A thoroughbred race, from William R. Woodard, Cherished Portraits of Thoroughbred Horses (Privately printed, Ernest R. Gee, 1929)
Set in 1888, "The Adventure of Silver Blaze" is an early Sherlock Holmes story from the first year of Conan Doyle's fame. Although Conan Doyle was a sporting man, he knew little about horseracing, and mistakes in terminology and racing customs abound. Despite these small faults, the central mystery is gripping, and some favorite sayings of Sherlock Holmes originate here.
"The Adventure of Silver Blaze" (1)
A blaze is a long white characteristic mark down the nose of a horse. Silver Blaze's name might also imply something about the horse's speed.
"To Dartmoor–to King's Pyland." (1)
Dartmoor, a granite plateau stretching over hundreds of acres through Devon in the southwest of England, is a windswept wilderness of peat bogs and granite outcroppings. Sheep and wild ponies run free, although the extreme weather conditions make life difficult for animals, and even for plants. (See our archived issues of The Hound of the Baskervilles for pictures and more information.)
King's Pyland Stables and the Wessex Cup are fictional, but several racetracks and many stables are located in Devon, on the outskirts of the moor. The fictional King's Pyland, and its nearest town, the very real Tavistock, lie to the west of Dartmoor.
"...just time to catch our train at Paddington...." (1)
Paddington Railway Station is located northwest of Regent's Park, and is a hub for trains traveling to the southwest of England.
"...your very excellent field-glass." (1)
Holmes wants Watson to bring along his binoculars.
"...en route for Exeter...." (1)
A city in Devon, about 40 miles east of Tavistock.
...while Sherlock Holmes, with his sharp, eager face framed in his earflapped travelling cap.... (1)
Conan Doyle only mentions Holmes's "earflapped travelling cap" once. But Sidney Paget interpreted that cap as a deerstalker (see illustrations on page 2, 6, 10, and 12), and, ever since, Holmes has been envisioned by millions of readers as a man chronically addicted to eccentric headwear.
We had left Reading far behind us.... (1)
Reading is about 40 miles west of London.
"Our rate at present is fifty-three and a half miles an hour."
"I have not observed the quarter-mile posts," said I.
"Nor have I. But the telegraph posts upon this line are sixty yards apart, and the calculation is a simple one." (1)
The rough calculation of distance divided by time equals speed is fairly simple, provided that the train is traveling at a constant speed–but getting an answer accurate to a half a mile per hour is not simple at all. Many methods have been proposed for Holmes to do this calculation on the fly, the most ingenious of which involve counting telegraph poles for a specific amount of time, and comparing the result to what would happen if the train were traveling at 60 mph. Considering that the calculation is so complex, I would rather conjecture that Holmes observed the time it took to pass one or two poles, did a rough calculation, and threw in the extra half a mile per hour to impress Watson.
"I have seen what the Telegraph and the Chronicle have to say." (1)
The Daily Telegraph was founded in 1855, and today is one of the few remaining large-format–"broadsheet"–newspapers in England. In 1857, it began using the "box number" system for personal advertisements, so dear to Sherlock Holmes's (and Conan Doyle's) heart because it allowed anonymous postings with replies directed to the box number. Soon other newspapers took up this excellent system. Personal ads and reply boxes figure in a number of Sherlock Holmes's adventures. The photograph below of Conan Doyle's home Undershaw comes from the on-line version of the Daily Telegraph.
The Daily Chronicle was published from 1872 to 1930.
Whalebone and Camel, two ancestors of Isonomy, an actual racehorse, and of the fictional Silver Blaze. Note the blaze on Camel's nose. From William R. Woodard, Cherished Portraits of Thoroughbred Horses (facing pages 161 and 165)
"...is from the Isonomy stock...." (2)
Born in 1875, Isonomy (sired by Sterling, out of Isola Bella) was a successful racehorse who sired two English Triple Crown winners and several famous sire sons. From the ancient Greek, the word "isonomy" means "equality under the law."
"He is now in his fifth year, and has brought in turn each of the prizes of the turf to Colonel Ross, his fortunate owner." (2)
The racing career of a thoroughbred usually starts when the animal is two years old. The career peak is usually reached between three and five years of age, and, by five or six, the animal has been retired to stud or retrained as a polo pony or jumper. In Conan Doyle's day, racing careers lasted longer, although horses were usually retired well before age 10, at which point they were put out to stud, in the hopes of passing on their best characteristics to a new generation of thoroughbreds.
"Each of the prizes of the turf" is vague, but implies that Silver Blaze is a British Triple Crown winner.
"...a retired jockey, who rode in Colonel Ross's colours before he became too heavy for the weighing chair." (2)
Each stable has its own colors, worn by the jockeys who ride for it. These bright outfits are known as "silks."
Before and after each race, the jockey and the saddle are weighed together. Horses are given extra weight, or handicaps, in the form of lead weights inserted into the saddle, according to their racing records.
"...a Tavistock contractor...." (3)
Tavistock is an ancient town, with a population of about 11,000, located on the River Tavy, at the western edge of Dartmoor.
"...inhabited only by a few roaming gipsies." (3)
As always, "gipsies" are convenient, and much maligned, suspects in any mischief. "Gipsies" (or "gypsies") usually refers to the Roma people, who originated in India, but might alternatively refer to the "Irish Travelers," or "Pavee," nomadic Irish people who wander through Great Britain.
"...he wore gaiters...." (3)
"Gaiters" are leather sheaths that protect the shoes from mud, rain, etc. A country gentleman and horse-owner (like Colonel Ross) might be expected to wear them.
"...out of his waistcoat pocket." (3)
A "waistcoat" (pronounced "weskit") is a vest meant to be worn with a suit jacket. It contains tiny pockets, suitable for a pocket watch or other small objects.
"'Is it a fact that at the weights Bayard could give the other a hundred yards in five furlongs...?'" (4)
A furlong is an eighth of a mile, or 220 yards. The man seems to be asking if the King's Pyland stablehands themselves believe that Bayard could lose to the favorite, Silver Blaze, by a hundred yards in five furlongs even though the latter's handicap weight is so much greater.
"'So you're one of those damned touts,' cried the lad." (4)
"Tout" is a general term for a promoter. In horseracing, a tout buys and sells advance information about a horse or a race. In this case, the gentleman seems more worried about his own investment than about selling information to others.
"...who slept in the chaff-cutting loft above the harness-room...." (4)
Chaff is chopped-up straw and wheat husks, used for livestock feed.
"...flapping from a furze bush." (5)
"Furze," also known as "gorse" or "broom," is a wild plant that bears yellow flowers in spring.
"...a red and black silk cravat...." (5)
A forerunner of the modern necktie, a "cravat" would consist of a thicker piece of fabric.
"...by doing a little quiet and genteel bookmaking in the sporting clubs of London." (5)
"Bookmaking" is illicit betting. The "sporting clubs of London" would have been gentleman's clubs that concentrated on sport.
"...and his stick, which was a Penang lawyer, weighted with lead, was just such a weapon as might, by repeated blows, have inflicted the terrible injuries to which the trainer had succumbed." (5)
Straker's walking stick is made from the wood of a palm from Penang, formerly a British colony and now part of Peninsular Malaysia. Weighted with lead, the bulbous head of the hardwood stick would have made a dangerous weapon.

...the little town of Tavistock, which lies, like the boss of a shield, in the middle of the huge circle of Dartmoor. (6)
In fact, Tavistock is just on the western boundary of Dartmoor, and nowhere near its middle.
...with trim little side-whiskers and an eye-glass. (6)
"Side-whiskers" are sideburns. An "eye-glass," also known as a monocle, was a corrective lens worn only in one eye and secured by the pressure of the eye socket itself. A chain attached the eyeglass to the wearer's vest. Often associated with wealth and privilege in Victorian times, today, monocles have become a symbol of affectation.
A 19th-century landau from Hilaire Belloc's The Highway and Its Vehicles (London: Studio Limited, 1926) plate XL. See also the illustration on page 12 of the story.
A minute later we were all seated in a comfortable landau.... (6)
A landau is a four-wheeled carriage that seats four, and is unique for its two folded coverings (each one resembling the folded roof of a convertible car) that meet in the middle.
"He says that it was a ten-pound note." (7)
Since the stable boy's weekly salary was probably somewhat less than 20 shillings a week (about one pound), this is a considerable bribe.
There was a box of vestas, two inches of tallow candle, an A.D.P. briar-root pipe, a pouch of sealskin with half an ounce of long-cut Cavendish, a silver watch with a gold chain, five sovereigns in gold, an aluminium pencil-case, a few papers, and an ivory-handled knife with a very delicate inflexible blade marked Weiss and Co., London. (7-8)
Vestas are strike-anywhere matches made of wax. If any kind of match could be struck in the rain, it would be a vesta.
A tallow candle is made from rendered animal fat.
"A.D.P." refers to a brand of briar-root pipe manufactured during Conan Doyle's time. Briar pipes are made, not from briars, but from burls found on the roots of a variety of Mediterranean heather.
Cavendish was a brand of tobacco, sold in cakes.
Introduced in 1816, the gold sovereign pictures the reigning monarch on one side, and Saint George slaying the dragon on the other. Five gold sovereigns would have a face value of £5, or anywhere from approximately $350 to thousands in today's American currency, depending on whether the calculation is done relative to buying power, earning power, as a fraction of gross domestic product, etc. (See "Measuring Worth.com" for more information on this fascinating topic) Since Straker's yearly salary might have been somewhere in the neighborhood of £500, give or take a hundred, £5 would have been about half of his weekly salary.
John Weiss & Son was a maker of fine surgical instruments located in London, first at No. 62, Strand, and later at No. 287, Oxford Street.
"...a milliner's account for thirty-seven pounds fifteen, made out by Madame Lesurier, of Bond Street...." (8)
Millinery refers to hatmaking (and, in the 19th century, also to dressmaking). The bill is rather high for someone with Straker's probable income. "Bond Street" is still a fashionable address for designer clothing, although Madame Lesurier's shop is fictional.
"Twenty-two guineas is rather heavy for a single costume." (8)
A pound used to equal 20 shillings, but a guinea was worth 21. Although gold guineas were not minted past the first decade of the 19th century, the term continued to be used in commerce and wagering, especially when large sums of money were involved. Thirty-seven pounds, fifteen shillings, is worth about 36 guineas, of which more than half was spent on one outfit.
"Surely I met you in Plymouth, at a garden party...." (8)
In his concentration upon the facts of the case, Holmes fails to respond to the lady's obvious grief-stricken state.
Plymouth is about 15 miles due south of Tavistock.
He took the boots from the bag and compared the impressions of each of them with marks upon the ground. (9)
In Conan Doyle's time, forensic science was in its infancy, and some of the techniques used by Holmes were only starting to be adopted by police departments. See E.J. Wagner, The Science of Sherlock Holmes: from Baskerville Hall to the Valley of Fear, the Real Forensics behind the Great Detective's Greatest Cases (Hoboken, N.J.: John Wiley & Sons, 2006).
"We imagined what might have happened, acted upon the supposition, and find ourselves justified." (10)
"It is a capital mistake to theorize in advance of the facts," says Holmes in "The Second Stain."

Hall farm, in Sampford Spiney, within 5 miles of Tavistock, was built in 1607 and photographed by Taylor in 1917 (ref. # DA-000432).

It ended at the paving of asphalt which led up to the gates of the Mapleton stables. (10)
Old Dartmoor farmsteads are not as grand as one might imagine from the story. Some examples are shown below at left.
"Oh, you can trust me, you can trust me!"
"Yes, I think I can." (11)
In later editions, these lines were interposed between the lines above:
"You must see to it on the day as if it were your own."
"You can rely upon me."
"...the Colonel's manner has been just a trifle cavalier to me." (11)
Sherlock Holmes does not suffer slights happily, and sees no need to turn the other cheek. When he sees that a client does not have confidence in his deductions, he is often inclined to treat the client somewhat cruelly.
I was about to make some reply in defence [sic] of my friend.... (12)
Holmes sometimes likes to make people underestimate him so that they will be even more amazed when he is proven right. Watson is often in danger of destroying Holmes's ruse, so eager is he to stand up for his friend.
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes. (13)
This "Sherlockism" has been quoted endlessly to indicate a situation where a lack is more significant than a positive action. A recent book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (New York: Doubleday, 2003), by Mark Haddon, concerns an autistic teen who sets out to solve a crime.
The race for the Doncaster Cup in 1826, from William R. Woodard, Cherished Portraits of Thoroughbred Horses (Privately printed, Ernest R. Gee, 1929), facing page 117
A private coach, or "drag," from Hugh McCausland, The English Carriage (London: Batchworth Press, 1948) plate XXV, facing page 112
...Holmes and I were again in the train bound for Winchester, to see the race for the Wessex Cup. (13)
Located about 160 miles east of Tavistock, Winchester is the capital of Hampshire, the county east of Devon. In ancient times it was the capital of Wessex, one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (hence Conan Doyle's fictitious name for the race, the "Wessex Cup," or "Plate").
...we drove in his drag.... (13)
A "drag" was a small, covered coach for private, rather than public, use.
"...his mottled off fore leg." (13)
The "off" leg is the right, while the "near" is the left, since riders customarily mount from the left side of a horse.
"You could have got fifteen to one yesterday, but the price has become shorter and shorter, until you can hardly get three to one now." (13)
"Fifteen to one" is the calculated odds against a horse winning, based on its record and on how heavily people are betting on the horse. If the horse wins, a successful bettor would win fifteen pounds for every pound bet. A horse rated at three to one would be more likely to win than a horse rated at fifteen to one, and thus the payoff would be less.
As the odds drop, Holmes comments that "someone" must know that Silver Blaze is actually in the running. People apparently have been betting large amounts on him, driving down the odds. Some commentators suspect that Holmes himself has placed a bet upon Silver Blaze, and thus stands to profit improperly from his own trick.
Wessex Plate. 50 sovs. each, h ft, with 1,000 sovs. added, for four and five-year olds. Second £300. Third £200. New course (one mile and five furlongs). (13)
Conan Doyle is trying to reproduce the information given in a racing program. The epithet "plate" indicates a race with a fixed prize, rather than one drawn from the entry fee, or "stakes," paid by the owners. He lists the prizes for first, second, and third place, as well as the ages of horses that may compete and the length of the course.
Colonel Ross's Silver Blaze (black cap, red jacket). (13)
These are the colors of the colonel's silks; the jockey wears these colors to represent the King's Pyland stables.
"We scratched our other one...." (13)
The colonel is saying that he took his other horse–Bayard–out of the race.
"Five to four against Silver Blaze!" (13)
These odds indicate that Silver Blaze is favored to win. For every four dollars bet, a successful bettor would win only five–not a very favorable payoff.
"...wash his face and his leg in spirits of wine...." (13)
"Spirits of wine" is brandy, which is distilled from wine.
"Sometimes it is a pulling jockey." (15)
A "pulling jockey" holds his horse back deliberately to make it lose, usually for a bribe.
"...it is possible to make a slight nick upon the tendons of a horse's ham...." (15)
The horse's ham is the thick area just above its knee.
"...we shall be in Victoria in less than ten minutes." (16)
Homes and Watson actually should be returning to London from Winchester via Waterloo Station, not Victoria, which did not serve the southwest of England.

Arthur Conan Doyle Slept Here:
The fate of Undershaw, Conan Doyle's home from 1896 to 1906, is uncertain
Although his mother, Mary Foley Doyle, claimed to trace her lineage back to the royal Plantagenets through her mother's side, and loved to tell her eldest child tales of British history, Conan Doyle wasn't royalty, by any stretch of the imagination. When he became a wealthy man, he had to create his own estate.
The fate of Conan Doyle's home from 1896 to 1906, which he had a minor hand in designing, is still in doubt. After learning in 1893 that his wife Louise ("Tooie") might not live out the year, Conan Doyle first took her to Switzerland, whose dry air and high altitudes were more healthful for consumptives than the damp climate of England. When friends told him about the mild, dry microclimate of Hindhead, Surrey, he decided to build a home there. In 1895, Conan Doyle bought land and chose an architect to build Undershaw. Under her husband's watchful care, Tooie lived another decade, and died at Undershaw in 1906.
While the red brick house is less than an architectural marvel, it bears the imprint of Conan Doyle's character. Doors are doubled-hinged, to accommodate a large man with an energetic stride who couldn't stop to turn a knob or pull a door towards him. Stained-glass panels show the coats of arms of Mary Foley Doyle's venerable family, and doors are monogrammed with Conan Doyle's initials. Conan Doyle wrote both The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Empty House at Undershaw.
A developer first planned to convert the home into 13 apartments, but has compromised at four. Conservationists want the home listed as a Grade I English Heritage Property, which would preserve it as a single-family dwelling with some public access. But there are problems: the house spent many years as a hotel-restaurant, and has been abandoned since 2004. Vandals have left it open to the elements, and, according to recent reports, have destroyed some of the architectural features. The appropriate government agencies are assessing the application for historical preservation now. Undershaw might not survive the wait.

MP Statement on Eurovia's Letter
Andrew Turner, the Island's MP, has finally received a response to his letter of 7th March to Scott Wardrop, the Managing Director of Eurovia, and has made the following statement.
"Given that Mr Wardrop has taken almost three months to reply to my letter and has been chased a number of times, this response is pretty poor.
"What is most troubling is that he thinks Islanders will be fooled by his failure to give straight answers to straight questions. Regarding the proposed asphalt plant on the River Medina – he says on the one hand that Eurovia 'are firmly of the view that it is needed' and then goes on to agree that there is 'no requirement' for it. He doesn't actually say whether the PFI contract can be fulfilled without an asphalt plant on the Island – which is the question he was asked. He has also failed to give clear answers to other points I put to him on behalf of local residents, such as whether he would move staff from elsewhere in the Eurovia Group to fill new local vacancies. However, I am pleased to hear that any additional cost implications relating to asphalt being brought over from the mainland will not fall on taxpayers – either locally or nationally.
"I have said in the past that that new housing should be located on brown-field sites (where development has taken place in the past), before undeveloped land is used. Mr Wardrop says those comments suggest that I should be supporting Eurovia's inappropriate proposals for this sensitive site on the River Medina. He is clearly misrepresenting my comments and my views.
"Mr Wardrop also claims the delay in responding to me is due to the purdah period before the Council elections, when controversial decisions should not be announced by central or local government. He doesn't appear to understand that purdah has nothing to do private companies. His press office even told my staff that MPs are not allowed to raise controversial issues during elections. That is quite obviously wrong!
"I will be responding to this letter in detail when I have had the opportunity to consult residents who have raised these concerns with me. In the meantime, if Mr Wardorp needs asphalt produced on the Island, I urge him to do the sensible thing and start talking to Bardon Vectis who have now received planning permission for a new asphalt plant on their existing site."
Public Meeting on New Schools
Lively Free Schools Meeting
Broadlands jobs safe
Island MP Andrew Turner has received confirmation that the future of jobs and services at Broadlands House are secure following press reports that previously announced new jobs would not now be coming to the Island. Mr Turner said that yesterday's press reports were completely at odds with assurances he had received both from the Minister last summer and the regional manager as recently as November last year. On hearing the reports that plans had changed he contacted the senior management of JobCentre Plus to seek clarification of the position.
Mr Turner said
"I have now received definite confirmation that the plans of Jobcentre Plus have not changed and that they will be keeping a benefit processing centre on the Island as well as establishing one of only two national insurance number processing centres here. I have been told that the additional jobs will arise as their plans are implemented over the coming months."
Mr Turner went on to say
"During our meeting last November Guy Tompkins Jobcentre Plus's regional manager was very complimentary about their workforce on the Island and told me that the positive approach of the staff was one of the reasons why they planned to expand on the Island. I am very glad that they see the sense of bringing work to the Island rather than taking it to the mainland and I will continue to press Government to follow their example.
School Reorganization – Where will £70m come from?
Government have denied promising the IW Council £70 million to pay for reorganizing Island schools from a three- to a two-tier system. And the Island's MP has criticized the 'optimistic noises' on funding given at consultation meetings.
In a Parliamentary Answer to Island MP Andrew Turner it was revealed that there have been absolutely no promises from the Government to provide the estimated £70 million needed for the changes being proposed by council officials. In answering Mr Turner, Stephen Twigg MP, the Minister responsible for school funding, made it clear that the Isle of Wight council has received no assurances that extra money will be made available for the proposed changeover. Mr Turner has criticized the impression given to parents and teachers that obtaining the money needed from central government would not present a problem.
Andrew Turner said,
"During the meeting I attended at Sandown High School it was clearly stated that 'we can get' the £70 million needed to change the system. I was surprised to hear that because that simply isn't the way that Government works. I have asked the Government what promises they have given and they have clearly told me that they have given none. I have now asked the Council what led them to give such a misleading impression to those who went to the trouble of attending the meeting. I have been told that there have been informal meetings with government officials who support these proposals – I am afraid that does not represent government spending commitments. Frankly I am shocked that optimistic noises were made which misled people."
Exam results and education standards on the Island are far below the national average and the recent report costing £100,000 by 4S recommended changing the system but did not provide any evidence that this alone would improve standards. Mr Turner went on to say:
"There may well be arguments for changing the system – but changing the system does not guarantee improving standards; the issues should not be mixed up. Even the advocates of change admit it would cost a fortune. If that money does not come from central government it will have to come from existing council budgets and be topped up by Island council taxpayers.
"It is at very least disingenuous to suggest that finding the money to achieve change is not an important issue that needs to be discussed as part of these proposals. I am worried that the Council seems to believe that informal discussions with civil servants translates into promises of many millions of pounds – sadly that is not the case.
"We need to raise standards but that is best done by the Council accepting that some schools are better than others, publishing that information to parents, governors, teachers and the wider public, and tackling the problems on a school-by-school basis. It is not as glamorous as being the architect of a whole new system, but it is much more likely to give our children the quality schooling they deserve."

School Building (Isle of Wight)
Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what (a) commitments and (b) undertakings she has made to the Isle of Wight Council regarding future capital allocations provided (i) through the Building Schools for the Future programme or (ii) otherwise, whether (A) contingent on or (B) not contingent on school reorganisation. [216280]
Mr. Stephen Twigg: A letter has been sent to all council leaders stating that, for authorities not prioritised in the first three waves of Building Schools for the Future (BSF), including the Isle of Wight, we are determined to make a start on BSF plans between 2005–06 and 2010–11. Our ambition is that in the next full Parliament, subject to future spending decisions, 60 per cent. of all authorities will have started in the BSF programme, or else be given resources to renew at least one secondary school with the greatest need as a school for the future, or as an academy. Each BSF scheme will be judged on its merits, and is not necessarily contingent on school reorganisation. Other capital allocations to the council and its schools were announced on 30 November, and are set out in the following table:
2006–07 14,853
Can we become a Fairtrade Island?
As World Fair Trade Fortnight draws to a close this Sunday the Island's MP Andrew Turner has praised the work of the IW Fairtrade Forum. The Forum is working towards the accolade of Fairtrade Island by building on existing users and suppliers of Fairtrade products to spread the word about the products and the good they do for their producers in the developing world. There are now more than 250 products bearing the distinctive green and blue logo which guarantees a fair deal to producers of such items as coffee, tea, sugar and bananas.
"The Fairtrade product range has expanded over recent years and whilst once they were seen as an expensive alternative they now offer good value and quality. In order to become a Fairtrade Island we need more suppliers of the products so everybody really can make a difference by asking their local coffee shop or convenience store to stock a few items from the range. As the largest constituency in the country the Island gaining this accolade really would make a difference and give a boost to the national campaign. Fairtrade really makes a difference to those communities that need a helping hand – and I know that on the Island we have a really caring and compassionate community".
Jim Curtis the co-ordinator of the IW Fairtrade Forum said
"I very much value Andrew's support for this campaign. In order for the Island to be recognised in this way we need the active support of the Isle of Wight council as well as that of suppliers across the Island. I urge everyone to let their local councillors know that they would be proud to see us become a Fairtrade Island helping less fortunate people to take control of their own lives and build themselves a better future.

Man Made World – Who is economist Andrew Charlton?
In this groundbreaking essay, Charlton discusses the rift that will shape our future: progress versus planet; rich versus poor. In recent times environmentalists have argued with mounting force that the growth of human activity on our planet is unsustainable. We are, they claim, on a collision course with destiny. But, the developing world counters, environmental threats, dire as they may be, are not the only challenges we face. Indeed, these can seem a distant danger compared to the daily tragedies of life in slums and villages.
Across the globe, economists and environmentalists vie over who has the right response to climate change, population growth and food scarcity. In Australia, this battle has plunged our politics into one of its most tumultuous periods. In Man-Made WorldCharlton evaluates some of the proposed solutions –renewable and nuclear energy, organic and genetically modified food – and argues that our descendants will only thank us if we find a way to preserve both the natural world and human progress.

Q: What was the funniest recognition you've ever received?
A: The funniest recognition I've received was from a participant in one of my classes. To thank me, she gave me a pair of clapping hands so I could give myself applause or a pat on the back whenever I needed one.
Q: What was the happiest moment at work?
A: My happiest moment at work came when a lady in my class stood up at her graduation and said that her husband had taken my class on crucial conversations the year before and that it changed his life so profoundly that it healed their marriage and brought their family closer together than ever before. It's for that reason that she couldn't wait to take the class for herself so she could experience the same change he did. I was completely speechless, embarrassed, and at the same time happier and more satisfied than I can remember ever being at work. It increased my passion for what I do tenfold.
Q: What kind of fun activities does your company participate in?
A: We engage in all kinds of fun activities at work, like potlucks, going out to lunch together, playing video games, celebrating birthdays and special occasions, and more.

The Pulumi Python SDK ( pulumi ) is the core package used when writing Pulumi programs in Python. It contains everything that you'll need in order to interact with Pulumi resource providers and express infrastructure using Python code. Pulumi resource providers all depend on this library and express their resources in terms of the types defined in this module.
Note: The Pulumi Python SDK requires Python version 3.6 or greater. Please see the Python getting started documentation for details on how to get started with Python.
Like most languages usable with Pulumi, Pulumi represents cloud resources as classes and Python programs can instantiate those classes. All classes that can be instantiated to produce actual resources derive from the pulumi.Resource class.
A class that derives from pulumi.Resource will, when instantiated, communicate with the Pulumi Engine and record that a piece of infrastructure that the instantiated class represents should be provisioned. All resources whose provisioning is implemented in a resource provider derive from the pulumi.CustomResource class.
It is also possible to write your own resources, written in Python, that are themselves composed of custom resources. Resources written in Python are called "component resources" and they are written by deriving from the pulumi.ComponentResource class.
Finally, Pulumi allows for resource providers to directly project themselves into Python, so that provider instances can be instantiated and used to create other resources. These "provider resources" derive from the pulumi.ProviderResource class.
Resource represents a class whose CRUD operations are implemented by a provider plugin.
t (str) – The type of this resource.
name (str) – The name of this resource.
custom (bool) – True if this resource is a custom resource.
props (Optional[dict]) – An optional list of input properties to use as inputs for the resource.
opts (Optional[ResourceOptions]) – Optional set of pulumi.ResourceOptions to use for this resource.
The stable, logical URN used to distinctly address a resource, both before and after deployments.
Fetches the provider for the given module member, if this resource has been provided a specific provider for the given module member.
Returns None if no provider was provided.
module_member (str) – The requested module member.
The ProviderResource associated with the given module member, or None if one does not exist.
CustomResource is a resource whose create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations are managed by performing external operations on some physical entity. The engine understands how to diff and perform partial updates of them, and these CRUD operations are implemented in a dynamically loaded plugin for the defining package.
ComponentResource is a resource that aggregates one or more other child resources into a higher level abstraction. The component itself is a resource, but does not require custom CRUD operations for provisioning.
Register synthetic outputs that a component has initialized, usually by allocating other child sub-resources and propagating their resulting property values.
output (dict) – A dictionary of outputs to associate with this resource.
ProviderResource is a resource that implements CRUD operations for other custom resources. These resources are managed similarly to other resources, including the usual diffing and update semantics.
pkg (str) – The package type of this provider resource.
ResourceOptions is a bag of optional settings that control a resource's behavior.
parent (Optional[Resource]) – If provided, the currently-constructing resource should be the child of the provided parent resource.
depends_on (Optional[List[Resource]]) – If provided, the currently-constructing resource depends on the provided list of resources.
protect (Optional[bool]) – If provided and True, this resource is not allowed to be deleted.
provider (Optional[ProviderResource]) – An optional provider to use for this resource's CRUD operations. If no provider is supplied, the default provider for the resource's package will be used. The default provider is pulled from the parent's provider bag.
delete_before_replace (Optional[bool]) – If provided and True, this resource must be deleted before it is replaced.
If provided, the currently-constructing resource should be the child of the provided parent resource.
If provided, the currently-constructing resource depends on the provided list of resources.
If provided and True, this resource is not allowed to be deleted.
An optional provider to use for this resource's CRUD operations. If no provider is supplied, the default provider for the resource's package will be used. The default provider is pulled from the parent's provider bag (see also ResourceOptions.providers).
If provided and True, this resource must be deleted before it is replaced.
InvokeOptions is a bag of options that control the behavior of a call to runtime.invoke.
parent (Optional[Resource]) – An optional parent to use for default options for this invoke (e.g. the default provider to use).
provider (Optional[ProviderResource]) – An optional provider to use for this invocation. If no provider is supplied, the default provider for the invoked function's package will be used.
An optional parent to use for default options for this invoke (e.g. the default provider to use).
An optional provider to use for this invocation. If no provider is supplied, the default provider for the invoked function's package will be used.
Can be used for terminating a program abruptly, but resulting in a clean exit rather than the usual verbose unhandled error logic which emits the source program text and complete stack trace.
Pulumi programs also have the ability to query the current project and stack, as well as whether or not the current run of the program is a preview or not.
Config is a bag of related configuration state. Each bag contains any number of configuration variables, indexed by simple keys, and each has a name that uniquely identifies it; two bags with different names do not share values for variables that otherwise share the same key. For example, a bag whose name is pulumi:foo, with keys a, b, and c, is entirely separate from a bag whose name is pulumi:bar with the same simple key names. Each key has a fully qualified names, such as pulumi:foo:a, …, and pulumi:bar:a, respectively.
name (str) – The configuration bag's logical name that uniquely identifies it. The default is the name of the current project.
The configuration bag's logical name that uniquely identifies it. The default is the name of the current project.
Returns an optional configuration value by its key, or None if it doesn't exist.
key (str) – The requested configuration key.
The configuration key's value, or None if one does not exist.
Returns an optional configuration value, as a bool, by its key, or None if it doesn't exist. If the configuration value isn't a legal boolean, this function will throw an error.
ConfigTypeError – The configuration value existed but couldn't be coerced to bool.
Returns an optional configuration value, as an int, by its key, or None if it doesn't exist. If the configuration value isn't a legal int, this function will throw an error.
ConfigTypeError – The configuration value existed but couldn't be coerced to int.
Returns an optional configuration value, as a float, by its key, or None if it doesn't exist. If the configuration value isn't a legal float, this function will throw an error.
ConfigTypeError – The configuration value existed but couldn't be coerced to float.
Returns a configuration value by its given key. If it doesn't exist, an error is thrown.
ConfigMissingError – The configuration value did not exist.
Returns a configuration value, as a bool, by its given key. If it doesn't exist, or the configuration value is not a legal bool, an error is thrown.
Returns a configuration value, as an int, by its given key. If it doesn't exist, or the configuration value is not a legal int, an error is thrown.
Returns a configuration value, as a float, by its given key. If it doesn't exist, or the configuration value is not a legal number, an error is thrown.
Turns a simple configuration key into a fully resolved one, by prepending the bag's name.
key (str) – The name of the configuration key.
The name of the configuration key, prefixed with the bag's name.
Indicates a configuration value is missing.
The name of the missing configuration key.
Indicates a configuration value is of the wrong type.
The name of the key whose value was ill-typed.
The expected type of this value.
Returns the current project name.
Returns the current stack name.
Returns whether or not we are currently doing a preview.
Like other languages in the Pulumi ecosystem, all Resources in Python have two kinds of properties: inputs and outputs. Inputs are specified as arguments to resource constructors, to be used as inputs to the resource itself. Outputs are returned as properties on the instantiated resource object. Outputs are similar to futures in that they are resolved asynchronously, but they also contain information about the dependency graph of resources within your program.
Pulumi does not offer direct access to the values contained within Outputs. Instead, you must use the apply function on the Output class in order to observe the value of an output. See the documentation for more details on this part of the Pulumi programming model.
Output helps encode the relationship between Resources in a Pulumi application. Specifically an Output holds onto a piece of Data and the Resource it was generated from. An Output value can then be provided when constructing new Resources, allowing that new Resource to know both the value as well as the Resource the value came from. This allows for a precise 'Resource dependency graph' to be created, which properly tracks the relationship between resources.
Syntax sugar for looking up attributes dynamically off of outputs.
key (Any) – Key for the attribute dictionary.
An Output of this Output's underlying value, keyed with the given key as if it were a dictionary.
Syntax sugar for retrieving attributes off of outputs.
item (str) – An attribute name.
An Output of this Output's underlying value's property with the given name.
Transforms the data of the output with the provided func. The result remains a Output so that dependent resources can be properly tracked.
'func' is not allowed to make resources.
This function will be called during execution of a 'pulumi update' request. It may not run during 'pulumi preview' (as the values of resources are of course may not be known then).
func (Callable[[T],Input[U]]) – A function that will, given this Output's value, transform the value to an Input of some kind, where an Input is either a prompt value, a Future, or another Output of the given type.
A transformed Output obtained from running the transformation function on this Output's value.
Takes an Input value and produces an Output value from it, deeply unwrapping nested Input values as necessary given the type.
val (Input[T]) – An Input to be converted to an Output.
A deeply-unwrapped Output that is guaranteed to not contain any Input values.
Produces an Output of Lists from a List of Inputs.
This function can be used to combine multiple, separate Inputs into a single Output which can then be used as the target of apply. Resource dependencies are preserved in the returned Output.
args (List[Input[T]]) – A list of Inputs to convert.
An output of lists, converted from an Input to prompt values.
The Pulumi SDK contains a few helper functions for logging to the console. Messages logged using these functions are sent directly to the Pulumi Engine and rendered with the rest of the CLI output.
Logs a message to the Pulumi CLI's debug channel, associating it with a resource and stream_id if provided.
msg (str) – The message to send to the Pulumi CLI.
resource (Optional[Resource]) – If provided, associate this message with the given resource in the Pulumi CLI.
stream_id (Optional[int]) – If provided, associate this message with a stream of other messages.
Logs a message to the Pulumi CLI's info channel, associating it with a resource and stream_id if provided.
Logs a message to the Pulumi CLI's warning channel, associating it with a resource and stream_id if provided.
Logs a message to the Pulumi CLI's error channel, associating it with a resource and stream_id if provided.
Exports a named stack output.
name (str) – The name to assign to this output.
value (Any) – The value of this output.

Q: Tutorial for building single exe for Qt So I want to find a tutorial that teach how to build single EXE using Qt.
i use mingw and windeployqt for deployment (still some dll is missing and i manually copy them) then it works.
But i do not understand the steps in https://wiki.qt.io/Build_Standalone_Qt_Application_for_Windows
It indicated to build static version of Qt.
> configure -static -release -no-exceptions
> mingw32-make sub-src

But where do i type this at? When I open Cmd prompt and type it immediately, it just say "configure" is not recognized as an internal or external command....
Does this mean I need to close Qt Creator, build a "static" version of Qt Creator and then run a static version of Qt Creator? It is very confusing for me. Apologies cause I am new to this.

A: Make sure you have mingw, perl and python in your path. Download Qt source zip of your choice from here. Extract zip to the file system, e.g. C:\src\
Now you open a command prompt, go into the Qt source root and run configure and make from there.
cd C:\src\qt-<something>

A: You can use http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php to create an installer and use qt dll instead to build an exe with qt static libraries.

Capt EWD Bell and Sgt Luke O'Connor won VCs at The Alma, Crimea, 1854
Sgt Luke O'Connor, although badly wounded, took up the Regimental Colour and, dashing forward planted it on the Redoubt above the Alma River. When the Russians left the Redoubt Captain Bell, seeing that one of the guns was being withdrawn more slowly than the rest, captured it single-handed and galloped to the rear. Later, he led the 23rd out of the battle. Captain Bell and Sgt O'Connor received VCs, and the latter was commissioned in the field.
20th September 1854 – ON THIS DAY IN RWF HISTORY - Crimea
Battle of the Alma, 1854
The progress of the Allied advance on Sevastopol in the Russian Crimea, was halted by the Russian forces drawn up on hills across the river Alma. In the attack on the Great Redoubt the ensign carrying the Regimental Colour was killed, followed by Lieut-Col Chester, the CO, who had seized it. Eventually the Great Redoubt was taken but a counter-attack forced a withdrawal. Reinforced, it was again taken, but at great cost, the Regiment suffering over 200 casualties.
14th SEPTEMBER 1854 - ON THIS DAY IN RWF HISTORY - CRIMEA
The 1st Battalion lands on the Crimea.
The Royal Welch were one of the first units to land in the Crimea as part of a joint British and French force. Major Daniel Lysons, RWF, claimed to be the first British soldier to have set foot on the Crimea following a hotly contested row to the shore. Lyons went on to command the Regiment in the Crimea following the death of Lieutenant Harry Chester the much loved and respected commanding officer at the Battle of The Alma on the 20th of September 1854. Daniel Lysons wrote an account of his experiences in his book "The Crimea First to Last".
LYSONS, Daniel�Born on 1 August 1816 at Rodmarton, Gloucestershire, he was the second son of Rev. Daniel Lysons MA FRS, of Hempsted Court, Gloucestershire, and his second wife Josepha Catherine, daughter of John Gilbert Cooper Esq. of Thurgarton Priory, Nottinghamshire. He was educated at the Reverend Harvey Myatt's School at Bath, and Shrewsbury School (1829–32), after which he was in Nîmes for two years (1832–3) learning French.
He purchased his commission as ensign in the 1st (The Royal) Regiment of Foot on 26 December 1834 and as lieutenant 23 August 1837. He served with his regiment in Canada during the insurrection, including the actions of St. Denis (November 1837), where he was honourably mentioned in Colonel Gore's despatches, and of Eustache. He was also mentioned in despatches and in General Orders on the occasion of the wreck of the transport Premier on 4 November 1843 and was promoted captain in the 3rd West India Regiment on 29 December the same year.
He transferred to RWF and purchased his majority on 3 August 1849. The first British soldier to land in the Crimea, he was present at the battle of the Alma where he acted as Assistant Adjutant General, 2nd Division, a service for which Lord Raglan, in his despatch of 28 September 1854, reported that 'Lieutenant-General Sir de Lacy Evans eulogises the conduct of Major Lysons'. Promoted lieutenant-colonel on 21 September 1854 he took command of RWF in succession to Lieutenant-Colonel H. Chester who had been killed in action (q.v.). He was also present at the battle of Inkerman, the minor affairs of Bulganac,
Kirby update by RJMS - May 2011 Edn
McKenzie's Farm and the capture of Balaclava. Present during the whole of the siege of Sebastopol, he led the main column of the attack on the Redan by the Light Division on 18 June 1855, commanding the 1st Brigade of the Light Division in the later part of the action when he was severely wounded in the leg and was mentioned in despatches. At the final assault on the Redan on 8 September 1855 he was severely wounded when a ball lodged in his thigh.
Appointed CB on 5 July and promoted brevet colonel on 17 July 1855, he was given command of 2nd Brigade, Light Division from October 1855 until the end of the war in the Crimea. He received the Crimea medal with the clasps 'Alma', 'Inkermann' and 'Sebastopol'; The Turkish Crimea medal and the Sardinian medal 'Al Valore Militare' and was appointed an officer of the Legion of Honour 4th Class and to the 3rd Class of the Turkish Order of Medjidie.
After the Crimean War he was sent to Canada to organise the Militia of Canada at the Trent affair in December 1861. His subsequent promotions and appointments were DQMG in Canada 1862-67; major-general 6 March 1868 commanding the Brigade in Malta; Brigade Commander at Aldershot 1869-1872 and Northern Division 1872-74; QMG to the Forces 1876–80; promoted lieutenant-general 2 June 1877 and elevated to KCB. He was appointed colonel 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot on 28 August 1878. Promoted General on 14 July 1879 he commanded the Aldershot Division from 1880-83. On 26 June 1881 he was appointed Hon. colonel 1st (Volunteer) Bn. The Royal Fusiliers (10th Middlesex), elevated to GCB in 1886 and on 26 March 1890 was appointed Constable of the Tower of London.
He was responsible for the publication of various drill books and wrote The Crimean War From First to Last, John Murray (1895) and Early Reminiscences, John Murray (1896). He married first Harriet Sophia, daughter of Charles Bridges of Overton in 1856 and
second Anna Sophia Biscoe daughter of Rev. Robert Tritton of Morden, Surrey, in 1865. His second son, Lieutenant Henry Lysons, was awarded the Victoria Cross in the Zulu War.
Lieutenant-General Sir Daniel Lysons GCB died on 29 January 1898 at 22 Warwick Square, London. The Times of 3 February 1898 carries an account of his funeral on 2 February at Rodmarton, and simultaneous memorial service, at which the Queen was represented, in St Gabriel's Church, Warwick Square, London SW. A list of those who attended, which included three field marshals, four admirals and eighteen generals, is in the Parish Magazine.
The Oxford DNB has a detailed biography, including many sources and a list of portraits. The National Portrait Gallery has two likenesses of him, one of which is a chromolithograph (1878) by Sir Leslie Ward (the caricaturist Spy).

8th September 1855 ON THIS DAY IN RWF HISTORY
Assault on the Redan, Sevastopol, Crimea, Russia, 1855
The 23rd took part in the terrible assault on that part of the stronghold called the Redan. The Russian fire was so intense that 14 of the 18 officers became casualties as they led their men across
285 yards of open ground to the objective. As no second line reinforced it the Regiment had to fall back. The Russians, however, had had enough and they abandoned it.
Porteous riots in Edinburgh, 1736
The 23rd was in Edinburgh when, on 15 April, Captain Porteous, commander of the City Guard, ordered his men to fire on a mob, killing or wounding 17 persons. He was found guilty of murder but reprieved by the Queen. On 7 September a mob seized Porteous from prison and hanged him. The city magistrates called for assistance from the 23rd, which was deployed throughout the city.

MC Citation :- For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at a critical moment when hostile shell fire was constantly concentrated upon his platoon, who were working in a trench. He steadied and collected his men, going up and down the trench for the purpose, and showing utter disregard of his own safety while doing so. He led them then from the shelled area, afterwards taking them back to their work and completing it with success before day-light. Throughout the operation he has displayed coolness and untiring energy when employed on similar work.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies indicated that ischemic lesion volume might be a useful surrogate marker for functional outcome in ischemic stroke but should be considered in the context of lesion location. In contrast to previous studies using the ROI approach, which has several drawbacks, the present study aimed to measure the impact of ischemic lesion location on functional outcome using a more precise voxelwise approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Datasets of patients with acute ischemic strokes from the Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) were used. Primary outcome was functional outcome as assessed by the modified Rankin Scale 3 months after stroke. Ischemic lesion volume was determined on CT scans 3–9 days after stroke. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping techniques, including covariates that are known to be associated with functional outcome, were used to determine the impact of ischemic lesion location for outcome.
RESULTS: Of the 500 patients in the MR CLEAN trial, 216 were included for analysis. The mean age was 63 years. Lesion-symptom mapping with inclusion of covariates revealed that especially left-hemispheric lesions in the deep periventricular white matter and adjacent internal capsule showed a great influence on functional outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms that infarct location has an important impact on functional outcome of patients with stroke and should be considered in prediction models. After we adjusted for covariates, the left-hemispheric corticosubcortical fiber tracts seemed to be of higher functional importance compared with cortical lesions.
