On behalf of the citizens of the State of Connecticut, I request your support as I designate October 2015 through October 2016 a year-long celebration of Connecticut's Submarine Century. Over this year, we will commemorate the centennial anniversary of our Submarine Base and Submarine School, which along with Electric Boat and the host community of Groton, we collectively and affectionately call the Submarine Capital of the World.
The initial Navy installation established along the eastern shore of the Thames River in Connecticut was a result of the generosity and efforts of the State and its citizens, who conveyed some 86 acres to the Navy in 1868. But it was not until 1915 that the installation, then a Navy Yard, took on historic prominence. October 18, 1915, marked the arrival of submarines G-1, G-2, and G-4 under the care of the tender USS OZARK. And on June 21, 1916, the Navy Yard changed forever as Commander Yeates Stirling assumed command of the newly designated Submarine Base, the newly established Submarine School, and the New London Submarine Flotilla.
Connecticut was the perfect location for our Nation's first submarine base in 1916. The Lake Torpedo Boat Company in Bridgeport, founded by Simon Lake, and the Electric Boat Company in Groton, founded by Isaac Rice and inventor John Holland, were the foremost submarine manufacturers of the time. As you are well aware, Electric Boat continues to build the most advanced and capable submarines in the world.
Since the founding of the Submarine School, Submarine Base New London has produced all of the talented and courageous military professionals in our submarine force. It is the professional birthplaces of every officer and crewmember in the Navy's undersea profession. In this way, the storied history of the Navy's submarine force is directly connected to the State of Connecticut. And that history and heritage is archived at the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton.
To highlight the centennial of Naval Submarine Base New London and the Naval Submarine School, and to celebrate Connecticut's submarine heritage, I invite you and the Navy to promote and participate in our year-long observance of Connecticut's Submarine Century.
Community leaders and stakeholders in Southeastern Connecticut are working with Navy representatives to create and expand opportunities for Navy leadership and citizens alike to commemorate this historic milestone for the Navy and the nation. We would welcome additional Navy outreach efforts to raise awareness of the Navy's compelling history in Southeastern Connecticut.
Bob Ross, Executive Director of the Connecticut Office of Military Affairs, will be coordinating state agency support for this high visibility project. He will work with local communities and representatives of the Navy to assist in their planning and coordination. Your staff may contact Mr. Ross at (860) 270-8074.
On behalf of the people of Connecticut, I commend the men and women of the world's greatest Navy and its submarine force. I thank you for your superb leadership of our Navy. And I look forward to your support as we celebrate Connecticut's Submarine Century.

Q: Do I have to re-list all my React Font Awesome icons from import and adding to library? It seems tedious (and like a footgun) to have to re-type all my imported icons into the library.add function. Is there a way to get around this?
// font-awesome-library.js

import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import {
  faChartBar, faFileAlt, faBalanceScale, faUser, faFutbol, faBuilding,
  faAddressBook, faChartLine, faDatabase, faServer, faLink, faCloudUpload,
  faClipboard, faSlidersH, faChartBar, faUsers
} from '@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons'
import { faFortAwesome} from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons';

// Re-listing these below seem tedious..
library.add(
  faChartBar, faFileAlt, faBalanceScale, faUser, faFutbol, faBuilding,
  faAddressBook, faChartLine, faDatabase, faServer, faLink, faCloudUpload,
  faClipboard, faSlidersH, faChartBar, faUsers, faFortAwesome,
);

Also, if I typo the import (or use the wrong name, eg faBarChart instead of faChartBar) I get an unhelpful error in react-fontawesome: TypeError: Cannot read property 'prefix' of undefined :(

A: I refactored font-awesome-library.js to:
// font-awesome-library.js

import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import * as icons from './font-awesome-icons';

Object.keys(icons).forEach(key => {
  try {
    library.add(icons[key]);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(key);
    debugger; // eslint-disable-line
    throw err;
  }
});

And only have to enumerate the icons once in font-awesome-icons.js:
// font-awesome-icons.js

export {
  faChartBar, faFileAlt, faBalanceScale, faUser, faFutbol, faBuilding,
  faAddressBook, faChartLine, faDatabase, faServer, faLink, faCloudUpload,
  faClipboard, faSlidersH, faChartPie, faUsers
} from '@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons'
export { faFortAwesome} from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons';

Also, by importing them as an object ({faChartBar, faFileAlt, /*...*/}) I am able to know exactly which icon (of the ones I tried to import) was wrongly named, solving my other problem.

Patriots beat Ryan at homecoming and face Shanahan tonight
Quarterback Nick Lamey gets ready to make a pass in a game last year.
Caleb Carter, Staff writer
Archbishop Carroll had a blowout win last week against Archbishop Ryan, beating them 40-6. Though the stands were nearly empty, Archbishop Carroll let everyone know they will be more than capable in a tough Philadelphia Catholic League this season.
Led by senior starting quarterback Nick Lamey, who threw for 176 yards and recorded two touchdown passes to senior receiver Malachi Hansen, the Patriots excelled past Archbishop Ryan.
In a post-game interview, Lamey was beyond excited. He said, "It was fun to be back out there with my friends that I have been playing with since freshman year. It meant a lot to come out on homecoming and dominate the game like we did. All around great game by Carroll and looking to keep this momentum going into weeks to come."
Another senior, Brennan Robinson, had three touchdowns. One of his touchdowns was a three-yard rush on the team's first drive of the game. The other two were kickoff returns. Those were the only two kickoff returns Carroll received.
"I felt really good going into the game," Robinson said. "We felt really prepared but I couldn't do any of it without my team. Everything I did was because of them and how they executed every single play."
With three touchdowns from Robinson and two from Lamey to Hansen, the Patriots were in a good position. Senior Nate Gould added the icing on the cake, rushing for a 1-yard touchdown.
On the other side of things, Archbishop Ryan receiver Joe Mastrangelo received a screen pass from Dwayne Yost and ran 59 yards for the only Ryan touchdown of the game.
The Carroll football team will be put to the test once again at 7 p.m. today in a matchup against Bishop Shanahan. The Patriots showed much promise this past Saturday and they are looking to continue this success today.

Herdman, Prof Sir William Abbott (marine biology)
Born: 8 September 1858, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Died: 21 July 1924, London, United Kingdom.
William A. Herdman, marine zoologist, was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he was awarded the degree Master of Arts (MA). Later he obtained the degree Doctor of Science (DSc). He became an assistant to Sir Charles W. Thomson*, working with him on the collections of HMS Challenger and making a special study of the Tunicates (a group of primitive chordates including the sea-squirts), on which he became the leading authority. Later he compiled a Descriptive catalogue of the Tunicata in the Australian Museum, Sydney, New South Wales (1899).
In 1881 Herdman was appointed the first Derby professor of natural history at the University of Liverpool, retaining the post to 1919. In that year he was appointed professor of oceanography for one year, until his retirement in 1920. He organised the marine research laboratory at the university in 1891. His work included attempts to coordinate the fishing industry with the results of scientific research and assisting with the plankton survey of the Irish Sea. He was chairman of the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee, which issued its first annual report in 1886 on the fauna of Liverpool Bay. Its 22nd to 24th annual reports, in 1908-1910, dealt with work of the marine biological station on the Isle of Man, where Herdman had a summer home. With P.M.C. Kermode he carried out archaeological investigations on the island, which were described in Manx antiquities (1904). Over the years he produced a series of publications on the fauna of the Firth of Forth, Liverpool Bay, and the Irish Sea. In 1901 he visited Ceylon to report on its pearl oyster fisheries.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1892, serving on its council from 1898 to 1910, and was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He became a member of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1887, served as general secretary from 1903 to 1919, and was president of the association in 1920. He was a Fellow of the Linnean Society and served as its president from 1904 to 1908.
In 1905 Herdman attended the joint meetings of the British and South African Associations for the Advancement of Science in South Africa, delivering a paper on "Pearl oysters and pearls" in Johannesburg on 29 August. By that time he had already delivered an evening lecture on "Marine biology" during the delegates' visit to Durban. As chairman of one of the British Association's committees he reported on its ongoing investigation of the fauna and flora of the Trias of the British Isles. He was also a member of a committee reporting on the organisation and registration of British zoologists that year.
In addition to his many scientific reports and papers, Herdman wrote a book, The founders of oceanography, which was published in 1923. He was honoured as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1920, and knighted in 1922.

Sixth form student research continues to grow →
Brecht's radical Galileo
Posted on May 29, 2017 by Eddie Playfair
Brecht's 'Life of Galileo' is a great piece of theatre with universal appeal. It's also a particularly good one for science students because it brings the scientific method to life. Galileo's struggle to get acceptance for the 'Copernican' heliocentric model of the solar system took place nearly 400 years ago and even though the Catholic church has admitted it was wrong to force him to recant in 1633, it took them quite some time to come round to this view – officially not till 1992.
Now that even his most implacable opponents have accepted his evidence, what can this historical episode still have to say to us, in the age of space travel, satellites and quantum mechanics? Brecht uses the story to remind us of the subversive power of reason. In the 17th century, as now, rational evidence is capable of calling into question long-held assumptions and the existing order. Simply by asking the right questions and relying on observation, we are capable of overturning established dogma.
Brecht's Galileo is far from being a high-minded theorist. He has plenty of human frailty as well as a being a cussed rationalist who believes in methodical observation, questioning and putting his own theories under the most rigorous scrutiny. He teaches us the central importance of theory building, doubt and falsificationism:
We'll question everything, everything, all over again. And we won't run at it in great big boots, we'll go at a snail's pace. And what we find today, we'll strike from the record tomorrow. And only when we find it once more will we write it in. And when we find something we want to find, we'll look at it with fierce suspicion. (Scene 9)
And later:
As I see it, to be a scientist needs particular courage. Science is knowledge won through doubt. (Scene 14)
In his very first speech, in Scene 1, Galileo describes the movement and turbulence he sees in a world where the existing order appears so settled and unchanging:
The Pope, cardinals, princes, captains, merchants, fishwives and schoolboys thought they were stuck dead still at the centre of that crystal ball. But now we're flying headlong into outer space.
Where belief sat, now sits doubt. The whole world says – that's what the old books say. Now let's look for ourselves. The most solemn truth gets tapped on the shoulder. All that was never doubted, we doubt.
Overnight the universe lost its centre and this morning they are countless. Each and none at all is the centre.
Brecht's Galileo is quick to see the revolutionary social implications of such questioning of authority.
…a wind of questions lifts the gold embroidered robes of princes and prelates to show – just fat or thin legs, legs like our legs..…Suddenly there's a lot of room! (Scene 1)
And later, in Scene 14:
By giving knowledge of everything to everyone, it breeds sceptics…Our new age of doubt delights the people. They tore the telescope from our hands and pointed it at their tormentors.
Galileo confronts, persuades and cajoles his detractors – most of whom are the powerful beneficiaries of the established order: cardinals and aristocrats. But it is in the moving speech of the 'little monk' that he has to address the fears the common people might have about turning the existing order upside down. The monk comes from a family of poor peasants from the Campagna. He is already turning to science and is conflicted about the impact the new ideas might have:
When I observe the phases of Venus I see my family…I see the roof beams above them, black with the smoke of centuries…in their hardship there is a kind of order…Whatever the disasters, life is regular…From what do they summon the strength to drag their baskets up the stony path?…From the continuity, the sense of necessity given to them by the sight of the soil…by listening to Bible texts…they are told that the whole theatre of the universe is built around them, so that they…can play their parts well…
What would my family say if I told them that they are really on a small lump of stone, spinning endlessly in empty space around an…insignificant star, one among many? There is no part to play…no meaning in our misery…
Galileo responds:
Why is nothing left?… You're right, it's not about the planets, it's about the peasants of the Campagna. ..Virtues don't depend on misery my friend. If your family were well off and happy, they'd have all the virtues being well of and happy beings…The victory of reason can only be the victory of reasonable people…I see the divine patience of your people, but where is their divine anger? (Scene 8)
Towards the end of his life, Galileo reflects on the moral duty of a newly empowered scientific establishment. In a speech in Scene 14, added by Brecht after the Manhattan project and the use of nuclear weapons at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he has Galileo say:
If only scientists had a Hippocratic oath, like the doctors, vowing to use their knowledge only for the welfare of mankind! But now, all we have is a race of inventive dwarfs who can be hired for anything.
Joe Wright's brilliant new production of 'Life of Galileo' at the Young Vic, starring Brendan Cowell as the irrepressible lead, brings out the play's humanity as well as communicating all the key ideas. The staging in the round creates a constant sense of movement and places the action in both the centre and the periphery of the theatre. The play's egalitarian message is reinforced by the mingling of cast and audience. The spectacular projections onto a planetarium dome help to illustrate the scientific observations; the sun as a broiling furnace, the moon with its mountain peaks casting their shadows and the 2-dimensional view of the movements of Jupiter's moons revealed as circular orbits when seen in 3 dimensions. Limiting the period-specific details reveals the play's timeless case for human rationalism and restless curiosity.
For the science students who were seeing this for the first time, the excellent staging, casting, music and ensemble gave them a fantastic introduction to Brecht and to the story of Galileo. They left the theatre buzzing with questions and ideas – and, I hope, an even greater desire to move forever onwards.

U.S. consulate eagle takes up residence at Museum of Liverpool
On Wednesday 21 May the Museum of Liverpool welcomed a new resident.
The gilded bald eagle which adorned the world's first U.S. consulate on Paradise Street has taken its place at the entrance to the Museum's Global City Gallery, which explores Liverpool's international links.
Lent to the Museum by Liverpool ONE / Grosvenor, the eagle was removed from its original 'perch' in 2003 when the area's redevelopment began. It has since undergone conservation, and a full size replica – which was revealed in December 2013 – has taken its place.
Paul Gallagher said: "This eagle is a clear representation of Liverpool's deep-rooted relationship with North America, which goes back centuries. It's an important part of the city's history, and as a social history museum we couldn't wish for a more appropriate object to highlight the significant links that were forged more than 200 years ago.
"We've worked hard with Liverpool ONE to make sure the eagle is displayed in a prominent position at the entrance to our Global City gallery, ensuring it can't be missed by our visitors. Our life size Liver Bird replica gets a lot of attention, but we hope the new bird in the Museum will get its fair share too!"
In 1790, only seven years after winning its independence from Britain, the United States of America chose Liverpool as the site for its first ever consulate. The city's growing transatlantic trade made it a vital partner for the USA, keen to exploit further commercial opportunities with Liverpool, Britain and beyond.
The consulate building stood in Paradise Street near to the quayside of Steers Dock, the world's first commercial enclosed wet dock. Above its entrance graced the wooden sculpture of a gilded bald eagle, the proud symbol of the newly unified country.
Many Americans visiting the city were seamen, and the eagle was a recognisable icon if they needed help or advice in an unknown town.
Chris Bliss, Liverpool ONE Estate Director said: "It's fantastic to see the eagle on display in the Museum. Although we unveiled an exact replica on the original consulate building last year, we were very keen that local people and visitors to Liverpool would be able to see the original in all its glory.
"While adorning the consulate, it was exposed to the elements for many years and was becoming increasingly vulnerable with age as it's made of wood. Since it was taken into conservation it has been expertly restored, and we know it will be well looked after in its new home so it can be enjoyed for many years to come."
The consulate eventually closed after the Second World War, when Liverpool's importance as an international port declined. The building had a number of uses before it became The American Eagle pub and finally The Eagle before closure in 2003 to make way for the Liverpool ONE redevelopment in 2008.

At a Television Critics Association panel over the weekend, NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt was pressed about whether or not Parks and Rec would be returning for another season. While he said he was initially "bullish" on the show's chances, Greenblatt eventually said: "I'm going out on a limb: Parks and Recreation is going to have a seventh season." No news how many episodes it will be or whether or not it'll make the series' final season, and according to NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke, the decision does not affect whether or not Community will also get a new season pickup. Considering Parks is losing two big characters next week with the departure of Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe, it should be interesting to find out where Amy Poehler and company plan to take the series next year.

A woman had to be treated with oxygen therapy due to smoke inhalation after flammable objects left on a kitchen hob filled a property with smoke.
Two fire crews from Leek were called to Leonard Street, near to the Haywood Street junction, shortly after 11am today (November 9) to reports of a property had filled with smoke.
On arrival they found the blaze had already been extinguished and that it was started when a kitchen hob filled a room with smoke. One female had to be treated with oxygen.
A Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "We were called to Leonard Street in Leek at 11.04am and two crews from Leek attended.
"It appears a lady left something on hob and it filled a kitchen with smoke. The alarms did not activate so it appears the house did not have working smoke alarms.
"We would like to remind people of the importance of having working smoke alarms in their home."


Friday morning our guys got up and at 'em with all intentions of going fishing like they usually do, taking the same ol route through the crack under the bridge and making their way out the inlet. Instead of the usual easy normal way, the guys came to a screeching halt when they realized the sand had kicked up under the bridge and only gave 4-5 feet of water!!! Our boats need at least 7ft to remain in the safe zone, so this got them nowhere but turned around and headed right back home. Talk about a stressful day for our Captains, a lot to think about and a lot of figuring things out. Needless to say they were on the phones all night contemplating with each other their next move. Some decided to take the route less traveled down the sound to Hatteras Inlet and some managed to get lucky and follow the dredge out. It was a smart but risky move on their part but the day paid off for them! We had some great fishing. The Wahoo bite was going off so the ride home was a nice satisfied one. Between the government shutting down at the beginning of our fall season, our marina being shut down, our rent fees at other marinas piling on top of existing rent fees, nor'easter after nor'easter and no water under our bridge, I think its safe to say we are SURVIVORS!!! Yep! We got this!

The Rutland Children's Theatre Project began in 2012. Its aim is to encourage a love of theatre in young children. It aims to achieve this by enabling them to experience high quality professional children's theatre, and by working with other children on their own live devised performances. The Project is part of The Windmill House Trust's programme of funding for activities involving children in Uppingham and the vicinity.
In the last four years the Project, thanks to The Windmill House Trust's generous funding, has enabled over 5,000 Rutland children to watch free high quality live drama in a professional theatre.
We present free live children's theatre for primary schools and for children escorted by their parents. All productions are presented in Uppingham Theatre, thanks to the generous support of Uppingham School, who provide theatre staff and facilities free of charge.
The Trust also pays for the audiences of 300+ children to be transported from their schools to Uppingham Theatre. Without this schools could not afford to come to the shows. Shows are at 1:00pm (schools only) and 4:00pm.
We also organize the biennial Rutland Children's Drama Festival. Six Rutland schools took part in the first festival in 2014. Seven schools took part in 2016.
Contact project director Alastair McLachlan for further details and to enquire about tickets or anything else to do with the project.

In this Walruss interview, Jonathan Groner, an associate professor of surgery at the Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health, describes parallels between lethal injection in America and the Nazi Germany "euthanasia" program. As in Nazi Germany, Groner says that in America doctors are today being asked to hold the lethal syringe.
Daniel Sturm: You say that you see similarities between Nazi doctors and U.S. execution teams?
Jonathan Groner: At Northwestern University I read many Holocaust books, being Jewish and having gone to Hebrew High School. It was interesting to see how intimately doctors were involved in the Nazi euthanasia program, and eventually in the genocide. When I was a surgery resident, I heard a lecture about Robert Jay Lifton, who studied the corruption of Nazi Germany physicians. Lifton described how the government recruited physicians to kill physically and mentally disabled patients, including the "criminally insane." What struck me was the idea of using healing imagery to justify killing. That stayed with me.
Daniel Sturm: When did you first become critical of the death penalty?
Jonathan Groner: In 1997 Arkansas executed three people in one night. Reading about how they came into the room, put the IVs in, laid the prisoners down on the table, and executed them one by one – this sounded a lot like the concentration camps. The euthanasia program's chief administrator was often quoted saying, "The syringe belongs in the hand of a physician." The analogy really stuck with me. Compare the kind of language they use to describe these executions and you will find similarities. It's a similar kind of healing imagery: "Family hope killer's death ends their years of pain, lets their healing begin." The Time magazine article about the first lethal injection in 1982 read, "It looks like a hospital room." After the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 President Clinton said, "It's time to let the healing begin." And his next sentence was, "We've got to find the people who did this to kill them!"** It's always this pattern of killing/healing/killing/healing.
Daniel Sturm: You argue that after the introduction of lethal injection the number of executions increased. How so?
Jonathan Groner: My thesis is that if we never went with lethal injection, we'd never have begun executing more than five or seven prisoners per year. I think lethal injection puts that veneer of medical respectability on murder. I think they did a good job in "Dead Man Walking" to demonstrate this kind of medicalization: They swab the prisoner's arm with alcohol and all that. It looks like medicine, and again, it's just like the Nazi regime's medicalized killing.
Daniel Sturm: In 1977, when Dr. Stanley Deutsch, an Oklahoma anesthesiologist, helped to draft the first state lethal injection law, it was considered progress. A more humane method of killing when compared with the electric chair.
Jonathan Groner: Is there such a thing as humane killing? Could there be less physical torture? I don't think so either. I have patients who pass out from taking out suture, and others I can cause significant pain to and they seem fine. You just can't quantify physical or psychic pain. Would it be more humane to use anesthesia drugs? Perhaps. But in order for his method to succeed, and not torture people, it requires medically trained individuals. A prison guard administering pancuronium is almost like me flying a 747. I can actually fly an airplane. But I couldn't fly a 747.
Daniel Sturm: Why doesn't Ohio employ physicians to ensure that executions are done properly?
Jonathan Groner: The state fears litigation. The American Medical Association (AMA) distinguishes between pronouncing death and certifying death. To pronounce death you are trying to ascertain that the moment of death has arrived. In order to do that you have to examine a person's presence or absence of vital signs. The AMA considers monitoring the vital signs in an execution to be unethical. If you monitor vital signs and there is still a presence you would have to give more drugs, so you would instantly become an actor of execution.
** The exact quote of Bill Clinton's April 23 speech reads, "We pledge to do all we can to help you heal the injured, to rebuild this city, and to bring to justice those who did this evil."

Genderqueer Student Murdered and Burnt in Rio Favela
Matheus Passareli was missing since last April 29 after being seen for the last time after leaving a party | Photo: @hugomingozzi
Published 7 May 2018
One week ago, friends and relatives of Theusa created a Facebook group to draw attention on the student's disappearance and to demand authorities to resolve it.
A 21-year-old art student who identified as non-binary or genderqueer and was reported missing a week ago was murdered in a northern Rio de Janeiro favela, police in the Brazilian city said on Monday after discovering the victim's burned body.
Brazil: Public Security Cameras En Route to Marielle Franco's Home Were Turned Off Before Assassination
The killing of Matheus Passareli, who went by the name "Theusa" and refused to be categorized as either male or female, plunged Rio's LGBTQI community into mourning on Brazil's social network feeds.
Theusa, a bohemian figure studying at the Rio de Janeiro State University, was well-known in the community, which encompasses lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and intersex people born with any of several variations in sex characteristics.
Una publicación compartida por Liniker (@linikeroficial) el May 6, 2018 at 6:05 PDT
"The victim was murdered early on Sunday, April 29 while leaving a party" in the slum area, Rio police said in a statement. "Investigations are being carried out through various avenues with the aim of finding the perpetrators of the crime and sending them to prison."
On Monday, Theusa's brother Gabriel Passareli, who also identified as genderless, said in a Facebook message that police had notified the family that Theusa's body "was burned and there is little chance of finding solid evidence" of who carried out the murder.
"I am sorry to have chosen to be so carefree in the face of so much cruelty that my sister and myself... were exposed to," wrote the sibling, who goes by the name Gabe. The post added that the family had retreated to their hometown in rural Rio de Janeiro state for their grieving.
Theusa's murder came less than two months after the slaying of Marielle Franco, a black city councillor in Rio and a lesbian who fought against racism and lobbied for rights for the LGBTQI community and favela residents.
Although the LGBTQI community is relatively tolerated in big urban centers in Brazil, the country has one of the highest murder rates of homosexuals in the world.
In 2016, 343 people were killed in crimes linked to their sexual or gender orientations, according to the Bahia Gay Group, an association active in promoting the community's rights.

Being John Malkovich (1999)
The night before seeing Being John Malkovich, I saw Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola. They were shooting a movie outside my office (I work in a film archive). When I arrived, Sofia was buried up to her neck in orange dirt; some of my colleagues kicked more dirt into her face as they walked by. I thought this was sort of mean, but it did make the scene look better. Meanwhile, I told Spike Jonze about this series of dreams I'd been having lately. In the dreams I worked with a bunch of people who got sent to Hell every night. They always alluded to these visits with a mixture of horror and pride — they seemed to think that this experience set them apart from others and made them fascinating people, sort of like getting a lot of tattoos. Eventually, I got sent along with them, and discovered that Hell was full of giant cartoon beasts resembling Pokemon. They chased everyone around the office for eternity; a few people were lucky enough to escape through a revolving glass door. I got to the door and woke up, and Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola were preparing to be interviewed by an Italian telejournalist. They were showing how youthful and fun-loving they were by roller-skating on a frozen bridge. As noted film curator Edith Kramer pointed out, the combination of ice and roller skates seemed dangerous. At the time, a group of turkeys was sitting on the waterfront, near the Italian telejournalist's airplane. I made the mistake of hissing at one of the turkeys, and it suddenly jumped on another turkey's shoulders and the stack of two turkeys came running toward me, looking very menacing. Luckily they lost track of what they were doing and wandered away. Later, the whole flock of turkeys took flight, continuing their long journey south for the winter.

We were in the Islands. Fay Wray had her photo taken in front of a biplane, with a jaunty white scarf around her neck and a featureless pilot beside her. Then the plane took off and disappeared over the summit of a distant mountain. A few minutes later, aged some 60 years by her terrible adventure, bloated and with her hair all disarranged, Fay Wray came running back down the mountain, carrying a sack of grapefruits. The grapefruits were spilling out of the sack and rolling down the mountain. I thought, "pamplemousses."

ok – so I decided to set up my own WordPress blog on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance.
As you may already know, you can use AWS CloudFormation to deploy a ready made WordPress blog AMI image but I wanted to find out what was going on under the hood. So here are the steps I took.
The instructions in this blog post only apply to the Amazon Linux AMI. Different steps may be needed if you choose another Linux AMI. Also, phpMyAdmin is used to create the database in this blog.
First up, launch an EC2 instance. I chose the classic wizard to launch my instance.
Next, select the AMI. I chose the 64 bit Amazon Linux AMI. The instructions in this blog only apply to this AMI. So proceed with care if you choose another AMI.
Next up, select your instance size. I chose the micro instance. If your blog has a high throughput of traffic, you may want to choose a larger instance.
Accept the defaults on the Instance Details page.
On the Create Key Pair page, create a key pair and download the pem file to your computer.
On the Configure Firewall page, select the Quick Start security group. At this point, you are ready to launch your instance.
After a few minutes your server instance will be created and we are now ready to SSH into it to install WordPress.
To SSH into our instance, we need the public DNS address of it. So select the server instance we have just created to show the details and then select the public DNS as shown below.
After you have loaded your .pem file, PuTTYgen displays the screen below. Click on Save Private Key as shown.
Click Yes when PuTTYgen asks if you are sure you want to save the key without a passphrase.
We are finished with PuTTYgen so close it down.
Now open PuTTY to connect to our instance and enter the Public DNS address from our instance selected a few steps back as the host name.
Then navigate to Connection->SSH->Auth and browse to your key file.
Select the Open button. If all is well, you should get a Login prompt. Login as ec2-user.
Change the authentication type to http as shown in the screen shot above.
In a web browser navigate to your public DNS address and if the web server is operating correctly you should see something similar to the screenshot below.
Add /phpmyadmin to the end of the browser address and you should see the phpMyAdmin start page. Login using root and 'your chosen password' selected above.
Now create a new database called wordpress.
Go back to the phpMyAdmin home page by clicking on the logo in the top left hand corner then select Privileges.
Once on the privileges page, select Add a new user. Enter a user called wordpressuser and enter a password. For the host, enter localhost . Also click the check all box as shown below. Press Go.
In theory, thats it. Just go to your wordpress blog to test it. You should see the wordpress installation screen.
From here you can just set up WordPress by choosing a site title and selecting a username and password. Hit the Install WordPress button and you should have a wordpress blog.

JBS to be Sued over Doux Debt
Markets and economics Processing
31 July 2013, at 9:34am
BRAZIL - US investment management company Oppenheimer Funds is to sue Brazilian meat processing giant JBS over an unpaid loan taken out by the French poultry producer Doux.
The loan was taken out in 2008 by the French company for its Brazilian subsidiary Frangosul.
According to the Wall Street Journal Oppenheimer Funds is a major creditor in the $100 million loan.
The Frangosul processing and production units of Doux were leased by JBS in 2012 for 10 years after the French company ran into financial trouble.
JBS also has an option to buy the Frangosul operations.
The leasing arrangement includes a processing plant in Passo Fundo, which was collateral for the loan and the Oppenheimer Funds' Brazilian lawyer, Fernando Bilotti Ferreira, at Santos Neto Advogados, believes the arrangement breaches the agreement over it, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Doux stopped payments on the loan before the leasing agreement was signed and still owes $75 million.
When JBS agreed the leasing arrangement is said it would not be liable for Doux debts in Brazil.

In light of this, and also because this half of FishbowlNY has been coming to you from just north of Toronto for the past ten days, we thought it might be fun to introduce our readers to a little Canadian media (Lara Logan, breathe easy!).
Anyway, in newspaper circles July 1 is also known as the day of great Canadian introspection OR what makes us not American. True to form, Canada's national paper the Globe and Mail is running a "Canada Day Quiz: Test your knowledge of Canadian and American history." The final result: we're "bad on both but worse on Canada." So much for CanCon, we guess.
Over at the Toronto Star the front page appears to be expressing gratitude and some amazement over the fact we still even exist: "141! Not too Shabby, Eh?" "We're still here," reads the first line followed by an encouraging editorial page full of op-ed pieces about why Canada, actually, is so great! Yep, business as usual up here in the apartment above the party. Because no matter how severely the States messes itself up, or how many badly thought out wars it gets itself into, no matter how intolerable the President, or how severe the navel-gazing, no matter that we have the kind natural resources that could make us a power house in the future (should we have that sort of foresight) we still want to be loved by you! Or at least recognized. Even though we are totally, completely different from you. We want you to pay attention to how different we are! It's exhausting. Anyway, Happy Canada Day. We're still here.


Pusha T recently sat down for an interview, where he talked about his new partnerships and the generational divide in hip-hop.
"Man, there are just absolutely no rules. No rules at all. They're such free spirits. They don't even record how I do. I come in a with a new notepad, pen, and I write like that. I have to see it. It helps me memorize it. They come in and run straight to the mic and just be who they are. And they find themselves through it all. Not everybody; there were some other writers in there, like, Hass and Tyler. Tyler [is] so good at it. It comes out just that precise or damn near close. And then he'll go and chop it up, make it right a little bit," he told Vibe.
Pusha is currently promoting new project "1800 Seconds," which is a new artist discovery platform in partnership with 1800 Tequila that highlights unsigned artists from around the country. Pusha will mentor 10 artists.


We have spent the last 2 years working on a major strategic planning project with the estate and the community in Applecross. A key output from the project was the creation of the Applecross Forum, in tandem with the development of a new estate plan for the Applecross Trust.
It was really heartening to see the first meeting of the Forum so well attended by the community and the Applecross Trust staff this week.

Post-pandemic era calls for greater China-EU contributions
Chinese President Xi Jinping will hold a virtual meeting with German and European Union (EU) leaders on Monday, a timely and critical gathering to steer the China-EU partnership toward a more stable and mature future in a world where uncertainties abound.
It is the second China-EU leaders' meeting in three months, and the latest episode of frequent high-level exchanges between the two sides, demonstrating an earnest hope from Beijing and Brussels to boost all-round cooperation, and build a more open and prosperous world.
Cooperation between China and the EU, following the establishment of their diplomatic ties 45 years ago, continues to gain momentum with bilateral trade and mutual investment thriving and people-to-people exchanges flourishing. The two sides have also been working closely on global matters.
Humanity is struggling to cope with an unprecedented public health crisis rarely seen in a century, while the global economy is absorbing the impact of perhaps the worst economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Unfortunately, in an age where cooperation and solidarity are much-needed, the specter of isolationism and protectionism is rearing its ugly head.
At this drastic moment, China and the EU, which account for about a quarter of the world's population and one third of gross global product, need to step up efforts to advance cooperation and strengthen coordination to better handle challenges in a post-pandemic era.
The most urgent task for China and the EU is to build an anti-pandemic partnership to beat the deadly virus and to steer the world economy toward recovery as soon as possible.
As governments around the world are seeking to reopen their countries, the two sides need to focus on how to step up their collective and coordinated response to facilitate cross-border movements of people and goods while doing their best to reduce the risk of new trans-border cases to a minimum. A multinational information-sharing network for both people and commercial goods is among the must-dos.
China and the EU should also give full play to their respective advantages and work even closer to fast-track the development, production and distribution of effective treatments and vaccines, and make sure those live-saving tools are accessible and affordable.
In the field of the economy and trade, the cornerstone of China-EU relations, Beijing and Brussels share a promising future. In 2019, the two-way trade reached roughly 710 billion U.S. dollars, growing at 8 percent year on year. Germany, the EU's rotating presidency in the second half of 2020, has long been China's largest trading partner in Europe.
Despite the pandemic, economic and trade cooperation between the two sides remain robust in 2020. In the first eight months, a total of 7,601 China-Europe freight train trips were made, up by 44 percent over the same period in 2019.
Looking into the future, it is also important for the two sides to make the pie of their shared interests bigger. Thus China and the EU must join their efforts in the investment treaty negotiations and search for solutions to remaining issues so as to ensure a timely conclusion of a comprehensive deal. On this basis, a joint feasibility study for a China-EU free trade agreement could be put on the table.
Furthermore, the two sides should work together to crack open new areas for cooperation, as Xi proposed at the 22nd China-EU leaders' meeting in June, to forge a green and digital partnership between China and the EU by fostering cooperation in clean energy, sustainable finance, e-commerce and cloud computing.
The latest bit of good news for EU investors came at the China International Fair for Trade in Services earlier this month, when Beijing announced more practical steps to further open its market, including developing a negative-list system to better manage cross-border services trade, further easing market access for the services sector, and expanding imports of quality services.
In the international arena, China and the EU are playing a major role in maintaining world peace and stability, and improving global governance, including jointly fending off unilateralism and protectionism, supporting the guiding roles of the United Nations and the World Health Organization, and tackling the world's most pressing issues such as the raging pandemic, terrorism and climate change.
To do that, communication and coordination is indispensable. China and the EU need to build a bridge of mutual understanding to overcome their social and political differences and reject xenophobia.
The 45-year-old China-EU relationship shows that the two sides share far more in common than their differences would suggest. It is believed that China and the EU can further their own interests by respecting one another's legitimate and core concerns.
As the pandemic continues to rage and the global economic crisis remains far from over, the world is crying for more contributions by China and the EU. Together, they should fight tooth and nail for the common future of all.

Q: How to fix the error "Expression is not a function locator" in C? I was programming in C to write a simple program to learn about matrices and for loops, and when I compiled it, I got this error:
(39,23) : ERROR (138) Expression is not a function locator
(44,23) : ERROR (138) Expression is not a function locator
Note: This was C code made using the C toolkit for the TI-84 Plus Ce (Link to source code)
I tried manually putting in indices for the matrix canvas[0][0] and changing what is being assigned to the matrix index, and still got the error
Here is the code:
#include <math.h>
#include <tice.h>
#include <graphx.h>

static float cube[8][3] =
{
    {-1.0,-1.0,-1.0},
    {1.0,-1.0,1.0},
    {1.0,-1.0,2.0},
    {-1.0,-1.0,2.0},
    {-1.0,1.0,1.0},
    {1.0,1.0,1.0},
    {1.0,1.0,2.0},
    {-1.0,1.0,2.0}
};

float canvas[8][2] =

        for (r = 0; r < 1; r++)
        {
            if (r == 0)
            {
                canvas[c][0] = 20(cube[c][0] * cube[c][2]);
                canvas[c][r] = 160 + canvas[c][r];
            }
            else
            {
                canvas[c][1] = 20(cube[c][1] * cube[c][2]);
                canvas[c][r] = 120 + (-canvas[c][r]);
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

A: These 2 lines contain errors:
canvas[c][0] = 20(cube[c][0] * cube[c][2]);
canvas[c][1] = 20(cube[c][1] * cube[c][2]);

Your compiler reads 20(... as a function, hence the error message, if you mean to multiply by 20 simply add 20 * (...

When Sam Houston Br...
This quote is SO good, but I need to give y'all some historical context. Although Sam Houston stressed the need for discipline among his soldiers during the Texas revolution, Sam sometimes joined with them in bending the rules. He and his troops commandeered cattle from farms as they moved through Texas but he gave strict orders for the men not to touch pigs and chickens which, unlike the wild bovines, were the cherished personal property of families. Soldier Frank Sparks wanted a break from beef and, discovering an abandoned barnyard full of chickens and hogs and a smokehouse packed with bacon, told several friends that he was going to cook a regular dinner. They warned him that Houston would punish them but he told them that he didn't care and said that he'd take the blame. And now the quote:
"I told them that I would take all the blame, and clear them. They soon agreed to this, for none of us had tasted any bread for some time. We had nothing but beef, and that cooked only one way--roasted by the fire.(we had no vessels to cook in)--and without any salt, too.
I went to work and killed twelve grown chickens, dressed them, and put them in a large wash pot; I also put in some sliced bacon. I then made an oven and a large skillet of cornbread. I took six of the chickens, and put them in a dinner pot, with at least half a gallon of rich gravy, and set it away, together with the oven of bread. By this time the beeves had been butchered and hung up, and I called the men to come to dinner. The yard was covered with feathers, and the men said to me, 'Ain't you afraid Houston will punish you if you don't take those feathers away?' I said, 'No.' Well, we all did justice to that dinner.
It was getting late in the evening. I got up on the rail fence, and pretty soon I saw the army coming. Houston, Rusk, Burleson, Sherman and some of the other officers came up and dismounted. I opened the gate, and said, 'Gentlemen officers, I wish to see you in the house.' I led the way, and they all followed me in. I saw Houston knit his brows when he saw the feathers in the yard. When they were all in, I closed the door, and addressed General Houston in the following way, 'General, I have disobeyed orders; when we arrived here, I found everything deserted and we were hungry, for we have had nothing to eat, except beef; so I killed some chickens and baked some bread, and we had a good dinner.' He looked at me as if he were looking through me, and said, 'Sparks, I will have to punish you. You knew it was against orders; I will have to punish you.' I said, 'General, I saved you some,' and I took the lids off the vessels that contained the chicken and the bread, and told them to help themselves. Rusk drew his knife first, and all the others followed suit, except Houston, who had not taken his eyes off me all this time. Finally he said, 'Sparks, I hate to punish you.' I said, 'General, I will submit to whatever you put upon me.' Rusk said, 'General, if you don't come on we'll eat all the dinner. We have not had such a dinner since we left home. Sparks is a good cook.'
Then the General drew his knife, and attacked the dinner. After he had eaten a short time, General Rusk said, 'General Houston, it is a maxim in law that 'he who partakes of stolen property, knowing it to be such, is guilty with the thief.'' General Houston replied, 'No one wants any of your law phrases.' After the meal General Houston said, 'Sparks, I'll not punish you for this offense, but if you are guilty of it the second time I will double the punishment.'"

Our School is one of thirty-six schools within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Plymouth. The Trustees of the Diocese have made a decision to convert all Diocesan Schools into a multi academy trust, meaning that some of our support services will be centralised and that we have left LA control.
Previously, our school was "voluntary aided" which meant, whilst largely funded by the state, the land and building were owned by the Catholic Church and this had a substantial influence on the running of the school.
Our school became a member of the Plymouth Catholic Anglican Schools Trust in April 2014. This arrangement removed our school from the Local Authority and our voluntary aided status has been replaced by Academy status. The Multi Academy Trust is overseen by a Board made up of Diocesan officials, trustees, and Head Teachers. This is an exciting development for our schools and will help to ensure that the Catholic mission is retained and developed. The fundamental ethos and the organisation of our school remains the same. Because the change offers greater financial stability for all schools within the Academy trust, the work of the school continues uninterrupted.


I have been now working for an entire day without using the basic HTML view of Google or launching Outlook, to read my Gmail. Here are my findings on this first day of using the more advanced features of the standard view of Gmail and I'm going to throw twitter in as well.
I've done a lot of work in Gmail today, in both my Google apps for education account at work and my personal account. This is not been as smooth as using outlook to get through my piles of email. Unfortunately I seem to have lost three or four messages I was sending in the process of composing them. I'm finding the process of staying within the body of the message to be a little fragile. Yes in some cases the problem isPeBCAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair). However, I did find a significant difference in my ability to get the information I needed when I used NVDA the open source free screen reader.
I would be working in the body of a message that I wanted to send reading through the content before sending it and accidentally hitting the wrong key. Then I could never find the body of the message again. I tracked down the problem to hitting F10 by itself instead of hitting shift F10 to bring up the context menu. Of course with my poor spelling this was an action I took a lot. So if my fingers were just a little slower on one hand then on the other I would be lost. I do think NVDA had a definite advantage over Jaws because I was using JAWS first. So admittedly I was learning how to navigate the interface and navigate it with a screen reader well testing with Jaws. However, after the first day I still can not find the text of a message that has been opened to read it with Jaws without turning on the virtual cursor. I am finding that using JAWS requires me to drop in and out of the virtual cursor depending on the situation. Getting to know what the situations are will only take another day or two. In comparison NVDA seems to always be in the state i needed it to be when i needed it.
NVDA also had a distinct advantage in that one of the first things I did today was listen to Marco's podcast on how to use Gmail in Firefox within NVDA. So I already knew what to expect and how to navigate with that screen reader.
Moving on to twitter now which was also a very pleasantly surprising experience. Twitter has created a very simple user interface to interact with it as an application. Many of the keyboard shortcuts that they have chosen are standard in other applications which make them easy to learn and remember. The only thing I am finding to be difficult in this transition is understanding the difference in terminology. Maybe I'm still too new to twitter I've only had an account for about a year and a half but the terminology used on the twitter website is very different than what I've heard from my friends and what I've used in clients in the past. For example I've always heard sending a private message referred to as sending a DM (direct message)but on the twitter website it is called a message. I still haven't found where I can see replies and tweets from people that mention me. I think it is in the notifications panel but that also seems to have a great deal of other traffic in it. This means that I'm not really sure if I'm getting all my messages replies or re-tweets. I understand that the language people use to refer to twitter is a form of slang but it is so embedded in our culture today that I would almost find it useful to have a translation.
I'd like my readers to know that I am sharing these blog posts with development at both Google and Twitter and any other application I decide to add to this experiment. I will not allow them to censor what I post but I would like to give them an opportunity to respond to issues before I post. I frequently communicate with Google and I will post messages individually describing these problems in their preferred method of communication. The accessibility developer at twitter happens to be one of my followers and I have already messaged him with one or two things that with his help I was able to correct. Companies like these that put effort in to accessibility and respond to customers are critical for the improvement of accessibility in our future.
To summarize I think my first day with the apps is gone better than expected. I did have a fear that I would revert to Outlook or the basic HTML as soon as I hit an insurmountable barrier. However I did not do so. What I did was move away from the problem and come back at it later in a different way. I was only able to do this today because I took an official vacation day so did not have any pressing work to get done. I did this intentionally so that I would have time to adapt to these new interfaces before getting back to work in five days.

Have you ever wondered how your favorite guitarist or band gets "that sound"? Maybe you've looked up all their gear on the internet. Then maybe you've done the math and realized that their gear would cost you what you make in a 5 year period or more. Can you get "that sound" as a normal guy trying to put a rig together on a budget?
There is no way around it. You have to do the research to know what you want, what musical and technical terms mean, and what gear is right for you.
Let's say you're an acoustic guitar player who wants to branch out. You've had an old Stratocaster lying around and you've decided to play more. Start with something as simple as reading the Wikipedia page on Effects Pedals. Learn the difference.
After you've learned what kinds of pedals there are and what they do, you'll have to figure out what you need. Read up. If you like a certain style of music and you find that a lot of the bands you like use the same pedals (Boss DD-3 Delay or Line 6 DL4 Delay for examples) then that would be a starting place.
Let's say you love August Burns Red and Metallica before the Black album and love to jam at home to those riffs, but the church band you play with wants really bad to sound like David Crowder band. A "metal zone" or similar pedal will pretty much only get you one sound. A Tube Screamer into a tube amp that's cranked on the "hot" channel with it's Mids scooped will give you Metallica's Ride the Lightening, and then if you set the amp to clean it can give you 20 other bands from U2 to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Metallica, U2, SRV all use some version of the Ibanez tube screamer. 1 pedal 3 sounds is a much better value than a single genre pedal.
Most of us are on a budget. Putting a rig together will take time. If you can buy 1 pedal to do the job of two or three then you'll be better off 9 times out of 10.
Speaking of the Ibanez Tube Screamer. Everyone has one. Brad Paisley, the Edge, SRV. Another pedal that I constantly read about on pro guitar players boards is the Boss DD-3 (or DD-5,6, or 7) or the Boss RV-5 reverb. What I'm saying is that if you read gear forums or blogs or talk to the guy in the Guitar Center trying to upsell you, they'll for the best sound you really need this [insert more expensive pedal here]. The reality is that a stock TS9 and a lower end TC Electronics Reverb are my go to pedals.
I was talking to a guy who was asking me how to get the sound and tone from some Hillsong guitar player. I jokingly told him to just rip off the Edge 🙂 But then I looked at the Youtube clip he had sent. The reality was that for all the different pedals he had at his disposal 80% of what was going on was because he was playing through a nice Amp. U2 uses VOX AC-30's. Coldplay uses Fender Deville's. Brad Paisley uses Dr. Z. Buddy Miller uses Swart. Metallica used Marshalls and later Messa Boogie's. The point is that if you have an electric guitar and you have money you've saved up you would often be better off getting a good amp than a bunch of effects pedals.
It's worship all about Jesus and not about gear? Yes. but if you look at your pastor's office you'll probably find a lot of books (commentaries, maps, histories, dictionaries). Maybe he has a computer with bible software or an ipad with all his notes. These are all tools to preach the gospel and teach the bible. Musical gear are tools make music to praise Jesus, serve His church, and share the gospel or respond to Bible teaching in song. Just as a pastor needs to learn to put a message together, musical servants in the church need to learn how to put a song together. All for the Glory of Jesus.


We have talked about the overwhelming number of neon signs and billboards in Mong Kok of Hong Kong in the previous post. In fact, one can find hundreds and thousands of such signs along Nathan Road of Kowloon.
Named after one of Hong Kong's past Governors, Nathan Road stretches from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok. It is one of Hong Kong's must visit tourist attractions. Jordan, an area between Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei, has plenty of neon signs and billboards both on and off Nathan Road.
Jordan is home of the famous Temple Street Night Market and Yue Hwa Chinese Department Store. It also offer plenty of local restaurants, cafe and shops. Jordan itself is also a red light district, hence some of the neon signs and billboards in Jordan were erected by night clubs in the area. Having said that, there are still plenty of signs that are "standard commercials".
Some time ago, I came across the aftermath of an accident happened when workers were removing an old neon sign for a night club in Jordan. Local workers used traditional Hong Kong style bamboo scaffolding to remove the heavy light box. For some reason, the load was not even. The neon sign and its bamboo scaffolding ended up hanging over Nathan Road, which is one of Hong Kong's busiest street! It goes without saying that fireman came to the rescue and the matter was resolved with any major issues.
