Plans unveiled for Oxford Street to be pedestrianised next year
Darren Best
The plans mean that east to west traffic will be removed, whilst some of the north to south route will be retained, subject to consultation. The plans for December next year, also coincide with the launch of the Elizabeth Line services, also known as the Crossrail, which is expected to bring an estimated 1.5million extra commuters to the city, boasting an even busier shopping district. The proposals itself span a half-mile section between Oxford Circus and Orchard Street and Sadiq Khan has commented that the publication of the plans is 'a hugely exiting moment for the capital'. Paris has already introduced a no car policy once a month on its famous shopping street, Champs Elysees. Khan continued to add: 'Oxford Street is world famous with millions of visitors every year, and in just over a year the iconic part of the street west of Oxford Circus could be transformed into a traffic-free pedestrian boulevard.' Photo credit: IR Stone/Shutterstock Transport for London (TFL) has been working closely with the major to reduce the number of buses running through the area since last summer. The plans will also mean that new and extended taxi ranks could be created nearby to allow black cabs to pick up and drop off eager-eyed shoppers, looking to grab some hot deals from some of the city's famous department stores. Cyclists will have to dismount under the new scheme, although the mayor is hoping to propose a new cycle route along quieter roads to the north and south of the street next summer. Khan further commented that 'whether you're a local resident, a business, or shop in some of the area's famous stores, our plans will make the area substantially cleaner and safer for everyone, creating one of the finest public spaces in the world'. The scheme will also raise the carriageway to be level with the pavements on either side, to boost accessibility. The scheme will also have a piece of public art that will have been commissioned and designed to run along the entire length, symbolising the area as a pedestrianised zone.

Timmons goes the distance at the U of R
Vianne Timmons, the University of Regina's first female president, reflects on her struggles and achievements of the past 10 years.
Pamela Cowan, Regina Leader-Post

Vianne Timmons is a heavy hitter in the world of academia.
As a wife, mother of four children, grandmother of two and the first female president and vice-chancellor of the University of Regina, she's also needed an outlet from time to time.
"Boxing is the best stress reliever," she says."It's an early morning class and I highly recommend it."
But working late and rising early left her sleep deprived, so she put boxing on the back burner. That's the dilemma many women face, she says. They put their personal needs last.
Timmons has gone the distance and proven her abilities as an academic contender, but in the process realizes her generation of women have been remiss in not talking openly about the difficulties of juggling career, home and self care.
"My daughters think we were super women," Timmons says. "We parented, we had a career, we managed it all and we never talked about the tears, the frustration and the challenges."
September will mark a decade Timmons has been in the president's chair. Over the 10 years, there have been challenges, achievements and crises — all requiring hard work — a trait she learned early in life.

Growing up in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1960s, the iron miner's daughter came from a poor family. Early in life, her parents stressed the value of higher education and hard work.
"I got through university on scholarships and bursaries and I had to work," Timmons says. "There were no handouts. All of my brothers and sisters had to learn about the benefit of hard work and all six of us have a university education. My parents are so proud of that because they didn't have those opportunities."
She received her bachelor of arts degree in English and psychology in 1979 from Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. and the following year a bachelor of education degree in special education from Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S.
After completing her bachelor degrees, she moved to British Columbia where she landed her first teaching job and met her future husband, Stuart Mason.
Marrying Mason was a package deal that included two daughters, Nancy and Kelly. Two more children would be added to the family.
With Mason's military career, the family moved around a lot, which was part of the reason Timmons kept studying.
She obtained her master of education in special education at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., in 1983 and her PhD in education psychology from the University of Calgary in 1993.
The point came when the couple made the decision to prioritize Timmons' career. In 1992, after 20 successful years as a military police officer, Mason left and became a private investigator.
But his military service came with emotional baggage.
Timmons isn't sure if Mason suffered post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) while serving in the military, but depression was an issue. The problem was mental health issues weren't talked about in those days.

Those were tumultuous times as the couple and their four kids — two who were very young — relocated from Calgary to Antigonish, N.S. where Timmons took a position at St. Francis Xavier University.
"It was a challenging time for our family," Timmons admits. "When I was in Nova Scotia, my parents were there. That helped a lot. I think about people who relocate and don't have family support who have challenges like I had — and many of us have. We need to be more open about our stories. And it's hard to be."
Despite the challenges on the home front, Mason supported her and her career.
"I never remember my husband ever saying to me, 'You need to be home' or 'Why are you travelling?' " Timmons says. "He was always, 'If there's an opportunity Vianne, you go.' "
Timmons is proud all of their children have university educations.
The couple's oldest daughter, Nancy, works for the federal government in Ottawa and has two children. Their son Samuel is articling at Legal Aid in Hamilton.
"He's a save-the-world kind of kid," Timmons says smiling. "My youngest daughter Taylor is in Madrid right now learning Spanish. She speaks English and French and wants to be trilingual. She has her master's in marine management. She's an adventurer."
Of their four children, she has learned the most from Kelly, their 39-year-old adopted daughter who has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), an umbrella term for a range of disabilities caused by drinking alcohol while pregnant.
"She's very open about me talking about it so she's given me permission to educate people," Timmons says. "She does very well, but she struggles with social relationships and interactions and anything abstract. She's very literal in how she thinks and deals with the world."

Despite struggling with abstract concepts, Kelly has earned a university degree and college diploma.
In a way, Timmons has come full circle. Her area of research and work focused on disabilities — a passion she discovered when she was 16 and taught swimming lessons to people with disabilities.
"Everyone of these children are unique so there often isn't a standard way to support the child or adult," Timmons says. "You have to be like a detective. You have to figure out how their mind works because their minds work differently."
Kelly was challenging to raise and sometimes rebelled against her mother's high expectations.
"She pushed me hard," Timmons says. "I thought that I would be this perfect mother and Kelly humbled me. She taught me humility.
"The way she saw the world was not the way I saw the world. We had to learn together, the two of us. Sometimes I wasn't the greatest parent. Other times, I was a fabulous parent."
Attitudes are slowly changing, but stigma continues to surround FASD because of the connection between pregnancy and drinking.
To promote greater understanding, Timmons has participated in community awareness events with Kelly.
"There's so much guilt and judgment associated with it and there is guilt associated with PTSI because often it's these strong first responders who are supposed to overcome everything that end up experiencing it," Timmons says.
The highs and lows of leading
Timmons came to Regina in 2008 from the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) where she was vice-president of academic development.
On campus, she influenced many careers including that of Barbara Campbell, director of international relations at UPEI.
"She never hesitates to support and influence people's professional directions," says Campbell, a research colleague and friend.
Campbell leaned on Timmons when she was struggling to finish her PhD dissertation and sought her advice after one of her daughters was diagnosed with a learning disability.
"She's finishing her master's (degree) so she will have three degrees," Campbell says of her daughter. "Vianne really helped educate our family on learning disabilities."
In 2008, the UPEI international student award was renamed in honour of Timmons. Amid much controversy, she was instrumental in starting a mandatory first-year global affairs course.

"I'm a professor in nursing, but I taught that course because, like her, I feel strongly about graduates from the university having some global exposure so they learn about places outside the Canadian perspective," Campbell says.
Those were tough times for Timmons, she reflects.
"She was the only female administrator at the time and she faced a lot of opposition," Campbell says.
A number of Timmons' proud UPEI colleagues flew to Regina to attend her installation as president and vice-chancellor of the U of R.
"I knew she would succeed," says Campbell, who was a reference for Timmons when she was named an Officer of the Order of Canada last year. "I absolutely knew she would … She surrounded herself with strong people to support her, which is what you do when you take on a new position.
"I think it worked well for her, but it wasn't without a lot of stress, which she can handle, but it does speak to the old boy's club that still exists in higher education."
She's not shy about promoting or defending the university, but leading in a traditionally male-dominated field is not easy.
"You'd think that you get to this level and you wouldn't experience challenges, but you still do," Timmons says candidly. "If I travel with a male vice-president, presidents in other countries talk to him rather than me."
Criticism comes from many fronts including Twitter and social media. Timmons cringes when she sees comments focus on her clothes and hair, not her abilities.
"Those are the things that you experience as a woman leader," she says. "You're judged differently and you need to manage that."

On the flip side, her position and longevity in it gives her a voice to talk about gender bias. She and her senior team members took unconscious bias training to ensure everyone recognized there is bias about race, culture, religion, gender and sexual orientation.
"The greatest learning through that training is that we should not be looking at treating everyone equally," Timmons says. "We should be looking at treating everyone in a unique way."
She hopes the recent MeToo movement spurs significant and lasting change, like the suffragist movement did.
"We expect treatment that is respectful, we expect opportunities that are equal for everyone, we expect to be in a workplace without harassment … It's a great time right now to be a woman leader because change is happening."
When Timmons began as U of R president, one of her priorities was addressing the declining student enrolment, which was 11,700 in her first year on the job.
There are now 15,000-plus students — the highest in the university's history — registered at the university and its three federated colleges.
"It's been an amazing ride with this university, but it's not been without challenges," Timmons says.
The first 18 months were a relatively easy ride and a time of "decent government funding," but then came the crisis at the First Nations University of Canada in February 2010. The federal and provincial governments lost patience with the-then board and administration of FNUniv after five years of alleged financial irregularities and cut a combined $12.5 million in funding.
Dozens of faculty had been fired or quit over a row about academic freedom and political interference from a 26-member board.
FNUniv regained government funding after significant governance changes were made and a memorandum of understanding agreement was signed between the institution, the U of R, the province and the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations.
The U of R played a key support role in saving FNUniv and interim president Dr. Shauneen Pete paid tribute to the wise counsel of Timmons.

Don Healy / Regina Leader-Post
The next crisis came in 2013 — a time of funding pressures.
In February, the U of R senate voted to cut or suspend some of the institution's program offerings. In September of the same year, two IT staff members were paid nearly $380,000 for unearned overtime.
Concerns about finances and transparency evolved into a motion by staff and students to hold a vote of non-confidence against Timmons and provost Tom Chase, which failed by a one-vote margin.
"That was the hardest thing I went through," Timmons says. "That was because we'd made so many changes and we didn't have our ears to the ground on campus. Faculty and staff needed stability. They needed some space to absorb all of the changes on campus."
Mending fences on the divided campus was a lesson in leadership.
"I learned how easy it is to misread your community so I made some big changes after that in terms of listening more, getting out and asking people how things are going," Timmons says. "If you go through a crisis and you don't learn, then what a waste!
"I wanted to make sure that all that pain and all that hurt and frustration resulted in better processes and policies on our campus and I think it did. Many presidents don't survive those incidents and we did. And I say 'we' because we were all in crisis."
University of Regina President Vianne Timmons chairs a university council meeting on Friday. The meeting was called to vote on whether or not to hold a vote of non-confidence vote in her leadership and that of vice-president academic Tom Chase. TROY FLEECE / Regina Leader-Post
Around the same time, two U of R students from Nigeria — Victoria Ordu and Favour Amadi — were in sanctuary in a series of Regina churches after the unwittingly ran afoul of immigration rules when they took part-time, off-campus jobs to help with their expenses. As part of their visas, international students could work only on campus.
Timmons lobbied the federal government to let the two women stay and came out swinging when they voluntarily heeded a deportation order and left the country in 2014.
When they were allowed back into the country, Timmons headed up the welcoming delegation at the Regina International Airport on June 7, 2014.

That was one of many highs of her "rollercoaster job" that has seen rising enrolment, increased research funding, the new residences and the College Avenue revitalization project.
As for the future, Timmons is crossing her fingers about finances. Last year's provincial budget saw the U of R take a seven-per-cent cut in funding.
"We are such a lean institution," she says. "I'm hoping that everyone recognizes that we did our part. The provincial government does have a budget challenge, but that cut went deep. I hope the government recognizes that we're an economic driver for this province."
Earlier this month, the university was awarded $30 million in federal funding over five years so researchers can focus on PTSI and develop an internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy pilot program.
That funding is in addition to a $8.9-million contract the federal government awarded to the U of R in December to cover the first three years of a research study that will examine the impact of stress on RCMP officers.
"That research funding brings people to the community, brings graduate students, brings research assistants, it pays for consulting fees, for sub contracts, for equipment — the benefits are huge," Timmons says.
She's proud that for the first time, the U of R will host the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences — Canada's largest interdisciplinary academic conference from May 26 to June 1.
Congress will draw 7,000 scholars, students, practitioners and policy-makers from across the country.
"That's the university doing that, so I'm hoping government recognizes that an investment in us is an investment in the economy," Timmons says.
The Board of Governors has offered Timmons a five-year extension, but she's noncommittal about her next move.
"I will take it one year at a time and make sure that I'm still providing value, but recognizing also that at times it's good for organizations to change leadership," she says.
When Timmons moves on to the next chapter, she doesn't know where she and her husband will retire, but her affection for Regina is obvious.
"I want to say thank you to this community and this university for welcoming a Maritime girl to Saskatchewan and helping her to identify as a Prairie girl," Timmons says. "I've never been in a more welcoming community and I've lived all over Canada. There's something very special about this place where people open their arms and welcome you in. It's indescribable."

Love is a ripple
Posted on 14th Feb 2022 22nd Mar 2022 by TheZenith
Love is a pebble cast into the waters of the heart. It disturbs that unchanging silence that lives there.
It's upsets the stillness that is to be observed when one gazes upon the surface of the water. It distorts and rents the smooth, linear unity that defines a timeless body of water that remains unaffected by catalyst.
But like a body of water that sees no movement, the heart may also become stagnant growing ever more murky, difficult to penetrate and most difficult to navigate when stagnation is in the ascendancy.
And so love is the pebble cast into the waters of the heart, sparking dynamic change, providing fluidity and dispelling the both crusty and gummy film that has begun to alight there.
And so a person who receives this gift of love, of change, sees their own barriers perhaps their own defences bayoneted too with the simplicity of a 'plop', but the force of a battering ram.
The ripples that appear are small but intense for this is how love begins to work. It may be seen to be the dawn of creation itself even the dawn of a new creation in the heart. Firey passion, chaotic upheaval, intense attractions and feelings for the one who is in love. But after a time the magma of heart is tamed and bridled by those soothing, quenching elements of air and water, until the transformative heart settles into her new creation.
Image: coolwallpapers
The ripples become longer and wider, the times between these ripples slows, and to the one who awaits the tremors of the heart, that these ripples of love herald; they may scan the horizon day by day awaiting the messenger of love to announce its arrival. Forlornity, disagreement, and argument creep in. But for those who remain avid seekers of love, they wait out the drought for when the next ripple finally arrives, it is a deluge bringing new growth, maturity and new depths of understanding.
To those brave adventurers and explorers who set forth in the name of love. Those who would cast their own pebbles into the ponds and waters of the heart; were we would say to you, be like the prospector who sifts for gold amongst the silt at the rivers edge. Be unto the gambler who casts his die upon the table in the hope and faith that the twin lovers of sixes show proudly. Be that person who's honour is to cast the champagne bottle upon the ships hull, christening it upon its maiden voyage.

Nothing is ever gained if nothing is ever ventured, everything is a risk of some sort in your journey of life, the way is unclear, the outcome is uncertain but with hope and faith at either side of you and that central pillar of love betwix the two, you may know that your choosing is both blessed and honoured but those loving entities who guide and watch over you.
Dedicated to an Egyptian princess of old Egypt. I have found you again. A.B

Government Issue est un groupe américain de punk rock et hardcore punk, fondé en 1980 et actif de 1981 à 1989.

Evolution du groupe
Le nom du groupe fait référence à un jeu de mots sur le nom parfois donnés aux soldats américains, les GI de manière ironique ("problème gouvernemental").

Le groupe a connu de nombreux changements au cours de ses neuf années d'existence, le chanteur John Stabb étant le seul membre régulier d'un line up en perpétuelle fluctuation. A certains moment, il a compris des musiciens notables comme Brian Baker, Mike Fellows, Steve Hansgen , J. Robbins ou Peter Moffett. Government Issue trouve son origine dans la scène hardcore de Washington DC, mais a ajouté des éléments de heavy metal, de new wave et de rock psychédélique sur des enregistrements ultérieurs. Bien que cela ait fait que le groupe soit parfois négligé par rapport à d'autres groupes hardcore de Washington DC, leur diversité stylistique les rendit influents pour les groupes punk-rock ultérieurs. Government Issue a organisé des concerts de reformation occasionnels dans les années 2000 et 2010, avec différentes formations, jusqu'à la mort de Stabb d'un cancer de l'estomac en 2016.

The Ultimate Case Of 'What Might Have Been'
Sad Tale Of Cursed Goal Phenomenon
Wolves Heroes are booked in for a visit to see Ted Farmer at his Bridgnorth home on Thursday. We will also be present in the previous few hours at a players' charity golf day at nearby Astbury Hall. Ted tells us that his local rugby club recently secured a return trip to Twickenham and regrets the fact that he doesn't see one of his long-time friends Gerry Harris, who is not far away in Claverley, out and about much any more. Clearly, he shows a keen interest in what is going on around him in a town to which he moved from Wombourne almost three years ago.
Media Watch: Nick Owen

In a new series of occasional features, we ask prominent members of the media fraternity - particularly those whose involvement goes back decades - for their Wolves memories. First up is well-known TV personality Nick Owen, now the head presenter on Midlands Today but formerly of Good Morning Britain and TV-am, among others, and, even before that, a sports reporter and presenter on the fledgling BBC Radio Birmingham.

Suicide Royal Commission's first public hearing next month
19/10/2021 Posted by Brian Hartigan 1265 Views 0 Comments Suicide Royal Commission
Share the post "Suicide Royal Commission's first public hearing next month"
The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide will hold its first public hearing at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Friday 26 November 2021.
The ceremonial hearing will be open to the public if COVID restrictions allow. It will also be webcast on the Royal Commission website.
At the official opening, the Commissioners will explain how they will conduct the inquiry.
Royal Commission Chair Nick Kaldas said it marks an important milestone for those personally affected by the tragedy of suicide.
"Many within the defence and veteran community have lost loved ones, or have themselves experienced suicidal thoughts, impulses or actions during or after their military service," Commissioner Kaldas said.
"As we embark on this inquiry, we hope to learn from the personal experiences of those who have served and their families to identify systemic issues and risk factors that can lead to suicide."
The Commission's first block of public hearings will begin in Brisbane on November 29.
The Royal Commission will also begin private sessions in Brisbane in November.
During private sessions, defence members, veterans and their families are invited to share their experiences with a Commissioner in a confidential setting. They will be given the opportunity to raise issues they see as having contributed to suicide and make suggestions for change.
People with lived experience of suicide are invited to apply for a private session, if that is their preference. Private sessions will run for the duration of the Royal Commission.
The Royal Commission is also encouraging people to share their experiences by making a submission.
These submissions will help the Commission understand:
Systemic issues among defence and veteran deaths by suicide
Risk and protective factors, and
The availability of support services
The Royal Commission acknowledges that it may be difficult for some to come forward and tell their stories, and support will be available each step of the way.
"Counsellors will be on hand for those who engage with the Royal Commission and our staff will work to ensure these services operate in conjunction with individuals' existing health and family support networks," Commissioner Kaldas said.
Last week the Federal Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Defence Personnel announced the appointment of consultants McKinsey & Company to take action to improve the claims system for supporting veterans, administered by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. The Minister is reported to have said that McKinsey & Co would be consulting with bereaved families of veterans who have died by suicide.
The Royal Commission looks forward to learning more about the scope and nature of the actions McKinsey & Co will be taking, and to working with the Department to ensure the interests and wellbeing of bereaved families are protected.
"We recognise the urgent need to make improvements to deliver a faster, more efficient and effective system for all veterans and their families," Commissioner Kaldas said.
"We will consider all the changes arising from this process, either recommended or implemented, as part of our inquiry and final report.
"We are mindful that with both organisations seeking to work closely with Defence members, veterans and their families, our processes should support those involved and avoid being duplicative, conflicting, or otherwise overwhelming," Commissioner Kaldas said.
The Royal Commission was established on July 8, 2021, to address the high suicide rates among those who have served in the Australian Defence Forces. It will produce an interim report by August 11, 2022 and a final report by June 15, 2023.

When Science Gets Involved in Politics
Naira Musallam, PhDJun 7 2016
"You won't give me the money to pay for a scientific poll" declared Roger Stone as he separated from the Donald Trump campaign as a senior advisor. What did he mean by that and why is it so important for the voter to know something about it?
There is no shortage of polling results presented on a daily basis. In fact, there are so many of them that many times there are even conflicting results. Whether you are republican, democrat, or an independent voter, it is important to be able to weed out the good from the bad polling results so you can make informed decisions. How exactly do you do that?
Welcome to inferential statistics. Sounds complicated and a bit out of your comfort zone? It shouldn't be, and here's why. The principles are much simpler than you think. In an ideal world, a public opinion poll would reach out to its entire population and ask them about their opinions. This isn't really feasible with over 200 million registered voters in the U.S. Because it is not feasible to do so, statisticians opt for sampling techniques; to select cases so the final sample is representative of the population from which it was drawn. A sample can be considered representative if it is able to replicate the important characteristics of the population. For example, if a population consists of 60% female and 40% male, then a representative sample would have the same ratio composition. The sample should have the same proportional makeup of all important demographic characteristics such as age, location, socioeconomic status, and ethnic background. In other words, a representative sample is similar to the population but on a smaller scale.
How do we guarantee a representative sample? While we could never guarantee 100% representation, we are able to maximize the chances of a representative sample by following the principle of EPSEM (the "Equal Probability of Selection Method"), considered the fundamental principle of probability sampling. Statisticians have developed several sampling EPSM techniques, including Simple Random sampling (cases are randomly drown from tables or lists), Systematic Random sampling (where a starting point is chosen at random and choices thereafter are at regular intervals), Stratified Random sampling (where you first divide the population list into sub-lists according to important characteristics and then sample from those lists), and Cluster sampling (which involves selecting groups of cases rather than single cases where the clusters are based on important characteristics such as geography).
The EPSM techniques are sound scientific techniques that increase the probability of having a representative sample. Once obtained, statisticians rely on estimation techniques, to estimate population voting based on sample statistics.
So how do we move from sample statistics to inference about the population? Another important concept is something we call Sampling Distribution. It is the distribution of a statistic (such as the mean) for all possible sample outcomes of a certain size. What is important to understand here is that the sampling distribution is theoretical, meaning that the researcher never obtains it in reality, but it is critical for estimation. Why? This is due to its theoretical properties. The first being its shape is normal. You have heard before about the normal or "Bell Curve", which is a theoretical distribution of scores that is symmetrical and bell shaped. The standard normal curve always has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Furthermore, there are known probabilities that can be calculated based on the mean and standard deviation.
Here are some interesting distributions of the normal curve:
The distance between one standard deviation above the mean and one standard deviation below the mean encompasses exactly 68.26% of the total area under the curve
The distance between two standard deviations above the mean and two standard deviations below the mean encompasses exactly 95.44% of the total area under the curve
Back to the sampling distribution. First, because one can assume its shape is normal, that leads to the ability to calculate probabilities of various outcomes, if the mean and standard deviation are known (after converting scores to standardized scores known as Z scores, which specify whether a specific score is below or above the mean and by how many standard deviations).
Second, the mean of the sampling distribution is the same value as the mean of the population, and the standard error is equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of N. This is a result of the Central Limit Theorem: if repeated random sample of size N is drawn from any population with mean and standard deviation, then as N becomes large, the sampling distribution of sample means will approach normality.
At the end of the day, U.S. voters need to pay attention to the sampling techniques used in these polls. If it isn't one of the above, then there's a good chance the results you're looking at are a bit more misleading than you may think. Once you know that the sampling technique is sound, it is worth paying attention to the sample size and the confidence intervals involved.

Flying "The Jug"
A personal memoir from P-47 pilot 2nd Lt. Edwin Cottrell, who flew 65 missions in Europe.
This article appears in: Spring 2022
By Janis Allen
BACKSTORY: 2nd Lt. Edwin Cottrell served in the U.S. Army Air Forces from August 1942 through 1945, then enlisted in the Air Force Reserves in 1950 and completed 28 years in uniform, retiring as a colonel in the Air Force. His father, Dr. Elmer Cottrell, served in the U.S. Army in World War I, and his father-in-law, Dr. Paul Weed, was wounded and received two Purple Hearts while serving in the U.S. Army in World War I. On April 3, 2020, at age 98, Ed Cottrell told his story:
I was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on January 17, 1922. When I was six months old, my father and mother moved the family to Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, where my father was a teacher at Slippery Rock Normal School, which later became Slippery Rock Teachers College, which later became Slippery Rock University. I attended elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college in Slippery Rock.
While I was in college, I met my future wife, Millie, while we were freshmen. We went together all through college. After I joined the Air Force, and before I went overseas, we got married.
My military career actually started in the summer of my sophomore year. The government offered any students interested in getting a pilot's license to enroll in their CPT [College Pilot Training] program, which I did. I went to Sharon, Pennsylvania, and got 30 hours in a Piper Cub. I got my pilot's license during the summer between my sophomore and junior year.
Pearl Harbor then took place, and, in August 1942, I got my draft notice that said I was going to be called up very shortly. I decided I wanted to be a pilot, so I went to Pittsburgh, 52 miles south of Slippery Rock. I took the Navy test and passed it, and the Army Air Corps test and passed it. The Navy said, "If you join us, you'll leave tomorrow." The Army Air Corps said, "We're not ready for you yet. If you join us, go back to school and we'll call you." So, with that being a no-brainer, I decided to go with the Army Air Corps.
Lieutenant Ed Cottrell smiles from the cockpit of a fighter in 1944. He completed 65 combat missions.
I went back to school in the fall of '42. In February of '43, I got a notice that I was to report to Miami Beach. I boarded a train in Pittsburgh with maybe 300 to 400 other potential cadets and we arrived in Miami Beach where we did a month of basic training.
From there I was sent to a college in Beloit, Wisconsin, for two more months of sort of basic training—a lot of physical training and radio work. Since I had just about graduated with a degree in physical education, they said, "Why don't you run our physical training program?" which I did.
When we left Beloit, we were assigned to Santa Ana, California, where there were maybe 30 or 40 squadrons with over 100 people in each squadron. We did lots of drills and lots of PT. I was assigned to flight school at Visalia, California, where I went to train in a PT-19. During that time, they taught us lots of discipline, lots of flying, and lots of marching—PT and marching. During that time, you learned basically what the Army expected of you.
I finished flight school primary training and was then sent to Chico, California—north of Sacramento—for basic. There I flew the Vultee Vibrator, the PT-13, which was really a good airplane to get basic training in. It had wide landing gears and it shook all over, but it was a very reliable plane. From there we started to do aerobatics, and we did a lot of landings and takeoffs on short landing strips. We also did some radio work.
While we were at Chico, we were told to choose the area of the Army Air Corps we wanted to expand our training, whether it be bombers or fighters. So, I chose to go to fighters and was assigned to Luke Field in Phoenix, Arizona, for my advanced training. I flew the AT-6, the "Texan," which is a great little aircraft still used today as a starter plane for Air Force pilots going into their flight school.
At the end of my training at Luke Field, the last two weeks we had five hours of flying in the P-40 Warhawk fighter. That's the fighter that we thought we were all going to be assigned to overseas. Upon graduation as a second lieutenant, I went back to Slippery Rock on leave. There, Millie and I got married and spent two weeks together before I was to report to Wendover Field in Utah.
An unidentified pilot stands in front of a PT-19, one of the most popular primary trainers of the war, and the type which Ed Cottrell flew at Visalia, California.
Then I went to Wendover for my indoctrination to the plane I was going to fly overseas. There I found the most beautiful aircraft I'd seen—a brand-new P-47 Thunderbolt, which some people called "the Jug."
When I saw that P-47, I knew pretty much that we were going to the European theater of operations, where we'd be working with the Army in close support. And that's exactly what happened. At Wendover, we got a lot of aerial gunnery experience, we did a lot of night flying, we did a lot of formation flying, did a lot of dive-bombing and strafing runs—just as if we were in actual combat.
After six weeks, I was assigned to go to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on the way to New York to embark to Europe. In August 1944, I was put aboard a beautiful cruise ship called the Isle de France, which had been converted into a troop ship. We were assigned two people to a room, which meant that one slept during the day, and one slept at night till we got to England.
We were in England for about a week when, in September 1944, I was assigned to the 48th Fighter Group, 493rd Fighter Squadron, along with a lot of my friends who I trained with at Wendover. We were sent to an airfield called Cambrai, located outside of Paris, where we got our induction to become members of the 493rd. The second day we were there, we were taken up to formation with one of the pilots who was a veteran. We flew formation and did some simulated dive-bombing attacks and strafing attacks without firing guns—just so we got an idea of what we were going to be doing in combat.
While at Cambrai we started to fly our missions and then, in late September, we moved to St. Trond, Belgium. It was a beautiful airfield. There were 10,000-foot runways, and there were three squadrons of the 48th Fighter Group based around the airfield. We were on one side, and the 492nd and the 494th were on the other side. We stayed there from September until the middle of January 1945.
There were three incidents I recall that happened while we were at St. Trond. The first was on December 6, 1944; the weather was very bad. The U.S. Ninth Army was in close pursuit of the German army. We were called on a very rainy, cloudy day with no more than 200 feet visibility, to go skip-bomb a soccer field where the Americans were on one side and the Germans were on the other side. It was pretty much a stalemate.
Used as both a high-altitude escort fighter and a low-level fighter-bomber, the P-47 quickly gained a reputation for ruggedness. Its sturdy construction and air-cooled radial engine enabled the Thunderbolt to absorb severe battle damage and keep flying.
I flew wing man to our squadron commander, Major Stanley P. Latiolais, that day. He led 12 of us on this mission, where we were no more than 200 feet above the ground, flying at over 300 miles an hour, until we came to the little town of Jülich, Germany. We were required to come in over the American troops, maybe 30 or 40 yards across the field, to skip-bomb the Germans on the other side. We made two or three passes, got a lot of ground fire, and were successful in dropping our bombs. The Americans were able to move forward and push the Germans back.
Upon returning to our base, we found out that almost every plane had a lot of bullet holes in it where the small-arms ground fire had hit the planes. The P-47 was such a good plane that didn't faze it at all. Our 493rd Fighter Squadron got the Distinguished Unit Citation for that operation. Major Latiolais did a tremendous job of leading us on that mission, where some of the time we were flying on instruments and some of the time actually at treetop level.
On December 17, we were on a mission to locate some German Tiger tanks that were just east of Cologne in a wooded area and were on their way to Bastogne. We found out the Germans had broken through, and the Battle of the Bulge was taking place. Our airfield was the closest to Bastogne, Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge.
Again, I was flying wing to our commander. We located the Tiger tanks in the woods and went down on a dive-bombing mission. Major Latiolais was the first plane down; I was the second plane down. We dropped our bombs. As we pulled up, we ran into a group of Me 109 German Luftwaffe fighter planes.
On our pullout, on our way up, I noticed an Me 109 coming down at one o'clock toward my squadron commander. I called to him that there was a "bandit" [enemy plane] at one o'clock. The 109 shifted a little bit and the next thing I knew I felt this big blast as a 20mm cannon shell apparently hit my plane. All of a sudden, there was oil all over the windshield and I couldn't see anything. I was on an upward slope.
I opened the canopy, got on the radio to my commander and said I'd been hit and was heading west and going to fly the plane as far as I could. The plane sort of kicked out but it chugged along at about 120 miles an hour with oil flying out all over my windshield.
With machine guns blazing, a P-47 takes part in night gunnery practice. Ed Cottrell took his P-47 training at Wendover Field, Utah.
I looked out on one side, and there was an Me 109. I looked out on the other side and there was another 109. They crisscrossed behind me, and I thought I was going to be shot down. But they came up and pulled in right next to me. They flew with me back to the bomb line, where they used their thumbs and first fingers to make a little circle and peeled off. That was the signal they were leaving me, "Good luck and God bless," without shooting me down.
I kept going. I had no idea where I was. My radio still worked. I asked anybody that could hear if they knew where A-92 Field was. A voice on the radio said, "You're not very far from it. Turn 90 degrees and you should run into it."
I found out I was south of the airfield. It was strange territory because we had never landed at A-92 before, except when we came in from the north. Just as my plane was ready to touch down at the airfield, the engine froze up. I had to make a dead-stick landing and rolled to a stop.
When I got out of that plane, I kissed the ground because I knew I was a very fortunate person—I could've been shot down, the engine could've quit—a lot of things could've happened. But I came out the best that anyone could have in that situation.
I did lose one of my roommates that day, 2nd Lt. Art Sommers. He was a graduate of the University of Southern California. He got shot down. I didn't see him go down, but he didn't come back from the mission. We learned later that they found his plane and he had been killed.
On New Year's Day, 1945, during the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans had surrounded Bastogne. We were 17 miles away from there. We had been told that if the Germans broke through, we would probably be prisoners of war.
After a week in England, Ed's squadron was relocated to France in September 1944. Here a couple of P-47s of the 48th Fighter Group are being refueled by a Ninth Air Force ground crew at an airfield in France.
The day before New Year's Day, we had been told that all but 12 of the planes would be flown out to another airfield; they were going to leave 12 planes with 12 pilots. The 12 pilots were going to be the least-experienced ones. So, on New Year's Eve, we were told to get rid of all our personal items—burn them and keep only what we needed—our dog tags. No pictures.
We went to bed. At four o'clock in the morning I was told to get up; I was going to be the lead pilot on "runway alert." Runway alert is nothing more than four planes at the end of the runway, engines running. If the radar picked up any incoming, we were able to take off and go intercept them.
On that day when I was on runway alert, our squadron went on a mission. Another of my best friends and roommates was shot down and killed—2nd Lt. Ted Smith, from Wenatchee, Washington.
Without warning, eight Focke-Wulf 190s came in at ground level, below the radar, and came right over where we were sitting, to the middle of our airfield. There was a B-17 and a B-24 that were burned out, sitting there waiting to be scrapped. The Germans didn't know that, of course. The Germans hated B-17s and B-24s because those were the planes that were bombing all their cities and factories.
The FW 190s went right to the B-24 and B-17 with their machine guns going. But they didn't drop their belly tanks. As they came to the end of the field and pulled up to make another pass, our antiaircraft guns hit most of them. Two of them were not hit, and they came around to make another pass. The first of the 190s was on his dive down. He kept going down and down. He didn't pull out and he crashed at the end of the runway. The other plane kept going and shooting at the B-24 and the B-17.
We went out to where the German pilot was lying with his plane in flames and found out that he had a bullet in the middle of his forehead. He didn't look to be any more than 17 years old. We found out later that all the American airfields up and down the bomb line were hit at the same time that day. But the German Luftwaffe took a tremendous loss in their raids.
From January 1 on, our biggest concern in any missions that we had was the flak that came from the antiaircraft guns and the small-arms fire from the people that we were dive-bombing and strafing. The German air force, or what was left of it, was primarily used to attack our bombers, which were bombing the factories all over Germany.
A P-47 is silhouetted against an exploding German ammunition truck. The P-47s were outstanding in the ground-support role.
The Americans broke through the German encirclement at Bastogne then and finally forced the Germans to retreat. Starting in the middle of January, the Ninth Army, which we supported, was in the north. They started pushing the Germans back. Every mission we flew was in support of the Ninth Army—either dive-bombing or strafing, whatever they needed.
As the Ninth Army moved, we moved from then until May. We took off and landed on metal strips [Marston Mat, or PSP—Pierced Steel Planking] that the engineers put down in farm fields that were level. When we landed, the mud would come up between the metal strips. We had very short runways. When we were ready to move to the next base, the engineers took those metal strips and moved them up to the next area.
We lived in houses right near the airfield, wherever there was anything available for sleeping. They were empty either because people had fled from the Germans, or the Germans had lived in them and had left. A lot of Jewish people were herded away and killed, as you know. There were a lot of empty houses. Some of them had holes in the roofs. Some had no damage. But wherever we could find an empty house, that's where we bedded down.
We never did establish a [permanent] base from January until May 1945. Then, in May, the 48th was stationed south of Munich. I flew my last mission, my 65th, out of Nuremberg. Then the war was over. The people who had 65 or more missions, if they wanted to, could go home. If not, they would be going with the 48th Fighter Group, which was alerted that they would be going to Japan for the invasion. I chose to go home because I had a little daughter that I hadn't yet seen.
A couple of my buddies and I came home together; the other pilots left on a boat out of Antwerp to get ready to go to Japan. On their way, the war with Japan ended. I got home on the 1st of July and had time at home before I went to San Antonio to be discharged on July 24, 1945.
Ed Cottrell returned to Pennsylvania to build a civilian career in teaching and coaching: health and physical education, football, basketball, and baseball. He also taught driver training, painted the school buildings, pumped gas, and delivered mail during the summers—anything to support his growing family (he and Millie would have two daughters, Carol, and Susan).
P-47s of the 48th Fighter Group prepare to take off from a French field in 1944, taxiing on metal Marston Mats that were moved with the unit as it advanced toward Germany.
He joined the Air Force Reserves to make a little extra money and still serve his country. When the Air Force Academy was being developed in Colorado Springs, he was assigned to visit local high schools and get kids interested in applying to become cadets. He stayed in the reserves for 28 years, retiring at the grade of lieutenant colonel.
He was the Director of Athletics at Milton Hershey, at an orphan school for boys in Hershey, Pennsylvania. After three years, he went to West Chester State College, where he taught swimming and classroom subjects, and coached tennis, football, baseball, and golf. Eventually, he taught in the graduate school and became the Associate Dean, until retiring at age 57.
About the years after World War II, Cottrell said, "For a long time, I didn't talk about the war. I wanted to forget it. Then about 15 years ago, at one of our squadron reunions, we talked about how the country was different now.
"So, at that reunion, we all said that if we were ever asked, we would talk about our military experiences. That's why I talk about what we went through in order to preserve the freedom of this country. If Hitler had been successful, he wouldn't have stopped at anything. Thank the Lord, we stopped him."
Ed and Millie lived in Florida and Pinehurst, North Carolina, before moving to Hendersonville, North Carolina. She had worked as a physical education, health, and dancing teacher in many schools over the years, sometimes even with her husband. The couple celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary on April 21, 2020.

Q: Why can't I see environment variables, that has been set via "os.environ[]" I use python 3.6 os.environ[] to set/get variables.
My question is - why the Linux command #pritenv does not show these variables?
Here is the example:
[root@server ~ 508]$cat test.py
import os
os.environ['foo'] = 'bar'
print(os.environ['foo'])
[root@server ~ 509]$
[root@server ~ 509]$
[root@server ~ 509]$python3.6 test.py
bar
[root@server ~ 510]$printenv | grep foo
[root@server ~ 511]$ ((nothing))

A: What you're seeing is the result of how processes and environment variables work in Linux (and most other operating systems). Each process inherits environment variables from its parent process, but doesn't (and cannot) impact its parent's environment. Specifically, in your case you have:

*

*sh (or some other shell), with some environment variables (e.g. X, Y, Z).

*

*Python, which creates a new environment variable 'foo', and then dies.

*printenv, which prints all its environment variables, which are the ones it got from its parent - the shell.

A: Environment variables modify the environment of the current process. Here's an example
% echo $SO_EXAMPLE # No value here

% bash # Start a new shell
$ SO_EXAMPLE="something"
$ echo $SO_EXAMPLE # It's available here
something
$ bash # start a new shell
$ echo $SO_EXAMPLE # Nothing here since it was not exported

$ exit # Go back to the parent shell
exit
$ export SO_EXAMPLE #Export the variable
$ bash # Start a new shell
$ echo $SO_EXAMPLE #It's visible here
something
$ exit # Go back to the parent shell
exit
$ exit # Go back to the original shell
exit
% echo $SO_EXAMPLE # Still nothing here. Even if it was exported.

So, even if you modify the environment, your parent environment won't be affected. In your case, the second is a Python process  but the logic is similar.

Gallery: Art Inspired by John Hughes Films
By Jason Bailey
Yesterday we told you about The Great Showdowns , a wonderful new show at the pop culture-infused Gallery 1988. Though the competition is stiff, our favorite of Scott C's movie-inspired paintings may very well be his rendering of the detention kids and Mr. Vernon from The Breakfast Club . That's not all the only treat the gallery has for fans of the late writer/director John Hughes, however. This Friday, their Venice location opens a new exhibit, The Road to Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes, in which 50 artists celebrate the Hughes canon. To the press release: "By reinterpreting his films, characters, icons or style, each artist has created paintings, sculptures, plush or prints – all inspired by one of the best filmmakers of our generation." We've got seven of our favorites after the jump; the exhibit runs from February 11 to March 4.
Rich Pellegrino, Andie, gouache and acrylic on cradled hardboard, 6″ x 6″, inspired by Pretty In Pink
Aaron Jasinski, The Rebirth of Cameron Fry, acrylic on canvas, 20″ x 16″, inspired by Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Derek Deal, You're Going The Wrong Way!, screenprint, 24″ x 18″, inspired by Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Max Dalton, The Ferris Bueller's Day Off Board Game, giclee print on archival paper, 20″ x 16″
Dave Perillo, Actually Making A Girl, giclee print on archival watercolor paper, 10″ x 13″, inspired by Weird Science
N.C. Winters, Dear Mr. Vernon, acrylic on paper, mounted on wood with resin, 13 1/2″ x 20″, inspired by The Breakfast Club
John Rozum, You Sounded Just Like Dirty Harry Just Then, cut paper collage, inspired by Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Did Ding Liren Play The Game Of The Year?
Updated: Nov 5, 2017, 12:59 PM |
Besides all the action at the European Team Championship, some more top grandmasters are active this week, in the Chinese League. Yesterday World Cup runner-up Ding Liren played a mesmerizing game of the kind that you see only once a year.
The Chinese League is a huge event in fact, with 12 teams playing a double round robin between April and December. Usually three or four rounds are organized together, so that players can gather just a few times a year. Some international players are active in the league, such as Vassily Ivanchuk, Ernesto Inarkiev, Dmitry Jakovenko and Dmitry Andreikin.
This week rounds 16, 17 and 18 were played in Tianjin in north-east China. In the match between the city of Shaoxing and the city of Hangzhou, a very special game was played on board one. We've reported several times about Wei Yi brilliancies, but this time it was Shaoxing's Ding Liren who stole the show and played what might well be the Game of the Year.

Four more rounds will be played early December. At the moment the team from Chongqing is leading, ahead of Shanghai and Beijing.
However, before that Ding Liren will be traveling to St. Louis where he will play a rapid and blitz match against Magnus Carlsen, from 11 to 14 November.
Carlsen got to choose an opponent and went for the Chinese GM. The two have trained together before, but only played twice (draws in Wijk aan Zee 2015 and 2016).
This will be one of four matches of the "Champions Showdown." More info about that was posted here. With the game above, one can only look forward even more to that Ding-Carlsen match.
Correction: an earlier version of this article inaccurately stated that the game was played in the match between Zhejiang and Hangzhou.


The monument to the Charter of Navarre (Los Fueros) stands at the eastern end of the Paseo de Sarasate parade. A structure in the form of a cube shaped temple, organised into two bodies, on an exceedingly high pedestal and, finally, the column supporting the female statue, a lost-wax bronze casting. The pentagonal base, constructed in Tafalla stone, features five sets of steps, between which there are chains hanging from small pillars, symbolising the shield of Navarre. Supported on this base is the first body of the monument, constructed with Almándoz stone and featuring, on each of its five sides, a bronze plaque with inscriptions referring to the freedoms of Navarre. Three of these inscriptions are written in Spanish, the fourth in Basque and the last is also in Basque but with characters that are supposedly Iberian and difficult to understand. At each angle of this pentagonal body, on the column capitals, there is a seated statue carved in Angouleme stone, representing five allegories: History, Justice, Autonomy, Peace and Work, all with their corresponding attributes. History, personified by the muse Kleio, as a symbol of knowledge and culture. Justice is shown as a woman with a sword between her hands. Autonomy or Self-government is symbolised by a winged angel taking the helm. Peace is represented by a woman with an olive branch, holding a little bird against her breast, a bird considered in times of old to be a symbol of peace and tranquillity, given the fact that during the time spent building its nest, all winds and storms disappeared completely. Finally, Work is represented by a blacksmith, carrying a hammer resting on a steel anvil. The second body, rising out of the first one, is also pentagonal in shape and is of white stone with small columns of Aizcorbe red marble topped with bronze capitals. There are a number of coats of arms on the monument sides: those of Navarre and Pamplona, with the monogram of Christ underneath, the symbol of the Christian religion; the shields of the other historical administrative and legal districts of the Kingdom of Navarre: Tudela, Olite, Sangüesa and Estella.
Installation: 1903 (Pending unveiling). Paseo de Sarasate parade.

Q: Problema para mostrar datos desde mysql a modal con jsp y bootstrap Tengo un problema para mostrar datos desde mysql en un modal con jsp y bootstrap
para invocar el modal , tengo un botón de tipo button, que es el que abre el modal, y en el modal, llegan datos desde la base de datos mysql.
El problema es que al presionar el botón para abrir el modal, el modal se visualizar solo su barra superior donde esta el titulo del modal,pero no muestra el cuerpo del modal , a menos que cambie el tipo de botón a submit, y despues a button nuevamente y al volver ejecutar el modal se muestra, pero solo temporalmente, ay que cuando se cierra la aplicación y se vuelve a ejecutar, vuelve a pasar el mismo problema.
