Anthony Gambrill | The Dawkins family haunted by its slave-owning past
The rise of the Dawkins family from lowly Jamaican overseers to affluent members of the British Parliament is not unique to our history. It took three generations and greatly benefited from the marriage of Henry Dawkins to the daughter of Edward Pennant, ultimately elevating it to the ranks of the island's wealthiest landowners, which included the legendary Beckfords and Charles Price of Worthy Park.
Reputedly born in humble circumstances in Leicestershire, William Dawkins emigrated to the island taking a post of estate overseer shortly after the British occupation. Several members of his family joined him, acquiring 1,775 acres across the years between 1669 and 1682. He was a lieutenant for the Clarendon militia, but in 1694 lost his life fighting the French invaders at Carlisle Bay.
The first-time generations of Dawkins gradually accumulated 25,000 acres in Clarendon, Vere (now Manchester) St Andrew, St Catherine, St Elizabeth, St Mary and Thomas-in-the-Vale (now St Catherine). As they progressed over the years, the Dawkins men were to play a role in Jamaican politics, representing the Assembly and the Council of Jamaica, as well as serving in parish militia, all of which would have enhanced opportunity to acquire land.
It was Henry Dawkins who married Elizabeth Pennant, daughter of the chief justice, whose fourth child, also named Henry, was to climb up the ranks of the island's plantocracy, particularly with the early deaths of his brothers, William and James, in the middle of the 18th century.
At the time of his death, Henry Dawkins owned plantations across seven parishes already mentioned, many with names of districts still familiar today like Trout Hall, Parnassus, Treadway and Dawkins Pen, Caymanas.
His son, another Henry, was to become an absentee owner, moving to England in 1759, although it was in the same year that he had been appointed to the Council of Jamaica.
In November 1659, he married Lady Juliana Colyear, and next year was elected member of parliament for Southampton, the seat vacated by Anthony Swymmer, absentee member of the West Indian plantocracy, on his death. He held the seat for eight years, the seat for Chippenham for nine years, and a third parliamentary seat for four years. According to the record, he never gave a speech in Parliament! However, he became a member of a lobbying group, the Society of West Indies and Planters and Merchants, opposed to the termination of the Caribbean slave trade and abolition.
He invested his wealth in transforming a Palladium villa at Standlynch in Wiltshire to an elegant classical country home, adding a north and south wing, a library, an imposing portico and a pavillion. Doric columns and sculpted ceilings adorned the building. On his death in 1814, he was said to be one of the wealthiest men in Britain. On his death, Standlynch Park was purchased by the government and presented to Earl Nelson, the brother of Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lost his life in his service to the nation against Napoleon Bonaparte. Earl Nelson made the point to Parliament that what was an earl without an estate? Eventually Parliament agreed to purchase Standlynch as a permanent tribute to Horatio Nelson, requiring that it be renamed Trafalgar Park.
Although Henry Dawkins was buried on a family plantation in 1744, his remains and those of his wife, Elizabeth, were reinterred along with those of his father's in St Paul's Anglican Church in Clarendon in 1922. Their gravestones can still be seen beneath the carpeted central aisle.
Upon Emancipation, Dawkins' heirs were awarded a share of 10,000 pounds for the slaves of two estates in Trelawny. They continued to prosper in Britain and their last Jamaican property was only sold off 90 years ago.
Three of Henry's sons had entered Parliament and fought strenuously against the abolition of slavery. Before it was abolished, his brother, George Hay Dawkins Pennant, signed a circular which emphasised that "the speedy annihilation of slavery would be attended with devastation of the West Indian Colonies ... with inevitable distress and misery to the black population".
The Dawkinses' past came to haunt them in 2012 when the British press took aim at Richard Dawkins, who was railing against the evils of religion, superstition, intolerance and suffering. When his ancestral past was revealed, he said that it had nothing to do with him. He argued "that probably about one in 512 of my genes comes from Henry Dawkins".
To this, Esther Stanford-Xosei, a vice-chairman of the Pan-African Reparations Committee in Europe, responded, "There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity."

I just setup a new Dell computer running Windows 7 64-bit copied over the data using Microsoft's Easy Transfer then installed Microsoft Office 2007. However, now when opening an existing Excel 2007 spreadsheet, Excel appears to hang for over a minute before any changes can be made.
Are there specific settings that need to be mande to ensure that Excel 2007 will respond normally? Word and Outlook both appear to be working fine and responding well.
One note, I did find that one of the two spreadsheets affected was being saved in the Excel 97-2003 format and I updated, thinking that it could have been the problem. However, both continue to be problematic. For reference, one of the spreadsheets just has data (no formulas, etc) and the other has a number of formulas, primarily =SUM.
Any help would be appreciated.

You grab some fresh flowers while shopping....
You just had wrapped flowers delivered to you...
How do I make them last?
Here are some tip and tricks that we use at our flower shop, Bank of Memories & Flowers.
Tip Number One: Have fresh, room temperature water ready in a clean vase. Add a few drops of bleach to the water. This will slow the process of bacteria growing in the water.
Tip Number Two: Remove all foliage/leaves from the flower stem that will be under water. Having foliage/leaves under the water level will result in fast bacteria growth. Leaves will be come mushy within days.
Tip Number Four: After you have designed your flowers, do not place your flowers in a sunny area, draft, on top of a TV, near a heating vent or left in a car.
Tip Number Five: If you really want them to last (this means the difference between 5 days and 2 weeks)...replace the water (like Tip One) and re-cut the stems every other day.
Give this a try and tell me what you think. You will be amazed! Some of my customers have reported that their flowers have lasted 3 weeks or more.
*Note: Some flower variety last longer then others. Carnations, daises and altroemeria are naturally longer lasting compared to gerbera daises and dahlias.

To get an idea who is benefiting most from president Trump's policies, including from the roaring stock market, look at this first from the Daily Mail news site in Britain:
Tracking statistics from the moving company United Van Lines indicate that Americans are still heading west, while parts of the Northeast and Midwest are losing people.
On Tuesday the suburban St. Louis-based moving company released its 41st annual National Movers Study, which tracks customers' state-to-state migration patterns.
Three of the top four destination states are in the West including Oregon, Idaho and Nevada.
Tracking statistics from the moving company United Van Lines indicate that Americans are still heading west, while parts of the Northeast and Midwest are losing people
… At the other end of the spectrum is Illinois, which had the highest percent of outbound moves, 63 percent, followed by New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
Idaho is swiftly becoming the fastest-growing state in the union and is apparently the fourth-cheapest cost of living in the country, reported The Washington Post.
This is noteworthy because it reinforces a pattern – once again Americans are fleeing the most liberal states including Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, which have withered under decades of Democrat mis-rule.
These Americans have been going by the tens of millions over the last 50 years to conservative states, first in the South and now in the West. Idaho is one of the most conservative states in the country.
But you would think that liberals, including retirees, would stay in the liberal states and shun the conservative states since they hate conservatives, right?
Yes, but it does not work that way since liberals are hypocrites in everything they do. Liberals have been fleeing liberal states since the 1970s and running to conservative low-tax and low-regulation states like Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Arizona. Because liberals have no conscience or principles. They go wherever they can have the easiest life, even when it is a conservative state.
On the other hand we very rarely see conservative people from the South or from Idaho moving to liberal states. Conservative Southerners detest the 'Yankees' and would never move to a liberal northern state in the way that liberals have moved to the South by the tens of millions.
But the really big story in this commentary concerns the way that liberals hate president Trump while benefiting massively from Trump's leadership just as liberals hate conservatives but are moving to conservative states in huge numbers.
In fact the majority of the people benefiting most from the energized Trump Economy are Democrats since "rich" and upper-income people are benefiting most. And an overwhelming majority of these people and The Top 1% in America today are liberal and leftist Democrats. This contradicts a long-promoted media narrative that all of the wealthy people in America are "rich Republicans".
False. The three richest men in America today – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett – all are very liberal and even leftist. Their combined personal wealth is close to $300 billion. Bezos owns Amazon and the Trump-hating Washington Post newspaper.
Others in the Top 10 are Democrats, leftists and Trump haters like Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook); Michael Bloomberg (Bloomberg News); and Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google). It is being reported that almost all of the campaign contributions in 2016 from Silicon Valley went to Hillary Clinton.
In the same vein almost all of the richest congressional districts in the US are represented in Congress by hard-left Democrats like Nancy Pelosi (suburban San Francisco); Zoe Lofgren and Ro Khanna (Silicon Valley and environs); Carolyn Maloney (Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City); Ted Lieu (California's wealthy 33rd congressional district on the coast of Los Angeles); Jan Schakowsky (Evanston, Illinois, north of Chicago); Jim Himes (Connecticut's 4th congressional district including super-chic Darien, Fairfield and Greenwich); and others.
Many or most of the super-rich people running the New York hedge funds and investment banks on Wall Street are left-wingers, including friends of the Clintons. The two top figures on Wall Street, Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon, are big-time Democrat contributors. And of course 98% of the wealthy celebrities, actors, producers and directors in Hollywood are liberals.
These rich people are getting even wealthier off of Trump's roaring stock market and surging economy. They have investments in hedge funds and stocks, or they own or run businesses and corporations that are doing well under the Trump Economy.
Their high home values are increasing fastest, as are the value of their artworks and other possessions like jewelry and car collections and swanky second and third homes in places like Aspen and Florida.
These wealthy leftists are pumping billions of their new dollars into the arts by buying paintings and sculptures, donating to the symphony, commissioning expensive designer homes, buying designer clothes, etc.
Yet the arts themselves are composed 97% of Trump haters. So as the arts thrive they lash out at the hand that is feeding them.
In 1998 a retired art professor at an elite college told me that his pension account was worth $1 million. He had retired after just 30 years. Today that would be $2 million or more and growing rapidly under Trump. And this guy is a liberal who hates Trump.
These artsy people should all be worshiping president Trump after incomes in the arts dropped precipitously under Obama. Many arts organizations shrunk or closed their doors under Obama.
Thus since most rich people are liberals then we can conclude that most of the people getting rich off of president Trump are people who hate Trump.
Yet we will never hear a single peep from these people about how much money they are making and how gleeful they are (in private, of course) that this is happening. We only will hear minute-by-minute condemnation of the president, which is part of their hypocritical personas.
So who else is doing well under Trump?
Answer: Anyone who has a private retirement account that is invested in the stock market, since businesses and the stock market are thriving and will continue to do so as long as president Trump's policies are in effect. This includes a large percentage of Americans
This especially applies to tens of millions of well-educated liberal-leftist upper middle class baby boomers who have high incomes (doctors, architects, lawyers, engineers, businesspeople, software engineers, investment advisers, etc.). They despise president Trump but are seeing big spikes in their wealth as a result of Trump's leadership. Nikitas3.com has personally witnessed these people tracking Wall Street obsessively every day while claiming that they are humble people who "care about" everyone else. Baloney. They are totally out for themselves. After all, they are liberals.
One middle-class group that is benefitting most from the Trump presidency is unionized public school teachers who are overwhelmingly on the Trump-hating left. Their pension fund stock portfolios are going through the roof.
And while environmentalists urge those pension funds to divest themselves from oil company stocks, they never will and for darned good reason; these stocks are helping to enrich retired teachers who then give their campaign contributions to Democrats, who hate the oil companies, and also to the Sierra Club (ditto). Teacher union pension funds are some of the biggest single holders of oil company stocks in the US.
Nikitas3.com suggests that rich liberals turn over all of their newfound wealth to lower-income conservatives like Nikitas3.com to help us with our daily bills. After all we helped to elect Trump, who is making these ungrateful skunks rich.
When you hear or read about these liberals crying about president Trump, remember that it is all crocodile tears. They are crying all the way to the bank like the professional actors that they are.

By Scott Bolthouse—Hub Editor
Two men were arrested Feb. 14 after Huron Township Police caught them red-handed as they stole five dirt bikes from a home in the 19100 block of Merriman Road.
It all started at about 5 a.m. when a call came into Huron dispatch reporting a suspicious vehicle in the area of Merriman Road, said Everette Robbins, director of public safety.
When police arrived, they found Detroit resident James Kerr, 28, hiding behind a tree, with a stolen dirt bike laying on the ground about 10 feet away.
Officers then found a Buick, belonging to one of the thieves, parked about 25 yards northeast with a dirt bike hanging out of its trunk.
K-9 units from Huron Township and Trenton Police Department responded and assisted with a search of the area for more suspects, as well as evidence.
The K-9 track led to the recovery of three more dirt bikes in the wood line approximately 75 yards east of the Buick.
As officers continued to search the area, a second suspected, Ecorse resident Brandon Mullins, 25, was located in the wood line near Sibley and Middlebelt Road.
Mullins was dressed in all black clothing, and forensic evidence collected at the scene by the evidence technician unit was matched to him.
"This arrest was the result of a resident being vigilant and calling the police to report something that looked out of place. I am thankful that the resident took the time to report what did not look right to them, it is the true meaning of community partnerships," Robbins said.
Police were able to locate the homeowner that owned the five dirt bikes and returned them to him.
A second home in the area was also broken into during the same time frame. Multiple tools and a dirt bike were taken from that home that were not recovered.
The investigation is ongoing, Robbins said, as police believe that the men made multiple trips to the area throughout the nighttime hours.
"Something that really stands out in this case is the great work of our Evidence Technician Unit. This is a dedicated group of officers who volunteer to be called in from home if needed for an investigation. In this case, they responded and collected immediate on-scene forensic evidence that was matched to a suspect walking in the woods just minutes after their arrival. Without that immediate evidence, we may have not been able to immediately match our second suspect to the crime scene. Their importance to our department and community cannot be overstated; I appreciate their expertise and efforts," Robbins said.
RELATED: Police department adds evidence tech unit to its force
Robbins said that both men are allegedly responsible for several other break-ins that have occurred in the area as of late.
"We believe that this group is responsible for several breaking and entering cases that have victimized our residents. Hopefully they will receive the justice they deserve and it will serve notice to thieves that our community and police department work well together to make this a safer place to live."
Both were arraigned in court and charged with breaking and entering, a ten year felony, receiving and concealing stolen property, a five year felony, and larceny from a building, a four year felony.
Both also received habitual offender second offense notices and are being held in the Wayne County Jail on $20,000 bonds.
"I want to once again remind our residents that, unfortunately, incidents like this occur no matter where you live. Our crime statistics are much lower than most areas because of the valuable combination of vigilant residents and a determined group of hard working police officers and detectives. We appreciate the community's patience and support when incidents like these arise as well as their confidence in us that we will use every resource we can to bring people that victimize our residents to justice," Robbins said.

343 Industries will strive for multiplayer balance.
Posted By Pramath | On 22nd, Mar. 2015 Under News | Follow This Author @Pramath1605
The Halo 5: Guardians beta is now done, and 343 Industries has access to all of the data that it generated. Specifically, they now know which of their map designs work, which don't, which weapons are overpowered, which are underpowered, how players react to Spartan abilities, and so on.
And they are going to be using this data to make sure that the game is balanced when it eventually launches. For them, you see, these beta tests aren't about infrastructure or stress testing (well not primarily)- it was more about gathering real world data for balancing purposes.
"While betas are useful for stress-testing, what we were really looking for was different views,"Josh Holmes, Halo 5's executive producer, told OXM. "We particularly focused on how players interacted with the new Spartan Abilities, and anecdotal feedback on how they used them. We were also interested in their experiences of the map layouts – particularly, in how they flowed and how people moved around them."
And how has this data helped them so far? "It's important for the primary weapons to be perfectly balanced, so each gun is as effective as it's supposed to be within its own engagement zone," said Holmes. "With secondary weapons however, there's a lot more flexibility for us to play with the balancing… we want these to be cool things that you want to scrap to get control of."
"Internally, the Hydra is one of the most divisive weapons in the whole game," laughed Holmes. "Some of us love the trick shots, others aren't so sure. It's still up for discussion. The idea behind making the gulf so wide is that we wanted it to be a meaningful choice," he explained. "We wanted it to be substantial enough that you'd be willing to give up your weapons and ability to regenerate just to sprint. But in practice the difference was too much. We want to rein it in to make it easier for pursuing players to track their prey."
The question, now, is, will they manage to balance the weapons properly? Or will the balances require further balancing? One can only hope 343 will get it completely right this time around. I am personally keeping my fingers crossed.

I find that all too often, college students let the fear of failure stop them from trying to begin with. Our college years probably hold the greatest potential for personal growth, but that growth gets stunted without taking the necessary risks.
I think we as humans all have parts of ourselves that are strengths that have been forged from the fires of failure. Perhaps that's why I was so drawn to a particular three word phrase when I first encountered it on social media.
The phrase simply read "destined to fail." It has a somber ring to it, a haunting simplicity. It's a truth that I think society tries to mask, but it's a bitter reality nonetheless.
The fear of failure is a cancer we are all born with. We all have different treatments and different therapies, yet the disease always manifests itself in one form or another.
My entire life has been plague with shortcomings, both self-percieved and real. This goes for everyone I'm sure. I've never felt attractive, I've never felt accepted, and I've never felt good enough. If I surveyed people around me, I think I'd get a lot of similar thoughts.
For college students, opportunities are boundless. With each new day comes new challenges, and with every week comes new tests. Sometimes, with the right amount of preparation, our troubles can be conquered. Other times, however, there just really isn't a way to prepare for what life throws our way.
Failure is an inevitable feature of life. We shouldn't let the chances of falling short prevent us from realizing our full potential. If you don't struggle, you don't test yourself to see how far you can really go, or find out what you are truly capable of achieving. Toughness is not what you can handle before you break, it's how man times you can break before you quit.
Maintaining a positive mental attitude is one of the greatest ways to be successful. There is a little voice that exists in everyone that tells us that we are destined to fail. While that may actually be factual, it's all about how you choose to handle that reality.
If you are going through a period of difficulty in life, just remember that your attitude is one of the biggest weapons you have in your fight against failure. After all, life truly is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Irkutsk, circumming the Baikal, and Listvyanka
My first overnight stop after Mongolia was Irkutsk, the usual jumping off point for exploring Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world.
I toured around town on the first day. Unlike Naushki, Irkutsk is less than 50% rundown, and there are some beautiful old wood buildings still standing. Also some churches, one of which I went inside to find beautifully painted ceilings, including some paintings of bird-people: the body of a bird with a human head. Very creepy.
On my second day, I did some errands.. getting Russian train tickets is fairly complicated if you don't speak Russian, since the station staff are really unhelpful. I finally found a way, which is to buy them online via the Russian Railways website. They give you an e-ticket number that can be exchanged for a real ticket at the station, and all you have to say is "bilet elektronika." Visiting the pharmacy was also fun. I don't think the pharmacist figured out I didn't understand Russian. I think she just thought I was stupid. She sold me what I wanted though, which is all that really matters, and I've since learned how to say "I don't speak Russian" in Russian.
This is all a bit of a change.. in the rest of Asia, my skin colour made it obvious that I wasn't a local even before I opened my mouth. Here, it's more like being in the non-English speaking parts of Europe, where you're assumed to speak the language until proven otherwise.
Actually, it feels a lot like Europe in other ways: the products you find in supermarkets, the way traffic actually follows laws, and just the general vibe of the place. Makes sense.. Siberians are Europeans who just happen to live in Asia :)
Anyway, yesterday I set out to finally see Lake Baikal… the slow and scenic way. I took a local train (elektrishka) back along the Trans-Siberian to Sludyanka, then changed to a small diesel-powered train the locals call the "matanya", which means dangling. The reason for this is that it serves a very small branch line dangling off the Trans-Siberian called the Circumbaikal Railway. It used to be part of the Trans-Siberian until the 50s, when a dam raised the level of the Angara River and flooded the Port Baikal to Irkutsk section. The Trans-Siberian now runs along a more direct route to Irkutsk that bypasses Port Baikal, leaving it with only a few "matanya" trains a week.
The matanya left Sludyanka at 13:30 and soon turned onto the Circumbaikal. It was a slow ride, averaging less than 10 km/h, through lots of stone tunnels built at the turn of the century. The views of Baikal were spectacular! It's big enough that it looks like the edge of the ocean, but calmer and without tides.
6 hours after we left, the matanya poked its way into Port Baikal, the end of the line. I got off the train and discovered that the schedules I'd found online were wrong and there were no more ferries to Listvyanka. I was contemplating spending the night in Port Baikal's only hotel, but then met a Russian named Sergei who spoke a little English and also wanted to reach Listvyanka (and then get home by road) that night. He found a local who ferried us across the Angara River in a very small inflatable boat for 200 roubles (about $7) each. I then walked for about an hour to Listvyanka proper while he looked for a ride the opposite direction to Irkutsk.
I checked into my hostel and discovered that there was nobody else staying in the dorms… so I had a cheap 5 bed private room :) I was considering going for a swim in Lake Baikal despite its water being about 5°C (it's so big that it never really warms up) but it was cold in Listvyanka and cold in my hostel room so I left it for the next morning. Also, I had arrived too late to use the hostel's banya (sauna).. it takes 2 hours to warm up and it was after 22:00 by the time I asked to use it.
This morning I woke up reasonably early to find it cold and pouring rain. OK, no swimming in Lake Baikal for me. I dipped my toes in (yes, definitely cold) and filled up my water bottle, then caught the bus back to Irkutsk, stopping off in Talsty to see the Museum of Wooden Architecture.
And now I'm on a train again, heading to Krasnoyarsk. Currently only 9122km to London, and I've passed the point of no return: even if an emergency calls me home sooner than August 2, it's faster and cheaper to continue journeying west rather than crossing the Pacific again. Yay round the world trip!

China 7: Chengdu
On the way back to Beijing, I stopped in Chengdu for 24h to see the pandas…
Giant pandas are endangered, mostly because of habitat destruction, and there are active attempts to breed them in captivity. Chengdu is home to the research centre where most of this takes place.
Now that I've seen them, I think the biggest problem with giant pandas is that they're depressed. They sit around all day doing nothing, it's hard to interest them in mating, they only eat a food (bamboo) that they can't properly digest… I think the researchers should add some prozac to their bamboo and see what happens!
…or not.
(I was in Chengdu on June 20. I'm currently in Irkutsk.. it's not just a place in Risk!)
9800km to London
I'm on train 363 from Ulaanbaatar to Irkutsk, exactly 9800km (by the route I'm following) from London. This is a 36 hour train ride, including several hours at each of the Mongolian and Russian border stations. I got off the train for a few hours at Naushki, the Russian border station, while they spent over 2 hours shunting carriages back and forth for no apparent reason. Not much to see or do there though.
The car is a very new Russian 2nd class (Kupe) unit. Much nicer than Chinese train cars.. for one thing, the beds convert into really comfortable seats with cushioned backs and lumbar support. Still no power for my laptop, but I've spent so much time sleeping, chatting, and looking out the window that I've barely used it anyway.
So far Russia is scenic but a bit rundown. For example, we just passed a few broken concrete power poles. They've replaced the poles, but the old ones are just lying there, and it looks like they've been there for years. Naushki had lots of rundown Soviet-era buildings and parks full of litter.
Hey, one hour to Ulaan-Ude, where we stop for 46 minutes… time enough to see the world's largest Lenin head!
(Written July 5.)
More Tibet photos
I've finished uploading my Tibet photos.. in this batch: more prayer flags, more mountains, more better.
Here's the entire set sorted by date.
(I was in Tibet from May 28 – June 15, 2010. I'm currently in Ulaanbaatar, leaving for Irkutsk in 2 hours.)
Here & gone…
I'm back in Ulaanbaatar briefly.. the first part of the tour was great, the second part was OK, but the trip home involved an unplanned 8h stop in the middle of nowhere and an overnight in Rashaant.
My train is in a few hours and I have some errands to do, but I'll post more if I have the chance. If not… talk to you when I get to Irkutsk!
Also: happy birthday to Mom, whose birthday happened while I was away!

Women of Influence
Story By Kate Hannah
In her 1929 essay A Room of One's Own Virginia Woolf famously wrote, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
Woolf limited her observation to fiction, the need for the right practical and intellectual toolkit for success (that is financial stability and personal autonomy) rings true for most successful women. The Westpac Women of Influence Awards, one of Westpac Bank's contributions to supporting and developing inspiring leadership across a variety of sectors, are a way in which women have the opportunity to have more than just the tools required for autonomy and success. They also give women a real sense of a like-minded peer group.
The MacDiarmid Institute had four investigators placed as finalists in the Science and Innovation category for 2014: MacDiarmid Director Professor Kate McGrath, Principal Investigator Dr Nicola Gaston, Associate Investigator Distinguished Professor Margaret Brimble CNZM, FRSNZ, and Associate Investigator Dr Michelle Dickinson. The women were nominated and selected as finalists not only due to the excellence of their science—a given for any MacDiarmid investigator—but also for their contribution to profiling and promoting science. Professor McGrath reflected on a busy 12 months, highlighted by the successful re-bidding for Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) funding for the MacDiarmid Institute saying, "It is nice to have at least one of the CoREs funded in the 2013/14 round led by a woman." The importance of having examples of female leadership is heightened by the current profile of the physical sciences in New Zealand and internationally; amongst the number of MacDiarmid Institute principal investigators 22 percent are women, while in the associate investigator cohort this number reduces to only 17 percent.
Distinguished Professor Brimble, whose work was internationally recognised in 2007 when she became the first New Zealander to receive the L'Oreal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science, was delighted to be announced as Westpac's Woman of Influence in Science and Innovation in 2014. Brimble sees this achievement, and the award of New Zealand's top science honour, the Rutherford Medal, as a culmination of many years of pioneering work as a woman of science. Being recognised as a world-class leader in New Zealand cemented for her that the efforts she has made as a senior woman in the physical sciences have been worth it. "It is hard to juggle all the calls upon one's time—teaching, research, outreach, doing commercial work, representing NZ on international organisations like UNESCO, and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and helping to establish the Rutherford Foundation to support early career scientists—but being the Westpac Woman of Influence in Science and Innovation in 2014 is recognition, for me, of the value of attempting to juggle these things in order to try to make a real difference for science in NZ."
Dr Dickinson, better known to children around New Zealand, as well as Twitter users and the world as 'Nanogirl', sees her finalist status as a reflection of the work she has done in developing the nanomechanical lab at the University of Auckland, and in prioritising outreach: "I want kids to know that you don't have to fit the stereotype— you can be a fun young woman in science or engineering, fixing things and solving problems." Being a finalist makes the hard work worthwhile she explains: "It reminds you that you're part of a movement of strong, influential women making a change from within."
Dr Gaston's year has seen her take on the role of President of the New Zealand Association of Scientists, and lead conversations nationally about the processes surrounding the development and establishment of the National Science Challenges, the proposed revised Code of Conduct for Scientists in New Zealand, and sexism in science. Gaston says, "Of course this [the nomination] has to be about scientific achievement," going on to point out her slight reservations about the word 'influence', "It worries me that it is a gendered word. Is this the only kind of power women can aspire to have?"
In the context of this concern, it is interesting, even revealing, that the most notable aspect of the Westpac Woman of Influence event for those who attended the ceremony was not the nomination, or the speeches, or even the prospect of winning or not winning. Instead, as Professor McGrath explained, "It was lovely, and so very rare, as a woman in the physical sciences, to be in a room filled with women, at an event dedicated to celebrating women's achievements." Dr Dickinson echoed this sentiment saying, "What I loved about this year was that when I looked about the room, I knew all the women in my category—at least by reputation—and many of them are people who have inspired me or mentored me." Similarly, Distinguished Professor Brimble described a sense of satisfaction, even contentment, when she lined up to have her photograph taken with the other category winners, "There we were, women, all feeling humbled by each other's amazing achievements, yet we came from very different walks of life."
Dr Gaston, who has been thinking about sexism and science a lot over the last 12 months, recalled the first time she'd ever consciously noticed being in a room filled with women; her boss at IRL popped into her office and said, "I need a woman," to send to the Association of Women In Science conference. It was in that room filled with women in science that she realised how, at conferences of approximately 100 people, it would not be unusual for her to be the only woman in attendance. It's hard to negate the sense that in many ways, more than a room or lab of one's own, what women in science actually need is a cohort of women to be part of.
Distinguished Professor Brimble suggests that it was this sense of a peer group, or a network, that was hard to build when she was developing her career. "I advise junior scientists to build relationships not just with their peers and those more junior than them, but also with more senior people." Having networks up and down the science hierarchy provides support as one's career advances. Dr Gaston is delighted that we're now talking about things like unconscious or implicit bias; "We can de-personalise the conversation about sexism in science, thus avoiding the necessary cognitive dissonance," which is a coping mechanism for both women and men operating in a system that tends to minimise the impact of sexism or discrimination. "For me, it has been important to make a sharp distinction between my own lived experiences and the situational average," says Dr Gaston.
Dr Dickinson's approach is personal—she puts herself out there via both mainstream and social media because it is important to her to be actively seeking out conversations about science, and women in science, with people who might not otherwise engage. "There is a responsibility that comes alongside being given access to talk about your science with the public, and part of that is talking about things like sexism in science."
Setting aside the connotations of 'influence' and focusing on making an impact for the future, Professor McGrath articulated the clear need for a network to both be able to succeed in science, and to be happy; "At any one time, there's been almost no women senior to me to take on mentorship roles." She is a champion of finding your network amongst like-minded colleagues of both genders; "What is great about having all four of us as finalists is that we're very different, and hopefully at least one of us will resonate as a role-model or potential mentor for young women contemplating a career in science." There is a real sense that finally we have an embarrassment of riches; a growing, and increasingly high profile number of women in science who represent a number of different ways of being, both scientifically, and as individuals.
This is made clear with the winning of the 2014 Westpac Woman of Influence in Science and Innovation, by Distinguished Professor Margaret Brimble, in recognition of her role not only as a medicinal chemist, but also as a person who has received the highest level of international recognition for her work as a scientist, and as a woman in science. Distinguished Professor Brimble credits the L'Oreal-UNESCO laureate award for showing her how much influence she could have. She explained how "the French team made a video of my life in the lab", which was then shown at a Girls into Science forum. "Suddenly I saw that young women could then relate to what I did as a scientist and could contemplate pursuing their own careers in science."
Eighty-five years ago Virginia Woolf saw access to financial independence and career autonomy as necessary for women's success, and in 2014 we could easily add the need to have multiple examples of female leadership to follow. What seems to be different about the rooms that Distinguished Professor Brimble, Professor McGrath, and Drs Gaston and Dickinson find themselves in—be they offices, labs, ballrooms or conference centres—is that instead of being the only woman in the room, things are starting to change. "For me, seeing four outstanding women working in the physical sciences getting celebrated was awesome," said Professor McGrath. It is no longer a 'one-size-fits-all' model of what a 'female scientist' is, but instead a variety of approaches, a plethora of conversations and an opportunity for diversity.

Silver is truly beautiful on its own. But it is also such a wonderful setting for stones of every colour. I think the modesty of silver showcases precious stones much better than the more flashy yellow of gold. One of the loveliest colour combinations is that of purple and silver. The peacefulness of blue & verve of red combine to produce that regal dignity that is purple. Silver's sweet serenity is the best possible companion for this beautiful colour.
Amethyst is a glassy semi-precious stone that is available in an entire range from lavender to violet to dark purple. Here's something from my collection that I dip into frequently, when I need a little balance in my life.

On the menuu for today was a cheeseburger ($4.50) and a small poutine ($4.75) taxes included.
The burger was griddle cooked and weighed in at around 6 ounces, a respectable portion. I had mine dressed as usual: mayo, mustard, lettuce, onion, pickle. At first glance you can see Kel's uses a coarser ground beef, you can see the texture of the grind before you bite into it. There is little to no filler in the hand-formed patty, biting into it reveals nothing but the texture of the beef. Excellent.
My only peeve about the burger itself is that 1) Kel needs to lighten up on the cooking time, the patty was well done to the verge of being dry. I like my burgers cooked through (medium well, with a slight hint of pink at the very least) so this isn't a huge deal, but, there's cooked through and then cooked to death..... My other peeve is that 2) the meat needs some seasoning, it's nice to let the meat speak for itself, but even the best cuts of meat need a little salt and pepper.
The bun was a D'Italiano style cornmeal topped bun you can purchase at most supermarkets. It was nothing special, but, in my opinion the bun is just the delivery vehicle for the meat, so this was perfectly acceptable.
The poutine was very well done. Kel's only gives their chips a single fry. This results in a crisp outer layer with a fairly stiff internal texture. I am a fan of the double fry method but these fries are very capable. They use real cheddar curds and a fairly standard beef gravy. It's not the biggest order I've seen for the price, but, in terms of quality it's right up there with some of the better poutines I've had.
Update: Kel's had been closed for two years because she moved out of town. Apparently, while it was closed, someone stole the truck from the parking lot. She only found out it was missing when she decided she was going to sell it. Aren't people nice? Pics can be found on her Facebook page.

Fall Boot Must-Haves
You NEED these boots in your closet this season!
It's easy to get down in the dumps this time of year. It gets dark at 3:45pm, you gotta wear more layers, and summer feels like a distant memory. But let's not forget that it's boot season, and there's no better way to survive the cold weather blues than dressing warmly in style.
I love boots. I feel like one can never have too many pairs, because you need different styles for every occasion. Casual ankle boots for work, over the knee suede boots for a night out, and a nice heeled booty for date night. Not to mention colors and fabrics! Black ones, brown ones, suede, and satin, the list goes on! It can be overwhelming, but I'm here to showcase the absolute must-haves this fall and winter season.
Funny story: I decided at the end of the summer that I needed mid-length black Chelsea boots. They would go with most outfits, they were affordable, it was an easy decision. So boom, I found the PERFECT pair on ASOS. Proceed to order, and eagerly anticipate the arrival of my boot beauties.
Fast forward to their arrival: I nearly break my neck running down the stairs of my apartment to get the boots. I race upstairs, tear open the box, only to find the wrong shoes! Instead, my package is over the knee black suede boots, with a drawstring lace. Dismayed, I immediately send an email to ASOS, demanding a refund. But then I paused. I didn't have over the knee boots at all. The drawstring at the top was new, edgy, and the boots fit perfectly. These in fact, were perfect for a night out.
Check out these two styles as found on ASOS, both under $60:
Chelsea boots
Suede over the knee boots
But wait! We are not done here!
So you and bae are planning a night out. But it's super chilly out, and as much as you want to wear some slingbacks or peeptoes, it's quiet for that. What's a girl to do! Invest in a pair of Aurella ankle boots, that's what! Available in an assortment of colors, these boots are sure to impress your dinner date, and won't leave you with blisters walking these cold city streets.
Last but not least, is the Olivia Miller Riding boot. I love a good riding boot; they are all purpose, great to pair with leggings or jeans, and just scream 'Fall's here!" These beauties are available at DSW and are also super affordable.
I'd say you guys are pretty set to look fly as hell this fall season. 🙂

Welcome email
Upsell email
Cross-platform email to support above the line campaign
When Three launched their amazing Dancing Shetland Pony TV ad, we were tasked with distilling the essence of the ad (and the brand) throughout the customer journey. It was all about sharing and the feeling that this engenders.
Emails contained, not just a brand message, but also reasons to get online and get sharing – from funny videos to a Pony Mashup app.
Plus we created an email driving customers to The Guardian's "silly stuff" aggregator website – sponsored by Three. Miles away from the boring old customer comms Three used to do, and creating a real feelgood factor among clients. So good, we reduced churn by 50% over three (appropriately) years.

Dangerous biomarkers in human sweat detected by portable sensor
A portable chip that can encapsulate and analyse biomarkers in a person's sweat has been developed by EPFL researchers in collaboration with startup Xsensio.
The low-power system is able to fit on a chip measuring under 1cm² and can be placed directly onto a person's skin or integrated into a bracelet.
It analyses specific biomarkers contained in sweat to give valuable insight into the wearer's health.
It can determine the sodium and potassium concentrations in the person's sweat, for example, and measure their body temperature and pH. This data can then be sent directly to a smartphone for further analysis.
The system uses capillary action to 'pump' miniscule amounts of sweat into the heart of the chip, where it is analysed.
The chip contains four silicon sensors that are only around 20 nanometres thick, making them extremely sensitive.
Each sensor is coated with a different material so that they can each detect different biomarkers.
"Our platform is truly modular. By depositing different biochemical layers on each of the miniature sensors, we can measure a host of variables ranging from electrolytes and metabolites to tiny molecules and proteins. That gives users personalised real-time data," said Esmeralda Megally, CEO of Xsensio.
The system includes two fluidic layers that sit between the chip and the user's skin. These layers 'pump' up sweat from the skin and carry it to the sensors.
As this pump relies entirely on capillary action, it runs continuously and without electricity.
"Ours is the only device out there that includes such a system on a chip," said Professor Adrian Ionescu, lead researcher. "Even today's most advanced devices use sensors that are 10,000 times bigger than ours and need a larger volume of sweat to be able to effectively analyse biomarkers."
Such extreme miniaturisation was made possible thanks to sensor technology developed at the Nanolab – the same technology that's used in computer microprocessors. Xsensio, which is coming up with the marketing strategy for the system, contributed two innovations: the nanofluid interface with users' skin and the thin biochemical layers that enable the sensors to detect specific biomarkers.
Now the project team is working on incorporating the system into a bracelet or other wearable device so that it can be launched on the market.
The data that the system collects can give important insight into both a user's health and wellness. For example, chlorine levels can give an early indication of cystic fibrosis and ion levels can signal dehydration. Measurements of other biomarkers can flag symptoms of fatigue and stress and eventually even risk factors for other illnesses.
Last year, Harvard University researchers demonstrated an automated manufacturing process for creating 3D-printed organs that can be used to run personalised medical diagnostics on patients.
