Seventh Anniversary of the Apology to Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants
Fifth Anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Archives
Alerted in my emails this morning that today, 10 November 2016, marks the fifth anniversary of the adoption by UNESCO of the Universal Declaration on Archives. It's drafting and adoption was an important step and congratulations to those in the ICA that worked so hard on making it happen.
The declaration has been a source of much inspiration for me, particularly in pondering what the following statement means for those who childhoods have been severely impacted upon by child welfare regimes, and have had to fight so hard to get their rights to access their records recognised.
Open access to archives enriches our knowledge of human society, promotes democracy, protects citizens' rights and enhances the quality of life.
So I have to say a little underwhelmed that signing up to a register is the only action that we are being asked to take to live up to this statement. To me it ups the ante. We can't get away with just saying 'archives are good'. We have to be asking ourselves much deeper and harder questions about whose needs they serve. Inspired here by the words of Anne Gilliland during keynotes on her September 2015 Australasian visit, to move beyond just being an infrastructure for information elites. As archivists we talk a lot about accountability, yet we seem to have very few mechanisms to hold our own frameworks, processes and systems to account.
And access is just not that simple. Whose rights do our systems privilege? Whose rights do they trample upon? Whose quality of life is enhanced? And whose are not?

USS Baron (DE-166) Areas With Asbestos Exposure
The USS Baron (DE-166) was a Cannon-class destroyer escort laid down on November 30, 1942, and launched on May 9, the following year. It was commissioned on July 5, 1943, under Lt. Comdr. D. McVicker's command with the hull number DE-166 and served in the U.S. Navy for 3 years until it was decommissioned on April 26, 1946. During its activity, the ship carried a complement of 216 men on board and had its main missions in New York, Hollandia, Truk, Satawan, Ponape, Saipan, Guam, the Marshalls, Maloelap, Wotje, and Jaluit. After decommissioning, the ship was transferred to Uruguay on May 3, 1952, where it was renamed ROU Uruguay (DE-1). As with most ships, exposure to asbestos on the USS Baron (DE-166) occurred due to the fact that the rooms in which sailors and other navy personnel worked were extremely poorly ventilated, so that the fibers from friable asbestos-containing materials regularly inspected and repaired could be easily inhaled. If you suffer from a disease caused by exposure to asbestos and you served aboard the USS Baron (DE-166), there is a possibility that your time in service is the reason for your illness.
Everyone who served on the USS Baron (DE-166) inhaled the asbestos fibers and is at risk for developing lung disease

Eileen Norah Calder
It is with deep sadness that we are informing you that Eileen Norah Calder (nee Bacon) passed away on May 3, 2018.
Eileen was born in Calgary on January 16, 1927, but spent most of her childhood and adolescence in Vancouver and the Yukon. She achieved a Bachelor of Home Economics Degree from the University of British Columbia and an Internship Degree in Food Management from the University of Washington in Seattle. She first worked as an Administrative Dietitian at Simpsons and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She married in 1954 and spent two years teaching Home Economics in London, England and then settled in Waterloo where she raised four sons: James (1958 - 2003), Terry (1960 - 1992), Bruce (1962) and Eric (1963) and served as Director of Nutrition and Food Services at KW Hospital from 1967 to 1990. She is survived by her husband Loren Calder, her sons Bruce and Eric, her brothers Denis and Terry Bacon and her daughters-in-law Laurie Arlein Calder and Ellen Murphy and her grandsons Nathaniel Calder (James), Tye and Keegan Calder (Eric).
Eileen was a gifted manager with very good mathematical skills. She managed food services for the students at one of the dining halls at UBC and did an outstanding job of feeding the athletes at the British Empire Games in 1954 where the Miracle Mile was run by Roger Bannister of England and John Landy of Australia. She received a prestigious award for managing a top-level meal services program at KW Hospital by Bernard and Associates of Montreal and she developed a cost analysis system for managing food service departments which was adopted across Canada.
Eileen was never idle. She constantly read about nutritional subjects to support her professional work. She loved fabrics and made most of her own clothes. She served on the executive committees of social services agencies like the KW Habilitation Services. She enjoyed travel, especially in Europe and Canada. She was a superb cook, and she loved to entertain family and friends at dinner parties.
She will be grievously missed by her family and friends for her wise council, practical skills and loving support.
Cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 12, 2018 at Parkminster United Church, 275 Erb Street East, Waterloo, Ontario. Visitation to take place at 1 p.m. followed by the service at 2 p.m. and a reception at 3 p.m.

Vintage Teams: New York Giants
You may now know them as the San Francisco Giants, but "The City by the Bay" didn't always have a professional baseball team. That's right – this winning club used to reside on the Eastern seaboard in New York. The Giants were one of the many teams that used to call the Big Apple home but ultimately left for new opportunities.
How did the team do before their move? Was there any Hall of Famers on its lineup? Here's what you need to know about the New York Giants, why they moved west, and who some of their most famous players were.
New York Giants 1911
Where Did They Come From? Where Did They Go?
Originally, the Giants weren't even that – they were the New York Gothams who played in the National League. Founded by John B. Day and Jim Mutrie in 1883, it wasn't until 1885 that the team became the Giants. This franchise once finished with 106 wins in 1904, opting out of the World Series because its ownership believed the American League was the equivalent to the minors. The Giants would agree to postseason rules the following year, win 105 games, and beat the Philadelphia Athletics 4-1.
Their logo alternated throughout the years in color, but the general look didn't change much. It featured the letters "N" and "Y" overlapping vertically, which helped to distinguish it from the New York Yankees. Their last logo, which ran from 1947 to 1957, is more reminiscent of the San Francisco Giants logo and even used black and orange colors.
It was a poor on-field product and financial woes that made it an economic necessity for the New York Giants to look elsewhere for a home. Their search brought them to the opposite coast, allowing the franchise to shine on its own as the Golden City's only professional baseball team. Fans of the now-San Francisco Giants have enjoyed the team's winning ways in recent years, having won three of the last seven World Series.
Who Were Their Stars?
Twelve-time All-Star Mel Ott, whose jersey was retired by the club, played his entire professional career as a member of the New York Giants. He spent his time between right field and third base when he wasn't knocking the ball out of the park. Ott sent over 500 balls the distance in his 22-year career, with his best year coming in 1942 when he finished third in MVP balloting. While he never won the award, he was in the top 20 in balloting in 13 of his 22 seasons.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BRYkHi0hl0D/?tagged=melott
Another lifetime player was Carl Hubbell, who played as a pitcher for the New York Giants. He pitched almost 3,600 innings and struck out nearly 1,700 batters. He boasted a win rate of over 62 percent, winning 253 of his 433 career starts. Hubbell was selected as an All-Star nine times and was among the top 10 in MVP balloting for five years – two of which he won!
Giants of the West
It must have been hard to watch the Giants pack up and head west, specifically if you knew the winning ways the club experienced in the past. However, now the citizens of San Francisco are more than happy with the club's decision to relocate. With a little sunshine and some smart player acquisitions, the once New York Giants turned into perennial pennant contenders once again as the San Francisco Giants.
If you're planning on heading to a game at AT&T Park this season, make sure you're outfitted with the latest Giants gear! Grab your black and orange from Fanatics.

Ash Bennison and Cian Luck Podcast On The Life Of Marine Ecologists
May 31, 2017 /in Blog, Marine Ecology /by Martin Wall
This episode of the That's What She Said Podcast features Ashley Bennison and Cian Luck, two marine ecologists from the Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy, Cork, Ireland.
Ash gained his MSc in Evolutionary Ecology at the University of Exeter and after working with Siberian Jays in Swedish Lapland, moved to UCC where he has been a researcher for the past 3 years and is currently studying for his PhD in seabird ecology.
Cian graduated from UCC in 2012 with a BSc in Zoology, and again in 2013 with an MSc by research. He has spent 18 months as a zoological field assistant with the British Antarctic Survey on Bird Island, South Georgia. We speak of the enchanting life of researchers on expeditions, the difference between grey seals + harbour seals, the sedate creatures who reside in the Galapagos, the stress of cooking for strangers and much much more. All in all, our self proclaimed 'bird nerds' take us on a flight so compelling that we wanted more.
The hour features music from Bjork, Fleetwood Mac and Stornaway.

MaREI Researchers Take Part In Sprint Programme
Gerry Sutton, MaREI Research Centre; Dr Anne Moore, UCC School of Pharmacy and Dr Michael O'Connor, MaREI Research Centre (All participants on the SPRINT Programme)
The Sprint accelerator programme at UCC's Gateway innovation hub is celebrating its second year with a new cohort of potential startups.
A new batch of 12 ideas are taking part in Sprint II, the accelerator programme at Gateway, the innovation hub of University College Cork.
The chosen participants are developing services for a number of industries and issues, including infant neurology, irritable bowel syndrome, renewable energy, data analytics and scientific instrumentation.
Established as a support programme for spin-out and researcher-led UCC start-ups seeking accommodation in the Gateway hub, Sprint's second coming was revealed on 5th May by Prof Patrick O'Shea, president of the university.
"Research in our technology centres and institutes is delivering valuable and novel solutions to many of the issues we face today," said Myriam Cronin, manager of Gateway UCC.
"Supporting innovators from idea generation to start-up, with a particular focus on commercialisation of research, has been key to the success of Gateway UCC, now recognised as a leading innovation and incubation centre nationally.
"Following the success of Sprint, we have adapted and grown the accelerator programme this year, and we are delighted to announce a second programme."
Since opening in 2011, Gateway UCC claims that the start-ups that have come through its hub – numbered in the 40s – now employ 250 people and contribute an estimated €15m in wages and €5m in tax to the local economy.
Calling it a "true example of the 'triple helix' at work", O'Shea lauded the coming together of academia, government and industry, before highlighting the effectiveness of Sprint by lauding last year's stand-out participant.
O'Shea presented the an award to medical device start-up Skellig Surgical, which focuses on the development of user-centred, minimally invasive technology. The company made news in January when its first commercial product – designed to manipulate organs that obscure and limit the ability to perform keyhole surgery – was licensed.
O'Shea also presented an award to Food Choice at Work, a start-up developing a management system for healthy eating in the workplace. Both companies are resident in Gateway UCC, employing 12 people between them.

LARRY MITCHELL HOPKINS FACING FEDERAL FIREARMS CHARGE IN NEW MEXICO
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE – Larry Mitchell Hopkins, who is also known as Johnny Horton, Jr., 69, of Flora Vista, N.M., has been charged in a criminal complaint with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition announced New Mexico U.S. Attorney John C. Anderson and Special Agent in Charge James C. Langenberg of the FBI's Albuquerque Division.
Hopkins was arrested on the morning of April 20, 2019, by the FBI in Sunland Park, N.M., with assistance from the Sunland Park Police Department. He made his initial appearance on the criminal complaint in federal court in Las Cruces, N.M., before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory B. Wormuth this morning.
According to the criminal complaint, Hopkins unlawfully possessed nine firearms and ammunition in his residence in San Juan County, N.M., in Nov. 2017. The complaint alleges that Hopkins was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he previously had been convicted of at least three felony offenses, including possessing a loaded firearm in the state of Michigan in 1996; being a felon in possession of a firearm in the state of Oregon in 2006; and impersonating a peace officer in the state of Oregon in 2006.
Hopkins remains in custody pending a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing, both of which are scheduled to be held at 9:30 a.m. on April 29, 2019, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen B. Molzen in the Rio Grande courtroom of the federal courthouse in Albuquerque.
If convicted on the charge in the criminal complaint, Hopkins faces a maximum statutory penalty of ten years of imprisonment. Charges in criminal complaints are merely accusations and defendants are presumed innocent unless found guilty in a count of law.
This case was investigated by the Farmington Resident Agency of the FBI with assistance from the Las Cruces Resident Agency of the FBI. The Sunland Park (N.M.) Police Department assisted in the arrest operation. Assistant U.S. Attorney George C. Kraehe is prosecuting the case.

Royal Palace is the residence for the "royal blood" and a great starting point. It will inspire you for discovering Stockholm. The next worthy site can be famous Skeppsholmen Island. This small piece of land lost among water used to be a military base but later evolved into a cultural center of Stockholm and Sweden.
This fantastic trip includes in its route all memorable buildings of Stockholm, from Royal Opera to Parliament House. This trip will be more convenient with a flexible and simple vehicle like Segway. A Segway trip is very exciting and gives you an opportunity to see all the things closer. We have ten interesting facts about Segway. Such a list will certainly convince you to choose the right option. And our facts will help you better understand why this Stockholm tour is so interesting and you will love it.
A Segway PT design consists of power batteries, two wheels and self-balance technology.
Dean Kamen from the USA is Segway inventor.
This innovative two-wheeled vehicle is designed and made by the Segway Inc. Situated in New Hampshire.
The word "Segue" acted as a root for that outstanding name Segway. "Segue" is a word meaning "smooth transporting". PT is simply an abbreviation for Personal Transportation.
The processors and the motors placed in the base of the machine makes the Segway upright when the power is turned on. Such a technology lets provide the balance of Segway.
The controls are super easy – lean forward to drive forward and lean the body back to move backwards, and that's it!
Having right balance, the Segway records the changes in the meters and then maintains a matching speed, regulated by leaning forward or backward.
Fluid-based leveling and gyroscopic sensors detect the weight shift.
And for starting in, one needs to press the handlebar to the left or right.
Electric motor lets achieve impressive speed up to 12.5 mph (20 kph).
A journey to Stockholm is a great opportunity to try Segway on practice. Segway is an eco-friendly vehicle which has such benefits like easiness, convenient speed and user friendly controls. But try not to forget to use a helmet and to follow all safety instructions to avoid unneeded risk.
There are only very few restrictions regarding Segway usage. A user must be above 12 years to get permission for such a journey and the weight must be less than 110 kg. If you do not meet these two requirements you will not be allowed for a Segway trip.

CHAPTER 12 — Conclusion
Previous Section | Table of Contents | Up | Next Section
Now that the tragic story of the battle is complete it may be useful to recapitulate some of the important points which, though implicit or explicit in the narrative, have perhaps been obscured by the length of the narrative or its detail. These can best be reviewed under the broad heads of preliminaries to battle, conduct of the battle, and consequences.
The main shortcomings of the situation that confronted General Freyberg from the first arose partly from the island's topography, partly from the inadequacy of the preparation and planning that had already taken place, and partly from the special circumstance that most of the force which was to do the fighting had just been evacuated from Greece.
The topography of the island has already been discussed and it will be enough here to repeat that Crete was 160 miles long by 40 miles deep and that its main road, its best harbours, its chief towns and its airfields all lay in the north, while the ports on the south coast and the roads communicating with them were few and undeveloped.
These facts permit the levelling of an important criticism against the policy of the first months of British occupation. The strategic value of the island had never been disputed and British troops had been landed there as early as October 1940. Why, in the six months between then and the beginning of the invasion, was not something done to develop the south coast ports and the roads to them and to construct less vulnerable airfields?
Part of this charge can be met only by a mea culpa. Middle East Command seems to have been to some extent bemused by the fact that Suda Bay and the Fleet's needs were the primary concern. And the consequence of this—that Suda Bay could not be held unless the island was held and that a defence policy for the whole island was needed—seems never to have been fairly and squarely grasped. Had it been, a careful appreciation would surely have been made and a single, energetic commander with the status and experience that would ensure a hearing, with a definite role and page 457 with the men and means to carry it through, would have been appointed.
These essential conditions were never present. Yet, having admitted so much, we should remember also the very heavy bur- ens General Wavell had to bear at this time: he was overworked and had to assist him a staff still not sufficiently experienced or decentralised, he was harassed by operations of the most urgent character which pressed behind one another without interval, he was constantly preoccupied with the problems of active battle areas, of administration, of supply and of Middle East politics. It is perhaps too much to expect him to have had the prescience to foresee that the quiet island of the 1940 autumn was to be the theatre of such dramatic events in the following May.
Even had the prescience been there and even if the appreciation had been made, it is doubtful whether really effective measures could have been taken to reverse the chief disadvantage of the defence— its vulnerability to attack from the north. To have done so would have meant enlarging the south coast ports, building new roads and airfields, and shifting the administrative and supply centre south from the front line which the north coast, in the event of invasion, must certainly become. Commitments in the Western Desert, in Greece, and in the other active areas of the Middle East meant that there was a complete insufficiency of engineers, material and transport.1 Labour could not be recruited in Crete itself because the able-bodied men had been mobilised, and to use the old men and boys who were left would have required transport, communications, and staff that were not to be spared. And the shipping was lacking also, especially once the expedition to Greece had been decided on.
The same defence can be made in principle against criticisms about the strength of the garrison in units and armament. The earlier part of this history should have made it clear that Wavell found it difficult to spare the units he did send. Anti-aircraft weapons, tanks and guns were all woefully short: for the armaments programme was still not yet in full production, losses in France had still to be made good, and there were all the demands on inadequate resources of which the first volumes of Mr. Churchill's history give so vivid a picture. There was shortage everywhere; but in the vast areas under Wavell's command the needs were all the more desperate because he was far from the sources of supply and yet was seldom without a campaign either on his hands or
1 Of the engineers who had been sent to Crete, many had to be taken off again and sent to Greece for the operations there. The above arguments are substantially those put by General Wavell to the War Office in a memorandum of 19 Aug 1941 in reply to criticisms made by an Interservices Committee.
page 458 imminent. And in the six months before the battle of Crete the shortage was at its height.
It is against this background also that the difficulties of the seven successive commanders in Crete should be considered. They were without a clear directive and without effective forces. When it at last became clear that the hour was not far off, the conditions of shortage were as stringent as ever; and a shortage of time had been added. And now that it was too late another serious oversight was apparent: no plan had ever been laid down for action in the case where the Greek mainland was in German hands.
Once that had happened Wavell must have seen as clearly as General Freyberg that the difficulties of holding Crete in such conditions were most formidable. He must have seen that a force large enough to hold off invasion could hardly be supplied from the northern ports—so inadequate in themselves and so exposed to air attack—without an air force strong enough to match the Luftwaffe as the RAF had matched it over Britain after Dunkirk. Yet not only were the aircraft lacking; there were not enough airfields from which to operate them successfully. For such airfields as there were had been developed with an eye to the assistance of the Greek campaign, not to the defence of Crete itself. So they were too few, too exposed and far to the north, too undeveloped, and too easily saturated by enemy air attack.
The warning was sounded plainly enough in General Wilson's appreciation of 28 April: the sea approach was easy and probable in conjunction with air attack; the minimum defence force must be three brigade groups, each of four battalions, and a motor battalion, as well as MNBDO for Suda Bay; all should have field artillery and anti-tank guns; air protection would be necessary; and there would have to be the usual signals complement and a wireless company. 'Finally, I consider that unless all three services are prepared to face the strain of maintaining adequate forces up to strength, the holding of the island is a dangerous commitment, and a decision on this matter must be taken at once.'1
But it was now too late. A large part of the force evacuated from Greece had been landed in Crete. To evacuate them and the original garrison was hardly possible. Shipping and time were too short. The island would have to be defended.
1 05/4107/2, Crete, GHQ Plans and Meetings, 28 Apr 1941.
Such was the train of events that led to the defence of Crete. In England the island's importance was realised but the detailed circumstances seem never to have been closely studied. In the page 459 Middle East its importance was acknowledged, but emergency pressed on emergency until Crete found itself with a garrison which owed its composition more to accident than design, with a plan that no longer fitted the strategic circumstances, and with troops who were to fight because they were there and not there because they must fight.
There was no time now to remedy radically the faults of the defensive layout, even had there been men, materials and shipping. All that could be done was to accept the fact that defence in depth could never be more than local and devise a front line which would protect supply areas as far as possible and would consist of a series of nodal points, each ready and able to fight for some time in isolation if the need arose.
Given the basic and by now unavoidable weaknesses the defence plan was, generally speaking, both simple and sound. The airfields had to be defended, the ports, the important heights, and the coast wherever it was most threatened. The main features of the plan need not again be recounted and it may suffice to recapitulate the weaknesses: the fact that the area between Kastelli and Maleme through lack of men and time was virtually undefended; the stringing out of 5 Brigade along the coast so as to guard against invasion; the lack of a strong, well-knit and mobile counter-attack force which would have no other task; the isolation of Heraklion and Retimo; and the distance between the various headquarters probably inevitable in itself but, where communications were exceptionally weak and a battle developing fast, a grave handicap to swiftness in decision and accuracy of judgment.
A particular case may be touched on, because the most important in the upshot: the distance between 5 Brigade HQ and Maleme. The narrative has shown how unfortunate were the consequences of this in the first two days of the battle. Yet Brigadier Hargest, were he alive to do so, could allege good reasons. If the sea invasion had got a footing his central position on the coast would have been an advantage; if the airfield had not been taken and the battle had developed by a thrust round the south flank of 22 and 21 Battalions and so up to the coast, or by a break north from the Alikianou Plain, he would have again been in a better situation to adapt himself to meet events. The Interservices Report does indeed suggest that it might have been wiser to concentrate a self-contained force in each sector. But this ignores the threat to the coastline in Hargest's special case and would still not have answered. For central control would have been more than ever difficult. The units were not mobile, a build-up against each sector would have page 460 been possible and would probably have ended in one or another sector being cut off with little chance of support from the others.
It seems clear that, given the disabilities which there was no means of evading, the original dispositions were sound. And the military intelligence which prompted or confirmed them did good service.
After what has gone before the woeful deficiencies in weapons and equipment scarcely need underlining. The same factors which had hampered the defence preparations in the earlier months plagued General Freyberg from the first: shortage of staff, heavy weapons, specialised equipment, transport, supplies and shipping. And the last of these shortages was intensified now by the fact that the Luftwaffe overhung the coast in watchful droves.
One shortage above all was conspicuous to the defenders, that of aircraft. The Interservices Report suggests that at least six fighter squadrons were needed. Wavell replies that they were not to be found. Even had six squadrons been available it is doubtful whether they would have been enough. Yet these six alone would have required an oil tanker a fortnight for maintenance. Such a service could hardly have been provided at that time; and would not have gone unscathed even had it been forthcoming.
By paradox, therefore, Freyberg was right to evacuate the last few fighters. But should not the airfields have been rendered unusable to the enemy? The enemy could still have crash-landed enough troops on the beaches to the west of Maleme to have seized its airfield and perhaps restored it. None the less his task would not have been easy and the effort to put the airfield out of action— difficult at any time and especially when engineers and engineer stores were so scanty—ought probably to have been made.
It does not follow that Freyberg must be held responsible for the omission. According to him the Chiefs of Staff wanted the airfields left intact against a time when they should be able to send aircraft which could use them. General Freyberg, against his judgment, had to comply. The explanation is consistent with the optimism which existed in quarters remote from the scene and is likely enough, though confirmatory evidence from London sources is not yet forthcoming.
With such qualifications as these observations entail, the historian can conclude that the preliminary measures taken on the island in May were reasonable in their character and as effective as could fairly be expected. Few enemy landed without men to oppose them. The men had weapons, knew what to expect, were in good heart, and fought magnificently.
In contrast at almost all points with the situation of the defence was that of the enemy. True, his plans were laid relatively late— though from the first the Germans had seen the importance of Crete and had tried to persuade the Italians to seize the island. The inertia of the Italians prevented these persuasions from being effective and the Germans had perforce to wait till Greece was practically overrun. But, the decision to invade Crete once taken, they had much in their favour. The only straitening circumstance was that the attack on Russia had high priority and must not be delayed. That condition had little effect on the battle of Crete except to quicken the tempo of its planning and compel the use of 5 Mountain Division instead of 22 Airborne Division which had been specially trained for such actions. Enough troops and ample air forces were available—the troops of the highest quality and the aircraft in such numbers as to have complete control of the sky. Heavy weapons must be lacking till the means could be found to get them across. But since the troops had a very high proportion of automatic weapons and since their aircraft could act as mobile artillery, this was not so serious a disadvantage as it might have been if the defence were not from the first as badly off.
The fault, in so far as there was a fault, lay with the enemy's intelligence and planning. He overestimated the sympathy of Crete's civil population, he underestimated the strength and sturdiness of the garrison. Worse still, he failed to locate its concentrations and, while full credit must be given to the excellent camouflage of the defenders, it may be added for the sake of the irony that it was the enemy's very strength in the air that was to help throw out his appreciation. For with strafing aircraft never far off, the defence was careful never to expose itself to observation by day.
Even allowing for these wrong estimates on the enemy's part, however, his plan of attack can hardly avoid disparagement. For it should surely have been assumed that the points which he most wanted to seize were those most likely to be defended. Yet he chose to land his striking force directly on top of them and thus lost his finest troops on a scale which would not have been necessary had he chosen areas farther away from the airfields. Thus had he concentrated the whole of Group West in the territory west of Maleme, they could have landed and organised without opposition and could still have been able to launch a formidable assault on the airfield during the first day.
Again, he chose to try and bring across under feeble convoy his two invasion flotillas by night. So complete was his control of the page 462 sky that he could have brought them across by day under an umbrella of aircraft, and Cunningham's ships would have been unable to interfere or at least unable to survive the attempt to do so. And the flotillas could have been beached west of Maleme without opposition; or, even if they had had to try and force a landing east of Maleme, they would at least have given the coast defences a sore trial. Instead the enemy elected to take his chance of dodging in the darkness a Fleet which the same darkness permitted to operate with all its usual fell efficiency.
Yet, it will be said, for all the defects in the German plan, it was successful. True, but successful only in its main objective and by a far narrower margin than circumstances really made necessary. If it be remembered that all plans aim to be successful with the minimum of time and loss, and that a plan under which Canea fell on 27 May and not on 20 May and only after losses in the neighbourhood of 7000 killed and wounded, it will be recognised that the success was too dearly paid for to be spoken of without serious qualification.
The question remains. Need it have been successful at all, given the conditions under which the battle opened? Supposing the enemy had failed at Maleme, would not the whole invasion have collapsed? The answer is doubtful. This was a time and a stage of the war when Hitler had had no practice in acknowledging failure and when prestige was one of his best weapons. Had his commanders decided on the evening of 20 May that Maleme was a failure, they might still have switched their effort to Heraklion or Retimo and devoted to reinforcement there the resources that were to go in the event to Maleme.
It is doubtful none the less. He might equally well have felt that with the losses already sustained in men and aircraft, with the chance of an immediate coup gone and with the invasion of Russia forbidding any delay, it was better to accept the rebuff and concentrate on making Crete untenable by using aircraft to cut the shipping route—as he might well have done. So the question recurs in narrower form. Need Maleme have fallen?
It may be said at the outset that Britain deserved to lose it. However justifiable in detail the reasons for pitting an ill-equipped, ill-armed and ill-organised force, without aircraft and without adequate preparation, against a highly trained and equipped force which had all the aircraft it needed and the initiative as well, the page 463 side that accepts battle at such disadvantage must attribute more to fortune than to merit if it holds what it set out to hold or gets what it set out to get.
Yet, for all this, the case may be made that Crete could have been held. Had 22 Battalion not fallen back on the night of 20 May, it can be said, had counter-attack come on 21 May or earlier on the night of 21 May, the enemy might have been driven off the airfield and the defence reorganised.
The reply must stand on the facts as they were known at the time; and the details have already been discussed. Given the circumstances at every vital stage, different courses from those actually taken have the strength and the weakness of hypotheses. They might have succeeded and it cannot be proved that they would have failed; but, on the other hand, it cannot be proved that they would have succeeded either. And in fact it is probable that things took the course they had to take. Each decision taken was the consequence of the concrete conditions of the battle: lack of artillery, lack of aircraft, and—perhaps most of all—lack of communications. These conditions determined the decisions of local commanders.
Thus at each crisis of the battle each commander could defend the decision he took in the light of what he knew at the time; and that is basically a stronger position than that of us who criticise the decisions in the light of what we know now and support other possible courses of action in the light of what we shall never know.
This is not to deny that criticism is possible. It is to suggest the background against which the critic must scrutinise his own criticism; and to remind speculation that the criticisms made or implied in the course of this narrative are always subject to similar reservations. And, lest the historian seem unwilling to commit himself, he may be permitted to say that, given all the disadvantages against which the commanders had to struggle, he does not doubt that mistakes were made but does not think they were more numerous or more culpable than the mistakes made, say, at Alamein. Only the odds were greater and mistakes correspondingly more dangerous.
One thing at least can be said roundly, in a field where little is certain. Soldiers never fought better than they fought on Crete; and not least among them the soldiers of the New Zealand Division. No blame for the loss of the island can fall on the rank and file. Nor should this be taken as implying discredit to commanders. No men ever held positions of responsibility in page 464 conditions more inimical to success than did the senior officers in Crete; and no men ever discharged their responsibilities more devotedly.
Crete, then, fell. The focus of the war shifted elsewhere. The loss of the island and the loss of so many good men was a serious blow. Prestige was hurt when a success was badly needed. And the enemy won a position from which he could threaten the British forces at every point in North Africa and the Levant, and from which he could virtually bar a passage to the Eastern Mediterranean to our convoys.
Against this it is mere speculation to set any delay to the opening of the campaign against Russia; and even should it be proved such a delay was caused by the battle, credit could be claimed only doubtfully since delay to the invasion of Russia was not a motive for the defence of Crete. It is better simply to consider the facts: after Crete the enemy concentrated on attacking Egypt from the Western Desert. Student had argued that from Crete the Germans could go on to seize Cyprus and ultimately Suez. There is no evidence that Hitler was ever persuaded of the need to go further than Crete; and his general treatment of the North African front does not suggest that he ever discerned its true importance. But, in the words of General Student, 'Crete was the grave of the German parachutist'; and the victory of our defeat was that never again, against Cyprus or elsewhere, were the parachutists launched from the air en masse to gain victory at the cost of crippling losses.

Here's a great film of our work with the 2nd year Foundation Degree students at The National Centre for Circus Arts to create an ensemble work called IMPULSE. It was performed from 28 June - 1 July at The NCCA in Shoreditch.
As a starting place they took the Dostoevsky quote "Right or wrong it's very pleasant to break something from time to time" and have created a show about compulsion, friendship and change.

Dhanush to do it for Hansika!
Hansika Motwani who celebrated her 27th birthday on Friday will be teaming up with director Jamal for her 50th film. Jamal worked as an assistant for director Lakshaman who directed Bogan, and Romeo Juliet. Notably, both the movies had Hansika as the lady lead. Ghibran is said to be the music director of the movie.
The title of Hansika's 50th movie was initially scheduled to be revealed on her birthday. The announcement was canceled due to the demise of DMK chief Dr. Karunanidhi on Tuesday.
And now the team has announced that the stalwart Dhanush will announce the title of Hansika's landmark movie on Saturday (11.08.2018). Notably, It is a great option as Dhanush was the co-star when Hansika debuted in Tamil in the movie Mappillai. The team has also planned to reveal other important details of the movie.
Hansika has Atharvaa's 100 and Thuppaki Munai in the line-up.

Struggling for their lives
Orlando Sepúlveda reports from Chicago on a struggle led by immigrants whose loved ones are being denied a place on transplant lists at local hospitals.
IMMIGRANT RIGHTS activists in Chicago held a memorial march, followed by a daylong occupation outside Northwestern Memorial Hospital following the death of Sarai Rodriguez, a 25-year-old undocumented woman who was in critical need of a liver transplant, but had been denied by the hospital last March, according to her mother, because she was uninsured and couldn't afford the procedure.
Rodriguez's death was a terrible reminder of the high stakes in an ongoing struggle against the inhumane and discriminatory practices of the health care industry in Chicago.
On July 29, 14 people began a hunger strike at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Anglican Catholic Church in Little Village, a predominantly Latino neighborhood in Chicago, to call attention to the fact that Chicago hospitals have refused to put them or their loved ones on the organ transplant list, because they don't have insurance or immigration documents. Among the hospitals activists are pressuring are Northwestern, University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center, Rush University Medical Center and Advocate Christ Medical Center.
Some of the hunger strikers at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Anglican Catholic Church (Orlando Sepúlveda | SW)
The hunger strikers ended their fast, declaring victory after representatives of Northwestern and Advocate Christ met with the group and promised that undocumented patients would not be disqualified from organ transplants because of their immigration status. However, the hospitals still insist that they must take into account insurance status and ability to pay before scheduling procedures.
The unnecessary death of a 25-year-old woman was stark evidence that the struggle is not over by any means. Father José Landaverde, an organizer of the hunger strike and pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, said Northwestern is responsible for Rodriguez's death. "We know the hospitals have started negotiations," he said, "but so far all we have is vague promises, nothing in writing, no guarantees, no policy changes. Meanwhile, our people are dying. Hospital administrators and politicians bury us in false promises and bureaucracy, and they expect us to die quietly."
CARMEN GARCÍA was one of the hunger strikers. She was fasting for her son, who needs a kidney transplant. "Even when my son gets very sick, the hospitals refuse to treat him, and they send him home," she said. "My son has no medical insurance, no social worker, no doctor. The dialysis is the only thing he has."
Oliva Baca, the mother of one of the patients on hunger strike, put the political issues in no uncertain terms. "How can they value a piece of paper over the life of my daughter?" she asked. "For the sake of a piece of paper, they're going to let many people die, because it's not just my daughter. There are many sick people who are undocumented." Her daughter Blanca added: "It's unjust that they're letting us die for lack of papers."
Like Carmen García's son, Blanca Gómez also needs a kidney transplant. "They don't want to treat us because we don't have immigration documents," said the 23 year old. "I want to live for my daughter; she's two years old. I want a second chance at life."
Blanca applied for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an intiative ordered by Barack Obama after young DREAM activists put pressure on the government to act. The program grants a degree of regularization to the immigration status of children brought to the U.S. with their parents when they were very young.
But Blanca doesn't see much of a future in her situation, even if Congress acts on the proposal for immigration legislation now under consideration. "I don't know if they will pass immigration reform," she says, "or if it's going to include the issue of health care, because in the process of deferred action, they didn't include it." She adds: "If there is a legalization, I hope it's not only about allowing people to work, but rather gives everyone the full rights of citizens. My social security number is marked and it says that it's only good for work."
In fact, in the "bipartisan" Senate immigration proposal, known as S. 744, denies basic social services to immigrants who attempt to follow the twisted "path to citizenship" that would be put in place--on the condition of sharply increased border control measures. This is one of the concessions Democrats made to Republicans and the racists of the far right--a pattern familiar from Obama's health care law, which likewise doesn't permit non-citizens to obtain subsidies for purchasing health insurance.
WITH OR without immigration reform, conditions for the families participating in the struggle in Chicago will be equally hard.
María Garnica participated in the hunger strike on behalf of her husband, who suffers from kidney failure. She lives in Grand Rapids, Mich., with her six children while her husband works and gets his dialysis in Chicago. "It's not fair that my children don't get to be with their father due to lack of medical attention," she said. "They say that the United States is fighting for human rights, so what about the right of all the ill and those who need medical help?"
As for Blanca, her family is enduring another crisis. Her aunt, Rosa Gómez, described how another of her nieces, 21-year-old Alexis Gómez, "got a kidney transplant four years ago, but now her body is rejecting it, and we aren't sure what to do because when my niece got her transplant, she was a minor and was covered by the children's medical card of the state of Illinois. But now that she's an adult, we don't know what's going to happen. And in my family, there are donors--for Alexis and for Blanca."
The families have tried contacting the media and knocked on many doors to get help. María Gálvez, on hunger strike for her son Gustavo Gálvez, said the families have been "doing fund drives, dances and dinners to collect the money our son needs, but it's not enough. They asked for a quarter of a million dollars up front to do a transplant."
After the hunger strike was launched at the end of July, activists worked on building pressure on the hospitals.
On July 31, after marching from Little Village--with the chant "Health care is a human right, not just for the rich and white!" ringing out--hunger strikers and their supporters arrived at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center to demand that the institution explain to the community why it is refusing to treat undocumented patients. A few days later, the action moved to Northwestern, and Advocate Christ after that.
These protests got representatives of the hospitals to meet with the protesters, but the struggle will have to go on. According to Father Landaverde:
In the last three years, we've received many people at our church who need help with health care problems. Last year, we had a 21-day strike, after which we reached an agreement with some hospitals that they would treat our people, including those who didn't have immigration documents, but now they're breaking that agreement.
One hospital even dared to offer us help so that one patient would deport herself back to Mexico. This is a sin. They can't put money ahead of the lives of people. What we need is a fundamental change in what health care is in the United States, because these people who need transplants do not qualify for Obamacare.

Resolve Uganda began as the Uganda Conflict Action Network (also referred to as Uganda-CAN) and was an online monitoring and analysis project seeking to raise awareness of the suffering caused by the Lord's Resistance Army insurgency of northern Uganda. The campaign began in 2005. In early 2007, Uganda-CAN became Resolve Uganda, a full-scale organization aimed at securing the US leadership needed to end the war through grassroots efforts and lobbying initiatives.

History
Two University of Notre Dame students traveling abroad in Uganda formed the Uganda Conflict Action Network in 2005. While overseas, Peter Quaranto and Michael Poffenberger became aware of the 19-year-long warfare atrocities caused by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). This hidden war left thousands of people dead, over 25,000 children abducted, and roughly 1.6 million people in camps of horrific conditions.

Inspired by the suffering of the oppressed Ugandans, they worked together to create Uganda-CAN upon their return to the states. Quaranto and Poffenberger recognized the influence that Americans could have on the Ugandan government to bring a peaceful resolution to the war. The Africa Faith and Justice Network, based in Washington, sponsored the organization. The purpose was to educate policymakers about what was taking place, with the hope that increased awareness amongst political leaders would lead to the action necessary to end the crisis. Uganda-CAN advocated peace and the renewal of the Great Lakes region of Africa, while stressing the importance of a government that answers to the needs of its most vulnerable citizens. The staff and volunteers of Uganda-CAN have worked to form partnerships in Congress and with other African related organizations in Washington as well as Ugandan organizations.

Evolution
Uganda-CAN originally provided information about the LRA crisis and recommendations on how to solve it in hopes that political leaders would take action. The founders quickly realize that would not be enough.
Because of competing priorities and no organized mobilization of citizens, few elected leaders were motivated or felt they had a public mandate to help end a violent conflict affecting remote communities in Africa.

Making a change would take using the knowledge gained on the crisis to create nationwide awareness and advocacy campaigns. Resolve Uganda took the place of Uganda-CAN in 2006 in hopes to. When the LRA attacked the neighboring border regions of South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Central African Republic, the organization opted to become known simply as Resolve in 2010. Resolve now works towards advancing policy change, forming partnerships with organizations such as Invisible Children, Human Rights Watch, and Refugees International.

Phallus indusiatus Vent.

Tan Kok Kiat (2017, January). Phallus indusiatus Vent.. Malaysia Biodiversity Information System (MyBIS). Retrieved January 22, 2020, from https://www.mybis.gov.my/art/157.
Phallus indusiatus, commonly known as bamboo fungus, bridal veil fungus, veiled lady or Long Net Stinkhorn (Dash et al., 2010), was initially named by Etienne Pierre Ventenat, a French naturalist in 1798. In 1809, Desvaux placed it in a new genus Dictyophora. It has since been reclassified under its original name, that is, Phallus indusiatus Vent. This fungus belongs to the family Phallaceae, more commonly known as the stinkhorns of which there are five genera and nine species in Malaysia (Lee et al., 2012).
In India, Phallus indusiatus was reported to grow best at temperatures of between 21 degree Celcius to 25 degree Celcius in moist bamboo thickets at 300 - 600 m a.s.l. with 45 - 85% relative humidity (Dash et al., 2010). This fungus can be found in tropical areas, which include Mexico, South America, Malaysia, Australia, southern China, Hong Kong and Japan (Dash et al., 2010). This species also occurs on sandy soil, plant debris and rich substrates in general (Baseia et al., 2006). It is easy to identify due to the presence of a well-developed indusium, white pseudostipe and volva. The indusium is a net-like structure with polyhedral or round links and is pale yellowish-white in colour. The cap is covered with a greenish-brown slime termed as "gleba". The cup-shaped volva at the base of the pseudostipe is white and thick. The life cycle of this fungus is around 15 - 30 days. The mature fruiting body emits a sharp, sickly-sweet odour of carrion to attract bees and flies. The insects feed on the slimy gleba which contains the spores and eventually deposit their waste matter somewhere else thereby disseminating the spores.
Phallus indusiatus is widespread across tropical areas and has yet to be assessed by the IUCN. In some parts of China people eat the fungus as part of their diet (Dash et al., 2010). Due to their anti-oxidative and nutritional bioactivity properties, the ancient Chinese have been using this fungus to treat many inflammatory, gastric and neural diseases since 618 AD (Ker et al., 2011).

Q: How create Surface from memory? [SDL] I found interesting function https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_RWFromMem
How I can using it? I need simple program. Read image from disc, creating in memory Surface, and storing it in file.
Next I can read it from file and create Texture.

A: If you use SDL_Image, the function IMG_Load() already returns you a SDL_Surface * which is ready to use.
Edit: if you want to read from memory instead than reading from a file, use SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom().
Then, use SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface() to bind the surface to a texture.

Showing Up for Racial Justice
by Jennifer Griffith, SURJ
In the mid-century struggle for civil rights, white anti-racist activist Anne Braden worked in alliance with African American leaders and later expressed that "the battle is and always has been a battle for the hearts and mind of white people in this country. The fight against racism is not something we're called on to help people of color with. We need to become involved as if our lives depended on it because, in truth, they do." In the past two years, we have collectively witnessed painful reminders that we do not live in a post-racial society. Today, as we experience a resurgence in activism against racism on a structural and individual level, white people are called to join these critical efforts again.
Alicia Garza, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, asserts: "We need you defecting from White supremacy and changing the narrative of White supremacy by breaking White silence."
With this call to action in mind, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), "a national network of groups and individuals organizing White people for racial justice," will be holding its first planning meeting for the New Haven-area affiliate. This meeting will bring together local organizers, activists, educators, and concerned people who want to get involved in a larger community with racial justice as its primary goal. SURJ prioritizes ongoing relationships with local and national People of Color (PoC) activist groups focusing on police brutality, workers' rights, and other racial justice issues. To maintain accountability, stay informed, and plan aligning efforts, the first meeting will identify current and potential connections within the local activist community. While promoting accountability, SURJ also strives to "call in, not call out" and to offer support to people at different experience levels.
In addition to the New Haven-area group, CT SURJ will also have a Hartford-based group, which is currently planning a film screening and a door-knocking campaign in the fall. For more information about SURJ in general, go to http://www.showingupforracialjustice.org.
For questions about the upcoming meeting and the New Haven-area affiliate, contact Jennifer Griffiths, jennifergriffiths68@gmail.com. For Hartford-area inquiries contact Cathy Rion Starr, crionstarr@uuma.org.

Q: jboss-eap-6 HA singleton deploying multiple web archives in standalone configuration I am able to deploy my ear and wars in my standalone cluster. 2 of my wars are for the HA singleton. Soon after starting the first standalone jboss-eap-6, I start the second. When all my applications have deployed successfully I open J-Console, I notice that one of my singleton war is running on the first jboss-eap-6 and the second singleton war is running on the second jboss-eap-6. Also in Jconsole, there was only 1 jboss-eap-6 reporting as primary.
My question is: Is there some way in jboss-eap-6 standalone.xml I can force only 1 jboss-eap-6 to run the singleton HA wars. Or would I have to package the wars into an ear?

A: I don't think there is anything in standalone.xml that would change the behaviour of a war. In any case you should be using standalone-ha.xml for a cluster with HA singletons deployed.
The JBoss High Availability Singleton architecture changed significantly between JBoss EAP 5 and 6.
Under JBoss EAP 5 you just placed your deployable object in a deploy-hasingleton special deployment folder.  Under JBoss EAP 6 your classes need to implement a JBoss Service Layer, specifically org.jboss.msc.service.Service along with a org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceActivator. it is the implementation of these service classes that control the instantiation and management of your HA Singleton. I have not tried deploying a hasingleton as a war and I have some doubts because I suspect the dependent service classes may not be available in the web container.
The ServiceActivator is responsible for managing the lifecycle of the Service. The ServiceActivator implementation class needs to be listed in a file META-INF/service/org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceActivator for JBoss to activate it during its startup / deployment.
Example:
Create a Service Activator
public abstract class SingletonActivator<T extends Serializable> implements ServiceActivator {

    @Override
    public SingletonService<String> instantiateSingleton() {
        return new SingletonService<String>();
    }

    public ServiceName getServiceName() {
         return ServiceName.JBOSS.append("my", "ha", "singleton");
     }

    /**
     * Activated by the Service Activator
     *
     * @param service
     * @param serviceName
     *            - the Singleton Service Name that is registered in the JBOSS cluster
     */
    @Override
    public final void activate(ServiceActivatorContext context) {
        SingletonService<T> service = instantiateSingleton();
        SingletonService<T> singleton = new SingletonService<T>(service, getServiceName());

        /*
         * The NamePreference is a combination of the node name (-Djboss.node.name) and the name of
         * the configured cache "singleton". If there is more than 1 node, it is possible to add more than
         * one name and the election will use the first available node in that list.
         */
        // e.g. singleton.setElectionPolicy(new PreferredSingletonElectionPolicy(new SimpleSingletonElectionPolicy(), new NamePreference("node1/singleton")));
        // or singleton.setElectionPolicy(new PreferredSingletonElectionPolicy(new SimpleSingletonElectionPolicy(), new NamePreference("node1/singleton"), new
        // NamePreference("node2/singleton")));

        singleton.build(new DelegatingServiceContainer(context.getServiceTarget(), context.getServiceRegistry())).setInitialMode(ServiceController.Mode.ACTIVE).install();
    }
}

Create A HA Singleton Service Class that is solely responsible for looking up and invoking your EJB containing your business logic

    protected ScheduledExecutorService deployDelayThread = null;

    /**

        // MSC does not allow this thread to be blocked so we let the service know that the start is asynchronous and the result will be advised later.
        // We delay the actual deployment of the Singleton for a few seconds to allow time for a HASingleton Election to be held and won by one of the instances.
        // If the winner is not this instance (prior to deployemnt) then stop(Context) is invoked which sets started to false and the deployment does not occur.

            } catch (NamingException e) {
                logger.error("Could not stop HASingleton service " + getJndiName() + " on " + nodeName, e);
            }
            logger.info("MASTER ONLY HASingleton service '" + this.getClass().getName() + "' Stopped on node " + nodeName);
        }
    }

    private String getJndiName() {
        return "java.global/path/to/your/singleton/ejb";
    }
}

Finally list your Activator class in META-INF/servcie/org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceActivator
com.mycompany.singletons.SingletonActivator

You may also need to add dependencies to the manifest META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file inside your jar as follows: Dependencies: org.jboss.msc, org.jboss.as.clustering.singleton, org.jboss.as.server
There is a more extensive implementation guide available from Redhat at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.4/html/Development_Guide/Implement_an_HA_Singleton.html. You may need to create a Redhat account to access this. There is also a quickstart example in the JBoss distribution.

A: So after further evaluation, the 2 singletons eventually would merge together after a few minutes, thus creating 1 intended singleton.
