I recently purchased the SIEMENS CONNECTION KIT (6ES6400-1PC00-0AA0) with its corresponding serial cable to connect to a MICROMASTER 440. I connect my RS232-USB cable to the serial cable. But I can not connect in any way! What do I do wrong? 1. In the micromaster 440 I put the following USS configuration parameters (USS = serial communication): p2010 = 6 p2011 = 0 p2012 = 2 p2013 = 127 2. I put the DIP of the Connection Kit (Ref. 6ES6400-1PC00-0AA0) 1 ON, 2 OFF, as indicated in the manual. I connect the connection kit module with its serial cable to my RS232-USB cable. And I connect the USB to my PC. 3. Open "Set PG / PC interface" and select PC COM-Port.USS.1 4. I go to the properties and I am selected COM1 without problems. 5. But I do the transmission speed test and can not find anything. 6. Also in the diagnosis of PC COM-Port.USS.1 I do the test and can not find anything. Supposedly my RS232 cable is correct (I have tried several tests). And the configuration of the COM port in "device manager" also looks correct. What am I doing wrong?? Zhanks!
Actually I am trying to add recipes or edit recipes. In no case I was referring to adding parameters to a recipe. These files can be read, edited and saved from the screen, but in no case are the extensions of these files * .csv. The file extensions of the recipes are stored by me -as I have already mentioned- in * .dat, * .rdf and * .vdf. What can I do to edit these files? or to create ?
Regards! I have a new challenge to face. I have a client that needs to edit from a computer the recipes that WinCC Flexible screens emit. I have noticed that the recipes are stored in several files of extension * .dat * .rdf and * .vdf. How can I read and edit them from any PC without the need for Siemens products? Thank you!
The Prosave does not excite me because my client is obliged to have Prosave. Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot! I have solved it as you said: 1. Here I put the collection of media that can be used (Memory card or USB) https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/21847868/which-external-storage-media-can-you-use-with-the-current-simatic-panels-and-which-memory-card-interfaces-do-they-have-?dti=0&dl=en&lc=es-WW 2. Here's how it's done (with SD or USB): https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/28928853/how-do-you-backup-restore-with-a-windows-based-panel-?dti=0&dl=en&lc=es-WW 3. Accurate instructions on how to do it in the MP277 panel (Section 6.9): http://stest1.etnetera.cz/ad/current/content/data_files/automatizacni_systemy/systemy_pro_ovladani_a_vizualizaci/standardni_panely/multipanely/rada_270/opi_mp-277_09-2007_en.pdf 4. And for TIA Portal there is this: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109740696/how-with-the-tia-portal-do-you-transfer-your-project-to-your-operator-panel-via-a-storage-medium-(usb-stick-for-example)-?dti=0&dl=en&lc=es-ES Thank you! I hope I have been helpful too!
Regards! My problem is the following. I have a client that has 7 different machines with touch panels SIEMENS TP277. A touch panel for each machine. The machines are different and therefore the projects that have to be loaded from WINCC Flexible to each panel are different. That is, 7 different projects. My client wants to have a single spare screen, not 7. Is there any way that he has a single spare physical panel and without needing WINCC Flexible can he load the same one of the 7 projects? Can not you record inside the panel and then load 1 of the 7 you need? Or via USB memory? ZhankS! zHANKS!
Regards! I have built a record in CX-Supervisor of about 56 analog variables whose sampling every 2 seconds. However, I find that when I examine the record made of multiple shots of sampling times instead of 2 seconds, I sampled every 3. That is, every 20 to 40 samples one takes me 3 seconds instead of 2. This may be due to overloading of the SCADA? That having so many variables that record and monitor sometimes take more than 2 seconds and reach than 3. You know the real cause and a solution? Thank you!
WinCC OA (open architecture): Anyone know of some manual or similar?
Hi ! Just know if you have news of some manual of WinCC OA. Thank you!
I have resolved as follows: 1. I think an array of text in memory of 10 named positions: HEADER 2. When initializing the position HEADER array project as follows: HEADER  = "TRAFFICLIGHT 1" HEADER  = "TRAFFICLIGHT 2" .... HEADER  = "TRAFFICLIGHT 10" 3. I think the variable int "trafficlight_index" 4. I think a single page "traffic light" consisting for example: a) A text field (####) and the editor of animations: Display value (text) HEADER [trafficlight_index] b) A numeric array (##) that for example we will create in the editor points as "time_in_green" and the animation editor: Edit and display analog value: time_in_green [trafficlight_index] 5. On another page that menu, think 10 buttons all lead to the same page "Traffic Light" and charged each button to "trafficlight_index" a different integer value using a VB script (running script). Example: Script to run button 1: trafficlight_index_index = 0 Display "Trafficlight" Script to run the button 2: trafficlight_index = 1 Display "Trafficlight" Etc... You save a lot if there are many identical pages!
Regards ! This is my problem: I have a point on the screen (text variable I/O) # , which is associated in the animation editor the following: "Edit point value (analog)": variableX and enable "display keypad" "Display value (analog)": variableX Although I have written # and no. ##.## in the SCADA displays only the truncated values, but the PLC also receives those decimals that can lead. How I can do to make the PLC also receive decimals? How I can truncate the value despite the user to enter decimal me? Thank you!
I will give an example to be better understood. Imagine that we have a plan or map 6 traffic lights. And every time you press one of the traffic lights on the map it opens the window control (eg semaphore 4 ON / OFF button). Theoretically this should build screen for each of the six lights, that is six screens. But ... being identical pages 6 must be a way to build only 1 time, and is routed to appropriate light at runtime. The question is how? Imagine that instead of 6 traffic lights, have 50.
Regards! I'm with a new draft CX-Supervisor. I have to make a lot of identical pages in which only varies from one to the other a label, a textbox and something more. I know there is a technique to make the page only 1 time, and subsequently routed correctly the labels and tags. I remember seeing him in any web or any documentation. Anyone know anything about this? Thank you!
Greetings again ! When you are in Runtime with CX -Supervisor SCADA and click the right mouse button a popup with multiple options opens . Anyone know how this could disable ? For some own choice of CX - supervisor? By VBS ? ( Right now I have not found anything about it ) . Zhanks!
Since CX-Supervisor was installed on a computer I get a blue screen sometimes. Anyone else has happened ? Anyone know what may be due? Solutions ? Thx!

Zyme Solutions for systemizing sales
Zyme(Industry Leadership In Channel Data Solutions) was founded by Chandran Sankaran with a mission: to address the channel visibility problem in the high-tech industry.
For the likes of Dell and SanDisk to sell their products, there are over 6,000 distributors and a million retailers around the world. It's a very fragmented distribution system and it means that technology companies have a hard time figuring out how much they sell, which products sell more, which less, and in which regions sales happens. The data is also voluminous, and becoming increasingly so, making it difficult for internal IT system to copy with it.
Sankaran pictured a solution where he establish a data center to which retailers could upload their sales, and manufacturers could then access the same. He approached a global tech company with that idea and said he would take their entire distribution tracking exercise off their hands. The company agreed. With this project Sankaran step ahead and in 2004 he formed Zyme.
Today, many of the world's biggest IT brands are Zyme coustomers. That includes Logitech, Symantec, Seagate, Dell, Xerox, SanDisk, LG and Cisco.
Shankaran grew up in Bangalore, studied in IIT-Madras, where he graduated form in 1983, and went to Yale in the US for a Master's in computer science. His first job was with Hewlett-Packard. In 1998,he returned to India with the idea of starting something here in IT services, but before long he got the feeling that the thought was ahead of its time. So, in 1990 he returned to the US to consult for HP, and a year later joined McKinsey where he spent six years. For a couple of years after that, he ran the heig-tech vertical of i2 technologies, the supply chain management software and services company founded by Sanjiv Sidhu and Ken Sharma in Dallas, Texas.
Later he left that to found a company of his own called ClosedLoop Solutions, which was cloudbased enterprise budgetary and planning solution. It became successful startup. In 2003 it was acquired by Lawson software for $4 million. After few months he got the Zyme opportunity.
"It important to believe totally in your idea" he says.

Finding Sophisticated Lighting Solutions
Once an afterthought of building construction, lighting design has emerged as one of the most important ways to create comfortable and desirable workplaces.
map marker United States | 2 August 2018
Reading Time : 3:45 minutes
"We have found that clients are looking for more sophisticated lighting solutions that align with their current functional needs," said Lilian Rodriguez Fu, department head for the lighting team in San Francisco. "As personal technology improves to increase one's personal productivity, the lighting systems people interface with must also keep up."
Fu and her team design lighting for a wide range of hospitality, commercial, civic, residential, educational and exterior landscape projects.
"Lighting design today utilizes LED sources that require less wattage to produce the same amount of light that traditional fluorescent sources had provided in the past," Fu said. "This speaks to efficiency, but the sustainable story is still a bit complex when considering the cradle-to-grave of this highly efficient technology."
She recalled a challenge involving a conference center client who requested more than just a fully dimmable LED architectural lighting system. "The client also requested a system that included color-changing light fixtures and remote-controlled adjustable accent lighting, which allows for a quick turnover of partitioned conference space to maximize revenues and reduce operational costs," Fu said.
Each project brings with it challenges and creative opportunities to turn a client's wants and needs into a system that not only meets the design and operational goals, but in a way that can be completed on time and within budget.
"Fortunately, WSP brings the knowledge and skill of multi-disciplinary teams that help our lighting designers make those goals possible," Fu said.

WSP's lighting design team created the lighting system for Balyasny Asset Management's headquarters in San Francisco.
One example of WSP's approach to creative lighting design was featured on the Victoria Ward Block M residential building in Honolulu.
The project, which was completed in 2015 on behalf of the Howard Hughes Company, centered around restoration of an historic mid-century IBM corporate building notable for its distinct brise-soleil shading exterior. Originally designed by renowned Hawaiian architect Vladimir Ossipoff, the building was reimagined as the three-story sales center and headquarters for the adjacent Ward Village development.
The interior was remodeled extensively to incorporate the original fixtures and the building's mid-century modern style. WSP's lighting design was configured to not only create a comfortable workplace and a showcase of the building's unmistakable features, but to bring the building's façade to life. WSP also provided mechanical-electrical-plumbing engineering services for the project.
WSP is also providing the lighting design for the parks and streetscapes of San Francisco's Treasure Island development, where Fu serves as project manager.
Treasure Island, an artificial island in San Francisco Bay built for the 1939 World's Fair and later used as a military base, is in being transformed into a 465-acre planned urban village extending across the entire island and portions of adjacent Yerba Buena Island. When fully completed, the neighborhood will add more than 8,000 residential units, 100,000 square feet of new office space and 140,000 square feet of retail space to the city.
"The lighting design challenges each project carries are both common and unique," Fu said. "I love drawing on my past experience to help guide and inform the process towards solutions, but understand that there is still much to learn from each other and the situation to tailor that successful path."
The lighting design of the Victoria Ward building blends modern elements with the mid-century style of the historic IBM building.
Fu, who was raised in Virginia Beach and graduated from Penn State University with a bachelor's degree in architectural engineering, said that when she started her career in lighting design more than 22 years ago, clients rarely understood the value of hiring a specialty lighting consultant to provide design services.
"In those days, few were willing to pay 'extra' for this design service," she said. "At the turn of the century, sustainability and energy codes drove that need for lighting design expertise. Now the focus on human centric design, health and wellness is driving the need for better lighting."
Today most projects involve a lighting designer in some capacity. Even managers of design-build projects are recognizing the value of having a lighting consultant provide full design services throughout the process.
Fu recently led WSP's lighting design team for Balyasny Asset Management (BAM) in San Francisco, as well as MEP design services, working with VDTA in Chicago.
"The BAM project had a fun and energetic project team that we fully enjoyed collaborating with to achieve a successful outcome," Fu said. "The client loves their space, which always makes everything worthwhile."
And the beauty and functionality of facilities using creative, efficient lighting designs have made favorable impressions on the people who work and live in these buildings.
"It's incredibly rewarding to hear that the users love their new space, and we have been fortunate enough to have these types of comments occur on many of our most recent completed projects," Fu said.

Kimberley Strassel on IG report: Adam Schiff 'owes the country an enormous apology'
December 10, 2019 By Julia Musto
Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel said Tuesday that the release of Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz's report on the origins of the Russia investigation and the issuance of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants for a Trump campaign official was a triumph for House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and trouble for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
"The reason that we actually know about this FISA abuse is because in early February 2018, Nunes, who was heading the House Intelligence Committee, put out a memo with these explosive revelations that the FBI had targeted [former Trump campaign adviser] Carter Page with surveillance warrants that the dossier from a rival campaign had been the basis for that, and that the FBI had not been straight up with the FISA court," Strassel told "Fox & Friends".
Strassel spoke out less than 24 hours after Monday's release of the 476-page report. She blamed Schiff for much of the partisan divide surrounding the FISA report.
"This should have provoked bipartisan outrage," she said. "Instead, Adam Schiff came out immediately and said, 'No, that's a bunch of hooey.' And in fact he puts out his own memo and he says no, nobody abused anything."
DOJ WATCHDOG FINDS NO BIAS IN LAUNCH OF TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBE, BUT UNCOVERS 'SIGNIFICANT' FBI ERRORS
"So now we've got the IG report and Adam Schiff owes the country an enormous apology for spreading a false misinformation," Strassel added.
The inspector general found no intentional misconduct or political bias surrounding either the launch of the Trump-Russia investigation or the efforts to seek the controversial FISA warrant to Page in the early stages of that probe.
However, the report revealed that there had been at least 17 "significant inaccuracies and omissions" in the Carter Page FISA applications.
"He [Horowitz] said he didn't find any documentary evidence of bias," Strassel said. "I mean, that's basically saying he didn't find an e-mail among FBI officials saying let's take out Donald Trump."
READ: DOJ INSPECTOR GENERAL'S FISA REPORT
"And it's not his job in the absence of that documentary evidence to guess at their motives," she added. "But instead what he did is he just laid out all of the facts and when you step back and you look at that fact pattern, I think it's very hard for anyone to think that this wasn't a deliberate attempt by the FBI to abuse its powers in aid of going after Donald Trump."
Strassel also noted Tuesday that Schiff subpoenaed and released information that included Nunes' phone records in connection with the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, calling it an "incredibly bad faith move."
"This is, as far as I know, the first time you have the head of an intelligence committee, using the powers of Congress to spy on a fellow member," Strassel said. "And if that's the standard we're going to have going forward, if you think politics is ugly now, watch where this goes."

Organizations using Zimbra Collaboration Suite Network Edition are able to connect Zimbra to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and sync their devices (assuming they have an appropriate data plan). If you are not sure which version of Zimbra you are using, please contact your administrator or service provider.
Below are frequently asked questions by BlackBerry users (and administrators) connecting to their Zimbra mailbox via BES. Please note the set up for a BlackBerry device on Zimbra is essentially the same as BlackBerry for an MS Exchange user.

Why are messages deleted from the device not deleted from the server?
There are several reasons this can occur. See RIM support article KB00285 for more details.
Why aren't new messages that are added to folders other than the Inbox folder displayed on the device?
For folders other than Inbox, you must configure folder redirection.
1. From the Blackberry device Home screen, go to Messages.
2. Display the menu, and select Options > Email Settings.
3. Display the menu and select Folder Redirection.
4. In the Folder Redirection menu, highlight the Mailbox and select Expand.
5. Under the Mailbox, highlight the Mailbox and select Expand.
6. Highlight the folder that you want to turn on redirection for.
7. Display the menu, and select Change Option.
Why aren't certain modifications synchronized in real-time?
"The wireless email reconciliation feature processes requests in batches. As messages are read, deleted, moved, and so on, these modifications are queued and sent to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for each batch. Batching delays the wireless synchronization of folders (management) and message status while the information is being queued and the batches are being created. The batching process is designed to regulate the amount of wireless traffic the BlackBerry Enterprise Server has to process so that it does not become inundated with requests that the worker threads need to process." -- From RIM's "Wireless Email Reconciliation" documentation.
How do I adjust message pre-population settings?
There's an excellent how to at blackberryfaq.com.

The Brussels-European Union health commissioner urged the government to support efforts to detect coronavirus mutations, even if new Omicron variants were detected around the block, as they were somewhat delayed.
The first mutants found in southern Africa are now identified in several European countries, but to track their spread as different countries do not perform sufficient genomic sequencing of positive samples. Is difficult.
"Certain member states are far behind in this important aspect," Stella Kiriyakides said in a letter from Reuters to the Ministers of Health in 27 EU countries.
She urged all member states to do more.
Genome sequencing allows scientists to decode genes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, tell scientists which mutants may be present, monitor mutations, and learn more about the virus. increase.
Kiria Kides was not behind, but seven EU member states did not perform the sequence at a sufficient level in the first half of November, according to data from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). They were Finland, Greece, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Cyprus, Lithuania and Ireland.
Belgium, the first European country to detect Omicron variants, identified cases by sequencing only 3% of positive tests, and many other EU member states, virologists who found the variants there, Consistent with Mark, Van Lanst has about 10% ability, Van Lanst told Reuters.
In a letter on 29 November, Kiria Kides urged the Minister to vaccinate earlier and provide boosters urgently.
"We are already facing a harsh winter due to the high transmission rate of the delta variant (..). The advent of the Omicron variant can create additional or additional pressure," she writes.
Don't forget the sewer
Kyriakides also encouraged national authorities to test more people with both molecular and rapid tests. The test identifies the infected individual and is also the first step before the sequence.
"Wastewater monitoring has also proven to be an effective tool for providing important insights and should be used in diagnostic work," she added.
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that widely available tests can detect individuals infected with any variant, including Omicron. However, so far, we only recommend the TaqPath test created by the US company Thermo Fisher as a proxy.
The test can identify mutations that are usually associated with Omicron, called the S gene dropout. This allows a limited number of samples to be sequenced. This is necessary to see if it is omicron, as dropouts of the S gene also occur in other variants.
The Belgian laboratory that detected the Omicron variant used a Thermo Fisher tester, but it is unclear how widespread its use is in Europe. The company did not disclose the number of tests it sold and its sales to several European countries because of its policy of not disclosing customer data.

We Must Repaint Our Nation's Crumbling Infrastructure
As we hurtle toward the next millennium, we should take a moment to pause and judiciously examine the state of our country. The years ahead will no doubt bring wondrous advances in computers, HDTV, electric automobiles, and the like. But none of this will matter if we do not address the most pressing problem facing us today–the sorry state of our nation's physical infrastructure.
This great system, which encompasses America's transportation, electric-power and water-supply networks, has been operating beyond its design capacities for years. And, boy, does it ever look it. If we are to restore America's infrastructure to its pristine, original state, we must have it thoroughly and expertly repainted.
Perhaps a nice coat of Glidden Latex Exterior in a bright yellow. That would really help spruce up America's infrastructure. Or maybe a royal blue Mautz Satin Touch with enamel finish. That might give the infrastructure a classy look. But whatever brand and color we choose, we must do it soon, for we are at a crisis point.
Take the most visible symbols of our nation's civil-engineering might: our bridges. The San Francisco Bay Bridge, which opened in 1936, is a marvel of engineering and human endeavor. Its construction required 200,000 tons of steel, one million cubic yards of concrete, 71,000 miles of 28-inch diameter cable, 55 million man-hours and 3.2 million gallons of titanium-oxide-based marine paint. However, nearly 100 million cars pass over this great bridge each year, many more than its architects intended, subjecting the structure to severe impact stress and dislodging large flakes of paint. Atmospheric pollution has also taken its toll, fading and dirtying the bridge's once-gleaming facade. In short, the mighty Bay Bridge has become dangerously shabby-looking.
The same is true of our interstate highway system. When the highway system was born in the 1950s with the signing of the Interstate Highway Act, the Department of Transportation intended the roads to be regraded and resurfaced every 8 to 12 years. But due to budgetary constraints, maintenance schedules were gradually slashed while traffic volume and average vehicle weight–and, consequently, blemish-inducing accidents–increased. As a result, the average 10-mile section of American interstate roadbed now loses 5 to 7 percent of its total surface to vehicular erosion each year. This translates to a corresponding loss of 9 to 11 percent of its structural strength–and nearly 65 percent of its painted surface! There are freeway interchanges in the Snow Belt where the central yellow passing-zone indicator lines are peeling for hundreds of feet, while the white safety line at the road's edge has crumbled or been burned away altogether. This is not the clean, crisp look our civil engineers envisioned when these once-proud, once-safe roads were designed.
Everywhere we look, we see that our infrastructure has fallen victim to neglect. America's highways, bridges, dams, railroads and seaports are so dilapidated that we are no longer surprised when they collapse or explode. This sorry state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue. We must paint and paint and paint until our nation's infrastructure looks as shiny and attractive as it did in the long-gone days when it was new!
Like every grand proposal, this project has its naysayers. They claim that the sort of dedicated, high-caliber civil engineers who designed these systems, as well as the sort of skilled craftsmen who built them, no longer exist in America. They say the men we have today may not be skilled enough to repaint them. They say we don't have enough brushes. But they also say we cannot afford to repaint–and I say we cannot afford not to!
If we were to divert all the money, time and effort we now spend on patchwork repairs that have no hope of shoring up our doomed infrastructure and reinvest that money in high-quality Sherwin-Williams paint, we would have a shot at saving our roads, bridges and waterways from collapsing into a state of ugliness. It will be grueling work, but it must be done if our infrastructure is to have any hope of looking nice for future generations.
Our infrastructure is a proud symbol of what made America the greatest nation on Earth. We must honor those bygone times by continuing to repaint this symbol, by keeping it looking new despite the ravages of time, by treating America's infrastructure as if it were still young, strong and capable. To do otherwise would be unseemly–and un-American.

49ers turn lights out on Roethlisberger, Steelers
By | Sports Network
San Francisco, CA – The lights at Candlestick Park were free football to win a battle of playoff teams.
The same couldn't be said for the Pittsburgh Steelers, or more specifically, Ben Roethlisberger, who battled through a high ankle sprain but committed four turnovers in a 20-3 setback.
Alex Smith connected on 18-of-31 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown, while Frank Gore ran for 65 yards and a score on 18 carries for the NFC West- champion 49ers (11-3), who stayed in contention for a first-round bye.
The Steelers (10-4) had a chance to take control of their division with a fifth straight win, but fell back into a tie with the Baltimore Ravens atop the AFC North.
Roethlisberger threw for a respectable 330 yards on 25-of-44 throws, but was picked off three times and lost a fumble.
The game was twice delayed because of power outages in the San Francisco area.

Plot summary for Pillars of the House
Text for this page kindly provided by Stella Waring
This is the story of the thirteen Underwood children. Their father, the Rev. Edward Underwood, is a poor curate in the industrial town of Bexley, but he comes from an upper-class family, the Underwoods of Vale Leston, and lost his family inheritance through a flaw in his uncle's will. He dies of consumption just after his wife has given birth to boy and girl twins, the last of the thirteen. Mrs Underwood dies three years later.
At the moment of their father's death the children are:
Felix (aged 16)
Wilmet and Alda, twins (15)
Geraldine (13)
Clement (12)
Fulbert (10)
Angela (3)
Stella and Theodore, newborn twins
The book chronicles the history of the family from Felix's sixteenth birthday to Stella's marriage, with a final chapter and conclusion to tie up loose ends. Before his parents die, Felix has 'lost status' by giving up his hopes for University and going to work for a local printer and bookseller to help with the family finances. After their parents' death, in spite of offers from well-meaning friends, Felix and Wilmet determine that the family shall stay together. They accept a certain amount of help — school places for Clement and Lancelot, and Edgar and Alda go to live with a family connection in London — but it is Felix and Wilmet who are the two Pillars of the House.
The first part of the book tells of their struggles in the early years, but it is not just a depressing chronicle of 'make do'. After a spectacular fire at the hotel next door, a romantic half-Mexican young man, Ferdinand Travis, becomes part of the household for a time and part of the family in due course.
Very few of the Underwoods live quiet, humdrum lives. Felix, who works hard, both at his job and attempting to be a father to his younger siblings, gives up all hope of marriage, although he twice falls in love. At length, after several convenient deaths, he inherits the family home at Vale Leston and has the satisfaction, before he dies, of seeing all the family at home there. Little Theodore of the last twins, who is mentally and physically retarded, survives until the age of 17, gently guarded and supported by Felix.
Edgar, the brilliant, studies Art but cannot persevere, causes problems among his female acquaintances, forges a cheque and runs away, ending up in America where he is killed by Indians and leaves behind a son to succeed Felix. Alda, after rudely jilting Ferdinand Travis, marries a rich baronet for his money and produces a succession of small girls — the hoped-for son only arrives as his father dies of DTs. Wilmet rules the family with a rod of iron in the early years, then has a romantic marriage with an engineer. Clement, who goes to an Anglican church school in London is a bit of a prig at first but develops into a thoroughly competent and compassionate clergyman and brother. Geraldine, limited by a crippled ankle but with artistic talent, is Felix's right hand and sister-confidante; she also studies in London and has pictures hung at the Royal Academy.
Of Fulbert we hear the least; he is, at first, a thoroughly tough young boy. He then goes out to Australia, only to return just before Stella's wedding. Lancelot (Lance) however, has an eventful career, beginning as a chorister but in the end he joins Felix 'in trade'. Angela is the problem girl as soon as she goes to school and on to the end of the book and in the books that follow. Angela has enthusiasms and carries them too far and has to be rescued by her family. She is redeemed by her whole-hearted devotion to Felix. Robina when at school, is one of those who suffer from Angela's enthusiasms but she is a steady persevering girl, gets herself educated to the best of her ability and goes out as a governess to be independent and help the family budget. Last of the boys (not counting Theodore) Bernard is spoiled, until the change in the family fortunes allow him to go to a decent school and Stella, last of the girls, is the family's 'Princess Fair-Star' until she leaves them to get married.

Performance Anxiety: Sexuality, Aestheticism and Modernity in Charlotte M. Yonge's The Pillars of the House
Gavin Budge
Abstract of a paper given at
Victorian Performances, Lancaster University, September 2001
Charlotte M. Yonge's mammoth family saga The Pillars of the House was published in 1873, and went through numerous editions until the turn of the century. Central to the plot of the novel is an interestingly early treatment of the issue of "aestheticism" as a way of life. In this paper I would like to explore the connection between the novel's presentation of "aestheticism", with related anxieties about the morally corrupting nature of public performance, and the questions about sexuality which the novel raises in a somewhat less overt, but still recognisable, manner. Both these elements, I would like to suggest, are connected with the novel's rather troubled preoccupation with social modernity.
Due to her Tractarian affiliations, Yonge is often dismissed by modern critics, insofar as they bother to consider her at all, as a purely reactionary writer. In The Pillars of the House, however, despite the gentry affiliations of the orphaned clergy family who are the books central subject, Yonge depicts at length a condition of grinding genteel poverty in the suburbs of a small town, anticipating the social realism of writers such as H G Wells. The book's politics are admittedly conservative: the dedication to duty and traditional values of the eldest son are eventually rewarded by the inheritance of the family estate from his uncle. But this conservatism is not escapist: the son continues to work in the printing trade even after inheriting the estate, and insists that his eleven siblings continue in the lower middle-class occupations (as governesses, etc) which they have adopted.
Yonge's attempt to elaborate a lower middle-class conservatism, to counteract the effects of extension of the franchise, exhibits a considerable degree of strain - at the level of the plot, this is present in the family's rather forced reconciliation of gentry status with "trade". Interestingly, though, this sense of strain is also present in the characters themselves, and particularly in the novel's treatment of their sexuality. The eldest son effectively kills himself through "overwork", and is made to appear disturbingly asexual; he gives up his childhood sweetheart to one of his brothers, and dies in the end of a mysterious groin strain, which hints at impotence or castration (echoing Uncle Toby's groin injury in Tristram Shandy). There are also indications of homosexuality in two of the family. A younger brother, Clement, is consistently presented as effeminate and "shrill"; his formative influence is the disturbingly extreme ritualism of an all-male "settlement" attached to a London church. Similarly, one of the sisters is shown as unruly and "masculine", with her sole ambition being to join an Anglican sisterhood.
These allusions to sexuality complement the novel's major preoccupation with the insidious corruptions of "aestheticism". Edward, the second son, is presented as a Du Maurier-like aesthete, who adds to his talent for painting a proclivity for dabbling in music and journalism. His impecunious and Bohemian lifestyle eventually leads to him forging a signature, for which he has to flee the country; he dies in a hovel in the American West, where he has gone to seek his fortune, and, Yonge strongly hints, dies incapable of true repentance and therefore damned. Edward's artistic and musical talents are also possessed by two of his siblings, but these make the decision not to venture into public exhibition or performance, a decision which Yonge suggests benefits not only their personal morality, but also their stature as true artists.
Sexual and artistic dissipation are linked in Yonge's strongly negative portrayal of the effects of performance. This constellation of sexuality, aestheticism and religion strikingly anticipates the set of concerns we usually link with the 1890s. It would be my project in this paper to link Yonge's novel with emergent debates about aestheticism of the 1860s and 1870s (perhaps as connected with controversies about the "sensation" novel, and Buchanan's attack on "the fleshly school of poetry"), and to trace its connection with nineteenth century discourses of "anti-theatricalism", particularly as they were used to police the distinction between Tractarian Anglo-Catholicism and the unacceptable flamboyance of Roman Catholicism.

Paper relating to Pillars of the House by Susan E. Colón
The 2010 special issue of Women's Writing on Charlotte Yonge includes a paper by Susan E. Colón.
Colón, Susan E. "Realism And Reserve: Charlotte Yonge And Tractarian Aesthetics"
Volume 17 Issue 2 2010
Publisher's abstract: Reserve was absolutely central to the Tractarian theological and aesthetic programme, and Yonge's position as a leading practitioner of Tractarian aesthetics demands that we understand the relationship of reserve to her realism. Some critics have assumed that realism is simply incommensurate with reserve, while others have reduced reserve to its psychological dimension. However, while John Keble's and Isaac Williams' complex discussions of reserve are well understood, it is clear that realism has distinct value for reserve both theologically and aesthetically. Yonge cannily exploited realism's potential both to practise and preach reserve. This essay reads The Pillars of the House (1873), especially the scene of the cathedral choral festival, to explore the unique power of Yonge's realism to instruct readers in the doctrine of reserve without violating reserve in doing so.

How much is that worth today ?
Specific sums of money are important in The Pillars of the House and other Victorian works, but how can the modern reader have any idea how much these sums might realistically represent today?
The How much is that worth today site (no longer available?), from Economic History Services, allows you to compare the purchasing power of money in Great Britain in any year from 1600 up to the present. For example: you are wondering how much money would you need nowadays, at the end of the year 2001, to have the same "purchasing power" of £ 100 in the year 1823. Visit the site, type the amount and the year in the boxes, and click the button – the answer pops up as £ 5588.49.

Bolton Wanderers FC
Newcastle United recall loanee Adam Armstrong from Bolton ahead of Trotters' Huddersfield Town clash
The striker has gone back to his parent club after half a season at the Macron Stadium
Adam Armstrong in action for Newcastle in the pre-season
Huddersfield Town will not have to worry about striker Adam Armstrong this weekend as Newcastle United have recalled him from his loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.
The Terriers take on the Trotters at the Macron Stadium on Saturday in the FA Cup third round, but Phil Parkinson's options have just got smaller with the youngster heading back to the north east.
The England U20 international has been mainly utilised on the wing by the Bolton boss this season, netting three goals in 23 appearances for Town's cup competition.
Parkinson had previously spoken about his desire to hold on to his loanees, saying: "I want to keep all the loan players, I have had discussions with the relevant clubs and I'll continue to do so."
He will not be able to call upon Armstrong however, although it is believed the 20-year-old will be sent out on loan again this month, with the Newcastle Chronicle suggesting Armstrong is close to signing a loan deal with another north west side - Blackburn Rovers.

OPHI staff in Oxford conducted a training course on survey design, implementation and analysis for representatives of three successful teams that were awarded grants by OPHI and the Poverty and Economic Policy (PEP) network. The training preceded the three teams' implementation of OPHI's survey modules in parts of Chad, Nigeria and Sri Lanka. The surveys were designed to generate data on the Missing Dimensions and also to investigate the validity of the survey instruments in their particular countries. The course was created to familiarize the participants with academic research on survey design. This training also provided support to the participants' design of an integrated questionnaire, guidelines for implementation, Access database, as well as the identification of key research questions and strategies for data tabulation and analysis–all of which they drew upon when implementing the survey in their own countries.

How to Write a Student Profile
JENNY NEWBERRY
Student profiles are required under IDEIA (Individuals with Disabilities Educational Improvement Act) regulations for students identified as having special needs. This profile is included as part of the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) which is a document that addresses the specific needs of each special education student. This document is revised at least annually by an IEP team. The purpose of the profile statement in the IEP is to give an overview of the student's progress and a statement of how his needs are being addressed through provision of special education services. It is only one part of the IEP.
Write a paragraph that includes demographic information such as the student's name, the school he is presently attending, what grade he is in, whether or not he attends all classes in the general education setting and whether or not he receives support in the general education setting from special education teachers. If the student is new to the school, you could also include a sentence stating where he is transferring from.
Write a paragraph describing the strengths and needs of the student. This paragraph should describe what the student does well, and it does not need to be limited to academics. If the child has good rapport with teachers or gets along well with peers, it is appropriate to mention that in the paragraph. The needs statement should address academic deficits as well as physical or mental limitations that make it difficult for the student to participate fully in the educational process.
Write a paragraph describing how the student's disability affects his involvement in the general education setting. You could address curriculum modifications and teaching accommodations in this paragraph. Modifications are changes to what is being taught to the student or the level at which it is taught in relation to his peers. Accommodations do not change what is being taught or the level, but instead provide strategies to make the tasks easier for students to accomplish. For example, a visually impaired student may be provided textbooks with extra-large print, or a student with an orthopedic impairment may be given copies of class notes or outlines rather than being required to write them out himself.
List current test data results including the names of the assessments, the date the assessments were given and the student's scores. Also, list the student's current grade in each academic class.
Write a paragraph describing progress toward annual goals mastery and present level of performance. This final paragraph should also include any comments or concerns expressed by the student, his teachers or his parents. Beginning at age 16, a statement of transition also needs to be included.

Luci wins the Red Dot Award
Luxembourg for Tourism's (LFT) travel magazine Luci – Inspiring Travel Stories from Luxembourg has won the Red Dot Award in the Publishing & Print Media category. This is recognition for the design and shows that both the concept and the magazine hit home among LFT's target groups.
"This renowned award is an international benchmark in the world of design and communications. Being awarded the Red Dot is recognition for the work that we put in to reach and inspire a specific clientele – people looking for authentic experiences and relaxing moments, especially in the backdrop of the current crisis," says Dr Sebastian Reddeker, CEO of LFT.
The Luci travel magazine aims to bring its readers closer to the country in an inspiring and moving way. "Luci is part of LFT's new content strategy, and a component of an ambitious value proposition. We collaborated with talented writers and photographers, who conveyed to us their personal impressions of the places and the people who live there. In doing so, we tapped into Luxembourg's narrative and creative potential as a travel destination," says Valerio D'Alimonte, Head of Content & Communication at LFT and Editor-in-Chief of Luci.
"To follow the magazine's editorial path in a coherent manner, we came up with a timeless design enriched with eye-catching and emotionally charged images and stories from the heart," explains Guido Kröger, Creative Director of Luci.
The magazine is a hit with people
Rave reviews, including on social networks, bear witness to this:
"Today I received Luci. What a fantastic magazine! Beautiful pictures and so nice to read the stories/articles. I'll keep this and when we're having visitors over from Holland, I'll show it to them. It's a great start for them to make a plan to discover Lux. Thank you very much for the Luci!" (Maaike, Netherlands)
"The magazine looks great, and even my ten-year-old son Ole is interested in it. He absolutely loved the story about the bees." (Karen, Germany)
"Hi, I received my print edition of Luci on Monday and I just wanted to say that it's superb. Great photos, inspiring stories. Thank you, Tim." (Timothy, Luxemburg)
"Luci arrived yesterday and has already brightened the start to today. Full of wanderlust, yearning and musings about your beautiful and varied country. I really hope I can visit again soon." (@laureliusde, Germany)

Raytheon-Vista Cyber JV Adopts 'Forcepoint' Name, Seeks Focus on Internal Net Monitoring
in Cybersecurity News, Featured, General, News
by Ross Wilkers January 14, 2016, 11:30 am
The cybersecurity joint venture of Raytheon and technology investment firm Vista Equity Partners has passed the half-year mark since its mid-2015 launch and has entered the next chapter under a new identity.
Waltham, Mass.-based Raytheon, maker of Patriot missiles and other military weapons, made a large bet on the government and commercial cyber markets in April 2015 when it agreed to acquire majority control of Websense from Vista for nearly $2 billion in a transaction that included a $600 inter-company million loan toward the joint venture that started under the name of Raytheon | Websense.
As announced Thursday, the joint venture now operates under the name of "Forcepoint" with the goal to help government agencies and private businesses secure their networks from inside and outside threats and to embrace cloud computing, mobile and Internet of Things technologies with security in mind.
Forcepoint, headquartered in Austin, Texas, is 80-percent owned by Raytheon with the remaining stake held by Vista and has nearly 22,000 customers worldwide in the public and private sectors.
The venture's approach toward cybersecurity is to think beyond the concept of a strong firewall and instead shift focus toward asymetrical cyber activities and continuous monitoring of networks for both internal and external threats, Chief Strategy Officer Ed Hammersla has told ExecutiveBiz.
"It turns out in practice to be very difficult to keep people from getting in but once they're in you can deploy certain tools to discover their presence and eliminate harm," he added.
Hammersla, who also heads the venture's Herndon, Va.-based federal business unit, analogized cyber defense efforts to the healthcare arena in that networks will never have a perfect environment without breaches or other issues that affect their overall internal health.
"Just like human beings have to operate when we're not 100 percent in perfect health, organizations can operate at close-to-optimum even with challenges inside their networks.
Forcepoint has its own board of directors and financial reports are detailed as a separate business unit of Raytheon.
Raytheon and Vista started the venture under a founding thesis that sought to acknowledge the sophistication and scale of attacks enterprises are facing and to offer customers large platforms designed to handle that volume, Hammersla said.
"The joint venture was founded to recognize this as a long-term play with significant financial and R&D resources to come up with the right approach," he told ExecutiveBiz.
"Our approach is to show less emphasis on the perimeter and firewall and more on the internal workings of users, data and movement so we can detect unwanted intruders."

She is interested in pursuing a career in marketing, advertising public relations or event management her future. Shosh Bedrosian is a junior at Ithaca College enrolled in the Roy H.

In order to create satisfied employees, it is important for organizations to keep employees' needs in mind, and essential to provide work-life benefits that reflect the needs of the contemporary workforce. As illustration, the grocery store chain Wegmans has an overall mission to satisfy both the needs of their customers and their employees. Our interest was sparked by Wegmans because of their family-friendly environment, and because the overall atmosphere is filled with content and kind employees, which made us wonder, what's so great about this place? Wegmans has created a workplace environment that not only benefits their employees, but their customers too. Wegmans states that "To our customers and our people, we pledge continuous improvement and we make the commitment every day you get our best." These values and core principles make Wegmans an example of a company that cares for their employees' overall well-being.
According to the Journal of International Diversity, employee empowerment is a practice which allows workers to make judgments and decisions impacting their professional work environment, while also providing a sense of ownership over work. This acknowledges potential with respect to professional capabilities and ambitions to go above and beyond base responsibilities. If implemented effectively, the empowerment approach results in satisfied and productive workers. As an example, flexible scheduling allows for work life balance, and that flexibility is one of the main reasons employees choose to work for Wegmans and continue to stay at Wegmans.
At Wegmans, another motivating factor is that education is also a provided benefit for employees, in the way of up to $2,000 in scholarship funds. This system helps Wegmans by encouraging employees to use their education to work for Wegmans in a different way.
In 2017, Forbes named Wegmans number two on its list of 100 Best Companies to Work For, including it on the list for the 20th consecutive year. The availability of family-supportive policies, which are defined as programs or services that help make the management of everyday family responsibilities easier, enhances the attraction to job applicants, improves employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and ameliorates work-family conflict and absenteeism. Effectiveness results from easing the reconciliation of tensions that pull employees in competing directions as they try to fulfill their roles as workers and as family members. As Wegmans shows, employers who follow this model can have a competitive edge.
Some employers feel as if they cannot provide all of these benefits to their employees. According to a 2017 study in Australia, 74% of employers feel that flexible scheduling is too costly to implement. 56% feel flex scheduling can cause distractions to an organizations values and strategies. However, there are many resources to help companies implement change in a way that is most effective for both employers and employees.
In another form of supporting flexibility, Wegmans offers health coverage, dental coverage, and pre-tax spending accounts to both part-time and full-time employees. In the United States, 4.8 million people are part-time workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to the article Part-time work, work-life balance and gender equality, most people in the United States have full-time jobs because part-time jobs don't have the same benefits, like health insurance. Health insurance is expensive. The yearly average salary a person can make in New York state on a part-time job would be anything from $25,000 – $30,000. Employees on that salary would struggle to provide for a family. Wegmans currently pays 85% of healthcare costs for about 16,000 full-time employees and for part-time employees who work more than 24 hours per week.
Employees who work for Wegmans feel a sense of pride and balance in their work and family life compared to employees who work for other organizations. By providing these types of benefits, Wegmans is perceived as a more attractive company to work for and enhances employee satisfaction and overall motivation. Employee benefits like flexibility, education funding, and health coverage cater to the needs of a diverse workforce and represent appreciation of employees within an organization.

Welcome to Delaware Right...Moving Delaware Forward
This Says All you Need To Know About Sussex GOP Chairman Billy Carroll
by Frank Knotts on September 21, 2015 in Blog with 11 Comments Tweet
The following is the official response from the Chairman of the Sussex County GOP Committee, in regards to the Position Statement issued by three Republican Women's Organizations.
"To the Sussex County Republican Executive Committee, Republican Officials, and other interested parties:
This is in response to the public statements made recently concerning the complaints about alleged inappropriate comments made on a popular local radio station following the Rush Limbaugh show and Mr. Limbaugh's comments about Donald Trump and Megan Kelly.
While I did not hear the show itself, I have since learned that the local portion of the show included comments that the leadership of the Republican Women's clubs found offensive.
The Sussex County Republican Advisory Board at its last meeting, Monday, September 14th, unanimously agreed to examine alleged inappropriate comments and actions regarding the Women's clubs in Sussex County. We voted to request that a cd copy of the radio show be made available and that a code of public conduct be established for members of the Sussex County Republican Party.
Individual Board members of those clubs which authored the letter requested that their letter of complaint and the issues it contained be kept private and that it not be released to the news media.
In our Executive Board meeting which is open to the public and the media, we stated that we had received a letter from the Women's clubs and that we were taking appropriate action. We announced that we would establish a code of conduct as well.
However, since the State Chairman and the unanimous membership of the State Republican State Senate and State House of Representatives caucuses have made this issue public, I felt it appropriate to make our County response public as well.
The Sussex County Republican committee enjoys widespread support among all Republicans in the County. We will take whatever measures are appropriate to continue to have that support from individual Republicans as well as all elected officials and political clubs in the county.
No other Republican regional or County committee in the State of Delaware enjoys as much support and volunteer participation as we have here in Sussex County. The result of the good will enjoyed by all of our Republican clubs, committees and interest groups has resulted in unprecedented success for our candidates at the polls.
I am prepared to do whatever it takes to see that this controversy does not affect our elected officials, or our clubs and our committee.
If anyone has any questions they may call me at (302) 344-4639.
William F. "Billy" Carroll
Chairman Sussex County Republican Party"
So let me break this down for you. Let me start with this, "This is in response to the public statements made recently concerning the complaints about alleged inappropriate comments made on a popular local radio station following the Rush Limbaugh show and Mr. Limbaugh's comments about Donald Trump and Megan Kelly."
First of all, to call the Duke Brooks Show, "popular", leads one to question Mr. Carroll's judgement right from the beginning. But more telling is his use of the word alleged.
When he says, "This is in response to the public statements made recently concerning the complaints about alleged inappropriate comments". Alleged? Really? REALLY? WOW! So the audio has been posted here, played on The Susan Monday Show on 105.9, and still he hasn't had a chance to hear it. Again, REALLY?
Also notice he seems to be speaking only about the Monday afternoon episode, which only contained the Fred Silva comments, Mr. Carroll seems to be ignoring the Friday episode which contained Bruce Fitzgerald and Tom Jordan, and the fact that both were hosted by Duke Brooks, all members of Mr. Carroll's committee, and also was the episode in which he was in studio campaigning for the chairmanship of the committee, all while many of these statements were made.
While I did not hear the show itself? He was a part of the Friday fest of female bashing. Notice also he says, "the leadership of the Republican Women's clubs found offensive". Not that he found it offensive, oh, that's right, he hasn't heard it yet. Right.
"The Sussex County Republican Advisory Board at its last meeting, Monday, September 14th, unanimously agreed to examine alleged inappropriate comments and actions regarding the Women's clubs in Sussex County."
OH MY GOD HE SAID ALLEGED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
"We voted to request that a cd copy of the radio show be made available and that a code of public conduct be established for members of the Sussex County Republican Party."
How hard should it be to get a cd copy of the show? I mean how long does it take for Duke Brooks to edit the tape to release? Let me assure all concerned, while we put up audio cuts from the show, we have a complete recording of the show unedited. Go ahead Duke edit away friend.
I will not say one-hundred percent that this is not true, but I have it from a reliable source that this request was not made, Mr. Carroll simply was hoping to keep this behind closed doors.
Translation? Since everyone else was condemning the behavior I had no choice but to issue some weak, noncommittal statement.
"The Sussex County Republican committee enjoys widespread support among all Republicans in the County."
Can someone up Mr. Carroll's meds? First of all, using the qualifier "all" when talking about the "widespread support" from Republicans within Sussex for that Committee, may not be the best choice of words if you want to be taken seriously.
"We will take whatever measures are appropriate to continue to have that support from individual Republicans as well as all elected officials and political clubs in the county."
Really? Because I know quite a few Republicans within the County that expect the members of the Committee who said these things to resign, or to be voted out of the Committee, are you going to do that Mr. Carroll? Or is this just another attempt to placate the people upset by the language and behavior that you sat by and allowed to go unchallenged, while being interviewed as a candidate to be Chairman of the Committee?
"No other Republican regional or County committee in the State of Delaware enjoys as much support and volunteer participation as we have here in Sussex County. "
Mr. Carroll, just because you fill seats with fellow travelers for Committee meetings does not mean your Committee is successful. The Sussex County GOP Committee has donated $0.00 to Republican candidates since 2010. The Sussex GOP raised $0.00 last month. The Sussex GOP is spending $1,100.00 on average per month and will run out of money in about four months. So I guess all of that widespread support you were talking about does not equate into actual monetary support, now does it?
" The result of the good will enjoyed by all of our Republican clubs, committees and interest groups has resulted in unprecedented success for our candidates at the polls."
Again, the Sussex GOP Committee has had nothing to do with that success, this is almost word, for word rhetoric that Mr. Carroll must have picked up from hanging out with Duke Brooks.
I ask again, does this include asking for the resignation of those involved? Duke Brooks, Bruce Fitzgerald, Tom Jordan, Fred Silva and maybe even yourself.
And finally, "If anyone has any questions they may call me at (302) 344-4639."
I suggest Republicans, "ALL" Republicans call Mr. Carroll and "TELL" him that these men most go, that the Republicans of Sussex County will not tolerate this behavior, and will not tolerate those who would protect those who perpetrated it.
I had hoped for more from a new Chairman, I hadn't expected it considering Mr. Carroll's associates, but I had hoped. This statement demonstrates, in my opinion, that he is willing to try and protect these men, to allow them to stay in the Committee. I hope that this will not be tolerated by Sussex Republican voters.
While I am on the topic of those who have been slow in responding to this issue, the Delaware House Republican Caucus has finally issued a response just today. I guess Sen. Bryant Richardson doesn't look so slow after all.
" To: Sussex County GOP Officers:
Mr. Billy Carroll, Chairman
Mr. Fred Silva, Vice Chairman
Mrs. Vicki Carmean, Treasurer
Ms. Linda Creasy, Secretary
RD Chairs of Sussex County GOP
FR: House Minority Leader Rep. Danny Short
House Minority Whip Rep. Deborah Hudson
CC: Sussex County Republican Women's Club
Seaford Republican Women's Club
Delaware Federation of Republican Women
RE: Statement from House Republicans to the Sussex County Republican
In light of recent gender attacks made on the radio by certain individuals representing
the Sussex County Republican Committee, the House Republican Caucus supports the
efforts of the Sussex County Republican Women's Club, the Seaford Republican
Women's Club and the Delaware Federation of Republican Women in urging that a
Republican Code of Conduct be developed. This standard code would be for all GOP
office-holders and elected officials, re-affirming that our party will not tolerate
abusive rhetoric.
We stand with these Republican women's organizations and share their belief that
"there is no place for gender attacks, harassment, intimidation, and bullying within
our party." We believe that the Delaware Republican Party must continue to strive
to be an organization dedicated to thoughtful public policy that embraces
conservative values and enhances the lives of all citizens."
I will allow this statement to speak for itself.
And one last thing to point out. National Republican Committee "WOMAN" Ellen Barrosse has been silent on this issue, even though she was one of the first to be made aware of the Position Statement's existence. We have now heard from the Delaware Republican Chairman, The State Republican Senate Caucus, in dribs and drabs, we have now heard from the House Republican Caucus, we have even heard from the Sussex GOP Committee Chair Billy Carroll, and still, Ms. Barrosse remains silent on an issue that directly affects the women of the Republican Party and its ability to attract, not only women to the party, but all rational right thinking people. Sad, and disappointing Ms. Barrosse.
Oh, by the way Mr. Carroll, in case you have trouble getting one of the "alleged" person to give you a copy of the audio, then just click on this Delaware Right link and listen for yourself, if you have the courage.

11 Comments on "This Says All you Need To Know About Sussex GOP Chairman Billy Carroll"
I was in my car the Friday that Duke had Billy on the radio. I was flipping stations and heard Billy Carroll was going to be on, so I stayed tuned. I stayed, because I was aware of the coming election, but did not know what Billy was all about. I learned very quickly.
The calls were coming in and Duke knew them all. referring to them as buddy and other knowing terms. Well, It was obvious that the boys got together and made a plan on how they were going to get their weakling buddy Billy elected. I say weakling, because Billy said nothing while these boys bashed woman. I wonder what happened to these poor lads that got them in such a fury over the opposite sex? Anyway, as they whined and complained about the Woman supporting a woman, because she was a woman, I wondered how these boys, supporting a boy, because he is a boy, came to the conclusion that the woman were just like them, sexist! I've been listening and reading and yet I find no evidence of sexist woman, only sexist boys.
So, why did the woman take a stand? My assumption is that because they are fed up with boys like Duke, Fred, Billy, Tom, and whomever else, Doing nothing while they hold the fund raisers, host debates, provide politicians platforms and give them money.
So, weakling Billy, what are you going to do? I as a voter want you to:
1. Hold a vote on getting rid of these little boys
2. Tell us what you're going to do in your role to help the GOP (since you and your ilk have done nothing)
3. Do Good!
Fantastic job dissecting this non-apology. The only thing I think you could have been more explicit about was that Carroll makes it blatantly obvious that the ONLY reason he is issuing this apology is to keep people from jumping ship. It's implied in your analysis, but really needs to be brought home, in my opinion.
Ha! says:
Thanks for tipping your hand with the knock on Ellen!
http://www.delawaregrapevine.com/4-12GOPconvention.asp
Frank Knotts says:
Dear Ha, your use of Ms. Barrosse's first name and the link you chose demonstrates a certain closeness with her. Obviously it is you who has tipped your hand. You show that though you may be a person of some influence within the party, you choose to hide you identity. Maybe because like the men who actually said these things, you feel women should be demure, soft spoken housekeepers for their men.
My only knock on Ellen Barrosse is that as the Delaware National Committeewoman for the Republican Party, in an election year that could see one or both major parties with a women at the top of the ticket, it seems odd that Ms. Barrosse has not come out in defense of the Republican women's clubs who were attacked.
But this is the problem with single issue people after all.
delacrat says:
"… alleged inappropriate comments made on a popular local radio station following the Rush Limbaugh show"
Well, there you have it. The Rush Limbaugh who popularized the term "feminazi", referred to a woman arguing for mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives as a "slut", is on the same radio station as these gentlemen.
Wonder if Bill Carroll, Frank Knotts and the 3 Republican women's organizations will go after the big tuna, once they catch their 3 minnows?
pandora says:
Alleged:
: accused of having done something wrong or illegal but not yet proven guilty
: said to have happened but not yet proven
His use of this word is interesting, no? Either he is saying it can't be proved to have happened, or what was said hasn't been proven to be wrong/inappropriate.
What comes through with his use of the phrase "alleged inappropriate comments" is that he doesn't find the comments inappropriate. He's acting as if there's another way to view these comments that makes them… appropriate? That they haven't been proven to be inappropriate?
Delacrat, you may find this hard to believe, but I have not listened to Rush Limbaugh for over three years or more. That is how you "go after" people who rely on ratings. Big tunas or minnows.
Good catch Pandora. Maybe he is waiting for the investigation. Or maybe he is wondering what was inappropriate about the remarks. Regardless, it is useful when folks speak their minds. It gives everyone a glimpse about what's inside. Silva and Brooks were actually performing a public service by giving everyone insight into those dark recesses.
waterpirate says:
That press release was a carefully crafted document that really says nothing, admits nothing, acknowledges nothing, and was written by the offenders themselves. Political spin at its worst IMHO. I urge all R's in the state who do not believe their " follow 3 steps behind me crap " to hold them and the EC to the fire!
Pat McGroin says:
(What Would Priscilla Do)
She would stand proud with the Women's Clubs and the Caucus' too. That's back in the day when we were a Party with leadership.
I wonder if there is any threshold of embarrassment in the party?
