OpenType Myths Explained
By Ralf Herrmann | July 30, 2010 | Views: 13812
OpenType is the standard font format of these days. But even 14 years after its introduction, many users don't really know what the term OpenType implies and how it differs from other font formats. Time to shed some light on this confusing subject …
First of all, it's important to know that OpenType is not as new as some marketing claims try to suggest. It is directly based on the TrueType specifications, or to be even more precise: it is based on Apple's SFNT ("Spline Font") format originally developed for QuickDraw. You can think of OpenType as "TrueType 1.5".
It uses the same basic structure as a TrueType font, but with some optional features stored in additional tables within the font. Which brings us to our first myth:
OpenType brought cross-platform compatibility
Wrong! Until MacOS 9 both TrueType and PostScript Type1 fonts had to be delivered as separated versions for PC and Mac. This was in large parts due to the way Apple stored font information in the resource fork of a file. Since MacOS 10 the new Mac operating system also supports data fork fonts, such as Windows TrueType fonts. So platform compatibility was made possible by this change from Apple, not by the introduction of a new font format. But since OpenType is directly based on the file structure of a (Windows) TrueType font, OpenType is also cross-platform compatible.
OpenType fonts have a larger character set
Just partly true. The old PostScript Type1 fonts usually had just an 8 bit encoding like Mac Roman, which only allowed to address 256 characters. This made setting different languages or writing systems a pain. Different font files of the same typeface (like Helvetica CE/Greek/CYR) had to be used in one document and without these fonts installed the text could not be displayed properly. OpenType with its Unicode support clearly solved this dilemma, but then again: this was not something that was developed specifically for OpenType. The older TrueType fonts also supported Unicode and larger character sets. What OpenType really introduced was a new way to access these larger character sets. Instead of just accessing them via their Unicode, they can now be accessed using OpenType features, like the LIGA feature, which (for example) automatically replaces every instance of f and i with an fi-ligature. Or the AALT feature which allows you to access all alternative versions of a glyph in the Glyph Palette of InDesign. But then again: Having an OpenType font doesn't mean that all those features and extended character sets are really there. You can turn a TrueType font into an OpenType font by just adding one fi-ligature as an OpenType feature. So as you can see: Drawing a strict line between TrueType and OpenType as two separate formats often doesn't make any sense at all. Often people ask, how they can convert old TrueType fonts to OpenType. But this would be completely pointless since there is nothing to gain from such a conversion, unless the font foundry itself decides to really add additional glyphs and features.
OpenType is more reliable, compatible and better supported than TrueType
Wrong! Users often think they should generally prefer OpenType over TrueType, mainly because of the bad reputation the TrueType format still has. But this is a myth of its own. It comes from the early 1990s when "professional" fonts were usually PostScript Type1 only and thousands of TrueType fonts of poor quality were used by semi-professionals and such fonts caused problems with the Raster Image Processors when used in print. But these days are long gone. Today there is no reason to avoid TrueType fonts anymore and as I have explained before, a TrueType font and an OpenType font can be almost identical. OpenType is not even more compatible, as some users like to think. Since OpenType is a superset of TrueType, whenever there is OpenType support, there is also TrueType support.
OpenType fonts render badly in Windows
Depends! I heard this myth a lot recently in all this talk about webfonts. What is really meant here is that PostScript outlines may look bad in Windows, because they might be shown without subpixel rendering (ClearType). It is very important to know that an OpenType font might be either TrueType-flavoured or PostScript-flavoured. TrueType outlines use quadratic Bézier splines and PostScript outlines use cubic Bézier splines. So if we want talk about the outlines of a font, using the term OpenType alone makes no sense at all! We already established that a TrueType-flavoured OpenType font is like a TrueType font with some optional OpenType features. A PostScript-flavoured OpenType font is the same thing, but the part that defines the TrueType outlines (the "glyf table") is here replaced by a "CFF table" (Compact File Format). That's why PostScript-flavoured OpenType fonts are also sometimes called CFF-based OpenType fonts.
So if the outline format matters it is really recommended to speak of TrueType- or PostScript-flavoured OpenType fonts. Common abbreviations are OpenType TT and OpenType PS.
So, TrueType fonts use .ttf and OpenType fonts use .otf, right?
Wrong! Unfortunately, the suffix doesn't tell you for sure what you have. OTF is mostly used for PostScript-flavoured OpenType fonts, but according to the OpenType specifications TrueType-flavoured OpenType fonts can also use .otf. TTF on the other hand is both used for regular TrueType fonts and for TrueType-flavoured OpenType fonts. This makes sense, since as we have learned before, these types of fonts are pretty similar. By keeping the old TTF file extension TrueType-flavoured OpenType fonts can work in older apps and operating systems that have no specific OpenType support. The fonts are then treated as regular TrueType fonts and the OpenType features are simply ignored.
But I can tell the font format from the icon, right?
Wrong! If you look into the font folder of a Windows XP or Vista installation you see some fonts with an OpenType icon and some fonts with a TrueType icon. Again, these will not tell you for sure, what type of font you have. PostScript-flavoured OpenType fonts will have the OpenType icon, but it gets complicated for TrueType fonts. Microsoft decided to base the icon on the existence of a digital signature which was also introduced in the OpenType specifications. This means, TrueType-flavoured OpenType fonts might have an OpenType icon (if they have a signature) or they just might look like a regular TrueType font (if they don't have a signature).
Windows users might install the Font Properties Extensions which will give more detailed information about the installed fonts, including the OpenType features of OpenType fonts.
But OTF means "OpenType Font", right?
Well, … While it is true that OTF means OpenType Font, I generally advise people not to use the abbreviation OTF when one wants to talk about OpenType fonts in general. OTF is usually (but not necessarily) the file extension of a PostScript-flavoured OpenType font, so if one talks about "OTF fonts" it's not really clear if this should exclude TrueType-flavoured OpenType fonts or not. I recommend to speak of "OT Fonts" for OpenType fonts in general and "OpenType TT" and "OpenType PS" if the outline format matters.

In Niedermeyer v Charlton,  BCCA 165, the B.C. Court of Appeal provided further clarification on the effect of such releases. A majority of the Court held that vehicle owners/operators cannot contract out of liability for damages for personal injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident.
In Niedermeyer the Plaintiff participated in a zip lining activity operated by the Defendant, Ziptrek Ecotours Inc. ("Ziptrek"). Ziptrek also operated a bus, which brought participants to and from the activity. The Plaintiff was injured while returning from the activity area when the bus left the road, overturned, and fell down a hill. She had signed a waiver that released Ziptrek from liability for both the zip line activity and transportation to and from the activity. All three judges agreed that the release was valid and not unconscionable. However, the Court was divided on the issue of whether the release was contrary to public policy to the extent that it released the Defendant from liability for transportation to and from the site of the zip line activity.
Of particular importance in the decision was B.C.'s statutory vehicle insurance scheme, collectively found in the Insurance Corporation Act, RSBC 1996, c 228, the Insurance (Vehicle) Act, RSBC 1996, c 231, the Insurance (Vehicle) Act, Regulations, B.C. Reg 447/83, and the Motor Vehicle Act, RSBC 1996, c 318. The scheme combines no-fault insurance benefits with those that require a claimant to first establish liability before ICBC will indemnify an insured motorist for the injuries suffered by the claimant. Allowing owners/operators to contract out of liability would preclude a claimant from the latter category of benefits.
The statutory scheme does not explicitly prohibit or permit an owner or driver to contract out of liability. However, the majority found that the scheme taken as a whole showed that there was a compelling public policy interest at stake - namely, to provide a universal, compulsory insurance program in an effort to ensure safety on the roads and access to compensation to people who suffer when those measures fail.
In addition to contravening public policy, the majority held that allowing vehicle owners/operators to contract out of liability would be against the principles of statutory interpretation. It found that reading the words of the statutory scheme in their context, harmoniously with the whole of the scheme and the purpose of it, supported the view that the legislature did not intend to allow vehicle owner/operators to have the ability to exclude the operation of otherwise universal compulsory insurance.
In a strongly worded dissent, Hinkson J. (now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of B.C.) acknowledged that the Insurance (Vehicle) Act provided for universal compulsory vehicle insurance, but held that it did not prohibit drivers and passengers from contracting out of the scheme between themselves. He reasoned that had the legislature intended that the scheme could not be contracted out of then it would have expressly stated as such in the Insurance Vehicle Act. Hinkson J. also noted that the Plaintiff was still eligible for no-fault benefits. He held that these benefits were consistent with public policy in B.C. and were not inconsistent with the ability of commercial operators to contract out of liability for transportation that was part and parcel of the inherently risky activity offered. In the result, the Court allowed the Plaintiff's appeal and remitted the case to the Supreme Court to assess her injuries.
It seems odd that commercial operators who offer zip lining, bungee jumping, horseback racing, or base jumping can contract out of negligence for these inherently risky activities but not for driving participants to and from the activity areas. As Hinkson J. noted in his dissent, the only cases where parties have not been allowed to contract out of statutory rights despite no prohibition against contracting out are cases of human rights violations. The majority of the Court of Appeal seems to have elevated the status of the public policy interest behind B.C.'s statutory vehicle insurance scheme. Indeed, Madam Justice Garson held that "the ICBC regime is intended as a benefit for the public interest just as is human rights legislation" (para 114). Justice Hinkson's dissent provides for a possible appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada or the foundation for Courts in the future to overturn the decision. For now, however, commercial operators should beware that any releases containing waivers of liability will most likely be found unenforceable to the extent that they purport to release liability for motor vehicle accidents.


Treasury Secretary Geithner sent a special letter to every member of Congress today warning them that the U.S. could reach its debt limit as early as March 31st of this year. He said that if lawmakers fail to raise the debt limit, it could "precipitate a default by the United States." As of today, the national debt stands at $14.01 trillion and growing, which is not far from the current debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion.
The debt ceiling is a cap that Congress sets on the amount of debt that the government can borrow. Although the debt limit has been raised 10 times since 2001, the debt ceiling is important because it helps Congress control spending. Each time the debt ceiling is raised, lawmakers are forced to actively assess the state of U.S. fiscal finances. If the debt ceiling is reached (and it never has been), the Treasury would not legally be permitted to borrow additional money.
The reason why this could "precipitate a default" according to Geithner is because the U.S. government funds operations and pays its creditors by borrowing. If they are unable to borrow, they are unable to make up the difference between what they spend and what they take in and if left unresolved this could lead to a default. Even a hint of default risk could cause rating agencies to downgrade their outlook for U.S. debt which would be enough to cause the dollar to nose-dive. For this reason, Geithner's warning should not be taken lightly.

What happened to Vermont's export economy?
Art Woolf
Free Press contributor
Last year Vermont businesses exported $3.2 billion worth of goods to other nations. Three billion is a big number, but like all economic numbers, it has to be put in perspective. If that perspective is a temporal one, there are reasons to be worried.
That $3.2 billion of exports was thirteen percent less than 2014 exports, and 2014 was less than 2013. Vermont's exports have fallen every year since 2010, when they were nearly $4.3 billion. That's an overall decline of twenty-five percent, a decline that is not happening nationally. Last year, U.S. businesses exported $1.5 trillion worth of goods, up more than seventeen percent since 2010.
Podcast: Art Woolf explains Vermont's export markets to staff writer Joel Banner Baird
The Census Bureau doesn't identify the names of companies that export, but a close analysis of the data gives us some insight into who is doing the exporting and what's going on. First, looking at geography, exports to our largest trading partner, Canada, fell to $1.17 billion, a huge decline of nearly 30% from 2014 and the lowest level in more than a decade.
Second, exports to Asia also declined. Vermont's second, third, and fourth largest export markets are Hong Kong, Malaysia, and China. Those three countries combined took in $750 million of Vermont-made goods. The sixth and seventh largest export markets are also in Asia—South Korea and Taiwan—and they add another $240 million to our export total.
Vermont businesses sold $1.24 billion worth of goods to all the Asian nations combined, which made it a slightly larger market for Vermont goods than Canada. But just as exports to Canada fell, so too did exports to those Asian markets. Last year they declined by 3.4% and they're down by a hefty 30% since 2010. So Vermont businesses have reduced their exports to our two largest export markets, Canada and Asia, last year and for the past five years.
The only bright spot is what I've called the rest of the world, which is essentially Europe and Latin America. The latter is primarily Mexico, our fifth largest export market, which took $213 million of Vermont products last year. That was an increase from only $62 million in 2010 and $39 million five years earlier. European exports stood at $394 million in 2015, up a scant $15 million from 2014. But at least they increased.
We also know something about the types of goods Vermont firms export and that gives us clues about who's doing the exporting. By far the single largest type of product exported from Vermont is integrated circuits and similar products. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist, or in this case an electrical engineer, to figure out that's GlobalFoundries — which until recently was the IBM plant in Essex Junction.
GlobalFoundries' exports amounted to $1.7 billion in 2015, more than half of Vermont's total exports. Vermont's exports of integrated circuits, which essentially means GlobalFoundries' production, declined by $450 million last year. That just about matches the overall $493 million decline in overall state exports from 2014 to 2015.
Given that most of Vermont's export decline was due to GlobalFoundries, it makes sense that Vermont's exports declined to Canada and to Asia. GlobalFoundries, and before that IBM, sent a lot of its exports to other IBM plants in Canada and Asia, as well as to other companies' plants in Asia.
In that regard, Vermont exports are similar to overall U.S. exports. Most are not consumer goods going to individuals—that is, they're not Ben and Jerry's ice cream or quarts of maple syrup. They are components of other goods that Vermont businesses send to other businesses as part of the increasingly complex, interconnected global supply chains that all companies are involved in.
The chips that Global Foundries produces in Essex, or the jet engine fan blades that the Rutland GE plant makes, are sent to other factories. Vermont chips go to an IBM plant in Bromont, Quebec. Then they could be sent back to another IBM plant in the U.S. or to an IBM plant abroad or to another customer. Eventually those chips find themselves inserted into a video game console or cell phone, or into some other piece of electronics that is assembled in China or anywhere in the world and then bought by you. Where was that product actually produced? All over the world, not just where the final assembly occurred.
We should be concerned about the decline in Vermont exports. Businesses that export pay higher wages than businesses that don't. They show, by their exports, that they are world-class producers and are therefore much more likely to survive and grow in the competitive world marketplace. It's not easy to figure out what we can do to stimulate exports, but it's vitally important that more Vermont firms enter and thrive in the global marketplace.

That sentiment was voiced by Greg Whiteley, director of AFI Docs Spotlight feature "Most Likely To Succeed." The film, which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, examines new alternatives to our outdated education system — but it also sums up the task of advocacy filmmakers. Showing the film to attentive audiences is only the first step on the long road to social change.
This month, the Human Rights Watch (June 11 – 21) and AFI Docs (June 17-21) Film Festivals will help filmmakers such as Whiteley along that protracted path, enabling them to make some noise in two of the world's most important cities — and maybe even change the world for the better.
"That's what attracted to me to AFI Docs," said incoming festival director Michael Lumpkin. "Because of where it's located geographically in the seat of one of the most important places on earth for legislation, the festival is in a unique position to bring filmmakers to organizations and people that can really move things forward." Indeed, at past editions of the festival, legislators and government officials, including Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Eric Holder, and Barbara Boxer, have all shown up at festival screenings.
Similarly, Andrea Holley, Strategic Director at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, said the event's mission to seek "accountability and justice" is bolstered by New York City's media centers, as well as such important like-minded area organizations as the United Nations. "New York is important to us because it's global," she said.
Backed by Participant Media, "3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets" is hurdling forward on a significant outreach campaign to "spark a national dialogue about implicit bias," said producer Carolyn Hepburn. The Sundance premiere is a riveting chronicle of the shooting death of African American teenager Jordan Davis by a white middle-aged Florida man and the ensuing court case. Working with such organizations as the Perceptions Institute, the PICO National Network's Live Free Campaign (which is made up of faith-based minority groups), Million Hoodies Movement for Social Justice, and Cities United, the "3 ½ Minutes" team see the film as a "valuable tool" to challenge racial assumptions perpetuated by the mass media, according to Orlando Bagwell, another producer on the project.
With that goal in mind, the producers have also aligned with Senator Richard Durbin, a supporter of the film, who is inviting fellow legislators to AFI Docs screenings.
While Whiteley's "Most Likely to Succeed" has already screened for governors, U.S. senators, presidential candidates, and local legislators, AFI Docs will mark the film's D.C. premiere, where Whiteley is looking forward to showing the film to key decision-makers in the seat of U.S. power.
AFI Docs will facilitate that connection through its inaugural "Impact Lab." Working with Picture Motion, a marketing and advocacy firm for issue-driven films, AFI Docs has invited seven filmmakers, including Whiteley, to meet with potential outreach partners, learn how to work with legislators, and then present their films to policymakers on Capitol Hill.
"We hope to take advantage of the political and social landscape that Washington, DC and AFI offers," said another Impact Lab participant Geeta Gandbhir, co-director of "A Conversation with My Black Son," which follows racially diverse parents discussing racism with their kids. Gandbhir and the "Conversation" team are employing their screenings as "a launching point to connect with organizations that address racial equity locally and nationally," she said.
Meanwhile, in New York, director Julia Bacha, who is an "impact producer" on Amer Shomali and Paul Cowan's Human Rights Watch selection "The Wanted 18," said they're also launching a campaign around the film in conjunction with their festival premiere. The light-hearted political documentary, which chronicles the Israeli army's pursuit of 18 cows on a Palestinian farm and the peaceful acts of civil disobedience that followed, "can shift the mainstream narrative of the First Intifada and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general," said Bacha.
In order to get a big media boost, Democracy Now! radio journalist Amy Goodman has been tapped to lead a discussion after their Human Rights Watch premiere. The following week, the film opens in theaters, via Kino Lorber; in addition, the team will also be holding "influencer screenings" and utilizing Gathr for interested parties to organize their own theatrical screenings.
"We are in conversations with over a dozen national and constituency-based organizations that are interested in learning more about how their members can use our Gathr campaign to host important conversations about Israel-Palestine beyond major American cities," explained Bacha, who, with past films, has partnered with such organizations as the Telos Group, which is focused on engaging evangelical leaders in an honest conversation about Israel and Palestine, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Jewish Voice for Peace, and T'ruah, which trains Rabbis.
This year, for example, the Festival will unveil, in a special program on digital storytelling, a Human Rights Watch produced project called "The Unraveling," about the humanitarian crisis in the Central African Republic. The festival has also programmed "The Trials of Spring," a project about leading female figures in the Arab Spring, which includes a feature-length documentary, as well as six short films and articles, which launched on the New York Times over the weekend.
In addition to partnering with such groups as Peace is Loud, MediaStorm, and BoomGen Studios to execute a grassroots and social media strategy "aimed at building a robust conversation about women and their unwavering quest for social justice and freedom in the Arab world," said "Trials of Spring" director Gini Reticker, the film's transmedia presence is essential to keeping the its narratives current.


Knit with a blend of alpaca and wool that's soft, lofty and warm, the Plutarch is beyond plush. The silhouette is intentionally boxy, which only amps up the cozy factor.
This sweater is something I do wear often but it is a little itchy. Super soft but the itchy feel makes me like it a little less. Fits really big .
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves it!!Super soft and comfortable. Amazing quality and style.This has become her 'go to' sweater. Great item for all occasions.
Very cute but it is a little itchy.
One of the best purchases I've made, not only is the quality amazing but its so cozy and warm and the price cannot be beat. Whatever top size you normally are is what size you should order in the sweater as it is slightly larger and will be lose. Although i am a size small i ordered it in a medium to compensate for my long arms, but its one of the nicest sweaters i have.
I love this sweater. It's so cozy but without being too hot, I can easily wear it around all day without getting overheated but it's also good to layer on colder days. Definitely recommend.
Very nice sweater, soft and warm! Absolutely love it!
Love this sweater so much. It is super warm and very cozy. When I put this on, it gives me a cottage comfort where I know it is super warm and I can be in it all day. I orderes both XS and S to see which fit I liked better and ended up keeping the XS.
You can't go wrong with this staple piece. It's a must in your wardrobe. Cute with jeans and booties for a casual look or with dress pants for the office.
Great sweater, oversized. A little itchy but not too bad. Super soft and warm.
Fits perfectly and wonderful to pair with pants and/or skirt.

THE KING OF FIGHTERS '98 reviews and comments
Microsoft from French
The grip of the game is fluid, but to be comfortable it requires a Bluetooth controller or a gamevice gamepad. The iOS version remains true to that of the arcade, always as technical and balanced, KOF98 remains one of the best game of fight in 2D of the years 98. The +: about thirty personal, the ambiance, the sounds are cool. Superb internships. The-: hard touch game see appalling need a gamepad for good fun.

I took the opportunity to have a Bluetooth controller to take me one of the best game of fight that exists. With touch, I almost managed to do nothing but with a joystick it's almost perfect. I have an iPod touch 5 and the game does not paddle a bit. One can say that it is a KOF 98 remastered because it does not seem to me that some character with some of their blows present in 98. At least, my memories of the Neo Geo era tell me not to. I made a video of the game on the YouTube channel of games in the Pocket if you want to see what the game looks like. The price is very correct given the quality of the game.

There would be nothing to say, except simply that it is the King of Fighter's! One of the best bidimensional fighting ever brought to light on smartphones is simply the most succulent delicacy for anyone who knows. Exhumed in all its beauty, without affecting the classicism of the title, from the graphics to the sound. The commands Maybe do a little tantrum, this does not doubt, but be able to enjoy one of the best chapters of the saga in a palm of your hand and, let's face it, can slaughter the damned AI to the maximum level with Omega Rugal, just for the unhealthy taste of it , makes forget this probably only negative point. I already had the pleasure to play in chapter ' 97 and I sincerely hope that in the future we think, slowly, to dust off one by one all the chapters of the series and, why not, some other gem of the house SNK. Standing ovation on my part for all the Playmore staff. 👍

Segregation In Today's Society
Society is a whole lot different than it was sixty years ago, but there are still things that haven't been fixed in today's lifestyle. De facto segregation is still at large today De facto segregation is when a person or family chooses to move to a segregated area. They are practically forced out of their former town because they usually can't afford bills and taxes and move to a town with lower bills. De jure segregation is the type of segregation that happened sixty years ago when blacks had to use different facilities and were limited to different jobs. African Americans are the number one race that is usually featured in the lower income class, segregated education and poor housing. Poverty is the new segregation because of poor housing, jobs and segregated…show more content…
Most areas with low income or poor housing tend to not live in areas with good schools systems. Poor communities tend to not have the money to fund schools for better education sources like teachers, equipment or school trips. Segregated schools may feature a higher disciplinary or crime rate as well as lower graduation rates and SAT scores. Studies have proven that police must interfere more often in segregated schools for violence and to help assist for disciplinary actions. Students from segregated schools are more likely to be involved in the criminal justice system than non segregated schools. Poor schools do not really rely on taxes because the city can't pay high taxes. Cities with low income have to raise taxes just to meet the minimum requirement to pay for public education. Cities tax rates may vary by needs of schools and the city overall. The average city with an average household income of fifty-three thousand may have a tax rate of one to six percent. The average city with an average household income of seventeen thousand may have a tax rate of ten to twenty
Segregation In The 1930's
In Merriam Webster Online Dictionary, the word segregation means a "cause or force the separation of (as from the rest of society)." American society has for decades segregated African-Americans from their White counterparts. Even today, with equal rights for all, many people of color feel segregated in their daily lives. However, today's segregation does not compare to the 1930's America. For instance, the laws in the 1930's made African-Americans feel the weight of segregation in their daily lives and education.
Residential Segregation Research Paper
1. The health issue we will discuss is residential segregation. This is the physical separation of two or more groups into different neighborhoods, or a form of segregation that "sorts population groups into various neighborhoods contexts and shapes the living environment at the neighborhood level. In addition, we will discuss a health disparity, which is defined as inequalities that exist when members of certain population groups do not benefit from the same health status as other groups. Racial residential segregation is a fundamental cause of racial disparities in health.
For decades we have have been taught the meaning of segregation. Segregation between African Americans and whites was a huge act of inhumanity in the 1800's. It was preposterous for humans to treat others in an unfairly manner all because of their skin color. In the very beginning of segregation between the blacks and whites, it was crucial on how white people detained African Americans as slaves and sold them like property they were forced into a life of mistreatment and no freedom. They were sent to America through slave trade by the Europeans capturing them. Slavery was found in the rural areas of the South. African Americans had to live in a repulsive cabin with very little to eat and spend all day long working in the plantation while the hot, bright sun beaming on them. With all of this happening,
Jonathan Kozol Still Separate Still Unequal Analysis
In Jonathan Kozol's "Still Separate, Still Unequal: America's Educational Apartheid" he explains that the difference between the low class schools and the urban class schools inequality by the lack of importance, the low funds, and the segregation. Kozol admits that no effort is put into the minority public schools that are isolated and deeply segregated. "At a middle school named for Dr. King in Boston, black and Hispanic children make up 98 percent of the enrollment"(Kozol 349). The schools that are named after Civil Rights leaders shows no proof of what these people were trying to succeed. Kozol comments on the extremely low funds in these minority schools.
What Was Segregation From The 1800s To The 1960's
The word segregation means to separate. When they separated the blacks from the whites that was segregation. Black and white Americans have always been separated until they were forced to go to school together. The segregation led from the 1800s to the 1960s. In the 1960s they decided to force black and whites to go to school together.
Still Separate Still Unequal Analysis
Segregated schools ended in 1954. At least that's what students were told to believe. So many working class students have been affected in almost every aspect of their life, such as academically, mentally and emotionally. There no longer have to be two completely different types of schools for whites and for blacks, in order to see that segregation is still a huge part of the school system today. Economic segregation in schools has impacted many working class students in a very negative way.
Based on the children in the sample, 1338 (38%) attended high minority schools. Students attending high versus low minority schools varied in several ways . Black students were 2.6 times more probable to attend a high-minority than a low-minority school (Fram, Miller-Cribbs, & Horn, 2005). Children with single parents disproportionately attended high-minority schools, as do children whose mother became pregnant while a teenager. Children in high minority schools also had mothers with lower levels of education, and lived in households with lower socio-economic status.
Essay On Income Disparity Among African Americans
As a result, we had in 2011 nearly half (48.1%) of all Dane County's Black third graders failed to meet proficiency standards in reading, compared to 10.9% of White third graders. In other words, Dane County Black third graders were 4.4 times more likely NOT to be proficient in reading than their White peers. In other words, because of this large difference between rich and poor property taxes payment, rich communities receive more school funding and give great opportunities to their children to have higher quality education than poor communities. In "School funding inequality makes education separate and unequal", Klein Rebecca (2015)
Segregation And Racism Analysis
The fight to end segregation and racism has been going on since the beginning of time. Racism is one of the biggest problems in the US. It has gone from slavery, to forced segregation, and nowadays to just being looked at differently. Many people of color are sick of this treatment and are now wanting segregated dorms at colleges. Some may still see this as segregation but it was requested not forced. So, if they feel more comfortable with segregated living spaces then it should be allowed even though some may disagree.
What Is Segregation In The 1940s
Segregation means setting someone or something apart from other people or things. Segregation in the 1940s may have applied to activities such as eating in a restaurant, drinking from a water fountain, using a public toilet, attending school, riding on a bus, or purchasing a home. Like Vivien Thomas, he was helping Dr. Blalock, but his job title was still "janitor". Also, Vivien had a hard time finding a home for his family because he was African-American. So, think about all of the other black people trying to find jobs, transportation, and a home.
Gang Violence In Chicago
The characteristics of the environment in which they are raised matter, especially taking into account those of the direct family in which they are raised in. When considering the difference between children who have experienced poverty, those who grew up in better neighborhoods are more likely to complete high school, finish four years of college compared to children who were raised in neighborhoods with a high crime rate, and where the financial difficulties of them are mirrored in their peers. Children are not given the same opportunities as their counterparts based upon the location of their birth. Children who are raised in poverty are automatically and unfortunately members of the cycle of poverty, in which crime rates are high, and education quality is
Institutional Racism In Schools
In the past segregation of schools was a major issue for educational equality. Today there is still an issue with equal educational opportunities in addition to the issue of standardized testing. More than likely in the future there will still be an issue with standardized testing as well as minority students not being able to attend colleges because of college loan problems. Another effect is high unemployment due to minorities not being able to get a college education because most jobs now are requiring education beyond high school. One thing that is being done today is that some schools are placing less emphasis on the SAT as a requirement for admission.
Jonathan Kozol's Essay Still Separate, Still Unequal
She points out that around the time the separations start, puberty and the questions of identifying themselves start to arise, making the black kids feel like outcasts to the white kids. While kids start to segregate themselves, the issues at hand being to strengthen, making them harder to fix as the kids age. With segregation rates as high as they still were, Kozol then goes on to argue that schools reflect lives of the students attending the schools, which corresponds to the dominant races of the school. I agree with what Kozol argues that white schools are normally better built and nicer, reflecting the higher income families. Dominantly black and Hispanic schools reflect much lower income families and are typically broken down, such as one elementary school he described.
Cutting Through The Hype Chapter Summary
"The intent behind closing these gaps is to break the connection between race or family income and achievement while at the same time continuing to improve the performance of the top students. "(28) Gaps between race and wealth have always been issues in schools. Historically, children living in poverty are more likely to score lower on tests than those
Drop Out Rate In Public Schools
The question I want answered is: Why is the drop out rate higher among minorities than their Caucasian counterpart? It has a variety of factor that could explain why people of color typically have a lower graduation rate, One possibility could be the fact that lower income families face more challenges than those who live outside the city even if their low income. You also have to look at funding for school districts, schools get most of their funding from property tax and if the area that you live have predominantly low income families that live there than you'll receive less tax revenue to support the school. which makes it harder for students get thing such as, lunches or bus rides to school, thus making school seem like a less appealing

So, I thought it would be worth sharing some information with all the fellow hobbyists out there. The information in question is around MKA Studios painting courses, which are held at Element Games in Stockport every 8 weeks or so.
MKA was founded by Mathew Kane (yes, that one! The one who painted all those stunning models for Forge World! Curze, Horus, Ferrus etc. – and no, I'm getting nothing from him for this plug!) and quickly added multiple Golden Demon and 'Best in Show' winner, Andy Wardle.
Courses take the format of a weekend of airbrush instruction, weathering tips and teaching of various other techniques and every student, *every* student has produced stunning results. I believe they're on course number 5 or 6 now… and a student from course number 2, took his new skills and put them to use on a squadron of Heresy Death Guard tanks.. for which he one the squadron category at the last Golden Demon.
Put simply, this course will improve your skills whether you're a novice airbrush user or a keen hobbyist with years of experience. It has also built a strong community of folks who've attended and regularly who share ideas and encourage each others' efforts. I attended the first ever course and although I've been painting for years I never felt that I was getting the most from my airbrushing.
The next course is October 24th/25th, at Element Games in Stockport, UK, and I believe this one is based around painting infantry for previous attendees, but first timers are usually guided towards painting something 'Rhino-sized' to learn the basics.
If you're interested – and why wouldn't you be – then you can check out the ticket availability with Element on their website here.
In this blog post I describe how I am going to create my 40k Iron Hands army along the lines of the 40k universe (or fluff). I intend to make this the first post of two.
This post will cover the chapter and squads, while the second will list known and living characters.
In later joint posts I will also cover my 30k Iron Hands Legion, units and characters.
Firstly a review of how a Space Marine Chapter is formed post heresy. Every chapter is no greater than one thousand marines and split between ten companies, plus supporting divisions with their own heraldry, titles, symbols and history.
The first company is the elite soldiers and veterans of the chapter. The second to fifth are battle companies; the front line of the chapter. The sixth to ninth are the specialist reserve companies and the tenth are formed of scouts. Scout companies are posed of fresh recruits from the chapter home world who later go on to join other companies within the chapter.
The chapter also consists of an Armoury (tech marines, tanks and flyers), Reclusiam (chaplains), Apothecarion (Apothecaries), Librarius (Librarians), and Chapter Command.
Companies are referred to by the Iron Hands as Clans. Clans once represented the competing organisations on the Iron Hands home world of Medusa before the coming of the Great Crusade. Ferrus Manus, primarch of the Iron Hands, kept the formation of Clans in order to encourage their competitive nature historically formed when once fighting for scarce planetary resources.
Each Clan has its own history and character which marines emulate upon joining or being promoted (i.e going from a recruit of the 10th to a full battle-brother of the 3rd).
There is some contradiction around this as previous materials (codexes and novels) state that clans do their own recruitment. However the Clan Ruakaan Supplement differs. I personally think this makes sense given the first companies status as the veteran company.
I will be basing my army primarily around Clan Raukaan, but also drawing from Squads in the 1st, 6th, and the 10th companies. This works well for me because it means I don't waste most of my Forge World transfers 😉 and I can also use known characters and units from more than one clan.
Just as companies are known as Clans, so too are squads known as Clave's.
I've listed them here by Clave number, name, unit type, and any known characteristics in brackets.
Unfortunately these squads have only been mentioned by number and not name, but I have put them in because their existence and unit type is known.
Clan Garrsak, 6th Squad, Tactical.
Clan Avernii, 3rd Squad, Terminator.
Clan Haarmek, 10th Squad, Devastator.
Clan Kaargul, 4th Squad, Tactical.

A few interesting things… not least of which is the Mastadon and the Tau Titan!
I hope the last blog post was well received. As I am sure you are all aware last time we covered my new Marauder Horsemen, which were designed to be a slightly heavier looking type of cavalry unit. This week we will cover something a little different…..
…A Chaos Warshrine conversion. As I waffled on a little last week, I'll try not to this time. I will not attempt to refer to how I came to this idea. But it is in keeping with my armies Barbarian theme and I wanted a Chaos Shrine that was a little more monstrous and imposing on the battlefield. So I decided that I would mount my shrine on a Mammoth.
Once I had all the bits I set about construction of the Mammoth completing the whole assembly apart from the rider's seat on the Mammoth's back. I found this was helpful as it allowed me nearly full access to the inside of the Mammoth's shell while having a nice solid base to work from. Next I processed to clean up the Mammoth making sure I removed all mould lines and filling all gaps with green stuff. This can be a little tricky but I found holding the model up to the light meant I could easily see small gaps, especially on the underside.
While I left this to set and dry, I started construction of the shrines basic floor plate, adding the sides, where needed for a little strength. (The sides were temporarily to proved a little perspective of size and fit). Once dry and holding together reasonably well, I started a little bit of concept work, which was basically plonking one down on top of the other as in the first picture.
As you can see from the picture the Warshrine was a little too big for the Mammoths back, and it was also obvious to me at this point, I needed to do something to 'bind' the two together, as floating in mid air on his back wouldn't look right. This is where my evil twin @CPJohnson, came in with another inspirational idea, a Howdah!
In practice though, the construction was not as easy as it might appear. First I clipped the back off the Shrine, losing the hole for the skull pit, which I wasn't a fan of anyway. This made the shire fit better, then I removed my sides, as the sticks would make up the walls. Then balancing the shine roughly where I wanted it with Blu-Tack, I eyeballed the length required for my first stick, roughly in the middle on the side, I snapped it to the right length, this also gave a nice rough and ready look. I did this for about four or five sticks placing each one down on my cutting mat side by side. I then completed the process again for a second layer of sticks to sit on top of the first but slightly lower. This was essential for two main reasons: first it would provide the Howdah with a bit of strength; second it would allow me to cover and hide a few errors as I went around the outside of the shrine's floor plate. Once happy with the positions this section was glued together with PVA glue and allowed to dry overnight. Picture two was taken after construction but provides direct reference to my points above.
Gluing section by section to the Warshrine with superglue, slowly allowed me to build up the wall of my Howdah, this was delicate work as this only provides small contact surface between the wall and the floor plate. Once all the walls were complete I applied green stuff on the underside liberally to increase contact areas and add strength to the model. At this time I also attached the saddle/seats onto the Mammoth and used more green stuff to build them up to make small stands that would allow me to pin the two sections together. This is a bit trial and error, with a lot of marking and remarking but once I was happy with the placement I waited for the green stuff to set, and attached pins to the Mammoth and holes on the underside of the Howdah.
The next day the whole model was sprayed black and then dry brushed up using four browns. Vallejo paints Black Brown, Chocolate Brown, Ochre Brown and Yellow Ochre, mix these 50/50 and end up applying 8 or nine light coats this is very much base colours, as seen in picture two.
I next added a few ornaments and decorations, the chopping block fitted in the Howdah and one of the bone sides of the Warshrine fit nicely on the back of the wall to keep the Chaos feel. I added some cardboard, cut in strips, around the outside of the Howdah at 90 degrees to the coffee sticks, to provide the look of metal banding. Then I added some shields and green stuff moulded to look like nails. These were all painted with base colours as described above, before being glued in place, metal being painted with just a layer of Tin Bitz.
With the construction over apart from crew, I added base colours to areas not yet touched. Flat Flesh for the mammoth's skin, and Rotting Flesh for wounds. Cavalry Brown for straps and leather and Kamo Karki for bone areas. My painting style is quite basic but I do tend to take my time on each stage, which I help improves my results, but my rule of thumb being: if it's not simple to do, I won't be doing it!
The next stage after base colours; for me is usually shades and washes, and this was no different. On the hair and fur I applied a liberal but heavily watered down Earthshade wash, about 10/90% water. I then added a small amount of a Dark Green Ink and then touched the Howdah in places where I would image water damage to the wood, i.e around joins etc. (Not forgetting to do shields and Leather) Then I used Nuln Oil to darken the metal and add shade to the skin, finally mixing Nuln Oil and Earthshade together to add shade to the Bone. These mixes were usually of a 50/50 split and then watered down by half again. I then went back and covered 50% or so of the model again, with the last base colour used, this simple technique I have found adds: shade; depth and then highlight to a basic level, this is what I usually call table top standard. No need for all the complaining about standards, just my opinion :).
I now began work on the highlighting which involved Bleached Bone on the bone areas; I painted in small lines in a continual direction in order to achieve the effect on the horns. Dwarf Flesh on the Mammoth's skin. Dwarf Bronze and Bolt Gun Metal, on the metal areas and finally a mix of Blood Read and Cavalry Brown into open wounds and edge highlighting for the leather. At this stage I was ready to attach the model to the Warshrine base, which the Mammoth luckily just fits onto, using the same technique covered previously in posts.
This left the finial part of the model the rider; I spent a few weeks thinking about what or who I wanted, but I came to the conclusion to add a model I have previously painted to keep with the feel for the army, it also happened to fit in for a tournament list I was toying with at the time. This model was a Wizard, which would take the Warshrine as a mount. It has actually been a while since I painted this Wizard, so I am not sure of the painting combinations I used at the time, but it mainly comprises of bone, browns, and pinks which fit my army perfectly.

Q: question about eregi() and preg_match() My code was
if(eregi($pattern,$file)){
$out['file'][]=$file;
}else
But is doesn't work in php 5.3, it shows the alert
Function eregi() is deprecated
so I changed to
if(preg_match($pattern,$file)){
$out['file'][]=$file;
}else
But now it shows
preg_match(): No ending delimiter '.' found
Did I enter any wrong syntax?

A: The pattern needs to have some sort of delimiter character surrounding it.
if(preg_match('/' . $pattern . '/',$file)){

/ is typical, but "any non-alphanumeric, non-backslash, non-whitespace character" could be used. Just make sure your delimiter character doesn't appear in the $pattern itself.
So if your pattern was http://(.*), which already has / characters in it, you might want to choose something else like ~:
if(preg_match('~' . $pattern . '~',$file)){

Alternatively, as @jensgram notes below, if you can't guarantee your pattern won't contain a certain delimiter character, you could escape those characters in the pattern with preg_quote(), like so:
if(preg_match('~' . preg_quote($pattern, '~') . '~',$file)){

Oh, also, since you're using eregi() (case-insensitive), you'll want to add the i modifier for case-insensitive to your pattern, outside the delimiter.
if(preg_match('~' . $pattern . '~i',$file)){

Q: Php list to be sortet alphabetically
Possible Duplicate:
How should I sort this array by key with usort?

I have tried following a lot of hints to sort a list alphabetically on this piece of code with no luck.
<?php
foreach ($this->link_items as &$item) :
?>

<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($item->slug, $item->catid)); ?>">
            <?php echo $item->title; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

I need this list to be sortet before its output.

A: sort($this->link_items);

This will sort values by their value. To sort by key, use ksort.

A: USE:
$sorted_array = array_multisort($this->link_items, SORT_ASC);
<?php
foreach ($sorted_array as &$item) :
?>

<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($item->slug, $item->catid)); ?>">
            <?php echo $item->title; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Having full control of your lighting is essential if you are to get the most of it. Sometimes you need as much light as possible, for instance when you are cleaning your room you want to be able to see clearly and see everywhere. However, a more cosy and warmer level of light is desirable later on in the evening. This can be achieved, in most instances, by installing a dimmer switch.
Here at The Lighting Superstore we have selected a range of dimmer switches to suit all styles and budgets. If you need an LED dimmer switch then we have even sourced some high quality, low cost dimmers that have been designed especially for dimmable LED bulbs.
Dimming can sometimes be a rather technical subject, so we recommend that you consult with our technical team if you are unsure exactly which dimmer switch you need or you simply require some advice on dimming, we are here and happy to help.


There are potentially three aspects of divorce including the divorce itself, a financial settlement between the parties dealing with a fair and reasonable sharing of the family assets and providing where appropriate for financial support going forward, and arrangements for the children.
Child arrangement Orders (how much time the child shall spend with each parent) Specific issue (for example the choice of schools) Parental Responsibility (the legal right to be involved in making decisions about the bigger issues in a child's life for example changing a child's surname) Prohibited Steps Orders (Orders made by the Court on application by one party for example to stop a child being taken moved to a different part of the country). We believe that a sensitive constructive and non confrontational approach is normally appropriate when dealing with issues affecting children and try to encourage a working relationship between the parents which will reduce the immediate emotional distress for the children and prove the foundation for good workable arrangements in the future.
Disputes over the legal ownership of assets owned by one party or the other or both during the course of the relationship. The law governing unmarried couples is at the moment very different to that of divorcing couples in terms of how the finances are dealt with.
Advice on rights and responsibilities going into a civil partnership and advice on the implications of separation and dissolution of the partnership.

When I was first diagnosed with cancer I was told that the cancer was contained within my left breast and I, therefore, had a 95% survival rate. I left my doctor's office satisfied that I was still one of the fortunate ones within society – I would survive. After my lumpectomy I was told that the tests were wrong, and the cancer had spread to 11 of my lymph nodes. By then I had read enough about cancer to know that my survival rate was now a mere 30%. No longer one of the fortunate in society, I allowed self-pity to take over – Why me?
Then I lost my hair and became one of the visible unfortunates. No longer was it just me that faced my mortality, but all those who looked at me came face to face with mortality. An old neighbor I barely knew burst into tears at the sight of me, a parent in my son's school assured me that she assured her son nothing like that would ever happen to her. No, she was not going to become one of the unfortunates. I wanted to tell her that I too had been one of the fortunate, and that we do not know what fate will bring, but why ruin her illusion? It is not until one actually becomes unfortunate that one learns to come to terms with it; which is why, after living with cancer for 7 years, coming face to face with death twice and having survived, I now have a completely different perspective on cancer, death and being fortunate or unfortunate.
I used to think it was the cancer that gave me the courage to face my innermost self, but to be more accurate, it was coming face to face with death that gave me courage. After my first 9 months of treatment I hoped for the best, that I had been cured. I returned to my old life, not completely the same person as I was before. My hair grew back, and the busyness of work, taking care of my son and just getting through the day took over. Two years passed and then cancer was discovered in my abdomen. It had spread. This time I didn't ask what my survival rate was. Similar to the first time I was diagnosed, I realized I was having difficulty with being one of the "unfortunate" ones in society.
I had taken on the role that I was one of the lucky cancer patients. It had not returned. I was feeling and looking good, at least that is what I was told, and I felt I was cancer free. When the cancer returned I was once again one of the unfortunate ones. With that perception, immediately the victim role appears.
I hate the victim role; it feels pathetic and often brings self-pity with it. I love the "being lucky" role. You feel on top of the world, loved and adored. Once I recognized these two feelings -- lucky vs. victim as roles, it became very clear how ridiculous they were and how they stop me from just being.
This recognition forced me to look deeper at exactly what fortunate and unfortunate meant to me. For as long as I can remember I have believed in equality for all and that we are all equal. Where did this separation between fortunate and unfortunate come from? In society, the really fortunate are all those healthy, wealthy, beautiful people we see on TV Commercials and the really unfortunate are only seen on TV commercials in order to raise funds in hopes of preventing the fortunates from becoming the unfortunates. This reminded me of the scrapbooks I kept as a child. I would paste pictures from magazines of the perfect house, including the interior rooms, the furniture, the perfect husband and kids into my scrapbook. I dreamed of having or belonging to the all American families I watched on TV. I was shy and often teased at school. For most of my early life, I believed that if I could be an extrovert then I would have more confidence and self-esteem. I saw the athletic, healthy, all American extrovert as an ideal. Once I became an adult I recognized this ideal as phony. Now I realize that although I saw the all American image as phony there was a part of me that believed I had achieved at least part of my childhood goal. I was one of the fortunate.
Shortly after my cancer returned I started doing a program called The Healing Journey, run by a man who previously had a serious cancer and yet survived. It is a program designed to help cancer patients become more aware spiritually and psychologically in hopes of prolonging their life. One of the exercises we were asked to do was to write a short autobiography of our lives, focusing on our feelings and then summarizing what we had learned about ourselves while doing the exercise.
The first thing I noticed when I read over my feelings about my life was that there were a lot more negative than positive feelings. I learned from my father that the suffering we encounter in life is a time for reflection and growth. This is how I lived my life and, therefore, I had always seen myself as a positive person. In actual fact, I discovered I am very negative in my perceptions. I started to become more aware of just how pervasive my negativity was in my everyday life. There is always a "but". It's a beautiful sunny day, "but" it is too cold. I love my new dress, "but" one day it will get old and ruined. I love my apartment, "but" I wish it wasn't on a main street. And so on and so on, I could go on forever.
I now see that the ego self is full of contradictions. Deep within we are full of unconscious false, negative perceptions and beliefs about ourselves, and outwardly we create ways to protect our fragile fearful inner self. Often our protective mechanisms contradict the inner beliefs we have about ourselves. My belief that I was one of the fortunate - the all American, healthy, happy personality - was just a way to protect that scared little girl within that still believed she was not liked or likable and therefore was actually unfortunate.
Swami Radha, in her book "Kundalini Yoga for the West", writes "The personalities we create to protect our low self-image is a form of survival". Then she asks the reader "What does survival mean to them?" To me survival meant doing whatever it takes to not feel my innermost pain – that I am flawed, inadequate, not worthy of love. It is an illusion that the many personalities or roles our ego self creates will protect us from our inner pain, but it is a very strong and convincing illusion.
One of the most important things I learned by becoming more spiritually aware is what happens to us in life is not important. It is how we choose to view what happens to us that is! It is up to me if I want to view my life through my ego self, which often means defensively with cynicism and judgment or through my higher spiritual self with love and compassion.
There have been many times I have longed to return to my old existence pre cancer but, as my therapist pointed out, that is the existence that gave me cancer, and in many ways it was an unhappy life.
So what do I really mean when I long to go back? A time when death was not always lurking right in front of me, a time when I did not suffer pain, have endless visits to the hospital, have to think about my next injection, pill, CAT scan or have to worry about a further progression or set back. But in reality, going back to my life pre-cancer means going back to a time when I lived life blindly, not truly experiencing my existence, a time when my ego-self ruled the way I behaved, a time of powerlessness. Now I am much more aware when I am functioning from my ego self therefore the way I view the world is no longer some by-product of my false perceptions. I no longer think of myself as fortunate or unfortunate, I just am.

Q: How to test accelerometer app on ipad retina? I have submitted an Cocos2D accelerometer-based app for the iPad on the App Store.
Apple rejected my app as they said they needed 2x images for the iPad Retina.
So I have added the necessary images, but I don't have an iPad Retina....as you all know you can't test the accelerometer on the iOS Simulator.
So how am I supposed to test the app to ensure it's ok?
Is there any alternative solution?....or the only way is to actually buy the device??
Would really appreciate any help on this matter.

A: You could use something like iSimulate to get accelerometer events from a real device into the iOS simulator (which you can configure to simulate a retina iPad).


Anglesey, Llantrisant Church, World War One War Memorial.
Llantrisant is a small village in a rural setting on the Island of Anglesey in North Wales. At the moment I am only aware of a World War One (WWI) Memorial, which is in Llantrisant Church grounds. I will however be going back to photograph the graves of the servicemen and women that are buried there, so I will check again.
I have put together a list of names, some of which are not on the memorial, and researched additional details, which are presented in the table below. As far as I can tell none of them were married. Out of interest to family historians, there are two Llantrisant Churches, the old one and the new one. I was unable to find out any details about Hugh Edwards as there are only Edwards and the initial H. coming up on a search of the C.W.G.C. website, and it could have been any of them. Why the WREN was buried here is a mystery because HMS Goldcrest was R.N.A.S Dale in Pembrokeshire?
