'At 11.00pm on 4 August 1914, King George V on the advice of his curates officially declared war on Germany. He did so on behalf of the full British imperium. 'This assumed it would take topographic point in abroad districts in the British Empire besides. This made it a universe war. The declaration implied that the human and material resources of the British Empire may be drawn upon. The early indicants showed that King George was non incorrect about the trueness of the imperium. 'Imperial partisans in Britain were gratified by the evident heat of response, which seemed to back their vision of a carbon monoxide secret agent and even centralised imperium ' .[ 2 ]The imperium rallied around the British with support. The support of the imperium was publicised greatly in Britain for illustration the Manchester defender 's hebdomadal devoted infinite to the accomplishment of imperial military personnels.
The British Empire is an country of history that is alone. 'Tudor and Stuart England are fixed ; by contrast the imperium is non merely an gawky animal but one that invariably changes its size and form.[ 3 ]It was n't recognised as a proper field of historical survey until the center of the nineteenth century. Many historiographers compare imperial Britain to imperial Rome. Historian Bryce said, 'The British, like the Romans, were law-givers. The political imperium might disintegrate, but the jurisprudence remained ' .[ 4 ]The importance of the imperium in history has increased, as Europe counted for less, the imperium counted for more. The imperium reached its extremum in the 1930 's when it was still integral and at its greatest extent. Therefore universe war one had non badly damaged it. But it had revealed the strengths and failings of it.
Ronald Hyam, in Britain 's imperial century 1815-1914 said that Britain 's imperial century came to an terminal in 1915 in the clay of Flanders ; this position shows that universe war one brought about failings to the imperium and was easy gnawing off at it. The war can be seen as sharpening self consciousness of the states and have oning off imperial integrity. 'T.O. Lloyd, in the British imperium 1558-1983, observes Soldiers went out to contend because Britain was at war, but they fought as Canadians or as Australians ' .[ 5 ]Their ain individuality was going more of import to them and universe war one brought out this failing. They were nevertheless volunteering demoing that the imperium had the strength to convey its settlements together.
The British Empire had a great part from settlements affecting two and half million colonial military personnels. The settlements non merely provide military personnels but stuffs and money. India 's part was really valuable and provided free by India. Official statistics record that during the war 400,000 + Canadians served overseas, 50,000 were killed. 330,000 Australians went and 59,000 killed. Indian princes instantly offered their services and those of their military personnels, 1440,000 were gathered into the Indian ground forces. Even the bantam West Indian besides colonies contributed.[ 6 ]In Canada the conservative authorities endorsed it along with its broad resistance. 'All over the imperium immature work forces volunteered because they felt that they were British and that Britain was in danger, but they were organised by their ain authoritiess and fought as Australians or Canadians ' .[ 7 ]Therefore it would look from the exterior that the imperium was strong and a united force. However muster did do tenseness in Canada and Australia. Canada introduced it in late 1917 whereas Australia held two referendums where the electorate rejected muster. This is non to state they were rejecting the war they merely did non desire it to be mandatory. 'Seen from the interior, it was an confederation of six or seven authoritiess working closely together for a common aim… with occasional minutes of tenseness ' .[ 8 ]
The First World War was a war between all the imperialist powers such as the British, Gallic, Tsarist, Austro Hungarian, German and Ottoman Empires. Before the war the British Empire was confronting competition from other imperiums, for illustration the German Empire. 'The instead relaxed, informal imperialism which the British had enjoyed had to decease in these fortunes ' .[ 9 ]Britain was non merely holding to fix to contend but was fixing to keep on to what it had. The war was fought utilizing the resources of the imperiums. For illustration India 's part was really valuable and provided free. In order to acquire the resources of their imperiums they either used coercion or promised hereafter betterments. However these promises were so frequently broken after universe war one making jobs and failings within the imperium. 'The British Empire survived so expanded while others collapsed, but the costs were high both in footings of money and for good altered imperial relationships ' .[ 10 ]
In the Middle East the British made Egypt a associated state, this antagonised subjects who wanted a decreased British function. Therefore Britain had to do promises to see self authorities, in consequence assuring the Arab universe independency after the war. This contradicted with its ain aspirations, hence in the immediate wake of the war many Arabs felt betrayed by Britain, they had risen up and were non acquiring what they had been promised. A similar job occurred with the Jewish community. Britain wanted their support and wanted them to buttonhole their ain authoritiess to remain in the war so issued the Belfour deflation in 1917 promising to back up the thought of a national place foe the Jews. This led to conflicting promises. Another illustration of promises that were made is in India. Britain needed India and so India was a major British concern it did non desire to antagonize it and did non hold the power to hale it into action or force its will. Therefore in 1917 the secretary of province for India issue a celebrated Montague declaration, assuring India self authorities within the British Empire and subsequently followed this up with promises India would be involved in the procedure of regulating India. Britain would hold control of cardinal issues. The war accelerated the gait of political alteration in India. But it is debateable whether or non Britain would hold made political committednesss to reform in India without the force per unit area of war.
Failings in the imperium were hence going evident although it was at its extremum the largest imperium the universe had of all time known holding power and influence stretch across the universe, the war tested its power, it had to do promises to profit from them ; this is non grounds of a strong imperium able to depend on its settlements. It had effects. Therefore the war brought the British Empire together but besides brought about failings. At the terminal moral and capital was both reduced. After the war had finished Britain faced many problems that can be attributed to the war. It faced jobs in India, the Middle East and Ireland. But it can non all be blamed on the war but besides on a long term tendency which was her political and economic diminution in the universe. 'Since the 1870s this diminution had been evident, though at that clip non really distressing because she had some manner to worsen before her lead was taken from her ' .[ 11 ]The imperium was faced by challenges of industrially immature states like Germany, Russia and the US. The war had helped maintain them at bay but even with Germany wounded Britain was non strong plenty to capitalize on it after the war. So this showed a failing in the British Empire. 'As it turned out the war had weakened her for good ' .[ 12 ]
There were besides assorted rebellions but none to do excessively much concern. Robert Holland argues that the war did non do these it merely created the right clip for them to kick about colonial regulation. So this could be said to be conveying out pre bing failings within the imperium. For illustration in South Africa there was a minor Afrikaner rebellion, but the authorities easy suppressed it. However the domestic impact of the First World War had hence left the South African party even more in danger of being outflanked by hawkish Afrikaner patriots hostile to British Empire. Their engagement brought about a turning sense of rule patriotism which is a failing for the imperium. There were those who felt more sympathy for the German cause, the election showed that half the African population opposed contending the war on the British side. There was political force per unit area turning even before the war in India and Ireland, and rules were demanding liberty within the imperium. This could be said to worsen and to speed up. The official response was united but was non universally welcomed in world. Effort to acquire resources frequently deepened pre bing tensenesss and divisions. The districts hence varied widely in their civilizations, their resources and their independency. The First World War had hence affected this varicolored imperium to different grades. There were immediate station war crises in Egypt, India and Ireland. But even with the war the British people were still committed to the imperium and it would be wrong to presume otherwise. Victory in war was frequently interpreted as an accomplishment of imperium. But it did demo a definite failing, Britain would hold to give away grants and greater self authorities if the imperium was to last in the hereafter. 'The attachment of imperium peoples to the imperium connexion was non undisputed or unconditioned ' .[ 13 ]
War brought out strengths and failings of the British naval forcess. With settlements all over the universe Britain can guarantee its safety. Great Britain had a immensely superior naval presence ; non merely in footings of Numberss, but besides the strength of single ships. Fiscal parts from the imperium to Britain 's war attempt were besides much needed and frequently liberally given though sometimes forcefully obtained. Britain besides received money from the settlements as the greatest trade state so could afford more ships. For illustration the raj authorities presented 100 million, natural stuffs and other supplies were besides given, purchased or taken for the imperiums cause. Plus all the money they would acquire from these settlements would increase their exchequer for more ships without the naval forces ; Britain could non hold stayed in the war. Although it fought merely one fleet action, at Jutland on 31 May 1916, it prevented the German naval forces from interrupting out of the confines of the North Sea.[ 14 ]However, the British Empire was wholly unprepared for modern warfare such as trench warfare.
The Great War besides showed a failing in the imperium that was that Germany and non Britain was the fastest turning economic power. It had become extremely industrialized leting it to easy provide mass ground forcess. The British Empire was in danger of being over taken. World war one showed that the British Empire was non every bit strong as it had believed. It had non been easy to get the better of Germany. The place of the industrial revolution was Britain. Britain had a period of unagitated assurance. This was known as kiss of peace Britannia. But this could non last everlastingly and spurred the other states to catch up. World war one showed they had well.[ 15 ]The British had suffered 1000000s of casualties and liquidated assets at an dismaying rate, which led to debt accretion, inversion of capital markets and manpower lacks in the staffing of widespread imperial stations in Asia and the African settlements. The settlements proved their power in the war. Many of Britain 's resources lay in her settlements. But even with this, Britain 's resources were being stretched more than they of all time had before. The imperiums resources still had non been plenty for Britain to win the war comfortably.
It did nevertheless demo British strength at coming together as one united force, despite the great distances between settlements and authorizations and the size of the imperium. However there had now been two of import struggles, the South African war and the First World War, the Second World War was to come and prove the imperium to the bounds. Britain had in the short term survived the war and expanded which shows strength of the imperium but for how long was the inquiry. The heavy costs of the war undermined its capacity to keep the huge imperium. Nationalist sentiment grew in both old and new Imperial districts, fuelled by pride at Empire military personnels ' engagement in the war. Colonies began to desire more independency. The war had created the semblance of imperial integrity on the surface but clefts had opened up. It exacerbated tensenesss that had existed before the war. Self regulating rules were now more witting of their nationhood and of asseverating this. So the imperium as it one time stood now needed farther dialogues if it was to keep itself. However this can be said to merely be a fact of imperium, jobs are ever traveling to originate regardless of the war. Given Britain 's diminished status it was still able to keep an expanded planetary system, with a turning consciousness that the imperium should bear some of the load for keeping the imperial system.
Overall, at the start of universe war one Britain controlled more of the Earth than anyplace else but it emerged from universe war one fighting economically and holding made promises it could non honor. Therefore reveaing wekanesses of the imperium. However it did pull off to go on to maintain an imperium together and consolidate which is a strength. By the terminal of the war Britain emerged as the dominant power within the full Islam universe. Britain had ever assumed the imperium was an esstential and in national involvement. However the failings that were get downing to demo would shortly take to the interruption up of the imperium but for the clip being after universe war one it still remained a united but somewhat weakened force.

Tedswoodworking Plans
Burning. Burned edges (left) mean the blade is too fine for the material. A coarser blade clears sawdust better, reducing friction and burning (right).
Tearout or splintering. Torn fibers on the bottom surface of your work (left) can usually be avoided (right) by using a reverse-tooth blade.
Meltdown. Standard blades and fine-tooth blades tend to melt acrylic (bottom), but coarser "crown-tooth" blades produce a smooth edge (top).
PGT blades arc reverse-tooth blades whose teeth are precision-ground rather than milled, so they produce straightcr, smoother cuts than standard blades in many materials.
Spiral-tooth blades cut in every direction, but they leave a ragged edge. They're best for work that is too long to swing through the throat of your saw.
Blades come in numerical sixes ranging from #2/0 to #12 and coarser. Lower-numbered blades are thinner and narrow er and have more teeth per inch (tpi).
The most important factor influencing your choice of blade size is the hardness, or density, of die material you're cutting. Hardwoods and other dense materials generally cut better with coarser blades. Very thin materials such as veneers and thin plywood require fine-tooth blades.
The chart below shows the blades that I've found work best for many common materials. If you don't get the results you want, a few rules of thumb will help you select a better blade for the job. (See "Troubleshooting Guide,'' above.)
Many woodworkers just starting out on the scrollsaw don't tension their blades enough. Insufficient tension will make the blade tend to drift when sawing and will cause premature blade breakage, usually near the center of the blade. Breakage at the ends of the blade usually means your blade holders arc not pivoting freely, causing metal fatigue near the holders.
I've heard of people gauging blade tension by the pitch of the blade when it's plucked, but 1 prefer to use the u,/g-in. rule"—the blade shouldn't deflect more than !/g in. when you press your work against it. Blades stretch slightly in use, so it helps to periodically re-tension your blade as you work. A

Well, hasn't time flown. It doesn't seem two years ago that the Queen granted royal status to the London Borough of Greenwich but the anniversary of that date passed during the week just gone. If you remember, there were fireworks on three consecutive nights around the borough to mark the occasion - here's a little reminder from the fireworks in Eltham at the Tudor Barn.
It's also two years since the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery arrived Woolwich at their new purpose-built facilities. They've become a familiar sight being exercised on the borough's roads since then. Here they were down at the Old Royal Naval College in February 2012.
While it was "hello" to the King's Troop in February 2012, it will be "goodbye" for another group of soldiers this February. As I mentioned in last week's round up, the Royal Artillery Band are being moved to Wiltshire after calling Woolwich home for 250 years. Their farewell performance is Sunday 9th Feb in General Gordon Square at 1.30pm.
Over on the Greenwich.co.uk forum, on which anyone can start a discussion about local issues, I have posted some details of Cathedral Group's redevelopment proposals for the Alcatel Lucent site in East Greenwich.
There's also an update, via local running trainer Ellie Brown, on what's happening with the tea pavillion in Greenwich Park. Find out here.
Next weekend, look out for free performances at the Queen's House where performance artists Akleriah resurrect the extraordinary rags to riches' life story of Lord Nelson's infamous mistress.

Housing a large number of rabbits in a stress-free, safe, and natural environment.
Design Criteria
What does a 'Rabbitat' structure entail?
- 'Rabbitat' structures should ideally be at least partially covered , the roof can range from traditional A-frame designs to open to covered with netting or wire.
- The interior should include benches, planters and ideally trellises.
- The benches and planters should be hollow with access holes resulting in tunnel-like hiding boxes for their homes/burrows. (This allows the rabbits to feel safe and avoid human contact if they choose to).
- The benches and planters can have hinged lids/sides for easy cleaning and emergency rabbit access , and they can have high backs to double as protection from line-of-sight predators and the elements.
- In some cases, the bases/boxes can extend into the ground to keep the rabbits cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Above ground boxes can be stuffed with straw.
- Edible plants can be incorporated as a cost-effective food/treat/enrichment source, with the plants caged/covered or positioned out of reach to prevent the rabbits from eating the roots.
- Food sources will include bales of hay and pellet feeders centrally located and undercover.
- Running water sources are ideal but not always affordable.
- Toilet areas should be as contained as possible. Feces will usually collect close to the hay, other toilet areas are still to be determined. (They do not like to soil their burrows so the boxes should not be overly messy).
- Ramps, steps and platforms can increase the footage available for roaming and provide access to a wider range of plants.
- If the area is too large to be encapsulated, the ground needs a network of tunnels and/or small shelters, bushes and bird flight deterrents like crisscrossed wires, flags and trees.
- Extensive ground wire or cover is needed to prevent burrowing while deep and high fencing is needed to keep predators from climbing or digging in.
- The structures must be double-gated and be inaccessible to unauthorized humans and other animals.
- Security 'Bunny Cams' will be incorporated or at least encouraged.
Rabbitats in Real Life
These images show great examples of the creative and innovative ways in which large numbers of rabbits can be kept safely and comfortably.

Albert Pinchbeck was the brother of Herman Pinchbeck. Together, they performed magic until Albert retired and took up a job at a Cradock Marine bank. Albert died in 2000 of a coronary, but Herman continued to perform. He and Billy LaBonge came up with an elaborate scheme to rob a bank. Herman refrigerated Albert's corpse and took up his identity at the bank, feigning injuries and leg amputation. Albert's corpse was used in an elaborate trick in which "Herman" rotated his head 360 degrees around his neck, prompting an investigation by Mulder and Scully. (TXF: "The Amazing Maleeni")

G used to sleep so well. When he was 9 or 10 months old (after moving into his own room), he finally started sleeping through the night. Around 13 months, that all started to change. The usual routine didn't work any more, and he started to wake up about once a night.
About a week ago, we started something different; we started a routine that has all the good stuff he needs in it. G's bedtime is roughly 7:30-8:00, so we start the whole routine around 7:00. The times aren't exact; sometimes certain things take longer/shorter than usual, and he doesn't always get a bath. I know the whole routine doesn't take a whole hour, but I haven't actually timed everything yet. I will update the times if I ever do that. Here's a rough outline of what we've been doing:
7:00 – Strip down to diaper, and have a snack. – This helps keep him from waking up hungry in the middle of the night.
7:15 – Clean up and brush teeth. – I try to get him to actually let me brush his teeth, but it doesn't last more than a few seconds and then he just bites down on it. Better than nothing, though. Sometimes we brush our teeth together, and he'll try to mimic how I brush mine.
7:20 – Bath time. – Because his dry skin is so bad, I try not to give him a bath every night, but he can get really dirty during the day sometimes.
7:35 – Towel off and put on diaper. – G is always really snuggly after his bath. If he doesn't get a bath, this is where I change his diaper and lotion him up. We use off brand Aquaphor from Aldi and Target; the stuff works great!
7:40 – Put on jammies. – This needs to be done right after the lotion to help lock in the moisture.
7:45 – Sip of water then books. – G will often pick out a book, then he'll sit in my lap on the recliner in his room while I read it to him. We usually read two to three books, depending on their size. Before the last book, I will turn on his sound machine and give him his pacifier and bunny. Then we read the last book for the night.
7:55 – Down to sleep. – I put him in his crib with his pacifier and bunny. Sometimes he fusses for about a minute, but he usually goes down pretty easily.
Like I mentioned before, this whole routine doesn't take quite as long as I made it sound. It usually takes closer to 40 minutes or so. This routine has been working fairly well for us. Now, it's just a matter of sticking with it.

As you would check the wheels on your car, your Opentrons robot requires service on its wheels as well to maintain optimal performance.
Tools needed:
-8mm / 10mm wrench
Take your 8mm/10mm wrench, using the 10mm side, and grasp the "eccentric screw" which is located between the plate and the wheel. Slowly turn your wrench until you feel a slight resistance. To test if the wheel has been tightened enough, grab the wheel with your pointer finger and thumb and attempt to turn the wheel manually. The wheel should be able to shift the robot's axis when you move it back and forth.

Product Description
This case is composed 7 pieces of clear acrylic sheets, and can hold your Witty Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi (model 3B, 3B+ or 4B) together. The acrylic sheets are 3mm thick and the case can protect your Witty Pi and Raspberry Pi very well.
The top cover can be opened so you can setup the jumpers or replace the battery. There is also a window for GPIO header, so you can still access all GPIO pins.
Step by Step Assembly Guide
Before starting the assembly, please follow the instructions in Witty Pi 3's user manual and have Witty Pi 3 firmly mounted above your Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B.
The case is composed of 7 acrylic plates. Each acrylic plate has protective membrane on its surfaces, and you will need to remove the membrane before going to the next step. Use tweezers or fingernails to peel off the membrane on both sides carefully, then you will see the smooth surfaces and the pieces will become transparent.
Now we have all 7 pieces ready. Here we mark them with number 1~7, to ease the description of later steps. The piece with number 1 will be described as piece #1.
Connect piece #1, piece #2 and piece #3 together, as shown below. If you are using Raspberry Pi 4, you need to replace piece #3 with piece #4. Please also make sure the pieces are placed in the correct direction.
Slide the top of the piece #5 over the two hooks on top, then gently pivot the plate downward over the two hooks at bottom. It should snap to the position. If you feel big resistance, don't push it, or you might break the hook. Please double check the direction of piece #5, the round hole or button should be on top-left position.
Put your Witty Pi 3 + Raspberry Pi in place, and use your hand to hold piece #2 and piece #3 (or #4 if you use Raspberry Pi 4).
Now mount the top cover (piece #6) on the other side. Make sure the direction is correct (the top cover has windows for GPIO headers).
Finally you can assembly piece #7 in the same way for piece #5. Please pay attention here, if you are using Raspberry Pi 4, you need to flip place #7 before assembly it, because Raspberry Pi 4 flip the positions for USB ports and ethernet port.
Now the assembly is done. Enjoy it!

MRSA – one of ther superbugs
Sixteen studies have been funded as part of a call for more research into drug resistant infections also known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Drug resistant infections present a major threat to the future of healthcare and could result in 10 million avoidable deaths in the world every year by 2050, from antibiotic resistant infections, such as MRSA, sepsis and multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The Manchester study is testing the ability of a new colour changing wound dressing for diabetic foot ulcers to detect infection, and whether it is resistant to antibiotics.
The research team have devised sensors, which will change colour when they come into contact with a patient's skin when exposed to pre-determined levels of microorganisms. Additionally some of these sensors only change colour if organisms have resistance to particular antibiotics. By combining several of these sensors in a wound dressing, information about the levels of microrganisms in the wound and their sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs will be clearly visible. Healthcare staff viewing this will immediately have information about the antibiotic drugs most likely to work.
Prompt administration of the correct first-line treatment is critical in reducing the risk of further more devastating complications, sepsis and amputation, particularly in the diabetic population. Currently the only alternative is for a clinician to notice signs of infection and arrange swabs and testing by hospital microbiology laboratories, with results taking up to a week.
Professor Dame Sally C. Davies, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Adviser at the Department of Health said: "Antimicrobial resistance is a very serious problem for society causing 5,000 deaths in the UK each year. We will lose this battle unless we get more evidence on how to prevent resistance in bacteria developing. That is why the research that the NIHR has committed to funding is so vital. This will help us stop current everyday health problems becoming fatal."
Other projects underway include research into interventions to improve antimicrobial prescribing of doctors in training, using probiotics to reduce infections in care homes, a clinical trial giving painkillers to children with ear infections instead of antibiotics, and a study looking at improving the management of drug resistant TB. View the full list of studies funded on our website (linked to be added once live).

$5,000 to $10,000 Car vs. Leasing a Brand New Nissan
The Difference in Buying a
$5,000 to $10,000 Car vs. Leasing a Brand New Nissan
Being a sales manager I see many different types of buyers every day. One thing I wish I could point out to customers is the difference between a $5,000 vehicle vs. leasing a brand new car and how much more bang you get for your buck in leasing the brand new vehicle. I have come up with some opinions I feel very strongly about. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me.
2001 Honda Civic LX (Headache)
Vehicle has 175,500 miles on it, check engine light may be on, there are tears in the seats, engine is worn out, and the rims have dings and dents. You might get through three years with the vehicle still running, have no maintenance and no warranty, and you're out of luck with nothing to show for your money anyway. The other huge problem is you actually end up spending more than $6,500 dollars because of all the maintenance problems the car may have. Think about this…Does any of this make sense when you have other options to make your situation better?
2014 Nissan Versa Note S+ (Peace of Mind)
36-month lease, full factory warranty, free maintenance with Bill Korum's Puyallup Nissan, free GAP insurance, 0 headaches, better fuel economy, better safety ratings, updated technology, up-to-date styling, more comfort, and many more benefits.
One big thing I think about is where is my money going? If you go and buy this $6,500 car with all the cash you have saved up over the last two years, THAT MONEY IS GONE! If you lease a car with all the new incentives and benefits available, your upfront out-of-pocket on a vehicle like this can be under $1,000, depending on your credit. Now the $6,500 you have can be put into an interest bearing savings account. If an emergency comes up, you have that money available to you right away, because it isn't tied up in a vehicle.

In this week's issue… Cox seeks TV partner in Boston, Pittsburgh – Townsquare suspends hosts – Remembering Clark Booth – Seven Mountains eyes Wilkes-Barre/Scranton – New pubradio hosts in NYC, Boston
By SCOTT FYBUSH
Jump to: ME – NH – VT – MA – RI – CT – NY – NJ – PA – Canada
*Hey, wanna own – or at least run – a couple of big TV stations in Boston and Pittsburgh?
Cox Media Group is hoping someone out there says yes to that offer as it looks for a buyer or an operating partner for its 14 television stations nationwide, including Fox affiliate WFXT (Channel 25) in Boston and NBC affiliate WPXI (Channel 11) in Pittsburgh.
Why sell, why now…and to whom? While Cox has been a successful media operator across multiple fronts – newspaper, radio, TV, cable – going as far back as the turn of the 20th century, its broadcast operations haven't kept up with the 21st century conglomerate model that values a broad nationwide footprint over dominance in any individual market.

From the NERW Archives
Yup, we've been doing this a long time now, and so we're digging back into the vaults for a look at what NERW was covering one, five, ten, fifteen and twenty years ago this week, or thereabouts.
Note that the column appeared on an erratic schedule in its earliest years as "New England Radio Watch," and didn't go to a regular weekly schedule until 1997.
One Year Ago: July 31, 2017
*Grab a scorecard, if you will, because there's an interesting shuffle about to happen in NEW YORK's Southern Tier between two FM stations that share the same tower but have different owners.
Sound Communications' WENY-FM (92.7 Elmira) has been broadcasting from South Hill since it first hit the air in the 1960s; Kevin Fitzgerald and George Hawras' WPHD (96.1 South Waverly PA) is a much more recent arrival, having signed on only in 2003.
Last week, Sound and the Fitzgerald/Hawras partnership filed to swap licenses – but in a way that would leave Elmira-area listeners almost completely unaware that anything had changed. The application to exchange licenses says that Fitzgerald and Hawras will file to move the WENY-FM license from 92.7 to 96.1, using the exact facilities now occupied by WPHD, and will change calls to WPHD as well. At the same time, Sound will file to move the WPHD license from 96.1 to 92.7, using the current WENY-FM facilities, and change calls to WENY-FM.
If it's granted by the FCC, the only thing listeners might notice (and only if they're especially alert) is that 96.1 would become "WPHD Elmira," while 92.7 would identify as "WENY-FM South Waverly."
What's going on here? As we explored last week in our "Top of the Tower" podcast, there's only one reason for going through all of this FCC sleight-of-hand: a station licensed to Elmira, in Chemung County, is in the Elmira-Corning radio market for the purposes of the Commission's ownership caps – but a station licensed over the state line in South Waverly is outside any rated radio market and thus governed by contour overlaps when it comes to determining ownership caps. And since the Elmira-Corning market is a strange beast that extends into sprawling Steuben County, far beyond the reach of the 92.7 or 96.1 signals, the use of contour overlaps just might allow Sound owner Paige Christian to do something she can't do right now, which would be to add another FM signal to her existing holdings in the market.
*MAINE Public Radio is adding a new midcoast signal with the $550,000 purchase of Blueberry Broadcasting's WTQX (96.7 Boothbay Harbor). The station has been relaying rocker WTOS (105.1 Skowhegan), but will join MPBN's "Maine Public Classical" network this fall when the deal closes, under new calls WBQA.
MPBN has also filed for new calls for two of its new classical network stations: WFYB (91.5 Fryeburg) becomes WBQF, while WRMO (93.7 Milbridge) becomes WBQE.
Five Years Ago: July 29, 2013
*The newest commercial radio station in CANADA's biggest market is about to launch, bringing to a close a four-year battle for the future of the 88.1 dial position in Toronto.
As NERW readers know, Ryerson University's CKLN lost its license for the frequency and went silent in 2011 after 28 years on the air. CKLN's license revocation opened a CRTC free-for-all that saw 22 broadcasters apply for the last significant open spot on the Toronto FM dial. The winner in the scrum turned out to be Barrie's Rock 95 Broadcasting, which is now just days away from launching its new signal as CIND, "Indie 88.1."
After several months of streaming a preview version of "Indie," the CIND on-air signal went live in test form late last week with a real-life "Rickroll," playing a nonstop loop of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" ahead of its planned official launch on Wednesday at noon.
When "Indie" launches for real, its staff will include PD Adam Thompson, former CBC Radio 3 host Raina Douris as music director, and Canadian rock radio legend Alan Cross as "music guidance counselor." CIND launches with just 500 watts from the roof of First Canadian Place, the old CKLN transmitter site, but it has a pending application to boost its power to 4000 watts DA from there.
*All that noise about "four layoffs per cluster" at Clear Channel? That overheated prediction hasn't come to pass, but last week did bring a handful of high-profile talent departures at specific Clear Channel outlets. In Harrisburg, Bob Durgin announced his impending retirement after 24 years holding down the afternoon shift at talker WHP (580). Durgin's last show will air this Friday, August 2, with a listener party and live broadcast from the Radisson Penn Harris hotel in Camp Hill; no replacement for the shift has been named yet, and the buzz seems to suggest that Clear Channel will plug the syndicated Sean Hannity into a live clearance in Durgin's 3-6 PM slot.
*In MASSACHUSETTS, a veteran member of the WCVB (Channel 5) news team is planning her retirement next year. Susan Wornick has been with channel 5 since 1981, and has been anchoring the midday news since 1989, while also leading the station's consumer reporting team. Wornick will be inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame this fall, and in March 2014 she'll leave the station.
The Boston Herald has made it official: next Monday morning (August 5) will bring the official launch of "Boston Herald Radio." The streaming service will operate from a studio adjoining the paper's newsroom, and the initial lineup of four three-hour shows will be heavy on veterans of other Boston talk outlets. Jeff Katz, who was the morning man on the former WXKS (Talk 1200), will handle 6-9 AM, followed at 9 by "Morning Meeting" with Jaclyn Cashman and Hillary Chabot. Michael Graham, late of Greater Media's WTKK (96.9, now WBQT), will be heard from noon-3 PM, followed at 3 by "Sports Town with Jon Meterparel and Jen Royle."
*In CONNECTICUT, Kim Zachary has returned to WDRC-FM (102.9 Hartford) after almost two decades. Zachary did news on WDRC from 1991-1994 (and was then married to traffic reporter Jim Sharpley); later on, she moved up I-91 to Springfield and a long run co-hosting mornings on WHYN-FM (93.1) with her second husband, Dan Williams. Dan and Kim tried their hands at morning TV last year at Springfield's WGGB (Channel 40) and had more recently been doing an online show; last week, Zachary joined the WDRC-FM morning show alongside Jerry Kristafer and Mike Stevens.
Ten Years Ago: July 28 & August 4, 2008
*It may be licensed to Hackensack, NEW JERSEY, but Salem Communications has big New York City plans for the former WWDJ (970).
After spending the last 24 years under various iterations of a religious format, WWDJ changed calls to WTTT late last week, swapping callsigns with Salem's AM 1150 in Boston. (More on that in a bit.)
But the WTTT calls, installed in Boston in 2003 when Salem flipped that station to a talk format, aren't going to be permanent fixtures on the New York dial. Instead, the station – which is in the process of completing its daytime power upgrade from 5,000 to 50,000 watts – will change calls again, possibly as soon as today, to WNYM, becoming "970 the Apple" and flipping to Salem's in-house lineup of syndicated talk programming.
The new schedule includes Bill Bennett's "Morning in America," followed by Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt. Similar formats have failed to draw significant ratings in other big cities for Salem, at stations such as WNTP (990 Philadelphia), WIND (560 Chicago) and KRLA (870 Glendale/Los Angeles). But even if it doesn't draw much in the way of numbers in New York, clearing the talk lineup in the nation's number-one market is likely to allow Salem to charge more for national advertising during the shows – and indeed, many have wondered why Salem didn't pursue such a format flip sooner.
Why the WNYM calls? There's a history there – when Salem entered the New York market back in 1981 by purchasing the former WEVD(AM) on 1330, WNYM was the new callsign the company picked. That callsign lasted until 1989, when Salem sold WNYM (which had by then absorbed WPOW, the other half of the old 1330 share-time) and purchased WMCA (570). The former WNYM on 1330 is now WWRV, and continues to transmit from the site in Hackensack shared with 970.
As for that "Apple" nickname, that has a history in New York City, too – a quarter-century ago, it was the new moniker of the former WTFM (103.5 Lake Success), and for a few short years the renamed WAPP had some success as a top-40 outlet and a rocker before going urban as WQHT, "Hot 103.5." (Today, the 103.5 facility is dancing as WKTU, another venerable New York call, while WQHT prepares to mark its twentieth anniversary on its current frequency, 97.1.)
*Even as the Hackensack station changes its call letters, the total number of religious AM stations in the Garden State will remain constant: Millennium Radio is selling WBUD (1260 Trenton) to the Domestic Church Media Foundation for $2.3 million. Domestic Church, based just across the Delaware River in Fairless Hills, PA, will flip WBUD from its current Fox Sports format, which has been in place only since April, to a religious format once the deal closes. The station is also likely to go non-commercial, we hear.
*Two obituaries from the Empire State: On Long Island, they're remembering Kevin Jeffries, whose career began at college station WCWP and included stints at commercial stations WHLI, WPAC, WBAB, WRIV, WALK and WLNG. Jeffries also worked for Cablevision as a voiceover announcer. He was 59.
And Sherman Maxwell was known on the air as "Jocko" during a radio career that began way back in 1929, when he began announcing sports on WNJ in Newark. Later heard on Jersey City's WHOM and New York's WRNY, Maxwell boasted of being the first black sports announcer in America. While much of his coverage focused on the old Negro League, including a stint as stadium announcer for the Newark Eagles, his career outlasted the league; he remained active on the air as late as 1967. Maxwell died July 16 in West Chester, Pennsylvania, at the age of 100.
*Broadcasters in CANADA are abandoning the AM dial in droves – and now competitors Newcap and Rogers have found a way to swap properties that will allow each of them to get rid of an AM signal, replacing it with an FM.
For Newcap in Halifax, Nova Scotia and for Rogers in Sudbury, Ontario, the CRTC rule limiting a single owner to no more than two FM signals in a market has been a problem. In Sudbury, Rogers has CJRQ (92.7), CJMX (105.3) and CIGM (790), the last remaining AM in the market. In Halifax, Newcap owns CFRQ (104.3), CKUL (96.5) and that market's last AM, CFDR (780) – and when it purchased CKUL earlier this year, it was unable to carry out its application to move CFDR to FM, which the CRTC had granted in 2007 on the condition that Newcap sell its then-50% interest in CKUL.
So Rogers and Newcap are trading their AMs, giving Newcap a second station in Sudbury, where it owns CHNO (103.9), and giving Rogers a second station to add to its existing news station, CHNI (95.7), in Halifax. Rogers will pay Newcap C$5 million to even out the deal.
And since Rogers and Newcap each own only one FM in Halifax and Sudbury, respectively, there will be no ownership-limit issues with moving both CFDR and CIGM to FM. (CFDR's application called for 21 kW on 88.9; there's no word yet on what frequency or power CIGM will seek in Sudbury).
There was another AM-to-FM move in Ontario last week, but CHOK (1070 Sarnia ON) isn't going silent. Because Blackburn Radio already owns two FM signals in Sarnia, CFGX 99.9 and CHKS 106.3, it can't flip CHOK completely to FM. It can, however, add an FM booster for in-city coverage, and that's just what happened last Wednesday (July 23) at 7:10 AM, as CHOK-FM1 signed on at 103.9. The station is now known as "Country 103.9," and its airstaff remains intact.
Fifteen Years Ago: July 28 & August 4, 2003
*The news from CANADA this week seems to be the same as the news from Canada last week, and the week before…yet another station has dropped a top-40 format to stake its hopes for higher ratings on the classic hits/hot AC hybrid variously known as "Jack" (the original, developed down on Long Island by Bob "Cadillac Jack Garrett" Perry and friends), "Bob" and "Dave."
When the CHUM Group does it in places like Ottawa and Brockville, it's Bob – as listeners to London's CHST (102.3) discovered Thursday night, when top 40 "Star 102.3" went away and resurfaced as "102.3 Bob FM." What frontiers still remain for this format? Canada's #1 market already has it, of course – though there's an interesting rumo(u)r that CHUM actually contemplated flipping CHUM-FM itself to "104.5 Bob FM" before Rogers beat it to the punch and flipped CISS (92.5) from "Kiss" to "Jack" – but there's still Montreal and Windsor to conquer. And we'll be interested to see whether U.S. broadcasters begin taking note of Jack and Bob's ratings success north of the border and hop on the Bob-wagon.
*Speaking of Toronto, CHIN-1-FM (101.3) is moving spots on the dial. We hear its new 91.9 signal is already being heard in the Etobicoke area; 101.3 will go away soon to make room for the new Canadian Multicultural Rado signal up there. (CHIN-1-FM simulcasts CHIN's AM 1540 signal, a separate program feed from the big CHIN-FM 100.7 signal.)
*And a launch date has been set for Toronto's new TV station. "Toronto One" will sign on September 19, promising a program lineup that includes locally-produced entertainment shows, "Monday Night Football," the Toronto Raptors and Fox's baseball playoff schedule, the World Series and all. Toronto One will appear for broadcast viewers as CKXT-TV (Channel 52), with a low-power relay on channel 45 in Hamilton. On cable, it'll show up somewhere below channel 14, though a definite position hasn't been announced yet.
*The newest radio station in PENNSYLVANIA signed on Friday. WPHD (96.1 South Waverly) is stunting as "Fab 96," playing nothing but Beatles music for a coverage area that stretches north and east to Elmira, NY; that's the same stunt that owner Kevin Fitzgerald used to relaunch what's now "Cozy 104," WCOZ (103.9 Laporte), a few months back.
*TV viewers in Utica had two choices last week if they wanted to see local news. This week, they're down to just one after Clear Channel shut down the news operation at ABC affiliate WUTR (Channel 20), closing the books on a newsroom that's struggled in second place in the Mohawk Valley ever since the station's 1970 sign-on. For a little while in the mid-nineties, WUTR almost caught up to dominant NBC affiliate WKTV (Channel 2), but the station's eventual sale to Ackerley – putting it in the same hands as ABC affiliate WIXT (Channel 9) 45 miles away in Syracuse – put the pieces in place for its eventual demise.
While WUTR got a snappy new graphics package from WIXT, it also lost much of its independence as Ackerley moved the station's master control and, later, its morning newscast to Syracuse. Weekend news came and went on channel 20, setting in motion a vicious circle that gave WKTV more viewers and WUTR less money to work with. So it was no great surprise on Friday (Aug. 1) when WUTR's 5 PM newscast failed to appear, and in its place was the WIXT broadcast, with all that news of Oswego and Auburn and Cortland and DeWitt that Utica viewers care so little about. And WIXT's newscasts are all that WUTR viewers will see now, if they bother to watch. Clear Channel, which bought WUTR and WIXT (and four other upstate stations) from Ackerley, says it will provide additional coverage of Utica-area weather and news on the WIXT/WUTR newscasts – but do WIXT viewers want coverage of New York Mills and Herkimer? (We'd bet not.)
Twenty Years Ago: July 27 & August 3, 1998
*If at first you don't succeed…shuffle your anchors around and try again. That seems to be the philosophy in MASSACHUSETTS at Boston's WBZ-TV (Channel 4), where the latest anchor shuffle splits the team of Jack Williams and Liz Walker after almost 20 years together. Here's how it plays out: Walker will move from co-anchoring the 6 PM newscast to a new hourlong newscast at 5. Williams will anchor the 6 by himself, at least for now (although Virginia Cha is rumored to be joining him there sometime soon), and Joe Shortsleeve gets promoted to co-anchor at 5 and 11. Getting ousted from their evening spots are veteran meteorologist Bruce Schwoegler and anything-but-veteran wrestling-announcer-turned-anchor Sean Mooney. Schwoegler moves to weekends for now, although NERW hears he's looking at other jobs both on and off the air. Mooney goes to mornings after less than a year as 11PM co-anchor; always-tactful BZ chief Ed Goldman tells the Boston Globe he's "not going to say we screwed up" by putting Mooney in such a high-profile slot. Ed Carroll, who came to WBZ from Springfield's WGGB (Channel 40) a few years back, gets the top weather slots at 5, 6, and 11, with Barry Burbank joining Mooney, Suzanne Bates, and Scott Wahle on the morning crew in Carroll's old spot. At noon, WBZ radio legend Gary LaPierre keeps his TV side gig. NERW's sorry to see Schwoegler get demoted; as with Williams' removal from the 11 last year, we don't see what's to be gained by taking a well-liked, well-respected broadcast veteran off the air.
*Somebody tell the folks at 5 TV Place they can go home now: This week's issue of TV Guide has an article about children's TV, with a mention of the "now-defunct WCVB" in Boston. (Well, it must be — after all, WHDH-TV is alive and well, right?)
*In NEW YORK, the morning team of Mason and Sheehan will soon be history in the Albany market. After moving from WPYX (106.5) to WXCR (102.3 Ballston Spa) last year, the duo apparently failed to provide the ratings boost that the newer rock station hoped for, so WXCR is buying out their contract effective August 31. Across town at WFLY…was the Hillary Clinton banner stunt we told you about last week actually done with the full knowledge of station management? And was the one-day "suspension" of the jocks involved actually a planned publicity stunt? That's what we're hearing, and we're not surprised. And, hey, it landed WFLY a mention in Time magazine this week…
*In the Albany market, funky little AAA WXLE (104.5 Mechanicsville) passes from Foley Broadcasting to the decidedly un-funky folks at Capstar, with a reported $2.6 million going the other way. It joins the former SFX Albany group — WTRY (980 Troy/98.3 Rotterdam), WPYX (106.5 Albany), and WGNA (1460/107.7 Albany) under the umbrella of the Hicks, Muse folks from Texas. Staying in the Capital District for a moment, we note a series of changes at Brian Larson's religious stations north of Albany, with WNGX (91.9 Argyle) changing to WNGN and the former WNGN (97.5 Hoosick Falls) taking the WZEC calls in preparation for its future as a simulcast of Auritaur's WBEC-FM (105.5 Pittsfield MA). W04DA in Troy becomes WNGX-LP, just to keep the calls in the Larson family. And congratulations to veteran Albany broadcaster (and friend of this column) Joe Condon of WROW/WYJB. He's been nominated for "Medium Market Personality of the Year" in the Marconi awards, and you can guess who NERW'll be rooting for come October. (Other Empire State Marconi nominees: New York's WQEW (1560) for Adult Standards Station and WSKQ (97.9) for Spanish Station of the Year.)
*In the Hudson Valley, it looks like WVIP (1310 Mount Kisco) won't go permanently silent after all. Jonathan Becker's Suburban Broadcasting, which owns WGCH (1490) just over the Connecticut state line in Greenwich, has agreed to pay the estate of Martin Stone $675,000 for the dark station. You'll recall that WVIP was silenced last fall by a fire that destroyed its studio.

Abstract Interorganizational process design is challenged
by a number of factors: There is no central governance,
processes change over time and the stakeholders from the
different organizations can hardly meet physically to agree
on a mutually acceptable process. A process modeling
session in the traditional way can therefore not be executed.
In this paper we try to overcome the problems by offering
an approach that allows for distributed process modeling
and negotiation. Complemented by video or telephone
conferencing the whole design can be done without any
physical meeting. Much of the design work can even be
done offline at the stakeholders' discretion.

First Sunday in Lent
FIRST READING: Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7
15The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it. 16But the LORD told him, "You may eat fruit from any tree in the garden, 17except the one that has the power to let you know the difference between right and wrong. If you eat any fruit from that tree, you will die before the day is over!"
3:1The snake was sneakier than any of the other wild animals that the LORD God had made. One day it came to the woman and asked, "Did God tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?"
2The woman answered, "God said we could eat fruit from any tree in the garden, 3except the one in the middle. He told us not to eat fruit from that tree or even to touch it. If we do, we will die."
4"No, you won't!" the snake replied. 5"God understands what will happen on the day you eat fruit from that tree. You will see what you have done, and you will know the difference between right and wrong, just as God does."
6The woman stared at the fruit. It looked beautiful and tasty. She wanted the wisdom that it would give her, and she ate some of the fruit. Her husband was there with her, so she gave some to him, and he ate it too. 7Right away they saw what they had done, and they realized they were naked. Then they sewed fig leaves together to make something to cover themselves.
PSALMODY: Psalm 32
1Our God, you bless everyone
whose sins you forgive and wipe away.
2You bless them by saying,
"You told me your sins, without trying to hide them,
and now I forgive you."
3Before I confessed my sins, my bones felt limp,
and I groaned all day long.
4Night and day your hand weighed heavily on me,
and my strength was gone as in the summer heat.
5So I confessed my sins and told them all to you.
I said, "I'll tell the LORD each one of my sins."
Then you forgave me and took away my guilt.
6We worship you, LORD, and we should always pray
whenever we find out that we have sinned.
Then we won't be swept away by a raging flood.
7You are my hiding place! You protect me from trouble,
and you put songs in my heart
because you have saved me.
8You said to me, "I will point out the road
that you should follow.
I will be your teacher and watch over you.
9Don't be stupid like horses and mules
that must be led with ropes to make them obey."
10All kinds of troubles will strike the wicked,
but your kindness shields those who trust you, LORD.
11And so your good people should celebrate and shout.
SECOND READING: Romans 5:12-19
12Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. 13Sin was in the world before the Law came. But no record of sin was kept, because there was no Law. 14Yet death still had power over all who lived from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. This happened, though not everyone disobeyed a direct command from God, as Adam did.
In some ways Adam is like Christ who came later. 15But the gift that God was kind enough to give was very different from Adam's sin. That one sin brought death to many others. Yet in an even greater way, Jesus Christ alone brought God's gift of kindness to many people.
16There is a lot of difference between Adam's sin and God's gift. That one sin led to punishment. But God's gift made it possible for us to be acceptable to him, even though we have sinned many times. 17Death ruled like a king because Adam had sinned. But that cannot compare with what Jesus Christ has done. God has been so kind to us, and he has accepted us because of Jesus. And so we will live and rule like kings.
18Everyone was going to be punished because Adam sinned. But because of the good thing that Christ has done, God accepts us and gives us the gift of life. 19Adam disobeyed God and caused many others to be sinners. But Jesus obeyed him and will make many people acceptable to God.
GOSPEL: Matthew 4:1-11
The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert, so that the devil could test him. 2After Jesus had gone without eating for forty days and nights, he was very hungry. 3Then the devil came to him and said, "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread."
4Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say:
'No one can live only on food.
People need every word that God has spoken.' "
5Next, the devil took Jesus to the holy city and had him stand on the highest part of the temple. 6The devil said, "If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say:
'God will give his angels orders about you.
They will catch you in their arms,
and you won't hurt your feet on the stones.' "
7Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, 'Don't try to test the Lord your God!' "
8Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power. 9The devil said to him, "I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me."
10Jesus answered, "Go away Satan! The Scriptures say:
'Worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.' "
11Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.

People tend to be passionate about their local schools. That's especially true in State College these days. The State College School Board has a plan to tear down one high school building, and renovate another. Some residents oppose the plan, others support it, as Cynthia Berger reports. This Sunday, May 14, at 7:30 AM, on Take Note, WPSU talks with members of groups that support and oppose the proposed high school plan, as well as Centre Daily Times reporter Adam Smeltz, who's been following the story.

Doctor Who Story 123 – Arc of Infinity
Written by
Johnny Byrne
What's It About?
A tourist goes missing in Amsterdam, captured by a horrific looking creature living in a crypt; someone on has gained access to the Doctor's biodata, an act that could only be done by a high-ranking Time Lord; and a mysterious entity is attempting to manifest in our galaxy.
You put things off for a day and next thing you know, it's a hundred years later.
With "Arc of Infinity" I begin Doctor Who's 20th season. This is a huge accomplishment for the show. And to celebrate the beginning of this milestone, we have the return of Omega, last seen in "The Three Doctors."
I will start off by saying I enjoyed this story. I know fan opinion is generally against it (or so I have heard), but this story isn't really all that bad from an escapist perspective. It has a good pace and it can be entertaining. That said, it is an odd story because the individual elements don't all hang together. While I can generally get behind the crisis on Gallifrey and the biodata/Omega storyline, the Amsterdam storyline feels rather arbitrarily chosen, almost as if it was the real initial script and the Gallifrey/Omega stuff needed to be added in because it's the 20th year of the show. There are a few lines in the story about why Amsterdam is important (the techno-babblish arc of infinity), but there is no real reason for this and it doesn't naturally connect to the rest of the story.
With regard to Omega, there is a tragedy of the character that is hinted at but not fully manifest. Part of what works in "The Three Doctors" (and there is a lot that doesn't work there, but . . . oh look! Previous Doctors!) is that Omega is a tragic villain. He was abandoned by his people, by his partners. He was the soul that was crushed for the progress of Gallifreyan technology. He became a madman, yes, but you felt so sorry for him. In "Arc," we get a small glimpse of that, but it should be more. Our hearts should break for him.
Then there is Teagan. I liked her quite a bit in this story, but I'm still not entirely sure why we had the cliffhanger where she was left behind in "Time-Flight." It didn't seem to serve any purpose, and, so far, I don't see that there is much fallout from that cliffhanger. If this is not followed up with, I think it is a sorely missed opportunity.
While I have been critical of this story, make no mistake—I really enjoyed it. I liked the designs. I enjoyed the pace. I thought the story was interesting in its own way. I enjoyed seeing Peter Davison try his hand at a dual-role story, a Doctor Who trope that recurs throughout the series. It isn't a perfect story, but it is still quite enjoyable.
