The Environmental Legacy of Wangari Maathai
Posted on April 2, 2012 by sandy-awakening
In my years spanning two graduate degrees through the 1990s, among the foremost, lasting impressions is the tenacity, graciousness – and commitment to the larger good – that African students brought to their studies and also to their interactions with fellow students and professors.
Indeed, entire African villages usually had raised the funds to support selected individuals to do graduate studies abroad, in order to become future bridge-builders between their home communities and outside influences – for the well-being of the grassroots people.
What struck me were two qualities: first of all, a deep sense of community instead of focus on one's self. Secondly, in many private and group conversations, I never detected personal animosity, or cultural rage, directed towards the descendants of the colonial powers that had destroyed the spiritual and ecological practices of diverse Indigenous cultural communities across the African continent (and other continents).
Without such personal encounters, would I be accurately informed and aware of the fuller human capabilities of African people and, equally important, even begin to understand their cultural perspectives, if I only relied upon mainstream news stories? I think not. That is why documentary films have such a vital educational role, for example, when they give voice to grassroots, and other marginalized, folks, as well as to the visionaries whose messages are pertinent to the whole human family.
The late Professor Wangari Maathai was one such proactive visionary, until she succumbed to cancer on September 25, 2011, at age 71. Professor Maathai's call to action, when she received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, was emblematic of her understanding about what sustains life on this planet:
"Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking so that humanity stops threatening its life support system. We are called to assist the earth to heal her wounds. And in the process, heal our own… In the course of history there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness. To reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now."
She embodies the power that resides within every caring human soul, in her chosen quest to restore the trees of Kenya and, moreover, redevelop the traditional skills of rural grassroots women to plant their own food and feed their children needlessly suffering from malnutrition because of corporate and political interests.
A journey that began with Wangari Maathai's 1977 creation of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya took her on an odyssey to recognize how to connect the dots between rural women's poverty, malnourished children, the deforestation problem, the severe decrease in clean water, and the deterioration of the soil. Focusing on the causes instead of the symptoms of the causes, she then empowered the rural women to plant trees, initially to restore the water and the soil. Professor Maathai knew, however, that doing so, in turn, would restore their self-confidence, and equip them as communities, to challenge the bigger, related issues.
Her own life, meanwhile, was hit by several blows. They were the results of her standing up for values that would restore and sustain the environment and, in turn, nurture greater democracy and peace. Alas, these values were not shared by the Kenyan dictatorship of President Daniel arap Moi. Her husband divorced her; President Moi publicly ridiculed her. When she ran for government, the university terminated her teaching post, her income and her housing. She also was arrested and imprisoned several times, her own life, ultimately, in constant danger.
Her tenacious journey is mapped eloquently in the documentary film Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai, co-directed and co-produced by Lisa Merton and Alan Dater, partners of Marlboro Productions, in the United States. Lisa Merton spoke via Skype at a screening this past weekend at the Richmond Hill Public Library, in Ontario, Canada, to a keenly engaged audience.
"She is such a force of Nature and she personifies everything she believed in," said Merton, to the Richmond Hill audience, from her home in Vermont. "Her path led her on a holistic approach to change." Merton, who attended the funeral for Wangari Maathai, held in Uhuru Park, Nairobi, still feels the vitality of Maathai's spirit.
"Such hallowed ground," Merton reminded the audience. They had just watched scenes in the film when Maathai initiated an international furor to save this park from being razed for a multinational high rise office development. On another occasion, she and a large group of rural women camped out in the park, to demand the release of political prisoners detained because of speaking out against the Moi regime. Police attacked the women.
Marlboro Productions is dedicated to a huge, long term task to dub their film Taking Root in various languages, and find NGOs willing to fund workshops, to help people globally in environmentally degraded regions.
"Everything is inextricably linked," she said. People living directly on the land more easily understand that fact though, than those of us who no longer live immersed in a natural environment, in order to appreciate, viscerally, our dependence upon other planetary life.
Regardless, Wangari Maathai, courageously and lovingly, shows what we hold in common as a human family – our dependence upon a healthy planetary environment and, as well, traditional values that she identified as innate within each person: love for the environment, self-betterment, gratitude and respect, and a commitment to service.

Q: Issue when using Terraform to manage credentials that access RDS database I created a secret via Terraform, the secret is for accessing an RDS database which is also defined in Terraform, and in the secret, I don't want to include username and password, so I created an empty secret then add the credentials manually in AWS console.
Then in the RDS definition:
resource "aws_rds_cluster" "example_db_cluster" {
  cluster_identifier = local.db_name
  engine             = "aurora-mysql"
  engine_version     = "xxx"
  engine_mode        = "xxx"
  availability_zones = [xxx]
  database_name   = "xxx"
  master_username = jsondecode(aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.db_secret_string.secret_string)["username"]
  master_password = jsondecode(aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.db_secret_string.secret_string)["password"]
.....

The problem is that when I apply terraform, because the secret is empty so Terraform won't find the string for username and password which will cause error, does anyone have a better way to implement this? Feels like it's easier to just create the secret in Secret Manager manually.

A: You can generate a random_password and add to your secret using a aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.
Here's an example:
resource "random_password" "default_password" {
 length  = 20
 special = false
}

variable "secretString" {
 default = {
  usernae = "dbuser"
  password = random_password.default_password.result
 }

 type = map(string)
}

resource "aws_secretsmanager_secret" "db_secret_string" {
 name = "db_secret_string"
}

resource "aws_secretsmanager_secret_version" "secret" {
 secret_id = aws_secretsmanager_secret.db_secret_string.id
 secret_string = jsonencode(var.secretString)
}

10 Best Free Live Tv Streaming Sites in 2021
The list below contains the Best Free Live Tv Streaming Sites for your live viewing convenience.
While the following list includes websites for Free Live Tv streaming , these can be accessed via a variety of devices other than a computer or laptop.
This includes the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, Android devices, as well as personal computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Not only will these sites offer Free Live Tv streaming, but also talk shows and highlights.
I recommend bookmarking this page to stay informed about the Best Free Live Tv Streaming Websites. For your convenience, this page is updated weekly.
Where can I watch free live TV in 720p or 1080p resolution?
If you're looking for the most reputable websites that stream live television in the highest possible quality, you've come to the right place! Streaming Sites has a plethora of sources that make watching live high definition television easier than ever. Whether you use the premium features available on sites such as the aptly named TV Player or opt for free live TV streaming sites with the greatest channel selection, such as Ok Live TV or US TV Go, the list of free TV streaming sites that allow you to watch live television in 720p or 1080p at any time of day or night is extensive.
Indeed, there are so many free TV streaming sites that offer 720p and 1080p streaming that determining which one is best for your needs can be difficult. That is where I enter the picture. I'm here to sift through the massive (and ever-growing) list of free live TV streaming websites so you don't have to. The websites that I have listed here are the best of the best. While some will continue to be significantly better than others, I have already eliminated the truly awful 'free live TV streaming sites' from the list.
Even though I have personally vetted each site on this list, you should still browse each site and read through their reviews. You must ensure that whichever site you choose to test out, your free live TV streaming site meets your specific requirements. After all, we all have different criteria for what we look for in a site like this, correct? Avoid wasting time on trial and error – simply read my reviews and I'm confident you'll find the free live TV streaming site of your dreams in no time!
Is streaming free live TV on these sites safe?
That is an excellent question. Because the short answer is that yes, streaming free live TV from the websites on my list is completely safe – I would never intentionally link to a malicious website. Having said that, there are undoubtedly unsafe free live TV streaming sites available on the internet. This is why it is critical that you understand what to look for and how to prepare if you ever intend to go rogue and conduct your own research on free live TV streaming sites.
True… some sites of this nature are more dangerous than others. And some do attempt to infect your computer with viruses, trackers, trojans, and other malicious software. Many of them, too, may contain advertisements (some of which can also be dangerous). However, even if you do not see it that way, a large portion of the internet is filled with unsafe areas. Whatever you intend to do on the internet, I strongly advise you to protect yourself, your computer, and your data with the strongest possible defences… Especially if you're going off the beaten path and checking out free live TV streaming sites that I haven't personally endorsed.
The first thing you'll want to do is locate a reputable Virtual Private Network provider (VPN). A good VPN will safeguard your identity and online activity. Nobody will be able to see or track what you are doing. In essence, a VPN transforms you into an internet ghost. You become completely untraceable and anonymous. Naturally, this also applies to potential hackers. Nobody will know what you're doing.
What are the most popular TV channels available for free streaming?
To be sure, the best free live TV streaming sites will allow you to access virtually any television channel. However, this is not always the case. Many of these free live TV streaming websites are targeted at residents of the countries or regions in which they operate. Thus, if a free live TV streaming site, for example, is operated out of India, it is likely to offer Indian television channels. However, the best ones expand their horizons beyond their immediate surroundings.
ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, FX, CNN, and MSNBC are just a few of the popular free TV channels available to stream. Basically, anything that requires a live stream to fully enjoy. Thus, any network that airs popular series that require viewers to wait an extended period of time to watch – those tend to be quite popular. For example, I find myself using free live TV streaming sites to keep up with CBS shows such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Superstore. I'm not interested in waiting the 24-hour period required before these shows become available on Hulu. Additionally, there is an element of excitement associated with watching them live as they air.
Then there are networks that focus exclusively on live programming, such as CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. These are extremely popular because you must be watching live to stay up to date on breaking news. Additionally, if a presidential debate or similar event is broadcast, free live TV streaming sites are frequently the only way to watch alongside the rest of the country if you do not have a traditional cable provider.
Awards shows and live sporting events, in particular, have a tendency to boost a network's popularity on these sites. Thus, while the popularity of the channels fluctuates constantly, what matters most is that you find the best free live TV streaming site that allows you to watch any or all of these networks as needed!
What are the best live TV streaming sites?
Any free TV streaming site that allows you to access news networks is ideal for watching breaking news segments live. Numerous them will also allow you to tune in to a specific region for local news broadcasts. However, for keeping up with national (US) news, my personal favourite live TV streaming site is US TV Go. It's incredibly simple and straightforward to use, and this site includes all of the major national news networks, including CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and CNBC.
However, if you're looking for a free live news streaming site with a more international focus, you'll want to check out Live News Mag, which features live streams from over 50 of the world's leading news channels. As is the case with a large number of free streaming sites, regardless of their nature, you can always find one that caters to your specific interests. The trick is determining which free live TV streaming site has the most to offer in terms of content that is of interest to you.
Is watching live television on these sites legal?
Yes, watching live television on these sites is entirely legal. However, it is illegal to host or broadcast unlicensed live streams on your own.
These Free Live Tv Streaming Sites are constantly being shut down and removed.
As of the time of this article's publication, all of the Free Live Tv Streaming Sites listed below are operational and available for use.
Many of these streaming sites can also be found in our 123Streaming Sites home Page
The following websites have been ranked according to the following criteria:
Visits Per Month
Ad vexation (scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst)
Popularity in general
VPN Compatibility
USTVGO.TV
On their website, USTV GO provides free access to 80+ live TV channels. It is one of the world's most popular IPTV networks.

Q: Solr: passing variable to update a field using POST I got stuck with the following Solr problem, while exploring document classification (using https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/SolrClassification as inspiration)
Having defined an ExtractingRequestHandler to load documents (txt and pdf files) in Solr, for the classification problem I need to augment the input with a categeroy label. I understand I could index the documents first and then using atomic updates add the label information in a second step. Also, I could somehow wrap the pdf / txt files in a JSON structure and supply the category label that way or use Data Import Handler. None of these solutions are ideal in my context.
Instead, I would prefer to pass the label as a variable / parameter while POST-ing documents (am on Windows using post.jar), but don't know how to adjust the requestHandler in solrconfig.xml to accept such custom defined parameters and use that as an input to the category field. All I could find was how to pass predefined parameters, but not how to add new ones and use them as inputs to fields.
Is this even possible, or would I have to write my own request handler for such a use case?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A: Credits to @MatsLindh
The solution can't be simpler, using
literal.category=<category_field> in the URL
Can't believe I was not able to find it.

NBA coaches put priority on their health to cope with grind
Associated Press / 04:08 PM January 15, 2019
FILE – In this May 20, 2018 file photo, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, center, watches during the first half of Game 3 of the NBA basketball Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets in Oakland, Calif. Luke Walton began a wellness program for his Lakers coaching staff.

The NBA Coaches Association now provides guidance to its members on everything from diet and exercise to sleep and mental health. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)
OAKLAND, Calif. — Luke Walton began a wellness program for his Lakers coaching staff. Steve Kerr reached out to Steve Clifford after each spent significant time away from the sideline because of debilitating headaches and other symptoms.
Coaches around the league are taking preventive measures to help deal with the grind and stresses of a long NBA season.
That hasn't always been the case. Now, the NBA Coaches Association provides guidance to its members on everything from diet and exercise to sleep and mental health.
"Well, we're trying. We all are trying, we all are conscious of it," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "I don't think we're very good at it, honestly. I know I've tried. It's still very hard to accomplish. The game consumes us. It consumes me at least, and it should, if you love it. And it's just hard to turn off. It's important. We have to do it. We should have been doing it."
After a late arrival in Bay Area last month, it was after 10 p.m. when Rivers had the team tissue therapist work on his body, including knees and ankle — "and my brain." He has consulted a sleep doctor, too.
In L.A., Walton is being proactive by encouraging every member of his staff to stay physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. Recharge when necessary, however that is best accomplished for each individual.
"It's a priority," Lakers assistant Mark Madsen said. "It's important because think about all the late nights. We'll get into cities at 4 in the morning sometimes. You have to stay on top of it."
As a youngster, J.B. Bickerstaff knew there were a couple of hours in the afternoon on game days his father needed for himself. Bernie Bickerstaff took a power nap that allowed him to be fresh for a long night on the NBA bench.
J.B. Bickerstaff now does it the same exact way as coach of the Memphis Grizzlies.
The coaches association is providing support and guidance like never before, and many coaches are making a point to openly discuss wellness strategies and share ideas.
There's also a close-knit support system within this crop of NBA coaches that Dallas' Rick Carlisle, the coaches association president, considers special.
"We also have a unique group of head coaches right now, guys that are extremely competitive but have great respect for one another and provide a high level of support for each other," Carlisle said. "Guys who are going through tough times with health and even things like losing streaks. We've got a very high character group."
For example, Clifford so appreciated a call he got last season from Kerr, each having gone through his own challenging health ordeal that kept him from the bench for an extensive stretch.
Clifford, then coaching the Charlotte Hornets, missed more than five weeks dealing with agonizing headaches that after a battery of tests were deemed to be caused by sleep deprivation.
Kerr has endured some of the most high-profile absences.
He missed the initial 43 games of the 2015-16 season — including a record 24-0 start — dealing with painful and confounding symptoms following a pair of back surgeries.
Kerr was sidelined again for 11 games during the Warriors' 16-1 postseason in 2017 before returning to the bench for Game 2 of the NBA Finals the Warriors wound up winning in five games against LeBron James and Cleveland. Kerr had undergone a procedure to repair a spinal fluid leak on May 5, 2017, at Duke University but was not well enough to return until June 4.
He made it through last year's repeat run to a title.
"My advice to coaches who are coming into the league: Don't get back surgery," Kerr quipped. "That's my main advice. Sorry, bad joke. Luke Walton, when he took the Laker job, we talked a lot about that. He told me his whole staff is really on a conditioning program and a health-wellness program. I think it's really smart, something that every staff should try to do is just make sure you've got people looking after you and looking after each other."
Kerr practices regular yoga and can often be seen on the elliptical machine after practice in a corner of the gym, getting loose on a foam roller or stretching with the assistance of an athletic trainer.
Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts appreciates the points of emphasis and information provided by the coaches association "whether it's diet or things to alleviate stress." He watches what he eats and works in exercise whenever he can, saying those two things are "the remedy for everybody."
"A lot of it is just common sense that everybody has to deal with to take care of yourself," Stotts said. "It's not just coaches, obviously, it's everybody, a lot of middle-aged men need to be doing the same, and some like me, beyond-middle-aged men. The fact that our lifestyle, if you give in to it, it can be a detriment, and everybody needs to be aware of it."
Clifford is in Orlando now, and he understands better than ever the importance of taking care of himself and monitoring his own health in a business where keeping your job depends largely on winning. He took significant steps to improve his sleep patterns and overall health, this after a previous heart scare as well.
The 57-year-old Clifford deeply appreciated Kerr's call.
"It was great," Clifford said. "He was one of the guys who reached out and obviously we had the health issue in common. It was a terrific gesture."
Last season, former Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue dealt with anxiety and needed a mental and physical break.
"Wellness isn't just physical. It's mental as well," Portland guard Damian Lillard said. "I think the position we're in as professional athletes and with coaches in the social media age, it's a little more difficult. That takes it to a much higher level from physical and mental … when you've got people talking about you all the time, on Twitter bashing you. People just have so much more access to you. It becomes a more stressful job, much more pressure on your job and so many more eyes."
Coaches are also realizing they can't always do it alone, relying on experts to stay healthy.
Golden State hired Rick Celebrini this past offseason as director of sports medicine and performance.
"If you can find some help, somebody to give you a little guidance," Kerr said, "like we have here with Rick and Drew Yoder, I think it's a big help."
The coaches association sends out a newsletter at least once a month with guidance from nutrition consultant Stacy Goldberg, who also is always available for 1-on-1 conversations.
"Often, coaches are so focused on taking care of the players that they are not always focused on taking care of themselves," said Goldberg, founder and CEO of Savorfull. "This is especially true when it comes to their nutrition."
Added Carlisle: "We view this as important as anything else we do with the NBA coaches association."

Well, the geniuses at the Town of Apple Valley have done it again. This time, they've shown they have so little understanding of the issues, that in attempting to criticize Liberty Apple Valley, they inadvertently complimented both Liberty Apple Valley and its predecessor, Apple Valley Ranchos Water Company.
The cat is out of the bag. Liberty Utilities plans a 14% increase per year in the base rate for water in Apple Valley. Here is Greg Sorensen, president of Liberty Utilities California, telling shareholders about the company's plans to raise rates. Read more at www.avh2ours.com. The new boss is the same as the old boss.
Somebody stop them from investing in our community right away! We don't need their money. As Barb Stanton once said, Can't we just borrow the money? That's the ticket!
Let's come back to the point. You support Liberty that wants to raise base rate by 14 percent.
It turns out that there are also other citizens on Facebook who understand these issues better than Puckett or the faceless paid mouthpiece who works long hours, burning through tax dollars to convince ratepayers to welcome a multi-million dollar indebtedness that will allow the Town to buy part of the water system we already have.
Base rate isn't the rate you pay for water. Base rate is the capital (typically operating and indestructible costs) amount of expenditure that the PUC allows to be used against the billing rate. Unless I'm missing something there is nothing in that graph that states they will be raising rates. Looks like they will be spending a lot of money to fix old pipes.
Excuse me, but Mr. Sorensen's slide refers to rate base, which is the value of the water system, not to base rates as you've claimed. Mr. Sorensen never mentions rate increases. He's simply describing the future investment needed in the Park Water group's (not just Apple Valley) infrastructure in coming years. It's a shame you didn't actually listen to his presentation or read the slides before posting this completely untrue accusation.
In fact, if you look at the slide, it shows a heading that indicates the subject matter to be projected spending on water infrastructure. There is even a reference to continued investment in replacement and upgrade projects.
So while trying to slime Liberty Apple Valley, the Town actually acknowledged that Liberty Apple Valley intends to continue to invest millions in our community, continuing in the footsteps of Apple Valley Ranchos.
So are the representatives of the Town lying or incompetent? You decide!
And by all means, let that cat out of the bag: Liberty Apple Valley cares about our water system and our community.
Update February 23, 2016: Liberty Apple Valley has just posted a rebuttal on Facebook.
Liberty Utilities is committed to providing quality, reliable water service and treating our customers with the highest level of respect. We purchased the system from the Carlyle Group, to partner with Apple Valley residents for the benefit of the community. That means operating in a transparent manner and sharing facts regarding rates, water quality and the need to maintain the water system for generations to come.
The Town of Apple Valley posted a photo of Liberty Utilities President Greg Sorensen making a presentation to shareholders, alleging that he was announcing a 14 percent rate increase in Apple Valley. That is not true. The presentation addressed California's historic drought, conservation and the need to make infrastructure investments to strengthen conservation, water quality and system reliability for generations to come. Rates were never discussed. If you are interested in viewing the presentation, we are happy to send it to you in its entirety. Please contact us directly.
We will never play politics with the local water system or compromise your right to have quality service and sound infrastructure. Political decision-making can result in delayed or deferred maintenance, which puts the pipes and mains at risk, and causes more costly long term repairs. Cutting corners is the wrong way to run any kind of water system.
Liberty Utilities is committed to the people of Apple Valley and we want to work collaboratively with Town leaders to ensure you have the best possible water service. As you get to know us, you'll see that we share facts and will support this community. You can count on that.

A Big Bet on Software Education
Author: Jean-Michel Lemieux
CTO, Shopify
When I decided to study computer science at university, my parents were skeptical. They didn't know anyone who had chosen this as a career. Computer science was, and still is, in its infancy. Software development isn't pure science or pure engineering — it's a combination of the two, mixed with a remarkable amount of artistic flare. It's a profession where you grow by learning the theory and then doing. A lot of doing. It's a profession that's increasingly in demand. And it's a profession so new that schools are still learning how to teach it. The supply isn't matching the demand; not even close.
Our industry is fraught with critical shortages of skills and diversity — software developers are more valuable to companies than money [1]. It's pretty obvious, we have to aggressively invest in growing and developing software professionals more than ever.
Shopify has figured out an important part of how to solve these problems. We call it Dev Degree — a work-integrated learning (WIL) program that combines an accredited university degree with double the experience of a traditional co-op. The program is already in its 3rd year, and it's time to talk about why it's a big deal to us.

Michael Curtis took advantage of his first start as quarterback for the Minutemen with an efficient and balanced performance. Curtis' two touchdowns a piece in the passing and running game got UMass out to a huge lead, allowing them to control the pace and style of play as they held off the 49ers. It wasn't just the touchdowns that the Minutemen offense scored that were key to the victory, including 2 on the ground from senior running back Marquis Young, it was also their ability to play clean football by only turning the football over once.
Although the UMass defense did surrender 31 points in the final three quarters, the game was already well in hand by that points. It wasn't just the offense that allowed UMass to run away with this game in the first quarter. On Charlotte's first six drives the UMass defense only allowed 8 yards of total offense and even forced a fumble. That's an incredibly solid start from a team that has struggled in recent weeks, especially in securing tackles. From that point forward, however, Charlotte out-gained UMass in yards over the course of the game while not being forced into another turnover. In a circumstance when your team gives you a 28-0 lead in the first quarter it's difficult to keep your foot on the gas for the entire game, but there is still plenty of room for improvement for UMass to be able to hold smaller leads, or allow their offense to get back into a game, later in the season.
Marquis Young returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown before the marching band could even get into the stands after their pregame performance. This arguably ended up being the play that sparked the early rampage by the UMass offense. The 93-yard return was one of Young's two returns, totaling 113 return yards on the afternoon for the senior. Cooper Garcia and Mike Caggiano split the kicking duties and went a perfect 7/7 combined on extra points. Punts were also split between Travis Reynolds and George Georgopoulos as each punter recorded two punts for 77 yards all of which were covered well, only allowing two returns for 3 yards to Charlotte.
The Minutemen head back out on the road this Saturday, but they'll have to bring the same level of play that they've been displaying at home if they want to come away with a win at Ohio. Despite both teams having remarkably similar stats, with Ohio even allowing more yards on the season, UMass has generally played an easier schedule. Nevertheless, UMass will have a great chance to take the momentum from the Charlotte game and pounce on the Ohio Bobcats who are coming off two straight losses.

Guest post by Lee from www.thebritishmonarchy.co.uk.
Elizabeth I's Education
Elizabeth's governess was Catherine Champernowne, better known by her later, married name of Catherine "Kat" Ashley, was appointed in 1537 & she remained Elizabeth's friend until her death in 1565. Champernowne taught Elizabeth four languages: French, Flemish, Italian & Spanish.
By the time William Grindal became her tutor in 1544, Elizabeth could write English, Latin, & Italian. Under Grindal, a talented & skilful tutor, she also progressed in French & Greek. After Grindal died in 1548, Elizabeth received her education under Roger Ascham, a teacher who believed that learning should be engaging. By the time her formal education ended in 1550, she was one of the most educated women of her generation.
By the end of her life, Elizabeth was also believed to speak Welsh, Cornish, Scottish & Irish in addition to English.
The Venetian ambassador stated in 1603 that she "possessed [these] languages so thoroughly that each appeared to be her native tongue". Historian Mark Stoyle suggests that she was probably taught Cornish by William Killigrew, Groom of the Privy Chamber & later Chamberlain of the Exchequer.
Anne Boleyn's Coronation
Anne was crowned queen in a magnificent ceremony at Westminster Abbey with a banquet afterwards. She was the LAST queen consort of England to be crowned separately from her husband. Unlike any other queen consort, Anne was crowned with St Edward's Crown, which had previously been used to crown only a monarch. Historian Alice Hunt suggests that this was done because Anne's pregnancy was visible by then and she was carrying the heir who was presumed to be male.
On the previous day, Anne had taken part in an elaborate procession through the streets of London seated in a litter of "white cloth of gold" that rested on two palfreys clothed to the ground in white damask, while the barons of the Cinque Ports held a canopy of cloth of gold over her head.
In accordance with tradition she wore white, and on her head a gold coronet beneath which her long dark hair hung down freely. Afterwards, the usual banquet in Westminster Hall took place. Henry stood apart & watched his new queen from a distance, allowing her to be the sole focus of attention.
Did you know? Anne Boleyn is the 8th cousin 13 times removed of Queen Elizabeth II. Their common ancestor is Edward I of England.
Appendicitis delays the Coronation
King Edward VII's coronation was scheduled for 26 June 1902. But just two days before the 26th he was diagnosed with appendicitis, & needed urgent surgery, that was carried out by Frederick Treves, & assisted by Lord Lister.
Treves decided not to remove the abscess, which was perityphlitis, & inflammation around the appendix which needed draining. With the support of the leading surgical authority, Lister, he performed a then-radical operation of draining the infected appendiceal abscess through a small incision & leaving the appendix intact. Appendicitis was generally not treated operatively at this time & carried a high mortality rate, though developments in anesthesia & antisepsis in the preceding 50 years made life-saving surgery possible.
The operation was carried out on a table in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace. The King initially rejected surgery because of the forthcoming coronation, but Treves insisted, stating that 'if he was not authorised to operate, there would instead be a funeral'. The surgery was carried out & the next day, the king was sitting up in bed, smoking a cigar.
Two weeks later, it was announced that he was out of danger. Treves was honoured with a baronetcy (which the King had arranged before the operation) & appendix surgery entered the medical mainstream in the UK. Edward was finally crowned at Westminster Abbey on 9 August.
King George V was an avid stamp collector
By 1904 the King had acquired both the Penny & Two Pence 'Post Office' Mauritius of 1847 – the world's most prized stamps. The first of these was bought from the Earl of Kintore's collection, while the second was acquired at auction in 1904 for a then record price of £1,450!
When a courtier asked the Prince if he had seen that 'some damned fool had paid as much as £1,450 pounds for one stamp', the reply from the Prince came: 'I was that damned fool!.' oops!
When in London, the King would spend three afternoons a week with his stamp collection & was rarely interrupted. As well as collecting, he also took a great interest in stamp designs. Stamp-sized artists' sketches were submitted for his approval, & then returned to him for inclusion in the collection after the final versions had been printed.
When George died in 1936, the King's collection consisted of some 250,000 stamps in 328 large red volumes, each of about 60 pages. The strength of the Royal collection lies in its completeness. Regardless of their attractiveness, George V never neglected any stamp issue with good provenance.
Later monarchs added their own albums to the Royal Philatelic Collection, & these include George VI's Blue Albums & Elizabeth II's Green Albums.
Powdered Wigs
George IV was responsible for a shift in fashion. After a tax was put on wig powder by political opponents, he stopped wearing them in favour of his natural hair, helping to put an end to wearing powdered wigs.
Wearing wigs became the fashion in the 16th century as a means of compensating for hair loss or improving one's personal appearance. They also served a practical purpose: the unhygienic conditions of the time meant that hair attracted head lice, a problem that could be much reduced if natural hair were shaved & replaced with a more easily de-loused artificial hairpiece. Royal patronage was crucial to the revival of wearing wigs.
Queen Elizabeth I of England wore a red wig, tightly & elaborately curled in a "Roman" style, while among men King Louis XIII of France (1601–1643) started wig-wearing in 1624, due to hair loss. This fashion was largely promoted by his son & successor Louis XIV of France (1638–1715), which contributed to its spread in European & European-influenced countries.
Perukes or periwigs for men were introduced into the English-speaking world with other French styles when Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, (in exile he's spent a lot of his time in France). These wigs were shoulder-length or longer, imitating the long hair that had become fashionable among men since the 1620's. Their use quickly became popular in the English court.
With wigs virtually obligatory for men with social rank, wigmakers gained considerable prestige. Wigmaking was a skilled job as 17th century wigs were extremely elaborate, covering the back & shoulders & flowing down the chest; not surprisingly, they were also extremely heavy & often uncomfortable to wear. These wigs were very expensive to produce. The best examples were made from natural human hair. The hair of horses & goats was often used as a cheaper alternative!
In the 18th century, men's wigs were 'powdered' to give them their distinctive white or off-white colour. Women in the 18th century didn't wear wigs, but wore coiffures supplemented by artificial hair or hair from other sources. Women mainly powdered their hair grey, or blue-ish grey, & from the 1770's onwards never bright white like men. Wig powder was made from finely ground starch that was scented with orange flower, lavender, or orris root. Wig powder sometimes coloured violet, blue, pink or yellow, but was most often off-white.
Powdered wigs (men) & powdered natural hair with supplemental hairpieces (women) became essential for full dress occasions & continued in use until almost the end of the 18th century. This form of wigs worn at the coronation of George III in 1761 was lampooned by William Hogarth in his engraving Five Orders of Periwigs. Powdering wigs & extensions were messy & inconvenient, & the development of the naturally white or off-white powderless wig (made of horsehair) for men made the retention of wigs in everyday court dress a practical possibility.
By the 1780's, young men were setting a fashion trend by lightly powdering their natural hair, as women had already done from the 1770's onwards. After 1790, both wigs & powder were reserved for older, more conservative men, & were in use by ladies being presented at court. After 1790, English women rarely powdered their hair.
In 1795, the British government placed a tax on hair powder of one guinea per year. This tax effectively caused the demise of both the fashion for wigs & powder. George IV stopped wearing them as a result, the fashion thankfully died out!

MPS is proud to be able to offer you Xray Xperiments Vol 2 (XRAY 003) as a Limited Edition Two Disc set for the best reproduction and your listening pleasure. Here's a quick breakdown of the tracks, why I like this record so much and a chance to hear it in full if unfamiliar: I first came across this 6 track EP in Selecta-Disc, Northampton, it has been a treasured record in my collection ever since. On the Original issue the most popular track, ''Take No Chance'', was located last on the A side, the lowest sound quality part of any vinyl disc. Later, presumably for DJ's, a louder cut Remix Single of ''Take No Chance'' was issued. The track featured again on the compilation ''Classic To The Core'' but sourced from vinyl as Aphrodite, who compiled the collection, did not know who made the music so they could not be found. After a long search, over several years I did find the original Artists and the DAT Tapes too. Carefully remastered by Bob Macc at Subvert Central Mastering the music sounds significantly better than ever before while retaining all the qualities that make this EP so essential. The tracks are all excellent and are as follows: ''Intensity'' uses that familiar nagging spoken word sample ''It's The Point Of Greatest Intensity'' used by Speedy J with sparse Detroit soaked rhythms. ''Kick The Bass'' is a personal favourite. Maddeningly good use of a simple vocal sample with a huge wobble your guts Bass Line and a catchy Belgian style catchy hoover riff. ''Take No Chance'' was the floor-filler on this EP. Big Breaks, Hoover Synths, a huge sped up Piano riff (lifted from an Italian House classic) and catchy female vocal cut up, (taken from a New York House record). All combining to full effect on any dancefloor. ''Take Me Higher'' is sublime Vocal Techno that never gets tired. The producer cannot remember where the vocal came from so feel free to tell us. We need to know in a nerdy kind of way so we can own a copy:) A true classic and essential for any collector or underground DJ. ''O.V.L.D'' is classic wobbly British Techno that would sit well with anything Peacefrog did in the 80's/ 90's or bleepy UK Northern Techno..

The holidays are quickly approaching, which also means proposal season is right around the corner. It's likely that you've heard the commonly-stated guideline that your budget for an engagement ring should equal two months salary; however, that's not usually the case. Everyone's budget is different regardless of salary, and there are many ways to score the ring of your partner's dreams without breaking the bank.
The rule that mentions you must save at least two-months salary to purchase an engagement ring is a complete myth. Although this is a valuable investment, it's imperative for you to stay friendly to your budget. Only you know what you can afford so don't allow anyone to pressure you into spending more than you're comfortable with.
As you ring shop, there are the four C's in diamond shopping that you must keep in mind: cut, color, clarity and carat. As all four are important, but the cut is the most critical due to how it determines the diamond's visual beauty. A well-cut diamond will have that intense sparkle and fire you are looking for, so make sure your decision is based on more than size alone.
Brides who aren't traditional and prefer a modern engagement ring may want something unique that speaks to their personality. Gemstones, bands with color, non-conventional shapes, etc. not only add character to a ring but can also reduce the cost compared to a traditional, diamond ring.
Bigger is not always better in some cases. Buying a one-carat diamond is typically a standard for many couples; however, most people cannot tell the difference between a slightly smaller diamond. If you prefer a bigger look for less, explore the cluster and multi-top styles. For couples staying budget-friendly, these are both cost effective options worth considering.
Whether you realize that you want to go with a different style or perhaps your partner just doesn't love the ring, ensure that you have options. The good news is a reputable jeweler will have a return or exchange policy, so be sure you fully understand these policies before making your purchase.

Q: Public members in package private class I wonder if it's okay (not considered bad practice) to have public members in package private class. I tend to add public keyword to members of my default visibility classes to indicate that such members are part of the classes API.
I do it only for readability, since in this case public members have essentially the same visibility as members without any access modifiers (i.e. package visibility). Is that correct?
Example:
class ModuleImplementationClass {
    private int fieldA;
    private String fieldB;

    private void someClassInternalMethod() {
         // impl
    }

    public int doSth() {
        // method that will be called by other classes in the package
    }
}

A:
I do it only for readability, since in this case public members have essentially the same visibility as members without any access modifiers (i.e. package visibility). Is that correct?

Well that depends. Not if you're overriding existing methods (e.g. toString()) or implementing an interface.
If you don't want the method to be used from outside the package, make it package private. If you're happy for it to be used from anywhere, make it public. Or another way to think about it: design your method access so that if someone changed just the class access to make it a public class, you wouldn't want to change the method access too.

The 18th-Century Passion for Botany: Women
June 10, 2019 June 1, 2019 / Maura Flannery
Paper cutout of Passiflora laurifolia by Mary Delany, in the collection of the British Museum
The last post was on the enthusiasm for gardening that flourished in the 18th century. One aspect of this trend was the increasing interest in horticulture among women, especially those with the wealth to satisfy it. A prominent example was Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland (1715-1785). She was curious about all aspects of natural history and was an prodigious collector not only of animals, plants, and minerals, but also of paintings and the decorative arts. After her husband's death in 1762, she devoted more time to bringing exotic plants to the gardens of her estate at Bulstrode Park and learning as much as she could about natural history. She had impressive collections in conchology, entomology, and ornithology, but I'll concentrate on the plants. Bentinck knew Peter Collinson (see last post) and received North American plants from him. He also suggested that she hire Daniel Solander, Carl Linnaeus's former student who had recently arrived from Sweden, to arrange her collections according to the Linnaean system. She may have had massive numbers of organisms, but unlike many other collectors, they were well-organized (Laird, 2015).
Bentinck also hired another émigré, the botanical artist Georg Ehret, not only to paint plants she grew, but also to teach art to her daughters. Another member of her household was the Reverend John Lightfoot, who served as chaplain and naturalist, giving special attention to her shells and plants. She financed his collecting in various parts of Britain and took botany lessons from him. The duchess was obviously more than just a plant lover; she had a sophisticated appreciation of botany, and not surprisingly, kept a herbarium. In fact, none other than the French philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, gave her two portable herbaria. As I'll discuss in the last post in this series, he became passionate about botany toward the end of his life, had a herbarium, and created others for patrons such as the Duchess, whom he visited while in England in 1767.
Bentinck was not the only woman with broad intellectual pursuits. She was loosely connected with the original group of bluestockings, who met to discuss their mutual intellectual interests. She was particularly close to another member, Mary Delany, also a gardening enthusiast whose knowledge of botany deepened with time. Delany came from a less wealthy line of nobility, but this still gave her access to royal circles. She had a dreadful first marriage, and eventually found love and contentment with an Irish clergyman and friend of Jonathan Swift's. She developed their garden near Dublin and led a satisfying life until the Rev. Delany's death in 1768. Like many women of her time, she took an interest in drawing, and combined with her gardening passion, it's not surprising that she drew flowers. Among her accomplishments was the design of floral embroidery patterns including those used on a gown she wore when presented at court. Though she did needlework, the gown was made by professional embroiderers and precisely displayed about 200 identifiable species (see image below). It was so magnificent that portions were preserved and passed down through her family for generations (Hayden, 1994).

After her husband's death, Delany spent months at a time visiting Bulstrode Park, working with the Duchess on her plant collections and studying with Rev. Lightfoot. They would press plants, draw them, and dissect them using a microscope, another not uncommon aspect of botanical interest at the time. Naturally, they also walked through the gardens regularly, but in 1772, Delany had a sore foot that kept her sidelined. She occupied her time by coloring pieces of paper and then cutting them out to form pictures of flowers. These were very much in the tradition of botanical illustrations: a single branch against a plain background, though instead of the usual white, she used black. They could be likened to herbarium specimens, having more depth and texture than an illustration does. There are even a couple of cases where she added real leaves to a work. Delany, and presumably the Duchess, were pleased with her compositions, and so she continued. Over time the pieces became more elaborate. At first, she would paint in details, but later she cut out tiny pieces of paper to form minute structures. One particularly amazing example was used on the cover of a catalogue for an exhibition on Mrs. Delany and Her Circle (Laird & Weisberg-Roberts, 2009). It presents the passionflower, Passiflora, in all its glory (see figure at top).
During the next 10 years Delaney completed over 900 cutouts, with the Linnaean name for each species written on the back. When King George III and his wife Queen Charlotte, another devoted gardener, visited Bulstrode, they marveled at Delany's work and within months she was given access to plants at Kew Gardens. There the King's confidante, Joseph Banks, was converting the garden to the study of exotic species. Delany also received plants from a number of other sources, including the Quaker gardener John Fothergill, a patron of the American nurseryman John Bartram, and William Pitcairn, who sponsored plant collecting in the East and West Indies (Laird, 2015). Her work is a notable example of how women combined botanical knowledge with the arts. The next post will focus on the artwork resulting from the passion for plants in the 18th century.

At least part of the problem with mobile VR has been the hardware - the horsepower just isn't quite there yet for the truly immersive experiences systems like Vive and Oculus provide. But there's also the problem of VR itself just not being all that compelling (in my opinion). Anyway, what say you? Do you use VR? How often? Sound off in the comments after voting in the poll below.
How often do you use virtual reality products (that you own)?
Not every day, but several times a week.
Once in a while (not even monthly).
I used my VR headset once or twice, then never again.
I have never used VR.

Preview: Sensing and Sensibility: Politics and Technology in the Contemporary City

We have been told that, like our minds and memories, our computers' hard drives are palimpsests—that even when we delete files, traces of our activities remain as encoded fragments of personal data digitally persisting unto posterity. The Internet is similarly awash in the ripples created by our surfing, with search history, purchase history and various personal histories all entwined in the comet-like trails of our virtual movements. These data, which we are continually producing, are mined by government entities and private corporations for a variety of purposes, ranging from law enforcement to marketing.
And what of our physical movements, from home to work to play? Of course, they, too, are tracked, monitored and archived, by surveillance video in the public realm and our own smartphones glowing benignly in our pockets—making the built environment a social palimpsest writ large. Individuals' movements become mass motion, whittling dirt pathways into park greenery and carving underground transit tunnels beneath our cities. Infrastructure, hardscape and greenscape change with the tides of human movement, and buildings reflect generational shifts in taste, fashion, and technology. Meanwhile, data is constantly being generated and collected.
The stuff of many a dystopian nightmare, these facts are also the subject of much intellectual debate. Join the conversation at a panel talk co-organized by MAS Context and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago on Thursday, April 23. Moderated by architect, urban designer and MAS Context editor Iker Gil, "Sensing and Sensibility: Politics and Technology in the Contemporary City" will feature Javier Arbona, Ingrid Burrington, Laura Forlano and Douglas Pancoast, whose diverse practices converge at the interstices of design, theory, urbanism, power, and politics.
The talk will build on the ongoing work of each panelist to explore the intersection of politics and technology in the contemporary city. The discussion will address questions like: What patterns are uncovered by data mining, and who owns that data? How can this vast amount of information be useful in shaping our cities? How do these technologies change how people use space? What are the unintended consequences? So far, no word yet on a betting pool as to who will reference "Metropolis" first, or what the over-under might be on "Brazil" vs. "Blade Runner" mentions. For more information about this free public event, visit the website. (Brook Rosini)

Q: Creating a button dynamically with a user inputted title from different activity I'm trying to learn a little about android programming on the side, but I am still a beginner, so any help would be really appreciated, I'm sure this isn't too hard for someone with some experience.
What I want to do is be able to load up an activity, which originally just an "add button" button.
When the add button is clicked the page links to 3 user inputted strings (say str1, str2, str3).  I want to be able to click a button on this second activity and have the screen link back to the original activity, with a new button added displaying "str1 str2 str3" and the "add button" button underneath that new one.
I have managed to do the first part and have created all of the fields and the button on the 2nd activity, but I don't know how to go about creating the button back on the first activity dynamically and with the string desired.
Thank you all in advance!!

A: in your layout add a button
<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="..."/>

and in your java try this:
Button mButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
mButton.setTextSize(str1+str2+str3);

and for button click event:
    mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
     @Override
     public void onClick(View view) {

       //do what you want here

     }
   });

Pierre-Oliver Cheptou examines two seemingly contradictory findings. Over the last 10 years, well-established patterns of evolution have emerged. First, experimental studies have shown that self-fertilization is likely to evolve in a few generations (microevolution). This is as a response to rapid environmental change. (e.g. pollinator decline), eventually rescuing a population. Yet, phylogenetic studies have demonstrated that repeated evolution towards self-fertilization (macroevolution) leads to a higher risk of lineage extinction. In the long-term evolving self-fertilization is likely to be disadvantageous.
Phylogenetic relationships in the Solanaceae species (356 species). See Cheptou 2019 for details.
In either case – the short-term or long-term evolution of self-fertilization (selfing) – these findings show that a mating system is not neutral with respect to population or lineage persistence. They also suggest that selfing can have contrasting effects depending on time scale. This raises the question of whether mating system evolution can rescue populations facing environmental change. In his review, Cheptou analyzes empirical and theoretical evidence of the direct and indirect effects of mating systems on population demography and lineage persistence . He also developed a simple theoretical evolutionary rescue model to investigate the potential for evolutionary rescue through selfing.
Demographic studies show a short-term advantage of selfing provided by reproductive assurance, but a long-term disadvantage for selfing lineages, suggesting indirect genomic consequences of selfing (e.g. mutation load and lower adaptability). But, his theoretical evolutionary rescue model found that even in the short term, while mating system evolution can lead to evolutionary rescue, it can also lead to evolutionary suicide, due to the inherent frequency-dependent selection of mating system traits. These findings point to the importance of analysing the demographic consequences of self-fertilization in order to predict the effect of selfing on population persistence as well as take into account the indirect genomic consequences of selfing.

Community philanthropy: true to life?
1 Carola Carazzone
WINGS's contribution to the series of initiatives focusing on community philanthropy this year is a new report, Infrastructure in Focus: A special look at organizations serving community philanthropy.
WINGS' Community Foundations Global Status Report 2010 showed that the best way to predict new growth in community foundations between 2008 and 2010 was to look at the number of infrastructure organizations that had been serving and promoting community philanthropy in 2003. Our recent report found similar results: 'In those countries with a dedicated community philanthropy support organization, the average growth from 2010 to 2013 was about nine new community foundations, compared with less than one in countries where no supporting infrastructure organization was present.'
Launch of Infrastructure in Focus at the 2014 Fall Conference for Community Foundations, Cleveland.
The Community Foundation Atlas, a project to map community foundations globally in which WINGS participated, identified 1,827 foundations, an increase from 1,680 in 2010. Data revealed that the WINGS global network represents more than 1,000 of these community foundations and that infrastructure is accompanying the field's growth – 60 per cent of the support organizations were created in the 1990s and 2000s.
Community foundations were largely positive about the work of infrastructure organizations, mentioning that a number of WINGS members had been particularly helpful to their work. To build on existing improvements, we have used this report to begin testing the 4Cs framework (capacity, capability, connection and credit), using real stories to evaluate the work of infrastructure organizations. We hope this body of work will help facilitate continued growth in the field for years to come.
