So what did the Department Of Justice ask for exactly from AOL, MSN, and Yahoo? What did they get, exactly? What negotiations went on? How will the DOJ analyze the data? How useful will that analysis be? And how about AOL, MSN and Yahoo disclosing what they released now, rather than waiting for a Freedom Of Information Act request to force the material into the public domain? A look at all of this and more in an update on the Google versus Department Of Justice story, below.
First, want to pretend you are the Department Of Justice and analyze search queries yourself? What would the search engines be giving the feds? from Shaun Ryan at SLI Systems gives you the chance. Shaun's been involved with search for years, currently one of the people behind Eurekster and previously behind GlobalBrain, which Snap/NBCi later invested in then sold back to Shaun and his brother. Shaun's posted a day's worth of searches from 2001, from searches that happened on Snap/NBCi. Have fun analyzing. As Shaun says:
This isn't exactly the format that the search engines would have given the data to the feds and although it does make interesting reading, it does underscore how difficult it would be to get any useful information out of it. Privacy issues aside this seems like a silly request from the Department of Justice. Can anyone see how they could analyze this file to support the child protection law?
I've actually been trying to get this exact question answered. Just what is the Department Of Justice's plan? My guess is that they want to pull a random sample of results from the query logs, then do some searching to see if they encounter pornography with porn filters switched on and off at each of the major search engines.
OK, if that's the plan, it's a good enough way to go. But as I wrote before, they didn't need to demand data to do this. They could have bought search queries from a place like WordTracker. They could have simply come up with their own list of terms to check, just as the US Government Accountability Office did last year when it wanted to test porn filtering in image search. Bush Administration Demands Search Data; Google Says No; AOL, MSN & Yahoo Said Yes from me last month covers both of these issues in more depth.
The weakness in either of those approaches is that potentially, the ACLU (which opposes the law the Department Of Justice is backing) might argue that the tests aren't based on real query data. Sure. But then again, I've also explained in that article above that the raw search logs themselves don't represent "real" queries. The Department Of Justice failed to ask for removal of automated queries, or have queries broken down by age, or have queries from outside the US be removed. Any of those elements can be argued to skew the data and make it unrealistic or unrepresentative of actual user behavior.
Those failures are one sign that the Department Of Justice doesn't really know enough about search engines to be producing any study that will stand up in court. But the amount of data they wanted was another sign. Remember, they initially asked for 2 months worth of queries — and hey, just put them all in a text file for us.
The file Shaun's released is one single day's worth of queries from a minor search engine and is a 19MB text document. It contains half a million terms. If Google really had given up the original two month's worth of data requested, it would have been an incredibly large file, perhaps requiring its own computer in the same way that Bill Gates's tax return does. It would have involved billions of queries — overkill to say the least for what the DOJ intends.
Meanwhile, Google argues that one reason it shouldn't have to hand over data is that by now, the Department Of Justice has enough from the other search engines. Indeed, it does. Moreover, every day that it delays in analyzing that data is another day it becomes less useful to them. That's because query terms can change over time. Waiting to get the Google data means the other data is just getting older and older.
But back to the point. Where are we in the process? I mean, what does the Department Of Justice know already? I contacted them by phone on January 23 and was told by spokesperson Charles Miller that he didn't know if any of the data had been analyzed yet or the exact process that would be done. I then sent up a follow-up email that same day. Here's the key part of that:
I'd like to better understand exactly how the testing will happen, something the DOJ should be able to comment upon irregardless to the current legal action. There must have been some plan on how the data would be analyzed developed before any request would be done. That plan is what I'd like to know more about.
I can see from documents already released that Professor Stark intends to make use of the data to do some type of statistical analysis of the presence of HTMs within search results. But exactly how will this be done? My questions include things such as:
1) Will you randomly sample queries from the data received, or will you try to sub-divide the queries in various ways and test on more popular versus less popular ones?
2) How exactly will you test the queries? Will you use each query at each search engine that it came from, to see what comes up on the results? To what depth will you search (first page of results, second and so on)?
3) What is the criteria for determining if a page is HTM?
4) What's the purpose of requiring a separate URL list from the query logs you are receiving?
My questions aren't limited to those above. I'll have more depending on what exactly the plan is. The easiest way forward would be to arrange an interview with someone knowledgeable about the testing planned, such as Professor Stark himself or other experts you may have engaged.
I'd also like to understand how the plan came about. What types of studies were considered and rejected before this one was settled upon?
In addition to the above, I'd also like to understand exactly what data has been provided by each search engine. Were they all served with the same original request as Google? Did they comply to provide, or did they negotiate to send an agreed upon smaller amount.
I'm also wondering if there were any non-legal requests made to the search engines before the subpoenas?
Finally, I'd like access to all correspondence sent on this matter between the Department Of Justice and the major search engines involved: Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and any others that may not have been named. Three documents have come out so far, but there is obviously much more. If required, I'll make a Freedom Of Information Act request. However, I wanted to see if I could first voluntarily get this information released.
I never got a response from Miller nor the lead attorney on the case, Joel McElvain, who was cc'd on the email. I also cc'd Philip Stark, who is the government witness in this case. Stark actually responded promptly, unlike the US government itself. Stark said that he couldn't personally comment on the case, which was perfectly reasonable.
This brings me to a Boing Boing challenge that was issued to the major search engines on January 30:
So, America Online, Microsoft, and Yahoo: will you please release the data publicly — or show us where it already exists online? This way, everyone who uses your services can take a look for themselves, and evaluate whether they believe the information shared was privacy-violating.
So far, none of these companies have done this. I think they should, and Google should release everything it sent to the US government in terms of negotiations, as well.
Go back up to my letter to the Department Of Justice, and you'll see I plan to file a Freedom Of Information Act for this type of material. I haven't had a chance to do that yet, but I probably will next week. But anyone can do so: here's the info. Go ahead — beat me to it! Maybe someone else already has. The downside is that these things typicall take months to process — but they do get processed, and information does come out.
Heck, perhaps US Senator Patrick Leahy could do this. We've covered previously his demand that the Department Of Justice hand over more information about the subpoenas that were served. He wrote to the DOJ asking for various things, including:
Please identify the type(s) of information and/or data that the Department requested in its subpoenas for records issued to the Internet companies — including whether the Department requested, or obtained, any personal identifying information and/or data in connection with the subpoenas — and state how the Department intends to use this commercial information and/or data.
I see no reason why the information I'm seeking through a FOIA request won't be released. There's no national security impact here. It's hard to see what confidentiality of either party might be disclosed. If this is data gathered by the US government to be argued in an open court of law, then it is public data. You've got a US senator seeking the same. The search companies themselves can release it now voluntarily or they can wait to have it released through an FOIA request.
Meanwhile, I'll end with a mention of something John Battelle blogged about. One of his readers, Adam Fields, wanted to know if Google could come up with a list of people who search for a particular topic by IP address or cookie, as well as whether a profile of all searches done from a particular IP address or cookied browser could be produced. Google said yes.
That doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, that's just standard log data that any web server would record. Google's said they've kept such data in the past; Yahoo has said the same. It's fair to assume everyone has data like this.
Whether you should freak out that you might be identified by IP address or cookie is another matter. Did you just change from Internet Explorer to Firefox? Congrats — you just got a new cookie, in all likelihood. Get a new computer? Same thing. Switch ISPs? Assuming someone could get search data from a search engine and IP data from ISPs, then yes, stuff can be tracked back to you.
Of course, it remains far easier for the government to just get that data from your ISP directly or from your home computer. For more on all of this, see these articles:

Postscript: The Department Of Justice has now responded to my request:
Unfortunately, due to the fact that this is ongoing litigation, we are unable to make anyone available at this time. I think the brief we filed in this matter speaks for itself.
I wrote back:
Are you saying the Department Of Justice never comments on ongoing litigation? You've already commented on this case, such as to reassure people that no private information has been requested.
The brief does not explain how you plan to analyze this data. That analysis will be a matter of public record. You must have some type of plan in place now, and that plan is going to come out at some point. It will either come out in a court hearing, or you'll have to reveal it as part of any analysis you present.
Again, I'd like to talk more about the analysis you intend, so that people can cease speculating about it. At the very least, the DOJ should be able to answer whether any analysis of the data you've received so far has been done. Let me know if you can answer further. In the meantime, I'll get started on the FOIA request.
And the response was the contact details for the department's FOIA request officer. So I guess it's the long road….

Standard Chartered has just launched the latest scheme. Dubbed "Win-A-Friend", the program encourages existing holders of MasterCard and Visa to recommend friends to apply. In return, the recommender is eligible to win a number of prizes. In less than three years since Standard Charter began issuing cards it has attracted more than 150,000 members, making it the second biggest player in the Indian market.
Market leader Citibank, which accounts for 600,000 of the two million credit cards issued in India, is defending its leading by regularly advertising in mainstream publications. It recently launched an incentive program of its own called "MoneySpinner," which offers cardholders cash based on card usage.
Australia's ANZ Grindlays Bank, another leading card issuer, joined the rush to attract customers by making it easier for people to apply. An executive comes to the credit card applicant's house and completes all the paperwork for the prospective client, including taking identity photographs.
Even premium charge cards like Diner's Club, owned by Citibank, now reach out to customers. Diner's, which earlier required an introduction by an existing cardholder for any new customer, now waves that prerequisite and instead sends out unsolicited mailers to upmarket households.
Lowe affiliate Enterprise Advertising, Bangalore, handles Standard Chartered; Citibank and Diner's Club are handled by Hindustan Thompson Associates, Bombay; Ogilvy & Mather, New Delhi, handles American Express; MAA Bozell, Bangalore, handles MasterCard and R.K. Swamy/ BBDO Advertising, Bombay, handles Visa International.

On my amazing journey to the Alabama Apartment Association State Trade Show I had a unique experience happen at a Hilton Hotel. It was time to venture over to the trade show from the hotel. I had gone to the desk at the Hilton Perimeter a couple times to check on the shuttle to take me and one of my VPs, Patty Crawford, over to the convention center. The driver had taken off for the airport, so the registration desk team called to the kitchen and asked Master Chef Joe to come give Patty and me a ride over to the conference. "Oh, we can just jump in a cab" we exclaimed. "Oh no" the desk clerk said, "Chef Joe would be happy to drive you over, it will take another 30 mins for a taxi to arrive."
So Patty and I giggled as we saw a man come out of the kitchen in "full Chef gear" and said, "let's go Chef Joe." We chatted as we drove and learned that Chef Joe was getting a new car that day for his wife as the one we were riding in had been totaled and was not fixed properly; hence all the rattles and loose sounding metal parts tumbling the back. We just laughed!
Chef Joe has a 5 year old son, Joey, so when we got out of the car, we decided to leave a nice large tip on Joe's seat so he could take his wife and Joey out for pizza! Chef Joe, said "no way, I cannot do that, I will put this money back in your room!" We just dropped the cash in the seat and walked inside, knowing he didn't have our names or know our room numbers! We got to "Be nice to a stranger who was nice to us and that felt great."
Well, when I got back to my room that evening after a great tradeshow with our Orange team, I was amazed to see 8 champagne glasses sitting on my counter full of jelly beans, pretzels, candy, nuts and a note from Chef Joe saying to come down in the morning to the restaurant for a FREE breakfast on him!! OMG – what a surprise. We went down for breakfast in the morning, and there was Chef Joe with his team treating us like royalty! He told us stories about how he was a very famous chef on huge yachts for years for very famous people, but he decided to settle down and raise a family in Bham!
We shared our goodies with our MidSouth Orange Team – and when our lunch was served during our Finder team meeting – Chef Joe came out of the kitchen to say hello to our team! They were touched by our random act of kindness to Chef Joe who didn't mind coming out of the kitchen for 10 minutes to give two gals a ride to the trade show so we wouldn't be late! Just saying – being nice pays off and gives you some of the most unique experiences!

Nokia reported non-IFRS net sales in Q2 2016 of EUR 5.7 billion down from EUR 6.4 billion on a comparable combined company basis (Alcatel-Lucent + Nokia).
The company said it intends to accelerate its cost savings program as it works to integrate Alcatel-Lucent. Related to this, Nokia recorded approximately EUR 600 million of restructuring and associated charges in the second quarter 2016.
Some highlights from the report:
Nokia Networks
Nokia's Networks business experienced an 11% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2016, which the company said reflected its outlook for the wireless infrastructure market. Net sales were weak in Mobile Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks, and accounted for approximately 80% of the overall decrease in Nokia's Networks business.
IP Networks and Applications also contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by strong growth in Fixed Networks within Ultra Broadband Networks.
In Q2 2016, gross margin of 37.4% and operating margin of 6.0% were adversely affected by a customer in Latin America undergoing judicial recovery. Excluding this, gross margin would have been approximately 38% and operating margin would have been nearly 7%.
Nokia Technologies
This division also experienced an 11% year-on-year net sales decrease in Q2 2016. Excluding the impact of non-recurring items that benefitted the year ago quarter, Nokia Technologies net sales would have grown by approximately 10% year-on-year, primarily due to higher intellectual property licensing income from existing licensees.
Rajeev Suri, Nokia's President and CEO, commented:
"Nokia's second quarter results were largely as expected and reflect solid execution in the midst of a challenging market and the ongoing integration of Alcatel-Lucent. When we announced our first quarter results, I said that we did not expect to see typical seasonal patterns in the first half of the year, and that prediction proved to be correct. Net sales were slightly up sequentially in Q2, while operating margin was slightly down, in part reflecting a meaningful negative impact from one of our major customers in Latin America."
"The decline of our topline remains a concern, and reflects challenging market conditions. While we do not expect those conditions to improve in the near term, we believe we are well-positioned given the scope of our portfolio, focus on operational discipline, strengthening sales execution, and opportunities in the evolution from 4G towards 5G."

The tangled path to ending US drone strikes will be mapped through diplomacy, courtroom challenges, activist protests and pressure on the mainstream media to challenge official secrecy.
On the diplomatic-political front, a de facto agreement between the US and Pakistan over Afghanistan could end the drone strikes concentrated on Taliban sanctuaries in North Waziristan. Since the US is withdrawing ground troops from Afghanistan and cannot afford to invade Pakistan, unmanned aerial vehicles are currently the weapons of last resort. Their attacks, however, have failed to defeat the insurgents and continue to inflame Muslim opinion in Pakistan and elsewhere, steadily provoking an eventual security threat to the United States.
Until November's election, Republicans (and Democratic hawks) campaigned furiously against any sign of US government "talks with the Taliban," effectively squashing the diplomatic alternative or driving the process into complete secrecy. The impasse also prevented the release of US Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, held as a Taliban prisoner in Pakistan since June 2009. The secret talks had considered a swap of Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders held in Guantanamo Bay.
But the secret contacts led to a post-election agreement—now directly involving Pakistan—to transfer more than a dozen Afghan Taliban figures to Afghanistan's High Peace Council, the negotiating entity that represents Kabul in the fragile peace process. Expecting release is Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the former Taliban military commander whose capture by American and Pakistani forces in 2010 was blamed for the earlier derailment of the process. Others already released include an assistant to Taliban leader Mullah Omar, as well as former Taliban ministers of justice, communications and military commanders.
The Taliban releases were announced on November 17 in Kabul by Salahuddin Rabbani, son of the former Peace Council leader, Burhanuddin Rabbani, who was assassinated in 2011.
The clock is ticking loudly on the scheduled US troop withdrawals, forcing all parties to choose a power-sharing ceasefire arrangement or risk a renewed civil war by 2015. The current Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, is scheduled for replacement in new elections in late 2014, the same date that US ground operations end. Drone policies will also be taken up in the US-Afghanistan status of forces agreement talks, which began in mid-November and are scheduled to conclude in May.
Pakistan is unlikely to agree to a diplomatic initiative unless it includes a termination of the drone strikes. And if the Taliban are integrated into a power-sharing arrangement in Afghanistan, the US will lack any further rationale for its drone and predator attacks.
Courtroom Challenges
In his October 18 interview with Jon Stewart, President Obama issued a stunning invitation to Congress to "rein in" his administration, and future administrations, before another Imperial Presidency becomes his legacy. Obama suggested that Congress supply him with new "legal architecture" to harness the new nature of warfare to principles of democracy and accountability. A revision of the 1973 War Powers Act would be a starting point.

In order to generate a valuation, simply enter your registration and mileage below:
Why your mileage matters >
Some brands are better at holding their value than others and a few simple checks to see how much a brand new equivalent would cost, will help you understand how much value a car will lose over time
The better condition your car, the better your odds of retaining its value when you sell. Regular servicing and maintenance is the key to this
Whilst cleaning can really help to maximise the value of a car, great pictures are also very important. Car photos should be in a well-lit, tidy area. Pictures should be taken from a wide variety of angles to maximise the appeal of the vehicle. Make sure you include both interior and exterior shots
Generally, cars with a lower mileage achieve a better sale value than those with high mileage, due to less wear and tear on the vehicle over time
The registration date of the vehicle gives a true indication of the age of the car, and its value. New cars are released twice a year, so its worth checking the month of registration to establish the exact age of the vehicle
Certain car colours can retain their value better than others. However, in terms of the paintwork, the finish is probably the most important factor. Popular car colours can help you retain value. According to The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, white was the most popular car colour in 2014.

The review of this product is based on a re-released version of the game. Because of this change of medium and the passage of time, it is possible that there are slight factual differences between the original retail product and the version reviewed. The following review should be used as a reference for how well the game stood up over time rather than an evaluation of how it would have scored based on its original release date.
Here's another example of a game defeated by its time of arrival: Lode Runner is a classic action-puzzler, and it's a game design worth checking out... except its own superior sequel has also since been released and is a much better investment. Battle Lode Runner, while not a spectacular title on its own has enhanced graphics, sound and array of gameplay options look quite a bit more attractive when compared to this NES original.
Lode's all about the gold -- he loves the stuff. He collects it by the pile, running through a darkened world of bricks and ladders to find it. He can't jump, which complicates matters a bit as he sprints around each maze, but he can dig holes.
Your one and only method of interaction with the environment is to dig -- the B Button digs on your left, the A Button on your right. It's not so much digging, though, as it is just pointing at a brick and making it disappear. Removing the masonry serves two purposes: it allows you access to levels of the labyrinth buried underneath, and it allows you to create pitfalls to capture assaulting enemies. Old-school Hudson fans will recognize the foes as none other than Bomberman. Or Bombermen, rather, the faceless, multiple clones of the Hudson hero. They won't attack with explosives, though, just themselves -- one touch is all it takes to rid you of your life.
So Lode Runner's a fairly basic action-puzzler overall. You avoid the enemies, collect the gold, and climb the ladder to the next stage to rinse and repeat the whole process. It can be an addictive design, and was remarkably popular back in the '80s. This NES edition was just one of several ports the game had at the time, most of the others going to various home computer platforms of the day.
The question, then, goes back to one of value: as Lode Runner now sits opposed that other ported version, Battle Lode Runner. It's no contest, unfortunately. Battle Lode Runner's much more robust. It looks better, it sounds better, and it even supports up to five players at once in simultaneous multiplayer battle matches. This NES Lode Runner doesn't have all that. Sure it has a multiplayer mode, but it's just an alternating, back-and-forth competition between two people that challenge for a high score. Not simultaneous play. There's an Edit Mode that lets you create your own stages, which was novel for an NES title, but again, the TurboGrafx Battle edition did that better, too.
The one thing Lode Runner purists may prefer about this version is its sense of speed. NES Lode Runner is faster and more frantic than the more-forgiving Battle edition, and represents a greater challenge in that way. But then, again, true Lode Runner purists would also know that there's a superior version for that aspect too, in the form of Championship Lode Runner: a later NES release that took the design to its most intense extreme.
The Verdict
So it seems we've run out of potential positives. There's no redeeming Lode Runner here, and no getting past the fact that investing similar money for Battle Lode Runner would be a much wiser move. Gran this only if you're nostalgic for NES releases, otherwise, step up and grab the superior sequels.

Free Trade Unions claim disallowed
On June 30 as Brest Leninski Borough Court resolved to disallow the claim filed by the Free Trade Union of Belarus in defense of its member and ex-teacher at Brest State University Valiantsin Lazarenkau.
He was fired from the University for having committed immoral actions, while he had not got any reprimands for 20 years before. The thing is that he is chair of the Free Trade Unions University branch.
On the eve of the presidential election day, on June, 18 he together with three colleagues was detained by Brest police. Lazarenkau was sentenced to 7 days of imprisonment and fired from the University a few days later.
The Free Trade Union of Belarus demanded to declare his dismissal illegal and rehabilitate him at his job. The trade union also urged the court to exact BYR 375,000 of wages and BYR 100,000,000 of moral damage.
In spite of the courts verdict, the claimant is going to file a complaint to Brest Regional Court.

Pumpkin Spice Muffin II
by mannafrost
So my mom asked me to make something out of the green pumpkin that had been sitting on the kitchen counter for a while now. Initially, I thought it was a type of asian squash but she kept calling it a 'Pumpkin'. Laughing, I went on Google and identified the 'Kabocha' – A Japanese Winter Squash. Online, people have mentioned it wasn't the greatest substitute for the Sugar pumpkin (a smaller sized pumpkin used for baking) but Wikipedia describes Kabocha as: '…similar in texture and flavor to a pumpkin and a sweet potato combined'. Sweet potato will do!
I went online to search for a Pumpkin Spice Recipe and found this one >All Recipes Pumpkin Spice Muffins II, intrigued by the 'II' and happy about the 4.5/5 stars So, instead of a Sugar Pumpkin I used a Kabocha Squash. Here are directions on how to Puree a Pumpkin. Our Magic Bullet struggled to process the heavy pulp, so I ended up adding water to the puree. Considering the end result, the Kabocha was a great substitute – it was sweeter than the canned pumpkin Puree bought for the next batch. The Muffins turned out great!
Side note: The next batch required 8 cups of puree so I ended up combining leftover Kabocha and Pumpkin Puree from a can. The story behind this gigantic batter was that I accidently tossed in 3 times more baking soda – so I tripled everything. That meant 12 cups of flour! The batter was so heavy I used my hands to mix the ingredients. I'll see how it tastes when I bake some tomorrow.
The best part of baking the Pumpkin Spice is the aroma. The smell of Nutmeg, Clove and Cinnamon is so nice~ It reminds me of Potpourri.

Re: Werewolf host
Anyone is free to host games if they want. You can find the generic software for automated hosting by Googling Ghost++, and you can ask Falanor if you want to implement any of the fancy stat tracking, etc. The only issue with redundant host bots is that players tend to try to fill up multiple game lobbies, making it harder to start games.

Tonex makes a good point about redundancy. I'd recommend you get involved in the Werewolf bot thread and connect with Falanor. He's the resident bot guru. You can view that thread here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=777

We report a new type of photonic bandgap that becomes substantial at remarkably low air-filling fractions (~60%) in triangular-lattice photonic crystal fibres (PCF) made from high index glass (n≳2.0). The ratio of inter-hole spacing to wavelength makes these new structures ideal for the experimental realisation of hollow-core PCF in the mid/far-infrared, where suitable glasses (e.g., tellurites and chalcogenides) tend to have high refractive indices.

A Westchester woman busted twice for shoplifting at Saks Fifth Avenue in Greenwich was arrested on a warrant Tuesday, according to Greenwich Police.
Lily Nathanson, 28, of Rye, was charged with two counts of larceny stemming from the incidents that took place on Oct. 1 and Dec. 30, 2017, at the Saks Fifth Avenue on Greenwich Avenue, said Lt. John Slusarz.
During the first incident Nathanson is accused of stealing a Dolce & Gabbana dress worth $2,695 and a Prada purse priced at $750, he said.
On Dec. 30, store officials called police after recognizing Nathanson as someone who had "shoplifted" at the store in the past, Slusarz said.
When officers arrived they found more than $520 worth of unpaid merchandise including T-shirts and two blouses, he said.
Nathanson was released on $25,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 21.

Fr Michael Mary F.SS.R very kindly allows me to borrow the occasional book from the Transalpine Redemptorist main library, sited temporarily on Stronsay, pending completion of the new library on Papa Stronsay. Recently I selected a book for my Lenten reading, entitled - 'Henry Garnet (1555-1606) and the Gunpowder Plot' by Philip Caraman S.J. I have read other books by this author, most if not all based on the lives of the English Martyrs in Elizabethan times,which without exception have made compelling reading.Tucked in this book I found a loose sheet of folded paper, with on one side a printed article entitled 'Campion Bragge', with 'Catholic Broadsheets No.1. Published by Michael White at 15 Broad Street Place, London, E.C.2. Price 2d'.- along the bottom of the page, and on the other blank side, an address and postmark dated 17 July 1951. The whole sheet had originally been folded and sent through the post. I found this article extremely interesting and moving, and it may be that you will also.
Queen Elizabeth 1st (Armada Portrait) 1588
"At the time of the Reformation in England, the fate of Catholic and Protestant alike hung for some time in the balance; but with the accession of Queen Elizabeth the tide turned finally against the Catholics. They were at first allowed to continue to exist, and there was every reason to suppose that without a hierarchy and without priests, they would die out in a generation. One man, Cardinal Allen, prevented this by his establishment of a seminary at Douai in Flanders. To Douai came Edmund Campion, the brilliant scholar of Oxford – "one of the diamonds of England" he is called by a contemporary, and from Douai to Rome to join the newly founded Jesuits.
Pope St Pius Vth
In 1570, Pope Pius V issued a Bull of Excommunication against Elizabeth, and with that the laws against Catholics were increased. The Catholics were to be wiped out rather than allowed to die. It was treason to be a priest or to harbour a priest. Non-attendance at the Protestant church was fined so heavily that the well-to-do were ruined, the poor destitute. Hopelessness ruled over the English Catholics.
And then, on June 24th,1580, Edmund Campion, with Fr Robert Persons arrived in England. The first night they lay hidden at a house in Chancery Lane, the next at Hoxton. To see them at Hoxton came a friend Thomas Pounde. Campion, fearing that he would be misrepresented if he should fall into the hands of the State authorities, produced a statement that was to be kept until he should be in prison and then published. He sat down there and then at a table, and wrote it in half an hour. It was entrusted to Pounde but he was so excited and impressed by it that he forgot his orders and published it immediately. Manuscript copies were circulated through the country.
Campion became immediately famous. To the Catholics he became a great rallying point. New life was breathed into the down-hearted. To the Protestants he was a man to be tracked down and sent to his death - which he was. But for rather more than a year he travelled throughout England bringing the Mass and the Sacraments and new hope to the hidden Catholics; always on the move, never dwelling two nights at the same house. The end was inevitable and he was taken at Lyford Grange in Berkshire. He was paraded through the streets of London as a prize capture, cast into the Tower, tortured, tried (a mockery of a trial), and condemned to be hanged, drawn and quartered, with sentence carried out at Tyburn gallows on December 1st, 1581.
Sir Francis Walsingham, Priest Hunter and Spy-Master
Campion's document is a model of lucidity at a time when so much writing was involved and obscure. But more than that, it is a voice of a saint and a document of heroic courage. He speaks for all the English martyrs; he speaks for all English Catholics, then and now. As he said at his trial, "in condemning us you condemn all your own ancestors, all the ancient priests, bishops and kings, for what have we taught that they did not teach?"
St Edmund Campion SJ
To the Right Honourable Lords of Her Majestie's Privy Council
Right Honourable
Whereas I have come out of Germanie and Boemeland, being sent by my Superiours, and adventured myself into this noble Realm, my deare Countrie, for the glorie of God and benefit of souls, I thought it like enough that, in this busie, watchful and suspicious worlde, I should either sooner or later be intercepted and stopped of my course. Wherefore, providing for all events, and uncertaine what may become of me, when God shall haply deliver my body into durance, I supposed it needful to put this writing in a readiness, desiringe your good Lordships to give it ye reading, for to know my cause. This doing I trust I shall ease you of some labour. For that which otherwise you must have sought for by practice of wit, I do now lay into your hands by plaine confession. And to ye intent that the whole matter may be conceived in order, and so the better both understood and remembered, I make thereof these ix points or articles, directly, truly, and resolutely opening my full enterprise and purpose.
i. I confess that I am (albeit unworthy) a priest of ye Catholike Church, and through ye great mercie of God vowed now these viii years into the Religion of the Societie of Jhesus. Hereby I have taken upon me a special kind of warfare under the banner of obedience, and eke resigned all my interest or possibilitie of wealth, honour, pleasure, and other worldlie felicitie.
ii. At the voice of our General Provost, which is to me a warrant from heaven, and Oracle of Christ, I tooke my voyage from Prage to Rome (where our said General Father is always resident) and from Rome to England, as I might and would have done joyously into any part of Christendome or Heathenesse, had I been thereto assigned.
iii. My charge is, of free cost to preach the Gospel, to minister the Sacraments, to instruct the simple, to reforme sinners, to confute errors – in brief, to crie alarme spiritual against foul vice and proud ignorance wherewith many my dear Countrymen are abused.
iv. I never had mind, and am strictly forbidden by our Father that sent me, to deal in any respect with matter of State or Policy of this realm, as things which appertain not to my vocation, and from which I do gladly restrain and sequester my thoughts.
v. I do ask, to the glory of God, with all humility, and under your correction, iii sortes of indifferent and quiet audiences: the first before your Honours, wherein I will discourse of religion, so far as it touches the common weale and your nobilities: the second, whereof I make more account, before the Doctors and Masters and chosen men of both Universities, wherein I undertake to avow the faith of our Catholike Church by proofs innumerable, Scriptures, Councils, Fathers, History, natural and moral reasons: the third before the lawyers, spiritual and temporal, wherein I will justify the said faith by the common wisdom of the laws standing yet in force and practice.
vi. I would be loth to speak anything, that might sound of any insolent brag or challenge, especially being now as a dead man to this world and willing to put my head under every man's foot, and to kiss the ground they tread upon. Yet have I such a courage in avouching the Majesty of Jhesus my King, and such affiance in his gracious favour, and such assurance in my quarrel, and my evidence so impregnable, and because I know perfectly that no one Protestant, nor all the Protestants living, nor any sect of our adversaries (howsoever they face men down in pulpits, and overrule us in their kingdom of grammarians and unlearned ears) can maintain their doctrine in disputation. I am to sue most humbly and instantly for the combat with all and every of them, and the most principal that may be found: protesting that in this trial the better furnished they come, the better welcome they shall be.
vii. And because it hath pleased God to enrich the Queen my Sovereign Ladye with notable gifts of nature, learning, and princely education, I do verily trust that – if her Highness would vouchsafe her royal person and good attention to such a conference as, in the ii part of my fifth article I have motioned, or to a few sermons, which in her or your hearing I am to utter,- such manifest and fair light by good method and plain dealing may be cast upon these controversies, that possibly her zeal of truth and love of her people shall incline her noble Grace to disfavour some proceedings hurtful to the realm, and procure towards us oppressed more equitie.
viii. Moreover I doubt not but you her Highness' Council being of such wisdom and discreet in cases most important, when you shall have heard these questions of religion opened faithfully, which many times by our adversaries are huddled up and confounded, will see upon what substantial grounds our Catholike Faith is builded, how feeble that side is which by sway of the time prevaileth against us, and so at last for your own souls, and for many thousand souls that depend upon your government, will discountenance error when it is bewrayed, and hearken to those who would spend the best blood in their bodies for your salvation. Many innocent hands are lifted up to heaven for you daily by those English students, whose posteritie shall never die, which beyond seas gathering virtue and sufficient knowledge for the purpose, are determined never to give you over, but either to win you heaven, or to die upon your pikes. And touching our Societie be it known to you that we have made a league – all the Jesuits in the world, whose succession and multitude must overreach all the practices of England – cheerfully to carry the cross you shall lay upon us, and never to despair your recovery, while we have a man left to enjoy your Tyburn, or to be racked with your torments, or consumed with your prisons. The expense is reckoned, the enterprise is begun, it is of God, it cannot be withstood. So the faith was planted, so it must be restored.
ix. If these my offers be refused, and my endeavours can take no place, and I, having run thousands of miles to do you good, shall be rewarded with rigour, I have no more to say but to recommend your case and mine to Almightie God, the Searcher of Hearts, who send us His grace, and set us at accord before the day of payment, to the end we may at last be friends in heaven, when all injuries shall be forgotten.
Christ Giving the Keys to St Peter (Perugino)
We pray to the holy English Martyrs, for the conversion of our Country.

Look at this picture of me.
Now, let me tell you something, I don't smoke.
Sounds unbelievable you say? Looks like I should be, maybe?
That's okay
I get that all the time.
For the life of me, I seem to give the wrong– if not bad — impression to most people I meet.
Apparently to some, I have a "bad boy" look which doesn't give a shit about smiling.
It's pretty ironic that most of my close friends now tell me stuff like: "I never liked you when I first met you…
… but after talking to you, you aren't really an asshole."
And I'm like, "Haha err okay… Thanks?"
Maybe this doesn't sound normal to you, giving off a shitty vibe to people. It's kind of as if I lead a dangerous life.
No man, not at all.
I love being me – not smoking, bad boy looks and everything. So what if my first impression sucks?
There's a whole lot to this not-giving-in-to-peer-pressure factor, standing your ground and ultimately being yourself.
Live the person you're meant to be, and good things will come.
First Cigarette At 10!?
My first trial by fire (get it?) came when I was only 10. I was hanging out with a boy who was older than me at the playground when he started smoking. At first I was like, "Wow underaged smoking".
He offered me a puff. I froze…
At that timeless moment it hit me like, "Oh wow, isn't this the part where I'm supposed to say no, like how school has taught me?"
Oh yeah, a little education here. You see, back then in school they decided to plant it in us little young kids that smoking was bad. Not only would you get bad breath and stuff, you would mostly likely become a bad person.
I stared at the cigarette. It felt like the crossroads, angel and devil in front of me. Two simple words, "yes" or "no", would make a huge ass difference FOR THE REST of my life.
And with that, I said "no." From then on, I sort of knew that I had it within myself to continually refuse all offers of smoking or resist any kinds of temptation.
Why Is It I Never Took Up Smoking?
It's like a non-smoker's thing, a streak you just want to keep in your life. It's kind of unexplainable. I'm sure everyone has that special something in you that you just want to keep unique to yourself.
Secondly, it was for practical reasons. I didn't want my health or stamina to be affected in anyway, especially since I am a Bboy. I mean yeah, there are many awesome Bboys who smoke, but I was afraid it would slow me down anyway.
Also, I didn't want to spend on cigarettes. I'd rather save them for other stuff. At the end of the day, I know smoking is jus' something I can live without.
Just for the record, I got nothing against smokers, not at all.
It's just a little habit people form. Other than that, I don't think smoking indicates the content of one's character. Most of my friends smoke and I freaking love them!
Peer Pressure Can Weigh You Down
You may be thinking, "But Alden, there are so many smokers around you, wouldn't you feel left out?"
Like, being that loner with no friends?
No I didn't feel left out. It wasn't like people who smoke started avoiding me like the plague and talking shit about me (remember, smokers are not assholes).
But most of all, I didn't feel left out because I knew what I was doing. And that gave me the confidence in being different.
You see, everybody has friends, and with that, you feel a need to actually fit in. Sadly, there are many people who fail to recognize that some friends are toxic and start giving in to the wrong kind of pressure and influence.
Fitting in, blending in, following the crowd– call it whatever you want. They're all fine.
Everybody wants to fit in. Right?
It's okay to belong, but be sure it's NOT at the cost of your own self. And it's unfortunate that people forget about that and simply conform just so they that they be "normal".
I say this then: Sometimes, just forget about trying to fit in and belong.
If you find that you have to try too hard, screw it. Walk away.
We're all human and we want to be happy, that is why we should actively surround ourselves with positive people.
Smoking happens to be the band-aid I never bothered to put on. What's the band-aid you want to rip off? A shitty job with a crappy boss? An ongoing, unhealthy relationship? An addiction?
The bottom line: Ask yourself what's truly bothering you before you conclude that it's "normal" and it's okay at that because everyone else is doing the same thing.
Standing Strong In Your Faith
Okay I hear you. You're asking, "How do you stay so strong and confident then?"
It's kind of easy.
Maybe you're thinking, "Oh, but it's just smoking" like it's just some little aspect of life.
Be that as it may, but you know what? You're actually missing out on the major benefits of actually standing your ground and not giving in to the crowd.
And that is respect.
You may not be indulging in the same things they do, but if you show signs of independence and maturity, people would not only respect you just for being who you are…
…but even admire you!
Remember the aforementioned faces of awe?
People hardly believe I don't smoke. I don't get ripped on for that. People just get surprised and wonder how I do it, despite my pro-smoking surroundings.
Now, extend this assertiveness to something even bigger, and that is keeping a clear conscience and living the person you are meant to be.
Feel deep down in your heart and check the greatest feelings which come about.
Now, FOLLOW THEM all the way.
Hell, do this and you don't even have to deal with pressure. The pressure just gives way to you.
It's my personal belief that as long as you follow your heart and keep your conscience clear, good things will arise and manifest in your life automatically. And when I say automatic, I'm talking about getting the good stuff without any kind of effort. I mean… It's just being yourself. Along with that comes little universal truths like believing in yourself, not giving up and being happy.
You can't go wrong with that. So do it.
Breath Of Fresh Air
Well, sharing my non-smoker's story felt like a breath of fresh air, so I'd like to thank you all for your attention for my Ryze guest post. But actually, the truth is, I'm always breathing fresh air.
You can too, when you realize you have all the power in the world to create your own path and be happy.
So how about you? How do you feel about smoking, peer pressure, and taking a stand? Let me know in the comments!

The big message I try to get out with this blog is that people who identity and live as a gender other their birth gender can live life and have fun no-matter what part of their journey they are. The trigger for this weeks post is the fact I'm in a cast for Pantomime. I fancied giving it a go and auditioned and got a part.
I didn't do anything 'special' I found out about a local theatre school through a friend who was part of the school. She was performing in a show which I really enjoyed and reminded me of a production I'd been part of 5 years ago. That production unfortunately failed to hit stage but I really enjoyed the experience, and coupled with my LARP decided to take the chance and audition. Exactly the same as my friend had done for the production she was in (she's also now in the Panto), and exactly the same as anyone else can do.
It was definitely a nervy experience, but only natural nerves because it's a new experience, I have no formal acting/dancing/singing training, but initial conversations via facebook made it clear that low levels of experience didn't matter – they'd work with me to get through any areas I found tough.
The reason I'm telling you about this is to, hopefully, encourage people who are going through similar journey's to me to just go for it and have fun. I've always said I've been fortunate that I make friends fairly easily, and it's my appreciation of my situation that triggered this blog, but ultimately while I had a good friend at the threatre – the only bits she's helped with (so far) are introducing me via facebook to a member of theatre staff, and gave me the inspiration to go for it.
Fancy doing something, could be theatre, a reading group, playing live music, roleplaying, anything, you don't need friends to get involved.. but once your involved you WILL make friends. Just google for something your interested in and get in touch. You WILL be nervous, that's natural, but I've yet to get into any group of any form and have anything other than a friendly face, lots of hugs and lots of fun.
It's easier having friends to go with, but as my experience with the theatre shows, just get out and get involved. My friend was unable to make the audition or first rehearsal so apart from being there for moral support, I was meeting people for the first time on my own, not knowing how people would react – exactly the same as for you if you decide to think 'yes I can do 'that' ' – whatever that is. Living in a gender other than your birth gender does not stop you doing things, some areas can definitely be tough, employment especially can be tough – despite laws protecting us, but when it comes to volunteering and hobbies and pastimes really there are no limits.
I've sung in Open Mics, volunteered for a variety of things including working with teaching young carers, LARP and a national exhibition at the NEC, do LARP, now in a theatre production, go to local pubs, play roller derby, go to HIIT sessions at the local gym.. many of them are nervy the first time you go, indeed I still am a bit wary of going to HIIT on my own, but honestly in all of that I've had zero issues relating to my gender identity.
Work – I do wonder if some struggles for promotion have been GI related, but then I've now got two jobs, one working as a home-care worker, and am going to train as a Nurse, so even there if you plug away you should be able to find work. If you do struggle with paid, then do voluntary – I cannot rate voluntary work highly enough.
I certainly am not trying to make all this sound easy!! I was a complete nervous wreck at auditions, for example, and it does require some mental strength, but the fact is if I can do it, you can. It can be incredibly nerve racking going to a new group on your own, but honestly I've not joined a single group where I've had anything other than positive reactions – just be yourself and have fun!!
Postcript: None of the groups I'm involved with are LGBT specific, or advertised as LGBT friendly. I'm just getting involved in groups because I want to, and not seeking out LGBT friendly variants – so don't think you have to.

By age 12, children should have mastered multiplication tables to the point where they can implement them in solving long multiplication problems, according to KidSpot. Children ages 9 and 10 begin learning their times tables and develop an understanding of number sentences to represent multiplication facts.
Times table grids, singing, rhymes and story cards are good teaching tools for 9- and 10-year olds when learning multiplication facts, explains KidSpot. Singing and rhymes can help children memorize multiplication tables better if they have an auditory learning style. Learning to write sentences based on real-life experiences using multiplication tables can encourage visualization skills and oral listening during the learning process.
