Crist holds COVID-19 town hall meeting
Author TWC
BY FRANK DROUZAS, Staff Writer
ST. PETERSBURG — As we find ourselves in the grip of the COVID-19 outbreak, Congressman Charlie Crist and a panel of local and state officials addressed concerns and fielded questions about this threat during a town hall meeting last week held via telephone conference.
"We all have an important role to play here in Pinellas County," Crist said. "We need to continue to do all we can to flatten the curve and minimize the spread of this virus. The sooner we stop the spread of cases, the sooner we can get back to normal."
The panel joining Crist on the discussion included Nikki Fried, commissioner of the state's Agriculture and Consumer Services; Dr. Nichelle Threadgill, chief medical officer for Community Health Centers of Pinellas, Inc., (CHCP); Paul Russo, director of Bay Pines VA Healthcare System and Chris Fisher, legislative director for Congressman Crist.
Crist stressed the Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines to minimize the spread of the virus, including the practices of social distancing, frequent hand washing and the regular disinfecting of frequently-touched objects and surfaces.
He said those who believe they have been exposed to the virus or are presenting respiratory symptoms or fever, dry cough and shortness of breath should call their doctors or the Florida Dept. of Health, Pinellas County at 727-824-6932. In addition, anyone who may be struggling with mental health issues can contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Pinellas help line at 727-791-3434 to be connected with support and resources to make it through these tough times.
Fried noted that one of the top priorities is the continued accessibility of free school meals, since schools are closed.
"For some of our kids it's the only meal that they can actually count on," she said.
Information on the Summer BreakSpot website can help school children 18 and under to locate supervised sites where they can enjoy free meals. Children or parents can also text FLKIDSMEALS to 211-211 to find locations, or simply call 211 to speak to someone live, 24 hours a day.
Fried also cautioned against buying from suspicious vendors online, those who claim they have unlimited supplies of toilet paper or hand sanitizer, and never actually send any goods once they procure payment. Other fraudulent companies have sprung up and claim that for a fee, they can expedite the stimulus check citizens were promised by the federal government.
"We're really encouraging our consumers to be diligent, to do their due diligence," Fried said. "Go online, do some research…make sure you are not giving out your personal information."
Addressing the food supply chain, Fried remarked that it is "steady" and "constant," as she urged people not to hoard food as they did during the first couple of weeks of the crisis.
"Everybody thought everything was going to close down and we would not be able to leave our homes," she said, "so everybody went to the food stores and cleared out shelves. We're really asking people not to do that."
Go to the store and get what you need, Fried urged, but the elderly or those with weaker immune systems that go out once a week to procure food and find no food at the store may leave empty handed. Furthermore, low-income families who are on programs that allow them to get only certain lower-cost brands of bread, oatmeal or other foods need to have those off-brands available to them. Otherwise, they truly go without.
Commissioner Fried also underscored that there is no evidence that the coronavirus can be transmitted through food, but suggested that everyone still follow common sense guidelines when it comes to washing fruits and vegetables and thoroughly cooking meats such as poultry and fish.
Threadgill offered that the CHCP are places people can go for care and screening of the virus. These centers have developed a protocol that allows staff to safely see patients and immediately isolate patients with identified risks.
"We also have designated three of our health centers as pediatric wellness centers," Threadgill said, "so that we can continue to see some of our vulnerable pediatric patients. We know that COVID-19 is out in the community but there are also quite a few other germs and bacteria and vaccine-preventable diseases that we certainly want to protect our patients from."
Since this is a time that patients are anxious and have lots of questions, she said, the community health centers urge patients to employ Telehealth, a service which involves the use if the internet and other technology to provide services to patients remotely.
Russo pointed out that the Bay Pines VA is acting according to the VA national response plan, and of the four phases of that plan, he noted that we are now in phase two, which includes initial response involving containment and transition from containment to community mitigation. He also pointed out there have been many operational changes made.
"We are currently in the works for expanding our intensive care unit bed capacity for an anticipated surge of patients," he said.
Though they are about 50 percent staffed, the VA clinics are still open for urgent needs or for veterans who have maintained their appointments, Russo said. Some veterans have transitioned to Telehealth appointments.
Visiting hours at the center are now from 9-8 p.m. and only one visitor per veteran is allowed. Also, at this time the center can conduct tests only for veterans who are symptomatic of the coronavirus. Russo encouraged veterans who believe they are experiencing symptoms to call the network clinical call center at 1-877-741-3400 for evaluation and guidance 24 hours a day from triage nurses and licensed practitioners.
Concerning the recently passed 2.2 trillion dollar federal stimulus bill, Fisher explained that not only working adults will be receiving government checks as part of the relief package but senior citizens who are on social security will receive them as well. These checks, $1,200 for each adult who makes under $75,000 per year with additional checks of $500 per child dependent, will not have an affect any other means tested benefits.
Included in the stimulus bill is the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program, which includes $600 per week in unemployment benefits in addition to the usual $275 per week maximum from the state of Florida.
"The Florida workers can be eligible for up to $875 per week," Fisher explained.
Due to the enormous amount of requests for these benefits coming in such a short period of time, it has been difficult of late for some to get through as the state's server has been crashing from the amount of traffic, he said. But he noted that the benefit is retroactive to a person's date of unemployment.
"That benefit is eligible for 39 weeks," Fisher said, "if we do go into an extended shelter-in-place."
Regarding housing, protections that apply to federally assisted mortgages include a 150-day halt to evictions, a 60-day relief for foreclosures and a 12-month penalty-free forbearance.
"Which means if you are having trouble paying your mortgage because of coronavirus," he said, "you will not have to pay your mortgage for up to 12 months."
Furthermore, there's a $345 billion fund to provide small business loan guarantees for businesses to keep employees on payroll and to keep rent and utility expenses paid, up to $10 million. Fisher said that if a business keeps employees on the payroll after eight weeks, all these expenses will be forgiven.
"It's really going to act more like a grant," Fisher said, "as long as you're doing your part to keep your employees in a job, even though we're facing the crisis."

Q: Hows does a windows color get calculated from ARGB Can anyone tell me how from an ARGB, the corresponding windows Color is calculated? I know there is a ColorTranslator.ToWin32() that does the calculation but how is it done?
Also, what is the difference between an OLE color and a windows (win32) color?
JD.

A: Using an IL Disassembler (like Reflector), you can get the code for ColorTranslator.ToWin32(). Notice that the ToWin32 color doesn't use the alpha value.
public static int ToWin32(Color c)
{
    return ((c.R | (c.G << 8)) | (c.B << 0x10));
}

ColorTranslator.ToOle(...) is testing if the color is a standard system color otherwise, it's using ToWin32 conversion :
public static int ToOle(Color c)
{
    if (c.IsKnownColor)
    {
        switch (c.ToKnownColor())
        {
            case KnownColor.ActiveBorder:
                return -2147483638;

            case KnownColor.ActiveCaption:
                return -2147483646;

            case KnownColor.ActiveCaptionText:
                return -2147483639;

            case KnownColor.AppWorkspace:
                return -2147483636;

            case KnownColor.Control:
                return -2147483633;

            case KnownColor.ControlDark:
                return -2147483632;

            case KnownColor.ControlDarkDark:
                return -2147483627;

            case KnownColor.ControlLight:
                return -2147483626;

            case KnownColor.ControlLightLight:
                return -2147483628;

            case KnownColor.ControlText:
                return -2147483630;

            case KnownColor.Desktop:
                return -2147483647;

            case KnownColor.GrayText:
                return -2147483631;

            case KnownColor.Highlight:
                return -2147483635;

            case KnownColor.HighlightText:
                return -2147483634;

            case KnownColor.HotTrack:
                return -2147483635;

            case KnownColor.InactiveBorder:
                return -2147483637;

            case KnownColor.InactiveCaption:
                return -2147483645;

            case KnownColor.InactiveCaptionText:
                return -2147483629;

            case KnownColor.Info:
                return -2147483624;

            case KnownColor.InfoText:
                return -2147483625;

            case KnownColor.Menu:
                return -2147483644;

            case KnownColor.MenuText:
                return -2147483641;

            case KnownColor.ScrollBar:
                return -2147483648;

            case KnownColor.Window:
                return -2147483643;

            case KnownColor.WindowFrame:
                return -2147483642;

            case KnownColor.WindowText:
                return -2147483640;

            case KnownColor.ButtonFace:
                return -2147483633;

            case KnownColor.ButtonHighlight:
                return -2147483628;

            case KnownColor.ButtonShadow:
                return -2147483632;

            case KnownColor.GradientActiveCaption:
                return -2147483621;

            case KnownColor.GradientInactiveCaption:
                return -2147483620;

            case KnownColor.MenuBar:
                return -2147483618;

            case KnownColor.MenuHighlight:
                return -2147483619;
        }
    }
    return ToWin32(c);
}

It means that if you declare a Color color = SystemColors.ControlText, the ColorTranslator.ToOle(color) will return -2147483630, but if you set the color to a custom ARGB color, ColorTranslator.ToOle will return the standard ToWin32() value.

A: The colour object in .NET includes an alpha channel (i.e. the level of transparency), while Win32 colours are purely RGB. So to convert between the two you want something like the following:
    static public int ConvertColourToWindowsRGB(Color dotNetColour)
    {
        int winRGB = 0;

        // windows rgb values have byte order 0x00BBGGRR
        winRGB |= (int)dotNetColour.R;
        winRGB |= (int)dotNetColour.G << 8;
        winRGB |= (int)dotNetColour.B << 16;

        return winRGB;
    }

    static public Color ConvertWindowsRGBToColour(int windowsRGBColour)
    {
        int r = 0, g = 0, b = 0;

        // windows rgb values have byte order 0x00BBGGRR
        r = (windowsRGBColour & 0x000000FF);
        g = (windowsRGBColour & 0x0000FF00) >> 8;
        b = (windowsRGBColour & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;

        Color dotNetColour = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);

        return dotNetColour;
    }

Shaquille O'Neal went on a $70,000 Walmart shopping spree after he was traded in 2007-08
By: Shane Dale
Scott Halleran

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL — Most famous role: "Kazaam" (1996) — One of the greatest and most beloved NBA players in history, Shaq also has appeared in his fair share of movies. After performances in "Blue Chips" and "Kazaam," Shaq appeared as himself in "Good Burger," "Scary Movie 4" and TV's "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

In August, KNXV television station in Arizona caught up with then-Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder J.D. Martinez just a few weeks after he was traded to the team to get an idea of what it's like to be sent from one city to another in the middle of the season.
"How am I gonna get my clothes over here? How am I gonna get all my stuff?" Martinez remembered thinking shortly after being traded from Detroit, adding he had to wait until the D-backs had an off day to head back to Detroit to gather his belongings.
Well, Shaquille O'Neal decided to bypass all that craziness when he was traded from the Miami Heat to the Phoenix Suns in the middle of the 2007-08 season. Instead, he took a trip to a Valley Walmart and loaded up on everything he needed to furnish his new apartment.
"I spent about $70,000 at Walmart. In one night," Shaq said during an interview on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" on HBO. "I spent so much, American Express thought my credit card was stolen. True story."
Shaq, who said he's "very impatient," said he simply didn't want to wait to furnish his new place.
"They've already got the apartment set up, but I ain't got nothing. I ain't got no towels. I ain't got no pots and pans. I ain't got no TVs," he said.
Shaq said he purchased clothes -- pants, socks, tank tops and underwear -- along with electronics such as computers, TVs and printers in a single Walmart shopping spree.
But when he reached the checkout aisle, his credit card was declined.
"The security team from American Express called me and said, 'Hey, man. Somebody stole your credit card and went to Walmart.' I said, 'No, sir, that's me,'" he said.
"So they turned it back on, I got a couple trucks, and bam."
Shaq's stay in the Valley was brief, as he was traded to Cleveland after the 2008-09 season. No word on whether he went on a similar shopping spree there.
"I'm Walmart's biggest customer. They know it," he said. "All day, every day."

Jon Stewart on Rally to Restore Sanity: 'I just wanted to speak a little bit from the heart.'
By Kate Ward
October 30, 2010 at 12:00 PM EDT
A crowd estimated at more than 250,000 turned up in Washington, D.C., today to watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert host the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, but that doesn't mean the hosts have developed big heads. During a press conference following the event at the National Press Building, Stewart insisted that though they inspired hundreds of thousands to travel to the nation's capital to engage in rational dialogue, they hardly consider themselves significant political figures. "We're not running for anything," Stewart told reporters. "We do television shows for people that like them. And we hope people continue to like them so Comedy Central can continue to sell beer to young people." Read on for the highlights from the press conference:
Stewart and Colbert have been planning the rally since March. Not that they expected it to actually happen. "The number of scripts we generated, the number of ideas, the number of people we talked to — to have it all coalesce and funnel through this three-hour window and for it to happen is just [an] incredible joy," Colbert said.
Many watched the rally — at the Mall and at home. According to a rep from Comedy Central, 4 million streamed the rally on computers from home, while more than 250,000 people were in attendance. And a good chunk of those 250,000 people rode to the rally in one of Arianna Huffington's free buses: At the press conference, she said she had 200 buses carrying 10,000 people.
Stewart wrote his keynote address one night before the rally. "I stayed up late last night until I was done…. I just wanted to speak a little bit from the heart," Stewart said. Colbert, on the other hand, claimed he took even less time to write his own address: "I improvised everything I did."
The rally wasn't seamless. Though it was certainly tough for Stewart to hit that high note during his duet with Colbert — as the Colbert Report host was eager to point out — the most difficult part of organizing the event was gathering the on-stage performers, who included Yusuf Islam, the O'Jays, and Ozzy Osbourne, to name a few. "Trying to get in somebody from Dubai, and another group from Cleveland, and get Ozzy in from… wherever Ozzy is from [was hard]," Stewart said. But it was worth the effort: "One of the nicest things about the event for me was their joy in performing together," he said. "There was a moment when we were in the trailer with The Roots, and I had Yusuf to my left, and Ozzy to my right … We all felt like 12-year-olds. We just played in this little trailer. It was purely joy. That, to me, was the best and the hardest thing to pull off and put together."
Stewart and Rick Sanchez have made peace. The Daily Show host says his feud with the embattled CNN host — who was fired after an interview in which he called Stewart a "bigot" and implied that Jews control the U.S. media — is all but over. "He called me a few days later. We spoke … It was pretty anti-Semitic," he joked. "[No], he was very kind … he is not a bad guy." But someone else is still waiting to hear from Sanchez. "He has yet to call me," Colbert said.
One of Stewart's regrets during his interview with President Obama? Calling the commander-in-chief "dude." "I don't think there's any interview that I've ever done that I don't end up going, 'I wish I had done that better,'" he said. "But I also called King Abdullah of Jordan … 'broseph.'" Stewart said he is fond of the spontaneity of his segments. "[The interviews] can also be the most revelatory," he said. "At times it's a high-wire act. At times it works, at times it doesn't. But again, the joy of it is trying."
Stewart's not afraid of bad reviews. The host might have bashed the media during his rally, but he's not afraid the media may bash him. "I don't care," he said of the possibility of poor reviews. "I just don't care. We're proud of ourselves, we're proud of the show we did, and, for us, the success of it was the execution and the idea and the intention … We've developed a pretty thick skin as far as critcism or praise, quite frankly."

Henry Chadwick  (23 June 1920 – 17 June 2008) was a British academic, theologian and Church of England priest. A former dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford – and as such, head of Christ Church, Oxford – he also served as master of Peterhouse, Cambridge.

A leading historian of the early church, Chadwick was appointed Regius Professor at both the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He was a noted supporter of improved relations with the Catholic Church, and a leading member of the Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission. An accomplished musician, having studied music to degree level, he took a leading part in the revision and updating of hymnals widely used within Anglicanism, chairing the board of the publisher, Hymns Ancient & Modern Ltd., for 20 years.

Family and early life
Born in Bromley, Kent, Chadwick was the son of a barrister (who died when Chadwick was five) and a music-loving mother. He had a number of accomplished siblings: Sir John Chadwick served as the British Ambassador to Romania, and the Revd William Owen Chadwick and his other brother also became priests. Despite this, it was one of his sisters whom Chadwick would later describe as "the brightest of us all." Chadwick was educated at Eton College, where he became a King's Scholar. Although he did not show much aptitude as a Grecian, his lifelong love of music made its first appearance and resulted in his receiving organ lessons from Henry Ley.

After leaving Eton, he went to Magdalene College, Cambridge, on a music scholarship, and was expected to make music his career. A highlight of his undergraduate musical career was playing a two piano arrangement of Chabrier's España with Boris Ord, then organist of King's College, Cambridge. However, Chadwick chose to further his interest in Evangelical Christianity, which had existed from his school days. He graduated in 1941 and began his theological training in 1942, at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, being ordained deacon by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Canterbury Cathedral, in 1943 and priest by the Bishop of Dover in 1944. He served a curacy at the Evangelical parish of Emmanuel, Croydon, arriving towards the end of the Second World War, as Croydon was attacked by German V-weapons, which provided a difficult pastoral challenge. From there, he became an assistant master at Wellington College. He married Margaret "Peggy"  Browning in 1945, and they had three daughters.

Academic career

Cambridge
Chadwick became a Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge, with his appointment as chaplain in 1946, and in 1950 advanced to the position of dean. His rising academic reputation was confirmed in 1953 with the publication of a project which had occupied him since the days of his curacy—his new translation of Origen's Contra Celsum, with introduction and notes. He had by now made himself an expert in Patristic Greek; only an inexactness in philology marking his earlier abandonment of Greek for music. Also in 1953 he was appointed co-editor (with Hedley Sparks) of the Journal of Theological Studies and continued editing it until 1985. He held the university appointment of Hulsean Lecturer from 1954 to 1956.

Oxford

Chadwick moved to Oxford in 1959, to take up the position of Regius Professor of Divinity (and with it the associated canonry at Christ Church Cathedral) at the relatively young age of 39. He was named a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) soon after, and in 1962 Gifford Lecturer at the University of St Andrews lecturing on Authority in the Early Church. He gave a second series of lectures in 1963–64, on Authority in Christian Theology. 1963 also saw him appointed to an early Anglican inquiry into the issues surrounding the ordination of women. In the 1960s, along with scholars like E. R. Dodds, Peter Brown, and John Matthews, Chadwick helped make Oxford a centre in the developing study of Late Antiquity. He clarified the classical philosophical roots of Christian thinkers from Justin Martyr and Clement of Alexandria to Augustine of Hippo, and set about raising academic standards within the theology department—in particular making the degree of Doctor of Divinity (DD) into a genuine research degree, as opposed to an honorary award made to senior clerics who had produced a volume of sermons. 1967 saw the publication of his most widely read work, The Early Church, published under the Pelican imprint of Penguin Books. He was disappointed that he was allowed to include so few footnotes in the original publication, and correspondingly delighted when the publishers of a German edition requested additional notes for their translation. That same year he was appointed to a Church of England doctrine commission investigating "The place of the Articles in the Anglican tradition and the question of Subscription and Assent to them", which produced its report in July 1968 ready for that year's Lambeth Conference. The report ultimately led to changes in the doctrinal affirmations required of Church of England clergy at their ordination or on taking up new appointments. In 1968 he was appointed a vice-president of the British Academy.

In 1969, Chadwick was appointed Dean of Christ Church, uniquely a dual role as a cathedral dean and head of a college. This period was not entirely happy; a scholarly ability to see all sides of a question, along with an ingrained desire not to upset his colleagues, sometimes made it hard for him to make a quick or firm decision. However, during his time as Dean the college benefited from a continued programme of renovation with internal changes that provided more student accommodation. The position gave Chadwick the chance to influence the musical direction of the cathedral. In The Independent newspaper, obituary writer Andrew Louth notes that at the retirement of Sydney Watson as organist, when he and Chadwick played piano duets together Chadwick's technique was the equal of Watson's. The new organist, Simon Preston, had ambitious plans for improving musical standards, and Chadwick was pleased to be able to support these, not least by raising funds for a new organ.

Chadwick also found time to contribute to the administration of the wider university, serving on the Hebdomadal Council, as a Delegate of Oxford University Press, as one of the curators of the Bodleian, and as Pro-Vice-Chancellor 1974–75. It was during this period that he began to participate in the discussions of the Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC); he was a member of the commission 1969–81 and again 1983–90. his early Evangelical sympathies having been tempered over time, helped by his friendship with Edward Yarnold, Master of Campion Hall. He was a master of the Anglican approach of producing statements capable of a range of interpretations to enable common ground to be reached, this worked well for simpler historical differences, but did not always impress the Roman Catholic members of the commission when it came to questions of ecclesiology and church authority. He was also able to use his historical background to put forward summaries of early church positions on a variety of subjects, and he had a true desire to establish consensus on the basis of the principles revealed by this research. Although his scholarly output suffered from the pressures on his time, he was editor of Oxford Early Christian Texts (from 1970), and was able to work on two major monographs, Priscillian of Avila: the occult and the charismatic in the early Church (published 1976) and Boethius: the consolations of music, logic, theology and philosophy (published 1981). The second of these in particular allowing him to draw on the full range of his interests.

Return to Cambridge
In 1979, Chadwick resigned the deanship, returning to Cambridge to take up the Regius Chair of Divinity. Additionally, he became a Syndic of Cambridge University Press, a Fellow of Magdalene, and was installed as an honorary canon of Ely Cathedral. He gained a reputation as a popular lecturer in Cambridge, and between 1982 and 1983 gave the Sarum Lectures in Oxford, for which his subject was Augustine of Hippo. Edited, these lectures became the basis for his 1986 book, Augustine. He retired from the professorship in 1983 and settled in Oxford.

After four years in retirement, he received an unexpected invitation to become Master of Peterhouse in 1987, thus becoming the first person in over four centuries to lead a college at both Oxford and Cambridge. Chadwick's second appointment as head of a college proved a happier experience than his first. The college had been experiencing some problems following the admission of the first female students, to which some fellows were implacably opposed, making their displeasure known at High Table. Chadwick insisted on civility, which coupled with the retirement of some of the fellows, ensured an improvement in the atmosphere within the college. This continued after his second retirement (again to Oxford) in 1993. He was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1989 Queen's Birthday Honours. In 1991 he published a new translation of Augustine's Confessions, with extensive notes revealing Augustine's debt to Plotinus.

Chadwick also edited Oxford Early Christian Studies (from 1990). With his brother Owen, he edited The Oxford History of the Christian Church (12 vols., 1981–2010). His own volumes in this series were The Church in Ancient Society: from Galilee to Gregory the Great (2001) and East and West: The Making of a Rift in the Church: From Apostolic Times until the Council of Florence (2005). His final work was to have been on Photios I of Constantinople, research for which covered many of his interests, particularly classical learning and Christianity, and ecumenism. Some of his material on the topic was published in East and West. He was also an Editorial Advisor of Dionysius. He died in Oxford on 17 June 2008.

Reputation and recognition
Writing in an obituary for The Guardian, the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, wrote, "'The Anglican church,' it was said, 'may not have a Pope, but it does have Henry Chadwick,'" and further described him as an "aristocrat among Anglican scholars". Other obituaries and appreciations describe how he was generous with his time and knowledge, and always ready to point students in the right direction. The Independent credits his capacious memory and a personal library of around 20,000 books as the foundation of his broad scholarship. According to The Times, when reviewing others' writing he was usually generous, though capable of a courteous demolition job when well-deserved.

A capable preacher, though doubtful of his ability when preaching to a non-academic congregation, Chadwick was well regarded as a lecturer and companion at High Table. However, a natural shyness could give him a rather remote air. On an American lecture tour, he noticed three young women who came to every lecture, but took no notes. At the end of lectures he asked the women how they had enjoyed them, to be told that they had no real interest in the subject itself, but they loved to hear him speak. The character of the college provost in the A Staircase in Surrey novels of Christ Church colleague J. I. M. Stewart was based on that of Chadwick.

Chadwick held honorary degrees from the universities of Glasgow, Uppsala, Yale, Leeds, Manchester, Surrey, Chicago, Harvard, Jena and the Augustinian University of Rome. He was made an honorary fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge, in 1958, just before he took up his Oxford Chair; and of Magdalene College, Cambridge, in 1962. He also treasured a stole given to him by Pope John Paul II in 1982, and this was placed on his coffin during his funeral at Christ Church on 25 June 2008. Two Festschriften were made in his honour, one for his contributions to the study of church history (Christian Authority, ed. Gillian Evans, 1988), the other for his ecumenical work (The Making of Orthodoxy, ed. Rowan Williams, 1989). In addition to his work on ARCIC he was involved in similar conversations with the Eastern Orthodox Churches. In 1974 Ladbrokes had Chadwick at odds of 7–1 for appointment as the next Archbishop of Canterbury; his brother Owen was at 6–1. In 1984 The Times reported that both brothers were reputed to have turned down more than one bishopric.

Chadwick's love of music led him to serve for twenty years as chairman of the council of Hymns Ancient & Modern Ltd. During this time the company expanded its scope. From producing the hymnbooks Hymns Ancient and Modern (A&M), and The English Hymnal, it also took ownership of Canterbury Press, SCM Press, and the Church Times, leading to jokes that Chadwick was an ecclesiastical Rupert Murdoch. He was heavily involved in the editorial process leading to the supplements to A&M, 100 Hymns for Today, More Hymns for Today, Worship Songs Ancient and Modern, and Hymns Ancient and Modern New Standard, which combined the best of the original book with that from the supplements into a single volume, and also the most recent revision, Common Praise. He had particularly argued for the inclusion of the Spiritual, Steal Away, and this was amongst the music used at his funeral.

He served as a Governor of Monkton Combe School from 1964 to 1974.

Chadwick was an International member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

A memorial to him and his brother was unveiled at Westminster Abbey on the 2nd of February 2018

Chadwick published over 125 books, monographs, articles etc. Mentioned in obituaries as being particularly notable are:
Origen: Contra Celsum (1953)
Lessing's Theological Writings (Selected and Translated, Stanford University Press, 1957)

Lascăr's artistic evolution has been influenced greatly by the Romanian revolution of 1989, when the dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu was toppled, ending 42 years of Communist rule. The revolutionary fervour that erupted on to the streets of towns and cities all over Romania, and which Lascăr experienced himself as an impressionable youngster, has informed his art in a very abstract, visual way.

There is so much I wish to share in this Report regarding the new story for humanity and the deep curve of a Reset that many consciously awakened people find themselves personally experiencing at this time. I first began to write about a new epoch, a new era, a new age and a . . .


Many years ago when we lived in the Midwest for my husband's schooling...and were far away from any of the western states we once called home, I became fast friends with a few women that were also temporary transplants. They became my tribe. We stepped in and supported...we laughed together and confided in one another. Each month we would take turns hosting a girl's luncheon and then we would spend the rest of the afternoon chatting with our babes in arms and toddlers playing underfoot.
When our years in the Midwest came to a close, together we compiled a cookbook of our favored recipes as a token of our friendship. To this day some of my long time favorites come from the tattered, worn-out pages of the friendship cookbook, including this sugar cookie recipe. I've made them countless times over the years, changing and perfecting the recipe along the way, but even with the changes they still remind me of my sweet friends. Here's to friendship & love! Happy Valentine's Day.
Divide in half, make into two 2" rolls then wrap carefully in plastic wrap. Chill, or put in freezer. Slice off 1/4" thick and then bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

"Those Little Efforts From Us…" Rohit Sharma Addresses Team India After Win In T20I Series Vs WI – SportsMediaz
Team India is in brimming with confidence after they clinched the five-match T20I series against West Indies with 4-1 margin. The team thrashed the hosts in the fifth and final match by 88 runs on Sunday at Lauderhill, Florida. India have now won six of their last seven T20I series. Skipper Rohit Sharma was rested from the final T20I match and Hardik Pandya took Team India's charge and led them to a prestigious win. Rohit addressed the team after claiming the series and acknowledged every player for their combined efforts.
"We have talked many times about what we wanted to do, how we wanted to play. It is one thing talking about it and it is another to go out there and doing it. I felt everyone was trying to do that, in that, most of us actually went and did that. That to me was very pleasing. Not just me and him (Dravid) are talking, we all are doing that. Firstly, I want to appreciate everyone buying into the thought and then going out there and doing it. It takes a lot, it is not easy, we have tried it and we have succeeded in most occasions, which is a good thing," said Rohit in a video posted on BCCI TV.
"It takes a lot, it is not easy, we have tried it and we have succeeded in most occasions, which is a good thing. That is what I wanted to address as captain, to the group because it was one important thing that we wanted to achieve and we have pretty much achieved it but it does not mean it is the end of the road for us. Lot to play for and we will continue to keep topping up those little aspects of the game and again, just wanted to appreciate, it takes a lot to change your game, it takes a lot to get into different mindset. For me individual brilliance is good, but those little little efforts from us is what will give us more results consistently and that is what we are looking for," he added.
On the other hand, Hardik had also said that he will be 'more than happy' if he becomes a full-time captain of Team India.
"Yeah! why not? If I get an opportunity in the future, I'll be more than happy to do that, but right now we have the World Cup, and we have the Asia Cup [coming up]," Hardik had said in a post-match presentation.
"We're going to focus on that and make sure as a team what we're doing, we continue [with that] and make sure that all the skillsets, which we are learning we can keep getting better at it, and at the same point of time enjoy the game as well," he added.
Coming to Sunday's match, Shreyas Iyer roared back to form with a stroke-filled 64 while the spinners picked up all the 10 wickets as India recorded yet another one-sided 88-run victory over West Indies.
It was Iyer's half-century and useful contributions from Deepak Hooda (38 off 25 balls) and stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya's (28 off 16 balls) cameo that propelled India to 188 for 7 in 20 overs after being put in to bat.
Then, Pandya handed the new ball to Axar Patel (3-1-15-3), who quickly removed makeshift opener Jason Holder (0), Shamarah Brooks (13) and Devon Thomas (10) with three arm balls on a track where balls stopped and gripped off the surface.
West Indies were all out for 100 runs inside 16 overs as one of the most lopsided T20I bilateral series came to an end even though India won't be complaining having ticked most of the boxes.

1973 Pittsburgh Steelers: A Return To The Playoffs
Dan Flaherty NFL History Articles, Sports History Articles 1973 NFL, 1973 Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL history, Pittsburgh Steelers history, sports history articles
The 1973 Pittsburgh Steelers came into the season looking to build on a breakthrough year from 1972, when they went to the AFC Championship Game. By that standard, the '73 Steelers came up short. What this team did do, however, was prove that the breakthrough of 1972 was no fluke, establish themselves as a steady contender and set the stage for Super Bowl trophies in the very near future.
Terry Bradshaw was continuing to develop at quarterback. His 49 percent completion rate was poor, as was his 10/15 TD-INT ratio. Bradshaw was intercepted on 8.3 percent of his passes. Even allowing that this was an era when defensive secondaries had a much freer hand under the rules, these were very poor numbers.
What Bradshaw could do was make big plays. His 6.6 yards-per-attempt was more respectable and his receivers could really stretch the field. Ron Shanklin's thirty catches went for an astonishing 23.7 yards a pop. Frank Lewis only caught 23 balls, but those receptions produced over 400 yards. Barry Pearson was a third downfield threat in an era when most offenses struggled to find one big-play target.
Franco Harris made the Pro Bowl, but the second-year back slipped after a 1,000-yard season in his rookie year of '72. Franco rushed for just under 700 yards. More alarming was a nearly two-yard dip in his yards-per-carry, which clocked in at a mediocre 3.7.
Fortunately, Preston Pearson and John "Frenchy" Fuqua combined for over 1,000 yards on their own behind an offensive line anchored by Pro Bowl guard Bruce Van Dyke. And the Steeler offense was still a solid fourth in the league in points scored.
The defense was keyed by an outstanding front four. Joe Greene was 1st-team All-Pro at the defensive tackle spot. Greene, a future Hall of Famer, drew the attention of opposing blockers and that freed up L.C. Greenwood and Dwight White on the edge and Ernie Holmes inside. The other three lineman combined for 23 sacks. Greenwood and White went to the Pro Bowl.
Jack Ham had a breakout year at the linebacker spot, getting the first Pro Bowl ticket of his Hall of Fame career. Ham joined another Pro Bowler, veteran Andy Russell, on the second line of defense. The secondary was manned by ballhawks John Rowser at corner and Mike Wagner at strong safety, who combined to intercept fourteen passes.
Even though the Steeler defense had the bigger names and even though they eventually outpaced their offensive counterparts, they were still the relatively weaker part of this 1973 team. Pittsburgh ranked eighth in the NFL in points allowed.
The Steelers opened the season at home against the mediocre Detroit Lions. The game was tied 10-10 after three quarters. But Pittsburgh was enjoying a massive edge in ball control. They would end up running 83 plays from scrimmage, compared to just 55 for Detroit. In the fourth quarter, Bradshaw found tight end John McMakin on a 24-yard touchdown pass to get the lead. Bradshaw then tossed a six-yard scoring pass to Shanklin that sealed the 24-10 win.
Pittsburgh shared the AFC's Central Division with the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Oilers and Cleveland Browns. In 1972, the Steelers dethroned the Browns and the first meeting between the two rivals this year came in Week 2. Cleveland came to town.
The Steelers showed that 1972's 30-0 rout in December that took control of the division was no fluke. With a 196-84 edge in rush yardage and three interceptions, Pittsburgh coasted to a 33-6 win. They followed that up with a 36-7 romp at lowly Houston, keyed by second half Pick-6s from Russell and Glen Edwards that broke open a 12-7 game. One more rout of a terrible team followed when the Steelers hosted the San Diego Chargers and picked up six turnovers, en route to a 38-0 lead by halftime and an eventual 38-21 win.
At 4-0, it was time for a trip to face contending Cincinnati. The Pittsburgh offensive line did not play well. There was no running game and Bradshaw was sacked four times. The defense allowed 172 yards on the ground themselves and even though some red zone stiffening kept them game close, the end result was still a 19-7 loss.
With Cincinnati making the return trip to Pittsburgh in just two weeks, there was no time to lose in getting back on track. At home against a bad New York Jets team, Harris went over 100 yards in a 26-14 win. It was time for another crack at the Bengals.
When Bradshaw was knocked out early, this game and the entire division race could have gotten away from the Steelers. But backup QB Terry Hanratty stepped up and hit Shanklin on a 51-yard touchdown strike in the second quarter. It was the difference in a tough 20-13 win.
Pittsburgh stayed at home to face the playoff-bound Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football, with Hanratty still in the lineup. The one-time hot prospect from Notre Dame who had never quite panned out, Hanratty was making the most of his opportunity to play. He threw two more touchdown passes, while Harris muscled out 90 yards in a 21-16 win.
Hanratty stayed in the lineup at Oakland on November 11. The Steelers had knocked the Raiders out of the playoffs last year and Oakland was on its way back to the postseason. Hanratty took care of the ball and Pittsburgh enjoyed a 5-1 turnover advantage. White, working his defensive end spot, intercepted two passes and the Steelers got a big 17-9 road win.
Pittsburgh welcomed in Denver, a decent team on the fringes of playoff contention in an era when only four teams per conference qualified for the postseason. Trailing 13-6 in the fourth quarter, Hanratty went up top to Shanklin for a 42-yard touchdown pass to tie the game.
But deficiencies in the running attack were coming home to roost. Pittsburgh was outrushed 184-83 for the game and Denver pulled away to win 23-13. A week later in Cleveland, the running game failed down close. Having to settle for three field goals meant a 21-16 loss in a game the Steelers had otherwise controlled.
Pittsburgh was still 8-3, but the two-game skid had allowed Cincinnati to get back in the race at 7-4. There was only wild-card spot available. Denver was giving chase at 6-3-2, with Buffalo at 6-5.
Bradshaw was coming back, but Miami—the defending Super Bowl champions and on their way to a repeat title—was not in a welcoming mood on the first Monday Night in December. Bradshaw was intercepted three times. The Steelers were in a 30-3 hole by halftime. They made the final score respectable, but the 30-26 loss still made it three defeats in a row.
What's more, Cincinnati had knocked off Super Bowl-bound Minnesota to move into a tie for first place and the Bengals had the tiebreaker. The good news is that Denver had lost to another playoff team in Dallas, so the AFC Central was looking good to produce the wild-card.
If Pittsburgh could take care of business that is. They hosted Houston and got the ground game rolling against the bad opponent, with a 188-58 edge in rush yardage making up for four Bradshaw interceptions in the 33-7 win. Cincinnati knocked off Cleveland. In the meantime, Buffalo moved up to 8-5. At 9-4, the Steelers were still on track to make it, but they would also lose a tiebreaker to the Bills.
That made Saturday afternoon at San Francisco effectively a must-win spot. Facing a bad team, Rowser sparked Pittsburgh early on with a 71-yard Pick-6 that was the reason the Steelers led 14-7 at the half. Pittsburgh gradually took control in the second half, with a couple field goals extending the lead to 20-7. Finally, Bradshaw hit Lewis on a 50-yard touchdown strike to blow it open. The 37-14 win sent Pittsburgh back to the playoffs.
In a decade that had a lot of great playoff rivalries, the Steelers and Raiders was the one that would end up remembered the best. The following Saturday afternoon they met in the second of what would turn out to be five postseason battles in the 1970s.
Pittsburgh generally fared pretty well, having won the previous year and with two more victories ahead of them. Today, not so much. The Steelers were pounded up front, losing rush yardage 232-65. Trailing 16-7 in the third quarter, Bradshaw threw a Pick-6 that effectively ended the game. The final was 33-14.
After reaching the AFC Championship Game a year earlier, it was a disappointment for Pittsburgh to fall as a wild card in the divisional round this year. But an observer that would have taken a step back, even in the moment, might have noted that after several decades of irrelevance, simply getting back to the playoffs had proven the Steelers were no fluke. And with the advantage of history we know that by 1974, they would be champs.
A Great Four-Year Run Starts With The 1973 Minnesota Vikings
Dan Flaherty NFL History Articles, Sports History Articles 1973 Minnesota Vikings, 1973 NFL, 1973 NFL season, Bud Grant Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Vikings history, NFL history articles, sports history articles
Fran Tarkenton's return to the Twin Cities in 1972 had fizzled out. But the 1973 Minnesota Vikings juiced up the weapons around the future Hall of Fame quarterback and started the best four-year stretch in the history of the franchise.
GREAT 1980s SPORTS MOMENTS
Start reading today.
The lack of a go-to running back had hindered the Vikings—they got piecemeal work from backs ranging from Oscar Reed to Dave Osborn to Bill Brown for the past few years, but nothing to really sustain an attack in an era where defense-friendly passing rules made running the football an imperative. Minnesota drafted a fullback named Chuck Foreman, a good blend of power and speed and he rushed for 801 yards in 1973, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Tarkenton still had reliable John Gilliam, a big-play wideout on the outside. The offensive line was tolerable, though not great. Ron Yary was outstanding at right tackle, making 1st-team All-Pro, but the best of the rest was center Mick Tingelhoff, once a Pro Bowler, but now past his prime.
The defense, after regressing in 1972, returned to be one of the league's elite. The "Purple People Eaters" finished second in the league in points allowed. Carl Eller and Alan Page were first-team All-Pro up front, with Gary Larsen and 36-year-old Jim Marshall competent players that filled out the front four.
More improvement came in the back seven. Jeff Siemon was a 23-year-old middle linebacker and he made the Pro Bowl. So did veteran free safety Paul Krause, and cornerback Bobby Bryant had a breakout year, with seven interceptions.
Minnesota opened the season at home with the Oakland Raiders, a consistent playoff team throughout the 1970s. Tarkenton's 43-yard touchdown pass to Gilliam put the Vikes up 10-0 early, though a special teams lapse—allowing a punt return for a TD—put Minnesota behind 16-10. In the end, Minnesota was able to force four turnovers and win 24-16.
One week later, the Vikings fell behind a terrible Chicago Bears team on the road, 10-0, but turned it around and won 22-13, getting five field goals from Fred Cox. The biggest concern in the early going was rush defense—both the Raiders and Bears had run for 200 yards on a Minnesota defense that prided itself on being physical up front.
The rush defense showed for a trip to Green Bay, the team that had displaced Minnesota in the NFC Central (the four teams in the current NFC North). The Packers would slip below .500 this year, and the Vikings also intercepted four passes to go along with dominating the point of attack in an 11-3 win.
Ed Marinaro, an occasionally used fullback, had rushed for 83 yards against Green Bay, and he was a weapon again the next week at Detroit's Tiger Stadium. Tarkenton found the fullback on two first-quarter touchdown passes that sent the tone in a 23-9 win.
Minnesota played two subpar teams in the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles and won both. They didn't run the ball well in San Francisco, but forced five turnovers against an offense quarterbacked by Steve Spurrier, in for the injured John Brodie. Gilliam starred in the win over Philly, running an end-around for one touchdown and catching another.
The Vikings were riding high at 6-0, as were the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC. Homefield advantage was still determined on a rotation system, rather than by merit, so the Vikes-Rams meeting in Minneapolis on October 28 didn't have the same meaning it would today. But there was still a lot of pride on the line. Minnesota ran for 182 yards, held Los Angeles to 89 on the ground and won 10-9. More dominance of the running game led to a 26-3 win over Cleveland a week later.
No one else in the NFC Central was seriously going to keep up with Minnesota and any doubt about that was eliminated when the Vikings beat the Lions 28-7. Brown and Osborn conjured up the best memories of their recent past, in rushing for 101 and 79 yards respectively. With a record of 9-0, an undefeated season was on the table—just one year after the Miami Dolphins had completed a perfect year by winning the Super Bowl.
A Monday Night visit to Atlanta ended those dreams. The Falcons were a good team, one that would finish 9-5 and even though they missed the playoffs, they would have made it under the more expanded format of today. Tarkenton threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Gilliam, but there was no running game and Atlanta's Dave Hampton ran for 108 yards to key the Falcons' 20-14 win.
Tarkenton and Gilliam hooked up five times for 139 yards the next week against the Bears. Two of them went for touchdowns and Tarkenton was an efficient 11/15. Reed was the running back who had his moment in the sun, going for 97 yards in a 31-13 win.
Foreman's playing time was going up and down in this stretch of games and he was ineffective at Cincinnati. The Bengals were on their way to a 10-4 season and playoff spot and they embarrassed the Vikes 27-0. Minnesota bounced back to close out the year with easy wins over the Packers and New York Giants, both by 31-7 counts and both on the road. Bryant intercepted three passes at Green Bay, including one taken to the house early that set the tone.
Now it was playoff time and it was George Allen's Washington Redskins that were coming to old Metropolitan Stadium on December 22 for the NFC Divisional Playoff round. An early turnover set up a Redskins touchdown, and Washington's Larry Brown—the league MVP one year earlier when the 'Skins reached the Super Bowl—ran for 115 yards. Minnesota trailed 7-3 early and 13-10 after three quarters.
The risk of another home playoff loss, akin to the disappointments of 1970 and 1971 was a real possibility. But Tarkenton found Gilliam on a 28-yard touchdown pass to give the Vikings the lead. Then corner Nate Wright intercepted a pass and set up another Tarkenton-to-Gilliam touchdown. Washington scored to cut the lead back to 24-20, but Tarkenton led a final drive for a field goal and Minnesota won 27-20.
Minnesota would go to Dallas for the NFC Championship Game, although under today's rules, the Vikings would have been the #1 seed in the NFC. The defense came ready to play and so did the running game. Foreman ran for 76 yards, with Reed adding 75. Dallas running back Calvin Hill was out, and quarterback Roger Staubach couldn't carry the load.
Nonetheless, a punt return for a TD got Dallas back into the game after they fell behind 10-0. Tarkenton and Gilliam hooked up on a 54-yard touchdown pass, but it was still 17-10, when the Cowboys began driving and crossed midfield.
Then Bryant stepped up and intercepted Staubach. It was one of four picks thrown by the Dallas quarterback and on this one Bryant finished it off in the end zone. The game was effectively over. Minnesota won 27-10 and was going to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1969.
Head coach Bud Grant took his team back to the state of Texas for the Super Bowl. The game was held at Rice Stadium in Houston, and the Miami Dolphins were looking for a repeat title. The Dolphins were simply too good. Tarkenton was able to complete 18/28 passes for 182 yards, but he couldn't find Gilliam on the big play, and the Vikings couldn't run the ball. Miami could run, piling up 196 rush yards and they won easily, 24-7.
The 1973 season was still the start of some very good things in Minnesota Vikings football history. They never did win the Super Bowl, but this was the first of three NFC crowns in a four-year stretch when the Vikings were the best team in their conference.

Dan Rogas
Aug. 9, 1926 - May 1, 2018 Port Arthur, Texas
Dan Rogas graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and played college football at Tulane University in New Orleans from 1947 – 1950. Following his graduation, Rogas was drafted by the Cleveland Browns but played the 1951 season with the Detroit Lions. Rogas was the first National Football League draftee from Port Arthur. He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 1952 season.
Lamar University hired Rogas in 1955 to serve as their offensive line coach, a position he held until 1971. During that time, he coached 22 all-conference and five All-America players.
Beginning in 1963, Rogas also coached the Lamar University men's golf team. In his first year, Rogas coached the team to the 1963 Lone Star conference championship. The golf team also moved to the Southland Conference, where Rogas led his players to the first ten conference championships from 1964 until 1973.
In 1972, Rogas moved into administration as the athletic business manager and director of the Cardinal Club. Rogas's last year as the head coach, the golf team captured another conference championship, the twelfth under his leadership. The Southland Conference named Rogas the men's golf coach of the year twice in 1973 and 1981.
Rogas was an integral part of the design and building of the golf driving range at Lamar University. He mentored hundreds of students and athletes and worked to improve the Beaumont community by serving as the President of the Young Men's Business League (YMBL).
In 1986, Lamar University recognized Rogas' contributions to the university by inducting him into its Cardinal Hall of Honor. Rogas' career was also recognized by the Thomas Jefferson High School Alumni Association and Tulane University. He is a member of the Museum of the Gulf Coast, Sports Hall of Fame.

Home » Fontina PDO » The story
The first reference to Fontina
The first reference to Fontina dates back to 1270, while the first mention of this Aosta Valley cheese in literature is in 1477, in the Summa Lacticinorum by Pantaleone di Confienza, a Vercelli physician, although its history has even older origins, handed down from generation to generation.
The first visual testimony dates back a few years before Pantaleone's text and is found in a fresco in Issogne castle. The fresco depicts an artisan shop with Fontina wheels on the counter as they are still produced and sold today.
Other theories exist regarding the origin of its name. According to some historians, the name Fontina is said to refer to a mountain pasture in Valle d'Aosta called "Fontin". Other sources, instead, relate it to the old village of Fontinaz. Some other theories, then, associate it to the ancient French term "fondis", which indicates the capacity of this cheese to melt if exposed to heat, at not particularly high temperatures (melting temperature around 60°C).
The first official classification
However, we have to wait until 1887 for the first official classification. Fontina is mentioned with its characteristics in the yearbook of the Experimental Station of the dairy of Lodi in the chapter: "Le Fontine di Val d'Aosta".
The second classification
The second classification was introduced in the 30s and 40s by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, through the Alpine Experimental Station in Salice d'Ulzio and the Zoo-technical Dairy Institute in Turin.
In 1952, the Consortium of Fontina Producers was founded.
The Designation of Origin
The Presidential Decree of 1955 recognized the Designation of Origin.
The Fontina Designation of Origin
Giulio Angelo Negri, in "Il casaro valdostano", offered a first organized arrangement of the research carried out up to that time.
The Ministerial Decree of June 26 1957 entrusted the Consortium of Fontina Producers (**LINK**) with the task of supervising the production and marketing of cheese for which the Fontina Designation of Origin was authorized. The Consortium was given the right to mark the product with markings or identifying marks. In the first year, 75,000 wheels were branded; a decade later the quantity doubled and by the end of the 1980s, it had reached 300,000 wheels. In addition, production has continued to grow up to the present day.
In 1996, exactly fortyone years after obtaining the Designation of Origin, the European Commission granted Fontina the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
Protection, promotion and enhancement
The Consortium of Producers and Protection of Fontina PDO was recognized by the Decree of the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policy of April 26 2002, and acquired specific tasks and duties. In particular, the Decree recalls the tasks referred to in Article 14, paragraph 15, of Law No. 526 of 21 December 1999, attributing to the Consortium the functions of protection, promotion, enhancement, consumer information and general care of the interests relating to the designation.

Guy Fawkes, call your office
By Anthony Sacramone.
On this day in 1605, an angry English Catholic named Guy Fawkes along with a group of other angry English Catholics with other names attempted to blow the House of Lords and King James I to high heaven. The so-called Gunpowder Plot gave birth to centuries of stringent anti-Catholic legislation, an infamous graphic novel with a persecution complex, hactivism, and the abbreviated inquiry "WTF?"
Fawkes was born in 1570 in York, for which he cannot be held responsible. That he began fighting on the side of imperial Catholic Spain against the Protestant Dutch Republic in the Eighty Years War is a matter of moral culpability. It was not long before Fawkes was in Spain asking King Philip II to aid embattled Catholics in England.
A variety of factors created that embattlement. First there was Henry VIII, who asked Pope Clement VII for an annulment from Catherine of Aragon so he could marry a bunch of other women, but was denied in a tastefully crafted letter that opened, "To whom it may concern." The pope stood his moral ground, thus denying Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor and Catherine's nephew, another excuse to bust up Rome. So Henry named himself head of the church in England, which enabled him to sleep with whomever he wanted, making things very difficult for those who remained loyal to the Bishop of Rome and traditional views of marriage.
The Gunpowder Plotters.
Catholics had placed high hopes in the accession of James VI of Scotland to the English throne in 1603. (They had enjoyed a brief respite from persecution under Henry and Catherine's Catholic daughter Mary Tudor, who did her best to kill as many Protestants as possible, earning her the nickname "Bloody," after "Chloé" proved a tad precious.) James was the son of the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots, who was herself daughter of the French Mary of Guise (who was also Queen of Scots—whether the same Scots is unclear, there having been quite a lot of Scots at one time).
Believing that James would at least soften the anti-Catholic laws that had left many adherents of the Old Faith impoverished, imprisoned, or dead, and that had only become more onerous after the Spanish Armada launched, Catholics were soon disappointed. James had no such intention, especially given a clinical paranoia that made King Herod look like a bodhisattva. (To be fair, James had been the object of earlier, failed Catholic conspiracies, called the Bye and Main plots. One of the plans had been to kidnap the king and hold him in the Tower of London until Catholics were granted full toleration, which becomes increasingly difficult to argue for when you're holding the monarch captive, as there's only so much antisocial behavior any king can tolerate before someone loses an eye.)
So a frustrated-up-to-here group of extremists under the leadership of the rebellious Catholic crusader Robert Catesby attempted to give the royal succession a good shove down History Lane by blowing up James and everyone who mattered.
One Catholic lord, Monteagle, was tipped off ahead of time. "The Monteagle Letter" made its way to the king, who, owing to an intuitive instinct that rivaled that of the future Mr. Sherlock Holmes, deduced that something sinister was afoot. In fact, an inspection of the parliamentary cellars on the fateful night of November 5 found Guy (now named Guido*) Fawkes guarding tubs of dynamite beneath the House of Lords. The story of Catholics in England goes downhill from there, what with the conspirators being tortured and executed and having their heads placed on pikes and such.**
Guys: Fawkes Wasn't an Anarchist
In light of this history, Fawkes is a strange choice to be the face of hacker activists like Anonymous and other anarchist movements. We've all seen that stupid mask, the one that looks like Gomez Adams just did it with Morticia.
Fawkes, after all, was first and foremost loyal to the Holy See, which at the time of the foiled plot was being wholly overseen by Pope Paul V, best known as the guy who created the Bank of the Holy Spirit, the first national bank in Europe, and the first bank of any stripe to waive monthly maintenance fees if you paid for two indulgences directly from the account in any 30-day period. (It was Paul V, after all, who finished St. Peter's Basilica, and those things don't come cheap. He also placed the entire Venetian Republic under interdict, and if you knew the paperwork involved, you'd be mightily impressed.)
It should be noted that papal agents were also implicated in the Gunpowder Plot. Which is to say, seventeenth-century Roman Catholicism was not exactly in the liberté vanguard, but the same could be said for Jacobean England and 99 percent of the rest of human associations at that time, civil or spiritual, owing to the introduction of fluoride to the drinking water (although I may be mistaken about that).
The events of November 5 loomed large in the imagination of white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants in Britain and America for quite some time. (Swarthy Anglo-Saxon Protestants tended to be more laid back about such matters.) The prospect of a duplicitous cadre of fifth-columnists loyal to a foreign prince made Catholicism a suspect religion in Protestant-majority countries for centuries.
It would take until the nineteenth century for 200 years to pass, along with laws loosening restrictions on Catholic participation in British public life. In the United States it would take the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 and that tedious "Going My Way" playing every freaking December for true anti-Catholicism (as opposed to anti-Pelagianism, for which it is often mistaken) to stop being a thing, except among certain fundamentalist Protestants, most progressives, and Catholic theologians with degrees from Villanova or Boston College.
What About the Guy Fawkes Mask?
But what about the mask, you ask? Well, that has its origins in the tradition of Bonfire Night, when Brits burned effigies of Fawkes in, wait for it, bonfires, a celebration of thanksgiving for the averted catastrophe. Paul V was burned in effigy as well, but masks of the pope drew only blank stares or the occasional "How's the veal piccata tonight?"
The Fawkes mask famously entered modern popular culture in 1982, when episodes of what would become the graphic novel "V for Vendetta" began surfacing. In it, a dystopian 1990s Britain, devastated by fallout from nuclear war and controlled by the fascist Norsefire party, is threatened further by a revolutionary wearing a Fawkes mask.
A combination Zorro, Batman, and Christopher Hitchens, the hero known only as "V" teams up with a young woman who had been wasting away in a government prison. Together they manage actually to blow up Parliament (and by "actually" I mean like in a giant cartoon), which at the very least saved poor Muslims from further persecution by the Church of England, demonstrating how lacking in prescience some comic book writers really are.
The Fawkes legend remained pungent. In 2003, inchoate groups of social-justice-warrior anarchist computer hackers, going by the name Anonymous, presented themselves to the public behind the facial firewall of the Guy Fawkes mask, which had by this time, owing primarily to V's legacy, become the symbol of resistance to all forms of property rights. The groups' motto, "We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us," has also been claimed by several public-sector trade unions (but not, interestingly enough, by the U.S. Postal Service).
When in 2011 the Occupy movement began urinating in public to protest people who had more than them, Fawkes masks could be seen in abundance, if for no other reason than they were less expensive than a Caramel Brulée Frappuccino at Starbucks and peeing there. (Also, such proximity to propaganda in the form of employment applications was deemed hazardous to the cause.)
Religious Folks Believe They Are Masks
So there we have it: the drive for a Catholic confessional state that would have made things very difficult for non-Catholics of every stripe became the symbol for resistance to oppression everywhere. Don't tell me History doesn't have a sense of humor, because, well, season two of "True Detective."
Fawkes would no doubt be amused by the uses to which his visage have been put, were he not as dead as the iPod Touch. (Then again, he might be outraged or encouraged. Frankly, I never met the man and so can only speculate. In 1891, the bivalve brass speculum was patented, brass being an alloy of zinc and copper, copper also being the constituent property of the eight-pointed badges worn by New York City police in the 1800s. The nineteenth century was big on copper. It should be obvious by now that I have no idea where I'm going with this.)
Masks themselves have an interesting history that I have no intention of exploring here because it no longer seems as interesting as when I first started this sentence. They also bear a theological signification, dating back to the Reformation era, which gave rise to the confessional polemics that drove evangelicals to Smithfield, Calvin to Geneva, Jesuits into priest holes, and Anabaptists to the river.
Über-Reformer Martin Luther believed that the deus absconditus, the hidden God, revealed himself via the masks he wore in the world as Christians applied themselves in their daily vocations. So God still heals, but wearing the "mask" of the human physician. God still rules the civil realm, but hidden behind duly appointed human authorities.
God still sues orthodox Anglicans out of house and home, but for $600 an hour. So when your corporate e-mail account is hacked by a Fawkes-masked intruder, assume either it is God telling you to get into another racket or that all metaphors break down at some point.
Guy "Guido" Fawkes remains the patron saint of demolition derbies and unemployable neo-hippies.
*Fun fact: By the time of the Gunpowder Plot, Guy had taken the name Guido, an Italianization of his name, reflecting his Romeward affinities and taste in suits. That he was also known in underground circles as Sal from Astoria has been a matter of some controversy, mostly among sports-radio types. A Guido in today's parlance, however, is more than likely still living with his mother and wearing one of those athletic, sleeveless T-shirts for which there are several rude names. By the way, I can make those kinds of jokes, so save it.
**The rumor that this was the inspiration for the Pez dispenser is unfounded.

Fig Tree Leaf Identification
By: Elton Dunn
fig leaf image by Tomislav from Fotolia.com
Fig trees provide sweet fresh fruit that you can eat fresh, roast, dry or cook into jams and chutneys. Figs have a sweet taste and gritty texture; they pair well with cheese and other savory foods. Identify fig trees by their leaves, which have been an iconic symbol since the Bible story of Adam and Eve covering their nudity with the leaves of this tree.
Fig leaves are bright green in color. The leaves are hairy, with the top of the leaves having a coarser hair than the underside of the leaves.
Fig leaves can grow up to 12 inches long. The leaves have three to seven main lobes; each lobe has one vein that connects to the center of the fig leaf.

Fig leaves can have jagged or wavy edges; some varieties have narrow teeth. They are staggered on the branch in an alternating arrangement.
figs image by Tomislav from Fotolia.com
Fig trees are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves in the fall and have a dormant period over the winter, before new leaves appear. According to Arizona Cooperative Extension of Mohave County, a fig tree's leaves naturally yellow in the late fall before dropping. If a fig tree's leaves turn yellow before fall, this may mean the tree is not getting enough water.
Tree Size
Fig trees tend to be small and shrubby. They average 10 to 30 feet in height but can grow up to 50 feet.
Fig leaves can have jagged or wavy edges; some varieties have narrow teeth.
Fig trees are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves in the fall and have a dormant period over the winter, before new leaves appear.
In both the spring and fall, fig trees bear fruits. The fruits grow along the branches and can often be found at the base of the leaf stems. Figs vary in color from white or green to black or deep purple. If you find figs growing, you're certainly looking at a fig tree.
Fig trees perform best in a temperate climate. Native to the Mediterranean region, figs grow throughout Asia, South America and the warmer southern states in North America. Expect to find fig trees in California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama and as far north as Virginia.

Congress aims to increase soil carbon
National Association of Wheat Growers,
Agri-Pulse: Look to the Soil, Committee Told
House lawmakers who are searching for ways farmers can help address climate change are focusing on the potential benefits of increasing soil carbon. "Soils store two to three times more CO2 than the atmosphere and two to five times more carbon than that stored in vegetation," Jennifer Moore-Kucera, a climate expert with American Farmland Trust, told the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis at a hearing. Former National Corn Growers Association President Fred Yoder said improving soil health benefits the environment and the grower. Another witness, Tina Owens, director of agriculture at Danone North America, put it this way after the hearing: "Soil health is central to climate change mitigation." But the witnesses and panel members also emphasized the need for reliable metrics to accurately measure reductions in ag emissions of nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide.
What's next: A House committee that's focused on climate change issues is accepting comments until Nov. 22 to help it craft recommendations for Congress by March. Asked after the hearing how large a role agriculture would play in those recommendations, committee chair Kathy Castor of Florida said, "Stay tuned."

Lawyer Watch
Research and Commentary on the Legal Professions from Richard Moorhead
Press and news links
Predatory Partners? Whoops, I did it again.
October 12, 2018 ~ Richard Moorhead
On September 2nd, 1994 the Chicago Tribune ran a story about a $7.1m award against the World's largest law firm then (Baker & McKenzie). The story is here but you can't read it from Europe because, I guess, the paper can't cope GDPR. It related to, "one of its top former partners who allegedly sexually harassed at least eight women while the firm failed to intervene." This, again it is alleged, because, "he was such a money-maker." It transpires also, they say, that, "Greenstein was forced out of the firm in October 1993 for an unrelated charge of "serious professional misconduct" that had to do with alleged backdating of legal documents. He now has his own practice in San Jose."
I mention this because the same firm* is in the news again (see pic and story here) for accusations of a sexual assault in 2012 and an investigation that has revealed, as yet unspecified, 'shortcomings' in the way this case was dealt with. It's a salutary reminder that this is a problem that is neither new, nor newly exposed, that firms really may not have learnt from their mistakes, and that concerted action and eternal vigilance remains necessary. In the mean time the Law Society has promised action. If you read that LegalFutures story, note the way in which the Law Society President says about the employers at the end. Whether this is a sensible recognition that employers need to take these issues seriously (and lawyers can lead on this) or that the Law Society will push responsibility away from the lawyer and back on the client remains to be seen. A lot will hang on the promised guidance to law firms. Let's hope they do a better job of this than they did on business and human rights. There they watered down the IBA's guidance, itself a set of compromises with powerful interests. It will be interesting too to see how their guidance fits with the SRA's warning notice in the area and anything further they do. That they promise to deal with clients not understanding NDAs through producing a leaflet suggests to me that this is more of a rearguard than it should be. It smacks of a tactic right out of the something (ineffective) must be done school of thought.
