Blackness Castle stands on an outcrop of rock at the seaward end of a promontory formerly bounded on the S by a sea marsh. Owing to the nature of the site the plan (see RCAHMS 1929 plan,fig.226), it closely resembles a ship.
Access to the buildings is obtained through a doorway fitted with an iron yett and a passage under the early 17th century spur. This spur was heightened at its S end in 1693 and is surmounted by a gun platform.
The massive S or 'stern' tower was built in the 16th century and repaired in 1667. A kitchen and vaulted gun-chambers occupy the lower storeys and on the second floor is a large hall.
The enclosing or barmkin walls, also of 16th century date, were strengthened internally in the 17th century giving sufficient width for a gun platform on the E. Lean-to buildings, including barracks, stables and brewhouse, were erected against the walls but have since disappeared.
The oldest part of the castle is the tower in the centre of the courtyard, dating from the 15th century. A turnpike was added at the NE corner in 1667 when the tower was to be used as a prison for Covenanters.
Immediately outside is a draw-well cut through the rock.
The little bastion at the N end of the site, formerly the 'stem' tower, was reduced in 1693 and is now sur- mounted by a gun platform with two vaulted chambers below. Beneath the tower chamber is a pit-prison.
A small garrison occupied Blackness during the 18th century and in the 19th century it was a magazine for powder and stores.
Since coming under guardianship, the modern masonry has been removed and the castle restored to its 17th century outline.

Material from Blackness Castle has been donated to the NMAS by the DoE. NMAS 1976-7.
An archaeological excavation and watching brief were supervised by D Reed of Scotia Archaeology Limited over a seven day period between 26th October and 5th November 1992 in advance of extension of services.
A watching brief was kept by Scotia Archaeology Limited during the excavation by HS' DEL squad of shallow service trenches adjacent to and within the two towers of the castle. Nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered during this operation.
The castle is located on a rocky promontory to the east of Blackness village. It is under the care of Historic Scotland with full time resident custodian.
NT 0556 8027 A narrow trench was opened by Kirkdale Archaeology within the courtyard of the castle in advance of the insertion of an electrical cable. The excavations showed that a considerable depth of deposits survived in the area between the central tower and the W curtain wall ? the only material left in the whole courtyard.
NT 0556 8027 Digging of foundations for a set of steps and a disabled access ramp to the sea gate in the NW of the castle was monitored. Excavation of a trench running along the inside (E) of the curtain wall revealed demolition, levelling or construction deposits, and one possible area of undisturbed archaeology.
NT 053 801 A cable trench was excavated less than 500m from the entrance to Blackness Castle. The site lies within the Scheduled area of Blackness Castle, initially built in the 15th century to protect the sea port at Blackness.
The watching brief in January 2001 demonstrated that no archaeologically significant remains were disturbed. This area of Castle Road consists of made-up land revetted by the sea wall to the N. Any archaeological remains in the immediate vicinity would either lie on natural subsoil below the road make-up material, or would have been destroyed by the construction of the road itself.
Report to be lodged with the NMRS.
NT 055 801 A small trench was excavated in October 2001 immediately to the W of the Spur at Blackness Castle (NT08SE 6.00). This was to assess the archaeological implications of new access plans for visitors. About 10cm depth of modern path was removed to reveal an earlier cobbled surface and drain in the lower E end of the trench, immediately outside the doorway. Nothing of archaeological importance was found at the W end, where for the most part the modern path had been laid directly onto bedrock. The cobbles and drain were retained in situ.

Blackness Castle stands on a rocky promontery on the shore of the Forth, in the East part of Carriden Parish, Linlithgowshire, and is in the charge of the Commissioners of H.M. Works. According to the Gazetteers of Scotland.
Blackness was in its time the Port of Linlithgow, and the Castle was one of the four fortresses agreed by the Act of Union to be kept up in Scotland as a chain of forts for the defence of the Lowlanders against Highland aggression.
In 1807 - 74 it was made the base for extensive works to serve as the central ammunition depot of Scoland, the works costing, it is said, considerably more than (pounds)10,000, and comprising a powder magazine; a light iron-girder pier; a sea-wall 1000 feet long; storage places for guns and munitions of war; besides barracks to accommodate 30 men and a 2-storey building in the 'Scottish Baronial' style for officers.

This small dour fortress occupies the tip of a promontory jutting out into the Forth and was designed to protect the port of Blackness which served as the harbour for the major late medieval royal centre at Linlithgow. Despite a long life as a stronghold, prison and ammunition dump, involving frequent rebuilding and strengthening of the fabric, the castle still retains important features from most of its major phases, and it serves as an excellent example of the development offortifications from the mid-15th to late 19th centuries.
The earliest castle was built in the 1440s and comprised a ditch drawn across the neck of the promontory behind which there was a curtain wall surrounding a freestanding square tower, with a hall built against the south curtain wall. Much of this early fabnc survIVes, although it has been masked by later additions. The ditch has been cleared out as part of the 20th century restoration, and sections of the early crenellations can be seen fossilised halfway up the south tower. The primary function of the castle may have been defensive, but, like many other castles, Blackness served as a prison and the earliest historical reference to the castle, in 1449, records its use as a state prison. The castle continued to be used as a prison for the following 250 years, Cardinal Beaton, who was incarcerated there for about a month in 1543, being its most renowned prisoner.
Between 1537-42 the castle underwent a major programme of rebuilding in order to take account of the growing importance of artillery both in terms of defence and attack. This meant the provision of gunholes and the massive thickening of the walls to withstand bombardment. At the same time the hall was heightened and took on the form of a tower in which it survives today. The remodelling of the castle was undertaken by Sir James Hamilton ofFinnart, whose own castle at Craignethan (no. 32), built in the 1530s, exhibited similar innovations in the art of defence. Further stengthening occured between 1542 and 1567 with the addition of a spur on the west guarding the newly positioned entrance. The castle was besieged by Cromwell's army in 1650, and subsequent repairs to the south wall of the south tower can be seen as a patch of white stonework on the lower right of ilie tower.
In the 1870s the castle was converted to an ammunition store; the courtyard was covered, a castiron jetty built, and barracks erected outside the castle. After the fortress was handed over to the then Office of Works in 1912, most of these encumbrances were removed and the castle-was restored to its present condition.
NT 0556 8027. A brief excavation was carried out by Kirkdale Archaeology in April 1996 to examine an area W of the main tower, where a 16th-century guardhouse once stood. This structure had apparently been demolished to put in an entrance through the N curtain wall, giving access to the Firth of Forth. The surviving masonry of the guardhouse consisted of the S wall, which still forms the entrance-way into the inner courtyard, and a low (200mm) remnant of the E wall. The N wall was absent, while the NW wall remains as the main outer wall of the fort.
It was revealed that the N and E walls of the guardhouse had been completely demolished in order to allow access to the drawbridge. The S wall was left, to overlook the entrance to the gateway. At a later date, perhaps as part of a landscaping programme, the E wall was restored, with reused blocks. No other traces of masonry relating to the guardhouse were identified.
Kirkdale Archaeology, under contract with Historic Scotland, excavated a cable route into the castle from a drain outlet in the W curtain wall below the drawbridge, around the N and E of the remains of the Guard House wall to an existing electrical duct on the E side of this wall. This would cross the area excavated by David Stewart for Kirkdale Archaeology in April 1996 at the N end of the visible length of the E wall of the guard house. Once the mouth of the drain on the inner face of the curtain wall was uncovered, the cable trench was required to be no more than 150 mm deep and 300 mm wide. The excavations showed that a considerable depth of deposits survived in the area between the central tower and the W curtain wall the only material left in the whole courtyard.
Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 24th February 1996..
Kirkdale Archaeology were contracted to monitor the digging of foundations for a set of steps and a disabled access ramp to the sea gate in the NW of the castle. This was to provide access to the existing pier beyond this gate.
Excavation was undertaken by hand within an odd shaped trench approximately 8.50 m long, roughly N-S, running along the inside (E) of the curtain wall. The trench averaged 40 cm wide and was a maximum of 30 cm deep.
Disturbed ground was found over the whole area, mostly a loose light grey silt with mortar (chunks and flecks), stone and brick being very common, and with some shell, bone, glass etc. throughout. A plastic pipe was noted at the extreme N end of the trench. For the final 170 cm of the S end of the E 'fork' of the trench was a deposit of crushed yellow sandstone, with some larger chunks throughout. This deposit may represent the only undisturbed archaeology located. It lay some 10 cm below modern ground level.
NT 055 801 A small trench was excavated in October 2001 immediately to the W of the Spur at Blackness Castle. This was to assess the archaeological implications of new access plans for visitors. About 10cm depth of modern path was removed to reveal an earlier cobbled surface and drain in the lower E end of the trench, immediately outside the doorway. Nothing of archaeological importance was found at the W end, where for the most part the modern path had been laid directly onto bedrock. The cobbles and drain were retained in situ.
NT 0552 8006 A watching brief was carried out on 26 April 2012 during the excavation of a small trench close to Blackness Castle, to house a stone plinth for a new interpretation panel. The flat expanse of grass that the trench was dug through is level with the top of the sea wall, a feature that appears quite recent. This area of grass was doubtless landscaped when the wall was built.
NT 0550 8020 A watching brief was carried out 15–17 February 2012 during the excavation of a series of eight trenches designed to hold collapsible bollards. The 0.3m deep trenches, aligned cNW–SE across the access road within the gateway at Blackness Castle, contained no features of archaeological significance. Traffic and successive dumps of aggregate have created a very solid surface over a shallow demolition horizon. The latter derives from a stone and brick structure, which lay between the present shop and the parapet wall. This structure was demolished in the late 20th century to allow car parking and easier visitor access. A flooring deposit of laid bricks from the building was found and it is likely that more of the building footprint extends across the present access road.
A watching brief was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd just outside of the Scheduled Monument of Blackness Castle (NT 0534 8007) as part of the Minor Archaeological Services Call Off Contract, during the installation of a new gate. The work involved the excavation of two small trenches for the gate posts.

A hubs... who... who... yeah. No words. Sorry Sam.
Feel free to add your own list. Love to you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
My revisions are in. They're in!
To celebrate, I'm going up to a condo in Midway for a writing retreat this weekend. And guess what I'm going to do on that retreat?
Total words added: Um... 20,000. Please don't tell my editor. Pretty please.
Strangest Google search for revisions: "4 syllable names that start with P"
Second strangest Google search: "Different ways to describe the shape of a knife wound"
Third strangest Google search: "Does anyone want to write a slam-bang finish for my book? Anyone?"
Favorite line from my book (today, at least): "There are no heroes. And if there were, I wouldn't be one of them."
Second favorite line from the book: "Nothing says 'I'm sorry' like a tea cozy."
Third favorite line: "They expected me to wear pants!"
Best part about revising: Friends bring you treats!
Worst part about revising: The smell.
So, now I plan on relaxing for a moment. I'm going to Midway with my writers group, where cinnamon bears will be eaten and Diet Coke will be mainlined.
What are all y'all's plans for this weekend? Anyone leaving town for Thanksgiving?
This door-to-door salesman appeared on my front porch wearing a turban and a shalwar kameez. He was selling machine guns. He had one in his hands, and asked me if it was okay if he did a demonstration.
The last thing I wanted to do was to give this salesman the impression that I was scared. I would never make assumptions based solely on the fact that he was wearing a turban. Some of my best friends in Pakistan wear turbans and shalwar kameez. I didn't want to be accused of racial (or religious) profiling. I wanted to act just like I'd act if a Catholic or a Baptist was at my door, brandishing a gun for sale.
So I said, sure. Please commence with the demonstration.
He loaded the gun, pointed it at my house, and - swiveling back and forth - proceeded to riddle my house with bullets. As the kicker to the demonstration, he shot me in my leg.
"Do you see how the bullet lodged in your bone, instead of going through and through?"
I nodded, trying not to cry.
"It's amazing isn't it? And that's not even full strength! That bullet was diluted 10 to 1."
"Wow," I grunted, as I hobbled over for my checkbook.
"That's not all." The salesman then pulled out two hand grenades. "Check this out." He removed the pins out and through them over my roof and into my back yard.
We listened for a few moments.
"You're expecting a big boom, right? Am I right??" The salesman said, excited.
"Well that's the beauty of these babies. You never know when they're going to explode!"
"I'll take two," I said, although at this point it was more like a whimper.
So, dear blog readers... what does it mean?
And I will say this: writers often complain of insomnia, but sometimes isn't it really a blessing?
Hey y'all. We're on the home stretch for edits. They're due this Friday, and I'll warn you now... blogging may or may not happen this week. And if it does, it may or may not sound crazy.
"Pick me! I wanna be a leper! Me! Me!"
"Query hooks should be equal parts desirable and unique. A paranormal romance where the main character falls for a supernatural creature? Desirable, but not unique. A story about a child serial killer? Unique, but not desirable. Make it both."
"Mormons are lucky they don't drink. They wake up in the morning and they know that how they feel at that moment is the best they're going to feel all day."
"Voice [in writing] can't be taught. But it can be cultivated, like a garden."
"If you want to keep something secret, put it in the instructor handbook."
"It's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is with a poor one."
-Shouted from Kid C to the waiting room as we were leaving the doctor's office after receiving our flu shots.
So, what did you overhear this weekend? And how is everybody doing?
I'm back! Thanks for making Sam feel so welcome on Monday. He's filled in on the blog three times now, and so far he's 3 for 3 on using the word "metrosexy". Because that's the mark of people who are metrosexy- they have to remind you a lot.
I think he's totally metrosexy, in a fluffy, squidgy kind of way.
As Sam told you, I spent the last two days up in the mountains of Midway, UT, to do some revising. I took the trip because I was getting a little lost in my book - Alice down the rabbit hole kind of lost - so I decided to make a road map of it using post-it notes.
If you'll follow me please... The book starts in the upper-left hand corner, and goes down column by column. As you can see the notes are color-coded.
Readers are bound to get bored of the MC only eating pizza. They'll be all, "Hey! What happened to those cool little blue post-its? And I haven't seen a green one in ages. Flash me somewhere! Beam me up, Snotty!"
Imagine if the pizza delivery guy came, and all the toppings were piled on 3 slices. We'd never stand for it. We demand our toppings to be sprinkled evenly throughout!
Okay, to address the elephant in the room, does anyone have any spare pizza? Seriously. Apparently I'm starving.
With my book made up of post-it notes, it was easy to put all the notes together, shuffle them like a deck of cards, and divvy them out evenly. The book doesn't make sense anymore, but according to the color wheel, it's pleasing to the eyes.
Bottles of Diet Coke are, on average, one or two fingers too big for a single serving.
Somebody do something. There are people in the world who don't have access to Diet Coke, and here I am wasting two-fingers worth with every serving.
It's okay, though. I pooled the leftovers, and I'm using it to plant a tree in Brooklyn.
So, what do you think of the book? And how are you NaNoWriMo-ers doing? And is anyone else craving pizza?
Hey y'all. We're exactly 2 weeks until Total Global Meltdown (i.e. revision deadline) and I'm warning you now my blog posts might be sporadic with a side of crazy.
Length of book as it stands today: 77,000 words.
So, we're headed in the right direction.
Number of times a character flinches: From 579 down to 7.
So, I guess I should get going. But first, the news!
No, wait, scratch that. I mean Global. EVERNEATH has gone global! Parlez Vous Francais? I don't, but somebody out there does, and that somebody is going to bring my book to the French People!
French rights to Brodi Ashton's EVERNEATH, to Milan, in a three-book deal, by Eliane Benisti at Eliane Benisti Agency on behalf of Lauren Abramo at Dystel & Goderich Literary Management.
Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi, Ce Soir! Which means, a book for every child in France!
It's Wednesday, yo. 16 days until my revision deadline. Don't remind me. Seriously, why'd you even bring it up? Stop Judging me!! Gah!!!
1. A week ago Monday, I created a weekly blog feature: Questions from the Question-Maker.
And then last Monday? Totally forgot. So I guess it's not a weekly feature yet. Looks like I'll need to tweak it a bit. Maybe I'll take the issue up with the little man behind the curtain of the blog. (He's sort of a cross between the Wizard of Oz and an Ooompa Loompa).
1. Pay attention to your tics.
This time around, all of my characters flinch. A lot.
Someone looks at them funny, they flinch.
Someone says something mean, they flinch.
A gust of wind approaches, they flinch.
They find out the end of the world is near, they flinch.
My book is full of a bunch of people with nervous tics. Not that there's anything wrong with nervous tics. Some of my best friends (including me) have adorable nervous tics.
But when every single character is clocking in at about 20 flinches per second, it's bound to resemble a scene out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
The funny thing is, I never noticed the pattern until this last round of revision, and my editor politely made note of it. After she pointed it out, I flinched, and then I was all, "How did I not see this before? It's atrocious!"
2. The world in my head often doesn't make it onto the paper.
Someone once told me that if the reader has all the answers at the beginning, he won't want to keep reading.
I think I took this piece of advice to the extreme, to the point where I didn't even have a clue what was going on.
Fictional editor (not my editor): "Um, this section makes me think there's a key, somewhere, that will unlock the treasure."
And I'm all: "Duh, of course there's a key. It was hidden on the earth like a century ago, in a cave in the Andes mountains. That's like the crux of the book."
fictional editor: "Where is this information in the book?"
me: "Silly editor. That all happened before the book begins. I don't want to waste my time with backstory."
fictional editor (with a sigh): "So how is the reader supposed to know about it?"
me: "I'm beginning to see your point... I'd just hate to spoon-feed every detail to the reader."
fictional editor: "Then perhaps you'd rather just give the readers the title of the book, and tell them to figure out the story."
me: "Fine. I'll tell them there's a key. But I'm keeping mum on the dragon that lives below the school."
fictional editor: "Good, because this isn't a fantasy."
*The above conversation is completely made up. There is no key in my book. And of course there's no such thing as the Andes Mountain range.
Are any of you revising? What have you learned along the way?
Anywho, he was diagnosed exactly 3 years ago on Halloween. Yeah, that Halloween really sucked. We found out after we'd already dressed up in our costumes, so I remember that year as a bunch of people in costumes, sitting on my sister's porch, balling our guts out. Even the clown was crying.
My Dad is currently beating the disease, but every few months the doctors test his blood for signs of recurrence. Last Halloween, we had a scare. Again, it was the costumes and the crying. This Halloween, we had another scare. And again, the costumes and the crying.
Halloween has become this day where we're dressing our kids up as ghosts and ghouls, all the while crying about the really scary things in life.
Thankfully, we just found out his tumor marker went back down again. I don't know what it is about Halloween that makes his blood go all wonky, but it's getting to the point where I just want to skip October completely.
Since that's not possible, here are some pics from our Halloween. Really, we were mostly happy!
Who knew Darth Vader could look so harmless?
The formidable duo of Kid C and Kid B. Tell me that wouldn't scare you to open your door to find these two on your front porch, demanding candy.
Kid C: "He's a chicken. With magnets."
Kid C (exasperated): "A Chicken! He's a magnetic Chicken!!"
So, when I finally saw the costume, it all made sense.
The trick-or-treating gang. My favorite is the Grim Reaper, standing off to the side, contemplating the best way to decapitate the group with one swing of his scythe.
It also reminds me of a joke: "Okay, so Mario, Luigi, Darth Vader, a couple of ninjas and the Grim Reaper all walk into a bar..."
While we were waiting for Kid B's parade to start, Kid C sat in the middle of the floor, breathing in an out loudly through his nose.
He said he was doing Yoda to calm himself.
His teacher's from India, and she teaches them the Yoda from her home country.
How was all y'all's Halloween? Do you have the same traditions as we do? i.e., Do you sit around on a random porch, all dressed up and balling your guts out?

On Saturday July 2nd, 2016, a session for the General Public entitled "Cordes & Maths" ("Mathematics of Superstrings") is organized at Collège de France, in collaboration with the séminaire Poincaré and the Clay Mathematics Institute.
Some of the most distinguished contributors in the areas of High Energy Theory and Mathematics will try to convey their excitement about outstanding challenges, recent achievements and prospects for the future of our understanding of mathematical structures in Nature.
The session is open to everyone, no registration is required. No familiarity with advanced concepts in physics or mathematics will be assumed (at least for a large part of each talk).
Programme / Schedule:
10h00: Hirosi Ooguri (Caltech and IPMU): "What is gravity ?"
After two years in the graduate school at Kyoto University, Ooguri became a tenured faculty member at the University of Tokyo. He then became a research associate at the Institute for Advanced Study and was awarded his Ph.D. from Tokyo in 1989. In 1994, he was appointed as a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and stayed there until 2000, when he became a professor at California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Currently, Ooguri is the Fred Kavli Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics and the Director of the Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics at Caltech. He is also a Principal Investigator of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe at the University of Tokyo. Ooguri has received numerous awards and honors including the Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics from the American Mathematical Society, the Humboldt Research Award, and the Nishina Memorial Prize. He is a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Simons Investigator, and a Trustee of the Aspen Center for Physics. Ooguri is active in science outreach; his four popular science books have been sold over a quarter of a million copies in Japan and his book on Superstring Theory was selected for the 2014 Kodansha Prize for Science Books. He is a contributing writer for Asahi Shimbun, a leading national newspaper in Japan, and has a monthly column on science on a business magazine. He served as a science adviser to the 3D dome theater movie "The Man from the 9 Dimensions," which debuted in Tokyo this April.
11h15: Andrei Okounkov (Columbia University): "Catching monodromy"
Andrei Okounkov studied at the Moscow State University, from which he received his bachelor degree and his doctorate in mathematics (1995). He taught at University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, and Princeton University and is currently Samuel Eilenberg Professor of Mathematics at Columbia University. Andrei is a recipient of the Sloan Research Fellowship (2000), a Packard Fellowship (2001), the European Mathematical Society Prize (2004), the Fields Medal (2006), and the Compositio Prize (2010).

CANCELLED: Nigel Hitchin (Oxford) : "Geometry and Physics: Past and Future"
Nigel Hitchin studied Mathematics at Jesus College, Oxford, obtaining his BA in 1968. He subsequently gained a D.Phil and continued research with Michael Atiyah at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton until 1973. After a year at New York University, he returned to a Research Fellowship in Oxford and in 1977 played a key role with Atiyah and Singer in showing how the physicists' "instantons" could be constructed mathematically. This formative experience of using pure mathematics at the interface with physics governed much of his future research, involving differential and algebraic geometry in a variety of contexts. In 1979 he became Tutor in Mathematics at St. Catherine's College, Oxford and in 1990 was appointed Professor at Warwick. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1991 and was President of the London Mathematical Society from 1994-96. In 1994 he was elected to the Rouse Ball Chair in Cambridge, but then in 1997 accepted the offer of the Savilian Professorship of Geometry in Oxford, where he remains. Nigel Hitchin has won the Whitehead, Berwick and Polya prizes of the London Mathematical Society and the Sylvester Medal of the Royal Society and was recently awarded the 2016 Shaw Prize for Mathematics. He is frequently called upon to give named lectures in the USA, Europe and Asia and has served on numerous committees both national and international.
Unfortunately Prof. Hitchin had to cancel this engagement for personal reasons.

Can geo-tracking really be effective on a voluntary basis?
14 Apr 2020 Massimo Mangia
The "Italian way" to the tracking of movements and contacts seems to have to reconcile respect for privacy and self-determination of people. Is it really possible to conciliate all these aspects?
Tracking the position of people can serve two distinct purposes:
check whether the person complies with the social distancing and movement restriction rules ('police health')
identify the persons with whom contact has taken place or the places they have frequented ('epidemiological inquiries').
The first case, in turn, may concern a community, such as allowing Google to do with its mobility report, or an individual, for example, to check whether or not it has complied with the rules in force. If for the first aspect a significant percentage of people adhering is enough to understand the current trend, for the second it is necessary that the person voluntarily activates geo-location and agrees to be tracked. I do not think this is the case for those who are more reluctant to stay at home and observe the rules.
The second objective, i.e. to facilitate the task of the prevention and epidemiology services in reconstructing the contacts and the path of an infected person, is highly dependent on the number of people who agree to trace their movements. If an individual decides to download an app and activate geo-location, the tracking could indicate the places where he or she was in the previous days; in order to associate the places to the people, with the exception of the staff working there, it is necessary that other people have in turn installed and activated the app.
The voluntary choice of whether or not to activate an app can, therefore, have a significant impact on the overall effectiveness of the system. In some countries, where both for political reasons and for people's civic sense, it was decided to put health protection before any consideration of privacy and personal freedom, the choice was clear.
In Italy, as well as in other European countries, the discussion on how to use these technologies is open, and the orientation seems to go in the direction of voluntariness.
It should be noted, however, that in order to counter the spread of the epidemic in Italy and other countries it was decided to apply a lockdown to the entire population, effectively limiting personal freedom (Articles 13 and 16 of the Constitution of the Italian Republic).
Now the question is why it was decided, without much discussion, to keep people at home (a measure that I share) and there is such reluctance to allow them to go out and track their movements for a limited period?
Then there is another important consideration to be made. All these forms of tracking require a smartphone and a minimum of practice in their use (e.g. having an account on an app store, being able to download an app, etc.). We know that there are many people who do not own a smartphone or do not know how to use it well. Many of them are elderly, but not only, but they are also often fragile or at risk.
What are we going to do with them?

Pumpkins, witches, and ghosts, oh my! Halloween can be a great time to dress up as a person you're not and indulge in unhealthy sweets, but it's also the perfect time to turn off the lights and scare yourself with a spooky game. Here are a few of our favorites to tingle our spines and chill our bones.
Let us know in the comments if any of your favorite scary games made the cut. Or the stab. Or the slash. Or the- okay we're getting to the list now.
"Uh, I thought you said this is a list of spooky games?" a disembodied voice calls out to me. Yes. Yes, I did say that. But I promise you, I'm not trolling. By now, many people know the horrors that lie below the saccharine sweet surface of this cutesy visual novel about a book club. But if you have no idea why I still shudder at the prospect of writing poetry to woo a potential lover, than you are quite fortunate. Doki Doki Literature Club is not what it seems, and keeps up its smiling facade for a solid portion of the game. When that smile starts to look more and more like a crazed glare, you'll know that you're getting more than you bargained for.
Overall, the less said about the game the better, but since this is a list of horror games and you see this game is listed, you want to know why. Right from the beginning, the game warns you about disturbing content. Is is gory? Is it filled with jumpscares? Do the characters solely indulge in reading Stephen King novels? In actuality, the horror is much more on the psychological side of things. The fact that so much of the story works on its own merits serves the double purpose of luring you into a false sense of security. Once things go horribly awry, a lot of the horror comes from how out of place it all seems. If you go into a horror movie you expect to get scared, but if you go into a wholesome slice of life high school story and things take a dark turn? That's terrifying. Much like the famous Eterntal Darkness, the game tries to trick you into thinking there's something wrong with it, and that you're playing it incorrectly. But the more things seemingly go awry, the more Doki Doki Literature Club tightens the noose on its place on this list.
I'm going to have to go with a classic here. Sure, Doom 3, at the time, was touted as having advanced graphics that would push the boundaries of PC gaming… except all of that was hidden in complete and total darkness! However, despite seeing 99% shadows for the majority of the game, drawing ire from critics and fans alike, Doom 3 still gave you that haunting atmosphere. Going down a hallway only to see satanic runes skitter across the walls and floor coupled with satanic whispers caught you off guard. Plus, you had no idea where enemies were spawning! One moment you were trying to traverse a room, the next, you have a demon leaping at your face with just enough time to react! While it's not a typical "scary" game, it still gave me a few jumps here and there.
While Doom 3 wasn't the most memorable in the series, the darker atmosphere did make it stand out… either for good or bad reasons! I mean, the only thing scarier in the Doom series is watching Polygon play the reboot.
You don't mess with a classic, and if there's any genre-defining horror games, it's the amazing Silent Hill 2. Sure, in the years that have passed, the animation is a little choppy and the acting is…well it wouldn't win an Oscar, But more that, this game is creepy to the max, with the monster designs evoking a dark and forbidding nature, and the clever fog mechanism that keeps the player on the edge of their seat the whole time. And the depth of the plot is enough to keep you thinking for decades, and every twists in the story makes you fall in love with it a little more. I mean I literally presented a whole paper about this game at a conference, in front of a guy who wrote a whole book on it. For real, video game studies is legit.
If you've never picked up this title, you need to as soon as you can. There's a new remastered version that lets you relive that dark magic and experience the haunting tragedy of James, one that all begins with a letter from his long-dead wife. Be prepared to be scared with this oldie but a goodie.
Is this even a question? My favorite scary game? Well, for starters this is a very small list because I ain't afraid of no video game. However, there have been a few games that did manage to make me jump out of my chair (briefly). At the top of that list is Dead Space. While Resident Evil was my first horror survival game, it wasn't until Dead Space came along that took everything that that series did, tossed in better combat while locking you into a super huge space ship called the USG Ishimura. Did I mention that there's a whole slew of creatures that are hell-bent on killing you, a lowly engineer who's never seen a gun in his life. Tons of jump scares, lots of places to explore, an upgrade system that let you upgrade your weapons and suits and nothing but your wits. Easily one of my favorite survival horror games of all time. And while I feel that the follow-up, Dead Space 2 was a bit better. The first game will also hold a special place in my demented gaming heart. Oh, screw the 3rd game. Can we pretend that it didn't even exist?
Sadly, since EA shuttered the development studio behind the game, Visceral Games and that Dead Space 3 didn't sell well. In the end, an amazing sci-fi horror survival game is basically, dead in the water. A sad end, indeed.
Frictional Games made a name for themselves in the horror genre with Amnesia: The Dark Descent in 2010. Unfortunately, their follow-up sci-fi horror game Soma did not get the same level of attention, which really is a shame, as Soma is one of the most original horror games and pieces of storytelling in the medium. Simon Jarrett undergoes an experimental brain surgery in the year 2015, but wakes up nearly 100 years later in an underwater research facility overrun by monsters. Simon communicates remotely with a mysterious woman named Catherine as he tries to piece together what happened. There are some tense moments in Soma as the it relies heavily on stealth gameplay mechanics and avoiding the mutated creatures that populate the facility. However, the real horror lies in the questions that Soma asks the player, dealing with where the boundaries between consciousness, humanity, and machine begin and end. I can't say too much about the game without spoiling it, but I can say that Soma made me deeply uncomfortable on an existential level in a way that no other game has.
Sufficiently spooked yet? Let us know if you pick up any of these games over the next couple days. We hope you have an extra frightful Halloween!

Hulu's New Reality Show Has Charli And Dixie D'Amelio Fans Excited
It looks like the D'Amelios will be "renegading" themselves all the way to Hulu. It was announced on Friday that Charli and Dixie D'Amelio, along with their parents, are set to star in their very own eight-episode docuseries that will premiere on the streaming site in 2021 (via ET Online). The D'Amelio Show will focus on TikTok dancer Charli and her family navigating "their nearly overnight fame" and new life in Los Angeles (via New York Post).
If you're on TikTok, it's hard to avoid Charli, who just reached over 100 million followers in November — she's the first influencer to do so, according to People. Charli tweeted her excitement about the milestone, saying, "IS THIS REAL LIFE RIGHT NOW." Though Charli isn't the only one making waves: Her older sister, Dixie, just released her second single "One Whole Day" featuring Wiz Khalifa (via Seventeen). She also has a YouTube channel with close to 7 million subscribers, and an impressive 46 million followers on TikTok, as well. With the entire D'Amelio crew killing it, it just makes sense that a TV show would be the next step.
The Hulu show will follow 'the first family of TikTok'
The new show will go beyond just TikTok dances and YouTube videos. According to the press release, the show will follow "the first family of TikTok" as they deal with their new level of fame (via Variety). Like all reality television, you can expect a little drama here and there. The D'Amelios aren't new to making headlines. Both Charli and Dixie were recently criticized for being "rude" after a video was released of them not enjoying their dinner, which was prepared by personal chef Aaron May (via Today).
After the incident, Charli lost almost a million followers over night, and went to social media to apologize in a live stream where she said, "I feel like it was all just one huge misunderstanding and, like, I'm sorry, but I think it's become completely blown out of proportion." Just like the way trends on TikTok are over before you know it, the backlash has now died down, but you never know what will happen next. You'll just have to wait and see when The D'Amelio Show premieres on Hulu next year, and until then, there's always TikTok to scroll through.

The word "empowerment" has been getting a lot of air time lately. It's become an easy term to get behind. But, if you ask me, it's lost some of its luster recently. It's easy to say you support empowerment without having to step up and do something differently.
As a CEO of a branding and marketing firm, I've seen empowerment work at all levels. I believe in it. I've even benefited from it, personally. And I would guess many other female executives would say the same. So why is such a great concept, that many people believe in, not making the impact that it could?
Brand Challenge: Continue to get people on board, but drive more action. Make it more about empowering people. Make it resonate with people on a personal level, in a way that makes them change behavior.
How to Accomplish: Get to the heart of the matter. Show how empowerment can benefit leaders, in the most impactful way possible.
Recommended Positioning: Empowerment = invest in your people so you can confidently release power and seize success.
The idea of pouring into those around you by providing support and being collaborative makes sense and is hard to argue against. However, let's be honest with ourselves: we invest in our people, but we don't follow through on releasing power.
Here's an example: a female leader is on the right track to empowering her people. She sets up mentorships, so they can learn to be empowered. She emails around articles, so they can read about being empowered. She speaks on panels, so they can hear about being empowered. But, this leader falls short of the truly impactful move: she continues to hold control. And by keeping control, her employees won't believe in themselves or take chances.
And THAT is the key to empowerment: Making your people believe in themselves enough to take chances.
Behavior: Be kind to everyone. Ask questions. Listen. Talk up your teammates. Always use "we" when presenting. Encourage others' ideas.
Behavior: Be kind to everyone. Ask questions. Listen. Invest in your team. Give them opportunities to take on new and challenging assignments. Your team will be more motivated to accomplish the goals you set if you are helping them achieve the goals they set. And don't forget to recognize and reward those who take chances and succeed!
Result: You'll be sought out by people below you and counted on by people above you. Before you know it, you'll have more responsibility and a new position.
Behavior: Be kind to everyone. Ask questions. Listen. Communicate a clear vision for the company, and live it yourself. Check in regularly with your teams to make sure decision-making is happening on the lowest possible levels. Make sure you practice what you preach: give your management team the opportunity to step out and take chances with new ideas, new projects, and new responsibilities.
Result: Your people will like coming to work. They will work hard to accomplish your goals. Success will be yours and your teams.
The true business of empowerment will help us, our teams, and our organizations achieve amazing things. But to achieve these great outcomes, we must do more than talk about empowerment; we need to enable empowerment by letting those around us have the opportunity to take control!

Marelli, Ercole
Name: Marelli, Ercole
Birth: May 19, 1867 Milano
Death: August 28, 1922 Tremezzina
Ercole Marelli began working at the age of 15 as an apprentice at a mechanical workshop. After a period in Paraguay, he returned to Italy in 1891 and founded a workshop of electrical appliances in Milan, where he manufactured batteries, accumulators and electro-medical devices. In December 1905, Marelli opened a plant in Sesto San Giovanni (Milan), the Ercole Marelli, which would obtain prominent exhibition space in the Galleria dell'Elettricita' in Turin 1911. This plant produced small electric motors, centrifugal pumps, and transformers.
In 1915, the "Società Anonima Ercole Marelli" was created, with the first Italian experiments in the fields of magnets, which were patented in 1917-18.
In 1919 Ercole Marelli created a new production department of automobile magnets, which later became in turn the company Magneti Marelli.

Strategically placed at the gateway to the Italian peninsula, Milan and the surrounding region of Lombardy have been the subject of constant disputes over the centuries. Celts, Romans, Goths, Lombards, Spaniards and Austrians have all ruled the city at some stage of its history and for the most part, the city has capitalised on its position and has emerged today as the undisputed economic and cultural powerhouse of a united Italy.

Taking care of your teeth is extremely important. JustSmiles suggests, "Annual dental exams and having good oral hygiene essential to ensure your teeth, gums, and mouth are healthy".
Gum disease can lead to other, more serious illnesses, so be sure to take your oral hygiene seriously. Aside from brushing, flossing and seeing your dentist, you can also take good care of your teeth by eating certain foods. There are certain foods that are good for your teeth. These foods can help to strengthen your teeth or make them more attractive in appearance. Check out some of the foods that are good for your teeth, and start adding them to your diet today.
Salmon is a great source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential because it helps your body absorb and use calcium, and calcium helps to strengthen your teeth. By eating salmon, and partnering this dish with foods that are high in calcium, you will help your teeth absorb the nutrient they need to stay strong and healthy throughout most of your life.
Strawberries contain a good amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to produce collagen, and collagen is essential for the strength and health of your gums. By eating strawberries, you will help ensure that your gums remain strong and intact, which can help them fight off gum disease and other illnesses that can negatively affect your oral health.
Strawberries are also great for whitening your teeth. Strawberries contain malic acid, and this can be used to whiten your tooth enamel. If you're ever in need of a whiter smile, try eating some strawberries instead of opting for over the counter teeth whiteners.
Oranges are another great source of vitamin C, and along with also producing collagen, vitamin C can have other important benefits to your teeth. Vitamin C can help to strengthen the tissue in your gums that keep the roots of your teeth in place. By eating foods high in vitamin C like oranges, you can help keep your teeth in place and reduce your risk of having loose (or losing) teeth throughout your life. The stronger and more intact your teeth, the less likely you'll succumb to gum disease or need dentures in your future.
Cheese, along with most dairy products, contains a great deal of calcium and protein. Both of these are essential in helping teeth remain strong. They also help teeth repair tooth enamel, which can be extremely helpful if you have damaged your tooth enamel already.
Leafy vegetables like spinach can also do wonders for your teeth, but not because of the nutrients or ingredients they contain like the other foods on this list. Leafy vegetables are great for your teeth because they act like a natural cleaner for your teeth. Because these foods require you to chew, and because of their texture, they rub up against your tooth and can help to remove any plaque or other foods from your teeth. This is a great way to give your teeth a quick cleaning when you don't have easy access to a toothbrush.

	In case of add-operation, the remaining arguments should be the new task.
	In all other cases, the remaining arguments are task-group filters.
	Note: In case of task-group filters, normal words are treated are considered
		positive filters (match required), while those that start with the tilde
		character ("~") are considered negative (mismatch required). To match the
		actual "~" symbol at the start of the word, use the "~~" prefix.
	Warning: You may need to escape certain characters, if your shell has
		reserved its normal form for a special purpose.
\n\
Optional Arguments
	-h, --help
		Show this help message and exit.
	-f <filepath>, --file <filepath> (default="./todolist.txt")
		The properly formatted text-file to be used as the data-source.
\n\
Operation & TaskGroup Options
	Operations = list | add | do | fail | edit | move | delete
	TaskGroup = Either a specific date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, or
		today | tomorrow | thisweek | yesterday | lastweek | nextweek |
		thismonth | lastmonth | nextmonth | YYYY-MM | YYYY | forever |
		future | past | periodic | birthdays | longterm
	Note: You will need to specify an exact date (and not a range) while
		adding new tasks. By default, tasks are added to the group
		corresponding to the current date.
	Note: Weeks are assumed to start from a Monday and end on a Sunday.
\n\
Tags (special and otherwise)
	Basics
		Tasks can include tags, which are basically string without whitespace,
		and prefixed with the plus (+) symbol. While you may create your own
		tags, certain tags have special meanings as explained below.
		Note that tags cannot be repeated.
	Status Tags
		These tags are used to indicate the current status of a task:
		+done | +failed | +impossible (lack of a status tag => +pending)
	Tasks with deadlines
		Tasks with a +deadline=<taskgroup> tag, if pending, are carried forward
		from the previous day to the current day. The <taskgroup> must refer
		a specific date, with the exception of the string "none", which just
		means that there is no stop-date for the carry-forwards.
	Periodic Tasks
		Tasks in the "periodic" taskgroup (and no other) are automatically and
		appropriately added to the group corresponding to the current date
		according to the following special tags:
		+everyday | +weekday | +weekend | +monday | +tuesday | ... | +sunday
	Birthdays
		Tasks in the "birthdays" taskgroup (and no other) and with the
		+birthday=yyyy-mm-dd tag are automatically added to the taskgroup
		corresponding to the current date appropriately.
\n\
Usage Examples (not comprehensive)
	$ alias todo='"""+__file__+"""'
	$ todo add Catch the damn mouse. \+essential
	$ todo list today
	$ todo edit mouse # append " +food"
	$ todo list food
	$ todo done catch
	$ todo add 2013-09-15 Make plans for World Domination.
	$ todo list 2013-09
	$ todo add periodic Stare creepily at human. \+thursday
\n\
File (data-source)
	The format of file being used as the data-source has kept extremely simple
	so that it can be easily read and manually modified is necessary.
	(1) Lines with no indenting declare a TaskGroup, which must be a specific
		date (format=YYYY-MM-DD) or a special group ("Periodic").
	(2) Once a TaskGroup has been declared, the following lines specify the
		actual task (with tags). A single horizontal tab is used as indentation.
	(3) The last line of the file starts with a hash (#), followed by a space,
		and finally the last script run date (format=YYYY-MM-DD).
	Any deviations from the above specified rules will result in an error.
	Warning: Do not change the last line of the file! Doing so may result in
		unexpected, unwanted & irreversible changes and inconsistencies!
