Great Britain & Commonwealth Realms
Unidentified WWI-era Major-General's coat
By TS Allen, November 20, 2016 in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
TS Allen
Hello GMIC,
I recently acquired a lovely WWI-era Major-General's lightweight summer or tropical tunic. Photos are enclosed. I'm hoping to identify its original owner.
The thing that's given me trouble is the ribbon bar, which would be the key to identifying who this belonged to. So far, this is what I've figured out:
Ribbon 1: Either Victoria Cross or Order of the Bath.
Ribbon 2: Order of St. Michael and St. George?
Ribbon 3: Queen's South Africa Medal
Ribbon 4: 1914-1915 Star
Ribbon 5: Unknown. Looks like the Order of the Crown of Italy?
It's curious that there is no British War Medal or Victory Medal here. This suggests to me that the tunic was last in wear in between the introduction of the 1914-1915 Star in December of 1918 and the introduction of the War Medal in July of 1919, a relatively short period, although please let me know if I'm wrong to think that. I was not able to find the Army List for the first quarter of 1919 online anywhere, unfortunately, but if anyone knows where to find a version that is searchable by text (rather than by name) please advise. Although the combination of VC/GCB/KCB/CB, GCMG/DCMG/CMG and his campaign medals is probably not terribly unique, I am hopeful I will be able to identify him thanks to the unusual (foreign?) decoration at the end of his bar.
Can anyone assist me in figuring out what the ribbons are exactly and who wore them?
T.S.A.

I cannot help you, but it looks to be a WWI period tunic. A fine thing to own IMO.
Location:St. Petersburg
The VC ribbon is normally worn with a miniature of the cross sewn to it; hence, this is probably the Bath.
Thanks for the information. I think I have all the puzzle pieces now. I've given some thought to the final ribbon and decided it is almost certainly the Order of the Crown of Italy. Sir Ernest Shackleton's ribbons, which were mounted around the same time, have a ribbon that looks about the same from that decoration (ref http://www.christies.com/features/From-the-Land-of-the-Mist-and-Snow-Sir-Ernest-Shackletons-medals-6483-1.aspx). Now time to slowly work through the Army List for the second quarter of 1919 (http://deriv.nls.uk/dcn23/8809/88091116.23.pdf) and see who fits the puzzle!
More soon, I hope!

This tunic has now been passed to me...welcome any additional thoughts, thanks, Paul

Why there isn't BWM and VM ribbon? Last ribbon is Canada General Service or Italian Order of the Crown? Anyway, next to the 1914 or 1914-15 Star ribbon there should be British War medal ribbon and Victory medal ribbon and not this one.
This uniform likely has the 1914-1915 Star ribbons but not the other standard Great War ribbons because the ribbons were put on between December 1918 when that medal was awarded and July 1919 when the British War Medal was awarded. The Victory Medal was not awarded until September 1919.

It is worth pointing out that it could equally be the ribbon for the 1914 Star, as it is identical to that of the 1914-15 Star (and quite likely a better contender given the officers previous military service and high rank).

Can you please give a reference to support this statement. I have examined the documents at The National Archives relative to the design, manufacturing and issuance of the Great War Victory Medal (WO 32/4961 and WO 32/8987) and these indicate that a specimen Victory Medal was transmitted to the War Office on 14 April 1920 and the King approved the award on 16 April 1920. Due to numerous design problems the first Victory Medals were awarded on 25 May 1920 to the King and eight officers: Lieut. Generals Macready, Clarke, Macdonoch, Wilson, and DuCane, Major General Harrington, Lt. Col. Childs and Maj. Frith. Please see my three articles on the WWI Victory Medal in the Journal of the Orders and Medals Research Society.
Obviously the ribbon was available earlier.
Hello , the last ribbon could be that of the Italian Order of the Crown . it was awarded to foreigners too . regarding to the owner of the tunic is reasonable to think in a Major General destinated in the British component of the Italian Expeditionary Force sent to Italy after the Defeat of Caporetto. five British Divisions at the peak

Great resource for students (or teachers) wanting additional practice of math skills. After account is setup, a student takes a pre-test and then is placed on an individually designed course to help them progress. It goes from basic math to advanced.
Great blog from an algebra teacher here in the state. She has lots of activities and printables available.
Good visual for our students regarding different types of slope. This was taken from the math=love blog. If you want more info on how to utilize this picture, search "slope tree" on that blog.
Good visual for our students regarding different types of slope. The left eye is a positive slope. The right eye is a negative slope. The nose is undefined. The mouth is a slope of zero. This was taken from the math=love blog. If you want more info on how to utilize this picture, search "slope guy" on that blog.
Good visual and activity for our students regarding different types of slope. Teacher would have students go through each section of a letter and determine what slope that section is. This was taken from the math=love blog. If you want more info on how to utilize this picture, search "alphabet slope" on that blog.
Another great activity to use with class when learning about the concept of slope.
Good ideas on how to teach adding and subtracting integers.
Site that is ran by curriculum specialists at the State Department of Education. They are emphasizing the change to Common Core State Standards and giving lots of great ideas to adjust teaching accordingly.
Great way to stay connected to what many Oklahoma math educators are doing in their classrooms. (You must request to join the group. So, you should have something on your profile that mentions that you are a math educator or educator in general.
This math website has GED math broken down from simple to complex, with free math worksheets that can be printed.
Writing prompts that are broken up into 1-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute prompts. Could be great to use as a warm-up activity.
Kuta Software is a great site to have students practice or reinforce basic skills pertaining to Algebra or Geometry.
Current events website. It has vocabulary words and questions (account required).
Timeline of the Unites States. It concurrently shows history of states, territories, presidents, society, Native Americans, the world, science, and culture.
Ten-minute movie that slowly walks student through major US historical events from 1780-1950. Students can pause and rewind movie. Timeline at bottom and states can be "clicked" on.
Website with civics-related lessons that summarizes main points. Most lessons have questions, quizzes, or other activities at the end. While somewhat basic, the lessons might be a good introduction into a topic or event for certain students.
This site has many creative writing prompts that will get your class thinking, discussing, and writing about various topics.
These essays are from a foreign univesity. Some of them could be used as examples to teach from. The argumentative essays are good, basic examples to use to have our students practice determining "which essay is better supported" and using "relevant and specific evidence" from the text.
This link talks about how to incorporate evidence into your writing. It gives good examples and bad examples.
Handout that gives students evidence and has them determine appropriateness.
Five maxims of quality evidence.
Shows how to support an argument with evidence. Could be good to use in identifying evidence or in practicing the selection and usage of it in students' writing.
This was taken from the mathequalslove blog. If you want more information, check out this page to see how that teacher used this activity. You will need to scroll down to the bottom to find it.
This is a great worksheet to walk your students through after they have done the two activities above. Students are introduced to how experiments are set up and conducted. They have to identify the control group (good vocab word), Ind & Dep variables, and draw conclusions based on the data. Also, talking with students on how to improve the experiments is a great discussion topic.
Website has free typing games that are somewhat fun and engaging. Students can adjust the difficulty and amount of letters they must type.
Website that has a list of basic computer skills curriculum.
Goodwill Community Foundation has a plethora of lessons and topics ranging from technology, math, employment, money, and social media.
This four question survey is something you can use to get a feel for how effective you are being as an instructor. It can also give you insight into topics or concepts that you need to teach or review. Feel free to add to or change the wording as you see fit. Like the other resources, it's a good place to start and can/should be added to or tweaked to fit your class.

Q: Drawing to a BufferedImage sometimes, but consistently, yields wrong colors I've written a program to modify images.
First, I get the image, and get its drawing context like this:
BufferedImage image;
try {
    image = ImageIO.read(inputFile);
} catch (IOException ioe) { /* exception handling ... */ }

Graphics g = image.createGraphics();

And then I modify the image like this:
for (int x = 0; x < image.getWidth(); x++) {
    for (int y = 0; y < image.getHeight(); y++) {
        g.setColor( /* calculate color ... */ );
        g.fillRect(x, y, 1, 1);
    }
}

After I've finished modifying the image, I save the image like this:
try {
    ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", save.getSelectedFile());
} catch (IOException ioe) { /* exception handling ... */ }

Now most of the time this works just fine.
However, when I tried recoloring this texture

to this

I get this instead:

Inside the debugger, though, the Graphics's color is the shade of pink I want it to be.
The comments seem to suggest that the image the user opens might have some color limitations, and since I'm drawing to the same image I'm reading from, my program has to abide by these limitations. The example image seems to be pretty grayscale-y, and apparently its bit depth is 8 bit. So maybe the pink I'm drawing on it is converted to grayscale, because the image has to stay 8-bit?

A: As suggested in the comments, the main problem here indeed is the wrong color model. When you load the original image, and print some information about it...
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(
    new URL("https://i.stack.imgur.com/pSUFR.png"));
System.out.println(image);

it will say
BufferedImage@5419f379: type = 13 IndexColorModel: #pixelBits = 8 numComponents = 3 color space = java.awt.color.ICC_ColorSpace@7dc7cbad transparency = 1 transIndex   = -1 has alpha = false isAlphaPre = false ByteInterleavedRaster: width = 128 height = 128 #numDataElements 1 dataOff[0] = 0

The IndexColorModel does not necessarily support all the colors, but only a subset of them. (Basically, the image supports only the colors that it "needs", which allows for a more compact storage).
The solution here is to convert the image into one that has the appropriate color model. A generic method for this is shown in the following example:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class ImageColors
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(
            new URL("https://i.stack.imgur.com/pSUFR.png"));

        // This will show that the image has an IndexColorModel.
        // This does not necessarily support all colors.
        System.out.println(image);

        // Convert the image to a generic ARGB image
        image = convertToARGB(image);

        // Now, the image has a DirectColorModel, supporting all colors
        System.out.println(image);

        Graphics2D g = image.createGraphics();
        g.setColor(Color.PINK);
        g.fillRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
        g.dispose();

        ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", new File("RightColors.png"));
    }

    public static BufferedImage convertToARGB(BufferedImage image)
    {
        BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(
            image.getWidth(), image.getHeight(),
            BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        Graphics2D g = newImage.createGraphics();
        g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
        g.dispose();
        return newImage;
    }
}

NMSU student, professor launch volunteer project to assist Afghan refugees in NM

(NMSU photo by Josh Bachman)
Hiba Muhyi was preparing to begin her senior year at New Mexico State University when horrific images from across the world started to appear on the news.
Just before the fall semester at NMSU, the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in an uprising that plunged the country into chaos and sent thousands of Afghans fleeing for their lives.
Watching the situation unfold from afar, Muhyi and her mother, Rajaa Shindi, sprang into action.
Muhyi, an English major, and Shindi, an assistant professor of accounting and information systems in the College of Business, started mobilizing students and organizations across NMSU to assist Afghan refugees resettling in southern New Mexico. Together, the mother-daughter duo launched the NMSU Afghan Refugee Response project.
"As a child of immigrant parents, I'm naturally passionate about these sorts of topics and helping communities that are very similar to my own," Muhyi said.
The project initially began as a call for volunteer translators, Muhyi said, but has since morphed into a more ambitious effort to assist long-term refugees in collaboration with the Las Cruces Muslim community, Afghan Refugee Crisis Committee, Diocesan Migrant and Refugee Services, and Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains.
Since late August, Muhyi said, more than 80 volunteers have come together to support the refugee project in various ways, from donating goods to serving as cultural mentors and translators. The group has collected more than 100 household items to furnish several temporary apartments for displaced Afghan families, Muhyi added, and the donations keep coming in.
"It's been much more than just furniture donations," Shindi said. "Our volunteers are helping these families learn English, apply for jobs, enroll their kids in school and adapt to a new society. There are so many things that they need right now, and our volunteers are making a meaningful difference in supporting Afghan refugees at a time when they need help."
Muhyi said the outpouring of support from the NMSU community has surpassed her expectations.
"We've had such a great response from department heads, professors, presidents of student organizations and others asking what can they do either as an individual or a group to assist with the refugees," she said. "We've had a variety of people who are willing to do whatever they can to help and assist."
Muhyi praised several campus groups for contributing to the project, including the NMSU chapter of the Association of Information Technology Professionals, Pre-Pharmacy Society, Pre-Dental Society, Black Student Organization, Student Social Work Association and the English Graduate Student Organization.
Currently, Muhyi is hosting a winter coat and blanket drive-in collaboration with the Pre-Pharmacy Society and Pre-Dental Society. Those interested in donating coats or blankets can drop off items in designated boxes in Hardman and Jacobs Undergraduate Learning Center and Aggie Lounge in Corbett Center Student Union through Friday, Dec. 10, Muhyi said.
Last month, Muhyi and Shindi toured an Afghan refugee camp at Fort Bliss and met other volunteers helping to resettle families.
"We got to meet some of the countless volunteers helping with donation sorting and assisting at the multiple store sites, where free clothes, shoes, infant food, and other items are provided and distributed to the refugees," Muhyi said. "But there is still a great need for dedicated volunteers and donations."
Muhyi said the most-needed items include school supplies, closed-toe shoes, children and infant winter clothes, men's and women's winter clothes, and hygiene items. To donate through the NMSU Afghan Refugee Response project, contact Muhyi at hmuhyi@nmsu.edu.
For Muhyi, overseeing the project has been a time-consuming but rewarding experience.
"It's been challenging but worth all the efforts and long hours," she said. "It's very much a team effort, however. I want to thank Dr. Shindi, the NMSU community and all our volunteers for their support and assistance in helping these families."

Great Instructable, especially for beginners like me. I did encounter some confusion however, looking for 'Presensibilized' epoxy boards, as per the link in Step 1. After some trouble, I do now realize what was meant was 'Presensitized' epoxy boards. Maybe a correction there will prevent trouble for other Newbies like myself in the future, who are just learning the difference between a PC board and a snowboard.

How do you bury the wiring and connector in granite, without the neccessity of acquiring an expensive drill and drill bit? The fact that the electrical connection emerges from the mortar, definitely adds an element of coolness to this project.
Then why not just save yourself the grief of mixing up concrete, and construct the project from wood, metal or plastic. The project would be covered up by ugly solar panel anyways.
I appreciate your ingenuity, but why not just buy one of those tiny motor from China for $5. With the tiny matching brass drill chuck and a set of tiny bits it will still cost you less than $20, and they are so quiet you can drill all night next to a sleeping spouse. And they run off just a few volts.

Life's three certainties: death, taxes and fights over legal professional privilege
Angus Macinnis, Director of Dispute Resolution at Stevens Vuaran Lawyers, discusses a recent comment from ATO Commissioner Chris Jordan about the Tax Office's divergent view on what advice is protected by legal professional privilege.
"ATO targets legal privilege", cries the front page of a recent Australian Financial Review, neatly bringing together the second and the third of life's certainties (the first certainty being one with which we try not to concern ourselves unduly here at Worth Knowing at Stevens Vuaran Lawyers).
The article quotes ATO Commissioner Chris Jordan as having said in March that "[the ATO's] understanding of what advice is subject to legal professional privilege significantly differs from the position taken by some taxpayers and their advisers", and, "we expect that these different views as to the scope of legal professional privilege will be tested shortly". That expectation may shortly become reality, with reports that mining company Glencore has commenced proceedings in the High Court of Australia seeking to prevent the ATO from using documents obtained as part of the "Paradise Papers" leak (on the basis of a claim by Glencore that the documents are subject to legal professional privilege).
A number of issues need to be considered in relation to the creation, and maintenance, of legal professional privilege in relation to taxation advice. The first is that legal privilege relates to communications from lawyers, so that if the advice is not given by a lawyer (even where it concerns legal matters) it is all but impossible for the advice to be privileged.
The difficulties that this creates were identified in 2007 by the Australian Law Reform Commission, in its report, "Privilege in Perspective: Client Legal Privilege in Federal Investigations". That Report recommended the creation of a special privilege for "tax advice documents", being "confidential documents created by independent professional accounting advisors for the dominant purpose of providing taxpayers with advice about the operation and effect of tax laws". However, no legislative response to the Report ever eventuated.
The second issue is that care is needed when the advice is provided by in-house lawyers, because to attract privilege, it will be necessary for an in-house lawyer to show both that they are sufficiently independent of their client/employer, and also to show that in giving the advice, they are acting as a lawyer and not as the client's "man of business" (to use an expression coined by the House of Lords in 2004). There are a number of factors which are relevant to establishing independence, but they were helpfully summarised by former Federal Court judge Peter Graham as follows:
"If the responsibility of the in-house counsel is to say, without fear or favour, "no" and be respected for it, then the in-house counsel has sufficient independence to render documents to which privilege would attach".
The third issue is that privilege (if it has been successfully created) will be lost in relation to advice given in furtherance of "the commission of a fraud" or the commission of criminal or civil penalty offences. "Fraud" has been defined widely (some synonyms include, "dishonesty", "lack of probity", and "trickery and sham contrivances") and privilege will be lost if the client has a fraudulent purpose even if the lawyer was unaware of that purpose. The cases make it clear that although legal privilege is a substantive right which is not "lightly to be overthrown", the law is also assiduous to ensure that privilege is not used as a cloak for fraud.
The importance of the ability to obtain privileged legal advice as a substantive right (and even, at least according to former High Court Justice Michael Kirby, as a human right) has been frequently emphasised. However, the importance of the right does not mean that it is easy to either create or maintain. If ATO Commissioner Chris Jordan is correct in saying that there is a significant divergence of views about the effect of legal professional privilege in relation to tax advice, then it cannot be said that the High Court decision will be able to be predicted with the certainty of death or taxes. However, what is certain is that taxpayers and their advisers can act now to ensure that their understanding of legal professional privilege, and its consequences, is sound.
Angus Macinnis has a broad commercial practice with a focus on dispute resolution, and in particular, on employment and work health and safety law, and intellectual property law. He advises employers and employees on all aspects of employment law, from drafting contracts and employment policies, to dealing with employment related disputes, to dealing with employment and safety regulators.
He has a particular interest in the employment law aspects of social media use and has published in this area in publications including the Law Society Journal, The New Lawyer, and the Internet Law Bulletin, as well as providing regular contributions to AHRI's HRM Online website. He is a regular speaker at conferences for MCLE providers including the Law Society of New South Wales and the University of New South Wales and also provides training to employer clients in areas including anti-discrimination law.
In the intellectual property area, Angus advises in relation to copyright and trade mark disputes, as well as "trade dress" and passing off disputes. Contact Angus at [email protected]. You can also connect with Angus via Twitter

Competent and confident leaders are a prerequisite to training ready units. Leader training and leader development are integral parts of unit readiness. Leaders are soldiers first and must be technically and tactically proficient in basic soldier skills. They are also adaptive, capable of sensing their environment, adjusting the plan when appropriate and properly applying the proficiency acquired through training.
Leader training is an expansion of these skills that qualifies them to lead other soldiers. As such, the doctrine and principles of training leader tasks is the same as that for any other task. Leader training occurs in the institutional Army, the unit, the combat training centers, and through selfdevelopment. Leader training is a part of leader development.
Leader development is the deliberate, continuous, sequential and progressive process, grounded in Army values, that grows soldiers into competent and confident leaders capable of decisive action. Leader development comes from the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained through institutional training and education, organizational training, operational experience, and self-development. In always doing your best during training you are developing leader skills and attributes. But this won't be enough to provide the insight, intuition and judgment necessary in combat. Self-study and training is also essential. It begins with a candid assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and then, with your supervisor, develop a program to build on those strengths and minimize those weaknesses. Often this involves reading about leadership, military history, or MOS-related subjects, for example. But it also may include other activities, such as college or correspondence courses.
Another great resource available to help you in self-development and leaders for training subordinates is US Army Training and Doctrine Command's digital library at http://www.adtdl.army.mil/atdls.htm. The digital library database contains publications and additional information not included in your STP. You can access this information through the internet and through your Army Knowledge Online (AKO) account.

How do I get married in the Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church considers marriage a sacrament, and therefore takes marriage and the preparation for marriage very seriously. The Catholic parishes in Waterloo welcome the opportunity to celebrate this important decision with the couple, their families and friends.
A couple should contact the parish as soon as they decide to be married in the Catholic Church. As a general rule, couples should contact the parish at least six months before the marriage.
The pastor, or a parish staff person designated by the pastor, will meet with the couple to explain the preparation process and the documents which will be necessary in order for the marriage to take place. (For baptized persons, this includes a copy of your Baptismal Certificate and a Statutory Declaration of Freedom.)
In most parishes, an engaged couple will be asked to complete the FOCCUS Inventory, which helps couples identify and discuss important issues and attitudes that contribute to the success of married life. In some parishes couples will also be asked to participate in a marriage preparation program such as Engaged Encounter and/or to meet with a "Sponsor Couple."
According to Church law, any baptized Catholic has the right to be married in the Church as long as they are free to marry, are mature enough to enter into a marriage covenant, and are willing to accept responsibility for living in a sacramental marriage. Baptized persons (Catholic or non-Catholic) who have been previously married must obtain a Decree of Invalidity in order to be married in the Catholic Church.
Catholics may be married in a Catholic Church where they do not attend with the permission of the local pastor and the pastor of the parish in which they do participate.
• For information about being married in the Catholic Church, contact the parish office in the parish where you participate or plan to participate.

Taamusi Qumaq,  (January 1, 1914 – July 13, 1993) was an Inuit historian, linguist, writer, politician and elder from Nunavik, Québec, Canada who contributed to the preservation of the Inuit language and traditional culture. Despite lacking any formal schooling, Qumaq published two seminal works on the Inuit culture: a 30,000-word comprehensive Inuktitut dictionary and an encyclopedia on Inuit traditional customs and knowledge. He was fluent in Inuktitut only.

He understood Canadian and Quebec institutions and worked for their integration into Inuit lifestyle for the betterment of his community. He was a founding member of the first non-governmental coop in the Canadian Arctic, in 1956 in Puvirnituq. After contributing to the establishment of Rankin Inlet in the Northwest Territories, he returned to Puvirnituq in 1960 and founded its first village council and acted as its chair from 1962 to 1968.

From 1972 to 1977, he was a vocal opponent of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and the leader of Inuit Tungavingat Nunamini, a movement opposing the signature of the land claims settlement by the Northern Quebec Inuit Association. In 1983 he took part to the Quebec commissions on Aboriginal rights and on Nouveau-Québec's self-government.

In 2010, Presses de l'Université du Québec published his autobiography translated in French, Je veux que les Inuit soient libres de nouveau (I want Inuit to be free again). The autobiography was later re-released as a bilingual version in French and Inuktitut in 2020.

Name
The name Qumaq was originally an inuit mononym. In 1917, he was baptised and given the Christian name Taamusi (Thomas). Qumaq eventually became registered as his family name.

Early life
Qumaq was born on Niqsiturlik island near Inukjuak sometime in January 1914 to his nomadic parents. The family travelled by dog sled between Kuujjuarapik and Puvirnituq and hunted game such as walrus, seal, and fish. Qumaq's family also collected fox pelts to trade for European supplies at trading posts near Inukjuak and Puvirnituq. In 1920, his mother participated in the filming of Nanook of the North.

His father died in a boating accident when Qumaq was 13 years old. Without this teaching figure, Qumaq had to rely on other Inuit families to learn how to hunt and construct an igloo. He settled in 1931 in Puvirnituq with his siblings and mother.

Adult life
In 1937, he married his wife, Maina Milurtuq. Over the next few years, there were few animals and starvation abounded in his community, which was exacerbated by the concomitant closing of trading posts, the drop in value of fox pelts and the decrease in availability of commodities due to World War II. However, Qumaq was able to sustain his family and elders with the help of other hunters. Mail was flown in from Moose Factory to Inukjuak, and Qumaq was responsible from ferrying all the mail to Puvirnituq, Akulivik, Ivujivik, and Salluit on a single dog sled. He would bring the mail to Puvirnituq, after which it was picked up by another courier to be transported farther north.

Following the relocation of Inuit near Akulivik and Puvirnituq to Puvirnituq proper in 1952, and the establishment of social welfare, Qumaq began to work at the new Hudson Bay Company store for $150 per month. He travelled with members of the Hudson Bay Company in 1958 to establish a general goods store to the north of Churchill, Manitoba, but instead landed in Rankin Inlet due to bad weather, where he lived for two years.

1958 was also the beginning of prefab wooden houses in Puvirnituq. Previously, Inuit lived in igloos during the winter and tents during the summer. Upon his return to Puvirnituq, Qumaq constructed his house in 1960 and never built another igloo.

Political life
In 1961, an administrator of the department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Canada mandated that a village council be elected. Nobody campaigned for the position and no names were pre-written on the ballot. To his own surprise, Qumaq was elected as head of the village council.

He lobbied against the federal residential school that was established in 1958, eventually replacing it in 1969 by public vote 89 to 9 with a school run by the Quebec government where Inuktitut and Inuit culture would be taught, in addition to the primary topics in English or French.

He also supported the new Inuit cooperative general store founded in 1963, which would eventually become a federation of cooperatives across Nunavik in 1966. The cooperatives made money by selling soapstone carvings in the south and by selling commodities to the local Inuit.

Qumaq and representatives from all the other villages in Nunavik met with René Lévesque in Fort Chimo in 1964, where they discussed Inuit autonomy and place in Quebec society.

He oversaw the construction of houses to ensure everyone had a permanent residence to stay. In his life he witnessed the gradual appearance of motor boats, skidoos, and alcohol in the community.

The Lauras, by Sara Taylor*****
Posted on June 23, 2017 by seattlebookmama
"It doesn't do any good to just run away from something, you've got to be running to something."
Alex's mom has been hit one time too many by Alex's dad, and she wakes Alex up and says to get a few things together and get in the car. They're out of there. The rest of the story is an odyssey, both externally and internally, and within it, Alex comes of age. The story is beautifully crafted with gritty, nearly-tangible settings; however, it is the meticulous, absolutely believable characters that makes this story sing. It is the first outstanding work of fiction I've seen that features a transgender teen, and like so much great fiction, it provides an education to those of us that haven't known anyone that claims this identity. In fact, this book may become the Rubyfruit Jungle for trans people and those that care about them. I read this novel free and early, thanks to Net Galley and Crown Publishing; it's available to the public August 1, 2017.
Feminists have to cheer for Alex's mother, who Alex calls "Ma". Ma has a car, she has maps, she has some food, and she has Alex. When a state trooper pulls her over because both she and her car have been reported missing by Alex's father, Ma tells him point blank that the car is in her name, and that Alex is hers, not theirs. No, she doesn't need to come with him. No, she doesn't have to make a phone call. It wouldn't always play out this way for everyone, of course, but just seeing it work once, right here, is satisfying and it's credible. In fact, there's never a hole in the plausibility of this story, even though the events that unfold here are far from ordinary.
This trip, one that initially has a destination but turns into a wandering trek all across North America, gives Alex the first real taste of learning who Ma is. Any parent that has raised a teenager and has had a car understands the value of car talk. Both driver and passenger look straight ahead, and then sometimes things just naturally fall out of their mouths that otherwise would remain unsaid. Not having the money to keep a smart phone alive facilitates this even more; when there's nothing else to look at, the choices are talk; silence; and sleep.
And so Alex learns that Ma was raised largely in foster care, and the road trip provides a chance to trace back the string, to see the places life bounced her in and out of through adult eyes. Essentially, they are homeless much of the time, sleeping in the car, in the occasional down-at-the-heels motel, and every now and then alighting long enough to procure an apartment, though never the sort you'd want unless you were desperate. Sometimes she works; sometimes they steal; sometimes they are given a handout; still, they survive, and the trek goes on. And we see the disastrous failure of the public school system to accommodate a kid like Alex, who is expected to check either the male box on the enrollment form, or the female box, and whose refusal to do so is treated as a behavioral issue.
There are times in my notes when I find myself referring to Alex as "she", and it shows how ingrained our social system is, particularly for those of us that are older and have to work harder to think flexibly. At times I feel the same urge as those obnoxious school children Alex encounters in the story that want to know exactly what reproductive organ is inside Alex's pants, because when I was growing up, that was how we identified gender. But as I watched Alex's character take form within Taylor's deep, intimate prose, I found that knowing Alex as Alex was enough. We never learn what's between Alex's legs, and by the end of the book, it no longer matters. That's an accomplishment in and of itself.
As for Alex's future, it's a conundrum. What Alex wants most is for Ma to point the car toward home, toward Dad. Oh, please please please. It's the refrain of children the world over whose parents have split, children clinging to the illusion that if they are all reunited, everything will be fine. Oh, of course it will! And we know early in the story that this will never happen, and we don't want Ma to go back there. But Alex wants Ma, and Alex wants Dad. And this is a quandary that many readers will recognize as their own childhood longing.
One last word here is directed at teachers and parents. The literacy level here will be accessible to high school age students; however, there are sexual situations—as well as a sexual assault—and a lot of very profane language. If you wonder whether you want to put it on your shelf at school or home, get a copy and read it yourself first. I would have chosen to offer it to my own children when they were teens—they are grown now—but every family is different, and schools also have such a wide range of standards that you're better off using your own judgment.
That said, this pivotal novel is highly recommended.

The PM Writing Student Books provide students with opportunities to apply their developing knowledge of the text structure and language features of specific text types, during whole-class, small-group or individual writing sessions.
The Student Books reinforce the knowledge and skills taught in the Exemplars for Teaching Writing and the Levelled Exemplar Texts, supporting students as they move towards writing the key text types independently.
• an assessment for learning section, comprising pre-assessment for learning section, comprising per-assessment tasks that teachers can use to gather pre-assessment data to gauge students' readiness to complete initial tasks or move forward with the program.
• text type writing scaffolds for the four text types explicitly taught in the early years of schooling – Recount, Description, Information Report and Narrative. These writing scaffolds support students through the stages of planning & drafting, revising, editing and publishing helping them to write with success.
• activity pages designed to consolidate and extend students' knowledge of the text structure and the language features of each key text type.

David Gallo Co-authors Amicus Brief in Eleventh Circuit Case Regarding Standards for Vacating International Arbitration Awards
August 31, 2022 – Publications | Arbitration Blog
David Gallo, along with Glenn Hendrix of Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, authored an amicus brief urging the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold Circuit precedent barring courts from vacating international arbitration awards rendered in the U.S. under domestic vacatur standards. The amicus brief was submitted on August 15, 2022 on behalf of the Atlanta International Arbitration Society (AltAS) in the case of Corporación AIC, SA v. Hidroelectrica Santa Rita S.A., 20-13039. The Court accepted AtlAS's amicus brief on August 26, 2022.
In May of this year, a three-judge Eleventh Circuit panel in Corporación reluctantly held that the Federal Arbitration Act's Chapter 1 domestic standards for vacatur (see 9 U.S.C. § 10) do not apply to an international arbitration award issued in the U.S., finding itself bound by the Circuit's earlier Industrial Risk decision that held the same. But the panel signaled that en banc reconsideration may be appropriate to determine whether the Eleventh Circuit is out of step with the U.S. Supreme Court and its sister Circuits. The losing party promptly accepted the invitation and moved for en banc reconsideration.
In opposing reconsideration, AtlAS argued that the relevant federal statutes, as well as leading commentary and business considerations, compel the conclusion that Industrial Risk was correctly decided and that international arbitration awards issued the U.S. may only be vacated on the grounds set forth in Article V of the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, which has been incorporated into U.S. law at Chapter 2 of the Federal Arbitration Act. For this reason, AtlAS asked the Court to leave Industrial Risk in place and decline the request for en banc reconsideration of its Corporación decision.
About the Arbitration Blog
This blog is a user-friendly resource for businesses and individuals who find themselves faced with issues involving arbitration. Perhaps you want to include an arbitration clause in your contract, or you are being asked to sign a contract with an arbitration clause. Maybe a dispute has arisen and you want to begin arbitration proceedings but you are not sure whether your arbitration clause covers the dispute (hint: it usually does). Perhaps you received a subpoena for documents in connection with an arbitration in which you are not otherwise involved. This blog provides you with answers to simple questions and will help you ask the right questions when confronted with more complex issues.
Among other topics, we cover how to draft an arbitration clause and what to expect in arbitration proceedings. We discuss the differences and similarities among arbitrations governed by Georgia law, federal law, and international law. We explore—in layman's terms, whenever possible—the Georgia Arbitration Code, the Federal Arbitration Act, transnational law, and decisions from Georgia's state courts, Georgia's federal district courts, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, the U.S. Supreme Court, and foreign tribunals. We provide toolkits and checklists you can use to navigate everyday arbitration issues. We discuss the various contexts and industries in which we have handled arbitration issues for our clients, including:
Closely Held Company Shareholder Disputes
