Relentless violence raises fear of war
BAGHDAD — Officials in Iraq are growing increasingly concerned about an unabated spike in violence that claimed at least 33 more lives yesterday and is reviving fears of a return to widespread sectarian fighting.
The United Nations envoy to Iraq warned that "systemic violence is ready to explode," as authorities announced plans to impose a ban on many cars across the Iraqi capital, starting today, in an apparent effort to thwart car bombings.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, was shown on state television visiting security checkpoints around Baghdad the previous night as part of a three-hour inspection tour, underscoring the government's efforts to show it is acting to curtail the bloodshed.
Iraqi security forces are struggling to contain the country's most-relentless round of violence since the U.S. military withdrawal in 2011.
The rise in violence follows months of protests against the Shiite-led government by Iraq's Sunni minority, many of whom feel they've been marginalized and unfairly treated since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Tensions escalated sharply last month after a deadly crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp.
Sunni militants, including al-Qaida, have long targeted Iraq's Shiite majority and government security forces. But Sunni mosques and other targets also have been struck over the past several weeks, raising the possibility that Shiite militias are also growing more active.
Several members of the security forces were killed in yesterday's bombings. The attacks also included an assassination attempt by a suicide bomber targeting a provincial governor in the country's Sunni-dominated west.
"These daily patterns of car bomb attacks … in Baghdad and some other cities (are) really unacceptable for the people of Iraq, who have suffered so much," Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said yesterday.
"It's the government's responsibility to redouble its efforts, to revise its security plans, to contain this wave, to prevent it from sliding into sectarian conflict and war," he added. "That should not happen again."
The spike in violence, which has gained momentum since the middle of the month, is raising worries that Iraq is heading back toward the widespread sectarian bloodletting that spiked in 2006 and 2007 and pushed the country to the brink of civil war.
More than 500 people have been killed in May. The month before was Iraq's deadliest since June 2008, according to a United Nations tally that put April's death toll at more than 700.
"Iraq is a reactor that's overheating and there's little coolant available," said Ramzy Mardini, an analyst at the Iraq Institute for Strategic Studies, in Beirut. "Iraq's nascent politics is not equipped to sustain the current dangerous levels of internal and external pressure. There needs to be an off-ramp to relieve some of the pressure."
The vehicle ban coming into effect today applies to cars bearing temporary black license plates. Those plates are common in post-war Iraq, where for years it was difficult to obtain new ones. They are typically on older-model vehicles and are more difficult to trace, and authorities say they are frequently used in car bombings.
Most of yesterday's blasts erupted in Baghdad.
Car bombs killed four people in the northeastern Shiite neighborhood of Binouq, and three died in a bombing at a market selling spare car parts in central Baghdad, police said. In Baghdad's Ur, an eastern neighborhood of Shiites, a parked car bomb went off next to an army patrol, killing four people and wounding 17, police said.
Police officials also said that a roadside bomb exploded near a police patrol in the commercial district of Karradah, a largely Shiite area in central Baghdad, killing three people there. That explosion shattered glass on several storefronts and left the police unit's modified Ford pickup truck charred and mangled.
In Baghdad's Shaab, a northern neighborhood of Shiites, a car bomb exploded in a commercial area, killing six civilians and wounding 17 others.
In the largely Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah in the capital's north, a car bomb struck near a military convoy, killing three people, including two soldiers, police said. Fourteen more people were wounded in that attack.
A bomb hidden on a minibus killed three people and maimed eight in the eastern neighborhood of New Baghdad, a mixed Sunni-Shiite area. And a police patrol was struck in the southern neighborhood of Saydiyah, wounding six.
In Anbar province, the provincial governor escaped an assassination attempt when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden car into his convoy, said his deputy, Dhari Arkan. The governor escaped unharmed, but four of his guards were wounded.
In the former insurgent stronghold city of Mosul, about 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, a suicide bomber attacked a federal police checkpoint, killing three people, police said.
And to the west of Mosul, a suicide attacker drove his explosives-packed car into a security checkpoint, killing two members of the security forces and two civilians, said a police officer and a doctor. Eight other people were wounded in the attacks in the town of Tal Afar, they added.
The United Nations envoy to Iraq, Martin Kobler, urged Iraqi leaders to do more to "pull the country out of this mayhem."
"Systemic violence is ready to explode at any moment," he said in a statement.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but blame is likely to fall on al-Qaida's Iraq arm, which frequently carries out bombings against civilians and security forces in an effort to undermine faith in the government.


The crew of the huge Airbus 330 at first sense nothing, the flight displays still showing them on course to New York. But with puzzled passengers reporting stars on the wrong side and growing alarm over the sudden failure of all their radios - and when armed fighters pull alongside to force them to land - the confused pilots discover that Flight 10 is streaking back toward the hyper-volatile Middle East and there is nothing they can do about it.
With an alphabet soup of federal agencies struggling for answers and messages flying between Washington, and Tel Aviv where the flight began, the growing supposition that Flight 10 may be hijacked is fueled by the presence of a feared and hated former head of state sitting in first class, a man with an extreme Mid East agenda who may somehow be responsible for the Airbus A-330's loss of control. As frantic speculation spreads, the possibility that the unresponsive airliner could be the leading edge of a sophisticated attack on Iran designed to provoke a nuclear response drives increasingly desperate decisions.
As time and fuel runs low, flying at full throttle toward a hostile border ahead, Captain Jerry Tollefson and First Officer Dan Horneman have to put their personal animosities aside and risk everything to wrest control from the electronic ghost holding them - and perhaps the world - on a course to certain disaster.
And in the "Hole" - as the war room in Tel Aviv is called - the interim Prime Minister of Israel grapples with a horrifying choice in the balance between 300 airborne lives and the probability of nuclear war.

Friends of Italy Partners with HoMA for Italian Film Viewings!

Directed by Gianfranco Rossi. Italy. 2016. 108 min. Italian with English subtitles.
An Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature and the first nonfiction film to win the top prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, Fire at Sea takes place in Lampedusa, the Mediterranean island that has become a major entry point for refugees into Europe. There, we meet Samuele, a 12-year old boy who lives simply, climbing rocks by the shore and playing with his slingshot. Nearby, we bear witness as thousands of men, women, and children risk their lives to make the brutal crossing from Africa. Filmmater Gianfranco Rosi masterfully juxtaposes these realities, jolting the audience into a new understanding of what is happening in the region, the heavy toll of the migrant crisis, and the price of freedom.

Business and Arts South Africa (BASA), the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) and the National Lotteries Commission (NLC), recently launched the DAC Debut Programme to provide mentorship to young creatives from peri-urban areas across the country.
The programme concluded its maiden programme on 28 November, with the DAC Debut Wrap Event at the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg.
Minister of Arts and Culture Nathi Mthethwa launched the DAC Debut Programme for emerging artists, which saw the creation of opportunities for budding artistes. The programme offers training and funding opportunities for young artistes from all disciplines, making their debut in the creative industries.
The Wrap Event, hosted at the National School of the Arts, was a celebration of the top nine DAC Debut provincial winners, as well as the impact of the mentorship they received from industry experts from the business and arts sectors. The winners, who hail from all nine provinces, participated in a series of development workshops, aimed at improving their skills, with the end goal of making their creative ventures a reality.
Hosted and facilitated by TV personality, Rorisang Thandekiso, the event included an inspiring performance from Siphokazi Jonas, the Western Cape Winner at the event. DAC's senior manager for Arts & Youth Development Moleleki Ledimo explained the value of the programme to the packed venue, bringing particular attention to the alumni and various opportunities available to them.
North-West winner Rehilwe Mooketsi said: "The programme has enabled me to articulate a creative and entrepreneurial direction. The obligation to account for the financial activities, accept responsibility for them, and disclose the results to the funder, has set me up for the future. I've developed a strong characteristic of accountability and discipline."

MKU founder launches TV and radio station
BT Reporter
New television and radio stations are set to hit the airwaves. Cape Media, owned by Prof Simon Gicharu, is putting final touches on the two stations which "should go live in the next two months."
Prof Gicharu, one of Kenya's most respected entrepreneurs and founder of Mount Kenya University, is seeking a pie of Kenya's media business by launching TV 47 and Beats 47 radio after operating a radio and TV in Rwanda for three years. The broadcast media will target audience across all the 47 counties with news, entertainment and entrepreneurship.
Cape Media is being run by Prof Gicharu's son, Kevin, who will be in charge of daily operations. Currently, Cape Media is recruiting staff for the new stations, including journalists and managers. Early this week the company advertised more than 40 positions. [scroll down for the job advert]
READ ALSO: THE TOP RADIO STATIONS IN KENYA TODAY
The entrepreneur, who is also the chairman of MKU, is understood to be investing Ksh500 million in the venture, financed by a local bank. Prof Gicharu said he had closed Royal TV, his television station in Kigali, and moved it to Kenya.
The radio, Royal FM, is still operational and is the only radio station hosting breakfast show in English language in Rwanda and is ranked among the top three. Kigali in the Morning is hosted by former Capital FM presenter Jackie Lumbasi. "In Rwanda people consume radio than TV," he told BT.
Prof Simon Gicharu has entered Kenya's media space.
Mr Gicharu could not reveal strategic details about the planned programming and content, but appears to be positioning the media house for audiences and business in the counties. It will also come in handy for MKAU by providing internship opportunities for its students and jobs for its graduates.

Cape Media will be the newest media house to join the industry in Kenya, jumping into a highly competitive market where many players are struggling to stay afloat. The advertising cake has been shrinking even as media houses increase, especially in TV where digital broadcasting has opened the space to more players.
Even main media houses like Nation Media Group and Standard Group are not sitting pretty, recording revenue drops over the past few years. Royal Media Services is dusting itself for battle while smaller players are veering on the brink of collapse.
But being a shrewd businessman, Kenyans will be waiting to see the kind of strategy Prof Gicharu will roll out for his media house.

Residents in the Central and the Western Tarai districts will have to wait for at least another three days to have respite from the oppressive heat wave they have been experiencing these days.
Weathermen forecast the heat wave condition will continue to persist for at least another three days as there is no chance of rainfall activity in that period.
"With no signs of rainfall or cool winds travelling from India, the heat wave condition is likely to prevail further in the Tarai districts along the West and Far-Western region along with some parts of the Central region," warned Subash Rimal of Meteorological Forecasting Division.
He added that the districts along the western Tarai belts are vulnerable to hot and dry summer wind condition, also locally known as Loo, due to the influence of the scorching temperatures along the nearest Indian side in Rajasthan and north-west part including the Uttarakhand area.
The dry spell compounded with absence of development of rain forming systems along the low pressure areas in the western Tarai districts along with the low-lying districts in the Central Region has led the mercury level to rise above 35 degree Celsius in most places with Nepalgunj town of Banke district registering the highest 42 degree Celsius on Monday.
Other places which recorded temperatures above 40 degree Celsius were Dhangadhi and Dipayal and Bhairahawa. The Eastern Tarai districts, however, with the influence of the low pressure system developing along the Bay of Bengal in India, are getting cool air containing some moisture, resulting in occasional thunderstorms in some Hill districts like Okhaldhunga and Taplejung.
With the day temperatures soaring above 40 degree Celsius in Bardiya, human activities in public places have significantly decreased in the recent days. Likewise, the dry spell followed by hot afternoon wind has also affected the life in Nawalparasi, Chitwan, Makwanpur, Parsa, Sarlahi, Rautahat districts.
Hot weather has also increased the risk of various diseases. According to Dr Bisheshwor Shah at Bardiya District Hospital, along with the diarrhoea, complaints of headache and fever have increased of late. In Kapilvastu, a 60-year-old man died of an apparent hypertermia three days ago.
Schools in various Tarai districts have reported an increase in the absent percentage of students in the recent days.

Government announces extra £900m for adult social care over two years
Author: Educare Staffing | Posted: 16th December 2016 | Category: General News
Councils are being given the power to raise tax for social care by six per cent over the next two years, as part of £900m of extra money, but critics call it a 'sticking plaster' for the care sector's ills.
Sajid Javid, minister for Department for Communities and Local Government said:
'Local authorities across England will be able to add a three percent levy to council tax bills in 2017/18 and an extra three per cent in 2018/19.'
Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid announced the move in a statement to the House of Commons about the Local Government Finance Settlement. Currently, the social care precept allows councils to raise as much as two percent a year through council tax for adult social care.
The minister told MPs an additional £652m could be raised from the social care precept (£208m in 2017/18 and £444m in 2018/19).
Mr Javid also announced that over the next two years:
"New money of £240m which otherwise would have gone into the 'new homes bonus' budget will be transferred to adult social care budgets."
Against a backdrop of jeers in the House of Commons, the Minister said of the £652m from the social care precept and £240m from the new homes bonus: "This is £900m additional money over the next two years, which would not have happened had these changes not been announced."
The minister also said:
"The overall increase in the social care precept over the next three years will remain at six per cent".
97 per cent of councils have accepted the settlement including South and West Yorkshire and 10 councils have not.

We are beginning a new theme at the Hornchurch Buddhist Group based around the book The Journey and the Guide: A Practical Course in Enlightenment by Maitreyabandhu (available at the London Buddhist Centre and various on-line book sellers).
Some of you will have read the book before (and some of you know the author).
If you haven't read the book, we encourage you to get a copy. It is written in an engaging and contemporary style. It gives a coherent overview of Buddhist practice within the Triratna Community and lots of practical guidance and examples. We'll be commencing with Chapter 1 on January 15th and moving on from there, pausing for a practice evening after each pair of Chapters.
This may sound like a lot but the beauty of these practices is that they can be slipped into a busy daily schedule and will even free up time!
Come and enjoy the journey!

Forest Service making up for lost time in fire prevention efforts
published by www.washingtonpost.com
USA –– WASHINGTON — The Forest Service is spending more on fire prevention, an approach that should help reduce the number and severity of future forest fires, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Thursday.
Vilsack said the agency is making up for past practices in which money that was meant for forest maintenance was instead used for more immediate needs, like fighting active fires.
"We're trying to make up for lost efforts," he said.
Vilsack's comments come as firefighters continue to battle destructive blazes across the West, fueled by an epic drought and a massive beetle infestation that has ravaged millions of trees.
Conditions are worse than usual where overgrown forests are even more vulnerable to the kind of super-fires that have consumed millions of acres and hundreds of homes.
Fire restoration and mitigation efforts last year, such as thinning and removal of brush and smaller trees that can fuel fires, helped reduce fire threats on about 123,000 acres of land nationwide, Vilsack said.
"We're in the process of making sure we do everything we possibly can to mitigate the risk," he added.
Congress passed legislation in 2009 that made sure firefighting efforts would not be funded at the expense of fire prevention programs.
The Forest Service already has announced a schedule to boost restoration and thinning programs by 20 percent each year in areas that face the greatest danger of a catastrophic fire. This year, the agency will target 4 million acres at a cost of about $1 billion.
The largest project is a 20-year plan to restore 2.4 million acres across four forests in northern Arizona.
Last year, the Forest Service spent a record $48 million on burned-area recovery work. Nearly $25 million already has been spent on similar efforts this year. The funding comes from the agency's annual fire suppression budget.

Russia makes a controversial deal to lease Siberia land to China
Landscapes in Russia's Trans-Baikal territory (Itar-Tass)
Russia is planning to least to a Chinese company for 49 years 115,000 hectares (284,050 acres) of land to grow crops and rear livestock in eastern Siberia. The lease will be at the rate of 250 rubles (about $4.63) per hectare, totaling $26 million, plus investments worth around 3 billion yuans ($448 million).
The land is in in the Trans-Baikal region on the border with China in Russia's Federal District of Siberia. This announcement has provoked nationalists in Moscow and Siberia, who may welcome China's investments, but are unhappy with the influx of ethnic Chinese that would enter the region.
This caused an uproar in social media, with comments like, "China's creeping expansion in Russia has begun" and "the Motherland is being sold out piece by piece."
This has forced Russian officials to call concerns about Chinese expansion a "myth." According to one Russian analyst:
"There are fears of irrational nature about China in society.
China is perceived in Russian consciousness as something alien and different compared with western culture. Besides, China is developing so swiftly that many Russians fear that it may suppress Russia. ...
[Also,] China possesses some of the world's most advanced agricultural technologies and could help Russia in this respect."
However, other analysts are raising concerns about proposed terms of the deal that Russian officials are rarely mentioning: namely that the Chinese plan a "large-scale" migration to the leased Russian lands.
According to a Russian analysis, quoting Chinese media:
"Leasing Russian land to the Chinese , apparently, goes far beyond a purely agricultural enterprise.
China has its own requirements for the project: ... 'If you can't legally solve the problem of large-scale involvement of the Chinese labor force, any long-term cooperation with Chinese agricultural enterprises [is] out of the question," [according to China's] 'Huanqiu Shibao newspaper.' In other words, the Chinese say that the existing border and migration regime with Russia do not suit them. ...
[Russians] are wary of China's economic expansion in the light of China's territorial claims on Russia. ... Beijing is well aware that the issue of delivery of Russian land is not solved in the administration of the Trans-Baikal Territory. That is why Beijing calls a long-term transfer of land the "ideological emancipation" of Russia to China. ...
[The letter of intent for the lease] indicates that the project will be implemented only with "large-scale" Chinese migration to Russia. ... So, under these restrictions, Moscow will have to agree to the abolition of the existing border and migration regime for the Chinese.

In my recent article "18-Jun-15 World View -- Russia's 'saber-rattling' nuclear threat may be directed at China, not Europe", I quoted an analyst who suggested that Russia's threat to add more than 40 ICBMs to its nuclear arsenal was made because of existential threats from China rather than from Europe.
Several web site readers said that this didn't make sense. One comment said:
"I don't see it. Vladivostok is the home of the Russian Pacific Fleet. Russia has over two dozen nuclear-armed submarines alone, swimming around. Eastern Russia is armed to the teeth to ward off and respond to US attack, a legacy of the Cold War. Russia has been granted port facilities in Vietnam, a long time ally. In addition, Russia has excellent commercial ties with China and has just signed a long term oil deal with them. China and Russia's interests are economically win-win. They each gain from each other's economic strength: raw material (Russia), manufacturing (China). They have a symbiotic economic and political interest in trade with the rest of the world, especially Europe. China would surely benefit from Russian collapse, but only if they could then expropriate, occupy, govern and defend a vast territory - and for what? They already have a sweet deal for the only thing Russia is useful for: raw materials."
It's true that Russia and China have managed to paper over their differences in the last few years, but Russia and China have had centuries of extremely bitter and violent relations, at least since the 13th century Mongol invasion of Russia. As recently as 1969 there was a border war between China and Russia, with the threat of a much wider war.
There is something that China values more than raw materials or even people: land. And that's what at issue in the Trans-Baikal deal in Russia's Federal District of Siberia described above.
The situation in Russia's Federal District of Far East -- which is even farther east than Siberia -- is particularly desperate for Russia. The Far East is an enormous region, but only 7.4 million Russians populate the region. This means that the region acts as a kind of "safety valve" for migrants from northeast China, with its population of 70 million.
According to some estimates, there are 2-5 million Chinese illegal immigrants living in Russia's Far East, and the number is increasing by a million or so every year.
For those who might enjoy some Schadenfreude at Russia's expense, consider the following: Russia justified last year's illegal invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula by saying that Russia needed to protect all the Russian citizens living there.
So, as Chinese migrants pour into Russia's Far East, it won't be long before the Chinese can use Russia's argument against Russia: China has to annex Russia's Far East in order to protect all the Chinese citizens living there.
At any rate, the purpose of the article on Russia's nuclear saber-rattling was to make the point that Russia cannot win a conventional war with China in the Far East, and so would have to resort to nuclear weapons, just as Pakistan cannot win a conventional war with India, and would have to resort to nuclear weapons, which might be why Russia is adding nuclear ICBMs to its inventory.

This is a very interesting medieval English occupational surname. According to Canon Charles Bardsley writing in the year 1880, it describes a groom, one whose specific duty was to teach horses to amble. This was a gait between a walk and a trot where both legs on one side moved together, providing a smooth movement. The word amble derives from the Latin ambulare, meaning to walk, although ambling is rather more than walking. Palfreys, a light saddle horse, were regarded as being particularly suitable for women and elderly people, and were as a matter of course, taught to amble. In the records known as Whitakers Craven for the year 1320 we have the entry in Latin of - Item: pro informatione unius pulli ad amulandum, 11s 6d. This figure would have been a significant sum, the equivalent of several weeks wages. Occupational surnames were amongst the first to be created in about the 12th century. However they did not generally become heriditary unless a son or sometimes a daughter, followed the father, or sometimes the mother, into the same skill or business. In this case the first recording may be that of Thomas le Amblur of York in the Hundred Rolls of landowners in 1273, whilst William Ambler without any preposition appears in the same rolls. This suggests that the first named holder may have the name as a nickname. Ambler and Palfreyman are both particularly popular surnames in the county Yorkshire.

In 1988, at age 26, Lauren Slater lived alone in a sparsely furnished basement apartment in Cambridge, Mass. She was unemployed, having finished college with a spotty record and having dropped out of graduate creative-writing school after one semester.
She then held a variety of mostly menial jobs from which she was usually dismissed because her abilities were compromised by a psychopathology involving depression, self-mutilation and suicide attempts that had led to five hospitalizations.
Ten years later, Ms. Slater was a changed person. She had a master's degree in psychology from Harvard and a doctorate from Boston College, completed in only two years. She was the director of a clinic, Aftercare Services. She had published a book, ''Welcome to My Country,'' about her work with the insane. She taught writing at Goucher College. She was happily married.
Because the transformation in Ms. Slater's life was brought about by Prozac -- prescribed in 1988 to treat her obsessive-compulsive disorder, when the drug was new and little-known -- you would think that her new book, about that experience, would be an unqualified hymn of celebration.
So Ms. Slater never stopped doubting the drug. She worried about being addicted and dependent. She worried that without her sexuality, she could not possibly be in touch with her essential self. She tried to embrace the post-modern notion that no real self truly exists, but she found that she could never believe this.
''And with that,'' she writes, ''he bowed, smiled, and hurled my rose at the wall, whereupon, after a perfect click of contact, it broke into hundreds of icy beads.
''So damn easy to deconstruct.
So is the chemistry of ''Prozac Diary'' beautiful. If only you could trust that its elements might melt into a soul.

Heart-touching Reunion Of 39-year-old Elephant With Daughter After 12 Yrs Apart, Pics To Prove That They Are As Emotional As We Are
Leela Adwani |Aug 27, 2020
After more than a decade, not only did she meet her long-lost daughter but also got to see her granddaughters, Elani (1) and Tamika (4).

Feelings do exist among the animals, there are no two ways about it. In a very heartwarming incident taking place at a Zoo in Germany recently, a mother-daughter elephant pair could reunite after a 12-year separation.
The staff of the Zoo Halle witnessed an emotional reunion of a 39-year-old elephant, Pori, and her 19-year-old daughter, Tana. Only best moms get promoted to grandma and Pori is the case in point. She has also become the grandmother of two baby elephants. After more than a decade, not only did she meet her long-lost daughter but also got to see her granddaughters, Elani (1) and Tamika (4).
Pori is on the right while her daughter and granddaughters on the left
On the Zoo's Facebook account, they also shared the sweet and heart-touching photos of the elephant family along with an announcement that they have been let out of the enclosures to meet and mingle physically.
For those who are unversed, Pori came to Halle from Berlin where she gave birth to her daughter in 2001. When Tana turned 7, she had to leave her mother. In fact, elephants always live with each other in herds and they follow a matriarchal family structure while male elephants mainly leave the herds when they are ready to be mating.
The pictures showing their adorable reunion are going viral on the Internet

The grandma Pori was actually born in Africa in the year 1981 and then brought to Germany when she was two years old. After some relocations, Pori was eventually moved to the Berlin Zoo for breeding.
As per a special "tradition" of the elephants, Pori and Tana could be seen shooting sand on each other's back to express their feelings when they could unite after a long time.
When meeting her granddaughters, Pori carefully approached them and both Tamika and Elani didn't take much time to stand under their great grandmother's belly in a very brave way.
The emotional reunion of the elephant family, needless to say, grab eyeballs from the netizens. And how about you? What do you think about it? Let us know!

The most important developments in the history of English consonants were the growth of new sets of sounds, affricates and sibilants, and the new phonological treatment of fricatives. Both changes added a number of consonant phonemes to the system. some consonants were lost or vocalised, which affected both the consonant and the vowel system.
Growth of sibilants and affricates.
In OE there were no affricates and no sibilants, except [s, z]. The earliest distinct sets of these sounds appeared towards the end of OE or during the Early ME period. The new type of consonants developed from OE palatal plosives [k', g'] (which had split from the corresponding velar plosives [k] and [g] in Early OE, and also from the consonant cluster [sk']. The three new phonemes which arose from these sources were [tʃ], [dʒ] and [ʃ]. The opposition of velar consonants to palatal - [k, k'; y, j]—had disappeared; instead, plosive consonants were contrasted to the new affricates and in the set of affricates [tʃ] was opposed to [dʒ] through sonority.
Phonologisation of voiced and voiceless fricatives was a slow process which lasted several hundred years. The first pair of consonants to become phonemes were [f] and [v]. In Late ME texts they occurred in identical phonetic environment and could be used for differentiation between words, which means that they had turned into phonemes. The two other pairs, [θ, ð] and [s, z], so far functioned as allophones. A new, decisive alteration took place in the 16th c. The fricatives were once again subjected to voicing under certain phonetic conditions. Henceforth they were pronounced as voiced if they were preceded by an unstressed vowel and followed by a stressed one. the endings took no accent but could be followed by other words beginning with an accented syllable. This supposition is confirmed by the voicing of consonants in many form-words: articles, pronouns, auxiliaries, prepositions; they receive no stress in speech but may be surrounded by notional words which are logically accented.
Loss of Consonants in certain positions and clusters.
In ME the length of the syllable was regulated by the lengthening and shortening of vowels; therefore the quantitative differences of the con-sonants became irrelevant.
The consonants [j ] and [ r ] were vocalised under certain phonetic conditions — finally and before consonants — during the ME and Early NE periods, though they continued to be used in other environments. Some consonants were lost in consonant clusters, which became simpler and easier to pronounce, e.g. the initial [x] survived in ME as an aspirate [h], when followed by a vowel, but was lost when followed by a sonorant. In Early NE the aspirate [h] was lost initially before vowels — though not in all the words.
About the same time voiceless consonants were voiced in several types of words. One of the conditions for the change seems to have been the unstressed position of the preceding vowel. Voicing mainly affects the consonant [s] and the cluster [ks], which become [z] and [gz]. In a few words it also affects the consonants [f] and [tʃ], which accordingly become [v] and [dʒ].
1. [s > z]. The most well-known examples of this voicing are some words of French origin: dessert, resemble, possess, observe, dissolve.
2. [ks > gz]. The following pairs of words are illustrative of the change (in the second of each pair the vowel preceding the cluster has either primary or secondary stress: exhibit - exhibition; exhort - exhortation; executor – execute.
3. The relation between [f] and [v] can only be illustrated by one example: of and off.
4. The change [tʃ > dʒ] occurred in ME knowleche > MnE knowledge.
The exact conditions of the change have yet to be studied.
We must distinguish two variants of the development of [x]: 1 - before t and 2 in final position.
[x] before t is lost, and the preceding short vowel is lengthened. For example: light [lixt > li:t], night [nixt > ni:t].
Long [i:] arising from this change took part in the vowel shift: [li:t > lait]. Spelling did not reflect this change, and these words are spelt with gh up to the present time. After the digraph gh had become silent, it was introduced into the word delight, on the analogy of the word light. In forms like brought, fought the [ou] developed into [o:]. In Northern dialects the [x] before t has been preserved to our days.
[x] final mostly changes into [f], as in rough, enough, laugh, tough, slough, trough. In a few words final [x] was lost, as in though, through.
On the other hand, the word laughter is pronounced with [f], which is probably due to influence of the word laugh.
[l] was lost before [k] and the labial consonants [m, f, v]. Thus the words talk, walk, folk, palm, calm, half came to be pronounced [to:k, wo:k, fouk, pa:m, ka:m, ha:f,]. However  before [v]was preserved in words of Latin origin, as in dissolve, resolve.  was also lost before [d] in should and would, which were usually unstressed. At the time when  was in the process of dropping and a word could be pronounced both with  and without it, an  appeared in words which had not had it in ME. This often happened in words of French origin; introduction of  might be supported by influence of the Latin prototype of the word and by imitation of French latinizing spelling of the 14th and 15th centuries.
Appearance and loss of [w].
In a few words with an initial labialized vowel there appeared an [w]. The most well-known example is the word one. The later development is not quite clear. Already in the 16th century the word was occasionally spelt wone, which points to appearance of initial [w]. The development seems to have been this: [o:n > wo:n > wu:n > wun > w^n]. Even in the late 17th century the pronunciation [w^n] was considered vulgar; in the 18th it was accepted by the literary language. A similar development took place in the adverb once [wAns < ME ones. [w] was lost in an unstressed syllable after a consonant in the words answer, Southwark, Greenwich, Norwich and so on.
In the word whole [houl] the letter w was introduced in spelling on the analogy of who, whom, whose.
Merger of [j] with preceding consonant.
The last essential phonetic change in the sphere of consonants was merger of [j] with the preceding consonant. This happened after a stressed vowel. The change affected the clusters [sj, zj, tj, dj], and a few others.
The change [sj > ʃ] occurred, for example Asia, Russia. In many words the spelling is -ti-. This spelling, borrowed from French, denoted in French the cluster [sj] and was taken over into English. nation, revolution. In a few words we find the spellings -xi- and -xu-; in these cases the changing cluster is preceded by [k]: connexion (connection, luxury. In issue and tissue both pronunciations can be heard. When the cluster [sj] preceded the stressed vowel, it usually remained unchanged: suit [sju:t], assume [a'sju:m]. However, in two words [sj] preceding the stressed vowel changed into [ʃ ]: sure and sugar.
Loss of consonants in initial clusters.
In certain cases the initial consonant of a cluster is Inst Thus, [k] and [g] are lost before[n] in knight, know, knit also in word of Greek origin: gnosis,gnomic.
When [kn] or [gn] was preceded by a vowel, it was preserved as in acknowledge, diagnosis.
Initial [w] is lost before [r]: write, wrong. The cluster [hw] or the voiceless [w] changed into [w] In present-day English pronunciation there is usually no difference between which and witch and between whether and weather. However, the pronunciation [hw] or [w] for written wh- can also be heard.
The consonant [h] was dropped in many unstressed syllables, as in forehead [ferid].
31. Middle English nouns. Unification of the ways of expressing plural number.
In ME, when the Southern traits were replaced by Central and Northern traits in the dialect of London, this pattern of noun declensions prevailed in literary English.
The process of eliminating survival plural forms went on in the 15th and 16th centuries. Forms like eyen, fon, which were still used by Chaucer, were now superseded by the regular forms eyes, foes.
In several substantives with final [f] or  alteration of the voiceless fricative with its voiced counterpart was eliminated. This is the case with roof (plural roofs) and other words in -oof; also with belief (beliefs), death (deaths), hearth (hearths).
However, with other substantives the alternation has been preserved, as in wife (wives), life (lives), half (halves), calf (calves), wolf (wolves); bath (baths), path (paths), youth (youths). With a few words two variants are possible: scarf (scarves, scarfs), truth (truths -6z, -0s). The substantive staff (OE staef, pl. stafas, ME staf, pl. staves) split into two separate words: staff, pl. staffs, and stave, pl. staves.
The alternation [f — v] begins to extend to the word handkerchief, whose second part is of French origin; alongside the plural form handkerchiefs a new form handkerchieves is occasionally used.
A few substantives have preserved their plural forms due to the weak declension or to mutation: ox (oxen), child (children), man (men), woman (women), foot (feet), goose (geese), tooth (teeth), mouse (mice), louse (lice), dormouse (dormice); here also belong the forms brethren (alongside brothers) and kine (alongside cows). Another type of plural has been preserved in the forms of the words sheep (sheep), deer (deer), swine (swine); compare fruit (fruit), also fish (fish), and names of several kinds of fish: trout, salmon, cod, etc., which usually take no -s in the plural.
This peculiarity appears to be due to the meaning of these words. Most of them are names of animals (ox, goose, mouse, louse, dormouse, sheep, deer, trout, salmon). The plural of these nouns is used to denote a mass (a flock of sheep, a herd of swine, a shoal of fish, etc.), rather than a multitude of individuals. This semantic peculiarity appears to have influenced the plural forms of these words.
As to the other words belonging here (man, woman, tooth, etc.) there must have been some other causes which determined their peculiar fate. Isolated plural forms have also been preserved in a few phrases which coalesced into compound words: twelvemonth (ОE twelf monap, fortnight (OE feowertyne niht), sennight (obsolete) (OE seofon niht).


The R. M. Bohart Museum of Entomology is a world class institution, dedicated to teaching, research and public service. The Museum contains the ninth largest insect collection in North America, and is the third largest university collection of insects. The Museum is located in a state-of-the-art facility in the Academic Surge Building, on the Davis campus of the University of California.
The collections in the Bohart Museum were originally developed as teaching and research collections for the Department of Entomology, at the University of California Farm, in Davis in 1946. The collections began as the contents of two Schmitt boxes. In 1966 the decision was made to maintain a type collection, which now contains more than 1500 primary types. As of 1969 the collection consisted of 100,000 specimens. In 1983 the Research Collection was officially given museum status by the Regents of the University of California, and was named after professor emeritus Richard M. Bohart. By 1995 the collection holdings had grown to 6 million curated specimens from all over the world, and had moved into a new National Science Foundation and University funded facility.
The Bohart Museum houses one of the largest systematic entomology resources in the United States, providing specimens and library materials to scientists and students worldwide through loans and visits. More than 40,000 specimens are loaned out for research per year.
