An Essay by Former Princeton University President Harold T. Shapiro
The tradition of publishing in Princeton began in 1786 when the first printing press was established in town by the Scotsman James Tod with the encouragement of President Witherspoon. The Princeton University Press, however, had its origins at the turn of the twentieth century when a group of alumni first took over the printing of the alumni magazine, then acquired two private printing establishments, and soon recognized the opportunity to enter into scholarly publishing.
Whitney Darrow '03 was the enterprising young graduate who approached Charles Scribner, Class of 1875, about this plan—only to learn that Scribner (of the publishing firm Charles Scribner's Sons) had been contemplating for several years the desirability of a Princeton-affiliated press that could publish scholarly books not feasible for commercial firms. Scribner not only contributed substantially to the original capital for the venture; he also purchased and donated both the land and the stately collegiate Gothic building which the Press still occupies today.
Unlike many other university presses, Princeton University Press has always been separately incorporated; yet from its inception it has maintained a close relationship with the University, and its purpose has been "the promotion of education and scholarship … in the interests of Princeton University." Currently, the Press publishes approximately 200 new books each year in more than 40 disciplines. It is considered one of the top half dozen or so university presses in the country, with particular strengths in scientific publishing (in biology, physics, and mathematics), political sciences, and the social sciences generally.
For most of its history, the Press was both a publishing and a printing enterprise continuing until recently, for example, to print the PAW, as well as most of its own books and even a good deal of "outside" work unrelated to the University. Within the past year, however, a decision was made to sell the Press's printing operation in order to concentrate efforts fully on publishing per se—that is, the acquisition, editing, and marketing of scholarly works—rather than on printing them.
While the dissemination of scholarly knowledge, to which the Press is dedicated, takes place largely within the scholarly community itself, some books of course also attract the interest of a larger reading public. The reception accorded the publication last winter of Robert Putnam's Making Democracy Work: Civic Traditions in Modern Italy provides an example. Although the book's subject would seem quite specialized, one reviewer wrote: "Here is a book that masquerades as a routine study of Italian regional government but is actually a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto, and Weber… . The implications of this book are enormous." To date the World Bank, and the Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller Foundations have explicitly used the findings of Putnam's study in their programs. Walter Lippincott '60, current director of the Press, is particularly pleased by this phenomenon of "a work of first-rate scholarship making a major impact on the world outside of the University."
In a number of ways the Press does reach out beyond the University in its publishing program. Two new series provide noteworthy examples: the "Princeton Science Library" and "Mythos." The Princeton Science Library makes the work of outstanding scientists available in inexpensive paperback editions for the nonspecialist public—as the editors quip, "real science by real scientists for real people." The series was initiated with a reprint of Einstein's public lectures on "The Meaning of Relativity," delivered at Princeton in 1922, and includes as well titles by Feynman, Heisenberg, and Oppenheimer, among others.
Another recent venture is the Mythos paperback series, which aims to make available "the best works on world mythology published in this century." The Press's prominence in this area is bound up with the Bollingen Series, a publishing enterprise begun by Paul and Mary Mellon in 1943, which came to the Press in 1969 as a result of the efforts of Herbert S. Bailey, Jr. '42, director of the Press from 1954 to 1986. The central core establishing "the intellectual temper" of the Bollingen Series is the work of psychoanalyst C. G. Jung, which the Mellons wished to make more widely available in the English-speaking world. The series includes the I Ching (or Book of Changes), long the Press's best selling title. In 1989 another Bollingen book, Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces, suddenly became a best-seller for the second time (the first was in 1949) when interest in this scholar of myth peaked after his televised series of interviews with Bill Moyers. The Mythos series began shortly thereafter to make available the classic works in the field of mythology to an avid and growing general readership.
The development of paperback series intended for the nonspecialist reader marks a new outreach and also reflects to some extent a shift in the audience for all university press books. Throughout the 1970s the major buyers for such publications were not individual readers but libraries. Over the last decade, however, the budgets of scholarly libraries have come under intense pressure—caused in part by inflation, in part by "the explosion of information," and perhaps most dramatically by the sky-rocketing costs of periodicals in the sciences. Consequently, libraries' acquisitions of monographs in the humanities (the heart of university publishing) have declined to the point where they are no longer the major market for university press publications.
What the future will bring—for university presses and for the dissemination of scholarly works—is very difficult to foresee. There are certain to be exciting changes. Clearly electronic communication will play a large role in scholarly exchange, but no one knows as yet precisely what this will mean, although both the University and the Press are actively engaged in studying the issue. One new initiative at the Press, for example, is an electronic enhancement of the traditional catalog or flyer. Rather than merely reading a description of a new book, very shortly professors will be able to preview portions of the book on line, before deciding whether to order it for their classes.
This is just one example of how the dissemination of information will undoubtedly change. Press Director Lippincott believes that the outline of publishing's future in the electronic age will not be discernible for several years. The fundamental mission, however—which is to identify and disseminate works of great scholarship—will remain unchanged, even if the media for that dissemination changes as the Press enters its second century.

Dobyns-Bennett Students Get Hooked on Fly Fishing King Style
King Fly Fishing 101 Don Michael Hudson
KINGSPORT, Tenn., June 16, 2015 – Many people are hooked on fly fishing. Now, students at Dobyns-Bennett High School (D-B) in Kingsport, Tenn., are among those intrigued with the popular sport.
During the spring 2015 semester, King professors Don Michael Hudson, Dan Kreiss, and Wendy Traynor and her husband, Brian, along with six King students travelled to Dobyns-Bennett to teach fly fishing to the high school's sophomore class.
Hudson, who has been fly fishing for 25 years, and Kreiss, who has been fly fishing for 20 years, had the great idea last spring to create King's first fly fishing class. They had minimal expectations when creating the class, but it filled up immediately and has been a major success since day one.
In October, 2014, King University senior and communications intern Cortnee Young penned an article about the new class. The story was picked up across the country, and Hudson began receiving calls about the program from as far away as Grand Junction, Colo. He also received calls from Wounded Warriors out of Nashville, Tenn., expressing interest in collaboration.
Also interested in collaboration with King's fly fishing program is Project Health Waters, an organization that teaches fly fishing to veterans. As a volunteer with the program, Brian Traynor meets weekly with veterans at the VA Hospital located in Mountain Home, Tenn. He coordinates fly fishing retreats for the veterans, and teaches them fly-tying techniques.
Dobyns-Bennett's Chair of the Health and Wellness Department and Assistant Coach for the boys basketball program Matt Baker contacted King upon reading a Twitter post about the program. "I immediately went to King's website and looked up contact information for Don Hudson and sent him an email to start the conversation. I asked if he would be interested in coming out to work with our sophomore class during out outdoor education week."
Hudson commented, "Matt asked if we would be interested in teaching fly fishing to 250 sophomores. I told him yes. We would make it happen."
"I knew it was going to be good when Don came out to [D-B] to check out the facilities, take pictures, and plan," Baker added.
Together, Hudson, Kreiss, the Traynors, and several members of King's Fly Fishing Club hosted the fly fishing class at D-B. Over the course of four periods in two days the team mentored the sophomores through three workstations consisting of an introduction to fly fishing, tying flies, and casting techniques. In the end, a contest was held to see who could cast the best with the winners receiving King merchandise.
"The group came out and did a top-notch job. Our department was very pleased with the effort, and the attention to detail and the way [the group] worked with our kids. We were extremely impressed."
The experience went so well Dobyns-Bennet invited King to return every semester to share fly fishing with D-B's students. "Each semester we have a different group of kids," said Baker. "God willing, we will have [King] back every semester to work with our kids and continue the program."
Though people who fly fish are aware of the world-class fly fishing in the Tri-Cities region, many who live here, especially the younger generation, are not aware.
"The thing we enjoyed the most out of the experience was not only how they worked with our kids but also exposing them to something new, something most of them had never done before," said Baker. "We had kids with different learning abilities, and some who are not athletically inclined. With fly fishing, they could compete with anyone. [All students] were all on an even level. To see the progression and the interest was a very rewarding experience for our department."
Wendy Traynor added, "We are hoping to take this program into all of our area high schools. One thing I love about sharing this program is fly fishing is the type of outdoor sport that anyone can do, whether you are an athlete or are not athletically inclined. It is something anyone can do, and King has it."
"We were [at D-B] doing what King does best – we educate," commented Hudson. We were educating high school students. We were educating coaches. We had our students [from King] out there, and they were educating students. We were all there serving our local community. It was a tremendous experience for all."
In addition to King's fly fishing class, a Fly Fishing Club was established during the spring 2015 semester. The club is sponsored by the Cherokee Chapter of Trout Unlimited as part of their Five Rivers Program

Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Volume 45
publication of the Vestiges, a shrewd and sarcastic countryman of the author defined it as cauld kail made het again." A cynic might find amusement in the reflection that, at the present time, the principles and the methods of the much-vilified Vestigiarian are being made het again ;" and are not only "echoed by the dome of St. Paul's, but thundered from the castle of Inverary. But my turn of mind is not cynical, and I can but regret the waste of time and energy bestowed on the endeavor to deal with the most difficult problems of science, by those who have neither undergone the discipline, nor possess the information, which are indispensable to the successful issue of such an enterprise.
I have already had occasion to remark that the Duke of Argyll's views of the conduct of controversy are different from mine; and this much-to-belamented discrepancy becomes yet more accentuated when the Duke reaches biological topics. Anything that was good enough for Sir Charles Lyell, in his department of study, is certainly good enough for me in mine; and I by no means demur to being pedagogically instructed about a variety of matters with which it has been the business of my life to try to acquaint myself. But the Duke of Argyll is not content with favoring me with his opinions about my own business; he also answers for mine; and, at that point, really the worm must turn. I am told that
one knows better than Professor Huxley" a variety of things which I really do not know; and I am said to be a disciple of that "Positive Philosophy" which I have, over and over again, publicly repudiated in language which is certainly not lacking in intelligibility, whatever may be its other defects.
I am told that I have been amusing myself with a "metaphysical exercitation or logomachy" (may I remark incidentally that these are not quite convertible terms?), when, to the best of my belief, I have been trying to expose a process of mystification, based upon the use of scientific language by writers who exhibit no sign of scientific training, of accurate scientific knowledge, or of clear ideas respecting the philosophy of science, which is doing very serious
harm to the public. Naturally enough, they take the lion's skin of scientific phraseology for evidence that the voice which issues from beneath it is the voice of science, and I desire to relieve them from the consequences of their error.
The Duke of Argyll asks, apparently with sorrow that it should be his duty to subject me to reproof :
What shall we say of a philosophy which confounds the organic with the inorganic, and, refusing to take note of a difference so profound, assumes to explain under one common abstraction the movements due to gravitation and the movements due to the mind of man?
To which I may fitly reply by another question: What shall we say to a controversialist who attributes to the subject of his attack opinions which are notoriously not his; and expresses himself in such a manner that it is obvious he is unacquainted with even the rudiments of that knowledge which is necessary to the discussion into which he has rushed?
What line of my writing can the Duke of Argyll produce which confounds the organic with the inorganic ?
As to the latter half of the paragraph, I have to confess a doubt whether it has any definite meaning. But I imagine that the Duke is alluding to my assertion that the law of gravitation is nowise "suspended" or defied" when a man lifts his arm; but that, under such circumstances, part of the store of energy in the universe operates on the arm at a mechanical advantage as against the operation of another part. I was simple enough to think that no one who had as much knowledge of physiology as is to be found in an elementary primer, or who had ever heard of the greatest physical generalization of modern times-the doctrine of the conservation of energy-would dream of doubting my statement; and I was further simple enough to think that no one who lacked these qualifications would feel tempted to charge ine with error. It appears that my simplicity is greater than my powers of imagination.
The Duke of Argyll may not be aware of the fact, but it is nevertheless true, that when a man's arm is raised, in sequence to that state of consciousness we call a volition, the volition is not the immediate cause of the elevation of the
arm.
On the contrary, that operation is effected by a certain change of form, technically known as contraction' in sundry masses of flesh, technically known as muscles, which are fixed to the bones of the shoulder in such a manner that, if these muscles contract, they must raise the arm. Now each of these muscles is a machine, in a certain sense, comparable to one of the donkeyengines of a steamship, but more complete, inasmuch as the source of its ability to change its form, or contract, lies within itself. Every time that, by contracting, the muscle does work, such as that involved in raising the arm, more or less of the material which it contains is used up, just as more or less of the fuel of a steam-engine is used up, when it does work. And I do not think there is a doubt in the mind of any com. petent physicist or physiologist, that the work done in lifting the weight of the arm is the mechanical equivalent of a certain proportion of the energy set free by the molecular changes which take place in the muscle. It is further a tolerably well-based belief that this, and all other forms of energy, are mutually convertible, and therefore that they all come under that general law or statement of the order of facts, called the conservation of energy. And, as that certainly is an abstraction, so the view which the Duke of Argyll thinks so extremely absurd is really one of the commonplaces of physiology. But this Review is hardly an appropriate place for giving instruction in the elements of that science, and I content myself with recommending the Duke of Argyll to devote some study to Book II. chap. v. section 4 of my friend Dr. Foster's excellent text-book of Physiology (1st edition, 1877, p. 321), which begins thus:
Broadly speaking, the animal body is a machine for converting potential into actual energy. The potential energy is supplied by the food; this the metabolism of the body converts into the actual energy of heat and mechanical labor.
There is no more difficult problem in the world than that of the relation of the state of consciousness, termed volition, to the mechanical work which frequently follows upon it. But no one can even comprehend the nature of the
problem who has not carefully studied the long series of modes of motion which, without a break, connect the energy which does that work with the general store of energy. The ultimate form of the problem is this: Have we any reason to believe that a feeling, or state of consciousness, is capable of directly affecting the motion of even the smallest conceivable molecule of matter? Is such a thing even conceivable ? If we answer these questions in the negative, it follows that volition may be a sign, but cannot be a cause, of bodily motion. If we answer them in the affirmative, then states of consciousness become undistinguishable from material things; for it is the essential nature of matter to be the vehicle or substratum of mechanical energy.
There is nothing new in all this. I have merely put into modern language the issue raised by Descartes more than two centuries ago. The philosophies of the Occasionalists, of Spinoza, of Malebranche, of modern idealism and modern materialism, have all grown out of the controversies which Cartesianism evoked. Of all this the pseudo-science of the present time appears to be unconscious; otherwise it would hardly content itself with making het again" the pseudo-science of the past.
In the course of these observations I have already had occasion to express my appreciation of the copious and perfervid eloquence which enriches the Duke of Argyll's pages. I am almost ashamed that a constitutional insensibility to the Sirenian charms of rhetoric has permitted me, in wandering through these flowery meads, to be attracted almost exclusively to the bare places of fallacy and the stony grounds of deficient information which are disguised, though not concealed, by these floral decorations. But, in his concluding sentences, the Duke soars into a Tyrtæan strain which roused even my dull soul.
It was high time, indeed, that some revolt should be raised against that Reign of Terror which had come to be established in the scientific world under the abuse of a great name. Professor Huxley has not joined this revolt openly, for as yet, indeed, it is only beginning to raise its head. But more than once-and very lately-he has uttered a warning voice against the shallow dogmatism that has pro
tations will be established.
Unless I am much
voked it. The time is coming when that revolt will be carried further. Higher interpremistaken, they are already coming in sight (p. 339).
I have been living very much out of the world for the last two or three years, and when I read this denunciatory outburst, as of one filled with the spirit of prophecy, I said to myself, Mercy upon us, what has happened? Can it be that X. and Y. (it would be wrong to mention the names of the vigorous young friends which occurred to me) are playing Danton and Robespierre; and that a guillotine is erected in the courtyard of Burlington House for the benefit of all anti-Darwinian Fellows of the Royal Society? Where are the secret conspirators against this tyranny, whom I am supposed to favor, and yet not have the courage to join openly? And to think of my poor oppressed friend, Mr. Herbert Spencer, compelled to speak with bated breath (p. 338) certainly for the first time in my thirty-odd years' acquaintance with him!" My alarm and horror at the supposition that, while I had been fiddling (or at any rate physicking), my beloved Rome had been burning, in this fashion, may be imagined.
I am sure the Duke of Argyll will be glad to hear that the anxiety he created was of extremely short duration. It is my privilege to have access to the best sources of information, and nobody in the scientific world can tell me anything about either the Reign of Terror or the Revolt. In fact, the scientific world laughs most indecorously at the notion of the existence of either; and some are so lost to the sense of the scientific dignity, that they descend to the use of transatlantic slang, and call it a "bogus scare.' As to my friend Mr. Herbert Spencer, I have every reason to know that, in the Factors of Organic Evolution, he has said exactly what was in his mind, without any particular deference to the opinions of the person whom he is pleased to regard as his most dangerous critic and Devil's Advocate-General, and still less of any one else.
I do not know whether the Duke of Argyll pictures himself as the Tallien of this imaginary revolt against a no less imaginary Reign of Terror. But if so, But if so,
I most respectfully but firmly decline to join his forces. It is only a few weeks since I happened to read over again the first article which I ever wrote (now twenty-seven years ago) on the Origin of Species, and I found nothing that I wished to modify in the opinions that are there expressed, though the subsequent vast accumulation of evidence in favor of Mr. Darwin's views would give me much to add. As is the case with all new doctrines, so with that of Evolution, the enthusiasm of advocates has sometimes tended to degenerate into fanaticism, and mere speculation has, at times, threatened to shoot beyond its legitimate bounds. I have occasionally thought it wise to warn the more adventurous spirits among us against these dangers, in sufficiently plain language; and I have sometimes jestingly said that I expected, if I lived long enough, to be looked on as a reactionary by some of my more ardent friends. But nothing short of midsummer madness can account for the fiction that I am waiting till it is safe to join openly a revolt, hatched by some person or persons unknown, against an intellectual movement with which I am in the most entire and hearty sympathy. It is a great many years since, at the outset of my career, I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good, for me, was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction and have availed myself of the "rara temporum felicitas ubi sentire quæ velis, et quæ sentias dicere licet," which is now enjoyable, to the best of my ability; and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
My career is at an end
I have warmed both hands at the fire of life; and nothing is left me, before I depart, but to help, or at any rate to abstain from hindering, the younger generation of men of science in doing better service to the cause we have at heart, than I have been able to render.
And yet, forsooth, I am supposed to be waiting for the signal of "revolt,'
which some fiery spirits among these young men are to raise before I dare express my real opinions concerning questions about which we older men had to fight, in the teeth of fierce public opposition and obloquy-of something which might almost justify even the grandiloquent epithet of a Reign of
Terror-before our excellent successors had left school.
It would appear that the spirit of pseudo-science has impregnated even the imagination of the Duke of Argyll. The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.-Nineteenth Century.
THE ROMANCE OF A FRENCH PARSONAGE.
BY M. B. E.
No sleepier little town than St. Anatole lies nestled amid the vine-clad hills of eastern France, none of more smiling, gracious aspect. There is picturesqueness too about its quiet streets, the low arcades with round arches recalling the Spanish occupation of Franche Comté, part of the rich dower of Mary of Burgundy, and bits of Spanish domestic architecture remain here and there. Round about rise the pleasant hills, mere gentle declivities, although designated by the name of mountains in these parts; a little river runs by the town, hiding itself in a green valley; beyond, tower the dark pine-forests of the Jura; while far away stretches the Alpine fairyland, Mont Blanc and its sister peaks, flakes of violet and amber in the far distance. So dead-alive this townling of two or three thousand souls, so unfrequented by tourists, and remote from the highways of the world, that not a carriage awaits the chance traveller who makes a halt here. Only a tumble-down omnibus, for the convenience of business men, plies between the railway station and the one inn of the place. Into this cumbersome vehicle, on a bright September day, stepped a lady whose appearance was little in keeping with such shabby surroundings. Her dress was simple enough certainly, a nun's were hardly plainer, yet the black gown of light gauze, the long veil that seemed a part of it, and the small bonnet, a mere coronet of jet on the golden hair, but served to heighten the wearer's beauty. Hers was loveliness of the most dignified kind, features, figure, carriage, indicated the nobility
imparted by high rank and elegant bringing-up, as well as a certain state natural to some women; and, in spite of the studied sobriety of dress, evidences were there of ancestral wealth and splendor. From her small ears hung rare enamels in the quaint setting of the Renaissance. The brooch that fastened her dress was a fleur-de-lis fashioned of pearls, evidently an heirloom; and as she gathered up her skirts to step into the omnibus, a flounce of rich lace fell over the slender foot. There were no other passengers, and the blue-bloused conductor, hat in hand, stood by the door awaiting instructions. structions. So self-absorbed, however, was the lady, that she did not notice his presence, and he was obliged at last to ask her destination.
Slightly coloring, and with the air of one aroused from deep reverie, she made reply:
Drive me, if you please, to the Protestant parsonage.
Then the door was slammed to, and the noisy, stuffy old vehicle, with its dainty fare, rattled off in the direction of the town.
A bridge was first crossed, then followed a bit of brand-new boulevard, finally the one long street with its Spanish arcades traversed from end to end. All this while for the drive occupied at least ten minutes-the lady sat motionless as a statue, lost in thought. Once or twice, when the horses slackened speed, and she thought it was time to alight, her color went and came, she trembled violently and drew a deep breath; but when indeed the wheels stood still, by a tremendous effort she recovered self-possession. Erect and
proud, not without a certain natural hauteur, she now scanned the parsonage before ringing the bell.
The humble aspect of the place showed that the reformed faith was not in the ascendant hereabouts. The pastor's house was a neat, whitewashed, twostoried structure, standing sideways by the road; abutting on it was a small building of almost similar pattern, which did duty as church and school in one; shut off from the street by a high iron railing and gate was a long, narrow strip of flower, fruit and vegetable garden. Nothing could be plainer, homelier, more primitive, yet no signs of abject poverty met the eye.
The garden was in good order. The bricked court in front of the church was cleanly swept; the house from top to bottom had a cared-for look. It was evident that the occupant had been accustomed to rigid economy, at the same time to decency and order.
The latch of the garden gate yielded to her hand, and the intruder now found herself at the house door, opened-as is the fashion in these parts-from above. No sooner, therefore, had she touched the bell than the door flew back, and she saw that she was expected to ascend the staircase. On the groundfloor were only store-rooms and washhouses; kitchen, parlor and bed-chambers evidently occupied the second story. And having mounted, hearing, seeing no one, a second time she was compelled to announce her coming. The landing-place was dark; she tapped gently at the nearest door.
Is the pastor Anville within?'' she asked-without looking up. Her voice did not tremble, but it was in a strained key. She had turned very pale, and was evidently asking herself whether indeed she had courage to fulfil her errand. "The pastor Anville?-I am he,' was the reply, spoken briefly and absently.
The minister had evidently been disturbed in the midst of serious occupation, and had not so much as given himself time to identify his intruder. Thus much was clear, a lady waited on his threshold, he felt bound to invite her within.
He was a striking-looking man, in middle life, that is to say, in his prime.
But for the habiliments of a Protestant pastor, he must have been at once taken for a Catholic priest. The priestly stamp was undoubtedly there-the fine features closely shaven, the penetrating look, the general aspect, recalled rather the disciple of Loyola than of Calvin ; and, could it be? the crown of the head showed unmistakable signs of the tonsure!
He was no meanly-endowed son of Adam, quite the reverse; but for all that, an observer would single him out of a crowd by reason of intellectual rather than physical superiority. The noble brow, the commanding look marked him from others. He ought to have occupied one of the metropolitan pulpits of the world. Such a man could but be a force, moral as well as spiritual, a mighty lever of human wills and passions, a powerful agent in the strife of good with evil.
Bright sunshine filled the little study in which the pair now stood face to face. The lady had raised her veil, her fair, gold-brown hair caught the sunlight. The place seemed irradiated by her pensive yet sunny beauty.
For a brief moment he had seemed to stagger, shrinking from that exquisite presence; but, just as she had done a moment before, by a violent effort he now regained his self-composure. Offering her a seat, the pastor placed a chair for himself opposite her own, then closed the door, evidently prepared for a confidence.
'You have come to me in some trouble or perplexity-that I see," he began, smiling faintly. "And you are aware of my altered circumstances. As a friend, as a minister of the Gospel, I am ready to advise, perhaps able to comfort; the priest, the confessor, the absolver, you know well, have ceased to exist.'
"I know it," was the timid, girlishly hesitating reply.

Fort D.A. Russell (Wyoming)
For the former military base in Marfa, Texas, see Fort D. A. Russell (Texas).
Fort D. A. Russell, also known as Fort Francis E. Warren, Francis E. Warren Air Force Base and Fort David A. Russell, was a post and base of operations for the United States Army, and later the Air Force, located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The fort had been established in 1867 to protect workers for the Union Pacific Railroad.[1] It was named in honor of David Allen Russell, a Civil War general killed at the Battle of Opequon. In 1930, the fort's name was changed to Fort Francis E. Warren. In 1949, it became Francis E. Warren Air Force Base.
Over the years, the base served as home for numerous influential American military leaders such as Carl Spaatz, Black Jack Pershing, Billy Mitchell, Walter Reed, and Mark Clark.

Information[]
Units of the 30th Infantry under Colonel John D. Stevenson began building the fort and nearby quartermaster depot (Cheyenne Depot) in August 1867. In September the first cavalry arrived, Company H of 2nd Cavalry[2] In 1884, it became a permanent base. It was the home to three Black regiments: the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th Infantry (the famous Buffalo Soldiers) for much of the late 19th century.
By the turn of the 20th century, Fort D. A. Russell was one of the largest cavalry bases in the United States and several more expansions in the early 20th century further increased its size.
In 1919, the airfield became active and soon served as the home field for over 100 military aircraft. The last cavalry units on the post were deactivated in 1927. In 1930, the base was renamed Fort Francis E. Warren. Warren was a Medal of Honor recipient who served as Governor of Wyoming.
During World War II, Fort Francis E. Warren served as a training facility for the US Army Quartermaster Corps. A prisoner of war camp was also constructed on the site.
In 1949, the base was redesignated the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base and became part of the Strategic Air Command in 1958. The base became the headquarters for the 90th Strategic Missile Wing in 1963. The wing controlled over 200 ICBMs during the Cold War. The base was the only missile wing to have Peacekeeper missiles which were deactivated in October 2005.
On October 1, 1993, the Twentieth Air Force, which controls all of America's ICBM wings, relocated its headquarters to Warren.
The fort was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 15, 1975, while still Francis E. Warren Air Force Base.[1][3]
Renovations[]
The majority of the structures in the historic district have been maintained.[1] At least 88 housing units have been abated for lead and asbestos materials. Three buildings were renovated in accordance with standards of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. The Air Force was tasked to restore the two deck porches on many buildings in the district.[1]

Alamo Plaza: Design and Program
April 16, 2017 Interpretation, Texas, Vision and Style Comments (0) 1688
The Alamo Plaza Reimagined team released a video with images of the proposed redesign of Alamo Plaza this week. The reaction has been a mix of concerns, but most seem focused on the large, vacant plaza surrounded by glass walls.
The first public hearing was a surprisingly calm affair. Some objected to the removal of the 1940 Pompeo Coppini centotaph, a few supported it. Many were concerned about the removal of trees in the plaza. A few objected to the closure of Alamo Street, and many to the fact that the plaza will not be accessible from Houston Street. The major objection to the design was the fact that access to the plaza will be controlled by the new wall, for example in the Rivard Report's opinion piece today.
What unites these concerns? They are all concerns about the architectural PROGRAM, not the architectural DESIGN. Which is to say, they can be traced back not to the design team led by George Skarmeas, but the CLIENT, the Texas General Land Office, City of San Antonio, and the Alamo Endowment.
The principal DESIGN feature that has garnered criticism is the glass wall enclosing the plaza, following the line of the historic wall to the south, and Houston Street to the north. In fact, the use of structural glass is arguably a designer's response to the programmatic criticism that the Alamo chapel would not be as accessible as it is today – at least it would be visible. Glass could not be mistaken for a historic material like wood, iron, or stone, leading to a false sense of history. (Yes, I suppose some will think it original, but you need to design for the bulk of the bell curve, not the outliers.)
The cenotaph, to be moved to a site of the funeral pyre two blocks south.
The plan includes a new museum in the Crockett, Palace and Woolworth Buildings facing the chapel, a position the San Antonio Conservation Society has advocated for more than a year and a half. Archaeological remains of the South Gate – the once and future entrance to the Alamo – will be visible under structural glass, and the entire plaza will be about a foot and a half lower than it is today – closer to the level it was before a city grew up around it.
Crockett, Palace and Woolworth Buildings.
Shade. A word about shade. It is REALLY IMPORTANT in South Texas for most of the year. When seeing the glass walls and big empty plaza, some critics wondered if we were planning to cook the tourists. To address this, the plan also proposes planting 100 trees along a recreated acequia parallel to the Crockett, Palace and Woolworth buildings, creating shade and respite along the western edge of the plaza.
Probably the most vulnerable part of the plan is the glass wall along Houston Street. It does not correspond to the north wall (under a couple more buildings on the north side of Houston Street) but simply controls access to the plaza. It is here where the urbanists get upset, noting that you can sit in cafes across from the Florence Cathedral or the Pantheon or a host of other World Heritage sites without passing through a gate. Yes, there will be cafes on top of and next to the museum, but behind a gate.
The biggest issue is this – you will no longer be able to take your friends up to the Alamo chapel for a midnight selfie after an evening on the Riverwalk. That, to Texans, is an inalienable right. It is also a programmatic issue, not a design issue.

This post is more a note to myself than a public statement but I'm prepared to discuss any of the points below if someone disagrees with them. I'm not laying down dogma, I'm trying to organise my thoughts. It's a summary of my current ideas about roleplaying game theory.
It is a form of play whose primary medium is a shared fiction.
By play I mean a non-serious, energy-dissipating activity that takes place in a metaphorical magic circle which suspends the rules of the real world. See Caillois etc.
By medium I mean both the means and the substance of play.
By fiction I simply mean any kind of imagined goings-on. This fiction must be shared, that is, I cannot be the sole owner of it. Even if I'm just sharing its ownership with some kind of oracular device or GM-emulator, there must be an element of it over which I have no control. Otherwise I'm simply engaging in daydreaming or phantasy (perhaps in service of world creation, novel writing etc.).
To role-play, means to act as if the fictional content has a realness to it, to pretend the fictional elements and outcomes matter, have weight, to care about stuff you wouldn't care about in the real world. This is done primarily by assuming or advocating the role of a character within this fiction.
2. What is a game?
A game is a (structured) activity where participants have goals (or objects, or aims, or agendas), either set by the game itself or invented by themselves and a set of rules within the constraints of which they try to achieve these goals.
Goals can be explicit or implicit, there can be one dominant goal or a plethora of smaller ones or layers of both.
Rules tend to be explicit, but participants often have their own unspoken or unexamined rules that they follow.
Assuming that the medium of roleplaying games is the fiction, the state of this fiction needs to be constantly communicated and negotiated by the participants (much like pieces on a chessboard must be moved and their state adjusted for the game to proceed). This is done by participants engaging in a conversation (or exchange of information) with one another. The fiction of the game (the medium within which its action occurs) truly exists only within this exchange of information, so the two might possibly be used interchangeably.
While most other games have a pretty straightforward and explicit goal (score more points than the enemy team, etc.) many roleplaying games have traditionally been more obtuse in this context. In addition to any goals set by the game itself (for example "gain treasure to raise yourself to the rank of lord and gain your own castle"), the fictional, character-based nature of roleplaying games allows for all kinds of personal goals for both the character and the player. Temporary goals can arise, be resolved or fall by the wayside during play itself ("we need to gain the lady of the manor's trust", "I have to sneak out before he notices me", "we must survive this combat" etc.). A game will flounder when such long- and short-term goals will not be apparent or emerge naturally from the setup, character creation, setting, etc. A game need not be absolutely explicit about setting its goals as long as the players easily discover satisfying things to do or find themselves in fruitful situations with interesting consequences.
There are also other types of goals, some of them outside the game but they're either not intrinsic or unique to roleplaying or are so diverse and particular to individual games and players it would be a cyclopean task to compile a comprehensive categorisation. There have been attempts at this in the past but I haven't found any of them particularly convincing.
One of the possible approaches to categorising player goals (although this is a contentious term in this context) is presented by Ron Edwards' Big model and its Creative Agendas. It posits three orientations within moments of play: gamism, narrativism and simulationism. I have made many attempts at a more colloquial definition of the three, the most recent of which would be challenge-oriented play, theme-producing play, and fiction-affirming play. A big confusion regarding this model arises from third-hand accounts and colloquial usage applying it to both individual players and games, while the model originally describes slices of actual play. A serious disagreement exists whether these agendas necessarily exclude each other (as Edwards claims) or if they can coexist or effectively switch back and forth. Furthermore, the model itself has historically struggled to define or qualify simulationism whereas it produced positive and detailed readings of both gamism and narrativism. I've often drawn on the big model in the past but it's not without its limits or problems.
A thing I've noted in the past but never wrote about in this context are Caillois' categories of play: Agon (competition), Alea (luck), Mimicry (suspension of disbelief, pretend), Ilinx (altered perception, vertigo, adrenaline, etc.). Agon maps directly to challenge-oriented play. Alea exists in roleplaying games in the form of dice, although some eschew it for diceless, fiat- or fate-based resolution. It's up to debate if GM fiat counts as Alea in some cases (feeding input into a black box and hoping for a good result to come out) or its opposite in other (everything is deliberate and decided, there is no random chance). Mimicry is the act of roleplaying itself, although traditionally it had not been paired with Alea and Agon before D&D came about. Finally I see a kinship between Ilinx and the various concepts from larp theory (flow, bleed, etc.), the elusive concept of "immersion" and even the simple exhilaration of winning a tough fight in a challenge-oriented game. Unlike the Big model's creative agendas, these categories can be evidently present in various degrees. One thing that Caillois' categories don't cover, but is integral to roleplaying is the production of narratives (whether these are premeditated, intentionally pursued in play or post factum "war stories" told about the game). The premeditated story is not at all unique to roleplaying and can be said to fall under Ilinx (compare to a rush of adrenaline while watching a horror or action movie, ie. getting lost in the fiction) or Mimicry, if one is an actor in such a story (or perhaps a mix of both if you go full method acting). The post factum story is not unique to roleplaying either (you can tell stories about exciting football matches or camping trips or poker games) although there is something to be said for the sheer variance and wonder of stories that can be told about roleplaying sessions as opposed to most other games or activities. This is something that many boardgames have been experimenting with recently, like the Legacy family of games, Cole Wehrle's "experience" boardgames or the modern COIN wargames which all provide interesting and enduring sequences of events and outcomes, ripe for talking about later. The in-play formulation of narrative is considerably more unique here, although it, too, shares functions with other mediums like improv theatre, certain forms of creative writing, collaborative storytelling and so on. Ultimately, I think I'd add a two additional categories here and tentatively call them Poiesis and Catharsis. These are both art and literary terms, which is not surprising since roleplaying games are the conjunction of games and fiction (of which literature is the oldest structured expression, not counting oral folk traditions). Poiesis is the thrill of creation, children drawing is definitely a form of play, that I don't think the other categories properly capture. Ultimately, catharsis is about seeing the outcomes of choices play out, particularly if they are ethically charged choices. In literature seeing the protagonist fall or triumph, seeing the knave succeed or be punished are functions of comedy and tragedy, epos and drama, while in a rpg they are often a function of dice and system, which might put them on the spectrum of Alea, but that would ignore a whole emotional dimension of the affair.
Roleplaying games are structured activities where participants try to achieve their goals through the medium of a shared fiction and within the constraints of the rules.
To be functional, a game must at minimum enable (and - depending on the game - reinforce) the players to recognise, formulate and pursue both long and short term goals within its medium.
These goals can be wide and varied, from experiencing Ilinx to engaging in Agon, submitting to Alea or indulging in Mimicry, seeking Catharsis or practising Poiesis.
Roleplaying games as conversations is, as far as I'm aware, a thing Vincent Baker nailed down. Short and long term goals as a thing game design must care about is also his.
Big model and Creative agendas is Ron Edwards stuff, Objects is Vincent Baker again, the reduction of both down to dumb "goals" or "aims" is mine. I'm still waffling on the exact term I want to use.
The designer/game as a participant is from various sources but I think Zak was the first to formulate it as "the game (text) is a player" in a way that was useful and productive.
The stuff I got from Caillois I noted in the text.
Parts of this are also cribbed from the Care-Boss principle "system is the means by which participants agree to what happens in play", Vincent's "system provides unwelcome elements" (paraphrasing).

The Griffin Museum in Montreal is definitely closing its doors
Muriel Doyle September 17, 2021 2 min read
The institution that displayed wax statues of celebrities has fallen victim to the epidemic.
After a year of closure due to the pandemic, Grévin Montreal was forced to make a difficult choice and announced the final closure of the museum starting today, September 16, 2021 The organization explained in a press release.
drop in attendance
It's a really economic decision, explains Kathleen Payet, the museum's executive director. Our doors are closed for 50 weeks from 2020 until the end of February 2021. Since reopening at the end of February, attendance has not been up to our expectations .
Before the pandemic, the museum hosted about 150,000 people annually. Since its reopening, it has received only a third of its regular audience and employs about twenty people.
It was a shock for everyone to learn [la nouvelle], but it's an understandable shock Kathleen Payet.
The museum added a special thanks to the members of the Academy who helped build this museum by selecting personalities from here who marked our history. And finally, thanks to the personalities and artists who have shaped and continue to shape our world. They have been our inspiration and they continue to inspire.

Since Monday, the museum has indicated on its website that it is closed Because of a major technical problem .
The Musée Grévin in Montreal opened in April 2013 on the top floor of the Eaton Center in downtown Montreal. It had more than a hundred wax figurines on it, including those of Riccardo Larvie, Julie Snyder, Dominique Michel, Guillen Tremblay, Jean Bellevue, Maurice Richard and Justin Trudeau.

What will happen to the wax statues?
The Musée Grévin in Montreal has begun dismantling its gallery, as it should have left the building by the end of October.
This morning, the team contacted the figures whose wax copies were on display in the museum to suggest that they restore their statue in order to give it a second life. Some of the wax sculptures will go to the Musée Grévin in Paris. The others will be donated to Quebec Museums. We are talking to some of them now. Kathleen Payet said.

Geography: Wales, South Glamorgan. Part of the Cardiff council area.
Main population centres: Cardiff, Roath, Pentwyn, Cyncoed.
Profile: A compact seat which includes the city centre itself, the Millenium Stadium, the university area of Cardiff, the Victorian avenues and terraces of Roath and the leafy suburb of Cyncoed to the north. It is very much a university seat, with one of the highest proportions of students of any seat in the country.
Politics: Containing some of the more affluent and desirable suburbs of Cardiff, Cardiff central was a Conservative held marginal during the 1980s. However since then the Liberal Democrats surplanted them in second place, and ultimately won the seat in 2005 before losing it again in the post-coaltion rout of 2015.
JO STEVENS (Labour) Born 1966, Swansea. Educated at Manchester University. Former solicitor. First elected as MP for Cardiff Central in 2015.
RICHARD HOPKIN (Conservative) Born Wales. Educated at Cambridge University.
JO STEVENS (Labour) Born 1966, Swansea. Educated at Manchester University. Solicitor.
JENNIFER WILLOTT (Liberal Democrat) Born 1974, Wimbledon. Educated at Wimbledon High School and Durham University. Researcher to Lembit Opik. Merton councillor 1998-2000. Contested Cardiff Central 2001. MP for Cardiff Central 2005 to 2015. Government whip since 2012.
ANTHONY RAYBOULD (UKIP) Born Pontypridd.
CHRIS VON RUHLAND (Green) Born London. Biomedical scientist. Contested Cardiff North 2010.
MARTIN POLLARD (Plaid) Born 1977, London. Educated at Cardiff University. Education officer.
If I were Labour I'd be awfully inclined not to offer anything to Plaid. I'm not at all convinced that Plaid want to go back to the electorate with the idea of a Government dependent on Tory and UKIP support.
The small difficulty then is that it may well be that all or some of the Tory and UKIP AMs abstaining next time there is a vote is what ends up getting Carwyn in – then the tables would be turned and Plaid could accuse Labour of being dependant on Tory and UKIP support.
Labour minority administration set to be voted in tomorrow after talks with Plaid.
Looks like Plaid have basically folded. They seem to have got nothing much in return.
"The leader of Plaid Cymru has said she has been taken aback by the strength of the campaign in Wales to leave the EU.
Plaid voters are almost split down the middle too (unlike all other Parties of the Left).
I can't see Remain winning decisively in any Welsh areas apart from Cardiff Central and perhaps Ceredigion. Monmouth may vote Remain due to being so middle-class.
I think that's right. It's wrong to bracket Wales with NI and Scotland, as the media have lazily been doing. IMO Wales will be somewhere between 50/50 and slightly leaning to Leave (ie. pretty similar to England overall). Interesting that the loud campaigning about how much money Wales gets from the EU seems to have had little effect, in contrast to NI.
I'm not sure the money is anything to do with the likely pro-Remain result in NI. For obvious reasons (the border, integration with the Republic generally etc.) nationalists are very strongly in favour of the EU. That means that even though the unionist vote is divided (or even Leave-leaning) overall NI is strongly pro-Remain. As ever NI is best viewed as two political systems rather than one.
Arguably the unionist vote would be much more pro-Leave if it weren't for all the EU subsidy, but I take your point.
Back to Wales, it will be interesting to see how the nationalist areas vote. I imagine most of the Labour and Tory seats outside Cardiff will go for Leave.
The thing about Northern Ireland is that a heavy proportion of nationalists are accustomed to not voting at all. The question is whether they'll make an exception for the referendum. If not, Leave may do better than expected.
North Antrim, the deeply unionist seat represented by the Paisleys and where the ultra hard-line TUV have consistently got 15% or so of the vote, could be an outside shot for one of the highest Leave votes in the whole UK.
Jack S – yes I was just about to make a similar point re how different the votes will be in N Antrim v Foyle. Sinn Fein & the SDLP just tend to hold opposite positions to the DUP on almost any issue, eg Israel, gay rights, abortion and so on.
I'd expect Unionists to vote almost 70% for Leave and Nationalists 75%+ for Remain.
The polls have apparently been showing Nationalists voting 90% Remain and Unionists about 65% Leave.
Well I wouldn't fancy polling in West Belfast to find out. I think the new Leftist outfits are both pro Leave there, but I could see the SF vote being 90% Remain.
I doubt Wales will go decisively either way, it should be close.
Green and Alliance supporters in NI polled overwhelmingly for remain, it was a similar percentage to the nationalists if I remember rightly.
There is a council by-election coming up shortly in the Plasnewydd Ward which covers roath. A date has not been set yet but this could be close as last time in 2012 labour took all four seats but only beat one of the lib dem candidate by less than 50 votes.
Given the current unpopularity of the council it could be a lib dem gain.
My guess a definite case of Plopwell there. Far too many students for the Libs to be seriously competitive these days unless its a Tory held seat (which obviously this isn't) Also there was probably a lot of strategic votes from Tories here who now might drift back to their preferred choice thus depressing the Lib vote further. Final thing to consider the Libs have lost incumbency now and Lab will have first time incumbency next election. What's more Stevens is something of a perfect fit for the seat. If I had to guess I'd say this all points to an increased Lab majority here next time.
Maybe the LDs have a sniff of the assembly seat though. IIRC they weren't that far away in May.
But the turnout in the assembly seat was over 20 points lower than at the GE and I don't think its too big a guess that it was primarily students who didn't bother to vote for the AE which undoubtedly aided the Lib Dems but makes the seat a very tough nut in the higher turnout GE.
The profile reminds us of this seat's Conservative past. Any chance the Lib Dems fall far enough (or they increase enough) for them to regain second place?
If the stars aligned Tories could probably nab second place but truthfully Cardiff Tories would much rather see the seat partitioned with Cyncoed added to Cardiff North.
There is a council by election in the Plasnewydd Ward of Cardiff Central on September 20th. This will be interesting and maybe give an idea of whether the close Assembly election result was a sign of a lib dem revival or just students not bothering to vote.
It doesn't make a huge difference if the boundary review goes through, this seat is partitioned amongst its neighbours and the areas of Lib Dem strength with it.
Lib Dem gain from Labour. And very poor PC and Green result.
As I understand it, the existing boundaries will be used for the 2021 Assembly election. The Lib Dems will probably take this by-election result as a signal to really work this seat.
The 1997 to 2005 Scottish Westminster Constituencies that were abolished at Westminster in 2005 when Scotland was reduced from 72 to 59 constituencies were used again at the 2007 Holyrood elections before being abolished in 2011.
Political parties in Scotland are now generally organised by the 73 Holyrood rather than 59 Westminster constituencies. I would imagine Wales will follow suit.
Do any political parties in Scotland still organise themselves by parliamentary constituency?
Jo Stevens appointed shadow welsh secretary.
Confirmed on BBC News too now.
On each constituency thread the posts form a conversation. Paul D was responding to the post immediately above, by BM11. So the "she" in question is the MP for this seat, Jo Stevens.
Before posting again, you should spend some time looking around the site to understand how it works. You should also look at the "comments" policy.
There's talk of Labour Whips voting against the party line on A50. If this does happen, has this ever happened before. I have had a look and I can't see any precedent.
She might head off some of the likely swing to the Lib Dems by opposing Article 50 (see Plasnewydd by-election above). Local elections are in May, with all seats up. Cardiff voted remain.
IIRC Rosie Winterton voted to intervene in Syria. But I guess that was a free vote so it doesn't really count.
Is it known whether any Conservative backbenchers are planning to vote against or to abstain?
Very few Tories will vote against. ..SOUBRY, CLARKE are the only two very likely to vote against triggering A50.
Soubry has said several times that she will vote with the government – in fact she called for Article 50 to be triggered on the morning of 24th June (in admittedly a somewhat tired and emotional state – I can't find the video unfortunately).
Ken Clarke has said he expects to be the only Conservative opposing.
I call them rebels, I'm still half-expecting Jeremy Corbyn to relax the whip – but he is nothing if not stubborn (or "principled" as his followers describe it).
It is interesting that of the 13 Labour MPs on the "definite no" list, 6 are first time MPs who replaced Lib Dems in 2015.
Also notable is that every "definite" on that list represents a remain-voting seat (according to Hanretty). Even Pontypridd which I was somewhat surprised by (not sure I trust the Hanretty estimate there).
Among the "on the fence" contingent, Angela Smith (Penistone & Stockbridge), Graham Allen (Nottingham North) and Paul Farrelly (Newcastle-under-Lyme) represent leave constituencies.
"Tried and emotional" – is that still a euphemism for pissed as a newt?
Yup. Though it was kind of hard to tell whether she was merely distraught or whether she had been drowning her sorrows.
I also realise my hypocrisy for using this phrase when I recently called out someone else on another thread for using "enhanced interrogation" to mean something more sinister.
47 rebels. 9 in Leave seats – Pontypridd, Bridgend, Cynon Valley, Rhondda, Southampton Test, Wakefield, Nottingham N & S & Newcastle-under-Lyme. Not too bad for Corbyn considering the cause. Welsh rebels can cite SM, Nottm and Soton financial impact & relatively close votes. Creagh & Farrelly will need to cite conscientious objection.
Labour Cllr Manzoor Ahmed has joined the LibDems on the City Council.
Labour Cllr Ralph Cook – who had been sitting as an Ind Green – has now joined the LibDems on the City Council.

Having Barb telling us that she knows about the whereabouts of Bobby's little brother was so exciting to find out. Keeping it a secret wasn't so exciting, though. I wanted to know as did everyone else. But Barb was very tight lip about it for some reason.
Then finding out that Melly was the one who copied the seventh ledger as well as replaced it when it was burnt was a big surprise too. It helped to answer a few things the others had questions for. Of course, we had to call Peter and let him know of this latest development with his daughter and after he and Celia came around, they were informed of just about everything.
Then there was us all looking through all the albums and boxes of photo's that Sharon had given to Barb of her grandparents which made it all even more exciting. But my eyes were constantly being drawn to the photo's that had been set up on the bench and far wall of both George and Violet. They were such a beautiful couple. They really were. And it was hard not to look at both Barb and Jimmy who were the images of those two whom they resembled.
So it was fairly late by the time we all turned in for the night. I was so tired and I have to say it was a relief to finally close my eyes that night. The following day we were going to spend with both Alice and Henry. They called their other two daughters who lived not too far away and we were all going to have dinner with them and their families.
We were still organising arrangements for the Webster clan to come up to Bend and visit with others of the Joifield family. By the time we get there, both Daniel and their kids with John and Joy will have arrived. George was staying in England at the moment after proving who he was and settling in at the family seat he inherited from his great, great-grandfather, Sebastian Chesterfield.
It seems that George has already set himself up as a 'gentleman' according to the English hierarchy as it becomes known that he is the latest Earl of Lowell, which is the seat of the Chesterfield family. I can't wait to meet the Earl. I would imagine that he would very well suit the title.
The next morning, I can't remember what it was that broke through my sub conscience and begin to wake me up. It could have been the birds that I can hear chirping outside the window or the low hum of voices of those who were already up and awake getting themselves ready for the day. But I was now alert enough to think about getting myself up and ready to face the day.
But I was still so tired. I was thinking that enough was enough and I was going to make an appointment as soon as possible with the doctor and get myself checked out. It has to be more than jetlag. I'm sure it shouldn't have lasted this long. It was ridiculous is what it is. Ridiculous.
So I roused myself to get up and after refreshing myself with a quick shower, I was dressed and heading down the stairs and following the voices to where I found them all congregating in the kitchen together. The atmosphere was quite jovial I was thinking.
" There you are. We have decided to do a bit of sightseeing today and have a break from everything. What do you think?" Jenny was excited to tell me that little bit of information with a smile on her face.
" That sounds like a pleasant change from everything. " I said to her as I made my way across the room to make myself a cup of tea. But halfway across the room, I thought the room was wobbling and the others were making faces at me.
" Sarah?" I vaguely heard Jenny ask me something. Or just call my name. I just blinked at her as I stood beside the bench with the cups. Everything was really wobbling in front of me and I didn't know why.

The Archangel Michael Symbols and Their Metaphorical Meanings
Saint Michael is arguably the most powerful and well-known angel in Christianity. In fact, he is the archangel, which means an angel of high rank. According to the Orthodox Church, he is referred to as the chief commander of the Heavenly hosts and is responsible for defending the Church and opposing Satan. That is why so many Christians use the icons featuring Michael as the protection against war, conflicts, and death. Little do people know what is depicted in those icons, as there are several typical variations of them, each including different symbolic items that bear significance. Let's dig into the world of the Archangel Michael symbols and their metaphorical meanings.
Below you will find some of the most common objects associated with and depicted together with the Archangel Michael. Let's take a look.
Sword & spear and a shield
Michael wields a massive spear or sword given to him by God to fight his brother Lucifer. Together with a shield, such weaponry symbolizes the power given to the saint and his holy mission to protect those who trust the Lord in times of trouble.
Crown & banners
Crown on his head and banners on a trumpet, which will be mentioned a bit later, are some other excellent Archangel Michael symbols. These are the embodiment of his power and privilege. Let's not forget that he is the chief of the Lord's army and thus has a superior status among other angels.
Colors of his skin, attire & armor
Saint Michael's icons usually focus on three colors: golden, red, and blue. For example, golden armor signalizes the perfection and finality of Saint Michael's figure as a commander. His blue attire under scale mail expresses the feeling of protection, faith, and courage. At the same time, his skin is red, which indicates the presence of fire of dignity in his heart and body.
Golden trumpet
The sound of the trumpet denotes military strength, as it was used as a signaling instrument during battles. The Archangel is often depicted blowing the trumpet while thrusting the spear into the mouth of the devil, which adds a taste of victory to the connotation and makes the trumpet one of the most interesting Archangel Michael symbols in the icon.
The Archangel Michael symbols prove the powerful holiness and importance of the saint for Christianity. They are also a wonderful example of rich symbolism in Russian iconography that never ceases to amaze people.

Thomas Dulorme Shines In Panama
PANAMA CITY, Panama (Oct. 23, 2011) - Undefeated Puerto Rican boxer Thomas Dulorme improved his record to (13-0, 10 KO's) with a dominating, nine-round unanimous decision last night against world title contender Charlie Jose Navarro (20-5, 15 KO's), at Roberto Duran Arena in Panama. The judges scored the bout 89-81, 89-81 and 90-80, all in favor of Dulorme.
Dulorme was in control of the fight from start to finish. He showed his guts and courage against an opponent who did not yield to the attack. Dulorme won the fight by relying on his speed and combinations versus the Venezuelan.
"I feel really well and thrilled with the achievement," Duloreme said. "Navarro is a great fighter and I feel like I beat the world champion because I saw his fight with Senchenko (reigning WBA champion) and that was close. This experience will help me improve a lot and achieve my goals in boxing," said Dulorme, who is promoted by Universal Promotions, Gary Shaw Productions and DiBella Entertainment.
Thomas set the pace from the opening bell, using his jab and keeping a distance, which proved to be of great help as he landed various flurries of combinations in the first two rounds. In the third, Dulorme's offensive began to flow as he attacked Navarro's body, displaying his superior boxing skills from a distance.
From the fourth round on, Dulorme completely dominated Navarro, who had serious problems working against the speed of the Puerto Rican. Thomas demonstrated knowledge beyond his actual experience in professional boxing. His jab and speed were factors in their comprehensive victory.
With his victory against Navarro, Dulorme kept his unbeaten record intact, successfully defending his NABA welterweight title.

Canada's High Commission to Ghana has expressed the appreciation of its government to the Ghana Police Service and the government of Ghana for the quick rescue of two of its citizens on Wednesday, 12 June 2019 after they had been abducted from the Royal Golf Club in Kumasi on 4 June 2019.
"Thanks to the Ghana Police Service and the Government of Ghana for all efforts made to secure the safe release of the Canadians. We also appreciate the messages of support and concern from many Ghanaians and Canadians," the High Commission posted on its official Facebook page.
The two women are Lauren Patricia Catherine Tilley, 19; and Bailey Jordan Chitty, 20.
Eight suspects have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping.
The suspects are made up of five Ghanaians and three Nigerians, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told journalists on Wednesday, 12 June 2019.
Mr Nkrumah also denied claims that the government of Ghana received support from the Canadian government in rescuing the volunteers.
He said: "There was no support from foreigners in rescuing the girls."
"The operation involved the CID of the Ghana Police Service, the Bureau of National Investigations, the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit of the National Security Council and the Defence Intelligence. No foreign assets were involved in the operation," he stated.

The 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army established in 1715. It saw service for three centuries including the First World War and Second World War but then amalgamated with the 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales' Own) to form the Royal Hussars in 1969.

History

Formation to end 18th century

The regiment was formed at Colchester in July 1715 by Philip Honeywood as Honeywood's Regiment of Dragoons, one of 16 raised in response to the 1715 Jacobite rising. It fought in the Battle of Preston that ended the revolt in England and while many of these formations were disbanded in 1718, Honeywood's remained in being.

In the 1745 Jacobite rising, it took part in the December 1745 Clifton Moor Skirmish, allegedly the last military engagement on English soil, as well as Culloden in April, often cited as the last pitched battle on British soil. After 1751, regiments were numbered, rather than being named after the current Colonel, and it became the 11th Regiment of Dragoons.

When the Seven Years' War broke out in 1756, the regiment took part in the 1758 raids on St Malo and Cherbourg. Attempting to divert French forces from Hanover, they failed to achieve this aim and the regiment was shipped to Germany in May 1760 as part of the Marquess of Granby's cavalry corps, winning its first battle honour in July at Warburg. It was also present in the Allied victory at Villinghausen in July 1761, which forced the French onto the defensive and ultimately led to the Treaty of Paris in 1763.

In 1755, each dragoon regiment added a reconnaissance or 'light' troop; in February 1779, these were detached, that from the 11th helping form the 19th Light Dragoons, which in 1862 became the 19th Royal Hussars. While dragoons had previously been mounted infantry, as part of a tactical rethink, the 11th was re-designated in 1783 as 'light cavalry' and became the 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons.

During the French Revolutionary Wars, two squadrons of the 11th Light Dragoons took part in the Duke of York's Low Countries campaign in 1793-95, including  the action at Famars and the sieges of Valenciennes and Landrecies. It was also involved in the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland, including the October 1799 battles of Alkmaar and Castricum.

The 19th century

With the exception of a short spell in Egypt in 1801, the regiment did not see active service again until it was sent to Portugal in April 1811, where it joined the Peninsular War campaign. In August, a ten-man piquet was surprised and captured at San Martín de Trevejo in Spain, an incident that may have given rise to the regiment's nickname, The Cherry Pickers, which tradition associates with a mishap occurring in the vicinity of a cherry orchard. It fought at Badajoz in April 1812 and the Battle of Salamanca in July 1812 before returning to Britain. During the campaign of 1815, it was part of Vandeleur's 4th Cavalry Brigade, fighting at Quatre Bras and Waterloo.

In 1819, the regiment moved to India, where it remained until 1836. Shortly before returning to Britain, the Earl of Cardigan became lieutenant-colonel; he embarked on a series of changes, which were intended to increase regimental prestige but resulted in a number of highly publicised disputes, including the so-called 'Black Bottle' affair.

In 1840, it was named 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort, who became colonel of the regiment. Prince Albert's interests included military tactics and equipment and he helped design a new uniform for the regiment named after him. Purely by coincidence, this included "cherry" or crimson coloured trousers, unique among British regiments and worn ever since in most orders, except battledress and fatigues.

The regiment served in the Crimean War, as part of the Light Brigade commanded by Cardigan, now a Major General and fought at the Battle of Alma in September 1854. It was also involved in the Charge of the Light Brigade in October 1854; due to miscommunication, Cardigan led the brigade against unbroken and more numerous Russian forces and while able to withdraw to its starting position, it suffered heavy losses as a result.

The 11th lost three officers and 55 men in the debacle, while Lieutenant Dunn was awarded the Victoria Cross for rescuing two members of his troop. Edward Woodham of the 11th Hussars later acted as Chairman of the organising committee for the 21st Anniversary dinner held at Alexandra Palace for survivors of the Charge. The regiment was renamed the 11th (or Prince Albert's Own) Hussars in 1861. A detachment took part in the 1884 Nile Expedition and during the Second Boer War, it participated in the February 1900 Relief of Ladysmith.

In 1911 Prince Albert's great-grandson Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia became colonel-in-chief of the regiment. He was removed in October 1914 following the outbreak of the First World War.

The First World War

The regiment landed in France as part of the 1st Cavalry Brigade in the 1st Cavalry Division in August 1914 for service on the Western Front with the British Expeditionary Force. The regiment took part in the Great Retreat and the regiment, working with the 2nd Dragoon Guards, conducted a cavalry charge which led to the capture of eight guns at Néry in September 1914. In an action during the Battle of Messines in October 1914 a squadron from the regiment endured a heavy German bombardment that left many of its soldiers buried in a trench while another squadron from the regiment used a vantage point at the top of a building to train a machine gun on the Germans. At the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915 the regiment, working with the Durham Light Infantry and 9th Lancers, held the village of Hooge despite being under attack from the German forces using poison gas. In spring 1918 the commanding officer of the regiment Colonel Rowland Anderson led a bayonet assault at Sailly-Laurette which, taking the Germans by surprise, led to them being completely repulsed.

The inter-war years
The regiment was renamed the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own) in 1921; it became the first British cavalry regiment to become mechanized in 1928 and it became involved in suppressing the Arab revolt in Palestine in 1936.

The Second World War

The regiment, which had been located in Egypt when the war started, deployed as part of the divisional troops of the 7th Armoured Division and conducted raids on Italian positions in Italian Libya using armoured cars during the Western Desert Campaign. It captured Fort Capuzzo in June 1940 and, in an ambush east of Bardia, captured General Lastucci, the Engineer-in-Chief of the Italian Tenth Army.

Following the Italian invasion of Egypt in September 1940, the regiment took part in the British counterattack called Operation Compass, launched against Italian forces first in Egypt, then Libya. It was part of an ad hoc combat unit called Combeforce, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel John Combe, that cut the retreating Tenth Army off and led to their surrender at the Battle of Beda Fomm in February 1941. The regiment fought at the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942. The regiment took part in the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943 and, after the Normandy landings in June 1944, took part in the North-West Europe Campaign.

Post-war

The regiment was posted to Wavell Barracks in Berlin in 1945 and, after tours at various locations in Lower Saxony including Jever, Delmenhorst, Osnabrück and Wesendorf, it returned home in March 1953. It deployed to Johor Bahru in Malaya in July 1953 during the Malayan Emergency. After returning home, it moved to Hadrian's Camp in Carlisle as an Armoured Basic Training Unit in August 1956, then to Lisanelly Barracks in Omagh back into the armoured reconnaissance role in August 1959, and then deployed to Aden in November 1960 shortly before the Aden Emergency. It returned to England in November 1961 and then moved to Haig Barracks in Hohne in October 1962 where, after becoming the first regiment to use Chieftain tanks in regular service in 1967, it remained until returning home again in January 1969. The regiment was amalgamated with the 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own), to form the Royal Hussars on 25 October 1969.

BRIDGETOWN – It's 9:07 a.m. as Dr. Tim McCarren emerges from his second appointment on a busy Monday.
Another patient is waiting and he has four phone messages to answer. He gets one caller admitted to the emergency room at Mercy Hospital Western Hills and finds an open appointment at 11:30 for another caller with stomach pains.
McCarren then spends 11 minutes on his laptop, filling in information about the patient he just saw, including ordering an MRI exam that his office will have to pre-certify with the insurance company.
If all goes as planned – and it rarely does – he will see about two dozen more patients today, mostly in 10-minute blocks. He'll end in late afternoon by catching up on the paperwork he couldn't finish during the day.
Welcome to the life of a family doctor, the first line of medical care for most patients.
Doctors like McCarren and his colleagues at Family Medical Group hear about problems from arthritis to alcoholism. They're expected to be up-to-date on the latest research and they take turns visiting the practice's patients in hospitals.
But the job isn't as satisfying – or lucrative – as it was one or two generations ago.
Then, family doctors made house calls and treated many patients from childhood to retirement. Now, medical-school graduates increasingly are choosing specialties where they can make more money and see fewer patients.
Experts predict this will lead to family-doctor shortages within a generation, particularly in rural areas.
While the shortages haven't hit as hard in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky yet, the 5,875 family doctors in Ohio and Kentucky in 2006 will have to grow by 1,600 doctors to meet projected needs in 2020, the American Academy of Family Physicians projects.
Currently, 1,315 primary-care doctors work in the region, including family doctors and pediatricians but not OB/GYN doctors. Nationally, family doctors are only 12 percent of all physicians.
As presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama debate ways to restructure the health-care system, the stresses and shortages of family doctors present an ominous trend for patients.
With a population that's getting older and will need even more medical care, patients face the prospect of longer waits, shorter appointments and less familiarity with their doctors.
The average family doctor makes $173,812 a year, but probably still is paying off debt from medical school, according to the Medical Group Management Association. More than half of medical-school graduates owe $150,000 or more.
Only 29 percent of family doctors expect to make more money than last year, but nearly three-quarters said they provide better health care than 10 years ago, according to a survey in May by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
The average doctor also sees more patients – an average of 6,250 encounters a year, or about two dozen each day. That's up 13 percent from three years ago.
McCarren, 57, who has practiced for more than two decades, says malpractice insurance has become less expensive since family doctors stopped delivering babies.
Most of all, family doctors face a constant need to document every appointment and certify tests with the insurance company, all to squeeze maximum costs out of the health-care system.
Mouch says the record-keeping usually lasts well beyond the work day.
To many patients, getting to see the doctor has become a chore. After time in a crowded waiting room, they might get 10 minutes with their doctor before being shuffled out the door with a prescription in hand.
Behind the doctor's office door is a series of compromises to financial and time pressures that only minimize the face time between doctors and patients.
Katia Adams, a family doctor at Patient First in Florence, says she takes the cost of a drug into account before prescribing it because the patient's insurance might not cover it. Demands on her time sometimes make staying on schedule impossible.
More than a dozen patients are in the waiting room at Family Medical Group in Bridgetown after the door opens at 7 a.m. The office sees at least 250 patients a day, with a dozen doctors rotating shifts at two offices. Each doctor spends one week every three months treating the practice's patients at Good Samaritan or Mercy Western Hills hospitals.
Patient visits are scheduled in 10-minute blocks, or longer for a physical. Doctors usually get one open block every hour, but some can see as many as nine patients in a row, and by 9 a.m. on most days, there are only afternoon appointments left.
On this Monday morning, McCarren never sits down and is unsure when he'll have time to eat lunch. He takes his time with most patients, asking about their smoking or their diet before starting to examine them. He says he feels fortunate because he knows many patients by name.
Because of the way they are paid by health insurers and Medicare, the business has morphed into a model where the more patients doctors see, the more money they make.
Few patients, particularly those who have waited past their appointment times, will feel sorry for doctors who make more than $170,000 a year.
They want a doctor who is patient and will talk to them about their problems. Tom Kelley, a 25-year patient of McCarren's and one of his appointments on this Monday morning, says he always has done just that.
Insurance companies, often blamed for problems in the health-care system, say they collaborate with doctors to improve medical care.
Dr. Barry Malinowski, medical director at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Ohio, says the insurer's pay-for-performance plan started in 2004 has resulted in higher payments to doctors who meet quality measures.
Those range from developing plans for asthma patients to not prescribing antibiotics when they're not needed. The program has slowed emergency room admissions, one of the highest-cost ways of delivering care, by close to 20 percent.
Of about 3,000 doctors in Anthem's Ohio network, about 80 percent have earned at least a 2 percent increase in fees and nearly one-third get the maximum 12 percent increase, Malinowski says.
Malinowski acknowledges that insurers are asking doctors to get pre-approval for more of their tests. One program started several years ago has kept the level of MRI and CAT scans steady. They had been growing about 20 percent a year, he says.
Malinowski, a pediatrician, acknowledges the pressures family doctors face. "They probably feel like more is being asked of them and they're not getting reimbursed for some of those increased demands," he says.
Adams, the doctor at Patient First in Florence, says she doesn't have to deal with business details much since she's part of a group owned by St. Elizabeth Medical Center.
But Family Medical Group is one of the largest independent groups remaining in the region. It hired two more doctors last year to staff a Harrison Avenue office.
McCarren says the demands from all directions are among the biggest changes in medical care in his career and can be daunting for medical-school residents who come in for a look.
