The Crazy World of Walter Sanning (Part 3)
Author: Jonathan Harrison
In Part 2 of this series, we examined Sanning's distortion of a wartime Jewish source. In this third part, we examine his false dating of Nazi demographic data.
Sanning builds a deliberate deception into Table 6 (p.75-78), which purports to show the populations of major cities in the Soviet Union (including former eastern Poland) immediately prior to the Nazi invasion of June 1941. Sanning's footnote 'j' (p.78) reveals that most of these data are taken from a Nazi document written in January 1943:
j. Zentralblatt des Reichskommissars für die Ukraine, Rowno, 2. Jahrgang, No. 2, 9. January 1943, S. 8-20.
On page 85, Sanning uses this same document to note that the "local population living under German administration in the RK Ukraine numbered 16.91 million as of January 1, 1943." Sanning must therefore know that the figures in Table 6 should apply to that date, not the date that the Nazis invaded the USSR, yet he still brazenly goes on to claim that reductions in the population of Ukraine between 1939 and January 1, 1943, were due entirely to Soviet action, despite the fact that the Nazis had been in the Ukraine for eighteen months at that point:
…the pre-war population of the Ukraine must have numbered more than 22.5m; however, the Germans found less than 17 million. One-quarter of the population had disappeared.
Sanning has therefore deliberately converted the Jews murdered by the Nazis between June 1941 and January 1943 into Soviet deportees by conflating the two dates and pretending the population data for January 1943 refer to June 1941.
Sanning's distortions concerning the Soviet Union are systematic. For example, Zimmerman has shown how Sanning repeatedly distorts sources relating to Soviet evacuation policy to give the misleading impression that most Jews were evacuated, when in fact those sources state explicitly that most Jews "could not or would not leave."
The date of Sanning's Nazi source is also revealing because it coincides with that of the Korherr Report, which covered the same time frame as Sanning's source (i.e. up the end of 1942) but openly admitted that the reductions in population were caused by Nazi policy. For example, at the foot of page 2 of his "short" report (which was specifically produced for Hitler's attention), Korherr helpfully summarized the results of Nazi killings. Roberto has translated this table as follows:
Region; Time of Taking over of Power; Number of Jews before Taking over of Power; Number of Jews on 31.12.1942
Old Reich and Sudetenland; 30.1.1933 and 29.9.1938; 561,000 and 30,000; 51,327
Ostmark [Austria after annexation, translator's note]; 13.3.1938; 220,000; 8,102
Bohemia and Moravia; 16.3.1939; 118,000; 15,550
Eastern Territories (with Bialystok); September 1939 (June 1940); 790,000; 233,210
General Government (with Lemberg); September 1939 (June 1940); 2,000,000; 297,914.
Sum Total; - ; 3,719,000; 606,103
Sanning's failure to discuss this report reveals his discomfort with its contents. For example, Sanning's fraudulent figures are clearly exposed by the transportation data to the Operation Reinhard camps that can be found in the Korherr Report, and also in the Hoefle Telegram and Arad's Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka. These all tell a similar story. Sanning had claimed that only 857,000 Jews were left in western Poland after the rest fled over the demarcation line, yet Korherr's figures show that a higher number of Jews than this was transferred to the Reinhard camps and Chelmno:
Number passed through the camp in the general government [of Poland]... 1,274,166 [and] through the camp at Warthegau [Chelmno]…145,301
The Hoefle Telegram repeated the total of 1,274,166, consisting of 24,733 at Majdanek, 434,508 at Belzec, 101,370 at Sobibor and 713,555 at Treblinka.
Arad estimates the total transported at 1.7 million. Furthermore, Arad's breakdown of transports from specific locations refutes Sanning's claim that the reductions in population occurred before the Nazi invasion. For example, Sanning (p.42) claims that 50,000 Jewish refugees had been deported from Lvov by the Soviets, but Arad demonstrates that over 70,000 Jews were deported from Lvov to Belzec.

When your child is old enough to brush their own teeth, it can be a challenge to get them to do it. Most kids don't actively want to brush their teeth, just like they don't want to bathe, take naps, eat vegetables or clean up their rooms. However, it's important to promote good brushing habits early on.
Get your child a toothbrush that they're excited about. There are plenty of children's toothbrushes that feature characters from their favorite movies, Disney cartoons, race cars, princesses, dinosaurs, animals, sea creatures and more. Toothbrushes also come in various colors, so whether your little one wants something sparkly and pink or bright neon green, they'll have a choice. Bring your child with you to the store to choose a toothbrush and you might find that brushing becomes less of a hassle.
Turning a mundane task into a game is a great way to make it more enjoyable. Something like "I bet I can brush my teeth better than you" is a great way to get your child excited to brush their teeth.
This doesn't mean you should pay your child to brush their teeth. However, you can set up some kind of rewards system that directly connects to dental care. Perhaps your child can stay up an extra 30 minutes if they brush their teeth and take a bath before bed. You could also offer them a prize for 30 days of consistent brushing. Whatever the incentive is, it's a great way to get your child to brush.
It might feel silly, but turning tooth brushing into a story is a good way to encourage your kids to brush. Plaque monsters could be invading the Teeth Kingdom and the only way to get rid of them is with the powerful toothbrush.
When everything else fails, make an effort to lead by example. Show your children that brushing is essential to a healthy life. Your kids naturally want to be like you, so take advantage of that. Spend quality time with your children and show them the benefits of a bright and healthy smile.

Q: DynamoDb scan for nested attribute (.NET) I've looked around the internet for an answer to this, but sadly to no avail, and the AWS Dynamo docs don't answer it either.
I have a dynamo db document structure like this :
{
    EmailAddress: test@test.com,
    Account: {
                 AccountGuid: <guid>,
                 Roles: ["test", "test1"]
              }
}

I'm trying to get all email addresses and associated roles from the table where AccountGuid is a specific value.
I'm using the AWSSDK for .Net.
var result = Users.Scan(new ScanOperationConfig {
            FilterExpression = new Expression
            {
                ExpressionStatement = "Account.AccoundGuid = :guid",
                ExpressionAttributeValues = new Dictionary<string, DynamoDBEntry>()
                {
                    {":guid", new Primitive(accountGuid.ToString())}
                }
            },
            AttributesToGet = new List<string> { "EmailAddress", "Account.Roles" },
            Select = SelectValues.SpecificAttributes,
            });

I can't get it to work, and I have no idea why. I've tried using ScanFilter also, but couldn't get that working either.
Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers.

A: Did you mean to address "AccountGuid" rather than "AccoundGuid" in the expression statement?

SAN DIEGO — Marine 1st Lt. Brandy Soublet is about as far from the war front as possible at her desk in the California desert, but she's on the front lines of an experiment that could one day put women as close to combat as their male peers.
The Penfield, N.Y. woman is one of 45 female Marines assigned this summer to 19 all-male combat battalions. The Defense Department in the past year has opened thousands of combat positions to women to slowly integrate them and gauge the impact such a social change would have on the military's ability to fight wars.
No branch is likely to feel that change more than the Marine Corps.
The small, tight-knit force is the most male of the armed services and prides itself on having the toughest and most aggressive warriors. The Corps historically has higher casualty rates because it is considered to be the "tip of the spear," or the first to respond to conflicts. It also was among the last military branches to open its doors to women, forming the first female Corps in 1943, according to the Women's Memorial in Washington D.C.
But changing times are challenging the traditions of the force, long likened to a brotherhood.
Modern warfare has put women in combat like never before over the past decade, even though a 1994 policy bars them from being assigned to ground combat units below the brigade level, which were considered too dangerous since they are often smaller and closer to combat for longer periods.
Already under pressure to provide the same opportunities for women, the Defense Department was hit Tuesday with a second lawsuit by female service members — including two Marines — charging that the gender barriers unfairly block them from promotions open to men in combat.
The lawsuits are intended to accelerate the military's slow march toward lifting the ban that plaintiffs allege has barred women from 238,000 positions.
Defense officials say they recently opened 14,500 jobs to women, and they need to move cautiously to ensure the change will not disrupt wartime operations. Soublet and the other 44 women are part of the quiet, slow transformation. Women make up about 7 percent of the Marine Corps compared to about 14 percent overall among the military's 1.4 million active military personnel.
She said some Marines initially eyed her pioneering presence in the all-male battalion with skepticism.
"The way that I would describe it to friends and family was it was kind of like I showed up to work in a costume," the 25-year-old logistics officer said in a phone interview from Twenty-Nine Palms, a remote desert base east of San Diego. "They stared a little bit but after a while it wasn't like that anymore."
That experience may play out on bases and boats worldwide as the Pentagon levels the battlefield.
The Corps earlier this year opened its grueling infantry officer training school to female Marines and surveyed 53,000 of its troops with an anonymous online questionnaire about the impact of erasing gender barriers. Survey results are expected to be released soon after review by the defense secretary.
Only two female Marines volunteered for the 13-week infantry training course at Quantico, Va., and both failed to complete it this fall. No women have volunteered so far for the next course offered in January, officials said.
Soublet said she was nervous she would feel unwelcome in the combat engineer battalion.
Six months into her historic assignment, she said she has been treated equally.
"I have heard, you know, whisperings, like 'Hey, before you got here we decided to maybe take down some pictures and clean up our language a little bit,' but other than that, they haven't really expressed anything to me," said Soublet, who will remain two years in her battalion and is expected to deploy with them to Afghanistan this spring.
The Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James F. Amos said he met with the top leaders of the 19 battalions and told them to establish the proper command climate. The early steps of assigning females to artillery, tank, combat engineer and other all-male battalions have been successful, but there may be some anxiety if women join infantry, Amos said.
Camp Pendleton combat Marine Carlos Laguna, who left the Corps in 2011, agreed.
"The screams of women, they have a big psychological effect on men. A woman just has a different pitch," said Laguna, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after two tours in Iraq. "If we're in a firefight and a woman is shot or lost her arm, male Marines like me would want to stop and help. It's our nature to help women."
The survey addressed those concerns, asking males if they would be distracted or "feel obligated to protect female Marines." It also asked whether women would be limited because of pregnancy or personal issues.
Female Marines were asked if they would feel pressured to suppress their femininity.
Former Marine Capt. Kristen Kavanaugh, who runs The Military Acceptance Project, a San Diego-based organization promoting equality in the services, found those questions offensive.
"I don't think women who signed up to give their life for their country are worried about the appearance of their femininity," she said.
Former Camp Pendleton Marine Capt. Anu Bhagwati was only the second woman to complete a martial arts instructor training school, earning a black belt in close combat techniques. But she said years of discrimination caused her to quit in 2004.
"I learned early on that the Marine Corps will expect you to fail if you are a woman," said the head of the Service Women's Action Network, which helped the women file the lawsuit. "I faced so much discrimination and sexual harassment that it made me wonder why I was serving."
Soublet said in her three years in the Corps she has found her fellow Marines to be respectful and professional.
"This isn't a big deal," she said. "We're Marines, we're here to do a job and it doesn't matter what our gender is."

Industry Convergence: Protecting Connected Cars by Combining IT and Auto Engineering Skills
Gil Press
270 million mobile computers roam U.S. roads today. Not traditionally associated with either computers or networks, cars and light trucks increasingly serve as end-points of the Internet of Things (IoT). In the first quarter of 2016, mobile carriers reported activating more connected cars than phones for the first time.
Connected cars increase consumer safety and convenience, help protect the environment, and improve traffic management. As new cars manufactured in the near future will be connected to the cloud, traffic signs, road sensors, and other sources of data, they will alert drivers to potential road hazards, help prevent collisions, provide timely car maintenance, improve the driving experience, and deliver new infotainment services to drivers and passengers.
These benefits of the digital transformation of transportation go hand-in-hand with the potential downsides of increased accessibility such as vulnerability to cyberattacks. Cybersecurity, however, has not been a major concern of the automobile industry and computer engineering has not been its core competency. This is now changing with the rapid convergence of the IT and automobile industries, the merging of IT skills, best practices, and competencies with the design, manufacturing, and operational excellence that has been the hallmark of the automobile industry for many years.
There are a number of ongoing efforts that facilitate this meeting of the minds to ensure the security of connected cars. An example of the automobile industry reaching out for cybersecurity expertise is the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center, established in 2015. It serves as a central hub for sharing, tracking and analyzing intelligence about cyber threats, vulnerabilities and incidents related to connected cars. The information disseminated by the center helps in the design of connected cars' computer systems that are better protected against cyberattacks.
There are also efforts by automotive industry outsiders to apply their cybersecurity expertise specifically to connected cars. An example is a recent whitepaper published by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), a consortium of nearly 200 companies. The white paper, "Improving Vehicle Cybersecurity: ICT Industry Experience and Perspectives," shares lessons learned by the IT industry to assist car manufacturers with improving vehicle cybersecurity, and highlights the ways by which the IT and automobile industries can benefit from working together. Based on the IT industry's experience with cybersecurity, here are the whitepaper's key suggestions to car manufacturers:
Design and develop cars with in-vehicle security architecture that implements intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms within the vehicle.
Let the external network—and its established policies—help protect the connected car by allowing or denying network access based on the source of the traffic.
Adopt secure coding practices and languages long established in the IT industry. For example, open source libraries that are well-documented and continuously monitored for updates and potential vulnerabilities. Similarly, a Connected Vehicle App Store would ensure connected vehicle apps received wide scrutiny, and that security vulnerabilities could be rapidly identified.
Consider using secure end-to-end data paths and secure connectivity mechanisms (e.g., VPNs, tunneling, and encryption) that protect the data moving through the network.
Implement Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to identify and stop malicious content before it even reaches the vehicle. Working with network providers, car companies can develop a solution that protects consumers' privacy.
Enhance the effectiveness of specific car companies' "bug bounty" programs (offering a payout for reporting new security bugs) by using telecommunication carriers or another third party as a front end. This would enable all car companies and all telecommunications carriers to have the same view of the bugs and risks, improving analysis and mitigation against new vulnerabilities for all members of the connected vehicle ecosystem.
Combining the respective expertise of the automobile and IT industries will result in numerous beneficial outcomes, including designing cars with built-in security and data privacy protection, developing and adopting new security standards in a timely manner, eliminating redundant security research efforts, and developing new services for the connected car market.
The collaboration across industries, engineering disciplines, and best practices is already influencing proposed legislation in the U.S. The Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017, introduced by Senators Steve Daines (R-MT), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Ron Wyden (D-OR), seeks to enforce a basic level of security of IoT devices by using the federal government's buying power. And looking forward to autonomous vehicles—the next stage in the evolution of connected cars—the Highly Automated Vehicle Testing and Deployment Act of 2017 attempts to define a framework for their regulation and is currently working its way through Congress.
The fast-expanding connected web of devices erases industry boundaries, requiring inter-disciplinary and cross-industry efforts to tackle the new challenges. Connected cars drive the convergence of multiple industries and skill-sets—IT, communications, automotive, and consumer electronics—ensuring the safety, security, and satisfaction of millions of drivers and passengers around the world.

Communicating with Mars: The Deep Space Network and Perseverance
Space is a thing of beauty and an enigma that excites artists and scientists alike. The cosmos instills wonder, awe, and inspiration. There is so much potential in the great beyond: to understand more about the nature of life and what is needed for survival and growth, to search for ancient life on Mars in order to understand the planet's future, and to learn more about Mars' atmosphere in order to plan for human exploration.
Uncovering new secrets of the universe cannot happen without NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN), which will communicate with the rover Perseverance once it lands on Mars next year, ensuring that all data and discoveries make it back to Earth. "We are the telephone company of the cosmos," says Sonny Giroux, Peraton's DSN program manager. "DSN is a pipeline between the mission itself and spacecraft, as well as vice versa."
DSN maintains nonstop coverage at its three sites in Goldstone, California; Madrid, Spain; and Canberra, Australia. Each facility has "follow the sun" operation periods each day during which they take control of the full network while staff at the other two sites largely go offline. The DSN is the world's largest and most sensitive telecommunications system, comprised of large antennas with very sensitive receivers and powerful transmitters.
"We have the ability to receive signals at the edge of or beyond the solar system," says Giroux. "These signals come in at a billionth of a billionth of a watt, which we can then amplify, interpret, and disseminate. We are the first to handle new scientific information and we process all images."
Since 1963, the DSN has been the long-distance telephone operator for outer space ventures. Peraton and its predecessor companies have worked with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which operates the DSN, since 2004, including recently on the Juno mission to Jupiter and the Parker Solar Probe to the Sun.
The Deep Space Network has the most powerful antennas, able to send and receive signals from the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

The DSN is involved in every step of the Mars 2020 mission, serving as a communications link long before the Perseverance rover reaches Mars. This means that Peraton's DSN team is an integral part of the Mars 2020 mission, providing mission planning and preparation, compatibility testing and validation of ground stations and spacecraft, and engineering services. The DSN data is used to perform a number of course correction maneuvers that will be needed to hit the very small entry window to Mars. After the maneuvers are determined, the DSN radiates the commands up to the spacecraft, and through telemetry, validates they were executed properly. At all times, Peraton handles sustainment, providing technical expertise and troubleshooting to any element of the Ground Network.
"It would be easier to list what we don't do," jokes Giroux. The Peraton team also operates and maintains the DSN's six large antennas at the 52-square-mile Goldstone complex, as well as multiple network and communications systems, several network operations centers, and facilities for testing and logistics. They can track spacecraft minutes after launch and continue monitoring them during the entire mission.
"We are unique in our facilities engineering," Giroux explains. "We do power cooling and heating, controls, fire protection, and fiber optic connectivity." The Peraton team even handles logistics, such as shipping and receiving whatever materials are needed for the DSN. "It's more complicated than it sounds," he adds.
Each of the DSN sites has a centralized Signal Processing Center with the electronics that move the antennas, process telemetry data, and send out new commands to spacecraft. Peraton's role for Mars 2020 involves this signal processing. "At the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, we are the Network Operations Center for the Mars 2020 spacecraft," says Giroux. "JPL will develop the commands and analyze the data that comes back from Perseverance, and we will be providing all communications."
The DSN provides two types of communication for deep space missions: Direct to Earth and Relay Operations. Direct to Earth is a direct radio signal between the rover on Mars and the DSN. For Relay Operations, signals sent from the rover on Mars are sent to nearby orbiting spacecraft, which send their own data signals back to the DSN along with the rover's Mars data. "Rather than use a significant amount of rover power transmitting to Earth directly, the signals effectively 'hitch a ride' on the data transmission from orbiting spacecraft," explains Goldstone Operations Manager Chris G.
NASA runs deep space missions every day of the year, but there is a unique pressure for a mission like Mars 2020. "We can't fix the spacecraft once it's gone," says Chris G. "Recovery is challenging because if the spacecraft is millions of miles away, we can't just go fix a loose screw."
To avoid these errors, the Peraton team works with JPL engineers to make sure the spacecraft works well with the DSN before it goes on the launchpad. Several years of testing and development go into any deep space launch, including Mars 2020, to make sure every piece of the space vehicle will respond to commands before the pieces are put together, as well as after the vehicle has been assembled. Three months before the Mars 2020 launch, they plan and prep, "down to every member's transportation plans, taking into account social distancing precautions," says Chris G.
Up until the rocket takes off from the launchpad, there is a "critical watch period" between 8 and 24 hours, during which the DSN goes through a checklist of everything that needs to happen for success. "If the launch or descent doesn't go right, you can lose the entire, very expensive spacecraft," says Giroux.
In 2012, JPL engineers described the nail-biting entry, descent, and landing (EDL) from the outer atmosphere of Mars to its surface as "seven minutes of terror." The vehicle's journey is preplanned and unmanned, with absolutely no margin for error. When the previous rover, Curiosity, needed to land on Mars in 2011, the mission team successfully developed solutions to the various problems that came with slowing down a rocket from hypersonic speed to zero at intensely high temperatures in an atmosphere a hundred times thinner than Earth's. Those working on Perseverance have been planning in the same manner.
Since the Perseverance rover is being built with the same heritage equipment as the Mars Science Laboratory Rover, some risks are lower. "Perseverance is fundamentally the same as Curiosity, at least with regards to communications, just some parameter changes" says Chris G. Perseverance will get enhanced wheels, allowing it to travel up to 12 miles on Mars' surface. The new rover also will have the capacity for caching geological samples to be collected by future missions.
There are other factors to consider besides the rover itself. Compared to more local space communications, there is a time lag when communicating with spacecraft in deep space. "Talking to Mars takes anywhere from 14 to 30 minutes for a signal to be sent and an acknowledgement to be received, depending on where Mars is in its orbit," Chris G. explains.
Additional challenges the DSN team face include constant vigilance and course correction during the seven-month "cruise phase" when the spacecraft is on its way to Mars. The DSN will crunch the numbers and make predictions about where the spacecraft is on the journey and what external factors impact its path, catching problems before they arise.
The orbital position of Mars is an important factor in the Mars 2020 mission, beyond just the communications piece of the mission. Since February 2021 is the time when Mars is at its most efficient distance from Earth, the launch needs to be during late July and early August 2020. "Some wonder why NASA is so adamant about doing the launch during this window, but it's because it's either now or two years from now," says Giroux. "Waiting two years could jeopardize this mission and future ones."
The DSN is an indispensable link for space exploration. The focus of Mars 2020 is to characterize the climate and geology of the Red Planet, as well as seek information that can help prepare for a human presence on Mars. Without the stable DSN communications pipeline, there would be no way to bring the wonders of deep space exploration to Earth and our knowledge of the solar system would stagnate.
The Peraton team at JPL is thrilled to support Mars 2020 and excited to see what Perseverance finds.

Enterprise Startup Accelerator Gets Funding Boost From Cisco
Klint Finley	@klintron / 8 years
"Enterprise software is sexy again," Box CEO Aaron Levie declared here at TechCrunch two year ago. Since then Yammer got acquired by Microsoft for $1.2 billion, and companies like Jive Software, Palo Alto Networks and Splunk went public with strong IPOs.
So yeah, enterprise tech startups are hot, if not sexy, and it makes sense that there's are now a tech startup incubator/accelerator focusing solely on enterprise startups: Alchemist Accelerator.
And today Alchemist announced that Cisco is now a backer of the accelerator, along with existing backers Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Khosla Ventures and US Venture Partners.
Also, Alchemist is accepting applications for the next class, which will start September 27, 2012. It's a 24 week program (most incubators are 12 weeks) and those accepted will work with advisers like Yammer CTO Adam Pisoni, Xensource CEO Peter Levine and Sean Ellis of Dropbox. Oh, and they'll get $27,000 of seed funding.
Companies involved in the first class, which began July 5, 2012, have raised money from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Felicis Ventures, Greylock and True Ventures. For example, social CRM company SocialPandas raised $1.5 million from True Ventures and executives from Salesforce.com, VMware and Apple.
The managing director of Alchemist is Ravi Belani, who previously worked at Draper Fisher Jurvetson and worked in the startup world himself before that (at Zaplet and Extensity). He also teaches entrepreneurship at Stanford.
Belani says that the needs of an enterprise startup are very different from the needs of a consumer focused startup because VCs are looking for two different things when they look at companies in each category. While consumer focused startups are all about gaining as many users and as much "traction" as possible, enterprise startups need customer validation. This takes time, which is part of why the Alchemist program is longer than other accelerator programs.
Other than seed funding, which Belani says enterprise startups often have a hard time raising, accelerators provide entrepreneurs with a network of contacts. By focusing on enterprise startups, Alchemist hopes to build the right kind of networks for its entrepreneurs to build successful businesses and land their crucial early customers.
What counts as an "enterprise startup" then? For Alchemist, it comes down to the business model: if the revenue is coming from businesses, it's enterprise. If it's coming from consumers, it's not. Simple enough. Both B2B companies like Salesforce.com and B2B2C companies like Square could be accepted. The exact business model, whether it's freemium model like Yammer or a more traditional licensing fee, doesn't matter. In fact, determining that aspect of the business is one of the areas Belani says the accelerator can really help a startup.
Much like Y Combinator, you can apply to Alchemist without an idea. What Alchemist is really looking for is strong technical cofounders. According the application FAQ: "We will admit purely technical teams, but the ideal team has one or two technical co-founders, and one business-side co-founder."
Although the program doesn't involve co-working, all participants will need to be in the San Francisco Bay area (East coasters might want to check out Acceleprise, a Washington DC based enterprise startup accelerator that launched earlier this year).

Is Freemasonry for Me? What's It All About?
Six Million Reasons.
There are 250,000 Freemasons belonging to 8,000 Lodges throughout England and Wales, and districts overseas. Worldwide, the figure rises to six million Freemasons, all with their own special reasons why they enjoy Freemasonry. For some, it's about making new friends and acquaintances. For others, it's being able to help deserving causes – making a contribution to family and society. But for most, it is simply an enjoyable hobby. Every Freemason has his own reason for joining. What's yours?
Principled
Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations.
For many, its biggest draw is the fact that members come from all walks of life and meet as equals whatever their race, religion or socio-economic position in society.
Its values are based on integrity, kindness, honesty and fairness.
"FREEMASONRY DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON GROUNDS OF RACE, COLOUR, RELIGION, POLITICAL VIEWS OR SOCIAL STANDING"
The United Grand Lodge of England is the governing body of Freemasonry in England, Wales and the Channel Islands. Built in 1933, Freemasons' Hall is the headquarters of the Grand Lodge and is a classic example of Art Deco architecture in the heart of London's Covent Garden.
Freemasonry provides a unique environment for people from all backgrounds to learn skills, make lasting friendships, achieve their potential and, above all, have fun.
What is more, the organisation provides a valuable forum for discussion between members in an open environment, helping to build trust.
"I WANTED TO BECOME A FREEMASON TO MEET A CROSS SECTION OF PEOPLE, MAKE LONG LASTING FRIENDSHIPS AND HAVE FUN!"
Guy Delmage is a member of the Connaught Club, which encourages young Freemasons to meet and socialise with like-minded people of a similar age. The club has an annual picnic on Lincoln's Inn Fields in London for friends and family. It also meets more informally every month at the local pub.
Freemasonry prides itself on its transparency. Not only are Freemasons completely free to acknowledge their membership, they are encouraged to do so.
There are no closed doors in Freemasonry – anyone can visit its headquarters at Freemasons' Hall in London – and Lodges throughout the UK regularly open their doors to visitors. For everyone, Lodges offer a place of harmony and tranquillity.
"WITH HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTERS AND LANDMARK TV SHOWS SHOOTING HERE, WE WELCOME OVER 100,000 VISITORS EVERY YEAR TO FREEMASONS' HALL"
During London Fashion Week, new and seasoned designers descend upon Freemasons' Hall in Covent Garden to promote their collections to a global audience of fashion media, buyers, celebrities and style authorities.
Freemasons make a major contribution to society through their own charities, as well as through donations to UK charities and worldwide disaster relief funds, with members playing an active role in their communities.
"WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE ANY EXTERNAL FUNDRAISING – ALL MONEY DONATED COMES FROM OUR
OWN EFFORTS"
Established in 1980, The Freemasons' Grand Charity has donated over £100 million to a range of charitable causes. It responds when natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and droughts occur anywhere in the world.
Freemasonry is more relevant and important to society today than ever, as it encompasses and embraces all the fundamental principles of good citizenship.
Many of these are learnt through traditional rituals that take the form of one-act plays, leading to increased self-esteem
and confidence.
"WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WITH THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF TALENT, IT'S VITAL THAT YOU GIVE THEM THE SUPPORT AND OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A SUCCESS OF THEIR LIVES"
Joshua Tonnar is a 21-year-old rower who is pursuing his Olympic dream thanks to funding from TalentAid, a scheme run by one of the four central masonic charities. It has already helped two hundred and fifty exceptionally gifted young people.
Every Freemason embarks on his own journey of self-discovery when he enters the organisation.
With three levels of Freemasonry, the progression through to senior roles within a Lodge can be seen in much the same way as a person progressing in his career – each promotion bringing greater understanding and responsibility.
"FREEMASONRY HAS HELPED BUILD MY CONFIDENCE, ENABLING ME TO TACKLE CHALLENGES I USED TO SHY AWAY FROM"
Whether you want to meet up at a local Lodge to find a quiet haven from the rest of the world or push yourself to your limits, Freemasonry has a breadth that will appeal to anyone who wants to broaden his horizons. It is up to the individual to make his own journey and to find his own understanding.
Find Your Reason.
There are many reasons for joining the Freemasons.
We can answer any questions you might have about our history, our future, what we believe in, the kind of work we do or which of our Long Sutton Lodges are most convenient to your personal commitments.
Here is a short film outlining the fundamental values of what it means to be a Freemason.
If you are interested in becoming a freemason or just want to learn more, please send your details to one of our Lodge Secretaries.

Design your wood with midcentury mod. This layout seems minimalist and simple. You are able to employ'60 s type or style. Choose walnut color for your wood island or door, also you're able to utilize white colour given that white reflect simplicity. This style brings mid century look yet modern day design.
ceiling panels wood veneered wood ceiling panels square are needed to maintain our wood. A wood that doesn't have at least a dining table and chairs isn't a perfect wood. As we are aware that a dining table and seats are available in various styles, colors, sizes, and shapes, so it seems easy for us to select. In reality, it is not that easy. We are in need of advice to purchase them. Bear in mind, to buy them is like to buy investments, right? They're things that we don't purchase every day. That is why we have to purchase the perfect ones to get wood carefully. It is always suggested to buy wood tables together with chairs. Below is the advice to choose and purchase a wood table with seats.
Round table and seat are all perfect for little wood. It's edge-less so it will create added awareness of distance and it is simple to put it anywhere. Round-table can be safer as it doesn't possess pointy edges. So, it's the exceptional alternative for property with kids.
First of all, we could opt for letter U type for this type of wood pub. For possessing U style, it is easy to arrange the tables and chairs around U situation. It is really going to make the fresh feeling of one's wood area, right? Letter U concept is quite an easy task to generate. You can take action yourself now.
They could be just like a skate board. When you escape the chair, it may be similar to skating, and if you want return to your chair, it might ben't in the place you anticipate. It is possible that you fall, not to mention that you will be quite exhausted just to put the seat in the ideal position. They can be broken down so readily when someone hefty sits . They could damage the floors. Make sure we consult specialist initially before we opt to buy a ceiling panels wood veneered wood ceiling panels square for our wood or for other rooms in the house.
Secondly, try the pub seatings. For those who have really limited space, it is suggested for you to take into account that the pub seatings. Bar seats are extremely sensible. It needs only the smallest area . You are able to even keep the chairs underneath the wood island use it as extra seatings whenever you will find more individuals coming to get food.

Mass Stabbing Attack On Schoolgirls In Japan – Kills 2, Injures 16
Mac Slavo May 28, 2019
A homicidal maniac wielding two knives, one in each hand, attacked schoolgirls awaiting a bus in Japan. "I will kill you," the man screamed as he attacked schoolgirls waiting at the bus stop just outside Tokyo on Tuesday, killing two and injuring 16 before killing himself.
The police in Japan have not released much information about the attacker just yet. According to Market Watch, most of the victims were schoolgirls who were lined up at a bus stop near Noborito Park in the city of Kawasaki when a man in his 50s began slashing them with knives. City officials, quoting police, said that the suspect was captured but has already died from a self-inflicted cut to the neck.
The mainstream media is not widely reporting on this story (although they have touched on it) because the killer used knives to take the lives of other humans. It could also be because the attacker was coming for schoolgirls at a local Catholic school, said Masami Arai, an official at the Kawasaki city office. Arai said three of the injuries were serious and 13 others were not life-threatening.
Since this cannot be turned into a propaganda piece for the destruction of gun rights in the United States, the media is not likely to care much about the deaths by knife. Most of the victims attended Caritas Gakuen, a well-known private school founded by Soeurs de la Charite de Quebec, an organization of Catholic nuns in Quebec City in Canada.
Kanagawa prefectural police only confirmed the death of sixth-grade schoolgirl Hanako Kuribayashi, 11, from Tokyo. Hospital officials at a televised news conference confirmed the 11-year-old's death as well as that of a man in his 30s, saying both of them had been slashed in the head, chest, and face.
Separately, doctors at St. Marianna University School of Medicine, said a man in his 50s died at the hospital after being brought in from the crime scene with neck injuries. City officials and the media said the man is the suspect. -Market Watch
Although Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, it has had a series of high-profile killings, including in 2016 when a former employee at a home for the disabled allegedly killed 19 and injured more than 20 others.
In 2008, seven people were killed by a man who slammed a truck into a crowd of people in central Tokyo's Akihabara electronics district and then stabbed passers-by.
Also in 2016, a man stabbed four people at a library in northeastern Japan, allegedly over their mishandling of his questions. No one was killed.

La Batalla de Navarro (Navarro, provincia de Buenos Aires, 9 de diciembre de 1828) fue un combate de las guerras civiles argentinas entre unitarios y federales, que resultó una victoria de las fuerzas unitarias del general Juan Lavalle sobre las milicias federales bajo el mando del coronel Manuel Dorrego, gobernador legal de la provincia de Buenos Aires, al que aquel había derrocado.

Antecedentes

Después de la caída de la presidencia de Bernardino Rivadavia, el jefe del partido federal, Manuel Dorrego, fue elegido gobernador de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Pero se vio obligado, por presión del gobierno británico y de los accionistas del Banco de Buenos Aires, a firmar la paz con el Imperio del Brasil, otorgando la independencia a la República Oriental del Uruguay. El partido unitario se oponía activamente a Dorrego, y cuando se firmó la paz unieron a su causa a los jefes militares que habían hecho la guerra al Imperio, indignados por el tratado de paz.

Convencieron al jefe de las fuerzas porteñas, general Juan Lavalle, a unirse a ellos. El 1.º de diciembre de 1828, este derrocó al gobernador. Dorrego se trasladó al interior de la provincia, delegando el mando en el general Juan Ramón Balcarce mientras organizaba el ejército que debía reponerlo en el mando. Pero Balcarce tuvo que rendirse a Lavalle, que ese mismo día se hizo elegir gobernador en una asamblea de sus partidarios en el atrio de una iglesia.

Desde entonces, ambos contendientes se consideraban a sí mismo el gobernador legal, y al otro como un usurpador. Dorrego reunió tropas en el interior de la provincia, sobre todo las fuerzas de milicias rurales al mando del coronel Juan Manuel de Rosas y algunos indios amigos. Lavalle salió a enfrentarlo, por lo que el gobernador legal y Rosas decidieron unir sus fuerzas a las del coronel Ángel Pacheco, en el norte de la provincia.

Desarrollo

Pero inesperadamente Dorrego cambió de idea y decidió presentar batalla en el pueblo de Navarro. Aunque había elegido el campo de batalla, la rapidez del ataque de Lavalle le dio la ventaja de la sorpresa, a la que se sumaba una muy superior preparación militar de sus fuerzas y un mejor armamento.

Los 600 coraceros de Lavalle atacaron de frente a los 2.000 milicianos gauchos de Dorrego y los pusieron en fuga, dejando en el campo de batalla más de cien muertos.

Consecuencias

Dorrego se retiró hacia el norte de la provincia, refugiándose en el campamento de Pacheco; pero dos de sus oficiales, Bernardino Escribano y Mariano Acha, se sublevaron contra ellos y arrestaron a Dorrego. Pocos días más tarde, instigado por sus aliados unitarios, Lavalle ordenaba el fusilamiento del gobernador Dorrego en Navarro.

Esta batalla decidió la guerra entre Dorrego y Lavalle, pero al mismo tiempo inició una guerra civil generalizada a todo el país entre unitarios y federales. Ésta dejaría la provincia de Buenos Aires en manos de Rosas y el litoral fluvial controlado por el caudillo federal de la provincia de Santa Fe, Estanislao López. En cuanto a las provincias del interior, tras dos años de dominio del general unitario José María Paz, la guerra concluyó con la victoria federal y el dominio casi absoluto del caudillo Juan Facundo Quiroga.

Earlier this month, Virginia Tech installed a new president, Dr. Timothy Sands. This very special occasion was marked by a series of events held across campus, including a faculty parade, an ice cream social, live performances, and an academic showcase of VT research and innovation.
President Sands is now in the process of personally visiting all the Colleges and Institutes that comprise the university. Today, he and Vice Provost Jack Finney visited the College of Natural Resources. While touring Latham Hall with Dean Winistorfer, they stopped by the Schoenholtz Lab to get a brief overview of the "water lab".
Greeting him were Dr. Schoenholtz, and lab members Tony Timpano, Dave Mitchum, Damion Drover, Kyle Dost, and Lindsay Nolan.
Welcome to our College, Dr. Sands!
Kyle Dost is an undergraduate research technician in the hydrology lab; he plans to graduate this spring with a degree in environmental planning.
Join us for a New Zealand Study Abroad trip at Wintermester!


Just off the east coast off Spain lies this collection of holes in the Mediterranean. They're used to drain the Atlantic, which allows for regular cleaning of the sea-bed. Honestly.
OK, so I have absolutely no idea what they are. Do you?
Link ain't working either. Must be a conspiracy.
Thanks Adam, link fixed. Although I'm sure I double checked it before I posted it. Definitely a conspiracy….
Go Wes, Go: Unlikely to be mussel farms I think. They usually look like this.
Most properbly some kind of fishnets, the white dots looks like a bunch of buoys.
Suckers on the arm of a GIANT SQUID!
I gues it are the cages in which they keep tuna for consumption (tuna farms) during the season they are towed by a tug in order to have fresh water and food.
Could they be a former foundation? Is there oil in the area?
Each circle (cyliner?) looks like it is 50′ in diameter, and about 30′-35′ between each circle. Some of the circles are out of true, and it looks like there is some sort of sand(?) wake extending from it under the water, which implies it's been there for a while.
Obviously, it's the framwork for a giant-sized BattleShip game.
Before you die, you see the ring.
I think the small white "boat" southeast of the hole farm is a permanent object. It seems to appear in this EarthSat 15m shot from 1999 (compared to DigitalGlobe taken 2003).
According to Map24 the nearby Spanish town is Alcala de Xivert, the main part of which is Alcossebre. I've contacted the Alcossebre website to see if they have any idea.
The Spanish Journal of the Official Gazette published the government teh declaration of "zonas de acondicionamiento marino" (sea condition zone?) where artificial reefs are going to be built.
I have made some quick calculations and i think the coordinates are in the same area of the "mystery holes".
Here are also some Canadian aliens !
Those are fish farms, aquaculture. As are the similar looking round things off the Blandford Penninsula in Nova Scotia in the post above. Here is some info: http://www.clf.org/programs/cases.asp?id=207. Here are some more near Barcelona: View Placemark. They're floating nets — that's probably why the circles aren't perfectly round.
Its a submerged top-secret Irish war sub…. shhh!
Matt Schneider is right. If you look these areas up in PurpleFinder.com's navigational charts (http://www.purplefinder.com/Wiki.jsp?page=livedemo) you get a little fish-in-a-box symbol (or in the case of the one off the coast of Spain a whole bunch of fish symbols. If you've ever been to a land based fish hatchery they look very similar.
Look at the trail going toward the SW. Now look at the boat to the west: it has exactly the same trail. So that would imply that it was moving, wouldn't it?
Matt Schneider's first link (post 20) is more than proof enough to me. The pics off Nova Scotia (with the same white dots) are absolutely positively of a Fish Farm and they are almost identical.
Yes, I think Matt Schneider is right.
Oh!I have to say they look like some disgusting creatures, maybe from mars.
These ARE fish farms, aquaculture. I'm actually nearby down here in Spain at the moment and I went to the Spanish town of Alcala de Xivert to find out for you guys out there. I first spoke showed the photo to some local people who confirmed that those ARE fish farms. I even managed to find and talk to the owner/operator of the fishfarm who even took me out there in his boat. The rings are underwater floating nets and the white dots are buoys on the water surface.
as Valencia is known as the home of the spanisch paella, I´m quite sure these are floating nets. Either for lobster or blue mussels. Maybe lobster. They are cannibals and need a lot of space. The circles have a diameter of 15 meters.
Greetings from Spain, there are two artificial reef in front of Castellon, that image is one of them, respect the boxes, there are fish farm for one thing called "mejillon" something like a clam, those kind of clam are famous in Galicia, if you travel maybe you like. There is no alien or space creatures.
if you look at the waves…..it's moving!!!!!
i can quite categorically say it is a triangle? keep it to yourselves.
Well obviously it moving. you can see the wake from it.
I believe amio cajander might be right. I have found a few more of these things along the Spanish coast.
I think these may be the mines. a hoard of the sea mines to destroy submarines.
They are fish farms. I spend my hollydays in Alcossebre every year since 1995. The waves are produced by the current. The fish farm dont move, but the water surrounding does.
As I suspected and Knud Limschou confirmed, it is a fishery. The nets are about 50ft in diameter and allow the sea water to pass through them to give the breeding fish their natural environment (in captivity), and the fishery is about 930ft long by 335ft wide. The fishery is well marked by 4 outer buoys for passing ships to spot and avoid as well as the 4 buoys surrounding each of the 24 nets.
According to this article on the Flavorpill network, they're fish-farms in the mediterranean.


Connect with the purpose first, then the paycheck.
The employee engagement battle is always between the paycheck and the purpose. You and we know how important culture and values are for the success of the employee and hence the organization. But truth be told, a dry session or a less humane PowerPoint presentation is not going to make employees connect with the values. Culture and Values are best adopted by experiencing them. That's what we do. We help your employees experience the true meaning behind your culture and values. Here is how we do it.
A great communication medium to enable employees self explore your values and culture in an engaging way. We have created various street plays, based on diverse themes that can be deployed in a road show format. These theatre shows are designed to engage employees in an impromptu manner ensuring a more meaningful and powerful experience.
We have several large format engagement ideas and events that can involve thousands of employees at the same time. In many of our client engagements, we've designed a large canvas based art project that engaged all employees in a single activity. This ensured a memorable communication of culture and values.
This is one of our core strengths. Ever since our inception we have designed and deployed floor games that can truly capture the essence of your core values, culture or any other critical organization wide initiatives such as – diversity, inclusiveness, gender sensitivity, risk and security. We really understand employees and have the skills to roll out nation wide campaigns that truly work.
For organisations who are looking for employee engagement options that can easily scale across the country or even outside, we can design and host a series of fun games aligned with your values. From treasure hunts to multi level challenges to quizzes, we have designed them all for numerous customers.

"The Indianapolis Records" by Alan Hess (Stuart and Richards, 112 pp., 10s. 6d.).
Alan Hess, in this beautifully-produced book, has placed on record the full and intimate story of the successful record-attack at Indianapolis last April by the Austin A90 "Atlantic."
As he is Public Relations Officer to the Austin Motor Company, Ltd., it must be assumed that he wrote this book to further Austin prestige and certainly it is difficult to see how such a lavish publication, with its many full-page photographs and four-colour plates, could sell for the price it does without the blessing of the Austin Company.
All credit, therefore, that, as he himself admits, Hess "pulls no punches" and gives us not only candid facts about the entire record bid but in places some pretty pithy comments on people and things encountered during his out-and-home trip to America.
Naturally, in the course of so detailed an account some interesting fresh aspects of the run come to light, in spite of the very considerable publicity which this 11,850 miles' motoring at 70.54 m.p.h. achieved. The details of the pit-drill are most interesting. One learns that after six hours Buckley had a narrow escape from injury through the car being started with its alligator bonnet insecurely fastened, and once Hess was troubled by being given the "Faster" signal when the "O.K." was intended, while some time later the car was despatched with an empty radiator. No further incidents of this sort occurred, emphasising that Davis soon had command of the mechanics! Full sympathy, incidentally, must go out to Hess for suffering a severe gum haemorrhage during his early driving spells, necessitating hospital treatment when he came off duty. That empty radiator put paid to the first attempt, for the engine lost all its power, after earlier overheating which replacement of gaskets, water-pump, radiator cap and air-cleaner-element had failed to cure. It now seems that a leaking radiator was the cause and during the renewed attempt this was overcome by adding liquid solder to the cooling water — as this was a stock car the humorist will want to know whether he must do this on taking delivery of his own A90!
The run commenced with a spare engine installed, using the cylinder head that had been borrowed from it when the original engine had overheated — quite why another head, from an A90 which had come from a local showroom as a practice car, differed from these two heads from England, both the A90s in America being non-standard, is just one of those things! Fortunately the "spare" head had suffered no distortion during its spell on the over-hot engine and, thanks to liquid solder, all now went well in that department. If eyebrows have been raised because twice a front wheel fell off and another front hub had to be changed, they can be lowered again after looking at pictures of Indianapolis' rough brick surface, and for the same reason the standard Dunlop tyres can be entirely exonerated for wearing out rather quickly.
The appalling weather conditions are graphically described by Hess but they appear to have defeated nothing on the A90 except the screen-wipers, if we discount the horns freezing up! Other troubles were minor ones, like sticking pistons in the carburetters, a broken contact-breaker and a blocked air-cleaner pipe, while the speedometer-drive once played startling tricks. The A90 itself just went on and on, apart from one broken fuel pipe and minor bothers, except when a piston developed a hole, and the run finally ended 51 minutes short of 7 days and 7 nights because the timing chain broke, when trying for full speed for the last hour.
One cannot fail to be inspired by the story this book tells and to admire the tenacity and courage of these men who attempted so much, so far from home. On any track the run would have been a notable achievement, but at Indianapolis and under those weather conditions, it was superb. The Austin A90's running average was 74 m.p.h. for 11,850 miles and its fuel consumption 17 m.p.g. Its best lap-speed was just below 90 m.p.h. and its fastest record the f.s. five miles, at 89.58 m.p.h. The highest praise must be bestowed on this Austin — but, in bestowing it, let us think for a moment of the Studebaker which averaged 68.58 m.p.h. for the same duration twenty-one years ago, for if its engine was twice the size of the A90s, I suspect that it had side-valves, while American cars of this period were not very highly developed, nor was Studebaker in more than the moderate-price class. Be that as it may, Hess' book is an absorbing story very well told, in spite of his admission that it was written in five days, and its high-class presentation alone makes it a welcome addition to the library. — W.B.
This book deals in a fascinating manner with Sir Malcolm Campbell's attacks on the Land Speed Record. Whether it was written by Sir Malcolm or not, it makes an excellent adventure story and, as such, would be a good Christmas present for motor-minded boys and girls. It tends to repeat most of what we have read before in Campbell's other book, in articles from his pen and in books about his racing career. One new detail emerges, that when Campbell acquired the ex-Guinness V12 350-h.p. Sunbeam, two of its gears were useless and new ones had to be cut from the solid in Vickers' steel— interesting, because the Sunbeam suffered gear trouble on quite a few occasions at Brooklands.
The publishers explain that the proofs were carefully checked after Sir Malcolm's death, but, unfortunately, Peugeot, a car with which Campbell did much Brooklands racing, is mis-spelt "Peugot," as it often is.
The illustrations are well reproduced, but quite why eleven of them depict very early cars from St. Nixon's collection remains obscure, while one caption suggests that Campbell raced his later record-breaking "Bluebirds" at Brooklands, whereas he merely gave demonstration runs. The foreword is by S. C. H. Davis.
Two more Floyd Clymer books have reached us from America. The first is a year-book of the 1949 Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. In 62 large pages, also numbered to form a continuation of Clymer's "Indianapolis Race History," it gives a full report of the race, data on the drivers, cars, track, organisation, etc., and countless pictures of personalities, cars, engines, and so on. Altogether a very good effort and, although new motoring books now appear in this country with startling frequency, one feels that at least one of our big races might be documented like this, perhaps the 1950 G.P. d'Europe.
The other Clymer book is another of his detailed, entertaining test reports, this one about the Kaiser "Vagabond." As usual, a certified high-speed run was undertaken, this time from Kansas City to Denver, 682 miles, in 9 hr. 50 min. The book is packed with pictures, including plenty of Floyd Clymer. Both handbooks cost 1 1/2 dollars each. We understand that they may be ordered from this country and the money paid to Clymer when he is next in England and, although it is awfully naughty to thus introduce English money into the States, the books constitute a considerable temptation.
This is a useful and well-illustrated little book, reprinting articles on high-output engines which have appeared in the Motor World. Chapters are devoted to: Induction systems for high-speed engines, Mechanical design for high power-output, Cylinder head design, Lubrication, Ignition, and Supercharging as they apply to sports-car engines, Calculations and factors affecting power and performance, and Tuning. There is a useful appendix of constants and formulae, and altogether this seems just the book for those who seek to learn more about horse-breeding. A good five-bobs' worth from over the Border, in fact!
The Russell Lowry cartoons which appeared in the now defunct magazine Motor Club, have been collected together in booklet form, priced at 2s. 6d., available from J. A. Breckell & Sons, 65, South John Street, Liverpool, 1.

Meriwether Lewis Institute
for Citizen Leadership
Application Process Fall 2022
"Of courage undaunted, possessing a firmness and perseverance of purpose which nothing but impossibilities could divert from its direction, ... honest, disinterested, liberal, of sound understanding and a fidelity to truth so scrupulous that whatever he should report would be as certain as if seen by ourselves…"
Thomas Jefferson describing Meriwether Lewis in a letter to Paul Allen, 1813
Shortly after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, Thomas Jefferson was faced with the decision of who to trust to lead the expedition westward. He chose Captain Meriwether Lewis, a native of Albemarle County and one of his personal aides. Lewis was just 29 years old. Along with his close friend William Clark, Lewis led a resoundingly successful transcontinental expedition, losing only one member of his crew to appendicitis. The Expedition – and its leadership – was widely praised as a crowning achievement of Jefferson's presidency.
In founding the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson envisioned a new kind of university, one dedicated to educating leaders in practical affairs and public service rather than for professions in the classroom and pulpit exclusively. The Lewis Institute aims to develop young leaders like Meriwether Lewis, equipping students with the tools they need for effective leadership both on the University's Grounds and beyond.
KEY PROGRAM ELEMENTS
The Meriwether Lewis Institute for Citizen Leadership at the University of Virginia is a multi-year fellowship that prepares students for a lifetime of leadership at the University and beyond. The Institute brings together a diverse group of UVA students for a 2.5 year immersive leadership experience. Each cohort of Lewis Fellows is comprised of 30 students selected in the fall of their second year at the University. The program has three key elements:
Participants are selected for the program in the fall semester of their 2nd year and begin by enrolling in a course in the Architecture School called "Foundations in Design Thinking" in the spring semester. In preparation for their project-based summer program, this three-credit course will focus on complex design challenges with the goal of generating relevant proposals that benefit the common good. Design thinking approaches will be used to leverage innovative scenarios from novel perspectives to frame new interdisciplinary relationships and design strategies. Design principles and iterative applications will frame project-based exercises and involve students from across the University. The course will be taught by Elgin Cleckley, a professor in the Architecture School with appointments in both the Curry School of Education and School of Nursing.
In the summer between their 2nd and 3rd years, the Fellows stay in Charlottesville for a five weeks program where they learn various leadership skills (covering topics like public speaking, budgeting, presentation skills, and interpersonal dynamics). Experts from across the University and real-world leaders from various sectors lead workshops and share their perspectives with the Fellows. The Fellows also have the opportunity to meet with Deans and other leaders from across the University to discuss challenges the University faces and how student leaders can help. The Fellows work on a group project throughout the five week program, presenting their work to a diverse group of University stakeholders in the final week. All costs of the summer program are covered for the students, including room, program costs, and a stipend for completion.
The third part of the program, happening in the students' 3rd and 4th years, offers the Fellows the opportunity to apply what they've learned to key University issues. Lewis Fellows participate in independent and small group projects aimed at improving the University which they began developing over the course of the summer program and flesh out with the help of assigned University mentors over the course of their 3rd year. The cohort will reunite for a "Leadership in Practice" seminar in the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy in the spring of their 3rd year and for ongoing enrichment events through their 4th year, including sessions with guest speakers and faculty, a fourth year retreat, and University mentorships.

Q: MS ACCESS update with an aggregate function on another table I am trying to run the below in ms access 2010 and not getting saying "Operation must use an updatable query"
Please some advice on how to solve this without creating a query or temp table.
UPDATE tmp SET non_null_cnt = (SELECT COUNT(id_sec) FROM ESG_Results WHERE asset4_id IS NOT NULL);
Thanks in advance.

A: Access is very finicky about subqueries in various contexts - I just try to avoid them, for the most part.  As a workaround, you can try a domain count solution:
UPDATE tmp SET non_null_cnt = DCount("id_sec", "ESG_Results", "asset4_id IS NOT NULL");

See if that works for you.  You could also write a quick function which uses a recordset solution if you want.
