To Tin: Akuo-Amkuran Motiikks and I)Ar(iirri:us who, in tiiosi-: DARK DAYS OF Ol'R HiSTORY, KN'DEAVORKI) TO T.E 1 AITIIFl I, TO WHAT TIIKY INDHRSTOOI) TO HE TIIK PRINCIPLES OF TrITH AND X'irtie; and also to the Xorle Women of THE Race ^vHo, ix these nRKJiiTEU days, HAVE ASSlDForSLY LAHORED, AS BEST THEY COFLD, TO ESTABLISH AN UN- IMPEACHABLE Character in THE Womanhood of THE Race ;

And TO THE Philanthropic Men and Women of the Cointry, VHO HAVE DONE AND ARE DOINO MUCH TO ElEVATE THIS l*EOPLE BY PROVII)IN(t FOR THEM A CHRISTIAN EDUCA- tion, and have not in consec^uence thereof demanded any sacrifice of their Manhood and Womanhood;

To Charles J. Pickford, the Author's Early Friend ani> Benefactor ; And to the Sacred Memory of a Lovino and Sainted W-ife, Lucie J. ScRucuis, a most valuable helper, who ren- dered MUCH ASSISTANCE, EVEN IN THE ['reparation of these paces; This Volume is Sincerely Dedicated

In launching this little barque, bearing the outlines of a book, the builder (author) is not altogether thought- less of the stormy sea over which it may be driven, nor of that far-away destiny (success) which it may never reach. And yet with hope as an anchor both "sure and steadfast" it has been launched, and out upon life's sea must go.

Who could expect otherwise than as it sails off from the shore that the severe scrutiny of the wise and learned, as well as the keen and rigid criticism of friend and foe, of the interested and the disinterested, the preju- diced and the non-prejudiced, will fall upon it with such activity as may be simply alarming.

But, after all, if by chance it is allowed to humbly pursue the journey of its mission, educating public sentiment, stimulating and encouraging the young women and young men of the race who are almost overcome and discouraged by the dashing billows of life's angry sea; if by reading the lives of these noble heroines; if by meditating upon their sacrifices and deeds; if by contrasting the opportunities of those former and darker days with those presented ii these hrioliter (hiys; if from the contents of this vohmie the young women of our raee sliall gather a single ray of lio})e and encourage- ment wliieh will enable them to stem the tide and become women of usefnlnesf^ and (Iisti)(cffon, honored of men and blessed of God, then this barque (hook) shall have accom])lished one of the objects of its mission.

Again, there have been a great many untrue things said by a })art of the Southern press that have been against the' best interests of the race. The Northern traveler through the South has also quite often gathered informa- tion at railway stations and from other unreliable sources, which has been given to the world through a part of the Northern press, greatly to the detriment of the race. From these sources the womanliood of the race has suffered great and unmerited injustice when taken as a whole. If by reading the content,; of this volume a contradiction can be justly established and thereby we can reclaim some of the prestige we have been thus caused to lose, then another important object of this mission shall have been accomplislied. It is quite evi- dent that the world has not as yet learned to fully appreciate the extent to which minrl and cliaracfc)' have been and can l)e developed in the women of this race.

"Great statesmen govern nations,
Kings mould a people's fate;
But the unseen hand of velvet
These giants regulate.
The ponderous wheel of fortune
In woman's charms is pearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world."

If in such a short time of greatly abridged citizenship our women have accomplished so much, and if many of those heroines mentioned did develop such giant intellects during those dark days of our history, may we not be the more encouraged to make more diligent, protracted and determined efforts in this brighter age?

These glorious days that we now enjoy are made the more sacred when we remember the sacrifices, the tears, the labors, the prayers and the blood of thousands of our mothers and sisters, most of whom have gone into another world, but some of whose triumphs are herein mentioned. To acquaint the world with many of these facts, and to assist in more fully establishing that fundamental principle that under similar conditions the color of the skin nor the quality of the hair can have no bearings whatsoever upon the operations of the human mind, for we believe that in the mental world there is neither Greek nor Jew nor Gentile, neither bound nor free, neither African nor Caucasian, for God "hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth."

It has also been to the author, who has spent man years in careful observation among the masses, a pain- ful experience to see how little is known of our great women and their works. To assist in giving this infor- mation to our young people, that they may be the more proud of their ancestors and love more devotedly their race, is another part of our mission. And now, in addi- tion to the debt of gratitude he owes those who have so kindly and ably contributed articles to this book, the author is also grateful to Rev. A. (1. Davis, Mr. E. A. Johnson, Mr. George W. Williams, Mr. William Still, Mr. I. (1. Penn, Mr. E. E. Cooper, Mrs. Christine S. Smith, Mrs. F. W. Titus, Mr. James M. Trotter, Mrs. N. F. Mossell, Mr. W. H. Council and others for valuable assistance rendered by themselves and their writings. While the preparation of this book has been a very arduous task, and might be regarded a presumption, it has nevertheless been a very pleasant duty. We have desired to be just, and as far as possible we have tried to avoid exaggerations. After all, however, we are aware that the book is by no means a perfect one. There are some whose lives should be mentioned herein that are not.

Much of this seeming negligence is due to a failure of some of the parties to respond, while some others we have not been able to reach after repeated trials. When it is remembered how difficult it is to gather reliable data from all parts of this great country, as well as from Africa, we trust that there shall be no reasonable cause of offense, and that no one will have so little charity as to charge that we have been partial or narrow.

If this volume should be accepted to such an extent as to warrant it safe to issue a second edition, and should the author's life and health be preserved, he will gladly record the deeds and achievements of those noble women whose names do not appear herein. We have done the best we could under the circumstances, and therefore send this volume forth with a prayer that God may bless and use the humble effort to the good of mankind.

The position accorded tho women of a nation is a gauge of that nation's civilization. In one age or clime man's slave and beast of burden, in another his pet and plaything, the hidden adornment of a harem or the inspiration of a chivalry more or less Quixotic, it remained for our own time and country to approach most nearly a recognition of her true place and station.

"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

There need be no trite discussion of the relative superiority or inferiority of the sexes. The claim of equality need not be mistaken for an assertion of perfect likeness.

"Woman is not undeveloped man,
But diverse."

The true woman takes her place by the side of man as his companion, his co-worker, his helpmeet, his equal, but she never forgets that she is a woman and not a man. Whether in the home as wife and mother, or struggling in the ranks of business or professional life, she retains her womanly dignity and sweetness, which is at once her strength and her shield.

The nineteenth century, "woman's century," as Victor Hugo aptly terms it, marks the acme of her development, but there has been no time when her power was not felt. From the earliest period, when Eve was beguiled of the serpent and in turn tempted Adam, down through the ages when Sappho sang and Hypatia showed what genius repressed could yet accomplish, woman's influence has been potent. That influence, however, is greatly enhanced, both in the quiet walks of life, where fate and preference retain the majority, and in the more public ways, where duty calls an increasing number, by the recognition of woman's equality with man. This belief has steadily made its growth among nations in proportion as they advanced from savagery and the butchery and brutality by which it is attended. As war waned and the arts of peace prevailed, as the necessity for mere bodily strength decreased, and more attention was paid to the cultivation of mind, woman's claim for recognition grew in popular favor and esteem.

Even in this age, however, there are some who refuse to see any good in what is sometimes termed the emancipation of woman. Because many noble and lovable women have been content to abide beneath the shadow of the home-roof, and have never sought to extend their influence beyond the domestic circle, they deny the fitness of any woman's doing so, regardless of the difference in the nature and circumstances of different individuals, and even of the fact that many women have no roof-tree under which to abide. The "progressive woman" is caricatured and held up as a horror and a warning to that portion of the feminine world who might be tempted into like forbidden paths. "She is out of her sphere, she ought to be in her home, she is trying to be a man, she is losing the tender consideration and the reverence once accorded womanhood." All these things are said, and, as might be expected, are applicable to individual cases. They do not, however, portray the true type of the "progressive woman" of to-day. She is modest and womanly, with a reverence for the high and holy duties of wife and mother. She does not advocate the abandonment of any real duties near at hand for fancied ones afar off. She would not have women neglect home and husband and children to enter professional life, or to further any public cause, however worthy. She only claims the right to admission in the varied fields of employment and usefulness of those who either have no domestic ties, or, having them, are forced, despite this fact, to enter the arena of life in the struggle for bread, or those who, without a disregard of existing claims, yet have leisure and inclination for interests outside of the home.

The woman is a human being as well as a woman. It is within the range of possibility that sometimes she may be endowed with great gifts which it is fortunate for all minds if she can find opportunity to exercise. What would we not have missed had Patti never sung, Rose Bonheur never painted, or Mrs. Stowe never written? Besides, contact with the outer world, a little rubbing against other minds, an occasional directing of the energies into new channels, refreshes and invigorates the tired wife and mother and enables her to give of her best to the dear ones at home. The varions gatherings of women thronghout the land, in clubs and societies and combinations for the progress of the temperance movement and other reforms, are to be applauded, even if they accomplish no other good than this drawing away, for a time at least, of wives and mothers from the tread-mill of a routine house-life.

The fruits of woman's work are not, however, to be so limited. Organized she has advanced countless humanitarian causes, while individually she has risen to eminence in the varied fields of her choice. Will any one sneer at the life-work of Hannah More, Harriet Martineau, Caroline Herschel? Can any be found, even among those who oppose the public life of women, to do otherwise than commend the character and achievements of such women as Florence Nightingale, Frances Willard, Clara Barton and Mary Livermore?

This widening of woman's sphere of thought and action is a thing to be encouraged rather than denounced, even by those wdio reverence most highly the home-life and believe that woman finds there her truest element and highest usefulness. In the "good old days" marriage was deemed a necessity to woman, the end of her being, while only an incident, albeit an important one, in the career of man. Women shrank from the title of "old maid," and to avoid that and an aimless, purpose less existence, or to secure a home and the means of support, were tempted often into loveless, unsuitable marriages. Is it so, to the same extent, in our day? The term "old maid," even when used, is not uttered with the contempt of former times. Think of the many nobk' single women of your acquaintance who are bravely fighting the battle of life alone, winning for themselves a competency and fair renown, and at the same time doing good service for humanity. The prince has not come to them. Some have grown old in life's struggle and will go through the remainder of their years without the halo of love, without tender home ties of their own; but they will have fought a good fight, and in many cases they have given of their strength and courage to some weak wife or mother, bowed down with the burdens and responsibilities of a position too often lightly and thoughtlessly assumed. Some of these brave and earnest working women are young and blooming. For them the prince may come, he ma}' not. They are content to wait, not idly, not with folded hands and the feeling that if he come not all hope is lost and life not worth the living, but working sturdily and blithely, developing the energies of mind and body, proving themselves worthy of their womanhood and fit mates for strong and manly men. So the car of progress moves onward, rapidly in favored localities, more slowly in sections less tolerant of innovations; but always towards that perfect solution of the "woman question" so happily pictured in Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward."

What of Afro-American womanhood? What of our wives and mothers and sisters and daughters? Are they, too, included in these movements of progress, in this marvellous advance of womankind? Much have they wrought, vet much remains for future work. It is not just to rate them according to the status they occupy in comparison with Anglo-American womanhood. Not alone should be considered the height to which they have ascended, but also the depth from which they have arisen. Alas, that it must be written! Afro-American women, like Afro-American men, in this "land of the free and home of the brave," are shut out from much which is helpful to a higher development; they are pursued by a monster prejudice whose voracious appetite is appeased only when they have been reduced to abject servitude and are content to remain "hewers of wood and drawers of water." All the disabilities which affect the race in this country our women have to contend against, with the added disability of sex. These disabilities, while artificial and transitory in character, must affect our expectation and our estimate of the work hitherto accomplished. That work, while marvellous in view of the obstacles which have beset the path of Afro-American womanhood, is to be considered rather as a promise than as a fulfillment. If it sometimes fails to be impressive, like the child in whom we watch the dawning of the man, it never fails to be interesting. The sky is

"Bright with flashes which forerun
The glories of a yet unrisen sun."

What has been accomplished by our women has been despite many obstacles and discouragements. The Afro-American is no anomaly in that at one stage of his development he failed to recognize the importance of cultivating his women. All peoples, in their progress toward civilization and while yet afar off, have been in the dark on this point. Even the benefactors of the race, the philanthropists who so generously aided the cause of education among us, by their own example fostered this idea of the comparative unimportance of educating the women of the race. The mistake was in not measuring the negro by the same standard applied to other peoples. Our only educational need was thought to be that of educated ministers, and even they were educated often in theology at the expense of spelling and grammar.

For a long time the idea held sway among us that it did not "pay" to spend much time and money in schooling the girls. "They made no use of their education," was affirmed, unless, indeed, they taught for a year or two, after which they resigned to marry. So the woman who might have become the mother* of a Bacon or a Newton, or who might have blossomed into a George Eliot or a Mrs. Browning, was left with dormant intellect and unexpanded energies to grope her way in darkness, unwitting even of all she had missed.

Our poverty, too, has been, and even is, a strong force to repress ambition and to thwart the desire for a broad and liberal culture. Woman's role has ever been that of self-sacrifice. It has seemed to her right and natural that all the available funds of the family should be lavished on the son in college, even though some of it was spent in useless little extravagances, while the sisters at home received but scant culture from the village pedagogue, or none at all, spending their time, instead, bending over the wash-tub or the sewing-machine, striving by their industry to add to the comforts or to the advantages of the idolized brother in school. Gray-haired mothers, from whose youth every ray of learning was rigorously excluded, have suffered untold toil and privation in the effort to give to their children the blessings of an education. All honor to them, and to the patient, self-sacrificing wives who have struggled under the burden of the family maintenance, while the husband pursued the course in school from which he was debarred in earlier life, and which was essential to his usefulness and success in his chosen calling.

Everywhere the Afro-American woman is educated and is unopposed by any prejudice against the exercise of her talents, by reason of lack of leisure and freedom from household cares, in most cases she is hindered in mental effort and in the production of any work which might take definite shape before the world.

In view of all these facts it is surprising that we have as many women among us who have, to so considerable an extent, worked out their own salvation and that of the race. Let us not use extravagant words of commendation, lest we have left no fit terms of praise for the woman of our future who is so hopefully prophesied by the achievements of her progenitors, toiling to-day amid varied disavantages; but let us chronicle their deeds in fitting phrase that those who come after may 1)0 inspired by the record of what has been wrought to make the most of their more liberal opportunities, and so hasten the time when our work may be criticised as that of human beings, and neither as that of colored women nor as that of women.

The day is coming when we shall not

"Be satisfied with praise
Which men give women when they judge a book—
Not as mere work, but as mere woman's work,
Expressing the comparative respect
which means the absolute scorn."

Even now we have some among us for whom it is not meet to intimate an apology, women whose work speaks for itself and has neither sex nor complexion.

It is necessary only to mention Edmonia Lewis, in whose veins courses the blood of the despised race, and whose genius and triumphant career are universally conceded, to instance the possibilities of Afro-American womanhood. Many others there are, also, whose successes in educational, professional, industrial and literary pursuits have been chronicled by our author, and still others, no doubt, whose achievements, though equally praiseworthy, have been unintentionally omitted. It is most fitting that one whose early struggles for education and a higher development were nobly supplemented by the self-sacrificing efforts of a loving mother should himself become the champion of that mother's sex, and especially of the numbers just entering the light studiously shut out from her longing eyes.

Such a son of such a mother is Lawson Andrew Scruggs, born in Bedford county, Virginia, January 15, XVIII INTRODUCTION. 1857, of slave parentage. Like many another of our able and successful men his early educational advantages were extremely limited. When he reached the age of twenty years he could do scarcely more than read and write. Even this scant knowledge was gained under great difficulties. His days were usually spent in ardu- ous labor on the farm. At night, when not too worn-out from physical toil, he would pore over his books by a torch-light fire. When the weather did not admit of work on the farm he was allowed the privilege of attend- ing the common school, if the one in his neighborhood chanced to be in session. Probably the Avhole time spent in school in this manner did not aggregate eight months in as many years. After leaving the farm he was employed as a laborer on the telegraph lines in the South. He still tried to pursue his studies, though now without any assistance whatever, even learning a little of English grammar by carrying a page or two in his pocket and committing it at odd moments. It was while on a telegraph inspecting tour that, in company with some fellovMvorkmen, he vis- ited the Richmond Institute, at Richmond, Virginia, one of the Baptist ELome Mission Society schools. He was at once impressed with the desirability of "going to college," mostly on account of the name and prestige it would give him among his youthful companions in the old home neighborhood. Inflated with a " little learning, " he had no true conception either of what he knew or of what he lacked of knowing. Despite his scanty schooling he was already acknowdedged the brightest INTRODUCTION. XIX lad ill the country round about, and by common consent was accorded the honor of letter-writer for all his love- lorn mates. In October, 1877, he entered the Richmond Institute with the intention of staying one session. He stayed five, though unable to complete any session but the last. It was in this institution that the writer became acquainted with him, and then began that friendship which, unlike many school intimacies, has stood the test of time. Young Scruggs was quite a favorite with both profess- ors and fellow-pupils. He was live, earnest and genial, a hard-working and conscientious student, and a merry comrade on the play-ground. In May, 1882., he was graduated, taking the school prize in oratory and deliv- ering the salutatory of his class. His views of what he knew had changed somewhat since the days when he wrote love-letters for the youth- ful swains of Bedford county. In the fall of 1882 he entered Shaw University, at Raleigh, North Carolina. Here he pursued, at the same time, the literary and the medical courses, being graduated in 1886 and 1887 respectively from the literary and medical departments. In each case he was the valedictorian of his class, and he was, in addition, the recipient of the prize in surgery from the medical department, having previously taken a prize in anatomy. He was at once appointed resident physician and instructor in hygiene and physiology at Shaw University and resident physician at Leonard Hospital. After having served acceptably in these capaci- ties for four years he resigned to give himself more completely to private practice, which, during this interim, XX INTRODUCTION. had engaged his hours of leisure. He has since accepted the position of A'^isiting Physician and Lecturer on Physi- ology and Hygiene at St. Augustine Normal and Colle- giate Institute, which position he now holds. It is a noteworthy fact that Dr. Scruggs was the first colored man to hold these appointments in either Shaw University or St. Augustine Institute. He has also the distinction of having organized the Medical Association among the Afro-American ph3^sicians of North Carolina. As an earnest and effective race worker he has won a high reputation. For five years he has been the regular North Carolina correspondent of the National Baptist, of Philadelphia, a paper having probably the largest circu- lation of any Baptist organ in the country His letters deal mainly with race interests, and he never fails to pre- sent the negro's case in equity. One communication of especial importance is a reply to Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, who had published in the North Americaii Review an arraignment of the colored people of the country for what he considered a lack of progress during the years of their freedom. Dr. Scruggs is a hard-working physician, but he finds time, amid the arduous duties of a most exacting profession, to keep in touch with the living issues of the day, and especially with those which concern us as AfroAmericans. Honor to all such young men among us ! May their tribe increase ! " Afro-American womanhood may be congratulated upon the entrance into the lists on her behalf of so worthy and zealous a knight as Lawson Andrew Scruggs.

Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway, Ernest,

1899–1961, American novelist and short-story writer, b. Oak Park, Ill. one of the great American writers of the 20th cent.

The son of a country doctor, Hemingway worked as a reporter for the Kansas City Star after graduating from high school in 1917. During World War I he served as an ambulance driver in France and in the Italian infantry and was wounded just before his 19th birthday. Later, while working in Paris as a correspondent for the Toronto Star, he became involved with the expatriate literary and artistic circle surrounding Gertrude SteinStein, Gertrude,

. During the Spanish Civil War, Hemingway served as a correspondent on the loyalist side. He fought in World War II and then settled in Cuba in 1945. In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. After his expulsion from Cuba by the Castro regime, he moved to Idaho. He was increasingly plagued by ill health and mental problems (he was bipolar and a heavy drinker), and in July, 1961, he committed suicide by shooting himself.

Hemingway's fiction usually focuses on people living essential, dangerous lives—soldiers, fishermen, athletes, bullfighters—who meet the pain and difficulty of their existence with stoic courage. His celebrated literary style, influenced by Ezra PoundPound, Ezra Loomis,

 and Gertrude Stein, is direct, terse, muscular, and often monotonous, yet particularly suited to his elemental subject matter.

Hemingway's first books, Three Stories and Ten Poems (1923), In Our Time (short stories, 1924), and The Torrents of Spring (a novel, 1926), attracted attention primarily because of his literary style. With the publication of The Sun Also Rises (1926), he was recognized as the spokesman of the "lost generation" (so called by Gertrude Stein). The novel concerns a group of psychologically bruised, disillusioned expatriates living in postwar Paris, who take psychic refuge in such immediate physical activities as eating, drinking, traveling, brawling, and lovemaking.

His next important novel, A Farewell to Arms (1929), tells of a tragic wartime love affair between an ambulance driver and an English nurse. Hemingway also published such volumes of short stories as Men without Women (1927) and Winner Take Nothing (1933), as well as The Fifth Column, a play. His First Forty-nine Stories (1938) includes such famous short stories as "The Killers," "The Undefeated," and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Hemingway's nonfiction works, Death in the Afternoon (1932), about bullfighting, and Green Hills of Africa (1935), about big-game hunting, glorify virility, bravery, and the virtue of a primal challenge to life.

From his experience in the Spanish Civil War came Hemingway's great novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), which, in detailing an incident in the war, argues for human brotherhood. His novella The Old Man and the Sea (1952) celebrates the indomitable courage of an aged Cuban fisherman. Among Hemingway's other works are the novels To Have and Have Not (1937) and Across the River and into the Trees (1950); he also edited an anthology of stories, Men at War (1942). Posthumous publications include A Moveable Feast (1964, restored ed. 2009), a memoir of Paris in the 1920s; the novels Islands in the Stream (1970) and True at First Light (1999), a safari saga begun in 1954 and edited by his son Patrick; and The Nick Adams Stories (1972), a collection that includes previously unpublished pieces.

Hemingway, Ernest (Miller)

(1899–1961) writer; born in Oak Park, Ill. Son of a doctor (who would commit suicide), he never attended college but became a journalist for the Kansas City Star (1917–18). He served with the Red Cross Ambulance Corps in France (1917–18) and was wounded while accompanying the Italian army into battle. He worked as a journalist, covering the Greco-Turkish war for the Toronto Star (1920). In Chicago, he married (his first of four wives) and went back to Europe to serve as a foreign correspondent (1921–24). He made frequent trips to Spain and the Austrian Alps but for the most part was based in Paris where he fell in with the expatriate circle centered around Gertrude Stein. His first published work was Three Stories & Ten Poems (1923), followed by In Our Time (1925), consisting of 15 stories that clearly drew on his own youthful experiences; already his distinctive voice was in evidence—simple sentences, enigmatic dialogue, precise description. His first novel, Torrents of Spring (1926), was more a satire of Maxwell Anderson, but The Sun Also Rises (1926) gained him instant acclaim and seemed to capture what Stein labeled "the lost generation." Men Without Women (1927), another collection of stories, maintained his reputation, while his next novel, A Farewell to Arms (1929), advanced him to the front ranks of contemporary writers. He had returned to the U.S.A. in 1927 but would never stay long in one place, seemingly always in need of adventure—deep-sea fishing off Key West, Fla., big-game hunting in Africa. He had long been dedicated to Spanish bullfighting—his nonfictional work, Death in the Afternoon (1932), effectively introduced it to the non-Spanish world—and when the Spanish Civil War broke out, he went off to cover it (1936–38); he identified with the anti-Fascists, and his only play, The Fifth Column (1938), and one of his better novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), came out of this experience. By now he was more than a well-known writer—he had become one of the great celebrities of the century, his every word, activity, drink, and clothing style reported on in magazines such as Life. In 1940 he bought a house in Cuba that was to be a fairly regular stopover (and which Fidel Castro and the Cubans treated as a historical site). In World War II, he is said to have aided in espionage in the Caribbean under cover of deep-sea fishing; he then went to England to report on the Royal Air Force and he accompanied the Allied forces on their drive to liberate Paris. After the war, his talents as a writer seemed to have dulled, but he recaptured both popular and critical audiences with his short novel, The Old Man and the Sea (1952), and ended up with the Nobel Prize in literature in 1954. Restless and unable to complete new writing projects, he became prone to various physical ailments, mental depression, and eventually a form of paranoia; he committed suicide by shooting himself at his home in Ketchum, Idaho. A series of works, including A Moveable Feast (1964), appeared posthumously. Hemingway's terse prose style, self-promoted macho image, and stress on the search for physical challenges have all lent themselves to imitation and parody; but at their best his writing, life, and themes ensured him a role as one of the century's major literary figures.

Article of the Now

In 2013, Rebecca Sugar abandoned Adventure Time to pander to the immense cesspit of basement-dwelling feminazis plaguing Tumblr with the anime ripoff that is Steven Universe.

Steven Universe is a very anime-inspired cartoon, which shouldn't be acceptable for a Western kids show since all anime is invariably pornographic. Like Adventure Time, Steven Universe has no actual over-arcing storyline, only the illusion of one.

Cartoon Network realized that since they were airing Johnny Test and never-ending Teen Titans Go! reruns two-thirds of the day (The other one-third going to Adult Swim), they REALLY needed something new, ANYTHING new. Rebecca Sugar caught onto the fact that CN now had two brain cells to rub together and suggested a fantasy 2DEEP4U show that attempted to trick otakus into thinking that Western cartoons are any match for anime.

For all its attempts at being anime no-one ever brings up the obvious. With all his training and running around the universe fighting evil, Steven has yet to lose a pound and remains a fat minded retard that obsesses about food. In Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, the main character Kenichi actually puts on muscle through the anime. If this were the lazy work of Steven Universe, Kenichi would have remained a skinny bitch in every episode. It's called character growth. Quit trying to sell a world to fatties where fatties are capable of walking up more than 2 stairs without having to take a candy break.

The only reason anyone should watch this dog shit of a cartoon is to see how NOT to write a "deep" kids show and interact/pander to a retard fanbase.

Brazil’s frontrunner Bolsonaro accused of ‘fraud & fake news campaign’ ahead of runoff

Latest news

    Brazil’s trailing Workers Party candidate Fernando Haddad has accused the right-wing Jair Bolsonaro of organizing an illegal multi-million-dollar defamation campaign via WhatsApp ahead of next week’s runoff presidential polls.

    “We have identified a campaign of slander and defamation via WhatsApp and, given the mass of messages, we know that there was dirty money behind it, because it wasn’t registered with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal,” Haddad told a media conference in Sao Paulo, after Folha de S.Paulo newspaper uncovered a suspected election fraud.

    In its report, the Brazilian publication alleged that a group of entrepreneurs have backed a campaign to use the popular messaging app to reach out to Haddad supporters and bombard them with fake news in an effort to coerce their votes. The publication claims that it discovered contracts worth up to $3.2 million (BRL 12 Million) each for companies to spam the virtual space with false information. Quickmobile, Yacows, Crock Services, and SMS Market are just some of the entities listed in the report that allegedly have been hired by Bolsonaro’s camp to generate numbers that would later be used to send hundreds of millions of WhatsApp messages.

    Such a practice is illegal under Brazilian law and has forced Haddad’s Workers’ Party (PT) to file an official complaint with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). “We have information that 156 entrepreneurs are involved in this. People will be called to testify,” Haddad tweeted, accusing his rival of “electoral crime to gain an advantage.”

    Haddad also demanded that Bolsonaro be eliminated and that the second round of election be contested between him and Ciro Gomes (PDT), who came in third with 12.5 percent of the vote in the first round.

    Bolsonaro, who – after barely missing the required majority in the first round – is currently leading with 59 percent of voter support versus 41 percent for his rival, has deflected the allegations made against him and the Social Liberal Party (PSL) using multiple outlets.

    “The PT is not being harmed by fake news, but by TRUTH,” he wrote on Twitter, accusing the PT of stealing money from the population and plunging the country into violence and chaos. Earlier, the right-wing presidential candidate tweeted that his camp only receives“voluntary support.”

    “I can’t control it if an entrepreneur who is friendly to me is doing this. I know it’s against the law. But I can’t control it, I have no way of knowing about it and taking measures [to stop it],” Bolsonaro told O Antagonista website.

    Later in the day, the 63-year old Congressman campaigning for anti-corruption used Facebook Live to once again deny the campaign fraud allegations, claiming he never solicited any financial contributions.

    Amid the electoral scandal, the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL) asked the TSE to temporarily restrict WhatsApp messaging for 120 million user accounts in Brazil, in order to combat the spread of ‘fake news.’

    WhatsApp, meanwhile, told Reuters that they are looking into the allegations. “WhatsApp has proactively banned hundreds of thousands of accounts during the Brazilian election period.”

End Credits Show Notes for Thursday October 12, 2017

This week’s panel on End Credits has seen things you people wouldn’t believe… We have not seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, and we haven’t watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate, but we did watch Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 back-to-back. We’ll look at the lessons we learned from what is arguably Ridley Scott’s greatest film, and how they apply to Denis Villeneuve’s audacious follow-up that dares to go where no filmmaker has gone before. Or is that another franchise?

This Thursday, October 12, at 10 am, Adam A. Donaldson with Candice Lepage will discuss:

1) Blade Re-Runner. Before diving into this week’s review, it behooves us to revisit not just the film that formed the basis for a sequel 35 years later, but a film that ended up inspiring science fiction film, TV, books, and games for over three decades and counting. Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, then hot off his dual franchise roles in Star Wars and Indiana JonesBlade Runner was a complex and daring film vision, one that’s been dissected and recycled by many filmmakers both great and no-so great over the years. We’ll revisit the original Blade Runner, discuss its enduring appeal, and how its themes that still fuel dreams of electric sheep.

REVIEW: Blade Runner 2049 (2017). With this film, Denis Villeneuve dared to lasso a sacred cow and managed to find himself equal to the enterprise. The director of Arrival and Sicario teams up with fellow Canadian Ryan Gosling to pick up the story of Blade Runner set 30 years after the original, and they dared to not just match the cult classic, but surpass it. Bolstered by a great cast, including the returning Harrison Ford, and featuring the fantastic visuals of cinematographer Roger Deakins, 2049 is easily the best-looking movie of the year, but will it stand the test of time along side Scott’s Blade Runner? Time, and this week’s show, will tell.

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Thursday at 10 am.

Vestas to grow its market share in Germany

New wind turbine installations in Q3 this year hit a five-year low in the manufacturer's second-most important market. Nonetheless, Vestas' CEO is confident about growing market share – and so far figures are supporting his forecast.

Danish wind supplier makes record profit

Kohli keeps alive Indian hopes of gatecrashing England’s 1000th test

Captain Virat Kohli unbeaten 43 as he steered the course for India to 110/5, at the end of third day’s play, in England’s 1000th test

BIRMINGHAM: Indian Captain Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 43 as he steered India to 110 for five at the end of the third day on Friday, leaving the visitors needing another 84 runs to win the gripping first test against England.

With 35 wickets having tumbled inside three days, England will be hoping they can grab the five remaining Indian wickets quickly on day four so that they can mark their 1000th test with a victory.

England’s bowlers made the most of the new ball in slightly overcast conditions by reducing the visitors to 78-5 in a fierce spell of swing bowling after the tea break.

With the exception of Kohli, none of the Indian top order batsmen looked at ease against the bowlers with Stuart Broad the pick of the attack with two wickets.

Earlier, all rounder Sam Curran followed up his first innings haul of four wickets by scoring a solid half century to guide England to 180 all out in their second innings.

The Indian bowlers ripped out the heart of the English batting line-up by reducing the hosts to 87-7 before Curran came to the rescue by scoring 63 off 65 deliveries, including nine boundaries and two sixes. He was last man out to leave India to chase down a 194-run victory target at Edgbaston.

India will be hoping Kohli, who scored a brilliant 149 on Thursday, can produce another heroic performance as they will need to pull off their highest fourth innings chase in England if they want to take a 1-0 lead in the five match series.

Editor's note: Some chemicals in this database contain more information than others due to the original reason this information was collected and how the compilation was accomplished.

While working with material safety data sheets (MSDS), I found that manufacturers sometimes used obscure names for constituent chemicals and I didn't always have a good idea of what I was dealing with. To resolve this problem, over the years, I compiled chemical names and identifiers into a personal database, cross referencing regulatory and health safety information when possible. Colleagues and friends eventually started suggesting that I make my data available on this website so that others could benefit from my efforts -- which I finally did in 2004. The more common, regulated and/or hazardous a chemical is, the more information I will have likely collected it.

If you are aware of any synonyms listed above that are registered trademarks, please contact us with relevant information so that trademarks can be appropriately noted.

Notes about mixtures

Some chemicals listed in this database or not pure chemical compounds, rather they are mixtures/solutions of chemicals. It is not uncommon for wide range of molar ratios of a mixture to be lumped together as "synonyms" of the same "chemical". In some instances chemicals that are very similar from a health & safety and/or regulatory standpoint also may have been lumped together.

Reference Sources

Data for this database was compiled from: hundreds of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of common industrial and household products; the Hazardous Materials Table from the United States "Code of Federal Regulations" title 49 section 172.101; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards; the US DOT 1996, 2000 & 2004 Emergency Response Guidebooks; U.S. National Library of Medicine and many other related resources.

Teen Pregnancy: Impact on the Scools. First Edition.
Weiner, Roberta, Ed.
This special report on the impact of teenage pregnancy on the schools is designed to help school administrators set up or revise teenage pregnancy or parenting programs in their schools. The first chapter analyzes a survey of over 700 school administrators on their attitudes toward the teenage pregnancy problem as pregnant teenagers move into the mainstream of society. The second chapter discusses the school's role in pregnancy prevention, including sex education, life planning, and school-based clinics. The third chapter discusses helping pregnant and parenting teenagers in the schools. Over one-third of the report is devoted to five case studies of successful school-based programs. These programs include a sex education and counseling program, a mini school and continuing education program for pregnant teenagers, an adolescent parenting program, a junior high decision making curriculum program, and a teenage theater program designed to help high school students make responsible decisions about sexuality and other issues. Each case study includes a program summary and list of contact persons. Appendices include a bibliography and a list of organizations which provide information to school districts. (ABL)

During the early 2000s, mortgage market innovation together with home price appreciation increased the scope for mortgage equity withdrawal. From a macroeconomic perspective, this proved to be an important transmission mechanism for the wealth (particularly collateral) effects of housing. Microeconomic accounts of equity borrowing are less well developed, since standard models of savings and consumption rarely take housing wealth into account. This paper, however, builds on a small but growing literature assigning a precautionary savings role to consumption from housing wealth. The analysis uses panel data sourced from Britain and Australia to model households’ motivations for equity borrowing. Key among these motivations are pressing, uninsurable, ostensibly short-term, spending needs. In these contexts, it is proposed that equity borrowing assumes a welfare-switching role, substituting privately owned housing wealth for collectively funded safety-nets.

Oral-History:Fred Vogel

About Fred Vogel

Fred Vogel was born in Bangor, Maine in 1893. He graduated from MIT in 1915. During WWI he served both as a trial crew member on a Navy submarine and a ship inspector. After the war, Vogel joined the Westinghouse Company's Electrical Testing Laboratories, where his work in transformer design initially focused on research and development of insulation materials. Vogel was also a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

In the interview, Vogel offers an overview of some of the early developments in transformer design. He discusses obstacles to design caused by lack of research on transient voltages and switching in the early 1920s. Much of the interview focuses on test programs, especially dialectric tests and the eventual establishment of impulse tests and standard values.

Vogel describe the problems of transformer design in the 1930s, including difficulties encountered with cores and end frames. He summarizes the improvements in arrestor performance, which led to the capability of establishing the levels of switching surges.

Early Transformers

Van Tassel:

Fred Vogel has been with Westinghouse and Allys Chalmers. He is a designer of transformers and was a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

In 1919, the fundamentals of the electrical circuit for transformers were well known, and formulas for the resistance losses, reactance, regulation and other electrical characteristics had been derived and were in common use. The design, however, covers many other things because the properties of materials, the choice of materials, and the mechanical design are all factors. In comparison to today, several observations as to the progress and the art of transformer construction seem pertinent. The early transformers were of a dry type and if used outdoors were placed in a case. The materials were varnished papers, cloths, and mica. The only tests were for temperature rise, losses, resistance, and dielectric. The dielectric test consisted of a double induced voltage and an applied test of double or more than line voltage, plus a constant when oil was added. In some cases the dielectric test was still applied without the oil. For both tests, the clearances used were based on volts per inch — under creepage over insulating surfaces — jump from live point in oil or air, and puncture from one live part to another through an insulating material. Insofar as I could see, they were based primarily on experience. Since the transient voltages, switching and so forth had not been researched, the test voltages themselves were based on limited experience, and the practice of giving extra insulation in some parts was common. This was based on service experience in the field. One could go on in this vein regarding the core, short circuit strength, service conditions and so forth.

Design Improvements

Vacuum Filling

In 1920 and 1921, the possible increase in system voltages led to considerable research in the properties of air and oil, and in combination with solid insulation materials. The work in oil was done in tanks, where the test samples were merely set in oil and not vacuum filled. It was apparent that single tests varied very much, and a procedure to attempt to get the lowest values was instituted. A specific test program served to do this. Two programs however were more commonly used and they were: successive one-minute holes raising the voltage in ten percent steps, or using three- to five-minute holes with rest between tests. It was found that curves could be drawn from the data so obtained and reasonable laws applied so that the data could be used in design. This took place in the early 1930s and was reported in the literature around 1938. Some of the early deviations were found to be due to the presence of air bubbles, which were completely displaced by low-voltage seasoning. However, it was long after that before it was found that vacuum filling decreased the variations in tests. The strength between parts of windings was a mystery. In the period around 1915, the voltage distribution within windings was derived and an equivalent Fourier series calculated. That showed how a surge or steep fronted wave distributed itself within the winding and the oscillations that resulted. In the late 1920s, the effect of lightning in causing equipment failures became of great concern. At the same time, the cold cathode oscilloscope became available. It took ten or more years for the early mathematics, of 1915, on voltage distribution to become useful. The initial voltage distribution and the oscillations could then be seen with the oscilloscope and calculated with empirical inductance inductive values added.

But what was of greater importance, the impulse strength of various dielectric fields could be determined, and this took place in the early 1930s. It also led to the establishment of impulse tests and standard values, which endured for many years. However, although the sample tests showed practical ratios between low frequency and impulse voltages, the failure rate was still too high. The use of vacuum filling in apparatus eliminated gas pockets and bubbles and increased the dielectric strength, and became common practice. It also marked the decrease in the use of treated materials in most vanished or resin-impregnated materials and oil-immersed equipment. This did not come easily as it increased the cost of tanks, and it was only later that the reduction in cost of the material and the cores and coil assemblies compensated for it in cost reliability and margin of safety.

Introduction of Cold-Rolled Steel and Changes in Core Construction

In the thirties also, the use of cold- rolled steel led to an increase in flux density, which was from thirteen or fourteen thousand gauss to sixteen five hundred or seventeen thousand gauss. The results of this reduced core weight and the insulation clearances due to vacuum filling led to marked changes in the ratings of transformers versus their size and weight, and incidentally cost. The change in construction of the core from butt and lap to mitre or to wound cores for smaller units was necessary to obtain the full properties of the material.

Impulse Strength and Switching Surges

The transformer is a part of the system. The effect the system has on the transformer can be illustrated by the following comments. Transformers are subject to short-circuit, and very early it was considered in the design. A rather crude calculation was devised and design changes made. The service records then became satisfactory, and the systems did not deliver currents sufficient to make short-circuit failures a serious consideration. Very few tests were made to see whether the design short-circuit strength was met. Those that were made on distribution transformers. In the late 1960s, power systems became stiffer and tests had been devised to cover intermediate sizes, but they are still not commonly applied. Lightning arresters and breakers have been improved. The original transformer designs, tested for impulse strength, were based on system trenches as limited by the line insulation or by air gaps. Arrestor improvements led to the belief that the impulse strength could be based on arrestor performance. Also arrestors limited switching surges, as also did the changes in breaker designs. Hence, switching surge levels could also be established. This change is now in progress since the test procedures and test values are being changed. In the mid fifties, the possibility was noted that reduction in low-frequency tests and impulse tests might result in units that would fail in normal frequency and service. Indeed this happened.

IRV and Corona Tests

This either led to IRV tests or a corona test. This is still controversial. A more basic method, proposed fifteen years ago, has not been analyzed as it should be, and probably will be. Stray losses were not a serious condition in the early days except when it resulted in cover or tank heating. Imperial rules, alloy flanges, and aluminum shields or tank inserts corrected the troubles. In the late 1930s, core troubles and later end-frame troubles appeared, and some designers studied the earlier literature and found out that stray losses in metal could be calculated, checked, and then in general the trouble could be corrected. However, it is possible to forget or overlook possibilities, and service failures have occurred and probably still will. The same applies to switching surges, where present tests may not be sufficient or where the use of shielding to meet impulse tests and produce clearances may not be adequate. This latter can be a cause of corona, a loss or a local occurrence that can cause trouble. This subject gives some idea as to future changes and standards and tests, and how sophisticated transformer manufactures has become.

Effect of Load Cycle and Materials on Life of Transformer

Play (016 - vogel - clip 1.mp3)

The life of transformers is affected by the load cycle and the materials. It was found in the 1930s that paper and oil had better characteristics than varnished ones, and there were many investigations made. The early 55 degree rise, which is the basis of rating, was for dry-type insulation and not too firmly grounded. The aging process was a function of temperature, oxygen, water, and other miscellaneous materials present. Around 1925 the use of nitrogen above the oil level, then sealed tanks for smaller units, and later a diaphragm between the oil and air in the conservator, or tank, prevented oxidation. The use of fuel resonance materials reduced the number of chemical reactions. The result was that a law of deterioration versus time and temperature could be established based on material laboratory tests, but has not been completely tested on assemblies accept for distribution transformers. The rules are, however, applied to even the large transformers. A guide for loading to give recommended values for emergency loads, some cyclic loads, and the procedure for other loads was recently approved by the Power Engineering Society. But as systems change and typical loads vary, there are always new things to take into consideration. As a further comment, it is to be noted that as with all material things, they may be arranged in various and different ways. These different design practices may accentuate one weakness and may eliminate others, and they are all different. Tests to cover all of these possibilities may be a very desirable objective to purchasers but may result in prohibitive time and expense to the builder and to the industry. It is to be presumed that this subject always will be a live one.

Family Background and Education

Van Tassel:

Could we have a little of your background, when you were born and so forth?

I was born in Bangor, Maine in 1893, and I moved to Cambridge in Massachusetts eventually, where I went to MIT and graduated in 1915. I worked for the Navy department as a ship inspector for submarines and in a trial crew in the first World War. Later I worked for the Westinghouse Company, starting in 1919. I forget how long it was that I worked for the Electrical Testing Laboratories. I knew Mr. F.M. Farmer, who was one of the early lights of the IEEE in 1916. In the Westinghouse Company I was interested in the insulation work largely because it was a thing that was in the development stage. It wasn't electrical, primarily, it was mechanical, chemical, and manufacturing and of course the insulation development work itself what you would call Physics.

Install a full development environment for Django on Windows

03 Jan 2011

I recently installed a full development environment for Django on Windows 7 and found that it took longer than expected. The path to getting everything working together wasn’t immediately apparent. I made a few missteps along the way and hopefully this post will make it a bit easier for the next developer.

The tools that I installed are:

  1. Python 2.7
  2. pip 0.8.2
  3. Postgres 9.0
  4. Django 1.3 Beta 1
  5. Intellij IDEA 10

Just go to the Python download page and pick the version for you. I installed Python to C:\dev\tools\python27. Then I added C:\dev\tools\python27\Scripts and C:\dev\tools\python27 to my system PATH environment variable.

To me it appears as though packaging in Python is in a painful disarray/flux. As far as I can tell pip is the way to go for Python 2.x. After reading What’s the proper way to install pip, virtualenv, and distribute for Python? I did the following to get pip installed.

  1. Download http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py to C:\dev\temp
  2. Ran command: cd C:\dev\temp
  3. Ran command: python distribute_setup.py
  4. Ran command: easy_install pip

Now that pip is installed we can:

  1. Install packages: pip install SomePackage
  2. Uninstall packages: pip uninstall SomePackage
  3. Upgrade packages: pip install –upgrade SomePackage Plus a whole lot more. For me, the above is already enough to choose pip over easy_install.

Go to the Postgres download page and install it.

Now you’ll need a python-postgres database interface library. For this we’ll use psycopg. Go to the win-psycopg download page and pick the version that most closely matches your Windows/Python/Postgres versions.

Note that when you start a Django project you’ll want to use django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2 for your database ENGINE value in your settings.py.

I wanted to take the latest beta release of Django for a spin so I didn’t install it via pip. However, when Django 1.3 is released on January 31, 2011 I’ll definitely be installing it with pip. Instead I more or less followed the Quick install guide for Installing an official release:

  1. Went to the Django download page and grabbed the latest tar.gz
  2. Extracted it to C:\dev\temp with 7-Zip
  3. Ran command: cd C:\dev\temp\Django-NNN
  4. Ran command: python setup.py install

After that’s done you’ll want to verify your install and try the tutorial.

While going through the tutorial I found that django-admin.py startproject mysite [was] not working well on windows 7. That’s already been reported to the django project, see http://bugs.python.org/issue7936. Here’s a solution:

  1. Open regedit
  2. Find python.exe (for instance, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command)
  3. Change “C:\dev\tools\python27\python.exe” “%1” to “C:\dev\tools\python27\python.exe” “%1” %*

I also stumbled onto a bug in Django on Windows, Cannot load admin interface static files when doing tutorial. Painful but something that should be fixed in the next beta release.

Intellij IDEA

Intellij IDEA has great support for Python and Django development. If you’re strictly doing Python development you could just download PyCharm. However, I already had IDEA 10 already installed so I just added the Python plugin (essentially PyCharm) from File > Settings > Plugins.

To get IDEA working with an existing Django project (for instance, the Django tutorial) you have to jump through a few hoops. I followed the instructions from Using Intellij for Django Development.

It’s a lot to do and a lot to configure but in the end it’s worth it. Python/Django development is fast, effective and the end result can be some easily maintainable code.

Young writers celebrated in Mayor’s Writing Competition

Young writers celebrated in Mayor’s Writing Competition (3rd August 2018)

Moruya High School student Bonnie Rouch has picked up the major prize in this year’s Mayor’s Writing Competition. The finalists for the competition were celebrated at a special morning tea at the Eurobodalla Shire Council Chambers on Thursday.

Bonnie was the winning finalist in the 13-15 age category and also picked up the Syd Hayes Creative Writing Award for her thoughtful story told from the perspective of a turtle, who gets caught in a plastic bag. She received a beautiful pen handcrafted from local coastal wood by Richard Turley and her name features on the award’s perpetual trophy, which now moves to its new home at Moruya High School.

The Mayor’s Writing Competition, in its 10th year this year, was initiated by former Mayor, the late Fergus Thomson OAM to encourage and celebrate the literary talents of Eurobodalla children and young adults. On Thursday Mayor Liz Innes congratulated all the finalists, who were chosen from more than 200 entries across five age groups. “To become a finalist is a huge achievement and I would like to congratulate all of the finalists here today – well done,” she said. “This is an important competition that allows children and young adults the freedom and confidence to creatively express themselves through writing stories. “We are looking forward to the competition continuing to grow and offering an opportunity for the children in the shire to exercise their creative literary talents.”

Entries were judged on creativity and their ability to captivate the reader. The judges noted the stories were entertaining, imaginative, insightful and thoughtful. Rosie Toth, from the Eurobodalla Writers Group, told the students writing was like a sport in which “we need to train by practising”. “Writing isn’t always easy… the reward is there when it all comes together,” she said. “Who doesn’t love a good story? All the cultures in the world have great stories. They allow us to use our imagination, but also to explore ideas about ourselves and the world around us.”

Each winner and runner-up received a certificate and book voucher. All finalists received a professionally-bound anthology that includes their own story and illustrations.
