Innisfail State School’s NAIDOC celebration

Some of the Torres Strait Islander dancers.

INNISFAIL State School recently celebrated NAIDOC with a special community celebration and an assembly, which started with the Welcome to Country.

School leaders then provided information on the history and meanings of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flag colours, as well as this year’s NAIDOC theme of ‘Heal Country!’

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Country is family, kin, law, lore, ceremony, traditions, and language and it has been this way since the dawn of time.

Therefore, they have been calling for stronger measures to recognise, protect, and maintain all aspects of their culture and heritage for all Australians.

Healing Country means embracing First Nation’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia’s national heritage.

It is important that the culture and values of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are respected equally to the cultures and values of all Australians.

This year’s theme is about the historical, political, and administrative landscapes adapting to successfully empower and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, nations, and heritage.

Helenor Rassip and Prep student Jayden had the honour of cutting the special cake.

At the first break, students enjoyed a piece of cake and a sausage sizzle.

After lunch, Prep to Year 3 students then took part in 25-minute rotational activities, which included storytelling, handprint paintings, and Mob style dancing, whilst the older students did boomerang throwing with Rhaymus Tomarra, art, and damper making.

A colouring competition was held and, after judging, the winners in each grade were announced.

The festivities continued in the hall with energetic performances by the Innisfail State College dance troupe, followed by the Torres Strait Islander dancers outdoors.

The demise of retail trend continues.

In its latest earnings report, Gap Inc. announced that they will be closing over 225 Gap and Banana Republic stores across the globe. Closures will begin this year with some extending into 2021. According to CNN Business, this is significantly higher than the 90 stores they originally planned back in March.

In the second quarter, Gap Inc. said they saw much improvement in sales (across all their brands -- Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, Old Navy, Intermix, Janie & Jack, and Hill City) compared to the first quarter when their stores were closed due to the pandemic.

The company delivered positive operating income and improved its cash balance by over $1 billion compared to the first quarter, ending the quarter with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $2.2 billion.

However, despite the improvement, the majority of their sales came from online shopping while store sales dropped 48%. Therefore they've made the decision to close even more stores.

Out of the company's four major brands, Gap and Banana Republic suffered the most. Net sales for the second quarter compared to the same time in 2019, declined 28% and 52% respectively. Overall, Old Navy saw a 5% decrease in net sales while Athleta saw a rise of 6%.

The locations of the affected stores will be released in October. The majority of those closing will be in malls.

Gap Inc's earnings report shows that over 6 months (ending Aug. 1) they closed a total of 87 Gap stores and 50 Banana Republic stores, globally -- most of those in North America.

In June, it was announced that Gap signed a 10-year deal with Kanye West for a new clothing line for men, women, and children. The company anticipates it will make $1 billion in sales from this new line alone.

State Police will honor fallen Trooper Lucas Dowell tomorrow during their annual service remembering colleagues who have died in performance of their duties. Dowell was fatally shot in Farmville three months ago as a tactical team executed a home search warrant. His portrait will go up alongside those of 65 other Virginia state troopers who have died in the line of duty.

From Virginia State Police: In advance of National Police Week, the men and women of the Virginia State Police and their families will gather together Thursday, May 9, 2019, to honor those public safety professionals who have given the ultimate sacrifice in their service to the Commonwealth of Virginia. During the 2019 Virginia State Police Officers’ Memorial Service, special recognition will be given to Trooper Lucas B. Dowell, 28, who lost his life Feb. 4, 2019 in Cumberland County. Virginia Senator Charles W. Carrico Sr., 40th District, will provide the ceremony’s keynote address.

A poignant part of the service will be the unveiling and dedication of Trooper Dowell’s portrait before his family and fellow troopers. Following the ceremony, Trooper Dowell’s portrait will be hung in the Colonel C.W. Woodson Jr. Memorial Gallery located within the Virginia State Police Academy. The gallery already holds the portraits of the state police’s other 65 courageous men and women who died in the line-of-duty while serving the citizens of the Commonwealth.

On Feb. 4, 2019, Trooper Dowell was assisting the Piedmont Regional Drug and Gang Task Force in his capacity as a member of the Virginia State Police Appomattox Division Tactical Team. The Tactical Team was executing a search warrant at a residence in the 1500 block of Cumberland Road/Route 45, just north of the town limits of Farmville. The Tactical Team had made entry into the residence when an adult male inside the residence began firing at the Tactical Team and subsequently shot Trooper Dowell. The Tactical Team members returned fire, fatally wounding the male suspect. Trooper Dowell was transported to Southside Community Hospital in Farmville, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Arthurian Legends

La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John William Waterhouse

This page is dedicated to Arthurian Legends! The tales of Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, Morgan, and Nimue/Vivian are enchanting. Throughout this blog you will find limitless discussion on the subject of Arthur and his knights of the Round Table!

There are so many fascinating figures in the realm of Arthurian legends. The tales within these legends are epic and sweeping, as well as being very romantic. Magic is very intertwined in Arthurian legend, and it is obvious that the Celtic Otherworld is very much involved in the tales of the Knights of the Round Table. Guinevere and Isolde are perfect examples of the Celtic tradition of Faerie Queens. They both have magical natures and this is, in some versions, a focal point. Faerie women marrying human men (especially royals) is a common theme in Celtic myth, and this was absorbed into Arthurian legend. The original Celtic, and pagan, origins of Arthurian legends was later absorbed into the Quest for the Grail. This was a way of medieval clerics to attempt to make the Celtic origins of Arthur into a more Christianized tale!

The love story of Guinevere and Lancelot is one of the most written about courtly love tales ever! Many medieval poets would draw on this story in their works, and modern writers and filmmakers still utilize this story today. Guinevere was a queen who fell in love with her husband’s greatest knight, and gave into her passions. In many tellings it is said that they were not as discreet as they should have been. There are versions where Arthur is willfully blind to the affair, and other where he attempted to have Guinevere burned at the stake. Of course, Lancelot rescued Guinevere from that fate! The story mirrors that of Tristan and Isolde, another queen who fell in love with a knight and betrayed her husband!

There are many posts here that focus on Arthurian legends, and they are hopefully enjoyable and informational. I would love to hear any comments you would like to share! I hope you enjoy your time here at White Rose of Avalon!

May 2018 Meeting Minutes

May 17, 2018 Meeting Notes

Welcome.  President Dave Bechtel called the meeting to order at 7:10.  Board members introduced themselves.  Treasurer Deb Maldonado showed everyone new WCA membership cards that can serve as proof of membership to vote at meetings.

Elections.  WCA elections were held for Vice President and Secretary:

  • Connie Matheson was unanimously elected to Vice President.
  • Mark Foran was unanimously elected to Secretary.

Committee Updates.  WCA committee updates included:

  • Library Committee: Connie reported that on April 27 the Books and Booze fundraiser was held. Like last year, the event was a great success, more than 70 in attendance, great involvement of the local merchants in support of a raffle, and most importantly the event raised $2,300 for the library. Last year’s fundraiser funded many great additions to the library including children’s activities, books, films, and learning materials.
  • Music Committee. Jan Kasienko announced that the 5th year of the WCA summer music series will begin in June. June 13 is jazz, July 11 is a singalong, and August 8 is classical. Times are 6-8 pm at Denicola Park on Treadwell Street, and the committee is still working on a rain location. Scott Matheson suggested renting a large tent in case of rain; Janet said that would be considered.

Presentation by Julie Smith, Director of Arts and Culture for Hamden.  Julie Smith introduced herself and said she sees her job as promoting arts as an economic development driver for the town, to entice people and businesses to Hamden as it is a great place to live. She presented the following points:

  • Hamden has a lot of great artists, many phenomenal painters, writers, musicians, etc. The town is trying to create a cultural centerpiece in the town center. The question is how to spread the word not only within Hamden but also regionally.
  • This year’s summer outdoor concerts in town center will focus more on local talent and will have a jazz night for the first time. This year will also feature reggae, disco, and 70s rock.
  • Julie suggested that the WCA and other groups send information on neighborhood events like the Summer Music Concerts to her and she will promote them.

Presentation by Mark Austin, Hamden Town Engineer.  Mark Austin talked about the proposals for Mather and Waite Street bridge redesign. In the past the proposed project was criticized for being inappropriate for the neighborhood, and the town lost the grant money that would have funded it. This year that same grant pool was not funded by the state, but it will take three years for design and approval, so the town is starting the input process now in hopes of qualifying for grants in future and having citizen support moving forward.

Using a response poll requesting opinions and ideas for the project, Mark said he has already received a lot of responses from the public indicating what they want to see in this project. Anyone can respond; the link is Currently, responses are 50-50 from Spring Garden and Whitneyville.

Mark opened up the floor for input.  Questions and suggestions included the following:

  • The previous plan was to widen the bridge for truck traffic. Is that the plan this time? Mark’s response: To get funding outside of the local government, projects must provide for access to trucks.
  • Given the age and condition of the bridges, the best course is to close both structures at the same time during construction. Also, it is key that the town ensure there is not diminished water capacity in the neighborhood. Mark’s response: Ensuring water capacity is required and standard in any project of this nature.
  • Will there be sidewalks? Mark’s response: The current conceptual plan shows sidewalks from both the north and south that will be connected to newly built sidewalk extensions on Waite and Mather.
  • Will there be a stop sign on Mather at Waite? Is this an opportunity to add one between Dixwell and Whitney to slow down traffic, because this is something the residents of Mather feel strongly about. Mark noted that as a suggestion,
  • The town can put lights on the bridges, not huge cobra lights but pedestrian sized lighting.
  • The ongoing challenge to solving traffic issues is that Mather is viewed as a pass-through, and Whitney is a state road, and the neighborhood as a result loses walkability. Mark’s response: There are limited east-west through streets in this area of Hamden, but there is discussion at the state level of turning roads like Whitney into local roads — and in fact that has long been a state recommendation — but the state ignores their own recommendations.
  • Cheshire has a stoplight pedestrians can press to stop traffic just for pedestrians. Mark’s response: There are two different ways to accomplish this, but he is not sure which mechanism would work.
  • The town should widen the bridge but not the road! Mark’s response: The roads can stay narrow, and will be required to have guard rails.
  • What will be the aesthetics of the projects? Mark’s response: Stone or faux stone can be used to improve the look of the project.
  • One concern is the rise of the road on Mather as it approaches Dixwell due to speeding. The road there is already raised enough. Mark’s response: He has a concern about the aesthetics of that idea, and suggested that the rise creates a separation between the industrial nature of Dixwell and the Whitneyville neighborhood.
  • Is the town trying to modify poor driver behavior? Can the police increase their enforcement of traffic laws? Wouldn’t that be more cost effective? Can stop signs help slow down speeders? Mark’s response: The Hamden police have been stepping up their enforcement. Another way to slow traffic and increase safety is to construct a three-way stop at the Waite-Mather intersection. That would slow down traffic as would a circle in that location.

Mark also announced that Hamden received a $2.8 million grant for various sidewalk improvements including Davis Street and Treadwell Street to the bike trail. He also noted the schedules for replacing sidewalks in Hamden, which unfortunately has a very long list of streets.  One person asked about Caroline Street, which needs serious help.  Mark stated that repairs are prioritized by when the complaint is received by the town. They are placed on a to-do list and handled sequentially. The only way around that system is when a street poses an imminent danger from an engineering perspective. Caroline Street is on the to-do list. To get a street on the list, go to and find the link to the street complaint app.

New Business.  Dave asked participants if they had any new business.  One participant noted the recent incident at the Children’s Center; he had expected this to be a topic of tonight’s meeting.  Dave acknowledged that citizens were concerned about recent events connected to the Children’s Center, and brought up the idea of a community discussion of the issue. He said the subject was not on the agenda tonight (the speakers had been engaged prior to the incident), but the WCA will be working on setting up a meeting that approaches the ongoing issues with a broader perspective.  There was a recent meeting between several residents, the Children’s Center and the Hamden Police which could serve as a model.

Other participants suggested trimming trees along Putnam Street (they can submit request via See-Click-Fix at, and supporting a neighborhood clean-up.  The WCA had sponsored clean-up days in past years but had low participation.

Adjournment.  The meeting was adjourned at 8:50.

Thanks to the Housing White Paper, an Open Land Registry is now much closer

Image: Front cover of John Bateman’s ‘The Acre-ocracy of England’, 1876. Source.

Yesterday’s Housing White Paper contained important provisions for the release of land ownership data – provisions which could transform our understanding of who owns this country. A much more open Land Registry is now on the cards. This is a major and very welcome turnaround: only last summer, it looked like the Land Registry could be privatised. Instead, a 150-year-old dream of revealing who owns England, a dream that began with the likes of Henry George and the Victorian land reformers, is now closer than ever to reality.

Here’s my analysis of what the White Paper proposes on opening up land ownership data:

“A.30 … HM Land Registry will be modernised to become a digital and data-driven registration business within the public sector. This is central to achieving genuine transparency on land ownership and control. HM Land Registry is committed to becoming the world’s leading land registry for speed, simplicity and an open approach to data.”

We had some hint that this was coming from a line in Autumn Statement 2016: “the government has decided that HM Land Registry should focus on becoming a more digital data-driven registration business, and to do this will remain in the public sector.”

The key new word here, though, is ‘open’. If the Land Registry is going to adopt an Open Data approach to the information it holds, that’s a seriously good step forward. It means making land ownership data not only free to access, but also usefully accessible – e.g. it’s downloadable, structured, and easy to analyse.

“A.31…. The Government will examine how HM Land Registry and the Ordnance Survey can work more closely together to provide a more effective digital land and property data service. This work will assess how their combined land and property data can be made more openly available to the benefit of developers, home buyers and others.”

Getting the Ordnance Survey to also buy in to efforts to open up land ownership data is crucial. One digital mapping guru has called Ordnance Survey “the great vampire squid wrapped around the face of UK public-interest technology”. OS licensing restricts the publication of maps showing land parcels (called INSPIRE polygons). It’s not much use knowing that someone owns a field if you can’t show where that field is: that’s what a map is for. Getting OS to accept Open Data principles on land ownership mapping is going to be tough, but for Ministers to be calling for it is a welcome push in that direction.

“A.32… the Government will ensure completion of the Land Register… and will aim to achieve comprehensive registration by 2030”

The Land Registry was set up in 1862 – yet 150 years later, it’s still not completed its register of who owns land in this country. That’s crazy. Around 80% of land in England and Wales is registered, with 20% ‘missing’ from the books. So this announcement – which sounds like it could form the centrepiece for a new corporate strategy for the Land Registry – is welcome, and well past time. However, it sets a disappointingly distant target date – 2030 is, after all, another 13 years away. And there’s no indication of how the Land Register will be completed. Currently, land is only registered when it changes hands. There are millions of acres of ancestral estates which haven’t changed hands in hundreds of years. Getting landowners like these to register their land will require a change in the threshold for registration – such as by making it obligatory if you receive farm subsidies, or simply making it illegal to own land that isn’t registered. But that’s not yet on the cards, it seems.

“…All publicly-held land in the areas of greatest housing need will be registered by 2020, with the rest to follow by 2025. As an interim step, the Government will collate and make openly available a complete list of all unregistered publicly held land by April 2018”

Cracking on with registering public sector land offers some welcome down-payment towards the (too-distant) goal of completing the Land Register by 2030. It’s frankly a scandal that many Local Authorities don’t know what they own themselves, or even where they do, that they haven’t registered it. As previously explored on Who Owns England, central government’s record and maps of the land it owns is fairly good (though not yet fully open); but council land is woefully opaque. I’m currently working on compiling Local Authority asset registers of their land and property. Hopefully it’ll be a useful tool for chivvying the government into accelerating their registration drive.

“A.33… the Government proposes to improve the availability of data about wider interests in land. There are numerous ways of exercising control over land, short of ownership, such as through an option to purchase land or as a beneficiary of a restrictive covenant… Therefore, the Government will consult on improving the transparency of contractual arrangements used to control land.”

This is a welcome step forward to tackling land banking by developers, and uncovering currently hidden ‘Option Agreements’ that developers have signed with landowners. As I’ve written about recently, many large housing developers don’t appear to own their massive land banks outright, but instead are likely relying on Option Agreements. A public register of Option Agreements on land is something that homeless charity Shelter have long called for.

(I’m assuming that the Government will be running a separate consultation on these proposals, as they don’t crop up in any of the consultation questions for the Housing White Paper.)

“A.35. In addition, HM Land Registry will make available, free of charge, its commercial and corporate ownership data set, and the overseas ownership data set. These data sets contain data on 3.5 million titles to land held under all ownership categories with the exception of private individuals, charities and trustees.”

Saving the best til last, eh? This is wonderful news. It means the Land Registry will – it appears without further ado – be releasing, for free, data on who owns tens of millions of acres of England and Wales. Every company, every corporate body, every offshore firm that owns a patch of land here will suddenly be open to the light of public scrutiny.

It’s not everything, of course. As they make clear, private individuals will be exempt – and remember, that includes the Duke of Westminster (owner of 140,000 acres) and Prince Charles (owner of 130,000 acres via the Duchy of Cornwall), because their vast estates are registered in their personal names. And they’re just the tip of the iceberg. So huge swathes of England and Wales that lie in the hands of aristocratic families will stay under wraps – for now. But a precedent has been set, a Rubicon crossed.

When I started this blog six months ago, I didn’t think there’d be such positive change so quickly. But it’s happening. We’re going to find out who owns England. A dream that started with Henry George and the Victorian land reformers is now tantalisingly close to becoming reality.

Course Information

COM 411: Communication and Social Networks
Location: ONLINE
Class Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays; 1:30-2:45pm

Instructor: Jeremy Foote
Office Hours: Thursdays; 3:00-5:00pm and by appointment

Course Overview and Learning Objectives

Communication is inherently a social process. This class focuses on understanding how the structure of relationships between people influence communication patterns and behavior. This perspective can help us to understand a broad set of phenomena, from online communities to friendships to businesses. The course will also introduce students to using network visualizations to gain and share insights about network phenomena.

Students who complete this course will be able to:

  1. Understand the foundations of social network theory and analysis.
  2. Critically read and comprehend concepts, results, and implications presented in studies of social networks.
  3. Learn how networks are related to social phenomena in their personal and professional worlds.
  4. Gain a basic understanding of gathering network data and analyzing them using the programming language R.

Required resources and texts

This is an online class and you will need access to a decent computer. You will need a machine with at least 2GB of memory. Windows, Mac OS, and Linux are all fine but an iPad or Android tablet won't work.

  • Other readings: Other readings will be made available on Brightspace.

Reading Academic Articles

Many of the readings will be academic articles. I do not expect you to read every word of these articles. Rather, you should practice intentional directed skimming. This article gives a nice overview. The TL;DR is that you should carefully read the abstract, introduction, and conclusion. For the rest of the article, focus on section headings and topic sentences to extract the main ideas.

Note About This Syllabus

Although the core expectations for this class are fixed, the details of readings and assignments may shift based on how the class goes. As a result, there are three important things to keep in mind:

  1. Although details on this syllabus will change, I will not change readings or assignments less than one week before they are due. If I don't fill in a "To Be Determined" one week before it's due, it is dropped. If you plan to read more than one week ahead, contact me first.
  2. Closely monitor the class Discord. Because this a wiki, you will be able to track every change by clicking the history button on this page. I will also summarize these changes in an announcement on Discord that should be emailed to everybody in the class if you have notifications turned on.
  3. I will ask the class for voluntary anonymous feedback frequently. Please let me know what is working and what can be improved.

Class Sessions

This course will follow "flipped" classroom model. I expect you to learn most of the content of the course asynchronously. The goal of our time together is not to tell you new things, but to consolidate knowledge and to clear up misconceptions.

The Tuesday meeting will be a collaborative, discussion-centric session. Typically, about half of each session will be devoted to going over assignments and the other half will be a discussion of the readings and videos from that week.

The Thursday meetings will be more like a lab. Some of these sessions will include synchronous activities but they will often be more of a co-working time, where you can work synchronously on assignments and I can be available to answer questions.

Getting Help

Your first place to look for help should be each other. By asking and answering questions on Discord, you will not only help to build a repository of shared information, but to reinforce our learning community.

I will also hold office hours Friday mornings on Discord (sign up here). If you come with a programming question, I will expect that you have already tried to solve it yourself in multiple ways and that you have discussed it with a classmate (e.g., on Discord). This policy lets me have time to help more students, but it's also a useful strategy. Often just trying to explain your code can help you to recognize where you've gone wrong.

I will also check Discord at least once a day. I encourage you to post questions there, and to use it as a space where we can help and instruct each other. In general, you should contact me there. I am also available by email. You can reach me at I try hard to maintain a boundary between work and home and I typically respond only on weekdays during business hours.

Note: Edited after the move to online classes to remove second exam and explain final project.

There will be multiple types of assignments, designed to encourage learning in different ways.

I expect you to be an active member of our class. This includes paying attention in class, participating in activities, and being actively engaged in learning, thinking about, and trying to understand the material.

To make sure that everyone has an opportunity to participate and to encourage you to do the assignments, I will randomly select students to discuss readings or to explain portions of homework assignments and labs.

Discussion Questions

In order to make sure that we are prepared to have a productive discussion, you are required to submit two discussion questions that you think would be interesting to discuss on Monday by noon. Submit these questions on the #discussion-questions channel on Discord

Questions should engage with the readings and either connect to other concepts or to the "real world". Here are some good example questions:

  • The readings this week talked a lot about how network ties get created. I made a list of my closest friends and I realized that most of them only became friends after we happened to be in the same groups over and over again. What role does repetition have in forming ties?
  • I was confused by the reading on social capital. What's the difference between social capital and power? And if they are the same, then why not just call it "network power"?
  • Imagine you were asked to analyze the network of a big company to help them to identify people who deserve a raise. What measures would you use to identify them? What would you not use?

Some weeks will also include more practical homework (mostly data manipulation and visualization in R). On those weeks, portions of our discussions will center around going over homework questions and identifying places where folks are still confused.

There will be a number of homework assignments. At the beginning of the class, these will be designed to help you to grasp foundational network concepts. As the class progresses, more and more of them will be analyzing and visualizing networks in R.

There will be one in-class exam, approximately halfway through the semester. It will assess your understanding of core communication and social networks concepts.

Final Project

Students will work on a Final Project that explains how network analysis and a network approach can benefit an organization.

A number of intermediate assignments through the semester will help you to gain the skills and data necessary to be successful.

This course will follow a "self-assessment" philosophy. I am more interested in helping you to learn things that will be useful to you than in assigning grades. In general, I think that my time is much better spent in providing better feedback and in being available to work through problems together.

The university still requires grades, so you will be leading the evaluation of your work. This will be completed with me in four stages, at the end of weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16. In each stage, you will use this form to reflect on what you have accomplished thus far, how it has met, not met, or exceeded expectations, based both on rubrics and personal goals and objectives. At each of these stages you will receive feedback on your assessments. By the end of the semester, you should have a clear vision of your accomplishments and growth, which you will turn into a grade. As the instructor-of-record, I maintain the right to disagree with your assessment and alter grades as I see fit, but any time that I do this it will be accompanied by an explanation and discussion. These personal assessments, reflecting both honest and meaningful reflection of your work will be the most important factor in final grades.

We will use the following rubric in our assessment:

  • 20%: class participation, including attendance and participation in discussions and group work
  • 20%: Labs and homework assignments
  • 25%: Exam
  • 35%: Final Project

The exam will be graded like a normal exam and the score will make up 25% of your grade. For the rest of the assignments (and the other 75% of your grade), I will provide feedback which will inform an ongoing conversation about your work.

My interpretation of grade levels (A, B, C, D/F) is the following:

A: Reflects work the exceeds expectations on multiple fronts and to a great degree. Students reaching this level of achievement will:

  • Do what it takes to learn the principles and techniques of social networks, including looking to outside sources if necessary.
  • Engage thoughtfully with an ambitious final project.
  • Take intellectual risks, offering interpretations based on synthesizing material and asking for feedback from peers.
  • Share work early allowing extra time for engagement with others.
  • Write reflections that grapple meaningfully with lessons learned as well as challenges.
  • Complete most, if not all homework assignments at a high level.

B: Reflects strong work. Work at this level will be of consistently high quality. Students reaching this level of achievement will:

  • Be more safe or consistent than the work described above.
  • Ask meaningful questions of peers and engage them in fruitful discussion.
  • Exceed requirements, but in fairly straightforward ways - e.g., an additional post in discussion every week.
  • Compose complete and sufficiently detailed reflections.
  • Complete many of the homework assignments.

C: This reflects meeting the minimum expectations of the course. Students reaching this level of achievement will:

  • Turn in and complete the final project on time.
  • Be collegial and continue discussion, through asking simple or limited questions.
  • Compose reflections with straightforward and easily manageable goals and/or avoid discussions of challenges.
  • Not complete homework assignments or turn some in in a hasty or incomplete manner.

D/F: These are reserved for cases in which students do not complete work or participate. Students may also be impeding the ability of others to learn.

In general, I expect students to attend our Tuesday meetings and to typically attend our Thursday meetings. It is expected that students communicate well in advance to faculty so that arrangements can be made for making up the work that was missed. It is your responsibility to seek out support from classmates for notes, handouts, and other information.

Only the instructor can excuse a student from a course requirement or responsibility. When conflicts can be anticipated, such as for many University-sponsored activities and religious observations, the student should inform the instructor of the situation as far in advance as possible. For unanticipated or emergency conflicts, when advance notification to an instructor is not possible, the student should contact me as soon as possible on Discord or by email. In cases of bereavement, quarantine, or isolation, the student or the student’s representative should contact the Office of the Dean of Students via email or phone at 765-494-1747. Our course Brightspace includes a link to the Dean of Students under 'Campus Resources.'

Classroom Discussions and Peer Feedback

Throughout the course, you may receive, read, collaborate, and/or comment on classmates’ work. These assignments are for class use only. You may not share them with anybody outside of class without explicit written permission from the document’s author and pertaining to the specific piece.

It is essential to the success of this class that all participants feel comfortable discussing questions, thoughts, ideas, fears, reservations, apprehensions and confusion. Therefore, you may not create any audio or video recordings during class time nor share verbatim comments with those not in class linked to people’s identities unless you get clear and explicit permission. If you want to share general impressions or specifics of in-class discussions with those not in class, please do so without disclosing personal identities or details.

Academic Integrity

While I encourage collaboration, I expect that any work that you submit is your own. Basic guidelines for Purdue students are outlined here but I expect you to be exemplary members of the academic community. Please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

I strongly support Purdue's policy of nondiscrimination (below). If you feel like any member of our classroom--including me--is not living up to these principles, then please come and talk to me about it.

Building Wine on macOS

If you just want to install a recent version of Wine, and possibly report Bugs or AppDB tests, you should be fine just following the instructions on the main macOS page for installing a WineHQ package.

If you're interested in Submitting Patches or Regression Testing though, you'll want to build Wine from the tip of WineHQ's Git repo; this page explains how to do that on macOS in more detail.

Tango-style info icon.svg Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink are source repositories that can make it easier to build WINE on macOS, and some notes on using them are provided below. Note, however, that they are not part of the Wine Project; any problems with Homebrew, Macports, or Fink should be reported to the respective site.

In order to build and run Wine, you might need to install some extra software. Getting it shouldn't be much trouble though.

The Xcode development suite is the primary kit you will need, regardless of whether you decide to do a minimal build from git, use a build script, or download from one of the ports projects. A version of it will be included in the Optional Installs folder of your macOS installation DVD. You should also be able to download the latest version for your model from the Apple developer site.

Note: If you don't want to install the full suite, you should be able to make due with just the Command-Line Tools component of Xcode. This will include all of the necessary build tools and even git. Any other libraries should come pre-installed in macOS or can be pulled in automatically by other tools.

In the past, Wine's native Mac driver still needed a good deal of work so running Wine on macOS required installing an X11 server too. This is no longer necessary, but there are still some features missing from the Mac driver (see the to-dos on the macOS page) so you still might want to run Wine with the X11 driver.

According to Wikipedia, from v10.3 (Panther) to v10.7 (Lion) of macOS, Apple at least included a Mac-compatible X11 server as an optional install. However, since v10.8 (Mountain Lion), Apple has stopped providing its own release of the X11 server and advises all users to download the newest version of a compatible X11 server directly from upstream.

The open-source XQuartz project develops the Mac version of X11; you can download the disk-image file directly from there, then just use the macOS installer.

Dialog-warning.svg During setup, the upstream XQuartz disk-image will replace /usr/X11 (which is in most PATH variables) with a symlink to /opt/X11 (where it installs the files). However, if you upgrade your release of macOS, this symlink may get clobbered, leading to fatal errors in X11 programs. Reinstalling XQuartz will repair the link automatically, or you can manually restore it with:

sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11

If you have a supplementary package manager, you might also be able to grab XQuartz (or an equivalent port of the vanilla xorg server):

  • On homebrew, you can grab XQuartz from the related Caskroom repo:
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
  • On MacPorts, you can get fresh ports of either the xorg-server (stable X11 server), xorg-server-devel (development X11 server), or xorg (full X11 system) packages. For example:
sudo port -v install xorg-server

Once you have Xcode and a version of the X11 server (not required but highly recommended), you need to grab both the build and runtime dependencies for Wine. While you can just run Wine's configure script and keep installing libraries that it complains are missing, using a package manager will save you a lot of trouble and keep your system cleaner.

Dialog-warning.svg The main caveat with the various macOS package repos is that you do not want to mix them. Once you've decided to use one, stick with it, and if you decide to switch to a different one, it's probably best to uninstall all of your old packages first, then reinstall them with the new system.

Dialog-warning.svg The subsections below describe ways you can get just the necessary dependencies for Wine. If you want, you can always just install the appropriate wine package, which will pull in all the other packages you need. At that point, you can either uninstall just the wine package, or keep it and run your own build from within its directory.

Homebrew no longer provides a wine formula instead using cask to install wine.

The following would cover basic requirements;

brew cask install xquartz
brew install bison flex mingw-w64 pkgconfig

As homebrew no longer provides universal dylibs anything outside of XQuartz provided files and the basic build dependencies would need to be built from source

On MacPorts, to get all the dependencies for Wine, both build and runtime, you just want to use the rdepof: query (short for "recursive depends of") with the install command. Unless you definitely want the stable release of Wine, use the wine-devel package to get the most up-to-date dependency list:

sudo port -v install rdepof:wine-devel +universal

Please Note:
If you're running macOS High Sierra you need to install XCode 9 & XCode 9 Command Line Tools, not the versions from the App Store.
If your running macOS Mojave you need to do some workarounds check https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56991#comment:70

Building from Source

Now with the dependencies installed, you will use almost the same procedure as described on the Building Wine page. You should be able to run ./configure and make with the same parameters as on another system.

Note: In the past on macOS, it was necessary to point to libraries and headers installed through the package managers too. However, recent versions of all the major package managers should either automatically add to your PATH variable or create symlinks into /usr/local.

You can configure your build directory to compile with clang like so:

./configure CC="clang" CXX="clang++" CFLAGS="-std=gnu89 -g"

Please Note: While Wine can be compiled using XCode on macOS (Compiling with XCode10 requires MacOSX10.13.sdk & setting min version to 10.7) , however compiling wine64 will have problems with regedit and other components so its better to cross-compile using Docker (instructions for this will be added later)

Running a Custom Build

When installing Wine from source on macOS, you may need to make some quick configuration changes.

Dialog-warning.svg After compiling Wine from source, you can install it into /usr/local with make install, but it's highly recommended that you run it from the build directory.

Depending on how you installed XQuartz, you might see fatal errors in X11 when you try to run your own build of wine from the command-line. This is due to XQuartz installing into the /opt/X11/ directory and creating symlinks to /usr/X11/, neither of which is typically checked by the macOS dynamic linker. There are a couple of workarounds for this:

  • The first is to add the usr/X11/lib directory to the DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. You can do this when invoking wine like so:
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib:/usr/X11/lib" wine program_name.exe
  • The other method is to create symlinks to the libraries in usr/X11/lib/ from inside /usr/local/lib:
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/X11/lib/*

However, this second approach is more tedious to undo and may be more fragile in some situations.

Dialog-warning.svg You might need to tweak the actual directories in your list, but you can avoid the tedium of typing the list every time by setting it in one of your shell config files (e.g. .profile, .bash_profile, or .bashrc):

Dialog-warning.svg Joerg Hoehle proposed patching the winewrapper to adjust DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH every time wine is invoked. For some reason, the patch was rejected (perhaps changing PATH variables or symlinking should be done upstream by XQuartz?)

I! am right

All things considered, society functions impressively well

because, I think, of the extent to which the human species has diversified

Due to certain characteristics, an individual could be naturally fit for a certain activity

By fit, I mean equipped with the proclivities necessary to excel without training

That individual could pursue that activity, make it their art, and practice it with virtue

If we are speaking less with respect to technical activity,

and more with respect to the moral and intellectual virtues

There also, the distribution varies

This isn’t a tough one

Different temperaments allow for different natural virtues

But with virtues

Come vices

Aaaand this is why I have trouble blaming people for things

(also I’m an agreeable person, so I am a bit biologically predisposed to have this opinion anyways)

Let’s suppose for a moment someone does something minorly reprehensible

Not quite, “whoa you killed someone”

But more like, “dude why did you do that”

It’s fairly probable that the personality characteristic(s) constituting the reason why the dude committed an unsavory act in this situation will cause him to commit a virtuous act in a different situation

There is a time for each thing

People are not actually concerned with good or bad

People do not care about that

People care about justice

And justice is a different question altogether

A few days ago, in a tweet, President Donald Trump used the phrase, “in my great and unmatched wisdom”

When I saw it,

I laughed

a lot

like a lot a lot

Like 21 Savage level a lot

and it somehow sounded better than his rapping now that I think about it

which is totally conceivable

My point is

Most people did not laugh when they saw this tweet

utterly tragic, I think

Most people considered it unjust

By that, I mean they found it to be unfitting

Like girls before wine

ya know, that sort of thing

no, I am not calling women pigs

although that can certainly be an applicable distinction on occasion

But I am also not calling them pearls, and I simply advise you not to give them a drink

I joke

For most people, the tweet was somewhere between very concerning –

and subsequently very validating of their self-righteousness; someone else is screwing the world! Esteem boost +243! –

and indicative of impending apocalypse.

These ones don’t seem too intent on saving the world though, but at least they might complain about it to God! or some activists or like a coworker or something

Here’s my take

stop freaking out

because I don’t think it’s honest nor intelligent

You’re blabbering like a seal that’s scared of the waves

And it’s pathetic

Trump happens to be a troll (thanks to my brother for that likely surface level, but conveniently succinct analysis)

And no wonder!

He’s an extremely capable man who used his rare intelligence, shrewd business savvy, and uniquely charismatic personality to become a powerful man

He can do what he wants

And he knows it

And he can do what he wants

because he knows it

That’s the funny thing about capable people

They’re self-fulfilling

What’s my point

Maybe self-righteousness has a purpose too

In most situations, it is unjust

And perhaps, to honor my logic above, when it is just it could be called something else

like confidence

Although I actually don’t think that “self-righteous” is a negative term

It has that connotation because most people confidently express ill-thought out opinions with some level of consistence

Regardless, the human trait of the hardfast perspective – whether its view be foolish or wise – first has allowed a president the confidence to lead

And second in many other situations it has lent itself to the good

After all, it we didn’t have all these small minded people who are subject to their own passion-laced, overactive BS radars,

then a lot more would go unnoticed

For the past two days I’ve been eating cabbage, thinking that it was iceberg lettuce

I opened the package!

The label was in my hands! Facing me!

I’m not the guy to notice things

My brother told me it was cabbage

You know what I said?

“oh, so that’s why it’s so rubbery…”

Short Story: The Alien Seeker

In 2008, Darrel Montgomery Terdenbaxter Jr. II founded IOAT (pronounced “yote”), the Institute of Official Alien Trackers. Well, he called it an institute, though the appellation remains a bit unrealistically ambitious. More of a site, perhaps – a website, that is, and a dodgy one; it was a bit of a dodgy website. Well, not so much a dodgy website as it was a forum on a dodgy site – a dodgy website, that is. IOAT (pronounced “oat” with a “y”) was a forum on a dodgy website.

By 2012, the forum had garnered over forty members worldwide. Darrel was ecstatic with his success and flattered to lead such a conscientious troupe. Darrel, being the founder, appointed seven generals, each of which had two corporals, each of which would have three squad leaders, each of which would have two sub-squad leaders, to each of whom would report three micro-troupe commanders, who would be forced by everyone above them to work with the plebs of the esteemed community. The forty-third member, and the first pleb to report directly to a squad leader, was a young boy who found himself here now in a grand situation.

The boy felt that the truth had led him here. The boy’s name, of course, was Jason, and his title, obviously, was Plebeian UFO Tracker. Where had the truth led him? Here, in pursuit of this UFO, naturally.

“AGGGHHH” Jason cried gutterally and panted violently and staggered staggeringly across a terrain mottled with clumpy grass clumps and sparse forest clumps – trees. Ahead and above him bumped along an amoeba-like UFO- ahem, forgive me, IFO.

“It appears amoeba-like!” Jason squinted as he cried gutterally and panted violently and staggered staggeringly in pursuit of the now identified flying object as it zigged along its cheery path. What was this truth? Aliens.

“I know I shall find these outer-space folk! It is my birthright!” Jason was no Esau, and destiny was no matter of play. However, whatsoever creature steered the helm of that amoeba-like IFO- ahem, forgive me, IFS, was itself guided enough by a mind of play that – in order to keep the distance between the boy and the ship minimal – as the identified flying ship would continually and effortlessly overtake at least thirty-seven or thirty-eight pale green clumps of grass for every one clump traversed by young cardiovascularly-disadvantaged Jason, it would just as quickly slow down or even reverse direction for a moment in brief retrospect of charming nature’s vistas missed due to the ship’s faster speeds.

“I can’t believe they haven’t escaped!” Jason exclaimed to himself – not out loud, no no; to speak a word would be to draw out the enormous barf that welled in the recesses of his will – and his stomach.. really mostly his stomach. Remarkably, Jason gained some ground between them; it was almost as though the IFS- ahem, forgive me, ITS, were trotting backward. Where exactly were these aliens? What possible place could “here” possibly refer to? Earth.

“Where am I?” Jason was affected by that clueless incredulity which affects all people who, consumed by their focus, snap to the land of general reality for but a moment. You’re on Earth, Jason. You’re a young boy, Jason, chasing an identified trotting ship which, in its trots, stops and starts, hovers and takeoffs, sees and stoops and smells and sallies to repeat, with you following behind, seeking your destiny.

“Man, if only arms could reach as far as eyes could,” Jason muttered – internally of course, but miraculously he was nearing the ship more and more! He was now the closest he’d been, and he kept on staggering staggeringly with no shortage of dry-heavery and growling gutterally. He could identify the details of the ship! It was!-

A cloud of bubbles?

Having neared sufficiently close, the boy tried to touch it, but the bubble-clump amalgam scooted forward just out of reach. He tried again – he was teased again. Jason reached out for a third time, to no avail. Hmm, what to do? The boy decided in his heart not to touch the clumpous mass, rather to examine it. Smaller clumped systems of bubbles would wilt off the large ship to waver through the air and plop on the ground, quickly crunching and writhing, decreasing and decomposing beautifully, like human fractals. Inspecting the bubbles at their lowly perch, the boy saw particles spinning along the surface. Sediment? Solution? Reflection? The wind urges their birth, their flight, their revolutions, their death.

Jason turned his eyes back to the ship. It writhed and contorted also, and as a specter rings her planetary anchor, so the ship sources its future self as out from its heart new bubbles emerge to orbit its circumference while aged and worn exterior bubbles frilling in their convulsions become empty space, whatever atomic fragments of them that remain flying to reinforce the solutive walls of another cell. The new was replacing the old, like skin. The old was kissing the new, like earth.

The boy lapsed now into the enthralls of refractive spheres streaming from the top of the ship so numerous that a veteran seaman embarked should have mistaken them for a concentrated unison exhalation of several baleen whales. Dispersing slightly at their peak over the specter of the bubble ship, the traveling orbs fell comfortably into a trail away from their mother, across the clumpy meadow toward the trees. Faced with choosing, Jason pursued this stream of bubbles.

Scrambling across the uneven meadow, the soil squished and scattered under his faltering steps. He had to hop around imprints of divots and dirt protrusions with grassy heads of hair, pivoting his head to and from individual bubbles to the ground to the collective stream of bubbles, a trail composed of interactions which seemed governed by destiny – just as he was, trailing the trail – and chasing the next step, to the ground to the near horizonal trees to the ground to the bubbles. Progressing further trans-meadow, the boy noticed a humble road bordering the edge of the trees, and whether it was the wind or some magnetism in the asphalt or something else, the current of spheres curved along this humble road parallel to the trees.

Young Jason had known very little of this strange world, nor had he been able to grasp why so much of it eluded him, and neither had he understood how those little parts which did not elude him were yet strange. This being the case, he proved an overawed audience, bearing witness to the procession of an ecosystem of life existing in a sort of pure depiction before him. He had jogged out ahead of the parade a bit and, now still in his station at the edge of the meadow, turned to examine the stream runneth by. The boy saw with tender heart and partook of the delicate dance, sacrificing himself to fragility & true life, having learned in that moment of their synonymity. He became as a bubble himself, and around him individual lives streamed o’er the air along the road between the meadow and the trees. Out from the travel & mingling and the vanity float, every bubble eventually tenders farewell and exits the stream, just as a strip of bamboo tugged by a panda might peel away from the ripe body of the stalk. Many bubbles lost to an unjust death wander back onto the muggy meadow and brave death’s dog days to seek again destiny’s UFO; even those most wretched find solace in another life. Rejoining the stream, these bubbles and others might head for the trees, for what they loved most in life was its thrill and the fullness of passion in the world and in themselves – onward to death’s most wonderful adventure! Often two bubbles would collide in venn consummation, to live a simple life ’til death do them together – ascended to join the clouds, one day to rain upon their descendants. Others singly, in pairs or threes or troves would hover slowly down, having born the good of the stream on their shoulders and the weight of their own greatness, and whether just or unjust their death, the pavement receives them with commendation; and the most tragic of those great ones might rest upon the worn embers of the road in hesitation, in fear of losing what vanity they’ve clutched, in love of that strange world for the sake of which they proffered themselves in service, before they augment the ranks of bubbles sunk and death’s final pop fossilizes their glorious stains in the road to be lauded, blessed and passed o’er.

So the boy continued amidst the caravan, a transparent soul. Equipped with circumferent perspective, the entire world resided amidst prismatic colors within his skin. He enveloped his surroundings with utmost internal iridescence which lacked only simultaneity. The bubbles around him had the world within them too. Well, not all, for some wretched souls remained obstinately empty. Others contained a tree or two, a house a crowd or town. A rare and special magnanimous bubble fastened within itself vast kingdoms & majestic terra, scintillating the brilliance of aurora borealis and all the wonders of ancient Earth. Jason’s magnanimity began to swell and bump the atmospheric edges of this planetary bubble. At the core of his soul, the origin of his inner explosion, stood a scene stolen from the woods by a glance. It was a holly tree during autumn which, having labored, sowed & flowered all of spring, was bright green and red with the joy of good health and fertility. And as the pleasure of life had served its own growth and satisfaction, the holly tree now served the next predator. A flock of Cedar Waxwings embraces the arms of the holly tree to conduct a feast, to squander the life that was there and nourish their bodies. This interaction at the origin of Jason’s soul, the origin of the world, boasts marvelous dazzle, for the sparkling hazel feathers and black crests compliment the brown branches hidden by lime green leaves and luscious red berries; there is nothing else so beautiful, and when the birds had done their deed with art complete they streamed away, leaving behind the vestiges of the holly tree rendered vigorless and stripped in her prime.

At Jason’s core appeared destiny manifest. And this is his newfound memory, that he is a child from the cosmos. Knowledge of the self derives from the physical world only to the extent that nature sparks inspiration, and the boy understood now that Earth was one step in a grand journey. Being a nomadic alien, he had spent most of his short life traversing wide galaxies. Being a boy, his spirit carried the great thirsting wonder of youth, and thus what characterized his own eyes and what characterized almost all of what he had seen was the same quality – an expansive spaciousness. Even Earth occupies only a small seat in the void of the universe. Space was without his body and within his eyes as young Jason treated his soul to the strange sights of the meadow, the stream, the road and the trees. Being an alien boy, he possessed that special combination of characteristics which permitted him a gift that no man can enjoy: novelty. Novelty is the gravity that beckons an infant out from the womb; it is the bubble that pops when the little life strains its head between the mother’s thighs and the silver cord is cut. And the new child will grow and touch their navel and pick with wandering twigs of digits at that imprint of perfect freshness, that fossilized residue of divinity’s pleasurable strangeness.
