"Riprendi-ti al MUDEC"
MUDEC - Museum of Cultures | Milan
The Museum of Cultures (MUDEC) was inaugurated in March 2015; its collections include around 8,000 objects coming from Asia, Africa, America and Oceania.
The pilot project "Riprendi-ti al MUDEC" (a word pun difficult to translate into English, but roughly meaning "Film the MUDEC / Film yourself at the MUDEC") was developed in the framework of "YEAD – Young European (Cultural) Audience Development", a four-year project supported by the "Creative Europe" programme of the European Union (2015-2019).
More in particular, the museum was involved in YEAD – Year 1 (2015-2016), devoted to the theme "Universal Access to Culture", whose overarching goals were:
• to reach underrepresented audiences and improve access to cultural institutions and creative works in the EU and beyond by fostering creative partnerships between cultural and creative players (museum professionals and young filmmakers)
• to provide European museum professionals and filmmakers with skills, competences and know-how needed to engage and develop young audiences through innovative approaches in the field of heritage education in an intercultural perspective.
• Project leader: MUDEC – Museum of Cultures, Milan (working team: two assistant curators, one film-maker and two interns)
• YEAD project partner: Fondazione Ismu – Initiatives and studies on multiethnicity, Milan (YEAD coordinator for Italy)
• Local project partner: "Oriani Mazzini" Institute, a vocational school for commercial, health and social services based in Milan.
The other museum partners involved in YEAD – Year 1 were:
• in Italy: MUST – Museum of Vimercate's Territory and "Adriano Bernareggi" Museum (Bergamo)
• in France: Louvre (Paris), Musée national des arts asiatiques "Guimet" (Paris), Musée d'Angoulême (Angoulême), Centre des Monuments Nationaux (Paris).
Funding bodies
As part of YEAD, "Riprendi-ti al MUDEC" was co-funded by the "Creative Europe" programme and Fondazione Ismu.
For young participants:
• to understand and recognise the specificity and value of museum objects
• to familiarise with museum spaces, functions and staff
• to explore MUDEC's collection from unusual perspectives, and appreciate its potential "resonance" with their personal life experiences
• to develop an ability to understand different points of view
• to develop basic skills in film-making as a tool to express their personal view on cultural heritage
• to learn to work in a group in a participatory way
• to become the Museum's spokespeople to reach their peers.
For the museum:
• to explore and recognise the museum's potential as a place of encounter, exchange and relationship with/between young people with diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences
• to enhance the expertise of museum staff in participatory planning issues (workforce development)
• to design and implement a project structure which is replicable with the museum's own budget, as well as transferable to other contexts (legacy, continuity, transferability)
• to raise the awareness of the museum's management and staff as a whole; to embed collaborative projects with young people into the museum's ordinary practices (institutional development)
• to reinforce strategic partnerships with other local actors
• to actively involve young people in a process of peer-to-peer communication aimed at conveying a different image of the museum.
22 youths aged 14-21, both Italian and with a migrant background.
Duration of the project
November 2015 – November 2016.
1. MUDEC took part in the intensive training workshop (Milan and Turin, November 2015, see programme) addressed to the Italian and French groups of museum professionals and young film-makers involved in YEAD. The aim was to provide workshop participants with new skills, competences and know-how to reach cross-cultural audiences, with a particular focus on underrepresented groups and individuals (mostly youths with a migrant background), as well as to share and discuss guidelines which would help develop new pilot projects in the French and Italian museums involved.
2. Getting started: initial steps in designing the pilot project included mapping the neighbourhood, establishing contacts with project partner, defining roles and responsibilities, checking resources and "constraints", defining the overall goals and structure of the pilot project (further refined and finalised with young participants).
3. Workshop meetings (April-June 2016) – engaging young participants in a dialogue with museum staff, spaces, collections and objects in stores.
All meetings were designed and run to promote the active involvement of young participants: exploration of museum spaces (exhibition spaces, museum stores, restoration lab), workshop activities on specific artefacts (e.g. "Tell us a story:" 7 object descriptions with an opening line aimed at triggering new stories; "Discovering museum objects": brainstorming on 4 objects in the museum's stores), video interviews with museum staff members ("May I introduce you to…?": getting to know the museum staff, from the director and curators to the registrars, museum educators and museum guards), introducing film language, audiovisual devices, basic film-making techniques (shooting, acting, directing) and carrying out brief exercises with smartphones.
Starting from the third meeting, participants were divided in three diverse groups (in terms of age, cultural background, filmmaking skills), who worked at the creation of three videos, from writing the storyboard to post-production, on the theme "Communicate the museum to your peers": Secret of art", "Unexpected tour", "A very crazy crew at the MUDEC".
4. Formative and summative evaluation (for the evaluation strategies and tools as a whole, see YEAD – Year 1 project description):
• before starting the pilot project, MUDEC designed a short questionnaire to gather information on young participants' expectations, needs, previous cultural experiences and perception of museums
• together with MUST and the "Adriano Bernareggi" Museum, MUDEC took part in two collective meetings organised by Fondazione ISMU (February and May 2016) to carry out formative evaluation of the work in progress, identify critical hurdles and suggest remedial action if needed; moreover, Fondazione Ismu constantly acted as a "facilitator/mentor" of MAB's working team through individual meetings, Skype conversations and e-mail exchanges
• a formative evaluation session was also organised in Paris (June 206), so that the Italian and French groups could share, discuss and improve their work in progress
• as for summative evaluation, Fondazione Ismu designed two questionnaires, one aimed at museum operators and film-makers, the other at the young participants of pilot projects.
5. Dissemination:
• presentation of the pilot project and three videos to teachers, relatives and fellow students at the MUDEC (June 2016)
• the process, outcomes and outputs of YEAD – Year 1 were presented at public seminar organised by Fondazione Ismu in Milan (MUDEC, 11 November 2016, see programme), attended by professionals (museum operators, filmmakers, researchers, educators…), students (museum studies, filmmaking, media design…) and under-represented audiences from which project participants came from.
On-line resources
• backstage of the pilot projects carried out in the three Italian museums involved
• YEAD website and Facebook page.
Lessons to be learned
• an opportunity for the project team to develop new professional skills (e.g. participatory approach to engaging young audiences, using film-making in educational projects)
• the use of the audiovisual language and the "immersive" experience in the museum, in close touch with museum staff, to secure high level of involvement on the part of young participants
• the high potential of the strategies employed throughout the project to promote team building in future initiatives
• the project revealed unexpected points of view in "conveying" the experience at the museum
• the production of videos among the project's objectives reinforced young participants' motivation.
Comments from young participants:
• desire to repeat the experience over a longer time-span
• improvement in team working
• feeling of being "narrators" rather than "listeners".
Critical issues:
• without an appropriate supervision, young participants ran the risk of perceiving the museum as a "location/set", rather than the "heart" of their short videos
• little time available for the project as a whole to unfold, as well as to edit videos
• bad timing (spring) for the involvement of the school partner
• difficulties in using shared equipment with a large group (22 students).
• some felt felt they did not reflect enough on heritage and its value(s)
• others felt the need to devote more time to exploring heritage in order to create videos more focused on its interpretation.
For a more detailed and in-depth overview of the lessons learned throughout the pilot project (many of which were shared with the other two museums involved) see YEAD – Year 1 project description.

Chan is an undercover cop who enlists his bumbling former orphanage pals, the five Lucky Stars, to help him track down a corrupt cop hiding out in the Japanese underworld. From the dazzling amusement-park-set opening—with Chan scaling a Ferris wheel in one of his most jaw-dropping stunts—to the thrilling haunted-house finale, MY LUCKY STARS offers its trio of legends a true chance to shine.

Online activation Windows 11 Professional English OEM Key Pack
Large Image : Online activation Windows 11 Professional English OEM Key Pack
DVD+Key Card

Certificated Software
These are the minimum system requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC. If your device does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to install Windows 11 on your device and might want to consider purchasing a new PC. If you are unsure whether your PC meets these requirements, you can check with your PC Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or, if your device is already running Windows 10, you can use the PC Health Check app to assess compatibility. Note that this app does not check for graphics card or display, as most compatible devices will meet those requirements listed below.
Your device must be running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, to upgrade. Free updates are available through Windows Update in Settings>Update and Security.
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB).
Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device Note: See below under "More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date" for more details.
System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable. Check here for information on how your PC might be able to meet this requirement.
TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. Check here for instructions on how your PC might be enabled to meet this requirement.
Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver.
Display: High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9" diagonally, 8 bits per color channel.
Internet connection and Microsoft account: Windows 11 Home edition requires internet connectivity and a Microsoft account. Switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S mode also requires internet connectivity. Learn more about S mode here.
For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features.
What Are the Requirements and How Do You Get Windows 11?
Windows 11 launched on Oct.5 2021. At first, the upgrade is coming to recent and new PCs, and then it will be offered free to Windows 10 systems on a rolling basis, based on validated hardware configurations. The rollout will be complete by mid-2022. The most recent survey from AdDuplex (January 2022) showed that Windows 11 is in use on 16% of computers which is not insignificant, considering 1.3 billion devices run Windows.
Pricing hasn't been announced for non-upgrades—that is, DIY PC builds, virtual machine installations, or non-Windows 10 computers. I expect pricing for standalone licenses to remain as they were for Windows 10—$139.99 for Home and $199.99 for Pro editions—but there's still no info from Microsoft on such an option, even after the Windows 11 launch.
Much has been made over the system requirements for Windows 11, but they're very low: 1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. A 64-bit processor will be required; there's no longer a 32-bit version of the OS. You'll also need a computer with a TPM security chip and Secure Boot capability. Those are less of a problem than the internet is making them out to be, as they've been standard on most PCs for the last six or so years. The real limiter is the CPU model, which needs to be from about the last four years. Microsoft recently rereleased the tool that assesses your PC's ability to run Windows 11, the PC health app, and the company announced that more PCS will be able to upgrade to it.
Feature-specific requirements for Windows 11:
Some features in Windows 11 have increased requirements beyond those listed above in the minimum requirements section. Below are some additional details regarding requirements for key features:
Windows Subsystem for Android Apps available at Amazon Appstore. Additional requirements anticipated and will be communicated as the product is rolled out to select geographies.
5G support: requires 5G capable modem where available.
Auto HDR: requires an HDR monitor.
BitLocker to Go: requires a USB flash drive (available in Windows Pro and above editions).
Client Hyper-V: requires a processor with second level address translation (SLAT) capabilities (available in Windows Pro and above editions).
Cortana: requires a microphone and speaker and is currently available on Windows 11 for Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States.
DirectStorage: requires an NVMe SSD to store and run games that use the Standard NVM Express Controller driver and a DirectX12 GPU with Shader Model 6.0 support.
DirectX 12 Ultimate: it is available with supported games and graphics chips.
Presence: requires sensor that can detect human distance from device or intent to interact with device.
Intelligent Video Conferencing: requires video camera, microphone, and speaker (audio output).
Multiple Voice Assistant (MVA): requires a microphone and speaker.
Snap: three-column layouts requires a screen that is 1920 effective pixels or greater in width.
Mute/Unmute from Taskbar: requires video camera, microphone, and speaker (audio output). App must be compatible with feature to enable global mute/unmute.
Spatial Sound: requires supporting hardware and software.
Microsoft Teams requires video camera, microphone, and speaker (audio output).
Touch: requires a screen or monitor that supports multi-touch.
Two-factor Authentication: requires use of PIN, biometric (fingerprint reader or illuminated infrared camera), or a phone with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities.
Voice Typing: requires a PC with a microphone.
Wake on Voice: requires Modern Standby power model and microphone.
Wi-Fi 6E: requires new WLAN IHV hardware and driver and a Wi-Fi 6E capable AP/router.
Windows Hello: requires a camera configured for near infrared (IR) imaging or fingerprint reader for biometric authentication. Devices without biometric sensors can use Windows Hello with a PIN or portable Microsoft compatible security key.
Windows Projection: requires a display adapter which supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 2.0 and a Wi-Fi adapter that supports Wi-Fi Direct.
Xbox (app): requires an Xbox Live account, which is not available in all regions. See Xbox Live Countries and Regions for the most up-to-date information on availability. Some features in the Xbox app will require an active Xbox Game Pass subscription (sold separately). Learn more about the pass.
All in all, Microsoft Win 11 is an ideal OS that offers all the glorious features to make your IT experience secure, safe and more productive.
Windows 11: First things to do
Windows 11 has a brand new out-of-box experience, which walks you through setup. Gone is the old Cortana-driven installer, and in its place is a clean and simplistic design that takes you through setting up Windows 11 with ease. That said, Microsoft has made some policy changes here that you need to know about.
For the first time, Microsoft is making it mandatory for PCs with Windows 11 Home to be signed in with a Microsoft Account and connected to Wi-Fi during the out-of-box experience. I don't find this to be much of a big deal, as I actually like the integration and benefits you get with signing into a Microsoft Account. However, I know there are many people out there who refuse to use one, and this is going to be a problem for those people.
Once you're up and running on Windows 11, the first thing you need to do is head to the Microsoft Store app and check for updates to ensure that you have the latest versions of all the pre-installed Windows 11 apps. Once that's done, you should also head to Windows Update in the new Settings app and check for updates there to ensure you have the latest drivers designed for Windows 11.

Sarajevo Festival Explores the Consequences of War
Erna Mackic BIRN Sarajevo
The three-day WARM Festival in Sarajevo is exhibiting photographs and screening films about wars throughout the world and the issues of ethnic divisions, the refugee crisis and discrimination against minorities.
The fifth annual WARM Festival opened in the Bosnian capital on Wednesday, presenting images and films about conflicts around the world, as well as about the tragic consequences of the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia.
Issues like refugees, ethnic divisions and discrimination against minorities are also being examined at the festival, which is run by a foundation called WARM (War, Art, Reporting, Memories) that was set up by a group of journalists and artists, many of whom visited Sarajevo during the 1990s siege of the city.
"It is all reflected through the themes being dealt with, like refugees, such as the exhibition of photographs of the Rohingya, which is about the exodus of more than a million refugees in Bangladesh," the president of the WARM Foundation, Remy Ourdan, said at the festival opening in Sarajevo.
"This year in particular, just like in previous years, the Syrian war is being dealt with through four movies about the tragic consequences of the war that is still going on," he added.
Some 350 works by around 200 image-makers from the Balkans and the rest of the world will be exhibited at the city's Historical Museum and Sarajevo Storage, which is part of the National Gallery.
The Bosnian manager of the WARM Foundation, Velma Saric, said the issue of the denial of wartime crimes and genocide will be highlighted by the screening of a short film called 'Why are You Not Here?' by Aida Sehovic, the creator of a travelling memorial composed of empty coffee cups.
Saric said that in collaboration with the WARM Festival's new partner, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, a one-day seminar will be held on the educational segregation of pupils in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where schoolchildren from different ethnic groups are sometimes taught separately in the same building, a practice known as 'two schools under one roof'.
"Then we shall also have a panel discussion on endangered human rights of minority populations, in this case the Roma people," Saric added.
Adnan Pavlovic, director of the festival's film programme, said all the movies which will be screened this year were produced in 2017 and represent "the freshest display of the documentary scene dealing with post-conflict issues".
Pavlovic cited Matthew Millan's film 'Stronger than Bullets', about the role of music during the 2011 Libyan revolution, as well as Srdjan Sarenac's film about Bosnian educational segregation, 'Two Schools under One Roof'.

Diary of Andrew Bloxam, Naturalist of The "Blonde" On Her Trip from England to the Hawaiian Islands 1824-25.
Bernice P. Bishop Museum Special Publication Volume 10.
Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, 1925.
The Blonde, under the command of Captain George Anson Byron, was sent to Hawaii in 1825 to return the bodies of King Kamehameha II (Liholiho) and Queen Kamamalu, both of whom had died of measles, aged 28 and 22 respectively, while visiting England.
Amoung the Hawaiian party were Boki, and his wife Kuini Liliha (1802—1839), who was noted for her surfing skills.
Boki (before 1785–after December 1829) was a High Chief in the ancient Hawaiian tradition and served the Kingdom of Hawaii as royal governor of the island of Oahu.
The ship's chaplin was Richard Rowland Bloxam, who was a contributor to the the first published account of the voyage in 1826.
His brother, Andrew Bloxam, was one of the expedition's naturalists and his diary was published in 1925.
Extracts from the diary of Scottish botanist, James Mcrae, was published three years earlier in 1922.
Robert Dampier joined the Blonde in Rio de Janeiro, serving as artist and draftsman, his diary published in 1971.
"The ship left Spithead, England on 28 September 1824.
Following a call at Madeira, they reached Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 27 November 1824.
After spending time both in Rio de Janeiro and St Catherine's, they left Brazil on 1 January 1825, bound for Valparaíso, Chile, which they reached on 4 February 1825.
They sailed north up the coast to reach Callao, Peru, on 16 March 1825, before sailing west to the Galapagos Islands, where they remained from 25 March to 3 April 1825.
The Blonde arrived in the Hawaiian Islands (then known as the Sandwich Islands) on 4 May 1825.
The party remained in the Hawaiian Islands from 4 May to 18 July 1825.
They left planning to go to Tahiti, but actually landed first at Malden Island on 30 July 1825 and then at Mauke in the Cook Islands on 8 August 1825, before returning to Valparaíso, which they reached on 6 September 1825.
The voyage ended back in Spithead, England on 15 March 1826, after an absence of 532 days. [McCrae, 1922]"
Voyage of H. M. S. Blonde to the Sandwich islands, in the years 1824-1825.
John Murray, Albemable Street, London. 1826.
"This work is frequently catalogued under some combination of Bloxam, Byron and Callcott.
Only Byron's name appears on the title page, although he does not appear to have contributed to the work in any way.
R.R. Bloxam is credited in the introduction.
Callcott's surname at the time was Graham."
The brief surfboard description is a footnote to the surfriding activities of Liliah, the wife of Boki, a member of the royal household returning to Hawaii, page 97.
"May 3rd 1825 ... Her fame, as being the best swimmer, and one, who would go thro' a heavy surf, before any of her less daring Companions, is universally acknowledged."
- Dampier: Voyage of the Blonde (1971) page 30.
Note that in both cases, her reputation preceeds the arrival of the Blonde in Hawaiian waters.
Dampier and Bloxam both refer to Liliah as Madam Boki.
Byron's comments on several Hawaiian water sports - waterfall sliding, cliff jumping and jurfriding (page 166).
There is a brief description of Hawaiian woodworking skills (pages 137-138) and of Polynesian (Cook Island) canoes and their skill in negotiating difficult surf conditions follows (pages 209-209).
Bryon met the noted missionaries of the period, Ellis and Bingham on his visit to Hawaii (page 148), and the Blonde transported Stewart between two islands.
1825 Lord Byron : Liliah and Floatboards.
With Lord Byron at the Sandwich Islands in 1825 : being extracts from the MS diary of James Macrae, Scottish botanist.
Macrae has only one brief reference to the aquatic sports of the Hawaiians.
Page 20. Bathing The Chief Amusement Bathing is their chief amusement and alone induces many of the higher ranks of them to leave their houses, where they spend most of their time sitting or lying down asleep on mats.
But the whole tribe is so fond of bathing that the sea shore is seldom seen without numbers of both sexes swimming with perfect ease, as if some species of aquatic creatures.

1825 Robert Dampier : Sandwich Islands.
"Admiral George Anson Byron, 7th Baron Byron (8 March 1789 – 1 March 1868) was a British naval officer, and the seventh Baron Byron, in 1824 succeeding his cousin the poet George Gordon Byron in that peerage.
As a career naval officer, he was notable for being his predecessor's opposite in temperament and lifestyle.
He was the only son of George Anson Byron and Charlotte Henrietta Dallas, and grandson of the admiral and explorer The Hon. John Byron, who circumnavigated the world with George Anson in 1740-44."
Ship's chaplin and elder brother of Andrew Bloxam.
"... an English clergyman and naturalist; in his later life he had a particular interest in botany.
He was the naturalist on board HMS Blonde (his brother Rowland Bloxam was the chaplain) during its voyage around South America and the Pacific in 1824–26, where he collected mainly birds.
Later as a Church of England minister he lived in Warwickshire and Leicestershire and made significant contributions to the study of the natural history of the area.
His special interest was in fungi and the genera Rubus and Rosa.
His botanical author abbreviation is 'A.Bloxam'.
On returning to England, Dampier, like fellow mariner Andrew Bloxam, became a clergyman.
He was a High Chief in the ancient Hawaiian tradition and served the Kingdom of Hawaii as royal governor of the island of Oahu.
Liliha: the wife of Boki, companion to Kamehamaru on his visit to England in 1820?
She was occassionally refered to as "Madame Boki".
Extracts from John Byron in Hawkesworth: Voyages in the Southern Hemisphere, (1773), Volume 1?
Extract from The Mid-Pacific Magazine, Volume 2, Number 2, August,1911, frontpiece.
Boki (sometimes Poki, born Kam??ule?ule} (before 1785–after December 1829) was a High Chief in the ancient Hawaiian tradition and served the Kingdom of Hawaii as royal governor of the island of Oahu. Boki also encouraged the Hawaiians to gather sandalwood for trade, and ran a mercantile and shipping business.
Boki was appointed Royal Governor of Oahu and chief of the Wai?anae District by Kamehameha I, and continued in his post under Kamehameha I's son Kamehameha II.
Boki and his wife Kuini Liliha (1802—1839) were leading members of the delegation to England when King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamamalu contracted measles and died. Returning with Admiral Lord Byron to the Hawaiian Islands aboard the British frigate, HMS Blonde, bearing the bodies of the King and Queen, the ship stopped at Brazil and obtained several coffee trees that in turn were the Arabica strain originating from the plateaus of Ethiopia. Upon his return, he gave the trees to ex-West Indies settler and agriculturalist, John Wilkinson, to plant on the Chief's land in Oahu's M?noa Valley, but was never able to cultivate the trees for commercial production.
He later tried to profit from the fame of the voyage, and moved a wood frame house inland and opened a store and inn called the Blonde Hotel. He became unpopular with local missionaries because he sold liquor in his stores. He stocked his bar with cheap but bad wine, saying it was good enough for visiting sailors. Like his other business ventures, it was not profitable to himself, but perhaps was to his employees. One of them claimed the building in the 1830s, calling it the "Boki House".
oki, himself, was not completely averse to change and had immersed himself in the sandalwood trading business after the restrictions on the tree placed by Kamehameha I was no longer in force. He grew rich, like many other chiefs, but the chiefs' lack of understanding of financial concepts caused him to become deeply indebted by 1829. When word reached him that New Hebrides, a faraway group of South Pacific islands, was heavily forested in sandalwood, he pulled together a fleet of two ships and set sail. It is known that he reached Rotuma in 1827 and also called at Erromanga however when he failed to return to Hawaii it was assumed that he had perished at sea.
Despite the Hawaiian belief that he died during his sandalwood expedition, there is evidence that Boki was alive and well in Samoa in the year 1830. According to Marques' 1893 report, Boki's ship was wrecked in 1830 near Iva on the Samoan island of Savai?i where he rallied under the banner of the ambitious Samoan chief, Malietoa Vaiinupo. The Hawaiian embassy delegation sent to Samoa by King Kalakaua in 1886 learned that the two Prussian cannons from Boki's ships were indeed still to be found in Iva village along with "many of his descendants".
At seven this morning the island of Owhyhee (Hawaii) broke indistinctly on our sight.
About eight a fine breeze sprang up which in an hour brought us to within three or four miles of the most easterly part of the island; this is a long, low point and near it but more to the northward the ground is thrown up and disturbed apparently by volcanic agency, as we could plainly distinguish several large craters, some time however must have elapsed since they were in action as several coconut and other trees and shrubs were observed growing on their sides and edges.
Mauna Kaah was completely obscured from our sight by the same cause.

"Liliah had been accounted one of the best swimmers in the island, and was particularly dexterous in launching her float-board* through the heaviest surf,"
- Byron: Voyage of the Blonde (1826) page 97.
Liliaha is identified as Madame Boki in Bloxam's diary and Dampier's account.
All the canoes we saw were single, extremely neat and well made, several carrying six or eight men.
They are very narrow, scarcely affording room to crush into, some in the broadest part not exceeding 12 inches.
They are about 2 feet deep, and all possessed an outrigger and mat sail.
The outrigger consists of a strong piece of very light wood, in a curved form and placed at a distance of about 6 feet from the canoe and nearly of the same length.
It is united to the canoe near the two ends, by two other stout pieces of wood bending over in a curved form.
On these two pieces the sail when not used is placed.
They row very fast with their broad paddles and easily keep up with the ship when going moderately.
They are often upset in them, but being excellent swimmers, they soon right them and bale out the water.
Those we saw are about 16 to 18 feet long.
The men in the canoes are wholly naked with the exception of their mayo, or girdle wound round their loins, which is a strip about a foot broad and nine feet long.
Several had their hair dyed in a fanciful manner a white color by means, it is said, of lime.
One of the canoes brought a pig and a quantity of poe (native food made from the taro root mashed) for the Sandwichers.
In the evening the two ship's boats returned, and from their statement it appears to be a most eligible and safe harbour where plenty of water can be procured without any trouble.
Having dismissed the canoes and hoisted up the boats we made sail about 6 p.m. for Mowee, 75 miles distant, where we touch on our way to Woahoo, the ultimate destination of the bodies.
The country about Aheedoo appears much like a park in England, everything is green and verdant with numerous trees scattered about, and here and there a romantic waterfall, upon the whole we are delighted with its appearance.
Laaina (Laihaina) is situated on the western side of Mowee opposite Ranai, and is protected from most winds by the situation of the surrounding islands, the town extends along the shore in a straggling manner for about a mile and a half, the huts being intermingled with coconut, breadfruit, and other trees.
Immediately behind the town are numerous patches of cultivated ground.
I counted about seven hundred huts and I should judge there were nearly a thousand; the populace seemed to be great.
... plaster on the outside, which compared with the huts made it look like a palace.
The missionary church is a long; low, straw shed with a half dozen open windows here and there, placed without any regularity; dogs, goats, fowl and pigs are numerous.
We could see quantities of people on shore looking at us and collecting together in circles.
A reef prevented our boats getting on shore so early as we wished, it being low water at the time.
We anchored in nine and three-quarters fathoms and the water was so clear that we could with the greatest distinctness see the bottom, being near sixty feet deep, it appeared to be hard coral and sandy ground.
Soon after breakfast I went on shore taking with me a few articles for the purpose of bartering.
Lord Byron had gone a short time before, and as I walked through the village I joined him at the late king's house where we found a number of people sitting, Boki, Madame Boki, her father, a sister of Rio Rio, the late king, and several other chiefs.
The house was like a large thatched barn, but very neatly built and put together, the door which was large was the only opening and consequently admitted the only light.
The interior consisted of one large room furnished with several chairs, a sofa, and quantities of mats, some covering the floor, others placed to the number of twenty or thirty, one upon the other (the coarser kind at the bottom and the finest mat at the top). These formed their beds or couches when they sat or lay down.
... of sandalwood logs lay at the extremity of the room, and the walls were hung with surf boards and canoes placed against them. The end of the room on the right hand was separated from the other part by a low fence of canes.
This was probably their kitchen.
We were invited to enter and sit down, and as we conversed, every now and then a tobacco pipe was passed round for each to take a whiff and pass it to, his neighbor.
A native sat and fanned Madame Boki's father, who appeared to be the principal person there, at the same time holding his. spitting box, which was neatly carved out of some hard and handsome wood.
...I slept in a house close to the landing place, belonging to Queen Kaahumanu, built in the European fashion but without any chimney.
... yards of the sea we enjoyed bathing very much.
It had four very good rooms, two on the ground floor and two above, the latter sleeping rooms.
A native hut served as our kitchen.
Lord Byron and Dampier slept in one room, myself, brother, and Davis in the other.
I walked along shore towards the bay of Whyteete to see if I could procure any shells, but I found none worth picking up.
The whole distance to the village of Whyteete is taken up with innumerable artificial fishponds extending a mile inland from the shore, in these the fish taken by nets in the sea are put, and though most of the ponds are fresh water, yet the fish seem to thrive and fatten.
... to the chiefs, and are caught as wanted.
The ponds are several hundred in number and are the resort of wild ducks and other water fowl.
I found it very difficult to get out of the labyrinth of paths which lead among them.
Whyteete is about four miles east of Honoruru.
It is pleasantly situated and built along the shore among numerous groves of coconut and other trees, and in this respect far better than Honoruru, as scarcely any trees are to be found there.
Diamond hill, the southeast point of the island, is about two miles beyond.
It is lofty, insulated, and appears to have been the crater of an extinct volcano.
It took its name from some crystals having been found there, which were at first mistaken for diamonds. ...Near one of its sides are the remaining walls of an old morai or temple; the sea washes its base and hence it forms a good landmark for ships.
As we approached the sea our further progress was arrested by a number of taro ponds, and as we could not approach the shore without going far round, we gave it up and returned to the hut where we intended to sleep.
There was only one'door to it about two feet high and no window, or other aperture.
In the middle of the hut was a hole about a foot deep which served as a fireplace, the smoke escaping through the low door and roof as it could.
Along the roof hung a machine something in the form of a sledge, we found that the natives use it for sliding down the hills, a very common but somewhat dangerous amusement.
It consists of two pieces of wood about twelve feet long, turned up at the end like a pair of skates, they are about two inches in depth and three-quarters of an inch in thickness; cross pieces join them toge!her at about a distance of four or five inches and upon these a kind of matting is fixed for the sup- port of the body, rising from the sledge part about six inches and of the same breadth.
The method of using it is this: they take it, and hold it perpendicularly before them with the turned up part uppermost, they then run and coming to the brow of the hill, suddenly throw themselves upon it head downward and are borne along to the bottom with the greatest rapidity.
But it requires much skill in the management and accidents frequently occur from its turning over and the possessor of it told me that the last time he used it he had much hurt himself and nearly broken his neck.
Remained on board all day.
After divine service Kaukini, Governor of Owhyhee, came to pay Lord Byron a visit.
He is one of the largest men in the island, weighing twenty-eight stone.
In the evening the men bathed, having a skidding sail placed over the side for those who could not swim, in the midst of it we were suddenly alarmed by hearing that the whaleboat had been upset in the surf going into the harbor. ... A great swell had rendered the surf higher than usual today; but it frequently is dangerous, the mouth of the harbor being so narrow.
Rode on horseback by Whyteete to Diamond Hill, at the former place I observed the natives diverting themselves in the heavy surf with their swimming boards, or "epappa's" as they are called.
I procured a quantity of small cowry shells of a common sort and about an inch in length, for a few needles.
Employed preserving birds; the ants, I find, make sad ravages with them.
I procured today for a dollar two very old and curious carved idols, or native gods, one of which I presented to Lord Byron, the other is now in the Oxford Museum.
The climate is now very delightful, particularly in the morning and evening, the midday being rather too warm.
We usually have a few refreshing showers early in the morning which lay the dust and render it pleasant the rest of the day, We enjoy sea bathing very much, it generally being the first thing when we turn out of bed in the morning, and before we retire at night, I am usually occupied in the day time by excursions into the interior; the surgeon is engaged in attending the chiefs and their wives, who seem to be very fond of taking his pills; the artist is sketching and taking portraits of the young King and Queen; and Lord Byron and my brother, in visiting Karaimoku and the other principal chiefs, gaining information of them respecting the islands and talking political subjects, etc.
Went on shore early this morning and took a walk among the environs of Waikea, as this village in the district of Aheedoo is called. The harbour is a large deep bay open to the north, but protected from heavy weather by a coral reef running out from a small island named Coconut Island, nearly across the bay, leaving a deep passage of half a mile broad on the left hand shore coming in.
The latitude of Lord Byron's house was 19 degrees 43 minutes 90 seconds north.
The taro is cultivated here in great quantities, not in ponds as at Woahoo but on dry land, the Pandanus or screw pine, Malacca apple, plaintains and bananas are common, as well as the other forementioned fruits.
A small one may be procured for six or seven dollars and a good sized one for fifteen or sixteen dollars.
The midshipmen procured' one of a larger size, in which they used to amuse themselves, it was rather unsafe, as I experienced myself in having been upset in it with three others.
"I measured one of their double canoes and found it to be 52 feet long and 3 feet deep."- Editor.
I was going on shore in a canoe with Lieut. Gambier, Mr. Gooch, and Smyth, midshipman.
The two former had double barrel and I my single barrel gun.
We had not gone more than 50 yards from the ship, when owing to our leaning too much on one side it upset and all our guns went to the bottom.
Smyth was the only one who could not swim so I immediately jumped on the bottom of the canoe and pulled him on it.
The others swam to a boat moored a little way off and waited until assistance came from the ship.
We lost our guns in six fathoms water, but thinking they might be recovered by diving, I went to Queen Kaahumanu and she immediately sent for six of the most expert divers in the village, with whom I proceeded in a double canoe to point out the spot, having promised them certain rewards for procuring the guns.
They all stood on the edge of the canoes, and made a dive altogether some staying under a space of two minutes.
Nothing was brought up the first time; the third time Mr. Gooch's double barrel, and the fifth time my own were found, but they did not succeed in procuring the other which was the most valuable.
They dived in all seven times, taking proper rest between each.
They were all well rewarded, but the person who brought up both guns received in addition a knife, file, fishhooks, etc.
In the evening I went with Lord Byron in his double canoe which the Queen had assigned to him, as his gig was being repaired.
We proceeded to the watering place, where are two picturesque falls, one of more than 20 feet, with a rock in the middle separating the water into two channels.
We were amused here by a number of children from eight to twelve years of age, suffering themselves to be carried down this fall, feet foremost and swimming out some distance below.
Almost all the native children from six years upward can swim, water seems, in fact, to be their native element as they are constantly dabbling in it.
A large party consisting of about two hundred natives came in from the district of Puna bringing tribute and presents to Kaahumanu consisting of tapas, mats, and provisions.
Their approach was extremely pretty, as they walked in a line one by one, each carrying a bundle, and winding round the side of the river.
Numbers came in the two succeeding days also, bringing presents.
The magic lantern was shown to a big audience of natives who were greatly surprised and delighted at the changeable figures.
We also set off some rockets, and a paper air balloon, but the latter caught fire almost immediately and falling on Lord Byron's grass house was near setting it in flames.
These days were very fine, showers of rain generally fell of a night, which cleared up as morning dawned, and at sunrise Mouna Kaah and Roa were almost always visible, the former presenting a very beautiful sight, as we could see the rays of the sun shining upon its summit several minutes before they reached us.
... We had most excellent bathing here, as Lord Byron's house was situated close to a fresh water river at its exit into the sea, so that we could enjoy either fresh water or sea bathing as we pleased.
Kaahumanu had assigned a large new grass ,house to his Lordship, the bottom was covered with mats, and a small portion taken off at one end for his Lordship's bed.
At the three other corners Mr. Dampier, Davis and I slept in our cots slung up, and my brother next to Lord Byron.
We had tables, chairs, and cooking apparatus, were well supplied by the Queen with fish, fowls, pork, kid, and vegetables, and though all living together in one large room, enjoyed ourselves very much.
I used to spend my time shooting, making excursions into the woods, and paddling in the canoes.
We had heard much of a volcano of extraordinary size, and were most desirous of seeing it, a large party therefore was formed for making the journey.
This morning we were about four miles from the western or lee side of the island.
We could distinguish with our telescopes several canoes with very high peaked sterns.
We therefore lay to and soon after a small canoe with one man in it (having on some tapa and a round straw hat); came alongside with much confidence, and ascended by the ropes to the quarter deck. He had evidently seen ships and Europeans before from his dress and manner of behavior. We addressed him in the Sandwich Island language and made out the name of the island to be Mauti [Mauiki or Mauke, one of the Cook Islands].
I was permitted to go in the cutter and took my gun with me in case of meeting with any curious birds.
After a long row we approached the landing place, but found it impossible from the heavy surf for any of our own boats to attempt landing.
We therefore got into one of the native double canoes, and a careful opportunity of the sea being watched we were carried on a coral rock about a foot under water and thence conveyed on the shoulders of the natives about forty or fifty yards to dry land.
... of the island for a distance of thirty or forty yards from the shore and a heavy surf is constantly breaking upon it, even on the lee side of the island where we were.
There were about twenty canoes altogether, and about forty natives waited our arrival on the beach.
And yet no signs of houses were seen, nothing but a road neatly paved with coral and forming an opening through the wood.
We walked along through the wood a short distance, we suddenly came to an opening where we found several canoes, some in the building and others quite finished.
Among the former were two immense ones nearly seventy feet in length, each formed out of two trees, very neatly joined and united in the middle vertically by means of a very strong native-made rope.
The sterns of these were raised to a height of twelve or fourteen feet.
We afterwards understood that the two, forming a double canoe, were intended for the purpose of communicating between the different islands, of which this group is composed.
After we had passed beyond these, we proceeded through the woods, in which we found some trees of an immense magnitude- twenty-six or twenty-seven feet in circumference of the age I should suppose of several centuries.

Dear Sir, I was heartened to read Anne Kay's article on June 6th regarding the problems disabled people have at Palma airport and to find that I was not alone in having problems with wheelchairs at the airport.
Twice in the last 13 months, my elderly mother, who cannot walk any distance, has travelled alone from Glasgow to visit us in Majorca. Each time she has had many wheelchair problems at Palma airport. Having been taken off the plane in a wheelchair she has then been turfed out of it once she enters the airport buildings and is left to her own devices to find her way and collect her luggage. She has arrived absolutely exhausted and distressed.
The first time she got completely lost and we had to send out a search party for her.
Yesterday on her departure from Palma there was once again no wheelchairs available on arrival at the airport. If she had been alone there is absolutely no way she could have stood in a long queue to check in or have walked to the check in desk from where she was dropped off.
There must be many disabled and elderly people who travel to Majorca on there own. Can the Bulletin start some sort of campaign or use your influence in some way to improve the conditions at the airport for these people?

Ceallaigh Anderson Smart's photos are cherished gifts to those she meets, many of whom don't have a single photograph of themselves.
If every picture tells a story, then it is the untold stories that Ceallaigh Anderson Smart is out to find.
The Robbinsdale mother and amateur photographer runs a charity with an unusual focus: traveling to impoverished countries to make photo portraits of people who don't have any pictures of their own.
"One way to love people is through a photograph," said Anderson Smart, who founded the "Print the Love" charity three years ago.
The idea first came to her five years ago while she was in Rwanda working for a nonprofit organization. One day, she grabbed her camera and headed out to take pictures of some neighborhood kids she'd met. She was struck by how curious they were to see what they looked like in the digital display on the back of her camera.
Most of the kids did not own a single photograph of themselves. There was not one baby photo or class picture and, certainly, no selfies. Not only were they without their own pictures, but they also didn't have any photos of relatives or friends.
She returned to Rwanda a year later with an instant camera and a goal: to hand out 1,000 instant photos in 10 days.
The response was immediate and affirming. People cherished their photos and she quickly met her goal.
Today, Print the Love (printthelove.org) volunteers armed with Polaroid cameras travel to some of the poorest nations, where they visit schools, hospitals, and orphanages.
So far, Anderson Smart has led groups to Rwanda, Nepal and Bolivia. Her next trip — to Cambodia — is scheduled for November.
The snapshots they take capture a moment in time, but they do something more, Anderson Smart explains. They help record a person's life.
"It's really, really cool to just say that you were important, you were here on earth, and this is something personal," Anderson Smart said.
With time, such personal photos become even more precious.
"If you talk to anyone and ask them, 'What would you take with you if your house was burning down?,' they will tell you that they would take their pictures," Anderson Smart said.
Though she's not a trained photographer, pictures have always interested her. She studied art therapy, and outdoor and adventure education in college. She's married to a photographer and has a brother who is a filmmaker. A development manager at a local nonprofit serving the elderly, she volunteers for Print the Love.
She approaches her photography with a humanitarian's eye, hoping to forge a connection with the person on the other side of the lens.
Among her most memorable interactions was one she had with a homeless man with few possessions. When they met, he reached into his pocket and pulled out two crumpled, wallet-sized photographs — one of himself looking much younger and dressed in formal attire, and the other, of him with someone else.
"He was so excited about getting another photograph of where he's been on his journey of life," Anderson Smart recalled.
Not once has she received a negative reaction from someone she's approached, she says, though some people do decline.
She reassures those she meets that the picture is for them, not her. She does not keep a copy.
Sometimes the photos serve a greater purpose beyond sentimental value.
She was once invited to a school, where officials were unable to offer students a class picture. They told her that if children get lost or stolen, there is no photographic record available to help find them.

"Osservatorio", Prada's Resort 2018 collection was exhibited in Milan, where designer Miuccia Prada showcased transparent silk garments contrasted with statement belts and detailing. Pairing these delicate tops and dresses with knee high sport socks reigned in an element of sporty street style, a look that (let's be honest) could only be worn on the runway or fashion week.
This transparent trend has also been worn on the streets of fashion week, with bloggers and celebrities donning the style to create a daring, fun outfit. Pairing it with prints, bold block colours and even layering the garments has proven to be an effective way to wear a transparent garment.
Have a go at wearing this style with the Boston Jacket in blush, layer it over a simple cami and shorts and pair with sneakers. The organza adds another dimension to your outfit through its texture and baring style.

Christina Applegate Partners with Gilt.com in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
NEW YORK, Oct 12, 2011/ — In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Gilt has partnered with actress and breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate on a sale filled with inspiring styles from head to toe.
But what we're most inspired by is Christina's grace in not only beating the disease herself, but using her enormous star power to help other women get educated about the disease. Through her foundation, Right Action for Women, the "Up All Night" star provides information on early screening and detection, treatment options, and empowerment for those afflicted.
Applegate tells Gilt, "The reason I started Right Action for Women was to get the word out that this doesn't just happen to women who are over 55…I was 36 years old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The reason that I was able to beat it was by early detection and that was by the smarts of my doctor, who said, 'Mammograms are not for you; we're going to do an MRI.' An MRI can find breast cancer many years before a mammogram can. That's something that I learned, and that I didn't know about until I found out in my own life."
And the actress reminds that you can take matters into your hands—literally. "Early detection is key. Breast health is key. It's to know your body, to be able to do self-examinations, to talk to your doctor if you know that you have a history in your family on either side," she explains.
"I remember that when my mother was going through cancer, she always said to me, 'Cancer is a word, not a sentence,' Applegate tells Gilt. "And I know that there are women who come to this at different stages of cancer, but if we can wrap our heads around the idea that it's not who you are—you are not cancer, and cancer does not own you; it's a word and not a sentence—you can start there in your fight, and take your power back. Educate yourself. And try everything—from Eastern to Western medicine, everything you can—to take control back."
Learn more at http://www.rightactionforwomen.org/ and shop Christina's inspired sale beginning October 12 at noon ET on www.gilt.com.

Southern Pacific Maintenance Building
From: "Mike Polk" mpolk@sagebrushconsultants.com
I am continuing my research on Central Pacific/Southern Pacific Maintenance camps and the Chinese connection. I have several questions which I hope someone out there may be able to provide some clarity on. I have found what appears to be a surplus maintenance building along the line in western Nevada and want to determine if it may actually date from the years of Central Pacific operations. The building is a one story, side gable structure with a low pitch, tar paper roof with exposed rafter tails. It is about 16 x 18 ft in size and clad in 4 x 8 plywood sheets. That alone suggests post 1920's construction, but it is possible that the plywood was added at a later date. It has one opening on one of the short sides, though it is possible that the opposite end had windows or a door and has since been covered with plywood. The end with an opening is entirely open with the upper portion framed in with angled gable trim. The interior seems to be open frame of 2 x 4's, with no insulation and no interior walls. It is possible that the building was originally used as a hand car building, bunkhouse or tool shed. It is now off the railroad and used to store irrigation pipe by an adjacent business.
1. Is there information about when the Central Pacific began building its standard plan structures at station stops along the route from Ogden to Sacramento? It seems, from my sources, that by 1880 buildings at station stops were in place and of uniform design, including bunkhouses, cook houses, tool sheds, hand car shacks, etc.
2. When did the SP begin to change paint colors from the Box Car Red used by Central Pacific to Colonial Yellow used by Southern Pacific? I don't know for a fact that CPRR used Box Car Red, but have been told that by well informed railroad historians in Utah and actually saw dark red painted lettering on portions of former Promontory roundhouse walls. The roundhouse was demolished around 1913, but portions have been preserved as part of a rancher's barn. I note in a CPRR Discussion Group post from 2006 that the new SP color scheme seems to have begun on the Salt Lake Division around the Harriman era of the early 1900s. It also indicates that common plans between SP and UP were started about 1904. The building that I am speaking about is painted in SP Colonial Yellow. It's certainly possible that it was re-painted to that color in later years, but then again, it is possible that it is a much newer building and dates from the early 20th Century.
Any thoughts would be of value. Thank you.

Provincial Politics
Education Minister Stephen Lecce 'condemns' motion by Toronto Catholic trustee to add pedophilia, bestiality to debate on inclusivity
Board flooded with complaints after vice-chair Michael Del Grande tried to add lengthy list of sexual behaviours to the board's code of conduct, ranging from criminal to bizarre: bestiality, pedophilia, sadism, vampirism and attractions to stuffed animals, mannequins, insects, flatulence and vomit.
By Kristin RushowyQueen's Park Bureau
Mon., Nov. 25, 2019timer3 min. read
Education Minister Stephen Lecce has condemned a proposal by the vice-chair of the Toronto Catholic board that would have added a number of sexual behaviours — including bestiality, pedophilia and attraction to stuffed animals — to the code of conduct.
The board was in the process of updating its code, as required by the Ministry of Education and human rights law, to add protection from discrimination based on gender identity and expression, and family and marital status, when Michael Del Grande brought forward his 12-page amendment listing the bizarre — and in some cases, criminal — acts.
"I find the comments made by the trustee to be quite unacceptable and quite disturbing, actually," Lecce said Monday at Queen's Park.
Lecce said the board's own internal processes will continue, but he "will make it clear that the government finds those comments unacceptable in this province, for any child who already feels victimized or stigmatized in the classroom."
He said not including gender identity and expression as prohibited grounds for discrimination "is not an item that is for discussion, and so we will look to the board to demonstrate leadership and consider the options they have before them."
"For myself," he added, "I will just add my voice in condemnation of that language."
Del Grande, however, in a text message to the Star, said "with all due respect to Minister Lecce, it is clear that he does not understand that Catholic school boards in Ontario have the constitutional right ... to reject any government mandate which would require a Catholic school board to contradict the religious beliefs of the Catholic church."
The former Toronto city councillor said "that's what I was doing — protecting our religious schools from a secular ideology that is totally at odds with the Christian faith."
Del Grande said Lecce — who attended Catholic elementary and secondary schools — "does not seem to appreciate that Catholic schools are a faith-based system and that trustees have fiduciary obligation to keep our Catholic schools authentically Catholic, which is precisely what I was trying to do by illustrating to my colleagues that they must not vote for ideas that undermine our Christian faith."
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath called on Lecce to urge Del Grande to resign.
"It may be that the minister doesn't have the capacity to have that person removed, but he should make it very, very clear that that person should be resigning from his role," Horwath told reporters. "That is completely unacceptable — it is beyond the pale when it comes to using that kind of opportunity to try to link the LGBTQ community with these kinds of things."
"It's shameful," she also said. "It's a disgrace and I'm shocked that the minister has not asked for this trustee to do the right thing and step down."
At a Nov. 7 meeting, Del Grande introduced an amendment listing a number of unusual and offensive sexual practices, and has argued he was demonstrating how trustees were on a "slippery slope" by including gender identity. It was ruled out of order.
Some have come out in support of Del Grande, with one writing to Toronto Catholic District School Board trustees that he and a handful of other trustees "voted to uphold Christian teaching."
Current Chair Maria Rizzo said she was "disgusted" and noted the board had received scores of complaints. An online petition calling for Del Grande to be removed now has more than 1,500 signatures.
Complaints flood Catholic school board over trustee's bid to add pedophilia, bestiality to debate on inclusivity
Michael Del Grande is out of order on human rights
However, Del Grande cannot be forced to leave.
At the meeting, the four new terms — which had the approval of the Archdiocese of Toronto — were ultimately added to the code of conduct.
Meanwhile, Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association took the unusual step of publicly rebuking Del Grande, saying "regrettably, the actions of one of our colleagues failed to meet the high standard of behaviour and good example expected of and provided by Catholic trustees throughout Ontario. The actions were unacceptable, hurtful and completely inappropriate. We without reservation repudiate them."
The statement went on to say that "throughout their history, Catholic school boards have implemented legislation, Ministry of Education regulation and requirements under the Ontario Human Rights Code."

Craig-Bailey-FBC-WinnsboroDownload
Craig Bailey, pastor of First Baptist Winnsboro, serves CMBA as the Moderator of the association for 2022. In this role he also serves on the Visionary Leadership Community (VLC) which meets almost monthly to conduct CMBA business and share ministry updates from our Family of Church across the Midlands. This is the first of monthly VLC member spotlights that will also include an introduction to the CMBA church in which they serve.
Craig's call to ministry began 42 years ago in his native Georgia and has continued in churches across the Carolinas where he has served as a youth minister, pastor, church planter, associational missionary and church consultant. Since becoming pastor of First Baptist Winnsboro six years ago, Craig has been active in various roles within the association including as a VLC member since 2019 and having started a Church Revitalization Group that met informally prior to CMBA calling current Executive Director George Bullard.
"The knowledge and experience in Baptist association ministry which Craig brings to his role during this crucial year of transition is invaluable to CMBA," says Executive Director George Bullard. "Craig has a very positive impact on the missional ministry of our association. It was Craig who introduced us to Rabbi Andy Meyerson who he worked with in the Buncombe Baptist Association in North Carolina. Rabbi Andy launched a campus of Beth Shiloh Messianic Jewish Congregation in the fellowship area of our association last Spring."
Craig says the association is often a "silent ministry" to its churches and that "most of the members do not realize the impact of our churches working together on so many things. Serving on the VLC brings a perspective on the mission our churches can have when they pull together." This perspective has allowed Craig to further recognize the value of partnership among churches.
"I see CMBA as a family on a journey – a pilgrimage if you will – across the landscape of ministry in the Midlands. Like any family we have strong members who lead and often bear the greatest burden, and we have those weaker family members who need the support of the stronger to make it. Then there are the new babies and children – those newly planted and younger congregations with new vitality and energy. God is at work across this spectrum of churches in so many different ways. It highlights our diverse culture and reminds us that we can't do it by ourselves. I see this team getting stronger every day as God calls us out to our unique ministries," he says.
Since its founding in 1858, First Baptist Winnsboro has had a distinctive community ministry presence. Dr. J.C. Furman delivered the first sermon preached in the congregation's original building during his tenure as president of the Furman Institution, now Furman University. Craig reports the congregation continues to lead in ministry to its area of Fairfield County, a rural population count that has remained roughly the same from 1860 until today with just over 22,000 residents.
"We host an annual community sunrise service at Easter, the annual live nativity, which set another record attendance in 2021, and 11 churches participated in our Community Christmas Sing. Some 75 youth participate each week in our Thursday after school ministry that has also birthed the FBC Crusaders boys' basketball team, made up of middle and high schoolers who could not play when their schools dropped or curtailed sports programs due to Covid," Craig shares of his congregation's impact on their neighbors.
First Baptist Winnsboro has not missed a live weekly worship service since the pandemic began and has expanded outreach opportunities through Craig's Wake Up in the Word daily devotional series and the church's YouTube ministry. This ministry led to the church's first baptism in 2022 of a woman who came to faith in Christ online. Despite some exciting advances First Baptist, like most other churches, is still doing its best to navigate ongoing pandemic realities that Craig says have "made an indelible mark on our community."
Craig and his wife Sue celebrated their 45th anniversary in November and have two adult daughters. Joy and her husband Tim live in Tennessee with their four children, while Libby and her husband Matt (the son of former SC Baptist Convention CFO James Wright) live in Blythewood with their two children and also serve as worship leaders at Sandy Level Baptist. An interesting "fun fact" about Craig is that he is a descendant of early settlers who came to Edisto Island from Great Britain and Scotland.
The January VLC meeting will be held Jan. 18 at First Baptist Winnsboro. The next VLC spotlight will feature Freddy Johnson, VLC vice moderator and pastor of North Point Community Church, which will host the February meeting.

Rainbow City plans to build animal shelter
By Donna ThorntonTimes Staff Writer
Jan 2, 2017 at 4:45 PM Jan 2, 2017 at 4:45 PM
For the past nine years, Rainbow City contracted with a local veterinarian to handle animals picked up by Animal Control or surrendered by city residents. Now, it's preparing to handle those chores on its own.
Police Chief Jonathon Horton said knowing the contract would end at the end of 2016 led him and city leaders to consider other options. Continuing to use the same facility would be far more expensive, he said.
Horton said the costs would've increased at least threefold, and the city also would have had to pay some utility costs.
Rainbow City's population has grown by 3,000 to 4,000 people during the past nine years, and the animal population has increased accordingly.
With the growth expected to continue, the mayor and city council decided it was time build a shelter in Rainbow City, instead of continuing to pay increasing costs.
The Rainbow City Fire Department made property available on Pleasant Valley Road for the construction of a facility expected to cost about $650,000, Horton said. The plan is to break ground in January and have the 10,000-square-foot shelter completed by late April or early May. It will accommodate 110 to 120 animals.
The intent is to build a facility that will serve Rainbow City now and in the future, as well as surrounding cities if needed. In fact, Southside plans to contract with Rainbow City after the shelter is built. Police Chief Chris Jones said its contract with the same veterinarian's office also is ending.
Horton said he never expected taking care of animals to be such large part of the job when he took over as Rainbow City's police chief.
"I don't think people realize a big a problem unwanted animals are," he said. "It's an out-of-sight, out-of-mind problem."
Horton consulted Christi Brown, director of the Humane Society Pet Rescue and Adoption Center, and Mindy Gilbert, U.S. Humane Society Director, about what's needed to operate a shelter.
With Brown's help, he looked at some existing buildings for possible renovation, but they found nothing suitable. A shelter has specific drainage and ventilation needs, and it must have space to separate animals that might be sick to prevent contaminating other dogs or cats — things Horton might not have known without consulting Brown and Gilbert.
Horton also visited Scottsboro, which built a shelter in 2009 to house its animals and those from Jackson County. He said he got valuable input from the chief there about what has worked and what could've been done differently.
"We're going to benefit from what they learned," Horton said.
Rainbow City also will benefit from working with the HSPRAC. Animal Control Officer Andrea Willett has been training with the staff and volunteers there.
In the meantime, Horton said the city has contracted with the HSPRAC to take in animals through the end of April, with the ability to extend the agreement through May if needed. There will be no charge for surrendering an animal.
Rainbow City Animal Control will take any animals picked up to HSPRAC's facility on Brooke Avenue, and people from Rainbow City should go there if they need to surrender an animal. Brown said anyone surrendering an animal must show ID to prove Rainbow City residency.
For now, Jones said, Southside residents should call that city's Animal Control for lost pets or other animal issues.
Brown said HSPRAC stays at capacity all the time. It has Animal Control contracts with Attalla and Gadsden, and didn't really need to add another city.
However, she said, the addition of a well-built, well-run shelter in Rainbow City has the potential to save animals' lives in Etowah County, and that's something the HSPRAC works for.
"They have done a lot of research to make sure it's done right," Brown said.
Horton said the plan is to hire two additional employees — one an adoption specialist. The city has passed a new ordinance that sets out a five-day holding period for animals picked up or surrendered in Rainbow City, the chief said, a change from a seven-day hold. Horton said that should help save animal lives.
Shelters have limited space, the chief explained, and longer holds may result in healthy, adoptable animals whose time is up being euthanized, while ailing animals must be housed.
Adoption processes will be like those at the HSPRAC; animals will be vaccinated and spayed or neutered, he said.
Running an animal shelter won't be a money-making process for Rainbow City, Horton said. Fees sometimes are charged to surrender an animal, he said, but the city won't do that in its temporary agreement with HSPRAC or when the shelter is constructed.
"If someone has to pay to drop off an animal," Horton said, "they might end up dropping it on the side of the road. Then our Animal Control officer has to go pick it up."
Similarly, Brown said, people can drop animals at the HSPRAC from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
"They won't have to make an appointment," Brown said, and the range of hours should mean more people can get animals to the shelter, rather than abandoning them elsewhere.
"We hope it'll be more user friendly for the public," she said.
Looking back at years of records, Horton said the city typically takes in about 40 animals a month, but 65 percent of them are feral cats — animals that not adoptable and are a liability. That leaves about 18 animals a month to deal with.
Horton said he hopes this temporary contract and the new facility will give those animals a greater chance at adoption.
"We think this will be a benefit to all of Etowah County," he said.
