Should Nuclear Weapons Be Outlawed Worldwide?
Jeziel Avila Should Nuclear Weapons be Outlawed Worldwide? Imagine having dinner with your family and it's your daughter's turn to say grace... you sit there just think to yourself how proud you are of her. But then all of a sudden alarms start ringing. The P.S.A comes on the television and you are instructed to get under tables or in the basement. You hear a slight whistle out in the distance. It's getting louder and louder and louder. Then poof...anyone or thing within an eight kilometer radius is vaporized. Everyone is always under constant threat of this happening to them! Nuclear weapons need to be outlawed worldwide! The use of any Nuclear Weapon would result in horrible consequences. The aftermath would be too brutal to where no aid from any other country would be possible, the radiation would remain for many years to come and would cause suffering and even death. If three bombs the same size as that of the Hiroshima bombings were exploded on cities in the United States we would have more casualties than we had Killed in Action in World War II. If two countries were to go into Nuclear Warfare and 100 Hiroshima sized bombs were used, we would create climate change like none ever experienced before. There are things we could do to stop this. Armed Warheads are a constant danger and threat for everyone everywhere. They are constantly causing mistrust between governments and causing fear to its civilians. These weapons of terror and mass destruction have no legitimate military or strategic utility. Since the end of the Cold War more than 40,000 warheads have been unarmed, but the reasoning for keeping them remains the same. Countries still plead the idea of "nuclear deterrence", which basically lets you keep your warheads t... ... middle of paper ... ...ss than 0.1% of the explosive yield of the current global nuclear arsenal to bring about devastating agricultural collapse and widespread famine. The smoke and dust from fewer than 100 Hiroshima-sized nuclear explosions would cause an abrupt drop in global temperatures and rainfall. Annotated Bibliography Robock, Alan.

Banishment of Nuclear Weapons
Albert Einstein once said, "The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe" (Krieger 4). The debate over the moral and life threatening potential of nuclear weapons has been in question since the first bomb was detonated almost eight decades ago. Nuclear weapons seem rightly owned by the world's superpowers in order to ensure protection, yet it is feared that nuclear weapons are the horrible remnant of the Cold War that may still potentially cause unilateral destruction. It has been proposed by several benevolent world powers, that nuclear weapons should be banned from the arsenal of all countries who own them, and any country that does not contain nuclear weapons should cease martial nuclear research immediately. In banning nuclear weapons, one beneficial factor would be the elimination of the immense cost that comes with them.
The Social Impact of the Atomic Bomb
When there is a weapon that can level an entire city and killing 66,000 people while injuring 69,000 people (atomicarhive.com) with long term health effects, people will obviously be scared. People fear that there won't be a future for humankind. If a nuclear war were to happen, half a country to an entire country can easily be destroyed to the point where it becomes inhabitable due to radiation. Through a Stanford University psychological study of young survivors of World War II, it has been found that almost half the subjects surveyed believe that a nuclear war will result in the complete annihilation of humankind (Koschin and Kabachenko 4). The study also found that "95 percent [of the subjects] expressed a serious concern about the danger of war and 44 percent lived in fear, waiting for war" (Koschin and Kabachenko 2).

Peeping Tom caught watching 14-year-old change clothes
By Charly Edsitty
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The mother of a 14-year-old girl says her daughter was in the middle of getting dressed for school when she noticed a strange man watching her through a window.
"It's very sad. It's very sad to know that in our day we can't even have our own privacy," the mother told ABC 13 Eyewitness News.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, said the incident happened at her home near Lumpkin Road on March 20 around 7 a.m.
"She noticed this guy through her window looking at her and that's when we noticed there was somebody in our backyard," the mother said.
The teen then yelled for her older brother, who also saw the man, before going towards the backyard.
"He ran after him, but the guy pretty much jumped over the fence, actually several fences, and fled the scene," the mother described.
The woman says her daughter is doing okay, but the family is on edge about what happened.
She filed a police report almost a week after the incident, and is hoping by sharing her story other people can keep themselves safe.
Eyewitness News obtained surveillance video of a man who neighbors believe may be the alleged peeper.
Since the Houston Police Department has not officially named a suspect, the man's identity cannot be released.
The footage was captured by a neighbor, who claims a man was also in his backyard and roaming around his driveway on the same morning of the peeping incident.
The mother of the victim says she also showed the footage to officers when she filed her report on Tuesday.
Houston Police says they're looking into the incident and urge the public to always call 911 as soon as an incident occurs.
Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area last Wednesday morning should contact police.

Along with the widely known sponsors and patrons who have supported the restoration processes of the palace, other well-wishers must be mentioned who have given us items, information and advice, participated in joint work at the palace, or given public speeches or played music. Dr. Gerhard Wulffius (Germany), a descendant of Biron family, during all his life has been collecting information about items that belonged to the dukes of Courland. His donation – an oak-wood bookcase from duke's library – can be seen now in Rundāle Palace and has served as a model for eleven copies. Highly valuable is the information about family portraits; very significant is his contribution to the communication with the members of Biron family. The first arrival of the Biron family in the Rundāle Palace took place on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Duke Ernst Johan (1990). In the course of time the ties have become closer; communication with less known family members has expanded. At the celebration of the 275th birthday of the castle (2011), the family arrived not only from Germany, France, Finland and Sweden, but also from Canada, South America and South Africa. Günter Brüninghaus (Finland) contributed to the unification of the family and gathering of information. The head of the family the Prince of Courland Ernst Johann Biron (Germany) regularly supports restoration. With his financial support duke's parade bedroom parquetry was restored, the restoration of the audience room was completed, copies of the library cabinet were made, paintings were purchased and other projects carried out. The Prince of Courland Michael Biron (Germany) regularly supports the implementation of small projects.
Boris Teterev's support for the Rundāle Palace began in 1997 with the restoration of the duchess's boudoir, where works were stopped due to lack of money. In the following years, he financed the restoration of the Duchess's Dressing Room and Bedroom, and the restoration of Duke's Study and Dressing Room. Between 2010 and 2014 Boris and Ināra Teterev Foundation grant program "Completion of the Rundāle Palace restoration" was implemented, which allowed to open for the visitors the fully restored Billiard Room, the second study of the Duke, Library and the Grand Gallery. The restoration of the Library ceiling painting began with the support of the State Inspection for Heritage Protection under the Ministry of Culture, Aizkraukles Banka and the funds of the World Monuments Fund – the ceiling painting was first strengthened. Boris and Ināra Teterevs Foundation financed the refinement, retouching and full restoration of the room. The restoration of the Grand Gallery paintings in 2011 was supported by Skonto Būve. Gradually, retouching and lost elements were returned. The complete restoration of the Grand Gallery was completed in 2014. The production of parquetry, panels and doors for the Italian Salon in 1998 and 2000 was funded by firms Robert Bosch and Centra Jaunzemji. The restoration of the southern facade and the renovation of the stairs (1999/2000) were sponsored by Headley Trust.
The reconstruction of the boiler house and the modernization of the heating system were supported by "Løgstør Rør" and "Bek-Konsult". We received a great deal of response when the storm damage had to be repaired in 1995 – the roof over the Duke's Reception Room was ruined. Roof renovation was supported by the "Soros Foundation-Latvia". Forestry supplied planks for roofing.
For five years Rundāle Palace Rose Garden was financed by "Latvijas Mobilais Telefons". However, it would not be possible without the assistance of many volunteers who helped with the complicated work of digging rose pits. In the first two years alone, around 1800 people worked in the garden. Particularly important was the support of the Latvian National Armed Forces. Tulips and other bulbous plants are regularly donated for the Dutch basset by Jaco van Rijssel (Netherlands). Since 1978, various institutions and individuals have taken part in the renovation of the garden. Students from the student corporation "Gundega" regularly participate in joint work in the garden. In 2005, "Kemira GrowHow" contributed their support. Particularly mentioned should be the gifts and dedications of the breeders and collectors – Aivars Baroniņš for dahlia 'Rundāles pils', Juris Švarcs for tulip 'Rundāle Palace' and André Ève (France) for rose 'Château de Rundāle'. Austris Plaudis worked on the selection of the greenhouse rose 'Rundāles pils'. The employees of the National Botanic Garden of Latvia continue to provide support and advice and give lectures at the Garden Festivals.
Various restoration works were supported by Count Serge von der Pahlen, Baron Georg Alexander von Engelhardt, Mamerts Vaivads, "Puses" Ltd and "Dresdner Bank".
Restoration of exhibits and particular museum publications are regularly supported by the United Foundation of Courland Knighthood (Germany). The restoration of the sarcophagi of the ducal vault has been supported by Dr. Rüdiger Zellentin (Germany), Baron Nicolas von Behr (Germany), Biron family and Latvia State Culture Capital Foundation.
Doing the carving protection program, significant contribution was received from the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry and "Römer Biotec" (Germany).
The purchase of exhibits was sponsored by Robert and Dagnija Rūsis, Ernst Johann Biron, Prince of Courland, and Baroness Benigna von Twickel.
The articles and books have been given by: Jolanta Zariņa, Jānis Strupulis, Valdis Villerušs, Edīte Jansone, Ilga Kreicberga, Aija Celtniece-Blite, Viktors Astaņins, Sandra Kalniete, Kārlis Baumanis (Latvia), Maija and Māris Zuikas (USA), Karina Orlova (St. Petersburg), Povilas Šverebas (Lithuania), Baron Ulrich von Behr and Count Hagen Lambsdorff (Germany), Countess Anna de Bagneux (France) and Günter Brüninghaus (Finland). Books owned by minister Roberts Feldmanis were handed over to the museum by the library of the consistory of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia.
Regular additions to the museum library are received from Renate Adolphi, Friedrich Blum and Princess Elizabeth Biron of Courland (Germany).
Since 1997, the publishing activities of the museum have been regularly sponsored by Benita von Egen (Germany), she has also given the museum a relic of the family. The publishing of catalogues in 1997 was supported by the Baltic Association of Knighthoods and the Wilhelm Hirte Foundation.
Businessman Aldis Pauga has regularly supported helicopter flights to take aerial photographs.
Dr. Burkhardt Göres and Wassilissa Pachomowa-Göres (Germany) were advisors during the creation of the museum collection and dealing with restoration issues applying the experience of the Prussian palace association.
Cooperation with the State Hermitage Museum and the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Peterhof, Catherine Castle in Carskoye Selo and Pavlovsk Castle, the State Historical Museum in Moscow and the palaces of Kuskovo, Ostankino and Arkhangelsk were very important at the beginning of the castle restoration and museum construction. Good cooperation has been established with the employees of the Gattschina Palace.
At the beginning of the restoration of the palace, the Russian restoration school was important – the restorers of easel-painting, ceramics and textiles of the Rundāle Palace Museum studied restoration in Moscow; restorers from St. Petersburg worked in the Rundāle Palace Museum. Now cooperation with Czech restorers has developed.
It was important to work in the Russian archives, collecting information about the construction of the castle and the duke's exile. Work on the theme of the Duchy of Courland, contacts with countries and places where the duke's possessions and objects were located came into being. In Poland, with the Żagań, the Wroclaw Museum and the Jelenia Góra Archives, in the Czech Republic – with the Castle of Ratibořice, the Náchod Palace, the Pardubice Archives and writer Helen Sobkov, in Germany – with the Museum of Posterstein Palace, Sabine and Klaus Hoffmann, and the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin. In France, friendly relations are mainly with the descendants of the Biron family. The exhibition about the Duchy of Courland in Marais Palace was also exhibited in Versailles Town Hall in 2005.
Klas Lackschewitz (Germany) took up the German-language publication of series "House that does not exist" earlier published in "Māksla +" magazine.

Kinyongia magomberae je vrsta kameleonov, ki so jo odkrili leta 2009 v Tanzaniji.

Holotip vrste je znanstvenik Andrew Marshall iz Univerze v Yorku našel po naključju. Med raziskovanjem v gozdu Magombera je prestrašil drevesno kačo, ki je iz ust izpustila kameleona, za katerega se je kasneje izkazalo, da je povsem nova vrsta. Prvi primerek ob odkritju ni bil živ, kasneje pa so raziskovalci našli še enega živega.

This always is a time of reflection and investors should not be in any different. As we all saw in December, the market won't always be in our favor. The stock market and interest rates are items an investor cannot influence. So, let's focus on actions that are within our control for 2019.
If you are a saver (retirement, college, emergency funds, other) how much did you save last year? Is it more than 2017? Will 2019 be even more? As a simple rule of thumb, you should try to save 10% of your salary toward retirement. I tell clients that should be before taxes and not after to make the math simpler. If you are saving for other items that goes on top of the 10%. When you have the total savings divide the amount by your total income. If you are below 10%, try to get there for next year, 10-20% on target, and over 20% you are a star performer! See if you can increase that percent for 2019.
Another opportunity you have is to increase the amount that you contribute to your retirement accounts especially if you are turning 50 this year. The contribution limits all went up for 2019…..Individual Retirement Accounts (and ROTHs) moved up to $6,000 from $5,500 with the $1,000 catch up for workers over 50. 401(k) or similar retirement plans also moved up to $19,000 from $18,500 while the catch-up contribution remains at $6,000. SIMPLE IRA's moved up to $13,000 from $12,500 with a $3,000 catch-up limit. Health Savings Accounts had a modest increase in $3,500 for individuals and $7,000 for family coverage.
Now on the opposite situation, if you are withdrawing money from your retirement accounts, how did 2018 compare to 2017? Do you have a budget for 2019? Making sure your retirement funds will last into your 90's is important for investors. You also should make sure you are withdrawing funds from the right accounts to be tax efficient. You must take the required minimum distributions (RMD) from your pre-tax retirement account if you are over 70 ½ , but if you need additional funds then understand if those funds should come from a taxable account or a ROTH account is important.
Investors can control is how much risk (also known as equities) they have in the stock market. What was your investor sentiment during December? Did you check your account on a daily basis as the market moved lower and lower? Ready to go to all cash? How did you feel the day after Christmas with a 1,000 point rise in the Dow? If you were losing sleep in December, you may need to increase the amount of bonds or less risky investments in your portfolio. However, more important you need to know how long your investment time horizon is. If your investments need to last longer than ten years, then having a portion in the stock market for growth makes sense. Bill discussed asset allocation last week in his column…….
On the opposite side of the balance sheet, how did you control your debt in 2018? Mortgage payments, credit cards, car loans, student loans can all take cash that could be going toward meeting your investment goals. Always have a plan to reduce your debt and keep it in control.
So, going into 2019, do not fixate on the ups and downs of the market. Instead have an understanding of your cash flows and your investment mix to achieve your financial goals. If you need any assistance with that, let us know.

2023: Tinubu/Pam ticket will address religious, ethnic questions – Northern group

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC Presidential candidate
Sun, 10 Jul 2022 6:21:15 WAT
A group under the aegis of Northern Professors Association has asked the top echelon of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to pick the executive secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), The Rev Yakubu Pam as running mate to the party's presidential candidate for the 2023 poll, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The professors argued that Pam's nomination would address the religious and ethnic questions needed to position the APC for electoral success in 2023.
2023: We're praying for Tinubu not to be treated like Abiola – Ladoja
16 die, 4 rescued in Lagos tragedies
The group in a statement yesterday and co-signed by Prof Kakuta Yaki and Prof Ibrahim Shuaibu, noted that the conclusion was a product of an extensive research work by professors from diverse backgrounds in politics, history and international relations.
"Pam is the most suitable candidate for the APC because of his rich pedigree and numerous contributions to the entrenchment of peace and unity in the northern region. He commands respect amongst the northern elite and clerics.
"His leadership footprints cut across different segments and sectors of the northern region; hence his nomination as the vice presidential candidate of the APC would indeed boost the chances of the party in the 2023 presidential election," the scholars stated.

I decided to offer my own free invitation-only pre-conference instead, and the Free-Con was born. I wanted to make sure I didn't compete with the paid pre-con sessions in any way, so I ran mine on Sunday, a day before the paid ones. I emailed about a dozen bloggers from various walks of life and said, "Get your free-con." I really wish I could have invited a huge number of people, but for the first draft of this experiment, I wanted to keep it a very small group. I really like the chemistry that a 15-person group seems to produce: just big enough to create small pockets of discussion, yet small enough that everyone can get to know everyone else's viewpoints.
Seattle native Kendra Little (Blog – @KendraLittle) offered to help pick the location and arrange the food, and frankly, she did a better job of that than I did on the presentations! We gathered at the Richard Hugo House, a downtown Seattle spot for writers to improve their craft, and I performed in the cabaret. We feasted on healthy and tasty local food – well, except for the Trophy cupcakes brought by Yanni Robel (Blog – @YanniRobel), which were just tasty.
No SQL Server talk here – we'll get enough of that during the PASS Summit this week. Instead, we covered topics like how the employment market is changing, how to create and manage your personal brand, how to work with vendors and publishers, how consultants achieve a work/life balance, and why content creators are so valuable.
This event really reinforced to me that the most valuable things you can get from a conference are the conversations from people who share your troubles and beliefs. I left inspired to do more work to help more people achieve their dreams, and empowered by thoughts from people like Karen Lopez, John Robel, and Steve Jones who challenge me to do a better job.
The Free-Con is still too fresh in my mind to know if it was a real success – the real proof will be seen in what the attendees took away from it. I'm going to be following up with them over the coming months, challenging some of them to take their online persona to the next level, and challenging others to mentor bloggers, presenters, and podcasters. If I think it helped (and especially if they tell me it helped) then I'll do one at Connections next spring too.
Sounds like you had a super cool free-con. I wish I could have been there. Maybe I can catch one in the future.
Hopefully you are doing the same again, and that there are chances to join you.
Oh wow, that's Karen Lopez (DataChick), Grant Fritchey, Steve Jones, etc.
Edwin – sorry, I had to limit it to a very small number of people to make the chemistry work. It wasn't open to the public. The more people you put into a session, the harder it is to have interactive discussions with the whole room involved – it turns into a panel discussion in front of a huge audience. Panel discussions are totally fine and I enjoy those too, but that's what PASS is for. This was a different kind of experience.
Thanks for coming! It was great to have you & John there.
Following the "He who dares wins" ethos … Can I get my name down REALLY early for any Free-Cons you do in the UK please? Having seen your short sessions at SQLBitsV I'd love to get in on a whole day.
Hey Brent. It was helpful. Very. We'll see how it changes stuff over time, but I took away a ton of good info. Thanks so much for putting it on. I'd love to do it again.
Hey Brent, please do consider more of us (or more sessions like this) for Dev Connections round. This sounds great. I attended the session by Kendall Van Dyke at PASS and thought that was very helpful too.


LISA has become a member of YG's new girl group, following JENNIE.
On June 8, YG unveiled photos of the second member of the new girl group. LISA is 19 years old and she has been trained by YG for the past five years. She is known to be fluent not only in Thai, but also in Korean, English, and Japanese.
LISA has a big interest in dancing and she danced in a crew when she was young. LISA released her dance video on YG's official blog in 2012, to draw big attention.
LISA also worked as a model for global young street casual fashion brand "NONA9ON" established by YG and Samsung C&T Fashion, along with iKON's B.I and BOBBY from even before her debut. LISA's perfect proportion and exotic visual drew big attention.
In the photos newly released by YG, LISA is boasting her face of a mysterious feeling and perfect legs.
YG has been unveiling the members of new girl group one by one every week since June 1. First, YG unveiled seven photos of the first member JENNIE, to officially confirm her as the member of the new girl group. In 2013, JENNIE performed with G-DRAGON for his comeback performance for the second full-length album.
YG announced that the new girl group will officially debut in this coming July. As the group is the first girl group in seven years since debut of 2NE1, the new team is drawing keen attention. Music fans' interest is growing even bigger, as it is known that TEDDY is leading the preparation for the girl group's debut as the producer.
Music fans are expressing big anticipation for if YG's new girl group will be able to become the next-generation top girl group to follow the footsteps of 2NE1.


minuet of life: Annihilate Temper!
How many times have we muttered unnecessary words when we're angry? When the tension is high and we are wronged, it's very easy to be distracted and be cross. Communication will be hugely impaired and a loving heart will quickly switch into a battle mode. This is war, we tell ourselves.
Everyone does it so that's the norm. That's the way of the world. But we Christians who have been saved by God's amazing grace should act differently. How can we handle conflicts in a Godly way?
According to the bible, we have to note these 3 key rules. They are accompanied with some verses to support how important it is to follow these directions.
He who answers before listening—that is his folly and his shame. The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.
Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs.
That's all about it. Simple and easy. True to Jesus principles, be proactive and reach out to empathize with people first. Listen to their reasons, recognize their needs, and be aware of their emotions. Keep reminding ourselves to be quick on trying to understand people, and slow on letting our opinions out. I believe there's no conflict that can't be solved with the above 3 principles.
Even if you are angry, remember, be loving still. Familiarize yourself with a Godly anger that hates wickedness, but with a compassionate heart that seeks to understand others first.
Have patience and keep your thoughts level-headed. Wrap tightly around your heart all those mercy, kindness, etc and never leave them lying flat doing nothing at home! God's mercy is like a flood that has washed away all our sins. Extend that mercy to people who wronged us and be at peace!
Listen first, be understood later.

07/12/2008 - Moorfurlong Mine - Ladder is Knackered!
The ladder on the Moorfurlong entrance pitch is now completely knackered and not safe to use. It's completely detached at the top, the mid-point join is broken on one side and the bottom has buckled. If you want a trip down there take a scaff bar, sling and and SRT rope or wire ladder. A 20m rope or 15m ladder will see you to the bottom.

09/11/2008 - Flower Pot entrance to Carlswark Cavern re-opened
The Flower Pot entrance to Carlswark Cavern was initially dug from the surface in the 1990s by members of the Keyhole Caving Club. The entrance leads into the Dynamite Series and was opened to bypass the rest of the Cavern, making it easier to reach a dig at the end of Picnic Passage. In 2008 the entrance suffered a collapse and Eldon members Jon Pemberton, Sam Pemberton and James Wood have led the effort to re-open it. The new entrance should last for many years and provides an interesting route into this part of the Cavern. Click [here] for Jon Pemberton's full report on the re-opening of the Flower Pot entrance.

13/10/2008 - Bagshawe Resurgence Connected to Bagshawe Cavern.
On Saturday 11th October Bagshawe Resurgence was connected to Bagshawe Cavern. Simon Cornhill and John Taylor broke through the dig in the resurgence by levering and breaking boulders at a depth of three metres forty metres into sump two. As soon as open passage was gained a line reel was found three metres ahead. The reel was Simon Brooks' who had reeled a line into the sump from the Windy Passage end of Bagshawe Cavern in 1998. This discovery not only proves the connection to Bagshawe but also eases the exploration of an upstream continuation of the sump. The breakthrough is a culmination of thirty years of exploration in this sump by many divers including Jerry Murland, Steve Tucker, Russell Carter, John Cordingley, Andy Morrison, Simon Brooks and Jim Lister. The next task is to locate the main underwater passage and the way on upstream.
02/10/2008 - Bad Air at the bottom of Nettle Pot, Derbyshire.
On a trip down Nettle Pot, Dan Hibberts and Bob Toogood encountered bad air (most likely raised CO2 levels) in the area of Red River Passage. Be careful down there! Jules Barrett
19/09/2008 - Flower Pot entrance to Carlswark run-in.
The Flower Pot entrance to Carlswark Cavern has run-in. Plans are afoot to re-open the entrance. Contact Sam Pemberton, John Pemberton or James Wood for more information. Jules Barrett
07/09/2008 - New door and lock for the Coe at Bagshawe Cavern.
A new door and pushbutton combination lock has been fitted to the Coe at Bagshawe Cavern. The door and lock have been provided by the Peak Instructed Caving Affiliation (PICA). Jules Barrett
31/07/2008 - Sam's Dig in Bagshawe Cavern has 'gone'.
On July 31st 2008, after 4 years of digging, Sam Townsend and Bog Bergmann, accompanied by Dave Cowley, John Taylor, Jules Barrett, Sam Pemberton and Jon Pemberton pushed up through the choke in 'Sams Dig' into a large rift chamber. Named "Paternity's Fault" after the fact that nearly all the diggers have had children during the course of the dig, which has been a bit of a hindrance. Sam and Jules free climbed an estimated 50 metres up the rift (a bit like the West Swirl Passage in Oxlow, but steeper). Unbelievably - the rift looks to be blind at the top. There looks to be a floor level continuation that draughts but it's going to require some serious digging. Since the discovery work has been done to stabilise the choke which was in danger of running in. Anchors and fixed ropes have been installed to the top of the aven and the next job is to survey the new find. Sam Townsend
01/06/2008 - Roof of Coe at Bagshawe Cavern.
Andy Norman and John Taylor have begun work to replace the roof on the Coe at Bagshawe Cavern. On Saturday 31st May the roof was removed and the old timbers replaced. New timbers were installed and work began on fixing new slates. Jules Barrett
01/06/2008 - WARNING - Carbon Monoxide at Long Rake Mine, Bradwell Moor.
On the weekend of 24/25 May 2008 two cavers were taken seriously ill with Carbon monoxide poisoning in Long Rake Mine on Bradwell Moor. The source of the Carbon Monoxide is not known and DCA are advising that cavers should not descend Long Rake until further notice. Jules Barrett
01/05/2008 - Bagshawe Cavern Entrance Stope Project complete.
The work that members of the Eldon Pothole Club have been doing at Bagshawe Cavern to address the issues raised by the PICA inspection of October 2007 is now finished. The concrete slabs are in place and Martyn Grayson has installed a mesh grille over the hole in the steps. A series of photgraphs of the work has been send to PICA for distribution to members. Jules Barrett
28/04/2008 - Work at Bagshawe continues apace.
A working evening is being planned for Thursday 1st May 08 in the Bagshawe Cavern entrance stope and we need your help! With the final shuttering complete we plan to mix concrete and cast the third of the five concrete slabs that are needed to finish the job in the stope. To make this happen we need around nine cavers to mix concrete, man the zipwires which will be used to transport the concrete down the steps and pour the concrete into the shuttering. Preparatory work will begin at 5:30 p.m. and we hope to have the zipwires humming by 7:30 p.m. Bring lightweight caving gear and gloves. The Eldon MGM will be held in the White Hart after work has finished. Sam Townsend
26/02/2008 - Collapse of Stemples in Carlswark Cavern
Some stemples have collapsed in Carlswark Cavern. Click [here] for a survey showing the site of the collapse. Some old wooden stemples that were put in to support poised boulders in the roof have fallen out. There has been a small rock fall but that has been cleared and the route into the Lower Streamway/John Smith's Passage is still open. Four wooden stemples have fallen out and the only one that remains is a weedy piece of angle iron that isn't doing anything useful. There are three large poised blocks around 1.5m above the floor of the passage as you exit the pool on the bend in the Big Dig. The route to the Lower Streamway and John Smith's Passage goes right underneath these blocks. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more movement as the whole thing settles and you certainly wouldn't want to disturb any of it by accident!
The DCA Projects Officer is aware; it looks as though some propping will be needed. Jules Barrett.
18/02/2008 - Conservation work in Bradwell Dale and Bagshawe Cavern
On the 9th and 10th of February 2008 Eldon members organised a clean-up of the Bradwell Dale caves and Bagshawe Cavern. A skip was provided by Natural England and over twenty cavers from a variety of Derbyshire clubs were involved in tidying up the outside and inside Bradwell Parish Cave, Walker's Grotto and Bagshawe Cavern. Click [here] for a full report from the weekend. Jules Barrett.
03/01/2008 - Eldon members working to make Nickergrove Mine safer for use by groups
The Nickergrove Through-trip is an excellent little trip which involves a couple of interesting vertical sections combined with a bit of stooping and crawling passage. Cavers enter through the adit entrance and exit a short distance away by climbing out of a shaft entrance. The Peak Instructed Caving Affiliation (PICA) have been keen to make the trip safer for some time and the vertical sections have recently been P-bolted by DCA. Some suspect rock at the top of one of the climbs was causing concern and Eldon members Jules Barrett and Sam Townsend have now gardened it away from the edge. Recent work in Nickergrove is an excellent example of PICA, DCA, Natural England and local cavers working together. Jules Barrett.
20/12/2007 - Improving access through a choke in Hungerhill Swallet
Eldon members have been working to improve access through the choke at the top of the 12m rift climb after the Bag o' Worms in Hungerhill Swallet. The squeeze under poised boulders into the chamber above has been removed and some shoring done. Despite the work there's still a good deal of loose rock here. Jules Barrett.

If anyone would like to take this on please let me know and I'll send over Dave's contact details. Jules Barrett.
30/09/2007 - Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation Induction Course
Bryan Woodall has asked me to see if there is any interest in DCRO amongst club members. Anyone interested in getting involved should come to the induction course being held at the Whitehall Centre on Saturday 10th November 2007 (meet at 9:30 a.m.). The day is a good chance to see how DCRO operates, have a play with some of the equipment and meet team members. You have to attend one of these Whitehall days before being accepted onto the team so even if you're only thinking of joining, it's probably worth coming along otherwise you'll have to wait another year to get involved. Bring warm and waterproof clothing for hanging in trees and an SRT kit. Jules Barrett.
26/09/2007 - Eldon 50th Anniversary Celebrations - Giants Hole Trip
Pete Pollard is organising a club Giants Hole trip for Sunday 21st October to celebrate 50 years of the EPC. The intention is to get regular, occasional and armchair cavers out for a good days caving followed by drinking in the Wanted Inn. More information is available [here]. Jase Rider.
19/09/2007 - SRT Notes
Whilst doing some SRT training recently I've put together some illustrated SRT notes which can be made available to future Eldon trainees. They cover the basics of SRT progression (equipment setup, traversing, up, down, changeovers, rebelays, deviations and knot passing) and a draft version can be found at http://www.eldon.org.uk/cavertraining.html. Just click on the file named srt.pdf. You need a password which can be found [here] if you have access to EPC Private on ukcaving.com. If not, just send me an email and I'll send the password over. I'll be using them as the basis for any training for new members so am keen to get views from as many people as possible; a lot of you have been swinging around on rope underground longer than I have! I know everyone's busy but if you get chance to have a look and perhaps suggest changes/additions/tips that would be great. Please send your comments to me before the end of October 07 when I'm going to have some time to finalise them. Jules Barrett.
03/09/2007 - Eldon Library
Now that a more permanent home has been found for the Eldon library Dan Hibberts is looking for volunteers to help sort and record the journals etc. Please get in touch with Dan Hibberts if you are able to help. Jules Barrett.
21/08/2007 - Eldon Tackle Store
First steps have been taken towards building a small Eldon tackle store in the Hope Valley. This will be a place to store digging materials etc. and it is expected that work will be finished soon. Contact The Tackle Master for details. Jules Barrett.
21/08/2007 - Meets list 07/08
Pete Pollard is currently putting together the meets list for 07/08 and is keen to get ideas about caves throughout the UK that people would like to visit as a club trip. We had a good chat in France and drew up a list of 12 or so spread across all four major caving regions but if anyone else has suggestions please contact The Meets Secretary. Similarly, if anyone has a suggestion for the 2008 Eldon expedition please let Pete know. Jules Barrett.
20/08/2007 - Successful Eldon expedition to the Pyrenees Atlantiques for the PSM Traverse
The summer 2007 trip to the Pyrenees for the PSM Traverse went very well with a sociable team of twelve traversing from the Gouffre du Beffroi (SC3) entrance to the EDF tunnel. There's an expedition report [here]. Jules Barrett.
06/08/2007 - New project - Buxton Water Aven, Peak Cavern
After a certain amount of sitting on the fence I've decided to have a proper go at the top of Buxton Water Aven. In fact the aim is to progress a climb begun by Mark Wright up the steep gully/rift at the north west end of the aven. Mark's ropes are still in there and I'll be making use of those in the first instance before (hopefully) pushing on up. The main issue with the climb is that the rope goes over some very loose rock that makes up the bottom of the gully and if this falls it falls right into the sump pool. First job will be to organise somewhere safe to stash dive gear whilst working. Second job will be to try to secure the exit in case something does get knocked down and finally climbing the aven itself. Jim Lister will be trying to find a little time away from Doom's Retreat to assist. See the Current Projects page for more information. Jules Barrett.
02/08/2007 - Congratulations Jim and Sadie
Jim and Sadie have had another young 'un; so Jim's now a dad of two. Congratulations to you both! Jules Barrett.
21/07/2007 - Photo-scanning day
Following the Eldon 50th celebrations a photo-scanning day was held at Nick Williams' place where all the old photos made available by various members and ex-members were scanned. This means that the originals can now be returned to their owners and we will have copies for the 60th and subsequent celebrations. The day went very well and with three computers and scanners going we were finished by early afternoon. Many thanks to Nick for use of his premises. Jules Barrett
26/06/2007 - PSM pre-trip meeting
The main meeting before this August's PSM trip will be held before the next club meeting at 8:00 pm on Thursday 5th July 2007 in the White Lion, Buxton. Please bring your £30.00 for the permit if you haven't already paid. Pete Pollard.
26/06/2007 - Photos wanted for new edition of 'Caves of the Peak District'
Work on the new edition of Caves of the Peak District has reached the stage where photographs are needed. If you have photos that you think are worth including please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with details of what you have etc. Will probably plan an evening in a Derbyshire pub to have a look through them and choose the best. They don't all have to be serious either! Iain Barker.
01/06/2007 - "Not for the Faint Hearted" by Mike Cooper
Mike Cooper has published a book titled "Not for the Faint Hearted" which should be of interest. It's a guidebook to 50 'harder' Yorkshire potholes covering famous nasties like Brown Hill Pot, Quaking Pot and Mossdale Caverns. I used the guidebook for a short trip to Yorkshire and easily found and followed the descriptions through Trapdoor Pot and Grange Rigg Pot. There really are some tremendous and demanding trips in here and many are well off the beaten track. Many of the caves combine tight sections with good sized SRT pitches and P-bolts are scarce. Take your 8mm bolts, hangers and pretend you're in France! It's an impressive looking hardback and the layout is such that it photocopies well. All profits go to cave conservation. Available from caving shops including Hitch and Hike and priced around £20.00. Jules Barrett
01/06/2007 - Eldon SRT rescues/problem solving day
An SRT Rescues/Problem Solving day will be held on Saturday 28th July 2007at Pindale Farm near Hope. The day is open to all members and will be a good refresher prior to the PSM trip. Pindale Farm have kindly offered us free use of their training facilities so it's not going to cost anything. Meet at 10:00 a.m. and we plan to be in the pub by 5:00 p.m. Details of venue here: http://www.pindale.fsbusiness.co.uk/
Please bring:
• SRT kit and any slings/pulleys/spare krabs etc. that you'd normally have with you
• helmet
• lunch
It would be useful to have an idea of numbers beforehand so please let Jules Barrett know if you are coming along.
12/05/2007 - 2007 Hidden Earth venue and dates announced
The annual caving event Hidden Earth will this year be held 21 -23 September at Tewkesbury School, Gloucestershire. This is in easy reach of S. Wales, Forest of Dean and Mendip. An Eldon contingent will be attending. More information on the Hidden Earth website and event flyer.

15/12/2006 - Slop Moll restoration work.
Eldon members have been helping to rebuild a collapsed wall on the north side of Slop Moll near to the entrance to Peak Cavern. There was some concern that the path used by visitors to the cave was being undermined. John Taylor (EPC) led the project and worked alongside members of the Eldon, TSG, SUSS and Yorkshire's BPC. The Peak Cavern management are very pleased with the outcome and hopefully it will be some years before this particular wall needs attention.

Son Of Nettle - New Fence
Much work has been put in at S.O.N. in the past few weeks (June 2002), a third fence has been erected as the other two got flattened by the farmers cattle. This one is sure to do the job! We hope so anyway because we seem to be spending more time fence building than digging. If it does fail, then we may have to degrade ourselves and shamefully creep to the Crewe Climbing and DIY Projects Club to ask for their advice.
The shaft itself looks very similar to Nettle Pot but does have two loose walls, so if you go for a visit - you have been warned!
Digging will commence shortly - anyone wanting to join the dig team should get in touch with Mike or Jase.

Stage Door Theatre: Mack & Mabel (5 1/2 reviews)
The Stage Door Theatre previewed its production of Mack & Mabel for a week starting on August 20, with the Grand Opening on August 27, 2010.
The musical story of the tumultuous relationship between Hollywood director Mack Sennett, and his biggest star, Mabel Normand (a waitress from Flatbush Ave). With a blockbuster score by Jerry Herman, "Mack and Mabel" was nominated for 8 Tony Awards, including best Musical.
Michael Leeds directed a cast that included Shane Tanner, Mara Gabrielle, Kelly Cusimano, and Ken Clement, with choreography by Chrissi Ardito.
Roger Martin, who was the first to review the show, discovered he reviewed a preview. So he went back and re-reviewed for Miami Artzine:
...reviewers seldom attend previews. It's not fair to the theatre. Or the critic.
Did the extra two weeks make a difference? Sure they did; just what you'd expect. A tighter, brighter show with actors having fun and audience members not saying things like: "It was drearier than I thought it would be." But the sound mixing is still off with too often the singers being drowned by the accompaniment.
The standouts now are still the terrific Shane Tanner, Mara Gabriellle. who's found the humor in her role and Ken Clement as Fatty Arbuckle. The good news here is that Cusimano is now looking at the people to whom she speaks but the bad news is that you still can't hear the the first, second or third words in her big number.
So was it worth going back to Mack and Mabel? Very much so. The wonderful Jerry Herman music and the strong performances from the principals make this a constantly entertaining piece.
John LaRiviere reviewed for Talkin' Broadway.com:
This production has crisp choreography by Chrissi Ardito. She makes the most of the stage space in "Hundreds of Girls" and in the Keystone Cops chase scenes. "Tap Your Troubles Away" is beautifully danced by the ensemble, led by Kelly Cusimano as Lottie.
Mara Gabrielle is sweet as Mabel...
Shane Tanner is undeniably commanding as Mack Sennett. His singing voice is polished, and his acting provides a Mack that is driven, masculine and unapologetic. Tanner's performance is a force to be reckoned with...
Jeffrey Funaro is perfect as the slick and handsome William Desmond Taylor... While Kelly Cusimano dances Lottie well and looks the part, she seemed tense on the night attended, as if she was concentrating very hard on smiling. Ken Clement is icing on the cake (or in this case whipped cream on the pie) as Fatty Arbuckle. His size and comedic flavor fit the role as though it were written for him.
Hap Erstein reviewed for Palm Beach ArtsPaper;
After first-rate productions of A Little Night Music and The Drowsy Chaperone, and now a very credible mounting of the problematic Mack and Mabel, we are going to have to stop being so surprised when the Broward Stage Door Theatre delivers satisfying entertainment.
Shane R. Tanner... carries the evening as crusty, staunchly unsentimental Mack Sennett... He sings with authority, delivers his dialogue persuasively enough and -- to his credit -- never bothers to try to soften Sennett's character.
Less successful in an even less-dimensional assignment is Mara Gabrielle (Mabel), but she too knows her way around a song...
Fatty Arbuckle ... is played here by the always welcome Ken Clement, who feels underemployed...
Director Michael Leeds builds scenes from the script outline, managing a more cohesive narrative than exists on the page. And whenever the story starts evaporating, he relies on choreographer Chrissi Ardito to cover up the plot holes with dance flash.
Fashion Editor Rod Hagwood shortchanges us for the largely worthless Sun-Sentinel:
As Mack, Shane R. Tanner is a big booming delight and Mara Gabrielle's Mabel has everything — ringing voice, energetic dancing — but not that sprightly spirit an ingenue needs.
And the lack of chemistry between the two leads is a problem (in that vacuum Ken Clement as Fatty Arbuckle almost waddles away with the show), even though you'll hardly have time to notice...
So, if we'll "hardly have time to notice," why is it a problem?
Director Michael Leeds has produced a musical paced at fast-forward speed with slick and sly send-ups of just-under-the-radar Herman songs
Which is slick-looking writing that avoids actually communicating anything meaningful about the show. Another worthless review from the newspaper that's fit only to wrap fish.
J.W. Arnold reviewed for South Florida Gay News:
Herman's beloved show has been resurrected by Broward Stage Door Theatre under the loving guidance and a few tweaks from director Michael Leeds, who performed in the first national tour. ...while Leeds assembled a perfect cast, it is the detail and timing in his direction that makes this production shine...
The dashing Shane Tanner as Sennett had more than a few ladies—and a few men, too—swooning... His soaring voice helps him carry the production...
...Maya Gabrielle... a New York import, perfectly captures the naivete of a girl swept into the glamorous world of Hollywood's heyday.
Local favorite Ken Clement is perfectly cast as Fatty Arbuckle, the "butt" of the gags in nearly every Sennett film and he is supported by a strong comic ensemble including Stacie Johnson as skeptical pianist Ella, Kelly Cusimano as tap dancing chorus girl Lottie, and Bob Levitt as the "straight guy" producer Kleiman.
Chrissi Ardito's choreography captures the brilliance and spectacle of the classic Busby Berkeley productions...
Mary Damiano reviewed for South Florida Theater Review:
Shane R. Tanner, often relegated to supporting roles, shows he's leading man material as Mack Sennett...His strong, deep voice brings poignancy to I Won't Send Roses, and exhilaration to the opening, When Movies Were Movies.
As Mabel, Mara Gabrielle exudes the perfect combination of pluck and radiance. Gabrielle is the kind of performer who draws your attention whenever she's onstage. She and Tanner have real chemistry...
Ken Clement is funny and endearing as silent movie comic Fatty Arbuckle, especially in his Act Two opener, When Mabel Comes in the Room. As Sennett actress Lottie, Kelly Cusimano is a straight-talking, tap-dancing tornado.
Director Michael Leeds deftly switches gears between the comedy, drama and slapstick of Mack and Mabel, weaving all three into a seamless tapestry of entertainment. Kudos to music director Kevin Coughlin and sound designer Wayne Sherman, for making Stage Door's pre-recorded tracks sound as if an orchestra were in the house.
Mack and Mabel is one of Stage Door's better musical productions in recent years, a delight from start to finish.
Roger Martin reviewed for Miami Artzine.com:
The problem with this show is not only the darkly clichéd book by Michael Stewart. It's that the Broward Stage Door production simply doesn't sparkle. It's a messy show with too much business and poor sound mixing.... We get to see the staging of the two-reel comedies, the Bathing Beauties and the Keystone Kops but no one's having any fun.
Chrissi Ardito's imaginative choreography works well and the ensemble dancing is a strong plus.
...the only standout is Shane R. Tanner as Mack. He acts, sings and moves well, almost carrying the show alone. Mara Gabrielle as Mabel lacks any air of innocence as a young woman. Hers is a one-note performance, hard edged and unsympathetic. And second lead Kelly Cusimano... not only breaks the fourth wall with every speech but in her big number "Tap Your Troubles Away" swallows the first words of every line she sings. We are left wondering if she doesn't know the words or simply can't tap and sing at the same time. Ken Clement's many talents are under-utilized in the role of Fatty Arbuckle.
Mack & Mabel plays through September 26 at the Stage Door Theatre.
Labels: Review, Stage Door
A friend and I saw this production on Saturday, August 28 and we LOVED it. I can hardly believe that the person writing the negative review I just read was at the same theatre. Yes, Mr. Tanner's voice cracked a few times...over use? And I agree that Kelly struggled with the singing and dancing, BUT my friend and I both felt like we had just seen a Broadway quality production. In the car going home we couldn't stop singing the praises and after a brief silence we both came out with "WOW"....that was our real reaction...."WOW"....see it for yourself!
This show is great! Saw it on Sunday night with three friends and we all agreed it was one of the best productions any of us had seen in years. Funny, poignant, old-fashioned, and heartbreaking. Tanner was incredible as Mack and commanded every scene he was in (nearly every scene in the show, really). Mara Gabrielle was at once adorable and tragic, and showed off a voice that rivals any well known Broadway belter. Stage Door has been giving other theaters a run for their money for the past few years. This makes two great shows in a row, after Drowsy Chaperone, that I've seen. I applaud the theater for it's success. Don't miss!
Jim Stewart September 3, 2010 at 8:50 AM
Was not at all impressed by this production, nor Drowsy. The sloppiness of both shows only proves that Broward Stage Door truly is "hit-or-miss," as I usually love Michael Leeds' shows.
KenClement September 3, 2010 at 1:56 PM
Waddles?! Bite me asshat.
C.L.J. September 3, 2010 at 2:08 PM
Jim; I found DROWSY to be astonishingly tight; I saw it the final weekend, perhaps it got stronger through the run. But everyone I've spoken with were impressed with it. Yours is the first negative response on that show I've heard.
I haven't seen M&M yet.
Jim Stewart September 4, 2010 at 1:48 PM
Well, I saw it July 17th, I think it had been open for a bit - not sure how long a show needs to get "tight," but I've always been in the school of thought that it needs to be ready for opening (you know - when it had a paying audience? It shouldn't be that we all need to wait till the end of the run to see what the show should be).
My main problem with the BSDT production of "Drowsy" was that it seemed that not all the actors were in the same show. Some had their emotions hightened enough for the style that the show is (I thought Adolpho was great, as were the Chaperone and Janet) but most missed the boat on the STYLE! When that happens in a show that's built around each part being equally important to the show, it starts to look way unbalanced, and you begin to wonder if the man in chair stutters in real life, or if it's built into the script and he should be making a bigger deal out of it. It's the little things like that that bothered me, but hey, we're all entitled to an opinion.
As far as "Mack and Mabel," I'll say this: yes, it's better than the past few shows I've seen at Stage Door, and of course I'll be coming back. What bothers me is when we're supposed to accept a show as being "great" cause it's an improvement on the "crap" before it.
SKF September 4, 2010 at 11:59 PM
I saw the show Friday and it was a wonderful evening of theatre. Roger Martin obviously did not see the same show that I saw.
Valid points all around, Jim. Thanks for sharing!
Jim, I think you need some anti-depressants. The shows were amazing. Maybe you were the one that "missed the boat"? Hmm? I think Drowsy was the best cast show that Stage Door has done in years. As for Mack and Mable-Have you seen the original script for that show, it was horrible. Michael Leeds really worked hard making M&M a great show.
Well, that was rude an uncalled for (perhaps an upset cast member of "Drowsy" thinks I need to medicate?). Like I've said, we're all entitled to our opinion - and also, there were a few good performances in that one (Adolpho was okay, Janet, and the Chaperone, I'd even say the gangster bakers were very talented).
No need to take anything personal. I would definitely say that Mack and Mabel was a better show though, you're right in correcting me about that. Michael Leeds always does amazing work and I look forward to more from him. I just think Dan Kelley's shows usually miss the heart and the point of the pieces, ie. "Drowsy."
Jim, I agree that the last anonymous was out of line; we all have different measures, and just because one person liked a show, it doesn't mean that everyone will follow suit.
I saw a solid show, Jim didn't. We were there on different days, who knows which is the more accurate assessment? No one.
This is why I link to numerous reviews; everyone is subjective, so one view doesn't give you the whole story. That doesn't mean that one view is right and the others are wrong;it means that everyone has their own experience of it. And that's wonderful.
I saw Mack and Mabel TWICE (so far) because I simply couldn't get enough!
Shane R Tanner is absolutely brilliant! One could put him on ANY stage, Broadway or otherwise, and he would deliver an incredibly professional performance as Mack Sennett!
The rest of the cast (shout outs to Miss Gabrielle, Mr. Clement, and Mr. Levitt) is smart, talented, and earns their paychecks!!
CONGRATS on an awesome show!
NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!!
Congrats to all!

There should be a link for users with lower capabilities (author, contributor) to grant extra permission. The problem I am facing is that I have to make one account to be site admin temporarily to grant extra permission. Please update the plugin so that there will be a page for users to grant extra permission while being not able to see API and settings.
The dashboard widget is a bit strange.
When the user has capability lower than site admin, it shows "You have granted extra permission" no matter what.
Once I set the role of a particular user to be site admin, it shows a link "grant extra permission" and it works. A new windows pops up.
However, I may have a solution for you - have you tried the User Role Editor plugin? That could definitely do the job for you - I'd love to hear how it goes if you try it out?
do you mean adding the capability manage_options to editors & authors? I think it is giving too much permission to normal users.
I totally agree with your point of granting too much privileges to the user.
However I was trying to come up with a fix that allows you to choose which levels of access a user has using roles.
Though I am unsure of what I was thinking when I last replied to this ticket - I have decided to see if I can get the lead developer in here to assist / give us some advice.
yourself separately to us? Or by us over email with you? Or using our live support?


When running a bash script with Thunar Custom Actions I like to place "xfce4-terminal -x" in front of the bash script path, which will open the terminal so I can see the bash script performing the operations. But I'd like the terminal to stay open after the bash script completes. How do I do this?
The "-H" will hold the terminal window open.
Thanks for the quick reply ToZ! Not to make you uncomfortable, but of all the mods on all the forums I've ever been on you're the most helpful.

Wright's artistic pieces are emotionally evocative explorations into the wonders of life.
In his breathtaking artwork, Jimmy Wright focuses upon a sense of deep, meaningful symbolism, rather than delving into realistic depiction. As said by Wright himself, "I think of it as symbols of a deeper engagement with the shifts and unexpected changes, of the vagaries of nature and life." Working in both pastels and oil paints, and finding inspiration in Roman wall paintings, Henri Matisse, flowers, and more, Wright's artistic pieces are of fascinating diversity. They are emotionally evocative explorations into the wonders of life.
Artist Jimmy Wright was born in Union City, Tennessee in 1944. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1967, he received a fellowship enabling him to study art around the world; he traveled to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Upon returning to the United States, he went on to earn a Masters of Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University in 1971. His work is displayed in many public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Q&A with Jimmy Wright
Jimmy Wright Artist
Mood of Living: Current location:
Jimmy Wright: Freeman Alley, New York City.
MoL: Before your current occupation you were...?
JW: I have always been an artist.
MoL: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
JW: I see myself painting in my NYC studio. I love New York and have no intention of growing old elsewhere.
MoL: What and/or who inspired you to become an artist?
JW: Since I was eight years old I knew that I would be an artist. I was inspired by the very best of photojournalism. The photographs in Life Magazine served as my window to the larger world. I was a small kid, living on a farm, in a very rural section of Western Kentucky. When I was about 12, I received as a gift my first art book, featuring paintings from the Louvre. I was taken by a Brueghel painting of beggars and an El Greco portrait of a man in a ruffled collar. I remember copying those paintings in watercolor.
MoL: Where and how did you learn your craft?
JW: My most important lessons on handling paint were from watching a talented fellow art student (who tragically died young) paint while we were students in a small state college in Western Kentucky. I went on to study painting with Ray Yoshida at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Yoshida's emphasis was not so much on the craft of the materials as it was on the craft of the content of the work. Looking at Degas taught me the craft of using pastel.
MoL: What medium do you like to work in?
JW: I work primarily in two mediums: soft pastels on paper and oil paint on canvas. I have a great passion for both mediums: pastel because it is as close to working in pure pigment as I can get; oil because of the endless color discoveries made while mixing paint. Working with pastel is like drawing because the pastel becomes an extension of the hand and the arm and in turn the eye. It's for me a direct medium. The liquid consistency of paint requires a different strategy. The majority of my time making a painting is used in rearranging and removing the previously applied paint. I find oil painting to be indirect because I have to find the painting, reveal the form in what is obscure.
MoL: How would you describe your artwork and creative process?
JW: My art is not about realistic depiction or decoration. I think of it as symbols of a deeper engagement with the shifts and unexpected changes, of the vagaries of nature and life.
MoL: Where do you look for inspiration?
JW: In art history there are two main sources of inspiration in my art. One is Roman wall painting. I can look at the art of antiquity and always find inspiration in how time has eroded the precision of the forms and the vividness of the original color. The other art inspiration would be Matisse, who is an endless source of formal invention. If one is thinking of inspiration through looking at objects, certainly flowers are an obvious source of inspiration. In the studio are collections of dried flowers. I have a kind of cabinet of curiosities for small treasures. Throughout the house and studio are groupings of objects that give me inspiration. I use picture shelves and low benches to display collections of butterflies and insects, photographs, paintings and framed works on paper.
MoL: You explore diverse floral imagery in many of your works. How did this artistic affinity towards flowers evolve? What is so thrilling, as an artist, about examining the realm of blossoms?
JW: It came about through circumstance – I was a full time caretaker to a loved one who was ill and I needed to find a way to get to the studio not on a schedule, but when I could find time. This was in 1988. I had never worked from still life before, but that was a choice I made because a still life wouldn't move and I could compose a set-up and leave it and came back to it. It was serendipity that I bought a large sunflower head in the farmer's market and that became the subject of two of eight large-scale paintings done over the course of three years. That was the beginning of the flower series.
MoL: What types of flowers evoke a creative spark within you and why? What qualities of flowers do you hope to capture in your work?
JW: All flowers are evocative. However, I am not a realist so I am not rendering fresh bouquets of flowers. What interests me most is painting the essence of a flower or that, which remains after the flower fades. Sunflowers have a form that I keep returning to.
MoL: What is your favorite quote?
JW: To say that a thing is beautiful is simply an act of faith. Not a measurement on some kind of scale." – Édouard Vuillard
MoL: How do you achieve peace of mind and spirit?
JW: Despite the hard work, the act of painting gives me the most peace of mind and spirit.
MoL: What is your favorite hobby?
JW: Eating good food. Drinking very fine wine.
Wright's butterfly library.
MoL: Who is an influential figure in your life?
JW: I look up to men and women of principle. Most of my male heroes are painters from past generations like Ryder and Hartley. My favorite contemporary painters are strong visionary women who paint against the grain: Olive Ahyens, Anne Harris, Louise Fishman, Barbara Takenaga, Susanna Coffey to name a few.
MoL: If you could have a conversation with any artist of the past or present, who would it be and why?
JW: I am fortunate in that I can have a conversation at any time with any past or present painter by looking at their work. And that's the great joy of painting – even though you're making a static fixed object, it is, when gazed upon, in fact alive. Painting conveys, through inanimate materials ideas, emotions and responses that are not set in time.
MoL: What period of art do you most admire?
JW: I admire the art of now. Contemporary art.
MoL: When was the moment you realized you could really do this?
JW: When I finish a work or a painting and realize that I've accomplished something, a strong painting, my immediate response is – how did I make that? So it's never – for me – a moment that I've been able to sustain. The realization is only momentary. And that is part of what drives me to make the next painting.
MoL: What is the message you hope to project through your artwork? What feelings do you hope to convey?
JW: Painting is similar to the early space probes we've launched into space. A painting is simply a sign or a symbol, a message that life was here.
MoL: What advice can you give to anyone interested in becoming an artist?
JW: If you're only thinking that you're interested in art, then you're not an artist. You either are an artist or not and for some it takes time to come to that realization. It's not a lifestyle. It requires education, social and financial sacrifice, having an inner life, and having the capacity for joy.
MoL: We find that people who make beautiful things are more likely to lead an artistic lifestyle. Do you spend much time creating a beautiful home?
JW: It is more to me an organic process – a room is like a collage. I put something in and take something out, move something to one side or another. Play with the color of a wall, or the color of an object. I consider every room to be a comfortable refuge, but not fixed, flexible, a curated reflection of my domestic life. I have an art collection that is not static. Works are rotated and rearranged, moved in and out of storage. And sometimes the entire house becomes a stage for work projects.
MoL: Do you entertain?
JW: I love being with people, so I have to watch that I don't spend all my time socializing rather than working in the studio. I have a group of friends who come for extended visits. I love entertaining, especially parties and events, because my living room welcomes large groups. That ties into my approach of how everything in a room should be flexible and moveable, though I do have a nine-foot marble dining table designed by James Wong that is not moveable.
MoL: Do you cook?
JW: My kitchen has two stoves. I cook for myself but now I much prefer eating other people's food. One of my favorite chefs is Marja Samson. Mixing a color is like cooking from a secret recipe. I use Vasari oil paint which is made by hand in small batches with only the purest raw ingredients. It's food for my eyes.
