"Getting raped is a product of sexual privilege," declares Blackpilled Twitterer
70 Comments on "Getting raped is a product of sexual privilege," declares Blackpilled Twitterer
Rape is a kind of robbery, according to @CCide
By David Futrelle
Twitter's @CCide is a "blackpilled" incel-sympathizer who describes himself in his Twitter bio as someone "Enforcing Monogamy, Unhorsing Sodomy, Endorsing Patriarchy." He's got close to 4500 Twitter followers, among them Rollo Tomassi, an internet-famous Red Piller responsible for the "Rational Male" books and website. He clearly sees himself as a philosopher of the so-called Black Pill.
He's also got perhaps the worst take on rape I've ever seen:
Getting raped is a product of sexual privilege the same way as getting stolen from is a product of economic privilege.
Smart rich people don't flaunt their wealth.
Smart beautiful women don't flaunt their body. https://t.co/IzeLxlnErE

CC isn't the first to portray rape as a form of property theft; indeed, that was once the standard take on the subject. But he's the first I can recall seeing who describes being raped as a sign of sexual privilege — implying that if you're sexually desirable enough to be raped you're inherently more privileged than sexually frustrated incels, whom no one desires and, presumably, no one rapes.
Meanwhile, he sees "friendzoning" as a crime against men as serious as rape.
Man rapes woman, exploiting her sexual resources as she hopes it stops.
Woman friendzones man, exploiting his emotional resources as he hopes for more.
Both are equally harmful. Both should be equally punished.

Somehow CC also seems to believe that all sex is rape because women are not developed enough to legally consent:
There's no way women can have consensual sex since they lack the necessary maturity for consent.
If you ask me, women don't have any age of consent because they can't really make consensual choices of their own.
They are genetically programmed to go after Chad.
Suffice it to say his views on sex generally are pretty fucked-up.
Biologically speaking, heterosexuality is per se pedophilic considering neoteny is a core secondary sexual characteristic.
Women have evolved to look childlike, or rather, men evolved to look like adults.
That is why she calls you Daddy, but she will dry out when called Mommy.
Jizzing in a woman someone's already jizzed in is like writing in someone else's diary

For more on this last bit, and why it's a bunch of hooey, see here and here.
He's serious about that "enforcing monogamy" thing, and thinks arranged marriages are great.
Women have a genetic agenda to passively genocide 80% of men.
In the past, 17 women mated with only 1 man on average. 16 men died involuntarily childless.
Monogamists have temporarily managed to civilize man, until feminists threw us back millenia.https://t.co/Zre8QrPcbO
Things won't improve until we go back to trading virgin daughters like pokemon cards.
Keeping true to his reactionary self, he rails against welfare as a form of "economic cuckoldry" and worse.
As a male, paying taxes that go to welfare for single mothers isn't just economic cuckoldry, it's genetic GENOCIDE as your alleles are diluted by your very resources that could have gone into your progeny.
I guess we'd do better just to let children of poor sinlge mothers starve.
CC is convinced that gay men and trans women are really incels in disguise, driven to change their sexualities and gender identification because they've been rejected by women.
If you don't get what you like, like what you get.
If you can't get the girl, become the girl.
It should probably go without saying that he's also racist as fuck.
Police brutality on blacks due to high criminality due to high fatherlessness due to
NO LAW FORCING TYRONE TO MARRY SHANEEQA WHEN IMPREGNATED
Get to the root of the damn issue.
Also, he thinks the only reason women care about George Floyd is that he was tall.
Women would never have joined the protests if Gorge Floyd wasn't tall pic.twitter.com/hXYZHQwyR2
George Floyd was unironically more privileged than 30% of men who are incels, whom no woman will ever stand up for.
CC may be many things, but one thing he is clearly not is modest. He thinks that what he's tweeting will go down in history, and not just as the sometimes amusing, sometimes infuriating tweets of a delusional nobody.
Future thinktanks will screen this twitter account for their research, in an attempt to rescue a society that has devolved into violence and anarchy as 80% of men are left without wives and blackpilled.
It will be a bigger deal than climate change and antibiotic resistance.

@ snowberry
we often see teenagers about that age playing the roles.
I'd love to have seen the original where all the roles were played by 30-something blokes.
R&J Addenum: The reason why I doubt Juliet being a bit short of 13 was a metaphor is due to the context of the play and the era it was set in. The Capulets are talking about marrying off their daughter; however, by tradition, girls from noble families become a "Lady-in-Waiting" at age 13, where they're expected to become an apprentice/servant/student of sorts to an older noblewoman. At any point after that, they can be married off, at which time they become a "Lady". While generally they had at least a few years experience as a Lady-in-Waiting first, not being married until around 16-20, it wasn't completely unheard of to be married right away. Lord Capulet thinks marrying her off ASAP for political convenience is the way to go, while Lady Capulet appears to be concerned about her future and is asking for him to wait on that.
Rabid Rabbit
R+J: She's thirteen, but will turn fourteen at Lammas. The Nurse states it pretty explicitly. Even her father at first thinks they should wait a bit for the actual marriage to take place.
@Alan: There's always the 1936 George Cukor film, where they're all in their forties.

Speaking of Shakespeare (which we were) and archeology (which we weren't), I really like this.

Dalillama
@Alan
That's not at all accurate. All the boys were played by blokes in their 30s, but the girls were played by their (sometimes pre) teenage sons/apprentices.
@Dalillama
Still would have been interesting to see IMO.
You want to see something wild, there's "As you like it". One of the characters is a woman playing a man playing a woman. Considering that actors in Shakespeare's day were all male, a truly authentic performance would be a man playing a woman playing a man playing a woman. It's drag cubed. 🙃
Mrs Morley
Re R&J- Juliet's mother says that she was Juliet's age when she became a mother. So she's 26.
Which might explain why she likes County Paris so much.
Lumipuna
The whole "Romeo and Juliet laws" phrase is based around the idea that the two of them were something like 15-17.
Or perhaps rather, them being just a popular example of a generally young couple whose love is criminalized by the establishment for no good reason.
Though I do think the term is kinda tacky.
dust bunny
oh look, it's the 17-to-1 thing again. i guess it's too much to expect dim misogynists to figure out it isn't true, since the somewhat less openly misogynistic scientists and media people who popularised the idea won't come out and say so either.

The funny thing about the GENOCIDE is that according to their own worldview, Chad must be their biological father. (Imagine the Darth Vader moment). So why don't they share Chad's evolutionarily superior wrist circumference?
In the grim Shakespearean future, actors will be forced to vogue in iambic pentameter for the amusement of the audience in THE DRAG CUBE

@Lizard People Operative: the incel philosophy is nothing BUT bugs.
Talonknife
This also isn't entirely accurate. Sometimes adult men did play the female roles. In Macbeth, when Macbeth and Banquo first meet the witches, there's a line that goes some thing like "You should be women, and yet you have beards" (paraphrasing that because I can't remember exactly.) Some of the female roles were still played by adult men and Shakespeare specifically wrote that line in to explain it away.
Shakespeare lowered Juliet's age from the source material. In the original Italian novella, she is 18. Why he shaved four or five years off her (depending on how you interpret "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, Let two more summers wither in their pride, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride) is open to debate, but one theory is that as the part needed to be played by a boy, he wrote her young so her apparent ago would match that of the actor. Generally, the young women were portrayed by pre-adolescent boys, and the older women were played by men a la Monty Python. Another theory is that it was an English stereotype of Italians that they were hot-blooded and came into their passions early.
I hated browsing CCs account. Alot of retweeting from other accounts that endorsed burning women alive like witches for not liking the nuclear family set up, not wanting chidlren,and that democrats are evil and ruining the country too. Theres always a connection between these misogynists and conservative conspiracy theorist republicans. Like they truly believe women are brainwashed by feminism into wanting to be recognized as a whole human being and not just a walking womb that should be reproducing all the time despite our overpopulation.
Katherine the Adequate
Not gonna browse Ccide's account, because trash isn't my thing. I hope his warped world view doesn't manifest into actual harmful acts against people. That's really all I can do.

Amanda Rose recently discovered some fascinating research. Using dairy as a soaking medium actually inhibits the break-down of phytic acid!
Amanda told me about this last week over the phone. It's definitely had an effect on how I prepare my grains. It's much more freeing. Her new website, which I recently previewed, has a lot of videos and tutorials on how to soak grains, beans and nuts for maximum phytic acid reduction. This is an awesome resource and I recommend you go check it out. I'll be writing up a full review of her new white paper and site on Friday, including a good bit of info on how I've changed my own cooking practices and freed myself from some extra kitchen work as a result of Amanda's research.

Dagupan exec: City government not giving new extension to beach shed owners
Leonardo Micua - Philippine News Agency
DAGUPAN CITY — Enough is enough.
This was pointed out by City Administrator Farah Decano when the Dagupan city government started tearing down on Tuesday some 100 or so beach sheds put up at Tondaligan Park by different persons offering these for rent to beachgoers.
Torn down too were extended canopies, unsightly comfort rooms and bathrooms, as well as sari-sari stores attached to the beach sheds, all of which are considered eyesores.
The owners of these structures asked for another extension of the deadline given them by the city government, but Decano said these had been warned many times to leave, that is why the city government is not giving in anymore to their new requests.
The first warning was made in August but the shed owners sought for a 60-day extension which was granted by Mayor Belen Fernandez. When the deadline lapsed in October, they again asked for extension, which was also granted to allow them to cash in on the expected influx of visitors to the beach during the Yuletide season.
But when personnel of the city engineer's office showed up to finally begin the demolition on January 23, they held a rally and wanted to stop the demolition again.
The demolition team personally spearheaded by City Engineer Virgina Rosario returned the next day to finally tear down the structures.
City Administrator Decano explained the clearing of the area will pave the way for the rehabilitation of Tondaligan Park, a project being supported by Pangasinan Fourth District Rep. Christopher de Venecia who intends to construct a bay walk where tourists and visitors can frolic.
"We are doing this to make Tondaligan Park as a source of tourism. This is not only for the sake of our bangus but also for tourism as we have to address this too," she explained.
She cited records of the One-Stop Business Center (OSBC) showing that there are around 160 existing Tondaligan shed owners majority of whom are not paying their dues to the city, hence they are not following the law.
Only 50 were found paying their regulatory fees regularly and in recognition of this, their sheds will be spared but will also be asked to leave eventually.
The rest, Decano said, had been delinquent since 2003.
"We had been tolerant about their stay in the beach and in fact they had been warned many times to remove their structures, but all these went unheeded," she explained.
Under the rehabilitation plan of Tondaligan, all sheds will be opened through and through and not walled for any one to have an unobstructed view of the sea from the road.
As to the claim of the beach shed owners that they have not seen the plan for the rehabilitation of Tondaligan Park yet, Decano accused them of "lying".
She said most the beach owners were present when former Planning and Development Coordinator Romeo Rosario, now a technical consultant of the city government, presented the plan to the Sangguniang Panlungsod sometime in September last year.
At the same time, Decano said that before Mayor Fernandez left for the United States to attend a Forum on Best Practices on Federalism and Good Governance, she directed the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) to prepare a package of assistance for the affected beach shed owners.
She refused to discuss this package yet till after Mayor Fernandez arrives on February 5. Leonardo Micua/PNA-northboundasia.com

Not a lot of time for a big, cool blog post today. In fact, I still haven't even made it home from hanging out with my friend Rich. Instead I'm scratching away at a keyboard in his wife's office, listening to an aquarium that sounds an awful lot like a man urinating.
Those suffering from Phoctober withdrawal will be happy to learn that I took quite a few pictures today, and should post some of my results on Monday and Tuesday.
In the meantime, stay warm and keep thinking of things to Ask the Moon!
very good (though not nice), apt, description of aquarium sound.
Muppet Hotel song must not be from (the first Muppet Movie) The Muppet Movie, because I can not at all recall it.
Takes promise of future photo posts with grain of salt.
Taffiny: I think it was in "The Great Muppet Caper," but I am willing to admit it could have been "The Muppets Take Manhattan."
glad you still seem optimistic. I personally dislike calling it "hell week" for a variety of reasons. one in particular is that it implies that it SHOULD be unpleasant, and I contend that while it is hard work, it doesn't have to be.
that said, I'm aware you may be in one of the outer circles of hell at the moment. For what it's worth, I know that you're one hell of an actor, that you are taking the work seriously, and I'm looking forward to seeing you back on stage.
my browser played a cruel trick on my. the comment above was intended for the post regarding tech week. i'm not sure what etiquette dictates...should I repost so that it makes sense? I'm left with an overwhelming sense of doubt.
Yeah. That's right. It was the FILTER that sounds like someone urinating in the fish tank.
Glad you have bad peripheral vision.
Basest: By leaving your comment here, you have ensured that none of my readers know that you think I am a good actor. Well done. As for "hell week," I had entirely forgotten the phrase until a cast member used it at rehearsal, and I felt my stomach fall and then began to sweat. Sometimes the name is apt.


AA and JJ haven't yet caught the reading bug, the one I clearly remember having as a child. I often find myself wondering if there is something else I could do to ignite this flame. Yet I am stumped.
Haven't all these years of reading aloud to them introduced them to all the wonderful places reading can take them? The first half of this year was dominated by reading the Harry Potter series to JJ, which she loved. We then tried a few African adventure books written by Willard Price, we enjoyed reading My Side of the Mountain and most recently we've loved reading Seekers of the Lost Boy. If leading by example is what matters then I must surely be a living example of that person. You will often find me with my nose buried in some book or my kindle, reading anything from trashy books to books on economics, finding myself enthusiastically imparting some titbit I've learnt to whoever wants to listen.
AA has developed a distinct literary taste, anything to do with heroes and boarding schools. He loves Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and Spud. I'm not sure what the message is here! There have been rare occasions where he has been discovered holed up reading, and he has read some of the Harry Potter books twice over, yet I'm still not convinced that he could be described as a passionate reader.
JJ, at nine, is more interested in her dancing, singing, piano, computer and online games (Sumdog, Minecraft etc.). She says she is too busy to read books. Although I witness her reading all the time, it is not books. The other day she was reading a long article on how to hide a Geocache, writing aimed for adults. Over the years she has started reading a variety of books and given up most of them, from Secret Seven to several attempts of reading Harry Potter. Trips to the library have proved fruitless and expensive - books returned unread and beyond the return date. Her latest book, Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief, has been 'on the go' now for several months!
This week I suggested, very unschooling of me, that she tries to set aside time for reading so we can include the books that she is reading onto this blog. I showed her that all the books currently displayed on the blog are ones that I've read, and asked her if she wouldn't like some of the books there to be ones that she has read. Manipulative I admit. I was playing on the fact that she likes to impress our followers reading the blog – yes you However writing this down I feel the fall from grace unschooling guilt wash over me. Although I didn't force her I did play on this need of hers to impress. It worked, as I hoped it would. Motivated by our discussion she picked up Percy Jackson and read the remaining half of the book in just over a week, completing it yesterday. She was so proud of her achievement and more importantly loved the book. Perhaps my interference wasn't so harmful after all. I consol myself knowing that if JJ didn't want to read she wouldn't have done so. She chose to read and enjoyed the process, yet I did play apart. It begs the question, as unschooling parents how much influence do we really have on our children's learning? and how much is initiated by them?
This meant she could now watch the movie (a family rule book first then movie), so we all enjoyed a family event of watching Percy Jackson together last night. This morning I discovered her reading in bed, the next book in the series Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. Could the tide have turned? I daren't hope. Then AA stated that he prefers reading books to watching the movies and JJ concurred. Perhaps it is all coming together. I may have spawned enthusiastic readers yet, only time will tell.
JJ: Let me see the picture its snakewomen!
JJ: Mom what is obidence pronounced ob .. i (as in it) .. dense?
Me: frowning in thought: Obedience?
The second person in a week asked us if JJ was on holiday. I tried to explain that learning happens all the time, it is only school that requires, for logistical purposes, to have set times for education and holidays. Using the recent example of learning happening in our home at the ungodly time of 22:52. When the previous night I had gone to bed leaving JJ and her Dad hard at work. JJ was being taught how to use functions formulas on MS Excel by her Dad; adding, subtracting, greater and less than terms were all being discussed.
I had a lie in one morning, can't remember when, but my twitter feed doesn't lie. Whilst I was sleeping JJ wrote her part if the blog and AA knocked off three lessons from his online school list of things to do. This is another example of how unschooling works. Everyone knows what they need to do and they get on and do it without anyone asking them. I believe every child if treated with respect and given the chance to direct their own life choices would get on and do what they had committed to do. It is when children are coerced into doing things that they don't want to do that relationships between them and their parents become fractious.
Cooking is not where my genius lies, as one of my friends would kindly note. However every now and then I get the urge to cook. I made my first batch of homemade yoghurt using @NotQuiteNigella recipe and it worked. I then made JJ a snack by placing halved baby tomatoes in muffin pan, topped with cheese and cracked an egg over the top, added seasoning to taste – then baked it in oven until the egg was cooked. She loved it.
We scattered my aunt Pam's ashes today. I was feeling sick and didn't feel I could take anymore grieving; this month has been very overwhelming for everyone. Afterwards we followed it up by a lunch out at a local garden centre. I do love my family at times like this feel extremely lucky to have them in my life. Whenever I think of Pam, as I often do, I feel this surge of overwhelming love for her and the gift of friendship that she extended to me.
JJ has done some Geocaching preparation this week. One offered a musical clue, so she printed the clue out to take to her music teacher for assistance. We broke the clue but haven't been to the coordinates yet. On Sunday we went to two coordinates but didn't find our cache. At one of the places we did discover the first clue, providing us with the coordinates for the final cache. Our plan is to return a second time following the new coordinates which should lead us to the hidden cache.
We had a morning trip with our home schooling friends to the Johannesburg science museum called Scibono. B and I left the children to explore and play freely on the vast array of equipment. Finally we all ended up watching part of the planetarium display on offer.
I spent some time on the website making a new menu tab aimed at visual learners, there are two in our family, to be able to follow the summary of our story easier through our 365DaysLearning weekly word clouds. Please check it out.
I loved the 8 New Jobs People will have in 2025 particularly as an Unschooling role is outlined in number two.

Incredible Korg Sounds in Under 10 Pounds!
Loaded with the killer soundset, effects and sequencing tools found on the KROSS 2 88-key, but with a lighter synth-action keybed, the Korg KROSS 2 61-key synthesizer workstation redefines "portable"! Battery-powered and weighing less than 10 pounds, the 61-key KROSS just begs to be taken out and played. Its powerful sound engine delivers hundreds of convincing, easy-to-use instrument presets, drum samples, and effects, making the KROSS keyboard the kind of performance synth you can just turn on and play without having to do any major tweaking or sound design work. It's also loaded with tools like a built-in step sequencer derived from the Korg Electribe, 16-track MIDI sequencer, drum track, and a pad sampler that will transform your performance on stage and in the studio.
Compared with the original KROSS, the KROSS 2 contains more PCM memory, more built-in sounds, and more polyphony, allowing more notes to be played simultaneously. The wider world of available sounds in the KROSS 2 allow you to dial in the exact sound you need quickly, and expanded memory gives you plenty of room to save your user presets. The KROSS 2 now also includes user sampling and sample editing, plus 16 trigger pads for on-the-fly sample triggering. These new and expanded features help narrow the gap between the KROSS and much more expensive keyboards.
Some keyboards offer a thousand instrument sounds, and some offer a hundred. With 496 multisamples (plus 1014 drum samples), the KROSS finds a happy medium. You get essentials like grand pianos, electric pianos, strings, organ, and synth sounds, as well as some more exotic fare, such as vintage tape sampler, toy piano, and accordion sounds. The KROSS also comes loaded with must-have dance and electronica sounds that are hard to find in this price range. No matter what kind of music you play, the KROSS has a sound (or ten) to back it up. You can use the Sound Selector to find the sounds you want, and use the favorites function to organize them for your next performance.
The KROSS's EDS-i sound engine allows you to use seven effects simultaneously (five insert effects plus two master effects), giving you plenty of creative control over your sounds. Essential effects such as delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, and rotary speaker are included, as are some unexpected extras, like amp modeling, vocoder voice, and more. Korg's KROSS 2 workstation includes no fewer than 134 high-quality effects.
It's easy to select sounds, make beats, and create full songs on the KROSS. Its clean layout puts everything you need front and center: volume, instrument/category selector, FX buttons, simple audio recorder functions, split/layer, step sequencer, drums, sample pads, and so forth. The Electribe-style step sequencer gives you hands-on drum editing, and a bright LCD screen lets you see and edit your beats in real time.
Need to capture a guitar melody, vocals, or a quick idea for a song? No problem -- do it directly on the KROSS with the keyboard's built-in stereo audio recorder with mic and line inputs. You can connect instruments or other audio sources and record straight to SD card media, and then incorporate your new audio with the sounds already available on the KROSS. And of course, there's a 16-track MIDI sequencer as well.
Great for mobile musicians, the Korg KROSS can be powered either by the included AC adapter or 6 AA batteries. That means the instrument is at home in any location -- even a park bench with no electrical outlets in sight.


Imran Khan was targeted by a assassin in the city of Gujranwala as the former Pakistan cricketer took part in a reform rally.
The politician was in a car which was swamped by people when a gun was fired at the vehicle.
Khan - who used to be married to British heiress Jemima Goldsmith - was not injured during the incident, according to reports.
It understood more than one shot was fired at Khan, whose vehicle was surrounded by political opponents when it happened.
The former fast bowler was in the city as part of efforts by his party to unseat Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Khan and his allies want to bring parts of the country to a standstill by occupying busy streets and refusing to budge until Sharif resigns.
Shairf is Pakistan's first PM to have gained power by democratic transfer and is curently locked in a battle of wills with opponents such as Khan, who want him out.
Khan leads the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, the third largest in the country.


I sat myself down last week to find a font I could use for all of my CatsEatDogs banners and profiles. I like to look at typography, but I am no expert and rarely does one jump out yelling 'pick me'!
My trawl did not go unrewarded as I found a lovely new font and I have changed my Etsy banner and my Facebook page and my lovely blog too.
In keeping with my new font love, I made some new lovely jewelry and here are some photos with my new fancy type.
I am happy with my new 'look' and I feel much better now that my typography is going to be consistent. Photoshop is a little less scary too.
Don't you just love to learn new stuff then feel all smart about yourself?!
Have a fab weekend. What are you up to? Do share. We are off to the pumpkin patch and we are part of a city wide yard sale tomorrow, so I will be on the hunt for yard sale treasure!
Congrats! A while back I decided on a font for my 'watermark'-like thing on my photos and have transitioned it over to my etsy banner too. However, I hadn't really thought about it much in general as my signature font. I do love me some fonts and like this idea.
Anyway, I like the direction you're heading. It's all looking so great!
Thanks Hope, I was getting quite stressed about it as everything I do was really inconsistent, hopefully that will be changing! That reminds me ..watermarks…I need to do those too!

Six hours southeast of Atlanta off the Georgia coast on Sapelo Island, archaeologists have unearthed the remains of an ancient walled city which predates the construction of many of Egypt's pyramids. Known as the Sapelo Shell Ring Complex, this ancient city was constructed around 2300 B.C. and featured three neighborhoods each surrounded by circular walls twenty feet in height constructed from tons of seashells. Some of the earliest pottery in North America was also found buried in the remains of this lost city.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FIME today launches TrustApp, a secure online testing portal for near field communication (NFC) applications embedded in secure elements. Mobile network operators (MNO) and NFC service providers can now validate the security of their sensitive and basic NFC applications, quicker and more cost effectively.
The primary function of the portal is CAP File analysis. Due to the sensitivity of testing the CAP File – an NFC application's bytecode which contains intellectual property – the file is automatically encrypted on the client's machine before it is uploaded to the testing platform and stored on a secure server. Testing this file confirms that the NFC application conforms to the relevant industry security standards. The portal also gives users immediate and convenient access to fully automated end-to-end application testing and report generation, as well as report download.
FIME has developed this service in collaboration with the Celtique team at Inria, a research team dedicated to improving the security and reliability of smart card and secure device software. It includes analysis for alignment with key security rules from a number of international industry authorities and platform manufacturers. Additional modified security rules can also be developed and added to the tool.
Once the basic or sensitive application has been verified by the online portal, the final stage is local laboratory validation by FIME's experts. Applications are subjected to additional CAP File analysis, source code review and testing for compliance to the key security rules. Sensitive applications are also security tested against relevant industry application requirements.
Take a look at FIME's white paper focusing on the NFC security chain: "The NFC Security Quiz v2.0 - 7 key questions answered regarding today's security framework for delivering sensitive NFC mobile services".
Visit the FIME website for more information about TrustApp. Or, to find out how FIME can support your projects, please contact your local FIME office.

Dulcie Gray, one of the best-loved British screen and stage actors of the second half of the last century, died earlier today from bronchial pneumonia in the actors' residential care home, Denville Hall. She was 95.
Together with her husband and fellow actor Michael Denison, Gray was one half of a glamorous acting partnership that proved perennially popular on film, television and stage for much of their 59-year marriage.
Born in Kuala Lumpur in 1915, she trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts and found fame in a series of ripe black-and-white melodramas for Gainsborough Studios in the 1940s. She became a star on stage with roles in The Little Foxes and Brighton Rock, and made several appearances in the West End (usually alongside Denison) before finding television fame in the 1980s as Kate Harvey in the nautical drama series, Howard's Way. Following Denison's death in 1998, she returned to the stage to appear in adaptations of The Ladykillers and The Lady Vanishes.
She enjoyed a second career as a novelist, penning two dozen books, including 17 that featured her dogged sleuth, Inspector Cardiff.
She was awarded a CBE for services to drama in 1983. A full obituary will appear in a future edition of The Stage.

Today I'm going to share how we seasoned our cast iron skillet. I absolutely LOVE cooking in a cast-iron for so many reasons that I explain in-depth further below. Honestly, I can't believe it took us this long to use a cast-iron on the regular. My grandmother always used a variety of cast iron skillets and I remember learning how to cook some of my very first favorite dishes in that style. I would make pepper gravy and fried okra in the cast iron with her growing up, but after college I got away from using them. I admit, I fell into the copper-bottom pots and pans collection luster for a while. Then, when John and I first got married we were gifted a fantastic set of non-stick cookware. I enjoyed how easy they were to cook with and clean up.
It's only been within the last few months that I really started to miss cooking with a cast-iron. John and I were actually talking about the flavor of a perfectly over-medium fried egg when it came up. I said, "The eggs we make now are pretty great but you know what they're missing? The cast-iron skillet flavor. Seriously, it's totally different!". John took my word for it but I wanted to prove it to myself to make sure I wasn't crazy. We bought a cast iron skillet some months back and just hadn't gotten around seasoning it. We were also dragging our feet on seasoning it because at the time we had a flat glass cooktop stove. I always heard that it was not a good idea to use a cast-iron skillet on a glass cooktop because it could cause serious damage. Funny enough, I was chatting with my mom about how sorry I was that she couldn't use one on her glass cooktop. She laughed and said, "Yeah, they say not to do that, but I use mine on here anyway. I'm just really careful when I lay it on the burner and I don't move it around while cooking." Turns out with a little further research that a lot of folks with flat glass stove surfaces actually use cast-iron skillets on their cooktop. Even if you have a flat cooktop and don't want to take the chance of harming it with the cast-iron, there are still a lot of delicious recipes you can use a cast-iron skillet in the oven.
I'm certainly glad that we decided to test out our cast-iron skillet and give it a good seasoning because now we're obsessed! We cook almost everything we possibly can in the cast-iron and pretty much everything tastes better than ever.
If you've got a cast-iron skillet lying around that you've been meaning to season (like us), or you haven't purchased one yet but are thinking about it, I'll show you how easy it is to season and start using!
Wash your cast-iron skillet with a gentle and natural soap using very warm water.
We used about 2 Tbsp. of olive oil to coat the entire inside and outside of the cast-iron skillet before baking.
Using a small cloth and bowl for dipping, we dabbed the cloth with olive oil and wiped a coating inside the pan.
After the inside was coated, we flipped over the pan and wiped the entire outside with olive oil as well.
Place your cast-iron skillet upside down on a middle rack in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Be sure to place a pan underneath the skillet to catch any drips that may occur during the baking process.
Step 4: Let it cool in the oven.
Once your cast-iron skillet has baked for an hour and ten minutes, turn off the oven but let the cast-iron skillet continue to cool in there for another hour or so.
You're ready to start using the cast-iron skillet! I recommend starting with things like sautéed squash, onions and peppers, or fried eggs. In the beginning, you'll have to use a little more olive oil (or Grapeseed) than you typically would for a nonstick skillet for cooking.
To clean your cast-iron skillet, run some hot water in the pan after using and let it set for at least 5 minutes. Then, using a stiff brush or plastic scrubber under running water scrape off any food particles. Rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Just be sure NOT to use soap! This can strip all the work put into seasoning it.
1. My number one reason for using a cast-iron skillet to cook is the wonderful flavor it gives. All of the food cooked in a cast iron just keeps building and seasoning to create a better flavor each time it's used. It can sound strange if you've never used a cast-iron skillet before but trust me, the flavor is worth it.
2. Your food will be cooked more evenly. The cast-iron does a much better job of evenly transferring heat and cooking your dishes evenly.
3. Cooking in a cast-iron adds Iron to your food. It's not just an old wives' tale, there are many sources out there that have proven cooking in a cast-iron skillet will indeed fortify your food with more Iron. This is especially helpful for us females or anyone that struggles with iron deficiency.
4. A natural nonstick alternative. Once you season your cast-iron skillet and start using it regularly, it will develop a natural nonstick surface that's much better for you to cook on than other nonstick pans like Teflon. Don't get me wrong I will still use my nonstick pans from time to time, but you have to be careful not to scratch those pans. They can release chemicals in the air and onto your food which have found to be harmful to our health. With cast-iron skillets, this isn't a concern.
5. They are durable. Unlike the copper bottoms or nonstick pans, cast-iron skillets can handle all the scrapes and dings associated with cooking. There's a reason they're humorously depicted as a weapon in movies and T.V. shows. They are tough cookware for sure. I like this because I don't have to worry about what spatula I can use and I know I can throw it right from the stove to the oven.
There are so many reasons to love cooking on a cast iron skillet. If you haven't bought or seasoned one yet, hop on this train and try it out! I promise you won't be disappointed and like us, you'll likely be cooking everything in it from there on out.
Do you have a cast-iron skillet or have you always been curious about cooking on one? Comment below and let me know how you take care of yours or share your hesitations in buying one!
Here's to all the benefits of cast-iron cooking… Cheers!

Why This PhD Student Went to Bali for An Electric Vehicle Internship
by Staff writer | Aug 7, 2019 | Careers, Gap year, Graduate Jobs, Internships
Pooja Vadha has just finished her Physics Masters and is going on to study for a PhD in Solid State Batteries for Electric Vehicles at UCL. She spent one month on Start Me Up's Startup Internship Program in Bali.
"I applied for this program because I wanted to learn new things, get work experience and have the chance to explore Bali."
Pooja wanted to get practical experience designing batteries for electric vehicles using AutoCAD (computer aided design software).
"It's been really exciting because I've been working for an electric motorbike company which is launching in Bali. They are low emission and really fun to ride."
As well as design, Pooja was involved in researching and producing decks to promote electric vehicles over conventional petrol ones.
"The other bit of the work was a bit more technical on the engineering side and involved designing the battery. I learned to use AutoCad software and it was really cool that Start Me Up gave me the opportunity to work with a mentor to develop that skill."
Pooja also got to work remotely with some of the team who are from Europe while also meeting some of the local engineers in Bali.
"I always felt like remote working was interesting, but I didn't know how it worked exactly, but there have been some real upsides."
"Sometimes it can be hard because of time differences. Sometimes you have to do a call at maybe 7am or 7pm at night, but that means on other days you can get back those hours and maybe take the morning off, or visit somewhere else in Bali."
"My day-to-day was actually quite diverse and interesting, because I got to meet different people involved with the company."
"I got to do my own work, like learning CAD.
"We worked at two sites within Bali. Within that we had networking and loads of interesting events, with people from different backgrounds. So it was good to hear from them and their stories."
"We also had some workshops from Start Me Up like the design side, how to start a business and how to carry out market research and I found that really interesting."
"Well, it's really hard to say but it's just nothing like you would expect it to be.
It's an incredible experience which you would have to come here to understand.
Check out what Pooja got up to on her internship…

Review: Anti-Nowhere League – We Are the League: How Deep Do You Want It? (Special Edition DVD and Soundtrack CD)
Text © Robert Barry Francos / Indie Horror Films, 2019
Anti-Nowhere League: We Are the League – How Deep Do You Want It?
Directed by George Hencken
Cleopatra Entertainment / MVD Entertainment
www.Antinowhereleague.com

www.mvdb2b.com
Wikipedia lists the band as "hardcore," but in my opinion, The Anti-Nowhere League (ANL, as they are commonly referred) were a cross between the hard-hitting pub band The Stranglers and the solid outrageousness of the Sex Pistols. But there's no getting around the power of one of their anthems, "So What," that is so filled with profanities and outlandish sex acts that it was not played in the States at all. They never really made it on this side of the Pond, and that is not surprising for that reason. People here were already nervous about bands like the Pistols, and the wilder the non-American group, the less chance they had of being played or booked.
Around 1983, I worked on a taping of New York-based cable access show "Videowave," and one of their guests was the Anti-Nowhere League. Now, it's been multiple decades and my memory may be shaky, but I remember it being sort of like when the fictional punk band The Scum of the Earth appeared on "WKRP in Cincinnati," where they were somewhat polite until the camera came on, and then they went extreme. No, ANL didn't destroy the set, but they were more aggressive until the cameras turned off.
After seeing this film, I understand the dichotomy a bit more: they come from the mostly lovely Royal Tunbridge Wells, a suburban metropolis about 30 miles southeast of London (Jeff Beck and Sid Vicious are also from there). Like most towns, it has its dark side, and that's where the four core founding members of ANL began and mostly wound up. They include Nick "Animal" Culmer (vox), Chris "Magoo" Exall (guitar), Clive "Winston" Blake (bass), and PJ (drums).
The juxtaposition of seeing the idyllic town centre and these rough and burly guys is a head scratcher, in a good way. The band started, essentially, on bravado and chutzpah, and that worked for them. At first a biker "gang," they decided to try out as musicians after seeing the Damned. Animal's description of this is quite amusing, going from "greaser" to "teddy" overnight (though would anyone argue that their look was still the former?).
Through persistence and a communication with Damned drummer Rat Scabies, they finagled an opening spot on a Damned tour as their first gigs. Quite brazen, but it worked. They couldn't play very well yet, but it got them noticed. Scabies is also interviewed often on this documentary, and he has come out as sort of a punk guru master. When I saw the Damned a number of times in the 1970s at CBGBs, he was definitely a wild card, which is saying something since they were sharing a bill with the Dead Boys. But I digress…
ANL managed to hook up with a manager, John Curd of WXYZ Records, who released their single with the flipside of "So What." After much controversy and censure by the government (not to mention the seizure of thousands of copies), they released their album, We Are the League, which is arguably one of the strongest grunge punk albums of the time, and certainly a precursor to hardcore (as were the Damned and the Dead Boys).
This is partially expressed in the behavior of the bassist, Winston, who would do things (described in disgusting detail here) that was certainly a foundation for the stage show that would become the oeuvre of GG Allin. Outrageous actions were hardly his alone though, as they debauched and "went off the rails" as Animal describes it.
One thing the documentary brings forward that was completely new to me is that they were the stars of an unreleased tour documentary called So What!, directed by The Police drummer (again with the drummers), Stewart Copeland for his first release as a filmmaker. Supporting ANL on the tour were Chron Gen and Chelsea. Copeland describes the experience, but despite his accomplishments, he comes across as preening and condescending here. This film is so obscure, it's not even mentioned in the IMDB, though you can see some limited clips on YouTube.
Just as the Damned had successfully morphed into Goth (i.e., when they lost me), the ANL tried to change with the times (they refer to it themselves as "selling out") with much less success. And at the two-thirds point of this film, as they morph into a more mainstream sound and personnel changes start to fly starting with the removal of PJ in the mid-to-late 1980s, the documentary starts to fall apart as well. As brilliant as the first two-thirds is, the last act becomes a bit tedious in their wallowing.
The Kent accents are thick as fleas and captions would have been a help for those of us non-Brits, so there are parts I had to play over to make sure what I heard was correct, but overall it's not too bad (I find volume control helps), but overall the film was worth the watch. I personally wish ANL were less obscure here in the States, as they were a fun band. Also, I wish I could have seen them play live (they did limited tours of the States).
As for the extras there are a number of extended interviews, lasting from 1 to 11 minutes. During the PJ interview, I wanted to hear more about the trouble he had with prejudice going through customs and small townships, as an Iranian; this was discussed in part during the film, but by other bandmates. To me, this was a failing by the filmmaker, even if it ended up in the extras. For the rest, I understand why they were excised from the main release, but I'm also glad to have seen them. Also included is a slideshow of posters, live shots, etc., and the film's trailer, along with a bunch of the Cleopatra Entertainment label film coming attractions.
Of course, the big extra is the 19-track CD of previously unreleased live performance material from 1982, which will show why they were so important at the time.
This is definitely a cock-heavy film, with almost no female presence, so amusingly at the end credits, there is a declaration that "This film refused the Bechdel test." This made me laugh.
CD track list includes:

Fun with THE JONESES [1988]
Text by Julia Masi / FFanzeen, 1988
Introduction © Robert Barry Francos / FFanzeen, 2019
Live photo © Robert Barry Francos, 2019
Other image and videos from the Internet
This interview was originally published in FFanzeen 15, dated 1988, and written by Julia Masi.
What was especially wrong with the Joneses, in my opinion, is that they were pointed in the wrong direction to make it a success. While Julia somewhat correctly lines them up with the energy of the bands from the late '70s, their style was more hair metal with a pop flair, and that's the wave they should have jumped on. Their locus in Hollywood was the center of that scene, so they could easily have been lumped in with Mötley Crüe or Guns N' Roses, but I believe their marketing was looking backwards rather than forwards.
Are their songs sexist? Yeah, but there was a lot of that kind of stuff going on back then (note that I'm not excusing any of it). Even now, I get music from metal acts that put out material with lyrics that makes me cringe. Musically, their album Keeping Up with the Joneses is really a lot of fun, but I also understand their musical immaturity worked against them more than promoting them. Also thwarting their climb, they don't sound like they take themselves too seriously, and that may be a factor why the members of the band kept changing, other than Jeff Drake. Of course, it also doesn't help that some time after this interview, Jeff spent a few years incarcerated thanks to trying to rob a bank. Yep, you read that right. After he got out, the band reformed, as it were (i.e., Jeff and a new back-up), and took another stab at it. Considering how many of you reading this know of them shows their level of non-success.
I met Jeff and Steve at a taping of cable access show "Videowave" (as did Julia), and yeah, they were a bunch of smartasses. The trio of videos they talk about, as far as I can tell, never came to be. Listening to their music now (see links below), I still think they are a "fun" band, but even after all these years, it's still hard to take them seriously. And there's the rub. – RBF, 2019

The Joneses are just average, all-American boys who "rage for fun," party in cemeteries, write double-entendre songs and aspire to become "The Geraldo Rivera of rock'n'roll."
Occasionally, the boys are given to clichés, but not always in a negative way. For example, their album, Keeping Up with the Joneses, on Doctor Dream Records, is a rowdy, raunchy collection of material including "She's So Filthy," "Look So Bad, Feel So Good," and "Ms. 714" that fails to find anything serious in the banality of the basic boy/girl relationship.
Fun is the band's favorite pastime and the only adjective they use to describe their music. Fans agree, but sometimes the people they love most – women – attack them for their tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
Hiding their eyes under black, opaque aviator glasses and wrapped in tight, somewhat shredded jeans, the boys – Jeff Drake (vocals) and Steve (I don't know his last name; he didn't' tell me his last name, but I didn't' tell him mine [Steve Olson, who was also a professional skateboarder at the time – RBF, 2019]) – try to look menacing. But smiles to supresses their laughter gives them away.
Jeff is the quiet one (as compared to Steve, that is). He's a Lakers fan given to saying things like, "A drug-free America comes first in our book!" He could easily be mistaken for a Disney World prototype of a rock'n'roll robot if he didn't declare, "Women are my favorite sex object" whenever he's forced to say anything profound.
Steve emerged from the womb searching for the spotlight. He works at throwing female interviewers off-track by asking personal questions. Although you can ask him anything, all of his answers related back to the topic of sex. But so does their music.
"I wanted to put a liner sheet in there," Jeff explains as a certain reporter throws the album cover as if it were a Frisbee. "But the record company wouldn't do it. They thought that some of the lyrics might be offensive. I don't think any of it is offensive. The songs are actually very upbeat, so if you use a little vernacular, it's okay."
It seems strange that feminists take their music seriously, or even listen to it in the first place. Of course, that might relate to the title of "Look So Bad, Feel So Good," but it seems ridiculous that they actually write to the Joneses and give them a hard time. They wrongly accuse the boys of being sexists! (Female readers, please gasp.)
"It really doesn't bother us," Jeff continues. "Our songs are written pretty much in the language that we speak, so there's words in there that might be taken out of context and thought of as that. But if you're gonna take them apart… I write them I about five minutes and it would take them more than that to pick them apart."
The bulk of their reviews are favorable. And it did take a considerable amount of digging through clippings to find that one obscure article that labeled them "moronically misogynist." When asked to defend themselves, they confessed they had no idea what it meant. A quick explanation rendered them speechless and pale. It seemed like a good time to call in the paramedics, until Steve interjected, "I don't know where they got this information. I am the opposite!" (Female readers: please sigh.)
We are about to take a turn for the worse as the Joneses try to convince me that in addition to sex and romance, Chekov is among their major influences. (Come on, boys! How dumb do I look? No wonder the feminists pick on you.)
"I think they just misinterpret us," interjects Steve. "We're just about having fun. Life is fun. Boy meets girl. Boy equals F. Girl equals F. Life is fun. It's sexist fun."
And for more sexist fun, the band can dabble in video. They have a trilogy written for "She's So Filthy," "Look So Bad, Feel So Good,' and "Ms. 714" that they were trying to put together in New York at the time of (but not during) this interview.
"We've been doing some casting out here," says Jeff, "getting some models up to the crib for auditions and tryouts. Since it's "She's So Filthy," we want to get some really filthy girls to lend some honesty to the whole thing. It's gonna be trashy." And exactly how do the Joneses conduct their little star search? "We say, 'Show us. Here's the song. Act it out'," explains Jeff.
"We want to make it real-to-life. Why cover it up?" asks Steve. They carry out a little repartee about making two versions, one for commercial consumption and the other a home version for limited release.
Trying to get them back to the subject of their music, at this point, is nearly impossible. And it takes the slightly drastic measure of kicking off a spiked-heel shoe in pseudo-feminist mock anger for the boys to get the point. (By the way boys, real feminists wear sensible shoes.)
Quickly changing the subject, Jeff describe the record as "a party album" and winces at comments (no matter how complementary) that it's a throwback to the good old days of 1977-79, when live bands had raw energy. "If you can overlook the trap they got caught in, then I think they're really great," said Steve, referring to the chemical and financial problems that hovered like a black cloud over that scene.
"It comes from the roots of rock'n'roll," Steve muses. His love of old rock'n'roll is so deep, he used to visit the grave of one of his heroes, Eddie Cochran so frequently that he has dozens of stories of partying on his grave.
When an analogy is made to the way Jeff sometimes mumbles his lyrics and the fact that other bands of their genre frequently condemn commercial success, Steve chides, "That's because Jeff is afraid of success. He's really a great singer and he tries to mix it down." Steve, of course, is fearless in the face of fame. "When I was 17 or 16, I would go up to Hollywood and there was just a very small amount of people into this New Wave thing.
"People like X, and even people who are big now; these people were dressed up and having fun. And it was like everyone was in this little clique. There was one in San Francisco, there was one in L.A., and there was that London scene, with all the prima donnas from England that ripped off America anyway.
"I was having a great time. And I was a very successful kid at a young age. It's ridiculous to be so narrow-minded.
"Success is what? Just being happy. It isn't just how much money you have or – If you're content with yourself, it depends on how you hold success in your eyes."
As Jeff puts it, "We just want everyone to have a good time and we'll be the conductors."

I am excited to announce that Felix the Comet will be released in June. More specific date to follow!
Felix is an enthusiastic kid who loves his dog Cosmo, school, and two best friends, until the November day Dave Spangler moves to town. Spangler gives him a horrible nickname, and Felix begins to doubt everything. On Thanksgiving night, he walks his dog, looks up in the sky and notices something that takes the roller coaster ride of the week back up again. But Spangler isn't through with him yet. Tai and Kelsey have his back, and so do a lot of others, even if he doesn't know it. He tries to handle everything by himself, especially being picked on, because being called a name really can't be that bad, can it? The last thing he wants to do is tattle.


Green tourmaline is a special crystal prized for its spectacular colour. The green tourmaline crystals on this piece encrust the quartz matrix. They also form their signature green crystal rods, with several holes in the piece where some crystals used to grow. This specimen is a very interesting piece of geological art to have for display and admiration.
Note: This crystal specimen is brittle/fragile and should be handled with care.

SpaceX Leasing Second Pad at Vandenberg
by Mike Gruss — February 3, 2015

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Air Force is leasing a second launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California to SpaceX, giving the company neighboring launch sites on the service's western range.
Robin Jackson, chief of public affairs at Vandenberg, confirmed the lease of the Space Launch Complex-4 West (SLC-4W) site to SpaceNews in a Jan. 26 response to questions. Further details, including the date and duration of the lease, were not provided. Jackson referred additional questions about the use of the pad to SpaceX.
SpaceX spokesman John Taylor did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
SpaceX telegraphed its aspirations for SLC-4 by posting a forward-looking photo on Twitter in January 2012.

— SpaceX (@SpaceX) January 30, 2012
A YouTube video posted last September claims it shows a SpaceX crew demolishing launch infrastructure at the site to make way for a landing pad.
Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX currently operates two primary launch sites: one at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and one at Vandenberg.
SpaceX has launched its Falcon 9 rocket 13 times from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40 since 2010 and has a 14th mission on tap for Feb. 8, an Air Force-sponsored launch of NOAA's Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite.
Last year, SpaceX signed a lease with NASA in 2014 to use Kennedy Space Center's SLC-39A for Falcon Heavy as well as Falcon 9 launches of crewed Dragon missions to the International Space Station.
SpaceX broke ground in 2011 on Vandenberg's SLC-4E and used it in September 2013 for the first — and so far only — time to launch Canada's experimental Cassiope satellite. Vandenberg is used primarily for satellites needing to reach high inclination and polar orbits.
SLC-4W — like SLC-4E — was built in the 1960s for the early Atlas rockets and was modified in the 1970s for the military's Titan family of rockets. The pad was last used in 2003 when the final Titan 2 launched a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program weather satellite.

Q: Parametric Equations of a Circle
Find parametric equations to go around the unit circle with speed
  $e^t$ starting from $x=1$, $y=0$. When is the circle completed?

Why is the book leaving out the constant of integration when solving this problem, or what am I missing?
Here's my work:
parametric equations of the unit circle are:
$x = r\cos(t) = 1\cos(t)$ and
$y = r\sin(t) = 1\sin(t)$.
Because $\lvert v\rvert$ (speed) is $e^t$ I will have to adjust the parameter $t$ so I will set this new parameter as $w$ giving me my position function of:
$$R(t) = \cos(w)i + \sin(w)j.$$
Hence,
$$v = R'(t) = -(dw/dt)\sin(w)i + (dw/dt)\cos(w)j,$$
and so
$$\lvert v\rvert = dw/dt,$$
which gives $dw/dt = e^t$
To find $w$ I integrate $dw/dt$ giving $w = e^t + c$.  Plugging this into my position function gives:
$$R(t) = \cos(e^t + c)i + \sin(e^t + c)j.$$
Since we know the starting position is $x=1$, $y=0$, we have
$\cos(1+c)=1$ and $\sin(1+c)=0$.  Hence, $1+c = 0$, so $c = -1$.
the final $R(t)$ should be:
$$R(t) = \cos(e^t - 1)i + \sin(e^t - 1)j,$$
however, the book says the answer is $R(t) = \cos(e^t)i + \sin(e^t)j$.
When is the circle completed?  Since we know  $\lvert v\rvert = e^t$, we integrate it to find distance giving
$$\int \lvert v\rvert = e^t + c$$
and $e^t + c = 0$.
$c = -1$.
$e^t -1  = 2\pi$.
this should give:
$$t = \ln(2\pi + 1).$$
however, the book says the answer is $t = \ln(2\pi)$.

A: The book probably has a misprint. Unroll the circular path to the line segment $[0,2\pi]$ on the $x$-axis, we have $dx/dt=e^t$ and hence $x(t)=e^t+C$. As $x(0)=0$, we have $C=-1$ and hence $x(t)=e^t-1$. Therefore $x(t)=2\pi$ when $t=\ln(1+2\pi)$.

New beginnings It's just over six weeks to go to the opening of the Eliza Palmer Hub. This wonderful building will not only be a significant feature on our landscape but will also make an enormous contribution to the life of our community. Less prominent, but arguably even more important to the future and well-being of our Village, is our new Community Charter.
We are a welcoming, caring community who support and respect each other and, through being kind and understanding, strive to make this the happiest place to age in Britain.
I am extremely grateful to members of the Forum for putting the Charter together so thoughtfully and would now encourage you all to look at the words, the sentiment behind them and to consider how we can use this statement of intent to improve the lives of all those in our community. It is a statement that puts into words the expectations we all have of what good community living looks and feels like. It also creates a foundation that underpins our way of life here now, and in the future – one that I hope will stand the test of time even longer than the bricks and mortar in the Hub.
Closing date, Tuesday 30th April 2019.

Hopefully by the time you read March's magazine Spring will have sprung and we can look forward to warmer and lighter days.
New beginnings will certainly be the theme for Whiteley Village over the spring period, as we look forward to the opening of the new Eliza Palmer Care Hub. I am sure you have seen the building taking shape and are looking forward to the grand opening. This is a key milestone in our Village so over the coming months the Eliza Palmer Care Hub will be our main news feature and I am sure this will give you the opportunity to be kept fully up-to-date with progress.

At the time of writing this we are actually in the middle of many Christmas Festivities!
The Christmas Celebration Evening and Festive Family Fun Event have just taken place and these have made the Village feel very festive. It has also been great to welcome parents and children from the local community to meet Santa at Whiteley, enjoy the lantern trail and lots of Christmas crafts. However, with the festive season now behind us and a New Year to look ahead too, there is much anticipation with the opening of the new Care Hub in 2019 and a new phase of preparing us for the next 100 years of Whiteley Village.

When collating November's issue it struck me how many articles demonstrated the community spirit which is very much alive within the Village. So many of you give your time to run clubs and societies, to volunteer, arrange trips and events, and this really does bring added value to living and ageing well at Whiteley Village.
The Thank You's section in the Villager Magazine has also really taken off in this months' edition. Villagers are full of praise and recognition for others and I really think this generates a warm-hearted spirit. Keep up the Thank You's!

Thinking about future issues of the magazine I wondered just how many interesting stories and anecdotes there are in the Village. For example, at another retirement scheme, I came across two residents. One had been a RAF pilot in the war and the other flew for the South African air force. It turned out that both had been imprisoned in the same Prisoner of War camp. What were the odds that years later they would end up living in the same retirement scheme? In the same place was a retired professional dancer who called her prosthetic leg "Matilda" (as in the song, " I'll go no more a-waltzing, Matilda, with you."). Yet another lady told me of the time she was a sixteen-year old schoolgirl when war was declared in 1939, and she was left stranded in Paris with a few francs in her pocket. How she got home to England, dodging both the ticket inspectors and the unwanted attentions of young soldiers could be written up as a play.
you would have the final say before ever it was published.

As some of you may know, my eldest daughter is leaving home this week. It's a bitter sweet time, as I know she is setting out on her own path for the future, but I shall miss her. Most of us have coped with change and loss in our lives, both very human experiences, and the kind of everyday events that can bring people together. It's often an opportunity to share an experience and get to know someone just a little better. It's also a time when you can provide support simply by knowing just how they feel.
I enjoyed Paula, Colleen's and Daryl's articles this month because they talk about how tolerance, thankfulness and feeling safe and secure, enable us to live life in full colour – even when things around us change and at times life is hard. What never changes is the roller coaster of life that keeps serving up unexpected highs and lows.
So, our wonderful opportunity at Whiteley is to recognise when people around us need a hug and to be around to celebrate the good times with them too.

Some of us also had the great honour of representing the Trust at two events held at Buckingham Palace for the charities HRH The Prince of Wales is patron of, such as the Whiteley Homes Trust, as part of his 70th birthday celebrations (some photos are featured later in this edition).
July. I know just how many months of hard work goes into organising these events and I am sure it will all pay off with something for everyone to enjoy and hopefully some great weather too!
inspiring but after three years working at Whiteley I have been offered the chance to work on the Isle of Wight for the local authority there. I have always split my time between the village and the island and this is the perfect opportunity for me to move to the island full time. By the time you read this I will be on my summer holiday in Israel but I will be returning on 9th July and will be working until the end of the month, so will hopefully have the opportunity to say goodbye personally to as many of you as possible before I leave. My thanks and very best wishes to each and every one of you.
