please, how can a rotate 90 degrees 4 layers (portrait to landscape) simultaneously. Changing the document to 'Landscape' in 'Document properties' doesn't do anything? Rotating by hand will work for one layer, but not for the other layers (as I am drawing a map). Can you help? Is it possible?
Using the Layers dialog (Layer menu > Layers...) you can hide layers. So you would hide all the layers that you don't want to transform. Then use Edit menu > Select All in All Layers. And then Object menu > Rotate 90 (or control bar button or key shortcut).
Note that you might also need to change the page size and/or orientation, depending on how you ultimately plan to use the image.
Use the Rotate tab, plunk in 90 deg and make sure you un-check "Apply to each object separately"
Or you could Group them instead. Select them all, then Object menu > Group (or command bar button or key shortcut). After grouping them, they'll behave as a whole. Either way works just as well.


Elegant, striking and fashionable are a few things that may cross your mind when you look at a saree, and rightly so. Wearing a saree takes some courage and some expertise, especially if you are new to the art of draping a saree. But before you can go on to learn the process of draping one, you will need to pick one! Is it going to be a Kanjeevaram saree or a Banarasi saree? Would you prefer it in georgette or silk? And how do you think you should accessorise? All these questions may seem like a lot, but don't you worry, for we have all the deets you need on saree types, designer sarees, saree draping, types of saree material, and more. Read on!
The oldest unstitched piece of garment in history, the saree has been around since before the Indus Valley Civilisation. After several changes that led to its evolution, the saree reached the stage as we see it today near the Mughal Period in India. A number of rich influences, design techniques and much more came together to give us the quintessential garment we crave in our wardrobes.
We live in a vast country and so it's only natural that each region and state has something of its own to contribute. Same is the case when it comes to sarees. With various states and regions contributing in offering us gorgeous types of sarees, there are multiple options to look at and shop. Go on, take a look!
Deriving its name from the city of Banaras, also known as Varanasi, Banarasi sarees are considered a staple outfit in a bride's trousseau. The woven intricacies of popular motifs and booties make it an exceptionally beautiful saree to don, complete with the delicate feel of the silk fabric. A traditional silk Banarasi saree is available in several colours, ranging from the popular red, which is considered to be an auspicious colour in Hindu weddings, to the more subtle yellow, pink and many more.
Any of us would easily be able to spot an Ikat pattern, no matter how far away. The Sambalpuri saree incorporates the famous tie and dye pattern that is Ikat and is made exclusively in Orissa, getting its name from the city of Sambalpur. The tie and dye process takes place on the yarns, which are then woven to make them into the Sambalpuri saree, a subtle yet striking type of saree.
Handwoven and made from very fine silk, these sarees that are made primarily in Aurangabad in Maharashtra are known to be extremely rich and elegant and are often used as bridalwear. The main components of it are silk and zari, which go on to give this saree a rich look and a gold accent. Motifs derived from nature and inspired by the flora around us can be seen on these gorgeous sarees.
Made in the Kanchipuram region in Tamil Nadu, Kanjeevaram sarees are made using pure mulberry silk. The legends in mythology also state that the first Kanjeevaram saree was made from yarn from the lotus flower by Sage Markandeya who was the weaver for the Gods.
Their geographical region makes them a popular choice of bridal attire in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, though Kanjeevaram sarees are extremely popular and worn all over the country. Checks, stripes, and motifs inspired by nature are found to be a mainstay in a typical Kanjeevaram saree.
If you are looking for something unique, this saree type is the one you ought to pick. Muga silk is made from very fine silk obtained from the Muga silkworm, which is found only in Assam and nowhere else in the world, making it one of the rarest kind of fibres used to make a saree. Rich embroideries and natural motifs can be seen on a traditional Muga silk saree.
We have all heard of the famous town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, known for producing a type of saree that is known by the same name. Made in silk, cotton or Chanderi cotton, Chanderi sarees have been around since the Mughal period, and one look at them will tell you why they continue to be extremely popular even today. Geometric patterns, floral and traditional motifs are found in abundance on this saree, one that is bound to make you look beautiful on all occasions.
Pre-stitched saree, as the name suggests, is a saree that is stitched and ready to wear, as opposed to the traditional 6 yards of saree which is draped. For girls who are new to wearing a saree or have a hard time draping one, a pre-stitched saree serves as an excellent option, one you can wear effortlessly and isn't time-consuming.
A gorgeous mix of the Indian and the western, a saree gown incorporates the best of both worlds. Usually marked by a gown-like silhouette and drapes that are inspired by the saree, a saree gown is a perfect pick for a cocktail function or a party.
Widely popular and worn in South India, a half-saree is a traditional outfit that is generally worn by young girls. The main components of a half-saree are a skirt and a saree-like drape or a pallu, along with the blouse. Unlike the conventional saree, the half-saree is stitched together, making it an easier option for wearing.
When it comes to wearing a saree, the material from which it is made is of utmost importance. The best saree material is one which not only looks striking but also feels super comfortable for you to carry effortlessly. Whether you are going for a sheer look or a crisp look with the help of a synthetic fabric, there are many types to saree materials to look at.
A natural fibre that is usually woven to form a saree, silk is a popular material when it comes to picking up a saree. It is well-known for its shine or lustre and its smooth feel. Worn at gatherings, weddings and a number of functions in India, a silk saree is a beautiful and timeless option.
You must have heard the word crepe, which refers to a synthetic fabric known for its crimped appearance. Ranging from silk crepe to plain-weave crepe, the fabric has a number of variations, making it an apt choice for saree material. Not only this, the fabric has an excellent drape, and a great feel- the essential factors required in a saree.
Literally translating to the word 'rag' in French, chiffon is a plainly woven sheer fabric that is lightweight and comes with a smooth texture. Its lightness makes it a great option as a type of saree material, and it is commonly used in making the same. It is also softer and thinner than georgette, a relatively similar fabric.
Perhaps the best strength of georgette, when looked at as a type of saree material, is that it drapes beautifully and gives way to a great fall. In a departure from chiffon, it has a grainy feel and is slightly heavier than chiffon. It is also known to rip, so it is important that it is worn with care.
In contrast to the basic saree that can be worn on a day-to-day basis is a designer saree. Carrying key design elements like embroidery, delicate prints, embellishment, beads, handwork and traditional as well as modern elements, a designer saree can be worn on any grand event, be it a family function, a wedding, a pre-wedding ceremony or a party where you need to be dressed in ethnic wear. With a number of leading designers and brands making latest versions of the 6 yards, you can easily get your hands on a designer saree for your next big outing. Not only is a designer saree fashionable and pretty, but it is also bound to leave a mark.
Draping a saree is no mean feat, especially if you are new to the quintessential 6 yards. There are various ways in which a saree can be draped, with styles of draping varying in different regions in India. Be it the famous Nauvari drape adorned by Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in Bajirao Mastani, the popular Assamese Mekhela Chadar, or the beautiful Santhal drape from Jharkhand, you have plenty of styles to look at when it comes to the art of saree draping. A basic, classic style, however, has the same essential tips, come what may. Here's a breakdown of the steps to draping a saree like a pro.
Step 1. Make sure you are wearing a petticoat that matches to the colour of your saree. A petticoat is basically a skirt with a drawstring, that acts as an underskirt for your saree.
Step 2. Pick a comfortable option that you can wear without feeling hassled.
Step 3. Once you have worn your petticoat and the blouse, tuck your saree into your petticoat and take it around once.
Step 4. When the base is secure, create even-sized pleats and tuck them collectively together into the front of the saree.
Step 5. Bring the pallu over your left shoulder and pin it, either creating pleats from the pallu or letting it flow freely.
There are many other tricks when it comes to wearing a saree in different ways, with different styles and types of drapes. If you have already mastered the trick of wearing the saree with a basic drape (congrats, girl!) go for different styles of drapes to give your saree an all new look. You can read about different styles of saree draping here.
Jewellery with traditional roots is commonly worn in grand functions or weddings in India. Be it gold jewellery, polki jewellery, or diamond jewellery, there are numerous styles you can rely on while looking for accessories and jewellery to pair with your saree. Here are some of the popular choices you will want to look at while choosing from traditional jewellery options.
Ever seen your mom wearing a nose ring or the nath? It's a major part of the traditional trousseau of an Indian woman. Elegant and graceful, the nose ring, nose pin or nath, call it what you may, is an excellent choice of jewellery.
It is very unlikely that you will forget the bindi while donning a traditional saree. A graceful addition to your attire, a bindi can be small or huge, plain or colourful, embellished, round or in different designs. Either way, it's bound to bring with it a new, beautiful look to your saree.
Worn on the forehead, a maang tika is an elegant piece of jewellery that is generally worn by brides and brides-to-be on their wedding functions. However, these days, a simple maang tika is also worn by guests at weddings and other party functions.
Remember toe rings? Bet you do! They are stylish accessories worn by women around the world. In case you want to bring a bit of bling to your look, opt for gold or silver toe rings with precious or semi-precious stones.
Be it a layered necklace, an opulent necklace with precious stones, or a traditional necklace, this jewellery type looks excellent with a saree, giving a gorgeous look to your overall attire. Speaking of earrings, jhumkas, chandelier earrings and ear studs are all the rage and add emphasis to your saree.
Not big on traditional jewellery and looking to wear something different instead? Statement jewellery to the rescue! Go the stylish route with pendants, chains, rings, hair accessories and more.
Add a waist belt to your saree to give it a desi chic look. It's also a great way to cinch the waist. A classic black leather belt or a cloth one to match your saree, there's a lot to experiment with. You could even borrow your mom's kamarband if going the extra mile with your accessory is what you have in mind.
Be it a stylish clip, or an embellished hairband, a statement hair accessory can uplift your look if your saree is simple. If it's a wedding you're attending, go with a quirky maangtika to stand out!
The fact that a saree requires to be pinned up in certain parts is common knowledge, but you can also use it to your advantage! Look for elaborate pins that go well with your saree, or add a fashionable brooch on the side for a unique look.
One can never leave home without their phone, cash, cards and lipstick! And your regular handbag is not a great option when wearing a saree. Carry an ethnic potli, a stylish embellished clutch or pretty sling, depending on what goes with your saree best.
If you are wearing a saree for the first time, there are some pointers and tips you need to keep in mind. Take a look at the do's and don'ts of wearing a saree right.
1. Swap your flats with heels. Heels give a better fall to your saree.
2. Pin it at the pleats and pallu to avoid the hassle of fixing it all the time.
3. Make sure the length of your petticoat is just right. It should not be shorter or longer than the saree and should match the colour perfectly.
4. Do wear your heels before you start tying the saree.
1. Don't wear an ill-fitting bra that you might feel uncomfortable in.
2. Don't create uneven pleats that look out of place in your saree.
3. Don't go overboard with accessories while looking for jewellery and statement pieces to match your saree.
Ready to choose your favourite type of saree and drape it the right way then?!

FCC Support for Hackable Wireless Routers Is a Win for All of Us
By Dan Gillmor
Aug 25, 20161:16 PM
A round of applause for the Federal Communications Commission. Here, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler speaks at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona.

It's increasingly dawning on people that they don't really own a lot of the goods they buy, not in a world where software is infiltrating everything and can be modified at the whim of the seller. Amazon can remove books people have "purchased" for their Kindles. Apple decides what software you're allowed to load on an iPhone. Coffee-machine companies try to prevent customers from using competitive refills. And our legislators and regulators rarely seem to notice, much less block, such control-freakery.
So it's a breath of fresh air when the government steps in and tells a manufacturer it should allow, even encourage, customers to modify devices that most of us use in our homes and businesses: Wi-Fi routers that let us do our computing and communications without being tethered to a wire.
That just happened in a case at the Federal Communications Commission, and it's a very, very good thing. If ever we needed the ability to modify a device by changing the software it shipped with, it's this one. Many if not most routers are grossly insecure. Installing third-party operating software (sometimes called firmware) is sometimes the only way to plug gaping security holes. Moreover, changing the firmware can radically improve a router's overall capabilities, such as creating community networks in places Big Telecom is slow to serve, and ensuring local communications in disasters. One of the most important community networks in the world, Guifi.net, in Spain's Catalonia region, wouldn't exist without hackable routers.
Last year, router maker TP-Link started locking down a Wi-Fi router that users had modified. When asked to explain this, the company blamed the FCC. People who believe in open technology—hardware and software that users can modify, as opposed to things that manufacturers totally control—became a bit panicked, especially because it seemed possible that the FCC was in fact encouraging such lockdowns.
Much to the activists' relief, it now appears that this was a false alarm. While it's entirely possible that routers could someday become impossible to modify (or at least it could someday be illegal for users to modify them), that day hasn't arrived—and under current FCC policy it's not going to happen. The case, settled in what's called a "consent decree," turned out to be even more important in the end, because it made clear that the regulators were moving in the right direction, with an expansive, not restrictive view of customer rights.
I won't get into the details of the FCC's agreement with TP-Link, but here's a short summary. (For this, I'm relying on the superior depth in these matters of Harold Feld, senior vice president at Public Knowledge, a Washington-based organization that promotes free speech and an open Internet.)
The FCC had cracked down on TP-Link for violating rules regarding another aspect of router function, in which a device could push out radio waves that might interfere with other devices. So TP-Link just locked down everything in the software, which solved the initial problem but went far beyond what was necessary. But the company essentially blamed the FCC for what it had done. That, combined with a disturbingly worded FCC proposed rule, looked like bad news for the tinkerers of the world.
Open technology advocates responded with entreaties to the FCC including a "Save WiFi" campaign to prevent what they worried would become a general lockdown of not just these devices but just about anything else with a radio in it. People sent comments to the FCC begging the commissioners to recognize the value of modifiable technology.
Meanwhile, several other router companies said they weren't contemplating the same move as TP-Link. Linksys, which makes a popular model used by many in the open-source world, said it was going to meet the FCC's standards for power output and frequencies, but wasn't going to stop people from otherwise modifying those models.
The issue was settled firmly, at least for now, in the FCC's Aug. 1 consent decree in the TP-Link case. The agency required the company to acknowledge that it wasn't required to lock down the software beyond preventing people from making what could be specific, potentially dangerous changes to frequencies the routers emit. Moreover, Feld points out, TP-Link is obliged to "work with the FCC to develop a means to meet the security requirement and support 3rd party software, particularly open source software."
Feld, on a private mailing list (he gave me permission to quote this), said the lessons from this case are important. The FCC has made it clear that it supports third-party and open-source software. The agency has responded in a heartening way to the open-source community. And there seems to be a shift under way in the FCC's fundamental culture, if a modest one, toward more openness and accommodation of people and projects that aren't controlled by highly centralized telecommunications industry that has all but captured the agency in recent decades. Open technology people don't get the credit they deserve for preserving your rights in the halls of power, and in this case they've made some genuine inroads.
It may not last, of course, given political realities. And the FCC has a long, long way to go before it becomes truly independent of the telecom giants. But at least in this small but important case, we've seen progress. That's a start.

In honor of Mental Illness Awareness week, I interviewed my 9-year-old daughter about her experience with a transient tic disorder, which is fairly common in elementary school age children. See my questions and her answers below. If you'd like to know more, about tics check out this CDC website.
Q: What is a tic?
A: It's where you have to do a certain thing over and over again or else it will bug you.
Q: How does it bug you?
A: My mouth tickles. You're making it happen.
Q: What do you have to do over and over again?
A: Make noises with my mouth, blink, and sniff
Q: What does it feel like when you're doing the tics?
A: It gets annoying and it really never stops. For a long time.
Q: When do your tics happen?
A: Sometimes out of nowhere, or when someone talks about it or says the word
Q: What do you wish I knew about tics before you had them?
A: That when you talk about them they start going on.
Q: What would you like to say to another kid who has tics?
A: That it can be annoying when it happens out of nowhere and that it happens when someone talks about it. You shouldn't be embarrassed about it because other kids may have it too.

Portrait of my Grandfather as a Soldier
The children of the street are equally different from one another in character and appearance, and are often startlingly good-looking. They have shrill voices, clumsy clothes, the look of being small for their age, and they are liable to be comfortably dirty, but there the characteristics they have in common cease. They may be wonderfully fair, with delicate skins and pale hair; they may have red hair with snub-nosed, freckled faces; or they may be dark and intense, with long, thick eyelashes and slender, lithe bodies. Some are apathetic, some are restless. They are often intelligent; but while some are able to bring their intelligence to bear on their daily life, others seem quite unable to do so. They are abnormally noisy. Had they been well housed, well fed, well clothed and well tended, from birth, what kind of raw material would they have shown themselves to be?
Maud Pember Reeves, Round About a Pound a Week, (1913)
My paternal grandfather, Sidney Skelton, c1908
As November marks the centenary of the end of the First World War and the signing of the Armistice, I have decided to devote this month's post to the early life of my English grandfather, Sidney Skelton, who fought in France and Flanders during the Great War. Sidney was always referred to in our family as 'Grandad Skelton', whereas our younger Scottish grandfather (whom we saw more regularly by dint of basic geography) was simply called 'Grandad'. As a child, this difference in appellation used to worry me – I always thought that my English grandparents would feel that they had been relegated to second-best. Thus I hope by writing this post I can make amends for the fact that I never really knew my English grandfather well enough to learn to love him.
As a working-class Londoner who was born at the tail end of the Victorian period, not only did Sidney experience two world wars – firstly as a soldier, then as a working civilian – but also the resulting social changes which swept through the 20th century. I have written about my grandfather before (see Of Lost Toys and Mothers), and those who have followed my genealogical quest from the beginning may recall that he has cropped up at various points throughout my story, most notably in connection with his father and oldest brother, both of whom were named Arthur (see The Two Arthurs). Arthur Senior's mustachioed face can be seen in my grandparent's wedding photograph in the banner image above, looking like a leftover from another era. Known as 'Grandad Arthur', his jolly-looking countenance belied the harsh life he had led – when this photograph was taken he'd already lost two wives and had endured periods of great poverty that would seem Dickensian today.
Perhaps Sidney had not expected his father to still be around for his wedding day in the autumn of 1924, when he himself was already a relatively mature man (for those days) of thirty-two. Perhaps he'd not even expected to have survived to that age – he had spent many years as a professional soldier, serving in the Great War, and had suffered the loss of an older brother and step-brother in the conflict. For my grandfather, the marriage must have been a bittersweet moment as his thoughts turned to those of his family who could not be there, including his own mother who had died when he was just three, and his step-mother whom he'd lost the year previously.
Sidney and Edith on their wedding day, 25th October, 1924
Despite his unease in his borrowed wedding suit (it surely couldn't have been made for him), he does appear to look vaguely triumphant in his wedding photograph. Perhaps this is not as much in evidence as in the portrait taken to mark his official entry into the 19th Royal Hussars – after all, by 1924 he was no longer an innocent young man who was excited by the prospect a life of adventure, having finally experienced what real war meant. However, on that mild October day, when he married the daughter of his Brixton landlady, he was surely a contented man. His new bride, twenty-six year old Edith Matilda Stops (a name I'm ashamed to say I found ridiculously old-fashioned as a child), was an outgoing young woman who'd started work as a telephonist towards the end of the war, while no doubt still helping her widowed mother out around the house. As both her older brothers had served in the war, she was no stranger to the emotional impact of the conflict, something which was perhaps a comfort to my grandfather.
Whenever I think about my grandparents, it seems hard to reconcile their older selves with the young couple in the photograph above. By the time I came along, Grandma Skelton was already a dumpy women with thick grey hair tied back in a bun (strands of which still kept slipping out) and long, yellow teeth. She had a strange line in pork-pie hats and shiny dresses, and walked in her ugly lace-up shoes with a peculiar flat-footed gait. But I can also remember her lively dark eyes and olive complexion, her easy smile and wonderful cackling laugh. As I child I sensed that she was a happy person, despite the hardships I later discovered she'd endured. In contrast, my grandfather was thin and wiry with pale gnarled limbs and a sunken face, and always seemed to be on the verge of a bad mood. He was also rarely without a hand-rolled cigarette drooping from a corner of his mouth, which was slightly off-putting for the children of non-smokers. So we turned to our plumpish grandmother for hugs instead.
With Grandad Skelton, Christmas 1966
Thus poor Grandad suffered by comparison to his easy-going wife. It was a while after his death before I realised how varied his talents were – for woodworking, knitting, growing fruit and vegetables, and anything else he put his mind to. He was the sharp 'brains' of the family, but also the most tortured of all my grandparents. As my father inherited many of his characteristics (both good and bad), I know it is too simplistic to blame his experiences on the Western Front for his grumpiness in later life. But it breaks my heart to think that such a talented man ended up spending more than half his working life as a tram (and later, bus) conductor. This is not to denigrate such a job – he'd been delighted to be given such an opportunity in the lean years after the war – it is more that I believe he was the type of young man who would have greatly benefited from a recognised apprenticeship (as my Scottish grandfather did). However, his father was not in any position to support him in such a way.
When Sidney Skelton was born in Lambeth on 12th February 1892, Grandad Arthur and his first wife, Elisabeth (neé Holton), were living in rented rooms at 78, Cator street, near the Surrey Canal. A year later, when Sidney was baptised at the brand new church of All Saints, North Peckham (since dismantled), they had already moved to number 116, where they rented two unfurnished upstairs rooms from the live-in downstairs owner. This part of London was heavily bombed in WW2, resulting in a large area being turned into Burgess Park after the war (see A Tale of Two Parks), a process that took several decades to complete (and is still ongoing). Although these Cator Street houses no longer exist, the last remaining ones in the last remaining part of the street are now very much sought after residences. These period houses have a cottagey feel, yet it is also possible to imagine rows and rows of such identical multi-occupancy terraced houses, grimy in the soot-laden air, and understand why post-war planners were itching to eradicate them.
Original houses in Cator Street, Peckham, today
I have a strong feeling that Sidney's mother was already ailing when she gave birth to him, her fifth child, that winter. Three years later she would be dead from cirrhosis of the liver, her new-born son, Frederick Edward, following her to the grave shortly afterwards. His malnourished rickety body was simply too weak to carry on without her. So little Sidney already had a rocky start in life, which possibly became even rockier when his father quickly remarried a widow with her own children, and the new patchwork family continued to move around south London, the youngest members being registered in different board schools every few months. Although Arthur was a shoemaker by trade, he'd never attained the level of master (as his own father had with his tailoring business), so led a more precarious existence as a journeyman, mending his customers' shoes in whatever home the Skelton family happened to be living at the time. This would explain why my grandfather once told my aunt that he and his brothers had to walk long distances over south London in order to collect and deliver shoes for their father.
In the 1911 census, I was rather surprised to find that 52 year-old Grandad Arthur was found to be staying at Rowton House (at the Elephant and Castle), which was a fee-paying – albeit philanthropic – hostel for impoverished men. He was still married to his second wife, a widow named Harriet Pushman, but had possibly separated from her at this point (divorce being only for the wealthy). Unfortunately, after having been later used as a hotel and then a hostel, the old Rowton House building was demolished in 2007 after falling into disrepair, so I was unable to see it for myself. Yet, in 1897, when it was newly built, it was described as an impressive six-storey building, housing over 800 men, each of whom had their own small sleeping cubicle, open at the top. In addition, there were cooking facilities, opportunities to buy food and hot drinks, as well as communal living rooms, games rooms and libraries, alongside toilets and washing facilities. As one night cost around six old pence – although a room could also be booked on a weekly basis – the hostel was designed for 'bona-fide working men' who happened to be down on their luck. Residents who were tailors, shoemakers and barbers also offered their services, and I wonder whether Grandad Arthur was able to pick up some work while staying there.
Rowton House, Newington Butts, c1900
By then, Arthur Skelton's youngest son Sidney was already enlisted in the army and was most likely out of the country at that time (as he cannot be found on the 1911 census). Years later he told my father that before the Great War he had served overseas 'somewhere hot' (my mother thinks it was India, although it could have been in the Middle East) and there he had worn a special hat with a fold down part at the nape of the neck to protect against the sun – a style that is commonplace today due to increased concerns about UV radiation. However, in those days this issue was not people's chief concern, and when my father was sent out to Africa with the air force in the early 1950s, my grandfather's advised him to get out in the sun as much as possible right away, so he would quickly become acclimatised. As my father had inherited the olive skin tone of his mother, this was not a problem for him, and it seemed to me as a child that he was forever looking tanned and healthy. In fact, after years of living overseas, one of his major gripes about Scotland (and Britain as a whole – that damp dreary island in the North Atlantic) was the awful weather. So from an early age, I was picking up subliminal messages that life might be warmer and more exciting elsewhere.
My grandfather's decision to join the British army was most likely financial. Prior to that, he had only been able to take short-term labouring jobs (as did his brothers), and years later told my parents about how he used to have to go down to the docks (possibly the Surrey Docks) to try to find daily work. As my mother once remarked, being small and wiry, Sidney might not have immediately stood out as one of the obvious men to employ for physically demanding work, and he often had to return home empty-handed. So signing up to the army gave working-class boys like Sidney a chance to have paid regular employment, to be housed, clothed and fed, and to be trained in various skills. My mother remembers how surprised she was to once come across Sidney knitting an intricate Aran pullover as an old man, an unexpected benefit of being in the army.
It was only when I recently accessed the war diaries from Sidney's regiment, the 19th Hussars, that I realised why the soldiers would have learnt such skills as knitting. Despite how I imagined life at the Western Front, it seems that in between the skirmishes there was a certain amount of time waiting and preparing for the next stage of warfare, so keeping busy would have been paramount. From 17th October 1915 (when Sidney arrived in Wardrecques, France, as part of one-hundred strong reinforcements) there are many entries which describe several days staying in billets (while waiting on commands), interspersed with trench digging, reconnoissance parties, transporting weapons etc.
In addition, soldiers constantly had to undertake bayonet and rifle drills, as well as keeping their horses fit and trained, and most unexpectedly, regularly playing football. In fact, while reading the diaries for 1916, I actually began to think that 'playing football' was a euphemism for some sort of military tactic. But of course, such 'games' would not only have improved physical skills, but also increased cohesion within the battalion and improved the soldiers' morale. There were also descriptions of church visits, inspections, parades and horse shows (which the local population often came to watch), some of which had to be cancelled due to last-minute manoeuvres, and soldiers occasionally helped local farmers with harvests, in return for food and grazing.

The British army war diaries, which have only been available for the general public since 2014, can be read in situ at the National Archives in Kew, or can be ordered on-line for the price of a pint of beer. They are not always easy to decipher as some of the entries have been written (or scrawled) in pencil, and individual officers varied in how much information they recorded. Without prior military knowledge, it can also be challenging to follow many of the manoeuvres described, and the very matter-of-fact descriptions sometimes makes it difficult to work out when the important events are taking place. But to anyone wanting to know more about an ancestor's movements during that period, they are certainly worthwhile reading, particularly if key battle dates are known. It is also relatively easy to plot the movements of troops if a detailed map of the area described can be accessed at the same time. Thus the diaries are an invaluable guide to visiting the battlefields, something I hope to do at some point in the future.

And so it was that I found myself honing in on the 8th August 1918, when I saw (with a horrible thrill) that for the first time in the diary the officer in charge had simply written Battle Front in the space designated for the name of the town or village in which the 19th Hussars were billeted. To follow the Battle of Amiens in 'real time' was an uncanny feeling, particularly in light of the fact that we know what those who were fighting cannot. I am able to read about the conflict, knowing that the war would soon come to an end and my grandfather would survive. Yet, how harrowing it must be for those who are following the hour-by-hour descriptions of a battle where their ancestors lost their lives.

Some of the notes taken during the battle were particularly descriptive. For example, at 7pm on the evening of the 8th of August, the officer in charge wrote: Enemy aeroplanes appeared in large numbers, as many as 20 or 30 being in the air above us at the same time, and commenced shooting at our horses, no damage. A few of our Scouts (S.E.5's) were in among them, and we had the satisfaction of seeing one machine burst into flames at a height of about 1,500 feet, and fall rapidly down on the west side of the valley in which the horses were standing. The pilot jumped out and fell a little further looking like a little rag.

But perhaps the notes that enthralled me the most were those which captured the often petty-sounding (but obviously important for discipline and morale) issues of everyday life on the Western Front. Soldiers were admonished for smoking while on horseback, for shooting rabbits in the French countryside, for not changing their socks within a 24 hour period. And so the list of regulations and demeanours went on. Food was also an important topic for the troops; for example, on the 2nd of May, 1918, the reporting officer wrote the following: Information received that the peanut cake now being issued, is better boiled, this producing a less irritating and purging effect. Day passed quietly. I don't think he realised the unintended humour of these two, possibly unrelated, statements!

A family anecdote relating to my grandfather's time in the army which I have always found particularly fascinating is an event which took place on a cold winter's morning when my grandfather was coming home on leave. As Sidney was walking through the suburban streets of south London in his cavalry uniform, there was a commotion when the local milkman's horse slipped on the ice and fell over. Knowing that a fallen horse is in a difficult situation – especially on ice – and that it needs to be helped up onto its feet before it does any damage to itself, Sidney ran over to the horse and kneeled on its neck. This was presumably to prevent the animal struggling, and would have been second nature to him after his army training – as to lose a horse in wartime is obviously a grave concern. However, it would appear that the milkman was not best pleased to see this soldier diving onto his horse, and used some choice swearwords to show his disapproval.

Although everyone in the family seemed to find this tale quite funny, I have always thought it rather sad. I wonder if this is because it illustrates the different worlds that the two men inhabited. Sidney would have been proud of his equine skills and no doubt believed that his role in the army was for the greater good; the milkman may have felt that he was being shown up by this younger serviceman, and may have had conflicted emotions about not actively fighting in the war himself (despite the fact he may have been too old for service). For soldiers coming home on leave from the front, it must have been a strange, unsettling experience.
But perhaps it was even harder when the war was finally over.

I have enjoyed the posts as my grandfather Arthur was your grandfather's brother. We went to a memorial tribute at Tyne Cott last year and heard James' name read out we also placed a poppy memorial at the tablet naming all the fallen in his regiment. A very moving candlelit event with 100s of other relatives from Britain.
Hi Norma, thanks for your message. I'll get back in touch by email as it would be great to hear about Tyne Cot (I plan to visit next spring) and any other family news. Plus I'll amend the bit in the post which says that no-one in the family has been to the memorial yet!


The entire crypto market has lost roughly 65 percent of its value as of Thursday but some coins have fared worse than others.
CNBC compiled a list of what a $1,000 at the peak of the crypto hype would have yielded in some of the most popular cryptocurrencies.
XRP has been the worst bet, down 92 percent since its high in January.
Those who bought cryptocurrency at the start of 2017 likely felt pretty savvy in December. But if you bought late last year, that's certainly not the case today.
Bitcoin, the world's first and largest cryptocurrency has held up better than others. It's down more than 54 percent this year, and was trading around $6,400 Thursday. The cryptocurrency became a household name as it hit a high near $20,000 on December 16, 2017.
If you put $1,000 into bitcoin on that day, you would have lost about $650, with $350 left in it today.
The world's second largest cryptocurrency has nosedived 70 percent this year, and fell 15 percent this week alone. Ether is the name of the cryptocurrency but it's closely associated to the popular Ethereum blockchain. Unlike bitcoin, which gives access to a global financial network, ether gives you access to a computer network. Investors saw an opportunity in its use case for building applications but that hype has faded significantly this year.
If you put $1,000 in ether at its high in January, you would have lost $836.
Bitcoin Cash is an offshoot of the original bitcoin. The cryptocurrency was born last August out of a "fork," by a group of developers who were frustrated with some technology issues behind bitcoin, including "scalability." Bitcoin Cash increased the size of the blocks, meaning more transactions could happen per second.
If you put $1,000 in bitcoin cash at the high in December, you would have lost $858 by September of this year.
Litecoin would have been a great investment if you got in early — it was up 8,000 percent at one point last year. The cryptocurrency was inspired and technically, is almost identical to bitcoin but proponents say transactions are faster and cheaper.
If you bet $1,000 on Litecoin at its high in December, you would have lost $833 as of Thursday. The cryptocurrency is now trading around $50 after topping $330 late last year.
Often mistakenly called "Ripple," XRP has fared the worst of the top cryptocurrencies. It's trading around 30 cents Thursday after climbing to $3.77 in January.
Ripple is a fintech company that focuses on global payments, and holds the majority of XRP the cryptocurrency. XRP is a cryptocurrency, independent of the company, that can be used on Ripple's platforms.
If you invested $1,000 in XRP at its high earlier this year, you would have lost the vast majority of that investment — $920.

It's all organizing and packing over here... I'm trying not to get overwhelmed by the crazy everywhere!
These washi tape labels are making organizing just a little bit more fun!
I had been pining for this Washi Tape Label Maker but it is a bit spendy and requires specialized washi tape. We already had this Dymo label maker so I decided to make due with what I already have! Bonus, this way I can use up some of my ridiculous washi tape (obsession) collection!
Alrighty! It's back to packing for me!

Q: How i can create Guests in another controller (for me it is Events) I am stuck on creating Guests in my Events controller.
An error from rails:

undefined method `permit' for [{"name"=>"John"},
  {"name"=>"Mike"}]:Array

How can I save Guests from Events controller, please help.
This is my EventsController:
class EventsController < ApplicationController
 def create
    @event = Event.create(event_params)
    @guest = Guest.create(guest_params)

    respond_with [@event, @guest]

  end

private
  def event_params
    params.require(:event).permit(:name, :description, :date)
  end

  def guest_params
    params.require(:guests).permit(:name)
  end
end

So, this is JSON from the view:
date:"25.07.2016"
description:"Biggest Show"
guests:[{name: "John"}, {name: "Mike"}]
name:"Night Show"

My class Event.rb:
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :guests
  def as_json(options = {})
    super(options.merge(include: :guests))
  end
end

My class Guest.rb:
class Guest < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :event
  def as_json(options = {})
    super
  end
end

And Guest controller (if it more helpful):
class GuestsController < ApplicationController
  respond_to :json
  def index
    respond_with Guest.all
  end

  def show
    respond_with Guest.find(params[:id])
  end

  def create
    respond_with Guest.create(guest_params)
  end

  private
  def guest_params
    params.require(:guest).permit(:name)
  end
end

A: Change guest_params method to:
def guest_params
  params.permit(guests: [:name])
end

you can't call permit on an array

A: Since guests in your view is an array of hashes [{name: "John"}, {name: "Mike"}], you should do something like this in your controller:
# app/controllers/events_controller.rb
class EventsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @event = Event.create(event_params)
    @guests = guests_params[:guests].map { |guest|
      Guest.create(name: guest[:name], event: @event)
    }

    respond_with @event
  end

  private
    def event_params
      params.require(:event).permit(:name, :description, :date)
    end

    def guests_params
      params.require(:event).permit(:guests)
    end
end

Alternatively you could change your view to return guests: { name_1: "John", name_2: "Mike", name_3: ... ] and then use a permit method, that expects the index of the guest:
# app/controllers/events_controller.rb
class EventsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    ...
    @guests = (1..max_index).map { |index|
      Guest.create(guest_params(index).merge({ event: @event }))
    }
    ...
  end

  private
    ...
    def guest_params index
      params.require(:guests).permit("name_#{index}")
    end
end

I have not checked the code against the interpreter, but I think you get the idea :)
EDIT: changed event_params.guests to params[:event][:guests], since guests is not a method or field of the event_params hash. Also removed guests from the permit method, because it could give an error when creating the event. But I am not sure if this is a good practice solution or if it even works exactly that way. It's still just to give the idea :)

Humans may first encounter coccidia when they acquire a puppy or kitten that is infected. Other than T. gondii, the infectious organisms are canine and feline-specific and are not contagious to humans, unlike the zoonotic diseases.
Puppies are frequently infected with coccidia from the feces of their mother, and are more likely to develop coccidiosis due to their undeveloped immune systems. Stress can trigger symptoms in susceptible animals.
Symptoms in young dogs include diarrhea with mucus and blood, poor appetite, vomiting, and dehydration. Untreated the disease can be fatal.
Treatment is routine and effective. Diagnosis is made by low-powered microscopic examination of the feces, which is generally replete with oocysts. Readily available drugs eliminate the protozoa or reduce them enough that the animal's immune system can clear the infection. Permanent damage to the gastrointestinal system is rare, and a dog will usually suffer no long-lasting negative effects.
Coccidiosis is a significant disease for chickens, especially affecting the young chicks. It can be fatal or leave the bird with compromised digestion. There are chick feed mixes that contain a coccidiostat to manage exposure levels and control disease. In an outbreak, coccidiocidal medications are given. Examples are toltrazuril (Baycox) or amprolium. After multiple infections, surviving chickens become resistant to the coccidia.
Coccidiosis (in cattle also known as Eimeriosis) is one of the most important diseases in calves and youngstock both under housing conditions and when grazing. Symptoms are generally caused by the species Eimeria zuernii and Eimeria bovis and include loss of appetite, fatigue, dehydration, and watery, sometimes bloody, diarrhoea. Outbreaks are known to occur in cattle herds. The parasite can infect all animals on the farm and in some countries the parasite is present on all farms. Coccidiosis affects the growth and sometimes survival of the calves and consequently affect the production and the profitability of cattle livestock production.
Coccidiosis is also present in goats, and is the largest cause of diarrhea in young goats.
Genus Isospora is the most common cause of intestinal coccidiosis in dogs and cats. Species of Isospora are host-specific, infecting only one species. Species that infect dogs include I. canis, I. ohioensis, I. burrowsi, and I. neorivolta. Species that infect cats include I. felis and I. rivolta. The most common symptom is diarrhea. Sulfonamides are the most common treatment.
Genus Eimeria affects birds such as poultry and mammals such as cattle and rabbits. Species include E. tenella, E. brunetti, E. necatrix, and E. acervulina. Sulfonamides are effective.
Genus Cryptosporidium contains two species known to cause cryptosporidiosis, C. parvum and C. muris. Cattle are most commonly affected, and their feces may be a source of infection for other mammals, including humans. Recent genetic analyses of Cryptosporidium in humans have identified C. hominis as a human-specific pathogen. Infection occurs most commonly in immunocompromised individuals, such as dogs with canine distemper, cats with feline leukemia, and humans with AIDS.
Genus Hammondia is transmitted by ingestion of cysts found in the tissue of grazing animals and rodents. Dogs and cats are the definitive hosts, with H. heydorni infecting dogs and the H. hammondi and H. pardalis infecting cats. Symptoms do not usually occur.
Genus Besnoitia infects cats that ingest cysts in the tissue of rodents and opossums, but usually do not cause disease.
Genus Sarcocystis infects carnivores that ingest cysts from various intermediate hosts. Sarcocystis may cause disease in dogs and cats.
Genus Toxoplasma has one important species, T. gondii. Cats are the definitive host, but all mammals and some fish, reptiles, and amphibians can be intermediate hosts. Only cat feces will hold infective oocysts, but infection through ingestion of cysts can occur with the tissue of any intermediate host. Toxoplasmosis occurs in humans usually as low-grade fever or muscle pain for a few days. A normal immune system will suppress the infection but the tissue cysts will persist in that animal or human for years or for life. In immunocompromised individuals, dormant cysts can be reactivated and cause lesions in the brain, heart, lungs, eyes, and other tissues. A fetus may be at risk if a pregnant woman without immunity becomes infected. Symptoms in cats include fever, weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, uveitis, and central nervous system signs. Disease in dogs includes paralysis, tremors, and seizures. Dogs and cats are usually treated with clindamycin.
Genus Neospora has one important species, N. caninum, which affects dogs in a manner similar to toxoplasmosis. Neosporosis is difficult to treat.
Genus Hepatozoon contains one species that causes hepatozoonosis in dogs and cats, H. canis. Animals become infected by ingesting an infected brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus). Symptoms include fever, weight loss, and pain in the spine and limbs.
The most common medications used to treat coccidian infections are in the sulfonamide antibiotic family.
Depending on the pathogen and the condition of the animal, untreated coccidiosis may clear of its own accord, or become severe and damaging, and sometimes cause death.

Peru Advances in Copa América after Suárez Misses Penalty
By Associated Press June 30, 2019

SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) — Underdogs Peru advanced to the semifinals of Copa América on Saturday after a goalless draw and a penalty shootout miss from Uruguay striker Luis Suárez.
Peru's next opponent will be defending champion Chile, who eliminated Colombia also on penalties Friday night. The match will take place Wednesday at the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre.
Brazil and Argentina will face off Tuesday in Belo Horizonte for the other spot in the July 7 final at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Suárez was the only player to miss from the spot and left the field in tears.
Edison Flores scored Peru's last goal in the 5-4 penalty shootout win.
Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese, who was under severe criticism after Peru was routed 5-0 by Brazil a week ago, saved Suárez shot with his belly and decided the match for the Peruvians.
"He is a goalkeeper that always appears in the important moments," said Peru coach Ricardo Gareca.
Peru got through the group as one of the top two teams finishing third place. Its only win in four matches was a 3-1 against weak Bolivia.

The match in Salvador offered few opportunities for both teams and was played under rain in the entire first half. Only 21,000 fans were at the 48,000-seater Arena Fonte Nova to watch.
Uruguay, the team that has won the most Copa Américas, with 15 titles, created the best opportunities during the 90 minutes, but the goals scored by Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Edinson Cavani and Suárez were disallowed by offside.
Coach Óscar Tabárez started the match with two of his most aggressive midfielders, Federico Valverde and Giorgian de Arrascaeta, hoping to take advantage of Peru's defensive troubles during group stage. But those problems were not there anymore for the knockout stage match.
"Soccer is not about deserving. They took their penalty shots better," said Uruguayan defender Diego Godín. "Three goals disallowed. We missed the efficiency to score that goal that would have opened the match."
Coach Tabárez agreed. "Nothing was done against the rules," he said.
After winning Copa América 2011 in Argentina, Uruguay failed to get out of the group in the 2015 and the 2016 editions. The team known as the Celeste advanced to the quarterfinals after beating Chile 1-0, winning Group C and leaving the impression it could fight for the title again.
The Peruvians netted all their penalties against goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. Paolo Guerrero, Raúl Ruidíaz, Yoshimar Yotún, Luis Advíncula and Flores got it right from the spot. After Suárez missed, Cavani, Cristhian Stuani, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Torreira converted their shots for Uruguay.
Peru's Gareca said his team deserved to advance because of its will power. His top goal scorer Paolo Guerrero agreed.
"We have shown that this group has the will, the blood and the courage," the striker said.
Peru could not count on injured midfielder Jefferson Farfán, one of the most important players of his squad.
The match in Salvador marked the third goal less draw in the quarterfinals of Copa América in Brazil. The only goals of this phase were scored in Argentina's 2-0 victory against Venezuela.
Players once more suffered with the poor pitch of the Arena Fonte Nova, filled with bare patches and uneven regions.
Poor fields have been a constant complaint during Copa América in Brazil.
In the Copa América semifinals there will be extra time if the matches finish in a tie. In the quarterfinals stage the decision went straight to the penalty shootouts if the teams ended level after 90 minutes.

Your dress over the chair's arm. Dinner waiting. A cup your father gave you on the shelf. Sheer petals between paddock and palaver, booked forever. Your shawl. Wallpaper where no light happens. This forearm vein a doctor tries, calls anfractuous. My paint pants, three times in the trash. Recollected. When I was cold, and six. A still pigeon on December eave. May fog under streetlight, my brother sea-bound in '42. A back room song, words I cannot remember. The sky the last time you let go, how it sifts itself out, filling other places, other eyes, falling away, away, blue.

More than 80 percent of the bitcoins that will ever exist have now been created.
"It's an event that makes the market more aware of the scarcity of bitcoin. It will eventually turn into higher prices," said Ansel Lindner, a bitcoin investor and host of the "Bitcoin & Markets" podcast. He expects this year, bitcoin could surpass its record high of more than $19,000 hit in December.
Bitcoin traded near $8,900 midday Thursday, down roughly 35 percent for the year so far.
The cryptocurrency is created through an energy intensive process in which miners use high computing power to solve complex mathematical equations. They then receive the bitcoins as a reward, whose amount is halved over time. As a result, the bitcoin creation process is generally slowing down, although it can vary with the number of miners participating.
The first bitcoins were mined in January 2009. Blockchain.info data shows it took about 200 days to reach the first 1 million coins, but the run to 17 million has taken more than 500 days — the number of bitcoins topped 16 million in November 2016. The remaining 4 million coins aren't expected to be mined completely for another 122 years.
The 17 millionth bitcoin "serves as a timely reminder that despite bitcoin's volatility the fundamentals have never been stronger!" Brandon Williams of cryptocurrency trading firm Cosima Capital, said in an email.
"Not only have there been improvements in scaling and lowering transaction fees (i.e. SegWit and Lightning Network), but bitcoin is finite!" he said. And against limited supply, Williams expects demand from institutional investors to increase, which should send prices higher.
A significant number of bitcoins are also not in circulation. An estimated 980,000 coins, or 4.7 percent of all bitcoins that will ever exist, belong to Satoshi, according to widely accepted analysis by Sergio Demian Lerner.

(Call Me By Your Name #1)
Published June 28, 2017 by atlantic books uk.
Oliver, a doctoral student from America, comes to work as an intern for Elio's father. As they both discover themselves in the mystery that is the mind the two form a bond and throughout the summer, what once was a crush blossoms into a relationship that will change their lives forever.
nerd teacher [books] reviewed Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
An unpleasant experience.
This book is nothing but garbage, and that is precisely where I'm putting it now that I've finally given in and finished reading it. I'm not sure how it is something that caught the attention of so many and became as popular as it was.
The overwhelming feeling that I have for this book is that both Oliver and Elio is that they're both abusers and manipulators. Oliver spends a ridiculous amount of time using emotionally abusive tactics against Elio; it feels like he spends some time gaslighting him as well, but he definitely spends a lot of time manipulating him. Elio spends a lot of time manipulating random female characters, particularly Marzia.
The biphobic tropes of promiscuity and inability to be faithful are also worth noting. It has issues of statutory rape, including Oliver (an adult man) preying upon a female student to seemingly make Elio jealous.
The whole …
The whole book is weirdly classist. Oh, it has a few random ableist passages, too.

Review of 'Call Me By Your Name' on 'Storygraph'
The pacing was very slow and I was creeped out by the age gap in a romance where one person was a minor. I love queer books and thought the movie was okay, but this just felt off.

Review of 'Call Me By Your Name' on 'Goodreads'
Positively enchanting read about relationships that are short yet so open and intimate but sort of doomed from the start. But also how they end up being unforgettable. Life changing. And shape who you are.
Executed wonderfully. The writing is exquisite. Never a dull moment. Also made me long for lazy days of summer.
Marcus reviewed Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
Don't expect me to feel sorry or tormented for this boy. He can cry about his sexuality, confusion, and lost love from the comfort of his privileged, cushy life.
And that's the problem, aside from Elio's anxiety and indecision, I feel nothing connecting me to him.
Neither of them. At best they feel like mouthpieces for the author to vomit his introspection and philosophy. So these characters have no agency or self.
The only thing that makes me give this 3 stars is the writing. It's quite beautiful, but not without its problems. In places where he could've used 5 words, he uses 2 paragraphs. And in places that needed paragraphs, we only got 5 words.
No place is this more apparent than part 3, when the slog to finish this book began.
