A little dive into Melania's sister's Twitter feed
www.trashberg.com
What is she thinking, indeed.
Ashley Feinberg
What is she thinking?
MELANIA TRUMP @MELANIATRUMP
7:07 PM ∙ Aug 10, 2012
It's a question that's haunted the nation for almost a decade now. A beluga whale with, frankly, inadequate oral hygiene bobs in the water, her mouth opened in apparent mid-shriek. While the bloodlust in her eyes is clear, we can do little more than guess at the particular machinations within. Melania Trump understood the power of this whale, and spent her four years as first lady in a similar state of unreadability. Her appearances in public were rare, and her statements were all either typical First Lady pablum or vicious swipes at perceived enemies with absolutely nothing in between. Americans everywhere were again left to wonder, "What is she thinking?"
Of course, we'll likely never know for sure what motivated Melania's various choices or how she truly feels about her husband's presidency, but we can get a little closer to some answers thanks to a Twitter account belonging to none other than her sister, Ines Knauss. Ines's account is locked, and as far as I can tell, she's somewhat discerning about who she lets in (only 13 followers have been added since 2018). Fortunately, I was able to get a look at her feed through a third party.
While not much is actually known about Ines, there are about five facts that get repeated in virtually every article ever written about her. 1) She's Melania's older sister by just a few years. 2) They both attempted to pursue careers in fashion, with Ines focusing on design while Melania modeled. 3) She lived in a $2 million apartment in a Trump Organization–owned building just a few blocks from Trump Tower as recently as 2017. 4) At some point during Trump's presidency, she quietly became a U.S. citizen along with her parents. And 5) more than anything, the two sisters are very, very close.
When Melania was in high school, she even shared an apartment with Ines in Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital. And when Melania went on to marry the single dampest man she could find, Ines was right there by her side as her maid of honor, one of only three Slovenians in attendance at the 350-guest affair (the other two being their parents). Ines was even cited as one of the reasons Melania put off moving to D.C. in the early days of Trump's presidency.
We also know that this is indeed Ines Knauss's account and not just a part of some fringe Melania-themed cosplay group (although if that does exist and you're part of it please get in touch immediately). Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan confirmed that the private account was hers in her recent book on the former first lady.
We can also be relatively sure that that Melania and her sister have stayed in touch during Melania's time as First Lady. The texts below were sent to someone listed simply as "M," which is also how she's referred to Melania in previous public posts on Facebook.
Melania isn't the only family member whose texts she's posted, though. Curiously, Melania's father, Viktor Knavs (Melania and Ines both changed their last names from Knavs to Knauss), doesn't seem to be a huge fan of his son-in-law. Or at the very least, he isn't particularly effusive about it. From Mary Jordan's book, in which she recounts a conversation with a few of Viktor's friends:
The men said that Viktor loves to talk about Barron but mostly avoids talk of his son-in-law. Viktor does not agree with Trump's "anti-immigration talk," his friends said.
All of which makes this exchange between Ines and her father during the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol particularly curious.
A rough translation, according to a kind Slovenian on Twitter:
Ines: Are you watching CNN?
Dad: Of course I'm watching. ❤
Dad: And Fox and OAN.
And at least based on some of her faved tweets, her own opinion of her brother-in-law is less than stellar. Here, for instance, is just a sample of tweets faved during Trump's February 9 impeachment trial. Nearly all were similarly derisive.
And perhaps even more notably, there's this:
The vast majority of her actual tweets, though, consist of her reposting old photos of Barron, Melania, or herself—in addition to fun facts, like this tweet from last April consisting of nothing but Barron and Melania's ages.
Another fun fact? Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr.'s girlfriend, is in fact an entire year older than Melania, her boyfriend's stepmother—just a bit of trivia for you.
A good portion of Ines's feed consists of her waxing nostalgic about her childhood in Slovenia, while also pushing back on virtually anything ever written about Melania or their family.
This is, of course, regardless of whether there actually seems to be anything egregious in the first place.
According to that same kind Slovenian on Twitter, the below translates roughly to: "When they were together, Melania lived with her sister Ines in a small one-bedroom apartment."
Ines went on to helpfully clarify just what it was she took issue with.
It's the sort of nitpicking over harmless inaccuracies we've seen from Melania before, making it seem not at all unlikely that the two sisters spoke frequently despite Melania's White House duties.
While Ines's favs tell one story of how she might view her brother-in-law, any Trump-related tweet she herself sends tends to be much more benign. For instance, these simple well-wishes after Trump and Melania both were diagnosed with covid:
She's also shared some contextless yet kind, heartfelt words from her brother-in-law.
Ines did speak a little more freely about other members of the family. Here she is happily partaking in some Jared-bashing (remember those rumors of Melania's occasional power struggles with the Ivanka/Jared wing of things?):
The video in question:
Aaron Rupar @atrupar
Here's Jared Kushner going for the world record of most meaningless corporate buzzwords used in a single one-minute video clip
10:09 PM ∙ Apr 2, 2020
And very, very rarely, there will be a criticism of Melania herself. If you'll recall, early in October of last year, Stephanie Wolkoff, a former friend and former senior adviser to Melania, released a recording of a 2018 phone call between her and the then-First Lady. In it, Melania defiantly declared, "Who gives a fuck about Christmas?" Now, we finally have an answer. For it is apparently Ines herself who gives a fuck about Christmas.
She also seemed to be less than thrilled with Melania's now infamous, headline-grabbing jacket.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Ines's feed, though, are favs like the one you see below, which occurred on May 29 of last year.
This wasn't a one-off either. Ines seems to enjoy similar tweets on a fairly regular basis.
The Pleiadians, as far as I can tell, are Nordic-appearing aliens who want to help us find peace by (maybe?) taking us to another star system, but also—time is infinite so don't worry about when, exactly. This all seems to have merged a bit with QAnon, in that there's also a theory that Trump is receiving extrasolar protection or has possibly already been taken from this Earth, and we all just have to let the aliens' plan play out. Based on everything else Ines has tweeted over the years, this part of her internet consumption does seem a little unexpected. But then again, maybe it's simply the truth.
Still, Ines's best tweets have nothing to do with family at all.
And instead, simply speak to eternal truths.
Thank you to Ines, the bloodthirsty beluga whale, and Counts everywhere. Your collective insight has been invaluable.

Q: Performance: Java's String.format
Possible Duplicate:
Should I use Java's String.format() if performance is important?

I was wondering if is good to use String.format in Java apps instead of StringBuilder... so, I just write a simple test, like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        int i = 0;
        Long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        while (i < 10000) {
            String s = String.format("test %d", i);
            i++;
        }
        System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - start);
        i = 0;
        start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        while (i < 10000) {
            String s = new StringBuilder().append("test ").append(i).toString();
            i++;
        }
        System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - start);
    }

And the results where:
238
15

So, if my test is valid, StringBuilder is faster than String.format. OK.
Now, I start thinking how String.format works. Is it a simple String concatenation, like "test " + i?
What the differences between StringBuilder concatenation and String.format? Is there a way simple as String.format and fast like StringBuilder?

A: I wrote a quick caliper benchmark to compare String.format() vs. StringBuilder, StringBuffer, normal String + operator, String.replace() and String.concat() methods:
public class StringFormatBenchmark extends SimpleBenchmark {

    public void timeStringFormat(int reps) {
        while (--reps >= 0) {
            String s = String.format("test %d", reps);
        }
    }

    public void timeStringBuilder(int reps) {
        while (--reps >= 0) {
            String s = new StringBuilder("test ").append(reps).toString();
        }
    }

    public void timeStringBuffer(int reps) {
        while (--reps >= 0) {
            String s = new StringBuffer("test ").append(reps).toString();
        }
    }

    public void timeStringPlusOperator(int reps) {
        while (--reps >= 0) {
            String s = "test " + reps;
        }
    }

    public void timeReplace(int reps) {
        while (--reps >= 0) {
            String s = "test {}".replace("{}", String.valueOf(reps));
        }
    }

    public void timeStringConcat(int reps) {
        while (--reps >= 0) {
            String s = "test ".concat(String.valueOf(reps));
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Runner().run(StringFormatBenchmark.class.getName());
    }

}

The results follow (Java 1.6.0_26-b03, Ubuntu, 32 bits):

Clearly String.format() is much slower (by an order of magnitude). Also StringBuffer is considerably slower than StringBuilder (as we were taught). Finally StringBuilder and String + operator are almost identical since they compile to very similar bytecode. String.concat() is a bit slower.
Also don't use String.replace() if simple concatenation is sufficient.

A: String.format is relatively slower but usually more than fast enough.
I would use format if that is simpler, unless you can see a performance issue when you profile your application.
Note: The String.format in your example is taking ~24 micro-seconds and won't be fully warmed up yet.  I would ignore the first 10K iterations.
IMHO "test " + i is the simplest in this case.

A: I have run a test post-JVM warmup (once the methods are compiled) and get similar results, with StringBuilder more than 30x quicker.

public class TestPerf {

    private static int NUM_RUN;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        NUM_RUN = 100_000;
        //warm up
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            method1();
            method2();
        }

        System.gc();
        System.out.println("Starting");

        long sum = 0;
        long start = System.nanoTime();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

Top 6 Best MLB Catchers of All Time
Catchers are one of the most important defensive positions in baseball. So much so that, throughout the history of the MLB, teams have often sacrificed offensive production at the position in favor of defensive prowess. However, some catchers have excelled at both fielding and batting, solidifying themselves as legends of the game. Read on to learn about the six greatest catchers in Major League Baseball history.
Who are the best MLB catchers of all time?
1. Johnny Bench
2. Yogi Berra
3. Carlton Fisk
4. Mike Piazza
5. Iván Rodríguez
6. Josh Gibson
Carlton Fisk
Mike Piazza
Ivan Rodriguez
Josh Gibson
389 home runs, 1,376 RBIs, 1,091 runs scored
Fourteen-time All-Star selection (1968-1980, 1983)
Ten-time Gold Glove winner (1968-1977)
Two-time NL MVP winner (1970, 1972)
National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee (1989)
Johnny Bench made his MLB debut in 1967 with the Cincinnati Reds. It didn't take long for Bench to break out, as he won the National League's Rookie of the Year award in 1968, along with his first Gold Glove. He went on to play his entire 17-season career with the Reds, where he would change how the catcher position was perceived forever. His defensive skills were unparalleled, and the strength of his arm would have baserunners think twice about attempting a steal. He can back this sentiment up with the ten Gold Gloves he won throughout his career. Bench paired his extraordinary defense with elite offensive production as a batter. He set the Reds' franchise records for home runs (389) and RBIs (1,376), which still stand today.
Eighteen-time All-Star selection (1948-1962)
Ten-time World Series champion (1947,1949-1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962)
Three-time AL MVP winner (1951, 1954, 1955)
Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra made his MLB debut in 1946 with the New York Yankees. During his 18-season tenure with the Yankees, Berra helped the club win an astounding ten World Series championships. This set an MLB record for most World Series won by an individual player. This record still stands today and is unlikely to ever be broken. Berra's contributions to the team's success were reflected through his 11 All-Star Game selections and three MVP awards won. Berra was known as a defensive workhorse at the position, leading the American League in games caught eight seasons in a row (1950-1957). In 1965, he ended his career on a four-game stint with the crosstown New York Mets.
376 home runs, 2,356 hits, 1,330 RBIs, 1,276 runs scored
Eleven-time All-Star selection (1972-1974, 1976-1978, 1980-1982, 1985, 1991)
Three-time Silver Slugger winner (1981, 1985, 1988)
1972 AL Rookie of the Year winner
Carlton Fisk made his MLB debut in 1969 with the Boston Red Sox. He is considered one of the most consistent and durable catchers ever to play the position and wasted no time letting his presence be known. In 1972, in his first full season, he became the first player from the American League to win the Rookie of the Year award unanimously. He went on to have a twenty-four-season career playing for both the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. Fisk's durability was proven when he set an MLB career record of playing 2,226 games at catcher. Even with all of his career accolades, Fisk is best remembered for hitting one of the most iconic home runs of all time. In Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, the Red Sox were down 3-2 in the series versus the Reds. The game was tied at 6-6 in the bottom of the 12th inning when Fisk came up to bat. He launched a dramatic walk-off home run into left field to win the game for the Red Sox and force the World Series to a winner-take-all Game 7.
427 home runs, 1,335 RBIs, 1,048 runs scored, .308 batting average
Twelve-time All-Star selection (1993-1998, 1999-2002, 2004-2005)
Ten-time Silver Slugger winner (1993-1998, 1999-2002)
1993 NL Rookie of the Year winner
Mike Piazza made his MLB debut in 1992 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Over the course of his 16-season career, Piazza also played for the Florida Marlins, New York Mets, San Diego Padres, and Oakland Athletics. His best seasons came in Los Angeles and New York. Piazza is often considered one of the best offensive catchers in MLB history and excelled in hitting for both power and average. He hit 30 home runs in nine different seasons and finished his career with 427 (399 while playing catcher), a record amongst all catchers. Piazza coupled his power with a career .308 batting average. He is one of just nine catchers in MLB history to have a career batting average of .300 or higher. Piazza will go down as one of the ultimate underdog stories in MLB history, having gone from being a 62nd round draft pick selected 1,390 overall to being immortalized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
.296 batting average, 2,844 hits, 1,332 RBIs, 311 home runs, 1,354 runs scored
Fourteen-time All-Star selection (1992-2001, 2004-2007)
2003 World Series champion
1999 AL MVP winner
Iván "Pudge" Rodríguez made his MLB debut in 1991 with the Texas Rangers. The long-time Ranger also spent time playing for the Florida Marlins, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, and Washington Nationals. Throughout his twenty-one-season career, Rodríguez built a nearly immaculate resume. His offensive abilities were backed by winning seven Silver Slugger awards and the 1999 American League MVP. In his 1999 MVP season, Rodríguez batted .332 while hitting 35 home runs and racking up 113 RBIs. Rodríguez was also one of the best defensive catchers ever and famous for his elite arm strength. Rodríguez led all catchers in caught-stealing percentage nine times, and in eight seasons, he caught more than half of the baserunners who tried to steal against him. This helped him to collect an astounding thirteen Gold Glove awards, which is the most ever won at the catcher position. Rodríguez was also the most reliable catcher to ever play in the MLB. He surpassed Carlton Fisk's record of career games played at catcher, with a total of 2,543 behind home plate. Rodríguez's ability to dominate as both a batter and fielder over a long career makes him one of the most well-balanced catchers in MLB history.
.374 batting average, 165 home runs, 725 RBIs, 611 runs scored
Twelve-time All-Star selection (1933-1936, 1939, 1942-1944, 1946)
Two-time World Series champion (1943, 1944)
Two-time Triple Crown winner (1936, 1937)
Josh Gibson made his professional baseball debut in 1930, playing in one game for the Memphis Red Sox of the Negro National League. Gibson resumed his professional career in 1933 with the Pittsburgh Crawfords of the Negro National League. Gibson is regarded as one of the best offensive catchers to ever play baseball. He led the Negro National League in home runs eleven times and RBIs seven times. Gibson paired his legendary power with an astounding .374 career batting average. His dominance across all hitting categories helped him to win the Triple Crown twice. Gibson was also credited with being a solid defensive catcher. He had natural skills such as a powerful arm and quick release, which made him highly effective at throwing out baserunners. Gibson was acknowledged for his impressive career statistics and achievements in 1972 when he became the second player from the Negro leagues to ever be voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Who is the greatest MLB catcher of all time?
Johnny Bench is widely considered the greatest MLB catcher of all time. His ability to excel at both hitting and fielding completely changed how the position was perceived. As a batter, Bench was a pure power hitter. He set the record for most career home runs by a catcher, hitting 327. Bench also led the MLB in RBIs three times, further proving his offensive talent. He was also known for his incredible arm strength behind home plate. He set the National League record for career putouts and won ten Gold Gloves in ten consecutive seasons. Bench's well-balanced talent helped the Cincinnati Reds win two World Series championships and earned him two NL MVP awards. His legacy will live on forever in Cooperstown, NY, after being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989.
What MLB catcher has won the most MVP awards in baseball history?
The most MVP awards won by a catcher is a tie between Yogi Berra and Roy Campanella. Each player won the award three times throughout their respective careers. Berra and Campanella's combined six make up a third of all 18 times a player from the catcher position has won the MVP. Historically, it is less likely for a catcher to win the award. This is due to many teams trading-off offensive production in exchange for defensive talent at the catcher position. MVP voters do take defensive performance into account but are much more likely to vote for players with outstanding offensive statistics.
What MLB catcher has won the most gold glove awards in baseball history?
Iván Rodríguez has won the most Gold Glove awards at the catcher position, with a total of 13 throughout his MLB career. This is an incredible career achievement due to the catcher position being historically known for strong defense. In order to win a Gold Glove at catcher you must have strong arm strength, fast reactions to block wild pitches, and be skilled at framing pitches. Rodríguez's landmark will be extremely difficult for another catcher to surpass. Yadier Molina currently has the most active Gold Gloves won by a catcher with nine. However, he has announced that he plans to retire after the 2022 season.

UPS cuts insurance to 15,000 spouses, blames Obamacare
by Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery August 22, 2013: 7:13 AM ET
United Parcel Service is planning to drop 15,000 workers' spouses from its health insurance plan, citing higher costs due to Obamacare.
In an undated memo to employees, UPS (UPS) said it will discontinue coverage for all working spouses who are eligible for insurance with their own employer. That applies to about 15,000 spouses covered by UPS today.
The internal document was obtained by Kaiser Health News. UPS told the nonprofit news agency that the policy applies only to non-union U.S. workers. It hasn't responded to questions from CNNMoney.
In the memo, UPS said it's willing to take care of its own, but it won't bear a burden that other companies can take on.
Related: What you'll actually pay for Obamacare
"We believe your spouse should be covered by their own employer -- just as UPS has a responsibility to offer coverage to you, our employee," the memo states.
Spouses of UPS employees who don't work -- or who are not offered coverage by their own employer -- will get to stay on the UPS plan.
Most of the company's workers, such as delivery workers and truck drivers, are unionized through the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and receive insurance under a different plan.
UPS blamed the move on several aspects of Obamacare, including mandatory coverage for dependent children up to age 26 and new government fees.
"We are making these changes to offset cost increases due to the [Affordable Care Act]," the memo states.
In the memo, UPS said its health care costs usually increase about 7% a year, but that it expects those costs to climb by 11.25% in 2014 due to Obamacare.
The company also said that 35% of companies intend to make the same changes to their plans, but didn't cite specific market data.
A recent survey by consulting firm Towers Watson found that next year, 18% of employers will require that workers' spouses buy insurance from their own employer before turning to the surveyed company for insurance.
Related: The overblown Obamacare myth about small business
UPS's move is the latest example of the corporate response to Obamacare, although the law won't begin to kick in until Jan. 1.
Employers are worried that premiums will rise. And they'll also be required to pay a fee for every person on their plans, starting at $63 a head next year.
The federal Department of Health and Human Services has said the fee would help with the transition as the American health care system accepts many new sick, previously uninsured people.

When i change my windowstate from minimized to maximized the setter get called twice,for the first time it have correct actual value,and in second call it has value 38,is there any explanation for this behavior ? and also why it is getting called twice?
Thanks,
Kumar

A: If you look at the call stack for the two times the property is accessed you will see the second one goes through a function called UpdateDimensionsToRestoreBounds. Doing a web search on this led me here
http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#PresentationFramework/src/Framework/System/Windows/Window.cs#c8ff58cc4568752a
The comment on this function says that when the window is maximised or minimised the intent is to have the property hold the value when not maximised or minimised. It looks like this is the reason for the two calls, the second is to set the values they will be when not maximised or minimised.
If you want to know the height of the window you can use
double renderedHeight = Application.Current.MainWindow.ActualHeight;

Hope this helps

Q: JavaScript: Restricting fields - cannot remove special symbols I am trying to restrict an input text to numbers only by checking it in a setInterval and removing the chars that are not numbers. Now so far this works relatively alright, however I am not able to remove "special symbols". For example if I input the Spanish accent symbol ' or symbols like ˇ that should be over a char, it resets the field and the value is not assigned again despite the fact that the symbol gets removed from the string (if I log the string, I can see it is).
Example:

*

*Typing 123a => 'a' removed, input contains 123

*Typing 123ˇ => input contains an empty string, despite the fact that the 'text' string
contains 123 and has a length of 3.

*Typing 123 and pasting ˇ after it => ˇ removed, input contains 123

This seems like it has something to do with the fact that the special symbols are not ...self-standing (?) and need to be over a char that should be inputted next. Some ideas how to solve it?
Thank you.
I have the following HTML:
<body>
    <input type="text" id="input_field">
</body>

And the JS:
$("#input_field").focus(function(e) {
            console.log("got focus"+$(this).val());
            var obj = this;
            intID = setInterval(function() {restrictNumbers(obj)}, 10);
        });

        $("#input_field").blur(function(e) {
            console.log("got blur")
            clearInterval(intID);
        });

        function restrictNumbers(field) {
            var text = $(field).val();
            var caretPos;
            var modified = false;
            if(text.length > 0) {
                for(var i=0; i<text.length; i++) {
                    if(isNaN(text.charAt(i))) {
                        modified = true;
                        caretPos = field.selectionStart - 1;
                        text = text.replace(text.charAt(i), "");
                        i--;
                    }
                }
                $(field).val(text);
                if(modified) {
                    modified = false;
                    field.setSelectionRange(caretPos, caretPos);
                }
            }
        }

JSfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/AvMZ5/

A: You can use this:-
jQuery.fn.ForceNumericOnly =
function()
{
    return this.each(function()
    {
        $(this).keydown(function(e)
        {
            var key = e.charCode || e.keyCode || 0;
            // allow backspace, tab, delete, arrows, numbers and keypad numbers ONLY
            // home, end, period, and numpad decimal
            return (
                key == 8 ||
                key == 9 ||
                key == 46 ||
                key == 110 ||
                key == 190 ||
                (key >= 35 && key <= 40) ||
                (key >= 48 && key <= 57) ||
                (key >= 96 && key <= 105));
        });
    });
};

You can then attach it to your control by doing:
$("#yourTextBoxName").ForceNumericOnly();

Equity and inclusivity in research funding
Findings, recommendations, and actions from the equity and inclusivity in research funding project
The Equity and inclusivity in research funding project was initiated by Research Services to identify the barriers to securing research funding experienced by researchers in marginalised groups and to propose solutions. The findings and recommendations described in the report are based on examining external funding as well as internal funding and institutional practices, and are therefore intended to be relevant to funders, universities, and other organisations involved in the research ecosystem.
The project was funded by the University of Oxford Diversity Fund and the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund (ISSF) 204826/Z/16/Z.
PROJECT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ACTIONS
Four documents are available for download:
the full report, setting out the project findings, recommendations, and methodology, with a vignette of how the research funding system could work equitably;
the executive summary of the findings and recommendations;
an infographic, setting the recommendations within the context of the funding process; and
accessible text for the infographic.

Note on language
When discussing diversity, choice of language is particularly important to avoid creating or contributing to negative perceptions and othering (ie treating a person as though they are different from, and do not belong to, a group). The terminology used in this report has emerged from consultation within the University of Oxford (including with the Race Equality Task Force) and with external expert reviewers. The following language is therefore used throughout this report:
Women researchers
Disabled researchers
Racially minoritised researchers
LGBTQIA+ researchers
Conflicting views were expressed around language used to describe racially minoritised researchers, including some expressing preference for "global majority", or "researchers of colour, racialised as BME ", as more affirming and less othering, while others preferred "racially minoritised" to acknowledge that minoritisation occurs through social processes of power and oppression. The phrase "racially minoritised" is used throughout this report in order to (a) include all researchers who are racially minoritised, including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and (b) ensure clarity to those in positions of influence over change.
Many of the barriers observed throughout this study apply to several or all the groups above. Where this is the case, the term 'marginalised researcher' is used to include people with any, some or all of the above characteristics. This terminology is often used in EDI literature to reflect intersectionality and to acknowledge the processes that actively lead to exclusion and marginalisation.
The authors appreciate that this language remains imperfect as it groups a diverse range of people and risks obscuring differences in experience between individuals with different identities. The approach taken in this report aims to identify where external factors operate in similar ways to exclude individuals with different characteristics, even though the ways in which an individual experiences those factors may be different. Where evidence arose in the analysis of clear differences in the nature of the barriers or experiences these are set out by characteristic.
The words and phrases 'equality', 'equity', 'equality of opportunity', and 'equality of treatment' are used throughout this report. 'Equality' is often used broadly in EDI literature to refer to all people having equal access to opportunities to fulfil their potential. However, it is sometimes interpreted as meaning to treat everybody in the same way. This interpretation does not take into account differing access needs or the differential impact of systemic and personal biases, inequalities arising from systemic and societal structures, and imbalances of power. The authors therefore use the term 'equity' to refer to an environment in which all people are treated fairly, accounting for their needs and positionality, to enable them to reach equal outcomes. This environment is considered to offer 'equality of opportunity'.
Response from the Pro-Vice-Chancellors for Research, and People & Digital
Response from Professor Patrick Grant, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research, and Professor Anne Trefethen, Pro-Vice Chancellor for People & Digital
At the University of Oxford we recognise that a diverse research community is needed to deliver innovative and rigorous research, and therefore it is vital that we create environments that enable all researchers to achieve their potential.
Equity and Inclusivity in Research Funding synthesises a detailed review of work across the research higher education sector with local experience and data to understand better the experiences of researchers, and the steps being taken by universities and research funders to improve equitable access to funding opportunities. It concludes that substantial work and change is required to address the exclusion and marginalisation of researchers in certain groups. These improvements are vital as access to research funding opportunities is important in securing research independence and facilitating career progression.
The report sets out recommendations for change at multiple levels within universities and at funders. We will lead on applying the findings and recommendations of the report here in Oxford to redouble our efforts and focus our resources on actions that are tailored to the specific improvements needed in our systems and practices. We hope that the insights of the report might also provide inspiration and ideas for others in the sector and where possible we will participate in co-ordinated action with research funders, universities, and other organisations to find ways to reform practices that may perpetuate inequity.
Improving equity and inclusivity for researchers applying for external funding through the University
The Equity and Inclusivity in Research Funding report exposes the scale and impact of the barriers faced by researchers in marginalised groups when seeking research funding, and how they arise within universities. There is much work to do to break the cycle that perpetuates the inequities described in the report, and progress will require coordinated action from individuals, universities, and funders, including at Oxford. The following approach has been endorsed by both the University's Research and Innovation Committee and Personnel Committee, and will be led by Research Services in consultation with other units.
Identify existing projects and areas of good practice that are addressing project recommendations;
Identify goals based on the project recommendations and relevant University strategy, and gather associated baseline data to identify where inequities are most palpable;
Identify and take central enabling actions, such as developing guidance and template tools for tailoring and use within Divisions, Departments, and Faculties (eg around running internal selection rounds); and
Develop and implement an action and resourcing plan for collective and collaborative actions, in consultation with Divisions, Departments, Faculties, and other units as appropriate.
Please check back to this page to learn more about our progress.
We are also committed to using the University's voice and our convening power to broker conversations between research funders, universities, and other organisations to progress actions together wherever possible.

Improving equity and inclusivity of internal University funding schemes
The University operates a number of internal funding schemes, with a diverse range of funding sources, management groups, and approaches to governance. These include centrally operated schemes such as the John Fell Fund and Strategic Research Fund, schemes managed by Divisions such as Impact Acceleration Accounts, and flexible funds within large, externally funded projects.
Research Services is currently developing proposals for implementing the recommendations within the John Fell Fund and the Strategic Research Fund, which will be assessed by the respective Boards (in consultation with Divisions where appropriate).
In Hilary Term 2023, Research Services will hold consultation briefings with Divisions, departments, and faculties that operate internal funding schemes. These sessions will present how barriers arise within the context of internal funding, discuss how the recommendations might be best implemented, and identify tools required to support this.

Prince Harry accuses royal family of 'planting stories' in docuseries trailer
A brand new trailer was released Monday for the forthcoming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Netflix docuseries and it strongly hints that there is animosity between Harry and Meghan and The UK Monarchy.
"There's a hierarchy of the family," Prince Harry says in the "Harry & Meghan" trailer. "You know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories."
"There was a war against Meghan to suit other people's agendas," a journalist says in the trailer, as reported by the New York Post. Another person adds: "It's about hatred, it's about race."
Back in 2020, Harry and Meghan made the decision to leave their roles British royal family and announced they would be "stepping back as 'senior' members."
"The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy," Harry says in the trailer, adding: "I was terrified. I didn't want history to repeat itself."
According to Netflix's description of the series, "Harry & Meghan" focuses primarily on how the couple "fell in love, got married, had children, and built a life based on shared values and mutual support of each other's work and ambitions."
The description continued, "Harry & Meghan is an unprecedented six-part documentary series that explores the span of their relationship, from the early days of the couple's courtship to the challenges and controversies that prompted them to step back from the royal family."
"The series includes interviews with family and friends who've never spoken publicly about the couple's relationship before, as well as historians and journalists who dissect how media influenced Harry and Meghan's relationship with the royal family and the Commonwealth at large."
The first three episodes will debut on Dec. 8 and episodes 4-6 will be released on Dec. 15.

Colourful contemporary abstract paintings, atmospheric land and seascapes and even the odd rabbit!
My art has science at its core but my inspiration is the natural world. I'm fascinated with the microcosm of the body's cells to the macro view of land and seascapes even to the heavens. Rarely using a paintbrush, I play with materials and use scientific techniques allowing chaos to take over occasionally.
Background: At sixteen years old when choosing my A-Levels, the Head of Art at my school told me that on no account was I to consider doing art. If I did, she would refer me to an educational psychologist and retire! With such encouragement I chose science. It's led me to fascinating places with a degree in Zoology (three years drawing!) and further study in Immunology-the body's defences. For most of my life, art was always unfinished business restricted to a few sketches on holiday.
Thanks to a wise friend, a career break ended up being a joyous education in art through A-level, followed by Foundation at Cambridge Regional College specialising in sculpture. In 2011 I graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin University.
Today, I work as a scientist and paint. Choose between Art or Science? Do both!


Watch enthusiasts may recall that Ulysse Nardin launched the Innovision II in 2017. As its name suggests, that watch was a high-concept release for the brand — evoking a Jetsons-esque vision of a streamlined pneumatic future. Appropriately, it also harnessed together 10 different technological innovations: including an anchor escapement and a movement which essentially doubled as an entire tourbillon. Although the Innovision II was never developed to be commercial viable, Ulysse Nardin are offering concept watch lovers the next best thing with their SIHH 2018 flagship — the (memorably) named Freak Vision. Widely available, the Freak Vision takes much of the Innovision II's technology and packages it for a general audience. So, what does that entail exactly?
The new Freak Vision features an innovative "Grinder" movement capable of both manual and self-winding.
For a start, Nardin's trademark "Grinder" movement — which first debuted in 2001 — has made the transition to this new release. Notwithstanding an extremely high power efficiency (i.e. 50 hours), this innovative system — composed of ball bearings and a two stage satellite reduction gear — is actually capable of both automatic and manual winding. (A bezel integrated on the Freak Vision's caseback functions as the watch's winding crown.) Then there's the futuristic material provenance of the timepiece: while a silicon balance wheel is nothing new, the version used in Nardin's Grinder movement has been bonded with solid nickel elements — a departure from the gold alloys historically used in traditional mechanical watchmaking.
The resultant weight reduction increases the efficiency of the Grinder and is, in no small part, the reason for this experimental movement's large power reserve. Better still, Nardin have engineered the balance wheel's blades with silicon, so as to take advantage of improved air resistance, boosting the watch's accuracy in the process. The theme of futuristic manufacture is again apparent in the Freak Vision's anchor escapement — a constant force mechanism that was originally developed by Nardin in 2014. Fashioned exclusively from silicon, this escapement uses a circular frame and suspended pallet fork to achieve frictionless movement.
The Freak Vision's baguette style movement also doubles up as a rather novel minutes hand.
In profile, the Freak Vision has more than a little in common with its concept watch forebear. The baguette style movement still prominently doubles up as a minutes hand, rotating around its own axis once every hour; and gives the impression of a spaceship mid-flight. Very subtle differences abound however, including this model's use of box-domed style sapphire crystal and 45mm platinum case. At time of writing, it remains unclear whether Nardin plan to offer the Freak Vision as a non-limited release.
The Freak Vision is priced at CHF$95,000 (approximately HK$754,000). For more information about availability, please visit Ulysse Nardin.


Update 2/20/2019 – Eric has opted for a mid-course treatment that includes a lot of natural products, diet and, exercise. His doctors are very impressed with the success of this treatment, which they don't officially endorse. His spirits are high and his family is more active in community activities, as well. At this point, all indicators are positive, though initially, the cancer had spread substantially like a fire.
Update 7/16/2018 – Please pray for Eric Feldt, who has been fighting prostate cancer for the last six months. After striving to overcome the cancer through natural means for several months, it was deemed wise to fight this aggressive cancer by all means available including chemo and surgery.
Please include Eric in your prayers for healing.

What If an Asteroid Hit the Earth?
Would we suffer the same fate as the dinosaurs?
What if this football-field-sized space rock didn't make that turn? What if it kept moving towards us? Would it disintegrate in our atmosphere?
If not, how much time would we have to get out of the danger zone? And just how big would that danger zone be? Could our planet have any chance of survivng the collision?
Asteroids are hitting the Earth all the time. Every day, space bombards us with around 100 tonnes of dust and sand.Car-sized asteroids make it to our atmosphere about once a year. Lucky for us, they burn up in the mesosphere, never reaching the Earth's surface.
The massive 10-kilometer wide, life-threatening rocks like the one that wiped out all the dinosaurs, don't come by too often – maybe once every few million years. The ones we do have to worry about are asteroids the size of a football field that actually make it to the Earth's surface. Meteorites. They tend to come down to Earth every 2,000 years.
What if one of those was to hit us tonight? The extent of an asteroid's devastation to our planet all comes to where the it lands.
Just 3% of Earth's surface is populated, that means, in all likelihood, 97 asteroids out of 100 would just plunge into the ocean or flatten an uninhabited forest somewhere in Siberia or northern Canada. Damage to humans would be close to nothing.
But 3 out of every 100 asteroids would strike a populated city. Imagine seeing a 100-meter-long (330-foot) rock speeding towards you, traveling at 30 km (19 miles) per second…
From the moment it passed unharmed through the mesosphere, it would take less than 3 seconds for it to crash down to Earth. For a city like New-York, it would mean over 2.5 million casualties.
A huge firefall would destroy everything in a 3 km (2 mile) radius, and cause heavy damage to buildings within a 7 km (4.5 miles) radius. Maybe it's not all bad… Ever heard of the meteorite that slammed near the Russia's city of Chelyabinsk? That rock exploded with the force of 20 Hiroshima bombs and caused around $33 million worth of damage. Some of those losses were recovered by ingenious Russians selling meteorite pieces for up to $50 a gram.
Well, in our scenario, the meteorite is 5 times bigger! The freshly fallen space rock may pose the risk of widespread radiation if it were made up of radioactive heavy metals.
Of course, it wouldn't be as bad as a 10-kilometer wide asteroid hitting the Earth. In that case, the shock wave would be enough to wipe out a a good chunk of humanity right away. The Earth would get a new crater over a 100 km (62 miles) across and a ring of asteroid debris would give us a 'Saturn-like' appearance.
Most of this debris would rain back on Earth, setting cities… and forests on fire on fire and cooking everything that's not protected. You might want to invest in an underground bunker before this happens.
Because on the surface, it would be very, very dusty. All this dust and smoke would block the sunlight. Without the sun, all plants and a lot of animals would die out. After about a year, the atmosphere would clear up, but there would be very little food for humans left. And if we weren't resourceful enough, this would be the end of our race. We would suffer the same fate as the dinosaurs did 65 million years ago.
The good thing is we have the atmosphere to protect us from most asteroids, and NASA to keep an eye on the all the space rocks flying around us. Bad thing is that it's sometimes hard to detect the incoming rock until it's too late.

Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for feasts and gatherings with family and friends, but it can also be a stressful time for family pets. The Seattle Animal Shelter is sharing its top 10 tips to remind pet owners to take proper precautions and make sure they are considering their animals' safety when getting ready for and enjoying the holiday.
No table scraps. Don't give your pets table scraps, either intentionally or by accident. This means making sure your friends and family know they should not "share" their meal with your dog or cat.
Keep the brine away from your pet. Dogs and cats will smell and be interested in the salty solution left behind when you remove the turkey from the brine. If they lap it up, they risk salt toxicosis, which can result in serious issues like brain swelling.
Turkey bones, turkey skin or raw turkey.
Raw batter (cake or cookie).
Throw bones, corn cobs and other hazardous food items in outdoor compost/trash bins. You might think throwing that turkey carcass in the cabinet trash bin is enough to keep it away from your pet, but dogs and cats can find their way in with enough motivation. Take away the temptation by disposing of those harmful items in outdoor bins.
Supervise your pets around holiday decorations. Never leave your pet alone in an area with a lit candle. Also, ingestion of certain types of flowers can cause stomach upset in dogs and cats, and decorations like pine cones and needles could cause intestinal blockage.
Give pets a safe space to retreat to. Some pets get nervous or overexcited around strangers or crowds, and Thanksgiving might mean higher-than-normal noises and activity for your pet. Consider putting your pet in another room or in his or her crate with a favorite toy to help alleviate potential stress.
Keep an eye on exits and make sure gates are latched. With guests coming and going, and people pausing at the door for greetings and goodbyes, opportunity is created for your pet to dart out. Make sure to watch your pets when doors are opened, and remind guests not to let your pets out.
Don't leave your pet alone in a vehicle. Just like during hot summer weather, you should not leave an animal in a car during cold fall and winter weather. If you are going to a Thanksgiving gathering where you pet is not welcome, leave your pet at home.
Have emergency phone numbers available. Just in case your pet eats something it shouldn't or an accident occurs, have emergency phone numbers handy. Know where the closest emergency veterinarian is located. If you pet experiences signs of distress, such as change in behavior, pain, vomiting or diarrhea, contact your veterinarian immediately.
The Seattle Animal Shelter, located at 2061 15th Ave. W., is open from 1-6 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday for adoptions and licensing. The shelter will be closed on Thursday and Friday (Thanksgiving and the day after) for city-observed holidays. For more information, call 206-386-PETS (7387) or visit http://www.seattleanimalshelter.org.

Walking in Circles – two excerpts
This book comes with many antecedents. Like many others, the author has walked the fells of the Lake District and come back with the desire to share his experiences with others, to repay in some small part the wealth garnered from the fells by paying testament to them. One very famous example of this need hardly be named, since he has made the Lakes almost his own property.
One distinction this book may be have, rightly or wrongly, is that other writers have seemed to be professional walkers, whose life revolves around the fells. The author, who resides in Manchester, is not lucky enough to come within that category. For years he has been a strict two weeks away each year, leavened recently by the acquisition of a car that made weekend walking both practical and easy.
In fact, the author is a perfect example of practice making not so much perfect as customary, and of propinquity being the best source for love to grow. At the age of 10, he was laced into his first pair of walking boots and dragged, almost literally kicking and screaming, to the top of Hard Knott Pass, overland from Eskdale. This early reluctance, based on the proposition that wherever we were going it was too far, too steep, too hot, too cold and besides, these boots hurt, eventually gave way to enthusiasm when it was realised that there are certain things that can only be seen by walking out there and finding them.
Almost thirty years later, the author joined the ranks of those who have completed the Wainwrights.
Most walkers who start out along the well-beaten paths of Lakeland discover Wainwright's beautiful series of Guides, and many decide at some point or other that they want to climb all of them. They are not alone. Tourists of all sizes and shapes flood the Lakes each year, and many of them notice the presence of fells of all sizes and shapes around. Having noticed, a substantial proportion of them conceive the notion of climbing at least one. The majority lack the strength and stamina even for the idea to cross their minds, but that still leaves the vast numbers to be found stretched out on Helvellyn, Skiddaw and Scafell Pike every summer Saturday and Sunday.
The author finally reached his first summit in 1969, three years after that first walk, and achieved another eight summits before retiring from family holidays six years later. He resumed his walking career eight years later, with a shamefacedly strained ascent of Helm Crag, and has never looked back since then.
Family tradition was inimical to forward planning. Many a time the author would enquire "Where shall we go tomorrow?" only to be told that he hadn't finished with today yet. Parents across the land will approve of this response, though as the author was usually asking long after tea-time, it's not as if he was being unreasonable. So his own holidays were characterised by a carefully calculated programme of intent, calculated to start with a Sunday afternoon stroll up something low and easy (to get the legs working again) and build up to a Big Walk – such as Gable from Honister, the Fairfield Horseshoe or Skiddaw from the Long Side ridge – for the last day. In between, it was a point of honour not to use the same volume of the Illustrated Guides more than once.
The upshot of this was that the author entered 1994 with 28 tops to go, and the recognition that based upon his own capabilities, it would take at least 18 expeditions to collect all these summits.
Which provides the theme to his book. In these modern times, when the rigour of the market and the dictates of private enterprise are the hallmark of our forward thinking and progressive society, there is a crying need for proper preparation. The need to position ourselves in relation to international markets demands a business plan that will enable diligent walkers to wrap up the Wainwrights with the minimum fuss and bother.
The author has written a book that will enable the thrusting young fellwalker to complete within the shortest possible time what usually ends up being a mildly obsessive programme. By following the walks described, a new walker can round off the 214 Wainwrights with the minimum amount of time and trodden ground.
It is anticipated that there will be objections. The author foresees complaints and horrified denunciations from purists and traditionalists, who will castigate this attitude as the antithesis of what true fellwalking should be. There will be appeals to sentimental images, suggesting that walking is about beauty, delight and glory, about the experience of the day, the serendipity of the walk.
But though fellwalking is the perfect example of it being better to travel than to arrive, does the existence of a destination deprive the journey of its pleasure? Rather let us think of this, in the words of the current Home Secretary, as merely "walking with a purpose".
6. THE HIGHEST WALK OF ALL
Lingmell, Scafell Pike and Great End
This is the big one, the road to the highest mountain in England.
The author has long held the opinion that the finest sight in the Lakes, and therefore in all of England, is of Scafell Pike and Ill Crag soaring above Upper Eskdale. He also believes the southern approach, from Eskdale via Cam Spout, ascending by the Cowcove zigzags and descending by Throstlegarth, to be the purest approach to the Pike.
But he also believes the approach from Borrowdale, ascending by Sty Head and returning by Esk Hause and Grains Gill, is the finest approach, and therefore one of the very best walks of them all.
This time make ultra certain you are at Seathwaite early. A full day will be needed for this walk, and fine conditions are helpful too. The ascent of Scafell Pike is another walk that should be compulsory on days of preternatural clearness.
Having said how he regrets not being able to conduct his audience up Grains Gill, it will be thought strange that the author, having the very opportunity, proposes to save it for descent. Walkers with a healthy appetite will come back and ascend that route and may be pleased to argue the point, but the author holds to the opinion that Sty Head and the Corridor Route is far better in ascent than descent.
Instead of the highway to Stockley Bridge and the NT zigzags, turn through the square arch in the farmyard, cross the fields to the bridge and turn left along the beck. Surprisingly, the path is intermittent at first, over wet ground; make the most of grass underfoot whilst you've got it, there'll be precious little of it further on.
The path rises slowly, and quicker when it reaches the lip of the ravine of Taylorgill Force, climbing to a gate on top of a rock. Beyond lies the ravine, a desolate place of littered rock, through which the cascade tumbles.
The way ahead scrambles across rock. A tree projects from the rock in front and the route, not exactly obvious, passes directly under the branch: larger scale walkers bearing larger scale rucksacks may wish to remove the latter first. On the far side, the path emerges, curving around the ravine to join the wall above the falls. The valley narrows and the gradient eases as Seathwaite Fell looms above.
When the path disappears on rock, the main drag is nearby across the beck, offering easy walking on gravel, a summers day stroll to the top of the Pass. There's nothing to stop you plunging ahead, for the path will reappear, and the main drag comes back over a footbridge below the outflow of Styhead Tarn. Great End dominates the broad hause ahead.
The accepted summit of the Pass is at a walkers crossroads by the stretcher box, though the highest point is another ten yards further on, on the edge of the long downfall to Wasdale Head. This is a good point for an early sandwich, the effort involved to date having been enough to work up a decent appetite. Whilst the author was eating, England removed two South African wickets at Trent Bridge.
Start for Esk Hause but, after the first bluff, turn right to the lip of the downfall. The Corridor Route starts downhill, on scree, to cross the bottom of Skew Gill.
The next hour, spent traversing the fellside, is a passage into eternity: most walkers could spend several hours following this craggy trail, with its sequences of rock and scree, twists and turns. Throughout, Great Gable lies over the right shoulder, a seemingly vertical wall. Lingmell's shattered face lies ahead, with the startling sickle curve of Piers Gill hung below it.
The Corridor Route ends above Lingmell col, on the Scafell Pike slope. On the approach across the fellside, it looks as if the path turns up towards Broad Crag col, but the wide grey streak is a line of scree and the path itself, suddenly narrower, bears right. To arrive at the lowest point of the col, look below on the right for a path in a dell, coming round from the head of Piers Gill, to arrive by a broken wall. Aim for the path visible fifty yards up the slope and follow this quickly uphill onto the summit.
Like Pike O'Blisco, Lingmell once bore an, elegant, noble column. A tolerable facsimile of this still adorned the summit in 1969, when the author and his family reached their second top, but this too has gone, replaced by a substantial but simple cone. Could not this also be reconstructed in Wainwright's name?
Scafell Pike, an ocean of stone, lies across the col. The path is unmistakable, a riot of colour. The grey is the stone, the rest are the millions, climbing. It may not look as thickly crowded or processional as Striding Edge, but this is because the final slopes of the Pike are considerably broader. The way is stony, and tiring, but of all the final approaches this demands the least effort. A cairn seen on the skyline is not the summit, but beyond it is the flat top, leading to the final platform on which stands the most massive of cairns, constructed on a substantial shelter. This is the highest point in England.
If you have been foolish enough to climb up here on a sunny Saturday in summer, you will find this place littered with bodies. Whilst humanity en masse is somehow acceptable on Helvellyn or Skiddaw where it is only to be expected, transistor radios and kite-flying here is an offence. The people who have flocked up here have flocked up here because it is higher than anywhere else, and those who are standing on the wall shelter are standing there because that makes them even higher than the other people there, and should you wish, for some amazingly selfish reason of your own to visit the cairn, you will find them less than willing to make way; after all, that would put you higher than them.
After the ritual step up to the cairn (and the equally ritual oath never to come here again on a weekend), abandon the top to the hordes and cross the two hundred peaceful yards to isolation at the south peak. From here, superb close-up views may be had of Scafell Crag, Mickledore and Upper Eskdale. If the wind is in the right direction, everyone 200 yards away will be inaudible, and you can pretend to be alone.
Here is Scafell Pike, the highest fell in England. As may be expected, the views are superb, broad and wide-ranging. From this top, Scotland, Wales, and even Ireland may be glimpsed, should atmospheric conditions be favourable. Most amusing of all is Bowfell: from nowhere else can you look down on this mountain, which half turns and shrugs its shoulders, embarrassed at being exposed this way.
Nowhere after this will be as high. This is the middle of the book and the middle of our walk. There are still many miles to go before you may return to this lofted peak, this rough, stone-clad mountain. And you can be sure all those bloody trippers won't be here then!
On leaving, pass the summit on its right and head for the path to the rim of the top above Broad Crag col. A steep, badly eroded track, requiring careful placing of feet, descends sharply to the narrow hause, where Little Narrowcove, dropping sharply away on the right, is a frightening scene of devastation.
The path to Esk Hause crosses both Broad Crag and Ill Crag, dropping into and climbing out of successive deep and stony cols without visiting the summit of either of the two subsidiary Pikes. Ill Crag, now fixed in place of Broad Crag as the second highest of the group, is easy to reach; simply walk along the grass backed shoulder to a perched rocky summit looking out over Eskdale. Broad Crag is different meat. The path across its shoulder is hard enough, a scratch across a minefield of tumbled boulders. Compared to Broad Crag, the Pike is a smooth, polished top. Broad Crag's cairn is little more than fifty feet higher than the path, but to reach it, walkers have to be able to balance on needles, and move confidently across glass.
Assuming you return with two intact legs (broken arms don't count), descend from the shoulder of Ill Crag into Calf Cove col, where the path swings right towards Esk Hause. First, leave the highway for a track across the col and up a band of light coloured scree onto the top of Great End. There are two summit cairns; the rightmost and nearer is the highest point, so aim for the leftmost and further for its views over Borrowdale, and follow the lip of the cliffs – carefully – back. Return to the main path and follow it down to Esk Hause and the by-now familiar cairn.
This is our last visit. Take the short cut half left, the Gables peering over the near horizon, to gain the big path towards Sty Head. Leave this at Grains Gill where a stream begins in an earthy ravine alongside the path, before turning right into a deeper ravine. A path descends the gill, which is narrow, and long. After the miles travelled, anyone is entitled to feel sore-footed, but the descent will be made with satisfaction. Weariness too, but a good weariness.
The path shifts across the beck when the valley opens out, and descends easily to Stockley Bridge. From here, it's a flat half-mile to Seathwaite, where there is a farm shop, selling good, wholesome, natural products, like Mars Bars and Diet Coke (the author is open to sponsorship for his next book). From there, it's a flat whatever to wherever the car was left.
And if you want to feel proud, go ahead.

One thought on "Walking in Circles – two excerpts"
The above excerpts both come from 'Walking in Circles', a purported guidebook-cum-memoir of hundreds of days spent wandering the fells of the Lake District from my youth to my latter days. The book was originally completed in 1995 but did not see print until 2009, and is still available from Lulu.com by following this link: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/walking-in-circles/13045413?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1. One of my future projects is to produce a coffee-table version of this book, with my own – however imperfect – photos to decorate its pages. In the meantime, however, you may enjoy the style of the book enough to want to read more. Which, of course, you can always do: you know how…
