During this past quarter I've moved into my third decade of continuous confinement. I am glad to have more than 20 years of continuous confinement behind me, and I'm hopeful that I can conclude my sentence from my current place of confinement, in Taft, California.
I have been in the Taft prison camp for more than three months now. By far, this prison camp offers the best living conditions that I've ever experienced since my confinement began in 1987. Some of the prisoners complain, of course, but complaining seems to be a part of confinement. Wherever I have been, prisoners complain. I can understand it, as the people with whom I share space have not experienced as much as I have. They miss their families and communities, and confinement under any kind of circumstances is difficult. Since I have known so much worse, I can say that I wake every morning with enthusiasm and gratitude for the blessings God has bestowed upon me.
During the three months that I have been at Taft Camp, I've been very busy. My primary work has been the completion of two new Web sites that I've been instrumental in designing. One of the Web sites is called PrisonSuccess.com, and the other Web site is called PrisonAdvice.com. These sites have different purposes from each other, and from my primary site at MichaeISantos.net. I'm optimistic about the opportunities that will open because of my work on these projects.
I designed PrisonSuccess.com in response to a project that I began with my friend Lee Nobmann, of Golden State Lumber. While we were confined together at Lompoc Camp, Lee and I frequently discussed the need for programs that would encourage more offenders to use their time wisely. Together we published two books, one for at-risk adolescents and another to encourage prisoners to step up and accept responsibility for their lives. PrisonSuccess.com has become a component of the Step Up program that Lee's company sponsored.
Through PrisonSuccess.com, we offer an opportunity for any prisoner to open his own Web site. PrisonSuccess will become a social networking site prisoners may use to document their efforts to grow and prepare for success. This Web project is completely free of charge to all prisoners who sign up to participate. They may post articles, short stories, resumes, goals, book reports, journals and photographs on their personal sites. My hopes are to encourage hundreds, and then thousands of prisoners to participate in this project. I am convinced that those who begin to document their commitment to succeed will have a better chance of overcoming the obstacles that are certain to follow confinement.
The other site I designed, PrisonAdvice.com, will offer content to help people who anticipate a problem with the criminal justice system. Through that Web site, I will publish content regularly that helps others under some of the complexities that accompany prosecution and time in prison. I have written the initial content for PrisonAdvice.com, and I will continue writing profiles of other prisoners and articles during these remaining years that I expect to serve. PrisonAdvice.com differs from MichaelSantos.net because I will use the new site to focus on the prison system rather than on my own journey through confinement. For stories or articles that relate to my own adjustment, I will continue to use my personal Web site at MichaelSantos.net.
I am enthusiastic about these new Web site opportunities because they allow me to continue publishing useful information for people who are in need. Over these remaining years that I expect to serve, I will add significant amounts of content to all of my Web sites. Through this work, I hope to build both a brand and a platform that may help me launch a career as a speaker and consultant for those looking for information about overcoming adversity.
Besides the Web site projects, I've also completed my first series of courses with Taft Community College. At Taft Camp, and at the adjacent low-security Taft Correctional Institution, inmates are authorized to study independently with the local college. We have a computer lab with Microsoft programs. I recently completed a course that helped me understand Word and Excel. Previously I had studied courses in both electronic spreadsheets and word processing, but I have never used these popular Microsoft programs. The knowledge I have gained will be helpful upon my release. In fact, it is helpful right now as I am able to use what I have learned to better communicate my needs to Carole.
I'm also participating in the Toastmasters club. While I was confined at USP Atlanta, much earlier during my sentence, I was instrumental in bringing the Toastmasters club to that institution. I really enjoyed participating, as it brought me experience in the art of public speaking. We're building a vibrant club with the population here at Taft, and I look forward to continuing my participation. This past week I delivered a 30 minute speech that I called Thriving Through Adversity. I spoke without notes, adhering to the following outline: Introduction, describing my own experiences (3 minutes); Values, and Goals, describing the importance of clearly defining both values and goals in order to succeed (8 minutes); Strategies, describing the seven habits that Stephen Covey described in his bestselling book (15 minutes); Benefits, describing the ways these patterns lead to success and happiness (3 minutes); and Conclusion, in which I challenge those in the audience to use this same pattern to succeed.
Another group with which I have signed up to participate at Taft is called T.O.A.D., which is an acronym for Those Outspoken Against Drugs. This group uses inmates at the camp to travel into nearby communities for the purpose of speaking to at-risk adolescents. The TOAD group has been active for several years, and I look forward to the next opportunity to speak with troubled youth. My hopes are that I can help some make better decisions than I made when I was a younger man. My exercise routine continues. I am able to workout regularly. We do not have free weights at this facility, but that is not a problem for me. I am running at least 40 miles each week, and strength training with push ups and dips. We also have several high-quality machines for aerobic training, and the weather is superb. Now that the hot months have passed, I must say that Taft has the best weather that I've ever experienced. It's sunny every day, with low levels of humidity. I really am grateful to be serving my time here.
Over the coming three months, I do not expect to enroll in more classes at Taft College. Instead, I will focus on writing more content for the new Web sites that I am developing. I also will spend time exercising, and watching CNBC. As I write this quarterly report, the market indices are approaching very high levels, and this surprises me. I subscribe to both Business Week and News Week magazines, and I read the Wall Street Journal daily. The news on the sub-prime credit fiasco suggests that millions of people soon are going to face substantially higher mortgage payments, and the credit crunch makes it unlikely that they will be able to refinance. Although the Fed cut interest rates by an unexpected 50 basis points, and the market has gone straight up since then, the economy is going to have to soften. I enjoy watching the pundits on CNBC, even if they are expecting the market indices to continue surging to new highs. My wife, Carole, continues her commitment to nursing school. We both look forward to her graduation next May, when she and her daughter will relocate to the Bakersfield area. Nichole is now an official senior in high school; she completed college-level course work over the summer in order to graduate high school one full year ahead of her class. Both Carole and I are very proud of her. She expects to enroll in a pre-med curriculum when she begins her university studies, in 2008. Beginning in October, I will initiate more regular postings of my daily activities with a Blog that Carole is activating. I encourage readers to follow my progress as I move through these final years of my confinement.
Thank you for your continuing support, and may God bless you all.

Another '80s sitcom might be making a comeback.
Deadline reports that a reboot of The Facts of Life is in early stages of development. Helming the gestating project are Sony Pictures TV with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson's Appian Way who's currently in negotiations to produce alongside Jessica Biel via her Iron Ocean Films.
The Facts of Life, in itself a spinoff that ran for nine seasons on NBC. The series followed a group of girls at a boarding school who were looked after Mrs. Garrett (Charlotte Rae). The series delved deep into issues that teenage girls face such as drug use, sex, eating disorders and peer pressure. The cast also included Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn, Cloris Leachman, Lisa Whelchel, Nancy McKeon and at various points Molly Ringwald, George Clooney and even Pamela Adlon.
The Facts of Life was nominated for three Emmys during its run.

Microsoft and Qualcomm Collaborate to Bring Windows 10 & x86 Emulation to Snapdragon Processors
by Matt Humrick & Brett Howse on December 7, 2016 10:00 PM EST
Today at Microsoft's WinHEC event in Shenzhen, China, the company announced that it's working with Qualcomm to bring the full Windows 10 experience to future devices powered by Snapdragon processors. Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group at Microsoft, is "excited to bring Windows 10 to the ARM ecosystem" and looks forward to bringing "Windows 10 to life with a range of thin, light, power-efficient and always-connected devices," which may include anything from smartphones to tablets to ultraportable laptops to servers. These new Snapdragon-powered devices should support all things Microsoft, including Microsoft Office, Windows Hello, Windows Pen, and the Edge browser, alongside third-party Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps and, most interestingly, x86 (32-bit) Win32 apps. They should even be able to play Crysis 2.
This announcement fits nicely with Microsoft's "Windows Everywhere" doctrine and should come as no surprise. It's not even the first time we've seen Windows running on ARM processors. Microsoft's failed Windows RT operating system was a modified version of Windows 8 that targeted the ARMv7-A 32-bit architecture. It grew from Microsoft's MinWin effort to make Windows more modular by reorganizing the operating system and cleaning up API dependencies.
This work first surfaced in Windows Server 2008, which could be installed with a stripped-down, command-line only interface that did not include components such as Internet Explorer that were not necessary for specific server roles. Windows RT also leveraged the newer Windows Runtime (WinRT) API that offered several new features such as digitally signed app packages distributed through the centralized Windows Store and the ability to run apps within a sandbox. It also made it easier for software developers to target multiple CPU architectures. However, Microsoft's rework of Windows was not yet complete, leaving Windows RT with a bunch of legacy Win32 code that went unused. It also could not run Win32 desktop apps, severely limiting the number of available apps to only those using WinRT and distributed through the Windows Store.
MinWin and its derivatives have continued to evolve over the past few years after getting a major boost in 2013 when Microsoft reorganized its disparate software platforms into the singular Operating Systems Engineering Group. The end result is Windows 10, a modular OS that can run on anything from low-powered IoT devices to high-performing workstations and servers. Its foundation is OneCore, MinWin's direct descendant, that includes only the operating system kernel and components essential for any hardware platform. OneCore UAP (Universal App Platform) is another major module for Windows 10 whose groundwork was laid during the creation of Windows Phone and Windows RT. It provides support for Universal Windows Apps and Drivers, along with more advanced features such as the Edge browser and DirectX. On top of these modules, Microsoft can add modules that target specific device families (desktop, mobile, Xbox, HoloLens, etc.) that provide specialized features and shells.
Also included in OneCore UAP is Universal Windows Platform (UWP). An extension of the WinRT API used in Windows 8, it allows developers to create universal apps that are CPU architecture agnostic and can run on multiple devices, seamlessly adapting their user interface and input methods to the hardware they're running on. With UWP, the architecutre independence is achieved by having pre-compiled versions for each platform available from the Store, which will then download and install the correct version for the individual device. The major change with today's announcement over Windows RT and UWP is that x86 apps will be able to run on Qualcomm's ARM-based SoCs, along with support for all of the peripherals that are already supported with Windows 10. This alone is a huge change from Windows RT, which would only work with a small subset of peripherals.
Microsoft is also focusing on having these devices always connected through cellular, which is something that is not available for many PCs at the moment. Support will be available for eSIM to avoid having to find room in a cramped design to accomodate a physical SIM, and Microsoft is going so far as to call these "cellular PCs" meaning they are expecting broad support for this class of computer, rather than the handful available now with cellular connectivity.
The ability to run x86 Win32 apps on ARM will come through emulation, and to demonstrate the performance Microsoft has released a video of an ARM PC running Photoshop.
This of course raises several questions, few-if-any of which Microsoft is willing to answer. Intel has long exerted strong control over the x86 ISA, limiting or outright preventing competitors like NVIDIA from implementing x86 support. So how Microsoft and Qualcomm are able to (for lack of a better way to put it) get away with this is a big question. Certainly there's no indication right now that this has Intel's formal blessing.
The key points here are that this is a form of software emulation - Microsoft even calls it as much - and that only 32-bit x86 support is being offered. On the former, this means that there's no hardware execution of x86 instructions taking place - though Microsoft and Qualcomm are certainly lining up instructions as best they can - which avoids many of the obvious patent pitfalls of doing x86 in hardware, and puts it in the same category as other x86 emulation mechanisms like DOSBox and QEMU. Meanwhile only supporting 32-bit x86 code further rolls back the clock, as the most important of those instructions are by now quite old, x86 having made the jump to 64-bit x86-64 back in 2003. So it may very well be that it's easier to avoid any potential legal issues by sticking with 32-bit code, though that's supposition on our part. In any case it will be interesting to see what instructions Microsoft's emulator supports, and whether newer instructions and instruction set extensions (e.g SSE2) are supported in some fashion.
Of course, the performance of this solution remains to be seen. x86 is not easy or cheap to emulate, and an "emulator" as opposed to a Denver-like instruction translation makes that all the harder. On the other hand, while maximizing x86 compatibility is great for Microsoft and Qualcomm, what they really need x86 for is legacy applications, which broadly speaking aren't performance-critical. So while x86 on a phone/tablet ARM SoC may not be fast, it need only be "good enough."
In any case, Windows 10's ability to scale and adapt to essentially any hardware platform is a remarkable feat of engineering, and it's what makes today's joint announcement with Qualcomm possible. The first devices with Snapdragon SoCs running the full Windows 10 experience should be available in the second half of 2017.
It will be interesting to see what shape these devices take and which companies produce them. Some new lower-cost, full-featured Windows 10 tablets would be a welcome addition, and Qualcomm has its eyes on the low-powered server market too with its Centriq product family. A Windows 10 smartphone with a Snapdragon SoC is also likely, but with Windows Phone 8 holding less than 1% global market share, according to Gartner, Microsoft is essentially starting from scratch. Will the benefits of universal apps be enough to lure software developers and users of other Windows products away from Android and iOS? Can Windows 10 reestablish Microsoft as a major player in the smartphone market, or is the hole it has dug over the past decade too deep?

Very good news. Just wondering how good can Win32/Win64 apps actually run on ARM platforms?
boskone - Wednesday, December 7, 2016 - link
I don't believe it supports 64-bit x86 emulation, just 32-bit. I think most Windows software (including games) is still 32-bit, though, so that shouldn't be a huge issue (assuming the emulation runs tolerably in the first place).

Based on.... ? Wouldn't amd64 be easier to implement on aarch64 since the bitnesses match?
basroil - Thursday, December 8, 2016 - link
"Based on.... ? Wouldn't amd64 be easier to implement on aarch64 since the bitnesses match?"
Actually it's far more difficult since you would need to add in BOTH 64 and 32bit instruction emulation rather than just 32bit. ARM doesn't play nicely with mixed bit situations
>you would need to add in BOTH 64 and 32bit instruction emulation
Why would you have to do that? Windows does not allow 32 bit code in a 64 bit process or vice versa. They would need only to implement support for long mode.
kuttan - Thursday, December 8, 2016 - link
ARM64 is not much different to AMD64 regarding the implementation of 64 bit support. Both architecture supports 64 bit as an extension to 32 bit support.
Senti - Thursday, December 8, 2016 - link
> Windows does not allow 32 bit code in a 64 bit process or vice versa.
It's completely false. Actually there are only 64 bit processes on 64 bit Windows and all of them have 64 bit ntdll.dll. "32 bit" processes then load WOW subsystem that creates appropriate 32 bit environment and translation layers. So you can use 64 bit code in "32 bit" processes if you know what you are doing.
Samus - Thursday, December 8, 2016 - link
I suspect the obvious reason for sticking with 32-bit x86 over x86-64 is for legacy 16-bit execution compatibility. As the article emphasized, this move is a purely legacy-focused one where performance is not the key metric, compatibility is. 64-bit windows environments can not run 16-bit code, and presumably emulated 64-bit windows environments have the same restriction.
This is actually the ONLY reason why Microsoft still even has a 32-bit SKU. Virtually every 32-bit program and piece of hardware from the last decade supports x86-64 windows environments, but 16-bit programs that were still being written as late as 2010, do not.
inighthawki - Friday, December 9, 2016 - link
Or, far more likely - time. It takes time to implement a feature like this, and x64 adds a lot to the ISA. Given that 95% of applications (and 99.99% of legacy business applications) are still 32-bit or have 32-bit versions, they probably decided to start with that. I'd bet good money that x64 support will come some time after first launch.

Someone correct me but wasn't the windows 10 build shown on the video a 64-bit Os?


The Centre for Risk and Insurance Studies (CRIS) at Nottingham University has now completed its preliminary analysis of the top 20 with-profits life insurers' returns to the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
Several life insurers have now published a 'realistic balance sheet' as part of their returns to the FSA: this shows that, on average they have 2.4 times the capital that would be needed to meet the effect of specified adverse financial conditions (the 'risk capital margin'). The traditional measure of solvency shows that life insurers' finances are healthier than a year ago, with the free asset ratio up by 2.7% points to 9.3% on average (though it was 22.5% in 1999).
Chris O'Brien, director of CRIS, commented: 'The new figures from the realistic balance sheet are more helpful than the traditional but artificial approach to solvency: the liabilities rightly reflect asset shares, and contain a more robust calculation of options and guarantees. However, the realistic balance sheet is not realistic in showing financial strength: it fails to include other capital that life insurers have available if needed; and the risk capital margin requirement does not cover all relevant risks.
'Part of the improvement in the traditional free asset ratio arises because nine of the 20 companies have used waivers from the traditional rules in calculating their liabilities: these remove some of the artificialities in the calculations (which has been a well-known problem) but it also means comparisons are difficult.
'Insurers are making less use of financial engineering: in 2002 they used £8.8bn of future profits and £2.4bn of other forms of financial engineering (such as financial reassurance): these figures are down to £4.2bn and £2.2bn respectively.
The survey of life insurers' FSA returns is at www.nottingham.ac.uk/business/cris.

Q: Why can't I access a form element id attribute using a dot syntax instead of an associate arary I have a simple form with some fields being set to "read only" via JS.
I don't don't understand is why this line works in my code:
mainForm[readonlyElms[i].id].setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");

Whereas this line throws up an error of "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined":
mainForm.readonlyElms[i].id.setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");

(simplified form):
<form>
 <input type="text" id="fname">
 <input type="text" id="lname">
 <input type="text" id="dob">
 <input type="tel" id="tel">
</form>

JS
var mainForm = document.forms[0];
var readonlyElms = [fname, lname, dob];
for (var i = 0, len = readonlyElms.length;
i < len;
i++) {

        //this line does the job
        //mainForm[readonlyElms[i].id].setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");

        //BUT why not this line???
        mainForm.readonlyElms[i].id.setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");
    }

I struggled to word the question title so please correct if the terms used are incorrect.
Thanks

A: Those lines do very different things.
The first:
mainForm[readonlyElms[i].id].setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");

Gets the value of readonlyElms[i] and then gets the value of its id property, then uses that value to look up a property with that name on mainForm, and then calls setAttribute on it.
The second:
mainForm.readonlyElms[i].id.setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");

...looks for a property on mainForm with the name readonlyElms, tries to get the property with the name from i from it, then tries to get that object's id, and then tries to call setAttribute on that id's value.
The reason for this is that the two syntaxes work differently:
Bracketed notation allows any expression within the brackets, evaluates that expression, coerces the result to a string (if necessary), and then looks up the property with the name defined by that string.
Dot notation uses the literal property name you type in the code.
So for instance, obj.foo is always looking up the foo property on obj, whereas obj[foo] is looking up whatever property name is held by the foo variable (which could be "fluglehorn" or anything else).
Sometimes examples help:
// These all look up the same property on the same object:

// Dot notation and a property name literal
obj.foo

// Bracketed notation and a string literal
obj["foo"]

// Bracketed notation using a variable
var f = "foo";
obj[f]

// Bracketed notation using the result of a concatenation expression
var o = "o";
obj["f" + o + o]

// Bracketed notation using the result of a function call expression
function bar() {
    return "foo";
}
obj[bar()]

I wanted to update you with more information about the launch of the Patients' Stories Library films including your interview.
The Patients' Stories Library DVD for NHS hospital staff will be launched during Carers week (10-16th June 2013). It will be comprised of 5 films including your interview and a film where Rory Farrelly explains what it is that we are trying to achieve through the use of patients' stories as a way of learning how we can provide an even better service.
Tommy shared his story with frontline staff working across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, including the Ward staff that cared for his mother at the Southern General hospital. His film interview was also shown across a number of NHSGGC hospital sites during Carers Week 2013 to help raise awareness amongst staff about the importance of supporting carers in contributing to delivering person centred care.
Tommy will be a familiar face to many people as a campaigner and public speaker for Dementia Carer Voices. Tommy has been working tirelessly to have the feedback, concerns and views of carers recognised in informing future service provision and in empowering carers themselves.
Carers play a crucial role in supporting health and social care. It is estimated that one in eight people in Scotland carry out an unpaid caring role. Tommy's story highlights that it is in everyone's interest that they are properly supported.
In order to care safely and in good health, carers need information, support, respect and recognition. Tommy's story highlights that taking on a caring role can sometimes mean facing periods of isolation, frustration and loneliness. Many carers struggle alone and do not know that help is available to them. Tommy's situation highlights how getting access to the right information at the right time can be vital in helping manage the impact of caring.
We know that carers experience many different caring situations. A carer could be someone looking after a new baby with a disability or caring for an elderly parent, or an elderly person looking after their husband/wife, or someone looking after a grandchild whose parents are unable to do so because of substance misuse problems. Despite these differing caring roles, all carers share similar basic needs.
Fantastic! Brilliant work, Tommy. Thanks to your relentless campaigning, hopefully other carers will not have to go through the hopelessness and isolation that sadly you and your dear Mum Joan often had to face.
Nice trip! All words I want to say.
Thank for open my eyes!

wings and things
Chapter 59: The serenade [1978?]
by jmgoyder
Before I left home (again) to pursue a nursing career in Perth, my mother invited Gar and Anthony for a goodbye dinner. They had already met my dad, the tall distinguished man with a BBC voice who also happened to be a chiropractor, but they didn't really know my mother.
It had been nearly six months since my dad had died but, because he had given his consent for my relationship with Anthony – a relationship that hadn't even developed yet – my mother, who had an instinct for romance, was supportive (reluctantly I am sure!) of me singing a song I had written for Anthony that night. Even though I still cringe with embarrassment at this memory, it may well be one of the most courageous things I have ever done. I had been playing the guitar and writing little songs for years but Anthony didn't know that.
So, after the meal was nearly over, and Gar and my mother were happily chatting over dessert, I beckoned Anthony to my parents' front veranda where my guitar was already placed. Of course he was a bit mystified but as we sat down and I reached for my guitar, he became almost as nervous as I was.
As my shaking fingers plucked the chords, I sang the following lyrics:
We've known each other for awhile, my old friend; we always make each other smile, my old friend. But I can't go only saying I'll miss you, when I know now I love you.
I can still hear the tune in my head! Anthony's nonplussed reaction was "Oh, Jules, you are so sweet!"
We returned into the house, Anthony awkward and me blushing, and Gar immediately said what she often said when I took too long to fetch a billy of milk: "You've been having a cuddle, haven't you."
Chapter 58: Confusion [from 2001]
Anthony seemed to me to become very confused about the difference between a coffee cup and a jar of vegemite and I began to notice some strange behaviours during this time. He, all of a sudden, it seemed to me, became incredibly inept at almost everything but he kept trying to work like he had always worked; trying to (irrationally) attach hoses to water tanks, trying to get the Aga working, trying constantly to be useful,
The Parkinsonism had a grip on him well before the diagnosis was confirmed but Anthony's Parkinson's wasn't the usual, recognisable type, with the tremors etc. Anthony had the kind of Parkinson's that slowed every single organ to become inept, stagnant, dysfunctional, so constipation was a major form of torture for him.
As Anthony's health deteriorated, our confusion about why and what was happening to him increased, I despaired. We had little Mingy by then and this added to our anxiety about why Anthony had succumbed to so many illnesses, and why he couldn't be a more functional father. Was it something genetic? Was it emotional hurt? Who knows. It was almost a relief when we got the diagnosis.
Parkinsonism.
Chapter 57: The accusations [1992]
One of the ways I quite like to deal with difficult memories, situations, and even people, is to view them through the lens of how interesting and/or how funny they are. The following situation is both of those, as well as being utterly bizarre.
In the months before Anthony and I were married, I would often come down from Perth via the train. Anthony would pick me up from the train station in the evening and whisk me back to the farm for the best roast chicken I have ever tasted. On one of these occasions, just days after we became engaged, he said he had a crazy story to tell me. "You'll need a drink, Jules."
Apparently, the previous day, his younger brother had come over and, again, begged Anthony not to marry me.
"Is it still the gold-digger thing?" I sighed, sipping happily on my gin and tonic.
"No, apparently he knows for a fact that you and Dr X conspired to euthanize Mum."
My sip turned into a choke: "What?"
Oh! I was so gob-smacked that I just sat there in disbelief. "So what did you say?" I asked eventually. I couldn't wrap my mind around how me sitting with Gar in the hospital for those last few days before she died, all those years ago, had been twisted into a murder mystery.
"I just told him to stop being ridiculous," Anthony said
I was shocked and disturbed by this extraordinary accusation but I also found it fascinating and, yes, well, almost funny. Anthony read my mind and grinned. "Well, did you?"
"Did I what?"
"Conspire with Dr X to euthanize Mum."
"I think I might have told you, Ants!"
As we ate our roast chicken, one or another of us kept exploding into fits of nervous laughter but eventually we calmed down. "Mum would be rolling in her grave," Anthony said.
"It's all pretty sad though, isn't it," I said, remembering how profoundly the experience of holding Gar's hand when she died had affected me.
And yes, of course these sorts of accusations were very sad but they were also very interesting and, strangely, very funny.
I'm pretty sure Gar, too, would be laughing….
Sadly.
Chapter 55: Gar's death [1979]
Several months after my dad died, so did Gar, my future mother-in-law, Anthony's beloved mother.
By that time, I had begun my nursing training at St John of God's hospital in Subiaco, Perth, and was also working part-time in a nearby nursing home; I was 200 kms away but I somehow got the week off when Gar died. I had kept in touch with this mother and son because I loved them – simple.
I didn't have a car so my mother, on her way to work as a teacher, would drop me off at the hospital where Gar was, then pick me up on her way home. I sat and talked to Gar every day, for around a week while her pneumonia turned deadly. When family members visited, I would remove myself from the situation in order to give them privacy. Once the family members left, I would return to hold her hand until my mother picked me up.
On top of her pneumonia, Gar had also suffered a stroke, so she was mostly unable to speak coherently. She was incredibly restless and frustrated so the staff would restrain her in her bed until I arrived. Extraordinarily (in today's context), I was allowed to provide and light her cigarettes.
Needless to say, it was a difficult week but I listened to her attempts to speak and sometimes pure sentences emerged in amongst her frustrated garble and "Look after Anthony" was one of these and I promised her a yes.
Chapter 54: Mingy! [January 5, 1994]
It was a terribly difficult birth but finally, after about 48 hours of Ming trying to stay put, he emerged, looking a bit like a giant frog. He was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen!
As soon as Anthony saw that this giant frog was his son, he held him in his arms and then abruptly left, pleading exhaustion and cow-milking obligations. It was 2am.
OMG he wasn't a giant frog at all; he was our little boy! Ming!
And in that moment of recognition, I understood all of the mysteries of the world.
Chapter 53: First date [1978]
It wasn't a date per se but it was memorable nevertheless. Anthony had decided to take me out for dinner as a way of saying goodbye before I left for the strange Bible college in Sydney.
I had never been taken out for dinner before so I was very nervous and shy. When Anthony picked me up from my parents' house, I was a bit nonplussed to see him looking rather dapper in his dressed-to-go-out clothes as I was so accustomed to seeing him in his dairy farmer attire – black football shorts and t-shirt.
I tried, and succeeded, not to swoon as he opened the passenger door of his beautifully polished car (I think it was the Torana A9X but it might have been the Holden GT- another story). We talked all the way to the restaurant in an adjacent town, Bunbury, but I have no recollection of what we talked about because, as well as the age gap, we had absolutely nothing in common.
At the time, Bunbury didn't have that many restaurants but Eagle Towers had a reputation for their cuisine, so that's where Anthony took me. The restaurant was a very old house and its conversion to an eating venue had included keeping the rather heavy decor – thick, red carpet and rather dramatic wallpaper in a black and white swirly pattern; it was almost brothel-like but of course I didn't know what a brothel looked like then, and still don't.
I remember how delicious the food was but I have no recollection of what we ate. It was probably dhufish which was very popular at the time. Anthony ordered a half bottle of champagne which I thought was terribly exciting. And, to finish off, we had Irish coffee which was also very exciting.
It would be so good if I could remember more details about this wonderful evening and I may, in fact, have misremembered some of the details about the decor, the food, our conversation, because none of those things really mattered. What mattered is/was how Anthony and I consolidated our connection as friends. The romance was just there, tentatively peeking through, but waiting in the wings. I already knew that I loved him with all my heart, but he didn't. Or maybe he did but wouldn't acknowledge it because I was so young.
I didn't want to leave Eagle Towers; I wanted to stay there forever with Anthony but eventually it came time to pay the bill. As I stood beside my handsome best friend, I felt an extraordinary sense of well-being until the waitress gave him the bill and he was $5 short. That kind of discrepancy wouldn't matter these days but, as the meal only came to $45, it was significant. Anthony was very embarrassed and I didn't have any cash so we found ourselves in a bit of an awkward situation.
Somehow Anthony resolved things and we laughed all the way home to my parents' house.
This is one of my favourite memories!
Chapter 52: Part of the furniture [2021]
Two years ago I sold the house and land to the dairy farmers whose farm adjoined ours and bought the little cottage I now live in. They are wonderful people and, like Anthony did, they love dairy farming. Packing up the house and farm was a nightmare of a job but they gave me a couple of months after the sale to do so and finally, on the 1st of January, 2020, I moved into my cottage with the two dogs, Jack and Pip.
The cottage was built as a kit home in 1994 and, despite being so tiny, most of Anthony's favourite pieces of antique furniture fit snugly in. The grandfather clock, the sideboard in which I found wads of money hidden, a china cabinet, the dining room table and chairs and the old armchairs seem now to have always been here.
Every single day I am filled with an almost effervescent joy at having found this cottage. It sits on a battle-axe block so isn't visible from the road and it faces a little pocket of forest beyond which is a park. There are beautiful wild birds of every type constantly at my bird feeders at the front and the back yard is big enough for the dogs to play in although I am sure they miss their rabbit hunting days.
One of the very best things about living here is that Ming has bought his own, much bigger, house and it is just around the corner. We found his house online so didn't realise how close it was to mine until the day we first had a look at it. If I go through the little forest and up a short path via the park I am on his road. On that day, the real estate agent laughed and asked Ming did he really want to live so close to his mother. But he and I are delighted!
Other than the occasional pang of nostalgia, I don't miss the farm at all. Without Anthony there it had long ceased to feel like home anyway, whereas this little cottage absolutely does. There is something about the way I have placed our beautiful furniture that is reminiscent of the farm house and this gives me such a sense of comfort, and a sense of Anthony's presence.
I thought it was only me who felt the Anthonyness of my little cottage but one friend, on visiting me here for the first time, walked in, looked around in a kind of disbelief, then said, "Anthony is here!"
Yes he is. Part of the furniture. No wonder I am so happy.
Chapter 51: Integrity [1999?]
The reason I have chosen to reference the unpleasant situation Anthony and I experienced during the first years of our marriage is because of how Anthony handled it. His enormous capacity to forgive, his generosity, and his unwavering desire to keep everyone happy is something I admire even more now with the benefit of hindsight. Forgiveness didn't come as easily to me because it was extremely difficult to witness the breaking of his heart. Also, I wanted him to fight back but he wouldn't. When I look back I am both amazed and proud; I had a husband with incredible integrity.
Dissolving a business partnership (especially, it seems, when it comes to farms) is almost like a divorce. Anthony didn't want to do this at all but his brother insisted. I wonder now why it was even necessary; we could have been one, slightly bigger, happy family, with the addition of me and, later, of Ming.
With the assistance of a single lawyer, Anthony and his brother eventually reached an agreement about the division of land and so on and the dissolution was signed. As I was packing up after selling the farm a couple of years ago, I found the empty bottle of expensive champagne he and I had consumed that evening. On the label I had written "Dissolution day!!!" and the date. I threw it in the rubbish because it no longer had any significance and that is why I am not quite sure of the date.
Anthony never, ever, reciprocated the animosity – not once – but as his health declined in so many dramatic ways, I did wonder if he had internalised his stress and grief at the situation. I was much more feisty and vociferous, but his sad, silent emotional pain had a profound effect on me and I became extremely protective of him.
It is very easy to romanticise the character of a loved one who has died but, in the context of the situation above, I can honestly say that Anthony's behaviour was faultless. Anthony did forgiveness with the ease in which a child does a cartwheel.
Integrity.
Chapter 50: To no avail [1993-2021]
In a previous chapter I mentioned how announcing our engagement to Anthony's younger brother's family was met with genuine joy. There were lots of hugs and kisses and congratulations and the champagne we had brought with us was consumed happily by the small throng that happened to be there anyway, most of the little blondies now adults. I remember catching a glance from my future sister-in-law and she seemed happy. Perhaps the brother's abrupt exit from the house was due to a sick cow? Anthony and I returned to the farm (just across the road) with one of their many nephews in tow and continued to drink champagne and Anthony's relief was potent. I didn't understand his relief any more than I understood his anxiety in the first place; I was so naive!
It was such a happy day and perhaps Anthony's consumption of champagne helped him to steel himself for what would come next and (at this point) he hadn't confided in me enough for me to understand anyway. When the brother came over the next day to tell Anthony that our marriage would be the end of their partnership, and I came back from grocery shopping to find my macho machine crying, I got a terrible shock.
The beautiful blonde wife, my big-sister figure for so many years, ghosted me from the day after our engagement announcement. I was absolutely mystified and remained so for many years because I didn't understand how her encouraging smile to me on that wonderful day had transmogrified into silence.
A few weeks ago I contacted the oldest daughter asking her the why? question. She is a lovely person but our conversation was fraught and we are no longer the teenage friends we were. She gave me some insights into her parents' point of view that actually fascinated me.
Of course I am not silly enough now to not realise how 56-year-old Anthony was their financial security, but I certainly didn't realise it back then. Anthony had helped to finance their children's private school educations and, even after we were married, he helped to finance his brother's house renovations, and investments. It was almost as if I had to be paid for – like a dowry situation.
But let's look at it from their point of view: Anthony's bachelorhood and workaholic tendencies ensured that they could live comfortably, even extravagantly. The loss of this very productive partner was a terrible blow to them financially. Apparently they were also worried that I would somehow come between the brothers and the irony that this happened, despite the fact that I didn't instigate this, still meant that I was blamed for the ensuing rift. Then there was the fact that they disapproved that Anthony's romantic relationship with me began before his other girlfriend had skedaddled. So, yes, I can see my in-laws' point of view, but it was their financial anxiety that was at the forefront of the cold war with us that began the day after we announced our engagement.
I was strangely relieved to hear from their daughter about why I have been so despised for so long, and it made a lot of sense, pragmatically, but no sense whatsoever, emotionally. Anthony was always very reluctant to tell me about his younger brother's ferocious attempts to regain Anthony's side of the farm after we were married but eventually my naive, newlywed self launched into lioness mode and I became a mathematician of sorts. Anthony's younger brother was in significant debt to the farm but Anthony was in the opposite position so he very generously overlooked much of this debt. As a result, what should have been a very simple half-and-half division of assets, became a very complicated dissolution journey that lasted eight years.
When Anthony forgave much of his younger brother's debt to the farm, and when he forgave this same brother and sister-in-law for the way they had treated me, I wanted to shake him out of his complacency. I wanted him to to tell them how much they had hurt him, but he would never do that. I am not so reticent; from the moment we announced our engagement to this family we loved so much, everything went to hell. Ants and I tried to make peace for years, to no avail.
This brother/sister-in-law are pretty elderly now so I think it is best for me to let them go and I have already learned how to forgive them for the way they mistreated my wonderful husband. Nevertheless, I have once again extended the olive branch via the daughter and their response is silence. I tried, genuinely, for Anthony's sake, for posterity, to make peace; we could have had such fun together and they could have bonded with Ming; they still could.
I have, like Anthony would have, offered to let bygones by bygones, to let all of the horribleness sleep, to make peace …
To no avail.
Chapter 49: The wink [1978]
I miss Anthony so much so that sometimes I forget to breathe.
Our love story was breathtaking because it was so unlikely; it wasn't just the 23-year age difference, it was also an enormous cultural shift for me, fresh off the mission fields of PNG, plonked into the local grammar school, unhappy with my freckles….
When Anthony first winked at me, over the meat-pies at his and Gar's dining room table, I thought I had imagined it but, when he winked again, I knew the wink was real. At the time, I didn't know what that wink meant and I am pretty sure Anthony didn't either. It was a tiny little breath of time, light and easy for him I guess, but rock solid for me.
My wonderful winking, laughing husband: I would give endless breaths to have one more wink.

App Will Allow Students to Report Safety Concerns
Social media and smartphones come in handy, but both have also contributed to changes in school culture that make life increasingly more difficult for students.
Bullying, threats of violence and other inappropriate behaviors are carried out using technologies that didn't exist a decade ago, creating new challenges for school administrators to handle.
Glynn County Schools is working toward solutions. The school system will launch a new program on Feb. 8 called "STOPit," an app that empowers students to help themselves and others by anonymously reporting problematic behaviors like bullying, cyberbullying, threats, hazing, self-harm and more.
"Our students in Glynn County have continued to express concern about having the ability to anonymously report concerns regarding safety, to include bullying and threats of harm without there being ridicule from their peers," said Senetra Haywood, director of student services for Glynn County Schools, in a press release. "It is our hope that STOPit will meet that need for our students."
Students can use the app, which is free to download, to submit anonymous reports that contain text messages, photos or videos. Their messages will be sent to school administrators, who will then have the ability to message the student who reports, conduct investigations and manage and mitigate risks in schools.
The STOPit platform includes a mobile app and back-end tracking and management system. Administrators will be equipped with STOPit Admin, a comprehensive, streamlined, cloud-based incident management system that also helps schools identify trends and send alerts.
"We are hopeful that during this implementation, Glynn County students will utilize this tool for its intended purpose, and our school administrators will be able to more effectively address any safety concerns that may arise in their schools," Haywood said.
Glynn County Schools has seen an increase recently in the number of schoolwide threats made by students. Threats have been written on school walls, posted on social media or sent out through schoolwide messages.
The rise in threats follows a national trend that has surged since the school shooting last year in Parkland, Fla.
The STOPit app is available to schools, universities, workplaces and governments. The program provides administrators with a tool to maintain better control of school climate.
The app will be piloted in Glynn County for students in grades 5-12. The app can be downloaded through the Apple Store and on Google Play.
"We believe our adoption of STOPit is an important step in our continued effort to provide a positive school climate and a safe learning environment for our students," Haywood said.

Citizen gives us a glimpse of Iranians in different countries at a time of international tension with Iran.
That tension goes back a long way with an Anglo-American covert operation in 1953 deposing Iran's Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, and more recently George W Bush referring to it as being part of "the axis of evil".
Last year, Trump put Iran on a list of countries blocked from entering the US causing the detention of hundreds of travellers and the suspension of thousands of visas along with the US Refugee Admissions Program.
All this has created a more complicated situation for those travelling between Iran and the West.
In the first minutes of the show, we hear the very moving song "Down We Go" with its sad words "Down we go to find a place, Down we go we don't know where."
The play's central thread concentrates on the stories of two people caught up in the harsh politics of our time.
The wrongful imprisonment in Iran of the British Iranian citizen Mrs Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is told mainly through her sensitive letters to her husband and small child, though we also hear Boris Johnson's foolish, untrue claim that she was training journalists; a statement that helped send her to jail for five years.
The journalist Behrouz Boochani (David Djemal) fled Iran when the Kurdish magazine he produced was raided by Islamic Revolutionary Guards.
Falling foul of Australia's crackdown on refugees, he was consigned to the appalling conditions of the Manus Island detention centre. Most of his story is derived from his diary of life in that centre.
Interspersed among their stories are the voices of other Iranians, songs and short amusing sketches.
The audience is also offered tea and dates.
We see the curious rituals of one Iranian meal where guests are politely greeted with words that translate as "I would like to eat your liver," and are bid a fond farewell that translates as "I want to sacrifice myself for you."
But the lighter moments are overshadowed by the verbatim accounts of Iranians unsettled by larger political events.
A man tells us how he dropped his friends off to work and while he parked the car his workplace blew up killing his friends.
A young woman describes how she suddenly abandoned a visit to her family in Iran even failing to say goodbye to her grandparents in order to get back to the US to finish her PhD. before Trump's travel ban became operational.
An Iranian American says she feels pressured to make an impossible cut of either her American or Iranian side.
The show is a rare opportunity to hear the stories of Iranians across the world. It is also a plea for greater understanding and tolerance.

A dynamic, interactive and multimedia space that contains more than 150 years of the iconic brand Campari, narrated for MyTemplArt by the director Paolo Cavallo.
Not only an aperitif, but a style of life. This is the aura that great artists such as Fortunato Depero, Bruno Munari, Ugo Nespolo, Marcello Dudovich embroidered around the brand Campari for years.
Campari Gallery expresses this engaging story showing the testimonies of the continuos and active fil rouge of product, art and communication, that always distinguished the image of the brand.
There're famous carousels of '70s, real tales in which the réclame of the product took place only in the last few seconds. Advertising spots, calendars signed by the most important photographers and embodied by international stars, amazing posters from Belle Epoque, advertising posters from '30s to '70s, the "Canzoniere Illustrato" and others.
An exhibition which gives little space to the representations of the machines for the production, moved in 2004 to Novi Ligure but still reflects the soul of the new headquarter of the brand in Sesto San Giovanni, founded by Davide Campari in 1904, transformed by the architect Mario Botta between 2007 and 2009. We talk to the director of Campari Gallery, Paolo Cavallo, about the iter inside the story of the red aperitif.
Alessandra Ghinato: How the idea of the company museum born? Which goals the gallery has got?
Paolo Cavallo: It was born in occasion of the 150° anniversary of Campari with the aim to give to consumers and the passionated a place which tells the story of the brand, of the company, of its advertising communication, of the link with the world of art.
The project wants to create an emotional, multimedia and interactive space, not only a celebration of the past but a place where the visitor is launched from the works of the past to the contemporary values of the brand.
Campari Gallery was developed during the urban transformation of the historical Campari factory of Sesto San Giovanni to the new headquarter of the group and came from the decision to maintain the original unit of the place of the first Campari factory and the new Company Museum.
A.G.: The story of Campari is recognized as emblem of synergic collaboration between art and company. What are the iconic artists of the brand?
Paolo Cavallo: Leonetto Cappiello, Marcello Dudovich, Marcello Nizzoli, Fortunato Depero, Bruno Munari, Ugo Nespolo are some of the most representative artists thata deeply marked our communication with their artworks.
Fortunato Depero started the collaboration with Campari in the 1926 for ten years. Artist among the most important of Futurism that legitimized the advertising as art, creating a total osmosis between them. With his incisive and immediate style produced for Campari more than 100 drawings, 60 of them are part of the historic archive and other 40 are placed in recognized institutions, such as Mart in Rovereto, Casa Depero and important private collections, such as Mattioli collection. These artworks are very known and requested from international museums, seven are currently at the glass museum of Murano for an exhibition on posters dedicated to the aperitif, ten have been provided to the Guggenheim of New York at the beginning of 2014 for an exhibition about Italian Futurism, fifteen borrowed to Juan March Foundation in Madrid for a show on Fortunato Depero in 2014, two sculptures and five inks were exhibited at Triennale in Milan for Arts & Foods in 2015.
Bruno Munari collaborated with Campari at the end of the '20s till the '60s with the famous manifesto, then started again in the '80s.
Many internationally well-known film-makers signed our commercials. For example, in 1984 Federico Fellini shot his first advertisement for a private brand. Thanks to the advertiser Franco Scepi, our aperitif was promoted by the Woman in Red, the protagonist of the homonym movie by Gene Wilder, pretty famous in the '80s.
A.G.: How does the brand express itself in the contemporary creativity?
Paolo Cavallo: Ugo Nespolo collaborated at his first project in 1990 for the World Cup and he's still working with us. In 2015 he projected a special label for the 3 litres limited edition bottle with the reinterpretation of the four most important cocktails realized with Campari. The designer Matteo Ragni projected the Triennale of Milano, institution we supported for three years. Beyond great artists and designers, we have collaborated with important film-makers and photographers. The current advertisement was shot by the film-maker Joel Schumacher and focuses the communication on the aperitif as social moment, contrary to the commercials from '80 to 2000, focused on couples, on the wait of what could happen.
The Indian film-maker Tarsem Singh signed a trilogy which made to appear, for the first time, on italian screens the female homosexuality in an amazing commercial set in the central station of Milan with scenographic painting of the artist Tamara de Lempicka.
Furthermore every year on Campari calendar international stars are portrayed by talented and famous photographers, such as Giovanni Gastel or Mario Testino.
A.G.: Are pieces of the collection used for marketing to promote your company?
Paolo Cavallo: In the last years, Art Label project have seen the valorization and reinterpretation of advertising images and drawing of many artists. Nespolo reinterprets the spirit and Depero's drawings in two limited editions in 2014 and 2015 and gives a new lecture of a 70 years old advertising. Last limited edition depicts an fair pavilion in occasion of Expo in 2015.
In 2014 for the 110 years of presence in Sesto San Giovanni, eleven street artists interpreted 110 metres of fencing wall of the public park nearby our headquarter for the project Redvolution 2.0. The wall was divided in eleven sections of ten metres for each artist and eleven manifestos of our archive were recreated, bonding the past artworks with the contemporary street artist thinking and requalifying a degraded environment of our city.
A.G.: What is the public of your gallery?
Paolo Cavallo: Our public is wide, it comes from every part of the world, also from far countries such as Canada and Argentina, of every age and social and cultural class. They are consumers and passionated, common people interested in the brand heritage, art lovers. Campari Gallery is visited by many cultural associations and school institutions, from Secondary Schools to Italian and international Universities. With some universities we have established a partnership, for example with the London Business School. Every years for the Master students we organized a meeting session with our CEO and investor relator who talk about the company and then they visit the gallery.
Our visitors are also barman, bartender, professionals of beverage sector and the students of the courses of Campari Academy.
A.G.: Any future initiatives and projects?
Paolo Cavallo: We will continue Campari on Tour, project in which part of the collection is exported out of the gallery. In 2013 we were in Vienna in occasion of a 15-days event about fashion and art, last September we were in Paris for a big event of our French distributor. For the Brera Art Week we were in two galleries in Brera district in Milan. Now we are working to take some posters to a bar in London on August and September and maybe we will go in Australia in two important art galleries in Melbourne and Sydney.
We will do other two Campari Wall, after the current "Different Perspective" dedicated to the German artist Barbara Probst exhibited until July 9th.
In September we will open our big exhibition of 2016, about which I can't unveil anything.

While Johnson was building Fort William Henry at one end of Lake George,
the French began Fort Ticonderoga at the other, though they did not
finish it till the next year. In the winter of 1757, hearing that the
English were making great preparations at Fort William Henry to attack
them, they resolved to anticipate the blow and seize that post by
surprise. To this end, Vaudreuil, Governor of Canada, sent a large
detachment from Montreal, while the small body of troops and provincials
who occupied the English fort remained wholly ignorant of the movement.
On St. Patrick's Day, the seventeenth of March, the Irish soldiers who
formed a part of the garrison of Fort William Henry were paying homage
to their patron saint in libations of heretic rum, the product of New
England stills; and it is said that John Stark's rangers forgot
theological differences in their zeal to share the festivity. The story
adds that they were restrained by their commander, and that their
enforced sobriety proved the saving of the fort. This may be doubted;
for without counting the English soldiers of the garrison who had no
special call to be drunk that day, the fort was in no danger till
twenty-four hours after, when the revellers had had time to rally from
their pious carouse. Whether rangers or British soldiers, it is certain
that watchmen were on the alert during the night between the eighteenth
and nineteenth, and that towards one in the morning they heard a sound
of axes far down the lake, followed by the faint glow of a distant fire.
The inference was plain, that an enemy was there, and that the necessity
of warming himself had overcome his caution. Then all was still for some
two hours, when, listening in the pitchy darkness, the watchers heard
the footsteps of a great body of men approaching on the ice, which at
the time was bare of snow. The garrison were at their posts, and all the
cannon on the side towards the lake vomited grape and round-shot in the
direction of the sound, which thereafter was heard no more.
Those who made it were the detachment, called by Vaudreuil an army, sent
by him to seize the English fort. Shirley had planned a similar stroke
against Ticonderoga a year before; but the provincial levies had come in
so slowly, and the ice had broken up so soon, that the scheme was
abandoned. Vaudreuil was more fortunate. The whole force, regulars,
Canadians, and Indians, was ready to his hand. No pains were spared in
equipping them. Overcoats, blankets, bearskins to sleep on, tarpaulins
to sleep under, spare moccasins, spare mittens, kettles, axes, needles,
awls, flint and steel, and many miscellaneous articles were provided, to
be dragged by the men on light Indian sledges, along with provisions for
twelve days. The cost of the expedition is set at a million francs,
answering to more than as many dollars of the present time. To the
disgust of the officers from France, the Governor named his brother
Rigaud for the chief command; and before the end of February the whole
party was on its march along the ice of Lake Champlain. They rested
nearly a week at Ticonderoga, where no less than three hundred short
scaling-ladders, so constructed that two or more could be joined in one,
had been made for them; and here, too, they received a reinforcement,
which raised their number to sixteen hundred. Then, marching three days
along Lake George, they neared the fort on the evening of the
eighteenth, and prepared for a general assault before daybreak.
The garrison, including rangers, consisted of three hundred and
forty-six effective men. The fort was not strong, and a resolute assault
by numbers so superior must, it seems, have overpowered the defenders;
but the Canadians and Indians who composed most of the attacking force
were not suited for such work; and, disappointed in his hope of a
surprise, Rigaud withdrew them at daybreak, after trying in vain to burn
the buildings outside. A few hours after, the whole body reappeared,
filing off to surround the fort, on which they kept up a brisk but
harmless fire of musketry. In the night they were heard again on the
ice, approaching as if for an assault; and the cannon, firing towards
the sound, again drove them back. There was silence for a while, till
tongues of flame lighted up the gloom, and two sloops, ice-bound in the
lake, and a large number of bateaux on the shore were seen to be on
fire. A party sallied to save them; but it was too late. In the morning
they were all consumed, and the enemy had vanished.
It was Sunday, the twentieth. Everything was quiet till noon, when the
French filed out of the woods and marched across the ice in procession,
ostentatiously carrying their scaling-ladders, and showing themselves to
the best effect. They stopped at a safe distance, fronting towards the
fort, and several of them advanced, waving a red flag. An officer with a
few men went to meet them, and returned bringing Le Mercier, chief of
the Canadian artillery, who, being led blindfold into the fort,
announced himself as bearer of a message from Rigaud. He was conducted
to the room of Major Eyre, where all the British officers were
assembled; and, after mutual compliments, he invited them to give up the
place peaceably, promising the most favorable terms, and threatening a
general assault and massacre in case of refusal. Eyre said that he
should defend himself to the last; and the envoy, again blindfolded, was
led back to whence he came.
The whole French force now advanced as if to storm the works, and the
garrison prepared to receive them. Nothing came of it but a fusillade,
to which the British made no reply. At night the French were heard
advancing again, and each man nerved himself for the crisis. The real
attack, however, was not against the fort, but against the buildings
outside, which consisted of several storehouses, a hospital, a saw-mill,
and the huts of the rangers, besides a sloop on the stocks and piles of
planks and cord-wood. Covered by the night, the assailants crept up with
fagots of resinous sticks, placed them against the farther side of the
buildings, kindled them, and escaped before the flame rose; while the
garrison, straining their ears in the thick darkness, fired wherever
they heard a sound. Before morning all around them was in a blaze, and
they had much ado to save the fort barracks from the shower of burning
cinders. At ten o'clock the fires had subsided, and a thick fall of snow
began, filling the air with a restless chaos of large moist flakes. This
lasted all day and all the next night, till the ground and the ice were
covered to a depth of three feet and more. The French lay close in their
camps till a little before dawn on Tuesday morning, when twenty
volunteers from the regulars made a bold attempt to burn the sloop on
the stocks, with several storehouses and other structures, and several
hundred scows and whaleboats which had thus far escaped. They were only
in part successful; but they fired the sloop and some buildings near it,
and stood far out on the ice watching the flaming vessel, a superb
bonfire amid the wilderness of snow. The spectacle cost the volunteers a
fourth of their number killed and wounded.
On Wednesday morning the sun rose bright on a scene of wintry splendor,
and the frozen lake was dotted with Rigaud's retreating followers
toiling towards Canada on snow-shoes. Before they reached it many of
them were blinded for a while by the insufferable glare, and their
comrades led them homewards by the hand.

Assuming that the climate will remain unchanged would be a mistake.
A natural disaster is an extreme natural phenomenon causing significant damage in the area covered by this phenomenon, leaving often a changed view of the earth's surface. It also causes high losses in the human economy, can change the state of nature and even threaten human life.
flood, drought, extensive fire, earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, hurricane, tornado, heavy snowfall and snow avalanches, extreme heat or frost, especially in the long term, landslides, cosmic disasters – meteorite collapse, meteor explosion, explosion a close supernova.
However, at least in relation to some of the above-mentioned weather phenomena, one has to add "unusual for a given area". Currently, more and more cases of natural disasters for specific areas are treated not as an undesirable phenomenon but, on the contrary, as an indispensable element stabilizing a given ecosystem, especially on the scale of longer time intervals. Thus, the concept of natural disaster refers to the impact that it exerts on man rather than on nature.
Increasing the number of natural disasters in the world and the damages caused by them are associated with a number of global social and natural processes. One of the causes of social and material losses is the rapid population of the Earth. The second reason is the human impact on the environment, which causes the activation of dangerous phenomena, such as hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, landslides, erosion.
Global warming can have a positive and negative impact on the environment. But first the warming provokes an increase in the number and scale of natural disasters.
How far climate change is conducive to the growth of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, droughts, floods?
This is due to a whole range of physical causes. In warmer climates, there is a total more energy in the system that heats the circulating water. Raising the temperature of the oceans can lead to an increase in the strength of tropical winds. Warmer air absorbs more water vapor, which favors extreme rainfall. Evaporation takes place faster, which with the same amount of precipitation causes soil drying and droughts. Receiving phenomena as extreme depends, moreover, on what we have been accustomed to so far.
Damage caused by flooding can be huge – people and animals are killed, entire villages are destroyed. Hundreds, even thousands of square kilometers of arable land are devastated because crops and fertile soil are washed away or covered with a thick layer of silt. In densely populated regions of less-developed countries, flooding of crops and death of domestic animals may cause widespread hunger. Floods are destroyed by roads, bridges, railways and sources of water and energy supply to the public. Broken sewers and the lack of clean water can lead to the rapid spread of diseases (cholera, typhoid, dysentery). Damage also includes soil erosion, which is washed away by a strong stream of water and lifted with it. This problem is exacerbated by the regulation of the riverbed, natural flood plains, and large areas of forests have been cut down for cultivation or construction. Forest vegetation acts like a sponge, storing excess water. If there is no forest, the soil is unable to absorb so much water, which then flows down the surface, causing flooding and soil erosion in low-lying areas. Destruction of the forest cover, together with the burning of fossil fuels and wood, is also the cause of the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which in turn increases the temperature and climate change on the whole Earth.
Prior to the threat of drought or forest fires, you can often be warned a few months or weeks ahead. In the case of an earthquake, this period is several seconds. We are still not able to predict the time, place and strength of the quake, but we can quite accurately assess the danger involved. Also the calculation with a 50-percent probability that a powerful earthquake could take place in the next 20 years is a warning. On this basis, precautions can be taken. Tighten building codes, strengthen unstable homes and improve the functioning of emergency medicine.

Oath Keepers boss guilty of seditious conspiracy in January 6 case
By Lindsay Whitehurst, Alanna Durkin Richer and Michael Kunzelman
Capitol Riot
Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, is seen on a screen during a House Select Committee hearing to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the US Capitol, in the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on June 9, 2022. (
WASHINGTON - Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted Tuesday of seditious conspiracy for a violent plot to overturn Democrat Joe Biden's presidential win, handing the Justice Department a major victory in its massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
A Washington, D.C., jury found Rhodes guilty of sedition after three days of deliberations in the the nearly two-month-long trial that showcased the far-right extremist group's efforts to keep Republican Donald Trump in the White House at all costs.
The rarely used, Civil War-era charge calls for up to 20 years behind bars.
Rhodes didn't go inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, but was accused of leading a plot that began shortly after the 2020 election to wage an armed rebellion to stop the transfer of presidential power.
PREVIOUS: Oath Keepers sought to violently overthrow government after 2020 election, feds say
Through recordings and encrypted messages, jurors heard how Rhodes rallied his followers to fight to keep Trump in office, warned of a possible "bloody" civil war and expressed regret that the Oath Keepers didn't bring rifles to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
In an extraordinary move, Rhodes and two other defendants took the stand in their defense, opening themselves up to intense questioning from prosecutors. Rhodes told jurors there was no plan to attack the Capitol and insisted that his followers who went inside the building went rogue.
On trial alongside Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, were Kelly Meggs, leader of the Florida chapter of the Oath Keepers; Kenneth Harrelson, another Florida Oath Keeper; Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer from Virginia; and Jessica Watkins, who led an Ohio militia group.

I can't believe that this is the last post for Fall Fest. Without too many tears, I wish to give all of you a heartfelt thanks for including me in this wonderful celebration of produce, friends and great recipes (my sort of party).
So, for this final post, I thought I would focus on last-minute Thanksgiving sides-perhaps to keep a hold of for next year, if your menu, like mine, has mostly congregated in your refrigerator by now. However, the Butternut Squash Biscuits I'm about to share also make great magicians for leftover piles of mashed sweet potatoes or mashed, roasted squash.
I hope that this recipe finds you in great anticipation for a great celebration of produce, friends and great recipes of your own. So, cheers to Fall Fest and a very happy Thanksgiving for you all.
Combine first 6 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until pea-sized pieces remain. In a medium bowl, whisk together squash and buttermilk; pulse into flour mixture.
Turn dough out onto a generously floured work surface; pat dough into a 1 to 2-inch disk. Use a floured 2 ½-inch cutter to cut rounds. Transfer rounds to a rimmed baking sheet; bake in a preheated 375° oven until puffed and golden around edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
To Freeze: If you're freezing the biscuits, transfer dough rounds to a wax-paper lined plate. Freeze on plate until solid; transfer frozen biscuits to an airtight bag and freeze up to 1 month. To bake frozen biscuits, arrange biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375° oven about 20 minutes.
