The Ordered Universe project now hosts a new resource, an edition and translation (with apparatus) of the Compotus ecclesiasticus by the late Jennifer Moreton, together with an introductory essay by Philipp Nothaff (All Souls College, University of Oxford). The Compotus ecclesiasticus is an early thirteenth century example of the medieval treatises on time and calendrical calculation, and the myriad of other subjects that medieval authors touched on in such studies. As Philipp's introduction points out computus, the science of time, was an essential element in the organisation of Christian life and its religious ordering. The calculation of Easter and the setting out of the ecclesiastical calendar made computistical knowledge sought after, necessary, and argued over throughout the Middle Ages. For a comprehensive overview see Nothaff, Dating the Passion: the Life of Jesus and the Emergence of Scientific Chronology (200-1600), Brill, 2012.
Works of computus inhabited an encyclopaedic space, often consisting of compendia of knowledge on time, applied mathematics, the body of the universe, human history, medicine and theological reflection. One such, which the Ordered Universe team has been examining is the manuscript known now as Durham Cathedral Library Hunter 100 (more on that soon). Since the motions of the sun and moon lay at the heart of computus, changes in astronomy had significant effects on computus treatises. Western computistical learning responded, in this way, to new translations of ancient and medieval Islamic works on the subject from the later eleventh century. The twelfth century in particular witnessed a flourishing of the genre with a series of collections putting forward different emphases on how time was to be calculated, honouring and questioning earlier authorities, such as Bede, as well as those of more recent acquaintance.
Within these twelfth century developments individuals and communities in the west of England bounded by the River Severn and the River Wye made notable contributions. From Walcher, Prior of Malvern active in the first half of the century to Roger of Hereford in the second, scholars of this region showed particular interest in astronomy, astrology and computus. It was here, at Hereford, at the end of the twelfth century, that Grosseteste enters the historical record with some certainty, as a master within the household of Bishop William de Vere. The writings of Simon du Fresne, in praise of liberal arts, as well as those of Roger of Hereford, are an important background to Grosseteste's own exploration of the mathematical arts, natural phenomena, and computus.
While the Compotus ecclesiasticus was not, as Moreton convincingly showed, from Grosseteste's pen, the text known as the Comptus Correctorius was (ed. R. Steele, Opera hactenus inedita Rogeri Baconis (Oxford 1909–40), 6. 212–67). As Nothaff"s introductory sets out, so expert was Grosseteste in this field (and those who know the mathematical cast of his mind will find this no surprise at all), that later scribes attributed the Compotus ecclesiasticus to the Lincolnite. The proper identification of a number of treatise identified in the medieval period, and by modern commentators (from Thomson to Southern), was in large part the work of Moreton, until her, premature, death in 2005.
The text available here is the product of careful editing by Immo Warntjes, Charles Burnett and Philipp Nothaff, who decided that it would be best to publish Moreton's research online. A new edition of the Compotus ecclesiasticus is being prepared by Alfred Lohr, but Moreton's version stands not only for the interim, but as a substantial resource in its own right. The translation, as well as the edition, makes available and accessible an exemplary text for the genre to a wider audience. This will be a valuable teaching aid, as well as a treasure-trove for those interested in the intricacies of medieval learning. It is interesting, for example, to compare to the much fuller presentation of an earlier computus collection, St John's College, Oxford, MS 17, by Faith Wallis, The Calendar and the Cloister. It is down to Faith's encouragement too, that the Compotus ecclesiasticus, comes to be hosted by the Ordered Universe. We hope that it will be used and enjoyed, as well as helping to construct a little more about Grosseteste's educational and intellectual environment in his formative scholarly years.

The Appalachian Trail Will Remain Accessible During Dec. 2018 Government Shutdown
"As with the government shutdowns earlier this year, the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) will remain accessible to the public across the approximately 700 miles managed by the National Park Service (NPS) and over 800 miles managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). A.T. visitors will be able to access and hike on the Trail itself, but no visitor services, maintenance or other management activities will be conducted, and emergency and rescue services will be limited. Accessing NPS and USFS property during this federal government shutdown will be at the visitor's sole risk.
All NPS and USFS volunteer programs are once again suspended. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) will not be able to engage with volunteers in activities on the Trail, Trail facilities or Trail lands. As another busy hiking season draws near, this will severely impact our ability to adequately maintain the A.T., as our volunteers provide the majority of repairs and upgrades to the 2,192-mile footpath and its surrounding lands.
This shutdown reminds Americans once again of the value of our National Parks and the negative effects even short periods of downtime can have on our abilities to maintain them. We urge Congress and the federal government to work together in the best interests of the country and to re-open full access to the A.T. and all of its facilities promptly.
For more information on the shutdown's effects on the A.T., visit appalachiantrail.org/updates."
Please note the following regarding flooding in Harpers Ferry:
As of 3pm on 12/16/18, the footbridge over the Potomac River, connecting Lower Town Harpers Ferry to Maryland, is closed due to flooding on the towpath. This closure impacts access to the Appalachian Trail, the C&O Canal towpath, and Maryland Heights.
As you can see from the second photo, the water is already beginning to cover the towpath.
Also note that all of the restrooms in the national park buildings in Lower Town are closed due to the flood waters impacting a nearby pump station.
If you have any questions about these closures, feel free to comment here and we'll address them as soon as we can.
We also suggest you check out this National Weather Service link to see updates on the river levels, predicted crest, and impacts of certain levels: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=hfew2&wfo=lwx

Notice: Temporary Relocation of a Portion of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in Shenandoah National Park
About one mile of the A.T. has been temporarily relocated in the south district of the park due to construction in a power line right-of-way (see map). Starting approximately 1/4 mile north of the Calf Mountain Shelter Trail, the detour crosses the right-of-way and follows private roads (Woods Gap and Jarman Gap Roads) until it rejoins the A.T. on Jarman Gap Road. There are signs marking the detour in several places along its length. Hikers are urged to stay on the detour as a portion of it crosses private property. Hikers may be delayed for up to 15 minutes at both boundaries of the right-of-way corridor for safety reasons during construction activities. The detour is expected to be in place until May of 2019.
On November 10, 1978, Congress created the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. At the time, it was barely even a line on a map. Today, the trail is over 95% complete, there are hundreds of volunteers who dedicate their time to improving it year after year, and thousands of people like YOU who enjoy, support, and protect it!
Happy 40th birthday, CDT!
High Five! $5 can go a long way! And now, more than ever, we need the escape of the Trail to find joy and a few minutes of peace.
Give a high five to the #AppalachianTrail! Your small gift of $5 is a huge help when it comes to supplying our volunteers, removing downed trees, emptying privies (eww), and keeping 2,190 miles of adventure beautiful and accessible for everyone to love and enjoy! #ProtectYourTrail

Wise words of wisdom from Jonathan Maclean... Too funny to not share!
"Seeing as I completed my first real hiking trip here are a few things I learned about hiking
1. Going uphill sucks, especially when it's all uphill for 2.5 miles. That's not the worse part, its coming back down when your legs already feel like jello
2. Pack weight does matter. Try going uphill for 5 miles with a 50lb pack and let me know how that goes. Mine wasnt too bad I'd say I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 pounds trail weight, and it still sucked a little bit.
3. "Trail legs" actually are a thing you want. Try going up and down mountains all day being out of shape and let me know how that goes.
4. Trekking poles help....A lot. Not just for hiking up and down hills but makes for a useful beating stick for snakes and when some dumbass can't control their stupid dog (ever heard of a leash *BEEP*head?)
5. Your 24 hour deodorant will last about 20 minutes on a hike. Theres seriously no point of putting it on......it won't last no matter how good it claims to be.
6. Being properly fitted for your pack and trail runners makes a world of difference. I should have known better with my shoes but I was fortunate all I had was sore feet.
7. How you pack your pack also matters. Try loading your pack with the heavier stuff at the top and it will literally become an anchor......a 25 pound anchor
8. It's not a race. No need to try and kill yourself going up the side of a mountain, you'll just die tired.
9. It is possible to get blisters or chaffing in places you didn't know were possible. Body Glide......use it......liberally. And no deodorant isn't a suitable substitute.
10. Wear proper hiking socks. I saw a guy that wore cross trainers that were snug (typically you want your shoes 1.5-2 sizes bigger. I'm actually 2 sizes bigger) and wore gym socks and his entire foot was a giant bleeding blister.
11. It sucks sometimes but the views you get are amazing and once you complete your first trip its like a drug, I'm already planning another hiking trip on the Appalachian trail for late August/Early September"
We all agree with ya Jonathan! Happy trails :)
Rhody's rhodies came by last night with some trail magic including Chipotle burritos and beer! I know the hikers enjoyed it! Rhody (their daughter) is 135 miles into her sobo hike right now... See you soon Rhody ;)
UPDATE 6/5/18 - The Potomac River footbridge has officially reopened, though hikers should be cautious of flood damage in the surrounding area. Visit appalachiantrail.org/updates for more information.
Heads up, #AppalachianTrail hikers: the Potomac footbridge in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park has been closed until further notice due to flooding, with sections of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park Towpath underwater. Keeptryst Road in Maryland is also closed, making 4 miles of the A.T. currently inaccessible. For more info, visit appalachiantrail.org/updates

Had the Cadillac Crew here this weekend doing so much work I lost track of it all. They took care of many many blowdowns up on the trail from the recent storms, replaced screens on the porch, deep cleaned the house, took naps, worked on finishing a bathroom, fell a dead tree, split wood, finished hooking everything up to the septic (yay), cooked some great meals and trimmed some bushes! You guys rock and many many thanks! See you in October :)
Earlier this week, the body of a missing Appalachian Trail hiker was found after he attempted to ford the Kennebec River in Maine. Our sincere condolences go out to the hiker's family members and friends. The Kennebec River is the most formidable water crossing on the entire A.T., and water levels can rise quickly and unpredictably due to multiple hydroelectric facilities upriver. DO NOT attempt to ford the river — a ferry service is provided at no cost to hikers. For more information on the ferry, visit https://www.matc.org/for-hikers/kennebec-river-ferry/
Yaaay! First ever flushing toilet at Blackburn!

Tag Archives: Female mass shooters
Whether or not the YouTube shooter's videos were inspired by Klimt's explorations of dark facets of femininity, did they deserve to be demonetised for not being 'advertiser-friendly'?

Art Nouveau, Eric Kandel The Age of Insight, Female mass shooters, Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt, Internet personae, Judith and the Head of Holofernes, Nasim Aghdam, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, Psychology of social media users, Surrealism, Symbolist movement in art, YouTube
Left: Nasim Khagdam, who killed herself after wounding workers at YouTube's headquarters; right: Gustav Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (1907)
Left, detail from Gustav Klimt's Judith and the Head of Holofernes (1901; see below); right: Nasim Aghdam, her neck ornamented like Judith's
[ Note added on 12. 4. 2018: An earlier version of the text reflected a mistake in several early news reports: Nasim Aghdam does not appear to have left behind a husband in Iran, in fact, or to have ever married. ]
Social media giants are entering worrying territory when they interfere with the self-images that people are taking pains to devise online — people not accused of hate speech, aggressive political extremism or terrorism. One obvious conclusion from last week's nightmare attack on helpless YouTube workers by the would-be assassin, Nasim Khagdam, is that social media sites have to start weighing potentially profound psychological effects of changes in their rules for participation and algorithms.
Another conclusion is that forensic psychologists assisting in the investigation of the 37 year-old Iranian shooter's motives and state of mind might want to glance at a 1907 painting by the Viennese artist Gustav Klimt. Might. Reader, be warned: most of this post is an exercise in speculation and conjecture intended as an illustration or example. We'd like to suggest a line of enquiry: can social media serve the deeper human needs that some users are trying to satisfy on these platforms when the 'business model' of the companies that own them makes attracting advertisers their supreme objective?
As we were watching clips from the fitness-promoting, animal-rights and vegan-advocacy videos Aghdam had been posting on YouTube, in which she is the only human being on-screen, we were overcome by a strange certainty that we had seen her before. Not just her face but the particular dress she is wearing in one clip. Not a face in a crowd or belonging to a fellow passenger in the same train compartment somewhere but in a close-up. After a mysterious flash of association, we found replications of Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer on the net — a picture that last changed hands, in 2016, for $150 million. And there she was. That is, the woman Aghdam seems to have been impersonating in a video — whose topic was exactly what, we cannot say, because she was speaking in Farsi.
Look at the first set of images we have pasted in side-by-side. Aghdam, in the screen-grab on the left, has arranged her hair not unlike Bloch-Bauer's in the painting on the right, above eyes and eyebrows that are strikingly similar. Now look at the pattern of the fabric clinging to the shooter's body and note that it appears to have been directly inspired by the mosaic that Bloch-Bauer was not actually dressed in. The garment in the picture was an invention of Klimt's, and as you might expect of a leading exponent of both the Symbolist and Art Nouveau styles of painting, the motifs on it are heavily symbolic. In The Age of Insight, a present from a friend we suddenly remembered downloading into our Kindle three years ago, we re-read the explanation by its author, Eric Kandel — a neuroscientist who won the Nobel prize for medicine in 2000 — that the 'small iconographic images on Adele's dress' are meant to be 'symbols of male and female cells: rectangular sperm and ovoid eggs.' Both women are wearing strappy evening dresses that are not dissimilar, even if Aghdam's is not dripping gold leaf and has only a velvety hint of luxury about it.
It is unlikely that Bloch-Bauer herself interested Aghdam beyond the curious physical resemblance between them that could have sparked her original interest in the picture and its artist. The portrait's subject was a rather boring, rich, society woman married to the Viennese banker and sugar manufacturer who commissioned it. She looks vacant, verging on bored. By contrast, anger is virtually the only emotion Aghdam's face expresses in one video clip after another — when it is not determinedly blank and unsmiling — and she seems intent on cloaking her messages in an aura of deadly seductiveness.
Gustav Klimt's Judith and the Head of Holofernes (1901)
But what could sexuality possibly have to do with protecting small animals like the anxious grey rabbit she is holding in some of her tableaux, or with explaining the joys of veganism to the unconverted? Nothing. What it does fit, though, is Klimt's obsession with not just seduction but malign feminine eroticism. You do not see this in the portrait Aghdam apparently sought to mimic, but in another painting for which art experts say Klimt borrowed Bloch-Bauer's face and expressions — and whose subject was a female killer. This was Judith, from the Bible, a pious young widow who deployed her beauty to lure a general in an army bent on conquering her people into sleeping with her, and after he falls asleep, uses his sword to lop off his head. The Wikipedia entry for Judith and the Head of Holofernes (1901) describes the expression on her face as a blend of 'voluptuousness and perversion,' designed to convey 'the greatest degree of intensity and seduction.'
Those words fit the persona Aghdam adopted for her videos — and if there was any actual connection between that choice and the picture, YouTube's managers could hardly have been expected to perceive or understand it. Did she choose it before or after they enraged her by demonetising her videos — that is, cutting off payments she had been receiving from the company for advertisements that appeared with her productions posted under the user name Nasime Sabz?
Perhaps we have missed the answer in some news report to the question of when she became the chronically infuriated woman in her videos. We suspect that she was angry even before the shock of her demonetisation; and that her fury about her life and fate found an outlet not just in making her videos for the causes she championed, but in the chances her YouTube creations gave her to escape her actual identity and circumstances when she let Klimt's fixations take over her imagination, what Kandel describes as quintessentially male 'nightmares about […] the relationship between sex and aggression, life and death.'
YouTube is said to have de-linked her videos from its money-making scheme for users of its site — or 'content creators' — because they were not 'advertiser-friendly.' The decision apparently followed from a change of users' terms and conditions by the company in 2016 that distressed a number of other small-scale, independent producers like her, according to Recode. Before that, she does not appear to have been subjected to any constraints on her choice of material. In the weeks before she shot and killed herself at the end of her rampage at YouTube's headquarters, Aghdam claimed that Google, which owns YouTube, had also made it impossible for her audience to find her web site with some obstruction resembling a 'page not found' dead end. In the absence of any statement about their relationship with her by either company, so far, it looks as if her accusation could have been justified.
The managers who effectively shut her down might have had no conception of what separating this YouTube user from her ability to earn money from her uploads and communicate with her audience meant to her — or could mean to someone in a position like hers, about which they are unlikely to have known very much before she died. By various accounts, she had been living in Southern California with her grandmother for some years after she left Iran, where her family was part of a persecuted minority, followers of the irenic Baha'i religion, which teaches that all the world's religions have a common source. But in America she had soon become at least as unhappy as she was in her homeland.
As no occupation or vocation has been mentioned so far, nor any details of her education, she might not have had the benefit of any of these to anchor her to reality and connect her to embodied — as opposed to virtual, online — fellow human beings, other than members of her family. She could barely speak or write English. The reports that she slept in her car on the nights after she left Southern California for her journey to YouTube's headquarters near San Francisco suggest that she was acutely short of cash and perhaps had no credit cards.
All in all, it looks as though her small success as a minor YouTube celebrity with a following mostly in Iran could have been the one bright patch in her life. Then YouTube pulled the plug on it, and she was swallowed up by darkness. Several reports quote her brother saying that she had complained endlessly that YouTube 'ruined her life.'
There are almost certainly millions of other social media users whose internet presence is now essential to their sense of themselves; at least as important as Aghdam's was to hers. Each presence is an interweaving of personal history, dreams, hopes, personal quirks and the great unconscious, the source of inspiration for the most sublime works in the history of art. Don't lesser, even strictly aspirational artists deserve respect for what their creations mean to them — and to be free to display them online without consideration of their commercial usefulness?
Several of this tragic shooter's videos look like crude, unpolished tributes to the more repulsive creations of Surrealist painters like Salvador Dali. Other influences are detectable. The Aghdam persona strongly resembles Frida Kahlo's in self-portraits by that painter, whose unibrow gives her an even angrier aspect. Would such artists have been permitted to earn whatever revenue they could on YouTube while still struggling to make their names and before the initial public reaction to their visions — intense revulsion — was succeeded by acceptance and even amused affection? Like Aghdam's videos, the creations of the Surrealists and Kahlo were and still are commonly described as 'bizarre'.
We doubt that answering the questions in this post should be left to executives at technology companies. They are crying out for public debate. In the meanwhile, policy makers for social media platforms should certainly consult psychologists and psychiatrists when they draft or contemplate alterations of their rules for users. Or, if they already employ these, perhaps consider hiring better ones.


I talked about grounding and paying attention to our environment in my last oracle forecast, so here's more for this tea time.
Anger is the power to say no. This is our natural reaction whenever we see someone suffer—we want to stop it. The buddhas say no to the three poisons that drive injustice. They are angry about our suffering and they will happily destroy its causes. They aren't angry at us. They're angry for us.

Engaged mindfulness, skillful means, mindful activism–these were all the possibilities and tools I felt viscerally in my body when I was exploring Tibetan Buddhism 2004-2009, except I felt these topics were not touched upon or covered to my satisfaction in local discussions (perhaps to be expected, living under a "beneficial dictatorship"). It seemed contradictory to me to be able to achieve calm through meditation but then not do anything helpful in the layperson's life I had, passionate about the environment and engaged with education, work, and social interactions. If compassion did not inform or transform our actions on this plane, I questioned, what was the point of Buddhism or compassion in our lives?
When I took refuge, the name I was gifted with (besides part of it being the name of my teacher) was "Palden". I was told it meant "illustrious", but that was not half as cool as looking it up online and learning about Palden Lhamo. Subsequently as I drew further away from the Buddhist classes I found limited, I entered my years of mostly unguided "training", encountering the supernatural in my job as a history guide, and sometimes having part of that following me home and into dream time. Even in the midst of my initial fear, my most powerful emotion and motivation in the situations was that I could allow no harm to be done. Not to me, not to my real-life charges (young students, or tourists) and whatever defensive measures I took would also prevent malignant spirits from worse repercussions from their actions. Setting this motivation at my heart, everything would become easier.
Natural anger has a place, that, when managed with wisdom, can be channeled into skillful action that avoids needless aggression and cruelty.
But, I'm still practicing! And I told this anecdote because I feel the credo of "no harm be done" is also what needs to be practiced as we take it into political and social engagement. Unless you're living on an uncharted island, the policies of your country of residence determine the quality of your life and the environment. The disadvantaged and disenfranchised often quietly have their lives balanced on the edge of a knife.
To plead ignorance of their existence, their circumstances, and the consequences upon them by the choices we make is to deny our collective responsibility and the interconnected-ness of all the very real lives and the power we all have.
Nothing to see here, just the Russian president, Michael Flynn and Jill Stein together at a 2015 RT gala. No reason at all to be suspicious and questioning. Conspiracies can be played both ways.
The thing about that old cliché of enlightened monks meditating peacefully on the tops of mountains, far away from the world? They still needed the mountains under them.
We're here in physical vessels. We can use them.

Q: Java Member Initialization Patterns I have a class MyClass:
public class MyClass {
  private MyComplexType member1;
}

I have to do some pretty intense initialization on member1.  Enough that it easily warrants its own method, called from the MyClass constructor.
My question is, which of the following formats is best for this method?
private MyComplexType initMyComplexType() {
  MyComplexType result = new MyComplexType();
  // extensive initialization on result...
  return result;
}

called like this:
public MyClass() {
  member1 = initMember1();
}

OR
private void initMember1() {
  member1 = new MyComplexType();
  // extensive initialization on member1...
}

called like this:
public MyClass() {
  initMember1();
}

Which is the better style for a private member?  Why?

A: I would choose the first option as it more clearly expresses the purpose of the init method and shows the data flow explicitly.
Not to mention that it makes the code in the init method potentially reusable. Should you need to initialize another variable later, you can just call the method again without worrying about side effects. Furthermore, if that other variable is in another class, you can easily move the method to somewhere accessible to both places.
Along this line, I would also consider remaining the init method to something like doExtensiveComplexCalculation to decouple it from your actual member variable.

A: Another drawback of the second approach is that the field member1 potentially exposes a partially initialized MyComplexType to another thread.
Example of overridden protected static method in reply to Jörn Horstmann:
public class StaticOverrideParent {

 protected static void doSomething() {
  System.out.println("Parent doing something");
 }
}

public class StaticNoOverride extends StaticOverrideParent {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  doSomething();
 }
}

public class StaticOverride extends StaticOverrideParent {

 protected static void doSomething() {
  System.out.println("Doing something");
 }

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  doSomething();
 }
}

Running StaticNoOverride prints "Parent doing something".
Running StaticOverride prints "Doing something".

A: Go for option 1. Apart from reasons mentioned by Peter, it is a better practice because this way you have a computation-intensive but side-effect-free function init(), and lighter but state-modifying constructor. It's recognized as good practice to separate these two features.
Also, using template/factory method is open for extension. It's easier to to override it (or its part if you use template method) in subclasses. Again, that's thanks to separation of computations from state modifications.
Edit: As others have stated, also consider renaming initComplexMember() to buildContextMember().

A: Only the first allows you to assign the result to a final member, and that's reason enough for me.

A: Very good reasons have already been given (final member assignment, multi-threading issue, improved readability), the technical ones being very strong and enough for me. I'll just add a little extract from the Java Tutorials:

Initializing Instance Members
Normally, you would put code to
  initialize an instance variable in a
  constructor. There are two
  alternatives to using a constructor to
  initialize instance variables:
  initializer blocks and final methods.
Initializer blocks for instance
  variables look just like static
  initializer blocks, but without the
  static keyword:
{

    // whatever code is needed for initialization goes here
}

The Java compiler copies initializer
  blocks into every constructor.
  Therefore, this approach can be used
  to share a block of code between
  multiple constructors.
A final method cannot be overridden in
  a subclass. This is discussed in the
  lesson on interfaces and inheritance.
  Here is an example of using a final
  method for initializing an instance
  variable:
class Whatever {
    private varType myVar = initializeInstanceVariable();

    protected final varType initializeInstanceVariable() {

        //initialization code goes here
    }
}

This is especially useful if
  subclasses might want to reuse the
  initialization method. The method is
  final because calling non-final
  methods during instance initialization
  can cause problems. Joshua Bloch
  describes this in more detail in
  Effective Java.

I tend to favor the above style (unless I don't want the initialization to occur in all constructors but this is unusual).

A: I'd prefer the Spring IoC container to the kind of complex hard-coded initialization you've described.  It leads to better separation of concerns and is a much better environment for unit testing.

A: Good reasons have been given by the other commentators to use a helper function to initialise the variable. I just want to add that I actually prefer to use a private or protected static function for this. This makes it really clear that this is just an initialization helper that can in no way modify other state of the object, and it also can not get overridden by a subclass.

Q: Where to get Mavericks (or older) OS X installer apps to set up Virtual Machines? Apple now allows you to run OS X inside a Virtual Machine as long as the host is running Apple hardware. Because we need to test our web site on various versions of Safari, we picked up a Mac Mini running Yosemite for testing purposes. The idea is to run Mavericks (currently our largest user base) and possible Mountain Lion in a VM on demand, similar to what we do on our Windows.
However, I've yet to be able to find a place to download prior installer apps. I've found other StackExchange posts referring to the App Store, but since this is a new Apple ID there are no previous purchases for old versions, and as far as I can tell they are no longer available to "purchase". Likewise, I have not been able to find any OS X Installer apps on the Apple Developer site.
Am I missing something? Is there an easy-ish way to get these apps to install OS X to a VM?
(For VM host, we are currently using Virtualbox, but would be willing to use VMWare or Parallels if needed)

A: There are many ways to skin this cat.
First, check to see what minimum version of the OS ships with your Mac:

*

*https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204319
That establishes the version you can get easily from Apple either through Internet Recovery or contacting AppleCare to order replacement media or a download code for the Mac App Store. At that point, the AppleID you are using should be able to upgrade to each of the versions of the OS newer than the build that shipped with your hardware.
To go earlier, you can join Apple as a developer and request download codes and direct download of all manner of older OS for testing purposes. If this isn't worth the time/budget to spend one time $99 you could also look for hardware that shipped with the version you require and buy it at a steep discount. For example, laptops with broken screens and failing batteries will work just fine with external keyboards and power cables in most cases long enough to get to the Mac App Store and "purchase" the version of the core OS for your AppleID. At that point, you can start building your archive of installers.
I would caution on torrenting OS unless you check the file sizes and hashes. It's probably better to network with other developers to exchange a USB drive with the media in exchange for brownies or such things like fermented grain based liquids.
Now that you have the ingredients, it's time to cook. Many open source tools exist to help you make bootable images:

*

*http://www.theinstructional.com/guides/build-deploy-os-x-images-with-autodmg

*https://github.com/MagerValp/AutoDMG

*http://www.deploystudio.com

*https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2015/10/18/create_vmware_osx_install_dmg-script-updated-with-el-capitan-support/

*https://github.com/rtrouton/create_os_x_vm_install_dmg
My advice would be to pick one tool like Rich's create_os_xvm_install_dmg script or decide to set up deploy studio and/or a netboot server and then automate one of the newer OS. You'll then be able to not get hung up on gathering all the images and instead get going with the tools. You can ask specific follow on questions here or on the Mac Admin slack channel once you have your feet wet and are in the weeds of a specific install.

A: I'm afraid you may struggle…
There is no official way to obtain previous OSes, unless they are in your purchase history.
You also need a full installer, not a recovery image.
Your options are really
1. Find someone who already has the previous installers
2. Usenet/torrents
The 2nd option is, of course, the least-trusted.

Rainbow cakes have been all the rage on Pinterest for some time now, and I love making rainbow treats, particularly around St. Patrick's Day. This year, I wanted to incorporate the rainbow theme with a chocolate cake because, in my book, everything is better with a little chocolate. But that meant I couldn't just dye the cake layers. I had to get a little creative. So my answer to the challenge of a Chocolate Rainbow Cake is this beauty.
Instead of incorporating the rainbow into the chocolate cake itself, I used the frosting, particularly the frosting between the layers, to provide the rainbow effect.
After filling the second layer in the same manner, I put the cake in the fridge for about 20 minutes to let it set. Then I put a thing layer of frosting all over the cake to seal in the crumbs. Threw it back in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Finally, I put on the final layer of frosting and the decorations.
While the outside of this Chocolate Rainbow Cake is festive and rainbow in it's own right, it's the inside of the cake that's the real showstopper. When I cut into the cake, my kids were blown away with the rainbow filling. My older daughter asked me, "How did you paint a rainbow on the inside of the cake?" And another guest exclaimed, "Oh, I thought it was just the outside of the cake that was rainbow. I couldn't image how the inside of a chocolate cake could be rainbow!" And there you have it. Mission accomplished – a Chocolate Rainbow Cake!
If you love rainbow foods as much as I do, or you're looking for some good 'ol St. Patty's Day inspiration, check out these Rainbow Pot of Gold Cupcakes, these St. Patrick's Day Sugar Cookies, Grasshopper Cupcakes and these Rainbow Cake Pops.
This moist, rich Chocolate Rainbow Cake is perfect for St. Patrick's Day! While the outside of the cake is festive, it's the inside of the cake that has a bright, rainbow filling.
With parchment paper, line 3 6-inch round pans. Grease the pans. Set them aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and oil together.
Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until just combined.
In a measuring cup, add the milk and vinegar.
In three additions, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the sugar mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients.
Divide the batter evenly between each of the pans.
Bake for about 30 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 15 min. Then invert on to cooling racks. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
For the frosting: In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add the vanilla and cream. Beat until fluffy.
Measure out a scant 1/4 of a cup of frosting in 6 separate bowls. Tint each bowl with one color of the rainbow.
Then fill them as shown in the photo in the post.
Once the cakes are filled, place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes.
Use the remaining frosting to crumb coat and frost the cake.
The leftover colored forsting can be used to decorate the cake.

That is an amazing cake! Pinned!
This is so pretty! I was trying to figure out how it was rainbow inside, but icing it that way smart!
I Pinned this recipe!! Its perfect. My daughter loves chocolate cake (she asks for one every year) and her Birthday is on St. Patrick's day!! So excited to make this for her. Thanks for sharing.
It is too simple!!! Today on my mother's birthday, we made this cake. It was very delicious!!!! Everyone praised of this cake.

Ewyas Harold Parish Plan
Recreation Ground
Kemble Centre
Ewyas Harold Village Design Statement
Footpaths & Minor Highways
Proposed Kemble Centre Business Development Plan
Ewyas Harold Group Parish Council
presented by Clever Elephant
The Business Development Plan (BDP) follows the production of the Feasibility Study on the proposed Kemble Centre on the site of the former Roman Catholic Church in Ewyas Harold. The Study identified the best option being a Locality Health and Wellbeing Centre which would provide a seven day venue for primary and community health services.
The BDP sets out the main tasks for the next phase of development to enable EHGPC, to co-ordinate and facilitate progress towards achieving this. It is envisaged that continued and further independent facilitation and co-ordination is required and representatives of the Kemble Centre Working Group are in the process of seeking further funds to support this. In the meantime, the Awards for All Grant currently in use has been varied to provide further support from Clever Elephant until September 2016. The Working Group will oversee the implementation of this Plan.
1. Current Opportunities
The opportunity identified through the Feasibility Study to progress the proposed Centre in conjunction with One Herefordshire's Sustainable and Transformation Plan needs further development. This includes the potential for the formation of the Locality Board and bringing together the three GP surgeries, Kingstone, Much Birch and the Golden Valley. A meeting is being scheduled to be attended by the One Herefordshire's Director Community Services, representatives of the three GP surgeries and Clever Elephant to provide independent facilitation.
2. Funding bids
With the recent news that Herefordshire Clinical Commissioning Group have selected the project to submit to NHS England for the Primary Care Transformation Fund (PCTF) means that there is likely to be a good deal of further work to develop the proposal in more detail. This work will continue to be led by the Golden Valley GP Practice with support from Clever Elephant on behalf of the EHGPC, and Herefordshire Council.
Other funding opportunities as identified in the Feasibility Study also need to be further explored and developed including Big Lottery Reaching Communities Building Fund. Initial conversations have been started with Herefordshire Council's Funding Officer for support with this aspect of developments.
3. Internal Communications
The Working Group will ensure internal communications continue between the organisation's represented on the Group. The development of the PCTF and any other funding sources will require regular and robust communications to be established between the EHGPC and the Golden Valley GP Practice.
Involvement of One Herefordshire staff and Much Birch and Kingstone GP Practices may also be required as the work on the PCTF bid develops.
4. External Communications
A Communications Plan needs to be developed that sets out a schedule of communication that continues to brief local and neighbouring communities including the Parish Councils and all stakeholders involved to date. It is anticipated that other organisations and individuals will be included as identified through further developments. The Communications Plan will include regular updates via the new notice board by the former Roman Catholic Church.
5. Developing wider involvement and buy in
The continued liaison and involvement with all stakeholders who have expressed an interest to date needs to be maintained and further developed. As the project develops other areas of interest with organisations and individuals will be identified which will require proactive facilitation and negotiation. For example, other health and wellbeing service providers, local and neighbouring community buildings and facilities and services and activities provided by people in the local and nearby communities.
6. Structures and management options
EHGPC are now seeking to consider the options for structure and management of the proposed Centre. The ownership of the proposed Centre as well as the governance and management need to be given full consideration initially by the EHGPC and then further developed with the other organisations involved with project developments.
All of the above will involve one to one and group meetings to develop options, involvement and ownership. Facilitation and co-ordination of all considerations will need to be delivered as required throughout the process to enable the project to be realised.
Updating and Tracking BDP Delivery
The Business Development Plan will need to be further developed and expanded as the project moves forward and other opportunities and risks are identified.
