This week has been so crazy! I started teaching on Monday, and things are going really well. The drive to work is long and I'm still not accustomed to waking up at 5 in the morning (which means I want to collapse in bed around 9:30 at night). I have always been a bit of a night owl, so the whole early to bed, early to rise thing is different. I also had another faculty dinner and a daylong training this week, plus I had to visit the dermatologist to have a few moles cut out (ouch!). On Wednesday we celebrated Kelsey's birthday (thank you so much for wishing her a happy birthday - that was so sweet of you!!) and on Thursday I worked from 7:30 am until 8:00 pm - whew! Next week I start my more normal schedule, since the other three courses I'll be teaching start in just a few days, so hopefully life will be a little less sleep-deprived. This morning was supposed to be my big sleeping-in morning, but I woke up at 6:30 am feeling kind of ill; J hasn't been feeling well all week, so I think I caught something from him. But on the upside, today I finally got my hair done, so I'll take some pictures of that tomorrow when the dark circles under my eyes have subsided a bit and I'm not looking so vampire-y.
I'm sure you all are as busy (if not more!) as I have been, so I have a SUPER easy recipe to share today. I don't think a pie can get any easier than this (although I do have "easy" and "really easy" directions, so I guess it can it easier!). On top of all that, this pie is delicious!
Easy: Dice up enough peaches to fill an 8x10 or 9x13 cake pan.
REALLY easy: Use canned peaches, pears, or blueberries (or a mix!) instead. Use enough to fill an 8x10 or 9x13 pan.
Easy: In a large bowl, cut one stick of butter into a yellow cake mix (just the mix - not the ingredients the mix calls for) and a touch of cinnamon. Sprinkle over top of the peaches.
REALLY easy: Pour the dry yellow cake mix over top of the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Melt 1 stick of butter and drizzle over the cake mix.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool. Serve and enjoy!
Mmm Blueberry Crumble ice cream (made fresh with local blueberries!), chocolate ice cream, and family. What could be more perfect on a warm summer night?
The Cheesecake Factory's Reeses Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake (25 cents from the sale of each slice is donated to help feed the hungry). I love everything about it except for the cake layers and the chocolate shavings on the outside edge. Otherwise, it is sinfully delicious (and probably sinfully full of calories too!).
My cousin's adorable son admiring the brownies he helped make. Isn't he too cute?
Oh Martje, I'm so sorry! :) But at least you'll have 'sweet' dreams!
I love peach desserts! I'll be adding this to the list of MUST TRY!
I have the worst sweet tooth today too! That looks so good and so easy. I can cook and bake just about anything, except pie crust! But this is a recipe I am going to try! Thanks Brooke!
Glad you gave some substitution options, not a big fan of peaches... Will try the blueberry one!
Brooke that's so weird I JUST made this recipe for the first time last week! I don't think you'll be surprised to learn I did the super easy version ;). One addition - brown sugar (1/2 cup) to the top. Sooooo good. Just be sure to cover with foil when you cook so that it doesn't burn.
Can I make this for our next gathering? I know it's not blueberry cobbler, but I think it will still go over well!
Oh my *drool, that all looks so delicious!
yummmmmmmm, you've been throwing down in the kitchen!!!
I hope you like it, Cindy!!!
Melanie, that is SO weird!!! I'd love if you made that for our next party (I'm planning a murder mystery dinner party for Halloween!!). I agree - covering it is a GOOD idea that I didn't even think of (can you tell mine is a little brown?). I miss you too!!! We need to get together soon and catch up.
Haha! I had to reread the caption for the cheesecake. I thought at first it's a sale for $0.25 each and I was like....no way! I missed it?! It's for a good cause so pack the calories away!
Everything looks so yummy Brooke!
Your dessert sounds delishes - I especially like the real easy part. And did you have to show all of the treats? My day is just starting and now all I can think of is something full of sugar - LOL!

Schaeffler Automotive chief foresees big gains from electrified drivetrains
Christiaan Hetzner
Schaeffler will supply the transmission for Audi's full-electric e-tron SUV.
Schaeffler may be best known for its ball bearings, but the company is also involved in the coming EV era as the transmission supplier for Audi's e-tron full-electric crossover. The head of Schaeffler's automotive business, Matthias Zink, wants the German supplier to significantly boost its presence in electrified powertrains. He explained how to Automotive News Europe Correspondent Christiaan Hetzner.
How much Schaeffler can be found in an average combustion-engine car?
About 110 euros worth of our parts are built into every passenger car. Our biggest business is in engines and transmissions, where our market share is roughly comparable. Nevertheless, Schaeffler generates more turnover per component for the latter. We can make about 400 euros supplying the hybrid dual-clutch gearbox, actuator and the software for Honda, for example, whereas the largest turnover we might achieve with an engine is maybe half that.
The goal is for your new electric mobility business unit to account for 10 percent of Schaeffler Automotive's revenue by 2020, up from 5 percent now. Are there really that many EVs you expect to supply?
This depends on a couple of plug-in-hybrid deals coming to fruition. Until the middle of last year, it looked as if we would see a very quick progression from combustion cars straight to battery-electric vehicles, but we are registering a much greater interest in hybridization.
That's not what you hear from automakers. Hardly any brand is really pushing plug-in hybrids.
Their message to the public may primarily focus on electric vehicles but talks within the industry are much broader. Given the shift from diesel to gasoline engines, the pressure to meet CO2 fleet emission limits is increasing. And before an automaker pays a fine for each gram of CO2 they are over, they would rather pay for technology.
This month the first Audi e-tron electric crossovers will be delivered. Schaeffler will supply the one-gear transmissions for each electric motor. Can you really make money with such simplistic mechanics?
The technical demands are actually very high, so that can bring 300 to 400 euros per axle. Compared with 110 euros on average, the chance for Schaeffler to maintain our content per vehicle -- or even grow it -- is definitely there. We see our potential innovating not just the product itself but the production process.
Why did your transmission win?
In terms of torque per kilogram weight, it offers the best performance for the packaging. It also features our patented lightweight differential. But it was its characteristics in terms of noise, vibration and harshness [NVH] that decided in our favor. This will become much more important once the combustion engine disappears, and you only hear the sound of the tires rolling on the road.
Meet the auto unit boss
Name: Matthias Zink
Title: Schaeffler Automotive CEO
Main challenge: Reducing Schaeffler's dependence on its traditional powertrain business.
Which automakers are planning to use your e-axle?
Great Wall will be implementing it in a hybrid vehicle marketed by their premium Wei brand. We also have a deal with Changan. These e-axles -- in which we deliver the electric motor, gearbox and power electronics in one compact unit -- can fetch 1,000 to 1,400 euros. But the competitive landscape is far more intense than in our established businesses.
When will we see the wheel hub motor you are developing under the name E-Wheel?
It's in a relatively advanced stage of predevelopment. But the wheel hub motor isn't for use even in a minicar. It is better suited for urban applications that aim to maximize interior space, such as robotaxis that don't need the kind of performance required to drive on the autobahn.
If Schaeffler delivers a complete rolling chassis to a mobility services provider, aren't you competing against carmakers -- your biggest customers?
It's a sensitive issue, but at this point I wouldn't answer no.
What is Schaeffler doing in the area of autonomous vehicles?
We are approaching it from the chassis side -- for example, drive-by-wire. We started a joint venture with Paravan, which specializes in vehicles for physically disabled drivers. Paravan is the only company that has a system approved by regulators where you can operate a vehicle via a joystick that is only connected to the wheels and the brakes via an electric cable.
Are you looking at any acquisitions?
I'm not saying this is where we will strike next, but electronics is one open spot where we are looking at our options, whether it's a partnership, joint venture or an acquisition.

Home Competition Goodbye Burritto
Goodbye Burritto
Kali Kotoski
Gene Romero, 1947 – 2019
Gene 'Burritto' Romero (3) was a superb dirt tracker before he was a champion roadracer. He'll be missed.
Words by Art Friedman
Photo courtesy of the AMA
Gene Romero, 1970 AMA Grand National Champion, AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductee and 1975 Daytona 200 winner, died in Fullerton, California on May 12, just ten days before his 72nd birthday. A lifelong smoker, he suffered from COPD and had been hospitalized with pneumonia. He is survived by his wife and adult son.
Romero may be best remembered by those who've seen Bruce Brown's classic motorcycle film On Any Sunday, which primarily followed the season of reigning Grand National Champion Mert Lawwill. The series had wound down to the last two races, with several riders still in contention, among them Lawwill and Romero. Before the second-to-last race, the Sacramento Mile, Romero made his famous quip: "I don't want to hurt anybody, but I just gotta get out there…get third, or come and visit me at the hospital, man. I dig carnations."
He did better than third. He immediately put his C.R. Axtell-tuned Triumph at the front of the pack and stayed there all the way to the flag, securing the 1970 Grand National Championship. Then, to put an exclamation point on his title, he also won the last race of the season, the Ascot Half-Mile, the following week.
With his movie star good looks and charismatic, devil-may-care persona, Romero, or 'Burritto' as he was nicknamed (he spelled it with two Ts), seemed like the epitome of a motorcycle racer to many. But as a journalist I appreciated his ability to articulate matters, and especially his quick wit. If a race report seemed too dry, talking to Burritto would often add some fun to it.
Once back in 1977, at the roadraces in Loudon, New Hampshire, a reporter asked Romero a cringe-worthy question. After establishing that the factory Yamaha TZ750s that he and teammates Don Castro and Kenny Roberts were riding were all essentially the same, the reporter asked, "So then why does Roberts go so much faster than you and Castro?"
Everyone in motorcycling knew that Kenny Roberts was the best motorcycle road racer in the U.S., and probably in the world. But Romero decided to have some fun. So without a moment's hesitation, Burritto replied, "Because we have better mechanics."
"Better mechanics?" the puzzled journalist responded.
"You have better mechanics than Roberts?" the reporter tried again.
"But Roberts goes faster?"
"If you have better mechanics, shouldn't you go faster."
"If you have better mechanics, why does he go faster?" the scribe queried, finally asking the right question.
"Because our throttles close. His don't."
Romero was initially regarded as a TT specialist, and his first National win was in 1966 at the TT at Castle Rock, Washington. Though he never won an AMA National Short Track, he soon showed his wider talents, winning National Miles and Half-Miles too, a total of 12 Nationals in all. But his most memorable victories may have been in National road races, which was helped along when Yamaha drafted him when Triumph's fortunes began to wane. Although he was a bit big for the Yamaha TZ350s, the introduction of the TZ750 in 1974 provided him a tool perfectly honed for his talents. He closed out 1974 by winning the Ontario 200, the second-most-prestigious race of the year, against a star-studded field of international stars.
Winning major races like that positions you to be invited to big invitational events. Since they aren't part of a series, you are paid well just to show up.
So when Gene Romero arrived at Daytona the following March, he expected the promoters of the Anglo-American Match races, a six-race event then held every Easter at three tracks in England, to stop by to negotiate. By mid-week Romero was more than a little peeved. Not only hadn't the promoters looked him up, but they'd blown him off, even while signing up riders that might have been regarded as lesser lights. Apparently, they didn't think Romero was a "real" roadracer. But they still had a couple of slots to fill, so perhaps…
But then Gene Romero hardened his negotiating position in the Daytona 200, still the biggest motorcycle race in the world at that time. For the first 100 miles he settled in among the top five, then as the race wound down and riders got tired and tires began to wear, Romero turned up the volume, passing "real" roadracers such as Steve Baker and multi-time world GP champion Giacomo Agostini, then pressuring Steve McLaughlin until McLaughlin crashed out.
In the victory circle, I watched as one of the Match Race promoters came up behind Burritto and quietly said something in in his ear. After the ceremonies, I caught up to Gene while he walked back to his pit. I told him I noticed the exchange. Did they want to sign him now? "Yeah," he grinned, "They do, but I told them I have an appointment to get my car washed that day."
After retiring from motorcycle racing in 1981, Romero briefly raced cars, then managed Honda's flat track team from 1982 to 1985, and then formed a promotion company that produced events including motorcycle races.
We haven't heard about funeral arrangements, but we're planning to send carnations.4

Tracks Smith's rise to fame, as told by friends, colleagues and fellow musicians. As Smith reached new heights in his career, the film details how he grappled with his new success while struggling with depression, alcoholism and drug abuse.
While I thank the gods the director wasn't trying to decipher the sphinx in a 120 or less (directors who try it almost never get it right), I was somewhat underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, it is a trully joyous celebration of this beautiful person//body of work and the archive material is really worth your time (specially the disarming radio interviews), but I wish we had a little more time on Elliot than streets.
I cannot listen to his music without having a mental breakdown and sobbing on the floor for an hour. As one person said to me " he is bleeding in every chord,in every word he wrote - maybe that's why we feel so close to his music,maybe that's why it hurts and heals at the same time". But as a documentary...i wanted more concentration on Elliott and less background details which are completely unnecessary.

Weber's impact at Notre Dame goes beyond the wins
Veteran coach keeps the joy in sports while helping his teams reach great heights.
Elmira Notre Dame's trophy collection is overflowing with championship plaques from teams coached by Steve Weber.
The current count is two state titles in softball, one in soccer, 23 Section 4 crowns and 30 league championships. All are part of Weber's cumulative record of 1,142 wins, 378 losses and 28 ties among five sports, with more than 1,000 of those victories coming in girls soccer, softball and wrestling at the Catholic school he has called home since 1985.
Weber, 57, ranks fifth in New York state history with 459 wins in girls soccer and entered this spring 13th on the state chart in softball victories at 403, with an 18-0 record that is part of a No. 1 Class C state ranking growing that number to 421. Weber's softball teams have two state runner-up finishes, while soccer has one.
The list goes on and on, including numerous coach of the year awards at the local, state and national levels.
As satisfying as those championships may be, Weber's biggest rewards from roughly 35 years in coaching are less tangible. They come in the form of time spent with family at games, shared laughs with players who are excited to be at practice or seeing how careers at Notre Dame have influenced athletes' lives.
"The tradition of playing for Mr. Weber will be something I will remember for my entire life," said Notre Dame senior Mackenzie Maloney, who played five seasons of soccer and is in her sixth season of softball for Weber. "He's just been someone who has helped me grow a lot throughout my six years of being here now. It's been like a third of my life of Notre Dame sports and it's something I'll take with me for a long time."
Mike D'Aloisio has been Weber's counterpart at Notre Dame since Weber took a job as a physical education teacher and coach there in 1985. D'Aloisio knows quite a bit about coaching himself, ranking No. 1 in Elmira-area history in football coaching victories in addition to enjoying great success in basketball and golf. D'Aloisio also knows a coaching legend when he sees one.
"To me he is in the upper echelon of all-time coaches in this area," D'Aloisio said. "We not only have been around each other for a number of years and coached at the same school a number of years, but I consider him a very good friend.
"He really makes it special for the people who play for him. They learn not only the sport and how to play it, but they learn traits and qualities that are going to affect them the rest of their lives."
A segment of the high school sports world outside of Notre Dame is less likely to give Weber his due. Part of that comes with the perpetual stigma of state titles meaning less for private schools and part of it may come from his teams' consistent excellence. If the Crusaders make things look easy, that's because Weber takes nothing for granted.
"I don't think people realize the time and effort he puts in outside of school and outside of the actual games and practices," D'Aloisio said. "He really is a student of the coaching profession. Not only does he know what he's coaching, he's really responsible about having his teams play on the nicest fields, in the best of conditions."
For all of Weber's records and wins, he is not overly focused on the milestones. After last year's victory over Tioga in the Section 4 Class C softball final on the way to the program's second Class C state title in six seasons, it had to be pointed out to Weber he had just picked up career softball win No. 400.
"A lot of coaches think a lot about themselves, but he's just about team," Maloney said. "He's always looking for ways to help us get better, even after we've been successful in state championships. For the past three seasons, I've been to state finals and we're still looking to get better. That just shows his work ethic."
Maloney said she always looks forward to practice, in part because Weber makes it fun. That's why after the seasons end – in grand fashion or disappointment – he and the players will talk about missing being around each other.
"Girls can be very, very focused and they really want to win, but at the same time they want to enjoy themselves," said Weber, who has been Notre Dame's athletic director since 2000. "They understand that this should be fun. We try to make it fun for them. There's some practices that are going to be a little bit more focused on what's happening, but the thing that is good is you learn so much from each team.
"Once you get a successful program, I think that really helps because the players kind of understand when the level of competition is changing, when the time of the season is starting to become more important. You can really see that in their attitudes, that they know when all of the sudden it's starting to become sectional time."
Weber's road to becoming a softball and soccer coach is different than about 99 percent of his peers. He came from a wrestling background as a student at Watkins Glen High School, continuing in that sport at Corning Community College and SUNY Cortland, where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education.
He credits Cortland's physical education program with helping to prepare him to become a coach. Weber was an assistant for Ithaca High's varsity baseball team when he was a student-teacher there, then went on to coach track and wrestling for three seasons at Odessa-Montour, where he had a talented group of wrestlers that included future NCAA Division III national champion Troy Monks.
"A lot of times when coaches go into coaching the first time, how much they're going to have a passion for coaching, a lot of it depends on what they step into," Weber said. "I stepped into a real good situation with some outstanding kids who were really dedicated and talented at the same time, which made me feel like I picked the right profession at that point."
A job as a physical education teacher opened up at Notre Dame, where Weber coached junior varsity boys soccer before starting the girls varsity soccer team in 1986, after it had been a club team. He also coached five seasons of track and field.
Weber admits he didn't know much about soccer when he arrived. He credits people such as boys coach Henry Ferguson with helping him, not to mention a lot of film study and reading up on the sport. Eventually, Weber added travel soccer to his coaching resume when he and wife Wendy's two children, Kevin and Megan, picked up the sport.
New challenges
Weber coached the Notre Dame wrestling team for 22 seasons and ended up with a 216-116-4 record in that sport. He said that was perhaps the toughest number to reach, especially given the number of forfeits his teams surrendered because of small rosters.
Softball coaching entered the picture in 1996, at the request of the school and some of the soccer players who played softball.
"I'll admit I played some adult league and I wasn't very good," Weber said. "My wife was a much better softball player than what I was, to be perfectly honest. ... I went and picked up as much as I could about the sport, the differences between that and baseball. There's some similarities, but there's a lot of differences."
Soccer, softball and wrestling are on far different sides of the sports scale, which might have been the best thing for Weber.
"There's just so many things that are different about the three," Weber said. "That's one of the things I think can refresh you going from season to season because your whole mindset kind of changes a little bit going into the next sport."
While success came in varying degrees in soccer and softball, it wasn't until the unbeaten 2011 season that Notre Dame won a state championship in the latter. The Crusaders added a second state title last year after losing in the final the year before. The soccer team won its state championship in 2003, adding a runner-up finish in 2015.
Like it was for himself in terms of coaching, those early seasons set the tone for girls who play there now. Past seasons also provide inspiration.
Weber recalls coming back from three goals down with 19 minutes left against top-ranked Seton Catholic Central in the Section 4 final in 2004, then advancing to states on penalty kicks.
"It has a lot of significance of playing to the end," Weber said of that day.
So, too, did the efforts of the unbeaten 2011 softball team, which won eight times after being tied or trailing in the seventh inning. Another team of note was the 2011 soccer team, which ended top-ranked Lansing's run of state-tournament appearances on penalty kicks.
Not every team is defined by trophies.
"I don't walk into every season and look at a team and say, 'Our goal is to win states,' because sometimes that's unrealistic and it's not fair to the kids to say this should be our goal," Weber said. "You come in with different goals. We'll sit down and talk about it after a week or two of practice and just say, 'What are your guys' thoughts? What would be good for us?' I think that's one thing girls are good at, is being able to sit and rationalize that and say what they want to accomplish."
The private school question
Invariably with private schools such as Notre Dame, the debate arises about whether they should even be competing for titles along with public schools.
"I can understand their concerns and questions," said Weber, who is on the classification committee for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. "I think, for the most part, it's a lack of knowledge that people sometimes have about the school. They believe certain things happen or rumors over the years, or they want to associate us with a large city school that's a private school, which is completely different."
Weber pointed out the best programs generally have consistency, with continuity and leadership provided by Weber, D'Aloisio and boys soccer coach Brian Adams playing roles in their programs' success.
At various points, Weber's teams have been moved up from Class C to Class B because of their success. Despite appearing in the last two state finals in softball, Notre Dame is playing in Class C again this year, with a quarterfinal coming up Tuesday at home against Sidney.
Weber, who said Section 4 always has treated his teams fairly, mentioned there are other Class C schools in the section with more players from out of their district than Notre Dame, whose boundaries are the same as the Elmira City School District.
When all is said and done, Weber said, he and his players are more focused on themselves and pay little attention to their detractors.
"After games we'll get comments from players, we get comments from fans," he said. "Sometimes that can build unity within a team, too. A lot of times we'll use that as a driving force. But to be honest, we don't think a lot about it here."
Family and sports are intertwined for Weber. His wife is a constant presence at soccer and softball games as a scorekeeper. Kevin Weber, 32, is an assistant soccer coach who scouted Notre Dame opponents while attending SUNY Cortland. Megan Weber, 28, is an assistant softball coach. Steve Weber coached both in youth soccer and again when they were students at Notre Dame.
"I know so many coaches who have gotten out of coaching and I think some of them were really good coaches at the time or eventually would have been really good coaches and they get out after several years," Weber said. "That's because they say they want to have more time with their family. I can understand that, but in my case, it's been good for the family because we've been able to keep the family involved in our program. Our family get-togethers are at the games and practices."
The softball coaching staff also includes Bruce McMail and his daughter, Stacey, a former Notre Dame standout pitcher who previously coached over the Pennsylvania border at Troy Area High School. Without Bruce McMail, the Weber softball coaching era might never have started.
"When they asked me to do softball in the first year I said, 'Well I've got make a phone call first,'" Weber said. "The first thing I did was call Bruce and I said, 'Bruce, would you be my pitching coach?' He said, 'Absolutely. I'd love to help.' So I probably wouldn't have done it unless he would have said yes. He's been here ever since."
The family vibe runs from throughout Weber's programs, where players and coaches often gather for postgame cupcakes.
Weber said colleges and other high schools have made inquiries about him making a move during his career, but both of his children wanted to go to school at Notre Dame – giving him a chance to coach them again. He said he also found it hard to believe he could find a better situation.
"I've just always enjoyed working with the kids here," he said. "I can't say the students wouldn't be the same for me anywhere else because I haven't been anywhere. You become comfortable in a place and I've got to admit that I'm not a person who likes lots of change. Maybe that's why I've coached the same sports for so long."
There's also something to be said for keeping the same email address when former students and players want to get in touch.
"(During the postseason) I'm getting emails and texts from kids in Colorado, California, Florida," Weber said. "They're coming in from everywhere, saying, 'Hey, we've been following you all season. We're so excited for sectionals or excited for states.'
"As a coach, you don't think about that kind of stuff because you're just focused on the kids you have in front of you. But when you see that kind of stuff, it just makes you feel really good that the kids cared that much about the program and they continue to care about it afterwards."
As impressive of a career as Weber has built for himself, he's more inclined to be awed by their accomplishments.
"We've got so many kids who have come out of this program who are doctors and lawyers. They're working in the FBI," he said. "It's just amazing the careers they've had.
"They'll come back and they'll say soccer really helped me with a lot of the focus I have now or the drive I have in my profession. They may not go on and play that sport (in college), but for a lot of those kids, that sport is still really a part of their life and it's helped to make them who they are."

Q: Add images from Configurable Product to Associated product? Essentially, when using the 'Quick Create' from the 'Associated Products' while making or editing a Configurable Product, no images are applied to the Simple Product that is made.
I'm using the M2E extension to list my items on eBay and it's required that I have an image for my simple products that were created as 'associated products' from the configurable parent.
Is there a way to use Observer / Event Handlers or rewrite some controllers to add whatever images from the configurable parent product to the associated simple child product?
There is an extension '
Automatically Copy Images for Configurable Product Variants' that says it does this, however, myself and others have installed it and never can get it to display in admin>configuration. I've contacted them, and others have to, never to here responses.
Using Magento 1.9.2

A: we've updated the extension (1.5.0). This missing configuration file is now part of the installation package. It was tested successfully up to CE 1.9.2.1.
Thanks for your feedback.
If you have further questions concerning our extension please post them on the Magento Connect platform.

What Readers Are Saying . . . .
While doing research, Yeck had the opportunity to get to know her Virginia cousins. Being only the second person in her family to be born outside Virginia since 1617, returning to the state felt like a homecoming for her. She fell in love with both the county and its residents.
Heather Harris, Rural Virginian
Without a doubt, Yeck truly provides her readers with much more than lessons about Buckingham's history. She offers them a connection, a bond, with the people who made this community what it is today – "At a Place Called Buckingham."
Tana Knott, The Farmville Herald
Just finished reading "At a Place Called Buckingham" and The Jefferson Brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed them both! Thank you for all the research and effort you've put into bringing these historical facts together and for presenting them in such an easy way. I look forward to your future writings.
Debra (Virginia)
Yeck has done a remarkable job gathering together these tales from a county that sadly lost a lot of historical records to fire.
Steven G. (Virginia)
Yeck tells a great story, imparting a deep flavor and visual image of things Buckingham. Those with roots in the county will find nuggets in every article that will leave you yearning for the days of old.
Mary Carolyn (Indiana)
You have truly brought Buckingham's past to life and I know many folks are going to be delighted.
Gordon (Virginia)
Scholarly yet accessible, the stories in "At a Place Called Buckingham" give a great sense of a place for which the author clearly has both great affection and vast knowledge. Well selected photos, maps and illustrations enhance the reading experience. Certainly a must-read for Buckingham Country/Virginia history buffs, and a great introduction for readers new to the topic.
Mari (Chicago)
Joanne Yeck, a life-long writer historian, has previously published work in film-related projects and American pop culture. With "At A Place Called Buckingham" she has switched gears, and reveals a rich history of a particular and peculiar place; a story of a rural, remote planting country. In a smart, engaging style, she brings to life the elusive past of this isolated place. Her essays capture poignant stories about real people and the challenges they faced in this new land. Fiercely independent, skillful and resourceful, these people not only survived, but continued to thrive, despite the historical cataclysms of wars and depressions that engulfed them. Today, little of Buckingham's illustrious past remains to be seen in this sparsely populated county less than eighty miles west of Richmond. Delightfully, Dr. Yeck has compiled a fresh history of a lost past; but now, not forgotten place. A worthwhile read!
John (San Francisco)

UArctic Annual Report 2019
In 2019, UArctic further developed its role in supporting knowledge-based decision making, in close collaboration with the Arctic Council and its working groups, national governments and agencies, and other regional and national partners. Thematic Networks were a focal point of this cooperation, as was our continuing partnerships in organizing the UArctic Congress. UArctic as an organization also embarked on a new phase bringing together our members under a new association.
The Arctic Council Ministerial meeting in May concluded Finland's chairmanship period. As one of the key partners in implementing the Education priority, UArctic was also recognized in the Statement from the Chair. The Ministers welcomed the strengthened cooperation with UArctic, noting especially "the role of teachers and educators in fostering sustainable development in the Arctic and for providing positive future perspectives for its inhabitants." The Thematic Network on Teacher Education for Social Justice and Diversity in Education was also recognized for their contributions and conclusions on their Arctic Council project of the same name.
As an outcome of our partnerships with Arctic governments, two new collaboration frameworks were announced with Canada and Norway that help UArctic support those nation's Arctic policies and strategies. The Canadian federal government's investment of $4.5 million focuses on re-engagement and support on various initiatives to increase northern and indigenous capacity-building, especially related to circumpolar education and research cooperation. Likewise, the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research proposed a four million NOK increase in their annual funding. The increase followed the inclusion of southern Norwegian universities in UArctic's north2north program and project funding, with the aim to engage the whole country in finding solutions for northern challenges and to boost circumpolar knowledge exchange.
As an additional part of our efforts to promote member engagement in different countries and regions, UArctic and the Harbin Institute of Technology established the UArctic HIT Training Centre as a regional centre to support UArctic members in China.
An important element in moving UArctic forward has been the process of refining our overall mission, vision and goals through the development of a new UArctic Strategic Plan 2030. With the current strategic plan period ending in 2020, the Board, our leadership and our members have engaged in an extensive and consultative process to reflect on our priorities. Overall, the new strategy is an evolution of the current one, but with a greater focus on the benefits that our activities have on society. As a result, UArctic will be able to more clearly demonstrate and document our impact.
In order to broaden our efforts and deliver on our mission more efficiently, we continued to develop capacity and ideas for philanthropic fundraising. Engaging relevant leadership and staff, we focused our efforts to learn about best practices, define our strategy, and identify and set priorities and targets. This work will continue until the necessary permits are in place, which will allow us to begin UArctic's philanthropic fundraising in earnest.
Trent University hosted the 2019 UArctic Rectors Forum in August, which drew over forty participants from across the network's senior leadership for a series of panel discussions around the theme "Made In the Arctic". The panels drew on the experience of UArctic members and cooperation through Thematic Networks to address the challenges of incorporating multidisciplinarity and traditional knowledge in higher education, and the key question of how to make research more responsive to the needs of northerners and northern communities. The Forum concluded with a meeting in Ottawa with government agencies and other Canadian partners working in Arctic research and education. This was the last Rectors Forum as a standalone meeting. In future, rectors' meetings will be included at the UArctic Congress or organized in conjunction with other events.
Over 130 participants from UArctic's member institutions attended the Council meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in September 2019, hosted by Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The Council voted in eleven new members to join UArctic. Six of the new members are based in the United States, and the network also welcomed its first member from India. The new member institutions are Agricultural University of Iceland, Alaska Pacific University, Hólar University College, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, University College Copenhagen, University of New Hampshire, University of Southern Maine, Anchorage Museum, ARCTICenter - University of Northern Iowa, Battelle Memorial Institute, National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research.
The Council also welcomed three new Thematic Networks to UArctic, bringing the total number to 50. The new networks are Collaborative Resource Management, led by Nordisk Fond for Miljø og Udvikling; Local-scale Planning, Climate Change and Resilience, led by the University of Alberta; and The Arctic in Asia and Asia in the Arctic, led by UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
The 22nd Council meeting was also the last of its kind, as one of the main decisions taken by the Council was to establish UArctic as a non-profit association. The new association was formally registered on November 1, 2019 under the laws of Finland. Although the transition is largely a technical matter, with core operations, values and membership remaining the same, the association status will help UArctic function more efficiently, increase transparency, and open doors for future development. Members now have a stronger decision-making role in the network, and instead of a Council meeting, they will convene annually at a UArctic Assembly. The new association status will also help UArctic undertake fundraising initiatives for the development of existing network activities as well as the creation of new ones, as we move forward in this new chapter.
The UArctic Congress in Reykjavík, Iceland, originally planned for October 2020, will be arranged in May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Congress is organized in partnership with the Arctic Council chairmanship, and will be arranged in conjunction with the Ministerial meeting. The call for sessions resulted in over 60 high-quality proposals, many of which are focused around the activities of UArctic Thematic Networks and Institutes.
Thematic Networks in 2019
Over the year, UArctic Thematic Networks continued their active collaboration in Arctic research and education. In total, their activities amounted to 28 graduate courses, including field and summer schools; 2 joint graduate programs, either being developed or already with enrolled students; 37 ongoing research projects; 104 peer-reviewed publications and scientific articles; 98 events organized, including workshops, science sessions at conferences, and art exhibitions; and 127 other outreach efforts, such as scientific talks, webinars, blog posts and newsletters. In addition, three Thematic Networks had staff or student mobility.
View the full Thematic Networks report here
In addition to producing concrete outcomes, each Thematic Network has an impact in their field, the participating institutions, their faculty and students, and the society at large. Here are some examples of how our Thematic Networks are making a difference in the Arctic.
Arctic Engineering: Arctic engineering continues to be a critical part of engineering education and practice at University of Alaska Anchorage. Arctic issues are also included in engineering education curriculum at Lapland University of Applied Sciences, for instance in the civil engineering program.
Arctic Indigenous Skills: The Thematic Network provides a platform for students, especially indigenous students, from different Arctic regions to connect with each other.
Arctic Plastic Pollution: Through their partnership with the Icelandic chairmanship of the Arctic Council and its working groups, the Thematic Network has contributed to increasing awareness of plastic pollution in the Arctic. They have created a much needed space for various stakeholders – academia, private sector, local communities, governmental and intergovernmental organizations – for joint development of new transdisciplinary learning and research, as well as new solutions to reduce and solve plastic pollution.
Arthropods of the Tundra / NeAT: NeAT is becoming the one-stop-shop for expertise on tundra arthropods. Their community of students and established researchers benefit from the increasing flow of relevant information and opportunities in the field.
Collaborative Resource Management: The Thematic Network held an in-service course on co-management and community-based monitoring for people in public natural resource management positions in Greenland. They have started a dialogue among education and research institutions to exchange experiences, and ultimately increase the number of Arctic resource managers and scientists who are able to bring participatory approaches to natural resource management in practice.
Smart Societies in the High North (SmartNorth): The Thematic Network has built a strong partnership which is based not on competition but complementary principles and interests; an approach they believe is crucial when thinking about a Smart Circumpolar Arctic (e.g. from smart cities to smart communities and back).
Teacher Education for Social Justice and Diversity in Education: Through developing teacher education especially in the fields of indigenous education, inclusive education and rural education, the Thematic Network builds competence that better serves the needs of children, youth and local communities in the North.

Anti-SLAPP laws (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) shield citizens from bogus lawsuits clearly intended to silence criticism. This lack of protection has resulted in a number of merit-less lawsuits being filed. One of the most ridiculous -- a former university program head suing his replacement for things a journalist said -- managed to make its way all the way up to the state's appeal court. In the end, the defendant was awarded $10,000 in legal fees, but none of that was guaranteed when the plaintiff started wasting everyone's time and money.
As the law stands now in Tennessee, only communications to public officials about public entities are shielded from defamation lawsuits. It doesn't cover things like negative reviews of businesses, criticism of any public figure, or -- like the case above -- things defendants never actually said.
The new law would actually function like an anti-SLAPP law should. It would halt discovery until a ruling on the anti-SLAPP motion and allow the prevailing party to recover fees.
Under this bill, if a legal action is filed in response to a party's exercise of the right of free speech, right to petition, or right of association, that party may petition the court to dismiss the legal action. All discovery in the legal action will be stayed upon the filing of a petition pursuant to this bill and the stay of discovery will remain in effect until the entry of an order ruling on the petition. The court may allow specified and limited discovery relevant to the petition upon a showing of good cause.
The petitioning party will have the burden of making a prima facie case that a legal action against the petitioning party is based on, relates to, or is in response to that party's exercise of the right to free speech, right to petition, or right of association. If the petitioning party meets this burden, the court will dismiss the legal action unless the responding party establishes a prima facie case for each essential element of the claim in the legal action.

Crash video has no place in news coverage
The aftermath of the tragic accident in which an SUV barreling down the wrong side of I-275 crashed into a car carrying four Sigma Beta Rho fraternity brothers, killing all five as the cars exploded into flames upon collision, has left many horrified and shaken.
The fatal crash has been seen by thousands after a woman driving in the parallel southbound lane witnessed the SUV traveling in the wrong direction and took out her camera phone, recording the moment of impact and the moments preceding it and posting it to her personal Facebook.
While she later took down the video from Facebook, where it was shared and re-posted by many, it was posted by several news local news outlets, and has been viewed thousands of times.
Indeed, we live in an information-saturated world, in which any bit of information we seek to know or see is simply a search and click away. But the question of what purpose posting this video serves remains unanswered.
News organizations should certainly not withhold information from readers, serving as filters or buffers between the general public and the truth. However, in this instance, posting the videos serve no greater purpose other than driving up ratings and viewership of their own sites – though that may not have been the original intention behind posting it. Simply because information exists, does not mean news organizations should feel pressured into providing it.
The video serves no additional informative purpose – viewers watch the crash unfold accompanied by the shrieks of the video taker. It does not serve to tell more of a story, nor does it serve a greater good.
It preys off of the desensitized, voyeuristic curiosities of a society filled with Pavlovian conditioned Internet junkies, who have been trained to click a mouse to seek out more feeling – the macabre, the sensational and the horrific that we seek from watching videos and movies.
But the problem is what we see in the video is not a movie.
It is horror. But it's a horror that's very raw and real, and actually took the lives of four men – men who were sons, brothers, boyfriends, friends, classmates and students. If the intent of posting the video was to allow us to feel more empathy toward the victims and their families by witnessing the event firsthand, it is a much sadder reflection on our diminishing capacity for empathy than it is on news outlets' need to stay relevant.
While the men died in public, on one of the busiest highways in the city, the question that needs to be asked is whether we, as individuals, would want the final moments of life – intimate moments that often, when planned, are reserved to be shared with only with the closest loved ones – to be broadcast to the world for the sake of serving others' curiosity.

Coach Brian Gregory said Tuesday the Bulls didn't play complete, 40-minute games in their two losses last week. It's debatable if they did Wednesday night against East Carolina (11-18, 5-11) at the Yuengling Center, but it was more than enough to put up a 73-68 overtime win. "It's funny. There were stretches where we played […]

Understanding of eating behaviors associated with obesity requires objective and accurate monitoring of food intake patterns. Accurate methods are available for measuring total energy expenditure and its components in free living populations, but methods for measuring food intake in free-living people are far less accurate and involve self-reporting or subjective monitoring. We suggest that chews and swallows can be used for objective monitoring of ingestive behavior. This hypothesis was verified in a human study involving 20 subjects. Chews and swallows were captured during periods of quiet resting, talking and meals of varying size. The counts of chews and swallows along with other derived metrics were used to build prediction models for detection of food intake, differentiation between liquids and solids, and for estimation of the mass of ingested food. The proposed prediction models were able to detect periods of food intake with greater than 95% accuracy and a fine time resolution of 30s; differentiate solid foods from liquids with greater than 91% accuracy; predict mass of ingested food with greater than 91% accuracy for solids and 83% accuracy for liquids. In earlier publications we have shown that chews and swallows can be captured by non-invasive sensors that could be developed into a wearable device. Thus the proposed methodology could lead to the development of an innovative new way of assessing human eating behavior in free living conditions.

Twerpgate: the Rise of Stupid
How the British governmen's remaining brain cells were lost
Typo City 25/8/20
For months now the nation has been mystified as to why the government relied so heavily on the mathematical models of Imperial College Professor Neil Ferguson.
With the advantage of hindsight (or for that matter foresight) this was a move as bonkers as the UN making Tony Blair a "Peace Envoy", the W.H.O. appointing Robert Mugabe as the World Health Organisation's goodwill ambassador (LOL!) or putting a leading Flat Earther in charge of Google Maps. [One of these is obviously fictional on account of being too ridiculous, can you guess which one?]
The professor's mathematical models were true to the noble traditional of soothsayers and harbingers of doom thought to have died out in the Middle Ages but recently found alive and well and burrowed deep inside the British government. And as such they duly prompted the traditional wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst Believers throughout Westminster and other hotbeds of ancient superstition.
Yet rumour has it that, even though the British government is probably living in the 21st century or some very similar century such as the 18th, it was very eager to favour Ferguson's predictions of National Doom over the abundant predictions from sensible scientists and people good at math that said otherwise.
The latter however were disregarded on account of having several flaws that caused the government to doubt their feasibility, namely:
They were not scary enough
They were too accurate
Thus the government adopted the wailing and gnashing of teeth scenario and then generously shared the aforementioned wailing and gnashing with a credulous nation via television and an equally waily and gnashy mainstream media.
There has still been no answer to the question being asked by everyone except newspaper reporters: how did the government manage not to know that the "expert" it had decided to rely on for advice affecting such trivial issues as national survival was completely rubbish at predictions?
It was easily discoverable on Google that Ferguson had on several previous occasions made wildly inaccurate and alarming forecasts concerning previous viruses such as Swine Flu, Bird Flu, BSE and so forth. This was pointed out at the time by millions of bloggers who were not believed because they did not have the status of "expert" enjoyed by people such as . . . er, Ferguson.
It was at one time believed that when Ferguson's name came up, the PM had done the last sensible thing of his political career and carried out a Google search to find out what sort of chap was being recommended to him for advice that would affect the entire future of the country. Unfortunately, the story goes, the PM made a typo and googled the name "Gerguson" in error.
Google returned dozens of entries on Olaf Gerguson, the Norwegian serial killer, who ate the kidneys of half a dozen life coaches in Oslo between 2010 and 2014. As Gerguson was to be hired for his mathematical modelling and Google returned nothing negative on that score, the PM decided there was nothing to worry about and gave the order to bring him in for consultation immediately.
Three days later, the PM duly appeared on TV to scare an anxious nation with Gerguson's predictions as to how COVID19 was going to lay waste to the civilised world (Eton) plus lots of other places. Although they were inaccurate, they were scientifically inaccurate and came with a free pie chart, which was the main thing.
The projections that the PM gleefully shared with the nation included the scientifically settled fact that a million people would die horribly by Tuesday in Melton Mowbray alone unless we acted swiftly to destroy the economy.
It has now emerged that that story is not entirely true. For one thing independent fact checkers gave the story the benefit of their attention and revealed that the story wrongly gave the name accidentally searched on Google by the PM as Gerguson. A fact checking virus helpfully installed on the PM's laptop by (probably Russian or at least foreign) hackers was able to reveal that what the PM had actually searched for was "Fergusov". This returned 11230000 entries concerning Antonia Fergusov, a ballerina from Minsk who was with the Bolshoi from 2015 to 2019 until tragically killed in a COVID-related car crash on the M11Neva motorway just outside St Petersburgh.
By another remarkable coincidence Ms Fergusov, besides being a world-class ballerina, was also a PhD in Applied Mathematics and very good at mathematical modelling. This of course was mentioned on Google and served to convince the PM that Fergusov was just the sort of chappette needed to assist the government's War on Not Panicking.
I should point out that whilst all this may sound bizarre, it is in fact myriad coincidences, small distractions, lapses of judgement and typos that actually comprise the driving force behind all of human history. Well, that and lying anyway.
Be all that as it may, the "fact-checked" version of how Ferguson came to be the mastermind behind months of government fibbing, not to mention the crushing of the global economy, became the official narrative officially denied by the government for many weeks until the truth intervened and it was thoughly discredited in the manner of all official narratives.
The truth - like all truth, vehemently denied by the government - finally emerged thanks to a whistleblower in MI6 and this precipitated what is now known as Twerpgate (aka The Rise of Stupid) ,the scandal surrounding the Brirish government's decision to take advice from the totally inept.
It turned out that the PM's office is continually monitored by the security services via hidden microphones that enable everything that is said to be recorded.
This is a long-standing practice designed as an aid to the War on Peace by building up stockpiles of leverage in case of emergency that everyone forgot to tell the PM about.
The recordings are stored in vaults deep within the bowels of MI6. Thanks to the aforementioned patriotic whistle blower, who cannot be named for fictional reasons, The Daily Scare and other bastions of cutting-edge journalism such as The Onion, the Babylon Bee and Sarcastic Llama came into possession of a key recording that throws light on how the decision was actually made to hire Ferguson.
On the tape can be heard the recognisable voices of the PM and Health Secretary plus an unidentified senior civil servant we will refer to as "M" because it sounds James Bondy.
Here is a transcript of a key snippet that starts when a flustered "M" enters the room and interrupts the PM and Health Secretary. Boris and Matt had been discussing routine matters such micro-chipping vaccines so that when people drop dead from the toxins their corpses can be more easily located using Google Maps and a proposal by the Royal College of Psychiatrists to shake the plebs out of their complacency by discovering that not being afraid of the Coronavirus is a mental illness worse than pedophilia or warmongering.
M: (slightly breathless) Good morning Boris, Matt, I'm so sorry to interrupt but there's something I need you to see. . .
PM: Can it not wait? We are rather busy as you can see . . .
M: Best not Prime Minister, in light of the current emergency that's going on . . .
PM: Which one?
M: The "People not being scared of the Coronavirus" one. The situation is pretty grave as you know.
PM: (ruefully) Tell me about it! I had Gatesy on the blower for an hour yesterday giving me an ear bashing about how much money he stands to lose if we can't convince the hoipoloi to get enthusiastic about his dodgy ruddy vaccines. We've tried everything to make the flu sound like the Black Death but Joe Public isn't buying it.
M: Then it falls to me to be the bearer of good news, Prime Minister! (rustling of papers)
PM: What good news is that then?And what's the catch?
M: It's a report from professor Ferguson at the Imperial College . . .
PM: Never heard of him.
M: Oh he's, like, an expert or something. Or very similar to one anyway. He's advised the government before. He helped destroy the farming industry during the Foot and Mouth and Swine Flu epidemics and really helped Big Pharma make a packet from vaccines during the Swine Flu thing . . . So he's well thought of.
PM: Nope, still doesn't ring any bells. Maybe I should Google him...
M: No need to go to such extremes Prime Minister. Main thing is some of the chaps think he's a top chap and we should listen to what he has to say and not waste time bothering to listen to anybody else...
PM: Yes but is he any good at . . . what is it he does exactly?
M: He does sums and such to make predictions about epidemics.
PM: Oh, right, yes. So is he any good?
M: Well, it depends what you mean by "good", Prime Minister.
PM: Well are his predictions accurate? Will they help us understand how this virus outbreak is going to go?
M: Yes Prime Minister! To within plus or minus four thousand percent!
PM: Wow!
Health Sec: We can live with that. And any shortfalls we can paper over using media-friendly statistics. Gatesy thinks very highly of him, says he's a Top Bloke. Really handy to have around of you want to scare people in the national interest.
M: The main thing is he's very scientific and he's scientifically worked out using complicated sums that millions are going to die from this Coronavirus thing - well, they will if we play our cards right. We can kill off millions of old people - save a packet on pensions - and blame the whole thing on a virus while sounding impressively scientific!
Health Sec: Brilliant! It is important to be seen as following science, even though nobody know what science exactly . . . or what "science" means.
PM: Well it worked for Hitler and those ethnic cleansing chappies in Bosnia. But his predictions sound really, really frightening, gonna scare the nation half to death!
M: Well that's the main advantage. Plus being able to say it's backed by science means we've got it made. If by "science" you mean nobody can understand it.
Health Sec (chuckles): Scare the riffraff enough and they'll wind up DEMANDING you ethnically cleanse their own grandmothers.
PM: Well that could come in handy. We could use that if we are ever going to sell dismantling the NHS and auctioning off the components as the patriotic thing to do . . . But hold on, what do you mean nobody can understand it? Surely it can't be that hard.
M: Well it is. It's quite brainy stuff, Prime Minister. But that's important because people are more likely to take on trust information that they can't understand. When they understand it, they tend to argue the toss and make constructive suggestions and so forth which takes up valuable administrative time and resources.
PM: But do you understand it?
M: Yes, but I went to Eton.
PM: Is that it there?
M: (rustling of papers can be heard) It just arrived by courier from Imperial. It's a five hundred page summary of Ferguson's mathematical model and the resultant predictions of . . . er widespread death. Very important you get your head around it also Prime Minister. If you are going to go on TV and tell the citizenry they are going to probably die, it's important you have some understanding of what you are talking about.
PM: Not necessarily. You can't expect a chap to understand lots of stuff AND run a country. I mean ... look at that ruddy great wadge. It'll take me a month of Sundays to wade through it! Can't you just give me a summary of the summary, in layman's terms?"
M: I can try. Stop me if you don't understand something.
PM: I probably won't. But explain away old chap . . . and make it snappy. I have a PDH appointment at the Tavistock in half and hour . . .
M: (Clears throat) Well, in layman's terms and put bluntly, professor Ferguson's mathematical models tells us that there are numerous infintesimal denominators and trending curves displaying lots of calculus and differentials along with decimated decimals over the course of a time dilated hypothesis resulting in a profusion of numbers to the square root of logarithmic rhunes. This means that the x-axis of the graph and the y-axis converge to zero . . .
Continues woffling in this in this vein for quite some time until the tape ends abruptly. Sound of health Secretary snoring in the background.
Just before the recording is cut short, the PM can be heard to utter, "Enough already! My ruddy bbrain is starting to hurt. Tell the smarmy bugger he's hired and is to attend tomorrow's SAGE committee - He can bring with him a summary for the committee in plain ruddy English of not longer than two ruddy paragraphs. Now . . . more important matters . . . do you think I should wear a mask when appearing in public?
Health Sec: I'd advise against it, Boris. Makes you look fat and a bit dim. Point of fact no politician who's worn a mask in public has ever wound up looking other than a complete twat. Putin never does it for that reason so I hear. Trump did it but soon knocked if off when advised it could cost him the election. . . .
Officials believe that most Brits were born yesterday

Seizing the Enigma
The Race to Break the German U-Boat Codes, 1933-1945
David Kahn
Central black and white plate section
For almost four desperate years, from 1939 to the middle of 1943, the British and, in time, American navies fought a savage, losing battle against German U-boat wolf-packs. The Allies might never have turned the tide without an intelligence coup. The race to break the German U-boat codes is one of the greatest untold stories of the Second World War. Kahn expertly brings this tale to life in this updated edition of his classic book.
Soon after war broke out, Hitler's U-boats began to sever Allied lifelines. In the grey wasteland of the North Atlantic, submarines prowled; at night, the sky lit up with the flames of torpedoed and sinking merchant ships and tankers.
To meet the growing crisis, ingenious amateurs joined the nucleus of dedicated professionals at Bletchley Park. As the Battle of the Atlantic raged, they raced to unlock the continually changing German naval codes. Their mission: to read the U-boat messages of Hitler's cipher device, the Enigma.
Critical to their success was a series of raids at sea. U-110, captured intact in the mid-Atlantic, yielded an example of the Enigma machine itself – as well as a trove of secret documents. The weather ship Lauenburg, seized near the Arctic ice pack, provided code-settings for an entire month. In the Mediterranean, two sailors rescued a German weather cipher than enabled the team at Bletchley to solve the Enigma after a yearlong blackout.
DAVID KAHN holds a PhD in history from Oxford University and is the author of the Codebreakers and Hitler's Spies. He has written many articles on codes and intelligence, from the Historical Journal to the New York Times. A former editor of Newsday, he lives in New York and is one of the world's leading historians of cryptography.

The new week of Season One of DiRT Rally 2.0 continues, with the release of the first new location for the game, in the shape of Monte Carlo. I say "new", but just how new is it? Is it simply a reskin, or does it offer a significantly different experience?
As fans of the series will know, Monte Carlo was in the original title. Not only was the location in the first game, but it used these exact stages. The reuse of those stages as paid DLC has proven to be controversial to some.
My own opinion swings from one side to the other. I'm all for extra locations and stages — the game really needs them — but a truly fresh experience is never a bad thing. Before exalting too much, or even throwing Codemasters under the bus, let's take a look at the work it's done.
Monte Carlo presents you with an experience that very few events do: a tarmac, ice and snow event. The name alone gives it an air of glamor. The conditions combine with the glamor to create one of the most unique and prized events in the rally world. It's a location that is welcome in any rally game.
While the stages in DiRT Rally contained icy sections, they lacked intimidation. The experience was missing the adaptability the real Monte requires. That is certainly not the case here.
2.0 immediately throws a curveball at you. You have to choose between soft tarmac or winter tires. That choice will gain you a lot of time on the sections they are designed for – a true Monte Carlo gamble. For a single stage, that choice will become simple enough, but how will that change with loops of three or four?
Not only has the magical grippy tire gone, but the ice and snow have radically changed. The grip levels are substantially lower, even on the winter tire. No longer can you throw the car into the corner. With a car such as the Porsche 911 RGT, it's like doing the tight rope.
The Porsche is a car in which you already use the throttle to steer to a certain extent, but on the ice, it becomes the steering. The pendulum effect is savage thanks to that rear-engined layout.
I truly can't overstate how delicate you need to be with your inputs. Turn slightly too much and you'll have the most annoying spin. Brake a tad too hard and you'll lock up and hit a wall. Flex your big toe on the throttle and you'll spin like a top.
It's not only the full ice sections that have been overhauled. Ice patches are now deadly. In the sections where the car is straddling ice and tarmac, it's a bit like a boxing match. Each side is vying to pull your car in its direction. The effect of the wheels spinning as they come into contact with the ice is so well done, audibly and visually.
Not only is it a treat for your eyes and ears, you really feel that terror of sudden grip loss. The wheel goes incredibly light when you hit the ice, then loads up again as the tire bites into the tarmac. Considering how much of a bashing the FFB has received from the community, it's a lovely detail.
I must admit, I would love to know who decided on the placement of the ice patches. Whoever it is, they're either evil or have a dark sense of humor! Some are in the most difficult of braking zones, others just where you're getting on the power. The absolute worst are those where there is no wall stopping you from a spot of rappelling without a rope.
This upgraded Monte Carlo is a fabulous challenge. I still have reservations about the tarmac physics, but the uniqueness of the event provides plenty of distraction. Combine the ice and snow with the 911, and you've got what is possibly the hardest combination in the game at present.
I must confess, I'm still torn on the reuse and resale of the exact same roads as DLC, especially when a rally like Monte Carlo has hundreds of miles of iconic roads. Despite those misgivings, Codemasters has captured the spirit of driving the Monte like no one else. Priced at £2.99, it's hard to argue against it.
