Sheer window scarves are transparent, thin panels of fabric that decorate the top edge of windows. Often a window scarf will be used to cover the drapery hardware, curtain rods or the top of the window. The scarf is designed to be fixed in place and usually it is draped into swags. Swags are curved drapings that can be overlapped or applied singly or side by side. The swag shape softens the look of the window and will make the drapery look more casual and relaxed. The sides of scarves often hang down on each side of the window, adding color, texture and movement along the sides of the heavier drapes.
Measure the length of your curtain rod. Cut 1/4-inch-thick foam tape to this length; use white for light-colored scarves and black for dark-colored scarves. Apply the tape to the back side of the curtain rod, facing the wall.
Select a window scarf that is 6 yards long. For symmetrical placement, divide the scarf in half and place your hands an even distance from the center. Lift the scarf over the curtain rod finials so that the long ends drape down the back toward the floor.
Adjust the drape or swag at the center of the scarf. Create even folds by following the fabric from side to side and folding it with your fingers. Position these folds over the rod and pin the fold to hold it in position by pinning into the foam tape. Create the next fold on each side and continue pinning until the sway is draped how you want it.
Create a rosette tie by bringing the loose end of the scarf to the front, up and over the fabric near the finial. Thread the end between the fabric and rod and tie a simple knot. Measure 6 inches from the knot and make a fold so that the end of the scarf is toward the knot. Wrap the loose end around the folded fabric twice and then thread the end through the loop of the fold. Pull the loose end toward the rod and adjust to make a rosette.
Thread the loose end through the simple knot and pull the scarf fabric down to fall naturally. Repeat for both sides. Add security for slippery fabrics by using rubber bands and safety pins to help secure the fabric.
Overlap two different color scarves using the same technique to attach the smaller swags to the curtain rod. Weave the two scarves together alternating swag colors along the rod. Using the pin and tape system will keep the swags the right shape and size.

KATE Middleton is a huge fan of a high-street maternity brand – will Meghan follow in her footsteps?
Just days after Princess Eugenie's wedding, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they were expecting their first child.
On the other hand, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton has recently returned to her royal duties after giving birth to her third baby with husband Prince William.
Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are down under on their tour of Australia, Meghan is already taking tips from her sister in law, including recycling outfits and wearing wedges instead of heels – even if The Queen does not approve.
But with Meghan's baby bump beginning to show, will she take inspiration from Kate's favourite maternity brand?
During her pregnancy, Kate Middleton regularly wore dresses by maternity brand Séraphine.
Séraphine is a London-based maternity brand which, according to its website, hopes to "create fashionable clothes that you would want to wear even if you weren't pregnant."
The Duchess of Cambridge wore the brand while pregnant with both Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who was branded the 'cutest royal ever' after her adorable actions at Princess Eugenie's wedding.
Kate's favourites from the brand include an £109 A-line dress in royal blue, as well as a florrie-print woven dress which is currently on sale for £45.
Kate's sister Pippa Middleton also wore the maternity brand during her pregnancy, opting for a red summer dress and trainers for a quick trip to Waitrose over the summer.
Other famous mums-to-be have also worn outfits by Séraphine, including Shakira, Kimberley Walsh, Kate Hudson, Gwen Stefani and Jessica Alba.
Séraphine also launched a line of baby clothes in 2015 called the Diana Collection in collaboration with the Diana Award – an anti-bullying charity set up in memory of the late Princess of Wales.
If you have a baby on the way, you can find outfits worn by the Duchess of Cambridge both on the Séraphine website and in John Lewis stores across the UK.

Consciousness, Conflict, and Contradiction in the Art of Robert Colescott
After viewing Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott — the artist's most comprehensive retrospective to date — it feels fair to assume that factions of society still aren't ready for Colescott.

CINCINNATI, Ohio—As both a question and metaphor, the condition of double consciousness is profoundly evident in the work of Robert Colescott. At the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) in Cincinnati, a recent exhibition, Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott presents 85 works from the artist's fifty-year career. Visitors familiar with his signature acerbic and satirical tone and the large scale, brightly colored figure paintings of his later career may experience shock upon viewing his earlier and more subtle compositions. The rendering of consciousness, in Colescott's case, is an evolving dilemma, one of risk and contradiction. Art and Race Matters interrogates such duality amid a critical contemporary moment where life and art are inseparable and often, indistinguishable.

Raphaela Platow, the director of the CAC, initially conceived of the Colescott retrospective five years ago. She approached Lowery Stokes Sims, the independent historian, curator, and an associate of Robert Colescott for nearly forty years. As the project developed, Sims commissioned writer and Colescott scholar, Mathew Weseley as her co-curator. Together, they produced the most comprehensive retrospective on Robert Colescott to date, honoring his commitment to challenging social codes and false ideas centered on race, gender, and sexuality.
Dedicated to Colescott's early work, the first section of the exhibition includes a selection of solemn still lives reflecting the precociousness of a young artist, visible in quiet landscapes and impressionistic experiments. After his time in the military, Colescott completed a degree in painting and drawing at UC Berkeley, later spending a year in Paris as an apprentice to Fernand Léger. I was struck by Colescott's earnestness in these works; they presented a more subdued inquiry in relation to the direct, audacious style found in the bulk of his later paintings. These works must not be overlooked, however, particularly for Colescott's version of "Olympia" (c. 1959). In it, the Black servant is modestly drawn, with minimal shape, colors bleeding into the background. Her flowers are bountiful and bright. In the original painting by Édouard Manet, the Black servant looks to Olympia, while in Colescott's version the Black servant looks out of the frame, at us. There seems to be a power he wants to give her, but does not. The oppositional gaze appears as more an implication. Colescott's rendering conveys a palpable shift, where the viewer becomes implicated in the painting; this technique would later become an important component of his work.

The second and third floors of the exhibition display bolder works from the 60s and 70s which the artist is best known for. These make consistent use of scumbling (the application of a thin layer of paint over a painting for color variation) and sit starkly against the crisp and seamless architecture of the Zaha Hadid-designed CAC. These floors host Colescott's reclamation of art historical narratives, familiar stories, and popular personas, such as "Shirley Temple Black and Bill Robinson White" (1980). In the painting, "Knowledge of the Past is the Key to the Future: St. Sebastian" (1986) (part of a series with the same title), we encounter disturbing imagery; its central figure is both Black and white, male and female, with a penis, vagina, and breasts, and a split down the middle, its body punctured by arrows. The distended floating heads of a Black woman and white man rise alongside the figure on either side, conveying a sense of duality and forming the shape of a cross. Here, Colescott's use of distortion is intent on involving and affecting his audience. It is clear that Colescott wasn't interested in creating work where viewers can "see" themselves. Rather, his work was invested in making us "consider" ourselves.

It is important to note that Colescott's work invited resistance and controversy. His misogynistic narratives and use of the female form to talk about race are a distracting misuse of cultural critique. These aspects underscore the complexity of identity, and also demand a readiness to face the uglier realities within the contemporary condition. When questioning the degree to which these transgressive paintings retain their relevance, I was faced with a sense of confrontation, rather than the theme of satire that is often attributed to Colescott's work.
We return to Olympia. The Black woman emerges from the shadows, sans flowers, shapely and peerless, illustrating Colescott's fascination with femininity. But she is not autonomous; white or Black, women negotiate a precarious relationship to power in Colescott's imagination. The "female" often serves as entry point, as in "Big Bathers: Another Judgement" (1984), where the artist's exploration of intersecting notions of race and beauty among women actually serve to privilege the male gaze. In his artist statement for the Roswell Museum and Art Center (included in the CAC exhibition catalogue), Colescott elaborates, "I've never mustached a Mona Lisa, but I have "blacked-faced" a few. Gender, here, seems consequential to him, and black face, or satire more broadly, becomes a technique.
One is reminded of Amiri Baraka's Dutchman, where the white female protagonist Lula enters as temptress, complete with a tantalizing apple and exits without remorse, even after she kills Clay, the black male protagonist. Intersectionality is also at play here; Lula's whiteness makes it possible for her to achieve empathy and gain power despite being a murderer. Multiple and overlapping signifiers of right and wrong, male and female, Black and white converge, confusing traditional delineations. This sense of conflict rears its head in Colescott's use of blackface to further distort and amplify such codes, such as in his humorous "revisionist" painting, "George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware: Page from an American History Textbook"(1975).

Colescott's work presents us with a definitive subversion to conceptions of art as a tool for excavating consciousness, by inadvertently building upon fragmented (and often socially acceptable) ways of discussing race, gender, and sexuality. Unlearning such codes is integral to critically engaging with his work. After viewing the exhibition, it feels fair to assume that factions of society still aren't ready for Colescott.
Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott continues at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) in Cincinnati (44 East 6th Street, Cincinnati, OH) through January 12, 2020. The exhibition was curated by Lowery Stokes Sims and Matthew Weseley.

Your review communicates how rich and layered Robert Colescott's work is. (Don't underestimate the funk.)
Great to see that the CAC organized this! Good for them. Is the show traveling?
Regarding being ready for this work, I've been admiring it since the 70's, introduced while living and painting in the Phoenix area.

Drummer/Composer TREVOR ANDERIES Presents His Debut Recording SHADES OF TRUTH
Drummer/Composer TREVOR ANDERIES
Presents His Debut Recording SHADES OF TRUTH
"At a time when the sounds heard most often are merely stale copies of the past, Shades of Truth by talented composer/drummer Trevor Anderies is truly a welcome breeze of fresh air. It's young musicians like Trevor and his brilliant ensemble, who are bringing forth the highly creative, exciting and innovative improvisations of the 21st century. This outstanding project proves that modern American music, is absolutely in great hands."
- Legendary saxophonist/multi-reedist Bennie Maupin
Click here to check out The Trevor Anderies Ensemble Performing "Thunder": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ejAK7IH0_I
Shades of Truth (available on May 21, 2013), the debut album from L.A. based drummer/composer Trevor Anderies is a reflection of this artist's musical and spiritual journeys. In bringing together his closest colleagues, a deep sense of trust and comfort is created while they weave through each of these nine unique compositions. This album purposefully and naturally blurs lines of genre, taking influence from avant-garde, hard-bop, classical, soul, and the blues, seeking to create an exciting sound all its own. Producing a deep sense of spirituality, the music gives listeners an honest look into an artist whose main intention is to use music as a healing force, and to encourage listeners to reach deeper into their own lives to find the hidden gems within themselves. Shades of Truth promises to introduce drummer/composer Trevor Anderies as an exceptional drummer and composer who will be on our radar for years to come.
On Shades of Truth Anderies surrounds himself with musicians who are collaborators, bandmates (in the band Slumgum), players that are near and dear to his musical heart, and artists that have admirable resumes: vocalist Dwight Trible (Pharaoh Sanders, Billy Higgins, Horace Tapscott's Pan African Peoples' Arkestra, Charles Lloyd, Billy Childs, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Garrett, Steve Turre, Harold Land, Harry Belafonte, Patrice Rushen, Babatunde Lea, Ernie Watts, Kahlil El Zabar, as well as contemporary soul artists like LA Reid and DJ Rogers); tenor saxophonist Jonathan Armstrong (Slumgum, Vinny Golia, Bennie Maupin, Butch Morris, Hugh Ragin); alto saxophonist and flutist Gavin Templeton (Vinny Golia, Charlie Haden, Joshua White, Nels Cline, Joe La Barbera, Larry Koonse, Darek Oles, Butch Morris, Peter Epstein, daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra, The Temptations, Wayne Newton); bass clarinetist Brian Walsh (Peter Maxwell Davies, Bobby Bradford, Nels Cline, Larry Koonse, Muhal Richard Abrams, the Henry Mancini Orchestra, the Riverside Philharmonic); pianist Rory Cowal (Slumgum, Hugh Ragin, Bennie Maupin, Butch Morris, Premasoul); trumpeter Daniel Rosenboom (Vinny Golia, Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, Southwest Chamber Music, Long Beach Opera, Wadada Leo Smith, Miroslav Tadic, Markus Stockhausen); and bassist David Tranchina (Slumgum, Hugh Ragin, Bennie Maupin, Nate Wood, Bobby Watson, Mike Barone, Butch Morris, Vinny Golia, Larry Koonse, Joe La Barbera).
About the music on Shades of Truth
(for full length descriptions please contact Red Cat Publicity):
Attainment - while composing this piece Anderies was contemplating accomplishment and the beauty of life's circular motion: "when we achieve one thing, doors are opened that lead to new struggle. After struggling we attain something, each time becoming a little wiser," he explained.
Shades of Truth - "I wrote this song specifically for my collaboration with Dwight Trible on the album. The vibe and lyrics of the piece take on the spirit and mission I sense when I listen to Dwight. The lyrics speak to my belief in both a seeking spirit as well as self empowerment as a means of being true to oneself", said Anderies.
Thunder - This piece dates back to a time when Anderies' writing was influenced by the music of John and Alice Coltrane, as well as Pharaoh Sanders. Recently, when the drummer reconnected with this music, his decision to write lyrics for the piece revealed a new meaning. He explains, "as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with the sound and energy of thunder. I remember one storm in particular on a day when I was back home in Denver visiting my old drum teacher. We sat outside watching the lightning and feeling the roar of the thunder as it vibrated through our beings, and I was fascinated by its power, strength, confidence, and grace. Many cultures recognize this energy in their folklore; the Greeks worship Thor while the Yoruba praise Shango. Though we cannot become thunder, we can access the energy and spirit it represents in our own lives."
Vermillion - Inspired byAnderies' love of Beethoven's string quartets. While all of the tracks on the album include members of the collaborative group Slumgum, this is the only piece that features the band itself.
Three-Four vs. Six-Eight Four-Four Ways - This piece was written by pianist Hasaan Ibn Ali and recorded in 1964 with Art Davis and Max Roach. The album, made up entirely of unique compositions by Hasaan, is the only recorded documentation of a brilliant artist who fell into obscurity. "Needless to say this record has been very influential on my development and I was just dying to play some music from it!"
Aren't You So Lovely - "This composition has personal meaning for me. Written no more than two weeks before the recording date, it coincided with a lack of faith and confidence in myself, followed by the realization that I was bigger than the problems I was facing. At the time, I had put my energy into getting to know someone who eventually pushed me away. When I wrote this song I was toying with the way my emotions took turns between "Aren't you so Lovely" (with the perspective of an admirer) and "Aren't you so Lovely?" (having a hint of sarcasm). The music took on a much deeper meaning when on my first performance of the piece I accidentally called it "Aren't You So Lonely." Fortunately for me, a very special person (my current girlfriend) must have caught on to that. I couldn't be happier that she did. The tune has now returned to "Aren't You So Lovely", from the perspective of a happy admirer."
Clear Eyes of the Moon - This title, and some of the lyrics, were taken from a poem by the Buddhist philosopher, Daisaku Ikeda, which reflects on the symbiosis of the vastness of the universe with the vastness of our lives.
Lenny - Originally written for a collaboration that Slumgum did with a chamber ensemble. The lyrics apply to the idea of loss, expressing the idea of life and death, and the mystery, confusion, and expansiveness that they represent.
Wild Ox Moan - "This resonates with me in a different way each time I hear it. It was written by Vera Hall and recorded for the Library of Congress in the 1930s. Hall was the wife of a coal miner in Alabama, and eventually gained national exposure with the help of Alan Lomax. To me, the song speaks to the humanity in all of us. We all need each other to live in this world; the relationships and the bonds of trust we cultivate in our daily lives ultimately lay the foundations for the types of lives we choose to live."
More on Trevor Anderies: Resolve, innovation and passion define Anderies' musical direction. Based in Los Angeles, he performs locally and on the national scene with many groups including Slumgum, the Walsh Set Trio and the Nigerian Talking Drum ensemble. He received his Bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies at the California Institute of the Arts where he studied drum set with Joe La Barbera and Ewe music from Ghanaian master drummer Alfred Ladzekpo. Among Anderies' other mentors are Paul Romaine, Bennie Maupin, Darek Oles, Alfonso Johnson, and Vinny Golia. He has had the opportunity to perform with a wide array of artists, most notably: Dwight Trible, Bennie Maupin, Ron Miles, Larry Coryell, Slumgum, Darek Oles, Ron Miles, Greg Gisbert, Nestor Torres, Eric Gunnison, Hugh Ragin, Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, Vinny Golia, Francis Awe, Alfred Ladzekpo, and others.
Trevor was selected to participate in the 17th annual IASJ conference in Siena, Italy where students and teachers from twenty-six countries performed original material. Along with his band Slumgum he was accepted into the JAS (Jazz Aspen Snowmass) Academy summer program led by bassist Christian McBride. He was also chosen to play Ewe drums in Sandeep Bhagwati's interdisciplinary work, "Vineland Stelae," a performance that gathered together some of the greatest musicians from around the world.
Trevor was on the JAS academy faculty for two years. He shares his love of music through private lessons, teaching in public schools and offering clinics both individually and with his group Slumgum at many elementary, middle and high schools as well as universities throughout the country.

Captain William Leefe Robinson, V.C.
William Leefe Robinson the youngest of seven children, born at Tollidetta, South Coory, in Southern India on the 14th July 1895, son of Horace Robinson who had a coffee estate of Kaima Betta, in Pollibetta. His grandson of William Braham Robinson, R.N., Chief Naval Constructor at Portsmouth Dockyard.
He enjoyed all the advantages that come to the seventh child of a close knit happy family. No doubt indulged a little by his parents, and egged on by adoring and delighted elder sisters, William's early years were full of fun. "He was always up to jokes and at lessons asking our governess the most awkward questions, especially scripture! He and his brother Harold were up to pranks in every way." Education was patchy, and clearly came a long way behind all other pursuits.
Early schooling included a year at the Dragon School, Oxford between 1901-1903, and four years at the Bishop Cotton School in Bangalore, before serious studies were commenced at St. Bees College, Cumbria, in September 1909. In a letter to his father he said "I find the lessons a little hard, but Harold can do them alright and is third to the top of the form" (Harold was his elder brother).
There are many references to academic failures, and only a few references to success. This clearly bothered William sometimes, in a note to his mother he said;
"I often wonder if I will make a mess of my life�in the way of failing exams I mean�but you mustn't be too hard on me if I do old mother dear, and remember that I will be competing with boys who will have had 9 and 10 years good sound schooling, and I will have had barely five." No doubt many young men were worrying about their academic performance during 1913. A year later such concerns would be forgotten.
Lieut. W. L. Robinson, V.C.
Outside the classroom William had no such fears. At sports he tried hard, won his house cap for football, played hockey, enjoyed sculling, and seems to have taken every opportunity to get out of doors. A holiday in Russia in 1912 with the Baroness von der Recke was such a success that it was allowed to extend into the first three weeks of the autumn term. Then there were trips to the theatre, boating parties, an ever growing circle of young ladies, and finally, the OTC in which he obtained the rank of Sergeant.
William at last began to plan how he could turn his energies to good use. In January 1913, he wrote to his mother "This is mother dear, my rough plan for the future. These holidays spent at Bournemouth. It wouldn't be very much more expensive would it. Next holidays�Summer�to be spent with Kitty if possible in France, swotting French. I do hope this can be managed. Then nothing particular till about April 1914 when I ought to leave school and have a private coach. I may share one with some other fellow, so as to reduce expenses�for about six months, on and off, with a few holidays now and then. If I am given this chance I somehow � although I know nothing now�feel sure I will pass in the RE's; if I do, well and good if not I think the best plan is for me to try again (f I only just failed), or (if I passed badly in maths) to try Sandhurst, and get, if I can, into the Indian army, then, if I don't find the Indian climate agrees with me, I could either get into the English army, or if luck smiled upon me, and I made a few influential friends, I would go�or have a good try to go�into the Egyptian army."
The letter breathes with enthusiasm. With all the confidence of untried youth, William was planning his own destiny.
The story of William Leefe Robinson (1914-18)
As 1914 approached, the Robinson family was busy planning for a future that never came. Two of the girls married, Grace to her cousin Arthur Linell Robinson, who later worked in West Africa as a mining engineer, and Ruth, who had stayed in India, to John Irwin who ran the Jumboor Coffee estate in North Coorg. Harold passed his final exams and returned to India, to manage a tea estate, while Kitty was tempted to return to Russia where she had so enjoyed her time as a governess with Baroness von der Recke. William applied himself to his self appointed task of entering the army, and succeeded. His last year at St Bees, no longer in the shadow of his elder brother Harold, was probably his best. He was appointed head of Eaglesfield House, and as a Sergeant in the OTC he had his first experience of army life at the large 'camp' which took place at Mytchett in Kent.

In March 1915, Robinson put in for a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps. The fledgling corps needed all the men it could get, and the request was immediately answered. On 29th March 1915 he was posted to No. 4 Squadron at St. Omer, under Major C.A. Loncroft, flying BE2cs in reconnaissance patrols over the German lines, and in the second week of April was made "efficient" and put on full pay. The work was exacting, calling for accuracy, and not without danger. CLICK HERE OR THE IMAGE TO READ MORE
After recovering from his shrapnel wounds and a months leave, Robinson reported at Farnborough on the 29th June 1915. The next day he was making his first flight under instruction. On 18th July he survived his first solo flight. On 28th July he qualified for his Royal Aero Club Certificate No. 1475 in a Maurice Farman. He had had a total of 230 minutes tuition. On 14th August he reported to the Central Flying School at Upavon for a course of advanced instruction. On the 15th September he gained his "wings." CLICK HERE OR THE IMAGE TO READ MORE
On the 2nd February 1916, Robinson was transferred to Sutton's Farm at Hornchurch. Part of 19th Reserve Squadron under Major T. C. Higgins, the 'station' was in reality a field. Under Major Higgins, the Home Defence Squadrons were gradually being organised. From the humble beginnings of "two machines kept in tents" 19 Squadron, later 39 Squadron, was to grow to 18 aircraft, in three flights. By July 1916, the squadron, under Major A. H. Morton, was made up of "A" flight under Captain L. S. Ross at Hounslow, "B" flight at Sutton's Farm under Robinson, and "C" flight at Hainault Farm under 2nd Lieutenant A. de B. Brandon. Wooden hangers replaced the tents. The BE2cs were fitted out with more useful night flying aids.
On the afternoon of the 2nd September 1916, sixteen airships, twelve from the German Naval Airship Division and four from the Army Division, set out for England on what was to be the biggest air raid of the war. The vessels were carrying a total load of 32 tons of bombs. At approximately 23.00 hours the Home Defence squadrons were put on alert. Radio messages from the airships had been intercepted, and a welcoming party was prepared. Half an hour later SL11 was wreaking destruction over North London. Robinson attracted by the commotion over Ponder's End and Enfield Highway, headed for what he presumed must be another airship, the SL11. Robinson flew alongside and riddled its entire length with bullets.
For shooting down the SL11 airship, Robinson now the most famous pilot in the country could not go without official recognition for long. On Monday the 4th September 1916, Lieutenant General Henderson
recommend Lieut. W. L. Robinson for the Victoria Cross for the most conspicuous gallantry displayed in this successful attack. On the 5th September 1916, the London Gazette announced the award. The investiture at Windsor Castle on Friday 9th September 1916 was an occasion for more crowds. Though he arrived late, Robinson found hundreds of people waiting to catch a glimpse of him entering and leaving the castle. He would have to face many such crowds in the months ahead.
Robinson was not experienced in the new fighter tactics being evolved over the Western Front at this time and was totally unprepared for a clash with Germany's most famous and successful flying ace the "Red Baron". On the 5th April 1917, Robinson's plane was brought down near Mericourt, and both he and his observer Lieut. Edward Warburton were immediately captured. They were held for a few days in Karlsruhe, and then transferred to the prisoner-of-war camp in Freiberg-in-Breisgau. Robinson made several attempts to escape but without success. After four attempts in as many months, Robinson's reputation as a troublesome charge was growing. After several camps he ended up at Holzminden.
Robinson survived the war, but was weakened by this treatment in the POW camps. He returned to England on 14th December 1918, a sick man. He was given two months leave, and planned to spend Christmas with some friends the Cliftons at Harold Weald in Middlesex. It was there that he contracted influenza. His health failed rapidly. His sister Kitty, now Baroness Heyking, and his patient fianc� Joan, nursed him as best they could but he no longer had the strength to fight his illness. He died on 31th December 1918. England mourned the passing of one of the war's most popular heroes and hundreds attended the funeral which took place at Harrow Weald on Friday 3rd January 1919.
The procession set out from Lavender Cottage, the house where William had spent his last days. A flight of aircraft, led by Brigadier Higgins, the Commander of the South East Home Defence Squadrons during 1916, flew overhead, and a large wreath was dropped.
After the death of Captain William Leefe Robinson, V.C. his Victoria Cross was passed on to his sister Katherine Baroness Heyking and after her death was passed on to her daughter Regina (Mrs. Regina G. Libin). Strangely, his other Great War medals were in the hands of another private individual (Roy Bartlett). On the 22nd November 1988 all the medals and other memorabilia were brought together at Christie's in London. Mrs. Regina G. Libin, Robinson's niece, auctioned all the medals and memorabilia and raised �99,000 on behalf of 'A Medal for Life' a charitable trust to benefit Children suffering from Leukaemia.

Introduction: Currently, there is no widely used method to calibrate in vitro surgical training to the in vivo challenges during surgery on patients. The Pareto-principle states that in any population that contributes to a common effect a relative few account for the bulk of the effect. This is the first study that evaluates the Pareto-principle for establishing content criteria for surgical training.
Method: Verbal corrections of supervising surgeons during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by trainees in the OR were documented and tallied. The corrections were rank-ordered and a cumulative distribution curve was used to calculate which corrections accounted for 80% of the total number of verbal corrections.
Results: The behaviour of 9 surgeons supervising 62 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by 12 novice trainees were analyzed. In total, 235 different verbal corrections were used 1570 times and were categorized into 40 different clusters of aimed changes in novice behaviours. The 32 highest ranking verbal corrections (14%) and the 11 highest ranking clusters (28%) accounted for 80% of the total number of verbal corrections.
Conclusions: The Pareto-principle is a highly potential tool for identifying the few types of novice behaviour that account for the majority of corrections given by supervisors during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on humans. Replicating this study for other surgical procedures could be an opportunity for creating surgical training tools that are more effectively calibrated to on-the-job challenges.

Q: Select rows with logical TRUE using sqldf I am using this:
NewDf <- sqldf("select * from OldDf where Test = 'TRUE'")

but I get zero rows in NewDf. There are definitely rows with TRUE in OldDf (Test column is logical with values: TRUE and FALSE).
Any ideas?
P.S.: This works:
NewDf  <- subset(OldDf, Test != 'FALSE')

A: sqldf stores logicals as 0 and 1 integers, see this example:
# dummy data
OldDf <- head(mtcars[, 1:2])
OldDf$Test <- c(TRUE, FALSE)
OldDf
#                    mpg cyl  Test
# Mazda RX4         21.0   6  TRUE
# Mazda RX4 Wag     21.0   6 FALSE
# Datsun 710        22.8   4  TRUE
# Hornet 4 Drive    21.4   6 FALSE
# Hornet Sportabout 18.7   8  TRUE
# Valiant           18.1   6 FALSE

library(sqldf)

sqldf("select * from OldDf where Test = 1")
#    mpg cyl Test
# 1 21.0   6 TRUE
# 2 22.8   4 TRUE
# 3 18.7   8 TRUE

# This also works, to filter on TRUE
sqldf("select * from OldDf where Test")
#    mpg cyl Test
# 1 21.0   6 TRUE
# 2 22.8   4 TRUE
# 3 18.7   8 TRUE

# To get FALSE
sqldf("select * from OldDf where NOT Test")
#    mpg cyl  Test
# 1 21.0   6 FALSE
# 2 21.4   6 FALSE
# 3 18.1   6 FALSE

In today's connected world, data is the lifeblood of all successful organizations. With data, organizations are able understand their markets, make decisions that help drive increased traction and revenue, and build products that their customers want, purchase and use. Without data, organizations are fumbling in the dark: making wild guesses about what they should or shouldn't do.

Q: If $X$ is uncountable, then the set of bounded injective functions: $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ has empty interior.
If $X$ is uncountable, then the set of bounded injective functions: $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ has empty interior.

Attempt:
In order to prove that the interior is empty, we must show that for any $f$ in the set and for any ball centered on $f$: $B(f;\epsilon)$, one can find a function $g\in B(f;\epsilon)$ such that $g$ is not injective.
Take any $f$ in the set and any $\epsilon>0$. We note that the image of $f$, $f(X)$, is an uncountable subset of $\mathbb{R}$. Therefore, it contains at leats one of its accumulation points, say $f(x_0$), where $x_0\in X$. Hence it follows that $B(f(x_0);\epsilon/2)\cap f(X) \neq \emptyset$. We take $f(y_0)\in B(f(x_0);\epsilon/2)\cap f(X)$ such that $f(x_0)<f(y_0)$, where $y_0\in X.$
Define the following function:
$g:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ by letting: $g(y_0) = f(x_0)$ and $g(x)=f(x)$ elsewhere. Clearly $g$ is not injective and:
$$\mbox{sup}_{x\in X}|f(x)-g(x)| = |f(y_0)-g(y_0)|=|f(y_0)-f(x_0)|<\epsilon,$$
since we chose $f(y_0)\in B(f(x_0);\epsilon/2)$. This shows that $g\in B(f;\epsilon)$, $g$ being not injective.
Is this fine? Any different idea?

A: Your proof is good, though as a comment mentioned you should be clearer what topology (and ambient space) you're using.
Another idea is to define $g(x)=\epsilon\lfloor f(x)/\epsilon\rfloor$ for all $x$. This gives $|f(x)-g(x)|<\epsilon$ for all $x$ as in your argument. But the image of $g$ is finite: it's a subset of $\{-N\epsilon,-(N-1)\epsilon,\dots,N\epsilon\}$ for some bound $N$. So by the pigeonhole principle $g$ cannot be injective.

Congress hands Obama first veto override
By Seung Min Kim
Updated: 09/28/2016 01:45 PM EDT
Congress overwhelmingly rejected President Barack Obama's bid to derail legislation allowing families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, handing him the first veto override of his presidency during his final year in office.
The Senate took the first step Wednesday, voting 97-1 to override Obama's veto of the 9/11 bill. The House quickly followed with a 348-77 vote.
The sweeping popularity of the legislation — known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act — made it basically inevitable that the measure would ultimately become law, despite fierce objections from the Obama administration. The bill, known informally as JASTA, sailed through the Senate with no objections in the spring and was voice-voted in the House earlier this month.
"This legislation is really about pursuing justice," said Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), one of the chief sponsors of the bill, along with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "The families have already suffered too much. They've already suffered untold tragedy, of course, and they deserve to find a path to closure that only justice can provide."
Schumer said "overriding a presidential veto is something we don't take lightly."
"But it was important in this case that the families of the victims of 9/11 be allowed to pursue justice," Schumer added. "Even if that pursuit causes some diplomatic discomforts."
The White House -- which had done little in the way of direct outreach with Capitol Hill, senators said -- unleashed a torrent of anger at Congress, with press secretary Josh Earnest arguing that voting to override was "an abdication of their basic responsibilities as elected representatives of the American people."
"This is the single most embarrassing thing the United States Senate as done possibly since 1983," Earnest said shortly after the Senate vote but before the House followed suit. "To have members of the United States Senate only recently informed of the negative impact of this bill on our servicemembers and our diplomats is in itself embarrassing."
The sole person siding with Obama to sustain the presidential veto was Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), whose vote was seen more as an act of loyalty to the second-term president. In a letter made public Wednesday, Obama disclosed that he and Reid spoke directly about the president's concerns about the bill.
"JASTA sweeps more broadly than 9/11 or Saudi Arabia, and its far-reaching implications would threaten to undermine important principles that protect the United States, including our U.S. Armed Forces and other officials overseas, without making us any safer," Obama wrote to Reid.
Despite how easily the veto is set to be overridden on Capitol Hill, lawmakers are not without a sense of buyer's remorse. As top administration officials began to warn Congress about JASTA's potential ramifications — in particular, that foreign governments would began to retaliate against U.S. officials abroad — a handful of influential senators said they had concerns about the measure, including those who initially co-sponsored the bill.
Over in the House, both the chairman and the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee have circulated letters opposing JASTA.
Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said he would vote to override Obama's veto. But in a floor speech Wednesday, Cardin stressed that his vote was "not without concern" of the "potential unintended consequences" of the legislation.
"There is a concern of unintended consequences, including irresponsible applications to U.S. international activities by other countries," Cardin said. "While I have faith and confidence in the American legal system, the same faith does not necessarily extend to the fairness of the legal systems of other countries that may claim that they are taking similar action against America when they're not."
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) also aired "tremendous concerns" what the legislation would do to the principle of "sovereign immunity" for foreign governments, although he said the 9/11 families "do deserve an outlet … of seeking justice in this particular case."
Though it applies to any act of terrorism on U.S. soil, JASTA has long been viewed as focusing on Saudi Arabia's alleged role on Sept. 11, 2001. The so-called "28 pages," part of a 2002 probe that was declassified in July, included some indications that appear to suggest links between a handful of Saudis in the United States and two of the 9/11 hijackers.
"We are still learning the facts, but there is mounting evidence that the Saudi government – or at least operations and operatives within the Saudi government – aided and abetted one of the most massive crimes in the United States," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Wednesday .
He continued: "In our system, the truth behind those facts deserves to be presented in court – a court of law where fairness and justice will be assured."

I have a client that uses a lot of disconnected log shipping on a few servers. They do this because they want to have a copy of their database that is actually hosted by software vendors for reporting purposes. So, disconnected log shipping it is! We pull down files that have been FTP'd to the corporate FTP site and apply those logs locally and leave the databases in standby so that they can be queried.
Of course every so often there is a glitch and one or all databases can get out of synch pretty easily. When we receive a notification that tlogs have not been restored in a while, the hunt is on to see what happened and get it corrected. Since I have disconnected log shipping set up, I can't get a log shipping report from SSMS that will tell me errors and what was the last log applied. So, I made a query that will give me the most recent file that was restored along with the file name, date, database, etc. I can pull back all databases or by uncommenting a line can filter by a single or multiple databases.
The nice thing about this query is that it can be used for anything (not just log shipped databases) as I show in my results above. So, if you have a dev or staging system and were wondering when a database was last refreshed, you will find it with this query.

All Change At Louis Vuitton
By Ella Alexander 10 January 2014
JULIE DE LIBRAN, one of Louis Vuitton's driving forces, has left her position as womenswear studio director. The brand's new creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, is thought to have hired several new names to the design team, usurping De Libran's position.
De Libran was considered Jacobs's second-in-command, working closely with the designer on Vuitton's womenswear, accessories, campaigns and shows until his departure from the brand last October. It is not known whether she will take another role at the firm or whether she'll join another brand within the LVMH stable, WWD reports. She joined the brand in 2008 as a design director, having previous worked at Prada, Versace and Gianfranco Ferré.
A spokesperson for Vuitton declined to comment.

What's up with Canada, eh?
By Matthew KitchenOct 4, 2012, 10:34 AM EDT
It's been quite a week in Olympics news for Canada, the most polite country on the planet. Here are three major news stories regarding our neighbors up north.
Spracklen fired as coach of Rowing Canada
Mike Spracklen, 75, an English native, was fired Monday by Rowing Canada after coming home with only two medals – both silver – from the London Games. The firing has caused a fracture in the community as significant members of the team have come out on different sides of the firing: Beijing silver medalist Scott Frandsen said he told the CBC that he had problems with the coach, while three-time medalist Silken Laumann said she was disappointed in the firing after Spracklen "once again demonstrated his excellence in producing Olympic champions."
Christine Sinclair faces FIFA disciplinary hearing
Sinclair, captain of the national women's soccer team, will go in front of a FIFA disciplinary committee Friday regarding comments she made to referee in her teams exciting 4-3 loss to the U.S. in the semifinal match in London this summer. She's being charged with "unsporting behavior" after saying she felt cheated when the referee awarded a penalty kick to the U.S. after Canadian goalie Erin McLeod held the ball too long. Team USA's Abby Wambach tied the game on the penalty kick and later won in extra time. Sinclair scored all three Canadian goals in that match.
2010 Vancouver CEO John Furlong accused of abuse by newspaper
Laura Robinson of the Georgia Straight, a Vancouver weekly, alleges that Furlong arrived in Canada from Ireland in 1969, instead of 1974 like his biography says. She also claims to have spoken with eight former students of his who claim they were abused by the now executive chair of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Furlong vehemently denies the allegations, telling the Star Phoenix they are "humiliating and demeaning beyond anything my family and I have ever experienced." He's threatening to sue the Robinson and the paper.
