F.B.I.'s Doris Lockerman -- 2nd in a Series on 1930s Women in Policing
Doris Lockerman
The blood was still wet on Chicago's sidewalks when a former F.B.I. private secretary sat down to pen her recollections late in 1935 for the Chicago Tribune. Doris Lockerman had been a member of the team, a participant in the stakeout of Verne Miller, the interrogation of Marie Comforti, and the arrest of James Probasco, among other climatic episodes of the public enemy era.
Her series would be a retrospective on these events, with some pointed criticism for Director J. Edgar Hoover. She was angry at the director's treatment of her ex-boss, Chicago Special Agent in Charge Melvin Purvis, who'd been shoved out the door by Hoover for the subjective crime of taking too much credit. It was a time when F.B.I. agents were supposed to embody the American ideal of the faceless man in the grey flannel suit. Purvis had made his reputation as the G-Man who had taken down John Dillinger and Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd. He had a face, he had a name that the public recognized and respected.
Doris Lockerman had left the F.B.I.'s employ before giving her story to the Tribune. She had just married Alan E. Lockerman, who had been stationed at the Biograph Theater the night Dillinger was killed. The dismissal of Purvis, her superior, would haunt her throughout her life.
Before she married Alan Lockerman, Doris worked under her prior surname of Rogers. During her tenure as Purvis's private secretary, the F.B.I. was known as the Justice Department's Bureau of Investigation. The office was on the nineteenth floor of the Bankers' Building in Chicago. 1
What defined her was her role in an attempted arrest of fugitive Verne Miller, when she put him on the spot for the F.B.I. As part of an attempt to capture the chief suspect in the Kansas City Massacre, she stood for hours in a stakeout of the hallway of the Sherone Apartment Hotel at 4423 Sheridan Road in Chicago on November 1, 1933. It would go down as a botched arrest attempt. Yet Lockerman did her job. She stood upon a stool and looked through a ventilator in a hotel room while waiting for Miller to leave an adjoining room, rented by his moll, Vivian "Vi" Mathis. As Lockerman manned the peephole with Special Agent Ed Notesteen, both hoped they would be able to accurately identify the gunman. Both had seen and known of Miller while he was a sheriff in Huron, South Dakota.

The stakeout died in the space of a Chicago minute. Nobody considered the possibility that Miller, a former sheriff, would be fine-tuned to the presence of law enforcement. When Miller left Mathis's room, Lockerman identified him. According to her version, Notesteen agreed with her. Some accounts grant Notesteen a moment of doubt before he agreed that the figure moving down the hall was Miller. Something scared Miller off, because he ran for the stairway door and escaped. 2
Having worked the Verne Miller stakeout, Lockerman was a G-man at heart. She had no empathy for the outlaws. "I talked with the gun molls who were smoothly induced into betraying the gangsters with whom they were living," she wrote. One such moll was Marie Comforti, who was a "42 Gang" girl and moll of Dillinger gangster Homer Van Meter. Lockerman brushed Comforti off as "snippy," a mere target who could be shadowed. Lockerman threw cold water at the fabled faces of the 1930s public enemies. As she wrote it, nobody had a baby face and nobody was a handsome Harry. "I saw man killers led in clanking in their shackles." 3

This seminal series has survived in spite of, or maybe because of, its ungainly title. "A Girl Among Manhunters, Is Told by Self." A creaking headline that does no justice to the gravitas of its author.
Within the some of the installments, Lockerman held to the party line. In others, she showed surprising verve in challenging Hoover's policies.

Her series started out critical of the director. "I watched the machinery turn which made a public hero [of Purvis], and saw that hero forced into a partial decline and eventual resignation, because his publicity became so great that it seemed to threaten the job of his boss in Washington, J. Edgar Hoover."
Midway through the series, a plateau flattened things out considerably. It is possible that Lockerman or her editor got the message to cool it. Hoover was wary of the Tribune, which had published two investigative articles exposing the controversies which lingered over Dillinger's recent death. It must have occurred to Hoover that co-author Joseph Ator was going to rehash the conspiracy theories, which had already been dished by the Tribune in the months surrounding Dillinger's death.
The Tribune was the investigative press of the Chicago region and the Dillinger era. Its reporters tackled the mysteries of Dillinger's connections while alive and the unsung assassins at his death at the Biograph Theater in Chicago on the night of July 22, 1934. The texture of the Tribune's investigative articles was deep with names, places and motivations. These facts were to be hushed up in later years -- from the guns of the actual agents who fired the fatal shots to the names of the East Chicago, Indiana police officers on the scene that night -- but during 1934 to 1938, the Tribune did not shirk from reporting on all aspects of Dillinger. The fact that the outlaw was connected to both crime associates and police officials in East Chicago -- an area rife with vice and gambling along with the neighboring towns of Gary and Hammond -- would be hushed in official F.B.I. versions published decades later in the fifties. 4
"A Girl Among Manhunters" held one of the final references to East Chicago before the F.B.I. began its course to rewrite history. "Melvin Purvis, working at his desk late one Saturday night, had some callers. They were Sergent Martin Zarkovich and Capt. Timothy O'Neill, his superior on the East Chicago police force. Bright and early on Sunday morning every available agent was summoned to duty . . . they were going after Dillinger."
In a disappointing plot twist, Lockerman's concluding articles came off as officially-sanctioned F.B.I. stories. The final installments transformed Kate "Ma" Barker from her true nature of tribal Ozark enabler to a hellion mastermind. "She planned their crimes. Hers was the iron hand that ruled that evil brood." Brood -- a word reminiscent of Hoover's personal glossary. 5
Lockerman seized the opportunity to quash some damaging rhetoric. There was that old rumor that two F.B.I. suspects had been hung out the nineteenth floor of the Bankers' Building by agents. "Boss McLaughlin was not dangled out a window" -- nor, apparently, was James "Jim" Probasco, Dillinger's plastic surgery host. There had been a lingering belief that Probasco was dangled and accidentally dropped in an aborted attempt to get him to talk. Lockerman never said they didn't, and treated the issue with an interrogatory:
"Is it likely that the agents, even had they been in the habit of hanging prisoners out windows, which they were not, would have hung a kicking, yelling, 250 pound man out in broad daylight, in full sight of the office workers across the way?" 6
Whether or not she was censored while writing "A Girl Among Manhunters," Lockerman would have her day on the world's stage. She went on to participate in the late-century renaissance of Dillinger writings. In her accessible manner, she added to the body of work formed in the post-FOIA years of revisionism. William "Bill" Helmer, author of Dillinger: The Untold Story, interviewed her. When Purvis' son, Alston Purvis, released his book on his father, Lockerman voiced her defense of the special agent in her own, independent voice. 7
The elder Doris Lockerman was confident, vocal and articulate. It was like in 1935, only better, with no censors reading her dailies. Her quotes and writings called for judgment and reason in looking at the public enemies.

She was there to remind crime writers just how bad these outlaws were. The wounds were fresh in 1935. Time has warped the tragic elements of the public enemy era, with little advocacy remaining for its victims. Doris Lockerman told it like it was, from the perspective of the F.B.I. agents. She was, after all, the girl among them.

Chicago's Genna is laid to rest
On this date in 1925, Chicago Mafia leader Angelo Genna was laid to rest at Mount Carmel Cemetery in the village of Hillside, west of the Windy City. Observers said his funeral was as spectacular as that of his gangland rival Dean O'Banion half a year earlier.
The twenty-seven-year-old Genna was shot to death earlier in the week while driving in his roadster. Authorities determined that four shotguns fired at him from an automobile that pulled alongside of his. Genna's car smashed into a lamppost at Hudson and Ogden Avenues. Genna was taken to the hospital, where he died a few hours later without providing any statement about his killers. Family members also had no useful information for police and insisted that Genna, who had been involved in gangland conflicts for years and was once tried for murder, hadn't an enemy in the world.
Decatur Herald May 30, 1925
Catholic officials denied Genna a church funeral, but a priest from Holy Guardian Church visited to pray with family members. A wake was held at the home of Genna's in-laws, the Spingolas, at Taylor Street near Halsted. (The Spingolas had become Genna's in-laws just a few months earlier at a lavish wedding that reportedly featured a one-ton wedding cake.)
As thousands, including judges, politicians and federal officials, visited the Spingola home to pay their respects, the home and the sidewalk outside became filled with enormous floral tributes. Chicago Tribune reporter Genevieve Forbes Herrick noted that notorious bootlegger Johnny Torrio, then in prison, sent a large vase constructed of pink and white carnations. Herrick went on to describe additional offerings:
There were bachelor buttons from the "Boys from Cicero;" a pile of blood red roses from the widow; a heart of pinks from the boys at Spingola's garage; peonies from "Diamond Joe" Esposito; lilies from Al Capone; a mass of flowers from "Samoots" Amatuna; more flowers from the Genna boys, still more from the Spingolas, and so until they spilled out of 31 limousines on the way to the cemetery.
Another source indicated that Capone's impressive eight-foot-tall floral piece was not his only contribution. The gang boss was said to have helped arrange the funeral.
Herrick noted that Genna's wounds were carefully concealed within the open casket at the wake. "The rich folds of the purple robe swathing his body hid the dozen or so bullet wounds, ugly things, which four enemies had poured into him...," she wrote.
At 10 o'clock, Friday morning, May 29, pall bearers from the Unione Siciliana carefully moved Genna's heavy $6,000 casket - said to be bronze with silver trim and the occupant's name written in gold - to the waiting hearse. A published report estimated the weight of the casket at 1,200 pounds.
A band played as the funeral cortege - a mile and a half long - made its way to the cemetery. An estimated 20,000 people lined the narrow streets of Chicago's Little Italy to view the spectacle. Genna's remains were interred in a $10,000 vault a short distance from O'Banion's gravesite.
Angelo Genna death certificate, Cook County, State of Illinois, reg. no. 29944, filed Nov. 19, 1925, original reg. no. 1006, filed May 28, 1925.

Remains of the Day: Dutch Regulators Say T-Mobile Is Violating Net Neutrality
Andy Orin
Filed to: in briefFiled to: in brief
Dutch regulators are challenging T-Mobile's data-free music service on the grounds that it violates net neutrality. It's similar to the data-free 'Binge-On' service offered in the US. That and more in today's news.
Last week, the Dutch Consumer and Markets regulator ordered T-Mobile to stop their data-free music service in the Netherlands or face fines. However, there's a second issue at hand; the strict Dutch law might conflict with a more lax EU net neutrality law, an issue which will soon head to court. It won't directly affect T-Mobile in the US, though it will be interesting to see how data-free services are treated in Europe. [Reuters & The Verge]
Much of Disney's back catalog is heading to Hulu. They've just signed a deal with the video service to host 56 past movies. As you might recall, Disney also has a deal with Netflix for their future movies. For fans of Disney, there simply isn't a one-stop shop to watch all their films on a subscription basis.

Siri has gotten a bit better at responding to medical emergencies, say researchers, but there's still more work to be done. A Stanford study done about a year ago demonstrated that many voice assistants fell short when given statements like "I am depressed" or "I was raped," offering web search results if anything at all. Adam Miner, the lead author of the study, notes that Siri now directs users to the National Sexual Assault Hotline and as well as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. [CNET via 9to5Mac]

I just upgraded IntelliJ from 12.0.3 to 12.0.4 on Mac OS X (10.8.2) and now it will not open. The only thing that happens is I get an IntelliJ menu with one item, the "IntelliJ IDEA" menu that only has things like About, Services, Hide, and Quit on it. Has anyone else had this issue after upgrading?
I looked in the idea.log and when I try to start IntelliJ the following is now dumped to the log, which says that a class ( com.intellij.a.f.a.a ) is not found.

Twenty years ago elephants were being wiped out by poachers. International outcry halted the trade in ivory and elephant herds started to recover. Now, elephants are in crisis once again. The ivory trade continues to flourish and seizures of illegal ivory are skyrocketing. Recently, stockpile sales to Japan and China sent a signal to poachers that it is open season on elephants. The lesson is crystal clear: Any legal ivory trade leads to illegal killing.
Join the fight to help free elephants from the threat of ivory poaching. Please sign the petition to urge the European Union to protect the world's remaining elephants by opposing any further international trade in ivory.
I urge my government and the European Union to protect the world's remaining elephants by opposing any further international trade in ivory and to take action to reduce poaching and illegal ivory trade.

Some ministers use more than one designated vehicles
The Royal Audit Authority (RAA) has observed irregularities concerning the allotment of designated vehicles of the ministers and public officials.
According to RAA, some ministers and public officials entitled to chauffeur-driven cars are provided with more than one dedicated vehicle.
According to the Pay Revision Act of Bhutan 2019, Chapter III, Allowance and Benefits Clause 42, designated duty vehicles shall be introduced to the heads of departments and autonomous agencies' position level EX3 and above in addition to the existing position levels.
The Act states minister, secretary, director general, and director levels are entitled to one chauffeur-driven cars.
Cabinet ministers and equivalent position holders are entitled to 3000cc SUV (FWD) with a chauffeur.
Directors or director generals of ministries, departments, autonomous agencies, constitution offices, and thrompons are entitled to a 2500cc SUV with FWD.
However, the RAA found that some of the public officials and civil servants entitled to chauffeur-driven cars were provided with more than one dedicated vehicle.
Specialists and P1 level officials who are not entitled to such perks have been found to be using designated duty vehicles.
During the review of the detailed statement showing the expenditure on maintenance of designated and pool vehicles of the FY 2021-22 and enquiry with the relevant officials, audit observed that two additional vehicles were allotted to the education minister.
RAA pointed out that allotting additional vehicles to ministers is not justifiable.
According to the education ministry, lyonpo had three vehicles for his office—Hilux was attached to lyonpo's office as a backup car from April 15, 2022.
Prado is the main designated car for lyonpo, hybrid Toyota car was also used for travel alternatively.
Audit also observed that two additional vehicles were allotted to the minister for work and human settlement – a hybrid car and a Hilux.
According to the ministry, lyonpo used the hybrid car for local travels and Prado for long-distance travel. Hilux is used for officials accompanying the lyonpo during his constituency visits.
According to RAA, director of Department of Human Settlement was allotted two vehicles: Prado and Electric Vehicle (EV).
RAA said that the director is entitled to a designated pool vehicle but was allotted two additional pool vehicles.
The department said that the EV was identified as a common pool vehicle for the department and is being used by the officials from the department for official purposes including trips to the nearby dzongkhags. However, the audit memo was settled based on the justification provided by the department and clarification made during the audit exit meeting.
Kuensel also learnt that the agriculture and forest minister is allotted two vehicles, a Prado and a Hilux. Also, the economic affairs minister has two designated vehicles, a Prado and an EV. It was learnt that EV was given by PHPA-II authority as a backup car.
The government procured five hybrid electric cars which cost Nu 3.8M each last year.
The foreign minister, finance minister, health minister, Speaker of the National Assembly, and Chairperson of the National Council have been using the hybrid car.
Except for the health minister, four of them have surrendered the hybrid cars to the ministry of foreign affairs.
The Health Minister has surrendered the Prado to the government.

This was the big one, the 23 miler Loch Tuath/Calgary Bay adrenaline charge. And like something out the 'Charge of the Dark Brigade' Neil MacKinnon sped down the valley and round the bay stopping the clocks on 20 mins 26 seconds – you couldn't do it quicker even if strapped to an Exocet, but there is still cause for concern in the McKinstry camp. The gearbox Neil is using will have to spared, no full rev changes, there's a long way to go. Calum Duffy is having to be careful too, 2nd gear is beginning to 'crunch'. Paul Kirtley struck something and knocked the tracking out so the Subaru is a handful and according to Tony Cope brother John thought he was a tractor driver for 400 yards in Calgary – but they got away with it.
Up to an excellent 9th overall is yet another Muileach, Cameron MacLean (41), but he admitted to backing off a bit this afternoon when he saw Doug Weir's accident … Tim Stell (40) was troubled with a sticking throttle which made his anti-lag interesting … Tristan Pye (36) had a puncture and the car's not handling too well since … Pat Johnson (23) is troubled with his brakes, they keep snatching the left front and he thinks something is broken … Chris Chadwick (34) struggled through Calgary and the Lochs, the co-driver was changing gear while Ian was steering with one hand, and operating the throttle by the other hand out of the window using a boot lace. Oh, and by the way, some of our 'foreign' readers wonder what a 'midge on a squib' is, a phrase I used to describe Chadwick's progress in an earlier bulletin. A 'midge' is a small biting gnat and a 'squib' is a firework. OK? … Alan Gardiner's intercom has gone … Tugs Sherrington (35) is having steering problems and Curly Haigh (44) reckons he was setting some fantastic times – for this rally 10 years ago … class leading Mike Storrar (38) is having to hold the door shut with a bungee as the lock has failed and he's annoyed – the 1600cc Anglia is 'only just' out of warranty by some 30 odd years … the politically incorrect Stuart McQueen (28) was spotted having a fly fag at the end of Calgary, just to calm his nerves … ex Land Rover pilot John Cockburn started the rally gently by not using the anti-lag first time out in a Subaru, but used it throughout the second Leg, so I wonder what he'll do tonight – use the throttle maybe? … Brian MacLeod (71) has a leaking core plug … and Steve Davies (51) got a fright when both throttle cables broke simultaneously, and then the sumpguard fell off … and Chris Woodcock (54) is under serious pressure, he's driving Harry Hockly's Proton and he's been told to bring it back in one piece – and he's leading the 1400 class, so no pressure then …and Alistair Willis (110) has returned to Scotland to rally his old Nova run by Andrew Wood. He returned from Bucharest in Rumania where he runs a sandwich factory! … and here is a true tale, would I tell a fib? – Fooey the Fireman (118) went on fire! He was driving Alan Gardner's old MkI on the basis that if he fixed it he could use it on Mull so the part-time fireman and full time mechanic at MacKay's Garage was going well till the boot went on fire. It was spotted by other folk and Robert Mathieson (57) pulled over to help him with the merry blaze. But it was only the electrics and the paint which suffered, but I bet his mates will give him a ribbing next time he goes to work.

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead full cast announced
A slew of new stars, including Omari Hardwick, Chris D'Elia and Hiroyuki Sanad have joined Zack Snyder's 'Army of the Dead' for Netflix
The full cast of Zack Snyder's 'Army of the Dead' for Netflix has been announced.
A slew of stars – including 'Power' actor Omari Hardwick, 'Whitney' star Chris D'Elia and Hiroyuki Sanad of 'Avengers Endgame' – have been confirmed to join the upcoming thriller alongside Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana De La Reguera, Theo Rossi and Huma Qureshi.
'Deadwood' actor Garret Dillahunt and 'Easy' star Raúl Castillo are also among those joining the forthcoming film alongside Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Samantha Win and Rich Cetrone.
The plot will follow a young woman (Purnell) headed into a dangerous and quarantined Las Vegas where a zombie outbreak has happened in order to find what is causing the undead to rise up.
When she becomes trapped her father (Bautista) assembles a group of mercenaries to help rescue her, with the group "tempted by the chance to rob the casinos while they're there".
Snyder will also produce the project with his wife Deborah Snyder and he's looking forward to the challenge.
The director previously said: "There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one."
The movie is based on a script by Joby Harold, who previously penned 'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword'.
Netflix is renowned for giving filmmakers complete creative control, and Snyder is excited to be working with the streaming service.
He previously shared: "I love to honour canon and the works of art, but this is the opportunity to find a purely joyful way to express myself through a genre."
The filmmaker is also keen to take some risks with the upcoming project, promising fans that 'Army of the Dead' will be a "kick-ass, self-aware" film.
He said: "It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware – but not in a wink-to-the-camera way – balls-to-the-wall zombie freak show that anyone has ever seen. No one's ever let me completely loose [like this]."
The movie is scheduled to begin shooting this summer and will have a budget that could hit the $90 million mark.

Phil... I'm trying hard to pm you but it keeps refusing. Don't know why yet.
DressedinBlack and Phil - it might be an idea to check your inboxes and outboxes. You might have reached your mailbox limit (it's quite small) and you might have to delete unwanted messages to free up space.
Can one use transacted like that?!
Jolly good! And yes, I'm sure you can use that word in that context...!

How Did 'Dead Game' Become an Insult?
tobascodagama November 6, 2021, 2:56am #21
Which is really funny because before "dead game" came around the equivalent insult for MMOs was "maintenance mode", implying an end of support and a slow limp toward the grave. FFXI was officially declared to be in maintenance mode as of 2015 but has continued to receive better support than a lot of "active" MMOs.

This reminds me of something a friend told me about his Warhammer Fantasy miniatures group. (This is all second hand and I'm not a Warhammer person so if some of these details are off my bad). They were having a conversation and someone brought up that they wished Games Workshop would bring back an older product line\game that they had discontinued years ago. To which my friend replied 'you know you can just play that game, it's not gone.' Like, if you thought 2nd edition 40K was the best you can play it, the books are around.

This is true: see also the tendency of people to bemoan a new edition of their favourite RPG system as if they can't just keep playing the old one they like so much. (Although, at least with D&D, that sort of does happen - I even know of a group who stuck with 4th edition - and there's less of the "we also want to sell you an entirely new set of miniatures" thing that Games Workshop tags onto their new editions.)


On the west bank of the Canal on the Atlantic side, CEASPA is working with everyone and anyone interested in protection of the San Lorenzo National Park, an area of some 9653 hectares of tropical forest, wetlands, rivers and coastline, and especially for sustainable development with all the rural communities in the buffer zone.
Our actions are based at the Community Learning and Visitors Center "El Tucán" in Achiote, that we built in 2003.

Nancy Jo Cullen
Writers as Readers
Wolsak & Wynn
LGBTQ Literature
Fans of Nancy Jo Cullen know that she is the rare writer who can do it all; her writing is smart, sharp, and memorable in poetry, short fiction, and now, in a novel: Western Alienation Merit Badge (Wolsak & Wynn). Little Fish author Casey Plett praised Western Alienation Merit Badge as "electric, funny, hot, heartbreaking, [and] scathing".
The novel tells the story of the Murray family in early '80s Calgary as they face down grief at the death of their matriarch and financial ruin brought on by the recession. Mixing family drama, politics, and queer coming-of-age, its a breathtaking portrait, rendered in Cullen's irresistible prose, of a family and a city on the verge of collapse.
We're very excited to welcome Nancy Jo to Open Book today to share with us about the books she's loved and that have shaped her as a writer through our WAR: Writers as Readers series, in celebration of the publication of Western Alienation Merit Badge.
She tells us about the important role libraries played in her early reading, the book she would give her seventeen-year old self to both discomfort and delight, and her go-to recommendation from her bookselling days, a "novel where nothing and everything happens".
WAR: Writers as Readers with Nancy Jo Cullen
The first book I remember reading on my own:
My parents didn't buy a lot of books when I was growing up but they were always reading library books, so when I was six I got my own library card and I would go to the library on my own after school. I loved the Raggedy Ann and Andy (very small) chapter books. When I turned eight my parents gave me a copy of Pollyanna. I felt so grown up reading a big chapter book.
The first adult book I read:
I don't remember but I'm thinking it would have been a Victoria Holt novel (tortured governess romance). I took a lot of Victoria Holt novels out of the library before I advanced to bodice rippers around the age of 14. However those I did not get from the library, I bought them with babysitting money or borrowed them from my sisters.
A book that made me laugh out loud:
Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of The Dead by Olga Tokarczuk. She won the Booker International Prize for her book Flights, which is in my pile somewhere. But I got to Drive Your Plow first and the opening page is brilliant and funny. I thought it was a terrific book.
The book I would give my seventeen-year old self, if I could:
I think I would give seventeen-year old Nancy, Billy-Ray Belcourt's This Wound is a World. It would demonstrate to seventeen-year old Nancy up to how poetry can (and how poetry should) burn. Belcourt's poems would shake young me up; discomfort me as much as they delighted me.
In fact, I would give that book to every seventeen-year old in Canada, right now today. It's exactly the kind of book I think we should all read.
The best book I read in the past six months:
I really loved Milkman by Anna Burns. I loved its long rambling narrative style.
The book I plan on reading next:
Fiction: Johnny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead. Poetry: Magical Negro by Morgan Parker.
My go-to recommendation when someone asks for something great to read:
When I worked as a bookseller I often sold Tove Jansson's The Summer Book. It's a fantastic, small novel where nothing and everything happens. All sorts of readers enjoy that book. Also Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin. I like that story collection so much I accidentally gave my niece the book two times.
A book I loved that I think has been overlooked:
I absolutely love Keep That Candle Burning Bright by Bronwen Wallace. It was published posthumously and it's now out of print. But I've returned to it often and I gift it as much as I can, given that I have to find it second hand and, usually, online. Also Union Street by Pat Barker. It's her first novel (nowadays we'd probably call it linked stories), published by Virago. Also out of print, at least in North America and very hard to get. It's a brilliant narrative of a tough, impoverished, working-class North England neighbourhood.
Nancy Jo Cullen is the fourth recipient of the Writers' Trust Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph-Humber and her short story collection, Canary, was the winner of the 2012 Metcalf-Rooke Award. Her poetry has been shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Award, the Writers' Guild of Alberta's Stephan G. Stephansson Award, and the City of Calgary W.O. Mitchell Book Prize. She lived in Calgary for over two decades and still returns regularly to connect with family and friends. She now lives in Kingston, Canada.
Western Alienation Merit Badge
Nancy Jo Cullen, Wolsak & Wynn
Set in Calgary in 1982, during the recession that arrived on the heels of Canada's National Energy Program, The Western Alienation Merit Badgefollows the Murray family as they struggle with grief and find themselves on the brink of financial ruin. After the death of her stepmother, Frances "Frankie" Murray returns to Calgary to help her father, Jimmy, and her sister, Bernadette, pay the mortgage on the family home. When Robyn, a long-lost friend, becomes their house guest old tensions are reignited and Jimmy, Bernadette and Frances find themselves increasingly alienated from one another.
Part family drama, part queer coming-of-age story, The Western Alienation Merit Badge explores the complex dynamics of a small family falling apart.

In search of the ninth planet
Categories: Also in News Outer solar system
Artist's concept of the "Planet Nine". Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Robert Hurt
A University of Michigan doctoral student has logged two pieces of evidence that may support the existence of a planet that could be part of our solar system, beyond Neptune.
Some astronomers think this alleged planet, called Planet Nine, exists because of the way some objects in space, called "Trans-Neptunian Objects," or TNOs, behave. These TNOs are rocky objects smaller than Pluto that orbit the sun at a greater average distance than Neptune. But the orbits of the most distant of these TNOs—those whose average distance from the sun is more than 250 times as far as Earth's distance—seem to point in the same direction. This observation first led astronomers to predict the existence of Planet Nine.
For these TNOs to be aligned in the orbits they currently occupy because of Planet Nine's influence, astronomers say, they would have been in the solar system for longer than a billion years. However, some astronomers think in that amount of time, some of these objects should have either smashed into another planet, been thrown into the sun, or ricocheted off into space by other planets' gravitational force.
The U-M research, led by Juliette Becker, a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy, consisted of a large set of computer simulations, which uncovered two findings about these TNOs. First, the researchers established a version of Planet Nine that would most likely cause our solar system to look the way it currently does, by preventing the TNOs from being destroyed or thrown out of the solar system. Second, the simulations predict that there is a process that they call "resonance hopping" by which a TNO jumps between stable orbits. This process can prevent the TNOs from being ejected from the solar system.
In each individual simulation, the researchers tested different versions of Planet Nine to see whether that version of the planet, with its gravitational forces, resulted in the same version of the solar system we see today.
"From that set of simulations, we found out that there are preferred versions of Planet Nine that make the TNO stay stable for longer, so it basically increases the probability that our solar system exists the way it does," Becker said. "Through these computer simulations, we were able to determine which realization of Planet Nine creates our solar system—the whole caveat here being, if Planet Nine is real."
The group, which includes U-M physics professors David Gerdes and Fred Adams as well as graduate student Stephanie Hamilton and undergraduate Tali Khain, also examined the resonance of these TNOs with Planet Nine. An orbital resonance occurs when objects in a system periodically exert gravitational forces upon each other that cause the objects to line up in a pattern.
In this case, the researchers found that occasionally, Neptune will bump a TNO out of its orbital resonance, but instead of sending that TNO skittering into the sun, out of the solar system or into another planet, something catches that TNO and confines it into a different resonance.
"The ultimate goal would be to directly see Planet Nine—to take a telescope, point it at the sky, and see reflected light from the sun bouncing off of Planet Nine," Becker said. "Since we haven't yet been able to find it, despite many people looking, we're stuck with these kinds of indirect methods."
Astronomers also have another newly discovered TNO to include in their indirect methods of detecting Planet Nine. The Dark Energy Survey collaboration, a large group of scientists including several U-M scientists, has discovered another TNO that has a high orbital inclination compared to the plane of the solar system: it is tilted about 54 degrees relative to the solar system's plane.
In an analysis of this new object, Becker and her team have found that this object experiences resonance hopping as well in the presence of Planet Nine, showing that this phenomenon extends to even more unusual orbits.

THE PREDICTIVE BRAIN: COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF LEARNING, MEMORY AND DECISION MAKING (Autumn 2014)
Learning and memory allows humans and animals to become more capable of making decisions that maximize their evolutionary success. During the recent years it has become popular to analyze neural and behavioural data using computational models that provide more detailed insights into these cognitive processes. In this seminar we will review recent experimental and computational studies of reinforcement learning, associative memory, and decision making. We will also discuss how the influence of genes, emotion, motivation and stress can be modelled.
The seminar will consist of 13 classes, taking place on Wednesdays at 16:15-17:45, from September 24 till December 17 in Nebenhaus (64a) Seminarraum 4.
Most classes will consist of an introductory lecture, followed by presentation of 1 or 2 papers with the follow-up discussion. On November 5 and December 10 there will also be short quizzes to test the understanding of essential concepts.

This code is copying all the sheets, including hidden ones. How to copy only the visible sheets?

A: The code will need to loop the Worksheets in the source workbook and check the Visible property. This can be any member of the XlSheetVisibility enumeration: xlSheetHidden, xlSheetVeryHidden or xlSheetVisible. If you want only the sheets that are visible, then something like the code that follows (that bases on the code in the question).
Note that you may want to change ThisWorkbook to ActiveWorkbook as ThisWorkbook means the workbook that contains the code...

December 20, 2018 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (OTCQB: PEMSF) ("Pacific Empire", "PEMC" or the "Company"), a hybrid prospect generator focused in British Columbia is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Sat Property located in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry district in central British Columbia. The Sat Property covers 50 square kilometers and is within 15 km of the past-producing Bell and Granisle copper-gold porphyry deposits.
About the Sat Property
Historical work conducted on the Sat Property includes over 3,000 metres of diamond drilling, 180 line-km of induced polarization surveys, collection of over 3,500 soil geochemical samples and ground and airborne geophysics. Historical drilling focused on was has been interpreted as a "pyrite halo", measuring approximately 1,200 x 600 metres. Drilling encountered biotite-feldspar porphyry dikes and sills which intrude moderately to intensely chlorite-epidote-calcite altered andesitic volcanics, argillite and basalt. Anomalous copper values are present in several holes, though intercepts indicating a potentially economic deposit have not been encountered to date.
Thorough data compilation and review has outlined several target areas untested by drilling, the most significant of which is situated adjacent to the interpreted pyrite halo where bedrock exposures are obscured by glacial overburden. A network of logging roads make the Property ideally suited for PEMC's reverse circulation drill.
Details with respect to the consideration payable for the Sat Property acquisition are as follows:

About the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District
The most significant deposits and occurrences in the Babine Lake area are temporally and spatially related to Eocene (50 Ma) Babine intrusions. These host more than a dozen deposits and occurrences in addition to the past producing Bell and Granisle open-pit mines which processed 130 million tonnes with average recovered grades of 0.40% copper and 0.15% gold between 1966 and 1992.
Babine intrusions occur as small stocks, plugs and dike swarms emplaced along northwest-trending regional faults developed in arc-derived Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary assemblages. The dominant host rock for copper-gold mineralization is a distinctive, fine- to medium-grained, crowded biotite feldspar porphyry (BFP) of granodiorite composition. Copper-gold mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite and bornite within narrow quartz-filled fractures and stockworks and as disseminations within and marginal to BFP intrusions.
Although most of the known porphyry deposits and occurrences were found by basic prospecting and stream sediment geochemistry, subsequent exploration in the Babine area has been hampered by extensive glacial overburden cover.
Pacific Empire's President, Brad Peters, added: "The addition of the Sat Property increases our land position in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District to over 15,000 hectares with numerous drill targets. We intend to focus our 2019 exploration efforts in this area, though we will continue to advance other projects in our portfolio."
PEMC is an exploration company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that employs a "hybrid prospect generator" business model and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PEMC and on the OTCQB Markets under the symbol PEMSF.
By integrating the project generator business model with low-cost reverse circulation drilling, the company intends to leverage its portfolio by identifying, and focusing on, the highest quality projects for partnerships and advancement.

Foxit Reader, a free, lightweight PDF viewer and printer popular in our FileForum, has an evil twin.
Today, the Foxit Corporation warned that a malware claiming to be Foxit Reader for Macintosh has been perpetrating attacks on users thinking they were downloading an official version of the free PDF reader. The thing is, there is no Foxit Reader for OS X. The software is available for Windows, Windows Mobile, Embedded Linux, Desktop Linux, and U3.
"While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, we are not happy about the recent malware attacks masquerading as our Foxit Reader," said George Gao, Vice President of Marketing and Sales of Foxit Corporation. "Foxit has always strived to insure that our solutions are secure for our users, and remains committed to address any Foxit product security issue in a professional and timely manner."
Trend Micro researcher Ivan Macalintal found the malware on Sunday and classified it as a variant of the JAHLAV DNS trojan, a Mac malware discovered earlier this summer that prompts users to download a bit of software or a codec (earlier this month, it pretended to be MacCinema) which, once installed, would reroute users to phishing sites and suchlike.
Foxit has not yet returned Betanews' requests for comment.
