This History of English Literature is essentially biographical, for true criticism cannot separate the author from his book. Leaving entirely out of sight what is no light matter in a work written for the young,--the living interest thus given to a subject for which some have little love,—so much do the colour and the flavour of that wonderful Mind-fruit, called a Book, depend upon the atmosphere in which it has ripened, and the soil whence its sweet or sour juices have been drawn, that these important influences cannot be overlooked in tracing, however slightly, the growth of a Literature.
It has, accordingly, been my principal object to shew how the books, which we prize among the brightest of our national glories, have grown out of human lives—rooted oftener, perhaps, in sorrow than in joy; and how the scenery and the society, amid which an author played ouư his fleeting part, have left indelible hues upon the pages that he wrote.
Instead of trying to compress the History of our

And here, in passing, I may say that only those who have tried it can estimate the difficulty of striking a balance in the case of certain names, when space and plan will admit of no choice but between a chapter and a paragraph. With great regret, and not without some misgivings, was I forced to assign to a secondary place Defoe, Adam Smith (in spite of Buckle’s praise), Lamb, Wilson, De Quincey, Chalmers, Kingsley, Hugh Miller, and many others. The same difficulty met me in the formation of the Supplementary Lists, which, however, will serve to give what, I hope, is a tolerably accurate idea of those third-class writers, or rather first-class writers of the third degree, who adorn the present century.
In the opening chapter of the various Eras I have ventured to add to the simple history of our Literature what I believe to be a novelty in a book of this kind. Recognising the value of such pictures to the student of national history, I have attempted to reproduce, with some vividness, scenes of vanished author-life, and to trace the chief steps by which a green leaf has become a printed volume. For, to know something of the dress our books have worn at various times, and the stuff of which the older ones were made ; to see the minstrel singing in the Castle hall, and the monk at work in the still Scriptorium; to peep at Caxton in the Almonry, and watch the curtain rise on Shakspere at the Globe; to trace the lights and shadows flung upon English books from
Cavalier satins and the more sober-coloured garments of their opponents; to see courtly poison withering Dryden's wreath of bay, and men like Johnson starving their way to fame: these are surely things of no slight interest and value to the earnest student of English Literature. And to such this book is offered.

DNR seeks comment on Finland area lakes and streams management planPeople interested in learning about or commenting on Minnesota Department of Natural Resources strategies for managing Finland area lakes and streams have until March 26 to ask questions or submit comments.
By: News-Chronicle, Lake County News Chronicle
People interested in learning about or commenting on Minnesota Department of Natural Resources strategies for managing Finland area lakes and streams have until March 26 to ask questions or submit comments.
“Management plans describe the past, present and desired future conditions of the water resources,” said Kelly McQuiston, Finland area fisheries acting supervisor. “The plans identify specific management activities planned for that lake or stream in the next five to 20 years.”
Every year DNR fisheries staff prepares or revises individual lake and stream management plans for several waters in each management area. In the Finland area, plans for the following lakes and streams are being reviewed:
-Lakes in Cook County: Mesaba Lake and Wine Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
-Lakes in Lake County: Campers Lake, Dam Five Lake, Gegoka Lake, Harriet Lake, Johnson Lake, Kawasachong Lake (BWCAW), Nicado Lake, Outlaw Lake, Two Deer Lake, Wilson Lake, and Windy Lake.
-Streams in Lake County: Cabin Creek, East Brach Moose Creek, Lindstrom Creek, Little Manitou River, and Manitou River.
People can review current plans for lakes and streams in the area as well as recent fish population assessment information at the DNR’s Finland area fisheries office, 6686 Highway 1, Box 546, Finland, MN. Office hours are 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Individuals also may call 218-353-7591, or email email@example.com to request a copy of a plan or submit written comments. Comments may be submitted via mail or email.
Suggestions for management of any of the other lakes and streams in the Finland area are welcome at any time and will be considered when those plans are due for review.
The DNR’s lake management activities are largely funded through the sale of fishing licenses and the Federal Sport Fish Restoration Act.


Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) has been used to follow the dynamic structure evolution of two protein/polysaccharide mixed biopolymer gel systems during large strain deformation. Gelatin/maltodextrin composites exhibited a ‘;pseudo-yielding’ stress-strain response in both tension and compression, when the gelatin-rich phase is continuous, which was attributed to debonding of the particle/matrix interface. This behaviour was significantly less apparent for gelatin/agarose mixed gels. The interfacial fracture energy of the two systems was determined using an elastomer composite debonding model. The gelatin/maltodextrin interfacial fracture energy (∼0.2 J.m-2) was found to be an order of magnitude less than for gelatin/agarose, leading to the observed variation for the two systems.


(Article by Oliver L. North & David Goetsch republished from WND.com)
"I had COVID-19 in May. My doctor tells me I'm better protected than any vaccine. What law gives this president the authority to tell my employer (an airline) to fire me next month if I don't get vaccinated?" That question was posed this weekend while we waited for a delayed flight.
There is no law. President Joe Biden's mendacious mandate is merely an unprecedented executive power grab. This is the kind of government coercion and socialist tyranny we explain in our book, "We Didn't Fight for Socialism: America's Veterans Speak Up."
In it, we warn how government control over the lives of citizens is the ultimate goal of socialist regimes. The freedoms in our Bill of Rights and the individual liberty that is the cornerstone of our Constitution are anathema to socialists. Freedom and liberty are the antithesis of government coercion and control. When the elected officials and bureaucrats who run the government work for the people, socialist tyranny is impossible.
We also describe how socialists use "emergency situations" to take control over the lives of citizens. In 2008, President Barack Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said, "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that is (it's) an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." His use of the word "you" was wrong. He meant "we."
Apparently, then-Vice President Biden understood. He and the leftist ideologues now pulling his strings took Emanuel's advice. COVID-19 gave them the "serious crisis" they craved.
Once government gains control over any aspect of individual citizens' lives, it does not easily surrender such power. Victor Davis Hanson of the Hoover Institution, in an interview with Dinesh D'Souza on Oct. 17, stated the left has "declared war" on the very idea of citizenship.
According to our Constitution, elected officials serve at the pleasure of our citizens. But to Biden and his "progressive" minions, individual citizens are but mindless chess pieces to be manipulated by government.
Emanuel admitted a crisis allows government to do things it otherwise could not do. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a president might well have been impeached for insisting employers fire pilots, flight attendants, police officers, firemen, truck drivers and heroic first responders, et al., for "violating" an unconstitutional mandate.
But, like all his socialist predecessors, Biden unleashed a powerful propaganda campaign to deceive, distort, divide and destroy opponents with fear. His pliant allies in the so-called mainstream media aided this strategy. That's why he used an executive order instead of congressional legislation to impose his "fire them" rule.
Sadly, it's not over yet. Our book also warns about the terrible history of socialist tyrants' unrelenting pursuit of government control even when results are disastrous. This is most likely the case with Biden's vaccine mandate. Today, businesses are shutting down because they cannot attract or keep a sufficient number of employees while Biden's mandate is wreaking havoc on our already faltering economy by causing irreplaceable personnel to quit or be fired.
This is unconscionable. Americans cannot be fired for their religion, skin color, age, medical condition or sexual orientation, but Biden orders them fired for refusing the so-called COVID inoculation. This is socialist tyranny.

Grantmaking At WorkExplore the stories below to learn more about our past grants.
It is easy to underestimate the task of teaching a child to read. Because this lesson is taught early in life, we tend to regard it as simple and basic – like learning to walk. Yet millions of American children grow up without ever becoming truly literate, despite having attended school. Prof. Maria Murray, Founder and Executive Director of The Reading League, began studying this issue in 2015 and came to a radical conclusion: We need to reimagine how we teach children to read.

A sound does not view itself as thought
A sound does not view itself as thought is a project that explores various ways in which projections and live video footage can capture and transform live action on stage.
It uses a video camera to capture live performance which is projected on the screen, another video camera captures the image that is projected on the screen which is projected beside another image.
The images captured by the video camera can be modified by computer programming to generate delay which creates disparity between live performance and live video footage, as a result, it can challenges viewer’s perception of time and space.

Microsoft has tried to sell its Surface tablet as a more complete PC than Apple’s iPad. But Microsoft has moved on from that battle with the unveiling of its new Surface Pro 3 tablet, and is instead taking aim at Apple’s MacBook Air. Microsoft’s newest Surface, which it says can replace your laptop once and for all, is now bigger than ever. The Surface Pro 3 has a 12-inch screen, which is about an inch-and-a-half bigger than earlier models. But the device is also lighter than it’s ever been, weighing in at less than two pounds. Microsoft also unveiled new Surface accessories, including a Type Cover that comes with a much larger trackpad and also provides increased sturdiness by magnetically sealing itself to the screen. The Surface Pro’s stylus also got an upgrade, and can now launch OneNote with the click of a button at any time – even if the Surface is powered off. Pre-orders for the Surface Pro 3 are available now, starting at $799 for the entry-level Intel Core i3 model.

The first consignment of Fresh Avocados from Kenya has hit the Chinese market. Kenya’s Ambassador to China Muthoni Gichohi attended the official hand-over ceremony of the first batch of Kenya’s fresh avocado export to China which also marks the very first export of such avocados from Africa. The event took place in Beijing, China.
The Ambassador affirmed Kenya’s commitment to supporting the business communities in both countries as they look forward to enhancing trade facilitation as well as market access of their products and services to China.
Dr. Wilfred Marube, Chief Executive Officer, Kenya Export Promotion and Branding Agency: “Kenya aims to export over 100,000 tonnes of avocados. The 1.4 billion population in China is a huge market for Kenya not only for avocados but also for other fresh produce such as mangoes and bananas.”

September 25, 2015 by Hayley Miller, Senior Digital Media Associate
In an op-ed for The Advocate, activists Cleve Jones and Liz Highleyman wrote about the ways the white LGBT community can help to end the HIV & AIDS crisis in the black community.
“Although HIV has become an increasingly manageable disease for people with access to effective treatment, it continues to ravage black communities. African-Americans are more likely to be newly infected with HIV, are diagnosed later, and often receive a lower quality of care,” they wrote. “While many LGBT activists and organizations have turned their attention to same-sex marriage and other issues, we cannot let HIV and AIDS fall off our radar.”
While black people represent approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population, diagnosis rates are shockingly high. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), black people accounted for 44 percent of new HIV infections in 2010, and 41 percent of all people living with an HIV infection in 2011.
“Young black gay and bisexual men have the highest rate of infection, and transgender people of color are also heavily affected,” they continued. “If these trends continue, it is estimated that black gay and bi men have a 60 percent chance of becoming HIV-positive by the time they reach age 40.”
In addition to endorsing PrEP, Jones and Highleyman provided several ways the LGBT community can come together as a whole to combat HIV & AIDS.
“HIV in African-American communities is a big, complicated, and painful issue, but there are many ways white LGBT people can act in solidarity as allies,” they explained. “We can start by speaking out and by showing up at rallies, fundraisers, protests, and vigils. We can join the Black Lives Matter fight against police abuse, mass incarceration, and the criminalization of HIV.”


The 6-year-old Olney-Bissell School student who was struck by a speeding car while getting off a school bus remains hospitalized nearly three months after the incident.
Jordana Hubble was getting off a bus along U.S. Highway 93 northwest of Whitefish on Nov. 12 when she was struck by a vehicle traveling 40 miles per hour in the opposing lane as she crossed in front of the bus. The girl is suffering from extensive brain damage. In January, Hubble was transferred to a hospital in Houston where she remains in a “minimally conscious state.”
Montana Highway Patrolman Jon Raymond said investigators recently got the results of a blood sample from the driver who struck Hubble. He said the female driver was not intoxicated at the time of the incident. Raymond said the case has now been handed off to the Flathead County Attorney’s Office, although Montana Highway Patrol troopers have recommended that the woman be charged with careless driving.
Meanwhile, Hubble’s family and friends are pushing for stricter driving laws and punishments for those who do not stop for school buses. On Jan. 31, Hubble’s supporters met with state representatives and officials from local schools at the Montana Department of Transportation office in Kalispell to discuss putting together a package of bills they’ve dubbed “Jordana’s Law” to prevent similar incidents in the future. Griz Woldstad of Trego spent 12 years driving school buses and is spearheading the effort to change the laws. Among the things Woldstad would like to see is a clarification of the current laws so that people know when they need to stop, specifically on divided highways, and more efforts to educate the public of those laws. They also want motor vehicles to be classified as “deadly weapons” and the punishment for those who pass school buses to be much stricter. Among the punishments they would like to see is the loss of a driver’s license for 30 days and vehicle impoundment.
Woldstad said he would also like to see a mechanical arm with a stop sign added to the side of buses that would protrude into the opposing lane when a bus is stopped to make it more obvious to drivers.
“There is a legislative fix and an equipment fix,” Woldstad said.
Legislators who attended the meeting encouraged Woldstad to keep working on his proposals and said they may be able to pick up the cause during the 2021 session.
“There are a lot of great ideas here,” said Kalispell Rep. Frank Garner.

Spring is here and the lovey sunny weather has really sprung me into action into planting up my herb garden all ready for summer. Every year I plant a few seeds so I can enjoy fantastic fresh herbs in my salads, dips, and cocktails. This year I have planted cilantro, dill, basil, mint, and oregano. I also bought myself a mint and basil plant over in the flower market in Gyeongridan to get things started and all the rest are sown from seeds I got from Daiso. They have such an array of gardening stuff and it’s all dirt cheap so why not give it a try. You might be surprised at how well things like basil and mint grow here, and the benefits of having your own fresh herbs on hand are priceless.
I decided that I would also try and have another go at growing vegetables this year so I’ve planted some beetroot, onions, courgettes, and lettuce. My tomato plant of last year wasn’t as successful as I was hoping as we only got about 6 cherry tomatoes from it, but six is surely better than nothing. And since then I’ve been reading up on some tips and found that pinching the leaves goes along way to getting more fruit.
As you can see from my pictures we don’t have a great deal of space, but it’s more than ample. And once those veggies start to sprout I’ll move them into bigger containers. Below are the basil plants I managed to grow last year, by the end of summer we were practically living on pesto we had so much of it. So get get those green thumbs working and kick start your garden now.

Gravitas Education Holdings, Inc. stock is down -1.04% since 30 days ago. The next earnings date is Nov 14, 2023. The company has had below-average volume in the last 30 days. Its seasonality going into this month shows a chance of a red month, as 0% of the previous 6 December’s closed higher than November.
RYB Education, Inc. provides early childhood education service in the People's Republic of China. As of December 31, 2020, it operated 98 directly operated and 246 franchise kindergartens; and 5 play-and-learn centers. The company was formerly known as Top Margin Limited.


Plans to transform Cardiff Central railway station will today receive a £100m funding boost.
The station desperately needs upgrading and investment to cope with growing passenger numbers.
Those numbers are expected to continue to grow with the electrification of the Valley Lines into Cardiff and the next Wales & Borders franchise providing greater capacity and more frequency of service.
As a key transport hub into Wales and from the Valleys into Cardiff, passenger numbers are expected to nearly double to 22m by 2023.
The regeneration of Cardiff Central will be the second project backed by the £1.2bn City Deal for the Cardiff Capital Region.
Its regional cabinet — made up of the city region’s ten local authority leaders — agreed in principle today to support £40m of funding towards the redevelopment of station.
When factoring in ten of millions of pounds in private sector developer investment towards a station redevelopment project – like funding for a required new multi-storey car park immediately south of it — and backing from the Welsh Government, a £100m Welsh-sourced funding pot has been assembled.
The regeneration of the station was first discussed by Network Rail back in 2014.
As a non-devolved funding matter it was expected that Network Rail would provide financial backing towards the redevelopment of the Victorian built station, as it has done at other UK stations including Reading and New Street in Birmingham.
However, having overspent and overrun on a string of major projects, it no longer has its own borrowing facilities and is on a tight spending rein from the Department for Transport.
Last year it was confirmed that the UK Government was ditching plans to electrify the Great Western Mainline from Paddington as far west as Swansea.
Discussions with UK Government have been continuing.
Leveraging City Deal backing, alongside Welsh Government and developer support, means that Network Rail and the UK Government’s Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, should move swiftly to confirming their financial commitment.
Discussions are continuing with the UK Government with a view to securing significant match funding for a project which could take a total funding package to just under £200m.
Developments in and around the station are expected to be taken forward by Cardiff-based property development firm Rightacres, which is behind the proposed Central Quay scheme immediately south of station — which also covers the existing Brains brewery site.
Central Quay is a long term project to create new office, residential and leisure space at the site.
The Welsh Government could potentially provide its contribution, possibly in the region of £20m, from an investment sale of the Interchange development, that will house a new bus station, office space and private residential units with a link to a redeveloped Cardiff Central.
The transport scheme is being called Metro Central, which also includes the new bus station at the adjoining Interchange scheme.
This could see:
A new Metro station for light rail services to Cardiff Bay south of the station
An extension of the existing platform 0 to accommodate more and larger trains, including those between London and south Wales.
A dedicated coach station located south of the station.
A new cycle hub for 1,000 bikes.
Last month a funding deal for the Interchange project at the Central Square regeneration scheme was confirmed, and where work is now under way, through a special purpose vehicle made up of Cardiff council, Rightacres and the Welsh Government.
In a policy paper for Philip Hammond’s Autumn Budget, delivered last November, it said: “The Department for Transport continues to develop proposals for a number of potential rail schemes within Wales. This includes station improvements at Cardiff Central Station.
Sign off on the £40m funding for the project is expected next month which ratification of a business plan for the City Deal, which will outline projects that will be taken forward.
The first City Deal project, of which £734m, has been ringfenced for the next phase of the Metro with electrification of the Valley lines, was nearly £40m of backing to support the development of the world’s first compound semiconducter cluster in south east Wales.

Underneath this course of, the decision-making energy nonetheless rests with every particular person debenture holder. implied,” the Division mentioned in its order. “Each debenture holder shall have the suitable to vote… This mechanism is, in our opinion, truthful, simply, equitable and conserving in view the pursuits of all stakeholders.”
Lenders of RCFL have already authorised the decision plan by Autum on fifteenth July 2021. RCFL owes collectors over ₹9,000 crore and Authum has provided ₹1,240 crore which implies an 86% write-off for collectors.
Bondholders maintain over 90% of the debt in RCFL, and most of it’s with banks and monetary establishments. Following the order of the Single Choose Bench on December 8, over 75% of the mortgage holders who voted supported the plan, ET reported. Nevertheless, the vote has not been made public.
The most recent bench order might expedite the decision. Nevertheless, the courtroom has stayed the operation of the order until March 28, conserving the door open to problem the SEBI’s determination within the Supreme Courtroom.
“The order has now expired, however we must see what occurs by March 28. Most certainly, SEBI will strategy the Supreme Courtroom because the apex courtroom feels that permitting solely a fractional variety of bondholders to vote It’s in opposition to their laid down procedures. These are all technical. However in the end it has led to a whole lot of delay in decision,” mentioned an individual concerned within the course of.
Financial institution of Baroda is the main lender for the transaction.
Sebi, the regulator for bondholders, had sought a keep in October 2021 after a single-judge bench of the Excessive Courtroom dominated that voting may be accomplished on the premise of belief deed signed by bondholders. Solely 75% of bondholders are anticipated to vote within the deed signed as per Reserve Financial institution of India (RBI) tips, however SEBI rule says all of them should take part.
The matter is taking the type of a tussle between the 2 regulators. Lenders ruled by RBI comply with its process which doesn’t require all bondholders to vote. Nevertheless, SEBI has mentioned that bond trustees, who come below its purview, ought to act as per the norms of the regulator.

The SuperTurbo is a fully mechanical driven turbocharger that provides the benefits of supercharging, turbocharging and turbo-compounding in one device. The SuperTurbo includes a high-speed traction drive that transfers bi-directional torque between the turbine shaft and a continuously variable transmission which then allows for overall ratio control between the turbo and the crankshaft. Since the turbine shaft speed is controlled, concerns with overspeed or lag are eliminated allowing for heavier higher efficient turbine designs. Driven turbochargers provide the ability to precisely control and balance boost pressure and air fuel ratio. The controls can be used to optimize fuel efficiency and emissions per the OEM's objectives at different operating points.
The SuperTurbo continues to demonstrate many valuable direct and enabling benefits for emission reduction and improved productivity. The ability to optimize air fuel ratio and eliminate over-fueling through transients has been shown to provide up to 10% of fuel efficiency improvement and CO2 reduction. SuperTurbos outfitted with a programmable turbine bypass can direct the engine exhaust to the aftertreatment for a rapid light off to minimize harmful NOx emissions during cold start while still maintaining vehicle drivability. SuperTurbo Technologies has completed several rounds of Should Cost studies with FEV to validate the costs and economics of the many different value propositions the SuperTurbo can provide.


If you have an antenna with calibration data, chances are it includes a number of columns of data. One column should be the frequency being tested. The others can include free-range performance, gain, and more.
Here is an example of antenna correction data from a German antenna manufacturer:
The most useful entry is the AF, or antenna factor data. This data has positive values and typically has units of dB/m (decibels per meter) and can be directly entered into a spectrum analyzers correction table. This data mathematically corrects the incoming data and “removes” the antenna characteristics from the measurement.

Physics is one of New College’s shining specializations. Students and faculty in the program have garnered national attention for their groundbreaking collaborations and industry research. And now, New College has added another physics-specific accolade to its credit.
Last week, the Society of Physics Students (SPS) National Office named New College a 2019-2020 Outstanding SPS Chapter for the second year in a row. This designation recognized New College for its excellence as a top-tier student-led physical sciences organization—an honor given to fewer than 10 percent of all SPS chapters at colleges and universities in the United States and internationally.
“This is the highest level of distinction given to our chapters, and is received by less than 15 percent of our top chapters annually (with just 96 of 844 chapters so honored this year),” said Brad R. Conrad, Ph.D., the director of the SPS, an organization that falls under the umbrella of the American Institute of Physics (AIP). “We are consistently amazed each year at how much time, energy and effort everyone devotes to their departments and local communities.”
The SPS is a professional association designed for students, and membership is open to anyone interested in physics and related fields. Chapters are evaluated on their level of interaction with the campus community, the professional physics community, the public, and SPS national programs. The Outstanding Chapter Award recognizes high levels of outreach, as well as unique approaches to fulfilling the mission of the SPS to “help students transform themselves into contributing members of the professional community.”
The SPS chapter at New College is advised by Professor of Physics Don Colladay, Ph.D. He is joined Natural Sciences division in the physics area of concentration (AOC) at New College with Professor of Physics Mariana Sendova, Ph.D., and Professor of Physics and Astronomy George Ruppeiner, Ph.D. Alexandru Sturzu, a third-year physics and mathematics student, is New College’s SPS chapter president.
“The SPS award recognizes the efforts put forth by the officers and members of the club over the past year, as well as the great guidance provided by our club sponsor, Professor Colladay,” said Sturzu, who is a third-year physics and mathematics student. “Since our club’s inception, Matt Mancini, Sarah Gonzalez and I have worked tirelessly at reaching out and offering unique opportunities to students through our club. The members that have become officers since then (Alex Hinton and Madeleine Kienzle) have filled in the shoes of Matt and Sarah, who graduated last year.”
Together, the students have been able to build New College’s SPS chapter into the success it is today. They have raised funds to heavily supplement a group excursion to PhysCon 2019; organized talks with alumni for biweekly meetings; conducted outreach to local high schools; established the New College chapter of the SPS Physics Honor Society Sigma Pi Sigma; orchestrated a banquet to host the SPS national president for the inaugural Sigma Pi Sigma induction ceremony; and provided avenues for students to participate in theoretical and experimental physics research.
“On a club level, this award is meaningful to us because it serves as tangible proof that the actions that club members and officers are taking to provide opportunities and resources for people interested in physics are not only successful—but so much so that they are being nationally recognized,” Sturzu said. “As you can imagine, some of these undertakings have been incredibly time- and energy-consuming. So, to see that our successes have caught the attention of the national organization has provided us with a powerful motivating factor.”
Because of the recognition the students received last year, they were especially motivated to tackle some of the larger-scale projects that led to winning the award again this year. And, while COVID-19 put a damper on their expectations for what could be accomplished this year, the repeated recognition reinvigorated the students’ drive to create avenues for increasing interest in the field of physics.
“On a school-wide level, I believe this national award is meaningful for two primary reasons: The first is the point of pride this award brings to New College students. It shows that, while our school may be small, we pack a hefty punch and can achieve things that students at larger and perhaps more well-funded schools can achieve,” Sturzu said. “Secondly, I believe that this award reinforces a self-perception that New College students have about themselves—that we are community builders and local actors. We provide tangible improvements to those around us and work to ensure that others can achieve success.”
Students who specialize in physics at New College have access to top-notch facilities that are rarely available at other leading liberal arts colleges. For instance, the Optical Spectroscopy and Nanomaterials Lab opened in January 2012 with a $1.7-million grant from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, making New College the first and only undergraduate liberal arts college in the nation to offer such a lab.
The physics program is designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in the central areas of physics through courses and tutorials in theoretical, experimental and computational physics. Students conducting research in the laboratory use state-of-the-art equipment such as an atomic force microscope, a micro-Raman spectrometer, an X-ray diffractometer, an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, a micro-spectrophotometer, and a Q switched Nd:YAG laser with second and fourth harmonic emission.
“The SPS chapter at New College has been spearheaded by our enthusiastic students over the past couple of years. They have worked hard to set up our local chapter and to encourage club participation for many students in all areas of natural sciences,” Colladay said. “They have been engaged in social activities promoting physics on our campus and have reached out to local high schools as well. Our students have been providing a great service to our physics program, as well as to the College in general.”
Unlike larger universities, New College is also small enough to allow for close faculty-student relationships and the kind of personalized attention most undergrads never get. With one-on-one mentoring from Sendova, for example, Matt Mancini (a 2020 graduate) went on to pursue his doctorate at Penn State University. He is now in the top-ranked National Science Foundation (NSF) research graduate program for materials science and engineering, on a Shively Weyl Endowed Research Assistantship to study in the lab of John Mauro, Ph.D.
Sendova, a respected scientist with two United States patents, gave Mancini the freedom to experiment in her lab, and worked with him to refine his insights. The two wrote a half dozen papers together, and Matt earned his bachelor’s degree in physics with more publications than a Ph.D. student (a record-breaking achievement).
Now Sendova and Mancini’s paper, Direct Surface Area Measurement from Digital Images via Brightness Histogram Method (published in July in the peer-reviewed journal Measurement Science and Technology), is on the patent track. Their findings will be extremely helpful for scientists studying climate change.
Collaborations like these exemplify the uniqueness of the physics program at New College.
Adding to the excitement of the recent SPS accomplishment, the chapter award came during a week when New College’s innovative dual-degree program with the University of Florida (UF) was given the official go-ahead to begin. This offering will help students interested in STEM fields (physics included) greatly expand their academic pursuits.
For more than a year, leaders at New College and UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering had worked on designing this curriculum to allow students to earn two degrees in five years. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) just approved the program, and it will be available in the spring, as originally planned. Students will be able to work toward a liberal arts and sciences bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree from New College in a science major, and a bachelor of science (B.S.) degree from UF in an engineering major.
“We are hopeful that an engineering option will be a considerable attraction for incoming students who are interested in science in general,” Colladay said of the program. “Often, students who are interested in technical STEM areas have a strong desire to have an engineering option available.”
And, as this program progresses, so will the award-winning SPS chapter at New College.
“To have your group named an outstanding chapter is a testament to your leadership skills and your ability to foster leadership among your students,” Conrad said upon congratulating Colladay an New College. “You and your students have earned this moment of recognition. Your combined efforts supported the department, helped further student development and strengthened the community.”

RSF reindeer strike fury
CHRISTMAS is a time for fun and frolics for children all over the world and nowhere is this more evident than in the latest press release from the tiny party styling itself ‘Republican Sinn Féin’.
A bit like the relatives you’ve fallen out with, not just at Christmas but for many years, we tend to generally ignore our estranged, one-time cousins in RSF but this seasonal offering by Limerick Northside RSF election candidate Mick ‘The Quill’ Ryan from Ballynanty is a Christmas cracker.
Headlined Reindeer Strike Adverts Hit Children, Mick The Quill pens a bitter broadside against mobile phone company Meteor for using pantomime reindeer in its TV ads.
The Quill is all aquiver because, he says, “multinational companies are sowing seeds of doubt in the minds of young children over the arrival of Santa”.
I’ll let Mick The Quill take up this sad Christmas tale in his own words.
“The fact that companies like a huge mobile phone firm can use advertising that features the reindeers talking about going on strike is in bad taste and affects the views of children.”
No laughing gnomes in Ballynanty RSF this yuletide, Santa.
“We have had complaints from parents who say that their children are concerned about a reindeer strike and the fact that Santa depends on the reindeers to deliver the Christmas presents.
“While an adult can appreciate the point being made by the advertising [thank god the unions aren’t being blamed for this one], young children do not have the same perspective and tend to repeat what they see and hear.”
Not like RSF, eh, Mick? Ho, ho, ho.
Brits tortured Obama’s grand-dad
WHEN new US President Barack Obama takes his Christmas phone call from Buckingham House or 10 Downing Street it will be a somewhat more cordial contact with British rulers than his paternal grandfather had back in Kenya during the freedom struggle known as the ‘Mau-Mau Uprising’.
Barack’s grand-dad was tortured to make him inform on guerrillas (or in Guantanamo-speak: he was a ‘terrorist suspect’ or had knowledge of such). In fact, he was an intelligence officer working for the so-called ‘terrorists’.
Hussein Onyango Obama spent two years in a high-security prison near Nairobi, Sarah Onyango, Obama’s step-grandmother and his grandfather’s third wife, has revealed. (She’s the woman Obama calls ‘Granny Sarah’.)
“He said they would sometimes squeeze his testicles with parallel metallic rods,” Sarah Onyango said in The Times newspaper. “They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together with his head facing down.”
Obama’s grandfather became involved with the Kenyan uprising while he worked as a cook for a British Army officer before being arrested in 1949.
“His job as cook to a British Army officer made him a useful informer for [the rebellion],” Granny Sarah (87) said.
Obama’s grandfather was taken to a maximum-security prison outside of Nairobi.
“The African warders were instructed by the white soldiers to whip him every morning and evening until he confessed,” Sarah said. The torture left Obama’s grandfather permanently scarred.
“That was the time we realised that the British were actually not friends but, instead, enemies,” said the granny of the new president of the USA.
Tory tout out
THE good citizens of Croydon are reeling from the resignation of their council’s education chief after she was outed last week as allegedly being a member of the IRA almost 40 years ago.
What made the story even more bizarre is that Maria Gartland (nee McGuire) has been a senior Conservative Party local government official for decades – until she was exposed by a British Communist Party activist hacked off at Tory school plans.
Gartland stood down as supporters claimed that her past means nothing now and, indeed, is a badge of pride. So why did she keep it from her Tory colleagues until she was forced to resign?
YOU might not expect a hardened republican columnist with more than 25 years’ service to admit this, but I can relate to some of what Maria McGuire/Gartland has told reporters:
“I was very concerned about what was happening to my country and believed joining the IRA was the way to do something about it.”
And you were right, Maria. Spot on.
“I was young, I was pretty and I was more of a publicity thing for them.”
Tom Hartley and I know just how you feel.
Deep-cover council chief
IF nothing else, you have to give Ms McGuire some credit for her ingenuity in reinventing herself as a not insignificant Conservative Party local government figure even though she was (according to her own publicity) under sentence of death from the IRA.
“As disguises go,” David Sharrock wrote in The Times of London, “it must rank as one of the most improbable.
“Not even the finest brains among the Provisional IRA, told to hunt down traitors, could have guessed that their quarry would go undercover and construct a new life as a Tory politician. In Croydon.”
Even as Croydon Council’s education chief she managed to stay under republican radar.
If she’d fled to London’s more upmarket suburbs, like Seán ‘Lunchtime O’Booze’ O’Callaghan, though – to freeload off the Tory Party cocktail circuit in between picking up strange men in pubs and taking them back to his patron Ruth Dudley Edwards’s pad where they beat him up and robbed the place – then Ms Maguire would have been so much easier to find... if anyone was bothered.
Would she have been that hard to find?

TEMECULA, Calif., July 8, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Doffo Winery, the Temecula Valley Southern California winery known for its premium wines, on-site vintage motorcycle collection, and unique wine experiences, today announced a new campaign aimed at encouraging wine lovers to pop the special bottles they have been holding on to. On July 12, in anticipation of its fifth-annual cellar sale on July 24, Doffo will kick off the #TheWineIsNow program, featuring several activations through social media and on-site at the winery.
"So often, we see people purchase special bottles to save for 'the right occasion,' only to have them not ever decide on that right occasion, and maybe even hold on to the bottle past its prime," said Doffo CEO and winemaker Damian Doffo. "I always tell customers that the wine itself is the special occasion. We came up with #TheWineIsNow to encourage people to reach for that bottle of Doffo wine that they have been saving and open it to celebrate living in the moment and creating your own special occasions every day — especially after everything we've all been through over the past 18 months."
The two-week #TheWineIsNow program will feature a social media campaign and contest that invites wine lovers to post photos and videos of themselves opening the bottle of Doffo wine that they have been saving and share the story of when they bought it and what they are choosing to celebrate as they enjoy it. The Doffo family will select their favorite story and the winner will receive a Doffo Winery gift card. Select participants will also be featured in ongoing Doffo content throughout the month.
The program will culminate in a live virtual tasting of current and library wines with Damian and Marcelo Doffo on July 23 and the cellar sale itself on July 24, in which the winery will make a selection of rare, unique, and final inventory wines available to the public for one day only.
For more information about Doffo Winery or the annual cellar sale, please visit https://www.doffowines.com/.

This is Part 6 in a multi-post series on the topics of Participatory Media and Consumer Generated Content.
• • •
You hear, as one might expect, dismissals and criticisms of social media and "amateur" content by professionals that work within the traditional media establsihment. The 3 biggest are:
1. Amateur content just can't compete with professional.
2. People will always prefer slick, professionally produced content.
3. Amateurs may be capable of one-off hits, but the entertainment industry "machine" is necessary to produced serialized, quality content on a regular basis.
The terms amateur and professional are becoming less and less meaningful for me. This seems to be another instance where, beyond describing content that has been monetized and is expected to make money, "professional" means very little. At the end of the day I don't think that people care very much if a huge industry act or a kid in his basement made a song they are listening to. It's either a good song or it's not.
The place a piece of content occupies within the shared cultural experience IS an important factor. As I've described in previous posts in this series, one of primary functions of cultural content is to give us a sense of connectedness to one another, to bind us into tribes of like-minded people. A professionally produced piece of content is more likely to achieve a bigger position on the cultural radar, to have more shared value, but that is a very different issue than whether or not a piece of content had "professional", corporately backed origins.
Corporate structures used to play a very important and much needed role. The creation of content was too complex and expensive to be done without the level of organization and financing they provided. Not only is this no longer true, but I believe that in the drive to realize more and more profit they have seriously erroded their ability to function effectively as generators of content that has meaningful value.
Take a survey of the output of media companies over the last 3 years.
The movie industry is capable of producing very little that isn't based on content that has a proven track record. The big franchises are all based on remakes and classic comic characters. The movie industry used to look down its nose at television, today, old hit series are one of the biggest sources of ideas for studio movies. Even rehashed Broadway revivals are a primary source of ideas.
Broadway itself doesn't seem capable of producing much original content. One of the few show show I've enjoyed in the last 5 years was Urinetown, which originated as a Fringe Festival Piece. What can you expect from Broadway this season? The Grinch, a remake of a much loved and very old cartoon.
Televison has knuckled-up in the last couple of years but it is still primarily sitcoms of the archaic, formulaic variety and reality shows. If it were not for the example set and pressure applied from cable programming we probably would not have shows like 24 and Lost. I still can't figure out why, with so many channels showing "nothing" or re-runs why a show like "Arrested Development" would be cancelled. Can someone explain this to me?
"500 channels and nothing on" is a cliche, but it's true. In fact, a lot of what is on those channels I don't consider to be content at all, I call it the "display of data". Real estate listings, stock prices and weather information are not communicative content, it is the display of data.
I have a friend that, after purchasing a massive, flat-panael television realized that he spends most of his time "watching the wall". He explained that most of the time he is watching shows and movies that he has already seen and he might as well be staring at the wall.
This is all going to change. The means of production continue to drop and continue to get more and more sophisticated. New models of creation and distribution are begining to emerge. This really is just the begining. The truth is, the bloated corporate entities that were once relied on to produce content have become too expensive to themselves to be effective at generating content. It's no wonder, and it should be no surprise that YouTube has become so popular so quickly.
The drive to maximize profit beyond reasonable expectations has been destructive in other American industries as well. Advertising and automobile manufacturing are good examples. One of the ways that the automobile industry created efficiencies was to create shared vehicle platforms. The basic idea here is the creation of underlying parts that can be repurposed on a number of vehicles. Taken too far this has resulted in vehicles that all look the same and a lack of differentiation accross brands. Ford is no longer the #2 automaker and soon GM won't be number one.
Re-runabouts. The Ford Expedition and Mercury Navigator. Are they really that different?
In the quest to squeeze out a little bit more and a little bit more they're chocking the geese that lay the golden eggs. You can't squeeze much more than shit out of a dead goose, and that is exactly what's happening.

Police arrest day care owner in connection with 2-year-old's death in hot van
Police have arrested the owner of a day care after a child under her care died after being left in a hot van. We now know that child was a member of her own family.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An elderly daycare owner is charged with killing the 2-year-old Louisville boy who died after he was forgotten in a hot van for several hours.
Police arrested 70-year-old Jacquelin Thomas late Tuesday in connection with LaVontae Swain's death on April 18. Swain was her great nephew, and his mother says this tragedy is ripping the family apart.
Police say the elderly woman picked Swain up heading to Lil Kings and Queens Child Development Center on Terry Road. The toddler sat in the van six hours according to state reports as temperatures soared into the mid 80s.
Police say Thomas was "acting in her official capacity" as the daycare owner when the death occurred.
Now facing a manslaughter charge, this is the first time Thomas has ever been arrested. Her attorney, Keith Kamenish, says she "is not a threat to anyone in this community (and) what happened there was an accident."
Investigators say two children at Gutermuth Elementary found his limp body during after school pickups.
When asked if she wants Thomas to go to prison even though she's her aunt, LaVonte's mother, Carless Swain, was blunt.
"You know, to be honest, I do," Swain said. "I really do. I'm not going to sugar coat nothing. I want you to feel how I feel. That was your family sitting in the backseat. How can you forget about family?"
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services ordered the day care center closed indefinitely two days after Swain's death. The order states that Thomas "verbally acknowledged having forgotten the 2-year-old child" and posed an immediate risk to the health safety and welfare of children.
WDRB has learned that Lil' Kings and Queens Child Development center has a history of violations - including failing to keep proper transportation logs.
Kamenish says Thomas is cooperating with police in the investigation.
"We've cooperated with police, providing samples, providing a statement," Kamenish said. "They wanted to talk with three witnesses, we provided those witnesses. They wanted surveillance equipment for the day care - we got them into that storage."
Kamenish entered a not guilty plea for Thomas at her arraignment. Her bond was also lowered to $10,000 cash. If Thomas does bond out of jail, she has been ordered not to drive.
Legal expert Leland Hulbert, a former prosecutor for the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, say it's possible for Thomas to avoid prison.
"These cases are difficult for jurors to just walk in and rubber stamp a conviction based on what the defendant has to live with," Hulbert said.
If Thomas is convicted, she could also be eligible for probation.
"You get what you get," Swain said. "My baby is still gone. That is something I have to live with for the rest of my life."
LaVontae Swain was laid to rest Monday.

Debt Collection Just Hit Record Levels
By Jessica Easto
As US household debt hits record levels, debt collection appears to be on the rise as well. Although data on debt collection is not gathered at the national level, there are several other indicators that signal to experts that debt collection is back in business—and that the business is often suspect.
Some cities and states have reported that debt-collection lawsuits have spiked in their courts, including New York and Philadelphia. “Our courts are inundated,” said attorney Laura Smith, who works for Community Legal Services of Philadelphia. She said that collection filings at the Philadelphia Municipal Court doubled between 2016 and 2018—to almost 16,200 cases.
Other localities have seen similar increases. Debt-collections filings at New York City Civil Court have increased from just shy of 47,000 in 2016 to more than 100,000 in 2018. In Texas, filings were up 29 percent in fiscal year 2018 and up 141 percent over the last five years. Delaware consumer-debt filings rose 56 percent.
Big publicly traded debt-collection companies have released data that show collectors are purchasing debt at an increased rate, and many debt buyers have returned to the market this year after a leave of absence. Two of these companies bought and collected a record amount of debt last year. One company’s debt purchases in the United States increased 20 percent and the other’s 23 percent, while their collections increased 11 percent and 9.8 percent respectively.
When debt buyers purchase debt, they usually do so in large bundles, which discount prices to “a few pennies on the dollar.” Then they pursue debtors, demanding the full face-value of the debt with interest. Consumer advocates have reported that “aggressive” debt collection tactics are on the rise, including the pursuit of years-old debt, also called “zombie debt.” These advocates are worried that aggressive debt collections disproportionately affects vulnerable groups, such as low-income individuals and the elderly, while putting even more pressure on an already overstressed legal system.
According to the Federal Reserve, in the first quarter of 2019, US household debt hit a record high—$13.67 trillion—after 19 straight quarters of increasing. The default rates for auto loans, student loans, and credit cards are also up.
But why is debt collection increasing now?
Some point to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The previous administration sought to decrease the level of debt collection, but the current administration has relaxed rules and is seeking to rework a key debt-collection policy.
Many debt-collection claims end in what’s known as “default judgments”, because defendants don’t show up in court, don’t show up with a lawyer to challenge questionable claims, and in some cases, don’t even know they are being sued. Because the defendant failed to take action, a judge can make a ruling, which is usually in favor of the plaintiff (in this case the debt collectors) when the defendant fails to take an action.
Many of these claims involve alleged debts that are decades old—most states allow debt collectors to win judgments with interest for 20 years. That’s much longer than creditors are able to sue borrowers, which is usually just four to six years. These default judgments also allow debt collectors to garnish wages and property.

Willimantic, Conn – On Nov. 5, Maryam Elahi, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut, came to Eastern Connecticut State University to discuss human rights to Eastern students.
“I do think there is a light at the end of the tunnel,” said Elahi, as she discussed the importance of getting involved in human rights groups. She encouraged students to get involved in groups that are focused on human rights, women’s rights, child labor and other issues that the world continues to face daily. Elahi also emphasized the importance of taking advantage of our right to vote. “People have fought and died for your right to vote – don’t take it lightly,” she said.
Elahi described her career path, including groups she has worked with during her college days and since. “All I ask is that you get involved. There mere fact that you are involved does make a change,” said Elahi.

I was going to smoke some ribs in my smoker this week but mother nature had other plans, so I did them in the crockpot instead, and man oh man they did not disappoint. The first thing I did was make a dry rub for them, and rubbed them and let that rub sit on them for 2 hours before I put them in the crockpot.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1t granulated garlic
- 2T chopped onion
- 2T kosher salt
- 2t dry mustard
- 1t freshly ground black pepper
- 1t paprika
- Pinch crushed red pepper.
Mix together and make sure you rub all over your ribs
I bought a cut slab of baby back ribs because they were on a great sale.
1pound of them, I rubbed the ribs all over them, and put them in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the rub really penetrate the meat.
Took my crockpot and covered the bottom of the pot with orange juice, 1 inch high, your favorite kind will work fine. Then I took the ribs and put them in the crockpot and cooked them on high for 4-5 hours.
When they were done I put them on a broiler pan and slathered them with bbq sauce, yes I cheated I used Sonny hickory smoke flavor, and put them under the broiler until that sauce all was nice and caramelized on them bad boys.
Oh my goodness they were so tender, it didn’t turn out so bad that mother nature was against me that day because dinner turned out great. I served that up with some homemade coleslaw and some souped up box mix of cornbread.
- 1/2 head of green cabbage finely shredded
- 1 carrot peeled and shredded
- Red cabbage, if you have some sure shred it and add it if not don’t worry about it
Now this is where I vary my recipe the most, grated onion, I will grate 1/4 of a onion over cabbage, so I get the juice on there as well, if you don’t like or don’t want the onion don’t add it not a problem. Mix all this up, Make your dressing and pour it over it and let it sit at least 1 hour before serving. If you do not want to make the dressing don’t the store bought ones are very good.
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup powder sugar
- 1 capfull of vinegar, I used white, but you can use Apple cider or rice wine if you want, I would not use red wine in this recipe, it will change the color and the taste a lot.
- 1t celery seed
Mix all in a bowl and pour over your coleslaw, letting it marinate for 2 hours before serving. My family likes more of a wet coleslaw some like a drier kind if you find that it is too wet, just drain some of the dressing off.
The cornbread. I bought a box of honey cornbread mix and followed the directions, but I added :1 cup frozen whole kernal corn
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-2 T. Hot pepper sauce
Mixed well and poured it into a well sprayed 9×9 pan and baked it in a 350 oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle came out clean. While it was still warm I brushed it with honey butter. ( melted butter about 1/4 cup with 1T honey) let it set until cool and then cut it in squares and served it.
No matter what the weather is like outside if you are willing to change up your cooking method a little you can still serve up great BBQ food. Enjoy everyone, as well as the rest of your summer which has just gone to fast. The next article will be about back to school lunches and a couple of quick breakfast meals as our children get ready to go back. As always I am here if you have any questions.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and accountable care organizations (ACOs) are in the midst of a back and forth over the federal agency’s effort to push more ACOs into two-sided risk, Healthcare Informatics reports.
According to Healthcare Informatics Managing Editor Rajiv Leventhal, CMS is looking for increased involvement in two-sided risk to lift the weight off Medicare when ACOs spend past their financial benchmarks.
“One option, per CMS’ proposal, would be the BASIC track, which would allow eligible ACOs to begin under a one-sided model and incrementally phase-in higher levels of risk,” Leventhal ,said. “The second option would be the ENHANCED track, which is based on the program’s existing Track 3, providing additional tools and flexibility for ACOs that take on the highest level of risk and potential rewards.”
The National Association of ACOs president and CEO, Clifton Gaus, says the reduction in potential shared savings would be detrimental to the growth of new organizations.
