? And then she was a widow after that until she died what 80, 88 [unclear] wasn't she?
BS: No idea
IL: Right is there anything else you feel you need to, you'd like to tell me about?
CP: Well, we'll remember afterwards then [laughs]
BS: I saw a bomber taking off from Elsham, cause where I was, we were below the Lincolnshire Wolds and Elsham was on the top and you could see him taking off. He'd be flying north to take off and it got not far off the runway apparently when it blew up, so it left to be cold and stopped the other aircraft flying off from the red. So I understood from someone I was talking to some years after that there was everybody on the camp, including the group captain uh commander, he was out there with a shovel and anybody else who couldn't [unclear] filling it in and within just over half an hour or so they've been flying again, taking up on it and carrying on
CP: Mother got a machine gun in the corner of Beverley Road didn't she?
IL: Sorry?
CP: Mother and my friend got machine guns at the corner of Beverley Road
BS: No, they didn't
CP: Well that's what I was told
BS: Well you had more than I did right um
IL. Right. From a German plane?
CP: Yeah, [unclear] at the corner of Beverley Road and King Edward Street
BS: I saw
IL: When was that?
CP: I don't know what year it was, but I remember her saying that they had to get into a shop doorway to get out of the way
IL: It was that when they were on duties ambulance?
CP: No, no they were walking in Hull
CP: They were off-duty
BS: Well, I saw the last German aircraft over Hull and it shot up a cinema, two cinemas on Holderness Road, people were leaving, cause all the lights were on as they went out through the doors and they machine gunned them on the way out. I want them coming down the red himself because I was walking down King Edward Street that was nearly opposite Thornton valleys when it went over and I can see all the markers quite clearly on it and quite low down
IL: So when was that?
BS: That would be 1945, early 45.
IL: So it's fairly early
BS: That would be one of the last raids. I understood it was the last one
IL: I think it's the last actually, yes because I, I know that and I'm not 100 percent sure but I, I think that those were the last civilian deaths in the UK from enemy aircraft action
IL: The cinema queueing, the cinema [unclear] in Hull so if you saw that that's actually, that's really interesting
BS: Well, I saw it go over, I heard it
IL: So, is it a single engine or was it a two-engine fighter or?
Bs: No, it wasn't a fighter, it was a bomber I think
IL: All right
BS: But, uh or a fighter bomber, uh I heard the machine gunning so I was walking along, along King Edward Street that would be when they were [unclear] and the people leaving the cinema
BS: And that, I was on the side where he came across me sort of thing so he wouldn't see me because I was in the dark, uh couldn't see me on that side running a bit of moonlight probably I don't remember that much but uh
CP: People coming out with cinema they'd be littered
BS: But I was, I was in the dark it was all dark down there never had any streetlights of course in those days
IL: Just one just, maybe one last thing, uhm did you ever have, did you, were you ever conscious after the war of the sort of the lack of recognition of Bomber Command?
BS: Not really, not until
CP: [unclear], no,
BS: Not until
BS: Some years ago, [unclear] years ago [unclear] aware of it
CP: Cause it's always been Spitfires, hasn't it? Never Bomber Command, they [unclear]
IL: There was no, there was no, there was no, there was no sort of, you've never had occasion where you've maybe been talking about your father or his wartime service and people have been oh well you know Bomber Command and they were all, they didn't do a very good job, well they did a great job but you know that they were sort of, murdered lots of German civilians and
CP: I did meet a Luftwaffe pilot on holiday
BS: You did what?
CP: Met a Luftwaffe pilot on holiday
BS: Oh, do you?
CP: Yeah cause I was with these Germans, because for some reason people mistake me for German when you're on holiday, for some reason I don't know why um
IL: Is it because you keep taking the taking the sun lounges? [laughs]
CP: Maybe, yeah, could be
BS: You'll have to excuse for a moment
IL. No problem at all
CP: Was in this cafeteria at night time with these people and he came in and then you know we enjoyed the evening when, when he, when it was time to go he got up and kissed me and they all roared with laughing cause they never, they said, they never ever thought they'd see him kiss an Englander [laughs]
IL: Right. I'm going to I'm going to stop this now if we, if we'll just chat.

Stumbled onto the restaurant late on a Friday night. Good wine list for a small bar and we ate delicious Modena style street food. Great service and friendly atmosphere. We loved the place.
Was very impressed with quality of food. Nice little restaurant, feels very comfortable even going as a single person. The appetizer with parmiggiano, salami and Parma ham was amazing.
A pleasent experience. Restaurant is run by a young and dynamic Italien couple struggling like me with their German. Have a very nice lunch. And will for sure return if ever I am around.
With good wine when cold and really Italian smallgoods this is a friendly place in the middle of Aschaffenburg. The tigelle platters are nice as well and an always changing surprise. Smart concept, a shame for the uncomfortable chairs and tables.
Small, clean, comfortable, great service, extremely friendly, nice selection of real Italian home made FRESH foods together with a large choice of great wines and terrific Espresso, Cappuccino and coffee.

I have made the executive decision that these flatbread pizzas will be a weekly routine. There are countless variations and they are beyond fabulous; so enjoy yet another personal pizza recipe! More to come in the future!
Preheat oven to 400*. Line baking pans with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread slightly more than an tablespoon of Alfredo sauce onto the flatbreads (too much will result in the sauce running over the sides). I opted to salt and pepper the sauce lightly since it is a reduced fat Alfredo. Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 c. over the sauce which creates a sticky barrier to hold the ingredients on).
Arrange desired amount of red onion, spinach leaves, chicken, and bacon. Top with more shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes until the cheese is gooey and the flatbread begins to toast.


MARSHFIELD – The newborn puppies rescued from a trash can in Marshfield now have names.
In a Facebook post Tuesday, the Marshfield Area Pet Shelter announced the nine puppies are all named after cheese varieties: Blue, Brie, Cheddar, Colby, Feta, Fontina, Gouda, Muenster and Swiss.
"How appropriate that our WISCONSIN puppies who made international news have CHEESE-related names," the shelter wrote, followed by a cheese emoji.
Police pulled the Australian shepherd Labrador puppies from a trash can Feb. 28 after a salesman heard what sounded like kittens coming from the can in the 800 block of East Fourth Street in Marshfield. The puppies were taken to the pet shelter, where they are with their mother being cared for by a foster family.
The puppies, now almost a month old, are doing well and "growing like weeds," shelter founder Karen Rau said last week.
The shelter posted a video of the black and brown puppies Sunday, showing them walking around, playing with one another and making little squeaking sounds. According to the video, the puppies are becoming more active and their own unique personalities are beginning to emerge.
"These puppies are so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support from our community, and beyond," the shelter wrote in its post.
The puppies will be available for adoption when they are 2 months old, Rau said, but the shelter is not accepting adoption applications at this time. Adoption information will be released April 11, according to the shelter.
On Thursday, Wood County prosecutors charged Robert M. Wild, 56, with intentionally mistreating animals and intentionally abandoning animals, both misdemeanors. Police say he put the puppies in the trash can the day they were born. He will make his first appearance in court April 22, according to court records, and faces up to 18 months in jail if convicted.

In this action packed thriller, directed by Kader Ayd (Old School, A day like a week, Une revanche à prendre), brothers Tre and Mike set out in search of better lives, trying to leave behind their demons for good.

His older brother Tre begrudgingly agrees to one last "delivery", attempting to free Mike and his girlfriend from the grips of the criminal underworld. What transpires is a wild misadventure where multiple lives unknowingly intersect, and where decisions are made that will haunt everyone forever.
This exciting crime drama, set against the backdrop of the LA and Mexican border criminal underworld,expertly mixes action, comedy and suspense.

Q: Probability of maximum bigger than another maximum Given $n$ i.i.d. random variables $X_1, \ldots X_n \sim \mathcal{N}(0,\sigma_1^2)$ and  $n(n-1)/2$ i.i.d. random variables $Y_1, \ldots Y_{n(n-1)/2} \sim \mathcal{N}(0,\sigma_2^2)$ and independent w.r.t to the first set of random variables, I'm interested in the probability of the event
\begin{equation}
Z_0 := \max\{Y_1,\ldots,Y_{n(n-1)/2}\}> Z_1 :=\max\{X1,\ldots,X_n\}
\end{equation}
In particular I would like to have an asymptotic upper bound in terms of $\sigma_1,\sigma_2$ for the probability of the event. Simple computer simulations suggest that the probability goes to zero for large $n$ in the case where $\sigma_1^2 =2, \sigma_2^2=1$.
Attempt: I know that we can write the event as
\begin{equation}
\bigcup \limits_{t \in \mathbb{R}} \{ Z_0 > t \} \cap \{Z_1 = t\}
\end{equation}
and I also know that the cdfs for $Z_0$ and $Z_1$ are given by $\Phi(x/\sigma_2)^{n(n-1)/2}$ and $\Phi(x/\sigma_1)^{n}$ but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be very appreciated.
EDIT (ANSWER): The question got asked again and answered here, after I deleted it and posted it on this site.

A: Your problem is equivalent to the following:

*

*let $X_1$ be a random variable with c.d.f. $F_{X_1}(x)$ and p.d.f. $f_{X_1}(x)$.

*let $X_2$ be a random variable with c.d.f. $F_{X_2}(x)$ and p.d.f. $f_{X_2}(x)$.

What is the probability $P(X_1 < X_2)$?
The answer is
$$
P(X_1 < X_2) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}P(X_1 < x)f_{X_2}(x)dx = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}F_{X_1}(x)f_{X_2}(x)dx.
$$

BLOAT! but low dose is all you need.
You can go 10 mg / day. It has an active half-life of 6-8 hrs so you start to its effects within a couple days. Like Tammy said, you will see bloat - e.g. weight increase of 5 lb w/ in a few days. Because it has a short half-life, you can drop it pretty quickly as well. Its detection time is 6 weeks, so you're not stuck w/ any sides you want for months on end.
I would ask to you, what is the purpose & goal you'd be expecting from it? Just anecdotally, I don't hear of many women using it. The water bloat is a big deterrent - as most competitive women think of cycles in terms of competition cutting where you dont' want the water retention, or off-season for growth, but still don't want the water retention. You often hear guys refer to "moon face" from AAS w/ lots of water retention.
first, are you menopausal yet?
2nd, tons of water and no sweeteners can really help the bloat in the face and extremities. I have a powerlifter I am working with who is obviously working on increasing her strength, but wants to move up a class as well. she is using 2.5mg dbol 4x daily and 50mg inj every 3rd day. with a clean but +5% daily calorie increase, she is making great strides over the past 6 weeks. she will drop the dbol this week and ride out the winny only for another 4 weeks.
What's your thoughts on post menupausal supps for women and what have you seen different.I've been asked this by a post women.Any thoughts?
thanks for the info,she is waiting for bloodwork now.I will be real interested to she were she is at!!
i am curious why you chose this since you only have used var before. primo n var together would be a much better choice.


Further proof, as if we needed it, that you totally rock.
Just read your "American Changeling" on the Daily Science Fiction mailing list… AWESOME! In more ways than I can count… short stories are supposed to be very dense stuff, but this has more easter eggs in it than the Bunny's own basket, right down to the title itself!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And as for sequels, I have nothing to say on the matter and certainly not about any possible novels set in the American Changeling universe.

The Darla scarf is made of 100% habotai silk and bundle dyed with natural materials in small batches. It's light weight with a slight sheen making it the perfect accessory to cap any outfit during any season. Wear it as a neck scarf, tie up your hair, or wrap it on your favorite tote – the possibilities are endless and timeless. (I like one with everything!) Each silk is one of a kind to parallel the importance of empowering yourself through embracing your individuality and vulnerability.
Silk is a natural body temperature regulator. Silk thread contains natural proteins and 18 amino acids that are then tightly spun together, more specifically, the habotai silk fiber we use joins together the fragments after the silkworm breaks free of the cocoon. It helps retain heat in cold weather and dissipate heat in warm weather, allowing your body to maintain a natural and comfortable temperature. Not to mention it's hypoallergenic making it a perfect fabric for those with sensitive skin! It even helps reduce hair breakage and maintain hair moisture! AKA our botanically dyed silk scarves are perfect year round, whether it's around your neck or in your hair. Silk is pound-for-pound tensile strength greater than industrial steel. It is representative of the unparalleled strength and softness that exists in the femininity of woman-kind. The protein structure allows it to resist soils and odors, and it will absorb color quickly and can showcase rich hues. Although, much like us, it will grow and evolve over time. We hope that you embrace this evolution, like you do your own.
Silk is hand washable in cold water with a mild detergent or baby shampoo. Iron while damp, do not wring.
Colors may vary due to screen resolutions.

Fighting Their Way Westward: The Nomadic Yuezhi People
The Yuezhi were an ancient nomadic group of people from Central Asia who spoke an Indo-European language. It is likely that most people today are unfamiliar with the Yuezhi Civilization. As they were nomads, the Yuezhi are best-known for their migration westward, which had a chain reaction on the other civilizations in that region. The main sources of information regarding the Yuezhi are ancient Chinese records. Nevertheless, they have also been mentioned by some Western sources, and some of the coins minted by Yuezhi rulers have survived.
The Yuezhi Homeland
According to Sima (Zhang) Qian's Shiji (known also as the Records of the Great Historian ), which was completed towards the end of the 2nd century BC, the Yuezhi (月氏) were originally from the area between the Qilian Mountains and Dunhuang. In other words, the Yuezhi originated in the area which is now the Chinese province of Gansu.

An alternate interpretation of the text suggests that the Qilian Mountains may be a reference to the Tian Shan instead, as it has been speculated that the Chinese name of the mountain (i.e. Tian Shan) was derived from its name in the Xiongnu language (i.e. Qilian). Based on this interpretation, the Yuezhi are placed further west, in the northern part of modern Xinjiang. Another theory, based on older Chinese sources, suggests that the Yuezhi were originally from present day Mongolia, and only migrated to Dunhuang (either in Gansu or Xinjiang) later on.

A Series of Battles for the Nomads
Regardless of where the Yuezhi originated from, it is agreed that they were defeated by the Xiongnu, another nomadic tribe, during the 2nd century BC, and were forced to migrate to the west. The Yuezhi were then forced to migrate again, this time to the south, when they were attacked by the Wusun. Travelling south, the Yuezhi encountered the Graeco-Bactrian Kingdom, and defeated them, an event that was recorded not only in the ancient Chinese sources, but also by the Greek geographer, Strabo.
In the ancient Chinese sources, the Graeco-Bactrian Kingdom is referred to as Daxia (大夏). According to the Shiji, this country was located over 2000 li (1000 km/621.4 mi) to the southwest of Dayuan (大宛) (located in the Ferghana Valley), and to the south of the Gui (媯) (Oxus) River. In addition to Sima Qian's work, the invasion of the Graeco-Bactrian Kingdom can also be found in a 5th century AD piece of work known as the Hou Han Shu (also known as the Book of the Later Han ).

Both these ancient Chinese sources agree that the Yuezhi defeated Daxia. According to the Shiji, the Yuezhi established a royal court on the northern bank of the Gui River after attacking Daxia. According to the Hou Han Shu , the Yuezhi divided Daxia between five xihou ( 翖侯) ('Allied Princes'). In comparison, Strabo depicts the Yuezhi as a Scythian tribe:
"Now the greater part of the Scythians, beginning at the Caspian Sea, are called Däae, but those who are situated more to the east than these are named Massagetae and Sacae, whereas all the rest given the general name of Scythians, though each people is given a separate name of its own. They all [are] for the most part nomads. But the best known of the nomads are those who took away Bactriana from the Greeks, I mean the Asii, Pasiani, Tochari, and Sacarauli, who originally came from the country on the other side of the Iaxartes River that adjoins that of the Sacae and the Sogdiani and was occupied by the Sacae."

Changes to a Sedentary Lifestyle and New Empire
Following the conquest of the Graeco-Bactrian Kingdom, the Yuezhi abandoned their nomadic lifestyle, and became sedentary. Additionally, the adopted a Hellenized way of life, preserved their predecessors' agricultural and trading systems, and began using the Greek alphabet as well as minting coins in the Graeco-Bactrian style.
The Hou Han Shu says that the Yuezhi came to an end more than a hundred years after their conquest of the Graeco-Bactrian Kingdom (around 30 BC), when one of the xihou conquered his four co-confederates. The unified 'Yuezhi state' then extended its borders by invading such surrounding areas as Anxi (Parthia), Gaofu (the Kabul region) and Tianzhu (northwestern India). This resulted in the birth of the Kushan Empire, which existed until the 4th century AD.

Haywrire: Interview with Soderbergh
January 10, 2012 by EmanuelLevy
With his latest action-thriller, "Haywire," director Steven Soderbergh once again tackles a popular movie genre, adding elements that subtly turn the audience's expectations on their heads. Combining intrigue and suspense, complex characters and glamorous international settings with bone-crunching action, real-world special ops techniques and a charismatic female hero, the director has reinvented the espionage thriller.
"I am a fan of the early James Bond films," says Soderbergh. "'From Russia With Love' may be my favorite. In those movies, you get to know who the characters are instead of just what they do. In more recent espionage-action films, there isn't a lot of time spent developing the supporting characters. I wanted to revisit the early Bond films. Their ratio of story to action is very much like ours."
Soderbergh's longtime filmmaking partner, producer Gregory Jacobs, knew that the director had been interested in exploring the genre for some time. "The idea had a lot of appeal for him," says Jacobs. "He had always wanted to make a true action movie. We'd been thinking about it for a while when we contacted Lem Dobbs, who had written two films, The Limey and Kafka, for us in the past."
The resulting script is less a tribute to previous films than a complete reworking with a unique twist typical of Soderbergh. "I always wondered why the main character in these films had to be a guy," he says. "I find there's an added level of drama and conflict whenever you have a female protagonist. There's always the additional layer of operating in a world run by men. It's another wall that they have to go through. In addition to this being a story about espionage and covert operatives, it's also about the relationships our lead character has with the various male characters and how she functions in a male-dominated world."
There is nothing overtly feminist in the script. "It's rarely brought up that Mallory Kane is a woman. It's just a fact, and people make assumptions about her that turn out not to be true."
The director likes to describe the film as a Pam Grier movie made by Alfred Hitchcock. Character development was particularly important to him as he worked with Dobbs to flesh out Kane, a black-ops specialist working for a private security contractor. "I wanted to layer the character a little bit," he says. "There's a scene in which she sucks out the contents of her partner's phone while he's out of the room. At that point, it is unprovoked. He hasn't done anything to make her suspicious, but I felt that it was something the character would do.
"It adds a layer of guilt," he continues. "And I think the reason Hitchcock movies are still watchable is not just because of his technique, but because, at their core, they are all about guilt. There is always somebody at the center of the movie that has something they don't want known. I wanted to have some of that so she wasn't just a 'goody-goody' the whole way through. As it turns out, that decision probably saved her life. But when she does it, you're wondering why."
Soderbergh found his muse for this film in an unexpected venue. He had seen mixed martial arts champion Gina Carano fight, and became intrigued by the idea of featuring her in a movie. A thrilling and demanding combination of fighting styles including Muay Thai, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, wrestling, boxing, Sambo, kickboxing and Kung Fu, mixed martial arts gave Carano the ability to perform the kind of deadly hand-to-hand combat the director envisioned for his film.
"I knew there had to be a woman other than Angelina Jolie who could run around with a gun," he says. "After I saw a couple of Gina's fights, I viewed some interviews with her that showed her as a really genuine, very grounded person. It occurred to me that I could combine my desire to make a realistic espionage film with her expertise. But first I had to meet with her and see whether or not it would appeal to her."
After an initial meeting, the filmmakers began to tailor the part of Mallory Kane for Carano. "We knew she'd be able do most of her own stunts," says Jacobs. "That was key, because Steven was adamant about not wanting to do a lot of wire work. He didn't want the audience to feel the action elements were so acrobatic or dangerous that a human couldn't possibly be doing them. The wonderful thing about filming with Gina was that there were no special effects in the fights. Everything was real."
That fact was critical to Soderbergh's vision of the film as a realistic adventure, which also meant he eschewed the kind of futuristic technology that is a staple of many films in the genre. "In many ways, we wanted to go against the grain of the way action is usually shot," he says. "I really wanted to take advantage of the fact that we had people who really could perform these actions and not be indulging in the kind of trickery that is sometimes necessary in a movie. I didn't want anybody doing anything that wasn't physically possible. And I didn't want to rely on technology that didn't exist."
"If two people are in a room fighting, it has to end at a certain point because you'll run out of things that are plausible," he says. "This was my take on that kind of movie. Haywire is more of a drama with action in it than it is a wall-to-wall action movie."

Mobile Hub stories at Techdirt.
stories filed under: "mobile hub"
If you've been in the mobile space for a long time, you may recall the buzz from nearly a decade ago about the concept of the "personal mobile hub." The idea was that computers don't need to be big (even laptop big) general machines, but rather you could break out the components and make for interesting combinations. That is, you could have a small core unit that was basically just a CPU with some wireless connectivity, and then add in additional components as necessary (or simply let other things connect to the hub). So, your mobile phone could connect to the hub to get better wireless capabilities. You could also have a separate storage module for extra storage. Then, perhaps you could have different screen technology depending on what you needed. Or different inputs. The whole idea was to make computing a lot more modular. Unfortunately, pretty much every attempt at doing so failed (often miserably). For years, the concept was championed by a company called IXI, who got a lot of hype but produced little in the way of a product for quite some time. In 2004, it finally came up with a product called the ogo, which was a messaging device sold by AT&T Wireless. However, the other components (the whole point of such a system) never appeared and the device mostly died off (though, it's been revived at times elsewhere).
There's some buzz going around about a new startup called Bug Labs that is in some ways bringing back this very concept with more of an open source/DIY/hacker ethos. Right now, exactly what Bug Labs is doing isn't entirely clear, but it sounds like they're producing something quite similar to the general idea of the personal mobile hub -- but making it very open and encouraging everyone else to develop apps and systems for it. In fact, it sounds like the company doesn't plan on being in the hardware business at all. This is definitely a step forward from the IXI way of doing things, but it still remains to be seen whether or not the market really buys into the idea of modular computing in this manner. The good news for Bug Labs, however, is that if such a concept is going to succeed, it's probably going to take an approach similar to what Bug is doing.


Pulling a vacuum in a series of nitrogen purge cycles removes oxygen, moisture and atmospheric contaminants. Running at 250 Torr (1/3 of atmosphere) gently draws out solvents in a gentle vertical laminar flow that removes particles. Processing at reduced pressure prevents a problematic heat reaction, in which a hard skin forms on the top of polyimide film before it is completely baked and traps solvents.
The vacuum is pulled from the bottom of the oven, and preheated nitrogen enters from above and goes through a restraining stainless steel flat plate filter. This induces vertical flow and the constant removal of particles from the substrate. Plus, as a bonus, a vacuum process significantly reduces the amount of nitrogen flow required compared to atmospheric ovens.
The constant vacuum and hot nitrogen mix pulls out the solvent with more efficiency. It also provides a gentle laminar flow to remove particles. (Older methods of heating polyimide relied on dwell steps to allow the substrate to heat up and boil out solvent).
Using a vacuum provides tighter control of your process. Processing conditions are very repeatable because of reduced pressure combined with temperature profile of ramp baked.
4. Temperature Uniformity. Using a vacuum allows an adjustable air-mixing ratio for chamber cooling to adapt the tool for best performance over a broad range of operating temperatures. (Vacuum + pre-heated nitrogen gives control of process atmosphere).
Using a vacuum achieves oxygen levels below 10ppm during processing. All of our polyimide bake ovens have double door seals, creating a nitrogen "buffer" between the outside atmosphere and the inside chamber.
Critical steps in any cure process include complete removal of residual solvents, uniform temperature distribution, pressure control, ability to maintain dry inert atmosphere, and control of heating and cooling rates. Our systems achieve this plus particle reduction in most applications.
Solvent vapor that evaporates from wafer films during the cure process condenses as soon as the process gas cools. If condensation is not controlled, condensable process effluents can plug vacuum lines, affect control valve operation and degrade the performance of vacuum pumps. YES-PB Series tools use a coalescing condensate trap assembly to control the accumulation and disposal of solvent condensates.
YES high temperature vacuum cure ovens offer vertical laminar airflow paired with a unique cooling package to cool the chamber. The vertical laminar flow carries particulates away so they won't deposit onto wafers. Directing the airflow so it streams from the top of the system and out the bottom ensures there's no air turbulence, allowing particle reduction in most applications.
The YES-450PB Series cooling package allows for faster chamber cooling times as well as temperature uniformity control throughout the process. Adjustable air mixing ratio for chamber cooling adapts the tool for best performance over a broad range of operating temperatures. The design allows the process engineer total control of ramp down rates within the tool's specifications. The cooling package only uses air, no water.
When creating a high-reliability MEMS package, it is imperative to have complete moisture removal and moisture prevention to extend the life of the MEMS device.
The YES-450PB-HV (High Vac) provides a critical component which allows a degas and moisture abatement process for devices, getters/lids in a single tool. The tool uses high temperature and high vacuum to achieve complete moisture removal.
The device life is protected (extended) in an extremely small, hermetically-sealed package. Maintaining a completely dry environment depends on being able to absorb the gas from the package perimeter that would otherwise destroy the desired atmosphere.
Our YES-450PB-HV Series is designed to ensure complete and permanent moisture and hydrogen removal using high vacuum (10-6) and high temperature (up to 450�C). Our patented nitrogen purge precedes process preparation and creates a successful procedure for improved MEMS lifetime and performance.
The YES-VertaCure automated, high temperature cure series of ovens is designed for today�s most advanced MEMS and semiconductor process applications. Whether it�s for proper curing of polyimide in Wafer-level Packaging (WLP)/ Redistribution Layers (RDL) applications or annealing copper in an advanced semiconductor device, the YES-VertaCure helps achieve total environmental control to increase yields and extend device performance.
The process begins with vacuum cycle purges to remove oxygen and water vapor followed by a continuous horizontal laminar flow of up to four process gases. The laminar flow of gas can be maintained during a recipe-driven temperature profile. Operating temperatures are 150�C to 450�C; pressure range is 50-500 Torr.

The laminar flow of gas can be maintained during a recipe-driven temperature profile. Operating temperatures are 150�C to 450�C; laminar flow pressure range is 0.50-500 Torr. The tool is also capable of evacuation down to 5E-5 Torr using a vacuum turbo pump.
The Silane vapor deposition is a process that assists in the de position of a thin film of various chemistries in order to achieve precise surface modification. Vapor deposition is the preferred method for coating surfaces with silanes.
