Exceptional photograph album documenting college-life in the first quarter of the 20th Century
Compiled by K. G. Feick
Capital College, Bexley, Ohio: 1918-1923. Album. The album measures 10" x 7" and contains over 280 photographs ranging in size from 1" x 1.5" to 7" x 5". The photos are glued to the pages; all are captioned. There are several newspaper clippings attached to the pages and laid-in. A program for the 1923 football game against Otterbein (Capital's biggest rival) is attached inside the rear cover. Freick is the likely compiler of this album as tick-marks have been placed by his name in many of the newspaper clippings. Everything is in nice shape.
Capital College (today Capital University) was founded in 1830 as the Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod in Ohio over forty years before The Ohio State University began to take shape. It is the oldest university in Central Ohio and the largest Lutheran college in the United States. It began accepting women in 1918, the year Feick began assembling this album. Three of the 32 members of Feick's graduating class were female, and they are included in the cameos of the graduates apparently removed from a school yearbook.
The album contains photos of the campus, faculty members, students, and all aspects of college life.
There are many team and individual portraits of football, tennis, baseball, basketball players.
There are numerous photos of other extracurricular as well including the band, a fraternal organization, the glee club, and cheerleaders.
Several images show the Student Army Training Corps (S.A.T.C.), a World War One forerunner of ROTC.
One image shows the college May Pole and another shows three coeds studying under a tree.
Several photos show students preparing to build tennis courts for the school and
Another group documents a visit to the campus by Warren Harding.
Of special interest are a series of about 20 photographs of class rushes. While today, the term 'rush' refers to an aspect of Greek life that was not the case in the past. Class rushes were all-out organized, school sponsored fights or battles between students. At Capital, apparently two different rushes were held, a "cane rush" and a "sack rush."
In cane rushes, usually a member of one class would brandish a cane at a large school event, perhaps right after chapel on Sunday, and shout something like "The freshman have the cane and the sophomores don't." This challenge would then be taken to the quad or other open area one campus where the students would beat each other's' brains out until one class retained the cane and the other acknowledged defeat.
A "sack rush" was slightly less violent. Generally, a number of large canvas sacks would be arranged on the ground and two classes would face off against each other. When the contest began, the students would rush to the sacks and attempt to drag them to their class's goal line and multiple tugs-of-war would be fought. Very good. Item #009228

BYU basketball claws past Weber State 87-79 to end nonconference slate for both teams
By BRETT HEIN Standard-Examiner
SALT LAKE CITY — Competitive from the jump, Wednesday's nonconference finale between Weber State and BYU men's basketball came down to just a few crucial plays.
Some came in the first half and some in the second. In the end, the final score reflected the margin from the first time BYU created space and the Cougars claimed an 87-79 victory at Vivint Arena.
"For the most part, we did pretty well," WSU senior forward Dontay Bassett said. "They had a couple wide-open (3-pointers) that kind of killed us in the first half. Other than that, we played hard, we never gave up, we stayed hungry, we stayed going play by play."
With the margin floating around 7-10 points in BYU's favor throughout the second half, Michal Kozak canned a 3-pointer from the wing to make it 76-70 with 4:25 left. Brandon Averette answered with one of only six BYU 3-pointers to keep the Cougars comfortable.
An inside bucket from Cody Carlson and a baseline jumper from Isiah Brown got WSU to within 81-76 with 1:50 remaining but, with 30 ticks left, BYU's Caleb Lohner grabbed the final of his four offensive rebounds and scored to put the game away at 83-76.
"They stuck to the game plan really well," WSU head coach Randy Rahe said. "Our kids fought their asses off. What I kept telling them is we're never going to flinch.
"Our goal was to come down the stretch and ... put ourselves in position, a four-, five-point game and we're going to find a way to win the game," Rahe continued. "We got to that point, and (BYU) got loose on a post touch and a couple things. We were right where we needed to be, but they made couple plays and we didn't."
Zahir Porter and Seikou Sisoho Jawara led Weber State (3-3) with 16 points apiece, with Porter shooting 4 of 6 from deep. Sisoho Jawara added five assists, four rebounds and two steals.
Dontay Bassett totaled 13 points and two blocks, the big man shooting 3 of 5 from deep, and Brown added 12 points. Carlson and Kozak each netted nine points.
For BYU, Matt Haarms scored 15 points, Averette 13, Alex Barcello 12, and Lohner and Richard Harward 11 each as the Cougars (9-2) exploited their size advantage and depth to wear out Weber inside.
Ultimately, the key stretch may have come in the first half.
Almost every bucket flipped the scoreboard in the first 10 minutes when the game saw three ties and nine lead changes. The first time the margin grew greater than three points came on a Kolby Lee push shot in the paint, followed by an Averette floater that capped an 8-0 run and put BYU ahead 23-16 with 7:55 left in the first frame.
Other than that stretch, both teams competed with solid defense and stuck to their game plans: BYU forcing someone other than Brown to carry the scoring load and Weber, trying to keep BYU from winning the game at the 3-point line.
Both plans largely played out, and each team found counterpunches.
For Weber State, it was Sisoho Jawara finally finding fruits of his offensive game by seeing shots fall, Porter continuing his confident offensive play and Bassett nearing full strength after a minor preseason knee procedure.
Bassett, the 6-foot-9 senior transfer from Florida, got his first start and played alongside Carlson for long stretches — to combat BYU's size, yes, but a show of confidence in Bassett that his presence on the floor will lead WSU to success.
"This was a good game for (Bassett) to start because of their bigs ... but we've got to be able to play those two guys together. They're two really good players," Rahe said. "We'll see where it goes, but they need to be on the floor."
It paid off early when Bassett scored in the post over the 7-foot-3 Haarms, then drained a 3-pointer to make it 7-7 a few minutes in.
"I felt 100% out there, my conditioning felt good," Bassett said. "The coaching staff and training staff did an excellent job ... getting me back on the court and making sure I was acclimated to the small movements that are necessary on the court. I felt like it was pretty good."
BYU's counterpunch was a punishing paint game with Haarms, Lee, Harward and Lohner — and the one time WSU lost a shooter behind the arc.
After the Cougars created their first separation, Porter answered with a 3 for the Wildcats. Then Trevin Knell knocked down a pair of 3s in a stretch of 80 seconds to put BYU up 32-23 with 5:07 left in the first half.
Outside of those two Knell shots, BYU shot 4 of 20 from deep.
Slowly moving back to the Top 25 consideration they enjoyed last season, the Cougars break for the holidays to rest after 11 contests before traveling to an improved Pepperdine team on Dec. 31 to open their WCC schedule.
After only six games, Weber State goes headlong into Big Sky Conference play with a fifth straight contest away from home, a Dec. 31 tilt at Idaho State.
"I asked our staff this morning, 'do we know exactly what our team is right now?'" Rahe said. "We're still not quite there. We're starting to find an identity ... Dontay's back now, so we're going to make some adjustments after Christmas.
"We're going to throw that ball inside, we're not going to see anybody like (BYU) in our league, size-wise, so we've got to start to become a little bit more of an inside-out team. We found that out, that we can be that team ... But we want to have toughness and grit and fight, and I like where we're at with that right now. They're really developing that and a good chemistry."

Happy days, Redmer Yska
I Live Here Now: Sarah Campion in 1950s New Zealand
ed Rachel Scott
Shoal Bay Press, $29.95,
Over the summer of 2000, National Radio was the unlikely backdrop for a rumble over New Zealand in the 1950s. The Fifties File, put together by Jack Perkins, argued that it was the liveliest of decades, strong in the arts and literature; a time of sunny prosperity and certainty after the years of war and depression.
An hour-long Sunday morning programme by lawyer and pundit Steven Price took an opposing view. He argued that our 1950s were far from happy days, where Maori, women and newly-minted teenagers wilted in a barracks-room atmosphere, where the icicles of the Cold War hovered over the new suburbs of Sandringham and the Hutt Valley.
I Live Here Now, Sarah Campion's collection of monthly columns for Home and Building magazine in the 1950s, takes the Perkins route. In that sense it is a useful addition to the debate about what the decade was really like. Nicely crafted and always witty, Campion's "Housewife's Diary" conveys something of the period's sleepiness and Stalinist uniformity. Rarely do external events intrude: many of these dispatches from suburbia on house renovations, tabby cats, and Auckland's weather could have turned up in a 1980s Next editorial.
I myself subscribe to the darker view of the decade. My 1993 book on the period posits a repressive landscape, where young people struggled at home and at school against military discipline and authoritarianism.
It is a shame that Campion shines so little light on the issues we now identify with the times. In a column from 1956, she mentions the reaction of her friends towards the household "labour-saving devices" that symbolised the new prosperity. She writes:
I have a friend who steadily refuses the gift of a vacuum-cleaner on the grounds that she can sweep her wooden floors far more easily with an old-fashioned broom, and far more peacefully without the racket which even the best and the newest of machines creates … I've another friend who won't buy an electric polisher, on the grounds that she gets so worn out running around after it, and can go down on her hands and knees and polish far more satisfactorily to her own individual rhythm without over-heating herself.
Fifteen years of the self-denial and sacrifice associated with the First Labour Government saw a level of (brief) resistance to the liberation. A National Radio talk from 1953, entitled "Is the NZ housewife inefficient?", suggested that many women felt it was "not quite the thing" to take advantage of home appliances:
Perhaps we're too near our pioneering background, and tales of backbreaking washing and cooking orgies still ring in our ears. People who think it's lazy to send your clothes out to the wash, or to use tinned foods, forget that life today is more complex than for our grand-parents.
The Holland Government bounded into power in 1949, its unlovely PM calling for a nation of little capitalists. "Our Sid" judged the mood right: materialism was on the minds of many after years of austerity and rationing, where a permit was still needed for a pint of cream. The worship of the new home appliances reached sickening proportions on quiz shows like It's In the Bag.
Campion arrived here in 1952 as the decade began to brighten up following what seemed like decades of browns, greys and greens. The austerity, the years of cautious restraint were fading as the fabulous prices earned by wool farmers washed millions of quid through the economy. Refrigerators, washing machines and vacuum cleaners began to pour off local production lines in 1953 after years of shortages of raw materials, especially sheet metal and labour. Annual production of fridges in 1950 stood at 13,000; by 1955 the figure had leaped to well over 70,000. Washing machine production, too, quadrupled over this period. Politicians praised the appliances for their ability to heal the uncertainties and power shifts of the postwar years. For the 1954 election, National successfully campaigned under the theme "These Fortunate Isles" where "people are spending more on consumer goods – and there are more to buy."
But many young people felt less than fortunate to live in a land where adults, according to one US commentator, took "an unwarrantedly bitter, unfriendly and punitive attitude towards youth". Adolescents in 1954 were still under the thumb of the adult world, expected to dress like Dad and Mum in the "new brown sportscoat" look that one wag described as "Moscow 1925". As a booming economy gave them jobs and independence, many began to identify with the coming global "teenage" revolution embracing American fashions and musical taste. This desire for separation from the kitchen table, for a more glamorous role as a "consumer trainee", set the scene for the youth explosion of the 1960s.
The behaviour of young people shocked the country during 1954, first the Parker-Hulme matricide in June, then the sex scandals in the Hutt Valley involving dozens of teenagers and a gang of "milkbar cowboys". A media-fuelled public outcry over this "moral chaos" forced a government in election mode into action. A decision was made to hold a lightning inquiry. Distributed to every New Zealand household days before the 1954 election, the so-called Morals Report thundered (without evidence) that adolescent sexual behaviour was on the rise, that teenage girls were more precocious. Laws were passed banning sexy books and films. Condom sales to those under 16 were outlawed.
In the winter of 1955, as Campion began to pen her columns for Home and Building, government officials began purges of American pulp fiction novels from libraries, bookshops, milkbars and dairies. In a few cases, the seized books were burnt. Even a book of poems by Robert Graves was rounded up in a bookshop raid. It was the year the Holland Government hanged four men in Auckland prison, two of them British "teddy boy"-types guilty of crimes of passion. The Executive acted quickly to stamp out the "moral chaos" in its midst. The crimes of the young men were painted as the handiwork of juvenile delinquency; an example had to be made of them.
Ripples from this savagery even reached Campion's suburban bunker. In November 1956, she tells how "little boys have dug deep holes and caverns … and, in a fit of fancy, have put up a hangman's hill complete with gallows and corpse at one end." She mentions a game called "Happy Hangman", then expands on such tedious themes as Twiss the ginger tabby, thunderstorms, and the Kiwi Christmas: "Is 1956 going to go down in history as the year in which New Zealand first faced up to the necessarily antipodean nature of its Christmas?"
Sarah Campion could never be called a slouch. She arrived here aged 46, with 13 novels under her belt. Before marrying Antony Alpers, the Katherine Mansfield scholar, and raising a child, she'd been a London broadcaster, South African housekeeper, Queensland rouseabout and English teacher to Jews trying to flee pre-war Berlin. Maybe she shared in that most powerful impulse of the decade: to find a deckchair after so many stormy years. This was the mission of the returning servicemen, keen to settle down and raise a family. But, as we saw, deeper forces were at work, forces that would drop the postwar world on its head.

Q: Import a specific version of Opencv I have a face detection script running in Flask app on Apache2 server in Raspebrry pi # model B+. Whenever I'm tying to access the app script is looking for Opencv 3.3 version which I already uninstalled and Installed version 4.1.1.
Installed version Opencv:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo python3
Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cv2
>>> cv2.__version__
'4.1.1'
>>>

How to force the script to import Opencv 4.1.1?
myscript.py
#!/usr/bin/python3.5
from flask import Blueprint, render_template, Response
videoStreamBp = Blueprint('videoStream', __name__)

import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)

here I'm getting an error:

import cv2

A: to avoid conflicts between different versions of project dependencies you should use virtual environments.
virtual environments are created mainly for this purpose.

the main purpose of Python virtual environments is to create an isolated environment for Python projects. This means that each project can have its own dependencies, regardless of what dependencies every other project has.

the above quote is taken from this site and I think you should check it out if you need some pointers on how to create and use virtual environments.

Q: PHP code returned, instead of displaying the correct output Good evening to everyone. Let's go straight to the point.
I have a weird client/server configuration, which I have to replicate:
I have an IIS machine (v. 8.5) that is used to run old ASP classic code, and a Linux machine running Apache2, PHP, PostgreSQL.
The IIS machine is the one directly accessible from the web by end users.
It is used to show them the output provided by the Linux server which is the real content provider, but it is physically located on an internal network. I know, it's weird, but I had no part in this ;).
Anyway I should replicate this exact situation on a local machine, and I'm simulating this, using an Ubuntu 15.04 netinst VM on a Windows10 machine. Both the default Apache and php-info page are correctly displayed from the Windows browser.
The asp pages on the IIS are more or less all like this:
Server.ScriptTimeout = 360
Select Case Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD")
Case "GET"  strRequest = Request.QueryString
Case "POST" strRequest = Request.Form
End Select
strURL = "http://LinuxServer/corrispondingDestinationPage.php?" & strRequest
Dim objHTTP
Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, false
objHTTP.send ""
Response.ContentType = objHTTP.getResponseHeader("content-type")
Response.BinaryWrite objHTTP.responseBody
Set objHTTP = Nothing

They should just display the output provided by their php counterparts on the Linux server (mostly user tables and stuff like that). The thing is that on my local reproduction of the system, instead of getting the output, I'm receiving directly the raw php code from my VM. I have previous experience in configuring just standard LAMP servers, so probably I'm missing something on the configuration of both machines, the IIS and the Linux VM. Do I need to install some specific functionalities on IIS, or some specific modules on the Linux machine?
Thank you very much in advance for your time.
Best
GLB
First edit:
I'm just making some tries in order to understand which could be the problem. While experimenting, I've discovered that if I access the php pages directly in the VM, the browser displays part of the php script of the page. If I access the system as it should be (from the IIS index page), instead, I fill a debug variable in order to understand what is going on. In this way the variable fills with the whole raw php code of the page, which is called from the asp page. In every case it seems that the php processor is not functioning as it should.

The ANSI Z136.6 Safe Use of Lasers Outdoors standard has been revised!
This standard provides guidance for the safe use of lasers in an outdoor environment,
including laser products that have been granted a variance — covering products and applications such as laser light shows, lasers used for outdoor scientific research and military lasers. In addition
to addressing injurious levels of optical radiation as in other Z136 standards, ANSI Z136.6 also covers possible indirect hazards such as visual interference that can be caused by exposure to visible
laser radiation, particularly at night.
With the proliferation of handheld portable laser devices available to the public, the threat to aircraft and other vehicles from illumination has increased dramatically. This standard provides
acceptable levels of irradiation in particular defined zones of navigable airspace in order to minimize visual interference to aircrews. These zones were created to reduce illumination levels of
aircrews during critical phases of flight, primarily during takeoff and landing, in response to numerous incidents of aircraft illuminations that have occurred during the past several years.
Development of this standard has been a collaborative effort of members of the SAE G-10 Committee, laser light show industry (including manufacturers), DoD, FDA/CDRH, FAA, NASA, and laser users
including scientists and astronomers. It serves as a companion document to the SAE Aerospace Standard AS4970, 21 CFR 040, FAA Order 7400.2 and related FAA documents, Military Standard 1425A, and
Military Handbook 828B for determining the hazards from outdoor laser operations.
Plans are underway for the 2016 ASC Z136 Annual Meeting. Space has been reserved at NIST Gaithersburg for March 9-11, 2016. The main meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, March 10, with
availability for ancillary meetings to be held on Wednesday and Friday.
Subcommittee chairs, if you are interested in holding a meeting or have an agenda item, please email Barbara Sams at bsams@lia.org or call 407.380.1553.
Observers are welcome! If you would like to attend the ASC Z136 Annual Meeting to have a better understanding of the committee's activities, please contact Barbara for
Outdoor Laser Safety Concerns
illuminations of aircraft are expected to be up significantly this year. From about 3,500 – 4,000 FAA-reported incidents annually during the past four years, there will be about 7,000 incidents in
2015. Of course, handheld consumer lasers have become less expensive and more powerful over the past decade, leading to a general rise in incidents. (There were only 283 reported laser/aircraft
illuminations in all of 2005.) Thus far, no unusual factors stand out in causing the 2015 rise.
Fortunately, the record for outdoor laser safety by responsible, professional users is admirable. The guidelines in ANSI Z136.6 and in related regulations such as FAA's Advisory Circular 70-1 have
resulted in an almost complete absence of pilot complaints about fixed laser installations and laser light shows. The International Laser Display Association is unaware of any issues relating to U.S.
laser light shows in the past decade.
According to ANSI ASC Z136 member Patrick Murphy, who tracks incidents at LaserPointerSafety.com, any solution has to be multifaceted, "It will involve
better labeling and user education, continued arrests, and possibly restrictions on consumer lasers. In addition, it's vital for pilots to be trained in how to mitigate laser effects because there is
always the potential for deliberate or malicious misuse."
Thanks to Patrick Murphy for his contribution to the BLS News & Review. The photo, Outdoor Laser Artwork in Pittsburgh, is courtesy of Lightwave International. The reflected beams going into
airspace were reviewed with no objections by the FAA.
OSHA Seeks Public Comment on New Program
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is updating its Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines and wants your help in shaping the new document.
Intended to help employers establish safety and health management plans at their workplaces, the guidelines were first published in 1989. They are being updated to reflect modern technology and
practices. As revised, the guidelines should be particularly helpful to small- and medium-sized businesses. And for the first time, they address ways in which multiple employers at the same worksite
can coordinate efforts to make sure all workers are protected.
The guidelines are advisory only and do not create any new legal obligations or alter existing obligations under OSHA standards or regulations.
OSHA has made available a draft of the revised document on its website, at www.osha.gov/shpmguidelines, along with a set of questions to consider
when reviewing the guidelines. The page also has a direct link to post comments, which will be accepted until February 15. Comments will be taken into consideration when creating a final set of
guidelines.
"The goal of safety and health management is to prevent workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels.
"Employers who embrace these guidelines will experience lower injury and illness rates, and their progress in improving the safety culture at their worksites will contribute to higher productivity,
reduced costs and greater worker satisfaction."
Featured CLSO: Greta Toncheva
I am Greta Toncheva, CLSO, RRPT, Laser Safety Officer and Health Physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA.
I completed my BS and MS in solid-state physics and optical electronics at Plovdiv University, Bulgaria.
I have been working in the field of laser safety since 2009 and I am now at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA.
How did you become an LSO?
I worked at Duke University for 10 years, the first 2 years I assembled detectors for the Transition Radiation Tracker in the beam line of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland. When that
project was completed, I joined the Duke Radiation Safety group. Most of my time was devoted to research and measurements of whole body and organ dose during diagnostic x-ray procedures using MOSFET
detectors. I was also on the laser safety team conducting hazard evaluations and laser lab inspections. Three years ago, a great opportunity presented itself and I was hired to be the LBNL LSO.
Do you like being the LSO? What challenges come with the job?
I enjoy being a laser safety officer and working at a National Laboratory with cutting-edge research where safety is a highest priority. The constant change in experimental laser setup and
all new laser applications coming into the lab keep me very busy. My customers are not only staff researchers, but also a lot of visitor researchers and young graduate and post-doctoral fellows eager
to demonstrate their bright ideas, but coming from universities with a different than a National lab safety culture.
It is a challenge to bring them up to the high safety standards at a National lab. I know I have done my part well when after helping them, I see their smiling faces. It feels like I am a part of
their success.
How has becoming certified helped you in your career?
Becoming certified was the most gratifying personal accomplishment for me. It gives me confidence and the credibility. I would recommend everyone who is thinking of certifying – just pursue it;
you will be glad you did it.
Featured CMLSO: Richard A. Gama
My name is Richard A. Gama and I am a certified medical laser safety officer and certified surgical technologist with over 32 years of professional operating room experience. I have been involved
with thousands of surgical procedures of all kinds in many states around the country and have always been professionally dedicated to the concept of "Aeger Primo"- The Patient First!
I have attended many laser safety officer training courses over the years from the Beckman Laser Institute, LIA, and ASLMS. I have also attended nearly two-hundred manufacturer sponsored laser
training courses. My initial education began at Moorpark College with an Associate level of study in science and business. I then entered the accredited Simi Valley School of Surgical Technology,
earned a Surgical Technology Diploma in 1983, and became nationally certified.
I currently work for Universal Hospital Services, Inc. (UHS) in the Surgical Services division of the company and serve as the Director of Clinical Services and Training. UHS is a leading national
provider of health care technology management and service solutions to the health care industry.
When did you start working with lasers?
I began working with lasers as a Surgical Technologist in the early Eighties. I became a dedicated health care laser system operator in 1988 and have been working with many kinds of laser systems
for all kinds of medical and surgical procedures ever since.
Like many people, I was asked (voluntold) to become the LSO for company because of my operating room and already extensive laser experience after three years on the job. I attended my first Laser
Institute of America LSO training course in 1991 and immediately began to setup our laser safety program and policies for the company in accordance with the excellent training that I was
provided.
Do you like being the LSO?
I love being the MLSO for our company because it gives me the opportunity to utilize all of my laser training, skills and experiences to create a high-level and compliant laser safety program for
the betterment of workplace and patient safety and treatment outcomes. It is very rewarding to know that I can have a positive impact within our company and the laser health care industry as a result
of my LSO activities.
What are the challenges of LSOs today?
The challenges for LSOs include keeping up on the ever changing and advancing laser technology, the training and education of health care personnel to today's standards, and dispelling the myths
of the past when it comes to safety and laser program compliance. Having the right information and rationale is the key to gaining buy-in from the staff and changing cultures to get on the right
track.
Has becoming certified benefited you in your career?
I became a certified as a medical laser safety officer in 2005 and was one of the first hundred people to do so at that time, of which I am very proud. Becoming certified is no easy task but it
has definitely added value and credibility to my position and career as it is one of the highest credentials that you can have in the field. Being certified is a validation of your skills and
expertise, which compels you to adhere to the highest standards of safety and professional practice. Having a CMLSO on staff is a demonstration of the employer's dedication to worker and patient
safety and high-level standards compliance.

Sun Rebuts Claims it Pried into Brown Family Medical Records
The publishers of The Sun newspaper have rebutted claims – run across the front pages of most of today's press – that the newspaper illegally gained access to the family medical records of former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, which revealed his son had cystic fibrosis.
Says the statement: "We are able to assure the Brown family that we did not access the medical records of their son, nor did we commission anyone to do so."
"The story The Sun ran about their son originated from a member of the public whose family has also experienced cystic fibrosis. He came to The Sun with this information voluntarily because he wanted to highlight the cause of those afflicted by the disease. The individual has provided a written affidavit this afternoon to a lawyer confirming this."
It is understood the member of the public approached The Sun in Scotland. The story ran five years ago.
The statement continues: "On receipt of the information, The Sun approached Mr Brown and discussed with his colleagues how best to present it. Those colleagues provided quotes which were used in the published piece which indicated his consent to it. We believe that the article was written sensitively and appropriately. We are not aware of Mr Brown, nor any of his colleagues to whom we spoke, making any complaint about it at the time.
"The publication of the story and the further responsible, sympathetic and informative coverage The Sun continued to give to the disease resulted in renewed interest for those affected by it. Donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust nearly doubled over the next year.
"We continue to inquire in to other allegations made by Mr Brown, and implore him to provide details to us so we can establish the facts."

This is one of hundreds of portraits Martin made of Osa...she was his favorite film subject for 26 years.
Expedition Background:
Without returning home from their trip to the South Seas in 1919, Martin + Osa Johnson traveled to North Borneo in February of 1920 to film wild animals. Landing in April, and spending a few weeks in the town of Sandakan planning and getting permissions, the Johnson's first "wildlife movie" expedition was finally being realized. With few roads they traveled up river in gobangs (canoes) to reach the island's interior. At the headwaters of North Borneo's largest river, the Kinabatangan, they visited the Tenggara people, filming and photographing their centuries old customs. Martin + Osa traveled 420 miles up river before turning back for Sandakan.
The constant rain and thick jungle canopy was a difficult challenge for Martin and Osa, who had never attempted wildlife photography before. Along the coastal lowlands around the city of Sandakan they were able to film elephants, buffalo and other animals. The result of their efforts was the movie "Jungle Adventures," which premiered in September 1921 to glowing reviews. The quality and commercial success of this film is what first drew the attention of Carl Akeley and the American Museum of Natural History to their work, and a budding partnership was in the works that changed the trajectory of their career and set them on their path to the African continent that would be their only real "home" for the next 15 years.
Leaving Sandakan in July, they voyaged to Singapore, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and southern India, then continued west circumnavigating the globe. The Johnsons finally arrived home to Kansas nearly two years after they had left.

June 2016 saw the largest ever democratic vote in the UK With "leave" leading by nearly 1.4 million votes.
When Theresa may's deal doesn't get voted through the commons, how do you think the UK Should proceed?
Any calls for another referendum should be shut down and resisted.
When the deal fails there will be extra pressure for a new referendum, or the possibility in a no confidence vote in the government. Unless the Torys just run down the clock to 29 March then there is an increasing possibility it all gets scrapped as parliament doesn't have a No Deal majority, and a second referendum is anyone's guess.
Not to say I want another ref, in fact I wouldn't vote if there was one. For ardent leavers, your best bet is the government does the above and runs down the clock.
A new referendum with everyone knowing the implications this time.
Sure give up your competitive advantage within the single market, and throw way potentially 60% of your trade.
So you can compete against the US/china, to sell goods the EU on the same terms as them.
And do that for markets like canada + USA that make up tiny amounts of trade for the UK.

Baby Girl. Sunday , January 06th , 2019 - 19:03:07 PM.
A baby is predicted but first there'll be a shower! The first couple of weeks and in some instances months, babies must be nourished and nurtured on their very own schedule. Little babies are filled with this much fun! Consider anything that the mom might need with a different kid. A new child is just one of life's best blessings from above. Although, some parents do not pick the theme in advance. You will be great parents.
Perhaps you're seeking to have a shower that's a little different from the conventional route. When it has to do with planning baby showers for your relative or close friends, then a good deal of innovative baby shower party ideas can be discovered on a number of internet websites.

Famine 'largest humanitarian crisis in history of UN'
UN humanitarian chief says 20 million people in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria face starvation and famine.

UN definition of famine
When more than 30 percent of children under age five suffer from acute malnutrition
Mortality rates are two or more deaths per 10,000 people every day
The world faces the largest humanitarian crisis since the United Nations was founded in 1945 with more than 20 million people in four countries at risk of starvation and famine, the UN humanitarian chief has said.
Stephen O'Brien told the UN Security Council on Friday that "without collective and coordinated global efforts, people will simply starve to death" and "many more will suffer and die from disease".
He urged an immediate injection of funds for Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and northeast Nigeria plus safe and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid "to avert a catastrophe".
"To be precise," O'Brien said, "we need $4.4bn by July".
READ MORE: Dying of hunger - What is a famine?
Without a major infusion of money, he said, children will be stunted by severe malnutrition and will not be able to go to school, gains in economic development will be reversed and "livelihoods, futures and hope will be lost".
UN and food organisations define famine as when more than 30 percent of children under age five suffer from acute malnutrition and mortality rates are two or more deaths per 10,000 people every day, among other criteria.
"Already, at the beginning of the year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the United Nations," O'Brien said. "Now, more than 20 million people across four countries face starvation and famine."
O'Brien said the largest humanitarian crisis is in Yemen where two-thirds of the population - 18.8 million people - need aid and more than seven million people are hungry and do not know where their next meal will come from.
"That is three million people more than in January," he said.
The Arab world's poorest nation is engulfed in conflict and O'Brien said more than 48,000 people fled fighting just in the past two months.
READ MORE: 'My children are starving to death' in Yemen
During his recent visit to Yemen, O'Brien said he met senior leaders of the government and the Houthi rebels who control the capital Sanaa, and all promised access for aid.
"Yet all parties to the conflict are arbitrarily denying sustained humanitarian access and politicise aid," he said, warning if that behaviour does not change now "they must be held accountable for the inevitable famine, unnecessary deaths and associated amplification in suffering that will follow".
For 2017, O'Brien said $2.1bn is needed to reach 12 million Yemenis "with life-saving assistance and protection" but only six percent has been received so far. He announced that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will chair a pledging conference for Yemen on April 25 in Geneva.
The UN humanitarian chief also visited South Sudan, the world's newest nation, which has been ravaged by a three-year civil war, and said "the situation is worse than it has ever been", the AP news agency reported.
"The famine in South Sudan is man-made," he said. "Parties to the conflict are parties to the famine - as are those not intervening to make the violence stop."

O'Brien said more than 7.5 million people need aid, up by 1.4 million from last year, and about 3.4 million South Sudanese are displaced by fighting including almost 200,000 who have fled the country since January.

"More than one million children are estimated to be acutely malnourished across the country, including 270,000 children who face the imminent risk of death should they not be reached in time with assistance," he said. "Meanwhile, the cholera outbreak that began in June 2016 has spread to more locations."
In Somalia, which O'Brien also visited, more than half the population - 6.2 million people - need humanitarian assistance and protection, including 2.9 million who are at risk of famine and require immediate help "to save or sustain their lives".
He warned that close to one million children under the age of five will be "acutely malnourished" this year.
READ MORE: Famine stalks Somalia again
"What I saw and heard during my visit to Somalia was distressing - women and children walk for weeks in search of food and water. They have lost their livestock, water sources have dried up and they have nothing left to survive on," O'Brien said. "With everything lost, women, boys, girls and men now move to urban centres."
The humanitarian chief said current indicators mirror "the tragic picture of 2011 when Somalia last suffered a famine".
But he said the UN's humanitarian partners have a larger footprint, better controls on resources, and a stronger partnership with the new government which recently declared the drought a national disaster.
"To be clear, we can avert a famine," O'Brien said. "We're ready despite incredible risk and danger ... but we need those huge funds now."
In northeast Nigeria, a seven-year uprising by the armed group Boko Haram has killed more than 20,000 people and driven 2.6 million from their homes.
A UN humanitarian coordinator said last month that malnutrition in the northeast is so pronounced that some adults are too weak to walk and some communities have lost all their toddlers.

Lusaka is the largest city in the Republic of Zambia with a population of 1.8 million. It serves as Zambia's capital and the country's commercial center. The city is located in the agricultural region of central Zambia and is connected through train and road to all major parts of the country.
The British government founded Lusaka in 1913 as a remote outpost for British administrators and farmers. The Soli People were the original inhabitants of the land but in the 1890s the British South African Company seized the territory which had been called "Lusaaka" in honor of the old Soli state.
The majority of Lusaka's residents were European or Asian. Indigenous Africans who worked in the city were forced to live in compounds on the outskirts of town or immediately next to their place of employment. Their wives and children were not allowed to live with them or accompany them into the city. The racial hierarchy of Lusaka emphasized white authority and black inferiority in a colony where blacks outnumbered whites ten to one.
By the time Zambia gained independence in 1964, indigenous Africans were allowed to live in the city but mostly in slums. Upon independence the new Zambian government built "council-houses" to accommodate black residents, many of whom worked for the government or in the copper industry. Public utilities were installed and these houses represented a vast improvement compared to homes built for blacks during the colonial era.

Un toup (également appelé toop, prao toop ou perahu toop) est un type de grand voilier malais construit dans les Indes orientales entre le  plus grand qu'un padewakang et possédant un gréement mixte local et européen, contrairement au padewakang à voile tanja.

Il possède deux à trois mâts gréés en voile tanja, au tiers ou à corne. Ce type de bateau, proche d'un chasse marée occidental avec des voiles au tiers hautes et étroites, est couramment utilisé pour le cabotage et les expéditions sur de longue distance.

Historique

Apparu à la fin du  et construit dans des chantiers navals locaux, ce type de bateau est l'un des résultats de l'incorporation des technologies «occidentales» et «nusantaran» qui ont débuté dans les chantiers navals des sociétés de négoce européennes des . Dans la première moitié du , ce type de bateau de cabotage est le plus utilisé par les marins et les commerçants à Nusantara dont la majorité appartiennent à des marchands de la région ouest de Nusantara.

Des toups à coque occidentale ont été utilisés par les Néerlandais pour être armé en navire de guerre dans cette région.

Description

Gréement
Un toup possède deux à trois mâts constitués d'un élément unique qui a été renforcé avec des haubans similaires aux attachements des mâts européens. Ce type de bateau pouvait être équipé parfois aussi des rames.

C'est l'hybridation qui caractérise le toup et le distingue du padewakang. Le gréement du toup est un mélange de typologie locale (voile tanja, parfois lattées de bambou) et européenne (grande voile au tiers, voile à corne ou à livarde), proche d'un chasse marée.

Le gréement est le même sur le grand-mât et le mât de misaine (pour les trois-mâts), grée avec de grande voiles trapézoïdales tanja ou au tiers. Le mât d'artimon généralement grée avec une voile à corne.

À l'avant le toup est équipé de focs de style européen, jusqu'à quatre fixés au beaupré.

Coque
La plupart de ces bateaux sont fabriqués en utilisant la même technique que ceux utilisés pour construire des navires européens : Fixation de la charpente à la quille avant la fixation du bordage extérieur. La coque dispose d'un tableau arrière et la forme de la coque est plus similaire aux voiliers européens qu'aux bateaux Nusantarans, cependant, différentes illustrations et descriptions ont montré des variations de la coque :
 Il existe des coques de type européen, avec des poupes rectangulaires et un gouvernail central ;
 il existe des bateaux à proue similaires aux navires européens, mais utilisant un double gouvernail latéral et un pont arrière similaire à un padewakang.

Capacité et taille
La capacité de charge est d'environ 40 à 60 koyans (96,8 à 145 tonnes métriques), la plus grande étant de 100 koyans (241,9 tonnes métriques).

Les Bugis, utilisent un type préférentiellement de toup proche d'un padewakang. Les toups sont de grande taille que les padewakang et utilisés chez les Bugis que pour le commerce. Ils disposent de deux à trois mâts avec un gréement est de style européen, et qui porte une sorte de voile à livarde.

Annexe
Certains d'entre eux ont également remorqué un sloop derrière qui pourrait transporter tout l'équipage et charger et décharger le bateau sans quai.

Company Is "Local, Whole Grain And Friendly"

Ted Shares Emails And Tasty Seed Ideas
By Patty Milligan
Martin Munchies is pushing the envelope when it comes to the world of snack foodandthe world of barley. In the spring of 2010, the crunchy whole grain barley clusters debuted at two Edmontonarea farmers' markets.
Lesley Kelly is the development and marketing force behind Martin Munchies. Though she grew up on a farm, she never imagined being involved with farming. She pursued a career in business, obtaining a degree in commerce from the University of Saskatchewan, but ended up using her education to work in the agricultural sector — at Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Cargill AgHorizons, Alberta Treasury Branch, and most recently at the Farm Credit Corporation. Using skills developed through her agribusiness career, Kelly has spent the last five years developing Martin Munchies from an idea into reality.
Kelly set out to create a wholesome, tasty snack food from the barley grown on her dad's 4,500-acre farm near Watrous, Saskatchewan. Her father, Garnet Martin, an innovator always looking for new ways to add value to the farm, had approached her with the idea in 2006. He had met Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research scientist Dr. Nancy Ames at a conference, and when she suggested using barley as a snack food, his curiosity was sparked.
Dr. Ames is based at the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals at the University of Manitoba, where she's currently conducting clinical trials to establish a health claim in Canada for barley. Some barley varieties contain a high amount of beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that helps lower cholesterol and plays a role in glycemic response. Ames' goal is to test under what circumstances — given the variety of barley grown as well as the methods of growing, milling and processing — these health benefits can consistently be delivered to the consumer.
Because barley is not that familiar to Canadian consumers as a food, when Ames first began her research she had to either invent something like the barley flour tortilla or have her research scientists try to add barley into preexisting products.
Today she is dedicated to the development of foods that fully harness barley's unique properties, and is encouraged when products like Martin Munchies appear on the market, inspired by her scientific work.
To her, it's fantastic that smaller companies like this have stepped in to develop the niche market. Multinational food companies have expressed interest to Ames in developing barley products, but she says that if the project doesn't fit within very narrow parameters, they won't pursue it. For now, educating consumers about barley's potential as food and expanding the market for barley products rests on the shoulders of companies like Martin Munchies.
Though Kelly suspects that widespread consumer acceptance of barley as a food won't develop until companies like Kellogg's or General Mills champions it, she's happy with her pioneering role. She invented a snack that used the whole barley, and secured funding through the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership as well as through Growing Forward, to develop and launch the product.
But how do you invent a snack? Kelly chose not to go with a granola bar because that market is saturated. She thought a crunch-type snack food would be too hard to eat. She finally settled on what she calls "a healthy Clodhopper" — barley in clusters. Though clustering the barley adds to the cost of production (they must be formed by hand), Kelly felt that it was a new way of eating grain that would be easy and fun — quite different from eating either a granola bar or bagful of kernels.
To figure out how to make and flavour the clusters, Kelly turned to the food centre at the University of Saskatchewan. Using micronized barley (which is pleasantly crunchy and nutty), staff turned out more than 100 samples for Kelly to pass out to friends and colleagues for tasting. She kept charts of the responses and settled on four flavours, hoping to expand this number as the company grows. Final tweaking took place at the Food Processing Development Centre in Leduc, Alberta.
Martin Munchies was launched to the public last year at City Market in Edmonton and Sherwood Park Farmers' Market. She says the reception was great, many people wanting to know where they could get more.
Currently Martin Munchies is concentrating on building sales in Alberta and Saskatchewan, through trade shows, specialty shops, farmers' markets and online. The next step, Kelly says, will be to expand into B.C. As the company grows, what's most important to Lesley Kelly is that "we're local, whole grain and friendly."

Marysville-Pilchuck shooting survivor leads 'Walk of Strength'
Originally published October 24, 2015 at 10:43 am Updated October 26, 2015 at 4:18 pm
With many dressed in the school colors of red and white, the M-P community gathered Saturday to remember what's been lost and to hold on to what remains.
Paige Cornwell
Nate Hatch blended in with Marysville-Pilchuck students and community members as they all climbed onto the high school's bleachers Saturday morning. Sitting with family and friends, he watched and listened as a moment of silence was observed at 10:39 a.m., and when many sang along as the loudspeakers played "Lean on Me."
Hatch still bears the scars from Oct. 24, 2014, the day his cousin took out a gun in the school cafeteria and fatally shot four students and himself. Zoe Galasso, Gia Soriano, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Andrew Fryberg were killed.
Hatch, now 15, was the only survivor. His mother, Denise Hatch, said he's doing well but will need additional surgeries on his jaw.
Many people from the Marysville-Pilchuck community want to make sure that their school and community aren't solely defined by the tragedy on October 24, 2014. So we asked our readers what's one thing that happened this past year that they want Marysville-Pilchuck High School or the community to be remembered for. Here are some of their responses.
With many dressed in the school colors of red and white, hundreds from the M-P community gathered Saturday to remember what's been lost and to hold on to what remains.
Following a brief ceremony, the crowd went quiet at 10:39 a.m., the minute Jaylen Fryberg, a freshman, shot his friends.
Later, Hatch led the gathering on a "Walk of Strength" around the outside of the school and students planted red and white tulip bulbs in dirt beds next to the football field. Many wore "MP Strong" T-shirts. Others wore shirts and bandannas with photos of the victims. The Hatch family wore shirts that read "Nate Strong."
The ceremony and walk were meant to bring those affected together, though students were encouraged to grieve in whatever way they felt was right, said district counselor Josh Webb.
"What is beneficial for students is what they feel is beneficial," Webb said. "Some may go out of town, some may want to be social."
Most of the relatives of the students who were killed said they weren't planning on attending the memorial event. At least one family traveled out of the state.
In the week leading up to the one-year mark, some students and teachers said they were nervous about how they would feel on the actual day. Sophomore Bailey Nelson said the week was more difficult than she had anticipated.
"It's rough, way worse than I thought it was going to be," she said. "I don't think there is anything you can do to prepare."
Twelve counselors were at the school Friday in case students and teachers needed to talk, Webb said. There also were staff available in case any teacher needed to leave class for time to reflect. There were few absences, he said.
"I think there is a lot of anxiety the week leading up to it, and then they realize on that day, 'Hey, I can still do this,' " Webb said.
The one-year mark also provided a sense, teacher Nate McClellan said, that the community can endure. "We made it this far, now we can keep going," he said.
Nelson recalled students coming together in a similar way just after the shooting. They've all grown a lot since then, she said.
"It changed my world," she said. "It's changed my normal. But it can only get better."

Original Tall Blacks and Tall Ferns recognised with First Star Award
Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) took great delight in presenting the Murray McMahon Award (Notable Contribution in Men's Basketball in NZ) to Noel Hayman at their awards evening earlier this year.
Hayman, one of the pre-eminent players in New Zealand in the post-war years, was the captain of the first ever Tall Blacks team selected in 1947. The feat is something BBNZ wants to acknowledge along with his teammates from that side.
Following the awards, BBNZ determined that all members of our first Tall Blacks and Tall Ferns teams will be recognised as recipients of the First Star Award (this award is not part of the official awards list as it is only presented to inaugural members of the national teams).
The 1947 team was selected following the National Championships that were held in Wellington and won by Auckland.
The full team was:
Noel Hayman ©
Geoff Milne
Len Larsen
Blake Remmers (Wellington)
Stan Hunt
Mike Wilson (Auckland)
Jack Blumont
Roy Steele (Palmerston North)
Noel Roydhouse (Otago)
Don Beard (Wanganui)
Stan Hunt was the first member of the 1947 team to collect a First Star Award when he received his earlier this year prior to his passing.
He played predominantly for Auckland and PYCC, but also enjoyed a spell with Otago while studying at Otago University.
On top of playing until he was 70, Hunt also passed his love for the game on to his son, Stephen, who after playing remained active in coaching school and rep teams until his mid-60s.
Hunt was presented with his First Star Award at a family gathering in July and by all accounts proceeded to reminisce about the pleasure he had from playing basketball.
The first New Zealand Women's National team was selected in 1949 and led by Dot Swabe. The diminutive guard also captained the New Zealand softball team in the same year.
Dot Swabe © (Palmerston North)
Phyliss Abernathy
Violet Farrell (Wellington)
Roma Ropeha (Canterbury)
Dorothy Birks (Hawkes Bay)
Joan Farmer
Betty Newey (Canterbury)
Olive Hepples (Auckland)
M Watkins (Wellington)
Jane Rewcastle (Southland)
Wellington representative, Violet Farrell, was another dual international having played cricket for New Zealand.
Roma Ropeha played her representative basketball for Canterbury. Daughters Leone Patterson and Lynnette Bradnam also played for the Tall Ferns. Patterson is one of just nine players to have represented the Tall Ferns on over 100 occasions.
Dot Birks daughter, Di Robertson, went on to captain New Zealand and in 2010 was inducted into the Hawke's Bay Sports Hall of Fame.
Unfortunately, BBNZ has been unable to contact all members of the original Tall Blacks and Tall Ferns and is now seeking the help of the country's basketball community.
If you or someone you know could help with contacting a member of either side or their family, we please ask that you pass on that information to David Huxford so that they can recognised with a First Star Award.
Although the Tall Black and Tall Ferns nomenclature was not introduced officially until many years later, as these were the original New Zealand representatives the national organisation has recognised these players as the first Tall Blacks and Tall Ferns.

As the story begins you learn 16 year old Lacy has recently lost her Father. She continues to live with her Stepmother, Anna who she has developed a close relationship with over the years. Lacy and Anna now live alone with their cat Mr. Murm. Lacy receives a sudden and very unexpected visit from her real Mother, Cheyenne. With this also comes an evil Lacy knows all too well. Cheyenne demands that "her daughter" leaves with her at once, moving away from Anna, her friends, the city she loves and even her cat. Having no other choice legally, Lacy goes with her Mom to live in Sacramento. A dark past with her Mother has lead Lacy to hate Cheyenne. There always has been darkness within her Mother, and Lacy knows better to trust her Mother again.
Both Lacy and her Mother are witches. Lacy is and needs to be a good witch. She uses plants for spells, adores science and botany and tries hard to help others. Her Mother is the total opposite, only doing things for the good of herself, and more so hiding the evil that lies within her.
As Lacy spend more and more time with her Mother things around are beginning to feel "off". Little things really, a tea her Mother gives her that makes Lacy sleepy, a garden that kills everything that Lacy plants, all except her Mother's flowers. Now starting out at a new school Lacy finds herself being tormented right away. Mean girl, Olive finds things to pick on Lacy about, being the new girl and a witch is never easy. The unexpected happens and a really hot guy from her school begins to flirt with her and even asks her out. Deciding to give it a go, Lacy finds herself really falling for this guy until "something" bad happens to ruin it all.
....but to find out what, read the book!
Of course there is a LOT more to the story than that but I don't want to spoil it for everyone (I hope I haven't already). One of the many things I loved about this book was LACY herself. I really loved her character, everything thing about her. She's edgy, strong-willed, smart, loyalty, and more than anything she's a witch. She's had such a hard life but fights to stay afloat. The way she "handled" all of the tough decisions she was forced to make in the book and decided how she wanted to live her life was what made Lacy kick-a$$ witch she is.
The whole story while short, a mere 184 pages, really packed a "epic" punch! I was hooked from page one. There was magic, betrayal, good vs evil, and a frenzy of excitement. I couldn't flip the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next. I fell instantly in love with When My Heart Was Wicked and I can't wait to find out what other books author Tricia Stirling has coming out next!
