Q: the capslock functionaliy is reversed in Ubuntu Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS is running in virtualbox. The CapsLock is reversed when I turn it on.
Due to this when I have to type in lowercase I have to turn keyboard's CapsLock ON and when I have to type in uppercase have to turn OFF the CapsLock.
How to fix this CapsLock issue?

A: This can sometimes happen on certain OSes in Virtualbox when you save the machine state with capslock set to ON.
You should be able to fix it by setting capslock to ON on your keyboard, saving the machine state, switching capslock OFF on your keyboard and then restarting the VM.

A: This can be more complicated. I've seen your situation occasionally and it is frustrating. I never figured out how I got into it or really how I got out of it.
This happened again today on VB 6.1.38 running on OS X 12.6.  This time my guest Ubuntu 18.04 was configured with gnome-tweaks using CapsLock to choose an alternate keyboard (CapsLock off = US Keyboard; CapsLock on = Dvorak). The characters were shifted opposite of the CapsLock, but the keyboard choice followed CapsLock correctly.
The result of pressing the US Keyboard "g" key (= Dvorak "i" key):

*

*"G" CapsLock off, no shift

*"g" CapsLock off,    shift

*"I" CapsLock  on, no shift

*"i" CapsLock  on,    shift

Whatever code was choosing the keyboard layout was seeing CapsLock as it actually was, while whatever code was choosing between upper and lower case letters was seeing an inverted CapsLock.
Having CapsLock enabled during a save or a start up, didn't solve my "G vs g" problem (but it did alter whether the primary or alternate keyboard was chosen by CapsLock (swapping "G" for "I")).   Holding down Left or Right Shift at save or start seemed to only affect maybe the first key press.
I finally cleared things up by turning on the on-screen keyboard in the Guest (Ubuntu's Universal Access preferences), but I'm not quite sure how. Possibly it was fixed by the on-screen keyboard starting up.  (To confirm the fix stuck, I turned off the on-screen keyboard and saved the VM.  When it restarted, the keys worked as desired.)

Q: Updating the global integer variable I am modifying the global integer variable with some value in the Rule 1.
I need to get this modified value in some other rule say Rule 2.
global Integer deviceCapacity;

rule "Rule 1"
dialect "java"
no-loop true
when
    $snrData : SensorDataVO(getWeightOffset().size()>0,
    $initOffset:getInitialOffset());
then
    for(Integer iOff:$snrData.getWeightOffset()){
        $snrData.getOffsetChngesInterval().add(iOff-$initOffset);
        insert (new NotificationVO(iOff-$initOffset));
    }
    deviceCapacity=$snrData.getDeviceCapacity();
end

rule "Rule 2"
dialect "java"
no-loop true
when
    $mstData : MasterDataVO();
    $notification:NotificationVO((getOffsetWeight()/4).
    equals($mstData.getRodentWeight()));
then
    System.out.println("Abhijeet--"+deviceCapacity);
end

I am not able to access the updated deviceCapacity value in Rule 2,as i want to use the deviceCapacity value in place of "4" and want to do this until the deviceCapacity becomes 0 (deviceCapacity--).
Please help!

A: You can change the value of the object reference stored in a DRL global only by using the API:
then
//...
kcontext.getKieRuntime().setGlobal( "deviceCapacity",
                                    $snrData.getDeviceCapacity() );
end

Clearly, this is ugly and not checked at compile time. You might consider writing a wrapper
class IntWrapper {
    private int value;
    // getter, setter
}

global IntWrapper deviceCapacity;

Then you could do
deviceCapacity.setValue( $snrData.getDeviceCapacity() );

Or make int value public...

Flore Célestine Thérèse Henriette Tristán y Moscoso better known as Flora Tristan (7 April 1803 – 14 November 1844) was a French-Peruvian socialist writer and activist. She made important contributions to early feminist theory, and argued that the progress of women's rights was directly related with the progress of the working class.  She wrote several works, the best known of which are Peregrinations of a Pariah (1838), Promenades in London (1840), and The Workers' Union (1843).
Tristan was the grandmother of the painter Paul Gauguin.

Early life
Her full name was Flore Célestine Thérèse Henriette Tristán y Moscoso. Her father, Mariano Eusebio Antonio Tristán y Moscoso, was a colonel of the Spanish Navy, born in Arequipa, a city of Peru. His family was one of the most powerful in the south of the country; his brother Pío de Tristán became viceroy of Peru. Flora Tristan's mother, Anne-Pierre Laisnay, was French; the couple met in Bilbao, Spain.

When her father died in 1807, before her fifth birthday, the situation of Tristan and her mother changed drastically from the high standards of living they were accustomed to. In 1833 she travelled to Arequipa to claim her paternal inheritance, which was in possession of her uncle, Juan Pío de Tristán y Moscoso. She remained in Peru until 16 July 1834. Though she never secured the inheritance that brought her there, Tristan wrote a travel diary about her experiences during Peru's tumultuous post-independence period. The diary was published in 1838 as Pérégrinations d'une paria. Around this time, Tristan met and was influenced by the philosophy of the androgynous mystic Simon Ganneau, as well as her longtime friend Éliphas Lévi.

The Workers' Union
Tristan wrote this essay in 1843 after an extensive stay in Peru and a short trip to Britain where she produced works on the social conditions along the Channel. The Workers' Union was the last of her writings and gave her a public persona of political activist.  Through this work, one can compare Tristan to similar Utopian Socialists including Charles Fourier (whom she knew personally) and the works of the French Socialists, the Saint Simonians, whose works she had studied through the years.  Tristan took into account the studies and teachings of these previous socialists, but created a different solution to the suppression of not only the proletariat, but the working women as well. She was the first to connect the freedom of the working class with the advancement of women's rights.

Tristan recognized that the working class had been fighting for over twenty-five years to no avail. Her suggested solution was to act and create a Workers' Union. She saw a great advantage to this because "divided, you are weak and fall, crushed underfoot by all sorts of misery!  Union makes power. You have numbers in your favor, and numbers mean a great deal." Through union dues, she argued for plans to provide the proletariats' children with safe havens and increased access to education, to build palaces for the ill and wounded workers, and to reach out to manufacturers and financiers, including those among the nobility, in order to sustain and maintain such programs.

In two different essays, Flora Tristan acknowledged the need for the liberation of women in order to complete the emancipation of the working class, seeing as the working class itself was fractured. She argued that once society fixes these fissures (women's rights), the rest would fall into place. In that sense, women's liberation would lead to the greatest good for the greatest number of people, thereby supporting a Utilitarian mindset. Despite her positive stance on women's liberation, she recognized that in the post-revolution French society, women would not be easily considered equal just because they were human beings. She therefore had to base her argument on a series of benefits to the male majority. In addition to introducing new ways of thinking about socialism, Tristan was also the first to connect the emerging social rights movement to the idea of women's liberation. In doing so, she laid the groundwork for a new ideology—feminism. She made the analogy between the proletariat to the bourgeoisie and the wife to the family before Friedrich Engels, as is referenced in a posthumous collection of her notes by Abbe Constant entitled The Emancipation of Woman and the Testament of the Pariah: "The most oppressed man finds a being to oppress, his wife: she is the proletarian of the proletarian." Tristan's analogy is also more articulate than Engels'. The Worker's Union explained that the liberation of women would be the continuation of what the French Revolution had initiated. Like the proletariat, women would also have their day: "What happened to the proletariat, it must be agreed, is a good omen for women when their '1789' rings out."

Her effort at creating a common union was the last before her early death from typhoid fever in 1844. By drawing and building upon her colleagues' and mentors' socialist concepts, she attempted to create a logical and reasonable plan that the proletariat could realistically achieve. She opted to change the angle previously attempted and was able to include women's rights as an important lever in the machine to create an independent Workers' Union.

Contributions to historiography
Repressed for the most part in history, women's historiography has been gaining traction in the attempt of historians to highlight "minoritized" histories. Through her writings, Flora Tristan was able to show the ability of women to conceptualize the idea of freedom which emanated from her works.

Seeing the failure of the promises of capitalism, Flora Tristan works would entail a deep desire for social progress – combining the women struggle with socialism. When one would trace socialism going together with feminism, Flora Tristan would become the key person in this amalgamation. Flora Tristan would be known as the "mother of feminism and of popular communitarian socialism", fighting the prejudice and misogyny that powers women's oppression.

Tristan would organize the fragmented ideas of women equality at that time, brought by the French Revolution. She would provide the platform for the later rise of feminism in the late 19th century. Tristan would die "defending the rights of the proletarian or rather demanding them for him; she died whilst preaching, through her words and her actions, the law of union and love that she had brought to him".

Flora Tristan would be "the first woman to try to merge the proto-feminist and social discourses into a critical synthesis, opening the way leading for the future shape of feminism of a proletarian class character, which finds it inconceivable that there exist oppressed women who are capable of oppressing other women".

Tristan would highlight themes and ideas that gives primacy to worker's rights. She would be the first one to conceive the idea that the emancipation of the proletariat would be the synthesis of the people's struggle against the bourgeoisie. She would further add that this was only to be possible with the emancipation of the sexes.

Flora Tristan's life, works, and ideals have proved fruitful for the excavation of women's work through time. Establishing histories that would focus on the contribution of women, Flora Tristan has provided much in the progressing excavation of women's role in our history.

Recognition

Mario Vargas Llosa, in his 2003 historical novel The Way to Paradise, analyzes Flora Tristan and her grandson Paul Gauguin's contrasting quests for the ideal life through their experiences in and outside their native France.

Place Flora Tristan () in the XIVe Arrondissement, Paris, is marked with a sign describing Tristan as "Femme de Lettres" and "Militante Féministe".

The Centre Flora Tristan in Châtillon is a women's refuge. The Ecole Maternelle Flora Tristan (nursery school) in Orléans  and the Lycee Flora Tristan (secondary school) in Noisy-le-Grand are also named after her.

The Flora Tristán Peruvian Women's Center is a non-governmental organization named in her honor.

Lighting Science: How is Light Spectrum Measured?
Lamps and fixtures are typically measured within an integrating sphere which breaks down the total amount of energy (photons), for each wavelength of light. This sphere collects all the emitted radiation and sends it to a spectrometer. The spectrometer measures the intensity (or power) of electromagnetic radiation across the range from 360nm to 1000nm, with 1nm resolution. The normalized output of this energy is typically called the Spectral Power Distribution and is often published as a graph to show what the characteristic output is for a given light source.
Full spectrum light sources, e.g. Sunmaster's FULL NOVA product line, have a very balanced spectrum (very similar amounts of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, etc) similar to that of sunlight. While full spectrum, they may be weighted toward having slightly more blue or more red content.


Dubai has four seasons, but the climate of it is mostly warm and humid. It can reach dry condition when the weather is extremely heated. General climate in Dubai is sunny and warm, due to its position near the Tropic of Cancer. We can find an average daytime temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) during the winter season here. It has nighttime temperatures near the coastline range between 12 °C (54 °F)-15 °C (59 °F), while in the desert they are 5 °C (41 °F) with the nights being relatively cool throughout the year.
Humidity averages near coastal areas is between 50% and 60% and in summer, the weather in Dubai is humid and very hot. The temperature in summer reaches 45 °C (113 °F). Even the sea temperature reaches 37 °C (99 °F). Dubai reached its highest recorded temperature on 52.1 °C (126 °F).
It rarely rains in Dubai and the rainfall here never last for a long period. Rain mostly falls during the winter period between December and March in the form of short downpours and an occasional thunderstorm. Rain falls on Dubai only five days a year on average.
From the side of monthly climate, the data shows many months that has average maximum daytime temperature above 40 °C. The average maximum daytime temperature in January is 24 °C (75 °F), 25 °C (77 °F) in February, 28 °C (82 °F) in March, 32 °C (90 °F) in April, 38 °C (100 °F) in May, 40 °C (104 °F) in June, 42 °C (108 °F) in July, 43 °C (109 °F) in August, 39 °C (102 °F) in September, 36 °C (97 °F) in October, 31 °C (88 °F) in November, and 26 °C (79 °F) in December. This scale can show us the reason why Dubai never snows and rarely rains along the year even it has four seasons.
The average of monthly rainfall itself are 10 mm (0.4 inches) in January, 35 millimeters (1.4 in) in February, 27 millimeters (1.1 in) in March, 8 millimeters (0.31 in) in April, 1 millimeter (0.039 in) in May, very little chance of any rainfall in June, August, and September, almost no rain in July and October, only 3 millimeters (0.12 in) in November, and 15 millimeters (0.59 in) with rain generally falling on just 2 days of the month in December as well as January. This data really proves that rain is the precious thing in Dubai.
During the summer season, strong north-westerly winds blow from Saudi Arabia due to a low pressure area develop over Dubai. These winds, also called Shamal (north) in Arabic, become unpredictable and gusty on reaching Dubai. Shamal reduces visibility by boosting up the desert sand and the sandstorms may last for several days. Some notable sandstorms that happened in Dubai during the last few years are on January 28, 2011, formed a sandstorm which hit Dubai for a short time, on February 26, 2012, formed strong sandstorm which beated Dubai and other parts of the country and currently on April 2, 2015 shaped a very strong sandstorm that hit Dubai and other parts of the country.

Mumbai: For the third time in a month, crippled infrastructure conglomerate IL&FS Financial Services Monday defaulted on interest payments on commercial papers.
The interest payment on the papers were due Monday, the company informed the exchanges.
The company said it will not be able to access commercial papers market for up to six months from the date of repayment of this obligation. The company did not quantify the default amount.
"The commercial papers which were due on 24 September, could not be serviced by the company," the company said in a BSE filing.
Last Friday, its managing director and chief executive Ramesh C Bawa and some key board members had resigned amid crisis in the IL&FS group for alleged defaults in loan payments and corporate governance issues.
The infrastructure conglomerate has come under the scanner of multiple regulators, including Sebi, for alleged defaults related to financial disclosures and corporate governance.
Earlier this month, it came to light that IL&FS group defaulted on a short-term loan of ₹ 1,000 crore from Sidbi, while a subsidiary has also defaulted ₹ 500 crore dues to the development finance institution.
While IL&FS group has a consolidated debt of ₹ 91,000 crore with IL&FS alone having nearly ₹ 35,000 crore, IL&FS Financial Services ₹ 17,000 crore, which sits as standard asset for most of the lenders, according to a Nomura India report.

Portland was a city of 70,000 when Emily Loveridge arrived, fresh from Bellevue Hospital's School of Nursing in New York City. Good Samaritan Hospital was a two-story building with 50 beds. But it was there that Emily Loveridge found her life's work and was a major force in bringing nursing to professional status in the West. She had determination, spirit and the willingness to work hard. As one of only three graduate nurses in Portland, she recognized the need for qualified nurses and on June 1, 1890, with five students enrolled, opened the first school of nursing in the Northwest. She established a tradition of excellence in nursing that remains as the foundation of Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing today.
In 1982, in response to the national trend in nursing education to place the education of nurses in institutions of higher learning, Emily Loveridge's Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing became the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing under the auspices of Linfield College, a strong, liberal arts college. Today's graduates receive a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree.
Whether the School was responding to the need for nurses to help victims of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake or providing medical care during World Wars I and II, nurses trained at Good Samaritan Hospital have responded to health care needs throughout the region, the country and the world. That tradition continues today with the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing. Graduates work not only in the Northwest, but throughout the world. The tradition of excellence in nursing education continues.

It is interesting how memory works. Sometimes memories are powerful and pop-up at unexpected times. Sometimes they come unbidden and other times more consciously on specific dates. Sometimes we just forget. In this particular case, I forgot.
Twenty-two years ago yesterday I became a father for the first time. Until Laura reminded me last night, I had forgotten that it was June 5th and the significance of that date in my life. It's not like I really forgot my kids birthday. Thomas and Jennifer (no longer their first names) are genetically my kids, but I haven't seen them since they were 10 days old. I was a teenager and my girlfriend at the time and I decided to place them for adoption. I've written and spoken about the whole experience many times in the past and I am not going to repeat it here. If you are interested in the story, you can listen to the radio interview I did on the subject.
So June 5th is a memory marker for me. It is fading with time. I think that happens when you find peace with your memories.


1. Lorne Bowerman, the President, opened the meeting at 2:00 PM and welcomed everyone. Lorne appointed Connie Bowerman as Recording Secretary. Lorne introduced the Board members present: Ted Manning, Howard Stanley, and Jack Hobbs. Patrick Gillilland and Rhodena Bell were unable to attend.
2. Lorne confirmed that we have a quorum. In response to a question, Lorne said that a quorum is 20% of our paid-up members which is usually around 50 or about one-half of the possible members. That would mean we would need 10 members present.
3. Lorne explained the conduct of the meeting and the use of voting cards. Anyone could speak to a motion, however, only those with voting cards could vote.
4. Don Drummond moved seconded by Ken Potter that the Agenda be accepted. Carried.
5. Jack Hobbs moved seconded by Ted Manning that minutes of the last Annual General Meeting be approved. Carried.
6. Howard Stanley, the Treasurer, distributed a Statement of Revenue & Expenses and the Balance Sheet for the year ending July 31, 2008. Howard noted that we had 48 membersips for 2007/2008 and that we had on July 31, 2008 13 memberships for the next year, 2008/2009. We had a total revenue of $1,220.00 and expenses of $635.12, leaving excess revenue of $584.88. The Balance Sheet showed Assets of cash in the bank of $1,100.42. With nil Liabilities, Equity consists of the bank balance of $515.54 on July 31, 2007 plus the excess revenue for the year ending July 31, 2008, giving a total of $1,100.42. (Assets minus Liabilities equals Equity).
The records of Receipts and Disbursements as well as the Balance Sheet have been reviewed and found to accurately portray the Association's position for the year ended 31 July, 2008.
Mr. Stanley is to be congratulated. All records were found to be very detailed and easily reviewed.
Minor comments/recommendations are listed below.
Receipts should always show the dollar amounts to avoid later confrontation eg 638603 and 638604.
All invoices approved for payments should be stamped or written "Paid" with the "cheque number" and "date". This makes future cross references easily done and prevents the item being paid again.
8. After further discussion, Howard moved seconded by Terry Wilkie that the financial statement be accepted. Carried with a round of applause for the good job that Howard is doing.
9. Lorne explained the progress of the Lake Management Plan. The initial phase which gives the history and state of the lake at the present is just about completed. The next phase will be a process to discover things that should be done to maintain the health of the lake as we have it now. Ted Manning gave a report on the water quality tests that he has been doing this year. Lorne noted that our Secchi reading is still 5.5 metres which is very good. Jim Neelin asked whether shoreline management would be included in the Lake Management Plan and was advised that it would be. Several members noted the high water levels this summer It is the thought that these are because of the record setting amount of rain. The Township is clearing the culverts on a regular basis without reference to the Association. Lorne passed around a sample of the marble/limestone mud that has been found at the bottom of the lake and creek. The opinion is that this is the reason the lake is slightly alkaline at lower levels. Ken Potter asked about clear cutting close to Patterson Lake. The answer seems to be that it is perfectly legal on private land. Lorne distributed information about septic tank management noting the two main points; it is a property owner's responsibility, and the sludge should be pumped out when the tank is one-third full. Joannah Jarman mentioned www.wellaware.ca for information.
10. In regard to lake security, Lorne told the meeting that the last OPP visit was not at the request of the Association. Lorne stated that the OPP have the right to patrol the lake at any time with or without the Association's knowledge or consent. Margaret Driscoll reported major damage from a boat colliding with their dock one night. The OPP were notified but could do little as there was no identification. Mary Elizabeth Jamieson raised the problem of speeding boats close to shore and will contribute an article for the Newsletter. Wendell Crosbie spoke of the need for swimmers to make sure they can be seen by boaters by wearing hats, caps, or using noodles.
11. Lorne gave the report of the Nominating Committee of the Whole Board. The nominations were Lorne Bowerman from Lakeside Rd/White Pine Lane, Jack Hobbs from Porcupine Way, Ted Manning from Hardwood Ridge Rd, and Howard Stanley from Fairs Way/Lane. Volunteers were requested for Parsons Way/Lane, however no one came forward. We also lack a nomination from Nelsons Way/Joes Crescent. Jack moved seconded by Ted that the nominations be accepted. Carried. The Board will work on getting representations from the missing road areas.
12. It was moved by Howard and seconded by Ted that Bud Kern be appointed Auditor. Carried. Also, it was moved by Howard and seconded by Ted that the Royal Bank of Canada be appointed bankers to the Association. Carried.
14. Under Other Business, Ted opened a discussion about a Lake Association Summer Event, noting that we have a large number of paddleboats on the lake. Mary Elizabeth Jamieson, Dorothy Hobbs, Dave MacCrimmon, and Kathleen Sullivan volunteered to work on the suggestion. Jim Higginson spoke about living with loons and offered to write something for the Newsletter. Johannah Jarman spoke about mineral rights, and offered as well to write something for the Newsletter.
15. There being no further business, it was moved by Larry Heide and seconded by Don Drummond that the meeting adjourn. Carried. Jack Hobbs requested a round of applause for Lorne for the work his has done for the Association, and this was warmly given.

Obituaries for Aug. 17, 2017
Holocaust survivor Yisrael Kristal, the world's oldest living man in 2016, died Aug. 11. Wikipedia
World's oldest man, a Holocaust survivor in Israel, dies at 113
Yisrael Kristal, a Holocaust survivor from Haifa who was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest man in the world, has died, a month before his 114th birthday.
Haaretz reported that Kristal died Aug. 11.
Born on Sept. 15, 1903, in the town of Zarnow, Poland, Kristal moved to Lodz in 1920 to work in his family's candy business. He continued operating the business after the Nazis forced the city's Jews into a ghetto, where Kristal's two children died. In 1944, he was deported to Auschwitz, where his wife, whom he had married at 25, was killed.
In 1950, he moved to Haifa with his second wife and their son, working again as a confectioner. In addition to his son and daughter, Kristal has numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Guiness recognized him as the world's oldest living man in 2016.
When asked at the time what his secret was to long life, Kristal said: "I don't know the secret for long life. I believe that everything is determined from above and we shall never know the reasons why. There have been smarter, stronger and better-looking men than me who are no longer alive. All that is left for us to do is to keep on working as hard as we can and rebuild what is lost."
Last year, when he turned 113, about 100 family members celebrated his bar mitzvah, a century after he missed it due to the upheavels of World War I.

Max's musical training began in New York City where he was lucky enough to have major session musicians as neighbors in his building teaching him guitar as a child. By his early teens he was studying classical guitar, alongside theory and orchestration, at the High School of the Performing Arts. He relocated to Spain to further his classical guitar studies under the esteemed guitarist/ teacher Jose Tomas. While there Max ran a commercial recording studio, where he began immersing himself in the emerging digital technologies. After moving to London, he continued working as a session musician. He has recorded, toured and collaborated with artists including Kevin Ayers, Paul Weller, Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction), Jah Wobble, Carl Barat (Libertines) and Marc Almond. In 2011 he was commissioned to compose recitatives and an aria for a production of "The Coronation of Poppea" by the Théatre du Châtelet in Paris which centered around virtual instruments and sampling delivered by multiple computers live on stage with the players. Max continues working with artists of every genre in mixing, sound design, drum programming, bass and keyboards.

Amberley House
Russell's last home in England before he left for America was located in Kidlington, near Oxford. His previous home, Telegraph House in Sussex, had been sold in February 1937 but there was a long close. This gave him ample time to find a new home. He first considered living in Wales where he and his wife Peter had spent part of 1933 and 1934. On 17 February 1937 he wrote to his daughter Kate that "We are getting lists of houses in Anglesey & other places, which is quite exciting." On 9 March he wrote to both John and Kate: "We are getting lists of houses in Cornwall & Wales, & I think the best plan will be for me to come to Dartington [their school] with the car at the end of term, & you & I will go together to look at them. There is a nice one near the Lizard, & what sounds like a very nice one between Barmouth & Dolgelly. Poor Peter is sad because she can't come to see them too." On 18 March 1937 he told his friend Lion Phillimore that "we are looking for a small cottage, preferably in North Wales."
On 5 May 1937 he wrote the philosopher and historian of ideas Isaiah Berlin: "In view of what you say, I cannot refuse the Chicago offer, & it probably makes it impossible for me to lecture in Oxford next term; but as the date when the job begins was not stated, I cannot be sure." On 14 May he again wrote to Berlin: "The American invitation is definitely for 2 years, & I cannot jeopardize it for a prospect which remains uncertain. But I think it probable that I can come to some arrangement with them which will suit you." On 22 June he notified Berlin that the Chicago offer was definitely off. In the same letter he indicated that he had from Oxford "the official invitation, & accepted it." He preferred "to lecture in the Hilary Term; it will certainly give time for me to make a better course. But I can lecture in the autumn if there is any important reason for so doing. One point: the official letter suggests that I should lecture on 'Thought & Language.' I had proposed to lecture on 'Language & Fact' as 'thought' does not interest me." Then on 10 September he told Berlin that he had accepted the Oxford invitation to lecture after Christmas. He would also "enjoy reading a paper to the Philosophical Society if it could be on a topic connected with my lectures." He invited Berlin to lunch or tea at Telegraph House. "I can't ask anyone to stay, as we are packing up and dismantling. I don't know how soon I shall be at Kidlington, but probably about Oct. 10." Caroline Moorehead noted that Berlin "never greatly cared for Russell personally" (p. 454).
The purchase of his new home was financed in part by the sale of Telegraph House. John J. Withers, the trustee, lent him £1,000 from the Trust which had owned Telegraph House towards the purchase price of £1,800.1 Russell had a reversionary interest in the Trust. On 19 September he wrote to his publisher, Stanley Unwin, "to ask whether you could let me have my half-yearly cheque before Sep. 28, if quite convenient, as on that day I have to pay for a house I have bought at Kidlington, near Oxford. I have sold this house, but the money goes into a trust, and is not available for the new house." A few days later, on 23 September, he thanked Unwin "very much for so quickly sending me the half-year cheque plus £100, which, at the moment, is a great convenience to me."
On 2 September Russell wrote to his old friend and former lover, Ottoline Morrell: "I have bought a house at Kidlington, near Oxford: an old house with a nice walled garden, which [i.e. the wall] hides the ugly villas and bungalows. We hope to move into it at the end of this month." On 18 September Russell's much younger wife, Peter, who had studied at Oxford in the early 1930s as an undergraduate, wrote to Ottoline: "Bertie says you seem puzzled that we should choose to live at Kidlington. I am almost equally puzzled myself—it has just happened—chiefly because Bertie has to be in Oxford this winter and we are anxious to settle permanently. And he wants society but dislikes London and Cambridge. He has many friends and acquaintances in or near Oxford. Apart from them I have only one friend there now. And if the place swarmed with my friends I should not have time to enjoy them. Being Bertie's secretary and [their son] Conrad's nurse, moving a house, and trying to keep up with Bertie's work doesn't leave much for social life. So you mustn't think I am dragging him at my chariot-wheels to Kidlington. When we thought of living in Wales everyone reproached me for proposing to hide him away from the world." Kidlington is about five miles north of Oxford while Bagley Wood, where he lived from 1905 to 1911, is about four miles south of Oxford.

A few days later on 25 September Russell again wrote to Ottoline: "My chief reason for wanting to go there is that I have gone back to philosophy, and I want people to talk to about it. I am lecturing there after Xmas and shall get to know all the people in my line, of whom, among the younger dons, there are now quite a number. In Cambridge I am an ossified orthodoxy; in Oxford, still a revolutionary novelty." He told her the name of the house was Greystones but that they were thinking of changing the name. He also, luckily, told her the street address, 16 Lyne Road. He informed his American publisher, W.W. Norton, on 29 September that "my address henceforth is Amberley House. We move in in a fortnight." On the same day he wrote to John and Kate from Telegraph House that "we now own Kidlington (since yesterday); we leave this house on Oct. 13, as Kidlington couldn't be got ready sooner." Amberley House got its name from the courtesy title associated with the Russell earldom. The heir to the earldom uses the title "Viscount Amberley" until he inherits. Russell's father never inherited the earldom and thus the Russells' book about his parents is titled The Amberley Papers—it had been published in March. Russell's older brother Frank named the house he lived in before he moved to Telegraph House, "Amberley Cottage." It was located at Maidenhead near the River Thames.
"The earliest known detailed map of Kidlington dated 1766–67, shows Lyne Farm House, 18 Lyne Road and Greystones" (Aubertin-Potter, p. 7). In her book, Norma Aubertin-Potter described Greystones, giving it the address of 6 Greystones Court. The address, 16 Lyne Road, which Russell used does not appear in her book. A 1910 Land Valuation "lists the main rooms of the house as comprising five bedrooms, two sitting rooms, dressing room, box room, kitchen, garden, a housemaid's pantry and back kitchen. Adjoining the main property were two three-roomed cottages with stables, greenhouse, garden and orchard with some 40 old fruit trees and a pasture field" (Aubertin-Potter, p. 19). By 1936 "the house [was] in the possession of a Mrs. Mary Shuffrey" who sold it to Russell (Aubertin-Potter, p. 20). After passing through the hands of Rev. Alan Dalby, the house was purchased in September 1950 by "Major Philip Cotes Hailey [who] had just been appointed Bursar of the newly founded St. Antony's College, Oxford … At this time Greystones would have overlooked Wilsdon's field, home of Kidlington Cricket Club until the early Sixties … In the 1970s the orchard behind the house was sold and today a modern housing development stands on the site" (Aubertin-Potter, p. 21). I looked in vain for any mention of the "ugly villas and bungalows" described by Russell. Most of the structures are described as cottages. The author noted that "within living memory Lyne Road was a country lane." The undated photograph below from Aubertin-Potters's book contains what may be villas.

On 23 October Russell wrote to his American publisher, W.W. Norton: "My lectures on Power have begun, & go well.2 Of the book, I have about 50,000 words done, so I ought to be finishing it in time for next autumn. On 30 October Russell wrote to Kate: "The house is in order, but they are still busy with the cottages. I have just been looking at them, upstairs & down, & I think they will very nice—There is lots of light now that the creepers are cut." The next month on 14 November he told her that "the Cottages are finished, & look very nice. They are sunny & not at all dark. I feel sure you will like them." On 12 December he wrote to his old friend, Lucy Donnelly: "It was very disappointing not seeing you last Sunday; I hope your cold got better … I wish we could ask you here for a visit, but have no spare room … I hope you will be coming to Oxford again, & will come out here for any meal that suits you. I should like my wife to know you, & I should like you to know my youngest son, Conrad Sebastian Robert. (Sebastian after Bach, Robert after his ancestor Robert Bruce.)"
In an undated letter Peter told Ottoline that the house "is very nice, though surrounded by bungalows—hidden from sight by a high stone wall—and it has a walled rose garden which we all like—and John and Kate have a cottage each and don't live with us! I think that is one of the chief reasons why we are going there!" (Letter no. 1769A). Russell's older children, John and Katharine, were by then teenagers, craving some independence. They spent most of their time at their boarding school, Dartington Hall, while splitting vacation time between their father and their mother, Dora. On 8 November 1937 Russell wrote to Elizabeth Trevelyan: "This house is very comfortable & Peter has been very clever about it. She got very tired, and was ordered to rest in bed, which she is doing—with good results."
On Christmas eve he wrote to both John and Kate that their presents were being kept until their arrival on 30 December. On that day he wrote to Kate: "Here is £5 for Xmas & birthday present, which you can spend as you like on furniture for your cottage. Peter has worked very hard at the cottages, & I think you will both like them; but some things had to wait for you to come, so that you could have just what you would like." This letter indicates that neither John nor Kate had yet been to Amberley House.
Katharine Tait wrote about Amberley House in her book about her father: "He bought an old house, in the village of Kidlington, which Peter's gifts soon turned into another beautiful home. It was a lovely house, with exquisite walled gardens, but to me it will always be a place of great unhappiness. The year we spent at Oxford was a time of bitter division for us all: faultfinding between our parents and cautious silence between John and me" (My Father, p. 128). "The house in Kidlington had a pair of two-roomed cottages attached to it, which were fixed up for John and me, since the house itself was not big enough for all of us. I had the cottage nearest the house and John the end one" (My Father, p. 129). She and John had lost their ability to communicate. "In that house too my father explained to me one day that he found it best to have a set routine for things like shaving, dressing, emptying and filling his pockets, so that he never had to think about them" (My Father, p. 130). John's cottage was named Fountain Cottage. On 13 November 1937, John wrote to Russell and Peter, telling them he liked the name. "I am very glad there is a fountain outside. I hope you will be able to make it work." On 27 November John was "glad the cottages are finished…."

Earlier that month, on 6 November, Russell attended a meeting of the Oxford University Philosophical Society where G.E. Moore read a paper on "What Do We Know with Certainty?" Russell and A.J. Ayer took part in the discussion (1937 Minutes).
On 27 January 1938 Russell told Unwin: "I intend to finish 'The Science of Power' as soon as possible after I have given the lectures on 'Language & Fact' which I am now giving at Oxford. I shall need a short holiday in March,3 & in May I have promised a fortnight to the Peace Pledge Union … I feel fairly confident of being able to finish the book in June." On 17 May he wrote to John from Bradford: "I am on a tour, speaking on pacifism every night for a fortnight. Tomorrow Aberdeen, next day Norwich, & so on. I get to know the British railway system."
On 8 February 1938 Russell wrote to Ottoline: "It is shocking that I have not written for such a long time—I am lecturing for the University on Language and Fact, and it uses up my store of language." The lectures were later published as An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth (1940). Russell had told Unwin about these lectures on 10 July 1937: "My Oxford lectures will be a first sketch of a serious philosophical work on 'Language & Fact', intended to be important … it will take time, & I should aim at finishing it in time for autumn publication in 1940." On 13 February 1938 he lectured to the Oxford University Philosophical Society on "Propositional Attitudes." The meeting lasted from 8.30 to 10.45 pm. There were approximately 25 people in attendance including Professor Gilbert Ryle and Russell responded to questions (1938 Minutes).
On 15 March 1938 Richard McKeon of the University of Chicago offered him a position as Visiting Professor for the academic year 1938–39 at a salary of $5,000 which he accepted on 28 March with the caveat that he could cancel within two weeks by telegram. On 10 April he told Ottoline: "I have to finish a book4 before June 30; after that, I shall not be very busy. But I may have to go to Chicago for the winter; it is still uncertain." Ottoline died later that month on 21 April, aged 64, of heart failure. The press release announcing Russell's appointment at the University of Chicago for the autumn and winter quarters of 1938–39 was issued on 25 April 1938 (Rec. Acq. 968b).
In May and June of 1938 his old friend, Lucy Donnelly and her friend, Edith Finch (later Russell's fourth wife), were still visiting from America. He invited them to tea; he wanted Lucy to meet his young son Conrad which presumes Lucy and Edith would have gone to Amberley House. On 2 June he wrote to Lucy: "I am sorry you will not have seen her [Peter] and the child [Conrad]." He did, however, visit Lucy and Edith in London. Writing to their mutual friend Helen Flexner on 21 June 1938, Lucy noted that: "Bertie came to tea on Thursday and seemed in great form. I noticed the change in his eyes, dimmed, almost glazed, and the sharpened lines of his face, but he seemed well & happy & intensely alive, talked with great satisfaction of his children; a good deal about Peace and War; & about his family, telling many good stories after Edith came in, & his new book Power, staying until past seven. Edith said I drove him away by mentioning Aristotle! Alys! [Russell's first wife] tells me he came up for 'the Apostles' dinner." On 31 January 1939, writing from Chicago to Lucy, Russell clarified: "Please tell Miss Finch that what drove me away was the realization that I had stayed an unconscionable time; her remarks on Aristotle were more calculated to make me stay."
Constance Malleson, a former lover of Russell's, visited in July before leaving for Sweden. She arrived by train, Russell met her on the platform. She described the visit to her mother, Lady Annesley, in a letter she wrote from Sweden in July. "Outside the station, Peter was sitting at the wheel of the car, and drove us to their house which is set in a well-made garden with wide lawn. The day was brilliantly hot. We went into the sitting room before luncheon ... The room, not much lived in, was pleasant and cool though quite colourless. His Chinese scrolls were on the walls. Peter has an excellent cook, and we had exactly the right sort of luncheon: a good mayonnaise salad (lobster or salmon I forget), followed by strawberries and cream. " John barely spoke during lunch; both he and Kate drank wine. After lunch they "vanished the moment they could. They've rooms of their own in a cottage in the garden: John's room pleasantly bare, with fencing paraphernalia on the walls; Kate's, with tiny ornaments spattered everywhere. We then sat on the lawn, with the new infant plopped down on the grass to sunbathe." Later on "we went into the study for a quick tea, Lapsang as usual. The study is properly lived in: lots of books and good big comfortable armchairs." She felt a "stab as I saw Voltaire's familiar bust behind which I used to put rowan branches in 1918." She also wrote about the day in her book, In the North: "In the wall-enclosed garden of Amberley House, we sat on that brilliant July day; his two children, John and Kate, lay full length on the green English lawn; his smallest son, Conrad, straddled the grass without a stitch of clothing, the living image of glorious health ... And B.R.'s wife, also, had not changed at all in the eight years since I'd seen her ... The day ebbed imperceptibly; but—for me—punctuated by frail commas, sharp colons, graven forever by the long ago past. There was the same faintly aromatic blend of China tea which B.R. had drunk most of his life; and which Harrods Stores persisted in addressing to Miss Bertrand Russell. On his mantelpiece there was the same bust of Voltaire ... And there was the same exquisite Persian bowl B.R. had wanted to give me … So the day ebbed" (p. 76). John and Kate had arrived in Kidlington on 23 July (Kate Tait chronology).
On 30 July he told Unwin that he was reading the proofs of Power; on 6 August he returned the proofs. On 9 September he wrote to Bob Trevelyan: "I return the typescript of your translations of Leopardi, which both Peter and I liked immensely … I thought I oughtn't to take them to America."
Oxford did not work out as planned. In his Autobiography, Russell wrote: "We bought a house at Kidlington, near Oxford, and lived there for about a year, but only one Oxford lady called. We were not respectable" (2: 194). They did meet up with their friends Gerald and Gamel Brennan. In a letter published in the Autobiography, Gamel wrote: "Yes, we must somehow meet more often. We must have picnics in Savernake Forest—and find some charming place to come together half way between Kidlington and Aldbourne [in Marlborough where they were living]. Gerald and I are going to take bicycles this summer, so we can meet anywhere" (2: 210). Professionally things went well for Russell: he lectured at the London School of Economics, lectured at Oxford, and wrote his book Power. But he could not secure the financial stability he needed to support his family. Chicago provided that in the short term.
The house was sold with the date of conveyance of the title to Rev. Alan Dalby recorded as 26 August 1938. Russell wrote in his Autobiography: "In August 1938, we sold our house at Kidlington. The purchasers would only buy it if we evacuated it at once, which left us a fortnight in August to fill in somehow. We hired a caravan, and spent the time on the coast of Pembrokeshire. There were Peter and me, John and Kate and Conrad, and our big dog Sherry. It poured with rain practically the whole time and we were all squashed up together. It was about as uncomfortable a time as I can remember. Peter had to prepare the meals, which she hated doing. Finally, John and Kate went back to school at Dartington, and Peter and Conrad and I sailed for America" (2: 217). The caravan was located in Pencarnan near St. David's. In fact, Russell left at the beginning of September, with John and Kate. He wrote to Peter on 1 September from the Royal Hotel, Cardiff: "We got here without adventure & went to a movie." He added: "I am sorry John & I were so irritating." Kate wrote Peter a letter on 6 September from Carn Voel: "I hope you are having an easier time now there aren't so many of us in the caravan."
On 2 September Russell wrote to Peter from Swindon, Wilts. "I am on my way to Oxford, having parted from the children at Newport." In Oxford he stayed at the Kings Arms Hotel working on his lectures. On the 3rd of September he advised Peter against joining him. The hotel "is dirty & the food is bad." You can't bring Conrad here. Peter remained stuck alone in the caravan with a toddler. Possibly Sherry was still there as well; the dog did not travel with them to America. He stayed for several days, writing on 6 September: "I am quite happy here … quite comfortable at this hotel now …" Tact was definitely not his middle name. He met Peter and Conrad at Paddington Station on Saturday 10 September; they went to the London home of his cousins, Ted and Margaret Lloyd—Margaret was the daughter of his uncle, Rollo Russell. He wrote to Elizabeth Trevelyan on 11 September 1938: "We are at the Royal Court Hotel [in Sloane Square], as there was difficulty about Conrad's needs at the Lloyds." The trio left Southampton on 17 September on the MV Britannic.5 They were not to return to England until 1944.
No photographs are known to have survived from Russell's days at Amberley House where he stayed for less than a year. Google Street View of 16 Lyne Road offers only a glimpse of the house. The photograph below was taken at an unknown but somewhat recent date. It shows the attached cottage(s) now separated from the main house by a wooden fence. Another photograph, in Additional Images, shows the house situated at the corner of Lyne Road and Greystones Court. The photographs were provided to me along with some neighbourhood gossip: "The house was originally built by the Bishop of Oxford for his mistress and the adjoining cottage was for his coachman to stay in when the good Bishop was over-nighting in the 'big house.'" Which Bishop of Oxford this might be is unknown. Russell was acquainted with one of the Bishops of Oxford, Charles Gore (1853–1932), who served as the Bishop of Oxford from 1911 to 1919. They met occasionally at Garsington, the county home of Ottoline Morrell. Amberley house obviously pre-dates Gore's term as bishop. Russell would have enjoyed why this house had been built if he had known. The house was described as "delightful" by Mrs. H.W. Dalby, presumably Alan Dalby's wife, in an undated letter (document .048827). Its name reverted back to Greystones after the Russells left.

South of the river macaron experts LuxBite don't want any presents for their birthday – they're giving them to you.
For the past year, Bernard Chu and Yen Yee – owners and chefs of Toorak Road's LuxBite – have been winning the hearts of South Yarra locals with their macarons, desserts and savoury fare. Fuelling Melbourne's macaron mania with unconventional flavours like Ribena lemonade, rose and lychee, and bamboo oolong tea and pandan, the two have garnered quite the reputation.
To celebrate their first birthday, LuxBite is implementing a no-gifts policy and instead spoiling their customers. On Tuesday December 6, they'll be offering 50 per cent off all purchases, all day or until they sell out. On the same day, a brand new breakfast menu will be introduced, leaving all the decisions to you. From a long list of choices, you can pick and mix proteins, vegies, sauces, essential carbs and sweets (perhaps not all at once) to create the ideal breakfast. Each item is $2.50, so breakfast no longer has to break the bank.

I wasn't going to do the Writer's Workshop today because I have a lot going on at work but then decided I to do it anyway. It's the only thing that I've been able to do with some regularity.
The options this week were sort of difficult. I wasn't sure what one to pick or how to go about writing about one of them. I thought about them a while and finally settled on a childhood fear that I've taken into my adult life.
So, how is fear defined? Dictionary.com describes it as a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.
A fear can be anything and sometimes so real that it can be debilitating to a person. To children, something they fear can be so strong they actually think it's real.
When I was a child, probably 8 years old or younger I had a dream that to this day (almost 30 yrs later) I remember vividly. It was so real to me and to this day I hold that fear.
It was a dark, gloomy day like just before a bad storm hits. There were dark clouds in the sky, but the wind was calm as I walked down the driveway towards the mail box. I don't know why I was going out to get the mail since it was something that I didn't normally do.
The next scene of my dream was me standing at the mailbox and the little boy who lived across the street was there with me and a little girl, a friend I assume. We talked for a bit and I was afraid, but I can't remember why or of what.
I finally opened the mailbox and as I opened it I fell into the earth. It was a huge hole and I just fell, and fell, and fell. Fast. Like a free fall.
To this day I do not like free falling rides and even sometimes roller coasters that go down at a steep angle bother me. They scare the living hell out of me. I hate the feeling of falling as we go down a hill on the roller coaster as your body is lifted off the seat. I hold on as tight as I can and keep my eyes closed even tighter. There are those who love the rush and will do it again and again. Not me.
It's possible that it's totally an irrational fear or maybe not. But for me it's none the less a fear. One based on a childhood dream and one that I can't seem to let go.


How to speed up sales in a slow economy? Here are ten ways to do it.
Sure the economy is slow, right now. But if there's one thing that is sure about the economy at any time, it's that it's not going to stay the same. It's going to grow like crazy at times, and other times, like right now, it's going to slow right down to a crawl.
The question is not about what the economy is doing, but what are you doing to make sure your business keeps on making sales no matter what the economy is doing? Are you going to crawl in tears and frustration with the economy, or are you going to rise up and forge ahead, being part of the solution, rather than another sad statistic?

Running into history Generali Cologne Marathon
01 July 2016, 7am
Distance Running 2016 Edition 3 > Running into history > With open hand
With open hand
The Rheinenergiemarathon Cologne made history even in its very first edition back in 1997 with a world record: the first time more than 13,000 registered runners took part in a marathon premiere. An additional 1000 inline skaters also glided their way through the streets of the city.
When planning the marathon the organising team put special emphasis on two things: firstly to showcase the city's breath-taking facets and secondly to project the open-mindedness and tolerance of the Rhenish city. To fulfil the first ambition runners were led on an exciting course through numerous famous city districts, which together depicted broad cultural diversity and astonishing scenery, right up to the finish line in front of Cologne's famous Cathedral. The second purpose was symbolised by carving a course on the map of the city which resembled the open hand of friendship.
With more than a million citizens Cologne is Germany's fourth largest metropolis. It can look back on 2000 years of history starting with the Romans in about AD 50. As a religious and trade city located on the River Rhine Cologne has played a crucial role during past centuries which can be seen in the expansion of the city. Many churches as well as the Old Town of Cologne bear witness to this history but many fell victim to bombing during the Second World War.
Cologne's marathon may have made a later debut than most but it was hailed by the running community. A lot of national and international athletes hit the road in Cologne for the first edition on 5 October 1997 won in 2:11:58 by Olympic bronze medal winner from Barcelona 1992 Stephan Freigang — outpacing Kenyan Benson Lorkowa (2:13:25). Angelina Kanana won the women's race in 2:27:27 and finished over seven minutes clear of Poland's Krystina Kuta. Her time from this first race stood as the course record for 15 years.
The following year another German runner won: Carsten Eich, who competed at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, finished just seconds ahead of Benson Lorkowa in 2:10:55. In doing so he improved Freigang's inaugural course record by more than a minute. Poland's Magdalena Sobanska won the women's race in 2:29:39. In this race 2700 inline skaters took part and there were 11 athletes in wheelchairs.
In 1999 a marathon relay for schoolchildren was added to the events on offer: 273 students in 39 teams ran the marathon distance as an Ekiden relay.
The number of runners gradually increased over the years, reaching 18,000 in the 2003 race. Inline skaters were part of the marathon programme until 2014 and their participation peaked in 2002 with 5365 participants.
Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the RheinEnergieMarathon Cologne in 2006 the half marathon distance was added to the portfolio of running events and has since then developed into Germany's second largest with more than 10,000 starters.
The winners that year were Pascal Meissner in 1:11:43 and Irina Mikintenko in 1:10:59. Mikitenko was Germany's best female marathon runner for several years. Born in Kazakhstan she won the London Marathon in 2008 and 2009, and the Berlin Marathon in 2008. She is the only German female to have broken the 2:20 barrier and won the "World Marathon Majors" Series in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.
In more recent times Kenyan runners have conclusively come to the fore in Cologne. Alfred Kering set the current course record with his 2012 winning time of 2:07:37. Helena Kirop's win that same year in 2:25:34 finally broke Kanana's inaugural mark. These times show that the RheinEnergieMarathon Cologne is not only a beautiful and interesting course but also a fast one.
With a full range of events on offer runners do not have to run a complete marathon to enjoy Cologne's special atmosphere. The relay was initially a mass 'fun' event but has developed into a more serious competition with a course record of 2:30:00. Up to 600 teams cross the starting line each year.
The last 10 years of the RheinEnergieMarathon Cologne have been characterised by numerous course changes because of construction and this was also why the finish line had to be moved from Cologne Cathedral. For many years it has been in Cologne-Deutz which is from where all the various races start. But in 2013 the finish line could finally be moved back to nearby the internationally-renowned landmark of Cologne Cathedral. The famous sight with its gothic architecture stands 157m high — the second largest cathedral in Europe (after the Ulmer Münster) and the third largest in the world. The Cathedral was started in the thirteenth century but construction paused for several hundred years and it was only completed in the nineteenth century.
Returning the finish line close to the jaw-dropping sight of the Cathedral gives the runners a very special finishing Moment that they will never forget. The recent course and its old-cum-new finish line represents the city very well and displays the diversity of its cultures and people. The RheinEnergieMarathon Cologne offers an extraordinary experience for every runner who comes to participate.
On 2 October this year the RheinEnergieMarathon Cologne celebrates its 20th anniversary. Professional and amateur runners, "Rhenanian cheerfulness" and top athletes' ambitions, carnival costumes and high-tech clothing will all mix up together and merge into a great birthday party after the race.

Design for Studies 1 and 2: The efficacy of Dysport was evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group, single-dose studies with a 12-week follow-up in patients with cervical dystonia (Dysport, n=121; placebo, n=131). Patients could switch to open-label extension studies after Week 4. Dysport 500 Units was given by intramuscular injection, divided among 2 to 4 affected muscles. The primary efficacy endpoint was based on the total TWSTRS change from baseline at Week 4 for both studies. TWSTRS total score (maximum: 85 points) is composed of 3 subscales (Severity, Disability, and Pain). For Study 1, the mean TWSTRS total score at baseline was 46 for placebo and 44 for Dysport 500 Units. For Study 2, the mean TWSTRS total score at baseline was 46 for placebo and 45 for Dysport 500 Units.
