The Library's website has undergone a redesign and will be launched in the coming weeks.
The redesign is not a major redesign, it is more of a semi-iterative redesign. The primary goal was to make our website responsive (it was rebuilt using Bootstrap 3), and in doing so to keep the main navigation similar as it is now. The library's site is a complicated one, it acts as a portal to thousands of resources, and serves many types of users with many different levels of expertise about what our library offers and how to use and access those resources. Our usability studies have been positive regarding our current homepage navigation, so the less we radically change access to these resources and information, the less stress for our users.
As a result the links in the homepage main content area remain very similar, with the exception of some additions for popular items that were not directly linked from the homepage previously, and a newly created item. These additions include direct links to: Course Reserves Forms for faculty, Research Support for First Year Students, Computer Availability, Printing, and a new page called Programs, Spaces, & Projects.
The homepage search box has also been redesigned to include an eJournal search as well as a database search. The database search is not a place to search databases for articles but a place to find a database suitable for your research. It includes an A-Z list as well as a keyword/title search.
Lastly, the My Account link now includes links to both library account types currently available, your Interlibrary Loan and Library Catalog accounts.
We hope you will find these changes useful, and the site easy to navigate from both your desktop and mobile device.

Oklahoma Representatives Leslie Osborn and Josh Cockroft, and Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Mark Costello joined Oklahoma Clean Cities stakeholders at the Capitol on Wednesday to discuss the State's two newest alternative fuel vehicles laws passed by the Oklahoma Legislature. The two bills, HB1283 and HB1728, were recently signed into law by Governor Mary Fallin.
HB1283, sponsored by Rep. Cockroft and Sen. Jolley, standardizes weights and measures for compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Cockroft and Jolley, recognizing the need to standardize how CNG and LNG are sold, worked together to get the bill passed. "Anyone in Oklahoma fueling their cars or trucks with CNG or LNG can be assured they're getting the same amount of energy at every station in the state," says Eric Pollard of Central Oklahoma Clean Cities.
Representative Cockroft also discssed his legislation that would assist County governments convert vehicles to CNG. The bill awaits the Governor's signature.
HB1728, sponsored by Rep. Leslie Osborn and Sen. Ron Justice made changes in requirements for alternative fuel vehicle technicians. "Oklahoma is already a national leader in our technician certification program, and HB1728 will make it even more effective" says Adriane Jaynes of Tulsa Area Clean Cities. Automotive technicians in Oklahoma servicing alternative fuel vehicles must meet certain training requirements and pass a state-issued exam. Facilities must also meet strict codes. According to Jaynes and Pollard, other states look to Oklahoma for guidance because Oklahoma's programs are so advanced.
Members of the Oklahoma Department of Labor's Alternative Fuels Unit gave a presentation on the rules changes and answered questions from alternative fuel industry stakeholders.
The meeting was hosted by Clean Cities coalitions in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The U.S. Dept. of Energy's Clean Cities program advances the nation's economic, environmental, and energy security by supporting local actions to reduce petroleum use in transportation. Part of DOE's Vehicle Technologies Office, Clean Cities has saved nearly 6.5 billion gallons of petroleum since its inception in 1993.
In 2014, COKCC and TACC stakeholders displaced more than 10.6 million gasoline gallon equivalents of petroleum fuel helping to ensure the nation's energy security, strengthening our local economy, and improving regional air quality.

Q: Invoking a Button Click Event of UserControl from its parent Form using Function Keys Like (F3,F6) Code in User Control (Windows User Control).
I have a button and when click on the button some logic will fire.
below is button event.
 private void btnCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     // Some Logic
 }

I have Main form (Windows form)
I am adding the above user control in a Panel of my Main Winform.
From here I want to invoke the user control btnCancel_Click event using some function Keys Like (F3,F4).
This is a very new thing for me. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks .
Krishna

A: Set your parent form KeyPreview attribute to true and then in the KeyDown event of your parent form, look for if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F3), then write a public method for your usercontrol which fires the btnCancel_Click. You can access it from your parent form.
Parent Form:
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F3)
    {
        MyUserControl.FireButtonEvent();
    }
}

Usercontrol:
public void FireButtonEvent()
{
  this.btnCancel_Click(null, EventArgs.Empty);
}

A: Create a KeyEvent method. for example:
private void KeyDown(Object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    string sKey = e.KeyValue.ToString();
    if (sKey==112) {//SomeCode;} // F1
}

In the designer code link the method to a key press event on the main form:
this.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.KeyDown);
Look on the net for the key values of the button you want to activate it,
F1 to F24 are values 112 to 135.

MLB Rumors: Hanley Ramirez being designated for assignment, per report
The Boston Globe is reporting that the Red Sox are designating Hanley Ramirez for assignment
By Adam J. Morris May 25, 2018, 10:28am CDT
Share All sharing options for: MLB Rumors: Hanley Ramirez being designated for assignment, per report
MLB Rumors: Hanley Ramirez and the Boston Red Sox are parting ways, according to a Boston Globe story that says that the Red Sox are designating Ramirez for assignment to make room on the active roster for second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who is being activated from the disabled list today. Ramirez is in the final year of a 4 year, $88 million deal that the previous Red Sox regime signed him to, and that generally has not worked out for the BoSox.
Ramirez, 34, has a .254/.313/.395 slash line this season while playing first base and DH. Though Ramirez had played shortstop and third base prior to being signed by Boston, the Red Sox signed him with the intent of playing him in left field. He was awful out there, however, and has mostly played DH and first base since. Ramirez's 2019 option for $22 million vests if he accumulates 497 plate appearances this season, and avoiding that possibility could be a motivating factor for the BoSox.
Ramirez put up a 3.3 bWAR in 2016, but has a total of 0.6 bWAR in the other three years of his deal with Boston, and has a .260/.326/.450 aggregate slash line for Boston during his most recent stint there. Ramirez originally was a Boston international signee, and was traded to the Marlins in the 2005-06 offseason in a deal that brought Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to Boston. Rangers fans may recall that the Rangers were also negotiating with Florida for Beckett, and were prepared to send John Danks and Hank Blalock to the Marlins, but balked at including Joaquin Arias in the deal.
The Red Sox will now have seven days to waive, trade or release Ramirez. No one will claim him if he is waived, so their best hope is to trade him to a team that will pay a portion of his salary. That seems unlikely, however, and Ramirez will presumably be a free agent this time next week.

Home Perspectives Hillary! Our Favorite Author?
Hillary! Our Favorite Author?
L. Brent Bozell III
The Clintons may be moving out of the White House, but that doesn't mean the media will stop being their loving courtiers, assisting them in whatever political or financial endeavors they pursue, while sympathizing with them through every unfortunate bout of "Clinton hater" scandalmongering.
Hillary Clinton took advantage of her waning days in the White House by releasing a new book casting herself as a combination Martha Washington and Martha Stewart. One reporter who can't get over it is Ann McFeatters, a White House correspondent for Scripps-Howard Newspapers during the Clinton years. Rarely has a journalist slobbered more profusely.
McFeatters announces "the publisher, Simon & Schuster, promises to make a donation to the National Park Service. So it seemed like a civic duty to buy this book. And am I glad I did!" While she jokes that all the pictures of the Clintons "hugging, kissing, dancing, laughing, joking, caressing" do not include "pictures of anyone throwing anything," she writes: "The dictionary just doesn't have enough superlatives for this book."
You can look up the word "fawning" in the dictionary, and there perhaps find McFeatters' picture.
This "objective" reporter doesn't just love the book, she's awestruck by its author: "The first lady's energy level is superhuman," and she details a day full of book-related activities.
McFeatters concludes by looking forward to Hillary's next book, her White House memoirs, "where she will explain the lessons she has learned. No recipes for food, just life."
Personally, I want to hear about Vince Foster.
Simon and Schuster will pay Mrs. Clinton an amazing $8 million advance for this book, which is not scheduled for release until 2003. A huge gamble? Or a shameless bribe? You could argue we won't know for a while. If the book sells two million copies and makes the publisher eight million dollars, it's worth the fee. But if it tanks, doesn't it look like another episode of people taking a dive on cattle futures, except the payoff is $8 million, not just $100,000?
Newt Gingrich is out there smashing furniture right now, I bet. Nobody waited to see sales figures when incoming Speaker Gingrich accepted a $4.5 million advance from Rupert Murdoch's Harper Collins almost exactly six years ago. That was national news within seconds. "We'll hear more about this one," CBS reporter Bob Schieffer promised. Schieffer was still hammering Gingrich about it six months later. Pundits like Al Hunt on CNN quickly called for Gingrich to dump the advance or donate it to an orphanage, and media pressure ultimately caused Gingrich to give up the advance within a few days. A lot of good that did: In the first six weeks of the controversy, the network evening news shows aired 27 news stories é seven each on ABC, CBS, and NBC, and six on CNN.
Dan Rather suggested straight out that Gingrich was being bribed by a businessman with interests before Congress: "More tonight about whether Australian-born-and -centered communications billionaire Rupert Murdoch is trying to buy influence with politically connected authors."
But now the shoe's on Rather's foot. Simon & Schuster is an arm of Viacom, which also owns … Rather's CBS. Will Dan have the guts to repeat his sentence about "buying influence"? Will Eric Engberg fulminate endlessly on this arrogant, unethical power broker?
So far, only CBS has touched the story (on a Saturday). ABC and NBC have ignored it. CNN featured one prime-time debate moderated by Greta Van Susteren, who suggested conservative Keith Appell was somehow a sexist for objecting to the Gingrich double standard: "Some of the women in this country may think you have a huge double standard, because, you know, here's a woman who has obviously been able to go out in the marketplace and command a huge amount of money, and a lot of people are squawking."
Ultimately, the Gingrich imbroglio led to the House banning book advances, while in the Senate, advances are not improper income as long as the arrangement is "usual and customary." There is nothing usual or customary about this deal, so will the Senate Ethics Committee investigate? Senate GOP leader Trent Lott quickly é predictably é promised to do nothing about it.
Some may be wondering why Queen Hillary doesn't have the ethical sense to prevent another Clinton scandal before her term in the Senate even begins. But why should she? The media are even less enthusiastic to investigate than wimpy Trent Lott.
Remember this book deal the next time you hear one of those pious media sermons about the critical need for "campaign finance reform."

"If He's Top Scorer…" Merson Makes Premier League Title Claim As He Praises Reece James
Content Editor Nov 28th 2021
Chelsea will not finish top of the table if Reece James is still the club's top goalscorer at the end of the season, according to Paul Merson.
The Sky Sports pundit was effusive in his praise of the 21-year-old, who he believes can become the best right-back in the country, but he says the Blues' title hopes hinge on other players stepping up to score goals:
"Reece James is becoming a superstar and he is already Chelsea's top scorer this season. But if he's top scorer by the end of the season they are not winning the league – because to do that you need a striker banging in the goals."
James has scored four goals and provided four assists in nine league appearances for Chelsea so far this campaign, which is an extremely impressive return.
However, Merson is adamant that for Thomas Tuchel's side to finish ahead of the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, it will require Romelu Lukaku to score at least 20 between now and May:
"It's Romelu Lukaku they need to score the goals. Title-winning teams need a striker scoring 20 goals a season. If Lukaku doesn't do that he's been a major flop. But he will get chances when he's back fit, so there's no reason to believe he won't score goals."
It's a pretty fair observation from Merson. You can't be relying on your wingbacks to score all your goals, and Chelsea's title ambitions do rest with the signing of Lukaku coming good.

I work out of my garage in Oakland, California.
I love to build all sorts of things from fine wood furniture to little life hacks. I'm from San Francisco and I'm mostly self-taught out of necessity because the adults in my life couldn't swing a hammer, but they were loving and provided a stable home for me and my five younger siblings.
I built my first bench when I was 12, carrying the wood home from Paupenhausen Hardware, and hand-sawing and nailing the thing together.
Since then, I've acquired some power tools and have done a number of renovation and construction projects. I have built some decks, kitchens, bedrooms, a little shak-in-the-back, fences, roofs… you name it!
Recently, I turned my garage into a woodshop and started focusing on fine woodworking. I've learned everything so far by watching YouTube videos and trying out new techniques.
Soon I will begin showing my project builds on YouTube in order to inspire someone else to go on and make something.
As an introvert, I appreciate quiet time, so I'm rarely on social media and will be slow to respond to your comments there. I do however see emails, so please send me a message on this site if you'd like to connect.


The Dean has a new hobby and, as a result, a whole lot of new toys.
The School of Math and Sciences has entered the world of 3D printing by acquiring a new Cartesian-model 3D printer. The Monoprice Maker Select V2 is a hobbyist's dream, but it also has great potential for classroom use as well as in our research programs. Thanks to a large online community of "makers," and a particularly large user base for this particular model, the Maker Select is ideal for small projects at low cost.
The original goals of having a 3D printer in the school centered on being able to create manipulatives to visualize concepts in three dimensions. Examples include conic sections in Algebra, the disc and shell methods in Calculus, nets in Geometry, or even more advanced topics in Computer Aided Geometric Design.
However, since acquiring the equipment, some NEW projects are now being considered. We now have plans to begin printing scale replicas of outcroppings for use in our Geology courses and research. We are also exploring the use of the printer to develop molds for our micro-fluidics research in Chemistry.
We can almost guarantee the next time you visit us on campus, we'll be printing something so stop by the Dean's Corner and see what new creation is on the print bed.

Second Read
When the Oppens Gave Up Art to Fight Fascism
By Miranda Popkey
George and Mary Oppen pose together on Eagle Island, Maine, in the late nineteen-sixties or early seventies.
PHOTOGRAPH BY RACHEL BLAU DUPLESSIS
Late in 1935, the artist Mary Oppen and her husband, George, a poet, made a decision. The young couple had recently returned to New York after several years abroad. In Europe, they had read the signs. Jews were fleeing Germany; in Italy, Mussolini was an object of worship. Back in the United States, which they had left in 1929, they were startled by the changes wrought by the Depression. At stoplights, "grown men, respectable men—our fathers—stepped forward to ask for a nickel, rag in hand to wipe our windshield," Mary recalls in her memoir, "Meaning a Life," which was published in 1978. Though they had always been leftists, Mary and George now wanted to find an organization with which they could ally themselves. They spoke with the son of the founder of the Socialist Labor Party. They listened to Trotskyites. And then, at the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International, the Communist Party proclaimed a Popular Front against Fascism. This, for George and Mary, was a turning point. "We said to each other, 'Let's work with the unemployed and leave our interest in the arts for a later time,' " Mary writes.
Their "interest in the arts," as Mary calls it, was not negligible. Mary painted, and George had recently published his first collection of poetry, "Discrete Series," with a preface by Ezra Pound. And yet set it aside they did. They joined the Communist Party and became members of the Workers Alliance. They occupied the apartments of those threatened with eviction; they secured rent and food aid from the relief bureau for those who were eligible. In New York's Oneida County, the Oppens helped organize dairy farmers in a milk strike. "In a short time, we were no longer thinking . . . of poetry or of painting," Mary recalls. Between 1934 and 1958, George did not write. "He did not write letters, he didn't even sign checks. I mean, he did not write," his daughter, Linda, said at a panel discussion several years ago. He did not publish again until 1962. In 1969, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his collection "Of Being Numerous."
By all accounts, the decision that the Oppens made in the winter of 1935 was not one they ever regretted. Regret seems not to have been an element of their emotional lives at all. Over the phone, not long ago, Linda, who is the couple's only child, described the long conversations between her parents that would precede any decision. Once the decision was made, she said, there was no question of turning back. "If there were grounds for regret, they would simply have sailed past it . . . one of the decisions was to not regret, not go back into the past."
"We were in search of an esthetic within which to live," Mary writes near the beginning of "Meaning a Life," recounting the time just before she and George set off on a cross-country hitchhiking trip—one of a few that they took together in the nineteen-twenties—"and we were looking for it in our own American roots, in our country." They were not looking, in other words, to convention, or to family, or even, necessarily, to art. Recently, I asked Rachel Blau DuPlessis, a poet and critic who edited "The Selected Letters of George Oppen" and knew the couple personally, to describe this aesthetic. "I think that they did not want to lie," she said.
This had both moral and artistic implications. "The ethics had kind of an aesthetic turn, and the aesthetics had an ethical turn," DuPlessis told me. If the action of "Meaning a Life" foregrounds the moral question, Mary's narrative style illuminates its aesthetic dimension. Her descriptions are unrelentingly clear and honest. It's not that she reveals secrets; the book is hardly gossipy. It's that, even as she resists unnecessary exposition, Mary refuses to be anything but frank. Of her three older brothers she writes, "They were not rooted in themselves as my father had been, and I think they have not been happy men." She describes the decision that she and George made to become Communists without any self-aggrandizement or romanticism. "If George and I had come from the working class," she admits, "we would probably never have joined the Communist Party—that was nearly the unanimous decision of the United States' working class." While Mary's family was not especially well off, George's was quite wealthy. The couple were able to live for years, if humbly, on his inheritance.
About halfway through "Meaning a Life," Mary quotes a remark that her husband made, in a 1969 interview, about the objectivist movement, with which he and his poetry were often grouped. Objectivism, he said, was "the attempt to construct meaning, to construct a method of thought from the imagist intensity of vision." He added, "If no one were going to challenge me, I would say 'a test of truth.' If I had to back it up I'd say anyway, 'a test of sincerity'—that there is a moment, an actual time, when you believe something to be true, and you construct a meaning from these moments of conviction." Mary perhaps means only to explain her husband's relationship to a poetic movement, but, in context, the quote reads as a gloss on the couple's way of moving through the world. She and George constructed a meaning from just such moments of conviction; from that meaning, they constructed a life.
George and Mary met in the fall of 1926, as undergraduates at the Agricultural College at Corvallis, Oregon. On their first date, Mary writes, they "drove out into the country, sat and talked, made love, and talked until morning." When they returned to campus, Mary was expelled for breaking her curfew; the next day, she headed back to Grants Pass, Oregon, where her mother and brothers were living. George, who had been suspended by the college, soon followed. The partnership forged that night would last until George's death, in 1984. Mary died in 1990, at the age of eighty-one.
In 1942, seven years after they joined the Communist Party, George, who was Jewish, voluntarily gave up his draft exemption and was sent to Europe. "It seemed to us that the lives of all Jews were endangered by fascism; our lives were in danger, and not to fight in the war was to ask of others what we would not do for ourselves," Mary writes. George was thirty-four. He was seriously wounded just before the war ended, when a German shell exploded inside the foxhole where he and two other soldiers had taken cover. The other two soldiers died.
After the war, they drove West in a trailer George had refurbished himself; the family "passed horses on the prairie, and George caught one for Linda." When they arrived in California, they lived, for a time, in a trailer park next to a stable where a "small circus wintered." "Linda and I rode the baby elephant Zaida," Mary writes. A few years later, the Oppens and their daughter left California, and the U.S. entirely, for Mexico; they lived there, in exile, from 1950 to 1958. Visits from the F.B.I. had left them concerned that their previous affiliation with the Communist Party might land one or both of them in jail.
Mary was, at various points, a photographer, a painter, and a printmaker; she produced etchings, collages, and lithographs. After the memoir, she published a collection titled "Poems & Transpositions" (1980), and then a chapbook, "Mother and Daughter and the Sea" (1981). It would be easy to read into these facts—late publication and the lack of, say, a solo gallery show—a thwarted ambition. That would be wrong, though. Over the phone, Linda told me that, when her mother and father first came to New York, Mary shopped her paintings around at a few galleries; she recalled one of Mary's paintings being in "a big exhibit at the Smithsonian. But she didn't enjoy doing that and stopped doing it." Her mother "didn't need anyone else's approval," she added. DuPlessis echoed Linda's assessment, and in sharper terms. Mary "didn't really want to be in the market economy," she told me. In fact, Mary emerges, in her memoir, as an individual wholly unconcerned with pleasing others—not uncoöperative, just sure of herself. Both Mary and George "wrote to please themselves," DuPlessis told me. "She's not looking over her shoulder for an audience." This is not to say that they isolated themselves. "They were very involved in whatever the conversation around them was," Linda told me.
In "Meaning a Life," Mary explains that she was determined to get out of Grants Pass because it "held for me the greatest danger I could conceive: to be trapped in a meaningless life with birth and death in a biological repetition, without serious thought or a search for life with more meaning." Then she became determined to live a life with George—which meant, for one thing, doing the practical work that made that life possible. "Nothing would have functioned if it hadn't been for her," Linda told me over the phone, "and she always did it when you weren't looking." It's tempting to see here that familiar dynamic of the male artist supported by his more practical wife, whose own ambitions are therefore necessarily subsumed. It's tempting until one reads the memoir itself, which was self-evidently written by a woman who was not subsumed. Mary chose to make her life with George her life's work. To assume that the practical efforts that followed from that decision were a burden would be to underestimate the degree of Mary's self-possession.
In "The Argonauts," from 2015, the writer Maggie Nelson cites the influence of the Oppens and describes "an almost sadistic urge to unearth some kind of evidence that George and Mary had been unhappy, even if at moments." She is unable to. In their later years, the Oppens became touchstones for a younger generation of artists, critics, and intellectuals, among them the poet Sharon Olds and the novelist Paul Auster. (Essays by both appear in the collection "The Oppens Remembered," which DuPlessis edited.) David R. Godine has kept "Meaning a Life" in print, but it is not widely read. In "The Argonauts," Nelson mentions that, when she found "Meaning a Life" on Amazon, "there was only one review. It was by a guy who gave the book a single star, complaining: 'Purchased this book hoping to gain insight into the life of one of my favorite poets. Very little about George and a lot about Mary.' "
"They tried to have an exemplary life," DuPlessis told me. It is an example that feels especially apt now—particularly their ability to perform unromantic, inconvenient, unpleasant tasks when necessary; to set personal ambition and pleasure aside in favor of what can be dreary and largely unrewarded work. "Meaning a Life" is a reminder that sympathy is not nothing, but sympathy, when it leads to action, is something more, and greater.

Seminar: Visiting Scholar: Liping Wang, Ph.D.
All are invited to attend the visiting scholar seminar Thursday, September 4, at 3:00 pm in WEB 1230 entitled,
"Enhancing Solar Energy Harvesting and Conversion with Nano-Engineered Metamaterials"
Liping Wang, Ph.D.
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering School for Engineering of Matter, Transport & Energy
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Warnock Engineering Bldg. (WEB) 1230
Spectral control of thermal absorption and emission with engineered surface radiative properties plays a crucial role in harvesting solar energy. In this talk, I will discuss the exotic optical and radiative properties of nano-engineered materials, or called metamaterials, and how the novel metamaterials would greatly impact the performance of solar thermal, solar thermophotovoltaic (TPV), and solar photovoltaic energy conversion. By exciting magnetic polariton (MP), i.e., the coupling of electromagnetic waves to magnetic resonance inside nanostructures, film-coupled metamaterials made of tungsten gratings are successfully designed to achieve spectrally-selective absorption. The underlying physical mechanism and unique optical properties as a function of wavelength, direction, and polarization will be discussed in detail. An optimized metamaterial structure is numerically demonstrated as a perfect selective solar thermal absorber with >88% solar absorptance and <3% mid-IR emittance. The solar-to-heat conversion efficiency is theoretically predicted at different working temperatures and optical concentrations, demonstrating the enhanced performance with this superior metamaterial selective absorber. Recent temperature-dependent optical characterization results of a fabricated metamaterial solar absorber sample at room temperature up to 350°C will be presented. Besides, such a metamaterial absorber could be readily used as a selective TPV emitter at high temperatures. By using the designed metamaterial as the selective solar absorber, which efficiently converts solar energy to heat, and as the selective TPV emitter, which gives photons with energy only above the bandgap of a photovoltaic cell, the performance of a solar TPV system could be greatly enhanced. The estimated solar-to-electron efficiency for a metamaterial-enhanced solar TPV system could reach 10% with 50× optical concentration at an absorber-emitter temperature of 1200 K, far exceeding the 0.5% conversion efficiency with black surfaces. Finally, a film-coupled metamaterial solar cell is proposed with an ultrathin active semiconductor layer with thickness less than 100 nm. Plasmonic light trapping due to the excitation of MP, which strongly localizes light inside the active layer above the semiconductor bandgap, is achieved, leading to enhanced optical absorption in ultrathin solar cells and thus potentially improved electric power generation.
Dr. Liping Wang received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with a focus on nanoscale radiative heat transfer in December 2011 at Georgia Institute of Technology under the guidance of Professor Zhuomin Zhang. He started his academic career as an assistant professor at Arizona State University in July 2012 after a short stay in Prof. Zhang's group as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Wang's research primarily aims to selectively control thermal radiation for energy and sensing applications by fundamentally understanding and exploring novel physical mechanisms in nanoscale radiative transport with nanoengineered materials or so-called metamaterials. Besides, he has been investigating near-field thermal radiation for energy harvesting and thermal modulation applications. Dr. Wang is currently the director of the Nano-Engineered Thermal Radiation Lab and the lead principal investigator for ASU's participation in the US-Australia Solar Energy Collaboration on Micro Urban Solar Integrated Concentrator project, sponsored by Australian Renewable Energy Agency. His research findings have been published in more than 20 peer-reviewed high-impact journal papers in applied physics, optics, and heat transfer. He is the recipient of the 2010 Hartnett-Irvine Best Paper Award from the International Centre of Heat and Mass Transfer, and the 2011 ASME NanoEngineering Council Award for Top NanoEngineering in Energy & Sustainability Poster. Dr. Wang has won the 2013 Top 5% Engineering Faculty Teaching Award at ASU for his teaching excellence. Besides, he has been actively contributing to the professional community with service activities in organizing technical conferences and reviewing scientific manuscripts.

PG Interview: Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick

Ed Westwick, it must be said, sounds absolutely nothing like he does on The CW's Gossip Girl. Which is certainly not a bad thing, but it is a bit disarming once his deep British accent rumbles across the phone line. In fact it's so disarming that I've now decided that it's a good thing that he plays the role of Chuck Bass with an American accent because, honestly, it would be … [Read more...] about PG Interview: Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick

Q: How is a program with many functions stored in a text segment? Let us say I have a simple c program written to compute the result of a number raised to a power of 2. This is handled by a function called pow(a,n). The main function just takes in a user input, calls this function with the number and prints the returned result. After I compile and run this program, I think the entire function would be in the text segment in physical memory. Is this correct? When does the stack come into the picture here?

A: When does the stack come into the picture here?
Before calling this library function pow(a,n), you declare a variable inside your main function isn't, those variable is allocated on the stack.
text segment in physical memory. Is this correct?
This is irrelevant because of the technique called Virtual Memory, which makes your program feel it has access to address on RAM even your program data/text etc., is present somewhere.

A: Compiled program will be stored in the text segment from where the instruction are fetched for execution. Address of the function will be know to process( program under execution ) as it is globally declared in a separate table called symbol table .
The stack it C comes in to picture a function call is made. It needs its own place to store the local variables  (Frame pointer and passed parameters to the function and so on).

A: Mostly stack will be used for two purpose.

*

*For storing local variables. say  a, b in main()

*Call stack.
int main()
{
   int a = 5, b = 10; //Stored in Stack
   pow(a,b); //stack role - Call stack for returning control to main function
}

void pow(int x, int y)
{
  int v; //stack involved here too.
   .....
}

PA Sex Abuse News – A Former Philadelphia Main Line Boy Scout Leader Arrested for Alleged Sex Abuse of a Family Member
A former youth coach, Philadelphia Main Line Boy Scout leader and church member in Pennsylvania has been charged with sexually abusing a family member earlier this month. According to the police in the Philadelphia Main Line, the family member was sexually abused by the man since he was 13 years old. Charles Robinson, who is 60 years old and resides in Paoli, Pennsylvania, was arrested on December 31, 2015.
The abused victim contacted Chester County youth services who then contacted Radnor police since the alleged abused happened in Radnor Township. According to Radnor police, the victim finally came forward because he could not bear the abuse.
Robinson allegedly abused the family member for 4 years. The abuse started with Robinson massaging the victim. It then progressed to late-night incidents in the victim's bedroom and attempted trips to the shower. According to police, Robinson, who is a married father with children of his own, biological and adopted, would take away the victim's cell phone so that the victim was not able to have contact with anybody else. The victim is now an adult.
Robinson was a leader with the Boy Scouts of America, as well as various youth groups where he was a basketball coach. He was involved in a lot of programs where he came in contact with children.
The police are encouraging victims who have been sexually abused by Robinson to come forward. The police are also encouraging anyone who has concerns about Robinson to come forward. (Contact Radnor Police: 610-688-0503)
Sexual Predators are Often Known to Sex Abuse Victims
As we discussed in previous PA and NJ sex abuse articles, victims often know their abusers. Many perpetrators are friends, trusted teachers or family members like the above case. Parents may not talk to their children about sexual predators when their children are cared for by someone they trust and know, such as a family member. However, because victims are often abused by someone they know, it is important for parents to talk to their children about sexual predators. In addition, parents need to convey to their children that they can always come to them and talk about anything. This way, if their children are sexually assaulted, they feel that they can come and talk to their parents.

Of course, the biggest signing of the week, as the NFL free agency season got underway, was the signing of running back Le'Veon Bell. Filling the running back position was number one on the team's to-do list. Next up was addressing needs on the offensive line and on the defensive side of the ball. While the team is trying to decide how to beef up the offensive line and get a quality center in place, finding a way to shore up the defense is taking priority. Gamblers, who might consider using bet lucky, will want to take note of what's going on in New York. This team will no longer be the NFL's doormat.
As for resigning Anderson to a 3-year, $25.2 million deal, it was a no-brainer. First of all, Gase has decided to keep a base 3-4 defense. Anderson excelled in that defense last year, recording a career high 7.0 sacks. The other motivating factor for making sure he stayed in the fold was his on-field performance during the 2018. Anderson is only 27 and his best years are most likely still ahead.
The 6'6", 301-pound Anderson arrived in New York last season in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts. The deal for a seventh-round choice looked like a steal after Anderson accounted for a team high and personal-best seven sacks with 21 QB hits and six pass defenses. If he is able to continue putting up these kinds of numbers, a little over $8.0 million a year will be a great investment.
The great news is Anderson seems genuinely delighted to stay with the Jets. He told reporters, "I loved playing here last year. I think they do a great job of taking care of the players. Ownership makes sure we have everything we need the staff here is awesome. I love living up here. I really wanted to be back, so I'm glad they made a good offer and I'm excited to be back."
With a couple of key positions locked in with quality players, the Jets staff can now turn its attention to the draft in April. According to draft experts, the Arizona Cardinals are expected to select Oklahoma QB Kylie Murray with the top pick. That would leave defensive ends Nick Bosa (Ohio State) and Josh Allen (Kentucky) on the board. With the second pick, San Francisco will likely take Bosa, leaving the Jets clear to select Allen. Allen is a great pass rusher and will give the 4-3 defense the piece it otherwise would be sorely missing.
From there, it would be prudent for the Jets to go cornerback in the second round and try to land a talented, deep-threat wide receiver in the third.

Mariana Starke: First Productions
Posted by womanandhersphere in Mariana Starke on January 7, 2013
In 1787 J. Walter, a London publisher/bookseller operating from premises close to Charing Cross, issued – as Theatre of Education – a new English translation of Le Théâtre á l'usage des jeunes personnes, a collection of comedies by Mme de Genlis, the first woman to be appointed tutor to princes of France.
Madame de Genlis
This innovative method of providing a moral education for children through the use of short plays had proved immensely popular on both sides of the Channel. First published in France in July 1779, an English translation, under the imprint of T. Cadell and P. Elmsly ; T. Durham, appeared in 4 octavo volumes in 1781, with a new edition, in 3 volumes, under the same imprint, following in 1783. [See http://archive.org/details/theatreeducatio07genlgoog for the online edition of the 1781 4-volume edition]. Nowhere is the name of the translator of this edition stated, although it is thought that he was male. As far as I know he has never been identified – although this really is not my field and I would welcome correction.
Nor, indeed, is there any indication on the title page of the J. Walter edition of the names of the translator(s) of his edition. It was not until 1831, when an obituary of Mrs Millecent Thomas (the former Millecent Parkhurst -see Mariana Starke: An Epsom Education) appeared, that the truth was revealed.
As the Annual Register and The Gentleman's Magazine reported, Mrs Thomas 'assisted her friend Miss Starke in translating Mme de Genlis' Theatre of Education'. Over 150 years later, in Notes and Queries (45:1; March 1998), Edward W. Pitcher identified the edition translated by Mariana and Millecent as that published by J. Walter. The Annual Register had cited the translation as being issued between 1783 and 1788 in three duodecimo volumes, although a consultation of COPAC reveals no J. Walter edition pre-dating 1787. It does, however, seem to have been issued in a variety of formats. The 3-volume British Library set appears to be inscribed, if I have deciphered the handwriting correctly, 'Miss M.B. Woollery, the gift of her friend Mrs Thomas'. Millicent Parkhurst married the Rev Joseph Thomas in 1791, the gift, if it really was from her, presumably post-dating her marriage. The only advertisement for the J. Walter edition that I have found appears in The Times, 28 July 1790, and refers to a set of four-volumes, at the not inconsiderable price of 10 shillings. J. Walter was the publisher of, among a wide variety of productions, Mrs Chapone's works – including Letters on the Improvement of the Mind, a seminal conduct book for young women of the period. He had presumably thought it worth backing a translation of Theatre of Education to rival that issued by Cadell et al, although doubtless he had paid little to the youthful translators. It does not appear to have merited either a reissue or a second edition.
So we find that the two young women, still in their mid-20s, living in Epsom, across the road from each other, had embarked on a new translation of a much-fêted work which they had then succeeded in getting published. Not that this, when we know their circumstances, is particularly surprising. For, by the 1780s, Millecent Parkhurst and Mariana Starke were well-educated young women, with influential literary contacts. We have noted that John Parkhurst, Millecent's father, and William Hayley, to whom Mariana was a 'poetic daughter', both gave encouragement.
Mariana Starke was also on intimate authorly terms with George Monck Berkeley (1763-93), a precocious literary talent. In a letter written to him at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, on 22 August 1787, Mariana reveals 'that I am now much better qualified to write a Tragedy than when I composed the first three Acts of Ethelinda, as I have lately studied dramatic composition with great diligence.' She is referring to a play, Ethelinda, which she and Monck were writing together. It is tempting to conclude that her reference to recent dramatic composition might not be unrelated to the work involved in producing the translation of Mme de Genlis' plays. A few sentences later she tells Monck that 'After I had finished Ethelinda to the best of my abilities, I carried it to my excellent Friend, Mr Parkhurst, whose almost paternal regard for me prompted him to consider it with great attention: he has corrected all the errors which happened to strike him; and advises me to let every material thing stand as it is now, saying, he thinks the Play very dramatic, and very likely to be well received: As he has condescended to take infinite pains with the Piece, I am sure you must agree with me in thinking it would be extremely indelicate to put any Critic over him, especially as Mr Parkhurst (from the soundness of his judgment and the depth and universality of his knowledge), is perhaps of all men in this Kingdom, best qualified for the office of a Critic. I have, in conformity to your advice, shortened my own acts and lengthened yours; and I have studied to insert the many excellent speeches, with which your acts abound; but sorry am I to say, that there is one sweet speech on fame, which I know not how to introduce according to the present plan of the Play. Your speech on murder, which is, by the by, the finest thing I ever read, I have put into the beginning of the Play, where it shows to great advantage; and many more of your lines I have occasionally introduced among my own, by way of giving a strength to my composition, which it seemed to want. I find, from Joinville, that the Crusaders always crowned their Heroes with palm, therefore I have substituted that for laurel. I am told by a Gentleman who is deeply read in the records, that even Kings, in the time of Richard the 1st, did not espouse what we now call the regal style; therefore I should think Ethel had better not do it – and I have taken the liberty to alter the two last lines of Bertram's [?] dying speech, because (if Homer may be credited) no man, who dies of a wound in the breast, can see objects immediately before his death. I have applied to a Friend for Mrs Siddons's interest but am not certain how I shall succeed – if I was more intimate with Mrs Soane [?] I would certainly write to her; but slight as our acquaintance is, it would be too presumptuous – from you, perhaps, she might receive an application graciously. Another Friend of mine, who is acquainted with Linley and King, has undertaken to introduce Ethelinda and me to both of them, and I almost daily expect a summons to appear before those mighty Rulers of the Theatre. So, if you have any interest, work it now, let me entreat you. Linley, at present, is at Bath, but he will speedily return to London.'
Thus, it is clear that by 1787 Mariana Starke was working her apprenticeship as a playwright and knew how to network the theatrical scene. (Mrs Siddons was the most famous tragic actress of her day; Thomas Linley and Thomas King were both involved with the management of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.) It is virtually certain (although I have not yet found any pre-1788 evidence) that Mariana was already well acquainted with Mrs Mary Crespigny (see Mariana Starke: The Mystery of the Bodleian Diary), who organized dramatic performances at a private theatre erected in the grounds of her Camberwell home. The success of The Theatre of Education was predicated on the willingness of families, such as the Crespignys, to stage short plays for amusement – and instruction. For an interesting article on the relationship at this time between private theatricals and public theatre see here.
Although the translators of the J. Walter edition are not named, the 'Advertisement' that prefaces the text at least makes clear that they were women. 'The fame acquired by Madame de Genlis is so deservedly great, and the Theatre d'Education so universally considered as her chef-d'oeuvre, that it naturally becomes the study and admiration of her sex; some of whom, in order to amuse their minds, and at the same time amend their hearts, by imprinting on the memory such exalted precepts as those contained in the Theatre d'Education, undertook to translate it into English, and have now, to the best of their abilities, finished this Work, which they presume to place before the eyes of an indulgent Publick….[so that].people of all ages and all ranks may derive from the Original of Madame de Genlis, the most useful and persuasive lessons, couched in the most eloquent and characteristic language.
I have only compared the two editions in the most superficial way, but, even so, could immediately detect distinct differences in the language used. It was presumably because they felt something wanting in the 1781 translation of Mme de Genlis' work that the two young women felt encouraged to embark on their own. However, The Critical Review, while conceding that there were faults in the 1781 edition, could not bring itself to praise the J. Walter edition.
The translators make clear in the Preface to the J. Walter edition that they had sought Mme de Genlis' permission to publish their translation of her work: 'Permit us, Madam, thus publickly to return our most thankful acknowledgements for the honour you confer upon us, by allowing the following translation to be inscribed to your name; an honour which demands our gratitude in an especial manner, as we do not enjoy the happiness of your personal acquaintance'. There had, presumably, been an exchange of letters between Epsom and France. Unfortunately there is no correspondence (or, at least, none that I have found) that throws any more light on either the production of the translation of the Theatre of Education or its afterlife as it related to the life of Mariana Starke. I have come across no reference at all to the work in any subsequent correspondence. This is perhaps just a little surprising.
We do know, however, the fate of the other work mentioned with which Mariana was involved – for, on 30 October 1788 [at least, I think it was 1788, but it may have been 1787 – the dating of the letters is uncertain], her mother, Mary Starke, wrote from Epsom to George Monck Berkeley a letter in which she she mentions that Mariana is awaiting 'something decisive respecting the fate of the rash, yet beauteous Ethelinda.. You long ago were informed that this heroic Damsel was presented to, and rejected, by the respective Managers of Drury Lane and Covent Garden. Her next application was to Mr Colman [of the Theatre Royal, Haymarket] who paused a long while upon the question, her merit making a deeper impression upon his mind, than upon either of the other Gentlemen. Yesterday, and not before, his determination reached Epsom – 'That he thinks the piece distinguished by many touches of Poetry, tho' on the whole too romantick ..for the Theatre. '…The dear Authoress has laid aside her pen, and taken up her distaff, in other words, her time now is chiefly occupied in inquiring as to the practicability and possibility [?] of establishing Sunday Schools & Schools of Industry in this neighbourhood. How much more becoming in a Female [?] is this than dabbling in ink. However I have derived so large a portion of amusement, not to say instruction, from some female Writers of the present age that I cannot subscribe implicitly to this opinion, worthless perhaps it does not seem proper and may so claim an exception from this lordly privilege on behalf of my own daughter. Therefore she, as I told you before, is resuming the primitive employment of the distaff. Let her rejoice at the success attendant upon the fair Heloise….'
The latter remark may refer to Monck Berkeley's Heloise: or the Siege of Rhodes, published in 1788. Ethelinda, clearly a play set at the time of the Crusades, does not alas, appear ever to have been staged. However we know that Mariana Starke certainly did not take up the distaff and devote herself to 'Sunday Schools & Schools of Industry' but, if the dating of her mother's letter is correct, had already, on 8 August 1788, seen another of her plays – The Sword of Peace – given its first public performance at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. George Colman had, as we shall discover in the next Mariana Starke post, proved most supportive.

Several NE TN lawmakers back right-to-work amendment
by: John Jenco
Posted: Mar 9, 2022 / 11:38 PM EST
Updated: Mar 9, 2022 / 11:38 PM EST
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) – Tennessee voters will decide if right-to-work becomes part of the state constitution, but several Northeast Tennessee lawmakers are already backing that effort.
Gov. Bill Lee serves as the chairman for Vote Yes on 1. Right-to-work laws give workers the right to employment regardless of union member status.
"This November, we have a unique opportunity to preserve freedom by securing right-to-work in our state constitution," Lee said in a Wednesday morning Twitter video.
Lee also announced this week was Right to Work Week.
Vote Yes on 1 refers to Amendment 1 on the November ballot. Northeast Tennessee lawmakers Rep. Rebecca Alexander (Washington Co.), Rep. David Hawk (Greene Co.), Rep. Gary Hicks (Hawkins Co.), Rep. Tim Hicks (Washington Co.), and Sen. Jon Lundberg (Sullivan Co.) all serve as county chairmen on the campaign.
News Channel 11 spoke to Hawk and Hicks about their support for the right-to-work amendment.
Tennessee lawmakers advance right-to-work amendment
Right-to-work has been Tennessee law since 1947, but Hicks believes putting it in the state constitution would protect it from legal challenges.
"It would put it actually into the constitution, and we would have it for generations to come," Hicks said.
Hicks said maintaining right-to-work could be an economic driver for the state.
"It's important for East Tennesseans, especially since our growth of the last couple of years," Hicks said. "It just makes Tennessee a very business-friendly state."
Hicks said protecting right-to-work could be part of a package aimed at getting people back into the workforce. Along with a greater emphasis on trade and vocational school funding, he said the state could get more young people into trade jobs.
Actually changing the constitution is no small matter. It requires both Tennessee House and Senate to approve it by 2/3 majority in two separate general assemblies, then the amendment must be approved by the voters.
"It's a minimum of a three year process, can go as long as an eight year process to get a constitutional amendment going forward," said Rep. David Hawk.

Labor unions vehemently oppose right-to-work laws. On its website, the AFL-CIO said right-to-work laws make it harder for workers to form unions and bargain for better wages and conditions.
Hawk disagreed, saying right-to-work gives workers more freedom to choose.
"If anything, it helps the average person to be able to make their choices on what work conditions they want to have," Hawk said.
The right-to-work amendment passed in the 111th and 112th Tennessee General Assemblies. That means the amendment will be on the ballot on Nov. 8 this year.

Q: How pass an ArrayList from an intent to an other? I have an intent which is searching data from a webservice.
I'm trying to pass these datas from this intent to another screen (intent)
searching intent
public void setXXX(ArrayList<XXX> xxxData) {
    this.xxxs= xxxData;
    if(xxxData.size() > 0)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, otherActivity.class);

        startActivity(intent);
    }else{
        alert (getResources().getString(R.string.no_result));
    }
}

receiver intent
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            this.xxxs = (...);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_xxxlist);
    this.xxxList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);

    this.listView.setAdapter(new xxxDataAdapter(this,this.layoutInflator, this.xxxs));
}

How can i use my arrayList<> from the second intent ?

A: To be able to send Objects through Intents, you have to implement Parcelable interface for that object. It uses a CREATOR to write Strings and primitive types of that object.
Here is the developer page for it.
Once you have done that, you can send that object in an ArrayList like this:
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(ArrayList<Parcelable> ... );

See this method: putParcelableArrayListExtra
And in the receiving activity, you can call:
getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra( String key );

As defined in the API here

Ted Vanner, Model Steamboat Pioneer
Ted with SS Star
This is the earliest photograph of Ted Vanner, taken when when he was twenty-six years old in 1909, cradling one of his cherished creations with barely-concealed pride. Born in 1883 in Deptford as the second of seven children, Ted began his working life as a blacksmith and apparently gained no formal training as an engineer yet became a legendary innovator in model boat design. An early member of Victoria Model Steamboat Club, founded in 1904, Ted remained prominent in the club for more than sixty years until his death in 1955 when his wife Daisy continued to race his boats in her nineties until her death in 1973.
In later life, Ted Vanner recalled that he, along with other Victoria Model Steamboat Club members, took part in the first ever Model Engineer Regatta at Wembley in 1908. They all met at the Club Boat House in Victoria Park at 5:30am where Mr Blaney was busy cooking eggs and bacon over an oil stove for breakfast, and set out for Wembley in a horsedrawn van carrying boats and owners, 'stopping at a few hurdles on the way.'
Working with the most rudimentary tools, it was his skill working with sheet metal and tinplate that set Ted Vanner apart from other competitors. According to Boat Club President Norman Phelps, Ted started with a 'buck' made from orange boxes and plasterer's laths, which he would 'plate' with sections of cocoa tins. In order to create a joint that could be soldered, each plate overlapped the previous one, starting from the stern and working forward. This was Ted's method to create elegantly stream-lined hulls that enabled him to produce model boats which were faster than his rivals. The refined shapes were achieved by 'stroking' the tin over a flat iron before the plates were soldered together with a large iron, heated either in the living room fire or on a gas ring.
In spite of these primitive construction techniques, Ted became an ambitious innovator. The early boats he built were steam driven tugs, such as he would have seen in the London Docks, but he quickly graduated to speed boats with sophisticated multi-cylinder engines. Ted acquired a reputation, competing at regattas all around the country, carrying his boats on the train and representing Victoria Model Steamboat Club in Paris in 1927, winning first prize with Bon-Ami, second prize with Leda III and third prize with Ledaette.
Today, Victoria Model Steamboat Club is one of only a small handful of surviving model boat clubs but you may still see their vessels on the Victoria Park Boating Lake each Sunday in Summer. Many of the boats in the collection are now over a century old and, if you are lucky, you may even get to see one of Ted Vanner's creations in action. Seven of his elegant craft remain in working order, carrying his reputation into the future. An inspirational creator, making so much out of so little with such astonishing ingenuity, Ted Vanner is an unsung hero and legend in the civilised world of model boat clubs.

What a lovely world. My Dad was a model boat enthusiast as a boy, I expect it was very common. Not my cup of tea, but how great to see the shared enthusiasm and spirit of endeavour and the social strength of it.

What a wonderful history to read about Ted and Daisy and these clubs. Love hearing "still in working order". Thanks for the visit down memory lane. Spectacular photos. Thanks Mr. Westcott.

Lovely photos, my Mum took me over there regularly before the war, she once found a toy submarine under a park bench & it became a treasured possession, but I used to look in wonder at the boats going back & forth across the lake and was curious to know who these men in their big waders were…now I know.

I know the Victoria Park Boating Lake well. It was a fairly frequent haunt of mine as a kid. I recall someone bringing a model boat powered by what I was told was a pulse jet: same power unit that the V1's used. It crossed the pond in seconds and made an awful racket. Probably illegal now!

What a fascinating article! The Victoria Model Boat Club is still strong – their level of skill in model building is something to admire.
Speaking generally it is good to see that the concept of making things with one's hands rather than poking screens and keyboards with them, is still alive and kicking.
Being a member of any club, no matter what the interest, is a great way of socialising and keeping your mind active, throughout one's life and especially important in retirement. After a week of stress at work, meeting people of this calibre at the weekend never fails to rebuild my faith in human nature.
The model engineering society I belong to has given me huge encouragement in my ambitions, enabled me to boost my career with new skills and brings out the best in all its members. This is common among all the clubs and societies I have encountered over the years: long may they all continue.

Hello, what a cracking story and article! absolutely inspiring and there was me thinking I was doing something new. If it wasnt for Englishmen in sheds? the world would still be in the stone age.

I have recently acquired a 1935 Bowman Swallow Steamboat which has piqued my curiosity in all things related to these wonderful craft. While I was doing research on the Victoria Model Boat Club, I stumbled across a number of articles written by The Gentle Author on this subject. Your articles are simply remarkable. As an English teacher, I can only marvel at your uncanny ability of capturing an atmosphere – which most of us can only dream about – so perfectly. Your piety in describing these gentlemen of yesteryear is to be admired and is indicative of a sensitive soul.
