Q: how do you select all tables and all field in mysql? My database have four tables i.e physics, chemistry, biology and maths respectively.   Every table has the same column names like studentName, registrationNumber, mark.
My question is when I search with registrationNumber I want to get every fields of mark in every table.  How can I query such a way?  Please explain it with simple example.  Thanks in advance (this example is only for the problem presenting purpose only)

A: I agree with @NareshKumar that normalization is one option.  But if you must use your current schema you could do a UNION query:
SELECT studentName, registrationNumber, mark, 'physics' AS class
FROM physics
WHERE registrationNumber = N
UNION ALL
SELECT studentName, registrationNumber, mark, 'chemistry' AS class
FROM chemistry
WHERE registrationNumber = N
SELECT studentName, registrationNumber, mark, 'biology' AS class
FROM biology
WHERE registrationNumber = N
SELECT studentName, registrationNumber, mark, 'maths' AS class
FROM maths
WHERE registrationNumber = N

A: It seems we've had the same idea with @Tim Biegeleisen and he did it better, so I will just redirect you to his answer.

A: You should use normalization to store the marks in single table instead of making different table for each subject    Normalization

Q: How to specify a position in a list and use it? Is there a way so that I could give a position in a list, e.g. 2 for the third value, and then directly use that position, e.g list.remove[2]?
For example:
Say my list was,
test = [0,1,2,3,2,2,3]

Is there a way so that if the user wanted to remove the 5th value, which is the middle 2, then you could just give  a position and use it directly. In this case, if I was to use test.remove(2) it would remove the first 2 that appeared in the list, so is there a way that I could say the middle 2's position and then remove it without touching the rest of the list?
Something like test.remove[2] would be a good idea to implement, the value in the [] being the position.

A: You can use list.pop:
>>> test = [0,1,2,3,2,2,3]
>>> test.pop(5)            #Removes the item and returns it as well
2
>>> test
[0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3]

or del:
>>> test = [0,1,2,3,2,2,3]
>>> del test[5]           #Only removes the item
>>> test
[0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3]

A: Sometime early on in my use of this resource someone suggested I learn how to use Python's introspection ability as that would often help answer my questions.  In your case
test =  [0,1,2,3,2,2,3]

To learn about the methods that test has I can do
dir(test)

The results are
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__', '__delslice__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__iadd__', '__imul__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__reversed__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__setslice__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'append', 'count', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove', 'reverse', 'sort']

Ignoring the items that begin with an underscore and using some language skills I want to understand whether pop or remove will help me so
help(test.pop)

Help on built-in function pop:

pop(...)
L.pop([index]) -> item -- remove and return item at index (default last).
Raises IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.

Note this is not a criticism of your question rather I hope this helps you understand that Python has some tools to help you understand features very efficiently.

A: The remove method exists specifically for searching by value. When you already know the index, you don't need it; just index the list directly.
To get the value by index, you don't use find, or otherwise search the list looking for a value that matches, you just do this:
value = test[2]

To replace a value by index, you don't use replace, or otherwise search the list, you just do this:
test[2] = new_value

And to delete a value by index, you don't use remove, or otherwise search the list, you just do this:
del test[2]

This is explained in the tutorial section on The del statement, but you really probably want to read that entire chapter on lists.

Don't Call Him the Gay Ambassador: Gérard Araud, France's Head Envoy to the U.S., Wants to Bring Diplomacy into the 21st Century
Photographed by Mehdi Lacoste
On a fall afternoon in Washington, D.C., Gérard Araud, France's new ambassador to the United States, is seated on a long white sofa in his office at the French Embassy, gushing about his "Irish beauty." The object of his affections is Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the United Nations, with whom he worked at his previous posting in New York. During an official meeting at the UN, Araud explains, he sent Power a very unofficial text: "On behalf of the French mission, I have to tell you: you are beautiful." "It was not very politically correct," Araud says, but the slip in decorum evidently did not bother Power. "She answered that that was one of the best messages she had ever received."
Adhering to political correctness isn't Araud's style, which makes him a rather unlikely diplomat—and a visible one. Only two months into the job, Araud has made a splash in Washington's staid social circles with his forthrightness and his fiery Twitter feed. He is so outspoken, in fact—on Gaza, on the World Cup, on Syria—that the detail which might otherwise have distinguished him most on Embassy Row has loomed irrelevant in the background: Araud is openly gay, one of few openly gay ambassadors Washington has ever hosted, and France's first.
"We are living in 2014," says Araud, who is 61, tall, thin, handsome, and, on this particular day, wearing a striped button-up by Charles Tyrwhitt, a charcoal gray suit, and cufflinks adorned with little raspberries. "We can't simply behave the way diplomats used to, whispering platitudes."
Araud's approach has earned him admirers, Ambassador Power among them. "Gerard highlights his texts of flattery, which were much appreciated, as they often landed just after drag-out arguments with the Russians over Ukraine," she said in an email. "But while I am nostalgic for his charming texts, what I miss more is watching him in action, as during his time at the UN he made it his mission to ensure innocent civilians around the world were protected from marauding thugs. Don't let his epic charm fool you—Gerard is a master strategist, a diplomatic and bureaucratic samurai, and one of the most authentic and authentically decent people ever to practice diplomacy."
Araud grew up in Marseille, graduated from France's top universities, and joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the early eighties. During his more than thirty-year career in diplomacy, he has served as France's ambassador to Israel, a Middle East expert for the French Embassy in D.C., and, most recently, as a permanent representative to the United Nations in New York. He assumed his current position in September. Almost as notably, it was in April of this year that Araud joined Twitter, a social platform not known for rewarding diplomatic temperaments.
"There is no definition of what is a diplomat," Araud says. "It's very much the projection of your personality, so I know myself. I was born on the Mediterranean coast. My shortcoming is that I am talkative, so I try to use it in a positive manner."
Araud's Twitter feed, which has a modest following of almost 7,000, is a zany stream of photographs of French tourist sites, links to stories about French art exhibitions, and Nietzsche quotes. But that's not all it is. Unlike other diplomats, who use Twitter mainly to broadcast official statements from their governments back home, Araud tweets back at his critics. He got into a war of words with Kenneth Roth, the head of Human Rights Watch, when Roth criticized France's alleged stance on Western Sahara. ("@KenRoth your message is wrong!" he tweeted, adding, "You rely on rumors and disinformation.") And he makes his opinions on foreign policy known. Here's an Araud tweet on Iraq: "The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was an unmitigated disaster of which the Iraqis and the international community are still paying the price." Here's one on Russia: "In foreign policy, you can win on the short term and lose on the long term. For instance, if you grab Crimea and lose Europe." And here's a retweet: "Americans killed by Ebola today: 0. Americans killed by ISIS today: 0. Americans killed by guns today: 86."
"The way I am working is not without risk," Araud says, letting out a spontaneous giggle and crossing his legs on a coffee table in front of him, on which a yellow toy car is parked. "From time to time, I am sweating." About social media in particular, Araud says, "It can be dangerous. From time to time, I've tiptoed the red line." . . . . People on one side are saying that diplomats should be much more open, should behave as normal people, but then the moment we do it, people ask why."It's been nearly three decades since Araud's first stint in Washington, as a counselor on Middle East issues in the late eighties, and he does concede that its culture has come a long way. "The city has developed and it's more sophisticated. In the eighties the city was basically only government. Everyone was sleeping, eating, loving, talking government. It was not a real city in a sense," he says. "Now it's a real city." He recently discovered a sushi bar in Georgetown that he likes, and dined at a French restaurant on Washington's newly trendy Fourteenth Street, aptly called Le Diplomate.
Araud is doing his part to update his corner of the city, with the official French residence undergoing what he describes as a "gut renovation." A Tudor Revival mansion built in 1910, the home that comes with the French ambassadorship is one of the most admired in Washington's tony Kalorama neighborhood. An invitation to the house, where Vanity Fair holds its lavish annual after-party following the White House Correspondents' Dinner, is among the most coveted in town, perhaps second only to the White House.
"Most of the people, even before saying hello, ask me when the residence will reopen," says Araud, who is currently living in a temporary house in the Foxhall neighborhood, or what he describes as "the middle of nowhere." "I have concluded not only that people don't really care about me, but more seriously, that they consider that the house is something that matters in Washington, D.C." The home will reopen in February, and Araud plans to have several parties to inaugurate its new look.
The fashion situation in his profession is another matter altogether, Araud says. He decries what he calls "the boxy suit" and "being a prisoner" to what people expect an ambassador to wear. "The clothing of the man is so sad," he says. "It's always a dark suit. I'm always looking for details to try to enhance it." In New York, Araud explains, he made a habit of advising his French colleagues on their suits. "They were obliged because I was the boss. We had real male vanity discussions in the corridors of the UN." The situation in New York has improved dramatically, he says. "You see less and less of these oversize suits, giving the impression that they are three sizes too big," he says. "In Washington, it's still the case." (This reporter couldn't help but notice an orange Hermès box on his desk, where it serves as a chic depository for business cards.)
Araud has a longtime partner, photographer Pascal Blondeau, with whom he shares homes in New York, Paris, and Greece. Though they've been together for nineteen years, they have no plans to marry. "I am not interested at this moment in marriage for myself," Araud says, "but I don't see any reason why anyone should be denied this right." He adds that the fight for marriage equality in France rattled him. "I thought my country was very enlightened, especially on sexual matters. I was totally astonished by the violence of the reaction of the opposition."
Blondeau will not act as an official host at embassy functions because "he's deadly bored by diplomatic niceties," Araud says. "He accepted only one invitation last year, by Susan Rice, because Susan was begging to meet him." As Araud carves out his new role in D.C., there's one thing he is sure of: He doesn't want to be known as the gay ambassador. "I don't want to be reduced to one dimension." Or as Araud likes to say: "Never insult a man's vanity. Especially a Frenchman's."

Austria begins its current history in about the 600s when the Bavarians took control over most of the land; however the rise of true power in Vienna didn't begin until the 1100s when the region surrounding Vienna became a Duchy. Also during this time Austria as a whole began to form as the king and his people remained outside the realm of what is today Germany in order to create an independent entity.
In the 1200s Austrian power grew as the political structure became more defined. In the late 1200s there was chaos in Austria until the first Hapsburg ruler came into the region to take control and rule the region. Initial Hapsburg rule was strict as the new ruling family had to weed out threats to their power and establish a new governmental structure. Over the next century the Hapsburg rulers were determined to maintain peace with both the Bohemians (Czechs) and Hungarians, which were their two biggest threats.
The 1400s experienced various wars with the invading Turks and multiple exchanges of power, eventually leading to the Hapsburgs taking the Holy Roman Empire crown. This enlargement of power continued in the 1500s, however wars separated Austria from much of Western Europe, but during this time the Hapsburgs assumed power over the Holy Roman Empire and hence, much of Europe. This was an advantage in many ways as Austria joined with both Bohemia (Czech territories) and Hungary to create a huge empire.
The 1600s experienced more wars, in particular the counter-reformation, the Thirty Years War, and further battles with the Turks. These wars again altered power as Austria became more of a nominal, rather than a direct ruler over much of Europe. The 1700s were much the same as Austria got involved in wars with the Russians, Swedes, Prussians, and French among others.
With the arrival of Napoleon in the early 1800s came more change. He brought with him a wave of excitement, fighting against the rule of monarchs and encouraged nationalism. This influence destroyed the Holy Roman Empire forever, but the Hapsburgs maintained their grip on power over Austria, although they too had lost much of their power.
After Napoleon's defeat, Austria experienced the industrial revolution, but also faced challenges from its people who sought greater freedoms and a voice in the government. The French Revolution in 1848 further damaged the Hapsburg Empire as the people began demanding an entirely new government. This created a parliament, but it was short lived as the Austrian and Hungarian monarchs unified to create a dual monarchy in order to satisfy the people and strengthen each other's control over their people. This union created a government in which the two countries operated fairly independently of each other, only sharing a few governmental branches.
Austria found itself as the center piece of World War I (WWI) when their Archduke was assassinated by a Serb nationalist in Sarajevo (in modern day Bosnia & Herzegovina). This war expanded across most of the continent and ended in Austrian defeat and the loss of their long standing royal family in addition to their union with Hungary.
At first, democratic rule in Austria was unstable and led to discontent and the eventual takeover of Austria by Germany in 1938, which some internal groups were pushing for and supporting of their native son, Adolf Hitler, who was himself Austrian. Other groups however, particularly in the Tirol region fought this and actually supported the Yugoslavs independence movement from Austria. Soon after this, World War II (WWII) began as both Germany and Austria were in economic shambles.
WWII became an "ethnic cleansing" in Austria as the Nazi party killed Jews simply for being Jewish. Well over 50,000 Austrian Jews were killed in the Holocaust during the war. This seems to have been the end of a long and inconsistent relation between the two groups, which historically went from working together to uprisings and massacres. At the end of the day, Austria again found itself on the losing side of the war, catapulting them to independence as a democratic country.
The new Austria declared itself neutral, they buried their past, and focused on economic growth and stability from the late 1940s until 1986 when a presidential candidate was accused of war crimes as a Nazi soldier. This led to the country digging up its past so it could move forward with its future and, a big part of this involved addressing the Holocaust.
Today, Austria is a modernized country and a leader within the European Union (EU) and the world. They work successfully with past enemies and their former occupied countries through communication and their continuing neutrality.

December 20, 2022 /in Updates /by Steve Jones
October 15, 2022, I spent the afternoon (and the following morning) visiting Auburn University's Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center, where I had last been in 1984 when I served as Alabama Land Manager for Union Camp Corporation. My visit served as a celebratory reunion. Rhett Johnson, who hosted my 1984 tour and served as Solon Dixon Director for 26 years, likewise hosted my October return. Emmett Thompson, Auburn Dean Emeritus, College of Forestry, Wildlife, and Environment, and his son-in-law Ken Pylant also accompanied us. I worked closely with Emmett, who was then Dean, when I served as Director, Alabama Cooperative Extension System 1996-2001.
My excitement for re-visiting the The Solon Dixon Center brought back lots of memories, renewed long friendships, and reignited my passion for longleaf pine, a forest type that once extended across 92 million acres from southeastern Virginia to east Texas.
America's Richest Forest
I left the Center with a signed copy of Rhett's (along with Bill Finch, John C. Hall, and Beth Maynor Young) Longleaf, Far as the Eye Can see, a coffee-table-quality treasure that I will cherish! The book carries a tantalizing subtitle: A New Vision of America's Richest Forest.
From the book:
In colonial times, the longleaf turned out to be very valuable for lumber and for the pitch, tar and turpentine made from the trees and believed to be the origin of North Carolina's moniker, "Tar Heel State." Eighteenth-century ships were made entirely of wood, and North Carolina was called upon to provide so-called "naval stores" including tar, pitch and turpentine that were used to keep ship bottoms waterproof and afloat.
Of course, much has changed in the South over the last 500 years. A survey conducted in 1996 by a Florida researcher found that less than 0.01 percent of the remaining longleaf pine forests could be considered old growth. This handful of virgin forests is a draw for scientists, serving as a benchmark for conditions prior to European settlement.
Only about one percent of their original range remains. Longleaf pine communities may have covered some 92 million acres across its natural range, but now fewer than 3 million acres remain.
Rhett updated the longleaf acreage numbers as we toured the property, indicating that the total acreage had dropped to 2.5 million and now, resulting from dedicated efforts across the south, stands at six million!
Longleaf is a long-lived species, kept vibrant with periodic fire. This stand may be two hundred years old, with widely-spaced overstory, scattered mid-story trees of lower age classes, and fire-dependant herbaceous ground vegetation.
William Bartram described such "high pine forests, dark and grassy savannas" from his wanderings 230 years ago. Well over 100 years ago, John Muir spoke of his travels in the longleaf forests:
"In 'pine barrens' most of the day. Low, level, sandy tracts; the pines wide apart; the sunny spaces between full of beautiful abounding grasses, liatris, long, wand-like solidago (goldenrod), saw palmettos, etc., covering the ground in garden style. Here I sauntered in delightful freedom, meeting none of the cat-clawed vines, or shrubs, of the alluvial bottoms."
The longleaf forest energizes me…reminds me of the two-century dynamic intersection of human and natural history as the new nation emerged in part by the thrust provided via a vast rich forest and the industry it supported. My own professional life launched and flourished during the 12 years I worked for Union Camp. Our company-owned Chapman Forest constituted 220,000 acres of intensively managed loblolly pine and associated hardwood stands in adjoining riparian areas in a five-county area of south-central Alabama, south of the black belt physiographic region. The loblolly had replaced original stands of longleaf. As a Fortune 500 paper and allied products manufacturing company, Union Camp's forest management emphasized fiber production, for which loblolly best satisfied the objective.
Our Chapman Forest offices in Butler County stood within an old growth longleaf grove, which included several federally endangered red cockaded woodpecker colony trees. The nests at our location had been excavated 60-70 feet high in live trees. The birds keep the sap flowing to ward off snakes and other predators from their eggs and young…and to trap tasty insects.

The forest type extended northward to the southeast Virginia coastal plain, yet I do not recall encountering longleaf pine on the forests I managed there during the seven years I worked with Union Camp in that region. I would love to have seen the vast longleaf forest that stretched across the South prior to European settlement.
The Solon Dixon Legacy
Rhett and Emmett shared stories of the Center's namesake. Rhett gave me a copy of The Dixon Legend. Mr Dixon was a genuine legend from another era, a man who loved the land and its pine, and who left a lasting legacy through Auburn University.
Emmet (center), Rhett, and I stand in front of Mr Dixon's family home, "built in the 1850's and moved to its current site in the 1870's." It is "framed with locally milled pine… The home features hand-planed boards on the walls and ceiling… Originally surrounded by outbuildings related to the Dixon's forestry operations, the Dixon home is now the center of the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center.
"Four generations of Dixons, each promoting the management of trees as a renewable resource, made their living in forestry on this ground, thereby contributing significantly to Alabama's economy and forest industry… Solon and Charles (Solon's brother), both raised in this home, became successful forest product industrialists and recognized conservationists."
"In 1978, Solon and his wife Martha, donated the land and a gift to Auburn University to build the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center. Solon stated at the dedication in 1979, "Standing on the very ground which our ancestors homesteaded many years ago, we see the beginning of a learning and research center which will last far beyond our lifetimes." The Solon and Martha Dixon Foundation Learning Center stands nearby.
A state of the art auditorium bears Rhett's name as well as Dean Gerstad, a now retired Auburn forestry faculty member who dedicated his professional life to advancing longleaf pine science and practice.
Many former Auburn forestry students recall their undergraduate summer at forestry camp, conducted at the Center under Rhett's tutelage. They all remember The Box where during Camp Rhett housed various and sundry snakes he collected on the property. I'm told that The Box served as the nexus for frequent snake-related harmless practical jokes!
Re-establishing Longleaf Pine
The Center and the allied Longleaf Alliance are striving to re-establish longleaf throughout its historic range. For example, the Bankhead National Forest in northwest Alabama, within the species' natural range, plans to eventually convert one third of its pine uplands to longleaf. Similar efforts are accelerating across south Alabama.
Late in the afternoon October 15, 2022, we visited an area where the Solon Dixon crews are converting a mixed mature forest to longleaf pine. Following timber harvest, staff employed herbicide and fire as site preparation before planting longleaf seedlings. The planted trees have completed two growing seasons.
Longleaf can spend 1-4 years in the grass stage (below left) before sending up a first "candle" (below right).
Below left Rhett is showcasing a vigorous individual that candled in season one. My three fellow observers are standing at the edge of the converted area. Older longleaf borders the new stand.
I recorded this 1:44 video at the longleaf-regenerated clearcut:
Lasting Evidence of a Dying Operation and Trade
As we approached noon October 16, I snapped this photo of a loblolly pine plantation adjacent to a mature longleaf stand, one old enough to retain turpentine faces from naval stores operations decades ago. From the Southern Forest Heritage Museum website:
Naval stores are a nearly forgotten legacy in the South, but throughout history nations have depended on them, sought them out, and fought wars over these resins from pine trees. These products—tar, pitch, turpentine, and rosin—long kept wooden ships of the world afloat and were found to provide other uses prior to the petrochemical dominance. Even with the decline in sailing ships, there has been an international demand for these products.
The story of naval stores is remarkable and messy, but the industry helped support much of the South's economy for nearly 400 years. Naval stores operations, which involved scoring the tree cambium, was slow to develop in Western Gulf states. The largest naval stores operations in these western states occurred following the harvest of the virgin pine forests. The resinous stumps that remained were harvested, chipped, and steamed to obtain the same chemicals that had been obtained by chipping live trees.
We stopped at this old stand at sunset our first day. An old naval stores face is visible at the base of the tree at the left margin.
This scar (below left) is callousing over, yet the sap drip collar is still present. The same tree stands at right, its coarse branching and flattened crown are typical of old longleaf.
Here is another scarred face with an aluminum nail for hanging the collection bucket under the drip collar. Below right shows yet another old face on a tree still vibrant enough to actively callous the old wound.
Back at the Center Rhett show us an interior view of a working face. The view is from the tree's perspective looking out to the scoring.
Here is another morning view into an old growth longleaf forest. This one appears to be overdue for a prescribed fire. An understory of woody vegetation has developed. I find the combination of forest, cerulean sky, and wispy cirrus irresistible.
Reuniting with Emmett and Rhett at the Solon Dixon Center, under the spectacular second morning sky, brought me squarely back to my forestry roots. My retirement wanderings have rewarded me over and over again. My eyes see far more today than they did during my younger, career-driven woodland explorations. In part, today I know well that Nature's beauty, magic, wonder, and awe often lie hidden in plain sight. I now know better how to look so that I may see…and understand. Seeing and understanding open the door to appreciation and inspiration. Inspiration is a portal to lifting my heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit.
I'm soothed, too, to see that Rhett's passion for our remarkable longleaf forests is expressed by his truck's license plate!
I'm grateful that Rhett and Emmett have dedicated their professional lives to endeavors like assuring that the Solon Dixon legacy lives on through future forestry and wildlife professionals.
When Judy and I visited the Center so long ago, our children were four and six years old. They will soon be 44 and 46. I am reminded of the words of Louis Bromfield, mid-20th-century novelist, who dedicated his life to rehabilitating his "old worn-out" Ohio Farm:
The land came to us out of eternity, and when the youngest of us associated with it dies, it will still be here. The best that any of us can hope to accomplish during our fleeting existence is to leave some small corner of the world better through wisdom, knowledge, and hard work.
I applaud Emmett and Rhett for their wisdom, knowledge, and hard work…and their unflagging passion!
Thoughts and Reflections
I offer these observations:
I am hopelessly addicted to stories of passion for special places.
And for special forest types, like longleaf pine.
The best that any of us can hope to accomplish during our fleeting existence is to leave some small corner of the world better through wisdom, knowledge, and hard work.
Inhale and absorb Nature's elixir. May Nature Inspire, Inform, and Reward you!

Reminder of my Personal and Professional Purpose, Passion, and Cause
If only more of us viewed our precious environment through the filters I employ. If only my mission and vision could be multiplied untold orders of magnitude:
Mission: Employ writing and speaking to educate, inspire, and enable readers and listeners to understand, appreciate, and enjoy Nature… and accept and practice Earth Stewardship.
People of all ages will pay greater attention to and engage more regularly with Nature… and will accept and practice informed and responsible Earth Stewardship.
They will see their relationship to our natural world with new eyes… and will understand more clearly their Earth home.
Tagline/Motto: Steve (Great Blue Heron) encourages and seeks a better tomorrow through Nature-Inspired Living!
Steve's Three Books
I wrote my books Nature Based Leadership (2016), Nature-Inspired Learning and Leading (2017), and Weaned Seals and Snowy Summits: Stories of Passion for Place and Everyday Nature (2019; co-authored with Dr. Jennifer Wilhoit) to encourage all citizens to recognize and appreciate that every lesson for living, learning, serving, and leading is either written indelibly in or is powerfully inspired by Nature.
I began writing books and Posts for several reasons:
I love hiking and exploring in Nature
I see images I want to (and do) capture with my trusty iPhone camera
I enjoy explaining those images — an educator at heart
I don't play golf!
I actually do love writing — it's the hobby I never needed when my career consumed me
Judy suggested my writing is in large measure my legacy to our two kids, our five grand kids, and all the unborn generations beyond
And finally, perhaps my books and Blogs could reach beyond family and touch a few other lives… sow some seeds for the future
All three of my books (Nature Based Leadership; Nature-Inspired Learning and Leading; Weaned Seals and Snowy Summits) present compilations of personal experiences expressing my (and co-author Dr. Wilhoit for Weaned Seals and Snowy Summits) deep passion for Nature. All three books offer observations and reflections on my relationship to the natural world… and the broader implications for society. Order any and all from your local indie bookstore, or find them on IndieBound or other online sources such as Amazon and LifeRich.

Pakistani painter.
The work of Zubeida Agha, who is regarded as "A Pioneer of Modern Art in Pakistan", is considered feminist, although she herself "hated the term feminist, and was quite angry with the Pakistani painters who identified with this appellation." But in an interview she conceded that "the sensitive delicacy of her color may owe something to her gender".
Born in 1922 in a town that later became part of Pakistan, Z. Agha studied Philosophy and Political Science at Lahore's prestigious all-women Kinnaird College. A recurring dream about painting prompted her to seek formal training in art at BC Sanyal studio in Lahore. Just as she was growing tired of the academic and more conventional style of painting at the Saniyal studios, she had the luck of meeting Mario Perlingieri, a former student of Picasso. M. Perlingieri was an Italian prisoner-of-war interned in Lahore introduced to Z. Agha by her brother, who was a bureaucrat and prominent art critic at the time. Under M. Perlingieri's tutelage Z. Agha learned to pursue her own inspirations and to paint an object's idea rather than its objective reality. In 1946, she showed her work for the first time, at a group exhibition at the Lahore Museum, and won awards for both painting and sculpture. Her stylized paintings with abstract titles, such as 'Wind', 'Wisdom', 'Metamorphosis' among others, consciously veered away from recognizable forms and displayed a sense of spiritual harmony. Her first solo exhibition, in Karachi in 1949, shook the foundations of the Pakistani audience's perception of art. Some were scandalized by what they called a complete lack of skill, while others were in awe of the strangely familiar shapes and forms which "established her as an exceptional colorist". 'The cotton pickers' and 'In the forest' are notable paintings from 1949. Here she reworked the figures several times "to arrive at a shape that was simple yet it captured the rhythm of movement and the mood of her subjects".
Agha won a scholarship to study painting at St Martin's, London in 1950. Within a year, she transferred to École des beaux-arts in Paris, where she was happier. In 1951-52 she held solo exhibitions at the Trafford Gallery, London, and Galerie Henri Tronche, Paris. Then, she returned to Karachi, where she held two more solo shows. In comparison to her earlier somber color palette, she started to employ more radiant and vibrant colors. The cityscapes painted between 1958 & 70 are full of lights, color and visual noise but devoid of any human presence "like a façade, a false front behind which lurked the emptiness of a wasteland". In 1961 she was appointed director of Contemporary Art Gallery in Rawalpindi. This gallery is believed to have shown works that were 'indisputably the best of its era" and laid the foundation for the Pakistan National Art Gallery and the Arts Council in Islamabad, during her sixteen year administration. She was awarded the President's Medal for Pride of Performance (1965), Quaid-e-Azam Award (1982), Shakir Ali Award (1983) and National Award for Lifetime Achievement in Art (1996). She retired from her formal duties in 1977 and settled in Islamabad, seeking peace and quiet in her work and hosting exclusive exhibitions of her work in her house. Her major solo exhibition was held in 1993 at the National Art Gallery in Islamabad.
Over the years she borrowed and reassembled human figures, horses, landscapes, cityscapes, flowers, objects, geometric shapes, planes and volumes, and strained herself to translate them into a subjective reality outside the realm of time and space. Though the imagery looks simple, joyous and peaceful Z. Agha recounts, "I am in agony when I paint. It is a total mental experience … The creative act is not only an emotional activity. It is only when the emotion is seized by the intellect that the painting starts taking an artistic shape". Her painting 'Beethoven's Fifth Symphony' remained a landmark for her throughout life and she would jokingly say that she wanted to paint the ninth as well but could only get a gramophone record of the fifth.
Agha lived the life of a recluse. Outside her role as the director of the gallery, she met no fellow artists, except Shakir Ali. In the final period of her life, she grew more inward, insisting on her privacy and discouraging family and friends from visiting too frequently. She never married, dedicating her whole life to the development of her art.

$5M gift to expand opportunities for Rowan's Honors students
Venture capitalist John H. Martinson has given a $5 million gift to provide additional opportunities to students in Rowan University's Honors College. The college has been renamed the John H. Martinson Honors College.
John H. Martinson believes in the power of university honors colleges.
Rowan University's Honors College is a sparkling gem, he says.
"I'm certainly impressed with the leadership, faculty and students of the Honors College," says Martinson, a venture capitalist and chairman of Martinson Ventures, based in Newtown, Pa.
"I'm eager to accelerate that progress."
Martinson, who has led 80 companies to phenomenal success in the software industry, founded Edison Partners in 1986, a company that has raised 10 partnerships in the financial technology, healthcare IT and interactive marketing sectors.
Now, through a gift of $5 million, he has placed his confidence in Rowan's Honors College.
The gift to the college—which has been renamed the John H. Martinson Honors College—will greatly expand opportunities for Rowan Honors students, according to Honors Dean Lee Talley. Among them: more paid research opportunities, spring break service trips at no cost to students, and funding for study abroad.
"These are things that our students often can't even consider because of financial constraints," Talley says. "This will allow us to open up these types of experiences to a whole new group of Rowan students.
"Mr. Martinson's gift is going to broaden and deepen absolutely everything we do."
A transformational gift for Honors
The gift is transformational for Rowan University and Honors students, according to Rowan President Ali A. Houshmand. Martinson's gift is an endowment that will grow to serve Honors students for decades to come.
"Like our benefactor, Henry Rowan, John H. Martinson is not an alumnus," Houshmand says. "Yet, he has chosen to support our University and to impact the education of some of our most academically gifted students.
"In doing so, he is helping to give our Honors students the education and experiences they need to become impactful intellectual leaders, creative thinkers and doers, and public servants. We are grateful for his generous vote of confidence in our University and, most especially, our students."
With an enrollment of 555 students, the Honors College is open to academically-motivated students of every major and academic discipline.
To join and remain in Honors, students must apply and maintain a 3.5 grade point average; successfully complete eight Honors classes; attend and participate in academic, social/wellness and service events; and adhere to specific ethical standards and academic codes of conduct.
Similar to honors colleges at other institutions, the college offers unique and interdisciplinary course offerings, enhanced discipline-specific class offerings, priority registration, and Honors housing.
But the college stands out in that it fosters a diverse community of "citizen scholars" by developing a learning community dedicated to developing socially and civic-minded leaders engaged in extracurricular activities and service.
Think. Thrive. Share.
The college's motto—"Think. Thrive. Share."—bolsters that commitment, which focuses on cultivating curiosity and integrity and an understanding and appreciation of other cultures and the arts. The curriculum encourages students, faculty and staff to collaborate on frameworks for leadership and civic engagement.
That focus resonates with Martinson, a veteran of the United States Air Force and Distinguished Flying Cross recipient who flew more than 500 combat missions. Chairman of the Martinson Family Foundation in Newtown, Pa., Martinson has supported Rowan programs focusing on engineering and education since 2006. The Martinson Family Foundation provides grants to educational and charitable programs in the areas of K-12 STEM education at 15 universities.
"I'm certainly encouraged by their achievements and potential," Martinson says of Rowan Honors students. "Honors students obviously are intelligent, accomplished, and motivated to be successful in complex fields and majors. They have broad interests in other academics and disciplines.
"The Honors College has in place advanced courses, outstanding faculty and excellent facilities. Rowan encourages participation in civic projects. Students will benefit from enrichment programs and experiential learning from my endowment."
'An outstanding, competitive, nurturing environment'
Martinson has followed Rowan's growth closely. Recipient of an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Rowan in 2011, he met Henry Rowan several times and is impressed with the University's progress since 1992, when Rowan gave his transformational $100 million gift to the institution.
For the third consecutive year, the University has been named the fourth fastest-growing research university among public doctoral institutions, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. It's one of only three institutions in the nation with medical schools granting D.O. and M.D. degrees. In 2025, a new School of Veterinary Medicine is expected to welcome its first class, pending accreditation. And, earlier this year, Rowan formed a partnership with Virtua Health, South Jersey's largest health system, to create the Virtua Health College of Medicine & Health Sciences of Rowan University.
"My business is to finance and guide innovative entrepreneurs. Henry Rowan is the epitome of a role model," Martinson says.
"Rowan stands out for the growth and expansion of the University and the vision of its leadership," continues Martinson, who is impressed by the expansion of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering, two medical schools, the pending veterinary school and expanded nursing degrees offered by the Virtua partnership.
"Very few universities around the country are expanding at the pace of Rowan. The University creates an outstanding, competitive, nurturing environment. Rowan is striving for excellence at scale."
Attracting top students
Students are accepted into the Honors College based on merit. Rowan students and transfers can apply to join the college even after their freshman year and still graduate in four years. Martinson expects his gift to attract "very top students in the area and across the country.
"That challenges faculty, which leads to better teaching throughout the University and prepares Honors students for graduate school and to win scholarships."
Graduates of the Honors program have gone on to fully funded master's and doctoral programs at Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Oxford and many others. They've also landed Fulbright, Goldwater and Boren scholarships. Others are employed at prestigious firms, such as Boeing, DuPont, Ernst & Young, and The Vanguard Group.
Martinson's donation is the second major gift to the Honors College. In 2004, the late Thomas N. Bantivoglio gave $1 million to strengthen the Honors program, which was founded at then-Glassboro State College in 1989. In 2017, the Honors College was founded. The Bantivoglio Honors Concentration will remain within the new John H. Martinson Honors College.
"Mr. Martinson's gift is one of the best endorsements our Honors program can receive," says Vice President for University Advancement Jesse Shafer, executive director of the Rowan University Foundation. "His return is in the form of impact. He is publicly saying, 'I know this is a tremendous value. I'm making an investment here.'
"He is not an alumnus and has no family tie to Rowan. His gift is a sublime affirmation of our institution and where it's heading."
Cultivating 'citizen scholars'
Martinson earned his B.S. in aeronautical engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy, his M.S. in astronautics from Purdue University, and an M.B.A. from Southern Illinois University.
Before making his gift, Martinson visited campus and later met virtually with Honors students and faculty members. Each semester, approximately 35 faculty members teach in the Honors program.
"We are looking for incredibly well-rounded scholars who give back to the community," Talley says of Honors students. "We want to cultivate citizen scholars. He appreciated the strength of that.
"We had a rigorous conversation about Honors," she continues. "He has an unparalleled knowledge of Honors colleges and programs. His gift will allow us to enrich our applicant pool. We're going to be able to take what we're doing to the next level. We are utterly overjoyed to have his support."

"You are reborn with the roses, in every spring." - Juan Ramón Jiménez from The Selected Writings: Love.
There's something about returning from the bleak winter that ushers in a need to cook with colour and flavour. Lately, I've become drawn towards the use of soft-blush tones in my cooking, with hints of herbs, blossoms and zest. Ice cream has long been my favourite way to incorporate the wealth of inspiration a season has to offer. A stark canvas longing for the stroke of a brush, I could dedicate my life to it and be entirely happy.
The flushed flavours of rhubarb and rose makes for a pleasurable pairing in ice cream. Floral rose is often considered rather overpowering to the palette, especially when used in things sickly-sweet. But when paired with rhubarb and light dairy, its perfumed intensity becomes rounded out against the sharpness of the vegetable and smooth-creamy milk tones. The end result is a well-balanced ice cream with just the right amount of perfume, sweetness and sourness - somewhat similar in taste to a perfectly ripe strawberry plucked straight from the forb.
A hint of gin also goes a far way to compliment too. Enigmatic, herbal and robust, it pairs well against the roseate within.
This recipe makes for an incredibly enriched, smooth and velvety ice cream. Depending on the pigment of your rhubarb, you can choose to deepen the colour of the custard with a few drops of natural pink food dye, if desired. You can also omit the gin for an alcohol-free version. Simply replace it with an equal amount of water or lemon juice.
Place the rhubarb, sugar and gin in a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the rhubarb has begun to break down and soften. Remove from the heat. Purée in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside until needed.
Put the cream and milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Slowly bring the mixture to a light simmer. Meanwhile, whisk the yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until pale and almost doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. Ladle a little of the hot cream into the yolks. Whisk vigorously to combine. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan set on the stove. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not allow it to come to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the rhubarb purée followed by the rose, salt, and food dye, if using.
Cover and chill overnight until completely cold. The next morning, churn in an ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream will be thick and doubled in volume when it's ready. Scrape into a container and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.


Who Are Boro's Great Signings?
RIGHT, thinking caps on. I'm doing a series on Boro's all time greatest signings… and I want your imput. In the business this is called either research, crowd-sourcing or getting the punters to do the work for you, depending on how cynical you are. I prefer to think of it as engaging and empowering the most proactive readers and harnessing the most informed Boro brains out there – that's you lot.
THE VOTES have been counted in the Big Boro Survey and Tony Mowbray has squeezed home at the ballot box.
The manager was endorsed as the man to lead Boro into next season in the Gazette's Big Boro Survey – but the results also showed a significant vote for the opposition. Mogga is now defending what is in effect a marginal constituency.
Readers Poll: Woeful At Wednesday – But Was It The Worst?
A FUNEREAL retreat from the swansong shambles of Sheffield Wednesday was dominated by one question. Well two questions, but the other was "shall we stop at the Wetherby Whaler?" and that was very easily answered.
The painful post-mortem was dominated by the demand: has there been a WORSE display than THAT this season?
WHAT a complete dog's breakfast that was. There was literally only one team in it, one team setting out to win, one team with a shape and strategy, fired up and working to a common goal. One team – and a loose collection of individuals cobbled together in a shambolic system. I was by turns embarrassed, angry and frightened. But not surprised.
BORO have a chance to shake off the rusty shackles of history at Hillsborough.
A win would finish the season with a smile (a wry one maybe, but a smile nevertheless) and cast off the weight of a long barren run since New Year without a single win on the road… one point from 10 games so far in 2013 is a terrible, taunting memory we would all be keen to airbrush with the short term half-forgotten thrill of victory.
But if Boro win and a couple of other related results swing the right way – battling Barnsley at already safe Huddersfield and Peterborough at creaky Crystal Palace – it would relegate Wednesday too. A lot of people would see that as poetic justice.


You want to prosper and the way to do that is improve your value. This is why making some investments is central. But you also need to tap into your target audience beforehand. Prior to launching a franchise, your customers are who count much. So connecting with them is indispensable. Your collaborations with providers who proved dependable is another factor. You refrain from using anyone without these specialization.
Ask some questions then. Be inquisitive in naming the ventures that matter to you. Set aside a sum of money for acquiring these properly as SCR catalyst replacement is necessitating some extensive procedures. Also inquire about the steps that transpired for that. The manner for acquiring these properly is with totally being adherent on conditions for stating these fashion for expertly considering their technologies. A stringent stance is essential for quality.
See their ranks and scout for evaluations on Better Business Bureau. That page has been reliable for longer periods already in securing the expertise of firms that greatly matter to you. So your capacities for citing these traits are urgent. Also inquire with people because the availing of factors is obliged. Discuss these with folks who did not have any biases for marketing them as their opinions are usually balanced.
For starters, when things are cheaper, you can elect to service these yourself. That aids any technical savvy you initially are having as you were not conforming initially to hiring a separate organization. But when these routines are getting harder, then outsourcing is permissible. It grants you that privilege for gaining the advantage of securing them through renowned sources when allowable components are thereby recognized.
Empirically, their website is source of information. It has to contain some navigable characteristics. Through being able to see into their practice that permits the clientele in staying appraised. Also it could contain some vital info regarding the subject matter. Interviewing them is obviously primary. Their response towards your questions is central. It enables you to receive their methods through your vouching of them.
Similarly, it takes an experienced franchise to replace these parts. Their tenure and training are imperative variables. Once they managed to prosper their entity in spite of long periods of competition with bona fide associations, that means they possess employees and also equipment for meeting your needs. Their confidence is number one and it greatly is gaining you that kind of expedient outputting for agendas.

Arkansas continues to shoot itself in the foot with the recent passage of new regulations governing home schooling. As a new year begins, public hearings on the latest revisions are open only through January 17. After the public comment period, assuming comments fail to arouse concerns at the Arkansas Department of Education (under the leadership of evangelical Christian Johnny Key), the new rules will be submitted to the state Education Board for approval.
Members of the evangelical right have taken an increasingly militant stance about public education. Partly white flight from integration, partly concern over exposure to gay or minority students and the so-called liberal agenda, and partly public school difficulty in maintaining high educational standards in the face of inadequate funding alongside demand for extraordinary services in mainlining students with special needs, reasons abound for conservative parents to seek alternatives.
But by far the greatest reason for parents choosing to homeschool is their determination to teach religion. Evidently church alone isn't enough to satisfy this need.
According to the surveys conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, 91 percent of homeschooling parents are more concerned about the environment of schools and want to offer a religious (64 percent) and/or moral (77 percent) alternative.
Smaller-scale studies of parental attitudes have found the same thing, from the conservative fathers who try to form a moral cocoon around their children, to African-American families who want to foster a sense of racial pride in their children, to "quiverfull" families trying to have enough children to Christianize the United States by demographic transformation.
Obviously none of these interests coincide with the need for good citizenship in a blended American society.
In Arkansas, where fundamentalist religious teachings flourish under the guidance of such groups as the Family Council (a conservative research, advocacy, and education organization), the self-explanatory Clark County Christian Home School Organization, and the even more self-explanatory Texarkana Organization for the Resolute Christian Homeschoolers, state lawmakers have signed off on the radical Christian agenda.
Is it best for parents to be the sole instructor and judge of their children's education? Is it best to prioritize religious beliefs over the U. S. Constitution? What if parents don't care much about history or math or computer skills, but prefer their children only understand the Bible?
What is the responsibility of the state to ensure that it doesn't end up with a significant number of young adults incapable of holding down a job, getting along with their neighbors, or functioning as a thoughtful voter?
The latest round of regulations, promulgated during the 2017 legislative session, clarifies requirements for homeschoolers moving in or out of the public schools and in particular their participation in sports and other extracurricular programs. (Never underestimate the importance of football—and, to a lesser extent, other sports—as the state's second religion.) As the numbers of homeschoolers have grown, so has the burning need to allow an overlap of public school football and homeschoolers.
Most importantly to anyone concerned about the nation's future and the potential for our very own religious war, the new regulations remove the state entirely from any oversight of homeschoolers.
No one will know if home schooled students are learning any of the reasoning skills or basic facts essential to the maintenance and advancement of our society. No one knows or apparently even cares whether the parents are capable of teaching or well-educated themselves. Most of all, no one seems to care that isolated segments of the population are being given free rein to seclude themselves harboring potentially seditious motivations.
Parents wishing to cloak their children in fundamentalist Christian beliefs can blithely ignore scientific evidence of the earth's geologic age or evolution of species. They can sidestep entirely the subject of human reproduction and its greater context in biology. Thousands may emerge from their 'education' with no knowledge of how babies are made or the use of birth control, much less how lifetimes of suffering might be avoided through pre-natal testing.
No one will know if students are learning that government is evil. No one will interfere if children are taught to ignore the political process or the vital responsibilities of citizenship. The state is stepping back, washing their hands, of the original dictates of the nation's earliest leaders who recognized the importance of education. Will any of these children, or their parents for that matter, comprehend the urgent truth in the statements of our Founding Fathers?
Surely not all homeschooled children will turn out to be close-minded religious zealots incapable of reasoned understanding of complex issues such as immigration, minority rights, or the nuances of gender and sexual orientation. But as the numbers of homeschoolers continue to increase in Arkansas and the state continues to back off any meaningful oversight, the potential for rabidly ignorant and potentially treasonous segments of our population increase exponentially.
[From a 2012 article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette]: The latest count of home-schooled students in Arkansas shows about 400 more students are learning at home compared to the previous year. The Arkansas Education Department said 16,405 students completed the 2011-2012 school year as home-schooled students. That's compared with 16,003 in the prior year. …State records show that in 1986, 572 students were home-schooled in Arkansas. By 1992, the number was 3,140, and by 2002, 12,497 students were being taught at home. The 16,405 children home-schooled last academic year is equal to 3.5 percent of the state's 468,000 public school students.
The count in 2017 was 19,000.
Yes, I've blogged about similar topics before.

MUSIC IN GALWAY AND AREA
December 13, 2019 June 3, 2020 zzufhhXr7d
One topic discussed at the vernal equinox meeting of "The Friends of Galway" in March was music. It was noted that the original Galway Hall was used for dances and for square dancing as well. The Leahy band from Lakefield often played these dances. Another musical family discussed was the Whites- Bob, Clara, and Marjorie. They also played for dances in Kinmount and area. The Kelletts from Minden, the Rabys from Gooderham were mentioned as was George Schell, Eddie Payne, and Emerson Woodcock.
Other music talked about at this gathering included the Kinmount Brass Band. This band not only participated in parades but also played at picnics and other community events.
Music was a big part of the shanty towns of the loggers. It was also an integral part of some of the Galway hunt camps- the Donners, the Peacocks, and the Whites to name a few.
Often, the musical instruments were an improvisation of materials that were available (tin cans, bow strings, spoons, pails). Singing was also a big part of family gatherings. "Lilting" was described as a way that adults provided the music for the children to dance to in the absence of actual instruments.
Another form of music came from the local Orange Lodges- one in Kinmount and one in Galway. These lodge bands were usually comprised of fifes and drums. Often, there was one bass drum that had the lodge's crest and number. Note that the former Orange Lodge in Kinmount is still standing on Cluxton Street. At this meeting, the location of the former Galway Orange Lodge was identified. It was located just south of the present day junction of the Galway Road and highway 121.

A Unique Case of Intranasal Metastasis from Occult Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
Kum, Rauf Oğuzhan; Aygenç, Erdinç; Somuk, Battal Tahsin; Börcek, Pelin; Özdem, Cafer
Balkan Medical Journal;2015, Vol. 32 Issue 3, p316
Background: Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PDTCs) lie, both morphologically and behaviorally, between well-differentiated and undifferentiated carcinomas. Metastasis of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma to the intranasal cavity has not been reported previously in the literature. Case Report: A 48-year-old male patient presented with massive epistaxis and nasal obstruction. On nasal examination, a bleeding, vascular mass was seen filling the left nasal cavity. The histopathological report of the nasal mass was well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma metastasis. Whole body scintigraphy, ultrasonography and positron emission tomography were done to rule out other possible metastases in the body and determine the origin of the tumor, which was identified as the left lobe of the thyroid gland, and there were multiple metastases involving the lung, sacroiliac area, and left humerus. Histopathological examination of a thyroidectomy specimen revealed PDTC consisting of insular, follicular, and papillary components. Postoperatively, the patient received radioactive iodine ablation therapy (iodine-131) and a course of external beam radiation therapy to the sacroiliac area and other metastatic regions. No recurrences were observed in a follow-up period of 5 years after surgery. Conclusion: The metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma as a component of PDTC to the intranasal cavity has not been reported before. It is interesting that the well-differentiated component of the tumor was metastasized in our patient. Due to the aggressiveness of PDTC and the poor survival rates in patients who undergo surgery alone, a multidisciplinary treatment approach is required.
