Get taste of 'Dhaba by Claridges' at south Delhi mall
Dhaba by Claridges, a popular eatery in the heart of the capital city, has now also opened its doors at a south Delhi mall.
Twenty-nine years after serving food aficianados with north Indian delicacies, the hotel has brought the unique dining experience outside the fold at DLF Place in Saket here.
The new outlet, which was launched Thursday, caters to youngsters, who don't frequent five-star hotels and prefer to hang out at more casual haunts that provide great food at a good price.
"We are very excited to take this brand out of the hotel in the restaurant format. We are sure that Dhaba by Claridges will go places with this new venture," said chef Ravi Saxena.
"The new version of Dhaba at Saket will also especially cater to the walk-in customer who prefers to have light meals on the go between the 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. time slot with a lip-smacking line of snacks and savouries," he added.
Dhaba by Claridges has been one of the iconic landmark of the city's food scene since its inception in 1984. The idea behind the restaurant was to recreate the quintessential Dhaba experience in a five-star setting.
"Unlike any other north Indian eatery which is normally very traditional in ambience and service, Dhaba by Claridges brings in a fusion of delicacies tinged with an authentic flavour, colourful server garbs combined with a cool and contemporary decor to create modern epicurean delight," said Vineet Kochar, operational head, Dhaba by Claridges.
Complete with a truck mural, rustic interiors and servers dressed in traditional Punjabi costumes, the place oozes a special rustic feel. The wooden tables and chairs upholstered in vibrant traditional Phulkari work, natural flooring, thatched ceiling and traditional lanterns includes some of the interior highlights.
The place is ideal for desi food lovers who want to dig into scrumptious and authentically prepared north Indian cuisine, while old Bollywood melodies play in the background on a radio set.
The menu of the place is divided into three parts - tawa, tandoor and patila.
Foodies can pick from dishes like Kanastari baingan (Baingan ka Bharta served in a copper canister), Dhaba Chilli Chicken, Golgappe ki Chaat, Vada Pav, Keema Pav and Pav Bhaji.
The beverage menu comprises favourites like Kulhar Lassi, Aam Panna, Jal Jeera and Mango Lassi.

For fun, I decided to post a parodic adaptation of Dr. James McCaffrey's terrific article on What Makes A Good Software Tester? Hope you like it.
1. No Passion for Analysis and Testing: The key to being a horrible software tester is to truly hate what you do. A horrible software tester will generally get more satisfaction from playing Plants vs. Zombies than from any sort of testing related activity. This characteristic is often associated with people who don't have a college degree in a quantitative field such as mathematics, economics or computer science. To a large extent, this disdain for analysis seems to be an innate, rather than acquired, characteristic. They could prove this with numbers, but whatever.
2. Lack of Technical Skill: A horrible software tester must not understand the code they are working with. They probably can't even spell HTML. Technical skills can be acquired through education and experience – two things a horrible tester will avoid at any cost. On a scale of 1 to 10, a horrible tester must have a score of at least 0.012 in terms of development skills.
3. Limited Cranial Capacity: A horrible software tester must be dumb – really dumb. Like finger-in-a-light-socket dumb. Software development is essentially an exercise in logic, and to operate at a base level in this environment, a software tester simply has to be exceptionally limited in his or her mental capacity.
4. No Ability to Prioritize and Organize: A horrible software must have an extremely short attention…Look at that! A blue car! Software development and testing is a highly dynamic and fluid activity; the key variables can change weekly or even daily. There's no need for a horrible software tester to recognize, interpret or organize around these frequently changing job environment factors.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaCyte, Inc., a leading regenerative medicine company focused on developing new approaches to treat major diseases through the application of a stem cell-derived cell therapy, announced today that the Company was granted 20 patents worldwide in 2012, eight U.S. and twelve foreign. These patents bolster the Company's already strong proprietary position for its ground-breaking diabetes product, VC-01, as well as other applications of its broad technology platform.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121026/LA00871LOGO-a)
VC-01 is a very promising, development-stage product that consists of pancreatic precursor cells (called PEC-01) derived from a proprietary human embryonic stem cell line and encapsulated in a proprietary, immune isolating medical device (the ENCAPTRA® device). When implanted under the skin in suitable animal models, the cells further differentiate into insulin producing and other endocrine cells that regulate blood glucose in a manner similar or identical to a normal pancreas. If VC-01 performs in humans as it has in animal studies, it could effectively cure type 1 diabetics and be an important new therapy for insulin dependent type 2 diabetics.
ViaCyte's significant intellectual property portfolio now includes over 300 issued patents and pending applications related to the growth, directed differentiation and use of human pluripotent stem cells such as human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. This portfolio includes 51 issued U.S. and foreign patents specifically directed to the Company's VC-01 product. In addition to the protection afforded by patents, the Company also relies on significant proprietary know-how to develop its product offerings.

April 7 2013
Box Score: Game 1 | Game 2
MINNEAPOLIS --No. 25 Wisconsin's emotional high following a Meghan McIntosh no-hitter quickly became an emotional low with a shutout defeat to Minnesota Sunday afternoon at Cowles Stadium.
The Badgers (28-6 overall, 6-3 Big Ten) posted a 10-0, six inning, victory in the day's first game before suffering an 8-0, five inning, loss to the Gophers (23-13, 6-3) in the series finale.
"Minnesota is a very good team and to have to face them on the road at their place, it was definitely to their advantage to have the last at bats and to get to be home team," said head coach Yvette Healy. "They did a great job all weekend. You can see why they are a Top-30 team. And they've got one of the best pitchers in the conference.
"They were impressive and we are happy that Meghan (McIntosh) could be a leader for us and get the no-hitter. It was needed in a tough time and showed a lot of leadership. We have a lot of work to do before we see Northern Iowa mid-week."
Wisconsin opened action on Sunday with a strong performance at the plate and in the circle.
After two scoreless innings, the Badgers erupted for six runs in the top of the third inning. With two outs, Mary Massei sparked the offense with a sharp base hit past third base. Stephanie Peace homered to left center field to score two runs and Whitney Massey followed with a home run over the center field fence to put UW up 3-0.
After Marissa Mersch was hit by a pitch, Shannel Blackshear and Kendall Grimm singled to load the bases for Michelle Mueller. A double by Mueller cleared the bases and gave the Badgers a 6-0 lead.
Wisconsin tacked on a run in the fifth inning on Massey's second home run of the game and posted three more in the sixth to take a 10-0 lead.
A leadoff walk allowed by McIntosh in the bottom of the inning proved to be fortuitous, as the Badgers' defense was able to record a fielder's choice and preserve the no-hitter. McIntosh finished the inning with a line out and fly out to record her second no-hitter of the season.
McIntosh pitched 6.0 innings, striking out eight and walking five. The senior lefty joins former Badger Andrea Kirchberg as the only other pitcher in school history with two no-hitters.
For all that the first game was, the second game wasn't. Minnesota wasted no time answering back to the Badgers' game one victory, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a quick 3-0 lead.
A quick second inning was followed by a big third for the Gophers. Minnesota plated five runs on five hits, forcing Cassandra Darrah out of the game. Taylor-Paige Stewart entered the game in relief for Darrah with two outs on the board.
Wisconsin rallied back in the top of the fifth, loading the bases with one out. Minnesota was able to work out of the jam, getting a force out at the plate and recording a fly out to hold on for the 8-0 win.
Darrah pitched 2.2 innings, giving up eight runs on five hits and striking out two. Stewart recorded 1.1 innings of work, allowing no runs on three hits.
After 34 games on the road, the Badgers are set to open their home season in Madison on Wednesday when they welcome Northern Iowa to Goodman Diamond. First pitch in the doubleheader is set for 3 p.m. with the second game starting at approximately 5 p.m.

What does it take to be an uber supermodel, these days? Aside from manic smizing and an inflated ego, it's important to understand what moves take ordinary modeling to extraordinary measures.
First: Have a NO friend policy, step on everyone, whatever it takes…do it. Everytime one of your peons dies, look in the mirror oh so famously and ask: Do you really want to be on top?
Second: Philanthropy, every model has a cause…saving babies in Africa, NYU scholarships that don't exist, looney girls with boyfriends that you can provide.
Third: Publicity, Publicity…Photoshop. If it ain't broke, touch it up, if it is, fix it!
Fourth: Crack, plenty of crazy crack. If you aren't smoking it, you should be. Crack. Coffee. Champagne. Cigarettes. = Model Diet
Fifth: Whore yourself into the Ivy League without an Associates, Certificate…or dare I say Bachelors. Hey! Graduate school takes less time, giving you more time to promote yourself and there are more educated people to use there.
Sixth: Find the ugliest people in the world to be on your show, as long as they don't have your beautiful resources or regimen. Ask them if they want to be you, make them compete over being you, then ephiphimise a way for only you to win and for them to fall off, forfeiting their identity, college years and likeness.
Seventh: Crash the global economy pimping Will Demps and his ungrateful Father…demanding money for fame whoring.
Eighth WONDER OF THE SUPERMODEL's WORLD: NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE ADMIT THAT ANYONE IN THE WORLD IS BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU, IF EVER IMPLIED, REFUSE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH THEM, EVER…This is the most important aspect of real UBER SUPERMODELDOM
Finally: Confront the one model who was there before you about being "Mean" to you, when in all actually, she could smell your empty, vapid, sick ass a mile away DAY ONE!
How's that for a puzzle piece?

The problem is that you can't buy anything that is made in america.. there aren't enough jobs... tax rates aren't going to change that... blame whoever you want (I know liberals and conservatives will find excuses to blame the other) but nothing will change as long as half of every tax dollar is spent on war (blowing up middle eastern countries and rebuilding them) and everything we consume is made in Asia
I agree with you that the flooding of our markets with foreign goods is a problem. Unfortunately, it is a problem because: (1) we buy those goods rather than focusing on American made goods; (2) our politicians, but especially Democrats, feel that our domestic businesses need to be regulated by federal bureaucrats and need to pay higher taxes to take care of the folks that don't contribute; and (3) politicians, but especially President Obama, thinks that borrowing from China to pay for his social welfare programs is a good idea. If you check out the spending, no matter what your idea of whether we need to protect ourselves from radical Islamic fundamentalists, our social welfare programs dwarf the actual spending for purely military operations.
While the use of the wording "purely military operations" is quite clever, it is fundamentally misleading - defense spending accounts for approximately 25% of the 2012 budget. Welfare spending accounts for 12%, less than half of defense spending. I know facts are inconvenient, but dancing around them with word choice is intellectually dishonest. You can break down the budget yourself at http://www.usfederalbudget.us/we....
As for China, President Obama has filed seven trade complaints against them, twice the number as occurred under President Bush in the same time span. It is interesting that Republicans would blame President Obama for the failure of Acts such as the Currency Reform Fair Trade Act and the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act, both of which failed because of Republican opposition. In fact, President Obama has worked fairly successfully with the World Trade Organization to impose tariffs against China in order to level the playing field. So while the "borrowing from China" makes for a good sound bite, it doesn't change the fact that it, like the spending claim, is simply wrong.

another meaning for this utterly vile wordEdit
Is "faggot" also synonymous with "pussy"?
I don't know who signed the above (use four tildes (~) to whomever did so), but I wonder if there is a meaning for "faggot" able to be verified to mean, in essence, "a male who makes unwanted passes at other men, whether their target is a homosexual or heterosexual"? [[Briguy52748 02:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)]]
RfV sense, packet of cigarettesEdit
The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for verification.
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, though feel free to discuss its conclusions.
faggot - pack of cigarettesEdit
A pack of cigarettes? - cites please.--Williamsayers79 08:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Confusion with UK "fag" (a cigarette) perhaps? — Paul G 09:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think so, If we don't get any cites I reckon it would be a safe bet to remove this sense.--Williamsayers79 07:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- No cites, quotes, references given so I'll apply the
{{rfvResult}}to the talk page until someone finds any evidence.--Williamsayers79 13:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- No cites, quotes, references given so I'll apply the
It does mean cigarette though! How can no one find a source for that??? —This comment was unsigned.
- You mean a "fag" not a "faggot," right? --Connel MacKenzie 01:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- I believe you mean a "fag" too. I assume you are making some attempt a silly practial joke or are you serious? No cites, no inclusion I'm afraid.--Williamsayers79 11:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Faggot: Arguably the term Faggot meaning "an unpleasant woman" (circa 1591) predates the definition of a homosexual man (circa 1914) by a number of centuries.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=faggot Other evidence of this definition can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary. (Including the Oxford Modern English Dictionary 1992,1995.) Also in: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/faggot
There was an rfv on the meatball entry. This was ridiculous - it's a well known term in England. Evidence here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2698507.stm
To GatherEdit
I was just reading a translation of Montaigne's Of the Resemblance of Children to Their Fathers and he uses the term faggoting to describe "gathering": "This faggoting up of so many divers pieces is so done that I never set pen to paper...". I'm having trouble finding another source, unless Montaigne means a verb akin to the metalworking definition, but the use suggests that the noun element "bundle" is also a verb element of "to bundle". If whomever notices this can add the verb form, with the note that it is archaic. --TheGrza 19:25, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Add Irish/Scouse definition?Edit
'Faggot' is also a Irish and Scouse word meaning 'lazy person'. This is the word used in the Irish song 'Fairytale of New York' which caused controversy a few years ago due to British radio stations censoring it, believing it was using the American pejorative meaning. PabloDiablo 15:09, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- I can't find that sense. There is Irish use of the word as meaning a burdensome, worthless person (as an old woman), but not lazy. See Irish slang and [1]. Do you have any source beside the Pogues' lyrics? The lyrics make it clear that it is a term of abuse, but not much else. DCDuring TALK 11:07, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
(pejorative, US, slang) A male homosexual. Not sure about the UK, but this sense is also heavily used in Australia. Tooironic 23:45, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
I was just watching Sons of Anarchy, and Trinity asked Jax if he had a fag, and he nodded and pulled out a pack of smokes. He was in Ireland, so this could just be a British/European thing, but it is a possible meaning.Shane2008 (talk) 07:26, 2 September 2013 (UTC)Shane2008
- Yes - See fag (not faggot). SemperBlotto (talk) 07:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Wolfgang Puck lights up dinner
When Stars Collide: Linda & Jim Malone
Dressed as an alien in blue cellophane, Diana Lozano lip-synched high octaves of a techno opera remix in the backyard of Linda and Jim Malone's house in North Naples.
And then it was time for dessert.
The 40 guests at the Malones' vintner dinner Friday night watched in awe as the surprise ending to the five courses filled their evening with flashing lights and strange celestial sights.
Lighting, for this event, was everything. The warm orange and white decor that had set the mood in the dining room changed to a purple-blue hue
that created a club-like atmosphere. It complete the dinner theme, , "When Stars Collide." (In nature, they turn blue and create a dazzling image.)
Guests arrived around 7 p.m. in the home of Linda and Jim Malone, co-chairs of this year's wine festival.
A strange calm passed over the courtyard just moments before, when Sarah Gaut started to improvise on her electric violin and a strange calm passed over the courtyard. Her white dress was embezzled by blue stars that swirled around.
Constellations and planets lit up a giant sphere in what was once a regular swimming pool but now looked like something out of The Matrix. Those entering included Elliott Singer, CEO and trustee of the Naples Children's Foundation and his wife, Retta.
Talent from Miami's Circ X walked on stilts and greeted guests, wearing white costumes lit up with blue lightning and blue moon streaks flowing from their heads. One girl bumped her head on a tall pillar in the courtyard but recovered in time to make her way to the front entrance.

Linda Malone asked her guests to dress in silver and white - something the women were more successful with than the men, said some of the guests.
"You see, I didn't want to wear a white jacket," said Bob Clifford, who along with his wife, Joan, is the Foundation's newest trustee. "But I made sure my
tie matched my pinstripe suit."
He pointed to the tie, which had round circles on it.
Retta Singer wore a white fur shawl over a silver-sequined blouse and a silver skirt.
"They were all in my closet," she said. "I just sort of Scotch-taped it together."
Ann Colgin, the festival's honored vintner, stood out in a blue dress from Vera Wang. Malone said she wanted her to wear blue to match the dinner theme.
Her "colliding" star was master chef Wolfgang Puck, who stayed busy in the kitchen down to the wire.
Each of the five courses on the menu was brought out fresh by 10 servers to the 40 guests. He and his assisting chefs worked non-stop in the Malones' kitchen, sliding the plates down in an assembly line as the entrees were garnished and adorned.
Puck and his crew started early Thursday, preparing some of his signature dishes, like smoked salmon pizza with dill creme fraiche and caviar.
"Making food is like making love," he said. "You don't start the day before."
Much like in the night sky, the stars here were seen at their best.

Distribution and abundance of the Mississippi diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin pileata) along coastal Mobile County, Alabama.
Nelson, David*,1, Borden, Joel1, Langford, Gabriel2, 1 University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL2 University of Nebraska - Lincoln, Lincoln, NE
ABSTRACT- Diamondback terrapins were sampled from April to August 2004 and from May to August 2005, along the southwestern coast of Alabama (Mobile County) from Bayou Heron to Cedar Point. Several trapping techniques were utilized: pitfall traps, modified crab traps, hoop traps, box traps, and nest depredation surveys. Terrapins were individually marked (notching marginal scutes), weighed, and measured (carapace length, carapace width, shell height, plastron length, tail length, and head width). Females were palpated for eggs; anomalies were noted (predation marks, propeller scars, barnacle and oyster fouling), and all individuals were digitally photographed. Our goal was to systematically document the abundance and distribution of terrapins in Alabama coastal waters. Only twenty-eight adults were captured (19 females, 8 males, 1 juvenile) over the two sampling seasons. Eight hatchlings were also encountered, although two were found dead. Terrapin populations appear to be sparse and isolated along coastal Alabama. The terrapin is currently listed as a "Priority One" species (highest conservation concern) by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Apparently, Alabama populations of terrapins have not recovered from excessive harvesting of the past. Further research is needed to identify current threats to terrapin populations in Alabama and to provide for the conservation of the species in its natural habitat.
Key words: Malaclemys terrapin

Hearing held on reported violations of County's Unsafe Building Ordinance
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 18 November 2009 00:00
A hearing preceded the normal business meeting of Scott County Commissioners on Monday night, November 2, involving several pieces of property alleged to have violated the county's Unsafe Building Ordinance.
The session was scheduled to allow those property owners notified of possible violations a chance to talk with Commissioners and schedule action to correct the alleged violations.
Commissioners were looking at three properties, 1887 North State Road 3, Lexington; 1276 North Boatman Road, Scottsburg; and 4027 West State Road 56, Scottsburg. A couple who owns one of the pieces of property attended the hearing. After talking with the couple, who is divorcing and is in the midst of a dispute over ownership, Commissioners told them to work out their legal problems and get the property cleaned up.
Ken McMichael, chairman of the Greater Scott County Chamber of Commerce's Agri-Business Committee, appeared before the officials to get their continued support for the Farmers' Market that operated at the Fairgrounds this past spring and summer.

Suspect in toddler's death facing possible 45- to 65-year sentence on murder charge filed in case
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:00
Jason Carl Hensley, the suspect charged in the October 28 beating death of two-year-old Jacob Matthew Lord, could be facing a prison sentence of up to 65 years if he is convicted of the charge of murder.
The 26-year-old Hensley entered a not guilty plea during his initial hearing in Scott Circuit Court on the murder charge and the Class A felony charge of battery. The murder charge, advised Scott County Prosecutor Jason Mount, carries a mandatory sentence from 45 to 65 years. The battery charge carries a probable sentence from 20 to 50 years.
Jacob, his alleged victim, died without regaining consciousness on October 28 at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky.
The toddler was taken to Scott Memorial Hospital in Scottsburg by his mother, Shawn Lord, and Hensley, described as Shawn Lord's boyfriend, some time early on the morning of October 28. The woman told Detective Brian Busick with the Indiana State Police, Sellersburg post, that she left the child in the care of Hensley around 4 p.m. on October 27 at Hensley's Austin apartment. She said when she came back to the apartment around 6 p.m., the toddler was asleep on the floor.

Three criminals receive lengthy prison sentences on November 3 in Circuit Court hearings
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:00
Three convicted people learned their fates during sentencings in separate criminal cases conducted on Tuesday, November 3, in Scott Circuit Court.
Jason D. Arbuckle, 35, Lexington, received the longest sentence. His prison stay will be 30 years for dealing in methamphetamine, a Class A felony.
Arbuckle may be remembered as the defendant who didn't show up for his own trial on that charge this past August. He was arrested and charged with the felony dealing count in June, 2006, after selling the illegal meth to a female undercover officer with the Indiana State Police. His trial was the first in Scott County held in absentia, without the defendant present. The jury quickly found that Arbuckle was guilty of the charge on August 5. He was located and arrested on August 13. A mental examination was requested by Arbuckle at the end of that month. That was done and submitted to the court in September.

Woman flees to Sheriff's Department after boyfriend's threats, actions frighten her
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:00
Six charges have been filed against a Scott County man who allegedly verbally threatened a woman after their relationship went sour.
Harold Matthew "Matt" Kemp, 36, had his initial court hearing before Judge Roger Duvall on Monday, November 2, entering a not guilty plea to Class C felony battery, Class C felony criminal confinement, two counts of Class D felony intimidation, and misdemeanor charges of aggressive driving and reckless driving.
According to the probable cause affidavit prepared by Detective Rick Barrett of the Scott County Sheriff's Department, Kemp and his estranged girlfriend were apparently arguing outside the Scott County Security Center on Thursday, October 29. They were seen by a jail employee, who reported the incident to Det. Barrett. As the detective and the employee approached the woman's car, they overheard Kemp tell the woman, "Those two won't be able to save you." He then left.

Residents around old Marysville Lake leery of religious group's campgrounds plan
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 04 November 2009 00:00
Members of the Scott County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) held an unusually long hearing on October 14 so that those concerned about a Jeffersonville-based religious group's plans for development at the old Marysville Pay Lake property could voice their opinions.
Joseph Mullen is the construction manager for Voice of God Recordings Inc., the religious group which wants to develop the area into a campground and overnight facility for its members and its youth. Mullen and Daniel Evans, Voice of God public relations officer, presented those plans before the BZA and some 20 people that evening. BZA members present included chairman Gary Green, Sandee Owens, Dale Hobbs and Don Wilkerson. Also present was Area Plan Commission Director Jamie Knowles.
The group wanted a Conditional Use Variance (CUV) to allow the development of a Christian retreat at the lake, located on South Pleasant Ridge Road in Lexington Township. Mullen said Voice of God is a missionary group which operates worldwide to enrich people with the Christian experience as well as provide counseling and guidance. Voice of God is also in the recording and publishing business. The group's website offers more information on the business and church activities.

It's not easy for a woman to get an abortion in South Dakota. There is only one abortion clinic in the state. As of Tuesday, it got even more difficult. Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed a bill requiring women seeking an abortion to wait three days after meeting with a doctor and receive counseling before undergoing the procedure, news agencies reported. The measure brought condemnation from abortion rights groups. CBS News.com said that the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of South Dakota and Planned Parenthood Federation of America announced Tuesday they plan to file a legal chal...

existence. They had no need of permanent settlements, and establishing fixed communities would have simply added to the hardships they already faced. Unless large areas were continually hunted, and unless a combination of luck and experience put them in the path of migrating animals, there was little chance of survival. It was the white-man, lacking the skills and knowledge to follow the Inuit around, who required the establishment of permanent outposts in an effort to initiate occasional interaction with the nomadic Inuit.
Although an American, Captain Joseph Bernard, in his small gasoline-powered schooner Teddy Bear was the first white-person to trade in the area from around 1910 to 1915, and a Dane named Charles Klengenberg set up a seasonal fishing hut at the mouth of the Coppermine River around 1916, the site of present-day Kugluktuk was not permanently inhabited until the Hudson's Bay Company and Church of England arrived in 1928, followed by the Roman Catholic mission and the RCMP in 1929 and 1930 respectively. Around 1930, a rudimentary radio/weather station was set up, in 1932 the community's first doctor arrived and in 1934 a Post Office was established. During the years of the Great Depression, the Government of Canada could not afford to add to this meager infrastructure, and the doctor was lost to government cut-backs, never to return. During and after the Second World War, investment by the government of Canada started anew, with the establishment of a Nursing Station in 1948 and a Federal Day-School in 1950. A new Nursing Station, improved government housing and a diesel power-plant were all established in 1967, and a proper air-strip was completed in 1969.
There were, of course, a few native people in the early years who acted as guides and interpreters for the RCMP, the missions and the Hudson's Bay Company, fished for and tended the dogs and did other odd-jobs. Those people and their families, however, still did not live in the community year-round, preferring to spend much of their time hunting, fishing and trapping at traditional locations. It was not until the early 1950's that people began to adapt to life in the permanent settlement of Coppermine, and that trend continued until the last outposts were gradually abandoned in the 70's, 80's and 90's, despite government subsidies that attempted to maintain that traditional life-style.
It is important to note that the Hudson's Bay Company actively discouraged Inuit people from moving into communities. The HBC was in the fur-trade business – they wanted people out on the land, engaged in trapping. When the government of Canada, through their agents (primarily the RCMP), started to provide welfare to those Inuit people who came to them in need, and when that policy became entrenched and morphed into what we now call social assistance, income-support, family allowance, child-tax credit, subsidized housing, etc., many people decided to give up their nomadic life in favour of a less precarious existence in the community, where schooling and medical care was available and where dependable wage-employment later became the norm.
So there was a time, from 1928 to about 1945, when the permanent residents of Coppermine (later Kugluktuk after 1996) consisted almost entirely of white people. Indeed, if white people and their institutions had never come to this land, there would be no community of Kugluktuk today, and the population of nomadic Inuit would have remained stable at a small fraction of the current numbers, which was about all that the land (and primitive hunting methods) could support. Whether contact has been a good thing or a bad thing is, nevertheless, certainly open to debate.
Somehow, there has developed an erroneous perception that Inuit people were forced off the land and into communities. There was never any such government policy or action. There was no advantage to white people in having Inuit confined to communities - quite the contrary. Inuit themselves saw the advantages, weighed the disadvantages, and (wisely, I think) chose to give up a lifestyle which, though fraught with immense hardship, could have otherwise continued to this day.
The history of practically every community in Nunavut follows a pattern similar to that of Kugluktuk. The heritage of white people in Nunavut is dominated by the creation of permanent communities. The heritage of Inuit people, for at least 4,940 of the last 5,000 years, has been a heritage dominated by seasonal movement from place to place.
In recent decades, many people have been led astray by the sanitized, politically-correct, revisionist version of Nunavut history that has been foisted on a younger generation by the schools and the media. The very significant contributions of bush-pilots, sea captains, traders, clergy, police, nurses, teachers and other non-Inuit has been pushed well into the background, where it does not deserve to be. We now are told that the Hudson's Bay Company consisted of a bunch of mercenary carpet-baggers, when in fact both The Bay and the good, hard-working trapper prospered handsomely in the hey-day of the fur-trade and traders saved many people from starvation. Missionaries are sometimes seen as helping to destroy a culture, often by the same people who claim that their culture is now thriving - despite the continued presence of the churches. The fact is that the missionaries did far more good than harm. The police are accused of bringing north a "foreign" system of justice, when the undeniable fact is that the British common-law system, while flawed, is still the most enlightened form of justice that human kind has managed to come up with in the last 50,000 years. If there's a better way, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
Not surprisingly, historical revisionists tend to spare the present-day "southern" teachers, nurses, police, administrators, government employees and business people from their wrath. They will leave that reprehensible chore to the next generation of revisionists, and our children and grandchildren will probably fall for their lies, distortions, omissions and half-truths as the current generation has seemed willing to do.

I should add that bush-pilots Boffa and May were not residents of Coppermine. Wop May had retired from flying by the time this picture was taken, while Ernie Boffa was a frequent visitor and continued to fly into the 1960's. Missing from the photo are Reverend Webster and his wife Edie, HBC manager Leo Manning, his wife Mary and daughters Maureen and Rosemary, Fathers Lapointe and Delalande, Walt Taylor of DOT and Jack Scarlett of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. 1948 was the year that the first nursing station was built, so the missionaries were still doing basic medical and dental work, mostly for Inuit people. The nurse, Anne Dufresne arrived a few months after this photo was taken.

Jonathan Agnew celebrates Paul Collingwood's Test career and looks ahead optimistically to the World Cup
PAUL COLLINGWOOD knew the time was right to go. On the third evening of the final Test at Sydney, with England's historic victory all but guaranteed, he paid a visit to Hugh Morris's hotel room. Morris, the team's managing director, had not necessarily been expecting Colly to call but he was not surprised either. And he made no attempt to talk Collingwood round when he said he wished to retire from Test cricket. Everyone knew the time was right.
It might have been Collingwood's natural instinct to cling on and fight for survival. After all, that is the quality he brought to the England batting line-up during his 68 Tests – gutsy, determined, good old northern grit. Very few players can genuinely claim to have made the most of every bit of their given talent but Collingwood certainly did – and a bit more besides. In an era of flatter, dry pitches and lightning fast, re-laid outfields a Test average of 40 is no longer the benchmark that it used to be. Colly's account closed at 40.56 with a workmanlike strike-rate of 46 runs per hundred balls, mostly eked out with bottom-hand jabs through the leg side and back-foot forces through cover point. He was more aggressive against spin, famously lofting Shane Warne over his head to reach his double-hundred at Adelaide in 2006 – surely the pinnacle of his career.
A battler in form is admirable. A battler out of form is ugly and Collingwood's form on this tour must have frustrated him. Only 83 runs at an average of 13.83 when all those around him were filling their boots. He was the only batsman in the team not to play above his career Test average and, had England not been winning, he would probably have been dropped before the end. By choosing to go when he did he went out on the highest possible note and without tumbling through the selectorial trapdoor come the summer.
If Colly's batting lacked glamour, this was more than compensated by his brilliant fielding, which remains undiminished. In a competition on ABC radio to select the composite team during the final Test Colly versus Mike Hussey was the only position I could find to which an Australian had a real claim over his English counterpart. The contrast in runs scored by the pair in the series was obviously not a contest – Hussey's 570 came at 63 – but the impact of Colly's fielding could not go unrecognised. He played a huge role in destabilising the Australian team with brilliant catches to dismiss Ricky Ponting cheaply in successive innings – first at Adelaide with a reflex catch low to his left off Graeme Swann and then one-handed to his right at third slip off James Anderson at Perth. They may yet prove to have sealed Ponting's fate as Australia's captain. Has a better all-round fieldsman than Paul Collingwood ever appeared for England?
These are skills that Colly will continue to take with him into the limited-overs arena, where he still has a vital role to play. Indeed, it is the task of this touring squad now to go on and prepare adequately enough in the interminable one-day series that followed the Ashes to win the World Cup on the subcontinent. It will be a colossal challenge for the team management and a test of the players' stamina to retain their drive and focus for such a long time – and explains the ECB's entirely sensible desire to separate Ashes tours and the World Cup from 2013.
"Few players have made the most of their talent but Collingwood did"
But winning the World Cup for the first time is not beyond this team. They gave the Australians an object lesson in every department of the game, all of which, with the exception of occupation of the crease, remain relevant to one-day cricket in India, where England play all but one of their qualifying matches. The new standard that England have set at both catching and ground fielding surprised even the Australians, who have led the way for the last 20 years but for no longer. England's brilliance is the result of hours of hard work and the innovative ideas and routines of Richard Halsall who, let it not be forgotten, was headhunted by Peter Moores, as was Andy Flower.
Reverse-swinging the white ball could also prove decisive on the sub-continent and again England are ahead of the rest, with the possible exception of India. Anderson was operating 'in reverse' as early as the 10th over at Melbourne as England showed there and particularly in the second innings at Sydney that, in the right hands, reverse swing can be devastating. Brimming with confidence but overseen by the measured calm of Flower, this team might give us further reason to celebrate this winter.

After three months as University Librarian, I feel as though I have always been here. Coming to grips with the complexity and tradition of the University has been a very rewarding experience. I have visited all sections of the Library and have tried to meet with as many staff members as possible.
Much of my time has been devoted to considering the future of the Library. The development of a discussion paper is well underway and will be made public in late October. It is important that the Library have a clear sense of future direction which takes into account the strategic vision of the University as well as accommodating changes in scholarly communication.
Regrettably, the Library faces a difficult financial future. This has been caused in part by circumstances beyond its control. Reductions in government funding, rising cost of publications and salary increases have combined to complicate the fiscal situation.
The Library has been fortunate in the past as it has had considerable reserves. This has permitted services to be maintain somewhat independent of declining recurrent resources. Continued reliance on reserves is not a viable financial strategy. An important aspect of future planning will include the implementation of a strategy which aligns recurrent income with recurrent activities.
This will involve reviewing all services to determine their viability, importance, cost and priority. It is clear, however, that significant reductions will need to be made in salary and collections expenditure. These changes will require careful planning and the involvement of those affected.
Ideally, the consultation process would be extensive but budget imperatives may curtail discussion on particular issues. In some instances, action may need to occur quickly to take advantage of unforseen circumstances. Generally, however, the future direction of the Library will be discussed in all appropriate forums.
My reaction so far is that there is considerable interest in, and commitment to, the future of the Library. There has been some loss of opportunity due to past slowness in addressing issues and implementing strategies. Despite this slowness, the Library has grappled with the myriad of issues which affect its operation and future.
The ultimate intent of the Library is to participate as a partner in the research, teaching and learning programs of the University. Within the University and externally, the Library will seek to be regarded as "simply the best" in the provision of collections and services which facilitate scholarship.
New Australia: The Journal of the New Australia Co-operative Settlement Association
Digital images of the newspaper "New Australia" held in the Rare Books Library are now available at the library web site at http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/rare/newoz
|This was the newspaper of the utopian socialist movement led by William Lane which left Queensland in 1894 to establish a settlement in Paraguay. Descendants of these settlers still live in the area settled. The New Australia collection consists of nineteen issues published between November 1892 and July 1894, providing information about the plans for settlement and reports from the first settlers themselves.
The newspapers are in a delicate physical state, with yellowing, crumbling paper. The text itself is often faint and occasionally obscured by supporting tape, or torn edges. It was decided that this may be a good test project for digitising library material for the purposes of both preservation and greater availability. As digital images, access to this material could be assured without the original pages suffering further damage.
In a collaborative initiative, the Fisher Library collection was ultimately supplemented by the collection held at the Mitchell Library, so the digital collection is, in fact, more comprehensive than the original collection of papers.
The problems involved in such a project concern primarily the trade off between the amount of information achieved in the initial scan on the one hand, and the problem of file size and disc space on the other. Colour scans at moderately high resolution (300 d.p.i.) of pages of this size (28cm x 36cm) can easily result in files of 30MB. It was decided to scan the pages at 300 d.p.i. as grayscale images and convert these to duotone images. File sizes in this case went from around 6-7MB to 2-3MB. Finally, the TIFF files created were compressed as TIFF Fax 4 Compression files and the resulting file sizes came down to between 300 and 400KB.
At the moment, the files are kept as compressed TIFF files so to view the images the web browser software program (such as Netscape) will need to be able to locate on the user's computer an image viewing program capable of handling such file types. The web browser itself is unable to display these images. Shareware programs such as Graphic Converter (Macintosh), or DocView (Windows) can be obtained to view or print the images to specified page size.
Contact Creagh Cole, the SETIS Coordinator, for more information on the project, or help with appropriate viewing software.

Australian Novels from the 19th Century: electronic editions of original works held in the Mitchell Library collection, now available from the University of Sydney Library web site
The Scholarly Electronic Text and Image Service has been engaged in encoding a number of Nineteenth Century Australian novels in order to make them available at the library web site for searching and browsing. Our aim has been to provide national, and, indeed, world-wide access to editions of these novels in electronic form.
The electronic editions will closely represent the original printed works, and in addition to searchable text files of each novel, will include digital images of each page. The primary benefit of this project will be the provision of wide access to these works. A further benefit, however, and one which will become more significant as the collection grows, is the ability to search within the novels for keywords or phrases.
This will allow scholars to trace the occurrence and emergence of terms and phrases over time in the development of Australian literature. The novels were identified in the ARC-funded Australian Cooperative Digitisation Project 1840-45. They are:
The Significance of the Novels
The 1840s witnessed the real beginnings of the publication of Australian fiction (only two novels had appeared earlier). The novels published from 1840-45 were largely inspired by the changed circumstances of Australian life, beginning the concentration on the description of bush life which was to be so dominant in later fiction. While access to these texts, none of which has been reprinted this century, will be particularly important for literary scholars, cultural and social historians will also find much of value in them.
Australian Cooperative Digitisation Project 1840-45
The Australian Cooperative Digitisation Project 1840-45 is an Australian Research Council funded collaboration between the University of Sydney Library (project leader), the State Library of New South Wales, the National Library of Australia and Monash University Library. The project will digitise the journals and fiction published in the period 1840-45, a seminal period in the emergence of an Australian colonial identity. This material, which is both scarce and fragile, will be freely accessible throughout Australia and the world via the Internet. In the process the project will establish technical specifications and benchmarks for future projects of this type.
Availability of the Novels
Most of the novels are now available at the SETIS web site, although as work proceeds on the remaining novels, changes are also made to the whole collection. To browse, read or search the novels currently available, the URL is http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/acdp
The collection will continue to grow, hopefully with further funding to extend the original digitisation project from the initial period 1840-45. In the meantime, other material held at the library may be added to the collection to form the basis for a significant database of publicly accessible texts in Australian literature.
For further information on the novels contact Creagh Cole, the SETIS Coordinator (ext.17408, email@example.com), or Ross Coleman, the Collection Management Librarian and coordinator of the Australian Cooperative Digitisation Project (ext. 13351; email@example.com)
Internet Training for Undergraduate Students
Fisher Library has been conducting Internet training sessions for undergraduates from mid Semester 1, 1997. The training is presented in two modules, "Introduction to the Internet" and "Searching the Internet". The two 1½ hour modules are loaded on the Web and have been designed to provide students with a basic overview of the Internet, the World Wide Web and Netscape and to provide a guide to searching the Internet using search engines, search directories and specialised search engines. Tips on creating a search strategy and in citing and evaluating Internet resources are also covered and hands-on experience and exercises are included in each module.
The modules were prepared by Philippa Crosbie and Gail Higgins from the Internet Training Team in consultation with the subject librarians in Information Services. The modules are self paced and interactive, allowing students to not only participate during the training sessions but to re-access the modules as required in their own time.
In recognition of the increasing demand from prospective employers for graduates to be conversant with the Internet and its applications and uses in their areas of expertise, all students are issued with a certificate of completion. Response to this has been positive as students welcome the opportunity to include the certificates in their resumes.
To date a total number of 38 classes have been run, which a total of 340 students have attended. Comments from participants have been appreciative, with the majority requesting longer sessions if they can be arranged.
The East Asian Collection - Recent Developments
The East Asian Collection (EAC) is an invaluable special research collection belonging to the University of Sydney. Holding over 110,000 volumes in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean vernacular, it is located on Level 7 of Fisher Library. The EAC is the third largest oriental collection in Australia, after the East Asian collections of the National Library of Australia and the Australian National University. The Library is taking advantage of technology developments to complement the print holdings in Chinese, Japanese and Korean and improve access to the books and serials.
Online Catalogue with Vernacular Chinese, Japanese and Korean Scripts
MASS (Multilingual Application Support Service) software was installed on EAC terminals to interface with the Library's new INNOPAC computer system. Library users coming to the EAC are now able to search the Library's Online Public Access Catalogue in Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) scripts and can also view the display of records in those scripts. This is a major improvement over the previous Romanised records system. Library users who search the catalogue for Chinese, Japanese or Korean materials without the special CJK software installed are limited to viewing records in Romanised scripts only.
Library users are now also offered improved access to CJK resources internationally. Workstations in the EAC can now access the Australian National Chinese, Japanese and Korean Service (ANCJKS); the world's first national union online database with CJK vernacular scripts. The ANCJKS went live in June 1996 and was a cooperative project of seven university libraries, including the University of Sydney, together with the National Library of Australia. The ANCJKS database now contains more than 750,000 bibliographic records and continues to grow with monthly updates of 12,000 records. The sources of the database include libraries from North America (Library of Congress and leading academic libraries with Chinese, Japanese and Korean collections) and Japan (the National Diet Library) in addition to Australian libraries.
Japan Foundation - Library Support Program
Under this program, the EAC was fortunate to receive a donation of a five CD-Rom set valued at approximately A$9,500. This CD-Rom set is:
- CD-ASAX 50 Years (Index to the Asahi Shinbun over the last 50 years, 1945-1995)
The Asahi Shinbun, as the leading daily newspaper in Japan, is an important source for Japanese studies and research and will greatly facilitate research in Japanese Studies at the University.
Chinese & Japanese CD-Roms
The East Asian Collection aims to build up its electronic reference database resources to complement the still important traditional reference tools in print. In addition to the CD-ASAX 50 Years, several other electronic databases which index articles in journals and newspapers are available in the East Asian Collection. These include:
- the NDL CD-ROM Line (the CD-ROM version of "Zasshi kiji sakuin" which indexes the major Japanese journals and newspapers)
- Jen min jih pao so yin 1946-1995 (The Index of People's Daily 1946-1995)
- Pao k'an tzu liao so yin 1978-1995 (The Index to Chinese newspapers and periodicals in social sciences 1978-95)
Display of Chinese Materials Held by the East Asian Collection
The China Education Centre, Faculty of Education is planning an end-of-year celebration to commemorate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Australia and China. The Library will participate with a display of Chinese materials, held by the EAC, in the showcases of the Rare Books area of the Fisher Library. The official opening will be at 6 pm, 2 December 1997 at the Rare Books display area, followed by the Anniversary Dinner at the Holme Building at 7 pm. Other displays in Fisher Library will include Paintings of Ceremonies, mounted by Ms Pamela Bell, the University Art Curator.
Fire and Safety Upgrade in Fisher Library
A major program to upgrade the levels of fire safety will begin in Fisher Library in December 1997. This will involve the installation of sprinklers in both the Undergraduate and Research Library buildings, the replacement of ceiling tiles in the Undergraduate Library and the extension of some existing fire stairs. These measures are necessary to bring the building to compliance with the latest fire and safety standards.
The program will take months to complete and will unfortunately involve some disruption to normal services. Every effort is being made to minimise this disruption and to carry out noisy activities after hours. During the period December 1997 to mid-February 1988 there will be some relocation of services and activities. Detailed information will be made available as the work progresses.
For more information contact Libby Carey on ext. 12423 or e-mail email@example.com or Kate Sexton on ext. 12991 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Pharmacy Library
During the mid-year break the Pharmacy Library was closed for renovations. The library reopened in second semester with a new service desk, improved layout, new furniture for computer access and new individual study carrels. Out of date books were withdrawn and the entire collection was reshelved into Dewey order. Although space is still tight, a small area for quiet study has been created. The project was largely funded by the Office of Facilities Planning as part of the upgrade of the Pharmacy building, with additional financial support by the Department from Alumni funds and the University Library.
