Hemisphere Occidental ou du Nouveau Monde . . ....
Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville
Hemisphere Occidental ou du Nouveau Monde . . . [and] Hemisphere Oriental ou de L'Ancien Monde . . . MDCCLXI
Paris / 1761
23.5 x 25.5 inches (each)
First State of An Important Enlightenment Era Mapping of the World
Marvelous pair of large scale maps of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, showing the known World on the eve of the first Voyage of Captain James Cook.
The map is a fine example of D'Anville enlightenment style, executing the work in a disciplined manner, so there is virtually no conjecture or myth in the details given in the two maps.
The cartographic detail represents the end of an era that was in fact filled with speculation, myth and misconception.
The River of the West (R. courant a l'Ouest) is shown with a dashed line from Lake Ouinipigon (Winnipeg), illustrating its dubious existence, one of the last attempts to show a water course across North America. Further east, D'Anville shows only the hope that a portage might connect Hudson's Bay with Lake Winnipeg.
In the Northwest, a massive speculative peninsula reaches out from the unknown regions which would become Russian Alaska, approximating the Aleutian Islands on a massive basis, based upon the earliest reports of Russian exploration then being received from Joseph Nicolas De L'Isle and Gerhard Friedrich Muller, reporting from St. Petersburg.
Along the Northwest coast, and outline of the coastline is forming, with notes showing Tchirikow's coastline, along with the imaginary Coast of Admiral de Fonte and the Straits of Juan de Fuca. San Francisco has not yet been discovered, but Drake's Bay and other place names in California are present.
In the middle of the North American continent, the Missouri is shown extending nearly to the Big Bend. Five Great Lakes are illustrated. And the relative courses of the Colorado River and Rio Grande are beginning to take shape. Baja California is well projected for the period.
Further south, New Zealand is shown with a single coastline based upon Tasman's map. Straits of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego and the southern Chilean coastlines are still largely unknown, with no sign of land in the Antarctic Regions.
Eastern Hemisphere
The most noteworthy feature is still largely undiscovered south and east coasts of Australia, where a detached Van Diemen's Land floats southeast of the main continent.
The shape of Philippines is starting to come together, but is still not well defined.
Sincapura is named, but the Strait is still poorly defined, while no sign of Hong Kong exists.
Africa is still largely unexplored in its interior.
The Arabian Peninsula is still virtually uncharted, except on its Red Sea and southern coastlines.
Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville Biography
Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (1697-1782) was one of the foremost French geographers of the eighteenth century. He carried out rigorous research in order to create his maps, which greatly developed the technical proficiency of mapmaking during his lifetime. His style was also simpler and less ornate than that of many of his predecessors. It was widely adopted by his contemporaries and successors.
The son of a tailor, d'Anville showed cartographic prowess from a young age; his first map, of Ancient Greece, was published when he was only fifteen years old. By twenty-two, he was appointed as one of the King's géographes ordinaire de roi. He tutored the young Louis XV while in the service to the Crown. However, royal appointment did not pay all the bills, so d'Anville also did some work for the Portuguese Crown from 1724. For example, he helped to fill out Dom João V's library with geographical works and made maps showing Portugal's African colonies.
D'Anville disapproved of merely copying features from other maps, preferring instead to return to the texts upon which those maps were based to make his own depictions. This led him to embrace blank spaces for unknown areas and to reject names which were not supported by other sources. He also amassed a large personal map library and created a network of sources that included Jesuits in China and savants in Brazil. D'Anville's historical approach to cartography resulted in magnificently detailed, yet modern and academic, maps. For example, his 1743 map of Italy improved upon all previous maps and included a memoir laying out his research and innovations. The geographer also specialized in ancient historical geography.
In 1773, d'Anville was named premier géographe de roi. In 1780, he ceded his considerable library to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be used for as a reference library for diplomats. D'Anville is best known for several maps, including his map of China, first published in 1735, and then included with Du Halde's history of that country (the Hague, 1737). His map of Africa (1749) was used well into the nineteenth century.

The ex-pros were teammates in a Venezuelan league.
Former Major League Baseball infielders Luis Valbuena and Jose Castillo died in a car accident Thursday in Venezuela, The Orange County Register reported.
Valbuena and Castillo's untimely deaths were later confirmed on Twitter Friday morning by a spokesperson for their current Venezuelan team, the Cardenales de Lara.
According to the Register, the two former pros were in a car driven by teammate Carlos Rivero after a Thursday night game when it hit a rock and careened off the road in the state of Yarucuy.
Valbuena, 33, played in the majors from 2008 to 2018, most recently appearing in 96 games for the Los Angeles Angels last season before the team released him in August. Castillo, 37, debuted in the majors in 2004 and played four seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros.

Congress defies Trump on huge cuts to science
By Rebecca Trager2017-05-10T07:33:00+01:00
Capitol Hill delivers reprieve for US science agencies that faced significant and immediate cuts under a White House proposal
The US Congress has reversed course on budget cuts slated to hit American science agencies. The House and Senate have produced an omnibus spending package to fund the rest of fiscal year 2017, which ends on 30 September. The legislation, signed into law by Trump on 5 May, rejected the cuts proposed by the president in March, instead increasing federal R&D by 5% above the 2016 levels, according to estimates by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Trump's plan had included a $1.2 billion (£930 million) reduction for the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a $350 million decrease for the National Science Foundation (NSF). By comparison, the final spending package provides a $2 billion increase to the NIH, which represents a rise of more than 6%, and a considerably more modest $9 million boost to the NSF. The budget of the Department of Energy's Office of Science will rise by 0.8% over current levels, whereas Trump had proposed to slash that office's funding by $37 million.
The finalised budget also increases or maintains funding for areas like climate research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa). It provides Noaa's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research with a 6.7% budget increase and prioritises its weather and air chemistry research programmes, among others.
Climate research at Noaa, which was targeted for a 19% cut, will instead see flat funding, according to the AAAS. The AAAS also notes that funding for Nasa's earth sciences programmes remains unchanged despite a proposed cut of $231 million, or 12%.
Given the funding levels in the House and Senate proposals, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology describes the approved spending package as the best-case scenario the US research community could have expected. The House had proposed a $1.25 billion increase for the NIH and a $45 million increase for the NSF, while the Senate had proposed a $2 billion increase for NIH and a $57 million cut for the NSF.
These developments indicate that Congress is willing to push back against the Trump administration's plans, and the AAAS argues that this should give science advocates reason for optimism. Other observers agree. 'A new administration could certainly influence some of the funding outcomes, but Congress would have to make a 180 degree turn on a lot of these areas to fit with the Trump administration's approach, and that doesn't seem particularly likely,' says Matt Hourihan, director of R&D budget and policy analysis for AAAS. 'Congress has asserted itself this time around, and the odds are pretty good that they will reassert themselves again next time.'

TrackDay FAQ | FTLapps, Inc.
TrackDay Pro and TrackDay for iPhone are designed to be intuitive and easy to use. But, users still have a lot of good questions. If you don't see the answer you need here, contact us at trackday@ftlapps.com or www.facebook.com/FTLapps, and we'll get back to you ASAP! Also, feature and track requests are welcome!
Q: Do the TrackDay apps work on tracks around the world?
A: Yes! TrackDay Pro and TrackDay for iPhone work anywhere in the world using the "Learn" button — just run two or more laps, and it'll figure out the rest. The "Learn" option is included with the Pro edition, and available as an in-app purchase in the iPhone edition. (A high-quality GPS signal will yield the best results.) Our Pro edition also features over 200+ predefined tracks around the world that you can download for FREE.
And, if you'd like us to add a track, just send us the track name, link to their webpage, Trackpedia or Wikipedia page, or GPS location — anything that points us to what you want added. As long as Google's (iOS 5) or Apple's (iOS 7) satellite imagery shows the track clearly, we can usually add it for you within an hour or two!
Q: OK, I have the app. Now, how do I get started?
Touch the "Options" button on the bottom-right and change the settings for Units, Group and Vehicle to your preferences. Optionally, add information for the vehicle you'll take on the track. Email is currently used by the app to populate the "To:" address of tracks (Pro edition, only), sessions and lap times that you export from the app. Please feel free to send us your sessions and lap times, or update the email address for your own purposes.
Back on the main screen, touch the "Tracks" button to display a list of the tracks available in TrackDay. TrackDay Pro owners have free access to every track and Track Pack included in the FTLapps Track Store. For TrackDay for iPhone owners, the majority of the tracks in the Track Store may be purchased for $0.99, while, for a limited time, recently added tracks are available as free downloads. Track Packs, bundles of tracks for different groups, are generally available for about half the cost of purchasing the same tracks individually.
Download or purchase the track that you'll be on next, and touch "Sessions" to take a look at the "Track" screen. Touch points on the raceline to see speeds and change in velocity along the raceline. Two finger touch and other standard gestures can also be used to adjust the position and scale of the view.
From the "Track" screen, at the track before you head out of the paddock, touch "Start" to begin capturing GPS samples. Once you're back in the paddock, touch "Stop" to end the capture process. Within a second or two, the app will complete computation and storage of your session data. Touch "Sessions" to see the top speed and best lap time for that session. From that list, touch the new session to display the GPS data. Then touch the "Laps" button to see the lap times for all the laps in that session.
Alternatively, for $2.99 TrackDay for iPhone owners can add the "Learn" option — this option is included with TrackDay Pro. Touch the "Learn" button, enter the name of "the track," press "Start" and run a few laps, then press "Stop." With two laps or more, the app will have the data it needs to compute the start/finish location, raceline, pit out and pit-in. This feature can be used anywhere — but please make sure to follow the rules of the road and stay safe!
TrackDay Pro owners can also "create" their own tracks using the built-in track editor. For more information, take a look at the tutorial included on our TrackDay Pro Track Editor page.
Check out the rest of the Q&A. If you still have a question about the TrackDay apps when you hit the end of this list, just let us know!
Q: I have an iPhone 5 / have upgraded to iOS 6, will the TrackDay apps still work properly?
The Track Editor depends on high-resolution satellite imagery with ultra-high-performance map tile caching. Google Maps satellite imagery available with iOS 5 is extremely detailed for over 95% of the tracks around the world (of the over 120 tracks we've sampled, only four have had data that was insufficient for our application) — as of our latest test (December 2012) the capability offered in iOS 6 does not appear to be as robust. We also found the lack of tile caching performance to be a serious problem.
On the track, iOS 6 has produced reasonably accurate GPS location data, but seems to suffer from two problems: 1) The iOS 6 location services appear to be extrapolating location from the last known position and velocity — if the GPS signal is lost in a turn, this extrapolation may introduce fairly serious location errors. We may be able to mitigate this problem in a future release, but as of the 2.2 release, with iOS 6, it's more important than ever to have a high-quality GPS signal in order to produce accurate session results. 2) With iOS 6, the map view displayed by the app is now dependent on map tile data from Apple's servers — early test results suggest that map tile updates may be degrading app performance. Modifications to mitigate this problem are planned for our 3.0 release.
Q: I just updated to the latest version of the app, but it still has an old track. What's going on?
A: The track data and your sessions are completely independent of the app version. You can get our latest track updates from the FTLapps Track Store: Touch the "Tracks" button, then touch "Refresh" to ensure the list reflects the latest set of tracks and any price changes (for TrackDay for iPhone). Then, scroll down into the Track Store section of the list until you spot the desired track. If an update is available, it will show "Update" on the right side of the list. Touch the list item and it'll open the Track Store page. From there, touch the "Update" button to get the latest changes!
Q: It is impossible to start the session with gloves on, and impossible to stop when you are going that fast down the straightaway — how am I suppose to use the app without "Auto Session Start"?
A: The expectation we have is that while in the paddock (before putting on your gloves), from the Track screen, you'll press "Start" — then, put on your gloves, head to the grid, and from there, out onto the track. At the end of the session, after you have the bike on stands (or the kick-stand), turned off, and your gloves off, then you'll press "Stop" — the app will compute for a second or two, and your lap times will then be available by touching the "Laps" button.
Please don't attempt to interact with the app in any way while you're out on the track!
Q: When I go to the Track screen to start a session, I just see a message that says something about "location services" — what gives?
A: If you haven't already, snag the latest version of the app; 2.0 and higher have a clearer message.
The message indicates that you have not enabled location services for the app. It's a one-shot deal; if you didn't give the app access to your location the first time the iPhone displayed the message '"TrackDay for iPhone" Would Like To Use Your Current Location', iOS will never ask again. All the app can do from there is to let you know that the setting needs to be changed.
To fix the problem, use the Settings app, touch "Location Services" then scroll down to "TrackDay for iPhone". You'll see that it shows "OFF"… Switch it to "ON" and you should be good to go!
Q: My session results are erratic, sometimes stopping in the middle of a session — what's up?
A: In theory, "Auto Session Start" is a terrific idea. In practice, there are a variety of serious problems with the capability — it's nearly impossible to predict the minimum speed that should be used as a threshold; too low, and you might as well use the manual start/stop, too high, and you'll miss the pit-out feature before turning on GPS tracking — run-offs (slowing or stopping briefly on the side of the track) will typically generate a break in the session. For these reasons, in the 2.0 release, we defaulted the option to "OFF." In the 2.3 release, we removed the Auto-Start capability entirely.
If you're not using the 2.3 release, you should update before heading to the track. If you're still not getting the results you expected, send a session or two to us at trackday@ftlapps.com and we'll take a look!
Q: My lap times are erratic, and don't seem to match the actual laps I rode. How can I fix this?
A: In 2.0 and prior versions of the TrackDay apps, to ensure that laps are accurately captured, the GPS position (even one that is far away from the track) is clamped to the closest position on the track. Then, that motion from one moment to the next is used to capture start-finish crossings. If you're capturing sessions at a track where the start-finish is immediately adjacent to the paddock area, the lap calculation may pick up movement in the paddock that happens to cause the clamped GPS position to move back and forth across the start finish. In the 2.1 release, we tuned this behavior (clamping is limited to the horizontal accuracy of the GPS sample — only points "close" to the track are forced onto the raceline). Move the start-finish feature a bit and reselect the session to recompute the lap times.
If that doesn't do it for you, send your sessions to us at trackday@ftlapps.com and we'll be happy to take a look! Your feedback will help us to improve future versions of TrackDay Pro and TrackDay for iPhone.
Q: Why would I want to change the Start-Finish, Pit-Out or Pit-In features at all?
A: Much of our track portfolio has been developed using Google Maps satellite footage. Although the raceline and feature positions are generally very accurate, the variation in GPS position recording in your sessions, even with high accuracy, will sometimes result in missing Pit-In, Pit-Out, or hitting them while still on the raceline. With the 2.0 release, you can now make immediate adjustments at the track, and see the corrected results for each of your sessions.
Q: How do I adjust the Start-Finish feature?
A: To move a "feature" on the Track screen, touch the "three circle" button ("Feature Edit" toggle, available in 2.0 and higher) and it'll light up red. Now, you can touch the start-finish feature to select. Then, touch-drag to move it. When you've repositioned it successfully, just touch the "Feature Edit" toggle button again to ensure future touches don't modify the start-finish, pit-in or pit-out accidentally.
Q: I want to create my own tracks using TrackDay Pro; how do I get started?
A: A complete tutorial on the built-in track editor is included on our TrackDay Pro Track Editor page.
Q: I used the "Learn" feature to create my own track, but now I want to download yours. How do I move the sessions from "my track" to yours?
Tada! It's a lot of steps… but within the app, you should find that the process is pretty straightforward.
Q: My question isn't here… what now?
A: Email us at trackday@ftlapps.com or contact us at www.facebook.com/FTLapps! We've already received lots of great questions and ideas from our extended TrackDay team — please join us in making the TrackDay apps even better!
That's typically a sign that the GPS data isn't crossing the region defined as the start-finish line. On the Track view, select your session, and look carefully at the black/white checkered circle. If the lap traces are passing it by, that's the problem. Touch the "Feature" button at the bottom of the screen. Touch the black/white checkered circle, and touch-drag it or resize with the slider to intersect with the lap traces.
You're also welcome to send the session to us via email to trackday at ftlapps.com (just touch the "Action" button on the Track screen, then touch "Export All Sessions" — or select a session and touch the "Action" button and "Export This Session".) — we'll take a look, and should be able to tell you exactly what's up. Also, if there is any problem with the app, we can use your data to understand what went wrong and fix it for you, and everyone else!
Hi there. I was hoping to record a track day and wanted to overlay data onto the video clip using a Go Pro. I understand that I can use the render to do this but wanted to know weather I can export your data from this app into it..
What file format does this app use?? CSV, GPX????
TrackDay Pro will export a CSV-formatted copy of your session data (from the Track screen, select a session, then touch the Action button and select "Export RAW GPS Data"). If you're using TrackDay for iPhone, the feature isn't currently available — but we are considering releasing a "bundle" that'll make it easy / cost-effective to upgrade to the TrackDay Pro edition. If you don't already have the TrackDay Pro edition, contact us at trackday@ftlapps.com.
Thanks for your purchases! On the Options screen, touch the action button on the top-right and select "Restore Purchases." If that doesn't do it for you, let us know!
I have a track session that is listed on the wrong track. I don't want to lose the session, but I need to move it the right track. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks for your help! We absolutely love the app and use it all the time. I can't even think of how many times I have recommended it to people. Everyone who sees us obsessing over it at the track immediately goes to the App Store and downloads it, annoyed because they already missed a session on it.
Thank you for your support, that's awesome to hear!
There's supposed to be a menu option from the Track screen that allows renaming the Session (it's designed to support interaction with the "Learn" option) but testing with the preview of iOS 10 shows that the menu is not displaying properly. We'll need to investigate further. In the meantime, feel free to contact us at trackday @ ftlapps.com — if worse comes to worse, we should be able to alter the export data so that you can import it to your target location.

The Long Hall
Posted on January 24, 2022 February 15, 2022 by albertadugoutstories
Diamond debates and ballot battles are heating up ahead of the National Baseball Hall of Fame announcement about who will be enshrined at Cooperstown.
Many of the Steroid Era's biggest stars – including Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and Major League Baseball's all-time home run leader Barry Bonds – are in their 10th and final year of eligibility via the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) selection process.
Will they finally make the cut or will that decision be left to the Today's Game Era Committee?
Will anyone be voted in? There is a strong possibility that no one will reach the 75% mark, which is the threshold that must be reached for players to be immortalized.
There is also the matter of who will stay on the ballot. Players who are not in their last year on the ballot must receive at least 5% of the vote to stick around for consideration next year.
For our purposes, we typically scan the list of nominees for athletes with ties to Alberta.
This year's group includes a couple of Calgary Cannons, and a former American League (AL) MVP who played briefly for the Edmonton Trappers.
Cannons fans had seen this movie before with Ken Griffey Jr. A can't-miss prospect earmarked for a Triple-A assignment in the Pacific Coast League (PCL) in Calgary, but the player is so darn good that he makes the jump from Double-A to the major leagues, thus denying the Foothills Stadium faithful a glimpse of a future superstar.
Junior did it in 1989 and A-Rod followed suit five years later. The first overall pick played 17 games with the Seattle Mariners in July of 1994, but unlike Griffey Jr., the shortstop wasn't quite ready for Major League Baseball (MLB). So, in August of that year, Rodriguez was sent down and Calgarians got the opportunity to see if he could live up to the hype.
"This kid has all the tools," Cannons manager Steve Smith told Calgary Herald reporter Gyle Konotopetz prior to A-Rod's arrival in Cowtown.
"He's not like some No. 1 picks who are afraid of the pressure … Alex can handle the pressure. He's a unique talent. He's built like (Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal) Ripken, only he has more power than Ripken. He has the range of Ozzie Smith."
Smith had scouted Rodriguez in high school and worked with him in the instructional league, so he looked forward to seeing him up close again.
"He makes some of the greatest plays you've ever seen," noted Smith.
Calgary Herald profile of Alex Rodriguez from early August of 1994.
When he arrived in Calgary, Rodriguez dismissed any comparison to Ripken.
"Cal is one of my favourite players, so it's an insult to Cal to be compared to me," A-Rod told the Herald.
"He's proven himself. I haven't. It's not a fair comparison."
Rodriguez also revealed that one of the best experiences of his MLB time to that point was meeting Ripken at the Kingdome in Seattle. Ripken left a note asking to meet him by the batting cage and the two shortstops talked for an hour, with the veteran player offering some advice to the prodigy.
"Cal said, get your sleep, eat well and take care of your body. You can't feed your body bad gas," he shared with Konotopetz.
Rodriguez, who lived in the Dominican Republic until he was eight years old before going to live with his mother Lourdes in Miami, was forthcoming about his troubled relationship with his father, Victor, as well.
"I don't want anything to do with my dad," he told the Herald.
"I don't know what he does. He wasn't there when I needed him so it has made me realized what a good father I want to be one day. My mom raised me. I want to do whatever I can so she can have a happy and peaceful life. My mom taught me to respect my elders and be careful."
He later made attempts to reconcile with his father.
In the wide-ranging newspaper interview, Rodriguez also mentioned how he used fear as a motivator to break through in the majors.
"I was always scared of not being good enough … sometimes, fear is good. It scares me not to be the best," he said.
Rodriguez certainly looked at his best in Calgary. In 32 games with the Cannons, he batted .311 with six homers, 21 runs batted in (RBI), 22 runs and two stolen bases.
From there, he went on to have a remarkable MLB career that included a trio of Most Valuable Player awards, a World Series title in 2009, 14 All-Star nods, 10 Silver Slugger Awards and two Gold Glove Awards.
During his 22 years with the Mariners, Texas Rangers and New York Yankees, Rodriguez batted .295, belted 696 long balls, stole 329 bases and amassed 2,086 RBI.
This is his first year on the ballot, but his admission that he used steroids will hurt his case.
Another Gold Glove-winning, All-Star shortstop who put in time with the Cannons and is hoping to earn a plaque in Cooperstown is Omar Vizquel.
The Venezuelan is in his fifth year of eligibility before the BBWAA voters.
Renowned for his defensive abilities between second and third base, Vizquel claimed 11 Gold Gloves in 24 MLB seasons. At the plate, he punched through 2,877 hits and swiped 404 bases. The knock on him, however, is the power numbers. Vizquel only hit 80 career home runs and produced a .352 slugging percentage. His bat was respectable, but rarely considered lethal.
Vizquel prepares to throw to first base as a member of the Calgary Cannons.
He spent much more time in Calgary than A-Rod did, logging 94 games for the Cannons between 1988 and 1992 as he split time between the PCL and the Mariners.
"He never had a real strong arm, like some shortstops did," Cannons owner Russ Parker told Alberta Dugout Stories.
"He could make plays so effortless, a lot of it because he could read the ball coming off the bat so well. Everything was just so fluid … he'll be remembered as one of the best defensive shortstops in the game."
We'll see if there's enough love for Vizquel's glove to punch his ticket this year.
JUSTIN MORNEAU
The Canadian first baseman was here for a good time, not a long time.
With the Edmonton Trappers chasing down the PCL championship in 2002, their postseason pursuit took a hit when Michael Cuddyer was called up to the Minnesota Twins.
Enter Justin Morneau, who batted .298 with 16 bombs and 80 RBI in 126 Double-A games for the New Britain Rock Cats that season.
"I'm excited to be here," Morneau told Edmonton Journal reporter Norm Cowley of joining the Trapper lineup for their PCL semi-final matchup against the Las Vegas 51s.
"It's always fun to be playing in the playoffs. It's a chance to get a ring, especially with this group of guys. We've got a good team."
Morneau – who was the third-string goalie for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL) as a 16-year-old – said it was "baseball in the summer and hockey in the winter" when he was growing up.
"I liked them both. It didn't really matter, just one after the other," he told the Journal of his journey, which conjured up memories of Kirk McCaskill, another Trapper alumni who played hockey at a high level.
"I found out I was a little better in baseball than I was in hockey. Hopefully, I picked the right one."
The New Westminster, B.C. native also had success playing in Alberta before. Morneau won back-to-back midget baseball championship titles in Red Deer as a teenager.
Of course, the stakes were a bit higher in professional baseball.
After the Trappers dispatched Las Vegas, they faced the Salt Lake Stingers in the final and Morneau made an impact.
The 21-year-old smacked four hits – including a two-run double with two outs in the fifth inning – to lead the offensive attack in Game 3, which was a 6-4 Edmonton victory that gave them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
Morneau went 0-for-4 and grounded into a double play late in the opening game of the championship series and was eager to make up for it.
"I wanted to do something tonight," he told the Edmonton newspaper after Game 3, which was played in front of 7,198 fans at Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City.
The third-round draft pick said he was "over-anxious" and "trying to do too much" early in the series.
"In the first game, I was trying to hit a home run every time I was up there and I was just missing," he said.
"I was hitting balls off the end of the bat. If I was more relaxed and just tried to stay with my approach, better things would've happened."
Morneau conceded his performance in the third game was somewhat fortunate.
"I didn't hit the ball off the good part of the bat all night but it fell in so I got a little bit lucky … it's not always how hard you hit it but where you hit it."
The Trappers closed out the series, and their fourth PCL championship title, with a 10-7 road win on Sept. 14th. Morneau had a .400 batting average in his five playoff contests.
From there, Morneau learned that he did indeed choose the right sport to focus his time and effort on. With the Minnesota Twins, he was a four-time All-Star, a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner and he was named the AL MVP in 2006. When he joined the Colorado Rockies in 2014, his .319 average added the title of National League (NL) batting champion to his resume.
Morneau is already a member of the Twins Hall of Fame and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. That said, he'll be in tough to remain on the National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot past his first year.
JUST VISITING
Among the 30 names on this year's ballot, a number of them stand out for their time in the visiting dugouts of Alberta.
Gary Sheffield came to Medicine Hat's Athletic Park in 1986 to face the Blue Jays as a member of the Helena Gold Sox. He tormented Pioneer League pitchers that year. In 57 games, the first-rounder smashed 15 homers, contributed 71 RBI, batted .365 and stole 14 bases.
Sheffield celebrates a home run off of the Medicine Hat Blue Jays in this Aug. 1, 1986 photo from The Independent Record newspaper.
Prince Fielder also squared off against the Baby Jays in the team's final season in the Pioneer League. The first baseman played 41 games for the Ogden Raptors in 2002, where he blasted 10 long balls, hit at a .390 clip, and registered 40 RBI before the Milwaukee Brewers promoted him to the Single-A level. A July matchup between Medicine Hat and the Raptors in Ogden saw Fielder go yard and later end up in the middle of a bench-clearing brawl between the two clubs.
The Pacific Coast League provided even more opportunities for Alberta baseball fans to scout future Hall of Fame candidates.
Bobby Abreu, Curt Schilling and Billy Wagner all suited up for the Tucson Toros in the 1990s.
Wagner was brilliant in a late-August 1995 start at Telus Field in Edmonton. In front of a capacity crowd of 9,200, the lefty pitched eight shutout innings, struck out nine batters and collected the win in a 2-0 triumph over the Trappers.
It was an emotional year for Wagner, who was coping with the murder of his father-in-law, Steve Quesenberry and Steve's wife, Tina. Wagner made his MLB debut on Sept. 13th with the Houston Astros, but the family tragedy had placed a dark cloud over what is normally such a moment of unbridled excitement.
He discussed the situation with Journal reporter Robin Brownlee when he returned to Edmonton in 1996 as a starting pitcher with the Toros.
"I think I've always taken the game for what it is," said Wagner.
"You go out and you work hard and you hope to make it some day. But, at the end of the day, you take off the uniform and there's more to life."
Added Wagner: "I guess everybody has things in their life to overcome … maybe I've had a little more than some … it's been a lot of hard work, but you get through, you know."
SALT LAKE STARS
There were other star players and other stories that made their way to Calgary and Edmonton via the PCL.
David Ortiz, A.J. Pierzynski, and Torii Hunter were teammates with the Salt Lake Buzz in the late 1990s.
Big Papi, who launched stitched balls far into the night sky in Alberta, came close to suiting up for both the Cannons and Trappers, had fate not intervened during the course of his career.
The Vancouver Canadians sent Sammy Sosa into Wild Rose Country in 1991. After being demoted by the Chicago White Sox that year, Sosa ventured into Foothills Stadium to take on Tino Martinez and the Cannons.
Tim Hudson, meanwhile, made eight starts for the Canadians in 1999. One of those outings was a 12-strikeout performance against the Trappers at Vancouver's Nat Bailey Stadium. During his time with the Canadians, Hudson pitched 49 innings, K'ed 61 batters, and posted a 2.20 ERA while going 4-0.
Tim Hudson, the Calgary Cannons and 99-cent hot dogs! This Vancouver Canadians ad in the May 26, 1999 edition of The Province newspaper is too good to be true.
Todd Helton played 120 games for the Colorado Spring Sky Sox in 1996 and 1997.
When he came to Telus Field in April of 1997, Sky Sox skipper Paul Zuvella heaped praise on the first baseman.
"He's simply a manager's dream," Zuvella told Brownlee.
"Is he the whole package? I would say he is. He's an athlete through and through."
On the cusp of a 17-year MLB career with the Colorado Rockies, Helton was trying to remain patient about his path ahead.
"Sometimes it can be difficult being down here when I see people I played with or against at school in the big leagues now," he told the Journal.
"I just have to prove myself and wait for my turn … it's a matter of waiting and, hopefully, getting a chance."
Joe Nathan, who closed out 377 MLB games, was a starting pitcher with the Fresno Grizzlies of the PCL between 1999 and 2002. His stops in Alberta and elsewhere on the PCL circuit ultimately helped Nathan hone his skills as an elite closer.
BONDING MOMENTS
There was also that Barry Bonds guy. In just his second year of professional baseball, Bonds cracked the Pittsburgh Pirates lineup in 1986. But before he got there, the outfielder played 44 games for the Hawaii Islanders at Triple-A.
In 148 PCL at bats that season, Bonds hit seven homers, drove in 37 runs, scored 30 runs, stole 16 bases, and recorded a .311 batting average.
The Calgary Cannons were among the teams he victimized.
Bonds hit a ninth-inning, grand slam off of pitcher Vic Martin during an early May 18-8 Islanders beatdown of the Cannons at Foothills Stadium in front of 3,110 spectators.
"I've never seen it this cold before," Bonds told Calgary Herald reporter Daryl Slade.
"We were just trying to get loose, because we've been playing in warm places until we got here."
Bonds hit a bases-clearing triple the next game, a 9-6 win for Hawaii, to help boost his RBI total to 10 in two games against Calgary.
Barry Bonds, 44 games with Hawaii Islanders in 1986 and 113 with the Pirates that year. Hit grand slam against Cannons, racked up RBI.
When he traveled up the road to Edmonton, Bonds was asked about his father, Bobby, who was a stellar outfielder with the San Francisco Giants.
"My father is my father. That's never going to change," he told Cowley of the Journal.
"It (comparisons) is going to happen, but there's nothing I can do about it because I'm completely different. I do things from a different side."
Bonds also expressed excitement about playing the game he loves.
"I wanted to do everything when I was little, but I wanted to play baseball more than anything else," he said.
"I just want to play. I don't try to get my hopes up too high. I just try and do good when I play."
Trapper manager Winston Llenas was quick to spot the differences between Barry and Bobby Bonds.
"I know he's going to be his own player … his own self," Llenas told the newspaper.
"He's got good enough tools that if he makes it to the big leagues it'll be because of him – not his father."
Frank Reberger, Edmonton's pitching coach, played with the senior Bonds in San Francisco.
"It's kind of exciting to see one of my old teammates' sons with a chance to play in the big leagues for a long time," said Reberger in the Journal.
"They are both very likeable people."
Will the BBWAA find Bonds likeable enough to put him into the National Baseball Hall of Fame? We'll find out on Tuesday, Jan. 25th when the voting results are announced.

DigitalCommons@Lesley - Lesley University Community of Scholars Day: Supporting our Students: Response to Intervention Implementation in Massachusetts.
Supporting our Students: Response to Intervention Implementation in Massachusetts.
Many educators grapple with providing effective prevention and safety nets for students. This session draws upon a Lesley University Russel Research Project designed to identify exemplar programs, practices, or structures for implementation of the Massachusetts' Multi-tiered Systems for Support, with particular emphasis on Response to Intervention. The findings are derived from survey data collected from current in-service literacy educators, with follow-up interviews and observations conducted in school settings.
The question driving this research is as follows: How do districts, schools, or individual teachers organize and carry out programs or practices according to the guidelines of Massachusetts' Multi-tiered Systems of Support including enactment of the Response to Intervention state framework? According to the responders: What organizational structures, programs, or practices are most effective in terms of advancing outcomes for students?
The objective of this research is to identify practices and/or organizational structures within school settings that may serve as exemplars of best practices. It is the expectation that districts or schools within districts will demonstrate programmatic or organizational strengths and weaknesses, and with that in mind, the researchers hope to isolate bits and pieces that emerge as exemplars when examining data from a broad sampling of programs or practices that are representative across the state. There is much interest is gleaning information from exemplars of programs, practices, and organizational structures as they exist within the unique contexts of schools and districts.
This presentation will consist of an overview of the findings of the Russell funded research project including an overview of current best practices as shared by participating panelists.

Who would have thought that the origins of the "Republican" Party came from a mid-1800s group of Tea Partiers? The issue which brought disparate groups of people together was the "Kansas-Nebraska Act" which entitled settlers to decide if their state would be free or slave.
Horace Greeley, newspaper magnate, wrote "We should not care much whether those thus united (against slavery) were designated 'Whig,' 'Free Democrat' or something else; though we think some simple name like Republican would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery." (or anything else.) Within several years the American Party or "Know Nothings" joined the Republicans.
So, out of a diverse group of agitated citizens, the Republican Party was born. Currently, some, maybe many, Independents would prefer not to be associated with the "Republican" Party, but might not feel the same way if they knew of the Republican Party's inception. Independents currently use this moniker in my opinion, to let others know that they cannot be "swayed" to any opinion; however, to be truly "independent" would mean that someone is neutral on everything. I've yet to meet one person who falls into that category.

Head down south towards Melaka, dubbed 'The Historical State' of Malaysia. Throughout its long history, Melaka was ruled by the Portuguese, Dutch and British at different period of times, so you'll find that it's filled with colonial relics. One of the highlights is the St. Paul's Church, built on a hill by a Portuguese nobleman in honour of the Virgin Mary. The rustic vibe is perfect for any #ootd shot. Might we suggest a picture in front of the brick wall?

These combinations reflect the need for more rigorous research on the common pathways which these different therapy orientations may be utilizing, and one way to identify these pathways would be to investigate some core assessment tools or conceptual foundations of these two different approaches. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between defense mechanisms and cognitive distortions, and to identify the mediating role of cognitive distortions between defense styles and depression. Methods: A total of 342 female psychiatric outpatients aged 18 and older were recruited. A diagnostic interview and rating of the depression severity were undertaken, and the Cognitive Distortion Scales and the Defense Style Questionnaire were completed by the participants. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to test for the direct and indirect effects of the defense styles. Results Cognitive distortions and defense mechanisms were both correlated with the severity of depression, but the correlations were stronger for the former. Conclusions The findings are suggestive of the mediating effect of cognitive distortions between defense mechanisms and the severity of depression. Comparisons of verbal fluency brain correlates between adults and adolescents suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a pilot study]]> http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0213-61632016000400003&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en Background and Objectives: Prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunctions leading to cognitive deficits refer to a core feature of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). This exploratory study compares the effect of SSD on two stages of maturation of PFC. Methods: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we measured the brain correlates related to a verbal fluency task (a hallmark executive function test) in 12 patients with SSD: 6 adolescents (SSD-ado) and 6 adults (SSD-adu). Results SSD-ado showed greater activation in insula, thalamus and hIP1 whereas SSD-adu recruited more intensively precentral gyrus and temporal pole to resolve the task. Thus, adolescents with SSD seem to adopt less frontal mediated strategic processes. In contrast, adults seem to be able to use PFC mediated strategy despite the well-known deleterious effect of SSD on the PFC. Conclusions This first exploratory study revealed that adults and adolescents with SSD seemed not to use the same strategy to resolve a verbal fluency task. Thus, despite the illness, which is known to have a deleterious influence on PFC, adult patients seem to be able to recruit these resources to perform an executive function task. Further studies are needed in order to confirm and extend these new and preliminary results. Social determinants of mental health: a review of the evidence]]> http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0213-61632016000400004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en Background and Objectives: The aim of this study is to present a non-systematic narrative review of the published evidence on the association between mental health and sociodemographic and economic factors at individual- and at area-level. Methods: A literature search of PubMed and Web of Science was carried out to identify studies published between 2004 and 2014 on the impact of sociodemographic and economic individual or contextual factors on psychiatric symptoms, mental disorders or suicide. The results and methodological factors were extracted from each study. Results Seventy-eight studies assessed associations between individual-level factors and mental health. The main individual factors shown to have a statistically significant independent association with worse mental health were low income, not living with a partner, lack of social support, female gender, low level of education, low income, low socioeconomic status, unemployment, financial strain, and perceived discrimination. Sixty-nine studies reported associations between area-level factors and mental health, namely neighbourhood socioeconomic conditions, social capital, geographical distribution and built environment, neighbourhood problems and ethnic composition. Conclusions Most of the 150 studies included reported associations between at least one sociodemographic or economic characteristic and mental health outcomes. There was large variability between studies concerning methodology, study populations, variables, and mental illness outcomes, making it difficult to draw more than some general qualitative conclusions. This review highlights the importance of social factors in the initiation and maintenance of mental illness and the need for political action and effective interventions to improve the conditions of everyday life in order to improve population's mental health. An ecological study of Hungarian suicide data using complex statistical methods]]> http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0213-61632016000400005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en Background and Objectives: According to a number of psychiatrists, the decrease in the number of suicides can almost exclusively be ascribed to the increasing use of new antidepressants (ADs). Several ecological studies have been carried out to lend support to this claim; unfortunately, many of these started out from either methodologically or statistically flawed assumptions. The purpose of the current study is to demonstrate the examined relationships using complex time-series techniques on Hungarian national sample. Methods: When investigating the relationships between our time series, first we ensured their stationarity using several methods. We used two methods for the analysis involving several independent variables. Results When using dynamic regression to ensure stationarity, the residuals of the suicide and AD time series showed a significant negative correlation. At the same time, when using the more robust technique of time series differentiation, the stationary time series showed no significant relationship between the use of antidepressants and suicide rates. Conclusions The models fitting our data showed somewhat mixed results. The vagueness of ecological models is well demonstrated by the fact that even those sociological variables (number of divorces, alcohol consumption) failed to show a significant relationship with suicides here, which are usually significant in analyses using micro data. Analysis of errors in verbal fluency tasks in patients with chronic schizophrenia]]> http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0213-61632016000400006&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en Background and Objectives: Even if verbal fluency deficits have been described in Schizophrenia, error pattern in this test has not been analyzed in detail in the literature. The pattern analysis of such errors could contribute to the understanding of the factors that influence poor task performance in schizophrenia. In this study we analyzed the intrusion and perseveration errors in verbal fluency tasks in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods: 87 patients diagnosed with Chronic Schizophrenia and 87 healthy controls were included in this investigation and were assessed with four Phonological and Semantic Verbal Fluency tasks. Results The results of this study showed that at least half of schizophrenic patients produced perseverative errors on verbal fluency and about made intrusion errors. The severity of negative symptoms, the severity of Formal Thought Disorder and pharmacological variables were significant moderators to errors in Verbal Fluency performance. Conclusions Errors in Verbal Fluency can be explained by the interaction of different variables in patients with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a psychological pathology with great phenomenological complexity and its particularities can only be explained by the consideration of the multiple factors involved in its manifestation. How the exposure to trauma has hindered physicians' capacity to heal: prevalence of PTSD among healthcare workers]]> http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0213-61632016000400007&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en Background and Objectives: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition affecting individuals exposed to trauma in the past. This article evaluates the prevalence of PTSD in practicing physicians and how it influences work performance. Methods: A review of the literature, followed by data extraction and meta-analysis were performed. Articles were searched for in PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline using keywords: ("physician" AND "ptsd"), as well as Meshterms ("stress disorders, post-traumatic" AND "physicians"). Since 1980, 1363 unique hits published in English were identified and filtered by pre-specified inclusion criteria to yield a sample of 110 full-text articles examining the prevalence of PTSD among healthcare workers. Among these, 9 articles represented an accurate examination of the prevalence of PTSD among physicians only. Information was extracted on the demographic, as well as PTSD prevalence data, from these studies for final comparison. Results Across all studies (n = 9) we examined, the prevalence of PTSD among physicians of both genders (n = 1616) was 14.8%, and the range was between 4.4% to 28%. This estimation is higher than the general prevalence of PTSD in the adult population of 3-4%, yet lower than prevalence found among people traumatized by war or torture, a range of 20-45%. Since only 50% of the studies examined here stratified PTSD prevalence among physicians by gender, we could not accurately conclude gender differences. Conclusions Our findings prompt a need for further investigation into the development of support programs for healthcare providers, aimed at reducing the traumatic stress experienced by physicians at work.

IBTM Americas

IBTM Americas is the connection bridge for the professional community of meetings and event industry across the Americas. IBTM Americas is the place to do business, network, engage and inspire through a 365-day business platform with digital and face-to-face initiatives.


IDW was founded in 1999 and started as a publisher for comic books, graphic novels, and trade paperbacks. The company has grown and includes IDW Games, IDW Entertainment, Top Shelf Productions, and the San Diego Comic Art Gallery. IDW Games publishes creator-owned and licensed tabletop games.
The object of the game is to survive the storm of the century in the isolated, frozen tundra of Siberia. To do this you will need to to not die and get through the expedition deck. This game is a co-op game and because of that, if anyone dies, you all lose. To setup, you will put the cards into 4 different piles: characters, threats, good events, and bad events. Everyone chooses a character to play as. You pick a difficulty level that will either put more good event cards in your deck than bad events, or more bad events than good. In the expedition deck, you will use the main part of the card for whatever type of card you draw. You will take the remaining good and bad event cards to make the outpost deck. You will use the lower yellow part of the card when drawing out of the outpost deck.
During play, you choose who will take their turn in whatever order you want. They will draw 2 cards in the outpost deck. They will add one to their hand to use for combat, and the other goes into the supply (anyone can use these) and is used for the item. You will then choose to attack if you can (or if you want to), then choose if you want to use any items in the supply, and then you will draw a card from the expedition deck. You follow the rules on the card making you discard cards or items, and either performing the event as it reads, or adding a threat to the table. You do this until you get through the entire expedition deck.
You and your team of scientists are trapped during a bad winter storm and you're stuck in the Siberian tundra. As a team, you are trying to use your items wisely while dealing with random threats that appear in the wilderness. You need to make it through the winter. The theme holds true as you are really trying to survive. Your heath points will go up and down from various events and you may think any second you are gonna take a hit and end the game. You feel the feeling of just surviving until the end. As a card game, you use hand management as well as using your team in a cooperative manner. There is nothing amazing about the mechanics used in the game, but it works for what the game is.
The game includes 54 cards and 6 cardboard tokens to keep track of life. The artwork to me isn't anything amazing, but not bad either. I don't have a problem with any of it. The artwork on the 15 good event cards are all the same, and the artwork on the 15 bad event cards are all the same. 18 threat cards each have different art per card, as do the 6 character cards.
The game plays quickly. Recently, co-op games have become more and more popular, and this one is in that category. I think the idea of the game is fun as you are facing mysterious threats.
A little confusing due to the cards being used in both decks and for different actions. There are 3 different and separate areas on the cards that are used in different parts of the game. The game has only 54 cards, and there is only so much you can do with 54 cards. Even though the idea of the game seems fun and good, I'm not sure if the execution was that amazing. While playing, it just seemed like we were hurrying to get through the expedition deck to finish the game, and not really enjoying any of the random threats or events coming forth. There seemed to be an excess of items of a certain type in the supply.
It's hard to put together a great game with so little components. It seems like a decent attempt to put this game together in the way they did. It seems like it is lacking in depth, and the game becomes very dry as you just start playing faster and faster to finish off the deck because there is nothing else to focus on.
I would recommend this game to those who enjoy gateway games, co-op games, or survival games. If you like forbidden island, you may like Outpost: Siberia.
I am giving Outpost: Siberia a 5 out of 10 super meeples.


While we tend to raise eyebrows over most things local especially when it comes to air travel, it seems that Philippine Airlines is set to change preconceived notions with beautiful new cabin designs for their Airbus A330-300.
The country's flag carrier hired Tokyo-based LIFT Strategic Design to come up with a look that allowed for the premium passenger experience, putting together stunning design details with practicality.
Obvious changes can be seen in the wider seating and new IFE screens. In business class, for example, LIFT managing director Daniel Baron says they installed seats that can lay fully flat (23 inches wide and 78 inches when flat), with adjustable Lantal air cusions and extra padding. There's a four-way headrest, more storage, a headphone hook, a pod that cancels out noise, and an 18.5-inch monitor.
"PAL's A330-300 is the first in Southeast Asia with the Thompson Vantage XL in Business Class, the most comfortable seat in its class, designed for sleep and with ample privacy, plus direct aisle access," says Baron.
For premium economy, seats are as wide as 19.55 inches with eight inches of recline. Apart from more storage pockets, it comes with a 13.30-inch monitor, and a mini pull-out cocktail table. Economy, meanwhile, is fitted with 18-inch wide chairs with added cushioning and a six-inch recline.
Apart from these upgrades, however, Baron wanted to come up with something that still reflected the Philippines.
PAL's original wall design "Coastlines"—also designed by LIFT—represented the country's many islands, but change was due, especially as the company positions itself as a premium, full-service, global airline.
Filipino-inspired designs are integrated on the forward and rear wall coverings (which are laminated plastic sheets), seat fabrics (across all classes), as well as the lining of the literature pocket and meal tables in business class and the carpet in premium classes.
Baron wanted the walls of each seating area to be stylish yet "unmistakably Filipino." Inspired by the barong Tagalog, they came up with a vertical pattern in various widths with a beige background for the Premium classes and crisp white in Economy. It also has a soft, pearlescent finish with a metallic touch—typical of more formal barongs.
The textiles were custom designed for PAL but developed by approved aviation suppliers located in Europe and the U.S. Baron explains, "Aircraft manufacturers mandate that all materials in the cabin meet extremely stringent requirements related to flammability, toxicity, et cetera."
"The Philippines has an incredibly rich heritage in textile weaving," Baron explains. "I wanted to celebrate this heritage in the cabin, so that from the moment they step on board, foreign visitors are welcomed by the flavor of their destination, and returning Filipinos instantly feel like they're already home."
Baron admitted that aircraft cabin design is difficult because so much has to be communicated in such a tight space and to such a diverse group of people. "At the end of the day, it's all about arriving relaxed and refreshed."
LIFT has also worked on the designs of Icelandair, China Airlines, HK Express, and more. According to Baron, there are no current plans to update PAL's uniform.

Human Theory
We Need To Talk About Class.
Earlier this year the shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner, claimed that a focus on girls and minority ethnic groups has had a "negative impact" on others. Asked about the notoriously low intake of white, working class boys when it came to university admissions, she said: "I think it's because as we've tried to deal with some of the issues around race and women's agendas, around tackling some of the discrimination that's there, it has actually had a negative impact on the food chain for white, working [class] boys. They have not been able to adapt." [1]
Her statements got me thinking a lot about class, especially in relation to diversity quotas in the education system, but even more so in the professional work sphere. While, quite rightly, many diversity mission statements focus on the increase of females and individuals from BAME backgrounds in entry and leadership positions, I've seen very little, if any, specific mention of a commitment to recruiting individuals from working-class backgrounds. By leaving out the class aspect, and the levels of affluence and access to education intertwined within it, can inclusivity ever truly exist?
I've faced two white, male, middle-class institutions in a very short time – graduating from Cambridge in 2016 and starting at a London-based creative agency in September of the same year. Both of which, I suppose, were achievements unmatched to my background. Or at least that's what everyone told me – not because I was a female, but because of where I'd come from. My parents hadn't gone to university. In fact, they'd both had childhoods entrenched in poverty. Back in the 1980's my mum's bath was a bucket in front of the fireplace in her parent's Bermondsey council flat. My dad lived on sugar sandwiches somewhere near Glasgow. True story.
I'd gone to a COE comprehensive in Belvedere, where me and my mates bought cheap Red Bulls on the walk to school and ate fried chicken on the walk home. It's ironic that Belvedere means 'a beautiful view' in Italian when all we could see from the top playground was the Thamesmead incinerator. Five years there and I somehow navigated my way out of a 'Requires Improvement' Ofsted status into a grammar school sixth form in Bexley, where they pushed me into applying for Oxbridge. I knew nothing about the place apart from the fact you needed grades I probably wouldn't get. However, as a fate would have it, that's where I ended up… but more of that to come.
Much like with my Cambridge application, I was clueless as to what to expect from the advertising world. But after submitting my CV, a written application, and a video of me speaking to the camera about advertising, I was accepted for interview at a creative agency. It went well, and I ended up getting the job. But something the interviewer said etched itself into my mind. A comment made with no malice at all, but reminding me that – as far as my background was concerned – I was in uncharted territory.
My interviewer said he had finished watching my video submission and was surprised to see 'University of Cambridge' on my CV. For him, my voice and my accent didn't match up with the university, and all that it conjured up in his mind. Fundamentally, I stuck out, and everyone's surprise continued to highlight this fact. "It's just not the done thing" – a phrase I heard (and still hear) frequently, which didn't (and doesn't) seem to be because I'm a female. In fact, at my interview for the advertising role, girls outnumbered boys significantly. I wasn't the odd one out for my biological qualities, but rather my social ones.
While there is more work coming out of ad agencies that depicts a broader scope of race, sexual orientation and gender identity, the life and make-up of the people that work in the ad agencies is still rooted in a past that's not aligned with the society they're talking to. The white middle class and its cultural references dominates, something the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) and many agencies are trying to change with the introduction of quotas, mission statements, and dedicated diversity task forces. Former IPA President Tom Knox set three core targets for 2020 at the annual President's Reception in 2015, which included the following:
· On gender, women will hold 40% of senior positions within all agencies, and at each stage of the career ladder (Executive or Assistant, Middle Manager, Head of Department, Director or Other Executive Management and amongst personnel in the C-Suite)
· On ethnic diversity, at least, 15% of people in leadership positions in the IPA's biggest agencies will be from a non-white background
· These goals are in addition to the IPA's existing commitment to help the industry recruit 25% of new joiners from BAME backgrounds [2]
Class, however, is notably absent.
It's a sad fact that ethnic minorities in this country are more likely than white people to live in the most deprived neighbourhoods. According to a 2018 report from the English Indices of Deprivation, black people were most likely to live in the poorest neighbourhoods, followed by Asian people; respectively speaking, 19.6% and 17.1% of these groups lived in the most deprived 10% of neighbourhoods. Indeed, if class is interlinked with the areas in which people live and the backgrounds associated with those postcodes, then the push for new joiners from BAME backgrounds does inevitably try to solve the issue. But by not separating race and class, we're at risk of ignoring the 8.7% of white people who also live in the most deprived 10% of UK neighbourhoods. [3]
Oxbridge, ironically, seems to hold a potential solution to this in their admission methods. By using postcode based, demographic systems (ACORN and POLAR5), they can monitor the differing levels of socio-economic advantage and progression to higher education applicants have. In 2017, 10.6% of UK students admitted to Oxford came from the two most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups - an increase of almost four percentage points from 2013. They also monitor ethnicity separately, ensuring that enough attention and commitment is given to encouraging applications from BAME individuals. Of course, the numbers are still too low for both – there's no denying that. With only 17.9% of Oxbridge students being BAME compared to the 24.7% who make up all UK universities, it's evident Oxbridge still has more work to do in encouraging these people to believe it's a place for them. But their emphasis on a postcode system is an interesting one – and something the advertising industry should consider if it wants to be truly inclusive.
In properly understanding the data behind who's applying, the likes of Oxbridge and professional workplaces can only get better. But this focus on improvement can't stop at the front door – especially because the barriers to class don't end there. It's just as much about what happens within the organisation. Class manifests itself in many facets – from cultural and popular references, right down to the way you speak. Each facet poses a potential barrier to equality.
For example, government research recently found a previously unrecognised 'class pay gap' amongst British workers. People from working class backgrounds, who are more likely to have regional accents, get paid on average £6800 less than their more affluent colleagues [4], and earn less even when allowing for the same education attainment, role and experience. In another study, 13 elite law, accountancy and financial companies found that their hiring practices favoured applicants with 'posh' RP accents.
There is no law against discriminating against someone with a regional accent; it is not a protected characteristic under the Equal Opportunities Act, despite the fact the way someone speaks is likely to encourage an opinion on not only their intelligence, but also who they are as a person. At university I quickly became known as "Casey from the Streets" by the students I met at college. "It's ok", they would say before we left to go to the club, "we've got Casey from the mean South London streets to protect us if we get into any trouble." Luckily, I never did live up to the identity signalled by the way I pronounce words.
Class is a complex thing in this country and is loaded with at least 1,000 years of historical context.[5] It's powerful too, because it defines so much of who you are, and where you have come from. It shouldn't, however, need to define where you go and what you can achieve. If the ad industry can encourage this belief, and convince people from all walks of life that it's the career for them, then surely more empathetic, effective work will follow. The best advertising speaks to people on their terms, with all the cultural understanding that entails.

Eames House
The Eames House is a landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture.
Mathematica at The Henry Ford
Charles and Ray Eameses' groundbreaking exhibition about "the world of numbers . . . and beyond," goes on permanent display at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
After caring for Mathematica for many years, the Eames Office found the perfect home for it in 2015, when The Henry Ford acquired the exhibition for permanent display. The museum lovingly repairing the show's components and opened the exhibition for all to enjoy on September 23, 2017.
The show cracks the world of mathematics wide open, allowing novices and experts alike to create new and exciting connections between math and the everyday world.
Mathematica is just as inspiring today as it was when legendary designers Charles and Ray Eames first created it in 1961. The duo pioneered the interactive exhibition format and demonstrated how to make kinetic, experiential learning environments that are as fun as they are educational.
The Eames Office created a total of three versions of Mathematica. All three are on view for visitors to experience and enjoy today. The first is on display at the New York Hall of Science; it was initially created for the IBM Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The second version can be seen at The Museum of Science in Boston.
The third version was originally on view at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle before becoming the property of the Eames family; this version, which includes interactive elements unique to it, has found a wonderful new home at The Henry Ford.
