The 2014 Canoe Slalom World Cup was a series of five races in 5 canoeing and kayaking categories organized by the International Canoe Federation (ICF). It was the 27th edition.

Calendar

The series opened with World Cup Race 1 in Lee Valley, England (June 6–8) and ended with the World Cup Final in Augsburg, Germany (August 15–17).

Final standings

The winner of each race was awarded 60 points (double points were awarded for the World Cup Final). Points for lower places differed from one category to another. Every participant was guaranteed at least 2 points for participation and 5 points for qualifying for the semifinal run (4 and 10 points in the World Cup Final respectively). If two or more athletes or boats were equal on points, the ranking was determined by their positions in the World Cup Final.

[Perry's] awesome AcceLED Pong project gives new life to a classic game by adding acceleration-based control. The pong paddles are moved by tilting the circuit left or right. Motion is measured by an ADXL203 dual axis accelerometer, and an ATMEGA32 microcontroller converts acceleration into ball and paddle movement. The game display is a three-color SparkFun 8×8 LED matrix with serial interface.
[Perry] also used a similar setup to make a USB LED spectrum analyzer fed by the Linux XMMS media player.

Pine is most associated with this time of year, if you celebrate Christmas. There are many types of Pine but the one most used for the essential oil is Pinus sylvestrus – often referred to as Scots Pine. From what I can gather, yes it is actually found in Scotland and is native to parts of Europe and Asia.
I do love this oil but rarely use it in a body oil blend for a treatment. It can be a bit harsh to use all over the body and is more effective used an inhalation to help with breathing and upper respiratory tract infections. The scent is bushy and fresh and is fantastic used for scenting a space and doing an energetic cleanse. You can have an aromatherapy treatment, clean and disinfect your house, and create a clean slate for new beginnings, all with a few drops of pine oil.
"I love living in my beautiful, happy and creative space".
I've got a beautiful Siberian Fir essential oil – Abies sibirica. It is a part of the Pinacae family, but firs differ to pines in that their leaves are flat. "Flat, friendly fir" I remember a Park Ranger telling me in Arizona somewhere. Pine needles are cylindrical.
Anyway, the scent of the fir essential oil is much softer than that of pine but I really don't use this essential oil all over the body either. This family of trees can be slightly sensitising to skin and tends to be more powerful used as a tonic for the emotions and energy. It's main constituents on a typical breakdown are bornyl acetate, alpha and beta pinene and camphene and the oil can be seen as warming as is often claimed to be a great analgesic to rheumatism.
I would choose fir over pine for the scent. With pine, it can tend to be a bit more medicinal smelling. Fir is warmer and softer and a little bit more special and lovely to use in a perfume. Fir can be used in the same way as pine for cleaning and cleansing so why not give it a go?
Remember to use your intention when employing essential oils for health and well being and treat yourself first, so everyone can benefit.

(As seen on MetalMusicArchives) 4.5 out of 5.
Black metal often causes listeners to feel as if they are being intruded upon, as if they were being constantly punched in the gut from an uncomfortably close range. Some listeners find thrill in this, while others are deterred. In contrast, what can be called metal in Alcest's catalogue can be said to have a certain distance to it. This album isn't there to brutally force your submission, however thrilling that may be. From dreamy, moonlit guitars and sirenian crooning to hazy distorted guitars and reverb-soaked screams, Ecailles De Lune calls you from far away, like another world.
And a far off realm is exactly what the band aims to communicate. Alcest was inspired by experiences had by frontman/guitarist Stephane "Neige" Paut of what he referred to as "Fairy Land." "I think reality is always subjective," Neige explained in an interview with Metalblast. "We don't know what's real apart from the fact that we see it with our eyes, we smell it, we touch it, but we don't know more." This hazy, impressionistic take on reality was likely inherited from the shoegaze scene. In fact, although Ecailles De Lune is labelled a black metal record, it listens like a shoegaze record and it acheives nothing short of that shoegaze-y bliss that celebrates itself. Of course, this record takes a more fantastical approach to reality than even most shoegaze and some listeners may understandably find it less believable, but those who beckon to the call of that far off world will find themselves more and more in love with it.
The two part title track is the centerpiece of Ecailles. After an intro with cold, shimmering guitars, Part I kicks in with a longing riff that dangles over a mid-tempo drum beat as soft, honest vocals intermingle with the guitars. The song continues to cycle through a series of riffs, each a treat to experience, before reverting to its dreamier state and abruptly returning with the first hint of metal on the album, a lunar riff that is stranglely the brightest moment in the song.
Part II starts in a similar fashion to Part I; however, this time, the band enters with shreiks that are almost overwhelmed in space, as if they were recorded a valley when no one was around. Acoustic guitars enter as the screams subside, and the song continues in the silvery fashion that one grew to love in Part I.
While human longing, compassion, and ecstasy are certainly present on the album, Ecailles is more of an ethereal experience than an emotional one, utilising both the sanguine and the phlegmatic sides of dream pop and shoegaze to communicate Neige's feeling response to a distant place. But however far away that world is, it seems to live and to breathe, and with the feeling that Neige conveys this place, one starts to wonder if his experiences with "Fairy Land" might not have been so far-fetched after all.

Find out more about Nate Montana net worth here.
He was a reserve quarterback at De La Salle High School in Concord, Connecticut.
After graduating from high school in 2008, he enrolled at Notre Dame and joined the Fighting Irish football team's coach Charlie Weis as a walk-on, with the hope of landing a scholarship as a sophomore. Following Montana's freshman year at Notre Dame, he found himself well down the depth chart at quarterback. In order to increase his playing time, he withdrew from Notre Dame in 2009 and tried out for Mt. SAC's football program but would not be the starting quarterback and later enrolled at Pasadena City College in southern California as a redshirt freshman. Montana re-enrolled at Notre Dame in January 2010. He was the quarterback behind Tommy Rees and Dayne Crist. He played in three games for the Fighting Irish as a junior in 2010, and was 9 for 18 for 116 yards with an interception. On February 14, 2011, Montana confirmed he was transferring to the University of Montana, a top FCS program in the Big Sky Conference. As the transfer was from FBS to FCS, he was eligible to play immediately. At Montana, Nate became the only player on the roster with his name on the front and back of his jersey. He transferred to West Virginia Wesleyan, an NCAA Division II program, in May 2012.
Nate is the third child and older son of legendary NFL quarterback Joe Montana and Jennifer Wallace, a model/actress. His two older sisters Alexandra (b. 1985) and Elizabeth (b. 1986) also attended the University of Notre Dame. His brother Nick was the starting quarterback at nationally ranked Oaks Christian in Westlake Village and was thought to be one of the top prospects in the nation in 2010.
Montana was one of eight Notre Dame football players (and 11 total athletes) arrested for alleged underage drinking on July 16, 2010. While living in the state of Montana in 2011, Nate was arrested in Missoula on June 3 on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, a charge that was later dropped. However, he was sentenced to 90 days in the Missoula County Jail, all suspended, and ordered to complete a chemical dependency evaluation.
Currently, Nate Montana is 33 years, 3 months and 30 days old. Nate Montana will celebrate 34th birthday on a Tuesday 3rd of October 2023.

Building Less Expensive Rocket Launchers
The title of the April 15th, 2011 Aviation Week article "China Great Wall Confounded By SpaceX Prices" seems self explanatory but the article makes the point explicit by stating that "executives at China Great Wall Industry Corp. are finding it hard to believe that California-based Space Exploration Technologies Inc. (SpaceX) is offering lower launch prices than they can."
Space-X Falcon 9.
The article then goes on to state that "Chinese officials say they find the published prices on the SpaceX website very low for the services offered, and concede they could not match them with the Long March series of launch vehicles even if it were possible for them to launch satellites with U.S. components in them."
According to the SpaceX website, a Falcon 9 rocket launch, with an advertised lift capacity of 10,450 kg. (23,000 lb.) from Cape Canaveral, costs between $54 million - $59.5 million dollars.
What is the secret of Space-X?
According to the June 18th, 2010 article "Elon Musk on Why His Rockets Are Faster, Cheaper and Lighter Than What You've Seen Before" from the Private Equity website (peHUB), there are a number of good reasons for the Space-X success including vertical integration, less outsourcing and some good old fashioned and very basic common sense.
The article quotes Space-X CEO Elon Musk as stating:
Some of what we've done is really just common sense — for example, using the same propellant in the upper and lower stages means that operationally, you only need to have one set of fuel tanks. If you can imagine a situation where you have a kerosene first stage, hydrogen upper stage, and solid rocket side boosters, you've just tripled your cost right there.
Space-X CEO Elon Musk.
Also, the upper stage of Falcon 9 is simply a short version of the first stage. That may seem pretty obvious, but nobody else does that. They tend to create upper stage in a totally different way than they create the first stage.
The Merlin engine — we used it on the upper stage of Falcon 9, on the main stage of Falcon 9 and on the first stage of Falcon 1. So we get economies of scale in use of the Merlin engine.
Our tanks are friction steel welded, [aluminum] skin and stringer designed as opposed to machined aluminum, [giving us] a 20 fold advantage in the cost of materials, and our stage ends up being lighter …because geometrically, we can have deeper stringers.
Others are slowly beginning to put together more detailed assessments of the secrets behind the Space-X pricing. For example, the April 10th, 2011 post titled "Musk-Rocket Ramble" on the Ric's Rulez blog credits several specific choices with keeping costs down including:
The decision to burn kerosene (RP-1) and liquid oxygen (LOX) for fuel instead of liquid hydrogen and LOX. Hydrogen, the lightest element, is difficult to cool and store as a liquid and not terribly dense even then so the fuel tank has to be quite large and complex. Kerosene is denser and much easier to store since it can be stored at room temperature. While NASA generally prefers hydrogen for it's greater specific impulse, most of the storage and cooling problems go away with kerosene, which provides substantial cost savings. LOX and kerosene are used in the lower stages of most Russian and Chinese boosters plus the first stages of the Saturn V and the Atlas V. LOX and liquid hydrogen are used in the upper stages of the Atlas V and Saturn V, the newer Delta IV rocket, the H-IIA rocket, and most stages of the European Ariane rockets.
Shuttle with side mounted solid rockets.
The decision not to use solid fuel rockets strapped to the side of the liquid fuel launchers, as is the case with the space shuttle is the second key to lowering costs. Solid rockets are useful when there is a need for long-term storage (and solid fuel rockets make great intercontinental ballistic missiles) but are less useful when you simply need something light and powerful, which is the prime criteria for satellite launchers. A second, solid fueled system added to an existing liquid fueled system also adds an additional level of complexity, which also adds to costs.
Space-X Manager of Business Development Josh Brost went into a little more detail on his firms methodologies during the presentation "Space-X: Revolutionizing Access to Space" at the Canadian Space Commerce Association (CSCA) conference and annual general meeting, held on March 18th at the MaRS Discovery District. Brost credits Space-X's success in keeping costs down with the following:
Space-X Merlin engines.
•Rockets assembled and integrated horizontally, not vertically, which Space-X considers less expensive and less hazardous.
Cross-training of technicians in multiple areas to insure that there are no narrow skilled specialists waiting around for specific work.
An intentional decision to build more than 70% of vehicle components in-house at one location, which assists with the development of a direct feedback loop between on-site engineers and technicians as they work together on projects.
Strong in-house and on-site capabilities in multiple areas including precision machining & inspection, tank fabrication, variable polarity plasma arc and friction stir welding, composites, precision assembly, tooling design/ fabrication, avionics laboratory & environmental testing, propulsion assembly and numerical control tube bending.
According to Arny Sokoloff, CEO of Continuum Aerospace and President of the Canadian Space Commerce Association, there are a lot of local political concessions built into most rocket programs and the real key to cost control is minimizing the various locations where the work is being done by doing as much as possible in-house and at one location.
"This is the real secret of how they avoid the massive duplication of roles and the consequent cost overruns typical in aerospace development" states Sokoloff.

← How to bury your reputation as a dev, for just $5!
I've had a few requests to talk about the expansion to Battle Brothers, so while I haven't seen all of the new content, here goes. In short, if you liked BB before, I can't imagine you won't love the expansion. If you tried and didn't like BB, this expansion likely doesn't 'fix' what you disliked.
The new enemies really mix things up, and push you to alter how you develop your brothers. Prior to the expansion stats like HP and Resolve weren't optimal, but now become situationally important. For example, Alps put your brothers to sleep, and then cast nightmares on said sleeping brother to kill them. One counter to the sleep spell is high resolve, as it means you resist the sleep more. Now this doesn't mean you need high resolve on everyone, because the alps prefer to sleep everyone before casting nightmare, so even if just a few brothers resist, they can in turn wake others up, and negate the Alps enough to kill them. If everyone goes to sleep, its likely game over.
Another example of new enemies changing up the meta are Schrats, basically treemen that regrow their shields. In the base game weapons that better destroy a shield, like axes, weren't as important for that ability. Now? They are very important vs the Schrats, so if you completely ignore them, you'll have a much harder time vs that particular enemy.
With the new enemies also come new weapons and armor, mostly filling some gaps in progression. Now all weapon styles have the same tiered progression upgrades, and there are significantly more viable options for nimble (low weight) builds at end-game. Before nimble was only ideal late-game if you got lucky enough to find the right legendary weapon/armor. That's no longer the case, though it still helps!
Right now my favorite part of the expansion is the addition of crafting. Many enemies, old and new, now have a chance to drop crafting components, and these in turn can be taken to a taxidermist (new building in certain settlements) to craft into useful consumables, items, or armor attachments. One fun example; in the base game dire wolves dropped pelts, and if you had a tailor, you could trigger an event to get a special armor made. Now, those wolf pelts can be turned into an armor attachment that has the same bonus effect (negative moral to enemies) as the event armor, and can be added to any piece of armor. It makes fighting such enemies extra worthwhile, and is a new and interesting upgrade path that adds considerable customization.
Finally, the overall flow of the game has been smoothed out, with the early days now feeling less punishingly random (early contracts are more available, wage costs are slightly lower, contracts have been tweaked a bit), the midgame almost overflowing with options, and late game (from what I've experienced) having a larger variety of stiff challenges.
This is the perfect kind of expansion IMO, one that adds more 'stuff' to a game you already enjoy. It doesn't drastically change the game mechanics, or twist the setting (low fantasy to suddenly space goats), or anything else that might turn off existing fans. Instead it fills in gaps that might have existed, pushes systems further in meaningful ways, and lets you enjoy another trip through a fun game that feels surprisingly fresh and new.

My issue with BB and Xcom I finally realized (after a few hrs with Mutant Year Zero) is the inability to strategically attack an enemy. In both these games you are totally at the mercy of rng every time you enter combat thus nullifying whatever spec you chose most of the time. MYZ actually allows you to surprise an enemy after an encounter has begun so you can position your characters to best take advantage of their strengths. With BB and Xcom it is enter combat and cross your fingers the enemy enters visual range in some way that terrain might best be used to your advantage – but its always a complete coin toss. This is what those games were missing – you should check it out.

As of 26 Feb 2015 the old browser version of TestFlight (the one with the 6 propeller icon) will no longer be a valid method of app distribution. The only way to install pre-approved apps will be via the TestFlight interface within iTunes Connect or by sideloading the ad hoc .IPA file to iTunes and then syncing your apps to device.
The best thing about the new iTC TestFlight distribution is that it does not require you to have your device UDID's registered in the ad hoc provisioning profile (although this is still required if you are sideloading the ad hoc build via iTunes method). What it does is share the binary that you uploaded using Application Loader with you.
then this means that you have an old App Store provisioning profile uploaded. Regenerating this profile, uploading to the "Credentials" section in Oomph Publish and re-building the app will solve this problem (there is no need to re-generate and upload the Ad Hoc Provisioning profile).
Add testers in iTC. In the top level "Users and Roles" section of iTC and in the "TestFlight Beta Testers" tab select the Oomph account (usually "appleappsupport+[XYZ]@mogeneration.com") and save.
Build and upload your app using Application Loader just as if you were submitting an app update.
Navigate to the "Internal Testers" tab and ensure your account and any others that you want to share the app with are checked and then save. At this stage you can also invite "external" testers. External testers are basically anyone that you want to give access to that does not have an iTC login under this account.
The internal and external email addresses will then be sent an email inviting you to test. This email needs to be opened and actioned via the device.
NOTE: You will need the TestFlight app installed (available on the App Store). This will not work if you are using the old TestFlight browser app. The New one has an icon with 3 propellers as opposed to 6.
7. The TestFlight app will allow you to install the test app. If you have multiple devices you need to make sure that all devices are logged into the TestFlight app with the same Apple ID in order for the app to show in each device's TestFlight app.
NOTE: If everything is setup correctly but the correct version of the app fails to show in TestFlight sometimes it can be helpful to go to the "Builds" screen in iTC, turn off "TestFlight Beta Testing" and then enable it again. This should trigger the email invite again and also refresh the app version being shared with testers.


In the 2017 issue of the Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists, I have an article that ended up being a sort trip down the rabbit hole. The title gives you an idea of the curious combination of topics: "The Crocodile Pit of Maabdeh, Florence Nightingale, and the British Museum's Acquisition of the Harris Homers." This all started because I wanted to cite a particular papyrus, the so-called Harris Homer.
The first thing to note is that there are actually two different manuscripts that are sometimes called "the Harris Homer." Both were part of the collection of Anthony Charles Harris (1790-1869), a British merchant and collector of antiquities who lived in Alexandria in Egypt. One of the manuscripts was the remains of a papyrus roll containing book 18 of Homer's Iliad. The other, the one that first interested me, was a rather strange papyrus codex. In its present form, it consists of 9 sheets of papyrus folded in half to make a single-quire codex of 36 pages. What is peculiar about it is that only the right-hand (recto) pages were inscribed with text of parts of books 2-4 of the Iliad. The left-hand (verso) pages were left blank. At a later point, someone turned the codex upside down and copied the Technē grammatikē of Tryphon the grammarian on some of the blank pages. This book was also bound with a curious method (stabbed through the inner margin rather than sewn through the central fold), which is what drew my attention to the book in the first place).
Bifolium from the Harris Homer Codex; source: F. Schironi, To mega biblion (Durham: American Society of Papyrologists, 2010), 169.
But back to the story: I was curious about where both these books had come from. They now reside at the British Library, the roll inventoried as Pap. 107, and the codex as Pap. 126. All the standard reference works say that they originally came from "the Crocodile Pit at Maabdeh" (variously spelled Al Maabdah, El-Maabde, Ma'abda, Amabdi, Mahabdie, etc.). I confess to having no idea what this place was. A little bit of digging revealed that the site was a well-known tourist attraction in Egypt in the 19th century. The town of Maabdeh sits on the east bank of the Nile opposite the larger town of Manfalut on the west bank.
Source: T. Zimmer, Les Grottes des crocodiles de Maabdah (San Antonio: Van Siclen, 1987), 10.
In the cliffs to the east of Maabdeh, there was said to be a cave about 30 km due north of Asyut (ancient Lykopolis) that contained thousands of crocodile mummies as well as human mummies. The travel literature of that era gives us a number of stories of visits to this cavern. Some of these tales are quite dramatic—stories of encounters with the corpses of previous explorers, attacks by bats, and so forth.
A few of the accounts were illustrated, but the images often seem derivative, and it's not clear if they have any connection to reality.

I have had the great good fortune to find a portion of the missing part of this papyrus, consisting of 171 lines:—leaving 139 lines in verses to be sought for, and which I have a faint hope of recovering. I have obtained also another Papyrus in a book of primitive form which, if it were complete (and I regret it is not so), would, by the indication on it, contain other four books of the 'Iliad' (α, β, γ, δ), together with the grammar of Tryphon of Alexandria. …I believe that these documents have been taken from the body of Tryphon; and an arm which I preserve in my study as a relic, I consider to be the arm of the grammarian torn from the mummy in order to release the papyrus roll, and delivered to me with the fragment first purchased.
There are a couple interesting points here (aside from Harris's belief that the mummified hand he kept in his study was that of Tryphon). First, he already had the codex in 1850 (recall that the British Museum records said he acquired it in 1854). Second, nothing here indicates that he himself found the codex in the pit, and other letters suggest either that his servant found the codex in the pit or even that the codex was purchased from a dealer. All of this means the connection to the pit is likely coming either from dealers or from Harris's own imagination.
The story continues after the death of Anthony Charles Harris in 1869. He left his collection to his daughter, Selima Harris (ca. 1827-1899), who attempted to sell it to the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and the British Museum in 1871.
Anthony Charles Harris and Selima Harris; source: Morris Bierbrier, "The Doomed Prince and the Harris Collection," British Museum Magazine 24 (1996), 13.
Assisting her in this endeavor was none other than Florence Nightingale, whom she had met on a trip to Egypt in 1849-1850. Nightingale mentions her efforts to mediate the sale of the collection in two letters (published in full in my article). Nightingale also attributes the discovery of the Harris Homer codex to Selima Harris herself, who is said to have spent a week in the "tomb" before finding the book. With the help of Nightingale and her connections, Selima Harris sold part of the collection to the British Museum in 1872. Some pieces, however, like the Harris Homer codex, were not acquired by the Museum until 1888. Where the codex was between 1872 and 1888, I have not been able to determine. According to one report, the codex was in the possession of the collector Frederick George Hilton Price (1842-1909) before its eventual arrival at the British Museum.
"The caverns were thoroughly explored in 1885 by Dr. E. Lansing, and found to contain nothing but the charred remains of the crocodile mummies. Some years ago the mummies were accidentally set on fire by a party of tourists who never emerged again from the caves" (710-711).
The best source for the Crocodile Pit is a study by Thierry Zimmer, Les Grottes des crocodiles de Maabdah (Samoun): Un cas extrême d'analyse archéologique (San Antonio: Van Siclen, 1987).

Liverpool in touch with long-term target's agent, €80m asking price, player met Klopp in 2017
Kai Havertz was promoted to Bayer Leverkusen's first team in October 2016 and a year later, he emerged as a target for Liverpool.
The Reds were keen on adding the 19-year-old to their squad earlier in January after Football Whispers' November 2017 report claimed the attacking midfielder made a trip to Melwood, where he was greeted by Jurgen Klopp, Steven Gerrard and Philippe Coutinho.
Fast forward to December 2018 and Sport Bild now claims the Reds are still chasing him and their scouts have watched him in action for the Bundesliga club for several months.
In addition to this, the Merseyside club are also in contact with the player's agent.
When the teenager signed a new five-year deal last summer, Havertz made it clear that he would leave the German club if they fail to qualify for the continental competition and the report mentions Leverkusen are demanding €80m to sanction the sale of the young star.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has helped his current side sign Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan and Naby Keita from Bundesliga clubs in the past.
Havertz has showcased his abilities after scoring seven goals and registering six assists in all competitions this season.
It should be seen whether Klopp's German connections coupled with Liverpool's long-term interest can help them beat the competition from other clubs to sign the starlet.

Pakistan ex-PM Sharif arrested as he arrives home ahead of polls
Former Pakistan premier Nawaz Sharif was arrested after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for corruption
Former Pakistan premier Nawaz Sharif was arrested on his return to the country Friday, where he faces 10 years in prison for corruption, ahead of already tense elections his party claims are being rigged.
Sharif and his daughter Maryam "have been arrested" by corruption authorities "with immediate effect and till further orders", according to a statement from the Islamabad city administration. They landed in Lahore and were then taken to the capital, the statement said.
An anti-corruption official confirmed the arrests to AFP on condition of anonymity.
Sharif, who claims he is being targeted by the country's powerful security establishment, is fighting for his political life as his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party limps into the final weeks of campaigning ahead of nationwide polls on July 25.
Some 15,000 singing and dancing supporters lined the Mall, Lahore's main thoroughfare, ahead of Sharif's return from London, an AFP reporter there said.
Lahore is the capital of Punjab province, Pakistan's most populous and a PML-N stronghold.
A smaller contingent of around two dozen supporters waited on the road to Adiala prison in Rawalpindi, the garrison city neighbouring Islamabad, where Sharif was expected to be taken before going to a guest house on the outskirts of the capital which authorities said had been declared a "sub-jail".
Nawaz Sharif was arrested after he landed in Lahore, where thousands had gathered in a show of support for the ex-premier
Roughly 100 police officers had blocked the road to the jail with freight containers, an AFP reporter said.
Analysts have said Sharif's return -- one week after he was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison by a corruption court over the purchase of high-end properties in London -- could help lift his party's fortunes ahead of the vote.
"I know that... I will be directly taken to jail," Sharif, who was ousted for corruption by the Supreme Court last year and later also banned from politics for life, said in a video released by his party earlier Friday.
He asked Pakistanis to "walk with me, join hands with me and change the destination of the country".
On Thursday, Sharif's brother Shahbaz, who is leading the PML-N's election campaign, said hundreds of the party's workers and supporters had been arrested in what he described as "naked" pre-poll rigging.
- Security fears -
As the political drama unfolded, fears of violence also surged ahead of the polls after a suicide bomber targeting a political rally in southwestern Balochistan province killed 128 people in one of the deadliest attacks in Pakistan's history.
Nawaz Sharif's party has accused Pakistan's caretaker government of arresting hundreds of its supporters
The blast -- claimed by the Islamic State group -- ripped through a crowd in the town of Mastung.
Earlier, four people were killed by a bomb targeting another politician's convoy in the country's northwest. There has been no claim of responsibility.
On Tuesday, a bomb attack claimed by the Pakistani Taliban targeted a political rally in the city of Peshawar, killing 22 people.
The string of attacks underscored the fragility of Pakistan's security, which has improved dramatically in recent years, though analysts warn that politicians and the security establishment have not yet tackled the root causes of extremism.
The military has already warned of security threats and said it will deploy more than 370,000 soldiers on polling day.
Pakistan's military remains its most powerful institution, and has faced blistering allegations that it is pressuring the media and politicians in a bid to manipulate the polls against the PML-N.
It denies the accusations.
Nawaz Sharif is the 15th prime minister in Pakistan's history to be removed before completing a full term
The election will pit the PML-N against its main rival, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, a party led by cricket star-turned-politician Imran Khan.
Since Sharif returned to London last month, where his wife is being treated for cancer, the PML-N has fallen into disarray and failed to mount an organised campaign to rally the base ahead of the polls.
Recent polling showed the PTI's popularity steadily rising and closing the gap with the PML-N.
Analyst Zahid Hussain said the ex-leader was "fighting back for his political life".
"Certainly it would have been worse for the party's prospects had he not come," Hussain added.
Sharif was the 15th prime minister in Pakistan's 70-year history -- roughly half of it under military rule -- to be removed before completing a full term.
The upcoming election in Pakistan will pit Sharif's PML-N against Imran Khan's PTI
He has faced -- and fought off -- similar challenges in the past.
In 1993, he was sacked from his first term as premier for corruption. His second term was ended by a coup in 1999, and he was imprisoned by the military regime while he faced trial for multiple charges, including corruption.
"In Pakistan, leaders have to go to jail, that's important for their profile," said Pakistani journalist Rahimullah Yusufzai.
Sharif was later allowed by the military regime to go into exile in Saudi Arabia, returning in 2007 before becoming prime minister for a third time in 2013.

Lee Burridge: "Music has always been a wonderful form of escapism" The All Day I Dream DJ and producer talks us through a playlist of essential records from the label
Posted by Mark Gwinnett | Jan 25, 2021 | DJ Playlists
IT'S been a decade since Lee Burridge held the first All Day I Dream party on a boiling Brooklyn rooftop.
Since then the parties and record label have become a sensation all over the world.
For two decades before All Day I Dream was founded in 2011, Lee Burridge had already played a pivotal role in the development of global electronic music, as a regular at fabric in London during the clubs formative years and as part of Tyrant alongside fabric resident Craig Richards and for a while, Sasha.
While the Covid crisis has silenced the All Day I Dream parties for now, the label continues to delight and inspire with impeccable releases from the likes of Lost Desert, Sébastien Léger, Tim Green among others. The ten year celebrations will happen as soon as it is safe to do so with parties already scheduled to take place this summer in Spain, Netherlands and Canada.
As we all dream of better days, music continues to be a positive force for many. Lee told us:
"Music has always been a wonderful form of escapism. In these stressful times allowing space in your day for a moment of bliss or a moment to rock out is more important than ever. Music is your mood or maybe the one you want to experience."
In celebration of ten years of All Day I Dream, we invited Lee to compile and talk us through a playlist featuring essential tunes from the label. Listen to the tracks and read what he had to say about each one below.
Double Touch featuring Reigan – Greatest Day (Lost Desert Remix)
"Because we all need a 'greatest day' now, don't we. Plus Reigan's vocals are just sublime. These kind of tracks come along now and again and reach out beyond the dance floors to people who didn't even know they'd like electronic music."
Sébastien Léger – Ashes In The Wind
"Music can have the ability to take you away. This one's a trip around the universe and back. Sebastien Leger put his heart into this track and created beauty with sounds that remind me of Super Mario. How is that even possible!"
Lee Burridge & Lost Desert featuring Junior – Lingala
"The universal languages of love and music meld together to tell an age old story of that very love between two people in a far away land. Junior Akwerty joins myself and Lost Desert and creates heartbreak house."
Roy Rosenfeld – Lift Of Love
"There's something beautiful about house music. Magical Blackpool ballroom vibes in outer space is the only way to describe this unique piece of house music."
Matthew Dekay & Lee Burridge – Für die Liebe
"One of the tracks that started the whole All Day I Dream musical movement. Classical meets electronic. Matthew Dekay is a master when it comes to production and Fur Die Liebe (for the love) says it all."
Double Touch – All I Want featuring Reigan
"It's not all made on a computer. Ambient, classical, beautiful. Double touch and Reigan in lock down delivered this somewhat beat-less cover version that get's me all misty."
Slow Hearts – Eyepads (Tim Green Remix)
"Turn it up and close your eyes. From Burning Man festival in the desert to parties on far away beaches this Tim Green remix takes the original to new levels of gorgeous. Oh, and if you happen to have some decent speakers the bass in bumping."
PreviousMarshall Jefferson: "This was the first acid house record, it started an entire movement"
NextMeduza: "It was the first time we heard a mix between pop and house"
Eli & Fur: "We wanted to show both sides of us" Eliza Noble and Jennifer Skillman pick out some favourites from their debut album Found In The Wild and also share some of their musical inspirations
Terry Francis: "The words on the EP are pretty much the thoughts and feelings Caroline and I think a lot of us are feeling at the moment" The fabric London resident and Caroline Geys open up about their new label Where Are You Records and Terry talks us through a playlist of music featuring the first EP
Bear Grillz: "His message in his music is one of the most powerful to me in my life" As we all dream about live music events again in the not too distant future, we caught up with Dim Mak artist Bear Grillz and asked him to talk us through a playlist of influential music that relates to his life and touring.
Anabel Englund: "A beautiful starting track, super vibey" The Hot Natured Queen talks us through music you can expect to hear in her DJ sets as she releases the Deluxe version of her album Messing With Magic

European Climate Law
SUMMARY OF:
Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 ('European Climate Law')
WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?
The regulation:
establishes a framework for achieving climate neutrality within the European Union (EU) by 2050 (that is, a balance of EU-wide greenhouse-gas* emissions and their removal regulated in EU law);
includes, in addition to the binding objective of climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, the aim of achieving negative emissions in the EU thereafter;
provides for a binding EU target of a net domestic reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 55% (compared to 1990 levels) by 2030, and to set a climate target for 2040 within six months of the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement;
introduces rules to ensure continuous progress towards the global adaptation goal in the Paris Agreement (see summary).
EU institutions and EU Member States must take all necessary measures to meet the regulation's aims, while taking fairness, solidarity and cost-effectiveness into account.
The regulation establishes an independent European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change. The Management Board of the European Environment Agency designates the 15 members of the Advisory Board for a term of 4 years following an open selection procedure. They are selected on the basis of their scientific excellence, broad expertise and professional experience in the field of climate and environment science. The 15 senior scientific experts are appointed in a personal capacity.
The board's tasks include:
considering the latest scientific findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and scientific climate data, in particular with regard to information relevant to the EU;
providing scientific advice and issuing reports on existing and proposed EU measures;
contributing to the exchange of independent scientific knowledge;
identifying action and opportunities to meet the EU's targets;
raising awareness on climate change and its impact.
Member States must also:
set up a climate advisory body to provide expert scientific advice to the relevant national authorities;
establish a multilevel climate and energy dialogue involving local authorities, the civil society, the business community, investors, other relevant stakeholders and the public;
submit their 30-year strategy to the European Commission by 1 January 2029, and every 10 years after that, updating this every 5 years if necessary.
The regulation defines the following intermediate EU measures, which aim to help the EU meet its 2050 climate-neutrality objective.
Reducing net EU greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 55% (compared to 1990 levels) by 2030; in July 2021, the Commission tabled a set of legislative proposals upgrading existing EU legislation and including new initiatives in the implementation of this new target. It will thereafter monitor the progress of the legislative proposals to determine whether the new target will be achieved.
Limiting the contribution of net removals to a maximum of 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent to ensure sufficient mitigation efforts are made leading up to 2030. With the aim of enhancing the EU's carbon sink* in line with the 2050 climate-neutrality objective, the regulation also provides for the EU to aim for a higher volume of its net carbon sink in 2030.
Allowing for the Commission to propose a climate target for 2040 within 6 months of the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement. The proposal is to be accompanied by a report containing the projected indicative EU greenhouse-gas budget for 2030-2050.
Requiring the Commission to report to the European Parliament and the Council, within 6 months of each global stocktake under the Paris Agreement, on the progress the EU and Member States are making towards meeting the objectives of the regulation.
Adaptation to climate change requires:
EU institutions and Member States to
enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change
ensure adaptation policies are coherent, mutually supportive, provide benefits for sectoral policies, help integrate these measures into all policy areas and focus especially on the most vulnerable people and sectors;
the Commission to adopt
an EU adaptation strategy
guidelines, by 30 July 2022, setting out common principles and practices to identify, classify and manage climate risk when planning, developing, executing and monitoring projects and programmes;
Member States to adopt and implement national adaptation strategies and plans, taking into account particularly vulnerable sectors such as agriculture, water and food systems and food security, along with the need to promote nature- and ecosystem-based solutions.
Assessment of EU and national progress requires the Commission to:
assess by 30 September 2023, and every 5 years thereafter, the progress that the EU and the Member States have made towards the 2050 and adaptation objectives, and whether the EU and national measures towards those objectives are consistent;
evaluate whether draft EU measures and legislation, including budgetary proposals, are consistent with the 2030 and 2040 targets and the 2050 climate-neutrality objectives;
regularly assess relevant national measures and issue recommendations to a Member State where it finds inconsistencies in ensuring the climate-neutrality objective or inadequate progress made towards enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change.
The Commission engages with all:
parts of society, including the public, social partners and stakeholders, to enable and empower them to contribute towards a just, socially fair, climate-neutral and resilient society;
sectors of the economy that prepare indicative voluntary roadmaps towards climate neutrality.
The regulation amends:
Regulation (EC) No 401/2009 on the European Environment Agency and European Environment Information and Observation Network (see summary) and Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on the governance of the Energy Union (see summary).
FROM WHEN DOES THE REGULATION APPLY?
It has applied since 29 July 2021.
In December 2019, the European Council endorsed the objective of a climate-neutral EU by 2050 in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
On 4 March 2020, the Commission adopted its proposal for a European Climate Law as an important element of the European Green Deal (see summary).
EU action to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in a cost-effective way is already strongly developed. Between 1990 and 2019, emissions fell by 24%, while the economy grew by 60%. A major cornerstone of the EU's climate policy is the emissions trading system set up by Directive 2003/87/EC (see summary).
European Climate Law (European Commission).
Greenhouse gases: any gas capable of absorbing infrared radiation from the earth's surface and reradiating it back to earth.
Sink: a reservoir that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

While I might occasionally get wistful for the slower and simpler (not necessarily easier) pace of life my Grandparents lived through, I am a girl that loves modern technology and 'progress'.
But some of the 'old ways' are infinitely better than the lifestyle we live now. I find the loss of community and the extended family particularly difficult to deal with.
When Mr Green left his last home – which he had lived in for five years – he didn't even know the name of his neighbours. They just each jumped into their separate cars and went off to work in the morning.
So when technology AND good values combine, well, that really captures my interest.
Some of the good and simple human gestures like sharing go a long way to making the world a better place.
Think about the last time you were stuck in a traffic jam. We found that taking a simple trip into our nearest town this week. A trip that used to take me 20 minutes when I was working in the city 20 years ago, now takes 45 minutes.
What's changed? There are now three lanes instead of two, so traffic flow should be better, right?
The only conclusion I can come to is that there are more cars on the road.
And what really struck me on that boring journey the other day was how many people were single occupants. The irony is; they were probably all driving to work within a couple of miles radius of each other!
I was excited to hear that Toyota – who want to create a new city transportation system for the next generation – have launched their Ha:mo project in Grenoble, France.
Their aim is to decrease traffic gridlock by mixing their ultra micro i-ROAD with public transportation. They say this should improve traffic flow and minimise emissions.The system comprises a combination of electric vehicle car sharing and traffic routing information –ensuring city dwellers use the most appropriate form of transportation.
The i-ROAD puts the fun back into driving. It's essentially an ultra compact, three wheel electric vehicle which carries two passengers – a cross between a smart car and motorbike if you like – that leans into the corners like a motorcycle; making it perfect for sharing with your neighbour. With a range of 50 kilometers and with the ability to be charged by solar, the i-Road is ideal for the daily commute. It's a bit like having a self-drive taxi.
Using a smartphone app, you can check the availability, find the location of and book one of these car sharing vehicles. Once you're in the driving seat you'll get live information on the most efficient route into work. You can pick a vehicle up in one location and drop it off at another; so you don't have to stress about getting the vehicle back to the original drop off point. And with restricted and limited parking in many city environments, the Ha'mo system would reduce the need for some city dwellers to own their own car altogether.
What do you think? Is this the future of urban driving?

Thomas, Davis Featured in Prairie Talks
Native American Development Center founder Lorraine Davis and Prairie Public Radio director Bill Thomas, Fargo, will discuss the life-shaping power of stories during a Prairie Talks presentation at 2 p.m., Sunday, June 14, at Prairie Village Museum in Rugby. The event is free.
The museum will open for touring at noon and Friends of the Museum will have hot dogs, burgers and beverages available for purchase from noon until gone. The Friends also will provide bars and coffee after the talk.
A Native American woman, professional, and mother of four, Davis has overcome alcoholism, poverty, homelessness, oppression, and violence. She is collecting stories of resilience from some 50 Native Americans in the Bismarck-Mandan area that Prairie Public Radio will begin airing later this summer. The series also will have a page on the Prairie Public website, where people can listen anytime or download the stories onto cell phones or tablets.
At Prairie Talks, Davis and Thomas will discuss the power of stories to shape the lives of individuals and communities, especially within Native American communities.
Davis founded the Native American Development Center in 2012 to provide a supportive and culturally relevant foundation for Native Americans seeking better lives. An enrolled member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota Oyate, Davis is a descendant of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation. She has served as part of the homeless and poverty coalition, a Mandan Public School board member, and advisor to the Mayor of Bismarck to recruit Native American career talent.
Thomas joined Prairie Public in 1999 as the first manager for a new public radio network formed with NDSU and UND. Today Prairie Public Radio reaches homes across North Dakota, northwestern Minnesota, and Canada. Prior to accepting the position in North Dakota, Thomas worked for Nebraska's Public Radio Network and held a variety of positions in Illinois, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis.
"When I moved here," Thomas said," I knew North Dakota was home to several Indian nations, so I was surprised at how little I heard about them. We have done some things at Prairie Public, but we've done a lot more on Germans from Russia and Scandinavians. This will be a chance for those who are not Native American to get a better, fuller sense of what that's like. And for our listeners who are Native American, a validation of their own struggles in the stories they hear."
Prairie Talks events are intended to engage, challenge, and inspire. This Prairie Talk is co-sponsored by Prairie Village Museum and is supported in part by the North Dakota Humanities Council. Donations are welcomed to help defray expenses.
Previous Prairie Talks events have featured author and former National Press Club president Alan Bjerga; author and human rights advocate Roxana Saberi; Seretary General of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee Bjrn Engesland; Prairie Silence author Melanie Hoffert; and documentary filmmaker Todd Melby and rancher Marty Young Bear. The series was started to connect people in North Central North Dakota with people from around the world. Kristi Rendahl, the founder of the series, was born and raised in Benson County and is a graduate of Rugby High School. Prairie Talks has an advisory council comprised of residents in the Rugby area.


The International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is an essential part of the International Law. It includes a set of rules aimed at protecting human dignity in times of armed conflicts, limiting the human suffering and protecting properties (health, cultural,religious..) from damage and destruction resulting from war.
This law identifies methods and means of warfare. It spells the rights and obligations of combatants during military acts and limits means of harm and the use of arms.
It is one of the most important bases of the Humanitarian Law. It aims at protecting persons hors de combat and those who do not take a direct part in hostilities.
Concerned with the amelioration of the condition of the wounded and sick in armed conflicts in the battllefield. It includes rules stressing the neutrality of health services, medical transport facilities and medical services facilities as well as the respect for civilian volunteers participating in rescue activities and offering medical help without discrimination.
Concerned with the amelioration of the condition of wounded, sick and shipwrecked members of armed forces at sea.
Concerned with the treatment of prisoners of war (POW). It stipulates that POW receive the services of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). It involves everything related to the life and protection of the prisoner of war.
Concerned with protecting civilians in time of war. It involves everything related to civilians by protecting their lives, dignity, beliefs and physical and moral integrity.
Protocol I: Concerned with international armed conflicts.
Protocol II: Concerned with non-international armed conflicts.
The two protocols are additional to Geneva Conventions since they include under protection all other individuals not mentioned in Geneva Conventions. Geneva Conventions and Hague Conventions have never been independant of one another; as a matter of fact they are interrelated and since the introduction of the two additional protocols in 1977, the distinction between the two Conventions carries only a historic and educational value.
IHL is based on a group of rules inspired by the humanitarian spirit in order to protect human dignity.
• Distinguish between civilians and combatants to spare civilians' lives and property and keep them safe from military attacks.
• Ban indiscriminate attacks against civilians.
To join in to Geneva Conventions and the Additional Protocols, the parties (states) involved must submit their signatures and ratification to the Swiss Government. Lebanon signed the Conventions on April 10, 1951 and the Additional Protocols on July 23,1997.
The Parties (states) contracted by signing the Geneva Conventions have vowed to disseminate the text of Geneva conventions and the Additional Protocols as widely as possible in their countries, in peacetime and in wartime, possibly include them in military and civil programs in pursuit of a wider spread. In accordance with the statute of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the dissemination of the International Humanitarian Law is one of its concerns in general. Each National Society spreads IHL in its country to contribute more in the dissemination of the spirit of peace, human rights respect, and fight against all forms of discrimination and distinction.
In Lebanon, the Lebanese Red Cross disseminates IHL, the Geneva Conventions and the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent among civilians, the armed forces and Society volunteers.
Guarding IHL: International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) makes sure the provisions of the Geneva Conventions and its Additional Protocols are applied and active in armed conflict situations.
The Geneva Conventions stipulated three emblems of protection and indication: The Red Cross, the Red Crescent and the Red Sun and Lion. In 1980, Iran adopted the Red Crescent as the emblem of protection and indication for its National Society, instead of the Red Sun and Lion and so the emblems in use became limited to Red Cross and Red Crescent. Every state party to Geneva Conventions has to choose only one of the two emblems to be used by its National Society and military medical services.
Founded in 1863, and headquartered in Geneva. It is an independent organization which works with total neutrality and impartiality in cases of hostilities and armed conflicts, according to Geneva Conventions and its Additional Protocols, and to its right to take initiative regarding the protection and assistance of the victims of international and non international conflicts, and internal troubles.
of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Founded in 1919, and headquartered in Geneva. It is composed of the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Its mission is to coordinate international aids during natural disasters, to support humanitarian programs organized by the National Societies, to develop their capacities and to promote the cooperation and exchange of expertise and resources among them.
They are the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world, where only one National Society should exist in one independent country (Red Cross or Red Crescent). They act as auxiliaries to local public authorities in humanitarian activities. They also provide a range of humanitarian services including disaster relief and health and social programs. In wartime, they assist affected civilians. They are recognized as auxiliaries to the military medical services.
In Lebanon, the National Society is the Lebanese Red Cross. Founded in 1945, it was recognized as an auxiliary to the medical service of the Lebanese Army in 1946. It was recognized by the International Committee of the Red Cross-Geneva in 1947. It became a member of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in 1947 and it is a founder member of the Secretariat General of the Arab Red Crescent and Red Cross Societies.

John Cawte Beaglehole  (13 June 1901 – 10 October 1971) was a New Zealand historian whose greatest scholastic achievement was the editing of James Cook's three journals of exploration, together with the writing of an acclaimed biography of Cook, published posthumously. He had a lifelong association with Victoria University College, which became Victoria University of Wellington, and after his death it named the archival collections after him.

Early life and career
Beaglehole was born and grew up in Wellington, New Zealand, the second of the four sons of David Ernest Beaglehole, a clerk, and his wife, Jane Butler. His younger brother was Ernest Beaglehole, who became a psychologist and ethnologist. John was educated at Mount Cook School and Wellington College before being enrolled at Victoria University College, Wellington of the University of New Zealand, which later became an independent university, and where he subsequently spent most of his academic career. After his graduation, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the London School of Economics, and left for England in 1926.

After three years of post-graduate study Beaglehole obtained his PhD with a thesis on British colonial history. At this time he was much influenced by left-wing teachers, especially R. H. Tawney and Harold Laski, and on returning to New Zealand he found it difficult to obtain an academic post owing to his radical views. For a time he had various jobs including a spell as a Workers Educational Association lecturer, and had time to develop other enthusiasms including civil rights issues, writing poetry, and music, an interest inherited from his mother. In 1932 he took a temporary position as a lecturer in history at Auckland University College, but within months the position was abolished in a retrenchment by the college council. Many believed the decision was due more to the college's reaction to Beaglehole's reputation (albeit exaggerated) for radicalism. His academic career finally took off in 1934 after the publication of his first major book, The Exploration of the Pacific, after which he developed his specialist interest in James Cook. He became lecturer, later professor, at the Victoria University College.

He married Elsie Mary Holmes in 1930, and they had three sons.

Editing Cook's journals

Beaglehole became known internationally for his work on Cook's journals which brought out his great gifts as historian and editor. It was not all desk work among the archives – he also travelled widely in Cook's wake, from Whitby to Tahiti, to Tonga and to the New Hebrides. The four volumes of the journals that emerged between 1955 and 1967 were subsidised by the New Zealand government which also set up a special research post for their author. The sheer size of these tomes, each of them approaching 1,000 pages, may seem disconcerting at first sight, but they are enlivened by Beaglehole's stylish and often witty introductions, intended to set the journals in their contexts. As well as Cook's own journals Beaglehole also printed, either entire or in lengthy extracts, the journals of several of Cook's colleagues on the voyages. The introductions themselves, together with copious footnotes, reveal the breadth of his erudition. They cover many topics, ranging from the structure of Polynesian society to oceanography, navigation, cartography, and much else.

Much of the zoological and botanical notes for Beaglehole's work on James Cook's three voyages were provided by Dr Averil Margaret Lysaght.

Cook's journals themselves had never before been comprehensively and accurately presented to the public, and to do so required enormous research since copies and fragments of the journals and related material were scattered in various archives in London, Australia and New Zealand. For his edition, Beaglehole sought out the various surviving holographs in Cook's own hand in preference to copies by his clerks on board ship, and others. For the first voyage, the voyage of the Endeavour, he used mainly the manuscript journal held in the National Library of Australia at Canberra. This only came to light in 1923, when the heirs of a Teesside ironmaster, Henry Bolckow, put it up for sale. Bolckow had purchased this manuscript at an earlier auction, in 1868, but had not made his ownership widely known, and consequently it was assumed for many years that no such holograph existed. For the second voyage Beaglehole used two other partial journals in Cook's hand, both of which had the same early history as the Endeavour journal. All three had probably once been owned by Cook's widow, and sold by a relation of hers at the 1868 auction. The difference was that the two partial journals from the second voyage were then purchased by the British Museum and not by Bolckow, and hence had long been available for public consultation. And for the third voyage Beaglehole's main source was a journal written, and much revised, by Cook up to early January 1779, a month before he died. What happened to the final month's entries, which must certainly have been made, is uncertain. This, too, is today in the British Library, the successor to the British Museum as a manuscript repository.

All students of Cook owe an enormous debt to Beaglehole for his all-encompassing editorship. So much so, in fact, that today it is difficult to view the subject of Cook except through Beaglehole's perspective. Some recent biographies of Cook have tended to be little else than abbreviated versions of Beaglehole. Nevertheless, it is also clear that Beaglehole's work is, by and large, a continuation of the long tradition of Cook idealisation, a tradition from which post-Beaglehole scholarship has started to diverge.  For Beaglehole, Cook was an heroic figure who practically could do no wrong, and he is scathing about those contemporaries of Cook who ever ventured to criticise his hero, such as Alexander Dalrymple, the geographer, and Johann Reinhold Forster, who accompanied Cook on the second voyage. Recent research has to some extent rehabilitated both Dalrymple and Forster.

Honours and awards
In the 1958 Queen's Birthday Honours, Beaglehole was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, for services in the fields of historical research and literature. During his last decade, Beaglehole was showered with honorary degrees from universities at home and abroad and other distinctions. Perhaps the most prestigious was the award in 1970 of the British Order of Merit. He was only the second New Zealander ever to receive this award, the first being the nuclear physicist Ernest Rutherford.

Later life and death
Just before he died in 1971 Beaglehole was in the process of revising his detailed and authoritative biography of Cook, which was subsequently prepared for publication by his son Tim, who was Chancellor and Emeritus Professor at Victoria.

Archival collections at Victoria University

Beaglehole's alma mater, the Victoria University of Wellington, named its archival collections after him, in the reading room of which is displayed his portrait, by W.A. Sutton. The J.C. Beaglehole Room, as it is known, was moved into a completely new space in 2011.

Inovus Medical secures contract as part of a £5.56 million technology funding by NHS England
Helen Hanson
Inovus Medical, a leading designer and manufacturer of medical and surgical simulators, announced this week that development of their revolutionary Augmented Reality laparoscopic simulator is to gather pace after securing a £1 million product development contract through SBRI Healthcare, funded by NHS England.
The technology, which is set to democratise access to highly realistic, affordable laparoscopic simulation, began development in 2018 thanks to an initial £100,000 SBRI phase one contract.
Having successfully developed a functional beta product, and following presentation of the
technology to the SBRI Healthcare panel earlier this year, Inovus has been awarded phase two funding to allow them to complete development of a commercially ready offering. The contract was awarded in the technology in surgery category of SBRI Healthcare's £5.56 million funding round in which there was a focus on improving preoperative surgical simulation.
The company has used a novel approach to develop what it calls 'functional Augmented Reality' by merging real feel soft tissue models with digital anatomy and ensuring seamless interaction between both the digital and real environments. The company has developed a proprietary method for triggering and managing intraoperative complications such as bleeding vessels and bowel perforations. The technology also allows tracking of decision making and tracking surgical performance combined with an online portfolio to show progression in skill over time.
As pioneers of the 'take home laparoscopic simulator' Inovus has developed their newest technology with their three core values of affordability, accessibility and functionality in mind. The project will see the launch of a suite of simulators in early 2020 that offer improved
realism in haptic feedback and immersion at a fraction of the cost of existing 'high fidelity' virtual reality simulators; truly democratising access to realistic laparoscopic simulation.
Inovus Medical CEO, Dr Elliot Street, said "There is a growing disconnect between the increasing demands for trainee surgeons to demonstrate surgical proficiencies in the simulated environment, and ready access to realistic simulators to do this. The AR simulators we are developing are the perfect solution to that unmet need. We are extremely grateful to SBRI Healthcare for supporting our vision on this project and are excited to deliver a successful second phase over the coming months."
Quote from SBRI healthcare/NHSE:
Professor Tony Young OBE, National Clinical Lead for Innovation at NHS England and NHS Improvement said: "The fusion of virtual reality with keyhole surgical simulators represents the next step in how we train surgeons and the Pyxus-AR from Inovus is leading the way in this field. The SBRI award recognizes the cutting edge nature of this technology and I am delighted that this has arisen from one of our NHS Clinical Entrepreneurs, Dr. Elliot Street. Innovations like this can help us transform medical education and training and equip the NHS workforce with
the skills and knowledge they need to deliver high quality patient care."
This work was commissioned and funded by the SBRI Healthcare programme. SBRI Healthcare is an NHS England initiative, championed by the Academic Health Scienbec Networks (AHSNs). The views expressed in this release are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the SBRI Healthcare programme or its stakeholders.
