With sustainability and social impact now a driving force behind many consumer purchasing decisions, insurance company Zurich UK is launching a new initiative designed to increase transparency in its own supply chain.
The insurer is today unveiling its new flagship Supplier Accreditation Scheme, designed to encourage its suppliers to adopt sustainable business practices across their respective organisations.
The Scheme measures the strength of suppliers' responsible business practices by inviting firms to complete a questionnaire about their community and environmental activities. The questionnaire covers a broad range of topics including environmental impact, diversity and inclusion, workplace rights, governance and community activity. Zurich's in-house experts score the supplier responses and award gold, silver or bronze accreditation depending on the suppliers' approach to sustainability.
The scheme is being rolled out across the insurance firm's complete UK supplier base. In the first wave of accreditations, six suppliers were put through their paces; car hire firm Enterprise Rent-A-Car, business and brand communications specialists RR Donnelley (RRD), delivery company Royal Mail, catering company Sodexo, delivery management company Whistl and stationery specialists WildHearts, with all six firms receiving gold accreditation.
Sophie Timms, Head of UK Corporate Affairs said, 'Zurich is committed to sustainability and ensuring that our business activities have a positive impact on society, the environment and the economy.
"We want to work with suppliers who share the same ethos so we've launched the Supplier Accreditation Scheme to encourage them to do the right thing. We're delighted to see that some of our suppliers are already embracing the behaviours and values which we firmly believe are best for business, customers, their employees and society.
"We strongly believe that by integrating social and environmental concerns into our business operations we can make a real difference and help effect social change. We hope we can work with more of our suppliers to help drive a movement for further change and embed sustainability across our whole supply chain.
Zurich UK's accreditation is valid for three years. Firms also have the opportunity to resubmit their questionnaires within a year provided they can demonstrate they've taken action to improve their corporate responsibility measures within their firms.

Here's Why Carly Fiorina Is Such a Controversial Figure
Carly Fiorina is the former CEO of Hewlitt-Packard and ran unsuccessfully for a Republican Senate seat from California in 2010.
Andrew Harrer—Bloomberg/Getty Images
By Dan Mitchell
May 4, 2015 3:10 PM EDT
As a now-official presidential candidate, there's no way Carly Fiorina can ignore her tenure at Hewlett-Packard, which she ran as CEO for six tumultuous years before the board ousted her in 2005. By that time, the company's stock had lost about half its value and tens of thousands of people had lost their jobs.
Fiorina took H-P's helm in 1999 at the height of the tech boom. She left after the boom went bust. It seems likely that H-P, a giant in office equipment, would have faced huge challenges no matter who was running the company. But most observers—including the company's board—have concluded that she made a bad situation worse than it might otherwise have been.
Fiorina came to H-P after quickly rising through the executive ranks at AT&T and later its spinoff, Lucent Technologies. Her record at that point was, by all accounts, stellar. When she started as CEO, she was the first woman to head a Fortune 20 company. Her ascension was presented as a major historical turning point.

Right away, she began planning to restructure the company, and took heat for laying off thousands of workers. The decision to spin-off a division that made technical testing equipment into what became Agilent Technologies predated her arrival. She managed that spinoff in a successful IPO.
She quickly turned her attention to remaking Hewlett-Packard. The plan was to directly take on IBM as an end-to-end, computing-and-services business. One of her first moves was to announce the acquisition of the tech services division of Pricewaterhousecoopers for $14 billion. When Wall Street balked, she withdrew the offer. After the dotcom crash, IBM picked up the division for $4 billion.
She next set her sights on Compaq Computer in 2002 for $19 billion. That decision continues to haunt both Fiorina and H-P.
Taking on Compaq was controversial from the get-go. A bruising-but-unsuccessful proxy battle ensued. Walter Hewlett, a board member and son of company co-founder Walter Hewlett, vehemently opposed the deal. Outside observers and some big shareholders that it would dilute the company's core, profitable printer business. It did much more than that, with H-P's results sinking every quarter. Eventually, it led to 17,000 more people being laid off as Dell Computer, much more highly focused on the PC market, came to dominate.
Upon her exit, H-P gave Fiorina what was widely considered a "golden parachute" worth about $40 million.
When she was finally ousted, the board insisted that it wasn't because of corporate results, but because of her "management style." Fiorina, who was often described as imperious and distant, took a lot of criticism for giving herself big bonuses even while laying people off, and for hitting the speaking circuit even while the company was in a tailspin.
That presents perhaps Fiorina's greatest challenge, since it's her record as a manager that she is now citing as a reason to elect her president. An even greater challenge? The fact that so many lists of history's "worst CEOs" include her name.

Defending the Homeland: WRNMMC Operates Drive-Up Immunization Clinic during COVID-19 Pandemic
Defending the Homeland: WRNMMC Operates Drive-Up Immunization Clinic
Lindsey Minto, a Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) beneficiary, receives an immunization in the WRNMMC's Drive-Up Immunization Clinic.
6/3/2020 By: Bernard S. Little, WRNMMC Public Affairs
Coronavirus | Immunization Healthcare
A nurse at Walter Reed National Miitary Medical Center prepares an immunization for a WRNMMC beneficiary.
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's Allergy and Immunology Service began the Drive-up Immunization Clinic on May 11 to continue to serve beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The clinic is set up outside of the main hospital building to prevent the possible spread of the novel coronavirus within the hospital.
The Drive-Up Immunization Clinic is located in the temporary tent structure in the parking lot for Building 85T north of the America Building (Building 19); and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The clinic offers all immunizations given in the indoor clinic, including PPD (purified protein derivative) testing for tuberculosis, according to Army Col. (Dr.) Brian D. Robertson, Allergy/Immunology consultant to the Surgeon General and chief of Allergy and Immunology Service at WRNMMC.
"Our patients and parents of children were delaying immunizations because of the COVID-19 pandemic. When we asked parents why they were delaying immunizations, the answer was that the hospital was viewed as slightly unsafe because of the risk of COVID-19 infection. Low rates of immunizations increase the risk of disease outbreaks, especially measles and pertussis (whooping cough). Our goal is to increase our immunization rates," Robertson stated.
Two pediatric staff and four immunization clinic staff members provide services in the clinic. "The pediatric staff are weighing and measuring children that missed these measurements in March and April because they had telemedicine well-child visits," Robertson explained.
He encouraged parents and others to maintain their immunization health during COVID-19. "Other diseases have not gone away, and we need to keep preventing those other infections by immunizing ourselves and our children," Robertson continued. "All screening and waiting are done in the [beneficiary's] car. For some adults, we can deliver the vaccines in the car and the patient does not have to get out. Our immunization areas are cleaned and sterilized between patients, and staff members wear PPE [personal protective equipment] designed to protect them and the patients. All patients/parents must wear cloth or surgical masks for these appointments."
As long as patients continue to use it, the Drive-Up Immunization Clinic will remain in operation, Robertson stated. "We are still operating our indoor clinic, and if we find that patients are not using the drive-up clinic, we will stop using it. We are also using our experience to prepare for the annual influenza vaccine drive this fall and hopefully, a COVID-19 vaccine flu drive in the future. We anticipate that both of these vaccine drives will require social distancing," he concluded.
Genetic sequence data for SARS-CoV-2
Genetic sequence data for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes #COVID19, plays a vital role in force health protection efforts within the DoD. To jumpstart sequencing efforts, the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch's Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response applied a collaborative approach to sequencing capabilities. Resulting sequence data will provide critical information about transmission patterns, track diagnostic effectiveness, and guide the development and evaluation of medical countermeasures.

Q: Why I get high observation when I generate data from t-distribution in R I want to generate 200 samples from t-distribution with the degree of freedom=1 and sample size is 10 and in R
I use this code
set.seed(1234)
B <- matrix(rt(10*200, 1), 200)

But when I see the sample number 167 (B[167,]) I found this high number 602.1691029
And this strange thing in the t-distribution. What is wrong here?

A:
And this strange thing in the t-distribution.

No, it isn't, not with $1$ degree of freedom.
The tails in the Cauchy are so heavy even its mean is undefined (not finite). Very, very large deviations happen reasonably often -- the more values you generate the bigger the largest-magnitude value will tend to be; indeed with the Cauchy it grows roughly linearly with sample size (e.g. $\text{median}({\max_i}(|X_{i}|))$ increases approximately in proportion to $n$; with $2000$ standard Cauchy values the median of the distribution of the largest-magnitude one is over $1800$ and the median of the distribution of the second-largest-magnitude observation is over $750$).
Note that $P(|X|\geq 602)\approx 0.001$. If you generate $2000$ of them you expect roughly about $2$ of those observations to be at least that large in magnitude.
Rather than being surprised to see one of that size, you would often see even larger ones.

What is wrong here?

Nothing, this is typical. You might like to read more about the Cauchy and other t distributions with low d.f.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_distribution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution
A number of posts on site here discuss interesting properties of the Cauchy ($t_1$) distribution.

A: Number 135 is even larger.
I guess the problem comes from the fact you're using df = 1, which looks odd. Because the uncertainty is just too large with one observation..
You won't get these large numbers starting at e.g. df = 5.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi will arrive in Bangladesh's capital today to discuss providing aid to the 90,000 Rohingya Muslims who entered the country over the past week after clashes with Myanmar's military beginning on August 25.
Elements of the Rohingya—around 2% of Myanmar's population—have been fighting the government for decades. The ethnic minority are denied citizenship and basic services such as education. In 2012, violent riots between Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims erupted in the northern Rakhine State, leaving almost 100 dead and 100,000 displaced. Reprisals and counter-reprisals continued and intensified last October following attacks by Rohingya militants on government troops.
The issue is one of the most pressing facing the country's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who met with Indonesia's foreign minister yesterday.
But Ms Suu Kyi must be careful—her domestic popularity will suffer if she takes a pro-Rohingya stance. On the other hand, she's at risk of further damaging her status as a Nobel Prize-winning defender of human rights. Further complicating the situation is the country's strong military, which will prove difficult to rein in.

Films of Henry Hathaway: Brigham Young (1940)
Jim Lane's Cinedrome Posted on May 11, 2013 by Jim Lane June 14, 2019
I now return to my too-long-dormant series commemorating the movies of Henry Hathaway, my personal nominee for the most neglected and underrated director of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
But this post is more than that. It's also Cinedrome's contribution to The Mary Astor Blogathon, co-hosted by my Classic Movie Blog Association colleagues Dorian of Tales of the Easily Distracted and Ruth of Silver Screenings. Click on the first link in this paragraph for a list of other entries in the blogathon, and on the other two links for a more general entry into Dorian and Ruth's excellent blogs — a lot of great stuff there! (This blogathon, by the way, celebrates the 107th anniversary of Ms. Astor's birth, born Lucile Vasconcellos Langhanke on May 3, 1906.)
Mary Astor was an actress of remarkable versatility, which she demonstrated time and again in the course of her 43-year screen career. That point is amply illustrated by this image for the blogathon, since nothing could be more different from the Mary Astor you see here than the one you'll see in the movie I've chosen for the subject of this post…
"Darryl," Henry Hathaway said when Darryl F. Zanuck borrowed him from Paramount to direct Brigham Young, "the two dullest things in the whole world are a wagon train and religion. Now you take them and put them together."
"This man Brigham Young," Zanuck replied, "is more important than the story."
Zanuck first became interested in filming the story of the "Mormon Moses" in 1938, at the suggestion of 20th Century Fox staff writer Eleanor Harris and with the encouragement of novelist Louis Bromfield, whom Zanuck hired to write a screen story for another Fox staffer, Lamar Trotti, to turn into a script.
(A side note on Louis Bromfield: In 1940 he was one of the most famous writers in America, considered the peer of Faulkner, Hemingway and Fitzgerald; notice that he receives authorial pride of place on the title card for Brigham Young, in type even larger than that for Zanuck himself. Nearly all of his 30-plus books were bestsellers, and he won a 1927 Pulitzer Prize for his third novel, Early Autumn. In his day he was a prime example of the Literary Man as Celebrity: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married at his Ohio farm in 1945. Alas, when he died in 1956 it was almost as if every one of his readers had died with him, and he is largely — and unfairly — forgotten today. A number of his books were made into memorable movies, and I may be posting on some of them in time to come.)
Although the title of the picture was Brigham Young, top billing went to Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell as two fictitious characters created by Bromfield and Trotti. Power was cast as Jonathan Kent, a young non-Mormon "outsider" who ends up scouting for Brigham Young and his followers on their trek west, while Darnell was to play Zina Webb, a Mormon girl with whom he falls in love.
Originally slated to direct Brigham Young was Fox contract director Henry King, the studio's specialist in historical pictures and atmospheric Americana. King had already directed such Fox pictures as State Fair (1933), Ramona and Lloyds of London (both '36), In Old Chicago ('37), Alexander's Ragtime Band ('38), and Jesse James and Stanley and Livingstone (both '39). (Several of those had starred Tyrone Power, although Power had yet to be cast in Brigham Young.) It seemed a natural fit, but for some reason the deal with King fell through. James D'Arc, in his commentary on the Brigham Young DVD, says that he could find no documentation in the Fox archives explaining this. I think it's just possible — and I hasten to emphasize that this is the purest speculation on my part — that King, a Catholic, was uncomfortable with the Mormon story. I have absolutely no evidence for this, but it strikes me as the sort of thing that wouldn't necessarily be committed to paper.
In any case, whatever the reason, in January 1940 Zanuck arranged to borrow Henry Hathaway from Paramount to direct the picture. That was when Hathaway made the remark that opens this post; it was also when Hathaway suggested changing the religious orientation of the two star characters: make Jonathan Kent the Mormon and Zina Webb the outsider. Zanuck agreed, and Hathaway (at his own expense) brought in Grover Jones, who had worked with him on Lives of a Bengal Lancer ('35) and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine ('36), among others, to write the change into the script. (Lamar Trotti, Hathaway later said, was incensed, and didn't speak to the director for the rest of his life.)
For the all-important role of Brigham Young himself, Zanuck waffled. He considered Spencer Tracy, Don Ameche, Walter Huston, Albert Dekker, even Clark Gable (assuming he could be borrowed from MGM). But all, it seemed to Zanuck, had too-well-established screen personae. Zanuck even halted pre-production while he wrestled with the question. In the end, he went out on a limb, casting Dean Jagger, who had been rattling around Hollywood as a freelance actor since 1929 without making much of an impression. As this dual portrait shows (that's the real Brigham, circa 1850, on the left), Jagger's resemblance to Young was striking. Serving as technical advisor on the picture was 79-year-old George Pyper, a Salt Lake City theater buff and manager of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. As a young man, Pyper had known Brigham Young personally (just think about that for a moment), and he had this to say in 1940: "Besides resembling him in appearance, there's also a striking similarity to voice. I was only 17 when Brigham Young died, but I had known him well. Mr. Jagger even has some of Brigham's mannerisms and his walk."
Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was played by Vincent Price, then in the third year of his movie career (Brigham Young was only the eighth of his 199 film and TV credits). The role was merely a supporting one — almost a cameo, considering the major star Price would become — since it was Smith's murder by a lynch mob on June 27, 1844 that propelled Brigham Young to leadership of the Mormon Church. Hathaway later remembered that he insisted on Price for the role: "He seemed just right — so ethereal." In a 1972 letter to James D'Arc, Price wrote: "I think one interesting sidelight was the wonderful direction of Henry Hathaway — how he avoided any 'religious' feeling and made it a believable story of strong men and women fighting for their faith. He was particularly vehement on this score with the part of Joseph. There was to be no hint of the standard Christ image — rather he felt Joseph was the interpreter of God's word and as such should not wear a halo."
A fictitious character was Angus Duncan, played by Brian Donlevy (shown here on the right with Frank Thomas as Hubert Crum, also fictitious; Donlevy was even considered — ever so briefly, and probably not seriously — for the part of Brigham). In Trotti's script, Duncan rivals Brigham Young for leadership in the wake of Joseph Smith's murder. In fact, Young had no serious rival in the eyes of most of Smith's followers, although a few men siphoned off some believers into splinter sects of their own. Angus Duncan is the voice of dissent within the Mormon ranks, at first — while Smith is still alive — advocating for craven surrender in the face of the Mormon Church's frontier persecutors. When Duncan stands in council and whimpers "Just give them whatever they want so we can have peace!", audiences of 1940 were clearly expected to remember Neville Chamberlain on the London tarmac after surrendering to Adolf Hitler at Munich. Later, as Brigham Young leads the Latter-day Saints on their westward exodus, Duncan becomes a 19th century American version of the Old Testament figure of Dathan, who rebelled against Moses (the Edward G. Robinson role in Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 The Ten Commandments). Even the names are similar: Duncan; Dathan. Duncan is forever second-guessing and carping at Brigham ("I told you what would happen if we settled in this valley, but you wouldn't listen to me! You ran off with a false prophet!"). At one point on the trail, he even hears talk from an eastbound traveler about gold in California (an anachronism; gold wasn't discovered till more than a year after it happens in the movie), Duncan then passes the gossip off as a revelation from God, hoping to lead the Mormons astray — in a real sense, offering them a Golden Calf (an analogy the script makes explicit).
Mary Astor played Mary Ann Young, Brigham's senior wife. It was a tricky assignment, because of course Mary Ann wasn't the only one. (In fact, on the right in this picture is Jean Rogers as Clara, Wife No. 2.) Long before 1940, the Mormons had renounced polygamy, but it was still one of the main things people associated with the early church, and Brigham Young handled the subject gingerly. An anti-Mormon yahoo makes a crude joke about "50 wives". When, on their westward migration, the Mormons stop at Fort Bridger, Brigham has a conversation with the famous scout Jim Bridger, who asks, "Say, how many…" Brigham cuts him off: "Twelve." And the conversation quickly switches to other things. Later, in a fireside chat with Mary Ann, Brigham praises her: "Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without you. Always the same, never complaining, never jealous of the others…" Others? An inattentive viewer (which I certainly was when I first saw Brigham Young as a child) would think Mary Ann was Brigham's only wife. Jean Rogers gets screen credit but speaks hardly a line of dialogue, and there are occasional shots of other young women riding in or walking alongside the Young wagon, but in terms of the dramatic action of the movie, Mary Ann speaks and acts for them all. Here's James D'Arc in his DVD commentary:
"As Mary Ann, [Astor] is pivotal in bolstering Brigham in his doubts, in the midst of his almost unbearable responsibility. Hers is a strong presence, decisive, practical and unsentimental. She prays that God will talk to him, even as she encourages Brigham with her love and support."
The only other mention of polygamy — and in fact the only sustained one — comes in two later scenes (90 min. into the 112 min. picture). First, Jonathan Kent proposes marriage to Zina Webb, and she scornfully wonders how many more he's going to ask, and how he plans to go about it: "Just imagine, 30 wives combing your beard!" This scene was obviously written by Grover Jones, since in Trotti's original script it was Zina and not Jonathan who was the Mormon (how the proposal would have been treated if Hathaway hadn't suggested the change is anybody's guess).
Immediately after, there's a scene between Jonathan and Porter Rockwell (a historical figure played by John Carradine) where the two humorously discuss the possible population boom under plural marriage, Rockwell saying, "I'm aimin' to do my share." And with that, the subject is closed for the remainder of the movie.
Other events in early Mormon history were treated more fully and dramatically. The picture begins with a nightrider raid on the Kent homestead during a party. Jonathan's father is beaten to death, and even Zina's father is shot dead — even though he's not a Mormon himself, just somebody being friendly with the wrong people at the wrong time. This and later scenes of the persecution of Mormons had clear parallels — which Trotti's script underscored — in Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews. The Holocaust was still in the future, but pogroms like Kristallnacht were already on record; Zanuck even referred to raids like this in 1840s Ohio, Missouri and Illinois as "pogroms".
In the movie, Joseph Smith is tried and convicted of treason. The trial is fictional; actually, Smith was awaiting trial when he was murdered. But it dramatizes the rabid anti-Mormon sentiment of the time in the raving denunciations of the prosecutor (Marc Lawrence) and the unhesitating "guilty" verdict of the jury. It also allows Brigham Young to address the court, describing his first meeting with Joseph Smith (shown in flashback) and delivering a ringing endorsement of freedom of religion: "You can't convict Joseph Smith just because he happens to believe something you don't believe. You can't go against everything your ancestors fought and died for. And if you do, your names, not Joseph Smith's, will go down in history as traitors. They'll stink in the records, and be a shameful thing on the tongues of your children." (In fact, during the events that led up to Smith's killing, Young was in Massachusetts spreading the word and recruiting converts.) After the trial, a resigned Smith implicitly transfers care of his flock to Young — "I want you to stay and take care of my people." — before being led off with his brother Hyrum (Stanley Andrews, the "Old Ranger" of TV's Death Valley Days). Later, the mob murder of Hyrum and Joseph is shown pretty much as it happened that night in Carthage, Ill.
The next great dramatic set piece in Brigham Young is the exodus from Nauvoo, Ill. in the face of mounting hostility. It also occasions the first open conflict between Brigham and Angus Duncan. Like Moses in the Book of Exodus, Brigham prevails, and the Mormons light out on their trek by crossing the ice of the frozen Mississippi. Again, dramatic license is taken. The Mormons set out over a period of weeks in February 1846, not in a single night, and the Mississippi, though filled with ice, wasn't quite frozen enough to bear the wagon train like this. But with the Mormons escaping from a band of vigilantes hot on their heels, it makes a dramatic parallel to the Israelites fleeing from Pharaoh's army through the parted Red Sea.
This spectacular shot, by the way, was the work of special effects genius Fred Sersen. Director Hathaway had nowhere near that number of wagons at his disposal; the building and maintaining of Conestoga wagons was an all-but-lost art by 1940, to say nothing of finding and feeding the horses and oxen to pull them. Most studios had no more than a handful of wagons in their rolling stock, which had to be cleverly filmed and edited to swell their numbers. Many scenes of the westward trek in Brigham Young were enhanced by the use of stock footage from Raoul Walsh's early sound epic The Big Trail, one of the last pictures to amass Conestoga wagons in anything like the numbers suggested here. (The Big Trail, a legendary box-office dud in 1930, holds up quite well today, and rates a post of its own.)
The climax of Brigham Young comes, not surprisingly, in the spring of 1848. After a grueling and disastrous winter of 1847-48, when the Mormon settlement in the Great Salt Lake Valley faced starvation that threatened to decimate their numbers — if not annihilate them entirely — things are beginning to look up with the spring planting. Then, a new disaster. A sudden infestation of crickets arrives to wipe out their crops. This scene was shot in Elko, Nev., where just such an invasion (at the time, anyhow) occurred like clockwork every few years. Hathaway and the company flew to Elko and waited. Just as they were getting impatient — "Don't they know they're holding up the schedule?" — the crickets arrived, and it was a nightmare as much for the company as it had been for the Mormons in 1848. Mary Astor left vivid descriptions in both her volumes of memoirs: the ugly bugs, countless millions of them, the size of her thumb, the piles of them as much as a foot high, the stench as they died and rotted in the 110-degree heat. The scene was scheduled to be shot over four days, but after one horrible day the cast and crew were in revolt; the hell with the money, they were going home. Hathaway and Grover Jones put their heads together, combining, shifting, telescoping. Finally Hathaway assembled the company, promising to wrap things by noon the next day if everybody would knuckle down and go to it. They didn't make noon, but by four p.m., with heroic efforts, they were done.
In the movie, just as the Mormon despair matches that of their 1940 portrayers, comes…
…the famous Miracle of the Seagulls, a sky-blotting flight of birds that, in the words of one Mormon of the 1840s, came "sweep[ing] the crickets as they go", devouring the insects and saving the settlers' crops.
Again, some dramatic license here. Where in history the cricket invasion had descended on the settlement for several days, to be followed by two weeks of the saving intervention of the seagulls, the movie has the whole thing, crickets and seagulls both, occurring on the same frantic day, set to the stirring strains of Alfred Newman's epic score. (In a nicely subliminal touch, the theme Newman used to score the arrival of the crickets was a variation on the music he used to accompany the nightrider raid on the Kent homestead at the opening of the picture.)
The scene of the seagulls, like this shot here, is another example of Fred Sersen's work, combining images of the company on location at Lone Pine, Cal., with footage of seagulls shot months earlier at Utah Lake near Provo.
And finally, it must be said that in point of historical fact, Brigham Young wasn't there for the Miracle of the Seagulls; he was off to the east arranging for the safe passage of later Mormon settlers, and he only heard of his followers' miraculous deliverance by letter from his deputies on the scene. For a movie, of course, this would never do; Dean Jagger's Brigham — along with Mary Ann, and Jonathan and Zina, and even the ankle-biting Angus Duncan — had to be on hand, right there in what would one day be Salt Lake City, Utah, reveling in the divine vindication of Brigham Young's leadership, which had brought him and his followers across a thousand miles of hostile prairie to their Promised Land.
After its premiere in Salt Lake City, Brigham Young underwent a title change for its general release, becoming Brigham Young — Frontiersman. This is how it appeared in reviews and publicity, and on posters and lobby cards, as a way of emphasizing the pioneer rather than religious aspect of the story. But it never appeared that way on screen, as the title card that begins this post attests. Now, the "Frontiersman" is gone for good, having presumably served its purpose, and Brigham Young again bears, in all labeling and packaging, the title under which it premiered in Salt Lake City on August 23, 1940.

Jim: Great article on a neglected movie. I don't know a lot about the real story, and I found the historical background info here very interesting.
Alfred Newman's title music for "Brigham Young" must have been a great favorite of someone (Newman? Zanuck?) because it was used often in westerns in the 1940s and 1950s, such as "Yellow Sky" and "The Gunfighter". I always thought it a strange piece to open the latter, its jaunty rhythms quite in contrast to the grim story that "The Gunfighter" tells.
Another great post, Jim.

CW:You raise an interesting question. Hathaway's picture emphasized the viciousness of anti-Mormon persecutions, the hardships and spiritual commitment of the westward migration, and the Miracle of the Seagulls; soft-pedaled the Mormon polygamy; and omitted any mention of Joseph Smith's militarism and political ambition. I suspect that today's filmmakers, assuming they were interested at all, would take a more-or-less directly opposite approach.

Well, there may be no more Mockingbird Mondays, but here's a watercolor of a Mockingbird I did a while back. I couldn't get the lighting on the picture right, but if you click on it to enlarge it, it is a little clearer.

So, as some of you may know, I'm speaking at BrainShare again (I think my fifth year, which in some ways makes absolutely no sense, but if they keep letting me do it, I'll keep doing it.) I turned in the final drafts of my talks this week, and am trying to get ready.
One of the issues I have is that my now 2-year-old laptop's battery was reduced in capacity. So I bought a new one, but I bought the extra large laptop battery, so I have over 5 hours of battery life now. Better than the two I was getting.
Also, I bought pants. I need black or khaki pants to present (one of the precious BrainShare perks are the speaker shirts, a polo or button-down shirt.) and I have some but I bought more since they're kind of wearing out.
And I got a new suitcase for Christmas.
So, laptop battery, suitcase, pants. Salt Lake City, here we come!


There has been much buzz about the new Cybex Cloud Q, a rear-facing-only seat that offers a recline option when not in the vehicle! How does it measure up?
Handle position: must be in "drive position" when installed in the vehicle – lowest locked position toward the back of the car.
Shell height: 20″ with headrest extended all the way.
The installation with lower anchors on the Cloud Q base is virtually identical to the lower anchor installation on the Cybex Aton 2 and Cybex Aton Q. The recline foot has to be extended all the way to release the lower anchors from their storage; this can be a bit tricky to figure out. Next, unfold the load leg and lower it to the floor. The part of the base near the load leg should not be raised above the vehicle seat by the load leg. The sequence that worked best for me was: unfold the load leg, place the base on the vehicle seat, use the lever to extend the load leg to the floor, then use the recline foot to ensure the correct level as shown in the level indicator. Otherwise, it can get very tricky to extend the load leg but not affect the recline of the seat.
It gets easier from here! The next step is to open the belt tensioning plate, then connect the lower anchors, using the lower anchor guides if necessary. Tighten the lower anchor strap, but don't make it too tight or else the belt tensioning plate will not be able to close. You'll soon find that there is a "sweet spot" where the latch strap is just loose enough that the belt tensioning plate will still close. Be sure to pull all of the slack to the adjuster side before tightening; there is a tendency for some of the slack to get caught on the other side. Close the belt tensioning plate to complete the installation.
Cybex does allow latch borrowing with this seat, vehicle permitting, but only up to a distance of 20 inches between the latch anchors. This is a change for Cybex who in the past has allowed LATCH borrowing, vehicle permitting, for any distance.
Installing the base with the seatbelt proved to be much more difficult. The lap and shoulder belt together are routed through the blue belt guides, under the the belt tensioning plate. The belt guides have tabs under which the belt must be routed as well. My own car, a 2016 Kia Soul, has an extra loop of fabric on the vehicle belt that made this almost impossible. Further, it takes quite a bit of effort to remove slack evenly along the belt. The manual suggests holding the lap and shoulder belts together and threading them through that way, but I needed an extra hand to use that method as the belt would bunch up.
Cybex Cloud Q – route the belt under the blue tab.
After you remove the slack from the belt and tighten it, the next step is to close the belt tensioning plate and lock the seatbelt. I expected this to be like the latch strap (and the previous Aton bases) where the base would be tight enough if the belt tensioning plate were closed after most of the slack was removed. However, because of the positioning of the blue belt guides, it's necessary to tighten the belt virtually all the way and then close the belt tensioning plate. This is not an easy task! After this is done, the seatbelt should be locked.
The recline foot is easy to use, though it must be used together with the load leg to achieve the correct result. The level ball must be in the correct range for the baby's weight. The load leg must not change the angle of the seat, but the level ball is extremely sensitive and will move at the slightest pressure, including from that of the load leg.
The load leg may be used on a center floor hump as long as the load leg doesn't change the angle of the base. In my car, I could have used another "click" in between positions on the load leg, as I had trouble getting the load leg firmly on the floor while not changing the angle of the base. Lowering the load leg before adjusting the recline foot seemed to help.
The Cloud Q may touch the seat in front of it as long as the vehicle permits it. Because the Cloud Q is very short front to back, this may not be an issue in most vehicles. We found the that the Cloud Q is narrow enough to install 3 car seats across the backseat of a vehicle in some cases.
Installation without the base is done with the handle all the way towards the back of the vehicle. The vehicle belt is threaded through slots on the handle AND through slots in the carrier. If the belt is long enough, European belt routing is the preferred method. Route the belt through both sets of slots and then after buckling, wrap the belt around the back of the seat and through the black clip. Lock the vehicle belt, and ensure that the red level line on the side of the carrier is level to the ground. If the belt is not long enough to use the European method, or if there is no shoulder belt, the American method is allowed as well, with the shoulder belt laying against the vehicle seat back.
The manual states clearly that the car seat cannot be reclined while it is installed in the vehicle. This is not possible to do when the seat is in the base, but it is possible when the seat is installed without the base. Cybex has categorized this as misuse, which it certainly is, but we hope that the red tabs on the car seat will be enough of a deterrent. Additionally, we'd prefer if the red tabs lock into place, since it's possible to install Cloud Q without the base while the seat is reclined.
This is strictly prohibited by Cybex, and for good reason! Putting the car seat and the child in a position prohibited by the manufacturer could result in injury or death.
Like the other Cybex rear facing only seats, the Cloud Q features Linear Side Impact protection. It should be extended when the seat is installed in one of the outboard positions. The LSP that is towards the vehicle door should be extended. It should not be used in any other situation and should not be extended towards another car seat or person. It extends when pulled out and retracts easily with a button.
The Cloud Q base has different shaped blue belt guides and a slightly different design than the previous Cybex bases. As such, it is not compatible with other Cybex seats.
Cybex Aton Q base (top) and Cybex Cloud Q base (bottom). Note the different belt guides.
We encountered several challenges to using this seat correctly.
We have confirmed with Cybex that unfortunately, this is not the case. The infant insert should be placed lower, behind the flap and against the crotch buckle as shown. Cybex will be creating additional online resources this summer to help consumers with various aspects of using this seat, and the correct positioning of the infant insert will be included.
Second, upon recline, the crotch buckle and shoulder straps extend. The reason for this is clear; if this did not happen, the car seat would not be able to recline! However, this introduces a safety issue, in that a gap is created at the crotch. The baby may wiggle down and/or pull his or her legs through the gap. This would create a danger in that the child may be strangled by the chest clip. We discussed this with Cybex, who would like to remind everyone not to leave the child unattended in the seat. It says this in the manual and on the seat as well.
We are afraid parents may regard this seat as a type of bassinet while it is reclined. What parent doesn't try to accomplish something while their baby is napping?
Third, we found several issues with the straps. They tended to twist very easily, and on our seat and another we tested in a store, the straps got stuck and wouldn't adjust after the seat had been reclined and then put upright. Cybex has not heard this complaint from any other customers however.
Fourth, we experienced an issue where the tabs did not retract when the seat was put upright. Jostling the seat around a bit or taking out the child caused the tabs to retract. Cybex is working on a correction to this issue.
Last of all, at 13 lbs, this carrier is too heavy for many parents to carry around easily.
The seat has a small handle to use to engage the recline. It looks easy enough, but it can actually be very difficult to get the hang of doing this; if you hold the handle of the seat with the other hand, that helps provide the leverage you need.
The red tabs that should prevent a baseless installation while the seat is reclined come out in the belt guides, but they do not lock in place when the seat is reclined. This makes it possible to thread the seatbelt through the belt guides and install it baseless while it's reclined. Cybex is aware of this situation but feels the red tabs in the belt guide, and the language in the manual, are enough of a deterrent. We join them in urging parents against installing this way as it's not a safe installation.
Due to the 8″ lowest harness height, this seat did not have an acceptable fit on our Huggable Images Preemie Doll, even with the infant insert positioned correctly. The straps were above the shoulders, which is not permitted. Additionally, the flap in front of the infant insert doesn't have slits for the straps, with the result that, as shown in the picture, the straps didn't fit snugly around the preemie's legs.
This little one is 3 weeks old, weighs about 7 lbs, and is 19 inches long. He didn't seem to enjoy his first modeling assignment! When we reclined the seat, the infant insert rode up and did not fall back into position when the seat was put back upright.
Our model needed to take a break, so we continued with our Newborn Huggable Images doll. We reclined the seat a few times. After a few reclines, the infant insert had ridden up, and that created a crotch gap which meant that the baby could slip down so the straps were no longer below his shoulders.
This young lady 7 weeks old, weighs 11 lbs, and is 22 inches long. She fits in the seat without the insert, but there is still a gap created at the crotch when the seat is reclined. When the seat is upright, the crotch buckle is very low and may irritate her legs.
This young lady is 4.5 months old, weighs 13.5 lbs, and is 25 inches long. She fit without the infant insert. The crotch buckle may have been irritating her legs, but unfortunately she didn't relax when the seat was reclined!
This young man is rapidly approaching his first birthday! He still has a few inches of growth left in the seat.
This 30″ 16 month Huggable Images doll fit in the seat with room to spare. There are two clicks left to raise the headrest. It is a little snug around the shoulders though. Unfortunately, the seat is outgrown at 30″. That is a shame for a seat with such a high shell height.
We are almost never fortunate enough to be able to include an airline section in our reviews, but thanks to our friend, CPST Erin Brill, we have information on airline use! Erin's son experienced his maiden voyage in the Cloud Q. Erin shared with us that she loved using the seat on the plane, but she had a bit of trouble routing the airline belt through the small slit in the belt guides, because of the thick stitching on the belt. She had to tilt the seat to the side in order to thread the thinner part of the belt through. But once she did that, she could tighten the belt.
Again, we remind everyone that the Cloud Q should not be reclined while installed, and that includes on an airplane.
The FAA approval label is found in two places: on the label on the side of the carrier and on the label on the underside of the carrier. The red sentence is clear and easy to read.
The manual is stored on the underside of the carrier. This is convenient in that one would always have the manual even without the base, but it might be unwieldy to retrieve the manual if the child is in the seat.
This seat and base have a six year expiration. The expiration of the seat is clearly marked on the underside of the seat and within the manual itself, which is extremely helpful. The expiration of the base is clearly marked on the base.
We commend Cybex on offering a reclining seat. Too often, parents leave children in car seats for too long, creating a dangerous breathing situation. However, we feel that the Cloud Q has too many flaws for us to be able to recommend it. The dangerous crotch strap gap as well as the misleading instructions on the infant insert may lead to misuse, and the high carrier weight and twisty straps might make parents replace the seat early, a shame for a seat with such a high price tag.
Cybex generously provided the Cloud Q used in this review. As always, the opinions shared here are our own!

With Spring around the corner, this nest would make the perfect gift for a new arrival or mom to be !

Even though he will not be born for Easter, this will still make a great gift for the new mom to be since she is getting everything ready for the big day! The Baby Egg Nest would also make an adorable baby shower gift, especially one that is planned for the Spring !
Go green and let baby leave a tiny footprint with this fresh new organic baby gift. Each organic Baby Egg Nest is wrapped in cellophane, tied with a ribbon and bears a bird shaped gift tag. Perfect to bring when visiting the new arrival at home or in the hospital or to present at a baby shower.

We all know the songs and have heard them a thousand times. "Hopelessly Devoted", "Grease", "Hand Jive" the list goes on. The film that is also a musical and still getting toes tapping 20 years later. Ignatians Musical Society is presenting it at Schonell Theatre in a run of non-Gilbert and Sullivan productions. Die-hard G&S fans may be disappointed but a new audience fond of musicals from the last three or four decades are happy.
So how is Ignatians adapting to this new wave of productions? The sets are good, choreography and dance great and so are the group ensemble numbers. The main difficulty seems to be in finding singers to fill the young roles. Singers who are not only youthful but vocally strong enough to fill the cavernous Schonell Theatre at the University of Queensland. Some of the soloists struggle. However, others shine through.
Michelle Mathews (Sandy) and Belle Reid (Bety Rizzo) are among the strong group of female vocalists. Stephanie Biggs as Marty enraptures all with "Freddy My Love" and other numbers. And Richard Murphy (Teen Angel, aka Pandora S Bocks) becomes an honorary lady for a most creative drag version of "Beauty School Drop Out". Congratulations to director Lynne Wright for further blurring the blending the gender boundaries by casting Pip Loth as one of the Burger Palace Boys.
Marcus Costello stands out as Sonny and Chris Vernon as Eugene the nerd. Chris's characteristation is strong and never falters. He not only provides a laugh but stands out as one of few who present a strong acting presence.
The cast deliver convincing accents and create entertaining caricatures of teenage Americans in the 1950s. They are fun, amusing and enchanting.
As always with Ignatians the chorus numbers are tight and strong. Even tighter and stronger is Sue Foster-Crilly's choreography and the movement of the ensembled mass cast. The milk bar created by set designer Scott Bagnell is nothing short of stunning. Unfortunately some parts of the production are flawed, including poorly lit sections of stage and blocking that is either busy or masked.
But despite a few blights the fun, enthusiasm and aesthetics of Ignatians' Grease will carry you away. Enjoy it. Tap you feet and have a few laughs because they're there for the taking. And if you feel brave even sing along with the encore.

Novice sledder Levi Bethune, 3, antipates a great run down Alexander-Carr sledding hill.
three-person tubing technique at Alexander-Carr Park.
DERRY -- Everyone knows about the calm before the storm.
Less discussed is the fun after the storm, which normally involves launching one's self down a steep mountain of snow, often in tandem with friends or relatives, fully expecting not to make it to the bottom without tumbling into the white stuff.
And then getting up and doing it all over again.
Such was the case yesterday at Alexander-Carr Park, the town's sledding mecca, where yesterday several diehard snow enthusiasts lingered until dusk. Among them were BFFs Leah Tarleton, Staci Van Curen and Rosemarie Lebret, Pinkerton Academy seniors, who were determined to get the right gyration on their snow tube in order to maximize their trajectory down the slope.
"That was great," said one of them.
"Let's do it again," said another.
Lebret, a foreign exchange student visiting from France, seemed to be enjoying the snowy afternoon, sledding American style.
Not far from their launching point stood Amanda Weishaar, 18, and Jordan Doherty, 18, both of Chester, who were snapping "before" photos of each other as they prepared to step back in time, to when sledding was a little less intimidating.
"We used to come here as kids," said Weishaar, a student at Southern New Hampshire University, squeezing the last few drops of winter vacation from her college break.
The two climbed the icy footpath leading to the top of the hill and tried to position themselves strategically in their two-man, open-concept, fluorescent-green toboggan.
But they quickly learned you can never go back to being 12 as they spilled out of their sled and into the snow, laughing all the way.
Justin Bethune of Derry was cheering on his son, 3-yearold Levi, who is still getting his sledding legs under him — which mostly means he stays tucked inside his sled, wrapped in his blue snowsuit, while dad pulls him around.
What he didn't anticipate was the spray of snow that backwashed onto his face, which left him momentarily in tears. A few reassuring words from his dad, and he was back in the saddle and ready for another slide around in the snow.
Father and son team Riley and Scott Dempsey of Peabody, Mass., were going for the thrill ride, ascending to the pinnacle of Alexander- Carr hill before launching, which meant gathering some impressive speed on the way down. After several rides together, Riley, 8, went it alone.
By the crest of the second hill, he was losing his grip on his green-and-black snow tube, which flew out from under him as he did a flip in the snow.
The two had found their way to the sledding hill while waiting for Riley's older sister, who takes riding lessons at Oakledge Farm on Gulf Road.
"This is fantastic. What a find," said Scott Dempsey, collecting his son and preparing to head back up to the top of the hill.
"It's our first time, and we're having a blast," he said.

This centres on the matter of Iran's relationship with the international during the Qajar, Pahlavi and Islamic Republic periods. To this end, the project has two objectives. The first is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for scholars interested in Iran's relationships with the international. The 'international' here is understood as the world beyond Iran's territorial borders. The second objective is to highlight how Iran and Iranians at both the state and non-state levels have engaged with the international. The state level can be understood in terms of the ruling classes and individuals or groups associated with them. The non-state level can be understood in terms of communities, groups and individuals who are not associated with the ruling classes. Importantly, this programme would encourage and include research from a number of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, such as Anthropology, Archaeology, Art History, Cultural Studies, History and Global History, Political Theory, Politics, International Relations, Islamic Studies, Sociology, and Theology. Crucially, it stresses the need for interdisciplinary engagement.
The programme seeks to contextualise Iran's engagement with the international historically, intellectually, and in terms of geography. This is in response to some contemporary discourses that tend to present the world in terms of the 'West' on the one hand, and the 'Global South', 'Third World', or the 'non-West' on the other hand.
There will be two workshops.
The first workshop will focus on international relations at state and non-state levels across the three periods. It seeks to explore the nature of Iran's ruling classes' engagement at the state level alongside research on other areas of society, such as religious communities, minority communities, intellectual and art circles, merchants, political and/or social movements, and civil society organisations and their engagement with the international.
How is engagement evidenced? For instance, in terms of government or court policy that may be in the form of official documentation.
How do international relations at the state level relate to those at the non-state level?
How do the communities/individuals/the state see themselves in relation to that which is not 'Iran'?
What is the 'international' for Iran at different points in its history?
To what extent is Iran part of more global dynamics during these periods?
To what extent do the causes of continuity and change within Iran lie in the international?
The second workshop will focus on intellectual engagement with the international. The aim is to explore how ideas are developed across state boundaries during the modern period and the extent to which bodies of knowledge adhered to territorial borders. Considering this, this project would encourage research on how intellectuals, lay intellectuals, clerics, political thinkers, artists, and others engage with bodies of knowledge and how bodies of knowledge are geographically located, if at all. Furthermore, the project would encourage research on how the 'international' and relations between states and between societies have been theorised.
Is there evidence of intellectual engagement with bodies of knowledge outside 'Iran', such as in the form of the co-optation of ideas?
What is the rationale for engagement?
How is the 'West' defined, if at all?; how are the borders defined if at all?
How does Iran define itself geographically if at all?

Disclaimer: This post is a bit off-topic. However, if you would like to know more about what it is like to be an EngD student, continue reading! Next week I start my research project at Designability, so I will be more on-topic very soon.
This week, the Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE) welcomed its 2018/19 cohort of students. It was a pleasure to meet the new group of research engineers and to welcome them into the department. Current CDE students were asked to put together presentations for the new students about the different stages of the EngD. I gave two presentations, one describing what to expect from the first year of the EngD, and another about both my MSc and EngD research projects. Scroll down to take a look at these, and get in touch if you have any questions.
Click on the links below if you cannot see a presentation.
This presentation shows what the first year of the EngD programme may look like, and is a representation of what I experienced in my first year. There are other conferences and events that you can attend as an EngD student, but the CVMP conference and CDE Summer School are events EngD students are expected to attend. These are a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about their work.
An overview of my summer master's project and my upcoming EngD research project. The second half of this presentation (about the EngD project) has been taken from a presentation I gave last week.
