Proven technologies for a net-zero energy system already largely exist today, finds the preview of the World Energy Transitions Outlook by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Renewable power, green hydrogen and modern bioenergy will dominate the world of energy in the future.
Previewed at the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue on 16 March 2021, IRENA's Outlook proposes energy transition solutions for the narrow pathway available to contain the rise of temperature to 1.5°C and halt irreversible global warming. 90% of all decarbonisation solutions in 2050 will involve renewable energy through direct supply of low-cost power, efficiency, renewable-powered electrification in end-use as well as green hydrogen. Carbon capture and removal technologies in combination with bioenergy will deliver the 'last mile' CO2 reductions towards a net-zero energy system.
With 2030 deadlines around the corner, this Outlook comes at a critical time when acting fast and bold on global climate pledges is crucial in the decisive year of UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy and the Glasgow Climate Conference (COP26).
Francesco La Camera, General Director of IRENA said: "The window of opportunity to achieve the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal is closing fast. The recent trends show that the gap between where we are and where we should be is not decreasing but widening. We are heading in the wrong direction. The World Energy Transitions Outlook considers options of the narrow pathway we have to be in line with the 1.5°C goal. We need a drastic acceleration of energy transitions to make a meaningful turnaround. Time will be the most important variable to measure our efforts."
"While the pathway is daunting, several favourable elements can make it achievable," La Camera added. "Major economies accounting for over half of global CO2 emissions are turning carbon neutral. Global capital is moving too. We see financial markets and investors shifting capital into sustainable assets. COVID-19 has highlighted the cost of tying economies to fossil fuels and confirmed the resilience of renewable energy. As governments pump huge sums in bailouts and recovery, investment must support energy transition. It is time to act and countries can lead the way with policies for a climate-safe, prosperous and just energy system fit for the 21st century."
IRENA's 1.5°C pathway sees a trebling of global power dominated by renewables in 2050. It also sees a decline in fossil fuel use by more than 75% over the same time, with oil and coal consumption shrinking fastest. Natural gas should peak around 2025, becoming the largest remaining fossil fuel by 2050.
Financial markets reflect this shift by allocating capital away from fossil fuels and into sustainable assets such as renewables. The downgrading of fossil fuels continues, with shares of fossil fuel-heavy energy sector in S&P index falling from 13% a decade ago to below 3% today. In contrast, investors are flooding money into renewable energy stock with S&P clean energy up by 138% in 2020.
However, significant investment will have to be redirected, IRENA's Outlook shows. Major economies have announced economic stimulus packages that will pump approximately US$4.6 trillion directly into carbon-relevant sectors such as agriculture, industry, waste, energy and transport, but less than US$1.8 trillion is green.
By contrast, energy transition investment will have to increase by 30% over planned investment to a total of US$131 trillion between now and 2050, corresponding to US$4.4 trillion/yr on average. Socio-economic benefits will be massive, as investing in transition will create close to three times more jobs than fossil fuels, for each million dollars of spending. To address concerns about a fair and just transition, IRENA's Outlook calls for a holistic and consistent overall policy framework.
IRENA's 1.5°C pathway sees electricity becoming the main energy carrier in 2050 with renewable power capacity expanding more than ten-fold over the same period. Transport will see the highest growth of electrification with a 30-fold increase. Almost 70% of carbon emission reductions in transport will come from direct and indirect electrification.
Green hydrogen will emerge as one of the major demand for electricity, representing 30% of total consumption in 2050. Bioenergy combined with carbon removal technologies (BECCS) will increasingly be important for industry to bring negative emissions in the face of a limited carbon budget for 1.5°C.

There are a few items that almost everyone in a society relies on each week to accomplish even the most routine tasks and errands. Among the most common examples of these is automotive fuel. Drivers are consistently filling up with gas to stay on the road so that they can get to work, school, the supermarket, or any number of other important stops around town. For those entrepreneurs behind businesses in this industry, there are a few ways to stay up to date and current while offering customers the best experience possible.
Provide the Most Modern Features On the Market
It is important to start out any endeavor with a thorough understanding of what the current possibilities are. When looking for gas station builders in a particular community, the process requires a deep dive into which contractors and experts are best suited for the job. During the design phase, let these teams of construction crew members know what the existing vision is while being open enough to consider their input.
Provide What the Local Community Needs
Though every city, town, and neighborhood can count on having a gas station within a few minutes drive of their homes, these businesses can vary dramatically based on the desires and concerns of local residents. Perform plenty of market research in determining how many pumps to offer, which should be fitted with a diesel pump, and even what to stock on the shelves inside.
Provide a Unique Value to the Customers
With so much competition for the same general pool of drivers, it is vital for anyone in this field to set his or her business apart from the crowd.
Making any small business profitable requires commitment and a plan for the future. Keep the points outlined above in mind to ensure your gas station has the best chance for success.

Career Night at Bettye Myer Middle School
Creating New Windows for Women:
Bibliodrama at the Dallas County Jail
In the Dallas County Jail, Lew Sterrett, approximately 60 women inmates have chosen to participate in a program called Resolana, Volunteers of America-Texas. Resolana is a Spanish word for "warm wall", a gathering place where people connect and share wisdom. In the spirit of providing opportunities to connect, gain personal insight, and collective wisdom, we have traveled to the "warm wall" to explore stories together. My colleagues, Kristin Nunn, LPC, and Lori Martin, LPC-S, and I have been volunteering with Resolana since September of 2015 offering once a month Bibliodrama workshops.
Through Bibliodrama we have traveled back in time to explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of Adam and Eve, Ruth and Naomi, Mary and Joseph, Abigail, Esther, Hannah, and Mary of Magdalene. Scenes have been set from the Garden of Eden, throughout the land of Israel, to Persia and back. Roles such as new mother, grief stricken widow, and esteemed queen have all appeared in the jail classroom. Voices of those who have been rejected, forgotten, separated from loved ones, or remembered and honored have all come from places deep within the hearts and lives of the women inmates.
This powerful modality was created by Dr. Peter Pitzele in 1984. He combined his knowledge of psychodrama and Jewish tradition to explore stories from the Bible. In that synergy, Bibliodrama was born. Paul Juarez, the director of First Refuge ministries in Denton, Texas described his experience with Bibliodrama as seeing a story "become 3-D." The inmates have expressed similar impressions of Bibliodrama. Several women have reported to us that after a Bibliodrama they have gone back to read the story with new eyes. One female inmate said, "thank you for taking us out of jail for a couple of hours." Rayne Johnson, LCSW, Resolana Program Director and Lesley Mohney, Resolana Program Specialist, gathered comparable feedback from some of the women: "Bibliodrama helped make scenes memorable," "It brings the Bible to life in a fun, interactive way," Bibliodrama "enabled me to live in the moment of the characters that I've read about all my life," and "It gave me a fresh perspective and allowed me to personalize the teachings."
Jonathan Moreno wrote about the work of his father J.L Moreno, the creator of psychodrama, in his book Impromptu Man (2014). J.L. Moreno influenced inmates and staff at Sing Sing Prison in the 1930's. Moreno wondered, "How it would be possible to transform the promiscuous, unorganized prison system into a socialized community through a method of assignment of prisoners to prison groups." He then began studying and grouping inmates based on their choices and interactions. Our groups today, including Bibliodrama, are a direct result of Moreno's work in the prison and his creation of group psychotherapy. Programs such as Resolana which allow women inmates to make choices and find community within the jail system, have their roots in Moreno's ingenuity.
In Peter Pitzele's innovative book Scripture Windows: Toward a Practice of Bibliodrama (1998) he described "a window's unique ability to give us at once our own reflection in its glass and also a view of the world beyond." That is precisely what energizes and motivates us to continue creating experiences for the Resolana women. There is an amazing ability to see themselves with new understanding while simultaneously seeing beyond themselves into the joy, hope, and struggles of the men and women in these venerable stories. Bibliodrama has been, and continues to be, a Life giving experience for all involved.
Jodi Greanead is a LPC Intern / supervised by Tammy Terrell LPC-Supervisor in Denton and Lewisville, Texas. She volunteers at First Refuge Ministries in Denton, TX and Resolana, Volunteers of America-Texas at Lew Sterrett (Dallas County Jail) in Dallas, TX. Jodi has been a student of psychodrama with Katrena Hart at Bridging Harts Psychotherapy in Allen, TX since 2012 and a student of Dr. Daniela Simmons at Expressive Therapies Training Institute in Denton, TX since 2014. Jodi is currently seeking psychodrama certification. She is also pursuing ongoing supervision with Dr. Pitzele for further creation of Bibliodrama.

BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel resumed complex coalition talks on Saturday in a last-ditch effort to forge a government and avert a political crisis in Europe's biggest economy.
The veteran leader, in power since 2005, won a September 24 vote without a clear majority for her conservative CDU/CSU bloc, largely because of the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), and must now build an unlikely alliance with the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and left-leaning Greens.
But their deep policy differences, especially on immigration and the environment, have hobbled the month-long negotiating marathon, leading party leaders to miss a Thursday deadline and declare they will push on until Sunday evening.
Until and unless the motley crew of four parties, which spans the mainstream political spectrum, strikes a deal, Germany's government remains in effective limbo with Merkel serving as a caretaker chancellor.
If they fail, Germany would probably hold snap elections, which would leave Merkel increasingly exposed to a rising band of critics within her own ranks and could further bolster the anti-Islam AfD.
"There is the will to ensure that this political task succeeds, but it cannot succeed at any price," warned Alexander Dobrindt, a member of the CSU, the Bavarian party allied with Merkel, after arriving for the talks.
"Sunday at 18:00, it's over. This weekend, we must decide," said FDP leader Christian Lindner.
In an interview with Die Welt newspaper, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier called on the four parties to act responsibly in order to avoid a new vote.
Merkel, no longer deemed invincible after her poor election result, "now faces the most difficult task of her leadership so far," judged the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily.
Hours after a 15-hour red-eye meeting ended at around 4am on Friday, Merkel, the veteran of countless all-night EU summits, said that "the task of forming a government for Germany is so important that the effort is worthwhile". -AFP

- New high-tech coatings like those used to reduce fingerprinting on the latest cellphones are coming to cars, trucks, and SUVs in the near future—possibly in some 2020 models.
- Automakers could use them to reduce fingerprinting not only on infotainment touchscreens, but also on easily smudged piano black trim used in so many of today's new vehicles.
- We tested a prototype of one such coating from PPG against an iPhone X and a 2019 Volvo XC60's infotainment screen for its resistance to fingerprint smudging and ease of cleanup.
If you have a newish phone and a newish car, you know that your phone suffers far fewer fingerprints and smudges than your vehicle's infotainment screen and its shiny piano black trim. The fingerprints that do build up on your phone's screen wipe off easily and quickly. Your car's screen or glossy black trim? Not so much.
Help is on the way, however. Car companies are looking to adapt the coatings used on the latest cellphones to vehicle screens and shiny black interior trim. The aim of this new coating tech is to both reduce how often you need to neaten up your car's reflective interior surfaces and to make the job much quicker to accomplish.
Smudge-Testing the New Coating
We recently had a chance to try one of the new screen coatings courtesy of manufacturing giant PPG. The company provided us with a sample of its anti-fingerprint coating on a glass plate, which we pitted against the screen coatings used on an iPhone X and on our 2019 Volvo XC60 long-term test vehicle's infotainment screen. The PPG product is different from most other coatings in that it's sprayed onto the screen rather than being a film applied over the screen, but its intent is the same.
The test consisted of pressing a thumbprint onto the PPG sample and onto the clean iPhone screen—the Volvo's screen was already so badly smudged with dozens of our fingerprints that adding more wasn't necessary—and observing how prominent the prints were and how easy they were to wipe off. We used a fresh microfiber towel to clean the screens.
The results of this less than scientific test couldn't have been more conclusive, though. Both the PPG sample and iPhone screen performed identically: the fingerprints registered so faintly that a police expert would have had trouble pulling a set, and both wiped off what little smudging there was with a single, light swipe. The Volvo screen took a minute or more of determined wiping to get it smear-free again. So the new coating delivers a major—and welcome—improvement, and it should work just as well on piano black trim, we are told.
In the next few years, we can expect more and more vehicles to adopt this next generation of smudge-resistant coatings. PPG says that its new coating, which a spokesperson told us is probably going to be called Crystal Clear, is already slated to be on a production model in the very near future. You will know if your new car has it, or something like it, the very first time you swipe a cloth across your vehicle's infotainment screen.

Trevon Diggs reveals time Nick Saban made him cry—and why the Cowboys star CB now thanks Alabama coach
ARLINGTON, Texas – When Nick Saban first floated the idea, Trevon Diggs cried.
The younger brother of NFL receiver Stefon Diggs wanted to be a receiver, too. He'd arrived at Alabama eager to play offense, his cornerback skills evident in high school but his offensive potential also ranked highest of any Maryland product in the 2016 recruiting class. Saban believed Trevon Diggs' length would translate even more powerfully at defensive back.
"I was hurt at first, honestly," Diggs said Sunday night after his Cowboys beat the Giants, 44-20. "I called my brother. I was crying."
Stefon Diggs ditched the sympathy card in favor of motivation. "We've got to get to work," he told a then-teenaged Trevon Diggs.
Fast forward to Sunday night, and Trevon Diggs—now a second-year cornerback—was securing his whopping sixth interception in five games this season. Prior to Diggs, no Cowboys player had intercepted a pass in each of the first five games of a season in 50 years. The franchise hasn't even had a player intercept six passes throughout a full season in 14 years.
Follow every game: Live NFL Scores
Diggs' message to Saban now: "Thank you."
COWBOYS:Dak Prescott acknowledges 'mental fog' hit on injury anniversary vs. Giants
MORE:32 things we learned from Week 5 of 2021 NFL season
When the Cowboys selected Diggs in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, no trait mesmerized them more than his ball skills. The 6-2 cornerback had nabbed three interceptions his senior season at Alabama, breaking up eight passes on the year. As a rookie, he deflected 14 passes, including three interceptions, despite battling injuries and debuting without a preseason, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now in his second pro year, he has starred.
Tom Brady, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Sam Darnold (twice) and Mike Glennon have unintentionally completed passes to the Cowboys' young standout this season. Dallas teammates laugh at quarterbacks continuing to throw in Diggs' direction, even if he has taken to traveling with opponents' top receivers. Management compares him fondly to Hall of Fame defensive back Deion Sanders.
"It's incredible what he's doing," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told a handful of reporters in the AT&T Stadium tunnels Sunday night. "I don't want to overdo it here, but that was a little Deion-esque how he set that up.
"I hope he keeps it up."
Diggs' interception this week came via Glennon after Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones was carted off with a concussion. On the first play after the Cowboys had extended their lead to 24-13, Glennon heaved a deep ball roughly 50 yards toward receiver C.J. Board. Diggs high-pointed the catch instead.
"When they get in formation like that, it's more so play-action, back-to-back deeper routes against max protect," Diggs said after the game. "I read my keys, saw he ran the post route and made a play on the ball."
Diggs' technical explanations, like the interceptions themselves, have become a weekly staple in postgame news conferences. The cornerback has yet to attribute his takeaways to chance or luck, nor does he decline to explain them with the oft-cited excuse that he hasn't yet watched film. Diggs credits his receiver background with giving him the deep knowledge to understand his coverages and why an interception did or didn't materialize. Two earlier potential interceptions against the Giants, lost to a drop and out-of-bounds landing? Diggs can detail the double move and over route played against him on the missed opportunities.
"It's kind of easier because, being a former wide receiver, I know all the routes, all the route angles, all the steps," Diggs said. "I know exactly what's going to happen, what you're going to do to me.
"It's not foreign to me."
The regularity with which Diggs finds his interceptions, however, is indeed foreign.
Just 11 players in league history have recorded an interception in each of the first five games of the NFL season, and only three players had previously picked off six balls in the first five games of the season. Cornerback Marcus Peters swiped six in five games with the Chiefs in 2016, then no more through the final 10 games he played of the season. Before that, six interceptions by a single player through five weeks had not been seen since 1984.
"If they keep throwing at the kid, he's going to get more," Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott said. "I mean, he almost had two other ones today. If you keep throwing the ball at 7, he's going to pick you off.
"I think it's about time for quarterbacks to stop looking his way."
Diggs hopes quarterbacks continue to look his way, including Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Diggs has been goading Prescott to let him take reps at receiver in practice. Prescott told the 23-year-old: "Relax." Then he watched Diggs' acrobatics yet again Sunday.
"When you see a catch like that you're like, 'You know, maybe we can talk again,'" Prescott said. "Diggs thinks he's a receiver."
The cornerback, meanwhile, is careful not to get caught up in the hype that comes with accolades like his NFC Defensive Player of the Month and Week awards. Sure, he appreciates the notice from those whom he respects, including five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman tweeting Sunday that Diggs should win Defensive Player of the Year.
But on game days, Diggs focuses less on social media and more on maximizing his preparation, from early-morning sauna trips to clear his mind to phone calls with his 4-year-old son Aaiden, who requests weekly which plays his dad make.
Then Trevon Diggs returns to his brother's advice from the day Saban challenged his receiver future, the mindset that he believes will establish any of his success at the NFL level.
"You've just got to grind," Diggs said. "That's all football is, is about the grind. Whatever you really believe in, you've got to really go do it and really achieve it. I really believed that I could be a good corner so I worked, worked, worked.
"I sucked it up and just got back to work, and I thank Saban for that. Appreciate you."

Could 3,500 pound Great White Shark Mary Lee be on her way back to Bermuda?
According to newsobserver.com, Mary Lee has returned to the Carolina coastline. She has travelled as far east as Bermuda and as far south as Jacksonville, Florida after being tagged in Massachusetts last September.
You will remember we first reported in February that Mary Lee was 90 miles away from Bermuda.
The next day, she was closing in at 41 miles, then 35 miles.
On February 22, Mary Lee was just 21 miles offshore, sparking even more curiosity with locals who wondered if she would come even closer.
Mary Lee seemed to say goodbye to Bermuda on February 25, then she decided to head south. She was tracked at 71 miles to our south.
This morning, www.newsobserver.com reported Mary Lee had returned to the Carolinas.
"A ping from a satellite tag on the 16-foot-long shark showed Mary Lee was just off the coast in Murrells Inlet on Friday morning" the website said.
Since being tagged last September, researchers say Mary Lee has traveled more than 13,285 miles along the east coast.
Mary Lee headed north in January.
The website said shark researcher Chris Fischer said scientists know little about great whites and they are not quite sure why Mary Lee headed north so quickly.
Fischer is the founder of OCEARCH, a nonprofit dedicated to studying great whites and other large marine species.

Incanto Vino Nobile
by winenews on Oct.04, 2009, under Reviews
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
The Incanto label is an excellent vintage 2005 Nobile. The actual bottling is by a Co-op in Siena, Italy just north of the Montepulciano area. Made from Sangiovese grapes, this variety of Montepulciano is close to Brunello…at substantially less money. Nice aroma and soft flavor make this a great choice with pasta and mild meat sauces. Good with grilled chicken as well. Very fruity with lots of soft flavors. Not as balanced and full as a good Brunello but pleasant. At only $9.99 its a great value both with dinner and by itself.
Callibriga Douro
by winenews on Oct.02, 2009, under Reviews
Here's an amazing "almost port like" value from Portugal. But it is truly a drinkable everyday red wine that's juicy and delicious. This 2006 vintage has a deep purple color and a lucious semi-sweet smell. The first taste is an explosion of fruit, juicy and thick. Very low in tannins the wine is not complex but very pleasing either alone or with meat sauces like pasta dishes. Probably great with pizza. There is a hint of spice and chocolate and the aftertaste is velvety.
The winery making this is Quinto Da Leda. They us oak barrels to age the wine for 12 months, with another 6 months in the bottle. The result is a very lite port flavour in a drinkable table wine.
The Douro region of Portugal is famous for excellent grapes and this example is a real hit for only $8.99.
Nerello del Bastardo
by winenews on Sep.22, 2009, under Reviews
Barolo is Italy's top collectable wine. When Piedmonte winemakers wish to make Barolo or Barberesco the laws governing these wines require a certain time of aging, a minimum of 4 years. They can only then be classified as such. Any excess wine can only be sold as table wine, even though the final products are relatively the same. Hence the creation of "Bastardo".
This blend of red wines may be a breakthrough in wine making. In essence this wine is the illegitimate son of a Barolo, hence the name. Full bodied this variety is excellent with game, red meat, pasta, rich cheese, or on it's own.
The aroma is fruity and the taste is soft and smooth. Lots of fruit, low tannins, and hint of spice on the finish. Not as bold as Barolo but very similar flavor. An amazing value at around $8. The vintage we tasted was from 2002 and it has held up well.
Six Grapes Port
by winenews on Sep.22, 2009, under Reviews
Graham, one of Portugal's top port producers, has released this very drinkable everyday Port. It derives its name from the traditional cask markings used to denote the finest wines from each harvest. Only rich young wines of superior quality are used to make this blend. The six varieties are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Amarela, and Tinto Cao.
Six Grapes is bottled relatively young to conserve its fresh assertive style and is not subject to fining ot filtration to ensure that it retains its superb, delicious fruit concentration. Six Grapes is released for immediate enjoyment and does not require decanting.
Even though Six Grapes is truly a port wine, it is quite soft and lite. It is great after a meal with chocolate, or any time with sharp cheeses. Actually it goes good with some meals that can handle a juicy heavy tasting wine. At $16 this is an amazing value, and a great way for folks new to port to explore the variety without going broke.
Fast Cars & Great Wine
by winenews on Sep.20, 2009, under Articles, Travel
Do fast cars and Italian wine go well together? You bet they do when the cars are the Formula1 racing machines at top speed on the Monza track, and the wines are Piemonte Barolos. If you are a car and a wine fanatic you simply must see the Monza race and spend at least a week touring the Piemonte region of Italy.

The History and Wines of Carpineto
by winenews on Jul.22, 2009, under Reviews
Carpineto is a partnership between the award winning winemaker Giovanni C. Sacchet and the dynamic Antonio M. Zaccheo, offering a product line of wines spanning from the most prestigious Tuscan DOCG appellations to varietal specific wines of great structure as well as innovative proprietary blends. The winery is widely regarded as one of the quality leaders on the Italian winemaking landscape, exporting the majority of the wine production to over 30 countries worldwide. About 90% of Carpineto's wine production is red wine, 65% of this being "riserva" wines that are aged three or more years before their release date. Since Carpineto generally ages their red wines six to twelve months longer than the minimum time required by DOCG appellation rules the cellars hold at least three consecutive vintages of wine at any given time. This long aging period has allowed Carpineto to build a reputation for high quality and consistency, vintage after vintage.

Castello del Trebbio
by winenews on May.22, 2009, under Reviews
Castello del Trebbio was built as a fortress in the twelfth century for the Pazzi family. Its fame is due to the "Pazzi Conspiracy", a plot organized by the Pazzi family in 1478 to kill their old enemies Giuliano and Lorenzo de' Medici. In the fifteenth century ownership transferred to the Medici family who converted it into a villa. The current family purchased it in 1968 and have restored it respecting its history. The estate comprises about 60 hectares of grapes, 10.000 olive trees and native forest, a total of 350 hectares. A tour of the castle and the old wine cellars with wine and olive oil tasting is possible for groups with reservation. Also part of the estate are apartments for rent by tourists.The cellars date from 1184, with the newest part of the castle being the courtyard that is about 600 years old. The the current owners' parents bought the castle in 1968, and after 20 years restoration, both passed away between 1988 and 1990. Only 2 of the 5 children decided to keep the estate and the castle. One of them, Anna, lives in the castle with her husband Stefano, the winemaker of the company, along with their 3 young children. Anna is responsible for the wine marketing, and for the olive oil and saffron production.

To use KGDB to debug your Nios2 Linux Kernel, you'll need to checkout the most recent unstable-nios2mmu branch and enable the following kernel configuration options:
Kernel hacking --->
[*] Kernel debugging
[*] KGDB: kernel debugger --->
<*> KGDB: use kgdb over the serial console
We will be using the Altera UART for communication to KGDB, thus the console must be on the JTAG UART. Make sure you configure the serial drivers as follows:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->

Then add the following bootargs string to your dts:
bootargs = "debug kgdboc=ttyAL0,115200 kgdbwait console=ttyJ0,115200";
Then rebuild your kernel.
After downloading the kernel to your target you should see the boot messages pass by until the kernel pauses with the following log messages:
ttyAL0 at MMIO 0x6000000 (irq = 2) is a Altera UART
kgdb: Registered I/O driver kgdboc.
kgdb: Waiting for connection from remote gdb...
Now start gdb on your development host using:

The commands described in this section convert numbers from one form to another; they are two-key sequences beginning with the letter c.
The c f (
calc-float) [
pfloat] command converts the
number on the top of the stack to floating-point form. For example,
23 is converted to 23.0, 3:2 is converted to
1.5, and 2.3 is left the same. If the value is a composite
object such as a complex number or vector, each of the components is
converted to floating-point. If the value is a formula, all numbers
in the formula are converted to floating-point. Note that depending
on the current floating-point precision, conversion to floating-point
format may lose information.
As a special exception, integers which appear as powers or subscripts are not floated by c f. If you really want to float a power, you can use a j s command to select the power followed by c f. Because c f cannot examine the formula outside of the selection, it does not notice that the thing being floated is a power. See section Selecting Sub-Formulas.
The normal c f command is "pervasive" in the sense that it
applies to all numbers throughout the formula. The
algebraic function never stays around in a formula; `pfloat(a + 1)'
changes to `a + 1.0' as soon as it is evaluated.
With the Hyperbolic flag, H c f [
float] operates
only on the number or vector of numbers at the top level of its
argument. Thus, `float(1)' is 1.0, but `float(a + 1)'
is left unevaluated because its argument is not a number.
You should use H c f if you wish to guarantee that the final value, once all the variables have been assigned, is a float; you would use c f if you wish to do the conversion on the numbers that appear right now.
The c F (
calc-fraction) [
pfrac] command converts a
floating-point number into a fractional approximation. By default, it
produces a fraction whose decimal representation is the same as the
input number, to within the current precision. You can also give a
numeric prefix argument to specify a tolerance, either directly, or,
if the prefix argument is zero, by using the number on top of the stack
as the tolerance. If the tolerance is a positive integer, the fraction
is correct to within that many significant figures. If the tolerance is
a non-positive integer, it specifies how many digits fewer than the current
precision to use. If the tolerance is a floating-point number, the
fraction is correct to within that absolute amount.
pfrac function is pervasive, like
There is also a non-pervasive version, H c F [
which is analogous to H c f discussed above.
The c d (
calc-to-degrees) [
deg] command converts a
number into degrees form. The value on the top of the stack may be an
HMS form (interpreted as degrees-minutes-seconds), or a real number which
will be interpreted in radians regardless of the current angular mode.
The c r (
calc-to-radians) [
rad] command converts an
HMS form or angle in degrees into an angle in radians.
The c h (
calc-to-hms) [
hms] command converts a real
number, interpreted according to the current angular mode, to an HMS
form describing the same angle. In algebraic notation, the
function also accepts three arguments: `hms(h, m, s)'.
(The three-argument version is independent of the current angular mode.)
calc-from-hms command converts the HMS form on the top of the
stack into a real number according to the current angular mode.
The c p (
calc-polar) command converts the complex number on
the top of the stack from polar to rectangular form, or from rectangular
to polar form, whichever is appropriate. Real numbers are left the same.
This command is equivalent to the
rect or
functions in algebraic formulas, depending on the direction of
conversion. (It uses
polar, except that if the argument is
already a polar complex number, it uses
rect instead. The
I c p command always uses
The c c (
calc-clean) [
pclean] command "cleans" the
number on the top of the stack. Floating point numbers are re-rounded
according to the current precision. Polar numbers whose angular
components have strayed from the -180 to +180 degree range
are normalized. (Note that results will be undesirable if the current
angular mode is different from the one under which the number was
produced!) Integers and fractions are generally unaffected by this
operation. Vectors and formulas are cleaned by cleaning each component
number (i.e., pervasively).
If the simplification mode is set below the default level, it is raised to the default level for the purposes of this command. Thus, c c applies the default simplifications even if their automatic application is disabled. See section Simplification Modes.
A numeric prefix argument to c c sets the floating-point precision to that value for the duration of the command. A positive prefix (of at least 3) sets the precision to the specified value; a negative or zero prefix decreases the precision by the specified amount.
The keystroke sequences c 0 through c 9 are equivalent to c c with the corresponding negative prefix argument. If roundoff errors have changed 2.0 into 1.999999, typing c 1 to clip off one decimal place often conveniently does the trick.
The c c command with a numeric prefix argument, and the c 0 through c 9 commands, also "clip" very small floating-point numbers to zero. If the exponent is less than or equal to the negative of the specified precision, the number is changed to 0.0. For example, if the current precision is 12, then c 2 changes the vector `[1e-8, 1e-9, 1e-10, 1e-11]' to `[1e-8, 1e-9, 0, 0]'. Numbers this small generally arise from roundoff noise.
If the numbers you are using really are legitimately this small, you should avoid using the c 0 through c 9 commands. (The plain c c command rounds to the current precision but does not clip small numbers.)
One more property of c 0 through c 9, and of c c with a prefix argument, is that integer-valued floats are converted to plain integers, so that c 1 on `[1., 1.5, 2., 2.5, 3.]' produces `[1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3]'. This is not done for huge numbers (`1e100' is technically an integer-valued float, but you wouldn't want it automatically converted to a 100-digit integer).
With the Hyperbolic flag, H c c and H c 0 through H c 9
operate non-pervasively [

- Latasha Peterson is a side-hustle coach and entrepreneur who runs the blog Arts and Budgets.
- She set a goal to pay off $20,000 in 2021 and she's already achieved it by monetizing her platforms.
- She used affiliate marketing, ads, digital courses, and brand partnerships to reach her goal.
I used to work in musical theater and performing, so I often had to pick up side gigs to help cover my monthly expenses. I've done everything from working with brands at local radio stations to participating in focus groups.
In 2016, when I became pregnant with my first child, my husband and I decided that I would stay at home with our baby and start a side-hustle blog. That year, Arts and Budgets was born, and a year later we turned it into an actual business.
Today, Arts and Budgets gets over 100,000 monthly pageviews and has helped me create several income streams. I recently had my first $10,000 month in income and hit my goal this month of paying off more than $20,000 of credit-card and student-loan debt. My new goal is to pay off a total of $25,000 by the end of this year with my husband.
Here's how I monetized my blog.
I created passive income streams
One of my favorite ways to make money with my blog is through passive income. When set up correctly, passive income can help individuals make money every day.
I currently promote products and services I love through affiliate marketing with companies like ShareASale, Impact Radius, and Adbloom, and by having ads on my website through the ad management company Mediavine. These sources brought in over $4,500 for my business last month alone.
I built partnerships with brands and bloggers
Another way I increased my income using my blog was by building partnerships with brands and other bloggers. I grew my Instagram account to over 20,000 followers by posting side hustle and entrepreneurial content daily on my page to help my target audience, doing hashtag research to find the best hashtags to use on my posts, and networking with a lot of personal finance bloggers and entrepreneurs by sending them messages to connect or by supporting their content. Building those relationships has helped me collaborate on Instagram Live and blog posts.
The process that helps me create valuable content is first polling and surveying my target audience to find out their pain points and struggles. After that, I find out what type of product(s) they need, then I set up a monthly schedule to create the product.
To help with consistency, I write out three goals per day. Writing out my goals has helps me stay focused and consistent. I also use scheduling apps like Planoly to help me schedule posts on social media every day.
Additionally, brands have reached out to me for partnerships or sponsored blog posts after regularly seeing the side hustle and entrepreneurial resources I share on my Instagram page and blog. When a brand reaches out to me, I do my research to see if it's a good fit or not and make sure its mission aligns with mine.
I sell digital products and services
I sell digital products such as my "Side Hustle To Freedom" ebook and my new course, Blog For Profit Academy — both of which contributed to my first month hitting $10,000 in revenue.
Additionally, I offer individual and group coaching. My coaching services range from $97 for a one-hour coaching call to $2,000 for six weeks of one-on-one coaching. I love coaching because it helps me connect with my clients on a much deeper level. I advertise via Instagram by posting content daily, sending emails to my email list, and writing about my services in my blog posts.

There's a program on ABC2 called Little Princess (don't pretend you haven't seen it), in which this annoyingly spoilt little princess rules the kingdom – with an extremely annoying voice. For some reason we also have a book that goes with the series called "I want to be…" in which the Little Princess is trying to decide what she wants to be when she grows up. She gathers all sorts of advice about being brave, good at swimming, clean etc, before the maid (who as far as I can tell is the only sensible one in the entire castle) asks the Little Princess what she wants to be.
|image from here
Lately I have been pondering what I want my children to be like when they are adults (apart from the fact that I never want them to grow up). When they are small they are full of immediate demands for food, entertainment, cuddles, nappy changes etc. Sometimes sheer exhaustion pushes out the longer term thoughts about what we want for our children when they grow up (sometimes it can be hard to think about what is for dinner).
To be honest I don't really care whether my kids are good at swimming (though I would like them to be). I kind of hope that they might be clean. I don't mind what sort of job they do once they leave school.
What I do want is for them to be caring, compassionate and kind. I want them to be strong and independent; brave when needed. I want them to be hard working and responsible I want my children to have a heart for serving others.
How do you teach your children these things? I can teach my children to tie their shoe laces, cook a meal, or write their name, and I can see straight away whether how well I have taught them. I am less sure how I can teach my kids to be kind and compassionate; to consider the needs of others as well as their own. There is no formula to follow, no instruction booklet. Hardest of all, the results are long term, and by the time we see them, it can be too late.
All I can do is my best. All I can do is model the kinds of attitudes and behaviours I want my children to learn. All I can do is pray that they will learn those things which are so important to me.
It is so hard to parent with a long term goal at times. The Little Princess might be cute as a 4 year old, running around the castle, demanding everything her way, but one day she will grow up. An adult who behaves like the little princess is not cute, just sad.
I would love some inspiration – what sort of things do you do to help instill your values in your children?

Selected to present at:
Racial Discrimination in Pittsburgh
Design Research
A wicked problem is a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of its complexity and ever-changing nature. In this project, in small teams we created a systems map of a wicked problem and present potential solutions.
May 2019
Our project was chosen to be presented at the 2019 RSD8: Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium by the IIT Institute of Design in Chicago.
The Problem
Where to start when finding solutions for a complex problem
There are innumerable components to a wicked problem, so by creating a method to try and portray as many of these factors can create a clearer visual presentation of the topic.
The Goal
Finding solutions from systems thinking
It is important to learn the process of systems thinking as a designer in order to create an accessible way to show others the entirety of the wicked problem, understand the multiple perspective of stakeholders involved, and to be thorough when trying to find areas for design intervention.
Putting everything down on paper
In our team, we brainstormed main topics that influences the discrimination in Pittsburgh (in yellow sticky notes), such as the 'environment/nurture' of individuals. Then we added more detailed subtopics under these categories, such as a 'lack of good education'. These topics and subtopics eventually became their own clusters that related to each other directly and indirectly. Therefore, we added these connection using lines and included evidence we found online to further support our choices for the placement.
We added more historical events into our mess maps that would have impacted the racial discrimination in Pittsburgh and included the stakeholders of each major topic. By laying out our ideas, we realized that history is a crucial factor in this topic, however, as designers there is not much we can do to intervene with events of the past. Therefore, we decided to include a separate timeline of historical global events and events solely from Pittsburgh. This helps viewers understand how the past has shaped the current state of the problem and allows us to find intervention points.
We transferred our content to a digital platform and cleaned up our map to make our map clearer. I decided that the major topics would be inclosed in the colored box in the background and the smaller outlined boxes are subtopics. Stakeholders are at the bottom of each subtopic and lines are drawn between major and subtopics with explanation of the connections we made between them. This could easily become complicated, thus, I also added a key on the left to describe the content.
Our timeline is at the bottom and events are place above and below the line according to whether they are positive or negative influences in history.
Local scale intervention
We added our interventions at the end, taking the perspective of multiple stakeholders and creating potential solutions from a local to global scale. From the feedback from others, our solutions seemed disconnected from our map. Thus, I thought to integrate these solutions more into our content, I wanted to include a relationship map for our interventions to show how closely related our major topics of the wicked problem are to each other, and to create a fuller understanding. For example, racial discrimination is impacted by a person's housing location, which relates to one's economic status and economic power. On a local scale, having community events can integrate communities of different areas, including police of these areas, can increase more mutual understanding between different backgrounds and races, and even lower police brutality.

I learned through this project the theory behind systems thinking and the process of applying it to real world problem. This will be useful in my design journey as it helps guide me through thinking about how to approach complicated problems.

Long before the Cash Money camp became known as Cash Money Millionaires, the label got its start hustling albums by a young teen known as BG, who eventually scored a national anthem with his track "Bling Bling." Originally known as the Baby Gangsta, BG grew up in the dangerous uptown section of New Orleans, among some of the most poverty-ridden areas of America. There he struggled to stay out of trouble and stay in school, yet thrived as a talented young rapper. Two ambitious entrepreneurs, Ronald "Slim" Williams and his brother Bryan "Baby" Williams, heard about the infamous Baby Gangsta and soon signed him to their infantile Cash Money label. At the alarming age of only 11, BG recorded his first album, True Story, in 1993 and quickly made a name for himself in the South. The Cash Money brothers rushed the prodigy back into the studio to record yet another album, Chopper City, which again captivated the region with its teen gangsta firing off rhymes with the poise of a seasoned veteran. Realizing that this was no mere novelty act, the Williams brothers kept shuttling BG back into the studio, resulting in two successive follow-ups: 1996's It's All on You, Vol. 1 and 1997's It's All on You, Vol. 2. Around this same time, with the money they had made off the BG albums, Cash Money signed a few other local rap artists and created the Hot Boys, a group featuring BG, Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and Young Turk. The first Hot Boys album, Get It How U Live, further established BG as an up-and-coming rapper, still in his teens. Following the uncanny success of the Hot Boys' debut in the South and in the Midwest with little to no commercial airplay, the Williams brothers signed a deal with Universal Records in summer 1998 that provided distribution, marketing, and promotion support for future Cash Money releases. Now, with this deal signed, BG's next album, 1999's Chopper City in the Ghetto, surprised many by debuting at number nine on the Billboard charts. The album's lead single, "Cash Money Is an Army," supplied some push, but it was the anthemic "Bling Bling" that kept this album on the charts, leading to the label's first platinum release and setting the precedent for Juvenile's eventual commercial success. Another Hot Boys album, Guerrilla Warfare, followed soon after, driven by the successful single "I Need a Hot Girl," and next, BG's catalog was re-released in the wake of Cash Money's sudden rise to success. In late 2000, long after the Cash Money camp had become a household name, BG dropped his sixth solo album, Checkmate, led by the single "I Know," only weeks after the release of Baller Blockin', a soundtrack and straight-to-video film also featuring the ever busy BG.

Kate Kelly
| Home | Ned Kelly Story | Kelly Family Tree | Other Bushrangers | Shopping | Kelly Country Tourism | Guestbook/Subscriptions | Email |
Compiled and written by Gary Dean & Dagmar Balcarek.
Catherine Ada Foster, better known as Kate Kelly, the legendary sister of Ned Kelly. There were many newspaper articles, books, bush-songs and ballads written about Ned's sister Kate, and even more hear'says spread about her, but unfortunately, as often seems to happen, not all were correct, often to her detriment. So what was Kate Kelly really like?
Catherine Ada Kelly was born in, Beveridge on 12th July, 1863. Her parents were John Kelly and Ellen, nee Quinn. There are some mistakes in her birth certificate, like the age of her father and mother and the date of their marriage, probably because their neighbour, and brother-in-law John Ryan, who duly registered the birth of Kate in Donnybrook three days later, couldn't supply the exact data. She was the seventh child to her parents; their first girl, Mary, having died in infancy, the others being, Anne, Edward (Ned), Margaret, James and Daniel. The family moved later to Avenel, where in 1866 little Grace was born, and John Kelly, their father, died of dropsy. Kate was four years old, when her widowed mother moved with the children to live with her sisters at Greta. Then, twelve months later, Ellen Kelly took up her own selection on the Eleven-Mile-Creek, and moved her family into a two-roomed hut, which had been erected on the block.
Kate attended school at Greta and after finishing her schooling, helped her mother with the younger children, for Mrs. Kelly had remarried in 1874, and there were three more children by her second husband, George King, who were named Ellen, John and Alice. Kate grew into a beautiful young lady, who, like the rest of the family, was an exceptional horsewoman. Legend has it that her first suitor was Aaron Sherritt, whose tragic end has been fully described in the books dealing with the Kelly outbreak.
There was, however, another man, who became an importunate suitor of the young, vivacious girl despite the aversion of the whole family and Kate herself. He was the one who had triggered off the prelude to the Kelly tragedy. His name was Alexander Fitzpatrick. A former boundary rider, he later joined the police force, and at 21 he became a police constable. Although young, he had a lot of experience with women, and his attitude towards them was one of a merciless hunter. As a result of this, at 19, he already had to pay maintenance to a certain Jessie McKay of Meredith for the child he fathered. Jessie was not his only victim, there was another girl named Anne Savage, who lived at Frankston, and who by the end of 1877 was also pregnant to the indefatigable Alexander. He promised to marry her but it was not until the intervention of Jessie's father, Theodore Savage, a solicitor, who wrote to Captain Standish complaining about the Constable's honourable intentions, that they were finally joined in holy matrimony. But before this had taken place, he had already set his sights on his next victim, the 15 year old Kate Kelly.
Alexander, however, this time over-estimated himself. He first tried to pose as a friend of Ned's, but Ned and his family were not fools to be reckoned with, and they did not trust the young Constable. But fate destined that on the 15th April, 1878, an incident would occur at the Kelly home that would have dire consequences for the whole Kelly family. What really happened on that day at the Kelly Homestead, will never be entirely known, as reports given by those present conflict each other. However, Fitzpatrick did visit the homestead stating that he was acting on a warrant for the arrest of Dan for horse stealing. He was unquestionably under the influence of alcohol at the time, and he did make a pass at Kate that required her mother and her brothers to go to her assistance. Following the incident he returned to the Benalla police station where he made false statements. He maintained that Mrs. Kelly had stricken him with a fire shovel, Dan Kelly had beaten him and Ned Kelly had shot him and wounded him. He also incriminated William Williamson and William Skillion who he insisted were there when the incident took place. The outcome resulted in long harsh sentences for Mrs. Kelly, and her neighbours, Skillion and Williamson, based solemnly on Fitzpatrick's evidence, but believed by the police and Judge Barry. The Kelly boys, who were also wanted, hadn't waited around for their arrest as having not trusted him, they had already fled into the Wombat Ranges. The fact that even the doctor who had attended Fitzpatrick's wounds, did not confirm that his wounds were caused by a revolver bullet, and also that he reported a strong smell of liquor on the constable, or later, the fact that Fitzpatrick had been expelled from the police force for being a liar and a larrikin who never did his duty, didn't help Mrs. Kelly and her neighbours in mitigating their sentences - by then it was too late.
Following the sentence of their mother, the Kelly girls took the responsibility for looking after the children and for maintaining their mother's selection. They also helped to look after their brothers, who were by then outlawed because of the shooting of the police at stringybark Creek, in the Wombat Ranges. Kate often risked her life riding as a decoy for the police to follow. She frequently rode out to her brothers hideouts with food, clothes, ammunition and valuable information, She co-operated with her sister Margaret in everything that could have been done for their unfortunate brothers. Without the assistance of their sisters, the outlaws couldn't have remained at large for any length of time. Kate went with her sister, Tom Lloyd and Joseph Ryan to Melbourne to obtain the cartridges of the calibre of the weapons the Kelly gang were using. The police always kept a pretty close watch upon the movements of the family, nevertheless, they managed to purchase what they needed. Kate was carrying a large portmanteau and on their return journey two detectives accosted them at Winton railway siding and took the portmanteau away to search it. It contained only ladies clothes, but no sooner had they gone, Kate opened the window on the other side of the carriage and whistling to the man waiting on the platform she slipped him a parcel containing the ammunition. Nobody noticed it and the man quickly disappeared into the bush, while Kate returned to her seat, and remained absolutely calm as if nothing had happened.
Kate visited her mother in gaol as often as she could. After the final siege of Glenrowan, where her brother Dan died and Ned was captured and imprisoned, she also visited Ned when permitted, but was turned away on several occasions. As much as anyone in the family, she also tried desperately to raise money for Ned's trial to get him a good lawyer, but they could manage only a feeble fee.
After Ned was sentenced to death, Kate with her sister Maggie and Tom Lloyd, applied for help through the Society for the Abolition of Capital Punishment. Their last hopes were lost, when four members of this Society were allowed to see the Governor to beg for a prerogative mercy for Ned. Kate was received with them. She went to her knees begging for her brother's life, but His Excellency the Marquis of Normanby refused to listen. Kate and the family could now only bid him the last painful farewell. Ned Kelly was hanged on 11-11-1880 at 10 o'clock in the morning.
A newspaper report made shortly before Kate's last visit to her brother reads:
"Miss Kelly appears well in health, though pale. She was tending a child, which she, however, consigned to its mother and conversed pretty freely. A habit of cautious reticence seemed, however, to have become her nature, and while her eyes would gleem with intelligence, they had a certain shy sense of pleasure she felt in baffling inquiry.... with regard of either herself or any other member of her family. She denied that there was ever any offence to be laid to her charge, unless it was that of sympathising with her brother, and said that the way the whole family had been harassed for years made her wish 'she had never been born'."
The very evening that Ned was hanged, some posters appeared around Melbourne, announcing:
Kate and her brother Jim were duped by a smart showman to appear on the stage "to thank their supporters in person", but it didn't work out that way. Instead, a crowd of loiterers gazed tactlessly at the grief-stricken family members. Kate's sister Margaret disapproved of this and refused to be photographed.
Grief remained for the Kelly family, but life went on. A report made by Detective Ward in 1880 described Kate as follows; Victorian, aged about 18 years, five feet four inches high, slender build, dark complexion and hair - thin features, dark piercing eyes, very small chin, fairly good looking and a reserved manner, when in Victoria generally dressed in dark clothes.
The police wouldn't leave them alone even now! Kate suddenly disappeared from Eleven Mile Creek - and from Victoria. She appeared briefly in a Wild West Show in Sydney and adopted the name of "Ada". She was recognised nevertheless. To retain her incognito, she accepted an offer to appear in a show in Adelaide and performed under an assumed name of Ada Hennessey, and later Kate Ambrose. She managed to keep her incognito, but had to stop performing, because she became seriously ill.
At that time, a strange advertisement appeared in Adelaide. Professor Lance Skuthorpe introduced in his show an excellent equestrienne, Nora Kelly, the niece of Kate Kelly. This Nora Kelly has remained a mystery till these days. There was neither a flora found among the Kelly family, nor was found any evidence as to this Nora's further performances with Lance Skuthorpe, although that particular show was performed in front of the Duke and Duchess of York while they were visiting Adelaide. A bit of a coincidence, however, strikes every reader of J. J Kenneally's "The Inner History of the Kelly Gang". At page 11, Mr. Kenneally challenges an impostor who he had insisted on being Dan Kelly, and this imposter wrote in the Brisbane "TRUTH":
(He said that): "Flora was the oldest, then brother Jim, Ned, myself and Kate the youngest". Everybody knows that there was no Flora who'd have been Ned's sister.
Lance Skuthorpe, of course, was a famous performer who astounded the audience with riding buckjumpers in a lions cage, and with his horsemanship and sharp shooting. To add to the mysteries and coincidences, an historian has to struggle with. The name of his second wife was Violet King, also a circus performer.
It took some time and headache to establish that this lady had nothing to do with Vi, the wife of Jack Kelly - King, also an outstanding performer. Kate recuperated from her illness very slowly, she was yet not well enough when she started her new job as a barmaid at Hill Scott's Hotel in South Adelaide and eventually she had to give it up. She then decided to return home and after a while regained her strength. When she felt better, she worked as a domestic at Dr. Henderson's household in Wangaratta, and later as a housemaid at Mundarra Station in Laceby for Mrs. Henderson's parents, the Smiths. Her next job was at Mrs. Ponter's Promenade Hotel in Albury, then she was employed by Mrs. Prow at Glendore as a domestic, being recommended for the position by Mr McDougall of Waroo Station. She continued as a domestic at Cadow Station, where she was highly recommended by Mr. Prow. The reputation of a hard worker gained her another job for Mr. J. Gunn, butcher, and another one for Mr. Luthie & Son, undertakers. Finally, she was in the employ of Mr. C. Prow (the proprieter of the family general store) at his private residence in Lachlan St. Forbes.
On 25th November 1888, the 25 year old Kate married William Henry Foster of Forbes, the son of Frederick Foster and Mary May Ann, (née Davis). The couple married at the Church of England in Forbes. The Fosters were well respected and quite well off. Kate still used her alias "Ada" and was so known to all at Forbes. This is why the name Ada appears on the marriage certificate and birth registrations of her children. There were six of them: Frederick Arthur, Gertrude Eileen Ada (later Mrs. Cavanagh), Arthur Douglas, Ethel Maude (later Mrs. Hibbert), Ruby Ellen and Catherine. Three of those children, Arthur Douglas, Ruby Ellen and Catherine died in infancy and were buried in the grave at the Forbes Cemetery with their mother. During her married life in Forbes she on many occasions showed her skills in horsewomanship, and helped her husband in breaking in horses around South Circle Park.
Kate died relatively young at the age of 35, and in what could only be described as tragic circumstances. After being reported missing on the 6th of October 1898, her body was found eight days later in a lagoon at Condobolin Road near Forbes, where she drowned. The Magisterial inquiry was held on 15th October, but didn't throw any light as to how and why it happened. According to the death certificate, there was no evidence. However, it is known that following the death of her sister Maggie, some two years earlier, Kate had become very depressed.
Kate was buried in the Church of England section of the Forbes Cemetery. The headstone on her grave was erected by Mr. McDoughall of Waroo Station, who was very fond of Kate - Ned Kelly's sister.
When Kate died, her children Frederick, Gertrude and Maude were taken by their uncle, Jim Kelly, to their grandmother, Ellen Kelly at Eleven Mile Creek. This was done after much persuasion, because the Foster family in Forbes wanted to keep them. Their widowed father visited his children on several occasions and contact was maintained between them for many years. William Henry Foster was a blacksmith in Forbes, he was often called "Harry" or "Bricky" by his friends.
His son Frederick Arthur became a beekeeper at Myrrhee and remained unmarried. He was killed in action in World War 1 in Vouzičre in France in 1917. In his army records he gave his father's current address (in Sydney) as his next of kin. It was to his father that the telegram was sent regarding Fred's death.
Gertrude (Mrs. Cavanagh) was often registered as Ada, Gertrude Ada or Ada Gertrude, and on her marriage certificate she gave the name as Gertrude Eileen. She married Douglas Arthur Cavanagh, a building contractor. The couple had two children. Mr. Cavanagh was a soldier in World War 1, but luckily, returned home. He was the one who built the wheelchair for the old Mrs. Kelly. The family lived in Green Street in Wangaratta, and Gertrude nursed her grandmother Ellen in her last years, and paid the old, sick grandmother frequent visits. Gertrude died in Wangaratta in 1924, her husband also in Wangaratta in 1955.
Gertrude's sister, Ethel Maude, married Albert Hibbert, who also fought in World War 1 and happily returned home. Ethel Maude was very fond of her grandmother, Ellen Kelly, and should also be credited for the care and support shown to the old lady.
In September 1911, a reporter from "Sydney Sun", named William Cookson, interviewed some people in Glenrowan, trying to find out more about the Kelly family. An old resident told him:
"I don't think you know that Kate Kelly's oldest son is still at Glenrowan. But he is, and he's a most exemplary citizen generally. He started on scratch with nothing. Now he's got a bee farm, he's got money in the bank, and he's going to be married to a nice young lady belonging to a respected family. He works hard. He doesn't smoke or drink, and in many respects he's a good practical lesson in quiet citizenship to a lot of people down there. There was not much the matter with Kate, except affection for her brothers, who had been outlawed for protecting her."
