Nature Asia-Pacific has just launched the Nature-Asia Publishing Index, which analyses the papers published in all of the Nature group of journals by researchers working at institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, including India and Australasia. The data is interesting, because the Nature journals are very important primary research journals, so they give some idea of the spread of high-quality basic research in the region, both by country and by institution. It's not surprising that Japan is still top, by a significant margin, but Singapore does very well for its size, and China is moving up rapidly.
The other interesting thing here is the value of this to the Nature group. Because the index undeniably does have value, policy-makers in the region are likely to use it. That means that moving up the index is likely to directly benefit institutions. And that means that, all else being equal, researchers at those institutions are going to submit to a Nature journal, rather than one that isn't in the index. In other words, it should give the Nature journals a slight edge over journals of comparable Impact Factor in the competition for the best papers from the Asia-Pacific region. I do wonder how much that drove the decision making. The commercial benefit is likely to be minimal; the journals are already important enough that no serious institution could manage without a subscription. However, the prestige benefit could be quite important.
Incidentally, five of the top ten institutions in the region are Japanese. The University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Osaka University, RIKEN, and Tohoku University. Kyushu and Keio are at eleven and twelve.
The data did immediately make me wonder what a global version of the index would look like. The USA would dominate in much the way that Japan dominates this one, but the lower places would be more interesting. I wonder whether the rest of the Nature group is thinking about doing something similar.

There's a Good Reason Why We've Been Around for 35-Plus Years: October 20, 2014
We're proud to say we've been in business long enough now for parents to pass on their love of diving - and of Undercurrent - to their children. Dive instructor Todd Emmons (San Francisco, CA), a second-generation Undercurrent subscriber, wrote us his story. "My father has subscribed to you for years, and has what looks like a metric ton of your back issues since before you went electronic. I have been poring over them since I was a kid diver, long before I made it my profession. Coincidentally, my last job I got by doing my research in one place: your Travelin' Divers Chapbook. I wound up finding the best dive job I've ever had through you guys. I also had an excellent dive experience with a company I found through you guys recently. I don't normally put digital pen to paper, but you deserve a nod." Indulge your love of scuba diving by subscribing to Undercurrent. Or give the gift of a susbscription to a diving buddy or relative.

Scuba Diver Plunges Down to New World Record: October 20, 2014
An Egyptian scuba diver set a new world record last month when he reached a depth of 1,066 feet - about the height of New York's Chrysler Building. Ahmed Gabr, a former member of Egypt's special forces who now works as a Red Sea dive instructor, took 14 hours to dive down into an abyss near the Egyptian resort town of Dabab. When he came up, he was met by a Guinness World Records representative, who handed him a certificate for the world's deepest male scuba dive -- he beat the previous record, set by South African Nuno Gomez, by 16 feet. Gabr traveled with nine tanks containing mixes of trimix, nitrox, oxygen and air specially prepared by friend and tech dive trainer, Sam Hewlmy, who's keeping the exact mixes under wraps. Gabr's most magical moment: A baby white-tip oceanic shark hung out with him for six hours.

Dive Shows for Divers: October 20, 2014
Sport divers complain that they can't gain admission to the big DEMA show, but Our World-Underwater is putting on three excellent dive-specific shows this winter just for sport divers: Phoenix (December 6-7), Dallas (January 24-25) and Chicago (February 27-March 1). New gear, new travel destinations, demonstrations, film festivals -- they're not-to-be missed get-togethers for sport divers and their friends. More information at here.
Trapped Under the Sea: October 20, 2014
In 1999, hundreds of feet under the ocean, five divers traveled to the end of the new Boston sewer tunnel -- devoid of light and air -- to complete the construction; one didn't return and another was sentenced to a life of trauma-induced drug addiction and prison. It was a "dry penetration," but commercial divers were selected for the job because they were trained in mixed gas technology and could handle construction in dark and dangerous circumstances. Neil Swidey, a staff writer for the Boston Globe, tells the compelling tale of the harrowing and deadly task, against the backdrop of bravery, corporate greed, political infighting and construction incompetence. A great book for mixed-gas divers. Click here to order Trapped Under the Sea through Undercurrent and you'll get Amazon's best price -- and our profits will go to save coral reefs.
GoPro's New Cameras: Cheaper, More Powerful: October 20, 2014
GoPro introduced a few new Hero models earlier this month, a higher-end one that shoots higher-quality photos and video at faster frame rates, and an entry-level camera that's cheaper than any previous GoPro. The Hero is just $130, but has the same features as the $200-plus GoPros from years past. Hero4 Silver, in the mid-$400 range, has faster frame rates and new touch-screen controls on the back. Hero4Black, with fast frames and slow-motion options, is targeted for professionals who already have GoPro rigs, and at $500, it's at the top of the line. All these cameras can go down to 130 feet when used inside their (included) housing. http://www.GoPro.com

Obama Creates World's Largest Marine Reserve: October 20, 2014
On September 25th, he signed a proclamation expanding the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, adding an additional 370,000 square nautical miles to the already 800,000 square miles. The designation makes the south-central Pacific marine preserve, which contains U.S. territories like Kingman Reef, Kiribati and the Gilbert Islands, six times larger than it was, and puts it off limits to commercial fishing.
Wakatobi Resort's Customized Service: All It's Cracked Up to Be?: October 20, 2014
One of our travelin' divers visited this Indonesian resort and wrote, "Upon arrival, our own concierge welcomed us and checked us in. (We weren't special; this is protocol.) There was no dive group feeling about this place, only individual service -- which, I learned later, does put some damper on socializing." Read this month's travel feature to see how the pricey, personalized service may have some flaws. Free for all to view at Undercurrent.org.
Indonesia Follows Through on Manta Ray Protection: October 20, 2014
Authorities recently announced four separate arrests for attempted trafficking of more than 1,400 pounds of threatened manta rays. Indonesia made reef and oceanic manta rays a newly protected species a few years ago, and trafficking in them (their gill plates are in demand for traditional Chinese medicine) now carries a maximum fine of US$25,000. Wildlife organizations praise the country's efforts to crack down on trafficking and promote the tourism trade of watching them instead. Caleb McClennen, executive director of marine conversation at the Wildlife Conservation Society told the New York Times, "Hopefully Indonesia will be seen as a leading role model that other countries will follow."
And Speaking of Watching Mantas: October 20, 2014
The Marine Megafauna Foundation is running its fifth annual "'Ray of Hope" Manta Expedition, hosting an eight-day liveaboard trip to Burma's Mergui Archipelago and Thailand's Similan Islands aboard the MV Deep Andaman Queen from February 28 to March 8. The foundation does research for manta ray conservation, and each day will be dedicated to diving a new area of the Andaman Sea, with the goal of documenting as many mantas as possible, while offering evening presentations and workshops. The per-person prices range from $2,000 for a quad cabin bunk to $2,900 for the Master Cabin. More info is here.
What to Do with Your Camera Batteries on Flights: October 20, 2014
Undercurrent Subscriber A.B. Alexander (Newport Beach, CA) wrote us, "Last year I had all my batteries taken out of my checked bag by the TSA without a note. This year, all airlines say that transporting lithium ion batteries is forbidden. But more and more divers are taking their cameras and lights with them on dive trips. How do you suggest this be handled? Without batteries, no pictures can be taken." Here's what one photographer advises to do about packing batteries for your next dive trip - the article is free to read at Undercurrent.org.
Fish Apps for Your iPhone and iPad: October 20, 2014
We've written about fish ID apps for smartphones and tablets in previous issues, and here are a couple to consider. Undercurrent subscriber John Hoover (Honolulu, HI) created Fish ID Hawaii for the iPad ($8), which has full descriptions of 324 Hawaiian reef fish, 300-plus underwater videos of said fish, and recommendations for dive and snorkel sites around the islands. Bob Halstead, who pioneered dive tourism in Papua New Guinea, created the Coral Sea Fish Guide ($5), which covers reef fish and critters from the Great Barrier Reef to Vanuatu. It's available for both iPhone and iPad here.

Paris offered Microsoft discount
The French capital is reported to have been offered up to 60 percent off the cost of its Microsoft licences
By Estelle Dumout | June 30, 2004 -- 12:40 GMT (05:40 PDT) | Topic: Developer
Microsoft has offered a 60 percent cut off the prices of its licences for three years to the city of Paris. It's a tactic that bore no fruit in Munich when the German city government opted for open-source software on 14,000 desktops earlier this month.
Will the software giant be more convincing in Paris and stop the French making the swap? Faced with the possibility of losing the French capital, Gates and chums have opted for the same tactic that they used in Bavaria when confronted with customers making eyes at Linux or OpenOffice: agreeing to take a knife to the cost of licences.
According to French daily Libération, in January, Microsoft made an offer to Philipped Schil, the Paris mayoral authorities' director of information technology and systems -- an offer cutting licence prices by around 60 percent for the local government's computers, which meant some 15,000 PCs. In financial terms, the bill for three years would drop from €13.27m to €5.65m.
The overhaul of the Paris administration's IT environment will cost about €160m and will be carried out as part of a three-year framework, from 2004 until 2007. Modernisation has been the order of the day since Bertrand Delanoë took political office in Paris. Delanoë was elected for the Socialist party at the head of a coalition with the Greens in March 2001.
The overhaul could well have prompted the city to look towards Munich, which, following a study from Unilog, decided in May 2003 to replace Windows and other Microsoft products with open-source software.
The Bavarian capital has just agreed on a migration calendar, which will last until 2008. Jens Mühlhaus, a representative of the Greens on the city council, said the decision wasn't taken solely for economic reasons -- strategic and political reasoning had also come into it.
Delanoë's services have also ordered a conversion study from the French Unilog and some of its representatives have been to Munich several times to study the Bavarian initiative.
The estimate seen by Libération was dated from January -- well before Paris went to Unilog France for a study into open source. Rumours of an even greater discount -- to the tune of 80 per cent -- were also circulating.
The IT section of the socialist party, Temps reels, has been loudly calling for open-source software and recently sent an open letter to the Mayor of Paris signed by several of the party's MPs.
When questioned by ZDNet France, the Paris council refused to confirm or deny the figures put forward by Libération
A spokesman said: "This won't be a political decision, however. The study ordered from Unilog is to help us determine the financial consequences and the timeframe and staff training of any eventual migration."
The results of the study will be made public "in the coming weeks" but the decision on whether to migrate or not "won't be necessarily immediate; there isn't a set calendar".

The Acts of Union 1800 (sometimes incorrectly referred to as a single 'Act of Union 1801')[citation needed] were parallel acts of the Parliament of Great Britain and the Parliament of Ireland which united the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland (previously in personal union) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The acts came into force on 1 January 1801, and the merged Parliament of the United Kingdom had its first meeting on 22 January 1801.
Both acts remain in force, with amendments and some Articles repealed, in the United Kingdom,[2] but have been repealed in their entirety in the Republic of Ireland[3] to whatever extent they might have been law in the new nation at all.
Two acts were passed in 1800 with the same long title: An Act for the Union of Great Britain and Ireland. The short title of the act of the British Parliament is Union with Ireland Act 1800, assigned by the Short Titles Act 1896. The short title of the act of the Irish Parliament is Act of Union (Ireland) 1800, assigned by a 1951 act of the Parliament of Northern Ireland, and hence not effective in the Republic of Ireland, where it was referred to by its long title when repealed in 1962.
Before these Acts, Ireland had been in personal union with England since 1541, when the Irish Parliament had passed the Crown of Ireland Act 1542, proclaiming King Henry VIII of England to be King of Ireland. Since the 12th century, the King of England had been technical overlord of the Lordship of Ireland, a papal possession. Both the Kingdoms of Ireland and England later came into personal union with that of Scotland upon the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
In 1707, the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland were united into a single kingdom: the Kingdom of Great Britain. Upon that union, each House of the Parliament of Ireland passed a congratulatory address to Queen Anne, praying that, "May God put it in your royal heart to add greater strength and lustre to your crown, by a still more comprehensive Union".[4] The Irish Parliament was both before then subject to a certain restrictions that made it subordinate to the Parliament of England and after then, to the Parliament of Great Britain; however, Ireland gained effective legislative independence from Great Britain through the Constitution of 1782.
By this time access to institutional power in Ireland was restricted to a small minority: the Anglo-Irish of the Protestant Ascendancy. Frustration at the lack of reform among the Catholic majority eventually led, along with other reasons, to a rebellion in 1798, involving a French invasion of Ireland and the seeking of complete independence from Great Britain. This rebellion was crushed with much bloodshed, and the motion for union was motivated at least in part by the belief that the rebellion was exacerbated as much by brutally reactionary loyalists as by United Irishmen (anti-unionists).[citation needed]
Furthermore, Catholic emancipation was being discussed in Great Britain, and fears that a newly enfranchised Catholic majority would drastically change the character of the Irish government and parliament also contributed to a desire from London to merge the Parliaments.[citation needed]
According to historian James Stafford, an Enlightenement critique of Empire in Ireland laid the intellectual foundations for the Acts of Union. He writes that Enlightenment thinkers connected "the exclusion of the Irish Kingdom from free participation in imperial and European trade with the exclusion of its Catholic subjects, under the terms of the 'Penal Laws', from the benefits of property and political representation." These critiques were used to justify a parliamentary union between Britain and Ireland.[5]

Complementary acts had to be passed in the Parliament of Great Britain and in the Parliament of Ireland.
The Parliament of Ireland had recently gained a large measure of legislative independence under the Constitution of 1782. Many members of the Irish Parliament jealously guarded that autonomy (notably Henry Grattan), and a motion for union was legally rejected in 1799. Only Anglicans were permitted to become members of the Parliament of Ireland though the great majority of the Irish population were Roman Catholic, with many Presbyterians in Ulster. In 1793 Roman Catholics regained the right to vote if they owned or rented property worth £2 annually. Wealthy Catholics were strongly in favour of union in the hope for rapid religious emancipation and the right to sit as MPs, which came to pass only well after the religiously divisive Napoleonic Wars, namely under the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829.
From the perspective of Great Britain's elites, the union was desirable because of the uncertainty that followed the French Revolution of 1789 and the Irish Rebellion of 1798. If Ireland adopted Catholic emancipation willingly or not, a Roman Catholic Parliament could break away from Britain and ally with the French, but the same measure within the United Kingdom would exclude that possibility. Also, in creating a regency during King George III's "madness", the Irish and British Parliaments gave the Prince Regent different powers. These considerations led Great Britain to decide to attempt the merger of both kingdoms and Parliaments.
The final passage of the Act in the Irish Commons turned on an about 16% relative majority, garnering 58% of the votes, and similar in the Irish Lords, in part per contemporary accounts through bribery with the awarding of peerages and honours to critics to get votes.[6] The first attempt had been defeated in the Irish House of Commons by 109 votes to 104, but the second vote in 1800 passed by 158 to 115.[6]
The Acts of Union were two complementary Acts, namely:
The Union with Ireland Act 1800 (39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67),[7] an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain, and
The Act of Union (Ireland) 1800 (40 Geo. 3 c. 38),[8] an Act of the Parliament of Ireland.
They were passed on 2 July 1800 and 1 August 1800 respectively, and came into force on 1 January 1801. They ratified eight articles which had been previously agreed by the British and Irish parliaments:
Articles I–IV dealt with the political aspects of the Union. It created a united parliament.
In the House of Lords, the existing members of the Parliament of Great Britain were joined by, as Lords Spiritual, four bishops of the Church of Ireland, rotating among the dioceses in each session and as Lords Temporal 28 representative peers elected for life by the Peerage of Ireland.
The House of Commons was to include the pre-union representation from Great Britain and 100 members from Ireland.
See also: United Kingdom general election, 1801
Article V united the established Church of England and Church of Ireland into "one Protestant Episcopal Church, to be called, The United Church of England and Ireland"; but also confirmed the independence of the Church of Scotland.
Article VI created a customs union, with the exception that customs duties on certain British and Irish goods passing between the two countries would remain for 10 years (a consequence of having trade depressed by the ongoing war with revolutionary France). The High Court of Northern Ireland ruled that parts of this Article as it applied to the UK were "impliedly repealed" by the passage of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2020.[9][a]
Article VII stated that Ireland would have to contribute two-seventeenths towards the expenditure of the United Kingdom. The figure was a ratio of Irish to British foreign trade.
Article VIII formalised the legal and judicial aspects of the Union.
Part of the attraction of the Union for many Irish Catholics was the promise of Catholic Emancipation, allowing Roman Catholic MPs, who had not been allowed in the Irish Parliament. This was however blocked by King George III who argued that emancipating Roman Catholics would breach his Coronation Oath, and was not realised until 1829.
The traditionally separate Irish Army, which had been funded by the Irish Parliament, was merged into the larger British Army.
The first parliament
In the first Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the members of the House of Commons were not elected afresh. By royal proclamation authorised by the Act, all the members of the last House of Commons from Great Britain took seats in the new House, and from Ireland 100 members were chosen from the last Irish House of Commons: two members from each of the 32 counties and from the two largest boroughs, and one from each of the next 31 boroughs (chosen by lot) and from Dublin University. The other 84 Irish parliamentary boroughs were disfranchised; all were pocket boroughs, whose patrons received £15,000 compensation for the loss of what was considered their property.
Change in the Union Flag
Earlier Flag of Great Britain,
prior to the union with Ireland
The second Union Flag,
incorporating the Irish Saint Patrick's Saltire
Main article: Union Jack
The Union Flag, created as a consequence of the union of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1800, still remains the flag of the United Kingdom. Called the Union Flag, it combined the flags of St George's Cross (which was deemed to include Wales) and the St Andrew's Saltire of Scotland with the St Patrick's Saltire to represent Ireland (it now represents Northern Ireland). At the same time, the moribund English claims to the French throne were given up, so the fleur-de-lis were removed from the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom.

Q: Calc always have to zoom in! Every time when I open new document in Libre Office Calc, the cells are too small so every time I have to zoom in with CTRL+scroll wheel UP;  (See the picture below)

How can I set the most acceptable view for me (but not only for one document, I want larger cells every time I open new blank document)?

A: Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View and reset the Scaling option to 100%. Yours appears to be set at 22%.
To quickly reset the scaling for any open sheet, double-click on the display percentage at the bottom-right of the window (next to the scaling slider) to bring up the Zoom & View Layout dialog.

A: What you describe makes me think of a broken template. I'd suggest to create a new one and set it as your default Calc template:

*

*Open a Calc document, adjust the zoom level to 100%

*Save the document by choosing File - Save As Template and saving the document in the My Templates category.

*Choose File - New - Templates.

*Double-click My Templates in the list. You will see the user-defined templates in the user directory specified under Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths. Select the template you have just saved.

*Choose Set as default. The next time you open a new Calc document, the new spreadsheet will be based on the new default template.

A: *

*Close all CALC windows

*open a new one

*Go to bottom right slider and move it to 100% (or whatever value you need)

*Close CALC

*open it again; cells are now in correct size :)

you can also do it from Menu > View > Zoom

Our mission is to provide the best possible educational support to children, by ensuring education professionals understand the issues Service children in Wales may face. The project is a Welsh Local Government Association project initially funded by the MOD Education Support Fund and funded by Welsh Government for 2019.
Since the project began in 2014 we have worked with schools, local authorities, Welsh Government, education professionals, Armed Forces families and support organisations to gather their views and experiences, build our networks across Wales and continue to raise awareness and understanding. We have developed guidance and digital resources for schools and families, ran conferences and stakeholder days and commissioned research to better understand the needs of Service children in education.
You can find a range of resources and links on this site.

You know, we see a lot of buns around here. But this shot of Aussie actress (and Vikings star) Alyssa Sutherland really does remind you how elegant that simple hairstyle can be. I can just feel you guys pinning this to boards with titles like "Wedding Hair" and "Hair Dreaming." Just this picture, the way her neck angles, her perfect profile, the sweep of her earring, it's a so lovely. A perfect red-carpet moment, don't you agree?

Go to http://www.tvguide.com and then click Listings at the top. You should get a flash pop-up. Firebird stops actual windows from popping up by default but not flash pop-ups. I don't want to block all ads everywhere, I just want to block unrequested flash pop-ups. It has a close button at the top of the flash pop-up but it doesn't work in Firebird, or at least not that I could get to work. Is there a way to stop unrequested flash pop-ups without disabling Flash or all ads everywhere?
I didn't get a Flash pop-up...sorry, can't help any beyond that.
Clear your cache and go there a few times, you will get one eventually heh. The problem is it gets in the way of what I need to see and the close button doesn't work so it just sits there. Maybe you have them blocked with your Hosts file or something.

I know exactly what you mean. I wish I could figure out a way to disable them also. I suppose I could disable flash before visiting there but that would be a royal PITA especially since I visit there quite often.

This same problem, for me, has happened with Gecko-based browsers & Internet Explorer w/PopUpCop (a pop-up killer) when going to tvguide.com. The only way I got around it was to refresh the page. Sneaky bastards, aren't they? The least they could do is put a close button on those things.
Well there is a close button on the one I kept getting (about the show O.C.) but it doesn't work with Firebird and just stays there on the page while you click close.

After my last message on this subject, I went back to tvguide.com with IE (just for the hell of it) and ended up running into one of those ads again. Only (Surpirse!! Surprise) there was a close button on it. I'm starting to think it's not showing up in Firebird due to some bug. One that might be in Mozilla 1.5, too. Maybe this thread should be continued in the Firebird Bug Forum?

The ad I ran into had a close button but wouldn't function; it didn't close the window. Didn't try with IE but I suspect it would've worked. This is with Firebird 0.7. Haven't run into any other problems yet.
I have the same problem with 0.61. It would be nice if we found a solution but TVGuide.com is getting to be more trouble than it's worth. Since I only go there for the listings, not the scintillating articles, I'm looking into alternatives like Yahoo or my local web/newspaper site.
You could install the extension called PrefButtons, which has a checkbox to disable plugins for the selected tab only. This would allow you to surf with tabs that are flash enabled while viewing on some tabs with flash disabled at the same time. Also, TBE has this function as well.
I find it "interesting" that you send me the same thing via private message, then post it again in an open forum for everybody to see. Hmmm ... what is this really about? Numerous people here post messages here with signatures that have images & colors, and they've never had a problem at all. Yet I just happen to have a problem with mine after recently standing up to a certain moderator in the Mozilla After Dark forum. One who was abusing his authority & trying to shut me up for simply speaking my mind, and "having the gaul" to post a message about something in his forum. What a "coincidence", huh? If somebody is doing his bidding, then they should at least have the balls to say so, instead of being gutless about it.
BTW: I was going to tell you this via private e-mail, but decided to "follow your example" and let the world know about this.
^^^Make it easy on yourself and remove those oversized smiles. Either that or wait for an admin to contact you.

TAMPA — The person in handcuffs on the news seemed unrecognizable to many of Howell Emanuel Donaldson III's closest friends.
He wore a white jumpsuit and was surrounded by stout police officers who looked relieved after catching the man they were sure was Tampa's most notorious killer.
Even the name seemed strange to friends. They all knew him as "Trai." The label was even harder to comprehend: serial killer.
Donaldson had randomly gunned down four people in Seminole Heights, investigators said, leaving the neighborhood terrified for 51 days.
He was quiet, cocky, easy-going, his friends remembered. Average. He always had a basketball in his hands. He went from Alonso High School to St. John's University in New York City, where he practiced for a brief time with the Division I team.
He was a friend with whom many had lost touch, but not for any particular reason — people just grow old, and apart.
He graduated in January, according to the university, returned to Tampa and bounced between jobs. He was fired from a customer support gig for absenteeism. He started working at the McDonald's in Ybor City, where, police said, he left the gun used in the killings with a colleague who notified an officer Tuesday.
The police chief said Donaldson, 24, was calm and pleasant when he talked to detectives. He admitted being the only one to ever possess the gun, but he didn't confess to the killings.
He didn't say why he would shoot people or how he was connected to the Seminole Heights neighborhood.
His close childhood friend learned of the news late, then stayed up all night in disbelief.
"My mom always commended him for his manners and likability, and she still says he was the most likable kid that you could possibly ask for," said Tyler Gimbert. "(She) started to tear up on the phone when I told her. My dad too. It just doesn't make sense."
The boys from the middle-class neighborhood called themselves the Bay Crest Bunch. It was Gimbert, Donaldson and a handful of others — always sleeping over and playing pick-up sports. They rode the bus together to Farnell Middle School.
Gimbert, now 25, remembers his parents were sticklers for manners; impolite friends were banned from staying over. But never Donaldson.
One time, the boys came upon a nest of small garden snakes, Gimbert recalled. Donaldson wasn't afraid. He grabbed a fistful of them and jokingly tossed them at his friends, prompting them to do the same.
"Trai was always the brave one," Gimbert said.
Gimbert said he was never too close with Donaldson's parents and remembers his friend was often watched by an older sister. Court records show that Donaldson's mother and father had a domestic dispute in 1997 that almost led to a divorce. His family could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Gimbert once fought with Donaldson's cousin, he remembered, and they rolled into a canal behind his house. Donaldson stopped them and forced them to make amends.
But people change, Gimbert acknowledged.
Donaldson bounced between high schools, eventually landing at Alonso for part of his junior and all of his senior year. He played on the basketball team and graduated in 2011.
A few years before, court records show, his parents entered into bankruptcy proceedings, reporting that they made $4,500 a month in 2008.
Donaldson moved to New York for college, and at St. John's, people quickly came to know him as a gym rat at the basketball court. He got a brief opportunity his freshman year to practice with the school's basketball team, and another walk-on to the program remembered him as a guard who could dribble but was occasionally tripped up by pigeon toes.
Donaldson liked to talk trash.
"He just had a mouth on him really," said Gerard Rivers, a fellow guard. "(As a walk-on), really your role is to just be humble and help where you can, and that wasn't him."
"He was a tough kid," said Sam Sealy. "He played with a chip on his shoulder."
In his dorm, Rivers said, Donaldson was friendly, always sitting with his computer in the common lounge.
"He was so productive," Rivers said. "I knew he wanted to be there for school. It was a good school."
Still, it took Donaldson nearly six years to finish college. St. John's declined Wednesday to release information about his academic history.
In 2014, he was arrested in New York City, but police released no details Wednesday, saying the file was sealed.
After school, Donaldson moved back to Tampa, a transition that was tough, said Ryan Keyworth, a friend from elementary school.
"We texted about life and going through hard times and how to pick ourselves up when going through adversity and overcome demons," Keyworth said.
Donaldson worked in customer support at Ultimate Medical Academy from Feb. 13 to May 2 before being fired for not showing up to the office. He passed a background check to get the job. He appears to have no criminal record in Florida.
Around Easter, Keyworth said, he and a group of buddies got together for a friendly game of pickup. When Donaldson was fouled, they saw rage in his eyes.
"His demeanor was different," Keyworth said. "It was something that was talked about among our close group of friends."
They wondered what the problem could be, if the stress of not succeeding as a college basketball player had gotten to him. Or perhaps he had fallen in with the wrong crowd. Maybe he was having issues with a woman he was dating at the University of Central Florida.
"There was something going on," Keyworth said. "I didn't want to pry because I figured if he wanted to talk, he would talk. But his diction changed. He was more aggressive in the way he talked. He had more of an edge. He had a fuse. I didn't remember this kid being like this."
The last time Keyworth heard from Donaldson was via text on October 3. That was the day the Tampa Police Department said he bought the gun used in the Seminole Heights killings.
Donaldson started working at the McDonald's a couple of months before his arrest.
Co-worker Gail Rogers said he never quite fit in.
"He wasn't a friendly person. We were all like a family," she said. "He wasn't like the rest of us."
They all talked about the killings, Rogers said, and they sometimes prodded Donaldson about his resemblance to a man police labeled a suspect in surveillance footage from the neighborhood.
"We would tease him and say he was the killer, because he looked like the pictures," Rogers said. "I called him the killer to his face. He didn't like that."
No one knew why Donaldson left the gun with a manager at the McDonald's on Tuesday. Criminology experts said it was a bizarre turn.
"To give your gun to someone else sounds like he's asking to be caught," said Northeastern University criminologist Jack Levin. "It just seems strange that the same person who would randomly kill complete strangers for the thrill of it would all of a sudden become remorseful."
Bryanna Fox, a criminology professor at the University of South Florida, said it's possible Donaldson was feeling the pressure from the police dragnet and was just looking for relief. Or he simply made a mistake.
A recent traumatic episode in his life might have driven him to kill, she said, or he may have simply reached a tipping point from a series of smaller setbacks.
For the people who know Donaldson, no explanation will ever suffice.
Gimbert, his childhood friend, walked around their old neighborhood Wednesday.
He went to a spot on the sidewalk where they had once all scrawled their names and pressed handprints into the wet cement.
Everyone's name was there, clear even a decade later. Except one.

HERE LIES DONOVAN WOLFINGTON 2011-2017
By William Archambeault	 July 2017
"It is very likely that, in one of these moments, you are going to die," echoes a voice from my speakers as a Donovan Wolfington 7" spins on the turntable. After six busy years, the much beloved band is calling it quits. Founded in 2011 by then-Loyola freshmen Neil Berthier and Matthew Seferian, the band combined the duo's distinct (and frequently contrasting) songwriting styles to cultivate a strong local and national following. However, the journey hasn't been easy. The group endured multiple lineup changes and numerous other complications. When they recorded their 2015 album How to Treat the Ones You Love, the studio's owner died in the middle of the sessions, forcing the band to rush their work and eventually finish the album elsewhere. In addition to their work with Donovan Wolfington, members—who now include bassist Alex Skalany and drummer Mike Saladis—juggled getting college degrees with performing, recording, and touring with other projects such as Pope, New Holland, and Ize.
Before the band departs, they are releasing a new album titled WAVES. This album is the group's most experimental effort yet. While past releases featured a variety of different song styles, their latest tunes have internalized these stylistic differences within the songs themselves. Each number frantically spins in and out of different genres and tempos. This is also the first Donovan Wolfington release not to feature any songs led by Seferian.
D-Wolf plans to close this chapter of their lives with one final show this fall. Drinking hot coffee outside in the summer rain, Berthier opened up about the death of Donovan Wolfington and why he's not mourning.
Neil Berthier: I've been overall very good: working at Gasa [Gasa], working shows, and I start bartending next week. I'm writing a solo record now that I'm very excited about. I still want to do it. I still like the idea of being in a touring band and making it happen. I was talking to Alex about it because he's doing his solo thing and I'm playing guitar with him at that Girlpool show on Thursday that he's opening up for. I'm just like, "Dude, why does Alex get to do that? I should just fucking do that. I should just go in and record all the instruments and do whatever." I did that for the first D-Wolf record. It was me on bass for one song and drums for three songs. Point being: I'm sick of just dicking around. I've got to start my life and just go for it at this point. I like the new stuff. It's different though. It's more calm I guess, but that's not bad.
I feel like Donovan Wolfington has tried to do a lot of different things. On the last album, you had a hardcore punk tune and a slow metal tune. Now, the new album has a song inspired by Kanye West.
That was all Mike's doing. It was a beat that Mike had just made and showed to me. I said, "Do you want to just put it on the record?" At this point, we literally gave no fucks…
Donovan Wolfington's last album came out in summer 2015. This has been the band's biggest gap between releases. What has taken Donovan Wolfington so long to put out this album?
It wasn't supposed to be that way! We recorded it last July with James Whitten, but we were building the studio in April and May (now it's known as the Palace, across from the Music Box). We did the Gland show there. We try to throw shows and Mike's doing records out of there. But at that time, it was just going to be our space. It was going to be this place where we would do this record and it was going to be cool because it's super DIY… Around that time, I remember Matt was working a lot. There was a lot of stuff where we couldn't organize schedules. Alex was working, too. We went in [and] not everyone even knew the songs. It was like, "I've had this song for four years. We're gonna put it on the record. There's no two ways about it. This is how it's going to happen, no matter what." James [Whitten] was fine with that. In the middle of the record, Matt was doing his songs and he had wanted his songs a certain way, but we only had the week to do it. We'd already paid for it. Being DIY is so dumb because we should've just added more time, but we wanted to own this record and do it all ourselves. We wanted to have the rights to it (which we still do and I'm happy about it). Once we were done we went on a three month tour. We were so rushed for time. The idea was that we were going to have it done when we got back from the three month tour so that we could mix it real quick and then start pitching it to labels. And we did that. We went out on this tour, but during that three month span where we went over to Europe with Caddy[whompus], I just started to realize, "Oh shit. This isn't going to work." That was the point in time where that thought first entered my head… I remember being over there and just being exhausted and realizing how we all were and what was going to happen in the coming months if certain things didn't happen. We were just losing money over there [in Europe]. When we got back, we had done the record, mixed it, talked about it, and everything. I had sent out five songs to different labels and we ended up talking with a really big one. If there were three bigger punk labels that you were talking to as a younger band, I'm sure if you just took a wild guess you'd probably get the right answer. We were talking to a label like that and it began a thing that divided everybody. It was something that I really wanted to do. Everyone was questioning, "Do I want to commit this much to our lives?" which is completely understandable, but brought me to the conclusion of: well then why are we doing it? We all had different ideas of what this was going to be going in. I'm sick of working hard to get tours and doing all this stuff, especially because at that time we had a bum agent who didn't do anything for us; I ended up doing everything. It was one of those moments where you think, "How long can I do this?" It's just not fun anymore—especially with everyone else's projects and lives. All that started to develop too, which is not a bad thing. I'm stoked for everyone. We're still really close.
Do you feel that Donovan Wolfington breaking up is a result of you guys entering the post-college phase of your lives?
Absolutely. At the end of the day, there were no fights. With the label thing, there was a bit of a divide. There was a bit of distrust between everyone and where everyone's loyalties lay. Some people seem to wonder why it even mattered. But it does matter, because this is our life; this is something we should take very seriously. When you narrowed it down, everyone started to realize that we all think really differently about music and how we want to pursue our careers. Alex has his solo record. Mike has this studio and is doing records out of there all the time. Matt has Pope and he has a solo record too. I know he's recording that this week because I just saw him five minutes ago. I don't want to take a backseat to this stuff that we've been doing for so long if we're not really all into it. We're all into playing shows and chilling, but we can do that anyways. I, personally, want to take this a bit more seriously. Since then, everything has been good. It was taking a look back and thinking about where our side hustles lay… I think we're all kind of finding where we lay and what we want to do with that. It's been better, I think. I've been a happier person for it. I'm not on the edge of my seat.
You mentioned Matt's songwriting. I noticed he doesn't sing lead on any of the songs on this new album. Could you talk a little bit about the songwriting process for this album?
That was a weird thing. He originally had songs that were on the record, but it was this ratio that got less and less because he's writing for so much stuff. He had songs on the Pope record and then he had songs that he wanted on the solo record. The ones he got for us were great songs but when we started talking with label X, he explained, "I don't want to lock my songs into something like that because it's really intense and I want to own these things." He took them off and, rightfully so; I get it. I think they're going to go on his solo record, which he's doing right now. That was another discrepancy where I think we all had different ideas on how we wanted to go into this one. On my end, I had so many songs for such a long time that if they don't go on there, I'm going to snap… It was much less of a collaborative process than the last one, which I think definitely pissed people off too. Sorry, but I didn't know that I was going to be so upset if these specific songs weren't out the way they are now. I don't really care about anything else more than it being out in the world now so that people can enjoy it. We're doing it no label—DIY… just Bandcamp.
Given the recording process and everything, do you feel happy with how the record turned out?
Yeah. I'm stoked; I really love it. I think that every Donovan Wolfington record has had some kind of strain on it, which has been so annoying. It shouldn't have been that way because every other aspect of our band for the past six years was so fun. Working it up the way we wanted to do it was the fun part, but once it came to the recording, I was unhappy or Matt was unhappy. Everyone had their own take on it. That was the idea of it—that this was democracy, run by the four of us. We've had a million different lineups but even in those times it was kind of the same way. No one just said, "Yeah. This is the way it is." I think that kind of thing led to everyone getting angry at each other. It eventually got resolved, but I hated the recording process for every single record. It was never fun. With the last one, it was the producer dying and having to take stuff out. The one before that, we did it in the Maze; it was a ragtag process. This one was, oddly enough, very much in our control. Once we have it in our control, there's the opposite [problems that come with that]. I've never liked recording for that reason—there was always something ridiculous and stupid.
Is that why you feel that you want to have more control over the solo stuff? You talked about wanting to record all the instruments yourself.
Yeah. I don't want to do anything else. I don't want to deal with any other ideas. I want it to be super raw. Like, here you go: this was the way it was thought out, and this is the way it is. No second guessing anything. We always wanted to do that with D-Wolf because that's how you're going to get the best product and get everyone's input and that makes it such a group thing. That's great but, on my end, it was also so straining to the point that some people would be saying, "Let's do it. Let's get it done" and other people would say, "Well let's really think about. Let's really bring it home." They are two ways of looking at it and neither way is better than the other. It just depends on how you want to do it; but when those two are really different, they don't really work together. This album was such a process for me that I just want to make something and have it be the way I intended it. I just want to like it fully. I really want to love it fully, but I don't know if that is going to happen.
At the end of the day, there were no fights.
So Donovan Wolfington has decided to only do one more show and that's it?
I don't know about that yet. That is something we've kept up in the air. It was originally going to be in July, but now I think we're pushing it to the fall. People leave for the summer, so it would be nice to do that. Maybe [we'll] do [Gainesville] Fest, but I doubt it. I like the Fest but I don't want to drive nine hours for one show. Part of me thinks maybe we should do a tour. I'm sure we will at some point. I just don't want to do it anytime soon, because I don't really feel like it.
So you guys aren't drawing a hard line and saying, "We're breaking up… period" so much as that you don't want to keep doing what you've been doing?
We're done in the sense that I don't want to do another record. Why put ourselves through that? To me, it just doesn't make any sense. Let's just work on each other and ourselves and make it something special, as opposed to having strain and conflicting ideas. I don't see another record coming out of the project Donovan Wolfington. I don't think it's going to happen. Tour? Possible. If we do tour, I'd like to do a Northeast or California thing; I don't want to do the full U.S. or anything like that. I'd like to go to some places that we really like and then just end it… just have it be what it is. I like the idea of having this record be for everyone who really liked us. No song premieres on whatever site that some blogger doesn't really care about or all the hype created around a record just to sell more records.
You've been tour managing PEARS lately. How has that been going?
It's been awesome. It's so fun. I learned a lot with them. They were the band that always brought us up and was always encouraging, trying to put us on. They were always super cool to us, and when they started to blow up, I was watching, [thinking] damn, not only so proud, but thinking that it would be awesome to see that band every night. Brian [Pretus, PEARS guitarist] and I were at that Jimmy Eat World show at the Joy Theater. We both got in and it was me, him, and his wife. He was saying, "They have a second guitar player. It'd be cool if PEARS had a second guitar player." I was just like, "D-Wolf is breaking up! Let me play second guitar in your band!" [laughs] He said, "What?!?!" He was one of the first few people I told. I don't think I'll end up playing guitar for PEARS. I was just drunk, but he said, "Tell you what, we are going out on this Me First and the Gimme Gimmes tour. We know you have a van. Would you like to guitar tech and drive?" I said, absolutely! At that point, I hadn't been on tour since Europe. It was a solid six to seven months where I was just at home working. It wasn't bad, but you start to think a lot when you're home. I hadn't been home for that long in years.
That's probably the longest you've been off of the road since you started Donovan Wolfington.
Absolutely. Going out on that tour was just so fun. D-Wolf never really did a tour like that. The biggest tour we did was with Joyce Manor, who are friends of ours. Obviously, we look up to those dudes too but it's not Jay Bentley from Bad Religion, where I'm just like, "No Control was the first record I ever bought!" [laughs] It was just so fun and eye-opening, especially getting to watch PEARS play to these huge crowds. Then we did the week-long tour in Florida from Atlanta to south Florida. Zach [Quinn] blew out his voice and Maura [Weaver], his girlfriend who was in Mixtapes, and I got to sing. We split Zach's vocals for two nights. The first night was fine because it was 40 people and all older punks who were all, "Yeah! The show must go on!" The next night was like 125 people in Orlando and it was people who were actually stoked to see PEARS. Both Maura and I just looked at each other thinking, "Fuck. I don't want to do this again." It was a fun one-time thing, but I was really worried about how people would react. But everyone was really stoked, and we sold a bunch of merch. It was really cool and Zach was really thankful. It was weird. You can't fill in for Zach Quinn. He's a tough one. I don't know how he does it. He's got it really down to a science, especially the notes that he hits and how fast he's singing. It was tough for me to not run out of breath.
Tell me more about what is next for you musically.
I'm going to do a solo record and I'm really excited. I think it's going to be really cool. I believe I'm going to call the project Ghost Boy. Then I'm going to do a hardcore project called Unarmed Cops. I want to do everything one at a time. I was talking with Bryan Funck about it. He had heard the new record before everybody because James [Whitten] does all the Thou stuff and James did our record. He heard one song, I think "Waves." He said, "Yeah, man. I liked that one song until it got all metal and stupid." I said, "Sick. Thanks Bryan." He said, "Why do you do that? It's always really dumb when you do that. You should just start projects that are one thing and have a bunch of different projects, not fit it all into one project." I said, "No. That's our thing. That's how I want to make it." And he was totally right. He's been right about everything for forever. He knows things and is a very smart guy, so I think I'm going to try that for a while. By late 2017 or early 2018, I want to have some stuff going and get some shows going for the solo thing. If that goes well, I'll focus on that. [Then] I'll not write another Ghost Boy record but write an Unarmed Cops record, which I really want to do with Brian from PEARS. It wouldn't be PEARS-style stuff where it's melodic. It'd be more Trash Talkesque, but not Trash Talk.
How has New Orleans impacted you as a musician and a person?
I would not be anywhere near as well-rounded or relaxed as I am. I was born in New Orleans East, moved up to Connecticut, and came back for school at Loyola. I remember when I first got to Loyola, I was so pissed off and rigid. I was coming from that Northeast hardcore punk thing. Straight Edge is really big up there and all that type of stuff. Coming down here, I realized that you can do whatever you want when you just follow the rules, which are: be nice to everyone, when you want something you ask for it, and follow through with your convictions, which is oddly tougher than it sounds. That to me is how I've run my life. When you go to other places, you bring that type of vibe and sometimes it's almost off-putting to people, like saying hi to everyone on the street. People get weirded out by that, especially in the Northeast. I remember I was walking with my buddy Theo from Ovlov in Boston and I was saying hi to everyone on the street. He commented, "Dude why are you doing that? You're crazy" and I told him, "No I'm not!" It was so weird. I like that this is a city where we can kind of look at the rest of the world from our little microcosm of cool and awesome stuff. Just kind of make our assumptions and realize how we want to fit in with that. It's not a New York and an L.A. thing where I'm trying to make it. I'm hustling, bustling. I've got to talk to these people and do these things. No. Fuck that.
