East African Life-Writing and Colonial History: New Perspectives from EAP Tanzanian Church Records
Among the many fascinating sources from the Endangered Archives Programme's EAP099 project, which conserved and digitised records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania, is a set of Swahili-language essays, written in 1913 by young men at a German-led teacher training school.
The essays, written by 32 different authors on the subjects of their childhood and conversion to Christianity, are valuable examples of African life-writing during the era of European colonialism. Some of the authors went on to become leading church ministers and teachers. Others are unknown beyond the information left behind in these essays, which provide insights into early experiences of German colonial rule, reasons for conversion, and the impact of missionary activities on indigenous communities.
I came across the texts while conducting research for a three-month PhD Placement, in which I have been exploring the British Library's collections for new perspectives on German colonial history. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania evolved from the Leipzig Mission, one of several German missions active in the region after it became the colony of German East Africa in 1885. The British Library has digital copies of Leipzig Mission sources, mostly produced between 1895 and the 1930s, which are held in the archive of the Northern Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Moshi, Tanzania.
The role of Christian missions in European colonial projects is the subject of continuing debate. Missionaries' goals sometimes conflicted with those of settlers and colonial administrations, and they occasionally helped to expose colonial atrocities. However, almost all missionaries supported European colonialism in principle, and missions were involved in various labour and educational initiatives to 'elevate' supposedly backward indigenous populations.

Around 95 percent of schools in German colonies were run by missions. As the school system in German East Africa expanded, it became necessary to train local people to become teachers, and to this end the Leipzig Mission opened the Marangu training school for teaching assistants in 1912. Among the first entrants were the young men who, in December 1913, were given the task of writing two essays: one about their early life, and another about their process of conversion.
The texts do not reflect local experiences of colonialism in all their variety. Most subaltern works of life-writing from the colonial era were produced in missionary contexts, and memoir material from those who refused to convert to Christianity is much more seldom. Furthermore, the students at Marangu came from various linguistically diverse parts of Tanzania, and had learned Swahili only upon joining mission schools. We do not know how far the challenge of writing in a second language affected the authors' ability to tell their stories in the way they would have liked.
The essays nonetheless provide remarkable insights into life in Tanzania during the colonial era. We learn, for example, of the brutalities of German rule. Elia Tarimo's essay on his childhood recalls the German army's defeat of Chief Meli, the leader of the town of Moshi, in 1892, and the catastrophic consequences for Moshi civilians. 'When the Europeans had defeated the Moshi people, they chopped down our banana trees, burned our houses and stayed on our land', he writes.
An essay by Nderangusho Kimaro shows the effects of the 'hut tax', introduced by the German colonial authorities in 1898. Designed in part to make local people work on European plantations to raise the necessary money, the tax was enforced ruthlessly: failure to pay often resulted in askari (East African soldiers in the German colonial army) confiscating cattle. The local chief was sometimes held hostage until those in his village paid the tax.

When Kimaro's mother could not afford to pay, her chief sold her livestock in order to gather the funds. Kimaro was then sent to work as a child labourer on a German plantation, and writes that he was beaten whenever he did not go to work there.
We also find out more about the authors' reasons for converting to Christianity. Initial motivations for visiting the missionaries included the desire to learn to read and access to material benefits. An acquaintance with Christian teaching usually followed only later. Furthermore, the essays describe the strains on the authors' relations with their family, friends and community in greater detail than most of the 'conversion' accounts by Africans which were published in Europe.
For many of the essay-writers, becoming a Christian meant ceasing to venerate one's ancestors. This led to conflicts with friends and relatives. Elia Tarimo describes vividly the sense of fear as his family warned him that the spirit of his father, who was killed by the German forces in 1892, would in turn kill Tarimo if he embraced European culture. His teacher, however, told him that he would be condemned to hell if he did not convert before he died.
While some authors write of estrangement, others were eventually welcomed back by their families once they had been baptised. In some instances, the authors were not the only converts within their household. Filipo Njau's decision to embrace Christianity was made easier by the fact that other family members had already done so. The essays thus hint at a variety of responses within communities to the changing circumstances caused by the European colonial presence.
Njau's candid essay provides details on the early life of a long-serving representative of East African Christians. From 1926 until 1954, Njau worked as a teacher at the Marangu school at which he had been trained, and stood up for the dignity of Africans within the Church. He opposed, for example, the attempts by some white missionaries to uphold racist clothing distinctions by prohibiting black parishioners from wearing shoes.

My analysis of Njau's text, and those of the other authors, relies upon German translations published in three volumes by Klaus-Peter Kiesel, who adds rich contextual information. Swahili speakers, however, will be able to read the digitised copies for themselves, and I hope that the essays will find wider audiences. Together with the church registers, parish council minutes, diaries and other source material digitised as part of the EAP099 project, they offer great potential for further research into the colonial, religious and social history of East Africa.
My thanks go to Professor Adam Jones for giving me permission to use the photos from the Leipzig Mission's archive, and for providing further information about the historical context and the Endangered Archives Project EAP099.

New online - July 2021
This month's round-up of newly available collections features archives from Nepal, Serbia, and Ghana.
Digitisation of the photographic collection from DirghaMan and GaneshMan Chitrakar Art Foundation [EAP838]
Safeguarding the fragile collection of the private archive of the Lazic family [EAP833]
Safeguarding the British Colonial and Regional Administrative Archive in Northern Ghana [EAP935]
EAP838 - The DirghaMan and GaneshMan Chitrakar Art Foundation photographic collection
Prime Minister Juddha Shamsher after his resignation from the prime-ministership (governed 1932-1945) and abdication as maharaja of Kaski and Lamjung, on his way to the sacred site of Ridi in West-Central Nepal, to live the life of a sanyasi, a Hindu religious mendicant. [EAP838/1/1/1/161]
This important and unique collection of photographs gives a fascinating insight into life in Nepal at a time when the country was under self-imposed isolation from the outside world. During this period cameras were still quite rare and only owned by the elites and court photographers. As a result, there are relatively few photographic records documenting late 19th and early 20th Century Nepal.
The collection consists of images taken by the Royal Painter and Court Photographer Dirgha Man Chitrakar (1877-1951), and his only son Ganesh Man Chitrakar (1916-1985), who took over the role in 1945. Dirgha Man was a skilled painter and employed in the palace from the age of 14. After his brother received treatment from the Court Physician, Dirgha Man presented him with a painted medallion as a way of thanks. Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher (ruled 1901-1929) saw this medallion and impressed with the painting skills, decided to employ him as Royal Painter and Court Photographer in his palace. This important role enabled him to capture court and local life, official events and state visits that otherwise would not have been recorded.

After his father retired at the age of 71, Ganesh Man took over the role of Royal Painter and Court Photographer. After the country opened up to the outside world at the end of the Rana rule in 1951, Ganesh Man then worked for USAID as Chief Photographer where he documented the landscape of Kathmandu Valley and the surrounding cities. He made the first aerial photographs in 1955 and was the first person in the country to develop colour slides. He also opened a black and white photo studio, Ganesh Photo Lab., in 1971.
Their photographs are a rich resource that captures key moments in Nepal's history. The photographs include portraits, diplomatic visits, landscapes, historic structures, and festivals. They capture images of urbanization, changes in the lifestyle and infrastructural transformation in Nepal. The collection is not only one family's patrimony but also an account of Nepal's history.
EAP833 - The Lazic family private archive
Left: The Serbian Fatherland: a monthly magazine for Serbian youth in exile (1917) [EAP833/1/2/1/2]; Right: From the war days: 1912-1917 [EAP833/1/1/73]
This project digitised and preserved valuable private archives and library collections owned by the Lazić family in Serbia, who for six generations have collected important and rare material. Aleksandar Lazić (1846–1916) was the founder and owner of the Library until 1910 when his son Luka Lazić (1876-1946) took over and enriched the collection with material documenting the Great War. He acquired much of the material in or around the battlefield and continued to purchase related material until his death in 1946. Along with his son and successor Milorad Lazić (1912–1977), they also accumulated a significant collection of law books. The majority of these were acquired between 1930-1950 and are crucial for theoretical and historical research of the Serbian state, law, and society. The collection has continued to grow as other members of the Lazić family care for this important archive.
Much of this material relating to the First World War is unique and not found in any other library or archive. The collection includes Serbian newspapers printed in exile in Corfu and Thessaloniki during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Serbia. There are also copies of the rare journal 'Pregled Listova', published in Geneva for members of the Serbian government in exile.
EAP935 - Safeguarding the British Colonial and Regional Administrative Archive in Northern Ghana
Left: Land & Native Rights Ordinance 1951-1955 [EAP935/1/1/4]; Right: Soil Survey 1951-1956 [EAP935/1/1/6]
This project continued the work of two previous EAP projects (EAP256 and EAP541) to digitise the material from the Public Records and Archives Administration (PRAAD) in Tamale, northern Ghana. During the earlier projects, the research team was able to assess PRAAD's collection of rare historical records on the colonial administration and history of Northern Ghana, resulting in a comprehensive survey of the Northern Regional Administration Records and District Assembly Records collections. Subsequently, through the EAP541 Major project, the research team digitised five records series amounting to 126,239 images. The EAP935 project completed this work by digitising a further eight collections, adding over 212,000 images to the archive from three regions of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast: Northern region records collections, Upper West Region records collection and Upper East Region records collection.

Reflections on a virtual placement with EAP
Over the past two weeks, we have hosted five UCL Archives and Records Management MA students. As part of their placement, they completed three projects and each of the students has contributed to this blog, reflecting on what they did during their time with us.
Project 1: Connecting EAP with Wikipedia
Over the course of my placement, I created and edited Wikipedia articles relating to two pioneering women photographers from the EAP collection. Marie-Lydie Bonfils, an early woman photographer and co-owner of a Beirut photographic studio, sadly did not have an existing article. So, I created one, also linking to it from other articles for readers to access the page.
Next, I expanded the article of similarly fascinating German-Argentinian celebrity photographer, Annemarie Heinrich.
I interact with Wikipedia on a near-daily basis, looking up a celebrity, checking the origin of a phrase, or falling down a spiral researching the history of bowler hats. However, I was a novice editor at best. While I knew that Wikipedia articles are created by many, I underestimated the level of community involvement. Editors highlight their interests with 'userboxes', icons with a nostalgic old-school social media feel.
In talk pages on every article, users discuss the facts, but also the language, structure, citations and specific wording.
Editing Wikipedia has made me think more productively about my writing, as we were encouraged to see our articles as ongoing and collaborative projects. Using Wikipedia is to invite others to edit and expand upon your work.
It has been a wonderful experience working with the EAP on this placement and improving the visibility of two incredible women on Wikipedia.
I have been working on connecting EAP to Wikipedia. Before the placement, I hadn't edited Wikipedia entries, nor had I thought of it as an outreach tool for archive collections. The placement has made me confident in creating and editing Wikipedia articles, understanding copyright considerations and utilising Wikipedia's possibilities in an archival outreach context.
I decided to work with Syliphone, a Guinean record label. I was surprised that Syliphone didn't have a Wikipedia page - its influence over the developments in West African popular music from the late 1960s to the mid 80s were well noted. In 2016, The British Library made available The Syliphone Archive containing over 7000 digitised recordings from the label and their recording studios. I must have spent most of one of the days just exploring the collection, listening to the recordings. If I had to pick just one to recommend it would be the wonderful Sona Diabate Des Amazones - 22 Kele. Released in 1983, it was one of the final releases on the label and as such it really showcases the blending of modern and traditional West African music practice - it's an 8-minute-long epic of happy/sad plucked guitar and marimba accompaniment. I could have it on repeat forever.
I really enjoyed my time working with EAP. All the support from the team has made for an informative experience. Their guidance and approachability has helped me produce a finalised Syliphone Wikipedia article. I hope it will draw people to the magic of The Syliphone Archive for years to come.
Project 2: Creating 'how-to' guides showing how to navigate EAP content
There was concern when I began my course at UCL that I would be unable to take part in a placement, but thankfully this was made possible. I was particularly pleased to be working with the British Library, having enjoyed the institution many times.
My project was writing How-To Guides for the Endangered Archives Programme with Thomas. I have had trouble navigating online catalogues, with guides not always being helpful. I agreed to work on finding the best search methods including the facets available on the website.
I found it tricky trying to put the instructions into a simple-to-understand manner for people who may not have English as a first language, altering words like "experience" to "practise", finding this a useful experience in considering how to make material more accessible. My work was overall interesting and satisfying and will hopefully assist others in searching the EAP website. I was able to appreciate how fascinating the Endangered Archives were, gaining a glimpse of the extensive information on display. I found my contact to be very helpful in clarifying the details. I would certainly recommend the British Library for research or for volunteer opportunities.
When deciding to carry out my Masters this year, I did this with the knowledge that placements may not be an option. However, thanks to the kind people at the British Library and, I am sure many others, myself and my fellow students have been able to access placement opportunities albeit remotely. Despite this, I have found the experience to be both informative, enjoyable, and challenging.
I was tasked, alongside Felix, to create "How-to Guides" for the Endangered Archives Programme (EAP). My role focussed on the Library's Explore Archives and Manuscripts catalogue as well as EAP's interactive map. Writing guides on these sections allowed me to explore and delve into the EAP's website and further my understanding of online and digitised collections, whilst also expanding my knowledge of both EAP and its collections.
If any future students are hesitant to work with/alongside EAP I would highly advise it, as their staff are highly knowledgeable and passionate, and will aid you in both your given tasks and in understanding the archival world outside of a lecture theatre (Zoom call).
Project 3: Develop archival standards guide for non-specialists
John-Francis
While the experience of a virtual work placement was a new one for me, I found the experience rewarding and enjoyed learning about the everyday work of the Endangered Archives Programme team.
My task was to create a guide explaining archival hierarchies to EAP cataloguers who may not have a background working with archives. I explained why archives are arranged in hierarchies, and used examples from EAP collections to illustrate the different ways that a collection could be structured. I hope that my guide will be a useful resource for future projects, and that it will help the EAP staff when communicating with project teams around the world.
Spending time in the EAP catalogue gave me a chance to explore some of the fantastic music that has been digitised as part of EAP projects. I particularly enjoyed discovering the Syliphone record label recordings, an archive of sound recordings originally released on post-independence Guinea's state-funded music label (discussed in more detail by Jack).
While I only scratched the surface of this huge collection, whose digitisation was funded through three EAP grants, my personal highlights were a balafon performance by the Ballet Djoliba, and this incredible unknown performer playing a pastoral flute.
The EAP team would really like to thank Hope, Jack, Felix, Thomas and John-Francis. It has been a joy working with them and they all produced fantastic material for us. We just hope we will be able to meet them in person before too long!

New Collections Online - November 2020
Again it's the time of month to round-up which EAP funded projects are newly available online to view over the past few weeks. This month we have made available the following four projects:
Photographic archive of the 'Vasile Parvan' Institute of Archaeology, Bucharest, Romania [EAP816]
The Last National Newspapers in Mongolia Printed in Traditional Script [EAP890]
District Administration Books for Regions in the Former British Colonial Territory of Nyasaland (Malawi) [EAP920]
Documents from the Archives of Land Registration Division and Lands Commission of Ghana [EAP1119]
Continue reading for summaries of these projects, and to find out what we've made available previously, take a look at our other recent monthly posts.
EAP816 - Photographic archive of the 'Vasile Parvan' Institute of Archaeology, Bucharest, Romania
This project was previously on an old version of the EAP website. Due to some technical issues it has only just been made available to view again.
The 'Vasile Parvan' Institute of Archaeology's photography archive provides a unique source of information for archaeological research in Romania, especially of the Black Sea region. Over 2000 photographs have been digitised showing a wide range of activities covering the period 1875-1925. A large number of archaeological sites and monuments, then surviving across Romania, are represented in a vast array of excavation, exploration and restoration photographs. Many of the archaeological sites and landscapes represented in the photographs, along with a host of medieval churches and many villages, were totally destroyed during and after the two World Wars.
The majority of the earliest material focuses on the Romanian Black Sea area, a region called Dobrogea, the richest region of Romania in terms of its archaeological heritage. It also used to be the most ethnically diverse region of Romania and until the end of World War I was one of the most rural and arid. In the 1960s and 1970s huge agricultural programmes resulted in the loss of entire villages along with archaeological remains.
Archaeological artefacts – pottery, sculptures, metal objects – are also represented, along with other items of major historical importance: objects of religious art, paintings, sculptures and fabrics, many of them subsequently destroyed or lost, sometimes plundered by German, Russian or other troops during the wars that have affected Romania in the past 150 years. The on-site images include extremely beautiful local ethnographic photographs and rural landscape images depicting a world long gone.
EAP890 - The Last National Newspapers in Mongolia Printed in Traditional Script
This project digitised over 900 editions of two newspapers held at the Sukhbaatar District Library, Mongolia. These newspapers were the last printed in the traditional Mongolian script before the change to using Cyrillic in 1945. The editions cover a period of major national and international change: 1936-1945.
The two newspaper titles are available to view here:
Ardyn Undesnii [Erkh Ардын Үндэсний Эрх] (1936-1941)
Unen [Үнэн] (1942-1945)
You may also be interested in this recently published blog post which looks into some of the issues surrounding the change from traditional Mongolian script to Cyrillic:
What's in a name? The Sovietisation of the Mongolian language and the Challenges of Reversal
EAP920 - District Administration Books for Regions in the Former British Colonial Territory of Nyasaland (Malawi)
This project digitised District Notebooks created by officers during the British colonial rule of Nyasaland, now Malawi. These notebooks were used to record detailed information regarding local institutions, people, and customs. It was deemed important to record in order to serve the interests of government, as well as for anthropologists and other potential users of this information. All British officers who served as District Commissioners were required to maintain such notebooks, which were then handed over to succeeding officers.
Common subjects dealt with in the district notebooks included 'handing in' and 'taking over' notes, tribal history, notes on population and statistics, succession and inheritance, native social beliefs and customs, health and sanitation, economics, labour, natural history, military medals, metrology etc.
These books were originally located in the respective districts of Dedza, Dowa, Fort Manning, (Mchinji), Karonga, Kasunga, Kota-kota (Nkhota-kota), Lilongwe, Mzimba, and Nkhatabay. As part of this project these books were relocated for preservation at the National Archive of Malawi.
EAP1119 - Documents from the Archives of Land Registration Division and Lands Commission of Ghana
This pilot project digitised a small selection of deed and mortgage registers, as well as some additional related records. The records were all created in the period 1843-1909 when Ghana was part of the British colony known as the Gold Coast. These records are an important source for research into land ownership and the registration and acquisition of land for public purposes. Other potential avenues of research identified include the commercial and industrial activities of named persons, and history of residential settlement in the region.
Please check back again next month for another round-up of collections made available. You may also want to follow us on Twitter for earlier updates about which collections are newly available, as well as other related news.

New Collections Online - October 2020
The latest set of projects to go online are truly global, spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. Here's a brief summary:
The Palace Archives of the Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim [EAP880]
Government and Church Records from the Turks and Caicos Islands [EAP914]
19th Century Bulgarian Manuscripts [EAP989]
The Ghana Railway Corporation Archive [EAP1144]
EAP880 - The Palace Archives of the Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim
Located near the Himilayas, where India meets China, Sikkim is one of the newest Indian states, merging with India in 1975. This project digitised the hitherto neglected royal archives of the former Himalayan Buddhist kingdom of Sikkim. It contains a wealth of invaluable documents that date between 1807 and 1998. As such, this collection offers crucial insights into crucial historical events including the merger with India in 1975 and military border clashes between India and China.
This collection covers the entire spectrum of political activities, from domestic and religious issues to foreign affairs. This archive therefore offers unique and important insights into the history of this kingdom and its geopolitical significance.
While it is an archive that represents elite perspectives, the Sikkim Palace Archives is also the first collection of local origin to be made freely and universally accessible for international scholarship, presenting a perspective of events and characters as experienced from within looking out. This provides a valuable contrast to the earlier need to rely very largely on colonial sources for the history of Sikkim. The collection adds considerably to the available sources on the history and culture of Sikkim, with very little duplication of material with that available elsewhere, namely in the British Library's India Office collection, and to a lesser extent in the National Archives of India and the Sikkim State Archives.
EAP914 - Government and Church Records from the Turks and Caicos Islands
This project digitised some of the most vulnerable and important collections located at the Turks and Caicos National Museum. It contains two sub-collections:
The government records include documents and correspondence involving the colonial secretary and despatches to the governor-in-chief. It also includes legislative and executive council records. This collection thus offers important insights into the colonial governance of the islands, which is still a British Overseas Territory.
Meanwhile, both the government and church collections contain registers of births, baptisms, marriages, burials, and wills. The church collection includes both Methodist and Anglican church records, spanning 1799-1922. These registers provide an invaluable resource for genealogists researching their family history.
EAP989 - 19th Century Bulgarian Manuscripts
This pilot project focused on three collections of 19th century and early 20th century manuscripts located at the Institute for Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum, within the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. It produced a detailed survey of the collections and digitised a sample of manuscripts.
These manuscripts reflect the cultural and folklore heritage of Bulgarian and Balkan areas and include hand painted texts, images, and notated songs.
EAP1144 - The Ghana Railway Corporation Archive
The EAP1144 project team encountered an archive that was in a significant state of disrepair. One of their first tasks was to erect plastic sheets to provide immediate protection to the documents from rain water leaking through the roof.
This pilot project resulted in a survey of the archive and the digitisation of a sample of documents. These include 68 personnel files for railway employees and two files containing correspondence.

New Collections Online - September 2020
As the UK transitions from summer to autumn, EAP continues to publish newly digitised content. So as autumn leaves drift by your window, why not let these digital collections keep your curiosity warm?
Arabic manuscripts from the Yattara Family Libary, Timbuktu, Mali [EAP913]
Wills, Deed Books, and Power of Attorney records from the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, St Vincent [EAP1013]
Mathematical Manuscripts from Pre-Modern India [EAP1063]
District Administration Reports from the Colonial Territory Nyasaland (Malawi) [EAP1231]
From religious and mathematical manuscripts in South Asia and West Africa to colonial administration in East Africa and slavery related records in the Caribbean, these recently published collections once again represent the wide breadth of material that has and continues to be digitised by EAP project teams all over the world.
EAP913 - Arabic manuscripts from the Yattara Family Library, Timbuktu, Mali
The Yattara family library is a private manuscript collection that has been developed over centuries by a prominent family from the Malian city of Timbuktu. It consists of approximately 4,000 largely uncatalogued manuscripts ranging from single folio letters and historical documents to 100+ folio texts from diverse fields of Islamic studies.
This pilot project aimed to orchestrate initial cataloguing and triage preservation for the collection and to digitise a representative sample of the library's holdings. The project team digitised 50 manuscripts, which are now free to access on the EAP website.
Although the collection originates from Timbuktu, the manuscripts themselves were widely traded and have likely been produced in various parts of the regions surrounding that historical centre of scholarship. Most of the works date from the late 18th to the early 20th century and show the varied nature of manufacture and preservation of manuscripts from this region.
Currently, the material is located in Bamako after the library was moved for protection when Timbuktu was occupied by jihadist insurgents in 2012.
EAP1013 - Wills, Deed Books, and Power of Attorney records from the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, St Vincent
This project sought to digitise documents relating to slavery and the immediate post-slavery era held at the Eastern Caribbean Courthouse, Kingstown, Saint Vincent. The digital collection includes:
Deed Books [1774-1857]
Power of Attorney [1789-1880]
Secretary's Record Book [1812-1813]
Marriages, Baptisms, and Burials Registers [1765-1820]
Wills [1800-1835]
French Power of Attorney volume [1789-1800]
Saint Vincent was an important sugar producing colony of the British Empire and the documents contain extensive information on land transactions, plantation ownership, testamentary practices, and slaveholding. These records are essential for investigation of slavery and plantation life on Saint Vincent and the post-slavery period from 1834 to 1865.
This pilot project was an extension of two previously completed investigations (EAP345 and EAP688) that digitised Deed Books for Saint Vincent.
EAP1063 - Mathematical Manuscripts from Pre-Modern India
This pilot project created a survey of historical Tamil and Malayalam language sources concerning mathematical practices among various occupations, communities, and institutions of teaching and learning. It digitised seven collections of manuscripts identified by the survey.
One surprising aspect of the survey was the large amount of manuscripts concerning architecture, which are often called the Manaiyadi Sastiram or Manai Alankaram and have hitherto received little attention from historians.

Appeals made by Most-Híd chairman Béla Bugár to the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) to take disciplinary action against Constitutional Committee chairman and KDH MP Radoslav Procházka over his decision to vote for an opposition amendment to the State Citizenship Act will fall on deaf ears, Procházka said on Thursday, February 10.
"I've got support among my party," he assured journalists, although he conceded that his vote had not made his KDH colleagues especially happy. When asked whether he thought he had made a wise choice, Procházka told the TASR newswire: "I carried out the manifesto ... that looks towards the reduction of undesirable consequences stemming from current legislation."
Igor Matovič (Freedom and Solidarity (SaS)), who also voted in favour of the opposition Smer party's amending proposal to the State Citizenship Act, was expelled from the SaS caucus on Thursday.


The Times on Saturday reported on video footage which appears to show poor conditions at a poultry farm in Dorset.

General Lee, Southern Commander
General Robert E. Lee has become a victim of 21st century cancel culture, with his statues being torn down across the country, and his name replaced on schools and other official buildings. I chose Lee as the subject of my next Knowledge Keepers project when the elementary school in my town had the name of Lee replaced with a generic town/school name.
If the schools that educate the majority of our children will rename a school that had proudly displayed the name of well-respected General, what does that say about the deeper levels of education? What books are in the school library? What message does that send to the parents and the students? What is being taught about Lee and the entire Civil War?
As with many important figures in our history, Lee has been reduced to a racist, Confederate-flag-waving villain in the popular culture. The only way this could happen is for generations to have grown up not knowing or caring about his life and work, and those of many of our founders.
General Lee, Southern Commander combines two out-of-print history books into one volume: It includes a biography of Lee, originally published (with the General's permission) in 1876, as well as a wonderful collection of letters published by his son and fellow Confederate soldier, Captain Robert E. Lee, Jr., in 1923.
Also available on Amazon with Prime shipping.
808 pages. Paperback.

History is best learned from those who witnessed it. General Lee: Southern Commander is the a two-volume work that includes a biography of Lee, originally published (with the General's permission) in 1876, as well as a wonderful collection of letters published by his son and fellow Confederate soldier, Captain Robert E. Lee, Jr., in 1923.
The main text of this book is "A Life of General Robert E. Lee" by John Eston Cooke, originally published in 1876. As you will read in the introduction, Cooke actually submitted his manuscript to Lee himself for approval, and it was granted. It is a wonderful mix of war scenes and commentary on the General's life and character. The book has been printed in its original form, including some old-fashioned spellings.
Woven throughout Cooke's biography is "Recollections and Letters of Robert E. Lee" by Captain Robert E. Lee, his son who served in the Army of Northern Virginia under his father. Some sections have short pieces of letters and recollections, while the end of the book, after the war, includes many pages of these firsthand accounts.
This wonderful mix of biography and firsthand accounts skillfully tells of the life of Robert E. Lee, beginning with his ancestors, and trailing down the family tree to his father, Revolutionary war hero Harry "Lighthorse" Lee (with descriptions of many other illustrious freedom-fighters in his parentage). Cooke tells of his family's long history in Virginia, their close ties with many of the Founding Fathers and their families (he married George Washington's granddaughter), and his fierce devotion to the United States…until Virginia chose secession.
The book then weaves back and forth from military tactics and famous Civil War battles to personal details and character studies of Lee, his generals, and his opposition on the Union side. The recollections of Robert E. Lee, Jr.. appear throughout, along with General Lee's letters to is family and others, adding a very human touch to a sweeping narrative of many major Civil War battles.
The last chapters of this book tell of Lee's life after the war, infused with his many letters, as well the account of his death and multple tributes from around the United States and the world.
This Knowledge Keepers reprint is for the purpose of preserving American History in print for posterity. It includes the original text of both books, as well as their footnotes, and has the new addition of multple photos of Lee and many other personalities and places from the Civil War.

Q: Why isn't my load cell detected by openscale? I want to measure the pull force on a rope, so I bought myself a Sparkfun OpenScale and this tensile load cell. I just received both of them, so I connected them as described and hooked the OpenScale up to my Raspberry Pi.

I then opened the terminal on the raspi and started the load cell terminal interface using screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600:
Serial Load Cell Converter version 1.0
By SparkFun Electronics
No remote sensor found
Minimum time between reports: 495
Press x to bring up settings
Readings:
1477,-32780.74,kg,21.75,0,

As you can see though, it says no remote sensor found.
I took out my multimeter and measured the voltage on the black and white connectors. When I connect the openscale to the Raspberry Pi it measures 5 volts for about 2 seconds and then it goes down to zero volts. This is in line with the docs on OpenScale which say that the voltage on the load cell is switched off if no load cell is found.
From this point on I'm kinda lost. Does this mean that the load cell is broken? Or does it mean I'm doing something wrong? Does anybody know what steps I could take to find out what's wrong?

A: The "No remote sensor found" is about a remote temperature sensor, you can just ignore it.

Q: How to export as runnable desktop application java? I have use eclipse export and exported this as jar file, but it's working fine inside the eclipse test run, but not working as jar file, any one help me? (i'm new for java, this is my first app)
package com.java.folder;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.File;
import javax.swing.*;

public class javafolder extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
    private String textLine = "";
    JButton  b1, b2;
    TextField text1, text2;
    Container content = getContentPane();

    public void init() {
       text1 = new TextField(8);
       text2 = new TextField(8);
       JLabel label = new JLabel("Folder Name");
       label.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 12));
       content.add(label);
       add(text1);

       content.setBackground(Color.white);
       content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

       b1 = new JButton("Creat A Folder");
       b1.addActionListener(this);
       content.add(b1);

       b2 = new JButton("Creat A Folder");
       b2.addActionListener(this);
       //content.add(b2);
    }

    // Called when the user clicks the button
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        String s;
        textLine = event.getActionCommand();
        s = text1.getText();
        String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
        File dir=new File(path+"/"+s);
        if(dir.exists()){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Folder Name Already Exists!!! :(", "Error",
            JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

        }else{
            dir.mkdir();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Folder Created :) Folder path:"+dir, "INFORMATION_MESSAGE",
            JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
        }
    }

}

A: Right click on your Project -> Export -> Java -> Runnable JAR file
From command line :
java -jar myJar.jar

A: You have written an applet, not a "runnable desktop application", so you can export it as a jar but to execute it, you must use the "appletviewer" tool provided with the JDK, or a browser with Java support.
However a Swing applet is not very different by a small Swing desktop application.  The fundamental difference is that an application must have a "main" method, that is a method with this signature:
public static void main(String [] args)

You can convert your applet to an application with 3 simple changes:
1) Your class must extend JFrame instead of JApplet, so change the class declaration in this way:
public class TestSwing extends JFrame implements ActionListener { ... }

2) Add the following main() method:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    TestSwing myApp = new TestSwing();
    myApp.init();
}

3) Add the following lines to your init() method:
setSize(new Dimension(760, 538));
setTitle("My App Name");
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);

That's all.

A proud magic beast… is what I was once upon a time, but due to a blunder, I'm currently a tiny black cat now.
I was pessimistic about my new form and how would I live from now on, but the lass Cristea who fixed me into these appearances is feeding me with the pretext of being monitored. That's why I can somewhat manage to go on… no, speaking honestly, to be able to live this comfortably, what were all of my hardships up until now for? I am currently living such life… I think.
Not having to endure hardships, I can simply take a nap on a warm bed. When I become hungry, I don't have to go out searching for it as the food comes to me. I couldn't believe it at first.
At first, I thought that I might not get food again if I don't eat, so I devoured greedily everything, but I had calmed down by then. Rather, this lass… Cristea makes sure I eat proper amounts and doesn't let me eat more. Even when I think that I want to eat more, I find it slightly disappointing when I can't.
Usually, when the lass is with her contracted Sacred Beasts, the Fenrir Kurogane and the Holy Bear Mashiro, I loiter around the mansion, looking for a warm place to take a nap at.
When close to the lass, the desire of the Sacred Beasts to monopolize her is way too obvious, so I don't get too near. I don't think I would want to stick close to the lass if not for the fact that I have to receive her magical power periodically. Rather, it's the lass that seeks me which transfers the jealousy of the Sacred Beasts onto me, geez.
I make sure to be by Cristea's side only when the Sacred Beasts go to patrol around the mansion to check on the security. I am to contact them in case something happens, so they can warp over. It's a trifling monitoring duty. I cannot protect her myself because of the magic tool collar around my neck. Well you know, I thought that I could at least watch over her in the stead of the Sacred Beasts.
Well, I'm currently living like this.
It's just yesterday that the lass said『I'm going to the sea to catch fish tomorrow』.
I recalled the yummy fish she brought back the last time. Yep, those were tasty.
I have also gone to a sea before. I got attacked by a monster with huge magical power and nearly drowned which caused me to fear the seas.
I have not gone to a sea again ever since somehow managing to escape.
However, it seems that the lass caught yummy fish this time, so I thought that I might be able to eat freshly caught fish if I went too. The lass said『Let's go together the next time, okay!』too anyway. I might tag along.
Hearing that we are departing early in the morning, I woke up earlier than usual, went to the kitchen and got a chicken tenderloin to eat. There have been several people who give me something to eat when loitering around the mansion recently. I get snacks too, but they would mofu me just like the lass as a compensation, so I generously let myself get patted. Sometimes they go too far, so I push them aside with my claws and hit them with my tail, but they are pleased even with that. They are a weird bunch, just like the lass.
With this and that happening, I returned to the room after finishing a light breakfast, but it was completely empty. I couldn't find any presence even after searching for magical power.
… Where did they go?
While thinking so, the door opened.
I thought it might be the lass, but it was her personal maid Miria.
With my current black cat form, I don't have enough magical power to communicate via telepathy with anyone but Cristea. That's why, I can only respond to her words like this.
This Miria lifted me up and patted my back. This fellow's patting is gentle and it makes me calm down, so I obediently let myself get patted.
… Wha? Come again? They left!?
Those guys left without me?
Are you serious!? They left me behind-!
Miria got startled by my dissatisfaction and tried to soothe me.
Miria gently patted me who was feeling dejected.
… Can't be helped. I will accompany you if you say so.
I caressed Miria's arm with my tail.
Cristea earnestly apologized when she returned from the sea. She apparently completely forgot about me, so she was apologizing for a long time.
Even so, I won't forgive her so easily!
When I continued with my sulky posture, I got a heap of wonderful fish slices… something called Sashimi for the dinner. This was apparently her apology. It was fresh and delicious.
Well, let's declare our intentions of tagging along the next time she goes. Yup. Next time, I want to eat fresh fish at the sea.
… It's a secret that I was secretly sulking when I found out that she was going to a thing called academy in the future, which will decrease the opportunity to go to the sea.

blogcollaboration, France, movie, movie review
(This article contains affiliate links, which are marked with one *star)
Though I'm such a great fan of Hindi cinema, I need to tell you, that there are also some good movies made in West, which were shot in India.
Those movies, which were shot in India totally or partially, were not all made in Hollywood. Here's a list of them good Western movies, and many of them have starred review by Indivue.
GOOD WESTERN MOVIES SHOT IN INDIA
Slumdog Millionaire (2008), *****
One of the best movies is of course the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire (2008) directed by Danny Boyle and starring Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, with also Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan, familiar from Bollywood films.

"Second Wave" LNA reinforcements to be sent to Tripoli fighting
London, 9 July 2019:
The Khalifa-Hafter-led Libyan National Army (LNA) announced Friday that it was sending a "second wave" of "massive military reinforcements to resolve the Tripoli battle".
The LNA announcement comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that as the Tripoli fighting enters its fourth month, the death toll has reached 1,048 dead, including 106 civilians, and 5,558 injured, including 289 civilians.
The LNA said that it's troops and military reinforcements would be dispatched to participate in the "Flood of Dignity" operation to "liberate Tripoli from extremist and terrorist militias".
The LNA War Information Division said that these forces have considerable combat experience in how to deal with "terrorist groups" having previously participated in the battles of "liberation" of Benghazi and Derna.
Pro Tripoli media and television commentators have criticized Hafter saying that his forces are floundering post their ejection from Gharian, and that the announcement to send reinforcements is an admission of defeat in the first phase of the Tripoli fighting.
Meanwhile, LNA Commander Khalifa Haftar, was quoted by eastern-based and pro LNA media as saying that the aim of his forces was to regain control of Tripoli and "liberate it from terrorism", and not to control Libya's oil, as the "Islamist terrorist movement" claims.
Haftar was also quoted as saying that his troops are trying to prevent the "terrorist militias" from benefiting from Libya's oil revenues.
Hafter added that while the sale of Libya's oil was within the jurisdiction of the (Tripoli-based) Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC), it was the responsibility of the armed forces (LNA) to protect Libya's oil installations.
Meanwhile, Hafter's Official Spokesperson, Ahmed Mesmari, was criticised yesterday for suggesting that all buildings in Tripoli with communications aerials would be a legitimate military target.
Mesmari stressed, in a follow up social media post, that it was buildings with military aerials that could be targets. He accused the Tripoli forces of hiding behind Tripoli civilian targets.
On the other hand, pro Tripoli forces aligned to the Faiez Serraj-led Presidency Council and Government of National Accord have claimed they have cut off main supply and reinforcement routes to Hafter's forces south of Gharian and in Juffra, central Libya. This, apparently, has forced Hafter to use desert roads to supply his frontline forces.
On another note, the pro Tripoli Joint Operations Room announced that it has stopped Bani Walid airport from operating flights.
They accuse the airport of allowing Hafter to use the airport as a base for some of its air force operations.
Meanwhile, the Serraj Ministry of Interior has accused the Hafter Military Investment Authority of granting "forged visas" to Syrian passport holders to enter Libya through Benghazi's Benina airport.
The Tripoli Ministry of Interior said that airlines flying between Benina and Damascus airports have security restrictions imposed on them by the Tripoli-based Libyan Foreign Ministry concerning issues of terrorism.
The Tripoli Ministry of the Interior also claimed that it has information that Haftar's Investment Authority has transferred fuel to the Syrian regime in exchange for money and weapons.

I would prefer to see an of upload the SW icons (we're waiting for them for more than one month now) than Hockey icons... and next time what will be uploaded again instead of SW icons? baseball, and next time soccer, and cricket? etc, etc -_-
Eh guys don't forget we're in Star wars boards, not sports boards, so SW icons should be uploaded first a lot of people around here are not american and do not care at all about hockey, cricket or soccer...
I don't understand why sports icons are uploaded immediatly, and SW icons two or three month after the votes

BigFatty said:

I know! so what I said is even more important: all those "priority icons" of hockey, cricket and all are just for a minority on these boards, while the majority is waiting for months for SW icons updates.

Are you feeling ok? It sounds like you have a high fever, and it may be affecting your rational thinking.
You do realize that hockey, cricket, and football(soccer) aren't an iota of a fraction as popular in America, as they are in other countries, right?
The sports championship icons are a time sensitive upload, because they only go on for a short amount of the year.
Plus, not for nothing, but the majority of the users here usually pick one icon, and stick with it, or change very, very rarely. Personally, I've used the same icon for almost three years, with the exception of holiday icons, and special event icons.
However, I'd suggest PMing DVeditor, if you have concerns about the length of time it takes to upload the SW icons.

And you do realize this is a Star Wars site and not a sports site, right? I'm fine with letting people celebrate their team colors and all, but they shouldn't take precedence over the purpose of the site. And I know plenty of people who change their icons frequently and can't wait to see what the artists around her have put together next. And for the record I've already expressed my opinions to DVeditor (twice) and nothing has yet to change.
And you do realize this is a Star Wars site and not a sports site, right? I'm fine with letting people celebrate their team colors and all, but they shouldn't take precedence over the purpose of the site.
Sorry to say it, but even though this is a prominent Star Wars site, it's been expanding for the last few years, and believe it or not, there is actual discussion of topics other than Star Wars. There's the JCC, the SFF boards, the Amphitheater, the Senate, the Arena, and others.
The board has expanded, by bringing and keeping people here for Star Wars, but offering them alternate discussion boards for other hobbies. It's not a bad thing. However, until Lucas throws us fans another bone, it's perfectly logical to make this a multi-topic board.
I'm sorry if you disagree with having sports icons, and it's obviously a subject you don't find interesting. Point is, there are plenty of people here that do.
I'm sure you're an icon maker, so you're probably already offended, but so be it. You really need to address the people in charge of uploading via PM, instead of bitching about it in the open. Because, at best you're going to get three or four people in here to get their panties in a twist, and it will accomplish nothing.
a lot of people around here are not american and do not care at all about hockey, cricket or soccer...
Uh... none of those are American sports... Americans don't like soccer or cricket either. Granted, we have adopted hockey (and soccer, I guess), so a lot of us like that, but that's beside the point. But, yes, I agree, Star Wars should take priority.
Dubya_Scott Jedi Master
Not to add to the arguments, but there are currently almost 4000 icons that are Star Wars related. (That's one reason why I stopped making icons...running out of source images.) A few sports icons shouldn't matter all that much.
And besides, weren't there Star Wars icons uploaded a few days ago (April 17)?
Dubya_Scott, Apr 20, 2007
By the way, DV, more hockey teams have been eliminated: "New York Islanders", "Pittsburgh Penguins", "Minnesota Wild", and "Nashville Predators".
I think everybody here knows that Star Wars is not only movies but also comics, that are released very often, such as Legacy, Kotor, Dark Times, and others. New books too, new characters, new video games... so it means new icons! the fans of Star Wars want to see their new heroes in the icon list.
How many Shado vao icons were picked up by the fans? I see plenty of them. And it's the same for other characters.
So yes, there are already a lot of SW icons, but new characters are created and so new icons are made.
And SW should take priority because it's the major thema of those boards, and the rest is only a minority. I wonder why sports icons are updated immediatly and not the SW icons. What's the problem? can't anyone update them alltogether?
I wonder why sports icons are updated immediatly and not the SW icons. What's the problem? can't anyone update them alltogether?
I've already explained that at least once. In most cases, the sports icons are made in advance. They are uploaded for championship/playoffs/finals situations only, and the uploads are therefore time sensitive, because they are immediately taken down as soon as a team is eliminated from contention.
As far as Star Wars having first priority here, it must certainly, and obviously does. Like someone else said, there are already over 4,000 permanent SW icons as it is. The temporary sports/special events icons are just that, temporary.
If so many people are jonesing for new Star Wars icons, at the rate you're suggesting, why aren't more people complaining about it in here, or to DVediter?
Actually, from the way things look in here, the sports icons are made just a handful of days before they are uploaded, if that. And currently, there are some icons that have passed voting that we've been waiting to upload for (I wouldn't be surprised to say) weeks. So at the moment, your argument doesn't hold. And if you would read the posts being made, you would know that we aren't complaining about them being permanent. We're well aware of the fact that they are temporary. And you would also know that complaints have been made, bvut nothing has changed.
If you feel your complaints aren't being listened to, or the people that do the actual uploading, aren't doing it to your satisfaction, then PM an administrator and voice your concerns about the attention or non-attention you think your icons are receiving.
It's really not that hard to go to a higher up, and I can almost guarantee that none of the three administrators read this thread on any sort of regular basis, and therefore are more than likely oblivious to your concerns.

I would be very happy if someone with some icon making skills would make a Dwight dressed as a Sith Lord icon from the Halloween episode of The Office (USA).

KnightWriter Administrator Emeritus VIP - Former Mod/RSA
You wouldn't have done so well back when there were a measly few hundred icons or so. And even that seemed like a lot at the time.
How can people survive with only 4,000+ icons?
Also, Baron, is there any way to possibly try a Suns icon with a purple background instead of orange (just to see what it looks like)?
Or something like this? [image=http://www.ibiblio.org/craig/draft/images/Team/suns_2.gif]
Thanks to A_J for that.
KnightWriter, Apr 21, 2007
rhonderoo Former Head Admin VIP - Former Mod/RSA
I think the reason the sports icons get uploaded sooner is that they are on a very limited time, there's not a lot of voting, and DV has had help uploading some of them, as others can (although not frequently) go in and upload. So Sape, gabe, or myself as well as others do it on the scheduled day, although 99% of the time DV gets it. And there's a scheduled day for those, because we know they won't be around but a limited time. I remember the voting process when I was an icon maker and it takes a while longer in those cases. I also remember being frustrated at the amount of source material due to the fact that we have so many. But I have to say, the icons made these days are of the best quality I've seen on the net, and the new ones are always interesting and fresh. Great job!
Edit: And that's an awesome Phoenix icon.
rhonderoo, Apr 21, 2007
Yea, we should never run out of icons, because we should never run out of books, comics, and other things. Plus with the up and coming TV shows, we should get a lot more sources.

Lauren graduated from The University of Melbourne in 2008. She started at Camperdown Veterinary Centre in 2011 after a two year stint at Deniliquin Vets, NSW.

Lauren became the sole owner of the CVC in January 2017 after being in partnership the previous 5 years. She has a keen interest in small animal surgery, small ruminants such as sheep and goats, yet loves getting out on farm for a good prolapse or calving. In 2020 she is undertaking a course on ruminant nutrition.
In her spare time she loves to spend time with her family and socialise with friends, eat good food, drink yummy wine, as well as support her beloved Melbourne demons.

Ness is one of our local girls that has come home to work. Ness grew up on a sheep and cropping farm near Lismore where she always had a menagerie of animals, so it was only natural that she pursued a career in Veterinary Science.
Ness graduated from Charles Sturt University in 2012. She initially spent her first five years with CVC as a mixed practice vet before spreading her wings briefly as a locum and then at a small animal and equine clinic near Ballarat, before returning to us at the end of 2018.
Ness loves all aspects of working in a rural mixed practice due to the variety of work it offers but particularly enjoys working with production animals; extending to equine medicine and reproduction. Ness is also a whizz at small animal surgery.
Outside of work hours, Ness is often out competing on her thoroughbred 'George' or enjoying quiet time with her husband Spencer and their dogs Lilly and Jittabug.

Stephen graduated with a degree in veterinary science from Murdoch University in 2013. Growing up on a cattle farm in Zimbabwe surrounded by wildlife led to his passion for animal care. Stephen's first three years after graduation were at the Mortlake and Terang Veterinary Clinic, enjoying mixed dairy practice and the balmy winters of the South West! For the past three years Stephen has divided his time between preg testing cattle in the top end of Australia and running the family ranch in Zimbabwe.
One can only pregnancy diagnose so many cows in a lifetime, so not wanting to exhaust the arm and embrace the opportunity to meet more cattle, it was back to the South West! Here at CVC, Stephen is looking forward to practising both large and small animal medicine again and embracing the variety a true mixed practice brings.
Outside of work, Stephen enjoys fishing, hunting and a good braai.

She also has a special interest in equine medicine, undertaking an honours project in equine respiratory medicine in her final year.

Jennifer (Jenn) is our resident Canadian. Before coming to Camperdown, Jenn worked in a "full on" corporate finance role in Melbourne for 28 years before retiring in 2009 to a small farm just out of Camperdown with her husband Philip and son, Kirk, so that Philip could persue his interest in his beloved Hereford cattle.
In 2010, realising that retirement wasn't all it was cracked up to be, Jenn joined the ranks of CVC, leaving again in 2015 to do some extensive travel and have a lifestyle readjustment. Jenn re-joined the team in 2018 in a casual role, because she could, and just loves working with the team and helping the others in the practice concentrate on what hey do best.... "being great vets"
When not in the office, Jenn loves to travel and spend time with friends and family (including 3 dogs), and is likely to be seen at the gym or shopping in town.

Trainee Veterinary Nurse
Rhianna spent most of her childhood helping her Dad and Grandad on their family dairy farm in Boorcan. Her passion for animals came from being surrounded by cows, cats and dogs as far back as she can remember.
Rhianna moved back to Camperdown in 2018 after living in Geelong for the previous three years working in Beauty Therapy. When she realised Beauty was no longer her passion she enrolled in Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing.

Rhi's personality compliments our strong team work-ethic and she is thriving in our industry.
Her other interests include her beautiful dogs Tevez, Milly and Blitz. She also helps look after her brother's dogs Nacho and Benson.

Jacqui, the youngest member of our team, is a Terang girl who has grown up in an animal-loving home environment. Her farrier father instilled in Jacqui a knowledge of horses and a hard working drive which led her initially into the harness racing industry.
After two years, a career change was imminent - this led her to investigating a future in vet nursing which brought Jacqui to our doorstep! She started at CVC in March 2018 as a trainee Veterinary Nurse which complements her studies in Geelong at the Gordon Institute.
Jacqui is our gun netballer, playing for Terang-Mortlake, but in her spare time she still helps her dad work the horses and loves spending time with Murph, her border collie.
