Remembering the Bones, by Frances Itani, is a poignant and thought-provoking book about a woman unexpectedly facing the end of her life, and how she comes to terms with it. Georgie is 80 years old, living in Canada, and about to take a trip she has been very much looking forward to. She shares a birthday with Queen Elizabeth, and is selected as one of 99 other people across the British "empire" with the same birthday to come to England to celebrate with the Queen. On her way to the airport, she loses control of her car and drives over a ravine. The car flips and lands at the bottom, and Georgie is thrown from the car, badly injured.
The book takes place as she is lying the ravine, trying to move and waiting to be rescued. Georgie starts to look back over her life, and in a linear fashion, tells her story. As a young girl, she was fascinated by Grey's Anatomy, and memorized most of the human body parts, including the bones. The chapters of Remembering the Bones are each named after different parts of the human skeleton, as Georgie lies in great pain and tries to survive without food, water or even a shawl to keep her warm during the chilly April nights she endures.
Georgie's life story is an unremarkable one. She grew up during the Depression to a wonderful mother and a distant father, enjoyed a close relationship with her sister Ally throughout her whole life, and eventually married Harry, a complicated man with a sad past. Her marriage was a happy one, though, which produced a daughter with whom Georgie is still close. Harry died a few years before the accident, and Georgie's grief over his death is still fresh when she tells her story.
Remembering the Bones is a compelling book. It took a little while to get going, but by page 80 I was hooked. Of course, I wanted to know whether Georgie would be rescued, but even more compelling was the way in which Itani narrated Georgie's life, her past, and the events and memories that make up a life. The writing was simple but powerful. In the end, Georgie wondered, what had she really made of her life? What was she worth? While others around her had had professions, she was really "just" a mother, a wife, and a daughter. It was very sad to hear her measure her life that way, especially after being privy to her innermost thoughts and aspirations at different times in her life.
Remembering the Bones reminded me of Carol Shields' The Stone Diaries, a book I read many, many years ago. Not because of the style in which the books were written, but because they both made me care tremendously about two women who appeared ordinary – perhaps forgettable – on the surface, but who were, deep down, as complicated and introspective and ambitious, in their own ways, as we all believe we are.
Reciter of bones, lover of poems – memory has always been my long suit. Shelver of books. I once drew better-than-average lungs and a superior vena cava. A drawing that wasn't mailed. I created checkerboard sandwiches for family gatherings. I was daughter to Phil and Mr. Holmes, granddaughter to Grand Dan and my unmet grandfather, wife of Harry, mother of case, my child, and for a short time, little Matt.
Of course it all sounds easily dismissed when listed like that. But once you've gotten to know this smart, resourceful woman who has seen her share of sadness, war, death and grief – as well as joy and accomplishment -in her life, you know that these are just bones, just the skeleton of a biography.
I highly recommend Remembering the Bones and I am glad that I read it.

Wow, that book sounds like one that would stick with you for a while.
Hummm. That sounds intriguing. Really different. Thanks.

10 Famous People who Survived Abuse
Article by sanjana sule, October 28, 2013
Abuse is the improper treatment of one human being by another. Abuse can be of many forms- mental, physical, verbal, and sexual. No matter what kind, abuse has a lasting and harmful impact on an individual. It brings along with it depression and a sense of worthlessness. It becomes difficult to deal with such abuse, and even more difficult to come forward and report it. Being abused also brings along with it a feeling of helplessness, where the abused often feels there is no way to overcome it. But that is far from the truth. The people, who are abused, often feel isolated and alone. But that is not the case either. Here is a list of some of the famous people, who themselves have been through dark times. But they have overcome it, and gone on to make something of themselves. They haven't let being abused hinder their life, but instead used it to strengthen themselves. Their stories are phenomenally inspirational, reminding us that we are not alone.
10) Michael Jackson:
Michael Jackson is a name that needs no introduction. Everyone around the world knows this pop artist. But not many know that Michael was physically abused by his father Joe. Michael and his eight other siblings would often receive a beating or a whip if they ever missed a note while practicing. Their father was a strict disciplinarian who often scared them, thereby subjecting them to mental abuse. He would make them rehearse for hours, to the point of exhaustion. On the famous talk show hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Michael himself stated that he was so afraid of his own father, that sometimes the mere sight of him would make him sick.
9) Eminem:
While talking about abuse, people often overlook the case of bullying. Bullying is also a form of abuse, which can be just as deadly and damaging as any of the other forms of abuse. While talking about surviving bullying, there is no better example than the one of the king of rap himself, Eminem. Having moved a lot as a kid he finally settled in the predominantly black area of Eight mile in Detroit. At his school there, he was bullied as a case of reverse racism, often getting beat up bloody. The beating didn't stop until one day his mom filed a lawsuit when Eminem ended up in coma for three days as a result of severe bullying. Eminem talks about this experience in his famous song Brain Damage.
8) Rihanna:
Domestic violence is also a form of abuse and like bullying it too is often left out whilst discussing the various types of abuse. This pop singer was a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her then rapper boyfriend Chris Brown. Reportedly they had an argument in Brown's Lamborghini, in the process of which Brown severely beat up Rihanna leaving her with cuts and bruises across her face and unconscious for the cops to find her, after a neighbour called the police on hearing her screams. Their altercation gained a lot of publicity, with Rihanna pressing charges against the rap star for domestic abuse. Since then she has often openly discussed about her ordeal in the hopes of helping others in similar situations.
7) Mary J Blige:
She is a well known American songwriter, singer, occasional rapper and an actress who has appeared in movies like Rock of Ages. She was molested at a very young age of five by a family friend. A ordeal which, reportedly made her feel worthless as a result of which she took to drinking and even suffered from depression. But with the help of her now husband, she managed to kick the habit and entered herself into rehab for treatment. She reportedly stated that it was the love and support of her husband Kendu Issacs that helped her get through it and find herself again.
6) Queen Latifah:
She is an American singer, song writer, rapper and actress who has a Golden Globe award, a Grammy and an Academy Awards nomination to her name. She revealed that she was sexually assaulted as a kid by her babysitter. She says she bottled up the feelings inside of her not telling anybody as she felt ashamed and shameful over what had happened. But after spending some years in therapy she has emerged strong and victorious on the other side of this tribulation.
5) Virginia Woolf:
She is a well known English writer. A staunch feminist, she is considered to be one of the foremost modernist of the twentieth century. She is well known for her books like Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. As a child she was sexually exploited by her half brother Gerald Duckworth. This abuse is seen as one of the causes for her manic depressive mental illness which plagued her on and off for her entire life.
4) Teri Hatcher:
This beautiful actress is best known for her role as Susan Mayer on the hit TV show Desperate Housewives. As a kid she was sexually abused by her uncle Richard Stone. She was molested from the age of five till she was eight. The trauma left her seriously distraught. She never officially came forward with her story; until one of her uncle's other victim Sara Cleemput committed suicide. After which she decided to come forward and help convict her uncle. Her uncle Richard Stone was sentenced to a jail sentence of twelve years for child abuse.
3) Tyler Perry:
He is an American actor, director, and playwright. He is the producer of the Oscar winning movie Precious. But before he was an entertainment mogul, he faced a troubled childhood. As a child his father would beat him often leaving bruises and welts across his body. As a result of which he tried committing suicide. Not only was he physically abused by his father, but four different adults sexually abused him when he was a kid, three of them being men and one of them being his friend's mother, who sexually assaulted him when he was only ten. Tyler didn't come out with the stories of his nightmarish childhood until very recently, when he shared his story with the hopes that it would be a beacon of light for people going through the same ordeal.
2) Eve Ensler:
A staunch feminist she is well known as the playwright of the famous play The Vagina Monologue. Growing up she was both physically and sexually abused by her own father. Though the sexual abuse stopped when she was ten the physical abuse continued. Because of this she suffered from depression and alcoholism but sobered up at the age of twenty four. As a result of this harrowing experience as a child she has devoted her life in helping people facing similar problems.
1) Oprah Winfrey:
Oprah Winfrey is a name that needs no introduction. Everyone knows this powerful woman who featured number one on the Forbes most powerful celebrity list 2013. As a kid she was subjected to abject poverty and was bought up by her single mother. She was sexually abused by her cousin, uncle and a family friend. The abuse began when she was nine and continued until she finally ran away from her house at the age of thirteen. Coming from a really poor household and facing a lot of problems as a child and teenager, the story of Oprah has been inspiring people for generations. She not only managed to survive all the abuse and problems she faced but went on to become one of the most powerful people ever. It comes as no surprise that she tops our list of famous people surviving abuse.

Q: AWS access the internet through another VPC I have two VPCs - A and  B. VPC A is our main VPC and our Firewall with VPN is located in this VPC. VPC B has no outside subnet. I can connect to any instance in VPC A when I'm connected through the VPN. I have a VPC peering between vpc A and B. From instance in VPC A I can connect to any instance in VPC B.
PROBLEM:
I am trying to connect (ssh) to an instance in VPC B using the VPN in VPC A and it doesnt work.
VPC A routing table- default pointing to Firewall, dest to VPC B has peering connection as target.
VPC B - default is set to peering connection with VPC A.
For testing I have all sec groups wide open.

A: *

*If you are using VPC peering , then it doesn't allow passthrough connection.
It is stated under AWS invalid peering configuration . You may try using SSH tunneling, but I can't guarantee it will works.

*If NOT using VPC peering, there is no way you can connect two VPC without a VLAN and routing in between.

Mohammed Shami's Absence Keenly Felt in Mumbai Test: Sunil Gavaskar
Dec 08, 2016;
Cricket great Sunil Gavaskar said pace bowler Mohammed Shami was a big miss for the Indian team on Day 1 of the 4th Test vs England in Mumbai. "I think Shami's absence was keenly felt by India today," Gavaskar told NDTV, while defending Shami's replacement Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who failed to pick up a wicket during the day. "Bhuvneshwar bowled really well, but he lacked a bit of luck today," he said. The former Indian captain added that restricting England to anywhere around 350 runs would put India in a good position in the ongoing match.


Would you change your job?
Do something that you have always wanted to do?
We all spend a lot of time here on the computer.
Since I started The Social Effect I have done a lot of things I never thought I would do.
Things I thought I was too afraid to do is the real answer.
I have learned that there really is nothing to be afraid of.
It has also taught me that if I let go of my fears then I help others.
That's all we have to do.
Why be afraid of that?
Last week for the International Day of Peace I hit the streets with a few other huggers to give away Free Hugs. For those of you who don't know about Free Hugs, watch the below video, it explains it all.
But how did I end up giving away Free Hugs for the International Day of Peace?
It seems I keep doing that these days!
I contacted Vincent Marx who had started this initiative through his site 1 True Spirit dedicated to revealing the 1 TRUE SPIRIT that exists in every one of us, in all life, and in all things and I was off to the races.
Actually, I was off to the art store to get poster paper and felt pens.
First I launched the event on Facebook, and then the night before (yes, I am one of those people that pulled all nighter before the exam), I enlisted the help of my friend Eric to make posters with me. Well he made the posters and I watched him.
Wednesday, September 21st 2011 was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky for the International Day of Peace. I packed up the car with my posters and my meditation pillow – I had organized a MedMob (Meditation FlashMob) from 12 to 12:30 and from 12:30 to 1 PM we would give away Free Hugs.
The location was in the centre of downtown Montreal (Phillips Square across from The Bay for any of you that know the city) and after negotiating with a band that was playing a little too loud for us to meditate, and finding a spot on the pavement between the kiosks and a photography exhibit that had popped up since I had first chosen the location, a group of twenty or so of us of sat in meditation.
After the meditation, I asked for anyone who wanted to join in for the Free Hugs. Anne, Marilyn and Karen were ready to give it a hug, and we hit the streets to offer a little free love to complete strangers during a busy lunchtime in Montreal.
I hope you can see from the video (thanks Carl and Joanne) we had a lot of fun. What you can't see is what it feels like when someone you don't know trusts you enough to let them take you in your arms and give them a real hug. What does it feel like? It just feels right. It feels like there is no fear, no hate, no anger, that we really are all brothers and sisters, from one family, and that there is one true spirit that exists in all of us.
We did this for the International Day of Peace, but I will tell you a secret, I kept the signs. You may just see me sometime standing on the corner giving out Free Hugs. If you see me, don't be shy, come and get one, they are free, and I promise, they don't hurt.
And by the way, you don't need a sign to give a hug away. Why not give someone you know a hug today, you may be surprised at how good it feels.

First Page Feedback – At His Disposal
Here's the opening for AT HIS DISPOSAL by @elledoo – aimed at Presents!
If Raffaele Ferrarotto thought for one minute he was going to ignore her, he was dead wrong. Olivia shifted, trying not to feel exposed as her driver wound the car through the streets of New York City, bound for the Plaza Hotel and the party Mr. Ferrarotto was hosting. The man had so boldly refused to see her two weeks earlier when she showed up at his offices in the city demanding answers. She never made it past his secretary before being dismissed. It appeared that Mr. Ferrarotto didn't have time for a little girl looking for a lost sibling. She wasn't a child, and tonight Raffaele Ferrarotto was going to learn a very valuable lesson.
The car slowed and her door opened by a slightly stunned doorman. Good. She felt a smile pull at the corner of her lips as the smooth material of her gown whispered across her skin. Without turning she knew the man was getting an eyeful of the dramatic back of her gown. When she saw the light pink silk chiffon creation in her friend's shop she knew it was the dress she was looking for. Seemingly demure with a simple scoop front neckline, the wide pearl-beaded trim continued around the back to scoop low and attach just above her bottom with a loose bow. The style left most of her back and sides exposed while still giving a classic romance vibe. Quite frankly, it made her feel powerful and naked all at once. She loved it.
Stepping into the ballroom she was taken aback by its beauty. The arched double doors were mirrored by the private seating areas set across a sea of towering centerpieces overflowing with fragrant flowers. The dim light of what had to be thousands of candles gave the large room an intimate feeling. Like all of this was done for one person alone. As her eyes followed the columns to the frescoed ceiling she imagined she was that one person.
"Amazing isn't it?" The words were spoken so close to her ear she stumbled forward in surprise. A cool hand gripped her elbow to steady her and she fought not to pull away from the touch.
"I was just thinking that." She turned, offering the man a smile. The candlelight set the perfect scene for his dark good looks. It danced across his high cheekbones and defined jaw. It also drew attention to his dark, calculating eyes.
"I know." He returned her smile but it didn't quite make it to his eyes. Like he knew he was making her uncomfortable and was enjoying it. "I saw you from across the room and thought to myself, surely if a room could up put that look of wonder on this woman's face then I have to meet her. I have to find out what else could bring you pleasure."
He was smooth, she'd give him that. Smooth and probably as oily as his predatory gaze suggested.
And the feedback from The Presents Team…
You have a unique voice and the reader's interest is certainly piqued. (What is she going to demand answers for?! What's going to come out of the mouth of this gorgeous Italian alpha?) In order to give these crucial opening pages more immediacy though we would suggest that you throw the reader into the heart of the action and have the book open with Olivia standing at the door of the event room. Layering in more dialogue right at the start would also help the reader to get a real and immediate feel for who these characters are going to be – you want people invested in Olivia and Raffaele and curious to see their journeys as soon as possible!
Hopefully this helps while working on the manuscript. Remember-get the reader intrigued as quickly as possible! We've had a couple of stories starting in a car–skip that and open the door, unless there's a really, really good reason for it! 🙂

Thank you for sending me the news. I have a circle on the chart showing the date of the appearance of the news.
I make more progress toward my goal of running a profitable fund and leaving my job. I enlist a college buddy to help me, his outlook seems to align with mine currently.
My past experiences of trading as a lone wolf steer my desire to align with a group or pack if you will.
I recall reading about Native American Tribes like the Sioux and their buffalo hunts where the village's men would all participate in the buffalo hunt and everyone would eat. I see that as something I want to align with. I wonder how emotions of greed, pride or envy might affect a group trading dynamic.
I remember you mention something similar, maybe. I want to learn more about your ideas surrounding the "container system" and see if it's an idea that aligns with me and one I can extend the work on.
Your question seems to imply you view dynamics from the Linear-Causal model in which you have various emotions affecting an object you call the group trading dynamic.
In the System-Dynamic Model we have a number of system elements, including Emotions and various actions and states all interacting simultaneously to generate the a dynamic.
You might consider taking your feelings about <working on ideas> to Tribe as an entry point.
Thank you for your website and sharing your thoughts with other people. I was rereading your interview with Jack Schwager yesterday and was struck by your answer to the question: "What's your most important advice to an average trader?" You said: "He should find a superior trader to do his trading for him."
I definitely think you are a superior trader, so I was wondering if accept accounts to manage?
I rarely accept an account to manage.
First I would have to qualify the client as having (1) in excess of $10 million in net liquid assets, (2) willingness to place less than 10% of NLA with me and (3) OK about losing half of the placement.
Also, I don't put much effort into raising funds. Mostly I handle a few long-standing accounts, play the banjo, work on my own issues and, occasionally, get around to writing this column.
A month or so back I participate in a Tribe meeting. I explore the feelings surrounding past abuse.
After the meeting I do not feel a dramatic shift, however in the weeks that follow small things do not irritate me like they do before. I do not rush to an loud outburst when I feel anger. I feel a bit more calm. I start exercising on a regular basis and keep up my abstinence from sugar and junk food (except for special occasions birthdays etc). I eliminate soda and sugary juices in favor of water.
A couple days ago I watch the movie Lion. The movie centers on a young boy lost in India and then reuniting with his mother after 25 years. The movie stirs up a lot of sadness to the point where I start to weep. I relive the feelings of my abuse and can't help but wonder why adults would harm a child and cause so much pain and long lasting hurt. After 30 years I still feel the pain.
That night I do not work out and cannot sleep well. The following days I notice my irritability resurfaces. Perhaps there is a connection there and more work for me to do.
You might consider taking your feelings about <reconnecting with your mother> to Tribe as an entry point.
can bring up many tears.
I feel ready to let go of being the Chief of a Trading Tribe.
I wonder if you might consider removing the link to the Utrecht Tribe from the Tribe Directory.
Thank you for serving as Chief in Utrecht.
The reference no longer shows in the directory.
Thank You for the Website and the Under Fred Model. It has made my life different.
I realize that I play a Controlling Role in my relationships and lack trust. I also find it difficult to make friends and attract drama.
People have called me unemotional and noted that I have one of the Strongest Poker Faces ever (it came from My Mom).
I Also attract Drama in the few romantic relationships I've had and always felt unworthy of love or intimacy.
I read Dr.Tharp's The Red Pill and have started a Course in Miracles as well as the Sedona Method.
I Also want to seek your advise on what else I can do.
I wonder if you can state your intention.
I like to hear your thoughts on this [news article about "cultural approbation"], and the subsequent deletion of the newspaper's original blog post. Does this portend of worse things to come for society in general?
In my book, Govopoly in the 39th Day, I show how the Govopoly System assimilates the Free-Competition Sector.
I choose to observe such trends rather than label them as better or worse.
I would like to report that Heart Rock continues to work for me and that variations of the processes I learn at the Workshop, as part of the San Juan Tribe and with the "virtual" Tribe help me feel and live with greater clarity and purpose.
A few days ago I have a chance to role-play what I anticipate will be a stressful upcoming event. The role play takes place over a phone call with one of our fellow Tribe members.
Even though we are thousands of miles apart, we are able to get into a drama where he plays the role of the antagonist and I have a chance to experience my feelings and to choose how I will react to insults and other verbal attacks. I choose Heart Rock and practice sharing how I really feel instead of defending / fighting back. It feels right.
Later that day when I am in the middle of the encounter we have rehearsed in role play, I am able to use Heart Rock and the result is good. I feel that my behavior and feelings are in alignment. I have clarity.
I notice that my partner's role play is almost an identical match for what my real-life antagonist says even though they have never met. It is uncanny!
... I feel like I'm so low in consciousness or so in the dark that you cannot reach me. When You replied to my email I had a friend of my dad's come over to the resort to measure the land for building a resort / condominium. I find that some people are more connected to others and can see more than what some people see. I think Jack Schwager mentioned it in one of his books that some people (in his example, Market Wizards) have gotten so good that they become like the eye on top of the pyramid.
That's what I want to be. I don't know how to express that in other ways.
Before, I find myself delaying and eating trail mix instead of writing.
I find myself currently on the island of [Island], in a town named [Town]. My dad owns a small resort here that he is currently entrusting me with.
He also owns the assets of a dive shop who he entrusts someone else to run. They split the profit 50/50. I'm supposed to let people keep running things the way they're running them and not rock the boat. However when I do this I find that I diminish myself and my own capabilities and I wind up confused and not knowing what to do.
When I'm here I feel a bit isolated, so I'd like to thank you for choosing to connect with me.
As I wrote the above a couple of days ago it instantly happens. Instead of writing I stopped and went around outside and found three new people to have coffee with.
Thought I would report my progress.
On your Market Wizards interview, answering the question "How did you know when systems need to be changed?" you say "Systems don't need to be changed. The trick is for a trader to develop a system with which he is compatible."
Say there are two systems: A and B.
System A makes money over time.
System B is identical to system A, except for the fact that when system A produced a buy signal, system B produces a sell signal, and vice-versa.
If system A makes money, a "mirrored" system, such as B, would by definition lose money.
A trader employing system B would (and should!) look to change the system used.
Logically there are winning and loosing systems. The proposition that a system may need to be changed is therefore a true one, is it not?
Say you (A) put some cash in a bank savings account and earn some interest; the bank (B) receives the cash and pays interest.
You might notice that while A and B appear opposite, both parties might experience winning.
Say you grow some livestock and (A) sell it forward on a futures exchange; simultaneously, a supermarket (B) buys the same contract forward to hedge his margins. Both parties feel they win.
Or, perhaps more to the point, say you have some system that normally rides winners and cuts losers and you have a deep need to win arguments with the market. You don't like the feeling of having to acknowledge making "wrong" trades - so you override your protective stops and let losses run.
You might consider taking your feelings about <winning arguments> to Tribe as an entry point.
Yesterday I attend my fifth TT meeting.
I take the Hotseat first. I am concerned my cold will interfere with the process. I intend to explore the impatience I feel. Instead, the process has its own direction. I experience forms of the pressure I feel.
I continue to allow the process to take its own direction. I experience many forms. I focus on experiencing feelings and not rationalising.
At one point I cry. When I stop the darkness clears. The sky is clear and there is the freshness after a thunderstorm. At other points I experience forms of impatience.
At times I become serene, I think the process is complete. I feel guilty for taking the Hotseat for so long. My leader tells me the opportunity to experience the process occurs only every 3 or 4 weeks. This is an opportunity. He is skilled in recognising there is more. I return to experience more forms.
At one point pressure and impatience fall down on me. I look up and open my mouth. They fall into my mouth I feel strong I feel energised.
When I finish I feel happy with pressure, I feel happy with impatience. I feel happy with my position within my family. I feel tired.
This morning, I feel grounded. I feel balanced, indifferent to what I see and hear around me. I feel comfortable inside.
I would also like to attend a workshop in Europe.I benefit from my previous one as well as from my Tribe experiences and I feel ready to make more progress:the timing feels right to me.
I also have to congratulate you for identifying my "please people and then rebel" pattern right away and framing it as a major issue.
I wonder how you do it (in fact I feel envy towards your ability) and whether you have any further insights into the pattern, especially the rebelling part, or into how to develop a feel for identifying issues so quickly and uncannily.
It takes me a while to see it as well and over time I get a few insights into the pattern and come to know the warning signs of its onset.
I work on improving my response to them and I make progress, reducing both the frequency and the intensity of the drama, yet I feel the issue still lingers and keeps holding me back to some extent.
I also have to admit I come to see some of its payoffs, as I use my rebelling reaction as effective manipulative currency I exchange for various benefits and I also get to blame my failures and shortcomings on the obstacles and burdens other people "impose" on me.
Thank you for sharing your process and your insights.
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge - the impact it has on my trading and my life is immeasurable.
I feel confused by the following paragraph in "Trends" section of TSP project.
"After 5 days (the time constant) the Lag is about 16.72 or about 2/3 of the way to the new price. If we were to compound continuously, rather than once per day, the price would be, after 5 days, one "e" of the way from $10 to $20, where e, Euler's constant is about 0.5772."
The constant 'e' (Euler's number/Napier Constant) in continuous compounding is 2.71828, which is different from the Euler's constant 0.5772. The continuous rate of compounding to get to one "e" (0.5772) of the way from 10 to 20 i.e. 15.772 in 5 days works out to 9%.
I fail to connect 'e' (2.71828), the Euler's constant (0.5772) in the above paragraph to the ROC idea. I feel anxious about missing some insights.
Or is it your intention to baffle the reader and make him examine his own feelings of mathturbation.
Thank you for catching this error.
You have it right, Euler's Constant, e = 2.71828.
Euler's Other Constant, more precisely the Euler-Macheroni Constant, γ (gamma) = .5772156649 - representing the difference between the harmonic series of n and the natural logarithm of n as n approaches infinity.
I might guess that in preparing the column, I consult Internet for a precise value for Euler's Constant and copy the one for gamma rather than for e - without thinking about it.
By the principle of intentions = results, I gather my intention has to do with having you correct the error a decade after I publish it.
I greatly appreciate your prompt reply on the above-mentioned queries.
I still have some last few questions in mind.
1) I am from Singapore and will like to join the Trading Tribe. However, it is not within the country list. What should i do?
2) I will like to attend TTP Workshops when it is available. When is the next date/venue for it and how much will it cost?
1. You can start your own Tribe and you can also practice applying the principles with your friends, associates and family.
2. Watch FAQ for news on upcoming Workshops.

A Jerusalem tour simply wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Jewish Quarter in the Old City. The walled Old City is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with the Jewish quarter situated to the southeast corner. In 1948, the Old City was occupied by Jordon and most of the ancient buildings were destroyed. In 1967, however, when Israel regained control of the Old City, the remains were excavated and buildings reconstructed.
The Hurva Synagogue which dominated the skyline prior to its destruction in 1948 was not initially rebuilt because of disagreements. Instead, a commemorative arch was erected here and it was only in 2000 that work finally began on the reconstruction of the building - which was opened to the public in 2010. The Western Wall is located in the Jewish quarter, the remains of a temple wall built in the times of Herod. The Burnt House is the site of the remains of a house burnt down by the Romans in 70 AD. The house is also known as Katros House because of the inscription 'bar katros' which was discovered on weights in the house. The Cardo, or 'Cardo Maximus' is a Roman-Byzantine street featuring colonnades dating back to the sixth century AD. The Broad Wall is what remains of the thick city walls erected by Hizkiah at the time when the first temple existed, and visitors can see 45 meters of wall on display here.
The City of David, named after King David, is the oldest settlement in Jerusalem. King David established the city 3000 years ago, in order to unify the tribes of Israel, and his son, Solomon, built the First Temple on the northern border. The area is home to many archeological sites of interest including an intact underground water system.


The Solista, with its same 845 output tubes and tube rectification as the Aurora, and a preamp section based on the same amazing 6c45 tube that forms the heart of the spectacular Linea 45 preamp, delivers incredible bang-for-the-buck. Try to find any high-end linestage or amplifier at this price that can deliver the performance of the Solista, let alone do both for one price. Designer Amedeo Schembri is single-handedly challenging previous beliefs that the integrated amplifier must necessarily be inferior to separates. Again, through careful implementation of power supply design, combined with brilliantly creative, yet simple circuit topologies that employ only the finest, carefully selected components, Schembri has re-written the book on what is possible from a single chassis. This amplifier, which features remote volume control, delivers the heart and soul of the music like no other integrated amplifier in the world. The familiar Viva sound, which is both liquid, yet extended in both frequency extremes, brings all the power, impact and control of the big high-end contenders. Not for a moment, though, does it sacrifice the delicacy, emotion and sheer musicality, that, otherwise, only live music is able to evoke. Viva's top-of-the-line integrated is becoming famous at audio shows for making speakers "sound better than ever..." combining power and finesse to create a musical experience that can only be surpassed by Viva's own large monoblocks via the Linea 45 linestage.

Gérard Wiarda (* 4. September 1906 in Amsterdam; † 12. Juni 1988 in Den Haag), auch Gerardus Johannes Wiarda, war ein niederländischer Rechtswissenschaftler.

Leben
Gérard Wiarda wurde als Sohn von Jan Wiarda, einem Mitglied des Hohen Rates der Niederlande, und dessen Frau Carolina Georgina Louise Lucks 1906 in Amsterdam geboren. Von 1925 bis 1929 studierte er Jura an der Universität Amsterdam, anschließend praktizierte er als Rechtsanwalt in Rotterdam. Im Jahre 1932 schloss er mit Alexandra Moltzer den Bund der Ehe.

Nach seiner Tätigkeit als Anwalt saß er als Ersatzrichter und Richter im Bezirksgericht von Amsterdam. Die Universität Utrecht berief ihn 1947 zum Professor für Verwaltungsrecht, sein Engagement in der akademischen Lehre endete jedoch schon drei Jahre später, als er zum Richter am Hohen Rat der Niederlande ernannt wurde, an dem er bis 1976 wirkte. 1968 wählte man ihn dort zum Vizepräsidenten, 1972 zum Präsidenten.

Im September 1966 trat Wiarda die Nachfolge Frederik Mari Baron van Asbecks am Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte an. Nach zweimaliger Wiederwahl 1968 und 1977 übernahm er 1977 das Amt des Vizepräsidenten, und vier Jahre danach wurde er schließlich der sechste Präsident des Gerichtshofes. Im Mai 1985 legte er den Posten nieder und schied noch im selben Jahr aus dem EGMR aus. Seine letzten Lebensjahre waren von nachlassender Gesundheit geprägt. 81-jährig starb er in Den Haag.

Er war von 1958 bis 1976 Präsident der niederländischen Vereinigung für Verwaltungsrecht und seit 1964 Mitglied der  Königlich-Niederländischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. An der Universität Utrecht, seiner einstigen Wirkungsstätte, wurde 1998 das G.J. Wiarda Institut gegründet. Sein einflussreiches Werk "Drie typen van rechtsvinding" (deutsch "Die drei Typen der Rechtsfindung") wird heute zu den Klassikern der niederländischen Rechtsliteratur gezählt.

Issue 29: Porn
PATRICK STAFF: THE FOUNDATION, EROTICA AND QUEER LINEAGE
Recently presented at Brisbane's Institute of Modern Art, 'The Foundation' is an ambitious video work by British-born, Los Angeles-based artist Patrick Staff, that uses the iconic oeuvre and legacy of Tom of Finland to explore historic and intergenerational queer relationships. The video is made of two distinct halves. The first half is a lucid dream-like exploration of the house and grounds of the Tom of Finland Foundation in Echo Park, Los Angeles, and the people that maintain its archives of erotic art. The second half presents a contemporary theatre or dance production set within a purpose-built sound stage that Staff had designed and constructed as part of a residency in the sprawling studio and industrial spaces of Bristol's Spike Island.
The film considers the cultural legacy of Touko Laaksonen, better known by his nom de plume of Tom of Finland. Born in 1920, Laaksonen's childhood was spent in rural Finland, where his parents, both schoolteachers, encouraged Laaksonen's artistic tendencies.1 Coupled with early realisations about his sexuality, the grounds for his future artistic work were defined by the heroic, masculine rural tropes of the farmhand or stableboy, and later by Laaksonen's conscription into the military during World War II, after some years in Helsinki where he studied advertising. When Stalin invaded Finland in 1939, Laaksonen was drafted as a lieutenant, and embraced casual sexual encounters with fellow male soldiers. When German soldiers arrived, he took particular interest in their distinctive leather jackboots, worn as part of their standard issue uniforms. In a number of ways, Laaksonen's sexual experiences at war came to play a significant role in defining a then predominantly gay male culture of leather.2 A focus on leather gear and play became a distinct theme in the drawings of Tom of Finland, soldiers doling out punishment, and establishing the grounds for military roleplay and fetishisation that would take place in future decades, outside the context of actual warfare.
Patrick Staff, The Foundation (2015). Installation view
Patrick Staff completed undergraduate studies at Goldsmiths, South London—a school renowned as the incubator of the Young British Artists including Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas and Michael Landy.3 To this day, in comparison to London's other visual arts colleges, the school has a reputation for encouraging a 'hot house' style competitivity between fellow students, placing importance on criticism and supporting, even idolising sole authorship. Staff's early practice was informed by a resistance to this environment. In many ways, his practice is founded in a resistance to the art market and the commercialisation of art-making—their interests lie in an engagement with collectivity and an ongoing focus on maligned social groups and counterculture.4 Of particular interest to Staff are the Free Festivals in the United Kingdom, which came to prominence in 1972 with the Windsor Free Festival. The Free Festival was a sprawling, open-to-all rural gathering of travellers and free spirits. It resisted increased economic pressure to embrace urban living and came to define a key meeting of subcultures.5 These countercultural movements were catalysed by the current political or cultural climate of the nation, and a collapse of community or communal spirit. Today, in our era of late capitalism, scenes of Woodstock-style inclusion and love encourage sneers and contempt from conservative society. Staff sees productivity in new age thinking, and an inherent resistance to structure and convention.
In their 2012 Tate Modern commission, Staff brought together these interests in collectivity and grassroots activism. They presented Chewing Gum for the Social Body, a performance work for the newly restored Tanks spaces, combining improvisational and free form dancing with more structured, classical styles such as ballet. Within these styles, Staff set about to erode preconceptions of these dance forms, revealing opportunities for transgression in ballet's rigidity, and vice versa.6
During the development of the work, Staff travelled to Los Angeles to visit the Tom of Finland Foundation. Situated in a typical suburban LA home, the building was purchased in 1970 by the Foundation, and considered firstly as a commune—at the time, Echo Park, where the house was situated, was the centre of Los Angeles' gay leather scene. Laaksonen had made initial moves into the United States of America on the back of a number of exhibition opportunities in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.7 During these visits, Laaksonen had connected with high profile artists including Robert Mapplethorpe who was an ongoing supporter of the art of Tom of Finland. In 1981, with the help of his friend Durk Dehner, they established the Tom of Finland Foundation. With the remit of preserving the significant collection and archive of Laaksonen's work, the Foundation also encourages the support and promotion of erotic art for future audiences.
The Tom of Finland aesthetic consists of burly muscled men, leather, uniforms and punishment mixed with pleasure. Laaksonen described a need he felt to counteract a mid century stereotype of gay men as predominantly effeminate and dainty.8 His are hyper masculine images that attempt to rebalance preconceived notions of gay men, sometimes to a point of overcompensation. Figures verge on the hyper real—their billowing, bulging muscles testing the strength of the clothes they wear. Bulges in their blue denim jeans threaten to burst through their zippers.
In some ways, it feels a little like the establishment of a binary. The question being for gay men who do not fit in either camps, how and where does one find the middle ground? As much as Patrick Staff's work is about the Tom of Finland Foundation, it is also very much about existing outside of or between these terms of reference that Laaksonen, to a certain degree, helped define.
Under these terms, Staff arrived at the Foundation expecting white gloves and pristine archival conditions. Staff was surprised to find a community built on the shared interest of Tom of Finland.9 It is a space of acceptance, structured around and within the history of gay erotica. In an interview between S.R. Sharp, the Vice President of the Tom of Finland Foundation and Staff in the accompanying exhibition catalogue, Sharp discusses the reasons for this:
The story is—they often tell us—that they were in a small town, in the Mid-west or Upper State New York, and they went into the drug store and they saw Physique Pictorial there. Tom of Finland's work was on the cover and they went, "Ah, oh my God!" For the first time they realised they weren't alone. The desire, the figures they saw on the front, they could identify with. And it wasn't just 'beefcakey' pictures— there was a gaze—a desire between two men, or three men and they connected with that. They realised that the feelings they had had were validated; that someone else felt like that.10
The footage from the first half of Staff's film The Foundation is captured on location, within the context sketched out by Sharp in the above quote. Locked-off shots of the interior of the house/museum show the domestic nature of the spaces—it is lived in, and active with energy. At one point the camera shifts outside; down near the laundry, a load of washing is spinning. Staff, filming on an iPhone, tilts the view around the garden, bright sunshine trickling downwards through palms. At another point, a Labrador sits on a dog bed inside the house. A man enters the shot and begins speaking, presumably at Staff, before noting that the camera is rolling. The feeling is of a casual, welcoming space—a home environment, which also functions as a cultural archive.
Mixed in amongst these more typical relaxed, domestic scenes, Staff's eye captures smaller details that speak to the Tom of Finland aesthetic: aged biker boots; military uniforms on coat hangers; white plaster busts of muscled torsos; glossy black leather lounges; the Foundation's basement dungeon, replete with shackles; a bathroom shelf of pump dispensers and a drooping silicone dildo. We also see the workspaces of the Foundation's staff, collection storage, filing and scanning equipment. Staff discusses in the publication that it is the sort of place where, if you stand around for a period of time, you are given a job.11 In Staff's case, Dehner asked Staff to assist with digitising their archive of analogue film—a mixture of donated porn from the 1960s and further back, as well as films that the Foundation began to make itself in the 1980s and 1990s. Staff includes some of the video work that they personally digitised, such as documentation of a leather party in the early 1990s. In 2012, we see a number of the Foundation's volunteers organise a party for Tom's birthday. Staff was the projectionist for the evening, and screened a selection of the digitised 8mm pornos from the archives. At one point in the evening, we see a man step in front of the projector—writhing bodies light up his chest and his body becomes a screen.12
With this image lingering in our minds, the film shifts to a quasi-theatre set, constructed by Staff in the cavernous spaces of Spike Island, Bristol. Here we see Staff, replete in a leather chest harness, hair up and eyes did, joined onstage by a Tom of Finland-esque 'daddy' figure—big-bearded and older. A porno soundtrack (that Staff stumbled across while digitising the Foundation's archive) begins to play. The two figures move in unison, dancing in time but apart. At certain points the bearded figure touches Staff, moving arms, hands and fingers to specific poses—directing Staff's head by chin and forehead, shifting Staff's gaze. Between these scenes, we cut to Staff and the bearded figure organising papers on set. Filing and categorising, their lubed hands leaving oily marks on the pages. Suddenly we cut to a shot of the set. The figures have gone. Instead, a billowing, libidinal cloud of foam or bubbles envelopes the stage, smothering a line of worn, black leather boots. Then we cut to Staff again, but now their hair is swept sideways, with fake lashes in place and rouged lips. The film jumps between the bearded figure and Staff, who is dressed in the bearded figure's clothes. And then, some dialogue from the bearded figure, who declares to us and to Staff down the barrel of the camera: 'Don't worry, you'll grow into it, being a man.'
As much as it is a place of inclusion and acceptance, Staff discusses at length in the accompanying publication that there was a sense of presumption about Staff's gender upon arrival in 2012 at the Foundation—that by being welcomed into this family as a gay man, Staff was coded that way.13 Staff mentions in passing Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity, identif[ying] it as "the experience of standing underneath a sign that you simultaneously do and do not belong to"—that there is more to identity than identifying either with or against a dominant culture.14
At the time that Staff made the work, they were considering more fully their own gender identity and embracing a non-binary position, parallel to being inducted into a cultural structure focused on archivally protecting and maintaining hyper-masculine tropes. The second half of the film reflects upon the expectation in that line of dialogue—of growing into being a man—the anticipation that it is an identity that Staff has a responsibility to inhabit. Returning to Staff's discussion with S.R. Sharp, the Tom of Finland Foundation Curator, the two consider the importance of history and legacy for a historically misrepresented and repressed minority; that to document and archive a culture's own construction of how they wanted to be represented is an incredibly important thing. Of course, this representation is still presumptuous—it is neither conclusive nor correct for all, but in its success is the potential for expanded terms for queer identity and self-determination. Sharp mentions his "fantasy" to Staff—that being queer would soon be seen as "…very, very natural [with] no societal attachments…"15 Collectively, we all have a responsibility that is greater than mere tolerance. Staff, eloquently, engages us in this role in conclusion:
Society grants us very little freedom in our gender. To paraphrase Terre Thaemlitz, 'I' am always in relation to 'you', which means the potential for flexibility around my gender identifications is only as malleable or fluid as 'you' will allow.16

Bristol Hotel, Colombo

Post subject: Bristol Hotel, Colombo
A relation of mine stayed in the Bristol Hotel in Colombo in November 1913. Does anyone know what became of it and where exactly it was?

Post subject: Bristol Hotel
Bristol Hotel is not there any more. In 1890, A.W.A. Plâté and Co. was founded by A.W.A. Plâté and his wife Clara in a studio in the Bristol Hotel, Colombo. The business moved to larger premises in Colpetty in 1892. This is a postcard of that studio, I guess?

Source: Sri Lanka Genealogy Website
Sometime, in the latter part of the 1800's, Colombo was a green city. Life, then, was simple and leisurely, calm and quiet and peaceful in many ways. There were one horse carriages and rickshaws, drawn by scrawny brown men, plying along the Galle Road in the midst of the Fort that skirted the harbor which opened out to the Indian Ocean on the west.
The name is supposed to be derived from the Sinhalese "Kola" & "Amba" meaning leafy mango tree, a tree with leave only and no fruit. Thus giving KOLAMBA which has evolved into COLOMBO. Another conjecture is that the name may have been derived from the fact that the Moor traders used to bring their boats in down the Kelani river through the KELANITOTA (Kelani Port), which evolved into KOLONTOTA and thereafter KALAMBO. The Portuguese contribution is that the name has links to Columbus.
Streets and edifices have been a significant feature of Colombo from its very early days. One of the most striking buildings, even visible from the sea as reported by the Portuguese was the Colombo Grand Mosque, supposed to have been built by the Arab traders in 1505, located at New Moor Street. All old maps from the Portuguese era show this Mosque very significantly.
Chatham Street, intersected by Queens Street on the west and York Street further east were the main streets that housed both businesses and homes. Prince Street, parallel to Chatham Street ran straight down joining up with Main Street which flowed into the Pettah. The Grand Oriental Hotel, commonly referred to as the GOH, stood magnificent and tall by the port. Today it has been converted to the Hotel Taprobane with all its fineries and modern trappings. Bristol Street stood on York Street with its polished wooden stairway. The Globe Hotel and British India were noted for their watering services to the thirsty and weary. Trees lined all the streets in beautiful cascades of brown and green enveloping the area in splendor.
York Street bordered the eastern wall and moat of the old Dutch Fort. This stretch gave way to the Registrar General's office, the Bristol Hotel, the National Bank of India, and Victoria Arcade. Later, they too gave way to the more modern structures of concrete that have surfaced today.
Baillie Street, now Mudalige Mawatha, was wedged in between Chatham Street and Prince Street, parallel to both, and serviced the tourists with their needs of trinkets, souvenir's, tea, Jewellery and gems.
Queen's House, now referred to as President's House, stood on Queen Street, bringing back memories of so many memorable days of Portuguese, Dutch and British political rule, power and fisticuffs.
The lighthouse clock tower stood gallantly at the intersection of Chatham Street and Queen Street where it still stands tall to this day in 2005. It was first built in 1857 and its conception and planning was carried out as far back as 1815.
Royal College stood in its old green location past the Fort Railway Station by the lush green plains of that area called Captains Gardens. The Galle Face Green stretched out from the Fort towards the Galle Face Hotel that clung to the western coastline where the land extended towards the south of the island.
The Beira Lake boasted of an opulence of inland water that stood right in the center of the city of Colombo running its rivulets to various parts of the city in streams and canals. The lake was named "Beira" to commemorate the name of the Dutch Engineer Johann de Beira in AD 1700, who constructed the mouth and water defences of the Dutch Fort. The lake, a long established part of Colombo, was originally an extensive "reach of flood water" from the Kelani River. It was originally called Lagoon by the Portuguese and was filled with alligators and crocodiles, thus giving the name Kayman's Gate for a nearby street.
The military barracks, referred to as Echelon Square now, stood towards the Galle Face. St. Josephs College, the premier Roman Catholic educational institution in the city, lay more eastwards from the lake, amidst tall palms and beautiful flowering trees.
The Victoria Park, referred to now as the Vihara Maha Devi Park, stood sprawling in its lush green and vegetaion in Cinnamon Gardens.
The main towns of Colombo where people mingled and action permeated daily life were, the Fort, Pettah, Hultsdorf, and Mutuwal in the north.
It was on the 3rd of Sep 1802 that the last Dutch Governor of Colombo, van Angelbeck, killed himself for having capitulated to the British. He was buried next to his wife, Vrouw Angelbeck's coffin in the crumbling Chapel that was used to bury eminent Dutch persons. Others who were buried there were Hertenberg, Vreeland, Van Eck, & Falk.
Angelbecks niece, Jacomina Gertrude, daughter of Van der Graaf and wife of Hon George Melville Leslie (an English Civil Servant), was his only heir. She inherited the massive mansion, Queens House (named after Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne) then and is called President House now, and the largest and most opulent in the Fort at that time. However, she was compelled to sell the house to the Government for 35,000 Rix Dollars on account of monies owed to the state by her husband who was the Paymaster General and was subject to the shortage of a sum of over 10,000 Pounds to his utter embarrassment. The deed of transfer was confirmed and completed on January 17 1804. The street on which it is located was originally referred to as KingsStreet, then changed to Queen Street and now has now been renamed to Presidents (Janadhipathi Mawatha) Avenue.
The British Raj, who took over colonial power from the Dutch in 1796, appointed John MacDowall of the Madras Service as the administrator of the city of Colombo. He was also the Collector. At that time it was estimated that the city had around 50,000 inhabitants. The Dutch and Portuguese continued to live in their occupied residences in the Pettah while the Sinhalese, Tamils and Moors preferred to live in the suburbs. The Brits too preferred the Fort and divided it into quarters based on its principal roads.
It was towards the end of 1798 that Frederik North arrived and was appointed the fist Civil Governor of Ceylon by the Brits. He brought a handpicked band of civil servants along with him to run the islands administrative affairs. Among them were Eudelin de Jonville and Antony bertolacci, a Frenchman.
One of the most noted of North's many duties was 'Christianization', and towardsthat end an academy was established where the sons of rich Sinhalese, Indians and Europeans studied together. By 1801 there were 170 parish schools in the island and 342,000 native Protestants in addition to greater number of Roman Catholics, a legacy of the Portuguese era of colonialism.
Governor North was succeeded by Sir Thomas Maitland. He preferred to live by the sea at Mount Lavinia, a few kilometers south of the city of Colombo. He was responsible for moving the tombs of the Dutch interred at the Chapel in the Fort to be re-buried at the premises of the Wolfendhaal Church in the Pettah. However, when the coffins were finally moved, under a very impressive military guard and parade of fife and drums, it was General Sir Robert Brownrigg Bart, who was Governor. He was flanked by the Chief Justice, Hon Sir Alexander Johnston and the Puisne Justice, the Hon Mr William Coke.
Colombo, even had its first circulating library in 1801, run by Michael Loghlin, a merchant who had sailed in from Madras. He also ran an auction house. Many other European houses and businesses soon sprang up in the Fort. Many of those who managed these businesses were retired sea captains who found that this was a lucrative opportunity to further their careers. Amongst them were L.D. Bussch, George Steuart, George Boyd, James Steuart, F. B. Montcur, John Pierre Jummeaux, W. C. Gibson and George Winter. There was also an English watchmaker.
The Sinhalese referred to the Pettah as "Pita Kotuwa" meaning "outside the Fort" which was what it really was and is to this day. The Pettah still houses the many wholesale and retail businesses and vendors as it used to before. Although most of the business in Colombo has now been decentralized to the many smaller towns within the Pettah still stands tall as the hub of key business activity. The Central bus station is located in the Pettah and the Fort Railway Station also lies within its perimeter. It is from these two hallowed echelons of public transportation that the thousands of daily workers, tradesmen and ordinary people commute to and from the city. Many famous men of that era used to live in the Pettah. One was Sir Richard Morgan, Queens Advocate, who was born in Prince Street in 1821. Gradually the resident population moved to other localities like Hultsdorp, San Sebastian, Messenger Street, and Dias Place.
The Mudaliyars lived around the Wolfendaal and many of them were housed on Silversmith Street. Udugaha Mudaliya, grandfather of SWRD Bandaranaike, Sir Thomas de Sampayo, and a member of the Legislative Council, James D' Alwis who was also a well known oriental scholar lived down this street.
The Nattukottai Chettiars, who were descendants of those who had migrated from South India, were mostly involved as money changers, pawn brokers, and Jewellery manufacturers, distributors and retailers. They lived and conducted their businesses in and around New Chetty Street, which was named after them, and further at Grandpass. Queen's Advocate Selby lived in a mansion called Selby House which latyer went on to become the premises of M/S Heptulabhoy & Co, a flourishing export oriented business run by a Borah merchant who renamd it to Selby Stores.
Mutuwal too became a very fashionable suburb for residency. The Brit Collector of Customs had his home there adjoining the salt lake. The Auditor General, H A Marshall built three large residences, Rock House, Whist Bungalow and Modera House. Rock House was occupied by Sir William Coke, the Chief Justice. The Armitages occupied Modera House and Whist Bungalow was the residence of an English gentleman. Later, Sir Richard Morgan purchased Whist Bungalow on which he spent large sums of money re-decorating and refurbishing it in very lavish fineries. It is said that this extravagance almost reduced him to near bankruptcy at the time of his death and that his ghost does haunt the place ever since.
Other Mutuwal people were C A Lorensz, who later moved to Karlshrue in Borella, near the present Welikada Prison. Also four eminent personnel of the Tamil community, Sir Ponnabmbalam Arunachalam, Sir Muttu Coomaraswamy, and Sir Ponnambalam Ramanathan lived in Mutuwal. Arunachalam later moved to Cinnamon Gardens, which eventually became the most fashionable and rich neighborhood within the city of Colombo.
The other towns that sprouted and bloomed and provided decent living for the rich and the famous were Kollupitiya (Colombo 3), Bambalapitiya (Colombo 4), Havelock Town (Colombo 5), and Wellawatte (Colombo 6).
One of the most famous of residence in Colombo 3 was Alfred House owned by Charles de Soysa. Its extensive grounds stretch from the plush residential areas of Bagatelle to School Lane and from Galle Road to Thurstan Road.
The Brits also set up the first botanical garden in Colombo at Kew Road in Slave Island (Colombo 2), after Kew Gardens in England. Slave Island later became to be known as Company Street or Kompanna Vidiya on account of the Rifle Regiment that was atationed there down Rifle Street.
Maradana (Colombo 10), the "Sandy Plains", grew the best cinnamon of all in Colombo. Today it is one of the most congested parts of the whole city of Colombo.
In 1824, the population of Colombo was 31,188 of which 734 were in the Fort, 4,979 in the Pettah, and 25,475 were located beyond the Pettah. In 1871 the population of Colombo rose to 98,843 and in 1936 to 511,639. Today the city is almost 90 times as dense as it was in 1936 and its area has also expanded from 9.45 square miles in 1881 to 14.32 square miles in 1963. The Greater Colombo area today encompasses almost 38 square miles.
In Rosemead Place, in the Cinnamon Gardens locality, a palatial home called "Tintagel" was bought by the late Prime Minister SWRD Bandaranaike who lived in it until he was assassinated in 1958. His family continue to live there to date.
The official residence of the Prime Minsiter, "Temple Trees", down Galle Road at Kollupitiya (Colombo 3), was originally occupied by the Lieutenant Governor, and thereafter, the Colonial Secretary. Other notable structures were the Sravasti in Edinburgh Crescent, Mackinnon House which is now the Central Hospital, Torrington House, property of W H Figg of Whittal & Co which was then occupied by the Governor Sir Herbert Stanley when Queens House was under maintenance.

First electric light in Ceylon
Another interesting piece of information is that the Billiard Room at Bristol Hotel in Colombo Fort was the first premises in Ceylon lit by an electric lamp in 1890.
By the way, the first electric light seen in Ceylon was on 26th of June 1882 from a German Ship called S.S. Helios, sailed in to the Colombo Harbor.

Just thought you may care to know that amongst an old photograph and sketch book I recently bought , was a post card issued by the Bristol Hotel Colombo around 1912. It shows a colour drawing of the Hotel and on the reverse The Room Tafiffs and cost of Boat Hire , Rickshaw Hire and Carriage Hire. It also gives distances from the Hotel to places of interest i.e. Race Course 3 miles.

Il castello di Birr (in inglese,  Birr Castle) è un vasto maniero situato nella cittadina di Birr, nell'Offaly, contea centrale dell'Irlanda. È la dimora del settimo conte di Rosse.

I giardini
La costruzione, non aperta al pubblico in quanto proprietà privata, è in stile vittoriano e si erge su una tenuta ben curata e molto estesa. Quest'ultima, invece aperta ai visitatori, è vasta più di cinquanta ettari ed è composta da enormi giardini e terreni, eredi di un parco perfettamente conservato del XVII secolo, con un enorme collezione botanica di oltre quattromila alberi e arbusti di vario genere. Il punto più interessante di questi giardini è senz'altro quello murato, con un tunnel che passa per il centro.

Molte delle piante sono cresciute dalla piantagione installata dopo un viaggio in Cina dei Parsons, prima della seconda guerra mondiale, mentre le altre sono state curate dai parenti dei proprietari dalla flora irlandese. Particolarmente apprezzate sono le composizioni di magnolie, camelie, rododendri e azalee.

Il Leviathan of Parsonstown
La principale attrazione del castello è il Great Telescope (grande telescopio), conosciuto anche come  Leviathan of Parsonstown, costruito da William Parsons terzo conte di Rosse nel 1845.

Il telescopio astronomico, con una lente di 72 pollici, fu usato per molto tempo fino ai primi anni del '900. Fu detentore del record di dimensioni per molto tempo, sorpassato solo nel 1917 dal Telescopio Hooker, grande 100 pollici. Fu smontato nel 1914, ma è riuscito successivamente il restauro che ne consente oggi la visita al pubblico.

Bank employee had no knowledge of solicitors' accounting rules, court told
By Gabriella Peralta Share
The Jyske Bank employee who oversaw Marrache & Co's accounts until the law firm collapsed told the Supreme Court yesterday that he had received no formal training on the rules governing solicitors' client accounts.
Senior Credit Administrator Bill Bishop, who oversaw all Marrache & Co accounts at Jyske Bank from 2003 until the solicitor's firm collapsed in 2010, said he did not know client accounts could not be overdrawn.
The evidence was heard during the fourth day of a case in which the liquidators of Marrache & Co, Edgar Lavarello and Adrian Hyde, are suing Jyske Bank.
The liquidators claim the bank provided "dishonest assistance" to the firm's senior partners Benjamin, Isaac and Solomon Marrache, all of whom were later jailed for fraud.
They hope to recover approximately £6.7m of client money in different currencies from the bank, with millions more in interest.
Yesterday, the court heard that Marrache & Co had been a client of the bank prior to Mr Bishop's promotion to account manager, having opened accounts in 2001.
Mr Bishop told the court that he did not know of the "solicitor's accounts rules" when he managed Marrache & Co's account.
He explained he had been told the Marraches were reputable and had trusted the brothers.

The Continuum: Beyond the Killing Fields will tour to Stockholm and Oslo in Feb 06.
Based on Pol Pot's massacre of the royal court dancers of Cambodia, this documentary performance has played in USA, Berlin, Rotterdam, Vienna, Singapore, Phnom Penh and London. The real life story of seventy-five year old Em Theay, master dancer of royal classical dance in Cambodia. This is a unique form of dance which has women cross-dressing in male roles. Em Theay has survived the scourge of the Khmer Rouge to live on, teaching her skills to the national troupe after the trauma. This story of dance passed through generations of mothers and daughters becomes all the more horrific when one learns that nine out of ten royal dancers, musicians, actors, playwrights, poets, artists were killed by Pol Pot in his fanatical attempt to set his country back to year zero.
Em Theay, often known as the tenth dancer – the one who survived, tells her story. Persecuted for being an artist, she never falters, a conscience, a memory of the gash which tore Cambodia apart…after 25 years Cambodia still waits for its war crimes trials to come to fruition.


A real human molar tooth wrapped in a brass or silver plated brass snake on a long chain .
This is a large 2 rooted molar. The snake coiled around it is vintage dead stock brass. I silver plate the snake finding for the silver version myself. The snake adds some weight to the tooth and makes it hang nice and heavy so its on a longer 25 inch chain with a lobster clasp.
The gold option is on a brass chain with a lobster clasp, the silver version is on a white nickel chain with a lobster clasp. I can put this on a nickel free chain by request but please be advised the silver plated chain is much brighter than the plated brass snake so they're not an exact color match.

Bizarre Brain-Implant Experiment Sought to "Cure" Homosexuality
In 1970 a psychiatrist at Tulane University electrically stimulated the brain of a gay man while he had sex with a female prostitute
By John Horgan on October 13, 2017
Dr. Robert Heath of Tulane University, who performed brain-implant experiments on human patients from 1950 until the 1970s, claimed that he had successfully treated schizophrenics and a homosexual. Credit: Tulane University
To help my students appreciate how science reflects cultural prejudices, I often cite examples from psychiatry. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, which the American Psychiatric Association compiles as a guide to diagnosis and treatment of illness, listed homosexuality as a "sociopathic personality disturbance" in the DSM-I, published in 1952, and as a "sexual deviation" in the DSM-II, published in 1968 (see Further Reading).
Homosexuality has been treated with lobotomies, chemical castration, electrical shocks and nausea-inducing drugs as well as psychotherapy. I then tell my students about a bizarre gay-conversion experiment carried out in 1970 by a leading brain-implant researcher, Dr. Robert G. Heath of Tulane University in New Orleans.
I mentioned Heath in my recent profile of Jose Delgado, a pioneer in the use of brain implants to manipulate patients' minds and behavior. Heath was arguably even more ambitious than Delgado in his experiments, and he was not a fringe figure. He had degrees in psychiatry and neurology from Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania.
In 1949 he founded Tulane's department of psychiatry and neurology. He oversaw the department until 1980 but continued working into the 1990s. In his 1996 book Exploring the Mind-Brain Relationship, he reviews his career and speculates that someday "biological methods" might make it possible "for man to live in harmony with his fellow man."
I first learned about Heath's work from The 3-Pound Universe, a marvelous 1986 overview of brain research by journalists Judith Hooper and Dick Teresi. Beginning in 1950, they report, Heath implanted electrodes in patients, most of whom "came out of the dimly lit back wards of the state mental hospitals. With dental burrs, Heath and his co-workers drilled through the patients' skulls, guided the electrodes into specific sites, and then left them there, at first for a few days, later for years at a time."
Early on Heath recorded signals from the brain to determine which sites were associated with sensations such as rage, fear, pain and pleasure. Eventually he used electrodes to stimulate the brain with electricity. He claimed that stimulation could induce fear, rage, sexual pleasure, hilarity and other emotions and ameliorate schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses.
Heath was particularly interested in the septal region, which had been linked to pleasure. Heath claimed stimulation of the septal region "could make homicidal mania, suicide attempts, depressions or delusions go away—sometime for a long time," Hooper and Teresi stated.
Heath filmed patients as he stimulated their brains. Many observers of the films saw Heath as a disturbing, "Strangelovian figure," Hooper and Teresi said, but they found him to be "compassionate" and "almost courtly" in interactions with patients. (In 2005 I tried without success to get permission from Tulane to view Heath's films. Tulane also declined to give me permission to use any photos of Heath except the one above.)
Heath described his homosexuality experiment in two papers published in 1972: "Septal Stimulation for the Initiation of Heterosexual Behavior in a Homosexual Male," co-written with Charles Moan, in Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry; and "Pleasure and Brain Activity in Man," in Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. The following information and quotes are from the latter paper.
The experiment involved "patient B-19," a 24-year-old man with a history of epilepsy, depression, drug abuse and homosexuality. He was in police custody for marijuana possession when he agreed to serve as Heath's subject. For the previous three years, Heath wrote, B-19 had "led the life of a vagrant, experimenting with drugs, engaging in numerous homosexual relationships and being supported financially by his homosexual partners."
Heath drilled holes in B-19's skull and inserted electrodes in several brain regions, including the septal area. For limited periods of time, Heath gave B-19 a push-button device that allowed him to electrically stimulate different regions of his own brain. B-19 soon began obsessively zapping his septal region.
"On one occasion he stimulated his septal region 1,200 times" during a three-hour period, Heath wrote, "on another occasional 1,500 times, and on a third occasion 900 times. He protested each time the unit was taken from him." The patient "reported feelings of pleasure, alertness and warmth (good will)" and "sexual arousal."
B-19, who had never had heterosexual intercourse before and found it "repugnant," "began showing increasing interest in female ward personnel," Heath asserted. When Heath showed B-19 a heterosexual "stag film," he "became increasingly aroused, had an erection, and masturbated to orgasm."
Later Heath stimulated B-19's septal region while he had intercourse with a 21-year-old female prostitute supplied by Heath. The patient "achieved successful penetration, which culminated in a highly satisfactory orgiastic response, despite the milieu and the encumbrances of the lead wires to the electrodes," Heath wrote in Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease.
Heath described the B-19 experiment to Hooper and Teresi in more casual language. He told them that he paid a "lady of the evening" $50 to participate in the experiment. The room where the experiment took place was "blacked out with curtains," Heath said. "In the next room we had the instruments for recording his brain waves, and he had enough lead wire running into the electrodes in his brain so he could move about freely. We stimulated him a few times, the young lady was very cooperative, and it was a very successful experience."
Heath contended that B-19 remained heterosexual after the experiment and had a 10-month affair with a married woman. But a recent review of his work casts doubt on that claim. And in his 1973 book Brain Control, neuropsychologist Elliot Valenstein criticized Heath, Delgado and other brain-implant researchers for conducting sloppy research and hyping their results. In a recent interview, Valenstein accused Heath of "lack of controls… reading what he wanted into the data, and other experimental errors."
The American Psychiatric Association, after a protracted debate, stopped including homosexuality in the DSM in 1987. But as The Guardian reported last year, groups around the world still practice gay-conversion therapies, including ones involving electric shocks. Research on brain implants for treating mental disorders continues, but no one, as far as I know, is using implants to convert homosexuals.
Historical overviews of gay-conversion therapy and the DSM categorization of homosexuality can be found in Wikipedia and in a 2015 article in Behavioral Sciences, respectively. The latter quotes Edmund Bergler, a prominent psychoanalyst, saying in his 1956 book Homosexuality: Disease or Way of Life: "I have no bias against homosexuals; for me they are sick people requiring medical help... Still, though I have no bias, I would say: Homosexuals are essentially disagreeable people, regardless of their pleasant or unpleasant outward manner."
