(Click to open speaker's home page)
Divine Wisdom, Shekinah, Holy Spirit
In this talk Anne Baring will relate the fascinating story which connects three streams of the imagery of the Divine Feminine with each other. Her talk will explore how the tradition of Divine Wisdom, Holy Spirit and Queen of Heaven, was taken from Jerusalem to Alexandria in Egypt and how the Jewish community there kept it alive for over 500 years. There are wonderful passages in the Books of Ben Sirah and The Wisdom of Solomon that are unknown to Protestant Christians because they were not included in the Protestant Bible. Together, they speak in the most vivid and beautiful language of the immanence of spirit in the life of this planet, transmuting all creation and the apparent insignificance of our lives into something precious and sacred, to be loved, embraced, cherished and celebrated. In these texts, Wisdom speaks as the Holy Spirit, calling to humanity to listen to her, yearning to open our hearts and minds to her presence, her justice, her compassion and her truth.
Anne Baring is a writer and Jungian analyst, author and coauthor of five books. including The Myth of the Goddess (1991), The Mystic Vision (1995), The Divine Feminine (1996) and a book for children The Birds Who Flew Beyond Time (1993). She has created a website, www.annebaring.com to explore the deeper issues facing us at this critical time of choice.

American Drummers Achievement Awards
bill Cosby to Host the First Zildjian
benefit to raise scholarship funds for young musicians.
The Avedis Zildjian Company will honor four legendary jazz drummers while raising scholarship funds for young musicians on Sunday, September 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Berklee Performance Center during the American Drummers Achievement Awards. The event, which celebrates the 375th Anniversary of the Norwell, MA-based Avedis Zildjian Company, will be hosted by Bill Colby and will honor drummers: Louis Bellson, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones and Max Roach.
Four world-renowned drummers will perform live tributes to the honorees at the Awards. Featured artists include Terri Lyne Carrington in tribute to Roy Haynes, Peter Erskine in tribute to Elvin Jones, Steve Gadd in tribute to Louis Bellson, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith in tribute to Max Roach. They will be performing with an all-star Berklee College of Music Ensemble led by musical director Gary Burton, along with special guest artists.
Film and testimonial appreciations summarizing the careers and contributions of each honored drumming legend will also be part of the tribute, which will be held at the 1,200-seat Berklee Performance Center at Berklee College of Music, 132 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston. Berklee is the world's premier school for jazz and contemporary music.
Tickets are $30 and $20, with student discounts available. $200 Golden Circle tickets include a pre-concert reception, priority seating and a limited-edition copy of a new book on the history of the Zildjian Company. For tickets, call Ticketmaster at (617/508) 931-2000. For special Golden Circle seating, please call 781-237-2277.
"In celebration of The Zildjian Company's 375th Anniversary this fall, we felt it would be fitting to sponsor the American Drummers Achievement Awards to spotlight our very special relationship with drummers," said Craigie Zildjian, General Manager, North American and Vice Ghairman of the Board of the Avedis Zildjian Company, and a member of Berklee College of Music's Board of Trustees. "Not only will we be honoring four legends of jazz drumming, but we will also be featuring performances by four standouts from the contemporary drumming scene— each paying tribute in their own personal way."
All gross proceeds from the event will be used to endow annual scholarships in the names of the honorees at Berklee College of Music. The scholarships will be awarded each year to talented students from diverse communities who would otherwise not have the financial means to pursue their studies.

Sexual obsession as a path to spiritual liberation.
In a society where many cultures strive to coexist, yet dominated by a few, many different sexualities are socially constrained. Where is the place for the two male dancers from different cultural backgrounds in this European context when it comes to spaces in between desire, obsession, sexuality and spirituality? Coloured with sounds controlling and directing this space, a metamorphosis which is ultimately about existentiality suggesting a certain kind of spiritual purification and blurring the tension between life and death as conceived in many recent Western ideologies.
A controversial vulgar sex and death scandal in Japan forms the inspiration for this performance. The story follows an erotic relationship of Sada Abe who eventually cuts off the penis and testicles of her lover Kichizo Ishida on May 18, 1936. Since then it has been interpreted by artists of different kinds.
This work has been developed independently in CLOUD/Danslab (The Hague) and OT301 (Amsterdam).
You are invited to the performance of this work-in-progress followed by a talk with the artists.
Doors open: 20.00

Tashi Iwaoka
Tashi Iwaoka is a performance artist/mover. After his first Butoh experiences in 1997 with Kazuo Ohno and Kim Itoh in Japan, Iwaoka practiced Butoh based bodywork for over 10 years. Currently he is practicing Budo, Japanese martial arts, and working on finding the nucleus of human expression and connection, in relation to the movement skills he has learned. One of the central driving forces for this is the attempt to fuse his oriental roots and Western perspectives to form a more proper view on 'being a human' in this world. He wishes to disinter the universality in Eastern wisdom in order to help us understand what it is to be a human.
Fazle Shairmahomed is a dancer, performer, improviser, performance maker, graduated in anthropology. His work evolves in challenging understandings of inter-sensoriality, the relation between environment, performance, spectatorship, and society, and the ability to learn and train particularly in dance. His work is in general concerned with his political body in processes of de-colonization closely related to his background as a Surinamese-Hindustani born in the Netherlands. During his studies he started with Modern dance, which brought him to Butoh, Body Weather, contemporary whirling, and other dance practices.
Stefano Sgarbi
A composer, performer and sound therapist based in the Netherlands. His interests, starting from a general attraction to art and particularly music, are now more specifically towards electronic music, algorithmic composition, improvisation and sound therapy. He studied at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague where he has found himself in a rather prolific and inspiring artistic environment. Many of his works are performed in his local scene and some have being selected and played in festivals around the world.

Q: How to convert an asymmetric pairwise distance matrix to dictionary? I've distance matrix which I want to convert to a dict with two keys and one value. My csv file looks something like this:

City1
City2
City3

City1
0
2.2
3.1

City2
2.1
0
4.0

City3
3.2
4.3
0

And I imported my csv file as a pandas data frame with pd.read_csv and now I want to convert this data frame to a dictionary which should use the first column and the first row as keys and the rest as values. So like:
{('City1','City1') : 0, ('City1','City2') : 2.1, ('City1','City3') : 3.2, ...}
I tried to use pandas .to_dict function but I wasn't able to figure out how to tell this function to not only use the column names as the keys. Thank you in advance.

A: Let's try stack then to_dict:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'City1': {'City1': 0, 'City2': 2.1, 'City3': 3.2},
    'City2': {'City1': 2.2, 'City2': 0.0, 'City3': 4.2},
    'City3': {'City1': 3.1, 'City2': 4.0, 'City3': 0},
})

d = df.stack().to_dict()
print(d)

df:
       City1  City2  City3
City1    0.0    2.2    3.1
City2    2.1    0.0    4.0
City3    3.2    4.2    0.0

d:
{('City1', 'City1'): 0.0, ('City1', 'City2'): 2.2, ('City1', 'City3'): 3.1,
 ('City2', 'City1'): 2.1, ('City2', 'City2'): 0.0, ('City2', 'City3'): 4.0,
 ('City3', 'City1'): 3.2, ('City3', 'City2'): 4.2, ('City3', 'City3'): 0.0}

Hill House has been in our family for over a hundred years and it began its life as a self-catering holiday cottage in 2006. We manage the cottage ourselves and we prepare the cottage to the highest standard for all guests.

A number of the award-winning venues such as Oldwalls Leisure, Ocean View, Fairy Hill and the King Arthur hotel are within a 3 to 10-minute drive from Hill House.
Over the years we have accommodated many guests attending weddings and receptions at these venues.
Furthermore, as Hill House is less than 200m from Llanrhidian parish church it is very convenient for guests who are attending weddings services there.
For further details of wedding venues on the Gower peninsula see our article on Weddings in Gower.
Walkers and Ramblers
Despite the Gower peninsula being a relatively small area of approximately 70 square miles (180km2), it has a network of over 268 miles (431 km) of footpaths and bridleways.
As a matter of fact, a number of short and longer circular routes can be accessed from the lane outside Hill House. You can use these routes to explore Llanrhidian, Oldwalls, Leason, Weobley castle and other location in North Gower. An added bonus for ramblers and walking enthusiasts is that this lane carries the Gower peninsula and Swansea section of the Wales Coast Path through Llanrhidian village and beyond.
For very long walks, ramblers staying at Hill House sometimes make use of the local bus service. They get the bus at the village bus stop, travel to the walk's starting point and then follow their chose route back to Hill House.
See our Gower Walking festival article for details on this annual event and some of the local rambler groups that welcome newcomers to their organised walks.
We are dog friendly so you can bring your four-legged rambler with you.
Wildlife Enthusiasts
The Gower peninsula has a diverse range of landscapes ranging from wooded valleys, open moorland, limestone cliffs to salt marsh. This gives rise to a diverse range of habitat which in turn gives rise to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Consequently, It is safe to say that, the Gower peninsula is a wildlife enthusiasts paradise.
The fields, woodland and salt march around Hill House are home to squirrels, badgers, foxes, buzzards, red kites, hen harriers and numerous species of waterfowl.
The National Wetland Centre at Penclacwdd is just across the estuary from Hill House. It has hides that overlook the tidal pools from which you can observe the many species of local and migratory waterfowl. The centre also arranges programmes of entertainment/educational activities for children.
Outdoor Enthusiasts
The Gower peninsula caters for all forms of water sports. These including surfing, bodyboarding, kite surfing, windsurfing, yachting, paddle board and coasteering.
Equipment hire and instruction for many of these pastimes is available at a number of the beaches.

Cattle, sheep and ponies grass the farmland and open spaces such as the salt marsh and the moorland of Cefn Bryn. When walking in these areas your dog should always be kept on a lead.
We are also happy to accommodate any other pets that you may wish to bring with you to stay at Hill House.
As we own the fields to the west of Hill House we may be able to accommodate your Horse. We do not provide stable and tack facilities but you may be able to arrange these at a close by farm.

Events in Gower & Swansea.
The Gower Peninsula
The Gower peninsula is located on the South Wales coast to the west of Swansea. It was designated as the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956. This long AONB status means that its splendid scenery has not been spoiled by overdevelopment and commercialisation. Gower is perhaps best known for its coastline and attracts water sports enthusiasts from all over the world. It is one of the United Kingdoms top destinations for surfing. You can see some of what the Gower has to offer visitors by viewing our Gower peninsula page and our Tourist Information post.
The City of Swansea, Swansea Bay and Mumbles
Swansea is the City by the Bay and is the gateway to the Gower Peninsula. It has an extensive waterfront promenade that stretches for 5 miles alongside the sandy shoreline of Swansea Bay to Mumbles head. The promenade follows the line of the old Mumbles Train railway that was the worlds first passenger carrying railway. The promenade contains a demarcated cycle path and jogging track with fitness apparatus. There are numerous access points onto the bay from the promenade and various visitor attractions along its length. In addition, Swansea has an abundance of award-winning public parks and gardens. Victoria, Singleton, Brynmill and Clyne parks are adjacent to the promenade. The Bay Area and Mumbles have much to offer holidaymakers and you can read more about Swansea's holiday attractions by viewing our Swansea Bay and Mumbles page.
Llanrhidian lies on the north coast of the Gower peninsula about 10 miles from the City of Swansea and is one of the oldest and best-preserved village on the Gower peninsula. It is a very quiet location with virtually no through traffic and the centre of the village is a designated conservation area. The parish church and local public house are about 100 yards from Hill House.
All of Gower's bays, beaches and coves are within easy reach from Llanrhidian. There are not many beachside self-catering holiday cottage in Gower and a short car ride is nearly always required to reach your preferred destination. Unlike Llanrhidian most of the other villages are plagued by through traffic and can be crowed with tourist at peak times.
You can see what Llanrhidian has to offer by exploring the interactive map and reading the information provided on our Llanrhidian page.

df['new_col'] = df['img'].apply(lambda x: details(x['id']) if x == 0 else x, axis=1)

I'd like to apply the function only to rows, where cell value == 0. When I run the above line, I get this error:

GALLIPOLIS — With the release of law enforcement statistics by the Gallia Sheriff, Gallia Prosecutor and Gallia Court of Common Pleas, law enforcement officials discussed what is going on behind the scenes with both new approaches and old challenges.
Champlin believes that Gallia's law enforcement strategy is driving crime numbers down through "aggressive policing and a good working relationship" with the prosecutor's office.
Holdren pointed out those numbers also reflected the work of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Gallia-Meigs Major Crimes Task Force, Gallipolis Police Department and Rio Grande Police Department as local partners.
Holdren believes that using search warrants has ultimately led to the number of cases to present to the Gallia Grand Jury and have over 300 indictments with the jury meeting 13 times in 2017. The number is up from the previous year's 233 indictments, according to the prosecutor.
Holdren said he felt the county was better served by having addicts be held accountable by court staff to be sober and drug free by participating in drug court and getting skills and a job.
An upcoming edition of the Tribune will discuss the common pleas court programs and statistics with commentary by Gallia Common Pleas Judge Margaret Evans. For compete numbers of Gallia crime statistics over the last three years, refer to Ohio Valley Publishing's Sunday Times-Sentinel crime statistics piece.

Conning to Acquire Insurance Asset Management Business from Brookfield Investment Management
March 31, 2014 by Zachary Tracer and Katia Dmitrieva
Conning & Co., the money manager controlled by Jeff Greenberg's Aquiline Capital Partners LLC, is adding about $6 billion in assets from Brookfield Asset Management Inc. as the seller exits the business of overseeing funds for insurers.
Joseph Syage and Dominick Bonanno, who lead the fixed income insurance business at the Brookfield Investment Management unit, will join in a new Manhattan office for Conning, the buyer said in a statement. Hartford, Connecticut-based Conning also has offices in London, Cologne, Hong Kong and Purchase, New York.
Conning oversees $83 billion for clients, with more than half that sum in corporate bonds. The company is expanding in New York to cater to insurer clients as Chief Executive Officer Woody Bradford seeks to add income from fees. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are among firms vying to bolster profits by catering to insurers pressured by low bond yields and increased government oversight.
"This transaction adds to us a team of fixed-income specialists who we believe shares a common culture and philosophy of investing for insurance companies," Bradford said in an interview.
Brookfield Investment Management oversees at least $10 billion of real estate and infrastructure equities, corporate high-yield investments, credit strategies, and funds for insurers.
'Real Assets'
"We want to focus on real assets: property, infrastructure, and private equity, and this unit was outside of that," Andrew Willis, a spokesman for Toronto-based Brookfield Asset Management, said by phone. The industry serving insurers "is dominated by large asset managers including Conning and we saw the opportunity to exit this legacy business."
Franklin Resources Inc. said in December that it hired Mark Whitford from Brookfield to help build a team managing funds for insurers. Franklin, which features Benjamin Franklin in its logo, said Whitford would be actuarial investment strategist for the San Mateo, California-based firm's insurance group.
The Brookfield deal is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014, Conning said in the statement, which didn't disclose terms. The company is currently looking for an office in Manhattan, Bradford said.

Die Schlacht von Changping () im Jahr 260 v. Chr. zwischen den Staaten Qin und Zhao in der Zeit der Streitenden Reiche gilt insbesondere durch die Exekution der gesamten Armee Zhaos als eine der blutigsten der Weltgeschichte.

Vorgeschichte

Qin fiel 265 v. Chr. in das Reich Han ein, um die Provinz Shangdang () zu erobern. Durch die Eroberung der wichtigsten Festungen und Verkehrswege in den Taihe-Bergen gelang es Qin innerhalb von vier Jahren, die Kommunikationsverbindungen zum Kernland des Staates Han zu unterbrechen. Han entschied in dieser Situation, Shangdang an Zhao abzutreten.

Zhao hatte ein erhebliches Interesse, dass diese Provinz nicht in die Hände Qins fiel, um einen Angriff, wie er von Qin auf Zhao ursprünglich auch geplant wurde, zu verhindern. König Xiaocheng (趙孝成王) nahm also in dieser für sein Reich gefährlichen Situation das Angebot der Han an und sandte eine Armee unter dem General Lian Po (廉頗) nach Shangdang. 262 v. Chr. trafen sich die Streitkräfte in dem Ort Changping. Nach einigen verlorenen Scharmützeln zog sich Lian Po hinter eilig errichtete Befestigungsanlagen zurück. Der nun folgende dreijährige Kleinkrieg zwischen beiden Staaten brachte keinen klaren Sieger hervor, da sich keine der Seiten zu einer entscheidenden Schlacht durchringen konnte.

Der Angriff Qins auf Han beendete außerdem die seit 295 v. Chr. von Opportunismus dominierte Außenpolitik Zhaos. Zhao versuchte durch die Strategien Hezong (合縱, Bündnis mit den fünf anderen der sieben Reiche um die Vormachtstellung Qins zu begrenzen) und Lianhen (連橫, das Bündnis mit Qin, um von dessen Vorherrschaft zu profitieren), sich als Großmacht zu etablieren.

Schlacht von Changping

Die Qin begannen nun Spione nach Han und Zhao zu senden, um Gerüchte über die angebliche Feigheit und altersbedingte Kriegsmüdigkeit Lian Pos zu verbreiten. Unzufrieden über die Strategie seines Generals und die auftauchenden Gerüchte entließ der König von Zhao Lian Po und berief den Sohn des berühmten Generals Zhao She, Zhao Kuo zum neuen Oberbefehlshaber. Etwa zur selben Zeit wurde auf der Seite Qins Wang He (王齕) durch den erfahrenen General Bai Qi ersetzt.

Eine Legende berichtet, dass Zhao She auf dem Sterbebett seiner Frau erzählte, dass der gemeinsame Sohn Zhao Kuo nie eine Armee führen sollte. Nachdem die Frau von Zhao She erfahren hatte, dass Zhao Kuo den neuen Oberbefehl innehatte, bat sie um Audienz beim König und forderte diesen, mit dem Beistand des Ministers Lin Xiangru, zur sofortigen Absetzung Zhaos Kuos auf. Xiaocheng schlug ihr diese Bitte ab, sagte ihr jedoch zu, im Falle einer Niederlage die Familie Zhaos nicht in Sippenhaft zu nehmen.

Als Zhao Kuo das Kommando der 400.000 Mann starken Armee Zhaos im Juli 260 v. Chr. übernahm, befahl er einen Großangriff auf das Lager Qins. Die Truppen Qins zogen sich umgehend zurück. Dieser Rückzug war jedoch nur vorgetäuscht. 25.000 Mann Qins versteckten sich in einem Hinterhalt, unterdessen zog sich die Hauptstreitkraft Bai Qis weit in das Hinterland zurück. Durch diesen Schachzug wurden die Versorgungstruppen Zhaos abgeschnitten und die nun eingekesselte Hauptarmee Zhao Kuos errichtete ein befestigtes Lager auf einem Hügel, um auf Verstärkungen für einen Ausbruch zu warten.

Die Armee Qins wurde außerdem von Truppen der Chu und Qi verstärkt, die Zhao die Unterstützung versagten. Insgesamt dauerte die Belagerung der eingeschlossenen Armee Zhaos 46 Tage. Im September des Jahres 260 v. Chr. versuchten kleinere Gruppen den Belagerungsring zu durchbrechen, was jedoch keiner einzigen gelang. Schließlich führte Zhao Kuo seine besten Männer bei einem finalen Ausbruchsversuch an, wurde jedoch von gegnerischen Bogenschützen getötet.

Ergebnis

Nach dem Tod Zhao Kuos ergab sich seine gesamte Armee. Um zu verhindern, dass diese große Streitmacht revoltierte, wurden alle bis auf die 240 jüngsten Soldaten lebendig begraben. Die Zahl von 450.000 Toten ist von den chinesischen Historikern mit Sicherheit stark übertrieben, trotzdem gilt die Schlacht als eine der blutigsten der Menschheitsgeschichte.

Mit dieser Entscheidungsschlacht war auch der Krieg zwischen Zhao und Qin beendet. Drei Jahre des Krieges hatten beide Staaten finanziell stark belastet und der Bevölkerung einen hohen Blutzoll abverlangt. Lediglich Qin konnte, im Gegensatz zu Zhao, nach dem Sieg schnell wieder an alter Stärke gewinnen. Mit diesem Sieg war auch die Grundlage für die Vereinigung der streitenden Reiche Chinas gelegt.

Changping
Changping
260er v. Chr.
Henan


At Gettysburg, I walked down Col. Edward P. Alexander's massed artillery position without examining any barrels. Later, while moving out to the Peach Orchard, I looked at the topography and the importance of that position and wondered why Gen. Daniel Sickles had place troops there. Walking back to the car, I noticed the 15th New York Independent Battery, and noticed that nearby was rifled bronze cannons. This left me a bit confused, so I photographed the guns and left.
1857 Napoleon Gun near the Peach Orchard at Gettysburg, Pa.
Research later revealed that the battery was issued M1857 Light Field Artillery Pieces (nicknamed "Napoleons"), a smooth-bore gun. What followed was that I could not pass a bronze cannon without checking to see if it was rifled. There were many bronze cannons and I determined that there were four rifled-pieces that seemed to be either unidentified or incorrectly marked as "smooth-bores". One looked like a Union 12-lb. Napoleon but with a large foresight added. Another, looked like a 6-lb. rifled artillery piece. A third appeared to be a bronze 3" Ordnance Rifle. Finally, a straight-sided cannon was also found to be rifled, but didn't resemble any other type.
What followed was a long-winded story that resulted in me not finding all the answers I wanted to. Several confused National Park rangers were not even aware of the discrepancies with these guns, even at their own sites. Jason Spellman of Richmond National Battlefield Park was the only one who could offer an answer. I can't recall the gun he showed me in one of the books at visitor center but it explained one of the four types.
As I traveled to other battlefields I carried this curiosity with me, from Manassas to Williamsburg, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, Cold Harbour and Five Forks. I also flew to Atlanta (Ga.) and met Gordon Jones at the Atlanta History Center, who showed me the battlefields swallowed-up by the city and then headed off to Kennesaw Mountain and Chickamauga. He greeted me at the park museum and helped answer my question about the 6-lb. cannon, which I could get no answer for at Manassas. The ranger at Brawner's Farm thought it might be a post-war production as it would be easier to cast a new gun rather than alter an original.
The first answers came late in my Virginia travels after I accidentally got lost and crossed the James River in search of a McDonald's to use the Wifi internet. On that side of the river, I decided to check out that Petersburg National Battlefield had to offer, which was a great choice. At their visitor centre, I found the same models of cannon as those at Gettysburg and signs describing what they actually were.
12-lb. Napoleon is most likely a 14-lb. James Rifle, or a re-bored 1857 Napoleon adapted to accept the 14-lb. James projectile. The designated name for this modified gun is not known.
6-lb. Napoleon is that very gun but re-bored to accept the 12-lb. James Rifle projectile and appears under the name of either 1841 Rifle or 12-lb. James Rifle.
Straight-sided rifled gun is the Confederate version of the 3" Ordinance Rifle, designed to accept the same 3" projectile of the US ordinance rifle and 10-lb. Parrot Rifle.
3" Ordinance Rifle made of bronze is most likely the actual 14-lb. James Rifle. It has similar external appearance (possibly US army model), accepted the James Rifle projectile, and therefore has a very different configuration. This was the answer I found while researching more about re-bored guns that accepted the James projectiles.
I plan to do more research when I return to the States and my findings are not the final answer on these bronze cannons. But I do hope that in the future if you see a bronze gun, that you might take the time to see if it has been rifled. My feeling is that re-boring artillery may have been a common practice during the war. Surviving artillery afterwards therefore resulted in the prevalence of noticeably re-bored pieces. And with the need for display cannons to fill the National Parks, they remain common examples of original artillery.
Today, many Americans will celebrate all things Irish, unaware that, as one article discovered, "Everything You Know About St. Patrick's Day Is Wrong." Typically we associate the traditional holiday with drinking, more drinking, and later maybe a bit more drinking. Oh, and being Irish.
Our family is no exception. As a kid, I remember walking through the rooms of my grandparent's house and discovering a small wooden plaque with our family coat-of-arms neatly painted on it, while in the other room hung a framed ancestral history. To me, those items were not just souvenirs, they are reminders of Mimi and Papa's curiosity and desire to discover more. Both are no longer with us, but the same inquisitiveness continues today.
Likely, Patrick Foley and Ellen Donovan, my twice great-grandparents. Taken at Berlin Studio on 33 Patrick St., Cork.
Passed-down to my father from his mother, the day after Thanksgiving 1981.
No one seemed certain who the sitters were, but the emblazoned-guilt addresses of both studios where unmistakably sharp. We decided to look them up.
Cork had swelled into an overcrowded place by the late-Nineteenth century. Terrible poverty had swept through the countryside during the Great Famine of 1845-52, forcing rural farming communities into relocate to urban areas or face starvation. Nearly 80,000 people resided in the city, though thousands had left in search of better living conditions (namely Britain or N. America). Still, many did not leave and brought rise to several important industries, such as brewing, distilling, wool and shipbuilding.
[St.] Patrick Street, Cork. County Cork, Ireland.
Amidst the din of commerce on St. Patrick's Street (sometimes just referred to as "Patrick Street"), one of the main roads through Cork, were two far quieter settings. Francis Guy, a stationer and photographer, ran one photographic studio at No. 70, while his collaborator Richard Williamson & Co. occupied a second, later known as Berlin Photographic Studio.
City directory listing for both photographic studios in 1884. Note the larger advertisement for Guy's Cork Exhibition the year prior.
Early records show that the Guy family initially operated a grocery store on Patrick Street in 1842. They learned the craft of paper-making which later was mastered by Francis Guy and turned into a full-time trade. Those same processes were introduced into the field of photography, whereby Guy became well-known for enlarging prints and setting them onto portrait cardboard. "It is no unmerited praise to say that nothing superior to them could be produced in the best lithographic establishments in the kingdom," the Cork Herald reviewed in 1884. He continued publishing, printing, and photographing for over forty years.
Guy's business (so-called "Stationary Hall") on 70 Patrick Street, ca 1867. Small portraits can been seen hanging in the front window.
It's unknown when the Berlin Photographic Studio operated at No. 33, but from 1884 onward it was run by R. Williamson & Co. Like Francis Guy, Richard Williamson began with a different trade. As a letterpress printer, he circulated books and other periodicals at No. 61. The building later became the primary home for Berlin Studio and like Guy's business, its address was proudly engraved on hundreds of cabinet cards.
Backmark for a Berlin Photographic Studio card.
We will never find the answer to all of our questions. Like, when did my ancestors walk into the photographic studios to meet with Guy and Williamson? How are they even related to me? But it begins with questioning what we don't know in the first place. Once we do that, we can discover a wealth of contextual information and at the very least, make conclusions about what that day in Cork probably was like. If we do not, heritage only becomes a holiday known only for green beer, shamrocks, and four-leaf clovers.
 Guy first appears in Laing's Cork Mercantile Directory working as an independent stationer in 1863. Before then, he managed a shop at 94 Old George's Street in the 1856 Slater's Directory.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office has opened an investigation into the offensive social media posts published by jailer Alan Blaylock, office Sgt. Brandon Bracelin has confirmed to the Informer.
"As soon as I was made aware of [Blaylock's messages] I let our command staff know," said Bracelin, adding that the investigation process had just begun and there was not yet an estimated date by which it would be concluded.
"Discipline," Bracelin said, "can range anywhere from sensitivity training all the way up to separation," but it was too early to say what the likeliest outcome might be.
Several of the messages of Blaylock's that were sent to the sheriff's office, including ones with disparaging remarks about Mexicans, gays, and women, dated back as far as January 2013. Blaylock didn't start working in the sheriff's office until March 16, and a week or so ago was promoted from part-time to full-time work at roughly the same hourly wage of around $19.
The jailer's recent messages, as far as the investigation goes, will be reviewed under existing department policies on off-duty behavior or Polk County employees' computer use, depending on from where Blaylock made the posts, according to Bracelin.
Despite the contempt for county inmates expressed in the messages under investigation, Bracelin said that he had "no knowledge of any complaints from any inmates" specifically against the jailer.

Sydney gangland figure Raphael Joseph was a wanted man. Accused of using a 9mm Glock handgun to shoot a man dead outside a Sydney pub in 2002, he became a fugitive as those linked to the crime endured terrifying revenge attacks. His driver that night, Sandro Mirad, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder and requested protection when friends and relatives of the victim, 28-year-old Dimitri Debaz, sought vengeance. In late 2002, a hand grenade was thrown into a house where one of Mirad's friends lived, while his co-accused's parents were also targeted with a bomb. But it wasn't just those directly involved who were in the crosshairs - even those who were believed to know Joseph's location were interrogated and tortured. One man had his face slashed with razor blades and was shot in the leg, face and hand, while one of Joseph's cousins was also kidnapped and shot. The Iraqi-born Australian citizen had in fact fled to the United States where, in the words of his American lawyer Randall Hamud, he became "a survivor". It wasn't until October 2006, at a San Diego coffee shop, that a tip Joseph could have been an illegal immigrant led to his arrest. It marked the beginning of a long battle to avoid being extradited to Australia. After checking his fingerprints, US authorities discovered Joseph was a murder suspect. They became suspicious when he requested deportation to Iraq. Anywhere, it seemed, was better than Australia, where he claimed to have a $100,000 bounty on his head. Mr Hamud said thugs had been hired to find and kill Joseph "just like in the Godfather genre movies". In a last-ditch attempt to avoid extradition, Mr Hamud compiled a petition to then-US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice in 2008. Joseph would be a dead man if he was sent back, Hamud said, and the prosecution case against him for the 2002 shooting was "flimsy" and "convoluted". He painted a bleak picture of Sydney's criminal underbelly and said the city was controlled and terrorised by Lebanese gangs. Even in prison Joseph would not be out of reach of his hunters, Mr Hamud argued. Joseph lost the extradition fight and faced a Sydney court in 2008, however the case against him was later dropped. He was last seen getting into a car in March 2014 with at least two men at McDonald's in Auburn. A breakthrough in the case this week led detectives to a rural property at Blaxlands Ridge, on Sydney's outskirts, where it's believed the 37-year-old's body was disposed of after he was murdered by a drug syndicate. After Joseph vanished, Mirad joined others searching for him and found his friend's .38 calibre revolver at his house. Mirad was later charged for unlawfully possessing the firearm and in 2016 a court heard he took it because he didn't want Joseph's family to find it. The court also heard Mirad lived with his parents and police officers had begun visiting daily, making him nervous. Mirad told a psychologist that when he asked the officers if they were worried, they replied "if we didn't think anything, we wouldn't be here", which he interpreted to mean his life was in danger. He began to "consciously" view his murdered friend's gun as a source of protection. The homicide squad's Detective Chief Inspector Grant Taylor has named greed as a possible motive for Joseph's murder. That he got into the silver Commodore that night voluntarily shows he trusted its occupants - which is telling for a man who knew there was a target on his back. "We know very well there were several people involved in this murder, we know who they are, and they can expect a visit from us in the near future," Chief Insp Taylor said on Tuesday.

Joseph was hunted by enemies and NSW cops

Sydney gangland figure Raphael Joseph (file) was a wanted man before his disappearance in 2014.
Sydney gangland figure Raphael Joseph was a wanted man.
Accused of using a 9mm Glock handgun to shoot a man dead outside a Sydney pub in 2002, he became a fugitive as those linked to the crime endured terrifying revenge attacks.
His driver that night, Sandro Mirad, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder and requested protection when friends and relatives of the victim, 28-year-old Dimitri Debaz, sought vengeance.
In late 2002, a hand grenade was thrown into a house where one of Mirad's friends lived, while his co-accused's parents were also targeted with a bomb.
But it wasn't just those directly involved who were in the crosshairs - even those who were believed to know Joseph's location were interrogated and tortured.
One man had his face slashed with razor blades and was shot in the leg, face and hand, while one of Joseph's cousins was also kidnapped and shot.
The Iraqi-born Australian citizen had in fact fled to the United States where, in the words of his American lawyer Randall Hamud, he became "a survivor".
It wasn't until October 2006, at a San Diego coffee shop, that a tip Joseph could have been an illegal immigrant led to his arrest.

The poems in Average Height of Flight are founded in the landscape of coastal BC, built on the losses within the narrator's life in counterpoint to her walks in the natural world.
In forests with her dog, along watersheds and hill climbs, Beth Kope goes off trail to find inspiration and time for meditation. She observes as the landscapes change with storms blowing through, absorbs the names of plants, finds sustained comfort whatever the season: crisp, clear days, rain is fine, or the snow that reveals the other creatures that share her routes.
Kope invites the reader to join her on these walks and meditations on grief. The metre of feet and heartbeat creates a cadence of solace, but lovingly follows the nose of a dog.
–Arleen Paré, author of Lake of Two Mountains (Brick Books, 2014) and winner of the 2014 Governor General's Literary Award for poetry.


This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house -- September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93. I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son's police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.
Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists' movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.
This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity. We're standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients –- to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.
For eight years, we've also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America's air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.
Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I've always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.
As we address these challenges -- and others we cannot foresee tonight -- America must maintain our moral clarity. I've often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense -- and to advance the cause of peace.
I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger, and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples of America's character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.
We see America's character in Dr. Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We've seen it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.
We see America's character in Bill Krissoff -- a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan -- a Marine -- gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old -- 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America's wounded warriors -- and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.
It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President. There have been good days and tough days. But every day I have been inspired by the greatness of our country, and uplifted by the goodness of our people. I have been blessed to represent this nation we love. And I will always be honored to carry a title that means more to me than any other – citizen of the United States of America.


Buying a new property is an extremely exciting experience. And it's easy to get carried away and distracted by the amazing features, especially when looking at luxury apartments. But like any property investment, there are some important factors to consider before you buy an apartment.
So let's look at some of the vital things you should consider when looking at an apartment for sale in Sydney.
Luxury apartments in Sydney are not cheap and buying any property comes with a lot of different costs. From stamp duty and mortgage establishment fees to transfer fees and inspection costs, you should do your research and make sure you know exactly how much money the entire process is going to cost you before you start looking at properties.
Whether you're buying luxury apartments off-the-plan or an established dwelling, make sure you understand all the legal fees. And remember to ask plenty of questions to uncover any hidden or additional costs such as property management fees which are particularly common with luxury apartments.
One major difference between luxury apartments and your average rental properties are the onsite facilities. When looking at an apartment for sale in Sydney, whether that's in the CBD, in Parramatta or Waterloo, make sure you find out exactly what facilities they have and what you will have access to.
From rooftop infinity pools, tranquil water gardens, gyms and recreational decks to onsite high-end retail stores and world class restaurants, these facilities can make all the difference. Knowing what's on offer is important not only for your comfort and enjoyment of the apartment but it's also a huge selling point should you wish to rent it out or sell in future. People will pay extra for a bit more luxury!
Ensure that you have access to high-speed and reliable internet connection by checking that your new apartment is ready for the National Broadband Network. Most buildings in Australia will have to switch to the NBN by the end of 2020 so make sure the building is either already connected or ready to switch over before making your purchase.
According to domain.com.au, Australia has one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world and yet owners are struggling to find pet-friendly housing.
Checking the building's policy on pets is obviously vital if you own a pet or plan to have one in the future. But it's also an extremely important question to ask if you plan on renting the apartment out as it could give you a huge advantage in the rental market.
When viewing a luxury apartment make sure to ask about parking and nearby public transport options. Accessibility to public transport is linked to real estate value. Buying a luxury apartment within easy reach to train stations or bus stops and a reasonable commute from the city is a sound investment when buying to let or planning a resale.
Finding out about future development plans in the area or in the building will help you determine whether the property is likely to increase in value. For example, construction projects like the Sydney Light Rail in areas like Eastlakes or major developments to an entire area like Green Square will increase the value of apartments once complete.
Viewing a luxury apartment is a fantastic opportunity to envisage your life there. And by all means, take notice of the wonderful view, the luxurious finishings and all the fantastic mod-cons in the kitchen. But don't forget to ask about other factors that will not only make your day-to-day life easier in the apartment but will also contribute towards its resale value further down the track.

Kansas Farm Bureau President Steve Baucus said Rep. Huelskamp's cosponsorship of the bill was short-sighted.
KCGA President Bob Timmons, Fredonia said a repeal of the RFS does not belong in a bill that benefits domestic energy production.
The letter was signed by Kansas Corn, Kansas Farm Bureau, Kansas Association of Ethanol Processors and the Kansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association. Ethanol industry signers were: Conestoga Energy Partners, Liberal and Garden City; Western Plains Energy, Campus; Nesika Energy, Scandia and Kansas Ethanol, Lyons, and ICM, Inc., Colwich.
"While the legislation may propose several beneficial items regarding domestic energy, we are adamantly opposed to its provision that would repeal the existing Renewable Fuels Standard and corresponding programs.
Our state biofuels industry includes eleven plants which are in your district, employ many of your constituents and add value to the Kansas economy; therefore, your support of this provision simply is not in the best interest of the Kansas Big First Congressional District. The economic impact of these plants continue today as they generate economic activity in terms of direct and indirect employment, as well as creating markets and investment returns for several thousand Kansas citizens, many of which are your constituents.
Repealing the Renewable Fuels Standard will have a profoundly negative impact on US and Kansas agriculture, and many communities in the First Congressional District of Kansas. We request that you remove your name as a co-sponsor of H.R 4286 immediately.
