For all the lovers of non-air conditioned trains, noisy ceiling fans, but comfy seats, Friday, January 27 will be the last run of the H4 class cars on the TTC.
Run 64 will leave Greenwood Yard eastbound at 7:27am to Kennedy, make a round trip to Kipling, and then run back to the yard at 9:44.
As more of the Toronto Rocket trains enter service on Yonge, they will replace the H5 and H6 fleets, and the BD line will become an all T1 route. The last of the TRs now on order are for the Spadina/Vaughan extension opening in 2015.
This entry was posted in Subway Cars, Vehicles. Bookmark the permalink.
What's the latest date TRs could be ordered for the B-D line without a break in production?
Steve: Two issues here. First off, the T-1s are nowhere near retirement and it would be a huge waste of capital to replace them in the 2015 timeframe. Second, even after the Spadina order, the TTC will not have enough TRs to completely convert YUS to that fleet, and will therefore not be able to run ATO on the line unless they retrofit some of the T-1s. This I understand to be very expensive as the T-1 cars were not designed for this sort of retrofit, and it would be a big investment in cars that were by then at most 15 years from retirement. There is no justification for churning out new cars at Thunder Bay forever just to keep Bombardier in small change. They do have other products and customers.
The ceiling fans were classic. They still have ceiling fans in the Montreal Metro cars. The comfy seats on the H4's were really well…comfy but they weren't very sanitary. They attracted a lot of grime.
Are all of the TR's from the first production run in deployment?
Steve: No. We're not even 25% there yet. The first order is 60 trainsets.
I can't exactly say that the TRs have had any noticeable effect on reducing overcrowding on the Yonge line. This line is a sardine can from 6am-10pm daily. No one seems to understand that they can walk between the cars, or that they are allowed to stand in the space between the cars on the new trains. (I guess I will have to continue regularly walking up Yonge Street from downtown to my apartment instead of taking the subway, in order to avoid the sardine can and conserve tokens which have become 10 cents more expensive this year. It's a nice walk if you have spare time to do it).
Thought they would still be around to end the short-turning of trains at St. Clair West station. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer, but that would be a service improvement, and we can't have that, can we?
Steve: It's been in the fleet plan for a few years, but keeps getting cut out of the service budget. I think it might happen later this year, maybe, and the short-turn will move to Glencairn using the pocket track south of Lawrence West.
Any chance there may be a "farewell" charter trip?
Steve: There was an attempt to organize one, but the TTC's restrictions and cost quotes went into the stratosphere. It didn't happen.
When the T1's need to be retired, the TR's will move to the Bloor-Danforth and Sheppard while the Y-U-S gets new trains.
Steve: Don't count on it. For one thing, it takes far more trains to operate YUS as it will be by that time as it takes for Bloor. That's a problem with the TTC's current fleet plans. Originally they were going to have compatible fleets, and it didn't matter if some T1s stayed behind on Yonge. Now their plans require an all TR operation on YUS. Ooops!
So how long does it take to come out from the yards onto Greenwood Station? I want to ride it.
Steve: Not very long at all, a minute maybe.
Shame the TTC could care less about quality seating. While other transit agencies in the GTA are investing in high-back seats for their buses, the TTC still opts for the basic and moderately comfortable seating.
Fortunately this will change with the new streetcars, but it would be nice to see these on our new subways and buses.
Don't forget that Greenwood would need retrofits for TRs, especially if YUS were to have deployment issues from Wilson related to higher frequencies from Finch as demand grows.
Forgetting about terminal crossover limitations for a moment, if every train on YUS is not a TR under ATO, then how are they going to run the closer headways they promised, squeeze 35% more capacity out of the line, and keep arguing that a DRL is not needed?
Even with ATO, I don't believe they can work around the terminal crossover constraints and reduce headways by interlacing short-turns. Only the continuous YUS loop proposal from the 90s could have gotten things down to 90 seconds (in theory), and then that would only work if the Bloor Stn. dwell times could be significantly reduced with a center platform. If you're going to go to all that trouble, you're better off just building a new subway line.
Steve: But the TTC wants to squeeze every last ounce of capacity out of the YUS before building a Downtown Relief Line, even if they have to invent future capacity potential and ignore obvious constraints. In some ways, they are almost as bad as Mayor Ford, almost, but not quite.
No more fan rattling alarmingly over my head causing fear that the whole assembly is going to land on my head. No more humid air blown right in my face. No more rattling and narrow doors. Oh happy day!
I started commuting from Mississauga to a summer job downtown around the time that the Montreal trains were nearing the end of their life. I remember always being on the lookout for them, and it would make my day if one arrived while I was waiting. The best thing about them was that the conductors still used whistles to signal the door closing (the TTC never installed the door chimes on those cars, since they weren't expected to be around much longer at that time). It was glorious. The grey, blue and powder yellow interior probably looked dated to most commuters, but to me it was beautifully retro. And there were the odd quirks that differentiated them from their later cousins (non-backlit ad panels; window shape in the doors; asymmetrical seating pattern). I was so disappointed when the last one finally left the rails.
Oddly, I have no such nostalgia whatsoever about the H4s. Noisy as hell, non-air conditioned, and I'm pretty sure I lost an umbrella underneath one of the seats. Never seemed to bother me with the Montrealers.
It will be interesting to see how much nostalgia there will be when the CLRVs/ALRVs start to go.
"Yes. H5s are fastest in operation, then T1, then TR. A TR is about as fast as a T1 with a full car eco. They aren't governed like the T1s and H5s, but going up hills they fall behind, 10 km/h slower in a lot of places. Doors are slower too. A delay about one second before they open with a good crew, and a couple longer before they close with the proper chime sequence. Some overly sensitive doors screwing things up and slowing things down. Seems like a gust of wind from a train on the opposite platform will make multiple sets of doors recycle. 547x I'm looking at you right now.
Don't get me started on those exterior cab doors.
If I'm not mistaken, at one point, BD and YUS used different radio systems, so trains were not fully interchangeable between lines. The Gloucester cars were confined to the Yonge-University line after the integrated service test ended.
It used to be that Bloor-Danforth got all the new subway cars first. All the Hs (mostly) ran there first, and YUS got the BD hand-me-downs. I remember when the H5s first came out — that buzzing sound was very irritating, so I always preferred an H4 and the blowing-air "choo" sound. Could never figure out why the H5s had that smell, although I don't remember it being there when the trains were new. The H6s were the best in my opinion when they first came out — comfortable sponge seats, and very quiet on the inside. Quieter than the T1s actually. When the H6s first went into service, the trains were always mixed – 4 H4 cars, and 2 H6s. In the summer, everyone would go into the last two cars (the H6s) for the air conditioning.
Finally, in case anybody is interested, there is a vintage video on Youtube of a Gloucester train (complete with the old double whistle).
I also remember seeing documentary film somewhere of the original Yonge line, in color, in the 70s (vitrolite and all), and the Bloor line, in B&W, in the 60s.
William, I was one of the organizers who, on behalf of Transit Toronto were trying to organize a farewell charter utilizing an H4 train. I had lengthy chats with the TTC about it and in the end the cost was too great. It would have came to over 7000 at the end of the day and the only way it would have been cost effective would have been if we charged 100 dollars a head and had a minimum of 90 people on the charter.
I cannot see anyone for the life of me paying 100 dollars a head for a charter. As well, the restrictions were too great. I was told they would need to pull ALL H4 trains from the line for the duration of the charter and that I would need an army of staff to tag along in order to make it doable.
Long story short, I would have loved to have done it but at the end of the day, the red tape and the cost made it impossible.
@ Mark Dowling: in speaking with a retired TTC man from the Equipment Dept. Vehicle Engineering section, he told me that they added chains to the diffusers so that when the screws are removed they won't fall to the floor – you've actually had nothing to worry about all these years. You can still enjoy humid air blown in your face when H-6s and T-1s have a/c failures, not to worry.
The H-4s have been the longest-lasting class of subway cars at 37 years and nearly 4 months, surpassing the Montreal cars. They were rather popular with operators and Equipment staff over the years and have been remarkably reliable. I highly doubt anything else will have that kind of endurance.
When the YUS extension is complete, what will be the fleet requirement for the line? How many non-TR trains will remain in service on YUS?
Steve: I presume you mean the Spadina extension, not the proposed extension to Richmond Hill. The answer to your question depends on the service design — what headway will they operate, and how far north will the short turn be moved on the Spadina line.
Hmm, I will miss those soft, vinyl-covered seats (though not on hot, humid days) and especially the hum of the motors that reminded me of the engine sound effect they used on the old "Star Trek" series.
What is the fate of these cars? Are they being sold to another transit operator? Any being donated to a museum? Or are the lot destined for scrap?
I guess they'll next soon retiring the H5 series (running on the YUS) and H6 (on the BD). I did like the original seating on the H5 cars (very similar to the seats on many of the buses at one time). Alas the padded seating on them was long-ago replaced with the current hard seats.
Steve: The H4s will go for scrap.
As usual, everything comes down to money. It would be great if all the trainsets on the YUS were TR but that costs more money. And money is something that Toronto does not have, and after how the Mayor dealt with the Province over Transit City, I doubt the Province (which is also cash strapped) will want to give more money to a city that does not appear to have a clear transit plan. Other cities have plans that they are committed to and those plans should be completed first now.
There actually was an H-4 subway charter on Sunday, September 11, 2011. The Toronto Transportation Society held their 3rd ever subway charter (G train in Sept. 1990 and M train in Feb, 1999 were the others). Ninety people attended and we toured all of the B-D and Y-U-S lines as well as Lower Bay. We were not allowed to take the train onto the Sheppard Line. The event was in celebration of the 150th anniversary of street railway operations in Toronto. The TTC gave us a very good rate for the charter and they were very good to work with in the setting up of the charter.
When trains run out of service into Greenwood, (or start service) are they moved through the yard by operators or engineers?
Somewhat off-topic, but since you brought up Greenwood, I thought I'd ask!
Steve: Carhouse operators move them between the yard and a small platform at the north end where operators pick them up. This avoids having regular operators wandering through the yard tracks and areas where they have to watch out for moving trains, not to mention climbing up into the trains where there is no high platform.
At other times of the day, carhouse operators shuttle trains around between the yard and the shops, and when necessary take trains out on the mainline to change off for ones that are in bad order.
The H6's are nowhere near retirement either. In 2013 they will only be about 25 years old, they could live for 12 more years until 37 like H4's. It would also be a waste to just send them to scrap. That's why they'll continue their life in Nigeria instead. The T1's should retire in 2030 – 2035 at the latest, when they're that old.
Also, how come the ads on the subway about a better tomorrow say that there will be "60 sleek new Toronto Rocket subway trains"? Isn't it 70? There should be more TR's than T1's.
Steve: The extra 10 were deferred to keep the 10-year capital budget under control. They will reappear magically as and when the TTC gets better funding.
Are any of the H4 cars being given to the Halton Transit Museum?
Steve: Not that I know of.
I remember the difference between an H2 and H4. The H2s that were retired in 2001 had narrower aisles and the ceilings fans were different. The H2 fans didn't stick down and they had three rings just like the ones in the M-1 TTC fleet and the ones on Montreal's metro.
I loved and missed the old H1 that always had the darker navy blue leather seats and the doors always had that sluggish squeaky portcullis sound when they opened and closed if anyone remembers that.
The good news is that many fans who miss the H4s will always cherish their memories by listening and watching them on Youtube, THANK GOD FOR YOUTUBE.
Youtube started to become a thing way after the M-1, H-1 & H-2 fleets were now extinct.
The retirement of the ALRV streetcars and CLRV streetcars will occur either during or after their H6 retirement.
The retirement outlook for 2012 will be the H5s and some of the Orion V buses which are now the oldest buses in the fleet.
Do you know the retirement schedule for the Orion Vs, 1999 Flyers and Nova RTS?
Steve: No. Partly this depends on TTC fleet plans and the number of buses that must be kept in service until the next bus order.
Getting back to Montreal's cars, I know that the older cars have the ceiling fans but don't the later ones have a totally different ventilation system in them. I've ridden both types of cars but just can't visualise the newer cars having ceiling fans in them. I do remember riding the newer cars when they were new and thinking they were air conditioned but now know otherwise. One thing that's always been pretty obvious is that the newer cars are definitely cooler and less stuffy in warmer weather.
Thankfully, that those H4 subway cars are gone, because those trains were non-air-conditioned I have noticed that the H5's are currently the only subway cars not to provide accessible seating, T1's along with TR's have accessible seating, not sure about the H6's if some, (but not all) have accessible seating too?
Here is the current subway model rolling stock for the four subway lines as of January 28 2012.
As previously stated, once all these new trainsets are delivered, the Yonge-University-Spadina line will be operating entirely with new Toronto Rocket trains, the Bloor-Danforth along with the Sheppard lines will be operating entirely with T1 trains, and in 2015 the Scarborough RT will be close down for good, as it retires its ICTS Mark I cars and will be replaced with new streetcars as part of the future Eglinton-Scarbrough Crosstown line, which is slated to launch in 2020.
Steve: Actually, the TTC has not yet ordered enough TR trainsets to completely convert the YUS. Until quite recently, their fleet plans treated TRs and T1s interchangeably, and they had a surplus of T1s for the BD line alone. Hence the smaller-than-needed order of TRs. On top of that, there is no budget provision for the trains needed to run more frequent service as and when they convert to ATO.
As Brandon stated above, how come the ads on the subway about a better tomorrow say that there will be "60 sleek new Toronto Rocket subway trains"? Isn't it 70? There should be more TR's than T1′s.
Well the TTC has received 10 new Toronto Rocket trains which were available for revenue operation so far as of late 2011.
Steve: As I said before, the TTC only ordered 60 trains. An add-on order for 10 more has been deferred for budgetary reasons.
I heard that the new Toronto Rocket trains were to be equipped with those OneStop Media group screens on-board, which would consists the next stop announcements, service delays, TTC promos (as well as promos for programming for Bell Media's co-owned stations, including CTV, CTV Two, CP24, MuchMusic etc.) along with news headlines, sports, business and weather information provided by CP24, similar to those already in-use at most TTC subway station platforms.
Steve: Actually the video screens that are onboard now are very small and if you don't know they're there, you will miss them. There was a big fight when these cars were being spec'd to ensure that video advertising didn't take over. Considering that the current crew would sell their grandmothers to give people a tax cut, I don't know how long this will last.
What chance is there, if any, of that 10 train add-on order ever actually being placed?
Steve: They will be bought eventually but they are not needed soon. The TTC does not yet have full funding for the conversion of the YUS to automatic operation (they even forgot to include this in the Spadina extension!), and without this, they cannot run as many trains as their eventual plans would have on the line. This is part of a much larger issue of route and fleet planning on the subway.
Youtube here and here and here and here.
I hope they do not retire H5 5796-(T1 prototype) – 5797 this year; that is a unique artifact and MUST be preserved for people to see in the future. They should definitely send the pair to Halton so that people can see what the original H5 (5797) looked like and the modernized version (5796). I'm sure Nigeria people won't mind us keeping 2 cars behind, besides a report said that their deal was 255 H5 and H6 cars, and we have 260 (134 H5's and 126 H6's; all of the H6's ever built are still out there, a record not even the T1's hold since 2 T1's were scrapped after an accident).
As for the H4's, the most classic design feature were the "eyebrow" marker lights and the driver's windows positioned at an angle (rather than flat like on the H5/6 and T1) and kind-of slightly "pushed into" the car. The T1 exterior look is basically a template on which variations can be made (i.e. a reflector around the rim like the H5's and the H1-4 look I've described). So, I was always wondering why the T1's dropped the H1-4 design and were given a very basic look?
As you previously stated Steve, when the more of the new Toronto Rocket trains enter service they will end the operating lives the H5's (on the Y-U-S) and then the H6's (on the B-D) shortly thereafter, as such, T1's operating on the Y-U-S will be shifted onto the B-D and Sheppard lines meaning that the Y-U-S line will become an all TR route but it has been stated that the TTC would give away those latter H-series to Nigeria, is that true?
I'm also happy that the retirement of the H4 units came just before another hot summer approaches because is that those passengers would no longer have to suffter with that hot and humid air anymore when they take the subway now that the entire subway fleet is air-conditioned.
Steve: I am not sure whether the TTC is donating the H4s or selling them at some nominal value. As for the YUS, the TTC does not own or have on order enough TRs to fully convert the line from T1. This is thanks to a screwup in fleet planning — the original order for TRs assumed that they would interoperate with T1s not required for BD. The problem has not yet been settled.
I thought they already ordered 70 trains. Is that not enough for YUS? Are they going to expand the TR order even more then?
Steve: 10 of the 70 have been put on hold because of budget constraints. The Yonge line today requires 48 trains in the AM peak. Add spares at 15% and we need 7 more, or a total of 55. There are plans to extend the short turn operation further north (a plan to shift from St. Clair to Glencairn has been on hold due to budget problems for a few years), and once the extension opens, the short turn will move further north again. Without even counting the trains for Spadina (which are in a separate budget line as part of that project) and the extra trains needed if the headway is to be shortened, there are not enough TRs to run the whole line. For more details, see my article from last year.
@Alex yes H5/6's are going to Nigeria, and H4's are going to scrap, and all that remains will be T1's and TR's.
@Jonathan Chen don't count on YUS getting new trains unless… they are launched on BD and SHE instead! If there will be too many TR's to fit on BD and SHE to replace T1's, and YUS requires a TR-only fleet, then it can continue using TR's while BD and SHE get the new trains.

Valued at Celtic, why it didn't work out at Middlesbrough and what Sunderland fans can expect after Patrick Roberts' arrival from Manchester City
Sunderland boss reveals major Luke O'Nien injury blow and explains last-minute Corry Evans switch
Lee Johnson has revealed that Luke O'Nien could potentially be sidelined for the rest of the season.
Saturday, 27th November 2021, 5:28 pm
O'Nien has been struggling with a shoulder injury for most of the campaign, and has suffered repeated dislocations.
The midfielder has been in consultation with a surgeon this week, and it has been decided that the 27-year-old can no longer put off dealing with the root of the issue.
He will be out for three months as a minimum, but potentially considerably longer.
Sunderland boss Lee Johnson
Sunderland's complete lack of full back options saw them switch to a back five for the crucial win over Cambridge Town, with Leon Dajaku playing at wing back.
Johnson admitted he may have to use that shape again going forward.
"He needs to have an operation," Johnson revealed.
"He'll be out for three months minimum, anywhere between three and nine depending on how much they have do.
"We might have to register myself and Jamie McAllister! I'm going to have to be tactically flexible, and every now and then we're going to have a square peg in a round hole.
We probably had fifteen players today.
"We'll have to go again in this tough spell and bundle through to January."
Sunderland suffered another injury just moments before the game began, with Corry Evans withdrawing after suffering a thigh injury in the build up to the game.
Lynden Gooch was brought into the side and did well in a relatively unfamiliar right-back role.
Johnson had already named a youthful bench, and ultimately was left with just six substitutes.
Academy product Will Harris was brought in the closing stages, his second league appearance of the campaign.
"He just felt his thigh," Johnson said.
"Even more reason to give credit to the lads.
"Gooch came in at right wing back and was outstanding, absolutely outstanding.
"We're going down like flies and it's tough to take, because we've got a lot of tough games
"Having said that, Leon did well out of position and Will Harris came on for us as an academy player, so there were some good moments there for us."
The 2-1 win lifted Sunderland to fifth in the table.

Cherokee, Osage Nations Building Separate Meat Processing Facilities
by Native Business Staff | Oct 16, 2020 | Agriculture, Infrastructure, News |

Both the Cherokee and Osage Nations will put federal coronavirus relief money toward funding their individual meat processing facilities. Food sovereignty is at the heart of the new avenues for economic development — the need to regain control of their supply chains was underscored amid the pandemic.

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, beef and other meat sources were harder to supply to elders through emergency food distributions, and opening a meat processing facility will help sustain foods for Cherokee citizens and bring in jobs and agricultural opportunities for the Tribe," Cherokee Nation said in a written statement.
The Cherokee Nation expects its 12,000-square-foot facility to cost about $1 million. The Nation will repurpose a former horticultural nursery on land outside of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. According to Tulsa World, the facility will process beef, pork and bison. Expected to create seven jobs, construction is scheduled for completion by early 2021.
The facility will initially serve Cherokee citizens facing food insecurities, and then the Tribe plans to expand into the larger commercial marketplace.

"It'll help address some food security needs for the Cherokee people, but it's broader than that," Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. told Public Radio Tulsa. "We also have to think about sustainability. Part of sustainability means employment for our people."

Meanwhile, the Osage Nation is constructing a new building in Hominy, Oklahoma. The plant is expected to be 25,000 square feet and employ some 30 people. The project is using $8 million from Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding the Nation received back in June, according to Osage News.
Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear said the funds were used in order to provide food security for the Osage people. "Currently, most Osages have limited access to food as various towns within the county have lost their grocery stores within the past five years," reports Osage News.
Construction continued for the new Osage Nation meat processing plant in Hominy on July 28, 2020. (Cody Hammer/Osage News)
The plant plans to open January 1, 2021, with an experienced leader at its helm. "It is the intent to hire someone with the specific knowledge to help develop the meat processing facility and have it operational the day it opens. The search for this manager is already underway," Jann Hayman, director for the Osage Nation's Department of Natural Resources and member of the Nation's COVID-19 Task Force, told Osage News.
"Like the farm (Bird Creek Farm), the funds for infrastructure development can only be used to meet the needs of the Osage people by supporting the security of food systems. Therefore, the meat will be going to the Osage people who live both locally and outside the local community," she continued.

@Notre Dame Joe Don't forget, Trump claims he didn't know the guy in the picture above. This is the person you're defending and putting your trust in.
You should watch anytime Alan Dershowitz (Harvard, lifelong Democrat) is on. He lucidly points out that famous people cannot remember the thousands of people who get their picture taken.

You would invoke Alan Dershowitz to defend Donald Trump.
He defended Epstein and procured his sweetheart deal that allowed him to continue raping children.
Epstein pled the 5th when asked under oath if he ever socialized with underage girls with Alan Dershowitz and/or Donald Trump.
He has been accused of forcible rape by multiple women though his association with Epstein.
Maybe that is why he writes op-eds arguing the age of consent should be 15...
You'd also learn how "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" was put in the Constitution so Impeachment was not available for any old abuse of power
Did that Fox News commentary include any citations or legal support?
At the Virginia ratifying convention, James Madison and Wilson Nicholas said abuse of the pardon power would be impeachable. In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton wrote: "The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself." At the Constitutional Convention, James Madison, the lead architect of the Constitution, said it was "indispensable that some provision should be made for defending the Community against the incapacity, negligence or perfidy of the chief Magistrate." The president, Madison said, "might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers." And if the president lost his capacity or acted corruptly, Madison concluded, that "might be fatal to the Republic."
"If you decide that certain acts do not rise to impeachable offenses, you will expand the space for executive conduct.... While there's a high bar for what constitutes grounds for impeachment, an offense does not have to be indictable.... Serious misconduct or a violation of public trust is enough. And the founders emphasized that impeachments were about what happened in the political arena: involving 'political crimes and misdemeanors' and resulting in 'political punishments.' " Whoops, that's Jonathan Turley, the GOP's scholarly expert on the issue. "As I have stressed, it is possible to establish a case for impeachment based on a non-criminal allegation of abuse of power.... As noted below, abandoning such claims would still leave abuse of power as a viable ground for impeachment. It just must be proven.... [T]he strongest claim is for a non-criminal abuse of power if a quid pro quo can be established on the record." (Narrator: it was).
If you actually read the Report of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives, the section President Trump Committed "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" by Abusing the Powers of his Office incorporates Trump's bribery scheme. There is even a section lucidly titled President Trump's Abuse of Power Encompassed Impeachable "Bribery" and Violations of Federal Criminal Law.
I think quite a few constitutional scholars disagree with his assessment of high crimes and misdemeanors. Dersh is either ignorant or extremely dishonest. I think a vast majority of constitutional scholars interpret the phase (at the time the Constitution was written), not as refering to the severity of the crime, but the fact that only those in position of power could commit such an offense as to abuse public trust. Apparently it was a fairly common phrase.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/watergatedoc_3.htm
Mason then moved to add the word "maladministration" to the other two grounds. Maladministration was a term in use in six of the thirteen state constitutions as a ground for impeachment, including Mason's home state of Virginia.47
When James Madison objected that "so vague a term will be equivalent to a tenure during pleasure of the Senate," Mason withdrew "maladministration" and substituted "high crimes and misdemeanors agst. the State,"which was adopted eight states to three, apparently with no further debate.48
That the framers were familiar with English parliamentary impeachment proceedings is clear. The impeachment of Warren Hastings, Governor-General of India, for high crimes and misdemeasonrs was voted just a few weeks before the beginning of the Constitutional Convention and George Mason refrred to it in the debates. 49 Hamilton, in the Federalist No.65, referred to Great Britain as "the model from which [impeachment] has been borrowed." Furthermore, the framers were well-educated men. Many were also lawyers. Of these, at least nine had studied law in England.50
The Convention had earlier demonstrated its familiarity with the term "high misdeameanor."51 A draft constitution had used "high misdeameanor" in its provision for the extradition of offenders from one state to another.52 The Convention, apparently unanimously struck "high misdemeanor" and inserted "other crime," "in order to comprehend all proper cases: it being doubtful whether 'high misdemeanor' had not a technical meaning too limited."53
In short the framers who discussed impeachment in the state ratifying conventions, as well as other delegates who favored the Constitution,69 implied that it reached offenses against the government, and especilly abuses of constitutional duries. The opponents did not argue that the grounds for impeachment had been limited to criminal offenses.

Plastic poison - where do we start in cleaning it up?
From The Detail, 5:00 am on 11 December 2019
Plastic flakes, washed and broken up, ready to become semi molten before being extruded into plastic sheets for reincarnation as another plastic item at Flight Plastics. Photo: Supplied Wellington City Council
The problem with plastic, is it's not just the pollution you can see - the fishing rope washed up on shore, the bags sloshing around in the sea, the broken toys in rubbish dumps.
It's the invisible stuff.
Tiny particles that are making their way into our soil and seafood. Nano-particles are so small we don't even know how much harm they're doing us.
Some of the plastic is laced with toxic additives that leach into the environment or cause other problems.
Newsroom.co.nz's science and environment reporter Eloise Gibson says it's the surprising things in our everyday lives that shed micro, macro and the tiniest, nano-plastics that are a big worry.
Gibson points to sequins and shiny fabrics, fluffy dressing gowns and fleecy hoodies. We can't get rid of those synthetics immediately, but we could mitigate the effects by putting gadgets in our washing machines to stop the plastic particles washing out, and bring in better wastewater filter systems so it doesn't wash out to sea.
"Virtually everywhere scientists go looking, they find them," says Gibson. That includes in soil, fish and shellfish.
The presence of tiny plastic particles, and the lack of good data about effects of those and other plastics, is highlighted in the first report from the Prime Minister's new Chief Science Adviser, Juliet Gerrard.
Called 'Rethinking Plastics', the 264-page report starts positively with Professor Gerrard's vision of Aotearoa in 2030 if we all do our bit.
"The picture … is quite hopeful in terms of; it envisages a future where all of our plastic that is recycled, is recycled on shore, so we're not shipping the problem to China; we've got sustainable markets here where we're using high quality plastic that people want to recycle; when things are likely to end up in compost or on the ground it's bio-degradable; and where possible it's just easy for people to not use it," says Gibson.
Plastic is not all evil and there's no suggestion of getting rid of it altogether, says Gibson. And there are lots of good things going on.
"One of the findings is that if everybody was doing what the best people are doing, it would go a long way.
"The report's quite clear that we do need some plastics and that plastic has a place in society. So, aeroplanes are much lighter now that some parts are made of plastic rather than metal, that reduces the greenhouse gasses that they produce because they don't need as much fuel to fly.
"In other cases having plastic food wrapping can reduce food waste, which is ultimately perhaps better on balance.
"The report isn't saying that we don't need any plastics, what it's saying is that we are using an enormous amount of plastic when we don't really need to ... and that many of the types we are using are needlessly damaging."
Gibson says one of the things the report throws up is that we need to buy less – of everything. "And that probably includes clothes."
The government this week announced it will ban polystyrene cups, meat trays and fruit stickers.
It's also expected to introduce plastic bottle depots and deposit schemes, and raise the landfill levy.

||||||||||||||||| STEWART PEARCE
Sound Healer, Angel Medium, Seer
www.thealchemyofvoice.com
My professional life began in the early 1970s, after training as an Actor Teacher specialising in Voice & Drama. From early days I had felt called to speak the words of great writers like Shakespeare, whose work was an inspiration to me, a gateway through the imagination to spirit.
William Blake wrote: "The human imagination: throwing off the temporal that the eternal might be established."
This was a time when many repertory theatres burgeoned throughout the United Kingdom, and I learned the exciting spell-craft of the Actor. I also taught Drama, fulfilling a burning sense of altruism, which was stimulated by a wish to help others, and based on privileges of childhood. For seven years I moved between the magic of Theatre and the ritual of Education, before being offered Summer Stock in the USA. This experience brought with it broadening horizons, as a blanket of drowsiness lifted from my consciousness, and I began to clearly perceive the interconnectivity of life within the Universe.
Whilst in New England I discovered much about my spiritual lineage through a series of remarkable encounters with natural landscapes, spiritual teachers and transcendental visions. These 'rites of passage' began preparing me for the unfolding pathway of work as a Sound Healer, and diluted my career as an Actor.
I felt wholeheartedly drawn to the sacred teachings of the Native American people. Of how they lived in co-creation with nature, honouring the pulse of the Great Mother's earth-soul, and the holy wind or breath, made living by the Great Father of the sky. Subsequently, I trained with a Shaman.
Lamentably, this time of discovery was cut short by the information that my dear Mother was terminally ill, and so I returned to the UK voiceless with grief, nursing her for a short time before she passed away. Suddenly life changed utterly………
This was 1980 and my career as Voice Coach began after an encounter with Cicely Berry, under whose auspices I taught at the Guildhall School of Speech and Drama. In 1981 I became the Head of Voice at the prestigious Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, continuing until 1998.This was a period of accelerated growth through the laboratory of teaching, my own private practice, and by meeting major teachers from the growing wisdom culture of the human potential movement, with whom I trained.
In addition, I worked pervasively throughout the theatre industry: at the 'Actors Centre', with major companies such as the 'Actors Touring Company' and in West End Theatre.
However, it was during the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, and after several years of using my abilities as a Seer, that I visited the world's Heart Chakra Energy Centre – Glastonbury Tor, and experienced the divine transmission of twelve Archangels. Through their gracious teaching, these extraordinary light beings gave me a temple of sound healing, which as instructed I've progressively brought into creation since 1997.
The Temple is known as THE ALCHEMY OF VOICE, and its canon of work evokes a truly embodied knowledge, through the medium of voice, regarding the heart as the 'seat of the soul'. Furthermore, it inspires that we each have a unique signature-note resonating from the secret chamber of the heart, which is the 'song of the soul'. Voice Alchemy arises from the intelligence and compassion of the heart, and as sound is at the core of creation, the work is designed to tune the personality of the voice with the breath of soul. As a healing art this was first known in Atlantis and then Egypt, when the human condition was less cerebral. The Epilogue of the book named after the work gives full account of this awe inspiring experience on the Tor – "in the beginning was sound, and the sound was made flesh, and dwelt among us full of grace and truth."
In 1998 I was invited to be the Resident Master of Voice at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The project had just opened, and Mark Rylance as Artistic Director wanted his actors to use authentic voices, resonating the words of the bard with a respect for Form and a zest for Truth. For ten years this remarkable experience was lived, alongside which in 2001 I was invited to be the Head of Voice at the newly reformed constitution of the Drama Centre London.
My role of Master of Voice has allowed me to travel the world facilitating Masterclass processes, training premier theatre companies such as Classic Stage Ireland, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Long Wharf Theater Connecticut, and Moscow's Arts Lab.
Clients have included the luminaries of the entertainment industry such as Maria Aitken, Frances Barber, Minnie Driver, Kathryn Hunter, Josie Lawrence, Janet McTeer, Julia Ormond, Vanessa Redgrave, Jonathan Cake, Simon Callow, Jack Davenport, Julian Glover, Ross Kemp and Mark Rylance.
In addition, my work as a Master of Presentation, (www.stewartpearce.com) has allowed me to work with many eminent personalities such as Diana, Princess of Wales, Dame Anita Roddick, and the presenters of the LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC BID. My client list extends throughout the corporate arena, with personnel from companies such as: ALLEN & OVERY, L'OREAL PARIS, BT, BBC, ITN WORLD NEWS, MCKINSEY & CO, MERRILL LYNCH, GOLDMAN & SACHS, WPP, MOMENTUM PR DUBAI, VIDAL SASSOON, REUTERS,BARCLAYS,BA and MCKENZIE BOSTON.
My books : THE ALCHEMY OF VOICE May 2010, and THE HEART'S NOTE January 2011, THE ANGELS OF ATLANTIS November 2011 and the ANGELS OF ATLANTIS ORACLE May 2011 - were published by www.findhornpress.com, with a number of unique Sonic Meditation CD's to compliment the work. I regularly appear in the media addressing the humanitarian issues of voice and persona as powerful expressions of human nature.

NEW YORK — Too many fouls. Way too many turnovers — nine alone from their star point guard.
So what if Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors weren't perfect? Come overtime, they went from flawed to nearly flawless.
Lowry had 21 points and 11 assists, controlling the overtime period and leading the Raptors to a 95-90 victory over the New York Knicks on Dec. 14.
Lowry had nine turnovers and missed a jumper that would've won it to end regulation, but then had two baskets and an assist in overtime, accounting for more points than the Knicks managed as a team.
Terrence Ross added a season-high 22 points for the Raptors, who maintained the best record in the Eastern Conference at 18-6. "It took overtime but I thought everyone stepped it up tonight," Lowry said.
Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and nine rebounds for the Knicks, who played without injured guards Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith.
Anthony missed all three shots in overtime, when the Knicks went 1-of-8. "They applied a little bit more pressure than they had throughout the course of the game and kind of got us playing a little bit faster than we wanted to play," Anthony said.
Tim Hardaway Jr. got the start and scored 18 points, but missed eight of his final 10 shots and finished 4-of-15. The Knicks, who ended a 10-game losing streak with a victory at Boston on Friday, fell to 5-21.
Ross gave the Raptors an 86-84 lead on a short jumper with 2:39 remaining in regulation and the teams then went scoreless across the next 2 minutes before the Knicks finally tied it on Anthony's drive with 28 seconds to go.
Lowry missed a short jumper before the buzzer but Toronto then held the Knicks without a basket in overtime until Hardaway's meaningless layup with 5.2 seconds left.
Patrick Patterson's 3-pointer opened the scoring in OT and put Toronto ahead for good. Lowry later made a pair of jumpers before feeding Amir Johnson for a basket that made it 95-88 with 1:05 left.
Shumpert is expected to miss at least three weeks with a dislocated left shoulder. Smith is day to day with a small partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot.
Coach Derek Fisher said Smith would start, but the former Sixth Man of the Year was ruled out after warming up.
The post Raptors Rake Knicks in OT, 95-90 appeared first on The National Herald.


Let's bring fictional food to life. And to our bellies.
Before reading a fantasy or science fiction novel, you need to relax your notion of reality—you are being transported into a world where everything you know is upside-down or non-existent. Perhaps the color you've come to know as blue will actually be green, or have a different name altogether; perhaps the earth you encounter will vary greatly from ours and you will need to redraw our planet's map in your imagination. In short, these novels are so powerful because they shatter what you've come to accept as the truth.
However, these novels never stray very far from humanity, since this trait is needed to make the reader feel like he could be part of the overwhelming adventure. Many ruses are used to make the abstract feel authentic. It could be the rise and set of the sun, the persevering notion of "time," the inescapable oppression of death, the sexuality between genders or even the fact that the characters need to eat and drink.
The detailed descriptions of some of the dishes, their preparation and the emotions they create in the characters, become intense and leave you wanting to have a taste of them. Reading a book with the perfect music, in the right setting and with the proper lighting, can become even more immersive with the accurate smells of freshly prepared food and drink of the same nature as the fantasy. Let's bring fictional food to life.
We've all watched SpongeBob SquarePants (don't lie), a cartoon which seems riddled with mature messages, and we've all wondered if those burgers were made of meat or seafood (quite a cannibalistic offering, if the latter). What makes it "the most famous burger in the Pacific Ocean"?
Clean the soft shell crabs properly, dip them in the egg wash then in the flour, shake off excess and fry in a pan covered in olive oil and a little bit of butter at medium high heat.
Add in 3 minced cloves of garlic as you flip the crab over. Remove when colored and puffy, season with salt and pepper.
Chop up the gherkins and mix in with the Sriracha and mayo.
Take a handful of chopped lettuce, make two thin slices of tomatoes.
Toast your bun, smear sauce all over, add in lettuce and tomatoes, top with the crabs and close up with the second bun, or just close the brioche.
Possibly my favorite Dr. Seuss title, where Sam-I-Am persistently tries to convince another character to try Green Eggs and Ham throughout the whole book—at the end, the character gives in, tastes it, and admits that he actually likes the dish. It's a great story with a powerful message.
Blend 2 egg whites with the spinach then whisk in the remaining 2 egg whites.
In a small egg frying pan, on low heat with some oil, pour in a portion (enough for one egg) of the white mix and one whole yolk, cook just like a fried egg and repeat.
Chop up a handful of chives and parsley and fry off with the honey and bacon until cooked to your preference.
Butter down some brioche and toast it.

The reason for that is I need to trace what item has been deleted instead of Id and version, because the data will be deleted, so what is the use of ID.

Q: WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.7 reports that it is already running when I try to start it, but it is reporting that it is stopped when I try to stop it Virtual machine with WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.7 was restarted while serverX created on that WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.7 was still running. After machine was restarted serverX was not turned on. So it is definitely not working. There are no logs and applications are unavailable.
But I get following outputs when I try to start that server...
> server status serverX
Server serverX is running.

> server start serverX
Server serverX is already running.

> server stop serverX
Stopping server serverX.
Server serverX is not running.

Last command output means that serverX cannot be stopped, because it is not working. It does not mean that server was stopped by that command.
So how to turn it on?


Tamworth pigs are critically endangered. Tillari is home to one of only three significant groupings of these wonderful pigs in Australia. By choosing our rarebreed, ethically raised pork and lamb you are helping to keep these animals from extinction.
If you talk to older people in the community who grew up on farms or raised pigs, most will have fond stories and memories of their families keeping Tamworth Pigs. Stories not just of moist juicy tender meat on the table, but of the antics of the animals.
Most literature suggests that the Tamworth 'Hog' or 'Swine' breed originated in Tamworth, Staffordshire England, however recently it was uncovered on an English Tamworth website that the exact origin may actually be unknown. It is further mentioned that a Tamworth Swine Association booklet says that the Tamworth originated in Ireland where they were called "The Irish Grazer". About 1812 it is said that Sir Robert Peel, being impressed with the characteristics of them, imported some of them and started to breed them on his estate at Tamworth, England and they have been bred quite extensively ever since. It has also been suggested by numerous persons that the Tamworth are descendants of the wild English hog. This may be one of the reasons that Tamworths are able to thrive in many different environments and are rarely affected with illness.
The following Information was sourced from a document authorized by the Federal Council of the Australia Pig Breeders Society that was compiled and edited by the Promotions Committee in 1982/83. Thanks goes to McIntosh Ranch for providing this document.
It appears the first Tamworths were imported into Australia in the 1890's by the Hawkesbury Agricultural College. They exhibited as a special exhibit, a boar and sow at the 1899 Sydney Royal Knowle Lad (imp.) and Knowle Rose (imp.). The Australia Pig Breeders Association then known as the Yorkshire and Berkshire Society, admitted Tamworths to the herd book in 1914. The first registered pig was Knowle Indian Prince (imp.) by the Hawkesbury Agricultural College. Over the years, the Hawkesbury Agricultural College imported a lot of Tamworths, the last being by Mr. G. Carse (chief pig officer) in the late 1930's. The College, along with the herds at Wagga and Wollongbar, exhibited Tamworths with distinction up until 1956 at the Sydney Royal. The breed reached its greatest popularity in Australia between 1950-1960 when annual registration in the herd book touched 1000 head on several occasions.
The breed was ideal for the rough hot Australia climate and thrived under open range conditions (this quality being one of the many reasons we chose the breed for our herd). Tamworths proved ideal for crossing with the more compact heavier breeds, particularly with the Berkshire which became a most popular cross for both bacon and pork production. The colour varied from light bricky yellow to a gold red, the later being more popular.
The Queensland Agricultural Journal, Volume 5 July to December 1899 Edited by A J Boyd also provided information in regard to the Tamworth noting it as the 'most profitable pig'.
"The most profitable pig to breed this year and hereafter is, without questions, the Tamworth. The Tamworth is the pig par excellence for the packer and feeder. Its length and depth of body are so pronounced that no breed of pig can approach it in these important respects. Its shoulder is light but deep through the chest and wide between the forward legs, giving it the indispensable lightness of shoulder with large heart girth and great vitality. The Tamworth is wide behind, with strong back and great depth through the flank and hams well let down; and these points sought by the curer... More the unexampled docility of the Tamworth can be approached by no other breed. The Tamworth is more prepotent, has the function of motherhood more pronounced and has greater precocity than any breeds of pigs yet brought into public favour..."
"The Tamworth bred in the standard has a slightly prominent pelvic arch, showing her strong maternal power; and the milk giving function is shown by her udder, of long abdominal attachment from front to rear, and well balance as to form, couple with strong, wedge shaped digestive capacity and her constitutional vigour is not only shown by her large heart girth but by they strong navel development."
"The well bred Tamworth is a brainy animal (sometimes too brainy in our experiences). This is shown by her lean and smallish head and her bright prominent protruding eyes. By reasons of her highly nervous organism she is as susceptible to kind or abusive treatment as is the gentle kittenish Jersey. From the above it will be seen that the Tamworth is fundamentally a dairy breed of swine; and a successful dairy man should, from his association with high-bred dairy cows make a good breeder of Tamworths and a successful producer of fine bacon."
Over 100 years later, the Tamworth is a rare breed. It is now less favoured as it doesn't grow as quickly or to the standards now required for it to be a profitable animal in an intensive piggery. However, the quality, durability and mothering ability of the animal hasn't changed. We hope as society's demand for free range animals continues that this breed will again be favoured, leading to increased numbers and having its 'rare breed' status removed. It is only through demand for the meat that we can ensure that this breed will survive and not become just another part of history and an animal that our children will only learn about in a book.
Finding information in relation to the history of the Tamworth pig in Australia has proved to be very challenging. If you have additional information or would like to share your experiences with the breed, please feel free to contact us, we would love to gather more information on this wonderful breed and include it on our site.


A good beginners Jazz dance class will have something in it for all levels of Jazz pupils, from the complete newbie to people who have been dancing for a while.
Find one of these and go along. Well taught Jazz classes are a joy.
Alternatively, keep a look out for Jazz classes that are labeled 'Absolute Beginners'.
Then you'll know exactly what you are getting.
As with any dance, the chance of being among genuine beginners is far higher if you go to a course of beginners lessons that has a clear timetable of when the first lesson will be.
In classes like this, you have the greatest chance of being largely (or sometimes, exclusively) among people who really are beginners and have never danced Jazz before.
If you are going along to a drop-in class, perhaps it is best to watch one first or at least have a chat with the studio beforehand.
There's nothing more demoralizing to the learner dancer than to be surrounded by perfectly honed, bendy bodies. It'll make you feel hopeless.
Clearly, some Jazz pupils are fantastically fit dancers. Of course, if you want to be one of them you must go to as many good lessons as you can. But do choose your level carefully.
We've seen classes billed as 'suitable for all' which actually contain very experienced Jazz pupils who are extremely flexible and who can execute some very advanced moves.
So, that's not really a lesson that includes 'All', is it?
Don't get caught in a class where you feel that you can't keep up with the other pupils.
The students around you should all be of your level.
If it is labeled as a beginners class, there should be beginners in it.
The beginner Jazz pupils we've seen have been predominantly women.
In classes where there's been guys, the men have usually been outnumbered by women by a factor of at least ten.
On the other hand, if you are a man considering a beginners Jazz class, it might be worth trying to find out in advance how high the male attendance is, if it would bother you to be the only guy in the lesson.
Jazz can be danced to a very satisfying level by any age, shape or size.
And since a great deal of the magic of Jazz is in the expression of it, the 'sass' of it, it's possible for anyone to get something out if it.
It really isn't one of those dances that is just for skinny young girls.

Una missió de retorn de mostres de Mart (Mars Sample Return Mission o MSR en anglès) seria una missió espacial per recollir mostres de roca i pols de Mart i per tornar-los a la Terra per a l'anàlisi. Una proposta concreta, un projecte conjunt entre la NASA i l'ESA, seria llançat el 2018 amb el retorn de la mostra esperat en el marc temporal 2020-2022.

Segons Louis Friedman, director executiu de la Planetary Society, el retorn de mostres de Mart es refereix sovint per la gent en la comunitat científica planetària com el «sant grial» de les missions espacials robòtiques, per la seva esperada alta rendibilitat científica de la inversió.

A team that included more than a dozen former U.S. intelligence operatives hacked into the phones of rivals of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of a clandestine operation brought to light in a new Reuters report.
Project Raven, an effort that included U.S. operatives working with the UAE government, spied on and hacked the phone activity of activists, foreign governments and militants whom the UAE saw as a threat, according to the Reuters investigation.
The team hacked the targets using a spying tool called Karma. Reuters was unable to identify the creators of Karma, a program that is able to exploit iPhones to reveal extensive data. Project Raven obtained information including the phone users' local data, photos and messages, according to Reuters.
Lori Stroud, a former intelligence analyst for the National Security Agency who participated in the covert operation, told Reuters that she discovered Project Raven was surveilling U.S. citizens. Stroud had left the agency for private sector work before joining Project Raven.
The FBI is currently investigating whether the former U.S. intelligence officials who worked with Project Raven leaked classified information to the UAE, former Raven employees told Reuters. Stroud said she is cooperating with the FBI.
The FBI declined to comment on the report.
Former Raven operatives told the news service that Karma, the program they used to hack hundreds of UAE rivals, took advantage of flaws in Apple's iMessage. They said they were able to implant malware on iPhones through iMessage using Raven, even if the phone user didn't use iMessage.
Apple declined to comment for the report and did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
The Raven operatives successfully hacked into the phones of hundreds of activists, government leaders and those identified as possible perpetrators of terrorism against the UAE, according to Reuters.
According to Reuters, the team hacked information from iPhones, among other avenues, and then compiled it for analysis.


Combed cotton is an extremely soft yet strong version of cotton made by specially treating the cotton fibers before they are spun into yarn. Normal cotton is harvested, cleaned to remove dust and seeds and then carded, which separates the fibers and lines them up so that they all lie in the same direction. It is then spun into thread. When cotton is combed, fine brushes are used to pull out any remaining impurities and short cotton fibers, leaving behind only long, straight fibers which are even and aligned.
Polyamide is a durable synthetic fabric. Its qualities complement the combed cotton by reinforcing its strength and resisting absorption of moisture, particularly from sweat. Combined with elastane, the material now has the ability to expand so that you can fit the sock with greater ease.

Macedonian Ramble: the Struggle for Independence
by Matthew Stevenson
Exhibit in the Museum of the Macedonia Struggle—from the 19th and 20th centuries—in Thessaloniki, Greece. Photo: Matthew Stevenson.
This is the eighth part in a series about a journey across what used to be called Macedonia, which is now divided among Albania, North Macedonia, Greece, and Turkey.
With less than three hours in Thessaloniki, I decided to limit my touring to the Museum for the Macedonian Struggle (a hard one to pass up) and a walk through the city's old Jewish quarter (which vanished in the Holocaust). Along the way, I hoped that I could eat lunch and browse in a bookstore.
The morning rain had not let up so after stashing my backpack in a station locker I took a taxi to the museum. The cab driver had never heard of the Museum for the Macedonian Struggle, but at least he didn't suggest driving me to Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, where there is another museum with exactly the same name (the heroes inside are different).
Museum for the Macedonian Struggle
I loved this museum. It is located in an old consulate building several blocks from the Thessaloniki waterfront. I bought a ticket (and some postcards devoted to irredentism) from a woman sitting at a desk near the front door, and she pointed me toward the exhibits, which are arranged on three floors. Needless to say, I had the glass cabinets to myself.
The purpose of the museum is to insist that the region of Macedonia is and has always been Greek (not Turkish, Albanian, German, Italian, Yugoslav, Bulgarian, or Serbian).
Technically, this Macedonian struggle took place between 1893–1908, and in this context it refers to the Greek defeat of Bulgarian irredentists operating in the region.
The Greek Resistance
The timeline of the Macedonian conflict, and of the museum exhibits (leaving aside the allusions to Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great), begins around the time of the 1878 treaties of San Stefano and Berlin, which turned Macedonia into a hot potato of European politics.
Truth be told, "the Macedonian struggle" continues to this day. (Note the endless conflicts between Greece and North Macedonia over the name of that country, and the tension between Albania and North Macedonia.)
Much of the coordination of the Greek resistance in Macedonia took place in the museum's building. The exhibits show the consul's desk and some artifacts from the struggle, including pistols and propaganda, much of which was directed against the inroads of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), a group of Bulgarian nationalists operating across the region.
In his history of Ottoman decline, Sean McMeekin writes: "The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, or IMRO (formerly BMARC), founded in Salonica by Gotse Delchev in 1893, is often described as the prototypical modern terrorist organization. Confusingly, it advocated 'Macedonia for the Macedonians,' although it was mostly a Bulgarian affair."
The heart of the museum is on the second floor, a room full of maps that tells a story about how the Ottoman province of Macedonia evolved from the Treaty of Berlin (1878) through the Balkan Wars (1912-13)—the bookends of the deepest Bulgarian penetrations into Macedonia.
Of Russians and Turks in Macedonia
What saved the region for Greece, in part anyway, was Bulgaria's defeat at Dobro Polje in World War I, although the 1919 peace treaties also consigned much of Macedonia to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (the great grandfather of the current state of North Macedonia).
Bulgaria's claim to nearly all of Macedonia was staked in 1878, in the Treaty of San Stefano (a Constantinople suburb) that adjudicated the Russo-Turkish War of 1877. The Russians won (the key battles were at Plevna and Shipka Pass) and awarded Ottoman Macedonia to its client state, Bulgaria.
A few months later, the other European powers, notably Prussia, England, France, and Austria-Hungary, got wind of Russia's dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire (at least in Europe) and Bulgaria's aggrandizement.
Under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's leadership they convened a peace conference in Berlin (the 1878 Treaty of Berlin) that restored great power ascendency in the Balkans.
Austria was given control of Bosnia and the Sandjak of Novi Pazar and Bulgaria was cut back to size in Macedonia—infuriating Russia and Bulgaria.
The Many Balkan Wars
That tenuous settlement held until the Balkan Wars (1912-13) drove the Turks out of the Balkans, which again put Macedonia into play between the rival powers.
In the first Balkan War (1912), an alliance of Balkan countries—notably Greece, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Serbia—attacked the Ottoman Empire and drove it out of Macedonia, if not Europe.
Then in the Second Balkan War (1913), Bulgaria attacked Serbia and Greece over their rival claims to Macedonia. Bulgaria lost in this second round, but less than two years later, when Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia at the start of the Great War (1914), Bulgaria returned to Thrace and Macedonia in force—until 1918 when the Serbian army broke through the lines in the mountains.
The Great Map Room
I suspect there are more than a hundred maps on the second floor of the museum. Some show Christian communities in Macedonia. Others indicate the tactics and fronts of the Balkan Wars. Still others show the progress, or not, made by the "gardeners of Salonika" as they fought toward Monastir (Bitola).
I took a picture of one French map indicating "Turkish Railways in Europe" that showed through rail service from Monastir to Salonika, and then a more serious line from Salonika to Dedeagach (spelled Dede Agatch on the French rail map). I did think that if the Turks still controlled this corner of Europe, I might be spared having to take a "replacement bus" after Drama.
At 2 p.m. the woman at the desk tracked me down in the map room and explained that the museum was closing. She let me take one more picture, this time of a general staff map from the last days of World War I, which I was hoping might show me how the next day I might get from Alexandroupolis (Dedeagach) to Edirne (Adrianople on the map).
The sad part about Macedonia is that travelers today can go far on general staff maps from the nineteenth century—once you have figured out that all city names have changed.
Thessaloniki's Jewish Quarter
From the museum I went in search of Thessalonika's Jewish quarter, not quite sure what might have survived the Holocaust.
During World War II, some 50,000 Jews from Salonica (as it was then called and spelled) were deported from the city and killed in extermination camps.
I knew that Thessalonika had a Jewish museum, but for some reason I had a hard time finding it, even though I knew the exact address. On the street where I knew it was located, I asked numerous pedestrians for directions, but they all shrugged.
Finally, I backtracked to a tourist office in the main square, where the cheerful clerk on duty gave me a map but said that the museum was closed. She said that it was an apartment in a building, and hard to find. She did guide me to a modernist memorial near the waterfront, which reads:
Dedicated by the Greek people to the memory of
The 50,000 Jewish Greeks of Thessaloniki,
Deported from their mother city
By the Nazi occupation forces in the spring of 1943, and
Exterminated in the gas chambers of
The Auschwitz – Birkenau death camps.
As for the rest of the Jewish quarter, it is gone. In its place is an elegant neighborhood of restaurants, cafés, and small shops, not unlike many old quarters in European cities. It is silent on the lives that were swept away in the Holocaust, although with my map from the tourist office I managed to track down several buildings, including a synagogue that dated to the late 19th or early 20th century.
On the Summer Waterfront
From the synagogue, I walked toward the city's commercial harbor, remembering my first visit to Thessalonika in summer 1976. I had been a family trip to Greece with my parents and sister, and we were staying on the island of Skiathos for a few days. While there, my father arranged to meet a man on business in Thessalonika, which meant a long day up and back on the train from Volos and Larissa.
I remember the trains being awful—we baked in the hot sun coming through the filthy car windows—and our fellow passengers being rude (they smoked in the compartment).
The best part of the day came after the meeting, when we walked along the waterfront esplanade where the harbor glistened with ships at anchor.
At the time I wasn't quite sure what had drawn my father to Thessalonika (the meeting struck me as an excuse to see the city), but now I know better: he wanted to see the city that had excited so many passions in the Balkans and had changed hands so many times between Greeks, Serbians, Germans, Turks, and Bulgarians.
It was from my father that I got my copy of Alan Palmer's The Gardeners of Salonika—an account of World War I fighting in the area—which might explain why so often on the seafront walk, instead of looking at the sun-dappled water, my father had his infantry-officer eyes scanning the hills above the city, wondering—I am sure—what it would have been like to command assault troops in ''the greatest internment camp in the world." (For two years the front lines hardly moved.)
On this occasion, however, a cold December rain had settled over the waterfront, and after recalling the summer warmth of 1976, I trudged back to the station.
At one point I stopped at a kiosk and ordered kotopita (a fluffy chicken pie), which I ate under an awning on the esplanade (so much for my seaside picnic with Greek white wine). But what nagged at me on the walk was how little I had learned about Jewish life in Thessalonika—yet another Macedonian community swept under the rug of history.
Next: Jewish Salonica and the memoirs of Leon Sciaky. Earlier installments can be found here.

On the 14th May 2014 Statistics New Zealand reported that there had been a rise in retail spending in the first quarter of 2014. In this report Statistics New Zealand said that after adjusting for seasonal effects, the volume of retail trade sales rose 0.7 percent in the March 2014 quarter following a rise of 1.4 percent the previous quarter.
The value of total retail sales was $18.3 billion in the March 2014 quarter, up 3.4 percent compared with the March 2013 quarter with the largest increase seen in electrical and electric goods.
PriceMe has also recorded an increase in demand during the first quarter of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013 with an uplift of 8%. The second quarter of 2014 has also started off strong with a 20% increase in visits to retailers websites during the Easter weekend (Good Friday to Easter Monday inclusive) compared with the Easter weekend in 2013. This huge increase further supports the trend towards online shopping and the need for retailers to have strong ecommerce websites to support their bricks and mortar stores.

Biografia
Dopo la morte del padre (1476), i due fratelli, ancora molto giovani ebbero come tutori i cugini Giuliano e Lorenzo de' Medici. Crebbero nello stesso ambiente colto e raffinato che circondava il Magnifico, e si formarono agli insegnamenti di illustri letterati come Marsilio Ficino e Angelo Poliziano, sviluppando la passione per gli studi classici e per i libri, al punto che costituirono una cospicua biblioteca ricca di manoscritti e codici miniati.

Col tempo i rapporti con Lorenzo si deteriorarono, anche per motivi economici, dal momento che il Magnifico teneva per sé l'ingente eredità del padre dei due fratelli, mentre avrebbe dovuto solo amministrarla e conservarla fino al compimento della maggiore età dei due. L'ostilità fu molto accesa e solo un arbitrato di un magistrato mise temporaneamente fine al conflitto. Dopo la morte del Magnifico, l'ostilità con il suo ramo della famiglia riesplose, quando i due fratelli si posero a capo di quanti osteggiavano il suo successore, Piero detto "il Fatuo", il quale quindi li esiliò nell'aprile del 1494.

L'esilio fu di breve durata: nel novembre dello stesso anno i due rientrarono a Firenze, quando Piero de' Medici venne cacciato dopo l'ingresso di Carlo VIII di Francia, ed essi diedero il loro sostegno al nuovo governo repubblicano instaurato dal Savonarola, prendendo l'epiteto di "Popolani", per distanziarsi dal "tirannico" ramo di Piero e testimoniare la fedeltà alla Repubblica.

Discendenza
Nel 1497 Giovanni il Popolano sposò la celebre Caterina Sforza, signora di Forlì e dal matrimonio nacque, l'anno successivo, un figlio chiamato Ludovico. Pochi mesi dopo, però, Giovanni si ammalò e morì, e la moglie diede il suo nome al figlio, che divenne poi famoso col nome di Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, l'ultimo capitano di ventura, padre di quel Cosimo I de' Medici che sarà il primo Granduca di Toscana.

Archaeologists have downed trowels in the first of a threatened series of nationwide work stoppages sparked by a row between their union and the company which employs them.
Archaeologists, who are members of the union Unite, stopped work along the proposed Macroom bypass claiming the company employing them had refused to engage on wage increases.
They are contracted by Irish Archaeological Consultancy (IAC), the largest company of its type in the country.
Archaeologists picketed two sites they are currently working on and held a rally in Macroom to highlight their grievances.
Unite said IAC contacted its members working on the bypass project last Friday to give them a week's notice of termination of employment.
The union's regional coordinating officer, Richie Browne, said despite enjoying healthy and growing profits, IAC has refused to discuss a pay claim with its workers collectively.
"IAC's treatment of its workers reached a new low last week when they issued the workers concerned with a week's notice of termination of employment, claiming that the archaeological works in question were coming to an end," he said.
An IAC spokesman said that last spring Unite circulated a letter throughout the commercial archaeology sector seeking additional increases in pay rates.
He claimed IAC have been offering salary packages on projects, at or up to 4% above those rates and that the company communicated this position to the Workplace Relations Commission on May 11.
He said Rubicon Heritage, the main archaeological contractor on the Macroom bypass, informed IAC on June 28 that its work would be completed over the following week and workers would no longer be required on the project after Friday, July 6, and they had communicated this to archaeologists.
