The share of applicants granted full equivalence in Germany varies widely by individual professions and by professional groups. The proportion of applicants who received full equivalence is especially high in the sales and healthcare sectors.
The share of applicants granted full equivalence in Germany varies widely by individual professions and by professional groups. As shown in Figure 1, the proportion of applicants who received full equivalence is especially high in the sales and healthcare sectors. The success rate in the law and administration sector is, on the contrary, extremely low due to significant differences in the law and administration systems among the countries. The success rate in the technical research, development, construction and production control sector as well as in the tourism, hotel and catering sector is not so low, but still below 50%.


The U.S. government on April 7 issued the public review draft of its fifth "national communication" required under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). U.S. Climate Action Report 2010 is the first comprehensive statement so far from the Obama Administration on actions the U.S. is taking at all levels to address climate change. The U.S. is one of only four countries that has not yet submitted its report, which was due on January 1.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) requires periodic "national communications" from industrialized countries listed in Annex I of the convention.
So far, all Annex I countries have each submitted four reports over the years. The fifth national communications were due January 1, 2010. All but these four countries have submitted reports: U.S., Monaco, Slovenia and Turkey. See this table for a listing of the reports that have been submitted; all are available online.
In the United States, the State Department is the lead agency in producing the report, and the report here is typically referred to as the "Climate Action Report." Four have been produced so far and are often referred to as CAR-1, CAR-2, CAR-3 and CAR-4; or by the year published (Climate Action Report 2006, etc). The first two were produced under Clinton and the 3rd and 4th reports were published under Bush. They have been the only routine and comprehensive statements to the world community of what the U.S. is doing on climate change.
Once reports are issued, the Secretariat organizes "in depth reviews" of each report (which are publicly available) and ultimately produces a "compilation and synthesis" report.
The forthcoming report, called U.S. Climate Action Report 2010, also will be late. The process started with a Federal Register notice announcing that the production of the CAR had begun, soliciting comments and providing a rough schedule. That notice was issued on July 30, 2009, and indicated that the draft would be available "in fall of 2009." That schedule obviously slipped. The FR Notice that published on April 8 finally marks the release of the draft and the beginning of the public review process. One the review is over, the report will be revised and released in final form late this spring or during the summer.
Climate Action Report 2002. Third National Communication. Also available online here. Available on CD from the GCRIO Online Catalog. See also Report on the in-depth review of the third national communication of the United States of America [PDF] , published (21 Sept 2004) by the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Climate Action Report (1997). Second National Communication. [PDF]. See also Report on the in-depth review of the second national communication of the United States of America [PDF] , published (12 May 1999) by the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Climate Action Report (1994). First National Communication. See also Report on the in-depth review of the first national communication of the United States of America [PDF] , published (26 February 1996) by the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Additional discussion, for the record, of what transpired in connection with the Bush Administration's release of the Third Climate Action Report in 2002 will be the subject of a separate post.

Arianna Huffington's Thrive Global to create 40 jobs in Dublin
by Jack Kennedy
The company's new engineering centre is based on Mount Street Upper and will have a 'guaranteed flexible, hybrid work culture'.
Thrive Global, Arianna Huffington's workplace wellness start-up, is opening a Dublin engineering centre that will create up to 40 jobs in the capital. Its offices will be based on Mount Street Upper, just off Merrion Square.
The company plans to hire across product, engineering and design functions. Thrive Global's careers page currently lists Dublin openings for back-end engineers, front-end engineers, DevOps engineers and a technical recruiter position.
The company says all the engineering roles are "remote friendly" and are open to candidates from across Europe.
Thrive Global was founded in 2016, aiming to address "the stress and burnout epidemic" through its behaviour change technology platform for companies. It currently has more than 100 client organisations in 40 countries.
Making the announcement, Huffington said: "When we launched Thrive Global in 2016, the epidemic of stress and burnout was already global. No country has been immune. So our solutions have to be global as well. And that's why I'm excited to announce another milestone in Thrive Global's journey: the opening of Thrive Global Dublin.
Hiring Now
Join us to create the technology of tomorrow
Always at the cutting edge of new innovation
Invent. Impact. Inspire.
Excellence in research for innovation and analytics
"As we expand our footprint around the world — with offices in New York, San Francisco, Athens, Bucharest, Melbourne and now Dublin — we're also expanding our reach and impact at a time when the hunger for solutions is stronger than ever."
The company said its new Dublin base will offer a "guaranteed flexible, hybrid work culture" in line with its mission. Thrive Global's CTO, Hugh O'Brien, told the Irish Times that just two of the five floors in the Dublin office have desks.
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar, TD, added: "I'm really pleased to hear that Thrive Global will be opening a new engineering office in Dublin, creating 40 new jobs.
"Events over the past year and a half have forced us to change the way we work, and the work of companies like Thrive will be instrumental in helping us identify and adapt to the new opportunities we will have once the pandemic is over.
"I'm especially happy to see that these new jobs will offer a flexible, hybrid work culture, something the Government is keen to see more of. I wish the team the very best of luck as they take this next step in expanding their operations."
The expansion announcement comes a month after Thrive Global's $80m Series C funding round in early July. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins and Owl Ventures, and reportedly brings the company's value to $700m.

# DevTools Digest (CDS Edition): A Glimpse into the Future and RAIL Profiling {: .page-title }

{% include "web/_shared/contributors/pbakaus.html" %}

Learn how DevTools is going mobile first with a new, streamlined Device Mode that's always on. Use the color buttons to quickly add colors to your selectors and find out what's coming to DevTools soon.

## A glimpse into the future of authoring

We're just coming back from the Chrome Dev Summit where I showed you what working with DevTools looks like today and in the future. I usually don't mention any features that are still experiments or heavy works of progress in this digest but I'm making an exception this time. If you don't have time to watch the whole talk, here's the gist:

### Device Mode version 2

We're still heavily working on this new, bold iteration of the **Device Mode** but wanted to give everyone an opportunity to try it out, so we've enabled it in your Canary today. With the changes, we are pushing DevTools into a mobile-first future where mobile development is the default, and Desktop development is the "add-on". Expect more iteration over the next few weeks with an extended blog post when we're done.

### Powerful animation inspection

The work-in-progress **Animation Inspection** gives you a full, detailed picture over what's happening on anything moving. Instead of showing you a transition on one element at a time, we added heuristics that group complex animations so you can focus on all you're seeing. Have a look at the video. We'll offer a bigger, standalone blog post when we're fully launched.

### Layout Mode (sneak peek)

Not quite ready for prime time but very promising is the new Layout Mode, a feature I can't wait to see fully built out. The Layout Mode adds WYSIWYG editing capabilities to DevTools for any element on the page. So far, the height, width, paddings and margins can be edited in context. It's going to take a little longer until we're ready to let you try but we'll keep you updated.

## Performance profiling with the updated Timeline panel

As part of a bigger push of introducing the new [RAIL performance model](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO9GGY17NXY), there have been hundreds of smaller and bigger changes to the Timeline panel, and together they transform and improve the performance profiling story quite a bit. So instead of showing every individual change in isolation, our own Paul Irish showed us how to properly debug the performance of a site, in this case the mobile site of Hotel Tonight, live on stage. Among the newly announced features are the [load and performance film strips](/web/updates/2015/07/devtools-digest-film-strip-and-a-new-home-for-throttling), the **included network waterfall**, the **treeview summary** and the ability to view **perf costs by domain & file**.

## Easily add foreground and background colors to any element

Whenever you wanted to add a background-color or color property to your element, you couldn't just open the color picker. Instead, most of you type in something like "background: red;" each time so the color picker icon appears, then choose the actual color you wanted.

We thought we could simplify this. We added two nifty buttons that appear when hovering over the bottom right corner of a selector, allowing you to add a color and bring up the picker with a single click:

## The best of the rest

  * We've wasted a lot of previous real estate in the Style panel by showing **generic media types**. We now hide that stuff before your selectors if it's not unusual!
  * You can now **long hover over a CSS selector** in the Style panel to see how many elements on the page it applies to.
  * Didn't give up on printing yet? **Print media emulation** is still around to see how your page would look like when printed – we just moved it to the Rendering Settings.
  * When choosing an element to inspect, we now auto-expand and close the relevant DOM sub tree. Hard to explain, [seeing is believing](https://twitter.com/ChromeDevTools/status/661234102025121792).

As always, [let us know what you think via
Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=%40ChromeDevTools) or the
comments below, and submit bugs to [crbug.com/new](https://crbug.com/new).

Until next month!

Here's a fun thought experiment: suppose the let's-break-up-the-big-banks crew had had its wish granted prior to the credit crunch, so that the doomed subprime mortgage paper created during the runup of the housing market wasn't owned by a relatively few large institutions, but was sprinkled instead among dozens or even hundreds of the kind of smaller lenders the anti-biggies seem to think would be preferable. What would have happened then?
It still would have been ugly. First, the wave of defaults still would have occurred, except that its pattern would've been more reminiscent of the credit crackup of the early 1990s-during which hundreds of small thrifts did indeed collectively keel over-than what actually happened. That might even have been a worse result, since (as I recall from those days) the S&Ls back then weren't especially well-diversified and were thus more vulnerable to a credit shock. In any event, if you're looking for ways to protect the taxpayer in the wake the next financial panic, the experience of 20 years ago isn't encouraging.
The more I think about this anti-big-bank obsession, the more I'm puzzled by it.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE MORTGAGE INTEREST DEDUCTION, AGAIN?
Interesting question but somehow I doubt that a large number of small institutions would've had the appetite for that crappy paper. Nobody could rationally think that no doc, 100% (or more) LTVs were a good idea unless they drank the koolaid served up by the "sophisticated" models that only the big boys had. For the smaller banks in that arena, it was all about selling the crap upstream. It's the big guys that thought they could manage the risk.

As an attorney defending drivers in DWI cases, I look to the video, whether mobile, body cam, in-station or from a pole outside a 7-Eleven store, to find out what really happened.
By Peter Lederman
Published in the New Jersey Law Journal
My generation was probably the first to grow up watching television. I remember the little black and white TV in my room where I watched immortal classics such as Howdy Doody, Captain Video, Superman and the Lone Ranger. I suppose I should have spent more time curled up with a good book or communing with nature, but TV, even the terrible TV of the early years, was like a drug whose grip I could not break. I was seduced, under the spell and captive to an unrelenting gravitational force from which there was no release.
Truth is, I still find myself staring at video images, albeit on a much larger screen part of a more sophisticated video system. Captain Video and Howdy are long gone and it's usually not worth the time to watch the Mets play these days. Nope, instead of watching the Lone Ranger and Superman, I find myself in front of a screen, watching countless mobile and in-station videos that are prepared for different purposes by law enforcement.
Many police departments maintain extensive in-station video to create a record of what happens within their stations. Mobile video systems have been used for years. Sometimes referred to as "dash cams," these systems automatically engage when overhead lights start flashing. They can also be activated before a driver is "lit up" by flipping a switch in the patrol car. There are also closed circuit cameras installed in public areas which provide a view of what occurs below on the street.
The newest rage of course, is body cameras, commonly referred to as body cams. Clipped on the officer's uniform, these small devices see and hear everything the officer sees and hears. While not perfect, they are an improvement over fixed cameras and mobile video that mostly see through the windshield of the patrol car. This can be a problem. As anyone who has represented a defendant in a State Police DWI case knows, the driver is always taken in front of his car and out of the sight of the camera, for administration of field sobriety tests. These tests usually determine whether a driver drives home or is transported to the local police station or barracks for breath testing. The ability to actually see the driver perform these tests is crucial when representing a defendant.
On the other hand, body cams go where the officer goes. If the driver is taken to the front of his car and out of the sight of the dash cam, the body cam goes along with him. There is no more excuse that "safety" considerations prevent creation of a record of what really happened on the street.
I've seen body cams in action and have represented clients whose cases were resolved because of what they recorded. A good example involved a client who was taken to the neighboring town for breath testing when the local breath test device malfunctioned. The officer of course, is responsible to conduct the 20 minutes of observation after arriving at the other station, before the breath test can begin. Through the lens of the Body Cam then, we can see the defendant sitting across from the officer, who engages the defendant in conversation to pass the time. The 20-minute clock is ticking when another driver arrives for breath testing because of the same problem.
What happens next changes the outcome of our case and results from a body cam that just keeps absorbing images and sounds. The officer gets up from his seat in the breath testing room, goes to the next room to greet his fellow officer and engages the young lady who has just arrived in conversation. End of 20 minutes of observation, end of breath test, end of per se violation. Of course, the officer's report reflects that the proper observations were made without interruption before the breath test was conducted.
As an attorney defending drivers in DWI cases, I look to the video, whether mobile, body cam, in-station or from a pole outside a 7-Eleven store, to find out what really happened. This is because officers and troopers seem to prove the proposition that creating a record with the written word is a lost art. I am being generous.
Many reports are cut and pasted or at best reflect a "templet" which the Officer or Trooper has committed to memory. I once represented a driver stopped on a bridge, fortunately for him, under a camera on a light pole. The officer's report described in detail how my client failed all of the field sobriety tests conducted after he was asked to step from his car. Unfortunately for the officer, the video showed how the Officer approached the car, opened the door, pulled the driver out of the car and arrested him. No field sobriety tests were administered, no less failed.
The New Jersey Supreme Court recently found that video recordings were essential discovery that a prosecutor was bound to provide. In State v. Stein, the court rejected the State's proposition that videos did not have to be produced. Rather, it held that videos were required to conduct fair and just trials.
Of course, the real question will be whether towns and other jurisdictions purchase equipment that will provide video evidence. Recent legislation requiring this was found to create an unconstitutional burden on local government by The Council on Local Mandates. One might conclude that legislation without adequate funding was simply a cynical exercise. If there was a will, the legislature would have found a way, perhaps using the Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund which brings significant funds back to towns for extra duty DWI patrols and related enforcement activities.
Bottom line is that videos matter. Forget my old childhood standards. I'll take this reality TV any time.

Pretty Sweet Tech: To Sync or Not to Sync?
Have you ever opened Google Chrome on your smartphone and filled out a form online? Then when you got home, did you try to fill out another form and have the blanks automatically fill in? That wasn't an accident. When you sync your devices or accounts together, Google is able to share information between those devices. Sometimes this is helpful. Other times, not so much.
Google is very transparent about which types of data it collects: https://safety.google/privacy/data/. This site will give you a rundown of the types of data that are stored and how Google says they use the information. There are just a couple points I want to touch on here.
1. When you download Google Chrome, it will ask if you want to sync your Google account to this particular browser. When you're on a home or personal computer, this can be helpful. But if you're loading Chrome on a work or shared computer, you don't necessary want everyone using that computer to have access to your Google search history, photos, personal information, and anything stored in Google's information banks.
If you've already synced Google Chrome at work with your Google accounts at home, fear not! Here are instructions to unsync your accounts. With just a few clicks, you can make your forms stop autofilling your home address.
2. The other quick tidbit is about using Google Docs at home and at work. Feel free to make two separate accounts through Google docs. Then you can remove your home account from your work account. Here's how to delete your Google Account Information from a device.
Protecting patron search and material use history is important in libraries. Librarians should have the same protections! Remember, your privacy is your own.

Microsoft discovers hacking targeting democratic institutions in Europe
Microsoft Corp on Wednesday said it had discovered hacking targeting democratic institutions, think tanks and non-profit organisations in Europe.
It, consequently, said it plans to offer a cyber security service to several countries to close the security gaps.
The attacks occurred between September and December 2018, targeting employees of the German Council on Foreign Relations and European offices of The Aspen Institute and The German Marshall Fund, the company said here in a blog post.
Microsoft said the activity, which was found through the company's Threat Intelligence Centre and Digital Crimes Unit, targeted 104 employee accounts in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Romania and Serbia.
It said many of the attacks originated from a group called Strontium, which the company has previously associated with the Russian government.
Strontium, one of the world's oldest cyber espionage groups, has also been called APT 28, Fancy Bear, Sofancy and Pawn Storm by a range of security firms and government officials.
Security firm, CrowdStrike, said the group may be associated with the Russian military intelligence agency GRU.
Microsoft said it will expand its cyber security service AccountGuard to 12 new markets in Europe including Germany, France and Spain to help customers secure their accounts.
The AccountGuard service would also be available in Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal and Slovakia.
Ahead of a critical European Parliament election in May, German officials are trying to bolster cyber security after a far-reaching data breach by a 20-year-old student laid bare the vulnerability of Europe's largest economy.

Disparity between Nigeria's economic and population growth rates indicates growing poverty —Report
A research report by the FSDH Merchant Bank has said the disparity between the growth rates of the Nigerian economy and its population shows that poverty is on the increase in the country.
According to the report titled 'Final Judgment on Performance of the Nigerian Economy: Implications', The Nigerian economy is growing slower than the growth rate in its population.
"This means that the economy is not expanding in such a way that can create enough job opportunities for the unemployed population, which the National Bureau of Statistics put at 21million as at Q3 2018," the report stated.
The FSDH research also noted that ahead of the presidential election, the NBS released its final judgment on the performance of the Nigerian economy in 2018, adding that the report containing the judgment showed that the Nigerian economy had continued to recover. The economy expanded by 1.93 per cent in full year 2018, higher than 0.82 per cent recorded in 2017.
"The Nigerian economy is growing slower than the growth rate in its population, an indication of growing poverty! This means that the economy is not expanding in such a way that can create enough job opportunities for the unemployed population, which the NBS put at 21million as at Q3 2018."
The report that said this is the sad reality, however added that there was a way out.
Nigeria could grow at above six per cent if appropriate policies and the will power to implement the policies were in place, it said.
"If you are searching sectors of the economy to start a business or to lend money to, you should be looking at the fastest growing or largest sectors of the economy," the FSDH stated.
According to the report, these sectorsare where policymakers could easily achieve tangible results to show the impacts of their policies on the economy.
It said: "The most influential sectors that drove performance in FY 2018 are: Information and communication; agriculture; manufacturing, transportation and storage, and mining and quarrying sectors.
"The five fastest growing sectors on average between Q1 2017 – Q4 2018 are electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply; transportation and storage; water supply, sewage, waste management and remediation; information and communication and mining and quarrying."
The report further noted that the fragile recovery in the economy meant that additional policies which would fast-track economic activities in the country were urgently required.
"This meant it would be a hard sell for the Central Bank of Nigeria to increase key interest rates in the country, it stated.
"Increase in the key interest rates like Monetary Policy Rate, Cash Reserve Requirement and Liquidity Rate may not be in view in the short-term.
"Usually, an increase in the MPR, CRR and LR may help to reduce a high inflation rate and keep the foreign exchange rate stable.
"However, such actions have the tendency to reduce economic growth, effectively it added.
"The growing recovery in the economy, if sustained, would reduce the business risks inherent in the country, which usually scared away investors", the report said.
FOREX: Central Bank of Nigeria intervenes with another $210m
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has injected another $210 million into the foreign exchange market in continuation of its intervention in the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange Market.
According to the CBN Director, Corporate Communications, Mr Isaac Okoroafor, in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, the apex bank offered $100m as wholesale interventions and allocated $55m to Small and Medium Enterprises, while another $55m was allocated to customers requiring foreign exchange for business and personal travels, tuition or medical fees.
Imitators further explained that Tuesday's interventions were in continuation of the bank's resolve to sustain the high level of stability in the foreign exchange market and also to continue to ease access to the currency by customers in different sectors.
Okoroafor said the CBN was optimistic that the Naira would sustain its run against the dollar and other major currencies around the world, considering the level of transparency in the market.
Egypt executes 9 persons for killing attorney-general
Egyptian authorities have executed nine men convicted over the 2015 killing of the country's attorney-general, Hisham Barakat, the Egyptian newspaper, El Watan reported Wednesday.
The men were among a group of 28 who were sentenced to death in the case in 2017. Barakat was killed in a car bomb attack on his convoy in the capital, Cairo.
Egypt blamed the Muslim Brotherhood and Gaza-based Hamas militants for the operation. Both groups denied having a role.
Rights group Amnesty International had appealed on Tuesday for authorities to halt the executions, citing testimony by the defendants that they had been secretly detained and tortured into confessing.
Since 2013, the year that then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi military ousted President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian criminal courts have issued hundreds of death sentences.
Only a small proportion have been carried out, though the rate of executions has risen since 2015, rights activists say.
El Watan newspaper said the executions were carried out on Wednesday morning. The newspapers gave the names of the executed as Ahmad Taha, Abu Alqasim Ahmed, Ahmed Jamal Hijazi, Mahmoud Al Ahmadi, Abu Bakr Al Sayed, Abdul Rahman Sulaiman, Ahmed Mohammed, Ahmed Mahrous Sayed and Islam Mohammed.
The newspaper also published the confessions of the men about their involvement in the assassination of Barakat by bombing.
Their execution followed six others carried out earlier this month. Three of those were convicted over the killing of a police office in September 2013, and three over the killing of a judge's son the following year.
In both cases the defendants or their lawyers had said torture was used to extract confessions, according to Amnesty International.
Sisi, who was elected president in 2014 and re-elected last year, says he is working to bring stability and security to Egypt following the turmoil of the 2011 uprising.
China's former military chief sentenced to life imprisonment
A military court on Wednesday convicted Fang Fenghui, former Chief of Staff of China's Central Military Commission Joint Staff Department, on three counts of crime.
The court sentenced him to life imprisonment according to the law.
Fang was found guilty of accepting and offering bribe as well as holding a huge amount of property from unidentified sources.
"He was also deprived of his political rights for life and had his personal properties confiscated,'' the judgment stated.
Report says the illicit money and properties confiscated will be turned over to the state coffers.
3 UK Conservative MPs resign from party
Three Conservative MPs resigned from their party to join The Independent Group of eight Labour MPs who earlier this week formed a breakaway centrist faction in parliament.
The three MPs — Sarah Wollaston, Heidi Allen and Anna Soubry — have been highly critical of Prime Minister Theresa May's strategy on Brexit and have voted against the government on that issue.
In a joint letter to the prime minister they accuse May of a "shift to the right" and of being "firmly in the grip" of the Brexiteer group of backbenchers, the European Research Group, and the Democratic Unionist Party.
"Instead of seeking to heal the divisions or to tackle the underlying causes of Brexit, the priority was to draw up 'red lines,'" they wrote. "The 48% were not only sidelined, they were alienated.
"The country deserves better. We believe there is a failure of politics in general, not just in the Conservative party but in both main parties as they move to the fringes, leaving millions of people with no representation. Our politics needs urgent and radical reform and we are determined to play our part."
May's conservatives do not have a majority in parliament and are only able to govern because of a confidence and supply deal with the DUP.
Venezuela's military on red alert for US aid invasion
Venezuela's military said Tuesday it was on alert at its frontiers following threats by US President Donald Trump and suspended air and sea links with the island of Curacao ahead of a planned aid shipment.
Opposition leader and self-declared interim president Juan Guaido has vowed to bring aid in from various points Saturday "one way or another" despite military efforts to block it.
But commanders doubled down on their allegiance to President Nicolas Maduro after Trump urged them to abandon him.
"The armed forces will remain deployed and on alert along the borders… to avoid any violations of territorial integrity," said Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino.
Regional commander Vladimir Quintero later confirmed media reports that Venezuela had ordered the suspension of air and sea links with Curacao and the nearby Netherlands Antilles islands of Aruba and Bonaire.
Shipments of food and medicine for Venezuelans suffering in the country's economic crisis have become a focus of the power struggle between Maduro and Guaido.
Aid is being stored in Colombia near the Venezuelan border and Guaido aims also to bring in consignments via Brazil and Curacao, which is off the coast of Venezuela.
A Brazilian presidential spokesman said the country was cooperating with the United States to supply aid to Venezuela but would leave it to Venezuelans to take the goods over the border.
Maduro says the aid plan is a smokescreen for a US invasion. He blames US sanctions and "economic war" for Venezuela's crisis.
Guaido, the 35-year-old leader of the Venezuelan legislature, has appealed to military leaders to switch allegiance to him and let the aid through.
He has offered military commanders an amnesty if they abandon Maduro.
But the military high command has so far maintained its public backing for Maduro — seen as key to keeping him in power.
"We reiterate unrestrictedly our obedience, subordination and loyalty" to Maduro, Padrino said.
Guaido posted a series of tweets calling by name on senior military leaders commanding border posts to abandon Maduro.
He has branded Maduro illegitimate, saying the elections that returned the socialist leader to power last year were fixed.
The United States and some 50 other countries back Guaido as interim president.
Trump has refused to rule out US military action in Venezuela. He raised the pressure on Monday, issuing a warning to the Venezuelan military.
He told them that if they continue to support Maduro, "you will find no safe harbor, no easy exit and no way out. You will lose everything."
Padrino rejected Trump's threat, branding the US president "arrogant."
If foreign powers try to help install a new government by force, they will have to do so "over our dead bodies," Padrino said.
Venezuela's deputy military attache at the UN announced Tuesday he was siding with Guaido.
"I declare myself to be in total and absolute disobedience to the illegally constituted government of Mr. Nicolas Maduro," Colonel Pedro Jose Chirinos said in a video posted on social media.
Since Guaido declared himself interim president on January 23, he has received the support of an army colonel and an air force general, neither of whom actually have any troops under their command, a retired air force major general and a number of lower-level officers.

Trade Mark Rules 2017
The Trade Mark Rules, 2017 have been notified and have come into effect from 06th March, 2017. These Rules, which replace the erstwhile Trade Mark Rules 2002, will streamline and simplify the processing of Trade Mark applications.
Some salient features of the revamped Rules are as follows:
•	Number of Trade Mark (TM) Forms have been reduced from 74 to 8.
•	To promote e-filing of TM applications, the fee for online filing has been kept at 10% lower than that for physical filing.
•	Based on stakeholders feedback, the fees for Individuals, Start-ups and Small Enterprises have been reduced from that proposed in the draft Rules – i.e. only Rs 4,500 as against Rs 8,000 for e-filing of TM applications proposed at the draft stage.
•	Modalities for determination of well-known trademarks have been laid out for the first time.
•	The provisions relating to expedited processing of an application for registration of a trade mark have been extended right upto registration stage (hitherto, it was only upto examination stage).
•	Over all fees have been rationalized by reducing the number of entries in Schedule I from 88 to just 23.
•	Modalities for service of documents from applicants to the Registry and vice-versa through electronic means have been introduced to expedite the process; e-mail has been made an essential part of address for service to be provided by the applicant or any party to the proceedings so that the office communication may be sent through email.
•	Hearing through video conferencing has been introduced.
•	Number of adjournments in opposition proceedings has been restricted to a maximum of two by each party, which will help dispose off matters in time.
•	Procedures relating to registration as Registered User of trademarks have also been simplified.
It may be recalled that the examination time for a TM application has already been brought down from 13 months to just 1 month in January 2017; this is despite a stupendous 35% jump in TM filings in 2015-16 vis a vis the previous year. The new Rules should give a boost to the Intellectual Property Regime in India.

Create Your Best !: The Complicated World of Emotions !
In this article I am using few key learnings from the movie "Inside Out" to share about the complicated world of Emotions.
The world of emotions is very delicate but quite complicated. It can capsize our lives if not catered to appropriately at its different stages through sufficient awareness and proper management. All said and done, there's no escape from emotions – we would have to undergo them (at any cost) as they occur (and they occur all the time) and the best we can do is to gather an understanding of how they work inside us. This understanding would help us act in accordance with the productive/ constructive outcomes that we may envisage or hope for in these emotional turbulence.
· Negative Emotions create a dominoes effect if fostered. One negative emotion sets in motion a multitude of similar ones and gives rise to a whole bunch of negative emotions ready to take control of our mind and body. This results in breaking of all the castles (family, friends, relationships, etc.) that we hold dear in our life. To save us from the emotional disturbance that may occur and leave us mentally and physically crippled (inactive), we need to rein-in the horses of negative emotions by not feeding them with more or allowing them to grow in magnitude so that they do not set in a chain reaction which will be harmful for us. The mantra for diminishing Negative Emotions is "Make it as small as possible".
· Communication with others at an Emotional Level – Every human is an embodiment of emotions that we undergo regularly. So, the best form of communication is to connect with other at an emotional level. Getting adept at understanding emotions helps us gauge the emotional state of the other person in that particular situation/ circumstance and provide us with an opportunity to make the interaction positive, constructive and productive.
Let's be emotionally healthy through better awareness of their impact on us so that emotions do not act as a deterrent towards our living a happy and satisfied life !

Is Windows 7 Still Supported
Is Windows 7 Still Supported – After 10 years since its release (RTM July 22, 2009 / General Availability October 22, 2009) and since mainstream support ended in January 2015, Windows 7 reached the end of extended support on January 14, 2020 – additional security updates paid in annual installments for 1 , 2 or 3 years (or free for Windows Virtual Desktop users) until January 10, 2023, for professional and business licensed editions only.
I was lucky enough to be able to test Vista and Windows 7 and was also lucky enough to get a copy of Win7 Ultimate from TechNet at the time and I'm still using the same copy from back then so I'm sad to see. There is no additional support for it. To be honest it means I will have to update sooner rather than later and will eventually move to Win10, I've just installed the Edge browser in Win7 and so far I'm happy and impressed, it uses a lot of memory resources (from my experience about 20 MB more than IE 11)

Windows 7 And 8.1 Support Ends Next Month
I read a document on the Microsoft website about Win 7 being end of life and it explains that they will no longer offer the following:
And they recommend going straight to Win10 for the "best" user experience, noting that "It's possible to install Windows 10 on your old device, it's not recommended." I'm not sure it's just a temptation to get people to buy new ones. Computers or devices, but there's a link on the Microsoft site to "buy" a new computer, lol…go check it out.
* Prior to this announcement, there was a minor workaround to disable the "support message" and while some people may select the "Don't remember me" message to block future popups, you can remove it at the registry level. good:
4. If the Dword DiscontinueEOS value is specified in EOSNotify, double-click it and set it to 1. Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge browser is an improvement over the first version of Edge in many ways, including support for Windows 7 and Windows. 8. But the end of the road is coming: Microsoft has announced that Edge will stop supporting Windows 7 and Windows 8 in mid-January 2023, shortly after those operating systems stop receiving regular security updates. Support for Windows 7 and 8 is also ending for Microsoft Edge Webview2, which can use Edge's rendering engine to embed web pages in non-Edge apps.
The end of support date for Edge coincides with the end of support for security updates for both Windows 7 and Windows 8 on January 10, and the end of support for Google Chrome for Windows 7 and 8 in version 110. Because the underlying Chromium engine in both Chrome and Edge are open source, Microsoft can continue to support Edge on older versions of Windows if it wants to, but the company is using both end of support dates to fix a clean break for Edge.
If you thought Windows 7 has stopped security updates, you're not wrong. Most people stopped receiving general security updates for Windows 7 in 2020, about a decade after its original release. But because Windows 7 is so popular with businesses, Microsoft has taken the unusual step of offering an additional three years of optional, paid upgrade support for the operating system. Those updates are now over too; A similar program is not offered for the less popular Windows 8, which has passed its 10th anniversary.
Edge will continue to run on Windows 11 and later versions of Windows 10, as well as supported versions of macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Andrew Cunningham Andrew is a senior technology reporter at Ars Technica with over a decade of experience in consumer technology, from PCs to Macs and smartphones to gaming consoles. His work has appeared in the New York Times' Wirecutter and AnandTech. He also records a weekly book podcast called Overdue. Today is a big day for Windows. Microsoft is dropping support for Windows 7, nearly 11 years after it first launched the operating system with a marketing campaign in New York City. "I'm a PC and Windows 7 is my idea," was the message at the time, a clear reference to the fact that it was designed to fix Windows Vista's failure. Windows 7 certainly sorted things out, with a new taskbar, Aero window manager, file libraries, and more.
In fact, Windows 7 has become so popular that it took Windows 10 almost four years to catch up in the segment. Even today, millions of computers still use Windows 7, and the operating system still runs on 26 percent of all PCs, according to data from Netmarketshare. Microsoft has spent years trying to get people to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, but tens of millions of machines are now vulnerable to exploits and security risks.
Business and Education Windows 7 users can pay for extended security updates, but for some this can be a costly investment. The Extended Update for Windows 7 Enterprise costs about $25 per machine, with the cost doubling to $50 per device in 2021 and again to $100 in 2022. It's even worse for Windows 7 Pro users, who start at $50 per machine and go up to $100 in 2021. and $200 in 2022. Of course, these costs will vary depending on the number of computers used in the company, but they will still be high for large companies.
Microsoft reduces these costs with post-retirement updates for Windows 7 customers with an active Windows 10 subscription. That hasn't made a big dent in Windows 7's market share lately, though.
Microsoft notified Windows 7 users throughout 2019 of the end of support today, so people still stuck with the operating system can't say they weren't warned. On Wednesday, a full-screen notification will appear for Windows 7 users warning that the system is not supported. Microsoft is trying to convince existing users to upgrade to machines running Windows 10, a trend that has seen the global PC market grow for the first year since 2011.
Despite the end of support, Windows 7 still seems to have some life. It could be another year or two before Windows 7 drops below 10 percent market share, especially when Google commits to supporting Chrome on Windows 7 until at least mid-2021. That gives Microsoft a headache for continued support. Many times we've seen the software giant break the tradition for Windows XP and release public patches for the operating system after the end of support date. Due to the increase in ransomware attacks in recent years and their devastating effects, it is possible that we will see a public Windows 7 security suite in the future.
Most of these support issues will come from companies that have not upgraded to the latest Windows. Windows Vista and Windows 8 are definitely not among the releases you can reliably upgrade to, so most companies use Windows XP or Windows 7 to avoid software problems and incompatibilities. Windows 8 won't have the same problem when support ends in 2023, as it only works on less than 5 percent of all PCs.
Windows 10 also tried to combat this support issue with Microsoft's big "Windows as a service" push. Businesses and consumers are given 18 months before they need to move from one major Windows 10 update to another, and Microsoft releases two major updates per year. That led to some complaints from companies, so Microsoft has now delayed support to 30 months for the major update in September and 18 months for March. This does not affect consumers who are only supported for 18 months per release, but these machines will generally automatically upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10 and are not the source of Microsoft's support issues.
We've reached several end of support dates for several versions of Windows 10 without significant issues, and three versions will be reached by the end of this year alone. If businesses continue to upgrade regularly, Windows 10 may resolve Microsoft's support issues in the near future.
However, Windows as a service raises interesting questions about PC sales in the next decade. Windows 7's end-of-life helped the PC market recover in 2019, but with "Windows 11" nowhere in sight, the PCs companies buy now may last longer than ever before. Microsoft, Intel, and PC OEMs hope that Surface and its continued drive to improve hardware will drive businesses and even consumers to upgrade. That doesn't happen right away with "PC Does What?" marketing campaign four years ago that aimed to get people with older Windows 7 PCs to upgrade to new hardware. There may still be millions of consumers who stick with Windows 7 machines simply because they continue to work well for the basics.

Florida Frontiers: Remembering Patrick Smith
Ben Brotemarkle
for FLORIDA TODAY
Patrick D. Smith's 1984 novel "A Land Remembered" is one of the most popular books about Florida ever written.
The beloved Merritt Island author was born October 8, 1927, and died January 26, 2014. He would have been 88 this week.
Most popular novels have a year or so of commercial success, perhaps getting another boost when a paperback version comes out. Smith's "A Land Remembered" has been a bestseller in Florida since it was first published.
"You know, that's hard to understand sometimes," Smith said in an interview before his death. "Every year it gets more and more readers. It's really gaining with young readers. Most of the schools in Florida now teach it. The young kids really like it, because they had no idea that Florida was ever like it's depicted in 'A Land Remembered.'"
It's not just young readers who love "A Land Remembered." Many lifelong Floridians say that if you are only going to read one book about the history and culture of the state, then this novel should be it.
The novel "A Land Remembered" follows the fictional MacIvey family for more than a century, from their arrival in Florida in 1858 through 1968. The family struggles at first to live off the land, but becomes very successful in the cattle industry. The last generation covered in the book loses connection with the land, selling it off for development.
"The last of the MacIveys, Sol, is the one who built all those structures and came to regret it," said Smith. "Before he died, he gave a lot of the land to the state to be preserved forever as wildlife preserve. So, he regretted what he had done."
In the novel, pioneer life is difficult for the MacIveys as they face hurricanes, freezes, and mosquitoes capable of killing cattle. They have conflicts with cattle rustlers and Confederate deserters, but develop friendships with Native Americans and African Americans who also are struggling to survive in the Florida wilderness.
"I wanted to make that family real, to show what they really went through," said Smith. "Not just telling readers there was a Great Freeze in 1895, but showing how that affected this family, and how they were affected by the coming of the railroads, and the birth of the cattle industry and the Civil War. Later on, how they were affected by the great land boom down in Miami in the 1920s, and that hurricane that hit Lake Okeechobee in 1928 and killed over 2,000 people. These are all things that really happened in Florida, but the really important thing to me was to show how they affected people."
Florida Frontiers: Novel focuses on rural Florida life
No one family experienced everything that the MacIveys did, but almost everything in the book did happen to one pioneer family or another.
"That book is not based on one family," Smith said. "The characters are composites of different families. I've had at least a dozen families in this state swear to me that the book is about their family because they identify with it."
"A Land Remembered" was recognized by the Florida Historical Society when it was first published, earning the Charlton Tebeau Award for Best Novel based on Florida history.
In 2012, Patrick Smith won the State of Florida's Lifetime Achievement Award for Writing.
Smith had success with other books including "The River is Home," "Allapattah," and "The Beginning." His novel "Angel City" was made into a film starring Paul Winfield, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Ralph Waite.
Florida Frontiers: St. Augustine marks 450 years
"It's seven novels all together," said Smith. "Only one of them was really as popular as 'A Land Remembered.' That was 'Forever Island.' It's been published all over the world. There's not too many writers left in Florida who've been at it as long as I have. My first novel, 'The River is Home' was published in 1953. I've written a total of ten books. I know that's not a lot of books, but you know, I did it at the same time I held down a full time job, and that makes a lot of difference."
Smith was placed in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 1999 to commemorate his full body of work, but he will always be best remembered for "A Land Remembered."
Dr. Ben Brotemarkle is executive director of the Florida Historical Society and host of the radio program "Florida Frontiers," broadcast locally on 90.7 WMFE Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m., and on 89.5 WFIT Sunday mornings at 7 a.m..

Native Americans and voter ID: Is there a problem?
ST. PAUL, Minn.
As Election Day nears, concerns about Minnesota's photo ID amendment are turning up in native communities.
The latest come in a report from the National Congress of American Indians warning proposed laws and amendments in several states present "significant barriers" to some Native Americans on Election Day.
That includes a concern that Minnesota's constitutional amendment proposal "does not list tribal IDs as an acceptable form of identification to vote."
The Indian Country Today Media Network last week wrote, "The right to use tribal identification as legal voter ID in the state was a hard won battle for Minnesota's Native population." That battle was fought with then-Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer, now the chief proponent of the photo ID amendment.
The network site wrote:
Although Kiffmeyer's legislative assistant, Kileen Lindgren, assured Indian Country Today Media Network that tribal ID would be considered legal under the new law, she was unable to provide any written documentation supporting this claim.
Up for discussion: Will the amendment hurt voting in Native American communities?


A huge letter `O` Is currently emblazoned on Sydney Bridge, announcing to the world that Oprah is in town. In a bid to boost falling tourist numbers and to get Sydney back on the map after the heady days of the Olympics, Tourism Australia has called in the biggest of American guns - Oprah Winfrey. The Oprah juggernaut rolled into town amidst a blaze of publicity this week, but is Australia ready for Oprah`s unique and distinctly American sense of pazazz?
Oprah was born on January 29th 1954, making her an Aquarius born in the Chinese year of the Horse. Despite a reputation for being laid back and relaxed (an approach that would suit the Australian audience perfectly), Aquarians are remarkably ideological and will often stubbornly cling to a viewpoint even when given evidence to counter their standpoint. Oprah has proved time and time again that she is more than willing to lead campaigns and crusades against issues that she feels strongly over, but it is perhaps her more fun loving Horse personality that will endear her to an Australian audience. Horses are gregarious creatures who, although sometimes easily `spooked` invariably get on well with everyone they come into contact with. It is the Horse`s openness and friendliness that will guarantee Oprah`s success in Australia, rather than her better known tendency to campaign on behalf of the `underdog`. Whether Australia is ready for Oprah`s unique showbiz style remains to be seen, but if she utilises her Horse personality fully the Australian audience may yet take her to its heart.

Songs for Europe

What music did Bowie and Iggy listen to in 1970s Berlin?
A new compilation, named after one of Bowie's local haunts Cafe Exil, offers a speculative guide to the pair's soundtrack favorites.

David Bowie once described his 1970s Berlin trilogy – Low, "Heroes" and Lodger – as containing "a sense of yearning for a future that we all knew would never come to pass". It's that same dislocating retro-futurist vibe that Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley was looking for when he created his latest compilation, Cafe Exil: New Adventures in European Music 1972-1980.
"This album is all about imagining what Bowie and Iggy Pop might have listened to and how it might have impacted the records they made in Berlin," explains Stanley, who compiled the record with Jason Wood, and has previously created themed albums for Paris 68 and the long, hot English summer of 1976. "I always find it interesting when music is hard to pin down to a particular time but has a very definite sense of place."
That place is Cafe Exil, a bohemian restaurant in the Berlin neighbourhood of Kreuzberg, after which Stanley chose to name his compilation. It is where Bowie, Brian Eno and Iggy would shoot pool between recording sessions. Bowie described it as "like another living room except the company was always changing". Kreuzberg was populated by artists and immigrants, and the Exil was run, suitably, by immigrant artists: Austrians Michel Würthle and Oswald and Ingrid Wiener. The Wieners had left Austria after Oswald staged a chaotic happening in Vienna in 1968 that saw him accused of blasphemy. They fled to Berlin and opened a cafe because, according to Würthle, there was nothing to eat there except "currywurst and pea soup".
In Vienna, Wiener had been part of a club called the Exil for the Austrian avant-garde. In Berlin, the name took on a dual meaning: the patrons were emigres but they were also, like Bowie and Iggy, artistic outliers who challenged convention. The Swiss artist Dieter Roth designed the "beer flower" wallpaper in exchange for free food and drink, and artists from across Europe met there, including Joseph Beuys, Richard Hamilton, Martin Kippenberger, and Eduardo Paolozzi. Bowie, pushing boundaries in Berlin, slotted right in.
Did Cafe Exil have a jukebox? Bob Stanley thinks that if it did, it would play the sort of music you find on his compilation: motorik electronica with excursions into folk and jazz-rock. Alongside Faust, Eno, Amon Düül II, Popol Vuh, Cluster, and Michael Rother are rarities such as Way Star by Rubba, a record that Stanley found in a charity shop in Coulsdon, which is about as far from Cafe Exil as you can imagine. The music is otherworldly, mysterious and a little creepy, fitting the title far better than if Stanley had named the album after another of Bowie's Berlin favorites, Joe's Beer House. Now, what might a soundtrack for that sound like?
Cafe Exil: New Adventures in European Music 1972-1980 is out now on Ace Records

» The Trench Magazine (1928)
The Trench Magazine
By Captain W. W. Murray, M.C., R. of O.
Canadian Defence Quarterly, Vol. V, Oct 1927 to July 1928
"Statements derogatory to the characters of the Adjutant, the Transport Officer, or the Quarter-Master are especially welcome, and three months free subscription given where the said statement can be proved."
The trench magazine was one of the oddities of a war that was altogether odd, and for the reason, perhaps, that this oddness ran so markedly through every phase of it, the place for the trench magazine in historical record still remains to be determined. The whimsical little sheet which many infantry battalions, batteries and cavalry regiments brought out as the circumstances of active service allowed was written and edited by soldiers who, for the most part, had not the faintest conception of journalism. It was produced with the welter and chaos of war as a background, and it existed solely for the purpose of stimulating esprit de corps and of making laughter do service for tears. In other words, the regimental paper was the valiant effort of men who strove to endure privation with a smile.
Editing a trench magazine was no easy task. Rudyard Kipling himself attests its difficulties, for in a letter to the editors of one of those breezy periodicals—the organ of the 20th Canadian Infantry Battalion which is dated "flanders, 1915," Mr. Kipling writes:—
"Gentlemen,
"Your letter of no date (which is bad editing) has duly come to hand. In the first place, permit me to express my personal sympathy with you over the difficulties which attend the running of a paper at the Front; and in the second, to say how sorry I am that I have nothing by me which would be of any use for The 20th Gazette. If I had I would send it along at once. I can only wish you success in your labours, and to all your readers—Good Luck!
"Yours fraternally (as an Editor),
"Rudyard Kipling."
The copy was gathered from nowhere in particular. Local chatter in and about the companies and having to do mainly with regimental activities. humorous sallies at the officers, with even the exalted person of the battalion commander not immune from the occasional sly dig, furnished everything to be written about. London was the publishing centre. The copy was scrawled on any kind of paper that would register a pencil-mark and, in the early stages of the war, censored by the battalion Adjutant before being despatched to the printers in fleet Street where all arranging and general adjustment were done. Later, it was difficult, and also a circuitous job, to establish a regimental paper, the task being hedged about by discouraging restrictions imposed by G.H.Q.
The editorial sanctum was a dug—out, or an estaminet, sometimes even the open trench, and the flowing periods of the soldier-editors were not infrequently punctuated by exploding shells and the zip of bullets. The "general programme" of these trench magazines is hard to find, nor must the following extract from The Growler, organ of the 14th Battalion, be accepted too literally:
This declaration of policy is followed by the comment that it would be futile for any of the injured persons to institute actions for libel since the editors were "broke" anyway.
The columns are crammed with light-hearted jokes and with quasi—cynical comment. The most robust and colourful execration was reserved for trench digging. It was more than an ordinary flash of genius which inspired the following "advertisement" in The Listening Post, the 7th Battalion's magazine and the pioneer of all such publications:
"WANTED—Work wanted for several hundred able-bodied men, at present employed only 20 hours each day. Would like profitable employment for remaining four hours. Digging or carrying preferred. Apply —th Battalion."
In the same strain an announcement is made with fine sarcasm in The 20th Gazette that "there is no truth in the rumor that Woodrow Wilson has written General Sir Sam Hughes asking for the services of this Battalion to assist in reveting the Panama Canal."
"The Battalion Crest, we understand, is to be changed and something more truly representative of our work to be substituted. The device most in favor is a pretty little thing of crossed communication-trenches, surmounted by an entrenching-tool rampant."
Rations were a fertile source of scorn; pay and billets came a close second. Hence one of the magazines under survey observes as a scientifically established fact: "It has been demonstrated that a bullet which will penetrate 18 inches of solid brick-work will pierce only one and a half inches into a loaf of bread (army issue)."
At the latter end of 1915, when the Corps held the line between Vormezeele and Plug Street, torrential rains combined with German shelling to make the trenches uninhabitable and the men's lives miserable. Parapets fell in or were blown in, shelters were flooded, sickness and battle-casualties thinned the ranks, and general conditions were depressing, but here is how one magazine reacted to them:
"Extracts from (expected) Brigade Orders.
"1—Commanders of submarines plying in the communication trenches are requested to see that these vessels are not used by pleasure parties between the lines.
"2—Non-commissioned officers and men are not allowed to use the bathing—beach at XZ—50 Trench. This is for officers only.
"3—Ration and fatigue-parties must not participate in swimming races to the firing line, owing to the presence of hostile submarines.
"4—Owing to the scarcity of material for filling sandbags, any man who consumes more than 10 lbs of mud a day will be severely dealt with."
From the time that Horace, hanging the emblem of his art on the wall of the temple, plumed himself on having fought "non sine gloria," poet-soldiers have been numerous. The trench magazine yields a curious anthology. Verses in limping rythm and cruder rhyme, but replete with profound feeling and pathos as the soldier struggled to give expression to the thought within
him, wind through the columns in company with bantering couplets and ribald limericks. In general, however, not much space is given to any serious phases of verse-making. Four line stanzas that airily touch on regimental matters, or that are written simply as flippant nothings, furnish the bulk of the "poetry." The following sneer at the artillery is not untypical of the infantryman:
"How doth the busy Bombardier
Improve his shining hours?
By dropping shells in Heiney's trench
And prematures in ours."
"Blighty," connoting as it did everything that the troops yearned for, inspired the home-sick lines that follow:
"When we're lyin' in our dugout
An' our feet is clammy wet,
With a piece o' candle splutterin'
In a greeny, yeller jet,
An' the water's drippin', drippin'
From a hole above our dome,
Then—we lies an' thinks o' Blighty,
What we mean is 'Over 'Ome.' "
But the inclination of the troops ran more toward Limericks, with a special flair for peculiarities of pronunciation:
"Said a Cockney on furlough from Ypres:
'It's a rotten ole village for snypres,
An' the things as they do
Aint exactly wot you
Reads abaht over 'ome in the pypres."
The village of La Clytte, near Dickebusch, has been immortalized thus:
"There was a young man of La Clytte,
Who, at drinking, could never be bytte,
He drank up his ale
By the jug and the pail
ut he rarely, if ever, touched mytte."
The truth of the epigrams quoted hereunder will not be gainsaid.
"Promotion is a ladder upon which many prefer to climb from an airship.
"It's hard to live within our franc a day—but that's easier than to live without it.
"Things we have noticed—that the Commanding Officer never on inspections asks to see the Field Marshal's baton that every soldier is supposed to carry in his knapsack."
As intimated, there was also a serious side to the trench magazines, although this was not unduly laboured. It is noted that one in particular—The 20th Gazette—began to print the battalion's casualties as soon as the unit reached France in September, 1915. More eloquent than anything else is the growing amount of space demanded by the record of fallen comrades. And then, the record ceases: the list becomes too large. An unwritten story of heroism and devotion lies within the following simple acknowledgement of the Commanding Officer which appears in an issue dated February, 1916:
"It is desired to place on record the self-sacrificing services of two of our late departed comrades, Privates —— and ——, who on the eve of Christmas Day voluntarily offered their services in the face of great danger. to assist in the removal of a wounded comrade for medical attention.
"It is deeply regretted that in this service, they made the last great sacrifice of their own lives."
It must not be assumed that the soldier-editors enjoyed any privileges in virtue of their work. On the contrary, they carried out all their military duties and wrote their magazine in what spare time they had. This is made abundantly clear by the editorial extract:—
"Our readers realize the difficulties we experience each time we get back to billets, for it is the editors' pride that at no time has the work of the Gazette interfered with the military duties of those responsible for it."
This broad statement undergoes a slight modification in the next sentence, which admits rather wistfully that "on one happy occasion we were excused a short route-march. That is one of the sweet memories of a glorious past."
This magazine was ambitious; it refused to be restricted to cold type; it reached out toward line-cuts and half-tones. Justifiable pride rings through an announcement that the magazine is going "to print illustrated jokes and cartoons" provided that someone can be found to draw them. "The editors," says the organ coaxingly "will be pleased to place drawing pads, ink, pens and brushes at the disposal of anyone who will volunteer."
The emergency found the men, for illustrated jokes grace later issues. The drawings, it is quite true, reveal certain deficiencies in technique, but that is unimportant. The chief point is that they enlivened the paper, and there they are with the name of the soldier-artist in the corner.
A clear index to the morale of the troops, the trench magazine is a humble but a valuable souvenir, and as such is an honoured relic that deserves recognition as a contribution to the war effort of the country.
