A SHORT HISTORY OF FILM ARCHIVING
Last Friday evening, at the Scala Theatre, was an occasion in many respects as significant and memorable as it was wonderful. It may be left for future generations to realise the full extent of its importance – men and women yet unborn who, by the magic of a little box and a roll of film, will be enabled to witness the marvels of a hundred years before their age, in all the colour and movement of life. Perverse old grandfathers will no longer be able to indulge disdainfully in reminiscences of the superiority of the times ‘when they were boys’; the past will be an open book for all to read in, and, if the grandfathers exaggerate, they may be convicted by the camera’s living record. Man has conquered most things; now he has vanquished Time. With the cinematograph and the gramophone he can ‘pot’ the centuries as they roll past him, letting them loose at will, as he would a tame animal, to exhibit themselves for his edification and delight. The cinematograph, in short, is the modern Elixir of Life – at any rate, that part of life which is visible to the eye. It will preserve our bodies against the ravages of age, and the beauty, which was once for but a day, will now be for all time.
The above is a review of a notable film from 1912, The Coronation Durbar at Delhi, filmed in the early colour process Kinemacolor, and produced by Charles Urban. It raises a number of points relevant to a consideration of the history of film archiving. In the first instance, it expresses a sentiment central to any film archiving operation, viewing film as a time machine that will make the past or present visible to grateful future generations. Calls for film archives were common in the early years of filmmaking in this country, and it was notable news or actuality films such as that of the Delhi Durbar which were cited as suitable examples for inclusion, not fiction films, unless they perhaps recorded the performance of some notable stage performer. The review presupposes that future generations will share the same interests as those in 1912, in this case in a pageant of Empire, or that they will still view such a film in the same spirit as when it was made. And, despite its romantic fervour, the passage does acknowledge some limitation of the film record, which can only confer immortality on what is visible to the eye.
The next point is that the Kinemacolor film of the Delhi Durbar is considered to be a lost film. No print is said to survive in any of the world’s film archives, and only 88 years later those future generations are denied the chance to see what would certainly be a film of considerable interest to us still, from a number of perspectives. The Delhi Durbar film was made over twenty years before any national film archive had been established, and the company that made it and most of its Kinemacolor productions were lost to history, neglected or destroyed once they became of no financial value.
But there is a further, archival twist to the tale, because no longer is the Kinemacolor Delhi Durbar film a lost film. A portion of it has been discovered, in the Krasnagorsk film archive in Russia. Lost films are just occasionally rediscovered, and this film had been lurking in an unsuspected corner of the film archiving world, hidden under a different name for all those 88 years. But the twists of fate continue, because it is not the whole of the film that has survived. The original film lasted almost three hours – what has survived is around twenty minutes, and that of mostly uninteresting military reviews that took place after the main Durbar ceremonies, and it does not feature of the spectacular main ceremonies, parades of elephants, and so forth. A fragment from the edges of a greater thing is all that now exists, its story perhaps more interesting that the film that survives itself.
Why the film survives in this form gives us a further lesson in the nature of film archives and their holdings. This particular section was extracted from the main film when the First World War broke out, and any film of troop movements was considered good box office. Film has this particular quality as a medium, whereby you can cut pieces out of it and create a whole new work, like some biological process. Film can not only be re-edited, it can give birth to new works out of itself. The Durbar film had been catalogued in the Russian archive as a First World War production, which in terms of this particular edit’s production history was quite correct. The film was only found because a film researcher was looking for footage to go into a television production on the history of the British Empire, and so the film finds itself a new home and a new identity, and in the form of the edited television programme will eventually reside in a television archive. Such are the complexities of the medium, and how a film survives and where alters its history and its meaning for those who care for it, or wish to learn from it.
Film is not the elixir of life, and we now put in qualifications before even considering it as a time machine. That we have come to question its messages has not lessened its importance, however – indeed the film record becomes all the richer for the multiplicity of ways in which it can be interrogated. But there is some irony in the fact that when film archives were eventually established in the 1930s, it was largely not from an impulse to preserve actuality records of the past that would otherwise vanish, but to preserve the best of what was seen as the ‘art of film’. That is a simplification, certainly (it ignores the anomalous existence of the Imperial War Museum, which undertook to preserve official film records of the First World War from its inception in 1917), and there was effort made to preserve what were seen as news and actuality records of value, but the people who founded and manned the first film archives were brought up on the burgeoning art film movement (notably Soviet films) of the 1920s, and were particularly activated by the threat to silent films by a callous film industry which had now discovered sound. A statement made at the founding of the Museum of Modern Art’s Film Library in New York in 1935 makes the aims clear:
The art of the motion picture is the only art peculiar to the twentieth century. As an art it is practically unknown and unstudied. … This new and living form of expression, a vital force in our time, is such a young art that it can be studied from its beginnings; the ‘primitives’ among the movies are only forty years old. Yet the bulk of all films that are important historically or aesthetically, whether foreign or domestic, old or new, are invisible under existing conditions. To preserve these films and make them available to the public for study and research is the aim of the new Film Library.
The focus was to be the film that was deemed important, historically or aesthetically, a selectivity borne partly out of limited resources, but also out of a quite particular view, from a particular point in time, of what sort of film should be preserved and made available for study.
Those words ‘to preserve’ and ‘to make available’ are of course central to the purpose of a film archive. It is possible to be quite prescriptive about what a film archive should be, and it follows rules laid down to a large extent by the first film archives, following from the particular nature of the medium itself. An archive, according to the dictionary, is ‘a repository of public records or of records and monuments generally’. A film archive, however, means a particular process by which a film repository is maintained. A collection of videos on a shelf is not a film archive. It will not last; it preserves nothing. Inherent in any film archive with a true ‘public good’ remit is that word ‘preservation’. Film is a fragile medium, and in going through a mechanical process each time it is viewed necessarily suffers from wear-and-tear, as well as being subject to inevitable chemical decay that affects both nitrate and acetate film stock. A principle was of acquiring, in simple terms, a master copy which would then remain inviolate and unviewed, with duplicate printing material and then a viewing print being made from this original, subject to funds, which would then become the copy to which the public could have access for study. This basic principle has been the cause of no end of trouble for film archives, which have been too often seen as preventing material from being seen, sitting on it until those future generations should get the benefit, not realising that posterity might just be now.
The history of the national film archive in this country illustrates something of the changing territories and priorities for moving image archives. In 1935 the British Film Institute established a National Film Library, with the aim of creating a ‘repository of films of permanent value’. It was recognised even then that an ideal archive would preserve every film, its Committee noting that ‘every film has a historical value of some kind’. But limited resources imposed selectivity. It was also recognised that a system of statutory deposit would be essential if the archive were not to be continually holding out a begging bowl. Sixty-five years on it is still waiting for such a system to be instituted (however, a partial system of statutory deposit has existed for commercial British television since 1990).
The National Film Library became the National Film Archive in 1955, by which change of name it posted that its prime purpose was not to be a lending service but to preserve. A further name change in 1993 to the National Film and Television Archive made clear a responsibility for both media that had in fact been in force for some while. Now the archive has undergone a further change of name, absorbed within a larger concept of BFI Collections, reflecting a BFI wish to streamline its operations, and maybe expressing a fear of that very word ‘archive’, with all its connotations of something had hides its treasures away, promising them only for that posterity that never comes.
There are in fact four national film archives in this country: the BFI’s, the Imperial War Museum’s Film and Video Archive, the Wales Film and Television Archive and the Scottish Screen Archive. All are recognised by FIAF, the international federation of film archives, which also has as a member the North West Film Archive. The North West is one of a network of eight so called regional film archives, a network which has been growing since the founding of the East Anglian Film Archive in 1976. All of these archives are represented collectively as the Film Archive Forum. This blossoming of what have been best described as public sector moving image archives shows how really the concept of a ‘national film archive’ is now wider than one institution could or should represent, and reflects in particular moving image productions made for and by local communities that were not considered when the notion of a ‘repository of films of permanent value’ was first put forward. The ‘national film archive’ has become a collective responsibility.
In short, the focus has shifted, and our sense of film history and film culture has shifted. That history and that culture is, or should be, a far broader and more complex picture than the traditional history of cinema which the national film archives were founded to preserve. It is necessary to put in that qualification, because we need to reflect on why the attention of students and researchers is drawn to certain sectors of the overall national film archive, and not to others. To what extent is there a canon of films obscuring the value of other film holdings, other histories of cinema? What can be done to encourage academic or creative interest in the less frequented corners? Is such a potential interest justified? What can the history of film teach us that the history of cinema does not?
There are many kinds of film archives and film collections in this country. The British Universities Film & Video Council’s Researcher’s Guide now identifies some 450 moving image collections in the UK that are open to some degree or other to researchers. They range from stock shot libraries to newsfilm libraries to subject specialist collections to television libraries. Few are concerned with preservation, but without preservation we will end up with no film heritage at all. We must never forget this. Meanwhile, let us uncover and learn from all that we can. The variety and the complexity and the richness of the moving image records of our time should not only entrance those future generations that were evoked in 1912, but demand our fullest attention here and now.

It used to be that the Devil’s greatest trick was convincing mankind that he does not exist. Now it appears the Prince of Darkness, in league with The Satanic Temple, has chosen a different tact by revealing himself as not only real but a legitimate friend to after school Elementary kids.
In 2001, Evangelicals across the country won a major Supreme Court victory with Good News Club v. Milford Central School, which said that when a government institution (i.e. public school) offers a “limited public forum,” such as an after school club, they cannot restrict the type of speech that occurs there.
The ruling, reports the Los Angeles Times, allowed Christian groups to “proselytize” on government grounds. What it also did, as Justice David Souter is observed by The Washington Post as having dissented against, was open civic gatherings and similar programs to the invocations from any “church, synagogue, or mosque.”
The Satanic Temple, formed in 2014, was quick to realize the opportunity Good News Club had provided them. Purportedly founded to counter former President George W. Bush’s White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the Temple is a self-described political activist group that claims it does not believe in a real Satan, but ascribes more to the symbolism of Satan as rebelling against the “tyranny over the human mind” that organized religions hold, The Washington Post quotes founder Lucien Grieves as stating.
The Temple initiative, commonly called After School Satan, requires parental consent before the children can participate in “the development of reasoning and social skills.” The group says “meetings will include a healthful snack, literature lesson, creative learning activities, a science lesson, puzzle solving, and an art project.”
Public schools have generally selected from one of three tactics when dealing with the After School Satan clubs:
1. Accept the club
2. Fight the club as illegitimate
3. Remove all after school clubs from school
The Washington Post reports that school districts in New York, Boston, Utah, Arizona, Minneapolis, Detroit, San Jose, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Florida have allowed After School Satan to share their facilities.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the L.A. school system “appears to be the only school district to outright reject the club,” citing a lack of minimum school approval. The vague wording has motivated The Satanic Temple to ponder a future legal challenge. Such a tact may bode well for the Satanists because, as the Times notes, “The Christians may have the force of Heaven behind them, but the Satanists have the U.S. Supreme Court.”
It is option No. 3, however, that some observers feel may be the real reason for the After School Satan push. In August, The Federalist, published an article about the Satanic Temple’s initiative. In the piece, it is reported that the Temple has taken to throwing the baby out with the bathwater just to remove Christian groups from public schools.
The article goes on to state, “by positioning themselves as faux Satanists instead of as the After-School Atheist Club, for example, they recklessly risk closing the forum to every group, even ones that have nothing to do with religion, like the Girl Scouts and 4-H. This potentially destroys the forum to save it from the Christians. Their opposition to evangelical Christianity should not result in denying equal access to everyone.”
The charge of being fake Satanists is in reference to another satanic organization. According to The Federalist, the Church of Satan, founded in 1969, is the “official voice of true Satanism.” In a statement published on their website in August, the Church criticizes the Temple’s after school program as being in violation of a satanic tenet against any kind or proselytizing of minors.
Another blow to The Satanic Temple’s credibility comes from the very words spoken by its founder, Mr. Grieves. In an interview with Vice, Grieves, who was known as Doug Mesner then, refers to his group’s purpose as being a satirical attack on Christianity as well as the “poison pill” of the weakened Church and State separation. In other words, they are defined by what and who they are against, a rather illiberal notion to be supported by the public education system.
The Satanic Temple continues to push for the opening of more programs across the country, so look for the eternal struggle between God’s call for faith versus Satan’s temptation of vast mortal and carnal knowledge to be coming to a school near you soon.

However, Huawei has something to say about this … Since you are already planning to launch something in the next “12 months”!
Although LG, Lenovo, Microsoft, and other manufacturers are also developing mobile phones with this technology, Samsung always said in a nutshell that it would be the first to hit the market with a mobile phone of this type!
That said, several rumors in recent months point to Huawei as a big rival in this race!. Namely after it has concluded an agreement with Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) to provide the flexible OLED panels.
All with the aim of getting into the market as early as 2019!
The CEO of Huawei ‘Richard Yu’ has already spoken publicly on this subject!
Telling the German newspaper ‘Die Welt’ that the company is already working hard on its technology to develop a foldable mobile phone. Emphasizing that ” You will not need to wait another year “!
That said, while the CEO was quite cautious to talk about the details of this device, mentioned that its purpose is to try to replace the current desktop PCs.
“Why are you still using a computer? Probably because the screen is too small for you! We’re going to change that. After all, it is quite possible for a screen to be folded. “
This is exciting news, and very good for the industry! After all, more competition is always an excellent signal to the consumer! However, all this may just be a marketing move to put the name of Huawei in the mouths of the world … Or even a translation error, since a smartphone capable of replacing a desktop in 2019 is very unlikely.
In short, it’s not just an attempt to steal the number one maker of smartphones from Samsung!
But also in parallel, an effort to further increase the distance between Huawei and Apple! After the first one was able to surpass the company of the apple at the end of last July.
Which probably explains why Huawei has revealed its plans so close to the launch of the iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and Xr … However, the focus of the Chinese giant will continue in its plans to launch mobile phones capable of supporting 5G networks with its new SoC Kirin 980.

HOQUIAM, Wash. -- Hoquiam held a candlelight vigil Tuesday night to honor the memory of slain Pierce County sheriff's deputy Daniel McCartney, who began his career in law enforcement in this small town.
The 34-year-old married father of three, who was fatally shot Sunday night while on duty in Frederickson, started out working at the Grays Harbor County juvenile facility before he joined the Hoquiam Police Department in 2009.
McCartney's death has been especially hard on this small, tight-knit community.
At the vigil, a tearful former Hoquiam Police Department co-worker of McCartney's said "I have not stopped crying for two days, but my heart is with Sarah and the boys and I know he is in heaven right now looking down."
Dozens gathered outside the police department Tuesday night to light a candle to honor McCartney's memory.
"I've struggled with the loss that he and his family are going to pay and the sacrifice those boys are going to have never having their dad and I don't know -- it's tough to balance that right now. But I hope there are other Daniel McCarneys that step forward and continue the legacy of law enforcement," Myers said.
For six years, McCartney served alongside the men and women on the Hoquiam police force.
"The biggest thing about Dan is, he was a great dad. He was such a devoted father and husband. His boys were his everything."
His fellow officers will continue to do the job that McCartney loved so much -- to keep the peace.
"My hope is when people hear about Dan, about this night, that good men and women will step up and they will do their part, they will protect the community."

Ready to Buy an Embroidery Machine?
In case you’re prepared to purchase a weaving machine, there are some essential things you have to know before you start. Take after these five tips for deciding the correct sort of weaving machine for you. PE 770 embroidery
1. An imperative variable when you begin to assess and contrast weaving machines is with ensure that you comprehend what you need to do with it. The motivation behind why this is vital is on account of certain weaving machines are better at specific things.

The influenza virus (or commonly known as the flu) affects most of us each year. And like clockwork, flu season has returned once again.
While it’s easy to mistake the flu for a minor cold at first but once the symptoms worsen be sure your cold has turned into the flu.
For years on end I have been asked— ”Did you take your flu shot already?”
Being the naturapath I am, I have always been evasive of all vaccines and let my body fight every virus by being aware of building my immunity year round. I’m here to announce — this is a thing of the past and the last two bouts of flu I have contracted, have taken the mickey out of me, with recovery taking longer than ever. So I now take the flu shot, it does not gurantee that you will not contract the flu, but if you do, it will be a mild attack.
That being said, here are some pointers on the all-in-all of THE FLU —
Flu vs Cold
While the flu shares many of the symptoms of the common cold, symptoms of the flu are typically more severe and come on quicker. The main differences between a flu and a cold are how bad the symptoms are and how long you have them for.
- Flu symptoms begin suddenly and are severe lasting for up to ten days to two weeks. Flu symptoms can include a dry cough, fever (although not everyone with the flu will run a fever) , a sore throat, shaking chills, severe muscle or body ache, headache, a stuffy and runny nose and severe fatigue.
- Cold symptoms are typically milder and last for up to a week. If you have a cold, you’ll probably have symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, sneezing, cough, headache or body aches, mild tiredness.
Treating the flu symptoms is essential to get over it swiftly. The best way is to rest…rest.. and rest some more!
Here are some tips that will help you feel better faster —
Stay home —
During a bout of the flu, your body needs time and energy to combat the virus. Consequently, it’s important to prioritise your health over your daily routine. While it is tempting to run errands and odd jobs, staying at home and resting should be the only thing on your mind. This not only aids in your recovery but also helps prevent the spread of the flu virus to others especially because the flu can pose a serious risk to older adults.
Take extra hygiene care —
To prevent the virus from spreading, it’s essential to practise good hygiene habits like washing your hands regularly for approximately 20 seconds using soap and water. When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with your arm instead of your hands or use disposable tissues. The flu is highly contagious and can easily spread through the air when you cough or sneeze, so be diligent about maintaining good hygiene. Consider keeping antibacterial wipes or sanitiser to prevent the spreading of germs.
Eat healthy to boost your immune system —
Although your appetite may diminish when you’re unwell, eating small meals abundant in nutrients will give your body the energy it needs to combat the flu virus. While chicken noodle soup is a classic comfort food when you’re feeling under the weather, there are numerous other nutritious choices to help you recover. Be sure to incorporate a variety of colourful, antioxidant-rich vegetables, hearty sources of protein and nutrient-packed whole grains. All these options help your body recover. Steer clear of processed foods and sugary items.
To combat the flu’s symptoms, it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Water is the best choice for replenishing lost fluids, but coconut water, herbal teas, juices, electrolyte drinks, soup, broth or tea with honey can also give you relief while keeping you hydrated. Be sure to avoid alcohol and caffeine as they are diuretics. You can gauge your level of hydration by the frequency of urination and the colour of your urine. If you’re drinking enough fluids, your urine should be nearly clear or pale yellow. Dehydration is a concern if your urine is deep yellow or amber.
Stock up on essentials —
Purchase flu essentials like tissues, a steamer, sanitiser, disinfectant, washcloths, lozenges, over-the-counter pain relievers, decongestants, cough suppressants, your favourite teas and nutritious foods. If you’re already ill, ask a family member or friend to do your shopping for you or opt for home delivered stores.
Add moisture to the air —
To alleviate flu symptoms, it’s important to hydrate indoor air. Dry air can worsen your condition. Dry indoor air can prolong the survival of the flu virus and potentially increase its spread. Heating or air conditioning systems can further dry out the air. A humidifier or vaporizer can help by adding moisture to the air. Various types of humidifiers and steam vaporizers are readily available at affordable prices in local stores, pharmacies or online. Additionally, it’s advisable to minimise smoking during illness, as it can exacerbate irritation in your nose, throat, and lungs.
In essence, the most beneficial approach to treating the flu is to prioritise rest and avoid pushing yourself. The flu typically progresses, with symptoms worsening before improving. Depriving your body of rest during the initial days of symptoms can prolong your recovery time. Getting ample sleep is the most effective remedy for your body while fighting the flu. While watching TV and relaxing on the couch is fine, be sure to get enough rest with your eyes shut. Opt for an earlier bedtime and allow yourself to sleep in. Taking daytime naps can also help your body in its recovery process. Adequate rest and sleep also lower the risk of severe flu complications, such as pneumonia.
A few natural remedies —
- Elderberry- Elderberry has been used for hundreds of years to treat the flu.
- Honey and turmeric- Honey and turmeric is one of the best natural remedies for the flu. You can suck on it or mix it in hot water and drink it as a tea.
- Zinc- Eat plenty of zinc rich foods like red meat, shellfish, lentils, chickpeas, beans, nuts, seeds, dairy and eggs.
- Steam inhalation- Breathing in steam can help soothe your nose, sinuses, throat and lungs. The water vapour loosens the mucus build up and congestion and relieves swelling in the nose and lungs.
- Gargle with salt and warm water
The bottom line —
In most cases of the flu, symptoms resolve within one to two weeks and you’ll likely not need to see a doctor. If your flu symptoms start to get better and then get rapidly worse, or don’t subside after two weeks, contact your doctor.
Remember to rest, hydrate and stay home. Get a yearly flu shot to help avoid being defeated by the flu. Finally, be mindful of how your health affects the people around you, especially those with compromised immune systems.
Stay home when you are infectious!
NOTE — flu shots for Mumbaikars should be taken before the onset of the monsoon.

Young men involved in the criminal justice system face disproportionately high rates of sexual risk behavior, drug, use, and violence. Little is known about how their involvement in sex partnerships might mitigate their unique health and social risks. This study explores whether sex partner experience protects against harmful sexual behaviors, drug problems, violence, and recidivism in year-old Black and Latino men leaving a US jail.
Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between sex partner experience and sex behavior, drug use, violence, and recidivism. However, the positive effects of having a long-term sex partner generally do not apply over time - in this case, one year after being released from jail.
Aside from sexual partners, factors such as employment and housing stability predict whether these young men will experience positive or negative outcomes post-incarceration. This study highlights the importance and potential benefits of health interventions that engage young Black and Latino men who are involved in the criminal justice system in the US, as well as their sex partners, in health promotion programs.
The study also confirms the need for programs that address the employment and housing needs of young men after they leave correctional facilities. In this study, we explore the role of sex partnerships in the health and social risks of young men leaving jail. Research consistently demonstrates that compared with non-incarcerated youth in the US, incarcerated adolescents face disproportionately high health and social risks related to sex, drugs, violence, and recidivism [ 1 — 4 ].
Most interventions designed to mitigate these risks operate at the behavioral level [ 5 ] and rarely lead to significant or lasting behavioral changes - and therefore improved health and social outcomes - in the long term.

Short story writing is not what Booker prize short-listed author Rohinton Mistry is most known for, but Tales from Firozsha Bag was his first book, and it is a book of short stories. It is also published as “Swimming Lessons and other Stories from FIrozsha Bag.“
I picked it up last week, and was amazed at his sense of voice. He writes as an old woman who works as a maid for a Parsi family with as much conviction as that of a schoolboy who spends his Sunday mornings plucking white hair from his father’s head.
Even more than the voice, I loved the compassion and humor threaded through the stories, how Mistry had me laugh and cry at the same time. The characters are so well fleshed out, as is the atmosphere–Mistry took me into that apartment complex in Firozsha Bag, and despite the dirt, squalor, squashed hopes, mortality, fear and loathing he portrayed, I did not want to leave.
I ought to have read his novels Family Matters and A Fine Balance by now. I’m going to address that look as soon as I can.
This sounds like a good read. It's a pity that collections of short stories are not held in as high esteem as novels. I love them.
Wow, it looks like a great book, thanks for recommending.
I love when a writer can touch my heart that way.
I'll have to check out his books.


Apple’s third generation set top box, the Apple TV 3 went on sale last week, and one forum member for XBMC.org, decided to take the new Apple TV apart.
The new Apple TV 3 features a single core A5 processor, which has been upgraded from the A4 in the previous Apple TV, and it now comes with double the RAM of the previous version with 512MB of RAM.
It looks like it has the same built in storage as the Apple TV 2 with an 8GB part from Toshiba, and the new model now features a second antenna, that wasn’t in the previous version although there are no details as yet on how the new antenna is being used. Have a look at our handy guide which explains the difference between LCD and LED TVs.

Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22, has been named as the gunman who opened fire late Tuesday in the Clackamas Town Center shopping mall in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon .
Besides naming Roberts, the Clackamas Sheriff’s Office Wednesday have identified the victims as Cindy Ann Yuille, age 54, a resident of northeast Portland and Steven Mathew Forsyth, age 45, of West Linn.
The third victim — Kristina Shevchenko, a juvenile — survived the attack and is now being treated for her injuries at OHSU’s trauma center. She is listed in serious condition at this writing.
According to the Sheriff’s office, Roberts died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
During the attack, Roberts was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, which was stolen yesterday from a person known to him. At the time of the attack, Roberts was wearing a load-bearing vest, but not a bulletproof vest, as had been reported. He was also wearing a hockey-style face mask.
The Sheriff’s office said they still haven’t established how many shots Roberts fired during the attack, although they believe he was carrying a large amount of ammunition. There are indications that the gun jammed that Roberts was using, which if the case contributed to there not being more victims.
After the Sheriff’s Office identified Jacob Roberts as the suspect in this case, deputies executed search warrants on his home — located at 7324 SE 84th Avenue in Portland, Oregon — and on his vehicle, a 1996 Volkswagen Jetta found in the Clackamas Town Center parking lot. Results of these search warrants are not being revealed at this writing.
At this writing, investigators have not determined a motive, but it appears that there was no prior relationship between the suspect and his victims.
The family of victim Forsyth released a statement saying that, “Steven Mathew Forsyth was a loving husband, father of two children, son, brother, uncle, youth sports coach and friend to the many people who had the privilege to meet him.”
“Steve was one of the most passionate people with a true entrepreneurial spirit that drove him to start his business, Coastoms. He had a great sense of humor and a zest for life. He had vision and a belief in others that brought great joy and value to many lives,” the statement continued, adding “He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.”
The Yuille family also released a statement, noting that “Cindy was everybody’s friend. She was a wonderful person who was very caring and put others first.”
Both families have asked to not be contacted by the media.
At 3:29 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 12, the Clackamas Sheriff’s Office received multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting an active shooter at Clackamas Town Center, with the first unit arriving on-scene 1 minute later, at 3:30 p.m.
Once on scene, deputies initiated an “active shooter protocol” — a technique developed to deal with precisely this type of threat. In this protocol, rather than waiting for a SWAT team to deploy, individual officers are trained to form up in teams as they arrive and move immediately to engage the threat. This involves officers from different agencies being thrown together on short notice. Law-enforcement personnel on-scene executed this protocol to the highest standard, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Personnel were well-prepared for this incident because they had practiced active-shooter techniques at Clackamas Town Center earlier this year.
Police has previously said that four SWAT units were called to the scene, and they admitted that while the situation was chaotic as law officers had to evacuate over 10,000 shoppers in an area of 1.4 million square feet, the response was rapid and “they did it in record time.”
Prior to beginning his attack, Roberts parked his vehicle in the mall’s south lot, near Macy’s. He then moved north on foot through Macy’s towards the food court. He then opened fire, fatally wounding two victims. Crime Scene Investigators also found indications of additional bullet strikes throughout the food court area.
Roberts is believed to have then moved east — past the Macy’s Home Store and into a service stairwell.
Moving down onto the lower floor of the mall, he continued east towards JC Penney’s, where he was found dead by responding law-enforcement personnel — 22 minutes after the first 911 call.
At some point during this attack, Roberts wounded his third victim, Kristina Shevchenko, a juvenile. Shevchenko managed to exit the mall near REI, where law-enforcement personnel contacted her and began rendering medical assistance.
The mall remains closed today, however after it opens again for business, the Sheriff’s Office and mall personnel are planning for extra patrols.
The Sheriff’s Office said it wanted to “thank all of our local, state and federal law enforcement and emergency-services partners for their extraordinary efforts in this case. Several neighboring jurisdictions — including Oregon City and Woodburn — made the decision to send all of their on-duty officers to the scene.”
“Even after it was determined the suspect was deceased, this extraordinary level of cooperation and support continued — allowing the Sheriff’s Office to move ahead rapidly with this investigation,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
Participating agencies in this incident response included Police officers from Portland, Milwaukie, Gladstone, Oregon City, Canby, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Molalla, Woodburn and Sandy
Also assisting were Oregon State Police, FBI, ATF, Portland Transit Police, Clackamas Fire District #1, AMR, C-COM and The Portland CSI and Oregon State Police crime laboratories.

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO -- At the State Capitol, employees were on edge Thursday after one of their own was viciously attacked while leaving work Wednesday afternoon.
The victim, an Assembly custodial worker, was stabbed by a homeless man downtown near 11th and O streets, according to Sacramento police. At 5 p.m., it is probably one of the most populated intersections in terms of pedestrians in the city.
"We actually have a parking garage used by the legislator, as well as a surface lot right up that street," said Assemblyman Ken Cooley, D-Rancho Cordova.
Cooley says that’s what alarms him about Wednesday's attack, as the victim was under his purview as a legislative employee.
"I’m actually the chair of the Rules Committee, which is the committee which oversees HR issues in the Assembly," Cooley told FOX40.
Sacramento police say Sean O'Neal was sitting in a wheelchair when he got into a fight with the victim. O'Neal eventually stabbed the man in the arm.
"What we do know is that there was some sort of argument and the suspect did spit on the victim, and then that led the suspect getting out of his wheelchair and stabbing the victim," said Sacramento Police Sgt. Vance Chandler.
O'Neal ran off but was quickly captured by CHP officers in Capitol Park.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is doing OK thanks to the quick actions of his colleagues.
"I understand a number of DGS custodial employees were right on the scene," Cooley said. "Someone else took a belt off and put it on the arm to kind of tourniquet sort of thing."
Cooley says he went to the scene of the attack Wednesday afternoon and the next morning. He and other lawmakers are letting their staff members know of the attack and warning everyone to be careful.
"It’s very disturbing," Cooley said. "We, of course, on behalf of our employees, will look at how we provide security. But I’ve already initiated those conversations."
For the most part, office employees and state workers FOX40 has talked to in the area say they feel safe.
Meanwhile, O'Neal is behind bars and will face charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon and a bail of $50,000.
Editor's Note: The suspect's last name has been corrected and is O'Neal.

An ENO spokesman couldn't confirm the donation, but told PlaybillArts that the 63-year-old tycoon will be supporting future productions at London's Coliseum Theatre, including Offenbach's La Belle H_lne and Puccini's Madame Butterfly, scheduled for March and April 2006, respectively.
Laidlaw made his fortune with an events, conference, and newsletter business which he founded over 30 years ago and sold last summer for Ô£768 million. His stake was a reported Ô£714 million. Even before the sale, the London Sunday Times named him the 101st richest person in Britain, worth an estimated Ô£499 million.
Laidlaw has also been an active contributor to Britain's Conservative Party, and was made a life peer in 2004.
The ENO has been through a rough patch recently; the company lost its chairman, chief executive, and music director over the past three months; it barely avoided a staff strike; and is plagued by severe financial problems. The company recently appointed John Berry artistic director; it is still searching for a new music director and chairman.
Laidlaw's donation, if is confirmed, would be timely, as the furniture group MFI has completed its Ô£300,000 sponsorship of Wagner's Ring cycle. Sky Television will provide Ô£5 million over six years from 2003 to 2009.

Bangalore-based Aequs Aerospace, India’s largest private integrated aerospace components maker, has fully acquired Paris, Texas-based T&K Machine. This is the first international aerospace-related manufacturing buy by an Indian company, Aequs chairman and CEO Aravind Melligeri told AIN.
“This acquisition will give us an entry into Boeing and other customers. The U.S. company will handle low volume runs that include shipsets below four units, primarily for the B777 and 747, as they provide logistic challenges to ship,” said Melligeri. “The U.S. aerospace and defense industry might have slowed down for now, but we do know business will open soon.”
Larger volumes will be manufactured in Aequs’ India facility. “A large inventory provides enough room for cost savings,” he said.
Aequs hopes to absorb through its U.S. facility packages worth $10 million this year. “A local presence in the U.S. will make a big difference to our customers,” Melligeri said. Plans to export to Korea are also in the cards.
T&K Machine supplies machined parts and assemblies to Spirit AeroSystems, UTAS, Boeing, Triumph-Vought Aerostructures and Bell Helicopter. It produces three, four and five-axis detail aerospace components ranging in size from large bases, chords and stringers to small fittings, pins and clevises. Aequs specializes in precision machining, sheet metal fabrication, assembly, forging and special processing for OEMs and Tier 1 customers.

"Elsewhere is this close dream," wrote the Tunisian poet Amina Said. A place elsewhere in the heart of the plastic and aesthetic exploration that Caroline Trucco leads through a protean work, where photography, sculpture, installation, video and writing intersect. Impregnated with the poetics of the relationship, the artist feeds his reflections on exoticism, exile, deterritorialisation and wandering, from his readings by Edouard Glissant and Victor Segalen. Between real and fantasy, her many trips to West Africa are the occasion to project personal migrations in an attempt to put into exile of herself. The artist thus cultivates an exotic posture of wandering to write a geopoetic: a transitional geography, imaginary, fantastic. [...]
Besides geography, knowledge of the world and of the Other also passes through objects. Carefully collected in the course of colonial expeditions to inventory and inventory the world and men, objects hold an important place in the artist's installations, which critically replays the ethnographic museum. The recurrence of the object in his work testifies to a sustained interest in craftsmanship, know-how and technical rigor.

A COVID-19 testing centre in Ottawa's downtown core is pausing operations as demand drops for assessments across the capital.
The Ottawa COVID-19 Testing Taskforce says after careful consideration with a number of key partners, the testing operations at the McNabb Community Centre will close as of Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 4 p.m.
The assessment centre at the community centre on Percy Street opened in November to provide another testing option for residents who live in Centretown, Hintonburg, Westboro and the Glebe.
"This pause will minimally impact residents in the downtown core who are seeking COVID-19 testing," said the Ottawa COVID-19 Testing Taskforce in a statement.
"Initially, when the McNabb site was in early development, there were no additional options for testing in the downtown core, especially for those who required walk-up testing. Now, in addition to the McNabb site, two other sites have been operationalized downtown to serve this population — namely the Somerset West Community Health Centre and Centretown Community Health Centre."
The Centretown Community Health Centre is open for COVID-19 testing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Somerset West Community Health Centre is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"If testing volumes increase and there is the need to provide additional testing capacity in the downtown core, the taskforce has the tools and resources to reopen McNabb’s testing site in a matter of days," said the taskforce.
According to daily COVID-19 statistics provided by the Ottawa COVID-19 Testing Taskforce, 415 COVID-19 tests were performed at the McNabb Community Centre between Feb. 1 and 4.
The COVID-19 Drive-Thru Assessment Centre at the National Arts Centre is also open for testing.
NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE TESTING SITE
Starting Monday, residents from outside of Ontario can be tested for COVID-19 at the COVID-19 Drive-Thru Assessment Centre at the National Arts Centre.
The Ottawa COVID-19 Testing Taskforce says the drive-thru assessment centre will accept residents with any valid Canadian health card. Previously, only residents with Ontario Health Insurance Plan cards could be tested at the facility.
"The transition to expand to other provincial health cards is being made to better support accessible testing for all residents in the Ottawa-area."

Russia’s richest own much of the wealth while the majority are only just getting by
- Tax increases and fuel hikes will hit middle-income and poor Russians as real disposable income is set to fall for yet another year.
- Higher living costs will intensify the sense that a wealthy ruling elite is squeezing voters for cash.
- The falling popularity of President Vladimir Putin and his government suggests Russians resent their treatment.
- Past protests about corruption, road tax and waste disposal show people are prepared to mobilise around economic hardship and unfairness.
By any measure, Russia has become a much less equal society since 1991. While 10% of the population own 82% of all household wealth, 41% had incomes of 300 dollars or less in 2017, with 13% falling below the official subsistence level.
Although the highest average incomes are earned in oil and gas regions and in Moscow and St. Petersburg, these places are often more unequal than others, reflected by higher Gini coefficient numbers. Thus, Moscow and St. Petersburg are home to the wealthiest residents but also many of the poorest. Russia differs from some other societies in that the rich are widely perceived to have acquired their wealth unlawfully.

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports.
• The Texans signed North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams on Friday, making him the first overall selection in the 2006 NFL draft. In the past 20 years, five defensive players were chosen with the first overall pick: Aundray Bruce (1988), Russell Maryland (1991), Steve Emtman (1992), Dan Wilkinson (1994) and Courtney Brown (2000). Those five players combined to earn one Pro Bowl selection (Maryland for Dallas in 1993).
