Watching Italy's crisis, coronavirus fear finally arrives in Britain
As Italy's single-day death toll eclipses even China's worst day, Barbara Serra explains what the UK can learn from Italy's COVID-19 experience.
Temporary mortuaries are being built in London to cope with the expected explosion in coronavirus deaths [Neil Hall/EPA]

London, United Kingdom – Over the past few weeks I have felt that my two national identities were out of sync.
On the one hand, daily life in London went on as usual, the coronavirus outbreak mainly relegated to news bulletins and a few conversations. A concern, sure, but nothing that was likely to affect my fellow Londoners beyond the odd cancelled holiday.
All the while, however, the reports and social media feeds I was getting from Italy told a very different story. The lives of my family and friends were being turned upside down by the COVID-19 outbreak that hit my native Italy more than any other country outside of China. At first it was worrying, then shocking. From a distance, it took a while to realise that what I felt was fear. Now that fear has reached the United Kingdom.
In London, the country's coronavirus hotspot with a third of total recorded deaths, mortuaries are now being expanded. It may not be enough. In the northern Italian city of Bergamo, one of the worst hit by the virus, army vehicles are having to take bodies to nearby provinces as the city's crematorium is no longer able to cope. If Italy has been a few weeks ahead in this crisis, what can the UK learn from the Italian case that will avoid similar chilling images here?

The coronavirus officially hit Italy in mid-February, when the first patient known to be infected within the country was diagnosed. Since then, Italy has been introducing increasingly restrictive measures to try to contain the exponential spread of the disease. The rest of the world, especially its European neighbours, watched aghast as the rate of contagion and deaths rose. The measures Italy took often seemed as shocking as the contagion itself.
First came the lockdown and quarantine of the so-called "Red Zone" around the northern towns affected. Dozens of roadblocks staffed by police, with residents only allowed to leave their homes to get necessities such as food and medicine. It was meant to last two weeks, but on March 8 the quarantine was extended to the whole of the Lombardy region and other provinces, including Milan, Italy's financial heart.
Less than 48 hours later, the quarantine was extended again, this time to the whole of Italy. A country of 60 million people was on lockdown. This was not China; Italy is a liberal Western democracy and people were suddenly not allowed to leave their homes without a valid reason.

It seemed unreal. And for those without direct links to Italy, it remained unreal for many weeks. The question that kept coming up was: "Why Italy?" There is still no clear answer to that. Had the country just been unlucky? Was its ageing population the reason for the high death toll? Are the Italians' more tactile ways of greeting behind the increasing rate of contagion? And the scariest question of all: "Could it happen here?"
Little by little, that final question at least has been answered. Yes, it could happen here. It is happening here. The rate of COVID-19 contagion and deaths is growing exponentially. It is no longer just about hand-washing and vague advice about social distancing.
All schools will close from Friday. Large-scale events have been cancelled. Although churches were still celebrating mass last Sunday, as Pope Francis was pictured walking through an eerily deserted Rome, no public gatherings in churches will happen after Friday evening.
Supermarket shelves are emptying. In Italy there was a run on pasta, in the UK it is toilet paper. Hand sanitisers are like gold dust. Most social gatherings – even small parties organised by the obstinate few who took the second world war morale-boosting message "Keep Calm and Carry On" to mean "Bury Your Head In The Sand" – have been cancelled.
The elderly and vulnerable are in self-isolation for months. But the most important similarity between the UK now and Italy a few weeks ago is that now the British are scared too.
In Italy, the move to national lockdown was gradual, and it may well be the UK's next step.
Coronavirus: How's life under lockdown? (2:34)
When Lombardy was locked down on March 8, Italy had more than 5,800 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 233 deaths. As the UK announced school closures on March 18, it counted 2,626 positive COVID-19 tests and a total death toll of 104. Both had recently seen strong exponential growth in both contagion and deaths.
As the UK seems to follow Italy's lead, the latest death tolls make for particularly grim reading.
On Wednesday, Italy registered the highest death toll in one day, a staggering 475 deaths. Not even China had recorded such a high number of single-day deaths. Does that mean the Italian strategy is not working? It certainly means that we are not yet seeing the peak of the contagion and mortality curve. Even Lombardy, the hardest-hit area where the lockdown was first imposed, is still seeing a growing number of contagions and deaths.
But there is some hope. The province of Lodi, which includes the town of Codogno where Italy's first COVID-19 case was found, has seen a sharp drop in new cases of the virus. In contrast, nearby Bergamo is recording nearly three times as many infections as Lodi. One reason may be that Lodi imposed a total lockdown two weeks before Bergamo did. In the fight against coronavirus, timing is key.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson may want to look at the Lodi case and the shocking pictures of army vehicles taking dozens of dead out of Bergamo, as he decides if and when to impose a lockdown in the UK.

Administrations Response to Anti-Israel Messages Draws Criticism from Students
Elizabeth LaCroix, Managing News Editor
On Sunday morning May 9, chalk writing was seen under the library arcade and on Bates campus buildings, including Commons. The messages displayed were in support of Palestinians in relation to the ongoing Israel and Palestine crisis.
Bates is not the only academic institution where the Israel-Palestine crisis has become a contentious issue. Palestine Legal, an independent organization dedicated to protecting the civil and constitutional rights of people in the U.S. who speak out for Palestinian freedom, reported that about 80% of the 213 reported cases they took on last year were related to U.S. campuses, with students or faculty targeted at 68 different academic institutions.
These messages were prompted by escalations in the Israeli-Palestine conflict which has resulted in hundreds of deaths. A cease-fire has since been brokered, however relations between the two groups remain tense.
Depicted above is the initial chalk graffiti on Commons pictured on May 9. The messages read "Free Palestine" and "[expletive] Zionist Israel." (Gianluca Yornet de Rosas/The Bates Student)
In response to the chalk at Bates, Title IX Officer Gwen Lexow released a message the following Monday which stated, "We have heard from a number of students and some families, expressing deep concern about the impact of the language contained in the flyers and graffiti, particularly on Jewish members of our campus community."
Lexow followed with the information that Bates was conducting an investigation in partnership with the Lewiston Police Department (LPD) to "gather further information" and that they were currently working with Facility Services to erase the chalk. An initial investigation determined the messages did not meet standards to be investigated as a hate crime.
Many students were disappointed with Lexow's email and the involvement of the Lewiston Police.
On Wednesday, May 12, Bates Student Government (BCSG) posted a message signed by various other student clubs and organizations criticizing the response from the Bates administration. "We strongly condemn the recent email sent to the Bates community which alienates Palestinian students by erasing their indigenous struggle, diminishes the pain of Muslim students who watch in horror as their holy site is besieged in the sacred month of Ramadan, and silences all other students exercising their freedom of speech in support of Palestine," the post read.
Additionally, the post expressed concern for the communities of color, and specifically students who are brown, Arab, Middle Eastern, and Muslim, as they believed them to be the most likley targets of the investigation.
Depicted above is the initial chalk graffiti on Commons pictured on May 9. The message reads "Think of where your tax money is going." (George Natsis/The Bates Student)
The message called it "deeply problematic" for Title IX to "disguise their violent policing of students" as a counter to antisemitism when in the past they have failed to protect Jewish students in the past. They reference a reported video that was posted of a student performing the Nazi salute a couple of months ago, which did not receive a public statement from Bates administration, as evidence of this neglect.
Ilana Rosker '23, an active member of the Bates Leftist Coalition (BLC), a group of leftist & anti-capitalist voices at Bates and who signed the statement issued by BCSG, regarded Monday's email from Lexow as "incredibly tone-deaf and apologist." Rosker added that she wished the Bates administration would "name what is happening in Palestine right now: a biopolitical, necropolitical, settler-colonial project of ethnic cleansing, and truly grapple with and see how that project is intimately intertwined with Bates' self-identification as an 'anti-abolitionist, anti-racist' institution."
Alongside Ellie Vance '21 and Solaine Carter '21, Rosker created an informal coalition of students and alumni called "Jewish Voices for Peace in Palestine," who also signed the BCSG statement. Since the Jewish Student Union (JSU) did not want to sign the statement, these students created this informal coalition of anti-Zionist, anti-imperial, and anti-settler-colonialist Jewish advocates.
"As a Jew myself, I know how instrumental the Jewish voice is in this conversation," Rosker told The Student.
A representative for JSU did not return an email request for comment.
Alexi Knight '23, a member of the Restorative and Transformative Justice Coalition (RTJC), also found the email from Lexow and the actions of the administration disappointing. RTJC is a student-run organization founded by the Mediation and Restorative Justice Fellows
(MRJ), as they felt it was necessary to form a group unattached to the administration in the way that MRJ is. BLC reached out to RTJC asking if they were interested in also signing the BCSG statement to which they "were glad to do."
"The graffiti should have never been referred to as a hate crime and should have instead started a conversation about what we as an institution can do to support Palestine, as well as any members of our campus community who may be affected," Knight said.
Depicted above is the initial chalk graffiti on Commons pictured on May 9. The messages read "Free Palestine" and "[expletive] Israel." "[expletive] colonialism" is also partially visible. (George Natsis/The Bates Student)
OutFront — a group focused on promoting and maintaining LGBTQ+ visibility, solidarity, and support — was another organization that signed BCSG's statement. Claudio Jimenez '22, one of OutFront's most prominent members, said that although the leaders of the group cannot speak on behalf of all its members nor the entire LGBTQ+ community on campus, the liberatory struggles from gay liberation to Palestinian liberation are inseparable. "In my personal opinion, no one is free until everyone is free," Jimenez remarked.
Students not directly affiliated with clubs or organizations also spoke out against Lexow's email and the administration's response to the chalking. In the days following the chalking and the email, Ayah Ghazi '23 became a prominent voice in speaking against the actions of the administration.
Not long after Lexow sent the email on Monday, Ghazi sent a response to Lexow where she expressed her disappointment and shame she felt attending Bates.
"As a Palestinian-American student who has watched her family suffer under the occupation of the Israeli government, I feel ashamed to attend an institution that has yet to take a meaningful stance on what is happening in Palestine as we speak and ashamed to belong to a school that can't stand up to basic human rights," Ghazi wrote.
Ghazi told The Student that she decided to send the email to Lexow because of its apparent "selective activism" by offering support to Jewish students and not for those who are grieving for Palestinian families.
"Also, Gwen cannot assume that the Jewish community is a monolith in which every Jewish student on this campus expresses the same concern that anti-Zionism is antisemitism," she said.
Screenshots of Ghazi's email circulated around social media pages during the days after it was sent, and many students reposted the email on their Instagram stories to share their support.
This photo, which was taken on the Alumni Walk side of Roger Williams Hall, was taken on May 17. The graffiti reads "Stop murdering Palestine Children" multiple times with "Censored" overlaying the text. (Vanessa Paolella/The Bates Student)
When asked what the Bates administration could have done differently when the chalk first appeared, Ghazi said they should have educated themselves before sending an email out to students. "Policing the voices of students who are protesting against genocide should be considered the hate crime in this case," she said.
On Friday May 14, Lexow sent another message to the Bates community, this time announcing the termination of the investigation and offering an explanation for the college's actions. Lexow detailed the events leading up to the initiation of the investigation, communicating that the college received a call from someone who reported an antisemitic hate crime had occurred on campus in reference to the chalk on Commons. The email did not specify whether that someone was a student or another community member.
Since a hate crime was reported, the college was required under the Maine human rights law to verify the chalk writing did in fact exist and inform LPD. The LPD then informed the Maine Attorney General who was responsible for completing the case's review. The Attorney General's office then determined that the case did not require further investigation and it was subsequently closed.
"It is important to understand that the process is required, and it is designed to make certain allegations of hate crimes are not ignored or dismissed," Lexow wrote.
In Friday's email, Lexow also announced that on the following Thursday, May 20, the Office of Equity and Inclusion and the Multifaith Chaplaincy would be holding space for grief and healing.
"This has been a difficult week on campus, and deeply painful for those who have connections to Israel and Palestine and who have Islamic, Arab, and Jewish identities … I hope that we can begin to seek each other out for support and compassionately acknowledge and engage with the challenges and pain of this moment," Lexow concluded.
Despite the administration's attempt to clarify their actions and Lexow's previous email, many students were still upset and felt that the second email was unsuccessful in regaining their support.
"Prominent Palestinian student advocates simply sought an apology. They did not receive one. Thus, the second email failed," Rosker told The Student.
Knight felt similarly, believing that Bates should have taken full accountability for the harm they have done to students on campus, adding that Bates should "publicly denounce Israel's government and violent actions."
More chalk carrying similar messages appeared on campus buildings again on Monday, May 17. When The Student asked if the administration was willing to comment on the new chalk writing, they chose to provide no comment and emphasized the opportunity for students to share their perspectives on May 20.
"The first course of action Bates must take is a public apology along with a show of support to the students who were completely disregarded in the first email sent by Gwen Lexow," Ghazi advised. "Bates must create a permanent safe space for students of middle east origin [sic] to feel welcomed and included."

Investigating and erasing graffitti is "violent policing" to people who have never been subjected to actual violence or actual policing. As to trash as coarsely-expressed-political-sentiment, "fck zionism" is not particularly hateful, nor would be anu similarly expressed "fck ____" (insert political target for scorn in blank space). It's merely performance-art as a kind of anonymous social bullying and nothing more. That's the thing about bigotry. It always was a way of bullying people. Now we have performative outrage over trivia masking as anti-bigotry, again for the purpose of bullying people.
The proper response of the actual grown ups in Bates Admin is to properly disregard the graffitti with no comment, and send a custodian with a mop and bucket.
The proper response for students with a well informed opinion is to find some form of political activity other than poisoning your own well. Yeah, Bates has been at the forefront of emancipation pretty much forever. Just because you're outraged about something else does not mean that Bates loses credibilty for not being ahead of you on the outrage-as-performance-art indoctrination.

The references listed at the end of this article are biased. Whoever thought Al-Jazeera could offer an objective timeline of the "history of Palestine", especially considering they omit the first 2400 years of history since the term's coining by Herodotus. Anyhow, they also manage to omit the Nebi Musa riots of 1920, or the Hebron massacres later in that decade, neither of which were provoked by "anti-immigration" sentiment but instead simply stirred up xenophobic hatred of the Jews who have lived in the region for 3000 years.
Likewise, if you're going to refer readers to something by the famously anti-Israel BBC, then you ought to post something to balance it, say from Israel Hayom.
And the Jewish Voice for Peace represents a small sliver of Jewish sentiment, to put it a the top is a severe misrepresentation that I cannot see in any way other than to interpret it to be intentional. It's about as helpful to an uninformed reader as putting up a link to the JDL website would be.
You know, unless you really just don't want to give any space for readers to become informed and develop their own opinions. Then all of what you did would be fine. But you should not post this article as "news", but rather as "opinion", which is exactly correct in this case.

RumChata Cheesecake Pudding Shots are so delicious! They are almost like a dessert so be careful not to get confused and forget about the alcohol in these yummy treats!!
RumChata Cheesecake Pudding Shots are a great little adult treat for your holiday party or anytime of year!! If you are not familiar with Rumchata, it is a liqueur with the flavor of rice pudding, a favorite in Mexico.
I topped the shot with whipped cream. These are a little thicker than your usual pudding shot so you either have to squish the cup or use a spoon! I would use a spoon to get every last drop! These RumChata Cheesecake Pudding Shots are really more like a dessert to me than your regular Jello shot. Sometimes that's not such a good thing because it's hard to have just one or two. So be careful with these babies and enjoy!
Another fun Jello shot! You can never have too many different Jello shot flavors. This is a fun Holiday flavor. RumChata Cheesecake Pudding Shots are so delicious! They are almost like a dessert so be careful not to get confused and forget about the alcohol in these yummy treats!!
Whisk together the milk, Rumchata, and instant pudding mix in a bowl until combined.
Garnish with graham cracker crumbs if desired or whipping cream.

Waiting has endless forms and colours, it is a state that we do not like to show anymore in our busy western world. Visual reflection on these overridden moments of indecisiveness, anxiety, desire or frustration was the starting point for her artistic life.
Since the terror attacks on the undergound in London, where living at the time as a "fresh"mother, Katharina Ang has begone to explore street photography. While photographing people on the streets in West-London and in these metrostations Katharina Ang asked herself if their posture leaves room for speculations. After the attacs in NewYork, London and then Paris and Berlin, appearance and postures of people became even more stigmaticed.

Not only the images presented leaves questions on the story telling side, but also the creation is leaving uncetainty about the medium, graphic or photography or inkdrawings. A question well liked by the artist underlying in the method the feeling of doubt.

Polar Code: MS BREMEN receives Polar Ship Certificate
#expeditioncruising .
Polar Code: MS BREMEN becomes one of the first passenger ships in the world to receive the Polar Ship Certificate
· It will be mandatory for ships operating in the polar regions to have the certificate from January 2018
· The extensive preparatory phase lasts two years
· All other ships in the fleet will receive the certification in future
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' 4-star expedition cruise ship, the 155-passenger MS BREMEN has become one of the first passenger ships in the world to receive the Polar Ship Certificate which will be mandatory for ships operating in the polar regions. Following a two-year long phase of intense preparation, finally the Polar Code certification has been awarded. All of the other ships in the fleet are also due to meet the requirements of the Polar Code by the Arctic season in 2018.
The International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code) – adopted by the International Maritime Organisation – contains regulations concerning the ships' construction, equipment and training and their crews that intend to operate in the polar regions. Issued by the classification society DNV GL, the Polar Ship Certificate confirming compliance with the Polar Code will be mandatory for all ships from January 2018. The Polar Code is intended to increase the safety of ships and pay greater attention to environmental protection.
"The Polar Code will improve the safety of navigation in polar waters significantly. We have taken a pioneering step in certifying the BREMEN and paved the way for the other ships in the fleet of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises to comply with the Polar Code. I am happy to have contributed", says Captain Thilo Natke, who oversaw the certification process for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. Natke prepared a Polar Water Operational Manual that will, in particular, familiarise younger officers with the ship-specific particularities of navigating in ice.
Certain technical modifications have to be carried out on board the ships in order for them to meet the requirements of the Polar Code. For instance, fire lines located on deck were fitted with additional insulation and an additional ice spotlight was installed when the BREMEN was in dock in October 2016. A wide range of extra equipment has also been sourced in order to ensure the survival of passengers and crew members in potential emergencies in the polar regions. During 2017, as part of their routine dry-dock periods in the shipyard, the other ships in the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' fleet will also be brought in line with the criteria of the certificate in order that they meet the requirements of the Polar Code at the latest by the Arctic season in 2018 and are able to operate in the regions successfully.
BREMEN will be operating three international cruises during the 2018/2019 season, including sailing to the North East Passage in the Summer of 2018.

New York's Oldest Inmate Charles Friedgood Granted Parole at 89
Charles Friedgood, New York's oldest prisoner at n 89-year-old has been granted parole. The former heart surgeon was convicted of killing his wife more than 30 years ago and was serving a 25-years-to-life sentence.
He was convicted in 1976 of injecting his wife, Sophie, with a fatal dose of the painkiller Demerol the year before. He was arrested at Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to flee the country with more than $450,000 in cash, securities and valuables from his wife's estate.
Friedgood, who has terminal cancer, had been denied parole five times, most recently last month. But the Division of Parole, in an unusual move, ordered a new hearing, citing a pending court case regarding Friedgood's denial of parole in 2005. The board that paroled him was not the same one that rejected his plea for release in October.
Board members who voted to release him cited his good prison record and support from some family members and the prosecuting attorney. The dissenting board member, Chris Ortloff, said the deadly injection was especially heinous because Friedgood was a doctor sworn to save lives.
Friedgood is one of the fasting growing segments of the prison population: older prisoners. These prisonsers cost two to three times the cost of younger prisoners to hold. They also represent a fraction of the risk of recidivism, which greatly reflects a drop in risk with age. New York is one of the states with the largest populations of older and geriatric prisoners.

OLDHAM, PHILLIP A.
PHILLIP A. OLDHAM U.S. Marine Corps WWII
Street Address: 32 Meadow Place
Service Number: 0-21113
Branch of Service: U.S. Marine Corps - First Raider Battalion, First Marine Raider Regiment
Veteran Code: KIA-51
Philip A. Oldham
Philip A. Oldham was born in Connecticut on December 15, 1913. He was the son of George C. Oldham and Amelie Oldham. His father was born in India and his mother was born in France. He had one older brother, Peter, and six younger sisters named Faith, Hope, Isabel, Eloise, Irene and Libby.
The family lived at 32 Meadow Place in Rye and were members of the Presbyterian Church. Philip was a Rye High School Graduate, Class of 1932. He served as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II.
It was in January, 1941, that Lieut. Oldham enlisted 4n the Marine Corps at Philadelphia. Assigned to Parris Island, S. C, for his boot training, he volunteered for service in the Raider Battalion and was sent to Quantico, Va. , for specialized training before going abroad. Closely associated with him at Quantico and in the Southwest Pacific was Captain Edwin Wheeler, of Port Chester.
Lieut. Oldham was a member of the famous First Marine Raider Battalion, known as Edsons Raiders and won his commission through conspicuous courage and leadership.
His citation was given in recognition of the qualities of leadership and bravery during the attack on and Battle of Tulagi, S. I. from 7 to 10 August, 1942, and he was promoted from the rank of sergeant to that of platoon sergeant for his proven competence to handle men under combat conditions. He was also cited for meritorious conduct in action at the Battle for Edson's Ridge on Guadalcanal, where he served for 14 months. His ability as a leader was later rewarded by the granting of a commission.
Philip A. Oldham became a Second Lieutenant of the First Raider Battalion, First Marine Raider Regiment. The Marine Raiders were elite units established by the United States Marine Corps during World War II to conduct amphibious light infantry warfare, particularly in landing in rubber boats and operating behind the lines.
Edson's Raiders of 1st Marine Raiders Battalion are said to be the first United States special operations forces to form and see combat in World War II. The Battle of Enogai was a battle between United States and Imperial Japanese Army and Navy forces on 10-11 July 1943 during the New Georgia Campaign in the Solomon Islands during the Pacific War. In the battle, U. S. Marine Raiders, supported by two United States Army infantry battalions, attacked and destroyed a Japanese garrison guarding the small port of Enogai on the Dragons Peninsula on New Georgia.
At 1100 on 7/9/1943, Lieutenant Oldham was at the head of the column and sighted Leland Lagoon, turned right, and began cautiously to advance along the ridge toward Enogai. Continuing onward, by about 1500 the column had advanced to within 750 yards of Enogai, still undetected, and the Raiders began to get that indescribably upbeat feeling of an impending complete surprise over the enemy. Shortly, however, the good feelings vanished, as they heard the chatter of two Japanese light machine guns opening fire on the lead company.
Second Lieutenant Philip A. Oldhams 3rd Platoon had encountered an enemy strong point comprising a well dug-in rifle platoon and two machine guns. In the first burst of fire, four men were wounded, two critically, and one, Private, first class, Martin Flaum, was killed. Oldham, a veteran of Guadalcanal and one of those commissioned recently, crawled within a few yards of the nest and tossed his grenades. He was killed as he sought to rejoin his men. His feat, however, removed the last serious obstacle to Enogai and the Marines rushed in.
Oldhams Raiders had been well trained and, notwithstanding the loss of their commander and platoon sergeant, reacted like the professionals they were. Quickly deploying to the right and left of the survivors of the point squad, they responded in kind with their rifles and automatic weapons, and soon a steady roar of firing punctuated by the explosions of grenades could be heard from both sides as they destroyed the Japanese garrison.
Philip A. Oldham would be awarded the Silver Star.
The citation follows: "Philip A. Oldham, Second Lieutenant, United States Marine Corps Reserve, for gallantry in action at Enogai, New Georgia, Solomon Island, on 9 July 1943. Rather than call for volunteers to attack three machine guns that were blocking an advance on an enemy position with vicious cross-fire, he crawled forward alone and wiped out one of the guns and its crew. Lieutenant Oldhams bold act drew fire immediately and he was killed by a burst from another gun. his courage and self-sacrifice so infused his men with fierce determination that within a half hour after his death all of the guns retarding the advance had been knocked out of action."
Mr. and Mrs. Oldham also received the Presidential Citation carrying three stars representing the major engagements in which Lieutenant Oldham participated.
At the time of his death, besides his parents, Lieut. Oldham was survived by one brother, George Peter Oldham, of Port Chester, and six sirters, Miss Faith Oldham, a nurse at Presbyterian Hospital, New York, Mrs. Philip H. Heyel, Jr. , Port Chester; Mrs. Edwin J. Major, Long Island; and Irene, Eloise, and Mary Elizabeth of the home address.
Lieut. Oldham was the sixth Rye man officially reported lost in action.
Philip A. Oldham's remains were eventually returned to the U.S. He was buried with full military honors at Long Island National Cemetery in East Farmingdale, NY, Plot J 13593

Lieut. Philip Oldham Killed in Action in South Pacific
Another gold star was added this week to Ryes honor roll opposite the name of 2nd Lieut. Philip A. Oldham, U. S. M. C, 28-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Oldham, 32 Meadow Place, killed in combat in the Southwest Pacific. Formal notification of Lieut. Oldhams death was received on Saturday from Lieut. General Thomas Holcomb, U. S. Marine Corps Commandant, and was followed on Wednesday by a letter of praise of his heroic services. General Holcomb wrote: It is a source of profound regret to me and to his brother officers of the Corps that your son, 2nd Lieut. Philip Ambrose Oldham, United States Marine Corps Reserve, lost his life in action against the enemies of his country and I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and members of your family in your great loss. There is little I can say to lessen your grief but it is my earnest hope that the knowledge of your sons splendid record in the service and the thought that he nobly gave his life in the performance of his duty may in some measure comfort you in this sad hour. Member Edsons Raiders Lieut. Oldham was a member of the famous First Marine Raider Battalion, known as Edsons Raiders and won his commission through conspicuous courage and leadership. He was cited or meritorious conduct in action at Guadalcanal, where he served for 14 months.

Four years with the Canadian troops found him in battles from the Somme to the second battle of Eprea.

Oldham enlisted 4n the Marine Corps at Philadelphia. Assigned to Parris Island, S. C, for his boot training, he volunteered for service in the Raider Battalion and was sent to Quantico, Va. , for specialized training before going abroad.

RYE, NEW YORK FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1943.
LIEUT. PHILIP OLDHAM KILLED AFTER BLOWING UP JAP MACHINE GUN NEST
Delayed dispatches from two Marine Corps combat correspondents reveal that 2nd Lieut. Philip A. Oldham was killed in the battle of Munda, when he crawled within grenade-throwing distance of a Japanese machine-gun nest and blew it up along with a score of Japs. A column of Marines to which Lieut. Oldham was attached was trying to capture Ehogai and establish a northern prong of a steel pincers that would outflank the enemy held air base at Munda. The leathernecks were about 600 yards from their objective when heavy fire from the hidden machine guns stopped them. Oldham, a veteran of Guadalcanal and one of those commissioned recently, crawled within a few yards of the nest and tossed his grenades. He was killed as he sought to rejoin his men. His feat, however, removed the last serious obstacle to Enogai and the Marines rushed in. After the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor, friends said Oldham had but one ambition and that was to get into the scrap. He said he hoped he would kill at least 500 Japs, one of his former fellow workers in Philadelphia said. The son of Mr. and Mrs. George Oldham of 32 Meadow Place, Lieut. Oldham was working and living in Philadelphia when he enlisted in the Marine Corps on January 28, 1942. The story of his heroism came through two former Philadelphia newspaper reporters, Technical Sergeants Murrey Marder and Frank J McDevitt. Cited by Commanding General Lieut. Oldham was cited by his Commanding General for achievement in the face of danger in action earlier this year. The citation accompanying the commendation reads: For conduct and achievement in the face of danger on reconnaissance missions, Lieut. Oldham was a member of a reconnaissance party consisting of three men, During these patrols, the party traversed many miles of jungle on foot and many miles on water, often being in close proximity to enemy patrols and camps. As a result of their initiative, daring and cool judgment, these men were able to obtain valuable information useful for future operations. Lieut. Oldhams conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

I am a niece of Phillip Oldham and am glad to learn more of his dedication and sacrifice. I never had the honor of meeting him so this information means a great deal. 2nd Lt. Oldham's contribution is a source of pride for his family. His death at so young an age is our loss.

Reviewer: Meredith Miskowich from Stringbead@aol.com
I never met Uncle Phil but do know that he was loved and admired by everyone who did. This article is the first time I have learned about his death
My mother, Irene, his younger sister, told me that he was killed by a Japanese sniper in a tree. I had no idea of his bravery. In fact, not until 1984, when a family friend met Major General (ret) Ed Wheeler, at a party, did the rest of his siblings know the extent of his mission in the Solomon Islands. He provided information and many photos, of which I have copies. It was with joy and sadness the family welcomed the information 40 years after their terrible loss.

The Real Princess Zelda: Patricia Summersett talks to Pause Resume
First up for Pause Resume Q3 is Craig's interview with Princess Zelda herself Patricia Summersett.
Patricia took on the enviable task of being the first voice actress for Princess Zelda, an iconic video game character that has played an integral part of The Legend of Zelda series for over three decades.
In recent years though it's been made clear that both the Zelda series and Nintendo had to move with the times, which meant finally introducing audio voices to a series that has been mute ever since it made its debut back in 1987.
But how did it feel to bring a mute character to life? We spoke to Patricia Summersett and asked her how she brought one the most iconic characters in video games to life …
When did you first hear about the role and how familiar were you with the Zelda series?
I actually discovered it was the role of Princess Zelda only weeks after I'd landed it, which is pretty common in video game auditions due to the intense secrecy surrounding the material. I was pretty familiar with the series having grown up with the NES in my family home and having played a few of the Zelda games (the original, Ocarina of Time, and then Twilight Princess). But I never would have suspected it was Zelda… I wouldn't have fathomed that.
Did you feel under any pressure considering you were the first voice actress to give such an iconic video game character an English voice? Especially after 3 decades of silence for Zelda.
I did feel pressure surely. It was a fascinating year being a "silent princess" and watching the hype unfold. But I also felt well supported and it was a focused room, much work to be done and clear direction. At some point, it became more important to simply focus on the work at present.
What was Nintendo like to work with compared to other roles you've had?
Honestly, with most VO jobs I've done, I've always had a pretty positive experience. The Nintendo team was an absolute joy to be in the room with. Working with director Jamie Mortellaro… I highly recommend the experience for any voice over artist because his direction is easy, clear, always supportive and confident. So I'd say it was great. I'd give it a top rating, haha! But also the nature of the material was extra special, so it was a very cool room to be in.
How did you mentally prepare yourself for the role? And, how much creative freedom did you have to explore the character?
I approach every script I work on from a theatre perspective. I prepped and did research into the Zelda universe to prepare as well. Zelda is a very easy character to empathise with. But I was also given very clear direction, so ultimately it was about coming in with an idea and then marrying it with the vision of Nintendo.
Would you like to reprise the role again, and if so, what would you do differently, if anything?
I would certainly reprise the role if I had the chance. I can't say exactly what I would do differently, but I would continue to evolve within it as I would when spending a length of time with any character. And I would certainly appreciate every moment of it!
Have you got around to playing Breath of the Wild? If so, how's your play through going and what are your thoughts on the finished product?
I have played several hours and have a mountain of hours ahead of me. The game is incredible, I love it. I get distracted with all of the little things that have nothing to do with an ultimate mission. Hunting forever, or blowing up everything I can find on a cliff. I was waylaid for about 30 minutes the other day attempting to use magnesis to lift a pitchfork and bump a bunch of goats on their backsides (to get them to run). And you can do that in this game… with everything! But really, I just find the work of the hundreds of artists involved in the creation of the game to be truly incredible. To be involved in this way creatively… it's a gift I do not take for granted.
You can follow Patricia on Twitter @Summersett_ where we're sure she'll be talking about the new Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC The Champions' Ballad when it releases later this year.

Title IX Expectations of K-12 Schools – 45 Years After Passage
By Peg Pennepacker on November 07, 2017 hst
Students of all genders and sexual orientations in federally funded institutions, including K-12 schools, have a right under Title IX to an education free from discrimination on the basis of sex. This right includes equitable access to all academic programs, activities, athletics, course offerings, admissions, recruitment, scholarships, as well as to be free from harassment based upon sex, gender, gender identity and expression, and sexual orientation.
This law protects students in academic and non-academic activities because of pregnancy, birth, miscarriage and abortion, and it also protects faculty, staff and whistle-blowers from sexual harassment, sex discrimination and retaliation.
On June 23, 2017, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 turned 45 and, during this time, the law has been challenged and tested many times. In this ever-changing world and new political climate, the challenges and tests continue for this law that has transformed the educational landscape of this country. It is, therefore, imperative that school officials and leaders are current in their knowledge of changes that are taking place relative to Title IX and its application in K-12 schools.
There are three areas that have recently been affected by the new administration through the "Dear Colleague Letter" notification process, or by the introduction of potential legislation.
This past February, the Department of Justice and the Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter rescinding the statements of policy and guidance reflected in the Dear Colleague Letter on Transgender Students jointly issued by the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the Department of Education in May of 2016.
The 2016 letter took the position that the prohibitions on discrimination on the basis of sex in Title IX of 1972 require access to sex-segregated facilities based on gender identity. The current Department of Education officials state that these guidance documents do not contain extensive legal analysis or explain how the position is consistent with the express language of Title IX and had not undergone any formal public process.
The most recent guidance suggests that the May 2016 interpretation has given rise to significant litigation regarding school restrooms and locker rooms. As an example, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit concluded that the term "sex" in the regulations is ambiguous and deferred to what the court characterized as the "novel" interpretation advanced in the guidance. By contrast, a federal district court in Texas held that the term "sex" unambiguously refers to biological sex and that the guidance was "legislative and substantive" and thus formal rule-making should have occurred prior to the adoption of any such policy.
Essentially, the Departments of Justice and Education have yielded to states and local school districts to establish educational policy regarding transgender students.
As schools continue to deal with this issue, it is important to note that the Departments of Justice and Education stated in the February 2017 Dear Colleague Letter that the withdrawal of the May 2016 guidance does not leave students without protections from discrimination, bullying or harassment.
The February 2017 Letter stated that "All schools must ensure that all students, including LGBT students, are able to learn and thrive in a safe environment. The Department of Education Office for Civil Rights will continue its duty under law to hear all claims of discrimination and will explore every appropriate opportunity to protect all students and to encourage civility in our classrooms. The Department of Education and the Department of Justice are committed to the application of Title IX and other federal laws to ensure such protection."
Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assault
In September, the Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter rescinding the statements of policy and guidance reflected in the "Dear Colleague Letter on Sexual Violence" dated April 4, 2011, and the "Questions and Answers on Title IX and Sexual Violence" dated April 29, 2014. The 2011 Dear Colleague Letter required schools to adopt a minimal standard of proof (the preponderance-of-the-evidence standard) in administering student discipline.
The new guidance raises the standard of proof for school disciplinary proceedings in some instances, stating that educational institutions may use a clear and convincing standard in sexual misconduct investigations, rather than the lower preponderance-of-evidence standard. It is important to note that the Department of Education will still rely on its 2001 Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance. This includes the current definition of responsible employees, who are still required to report and schools must still respond if a school official knows or reasonably should know of an incident of sexual misconduct.
Gender Equity in Education Act
On June 22, 2017, Senator Mazie K. Hirono introduced the Patsy T. Mink Gender Equity in Education Act (GEEA), which would provide additional resources for schools, school districts, states and institutions of higher education to fully implement Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
GEEA would provide resources, training and technical assistance to fully implement Title IX and reduce and prevent sex discrimination in all areas of education, by:
Establishing an Office of Gender Equity in the U.S. Department of Education to coordinate activities within the department and among other federal agencies;
Combating discrimination, harassment, bias and violence based on sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions;
Supporting Title IX coordinators with annual training;
Providing competitive grants to K-12 schools, institutions of higher education, local education agencies or states as the primary applicants, with the option to partner with organizations with relevant expertise;
Including evaluation and assessment of how applicants improve on indicators of gender equity; and
Disseminating resources and best practices nationwide.
The bill is supported by the American Association of University Women, Human Rights Campaign, National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity, National Women's Law Center, Society of Women Engineers, Clearinghouse on Women's Issues, Feminist Majority Foundation, Girls, Inc., National Organization for Women, National Women's Political Caucus and Stop Sexual Assault in Schools.
Title IX is an important and valuable federal law. Schools have the responsibility to protect every student and ensure that they have the freedom to learn and thrive in a safe and trusted environment. Schools have a moral obligation to do what is right for all students.
Peg Pennepacker
Peg Pennepacker, CAA retired in June after serving 36 years in public education, including 30 years as a high school athletic director. She is an advocate for Title IX and commits her time to educating and consulting K-12 schools on Title IX issues. She can be contacted at pegpennepacker@gmail.com or 814-470-7101.

384–322 BC
ARISTOTLE TEACHING ALEXANDER
Aristotle was one of the most famous philosophers of all time. He was a student of Plato, a contemporary of Philip II of Macedonia, and a teacher of his son Alexander the Great. He wrote on a vast variety of topics including logic, rhetoric, ethics, government, physics and biology. He was a systematic thinker and organized much of the knowledge of his time into a methodical course of study. And his works have been influential throughout all of western thought and history.
Aristotle was born in Stagira, on the Peninsula of Chalcidice in Thrace. His father was a court physician for the king of Macedonia, and he had a long association with the Macedonian court during the period of Philip II's rise to power. He was sent to study at Plato's Academy at the age of 18, and was ultimately recognized as one of the top scholars. He left the Academy and returned to Macedonia in 347 B.C., and a few years later became a tutor for Alexander the Great. He returned to Athens in 335 B.C. and founded a school called the Lyceum. Several members of Plato's academy joined him there. On the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., Athens rebelled against Macedonia, and at that time Aristotle returned to Macedonia where he died a year later.
Key events during the life of Aristotle:
Year Event
374 BC Father died, left in custody of his uncle.
367 BC Went to Athens to study at Plato's Academy.
347 BC Left the Academy after the death of Plato.

text: Homotypic hybridizations. (a) A typical hybridization where a single RNA pool was split and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5. For each element, intensities in each channel are plotted against each other. The central diagonal line represents equivalent intensities and the flanking lines twofold differences in intensity. (b) Data points from four such homotypic hybridizations were used to construct the histogram, which shows the distribution or 'bandwidth' of gene elements (as a percentage of the total) around the natural logarithm of the expected ratio of 1.0. As relative fluorescence can vary with laser power, spectral line and bandwidth and other detector parameters, it is more useful to express results as ratios, a unit-less term. (c) The ratio plotted against position of the element on the array. The parallel lines are at equivalent intensities and at twofold differences in intensity.

The Council agreed that $240,000 funding set aside in the Long Term Plan to support a Tuakau rail facility would be re-allocated for the development of facilities at the Huntly rail station, such as shelter, lighting, CCTV, pedestrian access and a park-and-ride, to meet the requirements of the business case to get a start-up service operational by early 2020.
Nevertheless the Council also agreed that a passenger rail facility at Tuakau, given the existing population and planned growth in the area, must be a priority. They noted that this will be considered through the appropriate Hamilton to Auckland Corridor Plan work stream.
The Council also agreed to lead a separate business case for a train station at Te Kauwhata to be considered in year 3 of the start-up passenger rail service.
The business case has already been endorsed by the Waikato Regional Council and awaits endorsement from Hamilton City Council before it goes to the NZ Transport Agency Board on 14 December.

Cabinet must be held accountable for the July unrest: Civil society groups

The cabinet must be held accountable for the unrest in July last year, that claimed the lives of more than 350 people in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. This is according to civil society groups.
The call comes after the release of an expert panel's report into the unrest.
President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed the panel last year, to investigate the unrest.
The panel found that the security services failed to anticipate and prevent the orchestrated violence.
Attempts to rebuild trust and unity after last July's civil unrest that led to racial tensions in Phoenix , north of Durban and surrounding townships, are still ongoing.
At least 36 people were killed in the area in what is believed to be racially-motivated attacks as looting and destruction to businesses engulfed parts of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
According to a report of an expert panel that investigated the unrest, cabinet must take overall responsibility for the events. Likewise, civil society groups leading community engagements in Phoenix, KwaMashu, Bhambayi and Inanda want those implicated in the report to be held accountable.
Convenor of the Phoenix Ubuntu Forum, Sham Maharaj says, "Both the Minister of Police led by Bheki Cele and the Minister of intelligence services must be called to account for the failure and the mud-slinging that happened publicly. It is a shame that people in government cannot sit together and resolve these matters. The president must call both of them to account. But, we are also very heartened that the recommendations suggests that the security services must be overhauled. Heads must roll and those people, who have been identified by this panel must be called to account."
Phoenix Ubuntu forum calls for swift action on panel's recommendations:
The report says poor socio-economic circumstances and differences within the governing party contributed to the unrest, which erupted after former president, Jacob Zuma, was imprisoned for contempt of the Constitutional Court.
The civil society groups say dialogues between African and Indian communities must continue as they are bearing fruit. Reverend Vusi Zondi of the Pentecostal Holiness Church in KwaMashu explains…
"It's a process not an event. If you remember very well after the incident and the unrest it was very difficult for the school learners to come to this area. But the churches, civil groups and community leaders work together and it started slowly that they are accepted in this area but the pastors feel that it should not stop there, it should carry on," says Zondi.
Meanwhile, Craig Bouchier, a regional representative of Heartline a centre for values promotion says it will greatly help reconciliation efforts if the families of alleged perpetrators reach out to communities where victims lived. Bouchier says there is a feeling that the outreach is mainly coming from organisations.
"If you are part of these communities it is relevant for everyone. There is no one who can say it is not relevant for them. I think with those who might have been perpetrators their journey might be a longer journey. They have to take that first step that is many steps to get to the place of true reconciliation," says Bouchier.
On Thursday, President Ramaphosa is expected to outline actions that the government will take in response to the findings and recommendations of the expert report into the July unrest.

Martin Wehrle (* 17. März 1970 in Löffingen) ist ein deutscher Journalist, Karriereberater, Autor und Webvideoproduzent.

Leben
Martin Wehrle besuchte die Akademie für Publizistik in Hamburg und war stellvertretender Chefredakteur der Angler-Zeitschrift Blinker. In dieser Zeit siegte er bei der Europameisterschaft im Hechtangeln. Später leitete er zwei Abteilungen in einem MDAX-Konzern. Ehe er den zweiten Bildungsweg einschlug, hatte Wehrle seine Berufslaufbahn mit 18 Jahren in einer Gemeindeverwaltung als Beamtenanwärter begonnen.

Anfang der 2000er Jahre machte er sich als Karriereberater selbstständig und veröffentlichte 2003 Geheime Tricks für mehr Gehalt. In den folgenden Jahren schrieb er weitere Bücher zu den Themen Karriere und Gehalt, beispielsweise Die Geheimnisse der Chefs. 2007 verfasste Wehrle mit Uwe Kamenz Professor Untat, das unter anderem von der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung als "Universalangriff auf das deutsche Hochschulsystem" eingestuft wurde. Es löste eine Debatte über Nebentätigkeiten von Professoren aus. 2011 erschien Ich arbeite in einem Irrenhaus, das zu einem der meistverkauften Wirtschaftsbücher in Deutschland wurde. Der Stern beurteilte es als das "ultimative Trostbuch für genervte Mitarbeiter". 2012 fand es mit dem Bestseller Ich arbeite immer noch in einem Irrenhaus seine Fortsetzung.

Die Bücher von Wehrle basieren laut Spiegel Online auf der Sicht seiner Kunden und seinen eigenen Erfahrungen als Führungskraft, die satirisch zugespitzt würden. Er leitet eine Karriereberater-Akademie in Hamburg und hat nach eigener Aussage die erste Ausbildung für Karriereberater in Deutschland realisiert. Von 2010 bis 2017 war er als Kolumnist für Die Zeit tätig, über den Irrsinn Büro schrieb er 2012 eine Titelgeschichte für den Stern.

Wehrle kritisiert, dass die Reallöhne in Deutschland, insbesondere im Niedriglohnsektor, zwischen 1991 und 2016 deutlich gesunken sind, während sich zur gleichen Zeit die Unternehmensgewinne der Kapitalgesellschaften verdreifacht hätten. Um dieser Entwicklung entgegenzuwirken, schlägt er vor, dass der Staat von großen Unternehmen einen Solidaritätsbeitrag verlangen sollte, um ein Grundeinkommen zu finanzieren.

Prozess vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht
1992 hatte die Badische Zeitung einen seiner Leserbriefe veröffentlicht, der die nächtliche Abschiebung einer asylsuchenden Familie durch die Polizei mit Gestapo-Methoden verglich. Die Behörden sahen sich in den Äußerungen in ihrer Ehre verletzt; Wehrle wurde zunächst vom Amtsgericht Titisee-Neustadt und später vom Landgericht Freiburg wegen Beleidigung verurteilt. Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hob die Entscheidungen mit Verweis auf die Meinungsfreiheit auf, die in den vorhergehenden Urteilen nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt worden sei.
