Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz walked casually into a sandwich shop minutes after he murdered 14 students and three staff members at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School four years ago, showing no signs of stress or nervousness, video played at his penalty trial Thursday showed.Cruz then walked to a nearby McDonald's, where, by coincidence, he unsuccessfully sought a ride from the brother of a girl he had seriously wounded. The boy did not know who Cruz was.Thursday's abbreviated court session focused on Cruz's attempted escape after the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting and his arrest, about an hour after he fled the campus. The mostly low-key testimony and evidence stood in contrast with the previous three emotional days, which covered the seven minutes Cruz stalked a three-story classroom building firing his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle into crowded classrooms and hallways.After the shooting, Cruz fled the building, dressed in a burgundy shirt from the Stoneman Douglas Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps — he had been a member when he attended the school — and a New York City Police Department cap.The former Stoneman Douglas student blended in with students who were evacuating campus and went to a nearby Walmart, where security video shows that 25 minutes after he stopped shooting, he turned into the Subway sandwich shop inside the entrance.Store manager Carlos Rugeles testified that Cruz ordered a cherry and blue raspberry Icee. The video shows that when Cruz got his drink and change, he tossed the coins into the tip jar, stuck a straw into the lid and walked out.Eight minutes later, Cruz entered a nearby McDonald's, still drinking his Icee, store video shows. He climbed into a booth with then-Stoneman Douglas freshman John Wilford, who did not know him.Wilford testified that he didn't know exactly what had happened at the school, but after evacuating, he had been trying to call his older sister Maddy — he didn't know she had been seriously wounded by this stranger. When he couldn't reach her, he called his mom, who said she would pick him up.He then tried to make small talk with Cruz."I told him, 'This is so chaotic, it's crazy with all these helicopters and squad cars.

Cruz followed and asked for a ride, but Wilford said no."He was pretty insistent on it. I wasn't really thinking much of it. I just wanted to get home and my sister wasn't answering her phone," Wilford said.Cruz walked away. He was arrested about a half-hour later by Michael Leonard, an officer with the neighboring Coconut Creek Police Department.

Full Recap: Jury sworn in to sentencing trial for Parkland high school shooter
Pleading guilty to all charges
Cruz pleaded guilty in October 2021 to 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder in the deadly shooting.
Legal analysts said Cruz's plan to plead guilty to all charges in the Parkland shooting — along with the guilty plea in a battery on a jail guard charge — is a calculated move by his attorneys for him to avoid the death penalty.
Video below: Cruz pleads guilty in court
By pleading guilty to killing 17 people and attempting to kill 17 more in 2018, legal experts said Cruz is hoping to convince the jury that he is taking some responsibility for his actions.
"He's trying to save his life, and the only way to do that is to take responsibility and not put all these poor people through a trial," criminal defense attorney Marc Shiner said.
Death penalty trials in Florida and much of the country often take two years to start because of their complexity, but Cruz's was further delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and extensive legal wrangling.
If Cruz is sentenced to death, that will still not be the end of the process. Death sentences in Florida are given automatic priority review by the Florida Supreme Court.
Trial preparations
Trial preparations were extensive for what was expected to be the biggest murder trial in Broward County history for one of the most infamous crimes in Florida history.
Cruz was arrested about an hour after the attack with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle on Valentine's Day 2018.

His lawyers repeatedly offered to plead guilty in return for a guaranteed sentence of life in prison, but prosecutors refused to drop their pursuit of the death penalty.

Much of the penalty phase is expected to focus on Cruz's mental condition at the time of the slayings, with prosecutors emphasizing their horrific nature and Cruz's intensive planning beforehand.

Jim Gard, a math teacher that day, said they were all victims.
"These kids that were in the class, just because they weren't hit doesn't mean they weren't hit," he said.
And since that day, so many of those victims have refused to just sit back and do nothing. In the days following the shooting, a movement called March For Our Lives was born.
David Hogg was one of the founders.
"When we started doing the march, we thought there would be about 90 people that we could get up to D.C.," Hogg said. "We got near a million."

When they watched the Parkland shooter plead guilty to the murders he committed, both Hogg and Gard are pleased to see this chapter end.

Infamous Toronto 'Chair Girl' fined $2,000, given community service, probation
TORONTO — A young woman who made headlines with a toss of a chair from a 45th-storey Toronto balcony was fined $2,000 on Tuesday, with the judge saying it was lucky no one was hurt and that Marcella Zoia had been shamed publicly.
In passing sentence, Ontario court Judge Mara Greene rejected prosecution calls to jail Zoia, who was 19 at the time of the incident in February 2019.
"I cannot find that she intended to hurt anyone when she threw that chair," Greene said.
Marcella Zoia, 19, better known now as "ChairGirl" was all smiles as she exited the College Park courthouse with a friend. JACK BOLAND/TORONTO SUN/POSTMEDIA NETWORK
In addition to the fine, which Greene called significant, Zoia will have to put in 150 hours of community service and be on probation for two years.
Zoia pleaded guilty in November to mischief endangering life for throwing the chair, which crashed near a woman with a child in a stroller.
A video of the incident went viral after being posted to social media, drawing widespread condemnation and leading to Zoia's being dubbed "Chair Girl." Greene did not impose any restrictions on her use of social media.
Neither Zoia's lawyer nor the prosecutor had any immediate comment.
The Crown had wanted a six-month jail sentence, which the judge said was inappropriate for the first-time offender. Greene, who said Zoia was clearly playing to the camera, said a suspended sentence as the defence had asked for was also inappropriate.
In passing sentence, conducted by conference call due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Greene said the fact that no one was hurt played into her decision. She also said Zoia's young age and potential for rehabilitation mitigated against a jail term.
Despite garnering attention on social media, the judge also noted many businesses did not want to be involved with Zoia and public shaming could be take into account in sentencing.
On the other hand, Greene said, Zoia had a high degree of moral blameworthiness because she had "made a show of throwing the chair" from the balcony.
Evidence at trial was that Zoia had been drinking the night before and was still intoxicated on the morning she threw the chair off the high-rise balcony. The video was taken with her phone, but Greene made no finding as to who had actually did the filming.
The video was deleted hours after being put on social media but it had already made the rounds and garnered international notoriety. Zoia turned herself in days after Toronto police asked for help in identifying her.
Zoia's lawyer, Greg Leslie, said earlier that his client had dropped out of school, lost modelling contracts, and was suffering from anxiety. She also had a drinking problem, he said. He argued his client was immature and had succumbed to peer pressure.
The prosecution, however, maintained Zoia had minimized the gravity of the incident.
Zoia did apologize in court for the incident.
"I'm sorry. A lot of people could have been seriously hurt because of my actions," she said previously. "I know this was a very immature and stupid mistake which I will take responsibility for."
The judge ordered her to follow any counselling regimen her probation officer might order. She must also submit a DNA sample.

Q: Commercial .NET CSV Parser/Library Our company has pretty much banned us from using open-source libraries in our commercial products due to licensing issues.  We are currently looking for a commercial .NET library that can read and parse CSV files - does anyone have any ideas ?
As far as functionality goes, I really need to be able to read a CSV file into a strongly typed DataTable - with appropriate conversion and flagging of type conversion failures.

A: .NET has a built-in CSV parser. A real one that follows the RFC to the letter and provides error recovery when some lines are bad but the rest of the file can be parsed.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.fileio.textfieldparser.aspx

A: I think it would be well worth studying what the differences are between different open source licenses, so that you can explain to whoever is 'banning' you from using them, what they all mean and what the implications are for your company.
For instance, I would never advocate using a GPL'ed library in one of our closed source programs, but an L-GPL'ed could be made to work. Other licenses are similarly less encumbered.
Also bear in mind that just because a library is published on the web as GPL, quite often, if you email the author(s), you may find that they have other licensing options. For instance I was interested in one GPL library, emailed the author and he said he would be happy to license for closed source projects for $100 per year for support and no runtime cost (that's $100 in total for anyone in our company to use the library on any number products we ship).
This is a damn sight better than $3000 for the development version and $500 per runtime for the commercial library I was also considering. Admittedly the commercial library did much more than the open source library, but we didn't need all that extra functionality at the time.

A: CSVReader did the trick for us.

A: FileHelpers v 2.0

A: Sébastien Lorion's excellent CSV library is licensed under the MIT license, so you can do pretty much anything with it so long as you acknowledge the original copyright.

A: How about using built in OleDb in .NET with Jet Engine. It handles different file delimiter type as well. See this article
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/UsingJetForImport.aspx

A: Try CSV Helper (which I wrote). It has a Ms-PL license. If you can use Microsoft products, you should be able to use this also.

Tweak says, "Like a brother? "
Oliver Wood ( die__trying) wrote in snark_n_bark,
Entry tags: faelan, oliver
He ain't heavy
Characters: Oliver and Faelan
Summary: The Wood brothers have a chat
Oliver stopped just outside the nursery and pulled the oft-refolded notes from an inside pocket. The owl post with Harry from last week. He felt like a big girl about it, rereading the notes they'd sent back and forth, but that hadn't stopped him from doing it. In the absence of actually being able to see Harry, it was the next best thing.
It was going to be fine. He'd touch base with Faelan and see if there was anything he could do to help him through what had been, undeniably, an incredibly rough few months. Then he'd get his brother's opinion on carrying on with Harry, and if it was early enough, Disapparate straight to Haven's Loft to give Harry the news in person.
On a deeply inhaled breath, Oliver tucked the notes away and made his way inside, looking around for his brother.
"Fae? You here mate?"

Faelan sighed and pushed aside the ledger sheets he was balancing, running a hand through his hair before stepping out of the office and calling out into the gathering dark.
"In here," he said, having cleared some of the mess - more his than Neville's these days - off the divan, in order to have somewhere for his brother to sit. He'd been working late too often, putting off his friends and family for too long, using the office to hide in, and it showed. And smelled. Quickly he used his wand to cast a fragrant spell, one of the first simple ones he'd learned from Gaius in lessons.

"Righto," Oliver called back, making his way towards the sound of his brother's voice towards the office. He didn't like the sound of his voice, but he was trying not to suppose anything before he talked to Faelan.
He walked into the office and took a quick look around before focusing on his brother. It took him all of five seconds to assess things.
"You look like hell, Faelan."
(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
"Thanks," Faelan answered, tensing already. This was why. This was why he didn't want to talk to anybody, and it had taken his brother all of three seconds to remind him. He really was in no mood to be lectured.
But what he had even less energy for was arguing, so he ignored the comment and ushered his brother into the room. "Have a seat. You want some tea? Somewhere there are crisps..." he said, looking around to see where he'd left his lunch.
Oliver held up a hand. "Thanks, no. I'm fine. But don't let me stop you if I've interrupted your meal," he has to keep his lips pressed together to stop himself from asking how regularly he's eating.
He eased himself onto the sofa and clasped his hands in front of him, looking across the room. "So, it's been a while. I won't ask how you've been, but I will ask how you're managing."
Faelan shrugged, tossing the crisps aside, which he'd found under a pile of papers, a muddy shirt, and a dying leaf he was trying to practice his rejuvenation skills on. A pair of his jeans stuck out from under a pillow, piles of balled up, barely started sketches littered the floor and he didn't know the last time he'd taken a real shower. He was really lucky he had a lenient boss.
Flopping down on the edge of the divan and staring at his folded hands, he said, "I'm managing fine." He knew he was isolated, but even in the best circumstances he'd never been good at socializing. He wasn't really sure how he was supposed to reach out again.
"Of course you are," Oliver said, the sarcasm practically dripping from his voice. "I've never seen anyone more fine in my life. Why you're practically the epitome of fine and dandy, holed up here with your clothes, your crisps and," he stopped and sniffed, "that new aroma you've discovered."
He gave Faelan a hard look. "You have a house, you know."
"I know," Faelan said, his tone more defensive than he intended, although he really didn't care that much. "I've been home." But for some reason, he didn't sleep well there. Haven's Loft was big and full of quiet sounds, and here it felt more like being outside. The only thing that made noise were plants and bugs and Trevor.
And Padma had never slept here.
"Neville needs me right now. He can't do as much work anymore and he needs me to stay close in case anything happens here."
Oliver took a deep breath. "Yeah, from what I hear you pass through there from time to time." He ran a hand through already disheveled hair.
"Don't get me wrong in what I'm about to say, Fae, I'm glad you're helping Neville and everything, but have you ever thought that Harry might need you as well?"
Faelan shifted, pulling one leg up to his chest. He had thought that. In a way. "I think...Harry needs something." He did worry about the man, a lot. But he didn't honestly think there was anything he could do about it. "He misses Sirius." Genuinely confused, he reasoned, "But I'm not Sirius. I'm just...me."
"Yes, you're just you. And you're a link to Sirius," Oliver said, almost dismissively, "but you're his friend as well, yeah? And probably one of the few people who understand the loss, who feels it about as deeply as he does. Don't you reckon it might help both of you to work through it together?"
The thought made him frown. How were they supposed to do that? "What would we do?" He asked, shaking his head. "We can't bring him back or undo anything that happened. Why should we talk about it and just remind ourselves of...of how much it hurts?" He said this last part quietly, the words strange on his tongue. He didn't usually admit when he was in pain. The statement seemed to echo loudly around them.
"Sometimes you need to do just that, though. Talk about how much it hurts, what you miss, what you don't." He stopped and took a deep breath, running his hand through his hair again. "It took me so long to do that, and my first real lover to draw it out of me. But I did, and I found I could live again after all. And without the pain I'd been carrying around since you...," he stopped there.
"I don't want to see you hurt that way, Faelan."
Faelan looked down at his foot, fingering the frayed edge of his jeans. He knew how much it hurt losing people, and although he still didn't really get why it had hurt Oliver so much to lose him, he still felt immensely guilty about it.
"Maybe I'll try to spend more time at home," he said, although he knew it would be hard to resist the lure of his shut door and the heavy blankets Sirius had bought him that were so good for curling up under. With another person. But Harry was always there for him, so if Oliver thought he needed to be there in return, he supposed he did owe it.
He sat back a little, feeling somewhat more at ease. "I'm sure Harry will be thrilled if you do. He misses you, Faelan. I've missed you, too. I mean, I know I'm not around as much as I'd like, especially now the season's in swing, but I have."
Faelan wasn't really sure how to admit that he'd missed Oliver too, when he still felt like he barely knew his brother. There was always, still, the deep down fear that his brother would leave him, or that Harry would, and that terror, which had sharpened substantially when Sirius left, was so agonizing now that he could hardly breathe. Padma had left too, and it felt like he was always holding onto people with invisible strings, impossibly thin, which could snap irreparably at any moment. It never occurred to him that some people could be just as desperate to hold on to the string at the other end, when others had let it go so easily.
Life was always so confusing.
"I haven't been following the scores very well. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it," Oliver said with a smile, waving his hand. "The league standings are hardly vital to the well being of anyone. Except the sports writer for the Prophet perhaps."
He felt the notes in his pocket practically burning their way through his shirt and tried to decide if he should broach the subject or not. Half of him was tempted to keep it for later, but the other half wanted answers, wanted to move forward. Still, he wasn't about to blurt it straight out.
"You do know that any time you want to come see a match all you need to do is owl me, yeah?"
"Yeah, sure," Faelan answered with a smile. It was actually funny to think of how resistant he'd been to the idea of Quidditch only a little over a year ago, when the idea of a match now seemed like a non-event.
Silence fell for a moment and Faelan looked up, feeling his brother's deep concern like a breath of air. It felt better than Faelan ever could have admitted, or imagined. Maybe he did need people more than he thought, but it was still so hard to trust anyone other than himself. How could he learn to balance such conflicting emotions?
"You sure you don't want some tea or something?" A few minutes ago, he hadn't wanted to see his brother at all, but now he found that he wasn't quite ready for him to leave.
(Reply to this) (Parent)
It didn't take overly sensitive ears to hear the change in the way the question was asked - almost hopefully this time rather than obligatory. Because he didn't want to leave now that he'd finally broken through the tough guy 'I don't need anyone' look his brother'd had on his face when he first arrived.
"I'd love some, thanks. Want a hand making it?"
"Nah," Faelan answered, getting up to heat the kettle. "It's actually easy now. Look." With an air of pride, Faelan pulled out his wand, pointed it at the kettle, and gave a small smile to Oliver over his shoulder when the pot began to steam and whistle almost instantly.
"I've been practicing," he told him, not elaborating on how many cups of tea he often drank throughout the night to avoid falling asleep and having dreams. He poured them two cups and sat down again, although now he wasn't sure what to say.
"So um, anything new with you?"
Couldn't help the swell of pride even if he tried and he there was no way he was going to try. "It shows, mate. And the more you practise, the easier it seems to come. It's just a matter of feeling at ease with it."
Well, you were looking for an opening, he thought to himself, taking a small sip from his cup.
"Actually, there is. I've sort of, well, started seeing someone."
Faelan did a double take so rapidly that tea spilled out of his lips, and he almost dropped his cup.
"You did?" he asked, wiping his mouth and trying to ignore the stab of sadness that came over him at that. He stared at Oliver for a moment. It wasn't his brother's fault that his love life was over. He shouldn't begrudge Oliver any happiness because of it. "That's great," he said with a smile. "What's his name?"
Faelan's reaction did not encourage him that the news would be well received, but he carried on anyway, more determined than anything else.
He took a deep breath and looked his brother square in the eye. "Yeah. It's not, I mean, nothing's decided yet. But the attraction's there, very, very there. I've known him for years, but we've only recently reconnected and...," his hand traveled through his hair again, "it's Harry, Faelan."
Faelan's heart may have literally stopped. At any rate, his entire body froze and it was a small miracle that his tea did not fall out of his hand. For a long moment, he could say nothing, only stared at his brother in disbelief.
"Harry."
His immediate feeling, after the shock, was panic. If Oliver and Harry had each other, where did that leave him?
Any hope he had of a joyous 'that's brilliant, Oliver' went by the wayside as soon as he registered the utterly poleaxed look on his brother's face. He'd seen that look before. Just after a Bludger made contact with someone's midsection.
"Yeah, Harry. Surprised me, too, especially given the rocky way we found each other again, but," he waved his hand, "there you are."
Nodding, Faelan reached over to put his cup down on the nearest surface, and swallowed, trying desperately to think of something to say, but his brain felt empty.
"Well, yeah. I mean, that's great." He looked up, and forced a smile when he saw that his brother was barely breathing. "Really great."
Harry. Harry and Oliver. A painful lump rose in Faelan's chest, and he swallowed it, hard.
Oliver sighed. The way Faelan said 'really great' sounded something like his use of the same phrase in regards to being told practices would be starting at the crack of dawn rather than the more human hour of half ten.
Great. As in not really. Or not at all.
"It's not a done thing, not yet. We're sort of, well, Harry's not had the easiest time of it, yeah? So he's a bit gunshy about getting involved." And this certainly isn't going to help.
"Yeah, that's understandable," Faelan answered, his mouth feeling very dry. He picked up his cup again and took a long swallow.
He could sense the tension, the hesitant anticipation, radiating from his brother. For some reason the man seemed to care what he thought about this news, and somehow, without being able to put a finger on why, Faelan felt torn. He didn't want to upset Oliver. But he felt very, very lonely.
He could almost hear Harry's voice in his head as he watched his brother react and knew what he had to say, what he had to do. Even though he also knew Fae wasn't much on contact, he, Oliver, was. And this was one of those times.
Oliver leaned across the small space and laid a hand on his knee. "Fae. If this, if it bothers you at all...," he had to pause, the truth of it hitting him in that second. No matter what he'd thought before entering the nursery, about nothing keeping him from carrying forward with Harry, he was wrong. There was one thing that would.
"I like Harry a lot, I do. But I won't pursue anything at the expense of losing you again."
Faelan may not have known a lot about people or families or relationships, but he did know enough to know that it was not okay for Oliver to feel that way. Oliver's life was his own, just as Harry's was, and if they wanted to be together, it wasn't Faelan's right to stop it. But just the fact that Oliver said what he did made Faelan's breath come a little easier.
"Hey, if that's what you two want, I don't have any right to stop you." Looking up, Faelan met his brother's eyes and with rare frankness, smiled. "After all, one of us should be happy, right?"
If he ended up losing them in the end, all he would be was back at square one. He'd always suspected he'd end up back there someday. At least Oliver and Harry would be happy.
He had the oddest desire to laugh in spite of the horribly non-funny topic of conversation. He wondered what their combined reaction would be if he told Harry or Faelan how every alike they both were. But Oliver also knew that now was probably not the time for that revelation.
"I'd like to try for both of us being happy, if it's all the same," he said, returning the smile with the same truth in his eyes, "but we'll work on that, yeah?"
Where numbness had been only a moment ago, a slow warmth spread up from Faelan's toes. He really thought Oliver meant it.
"Yeah," he said, nodding, and leaning in to bump his shoulder against Oliver's.
He debated it for a moment, then went ahead with his instinct and wrapped his arm lightly around his brother's shoulder. It was a brief touch, and over quickly, but it did him a world of good. He only hoped it did as much for his brother.
"I love you, Fae," he said quietly, because it had been too long since he had.

I don't know how your device does it but you probably need NAT on the server end.
So, check your server firewall ..
What firewall are you using? Have you modified it to push traffic to the right internet device?
FreeNAS are quite capable of supporting you ..
i was unable to get a log from the client side, not sure if thats a restriction of android?

Everybody else manages to get the client log from Android.
All I can tell you is your VPN (and therefore OpenVPN) is working.
and therefore cannot advise you as to any apparent errors.
The rest of the problems you are having are related to your FreeNAS OS, which we do not support.
What do I put in my client config for the log?
The client log would be stored on the client rather than the server right?
Does this tell you anything?
As far as I know the Android log is on by default ..
If you look here you will see lots of Android logs.
You can totally ignore that, it does not effect the VPN at all.
and stop using bbcode oconf for logs .. use code instead.

Full Member: Eligible to supervise M.Sc. or Ph.D.
High-precision laser spectroscopy; Laser cooling and atom trapping; Ultracold atoms, Bose-Einstein condensation, and quantum information; Optical lattices; Environmental pollutant monitoring and climate change.
My research interests include a variety of topics in pure and applied physics, such as laser isotope separation, laser cooling, atom trapping, environmental pollutant monitoring, and electromagnetically-induced transparency for use in optical switching. My group has developed a novel way to use acousto/electro-optic modulators to precisely measure frequency shifts. This has been exploited to measure hyperfine splittings, Stark shifts, and polarizabilities of atoms and thereby precisely test predictions of quantum electrodynamics. We were the first in Canada to create a Bose-Einstein condensate in the lab. Work is progressing to study so-called optical lattices of condensates. An array of microtraps to be fabricated using lithography is also being designed. It is of interest for exploring and controlling the interactions between ultracold atoms, such as the transition between a superfluid and a Mott insulator state, and for developing schemes to implement quantum computing.


Is EE still Britain's best network after outage problems?
After some 27 million customers were affected, EE has announced that it has resolved the signal problems that prevented customers from making phone calls, texting and using the Internet on Wednesday night.
Reports of dodgy connectivity started flooding in at around 1800 GMT last night. It was unfortunate timing considering that for years Orange, which is now EE, has been providing discounted cinema tickets on Wednesday nights. To add insult to injury, the evening of disruption came exactly one week after the network came first in a survey of network quality and reliability.
All credit to EE, their official Twitter feed tried to show a sense of humour by tweeting "There seems to be some Gremlins in the system – we're aware of a network outage at the moment & working hard to fix." The notification was accompanied by a picture of one of the mischievous critters from the 1984 flick, but the joke was lost on some angry customers who replied "What is there to laugh about when the service has been down for two hours?"
This morning a more sombre EE spokesperson announced that last night's technical issue "has been resolved and all customers are now receiving a normal service. We apologise for the inconvenience caused to those customers affected."
Still, EE stands for "Everything, Everywhere," but with some frustrated users reporting that they were unable to use their phones for a full eleven hours many are now branding the network NN for "Nothing, Nowhere."
Hopefully the hiccup won't disrupt EE's rumoured plans to release a low cost 4G smartphone in the next few weeks, as an attempt to capitalise on being the UK's number one network.

MAURICE MICKLEWHITE
Michael Caine once said; 'When you're born a Cockney, there's no way to go but up!'
He was born almost a Cockney on 14 March 1933. It was a blustery Tuesday morning in the Old Kent Road when Mrs Ellen Micklewhite was hustled into a black cab by her husband Maurice, a worried man because his wife had reached the age of thirty-three and they expected problems with their first child.
A swift dash through the grimy South London streets to Rotherhithe, and she was admitted to the maternity wing of St Olave's Hospital at 8 a.m. Just two hours later, at ten o'clock precisely, baby Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, co-operative from the first, slipped quietly and effortlessly into the world weighing a modest eight pounds and two ounces. 'The first-born sons in the Micklewhites have been called Maurice for three hundred years,' Caine would say later about his initial billing.
Even then they spelled it wrong. The register in the dusty archives at County Hall will show that a Mrs Marie Mickelwhite gave birth to a son, John, in Ward 5B. But at least the birth certificate got it right.
The speed and ease of the delivery surprised everyone – even Mrs Micklewhite herself, a cheerful soul, small, sturdy, rosy-cheeked, a charwoman all her working days who came from stout East End stock.
For young Maurice Joseph, later to become Michael Scott, and later still Michael Caine, his first public appearance was one of the least troublesome events to happen to him in the three decades that followed.
Almost a Cockney? If the wind blows hard enough in a southerly direction, the historic sound of Bow Bells, which is what matters, might conceivably carry the two miles over the close-clustered wharves and cramped rooftops of Limehouse and Wapping, huddled as they were in dingy dark quilted patterns before the high-rise buildings and factories changed the Thames skyline for ever ... all the way across the river to the Victoria Ward on the first floor of St Olave's where he arrived.
If the echoes were a trifle faint, Michael Caine spent a lot of his youth around the East End, still considers himself a true Cockney, and has never let the world, or himself, forget it.
'When people talk about Cockneys being born within the sound of Bow Bells they forget the other bank of the Thames,' he would state convincingly. 'It's also a big Cockney neighbourhood. Anyone born there thinks of himself as a true Cockney.'
It is important to realize how much the conditions into which Michael Caine was born shaped his formative years and moulded his character for all time. Those conditions would harden his attitudes towards people and possessions – the 'us and them' of life. They would foster his innate resentment against the ambiguous values he saw around him, sharpen his wits, and consolidate his ambition to succeed into a driving steam hammer of determination and self-discipline.
In short, it helped create in him an unswerving devotion to the cause of becoming rich or famous, and preferably both.
At all costs, he would beat the system.
In 1933 the world was a bitter place. That spring was the peak of the Great Depression in Britain, with three million unemployed, around twenty per cent of the country's working populace; the average weekly manual wage was standing at £2 10s; dole queues stretched around the blocks; and the introduction of the means test came from a desperate government ruling a country that had hit rock bottom.
The means test meant that you had to show you had no income, no assets, and no money in the bank before you were allowed to claim supplementary benefit. If one had anything to sell, it would have to be sold before the local Employment Office would shell out a single penny.
It was conventional economic wisdom in a last-ditch survival plan. But it didn't stop the hundreds of Jarrow shipbuilders marching on London when William Palmer's yard closed down in the North, as Stanley Baldwin at the head of 550 National Government seats out of 625 in Parliament struggled to control the reins of his runaway country while Ramsay MacDonald hung on as a figurehead prime minister.
Ironically this was the time of the first industrial estates, with buyers paying peppercorn rents for cheap factories in an attempt to get the economy going again. That year, 1933, when Caine was born, was the time when house building hit a record for the century – new houses going up at the rate of 1,000 a day, selling for £350 each, with a down payment of just £5 to clinch the deal. A new Ideal Home was on offer in Sidcup, Kent, at £395: three bedrooms, two reception, garage and garden.
The natural law was working: everything at rock bottom, prices forced down, labour dirt cheap. Now perhaps a brave new world could be built.
Maurice Micklewhite senior was one of the victims of this gigantic depression. He was part of the 'irreducible million' – that grim Home Office statistic which quite simply meant that between the two great wars unemployment never fell below the million mark. Only now it was multiplied three times over.
He joined the sad, straggling line of grey-faced men in mufflers, and cloth caps, hunched into thin coats against the driving rain and wind, who queued hour after forlorn hour on the dole line.
Throughout Britain the same spectre rose. From the Welsh valleys one newspaper sentence said it all: 'A man who looks as if he has enough to eat is a novelty in the mining country.'
The advertising columns were full of oddities: a dentist bartering his services in return for a car or a typewriter. An offer to clean a family memorial 'anywhere in Suffolk' in exchange for a bicycle. Seven lessons on the mandolin for a new raincoat.
What else happened on 14 March 1933?
Caine, a celebrated hive of information – useful or otherwise – could tell you the facts.
'Lloyd George was talking about "all nations marching towards the battlefield with the dove of peace embroidered on their banners". Abroad, the Russian secret police accused six British engineers from Metropolitan Vickers of taking part in a plan to sabotage electric power stations throughout the U.S.S.R.'
And ...? English Test cricketer Harold Larwood was the central figure in a body-line bowling controversy, and vowed he would never visit Australia again (he now lives there).
Samuel Goldwyn's The Kid from Spain, starring Eddie Cantor, opened in the West End, and the first night of Eugene O'Neill's drama All God's Chillun Got Wings at the Embassy Theatre, featuring Flora Robson and Paul Robeson, received high critical acclaim.
Meantime Barker's of Kensington were offering women shoppers a hat and scarf set for 3s 11d (20p), while at Selfridge's you could pick up a pair of crocodile shoes for 12s 9d (just under 64p).
Maurice was too young to know, of course, though he would hear all about it later. But every day his father would come home late after trudging the hard pavements of South London searching for work. Other times he would spend hours slumped in his faded leather armchair in the kitchen staring mutely through the windows at the soulless rooftops outside.
To eke out the dole money Mrs Ellen Micklewhite found a part-time job sewing on buttons at a local clothing shop for 10s a week.
It went on like that for two years.
'It wasn't that my father was a lazy man who didn't want to work,' Caine explained. 'There was simply no work around.' But they always managed to get by, largely thanks to his 'old lady'. Much later, after his father died of cancer, Caine always remained convinced that he would be alive today if the movie star money had come along earlier.
Ellen Micklewhite has been described as 'the finest type of working-class mother', with her whole life revolving around her home, her husband and her baby son. Caine has never forgotten it, and over the years the bond between them seemed to grow rather than slacken.
When Maurice was six months old the family was ordered to move with unseemly haste out of their Old Kent Road home. The reason: 'It was to be torn down as part of a slum clearance project – that's the sort of place it was,' says Caine. They moved to Camberwell, into an old Victorian house whose brick walls had once been yellow but were now darkened to the colour of soot.
It was not the choicest place in the world, nor the best time to be living in it. Out on the streets the first black shirts of Oswald Mosley's Fascist followers could be seen openly for the first time parading in small, then larger groups. In universities other, more covert political animals with names like Burgess and Maclean, Blunt and Philby, were being spawned.
There were certain advantages for those lucky ones who were not on the breadline. You could snap up a Bullnose Morris for £100, straight cash, and drive it away on production of a 5s driving licence, no test needing to be passed. Road accidents soared to an unprecedented level, higher even than they are today – 7,202 fatalities in 1933, compared with 6,352 in 1980.
As a palliative to the gloom and despondency, the picture palaces rose in cathedral splendour, sprouting in fertile array across the country in cities and market towns. Fred Astaire waltzed with Ginger Rogers. Edward G. and Bogey snarled out of the Roxy on the corner. Caine would see all these old films before he was sixteen, playing truant from school to do so and getting soundly thrashed for it. Even now he will go on a movie spree, hopping from one cinema to another, seeing as many as six films in a single day.
When he talks of the days of his childhood, he recalls how the hard times even reached into Covent Garden, home of opera, forced to close the great theatre for six months in the year, take out all the seats, and turn it over to a 'dance academy' where ladies in flapper dresses and white-tied gentlemen were employed to gyrate with businessmen and secretaries, typists and clerks, who paid 6d a dance for the privilege of a dizzy whirl around the floor.
Whatever penury the present held for the Micklewhites, the omens at least augured an interesting future for the small infant with his tight bunch of fair curls who slept so soundly in a cot in the corner of his parents' single bedroom in Camberwell.
Astrologers, studying Michael Caine's birth pattern, have come to the conclusion that he is 'a typical member of his sign': Pisces.
'Like all Fish, he is a complex character,' declared Teri King, a raven-haired soothsayer who prepared Michael's chart as he climbed towards the higher echelons of his career. 'Romantic yet cynical, sensitive, dramatic, restless, tending to expect too much. He can be open with one person and secretive with another, and impractical in the most practical way.'
Meaning? She gave an example: 'You are at a party with two friends, when a stranger walks over and confesses that he is a bigamist with five wives scattered around the world. You may call him a rat. One friend might insist on telephoning the police. But the other friend demands to know: "How did he meet these women?" or "Where are they all living?" or "Does he really care for any of them?" The inquisitive one is Pisces.'
But the crystal ball discovered 'an ill-starred Jupiter' which tended to make Caine over-optimistic and over-indulgent, and the lady concluded with a stern warning: 'The latter could very easily result in him becoming overweight if he were not careful.' It's true. For one of his recent films, Deathtrap, he had to shed twenty-five pounds in a month.
In those early days there was no chance of any of them putting on surplus weight. Mr Micklewhite, on the dole and trying to follow the family trade at Billingsgate where two generations had worked among the fish boxes, was subjected to the humiliation of the means test and given the tickets to buy bread that went with it.
In 1933 a labourer earning £3 a week would have had to devote thirty-nine weeks' earnings to buy the cheapest new car, twelve weeks' to buy a motor cycle, and five days' to purchase a suit.
They put a brave face on it. 'My father was a typical example of ability thrown away,' Caine recalls with unconcealed bitterness. It still rankles, though his father is long gone. 'He was a man of much greater intelligence than his background and education allowed him to use. He had a good mind, but was never given a chance to do anything with it.'
The system again, one they were powerless to control or indeed influence it in any noticeable way. In fact Micklewhite senior left school at ten, though by then he had already met Ellen Burchell, his classroom sweetheart. They remained in touch while she stayed on and Maurice took to the streets.
The tough backwaters of South London had been his playground and quite often his battleground too. Mr Micklewhite passed on his instinct for survival, with fists and tongue, to his son. Certainly young Maurice's own childhood, from early Camberwell to teenage East End bomb-sites, ingrained into him a wit, shrewdness and astringent humour that was to stand him well on the long uphill road that lay ahead, a road littered with every would-be actor's failed dreams and broken promises, frustration and despair, before he would ever achieve his ultimate aims.
The dilapidated Victorian house in Camberwell became their tenement home through the years leading up to World War Two. It was only marginally better than the one from which they had been so unceremoniously ousted. Three other families lived in the house, one on each floor.
'We were in the middle. The landlord and his family lived on the floor below us. Another married couple with two children were above us,' Caine recalls.
And in the basement – 'An old pensioner of over eighty lived alone, with my mum popping down each day to give him meals and make sure he was cared for.'
The surroundings were cramped, but not uncomfortable. Mrs Micklewhite saw to that. That lady with the apple cheeks and dark brown hair she always wore in a bun, born on 10 May 1900, in the same year as the Queen Mother, would never let her family go hungry or live in abject poverty. 'When no one wanted buttons sewn on, she would hurry round to nearby offices and scrub their floors and stairs as a charlady. It meant getting up at five a.m., but she was a beehive of energy, and actually relished the work,' says Michael.
And the old lady herself? 'I used to love it,' she would tell you unashamedly, following her reluctant retirement in 1964. 'When I stopped, I felt awful. But I'll get used to not working, I expect.'
She performed minor miracles with the housekeeping money that she and her husband put aside for food and essentials. 'Money was tight, but we took care how we spent it. At least food was cheap. I was always able to manage.'
She did wonders with scrag ends of meat from the local butcher. She would scour the neighbouring East Lane market by the Elephant and Castle, close to where Charlie Chaplin was born, searching out titbits for the table and clothing bargains for the family. It wasn't the Waldorf, yet, but they wouldn't starve.
Even today, when it would be tempting to elaborate on his early hardships, Caine acknowledges: 'We never went hungry. In all the time I can remember, not once did I ever miss a meal or not have enough to eat.'
Like so many homebodies forced to make ends meet, his mother was a marvellous cook. 'She was a very frugal woman with money, always was,' Caine says. 'She was what I call a great "eker-out". Nothing was ever wasted. She would make stews out of all sorts of meat, and when it was cold it would go into a shepherd's pie next day.'
And clothing? Michael can't remember a time when he was shabbily dressed, or cold either. 'We had "tot" stalls down in East Lane market where she would shop around, and you could get second-hand clothes for peanuts. She would buy a shirt for as little as threepence, and a pair of trousers would go for ninepence.'
They weren't rubbish or torn or dirty. 'The rag-and-bone men would pick them up from the rich houses, and their wives would wash the clothes thoroughly. The other kids had just grown out of them, that's all. Some of the clothes I wore were practically new.' He will smile at a sudden thought. 'My mother would never have bought anything that was patched.'
Cockney pride again! 'Maybe. As for her own clothes, she always wore long dresses all her life. I never did see my mother's knees, even when I was sitting on them!'

The Planetary Mill PULVERISETTE 5 classic line with 4 working stations delivers fast and reliable, due to the particularly high-energy effect of the grinding balls, loss-free grinding results of hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle, tough and moist materials down to colloidal fineness. Depending on the desired final fineness, can the grinding be performed dry, in suspension or in inert gas.
Besides for comminution, the Planetary Mill can be utilized for mixing and homogenizing of emulsions and pastes or for mechanical activation and alloying in material research.
The comminution of the material to be ground takes place primarily through the high-energy impact of grinding balls. To achieve this, the grinding bowl, containing the material to be ground and grinding balls, rotates around its own axis on a main disk whilst rotating rapidly in the opposite direction. At a certain speed, the centrifugal force causes the ground sample material and grinding balls to separate from the inner wall of the grinding bowl. The grinding balls then cross the bowl at high speed and further grind the sample material by impact against the opposite bowl wall. In addition, impact between the balls themselves on the sample material adds to the size reduction process.
Due to the rotational speed of the main disk – up to 400 rpm – achieves the PULVERISETTE 5 classic line a centrifugal acceleration of up to 22 g.
The Planetary Mill PULVERISETTE 5 classic line with 4 working stations, operates with 4 respectively 8 grinding bowls of sizes 80, 250 or 500 ml, which turn with a transmission ratio of 1 : -2,19 relative to the main disk.
To achieve best grinding results, grinding bowls and grinding balls are available in various sizes and 6 different materials. Contamination of the samples due to undesired abrasion can be directly prevented. For grinding in inert gas, for mechanical activation and alloying are gassing lids recommended.

SOCOM just picked up a new lightweight machine gun
U.S. Special Operations Command has officially taken delivery of Sig Sauer's MG 338 machine gun, the company
announced on Wednesday.
According to Sig Sauer, SOCOM has completed its official safety certification for the MG 338 and taken delivery of "multiple systems" comprised of the machine gun, .338 Norma Magnum ammunition, and suppressors, a first for the command.
'For the first time in decades the U.S. military certified a new machine gun, ammunition, and suppressor at the same time, bringing new innovation, portability, and increased lethality to our ground forces, with all components coming from one company," Sig Sauer President and CEO Ron Cohen
said in a statement.
"This certification was achieved following the outstanding performance of the complete MG 338 system through the rigors of the extensive function, durability, and safety tests set forth by [SOCOM]," he added.
SOCOM has been on the hunt for a new lightweight machine gun — now dubbed the Lightweight Machine Gun-Medium (LMG-M) — since 2017, when a contract listing
specified a need for 5,000 systems capable of firing fire belt-fed .338 Norma Mag rounds with "sufficient accuracy to engage area targets and vehicles at 2,000 yards."
SOCOM had previously announced in May 2019 that the command would conduct limited user evaluations of prospective .338 Norma Mag machine guns between October of that year and this coming May,
per The War Zone, after which the command would formally decide to move forward with a LMG-G system.

According to Sig Sauer, the MG 338 will bridge the gap between the current 7.62mm M240 machine gun and the .50 cal M2 in terms of effective range and man-portability. Indeed, the company claims that the MG 338, with its weight of just 20 pounds, is "noticeably lighter" than the M240 while offering a maximum effective range similar to the M2.
The MG 338 "can be converted to fire 7.62mm ammunition, as well," according to The War Zone, a conversion which "would allow special operators to conduct various types of general training, such as basic familiarization with the gun and its controls, without having to use more expensive .338 Norma Magnum ammunition"
"We are incredibly proud of this historical accomplishment and honored to have received this safety certification by [SOCOM] for the performance of the complete MG 338 system," Cohen said in a statement.
For more details on the MG 338, I highly recommend you visit this
detailed article at The War Zone. In the meantime, check out this sizzle reel of the new system courtesy of Sig Sauer:
