Home Daily Commentaries CAD steadier after a bad day on Wednesday post-BoC meeting.
CAD steadier after a bad day on Wednesday post-BoC meeting.
Thursday 8 March, 2018
The Canadian Dollar on Wednesday was by quite some margin the worst performer of all the major currencies we monitor closely here. USD/CAD reached an 8-month high just below 1.30, whilst GBP/CAD hit 1.80 for the first time in 20 months. For the Antipodeans, AUD/CAD extended its gains to a 9-month high of 1.0135 whilst NZD/CAD at 0.9435 was the highest since early July. Overnight in Asia and in Europe this morning, the CAD has held steady against a somewhat stronger US Dollar which has allowed it to eke out some modest gains from yesterday's very depressed levels. As unanimously expected, the Bank of Canada left its target for overnight interest rates unchanged at 1.25%. Its Statement noted that, "Global growth remains solid and broad-based. In the United States, new government spending and previously-announced tax cuts are anticipated to boost growth in 2018 and 2019. However, trade policy developments are an important and growing source of uncertainty for the global and Canadian outlooks… While the economic outlook is expected to warrant higher interest rates over time, some continued monetary policy accommodation will likely be needed to keep the economy operating close to potential and inflation on target. Governing Council will remain cautious in considering future policy adjustments, guided by incoming data in assessing the economy's sensitivity to interest rates, the evolution of economic capacity, and the dynamics of both wage growth and inflation." The Bank of Canada statement didn't directly mention NAFTA, it is clear that concerns about trade are a growing negative. Looking at interest rate markets, they aren't fully pricing in the next rate increase - which would be the fourth in the cycle - until July whereas a month ago, overnight index swaps were pricing in at least one increase by May, with a good chance of an April hike. The Canadian Dollar has been the worst performing major currency so far in 2018. The Canadian Dollar opens in North America at USD/CAD1.2930, AUD/CAD1.0085 and GBP/CAD1.7935.
Since President Trump's proposed steel tariffs were announced last week, the DJIA is down around 1%, but volatility has increased substantially with several 300 point intra-day swings. The USD index, meantime, peaked last Thursday morning at 90.50 and has subsequently been back down to 89.00 - its lowest level in just over two weeks – before a modest rally yesterday to 89.35. Trading in Asia and Europe this morning has been pretty subdued ahead of today's ECB Council meeting with the Press Conference scheduled to start at 2.30pm Frankfurt time, 08.30am in New York. In economic news, the US trade deficit increased to a more than nine-year high in January, with the shortfall with China widening sharply. The Commerce Department said the trade gap jumped 5.0% to $56.6 billion. That was the highest level since October 2008 and exceeded economists' expectations of an increase to $55.1 billion. The politically sensitive trade deficit with China surged 16.7% to $36.0 billion, the highest since September 2015. The deficit with Canada soared 65% to a three-year high of $3.6 billion. President Trump in late January imposed broad tariffs on imported solar panels and large washing machines, even before last week's announcement of import tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on imported aluminum. After the international trade numbers were released, the Atlanta Fed updated its Q1 GDP forecast. From an annualized pace of 3.5% prior to the data, it now has just 2.8% as the contribution of net exports is even more negative than it had previously assumed. Improving global growth and a weaker dollar have been supporting overseas sales of American-made goods, though not enough to outpace inbound shipments and the Atlanta Fed model currently has trade subtracting -0.59 percentage points from Q1 growth. The USD index opens this morning in North America around 89.40.
On Tuesday, the Single European Currency put the Italian concerns firmly behind it to reach a best level around USD1.2410; the first time it had been back a 1.24 big figure in two weeks. On Wednesday, the EUR extended its gains to a high just under 1.2440 at lunchtime in Europe before then slipping back to the high 1.23's in the New York afternoon session. Ahead of today's ECB Council Meeting, the euro has edged a little lower but there is a good area of technical support around USD1.2350 which ought to limit the downside until traders hear what Mr Draghi has to say about the economy and monetary policy. Though all the activity data on the Eurozone economy are positive and surveys of business and consumer confidence remain close to multi-year highs, inflation has actually slipped back over the last couple of months. ECB President Draghi will likely use this as a reason not to change the forward guidance around the ending of QE and stick to current language about no increase in interest rates until well past the end of the programme. Indeed, analysts surveyed regularly by Bloomberg forecast that policy makers will pare back their pledge on asset purchases by June, and set an end date for the stimulus program by July. Tweaks to the guidance on interest rates, which currently foresees no change until "well past" the end of bond buying, are not expected until September. As well as his comments on QE and monetary policy, Mr Draghi is sure to be pressed about the possible impact of US tariffs and possible European retaliatory measures. Of course, these are decided by politicians, not Central Bankers, but the journalists will recall that Mr Draghi used the January Press Conference to complain about US comments on exchange rates and will be looking for more of the same. The EUR opens in North America today at USD1.2375 and EUR/CAD1.6020.
The British Pound was lower for much of the day on Wednesday but a late afternoon rally left it little changed against the US Dollar and the EUR. It would be a mistake to read too much into the price action, however. For ten hours from 7am to 5pm London time, GBP/USD was stuck in just a 40 pip range from 1.3855 to 1.3895 as investors tired of over-interpreting the latest Brexit shadow-boxing. Overnight in Asia, the GBP crept on to a USD 1.39 'big figure' but couldn't sustain the move in the European morning today and has slipped back in to the 1.38's. The EU's draft guidelines on the UK's exit from the EU were presented by European Council President Donald Tusk. He struck a conciliatory tone saying, "The UK will be our closest neighbour and we want to remain friends and partners after Brexit - partners that are as close as possible, just like we have said from the very first day after the referendum." While the guidelines make clear that the EU wants "as close as possible a partnership" after Brexit, however, it is expected that there will be negative economic consequences. "Being outside the customs union and the single market will inevitably lead to frictions… Divergence in external tariffs and internal rules as well as absence of common institutions and a shared legal system, necessitates checks and controls to uphold the integrity of the EU single market as well as of the UK market… This unfortunately will have negative economic consequences." Responding to the publication of the guidelines, a Downing Street spokesman stressed they were a draft version which had not been formally published. "We look forward to seeing the final guidelines when published and hope they will provide the flexibility to allow the EU to think creatively and imaginatively about our future economic partnership," they said. The British Pound opens in North America at USD1.3865, GBP/EUR1.1200 and GBP/CAD1.7930.
The Australian Dollar has slipped gradually lower from Tuesday's high of USD0.7835. The fall hasn't been dramatic by any means but three times it has slipped back on to a US 77 cents 'big figure' and the price action suggests the downside may be the more vulnerable. Against the Canadian Dollar, meantime, the Aussie is around 40 pips down from Wednesday's 1.0135 high, having broken above parity on Monday for the first time in more than 6 months. Australia's latest monthly trade figures were released overnight. The headlines were much better than expectations, with a $1.05 billion surplus, a more than $2 billion turnaround on the $1.1 billion deficit the month before. Details showed a 4.3% m/m jump in exports whilst imports fell -2.4%. Digging a little deeper in to the numbers, around three-quarters of the surplus was made up by a $770 million contribution by gold, with exports jumping 54 per cent over the month. A $208 million jump in the export of transport equipment also improved the monthly picture. Elsewhere, iron ore (+0.6% m/m) and coal (0.0% m/m) added little to exports growth, although last month's figures were revised up slightly. According to CBA, generally stronger commodity prices so far this year point to another solid result next month and an improvement in the terms of trade — the ratio of the prices received for exports to prices paid for imports. "This will provide a short-term boost to nominal GDP and therefore national income." The latest foreign exchange survey from Reuters showed the median forecast of 41 analysts is for the AUD/USD exchange rate at 78 cents in one, three and six months' time. This would be an unusually flat profile for the typically volatile currency pair. Over 2017, for example, the Aussie went from as low as 0.7165 to as high as 0.8125 before ending the year just above $0.7800 where it currently sits. The median forecasts, however, disguise a wide range of views about the AUD. Looking at the one-year time horizon, the range of expectations is between 70 and 86 US cents. The Australian Dollar opens in North America this morning at USD0.7795, with AUD/NZD at 1.0740 and AUD/CAD1.0095.
Having found the air on a US 73 cents handle a bit thin, the New Zealand Dollar has spent the last 36 hours catching its breath in the mid to high-72's. Generally, its movements matched those of its Aussie cousin and the key AUD/NZD cross has remained steady throughout around 1.0735. After two of the 'partial data' which feed in to the calculation of the GDP numbers were released Wednesday (construction work and wholesale trade), today we've seen manufacturing output. The total volume of manufacturing sales rose 1.0% in the December 2017 quarter compared with the previous quarter. This follows a 0.4% rise in Q3. Seven of the 13 manufacturing industries saw sales rise in the December 2017 quarter. The largest movements were petroleum and coal product manufacturing, up 17% and meat and dairy product manufacturing, down 2.8%. The petroleum and coal manufacturing series is not seasonally adjusted, as it does not have a stable seasonal pattern. It is not unusual for this industry to show large movements from quarter to quarter. Analysts are now firming up their forecasts for the Q4 GDP estimate due on March 15th. ANZ and Westpac both pick +0.7% q/q and 3.1% y/y whist ASB Bank go for +0.8% and 3.2%. The Kiwi Dollar opens this morning in North America at USD0.7260 and NZD/CAD0.9395.

Will the Middle East be the New Shipment Hub for International Trading?
Significant events happening in the Middle East may have a major impact on ocean shipping, international trade, and global markets. To assess the position and growth in the Middle East, the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) is often used as a reference point. This organization has seen continued growth, in part due to opportunities created by regional and global events including recent Brexit decisions and trade and environmental policies implemented in the United States and Europe.
Over the last couple of years aggregated contracts worth billions of dollars were exchanged in what the DGCX aptly called "brisk trading." A promising indicator for the exchange is the Average Open Interest for 2019, which was higher than it has ever been. This begs the question: Is the Middle East becoming the new shipment hub for world trading?
The scheme and response from the Middle East
Without a doubt, the Middle East is attempting to position itself as an epicenter for global trade. Innovation and a joint drive for implementation of improved systems are a large factor behind the Middle East's rise. Local organizations focused strongly on technology in their operations and invested heavily in creating rock-solid global connectivity and market data products to attract international trade.
Obstacles and difficulties
While the Middle East is building its connectivity with the goal of becoming the new global shipment hub, it faces many difficulties along the way. It's central location makes it the perfect hub for international trade, but factors including overcapacity and regulations are two possible setbacks. Middle Eastern ports have quickly added capacity. In fact, from 2011 through 2016, container capacity increased by 16 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEU). Ports have announced plans to add capacity totaling approximately 57 million TEU by 2030. If the demand cannot keep up the Middle East's growing capacity, this can create lower returns for investors which can reduce investments down the road.
In 2018, a myriad of global financial firms grappled with implementing regulation MiFID II. Some of the requirements of MiFID II require organizations to have an easily manageable network. The Middle East has established an increasingly improved network in the last couple of years and has future plans to expand.
With this agreement and manageable network clearing, services in the Middle East are projected to soar in the future. Clearing houses and additional supportive services will have to be prioritized for the Middle East to keep up with expected growth in the region.

The playwright uses this title to speak to the mythos that is created around Christy as he interacts and forms relationships with the peasant population of the island to the west of Ireland. Christy excels at playing the sports of the island and is also seen as a sort of mythical hero amongst the locals. Christy gains this status through his championing of sport games and of his story of rebellion against his father.
Christy's importance among the locals of the island is rooted in his status within a mythological context. Christy is viewed through an almost fantastical lens by the peasants, and this lens supports his status as a "playboy". The "western world" in this play refers to the islands directly west of the main island of Ireland, where the people are considered to be more in touch with their roots and less affected by christian colonization.

Although among the top 10 Portuguese universities with higher number of top quality scientific papers published, and despite the growing attractiveness that it has been gaining in terms of research and teaching, UTAD is still far from the European high performing R&D institutions. Thus, the Clim4Vitis project aims at enhancing UTAD's S&T capacity, as well as raising its staff's research profile, specially focusing one of the fields of research in which the University has become a national reference: viticulture. Within this broad area, particular attention should be given to two main lines of research: 1) grapevine modelling and 2) tools for assessing climate change impacts on European viticulture, in general, and on grapevine productivity, quality attributes and risk of diseases and pests in particular. In order to boost competences in these topics, the project gathers 5 international partners (1 university from a Widening country, 3 internationally-leading research institutions, and an international consultancy & training company). The 3 internationally-leading research institutions are from the same field of study, but with complementary skills. The implementation of several twinning activities (thematic workshops, staff exchange, short courses, thematic seminars, webinars, conferences, among others) will enable the access to systematized knowledge and cutting edge-technology, as well as the knowledge and technology transfer between the high performing partners and the UTAD. Clim4Vitis is based on an integrated approach, which envisages the effective internationalization of the University, through extensive networking, dissemination and the establishment of long-term transnational cooperation relationships with world-leading R&D institutions. Furthermore, the project actively contributes to the sustainability of UTAD, once it also foresees the increase of contracts with business partners and stakeholders.

Q: Pasted tab separated plaintext doesn't end up in multiple cells A recent update to Apple's Numbers seems to have removed or broken the ability to paste into multiple cells. Previously, if I copied the string A\tB\tC (where \t represents a tab character), I could select a cell in Numbers, and the values would paste like this:

However, when I attempt this now I end up with the following:

If I copy a row of cells from Numbers, I can paste it within Numbers. However, if I paste the row of cells into a plain text document (in TextEdit), and then copy the resulting string (which looks like the string given above), pasting it back into Numbers results in the undesired behavior in my screenshot above.
If there is an option I can change in Numbers to allow pasting of a row of cells from a plain string, or a different way I can format my string, that would be very useful.

A: Weirdly the behaviour of this seems inconsistent when there is only one line which needs an additional trailing newline to work.
So
"a\tb\tc\n" doesn't work, result is [a  b  c] in a single cell
"a\tb\tc\n\n" works fine
For multiple lines the trailing newline seems to make no difference, all these behave the same in that two lines are created and the selected cell is the first one on the second line
"a\tb\tc\nd\te\tf"
"a\tb\tc\nd\te\tf\n"
"a\tb\tc\nd\te\tf\n\n"
"a\tb\tc\nd\te\tf\n\n\n"
So programatically if compiling an unknown number of entries (as I am) it makes sense to just add an extra newline to the clipboard. The behaviour of this does seem to change/break from time to time, I've had to fiddle with my app multiple times over the last few years because of these issues.

"Ball and Biscuit" is the eighth track on the album Elephant by American alternative rock band The White Stripes.

Composition and lyrics

Musical structure
The song commits to the structure of traditional 12-bar blues, a three-chord format in which the first line of each verse is repeated and then answered.

Lyrics

The lyrics follow the perspective of a self-purported seventh son as he apparently courts a woman. He mentions that it is quite possible that he is the girl's "third man" and that the girl is ambivalent towards him, but he persistently tries to impress her with his claim to be a seventh son.

The title could refer to the STC Coles 4021 "Ball and Biscuit" microphone that was used at Toe Rag Studios during the Elephant recording sessions.

The Seventh Son is based on the American folk legend version of the belief that the seventh son of a seventh son would be granted supernatural powers, which the character of the song claims to possess in the form of superhuman strength. A recollection of similar folklore is frequently found in the Blues and derivatives; notably, Willie Dixon sang a blues song entitled "The Seventh Son". The use of the Seventh Son may have been inspired by Jack White's own family situation; he was the seventh and final son in a family of nine children.

Reception
"Ball and Biscuit" has generated a significant amount of commentary even though it was never released as a single. It was, however, voted in a Rolling Stone Reader's Poll to be the greatest Jack White song "by a landslide". In her review of Elephant, Kitty Empire described the song as "...astonishing, with Jack White playing on his knees, his sexual promises punctuated by liquid guitar emissions." In 2011, the Washington Posts David Malitz described the song as "perhaps the White Stripes' definitive statement."

It has also been used numerous times in popular culture. It was featured in as the background music for the Captain Morgan advertisement "Glass" and was heard  at the beginning of the 2010 film The Social Network.

On October 10, 2020, Jack White performed a version of the song on Saturday Night Live after stepping in and replacing Morgan Wallen on short notice.

Cover versions
Bob Dylan performed the song live at a concert in Detroit, Michigan on March 17, 2004, for which he was joined by White (making a surprise appearance). It is the only instance, to date, of Dylan covering a song that was written in the 21st century. An audience recording of the performance was made available to stream on The White Stripes' official website in March 2004.

19 Black Musicians On An Influential Album In Their Life
Featuring picks from Rico Nasty, Mahalia, serpentwithfeet and more.
by Steffanee Wang
In honor of Black History Month, NYLON reached out to some of our favorite Black musicians to share an album by another Black artist that's impacted them, either personally or artistically. Not because it could fully encompass or articulate the impact of the Black musical canon, but because the small process of remembering and sharing can also act as a powerful form of archive.
The responses we received are varied in genre and era, highlighting the sheer vastness of Black musical history. From Corinne Bailey Rae's graceful neo-soul, to Frank Ocean's modern classic channel ORANGE, to Treemonisha, one of the world's first Black operas about a young woman growing into a leader in her community. And in between all of that, many more works that have touched and molded the art being made by Black artists today.
Read on for 19 Black artists on an album by a fellow Black artist that touched their lives.
Angel Haze
Pick: good kid, m.A.A.d city, Kendrick Lamar
"I don't really know how to articulate what that album did for music and for me as a whole. I think it created a space for the storyteller and the more enigmatic persona again. To me, it was inspiring because it was [Kendrick's] own personal journey, and knowing of his stuff prior and since then, he's released nothing but incredible music. Kendrick's good kid, m.A.A.d city taught me that it was okay to always give an honest piece of myself in my art."
Pick: Mama's Gun, Erykah Badu
"My album of choice would be Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu. From start to finish, this album holds so many memories for me and how my musical taste was shaped. Her variety and consistency made this album so much fun to come back to. Also her collaboration with Roy Ayres felt like a sweet balance of musicality and raw intuition, which always feels like a perfect storm in the context of timeless musical expression."
The Gold Mine/Elektra
Pick: Miss E... So Addictive, Missy Elliott
"Missy Elliott's characteristics are very innovative. She's a big inspiration because she's always super fly, and she does a lot of stuff outside of the box. I feel like it opened a lot of people's minds, especially in the hip-hop culture, because her style is something that would be more like on the pop side. She embraces weird, and I love it. What made everything come together to me was the whole aesthetic besides the music — how she dressed depending on the song, what's going on in the video as far as what type of video is it, it being real futuristic. If she is having something sad, but still making it turnt up. It's just her aesthetic overall, and her confidence."
Pick: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Ms. Lauryn Hill
"I didn't really listen to it much as a kid, but rediscovered it later and it's such a classic. I've never seen anyone walk the line of singing and rapping so effortlessly. She approached heavy topics and then made them into beautiful ballads without sounding preachy. She was a mouthpiece for that generation and many generations to come. Just a blueprint. Very inspiring."
Herizen
Pick: Survival, Bob Marley & The Wailers
"This album is special because it speaks to humanity. The vibrations are high and that of positive empowering messages, I think Bob Marley is one of the only artists that can reach everyone's heart because of the truth and love behind his lyrics. Big up jah rastafari.
[On his song "Wake Up And Live," he sings,] 'Life is one big road with lots of signs/ So when you're riding through the ruts don't you complicate your mind/ Flee from hate, mischief, and jealousy/ Don't bury your thoughts and put your visions to realities, yeah!!'"
Pick: Corinne Bailey Rae, Corinne Bailey Rae
"I listened to this album in the car with my mom for basically all of 2007 (alternating with Alicia Keys' third album, As I Am). Alicia Keys is the reason I started doing music, but Corinne Bailey Rae was one of the earliest instances I can trace to the kind of music I make now. Everything about this album was effortlessly feminine, romantic, intellectual, spiritual — I can't possibly come up with enough positive adjectives for it. She demonstrated a model of Black womanhood I had never seen before in popular media, one that I find myself trying to emulate even now."
Lava La Rue
Pick: Telefone, Noname
"Telefone by Noname is by far my favorite album that dropped in 2016. Noname has always been unapologetically Black and also a prominent voice throughout the BLM movement. Her lyricism is timeless and uncompromising — often collaborating with many underground/influential artists from her Chicago scene."
"This album really means everything to me without sounding too cliché. Corinne Bailey Rae is one of the reasons I became so into music and playing the acoustic guitar. Being a Black woman, playing acoustic-soul and from the UK, she was the first artist I really saw myself in. She broke down barriers in music and style with her effortlessly soothing tone and natural beauty. I just love her and this album so much, and I don't think that feeling will ever go away."
Naeem
Pick: soil, serpentwithfeet
"On soil, serpent combines the valorous repetitive minimalism of Julius Eastman and the mindfulness of Alice Coltrane, with a deep understanding of the traditions of R&B and gospel, free of the oppressive and opportunistic forces of Christianity, Islam, and capitalism that often disrupt the true trajectory of Black creativity. I developed a habit of beginning and ending my day with this album for nearly a year, and I am still tickled by what details of life he chooses are worthy of song. "
Ouri
Pick: Heaven to a Tortured Mind, Yves Tumor
"Navigating multiple identities, this epic and casual feeling. He feels like a star but also a solid foundation to the artists featured on this album. I just love to see how strong he interacts with collaborators. I sense the admiration he generates but also gives; to me this is a sense of fluidity and openness that I profoundly look for. He accompanies and disturbs me in the most beautiful way. 'A Greater Love' & 'Kerosene' on repeat anytime, all the time."
Ray BLK
Pick: A Little Deeper, Ms. Dynamite
"This album is a U.K. classic, especially for girls like me who are from where I'm from. When I first listened to that album, it was years after it had been released and I had become a teenager, so it felt so relatable. It was R&B but from the U.K. about experiences that young girls from the ends went through. I loved the messages behind the songs, about knowing your worth, and believing in yourself. It was important for me to hear those things. Years later, having Ms. Dynamite on my second EP was a dream come true."
"When we think about GREAT ALBUMS, very complete albums that can be played through all the way with no skips. Every song has SOMETHING it's saying directly to the audience, but always is mixed and produced so well. I study the spacing on vocals on this album and creating a sound that goes perfectly with the artist. I think of this album by Erykah Badu. This is VOODOO, MY DARK TWISTED FANTASY, THRILLER, ABBEY ROAD, OK COMPUTER are some of the best albums ever made."
The Island Def Jam
Pick: Loud, Rihanna
"When I heard this album for the first time I was in the car. And all I wanted to do was hurry up and get home so I could dance to the whole thing with no interruptions. That album means so much to me over the years because I made so many bad b*tch memories with my besties while that shit played in the background."
Pick: Awaken, My Love!, Childish Gambino
"I remember being in high school on the way to fall camp listening to Awaken, My Love! the day it dropped. Gambino really forced me to be open minded because I was expecting a rap album. I had never heard anything like what he created on that project. It's a genre-less, timeless body of work. I hope that my next project can match that energy in my own way."
Pick: Treemonisha, an opera by Scott Joplin
"I constantly think about Scott Joplin's opera, Treemonisha. He finished writing it in 1910, but died before he could see it fully staged. It was performed for the first time in 1972. The music is majestic, and I'm awestruck by the Black naming tradition on display here. The protagonist was named Monisha as a child, then renamed Treemonisha because of her affinity for a nearby tree."
Pick: What's The Time Mr Wolf, Noisettes
"Whats the Time Mr Wolf is one of those formative records for me that might've changed the entire course of my life had I not discovered it. I found this record pretty early on in middle school and remember how earth-shattering it felt. Front woman Shingai Shoniwa was something I never seen before, aside from the fact that she was Black and fronting a punk band, but she was the first punk artist during that time that was equally as glam as she was punk. She looked like a literal fashion model, but had an amazing and soulful voice she wasn't afraid to use as a weapon. She could belt like Whitney Houston, but snarl and scream like Karen O, and she had a beautiful head of textured and unapologetically natural hair she styled in the most beautiful ways. I'm forever lucky for the influence of Shingai and the Noisettes."
Pick: Black Up, Shabazz Palaces
"This is one of those monumental albums that redefined what I thought was possible for music. Ishmael Butler's incantatory flow made a huge impression on me. At the time the album was released (2011) I hadn't even considered or dreamed of making music, but I was beginning to explore poetry and lyric writing. Hearing this album opened up a portal to understanding the impact of words released through chant, like on the track "Are you...Can You...Were you..?" and the revelation that maybe music could be the right medium for my ideas. Shabazz Palaces deserve more flowers now, as often is the case with Black musicians that are pioneering in their craft."
TeaMarrr
Pick: channel ORANGE, Frank Ocean
"My favorite album would have to be Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE. That body of work took me out of the norm. It had me thinking differently about song writing. The song titles were magic and the production was top tier. His soul was sprinkled all through the music, the way he moves people with immaculate, incredibly powerful vibrations ('Crack Rock') and frequencies. 'Pyramid' feels like a story I haven't told yet but lived many times. That album truly impacted me as an artist. Frank Ocean is our living legend and our Black Sinatra wit a twist. 10 out of 10 on that project."
Young Money/Cash Money
Pick: Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj
"I just loved it. I loved the fact that she was so multidimensional and it wasn't just one thing. It wasn't like she was just rapping. She was doing pop shit, like, 'Right Thru Me,' that was like some R&B type shit. I was just in awe. I started making music at 13, and for this to come out when I was 14, it really kind of shaped the way that I saw myself as an artist. I didn't want to be boxed in because I'm listening to this, and she's not boxed in at all. She's doing everything and anything and I started to create more. I started to create albums as a teenager. I have five albums from the ages of 13 to 17 that just will never come out but they're all genre-less. Every time I would put them in iTunes just for me, the genre would just say "Tate," and I feel like a lot of that energy ... just feeling like I could do whatever I want came from listening to Nicki Minaj, and that first project. Pink Friday was very influential for me.
"I feel like at the time she had a lot to prove. She'd been on Kanye's song, and all these other super huge looks, but didn't have an album out yet. And then this was like, alright. Let me put on my big girl shoes and my long legs and step on these bitches. If you wanna hear what it sounds like to just completely be yourself and do it in such an inspiring way, it's really just bad bitch energy, go listen to Pink Friday."

Eyvindr skáldaspillir Finnsson (Eyv)
10th century; volume 1; ed. Russell Poole;
1. Hákonarmál (Hák) - 21
2. Háleygjatal (Hál) - 16
3. Lausavísur (Lv) - 14
Eyvindr (Eyv, c. 915-990) has been called the last important Norwegian skald (Genzmer 1920, 159; also Boyer 1990a, 201). He is listed in Skáldatal (SnE 1848-87, III, 253, 256, 261, 265-6) among the poets of Hákon góði 'the Good' Haraldsson and Hákon jarl Sigurðarson. His maternal grandmother was a daughter of Haraldr hárfagri 'Fair-hair', and he seems to have been close to Haraldr's son Hákon góði from early on, serving at his court as one of a group of brilliant skalds. After Hákon's death he resided at the court of Haraldr gráfeldr 'Grey-cloak', but relations with Haraldr seem to have soured quickly, as evidenced by his lausavísur. Eyvindr spent the last part of his life with the powerful Hákon jarl Sigurðarson of Hlaðir (Lade), whose family had supported Hákon góði against the sons of Eiríkr blóðøx 'Blood-axe'. According to Hkr (ÍF 26, 221), in addition to Háleygjatal (Hál), Hákonarmál (Hák) and the lausavísur, Eyvindr composed a poem Íslendingadrápa, but this has not come down to us. The epithet skáldaspillir is usually interpreted to mean 'Plagiarist', literally 'Destroyer (or Despoiler?) of Poets' in reference to his habit of drawing inspiration from and alluding to earlier compositions, specifically Ynglingatal (Þjóð Yt) for Hál and Eiríksmál (Anon Eirm), along with several eddic poems, for Hák (see Introductions to Hál and Hák). The alternative interpretation 'Poem-reciter' proposed by Wadstein (1895a, 88) is unconvincing; see further Olsen (1962a, 28), and Beck (1994a). For further biographical information, see LH I, 447-9, Holm-Olsen (1953) and Marold (1993a).

Gǫndul ok Skǫgul
sendi Gautatýr
at kjósa of konunga,
hverr Yngva ættar
skyldi með Óðni fara
ok í Valhǫll vesa.
Gautatýr sendi Gǫndul ok Skǫgul at kjósa of konunga, hverr ættar Yngva skyldi fara með Óðni ok vesa í Valhǫll.
{The god of the Gautar} [= Óðinn] sent Gǫndul and Skǫgul to choose among kings, which of the kin of Yngvi should go with Óðinn and live in Valhǫll.
In Hkr, the poem is presented at the close of HákGóð after a description of Hákon's obsequies. In Fsk, the prose that precedes the first three stanzas describes how before the battle of Fitjar the king donned his war-gear and drew up his forces. In SnE, Snorri quotes this stanza in a collection of stanzas illustrating references to Óðinn (mostly kennings).
notes: Fsk introduces sts 1-3, sem Eyvindr segir í kvæði því, er hann orti eptir fall Hákonar, ok setti hann þat eptir því sem Gunnhildr hafði látit yrkja um Eirík sem Óðinn byði hónum heim til Valhallar, ok segir hann marga atburði í kvæðinu frá orrostunni, ok hefr svá 'as Eyvindr says in the poem that he composed after Hákon's fall, and he modelled it after the one that Gunnhildr had had composed about Eiríkr, as if Óðinn were inviting him home to Valhǫll, and in the poem he narrates many events from the battle, and it begins thus'. — [1] Gǫndul ok Skǫgul 'Gǫndul and Skǫgul': These are two of the valkyrjur (etymologically 'choosers of the slain'), female beings associated with Óðinn who, as here, determine the outcome of battles, selecting warriors slain in battle for Valhǫll, the hall of the slain. The valkyries' warrior equipment is described in st. 12. Gǫndul and Skǫgul (Geir-Skǫgul in st. 12/2) are named in Vsp 30, and Skǫgul is among thirteen valkyries named in Grí 36. On valkyries in Scandinavian mythology, see further Ström (1954, 70-9); Andersen (1993); Simek (1993, 349); Zimmermann (2007); Quinn (forthcoming).

I am not one of those people who plan ahead and put my winter clothes in marked boxes in the attic in April and switch them with summer clothes in October. I wish I was but I'm not. Perhaps if it was easier, if circumstances were different, I'd do that. As it is, all winter coats and hats and mittens are in the hallway all year round. It's not a good system, let me tell you, because once the cold weather comes I can never find mitts, mittens and so on. At least not two of each. The other day I found one yellow mitt and one purple. They just simply wouldn't go together.
Then I remembered! I had a pair of unused mitts that I made a year ago for an acquaintance. Then I realized she wouldn't want them and I'm not the one to knit for someone who is not going to appreciate it, so I kept them and figured I would just give them so someone else. I haven't though which turned out to be lucky. Instead of looking through the entire appartment (and who has the time to do that before you leave the house?) I just picked these up and off I went, as warm as ever. It's not really my color but the pattern is beautiful and the yarn is lovely and I will just keep wearing them till I either find two yellow or two purple mitts or I finish the blue version if these mitts that I started over a year ago but never finished – which ever comes first.
Most likely I will lose one of these mitts before any of that happens, but hopefully by then I have made myself (or someone) another pair. Either way is good.

Louisiana's Old State Capitol
The legislature of Louisiana adopted a new state constitution in 1845, which mandated that they choose a place for a new state capital that was "not less than sixty miles from the city of New Orleans." The new state capital will be established in Baton Rouge, situated about 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of New Orleans.
Additional information here.
The city authorities of Baton Rouge have started looking for potential sites for the future capital. They wanted to be near to the city's center, but they also wanted to be secure from the floods that the Mississippi River is known to produce at certain times of the year. Judge Thomas Gibbs Morgan made the generous gift of his property, which was located on a more elevated part of a natural levee.
The owner of this piece of property received a state of Louisiana in 1847 by the city of Baton Rouge to contribute to the new state capital building. The public donations totaled $20,000 at the time.
The Legislature immediately decided to go with the designs submitted by Architect James Dakin for the new statehouse. Dakin envisioned constructing a one-of-a-kind and awe-inspiring structure that prominently included gothic-style architecture.
In his plan description, Dakin stated, "I have tried to use taste and design in a building that would immediately give the structure a decidedly distinctive, classic, and dominating character." "In creating this design, I have made an effort to embrace an architectural aesthetic that would immediately give the tower a decided distinctive In July of 1847, workers started clearing the site, and the formal groundbreaking was performed in October of the same year. In January of 1850, Governor Isaac Johnson presided over the first session of the legislature to take place in the brand-built statehouse.
Secession and Relocation
In the 1860s, when there was a good chance that the Civil War would break out, the state legislature convened in the House Chamber to examine Gov. Thomas Overton Moore's stance on the state's participation in the secession movement. The vote to break away from the United States of America was held in the state legislature on January 26, 1861. The Weekly Gazette & Comet reported the sight as "a yell as never before went up from the ancient Gothic Building." This was the perspective of someone who was inside the statehouse. Before it entered the Confederate States of America, the state of Louisiana existed, assuring two months, the Sovereign and Independent Commonwealth of Louisiana. In 1862, the state administration evacuated the capitol building and retreated to Baton Rouge in the face of an impending invasion by Union soldiers. The state capital was once located in Shreveport but later relocated to Opelousas.
The capital structure was immediately overrun by Union forces, who afterward used it as a command center, a jail, and a garrison. The Union forces holding the design allowed a fire raging in the northwest turret to continue burning, which eventually caused a catastrophic catastrophe that destroyed the tower. The only objects that were left standing were the building's outside walls.
A New Castle
After the end of the Civil War in 1866, the state capital was relocated to New Orleans, although this tower continued to be used for other purposes. During the state constitutional convention in 1879, it was decided that Baton Rouge would again take its place as the capital city of Louisiana.
The legislature chose to restore the statehouse and hired William A. Freret as the architect for the project. The budget for the project was $153,000. Reconstruction of the structure started as soon as Freret's design, which included an outside tower, a stained-glass dome, and a spiral staircase with a fourth floor, was approved. In 1884, the newly restored building that housed the capital was finally finished. In the following years, heated arguments and fist fights broke out throughout the facility concerning the first lottery held in Louisiana.
A fire broke out in the Senate chamber in 1906, causing significant damage to the east side of the structure as well as water damage throughout the rest of the building. The legislature allocated the funding needed for repairs. As part of the renovations, the iron turrets perched on top of the main towers were taken down.
The Battle with Huey P. Long
Notorious In 1928, Huey P. Long won the Louisiana governor's election. He would be the last governor to be inaugurated on the grounds until Mike Foster in 1996 when he would take the oath. During two months, the Sovereign and Independent Commonwealth of Louisiana. Decided to impeach Governor Long for various offenses, including the abuse of public finances. Other allegations included bribery.
The so-called "round robin" agreement was presented and featured twelve senators' signatures—just enough to prevent an impeachment vote that required two-thirds of the chamber's members. As a result of this, Governor Long was successful in persuading the legislature to construct a whole new state capital. The new state capitol building was finished built in the year 1932.
The Louisiana Works Progress Administration moved into the old statehouse in 1936 when the legislature decided not to use it anymore. With a grant from the WPA, substantial restorations and repairs they're completed on the structure during this time. In 1948, shortly after the conclusion of World War II, the structure was formally dedicated to the soldiers of Louisiana. Veteran groups moved into the building and continued to use it until it was shut down for renovation in 1991.
In 1976, the structure was recognized as deserving of a National Historic Landmark status because it broke apart. In 1976, the structure was transferred into the care of the Louisiana State Museum system, and the state legislature allotted $2.5 million for a comprehensive renovation of the facility.
After 58 years, the Louisiana State Legislature reconvened at the Old State Capitol in 1990, the first time since the building had been transferred to the Office of the Secretary of State. 1991 marked the beginning of the most significant and thorough repair to date.
The Old State Capitol was transformed into Louisiana's Center for Political and Governmental History and reopened to the public in 1994. Under Secretary of State W. Fox McKeithen, oversaw the transformation of the building into an educational history museum. The decade of the 2000s saw the completion of several external restoration projects, including installing historically accurate plaster and replacing the iron fence.
Another good read.

Step 2 - Install PaperCut NG Install PaperCut NG as discussed in this chapter.
During the setup wizard, it is recommended that the user import settings be set up in the same way as was configured in PaperCut Quota. For example, if you import users from the full Active Directory domain in PaperCut Quota, also set this up in PaperCut NG.
Check that the users have been imported correctly. To adjust the user import settings and re-perform the user synchronization process, go to the Options → User/Group Sync screen. This is similar to the Tune-up function in PaperCut Quota.
Once installed it is recommended that the groups are set up in the same way as in PaperCut Quota. Groups are used to determine the default settings for new users and also how quotas are allocated. For more information on groups see the section called Groups in PaperCut NG.
Navigate to the Printers section.
Select the printer to adjust by clicking on the printer name.
Enter the cost and filter settings.
Press the OK or Apply buttons to save the changes.
To ensure that the printers are setup correctly, perform a test print to one of the configured printers. Once printed, check the print log (Printers → Job Log) that the job was recorded and the correct cost calculated.
Note: This step is optional for PaperCut ChargeBack, because user account balances are typically not useful for ChargeBack users. If you do not wish to import user balances, skip to the next step.
Click the Batch import … action (on the left).
Press the Import button to start the import process.
Upon successful completion, the number of users updated and created will be displayed.
Perform some checks of the user balances and restricted statuses to ensure they are set to the values from PaperCut Quota.
Copy the [app-path]/server/bin/win/PCQuotaExport.exe file from the server (running the non-windows OS), to the Windows machine running PaperCut Quota. Copy the exporter to the PaperCut Quota database directory (usually c:\Program Files\PaperCut\Database).
Open the command prompt, by running cmd.exe from Start → Run.
If running the exporter from a different directory to the database, the full path to the database should be provided.
The above command creates a text file called user-export.txt that contains the user data from PaperCut Quota. The file can be opened in a text editor to review the contents.
The file can then be imported into PaperCut NG. First log in to PaperCut NG.
Press the Browse and locate the user-export.txt file, created in the above step.
The old PaperCut Quota client software is not compatible with PaperCut NG. The old client software must be uninstalled off all workstations and the new client software deployed. The zero-install deployment method can greatly assist with this process. More information on the client deployment is detailed in the section called User Client in the manual.
Note: It is not 100% accurate to claim that the old client software must be removed. Once the old server-side software is disabled, the old client will sit in an inactive state and do no harm. Having said that however, it will consume some system resources on the workstations and hence it is generally recommended that it be uninstalled.
Once the PaperCut NG installation is completed and tested you can optionally uninstall PaperCut Quota. If you would like to view historical print data then we recommend keeping the old application installed so you can view the historical data. If this is not important then the application can be uninstalled.
On the Windows server running PaperCut Quota, go to: Start → Control Panel → Add or Remove Programs).
Find and select PaperCut Quota in the list of installed programs.
Click the Remove button to start the uninstall process.

Once again, President Moon Jae-in's administration is facing louder calls to reconsider its plan to phase out nuclear power in the country.
The impetus is the choking fine dust that blanketed most parts of the country for three consecutive days over the weekend.
The Moon government adamantly adheres to its anti-nuclear stance, turning a deaf ear to a long list of costs critics say its misguided energy policy will incur. In a meeting with a group of corporate leaders Tuesday, Moon reiterated that nothing would stop this energy policy from moving forward.
But he may find it hard to remain insensitive to growing public concern that increased coal-fired power generation -- undertaken to make up for a decrease in nuclear electricity generation -- has aggravated the fine dust problem.
Earlier this week, most parts of the country suffered from high levels of ultrafine dust, a class 1 carcinogen, with the daily average level for Seoul surging to the highest figure on record. The sky began to clear Tuesday evening, but the nation's weather agency predicts that it will once again be shrouded in fine dust as early as Thursday.
A senior ruling party member mentioned the fine dust issue, together with other reasons, last week when he called on the government to reconsider its decision not to build any more nuclear plants. In a meeting with representatives of the nuclear energy sector, Rep. Song Young-gil from the Democratic Party of Korea raised the need to build at least two new reactors to replace aged ones and thermal power plants.
It marked the first time that a ruling party legislator had spoken out against the Moon administration's nuclear phaseout plan, suggesting skepticism might be spreading even among Moon's political supporters about the relevance of his energy policy.
Soon after taking office in May 2017, Moon announced his intention to quadruple the proportion of renewables in the energy mix to 20 percent by 2030 and make the country nuclear-free over the coming six decades. The country's 23 nuclear reactors now generate about one-third of its energy needs.
Not surprisingly, Song's proposal was dismissed by the presidential office. A presidential spokesman said the issue of building new nuclear plants had been settled through public discussions. He was apparently referring to the public debate launched in July 2017, which ended with a recommendation that the country not build any more nuclear plants except for the two reactors that were already under construction at the time.
The Moon administration cited the recommendation in deciding to scrap plans for several reactors, including the Shin Hanwool 3 and 4, a decision that Song proposed reconsidering.
Despite the negative response from the presidential office, the four-term lawmaker came forward again Tuesday to reiterate his proposal.
Song was right to suggest a separate public debate is necessary to decide whether to revive the Shin Hanwool project. The original purpose of the 2017 discussion, as he pointed out, was to decide the fate of a separate reactor construction project, which Moon suspended shortly after taking office.
Furthermore, it seems necessary to hold a public debate on a wider scale, if not a national referendum, on Moon's controversial nuclear phaseout policy.
According to a survey conducted by the Korea Nuclear Society last year, 71.6 percent of respondents supported nuclear power generation and only 26 percent opposed it.
The 2017 debate, attended by 500 ordinary citizens, cannot be the final say on the future of nuclear power generation in a country that has the highest per capita electricity demand in Asia and imports much of its fuel from abroad. The presidential office should not cling to it as an excuse to shut down further discussion on this crucial matter.
Belatedly but rightly, the ruling party lawmaker echoed concerns expressed by experts that an excessive shift away from nuclear to renewable energy could destabilize the energy supply and raise electricity costs.
The policy change would also undermine the country's efforts to export its nuclear technology abroad and cause an exodus of talent from its nuclear industry.
In a press briefing Tuesday, a presidential spokesman avoided giving a direct answer to a question on the role of nuclear power generation in fighting fine dust, citing what he said was a media fact check showing that there was no correlation between the two issues. But an increasing number of suffocating days that heighten public anxiety might put greater pressure on the Moon government to reconsider its intransigent energy policy.


The Marvel Netflix shows have so far traditionally been largely self-contained, and relatively unconnected from the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. Until Jessica Jones season 2, the only references to the events of the movies have been mentions of "The Incident" - the Chitauri invasion of New York City - and the occasional superhero name-drop. This has left some fans dissatisfied with the lack of connectivity, especially given the events of Captain America: Civil War, which should surely have some impact on any enhanced humans in the world. There's good news for fans of crossover narratives, however, as Jessica Jones season 2 builds upon Civil War - specifically, upon its introduction of the superhuman prison known as 'The Raft'.
Civil War introduced audiences to the Raft, a dedicated prison designed for superhumans who were in breach of the Sokovia Accords. It's likely that construction of the Raft began years before the film - possibly even under S.H.I.E.L.D., back before the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Lifted straight from the comics, the Raft was envisioned as a sort of superhuman equivalent of Guantanamo Bay. Unlike in the comics, the MCU version of the Raft is situated in international waters, meaning no government has legal jurisdiction - and, given no flag state is running the prison, human rights laws do not apply. In Civil War, Steve Rogers' team of Avengers were imprisoned there with no hint of due process or promise of a future trial.
Jessica Jones season 2 revisits the concept of the Raft. Aware of her mother's crimes, Jessica tells Alisa that she deserves the Raft. When Alisa is eventually caught, imprisonment in the Raft is seen as the most likely outcome of her killing spree. Even more disturbing, the police note that human rights laws do not cover powered people due to "special protocol." Attorney/client privilege is revoked, and there's no suggestion that Alisa will be given a trial. If Alisa is sentenced to the Raft, she will have no visitation rights, and will be kept in confinement for 23 hours a day.
Given that Captain America broke his team out of the Raft, had Alicia been sent there she'd have been the only inmate - at least, as far as we're aware. It is, however, possible that other "enhanced" criminals have already been sent there. The Abomination, for example, was initially kept in cryogenic suspension in Alaska. It's possible he's now been sent to the Raft.
Although the Marvel Netflix shows have included a number of easy-to-miss connections to the wider MCU, this is one of the most explicit - and the most important. For one thing, it helps to fix the Marvel Netflix shows in the broader MCU timeline. Although the shows kicked off in 2015, time's been moving slowly over in the Marvel Netflix world; in fact, Daredevil season 2 and Luke Cage season 1 overlap. All that changed with The Defenders, as dialogue suggested some time had passed between Iron Fist season 1 and the ensemble series. The timeline was gradually creeping closer to Civil War, the passing of the Sokovia Accords, and the registration of every "enhanced" individual.
The reference to the Raft clearly positions Jessica Jones season 2 after the passing of the Sokovia Accords. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has implied that signatories to the Accords are divided into several categories; the show has confirmed the main Avengers listing, and also an Inhumans Registry. It's likely that another category is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s old Gifted Index. Significantly, Jessica Jones season 2 saw Jessica quip that she and her fellow "powered" people prefer to refer to themselves as "gifted." It was the first time the Marvel Netflix shows had ever used the term, a dark joke that supports the idea Jessica was signed up to the Gifted Index.
The Marvel Netflix shows have often seemed as though they exist in their own separate corner of the MCU, rarely acknowledging the existence of the movies and other TV shows. The reference to the Raft is one of the most explicit tie-ins to date, but it's also an important detail in helping weave the fabric of the wider MCU together.

Q: Is there a way to rewrite this minimax problem more efficiently? I have reduced a certain engineering problem to a few components,

*

*A fixed vector $\mathbf{k}^{3\times 1}$,

*Three fixed matrices $\mathbf{M}_1^{6\times 3}$, $\mathbf{M}_2^{6\times 3}$, $\mathbf{N}^{6\times 3}$

*A freely chosen 'input' vector $\mathbf{e}^{3\times 1}$.

Furthermore, I have two 'output' vectors $\mathbf{V}^{6\times 1}$ and $\mathbf{W}^{6 \times 1}$, where
$$ \mathbf{V} = \mathbf{M}_1 \mathbf{k} + \mathbf{N} \mathbf{e}$$
$$ \mathbf{W} = \mathbf{V} - \mathbf{M}_2 \mathbf{k} $$
My goal is to minimize the element with the maximum absolute value encountered in either $\mathbf{V}$ or $\mathbf{W}$
$$ \min_{\mathbf{e}\in \mathbb{R}^3}\ \max\ \{|V_i|,|W_i|\}$$
Right now, I'm solving this with a rather brute-forced fminimax call in MATLAB, with varying degrees of success. However, given how simple the problem formulation is, I cannot help but feel that there should be some way to find a solution in a more elegant way.
Is there a way to solve this minimax problem; either in a closed-form solution, or if that's not possible, rewrite it in a way that is more suitable for numerical optimization?

A: You can linearize the problem as follows.  Introduce a decision variable $z$ to represent the $\max$.  The problem is to minimize $z$ subject to your original equations and:
\begin{align}
z &\ge V_i &\text{for all $i$}\\
z &\ge -V_i &\text{for all $i$}\\
z &\ge W_i &\text{for all $i$}\\
z &\ge -W_i &\text{for all $i$}
\end{align}
Now use a linear programming solver.

A: Not a complete answer, but I hope it may give an idea.
Notation: repeated indexes are summed.
You have,
$$
V_i = M^1_{ij}k_j + N_{ij} e_j \qquad W_i = V_i- M^2_{ij}k_j
$$
which implies
$$
V_i = a_j + N_{ij} e_j \qquad W_i = b_i + N_{ij} e_j
$$
where $a = M^1 k $ and  $b = M^1 k-M^2 k $ are fixed  input vectors you can calculate at the beginning of your algorithm.
Now,
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial e_l} \max{(|V|,|W|)} =
\frac{1+sign(|V|-|W|)}{2|V|} (N_{ls}e_s+a_l) +
\frac{1+sign(|W|-|V|)}{2 |W|} (N_{ls}e_s+b_l)
$$
or, using $if(x)$ as a function that gives $1/0$ when $x$ is $true/false$,
$$
|V||W|\frac{\partial}{\partial e_l} \max{(|V|,|W|)} =
|W|(N_{ls}e_s+a_l)\, if(|V|>|W|) +
|V|(N_{ls}e_s+b_l) \, if(|W|>|V|)
$$
Now that you have the gradient of the function you want to minimize you can apply some technique based on the gradient descent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent).

Biography of William Bligh, Captain of the HMS Bounty
Wikimedia Commons / Public Domain
William Bligh (September 9, 1754–December 7, 1817) was a British mariner who had the bad luck, timing and temperament to be aboard two ships—HMS Bounty in 1789 and the HMS Director in 1791—on which the crew mutinied. Accounted in his own time as hero, villain, and then a hero, he retired as a Vice-Admiral to the Lambeth district in London and died peacefully.
Fast Facts: William Bligh
Known For: Captain of the HMS Bounty during the 1789 mutiny
Born: September 9, 1754 in Plymouth (or perhaps Cornwall), England
Parents: Francis and Jane Pearce Bligh
Died: London on December 7, 1817 in London
Education: Shipped as "captain's servant" at the age of 7
Published Works: The Mutiny on Board HMS Bounty
Spouse: Elizabeth "Betsy" Betham (m. 1781–his death)
Children: Seven
William Bligh was born on September 9, 1754, in Plymouth, England (or perhaps Cornwall), the only son of Francis and Jane Bligh. His father was Chief of Customs at Plymouth, and his mother died in 1770; Francis remarried twice more before dying himself in 1780.
From an early age, Bligh was destined for a life at sea as his parents enlisted him as a "captain's servant" to Captain Keith Stewart at the age of 7 years and 9 months. That wasn't a full-time position, that meant occasionally sailing aboard HMS Monmouth. This practice was fairly common as it allowed youngsters to quickly accrue the years of service needed in order to take the exam for lieutenant, and for a ship's captain to make a bit of income while in port. Returning home in 1763, he quickly proved himself gifted at mathematics and navigation. After his mother's death, he re-entered the navy in 1770, at the age of 16.
William Bligh's Early Career
Though meant to be a midshipman, Bligh was initially carried as an able seaman as there were no midshipman's vacancies on his ship, HMS Hunter. This soon changed and he received his midshipman's warrant the following year and later served aboard HMS Crescent and HMS Ranger. Quickly becoming well known for his navigation and sailing skills, Bligh was selected by explorer Captain James Cook to accompany his third expedition to the Pacific in 1776. After sitting for his lieutenant's exam, Bligh accepted Cook's offer to be sailing master aboard HMS Resolution. On May 1, 1776, he was promoted to lieutenant.
Expedition to the Pacific
Departing in June 1776, Resolution and HMS Discovery sailed south and entered the Indian Ocean via the Cape of Good Hope. During the voyage, Bligh's leg was injured, but he quickly recovered. While crossing the southern Indian Ocean, Cook discovered a small island, which he named Bligh's Cap in honor of his sailing master. Over the next year, Cook and his men touched at Tasmania, New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti, as well as explored the southern coast of Alaska and the Bering Straight. The purpose for his operations off Alaska was a failed search for the Northwest Passage.
Returning south in 1778, Cook became the first European to visit Hawaii. He returned the following year and was killed on the Big Island after an altercation with the Hawaiians. During the fighting, Bligh was instrumental in recovering Resolution's foremast which had been taken ashore for repairs. With Cook dead, Captain Charles Clerke of Discovery took command and a final attempt to find the Northwest Passage was attempted. Throughout the voyage, Bligh performed well and lived up to his reputation as a navigator and a chart maker. The expedition returned to England in 1780.
Return to England
Returning home a hero, Bligh impressed his superiors with his performance in the Pacific. On February 4, 1781, he married Elizabeth ("Betsy") Betham, the daughter of a customs collector from Manx: he and Betsy would eventually have seven children. Ten days later, Bligh was assigned to HMS Belle Poule as sailing master. That August, he saw action against the Dutch at the Battle of Dogger Bank. After the battle, he was made a lieutenant on HMS Berwick. Over the next two years, he saw regular service at sea until the end of the American War of Independence forced him onto the inactive list. Unemployed, Bligh served as a captain in the merchant service between 1783 and 1787.
Voyage of the Bounty
In 1787, Bligh was selected as the commander of His Majesty's Armed Vessel Bounty and given the mission of sailing to the South Pacific to collect breadfruit trees. It was believed that these trees could be transplanted to the Caribbean to provide inexpensive food for slaves in British colonies. Departing on December 27, 1787, Bligh attempted to enter the Pacific via Cape Horn. After a month of trying, he turned and sailed east around the Cape of Good Hope. The voyage to Tahiti proved smooth and few punishments were given to the crew. As Bounty was rated as a cutter, Bligh was the only officer on board.
To permit his men longer periods of uninterrupted sleep, he divided the crew into three watches. In addition, he raised Master's Mate Fletcher Christian to the rank of acting lieutenant so that he could oversee one of the watches. The delay off Cape Horn led to a five-month delay in Tahiti, as they had to wait for the breadfruit trees to mature enough to transport. Over this period, naval discipline began to break down as the crew took native wives and enjoyed the island's warm sun. At one point, three crewmen attempted to desert but were captured. Though they were punished, it was less severe than recommended.
In addition to the behavior of the crew, several of the senior warrant officers, such as the boatswain and sailmaker, were negligent in their duties. On April 4, 1789, Bounty departed Tahiti, much to the displeasure of many of the crew. On the night of April 28, Fletcher Christian and 18 of the crew surprised and bound Bligh in his cabin. Dragging him on deck, Christian bloodlessly took control of the ship despite the fact that most of the crew sided with the captain. Bligh and 18 loyalists were forced over the side into Bounty's cutter and given a sextant, four cutlasses, and several days food and water.
Voyage to Timor
As Bounty turned to return to Tahiti, Bligh set course for the nearest European outpost at Timor. Though dangerously overloaded, Bligh succeeded in sailing the cutter first to Tofua for supplies, then on to Timor. After sailing 3,618 miles, Bligh arrived at Timor after a 47-day voyage. Only one man was lost during the ordeal when he was killed by natives on Tofua. Moving on to Batavia, Bligh was able to secure transport back to England. In October 1790, Bligh was honorably acquitted for the loss of Bounty and records show him to have been a compassionate commander who frequently spared the lash.
Subsequent Career
In 1791, Bligh returned to Tahiti aboard HMS Providence to complete the breadfruit mission. The plants were successfully delivered to the Caribbean without any trouble. Five years later, Bligh was promoted to captain and given command of HMS Director. While aboard, his crew mutinied as part of the greater Spithead and Nore mutinies which occurred over the Royal Navy's handling of pay and prize money. Standing by his crew, Bligh was commended by both sides for his handling of the situation. In October of that year, Bligh commanded Director at the Battle of Camperdown and successfully fought three Dutch ships at once.
Leaving Director, Bligh was given HMS Glatton. Participating in the 1801 Battle of Copenhagen, Bligh played a key role when he elected to continue flying Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson's signal for battle rather than hoisting Admiral Sir Hyde Parker's signal to break off the fight. In 1805, Bligh was made governor of New South Wales (Australia) and tasked with ending the illegal rum trade in the area. Arriving in Australia, he made enemies of the army and several of the locals by fighting the rum trade and aiding distressed farmers. This discontent led to Bligh being deposed in the 1808 Rum Rebellion.
After spending over a year collecting evidence, he returned home in 1810 and was vindicated by the government. Promoted to rear admiral in 1810, and vice-admiral fours years later, Bligh never held another sea command. He died while visiting his doctor on Bond Street in London on December 7, 1817.
