While a full biography of awaits to be written, probably the most detailed account to date is Dick Collins's 'G.W.M. Reynolds: a Biographical Sketch' that introduces the Valancourt edition of Reynolds's The Necromancer Kansas City: Valancourt Books, 2007), vii-lv. — Louis James, Professor Emeritus in Victorian and Modern Literature, University of Kent
Reynolds's portrait. Source: Reynolds's Miscellany, I/1 (7 Nov. 1846): front page
George William MacArthur Reynolds (1814-79), once an enormously popular Victorian author, is almost totally unknown in our day (Bleiler, vii-viii). Like his contemporary Charles Dickens, Reynolds worked as an editor and journalist who also wrote numerous novels and other works — the majority of which were published as serials in weekly newspapers or journals. Unlike Dickens, he has now been almost completely forgotten, and his works, which were published and reissued several times during his lifetime, are now unknown to all but a few specialized scholars. The two works — best-sellers of the day — most often remembered, The Mysteries of London and The Mysteries of the Court of London , sold over a million copies in ten years. These works, each comprising twelve or more volumes when published as books, were almost immediately translated and published in French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
In modern references, he is often referred to as a Chartist leader, but works about Chartism give him little recognition or ignore him altogether because he had a disagreement with the other leaders of the movement and broke with the Chartists. Chartism was a political movement made up of many diverse organizations and groups with slightly different purposes, but all agreed about the points of "the Charter", these being: "universal suffrage. . . , equal-sized electoral districts, voting by secret ballot, an end to the need for a property qualification for Parliament. . . , pay for the members of Parliament, and annual election of Parliament." The main purpose of Chartism was to achieve better standards of living for the lower middle class and the working classes, and this is where we can tentatively locate Reynolds's purpose in his fiction. Reynolds focus often relied on various themes and these recurred throughout his works. In this essay I shall treat the attention he gave to good and evil, virtue and vice, repentance, and the need for social change.
Nearly all of Reynolds's characters are either entirely good or entirely bad. In Wagner the Wehr-wolf, for example, God, angels, and the devil appear as characters. In his other works they do not figure so prominently, yet his concern with them is not superficial here. Reynolds did not divide his characters into good and evil based on their class but rather on their their motivations and their desires.
To give an idea of how he separated his characters into binary oppositions and how he characterized the good ones by contrasting them to the bad, I shall make some comparisons between some of the contrasting characters that are placed together in Wagner the Wehr-wolf and in The Mysteries of the Court of London. Fernand Wagner, the Wehr-wolf and main character in the former work, is an old and lonely man abandoned by his only living kin, his granddaughter, when he is visited by Faust and offered wealth, youth, and intelligence in exchange for accompanying Faust for eighteen months and that he "prey upon the human race" as a wehr-wolf (6). Yet Wagner is characterized as a good-hearted and kindly gentleman who sorrows over his foolish decision. He finds his granddaughter later in the work, discovers that she had become the mistress of an Italian nobleman, and forgives her for her inconsiderate choice. He becomes enamored of Nisida (the daughter of this same nobleman) and his granddaughter Agnes is murdered. He is arrested for the murder and while awaiting his trial, he is visited by "the Demon", the very devil characterized in human shape with "something awful in [his] form — something wildly and menacingly sinister in the sardonic smile that curled his lips."
The devil offers Wagner the very offer made to Faust, but Wagner refuses. The devil, who is intent on destroying Wagner's happiness, repeatedly tries to convince him to give up his soul in exchange for something Wagner needs. Somehow, the devil is sinister but never directly attacks Wagner or anyone else in the story. What most made me angry with this apparition is that after Wagner has fended off his attacks again and again, he interacts with Nisida and convinces her to repeat his temptations to Wagner again. Somehow, I saw this as an even more subtle and sinister attempt to defeat Wagner.
In an era when Jews were still often viewed with hatred and blamed for the problems of society, Reynolds's treatment of a Jew is quite interesting. Even Dickens treated Jews with stereotypical prejudice in both Oliver Twist and Great Expectations (though he made amends in later works). In Wagner, Isaachar ben Solomon, the Jewish moneylender, is characterized as a very good man. When two men — both of whom had come to do him harm by theft or violence — begin a sword fight in his home, he moved to a corner, "fell upon his knees and began to offer up prayers that no blood might be spilt — for he was a humane and kind-hearted man" (45). One of them is wounded, and "Isaachar . . . supplied water in an ewer, and linen bandages: and the old man, forgetting the object of Manuel's predatory visit to his abode, hastened himself to wash and bind up the wounded arm." When the subject of this attention comments that the Jew "hast something of the feelings of a Christian," Isaachar replies, "Didst thou ever suppose that different creeds make different hearts . . . ?" (45). Reynolds himself could be speaking here for tolerance of the Jews and their beliefs.
Now in contrast with the kind-hearted Jew we have the Grand Inquisitor of the Holy Inquisition who makes his appearance later. After Isaachar has been imprisoned for months, he appears before the venerable Inquisitor.
The old man was indeed a spectacle. His garments hung loosely about his wasted and attenuated form; — his countenance was wan and ghastly; — but the fire of his eyes was not altogether quenched. . . . For the persecuted old man had been confined for nearly seven months in the prison of the Inquisition; and during that period he had suffered acutely with the damps of his dungeon — the wretched food doled out to him — and the anguish occasioned by conscious innocence unjustly accused of a dreadful crime.
The stern, fierce Grand Inquisitor, Christian as he is, sends hapless victims off to the torture chamber and makes them suffer — often unjustly (127-28). It was no coincidence that Reynolds placed these two characters together to show the disparity of their characters as related to his contemporaries' expectations based on their respective religions.
Another contrast occurs in The Mysteries of the Court of London between Sir Richard Stamford and the Prince of Wales. Richard Stamford, a noble, has been betrayed by his wife and is wanted for her murder and for various other crimes of which he has been accused. He is caught and held for several days by a group of ruffians associated with the individuals who brought this ignominy upon him but fortunately escapes by digging through the wall of the cellar where he is held into the cellar next door (119-32). After his escape, he returns home and discovers that all is not as was first reported by the newspapers: his wife is alive though he is still unjustly wanted. He forgives his wife and is reconciled with her.
On the other hand, the Prince of Wales is a dissipated, greedy, and depraved monster. He seduces women, taking advantage of their innocent nature, often under assumed names and with the pretense that he will soon marry them. On one occasion, a trader who he owed money was about to be put in prison for debts. The prince discovered a way to discharge the debt, but only bothered because it would be embarrassing for knowledge of the debt to become public. Then, despite having the means at hand, he puts off paying this debt until the last minute and the trader commits suicide. When informed of this occurrence by his confidant Meagles who had been sent to pay the debt, the prince says, "Of course you have not paid the money to the creditors? Well, perhaps it is better that the vulgar trader should have blown his brains out; it is fifteen thousand pounds saved" (274). As readers we are positively outraged by the prince's behavior — as is his friend Meagles.
Reynolds was unusually candid about Victorian mores, for his contemporaries often left unsaid what he voiced. For example, he rails against the unjust system of morals which prevailed under which an unfaithful wife was punished severely while an unfaithful husband's deeds were simply overlooked or ignored (Wagner, 39). His audience being the more affluent sections of the lower class and perhaps certain portions of the middle class, he catered to their interests with his works on historical settings and events. Over these he superimposed a Victorian view of the world and added what could be termed pornography, mainly in the form of descriptions of women. Often these segments are followed by a sort of puritanical reverie commenting on how awful such things are. His approach to the unfairness of the social mores and to the misdeeds of the Prince of Wales give us a view of how he really felt about the virtue of women. Somehow he saw it as quite important, perfectly in step with others of his day. What is perhaps surprising here is, as we just mentioned, his use of seductive or voyeuristic scenes that exploit women. To give one example, I shall provide his description of Nisida from Wagner the Wehr-wolf:
Tall, graceful, and elegant, she united easy motion with fine proportion; thus possessing the lightness of the Sylph and the luxuriant fullness of the Hebe.
Her countenance was alike expressive of intellectuality and strong passions. Her large black eyes were full of fire; and their glances seemed to penetrate the soul. . . . [H]er lips, narrow but red and pouting, with the upper one short and slightly projecting over the lower, and her small, delicately rounded chin, indicated both decision and sensuality: but the insolent gaze of the libertine would have quailed beneath the look of sovereign hauteur which flashed from those brilliant eagle eyes. [7]
This, one of his shorter flights into female description, exemplifies his characteristic, rather odd joining of virtue and vice in his description of female characters. In some ways, I suspect the allegation that his work is pornographic is part of the reason that he has been ignored for so many years. A final important note regarding his treatment of characters in relation to good and evil, virtue and vice: the characters are not absolutely fixed without the ability to change. The most poignant example of this being the woman described, Nisida. Throughout Wagner the Wehr-wolf Nisida is a very difficult character to follow. She murders Wagner's granddaughter because she thinks she is a rival lover, she is constantly scheming, she affects to be mute and deaf (not even her brother knows that she really can speak and hear), and she seems to have strange motives for most of these things. At the end of the work, she suddenly explains everything: her mother had made her make certain promises and she had done her best to keep those promises. She apologizes for her more heinous acts and dies. Her brother is told, "Grieve not for her loss, my children, she has gone to a happier realm — for the sincere repentance which she manifested in her last hours has atoned for all the evils she wrought in her life-time" (152).
This belief that repentance can make up for the errors of an entire lifetime figures quite large in Reynolds works. It seems to entail a change of heart and attitude, forgiveness from God, escape from the devil, confession, and tranquility in death. Other characters who embody this view of repentance include Wagner himself, Arthur Eaton, and The Marquis of Orsini. Wagner's case is perhaps obvious — after he agreed to become a werewolf and thus inflict harm on others for his own benefit, he feels remorse and seeks a way to make up for the harm he has done. Wagner is able to effect an escape by following directions given to him in a vision by an angel and in freeing himself from his sins also dies. In death Wagner is buried with Nisida who we were explicitly told received a forgiveness.
Arthur Eaton, The Mysteries of the Court of London, provides another interesting case. After he abandons his pregnant lover, she arranges to have him poisoned in a way that make it seem as if he is dying a slow death from a wasting disease. While thus suffering and dying, he repents and tries to make amends to this woman, who refuses to forgive him and continues her plans to have him killed. He discovers that he is being poisoned, and discovers the antidote and while recovering goes to try to make amends with her. She is still angry and tries again to kill him, obtaining a poison that would kill him instantly in his sleep. He is awake when she arrives and tells her that he is still willing to take her and that he is very sorry for what he had done to her. She leaves still angry. His case is interesting because he continues repentant after he discovers that he is not going to die. This implies that his view of repentance requires sincerity.
Reynolds's underlying purpose in both The Mysteries of London series is to uncover the problems in society and to push for change. Although they seem to be soap-opera-like novels, they have have underlying political and religious purposes. The theme of repentance for individuals ties quite nicely to the Chartist idea that society can improve itself and compensate for its past errors. This view makes Reynolds's narratives slightly more important as social documents. Chartism sought for particular changes in benefit of society and repentance almost seems to be a proof that these changes can be brought about.
In several sections of The Mysteries of London and The Mysteries of the Court of London, Reynolds steps aside from the narrative to describe the people on the street and to decry the social injustice he sees there. He makes brief comments in nearly every chapter, but certain chapters have pages of commentaries like the ones about the unfair treatment of women mentioned above. One chapter, for example, instructs the reader to look at a map of London and compare where poor people live to where the rich do, after which the narrator tells us:
The result will prove that two-thirds of the mighty Babylon are covered with a plague-mist of demoralization, misery, ignorance, wretchedness, squalor, and crime. And yet a thousand towers, pinnacles, and spires point up to heaven, and indicate the houses of God and the temples of worship. Oh, what have the myriad fat and bloated pastors done for the population that swarms in those frightful neighbourhoods. . . . [In many areas of the city] "the houses [are] of the most miserable description, the shops of the poorest kind. Every dwelling harboured numerous distinct families; and poverty forced the poor artisan into a close neighbourhood with the avowed thief. The result, in such cases, too often was that the former, instead of bringing the latter within the sphere of a commendable industry, became infected with the poison of demoralization, and in the desperation produced by the failure of work, threw himself into the arms of the villain who promised a rich harvest with little trouble in the reaping.[84]
This passage exemplifies the characteristic accusations Reynolds levels against the government, the aristocracy, and the established church for causing these problems and not working to resolve them.
According to Reynolds — here still very much in sympathy with Chartist belief — poverty is the chief cause of crime. Reynolds wanted greater equality between classes, cultural freedom, economic security for all, and universal tolerance, and he constantly worked these ideas into both his works of fiction and his editorials. He appears somewhat conservative because, like Thomas Carlyle who also excoriates the aristocracy, he nonetheless relates desperately needed social change to the virtue and vice of individuals and to the good that individual repentance produces.

BIKE NOPA & Bikes And The City have spun out a new collaborative bike series, Women Who Bike. Each Monday and Wednesday we will feature San Francisco women and their bicycles. Check both our blogs for the experiences, stories, and ideas that women who bike the city want to share with you.
Let us know your thoughts and leave comments for the featured riders.
+ + + + + + + + + + +
Women Who Bike: Melyssa and Adrienne
How would you characterize your bicycling style? assertive, carefree, cautious, competitive, law abiding, slow and steady
M. i ride like i assume that i am invisible to cars. slow and steady wins everytime.
A. I ride a bike.
Something basic: how often do you bike and what for?
M. everyday for every reason: to work, to fun and to run borriiiiing errands.
A. Just about everyday and for just about every reason. It has come to a point where I have to make myself remember I have a car I can use. I don't think any of the people I have met in the last 18 months have ever even seen my car.
What could be done in SF to encourage more women, including teens and younger, to bike?
M.i think the same answer you hear often: better bike infrastructure. see ade's answer...
A. Where to start.... first off, we need to get rid of this bloody injunction! Enough is enough and it is time to get some infrastructure going! We gotta make it comfortable to ride with kids on the back and not be crowded in by cars. Second, those of us who are out there with our kids and our heels need to get vocal and visible about what we do, too- we need to brag about how easy it was to park the bike right in front of the play date, we need to vocalize our happiness about the discovery that our favorite jeans fit sooooo much better since we started riding to work, we need to talk about how great it feels to not pay that stupid gym bill any more because the riding has been such a great way to get in the exercise....
How many of your best dates/friendships started with biking?
M. i've met you guys! hugs!!! it's also just easier to hang around people who already enjoy being on bikes.
A. I can think of one or two : ) Making friends on the bike has been great (and making new friends once you get out of college gets harder every year). Best has been finding an easy way to get in fun time with my husband. Even a trip to Costco is fun on the bikes.
I surprise people when I bike by (or with):
M. when i wear my work clothes on my commute. them being surprised surprises me back!
A. Just being on my bike surprises people, but I get the biggest shock value when people see me tackle hills with my 5 year old on the back of my Dutch bike. They can't believe I am not dead at the top : )
My message to women who want to try biking:
M. just get on the bike. and when/if you fall, it's ok, not the end of the world, just dust yourself off and get back on that bike and show it who's boss! also, make sure that the bike is comfortable for you. the more comfortable it is, the more intuitive it will be to meld seamlessly into your lifestyle.
A. Stop saying you can't and just do it. Even if all you are comfortable with at first is riding in the park, just do it. We are women, not Faberge eggs- we will not break biking down the road to the café.
These two women rock. We have all joined the enthusiasm to go a little further than roaming our city daily, and take it a step aside to experience the Marin Century this summer and we get prepared together, alongside with a few other peeps.+ + + + + + + + + +
Adrienne rides all over the city and is based out of Glen Park and you can find Melyssa anytime adding a dose of sass to the wiggle. Together (+Caryl in LA), and asides our personal blogs, we have a collaborative blog Change Your Life. Ride a Bike!
♥ Gracias Melyssa y Adrienne!! ♥

script — make typescript of terminal session
script [-a] [-c command] [-e] [-f] [-q] [-t[=file]] [-V] [-h] [file]
script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr(1).
If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file. If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.
-a, --append
Append the output to file or typescript, retaining the prior contents.
-c, --command command
Run the command rather than an interactive shell. This makes it easy for a script to capture the output of a program that behaves differently when its stdout is not a tty.
-e, --return
Return the exit code of the child process. Uses the same format as bash termination on signal termination exit code is 128+n.
-f, --flush
Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation: one person does `mkfifo foo; script -f foo', and another can supervise real-time what is being done using `cat foo'.
Allow the default output destination, i.e. the typescript file, to be a hard or symbolic link. The command will follow a symbolic link.
-q, --quiet
Be quiet.
-t, --timing[=file]
Output timing data to standard error, or to file when given. This data contains two fields, separated by a space. The first field indicates how much time elapsed since the previous output. The second field indicates how many characters were output this time. This information can be used to replay typescripts with realistic typing and output delays.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Output help and exit.
The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).
Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file. Script works best with commands that do not manipulate the screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal.
The following environment variable is utilized by script:
SHELL If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automatically).
see also
csh(1) (for the history mechanism), scriptreplay(1).
The script command appeared in 3.0BSD.
Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects.
The script command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.

Source: Originally published on UNDP
Millions of people are not benefiting from progress, with the gap set to widen unless deep-rooted development barriers, including discrimination and unequal political participation, are tackled.
Stockholm – A quarter-century of impressive human development progress continues to leave many people behind, with systemic, often unmeasured, barriers to catching up. A stronger focus on those excluded and on actions to dismantle these barriers is urgently needed to ensure sustainable human development for all.
These are the findings of the 'Human Development Report 2016, entitled Human Development for Everyone', released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The report finds that although average human development improved significantly across all regions from 1990 to 2015, one in three people worldwide continue to live in low levels of human development, as measured by the Human Development Index.
"Leaving no one behind needs to become the way we operate as a global community. In order to overcome the barriers that hamper both human development and progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, inclusiveness must guide policy choices," said Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, speaking at the launch of the report in Stockholm today, alongside UNDP Administrator Helen Clark and the report's lead author and Director of the Human Development Report Office, Selim Jahan.
"The world has come a long way in rolling back extreme poverty, in improving access to education, health and sanitation, and in expanding possibilities for women and girls," said Helen Clark. "But those gains are a prelude to the next, possibly tougher challenge, to ensure the benefits of global progress reach everyone."
This is a concern in developed countries too, where poverty and exclusion are also a challenge, with over 300 million people – including more than one-third of all children – living in relative poverty.
Left behind and unable to catch up: systemic discrimination against women, indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, among others
The report notes that not only are deprivations high, but disadvantages disproportionately affect some groups.
"We place too much attention on national averages, which often mask enormous variations in people's lives," stated Selim Jahan. "In order to advance, we need to examine more closely not just what has been achieved, but also who has been excluded and why."
The report shows that in almost every country, several groups face disadvantages that often overlap and reinforce each other, increasing vulnerability, widening the progress gap across generations, and making it harder to catch up as the world moves on.
Women and girls, rural dwellers, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees, and the LGBTI community are among those systematically excluded by barriers that are not purely economic, but political, social and cultural as well.
In the case of women, the largest of these groups, the report notes that while global gender disparities are narrowing slowly, longstanding patters of exclusion and lack of empowerment for women and girls remain pressing challenges.
Women tend to be poorer, earn less, and have fewer opportunities in most aspects of life than men. In 100 countries, women are legally excluded from some jobs because of their gender, and in 18 countries, women need their husband's approval to work. Dangerous practices like female genital mutilation and forced marriage continue.
Populations living in rural areas also face multiple barriers. For instance, children from poor rural households attending school are less likely to be learning reading, writing and mathematics.
Moreover, migrants and refugees often face barriers to work, education and political participation and more than 250 million people in the world face discrimination on the basis of their ethnicity, the report notes among other examples.
It is time to face up to deep-rooted barriers to development
"By eliminating deep, persistent, discriminatory social norms and laws, and addressing the unequal access to political participation, which have hindered progress for so many, poverty can be eradicated and a peaceful, just, and sustainable development can be achieved for all," Helen Clark said.
Marginalized groups often have limited opportunities to influence the institutions and policies that determine their lives. Changing this is central to breaking the vicious circle of exclusion and deprivation.
For example, indigenous peoples account for five percent of the world's population, but 15 percent of people living in poverty. And members of the LGBTI community cannot actively advocate for their rights when same-sex acts between men are illegal in more than 70 countries.
The report calls for far greater attention to empowering the most marginalized in society, and recognizes the importance of giving them greater voice in decision-making processes.
The report also calls for a more refined analysis to inform actions, including making a shift toward assessing progress in such areas as participation and autonomy. Key data, disaggregated for characteristics such as place, gender, socioeconomic status and ethnicity, is vital to know who is being left behind.
Moreover, the report warns, key development metrics can overstate progress when they focus on the quantity, rather than the quality, of development. For instance, girls' enrolment in primary education has increased, but in half of 53 developing countries with data, the majority of adult women who completed four to six years of primary school are illiterate.
Human development for everyone is attainable
"Despite progress gaps, universal human development is attainable," said Selim Jahan. "Over the last decades, we have witnessed achievements in human development that were once thought impossible."
Since 1990, one billion people have escaped extreme poverty, and women's empowerment has become a mainstream issue: while as recently as the 1990s, very few countries legally protected women from domestic violence, today, 127 countries do.
The report stresses the importance of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to build on these gains, noting that the agenda and human development approach are mutually reinforcing.
The report includes recommendations to reorient policies to ensure progress reaches those furthest behind, and urges reforms of global markets and global institutions to make them more equitable and representative.

"beautiful little city, full of respectable and often elegant residences. It now wears, however, a deserted and melancholy appearance. Whole streets of tenantless buildings stretch from the landing to the intrenchments; and the few inhabitants who remain, although entirely unmolested and secure, look guilty and sullen. Some of our boys left the steamer Sunday, and, wandering about the town, took possession of the deserted choir of a secesh church, and one of our number being a good organist, and most of us having assisted before on such occasions, we did our best to convince those within hearing that, although belonging to the 'Northern rabble,' we were not altogether heathen and benighted."

Another great block with nice historical information. I am making them as 10 inch blocks and plan 2 5x6 block quilts with 4 corner star blocks. Hope they will be finished by April to enter in a local show. My quilt guild the
"Hampden Quilting Sisters" made a soldiers cot quilt reproduction using the uneven 9 patch block and authentic reproduction fabrics when possible. It will be displayed and then donated to the The Noble & Cooley Center for Historic Preservation (NCCHP) museum at the drum factory in Granville, MA. Civil war drums were made in this building and reproductions are still made here. - September 3, 2011 at 7:26 AM
One of my favorite blocks! I love the two examples you put at the bottom, too.

Cool block, like many I only knew it by being an album block.
My parents lived in Marion, Kentucky for about 3 years back in the late 80's in large 2 story home built by a riverboat captain 5years before the start of the civil war.It was always referred to in town as the boat house. That is were our families love of all things Civil War started.
I think I will have to make this as a tribute quilt to my Great, Great Grandfather Jared Cobb that fought for the Union as a young man throughout the entire war. - September 3, 2011 at 9:59 AM

Even by New England standards, this winter cold is brutal.
The storm that killed several people in the Midwest -- including a 12-year-old girl who died when a snow fort collapsed -- left a trail of dangerously cold weather in the Northeast.
Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo declared a state of emergency in Newport County overnight and activated the National Guard, after National Grid cut gas service to more than 7,000 residents.
"If you are impacted by the National Grid gas outages in Newport and lack heat, please find alternate shelter," she said on Twitter. "Tonight, will be one of the coldest nights of the year -- it's not safe to be in your home without heat."
In a message on its website, National Grid said it was "experiencing a low gas pressure situation" on Aquidneck Island, which is largely the city of Newport.
Raimondo said it may take more than a week for the company to restore service to all customers.
The freezing temperatures broke records in parts of New England.
Boston only reached a high of 10 degrees and the temperature only climbed to a high of 1 degree in Worcester, Massachusetts, according to the National Weather Service Boston.
Earlier on Monday, Worcester tied its record low temperature at negative 6 degrees. And frigid air "will continue to overspread New England today and tonight," the National Weather Service's Boston office said Monday.
Parts of New England will remain under a wind chill advisory through Wednesday morning as temperatures could feel like negative 5 to negative 20 degrees.
"Temperatures are going to moderate to be more average for this time of year. However, another big cold snap is going to move in for the weekend," said CNN meteorologist Michael Guy. "The waves of cold air will continue for the next two weeks."
Monday's deep freeze contributed to the hundreds of delayed or canceled flights Monday at Boston Logan International Airport, said Jennifer Mehigan, spokeswoman for Massachusetts Port Authority.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency encouraged residents to keep pets indoors, limit time outside, watch for signs of frostbite, check on neighbors and use alternative heat sources safely.
Swaths of New York are under a wind advisory until early Tuesday, with wind gusts expected to reach 50 mph, the National Weather Service's New York City office said.
"Temperatures in the low single digits and strong winds are combining for dangerous, life-threatening wind chills," the National Weather Service's Albany office said.
With the wind chill, the temperature dipped to negative 18 degrees in Albany and negative 7 degrees in Poughkeepsie, the NWS Albany said.
The cold temperatures even froze parts of Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada.
CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri said a secondary blast of cold air expected this weekend "has staying power."
It "could linger up to around the time for Super Bowl Sunday (February 3)," he said.
Girl dies after playing in a snowbank
The victims killed in the storm include a 12-year-old girl in llinois who died after a snowbank collapsed on top of her on Sunday, police said.
She had been playing with a 9-year-old girl outside a church when the fort they built collapsed on them, trapping them under the snow, Arlington police said. The 9-year-old girl was hospitalized and treated for hypothermia and is being held in the hospital for observation.
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, two men died shortly after they were removing snow, CNN affiliate WITI reported.
A 59-year-old man who was shoveling snow outside his home Sunday died, WITI reported. And a 91-year-old man who had used a snowblower was later found dead in his home, according to WITI.
In Middletown, Connecticut, a subcontractor for New England energy provider Eversource was finishing up repairs when a tree fell on top of him, killing him Sunday.
And in Missouri, a 30-year-old man died after losing control of his vehicle on a snow-covered road and driving into the path of another car.

In a world of 'kill or be killed', even predatory animals have evolved to hide signs of pain. This sometimes makes it very difficult for us to tell when our furry or feathered companions are in distress.
Certainly, when an animal has suffered a serious injury, the signs of pain are clear. However, for a lot of chronic conditions, the only indication may be subtle telltale signs or peculiar body language that you might or might not notice.
Today, veterinarians are able to manage pain in pet animals using several different approaches, including medical or surgical interventions, appropriate medications, diet, and judicious exercise.
During your pet's routine annual or semi-annual examinations, your veterinarian will be looking for little clues that your pet may be suffering needlessly.
One or more of the following five symptoms may be signs that your animal is in pain:
1. Housesoiling accidents – if an animal is normally housebroken and fastidious in its elimination habits, having accidents in the house can be an indication of a problem such as a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, a bowel disorder, arthritis, or other painful diseases. Animals with sore joints may not be able to maneuver the stairs, while animals with an inflammatory condition of an internal organ may experience 'urge incontinence', where the urge to eliminate comes on so suddenly that they are unable to control it.
2. Inactivity or decreased desire to exercise – a lack of desire to go for a walk is often an obvious sign of discomfort in dogs, but cats often will sleep more or spend more time sitting or lying around.
The most common cause of inactivity in animals is degenerative joint disease; pets with joint problems will be reluctant to climb stairs, play or exercise. Since degenerative joint disease is often an age related problem, we often assume that the inactivity is related to age rather than pain
3. Avoidance of petting or handling – if your pet avoids being picked up or petted, especially if your pet used to be a cuddler, it might mean that she feels pain when she is touched or handled in a certain part of her body, or that she is uncomfortable in general. The problem could be arthritis, tooth pain, ear pain, intestinal pain, nerve pain, etc.
4. Sudden weight change – pain can directly influence your pet's eating habits and thus its weight. An animal that is in pain may not be able to comfortably bend down to eat and will therefore lose weight through lack of calories.
Conversely, an animal that is reluctant to move because of pain may gain weight due to lack of exercise if it continues to eat the same amount of food.
5. Abnormal behavior at the food dish – a pet that acts hungry by going over to the food dish, but then drops food out of its mouth or suddenly stops eating and walks away may have something wrong in the mouth. In these cases, the most common problem is dental disease, which is estimated to afflict over 2/3 of dogs and cats over the age of 3.
Other problems that could cause this sort of symptom include oral tumors and foreign material such as sticks or hair trapped between or around the teeth. Symptoms of oral cavity disease also include weight loss, bad breath, or rubbing the face along the carpet or furniture.
In most households, our pets are part of the family. Simply by being aware of what is normal for your pet, and observing when there are abnormal changes in habits or behavior, you can help ensure that your pet leads a happy life that is free of pain.
If you notice any of the above symptoms, contact us as soon as you can to arrange an appointment with your veterinarian.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Video conferencing provider Zoom (ZM.O) plans to strengthen encryption of video calls hosted by paying clients and institutions such as schools, but not by users of its free consumer accounts, a company official said on Friday.

The company, whose business has boomed with the coronavirus pandemic, discussed the move on a call with civil liberties groups and child-sex abuse fighters on Thursday, and Zoom security consultant Alex Stamos confirmed it on Friday.
In an interview, Stamos said the plan was subject to change and it was not yet clear which, if any, nonprofits or other users, such as political dissidents, might qualify for accounts allowing more secure video meetings.
He added that a combination of technological, safety and business factors went into the plan, which drew mixed reactions from privacy advocates.
Zoom has attracted millions of free and paying customers amid the pandemic, in part because users could join a meeting – something that now happens 300 million times a day – without registering.
But that has allowed opportunities for troublemakers to slip into meetings, sometimes after pretending to be invitees.
Gennie Gebhart, a researcher with the Electronic Frontier Foundation who was on Thursday's call, said she hoped Zoom would change course and offer protected video more widely.
But Jon Callas, a technology fellow of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the strategy seemed a reasonable compromise.
Safety experts and law enforcement have warned that sexual predators and other criminals are increasingly using encrypted communications to avoid detection.
"Those of us who are doing secure communication believe we need to do things about the real horrible stuff," said Callas, who previously sold paid encryption services.
"Charging money for end-to-end encryption is a way to get rid of the riff-raff."
Zoom hired Stamos and other experts after a series of security failures led some institutions to ban its use. Last week Zoom released a technical paper on its encryption plans, without saying how widely they would reach.
"At the same time that Zoom is trying to improve security, they are also significantly upgrading their trust and safety," said Stamos, a former chief security officer at Facebook.
"The CEO is looking at different arguments. The current plan is paid customers plus enterprise accounts where the company knows who they are."
Full encryption for every meeting would leave Zoom's trust and safety team unable to add itself as a participant in gatherings to tackle abuse in real time, Stamos added.
An end-to-end model, which means no one but the participants and their devices can see and hear what is happening, would also have to exclude people who call in from a telephone line.
From a business perspective, it is hard to earn money when offering a sophisticated and expensive encryption service for free. Facebook is planning to fully encrypt Messenger, but it earns enormous sums from its other services.
Other providers of encrypted communication either charge business users or act as nonprofits, such as the makers of Signal.
Zoom is also dealing with regulators such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which is looking into its previous claims about encryption that have been criticized as exaggerated or false, said Stamos and another person familiar with the matter.
With the Justice Department and some members of Congress condemning strong encryption, Zoom could draw unwanted new attention through a major expansion in that area, privacy experts said.

Chapter 1
Thursday, October 29
T minus 48 hours 'til blastoff
College Row, New Brunswick, Massachusetts
Because women are not frickin' groomsmen! That's why she can't be in the goddamn wedding!"
As Anne Ashburn walked in the back door of the shotgun apartment, that happy little explosion was not only what she'd expected all along, it also offered her the out she'd been praying for. And it was probably the one and only time she was ever going to agree with the bride.
Not about the role of females in bridal parties, but that Anne wasn't going to be in the "goddamn wedding."
Everyone standing in the kitchen turned and looked at her: Deandra Cox, the impending wearer of the white dress; Robert "Moose" Miller, her exhausted fiancé and Anne's fellow crew member down at the 499 firehouse; and . . . Dannyboy Maguire.
Who was the only one she really noticed and, for that reason, the person she refused to look at.
Too bad Danny always made an impression. Like most firefighters, he was in great physical shape, his big body thickly muscled and ready to snap into motion in an instant. With his heavy arms linked over that chest and his long legs crossed at the boots, he was leaning back against the chipped countertop, his too-blue stare missing nothing. He was fresh from a shower, his glossy black hair wet, and Anne tried not to picture him naked under the spray, his tattooed torso arching as he rinsed the shampoo out of his—
She put her hands up to stop herself as much as the argument. "Look, I don't want to cause any problems. I'm happy to step aside—"
"And now I have one too many bridesmaids." The bride-to-be refocused on her intended. "My count is wrong. You wait until two days before the wedding to tell me this when you know I'm not going to like it, and now my count is off!"
As the groom focused on the linoleum floor, it was impossible not to picture a wax version of the couple on a multi-tiered cake: Deandra in skinny jeans and that tight cashmere sweater, her dark hair streaked blond, her body cocked forward like she was going to throat-punch the man she was going to marry; Moose in his New Brunswick Fire Department T-shirt, all broad-shouldered and bearded around the face, easing back like someone with the flu was about to sneeze in his face.
Ah, true love.
"I didn't think it was a big deal," Moose muttered. "Anne's a member of the four-nine-nine crew, and everyone else is with me."
"She's a girl." Deandra pointed at Anne. "It throws off everything."
"I really don't want to cause any problems." Anne put her hands up again. "So I'll just be in the congregation. It's perfectly fine—"
Deandra's glare swung Anne's way. "The count is still wrong. And my friends have already paid for their dresses. They were a hundred and twenty dollars apiece."
And that's my cue to go, Anne thought. Moose may have volunteered for this, but no one else had or needed to—
"I think women can be whatever they want."
As Danny spoke up, everyone looked at him—including Anne, who suddenly felt shades of what Deandra was throwing out.
Don't you dare, she mouthed at him behind the bride's back.
Danny just shrugged like he'd thrown on a pantsuit and was channeling Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton all at once. "I mean, Deandra, you're above all that sexism, aren't you? No one's going to tell you what's right and wrong for your own wedding. You're more secure than that."
I am going to kill you, Anne vowed. "I think Deandra wants things done properly for her only wedding."
Danny frowned in pseudo-confusion. "So you're saying it's okay to have a double standard for men and women? That's a shocker given how you are at the station. I thought you believed in equality."
"I do," Anne snapped. "But this isn't about equality."
"You sure? I don't know how you can support traditional gender roles when it comes to a wedding ceremony at the same time you defend the right for women to be firefighters, cops, and on the front lines in the military."
"Spare me someone who's never been in a dress having an opinion about women's issues, okay?"
"I'm just pointing out that you don't want women out of dresses."
"It's her wedding." Anne jabbed a finger at Deandra. "She's the bride. She gets to say what's right and wrong for her, and she does not need some man telling her what to do."
"Even if I'm defending the rights of women?"
"Until you grow a set of ovaries, you can shut the hell up about our rights!"
As Anne's voice ricocheted around the kitchen, she realized that she'd marched right up to Danny—and that Deandra and Moose were watching the two of them in total stillness.
She cleared her throat and took a step back. "Anyway, Deandra's made up her mind. And I support her decision."
Deandra's eyes narrowed on Danny, and something about the way the woman looked at him didn't seem right.
"Actually," the bride said, "maybe she should be in the wedding party."
Anne prayed her expression stayed neutral. "Don't compromise your vision on my account."
"I won't." The woman stared at Danny. "Fine. Let's put her in a tuxedo like the rest of the men. She can walk my sister down the aisle, just like a man should. Her shoulders are too big for a gown, anyway, and that way my count stays the way it should."
Anne rolled her eyes. Let's hear it for girl power.
"So it's settled," Deandra said with a tight smile. "You need a tux. Unless you already own one."
For a moment, Anne waited for somebody to argue with the woman. Like Moose. But he was clearly done falling on swords over the wedding details, and Danny had just gotten what he wanted so he wasn't going to say a damn thing.
And the truth was, after how many years of fighting fires with these men, they were her brothers in all but blood. Even though she thought Moose had lost his ever-loving mind marrying this beautiful but sour woman after knowing her for a matter of months, Anne was still going to stand up for the guy if he wanted her to—and he did. He'd asked her down at the stationhouse specifically.
"Where did you guys rent your suits?" Anne said to him.
"Tuxedoes," Deandra corrected.
The groom blinked like he'd forgotten how to speak English. Then again, he'd been doing that a lot at the firehouse lately. "You're actually going to wear one?"
"What the hell do I care?"
"Yes, she is wearing one," Deandra cut in.
Danny spoke up. "I'll go with you. I know where the place is."
* * *
Danny Maguire prepared for a death ray to get sent in his direction, and man, did he call that one. Anne's eyes were like the sights of a pair of sniper rifles trained on him, and he was surprised that his skull and the cabinets behind him didn't vaporize on impact.
Then again, Anne had always had that effect on him. From the moment she'd walked into the open bay of the 499 two years ago, she had gotten his attention—and not just because she was the younger sister of the New Brunswick fire chief, Thomas Ashburn, Jr. Even as a newbie fresh out of the academy, she had had a confidence and competence that had been intimidating.
And then they'd started working scenes together.
Anne was his favorite partner on a charged line because there was never any question what she was going to do or where she was going to be. They thought the same, reacted the same, moved in sync.
He could always read her mind.
Like right now? She was castrating him, throwing his balls down the disposal in the sink and hitting the switch.
"Just tell me which place it is," she gritted out at Moose.
Leaving that question hanging in the breeze, Danny straightened off the counter and headed for the back door. Outside, her Subaru Outback was parked next to his truck and he went around and got in its passenger seat.
