Q: Missing dependency for git commit? I was unable to git commit on an old Synology DS-106j for a while. After asking this question here a while back, I followed the suggested alternative till I found out that I now need to use git on the platform. (I am currently writing a program for it.) Fortunately, I found a way to get an updated version of git for the platform, but the issue is still there even after the update. Below is a short version of what happened:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Testing"
fatal: d7fae4dbad5534fed92205ff4a9cc1152b013c8b is not a valid object

I tried again by deleting the .git directory; yet, the similar result shows. In the previous question, it is possible that it may be a version problem since I was running git version 1.8.4.2-1, but the problem still persist after updated to version 2.3.7.
The strange part is that I tested git version 2.3.5 on a newer Synology DS-212j and it works perfectly fine. Maybe that my old platform is missing a dependency or something of that sort?

Joseph "Joe" Roy Strangfeld
Joseph "Joe" Roy Strangfeld, age 58, born October 13, 1963 in Milwaukee, WI passed away at home in Strum, WI on April 26, 2022 after a short battle with cancer. Joe was first diagnosed in August of 2020 and underwent surgery and thought the cancer was gone. In September 2021 new scans showed it had returned and had spread. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation, which did not stop the progression.
Joe was united in marriage to Diane (Gilbertson) on August 27, 2005 just South of Strum at the Bruce Valley Church. He first met Diane 30 years ago, they had been together for 28, and married for almost 17. They loved doing things together; hunting, fishing, camping, traveling, snowmobiling, and UTV riding. They traveled many of the National Parks and four years ago finally down the Alcan Highway to Alaska.
Joe graduated from Strum High School in 1981 and continued his education at Stout for two years. He then went to CVTC and graduated in 1985 with an associate degree in Applied Science Data Processing. After graduation he started work for Midwest Manufacturing in Eau Claire with the maintenance department. He worked for them for about 37 years until the time of his death. He had worked his way up to being a maintenance manager- where he and his crew kept all the production machines working.
He loved to do almost everything outdoors- even yardwork. He enjoyed having a fire in the evenings in the fire pit he built. He loved to go camping, hunting, riding his ATV or UTV, and fishing trips. He was always fixing things for his wife and other people. He liked to keep busy.
Joe loved to travel, especially to Alaska to visit his stepson and his family. He would fish for Halibut in the ocean and Salmon in the rivers. Lots of hiking was done.
He is survived by his wife Diane; parents, Roy and Carol; brother, Ron (Karin); niece, Brooke; nephew, Ryan; step-children, Jeremy (Diane), Ryan (Erika), and Jolene; 7 step grandchildren, 1 step great grandson; many aunts and uncles; and his two cats, Denali and Aurora, who loved to lay in his lap while he watched TV.
A visitation for Joe will be Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 at the Schiefelbein Funeral home from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm with short memorial service at 7. There will be a time for further remembrance and sharing during a celebration of life for Joe later this summer at a date, time, and place yet to be determined, but will be announced.
The Schiefelbein Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements, 13507 7th st. Osseo, WI 54758 (715-597-3711)

Mellon Foundation Grants $2.2 Million to Poetry, an Underfunded Art
Submitted by Carmen Graciela Díaz on January 17, 2019
"Philanthropy hasn't done a lot for poetry," said Elizabeth Alexander, poet and president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to The New York Times. Her words are a strong reminder of how underfunded is poetry. But this week, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation announced that it awarded $2.2 million to the Academy of American Poets.
Alexander told the Times this is the largest donation the Mellon Foundation has ever made in honor of poetry.
The New York Times reported the funds are divided into two grants:
The first will help start a new fellowship program to support poets laureate of states, cities, United States territories or tribal nations across the country. (Applications open Jan. 15.) In April, the Academy of American Poets will bestow 10 to 20 fellowships that will range from $50,000 to $100,000 each.
The second grant, explains the newspaper, is for the Poetry Coalition, a national alliance of more than 20 poetry organizations.

The winners of the festival were defined by the Dublin Film Critics' Circle.

When Darwin visited the tropical rainforest he was amazed by the diversity of the life there. Darwin wrote about "the general luxuriance of the vegetation . . . the elegance of the grasses, the novelty of the parasitical plants, the beauty of the flowers, the glossy green of the foliage . . . " He wondered how the life had become so complex and diverse. Darwin saw organisms chasing each other, eating each other, trying to find food and water and other things that they needed, and he started thinking about how every organism struggles for life.

The Dutch government has frozen official contacts with Iran to protest the hanging of a Dutch-Iranian woman, the foreign ministry said.
Gharib Abadi, the Iranian ambassador was informed of the sanctions after he confirmed reports that Zahra Bahrami, 45, was executed in Tehran on Saturday.
His embassy later said the hanging was 'an internal issue' that should have no impact on diplomatic relations.
Iranian state television reported Bahrami was hanged for possessing and selling drugs. The report said that initially Bahrami was arrested for committing 'security crimes,' but it did not say what became of that case.
Bahrami had been jailed in Iran since December 2009 after protests against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election. Protesters took to the streets, saying the vote was marred by fraud and that opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi was the rightful winner.
The Iranian embassy in a statement on Saturday described Bahrami as a member of an international drug trafficking ring, who traveled on Dutch, Iranian and Spanish passports with different personal information.
The embassy said that Bahrami - who was born in Iran, but gained Dutch citizenship after moving to the Netherlands - was accorded the legal rights of an Iranian citizen, but that Tehran does not recognise dual nationality.
He added the hanging was especially shocking as Abadi had assured the Dutch minister on Friday that Bahrami's legal avenues had not yet been exhausted.
Dutch diplomats had been denied access to Bahrami while she was in prison because Iran refused to recognise her Dutch nationality. The Dutch government reportedly hired lawyers to defend her.
The diplomatic freeze means Iranian embassy staff are forbidden from meeting or having contact with Dutch officials without prior written approval, Van Loosdrecht said.
The foreign ministry also advised other dual citizens against traveling to Iran, as Dutch consular officials would now have no access to them if they are arrested.
Van Loosdrecht said Rosenthal would raise the issue next week when European Union foreign ministers meet in Brussels.
The Netherlands will seek unspecified 'collective measures' against Iran, Van Loosdrecht said.

The first important step towards considering whether or not to refinance is to decide on your objectives. What is it that you are seeking? Reducing your monthly loan payments or pulling out cash from your home equity for debt consolidation or home improvements? Once you know what you want, it will be easier to narrow down your options and seek the best loan programs to help you achieve your goals.
After deciding out on your objectives and doing your research, contact any of the licensed loan officers at Absolute Home Mortgage Corporation. You can easily fill out our online application form or give us a call to talk to one of our mortgage experts. Our loan officers offer competent advice and recommendations for your individual goals.

Kentucky Baptists, we hope to see you in the mountains! The annual meeting of the Kentucky Baptist Convention and the Kentucky Baptist Pastor's Conference is less than two months away and I want to encourage you to join in us in Pikeville for a celebration of all God is doing through the cooperative mission efforts of Kentucky Baptist churches.
We will be celebrating Kentucky Baptists commitment to reaching the next generation, evidenced by a record number of hurting kids being ministered to through Sunrise and a record number of students hearing the gospel at Crossings camps. We will celebrate a record number Kentucky Baptists being involved in volunteer mission projects even as we welcome in what we anticipate will be the largest number of newly affiliating KBC churches in the past 12 years. We will rejoice over hundreds of KBC churches increasing their Cooperative Program giving, including 5 churches that increased more than $25,000 over the prior year. And we will thank God for His provision for the work, as is evident by KBC churches giving nearly $1 million more through the CP than you gave the previous year to support 52 church plants, 3600+ overseas missionaries, and so much more!
The annual meeting will take place on November 13th and the Pastor's Conference will be on November 12th. You don't want to miss either one!
But you should also plan to come to Pikeville a day or two early. Here's why. More than two years ago, when we began dreaming about holding the annual meeting in Pikeville, we were hoping the effort would be an encouragement to churches in eastern Kentucky. As we met with pastors, DoMs, and state missionaries, that dream became a plan called Hope for the Mountains, a one-night crusade event to be held on Sunday evening, November 11. We are praying that God will use this event as a time of eternal harvest for those already being evangelized by churches throughout the region.
The Hope for the Mountains crusade will take place at the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center in Pikeville. Evangelist Jon Reed will preach that evening. And Bubba Stewart and the Jason Lovins Band will provide the music.
For the crusade to be a success, we need your help. First, we need you to pray, asking God's blessing on this initiative. Second, we need you and your church to get involved as counselors, choir members, ushers, and greeters for the service. All of the information is available for you at www.kybaptist.org/hope. Even if you don't live in the region and can only show up on the day of the crusade, you can still volunteer to serve in a host of ways.
God is richly blessing the work of Kentucky Baptists. If you are one of us, thank you for supporting that work by giving through the Cooperative Program. And thank you for helping share the good news about that work with the members your church and the other churches in your association. Might God continue to use us, together, to reach Kentucky and the world for Christ!

Branwell
A Novel of the Bronta Brother
by Douglas A. Martin
Paperback | 5 x 8.1, 232 pages | ISBN 9781933368009
A gifted artist and writer, Branwell Bronte, an only son, is expected to make the family fortune and distinguish the Bronte name. Instead, he dies at 31 from alcohol and opium abuse. Painstakingly tutored at home by his father, Branwell and his sisters write endless stories about imaginary worlds far from their bleak parsonage home. As his sisters spin the stories that will immortalize them, Branwell sinks under the weight of great expectations. With language as rich and dark as the moors of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, Douglas A. Martin probes the locus where history and myth collide, and uncovers Branwell's lost loves, thwarted talent, and possible homosexuality. Maintaining the haunting quality of childhood memory throughout, Bronte Boy is a genre-bending exploration of the tragic figure of Branwell Bronte and the dismal, dazzling landscape that inspired his sisters to greatness.

Out of all the things we know as women and of all the things we learn,we forget about something as small as our beauty. Beauty is something we are automatically gifted at birth that exudes through our environments like wildfire.

Walter Lilly & Company Limited

(2) DMW Devlopments Limited
Sean Brannigan QC and Anneliese Day QC (instructed by Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP) for the Claimant
David Sears QC, Serena ChengandDavid Johnson (instructed by Nabarros LLP) for the Defendants
Hearing dates: 12–15, 19–22, 26–29 March, 2–4 April and 3 May 2012
This litigation raises extensive disputes which have arisen on a substantial new building project at 3, Boltons Place, London SW5. The project commenced in about 2004 and it is common ground that, when the Contractor, Walter Lilly & Company Limited ("WLC"), was appointed as main contractor, design work was nowhere near completed. It was clear and became clearer that the employer, DMW Developments Ltd ("DMW"), had very high expectations. However, little if any design had been completed prior to the involvement of WLC. There were substantial delays, much of which initially at least were not the responsibility of WLC, and as time went on DMW fell out seriously with its Architect. It can certainly be seen with hindsight, and could probably have been foreseen, that the project was "a disaster waiting to happen". This certainly has proved to be the case.
The case raises a number of issues which may be of interest to the construction industry and specialist legal practitioners and these include global claims and concurrent delays. In one sense, this litigation is very old-fashioned because it has involved a full-blooded conflict between the parties in which there seems to have been little, no or belated room for compromise, although the quantum experts have gone some way to reducing what is in issue. There remain in effect hundreds of issues between the parties, hence the length of this judgment. Different approaches are adopted by each party on delay analysis. No quarter was given on any of the primary matters in issue. Some very personal criticisms and complaints have been made by each party about one or more of the other side's witnesses. There have been over 32,000 pages of documentation put before the Court (albeit with a significant amount of duplication and irrelevant material), there have been 9 factual witnesses and 8 experts and the trial hearing has lasted 16 days. The expert bundles themselves run to 33 in number, totalling some 11,000 pages. It seems that the parties have expended between about £9m and £10m by way of costs, which is obviously disproportionate to what is in dispute.
I propose to divide this judgement into a number of sections:
A. General Chronology.
B. Assessment of Witnesses.
C. The Contract.
D. The Proceedings and the Pleadings
E. Analysis of Major Causes of Delays and Major Defects.
F. Extension of Time.
G. Quantum Delay.
H. Other Defects.
I. Other Quantum.
In the General Chronology which follows, I will not set out in detail the history relating to the Light Wall, the ABW, the Courtyard Sliding Doors, the lift, the Barrisol Ceilings, the Stingray Doors, Leather in the Library, snagging or plaster defects which will be dealt with in the Analysis of Major Causes of Delays and Major Defects.
General Chronology
No, 3 Boltons Place, owned and occupied by Mr and Mrs Mackay, is one of three adjacent houses of similar design. DMW was a purpose designed vehicle for the acquisition of the land at what is now Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Boltons Place and was formed by three people, Mr Mackay, Mr Daniel and Mr West. The three houses were known during construction as Units or Plots A, B and C, of which C was to be Mr and Mrs Mackay's. The houses are of reinforced concrete construction on piled foundations and the external walls are brick, although the ground floors are rendered in a faux rusticated manner. There are five floors, with a basement containing a below garden swimming pool set across a narrow courtyard, a ground floor and three other floors. The third floor is located behind a mansard style slate clad roof. Whilst each house was built to a similar shell and core, the interiors were fitted out to suit the requirements of the individual owners.
The basement at No.3 comprises on the west side a large habitable space, designated as the Library where the extensive bookcases are covered in stitched leather. The Library windows, which largely comprise a large sliding door, look out onto a courtyard with a water feature, on the other side of which behind a similar sliding door is the swimming pool, on the western side of which are glass screens behind which there are changing rooms, a lavatory and shower. The very substantial sliding doors which lead out from the swimming pool and the Library are known as the Courtyard Sliding Doors. The glass screens on the western side of the pool comprise and incorporate a lighting feature which allows a flow of changing coloured light from top and bottom to be diffused through the whole of the screen; this is known as the Light Wall. In the basement there is also a cinema and below the external area immediately outside the front door is a garage accessed by a car lift. The ceilings of the swimming pool and the cinema comprise what is known as Barrisol ceilings which essentially are a stretch light coloured fabric which conceals a substantial bank of lights which also change colour and are supposed to be diffused evenly through the ceiling downwards. There are also a wine cellar, guest toilet facilities, a kitchen, laundry and staff quarters. There is a secondary staircase to the ground floor. The ground floor comprises a large entry hall, to the west a large family room and to the east the drawing room in addition to which there are guest cloakrooms; the doors to these two rooms were known as the Stingray doors and were very substantial metal lookalike doors. The first floor contains the master bedroom suite, including bathroom and dressing rooms as well as two studies, referred to as His Study and Her Study. On the second floor there are two substantial bedrooms for each of the Mackays' children, each having a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a study. The third floor comprises a guest suite on the east side and a gymnasium on the west side. Rising up and down from the ground floor is a reasonably capacious circular staircase in the middle of which there is a lift which runs all the way up the house. Much of the flooring is of American Black Walnut ("ABW"); ABW was also used for much of the cupboard joinery as well as for the skirtings.
Mr and Mrs Mackay assembled initially the following design and professional team:
Architect: Barrett Lloyd Davis Associates ("BLDA")
Interior Designer: Initially Fox Linton and later Janine Stone Interior and Architectural Design ("JSI")
Structural Engineer: Cameron Taylor Bedford
Services Consultants: Chapman Bathurst Partnership ("CBP")
Lighting Consultants: Equation Lighting ("Equation")
Quantity Surveyor: Gardiner & Theobald ("G&T")
Project Manager: Second London Wall ("SLW")
Fit-out Manager: Rider Levett Bucknall ("RLB").
BLDA was re-placed as architect by Navigant Consulting in about March 2008, which was itself placed by a Mr Mulhearn in about March 2009. A firm called Malishev Wilson Engineers was retained in late 2004 by DMW or possibly BLDA on DMW's behalf to design the lift shaft.
Planning permission had been obtained in 1999 and was subject to a condition that work had to start within 5 years (by 15 June 2004). The first permission was for the demolition of the existing Earls Court telephone exchange which had stood on the site for many years and the second was for the construction of three dwelling houses with basements and attached garages with access from Boltons Place. There was therefore some pressure on all concerned to get the job started within that timescale.
In early 2001 Mr Mackay became aware that BT was proposing to sell the site and he teamed up with two friends, Paul Daniel and Stephen West, to purchase the site for £13.2 million on the basis that each would have one of the three units, A, B and C, Unit C being for Mr and Mrs Mackay. In 2004 the three of them set up DMW as the corporate vehicle through which the development would be carried out. Initially, DMW used the original architects who had helped secure the planning permission. G&T were retained in 2003 as were SLW, CBP and BLDA. In mid-2004, the Mackays retained Fox Linton as the interior designers, in particular Anthony Bevacqua, known as "Bev". It was only later, in February 2005 that the Mackays retained Equation as the lighting consultants. In 2006, RLB was retained to provide a range of quantity surveying, building survey and project management services to manage directly employed artists and tradesmen.
Mr and Mrs Mackay wanted to create what they call their "dream home" for themselves and their two children. Mrs Mackay spent a very large amount of time in researching in particular the interior design and fit out. She collected images from magazines such as "House and Garden". They decided on the overall concept which was to be "modern, stylish, with great attention to detail, luxurious with the highest quality of finish with smart, shiny dark glossy floors, luxurious bathrooms, beautiful lighting and elegant perfect finishes", as Mrs Mackay said in her witness statement.
Separate contractors having been engaged to carry out the demolition work to remove the telephone exchange building, four contractors, including WLC, were invited to tender for the main building works. WLC was to describe itself as having particular and extensive experience of working on high-quality residential and new build projects. On 26...

The authors remind us that 2014/2015 sees the compulsory teaching across two consecutive key stages for the first time since 2004. 'It is clear that issues occurring at one particular key stage are rarely isolated and frequently have a knock on effect on another key stage…' This is of course true in our experience, isn't it?
Four major themes are presented for our consideration in the conclusion.
1. The status of primary languages, 2. The growing tendency to exclude pupils from KS3 and KS4 languages, 3. The negative impact of external assessment systems and school performance measures, 4. The adverse effect of wider societal attitudes.
We are grateful for the work done over several years by Helen Myers and Nick Mair on the issue of severe grading (point 3) as their findings have been acknowledged now. While you are on this website do look at the Changes ahead for MFL exams too, details of an excellent talk given by them and David Blow, the head teacher at Ashcombe School. You will find this very useful as you consider the new specifications.
The authors hope that 'the presentation of the key findings will facilitate productive discussion and debate'. René Koglbauer, the current president of ALL is very keen that we debate these findings. He wants to raise the profile of languages…' with the looming General Election, our focus at ALL is fully directed on the various parties' manifestos and their position towards education, teacher education and language learning.'

We are free to do this. If my Mum was still alive, I know that she would be reminding me how grateful I should be that we are free.
In an interview in the Guardian recently, Miriam González Durántez shared that what she likes is the freedom of choice that we enjoy here.
Last week we looked at the Guardian report 'Living Languages'.
More thoughts on perspectives next week. While I eat a sandwich now, I'll look for that book for my latest project, Mein großes Buch der Kunst. Ich sehe was du nicht siehst. Oh dear, there is one called Mein großes Buch der Farben. Ich sehe was du nicht siehst as well. I'm supposed to be tidying up, not adding to my book collection!

The Eclectic review. vol. 1-New [8th]
noblest reputation was won in the deepest adversity. Sir William Howe had fought and gained the great battle of the Brandywine, which gave the royalists Philadelphia: nor did the subsequent most severe action at Germanstown at all shake his position. As winter came on, the British and Americans withdrew into their respective quarters; the former, surrounded with every comfort in a handsome city, the latter merely hutted, as it was termed, in temporary hovels hastily erected at Valley Forge, a deep and rugged hollow on the west side of the Schuylkill, about twenty miles from Philadelphia. These wretched abodes were made of logs filled in with mortar. When the republican army commenced its march thither, the cold was already intense. Some soldiers were seen to drop down dead from its severity. Others, without shoes, had their feet wounded by the ice, so as to mark their tracks with blood. When once encamped, their position was, in a military sense, perhaps, impregnable; but on no occasion, in modern times, had deeper destitution to be endured. Upon one occasion, the state of the magazines proved to be such, that there was scarcely full provision even for a single day. Hunger alone would have generated the seeds of mutiny, had not overpowering attachment to their leader silenced all complaints. A few had one shirt; many only the moiety of one; and the greater part no rag of personal linen whatever. Blankets for night were as rare as decent habiliments for the day. The celebrated regiment of Falstaff found its antitype in the troops of Congress. The want of straw compelled them to sleep on the bare and humid ground; so that fever and dysentery as rapidly replenished the hospitals as death evacuated them. Three thousand were often on the sick lists at the same time. Out of seventeen thousand on the muster-rolls, not more than five could have manned their lines, had Sir William Howe offered to attack them. This, however, he never attempted; absorbed as his officers were in gaiety, luxury, and dissipation. The quiet yet wealthy capital of Pensylvania seemed a kind of Capua to the royalists, without their having such laurels, as Hannibal had, to rest under, and forfeit the meed of glory through a premature contemplation of their past labours. Sir Henry Clinton at length succeeded to the command on the resignation of General Howe. No access of vigour or judicious management followed upon the change. In parliament, Lord Chatham proposed his plan of conciliation, but was unable to procure its adoption. Ministers had to run the gauntlet of augmented unpopularity, yet they were resolved to continue the war. Fresh reinforcements were enlisted, and recourse was even had to voluntary benevolence, which, although unconstitutional as proposed by Lord North, produced
wonderful results. Liverpool and Manchester each raised, at their own expense, a thousand men. Edinburgh and Glasgow imitated their example. The Highlanders of Scotland descended from their craggy fastnesses to rally round the royal standard. There was now no pretender to engage their unreflecting loyalty, so that their natural regard for the right divine of kings to govern wrong,' developed itself in favour even of a Hanoverian sovereign. They also followed their lords and lairds, who had for a half a generation discovered that Toryism no where so happily flourishes as within the warm precincts of prerogative. London and Bristol leaned to the liberal side, peremptorily refusing to countenance any municipal levies, but each allowing private individuals to subscribe 20,0001. against French machinations. Louis the Sixteenth had acknowledged the independence of the United States, and concluded a treaty with them on the 6th of February, 1778. Hostilities ensued, with but brief delay, between France and England.
From this point all reflecting politicians, except those bound in chains to the chariot wheels of a reckless cabinet, must have discerned the unavoidable issue of the contest. Not but that bitter disappointment at first awaited the expectants of an immediate triumph from the French alliance. The Court of Versailles mainly wished to mortify Great Britain at as small an amount of cost as possible; and, therefore, it for some time did little and professed much. Its greediest gaze settled upon the West Indies, where alone indemnification could be hoped for, through the seizure of some of our rich sugar colonies. Meanwhile, over sea and land spread the horrible conflagrations of warfare. As usual, when it was too late, the British administration resorted to conciliatory measures, amidst immense mockery and derision, the more galling, because felt to be deserved. Of course they were productive of no other results, since contempt was thus allied with hatred. Many such massacres as that of Wyoming had before this period occurred, of which the memory has now perished, perhaps for no other reason than quia vate carent! Campbell having immortalized the tragedy of the Susquehannah, our readers may not object to a glimpse, in plain prose, of what will seldom be read without tears. Some inhabitants from Connecticut had formed the settlement, and laid it out in eight townships, on the road to Oswego. The mildness of the climate answered to the fertility of the soil. "All lived in a happy mediocrity, frugal of their own, and coveting nothing from others. Incessantly occupied in rural toils, they avoided idleness and all the evils of which it is the source. In a word, this little country presented in reality an image of those fabulous times which the poets have described
under the name of the Golden Age. But their domestic felicity was no counterpoise to the zeal with which they were animated for the common cause. They took up arms and flew to succour their country. It is said they had furnished to the army no less than a thousand soldiers; a number truly prodigious for so small a population, and so happy in their homes. Yet, notwithstanding the drain of all their vigorous youth, the abundance of harvest sustained no diminution. Their crowded granaries, and pastures replenished with fat cattle, offered an exhaustless resource to the American forces. Party opinion seems to have been the first serpent that crept into this paradise. Toryism happened to have received some personal slights from the warmer republicans of Wyoming. It vowed revenge, and called in the Indians! Alecto could have done no more, nor Satan himself. About the commencement of July, 1778, the savages rushed upon their prey; ind
prey; indiscriminate slaughter ensued, until the tomahawk, satiated with butchery, paused through weariness. The living were, however, only reserved for tortures. Men, women, and children were promiscuously huddled into a barrack and there burnt alive, as our druidical forefathers used to propitiate their grim idols. Crops of every description were consigned to the flames. A few days before the land was as the garden of Eden; but when the barbarians had let loose both the fire and sword upon it, the smoke from blackened ruins went up towards heaven as the smoke of a furnace. The slight garrison found in the fort of Wilkesbarre were destroyed with torments that may not be described. Even the beasts of the field could find no mercy from these human savages, who deliberately cut out their tongues and left them amidst scenes of desolation, to die a lingering death! Captain Bedlock met a destiny more dreadful than that of Regulus, since he was literally impaled upon splinters of pine-wood stuck all over his body, until at length, something like caprice rather than humanity, consumed him with two of his companions, to ashes upon a funeral pile. "The Tories appeared to vie with, and even to surpass, the savages in barbarity. One of them, whose mother had married a second husband, butchered her with his own hand, and afterwards massacred his father-in-law, his own sisters, and their infants in the cradle! Another killed his own father, and exterminated all his family! A third imbrued his hands in the blood of his brothers, his sisters, his father-in-law, and his brother-in-law. These were a part only of the horrors perpetrated by the loyalists and Indians. Other atrocities, if possible, still more abominable, we leave in silence. Those who had survived the massacres were no less worthy of commiseration; they were women and children, who had
escaped to the woods, at the time their husbands and fathers expired under the blows of the barbarians. Dispersed and wandering in the forests, as chance and fear directed their steps, without clothes, without food, without guides, these defenceless fugitives suffered every degree of distress. Several of the women were delivered alone in the woods, at a great distance from every possibility of relief. The most robust and resolute alone escaped ; the others perished; their bodies, and those of their helpless infants, became the prey of wild beasts. Thus the most flourishing colony then existing in America was totally erased !' This infernal excision of Wyoming will never be forgotten.
Upon a larger scale, blood flowed like water in various quarters. The French captured Dominica and the English St. Lucia. On the American continent our ministers and generals had determined to direct their greatest efforts against the southern parts of the confederation. It was conceived that there were more secret loyalists there; and that Georgia and Carolina could better feed an invading force than the northern states, already devastated or exhausted. Enormous tracts of country were accordingly overrun by invaders, who could only retain them until the republican militia or volunteers had mustered in sufficient numbers to drive their assailants into the cities and strongholds. The islands of St. Vincent and Grenada meanwhile fell into the hands of Count d'Estaing, who, after a naval action with Admiral Byron, sailed for Savannah, the capital of Georgia, which he besieged in conjunction with General Lincoln, although without success. His intention was to return forth with to Europe, but a violent tempest dispersed his ships and sadly baffled any hope entertained of enriching himself with British prizes. Congress having been made, as was asserted, a mere cat's-paw by France to assist her in the acquisition of important sugar-colonies, warmly remonstrated against his withdrawal. Verily the flag of England had seldom been seen to less advantage, since the days of the Dutch wars, after the Restoration : and Spain had now cast her blunted sword into the scale against the Queen of the seas. But the infant republic, about whose cradle so many nations were contending, was at the present crisis, far enough from being itself in a healthy or vigorous state. Lethargy had seized upon all public spirit. What was plainly the grand concern of all, appeared to have lost its power of practically affecting each individual. Washington beheld the scene with undiminished confidence as to the ultimate results, but with ten thousand apprehensions for the immediate honour of his countrymen. They intensely abhorred their former masters: they resolved to stand to the last by liberty and independence; but the sacrifices already rendered, disinclined them
to further personal exertions. France and Spain were now too perfectly committed against Great Britain to forsake their cause until the struggle should have reached its issue, although both these powers enjoyed little current popularity, through their manifest selfishness and lukewarmness. The seeds of those evils also began to appear above ground, which have since blossomed into commercial dishonesty and Pensylvanian repudiation.
Botta observes,
• Nor were the Americans chargeable only with indifference, for there prevailed amongst them the most shameless thirst after gain,an unbridled desire for riches, no matter by what means acquired. The most illicit, the most disgraceful ways, were no obstacle to this devouring passion. As it happens but too often in political revolutions, there had sprang up a race of men, who sought to take private advantage of the public distress. Dependence or independence, liberty or no liberty, were (was] all one to them, provided they could fatten on the substance of the state. While good citizens were wasting themselves in camps, or in the discharge of other arduous functions; while they were devoting to their country their time, their estates, their very existence, these insatiable robbers were plundering and sharing out, without a blush, the public plunder and private fortunes. All contracts became the object of their usurious interference and nefarious gains: all army supplies enriched them with peculations; and the state often paid dearly for what it never obtained. Nor let any imagine that the most sincere and virtuous friends of their country ever made so pompous a parade of their zeal! To hear these vile beings, theywere only animated with genuine and glowing patriotism. Every citizen of eminent rank, or invested with any public authority whatever, who refused to connive at their rapines, was immediately denounced as tory, lukewarm royalists sold to England. It would seem that the first duty of those who governed the republic, in times of such distress, was to fill the coffers of these flaming patriots. That their own praises should always have hung upon their lips is not to be wondered at, for there never has existed a robber who has not been first a cheat; but what seems really strange, and almost staggers belief, is that they could have found dupes and partisans. This public pest spread wider every day: it had already gangrened the very heart of the state! The good were silenced, the corrupt plumed themselves upon their effrontery; every thing presaged an approaching ruin. It was the hope of England. Shall we attempt to penetrate the causes of so great a change in a nation once so distinguished for the purity of its manners ?'pp. 411–412.
Without pretending to enumerate them all, one can hardly help seeing that large allowances must be made, in the very commencement, for the natural selfishness of mankind : trahit sua quemque voluptas. The profession of political liberalism was not conversion of the heart. On the other hand, it


An art project sees Paris's RER trains transformed into replicas of the Palace of Versailles, so you can travel (almost) like a king.
The Palace of Versaille is decadent, luxurious, beautiful, colourful and a highlight of many people's visits to Paris.
The RER, the city's commuter train line, is, well, the complete opposite.
But that's about to change, as five trains on the RER C line are set to get a royal makeover and be transformed into different parts of the grounds and gardens of the palace.
To complete the transformation, the AdKeys agency painstakingly apply a thin plastic film to the carriages, turning them into the spitting image of the palace - a process that rail operator SNCF says was like "a delicate puzzle".
Different carriages recreate the gardens, fountains or interiors, including details such as flowers, books and ceiling panels. The trains will hit the tracks from Wednesday, May 25th.
It's all part of Art in Transit, an annual project by rail company SNCF to beautify its trains. Previous years have seen the trains recreate Impressionist paintings and tourist favourite Musee d'Orsay, but this year they have taken inspiration from the "richness" of Versailles.
The RER C takes passengers from central Paris to the Palace of Versailles, taking in numerous other tourist destinations along the way - in fact, tourists make up ten percent of its passengers.
SNCF said the aim of Art in Transit was to "make the conditions more pleasant for tourists and daily commuters" and it is also an innovative way of promoting a key heritage site. So you'll be able to feel like a king as you ride the train - if you can ignore the fact that you're crammed into a carriage with dozens of strangers.
Over seven million people visit the palace – France's third most visited tourist site – every year, which was the principal residence of French kings from the time of Louis XIV to Louis XVI. In 2003, a huge restoration project was launched, which is scheduled to continue until 2020.

Additional Battery Guidance
Types of Batteries
There are many kinds of batteries available today, and several are regulated as hazardous materials in transportation that may only be shipped by contract hazmat shippers.
Common in cars, electric wheelchairs, some continuous computer power sources, and other applications. These batteries contain highly corrosive acid and can cause fires from short circuits.
Non-spillable Batteries
Tested, proven non-spillable batteries are allowed to be shipped as non-hazardous within the U.S. Batteries and packaging must be marked "NONSPILLABLE" or "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY".
Lithium Metal and Lithium Ion Batteries
These batteries can be rechargeable or non-rechargeable power sources and are common in computers, cell phones, cameras, and other small electronic devices. If dropped, crushed, or short-circuited, lithium batteries can release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, making them dangerous in fires.
Although common dry cell (e.g., AA, C, D) batteries may not be regulated as hazardous materials, all batteries can cause fires from short circuits if batteries and terminals are not protected.
Protect Batteries and Terminals
When shipping batteries, you must protect all terminals against short circuits by completely covering the terminals with an insulating material (e.g., by using electrical tape or enclosing each battery separately in a plastic bag).
Short circuits can cause fires.
Package the batteries to keep them from being crushed or damaged, and to keep them from shifting during handling.
Always keep metal objects or other materials that can short circuit battery terminals securely away from the batteries - e.g., by using separate inner box for the batteries.
Prevent Fires
Any device with installed batteries must not turn on while in transport. Protect switches that can be accidentally activated, or remove the batteries and protect the terminals.
Even very simple devices like flashlights or rechargeable drills can generate a dangerous quantity of heat if accidentally activated.
Recalled or Recycled Batteries
Never ship recalled or recycled batteries by air.
Air level services include UPS Worldwide ExpressSM, and UPS Worldwide ExpeditedSM.
Electronic Items for Repair
Repair items, such as computers and cell phones, should be sent without batteries.
This is only a sampling of trigger terms that should prompt further questions about a shipment. There are many more, and it is hoped that seeing these will lead you to think about other general terms that may warrant further investigation.

Dogball - difficult to explain, easy to play.
Get Games - personalize these to your group.
One Part Word Game - good game to play now and then.
I just lost the game - a game you do not want to play.
DogBall is a fun interactive game, guaranteed to annoy anyone. The rules are simple except for the complexities.
Play: To DogBall someone, point your finger at them and say "DogBall". If that person is not protected (see below), then they are DogBalled and should feel foolish. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME WITH STRANGERS. They will look at you funny.
The person attempting to DogBall you can see the back of your shoulders.
You could not DogBall them -- that is, their fingers are crossed, they're sitting, etc.
Note: a Croquet mallet, held with the handle facing forward and the base of the mallet turned sideways -- perpendicular to the ground, is equivalent to a gun and so is considered a weapon. Turned any other way, it's just a mallet.
There are currently three "Get Games" known to exist in the world, although scientists are always searching for more.
Whenever someone says "Get Rick", you must tap someone other than yourself who is not named "Rick" on the shoulder.
Whenever someone says "Get Doug", you must tap yourself twice on the chest.
Whenever someone says "Get Steve", you must hit your head twice on some solid object, such as a desk, table, wall, tree, etc.
The only one of these with any sort of penalty for not following the rules is "Get Rick". If you should happen to tap someone named "Rick" on the shoulder then you are in the dog house. You can no longer play the game until someone else makes the same horrendous mistake and lands themselves in the dog house.
In the one part word game, you want to just say words that are not hard to say. Ones that do not have more than one part to them, that is, which just have one syllable1.
Object: To talk like most do, just with words that do not have more parts to them than one. When you fail, you must stand up (if you are not like that) and say "Woof! Woof! Woof!" quite loud.
Play: The more you can talk with no bad things said, the more good you are. It is at times fun to play this game with folk who do not know that it is the game that you play. There could be a time when they sense that you play it at which point they start to play too.
Note: The word OK1 is a two part word. "Fine" is a good word to use in place of that one.
The winning strategy for this game is to forget all about it, never play it and never be around anyone who does play it.

Insound Magazine functions as a promotional hand out and also as a supplement for Insound's online music and product orders. The theme for the 2010 Spring/Summer issue is vinyl. More specifically the behind the scenes process that ultimately puts records into the hands of music fans with a focus on labels, pressing plants, and mastering.
The magazine was also floating around the 2010 SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas. We wanted the image for the cover to be bright, colorful, and visually appealing weather it was received by mail or picked up off the street.
