Written by Lokey Dark Souls June 28, 2021 January 4, 2022
Giant Kingdom
Though identified by the same term, the giants of the Dark Souls II are unlikely to bear any relation to the giants of the original Dark Souls. Despite sharing a vaguely humanoid shape, New World giants are more top heavy, with gaping holes for faces. Moreover, they are native to another continent across the sea to the far north, making evolution from Anor Londo slaves stranded on Drangleic doubtful. They probably aren't even part of the animal kingdom. As seen in the Forest of Fallen Giants, those that have "perished" (朽ちた) turn into trees. Rather than proper death, they "sleep" as the soul revitalizes the shriveling body in this new form, eventually producing seeds whose resemblance indicates their eventual growth into new progeny. By all indications, these giants are simply a mobile species of plant like those seen in Darkroot Garden. Their method of reproduction might be woefully inefficient considering the eons since these giants dendrofied, but their resulting size and strength is unquestionable.
Mass of something that is harvested from a tree of a giant. Makes enemies react to invaders.
A perished giant changed its form to a giant tree. Death is not the end and all living things are inside a cycle of rebirth.
If so, where in the world do those that have come outside that cycle go?
With rock-like skin, these giants can take a bruising and are fairly resistant to magic and flame. In fact, they can store fire, poison, and presumably a variety of other substances down their head cavities without any obvious harm to themselves, freely pulling those substance back out to hurl at enemies when needed. At the same time, their muck-like blood betrays the underlying biology to that stony exterior, which is likely why they are just as resistant to lightning. What such plant physiology permits is unlike anything seen in bipedal animals, including giants of the Old World. The only commonality is the physical power accompanying the body mass, the New World giants binding massive rocks to tree trunks in order to create their ranking soldiers' weapons. Another is arguably their intelligence.
As Drummond notes, the giant are no simple barbarians despite what their primitive tools and clothing might suggest. They had a highly organized society, led by a King whom they crowned the same as the animals' monarchs. It is possible that they merely adopted these peculiarities from humans, since the Varangian set and bow descriptions indicate the possibility of those barbarians sailing down from the North to raid Drangleic's coasts. But even if they didn't independently invent the concept, their use of royal hierarchy betrays their higher thinking. We might not see any of them exchange words like the Rat King, but theirs was a people no less organized. Rather, speech might not have even been their primary means to communicate. Their gaping holes for heads allow little more than moans and wails. Killing their King meanwhile nets us the Giant's Kinship, or "Giant Resonance" (巨人の共鳴) to be more accurate. With this swirling vortex of power in our possession, we can influence the Throne of Want's giant golems, indicating that the race communicates hierarchically without need for sound.
Helmet of a barbarian who devastated the coastal waters once.
The sea stretches to the north of Drangleig. It is said that at the end of it is an unknown continent where those that aren't human nest.
Bow made for sailors who go out to the open sea. Flight range is long so that beasts of the sea don't approach their ships.
The so-called kinship holds deeper implications, of course. For one, the resonance is apparently exclusive to the Giant Lord and therefore something developed uniquely within him, much like how ant queens develop the faculties necessary for their role in the colony. Indeed, Drummond points out the king's particularly enormous size among them, and his body is far leaner in shape compared to his subjects. In all likelihood, hierarchy is ingrained into their very biology. To be specific, this is likely a byproduct of their souls. While the Giant Lord himself possesses a gargantuan soul identical to notable human kings, the one each of his subjects carry looks more akin to the average boss soul, only with an additional black core that brings their head holes to mind. The giants are alien right to their very core, and their "resonance" with the King is probably stemming from the same source. As the King cultivates an especially powerful giant's soul, said soul generates a magical resonance he can employ like a pheromonal organ, similar to how the Ancient Dragon conjures the Ashen Mist Heart.
As to how this magic "organ" operates, it seems to send signals directly to the other giants' souls, hence why we can control artificial constructs bearing only those souls; "resonance" does apply to hearts — in other words, souls — as much as sounds, after all. The giant who becomes King can essentially convey his will to any fellow giant within his vicinity instantly, which implies that the underpinnings for the magic rely on an existing soul-to-soul network. Indeed, seeds of the giant-trees make enemies react to invaders the same as the player. Such phantoms are normally only visible to the person whose world they intrude upon or parties sharing the owner's perception of the timespace, namely other phantoms — they entangle themselves within the reality in relation to the individual soul. However, even if small and juvenile, the power of a giant can integrate the invaders into the perceptions of other local souls compromising the larger world. This suggests that the giants had evolved the soul networking required for the magic to resonate between souls of the same kind.
Furthermore, the effect on black phantoms in particular potentially hints to a connection with the Dark. Indeed, while the soul shows nary a sign of the Abyss, we can still derive the Repel hex from the Giant Lord's essence. This dark art distorts local space so as to keep any outside forces from affecting it, curious considering how other giant souls all have a small black mass that has somehow not been broken up and diffused within it. Or maybe the same is true for the king. Close inspection of the menu graphic for the Giant's Kinship reveals that the purple magic swirls around a foggy black mass much like the giant soul cores. Therefore, perhaps it is not that the Giant Lord's soul lacks his brethren's unique quality but that we extract it out immediately after obtaining it. Put another way, perhaps the kinship is just a dark soul fragment that had been nestled in the king's soul — using its power to prevent itself from being completely subsumed. In that case, the soul network is built on the larger soul specifically adapting to this humanity lodged at its core, "learning" to incorporate and control it.
This evolutionary angle fits with the giants' reproductive cycle. If every giant was once a seed from a giant-tree, which produce the next generation without any apparent cross pollination, then all giants and their souls have to originate from a single ancestor, the first tree to produce the seeds. This would mean an original humanity core which would have likewise been split and spread amongst each new giant's soul. With the Dark's domain over space, it is feasible for this fragmented humanity to still remain magically linked, both separate souls and the same one simultaneously yet interchangeably. And because that dark core is essentially trapped inside, the giant kings would have plenty opportunity to develop their ability to use other pieces as conduits for telepathy. The Giant Lord's soul manipulates its core, and the intended effect is mirrored by the others; resonating, as you will. This reverberation naturally extends to the souls engulfing those cores, creating the giants' soul network.
As added evidence, the Japanese description for the generic giant's soul expressly uses the plural to refer to the race as a whole. One can argue that the text was simply worded with the presumption of owning multiple souls in mind, but it is still anomalous — the singular boss souls for the Skeleton Lords or Hollow Sentinels aren't subjected to this treatment. That isn't to say that the giants are a hivemind, as those whose memories we explore do have individual names: Vammar, Orro, and Jeigh, or Wamda, (ワムダ) Roh, (ロー) and Ojey. (オジェイ) However, there is also no denying the compound effect these souls have when facing Vendrick, their rage synergizing to add to our damage. With this mind, the invisible binds between their separate souls may very well be what led the Giant Lord and his army to their people's captors.
Soul of giants that invaded Drangleig once.
Did the wrath of the giants that was directed at the king disappear with their death? Or is there nothing to heal their hatred?
Use to acquire souls, but…
The so-called barbarians came to Drangleic seeking vengeance against Vendrick's own barbarism, wreaking havoc across the land. Wherever we find Drangleic soldiers or mercenaries stationed, we find Hollows, with no giant "corpses" anywhere among them save for at the seaside fortress. This was nothing short of a massacre, protracted for decades if both Drummond's father and grandfather defended the fort against them before him. And with such heavy losses by the defenders, the notion that the giants had a single-minded focus on reaching the castle where the giant golems were located, as the original description for the Giant Lord's Soul claims, sounds absurd; unsurprisingly, the information was removed with the big fix. The giants weren't aiming to quickly liberate their captive fellows. Their only concern was maximizing death and destruction for the enemy, to give back everything they endured. In the end, everything came to a head at the fortress, the giants flinging massive fireballs from their naval vessels while also landing forces past the walls. And for a last stand, Drangleic put up incredible resistance.
Soul of the King of the giants that destroyed Drangleig once.
The giants that appeared from beyond the north aimed for Vanclad's castle. As if only what was there was their objective.
The special soul this giant possesses is used to acquire a vast amount of souls or create a great power.
Those giants aren't just barbarians. They are driven by a rage that cannot forgive. For my father, my grandfather, fought these giants in this land. It is no ordinary tenacity. They probably cannot forgive them. My King's deeds…
By the time we arrive to the past, many giants have already been killed, many more contending with the Undead and Hollows their tarrying has forced them to confront. Even without us defeating the Giant Lord, the kingdom's tenacity handed them the victory, if only barely. In fact, despite us collecting his soul, the King of the giants apparently still had more to spare. Considering that this boss soul lacks the characteristic black hole at the core, it is likely the mere remnants left behind on the body coalesced into one resembling the average boss — not surprising given the ginormous size of the original. Even so, the King's loss of life energy no doubt weakened him, allowing some survivors on Drangleic's side to drag his broken body underground and seal it away with rubble. Based on the number of swords misshapenly jammed into him, this wasn't done without first trying to put him down for good, but the mass outbreak of Hollows likely had his would-be killers pressed for time and attention. And in fairness, their makeshift prison worked, at least until the King saw a familiar face.
Soul of the surviving giant that was bound to the Forest of Giants' underground.
It is said that the leader of the giants that tried to trample the kingdom underfoot was overthrown by a nameless hero. The leader was tethered to the fortress' underground and sealed away, but it was after anything and everything was completely destroyed.
Greataxe created from the soul of the Last Giant.
The primitive weapon resembling a stone tool of old possesses extraordinary size. Its strength aggregates only power.
Due to the work of a nameless hero, the giant was captured, but it was already all too late.
While this is technically our first time meeting him, the King clearly hasn't forgotten about the nameless hero who felled him so long ago. Upon seeing us, he flies into a rage, breaking himself free of his paltry restraints like a wild animal. Even bereft of so much of his strength, the giant gives his all to kill us, even if means pulling off his limp left arm and using it as a club; his sense of payback certainly hasn't abated. With his final demise, we supposedly kill the "Last Giant", but the few more warriors we can find hiding out in the Gutter potentially after this boss battle proves the name conditional at best. Regardless, it is true that their race is basically extinct, at least until the forest's seeds mature into the next generation. The King is the last one standing with the pride of his people, no skulking in the shadows as a cowardly runaways. When he is gone, so too is their kingdom, like so many before. And he refuses to be part of that cycle.

I am not an American citizen; nor do I live in the United States. However, I have always admired your country, your commitment to democracy and the three pillars of your constitution. I have also read that the contemporary constitutions of the world are effectively copied from the constitution of the United States. I believe you have all the momentum you need to be a great nation as you have been so far. I read on a local newspaper today that the American government has adopted a new foreign policy that places it in direct confrontation with the Russian Federation and communist China. I am sure your government has highly qualified advisors and think tanks, as they call them, and you my have reasonable grounds to adopt such policy. There are protests in the US, there is dissatisfaction among a number of citizens of your nation and there is a tangible situation where your country is no more the pivotal role player in the economies of many parts of the world, such as Asia. China is the second largest economy of the world and is even engaged in lending the US.
I do not have expertise opinions to give on this matter though I think that the US should not give in to communists and anti-democratic regimes in its economic status. The US should now concentrate on building its economy and dealing with its internal problems. I have been told that the US alone has spent around three trillion dollars in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I am not sure how much of that is true but why should America incur such huge amount of expenses while every body else seems to be minding its own business. Many people in my country, including me, wish for America to continue to lead the world. That will happen if only the US deals with its internal problems and concentrate on building its economy and mending the damages so far sustained. I would say that the government of the US during WWII was very wise in staying away while the powers of Europe were in war. That is how it should some times be. This is the world, not heaven. Not many are going to say "America has done this for us". That is what president Bush Junior said to his allies in Europe during the war in Iraq. America saved the European economy in the aftermath of the World War II. But were Europeans by the side of the US during the war in Iraq? Not as much as they should have been. I believe the war in Iraq was necessary. At the same time I believe that America has paid a lot of price for that. I read on the news and the internet that the congress is being accused of indecision. I also hear that the members of the congress are concerned with the stands of their parties and of being electric, their political benefits rather than the good of the nation.
Do not waste what God has given you. God has blessed your nation. Do not waste that. Save your country from collapse. Convince countries to allow American companies to engage in investments. China has basically controlled the African economy. Is it because China produces better quality? I do not believe so. I think the US has placed unnecessary barriers as opposed to investment opportunities in third world countries where there obviously is virgin natural resource. What about China? Chinese investors are, for example, engaged in my country in basically all fields. Why should American companies not engage in businesses as such? Where has China gotten all its hard currency reserves from? I believe it must have been from its international trade transactions. If the payroll tax cut, for instance, should be approved now, and if that is in the interest of the nation, why should it be postponed for two months? As I said, I am not an American and one may tell me that this is none of my business. However, I have a message to the incumbents: not all people of the world have a blessed nation as the United States. Do not waste what you have. Thank God for what He has given you and get back on track. We want America to continue with its leadership role in world politics. Our Prime Minister once said: "Globalization was intended to serve the westerners. But China has benefited the most out of it. If China – a nation of huge market within itself - manages to reach to a point where its population begins to earn as much per capita income as in the case of the US, China will have had as large economy as the economy of the US and all European nations altogether." We consider America as a symbol of democracy, civilization. We also admire America's forefathers for your faith in God.
Thanks for providing the link to "Innovation and the Global Market Place" program. I enjoyed watching this interview and would not have known about it without reading your excellent summary.
After this historic week of troop withdrawal from Iraq my hat goes to those brave diplomats left behind. I wish them the best and they are real heroes.


Scrawl on the patient with a permanent marker to show where the surgeon should cut. Ask the person's name to make sure you have the right patient. Count sponges to make sure you didn't leave any inside the body. Doctors worldwide who followed a checklist of steps like these cut the death rate from surgery almost in half and complications by more than a third in a large international study of how to avoid blatant operating room mistakes.
The results – most dramatic in developing countries – startled the researchers.
"I was blown away," said Dr. Atul Gawande, a Harvard surgeon and medical journalist who led the study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
U.S. hospitals have been required since 2004 to take some of these precautions. But the 19-item checklist used in the study was far more detailed than what is required or what many institutions do.
The researchers estimated that implementing the longer checklist in all U.S. operating rooms would save at least $15 billion a year.
"Most of these things happen most of the time for most patients, but we need to make it so that all these things happen all the time for all patients, because each slip represents an opportunity for harm," said Dr. Alex Haynes of the Harvard School of Public Health, one of the study's authors.
– Before the patient is given anesthesia, make sure the part of the body to be operated on is marked, and make sure everyone on the surgical team knows if the patient has an allergy.
– Before the surgeons cut, make sure everyone in the operating room knows one another and what their roles will be during the operation, and confirm that all the needed X-rays and scan images are in the room.
– After surgery, check that all the needles, sponges and instruments are accounted for.
Before the checklist was introduced, 1.5 percent of patients in a comparison group died within 30 days of surgery at the eight hospitals. Afterward, the rate dropped to 0.8 percent – a 47 percent decrease.
The biggest decreases were in developing countries, with the combined death rate for Jordan, India, Tanzania and the Philippines falling 52 percent. There was no significant difference in deaths in the wealthiest countries.
Overall, major complications dropped from 11 percent to 7 percent. Again, the biggest decreases were in the lower-income countries.
"What we're seeing is the benefits of good team work and coordinated care," Haynes said.
The results were so dramatic that Dr. Peter Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins University doctor who proved in a highly influential study a few years ago that checklists could cut infection rates from intravenous tubes, said he was skeptical of the findings.
The researchers acknowledged it is possible that the results were partly because people perform better when they know they're being watched.
However, the 19-point checklist is already being adopted. Ireland, Jordan, the Philippines and Britain have recently established nationwide programs to have the checklist used in all operating rooms.
In the U.S., the Joint Commission, which accredits most hospitals and sets standards for them, said it is considering adopting more of the steps. The agency already requires three of them, including marking the incision site and pausing before surgery to make sure everything is in place.
At least one patient in the study at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle welcomed the checklist.
So McDonald was fine with his doctor writing on his body where the incision would be. He had no problems with repeated inquiries about who he was and why he was there. He applauded measures such as a poster-size checklist hanging from an IV pole in the operating room.
"It eliminates the little bit that could possibly go wrong," he said.


Kyra Semler, 11, at her stall at the Pocket Money Market held at the V&A Waterfront. Kyra sold cookies and Fathers Day treats.
A 15-year-old CBD resident, won the Entrepreneur of the Day prize at the Pocket Money Market, held at the Watershed on Youth Day, June 16.
Khaya Reischmann sold novelty candles which he made himself, and pegged messages. He said it was the first time he had won anything. Khaya had struggled to sell his products at the last market, but he didn't give up. Instead, he learnt some more tips at the workshops held for the market participants and applied them this time.
Khaya was one of about 50 traders at the market, which was held at the V&A Waterfront for the first time since its inception almost three years ago.
The market saw children from the ages of 3 to 16 run about 25 stalls, selling food, sweets, crafts, jewellery and gifts for Father's Day, which was on Sunday June 18.
There were also children busking – another first for the market.
The market, run by Linda Wilson, nurtures entrepreneurship in children in the hope that more South Africans will be able to be self sufficient.
Ms Wilson started the programme because she felt poor education and poverty were to blame for most of the country's social ills including crime and substance abuse.
The children learned while they earned, and had fun doing it, she said.
The markets are run about twice a month at any venue that will have them.
The last market was in Kommetjie, but Ms Wilson said they would love to become regulars at the V&A Waterfront which had provided "great foot traffic" and good earnings.
Ms Wilson said the market relied on donations and sometimes a lack of funding threatened to scupper events, and made her want to give up, but "almost three years on, we are growing everyday".
Ms Wilson's daughter, Anna Jacobs, 10, has been participating in the market since its inception. This year, Anna chose to sell magic carpet cleaner, peanut brittle that she makes herself with the help of her aunt, and host a Knysna Fire fund collection point.
Anna also won the award for Most Greenest Stall of the day, as she incorporated a globe with litter attached to it, for environmental awareness.
She said the market has been doing really well so far, and more children are joining. "I'm saving up my money I make from the markets, in case I see something I really really want, like a surfboard, but also for a car when I am 18." Kyra Semler, 11, said she got involved in the market when her mother saw it as an opportunity for her to showcase her baking.
Kyra said she would like to be an entrepreneur one day, and if not, she would love to be a baker.
Lebohang Mngambi, 15, said he heard about the market from Ms Wilson and was asked to join. At the market, he sold dog biscuits he made himself and fresh produce that he and his parents grew in their garden at home.
Milisa Ndlebe, 12, was crowned the very first Busker of the Day. The young violinist played a tune at the prize-giving ceremony held after the market. He plans to put his prize money of R100 towards buying a new tuner.
Gabriel Arendse, 9, won Most Innovative Project. He farms worms and grows plants and flowers, which he sold at the market.


Property number 5 is a very large job and is being used as a backup to the other properties if we have time to complete. The couple living there essentially live in a large shed with 1 power point and no fixed bathroom facilities. We will be needed to install a bathroom, electrical over the whole shed as well as adding walls to create a bathroom and bedroom. We currently have someone looking at the extent of the work however there will be small jobs we can do if there is time. This job is going to be rolled over to a second trip in late August. Photos from the property can be found below or click here.
Bathroom at the rear of the house requires extensive assessment and repairs to fix a number of areas such as toilet, shower, basin, washtub (twin) for washing machine.
Will require an assessment from a Plumber to determine problems and materials required to rectify the issue. Toilet cistern (Cheaper to buy complete toilet and cistern).
Twin washtub (can be used as a basin) – this will allow for a washing machine to be used within this area as a space saving idea).
Piping, plumbing, mortor, screws, etc.
Electrician required in bathroom for assessment of requirements to repair/establish electrical fittings and connections throughout. Electrical equipment as required by trades-person – wiring, conduit, etc.
Extra power point throughout all rooms, especially in the kitchen. 2 x pin power points in a number of locations throughout the house. Main area is kitchen.
Ceiling and walls of house require sheeting thus needing an electrician to assess the fitout requirements for lighting and power requirements. Electrical equipment as required by trades-person – wiring, conduit, etc.
carpentry equipment i.e. saws, hammer, screws, nails, etc.
Ceiling and walls of house require plaster sheeting. This will need carpenter/builder to assess the battening requirements and then appropriate sheeting material. Carpentry equipment and materials as required by trades-person.

Softcover, 23cm x 15cm, 468pgs
The Malaysian Estates Staff Provident Fund 1947–2017 quantity
In this book, Jerayaj C. Rajarao provides a detailed and compelling account of the first provident fund established in Malaya through co-operation between plantation companies, the All Malayan Estates Staff Union and the then colonial government of Malaya. This account also:
situates the MESPF in the broader political, economic and social situation in colonial and post-colonial Malaya and later Malaysia,
highlighting the impact of colonial capitalism and labour regulation,
the importance of immigration,
the growth of state intervention in the economy, transformations in the plantation industry
the impacts of global financial crises on the MESPF.
As the first history of MESPF, The Malaysian Estates Staff Provident Fund 1947–2017, also offers a systematic account of its development, tracing its growth and expansion alongside the rubber and oil palm industries that have been so crucial to the Malaysian economy.
In lucid, vigorous and expressive prose Dato' Jeyaraj C. Rajarao fills the gap on an important topic that has long eluded Malaysian historiography: the origin and development of the MESPF. Hiscontribution is of immense value to understand and interpret the meager wages paid to plantation workers and retirement security provided to the working class both during the colonial and postcolonial period. Not surprisingly, the system continues to persist in 21st Century Malaysia.
Dr. V. Selvaratnam
Former Associate Professor, Faculty of Economics & Public Administration, University of Malaya & Higher Education Specialist, World Bank
An absorbing read especially for the younger generation kept uninformed or misinformed about an important part of Malaysia's history because it does not synch with the official history or the versions written or approved by the victors. Although focused on the MESPF, a relatively minor actor on the nation's economic stage, Rajarao provides a succinct overview and a stimulating analysis of how colonial and post-independence governments have been exploitative of labour rights and engaged in pro-capital policies to further their political agendas.

On the outside looking in: A Northern perspective on being part of the Irish Nation
The dictionary defines the term Identity "as the fact of being who or what a person is."
The dictionary defines that term, but it doesn't mention the unique affinity that identity has in the North of Ireland - it cuts across religion, political expression and national identity, leaving all citizens of- and around- the region vulnerable.
The Good Friday Agreement is widely championed as a beacon of hope, a reminder that peace is possible in even the least likely of places. It marked the beginning of a process of reconciliation after decades of violence and trauma. The Agreement required the interventions of the Irish, British and American governments in order to convince the vast majority of Northern Ireland's regional political parties to take a profound leap of faith. The people of Ireland, North and South voted overwhelmingly for the promises on its pages in 1998. Born out of that Agreement was a peace accord founded on the principles of equality and mutual respect, with an onus on the co-guarantors to protect and enshrine these foundations into domestic policy and practice. A complex combination of legislation, reform and good will has been essential to the creation of newly formed institutions.
The peace process afforded us the great privilege to choose our nationality and put us in a unique position within the United Kingdom. The Good Friday Agreement sought to protect the delicate identity balance that exists in this region, removing it as a source of conflict. I did not quite understand the intricacies or complexities around this right until beginning the process of applying for my US husband's immigration status within the UK. We took a legal challenge against the British Home Office after they declared me British and denied my husbands application. It's a case that took immeasurable effort and half-a-decade before securing substantive changes to domestic UK law and eventually, reaffirming the identity and citizenship provisions that we had sought to protect. For me identity is personal, I'm an Irish citizen, not by choice, not from a decision but because my Irishness forms an integral part of who I am. In choosing to defend the right to be accepted as Irish under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement I became acutely aware of the peristsent barriers to both reconciliation and the full realisation of our rights as Irish citizens.
Two decades removed from the Good Friday Agreement, our politics often feels more polarised than ever before, and it is that polarisation which drives so many of our young people away to places unencumbered with these divisions. Those who stay are forced to endure an oftentimes toxic political environment, which for many inevitably culminates in disengagement from politics entirely. And yet, there remains hope.
The Good Friday Agreement laid the groundwork for a softening of hard identity lines in Northern Ireland, today the majority of people identify as neither unionist or nationalist, the once binary descriptors of citizens in the North. Yet despite this progress the people of Northern Ireland are often still referred to as one or the other. The people of the Republic Ireland aren't referred to by their political or religious affiliations, but those of us half-an-hour up the road all-to-often are.
This localised practice is a blockade to true reconciliation, and it is a habit that both the Irish and British governments are guilty of helping to perpetuate. We are citizens first and foremost – what belief system we may or may not hold should never be seen as our only defining feature with which to brand us for political gain, especially in a region with such a turbulent history with weaponised ideology.
Brexit has irreconcilably altered identity politics in Northern Ireland with thousands of citizens at an increasing rate claiming their birth right to Irish citizenship. As more and more citizens in the North join the Irish nation it is imperative that we establish what that citizenship entails.
As an Irish person residing in the North of Ireland, I have, at times, found myself feeling as if I were on the outside looking in. I have no right to political participation in my home nation- a principal considered by many to be an integral part of citizenship. I've watched, bursting with pride, as Irish citizens returned home to vote for the monumental referendums in 2015 and 2018, dedicated not only to their country, but to democracy, and have longed to be a part of that movement. While still maintaining strong cultural roots, Ireland has in recent years strived to shed that which has long been recognized as a conservative and restrictive shroud, at long last allowing itself to become powerfully reimagined as a progressive society. However, the country continues to be an outlier on the world stage when it comes to enfranchising their citizens abroad.
We are, at present, in the midst of a crisis like no other – a global pandemic which has transformed the way many of us live our lives and has required us to curtail hard-fought civil liberties and societal norms as we all collectively work to save lives- ironically- by staying apart. This viral outbreak has brought about a kind of communal pause from the fast-paced lifestyle to-which so many of us have become accustomed. This period has served as a poignant reminder of what matters most to us all- our family, our friends, our communities. All of us have been brought together in shared grief and solidarity, despite being pulled apart. Our collective response to this emergency has been a display of strength, the power of humanity, and our will as a people.
The Irish President represents the Irish nation and serves as a symbol of Irish culture and tradition. The office of the President recognises all Irish citizens as equals and represents the Irish people on the world stage and yet those of us half an hour up the road, on the island of Ireland can cast no vote for our President. As we emerge collectively from this crisis and begin to carve out a new normal, it's my hope that we can carve out a more inclusive concept of what it means to be Irish outside the State.

Théodore Tobiasse
Carborundum
Théodore Tobiasse was a French artist best known for his Expressionist paintings and prints. Portraying women, men, and symbolic iconography with loose brushstrokes and rich colors, Tobiasse's work evokes a Judeo-Christian mysticism akin to renowned French-Russian painter Marc Chagall. Born on April 26, 1927 in Jaffa, Mandatory Palestine (currently Israel) to Lithuanian immigrant parents, he and his family moved to Paris in 1931. Tobiasse spent his adolescence studying at the National School of Decorative Arts while avoiding Nazi forces during World War II. Following the liberation of Paris, he began his career as a designer, creating tapestries, stage sets, and window decorations for the company Hemès. He went on to achieve international attention and critical acclaim, garnering awards such as the Dorothy Gould Prize in 1961. In the 1970s, a visit to Jerusalem inspired him to create a stained-glass work for the Jewish Community Center in Nice. The artist died on November 3, 2012 in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France.

David et Bethsabee (David and Bathsheba)
Medium: Color lithograph and carborundum
Dimensions: 39 x 27 inches
Signature: Signed
Date finished: 1984
Edition: 47/125
Bathsheba was King David's most famous wife because their marriage came after an illicit extramarital affair at the height of David's reign (circa 1005-965 B.C.). The scholarship around the relationship of Bathsheba and David subsequently has centered on who seduced whom?. In Tobiasse's rendering, Bathsheba is an exuberant and willing participant in the adulterous affair. This interpretation is made all the more clear in the way Bathsheba very directly offers up her breast, but more more telling is Tobiasse's inclusion of a target with an arrow on the bulls eye placed on King David's head.

Update: Team members for each country/region are in!
A few weeks ago, it was announced that Canada would play host to the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Invitational. Now an annual competition featuring some of the sports' top athletes, the Invitational pits teams (and continents) against one another in order to test elite CrossFitters in an all-star setting. Last week, CrossFit announced a few more key details fans have been waiting for.
This year's competition will take place on Sunday, November 20th, at the General Motors Centre in Toronto, CanadaThe action kicks off at 4pm EST (local time in Toronto).
Live streaming of the competition will be available at Games.CrossFit.com and on CrossFit's YouTube page. ESPN2 will air coverage of the event at a later date.
Unfortunately for eager fans, we'll have to wait until September 27th to find out who will comprise each of the elite teams. Last year's event was held in Madrid, Spain, and saw Team USA cruise to victory over teams from Canada and the Pacific/Europe regions. The Invitational debuted in 2012 with a Team USA versus Team World format. Since 2014, the event has featured teams from the USA, Canada, Pacific, and Europe at every event.
Generally, teams are comprised of the top two male and female finishers from each country/region at that year's CrossFit Games, though there are usually exceptions base don athlete availability and injuries.
Archived footage of the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Invitational is embedded below.

I just wanted to tell you that Tom came to my place yesterday to help me with my new puppy Archie.
He was absolutely FANTASTIC. I have learnt so much more than I knew before. He is a credit to your business. I had spoken to you earlier in the week as I have two Bichons and you helped me get them to socialise together!! We are slowly getting to love each other!!!


As parents, we try and protect our children and keep them safe from physical, emotional and psychological harm. Sometimes however, our children experience things which can be potentially harmful to their psychological development. This may be in relation to themselves or others that they are connected to. These include trauma, violence, changes in family circumstances, physical illness or bereavement, accidents, disability, parents' loss of regular income, social difficulties, changes in school etc. What makes one child cope better than another, and how come two children who experience a similar trauma for example, respond completely differently? The answer lies in their general resilience, which will affect their perception of the event and how it affects their perception of themselves and their world.
In research that I have conducted regarding the effects of divorce on a child's level of adjustment and self- esteem, it was clear that the factors that consistently predicted positive outcome for a child's psychological wellbeing is their level of resilience. Resilience is important for children as it can help a child to adjust to and possibly even be strengthened by adversity.
How we respond when our child experiences difficulty, and how we help them, will have a significant impact on how resilient they are. Children's resilience is promoted by their experience of support within safe relationships, their view of themselves and their confidence in their ability to cope when faced with difficulties.
Although promoting resilience involves a complex interplay of factors, and children need different support at different developmental stages I will attempt to provide an overview of some of the factors that promote resilience. The language and way that we implement these will vary according to the child's age, maturity and level of development. Many of these factors are intuitive and some may be less obvious. This is not intended to be an exhaustive checklist, but rather an exercise in being aware of what we as parents do on a daily basis that directly or indirectly promotes our child's resilience.
Although you obviously love your child, you should be mindful of helping your child to feel Lovable and have a sense of attachment. Demonstrate unconditional love, tell them you love them and demonstrate it through 'special time' and time spent engaging with them.
Encourage a Sense of Belonging within the family, socially and within the community. This promotes resilience and helps children to feel part of something greater than themselves.
Provide Trusting Relationships where they know that they can count on you no matter what happens and that you are there to support them and are able to handle their difficult feelings.
Be a resilient Role Model. Model resilience to your children by demonstrating appropriate behaviour when you are facing challenges such as interpersonal problems, conflict and difficulties. Model allowing yourself to ask for help, and do your best to demonstrate courage, confidence, optimism, and self-esteem.
Have Structure and Rules at home. Have clear rules and boundaries and have appropriate consequences for when these are challenged. Fair and appropriate boundaries give your child a sense of predictability and will help your child to feel emotionally safe.
Preparation and discussion about things that may be happening which require them to be resilient. It is important to find the balance between preparing them and making them more anxious by over-preparing them.
Help your child to begin to accept responsibility for his or her own behaviour and to understand that his or her actions have consequences.
Encourage and Model Flexibility in selecting different resilience factors as a response to an adverse situation, for example, seek help instead of continuing alone in a very difficult situation; show empathy instead of continuing with anger or fear or share feelings with a friend instead of continuing to suffer alone.
Children need to become resilient to overcome the many adversities they face and will face in life and they cannot do it alone. They need adults who know how to promote resilience and are intent on becoming more resilient themselves. Most often children will cope if they have an experience of the above factors most of the time. Occasionally, in various circumstances, a child or parent may need professional support and guidance in handling difficulties and their consequent impact on a child's ability to cope, their view of themselves or their world. In these instances, it is important to model resilience by seeking help should you or your child need it.

Q: Cocoa - Read PDF files from file system and print them I'm trying to print PDF-files that are read from the file system. But can't quite get it to work. I know that I have to have the file in a view and then print the view.
This is my print method:
NSPrintInfo *printInfo = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo];
NSPrintOperation *PDFPrint = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:_pdfView printInfo:printInfo];
[PDFPrint setCanSpawnSeparateThread:YES];
[PDFPrint setShowsProgressPanel:YES];
[PDFPrint runOperation];

And this is how I create the view:
PDFDocument *pdfDocument = [[PDFDocument alloc] initWithURL:fileURL];

PDFPage *firstPage = [pdfDocument pageAtIndex:0];
NSRect bounds = [firstPage boundsForBox:kPDFDisplayBoxMediaBox];
NSSize pixelSize = bounds.size;
NSSize documentSize;

documentSize.width = pixelSize.width;
documentSize.height = pixelSize.height;
PDFView *PDFDocumentView = [[PDFView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, documentSize.width, documentSize.height)];

[PDFDocumentView setDisplayMode:kPDFDisplaySinglePage];
[PDFDocumentView setDisplayBox:kPDFDisplayBoxMediaBox];
[PDFDocumentView setAutoScales:NO];
[PDFDocumentView setDocument:pdfDocument];
[PDFDocumentView setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]];

return PDFDocumentView;

When I've tweaked this back and forth I've managed to print the PDF but it's not properly aligned.
About the alignment. I can see the red background I've created and I'm not able to see part of the right side of the pdf.
So how do I best read and then print PDF files?
Any ideas?

A: It seems that it scales correct if I instead use:
[PDFDocumentView printWithInfo:printInfo autoRotate:NO];

Who. Who handled the evidence?
What. What procedures were performed on the evidence?
When. When was the evidence collected and/or transferred to another party?
Where. Where was the evidence collected and stored?
How. How was the evidence collected and stored?
Why. For what purpose was the evidence collected?
If evidence must change hands multiple times, you may have a very long list of information to keep track of here.
As mentioned above the first step in any forensic investigation is the collection of evidence. Sometimes, we have to gather large amounts of data before we can determine what is relevant enough to be deemed evidence. But this needs to be obtained within the confines of the law. We should think about the process that we'll use to collect evidence. So on a live running machine, we would have to perform a live analysis, and that would be conducted from another machine over the network. Data analysis, though, should only occur on copies of data – never the original. So we need to think about volatile evidence, such as the contents of electronic memory because when the machine is shut down, that evidence would be lost. The details of the scene need to be recorded because sometimes investigations can be lengthy. So everything needs to be documented, and date and time stamped because we might need to report findings months, or even many years later. Sometimes, the result of a court decision can be overturned in the future. So often, we'll need to archive evidence that gets collected.
Evidence collection is the first step of a forensic investigation and is a two-pronged process. The first aspect is determining what evidence needs to be collected and confirming if that evidence can be collected legally. The second aspect involves deciding how to collect evidence which includes considering the collection process, conducting live analyses, and bearing volatile evidence like electronic memory in mind.
When collecting evidence, it is important to record details of the potential crime scene because investigations are sometimes lengthy. This means you may need to report findings months or years later.
Evidence would also include items such as handwritten notes, photographs, or audio/visual recordings. Sometimes a great way to gather evidence on a machine that's already running is to take a photograph of what's happening on the screen. The chain of custody, often referred to as COC, preserves the integrity of collected evidence. It records items such as who obtained evidence, what the evidence was – whether it was an entire computer system, external storage media, and so on – when and where the evidence was obtained, who secured the evidence, and who had control or possession of the evidence. All of this pertains to the chain of custody. This needs to be a documented process because any break in that chain of custody will cast doubt on the integrity of that evidence. So therefore, the court could deem that evidence inadmissible. Data integrity can be proven using hashing.
In evidence collection, it is important to also consider things like handwritten notes, photographs, and audio/visual recordings.
Part of the purpose of having a chain of custody in place is to preserve the integrity of evidence. The chain of custody holds record of who obtained evidence, what the evidence was (eg. computer, external hard drive, or SD card), when and where the evidence was obtained, who secured the evidence, and who had control or possession of the evidence.
The chain of custody needs to be well-documented. Any break in the chain of custody can cast doubt on the investigation as well as on the integrity of the evidence. That doubt could render the evidence inadmissible in court.
Hashing can be used to prove data integrity. Methods like MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 can be used to execute the hashing.
Algorithms including MD5 and SHA256 might be used to actually do that. File hashing should be performed multiple times, using multiple tools, so that we can prove that data has not been tampered with. Bear in mind that digital forensics is about following very specific steps, to consistently reproduce the exact same results. It's all about integrity and consistency. We should also consider what to do when it comes to interviewing people involved, such as suspects, colleagues, or witnesses – including expert witnesses. Often these people can provide additional helpful information for an investigation. These items might be related to the actual incident, or it could be related to the evidence being seized; in terms of who owns it, who uses it, and how they use it. In this video, we discussed evidence collection and handling.

Kirk O. Hanson: Steve, let me begin with a simple question: What is character education?
Sometimes character is talked about in terms of citizenship. When I was in school, we used the term deportment. But whatever we call it, as educators, we've always been interested in building positive, productive citizens.
H: What are the objectives of character education in the schools today?
J: In some schools, it's about promoting pro-social thoughts, values, and behaviors and having students act as good citizens should in school. In others, it's about developing specific desirable values. For schools in general, character education is about finding some way to help students develop good habits or virtues.
H: What is your approach to character education and how does it differ from other approaches?
J: We say that character education is a way of doing everything in the school. It's not one particular program or focus; it's everything we do that influences the kind of human beings students become.
To break that down, we use a triangle model to explain moral development. Basically, we look at three sets of factors that influence how human character develops.
The triangle sits on the foundation of skills, which we group into two sets: coping and cooperation. To understand coping skills, think about the moments in our lives when we have the most trouble and ask, What else was going on at the same time? Were we tired or stressed or angry? In order to build character, we have to learn to deal with the times when it's hard to be the kind of person we want to be. Those coping skills are emotional management, anger control, impulse control, stress management, and so forth. Cooperation skills include dealing with people and dealing with conflict situations.
In every lesson we do, in every program we put on, we balance the triangle, taking into account values formation, thought processes, and skill development. That's our reference point.
Another thing that makes our program distinct is that we said right from the beginning, "We are not going to be another character education program that's just for the most privileged. If it doesn't work for kids who read across the spectrum—below the 20th percentile as well as above— and if it doesn't work for kids who have trouble in school as well as those who don't, and if it doesn't work for kids who like school and kids who hate school, it isn't for real."
H: Why do you work with the language arts curriculum?
J: We wanted to tie the program to things schools already need to do. We spend so much time on the English language arts program because everyone takes English, and the curriculum is already full of strong narratives that provide an excellent vehicle for character education. Literacy is fundamental.
H: Do you have to teach character education to kids in the mainstream differently from the way you teach at-risk youngsters?
J: I don't think so. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, the same realities in their lives. Perhaps more privileged youngsters have been able to struggle with them better because they've had more nurturing, better role models, wider opportunities, and so forth. But the substance is very much the same.
H: What about differences in culture and language?
J: Ethics is not about being part of any culture; it's about being human. Whatever your background, culture, language, etc., you cannot be successful, you cannot run a society without human minimums in the way of conduct.
When I work with groups, I take the core values and I go around and ask if anyone is opposed to them: "Is anyone around here opposed to respect, at the least in the way other people treat you? Is anyone opposed to responsibility, at least in the way someone drives if he borrows your car? Is anyone here opposed to self-control, at least by the person holding a gun in the same room with you?" And so forth. What we find is everyone realizes right away that these are human minimums.
Even the most jaded kids recognize the importance of values. Now, they may not be able to demonstrate them, but they at least agree that values are significant. For example, no matter how disrespectful they are toward other people, kids are very clear that they would like people to respect them.
H: Where did you get the specific values that are taught in your program and why those?
J: That took a long, long time. When we look at values and virtues, there's no end to the list. Actually, we came to ours from a couple of different directions. One was Thomas Lickona's work on educating for character. His notion is that two virtues, respect and responsibility, frame a public, teachable morality.
Respect is the regard due to me and to all other persons on the planet by virtue of our being human. It's not honor or something we have to earn, but precisely that which we don't. Respect forms the restraint side of morality. It's what I restrain myself from doing because it might harm that which I value.
Responsibility is the positive, proactive side of morality—the things I do because I said I would, because I ought to, because they promote the common good.
We see respect and responsibility as the two hinges of a public, teachable morality, which integrity fills in. When we say "integrity," we mean the whole person, undivided, developing all aspects of the self.
H: But you go beyond respect, responsibility, and integrity.
J: Yes. We were interested in what happens to young people who score below the 20th percentile on standardized tests and who may have a history of anti-social behavior. We wondered what virtues we could emphasize that might make a difference in the thoughts, values, and behaviors of those kids. What helps people to be more pro-social than anti-social, more virtuous than criminal? What could keep someone who's having trouble from continuing to get in more trouble?
So we looked at research not only in the usual places—such as philosophy—but also in special education, correctional education, and criminology. We looked at psychological research on cognitive distortions that cause people to twist their filter of reality in a way that causes them to miss-see and miss—think about the world. And we looked at virtues that were a counter to the misperceptions that get people in trouble. In that process, we realized that virtues like self-direction and self-control are important.
We also saw that many at-risk kids valued courage, but they had a self-destructive vision of it. To them, the most courageous thing you could do was the most outrageous thing you could do. The more dangerous it was, the more courageous they thought it was. We try to teach the idea that courage is about risk, but for a purpose not for a thrill. Courage is about risk that promotes some greater good, which justifies the danger. So courage gets linked to the idea of self-control. We also developed a unit called "change requires effort," in which we teach that change is both desirable and requires work in the way we go about it.
In addition, we're interested in values like moderation because we work with many kids who tend to go to one extreme or the other, for example relative to drinking or using drugs. In this area, we try to help them find a way to moderate their impulses and desires.
And we focus on justice, which for us means recognizing that there are other people in the world and that they make legitimate demands on us. When we work with kids, we always start by saying, "Ethics might not be necessary if you were the only one here, but you're not. Because we have to share this planet with other people, we have to have some way of getting along together. We call that ethics. Ethics is about relationships, and justice is necessary in order to preserve those relationships."
So, respect, responsibility, integrity, self-control, self-direction, change requires effort, moderation, and justice—those are the eight key values that frame our program.
K: Tell us about a core value unit. How do you teach self-control?
1. Which of the California Language Arts Standards does the unit address?
2. What texts will we use?
3. What products will students create?
4. What processes will we use to teach the big ideas in the unit?
We start with a basic understanding of the value. With self-control, we use the notion of courage and risk for a purpose and the idea that courage requires self-control. You've got to be able to manage yourself in order to take purposeful risks.
To Kill a Mockingbird is the core work in this particular unit. In addition to our core novel, we have several hundred other items that teachers might choose from, including novels, poetry, nonfiction, plays—all of them dealing with the courage theme.
Of course, the unit is embedded in the English language arts curriculum, and, as it happens, the standards that are addressed in this particular unit involve academic proficiencies such as writing narrative responses to literature and exposition. Actually, the unit cuts across the six language arts: reading, writing, listening, speaking, feeling, and visually representing.
With each text, we work with students to create a visual product, which they then explain and eventually turn into written language. In a classroom that's studying To Kill a Mockingbird right now, students started by making a bookmark that represented the town. As they made that bookmark, they indicated where all the various places in the town were, which not only helped them to keep track of where they were in the story but also gave them a visual reference point as we talked about the place.
In the first four weeks, we did open-mind portraits, for which students created a bust of a key character in the story. Then they surrounded that character with cartoon bubbles, which included things that character might think or say. As the unit goes on, they'll add bubbles in different colors to show how they see that character changing through the story, and they'll make open-mind portraits of other characters, as well.
They may also make posters. One of the things kids notice right away is the subject of racism in To Kill a Mockingbird. To address that issue directly, we have them make posters with some solutions they might suggest for dealing with that problem. When we get to the courtroom scenes, we do an actual cross-examination and create a newspaper to show what happens.
We follow each of these activities with daily journal writing, where the kids are really looking at characters and how they exhibit courage. Eventually, we ask them to choose the character they think is most courageous and, in small groups, they create a campaign ad for that particular character. We also have them do negative ads about characters that they think don't exemplify courage, and why not.
After we put those ads up, we ask them to do a radio show, which they then write a paragraph about. The following week, we teach them how to turn that paragraph into an essay, where they compare four characters as to courage, with an introduction and conclusion about how their definitions of courage have changed.
Every teacher who works on this unit is going to do it somewhat differently. We offer about 100 basic strategies that we mix and match in various ways, but all of them include visual and oral language products that eventually turn into written language processes. Throughout, we're really looking for ways that move the kids to think about values. We test and try to change kids' concept of courage so that it includes a willingness to use skills such as anger control and anticipating the consequences of actions.
H: Your program is now operating in more than 200 schools. In fact, character education has been a very popular idea nationally during the past 10 to 15 years. Why is it on the public agenda so prominently?
J: I think a lot of people are afraid of the kind society we're becoming. Oftentimes, they think there's some significant difference between kids today and kids "like we were," and they believe things are deteriorating.
I'm not sure things are deteriorating, but we're all often startled by the world we see. Some people find it easy to blame the schools and say, "The problem is based on character defects, and the schools should teach character." Others say it's about parents and the need for them to take their jobs more seriously.
I think we've almost lost interest in raising children in this society, and a good deal of our problem comes from that. Kids today spend more time with their peers and less time with adults than has ever been true in history. The result is that kids socialize one another.
If we want to have more impact on our children's values, we have to be willing to devote more time to them. I remember the myth of the one-minute manager and that somehow you could apply this to parenting. But it's not about quality time; it's about time.
The interest in character education is very much from parents and schools feeling that they're not doing a good enough job and asking, "How can we better influence the kind of people that our kids become?


One of the most scenic camps is found on the eastern slope of the Organ Mountains. It sets at the base of towering pinnacles, and has expansive views of the valley below.
There are two trails; one a 4 1/2 mile loop up to the base of the spires, and the other is 7 miles one way to a gap that passes to the other side. Both are rocky with elevation changes about 1,500ft. I hiked the loop trail on a previous visit.
This time I was satisfied to climb around through the many rocks and boulders taking photos. The remains of a tree provided an interesting silhouette against the sky. From the campground, you can see into the Tularosa Basin toward White Sands National Monument.
The BLM campground is not suitable for rigs over 30ft, and is drycamping only with small spaces. There are tight switchbacks going in, and a wicked dip through a wash on the one way exit road. If you have a smaller rig, you'll not regret a visit.
That was a really nice location it seems. Thanks for the pictures.
Yes. I really enjoyed that place. At close to 6,000ft it is probably off limits to some folks.
With other things on our minds, we haven't been keeping up with you, but we were talking this morning and decided we ought to check up on you. We are delighted to see you are still out there exploring. Beautiful country.
Glad to hear from you Ralph. Hope you're still enjoying your life. I can't seem to stop roaming around.

Inclusive Narrative Project
Creating an Inclusive Narrative Project
A series of roundtable dialogues will be held throughout the country over the coming months. The roundtables will allow us to collaboratively explore and develop such a narrative as a contribution to the national conversation on social cohesion. The country is invited to journey alongside one another in an exploration of these fundamental questions and to create a visionary and shared description of ourselves which will strengthen social cohesion into the future.
The roundtables will be populated by representatives of communities and groups as well as other contributors to the discourse on social cohesion including, academics, representatives of government and non-government organisations, journalists and thought leaders. These roundtables will be rolled out to a new grouping of cities each quarter and discussions will be hosted online for representatives in rural and remote areas who cannot travel to a location.
Facilitators will draw on approaches to ensure an explorative and equitable discussion process to engender the relevant thoughts, ideas and innovative steps forward to be captured into this narrative. Their overall contributions will be synthesised into the Inclusive Narrative document, capturing the insights and ideas which can be drawn on to guide and inspire our country into the future as we strive to strengthen social cohesion.

Q: How do you create a function that performs Sigma notation calculations in JavaScript? I'm trying to create a function that performs Sigma notation calculations in JavaScript. (If you don't know Sigma notation, it will be clear what I'm trying to do below.) My goal is to make a function that can be written as easily as Sigma notation and return the solution that the Sigma notation would calculate. Ideally, I would like calls to the function to only have to provide the starting value, ending value, and the calculation to be performed on each number in the set of numbers before summing them as arguments.
For example,
thisIsMySigmaNotationFunction(1, 4, 2i+1)

would return:
(2(1)+1) + (2(2)+1) + (2(3)+1) + (2(4)+1) = 24

Here is the code I created so far, which works, but I have to create a separate function to use as the 2i+1 argument. I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid this and call the function as above since 2i+1 might need to change to i/(i+1) or other calculations in the future and it would be great to not have to create a separate function to insert as an argument each time.
function sigmaCalculation(start, end, whatToSum){
    var sum = 0;

    for (var i = start; i <= end; i++){
        sum += whatToSum(i);
    };

    console.log(sum);
}

function calculationToSum(this1){
    return 2*this1+1;
}

A: If it helps at all, you don't need to make named functions for every time you call this, you can use anonymous functions:
sigmaCalculation(1, 4, function(x) { return 2 * x + 1; });

Which can be pretty compact.
Now if you want to do i/(i+1), you just change your call to:
sigmaCalculation(1, 4, function(x) { return x / (x + 1); });

A: Arrow functions now make this less annoying.
function sigma(start, end, modifier) {
  const length = end - start + 1;
  const map = (v, k) => modifier ? modifier(k + start) : k + start;
  const sum = (a, b) => a + b;

  return Array.from({ length }, map).reduce(sum);
}

sigma(3, 5); // 12
sigma(3, 5, i => i+2); // 18
sigma(3, 5, i => i*2); // 24
sigma(3, 5, i => i/(i+1)); // 2.3833333333333333

A: Adding an anonymous function does the job. We can even perform different calculations each time we call the function by changing calculations at the function call.
function sigmaCal(start, end, calculation){
  var sigma=0;
  for(var i=start; i<=end; i++){
    sigma += calculation(i);
  }
  console.log(sigma);
}

sigmaCal(1,4, function(x){ return 2*x +1;});

Output: 24

A: To be able to using a string-based input instead of a function, you can use JavaScript's eval:
function sigmaCalculation(start, end, whatToSum){
    var sum = 0;

    for (var i = start; i <= end; i++){
        sum += eval(whatToSum.replace("i", i));
    };

    console.log(sum);
}

sigmaCalculation(0, 5, "2*i+1");

Note that this is not very safe, especially when getting input from a user, as eval basically runs any and all JavaScript code.

A:
thisIsMySigmaNotationFunction(1, 4, 2i+1)

That's syntactically invalid. The only way to avoid passing a function (like in @MattBurland's answer) is to create the function dynamically, e.g. from a string. I've built a little helper function based on Osteele's functional library:
function F(body) {
    var args = body.match(/2i+1/g).sort();
    return new Function(args, "return "+body.replace(/(\d+)([a-z])/g, "$1*$2"));
}

With that, you can write
thisIsMySigmaNotationFunction(1, 4, F("2i+1"))
