X-Wing Miniatures Game in Review
September 27, 2012 August 15, 2020 Michael Barnes Featured, Reviews, Tabletop
The highest praise that I can give to Fantasy Flight Games' new X-Wing miniatures game is that it makes Star Wars awesome again. It sloughs off decades of garbage with the Star Wars brand slapped on it. This is a game where Jar-Jar Binks never existed and the Clone Wars are just a cryptic reference. X-Wing, as the title suggests, gets back specifically to the really awesome faux-World War II fighter jockey stuff that I particularly loved when I was a kid. It is the spaceship dogfight game that I have wanted my whole life, writ in a modern, masterfully streamlined set of rules that all but step politely out of the way of the fun and cinematic action.
It is not a Wings of War ripoff. It uses some of the great design from that game along with ideas from the old Crimson Skies game, an obscure Euro called Techno Witches, and other games in its genre as a jump-off point to arrive at one of the least fussy, least messy tabletop miniatures games that I've ever played. The commitment level is low, requiring no paint, no assembly, and only a couple of ships to get going. Anyone can jump right in and pilot a flight of TIEs, barrel-rolling and blasting through asteroid fields and trying to get an angle on an enemy Y-Wing.
Any reviewer of X-Wing that attempts to rewrite the rulebook to explain the game is missing the point. This isn't a game about which rules simulate which aspects of a subject matter that is essentially farcical to begin with. It's not about how accurately it models or represents anything, and it's not about the kinds of minutiae and millimeters that bog down other miniatures games. It's a game about feeling. As soft-headed as that may sound, what works about this game above all else is how it feels to play- and how it captures the essence of the timeless, Manichean duel between X-Wing and TIE fighter, Rebel and Empire.

You don't get to premeasure your programmed, dial-selected movement, so the maneuver you pick may cause you to bank right into an asteroid or wind up going over or under another craft in a very subtle abstraction of 3D space. There is a sense of movement and momentum. You have to be able to anticipate, know your ship's limitations, and know when to risk making a difficult maneuver that incurs a stress token, thereby cancelling your ability to do a barrel roll or acquire a target lock-on for that turn until you recover. You've got to use the Force.
Combat is a straight-up shoot-out. I love a contested die roll. Red attack number indicates how many dice you throw, green is what the defender rolls. In one roll you've got concussion missiles streaming toward a target while it desperately tries to evade. Pick a focus action for the round and you can use the special eye icon as an extra hit or evasion. If a hit is scored, either shields are reduced or the damaged ship takes a card to count against its hull. Critical hits require that the damage card be played face-up, providing a sense of narrative told by ammo explosions, blinded pilots, or other impairments.
As in most miniatures games, building a force is part of the game. It's point-based, with 100 point games representing a tournament-class battle. By using a system that puts the pilots and ship stats on cards and identifying tokens separate from the miniatures, each miniatures can represent anything from a Rookie X-wing jock to Wedge Antilles. Ships can also take on secondary weapons and skill cards including proton torpedoes, droids, and special tactics that modify actions or provide unique abilities.

The miniatures are awesome. One of the important things about this game to me is that it crosses that gap between game and toy and speaks to that part of me that still wants to play with toy X-Wings and TIE fighters. The implementation across the board is fantastic, with ship-specific dials for selecting movement and standardized information presentation throughout the game. The rules take about five minutes to explain to a new player before a first game and they're memorized by the second. One odd component note- there are no pictures of any characters in the game barring one close-up of Darth Vader. FFG's licensing arrangement with Lucasfilm may not allow them to show Biggs, Luke, and other characters, but at least it's an opportunity for the publisher to showcase some exciting, all-new Star Wars artwork that's exclusive to the game. No movie stills, not really a problem.
There is, unfortunately, a two ton Hutt in the room and that is the cost of the game. The core set ships with two TIEs, an X-Wing and all of the maneuver templates, dice, and markers you need and it retails at $40. I think this is a ludicrous price point for a starter, especially since it doesn't even contain a paper map to use as a play surface. Online it can be had for $25, which is much more reasonable but it makes me question whether or not FFG is setting its retail prices intentionally higher than they should be to accommodate the deep discounters. Expansion ships retail at $15 each and come with a dial, tokens, pilot cards, and a base. These can be had for $10 online.
READ ALSO: Cracked LCD- Summoner Wars IOS in Review: The Promised Land
The game is completely playable for two out of a core set, but anyone that gets into the game should expect to immediately want to spend $100 or more on expansion ships or additional core sets. This isn't entirely out of line with common market prices for miniatures games- but there is definitely a sense of sticker shock in the board gaming community. With more ships already inbound including the first medium-sized ones, this is a game where the sky is the limit as to how much you can spend on it.
But it's also one where the sky's the limit on where it can go. Scenario design, further development, fan add-ons, and competitive play are going to happen and are happening right now. It has the makings of a blockbuster, and between the FFG and Star Wars brands it's definitely finding a player base regardless of the price. This is a Cadillac game and you can really get what you pay for out of it. I can attest that I've already played it more than any other game I've purchased this year, and I'm already certain that it will be played frequently on my tables for some time to come.
It's the game to beat in 2012, the best thing I've played all year.

Would a smart 10-year old be able to play & enjoy this game?
Michael Barnes says:
Absolutely, I would whole-heartedly recommend it for a 10 year old, no exception. Would be a GREAT father/son activity!
Bill Abner says:
Or in my case father/daughter.
Sexist asshole.
(Sorry that Borderlands thread…far too civil)
Yeah, what's up with that? Nobody's called me a troll yet. I must be losing my touch. It's even linked on Ben Kuchera's The Cut, that usually brings out at least a couple of hoodlums. Won't _somebody_ tell me to go back to playing Call of Duty?
Matt Thrower says:
How about six? I imagine that would be pushing it, but I can't be arsed to download the rules and judge for myself.
Dan Spezzano says:
I play it with my 9 year old, 6 might be pushing it
I think you could with the starter rules, no equipment/pilot abilities, and maybe do away with the actions. Just moving and shooting, no collisions or any of that mess. Could be fun with a little one.
Mark Guckeyson says:
I play with my seven year old, with a modified set of advanced rules. His five year old brother also plays, but basically he's just moving the minis around and is more like a force of nature than a flight of TIE/F's. Which makes it more interesting for me and levels the playing field. And they love to play with me, which I love to encourage!
coyote_blue says:
Dammit. I already have WIngs of Glory, but this sounds really cool, too. Sweet, sweet cash…How I will miss you…
Where's the best place to buy this stuff on-line?
timmie says:
It's extremely rare for a discount retailer not to have an ebay presence, and I would say it's basically an industry standard for discount game sales. Watch yourself on shipping and customs though. Looks like 30 bucks all in is realistic, but not garunteed.
Alternately, Amazon has it direct for 30 bucks, and then you can get free shipping. Really, getting less than 5 or 6 bucks for shipping any cardboard box via ebay is likely optimistic.
I like Coolstuffinc.com, but part of that is because they're a 1 day ship to my place. But they have good prices and service, they're doing the core at $25.99 and the additional ships at $9.99. Order $100 and it ships free.
Other retailers like Miniatures Market and so forth are probably priced around the same.
CoolStuff service is great but hoo boy they charge a LOT for shipping
Of course they do when they have to send your stuff via Pony Express to rural Ohio.
I'm about eight or nine hours up the road from them. Shipping is usually $10. It does REALLY suck if you just want like a $15 expansion.
Coolstuff charges more for shipping than any place I deal with. Thought Hammer (in TX) is cheaper. Funagain is cheaper. Hell Amazon is cheaper.
If anyone is interested in the fan made campaign I am making around this game you can check out this thread at BGG. Bill and Mike I hope you don't mind me posting this but I am going to need play testers.

Aerothorn says:
As far as the price goes, FFG actually has one of the smallest profit margins on the starter set of any product they've ever released, mostly due to the rising cost of skilled labor for pre-painted minatures.
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/857310/falconslave1-prices/page/2
That's a somewhat false comparison though. It's explaining why it costs them a lot of money, not why it provides a lot of value to the consumer.
I am sure a lot of people are overjoyed to pay quadruple the price for painted figures (as the comment from Christian T. Petersen suggests). However, I think that some fraction of the gaming population might prefer to assemble and paint themselves, if they could get stuff substantially cheaper. And if they sold for half price but paid one quarter the production costs, they would have larger margins while still silencing a lot of the criticisms on price point, paying 15-30 bucks for a single 2 inch long miniature.
What do you think of this review (except the blatant lack of puncutation):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A1RSG9EPEA2EI0/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview
After playing several games of this I've come to the conclusion that you have to be a big Star Wars fan to really enjoy it because the actual gameplay is really lacking.
The whole game is just so repetitive and fiddly. The whole game is pick one maneuver then do that maneuver. check if anyone is in range to attack if they're roll some dice then repeat. regarding the fiddlyness of the game you have to move so many tokens around that it really takes away from the fun.
I've heard people talk about how fun it is to out maneuver your opponent in this game. But when I played that didn't come up a whole lot. You are only able to select one maneuver at a time so if you get into a good position your opponent can react to it very quickly and I just never felt any satisfaction from making good moves because it is so easy to react to what your opponent is going to do next because you only have to think about his next move and ships don't have a lot of different moves they can make so it is easy to make the correct guess as to where they will be. So pretty much everyone knows where you're going to move to.
The Game is also so rules light that it because dull and boring quickly. My first two games were pretty fun but on the third game I already felt like I had done this before and that there was no excitement. Sure they will release more ships but I'm not willing to sink any more money into this shallow game of moving miniatures and rolling dice and that is pretty much all this game is. Good looking miniatures and dice rolling.

A tailor-made suit from Habasit
Habasit goes wide
HabaCHAIN® offers a unique solution to packing problem
Jurassic Productions
A tower of 4,000 loaves
Always time for a change
Habasit goes to Hollywood
Expertise at your fingertips
4,000 loaves of bread per hour. This is the sky-high number baked every day at Bakery Bouman in Geldermalsen, Netherlands. The bakery is part of the Amarant Bakkersholding, and apart from daily fresh bread, the bakery supplies specialties, such as pastries, pre-baked products and regional delicacies. Since dozens of major supermarkets have come to rely on the fresh supply, Bakery Bouman can't afford to have anything but the most efficient and dependable production line. That is where Habasit comes in. The company was selected to replace the conveyor belt in the spiral cooling tower which transports tens of thousands of loaves each day.
Commercial Manager Raymond Timmer was pleased by how Habasit approached the job, managing to meet any and every challenge that arose: "People get to know each other particularly well in difficult situations. Habasit responded in a professional way and always provided a perfect solution."
Being cool is crucial
The cooling process is crucial for the production of every bakery item. After it had been established that the conveyor belt in the tower was wearing down, Bouman decided to take preventative measures in order to replace it. Four suppliers were invited to submit a quotation for the job, one of whom had been the supplier of the original installation. Another supplier was Habasit. It was a new company to Bouman, although some of its technicians were familiar with the name and the high quality of their belts.
Bouman decided to take the chance with Habasit. Raymond Timmer: "It was rather exciting because apart from the initial installation, we didn't have any experience with a supplier delivering a spiral belt. Habasit's approach was surprising and refreshing. They didn't just send a quote right away, but first came to take a look at the conveyor in order to be able to make a well-founded offer. It became immediately clear that the Habasit team had a lot of knowledge and expertise. They also presented a solid and detailed approach, both technically and financially. They demonstrated their competence by offering us several tips of helpful advice. We were persuaded by the complete and convincing service which Habasit could provide every step of the way."
A solution without delay
After both parties had reached an agreement about the type of belt and the corresponding arrangements, Habasit presented a detailed project plan. "We daily produce fresh bread for one of the largest supermarkets in the Netherlands," explains Timmer. "We do this seven days a week at an average speed of 4,000 loaves of bread per hour. This means that the less time the cooling tower is out of service, the better. The most convenient time for repairs is the weekend, to stop working on Friday afternoon and to be able to start up again on Sunday. Habasit guaranteed that they could make this happen."
After a thorough inspection was done by a spiral engineer, production was stopped on Friday at noon. A Habasit team immediately set to work. "This all went very smoothly," says Timmer. "on Friday evening at 11 p.m., I was relieved to receive the message: 'We are on schedule'. By Sunday everything was up and running again without any trouble." A few hours later, a problem occurred which made the bread run out of line. "It was not an insurmountable issue, but we had to find a solution," explains Timmer. "Habasit did not hesitate for a moment and immediately started to search for the cause of the problem. Before long, it was fixed."
Trouble turned to trust
Timmer was consistently pleased by Habasit's quick response. "The discussion about the problem was very open and we kept in touch until we found a solution. It was all about maintaining trust in each other and the feeling that everything would be alright." Account Manager Jerremy Dalman of Habasit: "By making use of slow-motion video images, we could see exactly what was causing the problem. This was a new technique to us, but Marco Hollander, our Technical Manager, introduced us to not just one, but to several solutions." This gave Bouman a lot of confidence. After several test sessions, Habasit had solved the problem. "Now everything is working perfectly," says Timmer. "Although we all felt quite anxious for a moment, we did not lose confidence in each other. We always had the feeling that things would turn out well, and we were right. Of course no one likes to be stressed, but it was a good way to get to know each other."
The advantages of the right partner
Not only is the baking and the cooling of the breads running smoothly again, but the new belt also has some additional advantages. For instance, recent calculations show that the life span of the current belt is much longer than the previous one. The special wear strips reduce the friction between the belt and the supporting parts. This also reduces the forces exerted on the tower. Consequently, the motor tensioning of the belt requires less power and this reduces the use of energy.
From start to finish, from consultation to installation, to repair, Habasit has proven to be a trusted partner, not only for Bakery Bouman, but for the thousands of people looking to buy a fresh loaf of bread every day. (JB)

Aggregate Industries partners with Open Energi
Home / Aggregate Industries partners with Open Energi
Real-time energy optimisation to deliver 10% annual electricity savings and provide valuable flexibility, supporting renewable generation in the UK.
Aggregate Industries, a leading producer and supplier of construction materials, is the first business in the UK to automatically optimise its electricity demand in real-time via Open Energi's Dynamic Demand 2.0 platform. The approach is forecast to deliver 10% annual electricity savings and will provide valuable demand flexibility to support growing levels of renewable generation.
30 bitumen tanks across eight of Aggregate Industries' sites UK-wide have already been connected to the platform, which uses artificial intelligence to automatically optimise their daily electricity use in response to a variety of signals, including wholesale electricity prices, peak price charges, fluctuations in grid frequency, and system imbalance prices.
Aggregate Industries is accessing the imbalance market via Renewable Balancing Reserve (RBR), a product offered by its renewable electricity supplier, Ørsted. RBR enables Aggregate Industries to tap into the financial benefits of participating in the imbalance market, by reducing its demand at certain times.
David Hill, Commercial Director at Open Energi, explained, "Growing renewable generation levels have increased volatility in the imbalance market. Prices can spike very rapidly when there is a shortfall in supply and this has created valuable arbitrage opportunities for businesses who are able to quickly reduce their demand for short periods."
Open Energi has worked with Ørsted to automate this process, so that Aggregate Industries' assets can respond at the click of a button. On average, Aggregate Industries' assets are responding to three 30-minute RBR calls a day.
David added, "By stacking value streams and automating participation, Dynamic Demand 2.0 ensures Aggregate Industries maximises the financial benefit of its demand flexibility. Scaled up, this pioneering approach will have a huge impact on the way our energy system operates, paving the way for a smarter, cleaner, more affordable energy system."
Over time Aggregate Industries plans to expand its use of Dynamic Demand 2.0 to 48 asphalt plants UK-wide – representing up to 4.5MW of demand flexibility. It is also exploring its wider portfolio of assets and processes to identify where further benefits may lie.
Richard Eaton, Energy Manager at Aggregate Industries commented, "Aggregate Industries and Open Energi have built a very collaborative partnership, and this has given us the confidence to pioneer new solutions. As energy markets evolve it's important we keep up with the pace of change. Dynamic Demand 2.0 means we can cut costs and respond to emerging market opportunities, whilst providing the clean, low-cost flexibility needed to power a sustainable energy future. That's good news for our business, our customers and the environment."
Open Energi's technology is helping Aggregate Industries to operate its bitumen tanks more efficiently with no disruption to site processes. It uses flexibility inherent in the tanks' normal heating and cooling cycle and adapts this to serve a secondary purpose. Dynamic Demand 2.0's data console provides complete visibility of asset performance helping to identify where improvements can be made and encourage behaviour change.
The two companies have worked together since 2012, when Aggregate Industries was one of the first businesses in the world to provide a dynamic, real-time grid balancing service, using Open Energi's original tech solution. Upgrading to Dynamic Demand 2.0 has been a straightforward process – at several sites the platform was activated remotely, and where on-site changes were required, it was incorporated into a regular site maintenance visit.
Open Energi is working with a number of customers who are in the process of connecting assets to Dynamic Demand 2.0 to reliably and safely unlock the full benefit of their demand flexibility.

How I Learned to Love Facials
by Bernard Burt
Photography by Svitlana Barsukova
Entering the Red Door spa was an act of faith in facials.
In 1985, guys didn't do facials.
Both the art and the science of skincare were major factors in my new book, Fodor's Healthy Escapes, a guidebook on America's best spas. So with an introduction from T George, the editor of American Health magazine, I booked in at Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Salon & Spa on Fifth Avenue.
For many Americans, working 50-hour weeks didn't allow much time for facials. Gallup surveys for American Health found that two out of three Americans aimed to do weekly exercise, one in three considered health facilities in planning a vacation trip. For my publisher, Random House, this was a virgin market. And I needed a fast course on facials.
Photography by DCMck
Elizabeth Arden's posh emporium of female charm was like nothing I had ever seen. Cosmetics were displayed like gems, the air was scented, and the staff seemed happy to welcome me. All they needed were the Rockettes parading products. This was show biz. Taking a tiny elevator to the treatment rooms, it seemed far from Fifth Avenue. A no-nonsense esthetician examined my complexion and began a series of "masques" to cleanse and revitalize skin that hadn't known much more than soap.
That head-to-toe experience set the standard, not only for my book, but for all future spa visits.
When the Red Door closed recently, it was the end of an era. Sold to Revlon in 2016 for $870 million, repositioned for Millenials as Mynd Spa & Salon, they lost their core customers for wellness and beauty.
Founded in 1910, Arden's Red Door evolved from a Canadian childhood, nursing school, and business acumen. Married to a Russian prince and banker, breeder of race horses, Arden understood the need for a place to rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. Her summer home in Maine became a destination spa, followed by a fabled hideaway in the dessert near Phoenix, called Maine Chance, exclusively for women.
Work on the Fodor book took me to Marriott's Camelback Inn, one of the best resort spas in the Southwest. When the GM, Wynn Tyner, learned that I could not get into Maine Chance, he arranged a private tour at lunchtime when the ladies were in their cottages. Most memorable: the wax vat for total immersion in paraffin. Shortly thereafter, the property was bought by its neighbor, The Phoenician, and torn down.
Every time an esthetician wraps my hands in warm paraffin, I think about being lowered into that huge open-air vat. Such soothing warmth. What an experience!
Bernard Burt
Health challenges led spa historian Bernard Burt to Canyon Ranch in Arizona, inspiring his 1986 book "Fodor's Healthy Escapes" for Random House. The co-author of "100 Best Spas of the World" (Globe Pequot), his byline has appeared in National Geographic Traveler, American Health, Spa Management Journal, and on Examiner.com. Based in Washington, DC, Burt is chairman emeritus of the Washington Spa Alliance and founding director of the International Spa Association.

Q: ProgressDialog showing for a fraction of a second, if at all I am working on a calculator app for my first project with android. Some of the calculations take a while because of how many operands are put in the equation. I'm using mxparser api to evaluate the equation. A progressDialog is supposed to show during my asyncTask, but it only shows for a fraction of a second if at all.
I have tried other solutions on stackoverflow and nothing so far has worked. Any ideas as to why this is occurring?
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

private EditText editScreen;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    editScreen = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.calculator_display);
    Button btnEq = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_equals);
    btnEq.setOnClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    String equation = editScreen.getText().toString();

    switch (v.getId()) {

        case R.id.btn_equals:
            doCalculation(equation);
            break;

        default:
            Log.e("ERROR", "button was not implemented: " + v.getId());
    }
}

private void doCalculation(String equation) {
    Expression expression = new Expression(equation);
    boolean isCorrectSyntax = expression.checkSyntax();
    if (isCorrectSyntax) {
        new calcAsync(MainActivity.this, equation).execute(expression);
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Error in expression, please check syntax", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

private class calcAsync extends AsyncTask<Expression, Void, Void> {

    private ProgressDialog dialog;
    private String equation;

    private String answer;

    public calcAsync(Context context, String equation) {

        this.equation = equation;
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Expression... params) {
        Log.d("DEV", "starting calculation");
        Double result = params[0].calculate();
        String[] r = result.toString().split("\\.");

        if (result.equals(Double.NaN) || result.equals(Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY) || result.equals(Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)) {
            answer = result.toString();
        } else if (r[1].length() == 1 && Integer.parseInt(r[1]) == 0) {
            answer = r[0];
        } else {
            answer = result.toString();
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();

        dialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
        dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
        dialog.setCancelable(false);
        dialog.setMessage("Calculating...");
        dialog.setTitle("Please wait...");
        dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
        dialog.show();

        Log.d("DEV", "dialog shown");

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
        super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
        if (dialog != null) {
            Log.d("DEV", String.valueOf(dialog.isShowing()));
            dialog.dismiss();
            Log.d("DEV", "Dialog dismissed");
        }
        editScreen.setText(answer);
        saveToHistory(equation, answer);
    }
}

}
Update 7/14/16:
It seems that the actual calculation itself doesn't take long at all. But from the time it takes after the equals button is pressed, until the result is displayed takes a while. 3 seconds for a long string of 1+1... (33 additions in my testing), longer if the string is longer than that.
Update 7/18/16:
I found out why my progressDialog wasn't showing. In the doCalculation method I am checking the syntax with equation.checkSyntax() before the asyncTask. This is where my delay was coming from, so the asyncTask wasn't doing the bulk of the work. after adding it in the asyncTask, I noticed that it takes considerably longer for the same test case as my previous update.

A: If you know that the delay occurs from the time the equals button is pressed, why not move the ProgressDialog to start there instead?

poly = g x^3 + h x^3 + i x^3 + d x y + e x y + f x y + a x^2 y + b x^2 y + c x^2 y + l x y^2 + m x y^2 + j y^3 + k y^3

Collect does a bad job putting poly in polynomial form:
Collect[poly, {x, y}]

$ (g+h+i)x^3 + (a+b+c)x^2 y +(j+k)y^3  +x \left((d+e+f)y + (l+m) y^2\right)$

As you can see, the last term should more properly be written as $(d+e+f)x y + (l+m)x y^2$.
I can achieve what I need by using
FromCoefficientRules[CoefficientRules[poly, {x,y}],{x,y}]

$x^2 y (a+b+c)+x y (d+e+f)+x^3 (g+h+i)+y^3 (j+k)+x y^2 (l+m)$

Is there a built-in Mathematica function which achieves the same effect as FromCoefficientRules[CoefficientRules[...]] but requires less typing?

A: This might satisfy your requirements:
Plus @@ MonomialList[poly, {x, y}]
(* (g + h + i) x^3 + (d + e + f) x y + (a + b + c) x^2 y + (l +
    m) x y^2 + (j + k) y^3 *)

078. Church properly compensates pupil victims for abuse
How does one start an article on such an emotive topic? The best advice is usually to stick to the facts, but as with anything relating to religion, facts are not necessarily the most important thing. However, whatever way one wants to colour it, the Catholic Church stood by idly while hundreds of their clergy sexually and physically abused young children over decades.
The Catholic Church have not denied this and they signed a deal with the Former education minister Michael Woods in 2002, to compensate their victims. The Department of Education, for the record, were also equally culpable, because they also stood idly by. Some would argue that this might be unfair because Ireland was effectively a church-run state but the Department of Education are excellent at hiding behind their responsibilities with their claim of only "providing for" education to avoid any action arising from anything happening in any school in the country.
One would think that this would all be fine. The church would have no issue with paying 50-50 with the government to the victims. One might even think they would apologise. One might even believe they would cease control of their 90%+ of schools to the state.
No. For some bizarre reason, the church managed to convince the government to cap its liability for child abuse compensation at €127 million. The abuse bill runs into billions.
In case there was the possibility of land or buildings being offered in lieu of payment to victims, the church scurried together and set up a handful of Trustees to ensure that this didn't happen.
Believe it or not, almost 20 years later, much of the compensation has still not been paid back.
However, in perhaps one of the greatest coups, if anything goes wrong with any of their buildings, the Department of Education fixes it and the buildings still 100% belong to the church. In fact, every single cent paid to ensure these buildings are heated, electrified, plumbed, etc. is paid by the Department of Education. The Catholic Church doesn't pay a thing for the upkeep of their own buildings or land.
You'd be surprised that so many people defend this arrangement.
Anyway, I don't, and I think any logic would suggest that the church should pay 50% of the compensation owed to the victims of clerical abuse. I'm being very generous at 50%.
If they don't have the money, they have plenty of buildings and land which could be handed over to the state to be run by other patron bodies. The value of the land and buildings could be established by an agency such as NAMA. The money could then be given to the victims.

In June they debuted their duet "Prosti menya" (Forgive Me) at the Muz-TV Awards in Moscow, before jetting off to Portugal to film the music video.
And this morning Eurovision 2008 winner Dima Bilan and Eurovision 2016 televote winner Sergey Lazarev unveiled the fruits of their Iberian labour.
At the same time there is a subtext about their actual friendship and history with each other, which they detail below. Regardless of your reading, they bring their emotions to life in the ancient city of Sintra, having filmed at or along its beaches, forests and rock outcrops.
"Prosti menya" is the song Russian fans have been waiting for for years. Dima and Sergey have built massive solo careers, and for them to perform together has sent fans to pop heaven.
Naturally the reactions have been overwhelming. At the Muz-TV Awards, the audience greeted Sergey and Dima with enthusiastic applause and plenty of screaming as the two performed in front of a thunder-and-lightning backdrop.
In just one day, the single went straight to No. 1 on the Russian iTunes chart, pushing past global chart-toppers "2U" from David Guetta and "Despacito" from Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.
Fans weren't the only ones excited. After the performance Dima posted a picture of the pair performing, along with the following caption.
What do you think? Is the "Prosti menya" video all you hoped for? Do you love their voices together? Let us know below!

Prosti lyubov' moya, vso dal'she polyusa.
Forgive me – do you hear?
How can I believe again, in these subtle worlds?
Come on!The song is really a bomb,one of the best Russian songs this year .Clip perfect too,i love the moment when they show their faces with black background .And Portugal's nature wow.
when it was announced that Bilan and Lazarev will make a duet I was so happy. I am a big fan of both artists. Then the song was released and I was very disappointed.Such an average song. Then I hoped that they will release a very nice clip and now I watched this? BORING!
Very bad song. If they participated with this song in Eurovision they would not even qualify.
The live version included by William is better than the studio version. The performance is emotional, especially Sergey's. I only listen to the live version, which I have done for months. Singing live, I think this song would be a Eurovision song. The fans screaming give the song life too.
If they're in the closet, as transparent as it may be, it's completely understandable, since they're from Russia.
If this is their way of expressing that, then good on them.

UFOs eyed nukes, ex-Air Force personnel say – This Just In
Mar 31, 2019 | Alien News | 0 |
Seven former U.S. Air Force personnel gathered in Washington Monday to recount UFO sightings over nuclear weapons facilities in decades past – accounts that a UFO researcher says show extraterrestrial beings are interested in the world's nuclear arms race and may be sending humans a message.
At a news conference at the National Press Club, the six former officers and one ex-enlisted man recalled either personal sightings or reports from subordinates and others of UFOs hovering over nuclear missile silos or nuclear weapons storage areas in the 1960s, '70s and '80s.
Three of the former Air Force officers – though they hadn't seen the UFOs themselves – told reporters that UFOs hovering over silos around Montana's Malmstrom Air Force Base in 1967 appeared to have temporarily deactivated some of the nuclear missiles.
Much of the testimony already has appeared in books, websites and elsewhere. But UFO researcher and author Robert Hastings, who organized the news conference, said the time has come for the U.S. government to acknowledge the UFO visits.
"I believe – these gentlemen believe – that this planet is being visited by beings from another world, who for whatever reason have taken an interest in the nuclear arms race which began at the end of World War II," said Hastings, who added that more than 120 former military personnel have told him about UFOs visiting nuclear sites.
"Regarding the missile shutdown incidents, my opinion … is that whoever are aboard these craft are sending a signal to both Washington and Moscow, among others, that we are playing with fire – that the possession and threatened use of nuclear weapons potentially threatens the human race and the integrity of the planetary environment," he said.
Former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas – who has written a book about the Montana incidents – said he was underground when a UFO hovered over his missile silo in March 1967, and therefore couldn't see it. He said one of his guards above ground told him a red, glowing object about 30 feet in diameter was hovering just above the front gate of the facility, in an isolated area far from Malmstrom.
"And just as I [called my commander], our missiles began going into what's called a no-go condition, or unlaunchable. Essentially, they were disabled while this object was still hovering over out site," Salas said.
Salas and others said the military urged them at the time not to talk about the incidents.
Retired Col. Charles Halt recalled seeing UFOs over the woods near Royal Air Force Stations Bentwaters and Woodbridge in eastern England in December 1980. He and security personnel were investigating reports of strange lights just outside one of the bases.
"All through the forest was a bright glowing object," he said Monday. "The best way I can describe it, it looked like an eye – with bright red, with a dark center. It appeared to be winking. It was shedding something like molten metal, was dripping off it.
"It silently moved through the trees, avoiding any contact, it bobbed up and down, and at one point it actually approached us. We tried to get closer. It receded out into the field, beyond the forest, and silently exploded into five white objects – gone. So we went out into the field looking for any evidence, because something had been apparently falling off it – and we find nothing," he said.
He recalled subsequently seeing other objects in the sky, including one that stopped about 3,000 feet overhead and "sent down a concentrated beam at our feet." No one was harmed.
"The best way I can equate it is sort of a laser beam. We stood there in awe. Was this a warning? Was this an attempt to communicate? Was this a weapon? Or just a probe?" he said.
At about the same time, he was hearing radio reports from base personnel that beams from some of the objects were "falling into or near the weapons storage area."
In a staff meeting later, a general decided "it happened off base, so it's a British affair," Halt recalled. "In other words, they were loathe to get involved."
The Air Force investigated UFOs from 1948 to 1969 under a program eventually called Project Blue Book. The service, on its website, says the project concluded that "no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security." It also says there has been "no evidence that sightings categorized as 'unidentified' are extraterrestrial vehicles."
Salas said the UFO phenomenon "is real, not imaginary."
"There is current excessive secrecy in our government surrounding this phenomenon," he said.
A reporter asked how many of the former military personnel subscribed to Hastings' theory that the message of extraterrestrials is that humans should get rid of nuclear weapons, and how many of them believed that we should get rid of nukes. Of the seven, it appeared that only Salas raised his hand.

Obviously, I am covering up some ugliness of this beauty.  I've got an install of VisualSVN to replace Visual 'shall not be named' and I get to the point where it says, trunk, branch and something else.  and from some other posts here and on SO, I know vaguely what those are for.
My question is what do I do to translate my existing file structure to the source control structure.  We've give up hope of doing any meaningful import.
I've tried just going head first into this already, but I feel I'm missing some key concept.
For instance, should all these things be in the same repo?  If they're not in the same repository, how are they going to find the files shared between the projects?

A: First of all, the structure of a Subversion repo is just a directory tree. The use of 'trunk', 'branches' and 'tags' directories is just a community convention. As a any convention is better for you to stick to it, but not mandatory. That said, I use to have ONE repository for an application and inside this repo, the classic structure 'trunk', 'branches' and 'tags'. But if the application is big enough or have a bunch of modules you have two alternatives:
A: (For shared versions among modules)
trunk (module-A, module-B, module...)
B: (Versions will go independently for each module)
module-A (trunk, branches, tags); module-B (trunk, branches, tags)
The second alternative could be implemented using a single repository or multiple ones, on the SVN Book (link below) you have a description of each one and their benefits.
If you are not familiar with the usage of directories 'trunk', 'branches' and 'tags', here you have a brief description, but please refer to the SVN Book, and look for "Strategies for Repository Deployment" and "Recommended Repository Layout" sections.

*

*trunk: "main line" of development

*branches: divergent copies of development lines

*tags: named, stable snapshots of a particular line of development

How do I use them?
 - The first project structure was uploaded to the trunk.
 - Every time a new requirement or project comes we copy the trunk content into a new branch (with a representing name).
 - We work on that branch until completion of UATs (User Acceptance Testing).
 - After that, we reintegrate the branch with the trunk (merge). Note: if more than one branch is going to be released to production you have to do all merges before and ideally test the integration of all changes, using the trunk code.
 - Finally we create a tag, to mark the release of this version to the production environment. Note: all tags are read only, no one on the team can change a tag after its creation. This simple rule ensures that you can go to a known stable version of the code if the some problem occurs.
In summary (and here are your key concepts):

*

*Read the SVN Book.

*Understand the basics of subversion

*Become familiar with all different projects structres alternatives and choose the one that better fit your needs.

*Become familiar with all different branching models, use the matching one depending on the work to do (a bug fix, a request for change, a long project, etc.).

*Understand what trunk, branches and tags are for, specially the last one.

*Understand what is a working copy, a repository, a revision, the cheap copy concept

*Remember not to version your binaries, only your sources. I made this clarification because of your actual layout you have things named "DLLxxx", so I'm assuming they are binaries (.dll files).

After the implementation, if you have troubles getting your partners to work with the tool, here is a possible reason of that behavior: Why developers don't use a Version Control System (CVS, SVN, Git, Hg, ...)?, please leave your comments or experiences on getting a team on using a versioning tool.

A: There's no intrinsic reason you can't stick with your current directory structure. Dump all of this within trunk/, and you're good to go. You won't necessarily get all of the benefits that might potentially be possible if you had separate branches for v5.5, 6.0 and 6.1, but based on what you're describing, I doubt it is even possible to gain those benefits at this point. Gaining those benefits requires non-trivial workflow changes, and it might be easier to first gain traction with VCS as a general concept that includes tracking, and introduce branches-per-version later on if it makes sense with your workflow.


I had so much fun taking this 90 minute Segway tour of Scottsdale! Our tour guides started out by instructing us how to operate a Segway and then guiding us through some basic maneuvers until we were comfortable and ready. To go forward, you simply lean in that direction. And to go backwards, which is necessary to stop, you lean back. (Because the Segway uses several gyroscopes, it never really stays perfectly still.) The Segway does not steer like a bike, i.e. where you turn the handle bars. To turn the Segway, you push the steering handle left or right pretty much in a straight plane. It takes some getting used to but I found over time that I became more confident and was able to adapt my body language to the Segway. I definitely will ride again!
Here are some great photos of our ride through central Scottsdale. By the way, CeCe and I were married outside near the fountain the appears in the first three photos.


As many of you know, I am in the process of transforming the traditional laptop lab in our elementary school into an Innovation Lab. While this may seem like a simple task of just moving furniture and buying supplies, it is actually a complex, thought-out process that has been swirling in my mind for years. Like a painter who mixes colors on a palette to get just the right shade of blue, I've been gathering insights and ideas from countless students, teachers, and parents of what this transformation could become.
Now is the time to make those dreams come true.
Through the month of September, I will guide you around the various aspects of our Innovation Lab, spotlighting Innovation Stations, creative collaboration, and think-outside-the-box opportunities. It's my hope that you, too, might be inspired to view learning from a different perspective, to embrace the unknown, to join us in this journey of innovation.
This project is a huge step outside my comfort zone.
In my twenty years as an educator, I have spent half that time as a technologist. Which means, quite simply, my duties have been focused on instructional design not classroom decor. I am not a "pinterest-worthy" decorator. In fact, interior design is probably one of my greatest weaknesses (to the chagrin of many family members.) Creating bulletin boards is not my area of expertise and my eye for color and style is a bit lacking. While these may seem like trite issues to ponder when redesigning a learning space, they are huge challenges for me.
So I turned to Twitter for inspiration.
Scrolling though my home page, I discovered a fantastic artistic display created by another teacher: a collaborative coloring board!
I stared at that photo, mesmerized by the patterns, the flow of lines and shapes mingling together, the potential for collaborative ownership sparking my mind. Wouldn't it be great to have a board like this displayed in our Innovation Lab?
I went to the store and bought a few supplies. I didn't need much, just a tri-fold display board, a pencil and a black Sharpie pen. I found a ruler in one of my children's backpacks, spread the board out on my piano room floor, then picked up my pencil to draw.
Friends, let me tell you… this drawing from scratch business is no simple task!
I have never considered myself to be an artist. While I don't critique my drawing ability aloud to others, it's not a skill I would list as a strength. You would think something like this would be easy; after all, you're just drawing little shapes and lines, right?
I stared at that white board for a very long time, completely overwhelmed, not knowing where to start.
It made me think of my students, when I hand them a piece of blank paper and say, "Just draw!" or "Just write!" The vast emptiness paralyzes the hand and stifles the creativity for some. How would I guide my students to overcome this feeling? To give them a jump-start? To show them that anything they put on the paper is better than nothing at all?
Bite one piece, not the whole pie.
Then I started to draw and design.
But I kept at it. A few minutes here, an hour there, I continued to draw.
Step by step, piece by piece, my coloring board came to life with hidden animals, swirling stems and flowers blooming in the sun. I discovered that the more I drew, the easier it became, and I began to understand how artists find such joy in creation. I borrowed a coloring book from my daughter to guide me in creating images, glancing from paper to cardboard as my pencil continued to glide from shape to shape.
With a few final strokes of my pen, the board design was done!
I even saw our Assistant Principal add to our display board late one afternoon.
During Open House, I moved our coloring board to the front office lobby where students and parents joined in the fun of collaborative creation.
Our poster is still a work-in-progress, much like our Innovation Lab, but it's inspiring to see how the collective creativity of many can transform a black-and-white board into a masterpiece.
Amazing creations take time to complete. Check back soon to see our finished poster and learn more about our Innovation Lab!

Q: How do I get display names from a custom field in Jira-python? I am using the jira rest api in python (jupyter notebook) and want to get the display name of a custom field from Jira.
The custom attribute I am using represents Team Name in Jira. ex. 202 = "A Team", 204 = "The Brew Team", etc.
when I for loop I am able to get team id's but I'd like to get the display names ("A Team", "The Brew Team", etc.)
for item in project:
    team = item.fields.customfield_26588
    print(team)

Is there a way to get the actual display names from the custom field programatically?

A: Jira issue doesn't hold that information,  jira instance does, since they associate the field with the issueType
you can get ALL the fields form the jira Instance, and match them against the ones in the issue with the id.
jira = JIRA(server=SERVER, basic_auth=(USER, PW))
issue_x = jira.issue("TEST-101")

all_the_fields = jira.fields()
for i in all_the_fields:
    for xx in issue_x.raw['fields']:
        if i["id"] == xx:
            print(i)

A: Object of custom field looks like:

"customfield_1234": {
  "required": false,
  "schema": {...},
  "name": "Name",
  "allowedValues": [...]
}

If you want to have name of the custom field itself, you can get it from 'name' attribute of object.
So, in your code you need to use:
print team.name

Produced by Beatles collaborator George Martin, this song was actually recorded before 'The Girl Is Mine', but was released a year later.
Michael stayed at the home of Paul and his wife Linda during the recording sessions, and became friends with both. While there, Paul apparently showed Michael a booklet that showed all the songs that he owned publishing rights for.
"This is the way to make big money", he told Michael. "Every time someone records one of these songs, I get paid. Every time someone plays these songs on the radio, or in live performances, I get paid." Whoops.
George Michael first released this song in 1991, having written it in the style of a Paul McCartney ballad as a tribute to him.
14 years later, he asked McCartney to record it as a duet, and later included it on his 2006 'best of' compilation Twenty Five. The song sees the singer(s) telling a potential lover that their partner is not treating them with the kind of love respect that they can offer them.
A jazz standard recorded by everyone from Billie Holiday to Frank Sinatra, Paul took it on with another crooning legend in 2006.
For Bennett's album Duets: An American Classic, the pair collaborated in style to celebrate the American's 80th birthday.
Paui teamed up with country legend Johnny Cash to co-write this track in 1988.
It was featured on Cash's album Water from the Wells of Home, which also featured Glen Campbell, Emmylou Harris and others.

Antenatal Nurse Honored by Patient with DAISY Award
St Josephs Hospital and Medical Center
Colleen Donahue, RN, was recently honored with the DAISY Award for demonstrating skillful and compassionate care.
A nurse at Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center for 16 years, Donahue was nominated for the award by a patient who called Donahue one of the best nurses, saying, "She goes out of her way to make you feel as comfortable as possible and she truly cares."
Antenatal nurses like Donahue provide care for pregnant women who need more long-term care prior to their delivery. As such, Donahue carefully considers each patient's needs, and their loved ones needs, describing complex health care processes in terms that make it easy to understand. Her peers consider themselves fortunate to have Donahue on their team.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is part of The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation's program to recognize the super-human efforts which nurses make every day.
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation, based in Glen Ellen, Calif., was established by J. Mark Barnes and his family in memory of his son J. Patrick Barnes. J. Patrick died at the age of 33 in 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little-known autoimmune disease. The nursing care Patrick and his family received while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and families.
"We are proud to be among the hospital systems participating in The DAISY Award program," says Patty White, president and CEO of Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center. "Nurses are heroes every day. It's important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides another way for us to do that."

Home TV Show Recaps Bring It! 'Bring It!' 313 Dancing Dolls take Battle Royale in Finale
'Bring It!' 313 Dancing Dolls take Battle Royale in Finale
The Curvy Girl Diva
Dianna and the Dancing Dolls lay it all on the line in the season finale of Bring It! Tensions are high, hopes are high, everything and everybody are just high.
I have to admit that this is an intense one. I mean, every week the Dancing Dolls face a different team and for the most part, they beat said teams. But all of their practicing and sweating and dancing led them to the granddaddy of them all- Battle Royale.
After claiming a spot last week in the top four, Dianna knew she had her work cut out for her. Especially since DD would be competing against four of their biggest rivals: The Prancing Tigerettes of Memphis (PT), Elite Starz of Nashville (ESN) and the Infamous Dancerettes also of Nashville (ID). Quincy, Tyrus and John, respectfully, have been gunning for the Dolls all season long, and they finally have their chances to prove who truly is the best at the biggest competition of the year.
Dianna and the girls practice hard and to say that she works them this episode is an understatement. Camryn in definitely feeling the pressure of not only being the captain and leading the girls to victory but also because of how much weight lies on her solo. There is so much at stake, and the reality of it all get to the girls. They are tired, drained, and even Dianna has to take a step back for a second to regroup.
While DD works through their issues in the Dollhouse, DDP is also feeling the pressure of it all, in particular, Mimi. But she finds a way to take her mind off of the Battle Royale by talking about her decision to get a new booty. Yes, Mimi succumbs to the silicon bottom.
This part of the episode is interesting and disheartening. Mimi is about to turn 40 years old, and she admits that she is hella insecure. After having Camryn all those years ago, her body didn't "bounce back" and it has taken a toll on her for nearly 18 years. I get it. Everybody wants to look and feel beautiful. And when you are on a reality TV show, you are open to people talking about you in the blogs and on social media. It is a shame that a woman feels that uncertain about who she is that she hides herself and goes to such lengths. This is not a judgment on Mimi, just an observation about the world in which we live. Nevertheless, she is super stoked, and DDP helps her "celebrate" by parading around with fake asses in the parent's lounge.
Back in practice, the girls continue to struggle a bit, and even Camryn seems unsure about her solo. Dianna has created an African dance-inspired routine, which is one of Camryn's strongest areas. After everything is said and done and the worry, concern and nerves peak, all Miss D can do is call it a night and hope for the best.
The day of Battle Royale is full of excitement and anxiety. I mean, just watching it I feel it and you can damn sure see it on Dianna's face. The girls ready themselves for the first competition, which is the solo category. After the other three teams take the floor, it's time for the Dancing Dolls. When the girls take center stage, all dressed in beautiful African-inspired costumes, it is the best I have seen them dance all season. They are on point, clean and crisp. Then Camryn comes out of this box with an extravagant headpiece as the eighth world wonder, and she is breathtaking. That girl dances her ass off, and it is emotional to watch. I have never gotten choked up seeing any of them dance but seeing her and the girls in all their glory I did, and I wasn't by myself. Mimi cried, Camryn's dad cried, Dianna cried, and Camryn cried. It was truly amazing.
Before the final category, the coaches have their "run in" with each other per usual. Dianna finds them all in the hallway talking, and while yes, they are coming for the Dolls, they are coming for each other too.
In the stand battle rounds, PT beat ID, which is a questionable call because I think John's team had the better routine. But what do I know? I'm no majorette judge. The Dancing Dolls compete and beat ESN. Now, Tyrus goes ALL out do you hear me. He brings in grown as men with flowing wigs. He brings in grown ass women. They are strong and intimidating dancers and even taunt DD at the end of their routine. That pisses Dianna off. She walks on the floor and tells the girls, "Don't change nothing, beat their asses." They do, but it looked bleak for a second.
During the final round, the Prancing Tigerettes bring everything they have on the dance floor. There are lifts, there are flips, there are kicks. But nothing they do compares to the Dolls. Diana pulls out all the stops, and the entire Doll House is in on the routine; The baby dolls, the battle squad, and alumni. It is a major production and Quincy sits on the sidelines looking like, "Really?"
In the end, the Dancing Dolls take first place in the solo category and stand battle. This season finale was explosive, and the girls danced the best they ever have. They wanted Battle Royale so badly, and the got it. More than that, though, they earned it.

GE Energy is the energy arm of GE Infrastructure. GE Infrastructure is one of the six core businesses of General Electric, the diversified global company with interests spanning from aircraft engines, power generation, water processing and security technology to medical imaging, business and consumer financing, media content and advanced materials.
GE Energy is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2006 it generated revenue of $19 billion. On its website GE-Energy states that it "works in all areas of the energy industry including coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear energy; renewable resources such as water, wind, solar and biogas; and other alternative fuels." GE Energy boasts that it hgas approximately 36,000 employees operating in over 100 countries. In a backgrounder on the company it states that over 10,000 gas turbines in both planes and energy plants have been installed as well as over 3,390 steam turbines, 6,000 gas engines, 8,650 wind turbines and 56 nuclear plants.
GE Energy has provided technology to the nuclear industry for more than 50 years. Its business divides into four main sections: new reactors, nuclear fuel, reactor services and performance services.
Like most other companies involved in nuclear power, GE Energy is attempting to rebrand nuclear as a green technology. Its website says: "At GE, we're dedicated to meeting the world's energy requirements with solutions that help protect and preserve our environment. That's why we're committed to helping nuclear power plants operate safely and with greater efficiency and output."
In addition to the US, GE Energy has a major presence in Canada, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Norway.
General Electric has been pushing the case for nuclear in the UK for several years.
In September 2004, Andrew White, chairman and chief executive officer of General Electric's global nuclear unit, said: "It's vital for the UK to support nuclear energy. I don't see a good energy policy in the UK to meet Kyoto and secure supplies".
In 2006, GE Infrastructure, one of GE's six divisions, set out the company's view on the future of the UK's nuclear energy industry, in a submission to the Department for Trade and Industry's consultation 'Our Energy Challenge – Securing clean affordable energy for the long-term', which followed the 2003 Energy White Paper. The document stated that GE wants to see "nuclear… back on the permitting agenda with standardized approval procedures for new build that ensures fast and economic deployment, to ensure security of supply while meeting environmental safety objectives."
A sustainable waste management policy is put in place".
According to an article in Sunday Business in January 2006, General Electric has "begun a lobbying campaign for its Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) design to be used in the UK's next generation of nuclear reactors. GE Nuclear chief executive Andy White told The Business he had discussed using GE&'s technology with UK nuclear company British Energy, Eon UK and EdF Energy, the two UK companies seen as the leaders of any potential new build. He also said he had met Prime Minister Tony Blair last year and briefed officials at the Department of Trade and Industry.

Bosherston, St Michael and All Angels
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
BY DAVID ROSS, EDITOR
Historic Connections
HERITAGE RATING:
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: 14th century effigies
St Michael and All angels Church, Bosherston
St Michael's Church in Bosherston is a late 13th century Norman church, built in form of a cross, on site of an earlier church. The 1st Earl of Cawdor of Stackpole Court, on whose estate the church was sited, had it restored in 1855. The Cawdor arms feature in the floor tiles in the chancel and the sanctuary.
The first thing you see on entering the church is the simple Norman font, which predates the current building and must have been preserved from the earlier church.
Another historic highlight is below the north transept window, where you will find a medieval tomb niche with a very worn effigy of a woman. The woman is thought to be the dowager Duchess of Buckingham, ancestor of the Dukes of Norfolk. She is shown to be a widow because she is shown wearing a veil and a cloak.
There is a second tomb niche and effigy in the south transept, where a figure of a 14th-century knight lies on a stone slab. The very useful church guide says that he was a Crusader but gives no evidence to support this claim.
On the north wall of the nave is a memorial to the men of Bosherston who died in WWI, and a coast guard sailor who died in the line of duty during WWII.
Outside in the churchyard is a preaching cross with a carved face in the centre of the cross. It is unusual in being so short, and the carving of a face in the middle of the shaft is also rare.
One rather amusing touch is provided by a large notice in a wooden frame, titled 'A Notice of Kindred and Affinity', laying out in exact terms just who was allowed to marry who under Church of England rules. We learn, for example, that a woman must not marry her husband's mother's brother, or a man marry his wife's daughter's daughter.
The east window was installed in honour of Rev. William Allen, rector from 1831-1872. Allen's wife Francis left behind a diary covering the years 1832-1865. It provides a fascinating insight into the lives of country clergy in the Victorian period. Copies of the diary are available in the church.
The transept windows were installed in honour of another rector, The Venerable David Williams, who served the parish from 1913-1920 and was also Archdeacon of St David's during that period.
The squint window and west window were given by Mrs Evans, schoolmistress. The squint is in honour of her husband, Petty Officer George Evans, who died in the Battle of Jutland, and the west window in honour of her father, James Davies of Pembroke Dock.
St Michaels is usually open daylight hours. Immediately beyond the churchyard is the National Trust parking area, giving access to the Bosherston Lily Ponds, famous for their lush display of lilies in summer.

Roger Ernest Jenkins (May 1931 – 21 December 2022) was a British theatre and television director who directed multiple British television productions from the mid-1950s until the 1980s as well as directing, producing, and filming numerous stage plays.

Life and career

Early life and education
Jenkins was born in May 1931. He was educated at Bristol Grammar School, and subsequently attended St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he read English from 1950 to 1953. It was a time when the Cambridge amateur theatre scene was dominated by Peter Hall, with whom Jenkins shared rooms in college. During his time at Cambridge, Jenkins acted in and directed numerous productions for the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (ADC) and the Marlowe Society.  After leaving Cambridge in 1953, Jenkins worked as a producer trainee for BBC Radio for two years. In addition to his work as a studio manager, he acted in numerous amateur productions at London theatres and in 1961 returned to Cambridge to direct a Marlowe Society production of Jean Anouilh's The Lark with the young Ian McKellen as Warwick.

Years at Associated-Rediffusion
In 1955, Jenkins became a staff director at Associated-Rediffusion, the UK's first commercial television company, a position he was to hold for the next five years. He directed four programmes in the first week of commercial television and directed children's programmes with Rolf Harris and Charlie Drake, and light entertainment programmes with Cy Grant. Jenkins also directed the first schools' series in the UK, The Ballad Story and the first schools' play, Macbeth (with William Devlin, Mary Morris and Miles Malleson), followed by Dr Faustus (with Paul Rogers, Judi Dench, Patrick Troughton), She Stoops to Conquer (with Paul Daneman, Jane Downs), and Twelfth Night (with John Wood, Laurence Hardy, Emrys James).

For Associated-Rediffusion's drama department, Jenkins directed nine episodes of Murder Bag, six episodes of Crime Street and one episode of their successor No Hiding Place with Raymond Francis. He also directed two television plays for the company in 1959—The Guardsman's Cup of Tea by Thomas Browne (with Michael Craig, Barbara Shelley, Margot Grahame, January 1959) and The Extra Grave (with Michael Gough, Isabel Dean, July 1959).

Freelance career
In November 1960, Jenkins resigned from Associated-Rediffusion to work as a freelance television, theatre, and film director. Over the next 30 years he directed or produced numerous episodes of television series. His directing credits included Z-Cars, Out of the Unknown, The Troubleshooters, Poldark, Coronation Street and Howard's Way. He also made instructional videos and worked as an executive producer for Trans World International. Through his film company, Hyperion Films, he produced  The Great Event, a documentary on the Badminton Horse Trials, for BBC television and produced and directed development work for a Channel 4 series on British Library manuscripts.

Later years
Jenkins set up The Archive of Theatre Performance (ATP) in 1989 to make archival video recordings of theatre performances. From 1991 to 1993 he was a video consultant at the Theatre Museum and from 1994 to 1995 was a video consultant at the British Library.

Jenkins formed The Meysey Players in 1996 to perform outdoor summer amateur productions of plays in the Cotswolds. Between 1997 and 2005, he produced and directed Love's Labours Lost, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sweet Jack Falstaff (from Henry IV parts 1 and 2), The Rivals, Much Ado About Nothing, The Wind in the Willows, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and The Cherry Orchard.

In 2001 he formed Duveen Productions with Simon Langton to pursue a project on the relationship between the art connoisseur Bernard Berenson and the art dealer Joseph Duveen. In 2004 the company co-produced The Old Masters by Simon Gray (based on a treatment by Jenkins) at The Comedy Theatre, London with Edward Fox, Peter Bowles, and Barbara Jefford. The play subsequently had its US Premiere at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut in January 2011 with Sam Waterston and Brian Murray.

Personal life and death
During retirement, Jenkins lived in a village in the Cotswolds with his wife Joan. The couple had two children; a son and daughter.

Jenkins died on 21 December 2022, at the age of 91.

Out of absolutely nowhere, Nintendo has just announced a brand new Nintendo 2DS XL. It'll cost $149.99 in America and release on July 28th.
It'll have a brand new folding design as well as the C-Stick that the New 3DS invented just a few years ago. It'll have the same fast processing power of the NEW 3DS too, without the 3D capabilities.
We're still waiting on Australian details. Honestly, this seems a little bit questionable. $150 USD is expensive. It's more expensive than the 2DS and we're not really sure what demographic this is for.
