The Digital Infrastructure department's 'Geo-team' would like to invite you to a public talk by Dr. Karl Grossner (World History Center, University of Pittsburgh) on the World Historical Gazetteer (WHG) platform (https://whgazetteer.org). The talk will be held on Tuesday, 13 September between 12:30-14.00 in Room 2.18 of the KNAW Humanities Cluster, Oudezijds Achterburgwal 185, 1012 DK Amsterdam. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for further, informal discussion with Dr. Grossner alongside a light catered lunch. Please register online for the event and free lunch via the online form
During his talk, Dr. Grossner will demonstrate the main features and tools of the WHG, with a particular focus on the WHG "Dutch Global History" dataset collection now in development by Dr. Rombert Stapel (IISG). The WHG project was initiated in 2017 under a 3-year grant from the US National Endowment of the Humanities, and has since been in continual development with support from several sources, including the KNAW Humanities Cluster. The WHG aggregates contributions of place data drawn from historical sources by researchers from numerous fields in the humanities and social sciences and provides record-level access to them as dataset publications and as Linked Open Data via its web site and an application programming interface (API). The system presently holds records for c. 1.8 million places with roughly 5 million name variants, and there is a long queue of additional, prospective contributions in preparation at various stages of the accessioning pipeline. This growing data store will be invaluable for research and teaching activities that involve the annotation and georeferencing of textual and tabular sources, mapping, and spatial analysis.
If you have any questions about the event, please contact Thomas Vermaut (HuC-DI) thomas.vermaut [at] di.huc.knaw.nl.

Hapoel Jerusalem can move to the brink of qualification for the Eurocup last 16 with a victory over KK Zadar in Croatia on Tuesday.
Guy Goodes's men claimed an impressive 93-74 win over the Croats at Malha Arena last week and the coach is hoping for another dominating performance to close in on a toptwo finish in Group C.
"Everyone understands that this will be a very difficult game," Goodes said. "The players realize that this is a cup final. There is no room for mistakes in this competition.
"Everyone will need to give their all from the start. It is going to be a different story on their home court. We will be playing much more physically, it will be completely different."
Hapoel all but clinched last week's victory by the break, leading 52-32 at halftime. Nevertheless, Yuval Naimi, who scored just three points in 14 minutes at Malha, has no doubt that Tuesday's encounter will be far tougher.
"We are in good shape after three consecutive wins in the Eurocup and the league," he said.
"We are going to play as a group. We will win as a team or lose as a team. I am feeling more experienced with each game and I am sure the other players feel the same way. Zadar is a great team and it will be harder than it was in the last game, but we believe in ourselves and our abilities."
Despite last week's poor performance in Jerusalem, Zadar will be entering Tuesday's game in a confident mood after its 89-83 victory over Red Star Belgrade in the Adriatic League on Saturday.
"The 19-point difference from the first game did not reflect the reality of the encounter in my opinion," said Zadar's Vladimer Boisa, who led his team with 17 points in Malha.
"I think Hapoel is not that much better than us. We will have to make an effort to play better than in Jerusalem. If we commit fewer mistakes, I think we can claim the home win."

ESAT News (January 20, 2016)
Ethiopian orthodox Christians celebrating Timket (Epiphany) used the occasion to denounce human rights violations in their country and the brutal killing of protesters in the Oromia region.
The Orthodox Christians who came from various ethnic groups seized the opportunity of the Epiphany processions to condemn the brutal regime for killing over 150 peaceful protesters in the Oromia region in the past two months of persistent protest against the minority government. The protesters chanted slogans and sang patriotic songs encouraging Ethiopians to rise against tyranny and fight for their democratic rights.
Residents of Addis Ababa who planned to come out to the epiphany procession wearing black clothes as assign of mourning were threatened not to do so by government security forces. The tyrannical government had also trained its party members for one week to spy and identify those who would protest at the holiday procession.
The Western Hararghe town of Meisso, the center of the ongoing protest in the Oromia region in the last few days, had also turned the occasion into a protest rally against years of marginalization and oppression of the people of Oromo by the oligarchic government.

Featured Artwork: "A Nap on the Feed Sacks", 1994
Three years after my big studio re-do I'm still finding artwork I'd done years ago and forgotten about, though not all of these forgotten masterpieces have been found in their originals. As part of consolidating my artwork and art materials I also consolidated 30 years of photographs. I've been surprised at what I've found, forgetting the photos I'd taken of foster cats from the early years and photos of my own feline family in everyday poses. I can get back to some of the paintings I'd planned now that I've found the photos I thought I'd imagined taking!
I've also photographed, and later scanned, every piece of artwork I've done to document it, though not all reproductions are of a quality for reproduction, or any quality at all, especially in this era when I was photographing my paintings in the frame with glass…sigh. I didn't always get film developed right away, and had no idea how bad some of the photos were. Plus, through the glass? I had wanted to document the frame and mats, it seemed like a good idea at the time. And then I sold many of those little paintings, and donated them to auctions and such, so I have no idea where they've gone and can't reproduce them.
This one, however is pretty clear and balanced, considering it's 4″ x 6″ and I held it at an angle from my camera so the flash wouldn't reflect off the glass! It's darkened from left to right with a shadow on the right side, but that's okay. It's nice to remember how I studied the photo and planned the colors and techniques with my beginner's understanding of watercolor after years of working in pencil and pastel. This was when I worked out layering colors in watercolor, and I remember working out the layers and tones for the stripes in the kitty, and how to show some detail in the black kitten. I also especially proud of the background since the colors and strokes I used aren't represented in the photo as are the stripes and the shadows in the plant and the feed bags. Still, today, pleased with what I accomplished so long ago. Still want to go up to my studio and do it again when I see a photo that inspires me.
Twenty years ago when I was still experimenting with other media than pencil and pastel, with which I felt most confident, I began doing small paintings instead of the larger ones that were more detailed and took more time. A friend I worked with grew up on and still lives on the family farm—the one I'd visited in the splendor of that autumn when I'd been looking for painting subjects other than cats. She was also a skilled photographer and shared many of her prints. I painted "A Nap on the Feed Sacks" in 1994 from a photo she took on her farm.
Cuddled together for comfort, these kittens live on a farm owned by a friend of mine. She passed the picture on to me because she thought I'd like it, which I did immediately. The scene was so simple and quiet that I decided to render it as a quick study, without too much detail, so that I wouldn't overwork the subjects.
That's what I had to say about it when I added it to my portfolio book in 1994. I sold it shortly after I painted it to someone who purchased a half dozen small works to auction off for a rescue benefit. Below is the photo she gave me. Even after all these years of finding and rescuing kittens, this little kitten pile is still the most typical, and even a typical range of colors and patterns—a dark tabby, an orange tabby and a black kitty. The only flavor missing is a tortie.
And last night when I was searching for an image to use to illustrate my rescue story it suddenly seemed like the best image to use, so I pulled it out and scanned it, and I'm happy to share it here. I'll have a few more to feature soon.
. . . . . . .
I've been whining softly to myself as my studio computer has fallen fully into dementia; most days I can still get programs to run and I can still pull data from it, but it refuses to connect to the internet or any peripherals, including the higher quality scanner and printer I have up there. It's been seriously hampering production in my studio since I typically have digital images on my computer screen along with prints and printouts of digital images sent to me for portraits. I also make my own prints for my handmade goods for keepsake boxes and wood-mounted art but I'm not able to right now. I had also designed all my new printed materials on that computer, such as greeting cards, calendars and even things like my art papers, something I can also do at the downstairs computer, but I also enjoyed the break of being able to just work in a different space for a few hours each day. And I scanned my daily sketches and smaller illustrations and paintings with that scanner/printer and the quality is important so that I am sure I record my work accurately. The downstairs all-in-one is nowhere near the quality for prints or scans, and the upstairs one doesn't have a fax, so I can't move it down here, there's just no space…and neither of them is wireless. I have to wait until I can afford another computer for the studio, and I hope that's soon! In the meantime, everything is moving far more slowly than usual, including the commissioned portraits I have waiting.
Thanks for listening!

The founder and Tron CEO, Justin Sun, recently announced that the Tron Network reached a major milestone as it passed 6 million registered addresses. This increase in the number of addresses follows the increase in the number of dApps built on the network which also reached 768 in total last week.
As a decentralized blockchain network founded by Justin Sun, the Tron Network reached a new milestone and registered a significant increase in use this year, despite the fact that its market cap has been declining.
#TRON reached 6 million addresses today! #TRX $TRX pic.twitter.com/tIQRTPd5dw
— Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) May 29, 2020
Justin Sun noted that the Tron Network surpassed 6 million addresses and his Twitter post went viral in the blockchain news. The growth in the number of new addresses in the past 14 days was steady and averaged around 10,000 per day.
The data from the blockchain tracker Tronscan also shows that as Tron Network reached 6 million, there have been 13 million transactions on the main chain and the Sun Network on May 28, which is a steep increase from the 1 million transactions which were processed on the network on May 27.
The fact that this account growth is not mirrored in the price of TRX in the Tron news indicates that this might have been a result of an increasing number of decentralized applications (dApps) that were built on the network.
The DApp Weekly Report shows that there are currently 768 dApps on the network, with the growth of platforms, games and services built on the network being stable for the past week.
According to @dapp_review, the number of #TRON #Dapps reached 768 with 5 new #Dapps and signaling a stable development. #TRON's #Dapp ecosystem is growing at a steady pace. We welcome more users and developers to join us. #TRX $TRXhttps://t.co/01ldyPGokL
— Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) May 29, 2020
The report also showed that from May 23 to May 29, there were around 518,000 transactions processed on the dApps based on the network, with more than $4.1 million traded. We can also see that the majority of dApps on the Tron network were gambling and other high-risk categories, while exchanges made up the smallest portion of the dApps that are built on the platform.
In the end, Tron CEO's company has been on an acquisition spree after acquiring BitTorrent, Steemit and Poloniex. It is also now trying to capture the stablecoin market by hosting Tether (USDT) on the blockchain and launching its own stablecoin named USDJ.
Meanwhile, the price of Tron (TRX) on the market today is at $0.0154 with a 2.16% increase.

April 7, 2008
In the past seventeen years I have been abroad - reaching Mangalore has always been by air. The take off, the landing, the flying pockets, the turbulence and all that which made up the adventure at forty-thousand feet above the ground level was breathtaking! Finally, the time had come for a change – a change to take a different mode of transport and have a different sort of experience while travelling to Mangalore. So, we decided to take the road. Yes, the ROAD… Shocked! Read on to find out how?
It was the end of the Strawberry season. We had lots of fun plucking, picking, eating and savouring those fresh Strawberries in a suburb called Red Hill in Mornington Peninsula. We were just returning home parking our car in the garage and were just about to enter the house from the rear door when our elder daughter Fay of seven years happened to ask me as usual: Daddy, where are we going to, the next weekend? Normally, whenever she used to ask me this question, I would just flutter saying: Let us see or why don't you ask mummy, she may have some plans? This time I paused and said - How about going to Mangalore? Mangalore … there was a surprise look on her face as she asked me again thinking what she heard was not exactly what I said. Yes … Mangalore, but this time we will not fly in an aeroplane, but go by car. After that she went mum … I could sort of sense the picture in her mind … perhaps the car would have propellers like the helicopter and fly!
The enthusiasm in her grew as the days passed by. She was counting her days in the run-up to the following Saturday and reminding me every evening as to the number of days left for our journey, when I used to pick her up from the 'After School Care' at St. Kevin's Primary School … Six days to go to Mangalore, Five days to go, Four days … Hey! Tomorrow is the day we are off to Mangalore? Getting up early on that Saturday morning, she woke up her little sisi Jill saying – 'Enough sleeping, wake up and get dressed, we are going to Mangalore now by car.' The little one opened her eyes for a few seconds wondering what was going on, shrugged off and went back to sleep.
We packed ourselves for a day's journey and set off travelling at a steady speed of 50-60 kms/hour in the built-in areas and 80-110 kms/hour on the highways and freeways. 110 kms per hour is the maximum speed one is allowed to drive here. The weather was lovely, a cloudless sky of blue, birds making merry and the flowers that blew to the strong breeze - as we drove … and adding to the overall excitement, we recited and sometimes sung a poem about Mangalore all the way:
You are located at 12°-52'N latitude and 74°-49'E longitude…On the south-west coast of India, you are a major port and a city.Situated in the confluence of Nethravathi and Gurupura rivers,Between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, you sit very pretty.Termed by many as an 'Entry point to the Beach Country,'Nation's all-weather harbour, State's gateway, District's headquarters,Today, you are one of the fastest growing cities in the country!
Covering around 180 kms from where we had started and after over two hours of driving without a break, we entered Mangalore.
"See, we are in Mangalore," I exclaimed pointing to the white name board with black upper case alphabets to the girls sitting behind. By this time they were a bit tired, nevertheless Fay was shocked after having a glimpse of the board, having a quick look around and instantly letting out a scream 'But this Mangalore is so different.'
Yes, it was indeed different! There were no groves of coconut palms swaying around nor were there the lush green paddy fields … for that matter not even the tang of the jackfruit trees, leave alone the fragrance of the jasmines.
The oldest continent, largest island and sixth largest country by area Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, between the Indian Ocean and the Southern Pacific Ocean between 10 degrees and 40 degrees south. The Commonwealth of Australia that carries the nickname "Land Down Under" consists of six states namely New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria; two major mainland territories – Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and other minor territories.
I recall reading in 'Udayavani Kannada Daily' years ago about a postal mail intended to an addressee in our Mangalooru, landing right here in Victoria State of Australia, then taking days to be redirected. I never dreamt that one day I would be here in person.
Victoria is the smallest mainland State by area but the second biggest in population after the State of New South Wales. Melbourne, widely recognised as one of the most liveable cities in the world is its capital. Mangalore is located in Victoria in the scenic countryside of the Goulburn Valley Region just north of the Great Dividing Range that separates Mangalore from Melbourne. It is 395 kms from the Australian capital Canberra and approximately 120 kms north (one and a half hours drive from Melbourne) of metropolitan Melbourne (highlighted in yellow in the big map on the right hand side above, the core of the cluster in saffron being Melbourne), north of the Great Dividing Range and North-North East of Seymour. Mangalore of Victoria had greenery all around, characteristic of any inhabited part of Australia. Though it is categorised as a settlement/locality, there were hardly people we could see unlike the hustle and bustle of our Mangalooru.
The below pictured signboard is on the Goulburn Valley Highway (see small map above). From the Western Ring Road intersection, we entered the Hume Freeway (M31) and it took us 50 minutes to reach the Shepparton exit turning right onto the Goulburn Valley Highway (M39). We travelled along the Goulburn Valley Highway for approximately 4 kms until we arrived at this sign indicating us to take right turn to proceed to Mangalore (Mangalore highlighted in red in the small map). Mangalore Airport from this highway is further northwards, instead of taking right we need to proceed straight for another 4 kms (see small map), then take right that leads to the Aerodrome road that is 3 kms long. That's why Mangalore Airport is sometimes called as Mangalore Airport near Avenel rather than Mangalore Airport near or in Mangalore because the former is closer to Mangalore Airport than Mangalore locality.
Mangalore Real Estate
Travelling to and fro in the settlement, we had a good look at the real estate Mangalore of Victoria had to offer. One thing was sure, price wise it could have been cheaper than that of our Mangalooru where there is a real-estate boom with all the development going around. How about buying some plot here, I asked my wife?
Wherever you go in Australia, the houses are almost the same in style, design and look adhering to the Australian standards. We noticed Mangalore had a lot of empty land and very few houses. The houses in Australia are built predominantly of wood that is available in plenty with an outer layer of bricks and tiled roofs. A typical house consists of a driveway that leads to the garage (single or double) if not a car port, a front garden, a lounge, kitchen area, bedrooms, wardrobe, built in cupboards, laundry, toilets and ample space at the backyard.
Mangalore Flora & Fauna Reserve
As we drove, it led us to the direction of Mangalore Flora and Fauna Reserve. The tar road continued as no road at all.
We drove along this muddy track for a kilometre with all the sand and dust flying around and after a certain distance became impossible to have a clear look and drive ahead. So we abandoned our trip, put the reverse gear and came reversing to where we had started. The horses were all that we were able to find.
At the end of the track, we found a house and entered it to get some information from the occupants as to this Mangalore Flora and Fauna. Just as we entered the driveway, around half a dozen dogs came barking and jumping towards us that reminded me of a scene straight from a Bollywood movie. Residential houses in Australia seldom have a compound wall or a gate. So when the owners are away they normally leave their dogs if they have one. We do not find many having dogs in the suburbs surrounding the city. Well! This was away from Melbourne. We concluded, being a weekend the occupants must have gone to the city.
Mangalore Pub
History has it that two explorers Hume (the Hume Freeway is named after him) and Hovell riding on their horses with their companions would stay here for the night before proceeding on their journey onward and return. Their onward journey included Australia's commercial city Sydney that is nearly 900 kms from here. They would have their break with drinks in this Inn and give their horses the much needed rest. I gather that 'Mangalore Pub' exists even today, but inspite of our best efforts to discover it, failed to locate it … and adding to our woes, we couldn't find anyone to ask as well.
Mangalore in Karnataka has an area of 132.45 sq kms with a road length of 671.68 kms, but the Mangalore of Victoria was very small, may be less than a quarter of Corporation limits of Mangalore City. Wisely concluding that the settlement of Mangalore has nothing more to offer, we decided to travel to the nearby Mangalore Airport. We took the reverse route instead of proceeding on the Goulburn Valley Highway (pictured below) and then taking right to the Aerodrome Road.
The other roundabout way was travelling from the opposite side (pictured below). Aerodrome refers to a small airport used mainly by private planes.
You can see the road we travelled behind the white boards and from there we turned right.. for a half a kilometre drive to reach the Airport's entrance. As we entered the airport, a cool breeze blew accompanied by the chirping of the birds. The entrance of the Airport brought me back memories of our Bajpe Domestic Airport. I do not know how Bajpe Airport looks now after attaining international status. I haven't been there as yet.
Mangalore Airport Australia (MAA) is a large, well-equipped airport with dual all-weather runways for general aviation, modern navigation facilities, runways capable of handling large passenger jets and has no night curfew and operates seven days a week. It is elevated 144 metres above the sea level and was originally used as an alternate to Melbourne International Airport because of its recorded stable weather conditions. Melbourne businessman Colin Rees (the former owner of transport and logistics company CRT Group) and two Brisbane partners own Mangalore Airport.MAA provides a high standard of service, facilities and infrastructure. It has an advanced aviation-training centre, with a new professional pilot academy and two long-established flying schools. Its facilities are also available for use by recreational flyers. Customers include federal and state government departments (Department of Civil Aviation, Department of Defence, Department of Sustainability and Environment), the CFA (Country Fire Authority) and commercial organisations.
Mangalore Airport, Victoria State, AustraliaThe airport has:
Few airports in Australia combine freehold land together with broad acreage and first-class road and rail connections, enhancing the airport's suitability as a site for a major intermodal transport hub and warehousing. The zoning of the airport protects the development of aviation and other transport services, providing a significant greenfield opportunity for any manufacturing and processing industries that require quality transport links (rail and freeways A39 and M31 are adjacent to the airport) and is the major freeway network to Northern Australia.
My good friend Paul Underwood, an executive in a Multinational Company was at hand to receive me as promised. He took us to the various parts of the Airport explaining and clearing most of my doubts. Flying was Paul's favourite pastime. He has been a frequent flyer in his small aircraft for the last ten years. He hails from Camberwell, a suburb close to the city and would travel to Mangalore Airport on weekends to pursue his passion for flying. He did not know much about the settlement Mangalore, neither he had an answer to the origin of the name Mangalore. 'Sorry mate, I know nothing about it,' he said.
Paul took us a little behind the airport to show us his homebuilt BD-4 light aircraft parked in front of the hangar. Paul explained that the plane was built 30 years ago and from the last 10 years he is the proud owner. The girls were ecstatic thinking that this small aircraft was made perfect to their size. Paul obliged by seating them on the Aircraft's seats. Asked if I should give a hand in pushing the Aircraft into the hangar, Paul declined saying he would do it later himself. 'There is a particular technique to put it in, otherwise it might get damaged,' he opined.
We took a bigger stroll with Paul around the airport. The Airport looked idle because of the weekend though there was some sort of activity going around on a lower scale. Other Airports would bustle with passengers and their relatives/friends on week-ends. But here we just found a few students who had come to hone their skills and learn the finer art of flying. Hearing one of those harsh takeoffs, Paul said, 'He looks to be a complete beginner … his acceleration is too harsh.'
TrainingMAA is being developed as the focal point of an aviation cluster in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, with the central role of providing internationally competitive training for the aviation industry. As an advanced aviation training centre, MAA is the base for Civil Aviation Training Academy (CATA) and two large, well-established flying schools: Kestrel Aviation and Moorabbin Flight Training Academy (MFTA). The integrated training facilities include:
Students training at Mangalore are accommodated on the airport in modern serviced units. Recreational facilities include a tennis court and 25-metre swimming pool. Various social activities are organised throughout the year, which take advantage of the large range of recreational activities available in close proximity to Mangalore, from golf and horse riding, to snow skiing and camping. Nearby, Seymour and Nagambie are also able to offer plenty of scenic attractions and nightlife.
The airport offers training and examination rooms for third-party use. Commercial organisations use the airport for product launches and private client briefings.
Professional Pilot AcademyIn November 2007, a joint venture with Rex, Australia's largest regional airline, Mangalore airport's newly established Civil Aviation Training Academy (CATA) is training Rex pilot cadets and in the future, private students and cadets from other airlines. CATA will be assisted in the early stages by the third equity partner in the joint venture, Moorabbin Flying Services. Pilots will graduate with a commercial pilot licence, a multi-engine rating and a command instrument rating within 32 weeks. CATA has purchased five state-of-the-art Piper Warrior III aircraft and a twin-engine Piper Seminole aircraft.
Home to FLYING SCHOOLS Kestrel Aviation and Moorabbin Flight Training Academy (MFTA), Mangalore Airport is ideal for pilot training, with unrestricted airspace and a reputation for favourable and stable weather patterns. The airport can be used for circuit work as well as navigation training.
Kestrel AviationEstablished in 1985, Kestrel Aviation is a busy helicopter and fixed-wing training school, offering private, commercial and specialist training courses to international and Australian students. It also offers charter services, particularly for firebombing and reconnaissance. Kestrel Aviation's Operational Centre is based at Mangalore Airport that is adjacent to the main car park.
(Moorabbin Flight Training Academy (MFTA)MFTA, incorporated in February 1999 has established itself as a Company offering a wide range of flight training services at all levels for private and commercial clients. The MFTAs main training base is in the Main Terminal Building of Mangalore Airport.
Origin of the name 'Mangalore' of Victoria State, Australia
Do you reckon that Mangalore of Victoria State in Australia was named after Mangalore of Karnataka State in India? At least a couple of Aussies who have spent all their life here tend to believe so.
After spending a good couple of hours in Mangalore Airport, we decided to bid adieu to the Mangalore of Victoria. There were two railway crossings – one the Goulburn Valley Railway Crossing which is an unmanned railway crossing and has a single track without boom gates or lights. The other was the North Eastern Railway Crossing (pictured) that had dual tracks and had the boom gates and lights.
Crossing this Railway Crossing and driving straight across the road, just adjacent the Hume Freeway (M31) that leads to Melbourne towards the South, we made our way to the Café of Plunkett's Winery for a much needed break … and glancing at my main car mirror, I noticed that another long car with an elderly couple seated in the front was following us right inside to the place where we were heading to.
We entered the Plunkett's winery and I parked our car with ease in the parking lot that had an uneven terrain, a basic need to the vineyards. The man who was following us had difficulty in parking his long Chevrolet in the thin parking slots. I got down from my car and guided him to park right for which he was thankful. 'When I was as young as you, I used to park big trucks in one go,' he said spreading his arms as wide as he could. 'Now I am nearing my eighties.' (shakes his head both ways). I laughed at his humour and replied. First and foremost, I do not know whether I will get there and if I do, am not so sure whether I will be able to drive a car, leave alone parking it, I quipped. He had a hearty laugh as well. He introduced himself as Bryce and this is Mourilla, my charming wife. She blushed!!
As we went into the vineyard, I struck a conversation. The septuagenarian looked to me as having immense knowledge. He and his wife love travelling. I asked him about the nearby locality of Mangalore. He explained to me its history without a blink in his eye. 'It has been named after a little town called Mangalore on the west coast of India,' he said. I was dumb founded. I asked the basis of this and the confirmation. Yes of course, he quipped, that town in India was named by the British somewhere at the end of the eighteenth century and this one somewhere in the beginning of the nineteenth century. I know that Mangalore Fishing Spot in Charleville in the State of Queensland (Australia), a shady permanent waterhole on the Warrego River is named after that Mangalore in India by G. Blakeney who was one of the first surveyors in the area, I added but I wasn't aware of this one! He went on to explain to me the history of Melbourne and the origin of its name. Bryce was of Welsh origin.
As we are aware, the term Mangalore came was introduced somewhere in 1799 when Sir Thomas Monroe became the first Collector of the Canara district that included Mangalore, Kasaragod, Udupi and Karwar, after the colonial forces marched into this coastal city after the defeat of Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore. This brings us to the notion that the term Mangalore was 'coined' rather than 'copied.' Hence, we can also conclude that the coining of the name Mangalore led to its copying and naming it elsewhere, especially here in Australia.
Bronwyn Dunwoodie, our lady at the counter and a close relation of the owner of the vineyard had many more things to add apart from confirming the origin of the name Mangalore. She has been living in this place all her life. I was amazed at her knowledge of other cities of India and the name-change that's undergoing currently there. Here I disclosed I was from the same place. Any name-change in the offing of the Victorian Mangalore, I asked. No way, she replied. The Aussies are not fussy about all that. Perhaps they would make it short as 'Manga' or 'Mang' or 'Man' or simply 'Ma' in the years to come, she laughs. Aussies have a fondness for short names – calling 'Uni' for a University, 'barbie' for barbeque, 'breakie' for breakfast, 'telly' for television and the like.
Camp Seymour at Mangalore during World War IICamp Seymour was originally an old WWII facility at Mangalore which was accessible by a railway line that runs directly north out of Melbourne. The 41st Infantry Division moved to Camp Seymour after finding that Camp Darley and Camp Pell were unsuitable for training purposes. They slept in tents with floors at Camp Seymour but minus cots. They slept on bags stuffed with straw.The following units of the 41st Infantry Division were located at Camp Seymour in June 1942:-- Headquarters Company 41st Infantry Division (Tri)- MP Co 41st Infantry Division (Tri)- Hq & HQ Btry 41st Div Arty & Band- 41st Recon Trp- 41st Signal Co American Soldiers cleaning their dixies before their meal at Camp Seymour at Mangalore
Food was cooked in two oil drums converted into cookers. Usually one was full of mutton and the other contained stewed coffee.The men of Cannon Company, 162nd Infantry, 41st Division camped at Camp Seymour for some time before moving to Rockhampton, Queensland, arriving there on 30 July 1942. The 84th Ordnance Company (Depot) of the US Army was also based at Camp Seymour. They were located there in June 1942.

Other Mangalore's in and around Australia
This list about other Mangalore's in and around Australia is not exhaustive. But I have made an effort to cover most of them.
1 Mangalore, the homestead near Nyngan in the State of New South Wales2 Mangalore Gliding Club that has moved from Locksley Field and is due to operate from a new airfield that is currently under construction.3 Mangalore Fishing Spot, Charleville, Queensland State 44704 Mangalore Station Toilet, Cooladdi, Queensland State 44795 Mangalore, a locality, Tasmania State 70306 Mangalore Farm, Tasmania State 7. Mangalore Tier, Tasmania State 8. Mangalore Rise in Whittlesea, Victoria State 37579. Mangalore Street, Travancore Suburb, Victoria State 3032It is amazing to learn that apart from our own Mangalooru, all the other Mangalores' on this Planet are concentrated on this Island Continent Australia. It equally astonishes that at least a couple of properties here in the 'Land of the Kangaroos' has been named after our own Mangalooru. Being proud as we always are, we have listed them all to pay a visit hopefully in this lifetime.On our return journey, my better-half Anita took to the wheels as we headed towards Travancore, a city not of Kerala State in India but a suburb 5 kms from the city of Melbourne to pay a visit to 'Mangalore Street.' I will cover this in my next piece titled 'A Visit to Mangalore Street.' For the moment, we will take the comfort in knowing and experiencing that after all 'Mangalore' is only a drive away.

Am surprised to read about the article n about the 2 Mangalore cities in Australia...well explained Thumbs up..
It's even amazing. There is another Mangalore in Tasmania, Australia. I.e., TWO MANGALORES IN AUSTRALIA AND ONE MANGALORE IN INDIA.
Dear StephenJust found the article on your trip to Mangalore(Vic).I started primary school at Mangalore where my father was a Vic Rail employee in 1940 during the war. In those days the place was busy with American and Australian troops along with tanks, guns and other army equipment.I do keep in touch with the area but of course much has changed particularly with railway. ,In those days there existed a substantial signal box, many sidings and at least 5 railway residences.Because Mangalore was a major junction of the Goulburn Valley and the Albury lines, it catered for a lot of passenger and goods traffic including famous names such as Heavy Harry (largest goods engine ever built in Victoria) and the luxury Sydney express, the Spirit of Progress.I enjoyed your experience and one day I may be able to visit Mangalore, India.RegardsPaul Morgan
Thanks for your comments, Neeraj. The street is not Mangalore but 'Magnolia' located on the western suburb of St. Albans, VIC 3021, near the Railway Station of Ginifer on the Sydenham Railway Line. Magnolia is named after at least 25 different landmarks througout the State of Victoria, Australia.
Very impressive article. Good corelation between 2 different cultures. Excellent stuff...Keep it up!!! Just for your information, there is a street named MANGLORE in Ginifer, on Sydhenam line. Goodluck for the next article.
Unbelievable!Which one got its name first?A friend of mine from Australia visited Magaluru but never said anything about Australian Mangalore.
I was happy to read your article and surprised to see that there is another Mangalore town in Australia. I may be visiting Australia some time next year and would like very much to come and visist the Australian Mangalore. I am from Valencia, Mangalore and I know that there is Valencia in Spain.
Stephan , where r u going this weekend? We are coming too.........
Dear Mr.Stephan, nice from your part to respond to the readers comments. I read your other articles too. Only thing I can say is being in Australia, you are still close to roots. Or can I say, one can take a man out of Mangalore but not the Mangalore out of a man. Keep writing. Looking forward to your next article here in daijiworld
I Don't know if there are other "Mangalore's" around the world,But ,Surely "Mangalorean's" are there in every corner of the world.
Very well researched article, Congrats !!! keep it up. Pictures are life like. Look forward to seeing many more articles from your email@example.com
Interestingly, there is a street named after our hometown in the US state of Virginia known as Mangalore Drive. The full address is 4108 Mangalore Drive, Annandale, VA 2203. Perhaps Mangaloreans living close by could throw further light on this fact.
Many thanks to Veneith, Marina, Padmanabha, Augustine, Clement, Sara, V.R. Lobo, Sanjay, Adnan, Stephen, Ralph, C. D'Souza, Sandhya, Norbert and Albert for your messages on my research Article 'A Drive to Mangalore.' Clement, thanks for the correction. Indeed, Australia is made up of six States (I got that right) but while naming the States, Western Australia slipped out of my mind or should I say fingers for I missed typing it. Padmanabha and Sara - to the best of my knowledge all Mangalores' around the world are concentrated here in Australia. As Sanjay has mentioned, 'Kudla' (Mangalore, as known in Tulu) is a locality in the outer suburb of Adelaide in the State of South Australia. I have covered this in a bit more detail under Identical/Similar names in my next piece 'A Visit to Mangalore Street.' Many photographs and a few maps could not be accommodated in this Article that was 'spontaneouly written as it unfolded' for at the end of it all - the text turned out to be lengthy. Cheers!
I still cant come to terms knowing that there is one more Mangalore far away in Australia. You have not told us how the name originated I also request Mangalore Corporation to explore the possibility of declaring Both cities as sister cities. One more chance for some of our politicians to go on a PHOREN tour.If the Aussie Mangalorean Municipality Head is reading this please Visit Mangalore in India and build ties between both the cities.
Very Nice Article. I live in Melbourne and often drive to Sydney. Always came across the name "Mangalore" on the Highway and use to miss hometown a lott. But never knew, abt Mangalore in Australia is amazing too. Would surely stop over at Mangalore on next trip to Sydney. Many Thanks for info
Beautiful article, happy to know that we have Mangalore in Australia, atleast now I may not miss Mangalore so much.
Hi Steve, The article about Mangalore in your pretty Melbourne suburbs ,indeed made some good reading which I enjoyed. With my association with the airline trade, I had read more about its airport facilities and so on, but glad that you saw this place and related it so well. Good job mate ! Will be pleased if you can write to me on firstname.lastname@example.com. Regards Ralph , your good old college mate
Hi Stephen, When I opened Daijiworld today I was really surprised to see an article authored on my name :-) And guess what, I was visiting Melbourne and was in Hilton on the Park Hotel when I was browsing internet :-) So it was kind of a surprise coupled with shock - Hey, that aticle is about Melbourne and it is written by me? and I don't about it? hahaha. Anyways, great thing to know that there is a Mangalore in Ozzy too.
It doesn't wonder me to know there are many such cities or Villages name repeated somewhere as well as some Human beings whos faces are same as another, Our Lord can do whatever he wants.
Sara Rasquinha asked Is there more "Mangalore around the world". Well kinda yes... there is a Kudla Railway Station on the Gawler railway line in Adelaide, South Australia in the locality of Kudla. I don't know anything about this 'Kudla' though.
It feels great to know that there is a Mangalore in Australia!! Now i am curious to know if there are more Mangalore's around the world! A very well written article. Congratulations.
Australia consists of six states.Mr stephen mentioned only five.The sixth state is Western Australia which covers almost 1/3 of Australia and the capital is Perth.
Excellent Article by Mr Stephen P. D'Souza from Australia.
Thanks for the Great news. I am proud being Manglorean that another Mangalore is in Australia. May be there is many more Mangalore's in other countries?
It's just amazing! I just cant stop my mind thinking about this. Surprised to know on the other Mangalore in Australia. Thanks for this wonderful article & info.
very nice detailed article. next time i am in Melbourne I would definitely want to visit there. i really did not know there were so many locations named after our little town down under.. thanks for the article

About JOY Real Estate
A big real estate agency.
Without the attitude.
Joy Bailey started this company almost a half century ago, at a time when people said a woman couldn't be successful in real estate. Few people believed in her. But she did.
With determination and a lot of help from family and friends, she built this company into what it is today. That effort and can-do attitude is a part of who we are. If we've learned anything over the past 40 years, it's that we don't take anything or anyone for granted. That includes our customers.
If we don't help them and treat them right, then someone else will. And though we're now one of the larger agencies in the region, our approach has stayed the same. When a customer comes to us to sell their home, we want to make sure they sell it for the best value possible. Likewise, when someone comes to us looking for a house, we want to help them find their dream home. Helping people is at the very core of our business. We have a passion for doing what's best for both our customers and our agents. And we believe long-term success is built upon proving that day-in, day-out. It not only makes us a better real estate agency, it builds friendships that last long after the sale.
"We're independent for a reason—to serve our customers better."
- Craig Bailey
JOY Real Estate is one of the few large family-owned real estate agencies in the Carolinas. And there's a good reason for that. We don't simply sell real estate. We're not just a business. We are part of the community.
We've helped countless Carolina residents with their real estate needs. And along the way, it occurred to us that by remaining independent, we can remain loyal and focused on the people who matter most: you.

In March of 2020, an Iowa security guard named Shane Saxen, 31, collected $1 million for five matching numbers on a Powerball ticket. When asked what he planned to do with the windfall, Saxen said he'd save it for retirement. That's not the sexiest answer you'll hear from a lottery winner, but it is a wise choice.
Here's why. If Saxen plans to retire at age 62, he has 31 years to benefit from compound earnings on his winnings. Let's say he walks away with about $551,000 after paying taxes and taking the lumpsum prize upfront. Invest that sum at a 7% average annual return for 31 years, and it grows to nearly $4.8 million before taxes. And that number sounds a lot more exciting than $551,000.
So, what should you do with a sudden cash windfall? Here are five steps that'll set you up for financial success.
1. Fill up your emergency fund
Even lottery winners need an emergency fund. Set aside enough cash in a high-rate savings account to cover six months of your living expenses. Then, forget about that money until something bad happens. Use it for the unexpected -- loss of income, healthcare expenses, car repair, or home repair.
2. Pay off debt
Next, pay off all credit card debt, personal loans, and student loan debt. The average credit card APR is 14.87%, and that can strangle your monthly budget if you're rolling over balances. Personal loans can be even more toxic, with rates as high as 36%. And student debt has more manageable rates, ranging from 4.5% to about 7%, but you might have much higher balances. If you have the cash, pay it all off and free yourself from the burden.
Next, evaluate where you are with car loans and mortgage debt. Because these liabilities usually carry low interest rates, experts often advise against paying them off early. Mathematically, it does make sense not to pay off these debts if you can earn higher interest rates by investing those funds. But there is an emotional benefit to owning your home and car, free and clear. That's a tough thing to quantify.
Think about what you'd do with the money if you didn't pay off your mortgage and car loan. If you are disciplined enough to invest in low-cost index funds or income-earning property, then do that. If you have a history of spending every last dime on hand, then send the money to your mortgage lender.
3. Create a budget
Having a budget is critical. Without one, you may be too relaxed about your spending and that can easily undermine your newfound wealth. Do an internet search for "lottery winners who lost it all" if you need some negative inspiration.
Your budget should account for your living expenses, plus contributions to your 401(k) and Health Savings Account or HSA. You may have a cash windfall, but that's no reason not to take advantage of retirement-related tax perks. 401(k) and HSA contributions are pre-tax. HSA withdrawals are fully tax-free when you use the funds for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. And yes, lottery winners get sick too.
Making regular retirement contributions is like an insurance policy. You may have cash in the bank today, but there's no telling what could happen tomorrow. You just paid off your debts and you should have extra cash flow. There's no reason not to build more security into your future.
4. Splurge, a little
Now, for the fun part. If you're committed to a budget that includes savings contributions, go ahead and splurge a little. Limit your splurge to 5% of the windfall that remains after you've paid down debt. Choose something that will enhance your quality of life, but not something that will keep consuming resources. Boats, sports cars, and show horses are off limits.
5. Open a brokerage account
Finally, open a brokerage account to hold the remaining funds. You will owe taxes on any dividends, interest, and capital gains generated in this account. That's one of many reasons to follow a buy-and-hold strategy, which tends to be fairly tax-efficient. Reliable investment options include blue-chip stocks, tax-efficient funds, or low-cost index funds.
You can dream big, but spend small
A lottery win can have you daydreaming about driving Bentleys and Ferraris, or jet-setting around the world. But follow the lead of Saxen, and play the long game to secure your wealth. With some patience, you can turn a moderate cash windfall into a jackpot -- and secure a swanky retirement at the same time.

The farm news
New buying method
Since turnips reaching the market from the Blackwater Turnip Growers' Association are guaranteed for quality right to the consumer's table, it is essential that no means of maintaining the high quality standards set by the association be neglected.
J. H. Purvis manager of that organization, informed the Ontario Marketing Board that producers of turnips which have passed rigid tests and are bagged for market. Culls are returned to the producer. Anything that the producer might lose by this method of buying is offset by the premium paid to all producers supplying turnips which meet the high quality standards set by the Association.

Sen. Dick Durbin on Sunday urged U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to step down as the country grapples with a mail service crisis that's created "serious problems" across the Chicago area.
During a news conference alongside Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) and four women affected by the mail slowdown, Durbin hammered on the issues plaguing the U.S. Postal Service while railing against DeJoy, an appointee of former President Donald Trump who's under intense scrutiny.
"It's best that he step aside and somebody new with a better creative idea comes into the picture. But sadly we're in a position where Mr. DeJoy won't leave," Durbin said while standing in front of the U.S. Post Office in Federal Plaza in the Loop.
Only the Postal Service's board of governors can remove DeJoy. And while President Joe Biden announced three nominations last week to fill out the board, the current batch of Trump appointees have continued to support DeJoy despite opposition from Democrats.
Meanwhile, Durbin said Chicagoans are "running into serious problems" with undelivered mail, noting that many rely on the Postal Service for their bills, prescription medications and other necessities. He said his office previously sent a team out to four post offices in Chicago, where they identified 300 pieces of mail that hadn't been delivered. But as it turned out, that was only the tip of the iceberg.
"When the official inspector showed up the next day it wasn't 300, it was 19,000 pieces of mail that were sitting in those post offices undelivered," said Durbin, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the Senate.
Spokespeople for the Postal Service didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Hopkins said his relationship with local postal authorities deteriorated last May, when the staffers who previously helped track down lost mail stopped communicating with his office.
"At the same time, complaints about misdirected mail and lost mail and no mail at all skyrocketed," he said.
Mary Lou Sydel, who lives in Hopkins' ward and runs a business out of her home, said she hasn't been able to find a reliable collection box to send mail. And Kit Barbaro, another 2nd Ward resident, noted that mail service at her condominium has been "very erratic over the last six months."
"People are waiting for checks that they need to spend money on paying bills. They're late and sometimes never arrive," Barbaro said. "Bills are delayed and sometimes they're never even received. People are charged interest on that. Medications are arriving late."
Like Durbin, Hopkins believes the problem "starts at the top." He claimed there was "an intentional decision to sandbag the U.S. postal office and to stop providing the types of service that people have come to rely on and expect."
"The leadership of the U.S. Post Office must be held accountable for the fact that it continues a downward spiral into chaos, mismanagement and dysfunction," Hopkins added.
While DeJoy is developing a 10-year reform plan to address issues at the Postal Service, Durbin described it as "a disaster" that would effectively raise mail costs and slow delivery.
Durbin previously wrote a letter to local Postal Service officials urging them to address the pervasive issues in the Chicago area. Now, Durbin said he and fellow Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth are "putting pressure on the Postal Service at every single level" to ensure there's better service locally.
Durbin said the outrage over the service problems was directed back on him last week, when he attended a Zoom meeting with residents of Ald. Leslie Hairston's 5th Ward.
Grovena Galbreath, a resident of that ward, told the Sun-Times she stopped receiving some mail starting in November. Galbreath, who described herself as an "avid online shopper," currently has around 25 packages out for delivery that haven't been dropped off.
But Galbreath said she's especially concerned about the slowdown's effects on the city's "most vulnerable" residents, as well as small businesses attempting to use e-commerce to create new revenue during the pandemic. Ultimately, she believes the service problems could become "a voting issue."
"I'm going to hold not only the Postal Service accountable, but my elected officials," she said. "And if this is not brought to resolution after next election cycle, I will begin to work caucusing and canvassing within my community to bring redress to this issue."

Qantas has announced the latest steps in introducing its new check-in service.
People taking flights to Australia could be among those able to take advantage of a new check-in service being offered by Qantas.
The airline has announced the launch of its faster, smarter check-in service with the Q Card Reader.
This service has been used on domestic flights but it is now to be used on journeys departing from Sydney to Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand.
Qantas chief executive officer Alan Joyce said: "Our trans-Tasman frequent flyers can now scan their frequent flyer card and passport and retrieve their boarding pass within seconds of arriving at the airport. It's all about cutting down the journey time."
Some travellers could be planning to take flights to Australia in order to meet adjoining journeys from Perth, after Qantas announced it would be increasing the number of domestic flights operating from the terminal.

Spiritual Wisdom vs. Natural Knowledge – Why There is so Much Deception Today
"But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14) Seek out Spiritual wisdom! No one knows you better than God, because he created you! King David wrote in Psalm 139: "O LORD, you have searched me and known me!" Have you ever stopped to consider what it means that "God searches" me? Why does he search me, and what does that mean?? Psalm 139 declares the wonderful truth that each one of us is specially created by God: "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." Think and meditate on that! Your "inward parts" were knitted together by God! So when he "searches us" as our Creator, he can see and find EVERYTHING there is about us, right down to the cellular level, or down to our DNA code, or even the specific atoms that are all strung together to make you who you are! So when a health problem comes your way, what is the first thing you do? Do you run first thing to the one who knows you the most intimately and actually searches you? Or do you automatically run to medical professionals who, while maybe having more knowledge than yourself regarding medical matters, cannot even compare to the knowledge God has of you, because he can search you all the way down to the smallest component of your physical being? And since God has this incredible knowledge of your physical, emotional, and spiritual makeup as your Creator, do you think he is interested in communicating to you what your problems are and what the solutions are?

Looking for fool proof natural disaster preparation tips? A natural disaster isn't something that can be prevented, but there are several steps that you and your family can take to be prepared for one.
That way your home and family are better protected, and you aren't completely blindsided by whatever is thrown at you.
Maybe you already know several important tips that you should be doing to be prepared for a disaster. It certainly wouldn't hurt to re-familiarize yourself with what they are.
These are foolproof natural disaster preparation tips that every family should know about.
1. Know What the Potential Disasters are for Your Area
Do you happen to live in tornado alley, just off the hurricane coast, or possibly in an earthquake zone? And if you live in the northeast, blizzards are something else that you need to think about.
Make sure to familiarize yourself with the natural disasters that are likely to occur in your area.
This will help you know what to be prepared for, what supplies to have on hand along with what evacuation plans you need to create.
2. Create a Family Emergency Plan
Sit down with your family and discuss a plan for each of the different types of potential emergencies in your area. Assign roles and responsibilities, designate one or two different meeting places in case one of them becomes unreachable, and practice evacuating your home or sheltering in place.
You should have a list of important numbers put away in your wallet and also a copy stowed away with your emergency supplies.
Also, be sure to have a backup plan for checking in with your relatives to let them know you're okay because there's a good chance that the local lines will become jammed.
Should there be any reason to evacuate, make sure that you have more than one route mapped out in case your main route becomes blocked.
3. Keep Your Food Pantry Stocked
In the event of a natural disaster, supermarkets and stores may not be accessible for an extended period of time.
Make sure to keep your pantry stocked with non-perishables that can last for several weeks, such as canned goods, dried beans, rice, peanut butter, nuts, and seeds.
Don't forget about water – it's recommended to have at least 1 gallon per person per day (for drinking and hygiene), stored in sealed containers.
4. Stock Up on Emergency Supplies
Besides having plenty of non-perishable food and water tucked away in your pantry, also be sure to stock up on crucial emergency supplies and medical supplies that will sustain you and your family for at least three days (or more depending on the disaster).
Make sure that everyone in your family knows where you've stowed your emergency kit that has all of your important documents, flashlights, batteries, tools, first aid kit, and other emergency supplies that you may need following a disaster.
It's also wise to have some cash on hand in case of power outages and atm's become available along with a to-go emergency kit ready in case you need to evacuate quickly.
5. Stay Informed About Natural Disaster Preparation
Make sure to have a battery-powered or hand crank radio and multiple ways to receive emergency alerts (such as through television, phone apps, or a NOAA weather radio).
Again, if you haven't already, I strongly recommend that you sign up on your phone for emergency alerts that will keep you ahead of the storm. Stay updated on any impending disasters or current emergencies by listening for updates from local officials.
If they are urging local residents to evacuate at any time, it's crucial that you do so. Failing to listen could put each of your family members at great risk.
6. Prepare Your Home for Natural Disasters
There are several steps that you can take to prepare your home for a natural disaster. Now is the time to make sure that you have the proper insurance coverage for your home.
This is especially important for those of you that live in an area that's known for flooding or possible hurricane damage. Failing to do so can leave your insurance company off the hook for helping you replace your home and valued possessions.
- How to Prepare for an Economic Recession
- How to Prepare for Rolling Blackouts
- How to Prepare for Food Shortages
A disaster can strike out of nowhere, but oftentimes, local weather authorities are able to provide your region with plenty of warning several hours beforehand.
If you're able to do so, trim any tree branches that could become an issue for your property and remove any debris in your yard that may become a hazard during high winds.
Make sure your roof is secure and reinforce any weak areas. Have sandbags on hand to protect against floods, or know how to divert floodwaters away from your property.
Natural Disaster Preparation: Every Adult and Teenager in Your Household Should Know:
- How to perform CPR along with basic first-aid training
- Where the gas, water, and electric shutoffs are and how to turn them off in case there's a leak or an electrical short. Also, be sure to keep the necessary tools that are required for these jobs in a place where each of your family members can find them.
- Where to meet following an emergency in the instance that a natural disaster occurs while the family is apart (Work, school, etc.)
In the unfortunate event of a natural disaster, it's important to stay calm and follow the emergency plan that you've prepared with your family.
Remember not to panic and always listen to instructions from local officials. Having all of these tips in mind and being prepared can mean the difference between life and death during a natural disaster. And that's no exaggeration by any means.

You've probably heard of CI/CD. If not, it stands for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment. This methodology is a set of processes to enable dev teams to deliver code changes more rapidly and reliably. Unlike a traditional lifecycle, the additions or alterations to code are typically smaller, which means they can be applied more frequently without worrying the changes will have a negative effect on the product.
CI/CD is a solid methodology for enterprise businesses. Still, it's not one to take lightly, as it can be complicated and requires several tools to integrate into your existing pipeline. Once CI/CD is implemented, it can run seamlessly and without issue…and even include levels of automation you might not experience with a traditional software development methodology.
But what types of tools do you need to implement CI/CD? As this is far removed from traditional methods, the types of tools might be unfamiliar to you and your teams. So, when you are first considering CI/CD, you should at least know the types of tools that will be required to get this new methodology up and running.
Let's lay out the kinds of tools you'll need for your journey into CI/CD. We won't list out specific tools but, rather, the types of tools you'll need. As every situation is different, the specific tool you'll require will vary. What's important is that you have a tool to cover each of the following needs.
And so, without further ado, let's lay out some of the categories of tools you'll need in order to take your first steps with Continuous Integration/Continous Delivery.
Version Control System
Your dev teams probably already make use of a Version Control System, so this is the easiest category to get up to speed on. With CI/CD, your source code is the heart and soul of the pipeline, so having a single source of truth is imperative. When choosing a VCS, make sure it's one that your teams are familiar with and also offers plenty of integrations and APIs.
Most modern VCS services work well with CI/CD, so chances are pretty good the one your team is already using will play well with the new methodology.
Code Analysis
You'll also need to make use of a tool (or tools) to analyze your code. Such tools go a long way to making sure the code your developers create is free from errors, and offers failure reporting, and linting. Think of it this way: You want to ensure every line of code is as spot-on as possible, early in the chain, and doing this manually can cause bottlenecks you do not want to deal with. Most code analysis tools are automated, fast, and reliable.
Container Runtime Engine
Although containers aren't absolutely necessary for CI/CD, if you want to really get the most out of this methodology (while also being as agile as possible), you'll definitely want to employ containers. There are a number of container runtime engines to choose from (such as Docker and Podman), so make sure to do your research and choose the one that best suits your needs and the skills of your developers.
Package Manager
Chances are pretty good you're developers will be working with the likes of PHP, Node, and other languages, some of which have their own package managers to make managing the necessary software even easier. For instance, Node.js has npm, which makes it very easy to install Node-related software. Anything you can do to make the developer's jobs a bit easier can make a major difference in how smoothly your CI/CD deployment will go.
Feedback Loops
The feedback loop is absolutely critical for a smooth CI/CD pipeline. As soon as something occurs in the pipeline (such as a deployment, a change in code, a problem, or a commit), your teams need to know about it. Some feedback can be automated, which makes it considerably more efficient and reliable. For those bits of feedback that cannot be automated, you'll want to make sure your DevOps teams are constantly on the lookout for notifications regarding the pipeline. A missed bit of feedback can cause major problems that can escalate very quickly. Keep in mind, if you can automate feedback, do so. For those bits that cannot be automated, make sure the feedback goes to the right people and that they are capable of reacting quickly and effectively.
Cloud Provider
As much as you might like to keep everything in-house, your data center probably isn't nearly as capable of scaling to meet demand as is the likes of Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure. Because of that, you're going to need to feed your CI/CD pipeline to a cloud host that can handle massive scalability. You'll also need to make sure whatever cloud provider you select can work with the other tools in your pipeline, otherwise, you could wind up with a dead end on your hands.
You'll need to secure as many stages of your CI/CD pipeline as possible. Such tools can scan virtual machines and container images for vulnerabilities. Should any issues be found, you'll be better informed on how to mitigate those problems. You'll also want to employ security features found in the operating systems that help power your CI/CD pipeline, such as SELinux, AppArmor, firewalls, cgroups, RBAC, and more.
You'll need any and all tools that make it possible for you to observe what's happening within your CI/CD pipeline at all times. Without observability, you wouldn't be nearly as prepared to solve problems, optimize your deployments, or keep tabs on performance issues. And this isn't just about reading log files but also getting automated reports that help keep you as informed as possible.
Automation is a key component of CI/CD and needs to be employed at nearly every point on the chain. Automation can begin in the CSV, where the second new code is added, the analysis automatically kicks off. When the analysis observes the code is good to go, another automation task launches to build the code, followed a task to automatically deploy the code, and then informs those who need to know everything either went off without a hitch or if problems were encountered.
Wrapping it up
It's important to keep in mind the stages of CI/CD and make sure you have the tools to cover each step. The stages are:
- Source - it all starts in your repository. As code is added or changed, the pipeline is automatically triggered and the process begins.
- Build - Once the pipeline is triggered the next step is the build, where source code and all dependencies are packaged and ready to execute.
- Test - Once the build is complete, testing is automatically started and any issues are discovered and reported.
- Deployment - With the testing complete, if everything checks out, the build is automatically deployed from the staging environment to production.
CI/CD includes a lot of moving parts, so your best bet is to do plenty of upfront research, so you know exactly what you're getting into before you start.

As an institution, Occidental College continuously strives for increased student engagement with surrounding communities. Off-campus living provides a vital opportunity for students to fluidly engage with their surrounding communities, while also gaining valuable life experiences. Despite this, current Residential Education policies hinder rather than support off-campus living.
Per Residential Education policy, all seniors are allowed to live off campus, while juniors can only do so after undergoing a selective application process. While one-fifth of the junior class currently lives off campus, the opportunity to do so should be afforded to all juniors, rather than a select few.
Occidental prides itself on being one of the few liberal arts institutions located in a major metropolitan area, and its location in Los Angeles provides an invaluable opportunity for mutual exchange between students and the city. Students can actively engage with Los Angeles, whether through internships, jobs, museum visits or political rallies.
Yet students do not truly engage with the city of Los Angeles, or even the Eagle Rock community, on a daily basis beyond the realm of college-organized events. Off-campus living provides the chance for day-to-day, informal interaction with the local community; without the ability to live off campus, this is not possible.
Most mornings, my housemates and I convene on the raggedy couch on our front porch, coffee and cereal in hand, to enjoy the brief moments before the hustle of the day begins. We have become acquainted with several neighbors through this routine, including Mendel, a black labradoodle who scampers by each morning, led by his owner. Mendel's owner has become a friend over the past few weeks, and such informal engagement with the community would be much less frequent if I lived on campus.
Formal community engagement facilitated through the college is valuable, but does not provide the natural engagement that off-campus living does. Four years ago, as a car-less first-year living in Newcomb, my chances to venture off campus were limited. That year I worked for the Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP), where I began to recognize the clear separation between myself and the high school students I tutored. This experience made me acutely aware of the "Oxy bubble."
Well-intentioned programs such as NPP seek to immerse students in the surrounding communities, but do not provide the natural immersion that off-campus living does. Both types of off-campus engagement are critical for the personal growth of Occidental students.
The opportunity to fully integrate with Eagle Rock and the surrounding communities can only come from living in the neighborhoods themselves. By senior year, the opportune time to live off campus has passed as seniors are already consumed with thinking beyond graduation.
Off-campus living bridges the gap between the "Oxy bubble" and real life. With the opportunity to live off-campus by junior year, students must learn to cook, clean and manage bill payments, among other chores required of living on your own, preparing them for life beyond Occidental. Off-campus living allows for integration with the wider Los Angeles community while simultaneously allowing undergraduates to develop into fully functioning adults.
Occidental markets itself with a focus on location. The admissions team is wise in doing so because we have the unique opportunity to attend a liberal arts college in a bustling city. As Occidental continues to grow and compete with other liberal arts colleges, location will undoubtedly continue to be an asset. However, these words need to be put into action.
Residential Education is reluctant to let juniors live off-campus due to the fear that it will detract from community building on campus, but taking away choice from students approaching the age of 21 builds resentment, and therefore detracts from the sense of community in the end. While the college as a whole has made a commitment to engage students locally and globally, genuine local engagement is stifled by the limitations on students living off campus.
