Glasgow Gallivanting: December 2019

Watt Institution
The Watt Institution in James Watt's hometown of Greenock houses the McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Watt Library and Watt Hall. Recently closed for several years, it re-opened in November after a £2.1 million refurbishment programme funded by Inverclyde Council and Historic Environment Scotland. Watt (1736-1819) being an engineering hero of John's, we went along to have a look in early December. It was a very miserable day outside, as you can tell from the photo above, but plenty to do inside.

The museum is called after its founder, James McLean, and first opened in 1876. I don't know what it was like pre-refurbishment, but now it is light and airy (above) with various local history displays. I found the quilt embroidered with the names of the children of Greenock, Gourock and Port Glasgow who died in the Blitz of 6/7 May 1941 particularly poignant – especially when I found four members of the same family.
The Watt Lecture Hall opened at the same time as the museum. Today it holds a new exhibition celebrating Watt's life and works.
Upstairs is the Art Gallery with its small, but interesting, collection of local views as well as more famous works by the likes of the Scottish Colourists, Boudin, Courbet, and Corot. Again, my eye was drawn to a poignant memorial, this time at the bottom of the gallery stairs. Too many names (Pat Leiper, 2014) lists the 1500 local men who died in the Great War.
Too many names
Of course, I have left the best (from my point of view) till last. The Watt Library houses local history reference books and archives, and is dominated by a large sculpture of James Watt himself.

I just loved looking at all the old books, many of which were on open shelves. Greenock Infirmary's Fever Journal from the 1860s must be unique, so it was a surprise to be able to pick it up and handle it.

I took many more photos of old labels which would only be of interest to library geeks, so I have spared you most of those!
Feminism and the servant problem: book launch
From one of John's heroes, to one of mine. "My" suffragette, Jessie Stephen, was a woman of many talents. By the time she was twenty, in addition to her suffrage activities, she had been the Vice-Chair of her local Independent Labour Party (at 16, the youngest you could be a full member) and organised her fellow domestic servants into the Scottish Federation of Domestic Workers. When writing the first version of my talk on Jessie last year, I read a couple of articles by Dr Laura Schwartz of Warwick University, so I was delighted when she got in touch to tell me that she had written a book in which Jessie had a large role. Even better, I was asked to give a shorter version of my talk at an event in the Mitchell Library to launch the book in Scotland. Below, you can see Laura and me with the third speaker, Paula Larkin (in grey) and a member of library staff.

The publisher very kindly donated a copy of the book to Glasgow Women's Library, which I've read and will be reviewing for their website. And if you're having an allergic reaction to the Mitchell's carpet, see my story from an A to Z Challenge a few years ago:
Gallus Glasgow M: The Mitchell
Glasgow Coat of Arms
In that same A to Z Challenge, I also wrote about Glasgow's motto and Coat of Arms:
Gallus Glasgow L: Let Glasgow Flourish
More recently, my friend Becky wrote about them after I gave her a whistle stop tour of Glasgow:
Let Glasgow Flourish
I've recently been following a Twitter account, @GlasgowCoA, run by Caroline Scott who aims to collect as many examples of the Coat of Arms as possible. Glasgow City Heritage Trust (the organisation which put on the Ghost Signs talk we went to in November) was running an exhibition of some of the photographs she has amassed and we went along to the opening.
If you are wandering round Glasgow, be sure to tweet @GlasgowCoA any examples you find. It doesn't matter if they're already on the map – as Caroline points out, everyone's take is different. These doorplates from the Mitchell featured twice, for example, and I was tickled to notice my friend Lynn was one of the contributors.

Books are your ticket to the whole world
Just in case you thought there weren't enough libraries in this post, here's another one which has just reopened after refurbishment. Partick is not my local library, but it's not far away. I love that they have decorated the walls with quotations from local hero, comedian Billy Connolly. Books are your ticket to the whole world is possibly too small to read in the picture below. Another wall has: There's no right way to read. You are not studying for an exam. The important thing is that books do you good. They improve your life, and the lives of the people around you. They improve you. Wise man!
So far, all the activities I have mentioned have been indoor – par for the course in December. However, we did get out for a few walks. We did the Drumchapel Way, which might sound a bit odd to those who know Glasgow, Drumchapel being a housing estate in the north-west of the city. However, it's possible to walk a 4.5 mile circuit around it almost entirely in parks and woodland. We found pigeons, a deer (a bit blurry, but it ran past very quickly), a very kitsch memorial garden and, yes, another library. This one looks as though it needs refurbishment.

Another wintry walk was in Palacerigg Country Park – some nice reflections.

Between Christmas and New Year we had a few days in Galloway – there will be posts about that later. In the meantime, here are some shots of Arran taken from Girvan on our journey home. It looked so stunning, we just had to stop.

The last bit
A few odds and ends to finish with. We found a new ghost sign on Whittinghame Drive! Thanks to Jayne for the tip.
The hothouses at the Botanic Gardens are always good for a stroll when it's cold outside. Shades of pinks and red cheer me up.
And finally, with the holiday season well and truly over, we are back tae auld claes and parritch (old clothes and porridge, i.e. back to normal). But of course, some of us have Becky's #JanuaryLight Square Challenge to distract us (click on the logo for info if you don't know about it). I've taken today off to Gallivant but will be back to the Squares tomorrow.

Glasgow Gallivanting: September 2019
September 30, 2019 September 26, 2019 Anabel @ The Glasgow Gallivanter69 Comments
25th August 2019 was the two hundredth anniversary of the death of Scottish engineer James Watt. Watt's interest in the technology of steam engines began while he was employed as an instrument maker at the University of Glasgow, and his work became fundamental to the Industrial Revolution. There have been commemorations in Scotland all year, and this month it was John's turn to take part by giving a lecture on Watt at a conference organised by some of his colleagues. I went along and enjoyed it very much (even though I had heard some of it before!)
You can find representations of Watt in several places in Glasgow – left to right below: on Glasgow Green outside the People's Palace, in Anderston, in the Hunterian Museum and in George Square.

John's not the only one to have been talking. I gave my talk on the Suffragette Jessie Stephen for the third time – it's getting quite polished now – and a few days later I led two women's history walks for Doors Open Day. I'm not quite sure why I agreed to three events in one week – note to self for next year: don't do it! However, a bonus to one of the walks is that I got to see inside Glasgow's Mercat Cross which is usually firmly locked. Market crosses like this are found all over Scotland to mark the places where markets were legally held – Glasgow's original cross was removed in 1659 and this symbolic replacement was erected in 1929/30 to the design of Scotland's first practicing female architect, Edith Burnett Hughes. The unicorn and interior animal figures were modelled by Margaret Cross Primrose. I've said that last sentence every time I've been a guide on this walk, but only now know what these animals look like.
Mercat Cross
A couple of family visits (one to us, one involving travelling) also contributed to a busy month, but we still got time to get out and about to see new places. Autumn is upon us and short, dark days lie ahead so we decided to make the most of the last of summer.
Penicuik House
Penicuik House in Midlothian looks impressive from a distance, but as you get closer you can see that it is merely a shell. Erected by Sir James Clerk of Penicuik between 1761 and 1778, it was extended in 1857 and destroyed by fire in 1899. A Preservation Trust was set up in 1987 and, over a century after the fire, the ruin was stabilised and partially restored (2007-14) and is now open to the public. Inside, you can see doors that open into thin air and the remains of spiral staircases. The exterior is still ornamented by some fine statues (and on this day, John.)

After exploring the ruin, and having lunch in the café which, thankfully, has a roof, we walked round the estate. The building with the spire is the old stables where, I believe, the family still lives. The 18th century tower, which the Trust aims to renovate and reopen, was designed as both a belvedere (viewpoint) and doocot (dovecot). The view is of the Pentland Hills from Cauldshoulders Ridge which we had climbed in the hope of reaching the monument you can just glimpse in the distance over the white gate. We failed to find it!

On our way home we dropped into a place I would never have known about had I not read a post on Things Helen Loves just a few days before. The Secret Herb Garden was a short detour on our route from Penicuik House back to the Edinburgh by-pass. A herb nursery, garden, café and gin distillery – it's all those things. We indulged in coffee and cake and left with a bottle of gin.
The Clyde at Crossford
We did a lovely circular walk out along the Clyde from the village of Crossford in South Lanarkshire, returning on minor roads and farm tracks via the memorial at General Roy's birthplace. William Roy produced a map of Scotland after the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, and from this grow the Ordnance Survey which produces the maps we use today. Appropriately, the memorial is in the form of a trig point pillar.
General Roy Memorial
Dumfries House which, confusingly, is not in Dumfries but near Cumnock in Ayrshire, was built in the 1750s for the 5th Earl of Dumfries. The architects were the Adam brothers, and much of the furnishing was specially commissioned from Thomas Chippendale. When it became too expensive for the family to run in 2007, the owner, by then the 7th Marquess of Bute, sold it for £45m to the nation in the form of a Foundation headed by Prince Charles. The house (no photography inside) and estate have been restored to their former glory and opened to the public..
I have ambivalent feelings about touring these great houses – to me, they represent the pinnacle of a rotten social system – and I am no big fan of royalty, quite the reverse. However, I think a good thing has been done here. The Estate is now the second biggest employer in the area, after the local council, and the jobs provided are not just casual, dead-end ones. Young people are learning new skills via apprenticeships in hospitality and traditional crafts such as stonemasonry – the estate is dotted with quirky little shelters and summer houses as a result.

Mugdock Country Park
Mugdock is close to home and we've visited often, but we've never been lucky enough to be there when the only intact tower of the castle was open. Great views from the top!
Mugdock Castle
The middle floor of the castle is furnished like a dining room, with posters detailing old remedies around the walls. I rather liked this one:
To cure a great flux or looseness of the belly take a hard egg and peel off the shell and put the smaller end of it to the fundament and when it is cold take another such hot, fresh, hard and peeled egg and apply it as aforesaid.
Readers, do not try this at home!
The Oor Wullie trail which graced Scotland's cities this summer finished at the end of August, and during September each city auctioned off its statues. In total, they have raised an amazing £1.3m for children's hospital charities. Metal Oor Wullie, designed by Jason Patterson and exhibited in Glasgow's George Square, was the biggest fundraiser at £25,000.
Every autumn, I find a new mural by street artist Pink Rebel Bear. This year, s/he takes aim at Donald Trump, Kim Jong-un, and Boris Johnson, depicting them all as big babies. It was really hard to photograph because there was scaffolding in front of it, hence the angle. It's on Woodlands Terrace Lane near the junction with Woodlands Road should any Glaswegian readers be interested.

Big Heid by Oh Pandah
The other piece of graffiti art above was snapped on the Kelvin Walkway near Inn Deep, but I've seen the same head in different colours all around the city over the last couple of months. I've only just discovered the story behind it though. The "Big Heids" are by Oh Pandah, a Glasgow based graffiti artist who is using them to celebrate two years of sobriety. Apparently, the reason the faces all look as they do reflects the previous lifestyle followed by the artist and the toll taken by years of partying. Crikey!
Finally, to my Scottish word of the month. You might have noticed the UK is still in political turmoil, with the government recently being taken to court. Twice. If you live here, you will know the sordid details. If you don't, I won't bore you with them. One of the Scottish judges used the word stymied meaning obstructed – I think that's a fairly common word these days and would be understandable to non-Scots, but did you know that it originated as a golfing term from the Scots stimie? Well now you do! It describes a situation where one player's ball lies between another ball and the hole on the putting green, thereby blocking the line of play.
In another Scottish turn of phrase, the nights are fair drawing in. Will that curtail our October gallivanting? Time will tell – have a great month.

David Friedberg, CEO of The Climate Corporation, expected pushback when he decided to sell his San Francisco-based big data company to Monsanto. He was surprised, though, when some of the loudest criticism came from his own father.
As Friedberg the younger wrote in an email to Climate Corp employees after the 2013 sale, being chastised by his own dad "was really hard". But he's nothing if not a believer in facts, and so he marshaled enough evidence to persuade his father that the $930m sale to Monsanto was not just good for his business, but good for the planet. His email is worth reading, particularly if, like Friedberg's dad, you're a critic of Monsanto.
Now Friedberg and his colleagues need to persuade the world's farmers that Climate Corp will help them save money, improve yields, adapt to climate change and improve the environment. And if the company manages to turn around a few more Monsanto critics, that would be a bonus.
Founded in 2006, Climate Corp is a leading player in the fast-growing business of precision agriculture. Using a data-driven approach, it seeks the most efficient use of fertilizer, seed, pesticides, land and water. It's the next big idea in farming, Friedberg claimed when we met at his office in San Francisco. He compared the approach to the industrialization of agriculture, the green revolution and modern plant breeding.
"Technology is how we solve all the great problems that we have to tackle, since the dawn of civilization," he added.
Friedberg's faith in technology is hardly surprising. A former Google executive with a degree in astrophysics from the University of California at Berkeley, the 34-year-old presides over roughly 700 employees, most of whom are software engineers and data scientists.
He is also a lifelong environmentalist. He started an environmental club in high school, bought a Prius when hybrid cars were a novelty, and he doesn't eat meat, which makes him the odd man out when visiting with farmers in the corn belt. "I'm usually eating salad and bread," he said.
Many environmentalists are excited by precision agriculture, largely because of its potential to reduce fertilizer use. Nitrogen fertilizer not soaked up by crops emits a powerful greenhouse gas, while runoff from excess fertilizer causes toxic algae blooms that can contaminate drinking water and create dead zones in the ocean, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
For farmers, wasted fertilizer also translates into wasted money. "There's a ton of inefficiency, and that inefficiency doesn't deliver productivity," said Rebecca Shaw, a senior scientist at Environmental Defense Fund.
It's no wonder that the field of precision agriculture is booming. Tractor maker Deere & Company, seed developer DuPont Pioneer and Iowa-based United Suppliers all offer hardware and software products to help farmers use resources more efficiently. In the meantime, brands and retailers – including Walmart, Unilever and General Mills, all of which have set sustainability targets around carbon emissions and fertilizer use – are pressuring farmers to better manage their inputs.
Climate Corp didn't start off with a focus on farming. The company sold weather insurance that protected businesses – including golf courses, ski resorts and professional baseball teams – against financial losses caused by extreme weather. It soon found, however, that farmers made up its biggest group of customers.
Subsequently, the company gathered vast quantities of agronomic data – hyperlocal weather reports, soil quality analyses, elevation measurements, ideal planting dates and yield information – from sources including the US Department of Agriculture, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the US Geological Survey. It also gathered feedback from its farmer customers.
The company offers an array of products and services, including precision planting equipment and a free phone app called Climate Basic, which gives farmers weather, soil and crop data at the field level. Climate Basic has been downloaded by farmers managing about 24m hectares (60m acres) of land, which amounts to about 7% of all US farmland.
A more sophisticated product called Climate Pro offers advice on crop health and nitrogen use. "It's us using the data we have about your [farming] operation to make recommendations back to you," Friedberg said. Climate Pro had been licensed for $15 per acre, but it's now priced at $3 per acre to encourage trial users.
The Climate Pro sales pitch is simple: the cost of the software will be repaid in the form of savings on the cost of fertilizer. Local agronomists and retailers have advised farmers for years to apply more nitrogen to drive up yields, and some corn farmers spend as much as $200 per acre on fertilizer. But farmers are "wasting as much as half of that money, and destroying the environment", according to Friedberg.
Will Climate Corp win over farmers? It won't be easy. About one third of farmers are older than 65, and only about 16% are younger than 45, according to Agricultural Economic Insights. Farmers also are relative latecomers to the internet, which became easily accessible in rural areas only with the advent of smartphones and high-speed 3G networks. And, of course, there's the competition.
United Suppliers, a network of more than 700 agricultural retailers in 20 states, has a program called Sustain to help farmers better manage their inputs. Matt Carstens, vice president of United Suppliers, said his company "not only provides products, tools and technologies for nitrogen management, but also for conservation practices, and will eventually include education on green fertilizers when they become available".
It's safe to say that farmers will rely more on data and less on gut instinct in the years ahead.

BTS Announce "Extended Period of Rest," Tease "New Album"
"It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families"

After keeping up a stupefying pace for the last two years, BTS are ready for a break. Through BIGHIT MUSIC, the septet have announced an "extended period of rest," as they prepare for a "new chapter" — which includes a "new album."
The break follows scheduled performances for "The Jingle Ball Tour" and "Permission to Dance On Stage," which was one of the best-selling concerts in history. It's their first hiatus since the one they took in 2019, which lasted for several weeks.
In a statement, BIGHIT MUSIC said a break would give the Bangtan Boys "a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy. It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families."
The statement did not elaborate on how long the group would rest. However, they do expect to perform a live concert in Seoul, South Korea this upcoming March. In the meantime, "BTS will be focusing on preparing for the concert and release of the new album that will mark the beginning of a 'new chapter.'" Check out the full statement below.
Last week, BTS shared, "Butter (Holiday Remix)," and today, December 6th, Consequence put the original "Butter" very high on our list of the Top 50 Songs of 2021.
Read the full statement below.
"Hello. This is BIGHIT MUSIC. We would like to inform you that BTS is planning to take a second official extended period of rest since their first in 2019 after they complete their official scheduled events of BTS Permission To Dance On Stage- LA and the 2021 Jingle Ball Tour. BTS stayed active in order to engage with fans in 2020 and 2021 amidst the Covid-19 situation, and achieved dazzling results to cement themselves as top global artists.
"This period of rest will provide the members of BTS who have tirelessly committed themselves to their activities, a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy. It will also be the first time for them since their debut to spend the holiday season with their families. We kindly ask once again that you show consideration for their need to enjoy ordinary and free, everyday lives while solely concentrating on themselves, albeit for a short while, during their period of rest.
"BTS will be focusing on preparing for the concert and release of the new album that will mark the beginning of a 'new chapter'. They are preparing for a concert this coming March to connect and communicate with the fans in-person in Seoul. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the fans who continue to cheer for BTS and they will return as their best, healthiest selves after recharging so they can return all the love from the fans. Thank you."

There's one cigar accessory that most of us here at Cigars International couldn't live without. Maybe your thinking its a high-quality cutter, or some fancy lighter. Well, guess again. What I'm talking about here is the liquid gold of America - good ol' fashioned bourbon. Truly I cant think of something more indulgently delicious than a fine handmade and glass of bourbon.
This book investigates the dedication, the skill, and most importantly, the passion that goes into producing bourbon today. It talks about the formula, the production, the maturation, cigar pairing, storage and much more. The stunning photography takes you on a virtual distillery tour like no other, all from the comfort of your own home. So, grab your favorite cigar, pour out a few fingers of the good stuff, and enjoy.
A summary of the art of bourbon production. Provides a good base of knowledge for those not familiar with bourbon. A good book for those of us that appreciate a fine glass too.
not what I was expecting but still good.
Very interesting facts about bourbon .
wish it was a hard cover.
Really enjoying the book. Now I can act like I actually know what I'm talking about during a bourbon discussion.
Absolutely was a phenomenal read.. Great information and wonderfully selected photos to highlight the history of Bourbon.. Thanks for enjoyable learning.
Every bro zone needs some quality reading laying around. This little nugget is loaded with the complete story of bourbon!!!
Very interesting and full of great information.
It gave me lots of information that I didn't know about Bourbon. Mainly about the percent of different grains used.
This book is a must for any bourbon lover. It has everything you need to know in an easy to read and remember format. Great photos as well. Do yourself a favor and buy enough cigars to get this free.
I thought this would be a hardback coffee table book but instead I received a somewhat oversized paperback. The pictures and content are decent, I just expected something more physically substantial.
Interesting read I learned few things.
A concise and photographically articulated book on the elements that go into making bourbon. It provides a foundation for exploring recipe variations. One can recall the basics from this book and impress friends with worldly expertise.
Great book, wonderful documentation of Bourbon... but I was expecting a full-size (hardback) rendition same as the Cigar-book?
The book is fine. Well made and good looking but nothing earth-shattering as afar as content. Nice little perk to the order, though.
It's a very small book. Can be read in less than 1 hour.
The book is 74 pages and took about 40 minutes to read. I'm not a bourbon guy so the majority of it was new information for me. It was an easy read and described the processes and ingredients well. I like reading so i would have liked a longer book. I definitely think that the book looks good sitting next to my humidor. I got this free as a promo for buying other things so I thought it was worth it.
Book was an awesome gift for a bourbon lover!
Was an OK deal a few of the freebies were unsmokable. Felt heat thru the cigar at light up.on some. But they were free so I can't really complain.
I'm actually keeping this book in the bathroom so friends and myself have something interesting to read.
Looks good in the cigar room - makes you look like you know something.

Vultee Trainer Readied to Fly Again
A U.S. Army trainer plane from World War II, close to going airborne for the first time in 70 years, will make that "maiden voyage" from California's Modesto Airport.
The Vultee BT-13 Valiant was in pieces, spread between three hangars at the airport, when Jason Reid purchased it from the Commemorative Air Force there. When he's done, it will be among an elite group of fewer than 50 airworthy BT-13s in existence.
"A lot of military bases still have something like this out there, but all they are is a shell and … they will probably never fly again," Reid said.

Christer Strömholm (1918–2002) was one of the great photographers of the 20th century, but he is little known outside of his native Sweden. The exhibition Christer Strömholm: Les Amies de Place Blanche presents his most powerful and acclaimed body of work: Les Amies de Place Blanche, a documentation of transsexual "ladies of the night" in Paris in the 1960s. At Zip Burger they offer farm-raised, organic, and grass-fed meat and poultry, letting you build your own burger with plenty of gourmet toppings. The first time I went to Subway Inn I thought it was completely strange that there was a dive bar off Lexington Avenue, especially in this neck of the woods, but somehow it works. Born in the 30s, this bar has somehow remained, and thank god, as it's easily the cheapest place in the area for a drink. For fans of Japanese pop-culture, Kinokuniya Bookstore has a large selection of Japanese themed books, videos, CDs, magazines, comics, and stationary.

Willem van den Blocke (alternative names: Willem van den Block, Willem van den Bloocke, Wilhelm von dem Block, Wilhelm von dem Blocke, Wilhem van Block) (c. 1550 – 1628) was a sculptor and architect of Flemish descent who was active in the Baltics and worked in a mannerist style.

Biography
He was born in Mechelen, the son of Franciscus van den Blocke who was a sculptor. Willem received his first training in the art of stone carving and sculpting in his father's workshop in Mechelen. He then likely moved for further training to the workshop of Cornelis Floris de Vriendt in Antwerp.

In 1569 he went to Königsberg (Kaliningrad).  He was part of a group of pupils and assistants of Cornelis Floris, which included Gert van Egen, Robert Coppens and Philips Brandin, who moved to the Baltic region to take advantage of Floris' network and the international popularity of the Floris style.  The Baltic region was at the time politically relatively stable when compared to Willem's native home, the Spanish Netherlands, which were rife with religious persecution. The van Block family were Mennonites and were particularly vulnerable to such persecution in their home country. In the Baltics there was also less competition from other artists.

In Konigsberg van den Blocke worked on the monumental tomb of Albert, Duke in Prussia, designed by Floris, in the local cathedral. In 1581 he designed and executed the tomb of princess Elizabeth, the first wife of George Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, also in the Königsberg Cathedral.

After 14 years of service to the Margrave, he received a recommendation letter and then went to work in Poland. He received many commissions such as the design and execution of the tomb of Christopher Báthory, brother of the King of Poland Stephen Báthory. He completed this commission from 1581 to 1583 in Wartenburg (Barczewo).

In early 1584 he went to Gyulafehérvár in Transylvania to install in the local church a tomb he had created.

Willem van den Blocke moved on 18 June 1584 to Danzig (Gdańsk), the center of the Vistula delta Mennonites, carrying with him a recommendation by Stephen Báthory, the king of Poland. As he was in royal employ, he did not have to join the local guild.  He ran a workshop in Danzig until his death His most important work in Danzig was the design of one of the gates in the city walls, called the High Gate (completed in 1588). He also created numerous epitaphs and tombs. He also designed the facades of town houses in Danzig, Toruń (Thorn) and Elbing (Elbląg).

His son Abraham van den Blocke was also an architect and sculptor, whereas his sons Jacob van den Blocke, Isaak van den Blocke and David van den Blocke were painters. Van den Blocke died in Danzig in the same year as his sons Abraham and Isaac, likely from an infectious disease.

Work
Willem van den Brocke is regarded as the main representative in the Baltics of Italianizing Flemish mannerism as developed first by Cornelis Floris.  Although he designed many building ornaments, he is best known for his monuments.  His monuments are characterized by their clarity and rich ornamentation.  The deceased are presented realistically.

Known works
 Epitaph of Edward Blemke in the St. Mary's Church, 1591
 Tomb of the King John III of Sweden in Uppsala Cathedral (1593–1596), was until 1782 installed in the Great Armoury in Danzig, and re-assembled at the current location in 1817–1818

The climate is the average weather pattern in the certain area experienced over a long time. Climate varies from place to place due to many reasons. This note contains a description of Climate Change; One of Our Greatest Challenges.
The climate is the average weather pattern in the certain area experienced over a long time. Unlike the weather, which is the current atmospheric condition, climate change very little over a long period of time? So climate is also not static and changes due to natural factors. But natural factors account for very little and slow changes only. Due to unchecked human activities, the climate of the globe is changing much more quickly than it would do naturally. Such a change is called climate change, which is one of the greatest challenges the world community is facing in the modern time.
Greenhouse effect and global warming
The earth gets warm by receiving solar energy. When the temperature increases, heat is reflected back by its surface. Some of the heat are re-reflected back by the atmosphere. As the walls of a greenhouse, the atmosphere thus lets in the solar light and absorbs the outgoing heat and keeps the atmosphere heated. This process is called greenhouse effect. Due to an extra accumulation of the greenhouse effect, mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, the process is intensified. Polluted air stops heat escaping and extra heat is trapped and makes earth warmer which is called global warming.
One-fifth of the air in the atmosphere is oxygen, which is needed for every living thing on the planet. When we breathe, we take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees and plants also take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If there were no green plants, we would soon use up oxygen and die. Nowadays there are more people and fewer trees. With economic development, more factories are established leading to more fossil fuel use, more vehicles are used and more forest is cleared. The factories, all kind of transport, power stations and the burning of charcoal produce a vast amount of gases. It is estimated that over 7 billion tonnes of CO2 are released each year through fossil fuel use. Because the trees are getting less they cannot turn it all on oxygen, this is causing global warming.
Climate change has stood a great threat to the modern world. Effects are very serious. World climates have altered. The overall pattern of rainfall has changed; some places receiving excessive rain that triggers landslides and floods while others getting dries, unable to sustain settlement and agriculture. Rainfall amounts are growing in the Polar Regions and declining in the equatorial regions. Grasslands and rainforest are contracting and deserts are expanding. Global temperatures have risen alarmingly. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on the Climate Change (IPCC), a UN component which won Nobel peace prize for the year 2007, the world's average temperature could rise as much as 6°c by the end of this century, killing hundreds of millions of people and changing all life. The rising global temperature has caused ice caps to extra melt. Scientists have warned that if situations don't improve, the whole Arctic Sea ice will melt down between 2050 and 2100 AD. Sea levels are consistently rising, leaving low areas at greater risks of flooding. Worse hurricanes are a common place.
Control measures
Human activities are most responsible for climate change, which is a world problem. industrialized countries which consume more fossil fuels are more responsible. But effects are worldwide. Polluted air travels place to place to cause similar harms. The task of controlling the climate change cannot be left to one or two countries. Instead, the world community must have a joint commitment towards the goal. However, the rich industrialized countries have more significant roles to play.
The urgent step that needs to be taken as a control measure is to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases. Forest areas should be expanded. Alternative energy source should be used. At the same time, areas at immediate risk also need to help for mitigating the effects.
Various efforts are being made at international level. United Nations Framework Convention on climate change (UNFCCC) was signed in 1992 by 180 countries plus the European Union as a major international commitment towards controlling greenhouse emissions. The Kyoto Protocol which was adopted in 1997 as a supplementary treaty to UNFCCC and which came into force in 2005 set a target for developed countries to reduce the emission of the six greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride.
In December 2007, representatives from over 180 countries met in Bali, Indonesia where they, with the USA, forced to be flexible, agreed upon the Bali Roadmap) that set forth some tracks needed to reach a secure climate future. They also agreed upon targets for reducing emissions from deforestation and on technology transfer. Later in October in 2009, the Maldives, one of the countries feared to be affected most devastatingly by climate change, held an underwater cabinet meeting. It was followed by Nepali cabinet meeting held in Kala Patthar at an altitude of 5242 m (now having no ice due to excessive melting) on 4 December 2009. Both of these meetings were organized in order to give symbolic messages to world community before the Copenhagen Climate Conference on 7-18 December 2009. It would be the 15th conference of parties(COP15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC).
The climate is the average weather pattern of the certain area experienced over a long time.
One-fifth of the air in the atmosphere is oxygen, which is needed by every living thing on the planet.
The overall pattern of rainfall has changed; some places receiving excessive rain that triggers landslides and floods while others getting dries, unable to sustain settlement and agriculture.

There can be more than one community in a society. Community smaller than society.
It is a network of social relationships which cannot see or touched.
common interests and common objectives are not necessary for society.

Climate Change in Nepal and Bangladesh: Some Evidence
Climate Change in the Mid Hills of Nepal
What is meant by climate change?
Climate change refers to the rapid and unnatural change in climate caused by unchecked human activities.
How is climate change connected with global warming?
Climate change is connected with global warming as global warming causes climates to change. Even though a warming trend is global, different areas around the world experience different specific changes in their climates, which have impacts on their local plants, animals and people.
How can atmosphere be compared with the walls of the greenhouse?
Atmosphere can be compared to the walls of the greenhouse as the walls of greenhouse, the atmosphere lets in the solar light and absorbs the outgoing heat and keeps the atmosphere heated.
What are the major effects of climate change?
The major effects of climate change are:
Heatwaves, heavy downpours, and sea level rise pose growing challenges
Change in timing of stream flow reduce water supplies
Sea level rise, erosion, inundation, risks to infrastructure and increasing ocean acidity
Extreme heat affects health, energy, agriculture and more
Decreased water availability will have economic and environmental impacts
Extinction of animals and species.
What are the effects of climate change already felt in Nepal?
The effects of climate change already felt in Nepal are drought, forest fires and flooding. In Nepal, changes in monsoon pattern have greatly exacerbated the situation of unacceptable presence of poverty and inequalities of opportunities in the county.
What do you think should be done urgently to control climate change?
To control the climate change following steps should be done:
Green your commute
Be energy efficient
Infrastructure upgrade
Consume less
Stop deforestation
Expand forest areas
What do you think was the symbolic message given to the world community by the Maldivian underwater cabinet meeting and the Nepali cabinet meeting in Kalapatthar?
The symbolic message was to conserve the earth from global warming and climate as the environmental change is irreversible and cause many problems in the future.
How can you contribute to the control of climate change?
We can contribute to the control of climate change by following ways:
Controlling pollution
Conducting awareness problems to control climate change
Reduction of greenhouses
Energy conversation
Using renewable resources
Making environment greener
Stopping deforestation
What is meant by climate change? How is it changed? Explain in detail.
The climate in the average climate of the earth or its parts due to the fluctuation in temperature of atmosphere, flow of wind and rainfall is known as climate change. It is changed in following way:
The atmosphere of the earth is made up of gas like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. Among them, some gases have more heat observing and storing capacity while others have less capacity. So, the change in the amount of results the change in temperature of atmosphere. Static reveal that carbondioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, methane gases are increasing in the atmosphere. These gases obstruct the way of the returning of the heat to the space. They absorb the heat or return it to earth, which causes the received heat to be more in amount than the returned heat i.e. radioactive rays. From this temperature of the atmosphere of the earth is increasing. So, the gases that effect in exchange of rays and causes climate change.
Explain the factors that influence the climate change.
The factors are:
Earth-sun geometry: earth revolves round the sun on its own orbit. The orbit of earth is not totally round. It is elliptical. Due to this reason, it is hot when the sun is near the earth and vice-versa. Hence, it influences the climate change.
Solar output: sun is the major source of heat and light in the earth. All the other sources of heat and light are derived from the sun as a secondary source. Therefore, climate of the earth depend upon the radiation of sun or the solar output.
Atmosphere/ocean heat exchange: due to the heat of the sun, atmosphere/ocean get heated, it changed into vapor and move from one place to another with atmospheric pressure. This water vapor drops down as rain and other forms of water at a suitable condition. In this way, atmosphere/ocean heated exchange influence the change in the climate.
Volcanic emission: volcano is an explosion of molten masses and gases from the core of the earth. This molten masses and gases also influence the change in the climate.
Continent drift: slow movement of the continent toward and away from each other during the history of the earth also helps to change in the climate of the earth.

Ada Mae Brown Brinton memoir
In 1977 Brinton wrote an essay, "Sunshine and Rain in Iowa; Reminiscing Through 86 Years," which reflects on rural Iowa, hard work, church traditions, and the love of family and community. Brinton gives the rich details of her childhood, wedding, Sunday dinners, and husking corn. She explains the process for drying corn, testing oat seeds, removing chinch bugs, and the workings of a primitive electrical system. She offers a recipe for making soap, explains World War I rationing, describes roving gypsies, peddlers, the circus and Chautauquas. People and places in Stuart, Iowa are illuminated in her writing as well as the 'brick' ice cream with the lavender wedding bell shipped in from Atlantic for her wedding dinner. She describes the depression of the 1930s, the preaching of Billy Sunday, a train trip through Iowa, which was her honeymoon, and explains the importance of woolen underwear and feather beds in winter.
Brinton, Ada Mae Brown, 1891-1988 (Person)
"Sunshine and Rain in Iowa: Reminiscing through 86 years" is open for research.
Ada Mae Brown was born May 5, 1891, near Stuart, Iowa. Her father, Thacher Brown, came by train to that area from Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1868; after purchasing land, horses and equipment, he broke the sod for farming. Brown's mother, Rhoannah Hinkson, had met her father in Lawrence; in 1869 Rhoannah and her family arrived, and purchased a farm across the road. Rhoannah and Thacher Brown were married Christmas Day, 1869. By the time Ada Mae Brown was born her parents had sold a very successful dairy farm and moved into Stuart where her father still maintained a dairy herd of four cows. Ada Mae Brown delivered milk throughout the community as a young girl. Though she did not finish high school, Brown was known for her musical ability and sang at weddings and funerals throughout her life. On December 9, 1914 she married Marion Brinton. Four children were born of this union but two died in infancy. Ada Mae Brown Brinton died at 97 years of age in 1988.

The Northern Rivers Branch of the ABA is based from Grafton to the Queensland border.
The Northern Rivers Branch of the ABA is based from Grafton to the Queensland border. Many members live in the Lismore and Ballina area though the membership extends to Armidale and Urunga. This of course is a large area and depending on the location can mean 2 to 3 hours travel for some of us attending field days.
The club welcomes new members be they experienced beekeepers or new comers to the hobby. Newcomers in particular can gain great support from more experienced beekeepers.
I'm new to beekeeping and have just lost one of my hives due to being slimed out by hive beetle.
Photo taken by Geoff Manning last Wednesday 10th October just before the storm hit. It was hived into 3 full depth supers and an Ideal.
After the demo we suited up and headed down to the apiary. The hives were very active with quite a bit of flora on display and a near perfect day to boot.
This red soil country now grows a number of species of eucalypt that probably did not occur there originally. There is a lovely specimen of Spotted Gum on Lindendale Road, and Mugga Ironbark at the TV station. The Mugga is in full flower now. Naturally it occurs over the Main Range and further west. A major honey source flowering in the winter, but is another eucalypt lacking useful pollen.
Our entry into the Colonel Pulling competition.
The Red Gum that provided the photo of the flowers in the last issue has not obliged with anymore to date. However, there are a couple of others that are now flowering. Just to remind any newbies, Red Gum has excellent pollen, often making up the lack in Grey Ironbark in years they flower concurrently. The Ironbark should start flowering fairly soon.

Q: warning: already initialized constant VERIFY_PEER When I try to start the server I get the following warning:
/Users/sumitkalra1984/MVP/config/initializers/devise.rb:5: warning: already initialized constant VERIFY_PEER

My devise file:
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE if Rails.env.development?

How do I find where the constant is already defined, and how do I overwrite that definition?

A: You can invoke OpenSSL::SSL.send(:remove_const, :VERIFY_PEER) before to unset the constant, set it as you need it, and restore it to its original value afterwards. Here is example code from a gist:
prev_setting = OpenSSL::SSL.send(:remove_const, :VERIFY_PEER)
OpenSSL::SSL.const_set(:VERIFY_PEER, OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)

# HTTP requests with DISABLED certificate verification go here.

OpenSSL::SSL.send(:remove_const, :VERIFY_PEER)
OpenSSL::SSL.const_set(:VERIFY_PEER, prev_setting)

Source and attribution: The solution comes from a comment by @sameers on Stack Overflow. Licenced under CC-BY-SA 4.0 as per the Stack Overflow user contribution licensing policy. The gist is assumed to be part of that as the author indicated their original intent of publishing it in a Stack Overflow comment.

A: While I cannot find where else the constant is initialized, you can silence the warning by wrapping that line in a silence_warnings block.
silence_warnings do
  OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE unless Rails.env.production?
end

Q: How to add page numbers to Postscript/PDF If you've got a large document (500 pages+) in Postscript and want to add page numbers, does anyone know how to do this?

A: Further to captaincomic's solution, I've extended it to support the starting of page numbering at any page.
Requires enscript, pdftk 1.43 or greater and pdfjam (for pdfjoin utility)
#!/bin/bash
input="$1"
count=$2
blank=$((count - 1))
output="${1%.pdf}-header.pdf"
pagenum=$(pdftk "$input" dump_data | grep "NumberOfPages" | cut -d":" -f2)
(for i in $(seq "$blank"); do echo; done) | enscript -L1 -B --output - | ps2pdf - > /tmp/pa$$.pdf
(for i in $(seq "$pagenum"); do echo; done) | enscript -a ${count}- -L1 -F Helvetica@10 --header='||Page $% of $=' --output - | ps2pdf - > /tmp/pb$$.pdf
pdfjoin --paper letter --outfile /tmp/join$$.pdf /tmp/pa$$.pdf /tmp/pb$$.pdf &>/dev/null
cat /tmp/join$$.pdf | pdftk "$input" multistamp - output "$output"
rm /tmp/pa$$.pdf
rm /tmp/pb$$.pdf
rm /tmp/join$$.pdf

For example.. place this in /usr/local/bin/pagestamp.sh and execute like:
pagestamp.sh doc.pdf 3

This will start the page number at page 3.. useful when you have coversheets, title pages and table of contents, etc.
The unfortunate thing is that enscript's --footer option is broken, so you cannot get the page numbering at the bottom using this method.

A: I liked the idea of using pspdftool (man page) but what I was after was page x out of y format and the font style to match the rest of the page.
To find out about the font names used in the document:
$ strings input.pdf | grep Font

To get the number of pages:
$ pdfinfo input.pdf | grep "Pages:" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d" " -f2

Glue it together with a few pspdftool commands:
$ in=input.pdf; \
out=output.pdf; \
indent=30; \
pageNumberIndent=49; \
pageCountIndent=56; \
font=LiberationSerif-Italic; \
fontSize=9; \
bottomMargin=40; \
pageCount=`pdfinfo $in | grep "Pages:" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d" " -f2`; \
pspdftool "number(x=$pageNumberIndent pt, y=$bottomMargin pt, start=1, size=$fontSize, font=\"$font\")" $in tmp.pdf; \
pspdftool "text(x=$indent pt, y=$bottomMargin pt, size=$fontSize, font=\"$font\", text=\"page \")" tmp.pdf tmp.pdf; \
pspdftool "text(x=$pageCountIndent pt, y=$bottomMargin pt, size=$fontSize, font=\"$font\", text=\"out of $pageCount\")" tmp.pdf $out; \
rm tmp.pdf;

Here is the result:

A: Oh, it's a long time since I used postscript, but a quick dip into the blue book will tell you :) www-cdf.fnal.gov/offline/PostScript/BLUEBOOK.PDF
On the other hand, Adobe Acrobat and a bit of javascript would also do wonders ;)
Alternatively, I did find this: http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2005-May/006956.html, which seems to fit the bill (I didn't try it)

A: You can use the free and open source pdftools to add page numbers to a PDF file with a single command line.
The command line you could use is (on GNU/Linux you have to escape the $ sign in the shell, on Windows it is not necessary):
pdftools.py --input-file ./input/wikipedia_algorithm.pdf --output ./output/addtext.pdf --text "\$page/\$pages" br 1 1 --overwrite
Regarding the --text option:

*

*The first parameter is the text to add. Some placeholders are available. $page stands for the current page number, while $pages stands for the total number of pages in the PDF file. Thus the option so formulated would add something like "1/10" for the first page of a 10-page PDF document, and so on for the following pages

*The second parameter is the anchor point of the text box. "br" will position the bottom right corner of the text box

*The third parameter is the horizontal position of the anchor point of the text box as a percentage of the page width. Must be a number between 0 and 1, with the dot . separating decimals

*The fourth parameter option is the vertical position of the anchor point on the text box as a percentage of the page height. Must be a number between 0 and 1, with the dot . separating decimals

Disclaimer: I'm the author of pdftools

A: Based on rcs's proposed solution, I did the following:
Converted the document to example.pdf and ran pdflatex addpages, where addpages.tex reads:
\documentclass[8pt]{article}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\topmargin 70pt
\oddsidemargin 70pt

\pagestyle{fancy}
\rfoot{\Large\thepage}
\cfoot{}
\renewcommand {\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand {\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\begin{document}
\includepdfset{pagecommand=\thispagestyle{fancy}}
\includepdf[fitpaper=true,scale=0.98,pages=-]{example.pdf}
% fitpaper & scale aren't always necessary - depends on the paper being submitted.
\end{document}

or alternatively, for two-sided pages (i.e. with the page number consistently on the outside):
\documentclass[8pt]{book}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\topmargin 70pt
\oddsidemargin 150pt
\evensidemargin -40pt

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\Large\thepage}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\begin{document}
\includepdfset{pages=-,pagecommand=\thispagestyle{fancy}}
\includepdf{target.pdf}
\end{document}

Easy way to change header margins:
% set margins for headers, won't shrink included pdfs
% you can remove the topmargin/oddsidemargin/evensidemargin lines
\usepackage[margin=1in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}

A: you can simply use
pspdftool

*

*http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspdftool
in this way:
pspdftool 'number(x=-1pt,y=-1pt,start=1,size=10)' input.pdf output.pdf

see these two examples (unnumbered and numbered pdf with pspdftool)
unnumbered pdf
http://ge.tt/7ctUFfj2
numbered pdf
http://ge.tt/7ctUFfj2
with this as the first command-line argument:
number(start=1, size=40, x=297.5 pt, y=10 pt)

A: I used to add page numbers to my pdf using latex like in the accepted answer.
Now I found an easier way:
Use enscript to create empty pages with a header containing the page number, and then use pdftk with the multistamp option to put the header on your file.
This bash script expects the pdf file as it's only parameter:
#!/bin/bash
input="$1"
output="${1%.pdf}-header.pdf"
pagenum=$(pdftk "$input" dump_data | grep "NumberOfPages" | cut -d":" -f2)
enscript -L1 --header='||Page $% of $=' --output - < <(for i in $(seq "$pagenum"); do echo; done) | ps2pdf - | pdftk "$input" multistamp - output $output

A: I was looking for a postscript-only solution, using ghostscript. I needed this to merge multiple PDFs and put a counter on every page. Only solution I found was an old gs-devel posting, which I heavily simplified:
%!PS
% add page numbers document bottom right (20 units spacing , harcoded below)
% Note: Page dimensions are expressed in units of the default user space (72nds of an inch).
% inspired by https://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2005-May/006956.html

globaldict /MyPageCount 1 put % initialize page counter

% executed at the end of each page. Before calling the procedure, the interpreter
% pushes two integers on the operand stack:
% 1. a count of previous showpage executions for this device
% 2. a reason code indicating the circumstances under which this call is being made:
%    0: During showpage or (LanguageLevel 3) copypage
%    1: During copypage (LanguageLevel 2 only)
%    2: At device deactivation
% The procedure must return a boolean value specifying whether to transmit the page image to the
% physical output device.
<< /EndPage {
  exch pop % remove showpage counter (unused)

If you save this to a file called pagecount.ps you can use it on command line like this:
gs \
  -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \
  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
  -sOutputFile=/path/to/merged.pdf \
  -f pagecount.ps -f input1.pdf -f input2.pdf

Note that pagecount.ps must be given first (technically, right before the the input file which the page counting should start with).
If you don't want to use an extra .ps file, you can also use a minimized form like this:
gs \
  -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \
  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
  -sOutputFile=/path/to/merged.pdf \
  -c 'globaldict /MyPageCount 1 put << /EndPage {exch pop 0 eq dup {/Helvetica 12 selectfont MyPageCount =string cvs dup stringwidth pop currentpagedevice /PageSize get 0 get exch sub 20 sub 20 moveto show globaldict /MyPageCount MyPageCount 1 add put } if } bind >> setpagedevice' \
  -f input1.pdf -f input2.pdf

Depending on your input, you may have to use gsave/grestore at the beginning/end of the if block.

A: This might be a solution:

*

*convert postscript to pdf using ps2pdf

*create a LaTeX file and insert the pages using the pdfpages package (\includepdf)

*use pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}} or something from the fancyhdr package in the arguments of \includepdf

*if postscript output is required, convert the pdflatex output back to postscript via pdf2ps

A: I am assuming you are looking for a PS-based solution. There is no page-level operator in PS that will allow you to do this. You need to add a footer-sort of thingy in the PageSetup section for each page. Any scripting language should be able to help you along.

A: I tried pspdftool (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspdftool).
I eventually got it to work, but at first I got this error:
pspdftool: xreftable read error

The source file was created with pdfjoin from pdfjam, and contained a bunch of scans from my Epson Workforce as well as generated tag pages.  I couldn't figure out a way to fix the xref table, so I converted to ps with pdf2ps and back to pdf with pdf2ps.  Then I could use this to get nice page numbers on the bottom right corner:
pspdftool 'number(start=1, size=20, x=550 pt, y=10 pt)' input.pdf output.pdf

Unfortunately, it means that any text-searchable pages are no longer searchable because the text was rasterized in the ps conversion.  Fortunately, in my case it doesn't matter.
Is there any way to fix or empty the xref table of a pdf file without losing what pages are searchable?

A: I took captaincomic's solution and added support for filenames containing spaces, plus giving some more informations about the progress
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo
echo This skript adds pagenumbers to a given .pdf file.
echo
echo This skript needs the packages pdftk and enscript
echo if not installed the script will fail.
echo use the command sudo apt-get install pdftk enscript
echo to install.

echo input file is $input
echo output file will be $output
echo

enscript -L1 --header='||Page $% of $=' --output - < <(for i in $(seq "$pagenum"); do echo; done) | ps2pdf - | pdftk "$input" multistamp - output "$output"
echo done.

A: I wrote the following shell script to solve this for LaTeX beamer style slides produced with inkscape (I pdftk cat the slides together into the final presentation PDF & then add slide numbers using the script below):
#!/bin/sh

# create working directory
tmpdir=$(mktemp --directory)

# read un-numbered beamer slides PDF from STDIN & create temporary copy
cat > $tmpdir/input.pdf

# get total number of pages
pagenum=$(pdftk $tmpdir/input.pdf dump_data | awk '/NumberOfPages/{print $NF}')

# generate latex beamer document with the desired number of empty but numbered slides
printf '%s' '
\documentclass{beamer}
\usenavigationsymbolstemplate{}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\usepackage{forloop}
\begin{document}
 \newcounter{thepage}
  \forloop{thepage}{0}{\value{thepage} < '$pagenum'}{
    \begin{frame}
    \end{frame}
  }
\end{document}
' > $tmpdir/numbers.tex

# compile latex file into PDF (2nd run needed for total number of pages) & redirect output to STDERR
pdflatex -output-directory=$tmpdir numbers.tex >&2 && pdflatex -output-directory=$tmpdir numbers.tex >&2

# add empty numbered PDF slides as background to (transparent background) input slides (page by
# page) & write results to STDOUT
pdftk $tmpdir/input.pdf multibackground $tmpdir/numbers.pdf output -

# remove temporary working directory with all intermediate files
rm -r $tmpdir >&2

The script reads STDIN & writes STDOUT printing diagnostic pdflatex output to STDERR.
So just copy-paste the above code in a text file, say enumerate_slides.sh, make it executable (chmod +x enumerate_slides.sh) & call it like this:
./enumerate_slides.sh < input.pdf > output.pdf [2>/dev/null]

It should be easy to adjust this to any other kind of document by adjusting the LaTeX template to use the proper documentclass, paper size & style options.
edit:
I replaced echo by $(which echo) since in ubuntu symlinks /bin/sh to dash which overrides the echo command by a shell internal interpreting escape sequences by default & not providing the -E option to override this behaviour. Note that alternatively you could escape all \ in the LaTeX template as \\.
edit:
I replaced $(which echo) by printf '%s' since in zsh, which echo returns echo: shell built-in command instead of /bin/echo.
See this question for details why I decided to use printf in the end.

A: Maybe pstops (part of psutils) can be used for this?

A: I have used LibreOffice Calc for this. Adding a page number field is easy using Insert->Field->Page Number. And then you can copy-and-paste this field to other pages; fortunately the position is not changed and the copy-and-paste can be done quickly with down arrow key and Ctrl+V. Worked for me for a 30 page article. Maybe prone to errors for a 500+ one!

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec 3 2012 (IPS) - According to a survey conducted by the Brazilian Water Program, 64 percent of Brazilians still do not have access to selective waste collection as a means of recycling. Among those excluded from selective waste collection services, 85 percent said they would be willing to separate recyclable waste if they had the opportunity, the study revealed. The Brazilian Water Program was created though a partnership between the state bank Banco do Brasil, the Brazilian chapter of the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), and the National Water Agency.
"The deadline set by the National Solid Waste Policy for municipalities to offer selective waste collection and eliminate dumpsters is less than two years away. At this rate of progress, the targets will not be met," Fábio Cidrin of WWF- Brazil told Tierramérica.

Riverina Community for Nuclear Disarmament (1982-1984)
To understand why the Riverina Community for Nuclear Disarmament was established and active in 1982-84, we must apply a certain degree of historicism to the period. Until the Regan Administration came to office in the United States in 1980, the cold war had entered into a period of detente. The aggressive foreign policy of the Regan administration only had the consequence of renewing cold war tensions. By the mid-1980s, the nuclear arms race had reached staggering and dangerous proportions, as weapons capable of world wide destruction were manufactured at an incredible rate. Australia's contribution to the cold war included military installations, such as Pine Gap, and permission for US warships to enter our ports armed with nuclear weapons. Whilst the Australian Government saw this as a means to insure protection in this region, and an opportunity to cut spending on its own defence needs, it put the nation on a Soviet list of possible nuclear targets. Whether the Australian people liked it or not, they were part of the nuclear cold war.
The early 1980's nuclear disarmament movement was a major political issue, with grass roots community activism driving much of the protest over Australia's role in the cold war. Across local municipalities and regions throughout Australia, the idea of 'nuclear-free zones' was actively encouraged and advocated. While the 'nuclear-free zone' plan was embraced readily across the inner suburbs of Sydney, lobbying in the Riverina wasn't that successful. In 1982, the Riverina Community for Nuclear Disarmament asked State MP, Joe Shipp, to support the proposal of a 'nuclear-free zone' for the Riverina. Uncertain of the implications of such a move, he replied "I'll sit on the fence on that one for a while" (Riverina Leader, 5 May 1982, p. 11).
From the documents in the collection, held at the Regional Archives, it appears that the Riverina Community for Nuclear Disarmament group was particularly strong with educational campaigns. Activities organised included film nights designed to create an awareness of the drastic effects of a nuclear war. In 1983, the Riverina Community for Nuclear Disarmament fell into conflict with the Wagga Wagga sub-branch of the RSL for displaying anti-nuclear information on the notice board at the community library. The then sub-branch president argued that the poster and article on display were "lampooning two of Australia's dearest allies, England and the United States"(The Daily Advertiser, 23 August 1983, p. 9).
What is unique about the Regional Archives' collection is that it represents not only the establishment and work of the Riverina Community for Nuclear Disarmament, but the divisions within a community and nation caught up in the cold war.

Q: Commuting intersection and projection of convex polytope I have a convex polytope $P\in\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$. I denote coordinates of an element $p\in P$ by $p(k)$.
I need to compute the intersection of this polytope with a subspace given by some number of equality constraints acting only on the first $n$ dimensions
$\{E^i\equiv \sum_{k=1}^n\beta^i_k P(k)=c^i\}_i$.
Afterwards, I need to project the resulting polytope onto a subspace given by equality constraints acting only on the second $m$ dimensions, specifically
$P(k)=0\quad\forall k\in\{n+1\ldots n+m\}$.
I want to know if I can perform the projection first and the cut after in this particular scenario. Intuitively, it seems to me that since the constraints for the cut are on acting on separate dimensions than the ones of the projection, this might be possible, but I am neither sure if this is true nor do I know how I could potentially prove this.
For some context: I only know the V-representation of $P$, and computing the intersection first and the projection second would be quite computationally difficult. Also is is actually a parametrized family of polytopes, and if I was able to perform to the two operations in the reverse order I might be able to get at least some valid parametrized inequalities of the final polytope.
I would be happy for any pointers on how to approach this. It does not seem to be a problem that is encountered very often, at least my search did not yield any results.

Marlon Shirley (born April 21, 1978) is a paralympic athlete from the United States competing mainly in category T44 events.

Biography
Marlon's early life was spent in foster care around Las Vegas, and his left foot was amputated at the age of five after a lawnmower accident in an orphanage in Boulder City, Nevada. His life was turned around at the age of nine when he was adopted by a family in Tremonton, Utah.

Marlon Shirley competed in the 2000 Summer Paralympics long jump, as well as a silver in the high jump and a gold in the 100m.  He then defended his 100m title in 2004 Summer Paralympics where he also won a silver in the 200m and a bronze in long jump.  He competed in just the 100m at the 2008 Summer Paralympics but could not defend his title, due to a ruptured achilles.

What's the Connection with Georgia Peanuts and Salmonella Tennessee?
By Salmonella Attorney on January 31, 2009
We all remember that on June 1, 2007, the CDC reported that a total of 628 persons had been infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella serotype Tennessee in 47 states since August 1, 2006. Rumor has it that that number was actually in excess of 700 – perhaps 714? Those illnesses were eventually linked to ConAgra's Sylvester Georgia Peter Pan and Great Value Peanut Butter Plant. Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Serotype Tennessee Infections Associated with Peanut Butter — United States, 2006—2007.
Now, As of January 29, 2009, the CDC reported that a total of 529 persons had been infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium in 43 states since September 1, 2008. The illnesses have been linked to Peanut Corporation of America's (PCA) Blakely Georgia Peanut Butter Plant – 70 miles from Sylvester. Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Infections Associated with Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter–Containing Products — United States, 2008—2009.
A close reading on the recent CDC's recent report notes an interesting connection between the 2007 outbreak and the recent one – "A possible association between the two outbreaks warrants further investigation…. The relationship of the S. Tennessee finding to the current outbreak is being investigated further." The reason for the connection is that on January 22, Minnesota Department of Health found that a previously unopened container of King Nut peanut butter collected from the North Dakota distributor yielded Salmonella serotype Tennessee with a PFGE pattern that was indistinguishable from an outbreak strain in the multistate outbreak in 2006–2007 caused by contaminated peanut butter. ("tip o' the pen to" Newday's Delthia Ricks for asking the question at one of the FDA/CDC Press Conferences).
Interesting connection? Did PCA or one of its suppliers provide peanuts or peanut products to ConAgra in 2006? Perhaps environmental? Perhaps somehow linked to raw peanuts grown in Georgia? Perhaps linked to animal populations that enjoy the Southwest Georgia location?
More to come I imagine.

Northwest to welcome visiting artist Chintia Kirana
February 16, 2020, 3 years ago
The Northwest Missouri State University Department of Fine and Performing Arts will host an exhibition by Indonesian-American multidisciplinary artist Chintia Kirana February 17 through March 27.
The lecture begins at 7 pm, Monday, February 17, in the Charles Johnson Theater at the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building. The lecture will be followed by a reception and the exhibition opening in the Olive DeLuce Gallery. The event is free and open to the public.
"Chintia is an Indonesian refugee who has become an important artist, arts activist and arts advocate," said Dr. Michael Faris, a Northwest assistant professor of art. "She maintains a working studio for her practice in Montgomery, AL. She helped to start both 'Expose Art' magazine and the non-profit organization Expose Art. She has also worked to maintain the Expose Art House, which is a gallery for art exhibits. She is a very important figure in the art world."
Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, Kirana was captivated by the art world at early age. Due to a political uprising in 1999, she and her family left Indonesia and immigrated to the United States. The move granted her an opportunity to obtain formal art training and ultimately turn her childhood passion into a lifelong vocation. Her childhood obsession of collecting and her fascination with time are well-manifested into her sensible studio practice.
Kirana holds a master of fine arts degree in painting and drawing from Southern Illinois University. She co-founded "Expose Art" magazine, a global contemporary art publication serving more than 10,000 art enthusiasts worldwide.
She founded Expose Art House – an alternative art space offering residencies, exhibitions, artist talks and workshops in Montgomery – and a nonprofit arts organization called Expose Art. Her primary mission through these artistic initiatives is to create an all-inclusive forum for creative minds to openly share their diverse, unique views on the role of art in the realm of cultural, political and philosophical injustices.
Through the span of a decade, Kirana's work has been featured at a multitude of solo, group and juried exhibitions across the United States and abroad in venues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Dhaka National Museum of Art, Sienna Art Academy, Zhou B Art Center and ISE Cultural Foundation.
Kirana's lecture and exhibit are sponsored by Northwest's department of fine and performing arts and the college of arts and sciences as well as the Missouri Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

China Glaze Optical Illusion - Polish This!
Today I'm going to show you my favourite polish from China Glaze Prismatic collection: Optical Illusion.
I was a bit surprised that this ended up being my favourite one, I thought it would surely be the purple one, but no, I think this is really the pretties one. The duochrome effect isn't very strong on nail with this one, but it is still there. And really, the color is so pretty even without a strong duochrome effect. Like Scrangie said in her review, the color makes me think of mermaids. The other colors from this collection didn't really wow me, but I do love this one!
