The choral and instrumental compositions of John Amner have been eclipsed by other English Renaissance composers, yet his printed collection of music from 1615, Sacred Hymnes of 3. 4. 5 and 6. Parts for Voyces and Vyols, is comparable in style, content and structure to other publications from the Elizabethan and Jacobean era. This dissertation provides a critical re-evaluation of John Amner supported by new biographical details and a more comprehensive review of the role of patronage throughout his life in order to generate a more detailed profile of the composer. It assesses his contribution of composition while Master of the Choristers at Ely Cathedral, the publication of Sacred Hymnes as an addition to the sacred domestic music market in England and the instrumental compositional output found in various collectors' partbooks. A dichotomy in the practice of recreational music in English society is explored through a consideration of the iconography and symbolism of the title page of Sacred Hymnes, with a view to elucidating the intimate relationship between domestic musicmaking and the practices of piety and prayer. This is further developed with an analytical narrative that investigates the texts and terminal inscriptions with the aim of discovering a theme or theological ideology. The terminology associated with this small canon of music is examined and a clear differentiation between music for the domestic chamber and church chancel is established. Amner's compositional forms and harmonic vocabulary are explored while reflecting on the role of instrumental forces and the emerging popularity of the Consort Anthem. This is enhanced by highlighting examples of compositions written for the domestic setting that found their way into choir partbooks, which either purposely or unintentionally, reanimated Renaissance church music. Finally, the legacy of Amner's compositions is evaluated with an appraisal of English provincial choir partbooks, transcriptions and the dissemination of his Sacred Hymnes with specific reference to the collections of John Merro and Thomas Hamond. The dissertation concludes with an exploration of the manuscript inscriptions found in extant copies of Sacred Hymnes such as those belonging to Conyers Darcy. A comparative assessment of liturgical and secular sources is included to differentiate between the accompaniment style for viol consort and the organ.


We caught up with past Contessa winner, Anna Pacitto to find out how her wins have impacted her career, and what she's up to these days.
Contessa Record: First woman to win the Canadian Hairstylist of the Year award (1998).
What was your most memorable Contessa win?
had participated in other competitions before, but nothing changed my career as much as the Contessas. I give a lot of the credit to participating—winning is a big highlight, but it's really the whole journey and how it transforms you from being an ordinary hairstylist to wanting to constantly better yourself and raise your own bar.
Shooting hair collections is my favourite part of hairdressing. To be able to see your work in print or online is an incredible feeling; when you show your clients what you are able to create, it takes on a new dimension and importance. It's what I enjoy the most in our industry.
What has been your favourite Contessa moment from the cocktail party or gala?
It's always special. You meet so many people from the industry. By far, was in 1998 [after being the first woman to win Canadian Hairstylist of the Year] and having so many women come up to me to congratulate me. Our industry is still at around 70 per cent women and 30 per cent men, and I think it took almost 10 years for a woman to win [Canadian Hairstylist of the Year], so to have so many women congratulating me, it was a moment that stands out to me. It was surreal.
From your experience, what can winning a Contessa do for someone's career?
It has a tremendous impact. I think it's what really changed my career. In 1998, I was offered [the position of] artistic director for L'Oréal Professionnel Canada, and I don't think it would have happened that quickly [without the Contessas]. We also opened our salon [Pure] in June of 1998. The Contessas can open up incredible opportunities for you.
Right now, I'm concentrating on my work with Davines. I'm very passionate about what they stand for. I think it changed my lifestyle and changed me to the core. It gave me back an incredible spark, and I feel 15 years younger, and want to move mountains.
Are there any Contessa categories that you're still hoping to enter and win?
Elite Master, and maybe Avant Garde again. Those are my favourite. Also, Salon Team. I would say the Salon Team award is what can most [impact] your business. The people around you—your team—it's the most fun to win. You don't win by yourself; I always feel a little guilty when I win an award that only has my name on it because I didn't get there by myself. When you win a Salon Team award, that is when magic happens and you can celebrate wholeheartedly, because it just feels right. It takes a team to win any award.

Hugo Weaving, on the other hand, was perfectly cast as the Red Skull. While I might have preferred the villain to be more grounded in reality, the Red Skull made for a sinister figure even before he took off his "human face". And what can be more sinister than a villain with the voice of Werner Herzog? After the movie I brought up the idea that Hugo Weaving seemed to be doing a Werner Herzog impersonation for the Red Skull. I believe my wife's response was, "You are probably the only person who thought that." This of course lead me to do a Google search where I found an interview with Hugo Weaving where he stated that he did indeed base the character's accent on Herzog. And for most everyone (including me) who doesn't know what the German director looks like, I have included him in the second sketch.
First post on here so just wanted to thank Si and everyone for having me.
Had lots of fun with this one and I will get better at this toned paper thing!
George O' Connor's new Graphic novel, HERA: THE GODDESS AND HER GLORY is being released this week!
To celebrate, everyone is going to the wonderful Bergen Street Comics this Saturday, July 23rd for the Official Book Release Party.
There will be a workshop for kids where they'll be making their own Olympians from 4 to 6, and then a wild Bacchanalia for the grown-ups from 8 to 11. Nectar and Ambrosia will be served.
Click HERE for more info on the event. I hope you all can make it!
Savage Dragon funnies tonight at Hanley's in Manhattan from 6 to 8!
And in honor of these events, we at Drawbridge are drawing "Bacchanalia" sketches!
a break for the summer("people" being everyone but me).
over at my place when I can.
sketches! Today's sketch is...a sketch!
I'm channeling my inner Steve Ellis today. It all got very painterly. So this is a pencil sketch, photographed then painted over in good old Photoshop.
As of today DrawBridge is going weekly for the next couple of months. It's summertime and I know that we would all rather be locked in our gloomy studios working, than outside soaking up the sunshine or drawing just for the fun of it.
Someone searched these key words last week and found Draw Bridge.
Thus,Simon and George though it should be today's theme.
What is up with them and their wacky theme ideas???!
When Grant Morrison eventually ascends to godhood then comes back down to Earth and gives us all superpowers, I hope that Lisa gets big, beautiful, butterfly wings. Happy Birthday Lisa.

Every time I see Lisa Natoli defying the laws of Gravity and God through her aerialist performances I am in awe. I can type away at describing what Lisa does, but see for yourself at her site LISA'S BRIGHT IDEAS. She performs regularly, so keep your eye out for it.
Made it with just a few minutes to spare! This is Kay from Akira, by the way, and I really should've drawn her holding a knife or a spoon or something a little less detailed. Anyway, I kept ink away from this one, just to see how neat I could keep the pencil marks. I made up for it with the color.
Akira ( and Katsuhiro Otomo ) taught me many things, possibly the most important of all those things was the value of stillness and calm.
I saw the movie in 1989, on a flakey NTSC VHS tape I got from a friend ( thanks Kiyo ). I think I watched it 5 times, then bought the soundtrack album ( brilliant!) and then all the albums by Geino Yamashirogumi. I have yet to see the movie in English, or even with subtitles. It doesn't need them.
So I was giving some thought to how Aquaman must move through the water. If he's swimming superfast underwater there are various friction effects that start to really make a difference to how things work, specifically Supercavitation which allows objects to move at extreme speeds through fluids by building a bubble of gas around themselves. In the case of Aquaman the gas would be steam caused by friction with the water. There are various naval torpedo systems in use that take advantage of this effect and scientists are theorising that a missile could achieve supersonic speed underwater. Of course something moving at that speed would be utterly devastating to anything anywhere near its flightpath...but never mind about that.
Aquaman is a character who really would have benefitted from being written and drawn by Jack Kirby.
Or, pandering to Mike Cavallaro.

Woman accused of hitting car in Hyannis after confrontation over Trump bumper sticker
Kristen Young @KristenCCT
Jul 31, 2018 at 7:35 PM Aug 1, 2018 at 6:27 AM
BARNSTABLE — A Taunton woman accused of intentionally driving into a man's car a month ago after becoming enraged by a Trump bumper sticker pleaded not guilty Monday in Barnstable District Court to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Chloe Wright, 25, also faces charges of vandalizing property and leaving the scene of property damage. She was released on $1,250 bail and was ordered to stay away from the victim.
On June 30, a man called Barnstable police to report a hit-and-run crash. He told responding officers he had been driving south on Bearses Way in Hyannis, and was stopped for a red light at the intersection of Route 28 when the driver of the car behind him began honking the horn, according to a police report.
The man continued driving onto Bassett Lane and the car followed, with the driver still honking, the man told police, according to the report. When he stopped again for a red light at the intersection with North Street, the driver also began yelling, the man said.
Thinking that something might be wrong with the back of his car, the man stepped out into the road. The driver began yelling at him about a Donald Trump bumper sticker on the back of his car, he told police.
"She said, 'You voted for Trump?'" the man wrote in a statement. "I said yes. She called me a racist and several other names."
As the man began recording the incident on his phone, the woman drove around his car, prompting him to step back into the driver's side door opening, he told police, according to the report. The woman then drove at him and hit the open door, he said, according to the report.
"She bent my door and I had to lean back to avoid getting hit," the man wrote. "She also hit the side of my car."
The woman drove away down North Street, the man told police.
The man's recording of the incident shows the woman's car, a gray Honda Civic, drive around his car and hit the open driver's-side door, according to the report. A statement by the man's girlfriend, who was in the car with him during the incident, confirmed the man's account, the report says.
The video showed the license plate number of the Civic, which police traced to Wright, the report says. The victim identified a license photo of Wright as the woman who had hit his car, according to the report.
State police stopped and arrested Wright as she was driving in Bourne Monday, after a random check of her license plate revealed an open warrant on the charges.
She's due back in court Aug. 28 for a pretrial hearing.

Since the 1970s, the playground has been a battlefield for this epic conflict: the best ideas of public health and safety engineering against the entropic impulses of children themselves. Parks and schools – driven by worries about injury and concerns about maintenance – have aggressively purged playgrounds of danger, and of life.
Want to take a more balanced approach to risk?
Here's the tool you have been waiting for. Today marks a new phase in the move to a more balanced, thoughtful approach to risk management risk in children's play and learning, with the launch of a short, easy-to-use assessment tool.
Children would rather be playing outdoors than watching television, but parents' concerns keep them indoors, a survey suggests.

St. Louis Cardinals Transactions
Ryan Jackson: Know Your St. Louis Cardinals Call-Ups
Share All sharing options for: Ryan Jackson: Know Your St. Louis Cardinals Call-Ups
The St. Louis Cardinals, having mercifully traded Tyler Greene to Jeff Luhnow and the Houston Astros, called up Ryan Jackson to replace him as the right-handed backup infielder and natural shortstop. The good news: Ryan Jackson isn't, at this writing, quite as unpopular in Busch Stadium as Tyler Greene. The other good news: He's supposedly a very-good-to-excellent shortstop, teleporting around the infield despite possessing none of Greene's standout physical tools.
The bad news: He's probably not going to hit. Jackson's career began with concerns that he'd even manage to slap his way out of the low minors; he put those to rest early, but he makes the leap from AAA to the majors having hit .269/.331/.398 in 483 Memphis plate appearances.
Jackson's got a few secondary skills—he's hit 10 home runs each of the last two years, and he can draw a walk—which give him a little more offensive upside than the usual defense-first empty-average hitter. But for what it's worth, the guy who just got booed out of St. Louis hit .291/.373/.477 in his protracted AAA career.
Stuck at second base and playing rarely, Jackson's not likely to get a fair chance to demonstrate his abilities in 2012. But he hasn't been burned in effigy yet, which is an improvement.

As it has the same connections, it would be interesting to see what curve is in stored, perhaps its not that bad.
Here you have them connected on the scope.
Here the two curves, as you can see ran out off paper drawing on a scale like this.


As we move more into 2015, I thought I'd put together my own list of the more interesting Canadian privacy cases of 2014. These are judicial decisions so there's no Commissioner findings or orders here. Some of these I've blogged about; others I've simply noted for future reference. I've not seen a similar list so feel free to debate my choices and the order I've placed them.
10. R. v. Colbourne is a case where the defendant, a hospital employee, violated Newfoundland's Personal Health Information Act in accessing patient files (1,043 of them!). This is the first conviction under that statute. With a guilty plea and fine, there's no decision but there is a press report here. This is one of the few instances in Canada of a criminal conviction concerning unauthorized access to personal health information. Fear of losing money should serve as good motivation to stop "snooping" on patients.
9. Bernard v Canada concerns the intersection of union rights with the privacy interests of "Rand formula" employees. In a story with a long and tortured history, the Public Service Labour Relations Board had determined that the government had to provide home contact information of bargaining unit members to the union. Ms Bernard didn't want that to happen. This 2-1 decision concluded that the Board's finding was reasonable in finding that the provision of a home address was "a necessary incident" of the union's representational obligations. In that context, there can be no reasonable expectation of privacy in that information.
8. Consent means consent in Royal Bank of Canada v. Trang. This decision highlights the balancing of interests required under PIPEDA between individual wants and organizational needs. All the more interesting is the Bank should have made a motion for the production of information (here a mortgage discharge statement) under Ontario's civil procedure rules as opposed to simply seeking production with no legal basis to do so.
7. R v. Godbout is a BC case concerning privacy rights in the contents of delivered packages. The court found no Charter violation because the sender had contractually authorized the inspection of the package both by the courier company and government authorities. As a result, the addressee was found to have no reasonable expectation of privacy. The case suggests the contractual waiver is sufficient to lose privacy interests but can one really sign away Charter rights? Especially if you didn't sign the shipping contract in the first place. Or is this more a case of everyone runs the risk of inspection so one can't expect privacy in delivered packages?
6. Hopkins v. Kay concerns a motion to dismiss a class action involving the disclosure of personal health information at a hospital in Peterborough. The argument was simply that Ontario had a regime in place in PHIPA to deal with privacy violations. Can the common law tort of intrusion upon seclusion be used if there's a statutory regime already in place? The motions judge shrewdly decided that there was a legitimate issue here – one significant enough that it should be dealt with not by a motions judge but rather the Court of Appeal.
5. The "right to be forgotten" and the role of search engines is a hot topic these days. In that context, is it right to require search engines to enforce court decisions? While it didn't attract much attention, that concept has already been applied in Canada in the BC decision of Equiteck v. Jack. The defendants were prohibited from carrying on business through any website. Google – a non-party — voluntarily complied with the plaintiffs' request to remove specific uniform resource locations ("URLs") from its Google.ca search results but was unwilling to block the URLs from its search results worldwide. Following an extensive analysis, the court issued an interim injunction to require Google to do just that.
4. Do those who download copyrighted material from the Internet have a right to privacy? Can their ISP provide their contact information to the copyright owner? This question came up in Voltage Pictures LLC v. John Doe. The ISP in this instance, Teksavvy, was a non-party from which the plaintiff sought the production of names, addresses and IP addresses. In a "privacy vs. IP" case, IP won.
2. Mobile phones and privacy were highlighted in the decision of R. v. Fearon. Can the police search such phones under the common law power to "search incident to a lawful arrest". The Supreme Court of Canada said yes, with some constraints being added. It is important to consider that the majority decision also noted that such phones are gateways to our personal world and such searches have the potential to be significant invasions of privacy.
1. In my view, the most significant case of the year is R. v. Spencer. Here the police obtained ISP subscriber information associated with an IP address without prior judicial authorization. Upon appeal, the Supreme Court of Canada decided that (i) Canadians have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their use of the Internet; (ii) a police investigation does not, in and of itself, constitute "lawful authority" to obtain personal information without a warrant; and (iii) a police request to an ISP to voluntarily disclose customer information is a "search" under the Charter.

Moyes tips Neville for longevity like Giggs
Posted by Steven Tan | Source from ESPN
Everton manager David Moyes has backed his captain Phil Neville to achieve his dream of another two or three years at the top level of English football.
Neville, who celebrates his 36th birthday next month, made his 500th Premier League appearance in the 2-1 win over Wigan on Boxing Day. His next target is to reach 700 career appearances, which he needs another 14 games to do.
The former Manchester United man demonstrated that he is still in good shape by returning from knee surgery three weeks ahead of schedule to play in the 2-1 win at West Ham last Saturday. And he is set to play a significant part when Everton host Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
"The pleasing thing is that I have still got the hunger and desire to play on for two or three seasons," Neville told the Liverpool Echo on Friday. And Moyes reckons that the Everton captain could challenge his former United team-mate Ryan Giggs in the Premier League longevity stakes.
"I think he could, with the way he's looked after his body," Moyes said. "He's just returned from a knee injury, so we've got to make sure that's right. But I think overall, he's somebody who has conducted himself off the field to get that longevity.
"I think whatever happens, Phil could easily play on for two or three years, he's in really good condition."
Moyes is looking forward to renewing rivalries with former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, who will be in the opposing dug-out as Chelsea's interim manager.
"I think he always wanted to be back in the Premier League," Moyes said. "He enjoyed his stint here. I think, like a lot of people who come into the country, he enjoyed the honesty, and the way the Premier League is played. He's bided his time, Rafa, to get another job. Good on him, he's at a very good club."
Moyes, meanwhile, dismissed a report in Friday's Independent newspaper, which stated that Chelsea were considering a move for left-back Leighton Baines.
He said: "You wouldn't believe whatever's in that paper, would you? I don't read the paper, first of all, but if I did, then I wouldn't comment on it, anyway."

It is so easy for me to get swept up in buying the season's latest trends, only for them to go out of style by the next year. It's time for me to invest in pieces that will stand the test of time, classics that I can wear over and over. These pieces do not come cheap, but then again, good classics never do. It might take you a bit of time to save up for each, but remember you're saving for great pieces that will truly last.
Pearls are classic accessory that should adorn every girl's neck at one point. I have a beautiful single strand set of pearls given to me by my mom and I love to put them on to instantly class up any outfit.

I really want a trench coat! I've also been trying to find a good blazer for the last few years, but I'm tall and have a smaller chest, so it's hard to find one that fits. I won't give up, though!
I do agree with these recommendations… I love the blazer. I have a couple which I should wear more often.
I have these all and couldn't agree more. I think you also need a cashmere scarf in a neutral color.
Agreed – a little black dress is a must!
I was just getting nostalgic about summer…but that blazer makes me excited for the cooler temps!
I feel SO weird in trench coats (maybe it's the colour that I'm trying on!). But I agree with all the other four things you mentioned!!
I just bought my first blazer a few months ago. Black and white striped.. I love it!
I love my blazers. They go with EVERYTHING.
I feel the same way about trench coats, and feel like everyone should own one!
I agree with all of these (minus the flats because I don't think I'll ever own any!) I have so many blazers it's ridiculous!
Black flats girl right here! My other half bought me pearls but I never wear them, maybe I should!
I think it's great having a capsule wardrobe full of staples like this.
Perfect staples! My Little Black Dress is my go to!
Yes yes and yes!! Love it!! These are definitely staples for every lady! Thanks for sharing I pinned as well!
I agree. It's taken me some time but I have invested in these peices I do need a new trench coat though and black flats but this is spot on!
Great list. I just got a good trench coat so I am officially covered on all the must haves.
I couldn't agree with your choices more! These are things that never go out of style and look good on whoever wears it. Great choices!
I agree! You have great taste! I love all of those items and am already playing with ideas how to personalize them haha!
Pearls are on my must have list… I still don't own a set – heck, I think I'd settle for a nice looking fake set!
A blazer just seems to pull everything together nicely. Great recommendations you have here.
I started investing in Tory Burch flats since I realized that's all I wear. It makes sense instead of throwing $100 at cheaper flats.
That trench and those black flats are adorable – I'd love to have them in my closet!
I love those classic black flats! I used to wear flats only when I worked in retail but now I work with kids so I wear tennis shoes all day every day and I miss cute shoes!
My first crawfish boil. Safe to say, thoroughly enjoyed every little bit.
It's Friday, hooray! Time to jump off that work week merry go round and go enjoy some weekend.
Reminder for this week: take some time for myself. It's either that or I go crazy... one or the other.
Oh hey there Spring, didn't see you there!

What San Diego MBAs Offer the Best Return on Investment?
Last Updated Apr 17, 2018 by Kelly Vo
Attending a Master of Business Administration program in San Diego sounds like a great idea. There's great weather year round, beautiful beaches, and you get to enjoy the laid-back California attitude. But do you get a good return on your investment (ROI) going to school in San Diego?
The ROI of your MBA program can be difficult to determine considering the many factors that come into play. Not only do you need to compare the cost of tuition and expected salary upon graduation from each school, but you also have to take into account the cost of living where you go to school and your salary change pre- to post-MBA.
In this article, we're going to take a look at the best San Diego MBA programs to get the highest return on your investment.
MBA students who chose to attend the Fowler College of Business Administration at SDSU can expect affordable tuition and decent job prospects. These MBA graduates have one of the best returns on their investments in San Diego.
Over 70 percent of the most recent Fowler MBA class had a job within three months of graduation, and that percentage increased to 82.94 percent at six months post graduation. MBA students who were employed found jobs at GEICO, EY, PepsiCo, HSBC Group, Qualcomm, and more.
Tuition at Fowler is very affordable. In fact, full-time Master of Business Administration students who are California residents can expect to pay just $29,938 over the course of their degree—$7,223 a semester. Non-California residents can expect to pay a little more, approximately $47,758 over two years.
The mean starting salary for MBA graduates at Fowler is $61,467.
The salary-to-debt ratio for Fowler MBA graduates who are residents of California is .487, which means that Fowler MBAs can expect to pay off their debt in just the first year. For non-California residents, the ratio is .777, which is still less than a year to pay off the debt.
Choosing to attend the University of San Diego School of Business Administration is a fairly reliable choice for return on investment. 83 percent of MBA graduates can expect to be employed three months post graduation at top companies including Amazon, Deloitte, Intel, Bank of America, eBay, Boston Consulting Group, and 21st Century Fox. But what does it look like when you compare tuition to expected salary?
Tuition is a bit pricey compared to the other San Diego business schools. For an MBA student, it costs $1,475 per unit with 56 units required. That equals around $82,600 for tuition over two years. In addition, MBA students can expect $1,153.50 a semester for health insurance coverage with approximately $200 in additional fees. Total, over the two years, MBA students can expect to pay $87,614 for tuition and fees.
Upon graduation, MBA students at USD can expect an average starting salary of $72,363 with a range of $50,000 – $100,000.
The salary-to-debt ratio for a USD MBA graduate is 1.21, indicating that it would take you only 1.2 years to earn back what you paid for the program if every dime of your salary went to paying off your tuition.
The Rady School of Management is one of the more expensive Master of Business Administration programs in San Diego, at the same time it has some of the best job prospects. Three months post-graduation, 82 percent of Rady MBA graduates accepted employment, and 10 percent started their own business for a total employment rate of 92 percent. Those individuals accepted jobs at such companies as IBM, Boeing, Cisco Systems, Amazon, Tesla Motors, Ernst & Young, Gartner, and Deloitte.
Tuition for full-time MBA students who are also California residents is $48,961 a year—$97,922 total. For non-residents, tuition costs $55,546 a year or $111,092 total. Other non-tuition fees including campus fees and health insurance can cost an additional $4,000 a year or $8,000 over the course of the program.
Rady MBA graduates, on average, earn $84,335 as a starting salary ($87,500 median).
The salary-to-debt ratio for the Rady School Master of Business Administration program is 1.255 for California residents and 1.41 for non-California residents.
Other San Diego MBA Programs
As for the three other Master of Business Administration programs available in San Diego, not much information is provided.
Fermanian School of Business – Point Loma Nazarene University: The cost of tuition is $825 a unit for 42 units, for a total cost of $34,650 for twelve months. So, as long as you earn more post-MBA than $40,000 it's a good investment, though little post-MBA graduation employment information is available.
California International Business University (CIBU): CIBU costs approximately $26,000 to earn a full-time MBA. No employment information is provided.
California School of Management & Leadership – Alliant University: An MBA at Alliant costs $698 per unit for a total of 36 to 42 units—$25,128 to $29,316 total. No employment information is provided.

At Newtown High School, Adam Lanza had trouble relating to fellow students and teachers, but that was only part of his problem. He seemed not to feel physical or psychological pain in the same way as classmates.
He recalled meeting with school guidance counselors, administrators and with the boy's mother, Nancy Lanza, to understand his problems and find ways to ensure his safety. But there were other crises only a mother could solve.
"He would have an episode, and she'd have to return or come to the high school and deal with it," Novia said, describing how the young man would sometimes withdraw completely "from whatever he was supposed to be doing," whether it was sitting in class or reading a book.
A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the unfolding investigation, said Lanza had been diagnosed with Asperger's, a milder form of autism. People with the disorder tend to function poorly socially but can be highly intelligent.
If he did have Asperger's, his lack of sensation could be related to the disorder, said psychologist Elizabeth Laugeson, an assistant clinical professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. People with Asperger's can be overly sensitive to things like touch, noise and pain, or sometimes under-sensitive, she said.
"You had yourself a very scared young boy, who was very nervous around people he could trust or he refused to speak with," Novia said.
Olivia DeVivo, a student at the University of Connecticut, was in Adam Lanza's 10th grade English class.
"He was very different and very shy and didn't make an effort to interact with anybody," she said.
Lanza's family was struggling to make sense of what happened and "trying to find whatever answers we can," his father, Peter Lanza, said in a statement late Saturday that also expressed sympathy for the victims' families.
Associated Press writers Michael Melia and Jim Fitzgerald in Newtown, Conn., Denise Lavoie in Stamford, Conn., and Stephanie Nano in New York contributed to this report.

Kenney pleads for UCP members 'not to compare him to the Almighty, but to the alternative'
Premier Jason Kenney tried to make his problem of political survival the problem of all Alberta conservatives on Saturday, but experts say that's not the reality.
The United Conservative Party's special general meeting – whose sole purpose is to review Kenney's leadership – met on Saturday morning.
In his address to party members, Kenney offered two paths: division or unity. The first, he said, would erode the UCP and lead the opposition NDP to form a government after next year's provincial election.
"I ask you not to compare me to the Almighty, but to the alternative," he said, referring to NDP Leader Rachel Notley.
Kenney enters the weekend an unpopular figure, primarily due to frustrations surrounding decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic and his leadership style. Recent polls from the Angus Reid Institute suggest that the Premier of Alberta has only one 30% approval note, and a upper disapproval than the NDP.
Brian Jean, UCP MP for Fort McMurray-Lac la Biche, was candid about taking over the party. Doug Schweitzer, the current Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation, and Danielle Smith, UCP nomination candidate for the constituency of Livingstone-Macleod, have also expressed their desire to run for the party leadership.

But on Saturday, Kenney tried to convince party members that he was the one who could keep the party together, lead it to prosperity and keep "the socialists" out of power.
The Prime Minister has largely defended the decisions made during the pandemic, expressing only a few regrets. He also praised its achievements, such as balancing the provincial budget this year.
Kenney ended his speech by saying that unifying the Conservatives in Alberta takes "constant effort," and that it is much easier to criticize than to lead during historic crises.
Conservative alternatives exist
Lori Williams, an associate professor of political studies at Mount Royal University, said Kenney's speech – in which he suggested the NDP and the federal Liberal government were "a big threat" – went as planned .
She noted, however, that Kenney's claim to be the only option available to the Tories is short-sighted, as polls suggest Brian Jean would fare better against Notley in an election.
"Today's speech tried to persuade Albertans to look forward, not backward, and that he is the key to the future, unlike anyone else," said Williams.
"But that alternative isn't necessarily Rachel Notley. It could well be Brian Jean. That could be the key to UCP's success, and he could be a more attractive alternative to UCP."

Lisa Young, a political science professor at the University of Calgary, agrees. But Young also noticed that the Prime Minister spent a lot of time reciting his resume, for example as a federal cabinet minister.
"Those qualifications would certainly be things we would expect to hear if he ran for leadership of the party, but not necessarily to retain leadership," Young said.
In a statement to CBC News, Jean accused Kenney of splitting the party and said Kenney's speech resorted to fear, leaving the choice between "more of the same" or the NDP.
The PCU should be more than one person, Jean said in an emailed statement.
Respect the results
Some have criticized the mail-in voting system that will be used to vote on Kenney's leadership ahead of the review.
Ballots will be mailed to party members. They are expected at 5 p.m. on May 11, then the results will be revealed on May 18.
Before introducing the Prime Minister on stage on Saturday, Cynthia Moore, president of the UCP, stressed that the mail-in system is "the most democratic way to organize this vote".
"There are some who, if they don't get the desired result, will say it's a flawed process," Moore said. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
The RCMP is still investigating allegations of fraud and identity theft related to the 2017 vote.
Kenney said on Saturday he would respect the results of the vote – and he expects others to do the same.
"If the members decide they want to have a leadership election, I will step down," he said.
"I believe that all of our members will expect every member of our caucus and team to equally respect the members' decision democratically expressed in this review vote."
For Young, it was Kenney speaking directly to potential competitors, especially Brian Jean.
"If I win, I expect you to be a loyal, low-key member of my caucus. Otherwise, you're out," she said.
"He's drawn his line in the sand now."

Taiwan FDA considers use of 2'-FL fermented from new GM source for infant medical foods
By Tingmin Koe

Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering the use of 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) fermented from two new microbial strains in all infant and toddler food products, including Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMPs).
The two strains of interest are GM Escherichia coli K-12 DH1 MDO MAP1001d and Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) #1540, which are also the only two strains that are approved to ferment 2'-FL in Taiwan at present.
At the moment, 2'-FL fermented using these two strains cannot be used in FSMPs for infants.
However, it could be used in infant formula foods, complementary foods for toddlers, and dairy powder or related products specially designed for children below seven years old.
The Taiwan FDA announced a public consultation to consider the use of 2'-FL fermented via these two strains in all infant and toddler food on September 20.
The intention is to "effectively and reasonably regulate [the use of] non-traditional food ingredients, while considering special nutrition needs at the same time," the regulator said.
It added that the safety of 2'-FL fermented from these GM sources have been considered, in particular, the bacteria is considered non-pathogenic and is unlikely to survive in host tissues or to cause disease.
The public consultation, which starts from September 21, will end in 60 days.
Use of 2'-FL
The development in Taiwan follows a string of updates regarding 2'-FL from China and New Zealand earlier this year.
The ingredient 2'-FL is the most abundant oligosaccharides in human breast milk and is often used as a prebiotic or human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) in infant formula milk.
In May, we reported how China's National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA) is gathering public feedback on the use of 2'-FL in infant formula and foods for toddlers and young children.
In January, we reported Food Standard Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) on its plans to use 2'-FL fermented using the GM strain E. coli BL21 in infant formula. It has also conducted a public consultation on this issue.
Prior to that, the FSANZ has allowed the use of 2'-FL fermented from GM E. coli K12 SCR6 in infant formula and supplementary foods for young children since December 2019.
In terms of industry updates, Danish firm Chr. Hansen has recently been approved to supply HMOs to new markets, including Israel.
The firm has ramped up its HMO development after acquiring Jennewein Biotechnologie in 2020.

'io sono l'amore', after Luca Guadagnino, is an extract from Bella Li's Argosy, available now from Vagabond Press. Bella speaks with Peril editor, Mindy Gill, about her new collection.
M: Argosy is a beautiful coming together of poetry, visual art, history, and cartography, emergent from the journals of La Pérouse, and informed by collage novels of Max Ernst. The work is of such historical scope, yet always turns back onto this sense of ephemerality, of searching for something that is invisible. What is it that draws you to these themes—that made your initially small project on La Pérouse evolve into a full-length collection?
B: There's something about the age of discovery, and explorers in general, that I find fascinating. How a sane person could think it's a great idea to sail off into uncharted territory is beyond me. But in the act of writing, I do feel a kind of affinity—the pull towards the gravity of the unknown, the lure of hidden objects. The search for the invisible was where I began: I had intended to write a suite of poems about the French explorer La Pérouse, who disappeared off the east coast of Australia in 1788, after three years at sea. But early in the project I was side-tracked by the atlases connected to the expedition.
The illustrations in these atlases are startling and beautiful. To translate them into a different medium would be to lose something in the order of the inexplicable, so instead of writing poems I made collages. These grew beyond the scope of my initial project, and became the substance of the first part of the book, 'Pérouse, ou, Une semaine de disparitions'. The second part, 'The Hundred Headless Woman', evolved from longer sequences of poems I was writing—centred on women in history, literature and film—and acts in many ways as a counterweight.
What I wanted to convey in Argosy, beyond the madness of embarking on expeditions of discovery, beyond the exigencies of specific people in specific times, was a general atmosphere of strangeness. Because everything, when you look closely, is strange: people, history, language—language most of all. The more I think about poetry as a genre, the more I see it as a space for estrangement: where language—that which ostensibly provides a common ground on which to stand—can be most thoroughly interrogated.
M: The first section, 'Pérouse, ou, Une semaine de disparitions', made me think to poems in Rimbaud's 'Illuminations'—each self-contained, yet able to be read as a spring board to the next. The dreamlike language, too, evokes a similar sense of the surreal, though a very crystalline surreal. Did you find that the subject of disappearances led naturally to this writing style?
B: Disappearance, a particular species of the unknown, is a passing from the recorded and catalogued into the unnamed and unremarked, by a path that is unclear. The word itself invites openness, a suspension and deferral of explanations; it can evoke contradictory or incongruous alternatives without resolving them one way or another. It's this openness and spaciousness that I find most compelling, not only in the poetry of Rimbaud, but in any work of art.
There is, of course, a political dimension to the material on which 'Pérouse' is based—in the history of colonial appropriation, the gathering of knowledge often precedes and informs conquest, and the dissemination of this knowledge amounts to an act of erasure. Disappearance creates a palpable gap in the known, one that draws attention not only to the disappeared (in this case, it is the explorer who vanishes), but also to the fact that knowledge is always contingent and never absolute.
To write with an awareness, and in the spirit, of disappearance is to recognise that the persistence of gaps is necessary. The seeking of discontinuities and ambiguities, not only in accounts of the past and present, but in language itself, and their proliferation—the multiplication of possibilities and the refusal of smooth transitions and definitive statements—are uses to which poetry is particularly well suited.
M: Would you be able to talk a bit on the images you created for this book? Across your collage work and photography there is always a sense of the unknown, and a carefully constructed uncanny. There is also a distinct playfulness in the 'par avion' and 'dans le sang' sections. Did you anticipate the visual art playing a part in such capacity from the beginning?
B: Argosy began with the 'Pérouse' collages and the photographs in 'La ténébreuse', which were shot during a period when I'd stopped reading and writing poetry altogether. Working in a different medium meant a lot of time feeling my way through the dark, stumbling and making mistakes. But while the material was different, the methodology of collage and recombination was largely the same: in my poems, which are generally inclined towards the visual, I am often appropriating other titles and phrases and themes, disassembling and reassembling.
The book draws on surrealist conventions in visual art, where a sense of the uncanny, as well as playfulness, are central, and whimsy and terror are often conveyed simultaneously. I also wanted to reference and evoke, through the lexicon of images, the genres of horror and adventure—the work of Poe and Lovecraft, Verne and Stevenson—in which the monstrous always borders on, and to some extent draws its power from, the comic—as well as the aesthetics of comics and pulp magazines. Because Argosy, for me, combines all of these influences and traditions.
On a structural level, the collage novels of Max Ernst were crucial in providing frames within which disparate elements, both visual and textual, could come into sharper focus and cohere. This coherence was particularly important: reading is an encounter with the world of a book—an encounter that occurs on its terms, not yours—but it is the task of the author to convince you of this reality. Argosy is first and foremost an attempt to create a world, subject to its own laws, and distinct and strange in its own way.

TO SAY THAT HASN'T BEEN a great week around the world would be an understatement, with the horrific shooting at two mosques in New Zealand by an Australian terrorist last Friday afternoon, the on-going Brexit debacle and other unhappy news events. There were two bright lights in all this darkness, however. The first being Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old Swedish climate activist with Asperger's, who inspired 1.5 million people around the world to strike for climate change. And Will Connolly, (otherwise known as Egg Boy) a 17 year old from Victoria who smashed an egg on the head of right-wing senator Fraser Anning at the Conservative National Party meeting in Melbourne this past Saturday. (The senator had essentially blamed Muslim immigration for the Christchurch terror attack.) Here's to following their examples and always remembering to walk in the light.
This week's links include Broderie Anglaise and Baroque Pearls and real-life fairytales from the mountains of China; a Tree Hotel in Northern Sweden, about Workism and much, much more.

Q: Add TMS layer to OpenLayers I have found some examples but haven't managed yet to adapt them to my needs...
I have an image that is served as TMS (tiles already statically rendered): http://humadat.alwaysdata.net/tms/khorog/tiles
What would be the right syntax to display it in OpenLayers?
On this example: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/tms.html It looks quite different, as if the tiles are dynamically rendered by a python script...
I tried something like this
layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.TMS( "TMS",
    "http://humadat.alwaysdata.net/tms/khorog/", {layername: 'tiles', type:'jpg'}
);

But no success so far

A: What you serve is not a TMS service acording to Openlayers specification. They expect a service which can be questioned for tiles similar to WMS.
Unfortunately, your tiles follw the OGC naming convention, and not OSM-like. See my answer here to number the tiles correctly:
GDAL2Tiles: MapTiles from BSB/KAP are Switched
EDIT
I finally managed to load the data into QGIS using the TileLayer Plugin. That allows to switch the layer numbering between OGC and OSM.
This is my entry in the config file:
khorog  khorog  http://humadat.alwaysdata.net/tms/khorog/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg  0   12  16  -180    -85.0   180.0   85.0

Note that tabs have to be used as delimiters. And this is the result:

with OSM in the background and your tiles transparently overlayed (which Openlayers plugin will do not either).

Last Edit
I finally got success with your Maptiler tiles by using the Openlayers page that was created by Maptiler. They hacked the getURL to respect the inverse numbering:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
        "

            <title>khorog</title>

Probation/parole supervision plays the most important role in the community-based treatment for offenders in Japan.It is designed to help probationer/parolees improve and rehabilitate themselves through instruction and control and through guidance and assistance.Instruction and control are aimed at ensuring their compliance with their probation/parole conditions imposed,while guidance and assistance are provided based on the principle of self-help.Probation/parole supervision facilitates offenders'reintegration into society,reduces the possibility of their repeating offenses,and thereby contributes to increasing public safety.
Instruction and control are given to an adult parolee mainly by(1)constantly supervising his/her conduct while keeping in contact with him/her and(2)giving him/her appropriate instructions to ensure his/her compliance with his/her parole conditions.On the other hand,guidance and assistance are offered mostly by(1)giving him/her means of education and training,(2)providing him/her with access to medical care and recreation,(3)assisting him/her in obtaining accommodation,(4)giving him/her career guidance and job-hunting assistance,(5)improving and adjusting the environment,(6)helping him/her return to places most suitable for his/her rehabilitation,and(7)providing him/her with living guidance necessary for his/her adjustment to social life.In both of control and assistance,supervision is exercised over each parolee in the most suitable manner and to necessary and appropriate extent.For an adult probationer,supervision is carried out in a similar manner.
Probation/parole supervision is conducted through collaboration between the government and the private sector in Japan.Currently,about1,000probation officers(including those who engage in crime prevention activities other than supervision),who are government employees,cooperate with about50,000volunteer probation officers,who are volunteers in local communities.Each probation officer is comprehensively in charge of a certain area.If an offender living in that area is placed on probation/parole,the officer makes an introductory meeting with him/her,identifies his/her problems and devises his/her appropriate treatment plan.Next is to choose a volunteer probation officer most suitable for the offender and ask the volunteer officer to take charge of the case.If the volunteer officer agrees to take charge of it,he or she will meet the offender on a regular basis to give instruction and assistance in accordance with the treatment plan.If the case requires special care,the probation officer may take direct charge or otherwise become more intensively involved in the case's supervision.In sum,the Japanese probation/parole system is designed to bring about synergistic effects through collaboration between probation officers as experts and volunteer probation officers as local residents and citizens.Such synergy would not occur if either probation officers or volunteer probation officers worked alone.
In the case of any parolee or probationer who stays in a halfway house,the probation officer in charge of the house follows the introductory procedure and work with staff of the house who often doubles as a volunteer probation officer in giving instruction and assistance to the parolee or probationer.
Mr.A works as a probation officer at a probation office in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area.He is in charge of four cities and currently works on about200probation/parole cases and about100environmental adjustment cases.A probation officer like him is sometimes called an"area officer."He cooperates with about70volunteer probation officers living in the area which Mr.A takes charge of.
A typical day of Mr.A goes like this.He arrives at the office in the morning and picks up the phone that starts ringing as soon as he arrives.The call is from a volunteer probation officer who wants to consult with him on the treatment of a probationer.After hanging up the phone,he receives several more calls from other volunteer officers.When he finishes the last telephone conversation,he makes in interview with a parolee who has been released from a prison this morning coming into the office with his guarantor.Mr.A talks with the parolee about his regret over the crime,his present feelings,and his future life plan.Mr.A explains to him the conditions applied during his parole period and other matters that need to be noted.
In the afternoon,Mr.A has two introductory meetings scheduled with two juveniles newly placed under probation.In the first meeting,he talks with the juvenile and his parent about the details of his offense,the cause thereof,his past living circumstances,relationships with his family and friends,and his state of mind,and then explains to him about the supervision to be exercised over him and gives him necessary instruction and assistance.After the meeting,Mr.A chooses an appropriate volunteer officer and asks the officer to take charge of the juvenile.The second meeting with the other juvenile takes longer time than the first one because his offense and family background are more complicated.After the second meeting,Mr.A returns to his desk to find messages of some telephone call from relevant organizations,volunteer probation officers,and people under his supervision.While returning these calls,Mr.A sees a volunteer officer coming into the office with a probationer who has be en causing many problems recently.Mr.A asks them to wait for a while before he gets ready for a meeting with them.In the meeting with them,he carefully listens to their explanation of the probationer's current situation and gives him some instructions and guidance on his attitude and behavior.
After all these meetings,Mr.A has to do paperwork as usual.He prepares documents including case investigation reports,treatment plans,meeting reports,memos to volunteer officers,while remembering the people he met today such as probationers and parolees,guarantors,and guardians.Since treatment plans are very important in carrying out supervision,Mr.A takes special care in preparing those plans.
The next morning,he is scheduled to go to a community center in the area he is in charge and to give a lecture to volunteer officers on interviewing technique.He plans to spend the afternoon in the center as a temporarily-stationed officer and to have meetings with a few of probationers/parolees and also with a guarantor in an environmental adjustment case.After those meetings,he is going to make a home visit to a probationer who he takes direct charge of in order to talk with him and his parents while checking their living realities.


Then dress you up and rush you to the van.
Come back once and call me 'Mama'!!
:( Please remember those little angels in your prayers!!
Very well said Bushra. Our deepest sympathies with all the parents who lost their children in this barbaric tragedy.
I am saddened by the fact that in-spite of getting support from India in this matter Pakistan still released the mastermind of Mumbai attack. I am sorry to note that state that support terrorism suffer like this. Every time I think of those innocent children I shudder in fear and think - RIP Humanity.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker – mortgage broker vs. bank manager: which is best?
The question that has been pondered by many in the past, to use a mortgage broker or visit my bank? Over 50% of borrowers in Australia utilise the services of mortgage brokers, this number is set to increase significantly as the lending market changes with regulations on investment properties becoming tighter. Finance experts warn consumers they may be missing out on significant benefits when it comes to heading straight to their bank to apply for a home loan.
One of the advantages of using a mortgage broker over a bank is the number of options that they can provide. A mortgage broker will have access to 20+ banks with hundreds of different product offerings as compared with visiting a banker who has limited access to home loan offerings.
Brokers are committed to their clients in the long term, especially for the fact that a large majority are running their own businesses, and have many years of industry experience. As for banks, they move staff around constantly and rewards good performers with promotions.
When dealing directly with the bank, most staff are trained up for basic home loan scenarios. Mortgage brokers have a broad skill set, they are happy to roll up their sleeves and do the hard yards. Some brokers even specialise in specific areas such as Commercial Lending, Self Managed Super Lending, Investment Lending, etc.
Following up the progress of your loan application is time consuming and frustrating. A good mortgage broker will have a system for chasing you up, keeping you informed and saving you time.
Your mortgage broker is the perfect personal banker. They know exactly what needs to be done, how and when. They make sure it happens. They're in it for the long haul, especially when they are running a business.
Whether you are looking to buy your first home, move home, refinance, or invest in property, a mortgage broker can help. Access loans from all the major lenders, get help with paperwork – plus there is no charge for this service. To find out how Hunter Galloway can help you call Nathan Vecchio on 0410 000 689.

REVIEW: The Bridges of Madison County, Menier Chocolate Factory
AuthorEmma ClarendonPosted on July 24, 2019 CategoriesMusicals, Reviews, TheatreTagsEdward Baker-Duly, Emma Clarendon, Georgia Brown, Jason Robert Brown, Jenna Russell, Menier Chocolate Factory, Trevor Nunn
Jenna Russell's stunning performance combined with Trevor Nunn's delicately understated production captures the soul of the story perfectly.
Credit: Johan Persson
Quiet and understated, this is a musical and story that subtly makes an impact on you with its gentle examination of what it is like to not have your life go quite the way you planned through this wonderfully heart wrenching love story.
Based on Robert James Waller's novel which was later transformed into the 1995 film starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, the musical follows what happens when housewife Francesca meets photographer Robert Kincaid. While initially there is friendship, it soon develops into a romantic and brief affair that has both of them questioning their lives up until this point.
Featuring music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, there are many musical highlights, filled with romance and emotion that are captured beautifully in Trevor Nunn's simplistically styled and intimately staged production. From Jenna Russell's gorgeously heartfelt rendition of 'To Build a Home' through to Edward Baker-Duly's tear-jerking rendition of 'It All Fades Away', Jason Robert Brown's music and lyrics are all seamlessly placed within the show, capturing all of the key moments wonderfully.
Trevor Nunn's production gives a true sense of intimacy of the relationship between Francesca and Robert that draws the audience into their brief affair by ensuring that everything is stripped back with no distractions. Particularly impressive was Jon Bausor's set design that transformed with great ease and style, working alongside Tal Rosner's gorgeous video design that brings Iowa effectively to life. But it has to be said that there are moments in which linger slightly too long and loses meaning, particularly when a character is reflecting on a moment in their life – yet it is always stylishly presented, such as when Francesca thinks of her sister Chiara.
Throughout every high and low, there is not only a romantic wistfulness to the story that is being told but also a sense that many of the characters regret lost opportunities reflected not only through the music but also through Marsha Norman's book. It is a tender portrait of a brief affair that is never sordid or about lust but two characters who found something in each other that they didn't know they were missing. This is reflected particularly during the heartbreaking final scenes that leave feelings of grief and regret hanging in air.
However, it would be fair to say that in some respects the book is perhaps slightly flimsy and lacking in genuine passion, but there is an aching tenderness that is pleasing. At around three hours and given the slightness of the plot, it would be fair that it could use some editing in places to keep it sharp.
But what performances. Jenna Russell is exquisite as Francesca, capturing her loneliness and isolation she feels around her family – she loves them but doesn't have a life of her own as seen when her family return from the state fair. To see her character blossom under the attentions of Robert Kincaid in the photography scene is particularly wonderful. She has great grace and poise throughout out in terms of her character and vocals. Edward Baker-Duly as Robert offers a charismatic performance that is particularly engaging during his performances of 'Temporarily Lost' and 'It All Fades Away' . Elsewhere, there is great support from Gillian Kirkpatrick as the hilariously nosy Marge and Dale Rapley as the short tempered but well intentioned Budd.
A stunningly simple but heartfelt and engaging production that keeps you mesmerised from start to finish.
By Emma Clarendon
The Bridges of Madison County will continue to play at the Menier Chocolate Factory until the 14th September.

Artist Dezauche/de l´Isle,
J. A. Dezauche was the successor to Guillaume De L'Isle and Philipe Buache. Guillaume De L´isle (1626- 1757) Paris, was a French cartographer known for his popular and accurate maps of Europe and the newly explored Americas and Africa. De L´isle was admitted into the French Académie Royale des Sciences, an institution financed by the French state. After that date, he signed his maps with the title of "Géographe de l'Académie". Five years later, he moved to the Quai de l'Horloge in Paris, a true publishing hub where his business prospered. De L´isle's ascension through the ranks culminated in 1718 when he received the title of Premier Géographe du Roi. His new office consisted in teaching geography to the Dauphin, King Louis XIV's son, a task for which he received a salary. De L´sle's reputation as a man of science probably helped .This supports the claim of the historian Mary Sponberg Pedley, who says "once authority was established, a geographer's name might retain enough value to support two or three generations of mapmakers". In De L´isle's case, it could be said that his accomplishments surpassed his father's. Up to that point, he had drawn maps not only of European countries, such as Italy, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, and regions such as the Duchy of Burgundy, but he had also contributed to the empire's claims to recently explored continents of Africa and the Americas. Like many cartographers of these days, De L´isle did not travel with the explorers and elaborated the maps mostly in his office. The quality of his maps depended on a solid network that would provide him first-hand information. Given the family's reputation and his own, De L´isle had access to fairly recent accounts of travellers who were coming back from the New World, which gave him an advantage over his competitors. Being a member of the Académie, he was also aware of recent discoveries, especially in astronomy and measurement. When he could not confirm the accuracy of his source, he would indicate it clearly on his maps. For instance, his Carte de la Louisiane shows a river that the baron of Lahontan claimed he discovered, but no one else could validate it, so Delisle warned the viewer that its actual existence was in doubt. De L´isle 's search for exactitude and intellectual honesty entangled him in a legal dispute in 1700 with Jean-Baptiste Nolin, a fellow cartographer. Noticing Nolin had used details that were considered original from his Map of the World, De L´isle dragged Nolin in court to prove his plagiarism. In the end, Delisle managed to convince the jury of scientists that Nolin only knew the old methods of cartography and therefore that he had stolen the information from his manuscript. Nolin's maps were confiscated and he was forced to pay the court costs.The scientificity of the work produced by the De L´isle family contrasted with the workshop of Sanson. While Sanson knowingly published outdated facts and mistakes, De L´isle strived to present up-to-date knowledge.

On Wednesday, the Horticultural Society held their third and last Exhibition for the season, at the Gardens at Chiswick. Several circumstances combined to render this, by many degrees, the most brilliant fete of the season. The weather on the two previous Exhibition days was unfavourable: they were "wet Saturdays "—by no means rare in the Society's calendar; one would have thought them dedicated to Jupiter Pluvius. Wednesday was, however, a glorious day for any al fresco fete: the sun shone throughout the morning; in short, it was a day of undimmed splendour. Again, 'this third and last fete had a goodly balance of company from the two "wet Saturdays," who preferred reserving their tickets (good "for either of the three meetings"), to chancing it between the showers. Added to this, was the attraction of the grounds of Chiswick House being thrown open, as on the last day of exhibition in former years, by the Society's noble and liberal neighbour, the Duke of Devonshire. We have heard it stated that nearly 14,000 tickets were disposed of; and it was computed that 12,000 persons were, at one period of the day, present in the Gardens. The exhibition of fruit and flowers, although the specimens were not very numerous, was an excellent one. The orchids were numerous, and so, of course, were the heaths. There were brilliant groups of pelargoniums, roses, and geraniums; and among the cut flowers, carnations, pinks, and picotees attracted the largest groups of admiring spectators. Of the fruits the finest and most numerous were the pines, some of which were unusually large and well shaped; the collection of other fruits was neither so extensive nor varied as at former exhibitions. The details of the fete were admirably managed. The tents were crowded during the greater part of the day, yet there was no confusion or inconvenience; and, although the demand for refreshments sometimes exceeded the power of immediate supply, the exercise of a little patience on the part of the applicants was all that was found requisite. There were four military bands in attendance—the Coldstream, the Grenadiers, the Horse Guards, and the Life Guards, which were stationed. in various parts of the grounds, and played, during the day, several favourite overtures and airs. At half-past three they all assembled in the Duke of Devonshire's grounds in front of the villa—his Grace having kindly thrown open his splendid gardens and conservatories to the visitors here they performed Vincent Wallace's new National Anthem, and the grand march in the "Midsummer Night's Dream;" and the effect of these exquisite and finely-contrasted pieces, as interpreted by nearly two hundred of our leading musicians, was extremely fine, and elicited general marks of approval from the auditory. The scene here was extremely picturesque and animated. Groups of elegantly attired ladies were either seated, or promenaded in the shrubberies; while some of the juveniles were afforded the enjoyment of swinging in the hammock and other swings fixed on the lawn. Altogether this was one of the most brilliant horticultural fetes that has been given for some years. The company included nearly all the rank and fashion of the metropolis, evidently glad to escape from the Babel of bricks and mortar. We append a pair of pictures from this great Chiswick Meeting, from Daguerreotypes, ably executed by Mr. W. E. Kilburn, 234, Regent-street. In the first scene we have three of the bands performing in the Gardens [180K], near the Rhododendron Circle; and in the second picture [see top] we have the Great Conservatory, and a small portion of the chief Tent.
