After 21 days and 39 presentations, crossing Alberta, BC, and the USA, last week the NEB Panel for Kinder Morgan's proposed Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion tried to quietly wrap-up First Nations oral hearings on the land of the Coast Salish people in Victoria…but we didn't let it remain quiet.
Sierra Club BC were grateful so many of you heard the call to join us Weds, Nov 26th to rally in solidarity with First Nations, along with Tseycum Chief Vern Jacks and the Wilderness Committee. Many also stayed to bear witness to the moving testimony from this deeply flawed governmental process, for a proposal that was uniformly opposed.
A simple summary could never capture the richness conveyed at the Victoria hearings, however themes emerged that I will attempt to briefly unpack: traditional knowledge, stories, and connection to place; intergenerational perspectives and responsibilities; potential impacts of tankers and pipelines; and why this process was a sham. While complete quotes are footnoted throughout this round-up, without exception, these oral histories are worth reading – this is heartfelt storytelling for all Canadians about what is at stake if these projects to go through (here is a link to the full NEB transcripts).
The educational and embedded nature of the experiences shared last week by chiefs, elders, councillors, harvesters and community members evoked emotional responses. The pride and connection in these narratives was warmly translated to non-aboriginal ears as unique communities that knew who they were and where they were from.
Everyone voiced grave concerns about the risks of oil spills, about impacts on ecosystems, traditions and community, about broken processes and promises, of reserves and residential schools, and cumulative impacts going back to first contact. The importance of reverence for the past was clear, with people tracing the roots of family trees, recalling tales of warriors, chiefs, and grandparents in their lineage. With sadness and disgust, people described the disturbances of sacred spaces and ancestral burial grounds.
Old memories of kettles and beach fires, recent elk hunts with grandkids and making drums together; recounting journeys to fish, hunt, gather, preserve, feast, visit, share and talk to the whales; local understandings of time and relating stories of ancestors; people seeing their territories as their "playground", seas as their "supermarket." Both Earl Claxton Jr. of the Tsawout and T'Souke Chief Gordon Planes told how "the Elders always said that when the tide was out, the table was set." Pacheedaht Councillor Jeff Jones described how their community would travel together for thanksgiving during the coho fishery, harvesting and celebrating with a BBQ right on the beach.
There was no acceptance of this quasi-judicial NEB regulatory process as a substitute for the government-to-government consultations that are the Canadian Crown's constitutional duty. The November 28th open letter from 12 First Nations outlined why this was inadequate consultation, even in the loosest of terms. For example, the Tsartlip's lawyer thanked the Panel for changing the hearing dates "because it interfered with their fishing season," however, had they been consulted at the outset, this would have been obvious. Also the basic idea that First Nations were expected to provide comments on incomplete data from Kinder Morgan, is ridiculous.
Most felt the Federal government's participation was insufficient, with Tsartlip Chief Don Tom disappointed there was only one representative present. Later, an important moment was when Lyackson's lawyer requested the Crown to stand-up, making two representatives Natural Resources Canada and one Transport Canada introduced themselves.
While Alberta-based Alexander First Nations were unable to come due to a blizzard, Horse Lake First Nations testified via phone from Grande Prairie, AB. The high costs of travelling prevented their attendance, for they were denied financial help – by some "quirk of the system", funds were offered after the hearings. "I'm sure I don't need to remind the Panel," said their lawyer, "the context we're talking about here is an $8 billion project."  Forcing Chiefs and elders to travel great distances, rather than meeting them on their lands was also considered a great disrespect.
Three hours each was never going to be enough time to begin to touch upon the complex and important relationships formed between these lands and peoples since time immemorial – it barely provided a snapshot. Given the gravity of what is at stake, this was a process that all Canadians, as treaty peoples, should be offended and embarrassed about.
Eric Pelke, Tswaout FN, Friday Nov 28. – Our main mode of oral history was to ask the people to be a witness to what is being said. Be a witness because that's how the knowledge was passed on and that's how the information was passed on, by asking everyone to be a witness And you, the Panel, are asked to be a witness to everything that was being said here today, as is our representative from Trans Mountain asked to be a witness to what is being said here today, and also the people that are sitting in the audience, you are asked to be a witness, a witness to what is being said here today because in our tradition, in our history, everyone that attended was asked to be a witness to bring back the information to the others, the people that were not able to make it.
 Pacheedaht Elder Marvin McClurg eloquently summarized many potential impacts on Thursday, November 27,: Number one impact is to our Aboriginal right to hunt and fish and to live. Another impact is our right to trade and barter with our neighbour tribes, our sisters, our brothers, our neighbours, our families. The risk these tankers pose on us would erase us, would erase our identity, our diets, our rich diets. The impacts on us is the social and economic, political impacts to our people. The shoreline and the ocean holds a majority of our rich seafood diet; sea urchins, crab, gooseneck barnacles, rock stickers, mussels, octopus, herring, smelt, sockeye…we cannot buy our traditional foods from a grocery store. Our market is the ocean, the shorelines, that's our market. Our roles and responsibilities to our youth and the well-being of our Elders, their knowledge they hold, the history they hold; that's in jeopardy as well.
 Tsartlip FN Elder Tom Sampson, Monday Nov 24. -I'm speaking on behalf of my great-grandfather and great-grandmothers. I'm speaking on behalf of my children, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and those children that have not yet been born because if we don't speak on their behalf, just like the salmon, just like the killer whale, just like the seal, the mountain lion, the wolf, nobody speaks on their behalf.
 Tsartlip Elder Simon Smith Sr., Monday Nov 25.
 Belinda Claxton- Tswaout FN, Friday Nov 28. – Before the coming of the Europeans, we were in touch with nature and we used the universe as a giant clock. Our culture and our survival depended on the time of man and nature being one, so much so that we planned our lives around it. The moons told us a change in the weather and signalled our food gathering and spiritual and social activities.
 Earl Claxton Jr. Tsawout FN, Friday Nov 28 – And that meant that no matter how poor you were, you could still go out and dig clams and catch a salmon and eat like a king. If there's an oil spill, those eel grass beds are going to be coated with oil and they won't any longer be a good home for the creatures that live there.
 T'Souke FN Chief Gordon Planes, Monday Nov 24- places that are very near and very dear to us, the same as Chianno (ph) and Beecher Bay and the same as Songese(ph) and Esquimalt, and that place would be Race Rocks. Race Rocks is a very important place for resources…one of the places that would be a high risk of having a spill. But I can only share so much with you today on that. And I hope when you get a chance, you could go out off our village or come out with us in the middle of the Straits and then you'll know what we mean of who we are, because the way our Elders and our ancestors did things was not by sitting at these meetings and talking.
 Chief Casey Horseman, Horse Lake FN, AB Thursday, Nov 27 – A lot of members do work off Reserve and they do work for industry, so we're not trying to stop industry, but like I said before, we need to regulate how they're doing their business when it comes to the land. I was once employed by a large industry player. A man –like I said, a man needs to feed his family and when our traditional way of life is being taken from him, he sometimes does what he needs to do for his family. And the more I worked for that company, the more I was pulled away from my community and I found that I was there for the wrong reason; that –I seen what industry or the company that I worked for –what they were doing to the land and how they were treating the people and how they treated me –treated me as a number and they treat people as numbers and it's all about money and that's somewhere –you know when it comes to land, I've seen what they were doing to the land and it really hurt me. So the biggest relief was the day I left that industry to actually do what I'm doing now, to be able to take care of it.
 Councillor Kathleen Johnnie, Lyackson FN, Weds. Nov26. – For the people, any oil spill affecting this island will adversely affect the Lyackson Mustimuhw(people) mentally, emotionally, and perhaps even physically, as the stress of a spill would cause them extreme pain which, in turn, could affect their health. Their use of the island would be affected and perhaps curtailed for as much as a quarter of a century of more, as it is witnessed in the Exxon Valdez spill. They would not be able to pass on these teachings to their children and the community's youth. They could be this could be the equivalent effect of residential schools on the traditional teachings of the community and their language.
 Councillor Kathleen Johnnie, Lyackson FN, Weds. Nov26- "For their food fishery and traditional foods, the potential impacts might be the effect on the Lyackson food fishery and shellfish beaches may devastate these fisheries and the ocean resources for many years", noting also the impacts even small spills could have on the tiny islands used by migratory birds and that seals, sea lions haul-out on.
 Councillor Kathleen Johnnie, Lyackson FN, Weds. Nov26 -Elders in particular said to me that our needs must not be met through initiatives that place a burden on others. And they were talking at the time about the Site C Dam, and they were talking at the time about the interior to lower mainland transmission line and the Vancouver Island Transmission Reinforcement Project. They were saying that our need for electricity should be met here, here at home. We feed ourselves here at home. We trade for other things, but we trade fairly. So our need must be met here.
 T'souke Chief Gordon Planes, Monday Nov 24– "about five years ago, we did a demonstration project of 75 kilowatts, 400 panels. And it's a demonstration project that has a light footprint on Mother Earth. One of them being that it is a secluded village where our fisheries building is just totally dependent on solar panels. This one here, where I'm standing, these panels go directly to the B.C. Hydro grid and they actually pay us money for these panels. And we also have an electric car that's powered by solar panels. And then we have our band administration building that has net zero, and that is that they pay us during the summer months and we pay them back in the winter months and at the end of the year it doesn't cost us nothing for hydro. These are demonstration projects. We did these kind of projects not for gaining revenue stream into our community. It's a demonstration. And that demonstration is that the light footprint on what we, as Canadians and British Columbians, can do to start making change that would be beneficial for our children 100 years from now. Now, as stewards, we have a responsibility today, like our ancestors did 100 years ago or 1,000 years ago, and we're trying to keep with that. And that's why we're here today to speak on behalf of the Kinder Morgan application, is to say that what is the price that we have to pay if there was a spill?
 Tsartlip Chief Don Tom, Monday Nov 24. – I'm disappointed to see that there's only one representative of Canada here. I was hoping that there'd be someone from Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Transport Canada. All these people there's many people missing from this who should be here, who should be a part of this. And again, that Canada and the Crown has a fiduciary responsibility and it limits our ability here at the National Energy Board and the oral testimony because Canada, by their own laws, has to come to us, has to come to the community to speak with the heads of the families, not just the Chief and Council, because again, our Douglas Treaty was signed by the heads of our family, not an Indian Act Chief and Council. So the Crown in Canada has a fiduciary responsibility and we will be waiting for their phone call. We will be waiting for a meeting time to set up.
Tim Bayley, Council for Horse Lake First Nations, Grande Prarie, AB.- Thrusday Nov 27 – " I expect many other First Nations might share the same procedural concern. The comment stems from the high cost of getting to this hearing in the first place. Preparing for this hearing and hoping to attend this hearing has been extremely costly for the Horse Lake First Nation, as I'm sure everyone knows, including Kinder Morgan hiring a lawyer, especially lawyers versed in regulatory law is not a cheap endeavour.
And then there's the cost of travel to and from the hearing. Unfortunately, this is a cost that the Horse Lake First Nation could not incur in this instance. And you will know that, whether intentionally or through a quirk in the system, the National Energy Board does not offer funding for the First Nations until after these oral traditional evidence hearings have taken place, the deadline for such applications being tomorrow, the same day these hearings are scheduled to end.
Now, I want to ask the members of this Panel to try and see this matter from the perspective of the members of the Horse Lake First Nation in Hythe, Alberta, 1,400 kilometres from where you sit now. And before you start imagining this, I'll remind you that it's currently minus 30 degrees with the wind chill, blizzarding with a 12-inch snowfall warning.
I'm sure I don't need to remind the Panel, that the context we're talking about here is an $8 billion project.
Now with great respect, the Crown has failed to meaningfully consult. Its agent, Kinder Morgan, has failed to meaningfully consult. I refer back to comments made on November 25th before this Panel by Ms. Skeels, counsel for the Stz'uminus people, when she mentioned the fact that the Proponent has not filed all of its intended material. And so in that case, the Stz'uminus and in our case, the Horse Lake First Nation, cannot properly be asked to provide detailed comments about its concerns for the project, especially when we don't know all the details yet of the project. Even if the Proponent had filed all of its intended documents at this point, Horse Lake First Nations still would not have the appropriate financial resources to have reviewed these filings.
When a leader of a nation would like to cross a neighbouring nation's land, that first leader should ask to be invited to the second leader's table to talk about how things are going to work out. It is the first leader who is asking an indulgence of the second and not the other way around. Likewise, the Crown should ask to sit with the Chief and council of the Horse Lake First Nation on their land.
 Tsartlip First Nation Elder Tom Sampson, Monday Nov 24 – …A futile exercise that's not going anywhere because it's already been predetermined. The only purpose of this meeting is for the government and the corporations to determine where the hot spots are… "Oh, those Indians are at it again. Let them blow off their steam and they'll go to sleep if we pay them a few dollars. Give them some money, they'll keep quiet." That's how we've always been treated. I'm aware of that. It's disappointing that we would –after all these years, 500 years of being together, and we haven't learned to live together yet.
 Tseycum First Nation Chief Vern Jacks, Wed Nov 26 – What's in it for First Nations today? Is there economics for First Nations? There won't be any if there's a spill. The only economics, if there's a spill , you'll hire First Nations to go do your dirty work. That's what we predict. Tseycum is still against Kinder Morgan. They were in our office and we told them go home, don't come back. Oh, they promised 65,000. That's nothing. We could spendthat in half a day. Back on welfare again. These industries, they come and flash a cheque in front of you. Come on, agree with us. There's no need to do that in Tseycum. We won't accept it.
 Councillor Kathleen Johnnie, Lyackson FN, Weds. Nov26- And then, an accident happens, and it's the First Nations and our ways that are often put out in front of that accident, that are often at the receiving end, at the brunt end, at the damaged end of that accident. But this fight does not end. There's always one more project.
The last thing that I want to share with you is a concept when, at the time of contact, our people named the non-native people qwuniitum, and that name means always hungry, always wanting more, never satisfied people. And it wasn't a name that was after the colour of the people's skin or the shape of their eyes or their faces. It was a name that described a characteristic that they displayed. I remember as a very young child, Elders talking about the sqwatti qwuniitum. The sqwatti is not a friendly word. It means crazy, but it means crazy in a bad way.
They say, what are those sqwatti qwuniitum up to? What do they think they're doing? I've heard Elders over the last 16 years talk about how the hwelmuk will live when the sqwatti qwuniitum ways take away everything, take away and destroy everything that we have lived on before.


Is this the End of the Itchy & Scratchy Show?
The jubilation of making it on to the ticket will pass for Diane Abbott. Not only will she be some £1,000 a week less well off for the duration of the 16 week campaign, but her seat on the This Week sofa might not be saved for her in September. Things haven't exactly been swell between her and Brillo since she appeared on the Daily Politics soon after declaring.
Neil quipped she was bringing diversity to the race as the only candidate to send her children to private school. Guido hears this did not go down well and there was quite the "diva moment" off air. As the summer progresses and the sure realisation dawns that she was David Miliband's mere pawn to split the left and she isn't going to win, might she slightly regret her unexpected decision to run?

Deliciously light and moist scones! The perfect scone to accompany afternoon tea.
Put the flour and baking powder into a bowl and blend together well.
Stir in the sugar and almonds.
Add the butter and blend with a fork until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Pour the milk into the bowl and stir to make a soft, spongy mass of dough.
Gently tease the piles of dough into circles and brush the tops with milk.
This recipe does NOT work! Don't use 200ml of milk whatever you do. It made the sloppiest mess ever. I ended up having to put another 100g at least of flour & then the ratio of baking powder. The end result was ok luckily but I'll definitely only be using a splash of milk or enough to make the dough next time rather than sticking to this recipe. The only bonus was I had nearly double the mixture, yum!


You may remember that I announced my intention to complete the open cluster program this year. Well we're a couple of months in and a few things are clearer to me now. And that year's seeming short than I'd expected.
When is a group of stars a cluster?
As a relatively new observer I'm used to open clusters like M37 which, courtesy of Stellarium, looks something like this.
They're pretty obviously a cluster of stars aren't they, so no problem there, even I can find that as long as I'm looking at the right one.
Unfortunately they're not all like that. I was looking for NGC1662 last night in Orion, and it turns out to look like this.
Now I found it, and it looked very much like that, but it wasn't what I'd expected. I've been trying not to cheat by looking up the clusters ahead of time in case that distorts my observation. But you do need to know what you're looking for.
This gives me a headache: when do a few nearby stars actually become a cluster?
In order to complete the program, I not only need to draw some of these clusters, but I need to classify all of them. To do that I'm going to need to answer my own question. Practice anyone?

Q: Issue on Ordering - Indexing Multidimensional Array in Javascript Can you please take a look at following demo let me know how I can force Javascript to push the items into the array based on the items id?

var theArray = [
    ["A", "B", "C"],
    ["D", "E"],
    ["F", "G", "H", "I"],
    ["J"],
    ["K", "L", "M"]
];
var res = theArray.toString();

$('#textarea').text(res);

$("input[name='m1']").change(function () {
    if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
        var id=$(this).attr('id');
        var selected = $(this).val();
        theArray[1][id] = selected;

    } else {
        var itemtoRemove = $(this).val();
    theArray[1].splice($.inArray(itemtoRemove, theArray[1]),1);

    }
    var res = theArray.toString();
$('#textarea').text(res);

});

<textarea id="textarea" rows="2" cols="100"></textarea>

<fieldset>
    <legend>Items</legend>
    <input type="checkbox" id="1" name="m1" value="mItem1" />mItem 1

    <input type="checkbox" id="2" name="m1" value="mItem2" />mItem 2

    <input type="checkbox" id="3" name="m1" value="mItem3" />mItem 3

</fieldset>

As you can see the example works if you un check from mItem 3 to mItem 3 but if you uncheck mItem 1 first and check it again it will overwrite the mitem2 in the array (which make seance!)
Can you please let me know how i can fix this?

A: I didn't understand the purpose of such an application, but if I understand your case correctly, here is the reason.
Initially the array is ["D", "E"].
When you check mItem3, it becomes ["D", "E", "", "mItem3"]. JS adds an empty item at index 2 because you are inserting at index 3.
When you uncheck mItem3, the array becoms ["D", "E", ""].
Check mItem2, then ["D", "E", "mItem2"].
Check mItem1, then it will replace the element at index 1 -> ["D", "mItem1", "mItem2"].
Uncheck mItem1 will remove mItem1 (at index 1) -> ["D", "mItem2"].
I think, it is all OK up to now for you.
Here the problem arises.
When you check mItem1 again, it replaces the item at index 1 whose value is "mItem2". So, naturally the array becomes ["D", "mItem1"].

You are here: Home / Archives / Featured / The Count in the Ivory Tower: Gender Parity in MFA Programs
A graduate PhD student and a tenured professor walk into a coffee shop—sounds like the beginning of a hackneyed joke. Instead, it's the catalyst for an experiment on the state of gender in creative writing academia.
The semester was in full swing, and we'd agreed to meet to discuss a small curricular matter. But our conversation wandered from poetry to gossip, then from gossip to the state of the University of Houston's Creative Writing Program. The students, we agreed, seemed happy with the professors and the professors happy with the students. The environment was indubitably supportive, sociable, and aesthetically diverse.
Though the glaring problem, we agreed, was gender parity, especially in the poetry program.
Due to a perfect storm of recent hiring and faculty departures, UH became a large MFA/PhD program with a poetry faculty that was 80% male. To make things stickier, a quick count revealed that our graduate student body in poetry writing is about 60% female. Despite pleading the case to university higher-ups, there was little chance that we were going to be able to fix things soon.
Of course, Houston is hardly the only school with this problem. For the past few years, Erika's MFA alma mater has had zero female poetry professors on its faculty, and both could name other prominent programs with similar problems. Was this just a run of bad luck or symptomatic of a pattern of inequality?
Others have published studies on gender parity in English departments or the humanities in general. But what, we wondered, was the ratio of male to female professors across the discipline of creative writing? How did it break down by rank and genre?
We were pretty sure that a couple evenings of work could confirm what we suspected—that gender parity is a discipline-wide problem.

We started with the 2012 Poets & Writers list of "Top 50" MFA programs, certainly a flawed study, but a solid test sample from which we could gather data. This way, our information would come directly from the public face of each university (i.e. what they report on their own websites).
Along the way, we discovered all sorts of complications. Some programs didn't list ranks; some departmental websites seemed almost purposely obfuscating, implying unreasonably large faculties that, after a few clicks, were revealed to be padded with adjuncts, part-timers, visiting professors, and temporary writers-in-residence. Ultimately, we managed to shake out a good sample of 45 programs that clearly communicated their faculty profiles.
Tallying by genre also proved complicated. We looked into past and present course offerings, but how could we really report someone who had written seven novels and a book of poems? What about the many, mostly younger, faculty working in unclassifiable, hybrid genres?
(We've put the genre count on hold for now, although initial reports suggest that this imbalance among faculty is much more severe in poetry programs than in fiction programs.)
For the sake of conversation, here's what we found:
Total Male Faculty: 188
Total Female Faculty: 152
Total Assistant Professors, Male: 19
Total Assistant Professors, Female: 25
Total Associate Professors, Male: 45
Total Associate Professors, Female: 31
Total Full Professors, Male: 123
Total Full Professors, Female: 97
26 programs have more male professors than female professors
13 programs have more female professors than male professors
6 programs have an equal number of male and female professors
If you are an assistant professor at an MFA program, you are statistically more likely to be female than male (though statistically less likely to exist! The vast majority of professors at top ranked creative writing programs are tenured associate or full professors.) For every other rank and category, you are more likely to be male.
We discovered that at least two other schools out of the 45 surveyed have zero permanent female poetry professors of any rank. Four other schools have zero permanent female full professors in any genre.
The problem of gender parity increases dramatically with rank, with possibly serious consequences for aspiring female academics, graduate students, and faculty colleagues.
There are all kinds of ways that literary "power" is handed down from one writer to another. One of the most obvious is through publication, a topic VIDA has covered (and continues to cover) in detail and at length.
It's also passed along through prestigious academic appointments. Employment at an MFA program affords a writer not only the power to help students, colleagues, and friends find publication, awards, and jobs—but also puts him in a position that furthers his own literary career. Many full professorships come with lighter 1-1 or 2-2 teaching load, giving the (mostly male) MFA faculty members more time to write, travel, and cultivate readerships.
Much of the committee and administrative work of English departments lands on untenured professors, who generally are not in a good position to say no. Thus, a disproportionate amount of this kind of work is likely to land on women faculty at exactly the time they need to be focusing on their own writing and publishing—that is, on earning tenure. And, assistant professors may have trouble finding tenured women in the field to act as mentors.
For students, graduate mentors can be classroom instructors, professional advocates, and personal counselors—helping students navigate their budding careers and encouraging development across the board. After all, a graduate program can be a pressure cooker experience, requiring novel strategies to handle transitions, to adapt to ever-evolving expectations and objectives, and to succeed with time management in a split-focus culture.
There's an inherent power dynamic between mentors and mentees, and gender disparity adds a complication. This is not to suggest that male mentors won't advocate for their students and untenured colleagues regardless of gender. There are, however, some issues both professional (networks, conference panels, awkward situations arising on the job market) and personal (health and reproductive planning, social dynamics, harassment) in which women benefit from the guidance and mentorship of other women—those who possess insight central to the experience of a gendered workplace.
Although the imbalance in top-tier graduate creative writing programs isn't nearly so severe as it is in, say, The New Yorker or The Atlantic Monthly, it's still undeniably a problem, one that has real-world repercussions for students and faculties at our MFA-granting institutions.

Long-term strategies to control COVID-19 must treat health and economy as equally important
Strategies for the safe reopening of low and middle-income countries (LMICs) from months of strict social distancing in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic must recognize that preserving people's health is as important as reviving the economy, argue an international team of researchers.
The team also say that strategies need to be based on local epidemic growth rate at the time, social and economic costs, existing health systems capabilities and detailed plans to implement and sustain the strategy.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been responsible for over half a million deaths globally. Many LMICs responded to the pandemic by introducing a number of measures from physical distancing to strict social distancing.
These measures have proved relatively successful in containing the disease and limiting the number of deaths in places where the risk of transmission is high, public health systems and usage are suboptimal and awareness of disease prevention practices is low. However, they have often come with tremendous negative social, economic and psychological effects.
To prevent further negative impacts of lockdown, many countries are now looking to 'reopen', risking population health, especially given shortcomings in surveillance infrastructure and poor diagnostic capabilities.
In a paper published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, a team of epidemiologists from the University of Cambridge, the University of Bern, BRAC University and the National Heart Foundation in Bangladesh, have examined three community-based exit strategies, and recommend their scopes, limitations and the appropriate application in the LMICs.
Dr. Rajiv Chowdhury from the University of Cambridge, lead author of the paper, said: "Successfully re-opening a country requires consideration of both the economic and social costs. Governments should approach these options with a mind-set that health and economy both are equally important to protect—reviving the economy should not take priority over preserving people's health."
The three approaches considered are:
Sustained mitigation
Sustained 'mitigation-only' approaches such as those adopted in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other European countries, involve basic prevention measures such as mask wearing, physical distancing and the isolation of positive cases after testing.
However, the researchers point out that the relative success and ease of implementation of these approaches in high-income settings was aided by a number of factors. For example, high-income countries have the capacity to implement mass testing, population surveillance and case isolation to contain the epidemic, in addition to a high number of trained contact tracers operating in a relatively small and sparse population and high levels of adherence to the measures, including home quarantine and hygiene advice.
By contrast, in LMICs, a sustained mitigation-only approach may be unfeasible due to poor or absent nationwide population surveillance, contact tracing, testing infrastructure and critical care. For example, LMICs generally have limited supply of ventilators (around 48,000 for India's 1.3 billion people), personal protective equipment, trained healthcare personnel and safe working conditions, compromising the healthcare system's effectiveness.
Zonal lockdowns
Zonal lockdowns involve identifying and 'cordoning off' new outbreak clusters with a high number of cases, keeping contact between zones low and containing the disease within a small geographic area.
However, the authors point out that any successful implementation of zonal lockdown requires regular data feedback operations in real time to identify hotspots, including information on newly confirmed cases, updated region-specific reproduction and growth rates, and deaths by age. This may be especially difficult to introduce in LMICs due to the absence of widespread population surveillance on random selections of the population and poor reporting and testing capabilities—for example, Pakistan conducts only 0.09 tests daily per 1,000 individuals compared to 0.52 in France.
Additionally, control of transmission within zones may be an enormous undertaking. In India, where this approach has been employed, the infection size within a cordoned zone can be as high as 100-200 times that outside the zone.
Countries seeking to introduce such measures should establish within the lockdown zone public health measures, including house-to-house surveillance and case-referral systems, and emergency services. They should also create buffer zones to reduce the rates of transmission from outside the zone. Such measures may only be effective when overall population transmission is relatively low and reducing.
Rolling lockdowns
Intermittent rolling lockdowns are now advocated by the World Health Organization in various LMICs. These involve implementing strict social distancing for a set number of days before a period of relaxation. Rolling lockdowns may be particularly useful in LMICs with dense populations, where this is a high potential for contact, weak health systems and poor contact tracing.
A modeling study published by the team in May showed that a system involving 50 days of strict lockdown followed by 30 days of relaxation, enabling the economy to 'breathe' and recuperate, could reduce the reproduction number to 0.5, reduce the strain on health systems and considerably reduce the number of deaths compared to a situation with no lockdown.
Professor Oscar Franco, of the University of Bern and senior author of the paper, said: "Rolling lockdowns need be flexible and tailored to the specific country. The frequency and duration of the lockdowns or relaxed periods should be determined by the country based on local circumstances. They don't necessarily need to be nationwide—they can also involve a large zone or province with very high incidence of COVID-19."
Dr. Shammi Luhar of the University of Cambridge and co-author of the paper, added: "These three strategies should not be considered as one or the other. A country should further adapt and could combine them as needed."
Rolling lockdowns could protect both economies and health in low-income countries

Statistiska tabellkommissionen inrättades 1756 som Tabellkommissionen och hade till syfte att förvalta Tabellverket och dess databehandling. Tabellkommissionen ersattes av Statistiska beredningen 1856 vars syfte var rådgivande och koordinerande för den officiella statistiken i Sverige. Samtidigt som omorganiseringen av Tabellkommissionen till Statistiska beredningen inrättades Kungliga Statistiska centralbyrån. År 1886 ombildades Statistiska beredningen till Statistiska tabellkommissionen vars verksamhet formellt upphörde 1948.

Exemption 7(C): The court holds that "the VA has met its burden by showing that the record requested by [plaintiff] was compiled for a law enforcement function and implicated privacy interests without a countervailing public interest." The court relates that "[plaintiff] seeks his accuser's personal identity." The court finds that "Exemption 7 would apply because [plaintiff] requested 'any and all police reports or police logs relating to' the relevant incident." Additionally, the court finds that "the fundamental purpose of Exemption 7(C) is to prevent unwarranted invasion of personal privacy through the use of FOIA, which is what would happen if the redacted information would be provided to [plaintiff]." Finally, the court finds that "there is no public interest that outweighs the privacy interest in this case." The court holds that "[plaintiff's] request is not a matter of public interest in the activities of government, but rather a personal one, an interest that does not further the public's interest when weighed against the countervailing privacy interests at issue."


NBC Sports' Playmaker Media partnered with iStreamPlanet to live stream all 18 days and nights of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, from February 8-25. NBC provided live streaming of every event - covering all 15 sports and 102 medal events - on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app across desktops, mobile devices, tablets, connected TVs and OTT services such as Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Xbox. From halfpipes to triple axles, fans enjoyed 1800 hours of live streaming, a new record for the Winter Olympics, up from 1000 hours for Sochi 2014.
Milliseconds count in many live sports, and even more so during the Olympics where fractions of a second can make or break a world record. The stream must be up on time and available for fans on devices of their choosing. Powering a live event of this scale and importance is a robust operation. NBC Sports was committed to delivering the very best possible experience for fans, and as such, built upon on its proven partnership with iStreamPlanet to give fans gold medal video quality.
"Our successful partnership with iStreamPlanet was proven once again as we live streamed 1.87 billion minutes of the PyeongChang Olympics to more than 40 million uniques," said Eric Black, SVP & CTO Digital at NBC Sports Group and Playmaker Media. "This was our fourth time we partnered together on the Olympics, and we were pleased with our ability to handle the scale, and provide an exceptional fan experience."
The live streaming workflow began with the live games in PyeongChang, South Korea. Olympic content captured on site was sent from the International Broadcast Center (IBC) to NBC Sports' headquarters in Stamford, Conn. From there, NBC Sports ingested primary and alternate video feeds into the iStreamPlanet content aggregation service in Las Vegas, Nev., over dedicated, redundant fiber lines.
After acquiring the feeds, iStreamPlanet transcoded them, processed closed captioning, and inserted mid-roll ad markers via the Aventus Media Processing Suite. Primary and alternate feeds were pushed to the CDN and the iStreamPlanet Media Origin for distribution to fans on target devices. The multiple layers of redundancy helped to ensure that the Games and valuable ad content were continually displayed to fans across the country.
The PyeongChang Olympics proved extremely popular, with fans consuming 1.85 billion live streaming minutes, three times more than NBC Sports Digital's delivery for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

The following steps, if followed by the guests and supported by the family and friends offer the best route to continued abstinence and a healthy and happy recovery.
The very first step in the process of getting drug or alcohol addiction help is to admit the problem to yourself - which, if you are reading this, you have probably done or are close to doing - congratulations!
It takes a tremendous amount of strength and courage to admit to the problem of drug or alcohol addiction. The next part involves telling someone else. Talk to someone whom you trust, and who you know will be willing to support you in the difficult road to recovery that lies ahead. It may be a friend, family member, or someone else- the important part is that you get the support you need.
Based on the circumstances and severity of your drug or alcohol addiction, we can assist you to make a decision about your treatment options. A call to The Turning Point, and completing our pre-registration assessment will help to provide you with the options most suited to complete a safe detox. Our Doctor will undertake the medical assessment to determine the exact course of your detox programme. Working with the doctor and our staff will ensure your withdrawal symptoms are closely monitored and adjusted when necessary, making the process easier for you. The detox plan will provide a safe and comfortable withdrawal process. With alcohol and certain prescription drugs, stopping their use without being supervised can be dangerous and potentially life threatening. While in treatment you will receive individual and group counseling with our A.O.D Clinician, where you will be treated on the emotional parts of your addiction. This offers you further insight into your disease and guides you into a full recovery.
It is important to keep in mind that detox is just the initial step on the long road of recovery. Detox marks the abrupt ending of alcohol and drug intake and is necessary for the body to cleanse itself of all traces of these substances. The detox process usually takes 7 to 10 days Alcohol but those detoxing from meth, cocaine, speed etc. could take between 14 to 21 days approx. Should you be wishing to detox from Opiates or Benzo's this could take anywhere from 3 to 12 months the length will be determined at your first medical assessment.
Our programme is highly structured, the duration can vary from 30 days to 90 days, depending on the individuals needs. Our residential community is therapeutically based and our programme offers both individual and group therapy. The 12 Step programme forms a significant part of the treatment. We also focus on re-socialisation, guiding you in every step back out into the real world, living a life of total abstance from mood altering substances.
As each guest progresses through the programme, our clinical team will not only develop a Relapse Prevention Plan with you, but also offer a Continuing Aftercare Plan. All guests completing the 30 day Residential Program qualify for our 24 Month Continuing Care Program at no extra cost. The 24 Month Continuing Care Program operates on Mondays and Fridays.

To all who participated--and there were many--by volunteering and/or having their kids join us at the Solidarity School this past week, as well as joining the picket line, we are deeply grateful. I think I'm speaking for all the volunteers when I say that it's been a profound experience in connecting with our community in this unique way as well as loads of fun connecting with our kids! On Thursday and Friday, the Solidarity School hosted between 20-25 kids and I think it's safe to say that they enjoyed themselves and may have even learned a thing or two. Meanwhile on the picket line, teachers, parents, kids, neighbors and community sang, danced and showed incredible support and energy.
We are now working on staffing for the next week and are in need of volunteers, especially for Monday and Tuesday. Please volunteer if you're able. We are committed to keeping the Solidarity School open but cannot unless we have enough volunteers. Additionally, next week will bring rain, and our picket line will welcome your warmth to keep the fire burning.
Monday, we need 3 more in the morning and 2 more in the afternoon.
Tuesday, we need 6 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
See pictures of our teachers & community on the picket line as well as the amazing short documentary that a Sequoia parent created about the strike.

I am in a new relationship. In most ways it is great. But there is one thing that bothers me uncontrollably. Just before we got together my girlfriend was dating someone else. It got a little intimate, but he didn't follow through. Then she met me. She kept talking to him, but was open and honest with both of us. He was a friend, she was dating me. Then he tried something sexual with her.
Yes, after she told him about me, he got very sexual and suggestive in his conversations with her. She was very honest with me and told me all about it. Things that happened made it obvious to me wht his motives were (to get her back) but she was unsure. She felt he was joking, and that's just the place he was at in dealing with losing the romantic aspect of the relationship.
It bothers me that she never hung up on him. She eventually asked him to stop, but only after I asked. She tried to let him know where she was at with me, but has always seemed (in my thinking) to soften it as if she's afraid to hurt him. He is a little messed up and has told her she is the only friend he has to talk to. As far as I know, he still talks to her about his very personal problems.
We have had many fights about this. It's about the only thing we've ever fought about, or at least it's at the root of it all. I can't stand to think that she kept him as a friend, even after knowing how much it tears me up inside. She want's me to accept that she loves me (though she struggles to share her true feelings for me) and accept she only feels for him as a friend. She won't choose to walk away from him, I can't walk away from her, but I can't stand him being in her life. I am convinced he has ulterior motives, but she is convinced he's somehow over them. I don't think he's healthy minded enough to get over them.
It is a stalemate. If it comes up again, she will walk out on the conversation. I am all eaten up inside, and I see no solution. I need help. She is incredible to me, and she cares about me (but I don't think I'm incredible to her).
I wish I could accept it but I can't get over it. I've thought about walking away, and I don't have problems dating, butI've never met someone as special to me as her. Other than this she is so wonderful. I am totally stuck, and totally exhausted emotionally. It's a stalemate, and I loose no matter what I choose.
I've been there. At your age, in a brand new relationship, I had the same stuff come up in the first few months. And it almost did in the relationship.
I know what you mean by being uncontrollably affected by the situation. My anxiety was very high. I felt extremely insecure.
However, despite all that, probably because I knew on some level I had inner insecurities at the root of it all — I decided to treat the situation differently than trying to get her to stop talking to the "threatening" other man.
I realized my behavior was the real threat to our relationship, when I tried to "put her in my jail" by not talking to the other guy. I wanted a soul mate, not a cell mate. So what was I doing? And I didn't just want a stale mate.
Regardless of whatever else was going on in the situation, I was actually the person throwing some major problem into the relationship for her to deal with. It was mostly based on my own source of anxiety, my own insecurities.
Sure, the other guy had motives. Sure, she would try to be reassuring. And, sure, in reality, there is always a risk in love. And the more important the love — the more it grabs you at your core — the more anxiety you can feel, once you start heading down the road of insecurity.
But the other actual reality that even I could not dispute was that I was behaving in a way that would drive any sane woman away from me, i.e. trying to control her. Love is meant to be free, as they say. Not put into a jail cell. Soul mates or cell mates? What works, really?
So I woke up to an entirely different way of dealing with the situation. That was to work with the inner part of me that got so darn insecure when I was finally in a relationship with a woman who meant everything to me. The only issue I could ever "control" was within me, not her.
Once I spoke that realization to her, she was very impressed I was willing to do some personal and emotional growth. And that actually made our relationship more solid and built real intimate emotional trust. Because, frankly, it is rather rare to find a guy who is willing to see, own and deal with his insecurities and inner anxiety. Mostly, women have come to expect that is a burdon (to soothe the guy's insecure anxieties) that they have to bear. And, frankly, they come to resent it.


It was a sad delight to see Sean Maitland score on his first outing for Scotland. Hopefully Maitland will continue to remind us of the way his potential was not fully developed or indeed recognized here in New Zealand. The problems of Zac Guildford, the injury to Corey Jane, the continuing injury concerns of Richard Kahui, the inability to consistently focus of Hosea Ger, let alone the lack of a long-term back-up to Conrad Smith all point to a potential crisis in our outside backs. As he showed in 2011, Maitland is a world-class player- and he was- and is- still young. All of us who lived through the Canterbury quakes know that they affected everyone in different ways- and that 2012 was in many ways the hardest year as the adrenalin of constant fear wore off and the brutal reality of mundane life here took hold.
I am not saying that that was the main reason behind Maitland's drop in form but he was not from down here and so would not have had the single-minded provincialism and desire to stay come-what-may of other players in the Canterbury and Crusaders franchises. More concerningly, two young, highly talented players found themselves in the outer. Were Guildford and Maitland ever really a good fit for the Crusaders? Likewise the way Israel Dagg played for most of last season signalled a young man not totally focused and happy to be here. That is understandable for it is a city that, if not exactly dynamic before the quakes, has become increasingly provincial and limited post-quakes. Yet there is something more. Can the Crusaders only develop young backs to a certain level- especially if they are not from down here? Look at the way Tim Bateman has developed as player at the Hurricanes since his return from Japan. Is Canterbury only a backs incubator now, a type of conditioning paddock that then needs to send imported talented young backs out to other franchises and unions?
Todd Blackadder is an excellent forwards coach, but the question is what is happening with the backs? How are these young backs managed, understood, and developed after the first couple of years.
Of the the very young backline, the question needs to be raised as who mentors them consistently? It can't be resident All Blacks, for their status is too high and they are often absent. Rather it needs to be older, top-level players who may have once been- or briefly been All Blacks, but are not any longer. In the forwards that role is held by George Whitelock who continues that stellar role of 'almost players'- such as Don Hayes, Angus Gardiner, Matt Sexton, Rob Penney. In the backs however we only have Andy Ellis- and at half back he is too close in to perform that role. He is also looking to still be an All Black and so understandably his focus is elsewhere. Therefore the revitalization of Crusaders back play requires the buying in of an 'old pro'- ideally from outside New Zealand.
Everything that made Robbie such a great coach at provincial level is what makes his life difficult at international level. For the international coach has to, in effect, forget all that made them a success at provincial level and start again with a new ethos at international level. For you are dealing with players who are the products of coaching systems and environments that you have no control over. It is clear that Deans is still thinking like a provincial coach- and as long as he does that the Australians will never achieve the success they should. Ewan McKenzie is the international coach in waiting.


Thomas, just stay away from that guy named John, and everything will be OK! I'm sure your luck will change.
Hard to do, he keeps showing up everywhere. That guy get around.
Maybe you should file a complaint with William and get him banned.
Has someone located a spammer on the board?
Yeah. Thomas thinks its that guy named John. Said he seems to be everywhere.
The rev of boards that I have from Frank's last buy is v1.4, and definitely has 8 connections. I know that he didn't update the schematic on his website.
I have yet to get the latest order. I'm hoping to hear that Frank starts shipping them this week, but probably not in enough time to get them before the Welding workshop this weekend.
Thanks again for the clairification on the boards. That is good news.
I hope Frank recovers soon from his massive marathon bicycle ride this past weekend, and starts shipping the boards out soon.
Got my shipping notice on the boards from Frank! YeePee ! They are finally on the way!
After reading the last post from this John guy that keeps popping up everywhere I had to go and check my e-mail. I'm with you John mine are on the way too. Can't way to get the fire going again to heat up the old soldering iron.
I would like to invite you guys to a soldering party at my house when the LEDs and boards come in. I have 16 of them to assemble. Also, I have 3 each 50% assembled Lynx Express, and 16 SSR4s coming in. I should buy a pick and place and wave soldering machine.
Then again, I could ship this stuff to John and get him to assemble them at 50 cents a board (highway robbery if you ask me).
Remember Al you get what you pay for. Bad solder joint, cold solder joint, etc. You spend more time repairing than doing it yourself.
Well dang, Thomas. Al was bad enough with the knife in the back, but you had to go and really twist it.
I was going to offer to ship my digital soldering station to Al to have on hand for his "party", but I'm rethinking that now.
That looks nice John wish i had one like that.
Now John, don't get your BVDs all wadded up. I understand you are a businessman and willing to negotiate. This is my final offer and Deb is mad at me for offering it, $1 per board. My Chinese engineers think that I am crazy to offer you such an exorbitant rate, but, we are friends after all. If you don't want it, I can always get those unemployed Nike sweatshop kids to handle this nastiness. They are unemployed due to the bad press. I would far prefer to keep my money in country. I anxiously and humbly await your reply.
Of course I will need proof of a surety bond but that should go without saying.

Drama is a particular strength of BIS-NY and at The British International School of New York is incorporated both through the curriculum for all students and as an extra curricular endeavor. Each year, our full-scale two annual musical productions are open to students in Years 4 through 9, but there are also a number of smaller, but no less impressive endeavors by students in the lower school.
Rehearsals take place after school, where our actors learn lines, music, choreography, blocking, and develop characters. With this comes learning about responsibility, making new friends, and celebrating each other's talents.
Let's not forget the students who participate off the stage, with the set design club, backstage crew, and the young musicians whose dedication behind the scenes has allowed magic to happen on stage. Students are transformed into makers and builders!
Teamwork, risk taking, commitment, and laughter by all contribute to make each show a success whatever the age of our players and backstage crew! Past productions have included Annie, The Lion King, Peter Pan, Beauty & the Beast, Willy Wonka and Bugsy Malone.

New varieties of potato reaching marketplace
jagaimo じゃがいも
At Koganezaki Farm at the foot of Mt. Iwaki in the Tsugaru region of Aomori Prefecture, workers have started harvesting many varieties of potatoes - red and purple spuds with skins that are either unusually bumpy or quite smooth.
The garden farm, which is operated by Koganezaki-farm, produces about 30 varieties of potato and sells them as a package containing five to 10 different types under the name of Tasting Potato, including such unfamiliar names as the Destroyer and Shadow Queen.
"Each type has a different taste, so we want consumers to select the appropriate variety depending on the dishes they are preparing," said Katsuko Nakamura, in charge of sales at the farm.
The Japanese potato market has long been dominated by two varieties - Danshaku and May Queen - in sharp contrast with other fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, apples and strawberries, for which new kinds are created all the time.
However, the situation has begun to change recently. Varieties called Cynthia, Chérie and Inka-no Mezame (or Inca's awakening, a seed potato from the Andes) are among the newcomers whose output has been increasing rapidly over the past several years. "A number of new varieties will be developed in the future," said Kimio Sasaki, who is responsible for overseeing operations at the farm.
The most promising of all is the Cynthia - an egg-shaped potato with a very smooth skin, thanks to the fine starch it contains. It is also easy to peel and quick to absorb seasonings, but does not become mushy when boiled. In March 2000, Kirin Agribio Co. and Koganezaki-farm jointly set up Japan Potato Corp., which sells seed potatoes including for the Cynthia and Chérie varieties.
Production of the Cynthia variety this fiscal year is estimated at about 3,000 metric tons, up 25% from a year earlier, and is expected to reach 4,500 tons next year, accounting for only a small percentage of total output. "We want Cynthia to grab about half the market shares from May Queen and Danshaku in 10 years," said Takao Aoki, chief executive officer of Japan Potato.

Quote from the Japan Times
Ice maker fearing a global thaw
By KO HIRANO
MINANO, Saitama Pref. — Tetsuo Asami in Nagatoro
As many as 100,000 people from Japan and abroad visit Tetsuo Asami's shaved ice parlor every summer in Minano, a small town in the Chichibu region of Saitama Prefecture, seeking out his products that use naturally frozen ice and are known for their rich taste.
Although Asami, 58, is happy with the thriving business, the threat of global warming makes him unsure whether he will still be able to make natural ice a decade from now.
"I think our customers travel all the way to Chichibu for shaved ice because they sense that they may not be able to eat it in 10 years' time given rising temperatures and deterioration in the environment of the mountains" which generate nutritious water for natural ice, Asami said.
Running the 117-year-old family business, Asami is one of only four existing natural ice makers in Japan, down from some 100 around the 1930s. The three others operate in Tochigi Prefecture.
"Given the major climate change I have seen in recent years, such as warm winters, it has become increasingly difficult to make decent natural ice," Asami said, citing his family records that show average temperatures in January in Chichibu have risen 3.5 degrees over the past 40 years.
Records by Asami's father from 1960 to 1991 show that there were many days in winter when temperatures hit minus 12 to minus 15 at 6 a.m., allowing him to "harvest" ice in December and then once again in January every year.
But since Asami took over the business in 1992, he has seen only three days or so when local temperatures fell below minus 10, making it difficult for him to harvest ice twice a season.
The declining quantity of ice has forced Asami to halt the shipment of natural ice to bars, hotels and department stores in Tokyo. Today, he only serves shaved ice at his parlor from March through November.
Natural ice forms only when it becomes very cold. Snow, meanwhile, damages the taste of the ice. With its favorable climate, the Chichibu area has long been an ideal place for making ice, in which workers form ice in ponds after drawing water from mountain streams.
"I'm very worried about the future of natural ice-making if the climate continues to change at the current pace," Asami said.
Asami believes the leadership of the United States — the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter along with China — is vital if the world is to address global warming.

Is the financials sector priced for disruption?
Low interest rates are one reason why the financials sector is lowly valued, and the prospect of disruption may be another.
Rory Bateman
Head of Equities
We think all industries are likely to be vulnerable to disruption in the coming years. We've seen it already in retail and media, for example, and this is likely to be a growing theme in markets for the long term.
Financials, and banks in particular, are currently facing disruption to their business models. We can see this to some extent in valuations already.
The chart below shows that the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) for the global developed market stock index, the MSCI World, is 17.4x (as at 31 May 2019) while financials are the most cheaply valued sector at 12.4x. Within financials, banks are even cheaper, with an average P/E ratio of just 10.1x.
The price-to-earnings ratio is a commonly-used valuation metric that divides a company's price per share by its earnings (profits) per share. A higher number indicates a more highly-valued company.
We think the current relatively low valuation of financials partly reflects the threat of disruption to banks' existing business models. This largely comes from new technology and new online businesses that are supplanting banks' traditional services. Consumers are becoming more confident in seeking different solutions, often technology-based, to their banking and insurance requirements.
There are other reasons why banks are so cheaply valued. Chief among these is the low interest rate environment that has been in place since the 2008-09 global financial crisis.
Low interest rates put pressure on banks' net interest income. This is the difference between money generated from assets (e.g. interest charged on loans to customers) and money the banks themselves pay out to customers (e.g. interest paid on savings).
However, we think disruption is also being reflected in valuations and it's a theme that's here to stay.
Market views
Why growth stocks look vulnerable
The divergence between growth and value parts of the market has been extreme and could be due a turnaround.
Why 2019 might be a better year for investors

13 Words That Knocked Out Spelling Bee Finalists
BY Jennifer M Wood
The 87th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee ended in a draw! Sriram Hathwar (right) and Ansun Sujoe are the first co-champions since 1962. If this year's Bee inspires you to brush up on your spelling, here are some words that have knocked out recent runners-up.
1. Schwarmerei, 2012 & 2004.
Note to future contestants: Learn the correct spelling of this German origin noun, which means excessive sentimentality, as it has knocked out two contestants in the final round in the past decade. One was 13-year-old Akshay Buddiga in 2004, who had famously fainted on stage only to get back up and correctly spell "alopecoid" earlier in the competition.
2. Sorites, 2011.
Concluding that there was a "p" at the beginning of this noun, which is a type of argument that has several successive premises leading to one conclusion, was the undoing of Canadian Laura Newcombe.
3. Terribilita, 2010.
An expression of intense anger or emotion, particularly in the conception or execution of a work of art. (Or the losing of a spelling competition? Three students tied for second place in 2010.)
4. Rhytidome, 2010.
The outermost layer of the bark of a tree.
5. Ochidore, 2010.
A little-used word for a shore crab. "Crustacean" would have been so much easier!
6. Menhir, 2009.
An upright stone or monolith, typically of prehistoric origin, knocked one contestant down in 2009.
7. Maecenas, 2009.
A patron of the arts, and nemesis to 12-year-old Tim Ruiter, who tied for second place in 2009.
8. Prosopopoeia, 2008.
A figure of speech in which an imaginary or absent person is speaking or acting caused 12-year-old first-timer Sidharth Chand to disappear in 2008.
9. Coryza, 2007.
A contagious disease affecting the upper respiratory tract. Damn those colds!
10. Weltschmerz, 2006.
A state of depression or apathy as a result of accepting the actual state of the world as opposed to an idealized version. Yep, sounds about right.
11. Roscian, 2005.
An adjective used to describe a skilled actor, a tribute to Roman actor Quintus Roscius Gallus, who died in 62 BC. Like a pre-Julian Philip Seymour Hoffman.
12. Trouvaille, 2004.
Californian Aliya Deri didn't consider this word—meaning windfall—much of a lucky break when it landed her in second place in 2004.
13. Gnathonic, 2003.
The "g" is silent in this adjective (which means fawning or obsequious), which explains its unfortunate omission in eighth-grader Evelyn Blacklock's spelling of it in the final round.
