serious charge. If he (the Judge Advocate) had done so, he should no longer desire to hold that station; but he would explain to the Court the circumstances to which this assertion had alluded. When he entered upon this business, he found among the charges one for misbehaviour before the enemy-he meant a charge of cowardice. At the time he felt, as he had since stated to the Court, that the dispatches of Gen. Whitelocke himself were sufficient to justify the charges that came before them for investigation; but he felt that, however the other charges might disgrace him as an officer, they could not as a man, though such a charge as this might sink him in society, whether proved or not proved, and would stigmatize him for ever. He thought, therefore, it ought not to be brought forward without a certainty of proof. It was under these considerations he submitted it to his Majesty's Council: but as to suppress such a charge, if well founded, would, on the other hand, have been as wrong, he did, though reluctantly, determine to see some of the officers of Gen. Whitelocke's Staff, with a view to ascertain facts, not to collect evidence, or to establish public clamour. The result of these inquiries was already known to the Court, as not affording the necessary proof; and they could say how far he merited this complaint against him.
There was also another observation for him to make. It was the complaint. Gen. Whitelocke had preferred of his harsh treatment, that he had been pursued to his private moments, by the requiring of disclosures of conversations from his secretary. The only reply he should offer to this was, by reading to the Court the evidence alluded to. (Here the evidence of Col. Torrens respecting his transactions with the Geneval was read.) He then adverted to the first part of the charges, namely, the requisition of the civil officers as prisoners of war; and upon this he must observe, Gen. Whitelocke had not brought forward one solitary precedent to jus. tify such a measure. This charge stated, that instead of holding out to the Spanish Government such terms as would give a favourable impression of the British army, the General, on the contrary, called upon them to deliver up to him their Magistrates, the very persons to
whom the inhabitants looked up for prøtection.
Gen. Whitelocke's private dispatch stated his reasons for abandoning the bombardment of the town, and for risk'ing the unfortunate plan which was the ground of the second charge against him. He had, he said, abandoned the bombardment, because it would irritate the inhabitants;-surely the requisition of the civil officers was more likely to irritate. It was for the Court to decide, whether Colonia, the only strong fortress besides Monte Video, should have been abandoned and dismantled, though it could have been maintained by a very small force. But compared with the points in the two after-charges, these were unimportant. He then retraced the march from Reduction to the arrival of the army at the Coral, and brought forward the leading occurrences:-That the advanced corps on the 2d defeated the enemy; the main body following, after a march of seven miles, were halted; that a cannonading was heard, and no means taken to learn from whence it proceeded, or the cause; that Col. Mahon, with the rear-guard, arrived at Reduction, and opened a cemmunication with the navy, yet received no further orders till the 6th; that according to the positive testimony of Generals Gower and Craufurd, if they had advanced on the town on the 2d, it would have been captured, by the measure of entering on the westward, where they were not expected; that guides were not confronted; that the necessary orders for the march were not given; and that no communication was kept up with the advanced corps, from the time it moved, though the main body had only marched seven miles.
On the points which applied to the plan, he meant to offer no observation; it was for the Court to decide upon its merits or demerits. It appeared that Gen. Whitelocke received information of the defence of the enemy from Mr White, which proved to be accurate: he arranged the plan of attack, with sut having made any reconnoissance of the town; he had not, in orders or otherwise, intimated the station himself was to occupy; he had fixed no point of retreat, if retreat was necessary; that the gun-boats might have assisted in the attack; that, by his orders, Col. Mahon,
with his brigade, remained at the bridge; and that in consequence of this separation, the army lost the assistance of
1800 men.
In the latter part of the third charge, it appeared that the Plaza del Toros was taken by Sir Samuel Auchmuty by nine o'clock; that it contained a quantity of ammunition and provisions, and that Gen. Lumley, having no communication to act by, was obliged to join Sir S. Auchmuty: that General Craufurd and Col. Pack, with their forces, were obliged to surrender for want of further orders, and those officers who had displayed so much gallantry were left without support. He next adverted to the necessity of the Commander in Chief's personal exertions, which, though by no means necessary at all times, in some instances, were an indispensable part of his duty; in proof of which he instanced the personal exertions of the late Lord Lake, from which his country derived the greatest benefits, and himself unfading laurels. He then adverted to the occupation of the Corali by Sir Samuel Auchmuty, the reports made to the General of the success or failure of the other columns, and the want of necessary communications between the head quar. ters and these columns in order to support them. He then spoke of the situation of the fortress of Monte Video at the time of the treaty, and enforced the arguments of Sir S. Auchmuty against giving up the possession of that place, and condemned in strong terms the motives which had induced Gen. Whitelocke to sign the treaty, as subversive of all the principles hitherto acted upon in such circumstances.
In conclusion, he observed, that it was for the Court to determine whether so gallant an army were deserving of such a fate as to be obliged to purchase their safety by so disgraceful a sacrifice of their honour and character as British soldiers. The prisoner had endeavour ed to make it out, that in the event of a bombardment, the lives of the prisoners would be put in imminent peril, and that had made him refrain from ordering that measure, although he was amply supplied with the means of carry. ing it into effect. The learned Judge Advocate said, he had looked into the instructions, and could not find one single sentence that gave him such disJuly 1803.
cretionary power; it was therefore free for him to say, that this conduct was not that which ought to be pursued by a British officer. What ought to have been his conduct as the Commander in Chief of a British army, even under the pressure of the cessation of arms by a capitulation of his advanced corps? Not to have given up the distant post of Monte Video under circumstances that did not require it.-But, in answer to any application that might have been made to such a purport from the Spanish General, he should have said-I will do every thing in my power to compel you to submission, and as to your threats of ill-usage to the prisoners, if you dare, in defiance of the laws of nature and of nations, to take away an hair from their heads, I will retali ate with that degree of severity that such conduct will merit.
Lieut-Gen. Whitelocke then declared that he did not mean to impute any thing improper to the conduct of the Judge Advocate; and the proceedings on each side were then declared to be closed.
liberation on the evidence, and having The Court were several days in deat length agreed upon their sentence, it was communicated to and approved of by his Majesty, and published as follows in
GENERAL ORDERS.
Horse Guards, March 24, 1808. At a General Court Martial, &c. Lieut. General John Whitelocke was tried upon the following Charges, &c. SENTENCE.
"The Court Martial having duly considered the evidence given in support of the charges against the prisoner, Lieutenant-General Whitelocke, his defence, and the evidence he has adduced, are of opinion, That he is guilty of the whole of the charges, with the exception of that part of the second charge which relates to the order that the columns should be unloaded, and that no firing should be permitted on any account.
"The Court are anxious that it may be distinctly understood, that they attach no censure whatever to the precautions taken to prevent unnecessary firing during the advance of the troops
to the proposed points of attack, and do therefore acquit Lieut-Gen. Whitelocke of that part of the said charge.
Sketch of the Life of
GENERAL WHITELOCKE.
Gen. Whitelocke is a native of Berk-
shire, and was born about the year 1759:
"The Court do therefore adjudge, that the said Lieut-General Whitelocke be-He received a good grammar-school
cashiered, and declared totally unfit and unworthy to serve his Majesty in any mili tary capacity whatever.
The King has been pleased to confirm the above sentence, and his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief has received his Majesty's command to direct, that it shall be read at the head of every regiment in his service, and inserted in all regimental orderly books, with a view of its becoming a lasting memorial of the fatal consequences to which officers expose themselves, who, in the discharge of the most important duties confided to them, are deficient in that zeal, judgement, and personal exertion, which their Sovereign and their country have a right to expect from of ficers intrusted with high commands.
To his Majesty, who has ever taken
a most lively interest in the welfare, the
honour, and reputation of his troops, the
recent failure in South America has
proved a subject of the most heart-felt
regret; but it has been a great conso-
lation to him, and his Majesty has
commanded it to be intimated to the
army, that, after the most minute in-
vestigation, his Majesty finds ample
cause for gratification in the intrepidity
and good conduct displayed by his troops
lately employed on that service, and
particularly by those divisions of the
army which were personally engaged
with the enemy in the town of Buenos
Ayres, on the 5th of July 1807; and
his Majesty entertains no doubt, that
had the exertions of his troops in South
America been directed by the same skill
and energy which have so eminently
distinguished his commanders in other
quarters of the world, the result of the
campaign would have proved equally
glorious to themselves, and beneficial
to their country.
By command of his Royal Highness
the Commander in Chief,
HARRY CALVERT,
Major-Gen. and Adj..Gen, of the Forces.
education at Marlborough, and was af-
terwards placed by the late Earl of Ay-
lesbury (whom his father served as stew-
ard) at Lochee's Military Academy,near
Chelsea, where he remained untill the
year 1777, when his Lordship procured
him an ensigncy in the 14th regiment
of foot. This regiment was then at
Chatham barracks, and there he formed
a friendly connexion with the present
Quart.-Mast.-Gen. Brownrigg, then a
Lieutenant, and afterwards Adjutant of
that corps. Whitelocke accompanied his
regiment to the West Indies in the ear-
ly part of 1780, and returned with it to
England towards the end of the war.-
In 1787 he was still a Lieutenant, and
was then quartered at Chatham, where
he held some kind of garrison rank in
the depot principally established for re-
cruits for the regiments serving in In-
dia. In the mean time, he and Gen
Brownrigg (both then but Lieutenants)
had married daughters of the late Mr
Lewis, chief clerk of the War-office.
Quick promotion was the natural result
of an union so fortunate. He soon be-
came a field-officer, and, on the com-
mencement of the war in 1793, he was
promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy
of the 13th foot, in which he served a
considerable time in the West Indies.
In July 1794, Col. Whitelocke returned to England, with a very handsome testimonial of his military conduct from Gen. White. From his matrimonial connexions, he was soon appointed to the home Staff, and successively rose to the ranks of Brigadier-Major-and Lieut. General, and to the command of the 89th regiment of foot. In 1797, he was second in command at Portsmouth, where he had many opportunities of displaying his parade talents, both in the garrison, and in the inspecting and reviewing of the different volunteer corps in the vicinity. In 1800 he was removed from this situation, and appointed to the depot at Carisbrooke, in the Isle of Wight. In 1807, he was appointed to the chief command of an expedition destined for the re-capture of Buenos Ayres,

HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH DAY.
SATURDAY, June 4. being the anniversary of his Majesty's Birth-day (who entered into his 71st year,) the same was celebrated at Edinburgh with every demonstration of loyalty and respect. The Court of Session
did not meet, and the Banks and Public Of
fices were shut. The flag was displayed
from the Castle in the morning, and at noon all the guns were fired. The whole military force in the district paraded in the New Town; and after the brigades were drawn up, they passed his Excellency Lord Viscount Cathcart in the following order: A detachment of the Royal Artillery Berwickshire, Lanarkshire, Aberdeenshire, Dumfrieshire, Edinburghshire, Invernessshire regiments of militia-Mid Lothian Cavalry-1st regiment Royal Edinburgh Volunteers-1st battalion 2d regiment Royal Edinburgh Volunteers--Loyal Edinburgh Artillery-Royal Leith Volunteers-Trinity House Artillery-Loyal Edinburgh Volunteers-2d battalion 2d regiment Roy. al Edinburgh Volunteers-Royal Highland Volunteers-Royal Edinburgh Artillery.
They then marched to Hope Park, where they were drawn up in the walks, and fired a feu-de-joye. In the evening a grand collation was given by the Lord Provost and Magistrates, in the Parliameat House, which was elegantly decorated with flowers and shrubs, to a number of noblemen and gentlemen, and many of the first characters in the country. The number of men under arms amounted, it is supposed, to between 9000 and 10,000.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. On Friday, July 22. the 1st Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteer Infantry concluded their permanent duty with a grand field-day, when they were brigaded with the 1st battalion of the 2d Regiment on Bruntsfield Links. It is but doing justice to the parent corps, and to its first shoot, to state that their performance on this occasion was most masterly, whether considered in the accuracy of position, correctness of manoeuvre, steadiness of march, or closeness and regularity of firing. Lieut. Gen, Lord Viscount Cathcart, command. ing the forces in Scotland, with several other distinguished officers, honoured the field with their presence, and his Lordship then bestowed a most fattering testi
mony of approbation on the good conduct and discipline of these corps.
Next day the following general order was issued.
"The Commander of the Forces having been present yesterday at a field-day of the 1st Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunthe 2d Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Voteer Infantry, and of the 1st battalion of lunteers, when both battalions were exercised together on Bruntsfield Links by the Right Honourable Charles Hope, approves most highly of their appearance and performance in all respects, and is satisfied that their discipline and instruction are such as would enable them to act with advantage in the line with any troops in the service."
The following regiments belonging to the city and county of Edinburgh, have volun teered into the Local Militia, viz. the 1st and 2d battalions of the 2d regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers -Royal Highland Volunteers-Loyal Edinburgh Volun→ teers-Royal Leith Volunteers-Musselburgh and Dalkeith Volunteers, and Royal Mid Lothian Artillery.-Similar offers have been made by the Glasgow Highland regiment, the Loyal Greenock Volunteers, the Mearns-shire battalion, the Aberdeen Light Infantry regiment, the Fraserburgh corps, and the Culloden battalion.

Since Johnkey's stupid comments the other day about Wellington dying, there has been a predictable uproar and outpouring of denial from all of us proud Wellingtonians. Without doubt, if he meant to stir us into action, he has succeeded. Also without doubt, he has no endeared himself to anyone in this town – if chef's didn't spit in his soup before, I'm sure they will now.
Then today, chief of everything, Mr Joyce announces that Celia Wade-Brown is the root of all problems and that if only "she and her silly council" (words to that effect) would support more roads, then everything would be rosy. In reply to all this, it seems that WCC has decided the way out of this imbroglio is to Brand its way out.
All of these things are wrong. Roads are not the answer. Brands are not the answer.
Roads improve productivity, a little, and improve the bank balance of companies with large road moving machinery – but that's about all. Branding improves Saatchi's bank balance quite a bit, but does nothing really. Construction, on the other hand, affects a wide range of industries and workers, and is an area well worth investing in.
Wellington has an issue, not so much with lack of Government confidence in its Mayor (although that is a concern that it is stated so openly), but to me, the greatest issue is the stock of existing central city buildings. It's a fair cop, Guv – you've got us bang to rights – we do have a problem with existing buildings not being seismically up to snuff, as well as the old chestnut of us sitting on the biggest potential earthquake hazard this side of the San Andreas fault. If we knew the Big 'Un would be arriving tomorrow, we'd all happily decamp up to the Wairarapa for the next week, until it was all over. Except of course, that the Wairarapa is just as bad really. Actually, probably the safest nearby place is Nelson, but that's not going to be an easy exodus. We all know, deep in our hearts, or perhaps in a lot shallower place – like at the front of our nose – that if an earthquake comes it will wipe out the city.
But what if we were to put two and two together, and come up, not with four or five, but instead a perfect ten? What if we were to use our currently sitting idle construction industry, and get them to work to quake-safe our homes? What if we were to be determined that an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 will not wipe us out, but that we would sit here happily, ride it out, shrug it off, sing Hallelujah, and then get back to work? How would that feel? How secure and happy would we be then? Is that just a pipe dream – or is that achievable?
Of course, it is. Tokyo has had that attitude for quite some time. Japan has long since been prepared for both earthquakes and tsunami – evidence being that they even named the word themselves. New Zealand, and quite specifically Wellington, is gloriously unprepared, and at present is just relying on the time honoured tradition of sticking heads in sand.
And hardly anyone has pointed out the role of the insurance cartels using the ChCh quakes as an excuse to rent-seek.
DeepRed, you're absolutely right. Insurance money, if we ever get it out of them, will rebuild Christchurch. But it will cost a zillion.
Sorry for the blank there – our website died, just for a little bit – and all our readers went away. Anyway, we're still here.


The ongoing irritation at the BBC's exclusion of secular voices from The Thought for the Day slot has spurred one the NSS's previous presidents, David Tribe, to sponsor a prize of £250 for the best secular Thought for the Day.
To win the prize, we are looking for a short essay in a similar format to the BBC's religious slot.
Thought for the Day is supposed to be an 'uplifting' reflection on a topical issue from a religious point of view.
To be in with a chance, your secular Thought should be between 450 - 650 words and be positive in approach and ideally related to a topical matter. We are not looking for a humanist Thought or an atheist Thought, but specifically for a secular Thought. We suggest you look at the NSS's Secular Charter for some ideas.
So, let's have some great (secular) Thoughts for the Day and good luck!
Send your Secular Thought for the Day to admin@secularism.org.uk or by post to NSS, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL. Entries that require a great deal of correction or editing are unlikely to win the prize, so please let us have copy that is clean and finalised to your satisfaction. Please submit entries by Monday 18 March.

Newport Trophy Regatta for 12 Metres Begins This Weekend

NEWPORT, R.I. (June 24, 2019) – As an important lead up to the 12 Metre World Championship in July, the Newport Trophy Regatta will take place off Newport, R.I. over the weekend of June 29-30. Hosted by Ida Lewis Yacht Club, the 12 Metre-only event provides one of the last formal opportunities for teams to fine-tune skills and also counts toward standings in the global ROAD TO THE WORLDS WAYPOINTS Series, which has helped build competition in the Northern Europe, Southern Europe and Americas Fleets.
"The game is afoot," said Americas Fleet President and Event Chair for the Worlds Peter Gerard, explaining that points for the WAYPOINTS standings have been accumulating since 2017 and currently show American Eagle (US-21), Challenge XII (KA-10), Courageous (US-26), and Victory '83 (K-22) – all from the Americas Fleet – in the final hunt for the series trophy, which will be awarded at the conclusion of the 12 Metre World Championship to a single team with the highest overall point score (among all divisions) for the past three seasons. "The Worlds are part of the WAYPOINTS Series as are the 12 Metre Pre-Worlds Regatta (part of Sail Newport's Newport Regatta, July 6-7) and the New York Yacht Club's 165th Annual Regatta, which was held last week. At that latter event, we really got our first glimpse into just how competitive the 12 Metres are going to be on the World Championship stage."

At the Annual Regatta, where six of the Modern 12 Metres competed together, Challenge XII, skippered by Jack LeFort (Jamestown, R.I.), won with a three-point lead over Courageous, skippered by Art Santry. Courageous finished second on a tiebreaker with Victory '83, skippered by owner Dennis Williams, and just one point behind them in fourth place was Enterprise (US-27), which has been chartered by Clay and Nancy Deutsch (Newport, R.I.) for the Worlds and was racing in its current configuration for the first time.
"At almost every finish we were overlapped with one or two or three boats, and there couldn't have been more than 15 seconds separating first from sixth," said LeFort, who won two of the four high-breeze races. "All the teams have stepped it up this year, so any boat can win any race. It's going to be an unbelievable summer of racing…very cool."
Challenge XII, designed by Ben Lexcen, was commissioned by Alan Bond as a possible Australian challenger for the 1983 America's Cup. LeFort bought her in 2017, completed most of its renovation two winters ago, and with is current crew has been practicing for the Worlds for three years.
"We love the boat and we want to continue racing it beyond the Worlds," said LeFort. "The other 12 Metre owners are jazzed to do the same, and the boats are so well restored now, it would be a shame not to keep the enthusiasm and momentum going."
Clockwise from top left at the Annual Regatta: Clay Deutsch at the helm of Enterprise (US-27), crew work aboard Courageous (US-26), and American Eagle (US-21), Dennis Williams at the helm of Victory '83 (K-22) (Photos Credit: Stephen R. Cloutier)
In its first regatta experience, Enterprise turned a shaky beginning into a clear promise that the new kid on the block will be a threat at the Worlds. After an extensive multi-year refit, Enterprise was recently donated to the U.S. Merchant Marine Sailing Academy. She splashed only weeks ago when Clay Deutsch, who has won past 12 Metre World Championships with both Weatherly (US-17) in the Traditional division and Freedom (US-30) in the Modern division, took charter possession of her and formed his team of veteran sailors.
At the Annual Regatta, the team broke two jibs and a main on Friday (in the Around the Island Race that is scored separately from the Annual Regatta) and made one mistake after another in Saturday's single race.
"On Saturday night, we had an 'exorcism' by a bonfire where we burned some old stuff and had a group chant; it was pretty spiritual," laughed Deutsch. "On Sunday there were encouraging signs for sure when we won two races. We were either awfully lucky or it was real progress. The boat is fine; we just need to figure out how to sail it and get that last bit out of her. The learning curve is insane."
As for the general experience of sailing 12 Metres, Deutsch said, "If you don't sail the heck out of these boats, they sail you. The physical appeal of the 12 Metres is the feeling of power; everything is heavy and super loaded up. When you get them rumbling it's like riding bareback on a 747 plane; there is no feeling like it."
In Traditional Division American Eagle prevailed over its two Traditional counterparts Columbia (US-16) and Nefertiti (US-19), in second and third, respectively. In Grand Prix, New Zealand (KZ-3) won all of its four races to win overall against Kiwi Magic (KZ-7).
ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL 12 METRE CLASS
The 112 year-old International 12 Metre Class encompasses a living history of racing yacht design by the world's foremost naval architects including Olin Stephens, Clinton Crane, William Fife III, Philip Rhodes, Johan Anker, Ben Lexcen and more who pushed their designs to the very limits of innovation. The resulting boats represented the pinnacle of yacht development from 1907-1987 for the highest levels of international sailing competition– the Olympic Games (1908-1920) and the America's Cup (1958-1987). www.12mrclass.com

Effective February 1, the Rabbit Hole Brewing Company of Justin, Texas, has joined forces with Sons of John for the distribution of their products in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Sons of John is a Dallas-based company founded by Willie and Jason Lindsay, whose local portfolio includes the likes of Audacity Brew House of Denton and the Bishop Cider Company of Dallas. Adding Rabbit Hole to a list that also includes Adelbert's and Oasis Brewing out of Austin makes Sons of John a great source for craft beer brewed in the Lone Star State.
Rabbit Hole Chief Sales Sensei, Tait Lifto, polled accounts across North Texas to get a sense of which distributors provided the best level of quality and customer service, eventually coming away with the impression that Sons of John had a great reputation for being "passionate about craft beer and bringing it to people." In announcing the partnership, Lifto says the brewery is "super jazzed" about working with them to "get beer out to the passionate drinkers of D/FW."
As for why the brewery decided to make this move, Lifto sounds a chord similar to other craft brewers trying to manage growth: "Signing on with [Sons of John] enables us to ease up on worrying about the physical delivery of beer and focus on production," or as he puts it a little more directly, "brewing beer and getting it to your mouth."

DEC Ebola Crisis Appeal raises more than £8 million
Over £8 million has already been donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal to help people affected by the devastating Ebola crisis in west Africa through web and phone donations and UK government support, the organisation said today.
Although the appeal was only officially launched on Thursday, the DEC said it had been "overwhelmed" by the generosity of the British public.
The UK Government is matching the first £5 million given by the public and their contribution makes up £4 million of the total £8 million raised so far.
Saleh Saeed, Chief Executive of the DEC, said:
"We have been overwhelmed by the extraordinary generosity of the UK public in response to our unprecedented appeal for the Ebola Crisis in west Africa.
"We are extremely grateful to the UK Government for the aid match funding which is a significant boost to the Appeal. The UK Government will match a further £1 million raised, so we encourage the UK public to donate as soon as possible to double the amount of their donation."
"Our member agencies have already achieved so much– providing protective clothing, educating communities and supporting safe and dignified burials – but there is so much more to do."
DEC member agencies are scaling up their aid efforts in West Africa where they have already helped over 2.5m people affected by the Ebola crisis. They are reaching some of the worst-affected and most remote areas of Sierra Leone and Liberia.
So far, almost 5,000 people have been killed by the virus and more than 13,000 have been infected. But experts say the real figures could be far higher due to under-reporting.
To make a donation to the DEC Ebola Crisis Appeal visit http://www.dec.org.uk, call the 24 hour hotline on 0370 60 60 900, donate over the counter at any high street bank or post office, or send a cheque. You can also donate £5 by texting the word SUPPORT to 70000.
Stay up to date with developments on the Ebola crisis, the emergency response and the DEC's fundraising efforts on twitter: http://twitter.com/decappeal or on Facebook via http://www.facebook.com/DisastersEmergencyCommittee
The DEC does not generally compare appeal totals as each disaster is different but for those wishing to make comparisons the equivalent 'next day' figures for the most recent DEC appeals were: Gaza Crisis Appeal £4.5m and Philippines Typhoon Appeal £13m.
To donate £5 by text send the word. The full £5 will go to the DEC Ebola Crisis Appeal. Donors must be 16 years or over and have the bill payer's permission. Texts are free and donations will be added to the bill.
Donations can be made at www.dec.org.uk or 0370 60 60 900

Q: start ElasticSearch (v. 7.x) Testcontainer with SSL on Junit5 I'm attempting to get a testcontainer running that is like the actual container, which runs on an TLS/SSL connection. I see that there's a way to do it on 8.0.0 (since it is enabled by default) but I have 7.17.x instead. I can't seem to figure out a way for it to run on HTTPS. This is how I'm starting the container (without TLS):
   public static ElasticsearchContainer container = new ElasticsearchContainer(
      DockerImageName.parse("docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.3"))
      .withPassword("password");

I've tried to get the container to run on TLS by giving it the same settings as in our normal docker compose (i.e. all the xpack.security.* variables) but it doesn't seem to work. It either can't copy the cert files I want over or it tells me the keys/certs cannot be found (even with .withCopyFileToContainer(...))
Should I even be trying to get it to run with TLS at all??
Edit: I think I fixed it?? But maybe there's a more elegant and less robust way of doing this.
   static final MountableFile mountableCrt = MountableFile.forClasspathResource("certs/elastic-node.crt");
   static final MountableFile mountableKey = MountableFile.forClasspathResource("certs/elastic-node.key");
   static final MountableFile mountableCa = MountableFile.forClasspathResource("certs/ca.crt");

   static Map<String, String> sslVars = Map.ofEntries(
         Map.entry("xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled", "true"),

         Map.entry("xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode", "certificate")
      );

public static ElasticsearchContainer container = new ElasticsearchContainer(
      DockerImageName.parse("docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.3"))

      .withEnv(sslVars)

I had to put it specifically under config, I tried putting it elsewhere and it would fail?

School Game is a game with RPG elements. You create your character and evolve in a school environement. Learn skills, buy equipement, meet classmates, build your reputation and budget, be a member of the student council and various clubs, and improve your relationship with the head of the student council, which you may decide to replace. Isn't it what everyone wanted in high school, even in student years: complete freedom of action?
New content:
— The storyline with Azumi, a realtor from a real estate agency, has been continued: new events have been added, leading to some new gaming privileges, as well as game content.
— Added a new job: now your character can be a bouncer in a local beach bar and get paid for it. This possibility opens up when passing the storyline with Azumi.
— Now you can take a drubbing assignment from the hooligans in an abandoned factory, during which your character will be able to get money, as well as a hooligan reputation.
— New events with Yuki Oota have been changed and redesigned to meet current standards: now you can play the character of your personage with the help of large choices. If before that you didn't like his character, prescribed at the very beginning, then now you can safely move away from him and play something else. At the moment, the structure of events with her is similar in events with Ayano Yoshida.
— A new parameter, mood, was added to the indicators of randomized NPCs. It changes from any activities and actions, if the mood is too low, the RNPCs will constantly sit at home, and if your character's relationship with him is too high, the consent to any actions will increase.
— Now the continuation of the quest with a secret fan is available not only when choosing in which your character is against the input of an independent newspaper, but also when choosing the opposite.
— Now your character can buy "Strange Bars" from a randomized NPC with X-Ray glasses. They increase your level by one unit, but they can be bought only once a week in limited quantities, as well as for a fairly large amount of in-game money.
— Now your character can defeat the leader of the hooligans in a fight at an abandoned factory: if he is not guarded, he can start it, and if there is a victory, it will be possible to finish the quest for the extermination of hooligans ahead of time.
— The scene that opens when you select "masturbate with me" has been finalized. Now it displays underwear, stockings, some features of appearance.
— Added new possible rules to the rules menu for randomized female NPCs - socks stockings, wear a choker and wear earrings. Each of them, at a relationship level above the best friend, will affect the appearance of the selected RNPCs in its own way.
— New settings have been added to the menu of point generation of randomized NPCs. With the help of them, you will have the opportunity to edit the main statistics of influence: sociability, criminality, romance, increasing the average value of these parameters in the RNPCs in the session.
— Two new buttons have been added to the randomized NPCs editor: export and import of the academy. They can be used immediately after the generation of randomized NPCs.
— Now, in the randomized NPCS editor, you will have the opportunity to choose the club in which the NPC will consist from the list of all available clubs in the game. Eight more pieces were added to the already existing two. In addition, the selection of all this has been slightly edited and changed.
— Сurrently the game, as before, at the start of a new session starts on Sunday at 08:00.
— The formula of the necessary experience to get a level has been completely redesigned: currently the experience needed to increase increases evenly, and the basis is not a general indicator multiplied by a certain coefficient, but a fixed value multiplied by a level and a coefficient, which will eliminate the problems in which billions of experience were required at level 25 to increase the level
— Currently, when spending five energy on any action, your personage is guaranteed to take off 1 unit of health of the body part "Head". Besides, currently a lot more actions reduce the health of your character's limbs at "Medium" and "High" difficulty levels, there are much more limitation placed on these values.
— Currently zeroing out absenteeism in the student council also adds to your personage's academic achievement.
— In the function, in the game settings category, a new feature has been added - the character is stuck. With it, if you are stuck somewhere in an infinite loop, you can get out of it with this opportunity.
— Redesigned the chances of some common game events, their selections.
— Added more verification functions to the RNPCS editor: there will be much fewer generation errors associated with this moment of the game.
— The hacking/programming mechanics have been improved generally: some chances of execution, gaining experience for successful execution, as well as privileges received in some places have been adjusted.
— Added a lot of new group activities for RNPCs with their own events, developments and elections. Each of them influence your relationship with them, their influence statistics and future activity.
— A lot more information with hints on what needs to be done has been added to the diary, to the page with hints on the available plot missions. Hints are now much bigger, more informative and clearer.
— A new stadium has been added to the academy's locations. RNPS walk on it, they are active. Besides, this stadium also replaces the background of physical education lessons at the academy.
— A new perk has been added to the perks per level menu - Quick restoration. With it, your character will be able to do twice as much physical activity with fewer limitations.
— A new perk has been added to the perks menu perk level - completed homework. With the help of it, your character will be able to do homework with cent percent probability.
— New mini-events have been added to sex scenes with RNPCs, some changes have been made to them and the overall appearance of the existing 18+ scenes has been perfected. Besides , the existing ones have been rebalanced: corrected the chance of premature ejaculation, the chances of some other mini events falling out in the scene.
— Extra files were removed from the game directory, and also, generally, the existing files needed for the game are slightly better organized.
— Currently each RNPC has an orientation that can be viewed in the information box. It becomes accessible for viewing when your relationship with the selected RNPCs exceeds 25 points.
— A new location has been added to the world map - a hospital. Two new backgrounds were drawn especially for her, and new functions were also made: RNPCs walk around this location, they are active with each other, and also in it your character has the opportunity to cheaply cure injury limbs in return for a long time of their treatment.
— A new item has been added to the online store on the player's PC - a huge first aid kit. Using it, you can cure all limbs up to cent percent.
— The pattern of behavior of RNPCs has been edited: their choice of location is now more based on individual qualities, they use information about what they did before when choosing locations, as well as other information to make their behavior more foreseeable and understandable.
— Added new mechanics for the game: now, to find out how many relationships a gift gives, whether the RNPS will like it, your character must have an intelligence attribute higher than that of the RNPS to whom he gives a gift.
— When buying amulets, they now display the status [HAVE] in the interface.
— The appearance of the original gaming settings page has been tweaked and modified to fit one view: some flaws and irregularities, empty spaces and other problems have been fixed.
— Corrected relationship indicators outstanding after giving a gift to RNPCs.
— Currently RNPCs also generate music favor, which are indicated in the information field.
— Currently you can buy only one amulet/item in the "Temple" location using the "Buy amulets" interaction.
— A new perk level has been added to the game - an AI developer. With it, you will be able to see the percentage of success for a definite interaction with RNPCs.
— A new perk level has been added to the game - experienced. With it, you will be able to see how many relationship points a particular gift will give.
— Now the use of sleeping pills will decrease the health of your character's head by 30 units at a high level of difficulty.
— Reduced consumption of limb health for each interaction. Besides, now a sleep lasting less than an hour will not restore the health of the limbs at all, and the recovery itself will depend on how long your character has rested.
— Modified some 18+ scenes, scenes of an erotic nature, as well as regular scenes with RNPCs: the system that distributes layers has been improved, the chances that determine the success of any actions have been redesigned, and some other errors/flaws related to this part of the game have been fixed.
— Added new 18+ events, as well as activities related to RNPCs. They fall out at a high level of common in them.
— Improved generation of RNPCs: more interconnected conditions were added, which is why RNPCs are generated with fewer wer errors and inconsistencies.

— Improved AI in a fight: now RNPCs are guided much better in fights, the action analyzer has been improved and some formulas for calculating damage from a critical attack, knockdown and some other parameters have been changed.
— Some points affecting difficulty levels have been revised and adjusted: damage to limbs, removal of energy and satiation indicators, as well as some other points have been edited. Besides, the system with relationship stages has been improved - now it works more appropriately, and also takes into account what you did with RNPCs before, using an analyzer.
— Currently, if your character does something aggressive towards the defeated in a fight, others may try to protect this defeated. Besides, the relationship with the characters in the location can noticeably decrease if they see all this.
— Added new possible answers to choose from in the player's training at the very beginning of the gaming session.
- The module responsible for the distribution of activity between RNPCs has been edited - now hooligans are much more active in locations, they use more possible activities and generally behave as they should.
— Added a new perk to the perks menu for levels - еternal fugitive. With it, your character will be able to escape from fights that have already begun with а better odds.
— Added a new mode to the point generation menu before the start of the gaming session - a lot of hooligans.
— Added a new mode to the point generation menu before the start of the gaming session - more scored personages.
— Added a new mode to the point generation menu before the start of the gaming session - more fights.
— Now the stamina attribute indicator declining the damage received by the limbs.
— The system of relationship stages has been improved: now it is a little more logical, there are more triggers to replace the stages themselves, and these stages themselves have begun to mean much more, giving certain privileges to achieve them.
— The system responsible for the issuance of relationship/attachment/fear points, as well as responsible for the success of various kinds of interactions, has been slightly rebalanced. The system has been balanced for the current game conditions: in some places it is complicated, in some it is reductive.
— The system of collecting sprites on the screen has been somewhat simplified, which is why downloading some moments on weak devices has become a little faster, and the problem with memory leakage has become less topical.
Fixed bugs:
— Fixed a bug where an exception occurred while using the online shopping menu on the player's computer.
— Fixed a shortcoming in which a visit to the location "Lane" was reckon a visit to the location "Roof" when performing the achievement "Fernand Magellan".
— Fixed a bug due to which events with Suzuki Matsui could not start after the start of the shift at 12:00.

— Fixed a flaw in which during push-ups, damage was done to the left leg instead of the left arm.
— Fixed a flaw where the hooligan leader could be too feeble in attribute values.

Blog 235: 4.19.7- 4.19.13
Confirmation, a sacrament in Roman Catholic theology, was an offence to Calvin because it sapped the meaning of baptism. In scholastic terms, baptism only washed away original sin and those sins committed before baptism. Confirmation was viewed as a sacrament of continuing grace. Calvin, on the other hands, viewed baptism and a sign and seal of forgiveness and reconciliation for the entirety of one's life - making confirmation unnecessary.
Blog 234: 4.19.1 - 4.19.6
More on sacraments - additional ones invented by men. Using the formula that sacraments are "visible signs of an invisible grace" Calvin notes that there is no limit to the inventions that can pass this test. Reverting again to the argument of recent novelty, Calvin argues that the seven sacraments of medieval Catholicism were unknown in the early church. They are a recent invention (addition) and fail for that reason. Sola Scriptura must be the basis on which sacraments are judged. How many sacraments did Jesus give to the church? Two and only two: baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Pray Like a Prophet
Following Elijah's stunning victory over the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18, he turns his attention to drought that continued to linger over the land. Back in 1 Kings 17, Elijah had announced a drought on the land because of the apostasy of the people. They had backed into Baalism and paganism. And their failure to remain faithful to the Lord carried the judgment of God removing his word from the people, signified by the lack of rain or dew. This was also a polemic against Baal, the storm god. The Baal cycle would be broken and the LORD would show himself to be God.
A Dirty Doeg
"With which person in the Bible do you most identify?" This is a question I have often asked others in the church over the years. Most of us lack even enough self-awareness to able to answer the question. Others among us have a propensity to appeal to the best characters in Scripture.
What Does it Mean to be Reformed?
A listener asks "the famous Carl Trueman" what "to be Reformed" really means, as Aimee and Todd play the mediators.
Here Comes the Worship Cop!
We enjoy a pleasant visit with Terry Johnson. He's the senior minister of Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, GA, where he's been serving since 1987. Eons ago, Terry had planned on teaching a 10-part series on the attributes of God…which turned into 82, as he immersed himself in the greatest classical literature on the doctrine of God.


P.L. 79-396 (June 4, 1946) authorized federal cash and commodity support for school lunch and milk programs, "...as a measure of national security..." in response to claims that many American men had been rejected for military service in World War II because of diet-related health problems. Beginning in the early 1930's federal support had been provided for school lunch programs through donations of surplus commodities, and when these dried up during the War, by grants provided under annual appropriations laws. The original National School Lunch Act established multi-year authority for the financing of school feeding programs. It since has been amended numerous times and now permanently authorizes the national school lunch program and the child and adult care food program. Federally guaranteed subsidies are provided for every lunch served, with higher amounts generally provided for lunches served to low-income children who meet income criteria set by the law. This Act also requires federal payments for meals and snacks served to children and elderly and disabled persons in day care facilities (the child and adult care food program) and children in summer programs operated in low-income areas (the summer food service program), and it requires a set value of commodity assistance for each lunch served under these programs. Other activities supported by this Act include meals supplements for children in after-school care, a homeless children nutrition program, meal service for Department of Defense overseas dependents schools , and an information clearinghouse.


Some changes are made in the format of Civil Services Examination since 2013. It's for the first time the Indian Forest Service (IFS) aspirants were combined with the Civil Services aspirants and are made to take the preliminary examination. Those Indian Forest Service aspirants who may eventually clear the Preliminary examination have to write separate exams for their Mains Indian Forest Service examination.

Hauntings, Stories
History Without Evidence
By Douglas Penick
You should know this. Let me tell it. It's the story of a world. Listen.
Beneath the baking sun, amid timeless deserts where sands spread to the horizon like boiling seas, He arose, sparkling with fugitive beads of moisture, as a whirlwind in a fiery dust storm.
And that was how it started.
Then this Nameless One, consumed by longing, found hidden veins of water beneath the earth and brought them to the surface in the springtime. From these small meandering streams, he made clay. He formed small pellets, and scattered them. From these seeds grew the grasses and stunted trees that rose up near the shallow lakes. He scattered larger clay pellets, and they became the larvae of the butterflies that gathered in the scant grasses near these ponds. Larger pellets became the eggs of geese, ducks, cranes, hawks and other birds that nested in the trees. Then, from sand, water, heat and from his very breath, the Nameless One formed mankind. From sand and water and heat and wind, the Nameless One made animals in great herds for men and women to eat and to use for transport across the endless wastes that were the only home that they would ever know.
In early summer of that first year, the winds died down. The whirling air with its sand and heat and small drops of water, that for a moment had given life to the Nameless One, dropped. This Nameless God was no more. Save for the short- lived creatures he had made, no mark of his passage or purposes, if any, remained.
Inevitably then, they had to continue. I'm not making this up.
Abandoned in the scorching heat, and condemned to an endless struggle merely to survive, these children of a Nameless God pined for whoever had made them. They called on their forbears living and dead, asking them to beg for his power and for his return. They prayed, and there was no reply.
Thus they knew that only in the names and shapes they made would there be any evidence of their passage in this unforgiving world, for in the smooth sands of the desert, there was only extinction. They shaped what they could and they gave things names.
Wherever they went, they made round mud huts and marked the boundaries of their villages with square mud walls. They scarred their faces with lines resembling the furrows of their meager crops. They made their earth colored garments with raised seams in the patterns of the faint stream beds. They marked their time with knots on smooth cord and wove these into their clothing. They painted their clothes with the shapes of water, rains, streams, vapors, clouds and hidden water veins and the maps showing where they and all the birds and moths and antelope and bison that they fostered might be found.
These kinds of omnivorous activities, had to lead to some more specific kind of event, the kind of thing we like to call: fate.
In all their desperate searching for a place of rest, these people encountered only one true miracle. Digging for water in a place where they knew it flowed beneath the sand, one amongst them, a man whose name is now forgotten, found in the muddy pool he had dug nineteen large gold nuggets. These nuggets emerged from the brown water and shone like the sun. As objects, they seemed the like the soul of this peoples' life, shaped as it was by the unrelenting sun. The man who found these nuggets acquired the knack of finding more, and his children learned to hammer the gold so that it could be worn. They sewed plates of gold onto their garments. They became rulers, and for many generations they guided their people in their journeys across the sands.
And fate, as we all know, cannot help but provoke annihilation.
Still, these people knew no place of rest and moved across the desert following the seasonal ebb and flow of shallow streams, lakes and hidden water-courses. Then they encountered their only one true disaster.
As they looked out from behind the low mud walls of their temporary village, they saw a band of men riding on horses out of a whirlwind. Such beasts were unknown to them, nor did these people know that any other beings formed like themselves, perhaps the offspring of other gods or created in some other way, existed. Their terror was immense.
The tribe of nomads however had encountered many other kinds of men and women. They saw the gleaming gold on the ruler's tabard and they knew its value in trade. They attacked the village and seized the gold. Men, women and children, they slaughtered all the children of the Nameless One. These people thus vanished from the earth just as had the unknown god who made them.
You may ask me: How do you know this?
How, I reply, could this not be true.

CBC ordered to cough up secret documents
Broadcaster can't withhold them from information czar, court rules.

CBC has lost the latest round in its battle to keep some internal information secret, particularly from rival private broadcaster Sun Media.
Federal courts have ruled that the public broadcaster can't withhold documents requested under Access to Information legislation from the information commissioner, who has been trying to get copies in order to make a ruling on whether they have to be released to the parties wanting them.
Thirteen of the 16 cases at issue are requests filed on behalf of Sun Media.
The ruling also comes at a time when the CBC has come under increasing attack from Conservative MPs.
The Canadian Press has the story:
OTTAWA -- The CBC has lost another key court battle in its efforts to keep internal documents secret.
The Federal Court of Appeal unanimously ruled against the public broadcaster Wednesday, saying the CBC is legally required to turn over material for review by the information commissioner of Canada.
The case involved 16 requests for information the CBC said it did not have to provide. It cited a provision in the law that allows it to protect certain journalistic, creative and programming material.
The broadcaster also refused to allow information commissioner Suzanne Legault to examine the documents to review its decision, after requesters complained.
Legault took the case to Federal Court, winning in 2010 and winning again Wednesday after the CBC appealed.
There was no immediate word on whether the public broadcaster will further appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada.
CBC became subject to the Access to Information Act in September 2007, and has since been flooded with hundreds of requests, many from a law firm representing Sun Media.
The law, passed in 2006, provided the broadcaster a limited exclusion to protect information that "relates to its journalistic, creative or programming activities.''
CBC argues that the withheld material does fall under this exclusion, and that even the information watchdog -- who is bound to keep secret any material she sees -- should not be allowed to examine the documents.
A Federal Court judge in 2010 found that the legal wording of the CBC exclusion, Section 68.1 of the Access to Information Act, "is not, shall we say, a model of clarity.''
However, the judge also ruled the CBC should not sit in judgment on its own decisions to withhold information under Section 68.1, and that the information commissioner has the right to review them by looking at the documents.
The three-judge court of appeal agreed.
The 16 requests at issue in the court dispute cover a broad range of material. Some examples:
- "a copy of the audits of last three Olympics performed by Deloitte Touche or equivalent auditing organizations.''
- "a copy of all records on the costs of running the contest to find the new Hockey Night in Canada theme song.''
- "a copy of all records concerning the handover of the position of CEO from Mr. Robert Rabinovitch to Mr. Hubert T. Lacroix.''
Thirteen of the 16 cases cited were requests filed by Ottawa legal expert David Statham on behalf of Sun Media.
The public broadcaster has been waging a two-front war on access to information, losing twice in the courts and currently under fire by Conservative MPs and some witnesses at a House of Commons committee examining CBC's performance in respecting the act.
The CBC is among some 70 Crown corporations and agencies that were brought under the Access to Information Act soon after the Conservatives first won office in 2006 on a campaign of accountability.
The Access to Information Act allows anyone resident in Canada to ask for information under the control of the federal government for an initial $5 fee.

AP US History: Standards from Periods 3 and 4
The competition among the British, French, and American Indians for economic and political advantage in North America culminated in the Seven Years' War (the French and Indian War), in which Britain defeated France and allied American Indians.
Colonial rivalry intensified between Britain and France in the mid-18th century, as the growing population of the British colonies expanded into the interior of North America, threatening French– Indian trade networks and American Indian autonomy.
After the British victory, imperial officials' attempts to prevent colonists from moving westward generated colonial opposition, while native groups sought to both continue trading with Europeans and resist the encroachments of colonists on tribal lands.
The ideals that inspired the revolutionary cause new beliefs about politics, religion, and society that had been developing over the course of the 18th century.
E The American Revolution
and the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence reverberated in France,
Haiti, and Latin America, inspiring future independence movements.
Key Concept 4.3 — The U.S. interest in increasing foreign trade and expanding its national borders shaped the nation's foreign policy and spurred government and private initiatives.
Struggling to create an independent global presence, the United States sought to claim territory throughout the North American continent and promote foreign trade.
Following the Louisiana Purchase, the United States government sought influence and control over North America and the Western Hemisphere through a variety of means, including exploration, military actions, American Indian removal, and diplomatic efforts such as the Monroe Doctrine.
Frontier settlers tended to champion expansion efforts, while American Indian resistance led to a sequence of wars and federal efforts to control and relocate American Indian populations.
