Our annual review of new books by local authors & illustrators.
November 22, 2019 | Tracey Fockler | Arts
Make room in the bookcase. It has been another banner year for writers in these hills!
Outdoor enthusiasts will be delighted by a trio of new trail guides. N. Glenn Perrett encourages a soothing session of forest bathing in any one of southern Ontario's six national parks. Nicola Ross provides more ways to enjoy the outdoors with a new volume in her Loops & Lattes series. And The Caledon Trailway is part trail guide, part local history and entirely a worthy addition to coffee tables everywhere.
Love to get lost in good storytelling? Sally Cooper, Oakland Ross, A.G. Pasquella and Jess Taylor have all published new novels. How about historical fiction based on true events? Wendy Appleton's account of growing up in England during the Blitz and Marina Reed's trials in "paradise" might just fill the bill.
If inspirational memoirs are your thing, Catherine Gildiner's Good Morning, Monster and Roland Kirouac's Message from a Fool are excellent recommendations. What's more, there's poetry and paranormal, business advice and a Sean Cassidy classic, Hanna Bear's Christmas, newly released in paperback, just in time for Christmas.
So many books! So little time! A wonderful predicament, indeed.
Good Morning, Monster
Five Heroic Journeys to Recovery
by Catherine Gildiner
When retired clinical psychotherapist Catherine Gildiner identifies as heroes the five clients she profiles in Good Morning, Monster, you better believe she means what she writes in every sense of the word. From the woman who took on horrific mistreatment to save her younger sister from the same fate to the Cree man unable to experience even the most basic emotions after his time at residential school, Gildiner tells the story of people who battled to break the cycle of abuse and emerged as role models for and mentors to others. Inspirational.
Catherine Gildiner is the best-selling author of the memoir Too Close to the Falls and its two sequels. She divides her time between homes in Toronto and Creemore. (Viking, $26.95)
Swimming with Horses
by Oakland Ross
Small-town Ontario, 1963. The arrival of teen bombshell Hilary Anson collides with 15-year-old Sam Mitchell's life like a live hand grenade. Hilary rides horses like an Amazon and shocks him with anecdotes from her previous life in apartheid-era South Africa. Her eventual disappearance, coinciding with a murder, leaves Sam asking questions that will haunt him into adulthood.
A former feature writer and foreign correspondent, freelance writer Oakland Ross is a novelist and memoirist who spent his childhood on horseback in Caledon. He now lives in Toronto. (Dundurn, $20.99)
With My Back to the World
by Sally Cooper
Forging a new direction in life has very real costs. For some, it means the end of habitual comforts, a turning away from certain belief systems, a restructuring of family and friends, even the death of some relationships. For three women – Rudie, a young woman hoping to adopt a Haitian child in 2010; Ellen, a black woman presented with the dead body of her husband in the wilds of central Ontario in the 1870s; and Agnes, an artist trying to recover from a breakdown in the 1970s – overcoming the obstacles in the path to a better life tests everything they think they know about themselves.
Sally Cooper skilfully weaves these seemingly disparate stories into a fully satisfying whole.
Hamilton resident Sally Cooper grew up in Inglewood. Her previous novels include Tell Everything and Smells Like Heaven. (James Street North Books, $22)
The Caledon Trailway
by Diane Allengame

Lovely colour photography by Rosemary Hasner, Nathan Hiller and Pete Paterson, along with archival images and maps, trace the trail's history from an abandoned 19th-century railway bed through to its physical construction and beyond. Readers meet the municipal, provincial and federal workers who got the project off the ground, as well as the many volunteers who gave (and still give) countless hours of labour. Additional chapters focus on the trail's links to other nearby trails – the Bruce and Oak Ridges – and its connection to the Great Trail, which spans the country. As a bonus, readers are treated to a trail diary by author and environmental activist Nicola Ross. (Caledon Trailway Book Committee, $40)

Just Pervs
by Jess Taylor
The short stories in Just Pervs delve into the complex domain of female sexuality. Fresh, honest and at times alarming, Jess Taylor's young women pinball from partner to partner as some yearn for simple, physical touch while others flail helplessly through doomed relationships. In a culture of short attention spans and instant gratification, in which everything is disposable and everyone is self-medicating, what the characters really crave – true human connection – hovers frustratingly out of reach.
Pauls, Jess Taylor's first story collection, drew national praise. Taylor grew up in Palgrave and now lives in Toronto. (Book*hug Press, $20)

But from the moment the plane lands, she and her 12-year-old son discover they are far from paradise. Just securing the basics of food and water involves a steep learning curve, and the streets are rife with drugs and violence. Instead of feeling gratitude, the islanders openly despise their "white saviours" – and Heather must decide which is more important: sticking with her romanticized notion of helping the less fortunate or keeping herself and her son safe.
Based on a true story, It's Lonely in Paradise is Orangeville resident Marina Reed's second novel. Her first, Primrose Street, was published in 2018. (MLR, $19.95)

Q: What is the purpose of the flag --reset-cache in react-native start command I am curious about this flag because since I've started building apps using react native I have been using it, without any clue what it really is.

A: See when you do yarn start or npm start or react-native start
what it does is it starts the Metro bundler, builds a JS bundle , uses that in the app .
When you do yarn start --reset-cache or whatever command you use to start your app. it resets the JS bundle by bundling again.
So sometimes what happens is you add some code in JS layer and when debugging you cant see console.logs etc, but reset-cache ensures that latest JS bundle is taken :)
Hope it helps
You can see in the picture below, it says cache was reset

KONYA, TURKEY – Genc Degirmen is installing solar energy panels on the roof of its factory in Konya, Turkey, that will create enough power for its own needs as well as surplus electricity.
Approximately 10,000 square meters of a solar energy power plant will be installed in the company's 30,000-square-meter factory. A total of 3,870 solar unit panels will be installed in the net area of 6,600 square meters with production of 1,044 kWp. Investment cost for this facility is $1.2 million.
With this investment, Genc Degirmen said it will be able to meet the electricity need in the current situation and create an extra commercial potential because it can produce more electricity than is needed.

Q: How to create a custom population generator with the R GA package? I'm working on an optimsation problem using R's GA package with a 'permutation' type genetic algorithm. I need to introduce some parameters for how the initial population is generated before parents selection and crossover. The reason for this is: there is a general framework for arrangements of the genes in the chromosomes that can work at all, but at the same time, I do need a lot of randomization to find local maxima--not just test some suggested solutions using the suggestions argument of the ga() function.
If you check out the R GA package github repo, you can see there's a population generator function on line 576 that does the following:
gaperm_Population_R <- function(object)
{
  int <- seq.int(object@lower, object@upper)
  n <- length(int)
  population <- matrix(NA, nrow = object@popSize, ncol = n)
  for(i in 1:object@popSize)
     population[i,] <- sample(int, replace = FALSE)
  return(population)
}

I want to create a new function that is quite similar, but which takes some pre-calculated parameters pop_parms, and then call that function through the population argument of the ga() function, instead of using the default function, population = gaControl(type)$population.
My new function would look like this, with the new pop_parms argument:
gaperm_Feasible_Pop <- function(object, pop_parms)
{
  int <- seq.int(object@lower, object@upper)
  n <- length(int)
  population <- matrix(NA, nrow = object@popSize, ncol = n)
  for(i in 1:object@popSize)
    population[i,] <- sapply(pop_parms, function(x) sample(x, replace = FALSE)
      )
  return(population)
}

Of course, when I try to use this function, the package doesn't know how to pass through the object parameter.
Is there anyone who could help me get this function to work, or perhaps take a different approach?

The world now has crushed into one single roof with the newest of technology and innovations; everything seems to be so easy and basic just with one tap or touch. Earlier what could have charged you and me a hundreds of bucks is now being able to be done at minimal or no cost. That's the power of technology that has taken control over the world. Technology now has been able to do all the tasks and activities that earlier required human force and it is quite predictable that in the coming times everything would be fully automated with minimal human effort. Artificial intelligence is changing the ways we used to think about technology. It has rephrased the technology and its uses.
"Time is money" as quoted by Benjamin Franklin are the golden words that got proved time and again. The present technology aims at reducing the required time for any activity.
Stephen Hawking once said "it (AI) would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution couldn't compete and would be superseded."
Let's get straight to what AI is. AI is "the theory and development of computer system able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making and translation between languages."
There are various questions striked on the entry of sentient robots and AI into the world of human beings. Perhaps the most important of them is, does AI pose a serious threat to the human race? In a 2014 interview, the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking quoted that, "the development of artificial intelligence could spell the end of human race." Elon Musk, CEO of spaceX, tweeted recently "If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea."
What are these threats we are talking about and should be taking care of? Many experts are skeptical of developing AI too quickly. The possible threat it could pose may sound like science fiction, but they ultimately prove to be valid concerns. Some of the possible threats could be -
A lot of jobs will be lost when the artificial intelligence will take over the public and private sector, and a lot of new jobs will hopefully be created. Existing norms regarding a human being's right to privacy will shift to make room for new ones. All in all, society will see a huge change in terms of our moral inclinations as AI or robots are brought into the mix. The only way to make this revolution human-friendly is to control it from up close and personally.
The existing AI products are upgrading faster and are promising to radically transform our world, not always for the better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will revise what work means and how money is minted, leading to unparalleled economic inequalities and even shifting the global balance of power.
Unlike the Industrial and computer revolution, the A.I. revolution is not taking certain jobs (artisans, personal assistants who use paper and typewriters) and replacing them with other jobs (assembly-line workers, personal assistants conversant with computers). Instead, it is supposed to bring about a huge devastation of jobs - mostly lower-paying jobs, but some higher-paying ones, too.
Idealistic agree that while AI technology can be utilized to help humans in areas such as medicine and care for the aged, AI's ability to self-learn and act on that new knowledge is a real and present threat and needs immediate and tough governmental regulatory oversight.
The main concern about advanced AI isn't enmity but competence. A super-intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren't aligned with ours, we have a problem.
You're probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you're in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there's an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. A key goal of AI safety research is to never place humanity in the position of those ants.
Thus,we believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits of AI while avoiding pitfalls.
You realize that there is no free will in what we create with AI. Everything functions within rules and parameters. - Clyde DeSouza

The State of RPKI as We Enter 2022
By Nathalie Trenaman Routing Security Programme Manager at RIPE NCC
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a method to secure internet routing traffic by cryptographically verifying routes. As we begin 2022, we look back at 2021 and see how the year saw another significant step towards its adoption. High-profile issues with the old trust-based model of Border Gateway Protocol, designed several decades ago, have shown the continued importance of protecting popular networks from mistakes or hackers.
The RIPE NCC is one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) providing Internet resource registration services and coordinating activities for the Internet for Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Last year, the RIPE NCC was pleased to report that more and more networks worldwide had implemented RPKI. The number of RPKI certificates and ROAs has already risen by 26% and 38% respectively since 2020, significantly strengthening the security and stability of the Internet ecosystem as a whole.
Progress in 2021
Several high-profile global ISPs, such as Amazon Web Services and Comcast, have already opted to embrace RPKI. A couple of incidents provide clues as to why. In April 2018 Amazon's DNS servers were hit by hijackers who guided the traffic to a fake version of MyEtherWallet, an Amazon Web Service's customer. Although it appeared the website was based in Germany, the incident was routed in Ukraine, facilitating hackers to steal $160,000 from Ether wallet users. Oracle's Internet Intelligence claimed the attack on AWS's DNS servers succeeded because the group of hackers was able to hijack a BGP route and oversee the Internet traffic targeting Amazon. An attack like this is not a single event but a problem which keeps happening. In May 2021, one of the largest American Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Comcast reported leveraging RPKI into its Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security in an effort to strengthen their network's security and maintain customer safety against BGP route hijacks. The move came a month after an extensive BGP leak in Vodafone's autonomous network (AS55410) in India which hit thousands of networks around the world, affecting large-scale companies like Google. Several of Comcast's prefixes were also reportedly impacted. In response, Jason Livingood, Comcast Cable's Vice President of Technology Policy & Standards, stated the company now cryptographically signs route information whilst validating the cryptographic signatures of the route information of other networks. These developments illustrate that more companies are realising the value of RPKI and advocating for its adoption in an effort to strengthen and secure the network as a whole.
Getting the most out of RPKI
As similar leaks and hijacks are likely to occur in the future, ISPs may wish to benefit from RPKI adoption sooner rather than later. But how can they make RPKI as efficient as possible as we head into 2022?
Holders of IP addresses and ASNs should develop a cryptographic statement, or Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) which can only be created by an authentic holder of the prefix. The statement also indicates the AS number that is accredited with originating the prefix on the Internet. As a consequence, the route announcements have been certified as legitimate, coming from the route they state, in a process called Route Origin Validation. The route is then filtered and 'invalid' routes are dismissed during the Route Filtering - a significant feature that blocks malicious actors from originating false routes as well as prohibits the transmission of any misconfiguration that could potentially lead to a major accident. NOS Comunicações and Vocus, prominent Internet Service Providers in Portugal and Australia respectively, have both signed their prefixes and are rejecting invalid routes.
Route filtering is only effective when organisations generate ROAs to identify the origin of a prefix to protect their routes from leaks and hijacks. With the development of ROAs, RPKI can cryptographically verify if a network's IP addresses are legitimate. Hijacking, purposeful or not, can lead to network outages which helps hackers disrupt Internet traffic. In June 2020 IBM experienced an outage worldwide that stemmed from a false BGP route and led to connectivity problems for websites and platforms running on IBM Cloud. It is, therefore, imperative to preserve data and to renew cryptographic certificates on a regular basis, as well as anytime a holder hands over IP addresses or ASN to another actor.
2022 Progress lies in the hands of tier 2 ISPs
However, there is still work to do. The RPKI model is most effective when adopted by multiple parties, with many Tier 1 ISPs already making progress. Now the ball is in the hands of Tier 2 ISP, such as Virgin and BT, and Internet exchanges to help secure the whole routing path for all. Yet, the global pandemic brought about many challenges, making some ISPs reluctant to initiate major changes like RPKI adoption. Internet traffic in the UK has also increased by 78% in a year according to UK ISP Zen Internet's research, this has pushed ISPs to opt solely for mandatory upgrades.
While it's true that network outages related to upgrades are likely to occur, the risk is negligible in comparison to the ever-growing threat of cyber-attacks that could have long-standing effects on business as well as people's personal and professional lives.
With Tier 2 ISPs gradually following the lead of Tier 1 ISPs, RIPE NCC supports their endeavours to strengthen the network for all, and provides clear data by offering a stable and secure Trust Anchor. The future of the Internet can only be ensured through a unified effort.

The foreknowledge of extinction
John Launer
Dr John Launer, London Deanery, Stewart House, London WC1B 5DN, UK; jlauner{at}londondeanery.ac.uk
http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/pgmj.2009.081257
We are, so far as we know, the first species that has foreseen its own extinction. In the distant past, this foreknowledge took the form of myths, including visions of Armageddon. In the last couple of centuries, however, we have been able to give precise scientific shape to such forebodings. Modern astronomy and physics have proved that the solar system, galaxies and the universe itself have a finite life—although their end is so far away that people don't usually lie in bed worrying about it. More urgently, Darwin's discoveries have taught us that every species is mortal. Few, except very primitive ones such as thermophilic bacteria, can withstand for very long the buffets of an environment that changes perpetually. Most are only around for a fairly short period. Although he never actually spelt it out (he already had enough worries about upsetting public opinion), Darwin made it as clear as possible that human beings were unlikely to be exceptions in this respect.
Darwin wouldn't have hazarded a guess as to exactly how long homo sapiens would remain viable on the planet. Since his time, however, the prognosis for our collective life expectancy has become much clearer. It looks bleak. We know more than anyone did 150 years ago about the interactions between global vegetation, atmospheric gases, temperature and sea level. We realise with clarity the contribution we have made ourselves to planetary changes. Although we aren't the first species to have hastened its own decline through population growth and depredation of resources, we may well represent one of the most dramatic examples of this process. Irreversible changes in our environment probably became inevitable as soon as we discovered fire and invented agriculture in prehistoric times. In the past three or four hundred years, the use of fossil fuels has vastly accelerated such changes. Now, that acceleration is carrying on pretty much exponentially.
REGULAR WARNINGS
Over the course of my own lifetime, I've heard regular warnings that we only had a few years or decades to bring a halt to the process. People already knew about greenhouse gases when I went to primary school in the 1950s. Our teachers explained that we would have to reduce these within 30 years, in order to prevent global warming. The prediction may have been optimistic even then. Having passed that deadline long ago, I now have little reason to doubt the view of the ecological guru James Lovelock that we are now well past the "tipping point" in climate change, and should plan for adjustment to the inevitable rather than undertaking futile measures aimed at prevention.
In his most recent book,1 Lovelock has some quite specific proposals about how we should prepare ourselves for changes that will probably take place in our own lifetime, and certainly in our children's. He warns us to expect huge movements of populations. (Arguably, these are already taking place: some people have linked the upheavals, humanitarian disasters and mass migrations in Africa to rising temperatures, soil erosion and consequent land shortages.) He believes that the overall population of the planet will decline massively over the next century, possibly from seven billion to one billion. He believes the population will become concentrated on higher ground in temperate zones, of which places such as Britain, Japan and New Zealand offer examples, as well as parts of the United States, Canada and Russia.
Lovelock proposes that we should start now to prepare for forms of civil society and agriculture fitted for this kind of demographic picture. In particular, he thinks we should adapt our energy sources to make it possible for humanity to survive in a limited number of enormous conurbations with an adequate food supply. Surprisingly, he is a great proponent of nuclear power as a way of making this feasible, although he has nothing to say—at least in this book—about the potential risks of storing the nuclear waste.
GRIM IMPLICATIONS
Although he describes himself as an optimist, the implications of Lovelock's forecasts are grim. It's hard to imagine the events that will accompany climate change, presumably including wars and famines as well as vast numbers of refugees. It is even harder to imagine how any political state other than a violently authoritarian one might manage a systematic reduction in people's material expectations, or impose the kind of infrastructure needed to allow the world's remnant population to endure for much longer. Lovelock, perhaps understandably, does not go there. He also says little about the frame of mind needed to contemplate our likely future without either denial or despair.
Lovelock does make a useful comparison, however, between our ecological predicament and the worldwide bubble in the financial markets in the last couple of decades. He points out that we have taken the same cheerfully delusional attitude to both. He stops short of saying that the bursting of the bubble and the moment of passing the ecological "tipping point" are actually connected, but I suspect they are. Like many people, I have a sense there is a profound link between the global financial crash and the last pyrotechnic climax of industrial society. Our beliefs in the power of markets, the inexhaustibility of fuel, and the immutability of our climate have all become inflated in recent years. They have been driven by the identical fin de siècle mania. It may be no coincidence that we are having to shed them all at the same time too.
It is hard to resist making another connection too. Our approach to medicine may have become governed by exactly the same mind set as the financial markets and industry. As doctors, we have generally looked to technological solutions in cases where better human interactions might be at least as good, or possibly even better. We still find it hard to anticipate people's deaths and prepare them for it, just as we denied for so long that the money and the oil would ever run out. Rather than helping people to live in the moment, and celebrate whatever transient comforts they may have, we drive them onwards to a dimly imagined state of bodily perfection and immortality that will never come.
Over the next few decades, the Earth will change. Whatever alterations come about in the balance of atmospheric gases or the level of the oceans, the ecology will become re-calibrated. Natural selection will benefit some other species as it has always done before. Global ecology has responded many times to natural fluctuations in temperature, as well as to far greater annoyances than human beings will ever bring about. The planet, of course, will survive. As James Lovelock good-humouredly points out, "Save the World" is merely a fatuous and self-serving slogan. What we really want to save is our way of life, and that is no longer possible. Medicine, along with everything else, will need to adapt to the realities.

Gold BullionGold Rounds
Gold Rounds
1/10 oz Gold Rounds (Varied)
Gold Rounds Available Online at Silver.com
You'll find gold for sale online today in a variety of styles and types. Gold bullion products are available as bars, coins, and even rounds. A gold round is a unique type of investment-grade and collectible gold. While coins are produced by sovereign and private mints around the globe with a face value, gold rounds are produced exclusively by private mints. Gold rounds are similar to gold bars in that right, but provide a different option for investors and collectors when compared to bars. Now, you can learn all about gold rounds at Silver.com.
Gold Rounds vs. Gold Bars and Gold Coins
While gold coins and gold bars are available as both investment-grade and collectible products, gold rounds differ from these two options in important ways. Gold bars are produced in a variety of styles ranging from cast gold bars purely for the sake of investing in gold to minted gold ingots that offer both investment and collectible value. Many minted gold ingots even have intricate designs similar to what you might find on gold rounds.
Gold bullion coins, on the other hand, are produced by government and private mints for nations to issue. Bullion coins are investment-grade and proof coins are ideal for collecting. The designs on gold coins are distinct to each issuing nation and often feature national symbols. Bullion coins can have unlimited mintage figures, though proof gold coins typically have set mintage caps and designs that may be available only for a limited time.
Gold rounds share facets of both gold bars and gold rounds. Like gold bars, gold rounds are primarily issued by private mints. Similar to gold coins, gold rounds often feature intricate designs and may even use historic coin designs, such as some of the most coveted historic US coin designs. Gold rounds have the benefit of lower premiums over the spot price of gold because they are produced at private mints and generally have no mintage limit restricting the availability of designs.
Who Produces Gold Rounds?
As referred to above, gold rounds are minted by private minting facilities. Only sovereign mints or private mints working with national reserve banks can issue gold bullion coins with an official face value. In the United States, for example, the United States Mint is the only facility with the authority of Congress to strike and issue gold coins with an official face value. As a result, private mints such as the Golden State Mint produce gold rounds for investors and collectors to purchase. Examples of these products include Saint-Gaudens' Liberty design on the face of gold rounds.
Why is it called a Gold Round?
These gold products are available with the name "gold round" because of the exclusive use of the term coin. In the United States, coin refers to a precious metal product that has an official face value issued by the US Mint and backed by the federal government. In order to differentiate these products in the precious metals market, gold products with the same shape as a coin but not issued by a sovereign government are referred to as "rounds."
Availability of Gold Rounds
Generally speaking, gold rounds have greater availability to both investors and collectors than gold coin counterparts. Similar to gold bars, gold rounds in an investment-grade option are regularly struck year after year as an option for those gold buyers looking to invest in the popular yellow metal as a means of diversifying a portfolio. When compared to historic gold coins or proof gold coins, gold rounds offer the same beautiful designs and finishes with higher mintage figures. This means there is a lower premium over the spot price of gold because gold rounds lack the rarity of proof gold coins.

Alternate Spellings of Surname: Schindel, Schindle, Shindel, Shindle.
Born in Sunbury, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania on 26 June 1834, John Young Shindel, M.D. was a grandson of the Rev. J.P. Shindel, Sr., one of the earliest Lutheran ministers in Dauphin, Northumberland, Union, and neighboring counties; and the son of the Rev. J.P. Shindel, Jr. of Middleburg. He was also a grandson (maternal) of John Young, a respected Sunbury merchant.
Sometime during the Spring of 1840, John Y. Shindel and his family relocated to Middleburg in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. It was here that young Shindel completed his early schooling and also became an instructor, during the winter terms of 1851-52 and 1852-53, at the school at Hassinger's Church, which was located west of Middleburg.
John Y. Shindel pursued his initial studies in medicine at Sunbury, Northumberland County under the direction of his uncle, Dr. Daniel Webster Shindel, before becoming a lecture attendee in the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia (1853-54 and 1854-55).
On 3 March 1855, he was awarded a Doctor of Medicine degree from Pennsylvania College. He opened his first private practice in Bannerville, Snyder County on 1 December 1855.
In 1856, John Y. Shindel married Sarah J. Moatz of Middleburg. The daughter of George Moatz, she died of typhoid just eight months later.
In September 1857, he relocated his private practice to Middleburg and, in the Spring of 1858, he married Ada Moatz. Their daughter, Mary Sophia, was born in Middleburg on 1 September 1860 but, sadly, died in infancy on 22 June 1861. Their son, George Moatz Shindel, who was born earlier (on 4 February 1859), would go on to live a long, full life. George became a banker, and married Alice Eisenhart, the daughter of former sheriff, Daniel Eisenhart. Together, they had a son, William Shindel.
In October 1859, John Y. Shindel, M.D. was elected as an Auditor for Snyder County. During the Civil War, he was appointed as the Deputy Provost Marshal for Snyder County.
On 25 February 1865, John Young Shindel, M.D. entered Civil War service, and was commissioned as an Assistant Surgeon with the 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. In addition to caring for members of the regiment while the 47th was assigned to protect the nation's capital following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, he was in charge of caring for the sick while the regiment was stationed in Savannah, Georgia in June 1865.
He mustered out with his regiment at Charleston, South Carolina on 25 December 1865. Departing from Charleston on 3 January, he was shipped with his regiment to New York City and then Philadelphia, where he received his honorable discharge paperwork and formally mustered out on 10 January 1866.
In the mid to late 1800s, Dr. Shindel also became more active in civic and political affairs. Elected to several terms as Middleburg school director, he also served as secretary of the first Middleburg Council, and then as chief burgess of Middleburg. In 1871, he was appointed U.S. examining surgeon of pensions. In January 1887, he was installed as surgeon of the Capt. Ryan Post of the G.A.R. And in October 1899, he was elected as chairman of the Snyder County chapter of the Republican party.
On 5 January 1910, John Young Shindel, M.D died from angina pectoris in Middleburg, Snyder County, Pennsylvania. He was interred at the Glendale Cemetery in Middleburg, Snyder County Pennsylvania on 8 January 1910.

When it comes to work, why do we have a tendency to think about the negative? That's the question Organizational Psychologist Theresa Glomb asked in her TED Talk "Let's make work better". Dr. Glomb dedicated her life to the study of workers and organizations, going from factories to call centers to hospitals and nursing homes to analyze work behaviors.
Surveying individuals several times a day over a period of several weeks, Glomb discovered that good things do happen at work three to five time more frequently than bad ones. However, employees still tend to focus on the negative outcomes they've faced rather than the positive ones. What's more, the same study also discovered that negative things happening at work can have five to ten times more impact on an employee's individual than positives experiences.
Truth is workers, in every industry no matter their title, have tremendous power over their work life, and being happy at work comes down to three simple, yet incredibly powerful rules.
After realizing that there's a widespread tendency for people to dwell on the negative aspects affecting their happiness at work, Dr. Glomb decided to devote herself to educating and encouraging people on how important it is to also reflect and refocus on positive experiences at work.
As part of her experiment, Glomb asked the surveyed workers to write about three good things that happened at work each day, and explain why it made them feel good. Would this practice increase their wellbeing? As it turned out, it did.
As a result, participants felt less stressed, had fewer physical complaints at the end of the day (less muscle tension or headaches), fewer mental complaints (concentration issues, rumination), and in some cases, it even lowered their blood pressure.
According to Dr. Glomb, one of the key drivers of our good mood at work is making meaningful progress on our tasks. Admittedly, our work environment doesn't always support meaningful progress given that some of us may experience several interruptions during our workday. Count how many times a day you're interrupted or distracted from the task you're attempting to complete… Now think of how it made you feel.
Additionally, if you're attempting to improve your workplace happiness by being more productive, then you should stop multitasking when you can and opt for "single-tasking" as much as possible.
Dr. Glomb believes, given the results of her study, that multi-tasking generally tends to act as a downer. It actually prevents employees from feeling a sense of progress paramount to one's overall job satisfaction. Going from one task to another without fully completing anything can be void of any sense of fulfillment. This, in turn, leads to unhappiness at work.
So how do we do that and connect to our work? The answer is relatively simple.
We need to be more judicious when deciding what work to focus on at any given moment of our workday. We should stop concentrating too much on task management and spend more time thinking about results management. In regards to what you're doing in your day, ask yourself: is this the best way for me to spend my time? If you dedicate your attention toward your purposeful intentions and what you actually want to accomplish, you'll make meaningful progress at work in no time.
People who help others experience a mood boost. It's important to remember that when feeling a bit down, helping others helps you feel good about yourself. Whether it's helping to clean the office after the annual holiday party, or trying to solve an issue a particular coworker is facing, your happiness at work is in no small part correlated to your colleagues' happiness.

IL FANTASTICO VIAGGIO DEL "BAGAROZZO" MARK
"Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark" (English translation: "The Fantastic Journey of the Beetle Mark") is the 4th full-length studio album by Italian progressive rock artist Goblin. The album was released through Cinevox Records in 1978. It´s the successor to "Suspiria" from 1977. Unlike its predecessor "Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark" is not a soundtrack album, but instead a concept album telling the story of a flying bug named Mark and his colorful adventures in the imaginary land of Goblin. Two of the tracks from the album ("La danza" and "Notte") were however used on the soundtrack for the George A. Romero 1978 horror movie "Martin" (known internationally as "Wampyr").
"Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark" is the first Goblin to feature vocals (at least traditional singing with lyrics), which are performed by guitarist Massimo Morante. He has a pleasant voice and can sing both melodic, theatrical/paatos filled (in the typical Italian tradition), and a little more raw and hard rocking when that is called for. Considering this is his first vocal performance with Goblin he does a great job here.
Stylistically the material on "Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark" is symphonic progressive rock. An organic and well playing rhythm section, both electic and acoustic guitars (and some very well played guitar solos), and loads of synths and keyboards. I hear influences form artists like Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Genesis here and there, but Goblin manage to create a relatively distinct sound. Goblin bring a few electronic elements, a couple of saxophone solos, and a disco beat to the table too, but those aren´t dominant elements, and the music here is predominantly early 70s influenced symphonic progressive rock.
One of the great assets of "Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark" is the warm, organic, and detailed sound production, which does exactly what the best sound productions are supposed to do. Present the material in the best possible way for the listener to enjoy. So upon conclusion "Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark" is a high quality release by Goblin and one of the few musical adventures they took outside making music specifically for movies ("Roller (1976)" is the other example and of course also the 1975 album they released under the Cherry Five monicker before changing their name to Goblin). It´s a bit of a shame they didn´t expore this sound a bit more, but the fact that the album was mared by poor album sales probably didn´t give them much motivation to continue down this road, when they could make money making soundtrack music. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

loosechanj says:
But then that's the kind of crap I grew up on. IMO, it's more a function of interest in whatever genre is under discussion. If you don't like classical, for instance, it's more likely you won't be able to tell the difference between two composers. But if you just can't live without polka, you can pick out individuals pretty easy. You listen harder and deeper to stuff you like.
yksi says:
I like the way you put that. I can't tell most country artists apart 'cause I just don't listen much to it. I can definately hear a difference between Soundgarden & Dio. I don't like Dio, but Soundgarden rawwwks!

Connoisseurship makes anything interesting.
substitute says:
Is that Dio has super cool SATANIC LYRICS and Soundgarden is just mopey. I'll take "Holy Diver" over "Black Hole Sun" any day.
confuseme says:
What I can't get over is this "new" band Audioslave. It's the guys from Rage Against the Machine with the singer from Soundgarden, but they sound exactly like Stone Temple Pilots! Apparently that was the difference between Soundgarden and STP -- a little bit of RAtM. Who knew? I've heard no fewer than three DJs play "Interstate Love Song" right after the new Audioslave single. If you told me those were consecutive tracks on an album from 1993, I would not doubt it.

Recruitment and retention remain a challenge in the construction sector
Research from reward management consultancy Paydata shows that retaining and recruiting staff in the building and construction sectors remains a challenge, especially in middle management.
Tim Kellett from Paydata said: "There are few signs of optimism over the coming 12 months as construction firms continue to face recruitment challenges.
"PayData's Employee Engagement report shows that the difficulties retaining staff and further compounded by the conflicting salaries needed to replace those who leave, placing a greater level of strain on both company payrolls and internal cultures."
This year 61% of respondents have had difficulty retaining staff and 57% expect this to continue over the coming 12 months. When these roles need to be filled, the same percentage of respondents (57%) said that they had difficulty recruiting people.
The challenges associated with recruiting the right calibre of staff have impacted the reward packages offered to new staff members. 65% of respondents said that they offered recruits' salaries that conflict with those paid to current employees. The salary differences vary, but in the construction sector, 47% offered up to 20% more than existing staff, with some paying over 50% more to recruit the talent they need.
Paydata is celebrating 20 years supporting HR Reward teams to implement positive changes for staff to improve work lives. Further statistics and insight can be found in the latest Employee Engagement report, which can be accessed here: https://www.paydata.co.uk/hr-hub/reports/employee-engagement-report/the-employee-engagement-challenge-2018/

Sonic Discussion
The 1992-1995 Sega Roadshows
By Badnik Mechanic, April 25, 2019 in Green Grove Zone
Badnik Mechanic 33,904
Have I Got Views For You!
I recently did a lot of research and investigations into an old event that Sega used to hold between the years of 1992 and 1995.
They were basically Sega Roadshows, the first was called "Sega on the Road" and the last one was called "In 2 Action." Each bus would tour major cities and large events in the UK allowing people the opportunity to play the latest Sega games and hardware.
You've probably seen a few pictures of these in videogame magazines and issues of Sonic the Comic. Well... I was able to find some video and accounts of the events so I decided to try and gather together the best and most common accounts of the events into one video which covered the roadshows in order to catalogue and inform.
You can watch that here.
Anyway... I wanted to ask about this here due to a really interesting comment I got on this one and something that was bugging me even when I was making the video.
So the first roadshow was in 1992, the bulk of the events happened during the Summer of that year in the UK. The bus was decorated as you see in the thumbnail, with Sonic 2 imagery all over it.
And part of the attraction was the chance to play Sonic 2 in a competition style "How far can you get in 5 min" or "Can you beat the Sega high score?" And from what someone has told me, when they went onto it, someone was able to get all the way to Aquatic Ruin Zone during their run.
Others have said that when they tried the game some people didn't make it out of the Emerald Hill Zone since the game wasn't released.
So.... Does that mean that these events had Sonic 2 available to play in a near full condition... BEFORE it was officially released? Just that it seems the upper floor of these busses always had a Sonic competition, yet in some of the footage I found they're clearly playing Sonic 1, soooo...
Anyone go on these in 1992 and remember an early Sonic 2?
Anyway, the 1995 event seems to be the last one and they had a Sonic, Tails and Knuckles mascot attend a few of them, sadly there's a distinct lack of media for these. Did anyone attend these and does anyone have any additional photos or dare I say video?

Fantastic video! Really well done , nice to see something Sonic related that's near and dear to the UK.
I was prime age for all that back then and I do remember seeing it mentioned in old gaming magazines. Though it never came around anywhere near my neck of the woods as far as I'm aware. I remember Sonic being plastered all over the Williams F1 team racing cars too as Damon Hill was an household name at the time and I watched that a fair bit in the early-mid 90's.
As for the games being played and especially Sonic 2 , I'm guessing it was probably an early build and possibly had only a few levels on it. Or it could have been the final build if the footage was close to release day.
Anyway again, great video. Would love to see more of this sort of thing.

There's plenty more on my channel lol.
As for the 'it never came near my town'.
I thought the same for mine... Then I discovered it actually did, it came within 45 min of my town. But Sega never published a full list of the bus stops, so you had to ring them up and ask where it was stopping... which... is really annoying.
On 4/26/2019 at 2:31 PM, Mayor D said:
I'll be checking your channel out then lol
45 mins? Thats gutting. You had to ring them? Thats a very inconvenient way of finding out , what would have been wrong with putting a list of places in one of the many Sega magazines that were out at the time? Mean Machines , Sega Power , MegaTech.......etc surly that would've resulted in a major turn out.
So urm...
It looks like there might have been another roadshow.
Does... anyone know anything about this one?

I remember one of these turning up at the Bristol Balloon Festival as late as summer 1996. I remember seeing a CG vid of Virtua Fighter 3 where Jacky finally broke Sarah out of her brainwashing.


Did the holidays leave you with toy overload and a playroom that looks like something out of a natural disaster movie? Get the most use out of your child's toys and space with these simple and kid-friendly ways to organize your child's playroom.
Broken toys, puzzles with missing pieces, basically anything that came in a birthday party goodie bag...let's face it — it's junk and belongs in the bin on trash day. You can get rid of this stuff and your kid will NEVER MISS IT. Here's the key: Throw it away without him around. If he sees it headed for the trash, you know he'll think that miniature plastic bottle of bubbles is nothing short of pure gold.
Once you've separated trash from true treasure, involve your child in categorizing and organizing toys, so he knows where everything goes and can help put things away at the end of the day. It's an excellent exercise in sorting, and if you have more toys than space, it can also be a lesson in charity. Open up a worthwhile discussion about donating some of his less favorite items that he simply doesn't have room for. After all, fewer toys means easier clean up!
Does your child play with only a small number of toys, most of the time? Create rotation bins to get the most use out of all of your child's toys. Have your child divide his toys into several different storage bins, and keep only one bin out at a time. When he starts to get bored with the toys he is playing with, put them away and bring out another bin. Your child will end up playing with all of his toys, and having only one bin out at a time will keep toy messes to a minimum.
Ditch the toy box and invest in several see-through bins for storage. Being able to see what is in each box translates to fewer toys thrown about as your child tries to find what she is looking for.
Storage space can go up, too! Consider hanging a net as a catch-all for stuffed animals. Also, over-the-door hanging storage is a great solution for clearing clutter off your floors. Decorative hooks can also be an adorable way to store dress-up clothes, hats and bags.
Every playroom needs a dedicated place for your child to get creative! A small table with chairs is is the perfect space to color, paint, draw, and use her imagination. Keep her arts and crafts supplies in clearly labeled, easy-to-reach bins for easy access, and think outside the box for storage for smaller supplies like crayons, paint brushes, and writing utensils. For example, an old toolbox painted a fun color and decorated with stickers would look cute on your table, and is perfect for keeping everything organized.
If you have more than one child, consider color-coding your storage bins. Each child can have his own color, plus a separate designated color for shared toys. This works especially well if your children are a few years apart in age and play with toys that aren't age-appropriate for each other.
Finally, remember to purge! Set a time frame (monthly, seasonally, etc.) and sort your child's toys into three piles — keep, toss, and donate. Throw away any broken or worn out toys, donate the toys that your child has outgrown or never plays with, and keep the rest. Make purging a part of your regular routine to keep your child's toy collection to a manageable size.

Inverasdale Primary School
Much of our time and energies during the later part of 1997 and early 1998 were devoted to the campaign to save Inverasdale Primary School, which the Highland Council had been threatening to close. At the time, the village school was the only communal facility at Inverasdale and it was felt that it played an essential part in keeping the community alive. It is difficult to attract young, economically active families, who are essential for the areas regeneration, to a village where there is no school.
In addition to providing children with an education, the school is a vital part of the social fabric of our community and is used for a wide range of purposes by numerous local organisations.
The closure of our primary school would turn the area into a place where the retired outnumber the families, where holiday homes outnumber permanent dwellings and where children are a rarity.
The support of our campaign, locally, nationally and internationally, was overwhelming and we continue to hear from other villages in similar situations. Inverasdale is just one of many rural primary schools that have been targeted throughout Scotland, and the outcry has been so loud, long and sustained that the Scottish Executive has now sent strong messages to local authorities to look at educational and social reasons for keeping small schools open, rather than closing them for short-lived, and often illusory savings.
As a result, we noticed a change in the tone of many Highland Councillors who were unhappy about the proposals. The first test of how strongly their feelings were came on 23 April 1998 when the Education Committee met to vote on which schools should close and which should remain open.The good news for us was that they voted to keep Inverasdale School open.
The school roll continues to fluctuate as new families move into the area and older children move on to secondary school in Gairloch. Although the school has been saved from closure once there is always a feeling locally that it may well be threatened again if the roll falls. We are all still very keen to see new families move into the area and help support our school.

A head-on collision on the interstate through New Kent County, Virginia (VA), on May 9, 2017, led to the death of an innocent driver four days later. The two-vehicle crash happened near Mile Marker 204 just west of the New Kent Highway exit from I-64.
A little before 1 pm on the day of the wreck, a Jeep crossed the interstate median and slammed into a Toyota. Both drivers were taken to hospitals, but the man behind the wheel of the Jeep was treated and released. The woman in the Toyota was admitted in critical condition and succumbed to her injuries on May 13.
State Police issued preliminary charges for reckless driving and operating without a license against the man in the Jeep. Additional charges may follow.
Slows reaction time if [drivers] have to brake or steer suddenly.
Affects a driver's ability to make good decisions.
The reckless driving charge stemming from the fatal crash in New Kent County reflects these dangers. Section 46.2-852 of the Virginia Code of Laws states, "Irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving." Not paying attention, reacting slowly and inappropriately, and making poor decisions because you are not fully awake meet the statutory definition of reckless driving.
The family of the woman who died after this I-64 head-on collision should have strong grounds for filing wrongful death claims. Receiving compensation and damages from the at-fault driver may prove difficult, however, since he was operating without a license. If he also does not carry car insurance, the family may be able to access coverage under uninsured motorist provisions of their loved one's policy. Working with an experienced and caring Virginia wrongful death attorney will help them understand how to exercise that option.
