Over the last few month I’ve tried to expand my horizons a little bit. Since 2009 I have worked in a few different technical roles, from helping to run data centres, and setup environments for ISV engagements at IBM, to running all systems for a rapidly growing Oracle partner, whilst on the side managing 100 websites including e-commerce sites. That led into my quick stint doing tech support in the Automotive sector before moving into customer facing roles in Jan 2016. Since then I’ve always been running on a few different threads, these have been, loosely:
Installs/Config for ERP systems including initial system design
Technical training of customers in those ERP systems
Technical management of escalated issues (across the world)
Cross-team liason for high profile or highly escalated customers
Coordination of international team of installations consultants
Development of internal tooling for installs/ technical consulting
Management of environments for wider team
From my recent posts it’s obvious which areas on that list have received the most focus over the last few months, notably the last two, which is where all the DevOps/Code posts are centred around. The reason so much focus has been on this, and I’ll add at this point a lot of it out of work hours, is because it’s something I enjoy, something I’ve been on the edge of before, and an area of technology that I personally believe we should all be at least aware of, and able to understand the basic principles of.
DevOps was a term coined many years before it became mainstream. Mike Loukides wrote a 20 page book called “What is DevOps” back in June 2012, which is published by the world renowned O’Reilly Media. That’s some time before I came across the term, although it seems I was already aware of some of the practices that now come under that umbrella. Back then I was managing E-Commerce sites, writing PHP websites against MySQL databases and moving a very static, cumbersome “tin-factory” infrastructure over to more dynamic, sustainable growth-capable platform. With a little more time and knowledge at that time I would’ve potentially moved in different directions. I am now starting to close that circle a little from the other side.
For me, career development is crucial, I am more than happy to stay with one company, or in one role, but I will always push to make more of myself, learn new things, get involved with everything possible and break down any and all barriers. I don’t do this to benefit myself, I see it as an opprtunity for me to be a benefit to those around me, both customers and colleagues.
Outside of DevOps activities over the recent months I’ve also been working on my presentation skills, with opportunities to present to colleagues and customers about various technical topics, including System Adminstration, upcoming product changes, best practices etc. This is in part due to being given more free reign with my current role, while we work out what my future roles may or may not include, and that’s if any change at all! In the background, the day to role keeps me busy, planning installs, speaking to new customers about how to deploy, speaking to existing customers about upgrades or enhancements to their systems, all the fun stuff that keeps money in the bank and roofs over heads!
The next few months may get a little busy, well hopefully they will, and all the good stuff will be posted when the chances arise.

I recently purchased the Sonos Ray Soundbar for my family’s Samsung TV. Frustratingly the soundbar won’t recognise the Samsung One remote to change the volume unless I’m standing right next to it (If I’m not within 30cm of the soundbar it won’t change the volume). I’ve followed the sonos guide on setting up the Samsung One remote, I’ve tried setting up the soundbar under a different brand as some other threads mentioned and I’ve changed the batteries on the remote and nothing has fixed this. Is there any solution to this frustrating problem?

I experience exactly the same problem with a Samsung One remote in Spain. Now back home in stockholm I received a new Ray today. Tried a new setup with a Samsung tv, this time the remote wouldn't work at all. Clearly Sonos ray got a problem with Samsung TVs

It says if you have tried the steps here in this Sonos support document and the ‘One Remote’ does not work, then to contact Samsung Support via the link provided. See here:

I’d agree, since the Ray is optical only, it won’t work with HDMI-CEC data transmission (optical is a one way connection) so the remote does need to be restricted per the support article to an IR only setup.

Om my Samsung the ir is sent not from the remote but from the Samsung Connect box. That’s how it controls my cable box that’s in the same cabinet. I’ve noticed on the Samsung of a friend of mine that his Samsung (without a Connect box) cannot comtrol his cable box, when the door to his cabinet is closed. In his case the ir I deduce the ir comes from the TV itself. It looks like when there’s no direct line of sight between TV and cable box, or in your case the Sonos Ray, changing the volume will not work.
When you’re close to the TV the ir could echo off your body. This could explain why it does work when you’re standing close to the TV. Maybe a well placed mirror would work better.
Please be advised this is all conjecture on my part, based on my personal experience. I would welcome comments from other users.

I was thinking about light pollution interfering with the IR, such as has been seen on some plasma sets, but agree, some testing would be necessary.

Photos must be in GIF or JPG format. All other formats are incompatible with this database. Images must be smaller than 250 Kb. This is best accomplished by reducing the image size to 72 dpi (most digital cameras default to 144 dpi). There is no restriction for the dimensions, but it is wise to keep images under 710 pixels wide to ensure proper display formatting.
THUMBNAILS
Uploading a thumbnail is optional. Create them using Adobe Photoshop or equivalent, to edit, crop, and reduce your main iris photo to 80 x 100 pixels. That's 80 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall. Thumbnails must be uploaded at the same time as the main photo otherwise a default one with the message 'not yet available' will be used in its place until the webmaster can create one.

Since the first EVRS realization in 1998, most of the national leveling data have been replaced at least once. New included national leveling networks extended the UELN far to the East.
Since the publishing of EVRF2007 in December 2008, more than half of the data have been changed (see figure 1). Furthermore the following countries provided their leveling data for the first time:
Russia - European part of the network (2012)
Belarus (2017)
Ukraine (2018)
North Macedonia (2019)
Figure 1: Status of the UELN data 2019 (click to enlarge)
Data of Great Britain
In former EVRS realizations systematic differences between the national ODN (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) heights and the EVRF2000 or EVRF2007 heights occur. ODN heights were computed by an adjustment of the 3rd leveling epoch (1951-1956), in which the results of the 2nd epoch (1912-1952) were held fix because of suspected systematic errors in the 3rd leveling epoch. But only the observations of the 3rd epoch are available in the UELN data base and have been used in the EVRF2000 and EVRF2007.
In order to avoid systematic errors in the EVRF2019 heights over Great Britain and to make them more consistent with the national heights of Great Britain, the measurement through the channel tunnel was used in the UELN adjustment to compute the datum shift between EVRF2019 and ODN. The EVRF2019 heights in Great Britain were determined subsequently by a transformation of the national heights applying this datum shift parameter.
In the mean tide system the difference between EVRF2019 and ODN is constant:
To determine the EVRF2019 heights of British points in the zero tide system, the correction is dependent by the latitude.
Data of France
Already since 1971, a tilt of 23 cm in North-South direction has been suspected in the French leveling network IGN69, deduced from comparison with tide gauge observations. In the meantime, a zero-order leveling network named NIREF is being developed, which is more accurate and not affected by such a systematic. But the network density of NIREF is too low to replace IGN69 completely.
In 2015, France delivered a new data set to the UELN data center, consisting of NIREF data, measured between 1983 and 2014, and some new measured lines of IGN69 in the northern part of France. The NIREF observations and the IGN69 network were combined in the UELN adjustment. In order to eliminate the influence of the tilt of IGN69, the observations of this network were supplied with very low weights: The original variances were multiplied with factor 100.

Realization of the Datum
EVRF2019 was computed based on the definitions and standards of EVRS, described in Ihde et al 2008). Accordingly, NAP is the datum of EVRF2019. For the realization of the height datum we have to specify:
the datum points
the heights or geopotential numbers of these datum points
the velocity of the datum points
In the EVRF2007, the datum was realized by 13 datum points with their heights in EVRF2000, converted to zero-tide. It was assumed that the velocities of these points were zero (no temporal height changes), although two of the points in Denmark were in the area of influence of the postglacial rebound (see figure 2).
For the EVRF2019 the following criteria, requirements and assumptions were adopted:
The datum should be realized using multiple datum points in order to avoid possible undetected height changes of an individual benchmark. The datum realization has to be unconstrained.
The datum points should be widely distributed across the European leveling network in order to avoid a systematic influence in a certain part of the network. This explicitly includes also these countries, which were not part of the EVRF2000.
There should be only one datum point per country.
The datum points have to be outside of areas known to be influenced by vertical land movements. This also includes regions like Scandinavia and the Alps, where models about the vertical velocities are available. This is to avoid the influence of possible uncertainties of these models on the datum realization of the EVRF2019.
The datum points should not be effected by known systematic errors in the leveling networks, especially in EVRF2007. The differences between the heights in EVRF2019 and EVRF2007 have to be reasonable small, that is, in the magnitude caused by the random error of the leveling network. This excludes datum points in Great Britain as well as the western part of the leveling network (France, Spain and Portugal, southern Italy).
Finally, after different computations and investigations a new set of 12 datum points shown in Figure 2 was used for height datum realization of the EVRF2019. The heights of the datum points were obtained from the EVRF2007 adjustment and it was assumed that these heights have not changed (velocity 0 mm/a). According to the condition equation in the adjustment the sum of the height changes of all datum points is zero. The maximum differences between the heights in EVRF2007 and EVRF2019 are in the range of ± 1.5 cm.
Figure 2: Distribution of the datum points (click to enlarge)

Epoch of the measurements
At the UELN data center, velocity models are available only for two areas in Europe: for the area of the Scandinavian land uplift and for Switzerland. The used models are NKG2016LU_lev (Vestøl et al 2016), published by the Nordic Geodetic Commission, and a set of velocities, provided by A. Schlatter and U. Marti from swisstopo.
There is not enough knowledge about vertical velocities in the other parts of Europe to reduce strictly all other leveling data to a common epoch too. In these areas the epoch of EVRF2019 is determined by the date of the observations. The epoch of measurements in the UELN range between 1923 and 2018. About half of the countries provided data, which have been observed after the year 2000. Most of the remaining data were observed in the 1990th. Hence, the mean epoch of the measurements is close to the year 2000, which was already the adopted epoch for the heights of EVRF2007.
For these reasons, it was decided to reduce measurements of EVRF2019 in Scandinavia and Switzerland also to epoch 2000 using the height velocity models mentioned above. Figure 3 marks the countries whose leveling data were reduced to epoch 2000, and shows some contours of NKG2016LU_lev.
To enable the user to compute an EVRF2019 height at a particular epoch, the velocities of the points are published together with the heights.
Figure 3: Land uplift model NKG2016LU_lev and countries with reduced data (click to enlarge)

Tidal corrections
According to its definition, EVRS is a zero-tide system (Ihde et al 2008). So, both EVRF2007 and EVRF2019 are computed in the zero-tide system. This is in agreement with IAG resolution No. 16 adopted in Hamburg 1983, which re zero-tide correction is the standard for gravity measurements. The GNSS community uses conventional tide-free systems. Most of the national height systems are in mean-tide, but we find also zero-t as differences from ellipsoidal and leveling heights.
In the field of oceanography, heights may be compared over large or even global distances. For such applications, heights in the mean-tide system are more appropriate, because they refer to the mean undisturbed sea level.
Also the future International Height System will be provided in the mean-tide system according to mean tide by
φ is the latitude in ETRS89.
The constant -0.08432 kgal ∙ m was first introduced in the calculation of EVRF2007 in order to achieve, that point 913600 (datum point of EVRF2000 in Amsterdam) gets the same height value both in the mean-tide and in the zero-tide system. By adding this correction, all points in the same latitude as Amsterdam have the same height in the mean- and zero-tide system.

Adjustment results
The heights in EVRF2019 differ from EVRF2007 between -439 mm and +148 mm (see figure 4). The largest differences are in the part of Western Europe, especially in Great Britain and France. In Great Britain, we have maximum differences of half a meter. In France we find differences between -135 mm in the North and +65 mm in the South. Main reasons are the including of the zero order network NIREF in France, which eliminates the tilt of the IGN69 network, and the modified computation of the heights for Great Britain. The largest positive height differences are in Italy, caused by the new Italian leveling data.
Table 1 shows the parameters of the adjustment. The standard deviation for 1 km leveling is in the magnitude of 1.1 mm as in EVRF2007.

The following table EVRF2019_points shows the adjusted heights of EVRF2019 (update August 2020) in the zero-tide as well as in the mean-tide system.
Should I use zero tide or mean tide heights?
IAG resolution No. 16 adopted in Hamburg 1983 recommends zero-tide for gravity field and mean-tide (=zero-tide) for 3D-positioning (Mäkinen, Ihde 2009). However, this resolution was never applied for all geodetic measurements and techniques. The zero-tide correction is the standard for gravity measurements. The GNSS community uses conventional tide-free systems. Most of the national height systems are in mean-tide, but we find also zero-tide and non-tide height systems in Europe.
For some applications it will be necessary to make physical heights comparable with other geodetic products. An example is the computation of geoid or quasi-geoid values as differences from ellipsoidal and leveling heights. In these cases you should use the heights in the zero-tide system.
In the field of oceanography, heights may be compared over largeects both tidal systems are applicable. But don’t mix heights of different tidal systems in the same application!

Germans gathered by the hundred at train stations on Sunday to welcome refugees arriving in their cities as if they were long-lost friends or returning war heroes.
An estimated 10,000 refugees were expected to arrive in Germany by train from Hungary and Austria on Sunday, and they were greeted with spontaneous rounds of applause and songs, as well as sweets, pastries, and toys, on station platforms across the country.
At Munich station, volunteers amassed a large stockpile of food. Helpers at the main train station in Frankfurt formed human chains to pass bags of food, clothing, and toiletries to the exhausted arrivals, whom they welcomed with banners and balloons.

Others clutched placards bearing the words ‘We love refugees’, while graffiti artists painted ‘a warm welcome’ in Arabic on the side of a train in Dresden.
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, last week announced that Germany would grant asylum to all Syrians in the country, a move credited with hastening the exodus from the east. The country expects to take up to 800,000 refugees this year.
The interior ministry on Sunday night warned other states must still abide by the rules on processing – and therefore looking after – asylum seekers. It warned that “the big willingness to help, which Germany has shown in the last weeks and months, should not be overstretched.”
Last week there were chaotic scenes in Budapest when Hungarian police attempted to stop migrants from taking trains over the border, citing European rules that state migrants must be processed where they arrive.
But on Sunday a convoy of around 140 Austrian and German drivers set off from Vienna, determined to bring people waiting in Budapest back in their family cars.
Ola Almasalmeh, 25, arrived in Munich station on Saturday night, which teemed with revellers dressed in the traditional Bavarian costume of Dirndl and Lederhosen. She had travelled for a month from Syria.

“I feel very safe here,” she told the Telegraph. “I don’t want to go to another country. I like Merkel, she has a big heart.”
Matteo Palenberg, aged 11, took a bowl of sweets he had collected over a year to hand out to children arriving at Munich station.
His father Markus, 45, said the treatment of refugees in Hungary was “shameful” and said that he liked that Germany was no longer being seen as the “bad people in Europe” following Mrs. Merkel’s hardball approach to the Greek financial crisis.
But he added that because of Germany’s hospitality, “the downside is that I’m afraid that it will create a huge second wave [of migrants]” who aren’t genuinely seeking asylum.
Those arriving in Bavaria are promptly allocated new homes in states across Germany. On Saturday night, some 350 were dispatched to Berlin, 700 to Braunschweig and 460 to Frankfurt.

On Sunday morning, police in Bavaria announced that many trains carrying refugees would no longer be stopping there, with several heading directly to places like Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Baden-Württemberg.
In Dortmund, the less accommodating face of German society was shown. On Saturday night, 29 supporters of the far-right party “Die Rechte” staged a protest rally at the central station in Dortmund when a train carrying almost 1,000 migrants arrived.
Three police officers were injured and four people were arrested in ensuing clashes.
In Rome, Pope Francis announced he will shelter two refugee families at the Vatican and said all parishes, convents, and monasteries across Europe should do the same.
He said: “Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees who are fleeing death by war and by hunger, and who are on a path toward a hope for life, the Gospel calls us to be neighbours to the smallest and most abandoned, to give them concrete hope.
But while scenes of kindness and generosity were being played out across much of Germany, the picture in Greece was less harmonious on Sunday.
Soldiers and police were dispatched to Lesbos, the holiday island that threatens to become the latest flashpoint in the migrant crisis, and now resembles an African transit camp where 20,000 migrants live in squalid conditions, with nowhere to sleep or wash.
The United Nations refugee agency called on Sunday for “exceptional measures” to speed up the registration of thousands of refugees stranded on the island.
Amid growing tension and two nights of clashes between police and refugees, two extra riot squads arrived on the island while 60 more regular ordinary police officers were also sent.
There were reports that a pair of locals on a motorbike threw two Molotov cocktails at refugees sleeping in a park in the island’s main town, Mytilene.
Some of the refugees have been stuck on the island for two weeks or more, waiting for the Greek authorities to issue them with travel permits that will allow them to board ferries to Athens.

Lesbos is the entry point for around half of the 230,000 who have arrived in Greece so far this year.
“The registration process is very slow, due to lack of resources in the Greek police and coast guard. We need to reduce the congestion. People are arriving every day and there are not enough ferries to take them to Athens, to the point where it’s a crisis. They are extremely frustrated,” Alessandra Morelli, the UNHCR representative on the island, told The Telegraph.
Spyros Galinos, the mayor of Lesbos, also called for more ferries to alleviate the acute crisis on the island. He has described the situation as a bomb about to explode in his hands.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, faced criticism after saying Israel could not cope with refugees. “Israel is a small country, a very small country, that lacks demographic and geographic depth; therefore, we must control our borders against illegal migrants and terrorism,” he said.

Isaac Herzog, the opposition leader, urged him to let some Syrians in. “Have you forgotten what it’s like to be Jews, refugees, hunted?” he wrote on Facebook.
Iran, meanwhile, praised the EU’s willingness to take refugees. The Islamic Republic is a major sponsor of Bashar al-Assad, whose forces are behind much of the violence that has forced four million Syrians from their country.

"I have two dogs with differing arthritic diagnosis. One is a 65 lb lab and the other is a 110 lb Rottie/Mastiff mix. How many CBD treats should they get a day?"
It depends on the amount of CBD in your treats. The general dosing recommendation for any pet is between 0.25 mg (a regular dose) to 0.5 mg (a strong dose) of CBD for every 1 pound of bodyweight.

"You will be assassinated by ninjas," Eli 12.4 said, reading the results of his cootie catcher as we all sat together in a restaurant in Shreveport.
Ten minutes later, I passed him a note scrawled on a napkin in crayon:
That assassination, did you mean now? Because I would totally take that.
That describes the trip as well as anything.
We had moments, like we always do. We played tennis for two hours each day at a lovely tennis center with the nicest people imaginable. That tennis center is our oasis, the only time each day when no one expects anything from either one of us.
The rest of the time, the overwhelming sensation in Shreveport is of letting people down.
I've taken 28 trips to Shreveport, and now I'm almost the same age as Gloria's mother the first time I met her. I see the numbers, but it's hard to understand.
These trips have always been hard, but when Eli was very young, he temporarily stemmed the tide.It was enough that his grandmother paid constant attention to him. They engaged. They were both happy to be with each other.
It's awkward now, though. His grandmother has led a very sheltered, isolated life. A small life, and I don't mean that in a judgmental way, just a factual one. What she talks about only rarely extends beyond her front yard, and never beyond the city she lives in.
Eli is the exact opposite. Even though he's only twelve, his life is big. He can talk about almost anything, and what he's done and what he hopes to do are always big. I love that about him.
When a person with a small life tries to talk to a person with a big life, there's not much to say in either direction. His grandmother desperately wants to feel connected to him, but he can't feel connected unless he's able to engage first, and there is no common ground for engagement.
It's hard.
Gloria's family is in an unhappy situation, and has been for a long time. We're a little burst of sunshine that can make it better, but somehow it always goes in the opposite direction: instead of making them feel better, we feel worse.
For a long time, I believed I could make it better. I encouraged. I took positive action. I thought I was the magic ingredient, because who doesn't want to be the magic ingredient?
Like everything else beyond the confines of the house, though, I was irrelevant.
I'm a positive person, but for those four days a year, there's nothing positive to be found. I plod through the days, the story already written, just a character in a book with an unhappy ending.

But breastfeeding should not hurt. And the skin on your nipple should not break down any more than the skin anywhere on your body should break down. Mild soreness or sensitivity is fairly common for the first 1or 2 weeks of breastfeeding. Then it should go away.
What are some possible causes of sore nipples?
If latching is painful or your nipples or areolas feel bruised, it's likely related to an incorrect latch-on process or ineffective sucking. It may be a problem with your baby's latch or sucking if your nipples become very red, raw, blistered, or cracked. A latch or sucking problem or a structural issue in the baby's mouth might result in nipples that look creased or turn white at the end of feedings.
When nipples get red, burn, or feel very sore after weeks or months of pain-free breastfeeding, it may be due to an allergic reaction or type of infection. A type of yeast infection called thrush may appear as white patches in the baby's mouth. Or it may show up as a bright red diaper rash. If your baby has thrush, it can be transferred to your nipples. Certain medicines are needed to treat yeast and other infections or allergic reactions. Contact both your healthcare provider and your baby's healthcare provider for more information and treatment.
What should I do to treat my sore nipples?
Recommendations include:
Keep your nipples hydrated by using coconut oil, petroleum jelly, lanolin, or your own breastmilk.
Wear a loose-fitting bra and clothes.
Change nursing pads often to keep them clean and dry.
Use only a mild soap and water to clean your breasts and nipples.
Change positions each time you nurse.
Certain creams or dressings may promote healing. Others can actually cause more damage. These should be used carefully under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Also, don't use any harsh soaps or chemicals that might result in drying the nipples. This may lead to cracking of the skin. It's also important to prevent excessive moisture by not using plastic-backed nursing pads.
Finding the cause of sore nipples can be hard. Talk with your healthcare provider or a lactation consultant for an evaluation and suggestions on how to resolve the problem.

She goes back seventeen years with Ernest, first eating his concoctions at Pumi and then Wasabi Cafe.
So imagine her surprise when we ducked in here late last week and she saw him carefully composing our spicy Island roll. It led to lots of hugs and joking all around — all of which distracted ELV from his food — but also gave him hope this place might be a small game-changer downtown.
Think about it: a nice light lunch of sushi or sashimi gives everyone an interesting, healthy dining option in a area previously confined to sandwiches and Mexican food. It’s easy to get to, clean, new, bright and friendly — five characteristics usually not found in the same sentence with anything “downtown.”
And the fish looked good.
And our sushi roll was as fresh and spicy as any we’ve ever had in a neighborhood sushi joint.
And you can even get Hawaiian food here. Lot’s of it. Like a crispy, Tonkatsu curry bowl, noodle bowls, and doughy, warm, yeasty-fresh malasada doughnuts. There’s even a deli counter where take out food like dry aku and tuna poke kimchee are available for those who want to get their Hawaiian on. ELV’s perplexity* over all edible island things is well documented, but if fake crab and macaroni salad are your thing, go loco moco.
As for us, we’ll be dropping by soon to test the waters of Ernest’s fish chops…to make sure he hasn’t lost his fastball.**
Our lunch for two came to $35.

Thanks to David Akin of the SUN’s parliamentary bureau, we now have the list of those on Stephen Harper’s Israel junket. We’re paying for their trip. The cost would probably be enough to have kept one or two of these—the DFO library closures, for example, saved less than half a million dollars—but Harper’s priorities…well, you know.
There are 208 of ‘em along for the ride, and that doesn’t include 15 members of the Conservative caucus, security and assorted bureaucrats.
Here are some of those weird and wonderful folks that we’re digging into out pockets for.
David Hearn, the President of Harper’s church, the Christian and Missionary Alliance—and his wife. Stockwell Day and his wife. Ezra Levant’s dad, Dr. Marvin Levant. An activist rabbi, Daniel Korobkin, who loves the well-known Islamophobic hatemonger Pamela Geller. A member of the Canadian chapter of the extremist Jewish Defence League, Julius Suraski. He welcomed the then-leader of the English Defence League, a far-right organization linked to neo-Nazis, to a JDL meeting in Toronto. (Here he is, in his own words.)
No doubt these and other members of Harper’s band will be lifting a glass or two of Golan to those back home who footed the bill.
As for the importance of the trip by any objective measure, John Ivison sums up:
It’s fair to say that Mr. Harper’s arrival was less momentous news for the average Israeli. There were no local journalists at Ben Gurion airport to greet the prime minister.
When we arrived at Mr. Netanyahu’s office compound for the official welcome ceremony, the more visible flags were those of Romania, whose president is also in town on an official visit.
Shut down a library here, a research centre there, in the name of austerity. Then send a crowd of millionaires, Christian fundamentalists, rabbis and Islamophobes to Israel on our dime. How very—Conservative.
UPDATE: Big City Lib was right out of the starting-gate on this. And here’s another taxpayer-funded worthy: Shawn Ketcheson, a homophobic pastor [via @trapdinawrpool]. Why are the mainstream media doing none of this digging?
UPPERDATE: And…a homophobic Ottawa rabbi, Reuven Bulka, who thinks that gays can be “cured.” (via Andy Lehrer)

I’m sharing another recipe with you today, as part of my not-too-sweet treats series. (You can find the full list of recipes here. The recipe series began as a response to my post, Why I’m Glad Natural Sweeteners are Expensive.)
This recipe is adapted from Katie Kimball’s Protein Bars, from the e-book Healthy Snacks to Go. I’ve made them a bunch of times, and everyone in the family loves them.
Katie says you can substitute any nut for the pecans, but I suspect the pecans contribute quite a bit of their natural sweetness to this tasty snack, which is why they need so little additional sweetener. Her recipe also includes 1/4 cup optional chocolate chips, but I don’t find them necessary. Your family might, if you’re used to sweeter treats.
Another bonus with this recipe is that it contains molasses, which is high in vitamin B6 (something my body tends to need), iron, potassium, and calcium. All important nutrients. It doesn’t taste very strong, though — the peanut butter seems to mask the flavour. You might want to start out with only two tablespoons and work your way up if you’re not fond of molasses. Personally, I find that after one taste of these bars, I start to crave more of the molasses flavour. Perhaps my body recognizes and appreciates the Vitamin B boost?
Pecan Peanut-Butter Protein Bars
Ingredients:
2 cup pecans
½ cup walnuts
2 tsp cocoa powder
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup natural creamy peanut butter
2-3 Tbsp blackstrap molasses (unsulphured)
2 Tbsp raw honey
¼ tsp vanilla
Drizzle of maple syrup or honey, as needed
Preheat oven to 250.
Process nuts in a food processor until they become a coarse meal.
(This is my Ninja food processor)
Pour nuts into a large bowl and mix in the remaining dry ingredients, followed by the peanut butter, molasses, honey, and vanilla.
Stir well, until it all sticks together. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if it’s too dry.
Grease a glass 8-inch square pan. Pour in nut mixture and press flat (It may help to moisten your hands first, if it’s really sticky). Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
Allow to cool, and then cut into bars with a sharp knife.
Voila! Store in the refrigerator for best quality.

These look so good! How do you like your Ninja? I don’t have a food processor and my blender is pretty weak, so I’m looking for one. It seems like everyone has a BlendTec or Vitamix, but spending so much money on a blender makes me uncomfortable, haha. I’ve heard decent things about the Ninja, but wonder how it holds up?

I really, really love my Ninja: it does a wonderful job (I have the food processor system, a.k.a. “Master Prep Pro System,” not the blender. Though it looks kind of like a blender.) My only hesitation is that it doesn’t seem to be very well-made in terms of longevity. It feels like it would easily break (and, in fact, I once broke my mom’s without even doing anything out of the ordinary. A little piece just snapped inside, I think because I didn’t have the lid on perfectly straight. Fortunately, the company replaced it for free, but still: I worry that it won’t last that long.) So it works amazing for now; I just don’t know if I can count on it for the long term. It’s definitely a lot more affordable than a Vitamix.

THE AMERICAN SILVER BILL.

THE AMERICAN SILVER BILL. The Bepudiationiats of the United States, sayr the Globe, have carried their bill through the Senate, and there is scarcely, any doubt that it- will become law. The President, it is true, has a right of veto under the Constitution, and the bill has still to run the gauntlet of the House of Representatives. But the Presidential veto can be overidden by a two thirds vote of Con- gress, and the number of Senators who supported the Bland Bill in the vote early on Saturday raeraing-the Senate having sat all through the previous night discus- sing the amendmentø-exceed. that proportion. Pro- bably, then, Mr. Hayes will not put the Senate to the trouble of voting over again; but will keep the bill back for ten days, whereupon it will become law without his signature, and he will have no responsi- bility in the matter. The measure was expected to be brought before the House to-day, but there is no chance of any effective opposition to it there, aa it is notorious that the Silver Party are more powerful in numbers in the House than in the Senate. Amendments, will, doubtless, be proposed. and the Resump tiomsia may protract the fight, and even give some trouble to their opponents. But the issue is certain. The remit ia—aa the Timd well- informed Philadelphia correspondent puts it-that "a silver dollar of 4121 paine will be made un- limited legal tender for all debts, public or private." Now, as the silver in a dollar of 412j grains is only worth 901 cents, it is plain that the creditors of the United States, both public and private, are to be compelled to submit to a deduction of nearly 10 per cent, from all the debts owing them. The United States Funded Loans were raised on the express understanding-and in the original prospectuses put forth here with the express mention-tbat both prin- cipal and interest were to be paid in gold coin," but they will now be redeemable in the depreciated currency. The United States will have broken faith with the public creditor for the sake of grasping the profit accruing from substituting silver for gold in payment of debts which they are bound by every con- sideration of honour and morality to pay in the more precious metal.
A COURT TORCH-LIGHT DANCE.

A COURT TORCH-LIGHT DANCE. The following torch-light processional dance, as described by the Timet correspondent, formed a part of the late Royal marriage festivities at Berlin: Now ensued the famous ceremony peculiar to this Court known as the laekdtanu, or torchlight procession. A more formal, un-terpsichorean dance cannot well be imagined. Their German and Belgian Majesties, together with the newly-married couples being aeated on the dais in front of the Throne, the other Royal Dersenages ranged themselves on both sides, the ladies on the right and the gentlemen on the left. This preliminary duly settled, the Prus- sian Cjabinet Ministers, headed by Prince Salm, the Grand Master of the Court, approached the Bmperor.

gate, of the United States Signal Service. Captain Howgate's proposal is to establish a colony of hardy, ■t resolute, and intelligent men at some favourable point on or near the borders of the Polar Sea, providing it with all modern appliances for overcoming the phy- sical obstacles in the pathway to the Pole, and for resisting the effects of hunger, cold, and sickness, and to deprive it of the means of retreat except at stated periods of time. The object of the colony would, be to watch the condition of the ice and the weather, in order to take ad van age of whatever favourable op- portunities flight be presented to push parties on by fcoat wratedge or both, the quest being continued till the Pole be foand. Svery possible comfort would be provided, and the colony would be visited at stated intervals by ships tent out from the States. Lady Franklin Bay, well known in connection with our own recent expedition, is the locality selected by Captain Howeate. though ultimately some other station may be chosen. At the meeting of. the New York Geo- graphical Society on January 31, Captain Howgate's -was discussed in the presence of Lord Duffisrin, who, with many flattering compliments, was electei « honorary member of the society. Lord DuBerin acknowledged the honour in his well-known happy style; he spoke of himself as a potentate whose sceptre touches the Pole, and who rules over a larger area of snow than any monarch." ( DBATHS tbou Bunua,—Dr. Hardwioko held two inquiries at the Hetbern Coroner's Court as tothe deaths of two persons who have died from barns. The first case was that of Elizabeth Curtis, of CS, of 7, Bald win's-pi ace, Hoiborn. She was very feeble and- near-tighted, and on Monday afternoon was left by a friend sitting by the fire-side reading, but about an hour afterwards smoke was seen issuing from nnder the doorway. A woman lodging in the house went into the room, and found Curtis lying on the floor with her clothing burning. The woman at once out the lire out, and Dr. James Miller was called in, but life was extinct.—The second cam was that of Isabella Lee, 48, of 20. Greville street, Holborn. The son, Jam- Lee, said that on the 17th ult. he went to work, and left his mother, who was the worse for drink, sitting by the fire-side. Shortly afterwards he was called home by being told that the house was on are. On going into the room he found it full of smoke, while his mother was lying on the floor near the fire-place with her dothiog alight. He put the fire out, but his mother was very much burnt all over the body. A week afterwards do was taken to the Hoiborn Work- house Infirmary, when she gradually sank, and died on Sunday last. The jury in each cue returned a verdict of Aesidental death." MXJBJDBBXNG A MOTHEB-IN-LAW.—Anthony Metcalfe was arrested by the Liverpool police on a charge of killing his mother-in-law. The prisoner and his wife lived in a ceurt in Fontenoy street, and the wife's mother (Ann Dalton, a fruit seller) lived in a cellar in the same court. On Wednesday night the Metcalfes returned home under the influence of drink and quarrelled. Mra. Metcalfe used irritating lan- guage, and htr husband knocked her down and kicked her while she was prostrate. Her screams attracted her mother, who remonstrated with the prisoner. Then he turned on her, chased her- into her own cellar, whence she afterwards emerged in a state of great exhaustion from loss of blood. She died in a short time. Meanwhile Metcalfe had been seen to leave the place hurriedly, and to go to a publio- house in the neighbourhood. Afterwards he went to his brother's house, about half a mile distant, and it was there the police arrested him. His boots and I clothes were bloodstained.

The most ttteJ valent opinion seemato be that itwo&ld be higfllf. dangerous and impolitic to withdraw from India èmr temporarily any part of the English troops, but this argument does not apply to c.ative troops, seeing that one of the piincipal uses of English forces in India is to act as a military check upon the native army. The sending of a part of the latter from India would serve, therefore, as a safeguard rather than as a source of danger tq British power. The native troops are well equipped, well drilled, and handle the rifle with considerable skill. There ia at present, however, a most fatal defect in the organisation of native regi- ments, which would have to be remedied before they could be employed agajnst European troops-namely. the serious deficiency of English regimental officers. The full complement of English officers in all ordinary regiments L. seven, and of these on an average not more than four would be available at the commence- ment of any sudden campaign. A regiment might, accordingly, find itself after a abort period of active service without a single English officer. It is a military canon that no regiment ought to go into action without less than two officers per company, and it will ba readily understood that native regi- ments would require a larger than a smaller propor- tion of English officers if required to fight with European troops. Should this deficiency, however, be supplied, there is no reason why native soldiers should not prove a very valuable auxiliary to an English army engaged in a European war. India, as a recruiting ground for such forces, is almost inex- haustible, and for the purpose of a campaign against Russia the limit to Mussulman levies would be solely dependent upon nnancialcontideratiecs.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Further omcial correspondence has been published respecting the affairs of Turkey. On the 8th of last June Count Schouvaloff had a confidential conversa- tion with Loed Derby, -in which he explained on what terms Russia would then make peace. Among the principal stipulations ware: Bulgaria north of the Balkans to be made an autonomous vassal province, under thegunranteeef Europe; Buigannsonthof the Balkans and the other Christian provinces of Turkey to have a regular administration guaranteed to them by the Powers; the portion of Bessarabia ceded to Boumania in 1860 to be restored; Batoum and the adjacent territory to be eeded to Rassia. If Turkey accepted these termsi Russia would not cross the Balkans, or parsue the war any further. If she rejected them, the war would continue until she was obliged to agitoe to a peace* In that case the Russian terms aright be altered. These conditions Lord Derby did not think it advisable to submit to the Porte. Mr. Layard, in a despatch dated June 13, thought that it would "be even dangerous te suggest them to the Sultan or to his Ministers." If the former were to consent to them it would most probably cosi him hie throne, if not his life. Some weeks later, how- ever; Mr. Layard was instructed to sound the Sultan on the subject of peace. This was oil the 28th of last July. 011 the 2nd of August Mr. Layard replied that he had secretly ascertained the Sultan's views. His Majesty could not listen to "any conditions of peace." His Ministers and othei- in finential persons were so much encouraged by the Turkish sttecessee at Plevna, and Eski Zegra, and by the prospect of favourable results in Asia, that they felt confident the Russians would ultimately be re- pulsed and driven out of Bulgaria and Roumelfa, as they had been out of Armenia.

A FIGHT AT ODESSA. Advices which we have received from Russia give the following particulars ef the fight that took place a £ Odessa on the 12th instant between a band. of Socialists and the police. For some time past the police although having in their custody more than 4Q0 individuals. charged with conspiring against the. Government, have suspected the existence of other secret societies, and on the evening of the l|2th instant resolved to search the lodgings in, a building known as Petrovsky House, in Sadovoifstreet. On enquiring at the door of one set of apartments, which was full of company, t^e. gpndarme officer was refused admittance, He Whiattqd for seme gendarmes to come, upon which the pepplefired several revolver shots at the officer, who Seated,.and, then blockaded the door. Reinforce- ments of police were brousht, and the conspirators, who were armed with swords, rifles, and revolvers, driven into one apartment, in which they secured themselves so effectually and maintained such a steady fire upon the besiegers that the latter could not force the place. The building was thereupon surrounded by a cordon of police and a detachment of gendarmes armed with rifles, brought to the front of the house, whence successive volleys were fired into the window of the room occupied by the conspirators. Still the Socialists held their own and. maintained a steady fire at the police forces ba the end a detachment of troops was brought from the garrison, and these attacking the place in down- right earnest, smashed in the doors and secured the aolllpiiaton. During the fight ten persons were wounded—the gendarme officer, four gendarmes, two policemen, the concierge, and two of the revohttionists. The conspirators only mustered seven strongs—fire J men and two women—and against them were over fifty gendarmes and policemen, and double that num- < ber of Mfantry soldiers.

Mining and wweltiny dustnes employ 14.800, and the tobacco nnd eigar- making trades about as many. Of the former there are o0 per cent in Prussia, 9 per cent. in Saxony, and 11 per cent. in the other States collectively; and of the latter Prussia employs 43 per cent; Baden, 24; Saxeny, 15; Hesse, 6; the other States about 12, As the number of people employed in factory pursuits makes altogether 880.000 — vix., 666,600 men, 326,000 women, and 88,000 children, the latter contribute about a tenth part of the whole industrial community, The wages of the children between 12 and TO Vary according to the locality and industry from one to nine marks; and of those of the second class, from 14 to 16, from one ud a half marks to 13 £ the average being about three marks for the first and five for too second dnss.

But the northern still had nearly 105,000 of the 152,000 convictions.

n ITHE LAW AFFECTING INSANE CR1- 9' MJLNAJLS > /John Hickey, a middle-aged man, of strange Jtiianfors, hirt mud|t intelligence, as appeared in the ionpjpble :wagr in which he defended^ himself, was indicted at the Middlesex Sessions, on theeharge of ^having assaulted Caroline Hickey, hjh wife The case w^s» a serious one, and narrowly eaomed being one of murder. The prisoner is a waiter at,the Freemasons' Tavern, and one night a short tin^eago, having re- turned. from his work, he and hia, wife quarrelled, as they usually had for a long tim^ paet^ owing to the excessive jealousy of the prisoner, and he took up a heavy poker and delivered with it three terrible blows on the head, upon the wounds caused by which erysi- pelas supervened, and for a time the woman's life was in the utmost jeopardy. The prisoner in a long speech in defence, described his wife as being a person so utterly depraved as to be altogether indescribable, and said her only object had been so to goad him to des- peration that he might do something whereby she might be able to get rid of him and the better pursue her vicious courses. Mr. Serjeant Cox, in addressing the jury, observed at some length upon the unsatisfac- tory and anomalous condition of the criminal law relating to insane or partially insane persons charged with the commission of crime. He regretted very much that there was not some intermediate pewer Vested in the courts, whereby they might be enabled to sentence a person whose sanity was of a doubtful character to a period of imprisonment, which would simply mean medical treatment. such as unhappy persons were subjected to—and every- body now-a-daya, happily, knew to what a degree of scientific humanity that had been brought to in luna- tic asylums, private and public. No more difficult cases could claim the attention of a judge than those which were akin to the one new before the Court, for in the present instance, Dr. Smiles, the very expe- rienced prison surgeon, had no doubt whatever that, without being actually insane, so that he must be ac- quitted, and then, probably, be confined for life in an asylum, the man was in a state of disease. The gap between a sentence of imprisonment with hard labour and an order for confinement during her Majesty's pleasure was far too wide, and very mischievously 80, and he hoped that something would be done in the aew Criminal Bill whereby that inconsistency would be obviated, so that a man whose sanity was doubt- ful could be sentenced te a term of imprisonment, fpr medical treatment, until he eould either get into a good state of health again and be safely released, or jbp declared altogether insane and dealt with accord- ingly. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but added their opinion that, when the assault was committed, the man was scarcely responsible for his actions. Mr. Serjeant Cox said he would pauon the prisoner a tpntence of twelve mOQth. hard labour, but only as a matter ef form. The man would have no hard labour, but would have the very beat treatment in the prisen infirmary; and, after the expression of the jury's opinion, if he should get better before the end of the term, he (the learned judge) would memorialise the Home Secretary to obtain a release. The Prisoner (fiercely): My lord, I am the victim of the merciless persecution of an utterly abandoned woman.' He was then removed from the dock.. 1111 111 *1

PAIR-OAMED RACK PO. £ 60.—A boat race for the above amount took place from Putney to Mort- lake, between O. and L. Gibson, of Putney, and H. Messum, and J. Chitty, of Richmond, lads who, al- though comparatively young, hftye acquitted them selves very creditably in the races in whu^i they have taken part. It was nearly high water when they got off, and hence the Richmond lads, who won the toss for choice of station, took the centre, the betting being 2 to 1 and 5 to 2 on them. Mr. Tjightfoot, of the Sporttnum, was the reieree. The favourite* had decidedly the best of the start, in fact, placing a length to their credit before they had covered 200 yards; but jut below Simmonds's Boat- house they were level, and then, before they had got to the top of the concrete wall, the Richmond men had got away again, but losing the service of their cutter had to look after their own steerage, and conse- quently ran into a barge below the Soap Works, and before they could get clear the othera were by. Off the centre of the Soap Works, however, they were level, and then the Richmond menwtllt away again, and passed under Hammersmith-bridge dear. After this they had no difficulty in going ahead as they liked, and won by four lengths. THE PANTOMIME having been withdrawn at the Royal Aquarium, Westminster, the afternoon í performances have been resumed in the theatre, with Mr. Phelpe appearing as Riehelfeu. The old Canlinal of Lord Lytton was never more efficiently or correctly presented, for Mr. Phelps is now the ouly surviving actor who can pourtray the traditions associated with the part in the mind of the author and its first repre- sentative, Mr. W. 0. Macready. The present per- formance brings to the memory the acting of the late Mr. Macready, in whoee hands the Cardinal was made to appear a political statesman and priest The wit, the sarcasm, the duplicity, and the intellectual power of the Cardinal are all presented by Mr. Phelps with an accuracy that leaves nothing to bedeaired. On alternate daya Mr. Phelps haa been personating the other great Cardinal of history, the only great English Cardinal—Wolsey—a part in which Mr. Macready used to delight, and in which he made the proud priest to appear more vividly than the atateaman. Miss ManeLittoa is a very excellent Julie de Morte- mar, and with Mr. Phelps, divided honours. AT A HSCBNT MEETING of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution rewards, amounting to .£260, were granted to the crews of different lifeboats of the institution for services performed during the put month, in which period the boats had beeninatrm- mental in aaving nfty-mne lives from shipwrecks on our coast The Kingstown lifeboat gallantly saved the crew of twelve men from the Austanan brig Olinka, whieh x was wrecked on the Xiah Bank during a strong wind and heavy aaa, accompanied by aleet and snow shewers on the 25th alL The Crown Prince of Austria, who was in Dublin at the time this service was rendered, presented .£80 to the lifeboat men as a mark of hi8 appreciation of their praiseworthy services on thia occasion. The thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum, were voted to Mr. James McOandlish, of Greeneastle, Ireland, in acknowledgment of his highly laudable conduct in putting off with some fishermen in a shore boat, and saving six of the crew of the Norwegian brig Hilding, which was wrecked near that place in a gale of wind and a heavy sea on the 26th ult The thanks on vellum were also granted to Mr. Fletcher, master of the steam tug Hotspur, and .£5te his crew, for their services on the occasion of that wreck. Payments to .£1974 were likewise made on different lifeboat establishments. AN UNPRECEDENTED THEATKICAL RUN.—AS moat people who take an interest in, playa has seen "Our Bon," or, at any rate, have had plenty of opportunity of seeing it, and as in its essentials the east remains very much as it was at first, it is sufficient to sav that a very numerous and enthusiastic audience assembled in the Yaudeville Theatre for the 1000th representation, laughed uproariously, and applauded to the echo. After the third act, Messrs. James and Thorne opened a rhymed address, in whieh they were subsequently joined by Mr. H. J. Byron. It alluded to the success of the comedy, and announced the intention to keep it to the fore so long as the public should and it attractira. There was a suggestion, too, that Mr. Byron was to snpply the next piece. The address was received in the same spirit as the vert of the entertainment which Mr. Farren announced had secured something over £ 900. This sum. he said, would be apportioned among the Royw General Theatrical Fuid, the Metro^litan Free %"Pital. tha Oharing-cross Hospital, «he G*»t Northeni Hospital, and other charitieS. The Lord Mayor and Sheriff., with the City Marahal and suite, lent their patronage, which naturally added to thepecuniM-r success ef the performance. 'i MU&DKB AT Htrax.—A mnrder has been per- petrated at Hull by a joiner named Vincent Knowles Walker. This man was under bca&to keep the peace towards his wife, who had been csfcpelled to leave him and take refuge with a Mr- ana Mrs. White, in Nile-street A little after four in the afternoon Walker went to White's houae to see his wife, but die, fearing his violence, made her way out of the house by the back door. Walker thereuponatabbed Mrs. White on the face and also about the body, and in a few minutes ahedtaet. Before her death Walker was arrested, and while in cuatody he tried to kick her. At the police-station Walker expressed regret that he had not met his wife, and said that, had she come near him, he would have served her in the same way. POSITION ia something, but not everything.

She arrived off Bi<v before the 29th of October, and has not been heardftfcsince. It is thought probable that she has been ice-bound and crushed, and that the crew, like other crews in former times, may be heard of on the island of Sic. The Waterloo was formerly owned by Mr.Harward, of London. In 1875 she went ashore near New Orleans, and was subse- quently got off and taken into port, where she was condemned and Sold. She afterwards underwent extensive repairs, and was sent to sea again. She is now the property of Mir. J. H. Allen, of London. She was built at Quebee in 1865,and was originally classed at Lloyd's, but that class expired five years ago. She was a wooden ship of 1155 tons register, tad worth, with her cargo, about .£18,000.

DEAN STANLEY ON THE POPES OF ROME. This Dean ef Westminster addressed a crowded congregation at the Union Chapel, Oomp ton-terrace, Mington, on The Popes of Rome." He was, how- ever, so indisposed daring the evening that he had to pause in the delivery of his lecture, and the con- cluding portion of it was read by the Rev. Dr. Allon. 'The dean said he did not desire to speak ef either the late or the future Pope, because the former had so recently passed away, and 88 to the latter there was still great uncertainty. Treating the Pope as an hia*»rical office, he said there were points connected therewith- which were of interest to every Christian Roman Catholicor Protestant, Churchman or Nonconformist. The Pope could be considered, first, as the representative of many customs of Christian antiquity.; secondly, as the representative of the ancient Roman Empire; thirdly, as an Italian prince and bishop; fourthly, as the Pope, or chief oracle of the Roman Church; and fifthly, as the head of the ecclesiastical profession of Western Europe. The Pope had had the character of an Italian prinee and bishop for many centuries, and was such a prince and bishop 88 the Bishop of Durham or the Mitred Abbot of West- minster had been. But whereas theseand similar prince- bishops had disappeared, the Pope remained. Since 1870 he had lost the dominion over a large portion of his territory. He was, still, however, the Sovereign Prince over the Vatican, ench as was the Prince of Monaeo, and had his guards and ambassadors. Refer- ring to the election of the Pope, the Dean said that in the earty days that election was in the hands of the populace, and in the fourth century it was con- ducted with such violence as to cause blood- shed. Si ace the twelfth century it had been conducted by the College of Cardinals. The title of Pope originally was not confined ex- clusively to the Bishop of Rome, but belonged to all the teachers. It was afterwards applied, to all bishops, and in the seventh century it dropped from the other Western bishops, remaining only with the Bishop of Rome. The claim of the Pope to infalli- bility was conceded by a large part of Christendom. He, however, became Pope simply by the election of the College of Cardinals, and he really need not be a clergyman to be elected by them. In fact, on two occasions laymen had been elected Popes, and those who imagined that the Pope inherited his office by virtue of episcopal succession laboured under a great mistake.

OUTRAGE BY FOREIGN SEAMEN.—I-At the Thames Police-court, twelve Chinamen, named Arys, » u' Achon, Arhena, Artie, JhoBoak,Fosig, Arsou, Anhion, Aillu, and Chie, were brought before Mr. De Kutzen, charged with disorderly conduct and assault- ing Francisco Tamar, a boarding-house keeper for seamen, of 221, St. George's-in-the-Rafct It Appeared that some time ago the injured man was charged at this court, with Itealing.£26 from a Chinese seaman, who was bearding at his house at the time, and was com- mitted for trial, but acquitted at the sessions. It is conjectured that when the Obinaman got back to Singapore, he communicated With his fridnds, the prisoners, the fact of his losing his mon6y, and the r&>uH of the trial.

Mr. Moore, of the Asso- ciate Institute for the Protection or Women attended. being called on, Robert Marsh, 181 B, ItaWthat the injured woman was not in attendance. Mr. Newton said he would hear what evidence there was. Marsh said he was called by the wife of the prisoner, who said the prisoner had broken her arm by striking her with a lamp briish. She gave the prisoner into custody, and the only reply the prisoner made to the charge was that he had not hit his wife hard enough to do such a thing. The wife, who had previously been to the hospital and had her arm in splints, went to the station and charged the prisoner. Mr. Newton remanded the prisoner, and ordered a summons to be taken out to compel the attendance of the wife. Now THAT THE BROWN BOARD MODKI, of Cleo- patra's Needle is up, a good many people are not at all pleased with the site, just as a good many were not pleased with the Stephen's-green one, or, for the matter of that, would be with any site on the earth, or on the shores of the waters on the surface of the earth. The painter who exhibited his work in public and asked his discerning countrymen to explain their opinion on it is always a sad example of the uselessness of this kind of amateur con- noisenrship. And so it will be with the Egyptian pillar, if the Government goes on build- ing models and pulling them down to the end of the year. Nevertheless, it must strike anyone who has ever seen the venerable-looking, won, and rather corroded "Needle" itself, that it will contrast some- what tastelessly with the spick and span freshly-cut grfrJ granite of the Embankment.

Mr. 1. G-Talbot, M.P., stated that ha sent to his bailiff the two cheques enclosed in a letter, and, as they were not delivered in doe course, information was given to the police and complaint made to the postal authorities.

MELANCHOLY DBATH OP A TUTOR.—An iti- quest was held at the Peacock Tavern, Westminster- bridge-road, to inquire into the death of Mr. William a Roman Catholic tutor, who was found dead u* his bed. The deceased was a very great reader, and studied much at St. George s Cathedral, South- wark. Latterly he had become very despendent, and refused food, being fed with oranges, tc., until his death. The deceased was paying attentions to a young lady, and it is supposed that he had been re- jected, and sank from grief. A verdict of death from exhalation and weakness was returned.

A ROMANCE m JteEAh LIFE. The Paris con-eapondentof the Globe gives the fol- lowing account of an extraordinary case .which has come before the Paris law courts: Victor Maunier, who died in Aogust, 1874, at NeUilly, at the age of 55, was the hero of cue of those romances in real life which are barely credited in this prosaic and material age. The preux chevalier whose sword was ever drawn and lance carried in defence of beauty, and the Crusader who risked his life for the deliver ance of Jerusalem, have been handed down to us as a tradition of the past; but we still have men who wander forth seeking adventure and trying to gather together millions. Maunier left his native village with nothing but the clothes he had on hit back, and apprenticed himself to a jeweller at Marseille, where he made thp acquaintance of an Italian family of dentists. He married the sister of his friend, Teresa Oddo, and settled down at Messina, where- he established himself, with the assistance of some of his acquaintances, as a jeweller. Ten years of married life were too much for the gay young jeweller, whose love of amusement and dislike of trade had brought him to the brink of ruin. He abandoned his wife and children to their fate, and made his way to Athens, while Madame Maunier, with her two girls, made her way back to Marseilles, where, with the aid of her toothers, she was able to open a small haberdashers' shop, which increased and prospered, enabling her to bring up her family and lay the foundations of a small in- dependency. The truant husband appears to have tried every trade and profession, without obtaining any satisfactory result, until in 1848, when he perceived the important r6le the invention of Daguerre weuld have throughout the world. He learnt the process, and went to Cairo, knowing that an art considered wonderful in France would be accounted a miracle in the land of the Pharaohs. Maunier, on his arrival at Cairo, was far from dis- appomted with his reception at the handiof the Pacha. He took portraits of the Court and managed to ingratiate hnhself with Prince Halim, son of the fanions Mehfemet AU Pasha, with whom he made some valuable ^archaeological discoveries in the neighbourhood of the Pyramids. Some few thousand yeara ago the man who could read or explain a dream to the Pharaohs was called at once to honour nnd dignity, and even now a species of veneration awaits the fortunate individual who can make dwcoveries adding prestige and wealth to sue- rainty fast faHirig into decay. Balim Pasha and Marnier became bosom frienda and oompaniens. The Prince, among his vast estates, was possessed of land which had been extensively planted with sugar canes, and Mavinier perceived t at once what w lmmenee fortune might be. made. The tWO partners started a large sugar ex- tracting and refining work *gn the neigh- bourkoodofJxmgsor, the first of its kind ever intro- duced into Kgypt, and they were rewarded" beyond their moat 8&npine expeetatioaa. Both became rich and powerful. Maunier looked about him, paying his addresses to a yonng giri who sang and danced at a Moorish coffee-house in Cairo. She waS the daughter of the master of the establish- ment, and had gained a reputation for beauty. The forwutrti wife appeared most inopportunely for the truant husband on the scene. Cairo is not far from the OBnaebi&re, and Egyptian gossip can Marseilles. The wife had heard of her husbands good fortune, and had determined to make antirgmappe^ to him, promising-aU should ba forgotten and forgiven if he would return to hia old allegiance and to hie children. He KfaM, and at once commenced a suit for separation against his wife, gaining the day, owing to the powerful influence of his friend and partner Halim. Notwithstanding the opulent maiuMr hr which he lived, he «ontrived to persuade the French Consul that he was a mere dependent on the bounty of the Prince, and the wife had to return to Marseilles empty-handed, having been nonsuited in her claim for alimony. The ««nabob found that anything could be accomplished with money, and he went through the ceremony of jjiarri^ according to the rites of the Greek Church ^jth Madame Bouvaret-GaUj, the dancing-girl, who wifoi 1 sceiety and acknowledged ^Powerful, conceived a scheme f0I °f ¥• Political ambition. He ? similar to that which placed on the throne of tbe Ottoman Empire, but the J^nspiracy was discovered and the Prince if88 k*nMhed'. He turned his footsteps towards I J? foreigner, Paris. He was accompanied by Maunier, who, to prevent any enf°rced him by the ver- "ti Jf4Sfoou2 of Ia»- made over all his p Bouvaret-Galli and two of his ,and only surviving daughter met him at Marseilles as he landed from the Bto&mervbut he refused to recognise them. He made 1° ?!„ "owety in a most brilliant "Sfc*? hotel purchased in the Bue Scribe and fttted up in the Oriental style with luxury. Invitations were sent ? had remembered the magnificent hospitality offered to all COIners by Francis Bravais were eager to bow down before the golden calf and Madame Bourawt-GaHi, for such according to French law i"?..?erer be, was anxious to establish her position as Madame Maunier in the eyes' of the worn. She was thought by the habituS* of the Bois ? and the Opera to be the lawful spouse °«ti! ?eT millionaire, and nothing was heard of the unfortunate T6r&a Maunier, nee Oddo, who was earning her living at Marseilles, remembering her duty towardl her husband, and still offering him forgive- nas. 1 nnK a Tep7 severe illness the curt of the Madeleine endeavoured to reconcile the husband and wife, and would probably have succeeded had not Madame Bouvaret-Galii intervened and declined to peruut the old priest to see the siek man. The legitimato wife was advised to commence a series of actions against her huaband, which, if legally unsuccessful in point of law owing to the separation pronounced before the consular authorities at Cairo, would haTe areat influence on the rich parvenu, whe, like most ofhiaelaaa, trembled with apprehensions as to the result of an adverse verdict recorded against him by public opinion. Kadame Maunier refused to take any steps, and when business was in a most critical stote with her she merely Wrote to her hus- band asking him to assist her for the sake of their daughter. At one moment—according to the opening speech the and daughter, now suing Madame Bouvsret-Galli for the purpose of obtaining P°T"1?n °f Property and money which belonged jJf *hen he died—Maunier was on the .SUlk beyond hepe of recovery, he friends who hnew the, ewenm- effect a Hs was on the point of yielding, and .actually written to the wife and daughtw begging them to come to Paris at P1* by the side of their dying husband and father. An effort was made to fceep the family divided. Madame Bouvaret-Galli, finding she was losing her influence over the dying man, whose mind was continually wandering hack to happjdaysspent at in«, determined to remove of those who were advising h"0 her own particular interests. A house at Neuilly, and the sick man dead of night, only a few people ^5 oonfidence of the supposed Madame family declare that during the few jays when Maunjy was struggling for life, securities tuKfo Property were removed from the house jii the aue Scribe and delivered up to Madame Bouva- yet-gatn, on orders signed by the/dying man, whose ¡"hereabout.

At last Maunier died, ana the seal wife, to protect her own in-, terests, caused seals to be placed on all the books, Spers, .closets, ehests, &c., of her late husband. to^L°*refuUy taken revealed the astound- ing fact that the "nabob". had died almost « league Francois Bravais. Madame gouveret-Galli admitted that she had been band- gomely provided f0r, and the widow, dissatisfied with he explanations she received, commenced a law auitagainjt her rival, who had held her place for °rL? ^S'^eilty y*™. and ,had supplanted her 'nneral, usurping the position of tji as the case was about to be Bouvaret-Galli volunteered a state- ?

The offer was accepted, a deed was signed, and lawyers thought they had heard the last of the case. Madame Maunier has, however, dNcoveted since that her husband at the time of his death had more than one claim to the title of millionaire; and finding that Madame Bouvaret-Galli had claimed a sum from Halim Pasha of over .£80,000 aa due to the Maunier estate, of which she is commenced an action praying that the deed or compromise may be set aside, owing to her having been induced to execute it on the fraudulent representations of her rival.

A COSTLY SOLDIER. An ugly suspicion exists in military circles that the strength of our land forces as exhibited on paper is much in excess of the real number of our soldiers. Not that English officers adopt the plan of pocketing the pay of paper men; that sort of arrangement died out finally, we believe, in India about the time of the battle of Plassey. But it is un- questionable that the British army contains a number of ingenious individuals who have mastered the art of self-multiplication. The following sugges- tive history of one of these accomplished gentle- men has just come into our hands, and as it was re- counted by himself the details may be accepted as ac- curate. The statement of Private James Morrissy, 14th Foot: In the beginning of the year 1872 I en- listed in the Liverpool Militia under the name of James Reilly. In the beginning of the year 18731 enlisted in the 2nd Lanarkshire Militia, under the above name of James Beilly. About the third or fourth month of 1874 I enlisted in the Barnard Castle Militia, county Durham, under the name of Thomas Farr. About the year 1871 or 1872, in the fifth month, I enlisted into the 6th Lancashire Militia, under the name of James Boss. About the 12th November, 1876,1 en- listed in the 2nd Lancashire Militia; also on the 19th November, 1876,1 enlisted in the 5th West York Militia, under the namss of James Dunn. I enlisted for the 20th Regiment of Foot. I enlisted in Man- chester in November, 1876, and was sent to the depot at Bury, in Lancashire. I enlisted and was sworn in under the name of James Dunn in the city of Manchester. In the beginning of the first month, 1874, I enlisted in the Royal Artillery, under the name of James Hogan, for which I got attested and sworn in. In the year 1868 I was discharged from her Majesty's ship Impregnable with ignominy. I was serving then as a boy under the name of Robert Jackson. About 3rd September, 1874,1 received the sentence of eighteen months' imprisonment for mutiny on the high seas, while serving on board the steamer Columbia. (This was read over to him.)—Signed, JAMBS MOEKISSY, 2-14th P. W. O. Regiment" He has been three times tried since he has served with the 14th, in addition to the aforesaid.

HUSBAND AND WIFE. At the Olerkenwell Police-court, Joseph Watkins, cabinetmaker, 358, Liverpool-road, was charged on remand with assaulting his wife, Bsther. Mr. Bicketts, solicitor, defended. The complainant stated that on Monday night her husband came home and asked for a clean shirt, and, on being told that it had gone to the wash and had not been returned, he be- came violent, knocked her down by a blow in the face, and bruised her severely. In reply to Mr. Bicketts the witness said she had always been a good wife to the prisoner. Mr. Bicketts handed witness a letter addressed to her, and asked the namfe of the writer, which she refused to give. Mr. Bicketts then read the letter as follows: < My darling Esther,—I sit down to write you a few more lines before I leave you for good, but before I do that I wish to ask yod one or two ques- tions. The first one is this: If I get money, will you oome away with me somewhere, say either in England or to France ? only do not say so now, add then, when we are going to start, alter your Mind. I dare say I shall manage' tv. get by to-morrow .£16 to £ 20. Now, my darling, will you come With me? The people who I shall get the money from will nottronble to come after me, so now, if yon love me, you will oome, Ac." This letter, with some poetry, written in the same handwriting, the prisoner had found hi a box belong- ing to his wife. The poetry was supposed to re- present the feelings of two separated hearts, and was asfollows: A heart I here prssent to you, A heart that is sincere and true; » That never will incline to join To any other heart but thine. Two hearts you have, and I have none, Now is it not a wonder That you should have your heart and mine, And be so far asunder ? (Much laughter.) The writer (continued Mr. Bieketts) then described his feelings as follows: I feel so extremely revengeful to-day, So teeming with purposeless spite, That everyone—except you—that comes in my way, I have such a longing to bite. Ifeel so unmeaningly vicious and raw, With all my relations and friends, My heart is so bent upon going to law, To give me an untimely end. With yearning so nearly akin to distress I feel that I inwardly long To go to your bad, wicked husband, And do him some horrible wrong! Mr. Bicketts contended that his client, eould he give evidence, would be able to show that he had been shamefully treated. The discovery of such letters by him naturally created a feeling of animosity against his wife, who refused to give him the name of the writer. During Mr. Bieketts's remarks, the com- Slainant was most violent in her accusations against her husband. Mr. Hosack ordered the prisoner to enter into his own surety in the sum of .£10, to be of good behaviour for six months. "\1." 4

HONBSTY REWARDED.—Oli the 9th February one of the conductors of the London General Omnibus Company, plying between Barnshiity and Kenningfon- park, found in his omnibus a bag. containing gold watches, diamond rings, packets of unset diamonds, and other articles of jewellery of considerable value, which he deposited at the station-house, and they were afterwards forwarded to Scotland-yard. He has just been rewarded by the Chief Commissioner of Police with .£60, which the owndr of the property had to pay. AN ANTI-VIVI8BCTION MKKTINO.—A meet- ing, called by the International Association for the Total Suppression of Yivisectiou, was held at the Lecture-hall, Metropolitan Tabernacle. The chair was taken by the Bev. B. JL Baynes, hon. canon of Worcester and vicar of Coventry; but it was evident from the first that, owing to uproar in the hall, the meeting could not go on. Several gentlemen at- tempted in vain to obtain a hearing. The chairman, in announcing that the meeting was at an end, read an extract from a letter which he had received, in which it was stated that an organised opposition had been got up by 000 medical students, with the express object of putting a step to the meeting. AN INFANT BUBNT TO DXATH^—An inquiry was held in the Alfred Ward at St. Thomas's Hos- pital, on the body of Ernest William, the infant son of Mr. George Jackson, residing at No. 21, Weethall- road, Blfin-road, OamberwelL It appeared that the deeeMed, in the absence of hi* mother, obtained a box of matches. Whilst playing with them the matches ignited, and. set his clothes on fire. The jury, after referring to the lamentable fact of a number of ohildren being .buntto death through playing with matches, returned a verdict of Accidental death by burning." SHOCKING DISCOVHBT.—Andrew Johnstone the local agent for 4m Charity Organisation Society at Portsmouth, had not been seen or heard of since the end of November last, and on the.police breaking open the branch office of the society, a few days since, the missing man was found dead in bed. His body .was frightfully decomposed, as he had no doubt died in his «leep some months since. DBOWNKD IN TH* THAHAS.—The body of A man, unknown, has been found in the Biver Thames. The deceased, who is about 60 years of age, was observed floating beneath the nerth arch of Blaek- friars-bridge, and was recovered by Mr. Day, the pier-master. No money or any document to prove identification was found. Deceased waadressed in a black doth frock-coat and vest, and wore a pair of check trousers and sidespring boots. He is 5ft. 9in. in height, dark whiskers, beard and moustache slightly turning grey.

TIm LATH GBOSGB CBTTIKSHANK.—Whether the late Mr. Oruikshank owed his long immunity frem the inroads of old age to only drinkmg water, I do not know; but he certainly was a wondrous instance of this immunity. About four years ago, when he was 81,1 remember passing an evening, or rather a night, with him at the house of a friend in Brompton. We emerged into the street at about 4 a.m. A cab passed, and I hailed it. He laughed at me for not walking home, and set off himself to walk to his house, near Hampstead. If any one wants to know what Oruikshank looked like, he has only to turn to one of the illustrations of Oliver Twist. The artist was sitting meditating how he should portray Fagan. He saw his own shadow reflected on the wall, and it became Fagan. But a man more unlike Fagan, except in regard to the outward presentment, never existed. A few months before his death, he told me that his income was amply sufficient for his own modest wants, but he had many calls upon him, and to meet them, he was always devising some plan by meaD8 of whioh he might gain a few pounds.—Truth.

ENGLAND'S FIELD ARMY..

ENGLAND'S FIELD ARMY. (From the Times.") A good way of ascertaining what our real position is will, wo think, be to imagine oursdrei in the posi- tion of a staff officer addressed by the Duke of Cam- bridge as follows: "Draw up a memorandum showing both how many troops, &c., we have available for an expedition—say to Turkey—and the steps neces- sary to be taken to put an army destined for that purpose together." The first step is to ascertain the number of efficient fighting men available, for there is a difference greater than civilians would imagine between the pape** and the real strength of an army. On reference to the Army Estimates for the current year, we find that the total number of men voted by Parliament is 133,720, including staffs of brigade depots to be formed from the staff of the auxiliary forces. Of these, about 29,000 are in the colonies* leaving at home 104,720 of all ranks. To these must be added 20,000 men—according to the latest calculation-first-elass Army Reserve and 30,000 Militia Reserve. Thus we have 154,720 of all ranks liable to serve abroad and available— on paper—for an expedition to Turkey or elsewhere. A Corps d'Armee contains 36,805 of all ranks, and it might appear from the above that we could easily despatch an army of three corps. A careful analysis, however, will show that we should be rather straining our resources and leaving ourselves without reserves were we to do so. Moreover, the strength of the cavalry is insuf- ficient for much more than two corps and a body of etappen troops. On the assumption that the landing would be effected in Turkey, the etwppen troops could scarcely be set down at less than live battalions of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, one company of engineers, two batteries of field, and two of garrison artillery. A naval brigade and a body of marines might be landed to assist in holding the point of'dis- embarcation, but the fleet itself would be actively em- ployed, and could not make a large contribution. Let us now see how the infantry are to be supplied. Two corps and five etappen battalions would require 47 battalions of 1097 of all ranks each. The Guards, seven battalions strong, with a total strength of 5950 of all ranks, would as umal fur- nish a brigade of three battalions, each of which, by drawing on the home battalions, could be easily raised to a war strength. Thus we need only take into consideration 44 batta- lions of line infantry. In the Mediterranean are 12 battalions, each 917 of all ranks strong. These could furnish six battalions, 1001 strong each, volunteers being obtained from the battalions left in garrison to fill up the expeditionary battalions, and militia regi- mentis being ordered out from home to take the place of the latter. That leaves 35 line battalions to be sent from England. There are at present 64 battalions, of whom 12 have an establishment of 903, four of 609, and the remainder of 603 of all ranD, r Thereare, however, many eliminations to be made from' each battalion before sending it on an expedition. There are the wanting to complete," men absent but not yet struck off the rolls, men in hospital or prison, men from age or some physical disability nwflt for active service, undrilled recruits, and lads who, being under 20, are, according to the highest authorities, incapable of supporting the hardships and fatigues of a campaign. On an average, two out of three of the infantry recruits will not attain the age of 20 under a year, and then they will be a. year younger than the average age or OoDtiDeatat. recruits after being dismissed drill. We may," therefore, fairly deduct 10 per cent. from the regi- r ments on the lower establishment and 15 ftom those on the higher establishment for this eamse. There is a larger proportion of recruits iD.!t}te stronger than in the weaker regiments; hence the higher percentage of deductions- from the former. Add 5 per cent. for other causes, and that is a low estimate, for several regiments are much below their establishments. By this process 12 battalions would be reduced to about 727 of all ranks, and the remaining 26 out of the 88 tofeersant-frem home to about 502.. It would be necessary, in order to bringr all 38 battalions to the regnlated vter strength of 1097 of all ranks, to add about 20,000 men. Of the 20,000 men of theftnt class army reserve, probably about 18,000 are infamry, and about 17,000 of thele might be reckoned on as fit to serve and obeying the sum- mons. All these would be excellent men in every respect. Of the militia reserve of nominally 30,000 men, probably 20,000 infantry, men fit to serve, would come forward. From these 3000 good men could be picked to complete the required augmentation of the expeditionary battalions. This would leave 17,000 men. to fill up the gape in the garrison battalions at Malta and Gibraltar, to supply men for subsidiary corps, and to provide. first reserve at Malta. The result of this calculation is satisfactory as regards numbers, for, as we have shown, we could send out two corps, a body of etappen troops, provide a first reserve, complete the regular battalions left in the Mediterranean, expand the Army Service and Army Hospital Corps, have fun depdts in England, and yet possess 26 line bat- talions, each about 600 strong, besides four battalions of Guards, in the United Kingdom. These with the second-class army reserve, the militia and the volun- teers would constitute a force quite sufficient for home defence. ¡

A PLEA FOR "BREACH OF PROMISE." A correspondent writes as follows in the Timet: In the overpowering excitement at present prevailing both abroad and at home of Russian a Turk, the 'comparatively peaceful action of "JliamJU of Pro- mise/ as mooted by Mr. 'HeweheH's bill, meets bat scanty attention. A word may, however, find place in favour of the time-honoured process the honour* able member for Durham would fain see entirely abolished. He views the question from a high stand- point of delicacy and disinterestedness, and apparently forgets that legidation is not alone for the upper-ten, but also for the masses. True that no woman of refinement could under any provocation wish to seek a salve for wounded affec- tions in what is certainly a low kind of revenge on a slippery lover. But it is equally true that our entire female population can by no means lay etaims to a niceness of feeling which Would prevent its having occasional recourse (with a general healthy effect for the community) to a remedy provided for its comparative safety from the trifler and seducer. In the lower middle elass, and in yet humbler grades, women, in losing the law of "Breach of Promise*" would find a safety barrier thrown down which would leave them exposed, all helpless and undefended, to the mercy of any man who, studying only self-gratifi- cation, might choose to play the lover. There, wowld be nothing to hinder an unprincipled fellow from con- tracting an engagement and making solemn-promines of marriage he had no intention of keeping. Frequently, also—for human nature is more often weak; than it ia wicked—men who would shrink with a holy horror from facing the chance of an actiou for "breach" would (that terror once withdrawn) yield to temptation, and without a precise intention > to deceive offer marriage, trusting to the chapter of accidents that they might perhaps fulfil their word. Of the thousands of gentlemen who lodge baehetof fashion in London, how many would see the blandishments of their landlady's comely daughters and nieces in an amatory light, secure in the know- ledge that, should the undesirabiKty of the connection, prove too strong for their affection, it was open to them at any time to desert the woman, who was powerleseto punish? Most women prefer the eBent agony of a blighted life to any comfort to be obtained from publicity in the newspapers. Not a hundredth part ef the cases that possess every requisite find their way into the law courts; but we may believe that the small per cent. which do act as awholesome deterrent to the many.

AN ECCBNTBIC CENTENARIAN.—On Monday there died at Dundaylor, near Aberfeldy, a widely known "ganerel bodie," named Peter Figgans, who is said to have reached the extraordinary age of 1(11 years. He was a native of the county Down, Ireland, and came to the Highland* of Perthshire half a cen- tury ago, and was then known to be an elderly man. Ete was a pedlar, and went through the country vend- ing drapery wares till within a few days of his death. During his long sojourn in the Highlands he was never known to wear a coat. However stormy the weather, he might have been seen trudging up hill and down dale dressed in a scanty-sleeved vest with a wdlet containing his stock-in-trade slung over his shoulder. Living temperately, and always having an eye to business, he was supposed to be the possessor of con- siderable means, but it is believed that, lacking faith in the banking system, he deposited his possessions i* various out-of-the-way places while on his waader- ings. On his clothes being searched after his death, ten sovereigns were found sewed up in one of bJ8 stockings.

Followers of Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni have grown by 26% since the start of the COVID 19 period, a survey conducted by Burson Cohn and Wolfe a multinational public relations and communications firm, headquartered in New York City indicates.
According to the survey, the 26% growth was the best in Sub-Saharan Africa, making Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni the most followed African President on Facebook in the COVID-19 duration.
Museveni is followed by Rwanda’s Paul Kagame, whose followers growth was recorded at 16%. Andry Rajoelina of Madagascar came third at 15% growth in following, followed by Edgar Changwa Lungu of Zambia (9.4%) and Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari at 7.7%.
Howeved leaders have seen their follower numbers grow exponentially in March 2020 as citizens are looking for guidance during the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the latest 2020 “World Leaders on Facebook” rankings by leading global communications agency BCW (Burson Cohn & Wolfe), during the month of March, the 721 pages of world leaders analyzed in the study, part of the Twiplomacy series, has added 13 million new page likes, a 3.7 per cent increase, which is almost half of the growth these pages enjoyed overall over the past 12 months.
Notably, the pages of Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and those of the governments of Austria, Estonia and Italy have more than doubled their page likes in March 2020 alone.
However, on the continent, the most followed President on Facebook is Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo with 1.6 million likes, ahead of Rwanda’s Paul Kagame.
Chief Innovation Officer, Chad Latz, said, “The significant increase in followers of world leaders on Facebook is a logical result of two primary drivers, populations seeking definitive answers on the c in some cases up to 36% and on Facebook more than 20%.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is still the most popular world leader on Facebook, with more than 44.7 million likes on his personal page and 13.7 million likes on his institutional Prime Minister of India page, which is in the fourth position.
U.S. President Donald Trump is the second most popular world leader on Facebook, with more than 26 million likes and Jordan’s Queen Rania is in the third position with 16.8 million likes, although she has registered a slight decline over the past 12 months.
For the first time the study, now in its fourth year, has incorporated the true reach per post for each of the Facebook pages of world leaders defined as a prediction of the number of real views an influencer gets per post rather than the volume of followers alone.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaches on average 1.7 million of his fans which represent only 3.8 per cent of his Facebook community.
Brazil’s President reaches on average 956,000 of his 10 million fans and U.S. President Donald Trump, who has 26 million likes, reaches 877,000 fans, i.e. only 3.3 per cent of his massive community.
However, U.S. President Donald Trump dominates the rankings for the most interactions with 309 million comments, likes and shares on his Facebook page over the past 12 months, ahead of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro with 205 million interactions.
The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has more than four times as many page likes is only in third place with a total of 84 million interactions over the past 12 months.
The study analyzes the activity of 721 Facebook pages of heads of state and government, and foreign ministers, 29 more than in the 2019 study using aggregate data from Facebook’s CrowdTangle tool.
As of March 1, 2020, the pages have a combined total of 362 million page likes and published 435,256 posts in the past 12 months which have garnered a total of 1.383 billion interactions (comments, likes and shares).
Other Key Findings Include:
Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo is the most popular leader in Sub-Saharan Africa with 1.6 million likes, ahead of Rwanda’s Paul Kagame. However, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali has made it into the Top 10 list with 735,000-page likes and he has the best true reach, reaching 35 per cent of his Facebook community.
Jordan’s Queen Rania has been topping the list of the most popular leaders in the Middle East and North Africa for several years. Although she has lost some of her page likes, with 16.8 million likes, she has twice as many likes as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi with 7.6 million likes and is ahead of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vic with more than 10 million page likes ahead of Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador with 6.4 million likes. Nayib Bukele, the new President of El Salvador, has shot into the third position with 2,229,506 page likes and a growth rate of 46 per cent.
As of March 1, 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron was the most liked EU leader with 2.5 million likes ahead of Italy’s Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and Romanian President Klaus Iohannis with 2.2 and 1.8 million Facebook likes, respectively. However, Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte who enjoys a healthy growth of 26 per cent over the past 12 months is bound to become the most followed EU leader.
For the first time the Russian Foreign Ministry tops the list of the most active world leaders with an average of more than 27 posts per day over the past 12 months. The governments of Uzbekistan and Botswana are in second and third position with more than 20 posts per day.

‘Dressed alike’ by photographer George Maas
People
Amsterdam-based photographer George Maas has a large collection of photos he made of couples wearing the same thing. His book ‘Geijkgekleed’ is now for sale in our giftshop.
“In the beginning of 2007 I started taking photos of them: couples who dress alike.
I don’t mean people that work in uniform, or teams or twins for that matter. They don’t count. Besides that, wearing the same piece of clothing on their upper body is my minimum requirement. I take their photos while they unknowingly walk down the streets or while posing. In almost every case I ask them why they wear the same jacket, sweater, T-shirt, bodywarmer, tracksuit or cardigan. I believe this is important and it makes this form of street photography more informative than simply documenting people in public spaces. The couples in my photos come from all over the world, dressing alike is a global phenomenon.
All of a sudden it caught my eye! Men and women wearing the exact same jacket. First I took their photos for fun, then I created a working folder on my computer and started studying them. This went on for a while, but at a certain point it became more serious and I started to look out for them. Nowadays I can’t go outside without checking every jacket that I come across.
Why do couples wear the exact same jacket? That is the question that has kept me occupied for the past few years. “Two jackets cost less!” “My spouse bought it for me!” But when I continued asking them questions, I got a little deeper. They often would rather not go into it too much or they have an emotional response such as: “But we have been married for over forty years!”
stellen die gelijkgekleed zijn met dezefde rompbekleding van hetzelfde merk, type en kleur
couples who are dressed in the same hullcladding
Behind their disguises I see two people that have created a pact together, against the rest of the world. In this way they show us that they belong together. And that’s beautiful.
The streets, where I meet most couples, is not the perfect place for confessions. Sometimes they don’t mind having their photos taken, but rather not talk about it. Others do talk, but don’t give their name or address. In such cases I hand them my business card in the hope they’ll reach out to me. About forty couples gave me more than a routine or cliche answer. They help to get to the essence of this photo project: to make sense of a specific type of behavior and to do away with all kinds of prejudice.”
The book ‘Gelijkgekleed’ by George Maas is available in our gift shop. Disguised as two caravans behind reception.

Disclaimers:
Joshua Project data is drawn from many sources and of varying accuracy depending on source and editorial decisions. Populations are scaled to the current year. Other data may have varying ages. We welcome updates.
Joshua Project occasionally adjusts profile text from third party sources. This is done to avoid confusion regarding the current reality of a people group, to fix grammar and spelling and to avoid potentially offensive wording.
A displayed zero can mean true zero, a very small rounded number or sometimes unknown. Blanks mean an unknown value.
The data is sometimes not as precise as it appears. Values for %Christian Adherent and %Evangelical (which determine unreached status) are often informed estimates, some more accurate than others. We recommend against using %Christian Adherent and %Evangelical to calculate absolute numbers.
Joshua Project makes every effort to ensure that the subject in an image is in fact from the specific people group. In rare instances a representative photo may be used.
Joshua Project may be able to provide more information than what is published on this site. Please contact us.
On-the-ground reality may vary from what is presented here. Before making travel plans based on data presented here, please confirm with other sources to the extent possible.

The comics world is reeling from the news that Stan Lee passed away earlier today in Los Angeles at the age of 95. Stan touched the loves of millions of people, including generations of readers. But along the way those readers grew up, and they started making stuff too, and the inspiration they drew from Stan’s work at Marvel was essential. And of course as Marvel grew and expanded into movies, Stan’s co-creations became some of the biggest names in the world of popular culture.
As word of Lee’s death made its way online, some of Lee’s colleagues at Marvel — including some of the men and women who played his characters onscreen — paid tribute, along with some of his famous fans. Here’s a sampling of the tributes so far.
More than any specific superhero, that’s Stan’s true legacy. He created characters that helped readers understand and navigate their world — and in shaping a Marvel that welcomed every reader no matter who they were or what they looked like, he reinforced the lessons he espoused in his writing. With great power comes great responsibility wasn’t just something Spider-Man said. It was clearly the way Stan lived his life. Rest in peace, Stan.

Case Study
Percy Farms
The headquarters of Percy Farms, the in-hand arable enterprise at Northumberland Estates, is at Ratcheugh Farm near Alnwick. Operating with a seven mile radius, farm manager, George Daniel looks after 3,660 arable acres (1,481 ha) with cropping including winter wheat and barley, oilseed rape and spring beans. Conservation and farming work hand in hand throughout, with an award winning grey partridge conservation project covering around 80 per cent of the arable acreage. In addition much the farmland has been entered into conservation schemes such as Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) and Higher Level (HLS) Stewardship agreements. This, however, does not preclude the use of new technology within the farming enterprise, which utilises GPS mapping systems to ensure accuracy when applying sprays and fertilizer, and yield and soil mapping to assist in the accurate application of lime, phosphate and other additives.
Case Study
Downton Abbey
In 2015 Alnwick Castle again welcomed the cast and crew of the major ITV drama, Downton Abbey. This follows the success of the 2014 Christmas special which saw Rose’s father-in-law, Lord Sinderby take Brancaster Castle (Alnwick Castle) in Northumberland for the grouse shooting season.
During a busy two weeks over the summer the team filmed for the 2015 series, again using the Castle's State Rooms and grounds. Meanwhile in Alnwick town, the cast and crew are rapidly becoming familiar faces.
Back in real life an exhibition of the 2014 filming of this ever popular show is proving a great hit with this season's visitors to the Castle. Featuring photography, costumes, and props from the filming, group tours are also available but require booking.
