BOOK: Science Museums in Transition: Cultures of Display in Nineteenth-Century Britain and America
Posted on September 3, 2017 by darwinsbulldog
This new edited volume will surely interest those interested in the intersection of museums and the history of science. While the topics of Darwin and evolution are only briefly mentioned, there's enough natural history to warrant checking this book out.

Publisher's description The nineteenth century witnessed a dramatic shift in the display and dissemination of natural knowledge across Britain and America, from private collections of miscellaneous artifacts and objects to public exhibitions and state-sponsored museums. The science museum as we know it—an institution of expert knowledge built to inform a lay public—was still very much in formation during this dynamic period. Science Museums in Transition provides a nuanced, comparative study of the diverse places and spaces in which science was displayed at a time when science and spectacle were still deeply intertwined; when leading naturalists, curators, and popular showmen were debating both how to display their knowledge and how and whether they should profit from scientific work; and when ideals of nationalism, class politics, and democracy were permeating the museum's walls. Contributors examine a constellation of people, spaces, display practices, experiences, and politics that worked not only to define the museum, but to shape public science and scientific knowledge. Taken together, the chapters in this volume span the Atlantic, exploring private and public museums, short and long-term exhibitions, and museums built for entertainment, education, and research, and in turn raise a host of important questions, about expertise, and about who speaks for nature and for history.

This first one is not an article, but a dissertation:
The ministry of chance: British Romanticism, Darwinian evolutionary theory & the aleatory
by Burkett, Andrew, Ph.D., Duke University, 2008, 319 pages; AAT 3346753
Abstract The Ministry of Chance proposes that Charles Darwin's emergent understanding and depiction of organic variation must be seen in direct and significant continuity with Romantic representations of the aleatory – that is, those forms, processes, and phenomena that are understood as governed by the operations of chance. Romantic literature murmurs quietly but continuously about the unexpected, the accidental, and the desultory. Moreover, although the concept of the aleatory has been largely overlooked by Romanticist critique, Romantic-era texts including William Wordsworth's The Prelude (1799, 1805, 1850) and Percy Bysshe Shelley's Queen Mab (1813), Mont Blanc (1817), and Prometheus Unbound (1820) meditate often on chance and, in so doing, reveal that Romantic literature is not only topically preoccupied with chance but that it is also structurally dependent on the aleatory. The transition from first- to second-generation Romanticism is characterized, I suggest, by a gradual change in the way in which these poets envision causality, and these two historical moments are each the topic of a subsequent chapter of this project. Furthermore, this study aligns Darwin's conception and representation of evolution with this shift in Romanticism. Driven by complex plots encrypted in minute and variational organic forms, Darwinian evolutionary theory is similarly founded upon chance, both formally and conceptually. In the years leading up to the publication of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859), Darwin becomes increasingly fascinated with the aleatory. Moving beyond his analyses of island populations, Darwin begins investigating the role of chance in the dispersion of continental floral populations as examined in his "Botanical Arithmetic" drafts, a set of largely unpublished documents held at the University of Cambridge's "Charles Darwin Archive." My project puts this Romantic poetry and Darwinian science into conversation by drawing upon the work of three critical and theoretical fields: Science Studies, the history and philosophy of biology, and Romantic criticism and theory. Such a cross-disciplinary approach to the aleatory in these narratives helps to illuminate the ways that British Romanticism and Darwinian evolutionary theory together "cohabit" a nineteenth- century paradigm change in reconceptions of chance and causality.

Vivisecting Major: A Victorian Gentleman Scientist Defends Animal Experimentation, 1876–1885
Rob Boddice
Abstract Through an investigation of the public, professional, and private life of the Darwinian disciple George John Romanes, this essay seeks a better understanding of the scientific motivations for defending the practice of vivisection at the height of the controversy in late Victorian Britain. Setting aside a historiography that has tended to focus on the arguments of antivivisectionists, it reconstructs the viewpoint of the scientific community through an examination of Romanes's work to help orchestrate the defense of animal experimentation. By embedding his life in three complicatedly overlapping networks—the world of print, interpersonal communications among an increasingly professionalized body of scientific men, and the intimacies of private life—the essay uses Romanes as a lens with which to focus the physiological apprehension of the antivivisection movement. It is a story of reputation, self‐interest, and affection.

The Pitt-Rivers Collection from 1850-2011
Alison Petch
Abstract This paper examines the history of one man's engagement with one of the most dominant intellectual ideas of the second half of the nineteenth century—evolution—and the way this was given physical form in the display of his collections up to 1884. It will also discuss the subsequent changes wrought to his work by his museum descendants at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. The collection does not contain any considerable number of unique specimens, and has been collected during upwards of twenty years, not for the purpose of surprising any one, either by the beauty or value of the objects exhibited, but solely with a view to instruction. For this purpose ordinary and typical specimens, rather than rare objects, have been selected and arranged in sequence, so as to trace, as far as practicable, the succession of ideas by which the minds of men in a primitive condition of culture have progressed from the simple to the complex, and from the homogeneous to the heterogeneous.
From Evolution: Education and Outreach:
Darwin's Busts and Public Evolutionary Outreach and Education
Sidney Horenstein
Abstract For the 1909 Darwin Centennial, the New York Academy of Sciences gave a large bronze bust of Charles Darwin to the American Museum of Natural History. Created by the well-known sculptor, William Couper, the bust was placed on its tall granite pedestal at the entrance at the newly designated exhibition hall, the Charles Darwin Hall of Invertebrate Zoology. Later that year, the American Museum ordered a bronze copy of the bust and presented it to Christ's College, in Cambridge, England at the British Darwinian celebration. In 1935, Victor Von Hagen requested a plaster copy of the bust for a monument he was erecting on San Cristóbal in the Galapagos Islands to celebrate Darwin's arrival in the Galapagos. During 1960, the American Museum of Natural History returned the original bronze bust to the New York Academy of Science, where it is now on display at its headquarters in New York City. To celebrate the Darwin bicentennial, the National Academy of Sciences recreated the bust in a computer-generated copy for display at their Washington, DC headquarters.
From Biology and Philosophy:
Empathy's purity, sympathy's complexities; De Waal, Darwin and Adam Smith
Cor Weele
Abstract Frans de Waal's view that empathy is at the basis of morality directly seems to build on Darwin, who considered sympathy as the crucial instinct. Yet when we look closer, their understanding of the central social instinct differs considerably. De Waal sees our deeply ingrained tendency to sympathize (or rather: empathize) with others as the good side of our morally dualistic nature. For Darwin, sympathizing was not the whole story of the "workings of sympathy"; the (selfish) need to receive sympathy played just as central a role in the complex roads from sympathy to morality. Darwin's understanding of sympathy stems from Adam Smith, who argued that the presence of morally impure motives should not be a reason for cynicism about morality. I suggest that De Waal's approach could benefit from a more thorough alignment with the analysis of the workings of sympathy in the work of Darwin and Adam Smith.

An Inordinate Fondness #13
Ready for some beetle blogging? February is an appropriate month for The Dispersal of Darwin to host An Inordinate Fondness, for each February supporters of science and reason celebrate the birth of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) on the 12th. This year, he turned 202. Learn more about Darwin Day, and become a Friend of Charles Darwin, too. I specifically requested posts for AIF relating to Darwin and beetles or other figures in the history of science who worked on beetles. While that call for specific posts was largely unanswered, there are plenty of beetles on blogs to enjoy, and I'll share some Darwin-related images from Flickr!
From the exhibit Since Darwin: The Evolution of Evolution at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum
Dave Hubble's ecology spot – Rhinoceros Beetles in Britain? Well, yes and no…: "Last night, over a vodka or two, a Russian friend of mine asked me whether we had Rhinoceros Beetles in Britain – we got there after chatting about how his small daughter was interested in bugs. My answer was along the lines of 'no, but…' and shows how the use of non-scientific (vernacular) names can be problematic i.e. it all depends what you mean by 'rhinoceros beetle'."
The Dispersal of Darwin – "Captured by C. Darwin, Esq": "Darwin worked tirelessly in his home outside of London. Down House became a "country house" laboratory for his scientific endeavors, and he utilized many areas of the house and its grounds for his experiments. Yet while he worked away on his 'one long argument,' all he really wanted to do was get outside. To the entomologist John Lubbock, also Darwin's neighbor, he wrote in 1854: 'I do not know whether you care about Beetles, but for the chance I send this in a Bottle, which, I never remember having seen, though it is excessively rash to speak from a 26 year old remembrance. Whenever we meet you can tell me whether you know it.— … I feel like an old war-horse at the sound of the trumpet, when I read about the capturing of rare beetles— is not this a magnanimous simile for a decayed entomologist. It really almost makes me long to begin collecting again.'"
MObugs – Darkling Beetle: "Darkling beetles in the family Carabidae Tenebrionidaeare ( Thanks Ted for catching my faux pas) one of the most common beetles in the pet trade. These larger beetles are called Zophobas morio and the larvae are called Superworms. They are native to Central and South America, but made their way into the United States because of their large size and easy to rear nature."
Old book plus beetle specimen
Beetles in the Bush – Featured Guest Photo – Dromica kolbei: "Although I have not collected this genus myself, I recognized it instantly as a member of such based on specimens and images I have seen. Carabidae of the World contains fine images of a number of species in this genus, of which Dromica kolbei (W. Horn, 1897) seems to be a pretty good match. However, more than 170 species are currently included in the genus, and while a modern revision is in progress (Schüle and Werner 2001; Schüle 2004, 2007), the bulk of the genus still remains to be treated. As a result, this really should be considered as just a provisional ID."
Beetles in the Bush – Recent literature – The Coleopterists Bulletin: "I returned to the office this week after spending two weeks in Brazil to find the December 2010 of The Coleopterists Bulletin in my inbox. I don't think there is another journal that I look forward to more eagerly than this one (with the possible exception of CICINDELA) – with each issue, I know that regardless of whether it contains any papers in my priority groups of interest (jewel beetles, longhorned beetles, and tiger beetles), it will nevertheless contain well-written articles presenting results of high-quality research on nothing but beetles – pure elytral ecstasy!"

Beetles in the Bush – Brazil Bugs #3 – Gorgulho Enorme!: "The second night at the hotel on the outskirts of Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil), I found this enormous weevil laying on the ground underneath some windows. It was dead but completely relaxed and in perfect shape. I wondered if it had been attracted to lights in the window the previous evening and flown there as its "last hurrah." This beast of a weevil – measuring a good 30mm from the tip of the snout to the apex of the elytra – immediately brought to my mind giant palm weevils of the genus Rhynchophorus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)."
MYRMECOS – Friday Beetle Blogging: Army Ant Associates: "Last year army ant guru Carl Rettenmeyer posthumously published a paper documenting the tremendous diversity of animals associated with Eciton burchellii. Over 500, in fact. Eciton burchellii has a larger known entourage than any other species of animal. Although Eciton's associates are the best documented, all army ant species have them. Ant colonies represent a tremendous concentration of resources, and animals that have figured out how to subvert the ants' communication systems gain access to rich stores of food."
Skepchick – Shellac: it's a bug AND a feature!: "For some reason, both Cochineal and Lac scales are often reported as beetles. I've seen this mistake made on the Straight Dope, among other places. Scale insects don't undergo complete metamorphosis as a beetle would, so they don't have larvae and pupae. In fact, scales have their own special freaky system of growth and reproduction in which the females loose their legs and turn into a sort of tiny insect Jabba the Hutt, and even tinier males fertilize them and die."

MYRMECOS – Friday Beetle Blogging: Agra: "Agra is a tree-dwelling predator found from Texas south to Argentina. It belongs to the family Carabidae, the ground beetles, which is unfortunate as most Agra are canopy species found nowhere near the ground… I photographed this handsome specimen at the Maquipucuna cloud forest reserve on Ecuador's western Andean slopes."
Ecotrope – How bark beetles are pitting the U.S. vs. Canada: "The bark-eating beetles have been ravaging forests in British Columbia – with tens of millions of forestland acres laid to waste. Scientists worry that global warming will continue to fuel beetle outbreaks by keeping winter temperatures just high enough to allow the beetles to survive the winter and reproduce, where in the past severe cold would have killed them off. At issue is how the BC government and timber industry have handled the damaged trees – and the not-so damaged ones – on public lands." (See a related video from Oregon Public Broadcasting.)
LabSpaces – 2 new species of 'leaping' beetles discovered: "Only five species of these so-called 'flea' beetles, out of a global total of 60, had been found to date in New Caledonia, in the western Pacific. A three-year study has now enabled Spanish researchers to discover two new herbivorous beetles – Arsipoda geographica and Arsipoda rostrata. These new beetles hold a secret – they feed on plants that the scientists have still not found on the archipelago."

Catalogue of Organisms – Ground Beetles for Today: "The subject of today's post is a group of ground beetles (Carabidae) that has been treated in the past as the subfamily Zuphiinae, but seems to now be more commonly treated as a supertribe Zuphiitae within the Harpalinae. Whatever their appropriate formal name, the zuphiites are distinguished by a relatively long and thick scape (the first major segment of the antennae) and spination on the first stylomere of the female's ovipositor; the clade is also supported by molecular data."
Kele's Science Blog – Solving the "adaptive recursion" in Jamaican click beetles (I) & The genetics and phenotypes of the Jamaican click beetle (Adaptive Recursion II): "In my last post I started a new short series on some biologists' attempts to solve what they call an "adaptive recursion" or in other words, to know the full story of a trait from the bottom level of the gene to the top levels of ecology and differential fitness. Ecological descriptions frequently become "just-so stories" – claims of adaptations and how they arose but with little evidence. All levels of detail should be known before any such arguments can be proclaimed and this is exactly what Uwe Stolz, Jeffrey Feder, and Sebastian Velez, and others are attempting to do with the bioluminescence of Jamaican click beetles."
Beetles in the Bush – Calm waters, frenzied beetles: "Lazy waters are the domain of whirligig beetles (family Gyrinidae). We encountered this 'raft' of beetles in a sheltered pool near the shore of the North Fork River while hiking the Ozark Trail last October. These frenzied little beetles live almost exclusively on the surface of the water, where they feed on organisms or scavenge debris in their famously and erratically conspicuous aggregations. Such behavior might make them seem vulnerable to predation, but in actuality the reverse is true. Beetles in rafts benefit from the increased number of eyes that can better scan the environment for potential threats than can individual beetles (Vulinec and Miller 1989), and the larger the raft the more efficiently this occurs."
Page from The Curious Mind of Young Darwin (see: http://bit.ly/gqKur9)
Beetles in the Bush – Diversity in Tiger Beetle Larval Burrows: "To the uninitiated, tiger beetle burrows might seem nothing more than a simple hole in the ground – anything could have made it. However, with experience one becomes able to distinguish tiger beetle larval burrows almost instantly from burrows made by other ground-burrowing organisms. The most common type of burrow is recognized by a combination of characters – almost perfectly circular except for a slight flattening on one side that gives the burrow a faint D-shape, and with the edge smoothly beveled. This is your classic tiger beetle burrow and, for most U.S. species of Cicindela and related genera, averages ~5-6mm in diameter for 3rd instar larvae (tiger beetle burrows are most often observed at 3rd instar, since it is this final instar in which the larva spends the majority of its time and the burrow becomes most noticable)."
LabSpaces – Ginger is key ingredient in recipe for conserving stag beetles: "The humble ginger root could be the key to conserving the UK's largest and most spectacular terrestrial beetle – the stag beetle. Ecologists from Royal Holloway, University of London and the University of York have developed a series of new methods to monitor stag beetle numbers – including ginger lures to trap adult beetles and tiny microphones to detect sounds made by the larvae in their underground nests. Conservation efforts have been hampered until now because ecologists lacked a reliable way of monitoring stag beetle numbers."
Beetles in the Bush – "All the better to see you with, my dear!": "Cicindela formosa (the big sand tiger beetle) is a not uncommon species that occurs across much of North America east of the Rocky Mountains in deep, dry, open sand habitats. It is absent in Appalachia and much of the Interior Highlands, understandable given the rarity of deep sand habitats on these elevated landforms; however, its absence across much of the southeastern coastal plain as well as south and west Texas, despite the widespread presence of apparently suitable habitat, is not easily explained."
Page from Darwin's 1871 The Descent of Man (see: http://bit.ly/ehg3qE)
Bug Eric –Merchant Grain Beetle: "Even entomologists are not immune to pest insects in their homes. We are just a little more fascinated than we are revolted. So, when I found a tiny beetle crawling on the bathroom counter of my Tucson apartment on October 20, 2010, I naturally wanted to know more about it. I thought I had a good idea of its identity, but I was wrong about the species."
Fall to Climb – Forgotten Photo Friday: Otiorhynchus ligustici – Alfalfa Snout Beetle: "Native to Europe, accidentally introduced to North America in the late 1800′s, declared a pest in New York in 1933, and spread to to Canada in the mid 60′s. It has only been detected in a few towns in eastern Ontario. It is supremely pesty to alfalfa plants everywhere. But, although it is pesty, it is a VERY BIG AND AWESOMELY SCALY BEETLE! And, since it is a Curculionid, it looks like Gonzo. They all do. So I love it, just a little bit."
What's Bugging You? – A Rare Beetle New to Virginia: "My insect survey at the VCU Rice Center continues to reveal species that are rarely collected and/or newly recorded for the Commonwealth of Virginia. While sorting through dozens of trap samples containing thousands of insects, I recently discovered three specimens of a rarely collected false click beetle (Eucnemidae), Xylophilus crassicornis. This collection represents the first records for the genus and species in Virginia."
Display for University of Cambridge's 800th anniversary
cicindela – Ellipsoptera marginata: "One of the rather unique tiger beetles occurring in Virginia is Ellipsoptera marginata. I photographed this species back in late June of 2009 at Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve where I was assisting in a survey for Habroscelimorpha dorsalis dorsalis."
The Atavism – Sunday Spinelessness – Vanuatu scarab beetles: "As promised, it's time to add a few tropical invertebrates to the mix of more temperate bugs I usually talk about here. Let's start by redressing a bit of an imbalance in these Sunday Spinelessness posts. Up until now I've only written two posts about beetles, which something of an under-representation since about a quarter of all described species are beetles. I see plenty of beetles around our garden and in my travels around Dunedin, but few of them are large enough, or sufficiently cooperative, for me to get decent photographs. I had no such problem in Vanuatu."
The Atavism – Sunday Spinelessness – Hadda beetle: "Time for another tropical beetle from Vanuatu, and what could be more charming than a ladybird? Or its absurdy spikey larvae?"
Display at the natural history museum at the University of Kansas, Lawrence
Nature Closeups – Colorful Snout Beetle: "I really love the colors on this snout beetle. Check out the detail. The image is not quite as sharp as I'd like, but just look at all those little colorful scales." & Reddish Tortoise Beetles: "There were quite a few of these reddish tortoise beetles feeding on this banana plant." & Mating Snout Beetles: "These beetles are tiny. Each one is only a few millimeters long."
Dave Hubble's ecology spot – Cretaceous Crato creature!: "Last year, I was mooching around some fossil sites online and found some insects for sale. They were from an old collection and had originally been collected from the Crato Formation in Brazil. Many interesting specimens had already been sold, but among those remaining was a rather nice little beetle (according to the seller) around 12.5mm long excluding appendages. Such items are popular with collectors (including plenty with more money than me), but this one had been broken in half and neatly glued. So, still complete, but less popular with collectors and hence more affordable. Result! I bought it…"
The Sam Wells Bug Page – Phloeodes diabolicus: "Ironclad beetles are the tanks of the insect world. They are famous (or infamous) for walking away after being stepped on. There are even reports of species being run over by cars without apparent harm. To an entomologist, they are notorious for the challenge of getting an insect pin through their thick skin (cuticle). What usually happens is the first attempt bends the pin. The second attempt bruises the thumb and forefinger to the bone. And then with a combination of anger and grit (and with two hands gripping the shaft) the pin is forced through the reinforced exoskeleton. With luck it has gone through straight and without popping the legs off on the other side. Very often it doesn't – as verified by any number of oddly pinned specimens stuck to the bottom of unit trays in the museums of the world."
Young Darwin observes a beetle on his hand at the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal
cicindela – Tetracha virginica: "This toothy specimen is Tetracha virginica, a fairly large species (16-25mm), widespread in the eastern United States. This species is a deep oily metallic green; largely active at night when it nimbly forages for prey and is often attracted to lights. During the day it can be found taking shelter under miscellaneous ground cover."
And finally, for any biologists or naturalists out there who go in the field to collect beetles, take note. Here's a list of naturalists (Wall of the Dead) who have lost their lives while investigating nature. Of particular interest:
Bečvář, Stanislav (1938-1997), Czech entomologist, shot dead, age 59, by soldiers in Laos while collecting beetles. Here's a detailed account of the incident. His son of the same name, also an entomologist, was seriously wounded in the attack but survived and continues to do field work.
Brodsky, Otakar (19??- 1986), Czech coleopterist, died of a heart attack, age unknown, while collecting Cleridae beetles in a rainforest in Vietnam. He was reportedly seated under a tree with his collecting equipment in his hands, and his colleagues didn't immediately realize he was dead.
And there you have it, the 13th edition of An Inordinate Fondness. The next edition of AIF will be hosted at Wandering Weeta some time mid-March. Send your submissions directly to the host there (email), or through the submission form.

ARTICLE: Charles W. Peach and Darwin's barnacles
Posted on November 1, 2010 by darwinsbulldog
From the Journal of the History of Collections:
Charles W. Peach and Darwin's barnacles
Lyall I. Anderson and Mathew Lowe
Abstract The University Museum of Zoology (Cambridge) holds Charles Darwin's collection of microscope slide dissections prepared during his studies of living barnacles. This collection was assembled through an extensive network of museum contacts and amateur collectors. We examine in detail the role of one of these collectors, Charles W. Peach, a coastguard in the Customs Service. Detailed study of the slide collection reveals an internal chronology of manufacture against which timelines of Peach and Darwin's activities can be compared. Four distinct phases of slide fixative are recognized and subsequent alterations to Darwin's original collection can be demonstrated. The internal chronology also reveals that Darwin dissected and mounted barnacles as he received material, rather than working systematically through taxonomic groups. Aside from Peach, other suppliers of barnacles included Samuel Stutchbury, Joseph Hooker and Robert Damon.

Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Saurians: A Historical Perspective
The Geological Society, London has published a volume of papers on the history of dinosaur (or phylogenetically-related) paleontology, Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Saurians: A Historical Perspective, edited by R.T.J. Moody, E. Buffetaut, D. Naish (blog), and D.M. Martill:
The discovery of dinosaurs and other large extinct 'saurians'—a term under which the Victorians commonly lumped ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and their kin—makes exciting reading and has caught the attention of palaeontologists, historians of science and the general public alike. The papers in this collection go beyond the familiar tales about famous 'fossil hunters' and focus on relatively little-known episodes in the discovery and interpretation (from both a scientific and an artistic point of view) of dinosaurs and other inhabitants of the Mesozoic world. They cover a long time span, from the beginnings of 'modern' scientific palaeontology in the 1700s to the present, and deal with many parts of the world, from the Yorkshire coast to Central India, from Bavaria to the Sahara. The characters in these stories include professional palaeontologists and geologists (some of them well-known, others quite obscure), explorers, amateur fossil collectors, and artists, linked together by their interest in Mesozoic creatures.

Exhibit Review for "Darwin the Geologist" (Cambridge, UK)
Posted on April 25, 2010 by darwinsbulldog
Darwin the Geologist
Last summer, when I was viewing an exhibit about Darwin and geology at the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences in Cambridge, England, I did not think I would be reviewing it for the Journal of the History of Biology. But I have, and it is now up online:
Exhibit Review: Darwin the Geologist, The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England. Opened July 2009, Permanent. Curator: Francis Neary. Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Opened in 1904 in memory of the geologist Adam Sedgwick, and containing the collections Sedgwick and John Woodward had previously accumulated, the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences houses a vast collection of geological and paleontological specimens, including some collected by Darwin himself during the voyage of the HMS Beagle. The Sedgwick acts as a fitting locale, then, for an exhibit exploring Darwin and his geological work. Darwin the Geologist, a permanent exhibit opened in July 2009 to coincide with Cambridge's Darwin anniversary celebrations, evolved from a temporary exhibit at the museum that had been titled Charles Darwin – Becoming a Geologist and had been on display from September 2008 to June 2009.
Darwin the Geologist tells the story of Darwin's career as a geologist, displaying not only some of the 1,500 of Darwin's actual specimens that the Sedgwick holds, but also books, geological tools, maps, and even a pistol carried by Darwin on the Beagle. The exhibit is an exploration of the development of Darwin's ideas about the Earth and how they related to the development of his theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin is more commonly labeled as a naturalist, or biologist, because of his work on evolution, but as Sandra Herbert has convincingly shown in Charles Darwin, Geologist (Cornell University Press, 2005), he was a self-proclaimed geologist and pursued his interests in geology in many ways from the Beagle voyage (1831–1836) leading up to the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859. Geology, as an exhibit label attests, dominated Darwin's early scientific career, and his ''reputation as a scientist was built on his training as a geologist.''
Situated among the beautiful and tall glass and wooden display cases, Darwin the Geologist fills one end of the museum's two-winged gallery, replacing what used to be displays about the Holocene epoch. The exhibit displays are organized chronologically, beginning with Darwin's childhood fascination with collecting and into his education at Edinburgh, where Darwin was introduced to geology, and Cambridge, where Darwin met John Stevens Henslow and gained collecting and field-work experience on a geological field excursion to Wales with Adam Sedgwick. More displays are devoted to the Beagle voyage, as this afforded Darwin more opportunities to practice geology and to think about the forces that created the landscapes he visited. We learn about a raised coastline at Sa˜o Tiago in the Cape Verde Islands and the numerous fossils Darwin discovered, including the famous Megatherium; of the geology of the Andes and the formation of igneous rocks at the Galapagos Islands; and the growth of coral reefs in the Pacific. We learn about Syms Covington, Darwin's assistant during and after the voyage, and the many specialists to whom Darwin farmed out his geological specimens for identification: William Miller for minerals, Robert Brown for fossil plants, Alcide D'Orbigny for fossil shells, Richard Owen for fossil mammals, and William Clift for the fossil teeth of Megatherium. We are shown how Darwin became a member and later secretary of the Geological Society of London as a result of his geological work on the Beagle.
A label reflecting on Archibald Geikie's centenary celebration lecture in Cambridge (1909) [Charles Darwin as Geologist: The Rede Lecture, Given at the Darwin Centennial Commemoration on 24 June 1909 (Cambridge Library Collection – Life Sciences) ] about Darwin's geology—''Since 1909 Darwin's theory of evolution has played an increasingly important role in our understanding of life on Earth, while his geological theories have been largely forgotten''—segues between Darwin's own life and work and labels showing how more recent scientists have used Darwin's collections and ideas in their geological work. For example, geologist Lyall Anderson studies rocks from the Beagle collection to consider Darwin's collecting practices. Darwin received some specimens as gifts from other geologists, such as Andrew Smith. Through studying the rocks themselves, Anderson has been able to conclude that Darwin included in his collection specimens he did not collect himself. Similar research by Sally Gibson has helped to understand Darwin's geological route on the island of Santiago in the Galapagos. While the Beagle collection is of importance to scientists, the specimens can help to answer questions important to historians of science as well. Darwin the Geologist stresses this point. Anderson is quoted in a label: ''From a personal point of view I think my biggest surprise was that Darwin didn't collect everything himself. Maybe that's a misconception that the Darwin Industry has kept running.'' While Darwin is surely an important figure, lesser-known figures in the work brought Darwin his scientific fame.
Smaller displays between the larger glass cases emphasize other aspects of Darwin's geology. From the influences of Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Lyell to the letter of introduction inviting Darwin to join the Beagle, these displays flesh out the story and provide contextual information. Several consider various practices associated with geology, such as how to collect appropriate specimens, the use of field notebooks, and the analysis and interpretation of specimens, and how this work for Darwin resulted in various publications. Some of the smaller displays discuss Darwin's ''scientific failure'' in theorizing how the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy in Scotland were formed, how geology figured into On the Origin of Species, and how Darwin continued to study geological topics after the publication of Origin, most notably with earthworms and the formation of soil, the subject of his last book. Also included in the exhibit are a recreation of Darwin's cabin on the Beagle and an interactive globe showing the places where Darwin collected particular specimens. A touchscreen allows visitors to go behind the scenes of the exhibit, which is essentially a collection of the posts from the blog that accompanies Darwin the Geologist and is accessible at http://darwinthegeologist.org/.
The exhibit does a fine job of placing Darwin's work in the context of geological questions at the time. It does not address the ''Genesis and geology'' dispute in the nineteenth century beyond one label stating that ''Heated debate and controversy over science and religion captured the public imagination,'' nor is there a label stressing the importance of correspondence to scientific practice. These minor quibbles aside, Darwin the Geologist offers a wealth of interesting material in both the objects on display and the accompanying labels, and it does it in a rather small space. It is a well-organized exhibit, and includes a wonderful artistic tribute to Darwin. While a life-size bronze of a young Darwin, by Cambridge alum and zoologist-turned-artist Anthony Smith, now adorns a garden in Christ's College at Cambridge, a bronze bust also by Smith oversees Darwin the Geologist as if to suggest that Darwin himself is either the epitome of humankind (for Darwin is situated at the most recent end of the geological and paleontological timescale that is the Sedgwick Museum) or a typical specimen of humankind. The former runs the risk of claims of hagiography. The latter is more likely, as the exhibit suggests that scientific discovery follows from curiosity, and Darwin the Geologist surely expresses throughout to its visitors the act of scientific discovery. If nothing else, the statues help to emphasize that for much of the work that made Darwin a reputable scientist, he was an energetic young man eager to explore the world around him, not always the long-bearded sage of Downe.

NBA memo states that no national anthem protests are allowed
CLEVELAND, OH – JUNE 09: The players stand for the national anthem before the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in Game Four of the 2017 NBA Finals on June 9, 2017 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Sad Marvel fans react to no Infinity War trailer during Inhumans by Nick Tylwalk
The NBA sent a memo that reiterated the rule that all players and coaches must stand during the pregame playing of the United States national anthem.
Just one day after NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that he expects players to stand during the playing of the United States national anthem before each game due to a preexisting rule, NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum issued a memo to all 30 teams on Friday night reinforcing this rule.
The memo states the following:
"The league office will determine how to deal with any possible instance in which a player, coach, or trainer does not stand for the anthem…[Individual teams] do not have the discretion to waive [the rule]."
The memo also mentions that the NBA has the right to discipline players and coaches who do not adhere to this rule and instead still make the decision to sit or kneel during the playing of the anthem.
In the memo, Tatum also included the following in regard to how teams should address the current political climate in ways other than protesting the anthem:
"This could include a message of unity and how the team is committed to bringing the community together this season."
National anthem protests have really heated up and been in the headlines over this past week, and they have been on the radar in the sports world for over a year now since when Colin Kaepernick began protesting during the anthem during the 2016 NFL preseason.
The NBA is doing what it can to prevent the controversy that will most assuredly come about if players start protesting the national anthem. They are also attempting to prevent the boycotts by fans that would inevitably follow if players protest.
While some may claim that the NBA is shutting down the players' freedom of speech, which could become controversial in itself, with this rule, this is actually not true.
Why? Because what many people don't understand is that the First Amendment does not cover the rights of employees of private companies to speak against their employers, which is essentially what a national anthem protest is, especially given the fact that the NBA has made clear that there is a preexisting rule in place against such protests.
Do you think the NFL will introduce a rule to prevent players and coaches from protesting during the national anthem anytime soon?

(New York) - In an open letter to President Clinton, the Human Rights Watch Academic Freedom Committee calls on the President to speak out forcefully in support of both academic and political freedom during his planned visits to university campuses in China.
During his upcoming state visit, the President is scheduled to appear in a welcoming ceremony at Tiananmen Square and to deliver a major speech at Beijing University. Emphasizing that the President's presence at such locations will have "immense symbolic importance" for democracy advocates throughout China, the letter urges the President to seize the opportunity by publicly stressing the inseparable link between intellectual and political freedom, and by drawing attention to cases of Chinese academics currently in jail for expressing their views.
The letter was signed on behalf of the committee by Fang Lizhi, internationally prominent Chinese astrophysicist and dissident who now teaches in exile at the University of Arizona and who, in 1989, was first on the Chinese Ministry of Public Security's most wanted list, and by Jonathan Fanton, President of the New School for Social Research.
Countless Chinese scholars and students have lost their lives or seen their careers destroyed for their defense of democratic principles at Beijing University, from the student-led May 4 Movement of 1919 to the pro-democracy movement that ended with the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. "What President Clinton chooses to say during his Beijing University address will be an important test of whether `engagement' has any human rights underpinnings," said Human Rights Watch academic freedom specialist Joseph Saunders. "If you can't say what you believe on campus, where can you?" he added.

The US Government May Soon Approve The First Private Moon Mission
Small startup Moon Express wants to send equipment to the moon sometime next year.
Soon, the U.S. government may do something it's never done before: approve a private company to go to the moon.
People familiar with the situation told the Wall Street Journal the government is close to officially endorsing a mission for Moon Express, a relatively small private space startup.
Moon Express is aiming to send 20 pounds of equipment to the moon sometime next year on its MX-1 lander.
Federal approval is needed — and hard to get — because of the international treaties the U.S. has to maintain. Even for a private company, contamination of the moon, and possible contamination of the Earth from bringing material back from the moon, are still real concerns.
Moon Express' proposed mission may show the current state of American space exploration, though.
NASA claimed almost 4.5 percent of the entire federal budget in 1966, but by 2014 was only receiving 0.5 percent. And with the national debt rising, even more budget cuts have been proposed.
At the same time, space exploration for private companies has become much cheaper. The Wall Street Journal reports Moon Express projected six years ago that a moon mission would cost $50 million, but now thinks it will cost only half that.
Moon Express is also among the 16 privately funded teams competing for Google's Lunar XPrize. The first company to land a craft on the moon that can travel across its surface and send photos back to Earth will get $20 million.

Abu Dhabi Ports' general & bulk cargo volumes increase 19% in nine months of 2015
I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Abu Dhabi Ports' general & bulk cargo volumes increase 19% in nine months of 2015 and is located at https://www.adports.ae/abu-dhabi-ports-general-bulk-cargo-volumes-increase-19-in-nine-months-of-2015/.
ABU DHABI PORTS HOSTS BREAKBULK MIDDLE EAST 2015 AT ADNEC IN ABU DHABI
July and August general & bulk cargo volumes set record for highest volumes in two consecutive months ever handled by Abu Dhabi Ports
11.28 million tonnes general & bulk cargo in first three quarters of 2015 represent 19% increase from 9.49 million tonnes in same period in 2014
Abu Dhabi Ports―the master developer, operator and manager of ports and industrial zones in the emirate―handled 19% more general & bulk cargo in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The volumes increased to 11.28 million tonnes in the first three quarters of 2015 from 9.49 million tonnes in the same period last year.
This was announced at the first Annual Breakbulk Middle East Conference & Exhibition being hosted by Abu Dhabi Ports at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from October 25 to 28, 2015. The event themed "Projects Meet Logistics" brings together around 2000 (two thousand) logisticians from around the globe.
Abu Dhabi Ports set a record during the first three quarters of 2015 by handling the highest volumes of general & bulk cargo in two consecutive months―July and August. Combined volumes of around 2.86 million tonnes in these two months marked the highest volumes of general & bulk cargo ever managed by Abu Dhabi Ports.
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports, said: "Abu Dhabi Ports' increased general & bulk cargo volumes in the first three quarters of 2015 prove that our strategy to invest in innovative technologies, state-of-the-art infrastructure and customer focused services has paid off!"
"We are pleased to host the Breakbulk Middle East 2015 for the first time in Abu Dhabi. This is a great opportunity for industry players to learn new trends and developments in logistics and projects sectors," Al Shamisi said.
Zayed Port, the oldest commercial port in Abu Dhabi, handled the vast majority of steel imported and exported through the Emirate. Zayed Port also witnessed 13 per cent growth in general & bulk cargo volumes in the first nine months of this year compared to the same period in 2014.
New modern cranes and other equipment, and implementation of new technologies like Jade Master Terminal―a terminal operating system ―as part of an ongoing upgrade have helped Abu Dhabi Ports optimise its productivity across the ports. The surge in general & bulk cargo volumes across Abu Dhabi Ports indicates rising import and export activities related to industrial and infrastructure development projects in the Emirate.

The Like was an alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. Its final lineup consisted of Z Berg (vocals and guitar), Tennessee Thomas (drums), Laena Geronimo (bass), and Annie Monroe (organ). The band released three extended plays (EPs) and two studio albums.

History

Formation and early years
The Like were formed in September 2001 by Z Berg (vocals/guitar), Charlotte Froom (bass/vocals) and Tennessee Thomas (drums) at the ages of 15, 15 and 16, respectively. All three are daughters of music industry veterans; Berg's father is former Geffen Records A&R exec/record producer Tony Berg, Froom's father is producer Mitchell Froom and Thomas' father is Pete Thomas, longtime drummer for Elvis Costello. From childhood, Froom, Berg and Thomas were immersed in classic rock, and all three took piano lessons before teaching themselves their current instruments.

They formed when the parents of childhood friends Thomas and Froom learned that Berg had been writing songs and showed interest in forming a band. Froom began learning the bass two weeks before joining, and the three began working and writing together. Thomas's mother came up with the name in recognition of how often the girls used the word "like".

Over a period of three years, the band independently released three EPs (I Like The Like, ... and The Like, and Like It or Not), which they sold at shows and on their website. Their song "(So I'll Sit Here) Waiting" was featured on the soundtrack of the film Thirteen. The band later toured with Phantom Planet and Kings of Leon. In 2004, the Like signed to Geffen Records.

Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?
The Like released their first album, Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?, through Geffen on September 13, 2005. The album is a combination of reworked songs previously released on their independent EPs as well as new material. The reviews were generally positive. Krissi Murison of the NME had praise for such songs as "June Gloom" and "(So I'll Sit Here) Waiting", but criticized the "over-polished approach" of producer Wendy Melvoin.

The band performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2006 and at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London in June 2006. In September 2006, the Like supported Muse on a short string of tour dates in the U.S., before heading to Europe to support UK band Razorlight.

Lineup changes and Release Me
Berg and Thomas went to Brooklyn, New York to record the Like's second album. (Froom had recently left the band.) They worked with producer Mark Ronson, as well as Alex Greenwald and various members of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Departing from the sound of Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?, they were inspired by the music of classic girl groups, British invasion acts, and 1960s female songwriters. Greenwald played the bass guitar on all tracks.

On September 17, 2009, the band posted a message entitled "The Like 2.0" on their MySpace blog. The message announced a new lineup: founding members Berg and Thomas, plus new members Reni Lane and Laena Geronimo. This lineup toured with Arctic Monkeys in September and October 2009. Reni Lane has since left the band and been replaced by current band member Annie Monroe.

Downtown Records released the album, entitled Release Me, on June 15, 2010. USA Today called it a "vast improvement" over Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? Los Angeles magazine noted that the band "has gone retro-fab, with Farfisa organ, jangly Brit-pop guitar, and hand claps." Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote, "The tough girl group is hardly a new concept—ask Blondie or the Donnas—but done right, like this, it's irresistible."

The band starred in a short film commissioned by designer Zac Posen as a way to promote his Target fashion collection. The film shows the band hanging out in a hotel room and then performing the single "Fair Game". The film was directed by Gia Coppola (granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola). The Like also appeared as themselves in an October 2010 episode of the TV series 90210, and in issue 3 of The Li'l Depressed Boy comic book.

Hiatus
On May 25, 2011, the band posted the following message on its official Facebook page: "The Like have cancelled all their upcoming shows, and the band is currently on an indefinite hiatus. There is no further statement from the band at this time."

On October 20, 2013, without officially acknowledging the status of their hiatus, the band posted via Twitter that on October 25 they will be playing a show at the Liquid Room in Tokyo, Japan.

The most famous attraction on Grand Cayman is Stingray City — a collections of sandbars where you can snorkel and swim among friendly stingrays in their natural habitat. We wanted to see if it lived up the the hype, so we booked an excursion while in George Town on a recent Carnival Glory cruise to find out.
Stingray City is only accessible by boat, so our trip started with a short, scenic ride to the sandbars. Once there, we hopped into the three-foot-deep water with our guide to meet the locals. The area is home to more than 20 playful Southern Stingrays — who are given names like "Ray Charles," "Sugar Ray," and "Martha Ray" — that swim freely among their visitors, hoping to be fed snacks.
It may seem a little scary at first, as the stingrays swim right up to you and eat right out of your hand, but the animals really are quite sweet. The photo ops abound, too, with the guides assisting with poses and the rays swimming right into your camera lens.
Keep in mind this is a very popular excursion, especially when multiple cruise ships are in dock on the same day. There were multiple groups at the sandbars during our trip and the area did get crowded.
Stingray City excursions start around $40 per person, but the price as well as the length of the trip and age restrictions varies depending on the cruise line and tour operator. Passengers need to be at least five years old to go on Carnival's two-and-a-half-hour excursion, which costs $50 per person, while Royal Caribbean offers a similar trip for $49 with a minimum age of three years. Princess offers a longer, four-and-a-half-hour trip that also includes time on Seven Mile Beach and a visit to a turtle farm for $70 per person, with a minimum age of five years.
Watch our video above to get an inside look at a trip to Stingray City.

Ivory Layne Shines On Emotive And Masterful EP 'Confetti'
Rising Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ivory Layne is standing in a lane of her own. Exploring themes of personal growth, love, and mental health, her new EP Confetti is a powerful display of her rousing voice and strong songwriting.
The EP starts off strong with the powerful soul/pop tune "December." The poignant tune is an ode to letting go of things that have served their purpose in our lives. Whether a person, place, or thing, it's important to move on once we notice the eclipse upon us in order for us to grow. Following "December" is the chilling song "Lonely Hearts." It's a heart-breaking tune that cautions you about the hurt you'll face when met with rejection. Layne laments about willingly giving her heart up so easily, saying "I'm used to the risk, pouring all my love in" and ultimately beckons the listener to "hold on to your heart."
The title track "Confetti" is a steady ballad that puts Layne's emotions front and center. Her vocal performance is one of the most soul-crushing displays on the whole EP. You can hear her struggle with letting go of something that has hurt her as the background vocals echo "I don't think I'm ready." The final tune "God Save The Queen" is a much more lighthearted track. Poising itself as a feminist anthem, this tune is a true rallying cry meant to bring all the ladies together, declaring "we don't have to be members of a dying breed."
The EP brought out a lot of personal facets of Layne and tested her talents as a writer and human, saying:
"I began this EP having barely co-written, never been in a relationship, still new to Nashville, and with one academic trip abroad under my belt. I finished writing it last year in London, having visited so many times it felt like home, crafting songs about dates gone wrong for the right reasons and the beauty found in every season when you take the time to look. I'm still writing as I'm living, it's the nature of art itself, but the Confetti EP will always hold a special place as the diary of my early twenties, where I've been and where I want to go."
Tipped for stardom by the likes of Billboard, V Magazine and Live Nation's Ones To Watch, Layne's remarkable talent has garnered critical acclaim as well as attracting a wealth of stellar collaborators. In just a few years, she's worked with Grammy award-winning producer Ed Cash (Dolly Parton, Amy Grant) on her debut EP; collaborated with Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness and Needtobreathe; written for other artists alongside co-writes with some of Nashville's finest including Jimmy Robbins, Shane McAnally and Lori McKenna. Layne's sharpness in the writer's room has also landed her two global ad campaigns, one for prestigious jewellery house Swarovski and another for cable giant, HBO.

Info from Board September 2019
So here we are at the start of another season and hopefully you will have noticed the freshly painted area around the main entrance. This is down to President Robert and his team of volunteers over the summer.
What you will not see is a rather large piece of new kit called an Evaporator in the ice making plant. Midway through last season the Evaporator started to leak glycol. To replace it then would have required the ice plant to be switched off for a week so we kept it topped up until this July when it could be done with minimum disruption. The plant should have had a life of 20 to 30 years so for such a failure after just 9 years was not only disappointing but meant that the Board was faced with a very significant unbudgeted expenditure in excess of £20k.
That is money which we would have preferred to spend on more visible improvements and/or to avoid the increase in ice charges. The Board is very conscious of the need to keep the ice charges as reasonable as possible in order to encourage more curling.
Over the summer the ice rink has remained open with the income generated from skating covering our costs. Skating obviously cuts up the ice and is also softer than required for curling but Liam and his team were able to achieve reasonable curling ice to facilitate a number of corporate day's with Hendrick's Gin arranged by Scott. Well done to the ice staff, Scott and the coaches who came in to help out.
This coming season we will no longer be able to refer to the ice staff as ice men either with the appointment of Anna Friel part time seasonal. Anna is studying at Glasgow University and is working with us to help fund her studies. She joins Liam, Stefan and Tom.
The stones will be "dressed" for the new season by Mark Callan of Kay's who is also spending some time giving the team ice making training.
Our club presidents Isla and Robert are working hard along with the committee and the new card system is a step in the right direction to end the perennial issue over temporary memberships. Please support them in all their efforts.
If anyone has any issues which they wish to bring to the Board's attention please speak to any one of us. We are curlers too and we are all working for the benefit of everyone.
Unsurprisingly, it is apparent that most curlers are not aware of how Ayr ice rink is run. Back in the early 1970s, after the old rink in Beresford Terrace had been sold, there was no ice rink and the curlers of the day raised the funds through the issue of shares to purchase and convert the old dog racing track where we are today. That company was Ayrshire Curlers Ltd which is managed today by the Board of Directors - Liz Goldie (Chairman), James Galloway (Managing Director), George Hay (Company Secretary), Gemmill Jack, Jim Boswell, Andrew Kerr and joined at the AGM this year by Anne Kerr.
In order to obtain rates relief granted to sports clubs, Ayr CC was established and given a year to year lease. The club is primarily responsible for organising some although not all the competitions and for the bar and catering.
The Board is responsible for hiring the ice and office staff, the ice pads, ice allocations, RCCC competition bids, charges for skating and hockey as well as curling and for maintaining the plant and building fabric.
The Board and the Club share a common purpose in providing the best facilities possible and maintaining, if not growing, the number of curlers. The relationship between the Club and the Board has evolved over the years and, generally, works well with the Board able to take a longer term view than the Club which has a revolving President and committee. The Board are all volunteers and, for the avoidance of any doubt, none receive any renumeration ! They are, of course, required by law to act in the best interest of the shareholders but no dividend has been paid in recent times and an undertaking was given to Sport Scotland not to do so when that body match funded the replacement of the plant back in 2010.
The number of sheets of ice required by the curlers has been falling year on year. The costs of operating the ice rink are rising year on year and, just as an example, our electricity costs have just increased by £10k pa. Taking both these factors into account the Board looked to make savings which we were able to do by altering the session times. This enabled us to have one ice man instead of two on duty on nights with two evening sessions. However, the one man requires a longer period between the curling sessions as he has a wet cut to fit in on the small ice pad. We have managed to cut out most of the unpopular 9.30 sessions but we also tried to accommodate clubs' other requests and so we have a variety of ice times this coming season. We will see how it works out and will look again at the ice times next season, if necessary.
The finances of the ice rink are tight and frankly, without the skating and hockey it's unlikely that curling could survive. These other two disciplines now account for half the income.
Over the last few years the Board has invested in new stones and a new Ice Boss by way of interest free loans from the World Curling Federation which are paid back over a 5 year period. The Development Group assisted with the purchase of a new ice edger and these are all visible improvements. Not so obvious are the major repairs carried out to the roofs, new boilers, heating in the lounge and downstairs in the skaters' lounge and the replacement of corroded gas pipes. We have refurbished the girls' changing area and toilets and, this summer, also the gents' toilets downstairs. We have replaced half the barrier in the small rink, installed new doors at both the curlers' entrance and the main door and painted the lounge and office. On refurbishment works alone we spent £26k in 2016 and a further £19k this year. Fortunately, we were successful with grant applications to South Ayrshire Waste and Environment Trust which were submitted through Ayrshire Ice Sports Ltd.and these helped.
This company was set up on a not for profit basis in an attempt to secure charitable status. Unfortunately, our application to the charities regulator was rejected but we are still looking to pursue this as there are significant financial advantages in having charitable status.
The Board will continue to invest in improving the facility as and when funds permit. The ladies changing room and toilets are, we know, one area of concern but I can only repeat that funds are tight.
Each month a report from the Board is given to the Ayr CC committee and questions to the Board can be raised either through the committee or straight to any of the Directors detailed earlier.
Report from the Board September 2016
As you start the new season there are a few changes you will have noticed. Firstly, there is now a large barrier at the entrance to the car park. Please try and avoid hitting it as your car will come off worse ! Just before the start of the curling season we arrived one morning to find the car park being used by "travelling people". As anyone with any experience of having dealt with similar situations will tell you, it is extremely difficult to have these people removed but, thankfully, we managed, after having started legal proceedings, to move them on just in time for Opening Day. We would rather not have them back, hence the new barrier - all in all, money which we would have preferred to use elsewhere in the rink.
Secondly, the lounge has been redecorated and some new light fittings installed. We would have liked to replace the ceiling but even without that, hopefully, you will agree that the lounge is now bright and welcoming.
And finally, a cairn of curling stones has been erected at the car park entrance. These stones came from David Smith's house and are a fitting tribute to "The Sheriff".
Changes which you will probably not notice include the provision of heating to the skaters' lounge from the boiler located off the lounge and a new boiler downstairs to provide heating to the downstairs changing area and, specifically, hot water for the kitchen to avoid the costly immersion heater. The girls' toilets downstairs have also been completely refurbished which was long overdue and a new roof installed over the curlers' entrance to cure the water ingress which was becoming a feature of this area !
In addition, we have purchased two new measures, one of which is in use with the other being held in reserve for now to use during Royal Club competitions and we are awaiting delivery of an ice edger - as the name suggests, a piece of kit to cut a channel next to the barriers to avoid the ice banking when the pad is flooded.
As you will see, I hope, the Board has been active over the summer improving the facilities for all our users and these works all come with an associated cost. We have been fortunate to secure a significant grant from South Ayrshire Waste and Environment Trust and are also indebted to the Development Group for assistance towards the ice edger and an anonymous donor who contributed half the cost of the redecoration and the new measures. The Board would have liked to do more and will continue to invest in the facility when it is financially prudent to do so.
We had hoped to have Mark Callan from Kay's of Mauchline along before the start of the season to train ice man Stefan and to give Jim and Liam a refresher course but Mark was called away on Olympic duties. Mark however, was with us earlier in the summer to turn the stones which should give them more of a draw.
On a sadder note, the late summer also saw the passing of Charlie Otterson and Bobby Davidson. Charlie gave many years service to the ice rink and we will miss his knowledge of the plant and building. Bobby had not been with us all that long but was always willing and helpful. Stefan replaced Bobby when we became aware of his illness and was with us last season. Cameron McKinnon has joined us on a part time basis.
Previous Info from Board
The original ice rink in Ayr was sold for redevelopment in the early 1970s and the curlers of that time raised the funds themselves and through public subscription to buy the current site at Limekiln Road. The company formed was Ayrshire Curlers Plc and they converted what was a dog racing track into the ice rink as we know it today.
The current directors are well aware that the facilities require upgrading. The replacement of the ice plant a few years ago was achieved with support from SportScotland but the Board had to match fund this and, effectively, use up the reserves we had.
Today figure skating and ice hockey are financially essential to balance the books and without those sports it is highly unlikely the ice rink could survive.
Repairs are carried out in a prudent manner and, with the excellent support of sponsorship from the curlers and an exceptionally favourable financial arrangement between the World Curling Federation, RCCC and the Board, we have replaced all the stones and are also moving forward to conclude a similar deal for a new Ice Boss.
We would like to do more but it is an old building and there are a great many maintenance issues. The ice staff under Jim McInnes have made great strides to improve the quality of the ice and the Board have arranged for an ice makers course to be held in the Autumn of 2015 when Mark Callan of Kay's will be with our team for a whole week.
The Board are also responsible for running a number of curling competitions, not least of which is the Agricultural Bonspiel and we, obviously, work closely with Ayr Curling Club on any number of matters.
Because the ice rink was originally funded by shareholders there was a concern by SportScotland that any grant aid would find its way into shareholders' pockets. Although no dividend has been paid for many years and an undertaking was given that none would be paid, nevertheless the Board have formed a "not for profit" company, Ayrshire Ice Sports Ltd. It was hoped that this company would be able to achieve charitable status which would assist with future grant applications but this is currently proving difficult to achieve.
Ayrshire Curlers Plc moved from being a Plc (with the illusion that we were a company the size of British Gas) to a Ltd company in 2013 and the current directors are Mrs Liz Goldie who is the Chairman of the Board, James Galloway who is the Managing Director, George Hay, Company Secretary, Mrs Sheila Watson, Mr Gemmill Jack, Mr Jim Boswell and Mr Andrew Kerr.
Ayrshire Ice Sports Ltd has three directors from the Board of Ayrshire Curlers Ltd in Mr Andrew Kerr, Mr James Galloway and Mr George Hay.. They are joined by three curling representatives in Mr Billy Howat, Mr Euan Lawrence and Mrs Anne Anderson. It is envisaged, in the fullness of time, that representatives from the figure skating and ice hockey would be invited to join.
All the members of the Boards in both companies are always open to suggestions and advice !


Zombie 222 Electric '68 Mustang featured in Translogic.
See that little green spot? That's the Zombie 222 we covered awhile back. See the Tesla Model S P85D? Nope.
In the blink of an eye, the Zombie 222 electric Ford Mustang is out in front of V8-powered competitors and it never looks back.


It's a work in progress, but we'll have stuff up on a continual basis.
I got this cool bruise on Estrella Friday.
Spear shot, right to the face grill!
overrun by hoplites and some stray spearmen. Went "air swimming" before I actually hit the ground. If there were a war point for best war bruise that can be shown off without removing any clothing, I'd have won it! Good thing my director at work is a SCAdian! He didn't even blink my first day back at work. Entire visible part of the bruise was gone after three days working in the hyperbaric chamber at my job.


Group Dynamics, the Journal of the Society for Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy, announces two new article types, to begin publishing in 2019: Evidence-Based Case Studies and Practice Reviews. Group practice for these calls is defined broadly to include therapy groups, teams, organizations, and other group contexts. The editor has issued an open call for submissions for both article types.
The goal of the Evidenced-Based Case Studies will be to integrate verbatim case material with standardized empirical measures of process and outcome evaluated at different times during the life of the group, team or organization. That is, authors should describe vignettes highlighting key interventions, processes, and mechanisms regarding their specific approach in the context of empirical scales.
Examples and detailed guidelines for both article types can be found on the journal webpage, www.apa.org/pubs/journals/gdn. Authors who are interested in submitting either article type are encouraged to contact the editor.

On 10 August, I chaired the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council meeting in Sydney. My state and territory counterparts and I advanced important issues around transmission and the integrated system plan, cybersecurity for our energy infrastructure, new hydrogen opportunities and the implementation of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) landmark report into retail electricity pricing.
The states and territories also agreed to release the exposure draft of the National Electricity Law amendments that will implement the National Energy Guarantee and particularly the reliability guarantee which is essential to shoring up the security of the National Electricity Market.

When i use to patch it ask me
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- src/bacula.h       2015-08-13 15:52:24 +0200
|+++ src/bacula.h       2015-10-05 19:21:09 +0200

I want automatically patch src/bacula.h  without ask
how to do?
I use
patch -p1 < file.patch

A: Your command patch -p1 file.patch looks for the filenames in the patch file. The -p1 strips everything in the filenames up to the first /; in your case this is the leading src/. The command therefore expects to find bacula.h in your current directory.
Incidentally, there is something very strange about the filenames you have provided as your example. They don't match, and the filenames in the patch file that should not match, do so. I would strongly recommend that that next time you copy and paste rather than free-typing.

A: Solution found,you must include the complete path
see example
WRONG!
--- src/bacula.h   2015-08-13 15:52:24 +0200
+++ src/bacula.h   2015-10-05 19:21:09 +0200

CORRECT!
--- bacula-7.0.5/src/bacula.h   2015-08-13 15:52:24 +0200
+++ bacula-7.0.5/src/bacula.h   2015-10-05 19:21:09 +0200

With the first incomplete path the patch works,but ask everytime to specify
the path of bacula.h,with the second correct,patch -p1 < patchfile works fine
and didn't ask for path
