There are a couple of issues here:
# Beyond their introductions, all of these books are written in languages which are not English, making them out of scope for the English Wikibooks.
# All but one of these books are in fact written in constructed languages, most of them in recently created conlangs. In some cases (e.g. [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]), I can't find any reliable sources describing the target language outside of the translation itself.
# Most of the translations (i.e. other than [[Salute, Jonathan!]] itself) were abandoned within the first five or so chapters (out of 100); none of them are complete, and there seems to be little effort to complete any of them.
While I recognize that this is an unusual project, and potentially one which could have some value, it's not at all clear to me that the English Wikibooks is the right place for it. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 00:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: I'm really not sure what to do about these ones. While I recognize that this approach is certainly one method of teaching a language, I'm not sure that it constitutes an educational textbook. We do require that the English Wikibooks be written in English—for language-learning books, this typically means that the instructional parts are in English while the exercises are in the language being taught. I do think that if the language doesn't have much supporting evidence outside the book itself, it can safely be deleted. — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 01:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: Author of the book here. I originally wanted to put it in the Interlingue Wikibooks https://ie.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principal_p%C3%A1gine but it somehow got locked when I wasn't paying attention and so I ended up putting it here. Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done. It's sort of in the same vein as books like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that have separate versions with teacher notes and whatnot. [[Salute, Jonathan!/Capitul 1 - with notes]] After it was done the auxlang community really took to it which was a nice surprise. I think Ido has the largest number of chapters at the moment at 15.
:If the vast content of this book could be used to justify a quick reopening of the Interlingue Wikibooks to move it there, I'd love to do that. I imagine that an incubator with 100+ book chapters would be enough to open a Wikibooks and that's what this is. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: Ah, I just realized that we do have a proposal to reopen the Interlingue Wikibooks: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikibooks_Interlingue along with an Incubator page here. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wb/ie/Principal_p%C3%A1gine
: How easy would it be to migrate the entirety of Salute Jonathan to there? — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:: Hi @[[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]]! I'm not sure how incubator projects work, but I fully support migrating these books there. You may want to inquire over there and link to this discussion to support your request to move the content over there. Cheers! — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 13:16, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
::: Hi! Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias.
::: So the idea is the following:
:::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest.
:::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua).
:::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere).
:::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo.
::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out.
::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Here are my responses/questions:
::::* Is the original [[Salute, Jonathan!]] (Occidental)? Since that one is quite fleshed out, I agree that if you edit it so the primary language of the book (e.g. headers, instructions, etc) are written in English while leaving the actual story in Occidental, it would be okay and fit in more with instructional language textbooks.
::::* For your points 2 and 3, I'm not sure how those other projects work, so I'll leave it up to them. I'm not quite sure why they would need to move, since in theory they could be revised with English as the language of instruction? Although, they have been left incomplete for a long time.
::::* For your point 4, I have no problem with that. Cheers! — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 16:51, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
::::: Hello again, it's the weekend so I have a bit more time to work on this. I've decided to merge the extra content from the following five chapters since the difference is fairly small and the original chapters should now have this English content. Could you delete these five pages now that they are no longer needed?

::::::: Hi again! No luck trying to find a home for the random language translations on other auxlang wikis, can't find one that is actively maintained.
::::::: The thought struck me that maybe I could just put those ones on a sub page of my user page, would that be permitted? If not, I think I'll just stick them somewhere in GitHub and call it a day since none of the people who started the translations seem to care enough to do anything about them. I'd rather not see them outright disappear but since they aren't mine I don't care enough about them to do much more work than copy and paste them somewhere.

::::::::: Thanks a lot! I've started a single page where I will put them all here [[User:Mithridates/SJ]] and will proceed slowly due to lack of time and also to avoid stepping on any toes / asking you to delete too much at a time and possibly deleting the wrong content.
::::::::: For this week I have put the content for the languages Audia, Cristianès, Guosa, Lingaust, Mini, Mirad, and Monav on that page as they all have a single page of content and didn't take much time to move. Please delete those. Once they are gone I will add a note on the main page letting people know where they have gone (in addition to a thank you for their interest in the book! I do love how many people have recognized it as a good source material for teaching a language). — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 04:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

If you can find reliable sources for those languages, please let me know.
: In particular, I could not find resources for Audià/Audian and Monav after searching through 15 and 17 pages on Google, respectively. It doesn't help that [[Òla, Ionatà!|their]] [[Hai, Jon!|translations]] don't explain what those languages are and where to find resources for them. This makes contributing to those translations almost impossible until @[[User:Caro de Segeda|Caro de Segeda]] can provide resources to us. It's possible that the resources may have disappared from the Internet, or that those languages were created by Caro de Segeda him/herself.

: I don't think that would be within the scope of that project. I'm not aware of any other situation where Wikisource publishes translations of texts created on Wikimedia projects - that's usually left up to other language editions of the same project. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 05:34, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
:: In this situation there isn't a separate [[s:ie:]] distinct from Multilingual Wikisource (see [[meta:Wikisource#List of Wikisources]]). In fact, there are very few multilingual wikis in the Wikimedia sphere; while this project ''could'' move to a Miraheze-hosted or similar wiki farm location, I think it would be a missed opportunity. I suppose an [[Interlingue]] book could be started in [[shelf:Constructed languages]] which would have all 100 chapters as an appendix (and likewise for the other languages), but that also seems non-ideal since it requires an English-language text that doesn't currently exist to be created. [[WB:AT]] seems to describe a similar situation to this one and prescribe Wikisource as the solution, and [[WB:SOURCE]] mentions fiction as out-of-scope for Wikibooks (even as in this case, language-educational fiction). [[s:mul:Wikisource:about Wikisource]] simply speaks of source texts and doesn't mention publication requirements, so maybe that is specific to some of the monolingual editions? — [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arlo Barnes|contribs]]) 22:28, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

:These three books do make a package and I agree they should be considered together. However, I strongly object to deleting them. They are really extremely useful resources. I use them every week and I know that many people who do work on Old Chinese phonology do so. There are lots of books out there that are lists of characters, these are called dictionaries. For example Axel Schuessler's ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese, or Pulleyblank's Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation in Early Middle Chinese, Late Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. I see it as entirely a good thing for reference works of this kind to be available free online rather than only in expensive books in university research libraries. If this is in violation of a Wikibooks policy, I would at least like that policy to be drawn to my attention and to have some constructive comment offered about which Wikiproject such a resource should fall under. I will also say on a personal note that I have put literally hundreds of hours of work into these projects and it would grieve me a lot to see this work simply vanish, in particular when I know that colleagues around the world use these books. --[[User:Tibetologist|Tibetologist]] ([[User talk:Tibetologist|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tibetologist|contribs]]) 07:27, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Tibetologist|Tibetologist]], and thank you for the feedback! Official Wikibooks policy does not permit standalone dictionaries (see [[WB:DICT]]), though I understand the argument that it is a useful resource.

:::The policy says to use Wiktionary, but these books cannot be moved there. In fact they link there, you can understand me as having made an index to wiktionary, if you like, where the ORDER of the characters is extremely important, information that would be lost in Wiktionary.

::It seems that the idea behind the book was for the pages to be bilingual, as it’s a language learning book. That’s why there are Finnish texts included intentionally even on the pages that are complete. There are similar books in dewikibooks and ruwikibooks as well. For the English version, I think the easiest way to proceed would be to clean up and adjust the page layout to fit enwikibooks better, and then translate the missing parts. By the way, if anyone wants to update the book’s name in English, it can be titled ''"Using the Finnish Language"'' or ''"Put Finnish Language into Use"'' for a direct translation.

== [[Suicide]] ==
I realize this book has been nominated for deletion before ([[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide|1]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide (2)|2]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide/Suffocation|3]]), but it's been over ten years since the last nomination. The project's position on what material is in its educational scope has shifted, as have some of the facts on the ground.
* The chartered purpose of Wikibooks is to produce "open-content textbooks" (cf. [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?]]) which are suitable for use in an instructional environment. Providing educational information about suicide in the context of psychiatry could certainly be in scope, as psychiatry is an educational topic; however, instructional material on how to commit suicide is not an educational topic, and should not be considered in scope.
* This book is, and has always been, primarily intended as an instructional work guiding users on how to commit suicide. It provides effectively no meaningful analytical content ''about'' suicide as a topic. Most of the original content in the book was imported from an early-2000s wiki associated with the <code>alt.suicide.holiday</code> Usenet group, the "ASH wiki", which was specifically and unequivocally dedicated to describing and recommending methods by which readers could commit suicide, and this has carried through to the current version of the book.
* Most of the content in the book was removed in 2020 (by redirecting it to the book's main page, e.g. [[Special:Diff/3660495]]) over concerns that it was created by a WMF-banned user ([[User:Leucosticte]]), and because it was likely in violation of the ASH wiki's (unclear) copyright. These changes removed most of the content of the book; much of what remains is image gallery pages like [[Suicide/Blades]] which have no educational value.
Suicide is a sensitive topic; if it is covered by a textbook, it should be covered tastefully and with an aim to educate. This book is largely the opposite of that. Having it here is doing more harm than good.
If this book is deleted, the following related pages should be deleted as well:
* [[Template:Suicide methods]]
* [[Template:Infobox suicide method]] (currently unused)
* [[User:Leucosticte/About ASH]] - from the ASH wiki, as mentioned above
* [[User:Leucosticte/Frequently Asked Questions]] - also from the ASH wiki

: {{keep|weak keep}} a) Age is no argument. There are many stale underdeveloped books I would rather delete than keeping around. b) The book’s topic is exceptionally difficult to write about. ''This'' impedes collaborative authoring. c) The book does not really explain ''how'' to commit suicide (like a step‐by‐step guide), neither is it the book’s learning objective. d) Even if ''you construed'' the chapter summarizing various suicide methods ''as instructions'', instructional material on how to commit suicide ''is'' an educational topic. In most ''present‐day societies'' it is not ''ethical'' to teach students how to commit suicide, though. e) Therefore the correct path is to first alter the [[WB:WIW#Wikibooks includes instructional texts|project scope]] to censor books on ethical grounds ''and then'' nominate the book for censorship. ‑‑[[User:Kai Burghardt|Kai Burghardt]] ([[User talk:Kai Burghardt|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kai Burghardt|contribs]]) 04:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

There are a couple of issues here:
# Beyond their introductions, all of these books are written in languages which are not English, making them out of scope for the English Wikibooks.
# All but one of these books are in fact written in constructed languages, most of them in recently created conlangs. In some cases (e.g. [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]), I can't find any reliable sources describing the target language outside of the translation itself.
# Most of the translations (i.e. other than [[Salute, Jonathan!]] itself) were abandoned within the first five or so chapters (out of 100); none of them are complete, and there seems to be little effort to complete any of them.
While I recognize that this is an unusual project, and potentially one which could have some value, it's not at all clear to me that the English Wikibooks is the right place for it. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 00:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: I'm really not sure what to do about these ones. While I recognize that this approach is certainly one method of teaching a language, I'm not sure that it constitutes an educational textbook. We do require that the English Wikibooks be written in English—for language-learning books, this typically means that the instructional parts are in English while the exercises are in the language being taught. I do think that if the language doesn't have much supporting evidence outside the book itself, it can safely be deleted. — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 01:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: Author of the book here. I originally wanted to put it in the Interlingue Wikibooks https://ie.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principal_p%C3%A1gine but it somehow got locked when I wasn't paying attention and so I ended up putting it here. Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done. It's sort of in the same vein as books like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that have separate versions with teacher notes and whatnot. [[Salute, Jonathan!/Capitul 1 - with notes]] After it was done the auxlang community really took to it which was a nice surprise. I think Ido has the largest number of chapters at the moment at 15.
:If the vast content of this book could be used to justify a quick reopening of the Interlingue Wikibooks to move it there, I'd love to do that. I imagine that an incubator with 100+ book chapters would be enough to open a Wikibooks and that's what this is. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

::: Hi! Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias.
::: So the idea is the following:
:::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest.
:::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua).
:::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere).
:::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo.
::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out.
::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Here are my responses/questions:
::::* Is the original [[Salute, Jonathan!]] (Occidental)? Since that one is quite fleshed out, I agree that if you edit it so the primary language of the book (e.g. headers, instructions, etc) are written in English while leaving the actual story in Occidental, it would be okay and fit in more with instructional language textbooks.
::::* For your points 2 and 3, I'm not sure how those other projects work, so I'll leave it up to them. I'm not quite sure why they would need to move, since in theory they could be revised with English as the language of instruction? Although, they have been left incomplete for a long time.

:These three books do make a package and I agree they should be considered together. However, I strongly object to deleting them. They are really extremely useful resources. I use them every week and I know that many people who do work on Old Chinese phonology do so. There are lots of books out there that are lists of characters, these are called dictionaries. For example Axel Schuessler's ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese, or Pulleyblank's Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation in Early Middle Chinese, Late Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. I see it as entirely a good thing for reference works of this kind to be available free online rather than only in expensive books in university research libraries.

::It seems that the idea behind the book was for the pages to be bilingual, as it’s a language learning book. That’s why there are Finnish texts included intentionally even on the pages that are complete. There are similar books in dewikibooks and ruwikibooks as well. For the English version, I think the easiest way to proceed would be to clean up and adjust the page layout to fit enwikibooks better, and then translate the missing parts. By the way, if anyone wants to update the book’s name in English, it can be titled ''"Using the Finnish Language"'' or ''"Put Finnish Language into Use"'' for a direct translation.

== [[Suicide]] ==
I realize this book has been nominated for deletion before ([[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide|1]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide (2)|2]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide/Suffocation|3]]), but it's been over ten years since the last nomination. The project's position on what material is in its educational scope has shifted, as have some of the facts on the ground.
* The chartered purpose of Wikibooks is to produce "open-content textbooks" (cf. [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?]]) which are suitable for use in an instructional environment. Providing educational information about suicide in the context of psychiatry could certainly be in scope, as psychiatry is an educational topic; however, instructional material on how to commit suicide is not an educational topic, and should not be considered in scope.
* This book is, and has always been, primarily intended as an instructional work guiding users on how to commit suicide. It provides effectively no meaningful analytical content ''about'' suicide as a topic. Most of the original content in the book was imported from an early-2000s wiki associated with the <code>alt.suicide.holiday</code> Usenet group, the "ASH wiki", which was specifically and unequivocally dedicated to describing and recommending methods by which readers could commit suicide, and this has carried through to the current version of the book.
* Most of the content in the book was removed in 2020 (by redirecting it to the book's main page, e.g. [[Special:Diff/3660495]]) over concerns that it was created by a WMF-banned user ([[User:Leucosticte]]), and because it was likely in violation of the ASH wiki's (unclear) copyright. These changes removed most of the content of the book; much of what remains is image gallery pages like [[Suicide/Blades]] which have no educational value.
Suicide is a sensitive topic; if it is covered by a textbook, it should be covered tastefully and with an aim to educate. This book is largely the opposite of that. Having it here is doing more harm than good.
If this book is deleted, the following related pages should be deleted as well:
* [[Template:Suicide methods]]
* [[Template:Infobox suicide method]] (currently unused)
* [[User:Leucosticte/About ASH]] - from the ASH wiki, as mentioned above
* [[User:Leucosticte/Frequently Asked Questions]] - also from the ASH wiki

: {{keep|weak keep}} a) Age is no argument. There are many stale underdeveloped books I would rather delete than keeping around. b) The book’s topic is exceptionally difficult to write about. ''This'' impedes collaborative authoring. c) The book does not really explain ''how'' to commit suicide (like a step‐by‐step guide), neither is it the book’s learning objective. d) Even if ''you construed'' the chapter summarizing various suicide methods ''as instructions'', instructional material on how to commit suicide ''is'' an educational topic. In most ''present‐day societies'' it is not ''ethical'' to teach students how to commit suicide, though. e) Therefore the correct path is to first alter the [[WB:WIW#Wikibooks includes instructional texts|project scope]] to censor books on ethical grounds ''and then'' nominate the book for censorship. ‑‑[[User:Kai Burghardt|Kai Burghardt]] ([[User talk:Kai Burghardt|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kai Burghardt|contribs]]) 04:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

There are a couple of issues here:
# Beyond their introductions, all of these books are written in languages which are not English, making them out of scope for the English Wikibooks.
# All but one of these books are in fact written in constructed languages, most of them in recently created conlangs. In some cases (e.g. [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]), I can't find any reliable sources describing the target language outside of the translation itself.
# Most of the translations (i.e. other than [[Salute, Jonathan!]] itself) were abandoned within the first five or so chapters (out of 100); none of them are complete, and there seems to be little effort to complete any of them.
While I recognize that this is an unusual project, and potentially one which could have some value, it's not at all clear to me that the English Wikibooks is the right place for it. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 00:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: I'm really not sure what to do about these ones. While I recognize that this approach is certainly one method of teaching a language, I'm not sure that it constitutes an educational textbook. We do require that the English Wikibooks be written in English—for language-learning books, this typically means that the instructional parts are in English while the exercises are in the language being taught. I do think that if the language doesn't have much supporting evidence outside the book itself, it can safely be deleted. — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 01:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: Author of the book here. I originally wanted to put it in the Interlingue Wikibooks https://ie.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principal_p%C3%A1gine but it somehow got locked when I wasn't paying attention and so I ended up putting it here. Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done. It's sort of in the same vein as books like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that have separate versions with teacher notes and whatnot. [[Salute, Jonathan!/Capitul 1 - with notes]] After it was done the auxlang community really took to it which was a nice surprise. I think Ido has the largest number of chapters at the moment at 15.
:If the vast content of this book could be used to justify a quick reopening of the Interlingue Wikibooks to move it there, I'd love to do that. I imagine that an incubator with 100+ book chapters would be enough to open a Wikibooks and that's what this is. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

::: Hi! Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias.
::: So the idea is the following:
:::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest.
:::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua).
:::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere).
:::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo.
::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out.
::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Here are my responses/questions:
::::* Is the original [[Salute, Jonathan!]] (Occidental)? Since that one is quite fleshed out, I agree that if you edit it so the primary language of the book (e.g. headers, instructions, etc) are written in English while leaving the actual story in Occidental, it would be okay and fit in more with instructional language textbooks.
::::* For your points 2 and 3, I'm not sure how those other projects work, so I'll leave it up to them. I'm not quite sure why they would need to move, since in theory they could be revised with English as the language of instruction? Although, they have been left incomplete for a long time.
::::* For your point 4, I have no problem with that. Cheers! — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 16:51, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

:: In this situation there isn't a separate [[s:ie:]] distinct from Multilingual Wikisource (see [[meta:Wikisource#List of Wikisources]]). In fact, there are very few multilingual wikis in the Wikimedia sphere; while this project ''could'' move to a Miraheze-hosted or similar wiki farm location, I think it would be a missed opportunity. I suppose an [[Interlingue]] book could be started in [[shelf:Constructed languages]] which would have all 100 chapters as an appendix (and likewise for the other languages), but that also seems non-ideal since it requires an English-language text that doesn't currently exist to be created. [[WB:AT]] seems to describe a similar situation to this one and prescribe Wikisource as the solution, and [[WB:SOURCE]] mentions fiction as out-of-scope for Wikibooks (even as in this case, language-educational fiction).

:These three books do make a package and I agree they should be considered together. However, I strongly object to deleting them. They are really extremely useful resources. I use them every week and I know that many people who do work on Old Chinese phonology do so. There are lots of books out there that are lists of characters, these are called dictionaries. For example Axel Schuessler's ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese, or Pulleyblank's Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation in Early Middle Chinese, Late Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. I see it as entirely a good thing for reference works of this kind to be available free online rather than only in expensive books in university research libraries. If this is in violation of a Wikibooks policy, I would at least like that policy to be drawn to my attention and to have some constructive comment offered about which Wikiproject such a resource should fall under.

== [[Suicide]] ==
I realize this book has been nominated for deletion before ([[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide|1]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide (2)|2]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide/Suffocation|3]]), but it's been over ten years since the last nomination. The project's position on what material is in its educational scope has shifted, as have some of the facts on the ground.
* The chartered purpose of Wikibooks is to produce "open-content textbooks" (cf. [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?]]) which are suitable for use in an instructional environment. Providing educational information about suicide in the context of psychiatry could certainly be in scope, as psychiatry is an educational topic; however, instructional material on how to commit suicide is not an educational topic, and should not be considered in scope.
* This book is, and has always been, primarily intended as an instructional work guiding users on how to commit suicide. It provides effectively no meaningful analytical content ''about'' suicide as a topic. Most of the original content in the book was imported from an early-2000s wiki associated with the <code>alt.suicide.holiday</code> Usenet group, the "ASH wiki", which was specifically and unequivocally dedicated to describing and recommending methods by which readers could commit suicide, and this has carried through to the current version of the book.
* Most of the content in the book was removed in 2020 (by redirecting it to the book's main page, e.g. [[Special:Diff/3660495]]) over concerns that it was created by a WMF-banned user ([[User:Leucosticte]]), and because it was likely in violation of the ASH wiki's (unclear) copyright. These changes removed most of the content of the book; much of what remains is image gallery pages like [[Suicide/Blades]] which have no educational value.
Suicide is a sensitive topic; if it is covered by a textbook, it should be covered tastefully and with an aim to educate. This book is largely the opposite of that. Having it here is doing more harm than good.
If this book is deleted, the following related pages should be deleted as well:
* [[Template:Suicide methods]]
* [[Template:Infobox suicide method]] (currently unused)
* [[User:Leucosticte/About ASH]] - from the ASH wiki, as mentioned above
* [[User:Leucosticte/Frequently Asked Questions]] - also from the ASH wiki

: {{keep|weak keep}} a) Age is no argument. There are many stale underdeveloped books I would rather delete than keeping around. b) The book’s topic is exceptionally difficult to write about. ''This'' impedes collaborative authoring. c) The book does not really explain ''how'' to commit suicide (like a step‐by‐step guide), neither is it the book’s learning objective. d) Even if ''you construed'' the chapter summarizing various suicide methods ''as instructions'', instructional material on how to commit suicide ''is'' an educational topic. In most ''present‐day societies'' it is not ''ethical'' to teach students how to commit suicide, though. e) Therefore the correct path is to first alter the [[WB:WIW#Wikibooks includes instructional texts|project scope]] to censor books on ethical grounds ''and then'' nominate the book for censorship. ‑‑[[User:Kai Burghardt|Kai Burghardt]] ([[User talk:Kai Burghardt|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kai Burghardt|contribs]]) 04:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

There are a couple of issues here:
# Beyond their introductions, all of these books are written in languages which are not English, making them out of scope for the English Wikibooks.
# All but one of these books are in fact written in constructed languages, most of them in recently created conlangs. In some cases (e.g. [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]), I can't find any reliable sources describing the target language outside of the translation itself.
# Most of the translations (i.e. other than [[Salute, Jonathan!]] itself) were abandoned within the first five or so chapters (out of 100); none of them are complete, and there seems to be little effort to complete any of them.
While I recognize that this is an unusual project, and potentially one which could have some value, it's not at all clear to me that the English Wikibooks is the right place for it. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 00:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: I'm really not sure what to do about these ones. While I recognize that this approach is certainly one method of teaching a language, I'm not sure that it constitutes an educational textbook. We do require that the English Wikibooks be written in English—for language-learning books, this typically means that the instructional parts are in English while the exercises are in the language being taught. I do think that if the language doesn't have much supporting evidence outside the book itself, it can safely be deleted. — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 01:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: Author of the book here. I originally wanted to put it in the Interlingue Wikibooks https://ie.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principal_p%C3%A1gine but it somehow got locked when I wasn't paying attention and so I ended up putting it here. Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done. It's sort of in the same vein as books like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that have separate versions with teacher notes and whatnot. [[Salute, Jonathan!/Capitul 1 - with notes]] After it was done the auxlang community really took to it which was a nice surprise. I think Ido has the largest number of chapters at the moment at 15.
:If the vast content of this book could be used to justify a quick reopening of the Interlingue Wikibooks to move it there, I'd love to do that. I imagine that an incubator with 100+ book chapters would be enough to open a Wikibooks and that's what this is. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
: Ah, I just realized that we do have a proposal to reopen the Interlingue Wikibooks: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikibooks_Interlingue along with an Incubator page here. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wb/ie/Principal_p%C3%A1gine
: How easy would it be to migrate the entirety of Salute Jonathan to there? — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:: Hi @[[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]]! I'm not sure how incubator projects work, but I fully support migrating these books there. You may want to inquire over there and link to this discussion to support your request to move the content over there.

::: Hi! Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias.
::: So the idea is the following:
:::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest.
:::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua).
:::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere).
:::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo.
::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out.
::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Here are my responses/questions:
::::* Is the original [[Salute, Jonathan!]] (Occidental)? Since that one is quite fleshed out, I agree that if you edit it so the primary language of the book (e.g. headers, instructions, etc) are written in English while leaving the actual story in Occidental, it would be okay and fit in more with instructional language textbooks.
::::* For your points 2 and 3, I'm not sure how those other projects work, so I'll leave it up to them. I'm not quite sure why they would need to move, since in theory they could be revised with English as the language of instruction? Although, they have been left incomplete for a long time.
::::* For your point 4, I have no problem with that. Cheers! — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 16:51, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

: In particular, I could not find resources for Audià/Audian and Monav after searching through 15 and 17 pages on Google, respectively.

: I don't think that would be within the scope of that project.

:: In this situation there isn't a separate [[s:ie:]] distinct from Multilingual Wikisource (see [[meta:Wikisource#List of Wikisources]]). In fact, there are very few multilingual wikis in the Wikimedia sphere; while this project ''could'' move to a Miraheze-hosted or similar wiki farm location, I think it would be a missed opportunity. I suppose an [[Interlingue]] book could be started in [[shelf:Constructed languages]] which would have all 100 chapters as an appendix (and likewise for the other languages), but that also seems non-ideal since it requires an English-language text that doesn't currently exist to be created. [[WB:AT]] seems to describe a similar situation to this one and prescribe Wikisource as the solution, and [[WB:SOURCE]] mentions fiction as out-of-scope for Wikibooks (even as in this case, language-educational fiction). [[s:mul:Wikisource:about Wikisource]] simply speaks of source texts and doesn't mention publication requirements, so maybe that is specific to some of the monolingual editions? — [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arlo Barnes|contribs]]) 22:28, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

:These three books do make a package and I agree they should be considered together. However, I strongly object to deleting them. They are really extremely useful resources. I use them every week and I know that many people who do work on Old Chinese phonology do so. There are lots of books out there that are lists of characters, these are called dictionaries. For example Axel Schuessler's ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese, or Pulleyblank's Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation in Early Middle Chinese, Late Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. I see it as entirely a good thing for reference works of this kind to be available free online rather than only in expensive books in university research libraries. If this is in violation of a Wikibooks policy, I would at least like that policy to be drawn to my attention and to have some constructive comment offered about which Wikiproject such a resource should fall under.

::It seems that the idea behind the book was for the pages to be bilingual, as it’s a language learning book. That’s why there are Finnish texts included intentionally even on the pages that are complete. There are similar books in dewikibooks and ruwikibooks as well. For the English version, I think the easiest way to proceed would be to clean up and adjust the page layout to fit enwikibooks better, and then translate the missing parts. By the way, if anyone wants to update the book’s name in English, it can be titled ''"Using the Finnish Language"'' or ''"Put Finnish Language into Use"'' for a direct translation.

== [[Suicide]] ==
I realize this book has been nominated for deletion before ([[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide|1]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide (2)|2]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide/Suffocation|3]]), but it's been over ten years since the last nomination. The project's position on what material is in its educational scope has shifted, as have some of the facts on the ground.
* The chartered purpose of Wikibooks is to produce "open-content textbooks" (cf. [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?]]) which are suitable for use in an instructional environment. Providing educational information about suicide in the context of psychiatry could certainly be in scope, as psychiatry is an educational topic; however, instructional material on how to commit suicide is not an educational topic, and should not be considered in scope.
* This book is, and has always been, primarily intended as an instructional work guiding users on how to commit suicide. It provides effectively no meaningful analytical content ''about'' suicide as a topic. Most of the original content in the book was imported from an early-2000s wiki associated with the <code>alt.suicide.holiday</code> Usenet group, the "ASH wiki", which was specifically and unequivocally dedicated to describing and recommending methods by which readers could commit suicide, and this has carried through to the current version of the book.
* Most of the content in the book was removed in 2020 (by redirecting it to the book's main page, e.g. [[Special:Diff/3660495]]) over concerns that it was created by a WMF-banned user ([[User:Leucosticte]]), and because it was likely in violation of the ASH wiki's (unclear) copyright. These changes removed most of the content of the book; much of what remains is image gallery pages like [[Suicide/Blades]] which have no educational value.
Suicide is a sensitive topic; if it is covered by a textbook, it should be covered tastefully and with an aim to educate. This book is largely the opposite of that. Having it here is doing more harm than good.
If this book is deleted, the following related pages should be deleted as well:
* [[Template:Suicide methods]]
* [[Template:Infobox suicide method]] (currently unused)
* [[User:Leucosticte/About ASH]] - from the ASH wiki, as mentioned above
* [[User:Leucosticte/Frequently Asked Questions]] - also from the ASH wiki

: {{keep|weak keep}} a) Age is no argument. There are many stale underdeveloped books I would rather delete than keeping around. b) The book’s topic is exceptionally difficult to write about. ''This'' impedes collaborative authoring. c) The book does not really explain ''how'' to commit suicide (like a step‐by‐step guide), neither is it the book’s learning objective. d) Even if ''you construed'' the chapter summarizing various suicide methods ''as instructions'', instructional material on how to commit suicide ''is'' an educational topic. In most ''present‐day societies'' it is not ''ethical'' to teach students how to commit suicide, though. e) Therefore the correct path is to first alter the [[WB:WIW#Wikibooks includes instructional texts|project scope]] to censor books on ethical grounds ''and then'' nominate the book for censorship. ‑‑[[User:Kai Burghardt|Kai Burghardt]] ([[User talk:Kai Burghardt|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kai Burghardt|contribs]]) 04:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

==Introduction==
The number of known organic compounds is quite large. In fact, there are many times more organic compounds known than all the other (inorganic) compounds discovered so far, about 7 million organic compounds in total. Fortunately, organic chemicals consist of a relatively few similar parts, combined in different ways, that allow us to predict how a compound we have never seen before may react, by comparing how other molecules containing the same types of parts are known to react.
These parts of organic molecules are called '''functional groups'''. The identification of functional groups and the ability to predict reactivity based on functional group properties is one of the cornerstones of organic chemistry.
Functional groups are '''specific atoms, ions, or groups of atoms''' having consistent properties. A functional group makes up part of a larger molecule.
For example, '''-OH''', the hydroxyl group that characterizes alcohols, is an oxygen with a hydrogen attached. It could be found on any number of different molecules.
Just as elements have distinctive properties, functional groups have '''characteristic chemistries'''. An '''-OH''' group on one molecule will tend to react similarly, although perhaps not identically, to an '''-OH''' on another molecule.
'''Organic reactions usually take place at the functional group''', so learning about the reactivities of functional groups will prepare you to understand many other things about organic chemistry.
==Memorizing Functional Groups==
Don't assume that you can simply skim over the functional groups and move on. As you proceed through the text, the writing will be in terms of functional groups. It will be assumed that the student is familiar with most of the ones in the tables below. It's simply impossible to discuss chemistry without knowing the "lingo". It's like trying to learn French without first learning the meaning of some of the words.
One of the easiest ways to learn functional groups is by making flash cards. Get a pack of index cards and write the name of the functional group on one side, and draw its chemical representation on the other.
For now, a list of the most important ones you should know is provided here. Your initial set of cards should include, at the very least: Alkene, Alkyne, Alkyl halide (or Haloalkane), Alcohol, Aldehyde, Ketone, Carboxylic Acid, Acyl Chloride (or Acid Chloride), Ester, Ether, Amine, Sulfide, and Thiol. After you've learned all these, add a couple more cards and learn those. Then add a few more and learn those. Every functional group below is eventually discussed at one point or another in the book. But the above list will give you what you need to continue on.
And don't just look at the cards. Say and write the names and draw the structures. To test yourself, try going through your cards and looking at the names and then drawing their structure on a sheet of paper. Then try going through and looking at the structures and naming them. Writing is a good technique to help you memorize, because it is more active than simply reading. Once you have the minimal list above memorized backwards and forwards, you're ready to move on. But don't stop learning the groups. If you choose to move on without learning the "lingo", then you're not going to understand the language of the chapters to come. Again, using the French analogy, it's like trying to ignore learning the vocabulary and then picking up a novel in French and expecting to be able to read it.
===Functional groups containing ...===
In [[organic chemistry]] '''functional groups''' are submolecular structural motifs, characterized by specific elemental composition and connectivity, that confer reactivity upon the molecule that contains them.
Common functional groups include:

''Note: The table above is adapted from the Functional Groups table on [[w:Functional_groups|Wikipedia.]]''
Combining the names of functional groups with the names of the parent [[w:Alkanes|alkanes]] generates a powerful [[w:systematic name|systematic nomenclature]] for naming [[w:organic compound|organic compounds]].
The non-hydrogen atoms of functional groups are always associated with each by [[w:covalent bond|covalent bond]]s, as well as with the rest of the molecule. When the group of atoms is associated with the rest of the molecule primarily by ionic forces, the group is referred to more properly as a [[w:polyatomic ion|polyatomic ion]] or [[w:complex ion|complex ion]]. And all of these are called [[w:radical|radical]]s, by a meaning of the term ''radical'' that predates the [[w:free radical|free radical]].
The first carbon after the carbon that attaches to the functional group is called the [[w:alpha carbon|alpha carbon]].
Alcohol containing two hydroxyl groups are called glycols. They have both common names and IUPAC names.
==Mnemonics for Functional Groups==
These are possible mnemonics for the common functional groups.
<b>Vowels</b>: Remember the vowels "A", "E", and "Y" for Alkane, Alkene, and Alkyne. Alkanes have only single covalent bonds. Alkenes have at least one double bond. Alkynes have at least one triple bond. The letters "I", "O", and "U" are not used. Furthermore, "O" and "U" would result in awkward pronunciations.
<b>Alcohol</b>: Look for the "C-O-H" in "Alcohol."
<b>Ether</b>: Ethers were anesthetics used in the 1800s. Dr. Kellogg also lived at the same time. Corn Flakes are made by Kellogg's. A rooster or cock (C-O-C) is the cornflake mascot. Or, think there is a C on "either" side of the O.
<b>Amine</b>: Remember the "N" stands for nitrogen.
<b>Aldehyde</b>: This sounds like "Adelaide," the Australian city. Australia is at the end of the Asian islands, and aldehydes are at the end of the hydrocarbon chain. The "Y" indicates a C=O double bond.
<b>Ketone</b>: Imagine the diagonal strokes of "K" forming the C=O double bond. [[File:Ketone_Functional_Group_Mnemonic_K.png]]
<b>Carboxylic Acid</b>: "Box" stands for boxed wine or C-O-H, alcohol. The "Y" indicates a C=O double bond.
<b>Ester</b>: This sounds like "Estelle" George Costanza's mother in the TV show <u>Seinfeld</u>. George's nickname was Koko or Coco. So think of O=C-O-C.
<b>Amide</b>: Amine with a "D". D for double.

{{technique}}
'''Grilling is a fast, dry method of cookery which uses the intense heat radiated by an:'''
* electrical element,
* gas flame,
* glowing charcoal or an open wood fire.
The heat source can be either above or below the food (or both) and the heat, in the form of infra-red waves, is transferred to the surface of the food. Infra-red waves penetrate only about 1 mm into food (whereas microwave radiation penetrates about 40 mm/l½ in.)
Heat is transferred from the surface to the centre of the food by conduction. (If the food comes into contact with hot grill bars, which is almost certain to happen, there is also some conduction at the surface.)
It is important that the grill is preheated so that it reaches the high temperatures necessary for efficient infra-red radiation.
'''Grilling cooks fast because:'''
* very high temperatures are used
* the food can be positioned close to the heat source
* the energy passes from the heat source almost instantly, without having to be carried in a liquid or through much air.
How much heat the food absorbs depends on the colour of its surface: darker foods tend to absorb the infra-red more easily than light ones (which reflect some of the heat). This is the same effect as a black car getting hotter in the sun than a white car (or why a person in a white shirt stays cooler in the hot sun in the summer than the same person would wearing a black shirt.)
===Grilling and radiant heat===
When you put your hand near a hotplate or a room radiator or in direct sunlight the glow you feel is the result of infra-red heat radiation.
Infra-red radiation works without any physical contact between the source of heat and the object, but the energy is lost quickly because the rays spread out in all directions, so during cooking the object needs to be quite near the heat source.
The food is placed at a distance from the heat source which will brown the surface as required, while cooking the centre to the degree of doneness required. The best temperature for meat is in the range 150°-200°C (300°-390°F) at a distance of 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in.) from a typical overhead grill (which will be at a much higher temperature -around 1,000°C or 1,800°F).
===Browning===
Browning cannot occur at low temperatures, which is why food that is cooked at boiling point (as in steaming and microwaving) does not brown.
When the food is exposed to the radiant heat of a grill, the surface rapidly browns and develops an intense, full flavour.
In foods with a high sugar content, the sugar caramelises, first melting and then deepening in colour, and also creating a rich flavour (this is the same mechanism as the browning of [[Cookbook:Toast|toast]].
In foods such as cakes, meats, nuts and coffee beans, the carbohydrate part of the food reacts with other parts of it and the result is browning. This is sometimes called the Maillard reaction after the Frenchman who discovered how it happened.
With meats, the browning stage is sometimes called searing. It used to be thought that searing actually sealed the surface of the meat, but this is not the case.
===How to control the degree of cooking===
In grilling, the radiated heat is very intense and the surfaces of the food brown rapidly. But there is a big difference between the speed of cooking at the surface and inside the food, and it is important that surface browning occurs at about the same rate as the internal cooking.
In an overhead grill this means adjusting the distance of the food from the heat source and in a charcoal grill you might need to move the food to a cooler area after initial browning.
Otherwise it is easy to end up with food that is either charred on the outside and under-cooked or even quite cold on the inside or completely dried out, tough (even tender meat will toughen in these conditions) and burnt.
===Choice of food for grilling===
Only certain types of food are suitable for the intense dry heat of grilling.
In general they should be tender items which are:
* of good quality
* small (large joints of meat must be cut into thin slices or steaks)
* regular in shape to ensure even cooking.
Meat should have a reasonable fat content - veal escalopes, for example, are so lean that they will just dry out.
Tough cuts of meat are unsuitable for grilling, because the temperatures are too high, the conditions too dry and the time too short for the connective tissue to be converted into gelatin.
Tomatoes and mushrooms grill successfully, particularly if they are first brushed with oil, but vegetables with a low moisture content will rapidly dry out and shrivel.
== Charbroil Grilling ==
Charbroil grilling is done on some kind of ribbed surface or grill over direct, dry heat. The heat source used can vary. The most common heat sources are:
[[File:Barbecue_DSCF0013.JPG|right|thumb|266x266px]]
* Wood
* Charcoal
* Natural gas or propane
* Electricity
This method of cooking is very quick and easy.
==== Wood ====
Cooking over wood is very flavourful. Different woods are used to control the burn rate and temperature. In general, hard woods are burn slower and slightly cooler, while soft woods burn faster and slightly hotter. Wood needs to be dried and appropriately aged before use as a fuel. Cooking over wood can be very expensive, so usually wood chips are combined with some type of charcoal, which is very inexpensive and more readily obtainable. Charcoal also burns far more predictably than wood.
==== Charcoal ====
There are generally two types of charcoal you can purchase: briquettes and lump charcoal.
[[File:Charcoal_Briquette.JPG|right|thumb|200x200px]]
Briquettes are inexpensive and have a controlled and very predictable. You can buy them in most grocery stores. They come in heavy paper bag and consist of pillow-shaped pieces that contain everything from sawdust to sodium nitrate ("Chile saltpeter") to cow manure.
[[File:Charcoal.jpg|right|thumb|200x200px]]
Lump charcoal is also relatively inexpensive, and some varieties have a good, controlled burn rate. Many grocery stores are also starting to carry lump charcoal, which is usually comprised of pre-charred hardwood and contains nothing else. These usually impart a nice, smoky flavour to the food.
==== Meats ====
When cooking outdoors, it is extremely vital to cook any meat products thoroughly in order to eliminate any bacteria. The easiest way to accomplish proper and thorough cooking is through the use of a grilling thermometer which can be purchased at your local hardware store. In order to improve efficiency, a meat slicer may be used to thinly slice your meat before it is cooked.
When preparing meat, various spices and flavor enhancers may be added to improve the overall quality and taste of your meal. It is common to bathe chicken in a mixture of flavoring before cooking, allowing the uncooked meat to soak up the flavoring.
== Other meanings of the term ==
'''Grilling''' is also an ambiguous term that can mean:
===Double-sided [[Cookbook:Frying|Frying]]===
This would be done in a sandwich cooking device, similar to a [[Cookbook:Waffle Iron|waffle iron]] but preferably without the square bumps. The [[w:George_Foreman_Grill|George Foreman Grill]] works fairly well. The procedure is sometimes also known as toasting, as in the [[Cookbook:Toasted Cheese Sandwich|toasted cheese sandwich]].
===[[Cookbook:Broiling|Broiling]] (British English usage)===
Most British and European ovens are fitted with radiant grills: an overhead gas or electric radiant heating element cooks the food below, which lies on a "grill" or rack (the grill usually rests in a tray that catches drips from the food). The same term is also used to describe the cooking technique where food lying on a rack is cooked by radiant heat from below, as in a barbecue.
If no radiant grill is fitted, this is best done in an electric [[Cookbook:Oven|oven]], with the door partly open and only the top heating element in use. Gas ovens often provide a less-effective lower drawer for this purpose.
The same can be achieved outdoors by vertical grilling, using either stacks of charcoals or fires with high flames fed by standing pieces of thin and long burning-wood. The food will then be placed to receive infrared radiation from the side.
===[[Cookbook:Barbecuing|Barbecuing]]===
This cooking method uses fire. It is usually done outdoors on barbecue grills over wood, charcoal, or propane fires. In some areas, the term '''barbecuing''' is reserved for a slow low-heat cooking process that operates at about [[Cookbook:Oven Temperatures|220°F (105°C)]] and the term '''grilling''' is used for a fast high-heat cooking process. In other areas, all barbecuing is considered grilling and all grilling over a fire is considered barbecuing. Barbecuing is traditionally done with hardwoods or fruitwoods, such as hickory, maple, mesquite, and applewood, which gives a nice smoke flavor to the food.
The meats, fish or vegetables may be prepared by [[Cookbook:Marinating|marinating]] or by applying a combination of [[Cookbook:Spices|spices]] known as a [[Cookbook:Dry Rub|dry rub]]. Marinated meats can also be ‘mopped’ with the marinade while cooking. A [[Cookbook:Barbecue Sauce|barbecue sauce]] may be added before, during, or after cooking.
Barbecue also can mean a device for cooking such food, a social event at which such food is served, or any food served with barbecue sauce.

'''Barbecuing''' is cooking food slowly with relatively low heat and hardwood smoke. Spices, marinades or brines, and sauces may all be used in the food preparation process. [[Cookbook:Grilling|Grilling]] as a barbecue method is hotly debated in most of the US. In places like North Carolina and Texas where barbecue is part of their history and heritage, they believe grilling is not a barbecue method. Using different select hardwoods will infuse foods with distinct smoky flavors. Gas and electric smokers allow for more temperature control than smokers using charcoal or wood. In North Carolina, pork is traditionally barbecued while in Texas it is beef. However, for the common American, barbecue means pork.
== Meats and Cuts ==
If you're either cooking low and slow, or hot and fast, you'll want to pick a cut that's got a good amount of marbling. Good chicken cuts include: Whole leg quarters, thighs, drumsticks, wings, and whole butterflied chickens. Breasts can be dry and flavorless. Nice beef cuts: Tender steaks, flank, inside skirt, and briskets. Pork isn't that lucky though. See, before the fitness craze came, pigs were fat. In fact, the average pig had more fat than 50 chicken leg quarters. I actually got to taste that meat before it was gone. But, people crazy about fitness turned from pigs to poultry. Undaunted, pig breeders made the once juicy hog dry. Anyways, cuts that have the right stuff include Boston butts, ribs, and chops.
== Cooking ==
The type of barbecue cooking that you choose for a cut matters almost as much as the cut you pick. Cuts that like a long cook time in the smoker are Boston butts, ribs, beef brisket, chicken thighs and legs, wings, and whole chickens. Try to do a long smoke time with things like filet mignons, and you'll get something extremely mushy, like cat food. Cuts that like it hot and fast are: Pork chops, chicken breasts, steaks like ribeyes and strips, ahi tuna, fish, and shrimp.
'''Some recipes that use a smoker:'''
[[Cookbook:Pulled Pork Sandwiches|Pulled Pork]]
[[Cookbook:Memphis-Style BBQ Ribs|Memphis-Style BBQ Ribs]]
[[Cookbook:North Carolina-Style BBQ Ribs|North Carolina-Style BBQ Ribs]]
== Woods ==
Think all smoking woods are the same? Wrong! Each wood has its own flavor and character. However, if you use softwoods like cedar, pine, and spruce, you'll get toxic tars, resins, and creosote, which can kill! That's why you'll want to use hardwoods. I have a chart concerning flavor of smoke.
: Alder: Classic European smoking wood, doesn't overtake, complements meats with mild flavor and seafood such as trout.
: Applewood: Adds a cider-like flavor to meats and fish. Nicely complements items with honey, or meats such as chicken, pork, and lamb.
: Cherry: Fruity, tad bitter smoke that complements pork.
: Hickory: Classic American wood. Adds a sharp, woodsy flavor. Complements pork, chicken, seafood, and shrimp.
: Maple: Sweet maple syrup flavor. Complements almost everything.
: Mesquite: Gives a spicy Southwestern flair to beef. However, mesquite can overtake mild flavored meats like pork and chicken.
: Oak: Hot and slow burning wood, as a medium to heavy flavor without overpowering. Generally used for lamb and beef.
: Peachwood: Sweet fruity flavor. Complements pork, chicken, salmon, trout, and shrimp.

'''Barbecuing''' is cooking food slowly with relatively low heat and hardwood smoke. Spices, marinades or brines, and sauces may all be used in the food preparation process. [[Cookbook:Grilling|Grilling]] as a barbecue method is hotly debated in most of the US. In places like North Carolina and Texas where barbecue is part of their history and heritage, they believe grilling is not a barbecue method. Using different select hardwoods will infuse foods with distinct smoky flavors. Gas and electric smokers allow for more temperature control than smokers using charcoal or wood. In North Carolina, pork is traditionally barbecued while in Texas it is beef. However, for the common American, barbecue means pork.
== Meats and Cuts ==
If you're either cooking low and slow, or hot and fast, you'll want to pick a cut that's got a good amount of marbling. Good chicken cuts include: Whole leg quarters, thighs, drumsticks, wings, and whole butterflied chickens. Breasts can be dry and flavorless. Nice beef cuts: Tender steaks, flank, inside skirt, and briskets. Pork isn't that lucky though. See, before the fitness craze came, pigs were fat. In fact, the average pig had more fat than 50 chicken leg quarters. I actually got to taste that meat before it was gone. But, people crazy about fitness turned from pigs to poultry. Undaunted, pig breeders made the once juicy hog dry. Anyways, cuts that have the right stuff include Boston butts, ribs, and chops.
== Cooking ==
The type of barbecue cooking that you choose for a cut matters almost as much as the cut you pick. Cuts that like a long cook time in the smoker are Boston butts, ribs, beef brisket, chicken thighs and legs, wings, and whole chickens. Try to do a long smoke time with things like filet mignons, and you'll get something extremely mushy, like cat food. Cuts that like it hot and fast are: Pork chops, chicken breasts, steaks like ribeyes and strips, ahi tuna, fish, and shrimp.
'''Some recipes that use a smoker:'''
[[Cookbook:Pulled Pork Sandwiches|Pulled Pork]]
[[Cookbook:Memphis-Style BBQ Ribs|Memphis-Style BBQ Ribs]]
[[Cookbook:North Carolina-Style BBQ Ribs|North Carolina-Style BBQ Ribs]]
== Woods ==
Think all smoking woods are the same? Wrong! Each wood has its own flavor and character. However, if you use softwoods like cedar, pine, and spruce, you'll get toxic tars, resins, and creosote, which can kill! That's why you'll want to use hardwoods. I have a chart concerning flavor of smoke.
: Alder: Classic European smoking wood, doesn't overtake, complements meats with mild flavor and seafood such as trout.
: Applewood: Adds a cider-like flavor to meats and fish. Nicely complements items with honey, or meats such as chicken, pork, and lamb.
: Cherry: Fruity, tad bitter smoke that complements pork.
: Hickory: Classic American wood. Adds a sharp, woodsy flavor. Complements pork, chicken, seafood, and shrimp.
: Maple: Sweet maple syrup flavor. Complements almost everything.
: Mesquite: Gives a spicy Southwestern flair to beef. However, mesquite can overtake mild flavored meats like pork and chicken.
: Oak: Hot and slow burning wood, as a medium to heavy flavor without overpowering. Generally used for lamb and beef.
: Peachwood: Sweet fruity flavor. Complements pork, chicken, salmon, trout, and shrimp.
I hope we've inspired you to take your grill or smoker out of the shadows and fire it up.

== Wishlist 2027, invitation to share feedback ==
Hi, I’m [[m:User:SPerry-WMF|Sonja]] and I lead some of the [[mw:Contributors|teams]] at the Foundation who will be responsible for picking up wish work under the new wishlist process.
As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically.
In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver.
I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process:
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting
** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized
** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention
This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger.
Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below.
For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November. To respect the end-of-year holiday season, voting would happen in early to mid January. This first voting cycle is meant as a first step to try out a new process, and there will be more opportunities to provide feedback along the way, so that we can figure out the best process for future years together.
[[oldwikisource:M:User:SPerry-WMF|SPerry-WMF]], delivered by [[User:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Trizek (WMF)|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Trizek (WMF)|contribs]]) 13:52, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
:Thank you to everyone who engaged in the discussion around [[m:Talk:Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|the proposal from August 26]].

If it is for texbooks why is it called Wikibooks? It should be called Wikitextbooks! If it is for textbooks why does it contain cookbooks?

== Wishlist 2027, invitation to share feedback ==
Hi, I’m [[m:User:SPerry-WMF|Sonja]] and I lead some of the [[mw:Contributors|teams]] at the Foundation who will be responsible for picking up wish work under the new wishlist process.
As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically.
In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver.
I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process:
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting
** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized
** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention
This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger.
Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below.
For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November. To respect the end-of-year holiday season, voting would happen in early to mid January. This first voting cycle is meant as a first step to try out a new process, and there will be more opportunities to provide feedback along the way, so that we can figure out the best process for future years together.

==Elements And Atoms==
The elements (simplest chemical substances) found in an animal’s body are all made of basic building blocks or atoms. The most common elements found in cells are given in the table below with the symbol that is used to represent them.
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 200px; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; text-align: center;"
! Element || Symbol
|-
| Calcium || Ca
|-
| Carbon || C
|-
| Chlorine || Cl
|-
| Copper || Cu
|-
| Iodine || I
|-
| Hydrogen || H
|-
| Iron || Fe
|-
| Magnesium || Mg
|-
| Nitrogen || N
|-
| Oxygen || O
|-
| Phosphorous || P
|-
| Potassium || K
|-
| Sodium || Na
|-
| Sulphur || S
|-
| Zinc || Zn
|}
==Compounds And Molecules==
A '''molecule''' is formed when two or more '''atoms''' join together. A compound is formed when two or more different elements combine in a fixed ratio by mass.
Note that some atoms are never found alone. For example '''oxygen''' is always found as molecules of 2 oxygen atoms (represented as O<sub>2</sub>).
The table below gives some common compounds.
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 300px; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; text-align: center;"
! Compound || Symbol
|-
| Calcium carbonate || CaCO<sub>3</sub>
|-
| Carbon dioxide || CO<sub>2</sub>
|-
| Copper sulphate || CuSO<sub>4</sub>
|-
| Glucose || C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>
|-
| Hydrochloric acid || HCl
|-
| Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) || NaHCO<sub>3</sub>
|-
| Sodium chloride (table salt) || NaCl
|-
| Sodium hydroxide || NaOH
|-
| Water || H<sub>2</sub>O
|}
==Chemical Reactions==
Reactions occur when atoms combine or separate from other atoms. In the process new products with different chemical properties are formed.
Chemical reactions can be represented by '''chemical equations'''. The starting atoms or compounds are usually put on the left-hand side of the equation and the products on the right-hand side.
For example
* H<sub>2</sub>O + CO<sub>2</sub> gives H<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>
* or H<sub>2</sub>O + CO<sub>2</sub> = H<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>
* Water + Carbon dioxide gives Carbonic acid
==Ionization==
When some atoms dissolve in water they become charged particles called '''ions'''. Some become positively charged ions and others negatively charged. Ions may have one, two or sometimes three charges.
The table below shows examples of positively and negatively charged ions with the number of their charges.
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 300px; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; text-align: center;"
! colspan="2" | Positive Ions
! colspan="2" | Negative Ions
|-
| H+ || Hydrogen || Cl- ||Chloride
|-
| Ca<sup>2</sup>+ || Calcium || OH- || Hydroxyl
|-
| Na+ || Sodium || HCO<sub>3</sub>- || Bicarbonate
|-
| K+ || Potassium || CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2</sup>- || Carbonate
|-
| Mg<sup>2</sup>+ || Magnesium || SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2</sup>- || Sulphate
|-
| Fe<sup>2</sup>+ || Iron (ferrous) || PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3</sup>- || Phosphate
|-
| Fe<sup>3</sup>+ || Iron (ferric) || S<sup>2</sup>- || Sulphide
|}
Positive and negative ions attract one another to hold compounds together.
Ions are important in cells because they conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Substances that ionise in this way are known as '''electrolytes'''.
The molecules in an animal’s body fall into two groups: '''inorganic compounds''' and '''organic compounds'''. The difference between these is that the first type does not contain '''carbon''' and the second type does.
==Organic And Inorganic Compounds==
Inorganic compounds include water, sodium chloride, potassium hydroxide and calcium phosphate.
'''Water''' is the most abundant inorganic compound, making up over 60% of the volume of cells and over 90% of body fluids like blood. Many substances dissolve in water and all the chemical reactions that take place in the body do so when dissolved in water. Other inorganic molecules help keep the '''acid/base balance (pH)''' and concentration of the blood and other body fluids stable (see Chapter 8).
Organic compounds include '''carbohydrates, proteins''' and '''fats''' or '''lipids'''. All organic molecules contain carbon atoms and they tend to be larger and more complex molecules than inorganic ones. This is largely because each carbon atom can link with four other atoms. Organic compounds can therefore consist of from one to many thousands of carbon atoms joined to form chains, branched chains and rings (see diagram below). All organic compounds also contain hydrogen and they may also contain other elements.
[[Image:Anatomy and physiology of animals-organic compounds.jpg|center]]
==Carbohydrates==
The name “carbohydrate” tells you something about the composition of these “hydrated carbon” compounds. They contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and like water (H<sub>2</sub>O), there are always twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms in each molecule. Carbohydrates are a large and diverse group that includes sugars, starches, glycogen and cellulose. Carbohydrates in the diet supply an animal with much of its energy and in the animal’s body, they transport and store energy.
Carbohydrates are divided into three major groups based on size: '''monosaccharides''' (single sugars), '''disaccharides''' (double sugars) and '''polysaccharides''' (multi sugars).
'''Monosaccharides''' are the smallest carbohydrate molecules. The most important monosaccharide is glucose which supplies much of the energy in the cell. It consists of a ring of 6 carbon atoms with oxygen and hydrogen atoms attached.
'''Disaccharides''' are formed when 2 monosaccharides join together. Sucrose (table sugar), maltose, and lactose (milk sugar), are three important disaccharides. They are broken down to monosaccharides by digestive enzymes in the gut.
'''Polysaccharides''' like starch, glycogen and cellulose are formed by tens or hundreds of monosaccharides linking together. Unlike mono- and di-saccharides, polysaccharides are not sweet to taste and most do not dissolve in water.

}}
:* '''Starch''' is the main molecule in which plants store the energy gained from the sun. It is found in grains like barley and roots like potatoes.
:* '''Glycogen''', the polysaccharide used by animals to store energy, is found in the liver and the muscles that move the skeleton.
:* '''Cellulose''' forms the rigid cell walls of plants. Its structure is similar to glycogen, but it can’t be digested by mammals. Cows and horses can eat cellulose with the help of bacteria which live in specialised parts of their gut.
[[Image:Anatomy and physiology of animals-Polysaccharides.jpg|center]]
==Fats==
'''Fats''' or '''lipids''' are important in the plasma membrane around cells and form the insulating fat layer under the skin. They are also a highly concentrated source of energy, and when eaten in the diet provide more than twice as much energy per gram as either carbohydrates or proteins.
Like carbohydrates, fats contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but unlike them, there is no
particular relationship between the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
The fats and oils animals eat in their diets are called '''triglycerides''' or '''neutral fats'''. The building blocks of triglycerides are 3 '''fatty acids''' attached to a backbone of '''glycerol''' ('''glycerine'''). When fats are eaten the digestive enzymes break down the molecules into separate fatty acids and glycerol again.
'''Fatty acids''' are divided into two kinds: '''saturated''' and '''unsaturated fatty acids''' depending on if they contain much (saturation) or little (unsaturation) hydrogen in their composition, and whether any there is at least one double bond (saturation) between carbons or not (unsaturation). The fat found in animals bodies and in dairy products contains mainly saturated fatty acids and tends to be solid at room temperature. Fish and poultry fats and plant oils contain mostly unsaturated fatty acids and are more liquid at room temperature.
'''Phospholipids''' are lipids that contain a phosphate group. They are important in the plasma membrane of the cell.
[[Image:Triglyceride.JPG|left]]
[[Image:Chain of amino acids.jpg|center]]
==Proteins==
'''Proteins''' are the third main group of organic compounds in the cell - in fact, if you dried out a cell, you would find that about 2/3 of the dry dust you were left with would consist of protein. Like carbohydrates and fats, proteins contain C, H and O, but all also contain '''nitrogen'''. Many also contain '''sulphur''' and '''phosphorus'''.
In the cell, proteins are an important part of the plasma membrane of the cell, but their most essential role is as '''enzymes'''. These are molecules that act as biological catalysts and are necessary for biochemical reactions to proceed. Protein is also found as '''keratin''' in the skin, feathers and hair, in muscles, as well as in antibodies and some hormones.
Proteins are built up of long chains of smaller molecules called '''amino acids'''. There are 20 common types of amino acid and different numbers of these arranged in different orders create the multitude of individual proteins that exist in an animal’s body.
Long chains of amino acids often link with other amino acid chains and the resulting protein molecule may twist, spiral and fold up to make a complex 3-dimensional shape. As an example, see the diagram of the protein lysozyme below. Believe it or not, this is a small and relatively simple protein.
[[Image:Protein conformation.jpg|center]]
It is this shape that determines how proteins behave in cells, particularly when they are acting as enzymes. If for any reason this shape is altered, the protein stops working. This is what happens if proteins are heated or put in a solution that is too acidic or alkaline. Think what happens to the “white’” of an egg when it is cooked. The “white” contains the protein albumin, which is changed or “'''denatured'''” permanently by cooking. The catastrophic effect that heat has on enzymes is one of the reasons animals die if exposed to high temperatures.
In the animal’s diet, proteins are found in meat (muscle), dairy products, seeds, nuts and legumes like soya. When the enzymes in the gut digest proteins they break them down into the separate amino acids, which are small enough to be absorbed into the blood.
==Summary==
* '''Ions''' are charged particles, and '''electrolytes''' are solutions of ions in water.
* '''Carbohydrates''' are made of carbon with hydrogen and oxygen (in the same ratio as water) linked together. The cell mainly uses carbohydrates for energy.
* '''Fats''' are also made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are a powerful energy source, and are also used for insulation.
* '''Proteins''' are the building materials of the body, and as '''enzymes''' make cell reactions happen. They contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
* Many also contain sulphur and phosphorous.

'''Appalachian barren strawberry''' (''Waldsteinia fragarioides'', syn. ''Geum fragarioides''), also known as Barren strawberry or Northern barren strawberry, is a low-growing, herbaceous groundcover grown for its semi evergreen foliage and yellow spring flowers. The "barren" in the name refers to its producing small, dry, inedible achenes rather than the fleshy, sweet fruits of true strawberries.
==Description==
Appalachian barren strawberry is a perennial herb growing 3 to 6 inches tall and spreading via shallow, subsurface rhizomes. It produces glossy, trifoliate leaves with wedge-shaped, toothed leaflets that mimic true strawberry foliage, turning a rich bronze-red or purple hue during the winter months. In mid-spring to early summer, leafless stalks lift clusters of 5-petaled, bright yellow flowers adorned with distinct golden stamens. Unlike true strawberries, its styles are not persistent or hooked, and its fruit is a dry, non-fleshy cluster of achenes.
Recent phylogenetic data published in 2023 examining nuclear and plastid DNA confirmed that while this species shares close evolutionary links to the broader ''Geum'' lineage (known historically as ''Geum s.l.''), it preserves a highly distinct monophyletic lineage that warrants maintaining ''Waldsteinia'' as a completely separate genus.
==Growing Conditions==
* '''Sun:''' Performs best in partial shade to full shade. It can tolerate full sun in cool northern climates if soil moisture remains consistent, but it dislikes hot, humid southern summers.
* '''Soil:''' Prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil containing loam, clay, or rocky material. It has a notable preference for slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (5.5 to 7.0).
* '''Moisture:''' Thrives with medium moisture from fall through spring, but demonstrates high drought tolerance once its root systems are fully established.
==Nursery Trade Confusion==
''Waldsteinia fragarioides'' is extensively confused in the commercial horticulture market with its Eurasian counterpart, ''Waldsteinia ternata'' (Siberian barren strawberry).
Because Eurasian ''Waldsteinia ternata'' generates more aggressive above-ground stolons (runners) that readily root at nodes, commercial wholesale growers can propagate it rapidly and easily with minimal labor. By contrast, the native ''Waldsteinia fragarioides'' lacks above-ground runners entirely, creeping slowly via underground rhizomes. Because of this structural difference in growth speed, the fast-growing Eurasian look-alike has accidentally flooded the North American retail industry and has been widely grown, distributed, and sold under mislabeled "native" ''Waldsteinia fragarioides'' tags.
The two look-alikes can be reliably differentiated via fine-scale physical and behavioral markers:
* '''Petal Structure:''' Native ''W. fragarioides'' features narrow, widely separated yellow petals showing clear green gaps. Eurasian ''W. ternata'' features broad, overlapping petals.
* '''Calyx Anatomy:''' The native species completely lacks an epicalyx (possessing only 5 smooth primary sepals). The Eurasian species features a conspicuous epicalyx consisting of 5 extra minor secondary bractlets situated between the primary sepals.
* '''Leaf Margins:''' The native leaf tips are shallowly rounded and scalloped (crenate), whereas the Eurasian foliage displays sharp, jagged, and heavily serrated margins.
* '''Growth Habit and Spread:''' Native ''W. fragarioides'' forms a slow, controlled clump that expands strictly via subterranean runners. Eurasian ''W. ternata'' acts as a more rapid groundcover that weaves over the soil surface utilizing visible stolons.
==Uses==
This non-aggressive native groundcover serves as an excellent "green mulch" for weed suppression along garden borders, pathways, rocky slopes, and woodland restoration zones. It is highly effective for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion on shady banks.
==Conservation Status==
Appalachian barren strawberry is wide-ranging but locally uncommon across eastern North America. Due to continuous habitat loss and development pressures within its native woodland ranges, it is legally protected across several states, carrying an official designation as an '''Endangered Species''' in Connecticut,<ref>''Connecticut's Endangered, Threatened and Special Concern Species 2015''. State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Bureau of Natural Resources. Retrieved 14 May 2018.</ref> Illinois, and Maine. It is listed as threatened in New Hampshire, as a special concern in Massachusetts, and is considered rare in Indiana.
==Maintenance==
This plant requires exceptionally low maintenance. Applying a uniform layer of organic mulch around the perimeter during its first year helps retain required soil moisture and protects the shallow crown from lifting during extreme winter frost-heaves. Once established, it requires no routine pruning or deadheading.
==Propagation==
* '''By Division:''' The most efficient method for the home garden. Established clumps can be cleanly cut with a spade to sever the connecting subterranean rhizomes. Individual plantlets should be dug out and spaced 6 to 12 inches apart in late winter or early spring.
* '''By Seed:''' Seeds require a mandatory 30-day period of cold, moist stratification to mimic natural winter dormancy. Sow stratified seeds shallowly in flats during early spring.
==Harvest==
This plant does not yield any usable food products, textile elements, or consumer crops.
==Pests and Diseases==
Appalachian barren strawberry boasts outstanding resistance to deer and rabbits, and exhibits no significant vulnerability to major plant pathogens. Its low-growing foliage canopy can occasionally harbor slugs during periods of prolonged, hyper-humid summer rainfall.

'''Ukrainian borshch''' is a vegetable [[Cookbook:Soup|soup]] with beetroots as its characteristic ingredient. It is an everyday and ritual dish, known since at least the early Kyiv Rus times. Borshch is very nourishing, especially if you cook it with meat, so it is normally eaten for dinner. Ukrainians are known for eating this hearty vegetable soup with pork as a morning pick-me-up and then again three times throughout the day! A plate of hot Borscht in winter will warm you up and in summer it will be very refreshing if you eat it cold.
There are different types of borshch, and the choice of ingredients varies based on the region or simply on what your fridge offers. The most common are broth, red beets, cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, beans, onion, garlic, and beet [[Cookbook:Kvass|kvass]]. One popular variety of borshch is Ukrainian borshch, which is usually made with red beets and served hot with sour cream. Another variety is green borshch, which is made in spring and summer when there are new plants, and a third common variety is cold borshch (''holodnyk''), which is made usually during the summer and served cold.[[File:Ukrainian Borscht Ingredients.jpg|thumb|308x308px|Ingredients]]
==Ingredients==
*½ [[Cookbook:Cup|cup]] dried [[Cookbook:Beans|beans]], soaked in water overnight
*2–3 [[Cookbook:Pound|pounds]] [[Cookbook:Pork|pork]] or [[Cookbook:Beef|beef]]
*3 cups water
*1 large or 2 medium [[Cookbook:Beet|beets]], peeled and [[Cookbook:Julienne|julienne]]
*2 [[Cookbook:Tablespoon|tbsp]] [[Cookbook:Vegetable oil|vegetable oil]]
*1 [[Cookbook:Onion|onion]], peeled and [[Cookbook:Dice|diced]]
*3 [[Cookbook:Carrot|carrots]], peeled and diced
*Green [[Cookbook:Bell Pepper|bell pepper]], diced
*[[Cookbook:Tomato|Tomatoes]], diced
*2 [[Cookbook:Potato|potatoes]], cut into thick [[Cookbook:Slicing|slices]]
*Herbs and spices: [[Cookbook:Salt|salt]], [[Cookbook:Bay Leaf|bay leaf]], [[Cookbook:Black Pepper|black pepper]], [[Cookbook:Red pepper flakes|red pepper flakes]], [[Cookbook:Thyme|thyme]]
*½ small [[Cookbook:Cabbage|cabbage]], thinly sliced
*3 ounces salted pork fat or bacon
*2 cloves [[Cookbook:Garlic|garlic]]
*2 tbsp chopped [[Cookbook:Dill|dill]]
*½ cup plain [[Cookbook:Yogurt|yoghurt]]
*⅓ cup of [[Cookbook:Tomato Paste|tomato paste]]
*[[Cookbook:Sour Cream|Sour cream]]
==Procedure==
# Drain the soaked beans and put aside.
# Place the meat in a large pot, and add 3 cups of cold water.
# Bring to a [[Cookbook:Boiling|boil]] slowly and remove scum.
# Add half of the onion and 2 carrots.
# Reduce to a [[Cookbook:Simmering|simmer]], partially cover the pot, and cook for about 1 hour.
# When done, add the beets and beans, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender.
# In the vegetable oil, [[Cookbook:Sweat|sweat]] half of the onion, carrots, and green pepper over low heat until the onions are yellow.
# Scrape into the pot, and simmer for a few minutes. Scrape in tomatoes, potatoes, and spices, and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
# Add the cabbage and simmer until it has the consistency you like.
# In the meantime, chop the garlic, dill, and pork fat (or bacon) in the [[Cookbook:Food Processor|food processor]], whisking in the yoghurt at the end.
# When the cabbage is the way you like it, add tomato paste and the garlic-dill-fat mixture.
# Return the pot to a simmer, then cover the pot, turn the heat off, and let the flavors mingle for at least 30 minutes.
# When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and top the soup with a dollop of sour cream on top.
== Notes, tips, and variations ==
* Use clean filtered or natural water.
* Cook all vegetables over low heat in a covered pot.
* Beets can be stewed separately with a little amount of beet kvass and vegetable oil before adding the broth. Then add them to all other ingredients 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
* The best meat for borshch is fat beef with bones.
* Often dried white [[Cookbook:Mushroom|mushrooms]] are added, but you can use any other dried mushrooms.
* Garlic can also be mashed with a slice of fat bacon and added to the prepared borshch.
* Do not be afraid of putting too much cabbage into the pot. Beside the beetroot, it is the main ingredient of Borscht and it makes the soup thick, which is characteristic of good Borscht.
* Use a large pot for your borscht.
* If you have leftovers, simply eat them the next day. Your soup will even taste better than the day before.
* If you are short of time, buy tinned beans instead of soaking the dried ones overnight. They do not need to be cooked; just add them when your borshch is ready.

Black stakes a claim to the centre. Their d-pawn threatens to come to d4 and unseat White's knight.
If [[/2. d4|'''2. d4''']], that danger is prevented. The game transposes into a version of the closed game where White's knight obstructs the usual move c4. No matter: White can try a Jobava-London system (Bf4) or Richter-Veresov attack (Bg5) instead.
[[/2. e4|'''2. e4''']] is more common, allowing 2...d4, which White answers with the manoeuvre Ne2 & Ng3.

__NOTOC__{{split}}
You can houseclean. Domestic maintenance and residential cleaning can be pursued for various purposes, including physical exercise, personal task accomplishment, and the psychological benefits associated with inhabiting an orderly space.<ref>Mendelson, Cheryl (2005). ''Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House''. Simon & Schuster. ISBN 978-0743272803.</ref> Within the structural methodology of household cleaning, the preliminary phase requires systematic decluttering and organizing (order) before executing any deeper sanitization tasks. This process is dual-natured: it demands not only the immediate collection and disposal of indoor litter and refuse, but predominantly the methodical returning of displaced items to their designated storage locations.<ref>Spurgeon, Maureen (2001). ''The Complete Guide to Housekeeping''. Grange Books. ISBN 978-1840134018.</ref> Establishing correct spatial categorization is a prerequisite to clearing surface areas, minimizing structural friction, and optimizing subsequent cleaning workflows.
==[[/Indoor Litter|Throw away indoor litter]]==
Put on rubber gloves, grab a plastic trash bag or some paper bags, and throw away the litter. Do this first because it’s easy to decide where to put litter.
==Declutter==
Pick up an empty laundry basket, box, tote, or bucket. Place items that do not belong in the room in the basket. Move to the next room. Remove items that belong in the room and put them away. Pick up the items that do not belong in the room, place them in the basket, and move to the next room. Once you have moved through the house twice, everything should be in the right place.
Put books back on the book shelf. Put dirty dishes in the dishwasher or sink. Put dirty clothes in the hamper. Hangs up coats and so forth.
If you notice useless junk, recycle it or throw it away. If you notice clutter you could sell or donate someplace, remember to do so after you clean it.
==Dust==
Get some dust cloths and wipe the furniture and other hard surfaces to remove the dust. Use the upholstery nozzle on the vacuum cleaner’s hose to dust drapery and fabric furniture. Vacuum the carpet with the rotating brushes flicking it. Vacuum other floors with the brushes up, or use a dust mop.
==Wash surfaces, clothes & dishes==
Choose the right cleaning solution for the job at hand. You don't need a lot of expensive products. You can clean with natural products that are good for the environment and your health as well. Bonus---they're cheap. Consider using:
*Distilled (White) vinegar for cleaning most hard surfaces (use caution when using on natural stone) could damage some marble,granite etc...
*Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) for scrubbing away tougher stains.
*Hydrogen peroxide for removing stains on fabrics. (test first in small area)
*Rubbing alcohol for sticky messes and for glass. (test first in small area)
== Bed-making ==
The execution of standard bed-making routines constitutes a primary catalyst for establishing micro-spatial order and visual symmetry within residential interiors.<ref>Mendelson, Cheryl (2005). ''Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House''. Simon & Schuster. ISBN 978-0743272803.</ref> This sequence follows precise mechanical phases to optimize mattress coverage and ensure immediate surface tension:<ref>Spurgeon, Maureen (2001). ''The Complete Guide to Housekeeping''. Grange Books. ISBN 978-1840134018.</ref>
# Tensioning the Fitted Sheet: Secure the perimeter by anchoring the elastic contours underneath the four mattress corners.
# Aligning the Flat Top Sheet: Spread the sheet evenly across the mattress surface, aligning the top header with the headboard. If blankets or duvets are required, stack them symmetrically and fold the upper section of the flat sheet over them to create a clean protective header (the embozo).
# Tucking and Envelope Corners (Hospital Corners): Secure the lateral and foot margins beneath the mattress base utilizing tight, diagonal geometric folds to prevent slippage during rest.
# Pillow and Covering Adjustment: Fluff and position pillows upright against the headboard, and smooth down the external bedspread or comforter to eliminate top surface friction.
==Kitchen==
===Dishes===
It may seem counter intuitive, but dishwashers use less water and energy than washing by hand. The dishwasher will also sanitize your dishes if you use heated dry.
To hand-wash dishes, start by cleaning the sink/basin with vinegar or a commercial cleaning solution. You'll never get clean dishes from a dirty sink. Place the drain plug in the sink, fill it with the hottest water your skin can handle. While the sink is filling add a teaspoon of dish detergent or soap. Scrape food particles from the dishes into the compost bin, garbage, or garbage disposal. Place the dishes in the soap and water solution. If the water is too hot, tidy the kitchen until the water is cool enough to handle. Wash the dishes thoroughly on both sides. If you have a double-basin sink, place the plug in the drain of the second basin and neatly stack the dishes in it as you wash them. Fill the second basin with the hottest water possible. Allow the dishes to sit in the hot water for a few minutes to help sanitize them. Once the water is cool enough to handle, remove the dishes from the second basin, dry them and place them in the dish rack to air dry. Wash dishes and serving pieces first, then pots and pans. If you are working with a single-basin sink, wash all of the dishes, drain the basin, then refill the basin with the hottest water possible, allow the dishes to sit in the hot water for a few minutes, then remove and dry them.
==Bathroom==
===Daily===
Clean the following items <u>in order</u> with vinegar or all-surfaces cleaner in a spray bottle and a soft cloth.
*Mirror
*Light switch plate
*Doorknob on both sides of the door
*Faucet(make it sparkle) drying with soft cloth can make it happen
*Countertop and basin/sink
*Toilet flush handle
*Toilet tank cover
*Toilet lid
*Toilet seat
*Toilet rim
*Misfires from your boys and grown men (alternatively, ask them to always seat on the toilet at home, just like the women do).
*Brush interior of toilet bowl with a toilet brush.
*clean behind and floor behind also
If you do this daily it will take five minutes or less, and make your weekly cleaning tasks much easier.
==Laundry ==
Here’s a super simple, beginner-friendly guide to doing laundry from start to finish — no experience needed:
----
=== Step 1: Gather Everything ===
* '''Clothes:''' Collect all the dirty clothes, towels, and sheets.
* '''Check labels:''' Inside most clothes is a small white care tag that says things like “cold wash only,” “tumble dry low,” or “hand wash.”
* '''Empty pockets:''' Coins, pens, and tissues can ruin a load.
----
=== Step 2: Sort the Laundry ===
This prevents colors from bleeding and clothes from wearing out too fast.
* '''Lights:''' Whites, light grays, pastels.
* '''Darks:''' Blacks, blues, reds, dark greens.
* '''Delicates:''' Lingerie, silk, or anything that says “delicate” or “hand wash.”
* '''Towels & Bedding:''' Wash these separately — they need hotter water and longer cycles.
----
=== Step 3: Add Detergent ===
* Use '''liquid or pod detergent''' made for washing machines.
* For regular loads, use the cap line that says “1” or “medium load.”
* Too much detergent leaves residue; too little won’t clean well.
* If using pods, toss one directly '''into the drum before''' adding clothes.
''(If your machine has separate dispensers, the lid or tray is usually labeled “Detergent,” “Softener,” and “Bleach.”)''
----
=== Step 4: Load the Washer ===
* Don’t overstuff — leave about a hand’s width of space at the top.
* Close the lid or door securely.
----
=== Step 5: Choose Settings ===
Most washers have a dial or digital menu:
* '''Water Temp:'''
** ''Cold:'' Dark colors and delicate fabrics.
** ''Warm:'' Everyday clothes.
** ''Hot:'' Towels, sheets, heavily soiled clothes.
* '''Cycle Type:'''
** ''Normal/Regular:'' Most clothes.
** ''Delicate/Gentle:'' Light fabrics.
** ''Heavy Duty:'' Towels, jeans.
Then press '''Start'''.
----
=== Step 6: Move Clothes to the Dryer ===
* Take them out promptly when the wash cycle ends.
* Clean the '''lint trap''' (the screen inside the dryer door or top edge).
* Choose a setting:
** ''Normal/High Heat:'' Towels, jeans.
** ''Medium/Low Heat:'' Everyday clothes.
** ''Air Dry/No Heat:'' Delicates or anything you don’t want to shrink.
* Press '''Start'''.
----
=== Step 7: Fold or Hang ===
* Take clothes out as soon as they’re dry to prevent wrinkles.
* Fold or hang them right away.
----
=== Optional Extras ===
* '''Fabric softener:''' Makes clothes smell good and feel softer.
* '''Dryer sheets:''' Reduce static cling.
* '''Air drying:''' Hang clothes on a rack if you prefer no dryer.
=== Drying Protocols ===
To preserve fiber longevity and minimize structural deformation across all domestic laundry batches, textiles require controlled heat parameters during evaporation. Industrial calenders and domestic tumble dryers should be set to low or medium thermal thresholds, as excessive heat damages woven cotton matrices, triggers contraction, and bakes static creases into fabrics.<ref>Stewart, Martha (2002). ''Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home''. Clarkson Potter. ISBN 978-0517594124.</ref> Furthermore, all garments and linens must be extracted promptly at the end of the drying cycle while still holding residual thermal energy; executing the subsequent folding process while the fibers remain warm drastically neutralizes internal tension and allows for manual smoothing without necessitating separate pressing or ironing procedures.<ref>Bari, S. R. (2021). ''Hospital Laundry and Linen Management Operations''. Medical Science Publishers. ISBN 978-9389247123.</ref>
=== Universal Folding and Stabilization ===
The structural folding workflow for dried garments and bedding items is engineered to reduce bulk volume and enforce mathematical uniformity through specific geometric pliegues:
* Geometric Folding by Bands (Garments and Linens): Fabrics are flattened and structured into narrow, longitudinal bands before being folded in consecutive thirds or fourths. This visual normalization baseline guarantees identical, square widths across all processed units, directly streamlining parallel drawer and shelf integration.<ref>Kondo, Marie (2016). ''Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up''. Ten Speed Press. ISBN 978-1607749721.</ref>
* Elastic Corner Nesting (Fitted Sheets): To neutralize the asymmetric volume and rounded profiles generated by elastic borders, opposite corners are technically inverted and tucked into each other. This mechanical convergence flattens the fitted sheet into a crisp rectangular profile, allowing it to be folded as a standard garment.<ref>Laundon, Thomas (2019). ''Textile Logistics and Laundry Management in Healthcare Facilities''. Academic Press. ISBN 978-0128143217.</ref>
* Pneumatic Purging and Template Standardization (Folding Boards)''':''' Air trapped within the woven textile pliegues must be systematically expelled during the flattening phase to uniform the batch caliber and reduce surface friction. In institutional environments, this spatial precision is achieved via rigid folding boards. For domestic management of large-format sheets and clothing, this is frequently replicated using custom DIY cardboard templates assembled with heavy-duty tape.<ref>Kondo, Marie (2014). ''The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing''. Ten Speed Press. ISBN 978-1607747307.</ref> These multi-paneled structural grids act as a physical delimiter, forcing both clothing and sheets into identical rectangular footprints regardless of the user's manual dexterity, minimizing structural friction on closet shelves and ensuring the compact footprint required for parallel vertical storage.<ref>Emmons, Mary (2018). ''The Organized Home: Simple Strategies for Turning Chaos into Calm''. Rockridge Press. ISBN 978-1641521468.</ref>
==== Bedclothes ====
===== Efficient Storage Systems =====
To optimize spatial logistics within institutional linen closets and domestic organizers, processed bedclothes are arranged via the **vertical filing system (archive method)**. Bundles are compressed into firm, self-standing rectangular packets and placed vertically on shelves—in parallel, like a deck of cards—rather than stacked in unstable vertical towers. This method maximizes cubic volume efficiency, reduces fabric friction, and allows for rapid, individualized extraction of specific clean sheets without disrupting the structural symmetry of the surrounding batch.<ref>Emmons, Mary (2018). ''The Organized Home: Simple Strategies for Turning Chaos into Calm''. Rockridge Press. ISBN 978-1641521468.</ref>
For long-term preservation, emergency reserves, or seasonal management, mechanical compression via hermetic vacuum storage bags is heavily employed. Suction systems or vacuum equipment evacuate all internal air elasticity, collapsing the fabric's volume by up to 80% while sealing fibers against humidity and hospital-borne microbiological vector contamination.<ref>Miller, Robert (2020). ''Industrial Laundry Operations and Sanitization Standards''. Technical Prints. ISBN 978-1536171990.</ref>
===== Applied Ergonomics =====
Under applied ergonomics, it must be noted that extreme volumetric reduction constitutes an optical illusion that masks the actual mass of the workload. Multiple pieces compressed into a single container significantly increase the tactile density of the package; therefore, handling precautions are required to prevent acute physical overexertion and chronic musculoskeletal injuries during bulk transportation.<ref>Pheasant, Stephen (2016). ''Bodyspace: Anthropometry, Ergonomics and the Design of Work''. CRC Press. ISBN 978-1498700320.</ref>
==Conclusion==
You might not be able to do all the cleaning in one session. So what? The trick is to do some of it now.
If the process seems overwhelming, pick a small corner area, preferably one with a small table and chair, such as your reading nook. Tidy it up, then clean it thoroughly. This gives you a spot to look at that isn't depressing. Next, make the next corner clean. Soon you will find yourself motivated to clean up the rest of the room, and the rest of the house.
Also, for those of us who didn’t take home economics, there are books on cleaning in book stores. Ask a clerk where the store keeps them.

Part of a family of copper cabling standards defined jointly by the Electronic Industries Alliance and the Telecommunications Industry Association. Category 3 was a popular cabling format among computer network administrators in the early 1990s, but fell out of popularity in favor of the very similar, but higher performing, Category 5 standard. Cat 3 is currently still in use in two-line telephone systems, and can easily be adapted to run Voice over Internet Protocol (as long as a dedicated local area network for the telephones is created).

In fiber-optic communication, a multimode fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over shorter distances, such as within a building or on a campus. More than one signal can be transmitted at a time by bouncing the light off of the walls of the core because of the size of its core, greater than 10 microns. It can be made of glass or plastic, as the tolerances required over shorter distances allow for the use of plastic. The shorter distance also allows for the use of a laser or a less expensive LED (light emitting diode) as the source of light traveling through the fiber.

In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single ray of light (mode) over a great distance. Its core measures 8-10 microns and allows for less dispersion of light than multimode fiber. It requires the use of a laser in order to reach long distances at high speeds.
* Transmission speed: up to 10 Gbit/s
* Distance: 40 kilometers
* Duplex: Full (one fiber each direction)
* Noise immunity: not susceptible to [[Network_Plus_Certification/Management/Connectivity_Issues#Interference|electromagnetic interference]]

===[[wikipedia:RG-59|RG-59]]===
RG-59 is a specific type of coaxial cable, often used for low-power video signal connections. Its high-frequency losses are too great to allow its use over long distances; in these applications, RG-6 (see below) is used instead.
RG-59 coaxial cable is commonly packed-in with consumer equipment, such as VCRs or digital cable/satellite receivers. Manufacturers tend to include only RG-59 cables because of its low cost (when compared to RG-6). However, given the short lengths provided (usually 4-6 feet / 1.2-1.8 m), this is generally sufficient for its typical use.
===[[wikipedia:RG-6|RG-6]]===
RG-6 is a common type of [[Network_Plus_Certification/Media_and_Topologies/Cables#Coaxial_cable|coaxial cable]] used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications.
The most commonly-recognized variety of RG-6 is cable television(CATV) distribution coax, used to route cable television signals to and within homes, and RG-6 type cables have become the standard for CATV, mostly replacing the smaller RG-59.

[[Image:Serial cable (blue).jpg|thumb|right|Serial Cables are typically used for RS-232 communication.]]
A serial cable is a cable that can be used to transfer information between two devices using serial communication, often using the [[Network_Plus_Certification/Media_and_Topologies/Connectors#RS-232_.28Recommended_Standard_232.29|RS-232]] standard. Serial cables may use connectors with 9 or 25 pins, but other connectors are used.

==Plenum vs. Non-plenum==
Plenum cable is cable that is laid in the plenum spaces of buildings. The plenum is the space that can facilitate air circulation for heating and air conditioning systems, by providing pathways for either heated/conditioned or return airflows. Space between the structural ceiling and the dropped ceiling or under a raised floor is typically considered plenum; however, some drop ceiling designs create a tight seal that does not allow for airflow and therefore may not be considered a plenum air-handling space. The plenum space is typically used to house the communication cables for the building's computer and telephone network.
Cable which is to be run between floors in non-plenum areas is rated as riser cable. The fire requirements on riser cable are not as strict. Thus, plenum cable can always replace riser cable, but riser cable cannot replace plenum cable in plenum spaces.

=== sphere ===
----
Creates a sphere at the origin of the coordinate system. The r argument name is optional. To use d instead of r, d must be named.
'''Parameters'''
; r : Radius. This is the radius of the sphere.
; d : Diameter. This is the diameter of the sphere.
The resolution of the sphere is based on the size of the sphere and the '''$fa''', '''$fs''' and '''$fn''' variables. For more information on these special variables see [[OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features#circleres|Circle resolution: $fa, $fs, and $fn]].
default values: sphere(); yields: sphere($fn = 0, $fa = 12, $fs = 2, r = 1);
'''Usage Examples'''
sphere(r = 1);
sphere(r = 5);
sphere(r = 10);
sphere(d = 2);
sphere(d = 10);
sphere(d = 20);
// this creates a high resolution sphere with a 2mm radius
sphere(2, $fn=100);
// also creates a 2mm high resolution sphere but this one
// does not have as many small triangles on the poles of the sphere
sphere(2, $fa=5, $fs=0.1);

=== cylinder ===
----
Creates a cylinder or cone centered about the z axis. When center is true, it is also centered vertically along the z axis.
Parameter names are optional if given in the order shown here. If a parameter is named, all following parameters must also be named.
cylinder(h = height, r1 = BottomRadius, r2 = TopRadius, center = true/false);
NOTES:
The 2nd & 3rd positional parameters are r1 & r2, if r, d, d1 or d2 are used they must be named.
Using r1 & r2 or d1 & d2 with either value of zero will make a cone shape, a non-zero non-equal value will produce a section of a cone (a [[w:Frustum|Conical Frustum]]). r1 & d1 define the base width, at [0,0,0], and r2 & d2 define the top width.
:'''Parameters'''
:: '''h''' : height of the cylinder or cone
:: '''r ''' : radius of cylinder. r1 = r2 = r.
:: '''r1''' : radius, bottom of cone.
:: '''r2''' : radius, top of cone.
:: '''d ''' : diameter of cylinder. r1 = r2 = d / 2. {{requires|2014.03}}
:: '''d1''' : diameter, bottom of cone. r1 = d1 / 2. {{requires|2014.03}}
:: '''d2''' : diameter, top of cone. r2 = d2 / 2. {{requires|2014.03}}
:: '''center'''
::: '''false''' (default), z ranges from 0 to h
::: '''true''', z ranges from -h/2 to +h/2
The resolution of a cylinder is based on its radius and the '''$fa''', '''$fs''' and '''$fn''' variables. For a cone, the resolution is based on the radius of the larger end. For more information on these special variables see [[OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features#circleres|Circle resolution: $fa, $fs, and $fn]].
defaults: cylinder(); yields: cylinder($fn = 0, $fa = 12, $fs = 2, h = 1, r1 = 1, r2 = 1, center = false);

cylinder( 20,r1=10, d2=2*10, center=true);
:'''use of $fn'''
Larger values of $fn create smoother, more circular, surfaces at the cost of longer rendering time. Some use medium values during development for the faster rendering, then change to a larger value for the final F6 rendering.
However, use of small values can produce some interesting non circular objects. A few examples are show here:

</gallery>
scripts for these examples
cylinder(20,20,20,$fn=3);
cylinder(20,20,00,$fn=4);
cylinder(20,20,10,$fn=4);
:'''undersized holes'''
Using cylinder() with difference() to place holes in objects creates undersized holes. This is because circular paths are approximated with polygons inscribed within in a circle. The points of the polygon are on the circle, but straight lines between are inside. To have all of the hole larger than the true circle, the polygon must lie wholly outside of the circle (circumscribed). [[OpenSCAD User Manual/undersized circular objects|Modules for circumscribed holes]]
<gallery>
File:OpenSCAD Under size hole.jpg
</gallery>
script for this example
poly_n = 6;
color("blue") translate([0, 0, 0.02]) linear_extrude(0.1) circle(10, $fn=poly_n);
color("green") translate([0, 0, 0.01]) linear_extrude(0.1) circle(10, $fn=360);
color("purple") linear_extrude(0.1) circle(10/cos(180/poly_n), $fn=poly_n);
In general, a polygon of radius <math>r</math> has a radius to the midpoint of any side as <math>r_m = r \cos(180/n)</math>. If only the midpoint radius <math>r_m</math> is known (for example, to fit a hex key into a hexagonal hole), then the polygon radius is <math>r = \frac{r_m}{\cos(180/n)}</math>.
=== polyhedron ===
----
A polyhedron is the most general 3D primitive solid. It can be used to create any regular or irregular shape including those with concave as well as convex features. Curved surfaces are approximated by a series of flat surfaces.
polyhedron( points = [ [X<sub>0</sub>, Y<sub>0</sub>, Z<sub>0</sub>], [X<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>1</sub>, Z<sub>1</sub>], ... ], triangles = [ [P<sub>0</sub>, P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub>], ... ], convexity = N); // before 2014.03
polyhedron( points = [ [X<sub>0</sub>, Y<sub>0</sub>, Z<sub>0</sub>], [X<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>1</sub>, Z<sub>1</sub>], ... ], faces = [ [P<sub>0</sub>, P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub>, P<sub>3</sub>, ...], ...], convexity = N); // 2014.03 & later
:'''Parameters'''
:: '''points'''
::: Vector of 3d points or vertices. Each point is in turn a vector, [x,y,z], of its coordinates.
::: Points may be defined in any order. N points are referenced, in the order defined, as 0 to N-1.
:: '''triangles''' {{OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Deprecated|triangles|'''faces''' parameter}}
::: Vector of faces that collectively enclose the solid. Each face is a vector containing the indices (0 based) of 3 points from the points vector.
:: '''faces''' {{requires|2014.03}}
::: Vector of faces that collectively enclose the solid. Each face is a vector containing the indices (0 based) of 3 or more points from the points vector.
::: Faces may be defined in any order, but the points of each face must be ordered correctly (see below). Define enough faces to fully enclose the solid, with no overlap.
::: If points that describe a single face are not on the same plane, the face is automatically split into triangles as needed.
:: '''convexity'''
::: Integer. The convexity parameter specifies the maximum number of faces a ray intersecting the object might penetrate. This parameter is needed only for correct display of the object in OpenCSG preview mode. It has no effect on the polyhedron rendering. For display problems, setting it to 10 should work fine for most cases.
default values: polyhedron(); yields: polyhedron(points = undef, faces = undef, convexity = 1);
In the list of faces, for each face it is arbitrary which point you start with, but the points of the face (referenced by the index into the list of points) must be ordered in '''clockwise''' direction when looking at each face from outside '''inward'''. The back is viewed from the back, the bottom from the bottom, etc.
Another way to remember this ordering requirement is to use the '''left-hand rule'''. Using your left hand, stick your thumb up and curl your fingers as if giving the thumbs-up sign, point your thumb away from the face, and order the points in the direction your fingers curl (this is the opposite of the [[w:STL (file format)#Facet normal|STL file format]] convention, which uses a "right-hand rule"). Try this on the example below.

==== Debugging polyhedra ====
----
Mistakes in defining polyhedra include not having all faces in clockwise order (viewed from outside - a bottom need to be viewed from below), overlap of faces and missing faces or portions of faces. As a general rule, the polyhedron faces should also satisfy manifold conditions:
* exactly two faces should meet at any polyhedron edge.
* if two faces have a vertex in common, they should be in the same cycle face-edge around the vertex.
The first rule eliminates polyhedra like two cubes with a common edge and not watertight models; the second excludes polyhedra like two cubes with a common vertex.
When viewed from the outside, the points describing each face must be in the same clockwise order, and provides a mechanism for detecting counterclockwise.
When the thrown together view (F12) is used with F5, CCW faces are shown in pink. Reorder the points for incorrect faces. Rotate the object to view all faces. The pink view can be turned off with F10.
OpenSCAD allows, temporarily, commenting out part of the face descriptions so that only the remaining faces are displayed. Use // to comment out the rest of the line. Use /* and */ to start and end a comment block. This can be part of a line or extend over several lines. Viewing only part of the faces can be helpful in determining the right points for an individual face. Note that a solid is not shown, only the faces. If using F12, all faces have one pink side. Commenting some faces helps also to show any internal face.
[[File:Cube_2_face.jpg|frame|left|example 1 showing only 2 faces]]
CubeFaces = [
/* [0,1,2,3], // bottom
[4,5,1,0], // front */
[7,6,5,4], // top
/* [5,6,2,1], // right
[6,7,3,2], // back */
[7,4,0,3]]; // left
<br clear="all">
After defining a polyhedron, its preview may seem correct. The polyhedron alone may even render fine. However, to be sure it is a valid manifold and that it can generate a valid STL file, union it with any cube and render it (F6). If the polyhedron disappears, it means that it is not correct. Revise the winding order of all faces and the two rules stated above.
==== Mis-ordered faces ====
----
:'''Example 4''' a more complex polyhedron with mis-ordered faces
When you select 'Thrown together' from the view menu and '''compile (preview F5)''' the design
('''not''' compile and render!) the preview shows the mis-oriented polygons highlighted. Unfortunately this highlighting is not possible in the OpenCSG preview mode because it would interfere with the way the OpenCSG preview mode is implemented.)
Below you can see the code and the picture of such a problematic polyhedron, the bad polygons (faces or compositions of faces) are in pink.

</syntaxhighlight>
;Beginner's tip
If you don't really understand "orientation", try to identify the mis-oriented pink faces and then invert the sequence of the references to the points vectors until you get it right. E.g. in the above example, the third triangle (''[0,4,5]'') was wrong and we fixed it as ''[4,0,5]''. Remember that a face list is a circular list. In addition, you may select "Show Edges" from the "View Menu", print a screen capture and number both the points and the faces. In our example, the points are annotated in black and the faces in blue. Turn the object around and make a second copy from the back if needed. This way you can keep track.
;“Clockwise” technique
Orientation is determined by clockwise circular indexing. This means that if you're looking at the triangle (in this case [4,0,5]) from the outside you'll see that the path is clockwise around the center of the face. The winding order [4,0,5] is clockwise and therefore good. The winding order [0,4,5] is counter-clockwise and therefore bad. Likewise, any other clockwise order of [4,0,5] works: [5,4,0] & [0,5,4] are good too. If you use the clockwise technique, you'll always have your faces outside (outside of OpenSCAD, other programs do use counter-clockwise as the outside though).
Think of it as a "left hand rule":
If you place your left hand on the face with your fingers curled in the direction of the order of the points, your thumb should point outward. If your thumb points inward, you need to reverse the winding order.
[[image:openscad-bad-polyhedron-annotated.png|frame|none|Polyhedron with badly oriented polygons]]
Succinct description of a 'Polyhedron'
* Points define all of the points/vertices in the shape.
* Faces is a list of polygons that connect up the points/vertices.
Each point, in the point list, is defined with a 3-tuple x,y,z position specification. Points in the point list are automatically enumerated starting from zero for use in the faces list (0,1,2,3,... etc).
Each face, in the faces list, is defined by selecting 3 or more of the points (using the point order number) out of the point list.
e.g. faces=[ [0,1,2] ] defines a triangle from the first point (points are zero referenced) to the second point and then to the third point.
When looking at any face from the outside, the face must list all points in a clockwise order.
==== Point repetitions in a polyhedron point list ====
The point list of the polyhedron definition may have repetitions. When two or more points have the same coordinates they are considered the same polyhedron vertex. So, the following polyhedron:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
points = [[ 0, 0, 0], [10, 0, 0], [ 0,10, 0],
[ 0, 0, 0], [10, 0, 0], [ 0,10, 0],
[ 0,10, 0], [10, 0, 0], [ 0, 0,10],
[ 0, 0, 0], [ 0, 0,10], [10, 0, 0],
[ 0, 0, 0], [ 0,10, 0], [ 0, 0,10]];
polyhedron(points, [[0,1,2], [3,4,5], [6,7,8], [9,10,11], [12,13,14]]);
</syntaxhighlight>
define the same tetrahedron as:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
points = [[0,0,0], [0,10,0], [10,0,0], [0,0,10]];
polyhedron(points, [[0,2,1], [0,1,3], [1,2,3], [0,3,2]]);

==Introduction==
This a list of computer hardware tested with mostly native AROS installs and, in the recommended sections, of virtual machines
With 64bit support it is recommended 8Gb ram is needed and that SSE 4.1 and AVX are supported in the CPU i.e. from year 2012 for Intel CPUs and 2013 for AMD CPUs. They are x86-64 instruction sets designed to perform the same operations on multiple data items simultaneously, a technique known as Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD). This allows for increased performance in tasks involving parallel computation. SSE 4.1 is a 128-bit SIMD instruction set, while AVX introduced 256-bit SIMD, further enhancing performance. Some apps require these features to run well, like 3D, multimedia decoding or JIT (javascript) in Odyssey web browser. If not the apps may work slower or might fail.
If you have encountered differently (i.e. problems, incompatibilities, faults, annoyances, environment, errors, review of setup etc) please update this information.
Please bear in mind that AROS has only a few hardware driver developers, whilst Linux counts in the tens and Windows in the hundreds.

===Motherboard===
[[#top|...to the top]]
* Late 2002, USB2.0 added and slightly better AROS sound support (AC97) appeared
* 2002-2005 and still, to a limited extent, ongoing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague bad capacitors]
* Late 2003, ATX PSUs moved from 5V to 12v rails (extra 4pin on motherboard for CPU)
* Late 2005, PCI Express replaced AGP and HDAudio replaced AC97
* Late 2007, ATX PSUs added extra 12V PCI-E connectors and 4+4pin for CPUs
* Late 2010, USB3.0 appears on motherboards or needing a PCI-E motherboard slot
* Late 2014 Hardware USB2 removed from USB3 chipsets

=====Socket AM1 FS1b socket (2014/1x)=====
5350 4 core Jaguar cores 2GHz with Integrated AMD Radeon R Series Graphics in the APU Kabini [Radeon HD 8400]
Later Beema APU with 2/4 core Puma (slightly updated Jaguar) cores, GCN graphics and a compute capable Radeon core, along with a brand new AMD security processor and FT3 BGA packaging (probably best avoided for long term survival).

=====Socket AM4 FM3 Summit Ridge Zen Zen+ (2016/22)=====
Jim Keller’s group designed x86 Zen CPU - new and covering the same AM4 platform/socket for desktop
Zen will also shift from Bulldozer’s Clustered Multithreading (CMT) to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT, aka Intel’s Hyperthreading). CMT is the basis for Bulldozer’s unusual combination of multiple integer cores sharing a single FPU within a module, so the move to SMT is a more “traditional” design for improving resource usage
Trusted Platform Module, or fTPM, that Windows 11 requires. Ryzen processors using a firmware TPM are causing stutters, even when doing mundane tasks. To enable TPM 2.0 on your AMD system please follow the steps below.
<pre>
Power on system and press DEL or F2 to get into the BIOS.
Navigate to Advanced\CPU Configuration.
Enable AMD fTPM switch.
Press F10 to save changes.

=====Socket LGA775 s775 (2005/8)=====
an industry standard DDR2 module could in theory contain fallback JEDEC, intel XMP and AMD EPP configuration data
Intel PC CL5 ram modules but an "AMD" CL5 ram module the BIOS cannot read the AMD EPP info on the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) but can recognize the CL5 timing info in the JEDEC data table. PC BIOS auto configures for the AMD ram module and boots normally.
an AMD PC CL6 ram modules but an "INTEL" CL6 ram module the BIOS cannot read the INTEL XMP info on the SPD but can recognize the CL6 timing info in JEDEC data table. PC BIOS auto configures for the AMD ram module and boots normally.
an INTEL PC needs CL6 ram modules but have an "AMD" CL4 ram module. INTEL BIOS cannot read the AMD EPP info on the SPD but can recognize the CL4 timing info in JEDEC data table. PC BIOS recognizes module timings as incompatible an refuses to boot.
entirely separate issue if the RAM module timing specs are incompatible.(i.e. CL4 RAM in a "CL6 only" PC)

===Chromebooks===
For most (EOL) cromebooks, the recommended UEFI path forward is to:
*put the device into Developer Mode
*disable firmware write protection
*flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware
*install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc
See [https://mrchromebox.tech/#home MrChrome], [https://mrchromebox.tech MrChrome] and the [https://www.reddit.com/r/chrultrabook/ chrultrabook subreddit] for more info
ChromeOS has several different boot modes, which are important to understand in the context of modifying your device to run an alternate OS:
*Normal/Verified Boot Mode
Can only boot Google-signed ChromeOS images
Full verification of firmware and OS kernel
No root access to the system, no ability to run Linux or boot other OSes
Automatically enters Recovery Mode if any step of Verified Boot fails
Default / out-of-the-box setting for all ChromeOS devices
*Recovery Mode
User presented with Recovery Mode boot screen (white screen with 'ChromeOS is missing or damaged')
Boots only USB/SD with signed Google recovery image
Automatically entered when Verified Boot Mode fails
Can be manually invoked:
On Chromebooks, via keystroke: [ESC+Refresh+Power]
On Chromeboxes, by pressing a physical recovery button at power-on
On Convertibles/Tablets, by holding the Power, Vol+, and Vol- buttons for 10s and then release
Allows for transition from Verified Boot Mode to Developer Mode
On Chromebooks/Chromeboxes, via keystroke: [CTRL+D]
On Convertibles/Tablets, via button press: Vol+/Vol- simultaneously
Booting recovery media on USB/SD will repartition/reformat internal storage and reload ChromeOS
Note: The ChromeOS recovery process does not reset the firmware boot flags (GBB Flags), so if those are changed from the default, they will still need to be reset for factory default post-recovery.
*Developer Mode
"Jailbreak" mode built-in to every ChromeOS device
Loosened security restrictions, allows root/shell access, ability to run Linux via crouton
Verified Boot (signature checking) disabled by default, but can be re-enabled
Enabled via [CTRL+D] on the Recovery Mode boot screen
Boots to the developer mode boot screen (white screen with 'OS verification is off' text),
The user can select via keystroke
<pre>
ChromeOS (in developer mode) on internal storage ( [CTRL+D] )
ChromeOS/ChromiumOS on USB ( [CTRL+U] )
Legacy Boot Mode ( [CTRL+L] )
</pre>
Boot screen displays the ChromeOS device/board name in the hardware ID string (eg, PANTHER F5U-C92, which is useful to know in the context of device recovery, firmware support, or in determining what steps are required to install a given alternate OS on the device.
*Legacy Boot Mode
Unsupported method for booting alternate OSes (Linux, Windows) via the SeaBIOS RW_LEGACY firmware
Accessed via [CTRL+L] on the developer mode boot screen
Requires explicit enabling in Developer Mode via command line: sudo crossystem dev_boot_legacy=1
Most ChromeOS devices require a RW_LEGACY firmware update first
Boots to the (black) SeaBIOS splash screen; if multiple boot devices are available, prompt shows the boot menu
Note: If you hear two beeps after pressing [CTRL+L], then either your device doesn't have a valid Legacy Boot Mode / RW_LEGACY firmware installed, or legacy boot capability has not been been enabled via crossystem.
https://www.howtogeek.com/278953/how-to-install-windows-on-a-chromebook/
Chromebooks don’t officially support other OSs. You normally can’t even install as Chromebooks ship with a special type of BIOS designed for Chrome OS. But there are ways to install, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and potentially ruin everything

[https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility Here is the list of hardware that the GalliumOS supports and information on getting Gallium OS on to those devices]
Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.
Meet Eupnea and Depthboot, the successors to Galliumos and Breath [https://eupnea-linux.github.io This is the bleeding edge]
Most older Chromebooks need the write-protect screw removed in order to install MrChromebox's firmware that allows you to install other operating systems. Most newer Chromebooks don't work in the same way as there is no write-protect screw on them.
Very rough guide to '''total''' (i.e. all cores / threads) processor performance (AROS usually uses only the [https://gmplib.org/gmpbench one core])

=== Recommended hardware (32-bit) ===
[[#top|...to the top]]
Recommended hardware is hardware that has been tested with latest release of AROS and is relatively easy to purchase second hand (ie. ebay). This hardware also comes with commitment that compatibility will be maintained with each future release.
If in future decision will be made to drop any of the recommended hardware from the list (for example due to it no longer being available for purchase), such hardware will move to list of legacy supported systems and will have an indicated end of life date so that users have time to switch to other hardware.

AROS 64-bit will work on most of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155 LGA 1155] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150 LGA 1150] boards. It will also work with newer hardware - see complete HCL list above.
Boards below are '''certified'''. If you can't get the exact board, try a variant of that board with the same chipset.

==Introduction==
This a list of computer hardware tested with mostly native AROS installs and, in the recommended sections, of virtual machines
With 64bit support it is recommended 8Gb ram is needed and that SSE 4.1 and AVX are supported in the CPU i.e. from year 2012 for Intel CPUs and 2013 for AMD CPUs. They are x86-64 instruction sets designed to perform the same operations on multiple data items simultaneously, a technique known as Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD). This allows for increased performance in tasks involving parallel computation. SSE 4.1 is a 128-bit SIMD instruction set, while AVX introduced 256-bit SIMD, further enhancing performance. Some apps require these features to run well, like 3D, multimedia decoding or JIT (javascript) in Odyssey web browser. If not the apps may work slower or might fail.
If you have encountered differently (i.e. problems, incompatibilities, faults, annoyances, environment, errors, review of setup etc) please update this information.
Please bear in mind that AROS has only a few hardware driver developers, whilst Linux counts in the tens and Windows in the hundreds.

3D tests now conducted with apps found in Demos/AROS/Mesa and run at default size (may need to View As -> Show All to see them.
Any laptop with Windows 7(TM) 64bit or higher install, the bios and hard drive set in uefi/gpt mode (install of AROS incompatible)
Most vendor suppliers get OEM (original equipment manufacturers) to make their laptops. These brand name companies purchase their laptops from
*80% ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) such as Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Inventec, Foxconn (Hon Hai), Flextronics and Asus (now Pegatron)
*20% MiTAC, FIC, Arima, Uniwill, ECS, Tonfang Origin and Clevo

===Motherboard===
[[#top|...to the top]]
* Late 2002, USB2.0 added and slightly better AROS sound support (AC97) appeared
* 2002-2005 and still, to a limited extent, ongoing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague bad capacitors]
* Late 2003, ATX PSUs moved from 5V to 12v rails (extra 4pin on motherboard for CPU)
* Late 2005, PCI Express replaced AGP and HDAudio replaced AC97
* Late 2007, ATX PSUs added extra 12V PCI-E connectors and 4+4pin for CPUs
* Late 2010, USB3.0 appears on motherboards or needing a PCI-E motherboard slot
* Late 2014 Hardware USB2 removed from USB3 chipsets

=====Socket AM4 FM3 Summit Ridge Zen Zen+ (2016/22)=====
Jim Keller’s group designed x86 Zen CPU - new and covering the same AM4 platform/socket for desktop
Zen will also shift from Bulldozer’s Clustered Multithreading (CMT) to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT, aka Intel’s Hyperthreading). CMT is the basis for Bulldozer’s unusual combination of multiple integer cores sharing a single FPU within a module, so the move to SMT is a more “traditional” design for improving resource usage
Trusted Platform Module, or fTPM, that Windows 11 requires. Ryzen processors using a firmware TPM are causing stutters, even when doing mundane tasks. To enable TPM 2.0 on your AMD system please follow the steps below.
<pre>
Power on system and press DEL or F2 to get into the BIOS.
Navigate to Advanced\CPU Configuration.
Enable AMD fTPM switch.
Press F10 to save changes.

=====Socket LGA775 s775 (2005/8)=====
an industry standard DDR2 module could in theory contain fallback JEDEC, intel XMP and AMD EPP configuration data
Intel PC CL5 ram modules but an "AMD" CL5 ram module the BIOS cannot read the AMD EPP info on the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) but can recognize the CL5 timing info in the JEDEC data table. PC BIOS auto configures for the AMD ram module and boots normally.
an AMD PC CL6 ram modules but an "INTEL" CL6 ram module the BIOS cannot read the INTEL XMP info on the SPD but can recognize the CL6 timing info in JEDEC data table. PC BIOS auto configures for the AMD ram module and boots normally.
an INTEL PC needs CL6 ram modules but have an "AMD" CL4 ram module. INTEL BIOS cannot read the AMD EPP info on the SPD but can recognize the CL4 timing info in JEDEC data table. PC BIOS recognizes module timings as incompatible an refuses to boot.
entirely separate issue if the RAM module timing specs are incompatible.(i.e. CL4 RAM in a "CL6 only" PC)

===Chromebooks===
For most (EOL) cromebooks, the recommended UEFI path forward is to:
*put the device into Developer Mode
*disable firmware write protection
*flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware
*install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc
See [https://mrchromebox.tech/#home MrChrome], [https://mrchromebox.tech MrChrome] and the [https://www.reddit.com/r/chrultrabook/ chrultrabook subreddit] for more info
ChromeOS has several different boot modes, which are important to understand in the context of modifying your device to run an alternate OS:
*Normal/Verified Boot Mode
Can only boot Google-signed ChromeOS images
Full verification of firmware and OS kernel
No root access to the system, no ability to run Linux or boot other OSes
Automatically enters Recovery Mode if any step of Verified Boot fails
Default / out-of-the-box setting for all ChromeOS devices
*Recovery Mode
User presented with Recovery Mode boot screen (white screen with 'ChromeOS is missing or damaged')
Boots only USB/SD with signed Google recovery image
Automatically entered when Verified Boot Mode fails
Can be manually invoked:
On Chromebooks, via keystroke: [ESC+Refresh+Power]
On Chromeboxes, by pressing a physical recovery button at power-on
On Convertibles/Tablets, by holding the Power, Vol+, and Vol- buttons for 10s and then release
Allows for transition from Verified Boot Mode to Developer Mode
On Chromebooks/Chromeboxes, via keystroke: [CTRL+D]
On Convertibles/Tablets, via button press: Vol+/Vol- simultaneously
Booting recovery media on USB/SD will repartition/reformat internal storage and reload ChromeOS
Note: The ChromeOS recovery process does not reset the firmware boot flags (GBB Flags), so if those are changed from the default, they will still need to be reset for factory default post-recovery.
*Developer Mode
"Jailbreak" mode built-in to every ChromeOS device
Loosened security restrictions, allows root/shell access, ability to run Linux via crouton
Verified Boot (signature checking) disabled by default, but can be re-enabled
Enabled via [CTRL+D] on the Recovery Mode boot screen
Boots to the developer mode boot screen (white screen with 'OS verification is off' text),
The user can select via keystroke
<pre>
ChromeOS (in developer mode) on internal storage ( [CTRL+D] )
ChromeOS/ChromiumOS on USB ( [CTRL+U] )
Legacy Boot Mode ( [CTRL+L] )
</pre>
Boot screen displays the ChromeOS device/board name in the hardware ID string (eg, PANTHER F5U-C92, which is useful to know in the context of device recovery, firmware support, or in determining what steps are required to install a given alternate OS on the device.
*Legacy Boot Mode
Unsupported method for booting alternate OSes (Linux, Windows) via the SeaBIOS RW_LEGACY firmware
Accessed via [CTRL+L] on the developer mode boot screen
Requires explicit enabling in Developer Mode via command line: sudo crossystem dev_boot_legacy=1
Most ChromeOS devices require a RW_LEGACY firmware update first
Boots to the (black) SeaBIOS splash screen; if multiple boot devices are available, prompt shows the boot menu
Note: If you hear two beeps after pressing [CTRL+L], then either your device doesn't have a valid Legacy Boot Mode / RW_LEGACY firmware installed, or legacy boot capability has not been been enabled via crossystem.
https://www.howtogeek.com/278953/how-to-install-windows-on-a-chromebook/
Chromebooks don’t officially support other OSs. You normally can’t even install as Chromebooks ship with a special type of BIOS designed for Chrome OS. But there are ways to install, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and potentially ruin everything
[https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices Firmware Compatibility]
[https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility Here is the list of hardware that the GalliumOS supports and information on getting Gallium OS on to those devices]
Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.
Meet Eupnea and Depthboot, the successors to Galliumos and Breath [https://eupnea-linux.github.io This is the bleeding edge]
Most older Chromebooks need the write-protect screw removed in order to install MrChromebox's firmware that allows you to install other operating systems. Most newer Chromebooks don't work in the same way as there is no write-protect screw on them.
Very rough guide to '''total''' (i.e. all cores / threads) processor performance (AROS usually uses only the [https://gmplib.org/gmpbench one core])

=== Recommended hardware (32-bit) ===
[[#top|...to the top]]
Recommended hardware is hardware that has been tested with latest release of AROS and is relatively easy to purchase second hand (ie. ebay). This hardware also comes with commitment that compatibility will be maintained with each future release.
If in future decision will be made to drop any of the recommended hardware from the list (for example due to it no longer being available for purchase), such hardware will move to list of legacy supported systems and will have an indicated end of life date so that users have time to switch to other hardware.

==Introduction==
This a list of computer hardware tested with mostly native AROS installs and, in the recommended sections, of virtual machines
With 64bit support it is recommended 8Gb ram is needed and that SSE 4.1 and AVX are supported in the CPU i.e. from year 2012 for Intel CPUs and 2013 for AMD CPUs. They are x86-64 instruction sets designed to perform the same operations on multiple data items simultaneously, a technique known as Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD). This allows for increased performance in tasks involving parallel computation. SSE 4.1 is a 128-bit SIMD instruction set, while AVX introduced 256-bit SIMD, further enhancing performance. Some apps require these features to run well, like 3D, multimedia decoding or JIT (javascript) in Odyssey web browser. If not the apps may work slower or might fail.
If you have encountered differently (i.e. problems, incompatibilities, faults, annoyances, environment, errors, review of setup etc) please update this information.
Please bear in mind that AROS has only a few hardware driver developers, whilst Linux counts in the tens and Windows in the hundreds.

===Motherboard===
[[#top|...to the top]]
* Late 2002, USB2.0 added and slightly better AROS sound support (AC97) appeared
* 2002-2005 and still, to a limited extent, ongoing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague bad capacitors]
* Late 2003, ATX PSUs moved from 5V to 12v rails (extra 4pin on motherboard for CPU)
* Late 2005, PCI Express replaced AGP and HDAudio replaced AC97
* Late 2007, ATX PSUs added extra 12V PCI-E connectors and 4+4pin for CPUs
* Late 2010, USB3.0 appears on motherboards or needing a PCI-E motherboard slot
* Late 2014 Hardware USB2 removed from USB3 chipsets

=====Socket AM4 FM3 Summit Ridge Zen Zen+ (2016/22)=====
Jim Keller’s group designed x86 Zen CPU - new and covering the same AM4 platform/socket for desktop
Zen will also shift from Bulldozer’s Clustered Multithreading (CMT) to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT, aka Intel’s Hyperthreading). CMT is the basis for Bulldozer’s unusual combination of multiple integer cores sharing a single FPU within a module, so the move to SMT is a more “traditional” design for improving resource usage
Trusted Platform Module, or fTPM, that Windows 11 requires. Ryzen processors using a firmware TPM are causing stutters, even when doing mundane tasks. To enable TPM 2.0 on your AMD system please follow the steps below.
<pre>
Power on system and press DEL or F2 to get into the BIOS.
Navigate to Advanced\CPU Configuration.
Enable AMD fTPM switch.
Press F10 to save changes.

=====Socket LGA775 s775 (2005/8)=====
an industry standard DDR2 module could in theory contain fallback JEDEC, intel XMP and AMD EPP configuration data
Intel PC CL5 ram modules but an "AMD" CL5 ram module the BIOS cannot read the AMD EPP info on the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) but can recognize the CL5 timing info in the JEDEC data table. PC BIOS auto configures for the AMD ram module and boots normally.
an AMD PC CL6 ram modules but an "INTEL" CL6 ram module the BIOS cannot read the INTEL XMP info on the SPD but can recognize the CL6 timing info in JEDEC data table. PC BIOS auto configures for the AMD ram module and boots normally.
an INTEL PC needs CL6 ram modules but have an "AMD" CL4 ram module. INTEL BIOS cannot read the AMD EPP info on the SPD but can recognize the CL4 timing info in JEDEC data table. PC BIOS recognizes module timings as incompatible an refuses to boot.
entirely separate issue if the RAM module timing specs are incompatible.(i.e. CL4 RAM in a "CL6 only" PC)

===Chromebooks===
For most (EOL) cromebooks, the recommended UEFI path forward is to:
*put the device into Developer Mode
*disable firmware write protection
*flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware
*install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc
See [https://mrchromebox.tech/#home MrChrome], [https://mrchromebox.tech MrChrome] and the [https://www.reddit.com/r/chrultrabook/ chrultrabook subreddit] for more info
ChromeOS has several different boot modes, which are important to understand in the context of modifying your device to run an alternate OS:
*Normal/Verified Boot Mode
Can only boot Google-signed ChromeOS images
Full verification of firmware and OS kernel
No root access to the system, no ability to run Linux or boot other OSes
Automatically enters Recovery Mode if any step of Verified Boot fails
Default / out-of-the-box setting for all ChromeOS devices
*Recovery Mode
User presented with Recovery Mode boot screen (white screen with 'ChromeOS is missing or damaged')
Boots only USB/SD with signed Google recovery image
Automatically entered when Verified Boot Mode fails
Can be manually invoked:
On Chromebooks, via keystroke: [ESC+Refresh+Power]
On Chromeboxes, by pressing a physical recovery button at power-on
On Convertibles/Tablets, by holding the Power, Vol+, and Vol- buttons for 10s and then release
Allows for transition from Verified Boot Mode to Developer Mode
On Chromebooks/Chromeboxes, via keystroke: [CTRL+D]
On Convertibles/Tablets, via button press: Vol+/Vol- simultaneously
Booting recovery media on USB/SD will repartition/reformat internal storage and reload ChromeOS
Note: The ChromeOS recovery process does not reset the firmware boot flags (GBB Flags), so if those are changed from the default, they will still need to be reset for factory default post-recovery.
*Developer Mode
"Jailbreak" mode built-in to every ChromeOS device
Loosened security restrictions, allows root/shell access, ability to run Linux via crouton
Verified Boot (signature checking) disabled by default, but can be re-enabled
Enabled via [CTRL+D] on the Recovery Mode boot screen
Boots to the developer mode boot screen (white screen with 'OS verification is off' text),
The user can select via keystroke
<pre>
ChromeOS (in developer mode) on internal storage ( [CTRL+D] )
ChromeOS/ChromiumOS on USB ( [CTRL+U] )
Legacy Boot Mode ( [CTRL+L] )
</pre>
Boot screen displays the ChromeOS device/board name in the hardware ID string (eg, PANTHER F5U-C92, which is useful to know in the context of device recovery, firmware support, or in determining what steps are required to install a given alternate OS on the device.
*Legacy Boot Mode
Unsupported method for booting alternate OSes (Linux, Windows) via the SeaBIOS RW_LEGACY firmware
Accessed via [CTRL+L] on the developer mode boot screen
Requires explicit enabling in Developer Mode via command line: sudo crossystem dev_boot_legacy=1
Most ChromeOS devices require a RW_LEGACY firmware update first
Boots to the (black) SeaBIOS splash screen; if multiple boot devices are available, prompt shows the boot menu
Note: If you hear two beeps after pressing [CTRL+L], then either your device doesn't have a valid Legacy Boot Mode / RW_LEGACY firmware installed, or legacy boot capability has not been been enabled via crossystem.
https://www.howtogeek.com/278953/how-to-install-windows-on-a-chromebook/
Chromebooks don’t officially support other OSs. You normally can’t even install as Chromebooks ship with a special type of BIOS designed for Chrome OS. But there are ways to install, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and potentially ruin everything
[https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices Firmware Compatibility]
[https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility Here is the list of hardware that the GalliumOS supports and information on getting Gallium OS on to those devices]
Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.
Meet Eupnea and Depthboot, the successors to Galliumos and Breath [https://eupnea-linux.github.io This is the bleeding edge]
Most older Chromebooks need the write-protect screw removed in order to install MrChromebox's firmware that allows you to install other operating systems. Most newer Chromebooks don't work in the same way as there is no write-protect screw on them.
Very rough guide to '''total''' (i.e. all cores / threads) processor performance (AROS usually uses only the [https://gmplib.org/gmpbench one core])

=== Recommended hardware (32-bit) ===
[[#top|...to the top]]
Recommended hardware is hardware that has been tested with latest release of AROS and is relatively easy to purchase second hand (ie. ebay). This hardware also comes with commitment that compatibility will be maintained with each future release.
If in future decision will be made to drop any of the recommended hardware from the list (for example due to it no longer being available for purchase), such hardware will move to list of legacy supported systems and will have an indicated end of life date so that users have time to switch to other hardware.

=== Recommended hardware (64-bit) ===
[[#top|...to the top]]
Recommended hardware is hardware that has been tested with latest release of AROS and is relatively easy to purchase second hand (ie. ebay). This hardware also comes with commitment that compatibility will be maintained with each future release.

==== Motherboards ====
AROS 64-bit will work on most of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155 LGA 1155] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150 LGA 1150] boards. It will also work with newer hardware - see complete HCL list above.
Boards below are '''certified'''. If you can't get the exact board, try a variant of that board with the same chipset.

Most apps can be opened on the Workbench (aka publicscreen pubscreen) which is the default display option but can offer a custom one set to your configurations (aka custom screen mode promotion). These custom ones tend to stack so the possible use of A-M/A-N method of switching between full screens and the ability to pull down screens as well

==Application Guides==
[[#top|...to the top]]
===Web Browser===
OWB is now at version 2.0 (which got an engine refresh, from July 2015 to February 2019) and 3.0.
This latest version has a good support for many/most web sites, even YouTube web page now works. [https://www.bilibili.tv/en/search untested]
This improved compatibility comes at the expense of higher RAM usage (now 1GB RAM is the absolute minimum).
Also, keep in mind that the lack of a JIT (Just-In-Time) JS compiler on the 32 bit version, makes the web surfing a bit slow.
Only the 64 bit version of OWB 2.0 will have JIT enabled, thus benefitting of more speed. There are tooltypes that can be added to the icon to provide further features JIT, MSE etc
Certificates from [https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html ca certs],
DNS tracking blocking with [https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt easylist.txt] in PROGDIR:Conf before starting browser with enabled AdBlock [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master easylist], [https://gitlab.com/eyeo anti abp], [https://firebog.net/ big blocklist], [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Steves], [], [],
This can be enabled with OWB Odyssey with Windows -> Content Blocking and Windows -> Messages and enter
https://www.youtube.com/api/stats/ads*
https://www.youtube.com/pagead/adview*
https://www.youtube.com#@##player-ads*
into your custom filters
Element blocker browser extension might be needed for [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/wiki/Youtube-Issues youtube], [ mid roll], [ pre roll], [ ],
OWB speed is much better when running from RAM Disk, the best way is to add the below into your S:User-Startup which copies OWB drawer from Extras:Internet/OWB to RAM Disk:
So add this :
<pre>
copy Extras:Internet/OWB Ram:OWB/ ALL CLONE >NIL:
copy Extras:Internet/OWB.info Ram: >NIL:
</pre>
Open RAM Disk and open OWB drawer and double click on OWB icon so that the above icon tooltypes are activated
Problems are that the copy time is long (around 20 seconds added in the background), but we can make it faster if we delete useless files from the OWB drawer (docs, …)
If you don’t copy the drawer back onto the HD, you won’t save your cache, cookies, passwords… So you need a script for it.
copy Extras:Internet/Amelinium/#? Ram:Amelinium/ ALL CLONE >NIL:
Error messages

===E-mail===
Emailinium is now available for IMAP and POP3 based accounts
YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections
====SimpleMail====
SimpleMail supports IMAP and appears to work with GMail, but it's never been reliable enough, it can crash with large mailboxes.
Please read more on this [http://www.freelists.org/list/simplemail-usr User list]
GMail
Be sure to activate the pop3 usage in your gmail account setup / configuration first.
pop3:
pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
smtp:
smtp.gmail.com (with authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 465 or 587
Hotmail/MSN/outlook/Microsoft Mail mid-2017, all outlook.com accounts will be migrated to Office 365 / Exchange
Most users are currently on POP which does not allow showing folders and many other features (technical limitations of POP3). With Microsoft IMAP you will get folders, sync read/unread, and show flags. You still won't get push though, as Microsoft has not turned on the IMAP Idle command as at Sept 2013.
If you want to try it, you need to first remove (you can't edit) your pop account (long-press the account on the accounts screen, delete account). Then set it up this way:
1. Email/Password
2. Manual
3. IMAP
4.
* Incoming: imap-mail.outlook.com, port 993, SSL/TLS should be checked
* Outgoing: smtp-mail.outlook.com, port 587, SSL/TLS should be checked
* POP server name pop-mail.outlook.com, port 995, POP encryption method SSL
Yahoo Mail
On April 24, 2002 Yahoo ceased to offer POP access to its free mail service. Introducing instead a yearly payment feature, allowing users POP3 and IMAP server support, along with such benefits as larger file attachment sizes and no adverts.
Sorry to see Yahoo leaving its users to cough up for the privilege of accessing their mail. Understandable, when competing against rivals such as Gmail and Hotmail who hold a large majority of users and were hacked in 2014 as well.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
* Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
* Port - 993
* Requires SSL - Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
* Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
* Port - 465 or 587
* Requires SSL - Yes
* Requires authentication - Yes
Your login info
* Email address - Your full email address (name@domain.com)
* Password - Your account's password
* Requires authentication - Yes
Note that you need to enable “Web & POP Access” in your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo Mail messages through any other email program.
You will have to enable “Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed” under “POP and Forwarding”, to send and receive Yahoo mails through any other email client.

* “Email Address” – Your Yahoo Mail address i.e. your email address including the domain “@yahoo.com”. E.g. myname@yahoo.com
* “Password” – Your Yahoo Mail password.
Yahoo! Mail Plus users may have to set POP server as plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and SMTP server as plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
* Set the SMTP server for outgoing mails as smtp.mail.yahoo.com. You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work.
====YAM Yet Another Mailer====
YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers have now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections
This email client is POP3 only if the SSL library is available [http://www.freelists.org/list/yam YAM Freelists]
One of the downsides of using a POP3 mailer unfortunately - you have to set an option not to delete the mail if you want it left on the server. IMAP keeps all the emails on the server.
Possible issues
Sending mail issues is probably a matter of using your ISP's SMTP server, though it could also be an SSL issue.
getting a "Couldn't initialise TLSv1 / SSL error
Use of on-line e-mail accounts with this email client is not possible as it lacks the OpenSSL AmiSSl v3 compatible library
GMail
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com')
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)
Password: your Gmail password
Anyway, the SMTP is pop.gmail.com port 465 and it uses SSLLv3 Authentication. The POP3 settings are for the same server (pop.gmail.com), only on port 995 instead.

Microsoft Outlook Express Mail
1. Get the files to your PC.
By whatever method get the files off your Amiga onto your PC. In the YAM folder you have a number of different folders, one for each of your folders in YAM. Inside that is a file usually some numbers such as 332423.283. YAM created a new file for every single email you received.
2. Open up a brand new Outlook Express. Just configure the account to use 127.0.0.1 as mail servers. It doesn't really matter. You will need to manually create any subfolders you used in YAM.
3. You will need to do a mass rename on all your email files from YAM. Just add a .eml to the end of it. Amazing how PCs still rely mostly on the file name so it knows what sort of file it is rather than just looking at it! There are a number of multiple renamers online to download and free too.
4. Go into each of your folders, inbox, sent items etc. And do a select all then drag the files into Outlook Express (to the relevant folder obviously) Amazingly the file format that YAM used is very compatible with .eml standard and viola your emails appear. With correct dates and working attachments.
5. If you want your email into Microsoft Outlook. Open that up and create a new profile and a new blank PST file. Then go into File Import and choose to import from Outlook Express. And the mail will go into there. And viola.. you have your old email from your Amiga in a more modern day format.
===FTP===
Magellan has a great FTP module. It allows transferring files from/to a FTP server over the Internet or the local network and, even if FTP is perceived as a "thing of the past", its usability is all inside the client. The FTP thing has a nice side effect too, since every Icaros machine can be a FTP server as well, and our files can be easily transferred from an Icaros machine to another with a little configuration effort.
First of all, we need to know the 'server' IP address. Server is the Icaros machine with the file we are about to download on another Icaros machine, that we're going to call 'client'. To do that, move on the server machine and 1) run Prefs/Services to be sure "FTP file transfer" is enabled (if not, enable it and restart Icaros); 2) run a shell and enter this command:
ifconfig -a
Make a note of the IP address for the network interface used by the local area network. For cabled devices, it usually is net0:. Now go on the client machine and run Magellan:
Perform these actions: 1) click on FTP; 2) click on ADDRESS BOOK; 3) click on "New".
You can now add a new entry for your Icaros server machine:
1) Choose a name for your server, in order to spot it immediately in the address book. Enter the IP address you got before.
2) click on Custom Options:
1) go to Miscellaneous in the left menu;
2) Ensure "Passive Transfers" is NOT selected;
3) click on Use. We need to deactivate Passive Transfers because YAFS, the FTP server included in Icaros, only allows active transfers at the current stage. Now, we can finally connect to our new file source:
1) Look into the address book for the newly introduced server, be sure that name and IP address are right, and
2) click on Connect. A new lister with server's "MyWorkspace" contents will appear. You can now transfer files over the network choosing a destination among your local (client's) volumes.
Can be adapted to any FTP client on any platform of your choice, just be sure your client allows Active Transfers as well.
===IRC Internet Relay Chat===
Jabberwocky is ideal for one-to-one social media communication, use IRC if you require one to many.
Just type a message in ''lowercase''' letters and it will be posted to all in the [ AROS irc channel]. Please do not use UPPER CASE as it is a sign of SHOUTING which is annoying.
Other things to type in - replace <message> with a line of text and <nick> with a person's name
<pre>
/help

Double click on Aircos icon in Extras:Networking/Apps/Aircos. It has been set up with a guest account for trial purposes. Though ideally, choose a nickname and password for frequent use of irc.
====IRC and XMPP Jabberwocky====
Servers are setup and close down at random
You sign up to a server that someone else has setup and access chat services through them.
The two ways to access chat from jabberwocky
<pre >
Jabberwocky -> Server -> XMPP -> open and ad-free
Jabberwocky -> Server -> Transports (Gateways) -> Proprietary closed systems
</pre >
The Jabber.org service connects with all IM services that use XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging and presence over the Internet. The services we connect with include Google Talk (closed), Live Journal Talk, Nimbuzz, Ovi, and thousands more. However, you can not connect from Jabber.org to proprietary services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, or Yahoo because they don’t yet use XMPP components (XEP-0114) '''but''' you can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo etc.) instead.
The best way to use jabberwocky is in conjunction with a public jabber server with '''transports''' to your favorite services, like gtalk, Facebook, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc.
You have to register with one of the servers, [https://list.jabber.at/ this list] or [http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ another list], [http://xmpp.net/ this security XMPP list],
Unfortunately jabberwocky can only connect to one server at a time so it is best to check what services each server offers. If you set it up with separate Facebook and google talk accounts, for example, sometimes you'll only get one or the other.
Jabberwocky open a window where the Jabber server part is typed in as well as your Nickname and Password.
Jabber ID (JID) identifies you to the server and other users.
Once registered the next step is to goto Jabberwocky's "Windows" menu and select the "Agents" option. The "Agents List" window will open.
Roster (contacts list)
[http://search.wensley.org.uk/ Chatrooms] (MUC) are available
File Transfer - can send and receive files through the Jabber service but not with other services like IRC, ICQ, AIM or Yahoo. All you need is an installed webbrowser and OpenURL.
Clickable URLs - The message window uses Mailtext.mcc and you can set a URL action in the MUI mailtext prefs like SYS:Utils/OpenURL %s NEWWIN.
There is no consistent Skype like (H.323 VoIP) video conferencing available over Jabber. The move from xmpp to Jingle should help but no support on any amiga-like systems at the moment. [http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/AmiPhoneSrc192 AmiPhone] and [http://www.lysator.liu.se/%28frame,faq,nobg,useframes%29/ahi/v4-site/ Speak Freely] was an early attempt voice only contact. SIP and Asterisk are other PBX options.
Facebook
If you're using the XMPP transport provided by Facebook themselves, chat.facebook.com, it looks like they're now requiring SSL transport. This means jabberwocky method below will no longer work. The best thing to do is to create an ID on a public jabber server which has a Facebook gateway.
<pre >
1. launch jabberwocky
2. if the login window doesn't appear on launch, select 'account' from the jabberwocky menu
3. your jabber ID will be user@chat.facebook.com where user is your user ID
4. your password is your normal facebook password
5. to save this for next time, click the popup gadget next to the ID field
6. click the 'add' button
7. click the 'close' button
8. click the 'connect' button
</pre >
you're done. you can also click the 'save as default account' button if you want. jabberwocky configured to auto-connect when launching the program, but you can configure as you like. there is amigaguide documentation included with jabberwocky.
[http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=37085&forum=32 Read more here]
for Facebook users, you can log-in directly to Facebook with jabberwocky. just sign in as @chat.facebook.com with your Facebook password as the password
Twitter
For a few years, there has been added a twitter transport. Servers include [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/ jabber.hot-chili.net], and .
An [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/tag/how-tos/ How-to]
:Read [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/2010/05/09/twitter-transport-working/ more]
Instagram
no support at the moment best to use a web browser based client
ICQ
The new version (beta) of StriCQ uses a newer ICQ protocol. Most of the ICQ Jabber Transports still use an older ICQ protocol. You can only talk one-way to StriCQ using the older Transports. Only the newer ICQv7 Transport lets you talk both ways to StriCQ. Look at the server lists in the first section to check.
Register on a Jabber server, e.g. this one works: http://www.jabber.de/
Then login into Jabberwocky with the following login data e.g. xxx@jabber.de / Password: xxx Now add your ICQ account under the window->Agents->"Register". Now Jabberwocky connects via the Jabber.de server with your ICQ account.
Yahoo Messenger
although yahoo! does not use xmpp protocol, you should be able to use the transport methods to gain access and post your replies
MSN
early months of 2013 Microsoft will ditch MSN Messenger client and force everyone to use Skype...but MSN protocol and servers will keep working as usual for quite a long time....
Occasionally the Messenger servers have been experiencing problems signing in. You may need to sign in at www.outlook.com and then try again. It may also take multiple tries to sign in. (This also affects you if you’re using Skype.)
You have to check each servers' Agents List to see what transports (MSN protocol, ICQ protocol, etc.) are supported or use the list address' provided in the section above. Then register with each transport (IRC, MSN, ICQ, etc.) to which you need access. After registering you can Connect to start chatting.
msn.jabber.com/registered should appear in the window.
From this [http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-jabberwocky/message/1378 JW group] guide which helps with this process in a clear, step by step procedure.
1. Sign up on MSN's site for a passport account. This typically involves getting a Hotmail address.
2. Log on to the Jabber server of your choice and do the following:
* Select the "Windows/Agents" menu option in Jabberwocky.
* Select the MSN Agent from the list presented by the server.
* Click the Register button to open a new window asking for:
**Username = passort account email address, typically your hotmail address.
**Nick = Screen name to be shown to anyone you add to your buddy list.
**Password = Password for your passport account/hotmail address.
* Click the Register button at the bottom of the new window.
3. If all goes well, you will see the MSN Gateway added to your buddy list. If not, repeat part 2 on another server. Some servers may show MSN in their list of available agents, but have not updated their software for the latest protocols used by MSN.
4. Once you are registered, you can now add people to your buddy list. Note that you need to include the '''msn.''' ahead of the servername so that it knows what gateway agent to use. Some servers may use a slight variation and require '''msg.gate.''' before the server name, so try both to see what works.
If my friend's msn was amiga@hotmail.co.uk and my jabber server was @jabber.meta.net.nz..
then amiga'''%'''hotmail.com@'''msn.'''jabber.meta.net.nz
or another the trick to import MSN contacts is that you don't type the hotmail URL but the passport URL... e.g. Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com You type: goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com
And the thing about importing contacts I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time...
Google Talk
any XMPP server will work, but you have to add your contacts manually. a google talk user is typically either @gmail.com or @talk.google.com. a true gtalk transport is nice because it brings your contacts to you and (can) also support file transfers to/from google talk users.
implement Jingle a set of extensions to the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)
support ended early 2014 as Google moved to Google+ Hangouts which uses it own proprietary format

MPlayer supports multicast streaming, and rtp/rtsp protocols (it might require [http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ live555 library] to work with some streams). But you might have to build it where it's disabled. Also, multicast won't work with some AmiTCP-likes. MIAMI supported it, though.
AROS supports IPv4 (old but works) and this includes the needed address space for RTP.
If you mean multicast via RTP - mplayer handles it. You can even force UDP over TCP

====ZunePaint====
simplified typical workflow
* importing and organizing and photo management
* making global and regional local correction(s) - recalculation is necessary after each adjustment as it is not in real-time
* exporting your images in the best format available with the preservation of metadata
Whilst achieving 80% of a great photo with just a filter, the remaining 20% comes from a manual fine-tuning of specific image attributes.
For photojournalism, documentary, and event coverage, minimal touching is recommended. Stick to Camera Raw for such shots, and limit changes to level adjustment, sharpness, noise reduction, and white balance correction.
For fashion or portrait shoots, a large amount of adjustment is allowed and usually ends up far from the original. Skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye touch-ups, etc. are common. Might alter the background a bit to emphasize the subject.
Product photography usually requires a lot of sharpening, spot removal, and focus stacking.
For landscape shots, best results are achieved by doing the maximum amount of preparation before/while taking the shot. No amount of processing can match timing, proper lighting, correct gear, optimal settings, etc. Excessive post-processing might give you a dramatic shot but best avoided in the long term.
* White Balance - Left Amiga or F12 and K and under "Misc color effects" tab with a pull down for White Balance - color temperature also known as AKA tint (movies) or tones (painting) - warm temp raise red reduce green blue - cool raise blue lower red green
* Exposure - exposure compensation, highlight/shadow recovery
* Noise Reduction - during RAW development or using external software
* Lens Corrections - distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations
* Detail - capture sharpening and local contrast enhancement
* Contrast - black point, levels (sliders) and curves tools (F12 and K)
* Framing - straighten () and crop (F12 and F)
* Refinements - color adjustments and selective enhancements - Left Amiga or F12 and K for RGB and YUV histogram tabs -
* Resizing - enlarge for a print or downsize for the web or email (F12 and D)
* Output Sharpening - customized for your subject matter and print/screen size
White Balance - F12 and K
scan your image for a shade which was meant to be white (neutral with each RGB value being equal) like paper or plastic which is in the same light as the subject of the picture. Use the dropper tool to select this color, similar colours will shift and you will have selected the perfect white balance for your part of the image - for the whole picture make sure RAZ or CLR button at the bottom is pressed before applying to the image above.
Exposure correction
F12 and K - YUV Y luminosity - RGB extra red tint - move red curve slightly down and move blue green curves slightly up
Workflows in practice
* Undo - Right AROS key or F12 and Z
* Redo - Right AROS key or F12 and R
First flatten your image (if necessary) and then do a rotation until the picture looks level.
* Crop the picture. Click the selection button and drag a box over the area of the picture you want to keep. Press the crop button and the rest of the photo will be gone.
* Adjust your saturation, exposure, hue levels, etc., (right AROS Key and K for color correction) until you are happy with the photo. Make sure you zoom in all of the way to 100% and look the photo over, zoom back out and move around. Look for obvious problems with the picture.
* After coloring and exposure do a sharpen (Right AROS key and E for Convolution and select drop down option needed), e.g. set the matrix to 5x5 (roughly equivalent Amount to 60%) and set the Radius to 1.0. Click OK.
And save your picture
Implemented or would like to see for simplification and ease of use
basic filters (presets) like black and white, monochrome, edge detection (sobel), motion/gaussian blur,

perspective correction
levels - directly modify the levels of the tone-values of an image, by using sliders for highlights, midtones and shadows
curves - Color Adjustment and Brightness/Contrast
color balance
one single color transparent (alpha channel (color information/selections) for masking and/or blending ) for backgrounds, etc.
Threshold indicates how much other colors will be considered mixture of the removed color and non-removed colors
decompose layer into a set of layers with each holding a different type of pattern that is visible within the image
any selection using any selecting tools like lasso tool, marquee tool etc. the selection will temporarily be save to alpha
If you create your image without transparency then the Alpha channel is not present, but you can add later.
File formats like .psd (Photoshop file has layers, masks etc. contains edited sensor data. The original sensor data is no longer available) .xcf .raw .hdr
Image Picture Formats
* low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF 8-bit), 16-bit (PPM, TIFF), typically as a 16-bit TIFF in either ProPhoto or AdobeRGB colorspace - TIFF files are also fairly universal – although, if they contain proprietary data, such as Photoshop Adjustment Layers or Smart Filters, then they can only be opened by Photoshop making them proprietary.
* linear high dynamic range (HDR) images (PFM, [http://www.openexr.com/ ILM .EXR], jpg, [http://aminet.net/util/dtype cr2] (canon tiff based), hdr, NEF, CRW, ARW, MRW, ORF, RAF (Fuji), PEF, DCR, SRF, ERF, DNG files are RAW converted to an Adobe proprietary format - a container that can embed the raw file as well as the information needed to open it)
An old version of [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&cat=graphics/convert dcraw]
There is no single RAW file format. Each camera manufacturer has one or more unique RAW formats. RAW files contain the brightness levels data captured by the camera sensor. This data cannot be modified. A second smaller file, separate XML file, or within a database with instructions for the RAW processor to change exposure, saturation etc. The extra data can be changed but the original sensor data is still there. RAW is technically least compatible.
A raw file is high-bit (usually 12 or 14 bits of information) but a camera-generated TIFF file will be usually converted by the camera (compressed, downsampled) to 8 bits. The raw file has no embedded color balance or color space, but the TIFF has both. These three things (smaller bit depth, embedded color balance, and embedded color space) make it so that the TIFF will lose quality more quickly with image adjustments than the raw file. The camera-generated TIFF image is much more like a camera processed JPEG than a raw file. A strong advantage goes to the raw file. The power of RAW files, such as the ability to set any color temperature non-destructively and will contain more tonal values.
The principle of preserving the maximum amount of information to as late as possible in the process. The final conversion - which will always effectively represent a "downsampling" - should prevent as much loss as possible.
Once you save it as TIFF, you throw away some of that data irretrievably. When saving in the lossy JPEG format, you get tremendous file size savings, but you've irreversibly thrown away a lot of image data. As long as you have the RAW file, original or otherwise, you have access to all of the image data as captured.

Cutting out and/or replacing unwanted background or features - select large areas with the selection option like the Magic Wand tool (aka Color Range) or the Lasso (quick and fast) with feather 2 to soften edge or the pen tool which adds points/lines/Bézier curves (better control but slower), hold down the shift button as you click to add extra points/areas of the subject matter to remove. Increase the tolerance to cover more areas. To subtract from your selection hold down alt as you're clicking.
* Layer masks are a better way of working than Erase they clip (black hides/hidden white visible/reveal). Clone Stamp can be simulated by and brushes for other areas.
* Leave the fine details like hair, fur, etc. to later with lasso and the shift key to draw a line all the way around your subject.

* YUV - Y-Lightness U-blue/yellow V-red/cyan (similar to YPbPr and YCbCr) used in the PAL, NTSC, and SECAM composite digital TV color [http://crewofone.com/2012/chroma-subsampling-and-transcoding/#comment-7299 video]
Histograms
White balanced (neutral) if the spike happens in the same place in each channel of the RGB graphs. If not, you're not balanced.
If you have sky you'll see the blue channel further off to the right.
RGB is best one to change colours. These elements RGB is a 3-channel format containing data for Red, Green, and Blue in your photo scale between 0 and 255. The area in a picture that appears to be brighter/whiter contains more red color as compared to the area which is relatively darker. Similarly in the green channel the area that appears to be darker contains less amount of green color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Similarly in the blue channel the area appears to be darker contains less amount of blue color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Brightness luminance histogram also matches the green histogram more than any other color - human eye interprets green better e.g. RGB rough ratio 15/55/30%
RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel) . The alpha channel is used for "alpha compositing", which can mostly be associated as "opacity". AROS deals in RGB with two digits for every color (red, green, blue), in ARGB you have two additional hex digits for the alpha channel.
The shadows are represented by the left third of the graph. The highlights are represented by the right third. And the midtones are, of course, in the middle. The higher the black peaks in the graph, the more pixels are concentrated in that tonal range (total black area).
By moving the black endpoint, which identifies the shadows (darkness) and a white light endpoint (brightness) up and down either sides of the graph, colors are adjusted based on these points.
By dragging the central one, can increased the midtones and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative .
RGB Curves
* Move left endpoint (black point) up or right endpoint (white point) up brightens
* Move left endpoint down or right endpoint down darkens
Color Curves
* Dragging up on the Red Curve increases the intensity of the reds in the image but
* Dragging down on the Red Curve decreases the intensity of the reds and thus increases the apparent intensity of its complimentary color, cyan. Green’s complimentary color is magenta, and blue’s is yellow.
<pre>
Red <-> Cyan
Green <->Magenta
Blue <->Yellow
</pre>
YUV Best option to analyse and pull out statistical elements of any picture (i.e. separate luminance data from color data). The line in Y luma tone box represents the brightness of the image with the point in the bottom left been black, and the point in the top right as white. A low-contrast image has a concentrated clump of values nearer to the center of the graph. By comparison, a high-contrast image has a wider distribution of values across the entire width of the Histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right would indicate a picture that is a bit overexposed because most of the color data is on the lighter side (increase exposure with higher value F), while a histogram with the curve on the left shows a picture that is underexposed. This is good information to have when using post-processing software because it shows you not only where the color data exists for a given picture, but also where any data has been clipped (extremes on edges of either side): that is, it does not exist and, therefore, cannot be edited. By dragging the endpoints of the line and as well as the central one, can increased the dark/shadows, midtones and light/bright parts and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative .
The U and V chroma parts show color difference components of the image. It’s useful for checking whether or not the overall chroma is too high, and also whether it’s being limited too much
Can be used to create a negative image but also
With U (Cb), the higher value you are, the more you're on the blue primary color. If you go to the low values then you're on blue complementary color, i.e. yellow.
With V (Cr), this is the same principle but with Red and Cyan.
e.g. If you push U full blue and V full red, you get magenta. If you push U full yellow and V full Cyan then you get green.
YUV simultaneously adds to one side of the color equation while subtracting from the other.
using YUV to do color correction can be very problematic because each curve alters the result of each other: the mutual influence between U and V often makes things tricky. You may also be careful in what you do to avoid the raise of noise (which happens very easily). Best results are obtained with little adjustments
sunset that looks uninspiring and needs some color pop especially for the rays over the hill, a subtle contrast raise while setting luma values back to the legal range without hard clipping.

There is not much missing in Lunapaint to be as good as FlipBook and then you have to take into account that Flipbook is considered to be amongst the best and easiest to use animation software out there. Ok to be honest Flipbook has some nice features that require more heavy work but those aren't so much needed right away, things like camera effects, sound, smart fill, export to different movie file formats etc.
Tried Flipbook with my tablet and compared it to Luna. The feeling is the same when sketching. LunaPaint is very responsive/fluent to draw with. Just as Flipbook is, and that responsiveness is something its users have mentioned as one of the positive sides of said software.
author was learning MUI. Some parts just have to be rewritten with proper MUI classes before new features can be added.
* add [Frame Add] / [Frame Del]
* whole animation feature is impossible to use. If you draw 2 color maybe but if you start coloring your cells then you get in trouble
* pickup the entire image as a brush, not just a selection ? And consequently remove the brush from memory when one doesn't need it anymore. can pick up a brush and put it onto a new image but cropping isn't possible, nor to load/save brushes.
* Undo is something I longed for ages in Lunapaint.
* to import into the current layer, other types of images (e.g. JPEG) besides RAW64.
* implement graphic tablet features support
**GENERAL DRAWING**
Miss it very much:
UNDO
ERASER
COLORPICKER - has to show on palette too which color got picked.
BACKGROUND COLOR -Possibility to select from "New project screen"
Miss it somewhat:
ICON for UNDO
ICON for ERASER
ICON for CLEAR SCREEN ( What can I say? I start over from scratch very often )
BRUSH - possibility to cut out as brush not just copy off image to brush
**ANIMATING**
Miss it very much:
NUMBER OF CELLS - Possibity to change total no. of cells during project
ANIM BRUSH - Possibility to pick up a selected part of cells into an animbrush
Miss it somewhat:
ADD/REMOVE FRAMES: Add/remove single frame
In general LunaPaint is really well done and it feels like a new DeluxePaint version. It works with my tablet. Sure there's much missing of course but things can always be added over time. So there is great potential in LunaPaint that's for sure. Animations could be made in it and maybe put together in QuickVideo, saving in .gif or .mng etc some day.
LAYERS
-Layers names don't get saved globally in animation frames
-Layers order don't change globally in an animation (perhaps as default?).
EXPORTING IMAGES
-Exporting frames to JPG/PNG gives problems with colors. (wrong colors. See my animatiopn --> My robot was blue now it's "gold" ) I think this only happens if you have layers.
-Trying to flatten the layers before export doesn't work if you have animation frames only the one you have visible will flatten properly all other frames are destroyed. (Only one of the layers are visible on them)
-Exporting images filenames should be for example e.g. file0001, file0002...file0010 instead as of now file1, file2...file10
LOAD/SAVE (Preferences)
-Make a setting for the default "Work" folder.
* Destroyed colors if exported image/frame has layers
* mystic color cycling of the selected color while stepping frames back/forth (annoying)

# change the text alignment within the textbox. I can choose left, center, or right aligned by either changing the integer in the second column from 0 (left) to 1 or 2 (center, or right).
# The third integer in the row specifies fontcolor. For instance, 0 is black, but blue is 1 and Green3 is 13.
# The sixth integer in the bottom row specifies fontface. 0 is Times-Roman, but 16 is Helvetica (a MATLAB default).
# The seventh number is fontsize. 12 represents a 12pt fontsize. Changing the fontsize of an item really is as easy as changing that number to 20.
# The next number is the counter-clockwise angle of the text. Notice that I have changed the angle to .7854 (pi/4 rounded to four digits=45 degrees).
# twelfth number is the position according to the standard “x-axis” in Xfig units from the left. Note that 1200 Xfig units is equivalent to once inch.
# thirteenth number is the “y-position” from the top using the same unit convention as before.
* The nested text string is what you entered into the textbox.
* The “01″ present at the end of that line in the .fig file is the closing tag. For instance, a change to \100 appends a @ symbol at the end of the period of that sentence.

===Audio===
# AHI uses linear panning/balance, which means that in the center, you will get -6dB. If an app uses panning, this is what you will get. Note that apps like Audio Evolution need panning, so they will have this problem.
# When using AHI Hifi modes, mixing is done in 32-bit and sent as 32-bit data to the driver. The Envy24HT driver uses that to output at 24-bit (always).
# For the Envy24/Envy24HT, I've made 16-bit and 24-bit inputs (called Line-in 16-bit, Line-in 24-bit etc.). There is unfortunately no app that can handle 24-bit recording.
====Music Mods====
Digital module (mods) trackers are music creation software using samples and sometimes soundfonts, audio plugins (VST, AU or RTAS), MIDI.
Generally, MODs are similar to MIDI in that they contain note on/off and other sequence messages that control the mod player. Unlike (most) midi files, however, they also contain sound samples that the sequence information actually plays. MOD files can have many channels (classic amiga mods have 4, corresponding to the inbuilt sound channels), but unlike MIDI, each channel can typically play only one note at once. However, since that note might be a sample of a chord, a drumloop or other complex sound, this is not as limiting as it sounds.
Like MIDI, notes will play indefinitely if they're not instructed to end. Most trackers record this information automatically if you play your music in live. If you're using manual note entry, you can enter a note-off command with a keyboard shortcut - usually Caps Lock.
In fact when considering file size MOD is not always the best option. Even a dummy song wastes few kilobytes for nothing when a simple SID tune could be few hundreds bytes and not bigger than 64kB. AHX is another small format, AHX tunes are never larger than 64kB excluding comments.

*Sample
*Note - Effect
*Track (column) - Pattern - Order
It all starts with the Sample which is used to create Note(s) in a Track (column of a tracker)
The Note can be changed with an Effect. A Track of Note(s) can be collected into a Pattern (section of a song) and these can be given Order to create the whole song.
Patience (notes have to be entered one at a time) or playing the bassline on a midi controller (faster - see midi section above). Best approach is to wait until a melody popped into your head.
*Up-tempo means the track should be reasonably fast, but not super-fast.
*Groovy and funky imply the track should have some sort of "swing" feel, with plenty of syncopation or off beat emphasis and a recognizable, melodic bass line.
*Sweet and happy mean upbeat melodies, a major key and avoiding harsh sounds.
*Moody - minor key
First, create a quick bass sound, which is basically a sine wave, but can be hand drawn for a little more variance. It could also work for the melody part, too.
This is usually a bass guitar or some kind of synthesizer bass. The bass line is often forgotten by inexperienced composers, but it plays an important role in a musical piece. Together with the rhythm section the bass line forms the groove of a song. It's the glue between the rhythm section and the melodic layer of a song.
The drums are just pink noise samples, played at different frequencies to get a slightly different sound for the kick, snare, and hihats.
Instruments that fall into the rhythm category are bass drums, snares, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, congas, tambourines, shakers, etc. Any percussive instrument can be used to form part of the rhythm section.
The lead is the instrument that plays the main melody, on top of the chords. There are many instruments that can play a lead section, like a guitar, a piano, a saxophone or a flute. The list is almost endless. There is a lot of overlap with instruments that play chords. Often in one piece an instrument serves both roles. The lead melody is often played at a higher pitch than the chords.
Listened back to what was produced so far, and a counter-melody can be imagined, which can be added with a triangle wave.
To give the ends of phrases some life, you can add a solo part with a crunchy synth. By hitting random notes in the key of G, then edited a few of them.
For the climax of the song, filled out the texture with a gentle high-pitch pad… …and a grungy bass synth.
The arrow at A points at the pattern order list. As you see, the patterns don't have to be in numerical order. This song starts with pattern "00", then pattern "02", then "03", then "01", etcetera. Patterns may be repeated throughout a song.
The B arrow points at the song title. Below it are the global BPM and speed parameters. These determine the tempo of the song, unless the tempo is altered through effect commands during the song.
The C arrow points at the list of instruments. An instrument may consist of multiple samples. Which sample will be played depends on the note. This can be set in the Instrument Editing screen. Most instruments will consist of just one sample, though. The sample list for the selected instrument can be found under arrow D.
Here's a part of the main editing screen. This is where you put in actual notes. Up to 32 channels can be used, meaning 32 sounds can play simultaneously. The first six channels of pattern "03" at order "02" are shown here. The arrow at A points at the row number. The B arrow points at the note to play, in this case a C4. The column pointed at by the C arrow tells us which instrument is associated with that note, in this case instrument #1 "Kick".
The column at D is used (mainly) for volume commands. In this case it is left empty which means the instrument should play at its default volume. You can see the volume column being used in channel #6.
The E column tells us which effect to use and any parameters for that effect. In this case it holds the "F" effect, which is a tempo command. The "04" means it should play at tempo 4 (a smaller number means faster).
Base pattern
When I create a new track I start with what I call the base pattern. It is worthwhile to spend some time polishing it as a lot of the ideas in the base pattern will be copied and used in other patterns. At least, that's how I work. Every musician will have his own way of working. In "Wild Bunnies" the base pattern is pattern "03" at order "02".
In the section about selecting samples I talked about the four different categories of instruments: drums, bass, chords and leads. That's also how I usually go about making the base pattern. I start by making a drum pattern, then add a bass line, place some chords and top it off with a lead. This forms the base pattern from which the rest of the song will grow.
Drums
Here's a screenshot of the first four rows of the base pattern. I usually reserve the first four channels or so for the drum instruments. Right away there are a couple of tricks shown here. In the first channel the kick, or bass drum, plays some notes. Note the alternating F04 and F02 commands. The "F" command alters the tempo of the song and by quickly alternating the tempo; the song will get some kind of "swing" feel.
In the second channel the closed hi-hat plays a fairly simple pattern. Further down in the channel, not shown here, some open hi-hat notes are added for a bit of variation.
In the third and fourth channel the snare sample plays. The "8" command is for panning. One note is panned hard to the left and the other hard to the right. One sample is played a semitone lower than the other. This results in a cool flanging effect. It makes the snare stand out a little more in the mix.
Bass line
There are two different instruments used for the bass line. Instrument #6 is a pretty standard synthesized bass sound. Instrument #A sounds a bit like a slap bass when used with a quick fade out. By using two different instruments the bass line sounds a bit more ”human”. The volume command is used to cut off the notes. However, it is never set to zero. Setting the volume to a very small value will result in a reverb-like effect. This makes the song sound more "live".
The bass line hints at the chords that will be played and the key the song will be in. In this case the key of the song is D-major, a positive and happy key.
Chords
The D major chords that are being played here are chords stabs; short sounds with a quick decay (fade out). Two different instruments (#8 and #9) are used to form the chords. These instruments are quite similar, but have a slightly different sound, panning and volume decay. Again, the reason for this is to make the sound more human. The volume command is used on some chords to simulate a delay, to achieve more of a live feel. The chords are placed off-beat making for a funky rhythm.
Lead
Finally the lead melody is added. The other instruments are invaluable in holding the track together, but the lead melody is usually what catches people's attention.
A lot of notes and commands are used here, but it looks more complex than it is. A stepwise ascending melody plays in channel 13. Channel 14 and 15 copy this melody, but play it a few rows later at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect. A bit of panning is used on the notes to create some stereo depth. Like with the bass line, instead of cutting off notes the volume is set to low values for a reverb effect. The "461" effect adds a little vibrato to the note, which sounds nice on sustained notes.
Those paying close attention may notice the instrument used here for the lead melody is the same as the one used for the bass line (#6 "Square"), except played two or three octaves higher. This instrument is a looped square wave sample. Each type of wave has its own quirks, but the square wave (shown below) is a really versatile wave form.
Song structure
Good, catchy songs are often carefully structured into sections, some of which are repeated throughout the song with small variations.
A typical pop-song structure is: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus.
Other single sectional song structures are
<pre>
Strophic or AAA Song Form - oldest story telling with refrain (often title of the song) repeated in every verse section melody
AABA Song Form - early popular, jazz and gospel fading during the 1960s
AB or Verse/Chorus Song Form - songwriting format of choice for modern popular music since the 1960s
Verse/Chorus/Bridge Song Form
ABAB Song Form
ABAC Song Form
ABCD Song Form
AAB 12-Bar Song Form - three four-bar lines or sub-sections
8-Bar Song Form
16-Bar Song Form
Hybrid / Compound Song Forms
</pre>
The most common building blocks are:
#INTRODUCTION(INTRO)
#VERSE
#REFRAIN
#PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB
#CHORUS
#BRIDGE
#MIDDLE EIGHT
#SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
#COLLISION
#CODA / OUTRO
#AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO)
The chorus usually has more energy than the verse and often has a memorable melody line. As the chorus is repeated the most often during the song, it will be the part that people will remember.
The bridge often marks a change of direction in the song. It is not uncommon to change keys in the bridge, or at least to use a different chord sequence. The bridge is used to build up tension towards the big finale, the last repetition of chorus.

The Set Volume command: C. Input a note, then move the cursor to the effects command column and type a C. Play the pattern, and you shouldn't be able to hear the note you placed the C by. This is because the effect parameters are 00. Change the two zeros to a 40(Hex)/64(Dec), depending on what your tracker uses. Play back the pattern again, and the note should come in at full volume.
The Position Jump command next. This is just a B followed by the position in the playing list that you want to jump to. One thing to remember is that the playing list always starts at 0, not 1. This command is usually in Hex.
Onto the volume slide command: A. This is slightly more complex (much more if you're using a newer tracker, if you want to achieve the results here, then set slides to Amiga, not linear), due to the fact it depends on the secondary tempo. For now set a secondary tempo of 06 (you can play around later), load a long or looped sample and input a note or two. A few rows after a note type in the effect command A. For the parameters use 0F. Play back the pattern, and you should notice that when the effect kicks in, the sample drops to a very low volume very quickly. Change the effect parameters to F0, and use a low volume command on the note. Play back the pattern, and when the slide kicks in the volume of the note should increase very quickly.
This because each part of the effect parameters for command A does a different thing. The first number slides the volume up, and the second slides it down. It's not recommended that you use both a volume up and volume down at the same time, due to the fact the tracker only looks for the first number that isn't set to 0. If you specify parameters of 8F, the tracker will see the 8, ignore the F, and slide the volume up. Using a slide up and down at same time just makes you look stupid. Don't do it...
The Set Tempo command: F, is pretty easy to understand. You simply specify the BPM (in Hex) that you want to change to. One important thing to note is that values of lower than 20 (Hex) sets the secondary tempo rather than the primary.
Another useful command is the Pattern Break: D. This will stop the playing of the current pattern and skip to the next one in the playing list. By using parameters of more than 00 you can also specify which line to begin playing from.
Command 3 is Portamento to Note. This slides the currently playing note to another note, at a specified speed. The slide then stops when it reaches the desired note.
<pre>
C-2 1 000 - Starts the note playing
--- 000
C-3 330 - Starts the slide to C-3 at a speed of 30.
--- 300 - Continues the slide
--- 300 - Continues the slide
</pre>
Once the parameters have been set, the command can be input again without any parameters, and it'll still perform the same function unless you change the parameters. This memory function allows certain commands to function correctly, such as command 5, which is the Portamento to Note and Volume Slide command. Once command 3 has been set up command 5 will simply take the parameters from that and perform a Portamento to Note. Any parameters set up for command 5 itself simply perform a Volume Slide identical to command A at the same time as the Portamento to Note.
This memory function will only operate in the same channel where the original parameters were set up.
There are various other commands which perform two functions at once. They will be described as we come across them.
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 00
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 02
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 05
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 08
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0A
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0D
C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 10
(You can also switch on the Slider Rec to On, and perform parameter-live-recording, such as cutoff transitions, resonance or panning tweaking, etc..) Note: this command only works for volume/panning and fx datas columns.
The next command we'll look at is the Portamento up/down: 1 and 2. Command 1 slides the pitch up at a specified speed, and 2 slides it down. This command works in a similar way to the volume slide, in that it is dependent on the secondary tempo. Both these commands have a memory dependent on each other, if you set the slide to a speed of 3 with the 1 command, a 2 command with no parameters will use the speed of 3 from the 1 command, and vice versa.
Command 4 is Vibrato. Vibrato is basically rapid changes in pitch, just try it, and you'll see what I mean. Parameters are in the format of xy, where x is the speed of the slide, and y is the depth of the slide. One important point to remember is to keep your vibratos subtle and natural so a depth of 3 or less and a reasonably fast speed, around 8, is usually used. Setting the depth too high can make the part sound out of tune from the rest.
Following on from command 4 is command 6. This is the Vibrato and Volume Slide command, and it has a memory like command 5, which you already know how to use.
Command 7 is Tremolo. This is similar to vibrato. Rather than changing the pitch it slides the volume. The effect parameters are in exactly the same format. vibrato effect (0x1dxy) x = speed y = depth (can't be used if arpeggio (0x1b) is turned on)
<pre>
C-7 00 .. .. 1B37 <- Turn Arpeggio effect on
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 1B38 <- Change datas
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 1B00 <- Turn it off
</pre>
Command 9 is Sample Offset. This starts the playback of the sample from a different place than the start. The effect parameters specify the sample offset, but only very roughly. Say you have a sample which is 8765(Hex) bytes long, and you wanted it to play from position 4321(Hex). The effect parameter could only be as accurate as the 43 part, and it would ignore the 21.
Command B is the Playing List/Order Jump command. The parameters specify the position in the Playing List/Order to jump to. When used in conjunction with command D you can specify the position and the line to play from.
Command E is pretty complex, as it is used for a lot of different things, depending on what the first parameter is. Let's take a trip through each effect in order.
Command E0 controls the hardware filter on an Amiga, which, as a low pass filter, cuts off the highest frequencies being played back. There are very few players and trackers on other system that simulate this function, not that you should need to use it. The second parameter, if set to 1, turns on the filter. If set to 0, the filter gets turned off.
Commands E1/E2 are Fine Portamento Up/Down. Exactly the same functions as commands 1/2, except that they only slide the pitch by a very small amount. These commands have a memory the same as 1/2 as well.
Command E3 sets the Glissando control. If parameters are set to 1 then when using command 3, any sliding will only use the notes in between the original note and the note being slid to. This produces a somewhat jumpier slide than usual. The best way to understand is to try it out for yourself. Produce a slow slide with command 3, listen to it, and then try using E31.
Command E4 is the Set Vibrato Waveform control. This command controls how the vibrato command slides the pitch. Parameters are 0 - Sine, 1 - Ramp Down (Saw), 2 - Square. By adding 4 to the parameters, the waveform will not be restarted when a new note is played e.g. 5 - Sine without restart.
Command E5 sets the Fine Tune of the instrument being played, but only for the particular note being played. It will override the default Fine Tune for the instrument. The parameters range from 0 to F, with 0 being -8 and F being +8 Fine Tune. A parameter of 8 gives no Fine Tune. If you're using a newer tracker that supports more than -8 to +8 e.g. -128 to +128, these parameters will give a rough Fine Tune, accurate to the nearest 16.
Command E6 is the Jump Loop command. You mark the beginning of the part of a pattern that you want to loop with E60, and then specify with E6x the end of the loop, where x is the number of times you want it to loop.
Command E7 is the Set Tremolo Waveform control. This has exactly the same parameters as command E4, except that it works for Tremolo rather than Vibrato.
Command E9 is for Retriggering the note quickly. The parameter specifies the interval between the retrigs. Use a value of less than the current secondary tempo, or else the note will not get retrigged.
Command EA/B are for Fine Volume Slide Up/Down. Much the same as the normal Volume Slides, except that these are easier to control since they don't depend on the secondary tempo. The parameters specify the amount to slide by e.g. if you have a sample playing at a volume of 08 (Hex) then the effect EA1 will slide this volume to 09 (Hex). A subsequent effect of EB4 would slide this volume down to 05 (Hex).
Command EC is the Note Cut. This sets the volume of the currently playing note to 0 at a specified tick. The parameters should be lower than the secondary tempo or else the effect won't work.
Command ED is the Note Delay. This should be used at the same time as a note is to be played, and the parameters will specify the number of ticks to delay playing the note. Again, keep the parameters lower than the secondary tempo, or the note won't get played!
Command EE is the Pattern Delay. This delays the pattern for the amount of time it would take to play a certain number of rows. The parameters specify how many rows to delay for.
Command EF is the Funk Repeat command. Set the sample loop to 0-1000. When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000- 2000, then to 2000-3000 etc. After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0- 1000. The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x. E is two times as slow as F, D is three times as slow as F etc. EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset the loop (to 0-1000).
effects 0x41 and 0x42 to control the volumes of the 2 303 units
There is a dedicated panel for synth parameter editing with coherent sections (osc, filter modulation, routing, so on) the interface is much nicer, much better to navigate with customizable colors, the reverb is now customizable (10 delay lines), It accepts newer types of Waves (higher bit rates, at least 24). Has a replay routine.
It's pretty much your basic VA synth. The problem isn't with the sampler being to high it's the synth is tuned two octaves too low, but if you want your samples tuned down just set the base note down 2 octaves (in the instrument panel).
so the synth is basically divided into 3 sections from left to right: oscillators/envelopes, then filter and LFO's, and in the right column you have mod routings and global settings.
for the oscillator section you have two normal oscillators (sine, saw, square, noise), the second of which is tunable, the first one tunes with the key pressed. Attached to OSC 1 is a sub-oscillator, which is a sawtooth wave tuned one octave down. The phase modulation controls the point in the duty cycle at which the oscillator starts. The ADSR envelope sliders (grouped with oscs) are for modulation envelope 1 and 2 respectively. you can use the synth as a sampler by choosing the instrument at the top.
In the filter column, the filter settings are: 1 = lowpass, 2 = highpass, 3 = off. cutoff and resonance. For the LFOs they are LFO 1 and LFO 2, the ADSR sliders in those are for the LFO itself.
For the modulation routings you have ENV 1, LFO 1 for the first slider and ENV 2, LFO 2 for the second, you can cycle through the individual routings there, and you can route each modulation source to multiple destinations of course, which is another big plus for this synth. Finally the glide time is for portamento and master volume, well, the master volume... it can go quite loud.
The sequencer is changed too, It's more like the one in AXS if you've used that, where you can mute tracks to re-use patterns with variation.

Bars and Pipes Pro 2.5 is using internal 4-Byte IDs, to check which kind of data are currently processed.
Especially in all its files the IDs play an important role. The IDs are stored into the file in the same order they are laid out in the memory.
In a Bars 'N' Pipes file (no matter which kind) the ID "NAME" (saved as its ANSI-values) is stored on a big endian system (68k-computer) as "NAME". On a little endian system (x86 PC computer) as "EMAN". The target is to make the AROS-BnP compatible to songs, which were stored on a 68k computer (AMIGA).

SMF is a “Standard Midi File” ([http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~ich/classes/mumt306/StandardMIDIfileformat.html SMF0, SMF1 and SMF2]), [https://github.com/stump/libsmf libsmf], [https://github.com/markc/midicomp MIDIcomp], [https://github.com/MajicDesigns/MD_MIDIFile C++ src], [], [https://github.com/newdigate/midi-smf-reader Midi player],
* SMF0 All MIDI data is stored in one track only, separated exclusively by the MIDI channel.
* SMF1 The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks/channels.
* SMF2 (rarely used) The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks, which are additionally wrapped in containers, so it's possible to have e.g. several tracks using the same MIDI channels.
Would it be possible to enrich Bars N’Pipes with software synth and sample support along with audio recording and mastering tools like in the named MAC or PC music sequencers?
On the classic AMIGA-OS this is not possible because of missing CPU-power. The hardware of the classic AMIGA is not further developed. So we must say (unfortunately) that those dreams can’t become reality
BarsnPipes is best used with external MIDI-equipment. This can be a keyboard or synthesizer with MIDI-connectors.

MIDI can control 16 channels
There are USB-MIDI-Interfaces on the market with 16 independent MIDI-lines (multi-port), which can handle 16 MIDI devices independently – 16×16 = 256 independent MIDI-channels or instruments
handle up to 16 different USB-MIDI-Interfaces (multi-device). That is: 16X16X16 = 4096 independent MIDI-channels – theoretically

Protrekkr
How to use Midi In/Out in Protrekkr ?
First of all, midi in & out capabilities of this program are rather limited.
# Go to Misc. Setup section and select a midi in or out device to use (ptk only supports one device at a time).
# Go to instrument section, and select a MIDI PRG (the default is N/A, which means no midi program selected).
# Go to track section and here you can assign a midi channel to each track of ptk.
# Play notes :]. Note off works. F'x' note cut command also works too, and note-volume command (speed) is supported.
Also, you can change midicontrollers in the tracker, using '90' in the panning row:
<pre>
C-3 02 .. .. 0000....
--- .. .. 90 xxyy.... << This will set the value
--- .. .. .. 0000.... of the controller n.'xx' to 'yy' (both in hex)
--- .. .. .. 0000....
</pre>
So "--- .. .. 90 2040...." will set the controller number $20(32) to $40(64).
You will need the midi implementation table of your gear to know what you can change with midi controller messages.
N.B. Not all MIDI devices are created equal!
Although the MIDI specification defines a large range of MIDI messages of various kinds, not every MIDI device is required to work in exactly the same way and respond to all the available messages and ways of working. For example, we don't expect a wind synthesiser to work in the same way as a home keyboard.
Some devices, the older ones perhaps, are only able to respond to a single channel. With some of those devices that channel can be altered from the default of 1 (probably) to another channel of the 16 possible.
Other devices, for instance monophonic synthesisers, are capable of producing just one note at a time, on one MIDI channel. Others can produce many notes spread across many channels.
Further devices can respond to, and transmit, "breath controller" data (MIDI controller number 2 (CC#2)) others may respond to the reception of CC#2 but not be able to create and to send it.
A controller keyboard may be capable of sending "expression pedal" data, but another device may not be capable of responding to that message.
Some devices just have the basic GM sound set. The "voice" or "instrument" is selected using a "Program Change" message on its own.
Other devices have a greater selection of voices, usually arranged in "banks", and the choice of instrument is made by responding to "Bank Select MSB" (MIDI controller 0 (CC#0)), others use "Bank Select LSB" (MIDI controller number 32 (CC#32)), yet others use both MSB and LSB sent one after the other, all followed by the Program Change message. The detailed information about all the different voices will usually be available in a published MIDI Data List.
MIDI Implementation Chart
But in the User Manual there is sometimes a summary of how the device works, in terms of MIDI, in the chart at the back of the manual, the MIDI Implementation Chart.
If you require two devices to work together you can compare the two implementation charts to see if they are "compatible". In order to do this we will need to interpret that chart.
The chart is divided into four columns headed "Function", "Transmitted" (or "Tx"), "Received" (or "Rx"), or more correctly "Recognised", and finally, "Remarks".
<pre>
The left hand column defines which MIDI functions are being described.
The 2nd column defines what the device in question is capable of transmitting to another device.
The 3rd column defines what the device is capable of responding to.
The 4th column is for explanations of the values contained within these previous two columns.
</pre>
There should then be twelve sections, with possibly a thirteenth containing extra "Notes". Finally there should be an explanation of the four MIDI "modes" and what the "X" and the "O" mean.
<pre>
Mode 1: Omni On, Poly;
Mode 2: Omni On, Mono;
Mode 3: Omni Off, Poly;
Mode 4: Omni Off, Mono.
</pre>
O means "yes" (implemented), X means "no" (not implemented).
Sometimes you will find a row of asterisks "**************", these seem to indicate that the data is not applicable in this case. Seen in the transmitted field only (unless you've seen otherwise).
Lastly you may find against some entries an asterisk followed by a number e.g. *1, these will refer you to further information, often on a following page, giving more detail.
Basic Channel
But the very first set of boxes will tell us the "Basic Channel(s)" that the device sends or receives on.
"Default" is what happens when the device is first turned on, "changed" is what a switch of some kind may allow the device to be set to.
For many devices e.g. a GM sound module or a home keyboard, this would be 1-16 for both. That is it can handle sending and receiving on all MIDI channels.
On other devices, for example a synthesiser, it may by default only work on channel 1. But the keyboard could be "split" with the lower notes e.g. on channel 2. If the synth has an arppegiator, this may be able to be set to transmit and or receive on yet another channel.
So we might see the default as "1" but the changed as "1-16".
Modes.
We need to understand Omni On and Off, and Mono and Poly, then we can decipher the four modes.
But first we need to understand that any of these four Mode messages can be sent to any MIDI channel. They don't necessarily apply to the whole device.
If we send an "Omni On" message (CC#125) to a MIDI channel of a device, we are, in effect, asking it to respond to e.g. a Note On / Off message pair, received on any of the sixteen channels. Sound strange? Read it again. Still strange? It certainly is. We normally want a MIDI channel to respond only to Note On / Off messages sent on that channel, not any other. In other words, "Omni Off".
So "Omni Off" (CC#124) tells a channel of our MIDI device to respond only to messages sent on that MIDI channel.
"Poly" (CC#127) is for e.g. a channel of a polyphonic sound module, or a home keyboard, to be able to respond to many simultaneous Note On / Off message pairs at once and produce musical chords.
"Mono" (CC#126) allows us to set a channel to respond as if it were e.g. a flute or a trumpet, playing just one note at a time. If the device is capable of it, then the overlapping of notes will produce legato playing, that is the attack portion of the second note of two overlapping notes will be removed resulting in a "smoother" transition.
So a channel with a piano voice assigned to it will have Omni Off, Poly On (Mode 3), a channel with a saxophone voice assigned could be Omni Off, Mono On (Mode 4).
We call these combinations the four modes, 1 to 4, as defined above.
Most modern devices will have their channels set to Mode 3 (Omni Off, Poly) but be switchable, on a per channel basis, to Mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono).
This second section of data will include first its default value i.e. upon device switch on. Then what Mode messages are acceptable, or X if none.
Finally, in the "Altered" field, how a Mode message that can't be implemented will be interpreted. Usually there will just be a row of asterisks effectively meaning nothing will be done if you try to switch to an unimplemented mode.
Note Number
<pre>
The next row will tell us which MIDI notes the device can send or receive, normally 0-127.
The second line, "True Voice" has the following in the MIDI specification:
"Range of received note numbers falling within the range of true notes produced by the instrument."
My interpretation is that, for instance, a MIDI piano may be capable of sending all MIDI notes (0 to 127) by transposition, but only responding to the 88 notes (21 to 108) of a real piano.
</pre>
Velocity
This will tell us whether the device we're looking at will handle note velocity, and what range from 1-127, or maybe just 64, it transmits or will recognise. So usually "O" plus a range or "X" for not implemented.
After touch
This may have one or two lines two it.
If a one liner the either "O" or "X", yes or no.
If a two liner then it may include "Keys" or "Poly" and "Channel".
This will show whether the device will respond to Polyphonic after touch or channel after touch or neither.
Pitch Bend
Again "O" for implemented, "X" for not implemented.
(Many stage pianos will have no pitch bend capability.)
It may also, in the notes section, state whether it will respond to the full 14 bits, or not, as usually encoded by the pitch bend wheel.
Control Change
This is likely to be the largest section of the chart.
It will list all those controllers, starting from CC#0, Bank Select MSB, which the device is capable of sending, and those that it will respond to using "O" or "X" respectively.
You will, almost certainly, get some further explanation of functionality in the remarks column, or in more detail elsewhere in the documentation.
Of course you will need to know what all the various controller numbers do. Lots of the official technical specifications can be found at the [www.midi.org/techspecs/ MMA], with the table of messages and control change [www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php message numbers]
Program Change
Again "O" or "X" in the Transmitted or Recognised column to indicate whether or not the feature is implemented. In addition a range of numbers is shown, typically 0-127, to show what is available.
True # (number): "The range of the program change numbers which correspond to the actual number of patches selected."
System Exclusive
Used to indicate whether or not the device can send or recognise System Exclusive messages. A short description is often given in the Remarks field followed by a detailed explanation elsewhere in the documentation.
System Common - These include the following:
<pre>
MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (device synchronisation).
Song Position Pointer
Song Select
Tune Request
</pre>
The section will indicate whether or not the device can send or respond to any of these messages.
System Real Time
These include the following:
<pre>
Timing Clock - often just written as "Clock"
Start
Stop
Continue
</pre>
These three are usually just referred to as "Commands" and listed.
Again the section will indicate which, if any, of these messages the device can send or respond to.
<pre>
Aux. Messages
Again "O" or "X" for implemented or not.
Aux. = Auxiliary.
Active Sense = Active Sensing.
</pre>
Often with an explanation of the action of the device.
Notes
The "Notes" section can contain any additional comments to clarify the particular implementation.
Some of the explanations have been drawn directly from the MMA MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification.
And the detailed explanation of some of the functions will be found there, or in the General MIDI System Level 1 or General MIDI System Level 2 documents also published by the MMA.
OFFICIAL MIDI SPECIFICATIONS
SUMMARY OF MIDI MESSAGES
Table 1 - Summary of MIDI Messages
The following table lists the major MIDI messages in numerical (binary) order (adapted from "MIDI by the Numbers" by D. Valenti, Electronic Musician 2/88, and updated by the MIDI Manufacturers Association.). This table is intended as an overview of MIDI, and is by no means complete.
WARNING! Details about implementing these messages can dramatically impact compatibility with other products. We strongly recommend consulting the official MIDI Specifications for additional information.

This the same code as the Control Change (above), but implements Mode control and special message by using reserved controller numbers 120-127. The commands are:
*All Sound Off. When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon as possible c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off
*Reset All Controllers. When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller values are reset to their default values. (See specific Recommended Practices for defaults) c = 121, v = x: Value must only be zero unless otherwise allowed in a specific Recommended Practice.
*Local Control. When Local Control is Off, all devices on a given channel will respond only to data received over MIDI. Played data, etc. will be ignored. Local Control On restores the functions of the normal controllers.
c = 122, v = 0: Local Control Off
c = 122, v = 127: Local Control On
* All Notes Off. When an All Notes Off is received, all oscillators will turn off.
c = 123, v = 0: All Notes Off (See text for description of actual mode commands.)
c = 124, v = 0: Omni Mode Off
c = 125, v = 0: Omni Mode On
c = 126, v = M: Mono Mode On (Poly Off) where M is the number of channels (Omni Off) or 0 (Omni On)
c = 127, v = 0: Poly Mode On (Mono Off) (Note: These four messages also cause All Notes Off)

System Common Messages
System Messages (0xF0)
The final status nybble is a “catch all” for data that doesn’t fit the other statuses. They all use the most significant nybble (4bits) of 0xF, with the least significant nybble indicating the specific category.
The messages are denoted when the MSB of the second nybble is 1. When that bit is a 0, the messages fall into two other subcategories.
System Common
If the MSB of the second second nybble (4 bits) is not set, this indicates a System Common message. Most of these are messages that include some additional data bytes.
System Common Messages
Type Status Byte Number of Data Bytes Usage
<pre>
Time Code Quarter Frame 0xF1 1 Indicates timing using absolute time code, primarily for synthronization with video playback systems. A single location requires eight messages to send the location in an encoded hours:minutes:seconds:frames format*.
Song Position 0xF2 2 Instructs a sequencer to jump to a new position in the song. The data bytes form a 14-bit value that expresses the location as the number of sixteenth notes from the start of the song.
Song Select 0xF3 1 Instructs a sequencer to select a new song. The data byte indicates the song.
Undefined 0xF4 0
Undefined 0xF5 0
Tune Request 0xF6 0 Requests that the receiver retunes itself**.
</pre>
*MIDI Time Code (MTC) is significantly complex. Please see the MIDI Specification
**While modern digital instruments are good at staying in tune, older analog synthesizers were prone to tuning drift. Some analog synthesizers had an automatic tuning operation that could be initiated with this command.
System Exclusive
If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll notice there are two status bytes not yet defined: 0xf0 and 0xf7. These are used by the System Exclusive message, often abbreviated at SysEx. SysEx provides a path to send arbitrary data over a MIDI connection. There is a group of predefined messages for complex data, like fine grained control of MIDI Time code machinery. SysEx is also used to send manufacturer defined data, such as patches, or even firmware updates.
System Exclusive messages are longer than other MIDI messages, and can be any length. The messages are of the following format:
0xF0, 0xID, 0xdd, ...... 0xF7
The message is bookended with distinct bytes.
It opens with the Start Of Exclusive (SOX) data byte, 0xF0.
The next one to three bytes after the start are an identifier.
Values from 0x01 to 0x7C are one-byte vendor IDs, assigned to manufacturers who were involved with MIDI at the beginning.
If the ID is 0x00, it’s a three-byte vendor ID - the next two bytes of the message are the value.
<pre>
ID 0x7D is a placeholder for non-commercial entities.
ID 0x7E indicates a predefined Non-realtime SysEx message.
ID 0x7F indicates a predefined Realtime SysEx message.
</pre>
After the ID is the data payload, sent as a stream of bytes.
The transfer concludes with the End of Exclusive (EOX) byte, 0xF7.
The payload data must follow the guidelines for MIDI data bytes – the MSB must not be set, so only 7 bits per byte are actually usable. If the MSB is set, it falls into three possible scenarios.
An End of Exclusive byte marks the ordinary termination of the SysEx transfer.
System Real Time messages may occur within the transfer without interrupting it. The recipient should handle them independently of the SysEx transfer.
Other status bytes implicitly terminate the SysEx transfer and signal the start of new messages.
Some inexpensive USB-to-MIDI interfaces aren’t capable of handling messages longer than four bytes.

Advanced Messages
Polyphonic Pressure (0xA0) and Channel Pressure (0xD0)
Some MIDI controllers include a feature known as Aftertouch. While a key is being held down, the player can press harder on the key. The controller measures this, and converts it into MIDI messages.
Aftertouch comes in two flavors, with two different status messages.
The first flavor is polyphonic aftertouch, where every key on the controller is capable of sending its own independent pressure information. The messages are of the following format:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xkk, 0xpp
n is the status (0xA)
c is the channel nybble
kk is the key number (0 to 127)
pp is the pressure value (0 to 127)
</pre>
Polyphonic aftertouch is an uncommon feature, usually found on premium quality instruments, because every key requires a separate pressure sensor, plus the circuitry to read them all.
Much more commonly found is channel aftertouch. Instead of needing a discrete sensor per key, it uses a single, larger sensor to measure pressure on all of the keys as a group. The messages omit the key number, leaving a two-byte format
<pre>
0xnc, 0xpp
n is the status (0xD)
c is the channel number
pp is the pressure value (0 to 127)
</pre>
Pitch Bend (0xE0)
Many keyboards have a wheel or lever towards the left of the keys for pitch bend control. This control is usually spring-loaded, so it snaps back to the center of its range when released. This allows for both upward and downward bends.
Pitch Bend Wheel
The wheel sends pitch bend messages, of the format
<pre>
0xnc, 0xLL, 0xMM
n is the status (0xE)
c is the channel number
LL is the 7 least-significant bits of the value
MM is the 7 most-significant bits of the value
</pre>
You’ll notice that the bender data is actually 14 bits long, transmitted as two 7-bit data bytes. This means that the recipient needs to reassemble those bytes using binary manipulation. 14 bits results in an overall range of 214, or 0 to 16,383. Because it defaults to the center of the range, the default value for the bender is halfway through that range, at 8192 (0x2000).
Control Change (0xB0)
In addition to pitch bend, MIDI has provisions for a wider range of expressive controls, sometimes known as continuous controllers, often abbreviated CC. These are transmitted by the remaining knobs and sliders on the keyboard controller shown below.
Continuous Controllers
These controls send the following message format:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xcc, 0xvv
n is the status (0xB)
c is the MIDI channel
cc is the controller number (0-127)
vv is the controller value (0-127)
</pre>
Typically, the wheel next to the bender sends controller number one, assigned to modulation (or vibrato) depth. It is implemented by most instruments.
The remaining controller number assignments are another point of confusion. The MIDI specification was revised in version 2.0 to assign uses for many of the controllers. However, this implementation is not universal, and there are ranges of unassigned controllers.
On many modern MIDI devices, the controllers are assignable. On the controller keyboard shown in the photos, the various controls can be configured to transmit different controller numbers. Controller numbers can be mapped to particular parameters. Virtual synthesizers frequently allow the user to assign CCs to the on-screen controls. This is very flexible, but it might require configuration on both ends of the link and completely bypasses the assignments in the standard.
Program Change (0xC0)
Most synthesizers have patch storage memory, and can be told to change patches using the following command:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xpp
n is the status (0xc)
c is the channel
pp is the patch number (0-127)
</pre>
This allows for 128 sounds to be selected, but modern instruments contain many more than 128 patches. Controller #0 is used as an additional layer of addressing, interpreted as a “bank select” command. Selecting a sound on such an instrument might involve two messages: a bank select controller message, then a program change.
Audio & Midi are not synchronized, what I can do ?
Buy a commercial software package but there is a nasty trick to synchronize both. It's a bit hardcore but works for me:
Simply put one line down to all midi notes on your pattern (use Insert key)
and go to 'Misc. Setup', adjust the latency and just search a value
that will make sound sync both audio/midi.
The stock Sin/Saw/Pulse and Rnd waveforms are too simple/common, is there a way to use something more complex/rich ?
You have to ability to redirect the waveforms of the instruments through the synth pipe by selecting the "wav" option for the oscillator you're using for this synth instrument, samples can be used as wavetables to replace the stock signals.
Sound banks like soundfont (sf2) or Kontakt2 are not supported at the moment

Whether you put them as inserts on a channel or use them as auxillaries, the effect parameters are realtime adjustable and can be fully automated. Together with all other mixing parameters, they can even be controlled remotely, using more ergonomic MIDI hardware.
Non-linear editing on the time line, including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions
The number of tracks per project(s) is unlimited .... AHI limits you to recording only two at a time. i.e. not on 8 track sound cards like the Juli@ or Phase 88.
sample file import is limited to 16bit AIFF (not AIFC, important distinction as some files from other sources can be AIFC with aiff file extension). and 16bit WAV (pcm only)
Most apps use the Music Unit only but a few apps also use Unit (0-3) instead or as well.
* Set up AHI prefs so that microphone is available. (Input option near the bottom)
stereo++ allows the audio piece to be placed anywhere and the left-right adjusted to sound positionally right
hifi best for music playback if driver supports this option
Load 16bit .aif .aiff only sample(s) to use not AIFC which can have the same ending. AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format
sox recital.wav recital.aiff
sox recital.wav −b 16 recital.aiff channels 1 rate 16k fade 3 norm
sox input.wav output.aiff bass −b 16 rate 48k
performs the same format translation, but also applies four effects (down-mix to one channel, sample rate change, fade-in, nomalize), and stores the result at a bit-depth of 16.
rec −c 2 radio.aiff trim 0 30:00
records half an hour of stereo audio
play existing-file.wav
24bit PCM WAV or AIFF do not work
*No stream format handling. So no way to pass on an AC3 encoded stream unmodified to the digital outputs through AHI.
*No master volume handling. Each application has to set its own volume. So each driver implements its own custom driver-mixer interface for handling master volumes, mute and preamps.
*Only one output stream. So all input gets mixed into one output.
*No automatic handling of output direction based on connected cables.
*No monitor input selection. Only monitor volume control.
select the correct input (Don't mistake enabled sound for the correct input.)
The monitor will feedback audio to the lineout and hp out no matter if you have selected the correct input to the ADC. The monitor will provide sound for any valid input. This will result in free mixing when recording from the monitor input instead of mic/line because the monitor itself will provide the hardware mixing for you. Be aware that MIC inputs will give two channel mono. Only Linein will give real stereo.
Now for the not working part. Attempt to record from linein in the AE4 record window, the right channel is noise and the left channel is distorted. Even with the recommended HIFI 16bit Stereo++ mode at 48kHz.

F6 for Sample File List
Setting a grid is easy as is measuring the BPM by marking a section of the sample. Is your kick drum track "not in time" ? If so, you're stumped in AE4 as it has no fancy variable time signatures and definitely no 'track this dodgy rhythm' function like software of the nature of Logic has. So if your drum beat is freeform you will need to work in freeform mode. (Real music is free form anyway).
If the drum *is* accurate and you are just having trouble measuring the time, I usually measure over a range of bars and set the number of beats in range to say 16 as this is more accurate, Then you will need to shift the drum track to match your grid *before* applying the grid. (probably an iterative process as when the grid is active samples snap to it, and when inactive you cannot see it).
AE4 does have ARexx but the functions are more for adding samples at set offsets and starting playback / recording.
These are the usual features found in DAWs...
* Recording digital audio, midi sequencer and mixer
* virtual VST instruments and plug-ins
* automation, group channels, MIDI channels, FX sends and returns, audio and MIDI editors and music notation editor
* different track views
* mixer and track layout (but not the same as below)
* traditional two windows (track and mixer)
Mixing - mixdown
Could not figure out how to select what part I wanted to send to the aux, set it to echo and return. Pretty much the whole echo effect. Or any effect.
Take look at page17 of the manual.
When you open the EQ / Aux send popup window you will see 4 sends. Now from the menu choose the windows menu.
Menus->Windows-> Aux Returns Window
or press F5
You will see a small window with 4 volume controls and an effects button for each. Click a button and add an effects to that aux channel, then set it up as desired (note the reverb effect has a special AUX setting that improves its use with the aux channel, not compulsory but highly useful). You set the amount of 'return' on the main mix in the Aux Return window, and the amount sent from each main mixer channel in the popup for that channel. Again the aux sends are "prefade" so the volume faders on each channel do not affect them.
Tracking
Effects - fade in
To add some echoes to some vocals, tried to add an effect on a track but did not come out. This is made more complicated as I wanted to mute a vocal but then make it echo at the muting point. Want to have one word of a vocal heard and then echoed off. But when the track is mute the echo is cancelled out.
To correctly understand what is happening here you need to study the figure at the bottom of page 15 on the manual. You will see from that that the effects are applied 'prefade' So the automation you applied will naturally mute the entire signal.
There would be a number of ways to achieve the goal,
You have three real time effects slots, one for smoothing like so
Sample -> Amplify -> Delay
Then automate the gain of the amplify block so that it effectively mutes the sample just before the delay at the appropriate moment, the echo effect should then be heard.
Getting the effects in the right order will require experimentation as they can only be added top down and it's not obvious which order they are applied to the signal, but there only two possibilities, so it wont take long to find out.
Using MUTE can cause clicks to the Amplify can be used to mute more smoothly so that's a secondary advantage.

====Document Scanning - Scandal====
Scanner usually needs to be connected via a USB port and not via a hub or extension lead.
Check in Trident Prefs -> Devices that the USB Scanner is not bound to anything (e.g. Bindings None)
If not found then reboot the computer and recheck.
Start Scandal, choose Settings from Menu strip at top of screen and in Scanner Driver choose the ?#.device of the scanner (e.g. epson2.device).
The next two boxes - leave empty as they are for morphos SCSI use only
or put ata.device (use the selection option in bigger box below) and Unit as 0 this is needed for gt68xx
* gt68xx - no editing needed in s/gt68xx.conf but needs a firmware file that corresponds to the scanner [http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ gt68xx firmwares] in sys:s/gt68xx.
* epson2 - Need to edit the file epson2.conf in sys/s that corresponds to the scanner being used
'''Save''' the settings but do not press the Use button (aros freezes)
Back to the Picture Scan window and the right-hand sections.
Click on the '''Information''' tab and press Connect button and the scanner should now be detected.
Go next to the '''Scanner''' tab next to Information Tab should have Color, Black and White, etc. and dpi settings now. Selecting an option Color, B/W etc. can cause dpi settings corruption (especially if the settings are in one line) so set '''dpi first'''. Make sure if Preview is set or not.
In the '''Scan''' Tab, press Scan and the scanner will do its duty.
Be aware that nothing is saved to disk yet.
In the Save tab, change format JPEG, PNG or IFF DEEP. Tick incremental and base filename if necessary and then click the Save button. The image will now be saved to permanent storage.
The driver ignores a device if it is already bond to another USB class, rejects it from being usable. However, open Trident prefs, select your device and use the right mouse button to open. Select "NONE" to prevent poseidon from touching the device. Now save settings. It should always work now.

===Emulators===
==== Amiberry ====
==== Amiga Emu - Janus UAE ====
With Amibridge, AROS attempts to make the UAE emulator seem embedded within but it still is acting as an app
There is no dynarec m68k for each hardware that Aros supports or direct patching of motorola calls to AROS hardware accelerated ones unless the emulator has that included
Try starting Janus with a priority of -1 like this little script:
<pre>
cd sys:system/AmiBridge/emulator
changetaskpri -1
run janus-uae -f my_uaerc.config >nil:
cd sys:prefs
endcli

Since for the time being no project is loaded, a query window indicates a procedural error when clicking on the rendering icon (right end of the bar). The menu is quite traditional; it varies according to the activity of the windows. To display any altimetric file in the "Mapview" (third icon of the panel), There are three possibilities:
* Loading of a demonstration project.
* The import of a DEM file, followed by texturing and packaging from the "Database-Editor" and the "Color-Editor".
* The creation of an altimetric file in WCS format, then texturing.
The altimeter file editing (display in the menu) is only made possible if the "Mapview" window is active.
The software is made up of many windows and won't be able to describe them all. Know that "Color-Editor" and the "Data-Editor" comprise sufficient functions for obtaining an almost real rendering quality. You have the possibility of inserting vector objects in the "Data-Editor" (creation of roads, railways, etc.)
The Map View (MapView) window
*Database - Objects and Topos
*View - Align, Center, Zoom, Pan, Move
*Draw - Maps and distance
*Object - Find, highlight, add points, conform topo, duplicate
*Motion - Camera, Focus, path, elevation
*Windows - DEM designer, Cloud (.cld) and wave (.wve) editor,
You will notice that by selecting this window and simply moving the pointer to various points on the map you will see latitude and longitude values change, along with the height.
Drop-down menu and Modules, then select MapView and change the width of the window with the map to arrange it in the best way on the screen. With the Auto button the center. Window that then displays the contents of my DEM file, in this case the Grand Canyon. MapView allows you to observe the shape of the landscape from above
ZOOM button
Press the Zoom button and then with the pointer position on a point on the map, press the left mouse button and then move to the opposite corner to circumscribe the chosen area and press the left mouse button again, then we will see the enlarged area selected on the map.
Would add that there is a box next to the Zoom button that allows the direct insertion of a value which, the larger it is, the smaller the magnification and the smaller the value, the stronger the magnification. At each numerical change you will need to press the DRAW button to update the view.
PAN button
Under Zoom you will find the PAN button which allows you to move the map at will in all directions by the amount you want. This is done by drawing a line in one direction, then press PAN and point to an area on the map with the pointer and press the left mouse button. At this point, leave it and move the pointer in one direction by drawing a line and press the left mouse button again to trigger the movement of the map on the screen (origin and end points). Do some experiments and then use the Auto button immediately below to recenter everything.
There are parameters such as TOPO, VEC to be left checked and immediately below one that allows different views of the map with the Style command (Single, Multi, Surface, Emboss, Slope, Contour), each with its own particularities to highlight different details.
Now you have the first basics to manage your project visually on the map. Close the MapView window and go further...
Let's start working on ECOSYSTEMS
If we select Emboss from the MapView Style command we will have a clear idea of how the landscape appears, realizing that it is a predominantly desert region of our planet. Therefore we will begin to act on any vegetation present and the appearance of the landscape.
With WCS we will begin to break down the elements of the landscape by assigning defined characteristics. It will be necessary to determine the classes of the ecosystem (Class) with parameters of Elevation Line (maximum altitude), Relative Elevation (arrangement on basins or convexities with respectively positive or negative parameters), Min Slope and Max Slope (slope). WCS offers the possibility of making ecosystems coexist on the same terrain with the UnderEco function, by setting a Density value.
Ecosys Ecosystem Editor
Let's open it from Modules, then Ecosys Editor. In the left pane you will find the list of ecosystems referring to the files present in our project. It will be necessary to clean up that box to leave only the Water and Snow landscapes and a few other predefined ones. We can do this by selecting the items and pressing the Remove button (be careful not for all elements the button is activated, therefore they cannot all be eliminated).
Once this is done we can start adding new ecosystems. Scroll through the various Unused and as soon as the Name item at the top is activated allowing you to write, type the name of your ecosystem, adding the necessary parameters.
<pre>
Ecosystem1: Name: RockBase Class: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 15 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosystem2: Name: RockIncl Clss: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 30 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosystem3: Name: Grass Class Low Veg Density: 50 Height: 1 Elev Line : 1500 Rel El Eff: 5
Max Slope: 10 – Min Slope: 0 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosistema4: Name: Shrubs Class: Low Veg Density: 40 Height: 8 Elev Line: 3000
Rel El Eff: -2 Max Slope: 20 Min Slope : 5 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosistema5: Name: Terrain Class: Ground Density: 100 UnderEco: Terrain
</pre>
Now we need to identify an intermediate ecosystem that guarantees a smooth transition between all, therefore we select as Understory Ecosystem the one called Terrain in all ecosystems, except Snow and Water .
Now we need to 'emerge' the Colorado River in the Canyon and we can do this by raising the sea level to 900 (Sea Level) in the Ecosystem called Water.
Please note that the order of the ecosystem list gives priority to those that come after. So our list must have the following order: Water, Snow, Shrubs, RockIncl, RockBase, Terrain. It is possible to carry out all movements with the Swap button at the bottom. To put order you can also press Short List. Press Keep to confirm all the work done so far with Ecosystem Editor.
Remember every now and then to save both the Project 'Modules/Save' and 'Parameter/Save All'
EcoModels are made up of .etp .fgp .iff8 for each model
Color Editor
Now it's time to define the colors of our scene and we can do this by going to Modules and then Color Editor. In the list we focus on our ecosystems, created first.
Let's go to the bottom of the list and select the first white space, assigning the name 'empty1', with a color we like and then we will find this element again in other environments... It could serve as an example for other situations!
So we move to 'grass' which already exists and assign the following colors: R 60 G 70 B50
<pre>
'shrubs': R 60 G 80 B 30
'RockIncl' R 110 G 65 B 60
'RockBase' R 110 G 80 B 80
' Terrain' R 150 G 30 B 30
<pre>
Now we can work on pre-existing colors
<pre>
'SunLight' R 150 G 130 B 130
'Haze and Fog' R 190 G 170 B 170
'Horizon' R 209 G 185 B 190
'Zenith' R 140 G 150 B 200
'Water' R 90 G 125 B 170
</pre>
Ambient R 0 G 0 B 0
So don't forget to close Color Editor by pressing Keep.
Go once again to Ecosystem Editor and assign the corresponding color to each environment by selecting it using the Ecosystem Color button. Press it several times until the correct one appears. Then save the project and parameters again, as done previously.
Motion Editor
Now it's time to take care of the framing, so let's go to Modules and then to Motion Editor. An extremely feature-rich window will open. Following is the list of parameters regarding the Camera, position and other characteristics:
<pre>
-Camera Altitude: 7.0
-Camera Latitude: 36.075
-Camera Longitude: 112.133
-Focus Attitude: -2.0
-Focus Latitude: 36.275
-Focus Longitude: 112.386
-Camera : 512 → rendering window
-Camera Y: 384 → rendering window
-View Arc: 80 → View width in degrees
-Sun Longitude: 172
-Sun Latitude: -0.9
-Haze Start: 3.8
-Haze Range: 78, 5
</pre>
As soon as the values shown in the relevant sliders have been modified, we will be ready to open the CamView window to observe the wireframe preview. Let's not consider all the controls that will appear.
Well from the Motion Editor if you have selected Camera Altitude and open the CamView panel, you can change the height of the camera by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. To update the view, press the Terrain button in the adjacent window. As soon as you are convinced of the position, confirm again with Keep. You can carry out the same work with the other functions of the camera, such as Focus Altitude...
Let's now see the next positioning step on the Camera map, but let's leave the CamView preview window open while we go to Modules to open the window at the same time MapView. We will thus be able to take advantage of the view from the other together with a subjective one.
From the MapView window, select with the left mouse button and while it is pressed, move the Camera as desired. To update the subjective preview, always click on Terrain.
While with the same procedure you can intervene on the direction of the camera lens, by selecting the cross and with the left button pressed you can choose the desired view. So with the pressure of Terrain I update the Preview. Possibly can enlarge or reduce the Map View using the Zoom button, for greater precision.
Also write that the circle around the cameras indicates the beginning of the haze, there are two types (haze and fog) linked to the altitude. Would also add that the camera height is editable through the Motion Editor panel.
The sun
Let's see that changing the position of the sun from the Motion Editor. Press the SUN button at the bottom right and set the time and the date. Longitude and latitude are automatically obtained by the program. Always open the View Arc command from the Motion Editor panel, an item present in the Parameter List box.
Once again confirm everything with Keep and then save again.
Animation
The animation part is not left-back and also occupies a window. The settings possibilities are enormous. A time line with dragging functions ("slide", "drag"...) comparable to that of LightWave completes this window.
A small window is available for positioning the stars as a function of a date, in order to vary the seasons and their various events (and yes...).
At the bottom of the "Motion-Editor", a "cam-view" function will give you access to a control panel. Different preview modes are possible. The rendering is also accessible through a window. No less than nine pages compose it. At this level, you will be able to determine the backup name of your images ("path"), the type of texture to be calculated, the resolution of the images, activate or deactivate functions such as the depth buffer ("zbuffer"), the blur, the background image, etc.
Once all these parameters have been set, all you have to do is click on the "Render" button.
For rendering go to Modules and then Render. Select the resolution, then under IMA select the name of the image. Move to FRA and indicate the level of fractal detail which of 4 is quite good. Then Keep to confirm and then reopen the window, pressing Render you will see the result. The image will be opened with any viewing program.
Strengths:
* Multi-window.
* Quality of rendering.
* Accuracy.
* Opening, preview and rendering on CyberGraphX screen.
* Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats
* The "zbuffer" function.
Weaknesses:
* No OpenGL management
* Calculation time.
* No network computing tool.

Click Tracks Button - Drive 1 - Create New Disc or Import Existing Disc Image (iso bin/cue etc.) - Session File open cue file
If you're making a data cd, with files and drawers from your hard drive, you should be using the ISO Builder.. which is the MUI page on the left. ("Data/Audio Tracks" is on the right).
You should use the "Data/Audio tracks" page if you want to create music cds with AIFF/WAV/MP3 files, or if you download an .iso file, and you want to put it on a cd.
Click WRITE Button - set write speed - click on long Write button
Examples
Easiest way would be to burn a DATA CD, simply go to "Tracks" page "ISO Builder" and "ADD" everything you need to burn.
On the "Write" page i have "Masterize Disc (DAO)", "Close Disc" and "Eject after Write" set.
One must not "Blank disc before write" if one uses a CDR
AUDIO CD from MP3's are as easy but tricky to deal with. FP only understands one MP3 format, Layer II, everything else will just create empty tracks
Burning bootable CD's works only with .iso files. Go to "Tracks" page and "Data/Audio Tracks" and add the .iso
====odf====
Every ODF file is a collection of several subdocuments within a package (ZIP file), each of which stores part of the complete document.
* content.xml – Document content and automatic styles used in the content.
* styles.xml – Styles used in the document content and automatic styles used in the styles themselves.
* meta.xml – Document meta information, such as the author or the time of the last save action.
* settings.xml – Application-specific settings, such as the window size or printer information.
To read document follow these steps:
* Extracting .ods file.
* Getting content.xml file (which contains sheets data).
* Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file.
* Creating DataSet (that represent Spreadsheet file).
* With XmlDocument select “table:table” elements, and then create adequate DataTables.
* Parse child’s of “table:table” element and fill DataTables with those data.
* At the end, return DataSet and show it in application’s interface.
To write document follow these steps:
* Extracting template.ods file (.ods file that we use as template).
* Getting content.xml file.
* Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file.
* Erasing all “table:table” elements from the content.xml file.
* Reading data from our DataSet and composing adequate “table:table” elements.
* Adding “table:table” elements to content.xml file.
* Zipping that file as new .ods file.
XLS file format
The XLS file format contains streams, substreams, and records.
These sheet substreams include worksheets, macro sheets, chart sheets, dialog sheets, and VBA module sheets.
All the records in an XLS document start with a 2-byte unsigned integer to specify Record Type (rt), and another for Count of Bytes (cb). A record cannot exceed 8224 bytes. If larger than the rest is stored in one or more continue records.
* Workbook stream
**Globals substream
***BoundSheet8 record - info for Worksheet substream i.e. name, location, type, and visibility. (4bytes the lbPlyPos FilePointer, specifies the position in the Workbook stream where the sheet substream starts)
**Worksheet substream (sheet) - Cell Table - Row record - Cells (2byte=row 2byte=column 2byte=XF format)
***Blank cell record
***RK cell record 32-bit number.
***BoolErr cell record (2-byte Bes structure that may be either a Boolean value or an error code)
***Number cell record (64-bit floating-point number)
***LabelSst cell record (4-byte integer that specifies a string in the Shared Strings Table (SST). Specifically, the integer corresponds to the array index in the RGB field of the SST)
***Formula cell record (FormulaValue structure in the 8 bytes that follow the cell structure. The next 6 bytes can be ignored, and the rest of the record is a CellParsedFormula structure that contains the formula itself)
***MulBlank record (first 2 bytes give the row, and the next 2 bytes give the column that the series of blanks starts at. Next, a variable length array of cell structures follows to store formatting information, and the last 2 bytes show what column the series of blanks ends on)
***MulRK record
***Shared String Table (SST) contains all of the string values in the workbook.

Most apps can be opened on the Workbench (aka publicscreen pubscreen) which is the default display option but can offer a custom one set to your configurations (aka custom screen mode promotion). These custom ones tend to stack so the possible use of A-M/A-N method of switching between full screens and the ability to pull down screens as well

==Application Guides==
[[#top|...to the top]]
===Web Browser===
OWB is now at version 2.0 (which got an engine refresh, from July 2015 to February 2019) and 3.0.
This latest version has a good support for many/most web sites, even YouTube web page now works. [https://www.bilibili.tv/en/search untested]
This improved compatibility comes at the expense of higher RAM usage (now 1GB RAM is the absolute minimum).
Also, keep in mind that the lack of a JIT (Just-In-Time) JS compiler on the 32 bit version, makes the web surfing a bit slow.
Only the 64 bit version of OWB 2.0 will have JIT enabled, thus benefitting of more speed. There are tooltypes that can be added to the icon to provide further features JIT, MSE etc
Certificates from [https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html ca certs],
DNS tracking blocking with [https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt easylist.txt] in PROGDIR:Conf before starting browser with enabled AdBlock [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master easylist], [https://gitlab.com/eyeo anti abp], [https://firebog.net/ big blocklist], [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Steves], [], [],
This can be enabled with OWB Odyssey with Windows -> Content Blocking and Windows -> Messages and enter
https://www.youtube.com/api/stats/ads*
https://www.youtube.com/pagead/adview*
https://www.youtube.com#@##player-ads*
into your custom filters
Element blocker browser extension might be needed for [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/wiki/Youtube-Issues youtube], [ mid roll], [ pre roll], [ ],
OWB speed is much better when running from RAM Disk, the best way is to add the below into your S:User-Startup which copies OWB drawer from Extras:Internet/OWB to RAM Disk:
So add this :
<pre>
copy Extras:Internet/OWB Ram:OWB/ ALL CLONE >NIL:
copy Extras:Internet/OWB.info Ram: >NIL:
</pre>
Open RAM Disk and open OWB drawer and double click on OWB icon so that the above icon tooltypes are activated
Problems are that the copy time is long (around 20 seconds added in the background), but we can make it faster if we delete useless files from the OWB drawer (docs, …)
If you don’t copy the drawer back onto the HD, you won’t save your cache, cookies, passwords… So you need a script for it.
copy Extras:Internet/Amelinium/#? Ram:Amelinium/ ALL CLONE >NIL:
Error messages

===E-mail===
Emailinium is now available for IMAP and POP3 based accounts
YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections
====SimpleMail====
SimpleMail supports IMAP and appears to work with GMail, but it's never been reliable enough, it can crash with large mailboxes.
Please read more on this [http://www.freelists.org/list/simplemail-usr User list]
GMail
Be sure to activate the pop3 usage in your gmail account setup / configuration first.
pop3:
pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
smtp:
smtp.gmail.com (with authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 465 or 587
Hotmail/MSN/outlook/Microsoft Mail mid-2017, all outlook.com accounts will be migrated to Office 365 / Exchange
Most users are currently on POP which does not allow showing folders and many other features (technical limitations of POP3). With Microsoft IMAP you will get folders, sync read/unread, and show flags. You still won't get push though, as Microsoft has not turned on the IMAP Idle command as at Sept 2013.
If you want to try it, you need to first remove (you can't edit) your pop account (long-press the account on the accounts screen, delete account). Then set it up this way:
1. Email/Password
2. Manual
3. IMAP
4.
* Incoming: imap-mail.outlook.com, port 993, SSL/TLS should be checked
* Outgoing: smtp-mail.outlook.com, port 587, SSL/TLS should be checked
* POP server name pop-mail.outlook.com, port 995, POP encryption method SSL
Yahoo Mail
On April 24, 2002 Yahoo ceased to offer POP access to its free mail service. Introducing instead a yearly payment feature, allowing users POP3 and IMAP server support, along with such benefits as larger file attachment sizes and no adverts.
Sorry to see Yahoo leaving its users to cough up for the privilege of accessing their mail. Understandable, when competing against rivals such as Gmail and Hotmail who hold a large majority of users and were hacked in 2014 as well.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
* Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
* Port - 993
* Requires SSL - Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
* Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
* Port - 465 or 587
* Requires SSL - Yes
* Requires authentication - Yes
Your login info
* Email address - Your full email address (name@domain.com)
* Password - Your account's password
* Requires authentication - Yes
Note that you need to enable “Web & POP Access” in your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo Mail messages through any other email program.
You will have to enable “Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed” under “POP and Forwarding”, to send and receive Yahoo mails through any other email client.
Cannot be done since 2002 unless the customer pays Yahoo a subscription subs fee to have access to SMTP and POP3
* Set the POP server for incoming mails as pop.mail.yahoo.com. You will have to enable “SSL” and use 995 for Port.
* “Account Name or Login Name” – Your Yahoo Mail ID i.e. your email address without the domain “@yahoo.com”.
* “Email Address” – Your Yahoo Mail address i.e. your email address including the domain “@yahoo.com”. E.g. myname@yahoo.com
* “Password” – Your Yahoo Mail password.
Yahoo! Mail Plus users may have to set POP server as plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and SMTP server as plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
* Set the SMTP server for outgoing mails as smtp.mail.yahoo.com. You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work.
====YAM Yet Another Mailer====
YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers have now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections
This email client is POP3 only if the SSL library is available [http://www.freelists.org/list/yam YAM Freelists]
One of the downsides of using a POP3 mailer unfortunately - you have to set an option not to delete the mail if you want it left on the server. IMAP keeps all the emails on the server.
Possible issues
Sending mail issues is probably a matter of using your ISP's SMTP server, though it could also be an SSL issue.
getting a "Couldn't initialise TLSv1 / SSL error
Use of on-line e-mail accounts with this email client is not possible as it lacks the OpenSSL AmiSSl v3 compatible library
GMail
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587

Yahoo Mail
<pre >
“POP3 Server” – Set the POP server for incoming mails as pop.mail.yahoo.com. You will have to enable “SSL” and use 995 for Port.
“SMTP Server” – Set the SMTP server for outgoing mails as smtp.mail.yahoo.com. You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work.
“Account Name or Login Name” – Your Yahoo Mail ID i.e. your email address without the domain “@yahoo.com”.
“Email Address” – Your Yahoo Mail address i.e. your email address including the domain “@yahoo.com”. E.g. myname@yahoo.com
“Password” – Your Yahoo Mail password.

Yahoo! Mail Plus users may have to set POP server as plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and SMTP server as plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
Note that you need to enable “Web & POP Access” in your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo Mail messages through any other email program.
You will have to enable “Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed” under “POP and Forwarding”, to send and receive Yahoo mails through any other email client.
Cannot be done since 2002 unless the customer pays Yahoo a monthly fee to have access to SMTP and POP3
Microsoft Outlook Express Mail
1. Get the files to your PC.
By whatever method get the files off your Amiga onto your PC. In the YAM folder you have a number of different folders, one for each of your folders in YAM. Inside that is a file usually some numbers such as 332423.283. YAM created a new file for every single email you received.
2. Open up a brand new Outlook Express. Just configure the account to use 127.0.0.1 as mail servers. It doesn't really matter. You will need to manually create any subfolders you used in YAM.
3. You will need to do a mass rename on all your email files from YAM. Just add a .eml to the end of it. Amazing how PCs still rely mostly on the file name so it knows what sort of file it is rather than just looking at it! There are a number of multiple renamers online to download and free too.
4. Go into each of your folders, inbox, sent items etc. And do a select all then drag the files into Outlook Express (to the relevant folder obviously) Amazingly the file format that YAM used is very compatible with .eml standard and viola your emails appear. With correct dates and working attachments.
5. If you want your email into Microsoft Outlook. Open that up and create a new profile and a new blank PST file. Then go into File Import and choose to import from Outlook Express. And the mail will go into there. And viola.. you have your old email from your Amiga in a more modern day format.
===FTP===
Magellan has a great FTP module. It allows transferring files from/to a FTP server over the Internet or the local network and, even if FTP is perceived as a "thing of the past", its usability is all inside the client. The FTP thing has a nice side effect too, since every Icaros machine can be a FTP server as well, and our files can be easily transferred from an Icaros machine to another with a little configuration effort.
First of all, we need to know the 'server' IP address. Server is the Icaros machine with the file we are about to download on another Icaros machine, that we're going to call 'client'. To do that, move on the server machine and 1) run Prefs/Services to be sure "FTP file transfer" is enabled (if not, enable it and restart Icaros); 2) run a shell and enter this command:
ifconfig -a
Make a note of the IP address for the network interface used by the local area network. For cabled devices, it usually is net0:. Now go on the client machine and run Magellan:
Perform these actions: 1) click on FTP; 2) click on ADDRESS BOOK; 3) click on "New".
You can now add a new entry for your Icaros server machine:
1) Choose a name for your server, in order to spot it immediately in the address book. Enter the IP address you got before.
2) click on Custom Options:
1) go to Miscellaneous in the left menu;
2) Ensure "Passive Transfers" is NOT selected;
3) click on Use. We need to deactivate Passive Transfers because YAFS, the FTP server included in Icaros, only allows active transfers at the current stage. Now, we can finally connect to our new file source:
1) Look into the address book for the newly introduced server, be sure that name and IP address are right, and
2) click on Connect. A new lister with server's "MyWorkspace" contents will appear. You can now transfer files over the network choosing a destination among your local (client's) volumes.
Can be adapted to any FTP client on any platform of your choice, just be sure your client allows Active Transfers as well.
===IRC Internet Relay Chat===
Jabberwocky is ideal for one-to-one social media communication, use IRC if you require one to many.
Just type a message in ''lowercase''' letters and it will be posted to all in the [ AROS irc channel]. Please do not use UPPER CASE as it is a sign of SHOUTING which is annoying.
Other things to type in - replace <message> with a line of text and <nick> with a person's name
<pre>

Double click on Aircos icon in Extras:Networking/Apps/Aircos. It has been set up with a guest account for trial purposes. Though ideally, choose a nickname and password for frequent use of irc.
====IRC and XMPP Jabberwocky====
Servers are setup and close down at random
You sign up to a server that someone else has setup and access chat services through them.
The two ways to access chat from jabberwocky
<pre >
Jabberwocky -> Server -> XMPP -> open and ad-free
Jabberwocky -> Server -> Transports (Gateways) -> Proprietary closed systems
</pre >
The Jabber.org service connects with all IM services that use XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging and presence over the Internet. The services we connect with include Google Talk (closed), Live Journal Talk, Nimbuzz, Ovi, and thousands more. However, you can not connect from Jabber.org to proprietary services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, or Yahoo because they don’t yet use XMPP components (XEP-0114) '''but''' you can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo etc.) instead.
The best way to use jabberwocky is in conjunction with a public jabber server with '''transports''' to your favorite services, like gtalk, Facebook, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc.
You have to register with one of the servers, [https://list.jabber.at/ this list] or [http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ another list], [http://xmpp.net/ this security XMPP list],
Unfortunately jabberwocky can only connect to one server at a time so it is best to check what services each server offers. If you set it up with separate Facebook and google talk accounts, for example, sometimes you'll only get one or the other.
Jabberwocky open a window where the Jabber server part is typed in as well as your Nickname and Password.
Jabber ID (JID) identifies you to the server and other users.
Once registered the next step is to goto Jabberwocky's "Windows" menu and select the "Agents" option. The "Agents List" window will open.
Roster (contacts list)
[http://search.wensley.org.uk/ Chatrooms] (MUC) are available
File Transfer - can send and receive files through the Jabber service but not with other services like IRC, ICQ, AIM or Yahoo. All you need is an installed webbrowser and OpenURL.
Clickable URLs - The message window uses Mailtext.mcc and you can set a URL action in the MUI mailtext prefs like SYS:Utils/OpenURL %s NEWWIN.
There is no consistent Skype like (H.323 VoIP) video conferencing available over Jabber. The move from xmpp to Jingle should help but no support on any amiga-like systems at the moment. [http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/AmiPhoneSrc192 AmiPhone] and [http://www.lysator.liu.se/%28frame,faq,nobg,useframes%29/ahi/v4-site/ Speak Freely] was an early attempt voice only contact. SIP and Asterisk are other PBX options.
Facebook
If you're using the XMPP transport provided by Facebook themselves, chat.facebook.com, it looks like they're now requiring SSL transport. This means jabberwocky method below will no longer work. The best thing to do is to create an ID on a public jabber server which has a Facebook gateway.
<pre >
1. launch jabberwocky
2. if the login window doesn't appear on launch, select 'account' from the jabberwocky menu
3. your jabber ID will be user@chat.facebook.com where user is your user ID
4. your password is your normal facebook password
5. to save this for next time, click the popup gadget next to the ID field
6. click the 'add' button
7. click the 'close' button
8. click the 'connect' button
</pre >
you're done. you can also click the 'save as default account' button if you want. jabberwocky configured to auto-connect when launching the program, but you can configure as you like. there is amigaguide documentation included with jabberwocky.
[http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=37085&forum=32 Read more here]
for Facebook users, you can log-in directly to Facebook with jabberwocky. just sign in as @chat.facebook.com with your Facebook password as the password
Twitter
For a few years, there has been added a twitter transport. Servers include [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/ jabber.hot-chili.net], and .
An [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/tag/how-tos/ How-to]
:Read [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/2010/05/09/twitter-transport-working/ more]
Instagram
no support at the moment best to use a web browser based client
ICQ
The new version (beta) of StriCQ uses a newer ICQ protocol. Most of the ICQ Jabber Transports still use an older ICQ protocol. You can only talk one-way to StriCQ using the older Transports. Only the newer ICQv7 Transport lets you talk both ways to StriCQ. Look at the server lists in the first section to check.
Register on a Jabber server, e.g. this one works: http://www.jabber.de/
Then login into Jabberwocky with the following login data e.g. xxx@jabber.de / Password: xxx Now add your ICQ account under the window->Agents->"Register". Now Jabberwocky connects via the Jabber.de server with your ICQ account.
Yahoo Messenger
although yahoo! does not use xmpp protocol, you should be able to use the transport methods to gain access and post your replies
MSN
early months of 2013 Microsoft will ditch MSN Messenger client and force everyone to use Skype...but MSN protocol and servers will keep working as usual for quite a long time....
Occasionally the Messenger servers have been experiencing problems signing in. You may need to sign in at www.outlook.com and then try again. It may also take multiple tries to sign in. (This also affects you if you’re using Skype.)
You have to check each servers' Agents List to see what transports (MSN protocol, ICQ protocol, etc.) are supported or use the list address' provided in the section above. Then register with each transport (IRC, MSN, ICQ, etc.) to which you need access. After registering you can Connect to start chatting.
msn.jabber.com/registered should appear in the window.
From this [http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-jabberwocky/message/1378 JW group] guide which helps with this process in a clear, step by step procedure.
1. Sign up on MSN's site for a passport account. This typically involves getting a Hotmail address.
2. Log on to the Jabber server of your choice and do the following:
* Select the "Windows/Agents" menu option in Jabberwocky.
* Select the MSN Agent from the list presented by the server.
* Click the Register button to open a new window asking for:
**Username = passort account email address, typically your hotmail address.
**Nick = Screen name to be shown to anyone you add to your buddy list.
**Password = Password for your passport account/hotmail address.
* Click the Register button at the bottom of the new window.
3. If all goes well, you will see the MSN Gateway added to your buddy list. If not, repeat part 2 on another server. Some servers may show MSN in their list of available agents, but have not updated their software for the latest protocols used by MSN.
4. Once you are registered, you can now add people to your buddy list. Note that you need to include the '''msn.''' ahead of the servername so that it knows what gateway agent to use. Some servers may use a slight variation and require '''msg.gate.''' before the server name, so try both to see what works.
If my friend's msn was amiga@hotmail.co.uk and my jabber server was @jabber.meta.net.nz..
then amiga'''%'''hotmail.com@'''msn.'''jabber.meta.net.nz
or another the trick to import MSN contacts is that you don't type the hotmail URL but the passport URL... e.g. Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com You type: goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com
And the thing about importing contacts I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time...
Google Talk
any XMPP server will work, but you have to add your contacts manually. a google talk user is typically either @gmail.com or @talk.google.com. a true gtalk transport is nice because it brings your contacts to you and (can) also support file transfers to/from google talk users.

support ended early 2014 as Google moved to Google+ Hangouts which uses it own proprietary format

MPlayer supports multicast streaming, and rtp/rtsp protocols (it might require [http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ live555 library] to work with some streams). But you might have to build it where it's disabled. Also, multicast won't work with some AmiTCP-likes. MIAMI supported it, though.
AROS supports IPv4 (old but works) and this includes the needed address space for RTP.
If you mean multicast via RTP - mplayer handles it. You can even force UDP over TCP

====ZunePaint====
simplified typical workflow
* importing and organizing and photo management
* making global and regional local correction(s) - recalculation is necessary after each adjustment as it is not in real-time
* exporting your images in the best format available with the preservation of metadata
Whilst achieving 80% of a great photo with just a filter, the remaining 20% comes from a manual fine-tuning of specific image attributes.
For photojournalism, documentary, and event coverage, minimal touching is recommended. Stick to Camera Raw for such shots, and limit changes to level adjustment, sharpness, noise reduction, and white balance correction.
For fashion or portrait shoots, a large amount of adjustment is allowed and usually ends up far from the original. Skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye touch-ups, etc. are common. Might alter the background a bit to emphasize the subject.
Product photography usually requires a lot of sharpening, spot removal, and focus stacking.
For landscape shots, best results are achieved by doing the maximum amount of preparation before/while taking the shot. No amount of processing can match timing, proper lighting, correct gear, optimal settings, etc. Excessive post-processing might give you a dramatic shot but best avoided in the long term.
* White Balance - Left Amiga or F12 and K and under "Misc color effects" tab with a pull down for White Balance - color temperature also known as AKA tint (movies) or tones (painting) - warm temp raise red reduce green blue - cool raise blue lower red green
* Exposure - exposure compensation, highlight/shadow recovery
* Noise Reduction - during RAW development or using external software
* Lens Corrections - distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations
* Detail - capture sharpening and local contrast enhancement
* Contrast - black point, levels (sliders) and curves tools (F12 and K)
* Framing - straighten () and crop (F12 and F)
* Refinements - color adjustments and selective enhancements - Left Amiga or F12 and K for RGB and YUV histogram tabs -
* Resizing - enlarge for a print or downsize for the web or email (F12 and D)
* Output Sharpening - customized for your subject matter and print/screen size
White Balance - F12 and K
scan your image for a shade which was meant to be white (neutral with each RGB value being equal) like paper or plastic which is in the same light as the subject of the picture. Use the dropper tool to select this color, similar colours will shift and you will have selected the perfect white balance for your part of the image - for the whole picture make sure RAZ or CLR button at the bottom is pressed before applying to the image above.
Exposure correction
F12 and K - YUV Y luminosity - RGB extra red tint - move red curve slightly down and move blue green curves slightly up
Workflows in practice
* Undo - Right AROS key or F12 and Z
* Redo - Right AROS key or F12 and R
First flatten your image (if necessary) and then do a rotation until the picture looks level.
* Crop the picture. Click the selection button and drag a box over the area of the picture you want to keep. Press the crop button and the rest of the photo will be gone.
* Adjust your saturation, exposure, hue levels, etc., (right AROS Key and K for color correction) until you are happy with the photo. Make sure you zoom in all of the way to 100% and look the photo over, zoom back out and move around. Look for obvious problems with the picture.
* After coloring and exposure do a sharpen (Right AROS key and E for Convolution and select drop down option needed), e.g. set the matrix to 5x5 (roughly equivalent Amount to 60%) and set the Radius to 1.0. Click OK.
And save your picture
Implemented or would like to see for simplification and ease of use
basic filters (presets) like black and white, monochrome, edge detection (sobel), motion/gaussian blur,

fix lens issues including vignetting (darkening), color fringing and barrel distortion, and chromatic and geometric aberration - lens and body profiles
perspective correction
levels - directly modify the levels of the tone-values of an image, by using sliders for highlights, midtones and shadows
curves - Color Adjustment and Brightness/Contrast
color balance
one single color transparent (alpha channel (color information/selections) for masking and/or blending ) for backgrounds, etc.
Threshold indicates how much other colors will be considered mixture of the removed color and non-removed colors
decompose layer into a set of layers with each holding a different type of pattern that is visible within the image
any selection using any selecting tools like lasso tool, marquee tool etc. the selection will temporarily be save to alpha
If you create your image without transparency then the Alpha channel is not present, but you can add later.
File formats like .psd (Photoshop file has layers, masks etc. contains edited sensor data. The original sensor data is no longer available) .xcf .raw .hdr
Image Picture Formats
* low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF 8-bit), 16-bit (PPM, TIFF), typically as a 16-bit TIFF in either ProPhoto or AdobeRGB colorspace - TIFF files are also fairly universal – although, if they contain proprietary data, such as Photoshop Adjustment Layers or Smart Filters, then they can only be opened by Photoshop making them proprietary.
* linear high dynamic range (HDR) images (PFM, [http://www.openexr.com/ ILM .EXR], jpg, [http://aminet.net/util/dtype cr2] (canon tiff based), hdr, NEF, CRW, ARW, MRW, ORF, RAF (Fuji), PEF, DCR, SRF, ERF, DNG files are RAW converted to an Adobe proprietary format - a container that can embed the raw file as well as the information needed to open it)
An old version of [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&cat=graphics/convert dcraw]
There is no single RAW file format. Each camera manufacturer has one or more unique RAW formats. RAW files contain the brightness levels data captured by the camera sensor. This data cannot be modified. A second smaller file, separate XML file, or within a database with instructions for the RAW processor to change exposure, saturation etc. The extra data can be changed but the original sensor data is still there. RAW is technically least compatible.
A raw file is high-bit (usually 12 or 14 bits of information) but a camera-generated TIFF file will be usually converted by the camera (compressed, downsampled) to 8 bits. The raw file has no embedded color balance or color space, but the TIFF has both. These three things (smaller bit depth, embedded color balance, and embedded color space) make it so that the TIFF will lose quality more quickly with image adjustments than the raw file. The camera-generated TIFF image is much more like a camera processed JPEG than a raw file. A strong advantage goes to the raw file. The power of RAW files, such as the ability to set any color temperature non-destructively and will contain more tonal values.
The principle of preserving the maximum amount of information to as late as possible in the process. The final conversion - which will always effectively represent a "downsampling" - should prevent as much loss as possible.
Once you save it as TIFF, you throw away some of that data irretrievably. When saving in the lossy JPEG format, you get tremendous file size savings, but you've irreversibly thrown away a lot of image data. As long as you have the RAW file, original or otherwise, you have access to all of the image data as captured.

Cutting out and/or replacing unwanted background or features - select large areas with the selection option like the Magic Wand tool (aka Color Range) or the Lasso (quick and fast) with feather 2 to soften edge or the pen tool which adds points/lines/Bézier curves (better control but slower), hold down the shift button as you click to add extra points/areas of the subject matter to remove. Increase the tolerance to cover more areas. To subtract from your selection hold down alt as you're clicking.
* Layer masks are a better way of working than Erase they clip (black hides/hidden white visible/reveal). Clone Stamp can be simulated by and brushes for other areas.
* Leave the fine details like hair, fur, etc. to later with lasso and the shift key to draw a line all the way around your subject. Gradient Mapping - Inverse - Mask. i.e. Refine your selected image with edge detection and using the radius and edge options / adjuster (increase/decrease contrast) so that you will capture more fine detail from the background allowing easier removal.

* YUV - Y-Lightness U-blue/yellow V-red/cyan (similar to YPbPr and YCbCr) used in the PAL, NTSC, and SECAM composite digital TV color [http://crewofone.com/2012/chroma-subsampling-and-transcoding/#comment-7299 video]
Histograms
White balanced (neutral) if the spike happens in the same place in each channel of the RGB graphs. If not, you're not balanced.
If you have sky you'll see the blue channel further off to the right.
RGB is best one to change colours. These elements RGB is a 3-channel format containing data for Red, Green, and Blue in your photo scale between 0 and 255. The area in a picture that appears to be brighter/whiter contains more red color as compared to the area which is relatively darker. Similarly in the green channel the area that appears to be darker contains less amount of green color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Similarly in the blue channel the area appears to be darker contains less amount of blue color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Brightness luminance histogram also matches the green histogram more than any other color - human eye interprets green better e.g. RGB rough ratio 15/55/30%
RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel) . The alpha channel is used for "alpha compositing", which can mostly be associated as "opacity". AROS deals in RGB with two digits for every color (red, green, blue), in ARGB you have two additional hex digits for the alpha channel.
The shadows are represented by the left third of the graph. The highlights are represented by the right third. And the midtones are, of course, in the middle. The higher the black peaks in the graph, the more pixels are concentrated in that tonal range (total black area).
By moving the black endpoint, which identifies the shadows (darkness) and a white light endpoint (brightness) up and down either sides of the graph, colors are adjusted based on these points.
By dragging the central one, can increased the midtones and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative .
RGB Curves
* Move left endpoint (black point) up or right endpoint (white point) up brightens
* Move left endpoint down or right endpoint down darkens
Color Curves
* Dragging up on the Red Curve increases the intensity of the reds in the image but
* Dragging down on the Red Curve decreases the intensity of the reds and thus increases the apparent intensity of its complimentary color, cyan. Green’s complimentary color is magenta, and blue’s is yellow.
<pre>
Red <-> Cyan
Green <->Magenta
Blue <->Yellow
</pre>
YUV Best option to analyse and pull out statistical elements of any picture (i.e. separate luminance data from color data). The line in Y luma tone box represents the brightness of the image with the point in the bottom left been black, and the point in the top right as white. A low-contrast image has a concentrated clump of values nearer to the center of the graph. By comparison, a high-contrast image has a wider distribution of values across the entire width of the Histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right would indicate a picture that is a bit overexposed because most of the color data is on the lighter side (increase exposure with higher value F), while a histogram with the curve on the left shows a picture that is underexposed. This is good information to have when using post-processing software because it shows you not only where the color data exists for a given picture, but also where any data has been clipped (extremes on edges of either side): that is, it does not exist and, therefore, cannot be edited. By dragging the endpoints of the line and as well as the central one, can increased the dark/shadows, midtones and light/bright parts and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative .
The U and V chroma parts show color difference components of the image. It’s useful for checking whether or not the overall chroma is too high, and also whether it’s being limited too much
Can be used to create a negative image but also
With U (Cb), the higher value you are, the more you're on the blue primary color. If you go to the low values then you're on blue complementary color, i.e. yellow.
With V (Cr), this is the same principle but with Red and Cyan.
e.g. If you push U full blue and V full red, you get magenta. If you push U full yellow and V full Cyan then you get green.
YUV simultaneously adds to one side of the color equation while subtracting from the other.
using YUV to do color correction can be very problematic because each curve alters the result of each other: the mutual influence between U and V often makes things tricky. You may also be careful in what you do to avoid the raise of noise (which happens very easily). Best results are obtained with little adjustments
sunset that looks uninspiring and needs some color pop especially for the rays over the hill, a subtle contrast raise while setting luma values back to the legal range without hard clipping.

There is not much missing in Lunapaint to be as good as FlipBook and then you have to take into account that Flipbook is considered to be amongst the best and easiest to use animation software out there. Ok to be honest Flipbook has some nice features that require more heavy work but those aren't so much needed right away, things like camera effects, sound, smart fill, export to different movie file formats etc.
Tried Flipbook with my tablet and compared it to Luna. The feeling is the same when sketching. LunaPaint is very responsive/fluent to draw with. Just as Flipbook is, and that responsiveness is something its users have mentioned as one of the positive sides of said software.
author was learning MUI. Some parts just have to be rewritten with proper MUI classes before new features can be added.
* add [Frame Add] / [Frame Del]
* whole animation feature is impossible to use. If you draw 2 color maybe but if you start coloring your cells then you get in trouble
* pickup the entire image as a brush, not just a selection ? And consequently remove the brush from memory when one doesn't need it anymore. can pick up a brush and put it onto a new image but cropping isn't possible, nor to load/save brushes.
* Undo is something I longed for ages in Lunapaint.
* to import into the current layer, other types of images (e.g. JPEG) besides RAW64.
* implement graphic tablet features support
**GENERAL DRAWING**
Miss it very much:
UNDO
ERASER
COLORPICKER - has to show on palette too which color got picked.
BACKGROUND COLOR -Possibility to select from "New project screen"
Miss it somewhat:
ICON for UNDO
ICON for ERASER
ICON for CLEAR SCREEN ( What can I say? I start over from scratch very often )
BRUSH - possibility to cut out as brush not just copy off image to brush
**ANIMATING**
Miss it very much:
NUMBER OF CELLS - Possibity to change total no. of cells during project
ANIM BRUSH - Possibility to pick up a selected part of cells into an animbrush
Miss it somewhat:
ADD/REMOVE FRAMES: Add/remove single frame
In general LunaPaint is really well done and it feels like a new DeluxePaint version. It works with my tablet. Sure there's much missing of course but things can always be added over time. So there is great potential in LunaPaint that's for sure. Animations could be made in it and maybe put together in QuickVideo, saving in .gif or .mng etc some day.
LAYERS
-Layers names don't get saved globally in animation frames
-Layers order don't change globally in an animation (perhaps as default?).
EXPORTING IMAGES
-Exporting frames to JPG/PNG gives problems with colors. (wrong colors. See my animatiopn --> My robot was blue now it's "gold" ) I think this only happens if you have layers.
-Trying to flatten the layers before export doesn't work if you have animation frames only the one you have visible will flatten properly all other frames are destroyed. (Only one of the layers are visible on them)
-Exporting images filenames should be for example e.g. file0001, file0002...file0010 instead as of now file1, file2...file10
LOAD/SAVE (Preferences)
-Make a setting for the default "Work" folder.
* Destroyed colors if exported image/frame has layers
* mystic color cycling of the selected color while stepping frames back/forth (annoying)

# change the text alignment within the textbox. I can choose left, center, or right aligned by either changing the integer in the second column from 0 (left) to 1 or 2 (center, or right).
# The third integer in the row specifies fontcolor. For instance, 0 is black, but blue is 1 and Green3 is 13.
# The sixth integer in the bottom row specifies fontface. 0 is Times-Roman, but 16 is Helvetica (a MATLAB default).
# The seventh number is fontsize. 12 represents a 12pt fontsize. Changing the fontsize of an item really is as easy as changing that number to 20.
# The next number is the counter-clockwise angle of the text. Notice that I have changed the angle to .7854 (pi/4 rounded to four digits=45 degrees).
# twelfth number is the position according to the standard “x-axis” in Xfig units from the left. Note that 1200 Xfig units is equivalent to once inch.
# thirteenth number is the “y-position” from the top using the same unit convention as before.
* The nested text string is what you entered into the textbox.
* The “01″ present at the end of that line in the .fig file is the closing tag. For instance, a change to \100 appends a @ symbol at the end of the period of that sentence.

===Audio===
# AHI uses linear panning/balance, which means that in the center, you will get -6dB. If an app uses panning, this is what you will get. Note that apps like Audio Evolution need panning, so they will have this problem.
# When using AHI Hifi modes, mixing is done in 32-bit and sent as 32-bit data to the driver. The Envy24HT driver uses that to output at 24-bit (always).
# For the Envy24/Envy24HT, I've made 16-bit and 24-bit inputs (called Line-in 16-bit, Line-in 24-bit etc.). There is unfortunately no app that can handle 24-bit recording.
====Music Mods====
Digital module (mods) trackers are music creation software using samples and sometimes soundfonts, audio plugins (VST, AU or RTAS), MIDI.
Generally, MODs are similar to MIDI in that they contain note on/off and other sequence messages that control the mod player. Unlike (most) midi files, however, they also contain sound samples that the sequence information actually plays. MOD files can have many channels (classic amiga mods have 4, corresponding to the inbuilt sound channels), but unlike MIDI, each channel can typically play only one note at once. However, since that note might be a sample of a chord, a drumloop or other complex sound, this is not as limiting as it sounds.
Like MIDI, notes will play indefinitely if they're not instructed to end. Most trackers record this information automatically if you play your music in live. If you're using manual note entry, you can enter a note-off command with a keyboard shortcut - usually Caps Lock.
In fact when considering file size MOD is not always the best option. Even a dummy song wastes few kilobytes for nothing when a simple SID tune could be few hundreds bytes and not bigger than 64kB. AHX is another small format, AHX tunes are never larger than 64kB excluding comments.

*Sample
*Note - Effect
*Track (column) - Pattern - Order
It all starts with the Sample which is used to create Note(s) in a Track (column of a tracker)
The Note can be changed with an Effect. A Track of Note(s) can be collected into a Pattern (section of a song) and these can be given Order to create the whole song.
Patience (notes have to be entered one at a time) or playing the bassline on a midi controller (faster - see midi section above). Best approach is to wait until a melody popped into your head.
*Up-tempo means the track should be reasonably fast, but not super-fast.
*Groovy and funky imply the track should have some sort of "swing" feel, with plenty of syncopation or off beat emphasis and a recognizable, melodic bass line.
*Sweet and happy mean upbeat melodies, a major key and avoiding harsh sounds.
*Moody - minor key
First, create a quick bass sound, which is basically a sine wave, but can be hand drawn for a little more variance. It could also work for the melody part, too.
This is usually a bass guitar or some kind of synthesizer bass. The bass line is often forgotten by inexperienced composers, but it plays an important role in a musical piece. Together with the rhythm section the bass line forms the groove of a song. It's the glue between the rhythm section and the melodic layer of a song.
The drums are just pink noise samples, played at different frequencies to get a slightly different sound for the kick, snare, and hihats.
Instruments that fall into the rhythm category are bass drums, snares, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, congas, tambourines, shakers, etc. Any percussive instrument can be used to form part of the rhythm section.
The lead is the instrument that plays the main melody, on top of the chords. There are many instruments that can play a lead section, like a guitar, a piano, a saxophone or a flute. The list is almost endless. There is a lot of overlap with instruments that play chords. Often in one piece an instrument serves both roles. The lead melody is often played at a higher pitch than the chords.
Listened back to what was produced so far, and a counter-melody can be imagined, which can be added with a triangle wave.
To give the ends of phrases some life, you can add a solo part with a crunchy synth. By hitting random notes in the key of G, then edited a few of them.
For the climax of the song, filled out the texture with a gentle high-pitch pad… …and a grungy bass synth.
The arrow at A points at the pattern order list. As you see, the patterns don't have to be in numerical order. This song starts with pattern "00", then pattern "02", then "03", then "01", etcetera. Patterns may be repeated throughout a song.
The B arrow points at the song title. Below it are the global BPM and speed parameters. These determine the tempo of the song, unless the tempo is altered through effect commands during the song.
The C arrow points at the list of instruments. An instrument may consist of multiple samples. Which sample will be played depends on the note. This can be set in the Instrument Editing screen. Most instruments will consist of just one sample, though. The sample list for the selected instrument can be found under arrow D.
Here's a part of the main editing screen. This is where you put in actual notes. Up to 32 channels can be used, meaning 32 sounds can play simultaneously. The first six channels of pattern "03" at order "02" are shown here. The arrow at A points at the row number. The B arrow points at the note to play, in this case a C4. The column pointed at by the C arrow tells us which instrument is associated with that note, in this case instrument #1 "Kick".
The column at D is used (mainly) for volume commands. In this case it is left empty which means the instrument should play at its default volume. You can see the volume column being used in channel #6.
The E column tells us which effect to use and any parameters for that effect. In this case it holds the "F" effect, which is a tempo command. The "04" means it should play at tempo 4 (a smaller number means faster).
Base pattern
When I create a new track I start with what I call the base pattern. It is worthwhile to spend some time polishing it as a lot of the ideas in the base pattern will be copied and used in other patterns. At least, that's how I work. Every musician will have his own way of working. In "Wild Bunnies" the base pattern is pattern "03" at order "02".
In the section about selecting samples I talked about the four different categories of instruments: drums, bass, chords and leads. That's also how I usually go about making the base pattern. I start by making a drum pattern, then add a bass line, place some chords and top it off with a lead. This forms the base pattern from which the rest of the song will grow.
Drums
Here's a screenshot of the first four rows of the base pattern. I usually reserve the first four channels or so for the drum instruments. Right away there are a couple of tricks shown here. In the first channel the kick, or bass drum, plays some notes. Note the alternating F04 and F02 commands. The "F" command alters the tempo of the song and by quickly alternating the tempo; the song will get some kind of "swing" feel.
In the second channel the closed hi-hat plays a fairly simple pattern. Further down in the channel, not shown here, some open hi-hat notes are added for a bit of variation.
In the third and fourth channel the snare sample plays. The "8" command is for panning. One note is panned hard to the left and the other hard to the right. One sample is played a semitone lower than the other. This results in a cool flanging effect. It makes the snare stand out a little more in the mix.
Bass line
There are two different instruments used for the bass line. Instrument #6 is a pretty standard synthesized bass sound. Instrument #A sounds a bit like a slap bass when used with a quick fade out. By using two different instruments the bass line sounds a bit more ”human”. The volume command is used to cut off the notes. However, it is never set to zero. Setting the volume to a very small value will result in a reverb-like effect. This makes the song sound more "live".
The bass line hints at the chords that will be played and the key the song will be in. In this case the key of the song is D-major, a positive and happy key.
Chords
The D major chords that are being played here are chords stabs; short sounds with a quick decay (fade out). Two different instruments (#8 and #9) are used to form the chords. These instruments are quite similar, but have a slightly different sound, panning and volume decay. Again, the reason for this is to make the sound more human. The volume command is used on some chords to simulate a delay, to achieve more of a live feel. The chords are placed off-beat making for a funky rhythm.
Lead
Finally the lead melody is added. The other instruments are invaluable in holding the track together, but the lead melody is usually what catches people's attention.
A lot of notes and commands are used here, but it looks more complex than it is. A stepwise ascending melody plays in channel 13. Channel 14 and 15 copy this melody, but play it a few rows later at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect. A bit of panning is used on the notes to create some stereo depth. Like with the bass line, instead of cutting off notes the volume is set to low values for a reverb effect. The "461" effect adds a little vibrato to the note, which sounds nice on sustained notes.
Those paying close attention may notice the instrument used here for the lead melody is the same as the one used for the bass line (#6 "Square"), except played two or three octaves higher. This instrument is a looped square wave sample. Each type of wave has its own quirks, but the square wave (shown below) is a really versatile wave form.
Song structure
Good, catchy songs are often carefully structured into sections, some of which are repeated throughout the song with small variations.
A typical pop-song structure is: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus.
Other single sectional song structures are
<pre>
Strophic or AAA Song Form - oldest story telling with refrain (often title of the song) repeated in every verse section melody
AABA Song Form - early popular, jazz and gospel fading during the 1960s
AB or Verse/Chorus Song Form - songwriting format of choice for modern popular music since the 1960s
Verse/Chorus/Bridge Song Form
ABAB Song Form
ABAC Song Form
ABCD Song Form
AAB 12-Bar Song Form - three four-bar lines or sub-sections
8-Bar Song Form
16-Bar Song Form
Hybrid / Compound Song Forms
</pre>
The most common building blocks are:
#INTRODUCTION(INTRO)
#VERSE
#REFRAIN
#PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB
#CHORUS
#BRIDGE
#MIDDLE EIGHT
#SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
#COLLISION
#CODA / OUTRO
#AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO)
The chorus usually has more energy than the verse and often has a memorable melody line. As the chorus is repeated the most often during the song, it will be the part that people will remember.
The bridge often marks a change of direction in the song. It is not uncommon to change keys in the bridge, or at least to use a different chord sequence. The bridge is used to build up tension towards the big finale, the last repetition of chorus.

The Set Volume command: C. Input a note, then move the cursor to the effects command column and type a C. Play the pattern, and you shouldn't be able to hear the note you placed the C by. This is because the effect parameters are 00. Change the two zeros to a 40(Hex)/64(Dec), depending on what your tracker uses. Play back the pattern again, and the note should come in at full volume.
The Position Jump command next. This is just a B followed by the position in the playing list that you want to jump to. One thing to remember is that the playing list always starts at 0, not 1. This command is usually in Hex.
Onto the volume slide command: A. This is slightly more complex (much more if you're using a newer tracker, if you want to achieve the results here, then set slides to Amiga, not linear), due to the fact it depends on the secondary tempo. For now set a secondary tempo of 06 (you can play around later), load a long or looped sample and input a note or two. A few rows after a note type in the effect command A. For the parameters use 0F. Play back the pattern, and you should notice that when the effect kicks in, the sample drops to a very low volume very quickly. Change the effect parameters to F0, and use a low volume command on the note. Play back the pattern, and when the slide kicks in the volume of the note should increase very quickly.
This because each part of the effect parameters for command A does a different thing. The first number slides the volume up, and the second slides it down. It's not recommended that you use both a volume up and volume down at the same time, due to the fact the tracker only looks for the first number that isn't set to 0. If you specify parameters of 8F, the tracker will see the 8, ignore the F, and slide the volume up. Using a slide up and down at same time just makes you look stupid. Don't do it...
The Set Tempo command: F, is pretty easy to understand. You simply specify the BPM (in Hex) that you want to change to. One important thing to note is that values of lower than 20 (Hex) sets the secondary tempo rather than the primary.
Another useful command is the Pattern Break: D. This will stop the playing of the current pattern and skip to the next one in the playing list. By using parameters of more than 00 you can also specify which line to begin playing from.
Command 3 is Portamento to Note. This slides the currently playing note to another note, at a specified speed. The slide then stops when it reaches the desired note.
<pre>
C-2 1 000 - Starts the note playing
--- 000
C-3 330 - Starts the slide to C-3 at a speed of 30.
--- 300 - Continues the slide
--- 300 - Continues the slide
</pre>
Once the parameters have been set, the command can be input again without any parameters, and it'll still perform the same function unless you change the parameters. This memory function allows certain commands to function correctly, such as command 5, which is the Portamento to Note and Volume Slide command. Once command 3 has been set up command 5 will simply take the parameters from that and perform a Portamento to Note. Any parameters set up for command 5 itself simply perform a Volume Slide identical to command A at the same time as the Portamento to Note.
This memory function will only operate in the same channel where the original parameters were set up.
There are various other commands which perform two functions at once. They will be described as we come across them.
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 00
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 02
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 05
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 08
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0A
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0D
C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 10
(You can also switch on the Slider Rec to On, and perform parameter-live-recording, such as cutoff transitions, resonance or panning tweaking, etc..) Note: this command only works for volume/panning and fx datas columns.
The next command we'll look at is the Portamento up/down: 1 and 2. Command 1 slides the pitch up at a specified speed, and 2 slides it down. This command works in a similar way to the volume slide, in that it is dependent on the secondary tempo. Both these commands have a memory dependent on each other, if you set the slide to a speed of 3 with the 1 command, a 2 command with no parameters will use the speed of 3 from the 1 command, and vice versa.
Command 4 is Vibrato. Vibrato is basically rapid changes in pitch, just try it, and you'll see what I mean. Parameters are in the format of xy, where x is the speed of the slide, and y is the depth of the slide. One important point to remember is to keep your vibratos subtle and natural so a depth of 3 or less and a reasonably fast speed, around 8, is usually used. Setting the depth too high can make the part sound out of tune from the rest.
Following on from command 4 is command 6. This is the Vibrato and Volume Slide command, and it has a memory like command 5, which you already know how to use.
Command 7 is Tremolo. This is similar to vibrato. Rather than changing the pitch it slides the volume. The effect parameters are in exactly the same format. vibrato effect (0x1dxy) x = speed y = depth (can't be used if arpeggio (0x1b) is turned on)
<pre>
C-7 00 .. .. 1B37 <- Turn Arpeggio effect on
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 1B38 <- Change datas
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 1B00 <- Turn it off
</pre>
Command 9 is Sample Offset. This starts the playback of the sample from a different place than the start. The effect parameters specify the sample offset, but only very roughly. Say you have a sample which is 8765(Hex) bytes long, and you wanted it to play from position 4321(Hex). The effect parameter could only be as accurate as the 43 part, and it would ignore the 21.
Command B is the Playing List/Order Jump command. The parameters specify the position in the Playing List/Order to jump to. When used in conjunction with command D you can specify the position and the line to play from.
Command E is pretty complex, as it is used for a lot of different things, depending on what the first parameter is. Let's take a trip through each effect in order.
Command E0 controls the hardware filter on an Amiga, which, as a low pass filter, cuts off the highest frequencies being played back. There are very few players and trackers on other system that simulate this function, not that you should need to use it. The second parameter, if set to 1, turns on the filter. If set to 0, the filter gets turned off.
Commands E1/E2 are Fine Portamento Up/Down. Exactly the same functions as commands 1/2, except that they only slide the pitch by a very small amount. These commands have a memory the same as 1/2 as well.
Command E3 sets the Glissando control. If parameters are set to 1 then when using command 3, any sliding will only use the notes in between the original note and the note being slid to. This produces a somewhat jumpier slide than usual. The best way to understand is to try it out for yourself. Produce a slow slide with command 3, listen to it, and then try using E31.
Command E4 is the Set Vibrato Waveform control. This command controls how the vibrato command slides the pitch. Parameters are 0 - Sine, 1 - Ramp Down (Saw), 2 - Square. By adding 4 to the parameters, the waveform will not be restarted when a new note is played e.g. 5 - Sine without restart.
Command E5 sets the Fine Tune of the instrument being played, but only for the particular note being played. It will override the default Fine Tune for the instrument. The parameters range from 0 to F, with 0 being -8 and F being +8 Fine Tune. A parameter of 8 gives no Fine Tune. If you're using a newer tracker that supports more than -8 to +8 e.g. -128 to +128, these parameters will give a rough Fine Tune, accurate to the nearest 16.
Command E6 is the Jump Loop command. You mark the beginning of the part of a pattern that you want to loop with E60, and then specify with E6x the end of the loop, where x is the number of times you want it to loop.
Command E7 is the Set Tremolo Waveform control. This has exactly the same parameters as command E4, except that it works for Tremolo rather than Vibrato.
Command E9 is for Retriggering the note quickly. The parameter specifies the interval between the retrigs. Use a value of less than the current secondary tempo, or else the note will not get retrigged.
Command EA/B are for Fine Volume Slide Up/Down. Much the same as the normal Volume Slides, except that these are easier to control since they don't depend on the secondary tempo. The parameters specify the amount to slide by e.g. if you have a sample playing at a volume of 08 (Hex) then the effect EA1 will slide this volume to 09 (Hex). A subsequent effect of EB4 would slide this volume down to 05 (Hex).
Command EC is the Note Cut. This sets the volume of the currently playing note to 0 at a specified tick. The parameters should be lower than the secondary tempo or else the effect won't work.
Command ED is the Note Delay. This should be used at the same time as a note is to be played, and the parameters will specify the number of ticks to delay playing the note. Again, keep the parameters lower than the secondary tempo, or the note won't get played!
Command EE is the Pattern Delay. This delays the pattern for the amount of time it would take to play a certain number of rows. The parameters specify how many rows to delay for.
Command EF is the Funk Repeat command. Set the sample loop to 0-1000. When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000- 2000, then to 2000-3000 etc. After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0- 1000. The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x. E is two times as slow as F, D is three times as slow as F etc. EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset the loop (to 0-1000).
effects 0x41 and 0x42 to control the volumes of the 2 303 units
There is a dedicated panel for synth parameter editing with coherent sections (osc, filter modulation, routing, so on) the interface is much nicer, much better to navigate with customizable colors, the reverb is now customizable (10 delay lines), It accepts newer types of Waves (higher bit rates, at least 24). Has a replay routine.
It's pretty much your basic VA synth. The problem isn't with the sampler being to high it's the synth is tuned two octaves too low, but if you want your samples tuned down just set the base note down 2 octaves (in the instrument panel).
so the synth is basically divided into 3 sections from left to right: oscillators/envelopes, then filter and LFO's, and in the right column you have mod routings and global settings.
for the oscillator section you have two normal oscillators (sine, saw, square, noise), the second of which is tunable, the first one tunes with the key pressed. Attached to OSC 1 is a sub-oscillator, which is a sawtooth wave tuned one octave down. The phase modulation controls the point in the duty cycle at which the oscillator starts. The ADSR envelope sliders (grouped with oscs) are for modulation envelope 1 and 2 respectively. you can use the synth as a sampler by choosing the instrument at the top.
In the filter column, the filter settings are: 1 = lowpass, 2 = highpass, 3 = off. cutoff and resonance. For the LFOs they are LFO 1 and LFO 2, the ADSR sliders in those are for the LFO itself.
For the modulation routings you have ENV 1, LFO 1 for the first slider and ENV 2, LFO 2 for the second, you can cycle through the individual routings there, and you can route each modulation source to multiple destinations of course, which is another big plus for this synth. Finally the glide time is for portamento and master volume, well, the master volume... it can go quite loud.
The sequencer is changed too, It's more like the one in AXS if you've used that, where you can mute tracks to re-use patterns with variation.

Bars and Pipes Pro 2.5 is using internal 4-Byte IDs, to check which kind of data are currently processed.
Especially in all its files the IDs play an important role. The IDs are stored into the file in the same order they are laid out in the memory.
In a Bars 'N' Pipes file (no matter which kind) the ID "NAME" (saved as its ANSI-values) is stored on a big endian system (68k-computer) as "NAME". On a little endian system (x86 PC computer) as "EMAN". The target is to make the AROS-BnP compatible to songs, which were stored on a 68k computer (AMIGA).
If possible, setting MIDI channels for Local Control for your keyboard

MIDI files are essentially a stream of event data. An event can be many things, but typically "note on", "note off", "program change", "controller change", or messages that instruct a MIDI compatible synth how to play a given bit of music.
* Channel - 1 to 16 -
* Messages - PC presets, CC effects like delays, reverbs, etc
* Sequencing - MIDI instruments, Drums, Sound design,
* Recording -
* GUI - Piano roll or Tracker, Staves and Notes
MIDI events/messages like step entry e.g. Note On, Note Off
MIDI events/messages like PB, PC, CC, Mono and Poly After-Touch, Sysex, etc

* SMF1 The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks/channels.
* SMF2 (rarely used) The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks, which are additionally wrapped in containers, so it's possible to have e.g. several tracks using the same MIDI channels.
Would it be possible to enrich Bars N’Pipes with software synth and sample support along with audio recording and mastering tools like in the named MAC or PC music sequencers?
On the classic AMIGA-OS this is not possible because of missing CPU-power. The hardware of the classic AMIGA is not further developed. So we must say (unfortunately) that those dreams can’t become reality
BarsnPipes is best used with external MIDI-equipment. This can be a keyboard or synthesizer with MIDI-connectors.

How to use Midi In/Out in Protrekkr ?
First of all, midi in & out capabilities of this program are rather limited.
# Go to Misc. Setup section and select a midi in or out device to use (ptk only supports one device at a time).
# Go to instrument section, and select a MIDI PRG (the default is N/A, which means no midi program selected).
# Go to track section and here you can assign a midi channel to each track of ptk.
# Play notes :]. Note off works. F'x' note cut command also works too, and note-volume command (speed) is supported.
Also, you can change midicontrollers in the tracker, using '90' in the panning row:
<pre>
C-3 02 .. .. 0000....
--- .. .. 90 xxyy.... << This will set the value
--- .. .. .. 0000.... of the controller n.'xx' to 'yy' (both in hex)
--- .. .. .. 0000....
</pre>
So "--- .. .. 90 2040...." will set the controller number $20(32) to $40(64).
You will need the midi implementation table of your gear to know what you can change with midi controller messages.
N.B. Not all MIDI devices are created equal!
Although the MIDI specification defines a large range of MIDI messages of various kinds, not every MIDI device is required to work in exactly the same way and respond to all the available messages and ways of working. For example, we don't expect a wind synthesiser to work in the same way as a home keyboard.
Some devices, the older ones perhaps, are only able to respond to a single channel. With some of those devices that channel can be altered from the default of 1 (probably) to another channel of the 16 possible.
Other devices, for instance monophonic synthesisers, are capable of producing just one note at a time, on one MIDI channel. Others can produce many notes spread across many channels.
Further devices can respond to, and transmit, "breath controller" data (MIDI controller number 2 (CC#2)) others may respond to the reception of CC#2 but not be able to create and to send it.
A controller keyboard may be capable of sending "expression pedal" data, but another device may not be capable of responding to that message.
Some devices just have the basic GM sound set. The "voice" or "instrument" is selected using a "Program Change" message on its own.
Other devices have a greater selection of voices, usually arranged in "banks", and the choice of instrument is made by responding to "Bank Select MSB" (MIDI controller 0 (CC#0)), others use "Bank Select LSB" (MIDI controller number 32 (CC#32)), yet others use both MSB and LSB sent one after the other, all followed by the Program Change message. The detailed information about all the different voices will usually be available in a published MIDI Data List.
MIDI Implementation Chart
But in the User Manual there is sometimes a summary of how the device works, in terms of MIDI, in the chart at the back of the manual, the MIDI Implementation Chart.
If you require two devices to work together you can compare the two implementation charts to see if they are "compatible". In order to do this we will need to interpret that chart.
The chart is divided into four columns headed "Function", "Transmitted" (or "Tx"), "Received" (or "Rx"), or more correctly "Recognised", and finally, "Remarks".
<pre>
The left hand column defines which MIDI functions are being described.
The 2nd column defines what the device in question is capable of transmitting to another device.
The 3rd column defines what the device is capable of responding to.
The 4th column is for explanations of the values contained within these previous two columns.
</pre>
There should then be twelve sections, with possibly a thirteenth containing extra "Notes". Finally there should be an explanation of the four MIDI "modes" and what the "X" and the "O" mean.
<pre>
Mode 1: Omni On, Poly;
Mode 2: Omni On, Mono;
Mode 3: Omni Off, Poly;
Mode 4: Omni Off, Mono.
</pre>
O means "yes" (implemented), X means "no" (not implemented).
Sometimes you will find a row of asterisks "**************", these seem to indicate that the data is not applicable in this case. Seen in the transmitted field only (unless you've seen otherwise).
Lastly you may find against some entries an asterisk followed by a number e.g. *1, these will refer you to further information, often on a following page, giving more detail.
Basic Channel
But the very first set of boxes will tell us the "Basic Channel(s)" that the device sends or receives on.
"Default" is what happens when the device is first turned on, "changed" is what a switch of some kind may allow the device to be set to.
For many devices e.g. a GM sound module or a home keyboard, this would be 1-16 for both. That is it can handle sending and receiving on all MIDI channels.
On other devices, for example a synthesiser, it may by default only work on channel 1. But the keyboard could be "split" with the lower notes e.g. on channel 2. If the synth has an arppegiator, this may be able to be set to transmit and or receive on yet another channel.
So we might see the default as "1" but the changed as "1-16".
Modes.
We need to understand Omni On and Off, and Mono and Poly, then we can decipher the four modes.
But first we need to understand that any of these four Mode messages can be sent to any MIDI channel. They don't necessarily apply to the whole device.
If we send an "Omni On" message (CC#125) to a MIDI channel of a device, we are, in effect, asking it to respond to e.g. a Note On / Off message pair, received on any of the sixteen channels. Sound strange? Read it again. Still strange? It certainly is. We normally want a MIDI channel to respond only to Note On / Off messages sent on that channel, not any other. In other words, "Omni Off".
So "Omni Off" (CC#124) tells a channel of our MIDI device to respond only to messages sent on that MIDI channel.
"Poly" (CC#127) is for e.g. a channel of a polyphonic sound module, or a home keyboard, to be able to respond to many simultaneous Note On / Off message pairs at once and produce musical chords.
"Mono" (CC#126) allows us to set a channel to respond as if it were e.g. a flute or a trumpet, playing just one note at a time. If the device is capable of it, then the overlapping of notes will produce legato playing, that is the attack portion of the second note of two overlapping notes will be removed resulting in a "smoother" transition.
So a channel with a piano voice assigned to it will have Omni Off, Poly On (Mode 3), a channel with a saxophone voice assigned could be Omni Off, Mono On (Mode 4).
We call these combinations the four modes, 1 to 4, as defined above.
Most modern devices will have their channels set to Mode 3 (Omni Off, Poly) but be switchable, on a per channel basis, to Mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono).
This second section of data will include first its default value i.e. upon device switch on. Then what Mode messages are acceptable, or X if none.
Finally, in the "Altered" field, how a Mode message that can't be implemented will be interpreted. Usually there will just be a row of asterisks effectively meaning nothing will be done if you try to switch to an unimplemented mode.
Note Number
<pre>
The next row will tell us which MIDI notes the device can send or receive, normally 0-127.
The second line, "True Voice" has the following in the MIDI specification:
"Range of received note numbers falling within the range of true notes produced by the instrument."
My interpretation is that, for instance, a MIDI piano may be capable of sending all MIDI notes (0 to 127) by transposition, but only responding to the 88 notes (21 to 108) of a real piano.
</pre>
Velocity
This will tell us whether the device we're looking at will handle note velocity, and what range from 1-127, or maybe just 64, it transmits or will recognise. So usually "O" plus a range or "X" for not implemented.
After touch
This may have one or two lines two it.
If a one liner the either "O" or "X", yes or no.
If a two liner then it may include "Keys" or "Poly" and "Channel".
This will show whether the device will respond to Polyphonic after touch or channel after touch or neither.
Pitch Bend
Again "O" for implemented, "X" for not implemented.
(Many stage pianos will have no pitch bend capability.)
It may also, in the notes section, state whether it will respond to the full 14 bits, or not, as usually encoded by the pitch bend wheel.
Control Change
This is likely to be the largest section of the chart.
It will list all those controllers, starting from CC#0, Bank Select MSB, which the device is capable of sending, and those that it will respond to using "O" or "X" respectively.
You will, almost certainly, get some further explanation of functionality in the remarks column, or in more detail elsewhere in the documentation.
Of course you will need to know what all the various controller numbers do. Lots of the official technical specifications can be found at the [www.midi.org/techspecs/ MMA], with the table of messages and control change [www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php message numbers]
Program Change
Again "O" or "X" in the Transmitted or Recognised column to indicate whether or not the feature is implemented. In addition a range of numbers is shown, typically 0-127, to show what is available.
True # (number): "The range of the program change numbers which correspond to the actual number of patches selected."
System Exclusive
Used to indicate whether or not the device can send or recognise System Exclusive messages. A short description is often given in the Remarks field followed by a detailed explanation elsewhere in the documentation.
System Common - These include the following:
<pre>
MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (device synchronisation).
Song Position Pointer
Song Select
Tune Request
</pre>
The section will indicate whether or not the device can send or respond to any of these messages.
System Real Time
These include the following:
<pre>
Timing Clock - often just written as "Clock"
Start
Stop
Continue
</pre>
These three are usually just referred to as "Commands" and listed.
Again the section will indicate which, if any, of these messages the device can send or respond to.
<pre>
Aux. Messages
Again "O" or "X" for implemented or not.
Aux. = Auxiliary.
Active Sense = Active Sensing.
</pre>
Often with an explanation of the action of the device.
Notes
The "Notes" section can contain any additional comments to clarify the particular implementation.
Some of the explanations have been drawn directly from the MMA MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification.
And the detailed explanation of some of the functions will be found there, or in the General MIDI System Level 1 or General MIDI System Level 2 documents also published by the MMA.

SUMMARY OF MIDI MESSAGES
Table 1 - Summary of MIDI Messages
The following table lists the major MIDI messages in numerical (binary) order (adapted from "MIDI by the Numbers" by D. Valenti, Electronic Musician 2/88, and updated by the MIDI Manufacturers Association.). This table is intended as an overview of MIDI, and is by no means complete.
WARNING! Details about implementing these messages can dramatically impact compatibility with other products. We strongly recommend consulting the official MIDI Specifications for additional information.

This the same code as the Control Change (above), but implements Mode control and special message by using reserved controller numbers 120-127. The commands are:
*All Sound Off. When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon as possible c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off
*Reset All Controllers. When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller values are reset to their default values. (See specific Recommended Practices for defaults) c = 121, v = x: Value must only be zero unless otherwise allowed in a specific Recommended Practice.
*Local Control. When Local Control is Off, all devices on a given channel will respond only to data received over MIDI. Played data, etc. will be ignored. Local Control On restores the functions of the normal controllers.
c = 122, v = 0: Local Control Off
c = 122, v = 127: Local Control On
* All Notes Off. When an All Notes Off is received, all oscillators will turn off.
c = 123, v = 0: All Notes Off (See text for description of actual mode commands.)
c = 124, v = 0: Omni Mode Off
c = 125, v = 0: Omni Mode On
c = 126, v = M: Mono Mode On (Poly Off) where M is the number of channels (Omni Off) or 0 (Omni On)
c = 127, v = 0: Poly Mode On (Mono Off) (Note: These four messages also cause All Notes Off)

System Common Messages
System Messages (0xF0)
The final status nybble is a “catch all” for data that doesn’t fit the other statuses. They all use the most significant nybble (4bits) of 0xF, with the least significant nybble indicating the specific category.
The messages are denoted when the MSB of the second nybble is 1. When that bit is a 0, the messages fall into two other subcategories.
System Common
If the MSB of the second second nybble (4 bits) is not set, this indicates a System Common message. Most of these are messages that include some additional data bytes.
System Common Messages
Type Status Byte Number of Data Bytes Usage
<pre>
Time Code Quarter Frame 0xF1 1 Indicates timing using absolute time code, primarily for synthronization with video playback systems. A single location requires eight messages to send the location in an encoded hours:minutes:seconds:frames format*.
Song Position 0xF2 2 Instructs a sequencer to jump to a new position in the song. The data bytes form a 14-bit value that expresses the location as the number of sixteenth notes from the start of the song.
Song Select 0xF3 1 Instructs a sequencer to select a new song. The data byte indicates the song.
Undefined 0xF4 0
Undefined 0xF5 0
Tune Request 0xF6 0 Requests that the receiver retunes itself**.
</pre>
*MIDI Time Code (MTC) is significantly complex. Please see the MIDI Specification
**While modern digital instruments are good at staying in tune, older analog synthesizers were prone to tuning drift. Some analog synthesizers had an automatic tuning operation that could be initiated with this command.
System Exclusive
If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll notice there are two status bytes not yet defined: 0xf0 and 0xf7. These are used by the System Exclusive message, often abbreviated at SysEx. SysEx provides a path to send arbitrary data over a MIDI connection. There is a group of predefined messages for complex data, like fine grained control of MIDI Time code machinery. SysEx is also used to send manufacturer defined data, such as patches, or even firmware updates.
System Exclusive messages are longer than other MIDI messages, and can be any length. The messages are of the following format:
0xF0, 0xID, 0xdd, ...... 0xF7
The message is bookended with distinct bytes.
It opens with the Start Of Exclusive (SOX) data byte, 0xF0.
The next one to three bytes after the start are an identifier.
Values from 0x01 to 0x7C are one-byte vendor IDs, assigned to manufacturers who were involved with MIDI at the beginning.
If the ID is 0x00, it’s a three-byte vendor ID - the next two bytes of the message are the value.
<pre>
ID 0x7D is a placeholder for non-commercial entities.
ID 0x7E indicates a predefined Non-realtime SysEx message.
ID 0x7F indicates a predefined Realtime SysEx message.
</pre>
After the ID is the data payload, sent as a stream of bytes.
The transfer concludes with the End of Exclusive (EOX) byte, 0xF7.
The payload data must follow the guidelines for MIDI data bytes – the MSB must not be set, so only 7 bits per byte are actually usable. If the MSB is set, it falls into three possible scenarios.
An End of Exclusive byte marks the ordinary termination of the SysEx transfer.
System Real Time messages may occur within the transfer without interrupting it. The recipient should handle them independently of the SysEx transfer.
Other status bytes implicitly terminate the SysEx transfer and signal the start of new messages.
Some inexpensive USB-to-MIDI interfaces aren’t capable of handling messages longer than four bytes.

Advanced Messages
Polyphonic Pressure (0xA0) and Channel Pressure (0xD0)
Some MIDI controllers include a feature known as Aftertouch. While a key is being held down, the player can press harder on the key. The controller measures this, and converts it into MIDI messages.
Aftertouch comes in two flavors, with two different status messages.
The first flavor is polyphonic aftertouch, where every key on the controller is capable of sending its own independent pressure information. The messages are of the following format:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xkk, 0xpp
n is the status (0xA)
c is the channel nybble
kk is the key number (0 to 127)
pp is the pressure value (0 to 127)
</pre>
Polyphonic aftertouch is an uncommon feature, usually found on premium quality instruments, because every key requires a separate pressure sensor, plus the circuitry to read them all.
Much more commonly found is channel aftertouch. Instead of needing a discrete sensor per key, it uses a single, larger sensor to measure pressure on all of the keys as a group. The messages omit the key number, leaving a two-byte format
<pre>
0xnc, 0xpp
n is the status (0xD)
c is the channel number
pp is the pressure value (0 to 127)
</pre>
Pitch Bend (0xE0)
Many keyboards have a wheel or lever towards the left of the keys for pitch bend control. This control is usually spring-loaded, so it snaps back to the center of its range when released. This allows for both upward and downward bends.
Pitch Bend Wheel
The wheel sends pitch bend messages, of the format
<pre>
0xnc, 0xLL, 0xMM
n is the status (0xE)
c is the channel number
LL is the 7 least-significant bits of the value
MM is the 7 most-significant bits of the value
</pre>
You’ll notice that the bender data is actually 14 bits long, transmitted as two 7-bit data bytes. This means that the recipient needs to reassemble those bytes using binary manipulation. 14 bits results in an overall range of 214, or 0 to 16,383. Because it defaults to the center of the range, the default value for the bender is halfway through that range, at 8192 (0x2000).
Control Change (0xB0)
In addition to pitch bend, MIDI has provisions for a wider range of expressive controls, sometimes known as continuous controllers, often abbreviated CC. These are transmitted by the remaining knobs and sliders on the keyboard controller shown below.
Continuous Controllers
These controls send the following message format:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xcc, 0xvv
n is the status (0xB)
c is the MIDI channel
cc is the controller number (0-127)
vv is the controller value (0-127)
</pre>
Typically, the wheel next to the bender sends controller number one, assigned to modulation (or vibrato) depth. It is implemented by most instruments.
The remaining controller number assignments are another point of confusion. The MIDI specification was revised in version 2.0 to assign uses for many of the controllers. However, this implementation is not universal, and there are ranges of unassigned controllers.
On many modern MIDI devices, the controllers are assignable. On the controller keyboard shown in the photos, the various controls can be configured to transmit different controller numbers. Controller numbers can be mapped to particular parameters. Virtual synthesizers frequently allow the user to assign CCs to the on-screen controls. This is very flexible, but it might require configuration on both ends of the link and completely bypasses the assignments in the standard.
Program Change (0xC0)
Most synthesizers have patch storage memory, and can be told to change patches using the following command:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xpp
n is the status (0xc)
c is the channel
pp is the patch number (0-127)
</pre>
This allows for 128 sounds to be selected, but modern instruments contain many more than 128 patches. Controller #0 is used as an additional layer of addressing, interpreted as a “bank select” command. Selecting a sound on such an instrument might involve two messages: a bank select controller message, then a program change.
Audio & Midi are not synchronized, what I can do ?
Buy a commercial software package but there is a nasty trick to synchronize both. It's a bit hardcore but works for me:
Simply put one line down to all midi notes on your pattern (use Insert key)
and go to 'Misc. Setup', adjust the latency and just search a value
that will make sound sync both audio/midi.
The stock Sin/Saw/Pulse and Rnd waveforms are too simple/common, is there a way to use something more complex/rich ?
You have to ability to redirect the waveforms of the instruments through the synth pipe by selecting the "wav" option for the oscillator you're using for this synth instrument, samples can be used as wavetables to replace the stock signals.
Sound banks like soundfont (sf2) or Kontakt2 are not supported at the moment
====DAW Audio Evolution 4====
Audio Evolution 4 gives you unsurpassed power for digital audio recording and editing on the Amiga. The latest release focusses on time-saving non-linear and non-destructive editing, as seen on other platforms. Besides editing, Audio Evolution 4 offers a wide range of realtime effects, including compression, noise gate, delays, reverb, chorus and 3-band EQ.
Whether you put them as inserts on a channel or use them as auxillaries, the effect parameters are realtime adjustable and can be fully automated. Together with all other mixing parameters, they can even be controlled remotely, using more ergonomic MIDI hardware.
Non-linear editing on the time line, including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions
The number of tracks per project(s) is unlimited .... AHI limits you to recording only two at a time. i.e. not on 8 track sound cards like the Juli@ or Phase 88.
sample file import is limited to 16bit AIFF (not AIFC, important distinction as some files from other sources can be AIFC with aiff file extension). and 16bit WAV (pcm only)
Most apps use the Music Unit only but a few apps also use Unit (0-3) instead or as well.
* Set up AHI prefs so that microphone is available. (Input option near the bottom)
stereo++ allows the audio piece to be placed anywhere and the left-right adjusted to sound positionally right
hifi best for music playback if driver supports this option
Load 16bit .aif .aiff only sample(s) to use not AIFC which can have the same ending. AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format

sox recital.wav −b 16 recital.aiff channels 1 rate 16k fade 3 norm
sox input.wav output.aiff bass −b 16 rate 48k
performs the same format translation, but also applies four effects (down-mix to one channel, sample rate change, fade-in, nomalize), and stores the result at a bit-depth of 16.
rec −c 2 radio.aiff trim 0 30:00
records half an hour of stereo audio
play existing-file.wav
24bit PCM WAV or AIFF do not work
*No stream format handling. So no way to pass on an AC3 encoded stream unmodified to the digital outputs through AHI.
*No master volume handling. Each application has to set its own volume. So each driver implements its own custom driver-mixer interface for handling master volumes, mute and preamps.
*Only one output stream. So all input gets mixed into one output.
*No automatic handling of output direction based on connected cables.
*No monitor input selection. Only monitor volume control.
select the correct input (Don't mistake enabled sound for the correct input.)
The monitor will feedback audio to the lineout and hp out no matter if you have selected the correct input to the ADC. The monitor will provide sound for any valid input. This will result in free mixing when recording from the monitor input instead of mic/line because the monitor itself will provide the hardware mixing for you. Be aware that MIC inputs will give two channel mono. Only Linein will give real stereo.
Now for the not working part. Attempt to record from linein in the AE4 record window, the right channel is noise and the left channel is distorted. Even with the recommended HIFI 16bit Stereo++ mode at 48kHz.

F6 for Sample File List
Setting a grid is easy as is measuring the BPM by marking a section of the sample. Is your kick drum track "not in time" ? If so, you're stumped in AE4 as it has no fancy variable time signatures and definitely no 'track this dodgy rhythm' function like software of the nature of Logic has. So if your drum beat is freeform you will need to work in freeform mode. (Real music is free form anyway).
If the drum *is* accurate and you are just having trouble measuring the time, I usually measure over a range of bars and set the number of beats in range to say 16 as this is more accurate, Then you will need to shift the drum track to match your grid *before* applying the grid. (probably an iterative process as when the grid is active samples snap to it, and when inactive you cannot see it).
AE4 does have ARexx but the functions are more for adding samples at set offsets and starting playback / recording.
These are the usual features found in DAWs...
* Recording digital audio, midi sequencer and mixer
* virtual VST instruments and plug-ins
* automation, group channels, MIDI channels, FX sends and returns, audio and MIDI editors and music notation editor
* different track views
* mixer and track layout (but not the same as below)
* traditional two windows (track and mixer)
Mixing - mixdown
Could not figure out how to select what part I wanted to send to the aux, set it to echo and return. Pretty much the whole echo effect. Or any effect.
Take look at page17 of the manual.
When you open the EQ / Aux send popup window you will see 4 sends. Now from the menu choose the windows menu.
Menus->Windows-> Aux Returns Window
or press F5
You will see a small window with 4 volume controls and an effects button for each. Click a button and add an effects to that aux channel, then set it up as desired (note the reverb effect has a special AUX setting that improves its use with the aux channel, not compulsory but highly useful). You set the amount of 'return' on the main mix in the Aux Return window, and the amount sent from each main mixer channel in the popup for that channel. Again the aux sends are "prefade" so the volume faders on each channel do not affect them.
Tracking
Effects - fade in
To add some echoes to some vocals, tried to add an effect on a track but did not come out. This is made more complicated as I wanted to mute a vocal but then make it echo at the muting point. Want to have one word of a vocal heard and then echoed off. But when the track is mute the echo is cancelled out.
To correctly understand what is happening here you need to study the figure at the bottom of page 15 on the manual. You will see from that that the effects are applied 'prefade' So the automation you applied will naturally mute the entire signal.
There would be a number of ways to achieve the goal,
You have three real time effects slots, one for smoothing like so
Sample -> Amplify -> Delay
Then automate the gain of the amplify block so that it effectively mutes the sample just before the delay at the appropriate moment, the echo effect should then be heard.
Getting the effects in the right order will require experimentation as they can only be added top down and it's not obvious which order they are applied to the signal, but there only two possibilities, so it wont take long to find out.
Using MUTE can cause clicks to the Amplify can be used to mute more smoothly so that's a secondary advantage.

====Document Scanning - Scandal====
Scanner usually needs to be connected via a USB port and not via a hub or extension lead.
Check in Trident Prefs -> Devices that the USB Scanner is not bound to anything (e.g. Bindings None)
If not found then reboot the computer and recheck.
Start Scandal, choose Settings from Menu strip at top of screen and in Scanner Driver choose the ?#.device of the scanner (e.g. epson2.device).
The next two boxes - leave empty as they are for morphos SCSI use only
or put ata.device (use the selection option in bigger box below) and Unit as 0 this is needed for gt68xx
* gt68xx - no editing needed in s/gt68xx.conf but needs a firmware file that corresponds to the scanner [http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ gt68xx firmwares] in sys:s/gt68xx.
* epson2 - Need to edit the file epson2.conf in sys/s that corresponds to the scanner being used
'''Save''' the settings but do not press the Use button (aros freezes)
Back to the Picture Scan window and the right-hand sections.
Click on the '''Information''' tab and press Connect button and the scanner should now be detected.
Go next to the '''Scanner''' tab next to Information Tab should have Color, Black and White, etc. and dpi settings now. Selecting an option Color, B/W etc. can cause dpi settings corruption (especially if the settings are in one line) so set '''dpi first'''. Make sure if Preview is set or not.
In the '''Scan''' Tab, press Scan and the scanner will do its duty.
Be aware that nothing is saved to disk yet.
In the Save tab, change format JPEG, PNG or IFF DEEP. Tick incremental and base filename if necessary and then click the Save button. The image will now be saved to permanent storage.
The driver ignores a device if it is already bond to another USB class, rejects it from being usable. However, open Trident prefs, select your device and use the right mouse button to open. Select "NONE" to prevent poseidon from touching the device. Now save settings. It should always work now.

===Emulators===
==== Amiberry ====
==== Amiga Emu - Janus UAE ====
With Amibridge, AROS attempts to make the UAE emulator seem embedded within but it still is acting as an app
There is no dynarec m68k for each hardware that Aros supports or direct patching of motorola calls to AROS hardware accelerated ones unless the emulator has that included
Try starting Janus with a priority of -1 like this little script:
<pre>
cd sys:system/AmiBridge/emulator
changetaskpri -1
run janus-uae -f my_uaerc.config >nil:
cd sys:prefs

Since for the time being no project is loaded, a query window indicates a procedural error when clicking on the rendering icon (right end of the bar). The menu is quite traditional; it varies according to the activity of the windows. To display any altimetric file in the "Mapview" (third icon of the panel), There are three possibilities:
* Loading of a demonstration project.
* The import of a DEM file, followed by texturing and packaging from the "Database-Editor" and the "Color-Editor".
* The creation of an altimetric file in WCS format, then texturing.
The altimeter file editing (display in the menu) is only made possible if the "Mapview" window is active.
The software is made up of many windows and won't be able to describe them all. Know that "Color-Editor" and the "Data-Editor" comprise sufficient functions for obtaining an almost real rendering quality. You have the possibility of inserting vector objects in the "Data-Editor" (creation of roads, railways, etc.)
The Map View (MapView) window
*Database - Objects and Topos
*View - Align, Center, Zoom, Pan, Move
*Draw - Maps and distance
*Object - Find, highlight, add points, conform topo, duplicate
*Motion - Camera, Focus, path, elevation
*Windows - DEM designer, Cloud (.cld) and wave (.wve) editor,
You will notice that by selecting this window and simply moving the pointer to various points on the map you will see latitude and longitude values change, along with the height.
Drop-down menu and Modules, then select MapView and change the width of the window with the map to arrange it in the best way on the screen. With the Auto button the center. Window that then displays the contents of my DEM file, in this case the Grand Canyon. MapView allows you to observe the shape of the landscape from above
ZOOM button
Press the Zoom button and then with the pointer position on a point on the map, press the left mouse button and then move to the opposite corner to circumscribe the chosen area and press the left mouse button again, then we will see the enlarged area selected on the map.
Would add that there is a box next to the Zoom button that allows the direct insertion of a value which, the larger it is, the smaller the magnification and the smaller the value, the stronger the magnification. At each numerical change you will need to press the DRAW button to update the view.
PAN button
Under Zoom you will find the PAN button which allows you to move the map at will in all directions by the amount you want. This is done by drawing a line in one direction, then press PAN and point to an area on the map with the pointer and press the left mouse button. At this point, leave it and move the pointer in one direction by drawing a line and press the left mouse button again to trigger the movement of the map on the screen (origin and end points). Do some experiments and then use the Auto button immediately below to recenter everything.
There are parameters such as TOPO, VEC to be left checked and immediately below one that allows different views of the map with the Style command (Single, Multi, Surface, Emboss, Slope, Contour), each with its own particularities to highlight different details.
Now you have the first basics to manage your project visually on the map. Close the MapView window and go further...
Let's start working on ECOSYSTEMS
If we select Emboss from the MapView Style command we will have a clear idea of how the landscape appears, realizing that it is a predominantly desert region of our planet. Therefore we will begin to act on any vegetation present and the appearance of the landscape.
With WCS we will begin to break down the elements of the landscape by assigning defined characteristics. It will be necessary to determine the classes of the ecosystem (Class) with parameters of Elevation Line (maximum altitude), Relative Elevation (arrangement on basins or convexities with respectively positive or negative parameters), Min Slope and Max Slope (slope). WCS offers the possibility of making ecosystems coexist on the same terrain with the UnderEco function, by setting a Density value.
Ecosys Ecosystem Editor
Let's open it from Modules, then Ecosys Editor. In the left pane you will find the list of ecosystems referring to the files present in our project. It will be necessary to clean up that box to leave only the Water and Snow landscapes and a few other predefined ones. We can do this by selecting the items and pressing the Remove button (be careful not for all elements the button is activated, therefore they cannot all be eliminated).
Once this is done we can start adding new ecosystems. Scroll through the various Unused and as soon as the Name item at the top is activated allowing you to write, type the name of your ecosystem, adding the necessary parameters.
<pre>
Ecosystem1: Name: RockBase Class: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 15 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosystem2: Name: RockIncl Clss: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 30 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosystem3: Name: Grass Class Low Veg Density: 50 Height: 1 Elev Line : 1500 Rel El Eff: 5
Max Slope: 10 – Min Slope: 0 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosistema4: Name: Shrubs Class: Low Veg Density: 40 Height: 8 Elev Line: 3000
Rel El Eff: -2 Max Slope: 20 Min Slope : 5 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosistema5: Name: Terrain Class: Ground Density: 100 UnderEco: Terrain
</pre>
Now we need to identify an intermediate ecosystem that guarantees a smooth transition between all, therefore we select as Understory Ecosystem the one called Terrain in all ecosystems, except Snow and Water .
Now we need to 'emerge' the Colorado River in the Canyon and we can do this by raising the sea level to 900 (Sea Level) in the Ecosystem called Water.
Please note that the order of the ecosystem list gives priority to those that come after. So our list must have the following order: Water, Snow, Shrubs, RockIncl, RockBase, Terrain. It is possible to carry out all movements with the Swap button at the bottom. To put order you can also press Short List. Press Keep to confirm all the work done so far with Ecosystem Editor.
Remember every now and then to save both the Project 'Modules/Save' and 'Parameter/Save All'
EcoModels are made up of .etp .fgp .iff8 for each model
Color Editor
Now it's time to define the colors of our scene and we can do this by going to Modules and then Color Editor. In the list we focus on our ecosystems, created first.
Let's go to the bottom of the list and select the first white space, assigning the name 'empty1', with a color we like and then we will find this element again in other environments... It could serve as an example for other situations!
So we move to 'grass' which already exists and assign the following colors: R 60 G 70 B50
<pre>
'shrubs': R 60 G 80 B 30
'RockIncl' R 110 G 65 B 60
'RockBase' R 110 G 80 B 80
' Terrain' R 150 G 30 B 30
<pre>
Now we can work on pre-existing colors
<pre>
'SunLight' R 150 G 130 B 130
'Haze and Fog' R 190 G 170 B 170
'Horizon' R 209 G 185 B 190
'Zenith' R 140 G 150 B 200
'Water' R 90 G 125 B 170
</pre>
Ambient R 0 G 0 B 0
So don't forget to close Color Editor by pressing Keep.
Go once again to Ecosystem Editor and assign the corresponding color to each environment by selecting it using the Ecosystem Color button. Press it several times until the correct one appears. Then save the project and parameters again, as done previously.
Motion Editor
Now it's time to take care of the framing, so let's go to Modules and then to Motion Editor. An extremely feature-rich window will open. Following is the list of parameters regarding the Camera, position and other characteristics:
<pre>
-Camera Altitude: 7.0
-Camera Latitude: 36.075
-Camera Longitude: 112.133
-Focus Attitude: -2.0
-Focus Latitude: 36.275
-Focus Longitude: 112.386
-Camera : 512 → rendering window
-Camera Y: 384 → rendering window
-View Arc: 80 → View width in degrees
-Sun Longitude: 172
-Sun Latitude: -0.9
-Haze Start: 3.8
-Haze Range: 78, 5
</pre>
As soon as the values shown in the relevant sliders have been modified, we will be ready to open the CamView window to observe the wireframe preview. Let's not consider all the controls that will appear.
Well from the Motion Editor if you have selected Camera Altitude and open the CamView panel, you can change the height of the camera by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. To update the view, press the Terrain button in the adjacent window. As soon as you are convinced of the position, confirm again with Keep. You can carry out the same work with the other functions of the camera, such as Focus Altitude...
Let's now see the next positioning step on the Camera map, but let's leave the CamView preview window open while we go to Modules to open the window at the same time MapView. We will thus be able to take advantage of the view from the other together with a subjective one.
From the MapView window, select with the left mouse button and while it is pressed, move the Camera as desired. To update the subjective preview, always click on Terrain.
While with the same procedure you can intervene on the direction of the camera lens, by selecting the cross and with the left button pressed you can choose the desired view. So with the pressure of Terrain I update the Preview. Possibly can enlarge or reduce the Map View using the Zoom button, for greater precision.
Also write that the circle around the cameras indicates the beginning of the haze, there are two types (haze and fog) linked to the altitude. Would also add that the camera height is editable through the Motion Editor panel.
The sun
Let's see that changing the position of the sun from the Motion Editor. Press the SUN button at the bottom right and set the time and the date. Longitude and latitude are automatically obtained by the program. Always open the View Arc command from the Motion Editor panel, an item present in the Parameter List box.
Once again confirm everything with Keep and then save again.
Animation
The animation part is not left-back and also occupies a window. The settings possibilities are enormous. A time line with dragging functions ("slide", "drag"...) comparable to that of LightWave completes this window.
A small window is available for positioning the stars as a function of a date, in order to vary the seasons and their various events (and yes...).
At the bottom of the "Motion-Editor", a "cam-view" function will give you access to a control panel. Different preview modes are possible. The rendering is also accessible through a window. No less than nine pages compose it. At this level, you will be able to determine the backup name of your images ("path"), the type of texture to be calculated, the resolution of the images, activate or deactivate functions such as the depth buffer ("zbuffer"), the blur, the background image, etc.
Once all these parameters have been set, all you have to do is click on the "Render" button.
For rendering go to Modules and then Render. Select the resolution, then under IMA select the name of the image. Move to FRA and indicate the level of fractal detail which of 4 is quite good. Then Keep to confirm and then reopen the window, pressing Render you will see the result. The image will be opened with any viewing program.
Strengths:
* Multi-window.
* Quality of rendering.
* Accuracy.
* Opening, preview and rendering on CyberGraphX screen.
* Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats
* The "zbuffer" function.
Weaknesses:
* No OpenGL management
* Calculation time.
* No network computing tool.
====Writing CD / DVD - Frying Pan====
Can be backup DVDs (4GB ISO size limit due to use of FileInfoBlock), create audio cds from mp3's, and put .iso files on discs
If using for the first time - click Drive button and Device set to ata.device and unit to 0 (zero)
Click Tracks Button - Drive 1 - Create New Disc or Import Existing Disc Image (iso bin/cue etc.) - Session File open cue file
If you're making a data cd, with files and drawers from your hard drive, you should be using the ISO Builder.. which is the MUI page on the left. ("Data/Audio Tracks" is on the right).
You should use the "Data/Audio tracks" page if you want to create music cds with AIFF/WAV/MP3 files, or if you download an .iso file, and you want to put it on a cd.
Click WRITE Button - set write speed - click on long Write button
Examples
Easiest way would be to burn a DATA CD, simply go to "Tracks" page "ISO Builder" and "ADD" everything you need to burn.
On the "Write" page i have "Masterize Disc (DAO)", "Close Disc" and "Eject after Write" set.
One must not "Blank disc before write" if one uses a CDR
AUDIO CD from MP3's are as easy but tricky to deal with. FP only understands one MP3 format, Layer II, everything else will just create empty tracks
Burning bootable CD's works only with .iso files. Go to "Tracks" page and "Data/Audio Tracks" and add the .iso
====odf====
Every ODF file is a collection of several subdocuments within a package (ZIP file), each of which stores part of the complete document.
* content.xml – Document content and automatic styles used in the content.
* styles.xml – Styles used in the document content and automatic styles used in the styles themselves.
* meta.xml – Document meta information, such as the author or the time of the last save action.
* settings.xml – Application-specific settings, such as the window size or printer information.
To read document follow these steps:
* Extracting .ods file.
* Getting content.xml file (which contains sheets data).
* Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file.
* Creating DataSet (that represent Spreadsheet file).
* With XmlDocument select “table:table” elements, and then create adequate DataTables.
* Parse child’s of “table:table” element and fill DataTables with those data.
* At the end, return DataSet and show it in application’s interface.
To write document follow these steps:
* Extracting template.ods file (.ods file that we use as template).
* Getting content.xml file.
* Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file.
* Erasing all “table:table” elements from the content.xml file.
* Reading data from our DataSet and composing adequate “table:table” elements.
* Adding “table:table” elements to content.xml file.
* Zipping that file as new .ods file.
XLS file format
The XLS file format contains streams, substreams, and records.
These sheet substreams include worksheets, macro sheets, chart sheets, dialog sheets, and VBA module sheets.
All the records in an XLS document start with a 2-byte unsigned integer to specify Record Type (rt), and another for Count of Bytes (cb). A record cannot exceed 8224 bytes. If larger than the rest is stored in one or more continue records.
* Workbook stream
**Globals substream
***BoundSheet8 record - info for Worksheet substream i.e. name, location, type, and visibility. (4bytes the lbPlyPos FilePointer, specifies the position in the Workbook stream where the sheet substream starts)
**Worksheet substream (sheet) - Cell Table - Row record - Cells (2byte=row 2byte=column 2byte=XF format)
***Blank cell record
***RK cell record 32-bit number.
***BoolErr cell record (2-byte Bes structure that may be either a Boolean value or an error code)
***Number cell record (64-bit floating-point number)
***LabelSst cell record (4-byte integer that specifies a string in the Shared Strings Table (SST). Specifically, the integer corresponds to the array index in the RGB field of the SST)
***Formula cell record (FormulaValue structure in the 8 bytes that follow the cell structure. The next 6 bytes can be ignored, and the rest of the record is a CellParsedFormula structure that contains the formula itself)
***MulBlank record (first 2 bytes give the row, and the next 2 bytes give the column that the series of blanks starts at. Next, a variable length array of cell structures follows to store formatting information, and the last 2 bytes show what column the series of blanks ends on)
***MulRK record
***Shared String Table (SST) contains all of the string values in the workbook.

Most apps can be opened on the Workbench (aka publicscreen pubscreen) which is the default display option but can offer a custom one set to your configurations (aka custom screen mode promotion). These custom ones tend to stack so the possible use of A-M/A-N method of switching between full screens and the ability to pull down screens as well

==Application Guides==
[[#top|...to the top]]
===Web Browser===
OWB is now at version 2.0 (which got an engine refresh, from July 2015 to February 2019) and 3.0.
This latest version has a good support for many/most web sites, even YouTube web page now works. [https://www.bilibili.tv/en/search untested]
This improved compatibility comes at the expense of higher RAM usage (now 1GB RAM is the absolute minimum).
Also, keep in mind that the lack of a JIT (Just-In-Time) JS compiler on the 32 bit version, makes the web surfing a bit slow.
Only the 64 bit version of OWB 2.0 will have JIT enabled, thus benefitting of more speed. There are tooltypes that can be added to the icon to provide further features JIT, MSE etc
Certificates from [https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html ca certs],
DNS tracking blocking with [https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt easylist.txt] in PROGDIR:Conf before starting browser with enabled AdBlock [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master easylist], [https://gitlab.com/eyeo anti abp], [https://firebog.net/ big blocklist], [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Steves], [], [],
This can be enabled with OWB Odyssey with Windows -> Content Blocking and Windows -> Messages and enter

https://www.youtube.com/pagead/adview*

into your custom filters
Element blocker browser extension might be needed for [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/wiki/Youtube-Issues youtube], [ mid roll], [ pre roll], [ ],
OWB speed is much better when running from RAM Disk, the best way is to add the below into your S:User-Startup which copies OWB drawer from Extras:Internet/OWB to RAM Disk:
So add this :
<pre>
copy Extras:Internet/OWB Ram:OWB/ ALL CLONE >NIL:
copy Extras:Internet/OWB.info Ram: >NIL:
</pre>
Open RAM Disk and open OWB drawer and double click on OWB icon so that the above icon tooltypes are activated
Problems are that the copy time is long (around 20 seconds added in the background), but we can make it faster if we delete useless files from the OWB drawer (docs, …)
If you don’t copy the drawer back onto the HD, you won’t save your cache, cookies, passwords… So you need a script for it.
copy Extras:Internet/Amelinium/#? Ram:Amelinium/ ALL CLONE >NIL:

===E-mail===
Emailinium is now available for IMAP and POP3 based accounts
YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections
====SimpleMail====
SimpleMail supports IMAP and appears to work with GMail, but it's never been reliable enough, it can crash with large mailboxes.
Please read more on this [http://www.freelists.org/list/simplemail-usr User list]
GMail
Be sure to activate the pop3 usage in your gmail account setup / configuration first.
pop3:
pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
smtp:
smtp.gmail.com (with authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 465 or 587
Hotmail/MSN/outlook/Microsoft Mail mid-2017, all outlook.com accounts will be migrated to Office 365 / Exchange
Most users are currently on POP which does not allow showing folders and many other features (technical limitations of POP3). With Microsoft IMAP you will get folders, sync read/unread, and show flags. You still won't get push though, as Microsoft has not turned on the IMAP Idle command as at Sept 2013.
If you want to try it, you need to first remove (you can't edit) your pop account (long-press the account on the accounts screen, delete account). Then set it up this way:
1. Email/Password
2. Manual
3. IMAP
4.
* Incoming: imap-mail.outlook.com, port 993, SSL/TLS should be checked
* Outgoing: smtp-mail.outlook.com, port 587, SSL/TLS should be checked
* POP server name pop-mail.outlook.com, port 995, POP encryption method SSL
Yahoo Mail
On April 24, 2002 Yahoo ceased to offer POP access to its free mail service. Introducing instead a yearly payment feature, allowing users POP3 and IMAP server support, along with such benefits as larger file attachment sizes and no adverts.
Sorry to see Yahoo leaving its users to cough up for the privilege of accessing their mail. Understandable, when competing against rivals such as Gmail and Hotmail who hold a large majority of users and were hacked in 2014 as well.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
* Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
* Port - 993
* Requires SSL - Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
* Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
* Port - 465 or 587
* Requires SSL - Yes
* Requires authentication - Yes
Your login info
* Email address - Your full email address (name@domain.com)
* Password - Your account's password
* Requires authentication - Yes
Note that you need to enable “Web & POP Access” in your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo Mail messages through any other email program.
You will have to enable “Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed” under “POP and Forwarding”, to send and receive Yahoo mails through any other email client.
Cannot be done since 2002 unless the customer pays Yahoo a subscription subs fee to have access to SMTP and POP3
* Set the POP server for incoming mails as pop.mail.yahoo.com. You will have to enable “SSL” and use 995 for Port.
* “Account Name or Login Name” – Your Yahoo Mail ID i.e. your email address without the domain “@yahoo.com”.
* “Email Address” – Your Yahoo Mail address i.e. your email address including the domain “@yahoo.com”. E.g. myname@yahoo.com
* “Password” – Your Yahoo Mail password.
Yahoo! Mail Plus users may have to set POP server as plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and SMTP server as plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
* Set the SMTP server for outgoing mails as smtp.mail.yahoo.com. You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work.
====YAM Yet Another Mailer====
YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers have now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections
This email client is POP3 only if the SSL library is available [http://www.freelists.org/list/yam YAM Freelists]
One of the downsides of using a POP3 mailer unfortunately - you have to set an option not to delete the mail if you want it left on the server. IMAP keeps all the emails on the server.
Possible issues
Sending mail issues is probably a matter of using your ISP's SMTP server, though it could also be an SSL issue.
getting a "Couldn't initialise TLSv1 / SSL error
Use of on-line e-mail accounts with this email client is not possible as it lacks the OpenSSL AmiSSl v3 compatible library
GMail
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com')
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)
Password: your Gmail password
Anyway, the SMTP is pop.gmail.com port 465 and it uses SSLLv3 Authentication. The POP3 settings are for the same server (pop.gmail.com), only on port 995 instead.
Outlook.com access
<pre >
Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
Outlook.com SMTP password: Your Outlook.com password
Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
</pre >
Yahoo Mail
<pre >
“POP3 Server” – Set the POP server for incoming mails as pop.mail.yahoo.com. You will have to enable “SSL” and use 995 for Port.
“SMTP Server” – Set the SMTP server for outgoing mails as smtp.mail.yahoo.com. You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work.
“Account Name or Login Name” – Your Yahoo Mail ID i.e. your email address without the domain “@yahoo.com”.
“Email Address” – Your Yahoo Mail address i.e. your email address including the domain “@yahoo.com”. E.g. myname@yahoo.com
“Password” – Your Yahoo Mail password.
</pre >
Yahoo! Mail Plus users may have to set POP server as plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and SMTP server as plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
Note that you need to enable “Web & POP Access” in your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo Mail messages through any other email program.
You will have to enable “Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed” under “POP and Forwarding”, to send and receive Yahoo mails through any other email client.
Cannot be done since 2002 unless the customer pays Yahoo a monthly fee to have access to SMTP and POP3
Microsoft Outlook Express Mail
1. Get the files to your PC.
By whatever method get the files off your Amiga onto your PC. In the YAM folder you have a number of different folders, one for each of your folders in YAM. Inside that is a file usually some numbers such as 332423.283. YAM created a new file for every single email you received.
2. Open up a brand new Outlook Express. Just configure the account to use 127.0.0.1 as mail servers. It doesn't really matter. You will need to manually create any subfolders you used in YAM.
3. You will need to do a mass rename on all your email files from YAM. Just add a .eml to the end of it. Amazing how PCs still rely mostly on the file name so it knows what sort of file it is rather than just looking at it! There are a number of multiple renamers online to download and free too.
4. Go into each of your folders, inbox, sent items etc. And do a select all then drag the files into Outlook Express (to the relevant folder obviously) Amazingly the file format that YAM used is very compatible with .eml standard and viola your emails appear. With correct dates and working attachments.
5. If you want your email into Microsoft Outlook. Open that up and create a new profile and a new blank PST file. Then go into File Import and choose to import from Outlook Express. And the mail will go into there. And viola.. you have your old email from your Amiga in a more modern day format.
===FTP===
Magellan has a great FTP module. It allows transferring files from/to a FTP server over the Internet or the local network and, even if FTP is perceived as a "thing of the past", its usability is all inside the client. The FTP thing has a nice side effect too, since every Icaros machine can be a FTP server as well, and our files can be easily transferred from an Icaros machine to another with a little configuration effort.
First of all, we need to know the 'server' IP address. Server is the Icaros machine with the file we are about to download on another Icaros machine, that we're going to call 'client'. To do that, move on the server machine and 1) run Prefs/Services to be sure "FTP file transfer" is enabled (if not, enable it and restart Icaros); 2) run a shell and enter this command:
ifconfig -a
Make a note of the IP address for the network interface used by the local area network. For cabled devices, it usually is net0:. Now go on the client machine and run Magellan:
Perform these actions: 1) click on FTP; 2) click on ADDRESS BOOK; 3) click on "New".
You can now add a new entry for your Icaros server machine:
1) Choose a name for your server, in order to spot it immediately in the address book. Enter the IP address you got before.
2) click on Custom Options:
1) go to Miscellaneous in the left menu;
2) Ensure "Passive Transfers" is NOT selected;
3) click on Use. We need to deactivate Passive Transfers because YAFS, the FTP server included in Icaros, only allows active transfers at the current stage. Now, we can finally connect to our new file source:
1) Look into the address book for the newly introduced server, be sure that name and IP address are right, and
2) click on Connect. A new lister with server's "MyWorkspace" contents will appear. You can now transfer files over the network choosing a destination among your local (client's) volumes.
Can be adapted to any FTP client on any platform of your choice, just be sure your client allows Active Transfers as well.
===IRC Internet Relay Chat===
Jabberwocky is ideal for one-to-one social media communication, use IRC if you require one to many.
Just type a message in ''lowercase''' letters and it will be posted to all in the [ AROS irc channel]. Please do not use UPPER CASE as it is a sign of SHOUTING which is annoying.
Other things to type in - replace <message> with a line of text and <nick> with a person's name
<pre>
/help

/who
/whois <nick>
/msg <nick> <message>
/query <nick>

Issue the command /me <text> where <text> is the text that should follow your nickname.
Example: /me slaps ajk around a bit with a large trout
/nick <newNick>
/nickserv register <password> <email address>
/ns instead of /nickserv, while others might need /msg nickserv

====IRC Aircos ====
Double click on Aircos icon in Extras:Networking/Apps/Aircos. It has been set up with a guest account for trial purposes. Though ideally, choose a nickname and password for frequent use of irc.
====IRC and XMPP Jabberwocky====
Servers are setup and close down at random
You sign up to a server that someone else has setup and access chat services through them.
The two ways to access chat from jabberwocky
<pre >
Jabberwocky -> Server -> XMPP -> open and ad-free
Jabberwocky -> Server -> Transports (Gateways) -> Proprietary closed systems
</pre >
The Jabber.org service connects with all IM services that use XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging and presence over the Internet. The services we connect with include Google Talk (closed), Live Journal Talk, Nimbuzz, Ovi, and thousands more. However, you can not connect from Jabber.org to proprietary services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, or Yahoo because they don’t yet use XMPP components (XEP-0114) '''but''' you can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo etc.) instead.
The best way to use jabberwocky is in conjunction with a public jabber server with '''transports''' to your favorite services, like gtalk, Facebook, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc.
You have to register with one of the servers, [https://list.jabber.at/ this list] or [http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ another list], [http://xmpp.net/ this security XMPP list],
Unfortunately jabberwocky can only connect to one server at a time so it is best to check what services each server offers. If you set it up with separate Facebook and google talk accounts, for example, sometimes you'll only get one or the other.
Jabberwocky open a window where the Jabber server part is typed in as well as your Nickname and Password.
Jabber ID (JID) identifies you to the server and other users.
Once registered the next step is to goto Jabberwocky's "Windows" menu and select the "Agents" option. The "Agents List" window will open.
Roster (contacts list)
[http://search.wensley.org.uk/ Chatrooms] (MUC) are available
File Transfer - can send and receive files through the Jabber service but not with other services like IRC, ICQ, AIM or Yahoo. All you need is an installed webbrowser and OpenURL.
Clickable URLs - The message window uses Mailtext.mcc and you can set a URL action in the MUI mailtext prefs like SYS:Utils/OpenURL %s NEWWIN.
There is no consistent Skype like (H.323 VoIP) video conferencing available over Jabber. The move from xmpp to Jingle should help but no support on any amiga-like systems at the moment. [http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/AmiPhoneSrc192 AmiPhone] and [http://www.lysator.liu.se/%28frame,faq,nobg,useframes%29/ahi/v4-site/ Speak Freely] was an early attempt voice only contact. SIP and Asterisk are other PBX options.
Facebook
If you're using the XMPP transport provided by Facebook themselves, chat.facebook.com, it looks like they're now requiring SSL transport. This means jabberwocky method below will no longer work. The best thing to do is to create an ID on a public jabber server which has a Facebook gateway.
<pre >
1. launch jabberwocky
2. if the login window doesn't appear on launch, select 'account' from the jabberwocky menu
3. your jabber ID will be user@chat.facebook.com where user is your user ID
4. your password is your normal facebook password
5. to save this for next time, click the popup gadget next to the ID field
6. click the 'add' button
7. click the 'close' button
8. click the 'connect' button
</pre >
you're done. you can also click the 'save as default account' button if you want. jabberwocky configured to auto-connect when launching the program, but you can configure as you like. there is amigaguide documentation included with jabberwocky.
[http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=37085&forum=32 Read more here]
for Facebook users, you can log-in directly to Facebook with jabberwocky. just sign in as @chat.facebook.com with your Facebook password as the password
Twitter
For a few years, there has been added a twitter transport. Servers include [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/ jabber.hot-chili.net], and .
An [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/tag/how-tos/ How-to]
:Read [http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/2010/05/09/twitter-transport-working/ more]
Instagram
no support at the moment best to use a web browser based client
ICQ
The new version (beta) of StriCQ uses a newer ICQ protocol. Most of the ICQ Jabber Transports still use an older ICQ protocol. You can only talk one-way to StriCQ using the older Transports. Only the newer ICQv7 Transport lets you talk both ways to StriCQ. Look at the server lists in the first section to check.
Register on a Jabber server, e.g. this one works: http://www.jabber.de/
Then login into Jabberwocky with the following login data e.g. xxx@jabber.de / Password: xxx Now add your ICQ account under the window->Agents->"Register". Now Jabberwocky connects via the Jabber.de server with your ICQ account.
Yahoo Messenger
although yahoo! does not use xmpp protocol, you should be able to use the transport methods to gain access and post your replies
MSN
early months of 2013 Microsoft will ditch MSN Messenger client and force everyone to use Skype...but MSN protocol and servers will keep working as usual for quite a long time....
Occasionally the Messenger servers have been experiencing problems signing in. You may need to sign in at www.outlook.com and then try again. It may also take multiple tries to sign in. (This also affects you if you’re using Skype.)
You have to check each servers' Agents List to see what transports (MSN protocol, ICQ protocol, etc.) are supported or use the list address' provided in the section above. Then register with each transport (IRC, MSN, ICQ, etc.) to which you need access. After registering you can Connect to start chatting.
msn.jabber.com/registered should appear in the window.
From this [http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-jabberwocky/message/1378 JW group] guide which helps with this process in a clear, step by step procedure.
1. Sign up on MSN's site for a passport account. This typically involves getting a Hotmail address.
2. Log on to the Jabber server of your choice and do the following:
* Select the "Windows/Agents" menu option in Jabberwocky.
* Select the MSN Agent from the list presented by the server.
* Click the Register button to open a new window asking for:
**Username = passort account email address, typically your hotmail address.
**Nick = Screen name to be shown to anyone you add to your buddy list.
**Password = Password for your passport account/hotmail address.
* Click the Register button at the bottom of the new window.
3. If all goes well, you will see the MSN Gateway added to your buddy list. If not, repeat part 2 on another server. Some servers may show MSN in their list of available agents, but have not updated their software for the latest protocols used by MSN.
4. Once you are registered, you can now add people to your buddy list. Note that you need to include the '''msn.''' ahead of the servername so that it knows what gateway agent to use. Some servers may use a slight variation and require '''msg.gate.''' before the server name, so try both to see what works.
If my friend's msn was amiga@hotmail.co.uk and my jabber server was @jabber.meta.net.nz..
then amiga'''%'''hotmail.com@'''msn.'''jabber.meta.net.nz
or another the trick to import MSN contacts is that you don't type the hotmail URL but the passport URL... e.g. Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com You type: goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com
And the thing about importing contacts I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time...
Google Talk
any XMPP server will work, but you have to add your contacts manually. a google talk user is typically either @gmail.com or @talk.google.com. a true gtalk transport is nice because it brings your contacts to you and (can) also support file transfers to/from google talk users.

support ended early 2014 as Google moved to Google+ Hangouts which uses it own proprietary format

MPlayer supports multicast streaming, and rtp/rtsp protocols (it might require [http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ live555 library] to work with some streams). But you might have to build it where it's disabled. Also, multicast won't work with some AmiTCP-likes. MIAMI supported it, though.
AROS supports IPv4 (old but works) and this includes the needed address space for RTP.
If you mean multicast via RTP - mplayer handles it. You can even force UDP over TCP

====ZunePaint====
simplified typical workflow
* importing and organizing and photo management
* making global and regional local correction(s) - recalculation is necessary after each adjustment as it is not in real-time
* exporting your images in the best format available with the preservation of metadata
Whilst achieving 80% of a great photo with just a filter, the remaining 20% comes from a manual fine-tuning of specific image attributes.
For photojournalism, documentary, and event coverage, minimal touching is recommended. Stick to Camera Raw for such shots, and limit changes to level adjustment, sharpness, noise reduction, and white balance correction.
For fashion or portrait shoots, a large amount of adjustment is allowed and usually ends up far from the original. Skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye touch-ups, etc. are common. Might alter the background a bit to emphasize the subject.
Product photography usually requires a lot of sharpening, spot removal, and focus stacking.
For landscape shots, best results are achieved by doing the maximum amount of preparation before/while taking the shot. No amount of processing can match timing, proper lighting, correct gear, optimal settings, etc. Excessive post-processing might give you a dramatic shot but best avoided in the long term.
* White Balance - Left Amiga or F12 and K and under "Misc color effects" tab with a pull down for White Balance - color temperature also known as AKA tint (movies) or tones (painting) - warm temp raise red reduce green blue - cool raise blue lower red green
* Exposure - exposure compensation, highlight/shadow recovery
* Noise Reduction - during RAW development or using external software
* Lens Corrections - distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations
* Detail - capture sharpening and local contrast enhancement
* Contrast - black point, levels (sliders) and curves tools (F12 and K)
* Framing - straighten () and crop (F12 and F)
* Refinements - color adjustments and selective enhancements - Left Amiga or F12 and K for RGB and YUV histogram tabs -
* Resizing - enlarge for a print or downsize for the web or email (F12 and D)
* Output Sharpening - customized for your subject matter and print/screen size
White Balance - F12 and K
scan your image for a shade which was meant to be white (neutral with each RGB value being equal) like paper or plastic which is in the same light as the subject of the picture. Use the dropper tool to select this color, similar colours will shift and you will have selected the perfect white balance for your part of the image - for the whole picture make sure RAZ or CLR button at the bottom is pressed before applying to the image above.
Exposure correction
F12 and K - YUV Y luminosity - RGB extra red tint - move red curve slightly down and move blue green curves slightly up
Workflows in practice
* Undo - Right AROS key or F12 and Z
* Redo - Right AROS key or F12 and R
First flatten your image (if necessary) and then do a rotation until the picture looks level.
* Crop the picture. Click the selection button and drag a box over the area of the picture you want to keep. Press the crop button and the rest of the photo will be gone.
* Adjust your saturation, exposure, hue levels, etc., (right AROS Key and K for color correction) until you are happy with the photo. Make sure you zoom in all of the way to 100% and look the photo over, zoom back out and move around. Look for obvious problems with the picture.
* After coloring and exposure do a sharpen (Right AROS key and E for Convolution and select drop down option needed), e.g. set the matrix to 5x5 (roughly equivalent Amount to 60%) and set the Radius to 1.0. Click OK.
And save your picture
Implemented or would like to see for simplification and ease of use
basic filters (presets) like black and white, monochrome, edge detection (sobel), motion/gaussian blur,

perspective correction
levels - directly modify the levels of the tone-values of an image, by using sliders for highlights, midtones and shadows
curves - Color Adjustment and Brightness/Contrast
color balance
one single color transparent (alpha channel (color information/selections) for masking and/or blending ) for backgrounds, etc.
Threshold indicates how much other colors will be considered mixture of the removed color and non-removed colors
decompose layer into a set of layers with each holding a different type of pattern that is visible within the image
any selection using any selecting tools like lasso tool, marquee tool etc. the selection will temporarily be save to alpha
If you create your image without transparency then the Alpha channel is not present, but you can add later.
File formats like .psd (Photoshop file has layers, masks etc. contains edited sensor data. The original sensor data is no longer available) .xcf .raw .hdr
Image Picture Formats
* low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF 8-bit), 16-bit (PPM, TIFF), typically as a 16-bit TIFF in either ProPhoto or AdobeRGB colorspace - TIFF files are also fairly universal – although, if they contain proprietary data, such as Photoshop Adjustment Layers or Smart Filters, then they can only be opened by Photoshop making them proprietary.
* linear high dynamic range (HDR) images (PFM, [http://www.openexr.com/ ILM .EXR], jpg, [http://aminet.net/util/dtype cr2] (canon tiff based), hdr, NEF, CRW, ARW, MRW, ORF, RAF (Fuji), PEF, DCR, SRF, ERF, DNG files are RAW converted to an Adobe proprietary format - a container that can embed the raw file as well as the information needed to open it)
An old version of [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&cat=graphics/convert dcraw]
There is no single RAW file format. Each camera manufacturer has one or more unique RAW formats. RAW files contain the brightness levels data captured by the camera sensor. This data cannot be modified. A second smaller file, separate XML file, or within a database with instructions for the RAW processor to change exposure, saturation etc. The extra data can be changed but the original sensor data is still there. RAW is technically least compatible.
A raw file is high-bit (usually 12 or 14 bits of information) but a camera-generated TIFF file will be usually converted by the camera (compressed, downsampled) to 8 bits. The raw file has no embedded color balance or color space, but the TIFF has both. These three things (smaller bit depth, embedded color balance, and embedded color space) make it so that the TIFF will lose quality more quickly with image adjustments than the raw file. The camera-generated TIFF image is much more like a camera processed JPEG than a raw file. A strong advantage goes to the raw file. The power of RAW files, such as the ability to set any color temperature non-destructively and will contain more tonal values.
The principle of preserving the maximum amount of information to as late as possible in the process. The final conversion - which will always effectively represent a "downsampling" - should prevent as much loss as possible.
Once you save it as TIFF, you throw away some of that data irretrievably. When saving in the lossy JPEG format, you get tremendous file size savings, but you've irreversibly thrown away a lot of image data. As long as you have the RAW file, original or otherwise, you have access to all of the image data as captured.

Increase the tolerance to cover more areas. To subtract from your selection hold down alt as you're clicking.
* Layer masks are a better way of working than Erase they clip (black hides/hidden white visible/reveal). Clone Stamp can be simulated by and brushes for other areas.
* Leave the fine details like hair, fur, etc. to later with lasso and the shift key to draw a line all the way around your subject. Gradient Mapping - Inverse - Mask. i.e. Refine your selected image with edge detection and using the radius and edge options / adjuster (increase/decrease contrast) so that you will capture more fine detail from the background allowing easier removal.

Histograms
White balanced (neutral) if the spike happens in the same place in each channel of the RGB graphs. If not, you're not balanced.
If you have sky you'll see the blue channel further off to the right.
RGB is best one to change colours. These elements RGB is a 3-channel format containing data for Red, Green, and Blue in your photo scale between 0 and 255. The area in a picture that appears to be brighter/whiter contains more red color as compared to the area which is relatively darker. Similarly in the green channel the area that appears to be darker contains less amount of green color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Similarly in the blue channel the area appears to be darker contains less amount of blue color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Brightness luminance histogram also matches the green histogram more than any other color - human eye interprets green better e.g. RGB rough ratio 15/55/30%
RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel) . The alpha channel is used for "alpha compositing", which can mostly be associated as "opacity". AROS deals in RGB with two digits for every color (red, green, blue), in ARGB you have two additional hex digits for the alpha channel.
The shadows are represented by the left third of the graph. The highlights are represented by the right third. And the midtones are, of course, in the middle. The higher the black peaks in the graph, the more pixels are concentrated in that tonal range (total black area).
By moving the black endpoint, which identifies the shadows (darkness) and a white light endpoint (brightness) up and down either sides of the graph, colors are adjusted based on these points.
By dragging the central one, can increased the midtones and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative .
RGB Curves
* Move left endpoint (black point) up or right endpoint (white point) up brightens
* Move left endpoint down or right endpoint down darkens
Color Curves
* Dragging up on the Red Curve increases the intensity of the reds in the image but
* Dragging down on the Red Curve decreases the intensity of the reds and thus increases the apparent intensity of its complimentary color, cyan. Green’s complimentary color is magenta, and blue’s is yellow.
<pre>
Red <-> Cyan
Green <->Magenta
Blue <->Yellow
</pre>
YUV Best option to analyse and pull out statistical elements of any picture (i.e. separate luminance data from color data). The line in Y luma tone box represents the brightness of the image with the point in the bottom left been black, and the point in the top right as white. A low-contrast image has a concentrated clump of values nearer to the center of the graph. By comparison, a high-contrast image has a wider distribution of values across the entire width of the Histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right would indicate a picture that is a bit overexposed because most of the color data is on the lighter side (increase exposure with higher value F), while a histogram with the curve on the left shows a picture that is underexposed. This is good information to have when using post-processing software because it shows you not only where the color data exists for a given picture, but also where any data has been clipped (extremes on edges of either side): that is, it does not exist and, therefore, cannot be edited. By dragging the endpoints of the line and as well as the central one, can increased the dark/shadows, midtones and light/bright parts and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative .
The U and V chroma parts show color difference components of the image. It’s useful for checking whether or not the overall chroma is too high, and also whether it’s being limited too much
Can be used to create a negative image but also
With U (Cb), the higher value you are, the more you're on the blue primary color. If you go to the low values then you're on blue complementary color, i.e. yellow.
With V (Cr), this is the same principle but with Red and Cyan.
e.g. If you push U full blue and V full red, you get magenta. If you push U full yellow and V full Cyan then you get green.
YUV simultaneously adds to one side of the color equation while subtracting from the other.
using YUV to do color correction can be very problematic because each curve alters the result of each other: the mutual influence between U and V often makes things tricky. You may also be careful in what you do to avoid the raise of noise (which happens very easily). Best results are obtained with little adjustments
sunset that looks uninspiring and needs some color pop especially for the rays over the hill, a subtle contrast raise while setting luma values back to the legal range without hard clipping.

There is not much missing in Lunapaint to be as good as FlipBook and then you have to take into account that Flipbook is considered to be amongst the best and easiest to use animation software out there. Ok to be honest Flipbook has some nice features that require more heavy work but those aren't so much needed right away, things like camera effects, sound, smart fill, export to different movie file formats etc.
Tried Flipbook with my tablet and compared it to Luna. The feeling is the same when sketching. LunaPaint is very responsive/fluent to draw with. Just as Flipbook is, and that responsiveness is something its users have mentioned as one of the positive sides of said software.
author was learning MUI. Some parts just have to be rewritten with proper MUI classes before new features can be added.
* add [Frame Add] / [Frame Del]
* whole animation feature is impossible to use. If you draw 2 color maybe but if you start coloring your cells then you get in trouble
* pickup the entire image as a brush, not just a selection ? And consequently remove the brush from memory when one doesn't need it anymore. can pick up a brush and put it onto a new image but cropping isn't possible, nor to load/save brushes.
* Undo is something I longed for ages in Lunapaint.
* to import into the current layer, other types of images (e.g. JPEG) besides RAW64.
* implement graphic tablet features support
**GENERAL DRAWING**
Miss it very much:
UNDO
ERASER
COLORPICKER - has to show on palette too which color got picked.
BACKGROUND COLOR -Possibility to select from "New project screen"
Miss it somewhat:
ICON for UNDO
ICON for ERASER
ICON for CLEAR SCREEN ( What can I say? I start over from scratch very often )
BRUSH - possibility to cut out as brush not just copy off image to brush
**ANIMATING**
Miss it very much:
NUMBER OF CELLS - Possibity to change total no. of cells during project
ANIM BRUSH - Possibility to pick up a selected part of cells into an animbrush
Miss it somewhat:
ADD/REMOVE FRAMES: Add/remove single frame
In general LunaPaint is really well done and it feels like a new DeluxePaint version. It works with my tablet. Sure there's much missing of course but things can always be added over time. So there is great potential in LunaPaint that's for sure. Animations could be made in it and maybe put together in QuickVideo, saving in .gif or .mng etc some day.
LAYERS
-Layers names don't get saved globally in animation frames
-Layers order don't change globally in an animation (perhaps as default?).
EXPORTING IMAGES
-Exporting frames to JPG/PNG gives problems with colors. (wrong colors. See my animatiopn --> My robot was blue now it's "gold" ) I think this only happens if you have layers.
-Trying to flatten the layers before export doesn't work if you have animation frames only the one you have visible will flatten properly all other frames are destroyed. (Only one of the layers are visible on them)
-Exporting images filenames should be for example e.g. file0001, file0002...file0010 instead as of now file1, file2...file10
LOAD/SAVE (Preferences)
-Make a setting for the default "Work" folder.
* Destroyed colors if exported image/frame has layers
* mystic color cycling of the selected color while stepping frames back/forth (annoying)

# change the text alignment within the textbox. I can choose left, center, or right aligned by either changing the integer in the second column from 0 (left) to 1 or 2 (center, or right).
# The third integer in the row specifies fontcolor. For instance, 0 is black, but blue is 1 and Green3 is 13.
# The sixth integer in the bottom row specifies fontface. 0 is Times-Roman, but 16 is Helvetica (a MATLAB default).
# The seventh number is fontsize. 12 represents a 12pt fontsize. Changing the fontsize of an item really is as easy as changing that number to 20.
# The next number is the counter-clockwise angle of the text. Notice that I have changed the angle to .7854 (pi/4 rounded to four digits=45 degrees).
# twelfth number is the position according to the standard “x-axis” in Xfig units from the left. Note that 1200 Xfig units is equivalent to once inch.
# thirteenth number is the “y-position” from the top using the same unit convention as before.
* The nested text string is what you entered into the textbox.
* The “01″ present at the end of that line in the .fig file is the closing tag. For instance, a change to \100 appends a @ symbol at the end of the period of that sentence.

===Audio===
# AHI uses linear panning/balance, which means that in the center, you will get -6dB. If an app uses panning, this is what you will get. Note that apps like Audio Evolution need panning, so they will have this problem.
# When using AHI Hifi modes, mixing is done in 32-bit and sent as 32-bit data to the driver. The Envy24HT driver uses that to output at 24-bit (always).
# For the Envy24/Envy24HT, I've made 16-bit and 24-bit inputs (called Line-in 16-bit, Line-in 24-bit etc.). There is unfortunately no app that can handle 24-bit recording.
====Music Mods====
Digital module (mods) trackers are music creation software using samples and sometimes soundfonts, audio plugins (VST, AU or RTAS), MIDI.
Generally, MODs are similar to MIDI in that they contain note on/off and other sequence messages that control the mod player. Unlike (most) midi files, however, they also contain sound samples that the sequence information actually plays. MOD files can have many channels (classic amiga mods have 4, corresponding to the inbuilt sound channels), but unlike MIDI, each channel can typically play only one note at once. However, since that note might be a sample of a chord, a drumloop or other complex sound, this is not as limiting as it sounds.
Like MIDI, notes will play indefinitely if they're not instructed to end. Most trackers record this information automatically if you play your music in live. If you're using manual note entry, you can enter a note-off command with a keyboard shortcut - usually Caps Lock.
In fact when considering file size MOD is not always the best option. Even a dummy song wastes few kilobytes for nothing when a simple SID tune could be few hundreds bytes and not bigger than 64kB. AHX is another small format, AHX tunes are never larger than 64kB excluding comments.

*Sample
*Note - Effect
*Track (column) - Pattern - Order
It all starts with the Sample which is used to create Note(s) in a Track (column of a tracker)
The Note can be changed with an Effect. A Track of Note(s) can be collected into a Pattern (section of a song) and these can be given Order to create the whole song.
Patience (notes have to be entered one at a time) or playing the bassline on a midi controller (faster - see midi section above). Best approach is to wait until a melody popped into your head.
*Up-tempo means the track should be reasonably fast, but not super-fast.
*Groovy and funky imply the track should have some sort of "swing" feel, with plenty of syncopation or off beat emphasis and a recognizable, melodic bass line.
*Sweet and happy mean upbeat melodies, a major key and avoiding harsh sounds.
*Moody - minor key
First, create a quick bass sound, which is basically a sine wave, but can be hand drawn for a little more variance. It could also work for the melody part, too.
This is usually a bass guitar or some kind of synthesizer bass. The bass line is often forgotten by inexperienced composers, but it plays an important role in a musical piece. Together with the rhythm section the bass line forms the groove of a song. It's the glue between the rhythm section and the melodic layer of a song.
The drums are just pink noise samples, played at different frequencies to get a slightly different sound for the kick, snare, and hihats.
Instruments that fall into the rhythm category are bass drums, snares, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, congas, tambourines, shakers, etc. Any percussive instrument can be used to form part of the rhythm section.
The lead is the instrument that plays the main melody, on top of the chords. There are many instruments that can play a lead section, like a guitar, a piano, a saxophone or a flute. The list is almost endless. There is a lot of overlap with instruments that play chords. Often in one piece an instrument serves both roles. The lead melody is often played at a higher pitch than the chords.
Listened back to what was produced so far, and a counter-melody can be imagined, which can be added with a triangle wave.
To give the ends of phrases some life, you can add a solo part with a crunchy synth. By hitting random notes in the key of G, then edited a few of them.
For the climax of the song, filled out the texture with a gentle high-pitch pad… …and a grungy bass synth.
The arrow at A points at the pattern order list. As you see, the patterns don't have to be in numerical order. This song starts with pattern "00", then pattern "02", then "03", then "01", etcetera. Patterns may be repeated throughout a song.
The B arrow points at the song title. Below it are the global BPM and speed parameters. These determine the tempo of the song, unless the tempo is altered through effect commands during the song.
The C arrow points at the list of instruments. An instrument may consist of multiple samples. Which sample will be played depends on the note. This can be set in the Instrument Editing screen. Most instruments will consist of just one sample, though. The sample list for the selected instrument can be found under arrow D.
Here's a part of the main editing screen. This is where you put in actual notes. Up to 32 channels can be used, meaning 32 sounds can play simultaneously. The first six channels of pattern "03" at order "02" are shown here. The arrow at A points at the row number. The B arrow points at the note to play, in this case a C4. The column pointed at by the C arrow tells us which instrument is associated with that note, in this case instrument #1 "Kick".
The column at D is used (mainly) for volume commands. In this case it is left empty which means the instrument should play at its default volume. You can see the volume column being used in channel #6.
The E column tells us which effect to use and any parameters for that effect. In this case it holds the "F" effect, which is a tempo command. The "04" means it should play at tempo 4 (a smaller number means faster).
Base pattern
When I create a new track I start with what I call the base pattern. It is worthwhile to spend some time polishing it as a lot of the ideas in the base pattern will be copied and used in other patterns. At least, that's how I work. Every musician will have his own way of working. In "Wild Bunnies" the base pattern is pattern "03" at order "02".
In the section about selecting samples I talked about the four different categories of instruments: drums, bass, chords and leads. That's also how I usually go about making the base pattern. I start by making a drum pattern, then add a bass line, place some chords and top it off with a lead. This forms the base pattern from which the rest of the song will grow.
Drums
Here's a screenshot of the first four rows of the base pattern. I usually reserve the first four channels or so for the drum instruments. Right away there are a couple of tricks shown here. In the first channel the kick, or bass drum, plays some notes. Note the alternating F04 and F02 commands. The "F" command alters the tempo of the song and by quickly alternating the tempo; the song will get some kind of "swing" feel.
In the second channel the closed hi-hat plays a fairly simple pattern. Further down in the channel, not shown here, some open hi-hat notes are added for a bit of variation.
In the third and fourth channel the snare sample plays. The "8" command is for panning. One note is panned hard to the left and the other hard to the right. One sample is played a semitone lower than the other. This results in a cool flanging effect. It makes the snare stand out a little more in the mix.
Bass line
There are two different instruments used for the bass line. Instrument #6 is a pretty standard synthesized bass sound. Instrument #A sounds a bit like a slap bass when used with a quick fade out. By using two different instruments the bass line sounds a bit more ”human”. The volume command is used to cut off the notes. However, it is never set to zero. Setting the volume to a very small value will result in a reverb-like effect. This makes the song sound more "live".
The bass line hints at the chords that will be played and the key the song will be in. In this case the key of the song is D-major, a positive and happy key.
Chords
The D major chords that are being played here are chords stabs; short sounds with a quick decay (fade out). Two different instruments (#8 and #9) are used to form the chords. These instruments are quite similar, but have a slightly different sound, panning and volume decay. Again, the reason for this is to make the sound more human. The volume command is used on some chords to simulate a delay, to achieve more of a live feel. The chords are placed off-beat making for a funky rhythm.
Lead
Finally the lead melody is added. The other instruments are invaluable in holding the track together, but the lead melody is usually what catches people's attention.
A lot of notes and commands are used here, but it looks more complex than it is. A stepwise ascending melody plays in channel 13. Channel 14 and 15 copy this melody, but play it a few rows later at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect. A bit of panning is used on the notes to create some stereo depth. Like with the bass line, instead of cutting off notes the volume is set to low values for a reverb effect. The "461" effect adds a little vibrato to the note, which sounds nice on sustained notes.
Those paying close attention may notice the instrument used here for the lead melody is the same as the one used for the bass line (#6 "Square"), except played two or three octaves higher. This instrument is a looped square wave sample. Each type of wave has its own quirks, but the square wave (shown below) is a really versatile wave form.
Song structure
Good, catchy songs are often carefully structured into sections, some of which are repeated throughout the song with small variations.
A typical pop-song structure is: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus.
Other single sectional song structures are
<pre>
Strophic or AAA Song Form - oldest story telling with refrain (often title of the song) repeated in every verse section melody
AABA Song Form - early popular, jazz and gospel fading during the 1960s
AB or Verse/Chorus Song Form - songwriting format of choice for modern popular music since the 1960s
Verse/Chorus/Bridge Song Form
ABAB Song Form
ABAC Song Form
ABCD Song Form
AAB 12-Bar Song Form - three four-bar lines or sub-sections
8-Bar Song Form
16-Bar Song Form
Hybrid / Compound Song Forms
</pre>
The most common building blocks are:
#INTRODUCTION(INTRO)
#VERSE
#REFRAIN
#PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB
#CHORUS
#BRIDGE
#MIDDLE EIGHT
#SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
#COLLISION
#CODA / OUTRO
#AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO)
The chorus usually has more energy than the verse and often has a memorable melody line. As the chorus is repeated the most often during the song, it will be the part that people will remember.
The bridge often marks a change of direction in the song. It is not uncommon to change keys in the bridge, or at least to use a different chord sequence. The bridge is used to build up tension towards the big finale, the last repetition of chorus.

The Set Volume command: C. Input a note, then move the cursor to the effects command column and type a C. Play the pattern, and you shouldn't be able to hear the note you placed the C by. This is because the effect parameters are 00. Change the two zeros to a 40(Hex)/64(Dec), depending on what your tracker uses. Play back the pattern again, and the note should come in at full volume.
The Position Jump command next. This is just a B followed by the position in the playing list that you want to jump to. One thing to remember is that the playing list always starts at 0, not 1. This command is usually in Hex.
Onto the volume slide command: A. This is slightly more complex (much more if you're using a newer tracker, if you want to achieve the results here, then set slides to Amiga, not linear), due to the fact it depends on the secondary tempo. For now set a secondary tempo of 06 (you can play around later), load a long or looped sample and input a note or two. A few rows after a note type in the effect command A. For the parameters use 0F. Play back the pattern, and you should notice that when the effect kicks in, the sample drops to a very low volume very quickly. Change the effect parameters to F0, and use a low volume command on the note. Play back the pattern, and when the slide kicks in the volume of the note should increase very quickly.
This because each part of the effect parameters for command A does a different thing. The first number slides the volume up, and the second slides it down. It's not recommended that you use both a volume up and volume down at the same time, due to the fact the tracker only looks for the first number that isn't set to 0. If you specify parameters of 8F, the tracker will see the 8, ignore the F, and slide the volume up. Using a slide up and down at same time just makes you look stupid. Don't do it...
The Set Tempo command: F, is pretty easy to understand. You simply specify the BPM (in Hex) that you want to change to. One important thing to note is that values of lower than 20 (Hex) sets the secondary tempo rather than the primary.
Another useful command is the Pattern Break: D. This will stop the playing of the current pattern and skip to the next one in the playing list. By using parameters of more than 00 you can also specify which line to begin playing from.
Command 3 is Portamento to Note. This slides the currently playing note to another note, at a specified speed. The slide then stops when it reaches the desired note.
<pre>
C-2 1 000 - Starts the note playing
--- 000
C-3 330 - Starts the slide to C-3 at a speed of 30.
--- 300 - Continues the slide
--- 300 - Continues the slide
</pre>
Once the parameters have been set, the command can be input again without any parameters, and it'll still perform the same function unless you change the parameters. This memory function allows certain commands to function correctly, such as command 5, which is the Portamento to Note and Volume Slide command. Once command 3 has been set up command 5 will simply take the parameters from that and perform a Portamento to Note. Any parameters set up for command 5 itself simply perform a Volume Slide identical to command A at the same time as the Portamento to Note.
This memory function will only operate in the same channel where the original parameters were set up.
There are various other commands which perform two functions at once. They will be described as we come across them.
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 00
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 02
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 05
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 08
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0A
C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0D
C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 10
(You can also switch on the Slider Rec to On, and perform parameter-live-recording, such as cutoff transitions, resonance or panning tweaking, etc..) Note: this command only works for volume/panning and fx datas columns.
The next command we'll look at is the Portamento up/down: 1 and 2. Command 1 slides the pitch up at a specified speed, and 2 slides it down. This command works in a similar way to the volume slide, in that it is dependent on the secondary tempo. Both these commands have a memory dependent on each other, if you set the slide to a speed of 3 with the 1 command, a 2 command with no parameters will use the speed of 3 from the 1 command, and vice versa.
Command 4 is Vibrato. Vibrato is basically rapid changes in pitch, just try it, and you'll see what I mean. Parameters are in the format of xy, where x is the speed of the slide, and y is the depth of the slide. One important point to remember is to keep your vibratos subtle and natural so a depth of 3 or less and a reasonably fast speed, around 8, is usually used. Setting the depth too high can make the part sound out of tune from the rest.
Following on from command 4 is command 6. This is the Vibrato and Volume Slide command, and it has a memory like command 5, which you already know how to use.
Command 7 is Tremolo. This is similar to vibrato. Rather than changing the pitch it slides the volume. The effect parameters are in exactly the same format. vibrato effect (0x1dxy) x = speed y = depth (can't be used if arpeggio (0x1b) is turned on)
<pre>
C-7 00 .. .. 1B37 <- Turn Arpeggio effect on
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 1B38 <- Change datas
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 0000
--- .. .. .. 1B00 <- Turn it off
</pre>
Command 9 is Sample Offset. This starts the playback of the sample from a different place than the start. The effect parameters specify the sample offset, but only very roughly. Say you have a sample which is 8765(Hex) bytes long, and you wanted it to play from position 4321(Hex). The effect parameter could only be as accurate as the 43 part, and it would ignore the 21.
Command B is the Playing List/Order Jump command. The parameters specify the position in the Playing List/Order to jump to. When used in conjunction with command D you can specify the position and the line to play from.
Command E is pretty complex, as it is used for a lot of different things, depending on what the first parameter is. Let's take a trip through each effect in order.
Command E0 controls the hardware filter on an Amiga, which, as a low pass filter, cuts off the highest frequencies being played back. There are very few players and trackers on other system that simulate this function, not that you should need to use it. The second parameter, if set to 1, turns on the filter. If set to 0, the filter gets turned off.
Commands E1/E2 are Fine Portamento Up/Down. Exactly the same functions as commands 1/2, except that they only slide the pitch by a very small amount. These commands have a memory the same as 1/2 as well.
Command E3 sets the Glissando control. If parameters are set to 1 then when using command 3, any sliding will only use the notes in between the original note and the note being slid to. This produces a somewhat jumpier slide than usual. The best way to understand is to try it out for yourself. Produce a slow slide with command 3, listen to it, and then try using E31.
Command E4 is the Set Vibrato Waveform control. This command controls how the vibrato command slides the pitch. Parameters are 0 - Sine, 1 - Ramp Down (Saw), 2 - Square. By adding 4 to the parameters, the waveform will not be restarted when a new note is played e.g. 5 - Sine without restart.
Command E5 sets the Fine Tune of the instrument being played, but only for the particular note being played. It will override the default Fine Tune for the instrument. The parameters range from 0 to F, with 0 being -8 and F being +8 Fine Tune. A parameter of 8 gives no Fine Tune. If you're using a newer tracker that supports more than -8 to +8 e.g. -128 to +128, these parameters will give a rough Fine Tune, accurate to the nearest 16.
Command E6 is the Jump Loop command. You mark the beginning of the part of a pattern that you want to loop with E60, and then specify with E6x the end of the loop, where x is the number of times you want it to loop.
Command E7 is the Set Tremolo Waveform control. This has exactly the same parameters as command E4, except that it works for Tremolo rather than Vibrato.
Command E9 is for Retriggering the note quickly. The parameter specifies the interval between the retrigs. Use a value of less than the current secondary tempo, or else the note will not get retrigged.
Command EA/B are for Fine Volume Slide Up/Down. Much the same as the normal Volume Slides, except that these are easier to control since they don't depend on the secondary tempo. The parameters specify the amount to slide by e.g. if you have a sample playing at a volume of 08 (Hex) then the effect EA1 will slide this volume to 09 (Hex). A subsequent effect of EB4 would slide this volume down to 05 (Hex).
Command EC is the Note Cut. This sets the volume of the currently playing note to 0 at a specified tick. The parameters should be lower than the secondary tempo or else the effect won't work.
Command ED is the Note Delay. This should be used at the same time as a note is to be played, and the parameters will specify the number of ticks to delay playing the note. Again, keep the parameters lower than the secondary tempo, or the note won't get played!
Command EE is the Pattern Delay. This delays the pattern for the amount of time it would take to play a certain number of rows. The parameters specify how many rows to delay for.
Command EF is the Funk Repeat command. Set the sample loop to 0-1000. When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000- 2000, then to 2000-3000 etc. After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0- 1000. The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x. E is two times as slow as F, D is three times as slow as F etc. EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset the loop (to 0-1000).
effects 0x41 and 0x42 to control the volumes of the 2 303 units
There is a dedicated panel for synth parameter editing with coherent sections (osc, filter modulation, routing, so on) the interface is much nicer, much better to navigate with customizable colors, the reverb is now customizable (10 delay lines), It accepts newer types of Waves (higher bit rates, at least 24). Has a replay routine.
It's pretty much your basic VA synth. The problem isn't with the sampler being to high it's the synth is tuned two octaves too low, but if you want your samples tuned down just set the base note down 2 octaves (in the instrument panel).
so the synth is basically divided into 3 sections from left to right: oscillators/envelopes, then filter and LFO's, and in the right column you have mod routings and global settings.
for the oscillator section you have two normal oscillators (sine, saw, square, noise), the second of which is tunable, the first one tunes with the key pressed. Attached to OSC 1 is a sub-oscillator, which is a sawtooth wave tuned one octave down. The phase modulation controls the point in the duty cycle at which the oscillator starts. The ADSR envelope sliders (grouped with oscs) are for modulation envelope 1 and 2 respectively. you can use the synth as a sampler by choosing the instrument at the top.
In the filter column, the filter settings are: 1 = lowpass, 2 = highpass, 3 = off. cutoff and resonance. For the LFOs they are LFO 1 and LFO 2, the ADSR sliders in those are for the LFO itself.
For the modulation routings you have ENV 1, LFO 1 for the first slider and ENV 2, LFO 2 for the second, you can cycle through the individual routings there, and you can route each modulation source to multiple destinations of course, which is another big plus for this synth. Finally the glide time is for portamento and master volume, well, the master volume... it can go quite loud.
The sequencer is changed too, It's more like the one in AXS if you've used that, where you can mute tracks to re-use patterns with variation.

Bars and Pipes Pro 2.5 is using internal 4-Byte IDs, to check which kind of data are currently processed.
Especially in all its files the IDs play an important role. The IDs are stored into the file in the same order they are laid out in the memory.
In a Bars 'N' Pipes file (no matter which kind) the ID "NAME" (saved as its ANSI-values) is stored on a big endian system (68k-computer) as "NAME". On a little endian system (x86 PC computer) as "EMAN". The target is to make the AROS-BnP compatible to songs, which were stored on a 68k computer (AMIGA).
If possible, setting MIDI channels for Local Control for your keyboard

MIDI files are essentially a stream of event data. An event can be many things, but typically "note on", "note off", "program change", "controller change", or messages that instruct a MIDI compatible synth how to play a given bit of music.
* Channel - 1 to 16 -
* Messages - PC presets, CC effects like delays, reverbs, etc
* Sequencing - MIDI instruments, Drums, Sound design,
* Recording -
* GUI - Piano roll or Tracker, Staves and Notes
MIDI events/messages like step entry e.g. Note On, Note Off
MIDI events/messages like PB, PC, CC, Mono and Poly After-Touch, Sysex, etc
MIDI sync - Midi Clocks (SPS Measures), Midi Time Code (h, m, s and frames) SMPTE
Individual track editing with audition edits so easier to test any changes. Possible to stop track playback, mix clips from the right edit flag and scroll the display using arrow keys.

Ability to cancel mouse‑driven edits by simply clicking the right mouse button — at which point everything snaps back into its original form. Lyrics can now be put in with syllable dividers, even across an entire measure or section. Autoranging when you open a edit window, the notes are automatically displayed — working from the lowest upwards.

* SMF1 The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks/channels.
* SMF2 (rarely used) The MIDI data is stored in separate tracks, which are additionally wrapped in containers, so it's possible to have e.g. several tracks using the same MIDI channels.
Would it be possible to enrich Bars N’Pipes with software synth and sample support along with audio recording and mastering tools like in the named MAC or PC music sequencers?
On the classic AMIGA-OS this is not possible because of missing CPU-power. The hardware of the classic AMIGA is not further developed. So we must say (unfortunately) that those dreams can’t become reality
BarsnPipes is best used with external MIDI-equipment. This can be a keyboard or synthesizer with MIDI-connectors.

Protrekkr
How to use Midi In/Out in Protrekkr ?
First of all, midi in & out capabilities of this program are rather limited.
# Go to Misc. Setup section and select a midi in or out device to use (ptk only supports one device at a time).
# Go to instrument section, and select a MIDI PRG (the default is N/A, which means no midi program selected).
# Go to track section and here you can assign a midi channel to each track of ptk.
# Play notes :]. Note off works. F'x' note cut command also works too, and note-volume command (speed) is supported.
Also, you can change midicontrollers in the tracker, using '90' in the panning row:
<pre>
C-3 02 .. .. 0000....
--- .. .. 90 xxyy.... << This will set the value
--- .. .. .. 0000.... of the controller n.'xx' to 'yy' (both in hex)
--- .. .. .. 0000....
</pre>
So "--- .. .. 90 2040...." will set the controller number $20(32) to $40(64).
You will need the midi implementation table of your gear to know what you can change with midi controller messages.
N.B. Not all MIDI devices are created equal!
Although the MIDI specification defines a large range of MIDI messages of various kinds, not every MIDI device is required to work in exactly the same way and respond to all the available messages and ways of working. For example, we don't expect a wind synthesiser to work in the same way as a home keyboard.
Some devices, the older ones perhaps, are only able to respond to a single channel. With some of those devices that channel can be altered from the default of 1 (probably) to another channel of the 16 possible.
Other devices, for instance monophonic synthesisers, are capable of producing just one note at a time, on one MIDI channel. Others can produce many notes spread across many channels.
Further devices can respond to, and transmit, "breath controller" data (MIDI controller number 2 (CC#2)) others may respond to the reception of CC#2 but not be able to create and to send it.
A controller keyboard may be capable of sending "expression pedal" data, but another device may not be capable of responding to that message.
Some devices just have the basic GM sound set. The "voice" or "instrument" is selected using a "Program Change" message on its own.
Other devices have a greater selection of voices, usually arranged in "banks", and the choice of instrument is made by responding to "Bank Select MSB" (MIDI controller 0 (CC#0)), others use "Bank Select LSB" (MIDI controller number 32 (CC#32)), yet others use both MSB and LSB sent one after the other, all followed by the Program Change message. The detailed information about all the different voices will usually be available in a published MIDI Data List.
MIDI Implementation Chart
But in the User Manual there is sometimes a summary of how the device works, in terms of MIDI, in the chart at the back of the manual, the MIDI Implementation Chart.
If you require two devices to work together you can compare the two implementation charts to see if they are "compatible". In order to do this we will need to interpret that chart.
The chart is divided into four columns headed "Function", "Transmitted" (or "Tx"), "Received" (or "Rx"), or more correctly "Recognised", and finally, "Remarks".
<pre>
The left hand column defines which MIDI functions are being described.
The 2nd column defines what the device in question is capable of transmitting to another device.
The 3rd column defines what the device is capable of responding to.
The 4th column is for explanations of the values contained within these previous two columns.
</pre>
There should then be twelve sections, with possibly a thirteenth containing extra "Notes". Finally there should be an explanation of the four MIDI "modes" and what the "X" and the "O" mean.
<pre>
Mode 1: Omni On, Poly;
Mode 2: Omni On, Mono;
Mode 3: Omni Off, Poly;
Mode 4: Omni Off, Mono.
</pre>
O means "yes" (implemented), X means "no" (not implemented).
Sometimes you will find a row of asterisks "**************", these seem to indicate that the data is not applicable in this case. Seen in the transmitted field only (unless you've seen otherwise).
Lastly you may find against some entries an asterisk followed by a number e.g. *1, these will refer you to further information, often on a following page, giving more detail.
Basic Channel
But the very first set of boxes will tell us the "Basic Channel(s)" that the device sends or receives on.
"Default" is what happens when the device is first turned on, "changed" is what a switch of some kind may allow the device to be set to.
For many devices e.g. a GM sound module or a home keyboard, this would be 1-16 for both. That is it can handle sending and receiving on all MIDI channels.
On other devices, for example a synthesiser, it may by default only work on channel 1. But the keyboard could be "split" with the lower notes e.g. on channel 2. If the synth has an arppegiator, this may be able to be set to transmit and or receive on yet another channel.
So we might see the default as "1" but the changed as "1-16".
Modes.
We need to understand Omni On and Off, and Mono and Poly, then we can decipher the four modes.
But first we need to understand that any of these four Mode messages can be sent to any MIDI channel. They don't necessarily apply to the whole device.
If we send an "Omni On" message (CC#125) to a MIDI channel of a device, we are, in effect, asking it to respond to e.g. a Note On / Off message pair, received on any of the sixteen channels. Sound strange? Read it again. Still strange? It certainly is. We normally want a MIDI channel to respond only to Note On / Off messages sent on that channel, not any other. In other words, "Omni Off".
So "Omni Off" (CC#124) tells a channel of our MIDI device to respond only to messages sent on that MIDI channel.
"Poly" (CC#127) is for e.g. a channel of a polyphonic sound module, or a home keyboard, to be able to respond to many simultaneous Note On / Off message pairs at once and produce musical chords.
"Mono" (CC#126) allows us to set a channel to respond as if it were e.g. a flute or a trumpet, playing just one note at a time. If the device is capable of it, then the overlapping of notes will produce legato playing, that is the attack portion of the second note of two overlapping notes will be removed resulting in a "smoother" transition.
So a channel with a piano voice assigned to it will have Omni Off, Poly On (Mode 3), a channel with a saxophone voice assigned could be Omni Off, Mono On (Mode 4).
We call these combinations the four modes, 1 to 4, as defined above.
Most modern devices will have their channels set to Mode 3 (Omni Off, Poly) but be switchable, on a per channel basis, to Mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono).
This second section of data will include first its default value i.e. upon device switch on. Then what Mode messages are acceptable, or X if none.
Finally, in the "Altered" field, how a Mode message that can't be implemented will be interpreted. Usually there will just be a row of asterisks effectively meaning nothing will be done if you try to switch to an unimplemented mode.
Note Number
<pre>
The next row will tell us which MIDI notes the device can send or receive, normally 0-127.
The second line, "True Voice" has the following in the MIDI specification:
"Range of received note numbers falling within the range of true notes produced by the instrument."
My interpretation is that, for instance, a MIDI piano may be capable of sending all MIDI notes (0 to 127) by transposition, but only responding to the 88 notes (21 to 108) of a real piano.
</pre>
Velocity
This will tell us whether the device we're looking at will handle note velocity, and what range from 1-127, or maybe just 64, it transmits or will recognise. So usually "O" plus a range or "X" for not implemented.
After touch
This may have one or two lines two it.
If a one liner the either "O" or "X", yes or no.
If a two liner then it may include "Keys" or "Poly" and "Channel".
This will show whether the device will respond to Polyphonic after touch or channel after touch or neither.
Pitch Bend
Again "O" for implemented, "X" for not implemented.
(Many stage pianos will have no pitch bend capability.)
It may also, in the notes section, state whether it will respond to the full 14 bits, or not, as usually encoded by the pitch bend wheel.
Control Change
This is likely to be the largest section of the chart.
It will list all those controllers, starting from CC#0, Bank Select MSB, which the device is capable of sending, and those that it will respond to using "O" or "X" respectively.
You will, almost certainly, get some further explanation of functionality in the remarks column, or in more detail elsewhere in the documentation.
Of course you will need to know what all the various controller numbers do. Lots of the official technical specifications can be found at the [www.midi.org/techspecs/ MMA], with the table of messages and control change [www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php message numbers]
Program Change
Again "O" or "X" in the Transmitted or Recognised column to indicate whether or not the feature is implemented. In addition a range of numbers is shown, typically 0-127, to show what is available.
True # (number): "The range of the program change numbers which correspond to the actual number of patches selected."
System Exclusive
Used to indicate whether or not the device can send or recognise System Exclusive messages. A short description is often given in the Remarks field followed by a detailed explanation elsewhere in the documentation.
System Common - These include the following:
<pre>
MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (device synchronisation).
Song Position Pointer
Song Select
Tune Request
</pre>
The section will indicate whether or not the device can send or respond to any of these messages.
System Real Time
These include the following:
<pre>
Timing Clock - often just written as "Clock"
Start
Stop
Continue
</pre>
These three are usually just referred to as "Commands" and listed.
Again the section will indicate which, if any, of these messages the device can send or respond to.
<pre>
Aux. Messages
Again "O" or "X" for implemented or not.
Aux. = Auxiliary.
Active Sense = Active Sensing.
</pre>
Often with an explanation of the action of the device.
Notes
The "Notes" section can contain any additional comments to clarify the particular implementation.
Some of the explanations have been drawn directly from the MMA MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification.
And the detailed explanation of some of the functions will be found there, or in the General MIDI System Level 1 or General MIDI System Level 2 documents also published by the MMA.

SUMMARY OF MIDI MESSAGES
Table 1 - Summary of MIDI Messages
The following table lists the major MIDI messages in numerical (binary) order (adapted from "MIDI by the Numbers" by D. Valenti, Electronic Musician 2/88, and updated by the MIDI Manufacturers Association.). This table is intended as an overview of MIDI, and is by no means complete.
WARNING! Details about implementing these messages can dramatically impact compatibility with other products. We strongly recommend consulting the official MIDI Specifications for additional information.

This the same code as the Control Change (above), but implements Mode control and special message by using reserved controller numbers 120-127. The commands are:
*All Sound Off. When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon as possible c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off
*Reset All Controllers. When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller values are reset to their default values. (See specific Recommended Practices for defaults) c = 121, v = x: Value must only be zero unless otherwise allowed in a specific Recommended Practice.
*Local Control. When Local Control is Off, all devices on a given channel will respond only to data received over MIDI. Played data, etc. will be ignored. Local Control On restores the functions of the normal controllers.
c = 122, v = 0: Local Control Off
c = 122, v = 127: Local Control On
* All Notes Off. When an All Notes Off is received, all oscillators will turn off.
c = 123, v = 0: All Notes Off (See text for description of actual mode commands.)
c = 124, v = 0: Omni Mode Off
c = 125, v = 0: Omni Mode On
c = 126, v = M: Mono Mode On (Poly Off) where M is the number of channels (Omni Off) or 0 (Omni On)
c = 127, v = 0: Poly Mode On (Mono Off) (Note: These four messages also cause All Notes Off)

System Common Messages
System Messages (0xF0)
The final status nybble is a “catch all” for data that doesn’t fit the other statuses. They all use the most significant nybble (4bits) of 0xF, with the least significant nybble indicating the specific category.
The messages are denoted when the MSB of the second nybble is 1. When that bit is a 0, the messages fall into two other subcategories.
System Common
If the MSB of the second second nybble (4 bits) is not set, this indicates a System Common message. Most of these are messages that include some additional data bytes.
System Common Messages
Type Status Byte Number of Data Bytes Usage
<pre>
Time Code Quarter Frame 0xF1 1 Indicates timing using absolute time code, primarily for synthronization with video playback systems. A single location requires eight messages to send the location in an encoded hours:minutes:seconds:frames format*.
Song Position 0xF2 2 Instructs a sequencer to jump to a new position in the song. The data bytes form a 14-bit value that expresses the location as the number of sixteenth notes from the start of the song.
Song Select 0xF3 1 Instructs a sequencer to select a new song. The data byte indicates the song.
Undefined 0xF4 0
Undefined 0xF5 0
Tune Request 0xF6 0 Requests that the receiver retunes itself**.
</pre>
*MIDI Time Code (MTC) is significantly complex. Please see the MIDI Specification
**While modern digital instruments are good at staying in tune, older analog synthesizers were prone to tuning drift. Some analog synthesizers had an automatic tuning operation that could be initiated with this command.
System Exclusive
If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll notice there are two status bytes not yet defined: 0xf0 and 0xf7. These are used by the System Exclusive message, often abbreviated at SysEx. SysEx provides a path to send arbitrary data over a MIDI connection. There is a group of predefined messages for complex data, like fine grained control of MIDI Time code machinery. SysEx is also used to send manufacturer defined data, such as patches, or even firmware updates.
System Exclusive messages are longer than other MIDI messages, and can be any length. The messages are of the following format:
0xF0, 0xID, 0xdd, ...... 0xF7
The message is bookended with distinct bytes.
It opens with the Start Of Exclusive (SOX) data byte, 0xF0.
The next one to three bytes after the start are an identifier.
Values from 0x01 to 0x7C are one-byte vendor IDs, assigned to manufacturers who were involved with MIDI at the beginning.
If the ID is 0x00, it’s a three-byte vendor ID - the next two bytes of the message are the value.
<pre>
ID 0x7D is a placeholder for non-commercial entities.
ID 0x7E indicates a predefined Non-realtime SysEx message.
ID 0x7F indicates a predefined Realtime SysEx message.
</pre>
After the ID is the data payload, sent as a stream of bytes.
The transfer concludes with the End of Exclusive (EOX) byte, 0xF7.
The payload data must follow the guidelines for MIDI data bytes – the MSB must not be set, so only 7 bits per byte are actually usable. If the MSB is set, it falls into three possible scenarios.
An End of Exclusive byte marks the ordinary termination of the SysEx transfer.
System Real Time messages may occur within the transfer without interrupting it. The recipient should handle them independently of the SysEx transfer.
Other status bytes implicitly terminate the SysEx transfer and signal the start of new messages.
Some inexpensive USB-to-MIDI interfaces aren’t capable of handling messages longer than four bytes.

Advanced Messages
Polyphonic Pressure (0xA0) and Channel Pressure (0xD0)
Some MIDI controllers include a feature known as Aftertouch. While a key is being held down, the player can press harder on the key. The controller measures this, and converts it into MIDI messages.
Aftertouch comes in two flavors, with two different status messages.
The first flavor is polyphonic aftertouch, where every key on the controller is capable of sending its own independent pressure information. The messages are of the following format:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xkk, 0xpp
n is the status (0xA)
c is the channel nybble
kk is the key number (0 to 127)
pp is the pressure value (0 to 127)
</pre>
Polyphonic aftertouch is an uncommon feature, usually found on premium quality instruments, because every key requires a separate pressure sensor, plus the circuitry to read them all.
Much more commonly found is channel aftertouch. Instead of needing a discrete sensor per key, it uses a single, larger sensor to measure pressure on all of the keys as a group. The messages omit the key number, leaving a two-byte format
<pre>
0xnc, 0xpp
n is the status (0xD)
c is the channel number
pp is the pressure value (0 to 127)
</pre>
Pitch Bend (0xE0)
Many keyboards have a wheel or lever towards the left of the keys for pitch bend control. This control is usually spring-loaded, so it snaps back to the center of its range when released. This allows for both upward and downward bends.
Pitch Bend Wheel
The wheel sends pitch bend messages, of the format
<pre>
0xnc, 0xLL, 0xMM
n is the status (0xE)
c is the channel number
LL is the 7 least-significant bits of the value
MM is the 7 most-significant bits of the value
</pre>
You’ll notice that the bender data is actually 14 bits long, transmitted as two 7-bit data bytes. This means that the recipient needs to reassemble those bytes using binary manipulation. 14 bits results in an overall range of 214, or 0 to 16,383. Because it defaults to the center of the range, the default value for the bender is halfway through that range, at 8192 (0x2000).
Control Change (0xB0)
In addition to pitch bend, MIDI has provisions for a wider range of expressive controls, sometimes known as continuous controllers, often abbreviated CC. These are transmitted by the remaining knobs and sliders on the keyboard controller shown below.
Continuous Controllers
These controls send the following message format:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xcc, 0xvv
n is the status (0xB)
c is the MIDI channel
cc is the controller number (0-127)
vv is the controller value (0-127)
</pre>
Typically, the wheel next to the bender sends controller number one, assigned to modulation (or vibrato) depth. It is implemented by most instruments.
The remaining controller number assignments are another point of confusion. The MIDI specification was revised in version 2.0 to assign uses for many of the controllers. However, this implementation is not universal, and there are ranges of unassigned controllers.
On many modern MIDI devices, the controllers are assignable. On the controller keyboard shown in the photos, the various controls can be configured to transmit different controller numbers. Controller numbers can be mapped to particular parameters. Virtual synthesizers frequently allow the user to assign CCs to the on-screen controls. This is very flexible, but it might require configuration on both ends of the link and completely bypasses the assignments in the standard.
Program Change (0xC0)
Most synthesizers have patch storage memory, and can be told to change patches using the following command:
<pre>
0xnc, 0xpp
n is the status (0xc)
c is the channel
pp is the patch number (0-127)
</pre>
This allows for 128 sounds to be selected, but modern instruments contain many more than 128 patches. Controller #0 is used as an additional layer of addressing, interpreted as a “bank select” command. Selecting a sound on such an instrument might involve two messages: a bank select controller message, then a program change.
Audio & Midi are not synchronized, what I can do ?
Buy a commercial software package but there is a nasty trick to synchronize both. It's a bit hardcore but works for me:
Simply put one line down to all midi notes on your pattern (use Insert key)
and go to 'Misc. Setup', adjust the latency and just search a value
that will make sound sync both audio/midi.
The stock Sin/Saw/Pulse and Rnd waveforms are too simple/common, is there a way to use something more complex/rich ?
You have to ability to redirect the waveforms of the instruments through the synth pipe by selecting the "wav" option for the oscillator you're using for this synth instrument, samples can be used as wavetables to replace the stock signals.
Sound banks like soundfont (sf2) or Kontakt2 are not supported at the moment
====DAW Audio Evolution 4====
Audio Evolution 4 gives you unsurpassed power for digital audio recording and editing on the Amiga. The latest release focusses on time-saving non-linear and non-destructive editing, as seen on other platforms. Besides editing, Audio Evolution 4 offers a wide range of realtime effects, including compression, noise gate, delays, reverb, chorus and 3-band EQ.
Whether you put them as inserts on a channel or use them as auxillaries, the effect parameters are realtime adjustable and can be fully automated. Together with all other mixing parameters, they can even be controlled remotely, using more ergonomic MIDI hardware.
Non-linear editing on the time line, including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions
The number of tracks per project(s) is unlimited .... AHI limits you to recording only two at a time. i.e. not on 8 track sound cards like the Juli@ or Phase 88.
sample file import is limited to 16bit AIFF (not AIFC, important distinction as some files from other sources can be AIFC with aiff file extension). and 16bit WAV (pcm only)
Most apps use the Music Unit only but a few apps also use Unit (0-3) instead or as well.
* Set up AHI prefs so that microphone is available. (Input option near the bottom)
stereo++ allows the audio piece to be placed anywhere and the left-right adjusted to sound positionally right
hifi best for music playback if driver supports this option
Load 16bit .aif .aiff only sample(s) to use not AIFC which can have the same ending. AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format

sox recital.wav −b 16 recital.aiff channels 1 rate 16k fade 3 norm
sox input.wav output.aiff bass −b 16 rate 48k
performs the same format translation, but also applies four effects (down-mix to one channel, sample rate change, fade-in, nomalize), and stores the result at a bit-depth of 16.

24bit PCM WAV or AIFF do not work
*No stream format handling. So no way to pass on an AC3 encoded stream unmodified to the digital outputs through AHI.
*No master volume handling. Each application has to set its own volume. So each driver implements its own custom driver-mixer interface for handling master volumes, mute and preamps.
*Only one output stream. So all input gets mixed into one output.
*No automatic handling of output direction based on connected cables.
*No monitor input selection. Only monitor volume control.
select the correct input (Don't mistake enabled sound for the correct input.)
The monitor will feedback audio to the lineout and hp out no matter if you have selected the correct input to the ADC. The monitor will provide sound for any valid input. This will result in free mixing when recording from the monitor input instead of mic/line because the monitor itself will provide the hardware mixing for you. Be aware that MIC inputs will give two channel mono. Only Linein will give real stereo.
Now for the not working part. Attempt to record from linein in the AE4 record window, the right channel is noise and the left channel is distorted. Even with the recommended HIFI 16bit Stereo++ mode at 48kHz.

F6 for Sample File List
Setting a grid is easy as is measuring the BPM by marking a section of the sample. Is your kick drum track "not in time" ? If so, you're stumped in AE4 as it has no fancy variable time signatures and definitely no 'track this dodgy rhythm' function like software of the nature of Logic has. So if your drum beat is freeform you will need to work in freeform mode. (Real music is free form anyway).
If the drum *is* accurate and you are just having trouble measuring the time, I usually measure over a range of bars and set the number of beats in range to say 16 as this is more accurate, Then you will need to shift the drum track to match your grid *before* applying the grid. (probably an iterative process as when the grid is active samples snap to it, and when inactive you cannot see it).
AE4 does have ARexx but the functions are more for adding samples at set offsets and starting playback / recording.
These are the usual features found in DAWs...
* Recording digital audio, midi sequencer and mixer
* virtual VST instruments and plug-ins
* automation, group channels, MIDI channels, FX sends and returns, audio and MIDI editors and music notation editor
* different track views
* mixer and track layout (but not the same as below)
* traditional two windows (track and mixer)
Mixing - mixdown
Could not figure out how to select what part I wanted to send to the aux, set it to echo and return. Pretty much the whole echo effect. Or any effect.
Take look at page17 of the manual.
When you open the EQ / Aux send popup window you will see 4 sends. Now from the menu choose the windows menu.
Menus->Windows-> Aux Returns Window
or press F5
You will see a small window with 4 volume controls and an effects button for each. Click a button and add an effects to that aux channel, then set it up as desired (note the reverb effect has a special AUX setting that improves its use with the aux channel, not compulsory but highly useful). You set the amount of 'return' on the main mix in the Aux Return window, and the amount sent from each main mixer channel in the popup for that channel. Again the aux sends are "prefade" so the volume faders on each channel do not affect them.
Tracking
Effects - fade in
To add some echoes to some vocals, tried to add an effect on a track but did not come out. This is made more complicated as I wanted to mute a vocal but then make it echo at the muting point. Want to have one word of a vocal heard and then echoed off. But when the track is mute the echo is cancelled out.
To correctly understand what is happening here you need to study the figure at the bottom of page 15 on the manual. You will see from that that the effects are applied 'prefade' So the automation you applied will naturally mute the entire signal.
There would be a number of ways to achieve the goal,
You have three real time effects slots, one for smoothing like so
Sample -> Amplify -> Delay
Then automate the gain of the amplify block so that it effectively mutes the sample just before the delay at the appropriate moment, the echo effect should then be heard.
Getting the effects in the right order will require experimentation as they can only be added top down and it's not obvious which order they are applied to the signal, but there only two possibilities, so it wont take long to find out.
Using MUTE can cause clicks to the Amplify can be used to mute more smoothly so that's a secondary advantage.

====Document Scanning - Scandal====
Scanner usually needs to be connected via a USB port and not via a hub or extension lead.
Check in Trident Prefs -> Devices that the USB Scanner is not bound to anything (e.g. Bindings None)
If not found then reboot the computer and recheck.
Start Scandal, choose Settings from Menu strip at top of screen and in Scanner Driver choose the ?#.device of the scanner (e.g. epson2.device).
The next two boxes - leave empty as they are for morphos SCSI use only
or put ata.device (use the selection option in bigger box below) and Unit as 0 this is needed for gt68xx
* gt68xx - no editing needed in s/gt68xx.conf but needs a firmware file that corresponds to the scanner [http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ gt68xx firmwares] in sys:s/gt68xx.
* epson2 - Need to edit the file epson2.conf in sys/s that corresponds to the scanner being used
'''Save''' the settings but do not press the Use button (aros freezes)
Back to the Picture Scan window and the right-hand sections.
Click on the '''Information''' tab and press Connect button and the scanner should now be detected.
Go next to the '''Scanner''' tab next to Information Tab should have Color, Black and White, etc. and dpi settings now. Selecting an option Color, B/W etc. can cause dpi settings corruption (especially if the settings are in one line) so set '''dpi first'''. Make sure if Preview is set or not.
In the '''Scan''' Tab, press Scan and the scanner will do its duty.
Be aware that nothing is saved to disk yet.
In the Save tab, change format JPEG, PNG or IFF DEEP. Tick incremental and base filename if necessary and then click the Save button. The image will now be saved to permanent storage.
The driver ignores a device if it is already bond to another USB class, rejects it from being usable. However, open Trident prefs, select your device and use the right mouse button to open. Select "NONE" to prevent poseidon from touching the device. Now save settings. It should always work now.

===Emulators===
==== Amiberry ====
==== Amiga Emu - Janus UAE ====
With Amibridge, AROS attempts to make the UAE emulator seem embedded within but it still is acting as an app
There is no dynarec m68k for each hardware that Aros supports or direct patching of motorola calls to AROS hardware accelerated ones unless the emulator has that included
Try starting Janus with a priority of -1 like this little script:
<pre>
cd sys:system/AmiBridge/emulator
changetaskpri -1
run janus-uae -f my_uaerc.config >nil:
cd sys:prefs
endcli

Since for the time being no project is loaded, a query window indicates a procedural error when clicking on the rendering icon (right end of the bar). The menu is quite traditional; it varies according to the activity of the windows. To display any altimetric file in the "Mapview" (third icon of the panel), There are three possibilities:
* Loading of a demonstration project.
* The import of a DEM file, followed by texturing and packaging from the "Database-Editor" and the "Color-Editor".
* The creation of an altimetric file in WCS format, then texturing.
The altimeter file editing (display in the menu) is only made possible if the "Mapview" window is active.
The software is made up of many windows and won't be able to describe them all. Know that "Color-Editor" and the "Data-Editor" comprise sufficient functions for obtaining an almost real rendering quality. You have the possibility of inserting vector objects in the "Data-Editor" (creation of roads, railways, etc.)
The Map View (MapView) window
*Database - Objects and Topos
*View - Align, Center, Zoom, Pan, Move
*Draw - Maps and distance
*Object - Find, highlight, add points, conform topo, duplicate
*Motion - Camera, Focus, path, elevation
*Windows - DEM designer, Cloud (.cld) and wave (.wve) editor,
You will notice that by selecting this window and simply moving the pointer to various points on the map you will see latitude and longitude values change, along with the height.
Drop-down menu and Modules, then select MapView and change the width of the window with the map to arrange it in the best way on the screen. With the Auto button the center. Window that then displays the contents of my DEM file, in this case the Grand Canyon. MapView allows you to observe the shape of the landscape from above
ZOOM button
Press the Zoom button and then with the pointer position on a point on the map, press the left mouse button and then move to the opposite corner to circumscribe the chosen area and press the left mouse button again, then we will see the enlarged area selected on the map.
Would add that there is a box next to the Zoom button that allows the direct insertion of a value which, the larger it is, the smaller the magnification and the smaller the value, the stronger the magnification. At each numerical change you will need to press the DRAW button to update the view.
PAN button
Under Zoom you will find the PAN button which allows you to move the map at will in all directions by the amount you want. This is done by drawing a line in one direction, then press PAN and point to an area on the map with the pointer and press the left mouse button. At this point, leave it and move the pointer in one direction by drawing a line and press the left mouse button again to trigger the movement of the map on the screen (origin and end points). Do some experiments and then use the Auto button immediately below to recenter everything.
There are parameters such as TOPO, VEC to be left checked and immediately below one that allows different views of the map with the Style command (Single, Multi, Surface, Emboss, Slope, Contour), each with its own particularities to highlight different details.
Now you have the first basics to manage your project visually on the map. Close the MapView window and go further...
Let's start working on ECOSYSTEMS
If we select Emboss from the MapView Style command we will have a clear idea of how the landscape appears, realizing that it is a predominantly desert region of our planet. Therefore we will begin to act on any vegetation present and the appearance of the landscape.
With WCS we will begin to break down the elements of the landscape by assigning defined characteristics. It will be necessary to determine the classes of the ecosystem (Class) with parameters of Elevation Line (maximum altitude), Relative Elevation (arrangement on basins or convexities with respectively positive or negative parameters), Min Slope and Max Slope (slope). WCS offers the possibility of making ecosystems coexist on the same terrain with the UnderEco function, by setting a Density value.
Ecosys Ecosystem Editor
Let's open it from Modules, then Ecosys Editor. In the left pane you will find the list of ecosystems referring to the files present in our project. It will be necessary to clean up that box to leave only the Water and Snow landscapes and a few other predefined ones. We can do this by selecting the items and pressing the Remove button (be careful not for all elements the button is activated, therefore they cannot all be eliminated).
Once this is done we can start adding new ecosystems. Scroll through the various Unused and as soon as the Name item at the top is activated allowing you to write, type the name of your ecosystem, adding the necessary parameters.
<pre>
Ecosystem1: Name: RockBase Class: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 15 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosystem2: Name: RockIncl Clss: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 30 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosystem3: Name: Grass Class Low Veg Density: 50 Height: 1 Elev Line : 1500 Rel El Eff: 5
Max Slope: 10 – Min Slope: 0 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosistema4: Name: Shrubs Class: Low Veg Density: 40 Height: 8 Elev Line: 3000
Rel El Eff: -2 Max Slope: 20 Min Slope : 5 UnderEco: Terrain
Ecosistema5: Name: Terrain Class: Ground Density: 100 UnderEco: Terrain
</pre>
Now we need to identify an intermediate ecosystem that guarantees a smooth transition between all, therefore we select as Understory Ecosystem the one called Terrain in all ecosystems, except Snow and Water .
Now we need to 'emerge' the Colorado River in the Canyon and we can do this by raising the sea level to 900 (Sea Level) in the Ecosystem called Water.
Please note that the order of the ecosystem list gives priority to those that come after. So our list must have the following order: Water, Snow, Shrubs, RockIncl, RockBase, Terrain. It is possible to carry out all movements with the Swap button at the bottom. To put order you can also press Short List. Press Keep to confirm all the work done so far with Ecosystem Editor.
Remember every now and then to save both the Project 'Modules/Save' and 'Parameter/Save All'
EcoModels are made up of .etp .fgp .iff8 for each model
Color Editor
Now it's time to define the colors of our scene and we can do this by going to Modules and then Color Editor. In the list we focus on our ecosystems, created first.
Let's go to the bottom of the list and select the first white space, assigning the name 'empty1', with a color we like and then we will find this element again in other environments... It could serve as an example for other situations!
So we move to 'grass' which already exists and assign the following colors: R 60 G 70 B50
<pre>
'shrubs': R 60 G 80 B 30
'RockIncl' R 110 G 65 B 60
'RockBase' R 110 G 80 B 80
' Terrain' R 150 G 30 B 30
<pre>
Now we can work on pre-existing colors
<pre>
'SunLight' R 150 G 130 B 130
'Haze and Fog' R 190 G 170 B 170
'Horizon' R 209 G 185 B 190
'Zenith' R 140 G 150 B 200
'Water' R 90 G 125 B 170
</pre>
Ambient R 0 G 0 B 0
So don't forget to close Color Editor by pressing Keep.
Go once again to Ecosystem Editor and assign the corresponding color to each environment by selecting it using the Ecosystem Color button. Press it several times until the correct one appears. Then save the project and parameters again, as done previously.
Motion Editor
Now it's time to take care of the framing, so let's go to Modules and then to Motion Editor. An extremely feature-rich window will open. Following is the list of parameters regarding the Camera, position and other characteristics:
<pre>
-Camera Altitude: 7.0
-Camera Latitude: 36.075
-Camera Longitude: 112.133
-Focus Attitude: -2.0
-Focus Latitude: 36.275
-Focus Longitude: 112.386
-Camera : 512 → rendering window
-Camera Y: 384 → rendering window
-View Arc: 80 → View width in degrees
-Sun Longitude: 172
-Sun Latitude: -0.9
-Haze Start: 3.8
-Haze Range: 78, 5
</pre>
As soon as the values shown in the relevant sliders have been modified, we will be ready to open the CamView window to observe the wireframe preview. Let's not consider all the controls that will appear.
Well from the Motion Editor if you have selected Camera Altitude and open the CamView panel, you can change the height of the camera by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. To update the view, press the Terrain button in the adjacent window. As soon as you are convinced of the position, confirm again with Keep. You can carry out the same work with the other functions of the camera, such as Focus Altitude...
Let's now see the next positioning step on the Camera map, but let's leave the CamView preview window open while we go to Modules to open the window at the same time MapView. We will thus be able to take advantage of the view from the other together with a subjective one.
From the MapView window, select with the left mouse button and while it is pressed, move the Camera as desired. To update the subjective preview, always click on Terrain.
While with the same procedure you can intervene on the direction of the camera lens, by selecting the cross and with the left button pressed you can choose the desired view. So with the pressure of Terrain I update the Preview. Possibly can enlarge or reduce the Map View using the Zoom button, for greater precision.
Also write that the circle around the cameras indicates the beginning of the haze, there are two types (haze and fog) linked to the altitude. Would also add that the camera height is editable through the Motion Editor panel.
The sun
Let's see that changing the position of the sun from the Motion Editor. Press the SUN button at the bottom right and set the time and the date. Longitude and latitude are automatically obtained by the program. Always open the View Arc command from the Motion Editor panel, an item present in the Parameter List box.
Once again confirm everything with Keep and then save again.
Animation
The animation part is not left-back and also occupies a window. The settings possibilities are enormous. A time line with dragging functions ("slide", "drag"...) comparable to that of LightWave completes this window.
A small window is available for positioning the stars as a function of a date, in order to vary the seasons and their various events (and yes...).
At the bottom of the "Motion-Editor", a "cam-view" function will give you access to a control panel. Different preview modes are possible. The rendering is also accessible through a window. No less than nine pages compose it. At this level, you will be able to determine the backup name of your images ("path"), the type of texture to be calculated, the resolution of the images, activate or deactivate functions such as the depth buffer ("zbuffer"), the blur, the background image, etc.
Once all these parameters have been set, all you have to do is click on the "Render" button.
For rendering go to Modules and then Render. Select the resolution, then under IMA select the name of the image. Move to FRA and indicate the level of fractal detail which of 4 is quite good. Then Keep to confirm and then reopen the window, pressing Render you will see the result. The image will be opened with any viewing program.
Strengths:
* Multi-window.
* Quality of rendering.
* Accuracy.
* Opening, preview and rendering on CyberGraphX screen.
* Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats
* The "zbuffer" function.
Weaknesses:
* No OpenGL management
* Calculation time.
* No network computing tool.
====Writing CD / DVD - Frying Pan====
Can be backup DVDs (4GB ISO size limit due to use of FileInfoBlock), create audio cds from mp3's, and put .iso files on discs
If using for the first time - click Drive button and Device set to ata.device and unit to 0 (zero)
Click Tracks Button - Drive 1 - Create New Disc or Import Existing Disc Image (iso bin/cue etc.) - Session File open cue file
If you're making a data cd, with files and drawers from your hard drive, you should be using the ISO Builder.. which is the MUI page on the left. ("Data/Audio Tracks" is on the right).
You should use the "Data/Audio tracks" page if you want to create music cds with AIFF/WAV/MP3 files, or if you download an .iso file, and you want to put it on a cd.
Click WRITE Button - set write speed - click on long Write button
Examples
Easiest way would be to burn a DATA CD, simply go to "Tracks" page "ISO Builder" and "ADD" everything you need to burn.
On the "Write" page i have "Masterize Disc (DAO)", "Close Disc" and "Eject after Write" set.
One must not "Blank disc before write" if one uses a CDR
AUDIO CD from MP3's are as easy but tricky to deal with. FP only understands one MP3 format, Layer II, everything else will just create empty tracks
Burning bootable CD's works only with .iso files. Go to "Tracks" page and "Data/Audio Tracks" and add the .iso
====odf====
Every ODF file is a collection of several subdocuments within a package (ZIP file), each of which stores part of the complete document.
* content.xml – Document content and automatic styles used in the content.
* styles.xml – Styles used in the document content and automatic styles used in the styles themselves.
* meta.xml – Document meta information, such as the author or the time of the last save action.
* settings.xml – Application-specific settings, such as the window size or printer information.
To read document follow these steps:
* Extracting .ods file.
* Getting content.xml file (which contains sheets data).
* Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file.
* Creating DataSet (that represent Spreadsheet file).
* With XmlDocument select “table:table” elements, and then create adequate DataTables.
* Parse child’s of “table:table” element and fill DataTables with those data.
* At the end, return DataSet and show it in application’s interface.
To write document follow these steps:
* Extracting template.ods file (.ods file that we use as template).
* Getting content.xml file.
* Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file.
* Erasing all “table:table” elements from the content.xml file.
* Reading data from our DataSet and composing adequate “table:table” elements.
* Adding “table:table” elements to content.xml file.
* Zipping that file as new .ods file.
XLS file format
The XLS file format contains streams, substreams, and records.
These sheet substreams include worksheets, macro sheets, chart sheets, dialog sheets, and VBA module sheets.
All the records in an XLS document start with a 2-byte unsigned integer to specify Record Type (rt), and another for Count of Bytes (cb). A record cannot exceed 8224 bytes. If larger than the rest is stored in one or more continue records.
* Workbook stream
**Globals substream
***BoundSheet8 record - info for Worksheet substream i.e. name, location, type, and visibility. (4bytes the lbPlyPos FilePointer, specifies the position in the Workbook stream where the sheet substream starts)
**Worksheet substream (sheet) - Cell Table - Row record - Cells (2byte=row 2byte=column 2byte=XF format)
***Blank cell record
***RK cell record 32-bit number.
***BoolErr cell record (2-byte Bes structure that may be either a Boolean value or an error code)
***Number cell record (64-bit floating-point number)
***LabelSst cell record (4-byte integer that specifies a string in the Shared Strings Table (SST). Specifically, the integer corresponds to the array index in the RGB field of the SST)
***Formula cell record (FormulaValue structure in the 8 bytes that follow the cell structure. The next 6 bytes can be ignored, and the rest of the record is a CellParsedFormula structure that contains the formula itself)
***MulBlank record (first 2 bytes give the row, and the next 2 bytes give the column that the series of blanks starts at. Next, a variable length array of cell structures follows to store formatting information, and the last 2 bytes show what column the series of blanks ends on)
***MulRK record
***Shared String Table (SST) contains all of the string values in the workbook.

Some exceptions:

*The other I2C on pins 3, 5 (GPIO 2, 3) can be used generally, but be aware they have permanent pull-up resistors to 3.3V
*For MIDI use USB but there are dedicated UART pins 8, 10 (GPIO 14, 15).
With a HAT it's more awkward -- you need to know which pins are used by the HAT and avoid them. Hopefully this will be documented.
Remember all GPIOs are 3.3V (not 5V tolerant), floating/noisy inputs can cause odd behavior, and that shorting the power supplies can cause instant death of the Pi.

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]
../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib
arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)
*armel - many of the "android" machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP.
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)
Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.
Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.
*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.
with—disable-crosstools $AROS_CC is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC ? If so, this is wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port.
Yes, Android port will build. And even work. But it's not good because the port will not be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:
<pre>
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
</pre>
sizeof(testvar) will be equal to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS) and sizeof(short) on Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.
Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.
Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.
compiler=kernel is appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or barebone hardware, if we talk about native). This includes bootstraps, their linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.
No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows, Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.
If you want to compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append the following to USER_INCLUDES (or USER_CFLAGS, this is effectively the same):
-isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)
$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:
-isystem <your_os_includes> -isystem <host_OS_gcc_private_includes>
-nostdinc
This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.
If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).
Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.
Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.
Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but "./configure --target=raspi-armhf" is enough to start, then "make arosboot-raspi" will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc). It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

<pre>
./configure --target=linux-armhf --x-includes=/usr/include \
--enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include
</pre>
Now, the AROS build is configured properly and all you need to do is:
make
==Build==
===64bit===
===32bit===
# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:
<pre>
>cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
>/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
>make
>make arosboot-raspi
</pre>
then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.
You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.
The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
<pre>
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
</pre>
That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.
NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first
arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console "emulation" via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library
arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.
The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load the arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).
the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)

looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic
found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.
now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)
P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.
Last time built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.
My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a "template" to compare to native compilation under arm linux.
Thanks for your suggestion...but think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM. try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.
For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.
Thanks compilation now go forward...changed target.cfg under "toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config" and do make on "toolchain-core-armhf-build" dir.
Need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh
Found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:
#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm
Don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.
Try adding this line (and the variant "linklibs-armhf" instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do "linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick".
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile
To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.
With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
"cannot find -laeabi " so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

*[https://github.com/axizo-pi/V3DLib vc6 V3D 4.2] is derived from [https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/12358545 vc4], but it is significantly different
The QPU pipeline stays mostly the same, you still have an add ALU and a multiply ALU and it can issue two ALU OPs per cycle. There is still 4 SIMD lanes, interleaved over 4 cycles.
The instruction encoding for the QPUs is different, but the core instructions are the same.
Instructions for packed 8 bit int math has been dropped, along with most of the pack modes.
Instructions for packed 16bit float math has been added (2 floats at in a single operation)
With vc5/vc6, you write two packed 16f value to the tilebuffer (or four writes of 32f, if you are using the rgba32f framebuffer). And there is a handy vfpack operation which allows you to pack two f32s into a single 32bit value in a single instruction. You can vfpack directly into the tile buffer register.
the multiply ALU can now fadd, so you can issue two fadds per instruction. the add ALU has gained a bunch of new instructions
the A and B register files have been merged. You still only get an A read and a B read per instruction, but they read from one big register file (which means the underlying memory block has gone from two sets of "one read port, one write port" to one "two read ports, one write port" block)
The theoretical max FLOPs per QPU remains the same at two per cycle, other than the bump from 400mhz to 500mhx but it looks like a lot of effort has been put putting those theoretical FLOPs to better use.
*vc4 could run one or two threads per QPU. When you ran in two thread mode, the available register file halfed to 32 registers.
*vc5 added a four thread per QPU mode, with 16 registers per thread.
*vc6 doubled the size of the register file. You could now use all 64 threads in two thread mode and 32 registers in for thread mode. Single thread mode was removed, you always have at least two threads.
With the threading improvements, the QPUs should spent much less time idle waiting NOPs for memory requests. Most of the design changes have gone to improving the fixed function hardware around the QPUs. A fixed function blend unit has been added, which should reduce load on the QPUs when doing alpha blending. hope software blending is still possible
The tile buffer can now store upto 4 render targets (up to 128bits per pixel, so if you are using 4 32bit render targets, you can't have a depth buffer)
A MMU, allowing a much simpler/faster kernel driver.
Many more texture formats, framebuffer formats.
All the features needed for opengl es 3.0
H.265 / HEVC decoder is a HEVCv2 Main 4:4:4 10 design supporting bitstreams up to profile 5.1
HEVC hardware decode supports 4kp60, 10-bit. Audio output is pretty much unchanged, but the HDMI audio channels now support 8x192kHz bitrates
Each ALU typically have 2 floating point operators, and as you pointed out in a earlier post videocore 6 is no exception, with both a multiply and additive floating point operator. Thus theoretical GFLOPs are calculated with both operators in mind. That is what the 2 in my formula represents, and is common across any modern programmable shader, whether you calculate Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Boardcom or any other company's GPUs. Total ALUs * 2 * GHz clock = GFLOPs, In the case of Raspberry Pi 3, it's 24 ALUs * 2 operators * 0.4GHz = 19.2GFLOPs
If the Videocore 6 does indeed only have 16 ALUs (16 * 2 * 0.5GHz), you'd have only 16GFLOPs but they are better utilised

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has increased. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and benefits from active fan cooling if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

Implemented so far...
# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The "rom" image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..
Improvements...

It also has the "virtual" hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v)

Boot up typical for most other OSs before the open sourcing of many binary blobs from 2017 onwards
On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.
The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks
*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image
The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.
RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named "kernel.img" at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)
Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.
You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.
At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way... u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.
Most used [http://www.compulab.co.il/workspace/mediawiki/index.php5/U-Boot_quick_reference uboot options] are fatls usb 0:1,
the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS routed only raw hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt. 1:1 relationship between CPU and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.
IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class. PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain "Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means". They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.
Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No. A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was "abstract timer interrupt", used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. Thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.
Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
Poseidon.library creates its "Poseidon Event Task" during RTF_COLDSTART -> then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.
You miss what happens next...
1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.
My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.
There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.
The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.
The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)
Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:
movw r0, #:lower16:label
movt r0, #:upper16:label
In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.
There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to "fake" executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.
Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files.
GPU
VCore developed by Alphamosaic Ltd and now owned by Broadcom. Most of start.elf runs on the GPU. Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.
The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API. The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf). That's also the bad news. Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much. It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.
The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated. It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.
Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC. If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.
If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.
L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.
Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?
Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).
You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)
So ..
pagetable[x] = x<<20 | 2;
should be enough?
No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'
tell dosboot the correct defaults to use
Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead, display drivers should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=>instantiate itself. This should make things way simpler. With this approach you only need to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No hardcoded stuff.
Currently VESA and VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.
they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).
AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.
BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?
Also, IIRC we have support for "external memory allocators". Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.
All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.
trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.
Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port. You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.
You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.
So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.
Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.
That should have done it.
If you set "#define DEBUG 1" in arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?
have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?
Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot
Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..
was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist.
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.
Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS or Amiga OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs splintering.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)
The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place. If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur. I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian. It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary. They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
Have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (verified this) -> so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer "bitmap object" myself - only as a result of being asked to. The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback. In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer. don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)
So far have -:
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
vc4 had v8adds, v8subs, v8muld, v8min and v8max which operated on four 8bit uint values packed into a 32bit register. Multiplication was in the range 0.0 to 1.0 and addition/subtraction saturated. There were also a range unpacking/packing modes that allowed you to pack and unpack 8bit values into 32bit registers.
RasPi has to speak to the "operating system" which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.
The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.
The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.
The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address.
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says "interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer." so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.
The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).
openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface
To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.
Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.
As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.
struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi. AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE
This stuff is a bit confusing. The "names" of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:
ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.
The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).
With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).
The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).
The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt->stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.
In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.
Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.
0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)
0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)
it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.
read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
Suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.
Kickstart
The idea is to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to make the user's life easier. So, the kickstart was split into 'base' (which does not contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff. This way, for example, distribution makers can save up space on CD and make CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration would load the same base with different BSP's.
Next there was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These are filesystems. Hosted ports do not need them to boot up, so on hosted they are left out. At the other hand, they are also architecture-agnostic. So i put them into 'FS' package (standing for 'filesystem').
USB
Poseidon is one more big part. I made it into separate package in order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to run on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon is hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty standard).
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code. Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running. Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.
Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side. Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode & switching modes once it's up and running.
Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.
* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port.
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.
Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.
Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the "virtual" root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.
The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).
There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].
The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.
The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).
Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....
* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.
the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.
Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts.
After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself.
The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have "prefixed" it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)
So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.

Audio
The Pi 4B is the only Pi that can output HD Audio as an HD Audio passthrough bitstream, and it does it over HDMI. It's possible to use the two HDMI output for separate HDMI video and HDMI audio outputs to allow UHD HDR video and HD Audio with non-UHD HDR compatible AVRs.
The Pi3B+ and earlier will decode to PCM 5.1/7.1 and output over HDMI. HDMI is the only interconnect that has a standard for carrying Dolby True HD, DTS HD MA etc. as a bitstream - you can't carry it as a bitstream on any other interface.
Pi3 and Pi4 audio jack output derived from 12bit pulse width modulation is relatively poor. For better, choose USB Audio or I2C versions.
[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]
The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality
the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures

GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)

hdmi issues
Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.
You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.
If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to "set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode
Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.
Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.
What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.
The wiring for the 4 pole are:
TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)
RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)
RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)
RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW
Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.
Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.
Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.
External devices
* Camera Module Omnivision ov5647 Sunny 5MP (NoIR version) V1.3 - NoIR at 850 nm, peak at 880 nm and trails off at 940 nm wavelengths
* Camera V2 Sony IMX219 V2.1 8mpixel 8MP 8megapixel - 3280 x 2464 pixels - video at 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 - wider field of view, 62 vs 54 degrees horizontally -
* Branded WIFI usb BCM43143 dongle
N.B. dreaded error after changing cameras (stupidly without turning off the power first) and lasted through several power cycles. It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board. the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C.
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible. currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219. The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters.
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

As a homage to the past, Aros shows a reduced number of icons but this can be changed by left mouse click in the window and then right click down to Window -> View -> All files
Windows can be manipulated by the top (moving) and the bottom right corner (resizing) only.
Zune like MUI gui interface, has a unique quirk in that after changing a setting in a text box, you may sometimes need to press Enter/Return before clicking OK, Save, etc
Like most amiga like OSs the audio and networking need to be setup manually
Audio AHI prefs - Mode settings tab - needs both Music unit and Unit 0 set to RPiHDMI:16 bit stereo++ or RPiPWM:16 bit stereo++ at 44100Hz. Press '''Save or Use''' button after each choice
Double left mouse click on most picture (Developer/Debug/Tests/Datatypes), audio and video files are supported, via datatypes, by the multiview application.
Esc escape key usually closes open windows even the desktop
In Prefs/Appearance some decorative theming elements need work. There is a few Mason icons in /Prefs/Presets/Icons/Mason/ and the ever present default Gorilla - Icon exchange in works
For more intensive graphics applications, you may need to edit config.txt in the root folder and change 128M to 256M to adjust more memory to graphics usage
If your cursor should '''appear''' to vanish, fear not it is still there. Please head to the top of the screen, hold down the left click mouse and drag the screen down a little and it will appear again.

It helps to have all usb devices already plugged in before power on to detect at the moment. Even then some usb devices will freeze the mouse cursor and the only resolution is to remove the offending usb device and reinsert. Sometimes, the reinsert leads to the mouse cursor vanishing, it is still there and responds to left mouse clicks, top of the screen and pull down the screen.

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]
../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib
arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)
*armel - many of the "android" machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP.
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)
Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.
Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.
*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.
with—disable-crosstools $AROS_CC is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC ? If so, this is wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port.
Yes, Android port will build. And even work. But it's not good because the port will not be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:
<pre>
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
</pre>
sizeof(testvar) will be equal to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS) and sizeof(short) on Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.
Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.
Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.
compiler=kernel is appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or barebone hardware, if we talk about native). This includes bootstraps, their linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.
No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows, Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.
If you want to compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append the following to USER_INCLUDES (or USER_CFLAGS, this is effectively the same):
-isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)
$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:
-isystem <your_os_includes> -isystem <host_OS_gcc_private_includes>
-nostdinc
This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.
If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).
Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.
Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.
Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but "./configure --target=raspi-armhf" is enough to start, then "make arosboot-raspi" will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc). It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

Now, the AROS build is configured properly and all you need to do is:
make
==Build==
===64bit===
===32bit===
# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:
<pre>
>cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
>/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
>make
>make arosboot-raspi
</pre>
then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.
You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.
The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
<pre>
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
</pre>
That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.
NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first
arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console "emulation" via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library
arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.
The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load the arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).
the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)
Help building AROS hosted on Linux ARM

looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic
found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.
now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)
P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.
Last time built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.
My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a "template" to compare to native compilation under arm linux.
Thanks for your suggestion...but think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM. try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.
For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.
Thanks compilation now go forward...changed target.cfg under "toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config" and do make on "toolchain-core-armhf-build" dir.
Need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh
Found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:
#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm
Don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.
Try adding this line (and the variant "linklibs-armhf" instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do "linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick".
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile
To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.
With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
"cannot find -laeabi " so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

The QPU pipeline stays mostly the same, you still have an add ALU and a multiply ALU and it can issue two ALU OPs per cycle. There is still 4 SIMD lanes, interleaved over 4 cycles.
The instruction encoding for the QPUs is different, but the core instructions are the same.
Instructions for packed 8 bit int math has been dropped, along with most of the pack modes.
Instructions for packed 16bit float math has been added (2 floats at in a single operation)
With vc5/vc6, you write two packed 16f value to the tilebuffer (or four writes of 32f, if you are using the rgba32f framebuffer). And there is a handy vfpack operation which allows you to pack two f32s into a single 32bit value in a single instruction. You can vfpack directly into the tile buffer register.
the multiply ALU can now fadd, so you can issue two fadds per instruction. the add ALU has gained a bunch of new instructions
the A and B register files have been merged. You still only get an A read and a B read per instruction, but they read from one big register file (which means the underlying memory block has gone from two sets of "one read port, one write port" to one "two read ports, one write port" block)
The theoretical max FLOPs per QPU remains the same at two per cycle, other than the bump from 400mhz to 500mhx but it looks like a lot of effort has been put putting those theoretical FLOPs to better use.
*vc4 could run one or two threads per QPU. When you ran in two thread mode, the available register file halfed to 32 registers.
*vc5 added a four thread per QPU mode, with 16 registers per thread.
*vc6 doubled the size of the register file. You could now use all 64 threads in two thread mode and 32 registers in for thread mode. Single thread mode was removed, you always have at least two threads.
With the threading improvements, the QPUs should spent much less time idle waiting NOPs for memory requests. Most of the design changes have gone to improving the fixed function hardware around the QPUs. A fixed function blend unit has been added, which should reduce load on the QPUs when doing alpha blending. hope software blending is still possible
The tile buffer can now store upto 4 render targets (up to 128bits per pixel, so if you are using 4 32bit render targets, you can't have a depth buffer)
A MMU, allowing a much simpler/faster kernel driver.
Many more texture formats, framebuffer formats.
All the features needed for opengl es 3.0
H.265 / HEVC decoder is a HEVCv2 Main 4:4:4 10 design supporting bitstreams up to profile 5.1
HEVC hardware decode supports 4kp60, 10-bit. Audio output is pretty much unchanged, but the HDMI audio channels now support 8x192kHz bitrates
Each ALU typically have 2 floating point operators, and as you pointed out in a earlier post videocore 6 is no exception, with both a multiply and additive floating point operator. Thus theoretical GFLOPs are calculated with both operators in mind. That is what the 2 in my formula represents, and is common across any modern programmable shader, whether you calculate Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Boardcom or any other company's GPUs. Total ALUs * 2 * GHz clock = GFLOPs, In the case of Raspberry Pi 3, it's 24 ALUs * 2 operators * 0.4GHz = 19.2GFLOPs
If the Videocore 6 does indeed only have 16 ALUs (16 * 2 * 0.5GHz), you'd have only 16GFLOPs but they are better utilised

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has increased. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and benefits from active fan cooling if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

Implemented so far...
# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The "rom" image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..
Improvements...
# Implement a USB chipset driver "OR" finish the existing one [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/c07d13c724f944674be5db54fc6a71ee72a01809 usb otg] - the current code is mostly a skeleton that should initialise the chipset and then needs relevant code to support the different transfer types. It also has the "virtual" hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v)
# Implement a driver for the USB NIC (a few weeks - depends on USB above)
# Write an [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/d55d0f74d20b769bbb8c8d386e5c1d7a9154f05a audio driver] (a few weeks - independent of USB) and [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/e93a4c245f27a87c9c4c1d39206694b39059998a HDMI]

Boot up typical for most other OSs before the open sourcing of many binary blobs from 2017 onwards
On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.
The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks
*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image
The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.
RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named "kernel.img" at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)
Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.
You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.
At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way... u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.
Most used [http://www.compulab.co.il/workspace/mediawiki/index.php5/U-Boot_quick_reference uboot options] are fatls usb 0:1,
the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS routed only raw hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt. 1:1 relationship between CPU and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.
IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class. PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain "Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means". They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.
Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No. A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was "abstract timer interrupt", used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. Thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.
Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
Poseidon.library creates its "Poseidon Event Task" during RTF_COLDSTART -> then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.
You miss what happens next...
1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.
My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.
There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.
The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.
The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)
Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:
movw r0, #:lower16:label
movt r0, #:upper16:label
In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.
There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to "fake" executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.
Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files.
GPU
VCore developed by Alphamosaic Ltd and now owned by Broadcom. Most of start.elf runs on the GPU. Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.
The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API. The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf). That's also the bad news. Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much. It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.
The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated. It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.
Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC. If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.
If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.
L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.
Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?
Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).
You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)
So ..
pagetable[x] = x<<20 | 2;
should be enough?
No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'
tell dosboot the correct defaults to use
Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead, display drivers should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=>instantiate itself. This should make things way simpler. With this approach you only need to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No hardcoded stuff.
Currently VESA and VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.
they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).
AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.
BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?
Also, IIRC we have support for "external memory allocators". Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.
All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.
trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.
Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port. You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.
You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.
So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.
Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.
That should have done it.
If you set "#define DEBUG 1" in arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?
have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?
Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot
Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..
was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist.
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.
Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS or Amiga OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs splintering.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)
The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place. If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur. I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian. It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary. They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
Have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (verified this) -> so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer "bitmap object" myself - only as a result of being asked to. The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback. In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer. don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)
So far have -:
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
vc4 had v8adds, v8subs, v8muld, v8min and v8max which operated on four 8bit uint values packed into a 32bit register. Multiplication was in the range 0.0 to 1.0 and addition/subtraction saturated. There were also a range unpacking/packing modes that allowed you to pack and unpack 8bit values into 32bit registers.
RasPi has to speak to the "operating system" which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.
The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.
The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.
The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address.
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says "interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer." so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.
The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).
openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface
To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.
Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.
As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.
struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi. AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE
This stuff is a bit confusing. The "names" of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:
ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.
The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).
With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).
The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).
The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt->stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.
In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.
Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.
0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)
0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)
it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.
read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
Suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.
Kickstart
The idea is to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to make the user's life easier. So, the kickstart was split into 'base' (which does not contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff. This way, for example, distribution makers can save up space on CD and make CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration would load the same base with different BSP's.
Next there was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These are filesystems. Hosted ports do not need them to boot up, so on hosted they are left out. At the other hand, they are also architecture-agnostic. So i put them into 'FS' package (standing for 'filesystem').
USB
Poseidon is one more big part. I made it into separate package in order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to run on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon is hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty standard).
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code. Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running. Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.
Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side. Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode & switching modes once it's up and running.
Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.
* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port.
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.
Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.
Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the "virtual" root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.
The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).
There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].
The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.
The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).
Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....
* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.
the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.
Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts.
After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself.
The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have "prefixed" it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)
So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.
[http://www.raspyfi.com/raspberry-pi-usb-audio-fix/ Issue with USB Audio]
Audio
The Pi 4B is the only Pi that can output HD Audio as an HD Audio passthrough bitstream, and it does it over HDMI. It's possible to use the two HDMI output for separate HDMI video and HDMI audio outputs to allow UHD HDR video and HD Audio with non-UHD HDR compatible AVRs.
The Pi3B+ and earlier will decode to PCM 5.1/7.1 and output over HDMI. HDMI is the only interconnect that has a standard for carrying Dolby True HD, DTS HD MA etc. as a bitstream - you can't carry it as a bitstream on any other interface.
Pi3 and Pi4 audio jack output derived from 12bit pulse width modulation is relatively poor. For better, choose USB Audio or I2C versions.
[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]
The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality
the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures
Analogue audio
Audio over HDMI rev 1.3 & 1.4
Ethernet
10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ45 socket
GPIO
GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)
Probably a resource rather than a device...
Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p
GPU graphics with 2D and 3D acceleration
Sadly none yet for 32bit but for 64bit...
Miscellanous
hdmi issues
Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.
You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.
If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to "set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode
Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.
Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost
composite video
changing the RCA cable, then the composite port worked out of the box
Boot it as you are doing, without HDMI. If you now plug in the HDMI, do you get the image? In other words, does the Pi think HDMI is connected even when it isn't?
Rename all the files in the first partion of the card except bootcode.bin, start.elf and fixup.dat What's the result?
Put back config.txt What's the result?

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.
What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.
The wiring for the 4 pole are:
TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)
RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)
RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)
RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW
Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.
Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.
Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.
External devices
* Camera Module Omnivision ov5647 Sunny 5MP (NoIR version) V1.3 - NoIR at 850 nm, peak at 880 nm and trails off at 940 nm wavelengths
* Camera V2 Sony IMX219 V2.1 8mpixel 8MP 8megapixel - 3280 x 2464 pixels - video at 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 - wider field of view, 62 vs 54 degrees horizontally -
* Branded WIFI usb BCM43143 dongle
N.B. dreaded error after changing cameras (stupidly without turning off the power first) and lasted through several power cycles. It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board. the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C.
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible. currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219. The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters.
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

As a homage to the past, Aros shows a reduced number of icons but this can be changed by left mouse click in the window and then right click down to Window -> View -> All files
Windows can be manipulated by the top (moving) and the bottom right corner (resizing) only.
Zune like MUI gui interface, has a unique quirk in that after changing a setting in a text box, you may sometimes need to press Enter/Return before clicking OK, Save, etc
Like most amiga like OSs the audio and networking need to be setup manually
Audio AHI prefs - Mode settings tab - needs both Music unit and Unit 0 set to RPiHDMI:16 bit stereo++ or RPiPWM:16 bit stereo++ at 44100Hz. Press '''Save or Use''' button after each choice
Double left mouse click on most picture (Developer/Debug/Tests/Datatypes), audio and video files are supported, via datatypes, by the multiview application.

Some exceptions:
*Physical pins 27, 28 (GPIO0, 1) are an internal I2C bus and should not be used
*The other I2C on pins 3, 5 (GPIO 2, 3) can be used generally, but be aware they have permanent pull-up resistors to 3.3V
*For MIDI use USB but there are dedicated UART pins 8, 10 (GPIO 14, 15).
With a HAT it's more awkward -- you need to know which pins are used by the HAT and avoid them. Hopefully this will be documented.
Remember all GPIOs are 3.3V (not 5V tolerant), floating/noisy inputs can cause odd behavior, and that shorting the power supplies can cause instant death of the Pi.

=====32bit=====
Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]
../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib
arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)
*armel - many of the "android" machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP.
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)
Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.
Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.
*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.
with—disable-crosstools $AROS_CC is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC ? If so, this is wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port.
Yes, Android port will build. And even work. But it's not good because the port will not be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:
<pre>
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
</pre>
sizeof(testvar) will be equal to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS) and sizeof(short) on Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.
Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.
Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.
compiler=kernel is appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or barebone hardware, if we talk about native). This includes bootstraps, their linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.
No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows, Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.
If you want to compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append the following to USER_INCLUDES (or USER_CFLAGS, this is effectively the same):
-isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)
$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:
-isystem <your_os_includes> -isystem <host_OS_gcc_private_includes>
-nostdinc
This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.
If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).
Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.
Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.
Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but "./configure --target=raspi-armhf" is enough to start, then "make arosboot-raspi" will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc). It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

Now, the AROS build is configured properly and all you need to do is:
make
==Build==
===64bit===
===32bit===
# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:
<pre>
>cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
>/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
>make
>make arosboot-raspi
</pre>
then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.
You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.
The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
<pre>
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
</pre>
That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.
NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first
arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console "emulation" via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library
arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.
The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load the arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).
the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)
Help building AROS hosted on Linux ARM

looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic
found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.
now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)
P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.
Last time built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.
My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a "template" to compare to native compilation under arm linux.
Thanks for your suggestion...but think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM. try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.
For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.
Thanks compilation now go forward...changed target.cfg under "toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config" and do make on "toolchain-core-armhf-build" dir.
Need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh
Found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:
#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm
Don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.
Try adding this line (and the variant "linklibs-armhf" instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do "linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick".
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile
To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.
With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
"cannot find -laeabi " so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

*[https://github.com/axizo-pi/V3DLib vc6 V3D 4.2] is derived from [https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/12358545 vc4], but it is significantly different
The QPU pipeline stays mostly the same, you still have an add ALU and a multiply ALU and it can issue two ALU OPs per cycle. There is still 4 SIMD lanes, interleaved over 4 cycles.
The instruction encoding for the QPUs is different, but the core instructions are the same.
Instructions for packed 8 bit int math has been dropped, along with most of the pack modes.
Instructions for packed 16bit float math has been added (2 floats at in a single operation)
With vc5/vc6, you write two packed 16f value to the tilebuffer (or four writes of 32f, if you are using the rgba32f framebuffer). And there is a handy vfpack operation which allows you to pack two f32s into a single 32bit value in a single instruction. You can vfpack directly into the tile buffer register.
the multiply ALU can now fadd, so you can issue two fadds per instruction. the add ALU has gained a bunch of new instructions
the A and B register files have been merged. You still only get an A read and a B read per instruction, but they read from one big register file (which means the underlying memory block has gone from two sets of "one read port, one write port" to one "two read ports, one write port" block)
The theoretical max FLOPs per QPU remains the same at two per cycle, other than the bump from 400mhz to 500mhx but it looks like a lot of effort has been put putting those theoretical FLOPs to better use.
*vc4 could run one or two threads per QPU. When you ran in two thread mode, the available register file halfed to 32 registers.
*vc5 added a four thread per QPU mode, with 16 registers per thread.
*vc6 doubled the size of the register file. You could now use all 64 threads in two thread mode and 32 registers in for thread mode. Single thread mode was removed, you always have at least two threads.
With the threading improvements, the QPUs should spent much less time idle waiting NOPs for memory requests. Most of the design changes have gone to improving the fixed function hardware around the QPUs. A fixed function blend unit has been added, which should reduce load on the QPUs when doing alpha blending. hope software blending is still possible
The tile buffer can now store upto 4 render targets (up to 128bits per pixel, so if you are using 4 32bit render targets, you can't have a depth buffer)
A MMU, allowing a much simpler/faster kernel driver.
Many more texture formats, framebuffer formats.
All the features needed for opengl es 3.0
H.265 / HEVC decoder is a HEVCv2 Main 4:4:4 10 design supporting bitstreams up to profile 5.1
HEVC hardware decode supports 4kp60, 10-bit. Audio output is pretty much unchanged, but the HDMI audio channels now support 8x192kHz bitrates
Each ALU typically have 2 floating point operators, and as you pointed out in a earlier post videocore 6 is no exception, with both a multiply and additive floating point operator. Thus theoretical GFLOPs are calculated with both operators in mind. That is what the 2 in my formula represents, and is common across any modern programmable shader, whether you calculate Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Boardcom or any other company's GPUs. Total ALUs * 2 * GHz clock = GFLOPs, In the case of Raspberry Pi 3, it's 24 ALUs * 2 operators * 0.4GHz = 19.2GFLOPs
If the Videocore 6 does indeed only have 16 ALUs (16 * 2 * 0.5GHz), you'd have only 16GFLOPs but they are better utilised
Possible maximum performance

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has increased. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and benefits from active fan cooling if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

Implemented so far...
# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The "rom" image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..
Improvements...

It also has the "virtual" hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v)
# Implement a driver for the USB NIC (a few weeks - depends on USB above)

Boot up typical for most other OSs before the open sourcing of many binary blobs from 2017 onwards
On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.
The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks
*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image
The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.
RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named "kernel.img" at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)
Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.
You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.
At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way... u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.
Most used [http://www.compulab.co.il/workspace/mediawiki/index.php5/U-Boot_quick_reference uboot options] are fatls usb 0:1,
the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS routed only raw hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt. 1:1 relationship between CPU and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.
IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class. PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain "Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means". They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.
Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No. A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was "abstract timer interrupt", used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. Thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.
Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
Poseidon.library creates its "Poseidon Event Task" during RTF_COLDSTART -> then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.
You miss what happens next...
1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.
My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.
There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.
The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.
The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)
Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:
movw r0, #:lower16:label
movt r0, #:upper16:label
In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.
There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to "fake" executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.
Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files.
GPU
VCore developed by Alphamosaic Ltd and now owned by Broadcom. Most of start.elf runs on the GPU. Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.
The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API. The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf). That's also the bad news. Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much. It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.
The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated. It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.
Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC. If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.
If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.
L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.
Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?
Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).
You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)
So ..
pagetable[x] = x<<20 | 2;

No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'
tell dosboot the correct defaults to use
Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead, display drivers should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=>instantiate itself. This should make things way simpler. With this approach you only need to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No hardcoded stuff.
Currently VESA and VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.
they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).
AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.
BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?
Also, IIRC we have support for "external memory allocators". Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.
All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.
trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.
Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port. You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.
You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.
So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.
Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.
That should have done it.
If you set "#define DEBUG 1" in arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?
have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?
Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot
Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..
was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist.
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.
Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS or Amiga OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs splintering.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)
The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place. If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur. I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian. It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary. They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
Have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (verified this) -> so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer "bitmap object" myself - only as a result of being asked to. The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback. In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer. don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)
So far have -:
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
vc4 had v8adds, v8subs, v8muld, v8min and v8max which operated on four 8bit uint values packed into a 32bit register. Multiplication was in the range 0.0 to 1.0 and addition/subtraction saturated. There were also a range unpacking/packing modes that allowed you to pack and unpack 8bit values into 32bit registers.
RasPi has to speak to the "operating system" which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.
The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.
The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.
The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address.
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says "interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer." so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.
The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).
openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface
To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.
Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.
As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.
struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi. AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE
This stuff is a bit confusing. The "names" of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:
ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.
The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).
With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).
The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).
The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt->stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.
In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.
Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.
0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)
0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (->entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)
it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.
read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
Suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.
Kickstart
The idea is to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to make the user's life easier. So, the kickstart was split into 'base' (which does not contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff. This way, for example, distribution makers can save up space on CD and make CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration would load the same base with different BSP's.
Next there was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These are filesystems. Hosted ports do not need them to boot up, so on hosted they are left out. At the other hand, they are also architecture-agnostic. So i put them into 'FS' package (standing for 'filesystem').
USB
Poseidon is one more big part. I made it into separate package in order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to run on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon is hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty standard).
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code. Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running. Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.
Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side. Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode & switching modes once it's up and running.
Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.
* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port.
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.
Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.
Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the "virtual" root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.
The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).
There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].
The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.
The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).
Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....
* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.
the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.
Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts.
After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself.
The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have "prefixed" it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)
So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.
[http://www.raspyfi.com/raspberry-pi-usb-audio-fix/ Issue with USB Audio]
Audio
The Pi 4B is the only Pi that can output HD Audio as an HD Audio passthrough bitstream, and it does it over HDMI. It's possible to use the two HDMI output for separate HDMI video and HDMI audio outputs to allow UHD HDR video and HD Audio with non-UHD HDR compatible AVRs.
The Pi3B+ and earlier will decode to PCM 5.1/7.1 and output over HDMI. HDMI is the only interconnect that has a standard for carrying Dolby True HD, DTS HD MA etc. as a bitstream - you can't carry it as a bitstream on any other interface.
Pi3 and Pi4 audio jack output derived from 12bit pulse width modulation is relatively poor. For better, choose USB Audio or I2C versions.
[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]
The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality
the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures
Analogue audio
Audio over HDMI rev 1.3 & 1.4
Ethernet
10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ45 socket
GPIO
GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)
Probably a resource rather than a device...
Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p
GPU graphics with 2D and 3D acceleration
Sadly none yet for 32bit but for 64bit...
Miscellanous
hdmi issues
Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.
You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.
If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to "set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode
Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.
Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost
composite video
changing the RCA cable, then the composite port worked out of the box
Boot it as you are doing, without HDMI. If you now plug in the HDMI, do you get the image? In other words, does the Pi think HDMI is connected even when it isn't?
Rename all the files in the first partion of the card except bootcode.bin, start.elf and fixup.dat What's the result?
Put back config.txt What's the result?
for PAL mode sdtv_mode=2
dmi_ignore_hotplug Pretends HDMI hotplug signal is not asserted so it appears a HDMI display is not attached
hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1 Use composite mode even if HDMI monitor is detected

config.txt
the hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1 option sems relevant as it should tell ALSA that the only available audio is analog, no matter what the display says
There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.
What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.
The wiring for the 4 pole are:
TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)
RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)
RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)
RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW
Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.
Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.
Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.
External devices
* Camera Module Omnivision ov5647 Sunny 5MP (NoIR version) V1.3 - NoIR at 850 nm, peak at 880 nm and trails off at 940 nm wavelengths
* Camera V2 Sony IMX219 V2.1 8mpixel 8MP 8megapixel - 3280 x 2464 pixels - video at 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 - wider field of view, 62 vs 54 degrees horizontally -
* Branded WIFI usb BCM43143 dongle
N.B. dreaded error after changing cameras (stupidly without turning off the power first) and lasted through several power cycles. It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board. the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C.
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible. currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219. The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters.
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Franco-Prussian War (1870−1871)}}}|Franco-Prussian War (1870−1871)|
* The Prussians hoped to consolidate the smaller states into a new German state; creating a dominant new power head within Europe (as threat to Austria).
* The Prussian Army humiliated France in these Franco-Prussian wars. This was as a result of the effective modern '''technology''' such as railways.
* France lost the territory of '''Alsace-Lorraine''' and had to pay an '''indemnity''' of 5,000 million marks.
* '''Germany was a new power''' of Europe and France suffered from '''political and socio-economic problems''' following their defeat. [[IB_History/Route_2/Causes,_Practices,_and_Effects_of_Wars/The_Results_of_World_War_I#The terms of the Treaty of Versailles|This spurred later revenge]].

==Characteristics of Great European Powers c. 1900==
===Germany===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|German Characteristics c. 1900}}}|German Characteristics c. 1900|
* Germany was a democratic monarchy that had a German parliament, The Reichstag, that held limited powers.
* After the Franco-Prussian War, it was the strongest industrial power in Europe, overtaking Britain.
* Suffered from socio-economic problems from the large working class as a result of rapid industrialisation.
* Germany wanted to pursue imperialism and wanted to develop its empire into an overseas empire (colonies in Africa).
* One country stood in its way, Britain.
}}</onlyinclude>
===France===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|French Characteristics c. 1900}}}|French Characteristics c. 1900|
* France was a democratic republic with extensive civil liberties.
* Agriculturally based with most civilians living in rural areas.
* Wealthy, and had a large empire.
* Economically unstable as a result of the "swinging economy" before "pacifist" left and "revanchist" right wing parties.
* Wanted Alsace-Lorraine back from Germany.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Britain===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|British Characteristics c. 1900}}}|British Characteristics c. 1900|
* Established parliamentary democracy; monarchy retained limited powers.
* Built a vast overseas empire as a result of early industrial revolution - the most powerful international trade of the 19th century.
* The turn of the century meant that the USA and Germany had overtaken in industrial production strength.
* Followed a policy of "Splendid Isolation" in order to circumvent conflicts with other nations.
* Its great navy meant Britain could not attack, only defend and its Navy was the source of its strength.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Austria-Hungary===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Austria-Hungarian Characteristics c. 1900}}}|Austria-Hungarian Characteristics c. 1900|
* A dual monarchy that had two heavily bureaucratic and inefficient parliaments.
* Lacked military strength and felt national liberation from states within its empire as a consequence of the growing nationalist forces and ambitions rising within Europe.
* The Slavic people strived fro independence from the Ottomans and wished to unite with the Habsburg Empire.
* "A multi-national European empire within the age of nationalism."
* Russia was the great defender of the Slavic people.

<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Russian Characteristics c. 1900}}}|Russian Characteristics c. 1900|
* An autocratic divine monarchy with the Tsar being perceived as having been appointed by God.
* Heavily bureaucratic and ineffective government with rapid (and outdated) industrialisation and large work force classed as peasants.
* Russian revolution of 1905 after the disastrous war against Japan. Nothing improved, Russian people were unhappy at the turn of the century.
* Wanted Slavic nationalism in the Balkans to establish its own influence and wanted to prevent Austro-Hungarian expansion.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Turkey===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Turkish Characteristics c. 1900}}}|Turkish Characteristics c. 1900|
* Turkey was the 'sick man of Europe' whose regime was corrupt and ineffective.
* Many revolts by nationalist and Islamic groups could not be contained and its weakness was exploited for commercial interest by other European powers.
* The Sultan was overthrown in 1909 by the "Young Turks" a group who wished to modernise Turkey.
* Many European Powers saw the slow decay of the Ottoman empire a threat as a result of the "power vacuum" that would occur.
* Emphasis on modernising and promotion of self-government was to occur. Austria-Hungary did not like this.
}}</onlyinclude>
==Long-term causes of World War I==
===Bismarck's web of alliances===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Bismarck's web of alliances}}}|Bismarck's web of alliances|
* After its economic, military, and imperial potential, many powers in Europe began to feel nervous.
* Germany had to consolidate its new position in Europe, and Germany's chancellor '''Otto von Bismarck''' wanted to create a web of alliances to protect Germany from future attack.
* The ''Three Emperors' League (1887)'' or ''Dreikaiserbund'' joined Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary.
* The ''Dual Alliance (1879)'' helped fix the collapsed Dreikaiserbund after Russia came into conflict in the Balkans with Austria-Hungary.
* The ''Three Emperors' Alliance (1881)'' renewed the Dreikaiserbund with Russia.
* The ''Triple Alliance (1882)'' allied Germany with Austria-Hungary and Italy.
* The ''Reinsurance Treaty (1887)'', much like the Dual Alliance, served to piece together problems after problems in the Balkans in 1885.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The New Course and Weltpolitik===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The New Course and Weltpolitik}}}|The New Course and Weltpolitik|
* The young and ambitious new '''Kaiser Wilhelm II''' and new chancellor '''Leo von Caprivi''' took German foreign policy on a 'new course' that would destroy Bismarck's web of alliances.
* German policy makers from the mid 1890s began to look beyond Europe in the hope to make Germany a colonial power with an overseas empire and navy.
* Such policies would divert German population away from social and political problems at home.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Imperialism===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Imperialism}}}|Imperialism|
* One of the major causes of tension between the European powers in 1880–1905 was colonial rivalries.
* The effort of building their empires was initially driven by economic motives (cheap raw materials, new markets, low-cost labour).
* Over time, however, it became a mixture of Social Darwinism.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The emergence of the Alliance System===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The emergence of the Alliance System}}}|The emergence of the Alliance System|
* Weltpolitik brought Germany in to trouble and '''Admiral von Tripitz''', Secretary of State for the Navy shared the Kaiser's beliefs.
* '''von Tripitz''' thought Germany should mount a naval challenge to Britain, and pushed the Naval Law through the Reichstag.
* Britain's position of ''Splendid Isolation'' was no longer appropriate or useful, and sought security through Alliances as a result of its threat to its naval supremacy.
* After Russia, France, and Britain were joined together in the ''Triple Entente'', Germany was 'encircled'.
* Europe was now divided into two main alliance systems; the ''Triple Entente'' and the ''Triple Alliance''.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The naval race===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The naval race}}}|The naval race|
* Britain's threat lead to the launch of a super-battleship known as the HMS Dreadnought.
* The irony of its creation was that it nullified Britain's historical naval advantage as it made all other British battleships obsolete.
* Competitors began constructing similar ships and this triggered a 'naval scare' in the winter of 1908–09.
* The naval race changed the mood in Britain, and as '''Normal Lowe''' observes, ''Britain's willingness to go to war in 1914 owed a lot to the tensions generated by the naval race''.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The situation in the Balkans===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The situation in the Balkans}}}|The situation in the Balkans|
* The Balkans was a very unstable area that contributed to the tension in Europe before 1914.
* Turkey, once ruler of the entire Balkans, was now impotent, and many Serbs, Greeks, and Bulgars had already revolted and set up independent states.
* The Austrians lost grip of their multi-ethnic empire, and Slavs within the country wanted to break away. Serbia was thus seen as a threat to Austria-Hungary.
* Russia saw itself as the champion of the Slav people and wanted the striats of Constantinople to be kept open for ships to move from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.
* A tariff war began in 1905–06 that dragged France in for financial support. The new Russophile King Peter believed an aggressive foreign policy would demonstrate that Austria still had power.
}}</onlyinclude>
==Short-term causes: the crisis years (1905-13)==
===The First Moroccan (Tangier) Crisis (1905)===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The First Moroccan (Tangier) Crisis (1905)}}}|The First Moroccan (Tangier) Crisis (1905)|
* Germany was worried by the new relationship between Britain and France and set to break it.
* As part of the entente, Britain supported a French takeover of Morocco in return for France recognising British Egypt.
* Germany had not gained notable concessions in North Africa, which was a failure for Weltpolitik and a blow for German pride.
* Germany had not undermined the Entente Cordiale - they had strengthened it.
* Several states had considered war as a possible outcome of the crisis, thus signalling an end to the relatively long period of peaceful relations in Europe.
* ''Germany was now seen as the key threat to British interests''.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The Bosnian Crisis (1908)===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The Bosnian Crisis (1908)}}}|The Bosnian Crisis (1908)|
* Following the Tangier Crisis, the Anglo-Russian Entente of 1907 was signed which confirmed conspiracy of 'encirclement' around Germany.
* This fear force Germany and Austria-Hungary into a closer relationship.
* An internal crisis in the Ottoman Empire led Austria-Hungary to annex two provinces of Bosnia, which outrage in Serbia, that caused Germany to stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with its Ally, and recognise the annexation.
* Russia, which had supported Serbia, suffered another international humiliation following its defeat from Japan. This meant that Russia was unlikely to back down from another crisis, in order to retain political stability and international influence.
* Russia began rearming.
* The alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary appeared stronger than commitments of the Triple Entente.
* Germany had opted to encourage Austro-Hungarian expansion.

===The Second Moroccan (Agadir) Crisis (1911)===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The Second Moroccan (Agadir) Crisis (1911)}}}|The Second Moroccan (Agadir) Crisis (1911)|
* Germany misinterpreted a French move in suppressing a revolt that had broken out in Morocco as a takeover; hence making ambitious and assertive claims that was popular back in Germany.
* Germany's 'gunboat diplomacy' was seen as a threat of war by Britain, and '''David Lloyd George''' gave a speech (the ''Mansion House Speech'') to warn Germany off.
* Germany received two strips of the French Congo and increase the tension and hostility between Germany and Britain.
* German public opinion was hostile to the settlement and critical of their government's handling of the crisis; ''a failure of Weltpolitik''.
* The entente between Britain and France was again strengthened.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The First Balkan War (1912)===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The First Balkan War (1912)}}}|The First Balkan War (1912)|
* The Balkan League, forced by the Russians and consisting of Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro, sought to force Turkey from the Balkans by dividing Macedonia.
* Turkey was already weak as a result of the war between Italy over Totalitarian.
* Austria could not accept a stronger Serbia, and Russia would support its ally.
* The nervous '''Sir Edward Grey''', British Foreign Secretary, managed to execute the Balkan Leagues goal and contain Austria-Hungary.
* This agreement, however, still caused resentment.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The Second Balkan War (1913)===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The Second Balkan War (1913)}}}|The Second Balkan War (1913)|
* Due to the spoils of the First Balkan War, a second war broke out in July 1913.
* The Bulgarians felt as though there were to many Bulgarians living in Serbia and Greece, and thus attacked.
* Serbia was again successful. This fact encouraged the already strong nationalist feeling within Serbia.
* Serbia had doubled in size as a result of the two Balkan wars.
* Serbia had proved itself militarily, and had an army of 200,000 men.
* Serbia's victories were diplomatic success for Russia, and encouraged Russia to stand by its ally.
* Austria-Hungary was now convinced that it needed to crush Serbia.
* By association, the outcome of the two wars was a diplomatic defeat for Germany, which now drew ever closer to Austria-Hungary.
}}</onlyinclude>
===The international situation by 1913===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The international situation by 1913}}}|The international situation by 1913|
* The crises of 1905-13 had seen a marked deterioration in international relations.
* Each crisis had passed without a major European war, nevertheless increased tension between the two alliance blocs in Europe and also created greater instability in the Balkans.
* War was by no means inevitable at this stage, however.

===The will to make war===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The will to make war}}}|The will to make war|
* Literature, the press, and education portrayed war as short and heroic.
* Nationalism had become aggressive in major states, and this trend was encouraged by popular press, which exaggerated international incidents.
* '''James Joll''' indicated that "''the reactions of ordinary people in the crisis of 1914 were the result of the history they had learnt at school''".
}}</onlyinclude>
===The arms race and militarism===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|The arms race and militarism}}}|The arms race and militarism|
* Between 1870 and 1914, military spending by European powers increased by 300 percent.
* Although some attempts were made to stop arms build-up, for instance, the '''conference of The Hague in 1899 and 1907'''.
* However, '''no limits''' on production or war practices were agreed upon.
}}</onlyinclude>
===War plans===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|War plans}}}|War plans|
* Every European power made detailed plans regarding what to do should war break out.

* Archduke Franz Ferdinand, symbol of the Austria-Hungarian regime, was assassinated on the 28th of June 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, part of the Black Hand movement.
* Germany came to Austria-Hungary's assistance, and issued a ''blank cheque'' on the 5th of July 1914, that guaranteed unconditional support.
* Austria-Hungary took the opportunity to impose a severe ultimatum on Serbia a month later; hence seeming calculated.
* Serbia accepted all but one term of the harsh ultimatum, however, Austria-Hungary claimed it was too late and declared war on Serbia.
* Russia ordered a general mobilisation (for intimidation and preparation) on the 30th of July; causing Germany to declare war on Russia, and France (upon demands for neutrality that were rejected).
* Germany passed through Belgium to attack France, Britain upheld the 1839 treaty with Belgium and declared war on Germany.

==What was the contribution of each of the European Powers during the July Crisis to the outbreak of war?==
===Germany===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Germany's contribution to the July Crisis}}}|Germany's contribution to the July Crisis|
* The Kaiser had encouraged the Austro-Hungarians to seize the opportunity to attack Serbia on the 5th of July with the Blank Cheque.
* Russia's military modernisations were increasing the country's potential for mobilisation, and this would undermine the Schlieffen Plan.
* German generals, such as '''von Moltke''' believed that it was a favourable time for war.
* War would provide a good distraction, and unifying effect, to overcome rising domestic problems in Germany.
* War would improve the popularity of the Kaiser.
* '''John Lowe''' observed that Russia did not want a major war, and its mobilisation was a sign for preparation rather than the declaration that Germany had misinterpreted.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Austria-Hungary===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Austria-Hungary's contribution to the July Crisis}}}|Austria-Hungary's contribution to the July Crisis|
* Austria-Hungary exaggerated the potential threat of Serbia and saw the assassination as an opportunity to 'eliminate Serbia as a potential factor in the Balkans'.
* It delayed its response to Serbia, and added tension to the July Crisis.
* ''It was the first to declare war'' on Serbia on the 28th of July.
* It refused to halt its military actions though negotiations with Russia were scheduled for the 30th of July.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Russia===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Russia's contribution to the July Crisis}}}|Russia's contribution to the July Crisis|
* Russia wanted to prove itself after its defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, it acted as an ally to support Serbia; thus not restrain Serb nationalism.
* Its mobilisation triggered a general European war.
}}</onlyinclude>
===France===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|France's contribution to the July Crisis}}}|France's contribution to the July Crisis|
* After its ignominious defeat in 1871, it did not want to provoke a general war.
* France was swept into a war, and did not have any say.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Britain===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Britain's contribution to the July Crisis}}}|Britain's contribution to the July Crisis|
* '''Luigi Albertini''' argues that Britain should have never made it clear it would stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with the French which may have deterred the Schlieffen Plan.
* Britain should have made its position clear during the July Crisis.
* '''John Lowe''' points out that Britain's talks with Russia in 1914 confirmed Germany's suspicion of a "ring of encirclement".
}}</onlyinclude>
==Historiography==
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Historiography}}}|Historiography|
* The German Foreign Office was already preparing documents from their archives attempting to prove that all belligerents states were to blame.
* Other governments felt the same urge and produced their own volumes of archives.
* '''Lloyd George, writing in his memoirs in the 1930s, explained that "the nations slithered over the bring into the boiling cauldron of war."'''
* '''S. B. Fay''' and '''H. E. Barnes''' were two American historians who supported the revisions arguments put forward by Germany regarding the causes of World War I.
* '''Luigi Albertini''' wrote a thorough and coherent response to the revisions arguments in the 1940s and put forward Austria-Hungary and Germany as responsible for war in the immediate term.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Fritz Fischer===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Fritz Fischer}}}|Fritz Fischer|
* Fischer's argument focused the responsibility on Germany.
* He discovered the '''September Programme''' written by '''German Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg''', dated 9th of September 1914, which described Germany's aims for dominating Europe.
* He also indicated that the War Council of 1912 proved that Germany planned to launch a continent war in 1914, where ''von Moltke'' had indicated "war is inevitable and sooner the better."
* Fischer's argument is ''persuasive'' as he links longer-term policies from 1897 to short- and immediate-term actions in the July Crisis.
* However, Fischer's arguments have been criticised as a result of his limited evidence of the December War Council.
* Furthermore, it can be argued that German policy lacked coherency in the decade before 1914.
}}</onlyinclude>
===After Fischer===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|After Fischer}}}|After Fischer|
* Conservative German Historian '''Gerhard Ritter''' rejected Fischer's view in the 1960s.
* '''Immanuel Geiss''' Defended Fischer by publishing his own book of German documents undermining the revisionist arguments in the 1920s.

}}</onlyinclude>
===John Keegan===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|John Keegan}}}|John Keegan|
* War was ''not'' inevitable despite the long- and short-term tension in Europe.
* The key to Keegan's theory is the ''lack of communication'' during the July Crisis.
* He indicates that Austria-Hungary wanted to punish Serbia, but lacked the courage to act alone, and this was not communicated.
* Also, Germany had wanted diplomatic success that would leave Austria-Hungary a stronger ally. Germany, also, did not want a full European war.
* Russia only wanted to support Serbia
* France did not mobilise and was worried about Germany
* Britain only awoke to the dangers of the July Crisis on the 25th of July, and hoped Russia could tolerate Serbia's punishments.
* The Serbs had been forgotten after the incompatible nations began to break the tangled web of alliances.
}}</onlyinclude>
===James Joll===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|James Joll}}}|James Joll|
* Joll suggests an atmosphere of intense tension was created by impersonal forces in the long- and short-terms with the personal decisions made in the July Crisis that led to war.
* Personal expansionist aims versus capitalism.
* Various war plans as developed by governments versus international anarchy.
* Calculated decisions versus alliances.
}}</onlyinclude>
===Niall Ferguson===
<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Niall Ferguson}}}|Niall Ferguson|

* He argues that German Social Democrat Party was on a rise and that influenced the Kaiser's regime.
* Britain had misinterpreted German ambitious and decided to act on impede German expansionism.

====Glossary of Grammatical Terms====
As some of you may not have a solid grounding in English grammar, either due to the fault of your educational system or because English is not your first language, it is important to have a solid set of definitions to reference while learning Ancient Greek. I am hoping, ultimately, to link grammatical terms (at least the first time that they appear) to the glossary for your convenience. Alternatively, you can read this section first to make sure you are familiar with the basic structure.
Please note: at the moment, this is an evolving piece of work. Hopefully, it will soon be full of references, but if not please add the necessary entries (or comment asking someone else to add them).
== Noun ==
*'''Basic Definition''': a noun is a person, place, or thing. e.g. ''man'', ''room'', and ''table'' are all nouns.
*Subcategories
**'''Proper noun''': a proper noun refers to a specific person, place, or organization and is indicated by the capitalization of its initial letter; e.g. ''Socrates'', ''Athens'', or the ''Lyceum''.
**'''Abstract Noun''': an abstract noun refers to a concept rather than an actual physical person place, or thing; e.g. ''justice''.
== Adjective ==
*'''Basic Definition''': a descriptor that modifies or is grammatically linked to a noun, e.g. ''red''.
**Adjectives can modify nouns directly (e.g. the ''red'' ball rolls). This is called an '''attributive adjective'''. Alternatively, adjectives can be linked to the noun by a linking verb,<ref>See ''linking verb'' below</ref> e.g. Socrates is ''smart''. In the latter case, ''smart'' is a '''predicate adjective''' (also known as a '''predicate nominative''').
***In English, adjectives modify nouns based upon word order. '''Attributive adjectives''' modify then noun that they directly precede while '''predicate adjectives''' follow a linking verb. In Ancient Greek, the word order does matter, but it is more flexible because Greek is '''inflected''' language. As such, the endings of the words ('''case endings''') establish the relationship between noun and adjective as well as word order. There is still, however, a marked word order difference between '''attributive adjectives''' and '''predicated adjectives''':
****'''Attributive adjectives''' may
*****come between the article and the noun:
*****come after the article when the article follows the noun:
*****come after the article when the article is repeated both before and after the noun:
****'''Predicate adjectives''' may
****come in any other position in the sentence beside one of these three. One common predicate adjective position is as follows:
== Article ==
An article, abbreviated {{sc|art.}}, is any of a small set of words or '''affixes''' (such as ''a(n)'' and ''the'' in English) used with nouns to limit or give '''definiteness''' to the application. These words represent a specific object, depending on the situation, but ''a'' is less specific than ''the''.
Articles combine with nouns to form noun phrases and typically specify the grammatical definiteness of the noun phrase. In English, "''the''" and "''a''" are the definite and indefinite articles, respectively. Ancient Greek articles, however, also carry additional grammatical information such as gender, number, and case of the nouns they accompany, but are '''only definite'''. Articles are part of a broader category called '''determiners''', which also include demonstratives, possessive determiners, and quantifiers.

A pronoun (e.g., ''I, we, thou, you, he, she, it, they'') replaces a noun to avoid repetition. Like nouns, pronouns can refer to people, things, concepts, and places. Most sentences contain at least one noun or pronoun.

====Glossary of Grammatical Terms====
As some of you may not have a solid grounding in English grammar, it is important to have a solid set of definitions to reference while learning Ancient Greek. Grammatical terms are linked to the glossary for your convenience. Alternatively, you can read this section first to make sure you are familiar with the basic structure.
== Noun ==
*'''Definition''': a noun is a person, place, or thing (e.g. ''man'', ''room'', and ''table'').
**'''Common Noun''': general name for nouns. The word ''person'' could refer to any person. The word ''city'' could refer to any city. Common nouns aren’t capitalized unless they’re the first word in a sentence.
**'''Proper Noun''': a proper noun refers to a '''specific''' person, place, or organization and is indicated by the capitalization of its initial letter; e.g. ''Socrates'', ''Athens'', or the ''Lyceum''.
**'''Concrete Noun''': any person, place, thing, or animal that you can '''experience''' with your '''five senses''' (e.g., ''aroma'' is concrete, as you can detect it with smell).
**'''Abstract Noun''': an abstract noun refers to a concept rather than an actual physical person place, or thing; e.g. ''justice''.
**'''Collective Noun''': a word that names a group of people, animals, or things, like a bunch of grapes (ἀσταφίς) or age-mates (ἡλικία).
== Adjective ==
*'''Basic Definition''': a descriptor that modifies or is grammatically linked to a noun, e.g. ''red''.
**Adjectives can modify nouns directly (e.g. the ''red'' ball rolls). This is called an '''attributive adjective'''. Alternatively, adjectives can be linked to the noun by a linking verb,<ref>See ''linking verb'' below</ref> e.g. Socrates is ''smart''. In the latter case, ''smart'' is a '''predicate adjective''' (also known as a '''predicate nominative''').
***In English, adjectives modify nouns based upon word order. '''Attributive adjectives''' modify then noun that they directly precede while '''predicate adjectives''' follow a linking verb. In Ancient Greek, the word order does matter, but it is more flexible because Greek is '''inflected''' language. As such, the endings of the words ('''case endings''') establish the relationship between noun and adjective as well as word order. There is still, however, a marked word order difference between '''attributive adjectives''' and '''predicated adjectives''':
****'''Attributive adjectives''' may
*****come between the article and the noun:
*****come after the article when the article follows the noun:
*****come after the article when the article is repeated both before and after the noun:
****'''Predicate adjectives''' may
****come in any other position in the sentence beside one of these three. One common predicate adjective position is as follows:
== Article ==
An article, abbreviated {{sc|art.}}, is any of a small set of words or '''affixes''' (such as ''a(n)'' and ''the'' in English) used with nouns to limit or give '''definiteness''' to the application. These words represent a specific object, depending on the situation, but ''a'' is less specific than ''the''.
Articles combine with nouns to form noun phrases and typically specify the grammatical definiteness of the noun phrase. In English, "''the''" and "''a''" are the definite and indefinite articles, respectively. Ancient Greek articles, however, also carry additional grammatical information such as gender, number, and case of the nouns they accompany, but are '''only definite'''. Articles are part of a broader category called '''determiners''', which also include demonstratives, possessive determiners, and quantifiers.
== Pronoun ==
A pronoun (e.g., ''I, we, thou, you, he, she, it, they'') replaces a noun to avoid repetition. Like nouns, pronouns can refer to people, things, concepts, and places. Most sentences contain at least one noun or pronoun.
:: '''ἐγὼ''' ἐβᾰ́πτῐσᾰ '''ῡ̔μᾶς''' ῠ̔́δᾰτῐ, '''αὐτὸς''' δὲ βᾰπτῐ́σει '''ὑμᾶς''' ἐν πνεύμᾰτῐ ᾰ̔γῐ́ῳ — '''I''' baptize '''you''' with water, but '''he''' will baptize '''you''' with the Holy Spirit (Mark 1.8).
== Verb ==
A verb is a word that generally conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), an occurrence (happen, become), or a state of being (be, exist, stand). In the usual description of English, the basic form, with or without the particle to, is the infinitive. In many languages, verbs are inflected (modified in form) to encode tense, aspect, mood, and voice. A verb may also agree with the person, gender or number of some of its arguments, such as its subject, or object. In English, three tenses exist: present, to indicate that an action is being carried out; past, to indicate that an action has been done; and future, to indicate that an action will be done, expressed with the auxiliary verb will or shall.
For example:
Lucy will go to school. (action, future)
Mike Trout became the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2014. (occurrence, past)
the Universe is expanding. (state of being, present)
Every language discovered so far makes some form of noun-verb distinction,[1] possibly because of the graph-like nature of communicated meaning by humans, i.e. nouns being the "entities" and verbs being the "links" between them.[2] The word verb comes from Latin verbum 'word or verb' and shares the same Indo-European root as word.[3]

== Adverb ==
An adverb is a word or an expression that generally modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a determiner, a clause, a preposition, or a sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, or level of certainty by answering questions such as how, in what way, when, where, to what extent. This is called the adverbial function and may be performed by an individual adverb, by an adverbial phrase, or by an adverbial clause.
Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech. Modern linguists note that the term adverb has come to be used as a kind of "catch-all" category, used to classify words with various types of syntactic behavior, not necessarily having much in common except that they do not fit into any of the other available categories (noun, adjective, preposition, etc.).[1]

== Conjunction ==
A conjunction is an '''uninflected''' linguistic form that '''joins''' together sentences, '''clauses''', phrases, or words.
Greek conjunctions work like those in English, but they are used much more often and in a more subtle way. Greek tends to connect sentences and clauses rather than separate them. While in English we often mark the end of a sentence with a period, Greek prefers to use conjunctions such as "and", "but", or "therefore" to chain ideas.

A guide to optimising bone strength and preventing osteoporosis for young women.
==Why is bone health important?==
===Osteoporosis===
Why worry about bone health at your age? Isn’t it just old women who become hunched over and frail? Osteoporosis is a condition of the musculoskeletal system in which a person's bones become fragile and brittle, leading to an increased risk of fractures. These fractures can lead to chronic pain, disability and a loss of independence.<ref name="Wahlqvist Food and Nutrition">Wahlqvist, M. L. (2011). Food and nutrition : food and health systems in Australia and New Zealand (3rd Edition ed.). Crows Nest, NSW, Australia: Allen and Unwin.</ref> To help prevent osteoporosis, we need to exercise and nourish our bones throughout our lives.<ref name="Whitney Understanding Nutrition">Whitney, E., Rolfes, S., Crowe, T., Cameron-Smith, D. & Walsh, A. (2011). Understanding Nutrition – Australia and New Zealand Edition. Melbourne: Cengage Learning Australia Pty Limited.</ref> Osteoporosis is a major health problem in Australia; with 1 in 5 women over 65 years developing osteoporosis.<ref name="Australian Health Survey 2012">Australian Health Survey: First Results, 2011-12. (2012). Canberra, ACT: Australian Bureau of Statistics. Retrieved from http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4364.0.55.001chapter3102011-12</ref>
===Changes in Bone Mass – Peak Bone Mass===
[[File:Blond woman runs.JPG|thumb|woman running]]
Our bone strength develops until the age of 25-30 years; we deposit minerals such as calcium into our bones making them dense and strong, this is called our peak bone mass.<ref name="Wahlqvist Food and Nutrition">Wahlqvist, M. L. (2011). Food and nutrition : food and health systems in Australia and New Zealand (3rd Edition ed.). Crows Nest, NSW, Australia: Allen and Unwin.</ref> From the age of approximately 30 years we experience a slow decline in our bone density/strength, this bone loss accelerates after menopause when hormonal changes result in more rapid losses.<ref name="Brown Nutrition Through the Life Cycle">Brown, J. E., & Isaacs, J. S. (2011). Nutrition through the life cycle (4th Edition ed.). Belmont, California, USA: Cengage Learning.</ref> Osteoporosis occurs if our bones lose too much density, so now is the time to build your bones. After you reach your peak bone mass you can only maintain or slow the loss of bone, so start your life with a big ‘bank’ to reduce your risk of developing this crippling disease.
==How can we build and maintain strong bones?==
[[File:Milk glass.jpg|thumb|Milk]]
===What nutrients do we need for strong bones?===
Calcium and Phosphorus play a major role in bone strength, and are of prime importance in the prevention of osteoporosis. These minerals along with Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and others all play a role in building up strong bones.<ref name="Wahlqvist Food and Nutrition">Wahlqvist, M. L. (2011). Food and nutrition : food and health systems in Australia and New Zealand (3rd Edition ed.). Crows Nest, NSW, Australia: Allen and Unwin.</ref> <ref name="Osteoporosis Australia">Osteoporosis Australia. (2013). Calcium. Retrieved from http://www.osteoporosis.org.au/</ref> Consuming adequate amounts of these minerals along with regular weight bearing exercise such as jogging, skipping and aerobics helps us to optimise our bone strength until the age of 30 and then helps to slow the loss of bone density with age.<ref name="Brown Nutrition Through the Life Cycle">Brown, J. E., & Isaacs, J. S. (2011). Nutrition through the life cycle (4th Edition ed.). Belmont, California, USA: Cengage Learning.</ref> <ref name="Whitney Understanding Nutrition">Whitney, E., Rolfes, S., Crowe, T., Cameron-Smith, D. & Walsh, A. (2011). Understanding Nutrition – Australia and New Zealand Edition. Melbourne: Cengage Learning Australia Pty Limited.</ref> <ref name="Osteoporosis Australia">Osteoporosis Australia. (2013). Calcium. Retrieved from http://www.osteoporosis.org.au/</ref>
===How much calcium are we getting?===
The average daily calcium intake of 19-24 year old women falls short of the recommended daily amount by 250mg/day; this is equivalent to the amount of calcium found in approximately 1 cup of milk.<ref name="National Nutrition Survey 1998">ABS. (1998). National Nutrition Survey: Nutrient Intakes and Physical Measurements.

(2012). Food Sources of Nutrients: A Ready Reckoner of Macronutrients, Micronutrients and Phytonutrients. Dr Antigone Kouris-Blazos.</ref>
==How can we get enough calcium in our diet?==
[[File:Broccoli and cross section edit.jpg|thumb|Broccoli]]
[[File:Mandorle sgusciate.jpg|thumb|Almonds]]
Calcium is found predominantly in milk and other dairy foods.<ref name="Kouris Food Sources of Nutrients">Kouris, A. (2012). Food Sources of Nutrients: A Ready Reckoner of Macronutrients, Micronutrients and Phytonutrients. Dr Antigone Kouris-Blazos.</ref> Other sources include bony fish, legumes and certain nuts, fortified soy and other milk alternatives, and fortified breakfast cereals.<ref name="Kouris Food Sources of Nutrients">Kouris, A. (2012). Food Sources of Nutrients: A Ready Reckoner of Macronutrients, Micronutrients and Phytonutrients. Dr Antigone Kouris-Blazos.</ref> It is recommended that we consume 2.5 serves of dairy/alternatives each day to meet our requirements.<ref name="NHMRC Australian Dietary Guidelines 2013">National Health and Medical Research Council.

1 serve is equivalent to:
* 1 cup of milk (250ml);
* 2 slices (40g) of hard cheese, such as cheddar;
* ½ cup (120g) ricotta cheese;
* ¾ cup (200g) yoghurt;
* 1 cup (250ml) soy, rice or other cereal drink with at least 100mg of added calcium per 100ml.

===Tips to optimise calcium absorption===
* Spread your consumption of calcium containing foods out across the day.
* The sugar (lactose) and protein in milk promote calcium absorption; therefore dairy is a great source.
* Absorption is promoted by vitamin D, which is also found in dairy foods.
* Choose calcium fortified products such as cereals, juices and tofu.
* Add in an extra serve of dairy in you day; yoghurt as a snack or a fruit smoothie made with milk are great options.
* Ensure you eat green leafy vegetable such as spinach, kale or broccoli each day.
* Eating a small handful of almonds and dried figs as a snack will add to your calcium intake.

===Foods that reduce calcium absorption===
Avoid eating these foods at the same time as your calcium containing foods:
* Phytic acid containing foods such as cereals and legumes;
* Oxalic acid containing foods such as in spinach, rhubarb, beetroot and tea;<ref name="Wahlqvist Food and Nutrition">Wahlqvist, M. L. (2011). Food and nutrition : food and health systems in Australia and New Zealand (3rd Edition ed.). Crows Nest, NSW, Australia: Allen and Unwin.</ref>
* Caffeine, alcohol and salt increase the amount of calcium lost through urine, therefore limit your consumption of these.
==Milk alternatives: differences and benefits==
There is an extensive variety of milk and milk alternatives on the market and it can become confusing to know what the best option is. All dairy milk alternatives need fortifying to match the nutritional content offered in cow’s milk. So whatever type of milk you consume; it is important to look for one which is fortified with calcium.<ref name="NHMRC Australian Dietary Guidelines 2013">National Health and Medical Research Council. (2013). Australian Dietary Guidelines Summary. Retrieved from Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing : http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/_files_nhmrc/publications/attachments/n55a_australian_dietary_guidelines_summary_book_0.pdf</ref> You can check this by looking at the nutrition information panel on the back of the package and ensuring there is at least 100mg of calcium per 100mls.<ref name="NHMRC Australian Dietary Guidelines 2013">National Health and Medical Research Council. (2013). Australian Dietary Guidelines Summary. Retrieved from Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing : http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/_files_nhmrc/publications/attachments/n55a_australian_dietary_guidelines_summary_book_0.pdf</ref> It is also important in non-dairy varieties to be aware of added sugar and salt. It is best to choose unsweetened options with under 120mg sodium per 100mls. However alternatives to dairy milk do offer benefits such as being lactose and dairy free for those who are intolerant or vegetarian, milks which come from nuts have the added benefit of healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Calcium is one of the most essential minerals recommended for the diet as it is involved various roles and processes within the human body. As well as the imperative role that calcium holds in bone and teeth mineralization, promoting strong and prosperous bones, calcium is also required for the maintenance of cell membranes, enzyme systems and hormone actions. Also, due to its role in nerve function activity and transmission, calcium is a responsible component of muscle contraction, such as that of the heart.
Vitamin D is both a vitamin and a hormone that works in tandem with calcium in the body performing similar functions. For calcium to function correctly it needs Vitamin D and vice versa. Vitamin D is involved in the absorption and metabolism of calcium and other micronutrients. Like Calcium, Vitamin D helps with bone and teeth formation and helps to maintain a stable nervous system and healthy heart. It also functions in immunity and regulating blood pressure.

==The Role of Calcium==
Calcium plays an essential role in bone structure and maintenance, providing the body with its framework. Around 99 per cent of the body’s calcium is stored in bones and teeth and the remaining 1 per cent can be found circulating in the blood and in cells. The calcium existing in the blood is tightly controlled and the bones provide a readily available source of calcium when body is in need. This means that when blood-calcium levels drop, the blood ‘borrows’ calcium from the bones to restore it to an appropriate level. When blood-calcium levels increase, the blood will ‘return’ any excess calcium back to the bones. Therefore, when calcium intake is consistently inadequate, calcium stores in the bone become depleted. This results in weaker bones which are susceptible to [[https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Healthy_eating_habits/Osteoporosis_and_Diversifying_Daily_Calcium_Intake Osteoporosis]]. It is extremely important to consume adequate amounts of calcium-containing foods to ensure strong and healthy bones.
==What Constitutes A Serve?==
The Australian Guide to Healthy eating recommendations [https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/sites/default/files/files/the_guidelines/n55g_adult_brochure_print.pdf (AGHE)] 2 1/2 serves of dairy like milk, yogurt and cheese (mostly reduced fat alternatives) every day for people aged 19-50 years old and this is the same for both males and females. This equates to 1000mg of calcium per day.
===Calcium Serve===
Sources of calcium can be either dairy or non-diary, so even a vegan or someone who just doesn't like dairy products can ensure they meet their daily requirements.
====Dairy Sources====
[[File:Cheese.jpg|thumb|Cheese]]
* 80g of cheese (2 slices) - Cheddar, Swiss or ricotta
* 1 cup of Milk
* 3/4 cup of yogurt
====Non-Dairy Sources====
* 1 cup of green leafy vegetables e.g. kale, bok choy, spinach or silverbeet.
* 15g of chia seeds
* 1/4 cup of almonds
===Vitamin D Serve===
The best source of Vitamin D is of course, the sun! To ensure adequate Vitamin D intake each day it is good to spend at least 20-30 minutes in the sun each day.
[[File:"Sun".JPG|thumb|The Sun]]
Foods rich in Vitamin D include:
* 90g of cooked salmon
* 90 of sardines (including bones)
* 1 egg
==Tips For Extra Vitamin D==
[[File:Lunch for sketchers (8745619532).jpg|thumb|People eating outside)]]
* Coming into work earlier or staying back a little later to walk around the block if the sun is out
* Walk around the office block during the lunch break
* Eat lunch outside
==Interactions and Interferences==
Some nutrients aren’t absorbed as well if taken with calcium. Calcium can reduce iron absorption by as much as 50 percent. However, calcium only interferes with non-heme iron, which comes from plant-based foods, not with heme iron, found in meat.
When it comes to calcium, fibre also binds to the mineral, reducing its absorption. Studies have found that wheat fibre reduces calcium absorption by about half. If you are the type of person who aims to get a jump-start on fulfilling their recommended daily intake of fibre and calcium with your bowl of breakfast cereal, choose cereals primarily oats or other grains since they do not seem to block the absorption calcium.
==Supplementation & fortification==
Sometimes, depending on the levels of calcium and Vitamin D in the body, it may be necessary take a supplement. Before using any supplementation it is important to refer to a doctor first.

|cap=''Rubus laciniatus''
|'''Sect. ''Rubus''''' contains somewhat invasive Old World species of ''Rubus'' subg. ''Rubus''. The primary species of this section in New York State is ''Rubus laciniatus'' ('''cutleaf blackberry''').
The rare-in-NY but possibly naturalizing and invasive '''Himalayan blackberry''' (''Rubus bifrons'' and/or ''Rubus armeniacus''), listed in the New York Flora Atlas only in Bronx and Staten Island (2008), are treated as a single species (''R. bifrons'') by the Flora of North America. However in Eurasia, they appear to be two distinct species. iNaturalist allows both species, following Kew's POWO, and both have a significant number of research-grade observations in North America.

|The New York members of the Colurieae tribe include about ten species of the genus '''''Geum''''' (avens) and a single species of '''''Waldsteinia''''' (barren strawberry). Modern phylogenetic evidence, including studies by Protopopova et al. (2022, 2023), supports treating ''Waldsteinia fragarioides'' as a separate genus rather than combining it under ''Geum'' <ref>M V Protopopova et al 2021 IOP Conf. Ser.: Earth Environ. Sci. 908 012027 [https://iop.org DOI 10.1088/1755-1315/908/1/012027]</ref><ref>Protopopova, Marina, et al. 2023. "Waldsteinia within Geum s.l.

Fundamental justice requires that a tribunal which adjudicates upon rights must act fairly, in good faith, without bias and in a judicial temper, and must give the opportunity for parties to adequately state their case.<ref>Singh, [1985] 1 SCR 177, at 212.</ref> The standards of conduct for the Board are fundamentally based on and recognize two principles: (i) that public confidence and trust in the integrity, objectivity and impartiality of the <abbr>IRB</abbr> must be conserved and enhanced; and (ii) that independence in decision-making is required.<ref>Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, ''Code of Conduct for Members of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada,'' Effective Date: April 9, 2019, <https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/members/Pages/MemComCode.aspx> (Accessed May 3, 2020), at section 5.</ref> This section of the book will explore the principles that have been used when interpreting these requirements in the refugee context.
== Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure as derived from caselaw ==
The following are some of the principal principles regarding the interpretation and application of procedural fairness as they have emerged in the refugee context caselaw:
=== Principles of statutory interpretation ===
As a starting point, a decision-maker interpreting a statutory provision shall examine the text, context and purpose.<ref>''Benchwood Builders, Inc v Prescott,'' 2025 ONCA 171 (March 6, 2025), para. 5.</ref> They shall do so by applying what is termed the “modern principle” of statutory interpretation, that is, that the words of a statute must be read “in their entire context and in their grammatical and ordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the Act, the object of the Act, and the intention of Parliament”.<ref>''Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov'', 2019 SCC 65, [2019] 4 SCR 653 at para. 117. </ref> A full discussion of statutory interpretation is beyond the scope of this text. Some brief comments may suffice:
* '''Ordinary sense of the words:''' Where the words of a statutory provision are precise and unequivocal, the ordinary meaning of the words will play a dominant role in the interpretive process.<ref>''Canada Trustco Mortgage Co. v. Canada'', 2005 SCC 54 at para. 10.</ref> Legislative purpose alone cannot justify a departure from the express language of a provision.<ref>''Dow Chemical Canada ULC v Canada'', 2024 SCC 23 at para 101.</ref> Where, however, words in a statutory provision are capable of supporting more than one reasonable meaning, the ordinary meaning of the words plays a lesser role in the statutory interpretation analysis.<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Weldemariam,'' 2024 FCA 69 (CanLII), at para 84, <https://canlii.ca/t/k419v#par84>, retrieved on 2024-06-12.</ref> Where there are two plausible interpretations of a provision, the one that better connects to the purpose of a provision should be preferred.<ref>''McBratney v McBratney'', 1919 CanLII 42 (SCC) (per Duff J).</ref>
* '''The words of a statute must be read harmoniously with the scheme of the Act.''' A Division must not take extra-statutory powers. Equally, however, it must not decline to hear matters where Parliament has afforded that right.<ref>''Rebelo v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1738 (CanLII), at para 95, <https://canlii.ca/t/kg73r#par95>, retrieved on 2025-11-10.</ref>
* '''The presumption of consistent or uniform expression.''' The principle of "uniformity of expression" states that a word or phrase should have one and only one meaning across the statute and enabled regulation. Giving the same words the same meaning through a statute is a basic principle of statutory interpretation.<ref>''R v Zeolkowski'', 1989 CanLII 72 (SCC), [1989] 1 SCR 1378 at p 1387.</ref> The opposite is also true, the use of different wording implies a different meaning.<ref>''Maurice v Priel'', 1987 CanLII 207 (SK CA), 46 DLR (4th) 416, ''per'' Bayda CJ, at pp. 20-21.</ref> One of the doctrines that may arise is that statutes ''in pari materia'' (i.e., statutes on the same subject or matter) should be construed harmoniously.<ref>''Sharbern Holding Inc. v. Vancouver Airport Centre Ltd.,'' 2011 SCC 23, [2011] 2 SCR 175 at para. 117.</ref> See, e.g., [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Privacy Act]]. However, one should not introduce "unnecessary complications and subtleties by placing undue emphasis on minor differences in the drafting of legislative texts".<ref>''Nsau c. Canada (Citoyenneté et Immigration),'' 2025 CF 2028 (CanLII), at para 28, <https://canlii.ca/t/kh841#par28>, retrieved on 2026-01-08.</ref>
* '''''Expressio unius est exclusio alterius'''''. This maxim of statutory interpretation means that the expression of one thing is the exclusion of another. For example, when the legislature expressly codifies only part of the law relating to a matter, the Court may rely on implied exclusion reasoning to conclude that the part of the law not expressly mentioned was meant to be excluded.<ref>''Nazifpour v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) (F.C.A.),'' 2007 FCA 35 (CanLII), [2007] 4 FCR 515, at para 20, <https://canlii.ca/t/1qg9c#par20>, retrieved on 2024-05-24.</ref> In other words, whenever there is reason to believe that the legislature intended to include a particular element in its legislation, the courts may expect it would have referred to that element expressly.<ref>''Tesfaye v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 2040 (CanLII), at para 41, <https://canlii.ca/t/k8d50#par41>, retrieved on 2024-12-17.</ref>
* '''In refugee law, the exceptions to the refugee regime should be interpreted restrictively.'''<ref>Júlia Zomignani Barboza, International Protection for Criminals: To Grant or Not to Grant? Lessons from Australia, Belgium, and Canada, ''International Journal of Refugee Law'', 2024, eeae026, https://doi.org/10.1093/ijrl/eeae026, at page 21.</ref> The strict interpretation principle resolves ambiguities in favour of the applicant in provisions negatively affecting their refugee status.<ref>''Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) v Heidari Gezik'', 2015 FC 1268 at para 61.</ref> An administrative interpretation must consider the potentially harsh consequences of its interpretation of a statutory provision for a large class of individuals, and whether, in light of those consequences, the legislature would have intended the provision to apply in that way.<ref>''Mason v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)'', 2023 SCC 21 at para 69.</ref> Provisions negatively affecting the status of refugees are to be strictly construed.<ref>''Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) v Heidari Gezik'', 2015 FC 1268 at para 51.</ref> The decision maker is obligated not simply to explain why the decision is consistent with legislative intention, but why the decision best reflects legislative intention. This means that if there is an option that is respectful of other constraints but carries less harsh consequences, a decision maker should explain why that option was not pursued.<ref>''Kimotho v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1719 (CanLII), at para 35, <https://canlii.ca/t/kg2vz#par35>, retrieved on 2025-10-27.</ref>
* '''Presumption against tautology.''' There is a presumption that Parliament has not included words in a statute which are superfluous and redundant.<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Weldemariam,'' 2024 FCA 69 (CanLII), at para 90, <https://canlii.ca/t/k419v#par90>, retrieved on 2024-06-12.</ref>
* '''Presumption against surplusage.''' To interpret different provisions within a legislative scheme in a manner that renders those provisions duplicative or serving the same purpose is inconsistent with the presumption against surplusage.<ref>''R v Proulx'', 2000 SCC 5 at para 28; ''Slepcsik v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1840 (CanLII), at para 158, <https://canlii.ca/t/kgkv2#par158>, retrieved on 2025-12-01.</ref>
* '''Presumption against absurdity or arbitrary results.''' The modern approach to statutory interpretation must account for any absurd consequences.<ref name=":26">''Rebelo v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1738 (CanLII), at para 78, <https://canlii.ca/t/kg73r#par78>, retrieved on 2025-11-10.</ref> The legislature does not intend to produce absurd consequences.<ref>''Rizzo & Rizzo Shoes Ltd (Re)'', 1998 CanLII 837 (SCC), [1998] 1 SCR 27 at para 27.</ref> The ''IRPA'' is a comprehensive piece of legislation with a sequence of remedies in place, and Parliament must have intended those remedies to have a purpose and be efficacious.<ref>''Pepa v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 SCC 21 (CanLII), at para 106, <https://canlii.ca/t/kcwlj#par106>, retrieved on 2025-06-28.</ref> The scheme of the IRPA is to ensure that two decision makers cannot make incompatible or the same ruling, in the alternative or otherwise, on the same issue on the same facts.<ref>''Singh v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2015 FC 1415 (CanLII), [2016] 3 FCR 248, at para 52, <https://canlii.ca/t/gn1jt#par52>, retrieved on 2025-07-26, affirmed by the Federal Court of Appeal.</ref>
* '''The existence of harsh consequences.''' The modern approach to statutory interpretation must account for any harsh consequences.<ref name=":26" />
* '''Interpretation Act.''' Other relevant principles of statutory interpretation are those arising from the ''Interpretation Act'', such as the presumptive rule in section 11 of the ''Interpretation Act'' that “may” is permissive<ref>''Virani v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2017 FC 1083 (CanLII), at para 9, <https://canlii.ca/t/hp4hx#par9>, retrieved on 2024-03-17.</ref> and section 14, which provides that marginal notes and headings do not form part of a statute, and are inserted only for ease of reference (that said, it is nevertheless permissible to consider them as part of the interpretative process, although they may be accorded lesser weight than other interpretive aids).<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Weldemariam,'' 2024 FCA 69 (CanLII), at para 96, <https://canlii.ca/t/k419v#par96>, retrieved on 2024-06-12.</ref>
* '''Subordinate legislation: the relationship between the rules, regulations, and Act.''' Some of the RPD and RAD rules are said to be merely procedural ones which cannot circumscribe the broad decision-making authority of a Division as described in the IRPA.<ref>''Al-Lamy v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 1621, para. 21.</ref>
* '''''Stare decisis.''''' Only in exceptional circumstances should a well-established interpretation of a statutory provision be abandoned.<ref>''Rahaman v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)'' (C.A.), 2002 FCA 89 (CanLII), [2002] 3 FC 537, at para 26, <https://canlii.ca/t/4jbr#par26>, retrieved on 2025-10-27.</ref>
* '''Hansard.''' On the relevance of Hansard, the Federal Court of Appeal has commented that the authentic meaning of the legislation is the law, not what some politicians may have said about it at some place, at some time, for whatever reason.<ref>''Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc v Canada (Attorney General)'', 2021 FCA 157, para. 53.</ref>
* '''Presumption against retroactivity.''' A retroactive statue is a statue that operates backwards, changing the law from what it was before that statue came into effect. In comparison, a retrospective statue operates forwards, it does not change what the law was before that statue come into effect, but it attaches new consequences to an event occurred before that statue come into effect.<ref>''Zeng v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)'', 2019 FC 1586 (CanLII), <https://canlii.ca/t/j3wnm>, retrieved on 2025-12-18, para. 25</ref> There is a strong presumption against interpreting legislation as being retroactive, because the rule of law requires that people be able to order their affairs in light of an established legal order.<ref>''R. v. Albashir'', 2021 SCC 48 (CanLII), [2021] 3 SCR 531, <https://canlii.ca/t/jkhxp>, retrieved on 2025-12-18, para. 35</ref> However, the rule of law does not ''prohibit'' retroactive and/or retrospective legislation.<ref>''Ibid.''</ref> When the legislature clearly expresses the intention of applying a statue retroactively/retrospectively, or the statue cannot be reasonably interpreted otherwise, then the statute must be effective according to its terms, even though retrospective and/or retroactive legislation can overturn settled expectations and be perceived as unjust.<ref>''Hamami v. Canada'' (Citizenship and Immigration), 2022 FC 222 (CanLII), <https://canlii.ca/t/jmkh0>, retrieved on 2025-12-18 at para. 47</ref>
=== Principles about the expectations that one reasonably has of the Board ===
*'''First, the Board should do no harm.''' The Board commits in the ''Instructions for Gathering and Disclosing Information for Refugee Appeal Division Proceedings'' that "the assigned member will request specific information about the person who is the subject of the appeal and use such information only when they have completed a risk assessment and are satisfied that there is no serious possibility that gathering the information would endanger the life, liberty or security of the person who is the subject of the appeal or any other person."<ref>Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, ''Instructions for Gathering and Disclosing Information for Refugee Appeal Division Proceedings'', Effective: May 30, 2016, <https://irb.gc.ca/en/legal-policy/policies/Pages/InstRadSpr0516.aspx> (Accessed October 2, 2023), section D.</ref> This is a general principle that applies to many similar information-gathering functions. For example, in all circumstances and at all times, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights staff have an obligation not to jeopardize the life, safety, freedom and well-being of victims, witnesses and other cooperating persons.<ref>United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, ''Manual on human rights monitoring: Chapter 14 (Protection of victims, witnesses and other cooperating persons),''<https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Publications/Chapter14-56pp.pdf>, page 8.</ref> The same obligation may reasonably extend to staff of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. That said, there are legal protections against criminal and civil claims provided that the Board acts in good faith: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/156 - Immunity and no summons]].
*'''A high duty of procedural fairness is owed in the refugee context.''' The Federal Court of Appeal has stated that “The independence of the Board, its adjudicative procedure and functions, and the fact that its decisions affect the Charter rights of claimants, indicate that the content of the duty of fairness owed by the Board, including the duty of impartiality, falls at the high end of the continuum of procedural fairness.”<ref name=":0">''Geza v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2006 FCA 124, para. 53.</ref> For more detail, see: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#The fact that Charter rights are at play in Board proceedings means that the extent of procedural fairness owed to claimants is high]].
*'''The tribunal and its procedures should be as accessible as possible.'''<ref name=":2">S. Ronald Ellis, ''The Corporate Responsibility of Tribunal Members'', Canadian Journal of Administrative Law & Practice, February 2009, 22 Can. J. Admin.

*'''It is not the Board's role to provide legal advice to claimants.''' The RPD states that its registry can answer general questions but they cannot provide advice about what parties should put into their forms (legal advice).<ref name=":25" /> In ''Sundaram v. Canada'' the Federal Court stated that it was "not prepared to read into the immigration scheme an obligation on officials to give advice on practice and procedures. The situation of giving advice is markedly different from those Court decisions which have held that officials must provide prospective applicants with the necessary forms. People are entitled to government forms; they are not entitled to receive free legal advice from RPD officials."<ref>''Sundaram v.

*'''The tribunal's decisions should follow the law.''' Cases should be decided based on all of the law that binds the Board, not just the law that the parties happen to put in front of a panel.<ref>''Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) et al. v. The Canadian Council for Refugees et al.,'' 2021 FCA 72, para. 125.</ref> Panels are to follow all legal and procedural requirements, and when reviewing the conduct of another panel, there is a "presumption of regularity", a presumption which can only be rebutted with "convincing evidence".<ref>''Varela v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2017 FC 1157 [Barnes J].</ref> See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/The right to be heard and the right to a fair hearing#Decisions must follow the law]]. This tracks Canada's international obligations; the International Court of Justice has held that a panel is not limited to the arguments submitted by the parties and the panel is deemed to take judicial notice of the law and is therefore required to consider on its own initiative all rules which may be relevant.<ref>Alain Pellet, Judicial Settlement of International Disputes, ''Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law'', July 2013, <https://prawo.uni.wroc.pl/sites/default/files/students-resources/law-9780199231690-e54-1.pdf> (Accessed September 30, 2022).</ref> See also: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rule 22 - Specialized Knowledge#IRPA s. 170: The Division may take notice of any facts that may be judicially noticed]].
*'''The tribunal should develop its own jurisprudence.''' Within the limits of the law, the Federal Court has commented that it is important that the Board have the possibility of developing its own jurisprudence.<ref>''M.C.I v. Huruglica,'' 2016 FCA 93 (C.A.F.), para. 74.</ref> The academics Diesen, et. al., argue that for appeal bodies to function effectively, it is not enough that higher bodies occasionally correct lower decisions: there must be a systematic and pedagogical ambition in the reasoning of the higher bodies, in order to guide lower authorities towards consistent practice.<ref>Andersson, S., Diesen, C., Lagerqvist Veloz Roca, A., Seidlitz, M., & Wilton Wahren, A.

*'''The Board’s procedures should be predictable.''' The Board states that Members should endeavour to be aware of how other panels have been dealing with issues and, where possible, try to do the same as a means of promoting consistency of procedures in the Refugee Division.<ref name=":23">Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.

*'''The Board must not fault parties for its own deficiencies.''' For example, in ''Huseen v. Canada'', the government pointed out that the IRB Office in Toronto only received a venue change request one day before the abandonment hearing. The court commented "this speaks to the internal communications between regional offices at the IRB, as the Calgary IRB office was handed the change of venue request, in person, about three weeks prior. It would be unfair to fault the Applicants for the Board’s delay in internal communications, over which the Applicants had no control or influence."<ref>''Huseen v.

=== Principles about the manner in which the Board is to proceed ===
The ''Code of Conduct for Members of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada'' is based on the <abbr>IRB</abbr>'s dedication to the following values - honesty, good faith, fairness, accountability, dignity, respect, transparency, openness, discretion, cultural sensitivity and loyalty.<ref>Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, ''Code of Conduct for Members of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada,'' Effective Date: April 9, 2019, <https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/members/Pages/MemComCode.aspx> (Accessed May 3, 2020), at section 6.</ref> These values should be evinced by all of the Board's conduct and decisions. In particular:
*'''Justice must be seen to be done.''' The Board has an institutional responsibility to ensure that the tribunal's adjudication is both actually performed at an optimum level of competency, fairness and objectivity and is perceived to have been so performed.<ref name=":2" /> A tension exists between the imperative to be efficient and work rapidly through multiple cases on the one hand, and the imperative to be considered, deliberative, and just on the other (and to be seen to be so).<ref>Hambly, J. and Gill, N. (2020), Law and Speed: Asylum Appeals and the Techniques and Consequences of Legal Quickening. J. Law Soc., 47: 3-28. doi:10.1111/jols.12220.</ref> The first set of considerations must not undermine respect for the second sort. For example, in one hearing where the Refugee Protection Division had double-booked a Member, who then tried to complete two hearings in the time ordinarily allotted to one, the court commented as follows: "while I find it commendable from an efficiency standpoint that the Member was prepared to deal with both matters, the aura of urgency that pervaded the hearing undermined the process. A reading of the transcript suggests some sense of impatience and concern on the part of the Member about being able to complete the hearing."<ref>''Guylas v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2015 FC 202 (CanLII), para. 39.</ref>
*'''Parties can expect consistency and the Board should decide like cases in the same manner.''' The principle of judicial comity provides that judges of the same court should follow earlier decisions rendered by judges of that court, although those earlier decisions are not binding on the judge. The same principle applies to decisions made by members of the same Division of the IRB. For example, the Federal Court holds that a Division's rules apply equally to all parties and there is no basis to hold parties to differing standards in different administrative proceedings.<ref>''Abi-Mansour v Canada (Passport)'', 2015 FC 363, and ''Qita v Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council'', 2020 FC 671.</ref> For more details about consistency in decision-making, see: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/The right to be heard and the right to a fair hearing#Decision-making should be predictable and consistent across the Board]].
*'''The Board's procedures should not be restricted to the judicial paradigm.''' The courts have recognized that administrative agencies such as the IRB "are often required to be procedurally innovative in order to handle a heavy caseload effectively and to make the most efficient use of scarce resources."<ref>''Geza v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' [2006] FCJ No 477 at para 1 (CA).</ref> The Board’s procedure "should not be confined in a model of due process that draws exclusively on the judicial paradigm and discourages innovation. Nonetheless, procedures designed to increase quality and consistency cannot be adopted at the expense of the duty of each panel to afford to the claimant before it a high degree of impartiality and independence."<ref>''Kozak v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2006 FCA 124 (CanLII), [2006] 4 FCR 377, para. 56.</ref> For example, the court has held that "A hearing held by the Board should not be turned into a trial. The consequences that attach to these hearings are serious and the measure of procedural fairness must be commensurate. However, it does not reach the level of disclosure found in criminal law, for instance."<ref>''Razburgaj v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2014 FC 151 (CanLII), par. 19, <http://canlii.ca/t/g34tl#par19>, retrieved on 2020-04-01.</ref>
*'''Administrative convenience should not override fundamental justice''', which includes procedural fairness.<ref>''Singh v. Canada'', 1985 1 SCR 177.</ref> Asylum adjudication is situated within administrative law structures, where tensions between values such as efficiency and economy are precariously balanced with fairness and justice.<ref>Hambly, J. and Gill, N. (2020), Law and Speed: Asylum Appeals and the Techniques and Consequences of Legal Quickening. J. Law Soc., 47: 3-28. doi:10.1111/jols.12220.</ref> As noted by Lord Dyson in his 2015 decision condemning the so‐called Detained Fast Track (DFT) in the United Kingdom, "justice and fairness should not be sacrificed on the altar of speed and efficiency".<ref>''The Lord Chancellor'' v. ''Detention Action'' [2015] EWCA Civ 840 para. 49. Practical difficulties and complexities of the DFT undermined appellants’ rights to participate fully and effectively in their appeal processes, leading to a finding that the system operated too quickly to be considered lawful, and was ‘systemically unfair and unjust’, as discussed in Hambly, J. and Gill, N. (2020), Law and Speed: Asylum Appeals and the Techniques and Consequences of Legal Quickening. J. Law Soc., 47: 3-28. doi:10.1111/jols.12220.</ref> Instead, as Canada's Federal Court holds, the Board “… is required to strike a balance between expeditious proceedings on the one hand and procedural fairness or natural justice on the other.”<ref>''Pillai v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2001 FCT 1417, [2002] 3 FC 481.</ref>
*'''The rules should not be interpreted in a way that is overly rigid.''' The courts have held that when interpreting the Refugee Protection Division rules, one must "avoid the mire of procedural dogma"<ref>''Andreoli v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2004 FC 1111 (CanLII), para. 16.</ref> as "procedure should be the servant of justice, not its mistress".<ref>''Hamel v. Brunelle and Labonté,'' 1975 CanLII 1 (SCC), [1977] 1 SCR 147.</ref> Another way of putting this is that rules of procedure are rather servants and "not authoritarian or dictatorial masters".<ref>E. Lauterpacht, Principles of Procedure in International Law, 345 Receuil des Cours 387, 430 (2009). </ref> The Federal Court has stated that "the door should not slam shut on all those who fail to meet ordinary procedural requirements. Such a restrictive reading would undermine Canada’s commitment to its refugee system and underlying international obligations".<ref>''Huseen v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2015 FC 845 (CanLII), par. 16, <<nowiki>http://canlii.ca/t/gkmz2#par16</nowiki>>, retrieved on 2020-03-11.</ref> The court has gone on to note that "the opportunity to free a family from the scourge of persecution should not rest on an overly rigid application of procedural requirements."<ref>''Huseen v.

*'''Claimants are entitled to representation and rules should be relaxed for unrepresented litigants.''' The representation of refugee claimants is described as “an expression of a fundamental constitutional and common law value: that individuals facing complicated legal proceedings with serious consequences should be allowed to be represented so as to ensure that there is a full and fair hearing.”<ref>Martin David Jones and Sasha Baglay. ''Refugee Law (Second Edition)''.

The reliability of evidence is to be determined in the light of all of the evidence in a particular case.

=== Principles about the expectations that one reasonably has of the Minister ===
* '''The Minister has a particular duty of candour'''. The Federal Court states that frankness can be expected of the Minister and that the Minister has a duty of candour.<ref>''Oladipupo v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2024 FC 921 (CanLII), at paras 36 and 40, <https://canlii.ca/t/k5thz#par36>, retrieved on 2024-08-27.</ref> This will prevent, for example, withholding relevant and exculpatory evidence and misrepresenting its existence.<ref>''Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) v. Shen,'' 2025 FC 756, para. 37.</ref> See further: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/The right to be heard and the right to a fair hearing#Disclosure rights and obligations for the Minister]]. For the duty of candour that applies to claimants, see the section above. See also the discussion above regarding rules on ''ex parte'' proceedings where the Minister is not participating in a case and how these may impose special obligations on counsel. For example, the Law Society of BC’s rule states that “In an ''ex parte'' proceeding, a lawyer must act with utmost good faith and inform a tribunal of all material facts, including adverse facts, known to the lawyer that will enable the tribunal to make an informed decision.”<ref name=":24" />
* '''The good faith of counsel and immigration officers can be presumed.''' There is a long line of jurisprudence from the Federal Court holding that most immigration officers have no vested interest in the outcome of a claim and their official records and actions can generally be relied upon.<ref>''Saifullah v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2023 FC 1060 (CanLII), at para 35, <https://canlii.ca/t/jzgzf#par35>, retrieved on 2023-09-07.</ref> Similarly, counsel are under professional obligations to act with good faith. For example, the Law Society of Ontario's Rules of Professional Conduct provide that when acting as an advocate, “a lawyer shall represent the client resolutely and honourably within the limits of the law while treating the tribunal with candour, fairness, courtesy, and respect”.<ref>''Anulur v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2023 FC 1070 (CanLII), at para 41, <https://canlii.ca/t/jzgzs#par41>, retrieved on 2023-12-28.</ref>
* '''The Minister will protect privacy in any investigations that it undertakes.''' See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/166 - Proceedings must be held in the absence of the public#What are uses consistent with the purpose for which information is obtained in the refugee context?]].
* '''Minister’s delegates may be delegated discretion and should not have that discretion fettered.''' The Minister delegates its power to different officers who have different roles in different stages of a file and before different administrative bodies. For example, in ''Uba v. Canada'' the court accepted that a hearing officer’s reasons and opinions consenting to an IAD appeal were not binding on the visa officer ultimately deciding the case. The hearing officer did not, and could not, fetter the discretion of a subsequent administrative decision-maker in charge of deciding the sponsorship application. The ultimate decision to consider all relevant factors, as the case was presented to them, rested with the Officer. Different officers discharging their duties on different matters are not in an authoritative or binding position vis-à-vis each other.<ref>''Uba v.

Practicing law is an honour and a privilege but it comes with significant responsibilities.<ref>''Diakité v. Canada (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship),'' 2024 FC 170 (CanLII), at para 50, <https://canlii.ca/t/k2p18#par50>, retrieved on 2024-10-01.</ref> Of note:
*'''Counsel should be presumed to have acted competently.''' There is a strong presumption that former counsel’s conduct fell within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance.<ref>''Satkunanathan v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2020 FC 470 (CanLII), par. 87, <http://canlii.ca/t/j65bj#par87>, retrieved on 2020-04-17.</ref> While this presumption of competency can be applied, the court cautions that it is inappropriate to make findings on the basis of inferences from the experience and expertise of particular counsel, just as it would be inappropriate for the RPD to ask applicants (or their counsel) about such privileged matters directly.<ref>''Anulur v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2023 FC 1070 (CanLII), at para 34, <https://canlii.ca/t/jzgzs#par34>, retrieved on 2023-12-28.</ref> However, other Federal Court panels have concluded that it is appropriate to consider that an applicant was represented by experienced counsel.<ref>''Mercado v.

*'''Counsel will have explained at least the basic tenets of a refugee claim to their client.''' The Federal Court has held that, "absent contrary evidence, it is reasonable to expect that a legal representative has explained at least the basic tenets of a refugee claim to their client. This includes the obligation to provide acceptable documentation regarding the refugee claim, including as to identity, the onus on the claimant to prove their claim, and the need to put their “best foot forward” to do so."<ref>''Zerihaymanot, Brhane Ghebrihiwet, v. M.C.I.'' (F.C., no. IMM-3077-21), McHaffie, April 26, 2022; 2022 FC 610.</ref> See further: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rules 14-16 - Counsel of Record#1) Incompetence]].
*'''Deficiencies in counsel's conduct are properly attributed to their clients.''' The Federal Court has held that in immigration matters, "the jurisprudence is clear that applicants have to provide complete and accurate information and are bound by the submissions made by those who represent them in the process".<ref name=":5" /> The general rule is that you do not separate counsel's conduct from their client. Counsel is acting as agent for the client and, as harsh as it may be, the client must bear the consequences of having hired poor counsel.<ref>''Jouzichin v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)'' (1994), 52 ACWS (3d) 157, 1994 CarswellNat 1592.</ref> This principle is reflected in the instructions in the Basis of Claim form that every claimant receives as part of the claimant process, which note that "If you have counsel, you are responsible for making sure that your counsel meets the deadlines."<ref>Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, ''Basis of Claim Form'', November 2012 Version <<nowiki>https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/forms/Documents/RpdSpr0201_e.pdf</nowiki>>, Appendix page 2.</ref> In most instances, reliance on legal advice will not excuse a failure to submit significant information in support of a claim.<ref>''Shirzad v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2022 FC 89 (CanLII), at para 37, <https://canlii.ca/t/jm412#par37>, retrieved on 2022-07-22.</ref> That said, there are exceptions to this principle where counsel’s conduct falls sufficiently below the standard expected of competent counsel: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rules 14-16 - Counsel of Record#In what contexts will counsel incompetence render a hearing unfair?]]. In exceptional cases, the Court has found an applicant should not be liable for the actions of their representative, however this is only where the applicant acted reasonably or with sufficient due diligence or care.<ref>''Grewal v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1686 (CanLII), at para 9, <https://canlii.ca/t/kftdf#par9>, retrieved on 2025-10-14.</ref> As the Federal Court held in ''Glowacki v. Canada'', no slip or mistake of counsel should be permitted to bring about a miscarriage of justice.<ref name=":21" />
*'''Counsel have a duty of candour and the tribunal should be able to trust and rely on the representations made by them.''' It is said that in court, judges ought to be able to rely on the representations that counsel make as officers of the Court.<ref>''Sachdeva v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 1522 (CanLII), at para 34, <https://canlii.ca/t/k71jm#par34>, retrieved on 2024-10-01.</ref> Tribunal members may expect no less of counsel. As the court noted in ''Diakité v Canada,'' our justice system functions in large part because the Court expects to be able to trust and rely on the representations made by officers of the Court.<ref>''Diakité v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)'', 2024 FC 170 at paragraph 48.</ref> The same may also be said of tribunal members and the reliance they place on the representations made by counsel. While a lawyer shall seek to fearlessly advocate for their client, they must do so honourably, in compliance with the law, and in a manner that complies with their professional obligations. This includes their duty of candour. Counsel must never mislead or attempt to mislead. If counsel has inadvertently done so, then counsel must correct it the moment it comes to their attention.
*'''Counsel will retain original and signed documents for the course of a proceeding.''' The IRB ''Practice Notice - Electronic Exchange of Documents Using My Case'' states that "original documents and documents requiring a signature must be kept by the sender until the proceeding has been finalized and at least 30 days after all appeal periods or the period for making an application for leave and judicial review have expired."<ref>Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, ''Practice Notice - Electronic Exchange of Documents Using My Case,'' Signed on September 12, 2025, <https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/legal-policy/procedures/Pages/electronic-exchange-documents-my-case.aspx>.</ref>
*'''There is no expectation that the counsel of record will have done all preparatory work themselves.''' A lawyer who signs documents submitted to a decision-maker need not have done all related work themselves; delegation of work to others is commonplace in law firms, usually to professionals with lower rates.<ref>''Dogan v.

== IRPA ss. 3(2) and 3(3): Interpretation principles as derived from the Act ==
This section will set out the objectives and application provisions in the Act and then provide commentary on some specific ones. In the words of Sharryn Aiken, et. al., one of the enduring features of Canadian immigration law since the 1976 ''Immigration Act'' has been "a complex and contradictory set of objectives".<ref>Sharryn Aiken, et al, ''Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary (Third Edition)'', Jan. 1 2020, Emond, ISBN: 1772556319, at page 27.</ref> Those objectives, in so far as they concern refugees, read as follows in the current IRPA:<pre>Objectives — refugees
3...
(2) The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are
(a) to recognize that the refugee program is in the first instance about saving lives and offering protection to the displaced and persecuted;
(b) to fulfil Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees and affirm Canada’s commitment to international efforts to provide assistance to those in need of resettlement;
(c) to grant, as a fundamental expression of Canada’s humanitarian ideals, fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution;
(d) to offer safe haven to persons with a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, as well as those at risk of torture or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment;
(e) to establish fair and efficient procedures that will maintain the integrity of the Canadian refugee protection system, while upholding Canada’s respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all human beings;
(f) to support the self-sufficiency and the social and economic well-being of refugees by facilitating reunification with their family members in Canada;
(g) to protect the health and safety of Canadians and to maintain the security of Canadian society; and
(h) to promote international justice and security by denying access to Canadian territory to persons, including refugee claimants, who are security risks or serious criminals.
Application
(3) This Act is to be construed and applied in a manner that
(a) furthers the domestic and international interests of Canada;
(b) promotes accountability and transparency by enhancing public awareness of immigration and refugee programs;
(c) facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada, provincial governments, foreign states, international organizations and non-governmental organizations;
(d) ensures that decisions taken under this Act are consistent with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including its principles of equality and freedom from discrimination and of the equality of English and French as the official languages of Canada;
(e) supports the commitment of the Government of Canada to enhance the vitality of the English and French linguistic minority communities in Canada; and
(f) complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory.</pre>The above objectives can be compared to the section of the IRPA that sets out objectives for the immigration (as opposed to humanitarian or refugee) streams:<pre>Objectives — immigration
3...
3 (1) The objectives of this Act with respect to immigration are
(a) to permit Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration;
(b) to enrich and strengthen the social and cultural fabric of Canadian society, while respecting the federal, bilingual and multicultural character of Canada;
(b.1) to support and assist the development of minority official languages communities in Canada;
(c) to support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy, in which the benefits of immigration are shared across all regions of Canada;
(d) to see that families are reunited in Canada;
(e) to promote the successful integration of permanent residents into Canada, while recognizing that integration involves mutual obligations for new immigrants and Canadian society;
(f) to support, by means of consistent standards and prompt processing, the attainment of immigration goals established by the Government of Canada in consultation with the provinces;
(f.1) to maintain, through the establishment of fair and efficient procedures, the integrity of the Canadian immigration system;
(g) to facilitate the entry of visitors, students and temporary workers for purposes such as trade, commerce, tourism, international understanding and cultural, educational and scientific activities;
(h) to protect public health and safety and to maintain the security of Canadian society;
(i) to promote international justice and security by fostering respect for human rights and by denying access to Canadian territory to persons who are criminals or security risks; and
(j) to work in cooperation with the provinces to secure better recognition of the foreign credentials of permanent residents and their more rapid integration into society.</pre>There is a statutory interpretation convention to the effect that statements of objectives in legislation serve to constrain executive discretion in implementing the law. In the words of Sharryn Aiken, et. al., however, the objectives of the IRPA "are so plentiful and far-ranging that they arguably serve to support any potential discretionary implementation choice."<ref>Sharryn Aiken, et al, ''Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary (Third Edition)'', Jan. 1 2020, Emond, ISBN: 1772556319, at page 29.</ref> As such, in Catherine Dauvergne's view, the objectives "are so complex that they can neither guide nor constrain."<ref name=":20">Catherine Dauvergne, Evaluating Canada's New Immigration and Refugee Protection Act in Its Global Context, 2003 41-3 ''Alberta Law Review'' 725, 2003 CanLIIDocs 127, <<nowiki>https://canlii.ca/t/2d8f</nowiki>>, retrieved on 2021-06-25 at page 732.</ref> Shauna Labman writes that the twenty-five separate paragraphs addressing the objectives and application of the act add to the IRPA's "contradictions and confusions".<ref>Shauna Labman, ''Crossing Law’s Border: Canada’s Refugee Resettlement Program,'' 2019, UBC Press: Vancouver, page 43.</ref> Dauvergne writes that these provisions "serve no purpose other than to announce that the government is aware of how thorny an issue immigration is in Canadian politics and to ensure that the law is able to mirror prevailing political views without amendment."<ref name=":20" /> Indeed, the Federal Court has concluded that even if an RPD Rule is non-compliant with one of these objectives, this would not render it ''ultra vires'' of its enabling provision in the Act.<ref>''Uppal v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2006 FC 1142 (CanLII), par. 13, <https://canlii.ca/t/1pnxv#par13>, retrieved on 2021-07-14.</ref>
That said, the structure of these objectives is indicative of a long-standing principle in Canadian refugee adjudication: the idea that immigration considerations are separate from the principles that govern refugee adjudication. In the words of the Ministerial Guidelines which were issued for the Refugee Status Advisory Committee in 1982, "it is recognized that immigration considerations must not be brought to bear on the application of the refugee definition. The possibility that, if one person is given refugee status, many other might also be entitled to claim refugee status, is not relevant to whether the claimant is a refugee."<ref>Ministerial Guidelines, Refugee Status Advisory Committee (RSAC Feb 20, 1982), as reproduced at https://refuge.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/refuge/article/view/41404/37052</ref>
=== IRPA Section 3(2)(a) - The refugee program is about saving lives and offering protection ===
<pre>Objectives — refugees
(2) The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are
(a) to recognize that the refugee program is in the first instance about saving lives and offering protection to the displaced and persecuted;</pre>
==== This has been a long-standing provision in the Act ====
This reflects one of the objectives that was inserted into the 1976 Immigration Act, which was “to fulfill Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees and to uphold its humanitarian tradition with respect to the displaced and persecuted.”<ref name=":14">Clare Glassco, ''Before the Sun Comes Up: The Making of Canadian Refugee Policy amidst the Refugee Crisis in Southeast Asia, 1975-1980'', April 1, 2020 <<nowiki>https://heartsoffreedom.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Revised-FINAL-April-3-Before-the-Sun-Comes-Up.pdf</nowiki>> (Accessed April 17, 2020), page 14 of the document.</ref>
==== The refugee program aims to offer protection, including the legal rights specified in the ''Refugee Convention'' ====
Section 3(2)(a) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are, ''inter alia'', to recognize that the refugee program is in the first instance about saving lives and offering protection to the displaced and persecuted. The protection envisaged is not just protection from ''refoulement'', but also the suite of positive rights enumerated in the Refugee Convention. In the words of Donald Galloway, Canada’s obligation under the Refugee Convention is not merely the negative duty of not returning a person to a place where they face a risk to their life or their freedom is threatened – the duty found explicitly within Article 33 of the Convention. Canada’s duty also embraces the wider positive duty to recognize the status (and a host of other rights) of individuals who are unable to or are justified in not availing themselves of protection in their country of origin.<ref>Donald Galloway, ''Populism and the failure to acknowledge the human rights of migrants,'' in Dauvergne, C. (ed), ''Research handbook on the law and politics of migration'', April 2021, ISBN: 9781789902259.</ref> The Refugee Convention enumerates a number of core rights that all refugees benefit from, and then additional entitlements may accrue as a function of the nature and duration of the refugee's attachment to the asylum state. The most basic set of rights inhere as soon as a refugee comes under a state’s ''de jure'' or ''de facto'' jurisdiction; a second set applies when he or she enters a state party’s territory; other rights inhere only when the refugee is lawfully within the state’s territory; some when the refugee is lawfully staying there; and a few rights accrue only upon satisfaction of a durable residency requirement.<ref>Hathaway, J. (2005). ''The Rights of Refugees under International Law''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/CBO9780511614859.</ref> In sum, the rights discussed in the Convention are those that follow:

The big picture rationale behind the inclusion of these rights in the Convention was the objective of preventing refugees from becoming legal non-persons. In the words of the UK House of Lords, "the general purpose of the Convention is to enable the person who no longer has the benefit of protection against persecution for a Convention reason in his own country to turn for protection to the international community."<ref>''Horvath v. Secretary of State for the Home Department,'' [2000] 3 All ER 577 (UK HL, July 6, 2000), per Lord Hope of Craighead.</ref> After the First World War, the academic Alleweldt states, the typical problem of refugees was the lack of any legal status in the state of refuge, which deprived them automatically of many rights and opportunities. Accordingly, the parties to the Convention envisaged, for humanitarian reasons as well as for practical reasons of cooperation, providing refugees with a status which would comprise a key set of their human rights and freedoms.<ref>The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol: A Commentary. Edited by Andreas Zimmermann. Oxford University Press, 2011, 1799 pp. {{#isbn:978-0-19-954251-2}}, ''Preamble 1951 Convention,'' Alleweldt, at p. 232 (paras. 26-27).</ref> In short, the rights guaranteed to recognized refugees by the Convention are intended to provide them with the rights necessary to start life anew.<ref>Haddad, E. (2008). The Refugee in International Society: Between Sovereigns (Cambridge Studies in International Relations). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/CBO9780511491351, page 190.</ref>
==== The fact that the refugee protection is in the first instance about saving lives and offering protection can be contrasted with the goals for the immigration programs provided in the IRPA ====
The court appears to indicate that the fact that Parliament has dictated that the IRPA “is <u>in the first instance</u> about saving lives and offering protection to the displaced and persecuted [emphasis in original decision]” implies this goal's importance and priority.<ref>''Freeman v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 1839 (CanLII), at para 72, <https://canlii.ca/t/k7zf1#par72>, retrieved on 2024-12-07.</ref> Section 3(2)(a) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are, ''inter alia'', to recognize that the refugee program is in the first instance about saving lives and offering protection to the displaced and persecuted. This can be contrasted with the broader set of objectives for Canada's immigration programs set out in s. 3(3)(1) of the Act, which include the successful integration of immigrants and maximizing immigration's economic benefits for Canada. This contrast should inform interpretations of the Act. While in immigration law, ''writ large'', the desirability of an immigrant (e.g. their work experience, education, fluency in French or English, or youth) is recognized as a proper consideration for how the government may choose to accord status, refugee law, in contrast, provides the framework for individuals who are fleeing persecution to seek safety in which the primary consideration is to be, in the words of s. 3(2)(a) of the IRPA, saving lives and offering protection. In the words of Molly Joeck, "conflating the two is a dangerous exercise".<ref>Molly Joeck, ''Canadian Exclusion Jurisprudence post-Febles'', International Journal of Refugee Law, 17 September 2021; Advance Article, https://doi.org/10.1093/ijrl/eeab034, page 30.</ref> As an example, in ''Canada v. Lin'', the court commented that "it is hard to see how providing the Respondent’s documents to a government known to be repressive without first taking steps to protect the Respondent’s identity would be in line with the objectives of the IRPA [for refugees in s. 3(2) of the Act]".<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Lin,'' 2011 FC 431 (CanLII), at para 34, <https://canlii.ca/t/fl20r#par34>, retrieved on 2025-10-01.</ref>
==== The fact that the refugee protection is in the first instance about saving lives and offering protection points to the importance of decisions being correct ====
Justice Gauthier, referring to the objectives of the ''IRPA'', in particular "saving lives and offering protection to the displaced and persecuted," held that the RAD is a "safety net that would catch all mistakes made by the RPD, be it on the law or the facts." This required that the RAD's standard of review, applicable both to questions of law and questions of fact, be correctness.<ref>''Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) v. Huruglica'', 2016 FCA 93, at paras. 53, 98, and 103, as cited in Martine Valois and Henri Barbeau, ''The Federal Courts and Immigration and Refugee Law,'' in Martine Valois, et. al., eds., The Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court: 50 Years of History, Toronto: Irwin Law, 2021, at page 316.</ref>
=== IRPA Section 3(2)(b) - Fulfilling Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees ===
<pre>Objectives — refugees
(2) The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are
(b) to fulfil Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees and affirm Canada’s commitment to international efforts to provide assistance to those in need of resettlement;</pre>
==== This has been a long-standing provision in the Act ====
This reflects one of the objectives that was inserted into the 1976 Immigration Act, which was “to fulfill Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees and to uphold its humanitarian tradition with respect to the displaced and persecuted.”<ref name=":14" />
==== The IRPA should be interpreted in a way that ensures Canada fulfills its international legal obligations with respect to refugees ====
Section 3(2)(b) of the Act specifies that the objectives of the IRPA with respect to refugees are, among other things, to fulfill Canada's international legal obligations with respect to refugees. There is a well-established presumption that, where possible, Canada’s domestic legislation should be interpreted to conform to international law.<ref>''R. v. Hape,'' 2007 SCC 26, [2007] 2 S.C.R. 292 at para. 53.</ref> The Supreme Court of Canada holds that the provisions of the IRPA "cannot be considered in isolation from the international norms which they reflect".<ref>''Suresh v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)'', [2002] 1 SCR 3 (Canada), para. 59.</ref> Section 3(2)(b) of the Act reinforces that, where possible, the provisions of the IRPA should be interpreted in a way that fulfills Canada's obligations pursuant to, ''inter alia'', the ''Refugee Convention''. This is a critical legal constraint on interpretation of the ''IRPA -'' one that Parliament has mandated that immigration adjudicators consider in interpreting the legislation, regardless of whether arguments about international treaties like the ''Refugee Convention'' are explicitly raised by the parties in submissions or not.<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers'', 2024 FCA 69 (CanLII), at para 52, <https://canlii.ca/t/k419v#par52>, retrieved on 2024-04-16.</ref>

See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#The refugee program aims to offer protection, including the legal rights specified in the Refugee Convention]].

==== The ''Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties'' codifies public international law rules of treaty interpretation applicable to the interpretation of the ''Refugee Convention'' ====
The rules of treaty interpretation for discerning the content of Canada's international legal obligations with respect to refugees were codified in the ''Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties''. Arts. 31 and 32 of the ''Vienna Convention'' provide that:<ref name=":13">Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1155 UNTS 331, 23 May 1969 (entry into force: 27 Jan. 1980).</ref>
ARTICLE 31: General rule of interpretation
1. A treaty shall be interpreted in good faith in accordance with the ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of the treaty in their context and in the light of its object and purpose.
2. The context for the purpose of the interpretation of a treaty shall comprise, in addition to the text, including its preamble and annexes:
(a) any agreement relating to the treaty which was made between all the parties in connection with the conclusion of the treaty;
(b) any instrument which was made by one or more parties in connection with the conclusion of the treaty and accepted by the other parties as an instrument related to the treaty.
3. There shall be taken into account, together with the context:
(a) any subsequent agreement between the parties regarding the interpretation of the treaty or the application of its provisions;
(b) any subsequent practice in the application of the treaty which establishes the agreement of the parties regarding its interpretation;
(c) any relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties.
4. A special meaning shall be given to a term if it is established that the parties so intended.
ARTICLE 32: Supplementary means of interpretation
1. Recourse may be had to supplementary means of interpretation, including the preparatory work of the treaty and the circumstances of its conclusion, in order to confirm the meaning resulting from the application of article 31, or to determine the meaning when the interpretation according to article 31:
(a) leaves the meaning ambiguous or obscure; or
(b) leads to a result which is manifestly absurd or unreasonable.
ARTICLE 33: Interpretation of treaties authenticated in two or more languages
1.When a treaty has been authenticated in two or more languages, the text is equally authoritative in each language, unless the treaty provides or the parties agree that, in case of divergence, a particular text shall prevail.
2. A version of the treaty in a language other than one of those in which the text was authenticated shall be considered an authentic text only if the treaty so provides or the parties so agree.
3.The terms of the treaty are presumed to have the same meaning in each authentic text.
4.Except where a particular text prevails in accordance with paragraph 1, when a comparison of the authentic texts discloses a difference of meaning which the application of articles 31 and 32 does not remove, the meaning which best reconciles the texts, having regard to the object and purpose of the treaty, shall be adopted.
This said, the ''Vienna Convention'' does not in and of itself apply to the ''Refugee Convention'', given that the ''Vienna Convention'' applies only to treaties which are concluded by states after the ''Vienna Convention'' entered into force on January 27, 1980 (per Article 4 of that Convention)<ref>Leslie Katz, ''The Use of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties in the Interpretation of the Refugee Convention and the Refugee Protocol,'' CanLII Connects, March 27, 2019, <https://canliiconnects.org/en/commentaries/66071> (Accessed August 28, 2020).</ref> and the Refugee Convention of 1951 and the 1967 Protocol to the Convention predate this.

==== Canada must perform its international legal obligations with respect to refugees in good faith ====
Section 3(2)(b) of the Act specifies that the objectives of the IRPA with respect to refugees are, among other things, to fulfill Canada's international legal obligations with respect to refugees. These obligations must be interpreted in good faith.<ref name=":3">The terms of the Refugee Convention are to be interpreted pursuant to the principles set out at arts 31–32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (adopted 23 May 1969, entered into force 27 January 1980) 1155 UNTS 331, Can TS 1980 No 37 as noted in Joshua Blum, ''When Law Forgets: Coherence and Memory in the Determination of Stateless Palestinian Refugee Claims in Canada,'' International Journal of Refugee Law, eeaa019, https://doi-org.peacepalace.idm.oclc.org/10.1093/ijrl/eeaa019.</ref> This is consistent with Art. 31 of the ''Vienna Convention'', ''supra'', which states that "a treaty shall be interpreted in good faith". It is also consistent with Article 26 of the ''Vienna Convention'', which requires states to perform their international treaty obligations in good faith. In international law, the concept of good faith, or ''bona fides'', is taken to include duties of honesty, loyalty, and reasonableness.<ref>Uçaryılmaz, Talya. (2020). ''The Principle of Good Faith in Public International Law (El principio de buena fe en el Derecho internacional público)''.

==== The ''Refugee Convention'' should be interpreted in good faith in light of its object and purpose ====
Under Art. 31 of the ''Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties'', “a treaty shall be interpreted in good faith in accordance with the ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of the treaty in their context and in light of its object and purpose”.<ref name=":6">Tristan Harley, ''Refugee Participation Revisited: The Contributions of Refugees to Early International Refugee Law and Policy'', Refugee Survey Quarterly, 28 November 2020, https://doi.org/10.1093/rsq/hdaa040, at page 4.</ref> This raises the question of what the object and purpose of the ''Refugee Convention'' are. The principal answer that emerges in the jurisprudence relates to the Convention's humanitarian purposes. The UK House of Lords has held that a ‘good faith’ interpretation of the Refugee Convention is one that works to bolster the effectiveness of its protection purpose, and thus seeks a construction consistent with humanitarian aims and not simply a literal linguistic approach.<ref>''Adan v Secretary of State for the Home Department,'' [1999] 1 AC 293.</ref> These humanitarian aims are underscored in the IRPA with the statement at s. 3(2)(d) that "the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are to grant, as a fundamental expression of Canada’s humanitarian ideals, fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution". The academic Michelle Foster writes that "one perspective is that the aim of the Refugee Convention is fundamentally to pursue a social and human rights inspired purpose, namely to provide for the international protection of those individuals falling within the refugee definition."<ref>Michelle Foster, "A Human Rights Framework for Interpreting the Refugee Convention" in Michelle Foster, ''International Refugee Law and Socio-Economic Rights: Refugee from Deprivation'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007). </ref> The Supreme Court of Canada has noted the human rights purpose of the ''Refugee Convention'', for example remarking upon its "obvious human rights purpose" in ''Németh v. Canada''.<ref>''Németh v. Canada (Justice),'' 2010 SCC 56 (CanLII), [2010] 3 SCR 281, par. 33, <http://canlii.ca/t/2djll#par33>, retrieved on 2020-12-19.</ref> Similarly, in ''Ezokola v Canada'' the court refers to the "overarching and clear human rights object and purpose [of the ''Refugee Convention'']".<ref>''Ezokola v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)'', 2013 SCC 40, para. 32.</ref> This is articulated as follows by the Supreme Court of Canada in ''Canada v.'' ''Ward'': the underlying objective of the 1951 Convention is "the international community's commitment to the assurance of basic human rights without discrimination."<ref>''Canada (Attorney-General) v. Ward'', [1993] 2 SCR 689.</ref>
That said, the following words of caution from the Australian courts are apposite: "the demands of language and context should not be departed from by invoking the humanitarian objectives of the Convention, without an appreciation of the limits placed by the Convention upon achievement of such objectives."<ref>''Applicant A v. Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs'' (1997) 190 CLR 225 (Australia), 231 (Brennan CJ).</ref> Indeed, Lord Bingham in the UK has emphasized that the 1951 Convention was "a compromise between competing interests, in this case between the need to ensure humane treatment of the victims of oppression on the one hand and the wish of sovereign states to maintain control over those seeking entry to their territory on the other."<ref name=":9" /> Foster suggests that it is possible to reconcile these two approaches by emphasizing that the 1951 Convention's focus is on "the need for co-operation in order adequately to deal with the humanitarian problem".<ref name=":10">Foster, M., ''International Refugee Law and Socio-Economic Rights: Refuge from Deprivation'' (2007), p. 44, as cited in Jane McAdam, ‘Interpretation of the 1951 Convention’ in Andreas Zimmermann (ed), The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol: A Commentary (Oxford University Press 2011) at page 92.</ref> Drawing on Klabbers' view that if a treaty's substantive provisions deal with a particular topic, then it may be surmised that that topic is the treaty's object and purpose, Foster argues that the 1951 Convention's overwhelming purpose is a human rights one. In essence the treaty provides for refugees' rights and entitlements under international law.<ref name=":10" />
==== The ''Refugee Convention'' does not explicitly prescribe any particular Refugee Status Determination procedure ====
The objectives of this Act include fulfilling Canada's international legal obligations with respect to refugees. How does that relate to refugee procedure? Canada's refugee status determination process reflects Canada's international obligations, including those stemming from the ''Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees'' of 1951. The challenge of refugee status determination is determining who is a “refugee” and, conversely, who is not. As to the process by which this task should be accomplished, neither the treaty nor the statute is of much direct assistance: there are 46 articles in the ''Refugee Convention'' and 22 paragraphs in the ''Statute of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees'', none of which address the issue of Refugee Status Determination (RSD).<ref>Jones, M., & Houle, F. (2008). Building a Better Refugee Status Determination System. ''Refuge: Canada’s Journal on Refugees'', ''25''(2), 3-11. Retrieved from https://refuge.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/refuge/article/view/26027, page 3.</ref> In the words of the UNHCR’s ''Handbook on Procedures and Criteria'', “the Convention does not indicate what type of procedures are to be adopted for the determination of refugee status.”<ref>Jones, M., & Houle, F.

==== The procedures used by Canada must ensure the effectiveness of the substantive provisions in the ''Refugee Convention'' ====
Section 3(2)(b) of the Act specifies that the objectives of the IRPA with respect to refugees include fulfilling Canada's international legal obligations with respect to refugees. In ratifying the ''Refugee Convention'', Canada has made a number of commitments, the most important of which is arguably the principle of ''non-refoulement'' enshrined in Article 33 of the ''Refugee Convention.'' How do such commitments relate to the procedures Canada selects for refugee status determination? Hofmann and Löhr write that, with respect to the 1951 Convention, it might be stated that the Convention does not necessitate (or prohibit) any specific procedure as such, but obliges states not to introduce procedures which would result in applicants for asylum being denied the rights that Canada undertook to respect when signing the Convention. This flows from the foundational principle of international law ''pacta sunt servanda'', the rule that agreements must be kept,<ref>Uçaryılmaz, Talya. (2020). ''The Principle of Good Faith in Public International Law (El principio de buena fe en el Derecho internacional público)''. Estudios de Deusto. 68.43.10.18543/ed-68(1)-2020pp43-59 <https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=7483935> (Accessed July 25, 2020), page 11 of the article.</ref> in this case Canada's agreement to abide by the terms of the Convention. With respect to procedures, international courts have established the principle that a state's procedural rules must ensure the effectiveness of the substantive provisions of its international commitments. This has been held by, among others, the International Court of Justice in the ''LaGrand'' ''(Germany v. United States of America)'' case, where it ruled that the duty incumbent on states to ensure that their international obligations be fully respected implies that domestic procedural law must be construed in such a way as to give full effect to a purposive interpretation of the state's international legal commitments.<ref>ICJ. ''LaGrand'', Judgment, ICJ Reports (2001), pp. 497-498, paras. 89-91.</ref> For example, if a state uses deficient procedures, which lead to prohibited ''refoulement'', the introduction of such procedures constitutes ''per se'' a violation of Article 33 of the Refugee Convention and its prohibition on ''non-refoulement''.<ref>The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol: A Commentary.

==== There can only be one true interpretation of the ''Refugee Convention'' ====
See below: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#The Act should be interpreted in a way that is coherent with interpretations by other states party to the Convention]].
==== Canada does not have a binding legal obligation to accept refugees from abroad for resettlement ====
Section 3(2)(b) of the Act provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees include 1) fulfilling Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees, and 2) affirming Canada’s commitment to international efforts to provide assistance to those in need of resettlement. Resettlement falls into the second category, as opposed to the first, insofar as Canada does not have an international legal obligation to resettle refugees from abroad. When negotiating the ''Refugee Convention'', the international community recognized the importance of burden sharing and prominently placed it in the preamble to the Convention, but burden sharing was not made into a binding legal obligation.<ref>Shauna Labman, ''Crossing Law’s Border: Canada’s Refugee Resettlement Program,'' 2019, UBC Press: Vancouver, page 5.</ref> Indeed, as Hathaway notes, when negotiating the ''Refugee Convention'', governments were emphatic in their rejection of a duty to reach out to refugees located beyond their borders, accepting only the more constrained obligation not to force refugees back to countries in which they might be persecuted.<ref>Hathaway, J. (2005). The Rights of Refugees under International Law. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/CBO9780511614859 at page 161.</ref> Subsequent international efforts to articulate an individual right of asylum at international law have been unsuccessful - for example, the 1967 UN General Assembly Declaration on Territorial Asylum is non-binding and a proposed ''Convention on Territorial Asylum'' never materialized.<ref>Adamu Umaru Shehu, ''Understanding the Legal Rights of Refugee, Migrants, and Asylum Seekers Under International Law'', Journal of Conflict Resolution and Social Issues, Vol 1 No 2 (2021) <http://journal.fudutsinma.edu.ng/index.php/JCORSI/article/viewFile/1824/1275> (Accessed February 13, 2021), pages 40-41.</ref> For more details on burden sharing, see: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#Responsibility sharing and burden sharing between states are fundamental principles of the Refugee Convention]].
=== IRPA Section 3(2)(c) - Fair consideration is to be granted to those who come to Canada claiming persecution ===
<pre>Objectives — refugees
(2) The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are
(c) to grant, as a fundamental expression of Canada’s humanitarian ideals, fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution;</pre>
==== This has been a long-standing provision in the Act ====
This reflects one of the objectives that was inserted into the 1976 Immigration Act, which was “to fulfill Canada’s international legal obligations with respect to refugees and to uphold its humanitarian tradition with respect to the displaced and persecuted.”<ref name=":14" /> This is also reflected in the IRB's mission statement, including its emphasis on the Board acting on behalf of Canadians: "Our mission, on behalf of Canadians, is to make well-reasoned decisions on immigration and refugee matters, efficiently, fairly, and in accordance with the law."<ref name=":23" />
==== The importance of Board procedures being fair to the public perception of the refugee program ====
In addition to ensuring overall fairness and facilitating the giving of evidence, procedural fairness is also about maintaining the integrity of the refugee determination process in the eyes of the public. For example, stakeholders may come to question the integrity of the system if they observe unfair, biased, stereotyped, arbitrary, or otherwise inappropriate processes that do not provide fair consideration to those who come to Canada and file a claim. As the legal philosopher Patricia Mindus argues, arbitrariness undermines legitimacy and erodes trust in the law in a deep way that is not easy to remedy.<ref>Mindus, P. (2020). Towards a Theory of Arbitrary Law-making in Migration Policy. ''Etikk I Praksis - Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics'', ''14''(2), 9-33. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.5324.eip.v14i2.3712</nowiki> at page 16.</ref> Ensuring procedural fairness is in this way integral to maintaining the reliability of the hearing and refugee determination process and public support therefor.
Part of the Board's role in ensuring that fair consideration is provided to those who come to Canada claiming persecution relates to the nature of the reasons that are offered in their cases. As Thériault argues, "reasons encourage the acceptance of decisions and reinforce confidence in the judicial system. The act of writing reasons helps to ensure that decisions are arrived at rationally and imposes on judges a form of self-discipline. Reasons allow parties to understand why a case was decided a certain way. Reasons allow appeal judges to assess the merits of decisions under review. Reasons are also necessary for the proper development of the common law through the principle of ''stare decisis'', and serve an educational purpose by informing both the legal community and those outside it of the content and evolution of legal rules."<ref>Pierre-André Thériault, ''Settling the Law: An Empirical Assessment of Decision-Making and Judicial Review in Canada's Refugee Resettlement System'', April 2021, Ph.D Thesis, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, <https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10315/38504/Theriault_Pierre-Andre_2021_PhD_v2.pdf> (Accessed July 10, 2021), page 332.</ref>
==== This provision relates to the Canadian Bill of Rights provision on principles of fundamental justice ====
Section 3(2)(c) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are to grant fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution. This tracks Section 2(e) of the ''Canadian'' ''Bill of Rights'', which states that no law of Canada shall be construed or applied so as to "abrogate, abridge or infringe or to authorize the abrogation, abridgement or infringement of any of the rights or freedoms herein recognized and declared, and in particular, no law of Canada shall be construed or applied so as to ... (e) deprive a person of the right to a fair hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice for the determination of his rights and obligations."<ref>''Canadian Bill of Rights,'' SC 1960, c 44, s 2, <http://canlii.ca/t/7vnh#sec2>, retrieved on 2020-12-22.</ref>
==== This provision relates to Canada's international obligations ====
Section 3(2)(c) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are to grant fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution. As to the scope of this concept of this "fair consideration", see [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees include the establishment of procedures that will uphold Canada's respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all human beings]].
==== The focus of this provision is on those who are claimants within Canada ====
Section 3(2)(c) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are to grant fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution. This provision can be interpreted as being focused on those who come to Canada claiming protection (asylum seekers) as opposed to those who are abroad (awaiting resettlement) given that resettled refugees do not come to Canada "claiming" protection as their claim has generally been accepted prior to that point. See also: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#Canada does not have a binding legal obligation to accept refugees from abroad for resettlement]]. An alternative interpretation of this phrase could be that "those who come to Canada claiming persecution" uses Canada as an eponym in place of the Government of Canada, as opposed to the territory of the country, though this is arguably a doubtful interpretation of the phrase.
=== IRPA Section 3(2)(d) - Offering safe haven ===
<pre>Objectives — refugees
(2) The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are
(d) to offer safe haven to persons with a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, as well as those at risk of torture or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment;</pre>
==== The idea that the objectives of the refugee provisions in the Act involve offering safe haven implicitly means that the grant of refugee status involves a judgment of the source country ====
Section 3(2)(d) of the objectives of the Act provides that its objectives with respect to refugees include offering safe haven to specified persons. The idea of offering a safe haven in Canada implicitly involves a judgment that the source country is not providing that safe haven. As Plaut writes, in this way, according refugee status inherently involves passing judgment on the source country: "what is the Geneva Convention but a moral judgement of offending countries' policies? Any time a nation accepts a person as a legitimate refugee it is judging the refugee's country of origin."<ref>W. Gunther Plaut, ''Asylum: A Moral Dilemma'', Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 1995, page 124.</ref> He goes on to write that, "accpeting an individual refugee under the Convention appears to imply that his/her country of origin, by creating refugees on its territory, does not live up to proper international standards."<ref>W. Gunther Plaut, ''Asylum: A Moral Dilemma'', Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 1995, page 140.</ref>
==== The objective of this Act is to offer safe haven to specified persons and this is an enduring commitment unless an asylee's status ceases ====
The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees include offering safe haven to persons with a well-founded fear of persecution for a Convention reason, as well as those at risk of torture or cruel and unusual treatment of punishment. This obligation, which partly tracks the criteria of the ''Refugee Convention'', reflects the fact that the 1951 Convention can be viewed as a third party agreement: a treaty whereby the contracting states take on obligations towards each other for the benefit of a third party, namely the refugees who are, per the terms of the treaty, provided with refugee rights.<ref>The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol: A Commentary. Edited by Andreas Zimmermann. Oxford University Press, 2011, 1799 pp. {{#isbn:978-0-19-954251-2}}, at p. 40 (para. 2).</ref> As Haddad writes, the refugee is someone who has exited their state of origin by crossing an international border and hence has become an issue of concern on the international agenda and a ward of international society.<ref>Haddad, E. (2008). The Refugee in International Society: Between Sovereigns (Cambridge Studies in International Relations). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/CBO9780511491351, page 198.</ref>
The "safe haven" that is to be offered to refugees is independent of other types of tenuous immigration status that Canada offers such as permanent residence. An applicant’s asylum status is not affected because their permanent residence status was lost or because their application for permanent residence was refused.<ref>''Gaspard v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2010 FC 29, paras. 15-16.</ref> Even where a refugee moves onward from a state which has granted international protection, that state bears ongoing obligations towards the individual, unless their status has ceased.<ref>''Paulos Teddla v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2020 FC 1109 (CanLII), par. 21, <http://canlii.ca/t/jc709#par21>, retrieved on 2020-12-21.</ref> Indeed, even those who are granted status as protected persons by the IRB may not meet the criteria to become permanent residents or citizens in Canada: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rules 26-28 - Exclusion, Integrity Issues, Inadmissibility and Ineligibility#Other grounds of inadmissibility in the IRPA do not render claimants ineligible for a refugee hearing, but may nonetheless have consequences even where a claim is accepted]]. That said, it is clear that refugee status ends with the application of the cessation clauses in the Convention.<ref>Brid Ni Ghrainne, ''Internally displaced persons and international refugee law'', in Satvinder S. Juss, ''Research Handbook on International Refugee Law'', 2019. Edward Elgar Publishing: Northampton, Massachusetts, page 34.</ref> For example, Article 1(C)(3) of the Refugee Convention provides that refugee status is terminated upon naturalization, i.e. a situation where a refugee “acquire(s) a new nationality, and enjoys the protection of the country of his new nationality.”<ref>Pierre-André Thériault, ''Settling the Law: An Empirical Assessment of Decision-Making and Judicial Review in Canada's Refugee Resettlement System'', April 2021, Ph.D Thesis, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, <<nowiki>https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10315/38504/Theriault_Pierre-Andre_2021_PhD_v2.pdf?sequence=2</nowiki>> (Accessed July 10, 2021), page 38.</ref> Once the criteria in one of the cessation clauses in the Refugee Convention are met, then 'refugeehood' can rightfully be regarded as having ceased. Until then, it may be observed that refugeehood is inherently characterized by a temporal uncertainty; indeed, as Agier notes, that the word ‘refuge’ itself ‘denotes a temporary shelter, while waiting for something better.’<ref>Agier, Michel. 2008. On the Margins of the World: The Refugee Experience Today. Cambridge: Polity Press.</ref> See also the following discussion of the interaction between the cessation clause in the Refugee Convention and the acquisition of Canadian citizenship: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rule 64 - Applications to Vacate or to Cease Refugee Protection#This provision applies even to those who have become Canadian citizens]].

(2) The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are
(e) to establish fair and efficient procedures that will maintain the integrity of the Canadian refugee protection system, while upholding Canada’s respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all human beings;</pre>
==== The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees include the establishment of efficient procedures ====
Section 3(2)(e) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of the Act with respect to refugees include the establishment of fair and efficient procedures. Section 162(2) of the IRPA provides that each Division shall deal with all proceedings before it as informally and quickly as the circumstances and the considerations of fairness and natural justice permit; for further discussion of this, see: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/162 - Board Jurisdiction and Procedure#IRPA Section 162(2) - Obligation to proceed informally and quickly]].
The starting point regarding the position of an alien, at common law, was summarized by Lord Denning as follows:<blockquote>At common law no alien has any right to enter this country except by leave of the Crown; and the Crown can refuse leave without giving any reason. If he comes by leave, the Crown can impose such conditions as it thinks fit, as to his length of stay, or otherwise. He has no right whatever to remain here. He is liable to be sent home to his own country at any time if, in the opinion of the Crown, his presence here is not conducive to the public good; and for this purpose, the executive may arrest him and put him on board a ship or aircraft bound for his own country.

In this way, Hathaway writes when describing the situation that spawned one of the Refugee Convention’s historical antecedents, the credibility of border controls and of the restriction of socioeconomic benefits to nationals is at stake with refugee programs: by legitimating and defining a needs-based exception to the norm of communal closure, refugee law can sustain the protectionist norm. In this way, “so long as the admission of refugees [is] understood to be formally sanctioned by states, their arrival [ceases] to be legally destabilizing.”<ref>Hathaway, J. (2021). The Rights of Refugees under International Law. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 2nd Ed. Page 21.</ref> This motivation has a number of implications.

* <u>The control over proceedings that has been granted to decision makers:</u> To increase the efficiency of hearings, procedures were amended following passage of the ''Balanced Refugee Reform Act'' (2010) and the ''Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act'' (2012) to give decision makers greater control over refugee protection proceedings.<ref>Neil Yeates, ''Report of the Independent Review of the Immigration and Refugee Board'', Government of Canada, April 10, 2018, <https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/pub/irb-report-en.pdf> (Accessed April 27, 2020), page 13.</ref> The fact that each Division of the IRB is required to deal with all proceedings before it as informally and expeditiously as the circumstances of fairness and natural justice permit supports, for example, the right of a tribunal Member to control the process and not waste time on matters that are irrelevant.<ref>''Canada (Citoyenneté et Immigration) c.

Section 97 was introduced with the transition from the ''Immigration Act'' to the IRPA, and in this way expanded the scope of asylum protection to include persons who are at risk of torture and to persons who are at risk of cruel and inhumane treatment upon deportation to their country of nationality or former habitual residence. Rebecca Hamlin writes that there is no evidence to suggest that Parliament considered the introduction of section 97 to be monumental when it discussed IRPA before voting on it in 2002. When the bill was being debated, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Elinor Caplan assured members of Parliament the IRPA "gives us the ability to streamline our procedures, so that those who are in genuine need of our protection will be welcomed in Canada more quickly and those who are not in need of protection will be able to be removed more quickly. That streamlining is extremely important." Immediately after IRPA went into force, the IRB Legal Services division produced a guide for decision-makers on how to make section 97 decisions; the guide states that these decisions were subsumed under the IRB mandate to avoid the "delays and inconsistencies" of the previous "fragmented" and "multilayered approach".

==== The objectives of this Act with respect to refugees include the establishment of procedures that will uphold Canada's respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all human beings ====
Section 3(2)(e) of the IRPA provides that the objectives of the Act with respect to refugees are to establish fair and efficient procedures that will maintain the integrity of the Canadian refugee protection system, while upholding Canada's respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all human beings. This can be considered in conjunction with section 3(2)(c) of the IRPA, which provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees are to grant fair consideration to those who come to Canada claiming persecution. As to the scope of this concept of "fair consideration", it should be considered in conjunction with s. 3(3)(f) of the IRPA, which provides that the Act is to be construed and applied in a manner that complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory.
When considering such human rights instruments, regard may not usually be had of the provision of the ''International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights'' that provides individuals with extensive rights relating to a fair trial in the determination of a person's "rights and obligations in a suit at law".<ref name=":15">UN General Assembly, ''International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights'', 16 December 1966, United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 999, p. 171, available at: https://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6b3aa0.html [accessed 6 February 2021], Article 14.</ref> Some, such as Macharia-Mokobi, note that this provision may cover refugee status determination procedures.<ref name=":16">E Macharia-Mokobi, J Pfumorodze, ''Advancing refugee protection in Botswana through improved refugee status determination'', African Human Rights Law Journal 13 (1), 01-26, <http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?pid=S1996-20962013000100008&script=sci_arttext&tlng=es> (Accessed February 5, 2021), page 162.</ref> Deportation proceedings do not themselves fall under that article of the ICCPR,<ref>PK v Canada, 1234/03, view of the UN Human Rights Committee, at 7.5.</ref> however the UN Human Rights Committee states that insofar as domestic law entrusts a judicial body (as opposed to a tribunal that is part of the executive) with the task of deciding about expulsions or deportations, the guarantees enshrined in this article of the ICCPR are applicable. Furthermore, all relevant guarantees of article 14 of the ICCPR apply where expulsion takes the form of a penal sanction or where violations of expulsion orders are punished under criminal law.<ref>UN Human Rights Committee, General Comment 32 concerning article 14 of the ICCPR.</ref> As such, for ordinary refugee claims in Canada before the RPD and RAD, article 14 will not be relevant to their determination. This answer could, arguably, be different for vacation or cessation proceedings occasioned as a result of a criminal conviction or where a court of law implicitly determines refugee status as part of proceedings related to the ''Hague'' ''Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction'': [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rule 65 - Abandonment#A claim is not automatically abandoned upon a claimant's departure from Canada]] and [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rules 60-61 - Reinstating a Withdrawn Claim or Application#:~:text=A Hague Convention proceeding:]].
Instead, the relevant provision of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights will more often be article 13, which specifically concerns the rights of aliens lawfully in the territory of a State Party:<blockquote>
An alien lawfully in the territory of a State Party to the present Covenant may be expelled therefrom only in pursuance of a decision reached in accordance with law and shall, except where compelling reasons of national security otherwise require, be allowed to submit the reasons against his expulsion and to have his case reviewed by, and be represented for the purpose before, the competent authority or a person or persons especially designated by the competent authority.</blockquote>The particular rights of article 13 only protect those aliens who are lawfully in the territory of a State party. This means that national law concerning the requirements for entry and stay must be taken into account in determining the scope of that protection, and that, per the UN Human Rights Committee in its relevant general comment, "illegal entrants and aliens who have stayed longer than the law or their permits allow, in particular, are not covered by [this article's] provisions". However, the UN Human Rights Committee writes in its relevant general comment, if the legality of an alien's entry or stay is in dispute, any decision on this point leading to the alien's expulsion or deportation ought to be taken in accordance with article 13.<ref>UN Human Rights Committee, General Comment 15, para. 9.</ref>
This also reflects the preamble to the ''Refugee Convention'', which reads:<blockquote>The High Contracting parties, ... considering that the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights approved on 10 December 1948 by the General Assembly have affirmed the principle that human beings shall enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms without discrimination ... have agreed as follows: ...<ref name=":4" /></blockquote>This has implications for the procedures that are used and the evidence that is accepted in them. For example, any statement or evidence obtained as a result of torture is not to be relied on as evidence in any proceeding.<ref>''Wong v.

Section 3(1)(h) of the IRPA is worded identically, stating that "the objectives of this Act with respect to immigration are (''h'') to protect the health and safety of Canadians and to maintain the security of Canadian society". That provision was considered in ''Medovarski v Canada'', in which the Supreme Court of Canada noted that "the objectives as expressed in the IRPA indicate an intent to prioritize security":<blockquote>The objectives as expressed in the ''IRPA'' indicate an intent to prioritize security. This objective is given effect by preventing the entry of applicants with criminal records, by removing applicants with such records from Canada, and by emphasizing the obligation of permanent residents to behave lawfully while in Canada. This marks a change from the focus in the predecessor statute, which emphasized the successful integration of applicants more than security: e.g., see s. 3(1)(''i'') of the ''IRPA'' versus s. 3(''j'') of the former Act; s. 3(1)(''e'') of the ''IRPA'' versus s. 3(''d'') of the former Act; s. 3(1)(''h'') of the ''IRPA'' versus s. 3(''i'') of the former Act.

==== While the IRPA may use terms similar to that of Canada's Criminal Code, they need not be interpreted identically ====
In ''Rana v. Canada'', the Federal Court commented that:<blockquote>[47] More generally, although broadly speaking both the ''Criminal Code'' and the ''IRPA'' share a concern with public safety and security, they do not “operate in tandem” or function together as parts of a single regulatory scheme, not even with respect to the specific matter of terrorism (cf. ''Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership v Rex'', 2002 SCC 42 (CanLII) at para 46 [''Bell ExpressVu'']). They do not deal with the same subject matter in the way that is necessary to engage the principle that statutes ''in pari materia'' should be construed together and can be explanatory of one another (cf. Ruth Sullivan, ''Sullivan on the Construction of Statutes'', 6<sup>th</sup> ed (Markham: LexisNexis, 2014) at 416-21). As a result, in my view this principle does not justify applying the meaning of “terrorist activity” in the ''Criminal Code'' to the term “terrorism” in section 34(1) of the ''IRPA''. I must, therefore, respectfully disagree with my colleague Justice Brown, who relied on this principle in ''Ali v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)'', 2017 FC 182 (CanLII) [''Ali''], to import the meaning given to “terrorist activity” in the ''Criminal Code'' into the ''IRPA'' for the purposes of a finding under section 34(1)(f) of the latter (see ''Ali'' at paras 42-44; see also ''Alam'' at paras 26-28)''.''<ref>''Rana v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2018 FC 1080, para. 47.</ref></blockquote>
==== The objectives of the Act include promoting international justice and security, and regard may be had to Canada's international obligations thereon ====
The objectives of the Act include promoting international justice and security, and regard may be had to Canada's international obligations on those points. For example, the Federal Court has noted that:<blockquote>Canada has numerous and significant international obligations to combat terrorism, including: ''International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism'', 12 December 1999, UNTS 2178 at 197; ''International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings'', 15 December 1997, UNTS 2149 at 256; ''International Convention against the Taking of Hostages'', 17 December 1979 UNTS 1316 at 205; ''Security Council resolution 1373 (2001) [on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts]'' (UNSC, 56th Sess, UN Doc S/RES/1373(2001) SC Res 1373); ''Security Council Resolution 2322 (2016) [on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts],'' UNSC, 2016, S/RES/2322; ''Security Council Resolution 2178 (2014) [on addressing the growing issue of foreign terrorist fighters],'' (UNSC, 69th Sess, UN Doc S/RES/2178 (2014) SC Res 2178)), which form a crucial part of the interpretive context for the ''IRPA'' (''IRPA,'' ss 3(1)(i) and 3(2)(h).<ref>''Talukder v.

Section 3(3)(b) of the Act provides that that it is to be construed and applied in a manner that enhances public awareness of immigration and refugee programs.

Canada'' (''Minister of Citizenship and Immigration''), [2003] 3 FC 421 (TD), para. 70.</ref> The Board must seek to maintain the support of both groups of stakeholders.

Section 3(3)(c) of the Act provides that it is to be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and international organizations. This provision of the Act relates to Canada's international obligations. Opinions and interpretations by the UNHCR are of particular interest because of Article 35 of the ''Refugee Convention'', which provides that member states have an obligation to facilitate the duty of UNHCR in supervising the application of the provisions of the Convention. Article 35 of the Refugee Convention and Article 2(1) of the 1967 Protocol stipulate that “[t]he States Parties to the present Protocol undertake to co-operate with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [...] in the exercise of its functions, and shall in particular facilitate its duty of supervising the application of the provisions of the present Protocol”.<ref>United Nations General Assembly. (1967). “Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees.” United Nations Treaty Series, Volume 606, Page 267.</ref> Furthermore, the preamble to the ''Refugee Convention'' reads:<blockquote>The High Contracting parties, ... noting that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is charged with the task of supervising international conventions providing for the protection of refugees, and recognizing that the effective co-ordination of measures taken to deal with this problem will depend upon the co-operation of States with the High Commissioner, ... have agreed as follows: ...<ref name=":4">UNHCR, ''Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees,'' Document dated December 2010 <https://www.unhcr.org/3b66c2aa10> (Accessed August 30, 2020), at page 13 of the document.</ref></blockquote>Furthermore, UNHCR is entrusted by the United Nations General Assembly with supervision of the interpretation and application of the Refugee Convention.<ref>See the Statute of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, annexed to UN General Assembly Resolution 428(V), 14 December 1950.</ref> As such, statements emanating from the UNHCR, such as those in its handbook, are considered highly influential in how refugee adjudication should be approached, even if its clauses are not, in and of themselves, law in Canada.<ref>''Canadian Council for Refugees v R,'' 2007 FC 1262 (CanLII), [2008] 3 FCR 606, par. 208, <http://canlii.ca/t/1tz0l#par208>, retrieved on 2020-03-22 (decision overturned at the Federal Court of Appeal on other grounds).</ref> The Federal Court of Appeal noted as much in ''Rahaman v.

Evan’s J.A.</ref></blockquote>The Federal Court has phrased the persuasiveness of UNHCR guidelines this way: while the guidelines are not binding, determinations must be consistent with them because the guidelines were made pursuant to an international instrument to which Canada is a signatory.<ref>''Mina v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1909 (CanLII), at para 14, <https://canlii.ca/t/kgsqm#par14>, retrieved on 2025-12-03.</ref> See also: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#IRPA Section 3(3)(f) - The Act is to be construed and applied in a manner that complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory]].
This holding is consistent with caselaw in Britain that UNHCR’s guidance concerning the interpretation and application of the Refugee Convention “should be accorded considerable weight”.<ref>''Al-Sirri v Secretary of State for the Home Department,'' [2012] UKSC 54; [2013] 1 AC 745, para 36.</ref> The UK Supreme Court has held that “the accumulated and unrivalled expertise of this organisation, its experience in working with governments throughout the world, the development, promotion and enforcement of procedures of high standard and consistent decision-making in the field of refugee status determinations must invest its decisions with considerable authority”.<ref>''IA (Iran) v Secretary of State for the Home Department,'' [2014] UKSC 6; [2014] 1 WLR 384, para 44.</ref>
That said, there is no requirement that panels of the Board expressly mention UNHCR guidelines in their reasons.<ref>''Singh v.

In the words of the Federal Court of Appeal from ''Jayasekara v Canada'', UNHCR’s statements "cannot override the functions of the Court in determining the words of the Convention."<ref>''Jayasekara v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)'', 2008 FCA 404, at para. 39.</ref>
Furthermore, there are also a multitude of pronouncements emanating from the UNHCR, with different levels of persuasiveness. Specifically, English jurisprudence holds that pronouncements of the UNHCR Executive Committee have been held to warrant greater weight than publications merely penned by UNHCR staff, such as the “Guidelines on International Protection” issued by the UNHCR’s Department of International Protection.<ref>''Secretary of State for the Home Department v. MA (Somalia),'' [2018] EWCA Civ 994 (Eng. CA, May 2, 2018).</ref> That said, even the UNHCR Executive Committee Conclusions are not binding on States, even if they may be instructive in interpreting and applying the 1951 Convention.<ref name=":11" />
==== Responsibility sharing and burden sharing between states are fundamental principles of the ''Refugee Convention'' ====
Section 3(3)(c) of the Act provides that this statute is to be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and foreign states. This provision reflects the importance of "burden sharing" and "responsibility sharing" in the refugee regime. It is said that the Refugee Convention is based on two principles: ''non-refoulement'', the rule that asylum seekers cannot be turned away or forced to return to their countries of origin; and ''responsibility sharing'', the idea that member nations should share the costs, labour, and risks of refugee aid.<ref>Mai-Linh K. Hong (2020) ''Navigating the Global Refugee Regime: Law, Myth, Story'', Amerasia Journal, DOI: 10.1080/00447471.2020.1776571, page 3.</ref> While the first principle is explicitly outlined in the operative clauses of the Convention, the second is implicit in the preamble to the ''Refugee Convention'', which reads:<ref>Srobana Bhattacharya, Bidisha Biswas, ''International Norms of Asylum and Burden-Sharing: A Case Study of Bangladesh and the Rohingya Refugee Population'', Journal of Refugee Studies, 22 December 2020, https://doi-org.ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/10.1093/jrs/feaa122 at page 3.</ref><blockquote>The High Contracting parties, ... considering that the grant of asylum may place unduly heavy burdens on certain countries, and that a satisfactory solution of a problem of which the United Nations has recognized the international scope and nature cannot therefore be achieved without international co-operation, ... have agreed as follows: ...<ref name=":4" /></blockquote>James Hathaway writes in ''The Law of Refugee Status'' that burden sharing was historically one of the core motivations for the ''Refugee Convention'': <blockquote>... the majority of the states that drafted the Convention sought to create a rights regime conducive to the redistribution of the post-war refugee burden from European shoulders. The Europeans complained that they had been forced to cope with the bulk of the human displacement caused by the Second World War, and that the time had come for all members of the United Nations to contribute to the resettlement of both the remaining war refugees and the influx of refugees from the Soviet bloc. Refugees would be more inclined to move beyond Europe if there were guarantees that their traditional expectations in terms of rights and benefits would be respected abroad. The Convention, then, was designed to create secure conditions such as would facilitate the sharing of the European refugee burden.<ref>James C Hathaway, ''The Law of Refugee Status'', Markham, Ont: Butterworths, 1991, at 6-11.</ref></blockquote>As such, in the words of a Senate of Canada report on point, responsibility sharing is a critical aspect of the global refugee regime.<ref>Senate of Canada, ''Ripped from Home: The Global Crisis of Forced Displacement,'' December 2024, <https://sencanada.ca/content/sen/committee/441/RIDR/Reports/GlobalForcedDisplacement_e.pdf>, page 58.</ref>
Today, most refugees reside not in Europe, but in low-income states; the world’s six richest countries host under 10% of the world’s refugee population, while 80% of the world’s refugee population live in countries neighbouring their own.<ref>Srobana Bhattacharya, Bidisha Biswas, ''International Norms of Asylum and Burden-Sharing: A Case Study of Bangladesh and the Rohingya Refugee Population'', Journal of Refugee Studies, 22 December 2020, https://doi-org.ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/10.1093/jrs/feaa122 at page 4.</ref> The majority of these countries are low-income ones, with significant resource and governance challenges of their own.<ref>Srobana Bhattacharya, Bidisha Biswas, ''International Norms of Asylum and Burden-Sharing: A Case Study of Bangladesh and the Rohingya Refugee Population'', Journal of Refugee Studies, 22 December 2020, https://doi-org.ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/10.1093/jrs/feaa122 at page 2.</ref> As an example, Canada has welcomed 1,088,015 refugees since 1980<ref>UNHCR Canada, ''Refugees in Canada'', Data to 2017 <https://www.unhcr.ca/in-canada/refugees-in-canada/> (Accessed December 26, 2020). </ref> through both the resettlement and in-Canada asylum processes. Between 1979 and 2018, a total of 707,421 refugees were resettled to Canada, including 313,401 refugees who came through the private sponsorship program, 385,014 through the Government-Assisted Refugee program, and 9,006 through the Blended Visa Office Referred (BVOR) program.<ref>Pierre-André Thériault, ''Settling the Law: An Empirical Assessment of Decision-Making and Judicial Review in Canada's Refugee Resettlement System'', April 2021, Ph.D Thesis, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, <https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10315/38504/Theriault_Pierre-Andre_2021_PhD_v2.pdf> (Accessed July 10, 2021), page 155.</ref> The remainder came through the in-Canada asylum system. All together, these refugee numbers represent about 3% of the current Canadian population. In comparison, Jordan today hosts refugees equivalent to 9% of its current population and Lebanon hosts refugees equivalent to more than 20% of its current population, all with substantially fewer financial resources than Canada has.<ref>World Bank, ''Refugee population by country or territory of asylum,'' 2019 <https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SM.POP.REFG> (Accessed December 26, 2020).</ref>
Responsibility sharing, as a concept, has been said to refer to the 'sharing' of people, while burden sharing refers to the sharing of financial resources and other costs related to refugees.<ref>Julian M. Lehmann, A''t the crossroads: The 1951 Geneva Convention today'', in Satvinder S. Juss, ''Research Handbook on International Refugee Law'', 2019. Edward Elgar Publishing: Northampton, Massachusetts, page 9.</ref> These principles have a number of implications. First, it is to this end that the UNHCR Executive Committee has encouraged states to continue to promote, where relevant, regional initiatives for refugee protection and durable solutions.<ref>UNHCR Executive Committee Conclusion N° 81(k), 1997.</ref> The Federal Court has noted that "in principle, international refugee law does not confer upon refugees the right to choose their country of asylum".<ref>''Paulos Teddla v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2020 FC 1109 (CanLII), at para 26, <https://canlii.ca/t/jc709#par26>.</ref> The Federal Court also notes that international refugee law "does not authorize their irregular movement between successive countries solely in order to benefit from more favourable conditions."<ref name=":7" /> The Federal Court has also cited with approval the UNHCR document ''Guidance on Responding to Irregular Onward Movement of Refugees and Asylum-seekers'' (2019) which includes a related discussion.<ref name=":7" /> One manifestation of this principle in the IRPA is through the responsibility sharing arrangement between the "Five Eyes" countries established by s. 101(c.1) of the Act: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/100-102 - Examination of Eligibility to Refer Claim]].
All this said, under international law refugees are under no obligation to apply for asylum in any particular state at any specific stage of their flight from danger.<ref>Idil Atak, Zainab Abu Alrob, Claire Ellis, Expanding refugee ineligibility: Canada’s response to secondary refugee movements, Journal of Refugee Studies, 14 December 2020, <nowiki>https://doi-org.ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/10.1093/jrs/feaa103</nowiki> at page 13.</ref> Indeed, the 1951 Convention at the time of its adoption was seen as an instrument of responsibility sharing and, to this end, binding obligations upon states were considered a requirement for effective international cooperation, as well as more equal commitments and sharing of responsibility with regard to refugee problems.<ref>The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol: A Commentary. Edited by Andreas Zimmermann. Oxford University Press, 2011, 1799 pp, £260 hb. {{#isbn:978-0-19-954251-2}}, at p. 40 (para. 1).</ref> In this way, in-country asylum systems have come to be seen as durable methods of responsibility sharing. Shauna Labman writes about the comparative "fragility and vulnerability" of state resettlement programs in contrast to asylum when she notes the fact that politicians have more control over resettlement levels than they do asylum numbers, and in fact resettlement programs can simply disappear.<ref>Shauna Labman, ''Crossing Law’s Border: Canada’s Refugee Resettlement Program,'' 2019, UBC Press: Vancouver, page 46.</ref> See also: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#Canada does not have a binding legal obligation to accept refugees from abroad for resettlement]]. In contrast, the “non-refoulement” rule has been called "the only binding principle for allocating refugee responsibilities in international law".<ref>Philipp Lutz, Anna Stünzi, Stefan Manser-Egli, ''Responsibility-Sharing in Refugee Protection: Lessons from Climate Governance'', International Studies Quarterly, 25 February 2021, https://doi.org/10.1093/isq/sqab016</ref>
While the phrase “asylum shopping” is sometimes used, the Federal Court has noted that this is "not a legal concept and there is no definition of it in international law. ... In practice the phenomenon, to the extent that it exists, rarely involves a choice between competing asylum systems but consists of an attempt by a person fearing serious harm to select the least uncertain among uncertain options."<ref>''Freeman v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 1839 (CanLII), at para 62, <https://canlii.ca/t/k7zf1#par62>, retrieved on 2024-12-07.</ref>
==== States should do everything in their power to prevent the problem of refugees from becoming a cause of tension between states ====
Section 3(3)(c) of the Act provides that it is to be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and foreign states. This provision can be seen to reflect the preamble to the ''Refugee Convention'', which reads:<blockquote>The High Contracting parties, ... expressing the wish that all States, recognizing the social and humanitarian nature of the problem of refugees, will do everything within their power to prevent this problem from becoming a cause of tension between States, ... have agreed as follows: ...<ref name=":4" /></blockquote>Relatedly, in 1967, the UN General Assembly adopted a ''Declaration on Territorial Asylum'' directed toward States. The Declaration states that granting asylum is a peaceful and humanitarian act that cannot be regarded as unfriendly by any other State.<ref>UNHCR and Inter-Parliamentary Union, ''Refugee Protection: A Guide to International Refugee Law'', <https://www.academia.edu/36070452/REFUGEE_PROTECTION_A_Guide_to_International_Refugee_Law?email_work_card=view-paper> (Accessed December 13, 2020), page 15.</ref> Indeed, the modern refugee regime can be seen as one institution that supports the stability of states and their borders in that it provides a mechanism for individuals to be recognized after they cross a border and arguably may thereby reduce calls for borders to be reconfigured to reflect shifting ethnic or political differences.<ref>Haddad, E. (2008). The Refugee in International Society: Between Sovereigns (Cambridge Studies in International Relations). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/CBO9780511491351, page 137.</ref>
==== The Act should be interpreted in a way that prevents the possibility of “refugees in orbit” ====
Section 3(3)(c) of the Act provides that this statute is to be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and foreign states. Canada’s Senate, in amending relevant bills, has been said to have tried to ensure that the safe third country provisions in the IRPA do not result in “refugees in orbit”, refugees forced to travel from country to country in search of protection.<ref>David Matas with Ilana Simon, Closing the Doors: The Failure of Refugee Protection, Summerhill Press Ltd., Toronto, 1989, {{#isbn:0-920197-81-7}}, page 161.</ref> There are different definitions of what this term means.
The classic "refugees in orbit" were the Jews of antiquity, being admitted to many states on a temporary basis, but securing permanent residence in none. In Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut's words, Christian Europe dubbed them "the wandering Jew" and treated them in accordance with what such otherness implied:<blockquote>
Wanderers seemed to be a natural part of the human landscape; they arrived, stayed and often departed. As long as they were "other" and not allowed to integrate, they presented no political danger. They were simply there to be utilized, and could be discarded when they were of no further use. They had no right to permanent settlement and in a sense remained "refugees in orbit".<ref>W. Gunther Plaut, ''Asylum: A Moral Dilemma'', Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 1995, pages 44-45.</ref></blockquote>
In this way, refugees in orbit may be those who have been displaced and moving - some constantly, some intermittently - for years, even decades or generations.<ref>Siobhán McGuirk, Adrienne Pine, eds., ''Asylum for Sale: Profit and Protest in the Migration Industry'', PM Press: 2020, ISBN: 9781629637822, page 2.</ref> Audrey Macklin provides a more contemporary example of the "refugees in orbit" concept, stating that a “refugee in orbit” situation is constituted when:<blockquote>Country A designates country B as a safe third country, thereby entitling country A to refuse to adjudicate the claim of an asylum seeker who arrived in country A via country B. However, in the absence of a readmission agreement, country B may refuse to re-admit the asylum seeker, and send the person to country C, who may in turn bounce the person concerned to country D, and so on.<ref>Audrey Macklin, “Disappearing Refugees: Reflections on the Canada-US Safe Third Country Agreement” (2005) 36 Colum HRL Rev 365 at 373-74.</ref></blockquote>The phrase and concept of refugees "in orbit" was a common one when the Safe Third Country Agreement provisions were being enacted in Canada's immigration legislation in the 1980s. Specifically, the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs, which examined Bill C-55 in 1988, indicated that they had concerns about the safety involved in the 'safe country' provision of that bill. As Alan Nash describes, it was felt that the bill provided no formal mechanism to examine the fate of people to be returned to the safe third country. Individuals might easily be sent elsewhere by the country, perhaps leading to ''refoulement'' and jeopardizing their lives. The Senate Committee therefore proposed an amendment that would have provided for return to a safe third country only if a Refugee Division member and an adjudicator at an inquiry were convinced that the safe country would be willing to receive the claimant or to determine the individual's claim on its merits. In their view, this would have minimized the danger that asylum-seekers would be put "into orbit" or sent to another country.<ref>Alan Nash, ''International Refugee Pressures and the Canadian Public Policy Response'', Discussion Paper, January 1989, Studies in Social Policy, page 56.</ref> While this recommendation was not accepted, measures were ultimately instituted to prevent this problem. For more details, see [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/IRPR s. 159 - Safe Third Countries]], and in particular Article 3 of the Safe Third Country Agreement, which exists to prevent this.
Also of note, Article 33(1) of the Refugee Convention has long been interpreted as prohibiting not only the direct return of refugees to the country where they fear persecution, but also their indirect return via a third country.<ref>''R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ex p Bugdaycay'' [1987] AC 514, 532.</ref> See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/115-116 - Principle of Non-refoulement]].
==== The Act should be interpreted in a way that is coherent with interpretations by other states party to the Convention ====
Section 3(3)(c) of the Act provides that this statute is to be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and foreign states. Grey argues that the claim of an individual seeking refugee protection is addressed not to the country of refuge as such, but to that country as a representative of the international community.<ref>Colin Grey, Cosmopolitan Pariahs: The Moral Rationale for Exclusion under Article 1F, ''International Journal of Refugee Law'', 2024, eeae025, <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1093/ijrl/eeae025</nowiki></ref> In this way, the IRPA should be interpreted in a way that avoids fragmentary jurisprudence which undermines the coherence of the international protection system.<ref>Mathilde Crepin, ''The Notion of Persecution in the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its Relevance for the Protection Needs of Refugees in the 21st Century,'' Dissertation, King’s College London, 2019, <https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/> (Accessed August 1, 2020), at page 70 of document’s pagination.</ref> Courts in the UK have phrase this obligation thusly: "in principle there can only be one true interpretation of a treaty".<ref name=":12">''R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ex p Adan'' [2001] 2 AC 477, 516 (Lord Steyn).</ref> As such, decisions from the UK frequently stress that each State "must search, untrammelled by notions of its national legal culture, for the true autonomous and international meaning of the treaty".<ref name=":12" /> For the same reason, decisions in Canada frequently canvass jurisprudence from other countries when interpreting the meaning of the Refugee Convention and the IRPA.<ref>See, e.g., ''Ezokola v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2013 SCC 40 (CanLII), [2013] 2 SCR 678, paras. 69-77, <http://canlii.ca/t/fzq5z#par69>, retrieved on 2020-12-19.</ref> This is appropriate given that, in the words of the Plaut report that preceded the establishment of the IRB, "whether or not a person is a refugee is a question which is not so much one of Canada's law; rather, it belongs to the realm of international definition and justice."<ref>W. Gunther Plaut, ''Refugee determination in Canada: A report to the Honourable Flora MacDonald, Minister of Employment and Immigration'', April 1985, Government of Canada publication.</ref> See also: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/The right to be heard and the right to a fair hearing#Decision-making should be predictable and consistent across the Board]].
==== The Act should be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and non-governmental organizations like the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants ====
Section 3(3)(c) of the Act provides that this statute is to be construed and applied in a manner that facilitates cooperation between the Government of Canada and non-governmental organizations. Some of the central non-governmental organizations in the Canadian immigration sphere are the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants and Canada's provincial law societies. As such, the Board should strive to construe and apply the IRPA in a way that facilitates cooperation with those bodies. Issues of this sort can arise where an individual is providing legal advice for consideration without being a member in good standing of such a body and where a member of such a body is acting beyond their allowed scope of practice. See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/91-91.1 - Representation or Advice#IRPA Sections 91-91.1]].

(d) ensures that decisions taken under this Act are consistent with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including its principles of equality and freedom from discrimination and of the equality of English and French as the official languages of Canada;</pre>
==== The fact that Charter rights are at play in Board proceedings means that the extent of procedural fairness owed to claimants is high ====
The Federal Court of Appeal has stated that “The independence of the Board, its adjudicative procedure and functions, and the fact that its decisions affect the Charter rights of claimants, indicate that the content of the duty of fairness owed by the Board, including the duty of impartiality, falls at the high end of the continuum of procedural fairness.”<ref name=":0" /> This obligation arises not only from Canada’s domestic administrative law, but also from Canada’s international commitments and obligations. The Refugee Convention provides that the expulsion of a refugee ‘shall be only in pursuance of a decision reached in accordance with due process of law’.<ref name=":22">Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (adopted 28 July 1951, entered into force 22 April 1954) 189 UNTS 137 (Refugee Convention), Article 32.</ref> In ''Agiza v. Sweden'', the UN Committee against Torture found that article 3 of the CAT carries with it an implicit right to an ‘effective, independent and impartial review of a decision to expel’.<ref>UN doc CAT/C/34/D/233/2003 (20 May 2005).</ref> The Board's duty of fairness is also said to be heightened when it is dealing with self-represented claimants: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/RPD Rules 14-16 - Counsel of Record#The Board has a heightened duty of procedural fairness when dealing with self-represented claimants]].
That said, while this is the common law rule, the extent of procedural fairness in the refugee process has been set out by provisions of the IRPA in many situations and the court notes that "these statutory requirements govern notwithstanding any common law rule."<ref>''Mohammed v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 713 (CanLII), at para 28, <https://canlii.ca/t/k4jc6#par28>, retrieved on 2024-07-03.</ref> See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/170 - Proceedings]].
==== Charter issues should generally be raised before the Division ====
Under most circumstances in the immigration context an applicant is required to raise Charter issues before the relevant administrative tribunal within the respective proceeding. In the present context, for example, the IRB is competent to address Charter issues. If unsuccessful, the claimant would then be able seek leave for judicial review of that decision before the Federal Court.<ref>Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), ''Report on the Situation of Human Rights of Asylum Seekers Within the Canadian Refugee Determination System'', 2000, Inter-Am.

==== Decisions taken under this Act are to be consistent with the principles of equality and freedom from discrimination ====
Section 3(3)(d) of the IRPA provides that the Act is to be construed and applied in a manner that ensures that decisions taken under the Act are consistent with the ''Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'', including its principles of equality and freedom from discrimination. This provision tracks the obligation in Article 3 of the ''Refugee Convention'', which provides that the "Contracting States shall apply the provisions of this Convention to refugees without discrimination as to race, religion or country of origin".<ref name=":19">UN General Assembly, ''Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees'', 28 July 1951, United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 189, p. 137, available at: https://www.refworld.org/docid/3be01b964.html [accessed 25 April 2021].</ref>
One can observe a transformation over the past century in the nature of international migration, including that it has an increasingly multiethnic and global character. When the 1951 ''Refugee Convention'' was being negotiated, it had a primarily European orientation, and the prospect of refugees coming in significant numbers from further afield was thought to be nil. For example, the UK delegate to the conference of plenipotentiaries that negotiated the 1951 Convention, asserted there that "[the risk of European states facing] a vast influx of Arab refugees was too small to be worth taking into account."<ref>Krause, U. Colonial roots of the 1951 Refugee Convention and its effects on the global refugee regime. ''J Int Relat Dev'' (2021). https://doi.org/10.1057/s41268-020-00205-9 at page 17.</ref> This thinking about the makeup and source of refugees seeking asylum has shifted dramatically to the point where today it is recognized that most refugees are in low income countries and that individuals claim asylum in Canada against countries throughout the world. Indeed, it can be observed that while “asylum seeker” is not on its face or ''de jure'' a racial category, in the contemporary Canadian migration regime, it is a ''de facto'' racialized category, comprised largely of non-White persons.<ref>Achiume, E. Tendayi. “Digital Racial Borders.” AJIL Unbound, vol. 115, 2021, pp. 333–338., doi:10.1017/aju.2021.52.</ref>
Board Members are to exercise their discretion without discrimination or reliance on stereotype, as doing so, in the words of the Federal Court, “reveals a level of ignorance and prejudice which is not only unusual in general, but is particularly astonishing on the part of a decision maker who is in a position to adjudicate sensitive claims.”<ref>''Herrera v.

==== In general, in Canada legislation should be presumed to conform to international law ====
Canada is what is referred to as a "dualist state" in that international law and municipal law are treated as separate spheres of law. As such, in order for international obligations undertaken by the state by way of treaty to form part of the national law, these international law rules have to be transformed into national law rules through the use of enabling legislation.<ref>Statement applies ''mutatis mutandis'' to Canada, and is derived from E Macharia-Mokobi, J Pfumorodze, ''Advancing refugee protection in Botswana through improved refugee status determination'', African Human Rights Law Journal 13 (1), 01-26, <<nowiki>http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?pid=S1996-20962013000100008&script=sci_arttext&tlng=es</nowiki>> (Accessed February 5, 2021), page 166.</ref> That said, it is a well-established principle of statutory interpretation that legislation will be presumed to conform to international law.<ref>''R. v.

Sullivan, ''Sullivan and Driedger on the Construction of Statutes'' (4th ed. 2002), at p. 422.</ref> The Supreme Court of Canada articulated this rule in ''Baker v. Canada'' when it adopted the following statement from ''Driedger on the Construction of Statutes:''<blockquote>[T]he legislature is presumed to respect the values and principles enshrined in international law, both customary and conventional. These constitute a part of the legal context in which legislation is enacted and read. In so far as possible, therefore, interpretations that reflect these values and principles are preferred.<ref>''Baker v.

In any event, the court notes that it is not always possible to draw a clear line separating issues of interpretation from issues of application. For example, in ''Ali v. Canada'' the court noted that the breach of the principle of ''non-refoulement'' in that case stemmed from both the Immigration Division’s failure to consider the issue of whether Mr. Ali personally posed a danger to the security of Canada—which related to applying the Act—and of applying an analytical framework stemming from the case law that was not aligned with the principle of ''non-refoulement''—which related more to interpreting the Act.<ref>''Ali v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2025 FC 1682 (CanLII), at para 32, <https://canlii.ca/t/kftdp#par32>, retrieved on 2025-10-14.</ref>
==== International human rights instruments are determinative of the meaning of IRPA, in the absence of a clear legislative intent to the contrary ====
Section 3(3)(f) of the IRPA goes beyond the general principle of statutory interpretation described above. When interpreting any provision of IRPA, account must be had of Canada’s international human rights obligations and provisions should be interpreted in a manner consistent with Canada’s international obligations, where possible. In ''de Guzman v. Canada'' the court commented that the words “shall be construed and applied in a manner that complies with …” are mandatory and appear to direct courts to give the international human rights instruments in question more than persuasive or contextual significance in the interpretation of IRPA. By providing that IRPA “is to be” interpreted and applied in a manner that complies with the prescribed instruments, paragraph 3(3)(f), if interpreted literally, makes them determinative of the meaning of IRPA, in the absence of a clear legislative intent to the contrary.<ref>''De Guzman v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship & Immigration),'' [2005] F.C.J. No. 2119 at para. 75 (F.C.A.).</ref> As Bastarache J. held in ''Pushpanathan,'' the "overarching and clear human rights object and purpose is the background against which interpretation of individual provisions must take place".<ref>''Pushpanathan v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)'', [1998] 1 SCR 982 (Supreme Court of Canada).</ref> That said, unambiguous provisions of the IRPA must be given effect even if they are contrary to Canada’s international obligations or international law.<ref>''Németh v. Canada (Justice),'' 2010 SCC 56, [2010] 3 S.C.R. 281 at para. 35.</ref> Another way of putting this is that the Act is to be interpreted and applied consistently with international instruments to which Canada is signatory, “unless, on the modern approach to statutory interpretation, this is impossible”.<ref>''Freeman v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2024 FC 1839 (CanLII), at para 26, <https://canlii.ca/t/k7zf1#par26>, retrieved on 2024-12-07.</ref>
Sharryn Aiken, et. al., write in ''Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary'' that there was considerable excitement in migrant advocacy circles regarding para 3(3)(f) of the IRPA stating that the Act is to be construed in a manner that "complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory." They note that this provision seemed to provide a potential shortcut for direct access to international human rights principles.<ref>Sharryn Aiken, et al, ''Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary (Third Edition)'', Jan. 1 2020, Emond, ISBN: 1772556319, at page 307.</ref> However, on the basis of the Federal Court of Appeal's decision ''de Guzman v. Canada'' those authors conclude that "The ''de Guzman'' decision ensured that para 3(3)(f) is understood to reflect existing Canadian law with respect to international obligations and therefore to be essentially meaningless window dressing that adds nothing new to the interpretive framework for Canadian immigration law."<ref>Sharryn Aiken, et al, ''Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary (Third Edition)'', Jan. 1 2020, Emond, ISBN: 1772556319, at page 309.</ref>
That said, the courts have held that one of the effects of this provision is to mandate immigration adjudicators to consider relevant international law, including the principle of ''non-refoulement'', regardless of whether or not this has been raised as an argument by the parties.<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Weldemariam,'' 2024 FCA 69 (CanLII), at para 52, <https://canlii.ca/t/k419v#par52>, retrieved on 2024-06-12.</ref>
A question can arise about the meaning of the international human rights instruments that Canada has ratified. For some of those instruments, Canada has signed optional protocols that empower a committee to provide its views on the treaty's requirements. The court has noted that, with respect to the optional protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, in signing the Protocol, Canada did not agree to be bound by the final views of the UN Human Rights Committee, nor did it even agree that it would stay its own domestic proceedings until the Committee gave its views. In other words, neither the Committee's views nor its interim measures requests are binding on Canada as a matter of international law, much less as a matter of domestic law. The party states that ratified the Covenant and the Optional Protocol turned their minds to the question of whether they should agree to be bound by the Committee's views, or whether they should at least agree to refrain from taking any action against an individual who had sought the Committee's views until they were known. They decided as a matter of policy that they should not, leaving each party state, on a case-by-case basis, free to accept or reject the Committee's final views, and equally free to accede to or not accede to an interim measures request.<ref>''Ahani v Canada (Attorney General)'' 2002 CanLII 23589, para. 32.</ref>
==== Regard should be had to international human rights instruments that Canada is signatory to, whether or not Canada has ratified them ====
In ''de Guzman v. Canada'' the court commented that the sources of international law described in paragraph 3(3)(f) comprise some that are binding on Canada in international law, and some that are not. The paragraph applies to instruments to which Canada is signatory. At international law, an instrument is not legally binding on a signatory State until it has also ratified it, unless the instrument provides that it is binding when signed. Signature normally evinces an intention to be bound in the future, although it may also impose an immediate obligation on the signatory not to take measures to undermine the agreement.<ref>''De Guzman v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship & Immigration),'' [2005] F.C.J. No. 2119 at para. 76 (F.C.A.).</ref>
Being a signatory to a treaty has a particular meaning in international law, in that it is usually a step prior to a party becoming a party to the treaty. Article 18(a) of the ''Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties'' provides that "A State is obliged to refrain from acts which would defeat the object and purpose of a treaty when: (a) It has signed the treaty or has exchanged instruments constituting the treaty subject to ratification, acceptance or approval, until it shall have made its intention clear not to become a party to the treaty; ...".<ref name=":13" /> That said, it is apparent that the instruments appropriately covered by this provision are not limited to instruments which Canada has signed, but not ratified. The Supreme Court of Canada has noted, for example, that the Refugee Convention itself is among the instruments appropriately referred to by this provision. See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#The refugee system is inextricably linked with the concept of human rights]].
Regard should be had to exactly the obligations that Canada has signed on to where Canada has made reservations or provided interpretative declarations as part of the process of ratifying a treaty. For example, Canada ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities but made a reservation and interpretative declaration to Article 12 which specifically reserved the right to continue the use of substitute decision-making arrangements “in appropriate circumstances and subject to appropriate and effective safeguards.”<ref>United Nations Treaty Series, “15. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,” vol. 2515, <nowiki>https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/MTDSG/Volume%20I/Chapter%20IV/IV-15.en.pdf</nowiki> (accessed May 15, 2021), p. 4. Canada specifically reserved the right to continue the use of substitute decision-making arrangements “in appropriate circumstances and subject to appropriate and effective safeguards.”.</ref>
==== What are the international human rights instruments to which Canada is a signatory? ====
As the Federal Court of Appeal has noted, the IRPA "does not list, let alone set out the text of, the measures to which paragraph 3(3)(f) applies."<ref name=":8">''de Guzman v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2005 FCA 436 (CanLII), [2006] 3 FCR 655, par. 58, <http://canlii.ca/t/1m8q8#par58>, retrieved on 2020-12-22.</ref> It went on to note that the phrase "international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory" is "far from self-defining".<ref name=":8" /> The Supreme Court of Canada has noted that the Refugee Convention itself is among the instruments appropriately referred to by this provision, see: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#The refugee system is inextricably linked with the concept of human rights]].
The Department of Justice provides the following list, ''International Human Rights Treaties to which Canada is a Party'', which may also serve to inform an interpretation of this provision:<ref>Government of Canada Department of Justice, ''International Human Rights Treaties to which Canada is a Party'', Date modified: 2019-07-30, <https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/abt-apd/icg-gci/ihrl-didp/tcp.html> (Accessed April 17, 2020).</ref>

* The phrase "international human rights instruments" can be taken to include regional instruments in the Inter-American system that Canada has signed. In the words of the Federal Court of Appeal, regional multilateral human rights instruments, such as the ''American Convention on Human Rights'' [adopted at the Inter-American Specialized Conference on Human Rights, San José, Costa Rica, 22 November 1969, O.A.S.T.S. No. 36; 1144 U.N.T.S. 123], may fall within paragraph 3(3)(''f'').<ref>''de Guzman v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) (F.C.A.),'' 2005 FCA 436 (CanLII), [2006] 3 FCR 655, at para 80, <https://canlii.ca/t/1m8q8#par80>, retrieved on 2025-12-03.</ref> Canada is not a party to the ''American Convention on Human Rights''. Nevertheless, as a member of the Organization of American States, it is bound by the terms of the ''American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man'' (“American Declaration”).<ref>Sharryn Aiken, et al, ''Immigration and Refugee Law: Cases, Materials, and Commentary (Third Edition)'', Jan. 1 2020, Emond, ISBN: 1772556319, at page 320.</ref> This instrument specifies the fundamental rights to which each person is entitled, and which each member state of the Organization of American States (OAS), like Canada, is bound to uphold. The OAS Charter and the American Declaration are a source of legal obligations applicable to Canada.<ref>IACtHR, Advisory Opinion OC-10/89 of July 14, 1989, "Interpretation of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man within the Framework of Article 64 of the American Convention on Human Rights," Ser. A No. 10, paras. 45-46.</ref> Canada has also ratified several other inter-American human rights treaties, including the ''Convention on the Nationality of Women'' (1934),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Convention on the Nationality of Women |url=http://hrlibrary.umn.edu/instree/uruguay1933.html |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=hrlibrary.umn.edu}}</ref> the ''Inter-American Convention on the Granting of Political Rights to Women''<ref>Inter-American Convention on the Granting of Political Rights to Women (A-44), 2 May 1948, Can TS 1991 No 29, OASTS No 3 (entered into force 29 December 1954). </ref> and the ''Inter-American Convention on the Granting of Civil Rights to Women''.<ref>Inter-American Convention on the Granting of Civil Rights to Women (A-45), 2 May 1948, Can TS 1991 No 30, OASTS No 23 (entered into force in Canada 23 October 1991). </ref>
* Canada has signed the Geneva Conventions I, II, III, and IV and Protocols I, II, and III. These may be relevant to refugee determinations. For example, the ''Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (1949)'', which at Art. 45, para. 4 prohibits transferring a protected person "to a country where he or she may have reason to fear persecution for his or her political opinions or religious beliefs."<ref>UNHCR, ''Refugee Protection: A Guide to International Refugee Law'', <https://www.academia.edu/36070452/REFUGEE_PROTECTION_A_Guide_to_International_Refugee_Law?email_work_card=view-paper> (Accessed December 13, 2020), page 14.</ref> This instrument forms part of international humanitarian law, not international human rights law, and thus could be argued not to fall within the ambit of IRPA s. 3(3)(f). For example, the International Law Commission has generally distinguished between the two areas of law.<ref>International Law Commission, ''Draft articles on the effects of armed conflicts on treaties, with commentaries,'' 2011, <https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/commentaries/1_10_2011.pdf>, at annex (page 2).</ref> For how they are considered under Canadian law, see the ''Geneva Conventions Act''.<ref>''Geneva Conventions Act'', RSC 1985, c G-3, Schedule V, subsection 2(2)</ref> However, the Federal Court of Appeal accepted in ''Najafi v. Canada'' that Protocol I is an instrument that falls within the meaning of this provision of the IRPA.<ref>''Najafi v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness),'' 2014 FCA 262 (CanLII), [2015] 4 FCR 162, at para 47, <https://canlii.ca/t/gfggh#par47>, retrieved on 2025-08-24.</ref>
Regard may also be had to Canada's ''United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act'', which affirms "the Declaration as a universal international human rights instrument with application in Canadian law".<ref>''United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act'', SC 2021, c 14, s 4, <https://canlii.ca/t/b9q3#sec4>, retrieved on 2024-03-29.</ref>
One of the rationales for applying the IRPA in a manner that complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory is that the Minister can examine ‘interim measures requests’ to refrain from removing foreign nationals. Such requests can be issued by the bodies of four international human rights treaties to which Canada is signatory: the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women; the Convention Against Torture; the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man.<ref>Ahouga, Y. (2024) “Legal and Policy Infrastructures of Returns in Canada. WP2 Country Dossier” in ''GAPs: De-centring the Study of Migrant Returns and Readmission Policies in Europe and Beyond''. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.10836598, page 16.</ref>
When attempting to interpret this term, regard may be had of the interpretation that the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights has given to its constituting protocol, which gives it jurisdiction over the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights as well as "any other relevant Human Rights instrument ratified by the states concerned."<ref>African Union, ''Protocol to the African Charter on Human And Peoples' Rights on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights'', June 10, 1998, <https://au.int/sites/default/files/treaties/36393-treaty-0019_-_protocol_to_the_african_charter_on_human_and_peoplesrights_on_the_establishment_of_an_african_court_on_human_and_peoples_rights_e.pdf>.</ref> That court has provided significant interpretation of this similar phrase, including how instruments can have certain provisions that are human rights ones and other provisions that are not human rights ones.
For some of the above Conventions, it is unambiguous that the IRPA is to be interpreted in conformity with provisions of them; the statute includes an excerpt from the ''Convention against Torture'', for instance: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/2-3 - Definitions, objectives, and application of the IRPA]].
See also the provision of the IRPA regarding ''non-refoulement'' and how that concept relates to some of the above instruments: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/115-116 - Principle of Non-refoulement#Section 115 of the IRPA prohibits refoulement to persecution for a Convention reason, torture, or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment, subject to exceptions]].
==== This provision may not apply to texts which are not signed and customary law ====
Section 3(3)(f) of the IRPA provides that it is to be construed and applied in a manner that complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory. This arguably excludes a number of types of instruments, including:
* <u>Instruments that are not signed:</u> For example, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not a treaty, but instead an unenforceable, non-binding (yet aspirational) resolution of the United Nations General Assembly.<ref>UNGA Res. 217A(III), adopted Dec. 10, 1948</ref> By its terms the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was not designed to describe binding obligations by only a 'common standard of achievement', as stated in the preamble to the declaration.<ref>The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol: A Commentary. Edited by Andreas Zimmermann. Oxford University Press, 2011, 1799 pp. {{#isbn:978-0-19-954251-2}}, ''Preamble 1951 Convention'', by Alleweldt, at p. 232 (para. 28).</ref> As such, given that this document was not signed, and as such countries cannot be said to be signatories to this declaration, it should not be regarded as one of the instruments contemplated by s. 3(3)(f) of the IRPA.
* <u>Customary international law:</u> While there are other cannons of interpretation that read Canadian legislation in conformity with customary international law, such an interpretation would appear not to be required by this provision on its own terms. As such, while the UK Supreme Court has observed that "it may be that the principle of ''non-refoulement'' forms part of customary international law", that fact, if true, is not in itself germane to this provision of the IRPA.<ref>''R (on the application of AAA and others) (Respondents/Cross Appellants) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant/Cross Respondent),'' [2023] UKSC 42, <<nowiki>https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc_2023_0093_etc_judgment_636270e30e.pdf</nowiki>>, para. 25.</ref> But see: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#In general, in Canada legislation should be presumed to conform to international law]].
Special regard may be had to the UNHCR's Guidelines on International Protection. The court notes that while the guidelines are not binding, determinations must be consistent with them because the guidelines were made pursuant to an international instrument to which Canada is a signatory, and as such, the guidelines operate as an international law constraint on the Board's decisions.<ref>''Mina v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2025 FC 1909 (CanLII), at para 14, <https://canlii.ca/t/kgsqm#par14>, retrieved on 2025-12-03.</ref>
==== The refugee system is inextricably linked with the concept of human rights ====
Section 3(3)(f) of the Act provides that it is to be construed and applied in a manner that complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory. The Supreme Court of Canada has held that the ''Refugee Convention'' itself should be considered a “human rights instrument”, within the meaning of s. 3(3)(f) of the Act:<blockquote>s. 3(3)(''f'') instructs courts to construe and apply the ''IRPA'' in a manner that “complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory”. There can be no doubt that the ''Refugee Convention'' is such an instrument, building as it does on the right of persons to seek and to enjoy asylum from persecution in other countries as set out in art. 14 of the ''Universal Declaration of Human Rights''.<ref>''B010 v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration),'' 2015 SCC 58 (CanLII), [2015] 3 SCR 704, par. 49, <https://canlii.ca/t/gm8wn#par49>, retrieved on 2021-04-25.</ref> [internal citations omitted]</blockquote>In addition, the ''Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees'' is also considered to be an international human rights instrument.<ref>''Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness) v. Weldemariam,'' 2024 FCA 69 (CanLII), at para 54, <https://canlii.ca/t/k419v#par54>, retrieved on 2024-06-12.</ref>
This is consistent with the practice of other courts. The preamble to the Convention itself notes that "The High Contracting parties, considering that the United Nations has, on various occasions, manifested its profound concern for refugees and endeavored to assure refugees the widest possible exercise of these fundamental rights and freedoms, ... have agreed as follows:".<ref name=":4" /> Brennan CJ of the High Court of Australia relied on this preamble when making the following comment about the ''Refugee Convention'': "the preamble places the Convention among the international instruments that have as their object and purpose the protection of the equal enjoyment by every person of fundamental rights and freedoms."<ref>''Applicant A v Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs,'' (1997) 190 CLR 225, 231–232 (per Brennan CJ), <https://www.ato.gov.au/law/view/print?DocID=JUD%2F190CLR225%2F00002&PiT=99991231235958>.</ref> In 2018 the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued an Advisory Opinion entitled “The Institution Of Asylum And Its Recognition As a Human Right In The Inter-American System Of Protection” which concluded that asylum is a human right.<ref>Advisory Opinion OC-25/18, as cited in Esraa Adnan Fangary, ''A Peculiar Leap in the Protection of Asylum Seekers: The Inter-American Court of Human Rights' Jurisprudence on the Protection of Asylum Seekers'', The Age of Human Rights Journal, 16 (June 2021) pp. 31-53 ISSN: 2340-9592 DOI: 10.17561/tahrj.v16.6134 at page 35.</ref>
This is also consistent with the practice of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. UNHCR is said to have adopted this approach that sees the ''Refugee Convention'' as a part of human rights law and has pronounced that “the human rights base of the Convention roots it quite directly in the broader framework of human rights instruments of which it is an integral part.”<ref>Hamlin, Rebecca. ''Let Me Be a Refugee: Administrative Justice and the Politics of Asylum in the United States, Canada, and Australia''. New York: Oxford University Press, 2014. Print.</ref> The Commissioner himself has stated: <blockquote>The issue of human rights and the problems of refugees are so inextricably linked that it is hardly possible to discuss one without referring to the other. Human rights violations are a major cause of refugee flows and also a major obstacle to the solution of refugee problems through voluntary repatriation. More positively, safeguarding human rights is the best way to prevent conditions that force people to become refugees; respect for human rights is a key element in the protection of refugees in the country of asylum; and improved observance of human rights standards is often critical for the solution of refugee problems by enabling refugees to return safely home ...<ref>Address of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata to the UN Commission on Human Rights, 1993, as cited in W. Gunther Plaut, ''Asylum: A Moral Dilemma'', Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 1995, page 88.</ref></blockquote>Furthermore, the weight of academic commentary places the ''Refugee Convention'' within the corpus of human rights instruments. McAdam argues that refugee law is a specialized area ''within'' human rights law.<ref>McAdam, J. 2010. Status anxiety: Complementary protection and the rights of non-convention refugees. ''University of New South Wales Faculty of Law Research Series'', working paper 1, University of New South Wales, Sydney.</ref> Similarly, Hathaway argues that refugee rights should be understood as a mechanism by which to answer situation-specific vulnerabilities that would otherwise deny refugees meaningful benefit of the more general system of human rights protection. In this way, he states, "refugee rights do not exist as an alternative to, or in competition with, general human rights."<ref>Hathaway, James C. ''The Rights of Refugees under International Law''. 2nd ed., Cambridge University Press, 2021, page 10.</ref>
This provision in the IRPA should be read in conjunction with section 3(2)(e) of the IRPA, which provides that the objectives of this Act with respect to refugees including upholding Canada’s respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all human beings. These legislative provisions speak to the way that the plight of refugees is inextricably linked with human rights violations. In the words of refugee lawyer David Matas, “the plight of refugees and human rights violations are not two problems, but different facets of the same problem. Human rights violations are at the root cause of mass exoduses.”<ref>David Matas with Ilana Simon, ''Closing the Doors: The Failure of Refugee Protection'', Summerhill Press Ltd., Toronto, 1989, {{#isbn:0-920197-81-7}}, page 274.</ref> See: [[Canadian Refugee Procedure/Principles for the interpretation of refugee procedure#IRPA Section 3(2)(e) - Fair and efficient procedures that maintain integrity and uphold human rights]].
Finally, the fact that asylum is related to human rights does not preclude it from being a branch of other areas of law; in the words of the UK Supreme Court, asylum can perfectly naturally be regarded as an aspect of immigration law.<ref>''R (on the application of AAA and others) (Respondents/Cross Appellants) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant/Cross Respondent),'' [2023] UKSC 42, <https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2023-0093-etc-judgment.pdf>, para. 133.</ref>

assembly of condenser gangs for S.T.C. Radio Receivers.
==P.04 - Editorial==
'''EDITORIAL . . .'''
Life has been brighter this month. The office has assumed a new air of happiness. The reason — our new mantel model, "Tip Top", has been playing in the office, as you'll notice by the photograph at the top of the opposite page. We've heard a lot about the need for auxiliary receivers in the home, and we've always made a point of having two or three sets available. But we never thought that one could prove such a boon in the office. With extraordinary performance, considering its simplicity and I cost, "Tip Top" has been providing a background of soft music which has changed the whole atmosphere of the working day. It makes us feel sure that this little set is bound to find favour with our readers, too. You'll be bound to find a good use for it. Not so bright, however, is the paper position. Every month it becomes harder and harder to obtain supplies of the kind of smooth-finish paper which we have used in the past, and, of course, costs have risen considerably. We feel sure that our readers appreciate decent paper and clean printing, so our problem at the moment is to know how to give you all you want without using too much paper. The solution rests with you. If you can spare a moment we'd greatly appreciate it if you will give us an idea of what type of reading matter suits you best. For example, there is the short-wave section. In one way it is difficult to justify its inclusion in a paper with a policy of "100% Technical Radio", and yet we feel that it is the most accurate and authentic guide of its kind, and that it serves a valuable purpose to the keen radio man. Do you appreciate it, or would you rather have more articles about battery set design? Let us know how you feel about such matters and we'll do what we can to fulfil your requirements. In conclusion we would like to again draw your attention to the Amplifier Championship. This contest is proving a wonderful success in spite of the difficult times through which we are passing. Our greatest care in regard to the Amplifier Championship is that there must be many readers who would find the auditions of boundless interest, yet have not managed to find sufficient energy to fill in the application form for a seat reservation. Of course many have done so, and already more than a hundred have been along to the first three heats, but there must be hundreds more who don't know what they are missing. Action is called for.

'''Shortwave Review.'''
D aylight Reception a t its Best ★ Stations in Frequency Order 4-
Stations in “ Countries” Form ★ A ustralian M ail a t Fadio
Saigon * N. I. R. O. M. will Q. S. L. ★ Full L ist of M onth’s Loggings
ONDITIONS over the last month
can only be described in the one
word, “patchy.”
The unusually warm weather experienced during the week-end of June
15 upset reception, as stations generally putting in a fine signal from 6
a.m. to 9 a.m., were very, very poor.
However, when we have a thunderstorm in the middle of winter, I guess
the short waves figure they have a
right to play up.
'''Daylight Reception Now At Its Best.'''
But we can’t complain; daylight reception is now at its best and with
the short period of "dead spot" from
about 11 a.m. till 1 p.m. and sometimes not as long as this, the principal cities can be heard at terrific
strength, and, what is more important, with almost incredible clarity,
right throughout the day. From 6
p.m. till 9.30 p.m., with: the'exception
of stations north of Australia, there
is a lull, but quite often at this hour
T.nid'm and Europe commence to
trickle through.
'''Choice of Stations.'''
As the night wears on, and definitely by midnight, the choice of stations is very great. /
Listeners at present have a good
opportunity of hearing the Cubans
and South Americans, as from just
after mid-day till closing, which
varies from 2 to 4 p.m., they are
excelling themselves.
Reference to observers’ and listeners’ reports will give a good idea of
just what is coming through.
It has been decided to print most,
all if space permits, reports that are
received, rather than have readers
wade through a list of countries to
find out just what stations are being
heard.
'''Stations in Frequency Order.'''
We will also print each alternate
month a list of stations in frequency
order. This should enable a listener
to look up at once any station he is
hearing and of which he is doubtful.
The list referred to commences with
August issue.
'''Stations in "Countries" Form.'''
September issue will carry the stations in “Countries” form. I would
appreciate opinions as to how the new
system appeals.
Since I have been conducting these
pages, I have been compelled to
chronicle the loss of some of our wellknown and regular transmitters. Unfortunately there are still more to be
added to the already formidable list.
This month records “Paris Mondial.”
Admittedly, we still hear “This is
Paris Mondial, the French Government Short Wave Station,” but is it?
I venture to suggest that when I
heard them on Saturday, June 15, at
2.15 p.m. on 31.51 metres, it was NOT
our usual announcer, and am inclined
to believe the speaker was NOT a
Frenchman.
I have heard London say on several
occasions, "A Paris radio message
says------but this most likely refers
to a broadcast band.
I do not know whether Berlin has reduced their power of a night, but
lately London is heard much earlier,
whereas the reverse was the rule, at
my location anyway.
Call sign of Moscow station on
ll,900kc., 25.21m., is RIG.
Radio Saigon puts over a Letter
Bag session every Tuesday at 8.55
p.m.
'''Radio Saigon Gets Mail from Australia.'''
Judging by names and addresses
called last Tuesday, their mail from
Australia and New Zealand is of fair
proportions.
Talking of letters bags, TAP, Ankara (9465kc., 31.70m.), acknowledges
letters from listeners on Sunday
mornings, following their English
talk at 6.50.
As is usual in winter time, WBOS
(31.35m.) are responsible for the hum
that is heard on KZRM (31.35m.)
from 8.30 p.m. onwards.
'''N.I.R.O.M. Will QSL.'''
N.I.R.O.M., Batavia, now send a
QSL card in addition to a station
booklet when verifying correct
reports.
JZK, Tokyo (15,160kc., 19.79m.), in
addition to a special session for
Hawaii in English and Japanese from
5 to 6 p.m., also conduct a special
hour for the Near East from 1 a.m.
to 2 a.m. English, Arabic, Hindustan,
Burmese and Japanese are used.
'''Java.'''
The N.I.R.O.M. (Batavia) seem to be
on the air much longer than as previously. In fact, I was told that several of their transm itters are continuously on the air.
We have a more than ordinary interest in the Dutch East Indies at
present, and I do wish that one of
their many news sessions could be
put over in English.
If you want to hear a signal tune
to YD A (61.22rn.) from 9 o’clock
onwards.
Mr. S. I. Nelson (Cairns, Q.) advises that TAQ, Ankara (19.74m.), is
back on the air again and gives news
in English at 10.15 p.m. Perhaps this
is the reason for the hum on top of
DJB at 10 o’clock.
'''Verification Received.'''
I have received a very dignified
QSL card (black script on pink cardboard) from KZRC, “The Voice of
Cebu,” “Cebu City, Philippines. It is
a verification of my report of March
27. The owners are H. E. Heacock
Co., and the card is signed by our old
friend, Harry Fenton, as manager.
Mr. Fenton will be remembered as
the news commentator some time ago
on KZRM.
Station particulars are: 6100kc.,
49.18m., 1000 watts, also long wave
(1200kc.), 1000 watts.
No time schedule is given, but I
understand it to be: 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.,
7 p.m. to 1 a.m.
'''Hints On Sending For Verifications.'''
When sending reports to foreign countries, it is well to spell the date out, as, say for example, May 1st. If written as 1/5/40, it would be taken in some countries, particularly America, as January 5, ’40.
'''Hams.'''
Although American amateurs are forbidden to "talk" to foreign stations, there appears to be plenty on the air that can still be heard. Here is a "bag" from '''Dr. Gaden''': 10 metres: W6- DGE, RDI, PKT, GOQ, SIM, DLW, QLD; W5BB; W7- GMB, W4HRF, K6SHZ, K6TCF. 20 metres: Plenty of W’s, IvA’s and K6’s — too common to list. C02GY, frequently heard, as also KF6JET, KF6JG, K4GMT, K7GMM, KC6HFS (gave 14,330kc.), ..KC6GK (gave 14,325kc.) KC60KS, KG6MU, KG6- PMV. Listeners will see there is quite a lot of sport to be had from the above loggings, as they cover a very wide range and take in a fair amount of territory that is in the limelight at the moment, such as Canton Is., Baker, Howland and Enderburv Is. Jarvis Is. (KG6) is also listed. Dr. Gaden regrets that, his knowledge of Spanish prevented him from deciphering a very strong signal in a talk between a K4 and a “ham” in Buenos Aires. The K4 was R Max.. Q5, and the B.A. R6, Q5.
The Empire A .C. All-wave Three. Tunes continuously from 12.5 to 600 metres. Full description in issue of Dec., 1937.
'''A New Cuban.'''
Inadvertently, the following par was omitted from last issue:— COCSD, 11.75mc., 25.92m., Havana: 10.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. Reported by '''Dr. Gaden''' as weak on opening, but at good strength when closing. Receiving advice from U.S.A. on this new station, I mentioned it in a letter to Dr. Gaden, and sure enough he logged it. The station promised that those sending reports which were verified would be rewarded by view cards and booklets. Address: Senor Batista, P.O. 625. In reporting it, Dr. Gaden said he heard some remarks about call sign COK. The explanation, according to an American mail just to hand, is that they were operating first under the call sign COCSD, but latterly under COK. It is quite probable the station is now off the air, as it was used for the elections.

The Month’s Loggings
ALL TIMES ARE AUSTRALIAN EASTERN STANARD.
Official Observer '''Arthur T. Cushen''' (Invercargill, N.Z.) writes:— '''HCJB Ecuador''' (24.08m.), proud of their new 10,000 watt transmitter, have forwarded a souvenir booklet. They are most anxious for reports from Australia. '''YSP El Salvador''' (10,400 kc., 28.85 m.) is being heard well all over N.Z. around 3 p.m. Signals at times are very good. '''HP5A''' heard closing with good signals at 2 p.m. '''COK Havana''' (11.6mc., 25.92m.) a new station, was heard last month at good signal strength, but, owing to bad modulation and interference has only been identified as the call was hard to p«ck. The address is Box 625, Havana. All verified reports will be acknowledged by free coloured photos of Cuba. (See special note elsewhere.— Ed .). Although signals are weaker, '''COHI''' (6.46mc.) is still being heard at 10.30 p.m. '''CFRX''' (6.07mc., 49.42m.) was heard on one occasion closing at 2.30 p.m. Station is in Toronto, Canada, and is operated by the Rodger Radio Corp.

This can be heard again at 7.30.— Ed.). '''STOP PRESS''' '''KGEI''', Treasure Island, San Francisco, is now on 9670kc., 31.02m., from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., but from 9.30 a.m. to 2.15 p.m. on 15,330kc., 19.56m., as usual. Re '''Mozambique'''. A letter to hand states they have changed to 30.88m., the station being CR7BE, which was on 9.64mc., and was then badly interfered with. The change was made on March 25. They ask for reports.

(Since this advice they have moved to ll,8 3 0 k c ., 25.36m ., e vidently to get aw ay from WLWO, who strangely enough interfere with Delhi on 31.28m .— E d ).
Official Observer '''Wm. Bantow''' ( Edithvale, Vic.) received a letter from Delhi also regarding VUD-4. (See rem arks under M r. Chapm an's report.;— E d .).

'''Changes of Schedule'''
London now gives news at 11
p.m., instead of 11.15.
FG8AA (49.00m.), Noumea, is
now heard daily, except Sundays,
from 5.30 to 6.30 p.m. When
closing down, the Marseillaise is
played, followed now by “God
Save the King.”
'''Europeans in Wonderful Form.'''
'''Dr. Keith B. Gaden''' (Tharmogindah, Q.)
Here is what Dr. Gaden says about his
loggings: "From daylight to d ark the Europeans are in wonderful form , and the U .S.A .
and S. A m ericans are well on the improve.
From 2 p.m. I found ten worthwhile signals
between XEWW (3 1 .58 m .) and COCQ
'3 3 .9 8 m .), all of which sounded like Cubans
or S.A .'s.
TGWA (3 0 .98 m .) is very nice and clear at
2 p.m ., much better than XEQQ alongside.
TG-2 Guatemala, a t R7, Q5, gave its call
sign in plain English.
A t 2.45 p.m . heard a very powerful South
A m erican on approxim ately 31.77m . (Th is
was probably HCODA Guyaquil, Ecuador, 9445
kc., 31.77m .— E d .).
R E P O R T S W E L C O M E D
With the international situation as it now stands, it is becoming increasingly difficult to
keep track of European stations,
which more than ever are taking
advantage of the short-wave prerogative of changing schedule
without notice; therefore reports
will be welcomed.
Even a few words may enable
us to identify the “stranger,” of
which there seems to be many at
the moment.
A t 5.30 W LW O (4 9 .5 m .), "T h e N ation's
Statio n," closes with a very strong signal.
FX8AA opens up nicely at 5.30. (Th is
Noumean station which was heard only on
W ednesdays and Saturdays, is now on the
a ir daily except Sunday.— E d .).
A t 6 p.m. w hat I take to be COCH was
coming through at great volum e, and what
I think was COCW cam e in a t good strength
a t 9.40 p.m.
Moscow gives a very fine signal a t 2.30
p.m. on 25.75m ., but no English was heard.
(Moscow, on 19.76, gives a ta lk in English
a t 10.15 a .m ., followed by news in English;
reception for the last week has been exce llent.— E d .).
H12G Trujillo (9.29m c., 3 2.29m .) opens at
2.30 p.m . with chim es, then a vocal hymn,
followed by lady speaker. Q uality of signal
is poor.
Am ongst the morning stations heard, the
following are worthy of m ention:—
YUG Belgrade (1 9 .68 m .) is very good at
noon.
Martinique (30.92m.) opens up a t 8.30 a.m .
Session is in French, and is generally gone
by 10, although the other day it was quite
O .K . at this hour.
'''An Interesting Item.'''
Heard a most interesting item on June 12
from YUC (3 1 .56 m .) at 9 a.m . W hilst the
q uality was poor, I was able to learn th at a
representative of the N .B.C . was to give a
talk. A ll the N .B .C . stations re-broadcast it,
and W RCA (3 1 .0 2 ), who are very good at
this tim e, put over an R8, Q5 signal. The
ta lk , which was certainly worth hearing, dealt
with the Yugoslav reaction to Italy's entry
into the W ar.
Other morning stations a re : PSH Brazil
(2 9 .35 m .) good a t 9 a .m ., weakens by 10.
PYA-2 Rio de Janiero (3 2 .59 ) poor a t 8 a.m .,
fa ir a t 9.
PRF5 (2 5 .3 ) was not heard as DJP (2 5 .32 )
is very strong. Just above PYA-2, same
strength, is HC2ET Guyaquil (3 2 .6 4 m .). They
were heard at 8 a.m .
To-day (Ju n e 1 5 ), at 9.5 a.m . on 29m .,
were chim es very sim ilar to that of ORK.
Q uality was poor. A t 10 a.m . the two C hilian
stations, CB-1180 (2 5 .12 m .) and CB-1190
(2 5 .19 m .) were noted and an A sia tic on ap
proxim ately 25.18m . (T h is is probably XGOV,
"Th e Voice of C h in a ."— E d .).
CSW-7 (3 0 .8 ) was still on, but only fa ir;
HJFK (3 0 .8 3 ) good and clear.
Just above GRX at only fa ir quality wnar
was most likely LRA-1 (3 0 .9 6 m .).
W ould especially draw your attention to
WBOS (3 1 .35 m .) in their News Flashes at
3.35 p.m ., which are excellent and, as events
have turned out, accurate.
* * *
Mr. '''S. I. Nelson''' <AW 577-DX), Cairns,
Queensland, sends an interesting report and
advises hearing one or two "stra n g e rs." The
first w as on 26.2m . and sounded like Spanish
closing a t 5.30 p.m. (T h is m ay have been
TG5JG Guatemala, who operate on 26.22m .,
but who are supposed to go o ff the a ir a t
1.30.— E d .).
The second is on 24.15m . and sounded
like Russian. T h is closed at 5.45 p.m. (It
is quite possible it m ay have been Moscow;
they have sprung m any surprises lately as
regards frequencies. They are likely to bob up
anyw here.— E d .).
'''Several New German Transmitters.'''
Mr. Nelson says he heard several new
German transm itters on H itler's birthday.
(The two mentioned, v iz ., DXD (2 8 .5 m .) and
DZB (29.86m .) are used for transm issions to
A m erica. According to m y records the schedule is 9 to 10 a.m . and 6 a.m . to 1.45 p.m .,
respectively.— E d .).
I used to hear regularly CXA7 Montevideo
(2 6 .13 m .) at 10 p.m ., but have not logged
them lately. (I th in k they can be heard round
about m id-day.— E d .).
Some of the best Central and South A m ericans a re : TIPG, HP5A, COCH, COCQ, HP5J,
CB1180, HJFK. The two M exicans, XEWW
and XEQQ, put in loud signals a t Cairns in
the afternoon.
A nother -mystery station is on 32.5m . in the
m ornings. It is interfered w ith by C .W . and
is still on the a ir a t 8 a.m . (T h is is very
likely PYA-2 Rio de Janiero, 32.59m .— E d .).
The 49 m etre band is never of e n terta in
ment level here. O ccasionally it brightens
up and a few stations are heard. I have
logged the new M anila station, KZRC, "Th e
Voice of C eb u," although very w eak here. I
have just finished listening to COCQ. They
gave an English session from 10 to 10.15 p.m.
(S u n d a y). The Russian on 25.77m . w as on

WITH THE REPORTERS.
With the exception of Tasmania, South Australia and West
Australia, reports have reached
us from all over Australia and

Mr. Alf. Deppeler (A W 535-D X), Edmonton,
via Cairns, Q., sends a great list of loggings secured on two receivers, a 4 -valve t.r.f. and a 7 -valve all-w ave vibrator.
GST, GSJ and GSH are classed as erratic,
some nights being good. (Just as I commenced to write these notes (9.35 P - m . , June 27 ), I turned on the receiver and to my surprise I found all the three London transmitters on 13 metres audible, GSJ being surprisingly good. The signal was infinitely better than ZHP Singapore, and every word of the B .B .C . news could be heard.— E d .).
New Station?
Official Observer Wm. Bantow
(AW353-DX), Edithvale, Victoria, advises as having heard Szechwan, on ll,920kc., 25.17m., with a strong signal a t 8.30 p.m. At 9.15 p.m. they gave call sign as ZGOX and XGOV.
(This station is also heard as ‘'The Voice of China” at 7.30 a.m. with news in English.—Ed.).
GSG (1 6 .8 6 ) very scratchy around 9.30 p.m.
GSB, GSF and GSD are classed as good, GSF even being heard some nights at 9.30. GRX, GSW and GSA are classed as weak. (The interval signal on foreign broadcasts is actually a metronome.— E d .).
GST (2 5 .2 9 ) good at 10.30 a.m .
VLR strong at 6.30 p.m . and most of the night. VLW -3 very strong in early morning and late afternoons. VLW very good nightly.
VPD-2 Suva, good a t 8.30 p .m .; FK8AA (4 9 m .) fair 6.20 p.m .; 2RO-3 (3 1 .1 3 ) good between 4 and 5 p.m. 2RO-20 (1 6 .87 m .) heard at 1.30 p.m . on Sunday in special broadcast to U.S^A. 2RO-4 (2 5 .4 0 m .) good at 8.15 a.m .
M r. Deppeler finds most of the German transmitters O .K ., particularly DJL (1 9 .85 m .) at 3.15 p.'m.
YDC, PLP, JZ K , JVW -3, KZRM , ZBW,
KZRH and YDX are all classed as good to very good.
RW96 (1 9 .7 6 ) very loud in afternoon. (Incidentally, this is one of the loudest stations on the air at 8.30 a.m ., when news in English is given.— E d .).
W NBI, W PIT, EAQ, TAP, COCQ and RNE good.
(Thanks, M r. Deppeler, hope to hear from you again .— E d .).
Mr. N. E. Gandy < Wellington, N.Z.) sends
another fine list of loggings, and it would appear most of the stations received in A u stra lia are being heard across the Tasm a r.
Best reception times are 5-30 to 8 a.m .
10.30 a.m . to 1 p.m ., 2 .30 p.m . to 5 p.m.
After that, things are patchy. The difference in ti'me helps N .Z ., as they get an hour and a half with CFRX (2 5 .60 ) on Sunday afternoons, 3 to 4.30 p.m. (5 to 6.30 .Z . . London, Rome, America and the East all give fine signals, while the South Americans, as well as Central America, are all given good reports.
T6PG Costa Rica (31.19m .) is specially mentioned, as also is OAX4J Peru (32.12m . . Manila is being heard well, KZRM and K ZIB having choice of place.
Regret that pressure of space prevents list being given in full. (Always glad to hear from the North Island. Please write again, Mr. Gandy.— E d .).

{{center/top}}[[File:The Earth seen from Apollo 17.jpg|thumb|'''Yubjo, ha mir gonbio yansauna gabyuxea dalzeyn.''' (''In the near future, the world will share a common auxiliary language.'')]]{{center/end}}
'''Mirad''', formerly known as '''Unilingua''', is an artificially constructed auxiliary language ([http://www.quetzal.com/conlang.html conlang]) developed and published in 1966 by the now-deceased Paris-based author Noubar Agopoff as a serious medium for easy and logical international communication. Mirad, which means ''world speech'', and is pronounced ''mee-RAHD'', is categorized by constructed language experts as '''''taxonomic''''' or '''''ontological''''', because its vocabulary is mapped letter-by-letter to a semantic ontology or thesaurus. Also, the word-stock of Mirad is considered '''''a priori''''', meaning that there is no deliberate association with words or roots in existing natural languages. The vocabulary is '''''from scratch''''', yet based on internal lexical and semantic rules that help the learner to construct and deconstruct derivations '''''sytematically, logically, mnemonically, and consistently'''''.
The author claims in his book <u>''Unilingua -- Langue universelle auxiliaire''</u><ref>[http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL2124066A/Noubar_Agopoff Agopoff, Noubar. Unilingua: Langue universelle auxiliaire, D-2647-66]</ref> that this language is well-suited for '''''universal''''', '''''logical''''' communication because it is based on principles already exploited globally by sciences like mathematics and chemistry, where symbolic formulas are constructed in accordance with strict rules and a limited sequence of symbols understood by all practitioners.
== Principles ==
Mirad is constructed on the following principles:
::* Every vowel has '''''numeric, vectorial, scalar, semantic, or grammatical value'''''.
::* Every consonant is '''''meaningful''''' either lexically or grammatically.
::* Word derivation is '''''systematic, consistent, analogical, and mnemonic'''''.
::* Words are as '''''ontologically unambiguous''''' as possible.
::* Words are as '''''short and as easy to pronounce''''' as possible.
::* Inflection and derivation of words is '''''regular and predictable'''''.
::* Word opposites differ only in the stem vowel ('''iva'''....''happy''; '''uva'''....''sad'').
::* Words that have similar meanings will share all but one or two letters ('''iva'''....''happy''; '''ivra''' ....''joyful'').
::* All words in the language are constructed from fewer than '''''500 building blocks'''''.
::* Vocabulary in specialized and scientific fields is built on '''''internationally agreed conventions'''''.
::* The grammatical rules are '''''regular''''' and as simple as possible.
::* The vocabulary is totally '''''a priori and neutral''''' and not based on any existing language.
::* Formatives (derivational and inflexional prefixes, infixes, and suffixes) are '''''nonexponential''''', that is, each one has only one purpose or meaning. In other words, the language is non-fusional.
== Changes from earlier version ==
:This book contains a revision of the language with additions and modifications to the original. The principal changes are:
::* The writing system now consists only of letters of the Latin alphabet, with '''''no diacritics'''''.
::* The letter '''w''' was added to mark the '''''passive voice''''' of verbs, among other things.
::* The letter '''s''' was changed to sound like the ''s'' in English ''<u>s</u>un''.
::* The letter '''x''' was changed to sound like the ''sh'' in English ''<u>sh</u>ow''.
::* The letter '''c''' was changed to sound like the ''ch'' in English ''<u>ch</u>air''.
::* The letter '''h''' was added, mainly to create a systematic set of '''''determiners''''' like ''this'', ''that'', and ''every''.
::* The letter '''q''' was added for certain scientific words and outside-imported words such as '''daiqiri''' or '''Qatar'''.
::* Grammatical '''''cases were eliminated''''' and replaced by prepositions.
::* Some '''''prepositions''''' and conjunctions were changed or added.
::* The definite article '''ha''' (''the'') was introduced.
::* Much '''''new vocabulary''''' was added and some words were altered.
::* The system of '''''determiners''''' was overhauled.
::* The manner of '''''encoding names of chemicals, metrical units, names of animals and plants''''' and other entities was changed.
::* The language was '''''gender-neutralized''''' but provided the means to mark gender where necessary.
::* The concept of hybrid words was created, such as '''yaob''' (''up and down'').
[https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Linnaean_taxonomy|international Linnaean Taxonomy].
== Conventions in this book ==
: In this book:
::* Words in Mirad are '''boldfaced'''.
::* Words in English that are translations of Mirad are ''italicized''.
::* Technical grammatical terms in English are both '''''boldfaced and italicized'''''.
: For example:
::* The Mirad word '''van''' means ''that'' and is a '''''positive subordinating conjunction.'''''

== Vocabulary Built on Native Roots ==
<noinclude>{{status|100%}}</noinclude>
: In English, we have many words like ''ichthyology'', which baffle younger speakers of the language, because they are borrowed from a foreign language, in this case, classical Greek. This word, which could just as easily and more rationally be the Anglicized ''fishlore'', means the science of fish. If a word in English relates to fish, why is ''fish'' not a part of the word? Even for modern day Greeks to understand the word '''ιχθυολογία (ichthyologia)''', they have to know the ancient root '''ιχθύς (ichthys)''' for ''fish'', which has long been supplanted by the current word everyone uses, '''ψάρι (psari)'''. What I'm saying is that the vocabulary of English, as is the case in many other natural languages, is a hodgepodge of borrowings, irregular spellings, and words cobbled from obscure roots that have little recognizability for the average speaker.
: While English is a melting pot of words, there are some languages that do less borrowing and less non-discriminate formation of words that do not associate with one another through some root or pattern. Icelandic, for example, does not borrow very much from other languages and its words are formed using roots familiar to speakers of that language. The Icelandic word for ''library'' is '''bokasafn''', which literally, is ''book collection ( = saving)''. Any child in that language knows what the word means immediately, because it is composed of root words that are obvious. The simple English word ''library'' has nothing to do with the English word ''book'', just as ''cerebral'' has nothing to do with the word ''brain''.
: Arabic, by contrast, is a language that has a system of word-building based on a rational association of consonants and vowel patterns, such that most words relating to books and writing contain the three consonants '''k-t-b'''. Over the centuries, the system has been polluted with irregularities, but at least the consciousness of associations of words based on a root pattern is there and is still used today to coin new words.
[[File:Ozgur bilgi logo 6.png|thumb|]]
: In Turkish, the bulk of words having to do with ''knowledge'' contain the native root '''bil-''' ('''know'''). Because of this, most of these words will be grouped on the same pages in a dictionary. For example: '''bildik''' ''known'', '''bildirim''' ''announcement'', '''bilecen''' ''know-it-all'', '''bilgi''' ''knowledge'', '''bilgili''' ''knowledgeable'', '''bilgin''' ''scholar'', etc. A word such as '''unknowability''' inevitably contains the root '''bil''' and can be learned fairly easily by a young student of the language.
: Mirad has a vocabulary-building system with approximately 500 morphemes (word atoms or vocabulary building blocks) that are used to form derived words in the same sense family in accordance with a set of word-building rules. Words that are related semantically will share the same bulk of letters. (This type of language is called [[wikt:oligosynthetic|oligosynthetic]]. For example, '''iva''' (''happy''), '''ivla''' (''glad''), and '''ivra''' (''delighted'') share the root morpheme '''iv-''' and differ only in one letter. The opposite of happy is derived by switching the vowel in the root morpheme from '''i''' to the negative counterpart '''u''', such that '''uva''' means ''sad''. Similarly, '''uvla''' (''woeful'') and '''uvra''' (''tragic'') are opposite counterparts to the extended '''iv-''' words.
: In Mirad, every letter of a word has some semantic or grammatical function. All words are part of a system. If you know the word for ''to lengthen'', then you automatically know the word for ''to shorten''. The rules for deriving new words from existing words are consistent across the language. In Mirad, there is no such thing as irregular conjugation of verbs as in English ''write, wrote, written''. Nouns are pluralized in one way only across the board, unlike the multiple, unpredictable ways German and Arabic words are pluralized. Prepositions have one meaning, as contrasted with the multiple, inscrutable meanings of Russian or Latin prepositions.
: Words in Mirad are pronounced as they are written, with no exceptions. Only Roman letters are used in the alphabet, and there are no pesky diacritics (accents). Word stress is regular.
: What if we took this root association to the maximum degree and ensured that all words in a language were constructed on logical, associational, and regular principles with roots that are obvious to the learner? That would be the way Mirad does it.
== Deriving Opposites by Vowel-switching ==
: A very simple principle in Mirad is that a good portion of the vocabulary can be guessed by the learner without looking up words in the dictionary. All descriptive adjectives can be changed to their opposite with a simple change of vowel. For example, if you know '''fia''' (''good''), then you automatically know '''fua''' (''bad''). This is possible by knowing the rule of contrastive vowels: '''i''' is a positive vowel and contrasts with '''u''', a negative vowel. Similarly, '''a''' contrasts with '''o''', so that the opposite of '''aza''' (''strong'') is--you guessed it--'''oza''' (''weak''). In fact, if you know that '''e''' is an intermediate vowel, then you understand that '''eza''' means ''moderate''. These simple principles of word-building mean that students of the language can cut down on their learning time by at least 50%.
== Using Consonants and Vowels to Vary Domains ==
: Another principle is that the beginning and/or closing consonants of a word in Mirad give you clues as to the meaning. All sentient creatures have the final stem consonant '''t''', such that '''dat''' (''friend''), '''tot''' (''god''), '''at''' (''I''), '''tuzut''' (''artist''), and '''pit''' (''fish'') all refer to sentient creatures. The root stems of all words having to do with communication, begin with the letter '''d''', eg. '''der''' (''to say''), '''dud''' (''answer''), '''dyes''' (''book''), '''dal''' (''speech''), etc. The internal vowels of root stems very often indicate concepts such as ''sky'', ''land'', ''sea'' or ''up'' vs. ''down'', or ''zeroth'', ''first'', ''second'', or ''toward the speaker'' vs. ''away from the speaker'', and on and on.
== Scalarization ==
: In English, as in many other languages, there was probably some attempt to associate words in this way. Take for example, the series ''sing'', ''sang'', ''sung'', ''song'', ''singer'', ''songstress'' or ''drip'', ''drop'', ''droop'', ''dribble''. More often than not, there is very little association among English words that are obviously distinguished by the one feature, '''''size''''', eg. ''mountain'', ''hill'', ''knob'', ''bump'', ''pimple''. In Mirad, these are all distinguished regularly by a scalarizing enumerative vowel. The Mirad days of the week are not a series of Roman- or Teutonic-related concepts, '''Moon-day''', '''Tiw's-day''', '''Woden's-day''', '''Thor's-day''', '''Freya's-day''', '''Saturn-day''', and '''Sun-day''', all of which are a matter of memorization by the child or student of the language. Mirad days of the week consist rather of a series of words numerically arranged "day-one, day-two, day-three, etc." This is actually the approach taken by quite a few natural languages like Portuguese.
: The months, too, ought to be learned in 10 seconds, by knowing that an internal vowel of the root expresses the numerical order of the months. Again, there are some natural languages that do this. By knowing that '''jiab''' means '''month one, January''', then by knowing how to count in the language, the word for September can be readily deduced as '''ji<u>yu</u>b''' (''month <u>nine</u>'', '''yu''' being the number for ''9'').
== Taxonomy ==
[[File:Biological classification L Pengo vflip.svg|thumb|]]
: The formulaic language of chemistry is a pretty good likeness of Mirad. There is a world-recognized symbolic, taxonomic relationship between H<sub>2</sub>O and C<sub>2</sub>O. Similarly, in Mirad, the stem vowels of the names of animals indicate their primary habitat: air, land, sea, or combinations of these. Other combinations of letters indicate whether the animal is domestic, predatory, wild, etc. From then on, syllables taken from their Linnaeus classification are used. Likewise, with human and animal body terms, the stem vowel indicates location on the body, such as head, trunk, or limbs. Then another vowel delineates in a directional way where on the head: upper, middle, lower, and so forth. Just by looking at the word for a body part for the first time, by knowing the system, you can tell at least approximately that it is, say, a higher part of the leg. Color words are based on their position on nature's color spectrum. Governmental and courtly powerholders and other hierarchical elements are ranked by an ordinal vowel, eg. '''adeb''' (''emperor''), '''edeb''' (''monarch''), '''ideb''' (''prince''), '''udeb''' (''duke''), etc. The names of the planets are enumerated by their relative distance from the sun, so: '''<u>a</u>mer''' (planet <u>1</u> = Mercury), '''<u>e</u>mer''' (planet <u>2</u> = Mars), '''<u>i</u>mer''' (planet <u>3</u> = Earth), etc. Chemical element names are formed from their international abbreviation.
== Mnemonics ==
Words in the language can be mnemonically associated to body terms by changing the initial domain consonant accordingly, so, while '''teb''' means ''head'', '''xeb''' in the '''x''' or ''work/action domain'' is ''boss'', '''deb''' in the social/political domain is ''leader'', etc.
: The following chart shows in this mnemonic echoing in action, where the letters before '''-ub''' suggest the domain:

</div>
== Conclusion ==
Mirad uses many different techniques to short-cut the difficulty of learning new words or recognizing terms. The vowels, consonants, mnemonics, scalarization, taxonomy and many other methods are used to make the vocabulary as rational and intuitive as possible. Unlike in most natural languages, words like ''snow'' and ''sleet'' are going to have sounds in common in Mirad. I have never found a language other than Mirad where the words for ''ice'', ''water'', and ''steam'' are derived from one another even though we know they are actually all H<sub>2</sub>O in different physical states.

== Deriving Opposites by Vowel-switching ==
: A very simple principle in Mirad is that a good portion of the vocabulary can be guessed by the learner without looking up words in the dictionary. All descriptive adjectives can be changed to their opposite with a simple change of vowel. For example, if you know '''fia''' (''good''), then you automatically know '''fua''' (''bad''). This is possible by knowing the rule of contrastive vowels: '''i''' is a positive vowel and contrasts with '''u''', a negative vowel. Similarly, '''a''' contrasts with '''o''', so that the opposite of '''aza''' (''strong'') is--you guessed it--'''oza''' (''weak''). In fact, if you know that '''e''' is an intermediate vowel, then you understand that '''eza''' means ''moderate''. These simple principles of word-building mean that students of the language can cut down on their learning time by at least 50%.
== Using Consonants and Vowels to Vary Domains ==
: Another principle is that the beginning and/or closing consonants of a word in Mirad give you clues as to the meaning. All sentient creatures have the final stem consonant '''t''', such that '''dat''' (''friend''), '''tot''' (''god''), '''at''' (''I''), '''tuzut''' (''artist''), and '''pit''' (''fish'') all refer to sentient creatures. The root stems of all words having to do with communication, begin with the letter '''d''', eg. '''der''' (''to say''), '''dud''' (''answer''), '''dyes''' (''book''), '''dal''' (''speech''), etc. The internal vowels of root stems very often indicate concepts such as ''sky'', ''land'', ''sea'' or ''up'' vs. ''down'', or ''zeroth'', ''first'', ''second'', or ''toward the speaker'' vs. ''away from the speaker'', and on and on.
== Scalarization ==
: In English, as in many other languages, there was probably some attempt to associate words in this way. Take for example, the series ''sing'', ''sang'', ''sung'', ''song'', ''singer'', ''songstress'' or ''drip'', ''drop'', ''droop'', ''dribble''. More often than not, there is very little association among English words that are obviously distinguished by the one feature, '''''size''''', eg. ''mountain'', ''hill'', ''knob'', ''bump'', ''pimple''. In Mirad, these are all distinguished regularly by a scalarizing enumerative vowel. The Mirad days of the week are not a series of Roman- or Teutonic-related concepts, '''Moon-day''', '''Tiw's-day''', '''Woden's-day''', '''Thor's-day''', '''Freya's-day''', '''Saturn-day''', and '''Sun-day''', all of which are a matter of memorization by the child or student of the language. Mirad days of the week consist rather of a series of words numerically arranged "day-one, day-two, day-three, etc." This is actually the approach taken by quite a few natural languages like Portuguese.
: The months, too, ought to be learned in 10 seconds, by knowing that an internal vowel of the root expresses the numerical order of the months. Again, there are some natural languages that do this. By knowing that '''jiab''' means ''month one, January'', then by knowing how to count in the language, the word for September can be readily deduced as '''ji<u>yu</u>b''' (''month <u>nine</u>'', '''yu''' being the number for ''9'').
== Taxonomy ==
[[File:Biological classification L Pengo vflip.svg|thumb|]]
: The formulaic language of chemistry is a pretty good likeness of Mirad. There is a world-recognized symbolic, taxonomic relationship between H<sub>2</sub>O and C<sub>2</sub>O. Similarly, in Mirad, the stem vowels of the names of animals indicate their primary habitat: air, land, sea, or combinations of these. Other combinations of letters indicate whether the animal is domestic, predatory, wild, etc. From then on, syllables taken from their Linnaeus classification are used. Likewise, with human and animal body terms, the stem vowel indicates location on the body, such as head, trunk, or limbs. Then another vowel delineates in a directional way where on the head: upper, middle, lower, and so forth. Just by looking at the word for a body part for the first time, by knowing the system, you can tell at least approximately that it is, say, a higher part of the leg. Color words are based on their position on nature's color spectrum. Governmental and courtly powerholders and other hierarchical elements are ranked by an ordinal vowel, eg. '''adeb''' (''emperor''), '''edeb''' (''monarch''), '''ideb''' (''prince''), '''udeb''' (''duke''), etc. The names of the planets are enumerated by their relative distance from the sun, so: '''<u>a</u>mer''' (planet <u>1</u> = Mercury), '''<u>e</u>mer''' (planet <u>2</u> = Mars), '''<u>i</u>mer''' (planet <u>3</u> = Earth), etc. Chemical element names are formed from their international abbreviation.
== Mnemonics ==
Words in the language can be mnemonically associated to body terms by changing the initial domain consonant accordingly, so, while '''teb''' means ''head'', '''xeb''' in the '''x''' or ''work/action domain'' is ''boss'', '''deb''' in the social/political domain is ''leader'', etc.

Mirad uses many different techniques to short-cut the difficulty of learning new words or recognizing terms. The vowels, consonants, mnemonics, scalarization, taxonomy and many other methods are used to make the vocabulary as rational and intuitive as possible. Unlike in most natural languages, words like ''snow'' and ''sleet'' are going to have sounds in common in Mirad. I have never found a language other than Mirad where the words for ''ice'', ''water'', and ''steam'' are derived from one another even though we know they are actually all H<sub>2</sub>O in different physical states.

== Vocabulary Built on Native Roots ==
<noinclude>{{status|100%}}</noinclude>
: In English, we have many words like ''ichthyology'', which baffle younger speakers of the language, because they are borrowed from a foreign language, in this case, classical Greek. This word, which could just as easily and more rationally be the Anglicized ''fishlore'', means the science of fish. If a word in English relates to fish, why is ''fish'' not a part of the word? Even for modern day Greeks to understand the word '''ιχθυολογία (ichthyologia)''', they have to know the ancient root '''ιχθύς (ichthys)''' for ''fish'', which has long been supplanted by the current word everyone uses, '''ψάρι (psari)'''. What I'm saying is that the vocabulary of English, as is the case in many other natural languages, is a hodgepodge of borrowings, irregular spellings, and words cobbled from obscure roots that have little recognizability for the average speaker.
: While English is a melting pot of words, there are some languages that do less borrowing and less non-discriminate formation of words that do not associate with one another through some root or pattern. Icelandic, for example, does not borrow very much from other languages and its words are formed using roots familiar to speakers of that language. The Icelandic word for ''library'' is '''bokasafn''', which literally, is ''book collection ( = saving)''. Any child in that language knows what the word means immediately, because it is composed of root words that are obvious. The simple English word ''library'' has nothing to do with the English word ''book'', just as ''cerebral'' has nothing to do with the word ''brain''.
: Arabic, by contrast, is a language that has a system of word-building based on a rational association of consonants and vowel patterns, such that most words relating to books and writing contain the three consonants '''k-t-b'''. Over the centuries, the system has been polluted with irregularities, but at least the consciousness of associations of words based on a root pattern is there and is still used today to coin new words.
: In Turkish, the bulk of words having to do with ''knowledge'' contain the native root '''bil-''' (''know''). Because of this, most of these words will be grouped on the same pages in a dictionary. For example: '''bildik''' ''known'', '''bildirim''' ''announcement'', '''bilecen''' ''know-it-all'', '''bilgi''' ''knowledge'', '''bilgili''' ''knowledgeable'', '''bilgin''' ''scholar'', etc. A word such as '''unknowability''' inevitably contains the root '''bil''' and can be learned fairly easily by a young student of the language.
: Mirad has a vocabulary-building system with approximately 500 morphemes (word atoms or vocabulary building blocks) that are used to form derived words in the same sense family in accordance with a set of word-building rules. Words that are related semantically will share the same bulk of letters. (This type of language is called [[wikt:oligosynthetic|oligosynthetic]]. For example, '''iva''' (''happy''), '''ivla''' (''glad''), and '''ivra''' (''delighted'') share the root morpheme '''iv-''' and differ only in one letter. The opposite of happy is derived by switching the vowel in the root morpheme from '''i''' to the negative counterpart '''u''', such that '''uva''' means ''sad''. Similarly, '''uvla''' (''woeful'') and '''uvra''' (''tragic'') are opposite counterparts to the extended '''iv-''' words.
: In Mirad, every letter of a word has some semantic or grammatical function. All words are part of a system. If you know the word for ''to lengthen'', then you automatically know the word for ''to shorten''. The rules for deriving new words from existing words are consistent across the language. In Mirad, there is no such thing as irregular conjugation of verbs as in English ''write, wrote, written''. Nouns are pluralized in one way only across the board, unlike the multiple, unpredictable ways German and Arabic words are pluralized. Prepositions have one meaning, as contrasted with the multiple, inscrutable meanings of Russian or Latin prepositions.
: Words in Mirad are pronounced as they are written, with no exceptions. Only Roman letters are used in the alphabet, and there are no pesky diacritics (accents). Word stress is regular.
: What if we took this root association to the maximum degree and ensured that all words in a language were constructed on logical, associational, and regular principles with roots that are obvious to the learner? That would be the way Mirad does it.

Bechervaise in the chair of the monthly meeting of the Telegraph Electrical Society Victoria
<blockquote>'''The Telegraph Electrical Society''' held its usual monthly meeting last night, at the Melbourne Athenæum, Mr. '''W. P. Bechervaise''' presiding. The hon. secretary called attention to the practical progress made by Edison's loud-speaking telephone, which is now extensively used in London, and appears to be giving great satisfaction. This telephone (Edison's "electro-chemical") was described at the society's meeting in June last by Mr. Daniel, and an account of it was given in the last journal (No. 15) issued by the society. Diagrams of the instruments, with further description, will appear in journal No. 16, now in course of preparation. Mr. Geo. Smibert resumed the subject of "Wheatstone's Bridge," which was commenced at the last meeting, and gave some interesting explanations of the theory of this method of measuring electrical resistance. Two new members, Messrs. Burrill Johnson and C. O. Smith, were elected. There was a very good attendance of members.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5969877 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,470 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=8 January 1880 |accessdate=17 November 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise distributes a telegram promoting a memorial to Sir Rowland Hill
<blockquote>'''MEMORIAL TO SIR ROWLAND HILL.''' The following telegram has been received from London, by Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', the manager of the Telegraph office in Melbourne, with a request that it be published in the journals:— London, Jan. 10. The Chairman sends from the Lord Mayor of London to the Mayor of every municipality which can be reached by our system the following telegram, a response to which will be telegraphed free. The message commences:— Today is the 40th anniversary of the introduction of the Postal system by Sir Rowland Hill. A Mansion House committee is now formed to commemorate the event by an International Memorial. Looking at the immense commercial, intellectual, and social advantages derived by the world at large through this reform, might I claim your hearty sympathy and support in this movement by placing it before your fellow-countrymen.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article62029476 |title=MEMORIAL TO SIR ROWLAND HILL. |newspaper=[[Gippsland Times]] |issue=2303 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=12 January 1880 |accessdate=17 November 2020 |page=3 (Morning.) |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Further controversy around Bechervaise
<blockquote>Mr. Patterson, who has been hinting at something dreadful about his predecessor in the Post-office, launched his bolt yesterday. He read a list of names of officers who, he said, Mr. Ramsay had promoted over seniors in the service; and he said corruption of that kind was worse than Black Wednesday. Mr. Ramsay denounced the document as a fabrication, declared that he did not know one of the officers by name, said he would ask for a select committee, and if it could be proved he had promoted one man apart from seniority and the recommendation of the permanent heads, he would resign his seat, and not enter the House again, and he invited Mr. Patterson to do the same. Allusions were made to the appointments by Mr. Patterson over their seniors of Mr. Jackson and Mr. '''Bechervaise''', and Mr. Patterson's reply that he had taken the best men for the posts was met with laughter and ironical applause, as it seemed to the Opposition members that he admitted the practice for which he was blaming Mr. Ramsay.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5971655 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,482 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 January 1880 |accessdate=11 December 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Post and Telegraph Department Victoria under scrutiny in Parliament for practice in promotions, including Bechervaise
<blockquote>'''PARLIAMENT. LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.''' WEDNESDAY, JAN. 21. The SPEAKER took the chair at half past 4 o'clock. . . . Mr. PATTERSON.— And that was exactly the kind of account the Chief Secretary would furnish. Was there any other charge they wished to make against the Government? Mr. MCINTYRE.— Woods' brake. Mr. PATTERSON.— Perhaps he could knock that stump down too. What did that charge amount to? Simply this, that the Minister of Railways had given the result of his inventive genius to the country for nothing. (Great laughter.) Mr. KERFERD.— He sold it to a joint-stock company. Mr. WOODS.— What is that to you. (Renewed laughter and Ministerial cheers.) Mr. PATTERSON.— He had made a present of the brake to the country, and all he was really charged with was for having fixed it on to the trains. Mr. GAUNSON.— As Mr. Milligan promised to do with him. Mr. PATTERSON:— The present was a most valuable one, so valuable that it had enabled a place in his (Mr. Patterson's) district, viz., Chewton, to have a railway station. Formerly the engineer-in-chief declared that it was impossible to stop trains on the incline there with safety, but the new brake made that "impossibility" quite easy. As he had said when the dissolution was first announced, the Government were able to meet any charge which might be levelled at them. The hon. member for East Bourke (Mr. Ramsay) had all along been particularly rough on the Government. He had talked for instance about the dismissal of civil servants, or what some people chose to call Black Wednesday, but he (Mr. Patterson) would tell him of another way of injuring the public service. The promoting of civil servants out of their turns and over the heads of their seniors was infinitely worse, and the hon. member had himself been guilty of that conduct. When Postmaster-General the appointments he made included the promotion of one officer over 60 seniors, and 12 over 30 seniors without reference to their qualifications. Mr. RAMSAY.— Slander. There is not a single word of truth in it. Mr. PATTERSON proceeded to refer to a paper (Cheers from the Government side.) Mr. RAMSAY.— Tell us what you are going to read from. An HON. MEMBER.— A statement from a spy in his department. Mr. PATTERSON said he had asked the officers of the department to furnish him with a correct return of the promotions the hon. member for East Bourke made during his term of office and the return he had received was interesting. The hon. member grew eloquent on the previous night in denouncing the Government for having raised the higher salaries. Yet first in the return he (Mr. Patterson) had obtained was the name of Mr. Turner whose salary he had raised from £900 to £1,000. Then came that of Mr. S. W. McGowan, who received an increase of from £700 to £800. Mr. H. P. Bance was raised from £620 to £700. Mr. RAMSAY.— That was one of those you killed, I believe. Mr. PATTERSON.— Then he promoted Mr. L. S. Daniel over 20 seniors, Mr. D. Mickle over 26 seniors, Mr. C. Millar over 26 seniors, Mr. J. W. Wallace over 31, and Mr. A. Cumming over 32. What could become of the public service under such an administration? Could they compare Black Wednesday with a proceeding of such character? ("No.") Mr. RAMSAY.— Would the hon. gentleman allow him to speak? Mr. PATTERSON.— He would do nothing. He had the hon. member in his grasp, and would hold him like a vyce. (Cheers and counter cheers.) He would prove that the hon. member with all his protestations of honesty, honour and respectability was not fit to be a Minister of the Crown. Mr. RAMSAY.— Is the return signed? Mr. PATTERSON.— It was furnished to me by the head of the department, and I will guarantee that every line of it will be verified. Mr. KERFERD.— It is not signed. Mr. PATTERSON said the mere fact of an official document not being signed did not prove the falsehood. Mr. RAMSAY.— It is a downright falsehood. Mr. PATTERSON could say that if a statement was furnished to him which was not in accordance with facts he knew how to deal with a civil servant. (Ironical cries of "Hear, hear," and laughter.) The document was based on authority that he would receive ten times before he would receive that of the hon. member for East Bourke. Mr. SERVICE.— Did you appoint Mr. '''Bechervaise''' over Mr. James? (Hear, hear.) Mr. PATTERSON said that was on account of greater fitness and because he was altogether a better man. (Cries of "Oh," and loud laughter from the Opposition.) He would proceed with the list. H. W. Jenvey was appointed over 35 seniors, W. Blandford over the heads of 38, and W. E. Miller over 64 seniors. All those promotions were made at the recommendation of Mr. Robert Ram-say, and was there ever any case made out against this Government like those? Mr. SERVICE.— You promoted Jackson over McGowan. Mr. PATTERSON replied that no one could say he did not put the right man in the right place. Mr. McGowan was in the telegraph branch, and Mr. Jackson was the clerk in the Post-office immediately succeeding Mr. Turner when the latter retired. Mr. KERFERD.— You promoted Jackson's brother in law over 11 men who were his seniors. Mr. PATTERSON said the hon. member for the Ovens was unhappy, and was speaking without the book. Mr. RAMSAY stated that he had been in the House 10 years, and that was the first time any charge of the kind just made by the Postmaster-General had been made against him. He knew the House had only a few days to sit, but before the session closed he would move for a select committee to inquire into the matter, and he did not care if all the members of it were appointed from the Government side of the House. He would also say solemnly that if there was a single atom of truth in one of the statements of the Postmaster-General — that he ever made an appointment in either of the departments he was connected with except on the reports of the official heads of the departments — he would resign his seat, and would never re-enter Parliament as long as he lived. (Hear, hear.) Was the Postmaster-General prepared to take the same course? Mr. PATTERSON replied that the hon. member was not going to shelter himself behind the fact that Mr. Turner might also have recommended the appointments. He would accept the challenge on the ground that the hon. member approved of the recommendations to place the men over the heads of their seniors. Several HON. MEMBERS.— That is not the point. Mr. RAMSAY solemnly asserted that the statement which had been made was utterly without a particle of foundation. He did not know one of those individuals by sight, not a single member of the House ever spoke to him about them, and he never made an appointment except on the recommendation of the permanent heads of the two departments he had been connected with. Mr. CARTER noticed that whenever a political crime was brought against the Ministry which weighed heavily upon them they always put the Minister of Public Works up in their defence, and he gave that hon. member credit for being particularly clever and adroit in concealing their criminality.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5971625 |title=PARLIAMENT. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,482 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 January 1880 |accessdate=17 November 2020 |page=7 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
As previous, further parliamentary debate
<blockquote>'''PARLIAMENT. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.''' Tuesday, Jan. 27. . . . Mr. PATTERSON said the hon. member for East Bourke had taken occasion to refer to an incident that took place in the House some time ago, but he would remind that hon. member that exhibitions of feeling did not prove a want of personal courage. The hon. member had endeavoured to make out two or three things with respect to these appointments. He said, first, that he appointed a board to inquire into the distribution of bonuses to certain skilful operators, but that had nothing to do with the matter with which he was charged. Then he fell back upon a report of Mr. Turner, in which it was said that the other colonies were bid-ding high for skilful operators. Did he act upon that? Mr. RAMSAY.— Yes, as the papers show.
Mr. PATTERSON.— No, the hon. member did not. The report was dated September, 1874, and the appointments and classification took place November, 1876, more than two years afterwards. Mr. Turner on the 3rd March, 1875, called attention to the fact that the department must be pre-pared to deal liberally with those operators. The same course had been adopted with regard to bonuses every year. He supposed the hon. member would not deny that he made those appointments. Mr. RAMSAY.— I have shown that I did not make a number of them. Mr. PATTERSON said he had a document signed by the deputy postmaster-general and the accountant stating that the promotion of McGowan and Bance was given by the hon. member, and the schedules were signed "R. R." Hon. MEMBERS.— Shame, shame. Mr. PATTERSON said Mr. Cuthbert fell into a similar trap, as a few days before the general election the hon. member (Mr. Ram-say) made several appointments out of order and seniority, and Mr. Cuthbert signed them. Mr. GILLIES.— Is this a new charge? Mr. PATTERSON.— Yes. Now, the hon. member chose to say that he did not appoint Miller at all. Mr. RAMSAY.— I said the return produced by the hon. member showed that I did not make the appointment. If that is wrong I shall investigate further. Mr. PATTERSON.— Mr Turner, in his report, says, "Mr. Miller is a very zealous and efficient officer" — Mr. RAMSAY rose to a point of order. He hoped the hon. member meant to deal fairly with him. He had asked the deputy post-master general for all the documents in connexion with the affair, but the paper which the Postmaster-General had commenced to quote from was not shown to him, and he had not seen it. He objected to a letter not laid upon the table of the House being read. Mr. PATTERSON said he would lay it on the table when he had read it. Mr. COOPER, on the point of order, asked whether it was worth while to discuss further charges, which would only embitter the committee, and waste time. Mr. PATTERSON said Mr. Turner stated that Mr. Miller was a zealous and efficient officer, but was not a competent operator, and would not be affected by the bonus proposals at all. Mr Langton, on the 15th May, 1874, said that he could not promote Mr. Miller to the 4th class. After that Mr. Ramsay wrote that Mr. Miller was to be appointed to the 4th class, unless any vacancy should previously occur, in which case he was to have it. Mr. RAMSAY.— The appointment was made on the recommendation of the permanent head of the department. Mr. PATTERSON.— That is no excuse. Mr. MCINTYRE.— It was in the case of Mr. Woollard. Mr. PATTERSON said the hon. member as a Minister was not justified in making the appointment because it was recommended by the permanent head of the department. Mr. SERVICE.— How was it wrong? Mr. PATTERSON.— It was wrong to all those men who were passed over. No previous Minister had made promotions in the way the hon. member had. Mr. RAMSAY.— That is not true. Mr. PATTERSON.— And no member had been more forward in denouncing the Government. First the hon. member had said that the charge against him had been carefully prepared, but he could state that those papers had been ready two months be-fore. Then in the next breath that he was charged with not being prepared because the deputy postmaster-general had sent down the papers not properly signed. The policy of the Opposition had been to make attacks upon the Government, and the Government were justified in self defence in calling attention to the public acts of previous Administrations. The acts he complained of could not possibly be justified. If the public officers were consulted the whole body would condemn them because they created disorganisation, and caused civil servants to lose faith and hope in the public service. (Laughter, and ironical cheers.) The hon. member might presently tell him that he had done the same thing himself in the cases of Mr. Jackson and Mr. McGowan. They must permit him to say that Mr Jack-son had been eight months longer in the public service than Mr. McGowan had, that he was in the same classification, and that he (Mr. Patterson) chose Mr. Jackson because he was the fittest for the position. As to the remark that he placed Mr. '''Bechervaise''' over Mr. James that was not correct, because Mr. James had £600 a year, while Mr. '''Bechervaise''' had only £500. Mr. GAUNSON.— Mr. '''Bechervaise''' is in the senior position. Mr. PATTERSON said Mr. James was at Ballarat whilst Mr. '''Bechervaise''' was in Melbourne, and he thought it was a good plan to move officers about from one station to another. The hon. member for East Bourke, he considered, had made out only a very poor defence. Mr. GILLIES would have preferred if the Postmaster-General instead of delivering the remarks he had just made had said he would withdraw the charges. If there was any-thing at all in the charges made the other evening against the hon. member for East Bourke, it was that he had been guilty of grossly improper conduct in regard to appointments. The hon. member for East Bourke had now proved that in three of the cases, those of Messrs. Turner, McGowan, and Bance, he was not responsible for the appointments in any way, that they were settled by his predecessor, that the promotions were put on the estimates, and that the Assembly approved of them. If there was anything wrong in the appointments they should have been challenged when they were before Parliament. It was too late now to charge a Minister with improper conduct about them, as all the Minister did was to approve of them after they had been made by Parliament and signed by the Governor in Council. As to the other cases the hon. member for East Bourke had proved they were referred to a board. Mr. PATTERSON.— Not as to classification. Mr. GILLIES.— They were referred to a board as to bonus. Mr. PATTERSON.— That is done every year. . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5972365 |title=PARLIAMENT. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,487 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=28 January 1880 |accessdate=17 November 2020 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise chairs the monthly meeting of the Telegraph Electrical Society Victoria
<blockquote>The usual monthly meeting of the Telegraph Electrical Society was held on the 4th inst. at the Melbourne Athenaeum, Mr. '''W. P. Bechervaise''' presiding. A paper on "Thermo-electricity" was read by Mr. L. S. Daniel, who illustrated his remarks by means of instruments kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Ellery. The system of obtaining currents of electricity by applying heat to the junction of two different metals is one which of late years has made great advances, and it is already much used for electroplating and other purposes, including telegraphy, while its extreme sensitiveness may be best under-stood when it is stated that thermo-electric piles have been constructed which are readily affected by the heat of the fixed stars. Two new members — Mr. M. L. Bagge, of Melbourne, and Mr. E. F. Innes, of King George's Sound — were elected.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5973909 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,497 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=9 February 1880 |accessdate=18 November 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise organises additional resources at Maldon telegraph office to accommodate Service's election speeches
<blockquote>The Maldon speeches of Mr. Service are severe tests of the Telegraph department. On Thursday evening over 26,000 words were despatched from the Maldon office, over 12,000, or about half that number coming to this paper. A special staff was sent up under the charge of Mr. J. C. Macaw, and both at Maldon and Melbourne the work was done with the utmost efficiency, the arrangements made by the general manager, Mr. '''W. P. Bechervaise''', working excellently. By half past 1 o'clock the whole of the country and town press had been served, and this is the quickest time yet accomplished.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5974610 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,502 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 February 1880 |accessdate=18 November 2020 |page=7 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise is a judge at the Intercolonial Juvenile Industrial Exhibition, including the Philosophical Instruments section with a number of future wireless experimenters as exhibitors
<blockquote>'''INTERCOLONIAL JUVENILE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION, 1879-80.''' The first Intercolonial Juvenile Industrial Exhibition has now reached its most interesting stage. The judges have completed their onerous duties. All the prizes have been awarded, and to-day we are able to publish the list in full. This list will be eagerly and anxiously scanned by the thousands of young competitors. To those who find their names there it will give joy and honour, and we con-gratulate such of our young friends on their success. Those who have been less fortunate will, no doubt, feel some measure of disappointment, but we trust that it will only be a disappointment that will stimulate them to such renewed exertion and application as will ensure higher excellence in the future. These exhibitions are of no little importance. Apart from the benefit they must be to the rising generation, they are calculated to be of great service to the state. To say the least, they will do infinitely more towards fostering native industry than all the artificial protective tariffs that could be invented. The Executive Committee of the present Exhibition deserve no little credit for the energy they have thrown into the undertaking. Success has attended their efforts so far, and the only problem which remains to be solved is the financial result. The patronage they have received, however, has been most gratifying. Since the opening on the 23rd of December there have been about 123,000 visitors, and, if as is expected, 117,000 more patronise it between this date and the 3rd of April, closing day, a satisfactory balance sheet will be produced. As compared with the committees of the Ballarat, Sandhurst, and Geelong exhibitions, the executive of the intercolonial one have been handicapped by a charge of £1,000 for the use of the Eastern Market, whereas the former received generous assistance from their local corporations. The liabilities they incurred at the outset have not, however, hampered their management, but have, on the contrary, stimulated their efforts to make the exhibition popular. Four nights every week they have had juvenile concerts or band performances, and on the other two nights — Thursday and Saturday — high class musical entertainments have been given under the direction of Mr Summers. The attendance on Thursday and Saturday nights was always enormous, and enterprise was thus rewarded. Then large excursions were attracted from up country. The Presbyterian Sunday-schools of Ballarat sent down a company of 1,000, about 1,500 came from Talbot and district, 1,300 from Sale, Rosedale, and neighbourhood, 1,500 from Castlemaine, 1,200 from Dunolly, 1,000 from Newstead, and other excursions are looked for during the present month from Ballarat, Sandhurst, Echuca, and the North-Eastern district. Moreover, it is expected that the exhibition will prove one of the greatest attractions during the Easter holidays. With regard to the manner in which the youths of this and the neighbouring colonies responded to the invitation of the committee to send in exhibits, it may be mentioned that the total number of exhibits displayed is 20,125. The entries for competition numberered in all 5,839. They were arranged and classified as shown in the following table:— '''CLASSIFICATION AND NUMBERS OF EXHIBITS.''' Class. Entries. 1.

Bechervaise again chairs the monthly meeting of the Telegraph Electrical Society Victoria
<blockquote>'''The Telegraph Electrical Society''' held its usual monthly meeting on Wednesday at the Melbourne Athenaeum, Mr. '''Bechervaise''' presiding. The systems of "duplex," "diplex," and their combination into the "quadruplex" system of telegraphy were explained by Mr. George Smibert, and it was resolved that diagrams of the different circuits included in these systems should be prepared and distributed, in order that the members might more easily understand them. Mr. W. Macourt exhibited an ingenious form of soldering iron, his own invention, which he had found to be very much better adapted for soldering joints on a telegraph line than the method in ordinary use. He also showed a pair of "spur climbers," used by telegraph line repairers, the invention of Mr. H. Deering, of the Telegraph department, which had been proved to be very much superior to the old fashioned ones used hitherto. Sketches of these two improvements are to appear in the society's next journal. There was a good attendance, three new members being pro-posed for election.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5977093 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,519 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=5 March 1880 |accessdate=18 November 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise participates in telephony experiments between Melbourne and Ballarat, extending to Castlemaine
<blockquote>Some very successful experiments with the Edison-Bell Telephone were made yesterday afternoon on the telegraph line from Melbourne to Ballarat. Trials on such long lines have to be held on Sunday, owing to the wires being so fully occupied through the week. Mr. Jackson, deputy Postmaster-General; Mr. McGowan, superintendent of telegraphs; and Mr. '''Bechervaise''', manager of the Melbourne Telegraph Office, conducted the experiments at this end of the line. The Postmaster-General was to have been at Ballarat, but was suddenly called out of town. Conversation between Melbourne and Ballarat was carried on very easily, a number of people listening at the same time in each place. Then a line to Castlemaine was connected from this end of the Ballarat line, the circuit being from Ballarat to Melbourne and thence to Castlemaine, a total distance of 165 miles. The additional length of line seemed to make no difference in the result; whatever was said at either of the three places was distinctly heard at both the others. Castlemaine favoured Melbourne and Ballarat with several tunes on the cornet, and a lady at Melbourne sang to Ballarat and Castlemaine.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5972319 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,586 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=24 May 1880 |accessdate=20 November 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise attends the Governor's Levee for the Queen's Birthday
<blockquote>'''THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.''' The 61st anniversary of Her Majesty's Birthday was yesterday celebrated by the holding of a number of public amusements. The weather, though dull, was not unfavourable for outdoor sports. The chief event of the day was to have been the Volunteer review in Albert-park, but owing to the large attendance of spectators and the inadequacy of the arrangements for keeping them in orderly array, the military display had to be greatly curtailed. At the levée held by His Excellency at Government-house the presentations were unusually numerous. The football match on the East Melbourne cricket ground was witnessed by about 8,000 spectators, and there were also many onlookers at the bicycle tournament on the Warehousemen's ground, the 25-mile contest being a novel attraction. The Hunt Club races had their share of patronage. Melbourne appeared to be filled with country visitors during the day and evening. The amusements at the theatres and the popular concert at the Town-hall were well attended. A detailed account of the day's doings will be found below:— '''THE GOVERNORS LEVEE.''' His Excellency the Governor, pursuant to custom, held a levée at Government house in honour of the day. The large and representative attendance furnished ample evidence of the loyalty of Her Majesty's subjects in this colony. Those gentlemen who presented cards for the private entrée were received in the drawingroom, but the remainder of the ceremony took place in the ballroom. Precisely at 11 o'clock His Excellency entered the ballroom, followed by the gentlemen who had been admitted to the private entrée, amongst whom we noticed the Premier, who wore the Windsor uniform; other Ministers of the Crown, the President of the Legislative Council, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, judges, heads of religious denominations, foreign consuls, members of the Executive Council, and military officers. The general presentations then took place, and were quickly over. Subjoined are the names of the gentlemen who presented cards of entrée:— . . . L. W. Bell, R. S. Bradley, R. B.

Detailed analysis of the circumstances of Bechervaise's impending return to Ballarat
<blockquote>Ordinarily an exchange of post and telegraph masters in this town would call for no comment, because, so long as an efficient officer is placed here by the Government, it matters little whether Mr Jones, Mr Smith, Mr Brown, or Mr Robinson presides over the local branch of the Post and Telegraph Department. All that the public desires in such a case is that every attention shall be paid to local requirements; that there shall be no disturbances in the combined offices to create scandal abroad, or confusion within, and that a vigilant eye shall be kept around to prevent any letters being robbed of their contents, should a black sheep find his way into the local branch of the service. All this having been provided for, we say, the people of Ballarat care very little, under ordinary circumstances, who has charge of their central post and telegraph office, or what arrangements the Government choose to make to secure efficiency in that quarter. But an event of this kind has lately occurred here which cannot be regarded with the same indifference, because it not only involves a wrong to the telegraph branch of the department as a whole, but it also treats a gentleman who has long been known in this town with extreme discourtesy; and the public is bound to feel interested in a step which carries with it conditions of this nature. Readers of yesterday's Courier will have noticed that Mr James has been removed from Ballarat to Melbourne, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' from Melbourne to Ballarat, thus restoring the state of affairs which prevailed at the Post and Telegraph offices in Melbourne and Ballarat respectively, before, and for some time after, Mr Patterson took office. The object of these transfers is plain enough. It is to undo what the Berry Government did; the present Government having laid themselves out to do this sort of thing ever since they got on the Treasury benches; and we may remark, in passing, that some of the silliest and most costly freaks have been the consequences of their reckless and muddle-headed attacks upon their predecessors' administration. Mr Patterson, who proved himself to be the best Postmaster-General this colony ever had, was not satisfied with the way in which the telegraph branch of the service was conducted. It seemed to him that a more active man than Mr James was required at headquarters; and he made enquiries to see whether such a man was in the service. Mr Patterson soon found there was such a man in Mr '''Bechervaise''', the then manager of the Post and Telegraph Office, Ballarat. Enquiries satisfied Mr Patterson that Mr '''Bechervaise''' was an excellent administrator, a strict disciplinarian, a most vigilant supervisor of small as well as large details, and just the very man he wanted in the Telegraph Office, Melbourne; and, a long interview which he had with him afterwards, confirmed the soundness of this information. We would not say a word against Mr James's probity, or his desire to discharge his duties efficiently. But he has not the quickness of movement, and the sharpness of mind of Mr '''Bechervaise'''; and hence Mr Patterson determined that Mr '''Bechervaise''' should be taken down to Melbourne, and Mr James sent to Ballarat; the latter losing nothing, in the way of salary, by the transfer. No sooner was the change made than a large amount of influence was set to work to restore Mr James to Melbourne; but Mr Patterson was inexorable. He saw that Mr '''Bechervaise''' suited the Melbourne position better than Mr James; and, in the public interest, he determined that Mr '''Bechervaise''' should remain in Melbourne. So matters continued up to the retirement of the Berry Ministry; and there can be no doubt that the telegraph service, and the public also, was considerably benefited by Mr '''Bechervaise's''' presence in the metropolitan office. Now what has followed, is what we described yesterday, and what is repeated above. To political influence the Service Government have given way, the more especially as the act harmonised with their desire to upset all that the Berry Government had done; and, accordingly, Mr James goes back to Melbourne, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' comes up to Ballarat to resume his old position. The rationale of all this is easily worked out. Firstly, a very useful officer is displaced, for a worthy man, no doubt, but not Mr '''Bechervaise's''' equal, as the administrator of the working details of a large and important department. Therefore, the service is bound to suffer by what has been effected. Secondly, a man who has thrown all his energies into the department, and carried out a number of useful reforms, is thrust back in the service, although everything shows that no one could have deserved the promotion better than Mr '''Bechervaise''' proved himself to deserve it during the time he was in the metropolitan office. And thirdly, a precedent is set which will deter Ministers for all time doing anything to reform or improve the departments, because they will see, in the pranks which the Service Government have played, that any changes which they make to benefit the service and meet the requirements of the public, if it does not dovetail in with the wishes and aims of the officers transferred, are almost sure to be undone by their successors, with any amount of abuse and obloquy added. The Service Government are to be thanked for attaining these miserable ends; and none but bunglers of the most pronounced order would be guilty of such contemptible and senseless conduct. Locally, we rejoice at Mr '''Bechervaise's''' return to Ballarat, where his appearance will be hailed with no small pleasure. But looking at the requirements of the Telegraph Office as a whole, a great mistake has been committed in this case; and there is not an officer in the whole service who will not readily endorse this conclusion. However, everything is in a state of upheaval just now; and the above is one of the penalties which the Victorian community has to pay for landing a Conservative Government in office.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article250050328 |title=No Title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=4047 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=15 June 1880 |accessdate=20 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''THE CHARGE AGAINST A TELEGRAPH OFFICER.''' — Respecting the charge which has been made against a telegraph officer the Star says:— A rumor was freely circulated throughout the city on Monday that a young man engaged in the telegraph service in connection with the Ballarat East office had been detected intercepting information passing on the lines; and further, it was alleged that he had entered into an arrangement with a well-known broker on the Corner to supply him with intercepted and other messages, for which he was to be duly recompensed. It is stated that the accused official admits having received money from the broker, but says it was given to him merely as a loan.

It had been remarked on previous occasions that matters of public interest passing along the lines had been made known to friends and others within a remarkably short time from when the message had been received. The Evening Post says in reference to this matter:— Inquiry by us this morning at the head office, did not result in any substantiation of the rumor, so far as the officer in charge, Mr. '''W. P. Bechervaise''', was concerned, and we sincerely trust, for the sake of the department generally, that some misunderstanding in the matter exists. We understand however from a private source that a certain J.P. of Ballarat recently visited Melbourne, and had an interview with the young man George Yates, at present an inmate of Pentridge, from whom the facts, upon which the above-mentioned rumour is based, were gathered. Until instructions are received from the metropolitan authorities, however, the matter will not assume any definite shape, so far as official inquiry is concerned, though it is understood that the case of Yates is to be brought under the notice of Parliament, with a view, probably to a remission of sentence.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article88640092 |title=Advertising |newspaper=[[Bendigo Advertiser]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=7,922 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=24 November 1880 |accessdate=21 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise again attends to his duties as starter with the Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT YACHT CLUB REGATTA.''' Wednesday, 24th November. Commodore, O. E. Edwards; captain, E. Morey; treasurer, T. Mann; judge, H. R. Caselli, starter, '''W. P. Bechervaise'''; timekeeper, J. T. Sleep; secretary, Wm. Downie. The fourth annual regatta of the Ballarat Yacht Club was held on Wednesday at Lake Wendouree. The day opened gloomy and wintry-looking, and the dull aspect of the weather no doubt deterred many from visiting the scene of the contests who otherwise would have been present. A fine fresh wind was blowing, and as far as sailing was concerned more excellent weather could not be desired. One could not help at times contrasting the past, when Wendouree was a reedy swamp, a covert for the wild fowl and duck, and when the wind whistling through the rushes, and the plash, plash! as the teal rose one after an-other into the air from the flags and water-weeds . . . The boats took up their mooring off View Point at about 11 o’clock, and were sent off by Mr '''Bechervaise''' shortly afterwards. They went away well together, and with spinnakers flying rounded the Garden Island, and closed up to the south buoy. Rounding the buoy the Maid of Kent held the leading position, with the following boats in the order named:— Kathleen, I.X.L., Ballarat East, Argyle, and Albion. The first three boats kept well together, the remainder trailing out astern.

Vic Government to take a monopoly on telephony in the State
<blockquote>'''MELBOURNE.''' 27th November. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) . . . The Government intend pushing on with business in the Committees of Supply and Ways and Means next week, so as to deal with the financial questions arising out of these first, and permit the Council to have reason-able opportunity to discuss them. As it is the time is very short in which to allow of opportunity for members in both Chambers to deal with such measures as those for reducing the salaries of his Excellency the Governor, and his Ministers when it is remembered, that the Land Tax Bill and the Land Act Amendment must certainly provoke discussion. The Reform of the Constitution and Plural Voting Bills will have to stand aside until next session, for if the House is to be up by Christmas, and the Ministry mean to strain every nerve to complete business by that time, it would be impossible to debate them in the Lower House alone. The only new measure likely to be introduced besides those already known is the Telephone Bill, extending to that invention much the same privileges as those enjoyed by its elder brother, the telegraph. But for the information of settlers it may be mentioned that the new Land Bill (Mr Richardson's) while extending the term of tenure of the squatter for one year deals, satisfactorily with the desire of the selectors to come under the shilling an acre clause, and removes the existing impediments thereto; and, in addition, applies fresh legislation to the run-holders in the mallee. So useful and so necessary is this measure that it is to be regretted that it will come forward at so advanced a period of the session as will prevent its being thoroughly threshed out.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200652336 |title=MELBOURNE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXV, |issue=285 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=29 November 1880 |accessdate=21 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Telegraph linesman accidentally killed at Ballarat

He was forthwith conveyed to the Hospital in an insensible state, blood issuing from his mouth and ears. All the medical assistance that could be rendered was forthcoming, and the wardsmen sat up all night with the sufferer, but human aid was unavailing, and he breathed his last on Sunday evening.

Postmaster-General Langridge announces that no possibility of further employment for young lady telegraphists for some time, certain to impact upon Bechervaise's telegraphy classes
<blockquote>The Postmaster-General wishes it to be known that there is no possibility of any young ladies being engaged in the Postal or Telegraph department for some time to come. Every day he receives numerous applications from those who have qualified themselves as telegraphists and the books of the department contain the names of several hundred applicants, but all the offices are filled. The "bill room," where a record of the contents of each letter bag was formerly kept, has been abolished and a record of only registered and insufficiently stamped letters is now kept. This places four young ladies at liberty and some difficulty is experienced in finding employment for them in the other offices. In some cases three and four sisters of families in comfortable, if not affluent, circumstances are said to be employed in the department, and Mr. Langridge proposes shortly to dispense with the services of some of these, in order to afford openings for indigent but well educated and qualified young ladies. A report upon the number and position of the female employés in the postal and telegraph offices is now being prepared by Mr Jackson for the Postmaster-General. Since Mr. Langridge's acceptance of office, he has not made one fresh appointment, but the vacancies which have occurred in the postmastership of both Geelong and Sandhurst have enabled a general promotion to take place throughout the department.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5981775 |title=The Argus. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=10,793 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=20 January 1881 |accessdate=22 November 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise acts a starter for Ballarat Yacht Club at Lake Wendouree competition for Governor's visit

Brief, almost misleading report of the Whitelaw investigation
<blockquote>The board appointed to investigate the charge brought against Mr Whitelaw, post and telegraph master for Ballarat East, sat yesterday in the Treasury buildings. The board consists of Messrs Ramsay, Call, and Le Cren. Mr Watson appeared to watch the case on behalf of Mr Thomas Stoddart, sharebroker, and Detective Lomax on behalf of the department. The charge preferred against Mr Whitelaw was that in 1877 he gave information to Mr Stoddart respecting telegrams passing through the office, and received moneys in payment for the same. The witnesses examined were — Messrs '''Bechervaise''', Blandford, Yates, Stoddart, Glenny, and Whitelaw, L. Pritchard, C. Yates, and telegraph messengers Graham, Robson, and Sullivan. The latter gave evidence to the effect that he took a memo from Mr Whitelaw to Mr Stoddart in 1877, and that was the only memo he took out that year. Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and Blandford were of opinion that the latter part of the evidence was incorrect, as memos were often sent out of the office, for instance in case of accident to the line, to apprise any person who had sent a telegram that the answer would be delayed. The answer to the charge was Mr Whitelaw had owed Mr Stoddart £2 — a loan — and that he repaid this sum. This was the only money passing between them. Mr Stoddart produced the blocks of his cheque books for 1877-78, and it was there shown that this £2 was the only amount paid to Mr Whitelaw. The charge has practically broken down, and the board, after examining the blocks of the cheque books, had no desire to continue the investigation. The board sat previously in Melbourne, and examined George Yates and messenger Sullivan. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249278283 |title=No Title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXVIII, |issue=4247 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=3 February 1881 |accessdate=23 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

More comprehensive report of the Whitelaw proceedings by the Ballarat Star
<blockquote>'''THE CHARGE AGAINST MR WHITELAW.''' The local enquiry into the charge preferred against Mr W. S. Whitelaw, post and telegraph master in the Town office, was held in the post-office, Ballarat West, on Wednesday morning, before the special board appointed for that purpose, and including the following gentlemen:— The Hon. Robert Ramsay (chairman), Mr Charles Le Cren, and Mr Frederick Call. The charge against Mr Whitelaw was that he did give certain information to Mr Thomas Stoddart, mining broker, of Ballarat, concerning the contents of telegrams which passed through his (Whitelaw's) hands, and were not directed to or intended for that gentleman, and that for thus supplying news Whitelaw received money from him. The first enquiry before the board was held in the Melbourne General Post-office on Friday last, when George Yates and a young man named Sullivan were examined. Sullivan at that enquiry stated that when he was engaged in the Ballarat Post-office in 1877, as messenger, he constantly took memoranda from Whitelaw to Mr Stoddart, and that this circumstance was exceptional, he having conveyed no other memoranda to other gentlemen from him. Geo. Yates, at one time employed in Mr Stoddart's office as a clerk, asserted that memoranda had been received by that gentleman from Whitelaw whilst he (Yates) was in his employment, and that cheques had within his knowledge been paid over to Whitelaw by Stoddart, in exchange for the memoranda, which contained mining intelligence of use to the latter named. On Wednesday the following named witnesses were examined:— Messrs '''Bechervaise''', Blandford, Glenny, Alfred Yates, Charles Yates, Lewis Pritchard, J. J. Pritchard, and messengers Graham, of Creswick, and Robson. Detective Lomax, conducted the case on behalf of the department; Mr C. M. Watson watched the proceedings on behalf of Mr T. Stoddart. Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and Blandford, who were inclined to attach but little importance to the testimony of Sullivan, bore testimony to the high character for probity and integrity borne by Mr Whitelaw during his term of office in the Ballarat Post office. The messengers gave evidence to the effect that they had taken memoranda from Whitelaw to Stoddart, but admitted that there was nothing unusual in this, as they frequently took memoranda from the office to gentlemen on the Corner and in other parts of the city. Mr Glenny was examined, and described how his suspicion was aroused in the matter. He had waited upon Whitelaw immediately after hearing the rumour, and was informed by him that he had received money from Stoddart. Mr Stoddart produced the blocks of the cheque-books used by him from the beginning of 1877 to the beginning of 1878. Examination of these blocks conclusively proved that he had not been in the habit of giving cheques to Mr Whitelaw. Mr Stoddart admitted having given £2 to Mr Whitelaw in May, 1877, as a loan, which sum was afterwards repaid him by that gentleman. As accounting for the passing of memoranda from Whitelaw to Stoddart, the former admitted that he had speculated in certain mines, but denied in toto that he had furnished any information to the latter which had not been intended for him but for others. The evidence of the Yates, father and son, and other witnesses, was in the nature of hearsay, and they knew of nothing touching on the point at issue of their own knowledge. The labours of the board, as far as concern the taking of evidence, are now, we believe, at an end, and its decision will be made known in the course of a few days.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200654774 |title=THE CHARGE AGAINST MR WHITELAW. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=29 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=3 February 1881 |accessdate=23 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise again performs the duties of starter for Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''SPORTING INTELLIGENGE.''' AQUATICS. FIRST CONTEST FOR THE HEPBURN TROPHY. The first event in the competition for the beautiful and valuable service of plate presented as a trophy by Mr B. Hepburn, took place on Lake Wendouree on Saturday afternoon, 5th February. The weather was unfavourable for sight-seekers, the bright, scorching sunlight, coupled with the whirling clouds of dust that filled the streets, acting no doubt as a deterrent to intending visitors. However, so far as the sailing match was concerned the weather conditions could scarcely have been more favourable. There was a fine steady "close reefed" gale blowing from the south-east, and the sky was so bright that the spectators on the margin of the lake could see distinctly the positions of the boats throughout the race. With the exception of the presence of some visitors, including a sprinkling of the fair sex, there were no signs of unusual activity about the lake until about half-past 2 o'clock p.m., when some of the yachtsmen began to put their boats in trim. Eventually, "the sails were unfurled to the sighing wind," and the yachts were brought round into their respective positions at View Point. The following were the competitors:— The Argyle, sailed by Mr A. Clinton; the Viola, sailed by Mr R. Thurling; the Pinafore, sailed by Mr T. Bailey; the Grand Flaneur, sailed by Mr E. Morey; the Reporter, sailed by Mr G. Hathorn; the Victoria, sailed by Commodore Edwards; the Ballarat East, sailed by Mr T. Taylor; and the Faugh-a-Ballagh, sailed by Mr T. Gill. By this time Gill's Wendouree steamer, freighted with a number of the leading local nautical spirits, and also containing Mr '''Bechervaise''', starter, and Mr W. Downie, secretary, was lying alongside the pier, and the judge and timekeeper, Mr H. R. Caselli, J.P., had stationed himself at his post. Everything being in readiness Mr '''Bechervaise''' gave the signal for starting, and a fair start was effected. Just at starting, however, the Faugh-a-Ballagh had her mast carried away within two or three feet of the boards. Away the others went scudding before the gale, the display of canvas, though not so extensive as usual, being still very beautiful. The Wendouree, with her yachting freight, steamed up in the rear, and afforded a nice view of the competition. As rounding the garden island the first time, the Viola was slightly ahead, with the Victoria second, Grand Flaneur third, and the others in a cluster, but as rounding Brace’s buoy the position had somewhat changed, for though the Viola was still first, the Pinafore had taken second place, with the Reporter third, Grand Flaneur fourth, and Victoria fifth, and they proceeded on towards View Point in that order. As passing View Point the Wendouree steamer remained for a few minutes to allow such of the passengers as wished to disembark an opportunity of doing so. In the second round Pinafore took the lead, maintaining it through the remainder of the race. Towards the close the interest in the contest increased, and there was a cheer for the Pinafore as she came in leading the van, with Grand Flaneur second, Viola third, and the Argyle fourth. The time in which the three rounds were completed was as follows:— Pinafore, 1 hour 22 min.; Grand Flaneur, 1 hour 22 min. 30 sec.; Viola, 1 hour 23 min.; Argyle, 1 hour 37 min. 55 sec. The time allowance was ½ min. per foot. . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200654904 |title=SPORTING INTELLIGENGE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=32 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=7 February 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Main body of the report of the Whitelaw Board of Enquiry, by no means comprehensive
<blockquote>'''THE WHITELAW BOARD.''' (FROM OUR MELBOURNE CORRESPONDENT). Tuesday. The following is a copy of the report of the above board regarding certain charges made against Mr W. S. Whitelaw:— "We have carefully considered the question submitted to us in this matter, having held three sittings on the subject. "After examining messenger Sullivan at the General Post-office, Melbourne, we proceeded to Pentridge, and took the evidence of the prisoner Yates there. On the 2nd instant we proceeded to Ballarat and took the evidence of the following witnesses:— Lewis Pritchard, James Pritchard, Henry Glenny, Charles Yates, Thomas Stoddart, Alfred Yates, E. J. Toy, R. J. Graham, Wm. Robson, '''W. P. Bechervaise''', and Mr Blandford. We also carefully examined the whole of the block cheque-books produced by the witness Stoddart, and found that there was only one entry of a loan by Stoddart to Whitelaw — that on the 11th May, 1877, for £2, which had subsequently been repaid. "We are clearly of opinion that there are no grounds for the charge, which evidently originated from the prisoner Yates, formerly a clerk in Stoddart's employ, and who seems to have been prosecuted by Stoddart and subsequently convicted. "The fact that he did not make use of the information which he now discloses in order to prevent his prosecution by Stoddart weighs considerably with us in coming to the conclusion at which we have unanimously arrived. In the course of the enquiry it incidentally transpired that Whitelaw had two small transactions in mining shares with Mr Stoddart about six years ago, and although that does not immediately affect the present enquiry, the board suggest that the regulation prohibiting officers in the telegraph service from having any interest whatever in mining transactions should be strictly enforced. "We attach herewith the evidence taken by the board. "Robert Ramsay, Chairman. "F. Call. "Charles Le Cren.

Bechervaise elected treasurer of the Ballarat Regatta Committee
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . The Ballarat Regatta Committee met on Tuesday night at Lester's hotel to make arrangements for the forthcoming regatta at Lake Wendouree on Monday next; Mr H. R. Caselli occupied the chair. There was a good muster of members of both the City and the Ballarat Rowing Clubs present. The secretary reported having received a letter from Dr O'Connor, Bishop of Ballarat, forwarding a donation of two guineas; also from the Corio Bay Rowing Club, respecting the value of trophies in connection with the Challenge Cup; and various other correspondence. Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', Mr W. Pobjoy, and Mr J. Garbutt were unanimously elected as treasurer, starter, and judge respectively. A letter was read from the City Council, notifying that the afternoon of Monday next would be proclaimed a holiday, in accordance with the request of the committee, and arrangements were made for a deputation to wait on the banks and the shopkeepers to obtain their consent to close for the half day. It was also decided that the hon. Minister of Education be asked to grant a State school holiday for the occasion, to all schools within a radius of ten miles. In the programme were arranged two yachting events, the first of which will start at 12 o'clock. Several matters of minor importance were then disposed of, and the meeting adjourned till Thursday, when the entries will be received for the various events, which promise this year to be more numerous than usual.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200655253 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=39 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=16 February 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise again acts as starter for the Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE STODDART TROPHY.''' A considerable number of the local lovers of aquatics, including a sprinkling of the fair sex, assembled at Lake Wendouree on Saturday afternoon, 12th March, to witness the competition in the second event for the Stoddart Trophy. The cloudy and threatening aspect of the weather in the forenoon no doubt prevented the attendance from being larger. However, the rain held off, and the event was very enjoyable. The time fixed for starting was half-past 3 o'clock p.m., and shortly before the appointed hour the competitive yachts, six in number and well manned, were in proper position, with their sails spread to the south-west breeze. The Reporter was sailed by Captain Hathorn, the Pinafore by Captain T. Bailey, Grand Flaneur by Captain Morey, the Viola by Captain W. Bailey, IXL by Captain Gill, and the Victoria by Captain Pritchard. The judge and timekeeper, Mr H. R. Caselli, J.P., the starter, Mr '''Bechervaise''', and the secretary, Mr W. Downie, were at their posts as usual, evincing much interest in the discharge of their duties, and leaving nothing undone "officially" that could help to bring off the affair with eclat. Everything being in readiness, Mr '''Bechervaise''' gave the word, the moorings were slipped, and a fair start was effected, the yachts going off in pretty close companionship in a south-west gale. In the course to Brace’s buoy there was some beating; the buoy, however, was first rounded by the Reporter, with Pinafore second, the Viola third, and the others following. These positions were maintained till the second round, when the Reporter, falling off in speed, enabled Pinafore to gain Brace’s buoy in one tack, and come within two or three lengths of the former. There was no noteworthy alteration, in the positions of the other yachts. In the third round Grand Flaneur improved her pace and gained third position, the winners of the event passing the judge's stand as follows:— Reporter, first; time, 1 hour 35 min. 50 sec. Pinafore, second; time, 1 hour 37 min. 10 sec. Grand Flaneur, third; time, 1 hour 37 min. 25 sec. Owing to the shifting of the wind towards the close of the match, the other yachts, in spite of the gallant and determined efforts of the experienced crews, were spread about considerably, and were not timed. Up till the present the points gained by the victorious yachts are as follow:— Reporter, 8; Pinafore, 8; Grand Flaneur, 2; and IXL, 2. After the event was concluded the official business was wound up at Lake View hotel, and it was decided that the next event take place on next Saturday afternoon, at half-past 3 o'clock. Some fervent aspirations were expressed for a good downpour of rain in the interim to raise the water in the lake; and among the jocular compliments interchanged it was remarked that Mr T. Mann, who formerly took such an interest in rowing, had turned his attention to yachting, and was now main-sheet man of the Grand Flaneur, having gained this honour not by sticking close to his desk and never going to sea, but by active and efficient service on board.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219327199 |title=SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=61 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 March 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Long treatise on the benefits of keeping females in the public service after marriage, cites telegraphists as a specific case where extended experience is beneficial
<blockquote>'''MARRIED FEMALE TEACHERS.''' TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR,— As you are aware, Mr Quick, M.P., has given notice in the Legislative Assembly of his intention to ask the hon. the Minister of Public Instruction if he intends to cause female teachers to retire from the service of the Education Department when they get married, and by so doing, to place the Education Department upon the same footing as the Postal Department, from which females are compelled to retire upon their marriage. I trust you will allow me space to point out the want of analogy, between the two cases, and to make some general remarks on the subject. Females in the Postal Department (I except the Telegraph Department) have not to pass any special examination to qualify themselves for their positions; they have not to undergo any special training; nor is the nature of the duties they have to perform such as is considerably improved by experience and length of service; neither can they be looked upon as having any professional standing. The duties which, I am informed, are generally performed by females in the Postal Department are — Selling stamps, tying up mailbags, heating sealing-wax, obliterating postage stamps, stamping letters, sorting letters, making up and despatching mails, and other like light duties, the performance of which does not bring into play the exercise of any high intellectual powers; nor does continued experience in these duties necessarily make a person more expert in the performance of them. With the majority of the females in the Education Department the case is entirely different. Before they can obtain employment, they must pass a fairly stiff examination, and must show that they are "apt to teach," this latter giving a professional value to their abilities. Take the case of a female who obtains a trained teacher's certificate. Before being allowed to even enter the institution, she must pass a difficult elementary examination, such as matriculation or first-class pupil teacher's. She has then to spend at least two years in the training schools, and besides passing a higher examination in elementary subjects, has to pass in singing, drawing, drill, gymnastics, Latin, French, history, Euclid, algebra, physiology, botany, chemistry, and others, which I cannot just now call to mind. Again, her education costs the State something like £150, and it is compulsory up her that she shall teach for at least four years in any school to which she may be appointed, and she has to find security to the extent of £100 that she will do so. Now, if a trained teacher, should teach for the mere minimum length of time required by the department, the average cost of her education a year will be £150 divide 4 = £37 10s, and another teacher will then have to be trained in her place at a similar cost. But suppose that she should remain in the department for say twenty years, the cost of her training would be only £150 divide 20 = £7 10s per annum; so that the longer she taught the smaller would be the ratio of the cost of her education to the State. To what advantage, then, is it that we should give the above-quoted high-class education to females if they must compulsorily quit the service when they get married? I think it will be generally admitted by most that experience and length of service are requisite and necessary to produce a good teacher. The longer a teacher is employed, the more experienced will she become. I think also it will be admitted that an educated and experienced married woman is above all others the most fitted to impart elementary knowledge to children. Her sympathies are larger than those of young girls, and from practical knowledge in her own home she acquires an additional experience in managing the little ones at school. Who, for instance, is more fitted to be the teacher of an infant class than an educated and experienced mother of a family? I shall now cite an example as to the relative merits of the same teacher under different circumstances.— A female teacher passes for a trained teacher’s certificate. She gets employed in a school for four years, and then gets married and leaves the service. The same woman is allowed to continue to teach, and continues to do so for say twenty years. Under which of these conditions is she the more useful to the State? Why, unquestionably in the latter case. In the first instance we have a female who possesses a certain amount of literary knowledge, and a certain theoretical amount of teaching ability. She enters the schools, and just as she has served a four years' practical apprenticeship she leaves. In the second instance we find the same woman continuing to teach, continuing to obtain additional experience, and her influence in the school greatly increased through her having become a married woman, in whom the parents of the children would have much more confidence than they would have in a young girl, whom they would look upon as one who entered the teaching profession simply as a makeshift until "she got married." There cannot be the slightest doubt but that married females in a school raise its tone and morale, and from time immemorial it has been the notion amongst English people that a married couple should be at the head of a mixed school of boys and girls. The late Board of Education fostered and encouraged marriage amongst teachers by every means in their power. They held that when teachers got married there was a likelihood of their remaining in the profession for life. So also has it been the policy of the Education Department up to the present time, but they have made the wise provision, that where the head teacher's wife is employed in the same school she shall receive 20 per cent. less income than any other female would be entitled to in the same position. From personal knowledge — and I have had the experience of a quarter of a century in the matter — I believe that the schools conducted by head teachers and their wives are among the very best in the colony, both in education and morality. Four of the best conducted training schools in the colony are conducted by head teachers and their wives. I must admit, also, that married females, almost without exception, are the best teachers in the colony, and we have a practical proof of this in the Ballarat schools alone, in which most of the first assistants are married females, and well known to be thoroughly good teachers. I don't think that there is any duty in connection with the Post-office that an intelligent female might not be able to learn in six months, but it takes half a lifetime to make a sound practical teacher. Another argument against dismissing female teachers on their marriage is, that this practically places an embargo on matrimony. For this reason alone I do not believe in dismissing females, even from the Postal Department, on their marriage. Victoria bears the unenviable notoriety of being the colony whose marriage rate is the lowest in Australasia; of being a land, in fact, "where her maidens are not given to marriage."— Yours, &c., WATCHMAN.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219327683 |title=MARRIED FEMALE TEACHERS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=73 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=28 March 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The insufficient depth of the Whitelaw inquiry seems to have resulted in similar questions being raised about the Bendigo telegraph office
<blockquote>'''TELEGRAPHIC SECRECY.''' THE members of the Bendigo Stock Exchange have resolved upon petitioning the Postmaster-General in reference to some matters in connection with the local telegraph office. Judging by current rumors, it seems time some action was taken in getting the Minister to make searching inquiry into the working of the local branch of the Telegraphic Department. In a paragraph published by us a few days ago it was stated that through a laxity of system which seems to prevail in the office, the messengers have ample opportunities of learning the contents of passing telegrams, and although the operators are bound to secrecy, as regards information passing through their hands, no such obligations seem to hinder the messengers. They may be cautioned, but a caution with youths is a lax tether upon their consciences. There is, however, a great deal more behind the scenes than the messengers' question in the grievance, which the deputation from the Stock Exchange desire to lay before the Minister. This hidden grievance is but indirectly implied, and a mistaken leniency of feeling upon the part of the gentlemen who will interview Mr. Langridge may not make this grievance perfectly plain. It has been felt throughout mining circles for a long time past that the local telegraph office is not a secret means of communication between broker and broker, or client and broker, and, although we cannot point to any direct evidence in support of it, we may state that there has been strong suspicion that the contents of telegrams have been improperly made use of by individuals interested in market operations. It is only the other day that an instance occurred of the contents of a telegram, from a gentleman in Melbourne to his broker, becoming mysteriously known to a large investor in mining, and it is strongly alleged that one of the rules of the Department, to the effect that none of the employes shall engage in mining speculation, has not been strictly observed. Again, we hear it affirmed, that a certain individual has boasted that he is enabled to learn the contents of messages intended for other people. If such a state of affairs exists, what guarantee, has any one that the contents of messages, which are supposed to be exclusively one's own, have not been purloined on the road? What certainly indicates something being wrong in the Department, is the action of several brokers sending their messages in cypher or couched in phrases understood only by their correspondents; but how far is this telegraphic code applicable to the large business transacted through the office? There can be little doubt but that the major portion of those who use the telegraph may unknowingly incur serious loss through the dishonesty of corrupt officials. Whether such officials exist in the Sandhurst telegraphic office or not it is the duty of the Postmaster-General to find out. We are forced to direct the attention of the Minister to this subject, because for some time past the feeling of dissatisfaction in connection with the Telegraph Department has been gradually increasing, and it is but due both to the department itself and the public that a thorough inquiry should take place. The whole of the officers in the department may be most unjustly maligned, or perhaps all may suffer through the dishonesty of one or a few. It is unjust that they should rest under a stigma in the eyes of the public outside if they are innocent, and it is equally unjust to the public if the department contains a solitary being who is unscrupulous as to how he obtains his information, and how he uses it. Besides, what will the outside public think of our Government institutions if such a system is allowed to prevail unchecked? Will they not have the evil American Boss Tweedism system before their eyes, and refuse to entrust important private affairs to the Telegraph Department, when they feel that such matters may be made public use of? We speak thus plainly upon this subject, because it is false delicacy to imagine that an injury is done to anyone by calling attention to the matter. It would be decidedly wrong in the public interest for us to keep silent when rumor is busy with a hundredfold tongue upon the question, and we feel it our duty to draw the Minister's attention to the advisability of having a thorough inquiry, and removing the cause of complaint, whatever it is. There has been great apparent laxity in the department, and it is obvious that the fault should be immediately remedied, in order to restore the confidence of the public in an institution which carries secrets which are supposed to be as inviolate there as in the proverbial grave. If the telegraphic authorities tacitly sanction the communication of the contents of private telegrams to every Tom, Dick, and Harry, for whom they are not intended, we might just as reasonably expect that the contents of every letter passing through the post-office should be treated in the same manner. And, if a system of corrupt practices exists at all we may fairly inquire to what limits it is likely to be confined? If one section of a department observes another section using with impunity information which is not intended for them, it may naturally be suspected that they will endeavor to make use of the same advantages, and then into what a rotten condition that department may fall. We, therefore, repeat that the finger of suspicion having been pointed at the local telegraph office it is the bounden duty of the Minister to thoroughly inquire into the matter, and see upon what grounds the current rumors of the day are being founded. Until he does so no trust can be placed in the inviobability of messages passed through the local office.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article88632562 |title=TELEGRAPHIC SECRECY. |newspaper=[[Bendigo Advertiser]] |volume=XXVIII, |issue=8,040 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=9 April 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''THE MILLARD TROPHY.''' The fifth event for the above was sailed on Saturday afternoon. A good burster was blowing from the N.N.W., with heavy rain and squalls, but, true as steel, the "hardy Norsemen" mustered in force. There was some delay in the arrangements, owing to many untoward circumstances, and the Victoria (Lieut. Thurling, R.N.R.), was all behindhand, she appearing to have her mainsail bent where her jib ought to have been. Why will he not keep his bob-stay taut? However, at last (four p.m.) there were six fine yachts at their moorings, ready for the starter's stentorian "let go," and when it was given the sight reminded an old salt of the ancient sea distich, so often sang at war time, "When Britons made the foeman run," after a "yard-arm to yard-arm" bout:— . . . The result of the spin was — Pinafore, 1; Reporter, 2; Argyle, 3; Flaneur, 4; Kathleen 5; Victoria, 6; but the time allowance gave Argyle first place, and Kathleen second, with Pinafore third. The points now stand — Grand Flaneur 11, Reporter 10, Kathleen 13, Pinafore 6, Viola 3, Argyle 7. It is therefore expected that a settlement of Mr Millard's handsome prize will be made next Saturday. Mr '''Bechervaise''' acted as judge, timekeeper, and starter. He also had to "Tail on the fall With the cook, steward, and all," The other officers being absent, it was supposed coursing, but what kind of "coursing" these aged people indulge in is best known to themselves. Messrs Goodall, Stoddart, and Millard, owners of the Reporter, Pinafore, and Victoria respectively, are generally to the fore in their own vessels, but were missed on this occasion, and as for "Old Admiral Ward," he must have another little game on, as his venerable figurehead has not "made its number" for some time past.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249287068 |title=THE MILLARD TROPHY. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXVIII, |issue=4327 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=9 May 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

There were about twenty-five gentlemen present, and Mr Rosenblum was voted to the chair. Mr H. A. King, secretary pro tem, read a report from the subcommittee appointed to draw up the rules, and to select a suitable site for a gymnasium. The report stated that a site north of the Alfred Hall had been fixed upon, and application to be made to the Town Council for a lease of the land for twenty-one years; also that the application had been favourably received, and the land would be obtained at a nominal rent. The action of the subcommittee was approved. It was unanimously resolved that the name of the club be "The Ballarat Gymnastic Institute." The rules were considered seriatim. The subscription was fixed at one guinea per annum, with 10s 6d. entrance fee. It was decided to try to obtain the use of the Alfred Hall until a building was erected. The number of the committee was fixed at seven, with a president, two vice-presidents, a secretary and treasurer; all of the offices to be honorary. It was decided that the appointment of an instructor be postponed for the consideration by the general body of members at a meeting called for the purpose. The committee was empowered to spend the revenue for the benefit of the club. It was decided that no person under sixteen years of age be admitted to membership in the club. The following officers were appointed:— Mr H. A. King, secretary; Mr Rosenblum, president; Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and Garbutt, vice-presidents; Mr Baylee, treasurer; and Messrs F. Smith, G. Gross, H. Young, Alfred Bennett, W. Madden, A. Anderson, and D. Brophy, M.L.A., were elected members of committee. The successful candidates present returned thanks for the honour conferred on them. We may add that the mayors of the City and Town, and the Minister of Education for the time being, are the trustees of the club. Complimentary votes of thanks were passed, and the proceedings closed with a hearty vote of thanks to the chair, three cheers for the club, led by Mr '''Bechervaise''', and a vote of thanks to the press.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219329436 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=118 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=20 May 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise plays a prominent part at proceedings to end the year of the Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE MILLARD TROPHY.''' On Saturday afternoon, pursuant to arrangement, the tie between the Reporter and Kathleen for the above trophy was sailed off in the presence of a goodly number of the lovers of nautical sport. Mr H. R. Caselli, J.P., judge, Mr '''Bechervaise''', starter, and Mr W. Downie, secretary, were at their posts as usual. The Reporter went away leading, and maintained that position throughout, thereby carrying off the trophy. The time was as follows:— Reporter, 1 hour 30 min.; Kathleen, 1 hour 37 min. 15 sec. A sweepstakes event was also sailed, the competitors being Pinafore, Grand Flaneur, Argyle, and Victoria. It was a blind handicap. The distance was twice round the course, and, at the conclusion of a splendid contest, the Argyle was the winner. After the sports had been finished the committee adjourned to Lake View hotel, to wind up the business. Mr J. Hickman occupied the chair. The routine matters having been settled, Mr '''Bechervaise''' called upon the company to drink the health of the donor of the trophy, Mr Millard. They were glad to have received such a trophy, and glad that Mr Millard had joined their ranks. The trophy had been given in a grand spirit, and had been well received by the members of the club and the public generally. All had done their duty nobly in the affair, and he had great pleasure in proposing "Mr Millard's Health." The toast was heartily drunk with musical honours. Captain Thurling, in the absence of Mr Millard, returned thanks for that gentleman. Mr Caselli then rose to propose "The health of the winner of the trophy, Captain Hathorn," and congratulate that gentleman on having carried off the prize after such a tough contest, that being the seventh race for the trophy. It was satisfactory that the contest had been so tough, as the public had thereby been afforded a greater amount of pleasure. The toast was heartily drunk with musical honours, and Captain Hathorn expressed the pleasure he experienced at being the winner in such a hard contest of such a grand trophy. He also remarked that it would be gratifying to Mr Goodall, who kept the boat there for his pleasure. Captain Hathorn also expressed the pleasure he experienced at seeing Mr Leggo and Mr Ware present, and he concluded by thanking them heartily on behalf of Mr Goodall and himself. It was then arranged that an officers' run take place next Saturday between Messrs Caselli, '''Bechervaise''', Downie, and Mann, the crews to be drawn for by the club on Friday evening. Captain Hathorn then proposed "The Unsuccessful Competitors," speaking in complimentary terms of those gentlemen, and particularly of Captain Gill. The toast was heartily drunk, and Captain Gill returned thanks, expressing himself satisfied that everything had been carried out "square." (Applause.) Mr T. Mann, in the absence of Captain Morey, returned thanks for that gentleman. Mr Adam Clinton also returned thanks, and congratulated the club on the marked improvement in the yachts, claiming credit for the boat built in the bush at Linton, as the main cause of the progress that had taken place. Mr T. Bailey also responded, and spoke of the ability of his crew. Mr '''Bechervaise''' explained that Mr Edward Williams was unavoidably absent, having had to officiate as "chucker-out" at a football arrangement. The company being all anxious to know what sort of new capacity Mr Williams was acting in, Mr '''Bechervaise''', amid general laughter, proceeded to explain to the effect that Mr Williams had informed him that the nature of the service was, that when any spectator entered the ground without paying his entrance fee it was his (Mr Williams') duty to "chuck" the intruder over the fence. (Prolonged laughter.) The chairman then expressed the pleasure he felt in looking back over the season's yachting that there had been no disputes, their affairs having been conducted in the most satisfactory manner. Mr Leggo said that he wished to say a few words in response to the kind reference that had been made to him. He had been ill and unable to attend, but he was glad to see the club progressing. He proceeded to speak of the ability of the yachtsmen, and concluded by again thanking them for the kind manner in which they had received him. Mr Ware also responded, remarking that when he left Ballarat, Lake Wendouree was a swamp covered with reeds, and he was astonished when he came back to see a beautiful lake covered with boats. After a few more remarks he concluded by stating that although he could not render much service as a yachtsman he would be happy to make ballasting. (Applause.) Mr Caselli proposed ‘"Mr T. Bailey's Health," remarking that he had come green to the nature of the lake and the boats on it, but he was always faithfully at his engagements, and had made astonishing progress. The toast was drunk with musical honours, and Mr Bailey responded, stating that he had one of the best crews in the Pinafore that ever sailed a boat in Victoria. Mr Bailey concluded by proposing "The Crews," which was drunk with musical honours. Mr T. Saunders responded, stating that he was one of the first yachtsmen on Lake Wendouree, and he wished to remain a member of the yacht club. He eulogised the captain as having "hardly ever" used a bad word at sea. (Great laughter.) Mr T. Mann responded on behalf of the absent crew of the Flaneur. Mr Morey, jun., who was called on, also made a few remarks very appropriately. The proceedings, which, as will have been seen, were of a very jovial character, then terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219329518 |title=SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=120 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=23 May 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise involved in some teething troubles for the Ballarat Gymnastic Institute
<blockquote>A meeting of the Ballarat Gymnastic Association committee was held last night, at Brophy's Hall. The application by a circus company for the use of the Alfred Hall has so greatly complicated matters the committee decided to apply for the use of the Eastern Market shed, till a building of their own can be erected. It was stated that the Mayor of Ballarat East was willing to allow them to commence boarding up the shed at once, and that a majority of the councillors had promised that if this were done they would confirm the action of the mayor. The conditions on which the services of Mr Reichmann can be secured, were agreed to; but owing to a strong protest by Messrs '''Bechervaise''', H. A. King, and Madden, against the fee (£1 1s per quarter) at present fixed for admission to ladies' class, the committee determined to endeavor to have it reduced. The bulk of the apparatus required is expected from Melbourne towards the end of the week, and the appliances in process of manufacture in Ballarat will also be ready in a few days. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249289416 |title=No Title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXVIII, |issue=4347 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=1 June 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Scrutiny of a female telegraphist appointment which appears to indicate nepotism
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . The Ballarat correspondent of the Ararat Advertiser writes:— "An appointment made some time since in the Post and Telegraph Department in this district, has caused some apparently justifiable dissatisfaction in the office here, and illustrates the inherent badness of the existing system of administration of the Civil Service. An unmarried young woman, who was taught telegraphy in Ballarat, has been appointed post and telegraph mistress in an office in this district; appointed over the heads of married men many years her senior in the service, men who helped to teach her, men who have waited for years for appointments like hers, men who have to rent houses for their wives and families here, whilst this single young woman, their junior, is appointed over their heads, and has a suite of rooms she can make no use of. But her family is said to have political influence, and there lies the secret, and so seeming injustice is done. Of course, so demoralising a system, demoralising both to the Minister and the service, as well as demoralising to the earwiggers who work the political wires, can only be got rid of by a reform that shall take appointments out of the hands of political heads of departments, and place the power in the hands of a non-political board, guided by such regulations as shall secure fair-play to merit and seniority. The young woman in question is not a member of the much-billeted family of Mr James, member for for Ballast East, but she is a member of a family who grip upon the State dugs is pretty strong.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219330087 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=134 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=8 June 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Ballarat Gymnastics Institute opens with Bechervaise a major driver
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and Rosenblum attended at the Town Council meeting yesterday evening as a deputation from the Gymnasium Association. As they heard the council confirm the Mayor's action in granting the site for the gymnasium, and refer the matter to the works committee to draw up the necessary regulations, there was little for the deputation to say on the subject, except to thank the council for the kindly interest they had taken in the matter. The Ballarat Gymnasium was formally opened last evening in the presence of a large concourse of the members and their friends. The opening ceremonial was performed by Mayor Lewis, and several congratulatory speeches were made by Messrs Rosenblum, '''Bechervaise''', and others. Mayor Robertson, who was detained by the meeting of the Town Council, afterwards arrived, in company with Crs Scott, Phillips, and other councillors. Mayor Robertson addressed those present briefly, as also did Mr. Scott. A slight refection was also provided for those present, and after the ceremonies attending the opening had been performed, a few members went through several feats on the appliances in the room.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219330217 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=137 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=11 June 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise instrumental in the establishment of the Ballarat Eclectic Association, but not an officeholder
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . A meeting of gentlemen was held at Craig's Royal hotel last evening, with the object of establishing an Eclectic Society in Ballarat. There were about twenty present, the chair being occupied by Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise'''. The chairman stated that at a preliminary meeting held on Monday, the 5th inst., a sub-committee was appointed to review the rules of the Eclectic Association of Victoria, and the sub-committee had now completed their labours. The present meeting had been convened principally for the purpose of considering if such an association were necessary in Ballarat. If it were so considered, it would be for the meeting to give the society a name, and elect a president and other officers. Mr Mills moved, and Mr Alroe seconded — "That an association be formed, to be called the Eclectic Association of Ballarat." The resolution was unanimously carried. The rules of the Eclectic Association of Victoria were then read over by the chairman, and a short discussion took place as to the desirability or otherwise of excluding political questions from all discussion, it being eventually decided to refer the matter to the committee to frame a regulation for the purpose of excluding politics. The election of officers then took place, with the following result:— President, Mr C. B. Finlayson; vice-presidents, Messrs Shaw and Stevens; committee, Messrs Williams, Mills, Palmer, Alroe, and Vallins; secretary, Mr Lorimer; treasurer, Mr Williams. The meeting then adjourned until Monday evening, the 20th instant, on which date the committee will send in a report with reference to the rules and regulations of the society.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219330307 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=139 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 June 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Emerging controversy on the proposed new post office for Ballarat East
<blockquote>The Town Council has just received from the Postmaster-General a communication which will not only furnish the members with a fertile topic at its next meeting, but will, if we mistake not, create a good deal of dissatisfaction in the municipality. We do not care to go into the subject at great length until the facts of the case are fully brought out at a meeting of the council; but it is due to the inhabitants to keep them, au courant respecting municipal affairs. Doubtless, every resident was delighted to observe that the recent proposed improvements for the township included the erection of a new post and telegraph office. We can readily imagine the pleasure experienced by the burgesses for some time past in noticing in the reports of the council meetings the assiduity with which the council was going to work to procure the most eligible site obtainable, and get all other preliminaries arranged. Now, this work, as we have every reason to believe, was undertaken on the understanding that £1000 would be granted by the department towards the purchase of a site, and that a grant for building purposes would be placed on the Estimates at a future time. From all we can gather, it was from the Hon. Mr Langridge's own words that the councillors were left under the impression that Government aid would be given, as already stated, and hence the confidence with which they entered upon the works. To be brief, a plan was prepared, as suggested by the Minister, showing the site unanimously agreed upon by the Council, and obtainable inside the sum said to have been promised towards the purchase of the ground. The site in question is opposite the Munster Arms hotel, on the northern side of the Melbourne road,, and is admirably situated for the convenience of the public, as several main roads converge towards that point; besides, it is near the railway station, and close to many of the leading thoroughfares. But why enlarge on the suitability of the site? The communication just fresh from the department has brought the project to an abrupt termination, informing the council in very plain terms that the building leased in 1869 for post-office purposes is considered suitable, and sufficiently commodious for the present requirements of the department. And further, that Mr Langridge is not aware of any promise having been made that a new post and telegraph office should be erected in Ballarat East. So the building now leased for post-office purposes is considered perfectly commodious for the present requirements of the department ! Are the requirements of "the people" not worthy of consideration? Time was when everything was done well "hardly" done, but, at least, said to be done — in the interests of "the people," but now it seems that things are being done in the interests of the department. We happen to know a little more on this subject, but we are not at liberty to divulge it just at present. Mr Langridge’s various conversations with, and promises to, certain members of the council will, we opine, furnish some very instructive disclosures at no distant date, and the public will probably also have an opportunity of learning that it has been stated, on what Dickens would call "the best authority," that the influence of one individual in the township, brought to bear at headquarters in Melbourne, has had the effect of thus getting the interests of the whole of "the people" in the municipality set aside in favour of his own. Can it be that "the people's" Government legislates in this spirit for "the people?" We shall await the denouement with more than usual curiosity.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219330388 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=141 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=16 June 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends the ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone of the Ballarat Baths and subsequent ceremonies
<blockquote>'''LAYING THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF THE BALLARAT EAST BATHS.''' The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the Ballarat East baths was performed on Saturday by Mayor Robertson, in the presence of a large number of residents of Ballarat East and West, and representatives of both municipal councils. The site for the baths is a reserve at the corner of Peel and Eastwood streets, on the southwest side. The basin will measure 80 feet by 187 feet, and will increase in depth from 3 feet to 8 feet. The ground was covered with sludge and tailings, which have been cleared off down to the original surface. No trial shafts have been sunk to discover whether there is any old ground, drives, or shafts below this, so that there is room for grave doubts as to what lies beneath the foundations. The contractors are Messrs Lewis and Roberts, and the contract price £1300, which does not include cement. The work is to be finished by the 1st of December. As an initiation of the ceremony, Councillor Scott introduced Messrs King and Fitzherbert (the assistant engineers) to the mayor. Mr Fitzherbert read a document relating to the laying of the stone, and naming the councillors present, which was placed underneath the stone in a bottle along with copies of the daily papers, and a penny. Mr Scott then introduced the contractors, on behalf of whom he presented a silver trowel to Mayor Robertson, who then delivered a short address. He said they were all well aware that the structure about to be erected would supply a long felt want, inasmuch as bathing, during the summer months in this climate was as desirable and requisite as food. Apart from the question of health, how many homes had been saddened by children being drowned when swimming in dangerous waterholes? The Town Council had long felt the necessity of a remedy, but, hitherto, difficulties had prevented the accomplishment of its object. These had at length been overcome, so that in a few months the town would be in possession of the largest swimming-baths in Australia, and of the benefits they would confer there could be no doubt. The stone was then lowered, and the mayor declared it to be well and truly laid, expressing a hope that the Great Architect of the universe would bless the undertaking, and protect the workmen from accident. The mayor then publicly thanked the contractors for their gift, which, he said, was rendered more valuable from the fact that it was manufactured by a townsman, Mr Bennett. He mentioned also that the assistant engineers were the sons of townsmen. They were under the care and guidance of the council's engineer, who had such confidence in them that he had entrusted the supervision of this work almost entirely to them. The mayor earnestly begged the State school teachers to inculcate into the minds of scholars the necessity of learning to swim, which, taken in conjunction with the gymnasium lately established in the town, could not fail to be of immense advantage. The mayor apologised for the absence of Mr James, M.L.A., but stated that Mr Brophy was present. Mr Brophy thanked the mayor and council for their kind invitation to be present. He hoped that not alone State school teachers, but every teacher and every parent would make their children go to the baths. In conclusion he congratulated the town and district on the initiation of this highly useful structure, which he believed would be carried out successfully. Mayor Wilson, of the city, who was then called upon, said it must be a matter of sincere congratulation to all to see the designs of such magnificent baths before them. There could be no jealousy between the East and the West because it did not matter where children learnt to swim, so long as they really learnt. These baths were twice or four times the size of the City baths. They would prove of incalculable benefit, and he wished the Town Council every success in the undertaking. Councillor Williams, who was the next speaker, said that when he first started the question of baths in the council, he never thought it would have such a conclusion. Mr Molloy then made a few remarks, after which Mayor Robertson proposed a vote of thanks to the Water Commission, its chairman, and officers, for the services they had rendered, and intended to render in future. Cheers were then given for the contractors and for the mayor, which brought the first portion of the proceedings to a termination. The mayor then invited the gentlemen present to the Town Hall, where refreshments were laid in the council hall. The mayor occupied the chair, and Councillor Williams the vice-chair; the company numbering about forty. The customary loyal toasts having been disposed of, the mayor proposed "The Parliament," coupled with the name of Mr Brophy. Mr Brophy, in reply, said he believed the present Parliament would prove, by its patriotism, that it would do more work, perhaps, than had been accomplished for many years past. That was his belief. The Government now in power meant well, and intended to do what was right. The Constitutional party, with which he was associated, would assist it, and with the assistance of that party, and of a great number of the Liberal party, would do good honest work. There were sufficient laws already if they were only carried out, but the mining laws would probably be revised. The mayor apologised for the absence of the chairman of the board of advice. He then proposed the toast of "Health and prosperity to the City Council," which was replied to by Mayor Wilson and Councillors Lewis and Salter. Cr Williams proposed, "Success to the undertaking," connected with the names of the contractors and engineers. Mr Roberts replied on behalf of the contractors, saying he had no fear as to the trustworthiness of the baths. Messrs King and Fitzherbert also replied. Mr Anderson proposed the health of the "Swimming Club," which was replied to by Messrs Ince, McGowan, Batten, and '''Bechervaise''', Mr McGowan stating that 200 boys were taught every year to swim by the club. Mr Webb then proposed the health of the "Teachers," and Messrs Molloy, Kildahl, Potter, Date, and Ryan (Geelong) replied. Councillor Phillips proposed the health of the "Officers of the City and Town Councils, and of the Water Commission." Messrs Fraser and Cathcart replied. Mayor Wilson then proposed the healths of the "Mayor of Ballarat East and the Town Council." Mayor Robertson and Councillors Phillips and James replied, and the company then broke up.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249746932 |title=LAYING THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF THE BALLARAT EAST BATHS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=4411 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=15 August 1881 |accessdate=24 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The results of the trial were very satisfactory, conversation in an ordinary tone being distinctly heard at either end of the line. Captains Hennah and Morris, of the Ballarat City and Ballarat brigades, were present, and were so impressed with the perfection of the apparatus that they intend to have similar communication established between the Eastern and the Western fire brigade stations.

Votes of thanks were passed to the treasurer and secretary, and to Mr Alex. Kelly, who had initiated the affair.

Bechervaise appointed as starter and committee member of the Ballarat Yacht Club at annual meeting
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT YACHT CLUB.''' The annual meeting of the Ballarat Yacht Club was held last evening at Gill's Lake View hotel. There were present about twenty members, the chair being occupied by Mr E. Morey. Annual Report.— The annual report was submitted as follows:— "In placing this the fourth annual report before you, your committee have to congratulate the members upon the success that has attended the club since its formation, and especially during the past season. The financial position of the club, as will be seen by the balance-sheet, is very satisfactory — due to the generosity of patrons, the increase of members, and the economy observed by your committee and officers. The receipts for the past season amount to £255 19s 2d, made up by a small balance from last year, subscriptions, donations, and entrance moneys; while the expenditure (which chiefly includes prizes and expenses in connection with the annual regatta, hire of steamer for members during the season, &c.) amounts to a like sum, less £40 13s 3d, which lies to the club's credit in the bank as a nucleus towards the ensuing season's proceedings. The members on the roll number 119, composed of a good percentage of the principal residents of Ballarat and district, together with gentlemen in Geelong, Melbourne, and elsewhere, and during the ensuing season we have every reason to believe the members' roll will be considerably augmented. The formal opening of the season 1880/1 took place on the 9th October, when the occasion was honored by the presence of Sir Samuel Wilson (president of the club) and Lady and Miss Wilson, who were accompanied by Sir William and Lady Robinson and other distinguished guests. The ceremonial was an unqualified success, aided in a great measure by the combined efforts of the Ballarat and City Rowing Clubs, a number of whose crews turned out to form in’ procession. . . . Election of Officers.— The following officers were elected for the ensuing season:— President, the Hon. Philip Russell, M.L.C.; vice presidents, Messrs Andrew S. Chirnside, jun., and B. Hepburn; commodore, Mr E. Morey; vice-commodore and captain, Mr W. Bailey; secretary, Mr W. Downie; treasurer, Mr T. Mann; executive committee, Messrs E. Millard, T. Stoddart, J. Goodall, J.

Bechervaise takes the opportunity of the season opening to show council where and what lake improvements are necessary, participates in the celebrations
<blockquote>'''LAKE WENDOUREE. THE OPENING OF THE YACHT AND ROWING SEASON.''' This event took place on Saturday. It had been determined by the committees of the yacht and rowing club's to present to the public a grand spectacle in the shape of a procession on the opening day, but "man proposes," &c., and in this case disappointment was the order of the day, for a regular northerly gale was blowing, and it was quite impossible for the rowing people to join — the sea was so high that no rowing boat could have lived in it — and hence the best that could be done was for the yachts, which were all "close reefed," to go in line around the sailing course. Prior to the opening, the lake and gardens committee of the City Council, including his Worship Mayor Wilson, Crs R. Lewis, Cr Salter, Mr Perry (town clerk), and Mr Woods (city inspector of works), met the Yacht Club Committee, the latter having chartered Gill’s steamer Wendouree for the purpose of steaming slowly around the northern channel in order that certain improvements suggested by the yacht committee might be pointed out. The greater number of the yachtsmen were busily engaged with their respective craft, but the council were attended by Messs Downie and '''Bechervaise''', who explained what was necessary. This being accomplished to the satisfaction of all parties a landing at View Point was effected. By this time, a large number of spectators had arrived, and the president of the yacht club, the Hon. Philip Russell, Mr B. Hepburn, vice-president, and some other visitors having been taken aboard the Wendouree, the order was given by Commodore Morey to the vice-commodore and captains to follow. When the yachts stood away with a free wind to Brace's buoy, having rounded this they hauled their wind, and lay over to the north shore, and then bore up for View Point, followed by the Wendouree and other steamers and boats. By this time the wind had dropped, and the sea had gone down, but as the president and other visitors had to leave, an adjournment was made to Gill's Lake View hotel, where refreshments had been laid in the upper room. Commodore Morey called upon all present to charge, and then "The Healths of the President and Vice-Presidents", were drunk in bumpers of champagne. These gentlemen having responded, Mr Vice-Commodore W. Bailey proposed the toast of "The Mayor and City Councillors," to which the mayor responded, and called upon the company to drink "Prosperity to the Ballarat Yacht Club." Messrs Morey, W. Bailey, '''Bechervaise''', Downie, and Caselli replied to the toast in fitting terms. There was a fine band on the balcony of the hotel and on the lawn during the afternoon discoursing sweet music, and enlivening the proceeding; and although things were not carried through as well as might have been under more promising conditions, still matters went off very agreeably, and we hope, and have no doubt, that a prosperous season for yachting and rowing was inaugurated on Saturday.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202594054 |title=LAKE WENDOUREE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=236 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 October 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise reports against installing a time ball at the City Hall Tower

Mr. '''Bechervaise''' remarks in addition that only one time-ball is in use in the colony, viz., at Williamstown and that it is maintained for the special benefit of the shipping; also, that he had considerable personal experience of the old timeball which formerly stood near the site of the present railway station, and his impression was that very little advantage was gained by the public from that form of making known the time, especially when the trouble and expense were taken into consideration, for it should be understood that unless the greatest care, precision, and regularity be observed in the working of such a public signal it would be unreliable and useless. We therefore recommend that no action be taken. It is fitting here to mention that upon complaints being made as to difference of time between the city clock and that of the railway station, a daily test extending over three weeks was made between the city clock and the electric time, on one occasion only was there any difference, the clock being then one minute slow.

Bechervaise attends, but does not exhibit, at a scientific evening at the School of Mines
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . A number of persons interested in scientific pursuits assembled by invitation last evening at the School of Mines, in order to witness various mechanical exhibits and beautiful experiments, shown by several enthusiasts in the cause of science. The proceedings were opened by Mr James Oddie, the vice-president, who delivered a practical address bearing upon the object of the meeting. Professor A. Mica Smith gave a simple explanatory speech upon science, and illustrated his remarks by nice experiments with the Geisler vacuum tubes. Mr R. H. Sutton exhibited a novel apparatus for storing electricity, and explained its principles in suitable terms. The construction of an electro-magnetic engine and a Morse telegraph sounder, shown by M. A. Carmichael, junr., was greatly admired. Mr '''Bechervaise''' spoke in a complimentary manner upon the successful efforts of the exhibitor. After several chemical experiments had been made by Mr A. Burbidge the meeting terminated with the usual votes of thanks. It is intended to hold a fortnightly series of the above class of entertainments at the School of Mines, in order to inculcate a love of scientific pursuits in the minds of the younger folk of Ballarat.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596080 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=274 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 November 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

At a further School of Mines scientific entertainment, Bechervaise moves that a new class be established in applied chemistry and electricity
<blockquote>'''CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY CLASS.''' The third entertainment of the series in connection with the School of Mines was held last evening in the lecture-room. The promoters of the class were determined that the affair should be placed on a firm basis, and accordingly issued invitations to numerous young people to attend. Judging by the number, about 130, of intelligent looking youths and young ladies present, their wish was gratified. Mr Oddie, the vice-president of the institution, presided, and delivered the opening address. Afterwards Professor A. Mica Smith explained the construction of a spectroscope, kindly lent by Mr E. Figgis. He showed with it the effects of the flames upon various metals, and enumerated many metals that had been discovered in the sun by its means. The illustrations also furnished by Mr Smith were greatly admired. Messrs Burbidge and Olden, two young chemists, respectively gave experiments with the Geisler vacuum tubes and in the department of chemistry, Messrs Carmichael, Hall, and Crisp exhibited some electric motor machines at work. The chairman, towards the conclusion, thanked the audience for the attention paid to the efforts of the gentlemen who had endeavored to instruct them that evening. The School of Mines had initiated the class for the ulterior object of inducing young men to secure the advantages of the institution by enrolling themselves as students. He instanced the wonderful nature of electricity, a power destined to supersede all other motive power. A desire was evinced to form the discipline of the school upon the model of the Technological institutions in Great Britain, so as to embrace a vast range of subjects. An idea had been mooted that a mechanical class should be established, so that with lathes and other proper appliances the students could be engaged in forming machines for the use of students in applied electricity. He advised the audience to be present at the next meeting, when a sewing-machine would be exhibited at work through the agency of electricity. Mr '''Bechervaise''' then submitted the following resolution:— "That this meeting would most gratefully appreciate the establishment of a class at the School of Mines for practical, mechanical, and technical instruction in applied chemistry and electricity; also that his worship the mayor of the city be invited to present the foregoing prayer for the favorable consideration of the council of the School of Mines." The motion was unanimously carried. Votes of thanks to all concerned in the pleasures afforded to the audience were passed, and the proceedings terminated. Afterwards, many availed themselves of the opportunity of inspecting the spectroscope and other exhibits.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596841 |title=CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY GLASS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=285 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=1 December 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise part of a group seeking establishment of a swimming club at the Ballarat East baths
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . A meeting of gentlemen interested in the formation of a swimming club in connection with the new baths at Ballarat East was held last evening at the Mechanics' Institute, when about 20 gentlemen were present, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' presided. After some remarks from the chairman, it was decided that a swimming club should be forthwith formed, Mr J. Walker being appointed to act as hon. secretary. A deputation, consisting of Messrs Wheeler, Batten, '''Bechervaise''', and the hon. secretary, was appointed to wait upon the council this evening with regard to the matter, and the same gentlemen were also appointed as a sub-committee to draw up rules, &c., to lay before an adjourned meeting to be held on Wednesday next at Mechanics' Institute at 7.30 p.m. The matter was entered into very heartily by the gentlemen present, and there is every prospect of a strong club being formed within a few weeks.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596805 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=285 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=1 December 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Lack of supply of fee stamps implies criticism of Bechervaise
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' The electoral registrars were busy yesterday issuing rights, and the Ballarat West proper division several hundreds were applied for. The demand was so great that no fee stamps were obtainable in the city, and consequently each applicant had to deposit his shilling with the registrar in order to obtain his right. This fact tends to prove that some other arrangements should be made for the supply of fee stamps on special occasions. The number of electors'-rights issued on the general roll for 1881, Ballarat West, is 1005; and for the supplementary roll for 1881, 50; making a total number of 1055. The number on the general roll for 1880 was 1743, thus showing a deficiency of 688 votes, according to Mr D. Christy's return. Mr Michell, electoral registrar for Ballarat East, reports having issued during the half-year 563 electoral rights. The return from the deputy registrar, Mr W. H. Ward, has not yet come to hand, but this, it is supposed, will increase the number by close upon 150 rights. The returns from Ballarat East are considered satisfactory, and show that the ratepayers are fully determined to exercise their franchise at ensuing elections. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596852 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=286 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 December 1881 |accessdate=27 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
As previous
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . A deputation, consisting of Messrs '''Bechervaise''', Wheeler, and Batten, waited upon the Town Council yesterday for the purpose of suggesting several matters as to the control of the new town baths. Among other things recommended was the admission of members of the Ballarat Swimming Club at half prices, the construction of proper ladders, the erection of parallel and horizontal bars, &c., by which it was thought the baths would be made a popular and attractive place of resort. The council asked that the whole of these matters should be placed in writing, when they would receive due consideration. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596852 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=286 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 December 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
As previous, further detail
<blockquote>'''TOWN COUNCIL.''' Thursday, 1st December. SPECIAL MEETING. Present — The Mayor (Mr Theo. Williams), in the chair; and Crs Josephs, Phillips, Wood, Ferguson, James, Turpie, and Scott. . . . Deputations.— A deputation, consisting of Messrs '''Bechervaise''', Wheeler, and Batten, was introduced to the Town Council by Cr Scott, in connection with the new swimming baths. Mr '''Bechervaise''' stated that he, in company with the gentlemen accompanying him, had been appointed from a meeting held the previous evening, to wait upon the council, to ask for certain concessions to be made to members of the swimming club. He considered the new baths to be the best of the kind he had yet seen in the colony. Mr Batten said the meeting held the previous evening was well attended, and it was then determined that a deputation should wait upon the council to ask for certain concessions. They asked that members of the club should be admitted at half rates. It was pointed out that the reasons for asking this concession was that the swimming club were foremost in getting up matches, teaching juveniles, &c. It was pointed out that no direct benefit would accrue to members of the club, seeing that the membership fee was £1 10s of which would consequently accrue to the council. Mr '''Bechervaise''', who brought under the notice of council other matters connected with the baths, such as the placing of the steps breast-wise, two spring boards, horizontal and parallel bars, &c. It also came as a suggestion from the Swimming Club that the baths should be opened with a series of matches, and that annual prizes should be offered. The mayor requested the deputation to send in their views in writing to the council, and these would be duly considered. Mr '''Bechervaise''' thought that having a good strong swimming club in connection with the baths would go a great way towards making the baths the success deserved. The deputation then thanked the council and withdrew. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596843 |title=TOWN COUNCIL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=286 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 December 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
As Courier report, a little different to the earlier Star report
<blockquote>'''CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY SOCIETY.''' The third meeting of the above society was held on Wednesday evening last, the chair being occupied by Mr James Oddie, the president of the society. The attendance at the meeting was far greater than at either of the previous ones, there being no less than from 130 to 140 present, including several ladies. Mr Oddie in a few pertinent remarks opened the meeting, and called upon Professor Smith, who very ably explained a spectroscope, kindly lent by Mr Figgis. The instrument is used to detect the presence of metals, &c., in any substance, and the professor stated that so minute is the analysis known as spectroscopic analysis, that, if the 180,000,000th part of a grain of potassium were placed in the flame of the spectroscope, it would be detected as once. By this instrument also, most of the substances in the sun have been found out; and several new metals have been brought to light that were never before known to exist. Professor Smith was followed by Mr William Burbidge, one of the assistants at the School of Mines, who showed his proficiency in electricity by several very pretty experiments with the "Geisler" vacuum tubes, kindly lent by Mr Flude, and in explaining the working of several electro-motors constructed by Messrs H. H. Crisp, and Carmichael. This young gentleman also showed an experiment with hydrogen and oxygen, by bottling them up together, and then lighting them by the electric spark, the result being an explosion something similar to that of a pistol. At the conclusion of the experiment, Mr O. L. Olden, another of the assistants at the School of Mines, entertained the audience by several illustrations in chemistry. The President then informed those present that the next meeting would be held on Wednesday, the 14th December, and requested the members to bring their friends with them, at the same time stating that there would be exhibited a sewing machine worked by electricity. He concluded by stating that electricity was a subject to which everybody should give his or her mind, as it was the power that would undoubtedly in a few years, revolutionise the world. Mr '''Bechervaise''' then put the following motion to the meeting:— "That this meeting would most gratefully appreciate the establishment of a class at the School of Mines for practical mechanics, and technical instruction in applied chemistry and electricity also that his worship the mayor of the City be invited to present the foregoing petition for the favorable consideration of the council of the School of Mines." The motion was seconded by Mr E. Figgis, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the gentlemen who had so kindly entertained the audience brought the meeting to a close. At the conclusion of the meeting several of the members availed themselves of the opportunity of examining more closely and viewing the effects of the spectroscope.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249284783 |title=CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY SOCIETY. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=4505 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 December 1881 |accessdate=25 November 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise springs to his defence of criticism than fee stamps unavailable
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', referring to a statement in yesterday's issue that no fee stamps were obtainable on Thursday, desires us to state that for the last few days he has taken special precautions to have available a large supply of one shilling fee stamps in order that he should be able to supply the demand for them. He also particularly notified the licensed vendors of this, and on Thursday evening, before closing, sent round to several of the vendors, giving them a similar reminder. Mr '''Bechervaise''' also called on Mr Christy and intimated the same to him. On Thursday night he had not less than 1000 shilling fee stamps left on hand. We may remark that our paragraph had reference more particularly to the applicants for electoral rights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and it is a fact that between these hours no fee stamps could be obtained from licensed vendors in the city. We fully believe that the fault is not that of Mr '''Bechervaise''', and hence our recommendation that some other plan of selling fee stamps after hours than at present should be adopted. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202596902 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVI, |issue=287 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=3 December 1881 |accessdate=27 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise again performs starter duties for Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. AQUATICS. THE CONTEST FOR MR GOODALL'S TROPHY.''' The weather being beautifully fine at Lake Wendouree on Saturday, induced many persons to pay this favorite spot a visit, in order to witness the contest for the trophy presented by Mr Goodall, a member of the Ballarat Yacht Club. The prize is valued at £30, it being a stipulation in the conditions of the race that the captain of the winning boat receive the trophy. The weather was all that could be desired for yachting purposes, a fine stiff south-westerly breeze blowing during the afternoon, which had the effect of driving the competing craft through the water at a quick rate. The distance travelled by the yachts was about 10½ miles (four rounds) the winning boat doing the work in 1 hour 25 min. A steamer was chartered by the club to convey judges, members of committee, reporters, and others over the course during the progress of the race, and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent by those who had assembled to witness the contest. The stately appearance of the yachts in the pleasant gale was an object of admiration, and regret was expressed when two of the competing craft were compelled to retire through accident. Mr '''Bechervaise''', as usual, was allotted the position of starter, while Mr H. R. Caselli, J.P., officiated as time-keeper and judge, both gentlemen giving satisfaction. At 3 o'clock the following competing boats were at their moorings off View Point, viz.:— Reporter, Viola, Pinafore, Grand Flaneur, Duke, and Flying Scud. At the words, "let go," the fleet got away well together, but shortly after parting with the ropes the Flying Scud showed in front, the Pinafore being close astern. This position was maintained until Brace's buoy had been reached, when the Duke came to the front, followed by the Flying Scud, Viola, and Reporter. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200665020 |title=SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=323 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 January 1882 |accessdate=27 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The chair was taken by Mr Oddie, the president of the society, who, after a few introductory remarks, called upon Professor Smith to proceed with his very interesting lecture, or rather course of lectures, on "Applied Chemistry." This the professor very lucidly did, the art of dyeing being the subject chosen for the evening's lecture. The lecturer explained the various dyes which were used in ancient times, and which are being used at the present time, and also very clearly showed the method of dyeing now in common use. This proved very interesting indeed, and the audience no doubt greatly appreciated it.

The Ballarat annual regatta took place on Lake Wendouree yesterday, but did not by any means prove as successful as those held on previous years. Although the weather was rather sultry, the heat was somewhat modified by a cool breeze, which prevailed throughout the whole day. There was, as usual on such occasions, a large display of bunting in the vicinity of the lake, and from Gill's hotel across the road to the lake was stretched a row of flags, which presented a gay appearance. The regatta would appear to have been taken very little interest in by business people, as scarcely a single shop in the principal streets of the city and town was to be seen closed in honor of the occasion. The non-observance of a public holiday of course had the effect of militating to a great extent against the attendance, and in the afternoon, when at its thickest, it could not have exceeded 2000 persons. . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249294185 |title=BALLARAT ANNUAL REGATTA. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXX, |issue=4590 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 March 1882 |accessdate=27 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The stipend of demonstration in chemistry was fixed at £150 per annum. The vice-president gave a resume of the business which had occupied the attention of the administrative council during the past quarter, referring to the attempt to institute popular science lectures in connection with the school. Also, the desirability of establishing a class in agricultural chemistry, and the support given to the proposal. The matter of purchase of the Preshaw collection, for which Messrs Goodall, Ham, Morey, and Stoddart had subscribed the sum of £50, in equal proportions, was left in the hands of the vice-president.

A return, showing the attendance of members at council meetings, was ordered to be prepared and submitted at next meeting. The council then adjourned.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249296347 |title=THE SCHOOL OF MINES, BALLARAT |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXX, |issue=4623 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 April 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=1 (Supplement to THE BALLARAT COURIER) |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise responds to criticism of his letter carriers
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . In yesterday's issue of the Star a paragraph was inserted drawing attention to the alleged carelessness of some of the letter carriers whilst on their rounds. It is but fair to Mr '''Bechervaise''', the local postmaster, to state that he has at all times proved his willingness to make the office over which he has charge a model one in every respect; but there must necessarily be faults which he has no power to remedy unless he is afforded the necessary information. It is our duty to give all publicity to such complaints as that which appeared yesterday, but it would be well if the sufferers would also supply Mr '''Bechervaise''' with the information, as we have no doubt that he would enquire into the matter, and if the case was proved against any of the employees that the delinquent would be properly dealt with. It is but right to add that it would only be fair to the office and to the letter carriers if such a course was adopted, and if errors of commission or omission were reported promptly to Mr Bechervaise he would at once be able to check mistakes and carelessness.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200670694 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=99 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=28 April 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends a farewell dinner to Lewis, locomotive master at Ballarat
<blockquote>'''VALEDICTORY BANQUET TO MR LEWIS.''' A large number of the friends of Mr Lewis, late locomotive superintendent at Ballarat, but whose promotion and subsequent removal to Sandhurst we recently recoded, entertained that gentleman last evening at Brophy's hotel, Sturt street. A very elegant repast had been prepared for the occasion, the catering having been entrusted to a such worthy hands as Mr McKenzie of Bridge street. The chair was occupied by Mr Hickman, one of the proprietors of the Union Foundry, the guest of the evening being seated at his right hand. The vice chair was taken by Mr Spillman, while there were present Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', Mr Bodycombe, Mr Shaw, jun., Mr Sewell, Mr Reid, Mr Jonathon Robinson, and many others more or less connected with the iron trade. The customary formal toasts having been disposed of, that of the guest of the evening was proposed in felicitous terms by the chairman, and received with three times three. Mr Lewis, in responding, expressed the gratitude he felt at seeing the many warm friends present who had honoured him by attending the complimentary meeting, more especially when he called to mind the fact that on his arrival in Ballarat he had not the pleasure of being personally acquainted with many he was now glad to reckon as esteemed friends. He thought it a fortunate thing for him that departmental regulations had brought about his removal to the famous city of Ballarat, as he had thus been brought into contact with gentlemen of great and varied experience, who readily extended to him the hand of good fellowship. It was no wonder, therefore, that he left Ballarat with a sorrowing heart. In saying "Goodbye," he sincerely trusted that health, happiness, and prosperity would be the lot of everyone present. It had been his ambition to perform the duties of his office, wherever located in a fair and honourable manner, and he was glad to find that he had succeeded in leaving such an impression on the minds of those with whom he had been associated, (Cheers). The toast of the "Locomotive Department" was next proposed, and suitably responded to by Mr Sewell. Several other toasts followed, while the enjoyment of the evening was greatly increased by songs, &c., contributed by several of the friends present.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200671796 |title=VALEDICTORY BANQUET TO MR LEWIS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=115 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 May 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise attends end of season celebrations for Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT YACHT CLUB.''' The yachting season of 1881-2 was formerly concluded yesterday afternoon by a crews' sailing-match, in which seven yachts contested. The weather was eminently suitable for a good contest, the wind blowing fresh from a northerly direction, and consequently one of the most interesting matches of the season was the result. The steamboat Wendouree followed the boats around the course. When a start was effected the Grand Flaneur led for the first round, the Pinafore being second, and the rest of the yachts a fair distance away. However on passing View Point the Darlie Bay was was first with the Grand Flaneur second, the other boats being well in the rear. On the second course the Pinafore was first round the garden's buoy, with the Grand Flaneur second, Darlie Bay third, and the Reporter fourth. The positions were reversed on reaching Brace's buoy, when the Reporter led followed by the Pinafore, Grand Flaneur and Darlie Bay in the order named. Darlie Bay crept up, and passing Edward’s buoy reached home first and was declared the winner. The Duke also passed the others, coming in second; the Reporter, after a close race, obtaining third place by two feet over the Pinafore, the remaining boats being far behind. The Darlie Bay was captained by Mr W. Pritchard, the Duke by Mr P. Morey, the Reporter by Mr A. J. E. Morey, and the Pinafore by Mr C. Robinson. '''A DINNER''' was afterwards held in the evening at Gill's Lake View hotel, when the crews were entertained by the officers of the club. The catering was performed by Mr McKenzie, of Bridge street, in his usual complete style. Vice-commodore Wm. Bailey occupied the chair, being supported on his right by Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', and on his left by Mr Wm. Downie; Captain Hathorne filled the vice-chair. The usual loyal toasts were disposed of, after which the chairman proposed the toast of "The Absent Commodore, Mr Edward Morey." In doing so he spoke eulogistically of the commodore's services to the club, stating that the latter gentleman had been at the helm of affairs during the past season, and that he had worked hard to get trophies to keep the club on a firm basis. He thought that it was the present company's duty to drink the health of the absent commodore in an enthusiastic manner. The toast was received with musical honours. Mr A. J. E. Morey, who replied on behalf of his father, said that he was deeply gratified at the way in which the toast was received. He was glad that the efforts of the commodore were appreciated, and stated that in a few months his father would doubtless be amongst them again, with the models of a boat that would perhaps "lick all creation," or at least the yachts on Lake Wendouree. He again thanked the company for its reception of the toast, and sat down amidst cheering. The following toasts were, subsequently given and duly responded to:— "The crews," "the vice-commodore, Mr Bailey," "Captain Hathorn," the donors of the seasons trophies," "the starter, Mr '''Bechervaise'''," "The judge, Mr Caselli," "The captain and officers of the club," "The press," "The musical talent," and "The host and hostess." During the evening occasion was taken by the chairman to present Mr W. Downie, hon. secretary of the club with a silver cruet and wine stand, as a token of their appreciation of his services, on the part of the members. The health of the recipient was also drunk, and Mr Downie suitably acknowledged the gift. The National Anthem brought the proceedings to a close.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article200671999 |title=BALLARAT YACHT CLUB. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=118 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=20 May 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Post office employee sustains injury at work, Bechervaise thanks first responders
<blockquote>A painter named John Cornwall, a single man, met with a nasty accident yesterday when engaged painting a telegraph pole in Dana street. The ladder he was standing on slipped, and he fell to the ground, a distance of some 14 or 15 feet, sustaining some contusions and a severe shaking. His point-pot, containing come red paint, fell with him, and its contests splashed up in his face, nose, and month, giving him a very sanguinary appearance. Some employees at the Union Foundry observed his mishap, and hastened to his assistance. Finding that he suffered from the effects of his fall, they conveyed him to the Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. Cornwall stating that he feared he had swallowed some of the paint, the resident surgeon administered an emetic, but it was found that though he got a mouthful of the pigment, none made its way into his gullet. He was admitted into the accident ward, Dr Owen recommending him to rest for some days. Cornwall is in the employ of the Postal Department, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' desires to thank the foundry employes who conveyed the sufferer to the Hospital.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article250058724 |title=No Title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXX, |issue=4650 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=24 May 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Overview of history of telegraphy classes at School of Mines, likely written by Bechervaise, notes his appointment as examiner in Ellery's stead
<blockquote>'''THE TELEGRAPHY CLASS AT THE SCHOOL OF MINES.''' We learn that an examination in telegraphy will be held at the School of Mines on Thursday (to-morrow) and that fourteen candidates will present themselves. It may, therefore, be interesting to many of our readers if we give a brief account of this class from its inception. In 1874, at the urgent request of the then council of the school, and by permission of the Government, the telegraphy class was organised and placed upon a proper basis by Mr '''Bechervaise''', who was for several years the lecturer and instructor, but on the transfer of that gentleman to take charge of the telegraph branch, Melbourne, in 1879, Mr W. D. Campbell, a former student, and an officer of the Telegraph Department, was appointed to the post. The two gentleman named, it will be seen by a reference to the school returns, have been eminently successful in their work, and many of the gentlemen and ladies who qualified themselves have received during the past few years appointments in the postal and telegraph service of this and the other colonies, and numbers of young men connected with the telegraph offices at Ballarat and surrounding towns have, upon the strength of their certificates of the school, received promotion. There is thus substantial proof of the good work achieved in this particular class, and we happen to know a number of young persons who have from time to time studied in other branches of science at our School of Mines, and who have by the knowledge thus gained been able to make a good start in life. This speaks volumes, and should be the means of causing a substantial addition to the students rolls at the school. For the information of intending future students at the telegraphy class, we may state that examinations take place half-yearly, and the course of instruction embraces the construction and uses of the several instruments in the Morse and other systems; the making up of Voltaic batteries, the direction and force of currents, operating; testing scientifically for faults of all descriptions at a telegraph office in the batteries, instruments, or any part of the connections, and also on the lines at any distance, together with a knowledge of magneto-electricity and electromagnetism, the mode of generating the same, &c., &c. These, with much additional information, the student requires to become thoroughly au fait in before he or she can with any prospect of success, put in an appearance for examination. Messrs R. L. J. Ellery, the Government astronomer (who was, by the way, at one time an officer in the Telegraph Department), and Mr Samuel W. McGowan, chief inspector of postal and telegraph service, have always been the examiners in this class; but we understand that the former gentleman has been compelled, in view of his numerous engagements, to resign his appointment, and Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''' has, on the nomination of Messrs Ellery and McGowan, been appointed to the vacant examinership.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article250065837 |title=THE TELEGRAPHY CLASS AT THE SCHOOL OF MINES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=4752 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=20 September 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The results were that eight were passed by the examiners, the names of whom are as follow:— Frank Duncan, Clunes (credit), 289; Susanna Watts Tregaskis (credit), 281; Annie Ella Jordan, 271; Margaret Ellen Brophy, 267; Ida Amelia Hellaten, 265; Susan Elizabeth McKenna, 262; Agnes Stewart Heatly, 254; William Dunn, 250.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202128959 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=225 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 September 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise, as president Ballarat Swimming Club presents the annual report
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT SWIMMING CLUB.''' The annual meeting of members was held last night at the Mechanics' Institute, Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''' (the president) in the chair. There was a large attendance of members, and Mr Caselli apologised for the absence of the city mayor. Annual Report —"Your committee took office in January last, and in presenting a brief report to the members and subscribers of the work done during the past season, they desire to remark that though many difficulties were encountered in collecting sufficient monies to bring off the annual swimming matches last March; still it is pleasing to record that the tournament was an unqualified success, which was in a great measure owing to the kindness of his worship the mayor of Melbourne, and Mr E. G. Fitzgibbon, town clerk, trustees in the Geo. Gall Bequest Cup, for allowing the same to be competed for in our matches. Also to Mr J. Noble Wilson, mayor of the city, who followed the good example of his predecessor in office, Mr Robert Lewis, by donating from his mayor's allowance the sum of £5, the Ballarat Yacht Club, who generously gave £5 5s, and the Hon. Francis Ormond, £3 3s; the thanks of the committee are due to these donors, with several other gentlemen who kindly helped. At the early part of the season, when the eastern baths were about to be opened, your president and other gentlemen waited upon the Town Council to render assistance and offer suggestions for the conducting of the business of the baths there, but more especially with a view to the establishment of a second swimming club at Ballarat East. But although the swimming club was not then formed, it is to be hoped that every effort will be made without loss of time to establish strong clubs in the city and town; and also, that the proposed ladies' club will be numerously attended. In concluding their report your committee desire to heartily thank the local press for the great assistance rendered.— '''W. P. Bechervaise''', President; A. W. Bennett, Hon. Secretary. The balance-sheet gave the receipts for the year at £58 4s 3d, and the expenditure at exactly the same amount. The directors reported the accounts correct. The report and balance sheet were then adopted. The following officers were then elected:— Patrons, Mayor Claxton (City), and Mayor Ferguson (town); president, Mr '''Bechervaise'''; vice-presidents, Messrs R. Baker and J. Josephs; committee — Messrs R. Lewis, O. E. Wilson, R. Ince, F. W, Claxton, S. Abrahams, H. E. Smith, W. Downie, Jas. Walker, Hy. Walsh, E. J. Rosenblum, and Dr Whitcombe. Messrs Caselli and Rosenblum then brought before the meeting the advisability of forming a ladies' swimming club, with Miss Elphinstone Dick as instructress. The meeting promised its hearty support to such a club, and Mr Caselli will meet the committee next week to take steps to put the ladies' club on a proper footing. The matters of the subscriptions for ladies, gentlemen, and youths were referred to the forthcoming committee meeting, but it was unanimously resolved that ladies should be eligible for election as members of the club. A strong committee having been formed, there is little room for doubt that the club will have a successful season. A hearty vote of thanks was passed, to Mr Alf. Bennett, the able secretary of the club, and as he could not undertake the secretarial duties this season, Mr J. S. H. Hammond was elected his successor. The meeting closed with the usual compliment to the chair.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202698573 |title=BALLARAT SWIMMING CLUB. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=261 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=3 November 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Fine warm weather was experienced, the only drawback being the very light breeze which prevailed, and which in a great measure prolonged the sailing con-tests. There was a good attendance of spectators, though at the same time the gathering was expected to have been more numerous, from the fact that a half-holiday was observed by nearly the whole of the business people of the city and town. . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202699411 |title=SPORTING NEWS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVII, |issue=274 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=18 November 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends the first annual competition of the Ballarat Gymnastic Association
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT GYMNASTIC ASSOCIATION.''' The first annual competition in connexion with the above association was held on Friday evening, the 24th November, in the presence of a large number of members and their friends, including a large percentage of ladies. Mr. Andrew Anderson, J.P., presided, and in opening the proceedings apologised for the absence of Mr. Rosenblum, the president (whose indisposition prevented him from being present). Messrs. G. Gross, the instructor, and H. A. King, the late secretary, conducted the proceedings, which consisted of a variety of cleverly performed feats, in which muscle and agility were well displayed. Included in the programme was a "tug of war," in which sides were chosen by Messrs. Chalmers and Hammond. This exercise was exceedingly well contested, and was finally won by the team of the former, amidst a deal of applause on the part of the audience. In the boys' class, Master William Young secured the champion prize, he being best at the horizontal bar, the Roman rings, and the horse. The prize is a very handsome silver medal, and the winner had no easy task to secure it. In the members' competition, Mr. J. S. H. Hammond was successful in taking the champion prize, he having won the horizontal bar, slanting ladder, and parallel bar exercise. The prize consisted of a beautiful gold Maltese cross, and was the gift of Mr. H. A. King. The winner in this case did excellent work. Mr. H. Chalmers won the horse exercise, Mr. J. Walker the horizontal ladder, and Mr. W. Shackles (after a good contest) secured the prize for Roman rings and dumb-bells. At the conclusion of the competition Mr. Andersen spoke in complimentary terms of the success attending the efforts of Mr. Geo. Gross as instructor during the past year, and stated that many who were not then present had attained great proficiency as gymnasts as well as physical benefit, and that a very large number of state school teachers who had lately joined the class had shown a marked improvement, and heartily appreciated the great benefit derivable from such splendid exercise. Mr. Gross returned thanks, and briefly pointed out the advantages of physical training, which was essential in assisting mental culture. Mr. '''W. P. Bechervaise''' then called for three hearty cheers for Mr. H. A. King, who had been the life and soul of the association since its inception. Three cheers were also given to Mr. Gross, after which Mr. H. R. Caselli proposed a cheer for the chairman, and the proceedings terminated.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article138646361 |title=BALLARAT GYMNASTIC ASSOCIATION. |newspaper=[[The Australasian]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=870 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 December 1882 |accessdate=28 November 2020 |page=14 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The correspondence in and out for the past month was submitted and dealt with by the council. The acting-registrar was instructed to convey the thanks of the council to Mr Wall, for kindly consenting to devote two evenings a month to the instruction of the members of the telescope company in astronomical science. Mr Wall will meet the young people at the school on the evenings of Thursday and Friday, the 15th and 16th of March instant, when it is expected that arrangements will be made with other gentle-men to assist in the work. An application for contributions to the Technological Museum, Sydney, recently destroyed by the burning of the Garden Palace, in which it was then located, received the favorable consideration of the council. It was resolved that the curator be requested to prepare a collection of specimens for presentation to the museum. The reports of the visiting committee for the past month were highly satisfactory, with the exception that it was observed with regret that some of the students attended very irregularly. It was suggested that means be adopted with a view of securing as full attendance as circumstances might permit. An improvement in this direction, it was considered, would tend to the benefit of the students and to the credit of the lecturers engaged in their instruction. A gentleman residing at Mansfield, desirous of patenting a new stop-action applicable to mining safety-cages, by letter requested the council to take the initiative in petitioning the Government to make concessions to designers of new mining appliances by remitting the fees payable to the Attorney-General under the patent laws. The council expressed their willingness to encourage by every means in their power ingenuity exerted on behalf of the miner, but declined to take action on present information. Tenders for the supply of firewood were laid on the table, and the tender of Mr Thos. Whyatt, of Sulky Gully, was accepted. The following notices of motion were given for next meeting:— 1. Redistribution of terms. 2. To place a sum of money in bank as a fixed deposit bearing interest, to be appropriated to scholarships. 3. To confirm the appointment of the present acting registrar as registrar of the institution, with a suitable increase of salary. 4. To limit sundry expenditure to £5 per month. The council then adjourned.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article254657482 |title=THE SCHOOL OF MINES, BALLARAT. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=4898 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=10 March 1883 |accessdate=29 November 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise acts as Umpire and Committeeman at Ballarat Annual Regatta
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT ANNUAL REGATTA.''' The annual regatta was held at the lake yesterday, and proved, as far as the racing was concerned, one of the finest, if not the finest, ever held in Ballarat. The entries were unusually numerous, and the finishes of the principal races were of a most exciting character. The affair was well conducted, but as we must strive to attain perfection we would suggest to the authorities of the clubs most interested in the success of the Ballarat regatta to consider, as their next improvement, the advisability of having the course properly surveyed, and also of having some means arranged for timing the races. Major Sleep attended the regatta yesterday ready to officiate as timekeeper, but there were no means of signalling either the start or the finish of a race, and it was consequently impossible to time the winners. In other respects the events were very well conducted and had the weather been fine would doubtless have drawn some thousands more to the lake than did assemble during the afternoon on the Eastern walk and View Point. The day was too cold to tempt many ladies to the lake side, but there was nearly 2000 spectators; for all that, on the banks near the boathouses and at View Point. The racing was most interesting, and much above the average of past regattas. The Maiden Sculls fell to Robertson of the Ballarat club; Barnes, the City representative, having one of his sculls broken early in the contest in a collision with the Ballarat man. . . . The following gentlemen officiated, as designated, in conducting the regatta:— Judges — Messrs H. R. Caselli and J. Garbutt. Starters — Messrs G. Lovitt and Pobjoy. Timekeeper, Major Steep.

Bechervaise attends final meeting of Phoenix Foundry demonstration committee (100 locomotives produced)
<blockquote>The final meeting of the Phoenix Foundry demonstration committee was held last evening in the City Hall, the mayor (Mr F. M. Claxton) in the chair. The report by the hon. secretary and treasurer was of a most satisfactory character, and the whole of the accounts were passed for payment, with the exception of the caterer's, which was left for settlement in the hands of Messrs Spillman and '''Bechervaise'''. It was elicited that there would be a credit balance of £20, and it was resolved that this sum be devoted towards the purchase of a scientific instrument for presentation to the School of Mines, and to be suitably inscribed as the gift of the Shaw banquet committee. The mayor complimented the committee on the manner in which it had carried out the whole arrangements, and stated he had never known a committee which had done so much work in so short a time. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the secretary, and a suggestion made that a memento be given to Mr Spillman, but that gentleman declined the proposal, and added that his work had been a labor of love, and he was pleased to know that the demonstration had been so successful. It was then resolved that the minute-book, together with photographs of the 100th engine and the scene of the demonstration, as also copies of the reports in the local papers be presented to the City Council to be placed within its archives.

As the proposed method necessitated the erection of three poles forming the comers of a triangle in, or partly in, the gardens in front of the Corner, the councillors considered the matter in committee, as they felt that it was right that the central telephone-bearers should be made as sightly a structure as possible. The councillors expressed a disinclination to have the gardens, which have been so recently set right, disturbed.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article254666970 |title=No Title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Courier]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=4995 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=3 July 1883 |accessdate=29 November 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise chairs special general meeting of Ballarat City Rowing Club
<blockquote>'''CITY ROWING CLUB.''' A special general meeting of the City Rowing Club was held last night at Brophy's hotel; Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''' in the chair, and about 40 members present. The resignation of the hon. secretary, Mr Rd. Toy, was tendered and accepted with regret, and it was decided that a letter be sent thanking him for his past services. The election of the hon. secretary of the club was then proceeded with, and resulted in Mr John G. Rennie being elected to that office. It may be added that Mr Rennie some two years ago filled the secretarial post in the club in question. During his term of office he gave the greatest satisfaction to the members; therefore, his re-election to his old position will no doubt be hailed with pleasure by his fellow oarsmen. The next business dealt with was the drawing of the ties for the scratch pair races to commence to morrow. The results were as follow:— Matthews v Bayley, McNaughton v Tootel, Lumsden v Shaw, Wheatland v Rennie, Barber v Dawson, Fitzgerald v Lawrie, Mountain v Hollander, Jamieson v Dobson, Aikin v Lewis, Trahar v Joy, Wheeler v Barnes, Hunt v Pobjoy, Strachan (walkover). The following heats will be rowed tomorrow afternoon:— Lumsden v Shaw, Barber v Dawson, Wheatland v Rennie.

Bechervaise again performs starter duties for Ballarat Yacht Club
<blockquote>'''THE BALLARAT YACHT CLUB REGATTA.''' President.— The Hon. Philip Russell, M.L.C.; vice-presidents, Messrs G. G. Morton and B. Hepburn; judge Mr H. R. Caselli; starter, Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise'''; treasurer, Mr T. Mann; committee, Messrs E. Morey, W. Bailey, E. Millard, T. Bailey, J. Hickman. C. Stewart, R. Orr, W. Gale, M. Griffiths, E. Williams, E. Morey, jun., G. Hathorn, W. Pritchard, T. Gill, A. Clinton, and T. Stoddart; secretary, Mr W. Downie. The seventh annual regatta of the Ballarat Yacht Club took place at Lake Wendouree yesterday. Favourable weather was experienced, but the attendance was not large. The paucity of spectators was, no doubt, in great measure due to the non-observance of the weekly half-holiday, owing to the approach of the holidays. With respect to the regatta, however, it may be stated that the sport proved of a highly interesting and enjoyable character. It is pleasing to hear visitors from Melbourne and other places speak in glowing terms of the enterprising and go-ahead disposition of Ballarat aquatic men. Yesterday a gentleman well-known in Victorian yachting circles, was heard to say that the Ballarat Yacht Club was the best of its kind in the colony, and its position was due to the perseverance, determination, and enterprise of the members. The matches of the Ballarat Yacht Club undoubtedly form one of the leading attractions to visitors in Ballarat, and in its absence Lake Wendouree would, indeed, be almost comparatively unknown to those who periodically spend a short time in the city. But, when one glances at the list of officers and committee of the club, there need be little wonder at the excellent position which it occupies in the aquatic world of Victoria. In the roll are to be seen the names of Ballarat's most prominent citizens, including the professional man, the commercial man, and the mining speculator. The efforts of the committee are ably seconded by their energetic and courteous secretary, Mr William Downie, a gentleman who devotes all his spare time to furthering the interests of his club. Yesterday's programme was not a long one, but nevertheless each event was highly interesting and exciting. On the ground during the day we noticed the Mayor of the City (Mr J. Hickman, J.P.), the Hon. Philip Russell, M.L.C., and several city councillors. Prout's brass band discoursed inspiriting music on View Point until after 5 o'clock. The water in the lake was not smooth, but still, with the fairly strong north westerly wind, a better day for boat sailing purposes could not be desired. That old and favourite aquatic gentleman, Mr H. R. Caselli, J.P., as usual, made an excellent and impartial judge, while Mr '''Bechervaise''', in his capacity of starter, gave the utmost satisfaction. Those members of the committee present were conspicuous for their courtesy to visitors, as well as for their anxiety to make the regatta a success. For the nonce, Private Paterson, of the Ballarat Rangers, acted as an artilleryman. He at regular intervals, at the starts and finishes, fired a small piece of artillery, and carried out his duties in a satisfactory manner. Ample provision was made for members and others. The steamer Wendouree was used by the judge, the members of committee, the members of the press, and lady friends. The steamer Ballarat was chartered by the club for members and lady friends. Liberal prizes were given in each event. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article201620328 |title=THE BALLARAT TAGHT CLUB REGATTA. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXVIII, |issue=305 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 December 1883 |accessdate=29 November 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends a meeting to establish a memorial to the Eureka Stockade, notes he was a digger on the periphery of the events, appointed to the memorial committee
<blockquote>'''PROPOSED MEMORIAL AT THE EUREKA STOCKADE.''' A meeting, called by advertisement, was held at Craig's hotel last evening, to devise means to work the site of the Eureka Stockade in token of an historic event in connection with Ballarat and the colony generally. Cr Robert Lewis, of Ballarat City, was voted to the chair, and there were present Crs Morrison, Salter, Williams, Gregory, Walker, Roff, and Ellsworth, and Messrs Hy. Josephs, '''Bechervaise''', Dyte, Spain, Persse, Sayers, Osborne, Wattis, Laidlaw, Christie, Wightwick, Hayes, Hall, W. Perry, and Hannington. The chairman explained the object of the meeting, and said that some steps ought to be taken to mark the spot, as the old pioneers were gradually passing away. The matter should have been attended to years ago, and the speaker hoped that the present movement would not be an abortive one. Cr. Morrison then apologised for the absence of the Mayor of the City, for Mr J. Noble Wilson the chairman of the Water Commission, and for Mr John Robson. As convener of the meeting, Cr. Morrison said that he had been obliged to give short notice to attend, as there had been especial reasons. Some time ago, when the Ministry of the day had been taken out to the water reserves, they had returned by the Eureka Stockade, and the absence of any memorial was strongly noticed. On another, occasion Mr Berry had promised to do what he could in placing a memorial on the place, and the speaker believed that Mr Bent had made the same promise. The speaker had a proposal to make which he thought would chime in with the views of everyone. They should get some of the condemned guns (68 pounders) lying about Melbourne, some fathoms of the chain cable, and as many tons of old iron as they could to do the work. Mr Service, who had been in Ballarat a few days ago, promised that they should get all they required if immediate application were made, but unless prompt measures were taken the stuff would be sold during the week. His proposal was, that they should get a granite or stone obelisk; that the cannon should be placed at the four angles of the reserve, and that railings could be put up manufactured of the old iron, which doubtless the ironfounders would willingly cast for the purpose. He had been told that for the sum of £300 they could put up a handsome stone monument on a heavy base. As it was a national matter, doubtless if they could raise £150 the Government would not object to pay £150 towards the object. It was a matter which should be pressed upon the members for the district, in order that their co-operation should be gained. Cr Roff advocated the raising of a memorial as the events of the Eureka Stockade were historic in the annals of the colony, and said that visitors would naturally enquire as to the history of Ballarat. As the events would become more widely known Ballarat would be sure to increase in interest. For that reason the pioneers as well as all persons in the town should take part and endeavour to carry out Mr Morrison's proposal. Some time ago there had been a movement on foot when it was proposed to erect a monolith, and Mr Caselli, the architect, had submitted several plans, which were laid upon the table, but, unfortunately, the attempt to raise a memorial proved abortive. The Eureka Stockade had given the colony a constitution second to none on the face of the globe, in which there were all the rights and liberties any man had a right to enjoy, and for that reason a memorial should be erected in memory of the diggers, who fell in fighting for constitutional rights. The speaker said that he had been associated with the eventful time, as he had George Black, for whose apprehension £500 was offered, in hiding. One of his (the speaker’s) young shopmen was in the stir, and the speaker gave him £5 to clear out to Melbourne. This, young man had rushed to him and said, "Oh God, they’re all slaughtered; give me some money, I'm off to Melbourne." The speaker then started to the place and saw the dead bodies. The "Gingerbeer man" was lying on the ground, his chest heaving violently. The speaker got assistance and tried to carry the man to a tent. The man's cap fell off and a great gash through his forehead was disclosed. The speaker, in concluding his remarks urged them to support Cr Morrison's proposal. Mr C. Dyte moved "That Cr Morrison be appointed secretary pro tem." The motion was carried. Mr Dyte then moved "That immediate application be made to the Government for the necessary material, towards building the monument. Mr Thomas Marks said that he had guided Peter Lalor to town in February, 1855, after the riots, and as an old moulder and furnace-man he would have great pleasure to melt all the metal required. As a member of the Old Identities' Association, he thought the old identities would do all they possibly could towards the erection of a memorial. Cr Salter, in seconding the resolution, hoped that the effort would have a successful issue, and if they put up a monument now, perhaps their "youngsters" would in the future raise an even more substantial memorial. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr Marks said that steps ought to be taken to have the flags and pikes restored to Ballarat. Nothing came of the suggestion. Mr '''Bechervaise''' said that although he had not been present at the Stockade, he had been bunted by the troopers while digging. He proposed that they should at once form a committee, appoint a treasurer, and by that means get some money. He thought that if £150 were raised they would have no difficulty in getting £150 from the Government. He though a 1s subscription should be initiated, as many of the old identities would like to have "a finger in the pie." Upon Mr '''Bechervaise's''' suggestion a committee was formed, consisting of the Mayors of the City and Town, and Messrs Salter, Lewis, Hoff, Williams, '''Bechervaise''', Spain, Josephs, Wilson, Dyte, and Hall. Mr Dyte said that it seemed to him the movement was a national affair, in which Ballarat was directly concerned. He advocated that the City and Town Councils should bear their share, as by that means every ratepayer would subscribe. As it was a general rule that those who subscribe were called upon to subscribe to everything, he thought the suggestion was a good one. Cr Ellsworth thought that the best possible way for the movement to be initiated was for all in the room to subscribe at once, and as far as he was personally concerned he would give £1 towards the object. In his opinion the Stockade had hastened the period of constitutional liberty by many years, and at present they enjoyed one of the best constitutions to be found any where. No doubt they enjoyed as much freedom and security for life and property, and therefore they ought to be extremely grateful to the men for the stand they took upon the occasion. Whatever the people did, it would be but a poor memento of the heroism displayed by the men under the circumstances they were placed in. The speaker moved that a subscription-list be now opened. Mr Hall, as an old resident since January 1853, seeing everything that occurred up to the end of the Stockade, when the prisoners were tried and acquitted, he knew very well that the liberty and freedom of those men were felt in the people's heart and rejoiced in. He had felt glad that the present meeting had been called, and had felt it his duty to attend. He would readily give as far as he was able to any movement or memorial for the diggers. He was one of the party, and remembered the time when Johnson was unhorsed at the rear of Mr William Lakeland’s property in those days. The place where Johnson was unhorsed was situated now at the back of Mr Isaac Jonas’s property in Bridge street. When Johnson was unhorsed, a determined spirit came over the diggers. The speaker once was come upon by a person named "Mr Shylock," who demanded £5 because the speaker had not a license. The license had expired two days before, and he had not been able to get another in time. He in company with others — some 100 — appeared at the camp next day, were told that they were fined £5 each, and were let go to get new licenses. From that time the diggers became determined as they had not come 16,000 miles to be trodden down. He thought that the subscription should not be confined to Ballarat, but that they should extend their operations to other places, in order to let all the old identities subscribe. Cr Williams thought that a one shilling subscription should be initiated in order to make the movement as general as possible, and he thought the young people especially would be glad to subscribe. A general subscription would cause everyone to take more interest in the matter. Mr '''Bechervaise''' proposed as an amendment upon Cr Ellsworth's motion, "That all matters of detail, regarding subscriptions, &c., be left to the committee." O. Salter seconded the amendment. His view was that they should receive subscriptions from 1s to £1, giving all classes a chance to contribute. Cr Ellsworth's notice was withdrawn, and the amendment, having become the motion, was carried. Mr Marks apologised for the absence of the president (Mr Graham) of the Old Identities' Association; and Mr Osborne, the secretary of that body, said that its members would contribute towards the memorial. On the motion of Mr Wattis, Cr Morrison was appointed hon. treasurer. A suggestion of Cr Morrison, that a mass meeting should be held, at which Mr John Robson could deliver an oration upon the Stockade, was left with the committee to deal with. On the motion of Cr Williams, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded Messrs Morrison and J. Noble Wilson for the steps they had taken in bringing the question of a memorial at the Eureka Stockade under the notice of the Premier. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. It was announced by the hon. treasurer that the sum of £20 had been subscribed in the room. The committee then met to discuss matters of detail.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202586938 |title=PROPOSED MEMORIAL AT THE EUREKA STOCKADE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=91 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 April 1884 |accessdate=29 October 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Communications with donations were received from the following:— New Kohinoor, Buninyong Estate, North Australasian, Band and Albion Consols, Bungareeshire, and from the Allandale Natives Association. Correspondence from the Defence Department regarding guns, carriages and mountings; also from the Railway Department, regarding the transit of same, was received and acknowledged. A letter from the City Council of Sandhurst, sympathising with the movement, was also received. It was decided that designs be invited for the proposed memorial, the same to be exhibited at the forthcoming Fine Arts Exhibition. It was also resolved that a public meeting of old pioneers be convened, at which the varied personal experiences of the old stockade days could be given. After some routine business, the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202588891 |title=THE EUREKA STOCKADE MEMORIAL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=120 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=21 May 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Star journalist voices strong, if verbose, support for the Eureka Stockade Memorial project
<blockquote>The members of the Eureka Memorial Stockade Committee are meeting with a fair amount of success in the praiseworthy business which they have in hand. Throughout the district there appears to be a desire to render assistance to the long-delayed movement, and this is especially noticeable among the old pioneers who were on the Eureka or adjoining goldfields in the memorable year 1854. The site upon which stood the historical Stockade has been allowed to go too long unhonoured; but it is to be hoped, now that the matter has been taken up with vigour by several leading citizens, that a substantial and lasting memorial will be erected as a reminder of the struggle which the early diggers of Ballarat made for liberty and legitimate freedom of action. There is one thing particularly pleasing about the movement which is now on foot relative to the Eureka memorial, and that is that a good many of the leading mining companies of the Ballarat and Creswick districts are coming forward with support, and it must also be gratifying to find an important and influential body like the Sandhurst City Council sympathising with the Eureka Stockade Memorial Committee. There are residing in Sandhurst many persons who were in Ballarat during the stirring times of long ago, and there are also scattered, it may be said, all over the world people who "dug in Ballarat," as some old pioneers put it, about the year 1854. It has been said that no matter what part of the world one goes to, he is sure to find a native of Great Britain or Ireland, and it may, in a measure, be stated that an old Ballarat digger is to be met with in every country where the English language is spoken. By the report of the last meeting of the Eureka Stockade Memorial Committee we notice that it has been resolved to convene a public meeting of pioneers, at which the varied personal experiences of the old Stockade days could be given. The decision is an excellent one, and the gentleman who made the suggestion has a happy knack for business. By all means let a mass meeting of old identities be called, and if the Alfred Hall will not afford the necessary accommodation for the "men of historic time," recourse must be had to an open air assemblage, in order to speak of what took place in days gone by. The Eureka riots now form a subject of history, and it would be well to have the historical records of the troubled period supplemented, though at this late period, 30 years afterwards, by explanations and opinions of some of the actors of 1854. We have said that many of the old diggers are still alive and well, and that they are scattered broadcast. Yes, we have met in various parts of Australia and New Zealand men who wrought in Ballarat when nothing was to be seen in the shape of dwellings but calico tents and perhaps a wooden shanty here and there. We have heard these old Ballaratites descant upon the Government tyranny prior to the Eureka riots, and one and all, though truly loyal to the Crown, were of opinion that the authorities of the time were responsible for the open rebellion which took place among the diggers. Would it not be well to advertise the proposed public meeting of old Ballarat pioneers in the principal papers of Victoria, and invite the presence of as many as possible of those who are now living away from this district? Would it not be a good plan to endeavour to induce the humane and popular Government of the present day to grant free or cheap railway passes to all such Ballarat pioneers, now in Victoria, who may present orders for passes from the secretary to the Memorial Committee? This Eureka Stockade public meeting and subsequent Memorial demonstration should not be allowed to pass by like a flash in the pan. If properly carried out, and we have no reason to think otherwise, it will prove one of the biggest events ever witnessed in Australia. Therefore, no time should be lost to fully mature the movement, and place on record for the perusal of the rising generation the causes which led up to the celebrated Eureka Stockade. With respect to the public meeting, we trust that the proper persons, men who really know how things stood at the period of the riots, will come to the front and place the facts fairly before the public. It is a duty that a good many pioneers owe the yet uninformed sections of society upon this point, particularly as there are to be found not a few persons who bitterly condemn the action of those who resisted the rule of the Government of the day. As there are persons, then, who, through ignorance, perhaps, entertain such opinions anent the Eureka riots, the question arises, "Who is right?"— the greater portion of the public, who sympathise with the present movement, or the few who denounce the noble fellows who fell in a just cause? Liberty has never been won by silence, and grinning and bearing oppression. The man who, while in possession of health of body and mind, submits to tyranny, would be anything but a credit to his race, and the bowing to the rule of the tyrant would be a display of cowardice, the name of which is detested by persons of spirit and manliness. The diggers of '54 fought for liberty, and liberty succeeded their efforts. The liberty that was gained on the Eureka 30 years ago has since spread, and in the fight each man, in a manner, no doubt, asked, in the words of Patrick Henry, "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery! Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but, as for me, give me liberty or death." Many, indeed, died on the Eureka for liberty, and their bones are now resting together in the grave in the Old Cemetery. We are not surprised to find that there are ordinarily sensible and far-seeing men who denounce, sometimes in publichouse bars, the diggers of the Eureka as rebels. Even representatives at the council table raise their voice against the action of the diggers. We know that in all rebellious movements in every nation there is a variety of feeling. For instance, at the American Declaration of Independence many in the United States were not only secretly but openly hostile to the course of the proceedings in relation to the movement of that time. The French Revolution was denounced by such a master statesman as Edmund Burke, and even to this day many who owe to that event much of the freedom they enjoy speak of it with hatred. It would be well, perhaps, for the opponents of the proposed Eureka Stockade Memorial movement to call a counter-meeting in order to put forward arguments, which, from the opponents' point of view will go to show that the rioters were in the wrong. The residents of this district who do not agree with the action which the diggers pursued, in throwing up a stockade and declaring war against tyrannical orders, should, as a matter of justice to the flunkeys who put the tyrannical rule of the Government of 1854 in force, let the rising generation and new comers in the colony know the case from a sympathising direction. The oppositionists would have their utterances taken down by the reporters, and the public would then have both sides of the question. Many of the clearest-headed men amongst us, who arrived in the colony after the Eureka riots, and have been depending for information on supposition from one and another, freely admit that they are unable to satisfy themselves as to whether the rebellion should have gone beyond moral force. We have heard many a new arrival in the colony say, when speaking of the Eureka riots, "I am told that the diggers were in the wrong; they acted rather hastily in opposing the Government." Such nonsensical remarks will not be heard when the story of the Eureka is fully told at the proposed public meeting, and published in the press of the colony. There is already in existence a "History of Ballarat" by an able journalist of long standing, but the sad tale of 1854 requires to be again sent forth among the people of the present day. As we have said, the upholders of the rule of the Government of 1854 can have their meeting, and the sooner the better. Then, before the memorial is placed in position the newcomers and the rising generation would be in possession of the case of the diggers' sympathisers as well as the arguments put forth by the opponents of the movement now being so successfully carried on towards maturity. Should the opponents have a meeting, no efforts should be spared to get those of the Eureka digger-hunters who are yet alive, and some of them doing well, to address the assemblage on the reasons they had for doing the dirty work. But we are afraid the opponents would not respond warmly to the invitation to hold a meeting. Let the Eureka Stockade Memorial Committee take heart in their exertions. They have a noble cause in hand, and they have the sympathy and support of a noble, liberty-loving people. "Municipal Reform," an esteemed and able correspondent, in yesterday's Star suggested that steps should be taken for the erection of a monument after the style of the Burke and Wills, in Collins street, Melbourne, with the Hon. Peter Lalor as the main figure, surrounded by Captain Ross, Messrs Thonean, Raffaelo, and other subordinates — the whole with the view to the further expansion of our municipal freedom. This is a capital idea, and one thoroughly in keeping with the practical, progressive nature of the old and influential pioneer "Municipal Freedom," who, with other pioneers, is known throughout the length and breadth of this wide district. Now that we are about to have a celebration in memory of the men who, on a Sunday morning in 1854, fell in the cause of liberty at the Eureka, let us try if it is not possible to carry out the suggestion of our correspondent. We have a Burke and Wills monument, to the memory of the celebrated explorers who perished at Cooper's Creek, and there is also to be seen in the main thoroughfare of Ballarat a monument to the memory of Galloway, the founder of the eight hours' movement in Victoria. To crown all, the public should come forward and erect on a high part of Sturt street a monument such as that mentioned by "Municipal Freedom." If the majority of the people of this district gave only a shilling per head, it would put up something substantial, which would be an ornament to the city, as well as a tribute to the noble dead. This need not interfere with the raising of the memorial on the Eureka diggings. In conclusion, we must say that, from all we have heard, we are strongly of the belief that the official oppression at the time of the Eureka riots was maddening and intolerable, and that it produced its natural consequences.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202588981 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=122 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=23 May 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise leads a flotilla across Lake Wendouree as part of the ceremonies for presentation of Stoddart statues
<blockquote>'''PRESENTATION OF STATUES TO THE CITIZENS OF BALLARAT.''' Queen's Birthday (Saturday) witnessed the formal presentation of 12 handsome statues of Carrara marble by Mr Thomas Stoddart, who has lately returned from a trip to Europe, to the mayor and councillors of the City of Ballarat in trust for the citizens. The figures, representing Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Hercules, Mercury, Hebe, Leda, Pomona, Flora, Bacchante, and Flora Farnese, were executed in Italy, expressly to the order of Mr. Stoddart, who, designing to make Ballarat his future home, thus endeavoured to further beautify a portion of it, already beautified by the hand of nature and art. Accordingly the statues were brought out from Italy, and the City Council, a few months ago, made preparations to place them in advantageous positions, calculated to display the symmetrical outlines of the figures. The best judgment has been shown by the committee in selecting the sites. The statues greatly enhance the attractions of the gardens, and Mr Stoddart is deserving of all praise for the munificent gift of such a noble collection to this, the "City of Gardens." The surroundings of the statues, as far as the flowers and shrubs are concerned, enhance the general effect, but a striking difference is made in some parts, notably where the eyes of the visitors are turned on the statue and next on a dilapidated house in which the eagles are confined. Doubtless, when the City Council wakes up to these defects in the general arrangement, they will be remedied for all time. As the visitors strolled through the gar-dens on Saturday universal encomiums were passed on the various figures. Criticism was remarkable for its absence, but the comparisons that prevailed were in some instances highly amusing. Upon this subject we cannot forbear to quote an ingenious comparison drawn by an old lady, who had pondered deeply for a few seconds upon the proportions of "Winter," represented by the sculptured figure of a old man shivering in his mantle. The elderly lady remarked, "That's not much unlike Mr Stoddart himself." A few intimate acquaintances of Mr Stoddart had a quiet grin over the striking comparison, and even the living subject indulged in hearty laughter. Upon the Sicilian marble pedestals of the statues the inscription "Presented by Thomas Stoddart, 1884," is cut in each. The figures Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Hercules, and Mercury have been executed by Bertezzi; Hebe, Leda, and Pomona, by B. Raggi; Flora by G. Marchetti; Bacchante and Flora Farnese by Giovanni Udoy. Those visitors who have even a slight acquaintance with the myths and legends of the ancients will doubtless feel double interest, and find their knowledge intensified by viewing some of the statues, while those who have not dipped into classical lore will yet find interesting matter in contemplating the beautiful objects. The statuary presented by Mr Stoddart does not alone adorn the gardens, but possesses educational influence which is certain to animate the hearts of youthful visitors. However, we must hark back to the description of the ceremonials attending the presentation, and therefore must transport our readers to the other side of the lake at View Point. The steamer Ballarat was lying at the Point, waiting for the guests of the City Council, and Gill's steamer, engaged by the B.Y.C., likewise waited for passengers. At or about half-past 2 o'clock Mr '''Bechervaise''', the marshal of the flotilla, got the line in order, the steamers beforementioned being in the van, with the B.Y.C. miniature fleet in the centre, and several crews from the City Rowing Club in the rear. Then the procession skirted the south shore, and at funeral pace described a half-moon to the gardens, were about 1000 spectators were drawn up on the steamboat landing to witness the disembarkation of the lucky ladies and gentlemen, who had been treated to a snail-pace passage across the stormy waters of our own Lake Wendouree. The gathering ground for the multitude was around a circular enclosure, into which the privileged few were admitted. Among those present were Messrs W. C. Smith, H. Bell, and G. R. Fincham, M's.L.A.; the mayor of the City (Mr John Hickman), Crs Claxton, Lewis, Salter, Thompson, McDonald, Little, and Morrison, of Ballarat City; and Cr Leckie, a councillor, both for Buninyongshire and Sebastopol. A large number of representative people also were:in attendance.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202589111 |title=PRESENTATION OF STATUES TO THE CITIZENS OF BAL LARAT. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=124 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=26 May 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Eureka Stockade Memorial Committee takes their case to council
<blockquote>'''TOWN COUNCIL.''' Friday 6th June. Present — His worship the mayor (Cr Ferguson) and Crs Williams, Roff, Russell, Ellsworth, Walker, Gregory, and Scott. . . . Eureka Stockade Memorial.— Cr Williams introduced a deputation from the Eureka Stockade Memorial Committee, consisting of Messrs R. Lewis, '''W. P. Bechervaise''', A. T. Morrison, H. Joseph, C. Dyte, and Hall. Mr Morrison explained to the council the steps which had been taken by the memorial committee, and said they would like to know if what they had done had met with the approval of the council. They also wished to ask the council to assist them in fencing in the ground. He referred to the fact that sometime ago a grant had been promised by the Government to the council for the improvement, and the committee now asked the council to make application to obtain the grant to fence and plant the site. The committee were not politically influenced, and only hoped to erect on that historical spot a monument that would be credit to the City and Town and the surrounding district. Messrs Lewis, '''Bechervaise''', and Dyte also spoke, stating that the committee had not come before the council sooner, not from any want of discourtesy, but in order that the arrangements might be more matured. The deputation thanked the council and withdrew. On the motion of Cr Scott it was decided — "That this council agree with the request made by the deputation as to the reserve and the object they have in view, and that the mayor act on behalf of the council in the matter." <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202589825 |title=TOWN COUNIL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=136 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=7 June 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Ceremony for laying of foundation stone for new Post and Telegraph office for Ballarat East
<blockquote>'''THE NEW POST AND TELEGRAPH OFFICES, BALLARAT EAST.''' LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE. Although a town of some 16,000 inhabitants, spread over an extensive area, Ballarat East has until lately possessed no offices of her own for the transaction of postal and telegraph business, an inconvenience which has been considerably felt by the Eastern residents. Previous to 1879 a receiving-box in the Main road was the accommodation, but in the latter year the building in Victoria street, the present post office, was leased from Mr James Long for a period of five years, and has since the expiration of the lease been held at a yearly rental. The difficulties that arose in the meantime as to a site for a new building to be erected by the Government finally resulted in the Humffray street and Main road site being chosen by a ballot of the ratepayers. Further difficulties arose, and although efforts were made to have the building gone on with, its erection was unaccountably delayed. At last the contract for the erection of the retaining wall, at a cost of some hundred pounds, was let by the present Government, and, on its completion, tenders were called for the erection of the main building. Mr Daniel Brown, of Ballarat, was the successful tenderer at the figure of £3050. The building will be a two-storey brick structure, with porticos somewhat similar to that at the city edifice. It will contain a large room for letters, and accommodation for telegraphic and money order business, with extra rooms for the residence of the postmaster, and when completed will form a handsome addition to the architecture of the Town. This being the first public building erected in Ballarat East, it was decided by the Town Council to celebrate the laying of the foundation stone in a worthy manner. . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202590562 |title=THE NEW POST AND TELE-GRAPH OFFICES, BALLARAT EAST. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=148 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=21 June 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise part of the group which assembles at Eureka Street to identify the Stockade location and the location of the proposed memorial
<blockquote>'''THE EUREKA STOCKADE MEMORIAL.''' The committee of the Eureka Stockade memorial movement and a number of old pioneers, including a number of those who had fought with the diggers on the memorable occasion, assembled on the site of the struggle yesterday afternoon to mark the best place on which to erect a suitable memorial of the event. There was an attendance of fully 200 persons, and many ladies graced the affair by their presence, while the younger generation was also represented in force. Included among those present were Mr John Noble Wilson (chairman of the Water Commission), the mayor of the Town (Mr John Ferguson), Crs Lewis, Morrison, Walker, Gregory, Roff, Williams, Ellsworth, Scott, ex-Crs Turpie and Josephs, Messrs '''Bechervaise''', John and James Robson, Lester, White, C. Dyte, Esmond, Osborne, Hall, Delahunty, Cavanagh, Marks, and several Eureka Stockaders. Messrs James Russell and John James M's.L.A., also attended. The assemblage scattered in different directions over the Eureka, and excited "con-fabs" took place between old identities as to the spots on which the varied scenes transpired in connection with the struggle. Mr C. Dyte pointed out the site of the store he was keeping at the time, and Mr Lester, of Lester's hotel, indicated the precise locality of an hotel he was keeping in those days. Diversity of opinion was great as to the sites of the Albion hotel, the blacksmith's shop, and other notable buildings at the time of the stockade. It was evident that the memory of the struggle and the causes that led up to it were still green in the hearts of many an old pioneer, and nothing seemed to give them greater pleasure than to give information to the young people regarding the occurrence. However, while willing to afford facilities to the young men to acquire knowledge on this head the old pioneers could not agree with each other as to the precise localities of the events themselves. Sometimes it seemed as if another "riot" was inevitable, and that the aid of the police would have to be called in, the military in these days being out of the question. One man could tell the exact boundaries of the Stockade, because he was aware of the spot on which his tent stood, near at hand, it being there his wife presented him with their eldest born son. Mr C. Dyte waa very much interested in showing the spot where the "Jew gingerbeer man" was found beneath the slabs with nine bullets imbedded in his body. Others sought to identify the site of the Stockade by the line of march of the soldiers on their way to attack the insurgent diggers. Others again fixed the locality by the site of the blacksmith's shop, where the smith with brawny arms hammered out iron for the manufacture of pike-heads, the smith himself afterwards receiving the testimony of the soldiers' advance by the deadly contact of a bullet with his forehead. Mr Delahunty, who now resides at Buninyong, also had his say to this effect:— The night before the attack he was standing sentry, and had received orders from Arthur Vern to shoot any man who attempted to pass out of the stockade. He in common with others was told at midnight by a certain captain to "turn in," which he did. Some time in the morning when the firing began he rushed out of his tent, and as it was dark he made for the "Nottingham tree," which had, however, been cut down. He then found Peter Lalor, and assisted the latter to a tent where another wounded man lay. Then Delahunty went back into the stockade and fetched "Father Smith" to attend to Lalor. Mr Delahunty was confident that he could fix the site of the struggle beyond question. Matters seemed to be approaching to a crisis, and as refreshments were not provided ad lib on the ground propositions for sundry adjournments for whisky, lemonade, ginger ale, and hop bitters were mooted, until the chairman of the committee (Cr Lewis) rose to the occasion and suggested that the veteran stockaders should gather in a circle, and one at a time to express his opinion as to the real site. Cr Roff, with one or two henchmen, was indefatigable in gathering in the "devoted few," and by wildly flourishing his umbrella the councillor in question did succeed. The gravity of a council of Red Indian braves and warriors, as described by Fenimore Cooper, did not prevail. An eager, anxious throng, suggestive of a railway deputation, all wished to speak at once, and notwithstanding the gesticulations and "Order, order" of Cr Roff and oily eloquence of the chairman, order could not be maintained. The excited thoughts of other days surged through the brains of Old Pioneers. and each wished to be heard. Above the din Cr Lewis' voice could be distinguished asking "Are we in the boundaries of the stockade?" Cries of "Yes, yes," "No, No," "You're wrong," "Will you be quiet?" "Keep your temper." At this stage a few practical men accompanied Mr Esmond and others to a place which they said was the best and proper site on which to place the monument, viz., in the centre of the ground. Mr John James, M.L.A., then informed the other crowd that he and his wife had walked up to the Eureka that day in order to show definitely the spot. He graphically described the site of his tent in those days, and described how the bullets whistled round the tent to the danger of himself, wife, and children. After the firing had ceased he and his wife went out and saw the stockade inflames, and also the wounded men. The applause which greeted this portion of his speech must have been as "balm of Gilead," to Mr James, and he wanted it as shown by his concluding remarks. The universal opinion was that the stockade was situated to the north of Eureka street, but Mr James' claim that it was on the southern side of the road, was received with strong expressions of dissent and laughter. The circle was by this time completely broken up and Cr Roff's ambition to form "another circle" was once more put to the test. At this stage, however, calls were made that the "few practical men" had fixed upon the site for the memorial and the place was surrounded. The Mayor of the Town then asked for an expression of opinion to the question whether it was the centre of the stockade. A few dissentient voices alone were raised. A peg was then driven into the ground to mark the spot, and three rousing cheers were given by the spectators. The memorial will, therefore, be placed in a commanding position, some 30 or 40 yards away from Eureka street. The design for the monument has been prepared by Mr H. A. King, who is now engaged in preparing the specifications of the work. Tenders will be called in a few days, to be dealt with at a meeting of the committee next week. The sum of £170 has been obtained, mostly in small subscriptions; and the committee are £30 short of the required amount for the erection of the memorial. The angles of the stockade will be mounted with cannon, donated for the purpose by the Service Government.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article201116461 |title=THE EUREKA STOCKADE MEMORIAL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXI X, |issue=178 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=26 July 1884 |accessdate=29 October 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise elected a vice-president of the Ballarat City Rowing Club
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT CITY ROWING CLUB.''' The annual meeting was held last night at the Unicorn hotel. Mr P. Cazaly, sen., occupied the chair. There was a good attendance. Annual Report.— The following is the gist of the annual report:— The committee beg to report that after careful and reasonable valuation, your property may be estimated to be worth £810, viz — buildings, £300; boats and material, £510. The liabilities amount to £218 8s 6d, leaving a balance in favour of assets of £594 1s 6d. The art union held during the year resulted in a net profit of £115 9s. After referring to the able services rendered to the club by Mr. Toy (the late secretary), to the purchase of new boats, to scratch four competitions, and to the races won by the representatives of the club, as well as to the kindness of the Melbourne Club in lending their best boat for the senior four race, the report went on to refer to the fact that a contract is now being carried out for the thorough repair, cleaning, painting, and varnishing of the whole of the boats in the shed, which would enable the members to start the season with comfort and satisfaction. Regret was once more expressed at the monstrous and absurd charges made by the Railway Department for the carriage of boats. In spite of every precaution, the cost of sending boats to the Geelong and Melbourne regattas exceeds £20. The report was adopted. An apology for non-attendance was read from Mr Caselli (president), at present in Echuca, and congratulating the club upon its position. Election of Officers.— President, Mr H. R. Caselli; vice-presidents, Messrs '''W. P. Bechervaise''', M. Cahill, C. Salter; treasurer, Mr D. Brophy; captain, Mr P. Cazaly; vice-captain, Mr A. McNaughton; committee, Messrs W. Crampton, J. Fitzgerald, R. Toy, R. A. Strachan, A. Gibbs, J. Barnes, E. Warren, J. Byrne, J. Atkins; hon. secretary, Mr John G. Rennie. Winning Crews.— Hearty votes of thanks were accorded to the various crews for winning races this year. Presentations.— Mr Willetts, photographer, presented the club with a splendid group of the winners of the maiden and junior fours of 1883. The secretary, on behalf of Mr J. Dunn, presented the club with a splendid photo of Mr Hanlan. Thanks.— A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the above gentlemen for their presents. A vote of thanks to the chair closed the meeting.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article201117915 |title=BALLARAT CITY ROWING CLUB. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=207 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=29 August 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise acts as starter for Ballarat Yacht Club's seventh annual regatta
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT YACHT CLUB.''' Patron, Sir W. J. Clarke, Bart; president, Hon. Philip Russell; vice-presidents, Messrs T. Bath and B. Hepburn; judge, Mr H. R. Caselli; starter, Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise'''; committee, Messrs E. Morey, W. Bailey, E. Millard, E. Williams, T. Bailey, J. Hickman, O. E. Edwards, M. Griffiths, C. Stewart, J. Murray, E. Morey (jun.), R. W. Holmes, W. Gale, J. Phillips, E. Wood, R. Orr, J. Goodall, T. Stoddart, and J. Davies; hon. sec., Mr W. Downie. The attractive programme arranged by the B.Y.C. for their seventh annual regatta was unfortunately detracted from, as far as the public were concerned, by the unpropitious weather for outdoor amusements. Given fine weather the club's, regattas are yearly patronised by a few thousand people, but the occasional heavy showers of rain and the gloomy clouds reduced the attendance on View Point to as many hundreds. The club had two steamers running in its service through the afternoon for the convenience of members, ladies, and friends. On one steamer the gloomy weather offered a grand excuse for a good supply of grog and "prog," which fortified many of the visitors so well as to keep a good representative attendance aboard. The wind was blowing hard from the south-west, and the waters of our far-famed lake were lashed almost into foam, and caused several accidents to skiffs and yachts. The spectators of the various races had plenty of sport to occupy their attention, and on the whole everything passed off in the most enjoyable manner. The commodore (Mr E. Morey) and his officers managed things admirably, and the hon. secretary, judge, and starters were, as usual, to the fore in promoting the enjoyment of the occasion. Their ranks were reinforced by the presence of Captain Heard, of the Albert Park Yacht Club, whose onerous duties as umpire gave cordial satisfaction in their performance. The programme embraced a skiff race, won by Mr W. Longwell's Agnes; the First Class Yacht Race, won by Mr W. Bailey's Viola; and a Second Class Yacht Race, won by Commodore Morey's Ballarat. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article201121396 |title=BALLARAT YACHT CLUB. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=280 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 November 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise acts as starter for Ballarat Yacht Club's competition for members of the knights of the scissor and paste (the press)
<blockquote>'''SPORTING NEWS. YACHTING.''' The knights of the scissor and paste had an outing at Lake Wendouree on Saturday afternoon through the courtesy of the Ballarat Yacht Club, and the liberality of Mr John Murray, who presented a trophy for competition among representatives of the Press. The yachts entered were — The Flying Scud, Mr Andrew Berry, Star; the Reporter, Mr J. Nash, Argus; the Grand Flaneur, Mr John Murray, Australasian; the Darlie Bay, Mr W. Downie, Evening Post; the Viola, Mr G. B. Hogg, Courier; the Pinafore, Mr Admans, Devon Herald, Tasmania; and Ballarat, Mr R. B. Williams, Herald. Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', who acted as starter, having marshalled the boats, sent them off to a southerly breeze, a good start being effected. The Viola soon forged ahead, and was first around Brace’s buoy, followed by the Reporter, Flying Scud, Darlie Bay, Grand Flaneur, Pinafore, with the Ballarat making slow progress astern. The Viola kept up her reputation of the previous day, when she won the First-class Yacht Race, and was the leading boat from start to finish. The Reporter sailed well, and the Scud several times attempted the cutting-out business, but her efforts were suppressed by the little boat. After the first round the Darlie Bay had the Scud well in hand, and up till the last round remained in the third place. Meanwhile the Scud and Grand Flaneur were having splendid hand to hand contests, and towards the finish of the third round the Grand Flaneur was ahead. However, in weathering the north-east buoy, she was in trouble, and let the Scud in again for fourth position, which she then kept till the finish. The adage of "diamond cut diamond" was severely felt by the Reporter in the last round at the south-east buoy. In endeavouring to cut out the Viola the Reporter allowed the Darlie Bay a chance to take the second leading position, which she did to a nicety. The yachts passed the post as follows:— Viola, 1 hr. 39 min. 30 sec., 1; Darlie Bay, 1 hr. 40 min, 49 secs., 2; Reporter, 1 hr. 41 min. 30 secs., 3; Flying Scud, 4; Grand Flaneur, 5; Pinafore, 6. The Ballarat, realising the mighty impress of defeat, retired at the conclusion of the third round. Subsequently the health of the winners was drunk, and the trophy handed over at Gill's hotel. The weather in the afternoon was not oppressive, and the day's sport will be imprinted on the minds of both victor and vanquished as most enjoyable.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article201121466 |title=SPORTING NEWS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=281 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=24 November 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Anniversary of Eureka Stockade celebrated by a visit to the site of the memorial under construction
<blockquote>'''THE EUREKA STOCKADE MEMORIAL.''' The anniversary of the Eureka Stockade yesterday was commemorated by an informal visit of inspection to the scene of the stirring strife, where the memorial in course of construction serves to mark the spot on which the diggers fell in their struggle against the tyranny prevailing in the goldfields 30 years ago. The memorial so far consists of two turrets of solid masonry built upon a mound of earth. The second turret is approached by a flight of steps and from that coign of vantage the whole of Ballarat can be seen by the observer, spreading out in a beautiful panorama. A large stone is placed in the centre of the second turret, upon which will be raised a splendid monolith, probably of the Grampian freestone. At the angles of the first turret provision has been made for the reception of ordnance donated by the Government, and which will be placed in position by Major Snee and a picked party of men. Many other improvements will be effected upon the memorial, and the Eastern council intends to improve the locality by planting a reserve around the erection. The weather yesterday afternoon was anything but propitious for the visit, as at the place the party were delayed by the rain and pelted by hail, which unseasonable circumstance induced numberless old identities to crack jokes about the storming of the stockade 30 years ago. Among the visitors were the Mayors of the City and Town, Crs Roff, Messrs C. Dyte, Ryan, W. Irwin, H. Josephs, '''W. P. Bechervaise''', and others. Mr Dyte, who was the spokesman of the occasion, said the visit was merely informal, and when the memorial, was completed official notice would be given of a celebration. The assemblage were present that day in order to commemorate the anniversary of the Stockade. Out of respect he would ask them to uncover to the memory of the dead. In silence the congregated people obeyed. Cheers were then given for the Mayor of the City (Mr A. T. Morrison), the secretary for the committee; for the Mayor of the Town (Mr Thomas Walker), and for the engineer (Mr H. A. King), under whose superintendence the work has so far been satisfactorily carried out. The proceedings then terminated.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207630048 |title=THE EUBEKA STOCKADE MEMORIAL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXIX, |issue=290 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 December 1884 |accessdate=1 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise included in list of Victorian Public Servants
<blockquote>'''THE PUBLIC SERVICE. CLASSIFICATION OF WORK.''' We publish today the return prepared by the Public Service Board, showing the classification of the work of the officers in the public service. The return is compiled pursuant to the provisions of section 25 of the Public Service Act 1883, and gives the names of all the persons employed in the service on 31st December, 1884 (exclusive of teachers in the Education department, and, of course, of the railway employes, who come under another act), together with the branches in which they are engaged, their ages last birthday, their present salaries, and the new classification of their work. It may be explained that section 2 of the act repeals the old Civil Service Act (No. 160) except as to all things done under it, and the privileges and rights of all persons who were subject to its provisions. In every other respect such persons are subject to the provisions of the present Public Service Act (No 773). Section 9 of the latter act divides the public service into four divisions, namely, the "first division," the "professional division," the "clerical division," and the "non-clerical division." The offices in the first division are specified in the first schedule to the act. They are 12 in number, being chiefly the positions of heads of departments. Section 12 provides that the professional division shall include all persons holding offices requiring some skill usually acquired only in some profession or other pursuit, different from that required in the clerical or non-clerical division, and also the persons holding the offices of inspector general, assistant inspector-general, inspectors, and teachers in the Education department. Section 13 includes in the clerical division officers performing clerical duties. By the succeeding section, the clerical division is divided into five classes, namely, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. Section 15 includes in the non-clerical division a great variety of officers, and all who do not come under the other divisions of the public service. The next sections relate to salaries. The officers in the first division are to be paid such salaries as may be provided in the annual appropriation act. In the professional and non-clerical divisions the officers are to be paid salaries or wages in accordance with a fixed amount or scale, determinable by regulation. With regard to the professional division, regulations were issued on January 12, and published in The Argus on January 13 specifying the minimum and maximum emoluments attaching each office, and the scale of increments. As to the non-clerical division, similar regulations were issued in a supplement to the Government Gazette last Saturday. In the clerical division, each of the five classes is to have the minimum and maximum salary and the annual increment thereto mentioned in the second schedule. The second schedule is as follows:— Class. Minimum (£). Maximum (£). Increment. 1st 610 750 Seven annual increments of £20 each 2nd 500 600 Five annual increments of £20 each 3rd 360 450 Six annual increments of £15 each 4th 210 350 Nine annual increments of £10 each, with two further increments of £25 each for long service, at intervals of five years, subject to recommendation of permanent head and board 5th # 200 £10 per annum up to £100, and £20 per annum up to £200. # The entrance at age of 19 years or upwards £80, and £10 less for every year below 19 years of age. The Governor in Council may, upon the recommendation of the board, notwithstanding anything contained in the act, fix the amount of salary to be paid to an officer at any sum within the maximum and minimum limits of the class of such officer, and such sum shall be the salary attached to each officer without annual increment. The right to receive an increment is to depend "upon good and diligent conduct," and if, in the opinion of the permanent head, the officer is not entitled thereto, he may issue an order to deprive such officer of the increment, the officer having the right to appeal to the board. If the board finds that any officer is in the receipt of a greater salary than the maximum of the class assigned to his work by the board, such person shall be transferred as soon as possible to some other branch or department in which he can be employed upon work equivalent to the amount of his salary. If such person be ???? assiued, and be found unfit for such higher work, his salary shall be reduced to the maximum of the class to which such lower office shall have been assigned, but he is to receive compensation for the reduction. No officer classified under the old act No. 160 is to have his salary reduced because of the new classification of work. On these points, however, we refer our readers to the board's note at the end of the return. The following classes of officers are excluded from the operation of the act:— All overseers, timekeepers, and labourers (Water Supply, Melbourne); All employes in connexion with diamond drills.; All employes on the experimental farm. All employes in the state nurseries. All employes in eradication of vine disease. All employes in connexion with rabbit extermination. All pupil surveyors and draftsmen, and apprentices. All labourers in survey parties, and boatmen employed by marine surveyor. '''LIST OF CIVIL SERVANTS.'''

Bechervaise's daughter Charlotte Alice Bechervaise competes in the Ballarat Eisteddfod
<blockquote>'''THE EISTEDDFOD.''' The annual Eisteddfod held in connection with the celebration of St. David's Day by the Welsh residents of Ballarat and district, was commenced last evening, at the Mechanics' Institute, and so far promises to be quite as successful as any of its predecessors. The celebration has now become an annual event which is looked forward to with the greatest interest, not by those resident in our own neighborhood alone, but by the Cymri of all parts of the colony. The love of their fatherland is strong among the sons of Cambria, and their love of music, more especially vocal music, is deeply engrained in the national spirit. This is markedly shown by the revival, even in this antipodean land, of an institution which in other days — seen dimly through the mist of centuries past — nurtured and strengthened that patriotic feeling. The custom may have changed, perhaps, with the natural change of circumstances and surroundings. In some respects it is not the same as of old. Yet the ends sought and being achieved by the Ballarat Eisteddfodan are as noble and as praiseworthy as were those of the ancient assemblies of the Cymric bards at Dynevor, at Mathrafal, at Aberffraw, or at Caerwys. The Ballarat Eisteddfodan have done much to encourage the study of music in the district. A healthy spirit of intellectual competition has been fostered, and music, Among the gifts that God has sent One of the most magnificent, has reached among us a higher standard than it otherwise would have done. The Welsh people certainly have chosen a most rational way of celebrating the memory of their patron saint and one which leaves a more lasting trace on the community than the celebrations of the anniversaries of patron saints whom other nations in different ways delight to honor. Nor is the influence of the Eisteddfod confined to the Welsh people alone. A modern bard has sung, "Music is the universal language of mankind," and musicians of every nationality may enter the lists. From year to year increased success has crowned the efforts of the committee of management of the local festival, and its importance has gone on extending with every successive recurrence. Within the past two or three years the number of competitors has necessitated two days being occupied by the adjudicator, and the work of judging has been commenced this year two or three days in advance of St. David's Day. The total number of entries received is about 160, while some 200 individual competitors will take part. But of those who inaugurated the Ballarat Eisteddfod, and who have taken a prominent part in every gathering since, one has been taken away from us by death within the past year — the late Cr Robert Lewis, president. The vacant chair last evening, which to day will be draped in black, must have brought this forcibly to the minds of many who missed his genial face. The adjudication was commenced last evening, when the number of competitors in each of the sections was reduced to three, but the final and principal awards will be made today. There was a very good attendance, and the competitors were frequently applauded. The adjudicators were Dr Torrance and Mr John Robson. Mr D. H. Evans, of Caulfield, is the judge of the Welsh poems "Elegy on Dr Thomas," and Mr David Thomas of the Welsh epitaphs on the late Mr R. Lewis. The competition will commence this morning at half-past 9 o'clock, when Mr Llewellyn Thomas will play a harp solo. Mr J. B. Humffray will deliver an address in the afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the concert in which the successful competitors will appear will commence at 8 o'clock. Mr Philip Jones will act as conductor, and Messrs Coutts and Herbert as accompanists. The following were the competitors examined last evening:— Pianoforte solo, "Rondo in E Flat."— Amy Goodshaw, Marian Benson, Lilian Eyres, May Wilson, Nellie Harris, Amy Herbert, Ada Ruddock, P. E. Fraser, C. James, Nina Machefer, C. Owen. Song, "Auntie."— Competitors — Marian Bradshaw, Mary Evans, Lena Gude, Annie Thomas, Margaret A.

Bechervaise is a course judge, treasurer and host on the official steamer for Ballarat Regatta (Electric Telegraph team from Melbourne in attendance)
<blockquote>'''SPORTING NEWS. BALLARAT ANNUAL REGATTA.''' Post judges — Messrs J. Holding, F. M. Claxton, and M. L. Matthews. Course judges — Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and Bennett. Starter — Mr W. Pobjoy. Hon. Treas., Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise'''. Committee — Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''' (chairman), Captain Crampton, Messrs A. Gibbs, A. Hollander, J. Rennie, J. Fitzgerald, A. McNaughton, R. Toy, Captain Grant, Messrs A. Lester, W. Hartley, J. W. Shevill, C. G. Aikins, E. Williams, Captain Dawson, Messrs W. and P. Cazaly, Hare, Mitchell, and Liddiard, Commodore E. Morey, Vice-Commodore W. Bailey, Capt. T. Bailey, Messrs W. Downie, T. Mann, G. Hathorn. The Ballarat annual regatta came off yesterday afternoon with the favourable conditions of good management and well-contested events, but with drawbacks as regarded the weather. Shortly after 2 o'clock a Scotch mist commenced, and pursued its even tenor till the last race. Notwithstanding the wind and rain, however, View Point and other coigns of vantage were held by fully 3000 spectators, whose ardour in the sport was seemingly not damped by the long shower. The committee may be congratulated for the success of its arrangements for the regatta. The Lady of the Lake steamer was secured for the use of the umpires (Messrs '''Bechervaise''' Pyne Bennett) and other officials. Some steamers were chartered by spectators, to view the contest, and all were fairly managed, with the exception of the Ballarat, which was very often in the way on the course, and collided once, with the umpires' steamer, to the fright of ladies on board both boats. The Melbourne pulled off the Maiden Four in clinkers. The Wendouree clubs' representatives won the two principal events of the day, principally owing to the fine abilities of the stroke, W. Cazaly. They secured a leg-in for the Sunbury Challenge Cup by an excellent win, and beat the favorite Williamstown crew in the Senior Eight race. The City came second in the latter event, and were just beaten on the post. The Ballarat City have two legs in the Sunbury Cup, the Ballarat two, the Victoria one, and the Wendouree one. The Ballarat City carried off the Maiden Eight and the Junior Sculls in fine style. In the former event the Electric Telegraph showed up well, but one of their men, catching a crab, spoilt the little show they had 100 yards off the post. The first-class yacht race was postponed till this afternoon. Mr W. Pobjoy deserves great credit for his efforts in starting the crews, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' was a host in himself on board the umpire's boat. Colonel Sleep did not turn up to act as time-keeper, consequently no official times were taken. The programme was as follows:—<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207633734 |title=SPORTING DEWS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=50 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=28 February 1885 |accessdate=2 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Telegraphy examiners change the examination assessment rules at the last minute and all 28 examinees fail
<blockquote>'''NEWS AND NOTES.''' . . . An almost unprecedented occurrence in connection with the examinations at the School of Mines has taken place during the past week, when, out of some 28 candidates examined in telegraphy, not one passed. The examiners, Messrs George Smibert and H. W. Jenvey, in their report, which was read at the quarterly meeting of the council yesterday, expressed surprise at the result, which they attributed to the fact that the good operators, as a rule, neglected the theoretical part, and that the best theorists were not sufficiently advanced in operating. A report from Mr W. D. Campbell, the lecturer at the School, was also submitted. Mr Campbell stated that the principal reason for the failures was a new rule which was introduced by the examiners within a week of the examinations, to the effect that students would be required to obtain at least 35 out of a possible 50 marks for sending, and the same number for receiving. As the council considered the School had been very unfairly dealt with, it was decided to request the examiners to go over the papers again and grant certificates according to the old rule, the new rule to come into force at the next examination.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207634970 |title=NEWS AND NOTES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=73 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=27 March 1885 |accessdate=2 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise presents prizes at informal competition between Ballarat Yacht Club and visiting Queenscliff fishermen
<blockquote>'''YACHTING AT WENDOUREE.''' Friday being the occasion of the Queenscliff fishermen's picnic to Ballarat with their families and friends, it was decided by Captain Thomas Bailey and a few of the B.Y.C. committee to get up a sailing match for the men of "the cliff." The arrangements were carried through successfully, and gave immense pleasure and satisfaction to our visitors, who were kindly entertained by Mrs. Thomas Bailey at her residence, Wendouree. The draw for yachts and places having been got through, the following picked up their moorings:— Flying Scud, Mr. H. Hoppen; Viola, Mr. W. Todd; Darlie Bay, Mr. J. Morrison; Ballarat, Mr. O. Sievers; Pinafore, Mr. Frank Waith; Grand Flaneur, Mr. E. Todd. The order of the day was port tack to Garden Island buoy, three times round the sailing course, leaving all beacons on the port hand. There was a fine breeze from the eastward, and the fleet got away to a splendid start. The sight as they lay at their buoys, with mainsails set and headsails down, was very pretty; the club's steamer was filled with visitors from the seaboard, and Commodore Morey, with Vice-president B. Hepburn and the B.Y.C. people, did all they could to make things agreeable; Mr. Hepburn, with his well-known generosity, making a present to the young people to assist them in enjoying themselves. After the run up to the Garden buoy it was rounded as follows:— Scud, Flaneur, Pinafore, Darlie, Ballarat, Viola, then a stretch southward to clear Brace's, after which it was "keep her full and by, my hearty." Two or three tacks to Edwards's buoy and away to the north-east beacon, and the first round was completed. In the second round, the Darlie had a good lead, but was cut out by the Scud at Taylor's buoy, and, after a few changes, they came in — Flying Scud, 1; Viola, 2; Darlie Bay, 3. Ballarat, Pinafore, and Flaneur, in a "nice procession," followed up. Time of winner, 1h. 20m. An adjournment was then made to the club rooms, where the prizes were presented by Mr. '''Bechervaise''' and the etceteras duly attended to. The yachts were capitally handled by the "fishers of the sea," and at the wind-up they expressed their hearty thanks to Mr. Tom Bailey, the B.Y.C. and all concerned, for their afternoon's "fly around."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article138096625 |title=YACHTING AT WENDOUREE. |newspaper=[[The Australasian]] |volume=XXXVIII, |issue=992 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 April 1885 |accessdate=2 December 2020 |page=20 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise chairs a meeting to assist a local businessman impacted by fire
<blockquote>An influential meeting of citizens was held last night at Craig's hotel, for the purpose of considering the case of Mr Koeneman, whose powder factory was destroyed by fire last week. Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''' was voted to the chair. Extracts taken from Mr Koeneman's account books were read, and they showed that the fire in question had suddenly nipped in the bud a rising pro-mising local industry, which was just begin-ning to give handsome profits. Letters were read from Sandhurst mining managers, stating that the Ballarat powder was in that city preferred to the imported article. The meeting sympathised with Mr Koeneman in his misfortune, and eventually the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to form a company, or otherwise assist Mr Koeneman:— Messrs James Oddie, J.P., Ham, J.P., '''Bechervaise''', Serjeant, J.P., Morey, Barton, G.

Bechervaise attends annual meeting of Electric Telegraph Rowing Club and is elected a vice-president again
<blockquote>'''ROWING NOTES. BY VISOR.''' The fifth annual meeting of the Electric Telegraph Rowing Club was held at the John Bull Tavern on Saturday last. The report stated that, although the paid-up list included but 40 members during the season 1884-5, more club races had been rowed and general activity shown than in any previous year. The receipts of the treasurer amounted to £175 4s., and the expenditure to £153 8s. 6d., leaving a credit balance of £21 15s. 7d. The liabilities reached £47, whilst the assets came to £174 3s. 7d., so that altogether the club is in a very fair way. The office-bearers elected for the ensuing season are:— President, Mr. T. R. James; vice-presidents, Messrs. '''Bechervaise''', Caldwell, Gray, and J. F. Hayes; captain, F. O. Johnston; vice-captain, T. Howard; hon. treasurer, R. G. Beazley; hon. secretary, C. R. L.

Bechervaise attends lecture at School of Mines by Henry Sutton on "The transmission of electric force."
<blockquote>Mr H. Sutton delivered a lecture last night at the School of Mines, in connection with the Ironworkers' Association, on "The transmission of electric force." The chair was taken by Mr Jas. Oddie, vice-president of the School of Mines, and there was a fair attendance of the public, a few ladies being amongst the number present. Mr Sutton gave an interesting description of the generation of the force, statically and dynamically, which he illustrated by means of experiments with electro magnets, magneto-electric machines, and galvanometers. He explained Ohm's law showing how the necessary motive power was arrived at for transmitting force through any circle so as to obtain sufficient power to work any instrument, whether a telegraphic or a sewing machine, illustrating his remarks by a diagram on a blackboard. He wound up a most interesting and attractive lecture by an experiment in condensing fumes, or smoke, according to the latest discovery by Professor Lodge. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer, on the motion of Mr '''Bechervaise''', seconded by Mr Lonie, supported by the Rev. T. Williams, of Sebastopol, all of whom spoke in terms of praise of the manner in which Mr Sutton had handled the subject. The lecturer having returned thanks, and promised that on the occasion of his next lecture he would condense a roomful of smoke, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article203310659 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=192 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=15 August 1885 |accessdate=5 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Among other matters it was decided to leave the arrangements for Thursday afternoon in the hands of the commodore and Messrs '''Bechervaise''', Gale, and Downie; these will include the securing of two steamboats, and, if possible, a brass band. It was also decided to invite the presence of the local Parliamentary representatives, the council of the School of Mines, the members of the City and Town Councils, the chairman of the Water Commission, the officers of the three rowing clubs, &c. The yacht, skiff, and various sailing boat-owners are to be requested to have all craft under canvas and moored in line by half-past 3 o'clock on Thursday next, when instructions will be given as to the order to be observed.

His Excellency formally opened the season of the Ballarat Yacht Club after the ceremony at the museum. The vice regal party were received by the officers of the club, and after being conducted on board the steamer, were welcomed to Ballarat by Mr '''Bechervaise'''. The fleet was moored off View Point, and His Excellency took his stand abaft the paddle-boxes. Ringing cheers were given for the Queen and His Excellency and Lady Loch.

Neighbouring post and telegraph master appeals against his classification
<blockquote>In speaking in support of his appeal against his classification to the Public Service Commissioners yesterday, Mr W. H. Williams, post and telegraph master at Creswick, was rather "rough" on the Department with which he is connected. He remarked that in connection with the New Australasian disaster, the office of which he had charge had done more work of the sort than had ever been performed in any office in the colonies. He had asked for consideration for this, and had received a few paltry pounds for over-time. It seemed as though the more they did the less they were thought of for it. Had the work been done in New Zealand a handsome bonus would have been paid. If he had sent for three extra telegraph operators, and had three extra ones put on at Melbourne, more would have been thought of it, but because the local officers had done all the work the department had not taken that (snapping his finger) notice of it.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206303259 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=257 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=30 October 1885 |accessdate=12 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Further to previous, Bechervaise makes clear that one of his men handled the majority of the traffic following the Creswick mining disaster
<blockquote>In reference to the statement made by Mr Williams, postmaster, at Creswick, as to the work done solely by his staff during the Creswick disaster, we have it on good authority that Mr '''Bechervaise''' sent an operator from Ballarat, who took his own instruments with him, split the Sandhurst special line himself, ran the instruments in circuit, and was in full work until the press of business on the day the men were found. The Ballarat man sent fully 20,000 words out of the 33,000 sent altogether. The Ballarat man only got the same recognition as the others, but considers he only did his duty, and did not expect anything. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206303276 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=258 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=31 October 1885 |accessdate=12 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''THE M.I.A. UNION CONCERT.''' A concert by the successful competitors in the M.I.A. Union competitions just passed, was given in the Mechanics' Institute last evening. There was a large attendance, and the elocutionists and singers were frequently applauded during the evening. The chair was occupied by Mr G. C. Robinson, president of the union, and there was also present Dr Rose, M.L.A., president of the Melbourne Union; the Hon. James Campbell, Postmaster-General; Messrs Fincham and Baker, M's.L.A., Messrs John Robson, W. Little, '''Bechervaise''', and other gentlemen. The prizes won at the competitions were presented to the successful competitors by Dr Rose, who, before doing so, made a few remarks to the audience. He congratulated the union on the success they had achieved. They in Melbourne had done some good work with their union within the past two years. They had adopted the rules almost in globo of the Ballarat Union, and though they called the union the Victorian Improvement Associations' Union they were following in the footsteps of Ballarat. The speaker thought the youth of the colony, and consequently of Ballarat, would bear most favorable comparison as regards intellectual power with that of England, or any of the older countries. Too much attention was, perhaps, paid to athletics here, to the development of the physical powers, and the more animal portion of the man. They should strive to rather check this tendency, and to cultivate the intellectual faculties, which were God's best gift to man. The speaker concluded amidst loud and continued applause. He then proceeded to distribute the awards, addressing a few words of gratulation and encouragement to further effort to each of the prize-takers as they came forward. Mr R. Hain, in a few appropriate remarks, proposed a vote of thanks to the judges for the impartial manner in which they had performed their duties during the competition. The motion was seconded by the Hon. James Campbell, and carried with acclamation. Mr John Robson responded on behalf of the judges, stating that they had striven to fulfil in their best possible manner the arduous duties of deciding between the merits of the numerous competitors. A hearty vote of thanks was also passed to Dr Rose, on the motion of Mr G. R. Fincham, seconded by Mr Baker. The recitals by successful competitors will be continued during the week.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206303634 |title=THE M.I.A.

Mr Pritchard leaves here amidst general regret. There are few young men who occupy so high a position in public esteem. Although very young, his public life has been very creditable. He is an ex-president of the South street Y.M.G.D.S., and one of their most prominent members. The gap he leaves in that society will be hard to fill. He has been vice-president of the A.N.A. Last year, at the M.I.A. Union, he carried off the champion prize, and this year was only five points behind the winner. In spite of his youth the first decentralisation meeting elected him a vice-president.

Bechervaise again starter for Ballarat Yacht Club regatta

Griffiths, R. Orr, J. Hickman, J. Phillips, J. Ferguson, T. Gill, E. Williams, A. J. E. Morey, R. Hammond, C. Stewart, Wm. Downie (hon. sec.). The magnificent weather on Saturday contributed to make the Eighth Annual Regatta of the Ballarat Yacht Club one of the most successful yet held at Lake Wendouree, and a very pleasant day's sport was experienced. To the mere uninterested observer there is nothing exhilarating in the spectacle of a number of yachts crawling slowly over the surface of the water on a breezeless, sultry day, like the barks of so many becalmed ancient mariners. On former regatta days the club has often been unfortunate in this respect. On Saturday, however, the most favorable weather conditions prevailed. Than the fresh easterly breeze which blew on Saturday, and roughened the surface of the lake and gently fanned the faces of those who watched the progress of events from View Point or from the decks of the steamers, nothing better could have been anticipated. The First-class Yacht Race — the principal event on the programme — promised to afford an excellent spectacle as the boats got away to a good start and spread their canvas to the breeze. Immediate changes of position took place in the first round, but the occurrence of a series of accidents rather took away from the interest in the latter portion of the race. The Pinafore carried away her throat halliards early in the day, and dropped from third to last place. The damage was repaired and she kept on and succeeded in again running up third, when in rounding Brace’s buoy she fouled her jib and foundered. The crew escaped with a slight wetting, and were soon picked up. The Darlie Bay also carried away her bobstay in the second round, at a time when she held a good position just in the wake of the first boat, the Ballarat. She continued in the race under the disadvantage of having to keep a man perched in the end of her bowspirit. The race was finally won by the Ballarat, which finished a long way ahead of the other competitors. The skiff race was won by Mr C. C. Shoppee's Lord Nelson, Miss McVitty's Reform being second, and Mrs Alex. Monsborough's Blue Ribbon third. The minor events — the tub-race, seahorse race and walking the greasy pole — the latter of which might be likened to the feat of "walking the plank," the plank being represented by a well-greased pole from which the competitors dropped in turn into a good depth of water — furnished plenty of amusement to the spectators. After the conclusion of the programme, an adjournment was made to the club-room at Mr T. Gill's Lake View hotel, when the health of Captain Heard, the umpire, was proposed by Vice-commodore W. Bailey. Captain Heard, in reply, said he felt assured that the yachts on the lake would carry off worthy honors if sent to Melbourne or Sydney waters. The health of "The Officers of the Club" was also proposed by Mr '''Bechervaise''', and responded to by Vice-Commodore Bailey. The success of the regatta was to a considerable extent due to the efforts of Messrs Downie, Gale, '''Bechervaise''', Holmes, J. Phillips, and other members of committee, who assisted in carrying out the various arrangements. The following are the results of the various events:— . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206305011 |title=SPORTING NEWS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=296 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 December 1885 |accessdate=3 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise as vice-president Ballarat City Rowing Club acts as starter in competitions
<blockquote>'''AQUATICS.''' The Ballarat City Rowing Club continued their races for the scratch fours on Tuesday evening, when Byrne's crew met Wheatland's for the third heats, and after a good struggle the latter crew proved its superiority, and won rather comfortably at the finish. The concluding heat was rowed last night, and a large muster of rowing men, officers and members of the club, assembled at the boat-house to witness the event between Wheat-land's and Kitchen's crews. Mr Vice-president '''Bechervaise''', in an eight-oared manned boat of the club was rowed up to the starting-point, and acted as starter. Great excitement and speculation prevailed, as the contesting crews were known to have been well trained for the event. A capital start was effected, and a real struggle ensued, each member of the crews doing his utmost for supremacy. In nearing the winning post the cheers of the crowd at View Point and in the many plea-sure boats around the course were very ex-citing, and every inch was being gallantly fought, Kitchen's crew just passed the judge's post barely half a length the winners, amidst enthusiastic cheering, and they are the winners of the trophies. The winning crew are J. Kitchen (stroke), J. Murphy (3), W. Dawson (2), C. Bennett (bow).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206305107 |title=AQUATICS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=299 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 December 1885 |accessdate=3 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise attends annual exhibition and distribution of prizes for Loretto Convent Boarding school
<blockquote>'''LORETTO CONVENT.''' The annual exhibition and distribution of prizes in connection with the Loretto Convent Boarding school, Wendouree, took place on Thursday, 17th inst., in the large room of the convent, which was tastefully decorated with wreaths of evergreens for the occasion. The Right Rev. Dr Moore, Bishop of Ballarat, presided. The following clergymen were also present — Revs. Professor Delaney (All Hallow's College, Dublin), P. Corcoran (Smythesdale), J. O'Brien (Clunes), G. Doyle, T. O'Neill, J. Campion, J. F. Rogers, J. J. Clearey, and D. Devane; besides a large number of ladies and gentlemen, amongst whom we noticed Rev. Br. Kennedy (Christian Brothers), Lieut.-Col. Sleep, D. Brophy, J.P., and Mrs Brophy, Mr and Mrs Buckley (Melbourne), Mr and Mrs Michael Murnane (Melbourne), Mrs James Dynon (Melbourne), Miss Bella Guerin, M.A., Mr G. G. Morton and Mrs Morton (Labona), Mr Bechervaise, Mr J. J. Fitzgerald, J.P., and Mrs Fitzgerald, Mr and Mrs McDonald (Ararat), Mr T. Colgan and Mrs Colgan, Mrs Mann and Miss Moloney, Mrs Tobin (Melbourne), Mrs Tobin (Ararat), the Misses Heffernan (Sandhurst), Mr and Mrs Kennedy (South Australia), Mr T. J. Lamble, Mr McDonald (Melbourne), and Mr Newton. The proceedings commenced by the pupils reading an address to the bishop, after which the following programme, consisting of vocal and instrumental music and recitations, was gone through. Every number was rendered so admirably that it would be invidious to mention any one in particular; suffice it to say that it was the opinion of those present that the musical and literary exhibition given by the pupils could not be surpassed in any of the Australian colonies. Between the first and second part the bishop presented a number of handsome prizes to the young ladies who had been awarded them. At the conclusion of the programme his lordship, after presenting a number of beautiful prizes to the junior classes, rose and said:— "My dear children, the beautiful address which you have read gives me much pleasure, <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206305347 |title=LORETTO CONVENT. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXX, |issue=303 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 December 1885 |accessdate=3 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Controversy for Ballarat Hospital management, Bechervaise acts as scrutineer for ballot & speaks to meeting
<blockquote>The annual meeting of governors of and subscribers to the Hospital was held last evening in the Mechanics' Institute. Mr A. Hunter was declared elected president for the ensuing year unopposed, as were also Messrs A. White and D. Brophy vice-presidents, Mr W. Eyres treasurer, and Mr Spillman auditor. The ballot for the contested offices, the nominations for which were published in yesterday's issue, will open today at 12 noon at the Mechanics' Institute, and will remain open until 7.30 p.m. The time of closing has been extended in order to allow subscribers coming in by the evening train from Creswick and other places an opportunity of recording their votes. Messrs Spillman and '''Bechervaise''' will act as scrutineers, and the results of the election will be made known tonight as soon as the ballot has been made up. It need scarcely be said that the present election, for many reasons, is exciting intense interest, and no doubt a very large number of votes will be polled. Matters passed off very quietly at the annual meeting of the Hospital last evening, and very little was said concerning the recent differences between the committee and the honorary professional staff. At the conclusion of the ordinary business Dr McConnochie, as a member of the profession unconnected with the institution, made a few remarks on the subject. Since coming to Ballarat he had noticed, through the columns of the papers and otherwise, that there had been certain little differences in Hospital affairs, and he had thought of a plan by which these differences might be at least mitigated, perhaps removed. The proposal, to speak briefly, was that it was desirable in the interests of the institution that the members of the honorary medical and surgical staff should retire from the committee of management and form themselves into a medical committee. He could point to a number of large hospitals in London and various other places where this practice was followed, and he was not aware of any large hospitals where the medical men were on the general committee. The medical gentlemen would consult their own dignity and the dignity of the Hospital by giving in their adherence to such a proposal. If the president would take a motion, he would move one. Mr '''Bechervaise''' — "What position would the resident surgeon occupy in relation to this committee?" The president, Mr Hunter, said he thought that meeting could not deal with a motion of such a kind. It interfered with the rules of the institution, and consequently could only be carried at a special meeting convened for the purpose, or at an annual meeting to which notice had been given. Mr George Smith thought Dr McConnochie deserved their hearty thanks for the suggestion. At the meeting of the committee on the previous evening, he (the speaker) had given notice of a motion for a revision of the rules. The majority of the old committee believed in such a revision, and the committee, after having revised them, would submit them to a meeting of the subscribers for adoption. Dr Jakins said he had some time back brought before the committee a motion in effect the same as Dr McConnochie's proposal, but the committee had rejected it. At this stage the matter dropped, and with a vote of thanks to the chair, the proceedings terminated.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206306201 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=12 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=15 January 1886 |accessdate=3 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise's son Walter Reed Bechervaise receives employment for Broken Hill Pty., Ltd., after education at School of Mines
<blockquote>As instancing the value of the practical education bestowed by the Ballarat School of Mines, it may be mentioned that during the past week, the registrar, Mr Berry, received a letter from the manager of the Broken Hill Proprietary Company, Limited, the owners of a number of claims at Silverton, requesting him to recommend one or two competent assayers. The desired information was communicated, with the result that Mr '''Walter R. Bechervaise''', son of the local postmaster, was at once engaged at a salary of £250 per annum. Mr '''Bechervaise''' has been a student of the School for about two years and a half, during which he has obtained high honors.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206306589 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=20 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=25 January 1886 |accessdate=5 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise vice-chairs a farewell to captain of the Ballarat City Rowing Club
<blockquote>The officers and members of the Ballarat City Rowing Club met last night at the committee rooms, Brophy's hotel, for the purpose of saying farewell to their captain, Mr Crampton, who is about to remove to Melbourne. Advantage was taken of the occasion to present the well-known and successful oarsman with a diamond locket, valued at 12 guineas, and an illuminated address prepared by Mr Lansley. Mr D. Brophy, J.P., presided, and the vice-chairs were occupied by Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and E. Williams. There was a large attendance of rowing men representing the three clubs, as well as official visitors from the Ballarat Yacht Club. The illuminated address, which was couched in eulogistic terms (speaking of Mr Crampton as a worthy citizen and a hearty supporter of rowing), was handed over to the recipient amidst applause. The various speakers alluded in high terms to the valuable assistance Mr Crampton had given aquatics in Ballarat, and complimentary reference was made to his career as a rowing man at regattas. Regret was expressed at his departure from Ballarat, but this feeling was softened by the thoughts that in proceeding to the metropolis he was receiving promotion in the Government department in which he was engaged. On the whole a very pleasant evening was spent, and the company separated after the usual hand-shaking and wishing Mr Crampton increased prosperity in his new sphere. Mr Newton, the proprietor of Brophy's hotel, gave every satisfaction as caterer.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206307008 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=30 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=5 February 1886 |accessdate=15 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Awards evening for Ballarat Swimming Club (Ladies), Bechervaise prominent as President and speaker
<blockquote>The prizes won at the recent ladies' swimming matches under the auspices of the Ballarat Swimming Club, were distributed to the successful competitors last evening at the Mechanics Institute. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present at the distribution, including the mayor of the city, and a good many prominent members of the club. Mr '''Bechervaise''' (president) occupied the chair, and the prizes were distributed as announced by the city mayoress (Mrs Salter). The medal presented by Lieutenant-Colonel Smith for the best all-round swimmer was awarded to Miss Isabella Tucker. After the distribution the mayoress proposed, and Miss Sheedy seconded a vote of thanks to the gentlemen who had assisted in the arrangements for the matches. Mr '''Bechervaise''', in returning thanks, said the matches had been a success from beginning to end. They had been initiated by Mr W. N. Lansley, from whom the idea came, and who was the chief worker throughout. Mr Lansley had collected all the funds, and deserved the whole of the credit. He (Mr '''Bechervaise''') thought, however, that they must make the fees a little higher in order to make the thing more self-supporting. Mr Lansley said he was pleased that the matches had been such a success, and if they recognised the efforts of himself and the other gentlemen they were grateful. It only required pluck and energy to have the matches carried out annually and successfully. He thought it was high time that the natives of Australia should show a little more interest in the club, instead of leaving it to the older ones. Messrs Ince, Miller, Downie, and Perkins also returned thanks. The mayor made a few remarks congratulating them on the success of the matches. He had been present for a short time at the matches, and was pleased with the way in which they were carried out. The swimming certainly reflected great credit on the instructors, and they have much to be congratulated on in this matter. He thought they might look forward to even a greater success next year. He asked them to record a vote of thanks to the lady workers. The vote was carried with acclamation. Mr '''Bechervaise''' responded on behalf of the ladies. In doing so he mentioned that they were much indebted to Mr and Mrs Tucker for the kindness shown to them at all times. The chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the donors, to which Mr W. Bentley replied, and a vote of thanks to the chair brought the proceedings to a close. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204428786 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=53 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 March 1886 |accessdate=3 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Ballarat Telegraph office under Bechervaise plays prominent part in distribution of election returns
<blockquote>'''THE GENERAL ELECTION.''' The long-looked for general election of 1886 took place yesterday, and was, so far as Ballarat was concerned, the most exciting event of the kind yet experienced. General elections — indeed Parliamentry elections of any kind — have always considerable interest for residents of Ballarat and surrounding localities, but the "day of reckoning" of 1886 has proved something out of the common. Not long since wiseacres were heard to say that the election of yesterday would be unexciting, simply because party politics were so nicely balanced in the last Parliament by the coalition, but be this as it may, the looked-for excitement presented itself in real earnest at the beginning of the present week, and the climax was reached by the polling and announcement of results yesterday. The morning broke dull, and during the day the sky was overcast, and as night approached rain commenced to fall. But the inclemency of the weather did not damp the ardor of the "free and independent," who in West and East "rolled up" and exercised, in the way they considered best, their franchise. The voting in Ballarat West and East was not confined to residents of the electorates, for among those who had put in appearance at the ballot-box were persons dwelling in such distant places as Gippsland, Portland, Mount Gambier, Dimboola, Apollo Bay, Mount Cole, and other parts of the colony. The Legislative Assembly numbers 86 members, and in the appended list we give as accurate a return of the polling yesterday as it was possible to obtain from the most reliable sources. Ballarat West has returned Colonel Smith, Mr C. E. Jones, and Mr R. T. Vale, the old veterans, Messrs Bell and Fincham, being defeated. The Minister of Mines (Mr James) was defeated in Ballarat East by Mr Edward Murphy, who polled largely both in Ballarat East proper and in Bungaree. It was reported last night that Mr James would carry out the promise made by him some days ago in the Ballarat East Town Hall, viz., resign his position in the Ministry. Mr Russell polled a big vote, and the high respect in which he is held in the electorate was shown by the large numbers of persons in the dense throng who spoke in complimentary terms of his courtesy to all classes in the district which he represents. The elections in Ballarat West and East passed off in a very orderly manner, and beyond a few slight "scrimmages" nothing occurred to mar the proceedings. Ample police protection had been provided, though not required, but, nevertheless, the constables were in their places in case of emergency. Mr Inspector Parkinson, assisted by Sergeant Hall, had charge of the constabulary told off for special duty in the City, while Sergeant Leverton controlled the Eastern police. The telegraph offices were kept open until a later hour last night for the convenience of the public. In the City office a large staff of operators were in attendance, under the direction of Mr Binstead, and it is due to the gentlemen who composed the staff to state that they discharged their duties, under numerous difficulties, in a manner that was highly creditable. Mr '''Bechervaise''' was, of course, commander-in-chief, and it is almost needless to say that his arrangement of the work greatly facilitated operations in the office. At The Star office a large hoarding had been erected for the purpose of posting returns thereon, and as these came to hand they were displayed under powerful gas illuminations, which enabled the many thousands of excited persons who had assembled in the street to see the figures distinctly. Shortly after 5 o'clock the space in front of The Star and Courier offices, and, indeed, right across the road to the southern side of Sturt street, became a scene of excitement, and by the time the clock had struck six the numbers in the thoroughfare had increased to a remarkable extent. By 7 o'clock about 15,000 persons were in front of the newspaper offices, and between 8 and 9 o'clock it was estimated that the dense throng in Sturt street, between Lydiard street and Grenville street, must have totalled at least 20,000. It is hard to be accurate in the computation of numbers when such a multitude of people are to be counted; but the throng in Sturt street last night, if not 20,000, was at all events beyond anything seen for many years. Had the weather been fine, the gathering would have been far larger. Among the crowd we noticed many residents of Learmonth, Buninyong, Haddon, Creswick, Clunes, and Sebastopol, all of whom displayed the utmost concern in the various returns. It will be seen by the results appended to this notice that Messrs Davies and Young have been returned for Grenville, the former polling 1396 and the latter 1327. Mr George Russell, the defeated candidate, secured 1086 votes; and, taking all things into consideration, he has no cause to feel disheartened at his non-success. Mr Richardson was defeated in Creswick, in which electorate Mr Cooper headed the poll with 2992, Mr Wheeler being second, having secured 2966. Mr W. Anderson, president of Bungareeshire Council, won the third seat with 2977. Messrs Lalor and Rees were re-elected for Grant, Mr Thomas Walker, of Ballarat, failing to secure a seat for the constituency. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204428886 |title=THE GENERAL ELECTION. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=55 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=6 March 1886 |accessdate=3 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise attends presentation to Serjeant on his departure to England to attend Indian and Colonial Exhibition
<blockquote>'''FAREWELL TO MR R. M. SERJEANT.''' A large gathering of influential citizens took place at Craig's hotel yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of bidding farewell to Mr R. M. Serjeant on the occasion of his departure for England to be present at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition. The chair was occupied by the Mayor, of the City (Cr Salter), and the vice-chair by Mr Brophy, J.P. Light refreshments were served in excellent style by Host Bentley. The loyal toasts having been disposed of, Mr Henry Bell proposed "The Parliament of Victoria." He thought the present Parliament was a good one, and would do good work. As to the representation of Ballarat West, there had been an alteration. If it did not turn out for the better, he would try to mend it again. (Applause.). He concluded by a few complimentary remarks concerning Mr. Serjeant. The toast having been duly honored, the Hon. George Young first responded. After laudatory remarks concerning Mr Serjeant, he expressed a hope that on his return he would place his services at the disposal of the electors for the province. He hoped the Houses would work as harmoniously in the future as they had done in the past, and was sure that if the Government introduced measures for the welfare of the people the Council would support them. Colonel Smith and Mr Murphy, M's.L.A., also briefly responded. The chairman then proposed "Our Guest." The representative character of the gathering spoke volumes for their guest. His name was almost a household word with them, and in mining matters it was known throughout the colonies. All present wished that he might benefit by the change, and come back to occupy not only his present position, but in a more enlarged sphere. It had required great judgment and management to bring the Band and Albion mine to the position it now occupied. Mr Serjeant, too, had at all times shown himself ready to assist in any movement having for its object the advancement of the welfare of Ballarat. It would be a graceful tribute to appoint Mr Serjeant (as had been said by Mr Bell) a commissioner, and there was no one better able to represent the mining and other interests. After expressing wishes for Mr and Mrs Serjeant's benefit by the trip the mayor presented the guest with a handsome, illuminated address, bound in morocco, the illumination having been elegantly done by Mr W. N. Lansley. The following is the text of the address:— "To Robert Malachy Serjeant, Esq., J.P., Ballarat. Dear Sir,— Understanding that you are about to pay a visit to Europe, we feel that we cannot allow you to depart without taking the opportunity of expressing the great esteem in which you are held in this community. Your long experience in mining, especially your connection with the world-famed Band and Albion Consols, the long-continued success of which, may be truly ascribed to your efforts, together with your general character as a good sterling and honorable citizen render your absence from our midst (for ever so short a period as you contemplate being away) a loss which will be felt. We wish now to bid you God speed, and trust that you and Mrs Serjeant will have safe transit in all your travels, and that we may ere long see you amongst us again with renewed health and vigor. On behalf of your numerous friends we are, dear Sir, yours faithfully — Chas. Salter (Mayor of the City), Chairman; D. Brophy, Vice-Chairman; J. Spillman, Hon. Secretary. Ballarat, 5th April, 1886." The toast having been drunk in bumpers, Mr Serjeant responded. After a few humorous remarks as to the presentations, he referred to the present suggestions to allow the occupation of the New Hebrides islands by France. The latter Power, he remarked, was known to colonise by the sword rather than by the plough. The political programme at home seemed to be to give 3 acres and a cow to the people, yet here they were allowing millions of acres, capable of allowing 300 acres and a herd of cattle to hundreds of thousands of people to be bartered away. In addition to these islands there was Australia capable of supporting thousands more if only the capital was sent out to develop the land. The Australians who were going to the Exhibition, should speak out on this matter. He would feel it his duty to represent to the people wherever he went the true resources of the colony, and try to induce men of money to send out their capital and skilled labor, not paupers. He regarded himself as a representative of mining, having been connected with it since 1849. As long as he was connected with Ballarat he would be connected with mining. He would take every opportunity to impress upon the English people the resources of the colony for producing gold, wine, and agricultural products. He would, no doubt, meet a great number of prominent Australians, and would try to impress upon them, and through them on the Government, the necessity of keeping up the connection with the colonies. After referring to the loyalty of Australia, he spoke of Mr Froude's visit. That gentleman had asked him what were the social positions of Australians and their feelings towards the Home Government. He told them they were loyal to Great Britain, and would assist her to one man were it necessary. (Applause.) He also told him that they were living in love and amity together, and were trying to build up an Australian community, irrespective of race or creed. (Applause.) He thought the exhibition would give them an opportunity of bringing their wants and wishes before the British nation. Mr. Serjeant then again thanked the meeting for their kind present, and also for their good wishes for himself and Mrs Serjeant, and resumed his seat amidst applause. A motion was then carried, on the proposition of Mr Brophy, seconded by Mr Cotter, to the effect that a telegram be sent to the Premier, asking him to appoint Mr Serjeant a commissioner to the Exhibition. The following toasts were then honored:— "The City and Town of Ballarat," proposed by Mr Baird and responded to by ex-Mayor Morrison; "The Mining, Commercial, Agricultural, Pastoral, and Manufacturing Interests," proposed by Mr Anderson, and responded to by Messrs Hickman, Brophy, Bath, and Fitzgerald; "The Press," proposed by Mr Sewell, and responded to by the representatives present; "The Ladies," proposed by Mr Stoddart, and responded to by Mr McDonald; "The Chairman," proposed by Mr Serjeant, and responded to by the Mayor; and "The Hon. Secretary," proposed by Mr '''Bechervaise''', and responded, to by Mr Spillman. The proceedings then terminated.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204430167 |title=FAREWELL TO MR R. M.

Bechervaise leads a farewell for one of his telegraph operators
<blockquote>One of the most popular amongst the operators engaged at the Ballarat Telegraph Office, Mr Bennett, on Saturday took his departure for Sandhurst, where he was formerly engaged as an operator. The change was a sudden one, but Mr Bennett's fellow employes felt that they could not allow him to depart without giving him some token of the esteem in which he was held. Mr '''Bechervaise''', the post and telegraph master, made the presentation, which consisted of a travelling bag, on behalf of his subordinates. In doing so he referred in complimentary terms to the manner in which Mr Bennett had discharged his duties, and wished him every success in his new sphere of labor. The recipient suitably replied, referring to the amicable terms on which he had been with his fellow employes, whom he thanked heartily for their kind gift. Mr Bennett, we may remark, was not alone a zealous servant of the State, but was at all times courteous and obliging to the public. He had not been long in Ballarat, but had evidently remained long enough to gain the esteem of his fellow-employes, and the good wishes of many of the public. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204431257 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=103 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=3 May 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise acts as post judge at races of Ballarat City Rowing Club
<blockquote>'''AQUATICS.''' The Ballarat City Rowing Club concluded their races for the officers' trophies last evening, when Laughlin's crew met Anwyl's crew for the final heat. Much interest was manifested in the event, and several well-known oarsmen assembled at the club's boat-house to witness the contest. Notwithstanding the bleak, wintry weather experienced during the past few weeks in preparation for these races, the crews attended very assiduously and underwent a careful preparation for the coveted prize. Punctually at the appointed time the two crews were ready, and with the veteran oarsman, Mr John Dobson, as starter, a good even start was effected. Both crews caught the water together, and a very close contested race ensued right down to the last island, when it was seen that Anwyl's crew assumed the lead, and cleverly won the event by a little over a length. Mr Vice-president '''Bechervaise''' acted as post judge, and a hearty cheer went up for the winners, viz., J. Anwyl, stroke; T. Hynan, 3; F. Dawson, 2; R. Oldham, bow; and Archibald Dawson, cox. The presentation of the prizes will be made at a meeting of the club on an early date, as is the usual custom.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204431337 |title=AQUATICS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=104 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 May 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise starter for Press Yacht Race on Lake Wendouree
<blockquote>The Press Yacht Race, which has become an annual event in the programme of the B.Y.C., and in which the tillers of the Wendouree yachts were handled by representatives of the local and metropolitan press, was sailed off on Saturday, at the lake, and excited a good deal of interest. The prize competed for on this occasion was a trophy, value five guineas, presented by Mr J. Murray, an active member of the club's committee. Six representative skippers put in an appearance in reply to the invitations sent by the club, and the draw for boats resulted as follows:— Viola, Star (Mr H. Schafer); Flying Scud, Evening Post (Mr W. Downie); Reporter, Courier (Mr G. B. Hogg); Darlie Bay, Argus (Mr J. Nash); Victoria, Australasian (Mr R. E. William's); Ballarat, Telegraph (Mr T. Jones. A stiff north-westerly breeze was blowing, and, after a little preliminary time spent in picking up buoys, the yachts were sent away on the starboard tack to Garden Island ('''Bechervaise''' starter), the race being three times round the sailing course. The Garden Island buoy was rounded first by the Victoria, followed by the Reporter, Darlie Bay, Viola, Ballarat, and Scud, in that order. The Viola endeavored to set a spinnaker in the run down after passing Brace's but the scheme was frustrated by the boom breaking. No alteration in the order took place until the yachts passed View Point, where the Reporter, through an attempt to cut it a little fine, carried away the lamppost at the extremity of the pier, but got clear away again after a little trouble. Rounding the buoy off Gill's, the Viola, by some neat handling, cut in from fourth place and assumed the lead. The Darlie Bay, however, shorted superior sailing powers in running up to the gardens' buoy, which she again succeeded in rounding first. The Ballarat had come up well into third place, but just before reaching the buoy her mast went by the board, and she had to be towed back disabled. The Viola shook out a reef in an endeavor to catch the Darlie, whose crew followed suit. The latter maintained her lead from this out to the finish, closely attended by the Viola, which finished a good second, the Victoria being third. The Reporter and the Scud, the former of which had her boom broken, did not finish. At the conclusion of the race an adjournment was made to the club-room, where a number of toasts were honored. Commodore Morey occupied the chair, and in a few suitable words presented the trophy to the winner, who briefly replied. The toast of "The Donor" was proposed by Mr W. Bailey, and responded to by Mr Murray. The latter proposed the health of the winner, which was duly honored, and Mr Nash responded. The toast of "The Press" was proposed by Mr B. Hepburn, and responded to by the various representatives present, and the toast of "The Chairman" brought the proceedings to a close. The yachting season will be wound up by a crews' race on Saturday next, to be followed by a supper given by Mr T. Gill to the crews. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204431527 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=109 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=10 May 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Fraud by James Campbell Macaw at Ballarat Post Office under Bechervaise's watch
<blockquote>The news that a young man named James Campbell Macaw, who for some time past has been in charge of the money order and savings bank department at the Ballarat Post-office, had been arrested on a charge of embezzlement caused some excitement yesterday amongst those by whom it was known. The charge laid against Macaw is embezzling £150, but we understand that his defalcations amount to between £500 and £600. The plan by which the money was appropriated was a very simple one, and it is a wonder that the delinquent was not discovered sooner. When a sum of money is deposited in the Savings Bank the amount is entered in the depositor's pass-book and stamped. As soon as the money is transmitted to the head office a printed receipt form is forwarded to the depositor announcing that so much money has been received by the Postmaster-General and lodged to the credit of the depositor. Too frequently, however, these documents are merely glanced at by the recipients, without comparing the amounts. Macaw would seem to have calculated upon this carelessness on the part of the public, and carried out his system of fraud accordingly. The passbooks have, it is presumed, been correctly entered and stamped, but in making out his returns for the Postmaster General, Macaw, it is stated, only accounted for a portion of the moneys he received. In one instance a depositor waited in vain for an acknowledgment from the head office. Not receiving it, he communicated with the Postmaster-General. An investigation was thereupon made into Macaw's accounts, when other discrepancies were found. Detective Lomax, who is connected with the Post-office Department, then swore an information against him before Mr Call, P.M., and on the strength of this a warrant was issued for Macaw's arrest. This Detective Lomax executed on Saturday night, and the accused was lodged in the City lockup. Yesterday morning Mr Heinz, butcher, of Bridge street, and Mr Bell, sharebroker, went surety for Macaw's appearance to answer to the charge in the sum of £200 each. Macaw having entered into his own recognisance of £400 he was liberated, on the order of Mr Cooper, J.P. The accused is a young man of gentlemanly appearance and manners, and was in receipt, we are informed, of £270 a year. He is married, and has one child, and his wife, we are informed, is near her second confinement. His father died only a short time since. Macaw will be charged at the City Court this morning with embezzling £150, entrusted to the Postmaster-General. An application will then be made for an adjournment until tomorrow, when a further adjournment for a week will be applied for to enable the police to gather materials for the prosecution. We are informed that Macaw has confessed to defalcations amounting to between £500 and £600. The cause of his crime is said to have been gambling. No blame whatever can attach to the management of the office in Ballarat, as Macaw's records always tallied with the moneys handed by him to his superior officer. The carelessness of the depositors in not seeing that their acknowledgments from the head office were correct is, we are informed, alone to blame for the defalcations not being found out sooner. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204431527 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=109 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=10 May 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Macaw loses his bail sureties
<blockquote>Owing to the two gentlemen who had gone bail for J. C. Macaw, who stands charged with embezzling £150 of moneys entrusted to the Postmaster-General, refusing to be bound over any longer as sureties in his behalf the accused was removed to the City lockup. All attempts to secure bail had failed at a late hour last night, and Macaw was still in the lockup. We are informed on good authority that the accused has handed to the authorities a written confession of his crime. In it, if we are rightly informed, Macaw gives full particulars of the exact amounts appropriated by him, the dates on which the peculations were committed, and the manner in which he proceeded to work. The accuracy of the statements in The Star of yesterday has been fully borne out. The amount stated to have been appropriated is close upon £600, and the period during which the accused has been helping himself to the public moneys is said to have extended over several months. The only possible way of discovering the frauds was by means of the depositors, and they have evidently been very careless in the matter of their receipts. Had these been carefully looked for and examined, the fraud must have been discovered within a few days of the first offence.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204431573 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=110 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=11 May 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Hearing of charges against Macaw, Bechervaise a witness
<blockquote>'''THE POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK FRAUDS.''' The charges against, James C. Macaw of embezzling certain moneys while in charge of the Ballarat branch of the Post Office Savings Bank were heard yesterday morning at the City Police Court, before Messrs Greenfield, Shoppee, Richards, and Stalker, J's.P. Mr T. Mann appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Wynne for the accused. There were three charges entered against him, viz., of embezzling £150 deposited on the 16th April by one James C. McFarland; also the sum of £100 deposited on the same date by one William G. Craig, and on the 27th April the sum of £99 deposited by one Robert Graham. Mr Mann asked that the evidence on the whole three charges should be taken together in order to facilitate dealing with the case, to which the bench consented. The following evidence was taken:— James Craig McFarland, the first witness called, deposed that he was a miner residing at Steiglitz, and had an account at the Ballarat branch of the Post-office Savings Bank. Witness had deposited £150 in the bank on the 16th April last, and gave the money to Macaw. The amount had been duly entered in his passbook, and initialled by the accused, Witness was accompanied by a mate named W. G. Craig. William Gibson Craig, also a miner residing at Steiglitz, deposed that he had also an account at the Ballarat branch of the Post-office Savings Bank. On the 16th April last, witness deposited £100 in the bank, and handed the money and his passbook to Macaw. The entry in his passbook had been correctly made and initialled. Robert Graham, a laborer residing at Illabarook, deposed to having lodged in the bank the sum of £100 on the 27th April last. The accused was at the counter, and witness handed the money to him. It was witness' first deposit. Accused handed wit-ness a passbook, in which, in his presence, he entered the amount of the deposit and initialled it. William Phillip '''Bechervaise''', postmaster, deposed that the accused was solely in charge of the money order and savings bank branch of the office. His duties were to receive an amount from witness on opening in the morning, and during the day to issue and pay money-orders, and to pay savings bank warrants, and receive savings bank deposits,, and at the end of the day to hand the balance of his cash to witness for banking. As soon as his daily statements were made up they were submitted to witness with the books, and checked and signed. When a deposit was received the clerk's duties were to make an entry of the date and amount in the depositor's passbook, initial it, and affix the date stamp. After that he made a copy of the entry in the Savings Bank deposit and withdrawal book. The sheet was torn off at the end of the day and passed in to witness, and the block with corresponding particulars was kept. On the daily statement handed in on the 16th April by the accused there was no entry of the deposit made by McFarland, nor was there any entry of Craig's deposit on the same date. The entry of Graham's deposit of £100 on the 27th April appeared on the statement as £1. From information received from the department on the night of the 7th May, witness wrote a memorandum to the accused. Accused came into his office as usual on the Saturday morning and asked whether witness had anything for him. Witness said, "I have something very serious for you." Witness then handed him the memorandum, as follows:— "Memorandum, Mr Macaw — You will explain in writing at once why two deposits, as below described, have not been reported in your accounts:— April 16, W. G. Craig deposited £100; April 16, J. C. McFarland deposited £150.— '''W. P. Bechervaise''', Postmaster." Accused read it and said, "I shall be able to find it in the accounts." Witness said, "Very well, go and find it, and don't be long." As he did not return in a little while, witness went to his room, and found him there looking at the blocks of the Savings Bank book. Witness said, "There should be no difficulty in putting your hand upon the amount. Can't you find it?" He said "No." Witness told him to come into his room, and there asked him — "Did you receive this money?" He replied, "Yes." Witness said, "What have you done with it?" to which he answered, "Used it." Witness asked whether there were any other amounts, and he said "Yes." Witness said, "Many," and he replied, "Yes." Witness asked, "Do you know how much, and he said, "Yes, to the penny." Witness told him to go and reply to the memorandum in writing at the foot. He asked what he had better do, and witness told him he should make a clean breast of it. The accused then went and wrote the following reply to his memorandum at the foot:— "Memo, for the Postmaster, Ballarat. Sir, — It is with extreme regret I confess that I have used the money above referred to for my own private purposes. These are not the only instances in which I have done wrong, but I shall prepare a full statement for the postmaster by this evening, and hand same to him. My M.O. books, postal notes, and Savings Bank books are correct. I shall be prepared to do all in my power to make reparation for the wrong I have done, and my effects will cover what I am short, I think.— James C. Macaw." When the accused handed in the reply witness suspended him from duty, and asked him if he could furnish a statement of the moneys not accounted for by him. He promised to do so, and bring it at half-past 6 that evening, which he did. The statement, which was here handed in, showed a total of £577, made up of 12 amounts which had been taken since the 4th September, 1885. In three instances £1 had been paid into the credit of depositors, and in the other cases nothing at all. The following footnote was attached:— "Memo for the Postmaster, Ballarat.— This is a correct statement of my defalcations, compiled from memoranda I have kept. The amount column shows the deposit lodged, and the remark column the amount I have credited on the opening of a new account. I throw myself upon the mercy of the department, and if given an opportunity can make the amount of my defalcations good. All I can urge in expiation of what I have done is that being in expectation of money under my father's will I was in hopes of making the amount good.— James C. Macaw." In cross-examination by Mr Wynne, the witness said the statement would unquestionably be of assistance to the department in setting matters right. Witness had known the accused as an officer of the department for a great many years. He was a good officer, attentive to his duties, and until these matters arose had always been correct in his accounts. He had an assistant clerk employed with him in the Savings' Bank. The accused was a married man, and witness believed his wife was in delicate health. John Broadhurst Boothman, ledger-keeper in the Melbourne Post-office Savings' Bank, deposed that he had charge of the ledger containing the accounts of the Ballarat branch. No statements containing entries of the deposits by McFarland, Craig, or Graham had reached him. To Mr Wynne — Some of the depositors were very irregular in sending in their passbooks for audit, and sometimes they did not come in for years. The statement of moneys taken would most decidedly be of assistance to the department. Detective Lomax deposed to the arrest of the accused, who had made no statement in connection with the case. Mr Mann wished to correct a statement as to the check upon the frauds in connection with the Post-office. As each depositor received a receipt from the head office, there was, in reality, a most effective check, which, in this instance, had led to the detection of the frauds. The bench committed the accused to take his trial at the sittings of the Supreme Court in Ballarat on the 4th June. Bail was allowed in the same amount as before.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204431961 |title=THE POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK FRAUDS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=117 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=19 May 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The Macaw matter concludes with a lenient judge sentencing 12 months hard labour, Bechervaise character witness
<blockquote>'''THE POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK FRAUDS.''' James Campbell Macaw, recently in charge of the Ballarat branch of the Post-office Savings Bank, and charged with the embezzlement of various sums deposited there, was arraigned at the Assize Court yesterday before his Honor Judge Cope. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him. Mr Finlayson, who appeared for him, asked to be allowed to call witnesses as to character, before his Honor passed sentence upon him. He had also been requested by the prisoner to state the causes which had led to his taking the money. Some years ago he had endorsed a bill for a friend, and of course had to meet it. To meet it he had had to borrow money at an exorbitant interest. He had speculated from time to time in the hope of clearing it off, and in a moment of weakness he had taken these moneys. Mr Finlayson said the evidence showed that it was more weakness than criminality on the part of the prisoner. The Rev. J. W. Inglis, who was then called, said he had known the prisoner from boyhood. He was an exemplary husband, and in his opinion the causes mentioned by Mr Finlayson were the right ones. Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', postmaster, deposed that Macaw had for seven or eight years been under his immediate supervision. He had always been one of the very best officers witness had known in the service, and had always done his duty well and willingly, and, had given witness great satisfaction. The following letter was written by the prisoner's wife to the judge:— "To his Honor Judge Cope,— Your Honor,— As the wife of Mr James Campbell Macaw, who will plead guilty to a charge of embezzlement whilst an officer in the Post Office Savings Bank at Ballarat, I trust you will pardon my presumption in addressing you. I feel constrained to do so, as I am now left with two innocent babies unprovided for. I am naturally of a delicate constitution, and the sad trial that I have been called on to pass through is worse to me than death. Oh, Sir! it is impossible for me to write what I have endured since this terrible calamity came on me. No words I could write would adequately convey an idea of my sufferings and despair. The disgrace brought on my dear husband, who, up to the moment he was arrested, I believed incapable of doing a dishonorable act, much less a dishonest one. Since my marriage no person could have had a kinder or more thoughtful husband than mine has been to me. Now all my happiness is gone, and here I am left with two helpless babies, and no one to assist me. God help me! Sir, it is these feelings that compel me to plead for mercy for my unfortunate husband, and if I was able I would make my appeal in person. No sentence you can pass on him will be a greater punishment than he has endured for months past. Since his arrest his sufferings have been great indeed, and if any one has repented and suffered for his wrongdoing, my dear husband has. I cannot, and do not, Sir, excuse my husband for what he has done. I know he had done wrong, poor fellow, he has never for a moment endeavored in any way to excuse himself. Whilst knowing it is your duty to vindicate the law, I plead, sir, for leniency for my sake and my two babes. We are innocent, and we will, Sir, have the heaviest burden to bear. Oh, Sir, just think of my delicate, helpless, and disgraced position. Ashamed to meet my own friends, and those who were once pretended friends will now shun me. No home, nothing but misery before me, and all through no fault of mine. Just one small ray of hope is left to help me and induce me to live, and that is that if I am spared to earn sufficient to keep myself and little ones whilst my husband is undergoing his punishment, he may come out of prison to be a father to his children, even should I be taken away. I do not know whether you will hand this letter to the press, but if you do I pray that the terrible sufferings which I and my husband have endured may be a lesson and warning to others not to break the law. I can say no more, but leave myself and little ones in your hands, praying that He who is Judge over all, and Whose ear is ever open to the cry of the helpless, will incline your heart to be merciful in your sentence, and make my punishment somewhat lighter than it is, as truly in this case the innocent ones are the real sufferers. I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient and humble servant,— Retteena Macaw." His Honor, in sentencing the prisoner, commented on the nature of the offence, remarking that a man usually began by taking small sums and going on to larger. Any sentence the court could pass would not be equal to the sentence the public had already passed upon him. The prisoner might have thrown away seven years of his life. Under the circumstances, however, the sentence of the court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labor for 12 calendar months.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204432736 |title=THE POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK FRAUDS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=132 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=5 June 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise supervises tests at Ballarat end of the Hebden telephone
<blockquote>'''NEWS OF THE DAY.''' . . . A series of experiments with the Hebden telephone, which is a comparatively recent invention, took place yesterday morning at the Melbourne Central Telegraph Office and the Ballarat office. At Melbourne there were present Messrs. G. Smibert, J. W. Payter, H. W. Jenvey, C. Miller and Quarry, officers of the Telegraph department; Mr. Fox, agent for the inventor, and other gentlemen, and at Ballarat, Mr. '''Bechervaise''', the head of the local office, Mr. F. Hebden, the inventor of the telephone which was tested, and others were in attendance. Various messages were spoken to Ballarat and back, the instrument working excellently, the words spoken by the gentlemen in the Ballarat office being distinctly audible to those at the Melbourne end. Several experiments were made by increasing and reducing the strength of the battery, used, but with scarcely any perceptible difference as regards the transmission of the sound. It was, however, not so easy to catch what was said when the duplex telegraph instrument was being worked simultaneously with the telephone. It is the opinion of the officers of the Telegraph department present that it will be necessary to have a trial of the telephone on a week day during the time that ordinary business is proceeding before it can be stated with certainty that the messages can be sent, over the wires while telegraphic work is going on, as allowances have to be made for the induction which then takes place. The Crossley telephone, which is in use in the Telegraph department, was also tried yesterday with Ballarat and found to work well. Mr. Hebden's telephone is now in use on several long distance circuits in New Zealand, the longest being between Christchurch and Timaru, which places are 100 miles apart. The invention is not yet patented in Victoria, but the chief advantage which it is claimed to possess over other instruments now in use is produced by the method of preparation of carbon and the application of this substance to the transmitter and discs.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article190854217 |title=NEWS OF THE DAY. |newspaper=[[The Age]] |issue=9770 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=14 June 1886 |accessdate=19 December 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise acquaintance Cazaly suspended for fraud against Benevolent Asylum
<blockquote>Considerable surprise was expressed last night amongst those by whom it was known at a report to the effect that Mr. Peter Cazaly, an old and respected public officer, had been suspended pending a special audit of his accounts. We are informed that the investigation was ordered owing to an allegation that certain donations that had been received for the Benevolent Asylum, for which Mr Cazaly is secretary, had not been entered in the cash-book for several days after they were received. The matter was considered by a sub-committee last night, when, we are informed, it was unanimously resolved that Mr Cazaly be suspended from office, pending the report of the special auditors.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204433205 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=141 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=16 June 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The following letter was read:— "Dear Mr '''Bechervaise''',— My duties at the Liedertafel prevent me from being present this evening. I, however, drop you a line by way of saying that I am cordially with you in your kind-hearted endeavors to soften the blow that has so unexpectedly fallen on the family of our old townsman, Peter Cazaly. His indiscretion has brought its inevitable punishment. Nevertheless I, in common with many old citizens, cannot shut our eyes to the fact that Peter has during the past 30 years done immense service to the community, and the present would appear to be the time when a recompense can most appropriately be rendered him. Be good enough, therefore, to put me down on your list for £10 as my contribution in part liquidation of the debt Ballarat appears to be in danger of forgetting is due to him. — Believe me, sincerely yours, John Robson."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204435210 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=174 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=29 July 1886 |accessdate=4 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise elected starter and sailing committee member of the Ballarat Yacht Club at annual general meeting
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT YACHT CLUB.''' The annual meeting of the Ballarat Yacht Club was held last evening at Pobjoy’s Unicorn hotel. Commodore Morey occupied the chair. Annual Report.— The secretary (Mr W. Downie) read the annual report, which was adopted, as follows:— "Gentlemen,— In presenting you with the ninth annual report for the season 1885-6, your committee have pleasure in recording that, notwithstanding a comparatively dull period, a considerable amount of interest, with a fair measure of financial success, is the outcome. This, in a great degree, is due to the valuable trophies donated by patrons, the eclat given to the opening proceedings when his Excellency Sir Henry Loch, with a large number of his distinguished visitors were present, and the efforts; of the officers and committee to conduce to the convenience and comfort of members and visitors on every occasion throughout the somewhat lengthy season, which practically opened on the 8th October, and closed on the 15th May. Besides the opening ceremonial, which afforded a very fine aquatic spectacle, and gained for the club considerable kudos, the season's proceedings embraced an annual regatta, and about 30 weekly contests for the various prizes so liberally donated. The Argus Trophy, which commenced on the 10th October, was won by the Darlie Bay, after four events; the second, Mr D. Ham's prize, was appropriated by the Ballarat after eight events, and a tie with the Pinafore; the third was Mr T. Bath's presentation, which fell to the Darlie Bay after five events; the fourth, Mr B. Hepburn's trophy, was also won by the Darlie Bay, after seven events and a tie with the Viola. This was followed by a race between the Queenscliff fishermen, on the occasion of their annual excursion to Ballarat, when the yacht-owners generously placed their craft at the disposal of the visitors, and the committee subscribed £6 as prize-money for the occasion. The Club Officers' Race came next, and Mr T. Mann (hon. treasurer) won the prize — a handsome piece of plate, presented by Commodore Morey — with the Reporter. The Press Race was next in order, and the Darlie Bay, sailed by Mr Nash (Argus), was the victor of a £5 trophy, presented by Mr John Murray; the season closing with the Crews' Race for prizes subscribed by members of the committee, and a supper given in the evening by Mr T. Gill. Owing to the yachts of the Wendouree fleet being presumedly considered too superior to compete in their class at both the Geelong and Colac regattas, they were excluded, and thus a considerable amount of interest on both occasions was shorn from both; although Mr R. Taylor took his yacht Victoria to the latter place and won the first prize in the open race. While this exclusion from competing on other waters may have detracted from the prestige that has been increasing year by year since the inception of the club, it was beneficial in other ways, for more continuous local competition and interest resulted. The skiff contests which were initiated last season were, from some unaccountable cause, not followed up, although a £5 trophy was offered by Mr R. W. Holmes. One matter was apparently lost sight of during the season, namely, the suggestion made by Mr B. Hepburn that a ladies' trophy be instituted, and this it is hoped the incoming committee will endeavor to initiate during the ensuing term. The warmest thanks of the club are due to the Hon. Philip Russell (president) and other prominent members of the club for handsome donations; to Vice-presidents B. Hepburn and T. Bath; the Hon. D. Ham, Mr J. Murray, Mr R. W. Holmes, and the proprietors of the Argus for valuable trophies presented during the past year; and also to Messrs B. Hepburn, T. Bath, M. McKenzie, J. P. McPherson, and the proprietors of the Argus for trophies promised for the ensuing season. In conclusion, your committee desire to tender their hearty thanks to all who rendered asssistance by their presence or otherwise in connection with the club's proceedings, and trust that the ensuing season may be even more successful than any that have gone before.— E. Morey, Commodore; W. Downie, Hon. Secretary." The report and balance-sheet were received and adopted. Elections.— The following office-bearers were elected for the ensuing year:— Patron, Sir W. J. Clarke; president, Hon. P. Russell; vice-presidents, Messrs B. Hepburn, T. Bath, Hon. D. Ham, J. P. McPherson, Hon. H. Gore; commodore, Mr E. Morey; vice-commodore, Mr W. Bailey; captain, Mr T. Bailey; judge, Mr W. Gale; starter, Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise'''; secretary, Mr W. Downie; treasurer, Mr J. Murray; timekeeper, Mr R. W. Holmes; sailing committee, Messrs J. Murray, J. Curthoys, J. Davies, R. W. Holmes, A. Monsbourgh, and '''W. P. Bechervaise'''; executive committee, the mayors of the City and Town, Lieut.-Col. Smith, and Messrs T. Stoddart, J. Hickman, E. Millard, R. Orr, R. Goodall, J. Phillips, J. Ferguson, T. Gill, E. Williams, A. J. E. Morey, O. E. Edwards, M. Griffiths, W. Scott, C. H. J. Walker, R. Hager, and J. Ivey. General Business.— The formal opening of the season was fixed to take place on Saturday, 16th October next. It was decided that Mr J. P. McPherson's trophy be the first to be competed for. The commodore stated that on a day to be fixed he would entertain the members and their families at the gardens. Vote of Thanks.— A special vote of thanks was passed to Mr T. Mann, for valuable services rendered to the club as treasurer for many years, he having sent in his resignation of the position. New Members.— Messrs C. H. F. Walker, C. E. Jones, and H. Pobjoy were elected members. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chair.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article210836115 |title=BALLARAT YACHT CLUB. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=228 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=30 September 1886 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

In Bechervaise's absence, letter-carrier Gates arrested for theft of letter
<blockquote>'''ARREST AT THE BALLARAT CITY POST OFFICE.''' Between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning Henry Frederick Gates, a sorter at the Ballarat Post-office, was arrested by Detective Lomax on a charge of stealing a letter, the property of the Postmaster-General. When Gates was placed under arrest by the officer some excitement prevailed among the employees, who have always considered the accused above suspicion. It seems that for some time past complaints have been made regarding the non-receipt of letters containing money, and in order to ascertain whether the fault lay with the Ballarat office, Detective Lomax was sent to Ballarat to investigate the complaints. Last night he secreted himself in a corner of the main room, directly opposite to the spot where Gates was engaged in sorting letters. About 15 minutes after midnight, Gates, it is said, was observed by the detective to fumble with several letters, and at length he was, it is alleged, seen to put one in his pocket. Subsequently Lomax sallied forth from his hiding place, accused Gates of theft, and took him into custody. Prisoner, who is 41 years of age, and the father of a large family, was then conveyed to the City lockup, where he was charged as stated, and placed in one of the cells. Gates is a resident of Ballarat East, and is well known in this district. We are in possession of further information on the subject, but we deem it inadvisable to say more at this stage of the case.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article210836837 |title=ARREST AT THE BALLARAT CITY POST OFFICE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=242 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=16 October 1886 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Further to previous
<blockquote>'''STEALING A LETTER.''' Henry Frederick Gates, the letter-carrier who was arrested by Detective Lomax, at the Ballarat West Post Office on the charge of stealing a letter, the property of the Postmaster-General, was brought up at the City Police Court yesterday morning, before Mr Thomson, P.M., and Mr A. Anderson, J.P. Inspector Parkinson prosecuted, and Mr Gaunt appeared on behalf of the accused. Mr Parkinson briefly stated the facts of the case, and the following evidence was taken:— David Mickle, acting-postmaster in Ballarat, deposed that he knew the accused, who was a letter carrier attached to the staff, and was also employed as assistant sorter. The accused went on duty on the night of the 15th instant, at about 10 o'clock. He would finish by about 12 o'clock. His duty was to sort the letters arriving by the last train. In case he met with any letter he believed contained money or valuables, it was his duty to bring the matter under the notice of the officer in charge. Accused's duty lay altogether in the mail room, and he had no occasion to leave the room. He had to sort the letters for the various walks of the letter-carriers, and if there were any letters for the money-order branch, should put them in the box attached to that office. Detective Lomax stated that, owing to complaints, he had come to Ballarat on the 11th instant, and kept the mail-work of the office under observation to the 15th. On that night, in consequence of what he had seen the accused do on the previous night, witness concealed himself above the ceiling, from which place he could look down on the table at which the accused was engaged in sorting. After the night-mail had been stamped, at about a quarter to 11 o'clock, the accused commenced to sort. The staff then on duty consisted of Sorters Feeley and Power, and Porter Mesley, together with the accused. Witness watched him for about an hour, and during that time saw him feel a number of letters he was sorting, by running his finger and thumb along the edge of the letter, and also by pressure with his finger and thumb. Some of those he had felt he put on one side of his sorting table, and afterwards picked them up again and put them behind the others, and by pressing the letters managed to open them sufficiently wide to enable him to see what was inside. Witness saw him select two of these letters he had examined, and put them on one side, but did not see him secrete any letters during the time he was watching him. After about an hour witness came down from the roof into the postmaster's room, which adjoins the money-order office. Soon after he came down he heard the accused come into the money-order office, and saw him pass through the postmaster's room into the mail-room. Witness went into the money-order office and kept him under observation until he left off work. As he was leaving the mail-room after bidding goodnight, witness followed him and stopped him at the door. Witness said to him, "Do you know me?" He said, "No." Witness said, "My name is Lomax. I am a sergeant of police. Come back." Witness brought him back to where Feeley and Mesley were, and said to him, "I saw you feeling and examining letters tonight. Have you any on your person?" In reply, accused said, "I gave a letter tonight, with money in it, to Mr Feeley to be registered. Witness said, "I know you did. What I want to know is, 'Have you any letters in your possession.'" He said "No," and witness told him to take off his coat. Witness then searched him, and in the left hand pocket of his trousers found a letter (produced). The letter was then torn at the corner. Witness asked him if he wished to explain how it came into his possession, but cautioned him at the same time in the usual way. He made no reply, and witness told him he was charged with stealing the letter. The accused said, "Can’t it be arranged?" Witness said, "Arranged, in what way?" He said, "Arranged with the department so that I may not be exposed and locked up." Witness said, "No; you have cast suspicion upon a number of respectable men in this office, and have caused trouble and loss to the public. I am going to lodge you in the lock-up." He said, "What will become of my wife and family?" Witness replied, "I don't know; you should have thought of that before." Witness then took him to the lock-up, sorter Feeley accompanying him. On the way there the prisoner said, "The devil must have been at my elbow tempting me to take that letter." Witness said, "He must have been at your elbow last night also, for I saw you handling letters in the same way then." William Benjamin Gedge, stationmaster at the Prahran railway station, deposed that the letter produced was written by him, and addressed to his father at Sebastopol. There was a £ 1-note enclosed. He had given the letter to his daughter to post on Friday last. Alexander Scott, a sorter in the General Post Office, Melbourne, gave evidence of a formal nature as to the passing through of the letter. Gedge deposed that he resided in Cheshunt street, Sebastopol. The letter produced was addressed to him, but he had not received it. William Mesley, porter in the Ballarat West Post Office, deposed that he was engaged in the mailroom in stamping the late mail, on the 15th inst. The witness gave evidence as to stamping the letter, and also corroborated the latter portion of the evidence given by Detective Lomax. William Henry Feeley, senior sorter in the same office, also gave corroborative evidence. Mr Gaunt said he would reserve his defence. The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next Court of General Sessions, to be held in Ballarat on the 15th November next. Mr Parkinson said he had no objection to bail being allowed, so long as it was in a substantial amount. Mr Thomson said the offence was a serious one, and the prisoner was liable to seven years' imprisonment. They would allow bail in two sureties of £150 each, and the prisoner's own recognisance for the same amount. The sureties being forthcoming, the prisoner was subsequently released on bail.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article210837208 |title=STEALING A LETTER. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=248 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=23 October 1886 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Public opinion thinks Gates sentence too light
<blockquote>At the Court of General Sessions at Ballarat yesterday, the only case tried was that of Frederick George Gates, the letter carrier, charged with stealing a letter containing money. The particulars concerning the case have already been published in The Star. The accused pleaded guilty. The Mayor of the City (Cr Thompson), Cr Claxton, the Rev. R. T. Cummins, and Mr. Rosenblum testified to the good character borne by the accused previous to the theft. Mr Gaunt, who appeared for the defence, then made an eloquent appeal on Gates' behalf, asking his Honor, in view of his previous good conduct, to inflict only a light sentence. After reviewing the evidence taken at the Police Court, Judge Casey sentenced the accused to six months' imprisonment. He addressed Gates on the serious nature of his offence, and remarked that the sentence would have been much more severe but for the evidence that had been tendered of his previous good behaviour. The sentence passed upon the accused was known through the City and Town early in the day, and some very strong comments were made regarding the leniency shown to Gates by Judge Casey, many thinking that the sentence ought to have been much more severe. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article210838280 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=268 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=16 November 1886 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''THE PRISONER GATES.''' TO THE EDITOR. SIR, I have no doubt the very good character given the prisoner Gates by the Mayor, Rev. Mr Cummins, Mr Claxton, and others influenced judge Casey in pronouncing the very insufficient sentence of six months for so heinous a crime. A burglar in his work puts his life in jeopardy, so also does a footpad, but this cowardly thief steals whilst in a place of trust the hard-earned savings of some poor person, yet he only gets six months imprisonment. If the judge had closed his remarks to those present in the court with the advice of "Go and do likewise," I should not have been very much surprised. But, Sir, what can the gentlemen think of themselves for thus helping to clear a fellow that was not only a thief, but such a hypocrite, that he thoroughly deceived them, and but for the detective he would be deceiving them still. If they had said, we thought he was honest, but he deceived us, and we now find that he was a mean thief, Gates would no doubt have been properly punished.— Yours, &c., AMICUS.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article210838342 |title=THE PRISONER GATES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=269 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 November 1886 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''THE MAN GATES.''' TO THE EDITOR. SIR,— The letter of your correspondent "Amicus" is deserving of the thanks of every right thinking member of the community; and I, for one, am surprised that a minister of the Gospel and other persons holding responsible positions should go and give a "character" to such a mean, contemptible thief as Gates has proved himself to be. No wonder that he is the owner of a fine property, with his family living in purple and fine linen, while his victims are struggling for an existence. On many occasions, I suppose, Gates has said to himself, "Fred, thou hast much goods laid up in store; eat, drink, and be merry," little thinking of the misery he was causing other people; and never expecting the detective to say to him, "Gates, this night, I require thy presence in the City lock-up." "What is to become of my wife and family?" exclaimed the robber when he was arrested. How much did he think of the wives and families he was robbing? I hope the time is far distant before we shall have such a disgraceful farce enacted as was the case on last Monday in Ballarat, wherein Judge Casey played such a prominent part. Two or three years' hard labor, with occasional doses of solitary confinement, would have been more in keeping with the merits of the case, instead of a paltry six months. Hoping that you will find room for the insertion of this, and that others will express their opinion on the subject.— Yours, &c., JUSTICE<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article210838411 |title=THE MAN GATES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXI, |issue=270 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=18 November 1886 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''THE MAN GATES.''' TO THE EDITOR. SIR,— I notice a number of letters appearing anent the sentence passed on the above unfortunate, who I may state is totally unknown to me. Surely your correspondents must know that almost ever since the world began the great question in criminal procedure is the "equality of punishment" in criminal cases. In the eye of the present statute law, the offence of stealing is the same. If a man should steal a pound enclosed in a letter to or from the Governor of the Colony or to or from the poorest person on earth, as I have stated, the offence is the same. The sentence is in the discretion of the judge up to a certain limit, but why should he make any difference in one case or in the other, when he is bound to administer the law according to the statute. In fairness to his Honor Judge Casey, I think that the sentence passed on Gates satisfies the ends of justice.— Yours, &c., Ballarat, 18th November.

Bechervaise and Sutton to review new fire alarms for Ballarat Fire Brigade
<blockquote>Bright's fire alarms do not appear to meet with the approval of some members of the Ballarat Fire Brigade. At the monthly meeting of the brigade last night Captain Trotman pronounced the alarms a "white elephant," and Mr Crannage said they were expensive, and were not, as they were led to believe, the same as were used by the metropolitan fire brigade. Mr Thompson thought that such expensive machinery would not have been manufactured unless its usefulness had been proved by test. In respect to the memory of the late Mr Burrowes — who kept himself well posted in all modern fire appliances, and who approved of the alarms — they should not be too hasty that evening in giving an opinion regarding the new importation, which cost something over £60. Mr Sutton, the local electrician, it was pointed out during the discussion, had been asked to inspect the alarms, and now that the alarms had arrived he was prepared to set to work and put the machinery together. Mr '''Bechervaise''' had also promised assistance. The matter was finally, on the motion of Mr Beyer, left in the hands of the officers to deal with. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article203946836 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=2 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 January 1887 |accessdate=6 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise re-elected a vice-president of the Ballarat Gymnastic Association at its annual meeting
<blockquote>'''ANNUAL MEETING GYMNASTIC ASSOCIATION.''' The annual meeting of the Ballarat Gymnastic Association was held last night at the rooms. Annual Report.— "In presenting this, the sixth, annual report of your club, your committee are proud of the prominent position into which you are merging, and feel highly gratified at the excellent results that have attended their labors in the starting of the season the association met with a severe loss in the departure of Mr Geo. Grose, our popular instructor, for Brisbane, and will account in a measure for the slight diminuation in numbers, especially in the boys' class. The committee are specially indebted to Mr H. A. King, who came forward with his usual courtesy and took charge of the senior class; and also to Messrs Shackles and Welch for the manner they conducted the boys' class. During the past season we held two visitors' nights and an exhibition, to which the members and their friends were invited, to give them an insight of the work done by the members. It is the intention of the committee to give several of these entertainments during the coming season, so as to encourage the members and keep the gymnasium before the public as much as possible. The annual competition was held in November last. Mr Techow, of the National Gymnasium, being unable to attend and judge the members nominated Messrs H. A. King and Thos. S. Mann, and their decisions gave unbounded satisfaction. Mr R. Davey secured the champion cup, the gift of Mr King and Mr J. Sleeman carried off the gold medal for the best of this year's members. In the boys' class Master W. Whity won the championship, having the greatest number of points. The whole of the trophies, comprising Britannia Cup, eight silver medals, and one gold, were given by the members of the committee, so that the association might be assisted as much as possible in their endeavors to reduce the overdraft. The coming season promises to be a most successful one, and it only requires the members to again work as they have done to try and induce as many of their friends and companions to join the association, to make it so. The committee feel much indebted to the press for the cordial manner in which it has supported the association in its endeavors to advance the physical education of the residents of Ballarat. Mr Eyre having retired from the position of secretary during the season, the committee unanimously elected Mr Davey to the vacant office, and have much pleasure in testifying to the admirable manner in which he discharged its duties." Elections.— President, Mr A. Anderson (re-elected); vice-presidents, Messrs H. A. King and '''W. P. Bechervaise'''; treasurer, Mr J. Fitzgerald; secretary, Mr R. Davey; auditors, Messrs Moran and A. Weight; committee — Messrs T. Mann, L. Bright, A. Weight, E. Hammond, R. Walker, R. Angwin. Votes of Thanks.— Votes of thanks were proposed to the office bearers, the press, and the chairman.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article203952303 |title=ANNUAL MEETING GYMNASTIC ASSOCIATION. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=98 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=27 April 1887 |accessdate=7 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Apparent lack of timeliness in delivery of telegrams to brokers, representations to Bechervaise
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT.''' (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) SATURDAY EVENING. For some time past brokers at the Corner have complained at the delays which frequently occur in the delivery of telegrams sent to them through the Ballarat telegraph office. The telegraph office is about 70 yards from the Corner, and yet telegrams are sometimes delivered to brokers an hour after they have been received in the local telegraph office. Sometimes a messenger goes to the Corner with a dozen or more messages, which he delivers to brokers as he sees them, and on comparing the times at which these messages have been received in the local office it is seen that some must have been lying in the office at least half an hour waiting a messenger to carry them about 70 yards. Of course this delay completely neutralises any advantage which the sender of an early message might have in the way of news, and tends to put all brokers in receipt of telegrams on a dead level. Some little time ago Mr. S. W. Smythe complained to the Postmaster-General on the subject, and received recently a reply from Mr. Derham, expressing regret that the irregularity had occurred, and intimating that steps would be taken to prevent it happening again. It is to be hoped that such steps will be taken without delay, for today the same thing occurred again. At a quarter to 1 o'clock a messenger arrived at the Corner with 12 messages for different brokers, and it was found when the envelopes were opened that one of them had been lying in the telegraph office here since a quarter to 12 o'clock, and others had been kept waiting different periods from 15 to 40 minutes. The matter was brought up at the afternoon meeting of the Exchange, and the brokers, who were very indignant, resolved to formally complain to the postmaster here (Mr W. P. Bechervaise) about it, and insist on the thing being remedied.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article7913509 |title=BALLARAT. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=12,761 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=16 May 1887 |accessdate=7 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends the Mayor's Ball, partnered by his daughter, in a cast of thousands
<blockquote>'''THE MAYOR'S BALL.''' One of the most brilliant assemblages that has ever gathered in the Alfred Hall assembled last night, the occasion being the annual mayoral ball, which was given this year by Mayor T. H. Thompson. In recognition of the season, it was aptly termed the "Jubilee Festival," and nothing further was required to prove the great popularity that Mayor Thompson and his worthy lady have achieved than the large number who accepted the invitations so freely extended. By the time advertised for commencing festivities, there was a large attendance of guests, and ere long the Alfred Hall was taxed to its utmost dancing capacity. There were a number of prominent guests, whose names appear below, but there were also many others who would scarcely desire to be classed amongst the "upper ten." The utmost cordiality prevailed, and the ball was not alone the best attended, but may also be classed as decidedly equal to the most enjoyable gathering of the kind that has yet been held. Amongst those who took part in the opening set were the Mayor and Mayoress of the City, the Mayor and Mayoress of Geelong, Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, and Judge Casey. The decorations were extremely pretty, the greenery that ornamented the pillars blending and contrasting well with the flags and lights. The arrangements for the comfort of the guests were all that could be desired. The catering was in the hands of Mr McIntyre, of Bridge street, and it is needless to say that in this respect the provision made was admirable. The quantity and quality of the viands and wines were unexceptionable, and the tables were laid out with the best possible taste. The new annexe was utilised as a lady's supper-room, while the wants of the gentlemen were attended to on the stage, at the rear of the orchestra. Many of the costumes worn at the ball were handsome and effective, and, as is usually the case, the quieter dresses were generally the most effective. The mayor appeared for the first time in public in Ballarat in his new costume, complete, with cocked hat, cut-away coat and ruffles, knee breeches, black silk stockings, and buckled shoes. There was a fair sprinkling of uniforms, and as the gas-light shone on elegant costumes, handsome uniforms, dress suits, and smilingly happy faces, the scene was certainly a pleasant one to look upon. Dancing was kept up until an early hour to really excellent music supplied by Herr Schraeder's string band. There were 22 numbers on the programme, which embraced live waltzes, and concluded with the old-fashioned dance, "Sir Roger de Coverley." A smoking-room was set apart for the convenience of the sterner sex, and it was, as usual, well patronised during the night. The following is the LIST OF ACCEPTANCES. . . . '''Bechervaise, Mr and Miss'''; . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207770836 |title=THE MAYOR'S BALL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=153 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=1 July 1887 |accessdate=7 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise an applicant for Assistant Secretary of the Vic PMGD
<blockquote>The appointment of an officer to the position of assistant secretary to the Postmaster-General, rendered vacant by the promotion of Mr James Smibert to the office of deputy postmaster-general will most probably be made to-day. A number of applications for the appointment have been received by the Postmaster-General from gentlemen engaged in the department. Among those who have sought to secure the post are Mr W. Galbraith, comptroller of the money order and savings bank branch; Mr. J. P. Mabbott, who for some time past has acted as assistant secretary; Mr. '''W. P. Bechervaise''', postmaster at Ballarat; Mr. W. Morkham, accountant; and Mr. G. S. Caldwell, inspector of mail services. In point of seniority and position Mr Galbraith has prior claims. He is graded in the first class of public servants, receives £800 a year as salary, and has been 34 years in the Government service. Mr. Derham under these circumstances has decided to recommend his promotion to the post, but has not arrived at any recommendation as to Mr. Galbraith's successor as comptroller of the savings bank and money order office.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article7857498 |title=MONDAY, JULY 4, 1887. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=12,803 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=4 July 1887 |accessdate=7 December 2020 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise appointed permanent chair of committee to arrange return ball for Mayor
<blockquote>A meeting to make arrangements for giving a return ball to the Mayor and Mayoress of the City (Mr and Mrs T. H. Thompson) was held yesterday afternoon, at Craig's Royal hotel; Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''' in the chair. There were about 50 prominent citizens present, and several apologies for non-attendance were received. It was resolved that the return ball take place on the 28th instant, and the following gentlemen were appointed a general committee to make the necessary arrangements: — Messrs '''Bechervaise''', Balhausen, Lovitt, A. T. Morrison, J. Dunne, E. H. L. Swifte, H. Herbert, McDonald, Willetts, E. Morey, sen., Jas. Ivey, J. A. Powell, Hardie, McPherson, A. Miller, and Barclay. Mr '''Bechervaise''' was appointed permanent chairman, Mr Webb honorary treasurer, and Mr F. W. Claxton hon. secretary. Subsequently the committee met, when several sub-committees were appointed to carry out the details. The chairman, secretary, and treasurer were authorised to arrange for the printing and advertising and also to deal with any little thing requiring immediate attention. The matter is being taken up with enthusiasm, and it is confidently expected that the coming return ball will eclipse all its predecessors in point of attendance and also in completeness of arrangements. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207771216 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=160 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=9 July 1887 |accessdate=7 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

After careful consideration the following was agreed to:— Chapter I.— Name and title.— The name or title of the school shall be "The Ballarat School of Mines, Industries, and Science in the University of Melbourne," but in all legal and other documents it may be cited as "The School of Mines, Ballarat."

(c.) To teach mathematics, surveying, and those branches of technical and industrial science which may be considered most likely to promote the industrial progress of Victoria. (d.) To teach such other subjects as may be from time to time deemed advisable by the council of the school.

Bechervaise attends return ball to Mayor, daughter as partner
<blockquote>'''MAYORAL RETURN BALL.''' The return ball given to the Mayor and Mayoress of the city by the citizens of Ballarat was held last night, in the Alfred Hall, and was a truly brilliant affair. The attendance was not quite so great as at the ball given by Mr Thompson, but was, nevertheless, greater than at any previous return ball. The hall was exceedingly tastefully decorated by Messrs Kift, Whitelaw, and Ruddock, the drapery having been kindly lent by Messrs Snow and Room. The sides of the hall were also further adorned by large mirrors and pictures, for which the committee were indebted to Mr R. Tunbridge. The gallery was very nicely fitted up as a fernery, and served as a very pleasant resort during the intervals between the dances or for those who desired to watch the scene during the progress of the mazy waltz or more complicated quadrille. The floor was splendidly prepared, and dancers accordingly enjoyed themselves, more especially as the music was perhaps the best that has been heard at any similar gathering in the city. The orchestra, which consisted of thirteen performers, was under the leadership of Mr West. The dresses worn by the ladies were varied in style, and most of them were very effective. The whole scene, while the dancers ware enjoying themselves in round or square evolutions, was a very attractive one. The catering was in the hands of Mr C. Walker, who not alone devoted attention to the cravings of the inner man, but also displayed his cakes and other creature comforts in the most attractive manner. The arrangements were all that could be desired in every respect, and the pleasure of all who were present was thus secured. The following is a list of those who presented cards at the point of entrance:— . . .

Letter to editor of the Star highlights the bravery of the Queenscliff lifeboat crew who saved the crew of the Gange
<blockquote>'''THE QUEENSCLIFF LIFE-BOAT CREW.''' TO THE EDITOR. SIR,— The successful efforts of the above crew, in the plucky rescue of all hands from the Austrian barque Gange when stranded, are properly the theme of admiration of all classes. Sailors, fishermen, and others familiar with coast life know that the men when they started intended to "do or die," no one ever volunteers for such a service but he is well aware that the odds are against his coming back. In this case they did all return, we are glad to know. That pull from the jetty out into the dirty black night, hanging on at their oars, wet through all the time, fighting against wind, sea, and tide in the biting cold, the dangerous passage through the rip, and the long hours keeping their boat's head off shore till they could render the poor half-clad perishing creatures help, and the smart way the boat was handled during the rescue, prove the crew to be brave to the core. The Ballarat Yacht Club people are well acquainted with these Queenscliff boys, for they come annually to our lake to be entertained, and some of the members are getting up a meeting to see what can be done for the crew who have proved that our lifeboat rescue system will compare favorably with the similar grand institution having its active crews distributed all over the coasts of Great Britain. We hope all who can will give a hand to help forward the object herein stated.— Yours, &c., BREAST-BACKSTAY. Ballarat, 30th July.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207772412 |title=THE QUEENSCLIFF LIFE-BOAT CREW. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=180 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=2 August 1887 |accessdate=7 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Propositions towards furthering the success of the movement were made by Mr Jas. McPherson, Mr T. Bailey, Mr Jas. Ivey, and Mr O. E. Edwards. After the business of the meeting had been disposed of, Mr W. N. Lansley offered, with his characteristic generosity, to engross and illuminate, free of cost, an address to be presented to the noble lifeboat crew, for which a most cordial vote of thanks was accorded him. It was decided that the presentation take place at Adman's hotel, Queenscliff, on Saturday evening next, the majority of the gentlemen present expressing their intention of being present on the occasion.

The presentation of an address and purses of sovereigns to the crew of the Queenscliff lifeboat, by the townspeople of Ballarat and district, took place last night at Admans' Grand Hotel. Many of the leading residents of Ballarat and Queenscliff were present, and the chair was occupied by Col. Smith. Mr '''Bechervaise''' read the address, which is to be framed, together with photos of the crew, and then placed in the Queenscliff town hall. He then presented the following purses:— To the superintendent, 10 sovs; to the coxswain, 8 sovs; to the crew of eleven men, 6 sovs each. Col. Smith proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor of Ballarat, coupled with the names of Mr and Mrs Bailey, the originators of the presentation, which was duly responded to. All then adjourned to the supper-room, and, after the good things provided had been partaken of, numerous toasts and songs followed, the superintendent and coxswain replying on behalf of themselves and the crew to the toast of their health. The purchaser of the stranded barque Gange (Mr Miller, of Geelong) and a number of men boarded the vessel today in boats, and recovered a quantity of ship's stores, sails, and a boat. If the vessel holds together in her present position they hope, with favorable weather, to recover all the rails and the casks of rock sulphur, and they intend to examine the vessel to see what damage has been sustained by the hull. There is a splendid donkey engine on board, which they will endeavor to bring into use for the hauling up of cargo.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article150731934 |title=THE WRECKED VESSEL GANGE. |newspaper=[[Geelong Advertiser]] |issue=12,400 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=8 August 1887 |accessdate=8 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
As previous, a more detailed report by The Argus
<blockquote>'''THE WRECK OF THE GANGE. PRESENTATION TO THE LIFEBOAT CREW.''' (By Telegraph From Our Correspondent.) QUEENSCLIFF, Sunday. The presentation by the townspeople of Ballarat to the lifeboat crew, in connection with the wreck of the barque Gange, took place last evening in Admans's Grand Hotel. There was a large attendance, including several leading residents of Ballarat. The chair was occupied by Colonel Smith, M.L.A., and there were also on the platform the major and councillors of Queenscliff, Captain Otter, Lieutenant Umphelby, and several military officers. The presentation consisted of a purse of sovereigns, and an address, which was read by Mr. W. P. Bechervaise, the postmaster of Ballarat. He regretted that on account of the shortness of the time they had not been able to have the address framed, but said that as soon as the photographs of the lifeboat crew were obtained it was their intention to have it framed, and placed in the Queenscliff Townhall. (Cheers.) He had much pleasure in presenting Mr. Dickson with a purse containing 10 sovs., Coxswain Wayth with 8 sovs., and the crew with 6 sovs. each. All the men were heartily cheered as they came forward to receive the gift. Colonel Smith proposed a vote of thanks to the mayor of Ballarat, coupled with the names of Mr and Mrs Bailey, who were the originators of the presentation. He stated that they had scarcely had a refusal to contribute to the fund. He felt proud of the crew, who were nearly all colonials, and were keeping up the reputation for courage shown by former crews. (Cheers.) Mr Bailey briefly returned thanks on behalf of himself and his wife. An adjournment was then made to the supper-room, at which about 100 persons sat down, the chair being occupied by Mr. Thomson, the mayor of Ballarat, who had on his right hand Mr Dickson, the superintendent of the lifeboat crew, and on his left the coxswain, Mr. F. Wayth; Mr Morey, the commodore of the Ballarat Yacht Club, occupying the vice-chair. After the supper, the chairman proposed the toast of "The Queen and Royal Family," which was received with cheers. Mr Morey proposed "The Lifeboat Crew," coupled with the name of Mr. Dickson. It gave him, he said, great pleasure to be with them that night. In his early life the sea had been selected for him, and he knew from experience the dangers of it. He felt proud to think that they had such brave and hardy young men in the colony, who were ready to risk their lives in the moment of danger as they had done. The toast was drunk with musical honours. Mr Dickson, who upon rising was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering, said he desired to express thanks on behalf of himself and the crew for the manner in which they had been treated by the residents of Ballarat. It was more than they had expected when they embarked in the lifeboat, and he felt certain that if called upon again they would be ready and willing to sacrifice their own lives in saving their fellow-men. The coxswain also briefly returned thanks, and stated that he had been 19 years connected with the lifeboat. Colonel Smith proposed "The Mayor and Councillors of Queenscliff." The Mayor (Mr. Admans), in reply, said that he had been for 30 years a resident of the Cliff, and had seen a lot of lives lost through shipwreck. He thought that a lifeboat station should be erected at Point Lonsdale, as only those who had had experience knew the difficulty and danger attending a boat going out through the Rip in rough weather. It was not that crews were scarce, for if there were three lifeboats on the Cliff he felt certain that there were men ready and willing to man them. (Cheers.) He felt proud of the crew, and the manner in which they had been treated by the residents of Ballarat, who had always taken a lively interest in the Cliff. Mr. '''Bechervaise''' proposed "The Secretary of the Movement" (Mr Jenkins, of Ballarat). Mr. Jenkins, who was received with cheers, said that the secretaryship had been a labour of love to him. He felt proud to be introduced to such men as composed the lifeboat crew. He was a colonial himself, and he believed that if he had pushed the affair he would have raised £500 instead of £100. (Cheers.) He had scarcely met with a refusal whilst collecting for the movement. Mr. Morey proposed "The Pilots," who, he said, were a valuable and experienced body of men. From the experience he had gained in travel he could confidently say that the local men were as good as any pilots in the world. They had risked their lives in the vain endeavour to save the ill-fated barque Gange, and such men as these should not be forgotten. He referred to the heroism of Pilot Evans and the two boatmen in attempting to board the barque in a small boat, with such a tremendous sea running. (The toast was drunk with three times three cheers.) He agreed with Mr. Admans in saying that a lifeboat station should be erected at Point Lonsdale. Several other toasts followed, interspersed with songs. The Queenscliff brass band played selections at intervals. After the customary vote of thanks to the chairman, the proceedings terminated with the National Anthem. The following is the address to the crew:— "To the Superintendent, Coxswain, and Crew of the Queencliff Lifeboat.— Dear Sirs,— The commodore, officers, and members of the Ballarat Yacht Club, together with the whole of the residents of Ballarat and district, desire to offer you their hearty congratulations on the successful rescue of all hands from the Austrian barque Gange, when stranded near Point Lonsdale, Victoria, on the night of the 23rd of July, 1887. Like true men, disregarding your own safety when the lives of your fellow-creatures were in jeopardy, you promptly and cheerfully manned your boat, and after struggling for long hours against the stormy elements on a dark night, you were enabled by the smart way in which the boat was handled to take off the whole of the crew and a brave little woman, the captain's wife. My lads, one and all, we are proud of you, and we know that we are expressing the feelings of all communities of the Australian colonies — aye, and all the people of the civilised world — when we say that your heroic conduct on the occasion of the wreck of the Gange is the admiration of all. Wishing you with your families great prosperity, health, happiness, and long life. "Signed on behalf of the residents of Ballarat and district. "T. H. Thomson, Mayor of the City of Ballarat. "James Russell, Mayor of the Town of Ballarat."

Bechervaise proposes a fund to assist in the beautification of the lakes and gardens of Ballarat
<blockquote>A suggestion that is likely to bear fruit which will be to the advantage of the city was made last night by Mr '''Bechervaise''' at a social gathering at Craig's hotel. That gentleman was referring to the great attraction that the lake and gardens were to Ballarat, and suggested that a fund should be established for further beautifying them. He remarked that it was well known that the City Council had not the money to spare that they would like to lay out on these places. There were many citizens who benefited by them, and they ought to assist in beautifying them. He was prepared to give £50 provided £2000 were raised, or £25 if £1000 was subscribed, for improving these beauty spots. The Government could, no doubt, be induced to give a substantial donation when they saw the people willing to help themselves. There were so many ratepayers in Ballarat beneficially influenced by the attractiveness of the lake and gardens that he did not think the least difficulty would be experienced in raising the money. Mr '''Bechervaise's''' remarks were very well received, and he had scarcely resumed his seat ere Mr John Hardy rose, and announced his willingness to give £200 towards the object. Mr Hardy's munificent offer was received with loud applause. Cr Salter spoke in favor of the scheme. He remarked that, as a representative of the North ward, the ratepayers in which were not so much interested in the lake and gardens, he had occasionally to protest against so much of the general revenue being spent there. At the same time he thought there were many business men who were directly interested in maintaining the beauty of these recreation grounds, and they should be ready to contribute. Subsequently Mr W. Bentley, the popular host of Craig's hotel, and Mr Moore, the financial agent of the Tramways Company, signified their willingness to give £25 each. There was thus £300 promised at the meeting, and the object is such a worthy one that there should be no difficulty in raising the sum mentioned by Mr '''Bechervaise'''. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207772797 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=187 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=10 August 1887 |accessdate=8 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Present — Messrs Andrew Anderson, J.P., vice-president (in the chair), Crs R. T. Vale, M.L.A., '''W. P. Bechervaise''', J. Lonie, and F. J. Martell. Apologies were received for the unavoidable absence of his lordship the Bishop of Ballarat, and the hon. treasurer, I. J. Jones, J.P. Minutes of previous meeting were read and confirmed, and accounts amounting to £211 2s 7d, as recommended by the finance committee, were passed for payment. Applications for the delivery of a science lecture weekly to the more advanced pupils of their respective schools were received from Messrs Elvins, Lowther, and Potter, and favorably entertained; the professor of chemistry, &c., and Cr Martell to be requested to make the necessary arrangements. Professor McCoy, examiner in mineralogy, reported that candidate No. 843 (Mr W. P. Gronow) had passed well in mineralogy. Mr Hugh Reid tendered his resignation as a member of the council, owing to business engagements preventing his giving attention to the duties connected with the position. It was resolved that Mr Reid be requested to retain his seat on the general council for the remainder of the term, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' was appointed a member of the administrative council in the room of Mr Reid. A communication received from Mr Oddie, requesting that a case of mineral and geological specimens might be forwarded to him in England was favorably considered, and it was decided to request the curator to prepare a suitable collection for transmission. Crs '''Bechervaise''' and Lonie were appointed a visiting committee for the ensuing month. Plans and specifications for the erection of a mineralogical laboratory and curator's office combined were submitted and approved; tenders returnable within a week from date to be invited for execution of the work in accordance with the same.

The annual meeting of the Electric Telegraph Rowing Club was held at the Bush Inn on Friday evening, the 26th ult., when the report and balance-sheet for the past year were presented and adopted. The report showed that the club had made fair progress during the past year, and had been successful through its representatives in winning the Maiden Eight Oared Race at the Upper Yarra Regatta.

As previous, controversy when staff of telephone exchanged are sacked
<blockquote>The staff at the Ballarat Telephone Exchange — Mr J. McNeil, manager; Mr Harris, telephone inspector; Messrs Morgan, King, and Cutter, operators — have received instructions that their services are to be dispensed with, the operators having the option of continuing their duties on condition that they undergo one of the Public Service Board examinations. Whether this examination is to be of the clerical or non-clerical order has not been stated. On Friday Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', as city post and telegraph master, took over on behalf of his department the telephone offices and appliances in use in Ballarat. It seems that an impression has prevailed for a considerable time among the employees at the telephone exchanges in the colony that the Government would on purchasing the system retain a number if not all of the hands in the employ of the vending company, as they had according to all-round reports given every satisfaction to subscribers, but that in all future engagements applicants would, before being taken on, have to submit to a clerical or non-clerical examination. We hear that the case of the Ballarat telephone office employees is to be brought under the notice of the Government, with the view of bringing about an arrangement which, if carried out, would give satisfaction to the staffs engaged in all the exchanges in the colony. In the Ballarat Exchange one of the employees has worked hard for five years in order to render himself thoroughly conversant with the working of the machinery, and his case was to have been brought under the notice of Mr Smibert, deputy Postmaster-General, yesterday.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article207775232 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXII, |issue=228 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=27 September 1887 |accessdate=8 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends quarterly meeting of Council of School of Mines
<blockquote>The quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines was held last evening at the school, when there were present the vice-president (Cr A. Anderson), and Crs '''Bechervaise''', Serjeant, Lonie, Martell, Jones, Bickett, Williams, Vale, and Wynne. Apologies were received for the absence of Bishop Thornton and Professor Irving. The certificates of competency recommended by the examiners, which have been already particularised, were granted. The report of the honorary board of examiners was referred back for explanation as to the reason why pupils in the State school class for elementary physics were recommended scholarships, while others who had obtained a higher percentage in the class for elementary chemistry were not so recommended. Some discussion took place in reference to the recommendation of the education committee submitted at the previous meeting, "that the present lecturer on astronomy be notified that his services will cease to be required at the end of the current term." Mr Martell moved, and Mr Vale seconded, "That his services be dispensed with, as the subjects taught overlapped those taught in another department of the school." An amendment was moved by Mr Bickett and seconded by Mr '''Bechervaise''', "That the question be deferred for consideration for another term." Three voted for the motion and the amendment, and the chairman gave his casting vote in favor of the latter. The statement of receipts and expenditure for the past year showed that there was a credit balance on the general account of £151 0s 9d, while there was £563 11s 9d to the credit of the endowment fund, and £807 7s 1d to the credit of the building fund. The auditor, Mr Charles Kent, certified to the correctness of the accounts, and paid a high compliment to the registrar, in reference to the accuracy and completeness of the books. The report was adopted. The treasurer (Mr I. J. Jones) submitted his financial statement for the past year. They had commenced the year with a debit balance of £330 2s 7d, and had wound up with a credit balance of £151 0s 9d, besides increasing the amounts to the credit of the endowment and building funds. The fees for the year had amounted to £1064 9s 6d, a greater sum than in any previous year, but the public subscriptions were less. They began this year with a credit balance, and would no doubt be able to extend the operations of the school. The report was received, and on the motion of Mr Bickett, seconded by Mr Serjeant, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the treasurer. Several other matters were dealt with, and the council then adjourned until Monday next, at 4.30 p.m. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209211161 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=7 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=10 January 1888 |accessdate=13 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

The report of the honorary board of examiners, which had been referred back for explanation in reference to the awarding of scholarships to State school pupils, was adopted, and the explanation deemed satisfactory. The awards recommended by the examiners were made. Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and Martell, the subcommittee to whom the matter of letting rooms for outside classes was referred, recommended that the use of rooms be granted from term to term, subject to the accommodation at disposal, on the following terms:— One guinea per quarter for one night a week, and half a guinea a quarter for one day a week, and so on in proportion, these charges to be made to cover cost of maintenance. It was decided, after a little discussion, to make a regulation embodying the suggestions of the subcommittee. The hon. treasurer submitted his annual estimate of receipts and expenditure for the current year. The estimate was adopted. The salaries of the officers for the present year were gone into, and a number of alterations made. Several routine matters were dealt with, and the council adjourned. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209211550 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=13 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=17 January 1888 |accessdate=13 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Further report, Cadell part of a syndicate looking to invest in mining operations near Maudie's Creek
<blockquote>'''Deputation re Up-country Roads, and Duty on Mining Machinery.''' A deputation, consisting of Messrs. V. V. Brown, Arthur Giles, R. A. Ker, Browne, Ffrench, '''Bechervaise''', and Cadell, were introduced to the Minister of Education (Hon. J. C. F. Johnson) by Mr. H. H. Adcock, Chairman of the Palmerston District Council. . . . Mr. Ffrench said that they had one other matter to bring before the Minister, which was the question of the duty on mining machinery. He thought that the Government should assist the pioneers of new districts, as they have to bear the brunt of making roads, finding sites for machinery, and pioneering the country generally. They asked that the duty on mining machinery might be abolished altogether, or if that were not possible, that it might be made a nominal rate until the country had been thoroughly tested and proved. They were there prepared to spend money, and he thought the Government should give them some encouragement. Mr. Cadell said he represented a syndicate of Victorian capitalists, that he had come to inspect, and if the reports furnished were anything like correct, to approve of a property. To develop mineral properties they must put on machinery, and by removing restrictions the Government would materially assist that development. Mr. H. H. Adcock said that various applications had been made to the Government to remove these duties, but without success. He could not see why, if South Australia admitted flour milling machinery, which was necessary to the development of a staple industry there, duty free, mining machinery, which is absolutely necessary to the development of the Territory, should be made to pay. We have done our best to develop the natural resources of the country, and need some assistance and consideration at the hands of the Government. Fifteen per cent. duty added to the prime cost of valuable machinery was a heavy handicap. . . . <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article3312419 |title=Deputation re Up-country Roads, and Duty on Mining Machinery. |newspaper=[[Northern Territory Times And Gazette]] |volume=XIV, |issue=749 |location=Northern Territory, Australia |date=10 March 1888 |accessdate=13 December 2020 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines, recommends that Telegraphy Certificates be endorsed by the examiners
<blockquote>The quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines was held yesterday at the school, when there were present the vice-president (Cr A. Anderson), and Crs '''Bechervaise''', Lindsay, Williams, Vale, Lonie, Molloy, Bickett, Martell, Capel, Rosenblum, Wynne, Figgis, Robertson, the Ven. Arch-deacon Julius, and the Rev. Dr Roseby. Certificates were granted to successful students in the late examinations. The Ven. Archdeacon Julius was appointed a member of the administrative council. The appointment of an office assistant was left in the hands of the education committee. The question of the erection of roasting furnace in connection with the mining laboratory was referred for report to the machinery committee. The expenditure necessary for the construction of a fume chamber in the chemical laboratory, to cost £39 10s, was authorised on the motion of Cr Lonie, seconded by Cr Wynne. The reports of the professors and lecturers in reference to the additional accommodation likely to be required in the future for biological and physical laboratories, lecture-rooms, &c., were submitted. The education and building committees were requested to consider the reports, and to bring up a report to a special meeting of the council in order that competitive designs might be invited for a new building of uniform design. Cr Martell moved a motion standing in his name to the effect that steps be taken to establish a cookery class in connection with the school. The motion was lost by seven votes to four. It was resolved that the lecturers in mathematics and astronomy be notified that their services be dispensed with. The registrar was instructed to write to the warden of the University, Mr C. A. Topp, or any other competent gentleman to nominate a suitable gentleman as a lecturer in biology. It was decided, on the suggestion of Cr '''Bechervaise''', to have the certificates granted to successful candidates in telegraphy endorsed by the examiners. The council then adjourned. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209440471 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=96 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=24 April 1888 |accessdate=13 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends demonstration of Suttontype Photoengraving Process and chairs subsequent discussions
<blockquote>'''THE SUTTONTYPE PHOTO-ENGRAVING PROCESS.''' A new photo-engraving process, which, from its cheapness, expedition, and simplicity gives promise of revolutionising the art of illustrating, has recently been invented by Mr Henry Sutton, the well-known inventor, of Ballarat. The illustration of books and periodicals, even of the crudest kind, has always been done only with a considerable amount of labor and expense, and the want of some cheap and practical method of producing illustrations has had the effect of restricting their use. Among many other scientific studies, Mr Henry Sutton has devoted his attention to this subject, and has been successful in working out a process based upon an entirely new principle, automatic and simple, and capable of producing pictures which may take rank among the finest engravings. By means of this invention a photograph may be taken, and within two hours afterwards a plate produced for the copperplate, lithographic, or typographic press, and at an expense almost nominal. Yesterday, at the laboratory of Mr Sutton, a practical demonstration of the process was given to members of the press and other gentlemen interested. Among those present were — Professor Alf. Mica Smith, B.Sc., Mr '''W. P. Bechervaise''', Mr A. S. Burbidge, Mr F. W. Niven, Mr J. Curtis, Mr Jas. Oldham, and others. The process was explained and illustrated in its various details, and the demonstration was watched throughout with the greatest interest. The first step lay, of course, in the taking of a photograph, and in order to show what was possible with the Suttontype process, the inventor photographed a group of the gentlemen present on an ordinary dry plate. The photo in one respect differed from an ordinary negative, in that it was taken through another glass, with ruled lines intersecting one another, producing a kind of "grain," intended to cause sufficient relief on the Sutton-type block to allow it to be printed from without interfering with the different gradations of light and shadow. The "dry-plate" picture was treated, and then placed on a kind of tray heated by a gas jet, and the company invited to watch it. With the drying process the picture, before invisible, rose up on the surface of the plate in little ridges, while it presented all the appearances of an engraved block. Herein lies the whole fundamental principle of the Sutton-type, viz., in the discovery of a property in the gelatine under certain conditions, which does the work of the artist's graver in one-hundredth part of the time, and as finely and well as by the skilled workman. Mr Sutton explains that the gelatine in those places is unaffected by the light and melted, and drawn up into the other lines and stipples by a species of capillary attraction. This power he proved to be proportionate to the action of light, and therefore each little dot or line will automatically graduate itself in proportion to the action of light, and will be in gradation of size an exact counterpart of the half tones in the original. The time taken over this portion of the process was a little over three minutes. Another plate, with a copy of the engraving of Miss Mary Anderson, was prepared in about the same time. The plates are now ready, and have but to be electrotyped and mounted before they are printed from. The electrotyping was next shown, though the time was insufficient to prepare any of the plates previous treated. A number of others were in the bath, the electrotyping being done by a dynamo electric machine driven by water-power. In a third room were exhibited a number of intaglio copper plates and relief blocks, together with some excellent specimens of illustrations printed from both. In order to show how well they could be printed from along with type, a large number of circulars with a reproduction of a photograph of Gippsland scenery in the centre were run through a platen machine in the presence of the party. Another excellent little picture of a scene on the Mitchell River was printed from the stone in the lithographic press, and this closed the practical portion of the demonstration. At the invitation of the inventor (Mr Sutton), the party then sat down to an excellent luncheon, catered for by Mr McIntyre. Mr '''Bechervaise''' occupied the chair, and a number of toasts were proposed and honored. The chairman, after the usual loyal toasts, proposed the health of Mr Sutton, the inventor. He had taken great pleasure in watching Mr Sutton, and was very pleased that he had been afforded the opportunity of being present. They had spent a most interesting two hours, and he had great pleasure in congratulating Mr Sutton on his achievement. Mr Sutton, in reply, remarked that the demonstration was not given for any commercial reasons. He had invited them to witness experiments with a new thing in science and practice. The object of doing this in this manner was that the members of the Press, from whom he had received many requests, might have the opportunity of seeing the process. They saw some of the commonest and of the best. He was quite satisfied with his latest type block, that of Miss Anderson, because when he finished that he was in the position he had previously expected to be in five years hence. It was only necessary now to pass the process over to the professional photographer, the electrotyper, to secure better results. Professional men in each of the various branches must make an improvement. In referring to his early experiments, Mr Sutton said Mr Ellery had seen some a few days after the first experiment, and was immensely pleased. Professor Smith and Mr Ellery had both known all along of his discovery. He did not believe in the men who, when they could not perhaps take advantage of a discovery, kept it to themselves, and thus many a valuable discovery had been lost. The world had gone back in this way. His process was a remarkably simple thing. It needed no experience: a man required no art, and the cost was very little. He thanked them for their kind expressions towards him. Professor Smith remarked that he had great pleasure in being present to see the process. He had had the great fortune to have the confidence of Mr Sutton, and he had watched the process since its inception to the present time. He had seen that it had a great future before it, and from the way it had developed, they could expect that when each part of the process got into the hands of a professional man the development might proceed to very remarkable results. He had to congratulate Mr Sutton on the result of his labors. Mr F. W. Niven said he had had pleasure in assisting Mr Sutton in some of his experiments, and was delighted to see him take the subject up. He knew it was in the right hands, but in working the thing out there had been a great many difficulties to contend against. He had scarcely thought it could have been worked on a cylinder machine. When good men got to work on each department better results even would be obtained. Still it was proved that it could be worked on a cylinder machine. The artist would still have a finger in the pie, however, and must touch up the pictures in order to obtain the best results. He was delighted with the result of the day's experiments. It not an easy thing to produce a good photograph, and many of the defects were not the defects of Mr Sutton's process, but defects of photography. He had great pleasure in congratulating Mr Sutton. Mr James Oldham remarked that this was the great aid of reproductive art. France seemed to be leading the way, and science and art were going more hand in hand. Commercially Mr Sutton's invention was of great value. They saw good pictures in the magazines of art and illustrated journals, but they were so dear. They did not illustrate the newspapers because it could not be done cheaply enough. Mr Sutton's process would supply a want, and give the advantage of cheapness, where he thought it was capable of improvement was in the matter of refinement. There were immense possibilities before it, and, he wished to congratulate Mr Sutton on it. Mr Sutton said his aim had not been so much to produce high-class pictures as to supply illustrations for printers with the ordinary press. He had sacrificed the first in order to obtain latter. This was the fourth process he had invented during the past three years. It was the cheapest, probably the best. A block would cost about the same as the composition of type to occupy the same space. His was a dry-plate process, which was a great advantage. The difficulty had been to produce the half-tones, and this he had overcome. An apology was received, for the absence of Professor Ellery, Government Astronomer, from the proceedings.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209442407 |title=THE SUTTONTYPE PHOTO-ENGRAVING PROCESS. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=129 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=31 May 1888 |accessdate=14 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends Ballarat City Mayoral Ball, partnered by his daughter
<blockquote>'''THE CITY MAYORAL BALL.''' The annual ball given by the Mayor of the City took place last evening at the Alfred Hall, and proved a brilliant success. The weather was wintry and stormy, but this did not apparently have any effect on the attendance, no fewer than 278 couples were present, including many of the leading residents of this and other districts. Contrary to expectations the popular mayor of the city, the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel W. C. Smith, M.L.A., was able to attend, but owing to his weak state of health was unable to join in the festivities. Among those present were also the Premier, the hon. Duncan Gillies, the Hon. Henry Cuthbert, Minister of Justice; the Hon. J. P. McPherson, M.L.C., the Hon. D. M. Davies, and Messrs C. E. Jones, R. T. Vale, and B. J. Fink, M's.L.A. The usual traffic arrangements were observed, and Grenville street north was closed to ordinary traffic after 8 o'clock. The vehicles arriving with guests formed a continuous procession along the north side of Sturt street, depositing their passengers in rotation at the entrance to the hall. The interior of the building was handsomely decorated, and the stage, with the fountain in full spray made the scene a most pleasing one. A programme of about 20 dances were arranged, and dancing was indulged in to the excellent music provided by a capable band under the leadership of Mr H. West. The whole of the arrangements were of the most complete order. A special apartment was set apart for the ladies' refreshments throughout the evening, and smoking and card rooms for the gentlemen were taken advantage of. Owing to the want of the requisite accommodation for such a large number of guests, supper was served in relays, the first relay being served at 11.30 p.m. Mr McIntyre, of Bridge street, was the caterer, and gave every satisfaction. The hall was, on the whole, one of the most brilliant yet given by the occupants of the city mayoral chair. The programme of dances was as follows:— 1. Waltz 11. Quadrille 2. Quadrille 12. Polka 3. Schottische 13. Lancers 4. Lancers 14. Waltz 5. Polka 15. Polka Mazurka 6. Waltz 16. Alberts 7. Quadrille 17. Schottische 8. Waltz 18. Waltz 9. Lancers 19. Parisienne 10. Galop 20.

Bechervaise's passing over for promotion raised in Legislative Assembly
<blockquote>'''PARLIAMENT. LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.''' Tuesday, 17th July. The Speaker took the chair at half-past 4 o'clock. . . . THE PUBLIC SERVICE. Colonel Smith moved the order of the House on the question of promotions in the Public Service. He had correspondence in his hands which would prove that in one department at least members of a certain family were promoted over the heads of their seniors; and in a case he would submit the postmaster of Ballarat, Mr '''Bechervaise''', was unjustly ignored. A chief inspector was wanted, and instead of the senior officer getting the appointment the position was given to a Mr Caldwell on the recommendation of his brother-in-law, Mr Smibert. During Mr Patterson's term of office the Postal Department was in an unsatisfactory condition, and Mr '''Bechervaise''' was brought to Melbourne to reorganise it, but his abilities had been reflected upon because Mr Caldwell was related to Mr Smibert. The Public Service Board had remonstrated against the job, and he hoped the Government would not allow such a state of affairs to continue. Mr Langridge — Does Mr '''Bechervaise''' object to leave Ballarat? Colonel Smith — Not at all. It was a disgrace the manner in which Mr '''Bechervaise''' had been passed over. He was admitted to be an efficient officer, but could not fill this position because he was not related to a still higher officer in the Public Service. As they had a Public Service Act it should be carried out in its entirety. Sir Bryan O'Loghlen said that during his two years of office Mr '''Bechervaise''' held a high and responsible position, and proved himself an able and reliable officer. Mr '''Bechervaise''' might have a good action at law, but that would be expensive, and if he won it the Government would of course appeal to the Privy Council. As another instance of the manner in which the Public Service Board does its work. Mr Bell, the best Government shorthand writer, was appointed Registrar of County Courts and Chief Clerk in Insolvency because he deserved promotion, but Mr Lynch, who was qualified to fill the position and had been in the department for 35 years, was offered promotion also — the board offered to make him short-hand writer, although the man had never written a sentence of shorthand in his life. Mr Lynch had to refuse the promotion, and according to the Act he has lost his right to that promotion through having refused. Mr Vale supported the motion, and also complained of unfair transfers and irregular promotions. It seemed that there was a lot of patronage in connection with the transfers, and this matter rested entirely with the heads of the departments. He thought a committee should be appointed to enquire into the manner in which transfer and promotions are made. Mr Field thought there was something wrong when a head of a department was called upon to report on the merits of his relatives. So far as he could see, the intentions of Parliament in passing the Act had not been carried out, and they had built up a much worse form of patronage. It would be better to revert to the old system than to allow officers to give patronage to their relatives. The system of transferring men accustomed to dealing with lunatices, and the Customs Department to deal with importers was not a success; but there were other grounds of complaint, and the House should see that patronage was not exercised by heads of departments and the Public Service Board, while the question of private practice should be placed on a more satisfactory basis. Mr Graves contended that a committee should be appointed to enquire into the working of the Act, as the Public Service was deteriorating. Mr Gaunson said that hon. members of the House must admit that there were unfair and undue promotions. Mr Derham said he did not propose to answer the general charges against the working of the Public Service Act, but would confine his reply to the case of Mr '''Bechervaise'''. The member for Ballarat was wrong in some of his facts, as Mr '''Bechervaise''' had been brought to Melbourne to supervise the telegraph branch, and that did not qualify him for the position of chief of the inspecting branch. He did not see that because a man was related to the permanent head he should have his way to promotion barred. The Public Service Board had recommended Mr '''Bechervaise''' as qualified by seniority, and asked the permanent head of the department if he was otherwise fitted for the position. He believed that there was no man in the department qualified so well as Mr Caldwell to take charge of the mail service. Mr Caldwell had actually joined the service two years before Mr '''Bechervaise''', but the latter was transferred to the second class two years before Mr Caldwell, and as the board pointed out Mr '''Bechervaise''' was the senior officer. Even if there had been no Mr Caldwell he could not have appointed Mr '''Bechervaise''' to the position, although he had a high opinion of that gentleman's abilities, and would be pleased to promote him in a suitable way. Mr Jones said the Postal was a family department, and the brother-in-law influence was all power. The Postmaster-General had unfairly indulged in inuendoes at the expense of Mr '''Bechervaise'''. Mr Patterson said the concluding remark of the Minister confirmed Mr '''Bechervaise's''' merit, and he was surprised that it had not been suitably recognised before. The motion for adjournment was then negatived.

Ballarat Star opinion piece on the previous
<blockquote>IN the Assembly on Tuesday Colonel Smith, upon a formal motion, brought a very grave charge against the administration of the Victorian Public Service Act, a charge which included a very serious injustice to one of our most esteemed citizens. In November, 1887, the chief inspectorship of the Postal department became vacant by the demise of Mr McGowan. For the position thus open Mr '''Bechervaise''', our local post and telegraph master, had unquestionably prior claims on the joint score of seniority and merit. The only other candidate was Mr Caldwell, a brother-in-law of the Deputy Postmaster-General. It is not denied that Mr '''Bechervaise's''' claims on the point of seniority are indisputable, but in spite of this his pretensions have been disallowed by the Minister at the instance of the Deputy Postmaster-General. A very important point in the whole affair is that the Public Service Board, whose function it is to settle points of seniority and routine, submitted the name of Mr '''Bechervaise''' to the Postmaster-General as being entitled to fill the vacancy. All that was wanted to complete the choice was a formal endorsement by the head of the department that the officer nominated was qualified to perform the duties to be undertaken. Up to this point the proceedings call for no comment, but now there comes a letter from Mr Smibert, Deputy P.G., in reply to the requirement of the Civil Service Board, in which letter there is the following passage:— "The position named should be filled by some officer of approved ability, who has had experience and training in the inspecting branch. As Mr '''Bechervaise''', though an excellent officer in many respects, and no doubt eligible for promotion in other directions in the department, does not possess the requisite qualifications. Mr Derham thinks it would not be in the interests of the department to promote that officer to the position of chief inspector." So far as we can gather from a careful reading of the case as stated, Mr '''Bechervaise's''' only lack was that of long personal acquaintance with the routine of the mail branch. And it is a little singular that, while the personal excellence, high administrative ability, and mastery of routine possessed by Mr '''Bechervaise''' are admitted all round, and by none more emphatically than by Mr Derham himself, the only counter plea on behalf of Mr Caldwell is that he is versed in a special branch of routine, a matter which common justice to our local postmaster compels us to assume he would master in a very few days. Nevertheless, Mr Derham has taken upon himself to set aside the nomination of the Public Service Board, and has suggested to them that they shall, by submitting another name, not only stultify their previous action, but, in doing so effect the additional anomaly of promoting a junior officer over the head of his senior. As to the right of a Minister to override the functions of the Public Service Board, it may be assumed to exist under only very special and singular conditions. For example if the claims of seniority were, in a given vacancy, vested in a candidate notoriously unfit for the position, the country would endorse the action of a Minister who, having to choose between efficiency and routine, let the routine go. But under no other circumstances would a Minister be justified in setting aside an old and efficient officer, and reversing the action of the Public Service Board. It was flatly declared by Colonel Smith in the Assembly that Mr Smibert had persistently striven to secure the appointment for his brother-in-law, and it must be admitted that the relationship is, under the circumstances, an unfortunate coincidence. The Victorian public does not want any snug family arrangements in connection with its Civil Service, and would make short work of any which appeared. The case, as it stands, amounts to a declaration by Mr Derham that Mr '''Bechervaise''' is incompetent for the duties to which he succeeds by right of seniority, backed up by a faultless, we might say brilliant, official and personal record. An allegation so serious, and so manifestly unjust, is not to be sustained or excused by any bunkum about a "due regard to the interests of the department." It is an insult to Mr '''Bechervaise's''' well-known capacity to pretend that a matter of routine is beyond his ready acquirement, and this in the face of the fact that the late Mr McGowan, than whom none had a shrewder appreciation of efficient service, chose Mr '''Bechervaise''' to come to Melbourne to help the Telegraph department out of a muddle, or the fact that he accomplished the task with conspicuous ability and success. It is perhaps well for Mr Derham, well for the reputation of our public service routine, and well in the interests of common justice, that it is not too late to straighten this bungle. The nomination made by Mr Derham, at the suggestion of Mr Smibert, is not yet ratified by the Executive, and Ministers have an opportunity of avoiding a false and exceedingly unpleasant position. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209444803 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=171 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=19 July 1888 |accessdate=16 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Further opinion by the Melbourne Leader
<blockquote>'''THE WEEK.''' The discussion in the Assembly over the Public Service Board threw a curious light on the peculiar manner in which the automatic method of promotion adopted under the new system sometimes works. The regulations require that promotion shall go by seniority and merit, and so an officer, when his turn comes, is transferred to a new position without any regard for his fitness for the particular post. Naturally, occasions arise which give some very funny illustrations of the square peg in a round hole. Sir Bryan O'Loghlen mentioned one or two of these, and he has by no means exhausted the list. When Mr. Bartrop was appointed a police magistrate the vacancy was created of registrar of the County Court, and this office was subsequently joined with that of Chief Clerk of Insolvency. It might have been supposed that for a position involving the discharge of legal duties the choice would have fallen upon some official who had undergone previous training in this branch. Not so. The Public Service Board examined their list, and discovered that Mr. George Bell, the head of the Shorthand Writers department, was due for promotion, and straightway he was transferred from a post for which his life's training had fitted him to one in which he was more ignorant than the junior clerks in his new office. To complete the comedy the board then offered the position of shorthand writer to an officer in the Sheriff's branch who had never written a line of shorthand in his life. Other examples scarcely less crass in their stupidity might be given. The Public Service Board claim, no doubt, that they are guided by the law, and Ministers plead the same excuse. A remarkable fact, however, is that the law is not like that of the Medes and Persians — unalterable, as Mr. '''Bechervaise''' has found to his cost. Mr. Derham maintains that, notwithstanding the board, he acted in the best interests of the department he administers. This may be so; but if it was possible for him to act in this manner, are not Ministers who have let blunders in the past go by really responsible? <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article196422595 |title=THE WEEK. |newspaper=[[Leader]] |issue=1697 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=21 July 1888 |accessdate=16 December 2020 |page=25 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
A further report in the Australasian
<blockquote>'''PARLIAMENT. LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.''' TUESDAY, JULY 17. APPOINTMENTS IN THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT. Colonel SMITH moved the adjournment of the House for the purpose of calling attention to the way in which appointments were being made in the public service. He particularly referred to the appointment of chief inspector of the Postal department, correspondence in reference to which had been laid on the table of the House. Mr. '''Bechervaise''', the postmaster at Ballarat, was entitled to the position by seniority, but Mr. Smibert, the deputy postmaster-general, had recommended in the strongest terms that Mr. Caldwell should get the post. Mr. Caldwell was Mr. Smibert's brother-in-law, and some of the communications were grossly insulting to Mr. '''Bechervaise'''. The following letters showed the position of matters:—
"Public Service Board, Melbourne, 18th November, 1887. "Sir,— I have the honour, by direction, to inform you that the board has approved of the request contained in your application for the appointment of a chief inspector in your department, vice Mr. McGowan. I am to state that the board finds that Mr. '''Bechervaise''', postmaster at Ballarat, is entitled by seniority to promotion to the vacancy, and I am to ask if you can state that, in your opinion, Mr. '''Bechervaise''' is fully qualified to perform the duties of the senior office, as required by section 41 sub-section 4 of Act 773.— I have, &c., "H. T. GOMM, Secretary.
"The Hon. the Postmaster-General." "Post and Telegraph Department, General Post-office, Melbourne, 24th December, 1887. "Sir,— With reference to your communication of the 18th ult., inquiring whether Mr. '''Bechervaise''' is fully qualified for the position of chief inspector in this department, I am instructed by the hon. the Postmaster-General to inform you that, in his opinion, the position named should be filled by some officer of approved ability, who has had experience and training in the inspecting branch. As Mr. '''Bechervaise''', though an excellent officer in many respects, and no doubt eligible for promotion in other directions in the department, does not possess the requisite qualifications, Mr. Derham thinks it would not be in the interests of the department to promote that officer to the position of chief inspector. "JAMES SMIBERT, "Deputy Postmaster-General.
"The Secretary Public Service Board" Mr. '''Bechervaise''' was a man of proved ability. He had been brought down to Melbourne to reorganise the Telegraph department, and had performed special work for two years afterwards, being transferred to Ballarat as a promotion. If the appointment of Mr. Caldwell were persisted in it would set a bad example to the whole department, and would show that promotion depended upon relationship.
Mr. Zox.— What about the Public Service Board? Colonel SMITH.— The Public Service Board remonstrated with the Postmaster-General, as the correspondence showed. It was evident that the department saw the injustice of placing Mr. Caldwell over the head of Mr. Bechervaise, for it asked the Public Service Board to get them out of the difficulty, and the board declined to do so, on the ground that there was no provision for the purpose. Their reply to the request was:—
"With reference to your letter of the 2nd inst., No. 392, inquiring whether any provision could be made whereby Mr. Bechervaise, who is at present senior to Mr. Caldwell, would retain his seniority after the promotion of the latter officer to the first class, I have the honour, by direction, to inform you that the board is not aware of any provision under which a second class officer could be made senior to a first class officer."
Except for some extraordinary reason a senior officer should not have been passed over and insulted by being informed that he was not competent to perform duties which he had performed for years and years. The impression left on his (Colonel Smith's) mind was that an officer who had influential relatives high up in the service would be promoted whether he had seniority or not. Sir BRYAN O'LOGHLEN bore testimony to the ability of Mr. '''Bechervaise''', who had received a slur which should not have been cast upon a man of his character and experience. The Public Service Board was above the House, and practically above the law. He had been behind the scenes, and could give some instances which showed how the board worked. When Mr. Bartrop, the registrar of the County Court, and clerk of the peace, was appointed police magistrate, Mr. George Bell, a gentleman invaluable as a shorthand writer, was appointed to the vacancy, though, through want of legal knowledge, it would take Mr. Bell a considerable time to learn the duties of his office. The vacancy created by the promotion of Mr. Bell was offered to Mr. Lynch, who for many years had held a position in the sheriff's office — (laughter) — though he had never written a sentence of shorthand in his life. (Laughter.) Mr. Harrison, a gentleman in the Customs department was promoted to a high position in the Titles office, though he had never seen a title deed unless he had had the document handed to him by a lawyer. Mr. VALE said that injustice had been done to Mr. '''Bechervaise'''. The whole proceedings of the Public Service Board had been a scandal and a disgrace to the country. Mr. WOODS said there was nothing that a "chuckle-headed chump" could not do in the Post-office department if be had relations or friends to put him there. Mr. Derham said he proposed only to deal with the special matter referred to by Colonel Smith. He concurred in everything that had been said as to the high character and ability of Mr. '''Bechervaise'''. But the good work done by Mr. '''Bechervaise''' in the telegraph branch did not qualify him to fill the position of chief inspector. On the other hand, the just claims of a man should not be disregarded because he was connected by marriage with the deputy postmaster general. The matter of the appointment came up in November last through the formal application of the deputy postmaster-general to the Public Service Board to fill up the vacancy which existed in the chief inspectorship. The board replied in the same month that Mr. '''Bechervaise''' was entitled to the position by seniority. (Opposition cheers.) They therefore asked the permanent head if he could certify to his fitness for the office. The permanent head could not do that conscientiously and with a due regard to the interests of the department. No man in the department from one end to the other, even including the deputy postmaster-general, could take charge of the inspector's branch with such ability and give such satisfaction as Mr. Caldwell. (Cheers.) If he had placed Mr. '''Bechervaise''' in the office of chief inspector he would, indeed, have put a round peg into a square hole. Mr. '''Bechervaise''' entered the service in December, 1856, and Mr. Caldwell in December, 1854, so that the latter officer really had been in Government employ two years longer than Mr. '''Bechervaise''', but in regard to the class in which they were graded Mr. '''Bechervaise''' stood in a better position, having been ranked a second class officer on July 1, 1879, while Mr. Caldwell was only appointed to the same class on July 1, 1881. He could not in the public interest make an appointment which would throw the department into confusion. After further discussion, the motion for the adjournment was negatived.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article142920681 |title=PARLIAMENT. |newspaper=[[The Australasian]] |volume=XLV, |issue=1164 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=21 July 1888 |accessdate=16 December 2020 |page=40 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise a "contributor" to the Ballarat District Hospital and attends annual meeting
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT DISTRICT HOSPITAL.''' The annual meeting of governors and contributors was held at the Mechanics' Institute last night; Mr A. White (president) in the chair. Annual Report.— The past year has not been characterised by any unusual incident, from a business point of view, requiring special comment, with the exception of a suggestion by the honorary medical and surgical staff to adopt the principle of employing female nurses in place of wardsmen. Particulars in connection with this question will be alluded to in due course. In accordance with customary practices the following statistics are submitted:— 1071 patients (771 males and 300 females) have been admitted into the several wards of the Hospital. The outdoor patients attending for medical aid and medicine number 2758 (1227 males and 1531 females), the total of their visits to the institution numbering 12,132. The deaths for the year are 102 (66 males and 36 females), of these 66 were buried by friends and 36 by the Hospital as destitute. The system of charging a registration fee of sixpence for outdoor patients (unless totally indigent) was inaugurated on 3rd May, 1886, and continues to work most satisfactorily, proving an important addition to the Hospital revenue, without unduly pressing upon the recipients of the benefits conferred. During the month of October, 1887, the honorary medical and surgical staff advocated the desirability of gradually introducing a system of female nurses throughout the Hospital, in place of wardsmen hitherto employed, and also of establishing a school for nurses, trainees, &c., in connection with the institution. It was argued by those having experience that in the United Kingdom, the Continent, and in most parts of the civilised world, female nurses in hospitals were the rule, and wardsmen the exception. This was a question mainly in the hands of the honorary professional staff, the committee merely looking to probable cost, and supplying the necessary funds. It will take time to complete such a pronounced change, as fresh arrangements, to suit the altered state of affairs, must be made for the accommodation of nurses and trainees. Moreover, certain natural prejudices as regards patients treated, have to be encountered, and gradually surmounted. It is, however, quite natural to imagine that the change will be for the better, as we have all read that "when pain and anguish wring the brow" the ministering angel should be a woman. The system will at once be tried, and by degrees adopted. . . . The Election for Honorary Surgeon — Mr '''Bechervaise''' moved that, as all the other surgeons nominated were aspirants for the position vacated by Dr Bradford, and Dr Ochiltree was therefore really unopposed, he be declared elected. After the motion had been seconded and briefly discussed, the chairman ruled that he could not receive it. Thanks.— A vote of thanks was passed to the retiring president, on the motion of Mr J. J. Fitzgerald, seconded by Mr Hunter, who both spoke eulogistically of Mr White. That gentleman briefly replied, thanking the committee for the assistance they had rendered him. He moved a hearty vote of thanks to the salaried officers, namely, the resident surgeon, the secretary, and the matron (Mrs Neilson), speaking in very warm terms of praise of the last named. Mr Phillips seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr P. Papenhagen moved a hearty vote of thanks to the honorary medical officers. This by Mr Foley and carried. The meeting then closed.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209445271 |title=BALLARAT DISTRICT HOSPITAL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=178 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=27 July 1888 |accessdate=16 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise attends opening of new gold processing plant at School of Mines, proposes toast to James Oddie, excellent history of School of Mines
<blockquote>'''STARTING OF MACHINERY AT THE SCHOOL OF MINES.''' On Saturday afternoon there was a large muster at the School of Mines of those interested in that institution, to witness the starting of the machinery driving the crushing battery and accompanying appliances for the extraction of gold just erected at the school. The ceremony was performed by Lieut.-Col. the Hon. W. C. Smith, Mayor of the City. The engine having been started, the Major dashed a bottle of champagne against the flywheel, and called for cheers, which were given lustily. The company then adjourned to the telegraphy room, where others joined them, there being altogether about 100 persons present, including many who are prominently connected with mining in Ballarat. The chair was occupied by Mr A. Anderson, J.P., vice-president of the School of Mines, while the members of the council of the school and other prominent citizens occupied seats on the platform. The chairman said he was sure he expressed the opinion of all people of all shades of opinion when he said he was glad the mayor's health was sufficiently improved to enable him to be amongst them. (Applause.) The eminent services he had rendered the School of Mines, thereby bringing some obloquy on himself, were such that no more fitting gentleman could be asked to perform the ceremony of starting the machinery. (Applause.) Colonel Smith, whose appearance on his feet was the signal for renewed applause, thanked the council of the school for the honor they had conferred on him. His first duty, he remarked, would be to give the engine a name, and he had much pleasure in calling it the "Andrew Anderson." (Applause.) He did not think he could have selected a better name. Mr Anderson was one of the most active members of the council which had managed the affairs of the school for so many years with such success. He (the speaker) had had the privilege of placing the school, when it was in difficulties, on a better basis. It had now been a going concern for 18 years. It seemed to him only the other day since it was inaugurated. At the same time, it was decided to open a School of Mines at Sandhurst; thenceforth they were to some extent rivals. Without disparaging the Sandhurst institution, he might say that the Ballarat school had worked its way by useful work. They had been extremely fortunate in getting gentlemen of position and influence to take an interest in the institution and to work for it. Amongst these he might mention Mr (then judge) Rogers, Q.C., the first vice-president, who rendered invaluable assistance in framing the constitution and statutes. When he (the speaker) was Minister of Mines and Education there were only £2000 devoted to the two schools, which was allotted on the proportion of the money raised locally, so that sometimes Ballarat and sometimes Sandhurst got the greater share. He raised the amount to £4000, giving each school £2000. (Applause.) For the last two years the sum had been raised to £6000. He made the increase on one simple condition, that had been happily responded to by the Ballarat school. He desired to see it raised to a kind of intermediary school, between the State schools and the university. The condition was that State school pupils should be able to come to the school, and under much easier terms than others be able to avail themselves of the advantages afforded by its course of teaching. He had been asked to read a brief statistical statement, giving the history of the school. He might remark that a number of pupils, after going through their course here, now occupied high positions in this and other colonies. The numbers that had gone through would be found startling, considering the basis on which it was started. (Applause). Mr Harrie Wood, Secretary for Mines at New South Wales, who had obtained the position on the recommendation of the Premier, Mr Serjeant, and others, was an old pupil at the school. The mayor here read the statistical statement prepared for him, as follows:— "The Ballarat School of Mines is the parent institution of its kind in the colony (? colonies) and it is pleasing to observe, without disparagement to kindred institutions, that it continues in the van of progress to maintain the premier position. Now in the 18th year of its existence, an exhaustive review of the history of the school would occupy more time than is at present at our disposal. A very brief epitome, however, may not be uninteresting, more especially in regard to the progress made, and the record of successful work accomplished. On the 6th October, 1869, upon the suggestion of Mr Harrie Wood, the Ballarat Mining Board, on the motion of Mr J. M. Bickett, resolved that a School of Mines should be established. The motion having been adopted, the board at once solicited the co-operation of His Honor (the late) Sir Redmond Barry and His Honor Judge Rogers, and these gentlemen having consented to render every assistance in their power, Sir Redmond Barry accepted the position of provisional president, and Judge Rogers the position of provisional vice-president. The draft outline of the constitution having been prepared by the provisional vice-president, with the assistance of Messrs Bickett and Wood, was adopted by the Ballarat Mining Board on the 25th January, 1870. An application made by the provisional council for a lease of the building formerly used as the Circuit courthouse was favorably entertained by the Government, and a lease for 15 years at a nominal rental was granted on the 7th April, 1870, to the trustees of the school. On the 26th October, 1870, his Honor Sir Redmond Barry delivered the inaugural address, and on the same date, at a meeting of the governors and subscribers, the provisional constitution, by which his Excellency the Governor became the visitor, his Honor Sir Redmond Berry the president, and his Honor Judge Rogers the vice-president, was adopted. Under this constitution, and in accordance therewith, the operations of the school were carried on until the 2nd September last, when a revised constitution rendered necessary to meet the conditions embodied in the statute of affiliation to the University of Melbourne, passed in April of the same year, was adopted. The school now enjoys the distinction of being the only provincial institution in the colony having an organic connection with the university. In April, 1884, the council were successful in obtaining the Crown grant, the only condition imposed being that the land and buildings thereon shall be at all times hereafter maintained and used as and for an institution for public instruction known as the Ballarat School of Mines and Industries. In February, 1884, a special grant of £2000 for buildings was received from the Government. This amount, supplement by subsequent grants, has been absorbed in the erection and equipment of classrooms, laboratories, machinery, &c. A contract to purchase the building and land adjoining the school reserve from the trustees of the Wesleyan Church was executed, and a deposit of £200 paid on the 14th January, 1885. The building is devoted entirely to the purposes of a museum, and is open daily (free) to the public. The progress of the school is further indicated by the immense increase in the number of students attending the various classes. In 1871, the first year of its existence, the average number in attendance during the four terms was 10. In 1880, the tenth year of its existence, the average number was 90. Inclusive of State school teachers and pupils the number last year (1887) had increased to an average 820, whilst during the first two terms of the present session (1888), the average has increased to 932. At the present time there are 50 students in the mining managers' class, 96 in the metallurgical and chemical laboratories, 68 in the mechanical, engineering, and drawing classes. About 20 have joined a new class recently formed for instruction in engine-driving. There are 59 learning telegraphy, 40 receiving instruction in mathematics, botany, pharmacy, &c., 15 in mineralogy and geology, and about 800 State school pupils (nine schools) are provided with a weekly lecture on elementary chemistry and physics. Besides all this, the school does a very large amount of work for the public in the way of determining sample specimens submitted, advising and furnishing reports thereon, performing mineral and bullion assays for this and the adjoining colonies at the rate of about 70 a month. The present success of the school is doubtless due in a very great measure to the intelligence, efficiency, and zeal of its staff. Students are attracted here from all parts of the colony and from the neighboring colonies — Melbourne, Geelong, and other students not residents of Ballarat number about 87, whilst from South Australia and New South Wales there are at the present time eight students in the school; Queensland has been represented here on several occasions by two or three students. The mining laboratory we inaugurate today has been erected with a two-fold object in view — the first being to furnish students with the means of practical instruction in the various processes of ore dressing and milling operations, such as crushing by stamping and grinding, washing, amalgamating, roasting, smelting, refining, &c.; and secondly, to meet the numerous demands made upon the school by the public for the treatment of test samples of auriferous and other ores. The council propose to make this plant complete by the addition of the most modern suitable appliances, including the Newberry-Vautin process for the extraction of gold by chlorination, and a water-jacket cubelow for the treatment of silver ores, &c. The plant already erected consists of two one-head rotary batteries, mercury wells, blanket tables, two Halley's patent percussion tables, two Berdan grinders, amalgamating barrel, shaking table, Chilian mill, roasting and retort furnaces, settling pits, &c., &c., the motive power being supplied by a 12 h.p. Clerke’s patent gas engine, capable of working up to 18 or 20 h.p. if required. The school is greatly indebted to Mr Peter Matthews for the invaluable services in connection with the erection of this plant, the whole of the work having been executed under his immediate supervision and in accordance with plans and specifications carefully prepared by him. To Messrs Rosales, Serjeant, Bland, and other gentlemen who have kindly assisted the council with invaluable advice — the result of long practical experience — the school thankfully acknowledges the assistance rendered. It is now my pleasant duty to declare this laboratory open for the instruction of the students at this institution, and for the treatment of test samples of auriferous and other ores for the public, with a view to the promotion of the mining industry." He thought the fact that the Ballarat School of Mines held such a high position was because they had had more difficulties to contend with on this than on any other goldfield. It was, too, because they had men like Mr Serjeant, who had more experience and knowledge than any man he knew, whose indomitable energy and enterprise had crowned the company he represented with permanent success. He had been informed that Cr Morey had presented the school with another steam engine. (Applause.) When men possessed of public spirit like this — men with a thorough knowledge of mining, and public men — were anxious to assist the school in every way, they could look hopefully forward to the future. He had received a telegram that day from Mr Gillies, stating that he would be in Ballarat on Friday next, and if time would permit he was certain he would visit the school. He was very sorry that the Premier's manifold engagements had prevented him from being present that day. In conclusion, he wished the School of Mines every success. (Applause.) Mr Rosales, on being called upon, said it was a long time since he had labored in Ballarat. He had great pleasure in meeting so many representative men on such an occasion. He had been 18 or 20 years away now. What he saw here he made use of where he had been, and what experience he had gained elsewhere he was pleased to be able to place at the assistance of the school in this new work that had been undertaken. (Applause.) He was glad to see that some of his opinions had met with the approval of the council and also of the practical and technical men like Messrs Serjeant, Bland, &c. Mr Serjeant expressed great pleasure at seeing Colonel Smith in better health. Mr Rosales many years ago was one of the first to point out, when the Red Hill was being worked, that the washdirt was of a different period of formation from that in the gutters. He (Mr Rosales) first called attention to the older pliocene wash. If his services were now availed of to point out where such might be expected to be found, it would result in great good, as he understood the subject thoroughly. With regard to the battery they had started that day, it would supply a great want in the way of practically teaching pupils and testing quartz. Previously, all such tests were made by assay, which was unsatisfactory, for when the stone came to be treated in bulk the result was disappointing. Now similar results would be obtained to what should be got by any crushing plant. (Applause.) With regard to the increase in the mining managers' class, it was most satisfactory. That class had only been in existence nine months. The first quarter it was filled by young men working at their mines. They had about a dozen of the young men in the Band and Albion mine attending it, and they strove to encourage them all they could by promoting them as soon as they were able. In this way they would encourage the others to join. The engine given by Mr Morey would be productive of great good. It was hard to induce old engine-drivers to teach young men, as, when the latter were learning, the old men would be held responsible for any mistakes they might make. This difficulty they would be able to get over by having engine-driving practically taught by Mr Dover, who would take the engine to pieces, and acquaint the young men with each part. He would like Mr Rosales' services to be availed of to go over Ballarat East, which, he believed, if well-directed efforts were carried out, would prove one of the finest goldfields in the colony. If the Jubilee Company would only keep sinking their shaft and crosscut persistently, and two or three other companies would do the same, they would open up such a field as had not been known in the colony before. It had paid the Band and Albion Company to carry out this policy, and it would pay just as well at Ballarat East. No man could carry out this system so well as one who had been thoroughly trained. He hoped the time would come when all miners would be trained, and that mining would take its true stand as skilled labor. He congratulated the School of Mines on the success it had hitherto achieved, and would do his best to forward its interest in the future. (Applause.) Mr Theos. Williams, Mayor of Ballarat East, fully endorsed Mr Serjeant's remarks about that field. He wanted to induce his directors and shareholders to have the same confidence as had been shown in Sandhurst, and sink deep. They had an example of the benefits of such mining on the other side, in the territory ruled over by Mr Serjeant, and he would like to see it in the territory he ruled over. He would like to see not only two but a dozen or more shafts going down from 1000 to 1500 feet at Ballarat East. If the shareholders would only pay the calls they would succeed as well in the east as they had done in the west. He hoped a deputation would wait upon Mr Gillies on Friday and ask him for £10,000 for the school. (Applause.) That was a very moderate request; they thought nothing of £90,000 or £100,000 in Melbourne. It was for practical purposes, not for show, and it was for giving instruction to young men that would do them good in future life. (Applause). Mr R. T. Vale said he recognised the value of the School of Mines. They had long wanted a place where a moderately large parcel of stone could be tried. He (the speaker) was one of the first to pass through a class at the School of Mines, and had found the knowledge very useful. They stood in one of the richest goldfields in the colony. He had paid 70 or 80 calls into one mine. They sank 1400 feet before striking payable gold, and before they declared a dividend they proceeded to sink further. If they got £10,000 for the School of Mines, the money would be well spent. (Applause). Archdeacon Julius also made a few appropriate and humorous remarks, referring to Driver Fallow’s plucky conduct at the late railway accident. The chairman apologised for the non-attendance of the Anglican Bishop of Ballarat and the Hon. Henry Gore, M.L.C. Mr E. Morey also addressed those present, referring to the advantages of having a battery where small parcels of stone could be treated to the best advantage. Whatever money was granted to the School of Mines would, he was sure, be returned fourfold. The chairman remarked that thanks were due to Mr Matthews for the careful and thorough manner in which the battery had been erected. The company then proceeded to the library, in the main building, where refreshments had been provided. After the toast of the Queen had been honored, Mr '''Bechervaise''' proposed the toast of Mr James Oddie. He remarked that that gentleman was one of the greatest men they had in the School of Mines. Certainly no one had done more or more useful work than he. His time and his money were always at the disposal of the institution. The toast was received with cheers. That of "The officers of the School" having been duly honored, the assemblage dispersed.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209445432 |title=STARTING OF MACHINERY AT THE SCHOOL OF MINES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=180 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=30 July 1888 |accessdate=16 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends demonstration of new lamp powered by a rechargeable battery mainly for mining purposes
<blockquote>'''THE SCHANSCHIEFF ELECTRIC LIGHT.''' A series of interesting experiments were made in Ballarat yesterday with Schanschieff's battery and miners' electric safety lamps, as they are termed. With the liberality and progressiveness that always characterise the directors of the Band and Albion Company, they offered the use of their mine for the experiments, and this was accepted. Miss Alice Cornwell, during her recent visit to England, purchased from the Schanschieff Syndicate the patent and other rights for the colony, and is at present engaged endeavoring to float a company to take over the rights secured by her. The invention is thus described:— "The Schanschieff battery is a single fluid primary battery, thus obviating the use of all machinery to produce the electro motive force, as is the case with secondary batteries, which require to be charged from a dynamo. In its composition the battery is an exceedingly simple combination of carbon-zinc elements charged by a special solution of a salt of mercury invented by Mr Schanschieff. When in action the mercury is deposited in the cells, and is thus not lost, but is easily reinstated in proper solution for fresh use. The batteries and lamps can be readily charged, and zincs replaced, by an ordinary workman or domestic servant, while the carbon plates do not require renewing, and will last an indefinite time. The battery is charged by pouring the solution into the vessel ready to receive it, in the same manner as an ordinary oil lamp is filled, and without the slightest risk of failure or accident, and no knowledge of electricity is needed in the operation. When not in use the zincs and carbons are held suspended out of the solution by a very simple, compact and effective arrangement; so that the battery may be worked intermittently, or may remain out of use for any period of time, without loss of electric energy or consumption of materials." The lights, we may mention, can be used for any purpose for which illuminating power is requisite, but the experiments made yesterday were only with lamps suitable tor use in mines. These were of three classes, namely — the ordinary miners' light, for use in working at the face of the drive, or wherever picking or drilling has to be done; the "pilot" or "search" lamp, for either hanging in drives to illuminate the tramway, or for fixing in front of trucks; and the "plat" lamp, for lighting chambers. The experiments were conducted by the electrician of the company, Mr A. C. F. Webb. One of the Ministers of the Crown (the Hon. D. M. Davies, M.L.A.) and the Secretary for Mines (Mr Langtree), being in Ballarat at the time on other business, they accepted an invitation previously extended to them to be present on the occasion. Amongst others who were present were:— Mr Phil. Robinson, the war correspondent; Mr Lamoor, of England; and Messrs K. M. Sergeant, D. Brophy, J.P., J. Sharpe (central secretary of the A.M.M.A.), Mr R. Bryant (the well-known mining manager), representatives of the press, and others. Mr Webb descended the No. 9 shaft of the mine in the morning, and fixed the necessary apparatus, and in the afternoon the party descended the shaft to the 800-feet level, where the lamps were exhibited. The first test-made was with the miners' lamp. This has an oblong frame, about 8 inches long by 4 inches square with legs on which to stand it, or a handle to hold it by, at each end. The lamp simply requires to be reversed in the hand in order to extinguish it, and the reversal to its original position kindles the light again. It is claimed for the lamp that it gives an illuminating power equal to two candles, and the actual result is very nearly up to that standard, the light emitted being equal to about 1½ candles; in other words, two would equal three candles alight. This lamp gave a bright steady light, eminently suited for the purpose intended. The miners, however, object that in its present form it is somewhat clumsy, and that attachment will be necessary by which it can be fixed in the most advantageous position, and the latter can be changed at will. A candle can, by means of a small piece of clay, be affixed to any portion of the face so as to illuminate the part the workman is engaged on at the particular time. The light emitted is much superior to that of the candle, in that it is brighter and much more steady, but the size rendered necessary by the cells in which the fluid is kept is a drawback in the eyes of the miners. These, however, are minor improvements that the ingenuity of the manufacturer may be safely relied upon to make without delay. It has to be borne in mind that the lamps were made by men who had never been down a mine, and were consequently unable to form any idea of the requirements for practical use. The pilot lamp, which somewhat resembles an ordinary bull's-eye lantern, was then tried at a distance of fully 35 feet from the face. Even there its illuminating power was sufficient to enable the workmen to engage in their occupation under most circumstances. There were, however, parts of the face where the miner would stand in his own light, and would be unable to work with advantage. On advancing about10 feet a marked improvement was apparent, and when the lamp was carried a similar distance nearer still to the face the light was all that could be desired. A "dog" was then driven into the cap-piece of the timber two sets away from the face, when the result was eminently satisfactory. The light shown was steady and brilliant, and illuminated the whole of the face, as well as the hanging and foot walls in the immediate neighborhood of the work. This lamp gives an illuminating power equal to 16 candles. In the chamber was affixed to one of the cap-pieces a "plat" lamp. This is protected by a bowl-like glass, and the light emitted was, in this case also, as steady and brilliant as could be desired. The light given was ample to light up the whole chamber and enable the platman to perform any of his duties. In fact, scarcely any number of candles would give such a satisfactory light. Here, also, was shown a lamp suitable for use at the brace. Its illuminating power was deemed ample for the purposes for which it is intended. Having satisfied themselves as to the capabilities of the lamps the party ascended to the 700 feet level, and, after inspecting the splendid face of rich stone that is being worked there, they were raised to the surface. It may be mentioned in connection with the Schanschieff lamps that there are several points in their favor that give them an eminent superiority over candles as an illuminating agent. They are not affected in the slightest degree by either wind or water, but preserve throughout an even, steady, light. They may be handled carelessly without the least danger. It is mentioned as an objection to them that they would not give any indication of foul air, but the presence of foul air, such as is encountered in quartz or alluvial mines is generally ascertained by any experienced miner in time to avert unpleasant consequences. As a set-off against this — and a very potent one — may be mentioned the fact that they do not consume any air, nor give out any heat; two most important disiderata, especially in mines where the ventiliation is not thorough. In short yesterday's experiments must have been gratifying to all who are interested in the Schanschieff light, and also to all who desire to see mining carried out on progressive principles. The general opinion expressed yesterday by those who witnessed the experiments was highly favorable, and the improvements required do not affect the character of the light all. They are merely mechanical details, which any tradesman of ordinary intelligence can easily overcome. A SUPPER Was held in the evening at Craig's hotel, and was attended by a large number of influential and representative residents, who assembled at the invitation of Miss Cornwell. Unfortunately, the hostess was prevented by illness from attending. The chair was occupied by Mr R. Bryant, supervisor of the Midas group of mines, who had on his right hand the Hon. J. Williamson, M.L.C., and Mr J. Russell, M.L.A., and on his left the Hon. D. Ham, M.L.C., and Mr Phil. Robinson. Host Bentley had worthily maintained his high reputation in the provision he made for the guests. The toast of "The Queen" having been honored, apologies were read from the Mayor of the City (Cr McDonald), Cr Morey, and others. The chairman also briefly apologised for the unavoidable absence of Miss Cornwell. That lady had, during her recent visit to England, seen in the Schanschieff light what she thought would be a great advantage to the miners, and she had, with her accustomed enterprise, purchased the patents for Victoria. Through the kindness of the Band and Albion Company they had that day had an opportunity of testing the light. That company, through Mr Serjeant, was certainly the foremost in the colony in introducing anything conducive to the progress of mining. In the experiments Mr Serjeant, jun., and Mr Mathews, mining managers, had rendered them every assistance. All the lamps had been shown that day in the presence, amongst others, of one of the Ministers of the Crown, and the energetic Secretary for Mines. They all pronounced it a wonderful piece of mechanism, and one well adapted for all purposes. He proposed "Success to the Band and Albion Company." Mr R. M. Serjeant, in responding, eulogised Miss Cornwell for her enterprise. The light, as far as he could judge, was a great success in the chamber and in the drive. The workmen were asked to test it in all positions, and their opinion was that the chamber lamp could not be surpassed. The light burned regularly without a flicker, and by its aid one could see to pick up a pin in any part of the chamber. Another — the "search" light — threw a light right along the drive. The men complained of the miner's lamp that, when using it, they frequently got in their own light. The difficulty was in causing it to play on all parts of the face at the same time. (Mr Serjeant here detailed the experiments referred to above). The light ought to be a success, and then came the question of price. If it could be produced at a cost to compete with candles, he had no hesitation in saying that they would not ask the Government to take the duty off candles. (Laughter). It had the advantage of burning without using or vitiating the air; it produced no carbonic acid gas, and no heat. If such lights had been in use in the Australasian mine when the great disaster occurred, many lives would have been saved, as the lamps would have been under water. Mr Serjeant then displayed a miner's lamp. This, he said, was equal in power to 1½ candles, and would remain alight for nine or ten hours continuously, and could then, it was claimed, be recharged for one penny. If that was an established fact, it was less than half the cost of candles. (Applause.) The other lamps gave a powerful, clear, and brilliant light. If he had anything to do with framing the mining laws, he would make it compulsory to have these lamps in coal mines. There was about them the certainty of absolute safety from accident. He had seen a man go to a powder keg with a lighted candle in his hand. This lamp could be placed in the powder alight without danger. Water couldn't put it out, nor could wind. He thought the system might yet be utilised in connection with the telephone in signalling. Mr '''Bechervaise''' and he were trying to work the matter out, and he believed they would shortly be able to say that they had made an advance in this direction. Any improvement in electricity must be an advantage to mining. The liquid with which the batteries were charged was free from the possibility of explosion. (This Mr Serjeant proved by disconnecting one of the lamps, dropping a lighted match into the liquid, and connecting the lamp again, when it burnt as well as before). He would be glad to take half-a-dozen chamber lights if the company were prepared to supply them at the cost stated. (Applause). Mr Webb, the electrician, then showed the various lamps spoken of above, together with a locomotive head light, and the brilliance of the light emitted was the theme of general admiration. In reply to a question by Mr Serjeant, Mr Webb stated that the batteries could be used for exploding blasts. The buggy light light shown was an ordinary lamp, with the cell fitted in the hole from which the candle came. Any carriage lamp, it was explained, could be fitted for 7s 6d with an 8-candle power light that would burn for eight hours at a cost of 4d. Mr '''Bechervaise''' proposed "Success to the Schanschieff light." He thought in it a great advance had been made as regards lighting power and safety. He then explained the principle on which the lamps were lighted, and said he could not see that anything had come up to it at present. He thought it would be a grand success. He hoped they might shortly be able to hear something about the success of a scheme for signalling by electricity. In conclusion, he asked them to drink "To the success of the glorious Schanschieff incandescent lamp — the mining lamp of the future." The toast having been received most enthusiastically, Mr Phil. Robinson responded. He said he was not connected with the company in any way, but when he was in England he was invited by Mr Schanschieff to a private view of the light. He had also seen it at the Crystal Palace Theatre, where the manager found that he saved money by it, and what lighted up that theatre was the very same thing they had seen that night. It was then said it was very pretty, but could it be used to light a train. The reply was a request to one of the directors of the South-eastern Railway system to become a director of the Schanschieff syndicate. He consented, and soon had the pleasure of practically demonstrating, at the marriage of the Swedish prince, that trains could be lit by it. Each carriage carried its own battery, so that, unlike those lighted by dynamo, the lamps burnt whether the carriages were stationary and disconnected or not. The Schanschieff could light streets, houses, or mines, or anything for which gas, kerosene, or candles were used, but what its spirited purchaser secured it for principally was its advantages in up-country towns, where they could never hope to get gas. They could however, get a better illuminating agent than kerosene or candles, and at less cost. There was no danger with it. He was most interested in its domestic development. It was above the sphere of private speculation, and entered into the character of a national benefit, and one with which the Government should be associated. (Loud applause.) The Hon. J. C. Williamson and the chairman spoke also in terms of admiration of the light, and very highly eulogised Miss Cornwell for her enterprise. The toast of "The Ministry and Parliament of Victoria," proposed by Mr Luplau, and responded to by the hon. D. Ham and Mr J. Russell, with other toasts incidental to the occasion, concluded a highly enjoyable and satisfactory evening's gathering.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209446536 |title=THE SCHANSCHIEFF ELECTRIC.

Bechervaise attends drama benefit for the Wendouree Rowing Club
<blockquote>'''THE WENDOUREE ROWING CLUB BENEFIT.''' A crowded audience assembled in the Academy of Music last night, to witness "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," which was performed by the Star Dramatic Company. The piece went well from the rising to the falling of the curtain, and bursts of applause were frequent. At times the scenes were affecting, especially in the parts where the terrible effects of over-indulgence in strong drink were vividly portrayed. The Wendouree Rowing Club will benefit financially to a considerable extent by the performance. Prior to the performance, a torchlight procession of the fire brigades accompanied by the local drum and fife bands paraded the street. The piece was well played by the Star Dramatic Company, the characters being taken by Messrs. W. A. Madden, J. Booth, T. Tregurtha, H. Davies, Trewick, Reford, T. Hawkinson, G. Jackson, and Misses Thomas, Martin, Ramus and R. Thomas. During an interval Cr. J.

Bechervaise attends quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines, certificate of telegraphy awarded, mostly ladies
<blockquote>'''SCHOOL OF MINES.''' The usual quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines was held yesterday, there being present — The vice-president, Mr Andrew Anderson (in the chair), Archdeacon Julius, Councillors R. T. Vale, Serjeant, I. J. Jones, '''W. P. Bechervaise''', J. M. Bickett, Theo. Williams, S. E. Figgis, J. Lonie, M. Lindsay, F. Martell, and A. Wynne. Apologies were received for the absence of Bishop Thornton and Cr E. I. Rosenblum. On the recommendation of the examiners, certificates of competency were granted to the following candidates who passed in telegraphy:— Eliza Lambert, Elijah Sprague, Catherine Gallavan, John Matsen, Priscilla Richards, Sophia Audas, Eliza Cameron, Chas. W. Davey, Alice Cravino, Ethel Fisher, A. J. M. Hocking, Sarah J. Younghusband, B. E. Clinton, Mary Murphy, and Mary Dingle. The quarterly report of the professorial board was submitted and adopted. In connection with the proposed extension of the drawing classes, Cr Martell requested that it should be postponed in order to enable him to obtain further information. Vice-president's Report.— A synopsis of the operations of the school during the past quarter affords gratifying evidence of an unprecedentedly prosperous and progressive term. The number of students and attendances at the school classes, 410 and 9319 respectively, exceeds all previous records for a similar period. The same remark applies to the State school pupils lecture classes. There were 932 of these pupils on the rolls attending weekly lectures, the aggregate attendance at 91 lectures delivered during the term being 6950, equal to an average of 76 present at each lecture. Seventy-five bullion and over 100 mineral assays were performed for the public of this and the adjacent colonies, and 26 bulk samples of auriferous and argentiferous ores have been practically treated in the mining laboratory. The total receipts for the quarter, exclusive of the Government grant, were £672 10s 1d, of which amount the sum of £306 12s 9d was received for the July term fees. The total amount of term fees received last year (£760 7s) exceeded all previous receipts for a similar period under this head. The receipts to date for the current year amount to over £950. The total receipts for the previous year under the general heading of fees was £1064 9s; the receipts for the current year to date are over £1300, which will probably be further augmented by a sum of, say, £200. The total receipts for the current year (irrespective of Government subsidy) will, it is estimated, be an increase of £400 over those of 1887. A continuation of the present prosperous condition of the school will be maintained and improved only by providing the additional means and appliances recommended for giving practical instruction and a thorough training in the subjects connected with our chief industries. An important step in the direction indicated will be taken by the council's concurrence in the recommendations submitted for approval at the meeting by the mining and machinery committee. When considering an extension of the mining laboratory and appliances, I would ask the council to define the policy of the school in regard to the quantity of pyritous or other ores to be received for treatment. We have quite recently refused to undertake the treatment of one lot of 12 or 13 tons, and two other parcels of 5 tons each, of pyrites. We are indebted to our friends of the Sydney Technical College for the loan of a number of valuable papers containing full information respecting the use, cost, and efficiency of different testing machines. These are accompanied by a letter from the secretary, requesting the return of the papers after the council have dealt with the subject. There is also a letter from a Sydney firm offering to deliver in bond at Melbourne a complete duplicate of the machines they supplied to the board (in 1884) for the sum of £240. This being the last occasion on which the full council meet this year, I take the opportunity to suggest that a deputation be appointed to wait on the Minister of Education after the supplementary estimates shall have been passed, with a view of making application for an unconditional grant of the sum promised in aid of building and apparatus, the money to be appropriated to (1) liquidation of the debt of £1800 on the museum building, which is maintained at a considerable annual cost to the school in the interests of the general public; and (2) to meet the expenditure incurred this year on buildings and appliances, including erection and equipment of mining laboratory with machinery, erection of fume chamber, and extended accommodation provided for 32 additional students in chemical laboratory, purchase of physical apparatus, &c.— The report was adopted, and on the motion of Cr Williams, it was resolved that a deputation, consisting of the vice-president, the hon. treasurer, Cr R. T. Vale and Bishop Thornton, be appointed to wait on the Minister of Education in reference to a special grant promised in building and apparatus for the current year. The following report, submitted by the mining and machinery committee, was adopted:— "1. That the necessary apparatus be erected for the treatment of gold ores by the Newbery-Vautin chlorination process. 2. That a shaft be sunk on the school ground, to include chamber, drives, and winze, which would afford experimental work for mining students." The purchase of a suitable boiler was left in the hands of the committee, with power; also sundry recommendations for extension of appliances in connection with the mining laboratory, as recommended by the superintendent of laboratories. It was reported that Prof. Krause had commenced the delivery of a course of lectures on mineralogy and geology, as applied to mining, to the mine managers' classes. Suggestions for the conduct of examination for the certificate of manager, drafted by the lecturer, and approved of by the mining and machinery committee, were adopted. On the recommendation of the finance committee, the administrative council passed for payment accounts amounting to £426 5s 2d. The council then adjourned.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209449348 |title=SCHOOL OF MINES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=241 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=9 October 1888 |accessdate=17 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>'''AQUATICS.''' The Ballarat City Rowing Club's final events for the officers' trophies resulted as follows:— J. Loughlin's crew met J. Barnes', but were defeated by about a couple of lengths. J. Anwyl's crew met E. Smith's, and the latter won after a good race. Last evening the finishing contest took place between J. Barnes' and E. Smith's crews. The lake was very smooth, and the wind lulled down during the contest. A capital start was effected, and the crews being both in good form after the many successful races won by each, a close race ensued. The partisans of each crew loudly cheered their men, and when opposite View Point for the final struggle it was seen that the south boat, Smith's, was leading, and they eventually won the race, and the valuable trophies, by a couple of lengths. The winning crew are — E. Smith (stroke), George Rayworth (3), H. Gullen (2), and George Scott (bow), B. Arnold (cox). The names of the runners up were — J. Barnes (stroke), J. Petrie (3), H. Webb (2), and J. E. Denniston (bow); J. McArthur (cox). Both crews deserve great credit for their good training and endurance. It is the intention of the committee of the club to place in competition the Hon. Agar Wynne's trophies as soon as possible, and to that end lists will be published at the boathouse at once.

Bechervaise attends the quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines
<blockquote>'''SCHOOL OF MINES COUNCIL.''' The quarterly meeting of the council of the School of Mines was held yesterday afternoon at the School, when there were present Messrs Anderson (vice-president), '''Bechervaise''', Vale, Lonie, Jones, Rosenblum, Molloy, Robertson, and Lindsay. Vice-president's Report — On the 20th November I proceeded to Melbourne to interview the hon. the Minister of Public Instruction in reference to a special buildings grant for the school. Professor Pearson accorded me a very gracious reception, and readily agreed to a special grant of £3500, to be made available in two annual instalments. At the same time the Professor intimated that the interests of the School would be further promoted by raising an equal sum from the public, which would enable the council to erect a suite of suitable buildings adequate to meet the growing requirements of the institution. In submitting this matter to your careful consideration, I would also recommend that steps be taken to secure, if possible, the services of Mr Bastow, whose large experience as architect to the Education Department would prove invaluable in designing and superintending the preparation of plans for the required buildings. The lack of accommodation is unquestionably a hindrance to greater progress, and has been the cause of much inconvenience, as experienced during the past year. Mr Thomas Mann, B.A., LL.B. and Mr Samuel Summons, B.A., LL. B. (both residents of Ballarat) have been appointed by the University Council members of the council of the school, filling the vacancies caused by the retirement of the Rev. Dr Bromby and the Rev. Dr Roseby. In conclusion, I would recommend to your favorable consideration that suitable recognition be made of the valuable services gratuitously rendered by Mr Peter Matthews in connection with the erection of the mining laboratory and plant and various other improvements and additions executed under his supervision; also of the special donation of a steam engine by Mr E. Morey for the instruction of students in the mechanical engineering and milling classes. The hon. treasurer will submit to you a statement of accounts showing the receipts and expenditure for the past year and the present financial position of the school, which notwithstanding the heavy expenditure you will admit is very satisfactory. The best thanks of the council are due to the hon. treasurer for his unceasing labors for many years past in the interests of this institution.— Andrew Anderson, Vice-president." The report was adopted. Treasurer's Financial Statement.— The hon. treasurer (Mr I. J. Jones) delivered the following financial statement:— "Mr Vice-president and council of the school,— I have much pleasure in presenting you with the balance-sheet and financial statement of the school for the year 1888. It will not be necessary for me to recapitulate at any great extent the business of the previous year (1887), further than to make a few comparisons showing what progress has been made. We commenced the year 1888 with a credit balance of £151 0s 9d, the first time, I believe, in the history of the school that we had a credit to commence with, while we commence this present year with a debit balance of £1 10s 10d, which I shall explain to you further on and the cause. I will now ask that you follow me with the financial statements, showing the receipts and expenses for the year that has just closed. . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209453186 |title=SCHOOL OF MINES COUNCIL. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=6 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=8 January 1889 |accessdate=18 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise, councillor, attends the annual meeting of the School of Mines and is re-elected
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT SCHOOL OF MINES.''' The annual meeting of the above institution was held last night in the library; Mr A. Anderson (vice-president) in the chair. There was a fair attendance, the following councillors, amongst others, being present:— Archdeacon Julius, and Messrs Rosenblum, I. J. Jones, J. M. Bickett, Martell, Molloy, Lonie, Lindsay, '''Bechervaise''', and Robertson. Annual report and balance-sheet.— These, which were of a satisfactory nature, though possessing no points of special public interest, and which will be duly printed and distributed, were adopted. Vice president's report.— "The progressive reports that have been published during the year leave me nothing to say. The mining laboratory, though very incomplete, has proved a valuable acquisition, providing the means of studying experimentally the various methods adopted in the extraction of metals from their ores. A class will be at once formed for practical instruction in battery work, roasting, &c., and Professor Smith will deliver a special course of lectures to the students on the treatment of auriferous and other ores by the most improved processes. We have treated 33 parcels of quartz and pyrites, weighing in all 46 tons, the results being 118 oz 15 dwt. The quartz and pyrites came from all parts of Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand, and large and important transactions awaited the result of our treatment of the samples sent to us. Two of the samples were forwarded in bullock hides, and conveyed by camels from the heart of the continent."— Adopted. Elections.— Messrs Jones, Rosenblum, '''Bechervaise''', and Lonie, who retired by effluxion of time, were elected for another term as councillors. The names of Dr Ochiltree and Mr Nicholls were erased, they not having attended a meeting of the council during the year, and Drs Pinnock and Hudson were elected in their place.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209453650 |title=BALLARAT SCHOOL OF MIXES. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=16 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=19 January 1889 |accessdate=18 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise leads a presentation to staffer Tune upon the occasion of his marriage
<blockquote>A very pleasing ceremony took place at the Western telegraph office yesterday, when Mr H. Tune was presented by his brother officers, on the eve of his marriage, with a handsome silver teapot and butter-cooler. Mr '''Bechervaise''', in the presence of his assembled staff, when making the presentation, referred in eulogistic terms to the harmonious relations that prevailed amongst the officers generally. He trusted such relations would long continue. They were an evidence of good-will. Mr '''Bechervaise''', in concluding a brief but happy speech, wished Mr Tune future success and happiness — a sentiment heartily endorsed by the assembled officers. During the time Mr Tune has been located here he has shown himself to be a smart and capable officer, and has made many friends outside the circle of his official duties. On the presentation being made Mr Tune replied in a suitable manner, and a very pleasant gathering was brought to a close.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209453851 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIII, |issue=20 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=24 January 1889 |accessdate=18 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise attends ordinary monthly meeting of the administrative council of the School of Mines, provision of electric lighting to be considered
<blockquote>The ordinary monthly meeting of the administrative council of the School of Mines was held at the institution yesterday. Present — The vice president, Mr Andrew Anderson, J.P., (in the chair), Crs His Lordship the Bishop of Ballarat (Government representative), Thomas Mann, B.A., LL.B. (University representative), the Ven. Archdeacon Churchill Julius, M.A.; Dr Hudson, Dr Pinnock, '''W. P. Bechervaise''', J. Lonie, E. I. Rosenblum, F. J. Martell, and R. T. Vale, M.L.A. Minutes of previous meeting were confirmed, and accounts amounting to £302 3s 7d were passed for payment. It was resolved to take immediate steps for the formation of a class in surveying, to be entirely distinct from any other of the school classes; and that Professor Krause be requested to undertake the conduct of this class. It was decided that the lectures on the geological and mining conditions of ores in different parts of the globe, and on the metallurgical treatment of each particular class of ores, to be delivered in parallel courses by the professors during the current session, should be printed for circulation. A sub-committee was appointed to consider and report to the next meeting of the council on the question of lighting some of the classrooms with the electric light. Reports were received from the staff to the effect that the classes are rapidly forming for the various lecture courses. The vice president invited members of the council to meet the education committee at the adjourned meeting to be held at the school on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 4.30 p.m., to make a selection from the candidates for appointment to the vacant lectureships. The council then adjourned. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204039345 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=30 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=5 February 1889 |accessdate=18 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Public dissatisfaction with the operation of the Public Service and Board continues to be voiced (here the Ballarat Star), the Bechervaise case being an exemplar
<blockquote>'''A FOOL'S PARADISE. No. 2.''' The system of new appointments is worked thus:— Mr Smith, of a certain branch, applies for a certain number of new hands, on the grounds that the business of his section his greatly increased. Sometimes a departmental officer is sent to investigate the matter; sometimes no report whatever is required; and the Public Service Board is then notified that such new hands are necessary. Now and again a live inspector appears who really does accurately gauge the business; sometimes a very dead inspector shakes hands with Mr Smith, chats with him a few moments over the weather, glances carelessly at the books, and then makes his report. What part, then, does the Public Service Board play in this very vital matter? Simply that of an onlooker. The increase may or may not be warranted; whether it is or not is not their business to ascertain. Their business is to see that the requisite examination is held, and the appointments made according to law, a work that any schoolboy could accomplish. Even if an inspector honestly does his work, he acts sometimes upon totally wrong principles. Instead of the work being arranged, he takes the heaviest business done during an exceptional period as the basis of his calculations, and upon this he judges the requirements of the whole year. This is manifestly absurd, for it is just possible that a few hours' overtime at certain seasons would accomplish all the ends required. The commendation of the head of the department being given to the increase, the board is then brought upon the scene. Seeing that the board is not overwhelmed with work, it will be supposed that they carefully satisfy themselves that the increased staff is necessary, but the board does nothing of the kind. It is quite satisfied to leave all that responsibility to the Minister, and with a clear conscience proceeds to set its ponderous machinery in motion. Thus it will be seen that the duties of the board have, so far, been confined to its office. If it was actuated by patriotic feelings it would go further, and insist upon seeing with its own eyes the necessity for all increases. It is a very serious, and alarming thing to contemplate that there is no check upon the expansion of the public service. As a rule a public servant has not a very severe notion of what constitutes a fair day's work, and in many instances a Department that is considered undermanned by its head, if he were head of it as a commercial institution, would be thought very much overmanned. Having then obtained additional officers under his control Mr Smith very soon has the great expansion of his section brought under the notice of the Minister, with the consequence that the ensuing Estimates provide for a consequent promotion in classification. Here the board is supposed to be specially active in its supervision, but its liveliness is very galvanic. In all cases it only carries out the request of the department, and does so upon sadly insufficient data. The office having been raised in class the next thing is to put the proper man, that is the intriguer, into the position. Judging the administration of the service from a study of the Act the public are inclined to believe that, all things being equal and no incompetency proved, the senior man must in the operation of the automatic system of promotions, obtain the place; but this is far from being the case. The senior man may beg and implore, may petition and interview both board and Minister; but there is no getting past the ban of the departmental head. It is he, and he alone, who must certify to the ability of the applicant to fill the post, and if he insists upon recommending a junior, that junior obtains the position in spite of all other claims. It will be seen immediately how this power of veto so acts as to make the appointment of the officer who has so carefully laid his plans a moral certainty, but at present we will deal with the abuse of this power of veto, illustrating it with a most flagrant instance of wrong doing. Some 18 months, or more, past a vacancy occurred in the correspondence branch of the Education Department through the death of a third class officer. The form of asking the Public Service Board to nominate a successor was, of course, carefully gone through; meanwhile the work was done by a junior officer whom it was the intention of the chief clerk to have appointed to the position. It must be carefully understood that under the new Act all the departments are classed as one service; there is no hard and fast line between the different sections such as previously existed. Two senior men in the Education Department, to whom the post was offered in the automatic course, were distinctly told to decline it, as the required certificate would not be forthcoming. In due course it was offered to two other officers, who also either declined it, or were reported unfavorably upon; and now the work is being done by a fifth man, who has served his three months' probation in a perfectly satisfactory manner, but who will also fail to gain the commendation of the head of the department, so that in time it will come to the officer for whom it is reserved, and who might as well have been hoisted up without all this farcical obeying of the letter of the law. Where is the board in all this? What part does it play here? No part; but that of the puppet of the permanent head, who is making it dance to his own tune. Is it not the obvious duty of the board to look with some suspicion upon these repeated failures, and to discover for itself the competency or incompetency of the officer in question. This is by no means an isolated case, but a very common one. Veto is getting as hateful a word to the public servants as it was to the French patriots of a century ago; and a good many feel inclined to echo their cry of "Veto a' la lanterne." That is one mode of operation; not so common because there are but few men who have the audacity to attempt such an action, but nevertheless it is a perfectly safe and effective mode, and will probably be practised to a larger extent in the future, when the permanent heads discover that the board is not inclined to question their dictum. The general rule of forcing promotion is upon safer ground; grounds that lead to the certain nomination of the required officer. To get a thorough knowledge of this manner of working we will have to go back to our representative, Mr Smith. It has been shown that the increase in classification is brought about by intrigue, and not by the natural increase of the business. Now we will show how the appointment of the officer in question to the position is an absolute certainty. It need hardly be said that in sections of the departments there is a great deal of special work which requires a special kind of knowledge. Sometimes this special knowledge genuinely belongs to the office in question, or the increase of the business has properly raised the position. This was most markedly the case in the instance that was brought before the late Parliament, and so fairly and fully discussed relative to the promotion of Mr Caldwell and Mr '''Bechervaise''' of the Postal Department. In that case we had two able and conscientious officers seeking their rights. There was no question but that the claims of Mr '''Bechervaise''' to his seniority should be allowed, and yet it was also beyond question that Mr Caldwell was the only man in the service who understood the complicated system of our mails. This office had been raised in class by the natural increase of the population, but there are other cases which will not bear such a clear light to be thrown upon them. The case that we cited some weeks back of the amalgamation of the accountant and controller of stamps, is one of the worst cases that could be found. Ever since Mr Morkham was a fourth class officer this intrigue has been rampant, and now he stands on the threshold of the first class; provided for by the estimates, backed by the Minister, merely waiting for the sanction of the board. Why? Because the office has been unduly increased at the expense of other portions of the service; and mark, because special duties have been added on, to which Mr Morkham has served a long apprenticeship, which practically block the promotion of his seniors. This is the most successful way of all. How is an outsider to get hold of all the varied parts of such a complicated office as this in a short three months? Failure is absolutely certain, and Mr Morkham knows it; therefore the Minister is at once faced with the trouble that however much he might desire to do justice to those passed over he has no alternative but to appoint this ambitious gentleman. But where is the functions of the board in all this? Are such high offices to be created without any adequate check? Are such dangerous amalgamations as have already been pointed out to be merely at the instance of the officer interested or the Minister who is anxious to effect a saving? Is it not the function of the board to see that an officer attempting the position is given a fair trial; and is it not specially the function of the board to ascertain whether or not such an amalgamation of offices is desirable? The only justification that at present exists for the amalgamation of accountant and controller of stamps in the Postal Department is that it makes Mr Morkham a first-class officer, a reason, however adequate it may appear to the Postmaster-General, is one that does not commend itself to the general public. It is profoundly to be hoped that the Public Service Board will not sanction this promotion and amalgamation until they have carefully satisfied themselves that such a step is wise and free from danger; and further still, it is to be hoped that they will not pass over other able officers simply because they have not the special knowledge that can only be obtained from a practical trial. There are also rumors of much the same sort of thing occurring in the Water Supply Department. Here again we have a department that is increasing at a marvellous rate. A department that has charge of vast sums of money, and here as elsewhere, we find men who probably would deal gently with their own funds, dealing very lavishly with the funds of the colony simply to make their own reputations. Sometimes they sadly mar them, as the engineers of the Geelong Water Supply did. Now and again they meet people who will not be humbugged, and then we have a pretty game of shuttlecock, the aggrieved people trying to reach the Minister, and the officer who is making his name and fame trying to keep them back. We have heard of an instance up near Kerang, where an engineer is trying to force upon the farmers of a certain district an expensive gravitation scheme of irrigation, where only a pumping scheme is possible. As one of the farmers in question says — "Our land is higher in places than the spot from which he wishes to draw his supply. We don't want to take a drop of water in this way. We only want an inexpensive scheme for allowing the water to flow into the lakes during the winter floods, and a trust which will enable each farmer to reach the supply." So strongly did they feel upon the matter that they wrote a long and categorical complaint to the department, and received, to their intense disgust, a controversial reply questioning all their statements from the officer himself, whose work they were protesting against. "The State. That is me!" exclaimed the French Louis, and these farmers discovered that in appealing to the department they were appealing to the engineer himself. No doubt both Mr Deakin and Mr Langtree must rely upon the reports of their officers. It is impossible for either to keep in touch with the huge correspondence that passes through their hands, but where a strong local request is preferred something more than the report of the professional engineer anxious to do a big work should be required.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204040552 |title=A FOOL'S PARADIE. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=54 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=5 March 1889 |accessdate=18 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise case raised at political rally in Ballarat to illustrate operation of favouritism in the Public Service
<blockquote>'''THE GENERAL ELECTION. LIEUT.-COLONEL SMITH AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.''' Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, the senior retiring member for Ballarat West, addressed a large meeting of the electors last evening at the Academy of Music. The building was filled in every part. Among those on the platform were Messrs R. T. Vale and Mr R. M. Serjeant, who were present in response to the invitation extended to the other candidates. The mayor of the city, Mr J. G. McDonald, occupied the chair. The Colonel was loudly applauded on making his appearance on the platform. The Mayor, in introducing the Colonel, said he was privileged to have an opportunity of introducing to them an old veteran not a novice in politics. He had presided at several meetings of late, but this was one of the most influential. The Colonel had done this constituency good service in the past, and as he had done in the past so he would do in the future. (Applause.) He was glad the Colonel was looking so rosy, and fit to contest any election. (Applause.) He had pleasure in introducing one who had done such good service in the past. He (the chairman) had no doubt but what they would send him back at the head of the poll. (Applause.) The chairman read apologies from Mr C. C. Shoppee and Mr S. L. Bailey, expressing their regret at being unable to be present at the meeting owing to previous engagements having been entered into. The Colonel, who was received with great applause, said he had first to thank those of the candidates who were present, as well as those who had sent apologies. He had further to thank the people of Ballarat for the great amount of sympathy shown him during his late illness. It was a great consolation to him in trying moments to know that he had their fullest sympathy. (Applause.) It had been his usual custom to address them during the recess, but he had this time been unable to do so. . . . '''The "Honesty" Cry'''. Everybody said this was an honest Government. That implied that other Governments were not honest. They were all honest until they were found out. (Laughter.) If a commission was appointed it ought not to deal only with the lower grades of the public service, with the working boss, but also with the heads — with those who were getting their £1000 or £1100 a year. But that was the case. Gentlemen with £800 per annum when the coalition came, since had their salaries raised to £900 and £1000, and some to £1100 a year, increases not recommended by the Civil Service Commissioners at all. Ministers rewarded in this way their friends for services rendered. He (Mr Smith) had to bring the question of Mr '''Bechervaise's''' services before Parliament. When the whole service in Melbourne was disorganised, Mr '''Bechervaise''' had been sent to Melbourne, and when he left there it was in good working order. Yet Mr '''Bechervaise''' was not rewarded. The Smiberts and their brother-in-law ruled everything in the post office. (Laughter.) The two brothers and the brother-in-law were a nice little family party. (Laughter.) While the patronage was taken from the people's representatives it was given to the heads of the department, enjoying their £1000 or £1100 a year. It might be all right for that little family, but it was not right for the rest of the civil servants. He (the Colonel) would have said nothing if these commissions were formed on fair grounds, and Ministers and heads of departments respected them. (Applause.) He had moved in the late Parliament for a return of contracts to the amount of £100,000, which had been entered into without tenders having been called for. If it was contrary to law to put your hands in your own pockets to bribe somebody, surely it was worse to put it in somebody else's pocket for the purpose of bribe. This system was being followed out all the time. The contracts were given to political friends. Contracts! he called them political jobs. There were no contractors, he ventured to say, outside of Melbourne, who had got any of these contracts without tendering for them. This was something that should not be tolerated in any colony. The people should know that this was going on, and he was opposed to any such practice. (Applause.) . . .<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204040704 |title=THE GENERAL ELECTION. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=57 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=8 March 1889 |accessdate=18 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Detailed opinion piece by the Age, highlights corrupt promotion practices in the Vic PMGD, includes Bechervaise's situation. This environment was recognized Australia wide and arguably led to the almost complete failure of the senior tiers of the Vic PMGD to secure opportunities in the new Commonwealth PMGD a decade later
<blockquote>'''ADMINISTRATION OF THE GENERAL POST OFFICE. EVASION OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE ACT.''' A widespread spirit of discontent and resentment prevails throughout the entire department under Mr. Derham's control. It is difficult to lay the entire blame for this state of things upon any particular individual, but it must be evident that the Minister is primarily responsible for maladministration or any action calculated to produce disorganisation in the department over which he presides. Had he kept well within the provisions of the statute his position would have been unassailable, and probably it could be urged that the complaints made were unfounded. After thorough inquiry it appears that the officers principally concerned have every justification for considering themselves unfairly, if not illegally, dealt with. Mr. Derham, in fact, has afforded another proof of the facility with which a coach and four can be driven through an act of Parliament. The Public Service Commissioners have always maintained — at least, whenever it suited their purpose — that the Public Service Act is so rigid and iron-bound that the regulations framed under it are inflexible, and cannot vary to suit one individual to the detriment of another; that personal influence or favoritism, injustice or wrong, are utterly impossible. Such may have been the intention of the Legislature and, hard as many cases may appear, so long as the law is conscientiously administered the public at least have no right to complain. The act has, however, been proved capable of evasion owing to the partiality of Ministers, and the weak-kneed vacillating character of the board of commissioners. The board, it may be mentioned, takes no particular cognisance of the mere allocation of work in the departments, unless some question or dispute arises. An officer may be called on to discharge a variety of duties quite apart from, in addition to, those for which he has been graded. So long as he does not require nor has been recommended for promotion, the commissioners do not interfere. If the Minister, or head of a department, wishes to give a particular officer a chance of preferment, he first increases the scope of his duties, and when he has, as it were, established a claim to consideration by the nature of the work upon which he has been employed, the official applies for transfer to a higher class, and should his application be approved the recommendation of the Minister and permanent head is forwarded to the commissioners, who are not slow to grasp the situation. It must be obvious that an inexperienced politician can be easily influenced by his superior officers and commit himself to acts which, did he possess more moral backbone, he would sedulously avoid; but his want of knowledge and capacity forms a poor excuse to those who suffer injustice at his hands. As if anticipating possible eventualities, Mr. Derham has recently forwarded to the Public Service Board a list of officers in his department whom he recommends strongly for immediate promotion. They include the following:— Mr. Caldwell, from being second class inspector to be first class; Mr. George Smibert, from inspector to be telegraph engineer and graded first class; Mr. Outtrim, from third to be second class inspector; Mr. Springhall, to act in a variety of important capacities, which we will notice below, and to be a first class officer; and Mr. Morkham, as accountant of the postal department and of the telegraphic branch and as controller of stamps to be raised also to a higher class. In any comments made respecting these nominations we have no wish to disparage the abilities of these gentlemen or to insinuate that they personally are chargeable with an attempt to obtain promotion by unfair or illegal means. Mr. James Smibert was appointed to the position of Deputy Postmaster-General owing to his having been placed in the position of the late Mr. McGowan to temporarily discharge the duties of secretary, to the department. When it became necessary to appoint an officer permanently to the post, Mr. Galbraith, who was entitled to promotion, was put aside by Mr. Derham on the grounds that he had had no experience of the duties to be performed. As the matter was referred to in Parliament the Minister thought it better to disarm criticism by making a pretence of advancing Mr. Galbraith, who was accordingly made assistant-secretary, an empty title, which conferred no increase either of status or salary. Shortly afterwards Mr. Caldwell was nominated for the position of chief inspector; but a slight difficulty arose in the way of his appointment, owing to a senior officer, equally competent, protesting against what he contended was a gross act of injustice. Mr. Caldwell, it may be said, is a near relative of the Deputy Postmaster-General, and it was decided to make some arrangement by means of which the unexpected obstacle raised could be removed. Mr. '''Bechervaise''', in charge of the Ballarat office, was the officer who, by seniority and unquestionable qualifications, claimed the position of chief inspector, and his protest was put forward in Parliament. Mr. Derham made in this case the same excuse as in that of Mr. James Smibert; but in order to prevent heartburning he promised to satisfy Mr. '''Bechervaise''', and made provision for that purpose on the estimates. It was not until this had been done that the estimates for the Postmaster-General's department were allowed to pass without further discussion. Thus a country postmaster was promoted to first class to secure a billet for a relative, while the superintendent of mails in Melbourne remains in the second class, the anomaly being of course of no importance so long as Mr. Caldwell secured the position of chief inspector. Mr. George Smibert, the brother of the Deputy Postmaster-General, is the next nominee for promotion. He at present occupies the position of second class inspector, and it is proposed to make him engineer of the department, with the position of first class professional. Now, Mr. Payter, assistant telegraph manager, is by many years the senior of Mr. George Smibert, and is equally qualified, scientifically and officially. Mr. Payter, we believe, was a candidate for the position, and it certainly came with a bad grace from Mr. James Smibert to certify that his relative was the only person qualified to fill the newly created post of engineer and general electrician. Mr. Outtrim, the brother of the member for Maryborough, is a comparatively young officer, being a fourth class junior; but being a protege of the powers that be, and one of those known in the department as the "Williamstown ring," he was selected specially for promotion. He also, as in other cases, has been qualified by being given duties which were entirely outside the routine of his class. It is proposed to appoint him from the third to the second class inspector over the heads of no less than 121 officers of the third class, as they appear in the published seniority list. A no less glaring case of undue favoritism is shown as regards Mr. John A. Springhall. This gentleman's name appears in the seniority list opposite the number 129. Not many years ago he was a letter carrier at Williamstown and was transferred to the stores branch on the death of the senior officer, the late Mr. Atkinson. The modus operandi adopted in pushing the interests of this young gentleman was similar to that pursued in the cases mentioned above. While in charge of the stores he was entrusted with the duties of other offices, any one of which was sufficient to claim his undivided attention. In the Government Gazette of the 13th July last appeared the following advertisement:— A vacancy exists in the Post and Telegraph department for an officer of the second class. Any officer in the third class of the clerical division who may consider himself qualified by seniority and merit combined to fill the office referred to may apply for the position, through the head of his department, to the Public Service Board on or before Thursday, the 19th instant. The duties of the office in question are set forth below. Every application must contain evidence of the applicant's qualifications to perform such duties. DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES. As supervisor of maintenance he has charge of Post Office buildings, &c., and has control of the tradesmen employed by the department. As officer in charge of stores, is responsible for the ordering and issuing of all supplies of stores for the department. As manager of the Parcels Post branch, superintends the work in connection with the Inland Parcels Post system, and assesses value of contents of British and foreign parcels for duty. As manager of the Telephone Exchange, is responsible for the proper working of the Exchange. This extraordinary amalgamation of offices could only be intended for one purpose, namely, to give the gentleman who at the time was actually performing the work the opportunity of applying for the positions, and, owing to their important nature, asking for an advance in class. The least consideration of the multifarious duties indicated must show the utter impossibility of one officer undertaking to discharge them efficiently. Of course, few men in their senses would attempt to do the work unless he knew that he was so favorably regarded by the superior officers that he should not suffer for lack of assistance from juniors. In fact, this system of amalgamating offices is simply designed to throw all the power and patronage into the hands of a few, whose work is principally performed by deputy. Mr. Springhall from being a fifth class officer will now, if appointed, be placed in the second, possibly in the first class, while gentlemen his superiors in every respect will be thrust aside at the suggestion of the Postmaster-General. To give a further illustration of the extent to which the new system has been carried, the complaint laid before Mr. Derham by a deputation of officers in his department a few days ago may be cited. This Mr. Springhall was instructed to make arrangements for post and telegraph purposes in connection with the Exhibition. He was anxious for some time to assist in the promotion of a friend who was a telegraph operator. He had some difficulty in accomplishing this object, as trouble was threatened in the department. He succeeded, however, in having him transferred to the Exhibition, and when the big show closed this humble protege of the erstwhile letter carrier was not sent to resume his former position as a telegraph operator, but was removed to the correspondence branch of the Postal department. This proceeding produced a storm from another direction, as the clerks in the Post Office considered themselves aggrieved, and waited on Mr. Derham in a body to protest against this act of injustice, inasmuch as it would have the effect of retarding their promotion. The telegraph officers declare that the object of the so-called "ring" is to so reduce the status of their branch as to leave them all in the 4th class, except the head, who will, should the occasion arise, be selected from the 3rd class if one of the pluralists should not undertake to discharge these duties also, in addition to his own. The present manager is one of the oldest and most respected officers in the service, and when, some days ago, he applied for an office in the newly built portion of the Post Office he was allotted a room where he would be altogether inaccessible to the public. Having pointed out this fact he was informed that there should be no necessity for the public to see him. Anyone who understands the nature of the duties devolving upon the manager of the Telegraph department will readily comprehend the stupidity, no less than the discourtesy, of this answer. Upon the strained relations between the telegraph officials and the chief officials of the Post Office much might be said if space permitted. It may be mentioned in support of what has already appeared in The Age that the system of affixing stamps to telegrams, introduced by Mr. Morkham, resulted in no less than 60 cases of fraudulent appropriation in one receiving office alone in the space of a few months, and the delinquent could not be discovered; while, as to the intercolonial service, it is admitted by the officers that it affords every opportunity for the perpetration of fraud. From what we have urged above, the information respecting which has been obtained from authoritative sources, it must be plain that it is high time the Government stepped in and prevented Mr. Derham from pursuing a course of conduct which must sooner or later produce an organised resistance to the injustice and favoritism of which his department is the nursery.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article196994460 |title=ADMINISTRATION OF THE GENERAL POST OFFICE. |newspaper=[[The Age]] |issue=10,622 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=9 March 1889 |accessdate=19 December 2020 |page=13 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Bechervaise leads a presentation to a staffer on the occasion of his marriage
<blockquote>On Thursday last Mr T. T. Martin, of the City Telegraph Office, was made the recipient of a handsome silver biscuit stand and butter cooler, Mr Martin, who is well known in musical circles, and who is today to be married to a well-known young lady resident of Ballarat East, has been employed in the above office for over 10 years. The presentation was made by the postmaster, Mr '''Bechervaise''', who, on behalf of the staff, congratulated Mr Martin and wished him every happiness and prosperity in his married life. At St John's Presbyterian Church on Friday evening, during choir practice, Mr Martin, who is one of the leading members, was the recipient of a very handsome writing desk from the members as a token of the respect and esteem in which he is held by them. Mr M. B. Johns, in making the presentation, spoke of the many valuable services rendered by Mr Martin to that body, and wished him on their behalf joy and prosperity in his new sphere. Several other members also spoke, endorsing the remarks and assuring him that he would carry away the best wishes of them all. Mr T. Martin responded in feeling terms. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204040773 |title=No title |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=59 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=11 March 1889 |accessdate=19 December 2020 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>
Derham, incumbent Postmaster-General Victoria, attempts to defend the endemic corruption and nepotism in his department on the eve of the election
<blockquote>'''ELECTORATE OF PORT MELBOURNE. MR. DERHAM AT THE EXCELSIOR-HALL.''' Mr. F. T. Derham, Postmaster-General, addressed the electors of Port Melbourne at the Excelsior-hall last night. Mr. W. H. Prohasy, the mayor, occupied the chair. The hall was crowded. Mr. Derham, who was received with loud cheers, said that most serious and important issues were to be decided by the electors next day. Following upon the land booms which had occurred in the metropolitan area, there was a serious relapse, and it behoved everyone who took a deep interest in the welfare of the country to cast his vote in behalf of those who were working for the peace of the country, for on that depended the question whether commercial confidence was to be maintained, and the working classes, who were the first to feel the effects of depression, retained in the employment they now had. (Cheers.) The character of the large and orderly meeting which he addressed at the townhall on the previous night had been grossly misrepresented by his opponent, who occupied the extraordinary position of being able to report or misreport his (Mr. Derham's) meetings in a Melbourne newspaper. It was stated that after the meeting a deputation of Post-office employes waited upon Mr. Salmon, and laid their grievances before him. If there were any employes in the Post-office with grievances, they did not present them to the proper person. He (Mr. Derham) had never refused an interview to any officer in the department, from the lowest to the highest, since he had presided over the department. (Cheers.) There was one employe of the Post office present at the meeting of the previous night who was not an elector of Port Melbourne. That employe had a grievance when he (Mr. Derham) took charge of the department, and though he might have refused to reopen a case which had been dealt with by his predecessor, he did not rufuse, as he considered it was never too late to do justice. (Cheers.) He heard the statement of that officer, and made an award in his favour. Because the award did not answer all his expectations, the officer placed his case in the hands of Mr C. E. Jones. That gentleman brought it before Parliament in such a manner that the members were supremely disgusted, and they expressed their confidence in his (Mr. Derham's) administration by scouting the matter out of Parliament without allowing him even to make a reply to the charges. (Cheers.) Mr Salmon had commenced the campaign by stating that he (Mr. Derham) had promoted relatives of his own in the Postal department, but he now admitted he was in error. (Laughter.) Referring to specific charges made against him, the candidate said it was true that he had made inquiries in the department as to who had furnished certain information to the press. It appeared to him that there were traitors in the camp; that some of the officers were disloyal to the Minister, and disloyal to the service in communicating information to the press which it was their duty first of all to have communicated to the Minister through the proper officer. (Hear, hear.) It was uttterly untrue, however, that the officers had been furnished with a printed list of questions to answer on the subject — that was a pure fabrication. It was stated that he had in view of anticipating possible eventualities forwarded a list of officers to the Public Service Board whom he recommended strongly for promotion. One of these was said to be Mr Caldwell, who was to be promoted from the second class to the first class. The fact was that Mr. Caldwell was promoted on the nomination of the Public Service Board several months ago. (Cheers.) Mr. Springhall, it was said, was to be a first class officer. No such thing was possible. Mr. Springhall was now a fourth class officer, and if he were promoted at all it would be to the third class, not the first. Mr. '''Bechervaise''' was said to be the officer who by seniority claimed the position of chief inspector, and his claim was put forward in Parliament. That was true, and Parliament, after hearing the statement of Colonel Smith, who brought the matter up, and his (Mr. Derham's) reply was satisfied that the best possible appointment had been made in the public interest. (Cheers.) Not seniority alone, but "seniority and merit," was the basis of promotion laid down in the Public Service Act, and he had made all appointments in accordance with that act. It was further stated that, in order to prevent heartburning, he promised to satisfy Mr '''Bechervaise''', and made provision for that purpose in the Estimates. No such promise was made. He was asked to do so and refused. (Cheers.) He was placed in a position of public trust, and it was not his duty to make billets for any persons. It was also said that he had promoted an officer who had been on duty at the Exhibition, and had returned to the office, to another branch, and that this had raised a storm, and the clerks waited upon him in a body to protest. Not one single officer of the department had whispered a complaint to him on the subject. An alleged refusal to give an officer a room in the newly-built portion of the premises was made the basis of a further charge, but the fact was that the room asked for had been granted to the officer several days before the charge was made. (Cheers.) These were some of the falsehoods which were circulated to his detriment. He was ready to answer them always, and would do so in Parliament if returned. (Loud cheers.) The electors were called upon to decide on the morrow whether Parliament should be conducted decently and in order, or whether the scenes by which it had been recently discredited should be repeated. The question would be put — Whether the programme of the Government, which showed a strong desire to help the people and extend the area of protection, should be adopted, or whether the electors would send to Parliament persons prepared to plunge the country into trouble? A large amount of money had lately been introduced into the country. The credit of the colony never stood higher, and the electors should take care that they did nothing to lower it. (Cheers.) It had been charged against him that he had neglected local interests. But that cry in the face of the figures he had brought forward at previous meetings had been dropped. He believed that tomorrow the largest vote ever cast in the constituency would be cast on his behalf. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) In answer to questions, the candidate stated that so long as a man was hale and hearty and doing good service to the state he would not be in favour of adhering too closely to the rule as regarded superannuation in the public service. The whole question might, perhaps, be open to reconsideration. In reply to the question as to whether he had been threatened that if he did not make Mr. Salmon a J.P. he would oppose him at the election, the candidate said that a few weeks before Mr. Salmon declared himself as a candidate a deputation of his friends waited upon him (Mr. Derham) and pressed upon him to make Mr. Salmon and Mr. Tarver justices of the peace at once. In reply, he said he could not ask the Government to appoint justices of the peace for his district alone, but that when the justices were appointed for the whole colony those names would be fairly considered. Upon that he was told that if those two gentlemen were appointed at once he (Mr. Derham) would be saved great expense. (Laughter and groans.) He would not allow himself to be coerced in that way, and he replied that the Government had come to a certain conclusion, and he was prepared to stand by it and take the consequences. (Cheers.) A motion to the effect that Mr. Derham still retained the confidence of the electors was moved by Mr. H. N. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Frank Robins, and carried unanimously. Hearty cheers twice repeated were given for Mr. Derham. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article6234695 |title='THE GENERAL ELECTION". |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)]] |issue=13,343 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=28 March 1889 |accessdate=19 December 2020 |page=8 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise's efforts on committee for return ball to City Mayor are fruitful
<blockquote>'''RETURN BALL TO THE CITY MAYOR.''' The return ball to Mr J. G. McDonald, the Mayor of the City, was given in the Alfred Hall last night, when over 400 ladies and gentlemen were in attendance. Dancing commenced at half-past 8 o'clock, the music being supplied by Mr West's operatic band. The interior of the hall, with its floral and other decorations, presented a brilliant appearance, and the floor was all that could be desired by the most exacting of terpsi-choreans. Among the costumes of the ladies were a number of very pretty dresses. To Messrs E. F. Smyth (chairman of the committee), Webb (treasurer), Messrs '''Bechervaise''' and James Ivey, and other gentlemen praise is due for the complete manner in which the ball arrangements were carried out. Mr R. G. Claxton, the secretary, also performed valuable work in bringing the affair to a satisfactory termination. His duties were of an onerous character, involving much time and trouble. As the visitors to the hall last evening were greatly pleased with the decorations, it will be interesting to mention that they were the handiwork of Mr Stevenson, who was supervised by Mr J. Ivey. Shortly after 11 o'clock the company sat down to a substantial repast provided by Mr McIntyre, of Bridge street. "The Queen" and other toasts were suitably honored, after which dancing was resumed and continued until an advanced hour.

Bechervaise in a rare letter to the editor, calls for support for the Liedertafel
<blockquote>'''ERNANI.''' TO THE EDITOR. SIR,— I was present at the production of this beautiful opera when, in the interval, Mr John Robson, the talented conductor, mentioned in his short speech that he trusted the Ballarat public would give them bumper houses on Thursday and Friday evenings, because if the present effort was not well patronised, the Liedertafel would sustain heavy loss, and it was most improbable, under such circumstances, that a treat of this description would ever again be put before us. Now, considering all the expense incurred, and the hard work that the society must have gone through for weeks past, I think the least we can do is to show our appreciation of the grand and complete success attained in both "Lucrezia" and "Ernani" by well patronising the Academy on Thursday and Friday. We ought, Sir, to be proud of such a splendid production by Mr Robson and all the ladies and gentlemen performing. I have heard good judges from Melbourne assert that it wouldn't be possible, outside of Ballarat, in any of the colonies, to produce opera by amateurs (professionals I should say) equal to what we shall have the privilege to listen to and witness on the two evenings named. Let us, then, as a community be proud of it, and assist by our attendance in great numbers to encourage the Liedertafel, and not only ensure them from loss, but give them a nice little sum to work upon in future.— Yours, &c., WM. P. '''BECHERVAISE'''.

Bechervaise chairs the annual general meeting of the Ballarat City Rowing Club, elected president for coming year
<blockquote>'''BALLARAT CITY ROWING CLUB.''' The annual general meeting of the Ballarat City Rowing Club was held last evening at Brophy's hotel; Mr Vice-president '''Bechervaise''' in the chair, and about 65 members present. Annual Report.— This was read as follows:— "Your committee beg to present to you their annual report of the past season of your club. As you will remember, we had barely got into working order when we were met with the resignation of our old and staunch supporter and captain (Mr McNaughton), owing to his removal to a Government appointment at Williamstown. This proved very unfortunate to us, as his long services for several years past rendered him highly qualified for the position of our captain, and we regretfully report that we have since his departure felt the want of such a good disciplinarian in the boathouse, and in this particular we must record, which appears to us the one defect in the control and general management of affairs during our term of office. Subsequently we appointed Mr James Byrne, your vice-captain, to fill the post of captain for the remainder of the season. His known ability as an oarsman and his constant willingness to do what he could for the club, makes us deeply grateful to him for his valuable services in the past. He also has now left us and accepted a position in the metropolis. It devolves upon you this evening to elect a captain for the ensuing year, and in whom it need hardly be said a great deal of the success of the club at the aquatic contests will depend. We confidently leave the choice of that officer in your hands. Your thanks are due to your old and tried officer, Mr J. Barnes, in his capacity as coach and trainer of the regatta crews, notably the Maiden Eight, and although not victorious, they acquitted themselves honorably. A long-felt want has been supplied by the purchase from Messrs Edwards and Sons, the builders, of a new eight-oared boat, made to order, on the latest principle, and with the kindly response of the members we had the satisfaction of obtaining the boat in time to be represented in her at the leading regattas of the year. In compliment to our worthy president she was named the "Daniel Brophy." We desire to thank our Maiden Four for their gallant efforts at Colac Regatta, viz.:— Messrs F. Shelley, T. Laughlin, R. Oldham, and H. Adair. During the year we have noted with much satisfaction the increased interest taken in events of the club participated in by all the members, and particularly so the contests for the officers' trophies, and for the Hon. Agar Wynne's gifts. To each of these gentlemen we commend your heartiest thanks tonight for their liberality. After good training and many severe struggles, the winners, as you all well know, were as follows:— Officers' trophies — E. Smith (stroke), G. Rayworth (3), H. Gullen (2), and G. Scott (bow). Hon. A. Wynne's gifts — Geo. Rayworth (stroke), Geo. Petrie (3), R. Toy (2), J. E. Denniston (bow). A very pleasant evening was spent in the distribution of the prizes by your president (Mr D. Brophy) and vice-president (Mr W. P. '''Bechervaise'''). Opportunity was taken to present our ex-Captain McNaughton with an illuminated address expressive of our esteem and regard. We have much pleasure in recording the cordial good feeling existing with the sister clubs throughout the season, and which resulted in the marked success of the United Regatta Committee in having a balance on the right side, we trust it will always continue, and also that the health of our old friend and father of aquatics in Ballarat, ex-captain Ned Williams, will soon be completely restored. We are much pleased at the marked improvement in the cutting of rushes on the lake, and the satisfactory way in which the course was cleared in time for the regatta. The attendance at the committee meetings has been as follows, 19 meetings held:— President, Mr '''Bechervaise''', 9; Captain McNaughton, 10; Mr Byrnes, 10; Mr Barnes, 17; Treasurer Toy, 13; J. Cameron, 19; R. Carden, 12; W. J. Gribble, 1; F. J. Niven, 4; G. Barker, 3; W. Adair, 15; W. Johnson, 4; T. Laughlin, 12; W. Bennett, 9; F. Shelley, 5; A. Legge, 6; secretary, 18. We much regret the departure of Mr J. Niven, a very energetic member of committee. The absence of our worthy president in his usual place as chairman will be much felt this evening, but we trust that, ere long, he will again be with us in perfect health and strength, returned with renewed vigor from his travels round the world. It once more devolves upon us to call upon you to accord your warmest thanks to our true, warm-hearted supporter, Mr '''Bechervaise''', who is constantly with us to cheer us on in the aquatic world. We have only to hope that the day is far distant when we shall be deprived of the invaluable aid of that gentleman as chairman of our annual aquatic fete. As will be seen by the subjoined balance-sheet and statement of assets and liabilities, that the receipts during the past year have been very satisfactory, and were it not for the presence of so many outstanding accounts which met us at the very beginning of the season, and which the committee were determined to pay off, we should be able to show a much better balance. These old accounts have now been swept off, and with the greatest economy compatible with the good working of the club having been exercised, we submit that the position of the club is very commendable. With a view of meeting our liabilities, and to reduce our somewhat overstock of boats, an art union was organised and tickets distributed, it will devolve upon the meeting this evening to formally arrange for the drawing, and with ordinary success we shall be enabled to materially reduce our overdraft, and make room in our sheds for the boats actually in use, which now appears to be somewhat too crowded out. We have finally to appeal to you tonight to make a last effort to bring about a successful result to the undertaking, and by so doing your property as a club will be second to none in the colonies. Our year of office having now expired, we have to thank the members, one and all, for their kind assistance in working with us shoulder to shoulder, energetically and constantly, in every endeavor to further the interests throughout the past season of the B.C.R.C.— H. Herbert Gall, Hon. Secretary." The reports and balance-sheets were read and adopted. The chairman congratulated the members on the good position of the affairs of the club. The following were the results of the elections, viz.:— President, Mr D. Brophy, J.P.; vice-presidents, Messrs W. P. '''Bechervaise''', G. Salter, W. Bentley, and Hon. A. Wynne, M.L.C.; captain, Mr W. Bennett; vice-captain, Mr T. Laughlin; secretary, Mr H. H. Gall; treasurer, Mr R. Toy; assistant-treasurer, Mr J. Cameron. Committee — Messrs J. Laughlin, R. Carden, J. Barnes, J. Anwyl, A. J. Legge, H. Adair, Geo. Rayworth, S. Hatch, and G. Barker. Great applause followed the election of the various officers, and a special vote of thanks was passed to the hon. secretary for his past valuable services. Hearty votes of thanks was passed to the officers, for the past season. A number of new members were proposed, and a most enthusiastic meeting, which bids fair for the future of the club, concluded with a cheer for the chairman.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209456858 |title=BALLARAT CITY ROWING CLUB. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=200 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=23 August 1889 |accessdate=20 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

Bechervaise makes a presentation at Juvenile Fancy Dress Ball
<blockquote>'''LYCEUM DANCING ACADEMY. JUVENILE FANCY DRESS BALL.''' BY "DIANA." The Alfred Hall presented a most brilliant spectacle on Tuesday evening, the occasion being the annual juvenile evening and fancy dress ball given by the Misses Coffey to their pupils attending the Saturday afternoon classes. I much question if it is possible for a more bewitching sight to be imagined. The dresses were simply magnificent, and spoke volumes for the taste of those who dressed the little actors and actresses in this pretty pageant. Fairies, courtiers, poudre lords and ladies, sailors, and the different nationalities, all glided or flew over the polished floors with faces aglow with delight — truly a sight not to be soon forgotten. In an interval in the dances a pupil of Miss Coffey's, Master H. Levien, son of the Hon. J. F. Levien, M.L.A., presented the Misses Coffey with a very handsome and unique gold brooch and bracelet, and in a very nice manner asked them to accept them from their grateful pupils. Mr '''Bechervaise''' responded on behalf of the Misses Coffey. Most of the dances were quite new, and in every instance a decided improvement on the older style. Amongst these we noticed the Scotch polka, the French cotillon, and a very pretty Highland schottische. . . . <ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article209460222 |title=LYCEUM DANCING ACADEMY. |newspaper=[[The Ballarat Star]] |volume=XXXIV, |issue=259 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=31 October 1889 |accessdate=20 December 2020 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref></blockquote>

== Introduction ==
This textbook is structured around the requirements of the 2020 International Baccalaureate History Guide and in particular World history topic 11: Causes and effects of 20th century wars. In order to stop it getting too large and never being finished, this text book only focuses on the causes, practice and effects of World War One. This textbook explores the causes of World War One, as well as the way in which warfare was conducted in different operational theatres. The textbook also looks at World War One as a total war, the use of technology, and the impact these factors had upon the outcome.Teachers should be aware that covering only one war will not be enough for students to be successful in final examinations due to the comparative nature of exam style questions and other wars should be looked at as well. It is hoped that this textbook will be kept updated and modified as the official guides change in the future. It is written as a textbook so there are both questions and examples throughout. Teachers should be aware that exam style questions are not actual past paper questions in case there are any copyright issues with those but rather practice questions written in exam format. Lastly, while the audience for this textbook is primarily students, all textbooks benefit from having teaching guidance explicitly stated throughout rather than in a separate teachers' book (which no-one ever reads), so teaching notes have been added where appropriate.
=== Task: Introducing the topic ===
Often teachers like to start any new topic with some variation of a "what do you know already" style task typically done with a time limit and then returned to and revised as knowledge develops over the course of study. These type of tasks take various forms from mindmaps to discussions and for those self-studying this can also be a good idea.
* One way a diligent student may choose to structure their "What do you know already about WW1 task is around the "Who?" "What?" "Why" "How?" "When?" questions.
* The wise student will go back to their initial mindmap and keep updating it throughout the course so it becomes an organic visual display of your increasing expertise in the topic
'''Another pathway for introducing the topic: Teacher led discussion, make sure you give wait time between each question, then think, pair, share and gradually build up the shift from now to 1900'''
* What makes a super power/great power?
* Who are the great powers in the world now?
* What is a military alliance?
* What are the major alliances or unions of countries now?
* Are there any major military alliances you know of?
* Who do you think were the great powers in 1900?
[[File:Flag-map of the world (1900).png|center|thumb|Flag map of 1900 to help you]]
After students have discussed and you've fed back, introduce the overview.
=== Overviews ===
After doing the task above, you may wish to read the overview below and/or watch the overview video linked below and then redo/improve your answer to the task above.
==== 1900-1918: From Conquest to Catastrophe ====
At some point in the 1700s Europe began to diverge from the rest of the world in terms of economic might. This [[w:Great_Divergence|great divergence]] was hastened by the twin impacts of the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. These political and technological revolutions allowed Europe and her offshoots such as the United States of America, the ability to project military and economic might across the globe on a scale that had not been possible previously. By 1900 much of the world was ruled either indirectly or directly by the Great European Powers and their empires, European dominance was largely unrivaled. These empires which had been built at great benefit to Europe but often at terrible human cost to other parts of the world. These empires would be both a source of rivalry and tension in the build up to war and also an enormous source of manpower and resources for the conflict when it came. Beginning in the Balkans in Europe after the assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand, WW1 led to the mobilization of more than 70 million military personnel. A conflict on an entirely new scale, that lasted from 1914-1918 the First World War led to an estimated 8.5 million combatant deaths and 13 million civilian deaths directly and millions more indirectly through flu, genocide and continued regional conflicts after its end. It was during WW1 that many of the tactics and strategies of modern warfare were born and WW1 led directly to the fall of three empires, Russia, Germany and Austro-Hungary and must be seen as the final nail in the coffin of a fourth, the Ottoman empire which ended in 1922. The ending carried within it the seeds of the even greater and more destructive conflict that would follow as well as the birth of communism, an ideology whose impact would play a key role in shaping much of the 20th Century.

== Success criteria ==
As you work through the sections either with a teacher or on your own, as this is a specification specific textbook rather than a general textbook about WW1 it is often useful to keep the examination board success criteria in mind as you plan your answers both for written answers and discussion or debate activities. The following are adapted from the top band of the Paper 2 mark scheme and are useful as general success criteria.
* Responses are clearly focused, showing a high degree of awareness of the demands and implications of the question.
* Responses are well structured and effectively organized.
* Knowledge of the world history topic is accurate and relevant.
* Events are placed in their historical context
* There is a clear understanding of historical concepts.
* The examples that the student chooses to discuss are appropriate and relevant, and are used effectively to support the analysis/evaluation.
* The response makes effective links and/or comparisons (as appropriate to the question).
* The response contains clear and coherent critical analysis.
* There is evaluation of different perspectives, and this evaluation is integrated effectively into the answer.
* All, or nearly all, of the main points are substantiated
* The response argues to a consistent conclusion.
== Inquiry questions ==
These are some overarching questions to help structure your study of World War One.
# How do wars between nation-states start?
# To what extent did the long-term causes of the war make conflict likely by 1914?
# How far were the short-term causes to blame for the outbreak of war in 1914?
# To what extent should Germany be blamed for causing the First World War?
# Why did trench warfare develop on the western front and what attempts were there to break the deadlock?
# How far was World War One a world war?
# To what extent did World War One change the world?
#Why are historians still fighting WW1?
== Key concepts ==
The IB guide expects students to be familiar with the six historical concepts as these interact with historical knowledge and historical skills to develop a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the past. They are as follows:
# Change
# Continuity
# Causation
# Consequence
# Significance
# Perspectives
Examples below will demonstrate how to use the key concepts to deepen understanding of the WW1 topic and will be '''in bold'''. The key concepts are also excellent ways of structuring your Internal Assessment research question when you come to that.
== I. Causes of World War One ==
=== Long-term causes ===
==== Unification of Germany and the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 ====
The Franco-Prussian war of 1871 led to the defeat of France and the unification of Germany. While defeat in the Franco-Prussian War did led to the birth of revanchism (French for revenge-ism") in France towards Germany this is better seen as a background factor by 1914 rather than a direct cause of war. Particularly upsetting to the French was the territorial loss of Alsace and Lorraine although again that had largely faded as a direct cause of tension by 1914. Stronger links between the Franco-Prussian war and the outbreak of WW1 can be seen in two areas, the first being the creation of a very powerful Germany in the heart of Europe with a strong culture of nationalism and Prussian style militarism. The second was the influence Prussian victory had had on other countries and the resulting move towards larger armies based around the mobilizing of reservists. If you are using MAIN to help you remember the long term causes (and many people do) then this factor would go under either militarism or nationalism.
==== Militarism ====
The growth of militarism in Europe can be seen as a cause of war in three major ways, firstly the glorification of war as well as a feeling that war was inevitable meant that a military solution and an overly strong influence of serving military officers on political decision making was apparent particularly in Germany. Secondly and linked to this was an increasingly large amount of money being spent on the European militaries and generally an increase in the size of the armies which could be made much larger quickly by calling up reserve forces. Thirdly, the development of new military technology led to a naval arms race between Britain and Germany which further heightened tensions.
===== The naval arms race =====
Britain's global imperial power was backed by its navy and so when the German Navy Bill of 1900 was passed with a mandate to dramatically increase the size of the German navy, the British saw this as a potential threat to their empire and mastery of the oceans. The British in response launched their own shipbuilding program including the development of a new more powerful class of ship with the launching of the HMS Dreadnought, in 1906. The Dreadnought was a fearsome beast, heavily armoured and capable of striking from large distances and soon both Germany and Britain were rushing to produce them. [[File:EB1911 Ship, H.M.S. Dreadnought.jpg|center|thumb|HMS Dreadnought was both the name of a ship and a class of ships. It was the arms race between Britain and Germany that further increased tensions between the two. ]]
==== Alliance system ====
The development of two rival alliances with two distinct "sides" is often seen as an important linking factor that ensured a local war would grow rapidly to become a global one. By 1914, two different groupings of states had appeared based on a series of treaties and agreements starting with the Dual Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1879:
* The Triple Alliance: Austria, Germany and Italy
* The Triple Entente: France, Russia and Britain
While the alliances were intended to be defensive they did have the following two major "side effects":
* The countries involved began to think in terms of two opposing sides with some key people beginning to think war was inevitable.
* With France on one side and Russia on the other, Germany now had a potentially hostile power on each side increasing the feeling of encirclement.
[[File:Alliance System Picture.png|thumb|This graphic shows the alliance system that developed in Europe. Look up these countries on a historical map to see why having Russia and France as potential enemies led Germany to feel encircled. |center]]
[[File:Chain of Friendship cartoon.jpg|alt=Q. How does this cartoon illustrate how alliances can spread localized grievances between nation states to a more general war?|center|thumb|The original cartoon was published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, in 1912 (4th December) and by the title "A threatening situation". Discussion question: How does it show how alliances can grow a localized conflict between two states into a much larger war?]]

* Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYkFFOXJlW0 The Alliance system]
==== Imperial rivalries ====
While imperial rivalries undoubtedly contributed to increased tension between the Great Powers and other states, most notably over the Russo-Japanese war and the Moroccan Crises, and Africa and China were other sources of tension as well. Despite these, it is unlikely that imperial rivalries alone can explain the outbreak of World War One. One of the strongest arguments to show this, is that Britain's huge global empire brought her into conflict with both France in North Africa and Russia at the Indian frontier and yet Britain ended up allied with both powers during WW1. Another example of this is the imperial rivalry between Russia and Japan which had led to the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905 and yet both fought on the same side in World War One. That said, the Germany Kaiser's quest for a "place in the sun" namely more German colonies and particularly the building of a German fleet were undoubtedly unpopular in Britain and seen as a potential future threat to the British empire.
===== Task: Imperial Rivalries source analysis =====

''Hint: You will need to click the source and then click more details to get all the information you will need to complete this task.''|center]]
==== Nationalism ====
Nationalism can be defined simply in a belief in the existence of the nation as a political unit. It can however in its extreme forms, be linked to political extremism. Nationalism undeniably played a key role leading up to World War I with Serbian nationalism in particular, playing a key role particularly with its connections to pan-slavic nationalism. It is connected to the outbreak of WW in two major ways: firstly in the Balkans, Serbs sought independence from Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, secondly Serbian nationalism was linked to the use of political violence to further their agenda. These two elements would combine in the assassination of the Archduke of Austria in 1914 by a Bosnian Serb, Gavrillo Princep, which would in turn trigger the start of the Great War.

==== The July Days/Crisis ====
==== The Blank Cheque ====
==== The Ultimatum ====
==== Mobilization ====
=== Economic causes ===
While economic causes have been stated as a cause of WW1, and in particular conflict over markets and trade, there is little strong evidence that economic factors played more than a contributing role to the outbreak WW1, that said this opinion is disputed by some and another point of view are included below. While it is undoubtedly the case that all the Great Powers and other leading nations did see massive industrial growth during the 19th century particularly with regards to manufacturing, and there were certainly elements of rivalry such as the newly unified Germany beginning to surpass Britain in certain areas, it is harder to make the necessary link between these and the short term causes such as the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, that led to war. Elements of rivalry that did exist were tied to imperialism and competition for access to raw materials and the ability to sell goods overseas. While it is true many countries had introduced customs duties to protect their industries from foreign competition, the economic superpower Britain had remained a free trade nation and other than having the economic might to build and equip huge armies, connecting economic causes directly to the outbreak of war is not easy to do.
==== Alternative point of view: Economic causes of war from a Marxist perspective ====
In this point of view WW1 was caused by the capitalist economic forces underpinning imperialism leading inevitably to conflict between rival powers. This argument is based on the idea that imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism would inevitably lead to financial monopolies as companies looked for ever increasing profits through the acquisition of new markets, extracting raw materials and exploiting cheap labour from the rest of the world. This would in turn lead to imperial competition and these imperial rivalries would inevitably lead to war. From this perspective World War One should be seen as a ‘capitalist imperialist war’. While simplified for this textbook, this is broadly the line of argument that [[w:Vladimir_Lenin|Lenin]] would use.
==== Historiography: Historian Hew Strachan on the Marxist perspective ====
''“Even if economic factors are helpful in explaining the long-range causes, it is hard to see how they fit into the precise mechanics of the July crisis itself. Commercial circles in July were appalled at the prospect of war and anticipated the collapse of credit; Bethman Hollweg, the Tsar, and Gray envisaged economic dislocation and social collapse.”''<ref>H. Strachan. ''The Outbreak of the First World War.'' 2004 pg 126, Oxford, ISBN-13: 978-0199257263</ref>
===== Economic causes: Reflection questions =====
# Why is it hard to make a direct link between economic causes and the outbreak of war in 1914?
#How might a marxist perspective argue economic causes led to war in Europe in 1914?
#According to Strachan what type of causes of WW1 can economic factors not explain?
# What reasoning does he use to support this conclusion?<br />
=== Ideological causes ===
=== Political causes ===
=== Territorial causes ===
=== Other causes ===
==== Military planning ====
===== The Von Schlieffen Plan =====
[[File:Schlieffen Plan de 1905.svg|center|thumb|The Von Schlieffen Plan, in essence an elaborate flanking manoeuvre aimed at knocking the French out of the war early before Russia could mobilize. The "hook" through Belgium would bring the British into the war thus ensuring a prolonged conflict.]]
===== Plan XVII/Plan 17 =====
==== Kaiser Wilhelm's personality and actions ====
=== Historiography ===
==== Perspectives: Why are historians still fighting WW1? ====
The historiography and the arguments surrounding the causes of WW1 began almost as soon as the war began and continue to this day. This section will give a brief overview of some of the major schools of thought and for those interested in pursuing this topic further there are some links to external sites.

== Franco-Prussian War (1870−1871) ==
* The Prussians hoped to consolidate the smaller states into a new German state; creating a dominant new power head within Europe (as threat to Austria).
* The Prussian Army humiliated France in these Franco-Prussian wars. This was as a result of the effective modern '''technology''' such as railways.
* France lost the territory of '''Alsace-Lorraine''' and had to pay an '''indemnity''' of 5,000 million marks.
* '''Germany was a new power''' of Europe and France suffered from '''political and socio-economic problems''' following their defeat. [[IB History/Route 2/Causes, Practices, and Effects of Wars/The Results of World War I#The%20terms%20of%20the%20Treaty%20of%20Versailles|This spurred later revenge]].
== Characteristics of Great European Powers c. 1900 ==
=== Germany ===
* Germany was a democratic monarchy that had a German parliament, The Reichstag, that held limited powers.
* After the Franco-Prussian War, it was the strongest industrial power in Europe, overtaking Britain.
* Suffered from socio-economic problems from the large working class as a result of rapid industrialisation.
* Germany wanted to pursue imperialism and wanted to develop its empire into an overseas empire (colonies in Africa).
* One country stood in its way, Britain.
=== France ===
* France was a democratic republic with extensive civil liberties.
* Agriculturally based with most civilians living in rural areas.
* Wealthy, and had a large empire.
* Economically unstable as a result of the "swinging economy" before "pacifist" left and "revanchist" right wing parties.
* Wanted Alsace-Lorraine back from Germany.
=== Britain ===
* Established parliamentary democracy; monarchy retained limited powers.
* Built a vast overseas empire as a result of early industrial revolution - the most powerful international trade of the 19th century.
* The turn of the century meant that the USA and Germany had overtaken in industrial production strength.
* Followed a policy of "Splendid Isolation" in order to circumvent conflicts with other nations.
* Its great navy meant Britain could not attack, only defend and its Navy was the source of its strength.
=== Austria-Hungary ===
* A dual monarchy that had two heavily bureaucratic and inefficient parliaments.
* Lacked military strength and felt national liberation from states within its empire as a consequence of the growing nationalist forces and ambitions rising within Europe.
* The Slavic people strived fro independence from the Ottomans and wished to unite with the Habsburg Empire.
* "A multi-national European empire within the age of nationalism."
* Russia was the great defender of the Slavic people.
=== Russia ===
* An autocratic divine monarchy with the Tsar being perceived as having been appointed by God.
* Heavily bureaucratic and ineffective government with rapid (and outdated) industrialisation and large work force classed as peasants.
* Russian revolution of 1905 after the disastrous war against Japan. Nothing improved, Russian people were unhappy at the turn of the century.
* Wanted Slavic nationalism in the Balkans to establish its own influence and wanted to prevent Austria-Hungary expansion.
=== Turkey ===
* Turkey was the 'sick man of Europe' whose regime was corrupt and ineffective.
* Many revolts by nationalist and Islamic groups could not be contained and its weakness was exploited for commercial interest by other European powers.
* The Sultan was overthrown in 1909 by the "Young Turks" a group who wished to modernise Turkey.
* Many European Powers saw the slow decay of the Ottoman empire a threat as a result of the "power vacuum" that would occur.
* Emphasis on modernising and promotion of self-government was to occur. Austria-Hungary did not like this.
== Long-term causes of World War I ==
=== Bismarck's web of alliances ===
* After its economic, military, and imperial potential, many powers in Europe began to feel nervous.
* Germany had to consolidate its new position in Europe, and Germany's chancellor '''Otto von Bismarck''' wanted to create a web of alliances to protect Germany from future attack.
* The ''Three Emperors' League (1887)'' or ''Dreikaiserbund'' joined Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary.
* The ''Dual Alliance (1879)'' helped fix the collapsed Dreikaiserbund after Russia came into conflict in the Balkans with Austria-Hungary.
* The ''Three Emperors' Alliance (1881)'' renewed the Dreikaiserbund with Russia.
* The ''Triple Alliance (1882)'' allied Germany with Austria-Hungary and Italy.
* The ''Reinsurance Treaty (1887)'', much like the Dual Alliance, served to piece together problems after problems in the Balkans in 1885.
=== The New Course and Weltpolitik ===
* The young and ambitious new '''Kaiser Wilhelm II''' and new chancellor '''Leo von Caprivi''' took German foreign policy on a 'new course' that would destroy Bismarck's web of alliances.
* German policy makers from the mid 1890s began to look beyond Europe in the hope to make Germany a colonial power with an overseas empire and navy.
* Such policies would divert German population away from social and political problems at home.
=== Imperialism ===
* One of the major causes of tension between the European powers in 1880–1905 was colonial rivalries.
* The effort of building their empires was initially driven by economic motives (cheap raw materials, new markets, low-cost labour).
* Over time, however, it became a mixture of Social Darwinism.
=== The emergence of the Alliance System ===
* Weltpolitik brought Germany in to trouble and '''Admiral von Tripitz''', Secretary of State for the Navy shared the Kaiser's beliefs.
* '''von Tripitz''' thought Germany should mount a naval challenge to Britain, and pushed the Naval Law through the Reichstag.
* Britain's position of ''Splendid Isolation'' was no longer appropriate or useful, and sought security through Alliances as a result of its threat to its naval supremacy.
* After Russia, France, and Britain were joined together in the ''Triple Entente'', Germany was 'encircled'.
* Europe was now divided into two main alliance systems; the ''Triple Entente'' and the ''Triple Alliance''.
=== The naval race ===
* Britain's threat lead to the launch of a super-battleship known as the HMS Dreadnought.
* The irony of its creation was that it nullified Britain's historical naval advantage as it made all other British battleships obsolete.
* Competitors began constructing similar ships and this triggered a 'naval scare' in the winter of 1908–09.
* The naval race changed the mood in Britain, and as '''Normal Lowe''' observes, ''Britain's willingness to go to war in 1914 owed a lot to the tensions generated by the naval race''.
=== The situation in the Balkans ===
* The Balkans was a very unstable area that contributed to the tension in Europe before 1914.
* Turkey, once ruler of the entire Balkans, was now impotent, and many Serbs, Greeks, and Bulgars had already revolted and set up independent states.
* The Austrians lost grip of their multi-ethnic empire, and Slavs within the country wanted to break away. Serbia was thus seen as a threat to Austria-Hungary.
* Russia saw itself as the champion of the Slav people and wanted the straits of Constantinople to be kept open for ships to move from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.
* A tariff war began in 1905–06 that dragged France in for financial support. The new Russophile King Peter believed an aggressive foreign policy would demonstrate that Austria still had power.
== Short-term causes: the crisis years (1905-13) ==
=== The First Moroccan (Tangier) Crisis (1905) ===
* Germany was worried by the new relationship between Britain and France and set to break it.
* As part of the entente, Britain supported a French takeover of Morocco in return for France recognising British Egypt.
* Germany had not gained notable concessions in North Africa, which was a failure for Weltpolitik and a blow for German pride.
* Germany had not undermined the Entente Cordiale - they had strengthened it.
* Several states had considered war as a possible outcome of the crisis, thus signalling an end to the relatively long period of peaceful relations in Europe.
* ''Germany was now seen as the key threat to British interests''.
=== The Bosnian Crisis (1908) ===
* Following the Tangier Crisis, the Anglo-Russian Entente of 1907 was signed which confirmed conspiracy of 'encirclement' around Germany.
* This fear force Germany and Austria-Hungary into a closer relationship.
* An internal crisis in the Ottoman Empire led Austria-Hungary to annex two provinces of Bosnia, which outrage in Serbia, that caused Germany to stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with its Ally, and recognise the annexation.
* Russia, which had supported Serbia, suffered another international humiliation following its defeat from Japan. This meant that Russia was unlikely to back down from another crisis, in order to retain political stability and international influence.
* Russia began rearming.
* The alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary appeared stronger than commitments of the Triple Entente.
* Germany had opted to encourage Austro-Hungarian expansion.
=== The Second Moroccan (Agadir) Crisis (1911) ===
* Germany misinterpreted a French move in suppressing a revolt that had broken out in Morocco as a takeover; hence making ambitious and assertive claims that was popular back in Germany.
* Germany's 'gunboat diplomacy' was seen as a threat of war by Britain, and '''David Lloyd George''' gave a speech (the ''Mansion House Speech'') to warn Germany off.
* Germany received two strips of the French Congo and increase the tension and hostility between Germany and Britain.
* German public opinion was hostile to the settlement and critical of their government's handling of the crisis; ''a failure of Weltpolitik''.
* The entente between Britain and France was again strengthened.
=== The First Balkan War (1912) ===
* The Balkan League, forced by the Russians and consisting of Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro, sought to force Turkey from the Balkans by dividing Macedonia.
* Turkey was already weak as a result of the war between Italy over Totalitarian.
* Austria could not accept a stronger Serbia, and Russia would support its ally.
* The nervous '''Sir Edward Grey''', British Foreign Secretary, managed to execute the Balkan Leagues goal and contain Austria-Hungary.
* This agreement, however, still caused resentment.
=== The Second Balkan War (1913) ===
* Due to the spoils of the First Balkan War, a second war broke out in July 1913.
* The Bulgarians felt as though there were to many Bulgarians living in Serbia and Greece, and thus attacked.
* Serbia was again successful. This fact encouraged the already strong nationalist feeling within Serbia.
* Serbia had doubled in size as a result of the two Balkan wars.
* Serbia had proved itself militarily, and had an army of 200,000 men.
* Serbia's victories were diplomatic success for Russia, and encouraged Russia to stand by its ally.
* Austria-Hungary was now convinced that it needed to crush Serbia.
* By association, the outcome of the two wars was a diplomatic defeat for Germany, which now drew ever closer to Austria-Hungary.
=== The international situation by 1913 ===
* The crises of 1905-13 had seen a marked deterioration in international relations.
* Each crisis had passed without a major European war, nevertheless increased tension between the two alliance blocs in Europe and also created greater instability in the Balkans.
* War was by no means inevitable at this stage, however.
== Other developments, 1900-13 ==
=== The will to make war ===
* Literature, the press, and education portrayed war as short and heroic.
* Nationalism had become aggressive in major states, and this trend was encouraged by popular press, which exaggerated international incidents.
* '''James Joll''' indicated that "''the reactions of ordinary people in the crisis of 1914 were the result of the history they had learnt at school''".
=== The arms race and militarism ===
* Between 1870 and 1914, military spending by European powers increased by 300 percent.
* Although some attempts were made to stop arms build-up, for instance, the '''conference of The Hague in 1899 and 1907'''.
* However, '''no limits''' on production or war practices were agreed upon.
=== War plans ===
* Every European power made detailed plans regarding what to do should war break out.
* Reading: [https://www.open.edu/openlearn/history-the-arts/history/world-history/the-schlieffen-plan The Von Schlieffen Plan from the Open University]
== The immediate causes of the war: July Crisis (1914) ==
* There was optimism that should another conflict in the Balkans erupt, it would be contained locally.
* Archduke Franz Ferdinand, symbol of the Austria-Hungarian regime, was assassinated on the 28th of June 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, part of the Black Hand movement.
* Germany came to Austria-Hungary's assistance, and issued a ''blank cheque'' on the 5th of July 1914, that guaranteed unconditional support.
* Austria-Hungary took the opportunity to impose a severe ultimatum on Serbia a month later; hence seeming calculated.
* Serbia accepted all but one term of the harsh ultimatum, however, Austria-Hungary claimed it was too late and declared war on Serbia.
* Russia ordered a general mobilisation (for intimidation and preparation) on the 30th of July; causing Germany to declare war on Russia, and France (upon demands for neutrality that were rejected).
* Germany passed through Belgium to attack France, Britain upheld the 1839 treaty with Belgium and declared war on Germany.
== What was the contribution of each of the European Powers during the July Crisis to the outbreak of war? ==
=== Germany ===
* The Kaiser had encouraged the Austro-Hungarians to seize the opportunity to attack Serbia on the 5th of July with the Blank Cheque.
* Russia's military modernisations were increasing the country's potential for mobilisation, and this would undermine the Schlieffen Plan.
* German generals, such as '''von Moltke''' believed that it was a favourable time for war.
* War would provide a good distraction, and unifying effect, to overcome rising domestic problems in Germany.
* War would improve the popularity of the Kaiser.
* '''John Lowe''' observed that Russia did not want a major war, and its mobilisation was a sign for preparation rather than the declaration that Germany had misinterpreted.
=== Austria-Hungary ===
* Austria-Hungary exaggerated the potential threat of Serbia and saw the assassination as an opportunity to 'eliminate Serbia as a potential factor in the Balkans'.
* It delayed its response to Serbia, and added tension to the July Crisis.
* ''It was the first to declare war'' on Serbia on the 28th of July.
* It refused to halt its military actions though negotiations with Russia were scheduled for the 30th of July.
=== Russia ===
* Russia wanted to prove itself after its defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, it acted as an ally to support Serbia; thus not restrain Serb nationalism.
* Its mobilisation triggered a general European war.
=== France ===
* France was not just brought into war. It actually supported Russia, and hoped to defeat Germany due to the Franco-Prussian war.
=== Britain ===
* '''Luigi Albertini''' argues that Britain should have never made it clear it would stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with the French which may have deterred the Schlieffen Plan.
* Britain should have made its position clear during the July Crisis.
* '''John Lowe''' points out that Britain's talks with Russia in 1914 confirmed Germany's suspicion of a "ring of encirclement".
== Historiography ==
* The German Foreign Office was already preparing documents from their archives attempting to prove that all belligerents states were to blame.
* Other governments felt the same urge and produced their own volumes of archives.
* '''Lloyd George, writing in his memoirs in the 1930s, explained that "the nations slithered over the bring into the boiling cauldron of war."'''
* '''S. B. Fay''' and '''H. E. Barnes''' were two American historians who supported the revisions arguments put forward by Germany regarding the causes of World War I.
* '''Luigi Albertini''' wrote a thorough and coherent response to the revisions arguments in the 1940s and put forward Austria-Hungary and Germany as responsible for war in the immediate term.
=== Fritz Fischer ===
* Fischer's argument focused the responsibility on Germany.
* He discovered the '''September Programme''' written by '''German Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg''', dated 9th of September 1914, which described Germany's aims for dominating Europe.
* He also indicated that the War Council of 1912 proved that Germany planned to launch a continent war in 1914, where ''von Moltke'' had indicated "war is inevitable and sooner the better."
* Fischer's argument is ''persuasive'' as he links longer-term policies from 1897 to short- and immediate-term actions in the July Crisis.
* However, Fischer's arguments have been criticised as a result of his limited evidence of the December War Council.
* Furthermore, it can be argued that German policy lacked coherency in the decade before 1914.
=== After Fischer ===
* Conservative German Historian '''Gerhard Ritter''' rejected Fischer's view in the 1960s.
* '''Immanuel Geiss''' Defended Fischer by publishing his own book of German documents undermining the revisionist arguments in the 1920s.
* '''Ruth Henig''' indicated that German desire to profit diplomatically and militarily from the crisis widened its containment from an Eastern Europe one to a continental and war.
=== John Keegan ===
* War was ''not'' inevitable despite the long- and short-term tension in Europe.
* The key to Keegan's theory is the ''lack of communication'' during the July Crisis.
* He indicates that Austria-Hungary wanted to punish Serbia, but lacked the courage to act alone, and this was not communicated.
* Also, Germany had wanted diplomatic success that would leave Austria-Hungary a stronger ally. Germany, also, did not want a full European war.
* Russia only wanted to support Serbia
* France did not mobilise and was worried about Germany
* Britain only awoke to the dangers of the July Crisis on the 25th of July, and hoped Russia could tolerate Serbia's punishments.
* The Serbs had been forgotten after the incompatible nations began to break the tangled web of alliances.
=== James Joll ===
* Joll suggests an atmosphere of intense tension was created by impersonal forces in the long- and short-terms with the personal decisions made in the July Crisis that led to war.
* Personal expansionist aims versus capitalism.
* Various war plans as developed by governments versus international anarchy.
* Calculated decisions versus alliances.
=== Niall Ferguson ===
* Ferguson suggests that Germany was moving away from militaristic tenancies prior to World War I.
* He argues that German Social Democrat Party was on a rise and that influenced the Kaiser's regime.
* Britain had misinterpreted German ambitious and decided to act on impede German expansionism.
* War was not inevitable in 1913, despite militarism, imperialism, and secret diplomacy.

=== Types of war: World War One as a Total War ===
=== Land warfare- the Western Front ===
==== Failure of the Von Schlieffen Plan ====
As you read above, the Von Schlieffen plan was bold and ambitious and despite initial success, it also soon ran into trouble. Intended to knock the French out of the war quickly, the German advance through Belgium triggered British involvement in the war ostensibly to protect Belgian neutrality. It seems likely however that for the British there were other motives in getting involved, specifically a German victory in the west would have been too threatening to British imperial interests. The German advance was slowed by fierce resistance in Belgium and by sheer exhaustion as once troops left railway lines they were able to move no faster than Julius Caesar's legions in their conquest of Gaul. With German supply lines stretched and the professional soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) able to delay further German troops at the Battles of Mons on 23 August, the Schlieffen plan's aim of a quick knock out blow of the French was now looking less and less likely. The plan's final failure came as the German army's advance was halted and then reversed by the combined French and British counterattack along the Marne River in early September.

==== Race To the Sea ====
After the Battle of the Marne, both sides began to dig trenches to provide shelter for their troops. After attempts to break through the German lines failed both sides rushed to outflank each other and in particular gain control of the channel ports. This "race to the sea" ended in stalemate with more permanent trenches being dug to protect troops from artillery. These networks of trenches would dominate the war on the Western Front.

[[w:Trench_warfare|Trench warfare]] developed very quickly on the western front and soon the war of manoeuvre had become a grinding war of attrition. Huge complexes of trenches soon stretched over western Europe from 1914–1918 as both sides constructed elaborate trench networks, underground tunnels, and elaborate dugout systems facing the enemy. The trenches were typically protected from assault by barbed wire which slowed the advance of attacking forces and left them vulnerable to machine gun fire. The area between opposing trench lines (known as "no man's land") was fully exposed to artillery fire from both sides. Attacks, even if successful, often sustained severe casualties. The deadlock would not be broken until more advanced technology and tactics such as the use of combined arms were developed throughout the war.

==== Historiography: Historian Hew Strachan on Trench warfare ====
''“Trenches created health problems but they saved lives. To speak of the horror of the trenches is to substitute hyperbole for common sense: the war would have been far more horrific if there had been no trenches. They protected flesh and blood from the worst effects of the firepower revolution of the late nineteenth century….The dangers rose when men left the embrace of the trenches to go over the top, and when war was fluid and mobile.”<ref>Strachan, Hew.

''"The British artillery were set three main tasks: cutting the barbed wire in front of the German positions with shrapnel; the destruction of German trenches; and counter-battery work, that is destroying or at least neutralizing the German artillery. The watching infantry were impressed by the power of the bombardment. ……..On much of the front, however, the bombardment was visually impressive but was ultimately unsuccessful. Banks of barbed wire remained uncut; German trenches, although battered, still contained determined groups of defenders; and sufficient German artillery survived the counter-battery work to inflict dreadful casualties on the attackers."''<ref>Sheffield, Gary.

===== Historiography/ Perspectives: Were lions led by Donkeys during WW1? =====
A bit part of IB History is challenging and critiquing multiple perspectives of the past, and to compare them and corroborate them with historical evidence. While it is the case that for every event recorded in the past, there are invariably multiple contrasting or differing perspectives one of the most interesting examples of this in the context of WW1 is the [[w:Lions_led_by_donkeys|Lions led by Donkeys]] question which is the popular idea that the Lions, the ordinary soldiers were led to their deaths by the Donkeys, the generals of WW1.

==== Operation Michael ====
[[File:German stormtrooper (35390395301).png|center|thumb|Colorized WW1 German stormtrooper]]
===== Historiography: Historian Nigel Jones on German Tactics during Operation Michael =====
''“The stormtroopers were trained to move in small groups across the battlefield, probing for the enemy’s weakest points like a surgeon’s knife. Any strongpoints were avoided; the stormers merely skirted them and pushed onwards, leaving the essential but unglamorous mopping up to the humble infantry trailing in their wake. The stormers sped gloriously ahead, moving fastest and furthest, set apart from their former comrades even in the hottest moments of action. This conscious separation only served to further heighten the stormers’ sense of being a chosen order destined to conquer and rule. The German armies, with their stormtroop vanguard, accomplished much in the series of great offensives launched by Ludendorff. The first, codenamed ‘Michael’, on 21 March, put the British Fifth Army to inglorious flight, bit out a great chunk of territory and almost succeeded in severing the British from the French. The second blow, Operation ‘Georgette’, struck the following month over the blasted old battlegrounds of Flanders and drove the British back to within sight of the Channel. A third offensive – ‘Blücher’ – let loose at the end of May, utterly broke the Franco-British forces along the Aisne, and brought the Germans, as in 1914, back to the banks of the Marne and within artillery range of Paris.”''<ref>Jones, Nigel.

==== The 100 days ====
The 100 days was the Entente counterattack after Operation Michael/The Ludendorff offensive. The Ludendorff offensive had left the German military exhausted and exposed and beginning with skillful use of surprise and combined arms at the 1918 Battle of Amiens, the Entente counterattack was savage, relentless and ultimately broke the back of the German army. You can read more about combined arms and technological developments below.
'''Video:''' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niWf6C-aKFw The Battle of Amiens from the BBC]
===== Historiography: Historian Nick Lloyd on British tactics at the Battle of Amiens 1918 =====
''“8 August would be one of the most remarkable days of the war. Although the position of all units was not known, the Allied assault had driven between six and eight miles into the German lines, shattering Second Army and unhinging the flank of Eighteenth Army on its left. German casualties had been staggering. The official history estimated that they were as high as 48,000 men, including 33,000 missing or taken prisoner. Four hundred guns had been lost as well as hundreds of machine-guns and trench mortars. For the battalions in the front line, often only small groups of survivors remained. 41st Division, which had faced the Australians opposite Villers-Bretonneux, was almost wiped out. It had lost all but three of its guns, and little remained of its front and supporting battalions. Equally unnerving was the sight of the survivors from the opening attack. Numerous front-line battalions had been reduced to the size of companies. All that remained were clusters of shell-shocked men; their will utterly broken; their faces grimy; their eyes glassy, staring straight ahead. Their stories were always the same: horrifying accounts of iron monsters clanking out of the mist towards them; of mass infantry attacks; of being cut off and surrounded; of waiting for counter-attacks that never came. Some did not – or perhaps could not – say anything at all. Ludendorff’s worst nightmare was, it seemed, coming true.”''<ref>Lloyd, Nick. Hundred Days (p. 81). Penguin Books Ltd. Kindle Edition.</ref>

===== '''Historiography: Historian John Bourne on technological developments on the Western Front from 1914-1918''' =====
''“In 1914 the British soldier went to war dressed like a gamekeeper in a soft cap, armed only with rifle and bayonet. In 1918 he went into battle dressed like an industrial worker in a steel helmet, protected by a respirator against poison gas, armed with automatic weapons and mortars, supported by tanks and ground aircraft and preceded by a creeping artillery barrage of crushing intensity. Firepower replaced manpower as the instrument of victory. This represented a revolution in the conduct of war.'”''<ref>J. Bourne in Charles Townshend (ed.), ''The Oxford history of Modern War'' (OUP) 2005</ref>
# What had changed since 1914 for the infantry soldier?
# How were the infantry used in combination with other parts of the military (combined arms)?
===== Historiography: Historian Gary Sheffield on technological developments on the Western Front from 1914-1918 =====
''"The problem was that in 1914 tactics had yet to catch up with the range and effectiveness of modern artillery and machine guns. Warfare still looked back to the age of Napoleon. By 1918, much had changed. At the Battle of Amiens on 8 August 1918, the BEF put into practice the lessons learned, so painfully and at such a heavy cost, over the previous four years. In a surprise attack, massed artillery opened up in a brief but devastating bombardment, targeting German gun batteries and other key positions. The accuracy of the shelling, and the fact that the guns had not had to give the game away by firing some preliminary shots to test the range, was testimony to the startling advances in technique which had turned gunnery from a rule of thumb affair into a highly scientific business. Then, behind a 'creeping barrage' of shells, perfected since its introduction in late 1915, British, French, Canadian and Australian infantry advanced in support of 552 tanks. The tank was a British invention which had made its debut on the Somme in September 1916. Overhead flew the aeroplanes of the Royal Air Force, created in April 1918 from the old Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. The aeroplane had come a long way from its 1914 incarnation as an extremely primitive assemblage of struts and canvas, its task confined to reconnaissance.''"<ref>''G. Sheffield.

He now had powerful support from the army.

In May 1915 the ship ''[[w:Sinking_of_the_RMS_Lusitania|Lusitania]]'' was returning from New York to Liverpool with 128 US citizens on board when she was sunk by a German U-Boat without warning. The Germans felt fully justified in this as she was carrying munitions to help the British war effort. While this sinking did not lead directly to American entry into the war on the Entente side, it certainly did play a role in turning American public opinion against the Germans.

==== Convoy system ====
The Royal Navy developed [[w:Convoys_in_World_War_I|convoy tactics]] in 1917 in order to see off the U-Boat threat after the Germans began their campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare. It worked by providing escort vessels for groups of ships. The escorts dropped depth charges in areas where German 'U-boats' were known to operate and engaged U-Boats when they surfaced to fire as at this point technology had not developed enough for U-Boats to fire at shipping while under water.
[[File:Convoy Your Country to Victory - National Savings Group Art.IWMPST15634.jpg|center|thumb]]
===== Historiography: Historian Alexander Watson on convoy tactics =====
''“Nonetheless, if convoys did not eliminate the U-boat threat, they were the key factor in retarding it so significantly. The convoys not only emptied the seas of easy targets by concentrating and protecting shipping but they themselves proved unexpectedly difficult for submarines to locate. Between October and December 1917 just 39 of the 219 Atlantic convoys that sailed were even sighted by submarines. Their low detection rate was a consequence not just of the vastness of the seas but also of the British Admiralty’s ability to reroute the ships around danger. Warships, unlike most merchantmen, had powerful wirelesses, which could receive messages from London about the location of U-boats based on sightings or the interception of their radio communications. The Germans found no answer to this problem.”''<ref>Watson, Alexander. Ring of Steel: Germany and Austria-Hungary at War, 1914-1918 (p. 438). Penguin Books Ltd. Kindle Edition.</ref>

===== Historiography: Historian B.J.C. McKercher on the failure of the U-Boat campaign to starve Britain =====
''“Beginning in February 1917, German submarines conducted the kind of operations envisaged by Ballin and others two years before. Through the spring and summer of 1917, this German offensive saw mounting shipping losses for Britain and its allies—1,505 merchantmen (2,775,406 tons) in six months. However, supported by the United States navy, the Royal Navy responded with effective defensive measures: heavily protected convoys, improved employment of depth charges and mines, air cover, and better use of intelligence. By late 1917, although the British had to ration food, and some basic commodities were in short supply, Germany’s ability to disrupt allied economic life via the submarine offensive abated (617 sinkings in five months). Attacks on allied shipping continued into 1918 with limited effectiveness, but the Central Powers had lost this critical element of the economic war by the time the Germans forced the Bolshevik Russian regime to sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and embarked on their great, and ultimately unsuccessful, offensive in 1918.”''<ref>McKercher, B.J.C. ‘Economic Warfare’ (p. 129).

==== British Naval Blockade of Germany ====
'''Historiography: Historian B.J.C. McKercher on the success of the British naval blockade of Germany'''
''"Allied success is undeniable. For instance, before the war, the weekly per capita German urban consumption of meat was 2.3 pounds; by 1917–18, it fell to 0.3 pounds. Additionally, the number of German civilian deaths attributed to the blockade in 1915 was 88,235 (9.5 per cent above the 1913 total); by 1918, this figure had climbed to 293,000 (37 per cent above the 1913 total). There is controversy about whether the German people actually starved during the war, especially in the difficult winter of 1917–18. The argument is made that weight loss results in a demand for less food and that, when the body adjusts, it can be made to work as hard as ever. In all of this, moreover, it must be admitted that between 1914 and 1918, the blockade impaired little the fighting efficiency of the German armed forces. But the blockade had a social and psychological and, therefore, a political impact on Germany. '''As General Kuhl, a senior staff officer, argued: ‘Many things combined to bring down the German people...but I consider the blockade the most important of them. It disheartened the nation.’''' Economic hardship was one factor that saw many Germans become critical of their government after 1915. Disparities existed in the distribution of food and necessary commodities. For instance, rural areas had reasonable supplies of food, whilst urban areas did not. Within cities, disparity also existed between and within classes. Those people with money or political influence could obtain products on the black market. Within the working class, armament workers were better provided for than unskilled workers, white-collar workers, and even minor government officials. Public discomfort grew as a range of ordinary consumer goods like woollen blankets and leather shoes were in short supply and German prices inflated because of scarcities; over fifty food riots occurred in Germany in 1916, a number that increased in 1917–18. Along with food rationing—the harsh winter of 1917–18 compounded German unease—the impact of the blockade played a part in the revolution of November 1918 that led to the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the advent of the Weimar Republic."''<ref>McKercher, B.J.C. ‘Economic Warfare’ (p. 125).

'''Video:''' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbVZGLI8izk Dan Snow on the development of air technology during WW1]
'''Historiography: Historian Gary Sheffield on the development of airpower during WW1'''
''“By 1916 battles were fought in three dimensions, and this was the year that airpower came of age. Before the war, military aviation had largely been seen as the preserve of a few specialists. Some senior commanders had been dismissive of the military potential of the aeroplane. The emergence of trench warfare opened the eyes of most of the doubters. Aeroplanes could fulfil the role that was now denied to the traditional instrument of reconnaissance, cavalry. More than that, as it became clear that the battlefield was dominated by artillery, aircraft proved highly useful in spotting for the gunners: indicating the fall of shot, and thus improving the accuracy of artillery fire. During 1915 various techniques associated with this new role were developed, key among them photographing the enemy trenches and interpreting the resulting images, and establishing wireless communications between air and ground. So valuable was aerial reconnaissance that aircraft, mostly unarmed at the outbreak of war, spawned a type that would later be termed fighters, which sought to prevent enemy observation aeroplanes from crossing friendly lines, or to protect friendly machines in their role of observation. Thus a battle for control of the air began to develop.”<ref>Sheffield, Gary. The Somme: A New History (CASSELL MILITARY PAPERBACKS) . Orion. Kindle Edition. </ref>''
# Explain how the role of aircraft developed during WW1?

'''Historiography: Historian Nick Lloyd on allied use of airpower during the Allies hundred days offensive at the end of the war'''
''“The constant Allied air attacks gnawed away at morale even further. German columns of infantry, marching to the front, would regularly have to scatter as British and French biplanes swooped low overhead, firing machine-guns and dropping bombs. Although the physical damage that such aircraft could do was undoubtedly limited (with only 25lb bombs), its effect on tired and nervous soldiers can well be imagined.”''<ref>Lloyd, Nick. ''Hundred Days'' (p. 121). Penguin Books Ltd. Kindle Edition. </ref>

==== China and the Western Front ====
While the Chinese did not send front line troops, they did send labourers to the western front who did play an important role both in terms of logistics and in freeing up European and imperial troops to fight on the front lines. China hoped by being on the winning side they would receive fairer treatment from the imperial powers after the war particularly with regards to receiving back Germany's Chinese possessions stolen from China in the previous century. This was not to be the case and at the Paris Peace Conference the Chinese delegation walked out of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in protest.

==== American entry to the War ====
Initially America pursued a policy of neutrality in the war. However, the German policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, and in particular the sinking of the Lusitania and a very clumsy German espionage attempt you can read about below, led to America joining the war on the Entente side in 1917. It has been suggested that in part the reason for the timing of the last great German offensive of the war, Operation Michael (also called the Ludendorff offensive) was in order to defeat Britain and France before the arrival of fresh American troops in large enough quantities to turn the tide of war completely against Germany.
'''Website:''' [https://www.loc.gov/law/help/digitized-books/world-war-i-declarations/united-states.php The US Library of Congress have made the American declarations of war against the central powers available here.]
===== The Zimmerman telegram =====
The discovery and publication of the [[w:Zimmermann_Telegram|Zimmermann Telegram]] played a crucial role in generating American public support for the entering the war on the side of the Entente forces. The Telegram itself was a top secret diplomatic communication issued from the German Foreign Office in January 1917 proposing a military alliance between Germany and Mexico if the United States entered World War I against Germany. In exchange for their intervention, Mexico would recover Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. In a stunning intelligence coup, British Naval intelligence intercepted and decoded the telegram before releasing it to the Americans. Honestly if naively, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann publicly admitted on March 3 that the telegram was genuine further enraging American public opinion and in turn generating support for the American declaration of war on Germany on April 4th 1917.

=== The Armistice ===
While not a formal diplomatic end to the war, the '''[[w:Armistice_of_11_November_1918|Armistice of 11 November 1918]]''' signaled the end to the fighting between the allies and Germany. Previous armistices had already been signed with Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire so this was the last one. The armistice came into force at 11:00 a.m. Paris time on 11 November 1918 hence the special significance of the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. As well as an end to the fighting, the armistice terms included the withdrawal of German forces from west of the Rhine, the surrender of aircraft, warships, and military equipment, the release of Allied prisoners of war and interned civilians, as well as provision for future reparations. In light of the [[w:Stab-in-the-back_myth|stabbed in the back myth]], it is worth emphasizing that this was very much not a neutral agreement and signaled a defeat for Germany. This can be seen in the fact there was no release of German prisoners and no immediate relaxation of the British naval blockade of Germany which as you read above was causing real suffering to the German people. Particularly tragically, fighting continued right up to 11 o'clock on Armistice day, with 2,738 men dying on the last day of the war.

===== Historiography: Historian Professor Susan R Grayzel on how WW1 Impacted Women's Daily Lives =====
''“The scope and duration of the war meant that governments enlisted women in the war effort by reorganising basic aspects of their lives. By rationing, governments could alter the food women could obtain and eat; by imposing censorship, they tried to restrict the information they could know or share. The waging of the war placed enormous expectations upon able-bodied men in the prime of life to serve in the military and upon their female counterparts to contribute to the war effort in many ways, in addition to maintaining their domestic roles.”''<ref name=":0">Professor Susan R Grayzel.

===== '''Historiography: Historians Cawood and McKinning Bell on employment of British women during WW1''' =====
''"In Britain, the number of women employed increased from 3,224,600 in July 1914 to 4,814,600 in January 1918. Nearly 200,000 women were employed in government departments, with half a million becoming clerical workers in private offices and a quarter of a million working on the land. The greatest increase of women workers was in engineering. Over 700,000 of these women worked in the highly dangerous munitions industry.Whereas in 1914 there were 212,000 women working in the munitions industry, by the end of the war it had increased to 950,000. Christopher Addison, who succeeded David Lloyd George as Minister of Munitions, estimated in June 1917 that about 80 per cent of all weapons and shells were being produced by ‘munitionettes’. The work was extremely dangerous and accidents at munitions factories resulted in over 200 deaths in Britain alone. Others suffered health problems such as TNT poisoning because of the dangerous chemicals the women were using."''<ref>Ian J. Cawood, David McKinnon-Bell.

===== Historiography: Historian Professor Susan R Grayzel on how WW1 Impacted Cultural Change around Gender =====
''“Cultural change may be the hardest to gauge. Certain norms of Western middle-class femininity all but disappeared, and women’s visible appearance before 1914 and after 1918 markedly differed – with many women having shorter hair and wearing shorter skirts or even trousers. New forms of social interaction between the sexes and across class lines became possible, but expectations about family and domestic life as the main concern of women remained unaltered. Furthermore, post-war societies were largely in mourning. The extent to which the process of rebuilding required the combined efforts of men and women in public and perhaps even more so in private shows the shared human toll of this extraordinary conflict.”''<ref name=":0" />

===== Historiography: Historian Professor Susan R Grayzel on the overall impact of WW1 on the role and status of Women =====
''“Because the war destroyed so many lives and reshaped the international political order, it is understandable to view it as a catalyst for enormous changes in all aspects of life, including ideas about gender and the behaviour of women and men. The messy reality of the lives of individual men and women is much harder to generalise about. There were visible changes in European politics, society, and culture but also a certain degree of continuity. Most notably, the aftermath of the war witnessed women gaining voting rights in many nations for the first time. Yet women’s full participation in political life remained limited, and some states did not enfranchise their female inhabitants until much later (1944 in France). Imperial subjects and racial minorities, such as those in the United States, continued to be unable to exercise their full political rights. Socially, certain demographic trends that were prevalent before the war persisted after it. Family sizes continued to shrink despite renewed anxiety about falling birth rates and ongoing insistence on the significance of motherhood for women and their nations. Economically, returning men displaced many women from their wartime occupations, and many households now headed by women due to the loss of male breadwinners faced new levels of hardship. Women did not gain or retain access to all professions, and they did not come close to gaining equal pay for comparable work.”''<ref name=":0" />

Microsoft and Amazon, together on housing: Tech giants find common ground in push for policy changesBY TODD BISHOP on Jan 24, 2026 at 9:00 am
They’re rivals in the cloud, and competitors for customers and talent. But Microsoft and Amazon are on the same page when it comes to Washington state’s housing crisis — literally, in the case of an op-ed Friday and full-page ad last Sunday in The Seattle Times.
The Seattle region “faces a housing emergency that threatens our state’s quality of life, health and economic competitiveness,” write Brad Smith, Microsoft’s vice chair and president, and David Zapolsky, Amazon’s chief global affairs and legal officer.
It was an unusual joint byline, to say the least, but it reflected the similar big-picture goals of their separate housing initiatives.
Combined, the two companies have committed $1.6 billion to preserve and build more than 26,000 affordable homes in the region. But the executives say even that isn’t enough, framing the problem as a supply issue that requires building “more homes of all kinds.”...

== BoerEnCompagnie ==
BoerEnCompagnie is an organic farm situated on the grounds of the Park Abbey in Heverlee, Belgium. The farm operates on the Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) model, which is fundamentally based on a reciprocal relationship where the community supports the farm and, in turn, the farm supports the community. The principal objective is the establishment of a sustainable, future-oriented agricultural enterprise.
=== Key Operations and Products ===
* Vegetables and Fruits: The farm provides opportunities for self-harvesting (pick-your-own) of its ecologically cultivated vegetables and fruits.
* Dairy Products: Offerings include yogurt, cheese, and raw milk. Dairy production strictly adheres to natural practices, ensuring that calves remain with their mothers, with milking conducted once daily.
* Grains and Flour: Utilizing on-site mills, the farm processes organically grown grains (such as rye, spelt, and historic wheat varieties) into white, grey, and wholemeal flour, as well as wheat or spelt pasta.
* Meat: The farm operates under a philosophy of "less but superior quality meat." They supply pork and beef. Livestock management is centred on natural welfare—cows are allowed to graze, and pigs to root. Feed is self-produced on the farm, which subsequently generates fertile manure for soil enrichment.
=== Community and Educational Role ===
* The farm is home to Boer&Buiten vzw (Farmer & Outside), an association that functions not as a traditional petting zoo but as an open farm. It is dedicated to providing educational and experiential programs (including school and care programs, camps, and workshops). Its primary mission is to demonstrate to the public, especially children, the origins of their food.
* Furthermore, the site is available for venue rental (e.g., the Serrezaal) and hosts a variety of events.
BoerEnCompagnie is actively soliciting financial support and volunteers to finalize the funding and completion of ongoing projects, such as the construction of their greenhouse (2025).

== Ideas Factory ==
A long-running intentional community only a few kilometers from Leuven. Around 8–12 people live together in a self-organised, low-hierarchy structure. The values are ecological awareness, shared responsibility, diversity, and personal autonomy. They sometimes host volunteers, artists, or short-term residents, depending on the period.

/* Topology at critical points */ define local Morse data
4671643
wikitext
text/x-wiki
== Introduction ==
Morse theory tells us that the topology of M only changes at its critical points.
The "Morse data" tells us the topology at each critical point.
Attaching this Morse data together gives us a space which is homopotically eqivalent to M.
This space is a "cell complex", which has an easy to calculate homology.
Theorem: Our domain of convergence is homotopic to a cell complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>This is theorem D.23 in Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546. Also theorem in section 1.2*/5.2* in SMT pp. 200.</ref>
Proof:
# <math display="inline">X</math> is our entire domain, <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> our variety
# Project our entire domain to complex projective space <math display="inline">Z = \pi(X) \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n - H</math> [define H]
# Define a linear subspace <math display="inline">G \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d - 1</math>
# Define a Morse function on <math display="inline">f: \C\mathbb{P}^n \to \R</math> which approximates the distance from <math display="inline">G</math> and such that <math display="inline">f^{-1}(0) = G</math> and <math display="inline">f^{-1}(1) = H</math>
# We "build" <math display="inline">X - \mathcal{V}</math> from <math display="inline">\pi^{-1}(G \cap Z) \cap (X - \mathcal{V})</math> by attaching CW complexes at critical points which are of at most dimension <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# At a critical point, the normal Morse data is <math display="inline">(J, K) = \coprod_x (J_x, K_x)</math> and the relative complex link is <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}^\pi = \coprod_x \mathcal{L}_x</math>
# We show that the quotient <math display="inline">J_x/K_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension <math display="inline">\leq 2n - d - 1</math>
# The neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> in <math display="inline">J_x</math> is homeomorphic to the cone in <math display="inline">L_x(X - \mathcal{V})</math>, and removing the point <math display="inline">x</math> increases the homotopy dimension to at most the homotopy dimension of <math display="inline">L_x</math>
# <math display="inline">(J_x \cup \{x\}, K_x)</math> is homotopic to <math display="inline">(\text{cone}(\mathcal{L}_x), \mathcal{L}_x)</math>
# <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# The tangential Morse data at the critical point is homotopic to the pair <math display="inline">(D^\lambda, \partial D^\lambda)</math>
# Therefore, at each critical point a space has been added homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.
Theorem: If <math display="inline">X</math> is the complement in <math display="inline">\C^n</math> of a complex variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d</math> then <math display="inline">X</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546.</ref>
Proof:
# We build <math display="inline">X</math> by attaching cells of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math> at each critical point.
## Prove that we can do this without changing the homotopy(?)
## We use Thom's Isotopy Lemma to prove that there is a strong deformation retraction, stopping only at critical points.
# Prove these cells are a product of the normal and tangential Morse data.
## Normal data: <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}(S), \partial \mathcal{L}(S)) \times (D^1, \partial D^1)</math> [GM pp. 18]
## Tangential data: <math display="inline">(B_\delta \cap f^{-1}[v - \epsilon, v + \epsilon], B_\delta \cap f^{-1}(v - \epsilon))</math> for <math display="inline">f</math> restricted to <math display="inline">X</math> (or <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>?) [GM pp. 63-64]
# If <math display="inline">k</math> is the dimension of the strata, then
## If <math display="inline">k = d</math> then it is a smooth point and the cell is the product of <math display="inline">S^{2(n-d)-1}</math> and the tangential data is dimension at most <math display="inline">d</math>.
## If <math display="inline">k < d</math>, ...

== Example in one dimension ==
Domain with singularities v_1, v_2, ..., v_i
Define our height function f...
Start with our entire domain X
Reduce from X to X_i+ by using Thom's Isotopy lemma to do a strong deformation retract
== Thom's isotopy lemma ==
We present a modified version of Thom's (first) isotopy lemma, less general than the original but more obviously relevant to our situation.
Theorem: Suppose <math display="inline">Z</math> is a closed subset of a smooth manifold <math display="inline">M</math> which admits a Whitney stratification and <math display="inline">h : M \to \R</math> is a proper Morse function which has no critical values on <math display="inline">Z</math>. Then, the level sets of <math display="inline">Z</math> are homeomorphic by a homeomorphism that preserves the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>For various versions of the full statement of the theorem, see Mather 2012, pp. 499, Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 41, or Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 541.</ref>
Proof:
# Construct control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.
## [Prop 7.1] If <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an abstract stratified set and <math display="inline">f</math> a controlled submersion.
# A controlled submersion has, for any smooth vector field on <math display="inline">\R</math>, a controlled vector field on <math display="inline">Z</math> (a "lift"?)<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
# A controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">h</math> a locally trivial fibration. [Prop 10.2]<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 499.</ref>
Control data:
A system of '''control data''' for <math display="inline">Z</math> consists of, for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>,
* a '''tubular neighbourhood''' <math display="inline">T_X</math> of <math display="inline">X</math>
* a '''tubular projection function''' <math display="inline">\pi_X: T_X \to X</math>, and
* a '''tubular distance function''' <math display="inline">\rho_X: T_X \to \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\rho_X^{-1}(0) = X</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 42.</ref>
[illustration]
such that if <math display="inline">X < Y</math> are strata in <math display="inline">Z</math>, then
<math display="block">\pi_X \pi_Y(m) = \pi_X(m),</math>
<math display="block">\rho_X \pi_Y(m) = \rho_X(m)</math>
for all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X| \cap |T_Y|</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi_Y(m) \in |T_X|</math>.
If, for all strata <math display="inline">X</math> and all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X|</math>, we have <math display="inline">h \pi_X(m) = h(m)</math>, then this control data will be said to be compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488, prop 7.1.</ref>
Let <math display="inline">Z_k</math> be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. We prove by induction on <math display="inline">k</math>.
To construct the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_X</math> of a stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. For <math display="inline">l \leq k</math>, let <math display="inline">U_l</math> denote the union of all <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> for <math display="inline">Y < X</math> and <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l</math>. Let <math display="inline">X_l = U_l \cap X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
For <math display="inline">l = k</math>, <math display="inline">X_k = \empty</math>. Assume by induction that <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> has been constructed and that if <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l + 1</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{l+1} = \pi_{T_{l+1}}</math>) then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489-490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We wish to construct a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> of <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X</math> whose restriction to <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X_{l+1}</math> is isomorphic to the restriction of <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> such that if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{X,Y}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y} = \pi_{T_{X,Y}}</math>) then
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
By shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> if necessary, this relation is already satisfied if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> with <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}</math>. By the definition, if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}|</math> then there exists <math display="inline">Z < X</math> with <math display="inline">\dim Z > l</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Z|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Z|</math>. We have that <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y| \cap |T_Z|</math> and therefore <math display="inline">Y < Z</math>. Therefore<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We can prove that, by shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math>, <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X \to \R \times Y</math> is a submersion [prop 7.3?] and that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y) \pi_{X,Y}(m) = (\rho_Y, \pi_Y)(m)</math>(?).
To prove it is a submersion, for the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T = (E, \epsilon, \psi)</math> there exists a smooth positive function <math display="inline">\epsilon'</math> such that
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): Y \cap |T|_{\epsilon'}^0 \to \R \times X,</math>
where <math display="inline">|T|_{\epsilon'}^0 = \psi(B_\epsilon \cap B_{\epsilon'})</math>, is a submersion. If <math display="inline">\Sigma</math> is the set <math display="inline">y \in |T|</math> such that the rank of
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): T \cap |T| \to \R \times X</math>
at <math display="inline">y</math> is less than <math display="inline">\dim(\R \times X)</math>. We need to prove that for any <math display="inline">x \in X</math> there exists a neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> which does not intersect with <math display="inline">\Sigma</math>, i.e. the map is not a submersion in this neighbourhood. It follows from [lemma 7.2] that it is enough to prove for <math display="inline">M = \R^m</math>, <math display="inline">X = \R^{m-c} \times 0_c</math> and <math display="inline">T</math> is the '''standard tubular neighbourhood'''.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
By standard tubular neighbourhood, we mean the trivial bundle with base <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math> and fibre <math display="inline">\R^c</math> where <math display="inline">\pi: \R^m \to \R^{m-c}</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
For <math display="inline">y \in |T| - \R^{m-c}</math>, the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> at <math display="inline">y</math> is the orthogonal complement of <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> in <math display="inline">\R^m</math>. By the Whitney conditions, we have that for <math display="inline">y</math> near <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> is close to the set of <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> planes in <math display="inline">m-</math>space to an <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> plane in <math display="inline">TY_y</math>. Therefore, for <math display="inline">y</math> near enough to <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">TY_y</math> is transverse to the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> and, therefore, is a submersion when restricted to <math display="inline">Y</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
To prove that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
Therefore, there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_0</math> of <math display="inline">X_0</math> satisfying
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_0(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_0(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
From this we can prove that <math display="inline">T_0</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. Replacing <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a smaller tubular neighbourhood if necessary we can assume <math display="inline">m \in |T_0|</math> such that for some <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_0(m) \in |T_Y|</math>, then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">h \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y(m) = h(m).</math>
By the generalised tubular neighourhood theorem [prop 7.2?], we can replace <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T</math> of <math display="inline">X</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. This completes the construction of <math display="inline">T_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491.</ref>
This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an '''abstract stratified set''' with axioms...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491-492.</ref>
This also makes <math display="inline">h</math> a '''controlled submersion''' because
# <math display="inline">h|X: X \to \R</math> is a smooth submersion on each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, and
# for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> there is a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_X</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_X(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in T'_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.

We define a '''stratified vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a family of smooth vector fields <math display="inline">\eta_X</math>, one for each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
We define a '''controlled vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a stratified vector field such that for any strata <math display="inline">Y</math> there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_Y</math> such that for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and any <math display="inline">v \in T'_X \cap X</math><ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
<math display="block">\eta_X \rho_{Y,X}(v) = 0,</math>
<math display="block">(\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) = \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)).</math>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is a controlled submersion then, for any smooth vector field <math display="inline">\zeta</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math> there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> such that <math display="inline">h_* \eta(v) = \zeta(h(v))</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
Proceeding by induction on the maximum dimension of the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>, we define <math display="inline">Z_k</math> to be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>. The tubular neighbourhood of <math display="inline">Z_k</math> is the intersection of the tubular neighbourhoods of each strata in <math display="inline">Z_k</math> with <math display="inline">Z</math>. The projection and distance functions are the restrictions of the respective functions of <math display="inline">Z</math>.
It is trivially true when the maximum dimension of strata in <math display="inline">Z</math> is zero. Assume it is true for <math display="inline">k</math> and construct each <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> separately for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension <math display="inline">k + 1</math>.
By the assumption that we have controlled vector fields for all strata <math display="inline">Y</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>, we have the two control conditions defined above for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and that there is a neighbourhood <math display="inline">T^1_Y</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_Y(v)</math> for <math display="inline">v \in T^1_Y</math>.
We want to prove that for all <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, the control conditions are satisfied for all <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math> and that <math display="inline">h_*\eta_X(v) = \zeta(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in X</math>.
Take a point <math display="inline">x \in X</math> and define the set <math display="inline">S_v</math> of strata <math display="inline">Y < X</math> such that <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math>. <math display="inline">S_v</math> is totally ordered since if <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_2</math> are not comparable then <math display="inline">T^2_{Y_1} \cap T^2_{Y_2} = \empty</math>. Therefore, there is a largest member <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>.
Assume the control conditions hold for <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>. Then they hold for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. For, either <math display="inline">Y_i = Y</math> or <math display="inline">Y_i < Y</math>. In the latter case, <math display="inline">\pi_Y(v) \in T^1_{Y_i}</math> (by the choice of <math display="inline">T^2_Y</math>'s [is this why?]. Then
<math display="block">\begin{align}
\eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,X}(v) &= \eta_X \rho_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= \eta_Y(\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= 0
\end{align}</math>
and
<math display="block">\begin{align}
(\pi_{Y_i,X})_* \eta_X(v) &= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* \eta_Y(v) (\pi_{Y,X}) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,X}(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, condition holds for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. Also,
<math display="block">\begin{align}
h_* \eta_X(v) &= (h \circ \pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= h_* \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \zeta(f(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, the conclusion of the theorem holds at <math display="inline">v</math>.
This shows we can construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> satisfying the control conditions when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is non-empty and satisfying the theorem when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is empty. The set of vectors satisfying these conditions is convex in <math display="inline">TX_v</math>, and so we construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> globally via a partition of unity.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493-495.</ref>
Finally, we prove that a controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, this combines Proposition 10.1 and Corollary 10.2 on pp. 496 and 497, respectively.</ref>
For each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> generates a unique smooth local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> of diffeomorphisms of <math display="inline">X</math> (by standard results of differential geometry), such that <math display="inline">\frac{d}{dt} \alpha(t, v)|_{t=0} = \eta_X(v)</math>, <math display="inline">J_X</math> is an open subset of <math display="inline">\R \times Z</math>, ...
If we define <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> by
<math display="block">J = \bigcup_{X \in S} J_X</math>
<math display="block">\alpha = \bigcup_{X \in S} \alpha_X</math>
we can prove that this is a local one-parameter family of homeomorphisms.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
Firstly, it is clear that
# <math display="inline">0 \times Z \subseteq J</math> and <math display="inline">\alpha(0, v) = v</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> then <math display="inline">J_v = J \cap (\R \times v) \subseteq \R</math> is an open interval <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math>, possibly infinite at one or both ends.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and <math display="inline">t, s, t + s</math> are in <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> then <math display="inline">\alpha(t + s, v) = \alpha(t, \alpha(s, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
Secondly, it is clear that <math display="inline">\eta</math> generates <math display="inline">\alpha</math> because
# Each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math> is invariant under <math display="inline">\alpha</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">\alpha[J \cap (\R \times X)] \subseteq X</math>.
# For each <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>, the map <math display="inline">t \to \alpha(t, v)</math> of <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> into the stratum which contains <math display="inline">v</math> is <math display="inline">C^1</math>.
# For any <math display="inline">(t, v) \in Z</math>(?) we have <math display="inline">d/dt \alpha(t, v) = \eta(\alpha(t, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
It is unique because each <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> is unique. We just need to prove that <math display="inline">J</math> is open, <math display="inline">\alpha</math> is continuous, and for any <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and any compact set <math display="inline">K \subseteq Z</math> there exists <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> such that <math display="inline">\alpha(t, v) \notin K</math> if <math display="inline">t \in (a_v, a_v + \epsilon) \cup (b_v - \epsilon, b_v)</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
For the latter-most condition, if it did not hold then there exists...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496-497.</ref>
We prove there is a homeomorphism <math display="inline">f: Z \to h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>, where <math display="inline">\pi: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to \R</math> is projection to the second factor.
For the coordinate vector field <math display="inline">\partial</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math>, by [prop 9.1] there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> such that <math display="inline">f_* \tilde\partial(v) = \partial(h(v))</math> for <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>. By [prop 10.1], <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> generates a local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> such that
<math display="block">h(\alpha(t,v)) = h(v) + t</math>
<math display="inline">h</math> is proper and [d] holds, so <math display="inline">J = \R \times Z</math>. If we define <math display="inline">f</math> as
<math display="block">f(v) = (\alpha(-t, v), h(v))</math>
then <math display="inline">f</math> maps <math display="inline">Z</math> into <math display="inline">h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> and <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>. If we define <math display="inline">\bar f: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to Z</math> as
<math display="block">\bar f(v, t) = \alpha(t, v)</math>
then <math display="inline">f \bar f = \bar f f = Id</math> and <math display="inline">f</math> is a homeomorphism.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 497.</ref>
== Topology at critical points ==
Theorem: If there is a critical point <math display="inline">p</math> in the singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> with critical value <math display="inline">v \in (a, b)</math> then the space <math display="inline">X_{\leq b}</math> is homotopic to<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>

<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, complex case on pp. 120-121 is extension of real case on pp. 95-96.</ref>
We take our space <math display="inline">M</math> and map it onto <math display="inline">\R^2</math> with the map <math display="inline">F(z) = (r(z), h(z))</math>, where <math display="inline">z \in M</math> and <math display="inline">r</math> is the square of the distance of <math display="inline">z</math> to the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
[graph of mapping]
What we want is a homeomorphism in <math display="inline">M</math> between the space <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon}</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B</math>, where <math display="inline">B</math> is a small region of the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>. The '''local Morse data''' is
<math display="block">((B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}[v-\epsilon, v+\epsilon], (B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}(v-\epsilon))</math>
where <math display="inline">B_\delta</math> is a closed disc in <math display="inline">M</math> of radius <math display="inline">\delta</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 63-64.</ref>
[picture of the two subspaces of Z in M]
We use our map <math display="inline">F</math> to convert these two subspaces to subspaces of <math display="inline">\R^2</math> which are of the form <math display="inline">Y_1 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq \epsilon\}</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq -\epsilon\} \cup \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | x \leq \delta, y \leq \epsilon\}</math>, such that <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} = F^{-1}(Y_1)</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B = F^{-1}(Y_0)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96.</ref>
We use a homeomorphism between <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0</math> using the technique of "moving the wall" and Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 4, particularly pp. 71-72.</ref>

The composition <math display="inline">\pi \circ (F \times I): Z \times \R \cap (F \times I)^{-1}(Y) \to \R</math> is a stratified submersion...
Therefore, we can apply Thom's Isotopy Lemma which says there is a homeomorphism between the level sets of <math display="inline">Z \times \R</math>...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 72.</ref>

=== Homotopy ===
We want to replace our domain of convergence <math display="inline">M</math>, which is the complement of our singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>, with an "equivalent" space <math display="inline">M'</math> which has better understood properties. We say "equivalent" because there are several different things we could mean by "equivalent" in this context. The equivalence we are referring to in this section is called '''homotopy'''.
Imagine two subspaces <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> of a space <math display="inline">Y</math> which are defined respectively by smooth functions <math display="inline">f, g: X \to Y</math>. If there exists a smooth function <math display="inline">h_s: X \times [0, 1] \to Y</math>, called a homotopy, such that <math display="inline">h_0 = f</math>, <math display="inline">h_1 = g</math> and for any <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> there exists a <math display="inline">\delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">\delta_b</math> such that when <math display="inline">|s - s_0| < \delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">|x - x_0| < \delta_b</math> we have <math display="inline">|h_s(x) - h_{s_0}(x_0)| < \epsilon</math>, then we say <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are '''homotopic'''.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 251-252.</ref>
Below is an example where <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are one-dimensional curves and <math display="inline">H(t, s) = h_s(t)</math>.
[[File:Homotopy_curves.png|300px]]
In [[#Homotopy_equivalence|Appendix A]], we formally prove that we can construct an equivalent space <math display="inline">M'</math>. We provide only an example to give some intuition before describing how to construct the space <math display="inline">M'</math> in terms of local cycles around critical points.
=== Motivating example ===
Imagine a torus and a height function which is just the z value of the point.
[[File:3D-Leveltorus.png|200px]]
It has four critical points: two at the top and bottom of the outer circle (<math display="inline">p_1, p_4</math>) and two at the top and bottom of the inner circle (<math display="inline">p_2, p_3</math>).
[picture]
When the height is between the <math display="inline">p_1</math> and <math display="inline">p_2</math>, the space is a two-cell, which can be retracted to a point.
[picture]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_2</math> and <math display="inline">p_3</math>, the space is a cylinder, which can be retracted to a two-cell with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_and_disk_with_handle.png|200px]]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_3</math> and <math display="inline">p_4</math>, the space is a torus with a disc removed, which can be retracted to a cylinder with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_with_handle_and_torus_with_hole.png|200px]]
When the height is greater than <math display="inline">p_4</math>, then the full torus is constructed by attaching a two-cell.
[Explain in terms of Morse data and Morse index?]

As in the above example, we start at the "bottom" of <math display="inline">M</math> and build upwards until just before we reach our first critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.

=== Homotopy equivalence ===
[Assuming no CVAI...]
Theorem:
# Homotopy equivalence between M_{\leq a} and M_{\leq b}...
# If in a range <math display="inline">[a, b]</math> there are no CVAI and only one critical value <math display="inline">c</math>, not equal to either <math display="inline">a</math> or <math display="inline">b</math>, with one or more critical points <math display="inline">z_1, \cdots, z_m</math> then there is a stratified flow deforming any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a (homotopic?) chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{<c}</math> with sufficiently small balls around each critical point. This induces a homotopy between <math display="inline">(M_{c+\epsilon}, M_{c-\epsilon})</math> and the direct sum of <math display="inline">(M_{c-\epsilon} \cup B_{2\epsilon}(z_i), M_{c-\epsilon})</math> for each critical point <math display="inline">z_i</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 231.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
We can (potentially) define a function to implement this flow. Define <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> where <math display="inline">x</math> are points in the space and <math display="inline">t</math> is something like time. As <math display="inline">t</math> goes from zero to some positive number, <math display="inline">\Phi</math> moves the points <math display="inline">x</math> along the vectors. To describe this process formally, we say <math display="inline">\Phi</math> is the solution to the differential equation
<math display="block">\frac{d}{dt} \Phi(x, t) = v(x).</math>
We want a particular vector field <math display="inline">v</math> with certain properties... The proof of the existence of this vector field is long and complicated and we will not go into it here.<ref>It involves concepts such as Thom's isotopy lemma and Mather's controlled vector flows. See Mather 2012.</ref>
Using this vector field <math display="inline">v</math> but modified so as to be zero on <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>. This vector field defines a function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> such that
* <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t) = v(x)</math> when <math display="inline">h(x) \in (a, b]</math>.
* <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> is defined for <math display="inline">0 \leq t \leq h(x) - a</math> and in this range <math display="inline">h(\Phi(x, t)) = h(x) - t</math>.
* the map <math display="inline">\psi(x) = \Phi(x, b - a)</math> is a continuous map on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> with range (image?) <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math> and fixing <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>.
The function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, 0)</math> is the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\Phi(x, b - a) = \psi(x)</math>, therefore <math display="inline">\Phi</math> in the range <math display="inline">[0, b - a]</math> is a homotopy between the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\psi</math>. This implies 1)???<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 233.</ref>
Define the distance from a critical point <math display="inline">\kappa(x) = \min\{ |x - z_i| : z_1, \cdots, z_m \}</math>. For <math display="inline">s > 0 </math> we define a new vector field
<math display="block">v_s(x) = \begin{cases}
v(x) & \kappa(x) \geq s \\
\rho(\kappa(x)) v(x) & \kappa(x) \in [s/2, s] \\
0 & \kappa(x) \leq s/2
\end{cases}</math>
for a smooth non-decreasing function <math display="inline">\rho</math> where <math display="inline">\rho(s/2) = 0</math>.
Define <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> as the function such that <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t)_s = v_s(x)</math>. The height function <math display="inline">h</math> is non-increasing along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> (by implication of bullet point 2?) so points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> stay in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c - \epsilon}</math> when flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> and therefore <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> is a homotopy equivalence between <math display="inline">(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math> and <math display="inline">(\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon), M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math>. By <math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> we mean the space <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> for a short period of time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
[Prove it has the same critical points and is proper?]
<math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> takes points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> except for those that come within <math display="inline">s</math> of a critical point within time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
Therefore, we see how we <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> can homotopically deform a chain in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> and small neighbourhoods of critical points.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 234-235.</ref>
On the assumption of this theorem, we can start with any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> and deform this chain to <math display="inline">M_{c_1+}</math> using part 1. Then we deform this chain to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> and small balls around the critical points. The (sub?)chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> is then deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2+}</math>, which is deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2-} \cup z_{c_2}</math>, and so on. Eventually, we get to <math display="inline">M_{c_j-}</math> which is homotopic to any space "below" it. Therefore, we have deformed our chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a homotopic chain in the union of small balls around critical points.<ref>Baryshnikov, Melczer and Pemantle 2022, pp. ???.</ref><ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 217???</ref>

== Introduction ==
Morse theory tells us that the topology of M only changes at its critical points.
The "Morse data" tells us the topology at each critical point.
Attaching this Morse data together gives us a space which is homopotically eqivalent to M.
This space is a "cell complex", which has an easy to calculate homology.
Theorem: Our domain of convergence is homotopic to a cell complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>This is theorem D.23 in Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546. Also theorem in section 1.2*/5.2* in SMT pp. 200.</ref>
Proof:
# <math display="inline">X</math> is our entire domain, <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> our variety
# Project our entire domain to complex projective space <math display="inline">Z = \pi(X) \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n - H</math> [define H]
# Define a linear subspace <math display="inline">G \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d - 1</math>
# Define a Morse function on <math display="inline">f: \C\mathbb{P}^n \to \R</math> which approximates the distance from <math display="inline">G</math> and such that <math display="inline">f^{-1}(0) = G</math> and <math display="inline">f^{-1}(1) = H</math>
# We "build" <math display="inline">X - \mathcal{V}</math> from <math display="inline">\pi^{-1}(G \cap Z) \cap (X - \mathcal{V})</math> by attaching CW complexes at critical points which are of at most dimension <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# At a critical point, the normal Morse data is <math display="inline">(J, K) = \coprod_x (J_x, K_x)</math> and the relative complex link is <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}^\pi = \coprod_x \mathcal{L}_x</math>
# We show that the quotient <math display="inline">J_x/K_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension <math display="inline">\leq 2n - d - 1</math>
# The neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> in <math display="inline">J_x</math> is homeomorphic to the cone in <math display="inline">L_x(X - \mathcal{V})</math>, and removing the point <math display="inline">x</math> increases the homotopy dimension to at most the homotopy dimension of <math display="inline">L_x</math>
# <math display="inline">(J_x \cup \{x\}, K_x)</math> is homotopic to <math display="inline">(\text{cone}(\mathcal{L}_x), \mathcal{L}_x)</math>
# <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# The tangential Morse data at the critical point is homotopic to the pair <math display="inline">(D^\lambda, \partial D^\lambda)</math>
# Therefore, at each critical point a space has been added homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.
Theorem: If <math display="inline">X</math> is the complement in <math display="inline">\C^n</math> of a complex variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d</math> then <math display="inline">X</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546.</ref>
Proof:
# We build <math display="inline">X</math> by attaching cells of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math> at each critical point.
## Prove that we can do this without changing the homotopy(?)
## We use Thom's Isotopy Lemma to prove that there is a strong deformation retraction, stopping only at critical points.
# Prove these cells are a product of the normal and tangential Morse data.
## Normal data: <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}(S), \partial \mathcal{L}(S)) \times (D^1, \partial D^1)</math> [GM pp. 18]
## Tangential data: <math display="inline">(B_\delta \cap f^{-1}[v - \epsilon, v + \epsilon], B_\delta \cap f^{-1}(v - \epsilon))</math> for <math display="inline">f</math> restricted to <math display="inline">X</math> (or <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>?) [GM pp. 63-64]
# If <math display="inline">k</math> is the dimension of the strata, then
## If <math display="inline">k = d</math> then it is a smooth point and the cell is the product of <math display="inline">S^{2(n-d)-1}</math> and the tangential data is dimension at most <math display="inline">d</math>.

Theorem: Suppose <math display="inline">Z</math> is a closed subset of a smooth manifold <math display="inline">M</math> which admits a Whitney stratification and <math display="inline">h : M \to \R</math> is a proper Morse function which has no critical values on <math display="inline">Z</math>. Then, the level sets of <math display="inline">Z</math> are homeomorphic by a homeomorphism that preserves the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>For various versions of the full statement of the theorem, see Mather 2012, pp. 499, Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 41, or Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 541.</ref>
Proof:
# Construct control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.
## [Prop 7.1] If <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an abstract stratified set and <math display="inline">f</math> a controlled submersion.
# A controlled submersion has, for any smooth vector field on <math display="inline">\R</math>, a controlled vector field on <math display="inline">Z</math> (a "lift"?)<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
# A controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">h</math> a locally trivial fibration. [Prop 10.2]<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 499.</ref>
Control data:
A system of '''control data''' for <math display="inline">Z</math> consists of, for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>,
* a '''tubular neighbourhood''' <math display="inline">T_X</math> of <math display="inline">X</math>
* a '''tubular projection function''' <math display="inline">\pi_X: T_X \to X</math>, and
* a '''tubular distance function''' <math display="inline">\rho_X: T_X \to \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\rho_X^{-1}(0) = X</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 42.</ref>
[illustration]
such that if <math display="inline">X < Y</math> are strata in <math display="inline">Z</math>, then
<math display="block">\pi_X \pi_Y(m) = \pi_X(m),</math>
<math display="block">\rho_X \pi_Y(m) = \rho_X(m)</math>
for all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X| \cap |T_Y|</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi_Y(m) \in |T_X|</math>.
If, for all strata <math display="inline">X</math> and all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X|</math>, we have <math display="inline">h \pi_X(m) = h(m)</math>, then this control data will be said to be compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488, prop 7.1.</ref>
Let <math display="inline">Z_k</math> be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. We prove by induction on <math display="inline">k</math>.
To construct the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_X</math> of a stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. For <math display="inline">l \leq k</math>, let <math display="inline">U_l</math> denote the union of all <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> for <math display="inline">Y < X</math> and <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l</math>. Let <math display="inline">X_l = U_l \cap X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
For <math display="inline">l = k</math>, <math display="inline">X_k = \empty</math>. Assume by induction that <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> has been constructed and that if <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l + 1</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{l+1} = \pi_{T_{l+1}}</math>) then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489-490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We wish to construct a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> of <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X</math> whose restriction to <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X_{l+1}</math> is isomorphic to the restriction of <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> such that if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{X,Y}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y} = \pi_{T_{X,Y}}</math>) then
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
By shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> if necessary, this relation is already satisfied if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> with <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}</math>. By the definition, if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}|</math> then there exists <math display="inline">Z < X</math> with <math display="inline">\dim Z > l</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Z|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Z|</math>. We have that <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y| \cap |T_Z|</math> and therefore <math display="inline">Y < Z</math>. Therefore<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We can prove that, by shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math>, <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X \to \R \times Y</math> is a submersion [prop 7.3?] and that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y) \pi_{X,Y}(m) = (\rho_Y, \pi_Y)(m)</math>(?).
To prove it is a submersion, for the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T = (E, \epsilon, \psi)</math> there exists a smooth positive function <math display="inline">\epsilon'</math> such that
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): Y \cap |T|_{\epsilon'}^0 \to \R \times X,</math>
where <math display="inline">|T|_{\epsilon'}^0 = \psi(B_\epsilon \cap B_{\epsilon'})</math>, is a submersion. If <math display="inline">\Sigma</math> is the set <math display="inline">y \in |T|</math> such that the rank of
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): T \cap |T| \to \R \times X</math>
at <math display="inline">y</math> is less than <math display="inline">\dim(\R \times X)</math>. We need to prove that for any <math display="inline">x \in X</math> there exists a neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> which does not intersect with <math display="inline">\Sigma</math>, i.e. the map is not a submersion in this neighbourhood. It follows from [lemma 7.2] that it is enough to prove for <math display="inline">M = \R^m</math>, <math display="inline">X = \R^{m-c} \times 0_c</math> and <math display="inline">T</math> is the '''standard tubular neighbourhood'''.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
By standard tubular neighbourhood, we mean the trivial bundle with base <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math> and fibre <math display="inline">\R^c</math> where <math display="inline">\pi: \R^m \to \R^{m-c}</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
For <math display="inline">y \in |T| - \R^{m-c}</math>, the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> at <math display="inline">y</math> is the orthogonal complement of <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> in <math display="inline">\R^m</math>. By the Whitney conditions, we have that for <math display="inline">y</math> near <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> is close to the set of <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> planes in <math display="inline">m-</math>space to an <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> plane in <math display="inline">TY_y</math>. Therefore, for <math display="inline">y</math> near enough to <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">TY_y</math> is transverse to the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> and, therefore, is a submersion when restricted to <math display="inline">Y</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
To prove that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
Therefore, there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_0</math> of <math display="inline">X_0</math> satisfying
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_0(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_0(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
From this we can prove that <math display="inline">T_0</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. Replacing <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a smaller tubular neighbourhood if necessary we can assume <math display="inline">m \in |T_0|</math> such that for some <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_0(m) \in |T_Y|</math>, then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">h \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y(m) = h(m).</math>
By the generalised tubular neighourhood theorem [prop 7.2?], we can replace <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T</math> of <math display="inline">X</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. This completes the construction of <math display="inline">T_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491.</ref>
This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an '''abstract stratified set''' with axioms...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491-492.</ref>
This also makes <math display="inline">h</math> a '''controlled submersion''' because
# <math display="inline">h|X: X \to \R</math> is a smooth submersion on each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, and
# for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> there is a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_X</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_X(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in T'_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>

Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.

We define a '''stratified vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a family of smooth vector fields <math display="inline">\eta_X</math>, one for each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
We define a '''controlled vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a stratified vector field such that for any strata <math display="inline">Y</math> there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_Y</math> such that for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and any <math display="inline">v \in T'_X \cap X</math><ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
<math display="block">\eta_X \rho_{Y,X}(v) = 0,</math>
<math display="block">(\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) = \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)).</math>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is a controlled submersion then, for any smooth vector field <math display="inline">\zeta</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math> there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> such that <math display="inline">h_* \eta(v) = \zeta(h(v))</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
Proceeding by induction on the maximum dimension of the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>, we define <math display="inline">Z_k</math> to be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>. The tubular neighbourhood of <math display="inline">Z_k</math> is the intersection of the tubular neighbourhoods of each strata in <math display="inline">Z_k</math> with <math display="inline">Z</math>. The projection and distance functions are the restrictions of the respective functions of <math display="inline">Z</math>.
It is trivially true when the maximum dimension of strata in <math display="inline">Z</math> is zero. Assume it is true for <math display="inline">k</math> and construct each <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> separately for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension <math display="inline">k + 1</math>.
By the assumption that we have controlled vector fields for all strata <math display="inline">Y</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>, we have the two control conditions defined above for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and that there is a neighbourhood <math display="inline">T^1_Y</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_Y(v)</math> for <math display="inline">v \in T^1_Y</math>.
We want to prove that for all <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, the control conditions are satisfied for all <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math> and that <math display="inline">h_*\eta_X(v) = \zeta(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in X</math>.
Take a point <math display="inline">x \in X</math> and define the set <math display="inline">S_v</math> of strata <math display="inline">Y < X</math> such that <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math>. <math display="inline">S_v</math> is totally ordered since if <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_2</math> are not comparable then <math display="inline">T^2_{Y_1} \cap T^2_{Y_2} = \empty</math>. Therefore, there is a largest member <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>.
Assume the control conditions hold for <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>. Then they hold for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. For, either <math display="inline">Y_i = Y</math> or <math display="inline">Y_i < Y</math>. In the latter case, <math display="inline">\pi_Y(v) \in T^1_{Y_i}</math> (by the choice of <math display="inline">T^2_Y</math>'s [is this why?]. Then
<math display="block">\begin{align}
\eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,X}(v) &= \eta_X \rho_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= \eta_Y(\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= 0
\end{align}</math>
and
<math display="block">\begin{align}
(\pi_{Y_i,X})_* \eta_X(v) &= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* \eta_Y(v) (\pi_{Y,X}) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,X}(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, condition holds for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. Also,
<math display="block">\begin{align}
h_* \eta_X(v) &= (h \circ \pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= h_* \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \zeta(f(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, the conclusion of the theorem holds at <math display="inline">v</math>.
This shows we can construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> satisfying the control conditions when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is non-empty and satisfying the theorem when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is empty. The set of vectors satisfying these conditions is convex in <math display="inline">TX_v</math>, and so we construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> globally via a partition of unity.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493-495.</ref>
Finally, we prove that a controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, this combines Proposition 10.1 and Corollary 10.2 on pp. 496 and 497, respectively.</ref>
For each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> generates a unique smooth local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> of diffeomorphisms of <math display="inline">X</math> (by standard results of differential geometry), such that <math display="inline">\frac{d}{dt} \alpha(t, v)|_{t=0} = \eta_X(v)</math>, <math display="inline">J_X</math> is an open subset of <math display="inline">\R \times Z</math>, ...
If we define <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> by
<math display="block">J = \bigcup_{X \in S} J_X</math>
<math display="block">\alpha = \bigcup_{X \in S} \alpha_X</math>
we can prove that this is a local one-parameter family of homeomorphisms.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
Firstly, it is clear that
# <math display="inline">0 \times Z \subseteq J</math> and <math display="inline">\alpha(0, v) = v</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> then <math display="inline">J_v = J \cap (\R \times v) \subseteq \R</math> is an open interval <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math>, possibly infinite at one or both ends.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and <math display="inline">t, s, t + s</math> are in <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> then <math display="inline">\alpha(t + s, v) = \alpha(t, \alpha(s, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
Secondly, it is clear that <math display="inline">\eta</math> generates <math display="inline">\alpha</math> because
# Each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math> is invariant under <math display="inline">\alpha</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">\alpha[J \cap (\R \times X)] \subseteq X</math>.
# For each <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>, the map <math display="inline">t \to \alpha(t, v)</math> of <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> into the stratum which contains <math display="inline">v</math> is <math display="inline">C^1</math>.
# For any <math display="inline">(t, v) \in Z</math>(?) we have <math display="inline">d/dt \alpha(t, v) = \eta(\alpha(t, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
It is unique because each <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> is unique. We just need to prove that <math display="inline">J</math> is open, <math display="inline">\alpha</math> is continuous, and for any <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and any compact set <math display="inline">K \subseteq Z</math> there exists <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> such that <math display="inline">\alpha(t, v) \notin K</math> if <math display="inline">t \in (a_v, a_v + \epsilon) \cup (b_v - \epsilon, b_v)</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
For the latter-most condition, if it did not hold then there exists...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496-497.</ref>
We prove there is a homeomorphism <math display="inline">f: Z \to h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>, where <math display="inline">\pi: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to \R</math> is projection to the second factor.
For the coordinate vector field <math display="inline">\partial</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math>, by [prop 9.1] there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> such that <math display="inline">f_* \tilde\partial(v) = \partial(h(v))</math> for <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>. By [prop 10.1], <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> generates a local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> such that
<math display="block">h(\alpha(t,v)) = h(v) + t</math>
<math display="inline">h</math> is proper and [d] holds, so <math display="inline">J = \R \times Z</math>. If we define <math display="inline">f</math> as
<math display="block">f(v) = (\alpha(-t, v), h(v))</math>
then <math display="inline">f</math> maps <math display="inline">Z</math> into <math display="inline">h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> and <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>. If we define <math display="inline">\bar f: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to Z</math> as
<math display="block">\bar f(v, t) = \alpha(t, v)</math>
then <math display="inline">f \bar f = \bar f f = Id</math> and <math display="inline">f</math> is a homeomorphism.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 497.</ref>
== Topology at critical points ==
Theorem: If there is a critical point <math display="inline">p</math> in the singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> with critical value <math display="inline">v \in (a, b)</math> then the space <math display="inline">X_{\leq b}</math> is homotopic to<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
<math display="block">X_{\leq a} \cup [(D^{\lambda+1}, \partial D^{\lambda+1}) \times (\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)].</math>

# <math display="inline">X_{\leq v + \epsilon}</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">X_{\leq v - \epsilon} \cup (J, K)</math>, where the latter is the local Morse data for <math display="inline">h</math> at <math display="inline">p</math>. We do this by moving the wall...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96, 120-121.</ref>

We get this immediately(?) by Thom's Isotopy Lemma.
=== Step 2 ===
<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, complex case on pp. 120-121 is extension of real case on pp. 95-96.</ref>
We take our space <math display="inline">M</math> and map it onto <math display="inline">\R^2</math> with the map <math display="inline">F(z) = (r(z), h(z))</math>, where <math display="inline">z \in M</math> and <math display="inline">r</math> is the square of the distance of <math display="inline">z</math> to the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
[graph of mapping]
What we want is a homeomorphism in <math display="inline">M</math> between the space <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon}</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B</math>, where <math display="inline">B</math> is a small region of the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>. The '''local Morse data''' is
<math display="block">((B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}[v-\epsilon, v+\epsilon], (B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}(v-\epsilon))</math>
where <math display="inline">B_\delta</math> is a closed disc in <math display="inline">M</math> of radius <math display="inline">\delta</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 63-64.</ref>
[picture of the two subspaces of Z in M]
We use our map <math display="inline">F</math> to convert these two subspaces to subspaces of <math display="inline">\R^2</math> which are of the form <math display="inline">Y_1 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq \epsilon\}</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq -\epsilon\} \cup \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | x \leq \delta, y \leq \epsilon\}</math>, such that <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} = F^{-1}(Y_1)</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B = F^{-1}(Y_0)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96.</ref>
We use a homeomorphism between <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0</math> using the technique of "moving the wall" and Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 4, particularly pp. 71-72.</ref>
For the composition
<math display="block">Z \times \R \subset M \times \R \to_{F \times I} Y \subset \R^2 \times \R \to_{\pi} \R</math>
where <math display="inline">Y(t, z) = Y_t(z)</math>, <math display="inline">I</math> is the identity and <math display="inline">\pi</math> is projection to the second factor.
<math display="inline">Z \times \R</math> is transverse to <math display="inline">(F \times I)^{-1}(Y)</math>...
The composition <math display="inline">\pi \circ (F \times I): Z \times \R \cap (F \times I)^{-1}(Y) \to \R</math> is a stratified submersion...
Therefore, we can apply Thom's Isotopy Lemma which says there is a homeomorphism between the level sets of <math display="inline">Z \times \R</math>...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 72.</ref>

Steps(?)
* Explain topology
* Every point of a stratum is locally like a product structure (proved by Thom's Isotopy Lemma) [GM pp. 41-42]

=== Homotopy ===
We want to replace our domain of convergence <math display="inline">M</math>, which is the complement of our singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>, with an "equivalent" space <math display="inline">M'</math> which has better understood properties. We say "equivalent" because there are several different things we could mean by "equivalent" in this context. The equivalence we are referring to in this section is called '''homotopy'''.
Imagine two subspaces <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> of a space <math display="inline">Y</math> which are defined respectively by smooth functions <math display="inline">f, g: X \to Y</math>. If there exists a smooth function <math display="inline">h_s: X \times [0, 1] \to Y</math>, called a homotopy, such that <math display="inline">h_0 = f</math>, <math display="inline">h_1 = g</math> and for any <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> there exists a <math display="inline">\delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">\delta_b</math> such that when <math display="inline">|s - s_0| < \delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">|x - x_0| < \delta_b</math> we have <math display="inline">|h_s(x) - h_{s_0}(x_0)| < \epsilon</math>, then we say <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are '''homotopic'''.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 251-252.</ref>
Below is an example where <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are one-dimensional curves and <math display="inline">H(t, s) = h_s(t)</math>.
[[File:Homotopy_curves.png|300px]]
In [[#Homotopy_equivalence|Appendix A]], we formally prove that we can construct an equivalent space <math display="inline">M'</math>. We provide only an example to give some intuition before describing how to construct the space <math display="inline">M'</math> in terms of local cycles around critical points.
=== Motivating example ===
Imagine a torus and a height function which is just the z value of the point.
[[File:3D-Leveltorus.png|200px]]
It has four critical points: two at the top and bottom of the outer circle (<math display="inline">p_1, p_4</math>) and two at the top and bottom of the inner circle (<math display="inline">p_2, p_3</math>).
[picture]
When the height is between the <math display="inline">p_1</math> and <math display="inline">p_2</math>, the space is a two-cell, which can be retracted to a point.
[picture]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_2</math> and <math display="inline">p_3</math>, the space is a cylinder, which can be retracted to a two-cell with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_and_disk_with_handle.png|200px]]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_3</math> and <math display="inline">p_4</math>, the space is a torus with a disc removed, which can be retracted to a cylinder with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_with_handle_and_torus_with_hole.png|200px]]
When the height is greater than <math display="inline">p_4</math>, then the full torus is constructed by attaching a two-cell.
[Explain in terms of Morse data and Morse index?]
=== Morse data and quasi-local cycles ===
As in the above example, we start at the "bottom" of <math display="inline">M</math> and build upwards until just before we reach our first critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.

[Assuming no CVAI...]
Theorem:
# Homotopy equivalence between M_{\leq a} and M_{\leq b}...
# If in a range <math display="inline">[a, b]</math> there are no CVAI and only one critical value <math display="inline">c</math>, not equal to either <math display="inline">a</math> or <math display="inline">b</math>, with one or more critical points <math display="inline">z_1, \cdots, z_m</math> then there is a stratified flow deforming any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a (homotopic?) chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{<c}</math> with sufficiently small balls around each critical point. This induces a homotopy between <math display="inline">(M_{c+\epsilon}, M_{c-\epsilon})</math> and the direct sum of <math display="inline">(M_{c-\epsilon} \cup B_{2\epsilon}(z_i), M_{c-\epsilon})</math> for each critical point <math display="inline">z_i</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 231.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>

Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
We can (potentially) define a function to implement this flow. Define <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> where <math display="inline">x</math> are points in the space and <math display="inline">t</math> is something like time. As <math display="inline">t</math> goes from zero to some positive number, <math display="inline">\Phi</math> moves the points <math display="inline">x</math> along the vectors. To describe this process formally, we say <math display="inline">\Phi</math> is the solution to the differential equation
<math display="block">\frac{d}{dt} \Phi(x, t) = v(x).</math>
We want a particular vector field <math display="inline">v</math> with certain properties... The proof of the existence of this vector field is long and complicated and we will not go into it here.<ref>It involves concepts such as Thom's isotopy lemma and Mather's controlled vector flows. See Mather 2012.</ref>
Using this vector field <math display="inline">v</math> but modified so as to be zero on <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>. This vector field defines a function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> such that
* <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t) = v(x)</math> when <math display="inline">h(x) \in (a, b]</math>.
* <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> is defined for <math display="inline">0 \leq t \leq h(x) - a</math> and in this range <math display="inline">h(\Phi(x, t)) = h(x) - t</math>.
* the map <math display="inline">\psi(x) = \Phi(x, b - a)</math> is a continuous map on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> with range (image?) <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math> and fixing <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>.
The function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, 0)</math> is the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\Phi(x, b - a) = \psi(x)</math>, therefore <math display="inline">\Phi</math> in the range <math display="inline">[0, b - a]</math> is a homotopy between the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\psi</math>.

Define the distance from a critical point <math display="inline">\kappa(x) = \min\{ |x - z_i| : z_1, \cdots, z_m \}</math>. For <math display="inline">s > 0 </math> we define a new vector field
<math display="block">v_s(x) = \begin{cases}
v(x) & \kappa(x) \geq s \\

Define <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> as the function such that <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t)_s = v_s(x)</math>. The height function <math display="inline">h</math> is non-increasing along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> (by implication of bullet point 2?) so points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> stay in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c - \epsilon}</math> when flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> and therefore <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> is a homotopy equivalence between <math display="inline">(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math> and <math display="inline">(\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon), M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math>. By <math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> we mean the space <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> for a short period of time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
[Prove it has the same critical points and is proper?]
<math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> takes points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> except for those that come within <math display="inline">s</math> of a critical point within time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
Therefore, we see how we <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> can homotopically deform a chain in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> and small neighbourhoods of critical points.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 234-235.</ref>
On the assumption of this theorem, we can start with any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> and deform this chain to <math display="inline">M_{c_1+}</math> using part 1. Then we deform this chain to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> and small balls around the critical points. The (sub?)chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> is then deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2+}</math>, which is deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2-} \cup z_{c_2}</math>, and so on. Eventually, we get to <math display="inline">M_{c_j-}</math> which is homotopic to any space "below" it. Therefore, we have deformed our chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a homotopic chain in the union of small balls around critical points.<ref>Baryshnikov, Melczer and Pemantle 2022, pp. ???.</ref><ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 217???</ref>

== Introduction ==
Morse theory tells us that the topology of M only changes at its critical points.
The "Morse data" tells us the topology at each critical point.
Attaching this Morse data together gives us a space which is homopotically eqivalent to M.
This space is a "cell complex", which has an easy to calculate homology.
Theorem: Our domain of convergence is homotopic to a cell complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>This is theorem D.23 in Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546. Also theorem in section 1.2*/5.2* in SMT pp. 200.</ref>
Proof:
# <math display="inline">X</math> is our entire domain, <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> our variety
# Project our entire domain to complex projective space <math display="inline">Z = \pi(X) \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n - H</math> [define H]
# Define a linear subspace <math display="inline">G \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d - 1</math>
# Define a Morse function on <math display="inline">f: \C\mathbb{P}^n \to \R</math> which approximates the distance from <math display="inline">G</math> and such that <math display="inline">f^{-1}(0) = G</math> and <math display="inline">f^{-1}(1) = H</math>
# We "build" <math display="inline">X - \mathcal{V}</math> from <math display="inline">\pi^{-1}(G \cap Z) \cap (X - \mathcal{V})</math> by attaching CW complexes at critical points which are of at most dimension <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# At a critical point, the normal Morse data is <math display="inline">(J, K) = \coprod_x (J_x, K_x)</math> and the relative complex link is <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}^\pi = \coprod_x \mathcal{L}_x</math>
# We show that the quotient <math display="inline">J_x/K_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension <math display="inline">\leq 2n - d - 1</math>
# The neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> in <math display="inline">J_x</math> is homeomorphic to the cone in <math display="inline">L_x(X - \mathcal{V})</math>, and removing the point <math display="inline">x</math> increases the homotopy dimension to at most the homotopy dimension of <math display="inline">L_x</math>
# <math display="inline">(J_x \cup \{x\}, K_x)</math> is homotopic to <math display="inline">(\text{cone}(\mathcal{L}_x), \mathcal{L}_x)</math>
# <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# The tangential Morse data at the critical point is homotopic to the pair <math display="inline">(D^\lambda, \partial D^\lambda)</math>
# Therefore, at each critical point a space has been added homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.
Theorem: If <math display="inline">X</math> is the complement in <math display="inline">\C^n</math> of a complex variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d</math> then <math display="inline">X</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546.</ref>
Proof:
# We build <math display="inline">X</math> by attaching cells of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math> at each critical point.
## Prove that we can do this without changing the homotopy(?)
## We use Thom's Isotopy Lemma to prove that there is a strong deformation retraction, stopping only at critical points.
# Prove these cells are a product of the normal and tangential Morse data.
## Normal data: <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}(S), \partial \mathcal{L}(S)) \times (D^1, \partial D^1)</math> [GM pp. 18]
## Tangential data: <math display="inline">(B_\delta \cap f^{-1}[v - \epsilon, v + \epsilon], B_\delta \cap f^{-1}(v - \epsilon))</math> for <math display="inline">f</math> restricted to <math display="inline">X</math> (or <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>?) [GM pp. 63-64]
# If <math display="inline">k</math> is the dimension of the strata, then
## If <math display="inline">k = d</math> then it is a smooth point and the cell is the product of <math display="inline">S^{2(n-d)-1}</math> and the tangential data is dimension at most <math display="inline">d</math>.
## If <math display="inline">k < d</math>, ...

Theorem: Suppose <math display="inline">Z</math> is a closed subset of a smooth manifold <math display="inline">M</math> which admits a Whitney stratification and <math display="inline">h : M \to \R</math> is a proper Morse function which has no critical values on <math display="inline">Z</math>. Then, the level sets of <math display="inline">Z</math> are homeomorphic by a homeomorphism that preserves the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>For various versions of the full statement of the theorem, see Mather 2012, pp. 499, Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 41, or Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 541.</ref>
Proof:
# Construct control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.
## [Prop 7.1] If <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an abstract stratified set and <math display="inline">f</math> a controlled submersion.
# A controlled submersion has, for any smooth vector field on <math display="inline">\R</math>, a controlled vector field on <math display="inline">Z</math> (a "lift"?)<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
# A controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">h</math> a locally trivial fibration. [Prop 10.2]<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 499.</ref>
Control data:
A system of '''control data''' for <math display="inline">Z</math> consists of, for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>,
* a '''tubular neighbourhood''' <math display="inline">T_X</math> of <math display="inline">X</math>
* a '''tubular projection function''' <math display="inline">\pi_X: T_X \to X</math>, and
* a '''tubular distance function''' <math display="inline">\rho_X: T_X \to \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\rho_X^{-1}(0) = X</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 42.</ref>
[illustration]
such that if <math display="inline">X < Y</math> are strata in <math display="inline">Z</math>, then
<math display="block">\pi_X \pi_Y(m) = \pi_X(m),</math>
<math display="block">\rho_X \pi_Y(m) = \rho_X(m)</math>
for all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X| \cap |T_Y|</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi_Y(m) \in |T_X|</math>.
If, for all strata <math display="inline">X</math> and all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X|</math>, we have <math display="inline">h \pi_X(m) = h(m)</math>, then this control data will be said to be compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488, prop 7.1.</ref>
Let <math display="inline">Z_k</math> be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. We prove by induction on <math display="inline">k</math>.
To construct the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_X</math> of a stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. For <math display="inline">l \leq k</math>, let <math display="inline">U_l</math> denote the union of all <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> for <math display="inline">Y < X</math> and <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l</math>. Let <math display="inline">X_l = U_l \cap X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
For <math display="inline">l = k</math>, <math display="inline">X_k = \empty</math>. Assume by induction that <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> has been constructed and that if <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l + 1</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{l+1} = \pi_{T_{l+1}}</math>) then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489-490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We wish to construct a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> of <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X</math> whose restriction to <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X_{l+1}</math> is isomorphic to the restriction of <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> such that if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{X,Y}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y} = \pi_{T_{X,Y}}</math>) then
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
By shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> if necessary, this relation is already satisfied if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> with <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}</math>. By the definition, if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}|</math> then there exists <math display="inline">Z < X</math> with <math display="inline">\dim Z > l</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Z|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Z|</math>. We have that <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y| \cap |T_Z|</math> and therefore <math display="inline">Y < Z</math>. Therefore<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We can prove that, by shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math>, <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X \to \R \times Y</math> is a submersion [prop 7.3?] and that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y) \pi_{X,Y}(m) = (\rho_Y, \pi_Y)(m)</math>(?).
To prove it is a submersion, for the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T = (E, \epsilon, \psi)</math> there exists a smooth positive function <math display="inline">\epsilon'</math> such that
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): Y \cap |T|_{\epsilon'}^0 \to \R \times X,</math>
where <math display="inline">|T|_{\epsilon'}^0 = \psi(B_\epsilon \cap B_{\epsilon'})</math>, is a submersion. If <math display="inline">\Sigma</math> is the set <math display="inline">y \in |T|</math> such that the rank of
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): T \cap |T| \to \R \times X</math>
at <math display="inline">y</math> is less than <math display="inline">\dim(\R \times X)</math>. We need to prove that for any <math display="inline">x \in X</math> there exists a neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> which does not intersect with <math display="inline">\Sigma</math>, i.e. the map is not a submersion in this neighbourhood. It follows from [lemma 7.2] that it is enough to prove for <math display="inline">M = \R^m</math>, <math display="inline">X = \R^{m-c} \times 0_c</math> and <math display="inline">T</math> is the '''standard tubular neighbourhood'''.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
By standard tubular neighbourhood, we mean the trivial bundle with base <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math> and fibre <math display="inline">\R^c</math> where <math display="inline">\pi: \R^m \to \R^{m-c}</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
For <math display="inline">y \in |T| - \R^{m-c}</math>, the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> at <math display="inline">y</math> is the orthogonal complement of <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> in <math display="inline">\R^m</math>. By the Whitney conditions, we have that for <math display="inline">y</math> near <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> is close to the set of <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> planes in <math display="inline">m-</math>space to an <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> plane in <math display="inline">TY_y</math>. Therefore, for <math display="inline">y</math> near enough to <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">TY_y</math> is transverse to the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> and, therefore, is a submersion when restricted to <math display="inline">Y</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
To prove that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
Therefore, there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_0</math> of <math display="inline">X_0</math> satisfying
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_0(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_0(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
From this we can prove that <math display="inline">T_0</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. Replacing <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a smaller tubular neighbourhood if necessary we can assume <math display="inline">m \in |T_0|</math> such that for some <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_0(m) \in |T_Y|</math>, then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">h \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y(m) = h(m).</math>
By the generalised tubular neighourhood theorem [prop 7.2?], we can replace <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T</math> of <math display="inline">X</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. This completes the construction of <math display="inline">T_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491.</ref>
This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an '''abstract stratified set''' with axioms...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491-492.</ref>
This also makes <math display="inline">h</math> a '''controlled submersion''' because
# <math display="inline">h|X: X \to \R</math> is a smooth submersion on each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, and
# for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> there is a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_X</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_X(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in T'_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.

We define a '''stratified vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a family of smooth vector fields <math display="inline">\eta_X</math>, one for each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
We define a '''controlled vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a stratified vector field such that for any strata <math display="inline">Y</math> there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_Y</math> such that for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and any <math display="inline">v \in T'_X \cap X</math><ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
<math display="block">\eta_X \rho_{Y,X}(v) = 0,</math>
<math display="block">(\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) = \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)).</math>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is a controlled submersion then, for any smooth vector field <math display="inline">\zeta</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math> there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> such that <math display="inline">h_* \eta(v) = \zeta(h(v))</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
Proceeding by induction on the maximum dimension of the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>, we define <math display="inline">Z_k</math> to be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>. The tubular neighbourhood of <math display="inline">Z_k</math> is the intersection of the tubular neighbourhoods of each strata in <math display="inline">Z_k</math> with <math display="inline">Z</math>. The projection and distance functions are the restrictions of the respective functions of <math display="inline">Z</math>.
It is trivially true when the maximum dimension of strata in <math display="inline">Z</math> is zero. Assume it is true for <math display="inline">k</math> and construct each <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> separately for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension <math display="inline">k + 1</math>.
By the assumption that we have controlled vector fields for all strata <math display="inline">Y</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>, we have the two control conditions defined above for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and that there is a neighbourhood <math display="inline">T^1_Y</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_Y(v)</math> for <math display="inline">v \in T^1_Y</math>.
We want to prove that for all <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, the control conditions are satisfied for all <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math> and that <math display="inline">h_*\eta_X(v) = \zeta(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in X</math>.
Take a point <math display="inline">x \in X</math> and define the set <math display="inline">S_v</math> of strata <math display="inline">Y < X</math> such that <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math>. <math display="inline">S_v</math> is totally ordered since if <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_2</math> are not comparable then <math display="inline">T^2_{Y_1} \cap T^2_{Y_2} = \empty</math>. Therefore, there is a largest member <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>.
Assume the control conditions hold for <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>. Then they hold for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. For, either <math display="inline">Y_i = Y</math> or <math display="inline">Y_i < Y</math>. In the latter case, <math display="inline">\pi_Y(v) \in T^1_{Y_i}</math> (by the choice of <math display="inline">T^2_Y</math>'s [is this why?]. Then
<math display="block">\begin{align}
\eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,X}(v) &= \eta_X \rho_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= \eta_Y(\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= 0
\end{align}</math>
and
<math display="block">\begin{align}
(\pi_{Y_i,X})_* \eta_X(v) &= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* \eta_Y(v) (\pi_{Y,X}) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,X}(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, condition holds for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. Also,
<math display="block">\begin{align}
h_* \eta_X(v) &= (h \circ \pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= h_* \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \zeta(f(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, the conclusion of the theorem holds at <math display="inline">v</math>.
This shows we can construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> satisfying the control conditions when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is non-empty and satisfying the theorem when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is empty. The set of vectors satisfying these conditions is convex in <math display="inline">TX_v</math>, and so we construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> globally via a partition of unity.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493-495.</ref>
Finally, we prove that a controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, this combines Proposition 10.1 and Corollary 10.2 on pp. 496 and 497, respectively.</ref>
For each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> generates a unique smooth local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> of diffeomorphisms of <math display="inline">X</math> (by standard results of differential geometry), such that <math display="inline">\frac{d}{dt} \alpha(t, v)|_{t=0} = \eta_X(v)</math>, <math display="inline">J_X</math> is an open subset of <math display="inline">\R \times Z</math>, ...
If we define <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> by
<math display="block">J = \bigcup_{X \in S} J_X</math>
<math display="block">\alpha = \bigcup_{X \in S} \alpha_X</math>
we can prove that this is a local one-parameter family of homeomorphisms.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
Firstly, it is clear that
# <math display="inline">0 \times Z \subseteq J</math> and <math display="inline">\alpha(0, v) = v</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> then <math display="inline">J_v = J \cap (\R \times v) \subseteq \R</math> is an open interval <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math>, possibly infinite at one or both ends.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and <math display="inline">t, s, t + s</math> are in <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> then <math display="inline">\alpha(t + s, v) = \alpha(t, \alpha(s, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
Secondly, it is clear that <math display="inline">\eta</math> generates <math display="inline">\alpha</math> because
# Each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math> is invariant under <math display="inline">\alpha</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">\alpha[J \cap (\R \times X)] \subseteq X</math>.
# For each <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>, the map <math display="inline">t \to \alpha(t, v)</math> of <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> into the stratum which contains <math display="inline">v</math> is <math display="inline">C^1</math>.
# For any <math display="inline">(t, v) \in Z</math>(?) we have <math display="inline">d/dt \alpha(t, v) = \eta(\alpha(t, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
It is unique because each <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> is unique. We just need to prove that <math display="inline">J</math> is open, <math display="inline">\alpha</math> is continuous, and for any <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and any compact set <math display="inline">K \subseteq Z</math> there exists <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> such that <math display="inline">\alpha(t, v) \notin K</math> if <math display="inline">t \in (a_v, a_v + \epsilon) \cup (b_v - \epsilon, b_v)</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
For the latter-most condition, if it did not hold then there exists...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496-497.</ref>
We prove there is a homeomorphism <math display="inline">f: Z \to h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>, where <math display="inline">\pi: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to \R</math> is projection to the second factor.
For the coordinate vector field <math display="inline">\partial</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math>, by [prop 9.1] there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> such that <math display="inline">f_* \tilde\partial(v) = \partial(h(v))</math> for <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>. By [prop 10.1], <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> generates a local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> such that
<math display="block">h(\alpha(t,v)) = h(v) + t</math>
<math display="inline">h</math> is proper and [d] holds, so <math display="inline">J = \R \times Z</math>. If we define <math display="inline">f</math> as
<math display="block">f(v) = (\alpha(-t, v), h(v))</math>
then <math display="inline">f</math> maps <math display="inline">Z</math> into <math display="inline">h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> and <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>. If we define <math display="inline">\bar f: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to Z</math> as
<math display="block">\bar f(v, t) = \alpha(t, v)</math>
then <math display="inline">f \bar f = \bar f f = Id</math> and <math display="inline">f</math> is a homeomorphism.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 497.</ref>
== Topology at critical points ==
Theorem: If there is a critical point <math display="inline">p</math> in the singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> with critical value <math display="inline">v \in (a, b)</math> then the space <math display="inline">X_{\leq b}</math> is homotopic to<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
<math display="block">X_{\leq a} \cup [(D^{\lambda+1}, \partial D^{\lambda+1}) \times (\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)].</math>
Proof:<ref>Proof outline comes from Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
# <math display="inline">(X_{\leq b}, X_{\leq a})</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">(X_{\leq v + \epsilon}, X_{\leq v -\epsilon})</math>. We can prove this by "moving wall" or Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 90-91, 120.</ref>
# <math display="inline">X_{\leq v + \epsilon}</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">X_{\leq v - \epsilon} \cup (J, K)</math>, where the latter is the local Morse data for <math display="inline">h</math> at <math display="inline">p</math>. We do this by moving the wall...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96, 120-121.</ref>
# <math display="inline">(J, K)</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">(D^{\lambda+1}, \partial D^{\lambda+1}) \times (\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)</math> (tangential data, normal data). Again, moving the wall...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 65-66, chapter 8, 121.</ref>
# The normal Morse data depends only on the differential <math display="inline">df(p)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 93.</ref>
# The normal Morse data has the homotopy type of <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 169.</ref>
=== Step 1 ===
We get this immediately(?) by Thom's Isotopy Lemma.
=== Step 2 ===
<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, complex case on pp. 120-121 is extension of real case on pp. 95-96.</ref>
We take our space <math display="inline">M</math> and map it onto <math display="inline">\R^2</math> with the map <math display="inline">F(z) = (r(z), h(z))</math>, where <math display="inline">z \in M</math> and <math display="inline">r</math> is the square of the distance of <math display="inline">z</math> to the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
[graph of mapping]
What we want is a homeomorphism in <math display="inline">M</math> between the space <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon}</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B</math>, where <math display="inline">B</math> is a small region of the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>. The '''local Morse data''' is
<math display="block">((B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}[v-\epsilon, v+\epsilon], (B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}(v-\epsilon))</math>
where <math display="inline">B_\delta</math> is a closed disc in <math display="inline">M</math> of radius <math display="inline">\delta</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 63-64.</ref> Observe that this is the pair <math display="inline">(F^{-1}(\text{Box}(\delta, \epsilon)), F^{-1}(\text{Bottom}(\delta, \epsilon)))</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 91.</ref> [explain Box, Bottom, etc.]
[picture of the two subspaces of Z in M]
We use our map <math display="inline">F</math> to convert these two subspaces to subspaces of <math display="inline">\R^2</math> which are of the form <math display="inline">Y_1 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq \epsilon\}</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq -\epsilon\} \cup \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | x \leq \delta, y \leq \epsilon\}</math>, such that <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} = F^{-1}(Y_1)</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B = F^{-1}(Y_0)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96.</ref>
We use a homeomorphism between <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0</math> using the technique of "moving the wall" and Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 4, particularly pp. 71-72.</ref>
For the composition
<math display="block">Z \times \R \subset M \times \R \to_{F \times I} Y \subset \R^2 \times \R \to_{\pi} \R</math>
where <math display="inline">Y(t, z) = Y_t(z)</math>, <math display="inline">I</math> is the identity and <math display="inline">\pi</math> is projection to the second factor.
<math display="inline">Z \times \R</math> is transverse to <math display="inline">(F \times I)^{-1}(Y)</math>...
The composition <math display="inline">\pi \circ (F \times I): Z \times \R \cap (F \times I)^{-1}(Y) \to \R</math> is a stratified submersion...
Therefore, we can apply Thom's Isotopy Lemma which says there is a homeomorphism between the level sets of <math display="inline">Z \times \R</math>...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 72.</ref>
=== Step 3 ===
== Morse theory ==
Steps(?)
* Explain topology
* Every point of a stratum is locally like a product structure (proved by Thom's Isotopy Lemma) [GM pp. 41-42]
** Including those around critical points, which are the product of normal and tangential Morse data (these are our quasi-local cycles?)
* Thom's Isotopy Lemma proves a strong deformation retraction (which only stops at critical points) [PWM pp. 541-542]
=== Homotopy ===
We want to replace our domain of convergence <math display="inline">M</math>, which is the complement of our singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>, with an "equivalent" space <math display="inline">M'</math> which has better understood properties. We say "equivalent" because there are several different things we could mean by "equivalent" in this context. The equivalence we are referring to in this section is called '''homotopy'''.
Imagine two subspaces <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> of a space <math display="inline">Y</math> which are defined respectively by smooth functions <math display="inline">f, g: X \to Y</math>. If there exists a smooth function <math display="inline">h_s: X \times [0, 1] \to Y</math>, called a homotopy, such that <math display="inline">h_0 = f</math>, <math display="inline">h_1 = g</math> and for any <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> there exists a <math display="inline">\delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">\delta_b</math> such that when <math display="inline">|s - s_0| < \delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">|x - x_0| < \delta_b</math> we have <math display="inline">|h_s(x) - h_{s_0}(x_0)| < \epsilon</math>, then we say <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are '''homotopic'''.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 251-252.</ref>
Below is an example where <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are one-dimensional curves and <math display="inline">H(t, s) = h_s(t)</math>.
[[File:Homotopy_curves.png|300px]]
In [[#Homotopy_equivalence|Appendix A]], we formally prove that we can construct an equivalent space <math display="inline">M'</math>. We provide only an example to give some intuition before describing how to construct the space <math display="inline">M'</math> in terms of local cycles around critical points.
=== Motivating example ===
Imagine a torus and a height function which is just the z value of the point.
[[File:3D-Leveltorus.png|200px]]
It has four critical points: two at the top and bottom of the outer circle (<math display="inline">p_1, p_4</math>) and two at the top and bottom of the inner circle (<math display="inline">p_2, p_3</math>).
[picture]
When the height is between the <math display="inline">p_1</math> and <math display="inline">p_2</math>, the space is a two-cell, which can be retracted to a point.
[picture]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_2</math> and <math display="inline">p_3</math>, the space is a cylinder, which can be retracted to a two-cell with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_and_disk_with_handle.png|200px]]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_3</math> and <math display="inline">p_4</math>, the space is a torus with a disc removed, which can be retracted to a cylinder with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_with_handle_and_torus_with_hole.png|200px]]
When the height is greater than <math display="inline">p_4</math>, then the full torus is constructed by attaching a two-cell.
[Explain in terms of Morse data and Morse index?]
=== Morse data and quasi-local cycles ===
As in the above example, we start at the "bottom" of <math display="inline">M</math> and build upwards until just before we reach our first critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.

== Appendix ==
=== Homotopy equivalence ===
[Assuming no CVAI...]
Theorem:
# Homotopy equivalence between M_{\leq a} and M_{\leq b}...
# If in a range <math display="inline">[a, b]</math> there are no CVAI and only one critical value <math display="inline">c</math>, not equal to either <math display="inline">a</math> or <math display="inline">b</math>, with one or more critical points <math display="inline">z_1, \cdots, z_m</math> then there is a stratified flow deforming any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a (homotopic?) chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{<c}</math> with sufficiently small balls around each critical point. This induces a homotopy between <math display="inline">(M_{c+\epsilon}, M_{c-\epsilon})</math> and the direct sum of <math display="inline">(M_{c-\epsilon} \cup B_{2\epsilon}(z_i), M_{c-\epsilon})</math> for each critical point <math display="inline">z_i</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 231.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
We can (potentially) define a function to implement this flow. Define <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> where <math display="inline">x</math> are points in the space and <math display="inline">t</math> is something like time. As <math display="inline">t</math> goes from zero to some positive number, <math display="inline">\Phi</math> moves the points <math display="inline">x</math> along the vectors. To describe this process formally, we say <math display="inline">\Phi</math> is the solution to the differential equation
<math display="block">\frac{d}{dt} \Phi(x, t) = v(x).</math>
We want a particular vector field <math display="inline">v</math> with certain properties... The proof of the existence of this vector field is long and complicated and we will not go into it here.<ref>It involves concepts such as Thom's isotopy lemma and Mather's controlled vector flows. See Mather 2012.</ref>
Using this vector field <math display="inline">v</math> but modified so as to be zero on <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>. This vector field defines a function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> such that
* <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t) = v(x)</math> when <math display="inline">h(x) \in (a, b]</math>.
* <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> is defined for <math display="inline">0 \leq t \leq h(x) - a</math> and in this range <math display="inline">h(\Phi(x, t)) = h(x) - t</math>.
* the map <math display="inline">\psi(x) = \Phi(x, b - a)</math> is a continuous map on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> with range (image?) <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math> and fixing <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>.
The function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, 0)</math> is the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\Phi(x, b - a) = \psi(x)</math>, therefore <math display="inline">\Phi</math> in the range <math display="inline">[0, b - a]</math> is a homotopy between the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\psi</math>. This implies 1)???<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 233.</ref>
Define the distance from a critical point <math display="inline">\kappa(x) = \min\{ |x - z_i| : z_1, \cdots, z_m \}</math>. For <math display="inline">s > 0 </math> we define a new vector field
<math display="block">v_s(x) = \begin{cases}
v(x) & \kappa(x) \geq s \\
\rho(\kappa(x)) v(x) & \kappa(x) \in [s/2, s] \\
0 & \kappa(x) \leq s/2
\end{cases}</math>
for a smooth non-decreasing function <math display="inline">\rho</math> where <math display="inline">\rho(s/2) = 0</math>.
Define <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> as the function such that <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t)_s = v_s(x)</math>. The height function <math display="inline">h</math> is non-increasing along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> (by implication of bullet point 2?) so points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> stay in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c - \epsilon}</math> when flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> and therefore <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> is a homotopy equivalence between <math display="inline">(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math> and <math display="inline">(\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon), M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math>. By <math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> we mean the space <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> for a short period of time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
[Prove it has the same critical points and is proper?]
<math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> takes points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> except for those that come within <math display="inline">s</math> of a critical point within time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
Therefore, we see how we <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> can homotopically deform a chain in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> and small neighbourhoods of critical points.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 234-235.</ref>
On the assumption of this theorem, we can start with any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> and deform this chain to <math display="inline">M_{c_1+}</math> using part 1. Then we deform this chain to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> and small balls around the critical points. The (sub?)chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> is then deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2+}</math>, which is deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2-} \cup z_{c_2}</math>, and so on. Eventually, we get to <math display="inline">M_{c_j-}</math> which is homotopic to any space "below" it.

== Introduction ==
Morse theory tells us that the topology of M only changes at its critical points.
The "Morse data" tells us the topology at each critical point.
Attaching this Morse data together gives us a space which is homopotically eqivalent to M.
This space is a "cell complex", which has an easy to calculate homology.
Theorem: Our domain of convergence is homotopic to a cell complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>This is theorem D.23 in Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546. Also theorem in section 1.2*/5.2* in SMT pp. 200.</ref>
Proof:
# <math display="inline">X</math> is our entire domain, <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> our variety
# Project our entire domain to complex projective space <math display="inline">Z = \pi(X) \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n - H</math> [define H]
# Define a linear subspace <math display="inline">G \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d - 1</math>
# Define a Morse function on <math display="inline">f: \C\mathbb{P}^n \to \R</math> which approximates the distance from <math display="inline">G</math> and such that <math display="inline">f^{-1}(0) = G</math> and <math display="inline">f^{-1}(1) = H</math>
# We "build" <math display="inline">X - \mathcal{V}</math> from <math display="inline">\pi^{-1}(G \cap Z) \cap (X - \mathcal{V})</math> by attaching CW complexes at critical points which are of at most dimension <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# At a critical point, the normal Morse data is <math display="inline">(J, K) = \coprod_x (J_x, K_x)</math> and the relative complex link is <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}^\pi = \coprod_x \mathcal{L}_x</math>
# We show that the quotient <math display="inline">J_x/K_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension <math display="inline">\leq 2n - d - 1</math>
# The neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> in <math display="inline">J_x</math> is homeomorphic to the cone in <math display="inline">L_x(X - \mathcal{V})</math>, and removing the point <math display="inline">x</math> increases the homotopy dimension to at most the homotopy dimension of <math display="inline">L_x</math>
# <math display="inline">(J_x \cup \{x\}, K_x)</math> is homotopic to <math display="inline">(\text{cone}(\mathcal{L}_x), \mathcal{L}_x)</math>
# <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# The tangential Morse data at the critical point is homotopic to the pair <math display="inline">(D^\lambda, \partial D^\lambda)</math>
# Therefore, at each critical point a space has been added homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.
Theorem: If <math display="inline">X</math> is the complement in <math display="inline">\C^n</math> of a complex variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d</math> then <math display="inline">X</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546.</ref>
Proof:
# We build <math display="inline">X</math> by attaching cells of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math> at each critical point.
## Prove that we can do this without changing the homotopy(?)
## We use Thom's Isotopy Lemma to prove that there is a strong deformation retraction, stopping only at critical points.
# Prove these cells are a product of the normal and tangential Morse data.
## Normal data: <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}(S), \partial \mathcal{L}(S)) \times (D^1, \partial D^1)</math> [GM pp. 18]
## Tangential data: <math display="inline">(B_\delta \cap f^{-1}[v - \epsilon, v + \epsilon], B_\delta \cap f^{-1}(v - \epsilon))</math> for <math display="inline">f</math> restricted to <math display="inline">X</math> (or <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>?) [GM pp. 63-64]
# If <math display="inline">k</math> is the dimension of the strata, then
## If <math display="inline">k = d</math> then it is a smooth point and the cell is the product of <math display="inline">S^{2(n-d)-1}</math> and the tangential data is dimension at most <math display="inline">d</math>.
## If <math display="inline">k < d</math>, ...

Theorem: Suppose <math display="inline">Z</math> is a closed subset of a smooth manifold <math display="inline">M</math> which admits a Whitney stratification and <math display="inline">h : M \to \R</math> is a proper Morse function which has no critical values on <math display="inline">Z</math>. Then, the level sets of <math display="inline">Z</math> are homeomorphic by a homeomorphism that preserves the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>For various versions of the full statement of the theorem, see Mather 2012, pp. 499, Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 41, or Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 541.</ref>
Proof:
# Construct control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.
## [Prop 7.1] If <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an abstract stratified set and <math display="inline">f</math> a controlled submersion.
# A controlled submersion has, for any smooth vector field on <math display="inline">\R</math>, a controlled vector field on <math display="inline">Z</math> (a "lift"?)<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
# A controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">h</math> a locally trivial fibration. [Prop 10.2]<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 499.</ref>
Control data:
A system of '''control data''' for <math display="inline">Z</math> consists of, for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>,
* a '''tubular neighbourhood''' <math display="inline">T_X</math> of <math display="inline">X</math>
* a '''tubular projection function''' <math display="inline">\pi_X: T_X \to X</math>, and
* a '''tubular distance function''' <math display="inline">\rho_X: T_X \to \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\rho_X^{-1}(0) = X</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 42.</ref>
[illustration]
such that if <math display="inline">X < Y</math> are strata in <math display="inline">Z</math>, then
<math display="block">\pi_X \pi_Y(m) = \pi_X(m),</math>
<math display="block">\rho_X \pi_Y(m) = \rho_X(m)</math>
for all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X| \cap |T_Y|</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi_Y(m) \in |T_X|</math>.
If, for all strata <math display="inline">X</math> and all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X|</math>, we have <math display="inline">h \pi_X(m) = h(m)</math>, then this control data will be said to be compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488, prop 7.1.</ref>
Let <math display="inline">Z_k</math> be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. We prove by induction on <math display="inline">k</math>.
To construct the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_X</math> of a stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. For <math display="inline">l \leq k</math>, let <math display="inline">U_l</math> denote the union of all <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> for <math display="inline">Y < X</math> and <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l</math>. Let <math display="inline">X_l = U_l \cap X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
For <math display="inline">l = k</math>, <math display="inline">X_k = \empty</math>. Assume by induction that <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> has been constructed and that if <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l + 1</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{l+1} = \pi_{T_{l+1}}</math>) then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489-490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We wish to construct a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> of <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X</math> whose restriction to <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X_{l+1}</math> is isomorphic to the restriction of <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> such that if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{X,Y}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y} = \pi_{T_{X,Y}}</math>) then
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
By shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> if necessary, this relation is already satisfied if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> with <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}</math>. By the definition, if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}|</math> then there exists <math display="inline">Z < X</math> with <math display="inline">\dim Z > l</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Z|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Z|</math>. We have that <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y| \cap |T_Z|</math> and therefore <math display="inline">Y < Z</math>. Therefore<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We can prove that, by shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math>, <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X \to \R \times Y</math> is a submersion [prop 7.3?] and that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y) \pi_{X,Y}(m) = (\rho_Y, \pi_Y)(m)</math>(?).
To prove it is a submersion, for the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T = (E, \epsilon, \psi)</math> there exists a smooth positive function <math display="inline">\epsilon'</math> such that
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): Y \cap |T|_{\epsilon'}^0 \to \R \times X,</math>
where <math display="inline">|T|_{\epsilon'}^0 = \psi(B_\epsilon \cap B_{\epsilon'})</math>, is a submersion. If <math display="inline">\Sigma</math> is the set <math display="inline">y \in |T|</math> such that the rank of
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): T \cap |T| \to \R \times X</math>
at <math display="inline">y</math> is less than <math display="inline">\dim(\R \times X)</math>. We need to prove that for any <math display="inline">x \in X</math> there exists a neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> which does not intersect with <math display="inline">\Sigma</math>, i.e. the map is not a submersion in this neighbourhood. It follows from [lemma 7.2] that it is enough to prove for <math display="inline">M = \R^m</math>, <math display="inline">X = \R^{m-c} \times 0_c</math> and <math display="inline">T</math> is the '''standard tubular neighbourhood'''.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
By standard tubular neighbourhood, we mean the trivial bundle with base <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math> and fibre <math display="inline">\R^c</math> where <math display="inline">\pi: \R^m \to \R^{m-c}</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
For <math display="inline">y \in |T| - \R^{m-c}</math>, the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> at <math display="inline">y</math> is the orthogonal complement of <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> in <math display="inline">\R^m</math>. By the Whitney conditions, we have that for <math display="inline">y</math> near <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> is close to the set of <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> planes in <math display="inline">m-</math>space to an <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> plane in <math display="inline">TY_y</math>. Therefore, for <math display="inline">y</math> near enough to <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">TY_y</math> is transverse to the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> and, therefore, is a submersion when restricted to <math display="inline">Y</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
To prove that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
Therefore, there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_0</math> of <math display="inline">X_0</math> satisfying
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_0(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_0(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
From this we can prove that <math display="inline">T_0</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. Replacing <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a smaller tubular neighbourhood if necessary we can assume <math display="inline">m \in |T_0|</math> such that for some <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_0(m) \in |T_Y|</math>, then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">h \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y(m) = h(m).</math>
By the generalised tubular neighourhood theorem [prop 7.2?], we can replace <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T</math> of <math display="inline">X</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. This completes the construction of <math display="inline">T_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491.</ref>
This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an '''abstract stratified set''' with axioms...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491-492.</ref>
This also makes <math display="inline">h</math> a '''controlled submersion''' because
# <math display="inline">h|X: X \to \R</math> is a smooth submersion on each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, and
# for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> there is a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_X</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_X(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in T'_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
[picture]
We define a '''stratified vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a family of smooth vector fields <math display="inline">\eta_X</math>, one for each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
We define a '''controlled vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a stratified vector field such that for any strata <math display="inline">Y</math> there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_Y</math> such that for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and any <math display="inline">v \in T'_X \cap X</math><ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
<math display="block">\eta_X \rho_{Y,X}(v) = 0,</math>
<math display="block">(\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) = \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)).</math>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is a controlled submersion then, for any smooth vector field <math display="inline">\zeta</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math> there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> such that <math display="inline">h_* \eta(v) = \zeta(h(v))</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
Proceeding by induction on the maximum dimension of the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>, we define <math display="inline">Z_k</math> to be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>. The tubular neighbourhood of <math display="inline">Z_k</math> is the intersection of the tubular neighbourhoods of each strata in <math display="inline">Z_k</math> with <math display="inline">Z</math>. The projection and distance functions are the restrictions of the respective functions of <math display="inline">Z</math>.
It is trivially true when the maximum dimension of strata in <math display="inline">Z</math> is zero. Assume it is true for <math display="inline">k</math> and construct each <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> separately for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension <math display="inline">k + 1</math>.
By the assumption that we have controlled vector fields for all strata <math display="inline">Y</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>, we have the two control conditions defined above for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and that there is a neighbourhood <math display="inline">T^1_Y</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_Y(v)</math> for <math display="inline">v \in T^1_Y</math>.
We want to prove that for all <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, the control conditions are satisfied for all <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math> and that <math display="inline">h_*\eta_X(v) = \zeta(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in X</math>.
Take a point <math display="inline">x \in X</math> and define the set <math display="inline">S_v</math> of strata <math display="inline">Y < X</math> such that <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math>. <math display="inline">S_v</math> is totally ordered since if <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_2</math> are not comparable then <math display="inline">T^2_{Y_1} \cap T^2_{Y_2} = \empty</math>. Therefore, there is a largest member <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>.
Assume the control conditions hold for <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>. Then they hold for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. For, either <math display="inline">Y_i = Y</math> or <math display="inline">Y_i < Y</math>. In the latter case, <math display="inline">\pi_Y(v) \in T^1_{Y_i}</math> (by the choice of <math display="inline">T^2_Y</math>'s [is this why?]. Then
<math display="block">\begin{align}
\eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,X}(v) &= \eta_X \rho_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= \eta_Y(\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= 0
\end{align}</math>
and
<math display="block">\begin{align}
(\pi_{Y_i,X})_* \eta_X(v) &= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* \eta_Y(v) (\pi_{Y,X}) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,X}(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, condition holds for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. Also,
<math display="block">\begin{align}
h_* \eta_X(v) &= (h \circ \pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= h_* \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \zeta(f(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, the conclusion of the theorem holds at <math display="inline">v</math>.
This shows we can construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> satisfying the control conditions when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is non-empty and satisfying the theorem when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is empty. The set of vectors satisfying these conditions is convex in <math display="inline">TX_v</math>, and so we construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> globally via a partition of unity.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493-495.</ref>
Finally, we prove that a controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, this combines Proposition 10.1 and Corollary 10.2 on pp. 496 and 497, respectively.</ref>
For each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> generates a unique smooth local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> of diffeomorphisms of <math display="inline">X</math> (by standard results of differential geometry), such that <math display="inline">\frac{d}{dt} \alpha(t, v)|_{t=0} = \eta_X(v)</math>, <math display="inline">J_X</math> is an open subset of <math display="inline">\R \times Z</math>, ...
If we define <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> by
<math display="block">J = \bigcup_{X \in S} J_X</math>
<math display="block">\alpha = \bigcup_{X \in S} \alpha_X</math>
we can prove that this is a local one-parameter family of homeomorphisms.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
Firstly, it is clear that
# <math display="inline">0 \times Z \subseteq J</math> and <math display="inline">\alpha(0, v) = v</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> then <math display="inline">J_v = J \cap (\R \times v) \subseteq \R</math> is an open interval <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math>, possibly infinite at one or both ends.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and <math display="inline">t, s, t + s</math> are in <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> then <math display="inline">\alpha(t + s, v) = \alpha(t, \alpha(s, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
Secondly, it is clear that <math display="inline">\eta</math> generates <math display="inline">\alpha</math> because
# Each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math> is invariant under <math display="inline">\alpha</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">\alpha[J \cap (\R \times X)] \subseteq X</math>.
# For each <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>, the map <math display="inline">t \to \alpha(t, v)</math> of <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> into the stratum which contains <math display="inline">v</math> is <math display="inline">C^1</math>.
# For any <math display="inline">(t, v) \in Z</math>(?) we have <math display="inline">d/dt \alpha(t, v) = \eta(\alpha(t, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
It is unique because each <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> is unique. We just need to prove that <math display="inline">J</math> is open, <math display="inline">\alpha</math> is continuous, and for any <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and any compact set <math display="inline">K \subseteq Z</math> there exists <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> such that <math display="inline">\alpha(t, v) \notin K</math> if <math display="inline">t \in (a_v, a_v + \epsilon) \cup (b_v - \epsilon, b_v)</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
For the latter-most condition, if it did not hold then there exists...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496-497.</ref>
We prove there is a homeomorphism <math display="inline">f: Z \to h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>, where <math display="inline">\pi: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to \R</math> is projection to the second factor.
For the coordinate vector field <math display="inline">\partial</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math>, by [prop 9.1] there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> such that <math display="inline">f_* \tilde\partial(v) = \partial(h(v))</math> for <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>. By [prop 10.1], <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> generates a local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> such that
<math display="block">h(\alpha(t,v)) = h(v) + t</math>
<math display="inline">h</math> is proper and [d] holds, so <math display="inline">J = \R \times Z</math>. If we define <math display="inline">f</math> as
<math display="block">f(v) = (\alpha(-t, v), h(v))</math>
then <math display="inline">f</math> maps <math display="inline">Z</math> into <math display="inline">h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> and <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>. If we define <math display="inline">\bar f: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to Z</math> as
<math display="block">\bar f(v, t) = \alpha(t, v)</math>
then <math display="inline">f \bar f = \bar f f = Id</math> and <math display="inline">f</math> is a homeomorphism.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 497.</ref>
== Topology at critical points ==
Theorem: If there is a critical point <math display="inline">p</math> in the singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> with critical value <math display="inline">v \in (a, b)</math> then the space <math display="inline">X_{\leq b}</math> is homotopic to<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
<math display="block">X_{\leq a} \cup [(D^{\lambda+1}, \partial D^{\lambda+1}) \times (\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)].</math>
Proof:<ref>Proof outline comes from Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
# <math display="inline">(X_{\leq b}, X_{\leq a})</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">(X_{\leq v + \epsilon}, X_{\leq v -\epsilon})</math>. We can prove this by "moving wall" or Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 90-91, 120.</ref>
# <math display="inline">X_{\leq v + \epsilon}</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">X_{\leq v - \epsilon} \cup (J, K)</math>, where the latter is the local Morse data for <math display="inline">h</math> at <math display="inline">p</math>. We do this by moving the wall...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96, 120-121.</ref>
# <math display="inline">(J, K)</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">(D^{\lambda+1}, \partial D^{\lambda+1}) \times (\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)</math> (tangential data, normal data). Again, moving the wall...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 65-66, chapter 8, 121.</ref>
# The normal Morse data depends only on the differential <math display="inline">df(p)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 93.</ref>
# The normal Morse data has the homotopy type of <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 169.</ref>
=== Step 1 ===
We get this immediately(?) by Thom's Isotopy Lemma.
=== Step 2 ===
<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, complex case on pp. 120-121 is extension of real case on pp. 95-96.</ref>
We take our space <math display="inline">M</math> and map it onto <math display="inline">\R^2</math> with the map <math display="inline">F(z) = (r(z), h(z))</math>, where <math display="inline">z \in M</math> and <math display="inline">r</math> is the square of the distance of <math display="inline">z</math> to the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
[graph of mapping]
What we want is a homeomorphism in <math display="inline">M</math> between the space <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon}</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B</math>, where <math display="inline">B</math> is a small region of the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>. The '''local Morse data''' is
<math display="block">((B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}[v-\epsilon, v+\epsilon], (B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}(v-\epsilon))</math>
where <math display="inline">B_\delta</math> is a closed disc in <math display="inline">M</math> of radius <math display="inline">\delta</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 63-64.</ref> Observe that this is the pair <math display="inline">(F^{-1}(\text{Box}(\delta, \epsilon)), F^{-1}(\text{Bottom}(\delta, \epsilon)))</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 91.</ref> [explain Box, Bottom, etc.]
[picture of the two subspaces of Z in M]
We use our map <math display="inline">F</math> to convert these two subspaces to subspaces of <math display="inline">\R^2</math> which are of the form <math display="inline">Y_1 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq \epsilon\}</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq -\epsilon\} \cup \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | x \leq \delta, y \leq \epsilon\}</math>, such that <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} = F^{-1}(Y_1)</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B = F^{-1}(Y_0)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96.</ref>
We use a homeomorphism between <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0</math> using the technique of "moving the wall" and Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 4, particularly pp. 71-72.</ref>
For the composition
<math display="block">Z \times \R \subset M \times \R \to_{F \times I} Y \subset \R^2 \times \R \to_{\pi} \R</math>
where <math display="inline">Y(t, z) = Y_t(z)</math>, <math display="inline">I</math> is the identity and <math display="inline">\pi</math> is projection to the second factor.
<math display="inline">Z \times \R</math> is transverse to <math display="inline">(F \times I)^{-1}(Y)</math>...
The composition <math display="inline">\pi \circ (F \times I): Z \times \R \cap (F \times I)^{-1}(Y) \to \R</math> is a stratified submersion...
Therefore, we can apply Thom's Isotopy Lemma which says there is a homeomorphism between the level sets of <math display="inline">Z \times \R</math>...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 72.</ref>
=== Step 3 ===
We prove there is a stratum preserving homeomorphism between<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 65.</ref>
<math display="block">\text{Local Morse Data} \cong (\text{Tangential Morse Data}) \times (\text{Normal Morse Data})</math>
<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 8.</ref>

Steps(?)
* Explain topology
* Every point of a stratum is locally like a product structure (proved by Thom's Isotopy Lemma) [GM pp. 41-42]
** Including those around critical points, which are the product of normal and tangential Morse data (these are our quasi-local cycles?)
* Thom's Isotopy Lemma proves a strong deformation retraction (which only stops at critical points) [PWM pp. 541-542]
=== Homotopy ===
We want to replace our domain of convergence <math display="inline">M</math>, which is the complement of our singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>, with an "equivalent" space <math display="inline">M'</math> which has better understood properties. We say "equivalent" because there are several different things we could mean by "equivalent" in this context. The equivalence we are referring to in this section is called '''homotopy'''.
Imagine two subspaces <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> of a space <math display="inline">Y</math> which are defined respectively by smooth functions <math display="inline">f, g: X \to Y</math>. If there exists a smooth function <math display="inline">h_s: X \times [0, 1] \to Y</math>, called a homotopy, such that <math display="inline">h_0 = f</math>, <math display="inline">h_1 = g</math> and for any <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> there exists a <math display="inline">\delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">\delta_b</math> such that when <math display="inline">|s - s_0| < \delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">|x - x_0| < \delta_b</math> we have <math display="inline">|h_s(x) - h_{s_0}(x_0)| < \epsilon</math>, then we say <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are '''homotopic'''.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 251-252.</ref>
Below is an example where <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are one-dimensional curves and <math display="inline">H(t, s) = h_s(t)</math>.
[[File:Homotopy_curves.png|300px]]
In [[#Homotopy_equivalence|Appendix A]], we formally prove that we can construct an equivalent space <math display="inline">M'</math>. We provide only an example to give some intuition before describing how to construct the space <math display="inline">M'</math> in terms of local cycles around critical points.
=== Motivating example ===
Imagine a torus and a height function which is just the z value of the point.
[[File:3D-Leveltorus.png|200px]]
It has four critical points: two at the top and bottom of the outer circle (<math display="inline">p_1, p_4</math>) and two at the top and bottom of the inner circle (<math display="inline">p_2, p_3</math>).
[picture]
When the height is between the <math display="inline">p_1</math> and <math display="inline">p_2</math>, the space is a two-cell, which can be retracted to a point.
[picture]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_2</math> and <math display="inline">p_3</math>, the space is a cylinder, which can be retracted to a two-cell with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_and_disk_with_handle.png|200px]]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_3</math> and <math display="inline">p_4</math>, the space is a torus with a disc removed, which can be retracted to a cylinder with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_with_handle_and_torus_with_hole.png|200px]]
When the height is greater than <math display="inline">p_4</math>, then the full torus is constructed by attaching a two-cell.
[Explain in terms of Morse data and Morse index?]
=== Morse data and quasi-local cycles ===
As in the above example, we start at the "bottom" of <math display="inline">M</math> and build upwards until just before we reach our first critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
;Smooth points
:This is a tube around a <math display="inline">(d-1)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> where the height function <math display="inline">h</math> is maximised at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 223.</ref>
:For example, if <math display="inline">F(x, y) = \frac{1}{1 - x - y}</math> then <math display="inline">\lambda = 1</math> and <math display="inline">B^\lambda</math> is an arc reaching its highest point at <math display="inline">p</math>.
:The normal plane <math display="inline">N</math> at <math display="inline">p</math> is a plane orthogonal to <math display="inline">B^1</math>(?).
:Its normal link <math display="inline">L(S)</math> is a circle with two points missing where it intersects <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>.
:We make our quasi-local cycle out of the product of the arc and circle joined to <math display="inline">M_-</math> at points below <math display="inline">M_-</math>.
:With the exception of degenerate points, such as monkey saddles...<ref>e.g. Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 211.</ref>
;Transverse multiple points
:This is the product of a <math display="inline">k</math>-torus and a <math display="inline">(d-k)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math>. The torus is the product of circles about <math display="inline">p</math> in the complex normal space to each strata which intersects <math display="inline">p</math>. The chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> is supported in the stratum which is the common intersection of the varieties defined by the factors vanishing at <math display="inline">p</math>, and achieves its maximum height at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 223-224.</ref>
;Arrangement multiple point
:This is the product of a <math display="inline">(d-k)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> and several <math display="inline">k</math>-tori, one for each pair of sheets which intersect transversely, where the torus is the product of circles about <math display="inline">p</math> in each sheet.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 226.</ref>
;Cone point
:A cone point is zero-dimensional so there is no <math display="inline">\gamma</math>, just a <math display="inline">d</math>-torus about <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 227.</ref>
== Appendix ==
=== Homotopy equivalence ===
[Assuming no CVAI...]
Theorem:
# Homotopy equivalence between M_{\leq a} and M_{\leq b}...
# If in a range <math display="inline">[a, b]</math> there are no CVAI and only one critical value <math display="inline">c</math>, not equal to either <math display="inline">a</math> or <math display="inline">b</math>, with one or more critical points <math display="inline">z_1, \cdots, z_m</math> then there is a stratified flow deforming any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a (homotopic?) chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{<c}</math> with sufficiently small balls around each critical point. This induces a homotopy between <math display="inline">(M_{c+\epsilon}, M_{c-\epsilon})</math> and the direct sum of <math display="inline">(M_{c-\epsilon} \cup B_{2\epsilon}(z_i), M_{c-\epsilon})</math> for each critical point <math display="inline">z_i</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 231.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
We can (potentially) define a function to implement this flow. Define <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> where <math display="inline">x</math> are points in the space and <math display="inline">t</math> is something like time. As <math display="inline">t</math> goes from zero to some positive number, <math display="inline">\Phi</math> moves the points <math display="inline">x</math> along the vectors. To describe this process formally, we say <math display="inline">\Phi</math> is the solution to the differential equation
<math display="block">\frac{d}{dt} \Phi(x, t) = v(x).</math>
We want a particular vector field <math display="inline">v</math> with certain properties... The proof of the existence of this vector field is long and complicated and we will not go into it here.<ref>It involves concepts such as Thom's isotopy lemma and Mather's controlled vector flows. See Mather 2012.</ref>
Using this vector field <math display="inline">v</math> but modified so as to be zero on <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>. This vector field defines a function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> such that
* <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t) = v(x)</math> when <math display="inline">h(x) \in (a, b]</math>.
* <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> is defined for <math display="inline">0 \leq t \leq h(x) - a</math> and in this range <math display="inline">h(\Phi(x, t)) = h(x) - t</math>.
* the map <math display="inline">\psi(x) = \Phi(x, b - a)</math> is a continuous map on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> with range (image?) <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math> and fixing <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>.
The function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, 0)</math> is the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\Phi(x, b - a) = \psi(x)</math>, therefore <math display="inline">\Phi</math> in the range <math display="inline">[0, b - a]</math> is a homotopy between the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\psi</math>. This implies 1)???<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 233.</ref>
Define the distance from a critical point <math display="inline">\kappa(x) = \min\{ |x - z_i| : z_1, \cdots, z_m \}</math>. For <math display="inline">s > 0 </math> we define a new vector field
<math display="block">v_s(x) = \begin{cases}
v(x) & \kappa(x) \geq s \\
\rho(\kappa(x)) v(x) & \kappa(x) \in [s/2, s] \\
0 & \kappa(x) \leq s/2
\end{cases}</math>
for a smooth non-decreasing function <math display="inline">\rho</math> where <math display="inline">\rho(s/2) = 0</math>.
Define <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> as the function such that <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t)_s = v_s(x)</math>. The height function <math display="inline">h</math> is non-increasing along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> (by implication of bullet point 2?) so points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> stay in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c - \epsilon}</math> when flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> and therefore <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> is a homotopy equivalence between <math display="inline">(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math> and <math display="inline">(\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon), M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math>. By <math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> we mean the space <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> for a short period of time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
[Prove it has the same critical points and is proper?]
<math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> takes points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> except for those that come within <math display="inline">s</math> of a critical point within time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
Therefore, we see how we <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> can homotopically deform a chain in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> and small neighbourhoods of critical points.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 234-235.</ref>
On the assumption of this theorem, we can start with any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> and deform this chain to <math display="inline">M_{c_1+}</math> using part 1. Then we deform this chain to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> and small balls around the critical points. The (sub?)chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> is then deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2+}</math>, which is deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2-} \cup z_{c_2}</math>, and so on. Eventually, we get to <math display="inline">M_{c_j-}</math> which is homotopic to any space "below" it. Therefore, we have deformed our chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a homotopic chain in the union of small balls around critical points.<ref>Baryshnikov, Melczer and Pemantle 2022, pp. ???.</ref><ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 217???</ref>

== Introduction ==
Morse theory tells us that the topology of M only changes at its critical points.
The "Morse data" tells us the topology at each critical point.
Attaching this Morse data together gives us a space which is homopotically eqivalent to M.
This space is a "cell complex", which has an easy to calculate homology.
Theorem: Our domain of convergence is homotopic to a cell complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>This is theorem D.23 in Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546. Also theorem in section 1.2*/5.2* in SMT pp. 200.</ref>
Proof:

Theorem: Suppose <math display="inline">Z</math> is a closed subset of a smooth manifold <math display="inline">M</math> which admits a Whitney stratification and <math display="inline">h : M \to \R</math> is a proper Morse function which has no critical values on <math display="inline">Z</math>. Then, the level sets of <math display="inline">Z</math> are homeomorphic by a homeomorphism that preserves the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>For various versions of the full statement of the theorem, see Mather 2012, pp. 499, Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 41, or Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 541.</ref>
Proof:
# Construct control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.
## [Prop 7.1] If <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an abstract stratified set and <math display="inline">f</math> a controlled submersion.

Control data:
A system of '''control data''' for <math display="inline">Z</math> consists of, for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>,
* a '''tubular neighbourhood''' <math display="inline">T_X</math> of <math display="inline">X</math>
* a '''tubular projection function''' <math display="inline">\pi_X: T_X \to X</math>, and
* a '''tubular distance function''' <math display="inline">\rho_X: T_X \to \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\rho_X^{-1}(0) = X</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 42.</ref>
[illustration]
such that if <math display="inline">X < Y</math> are strata in <math display="inline">Z</math>, then
<math display="block">\pi_X \pi_Y(m) = \pi_X(m),</math>
<math display="block">\rho_X \pi_Y(m) = \rho_X(m)</math>
for all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X| \cap |T_Y|</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi_Y(m) \in |T_X|</math>.
If, for all strata <math display="inline">X</math> and all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X|</math>, we have <math display="inline">h \pi_X(m) = h(m)</math>, then this control data will be said to be compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488, prop 7.1.</ref>
Let <math display="inline">Z_k</math> be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. We prove by induction on <math display="inline">k</math>.
To construct the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_X</math> of a stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. For <math display="inline">l \leq k</math>, let <math display="inline">U_l</math> denote the union of all <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> for <math display="inline">Y < X</math> and <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l</math>. Let <math display="inline">X_l = U_l \cap X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
For <math display="inline">l = k</math>, <math display="inline">X_k = \empty</math>. Assume by induction that <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> has been constructed and that if <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l + 1</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{l+1} = \pi_{T_{l+1}}</math>) then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489-490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We wish to construct a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> of <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X</math> whose restriction to <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X_{l+1}</math> is isomorphic to the restriction of <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> such that if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{X,Y}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y} = \pi_{T_{X,Y}}</math>) then
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
By shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> if necessary, this relation is already satisfied if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> with <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}</math>. By the definition, if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}|</math> then there exists <math display="inline">Z < X</math> with <math display="inline">\dim Z > l</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Z|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Z|</math>. We have that <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y| \cap |T_Z|</math> and therefore <math display="inline">Y < Z</math>. Therefore<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We can prove that, by shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math>, <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X \to \R \times Y</math> is a submersion [prop 7.3?] and that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y) \pi_{X,Y}(m) = (\rho_Y, \pi_Y)(m)</math>(?).
To prove it is a submersion, for the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T = (E, \epsilon, \psi)</math> there exists a smooth positive function <math display="inline">\epsilon'</math> such that
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): Y \cap |T|_{\epsilon'}^0 \to \R \times X,</math>
where <math display="inline">|T|_{\epsilon'}^0 = \psi(B_\epsilon \cap B_{\epsilon'})</math>, is a submersion. If <math display="inline">\Sigma</math> is the set <math display="inline">y \in |T|</math> such that the rank of
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): T \cap |T| \to \R \times X</math>
at <math display="inline">y</math> is less than <math display="inline">\dim(\R \times X)</math>. We need to prove that for any <math display="inline">x \in X</math> there exists a neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> which does not intersect with <math display="inline">\Sigma</math>, i.e. the map is not a submersion in this neighbourhood. It follows from [lemma 7.2] that it is enough to prove for <math display="inline">M = \R^m</math>, <math display="inline">X = \R^{m-c} \times 0_c</math> and <math display="inline">T</math> is the '''standard tubular neighbourhood'''.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
By standard tubular neighbourhood, we mean the trivial bundle with base <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math> and fibre <math display="inline">\R^c</math> where <math display="inline">\pi: \R^m \to \R^{m-c}</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
For <math display="inline">y \in |T| - \R^{m-c}</math>, the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> at <math display="inline">y</math> is the orthogonal complement of <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> in <math display="inline">\R^m</math>. By the Whitney conditions, we have that for <math display="inline">y</math> near <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> is close to the set of <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> planes in <math display="inline">m-</math>space to an <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> plane in <math display="inline">TY_y</math>. Therefore, for <math display="inline">y</math> near enough to <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">TY_y</math> is transverse to the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> and, therefore, is a submersion when restricted to <math display="inline">Y</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
To prove that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
Therefore, there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_0</math> of <math display="inline">X_0</math> satisfying
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_0(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_0(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
From this we can prove that <math display="inline">T_0</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. Replacing <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a smaller tubular neighbourhood if necessary we can assume <math display="inline">m \in |T_0|</math> such that for some <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_0(m) \in |T_Y|</math>, then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">h \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y(m) = h(m).</math>
By the generalised tubular neighourhood theorem [prop 7.2?], we can replace <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T</math> of <math display="inline">X</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. This completes the construction of <math display="inline">T_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491.</ref>
This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an '''abstract stratified set''' with axioms...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491-492.</ref>
This also makes <math display="inline">h</math> a '''controlled submersion''' because
# <math display="inline">h|X: X \to \R</math> is a smooth submersion on each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, and
# for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> there is a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_X</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_X(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in T'_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.

We define a '''stratified vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a family of smooth vector fields <math display="inline">\eta_X</math>, one for each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
We define a '''controlled vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a stratified vector field such that for any strata <math display="inline">Y</math> there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_Y</math> such that for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and any <math display="inline">v \in T'_X \cap X</math><ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
<math display="block">\eta_X \rho_{Y,X}(v) = 0,</math>
<math display="block">(\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) = \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)).</math>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is a controlled submersion then, for any smooth vector field <math display="inline">\zeta</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math> there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> such that <math display="inline">h_* \eta(v) = \zeta(h(v))</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
Proceeding by induction on the maximum dimension of the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>, we define <math display="inline">Z_k</math> to be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>. The tubular neighbourhood of <math display="inline">Z_k</math> is the intersection of the tubular neighbourhoods of each strata in <math display="inline">Z_k</math> with <math display="inline">Z</math>. The projection and distance functions are the restrictions of the respective functions of <math display="inline">Z</math>.
It is trivially true when the maximum dimension of strata in <math display="inline">Z</math> is zero. Assume it is true for <math display="inline">k</math> and construct each <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> separately for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension <math display="inline">k + 1</math>.
By the assumption that we have controlled vector fields for all strata <math display="inline">Y</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>, we have the two control conditions defined above for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and that there is a neighbourhood <math display="inline">T^1_Y</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_Y(v)</math> for <math display="inline">v \in T^1_Y</math>.
We want to prove that for all <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, the control conditions are satisfied for all <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math> and that <math display="inline">h_*\eta_X(v) = \zeta(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in X</math>.
Take a point <math display="inline">x \in X</math> and define the set <math display="inline">S_v</math> of strata <math display="inline">Y < X</math> such that <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math>. <math display="inline">S_v</math> is totally ordered since if <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_2</math> are not comparable then <math display="inline">T^2_{Y_1} \cap T^2_{Y_2} = \empty</math>. Therefore, there is a largest member <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>.
Assume the control conditions hold for <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>. Then they hold for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. For, either <math display="inline">Y_i = Y</math> or <math display="inline">Y_i < Y</math>. In the latter case, <math display="inline">\pi_Y(v) \in T^1_{Y_i}</math> (by the choice of <math display="inline">T^2_Y</math>'s [is this why?]. Then
<math display="block">\begin{align}
\eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,X}(v) &= \eta_X \rho_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= \eta_Y(\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= 0
\end{align}</math>
and
<math display="block">\begin{align}
(\pi_{Y_i,X})_* \eta_X(v) &= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* \eta_Y(v) (\pi_{Y,X}) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,X}(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, condition holds for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. Also,
<math display="block">\begin{align}
h_* \eta_X(v) &= (h \circ \pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= h_* \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \zeta(f(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, the conclusion of the theorem holds at <math display="inline">v</math>.
This shows we can construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> satisfying the control conditions when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is non-empty and satisfying the theorem when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is empty. The set of vectors satisfying these conditions is convex in <math display="inline">TX_v</math>, and so we construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> globally via a partition of unity.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493-495.</ref>
Finally, we prove that a controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, this combines Proposition 10.1 and Corollary 10.2 on pp. 496 and 497, respectively.</ref>
For each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> generates a unique smooth local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> of diffeomorphisms of <math display="inline">X</math> (by standard results of differential geometry), such that <math display="inline">\frac{d}{dt} \alpha(t, v)|_{t=0} = \eta_X(v)</math>, <math display="inline">J_X</math> is an open subset of <math display="inline">\R \times Z</math>, ...
If we define <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> by
<math display="block">J = \bigcup_{X \in S} J_X</math>
<math display="block">\alpha = \bigcup_{X \in S} \alpha_X</math>
we can prove that this is a local one-parameter family of homeomorphisms.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
Firstly, it is clear that
# <math display="inline">0 \times Z \subseteq J</math> and <math display="inline">\alpha(0, v) = v</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> then <math display="inline">J_v = J \cap (\R \times v) \subseteq \R</math> is an open interval <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math>, possibly infinite at one or both ends.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and <math display="inline">t, s, t + s</math> are in <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> then <math display="inline">\alpha(t + s, v) = \alpha(t, \alpha(s, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
Secondly, it is clear that <math display="inline">\eta</math> generates <math display="inline">\alpha</math> because
# Each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math> is invariant under <math display="inline">\alpha</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">\alpha[J \cap (\R \times X)] \subseteq X</math>.
# For each <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>, the map <math display="inline">t \to \alpha(t, v)</math> of <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> into the stratum which contains <math display="inline">v</math> is <math display="inline">C^1</math>.
# For any <math display="inline">(t, v) \in Z</math>(?) we have <math display="inline">d/dt \alpha(t, v) = \eta(\alpha(t, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
It is unique because each <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> is unique. We just need to prove that <math display="inline">J</math> is open, <math display="inline">\alpha</math> is continuous, and for any <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and any compact set <math display="inline">K \subseteq Z</math> there exists <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> such that <math display="inline">\alpha(t, v) \notin K</math> if <math display="inline">t \in (a_v, a_v + \epsilon) \cup (b_v - \epsilon, b_v)</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>

We prove there is a homeomorphism <math display="inline">f: Z \to h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>, where <math display="inline">\pi: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to \R</math> is projection to the second factor.
For the coordinate vector field <math display="inline">\partial</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math>, by [prop 9.1] there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> such that <math display="inline">f_* \tilde\partial(v) = \partial(h(v))</math> for <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>. By [prop 10.1], <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> generates a local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> such that
<math display="block">h(\alpha(t,v)) = h(v) + t</math>
<math display="inline">h</math> is proper and [d] holds, so <math display="inline">J = \R \times Z</math>. If we define <math display="inline">f</math> as
<math display="block">f(v) = (\alpha(-t, v), h(v))</math>
then <math display="inline">f</math> maps <math display="inline">Z</math> into <math display="inline">h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> and <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>. If we define <math display="inline">\bar f: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to Z</math> as
<math display="block">\bar f(v, t) = \alpha(t, v)</math>
then <math display="inline">f \bar f = \bar f f = Id</math> and <math display="inline">f</math> is a homeomorphism.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 497.</ref>
== Topology at critical points ==
Theorem: If there is a critical point <math display="inline">p</math> in the singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> with critical value <math display="inline">v \in (a, b)</math> then the space <math display="inline">X_{\leq b}</math> is homotopic to<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
<math display="block">X_{\leq a} \cup [(D^{\lambda+1}, \partial D^{\lambda+1}) \times (\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)].</math>
Proof:<ref>Proof outline comes from Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 174.</ref>
# <math display="inline">(X_{\leq b}, X_{\leq a})</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">(X_{\leq v + \epsilon}, X_{\leq v -\epsilon})</math>. We can prove this by "moving wall" or Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 90-91, 120.</ref>
# <math display="inline">X_{\leq v + \epsilon}</math> is homeomorphic to <math display="inline">X_{\leq v - \epsilon} \cup (J, K)</math>, where the latter is the local Morse data for <math display="inline">h</math> at <math display="inline">p</math>. We do this by moving the wall...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96, 120-121.</ref>

# The normal Morse data has the homotopy type of <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}_X, \partial \mathcal{L}_X)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 169.</ref>
=== Step 1 ===
We get this immediately(?) by Thom's Isotopy Lemma.
=== Step 2 ===
<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, complex case on pp. 120-121 is extension of real case on pp. 95-96.</ref>
We take our space <math display="inline">M</math> and map it onto <math display="inline">\R^2</math> with the map <math display="inline">F(z) = (r(z), h(z))</math>, where <math display="inline">z \in M</math> and <math display="inline">r</math> is the square of the distance of <math display="inline">z</math> to the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
[graph of mapping]
What we want is a homeomorphism in <math display="inline">M</math> between the space <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon}</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B</math>, where <math display="inline">B</math> is a small region of the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>. The '''local Morse data''' is
<math display="block">((B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}[v-\epsilon, v+\epsilon], (B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}(v-\epsilon))</math>
where <math display="inline">B_\delta</math> is a closed disc in <math display="inline">M</math> of radius <math display="inline">\delta</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 63-64.</ref> Observe that this is the pair <math display="inline">(F^{-1}(\text{Box}(\delta, \epsilon)), F^{-1}(\text{Bottom}(\delta, \epsilon)))</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 91.</ref> [explain Box, Bottom, etc.]
[picture of the two subspaces of Z in M]
We use our map <math display="inline">F</math> to convert these two subspaces to subspaces of <math display="inline">\R^2</math> which are of the form <math display="inline">Y_1 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq \epsilon\}</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq -\epsilon\} \cup \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | x \leq \delta, y \leq \epsilon\}</math>, such that <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} = F^{-1}(Y_1)</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B = F^{-1}(Y_0)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96.</ref>
We use a homeomorphism between <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0</math> using the technique of "moving the wall" and Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 4, particularly pp. 71-72.</ref>
For the composition
<math display="block">Z \times \R \subset M \times \R \to_{F \times I} Y \subset \R^2 \times \R \to_{\pi} \R</math>
where <math display="inline">Y(t, z) = Y_t(z)</math>, <math display="inline">I</math> is the identity and <math display="inline">\pi</math> is projection to the second factor.
<math display="inline">Z \times \R</math> is transverse to <math display="inline">(F \times I)^{-1}(Y)</math>...
The composition <math display="inline">\pi \circ (F \times I): Z \times \R \cap (F \times I)^{-1}(Y) \to \R</math> is a stratified submersion...
Therefore, we can apply Thom's Isotopy Lemma which says there is a homeomorphism between the level sets of <math display="inline">Z \times \R</math>...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 72.</ref>
=== Step 3 ===
We prove there is a stratum preserving homeomorphism between<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 65.</ref>
<math display="block">\text{Local Morse Data} \cong (\text{Tangential Morse Data}) \times (\text{Normal Morse Data})</math>
We first prove that there is a homeomorphism between the product of the normal and tangential Morse data and the realisation of the following diagram<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 100-102.</ref>

where the realisation means...

Steps(?)
* Explain topology
* Every point of a stratum is locally like a product structure (proved by Thom's Isotopy Lemma) [GM pp. 41-42]
** Including those around critical points, which are the product of normal and tangential Morse data (these are our quasi-local cycles?)
* Thom's Isotopy Lemma proves a strong deformation retraction (which only stops at critical points) [PWM pp. 541-542]
=== Homotopy ===
We want to replace our domain of convergence <math display="inline">M</math>, which is the complement of our singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>, with an "equivalent" space <math display="inline">M'</math> which has better understood properties. We say "equivalent" because there are several different things we could mean by "equivalent" in this context. The equivalence we are referring to in this section is called '''homotopy'''.
Imagine two subspaces <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> of a space <math display="inline">Y</math> which are defined respectively by smooth functions <math display="inline">f, g: X \to Y</math>. If there exists a smooth function <math display="inline">h_s: X \times [0, 1] \to Y</math>, called a homotopy, such that <math display="inline">h_0 = f</math>, <math display="inline">h_1 = g</math> and for any <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> there exists a <math display="inline">\delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">\delta_b</math> such that when <math display="inline">|s - s_0| < \delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">|x - x_0| < \delta_b</math> we have <math display="inline">|h_s(x) - h_{s_0}(x_0)| < \epsilon</math>, then we say <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are '''homotopic'''.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 251-252.</ref>
Below is an example where <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are one-dimensional curves and <math display="inline">H(t, s) = h_s(t)</math>.
[[File:Homotopy_curves.png|300px]]
In [[#Homotopy_equivalence|Appendix A]], we formally prove that we can construct an equivalent space <math display="inline">M'</math>. We provide only an example to give some intuition before describing how to construct the space <math display="inline">M'</math> in terms of local cycles around critical points.
=== Motivating example ===
Imagine a torus and a height function which is just the z value of the point.
[[File:3D-Leveltorus.png|200px]]
It has four critical points: two at the top and bottom of the outer circle (<math display="inline">p_1, p_4</math>) and two at the top and bottom of the inner circle (<math display="inline">p_2, p_3</math>).
[picture]
When the height is between the <math display="inline">p_1</math> and <math display="inline">p_2</math>, the space is a two-cell, which can be retracted to a point.
[picture]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_2</math> and <math display="inline">p_3</math>, the space is a cylinder, which can be retracted to a two-cell with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_and_disk_with_handle.png|200px]]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_3</math> and <math display="inline">p_4</math>, the space is a torus with a disc removed, which can be retracted to a cylinder with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_with_handle_and_torus_with_hole.png|200px]]
When the height is greater than <math display="inline">p_4</math>, then the full torus is constructed by attaching a two-cell.
[Explain in terms of Morse data and Morse index?]
=== Morse data and quasi-local cycles ===
As in the above example, we start at the "bottom" of <math display="inline">M</math> and build upwards until just before we reach our first critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
;Smooth points
:This is a tube around a <math display="inline">(d-1)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> where the height function <math display="inline">h</math> is maximised at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 223.</ref>
:For example, if <math display="inline">F(x, y) = \frac{1}{1 - x - y}</math> then <math display="inline">\lambda = 1</math> and <math display="inline">B^\lambda</math> is an arc reaching its highest point at <math display="inline">p</math>.
:The normal plane <math display="inline">N</math> at <math display="inline">p</math> is a plane orthogonal to <math display="inline">B^1</math>(?).
:Its normal link <math display="inline">L(S)</math> is a circle with two points missing where it intersects <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>.
:We make our quasi-local cycle out of the product of the arc and circle joined to <math display="inline">M_-</math> at points below <math display="inline">M_-</math>.
:With the exception of degenerate points, such as monkey saddles...<ref>e.g. Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 211.</ref>
;Transverse multiple points
:This is the product of a <math display="inline">k</math>-torus and a <math display="inline">(d-k)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math>. The torus is the product of circles about <math display="inline">p</math> in the complex normal space to each strata which intersects <math display="inline">p</math>. The chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> is supported in the stratum which is the common intersection of the varieties defined by the factors vanishing at <math display="inline">p</math>, and achieves its maximum height at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 223-224.</ref>
;Arrangement multiple point
:This is the product of a <math display="inline">(d-k)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> and several <math display="inline">k</math>-tori, one for each pair of sheets which intersect transversely, where the torus is the product of circles about <math display="inline">p</math> in each sheet.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 226.</ref>
;Cone point

=== Homotopy equivalence ===
[Assuming no CVAI...]
Theorem:
# Homotopy equivalence between M_{\leq a} and M_{\leq b}...
# If in a range <math display="inline">[a, b]</math> there are no CVAI and only one critical value <math display="inline">c</math>, not equal to either <math display="inline">a</math> or <math display="inline">b</math>, with one or more critical points <math display="inline">z_1, \cdots, z_m</math> then there is a stratified flow deforming any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a (homotopic?) chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{<c}</math> with sufficiently small balls around each critical point. This induces a homotopy between <math display="inline">(M_{c+\epsilon}, M_{c-\epsilon})</math> and the direct sum of <math display="inline">(M_{c-\epsilon} \cup B_{2\epsilon}(z_i), M_{c-\epsilon})</math> for each critical point <math display="inline">z_i</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 231.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
We can (potentially) define a function to implement this flow. Define <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> where <math display="inline">x</math> are points in the space and <math display="inline">t</math> is something like time. As <math display="inline">t</math> goes from zero to some positive number, <math display="inline">\Phi</math> moves the points <math display="inline">x</math> along the vectors. To describe this process formally, we say <math display="inline">\Phi</math> is the solution to the differential equation
<math display="block">\frac{d}{dt} \Phi(x, t) = v(x).</math>
We want a particular vector field <math display="inline">v</math> with certain properties... The proof of the existence of this vector field is long and complicated and we will not go into it here.<ref>It involves concepts such as Thom's isotopy lemma and Mather's controlled vector flows. See Mather 2012.</ref>
Using this vector field <math display="inline">v</math> but modified so as to be zero on <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>. This vector field defines a function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> such that
* <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t) = v(x)</math> when <math display="inline">h(x) \in (a, b]</math>.
* <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> is defined for <math display="inline">0 \leq t \leq h(x) - a</math> and in this range <math display="inline">h(\Phi(x, t)) = h(x) - t</math>.
* the map <math display="inline">\psi(x) = \Phi(x, b - a)</math> is a continuous map on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> with range (image?) <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math> and fixing <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>.
The function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, 0)</math> is the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\Phi(x, b - a) = \psi(x)</math>, therefore <math display="inline">\Phi</math> in the range <math display="inline">[0, b - a]</math> is a homotopy between the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\psi</math>. This implies 1)???<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 233.</ref>
Define the distance from a critical point <math display="inline">\kappa(x) = \min\{ |x - z_i| : z_1, \cdots, z_m \}</math>. For <math display="inline">s > 0 </math> we define a new vector field
<math display="block">v_s(x) = \begin{cases}
v(x) & \kappa(x) \geq s \\
\rho(\kappa(x)) v(x) & \kappa(x) \in [s/2, s] \\
0 & \kappa(x) \leq s/2
\end{cases}</math>
for a smooth non-decreasing function <math display="inline">\rho</math> where <math display="inline">\rho(s/2) = 0</math>.
Define <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> as the function such that <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t)_s = v_s(x)</math>. The height function <math display="inline">h</math> is non-increasing along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> (by implication of bullet point 2?) so points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> stay in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c - \epsilon}</math> when flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> and therefore <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> is a homotopy equivalence between <math display="inline">(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math> and <math display="inline">(\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon), M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math>. By <math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> we mean the space <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> for a short period of time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
[Prove it has the same critical points and is proper?]
<math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> takes points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> except for those that come within <math display="inline">s</math> of a critical point within time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
Therefore, we see how we <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> can homotopically deform a chain in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> and small neighbourhoods of critical points.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 234-235.</ref>
On the assumption of this theorem, we can start with any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> and deform this chain to <math display="inline">M_{c_1+}</math> using part 1. Then we deform this chain to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> and small balls around the critical points. The (sub?)chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> is then deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2+}</math>, which is deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2-} \cup z_{c_2}</math>, and so on. Eventually, we get to <math display="inline">M_{c_j-}</math> which is homotopic to any space "below" it. Therefore, we have deformed our chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a homotopic chain in the union of small balls around critical points.<ref>Baryshnikov, Melczer and Pemantle 2022, pp. ???.</ref><ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 217???</ref>

== Introduction ==
Morse theory tells us that the topology of M only changes at its critical points.
The "Morse data" tells us the topology at each critical point.
Attaching this Morse data together gives us a space which is homopotically eqivalent to M.
This space is a "cell complex", which has an easy to calculate homology.
Theorem: Our domain of convergence is homotopic to a cell complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>This is theorem D.23 in Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546. Also theorem in section 1.2*/5.2* in SMT pp. 200.</ref>
Proof:
# <math display="inline">X</math> is our entire domain, <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> our variety
# Project our entire domain to complex projective space <math display="inline">Z = \pi(X) \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n - H</math> [define H]
# Define a linear subspace <math display="inline">G \subset \C\mathbb{P}^n</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d - 1</math>
# Define a Morse function on <math display="inline">f: \C\mathbb{P}^n \to \R</math> which approximates the distance from <math display="inline">G</math> and such that <math display="inline">f^{-1}(0) = G</math> and <math display="inline">f^{-1}(1) = H</math>
# We "build" <math display="inline">X - \mathcal{V}</math> from <math display="inline">\pi^{-1}(G \cap Z) \cap (X - \mathcal{V})</math> by attaching CW complexes at critical points which are of at most dimension <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# At a critical point, the normal Morse data is <math display="inline">(J, K) = \coprod_x (J_x, K_x)</math> and the relative complex link is <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}^\pi = \coprod_x \mathcal{L}_x</math>
# We show that the quotient <math display="inline">J_x/K_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension <math display="inline">\leq 2n - d - 1</math>
# The neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> in <math display="inline">J_x</math> is homeomorphic to the cone in <math display="inline">L_x(X - \mathcal{V})</math>, and removing the point <math display="inline">x</math> increases the homotopy dimension to at most the homotopy dimension of <math display="inline">L_x</math>
# <math display="inline">(J_x \cup \{x\}, K_x)</math> is homotopic to <math display="inline">(\text{cone}(\mathcal{L}_x), \mathcal{L}_x)</math>
# <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}_x</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>
# The tangential Morse data at the critical point is homotopic to the pair <math display="inline">(D^\lambda, \partial D^\lambda)</math>
# Therefore, at each critical point a space has been added homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.
Theorem: If <math display="inline">X</math> is the complement in <math display="inline">\C^n</math> of a complex variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math> of dimension <math display="inline">d</math> then <math display="inline">X</math> is homotopic to a CW complex of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 546.</ref>
Proof:
# We build <math display="inline">X</math> by attaching cells of dimension at most <math display="inline">2n - d - 1</math> at each critical point.
## Prove that we can do this without changing the homotopy(?)
## We use Thom's Isotopy Lemma to prove that there is a strong deformation retraction, stopping only at critical points.
# Prove these cells are a product of the normal and tangential Morse data.
## Normal data: <math display="inline">(\mathcal{L}(S), \partial \mathcal{L}(S)) \times (D^1, \partial D^1)</math> [GM pp. 18]

Theorem: Suppose <math display="inline">Z</math> is a closed subset of a smooth manifold <math display="inline">M</math> which admits a Whitney stratification and <math display="inline">h : M \to \R</math> is a proper Morse function which has no critical values on <math display="inline">Z</math>. Then, the level sets of <math display="inline">Z</math> are homeomorphic by a homeomorphism that preserves the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>For various versions of the full statement of the theorem, see Mather 2012, pp. 499, Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 41, or Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 541.</ref>
Proof:
# Construct control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.
## [Prop 7.1] If <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
# This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an abstract stratified set and <math display="inline">f</math> a controlled submersion.
# A controlled submersion has, for any smooth vector field on <math display="inline">\R</math>, a controlled vector field on <math display="inline">Z</math> (a "lift"?)<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
# A controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>

Control data:
A system of '''control data''' for <math display="inline">Z</math> consists of, for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>,
* a '''tubular neighbourhood''' <math display="inline">T_X</math> of <math display="inline">X</math>
* a '''tubular projection function''' <math display="inline">\pi_X: T_X \to X</math>, and
* a '''tubular distance function''' <math display="inline">\rho_X: T_X \to \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\rho_X^{-1}(0) = X</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 42.</ref>
[illustration]
such that if <math display="inline">X < Y</math> are strata in <math display="inline">Z</math>, then
<math display="block">\pi_X \pi_Y(m) = \pi_X(m),</math>
<math display="block">\rho_X \pi_Y(m) = \rho_X(m)</math>
for all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X| \cap |T_Y|</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi_Y(m) \in |T_X|</math>.
If, for all strata <math display="inline">X</math> and all <math display="inline">m \in |T_X|</math>, we have <math display="inline">h \pi_X(m) = h(m)</math>, then this control data will be said to be compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is smooth on <math display="inline">Z</math> and is a submersion for each strata then there exists a family of control data for <math display="inline">Z</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488, prop 7.1.</ref>
Let <math display="inline">Z_k</math> be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. We prove by induction on <math display="inline">k</math>.
To construct the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_X</math> of a stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension less than <math display="inline">k</math>. For <math display="inline">l \leq k</math>, let <math display="inline">U_l</math> denote the union of all <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> for <math display="inline">Y < X</math> and <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l</math>. Let <math display="inline">X_l = U_l \cap X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
For <math display="inline">l = k</math>, <math display="inline">X_k = \empty</math>. Assume by induction that <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> has been constructed and that if <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">\dim Y \geq l + 1</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{l+1} = \pi_{T_{l+1}}</math>) then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489-490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We wish to construct a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> of <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X</math> whose restriction to <math display="inline">|T_Y| \cap X_{l+1}</math> is isomorphic to the restriction of <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> such that if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{X,Y}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> (<math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y} = \pi_{T_{X,Y}}</math>) then
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{X,Y}(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
By shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math> if necessary, this relation is already satisfied if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}| \cap |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y|</math> with <math display="inline">T_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}</math> in place of <math display="inline">\pi_{X,Y}</math>. By the definition, if <math display="inline">m \in |T_{l+1}|</math> then there exists <math display="inline">Z < X</math> with <math display="inline">\dim Z > l</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Z|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Z|</math>. We have that <math display="inline">\pi_{l+1}(m) \in |T_Y| \cap |T_Z|</math> and therefore <math display="inline">Y < Z</math>. Therefore<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \rho_Y \pi_Z(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z \pi_{l+1}(m) = \pi_Y \pi_Z(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
We can prove that, by shrinking <math display="inline">|T_Y|</math>, <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X \to \R \times Y</math> is a submersion [prop 7.3?] and that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y) \pi_{X,Y}(m) = (\rho_Y, \pi_Y)(m)</math>(?).
To prove it is a submersion, for the tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T = (E, \epsilon, \psi)</math> there exists a smooth positive function <math display="inline">\epsilon'</math> such that
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): Y \cap |T|_{\epsilon'}^0 \to \R \times X,</math>
where <math display="inline">|T|_{\epsilon'}^0 = \psi(B_\epsilon \cap B_{\epsilon'})</math>, is a submersion. If <math display="inline">\Sigma</math> is the set <math display="inline">y \in |T|</math> such that the rank of
<math display="block">(\rho_T, \pi_T): T \cap |T| \to \R \times X</math>
at <math display="inline">y</math> is less than <math display="inline">\dim(\R \times X)</math>. We need to prove that for any <math display="inline">x \in X</math> there exists a neighbourhood of <math display="inline">x</math> which does not intersect with <math display="inline">\Sigma</math>, i.e. the map is not a submersion in this neighbourhood. It follows from [lemma 7.2] that it is enough to prove for <math display="inline">M = \R^m</math>, <math display="inline">X = \R^{m-c} \times 0_c</math> and <math display="inline">T</math> is the '''standard tubular neighbourhood'''.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
By standard tubular neighbourhood, we mean the trivial bundle with base <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math> and fibre <math display="inline">\R^c</math> where <math display="inline">\pi: \R^m \to \R^{m-c}</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 488.</ref>
For <math display="inline">y \in |T| - \R^{m-c}</math>, the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> at <math display="inline">y</math> is the orthogonal complement of <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> in <math display="inline">\R^m</math>. By the Whitney conditions, we have that for <math display="inline">y</math> near <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">(\R^{m-c} \times 0_c) \oplus \stackrel{\frown}{y \pi_T(y)}</math> is close to the set of <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> planes in <math display="inline">m-</math>space to an <math display="inline">m - c + 1</math> plane in <math display="inline">TY_y</math>. Therefore, for <math display="inline">y</math> near enough to <math display="inline">\R^{m-c}</math>, <math display="inline">TY_y</math> is transverse to the kernal of the differential of <math display="inline">(\pi_T, \rho_T)</math> and, therefore, is a submersion when restricted to <math display="inline">Y</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 489.</ref>
To prove that <math display="inline">T_{X,Y}</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">(\rho_Y, \pi_Y): |T_Y| \cap X_{l+1} \to \R \times Y</math>...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
Therefore, there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T_0</math> of <math display="inline">X_0</math> satisfying
<math display="block">\rho_Y \pi_0(m) = \rho_Y(m),</math>
<math display="block">\pi_Y \pi_0(m) = \pi_Y(m).</math>
From this we can prove that <math display="inline">T_0</math> is compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. Replacing <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a smaller tubular neighbourhood if necessary we can assume <math display="inline">m \in |T_0|</math> such that for some <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, <math display="inline">m \in |T_Y|</math> and <math display="inline">\pi_0(m) \in |T_Y|</math>, then<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 490.</ref>
<math display="block">h \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y \pi_0(m) = h \pi_Y(m) = h(m).</math>
By the generalised tubular neighourhood theorem [prop 7.2?], we can replace <math display="inline">T_0</math> with a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T</math> of <math display="inline">X</math> compatible with <math display="inline">h</math>. This completes the construction of <math display="inline">T_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491.</ref>
This makes <math display="inline">Z</math> an '''abstract stratified set''' with axioms...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 491-492.</ref>
This also makes <math display="inline">h</math> a '''controlled submersion''' because
# <math display="inline">h|X: X \to \R</math> is a smooth submersion on each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, and
# for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> there is a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_X</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_X(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in T'_X</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.

We define a '''stratified vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a family of smooth vector fields <math display="inline">\eta_X</math>, one for each strata <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
We define a '''controlled vector field''' <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> to be a stratified vector field such that for any strata <math display="inline">Y</math> there exists a tubular neighbourhood <math display="inline">T'_Y</math> such that for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and any <math display="inline">v \in T'_X \cap X</math><ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
<math display="block">\eta_X \rho_{Y,X}(v) = 0,</math>
<math display="block">(\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) = \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)).</math>
We prove that if <math display="inline">h</math> is a controlled submersion then, for any smooth vector field <math display="inline">\zeta</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math> there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\eta</math> on <math display="inline">Z</math> such that <math display="inline">h_* \eta(v) = \zeta(h(v))</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493.</ref>
Proceeding by induction on the maximum dimension of the strata of <math display="inline">Z</math>, we define <math display="inline">Z_k</math> to be the union of strata of <math display="inline">Z</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>. The tubular neighbourhood of <math display="inline">Z_k</math> is the intersection of the tubular neighbourhoods of each strata in <math display="inline">Z_k</math> with <math display="inline">Z</math>. The projection and distance functions are the restrictions of the respective functions of <math display="inline">Z</math>.
It is trivially true when the maximum dimension of strata in <math display="inline">Z</math> is zero. Assume it is true for <math display="inline">k</math> and construct each <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> separately for each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of dimension <math display="inline">k + 1</math>.
By the assumption that we have controlled vector fields for all strata <math display="inline">Y</math> of dimension at most <math display="inline">k</math>, we have the two control conditions defined above for any <math display="inline">X > Y</math> and that there is a neighbourhood <math display="inline">T^1_Y</math> such that <math display="inline">h(v) = h \pi_Y(v)</math> for <math display="inline">v \in T^1_Y</math>.
We want to prove that for all <math display="inline">Y < X</math>, the control conditions are satisfied for all <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math> and that <math display="inline">h_*\eta_X(v) = \zeta(v)</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in X</math>.
Take a point <math display="inline">x \in X</math> and define the set <math display="inline">S_v</math> of strata <math display="inline">Y < X</math> such that <math display="inline">v \in T^2_Y</math>. <math display="inline">S_v</math> is totally ordered since if <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_2</math> are not comparable then <math display="inline">T^2_{Y_1} \cap T^2_{Y_2} = \empty</math>. Therefore, there is a largest member <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>.
Assume the control conditions hold for <math display="inline">Y = Y_v</math>. Then they hold for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. For, either <math display="inline">Y_i = Y</math> or <math display="inline">Y_i < Y</math>. In the latter case, <math display="inline">\pi_Y(v) \in T^1_{Y_i}</math> (by the choice of <math display="inline">T^2_Y</math>'s [is this why?]. Then
<math display="block">\begin{align}
\eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,X}(v) &= \eta_X \rho_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= \eta_Y(\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \rho_{Y_i,Y} \\
&= 0
\end{align}</math>
and
<math display="block">\begin{align}
(\pi_{Y_i,X})_* \eta_X(v) &= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* (\pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= (\pi_{Y_i,Y})_* \eta_Y(v) (\pi_{Y,X}) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,Y} \pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \eta_{Y_i}(\pi_{Y_i,X}(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, condition holds for all <math display="inline">Y_i \in S_v</math>. Also,
<math display="block">\begin{align}
h_* \eta_X(v) &= (h \circ \pi_{Y,X})_* \eta_X(v) \\
&= h_* \eta_Y (\pi_{Y,X}(v)) \\
&= \zeta(f(v))
\end{align}</math>
and, therefore, the conclusion of the theorem holds at <math display="inline">v</math>.
This shows we can construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> satisfying the control conditions when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is non-empty and satisfying the theorem when <math display="inline">S_v</math> is empty. The set of vectors satisfying these conditions is convex in <math display="inline">TX_v</math>, and so we construct <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> globally via a partition of unity.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 493-495.</ref>
Finally, we prove that a controlled vector field has a unique one-parameter family of homeomorphisms of <math display="inline">Z</math> which commute with <math display="inline">h</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, this combines Proposition 10.1 and Corollary 10.2 on pp. 496 and 497, respectively.</ref>
For each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math>, <math display="inline">\eta_X</math> generates a unique smooth local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> of diffeomorphisms of <math display="inline">X</math> (by standard results of differential geometry), such that <math display="inline">\frac{d}{dt} \alpha(t, v)|_{t=0} = \eta_X(v)</math>, <math display="inline">J_X</math> is an open subset of <math display="inline">\R \times Z</math>, ...
If we define <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> by
<math display="block">J = \bigcup_{X \in S} J_X</math>
<math display="block">\alpha = \bigcup_{X \in S} \alpha_X</math>
we can prove that this is a local one-parameter family of homeomorphisms.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496.</ref>
Firstly, it is clear that
# <math display="inline">0 \times Z \subseteq J</math> and <math display="inline">\alpha(0, v) = v</math> for all <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> then <math display="inline">J_v = J \cap (\R \times v) \subseteq \R</math> is an open interval <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math>, possibly infinite at one or both ends.
# If <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and <math display="inline">t, s, t + s</math> are in <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> then <math display="inline">\alpha(t + s, v) = \alpha(t, \alpha(s, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
Secondly, it is clear that <math display="inline">\eta</math> generates <math display="inline">\alpha</math> because
# Each stratum <math display="inline">X</math> of <math display="inline">Z</math> is invariant under <math display="inline">\alpha</math>, i.e. <math display="inline">\alpha[J \cap (\R \times X)] \subseteq X</math>.
# For each <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>, the map <math display="inline">t \to \alpha(t, v)</math> of <math display="inline">(a_v, b_v)</math> into the stratum which contains <math display="inline">v</math> is <math display="inline">C^1</math>.
# For any <math display="inline">(t, v) \in Z</math>(?) we have <math display="inline">d/dt \alpha(t, v) = \eta(\alpha(t, v))</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
It is unique because each <math display="inline">(J_X, \alpha_X)</math> is unique. We just need to prove that <math display="inline">J</math> is open, <math display="inline">\alpha</math> is continuous, and for any <math display="inline">v \in Z</math> and any compact set <math display="inline">K \subseteq Z</math> there exists <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> such that <math display="inline">\alpha(t, v) \notin K</math> if <math display="inline">t \in (a_v, a_v + \epsilon) \cup (b_v - \epsilon, b_v)</math>.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 495.</ref>
For the latter-most condition, if it did not hold then there exists...<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 496-497.</ref>
We prove there is a homeomorphism <math display="inline">f: Z \to h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> such that <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>, where <math display="inline">\pi: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to \R</math> is projection to the second factor.
For the coordinate vector field <math display="inline">\partial</math> on <math display="inline">\R</math>, by [prop 9.1] there is a controlled vector field <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> such that <math display="inline">f_* \tilde\partial(v) = \partial(h(v))</math> for <math display="inline">v \in Z</math>. By [prop 10.1], <math display="inline">\tilde\partial</math> generates a local one-parameter group <math display="inline">(J, \alpha)</math> such that
<math display="block">h(\alpha(t,v)) = h(v) + t</math>
<math display="inline">h</math> is proper and [d] holds, so <math display="inline">J = \R \times Z</math>. If we define <math display="inline">f</math> as
<math display="block">f(v) = (\alpha(-t, v), h(v))</math>
then <math display="inline">f</math> maps <math display="inline">Z</math> into <math display="inline">h^{-1}(0) \times \R</math> and <math display="inline">\pi \circ f = h</math>. If we define <math display="inline">\bar f: h^{-1}(0) \times \R \to Z</math> as
<math display="block">\bar f(v, t) = \alpha(t, v)</math>
then <math display="inline">f \bar f = \bar f f = Id</math> and <math display="inline">f</math> is a homeomorphism.<ref>Mather 2012, pp. 497.</ref>

=== Step 1 ===
We get this immediately(?) by Thom's Isotopy Lemma.
=== Step 2 ===
<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, complex case on pp. 120-121 is extension of real case on pp. 95-96.</ref>
We take our space <math display="inline">M</math> and map it onto <math display="inline">\R^2</math> with the map <math display="inline">F(z) = (r(z), h(z))</math>, where <math display="inline">z \in M</math> and <math display="inline">r</math> is the square of the distance of <math display="inline">z</math> to the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
[graph of mapping]
What we want is a homeomorphism in <math display="inline">M</math> between the space <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon}</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B</math>, where <math display="inline">B</math> is a small region of the critical point <math display="inline">p</math>. The '''local Morse data''' is
<math display="block">((B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}[v-\epsilon, v+\epsilon], (B_\delta \cap Z) \cap f^{-1}(v-\epsilon))</math>
where <math display="inline">B_\delta</math> is a closed disc in <math display="inline">M</math> of radius <math display="inline">\delta</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 63-64.</ref> Observe that this is the pair <math display="inline">(F^{-1}(\text{Box}(\delta, \epsilon)), F^{-1}(\text{Bottom}(\delta, \epsilon)))</math><ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 91.</ref> [explain Box, Bottom, etc.]
[picture of the two subspaces of Z in M]
We use our map <math display="inline">F</math> to convert these two subspaces to subspaces of <math display="inline">\R^2</math> which are of the form <math display="inline">Y_1 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq \epsilon\}</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0 = \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | y \leq -\epsilon\} \cup \{(x,y) \in \R^2 | x \leq \delta, y \leq \epsilon\}</math>, such that <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} = F^{-1}(Y_1)</math> and <math display="inline">Z_{\leq \epsilon} \cup B = F^{-1}(Y_0)</math>.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 95-96.</ref>
We use a homeomorphism between <math display="inline">Y_1</math> and <math display="inline">Y_0</math> using the technique of "moving the wall" and Thom's Isotopy Lemma.<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, chapter 4, particularly pp. 71-72.</ref>
For the composition
<math display="block">Z \times \R \subset M \times \R \to_{F \times I} Y \subset \R^2 \times \R \to_{\pi} \R</math>
where <math display="inline">Y(t, z) = Y_t(z)</math>, <math display="inline">I</math> is the identity and <math display="inline">\pi</math> is projection to the second factor.
<math display="inline">Z \times \R</math> is transverse to <math display="inline">(F \times I)^{-1}(Y)</math>...
The composition <math display="inline">\pi \circ (F \times I): Z \times \R \cap (F \times I)^{-1}(Y) \to \R</math> is a stratified submersion...
Therefore, we can apply Thom's Isotopy Lemma which says there is a homeomorphism between the level sets of <math display="inline">Z \times \R</math>...<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 72.</ref>
=== Step 3 ===
We prove there is a stratum preserving homeomorphism between<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 65.</ref>
<math display="block">\text{Local Morse Data} \cong (\text{Tangential Morse Data}) \times (\text{Normal Morse Data})</math>
We first prove that there is a homeomorphism between the product of the normal and tangential Morse data and the realisation of the following diagram<ref>Goresky and MacPherson 1988, pp. 100-102.</ref>
[diagram from pp. 102]

Steps(?)
* Explain topology
* Every point of a stratum is locally like a product structure (proved by Thom's Isotopy Lemma) [GM pp. 41-42]
** Including those around critical points, which are the product of normal and tangential Morse data (these are our quasi-local cycles?)
* Thom's Isotopy Lemma proves a strong deformation retraction (which only stops at critical points) [PWM pp. 541-542]
=== Homotopy ===
We want to replace our domain of convergence <math display="inline">M</math>, which is the complement of our singular variety <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>, with an "equivalent" space <math display="inline">M'</math> which has better understood properties. We say "equivalent" because there are several different things we could mean by "equivalent" in this context. The equivalence we are referring to in this section is called '''homotopy'''.
Imagine two subspaces <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> of a space <math display="inline">Y</math> which are defined respectively by smooth functions <math display="inline">f, g: X \to Y</math>. If there exists a smooth function <math display="inline">h_s: X \times [0, 1] \to Y</math>, called a homotopy, such that <math display="inline">h_0 = f</math>, <math display="inline">h_1 = g</math> and for any <math display="inline">\epsilon > 0</math> there exists a <math display="inline">\delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">\delta_b</math> such that when <math display="inline">|s - s_0| < \delta_a</math> and <math display="inline">|x - x_0| < \delta_b</math> we have <math display="inline">|h_s(x) - h_{s_0}(x_0)| < \epsilon</math>, then we say <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are '''homotopic'''.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 251-252.</ref>
Below is an example where <math display="inline">\gamma_0</math> and <math display="inline">\gamma_1</math> are one-dimensional curves and <math display="inline">H(t, s) = h_s(t)</math>.
[[File:Homotopy_curves.png|300px]]
In [[#Homotopy_equivalence|Appendix A]], we formally prove that we can construct an equivalent space <math display="inline">M'</math>. We provide only an example to give some intuition before describing how to construct the space <math display="inline">M'</math> in terms of local cycles around critical points.
=== Motivating example ===
Imagine a torus and a height function which is just the z value of the point.
[[File:3D-Leveltorus.png|200px]]
It has four critical points: two at the top and bottom of the outer circle (<math display="inline">p_1, p_4</math>) and two at the top and bottom of the inner circle (<math display="inline">p_2, p_3</math>).
[picture]
When the height is between the <math display="inline">p_1</math> and <math display="inline">p_2</math>, the space is a two-cell, which can be retracted to a point.
[picture]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_2</math> and <math display="inline">p_3</math>, the space is a cylinder, which can be retracted to a two-cell with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_and_disk_with_handle.png|200px]]
When the height is between <math display="inline">p_3</math> and <math display="inline">p_4</math>, the space is a torus with a disc removed, which can be retracted to a cylinder with a one-cell attached.
[[File:3D-Cylinder_with_handle_and_torus_with_hole.png|200px]]
When the height is greater than <math display="inline">p_4</math>, then the full torus is constructed by attaching a two-cell.
[Explain in terms of Morse data and Morse index?]
=== Morse data and quasi-local cycles ===
As in the above example, we start at the "bottom" of <math display="inline">M</math> and build upwards until just before we reach our first critical point <math display="inline">p</math>.
;Smooth points
:This is a tube around a <math display="inline">(d-1)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> where the height function <math display="inline">h</math> is maximised at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 223.</ref>
:For example, if <math display="inline">F(x, y) = \frac{1}{1 - x - y}</math> then <math display="inline">\lambda = 1</math> and <math display="inline">B^\lambda</math> is an arc reaching its highest point at <math display="inline">p</math>.
:The normal plane <math display="inline">N</math> at <math display="inline">p</math> is a plane orthogonal to <math display="inline">B^1</math>(?).
:Its normal link <math display="inline">L(S)</math> is a circle with two points missing where it intersects <math display="inline">\mathcal{V}</math>.
:We make our quasi-local cycle out of the product of the arc and circle joined to <math display="inline">M_-</math> at points below <math display="inline">M_-</math>.
:With the exception of degenerate points, such as monkey saddles...<ref>e.g. Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 211.</ref>
;Transverse multiple points
:This is the product of a <math display="inline">k</math>-torus and a <math display="inline">(d-k)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math>. The torus is the product of circles about <math display="inline">p</math> in the complex normal space to each strata which intersects <math display="inline">p</math>. The chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> is supported in the stratum which is the common intersection of the varieties defined by the factors vanishing at <math display="inline">p</math>, and achieves its maximum height at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 223-224.</ref>
;Arrangement multiple point
:This is the product of a <math display="inline">(d-k)</math>-chain <math display="inline">\gamma</math> and several <math display="inline">k</math>-tori, one for each pair of sheets which intersect transversely, where the torus is the product of circles about <math display="inline">p</math> in each sheet.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 226.</ref>
;Cone point
:A cone point is zero-dimensional so there is no <math display="inline">\gamma</math>, just a <math display="inline">d</math>-torus about <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 227.</ref>
== Appendix ==
=== Homotopy equivalence ===
[Assuming no CVAI...]
Theorem:
# Homotopy equivalence between M_{\leq a} and M_{\leq b}...
# If in a range <math display="inline">[a, b]</math> there are no CVAI and only one critical value <math display="inline">c</math>, not equal to either <math display="inline">a</math> or <math display="inline">b</math>, with one or more critical points <math display="inline">z_1, \cdots, z_m</math> then there is a stratified flow deforming any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a (homotopic?) chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{<c}</math> with sufficiently small balls around each critical point. This induces a homotopy between <math display="inline">(M_{c+\epsilon}, M_{c-\epsilon})</math> and the direct sum of <math display="inline">(M_{c-\epsilon} \cup B_{2\epsilon}(z_i), M_{c-\epsilon})</math> for each critical point <math display="inline">z_i</math>.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 231.</ref>
The core of this is the concept of a '''vector field'''. A vector field is a function which assigns, for each point <math display="inline">p</math> in a space, a '''vector''', which can be represented by an arrow whose tail starts at <math display="inline">p</math>.<ref>Henle 1979, pp. 33.</ref>
[picture]
Imagine we have a vector field <math display="inline">v(x)</math> defined in a space and draw a line through our space. At each point along this line the vector field assigns a vector. If we move each point in this line along the arrow defined by this vector in the direction of the arrow head. This "flows" the entire line along the vectors.
We can (potentially) define a function to implement this flow. Define <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> where <math display="inline">x</math> are points in the space and <math display="inline">t</math> is something like time. As <math display="inline">t</math> goes from zero to some positive number, <math display="inline">\Phi</math> moves the points <math display="inline">x</math> along the vectors. To describe this process formally, we say <math display="inline">\Phi</math> is the solution to the differential equation
<math display="block">\frac{d}{dt} \Phi(x, t) = v(x).</math>
We want a particular vector field <math display="inline">v</math> with certain properties... The proof of the existence of this vector field is long and complicated and we will not go into it here.<ref>It involves concepts such as Thom's isotopy lemma and Mather's controlled vector flows. See Mather 2012.</ref>
Using this vector field <math display="inline">v</math> but modified so as to be zero on <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>. This vector field defines a function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> such that
* <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t) = v(x)</math> when <math display="inline">h(x) \in (a, b]</math>.
* <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> is defined for <math display="inline">0 \leq t \leq h(x) - a</math> and in this range <math display="inline">h(\Phi(x, t)) = h(x) - t</math>.
* the map <math display="inline">\psi(x) = \Phi(x, b - a)</math> is a continuous map on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> with range (image?) <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math> and fixing <math display="inline">M_{\leq a}</math>.
The function <math display="inline">\Phi(x, 0)</math> is the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\Phi(x, b - a) = \psi(x)</math>, therefore <math display="inline">\Phi</math> in the range <math display="inline">[0, b - a]</math> is a homotopy between the identity on <math display="inline">M_{\leq b}</math> and <math display="inline">\psi</math>. This implies 1)???<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 233.</ref>
Define the distance from a critical point <math display="inline">\kappa(x) = \min\{ |x - z_i| : z_1, \cdots, z_m \}</math>. For <math display="inline">s > 0 </math> we define a new vector field
<math display="block">v_s(x) = \begin{cases}
v(x) & \kappa(x) \geq s \\
\rho(\kappa(x)) v(x) & \kappa(x) \in [s/2, s] \\
0 & \kappa(x) \leq s/2
\end{cases}</math>
for a smooth non-decreasing function <math display="inline">\rho</math> where <math display="inline">\rho(s/2) = 0</math>.
Define <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> as the function such that <math display="inline">d/dt \Phi(x, t)_s = v_s(x)</math>. The height function <math display="inline">h</math> is non-increasing along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> (by implication of bullet point 2?) so points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> stay in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c - \epsilon}</math> when flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> and therefore <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> is a homotopy equivalence between <math display="inline">(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math> and <math display="inline">(\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon), M_{\leq c-\epsilon})</math>. By <math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> we mean the space <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> flowed along <math display="inline">\Phi(x, t)</math> for a short period of time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
[Prove it has the same critical points and is proper?]
<math display="inline">\Phi(M_{\leq c+\epsilon}, 2\epsilon)</math> takes points in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> except for those that come within <math display="inline">s</math> of a critical point within time <math display="inline">2\epsilon</math>.
Therefore, we see how we <math display="inline">\Phi_s</math> can homotopically deform a chain in <math display="inline">M_{\leq c+\epsilon}</math> to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{\leq c-\epsilon}</math> and small neighbourhoods of critical points.<ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 234-235.</ref>
On the assumption of this theorem, we can start with any chain in <math display="inline">M</math> and deform this chain to <math display="inline">M_{c_1+}</math> using part 1. Then we deform this chain to a chain in the union of <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> and small balls around the critical points. The (sub?)chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_1-}</math> is then deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2+}</math>, which is deformed to a chain in <math display="inline">M_{c_2-} \cup z_{c_2}</math>, and so on. Eventually, we get to <math display="inline">M_{c_j-}</math> which is homotopic to any space "below" it. Therefore, we have deformed our chain in <math display="inline">M</math> to a homotopic chain in the union of small balls around critical points.<ref>Baryshnikov, Melczer and Pemantle 2022, pp. ???.</ref><ref>Pemantle, Wilson and Melczer 2024, pp. 217???</ref>

The implementation of '''global user rights''' on Wikimedia projects extends to the English Wikibooks. This policy defines their use on this wiki.
== Use of rights ==
=== Global abuse filter maintainers ===
[[File:AbuseFilterMaintainerIcon.png|right|80px]]
{{further|m:Abuse filter maintainers}}
'''Global abuse filter maintainers''' are users who are permitted to view, and where appropriate, modify [[Wikibooks:Edit filter|edit filters]] on all wikis. They are permitted to use any of the rights associated with their role on the English Wikibooks, unless otherwise requested not to by any local administrator, which can be appealed to the [[WB:AA|wider community]].
In addition, global abuse filter maintainers can view temporary account IP addresses and use the IP Information tool, provided they comply with the Wikimedia Foundation's Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/abusefilter-maintainer|global abuse filter maintainer rights]]
=== Global bots ===
[[File:Meta-Wiki Bot.svg|right|80px]]
{{further|m:Global bots}}
The English Wikibooks allows the use of global bots approved by the [[m:Global bots|bot policy]] on Meta-Wiki, but does ''not'' allow automatic approval. With that note, users that run global bots are advised to follow [[Wikibooks:Bots]] when bots are used locally. English Wikibooks administrators may locally block (or otherwise ask to stop operating) global bots that do not conform to English Wikibooks norms and policies.
* List of bots with [[Special:GlobalUsers/global-bot|global bot rights]]
===Global deleters {{anchor|Global deleter}}===
{{see|m:Global deleters}}
'''Global deleters''' may use their rights only to help users transition to [[m:Global user pages|global user pages]] or otherwise manage their user space via the [[m:Synchbot|Synchbot service]].
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/global-deleter|global deleter rights]]
=== Global interface editors ===
[[File:Global interface editor.svg|right|80px]]
{{further|m:Global interface editors}}
'''Global interface editors''' are users who can edit all pages including the MediaWiki namespace on all wikis, and maintain templates and the site's JavaScript (<code>*.js</code>) and Cascading Style Sheets (<code>*.css</code>) resources. They are permitted to use any of the rights associated with their role on the English Wikibooks, unless otherwise requested not to by any local interface administrator, which can be appealed to the [[WB:AA|wider community]].
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/global-interface-editor|global interface editor rights]]
=== Global rollbackers ===
[[File:Meta-Wiki Global rollback.svg|right|80px]]
{{further|m:Global rollback}}
'''Global rollbackers''' are users who can roll back edits that are blatantly counterproductive, such as vandalism and nonsense, on all Wikimedia wikis. By default, they may use their rights on the English Wikibooks, provided they have not previously had the [[Wikibooks:Reviewers|reviewer]] right removed involuntarily. If removal has previously occurred, they must request and be [[Wikibooks:Requests for permissions|granted reviewer locally]] (which grants the use of rollback) by an [[Wikibooks:Administrators|English Wikibooks administrator]]. Furthermore, any English Wikibooks administrator can ask a global rollbacker to stop using rollback if what they deem to be misuse occurs, and the global rollbacker must comply with such a request. Such a decision by an administrator can be appealed to the [[WB:AA|wider community]]. Failure to comply may result in a local block.
In addition, global rollbackers can view temporary account IP addresses and use the IP Information tool, provided they comply with the Wikimedia Foundation's Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/global-rollbacker|global rollback rights]]
=== Global sysops ===
[[File:Meta-Wiki Global sysop.svg|right|80px]]
{{further|m:Global sysops}}
'''Global sysops''' are users who have administrator and interface administrator permissions on most wikis. It is activated on the English Wikibooks as [[Wikibooks:Reading room/Archives/2010/April#Global sysops|community consensus to opt in]] was attained. Global sysops are permitted to use any of the rights associated with their role on the English Wikibooks, unless otherwise requested not to by any local administrator, which can be appealed to the [[WB:AA|wider community]].
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/global-sysop|global sysop rights]]
=== Ombuds ===
{{further|m:Ombuds commission}}
The '''ombuds commission''' is tasked with investigating complaints about violations of the [[m:privacy policy|privacy policy]] (in particular concerning the use of [[m:CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] and [[m:Oversighters|oversight]] tools) on any Wikimedia project, for the Board in an official manner. The users who make up the ombuds commission are given the ability to run checks, view the CheckUser log, view suppressed content, and view the suppression log on every project. To file a complaint, please contact the commission privately.
The ombuds may use their global rights for investigating complaints about violations of the [[wmf:Policy:Privacy policy|privacy policy]]. Their use of the global rights is at the discretion and restriction of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/ombuds|ombuds rights]]
=== Staff ===
{{see|wmf:Staff}}
Members of this group are paid employees of the [[:w:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]]. Similar to [[m:Ombuds commission|ombuds]], they hold global [[Wikibooks:CheckUser|CheckUser]] rights as well as global adminship and global oversight rights. They will perform office actions when needed, such as complaints related to [[:w:defamation|defamation]], [[:w:Privacy laws of the United States|privacy violations]], or [[:w:copyright infringement|copyright infringement]]. Not all Foundation staff are granted access to this group; it is based upon need for access. Staff rights are not limited by decision-making processes that involve global or local communities.
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/staff|staff rights]]
=== Stewards ===
[[File:Wikimedia steward Icon.svg|right|80px]]
{{further|m:Stewards}}
'''Stewards''' are a global group of users who have complete access to the wiki interface on all public Wikimedia wikis. They may use their [[#Global rollbackers|global rollback]] and [[#Global sysops|global sysop]] permissions on the English Wikibooks, and may use [[Special:Undelete]] to view deleted revisions in the course of their duties as stewards. They are also permitted to use [[Wikibooks:CheckUser|the CheckUser tool]], even in non-emergency situations (that is, even if local CheckUsers exist on this wiki). In emergency situations where local users are unable or unavailable to act, stewards are asked to use their global rights to protect the best interests of Wikibooks.
The English Wikibooks has no local suppressors ([[Wikibooks:Oversight|oversighters]]) at this time; therefore, stewards fill in this role, but they are allowed to process non-emergency oversight requests even if local oversighters are appointed on this wiki in the future.
Stewards, along with staff and system administrators, are able to delete pages with more than 5,000 revisions.
In their global role, stewards grant CheckUser and Oversight permissions to all projects, and can remove all permissions (in an emergency situation, in response to a user's self-request, or per Board decision). These actions can affect the English Wikibooks, but are done at [[meta:Steward requests/Permissions]] and are logged at [[:meta:Special:Log/rights]].
* List of users with [[Special:GlobalUsers/steward|steward rights]]
=== System administrators ===
{{further|m:System administrators}}
Wikimedia '''system administrators''' are people who do [[wikitech:Server Admin Log|systems administration work]] on the Wikimedia servers. They can change a Wikimedia site's live copy of [[w:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], read server logs, etc. Those with server access can also carry out various non-development tasks.
The [[w:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] legally controls the servers, so the [[wmf:Board of Trustees|Wikimedia Board of Trustees]] are ultimately responsible for determining who has sysadmin access. However, they generally delegate this responsibility. On a day-to-day basis, various sysadmins with root access manage the server accounts.
System administrators may use their global rights in whatever manner they deem necessary to manage the Wikimedia Foundation's assets.

==Introduction==
RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set) aim to be an additional open hardware option to closed Arm or x86 ISAs used in most CPUs.
[https://www.thegoodpenguin.co.uk/blog/an-overview-of-opensbi/ OpenSBI] is an [https://github.com/riscv/opensbi open-source reference implementation] of the RISC-V Supervisor Binary Interface [https://github.com/riscv/riscv-sbi-doc SBI] specification. Firmware running at a higher privilege level that setups hardware and allows lower privilege levels, like an operating system, to call up to it for power-cycling or allocating CPU cores.
With [https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/ RISC-V], userspace at ‘U’, the kernel at ‘S’ (supervisor) and the firmware at ‘M’ (machine).
RISC-V knows 3 privilege levels:
<pre>
M (machine) mode:
highest privilege
low-level firmware (e.g. OpenSBI), system boot, and security (e.g. secure execution environments)
handles critical system traps
return to lower-privileged levels using mret instruction
S (supervisor) mode:
intermediate privilege
used by operating system kernels to manage memory and hardware resources
restrict direct access to machine-level configuration registers and physical memory protection (PMP)
uses Memory Management Unit (MMU) and virtual memory
ecall instruction to request kernel services
return to U-mode using sret instruction
U (user) mode:
lowest privilege
cannot execute privileged instructions, access physical memory directly without virtual memory translations, or directly alter core control registers
user space executing standard applications
prevents incorrect or malicious application code from interfering with other running programs or the operating system itself
</pre>
Thus ‘S’ and ‘VS’ refer to the kernel (where ‘VS’ relates to virtual s-mode when virtualisation is in use).
QEMU can emulate both 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V CPUs. Use the qemu-system-riscv64 executable to simulate a 64-bit RISC-V machine, It also supports 64-bit CPUs.

== '''<big>A Young Reader's Guide to a Clean and Healthy Environment.</big>''' ==
== '''Book Summary:''' ==
A Young Reader’s Guide to a Clean and Healthy Community is an educational book for Primary 4–6 learners that teaches children how to care for their homes, schools and communities. The book begins by helping children understand what a community is and why everyone has a responsibility to care for it. It then introduces proper waste management, protection of water sources, the importance of trees, teamwork and children's leadership. Through simple explanations, stories, activities and discussion questions, learners are encouraged to move from simply learning about environmental problems to taking positive action.
=== Expected Outcome ===
The book will encourage children to practice good hygiene, protect the environment, work together and take responsibility for creating cleaner, safer and healthier communities.
=== Conclusion ===
The book will remind young readers that everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment and that '''small actions can make a big difference'''.
== '''Introduction:''' ==
Our environment is our home. We live, learn, play and grow in it. Keeping it clean and healthy helps us stay safe and happy.
This book teaches young readers simple ways to care for their homes, schools and communities. Through short stories, activities and questions, children will learn about rubbish, clean water, trees, teamwork and responsibility.
Remember, '''small actions can make a big difference!'''
== Chapter 1: Our Community, Our Responsibility ==
=== Understanding a community ===
While we traditionally think of a community as the people in a given geographical location, the word can really refer to any group sharing something in common -- '''place''' (such as a city, neighborhood, or school district), '''experience''' (such as shared experience of racism), or '''interest''' (e.g., a community's concern about poverty or violence prevention).
These various communities often overlap. A Black art teacher, for example, might see herself (or be seen by others) as a member of the Black, arts, and/or education communities, as well as of a particular faith community. Whichever community defines your work, you will want to get to know it well. Examples of communities include homes, schools, villages and neighborhoods.
People in a community share places and resources. They should help one another and work together to solve problems.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Community shared resources: Connecting the Dots: The Impact of Shared Resources in Local Communities |url=https://fastercapital.com/content/Community-shared-resources--Connecting-the-Dots--The-Impact-of-Shared-Resources-in-Local-Communities.html |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=FasterCapital |language=en}}</ref>
=== What do we mean by understanding and describing the community? ===
Understanding the community entails understanding it in a number of ways. Whether or not the community is defined geographically, it still has a geographic context -- a setting that it exists in. Getting a clear sense of this setting may be key to a full understanding of it. At the same time, it's important to understand the specific community you're concerned with. You have to get to know its people -- their culture, their concerns, and relationships -- and to develop your own relationships with them as well.
* ''Physical aspects''. Every community has a physical presence of some sort, even if only one building. Most have a geographic area or areas they are either defined by or attached to. It's important to know the community's size and the look and feel of its buildings, its topography (the lay of the land -- the hills, valleys, rivers, roads, and other features you'd find on a map), and each of its neighborhoods. Also important are how various areas of the community differ from one another, and whether your impression is one of clean, well-maintained houses and streets, or one of shabbiness, dirt, and neglect. If the community is one defined by its population, then its physical properties are also defined by the population: where they live, where they gather, the places that are important to them. The characteristics of those places can tell you a great deal about the people who make up the community. Their self-image, many of their attitudes, and their aspirations are often reflected in the places where they choose -- or are forced by circumstance or discrimination -- to live, work, gather, and play.
* ''Infrastructure''. Roads, bridges, transportation (local public transportation, airports, train lines), electricity, landline and mobile telephone service, broadband service, and similar "basics" make up the infrastructure of the community, without which it couldn't function.
* ''Patterns of settlement, commerce, and industry''. Where are those physical spaces we've been discussing? Communities reveal their character by where and how they create living and working spaces. Where there are areas with severely inadequate housing and limited services -- substandard housing in areas with few or no services that are the only options for people with lower incomes -- the value the larger community places on those residents seems clear. Are heavy industries located next to residential neighborhoods? If so, who lives in those neighborhoods? Are some parts of the community dangerous, either because of high crime and violence or because of unsafe conditions in the built or natural environment?
* ''Demographics''. It's vital to understand who makes up the community. Age, gender, race and ethnicity, marital status, education, number of people in household, first language -- these and other statistics make up the demographic profile of the population. When you put them together (e.g., the education level of black women ages 18-24), it gives you a clear picture of who community residents are.
* ''History''. The long-term history of the community can tell you about community traditions, what the community is, or has been, proud of, and what residents would prefer not to talk about. Recent history can afford valuable information about conflicts and factions within the community, important issues, past and current relationships among key people and groups -- many of the factors that can trip up any effort before it starts if you don't know about and address them.
* ''Community leaders, formal and informal''. Some community leaders are elected or appointed -- mayors, city councilors, directors of public works. Others are considered leaders because of their activities or their positions in the community -- community activists, corporate CEO's, college presidents, doctors, clergy. Still others are recognized as leaders because, they are trusted for their proven integrity, courage, and/or care for others and the good of the community.
* ''Community culture, formal and informal''. This covers the spoken and unspoken rules and traditions by which the community lives. It can include everything from community events and slogans -- the blessing of the fishing fleet, the "Artichoke Capital of the World" -- to norms of behavior -- turning a blind eye to alcohol use disorder or domestic violence -- to patterns of discrimination and exercise of power. Understanding the culture and how it developed can be crucial, especially if that's what you're attempting to change.
* ''Existing groups''. Most communities have an array of groups and organizations of different kinds -- service clubs (Lions, Rotary, etc.), faith groups, youth organizations, sports teams and clubs, groups formed around shared interests, the boards of community-wide organizations (the YMCA, the Rotary Club), as well as groups devoted to self-help, advocacy, and activism. Knowing of the existence and importance of each of these groups can pave the way for alliances or for understanding opposition.
* ''Existing institutions''. Every community has institutions that are important to it, and that have more or less credibility with residents. Colleges and universities, libraries, religious institutions, hospitals -- all of these and many others can occupy important places in the community. It's important to know what they are, who represents them, and what influence they wield.
* ''Economics''. Who are the major employers in the community? What, if any, business or industry is the community's base? Who, if anyone, exercises economic power? How is wealth distributed? Would you characterize the community as poor, working, class, middle class, or affluent? What are the economic prospects of the population in general and/or the population you're concerned with?
* ''Government/Politics''. Understanding the structure of community government is obviously important. Some communities may have strong mayors and weak city councils, others the opposite. Still other communities may have no mayor at all, but only a town manager, or may have a different form of government entirely. Whatever the government structure, where does political power lie? Understanding where the real power is can be the difference between a successful effort and a vain one.
* ''Social structure''. Many aspects of social structure are integrated into other areas -- relationships, politics, economics -- but there are also the questions of how people in the community relate to one another on a daily basis, how problems are (or aren't) resolved, who socializes or does business with whom, etc. This area also includes perceptions and symbols of status and respect, and whether status carries entitlement or responsibility (or both).
* ''Attitudes and values''. Again, much of this area may be covered by investigation into others, particularly culture. What does the community care about, and what does it ignore? What are residents' assumptions about the proper way to behave, to dress, to do business, to treat others? Is there widely accepted discrimination against one or more groups by the majority or by those in power? What are the norms for interaction among those who with different opinions or different backgrounds?
'''We'll discuss all of these aspects of community in greater detail later in the section.'''<blockquote>There are obviously many more aspects of community that can be explored, such as health or education. The assumption here is that as part of an assessment, you'll aim for a general understanding of the community, as described in this section, and also assess, with a narrower focus, the specific aspects you're interested in.</blockquote>Once you've explored the relevant areas of the community, you'll have the information to create a community description. Depending on your needs and information, this description might be anything from a two-or three-page outline to an in-depth portrait of the community that extends to tens of pages and includes charts, graphs, photographs, and other elements. The point of doing it is to have a picture of the community at a particular point in time that you can use to provide a context for your community assessment and to see the results of whatever actions you take to bring about change.<blockquote>A community description can be as creative as you're capable of making it. It can be written as a story, can incorporate photos and commentary from community residents, can be done online and include audio and video, etc. The more interesting the description is, the more people are likely to actually read it.</blockquote>

Our surroundings or environment is the natural world around you the air, water, land, plants, and animals. Everything in nature is part of your environment. You share this environment with people, animals, and plants in your community.
=== '''How you can care for your surroundings''' ===
=== Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle ===
You can follow the three-R rule every day. '''Reduce''' means using less so you make less waste. '''Reuse''' means using something again instead of throwing it away. '''Recycle''' means turning old materials into new ones.
For example, you can use a reusable lunch bag and water bottle at school. You can decorate an old jar and use it as a pencil holder. You can put paper and plastic bottles in the recycling bin.
=== Sorting Your Waste ===
You sort your waste by putting it in the right bin. Banana peels go in the '''compost bin'''. A plastic bottle goes in the '''recycling bin'''. A broken toy that cannot be fixed goes in the '''garbage bin'''. Sorting waste properly helps protect the environment.
=== Composting ===
Composting means collecting food waste like; banana peels, left overs and vegetable cuttings. These wastes break down and turn into rich soil for gardens.
=== Saving Water and Energy ===
You can save water by turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. You can save electricity by turning off lights when you leave a room. These small actions help protect natural resources every single day.
=== Planting Trees and Native Plants ===
Trees clean the air and give animals a home. Planting flowers and native plants in your garden helps birds, bees, and butterflies find food and shelter. This supports the wildlife in your neighborhood. Additionally, you can help by; Cleaning our homes, classrooms and playgrounds, and Keeping water sources clean.
* Avoiding damage to public property.
* Helping people who need support.
=== Children's Responsibilities ===
Children have an important role in caring for their communities. They can help by setting a good example and encouraging others to behave responsibly.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-05 |title=Empowering Kids to Make a Big Impact in Their Communities |url=https://sesameworkshop.org/resources/empowering-kids-to-make-a-big-impact-in-their-communities/ |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=Sesame Workshop |language=en-US}}</ref> Children should respect others, avoid littering and report dangerous or dirty places to trusted adults.
=== Short Story: The Rubbish Behind the Library ===
Some pupils noticed rubbish behind their school library. They decided to clean the area with the help of their teacher. They collected the rubbish, placed it in bins and planted flowers near the library.
The area became clean and beautiful. Other pupils followed their example.
'''Lesson:''' Everyone can help to improve the community.
=== Activity and Discussion ===
# What is a community?
# Name three ways of keeping your school clean.
# Why should children care for their surroundings?
# Organize a small classroom cleaning activity.
== Chapter 2: Types of Waste and Every Piece of Rubbish Has a Place ==
=== Introduction ===
Every day, people produce waste. We throw away food scraps, plastic bottles, paper, cans, old clothes, broken equipment, and many other things. Waste is a normal part of human life, but the way we handle it determines whether it becomes a danger or a useful resource.
Waste that is thrown anywhere can make our surroundings dirty, block drainage channels, pollute water, attract pests, and spread disease. However, when waste is '''sorted, reused, recycled, treated, or disposed of correctly''', it can be managed safely.
This chapter explains the main '''types of waste''' and introduces an important idea: '''every piece of rubbish has a proper place'''.
This chapter explains the main '''types of waste''' and introduces an important idea: '''every piece of rubbish has a proper place'''.
----
=== 1. What Is Waste? ===
'''Waste''' is any material, substance, or object that a person no longer wants or needs and decides to discard.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is waste? – KS2 Science curriculum |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z2rhcj6 |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=BBC Bitesize |language=en-GB}}</ref>
Examples include:
* Banana peels
* Plastic bottles
* Newspapers
* Empty tins
* Broken glass
* Old batteries
* Used clothes
* Food leftovers
* Broken electronic devices
Not all waste is the same. Different materials have different effects on the environment and require different methods of handling.
----
=== 2. Types of Waste ===
Waste can be classified in several ways. The most common classification is according to its '''nature and source'''.
==== A. Biodegradable Waste ====
'''Biodegradable waste''' is waste that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
Examples include:
* Fruit and vegetable peels
* Food leftovers
* Leaves
* Grass
* Animal manure
* Paper and some untreated natural materials
Biodegradable waste can often be turned into '''compost''', which is useful for improving soil.
=== Example ===
Instead of throwing banana peels into a general rubbish pile, they can be collected with other organic materials and composted.
'''Remember:'''
'''Biodegradable = can naturally break down.'''
----
==== B. Non-Biodegradable Waste ====
'''Non-biodegradable waste''' does not break down easily through natural processes, or it may take a very long time to do so.
Examples include:
* Plastic bags
* Plastic bottles
* Glass
* Some metals
* Synthetic materials
Some non-biodegradable materials can be '''reused or recycled''' rather than thrown away.
=== Why is it a problem? ===
When non-biodegradable waste is poorly managed, it can remain in the environment for long periods and contribute to land and water pollution.
'''Remember:'''
'''Non-biodegradable = does not easily break down naturally.'''
----
=== 3. Recyclable Waste ===
'''Recyclable waste''' consists of materials that can be collected and processed into new products.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gabriel |first=Mr |date=2024-09-12 |title=How to Dispose Waste Properly: A Guide to Proper Waste Management |url=https://whatisgreenliving.com/how-to-dispose-waste-properly/ |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=What is Green Living? |language=en-GB}}</ref>
Common recyclable materials include:
* Paper
* Cardboard
* Certain plastics
* Aluminium cans
* Steel cans
* Glass bottles and containers
For recycling to work effectively, materials should be '''sorted and kept reasonably clean'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Topic 2 Reusing in daily life – CICLO |url=https://ciclo-project.eu/topic/topic-2-reusing-in-daily-life/ |access-date=2026-09-14 |language=en-GB}}</ref>
=== Example ===
An empty metal drink can can be collected, processed, and used to make new metal products instead of being sent directly to a landfill.
----
=== 4. Hazardous Waste ===
'''Hazardous waste''' is waste that can cause harm to people, animals, or the environment if it is handled or disposed of incorrectly.
Examples include:
* Used batteries
* Certain chemicals
* Pesticide containers
* Some paints and solvents
* Medical sharps
* Some electronic waste
* Certain cleaning products
Hazardous waste should '''not simply be mixed with ordinary household rubbish'''.
It may require special collection, treatment, or disposal.
==== Safety rule ====
Never play with, burn, open, or pour unknown chemicals or hazardous waste into drains, rivers, or onto the ground.
----
=== 5. Electronic Waste ===
'''Electronic waste''', commonly called '''e-waste''', includes unwanted electrical and electronic equipment.
Examples include:
* Old mobile phones
* Computers
* Televisions
* Radios
* Chargers
* Keyboards
* Printers
* Broken appliances
Electronic devices contain valuable materials that can sometimes be recovered and reused. They may also contain substances that require careful handling.
Therefore, unwanted electronics should be taken to appropriate collection or recycling facilities where available.
----
=== 6. Medical Waste ===
'''Medical waste''' is waste produced during healthcare activities.
Examples include:
* Used syringes
* Needles
* Bandages
* Gloves
* Contaminated dressings
* Certain medicines and medical materials
Medical waste can pose health risks if it is not properly handled.
For example, '''used needles should never be placed loosely into ordinary rubbish''', because they can injure people and potentially transmit infection.
Healthcare facilities use special containers and procedures for managing such waste.
----
=== 7. Construction and Demolition Waste ===
Construction activities produce waste such as:
* Broken bricks
* Concrete
* Soil
* Wood
* Roofing materials
* Scrap metal
* Tiles
Some of these materials can be reused in construction or recycled.
Good construction waste management reduces unnecessary dumping and saves useful materials.
----
=== 8. Liquid Waste ===
'''Liquid waste''' is waste in liquid form.
Examples include:
* Wastewater
* Used cooking oil
* Certain industrial liquids
* Sewage
* Some chemical liquids
Liquid waste must be managed carefully because it can easily enter soil, drains, streams, lakes, and groundwater.
'''Never pour hazardous liquids into a river, open drain, or onto bare soil.'''
----
=== 9. Gaseous Waste ===
Some human activities release waste substances into the air in the form of gases or particles.
Sources can include:
* Vehicle exhaust
* Industrial processes
* Burning waste
* Certain fuel-burning appliances
Poor management of air pollutants can contribute to poor air quality and environmental damage.
This is one reason '''open burning of rubbish is generally a poor waste-management practice''', especially when plastics and other materials are burned.
----
=== 10. Every Piece of Rubbish Has a Place ===
The statement '''“Every piece of rubbish has a place”''' teaches us that waste should not be thrown carelessly. Different kinds of waste should go to appropriate destinations.
A simple waste-sorting system can look like this:
{| class="wikitable"
!Type of waste
!Examples
!Suitable action
|-
|Organic waste
|Food scraps, leaves
|Composting
|-
|Paper/cardboard
|Newspapers, boxes
|Reuse or recycle
|-
|Plastics
|Bottles, containers
|Reuse or recycle where facilities exist
|-
|Glass
|Bottles, jars
|Reuse or recycle
|-
|Metals
|Cans, scrap metal
|Recycle
|-
|E-waste
|Phones, computers
|Special collection/recycling
|-
|Hazardous waste
|Batteries, chemicals
|Special handling
|-
|Medical waste
|Needles, contaminated materials
|Approved medical-waste system
|-
|General residual waste
|Materials that cannot be recovered
|Appropriate final disposal
|}
The exact collection system differs from one community to another, so people should follow the waste-sorting rules used by their local authority or waste-collection service.
----
=== 11. The Waste Hierarchy ===
Good waste management does not begin with throwing things away. It follows a hierarchy that encourages people to prevent waste first.
==== 1. Refuse ====
Avoid unnecessary items when possible.
'''Example:''' Refuse unnecessary single-use packaging.
==== 2. Reduce ====
Use fewer resources and produce less waste.
'''Example:''' Buy only the food you are likely to use.
===== 3. Reuse =====
Use an item again instead of throwing it away.
'''Example:''' Use a durable shopping bag repeatedly.
===== 4. Repair =====
Fix broken items when practical.
'''Example:''' Repair a chair rather than immediately replacing it.
===== 5. Recycle =====
Process suitable materials into new products.
'''Example:''' Recycle suitable paper, metal, glass, and plastics.
===== 6. Recover =====
Recover useful materials or energy from waste through appropriate processes.
===== 7. Dispose =====
Waste that cannot reasonably be reused, recycled, or recovered should be disposed of safely.
'''The key lesson is: disposal should not be our first choice.'''
----
=== 12. Why Proper Waste Management Matters ===
Proper waste management has many benefits.
==== Protects human health ====
Accumulated rubbish can attract flies, rats, and other pests. Poorly managed waste can also create opportunities for disease transmission.
==== Protects water ====
Waste dumped into waterways can contaminate rivers, lakes, and other sources of water.
==== Protects soil ====
Chemicals and other harmful substances can contaminate soil when waste is poorly disposed of.
==== Keeps communities clean ====
Clean streets, schools, homes, and public spaces are safer and more pleasant.
==== Saves resources ====
Recycling and reuse allow valuable materials to remain in use rather than constantly requiring new raw materials.
==== Reduces pollution ====
Sorting and treating waste properly can reduce pollution caused by dumping and inappropriate burning.
----
=== 13. Waste Management at Home and School ===
Everyone can contribute to better waste management.
==== At home ====
* Keep rubbish in suitable containers.
* Separate organic waste from recyclable materials where possible.
* Compost suitable organic waste.
* Reuse containers and bags.
* Avoid unnecessary single-use products.
* Keep hazardous materials separate.
* Never dump rubbish in drainage channels or waterways.
==== At school ====
Schools can:
* Provide clearly labelled waste bins.
* Teach learners about waste separation.
* Organise clean-up activities.
* Encourage reusable water bottles.
* Collect paper for recycling where facilities exist.
* Compost suitable food and garden waste.
* Ensure sharp or hazardous materials are handled safely.
----
=== 14. A Simple Waste-Sorting Activity ===
Imagine that you have the following items:
# Banana peel
# Plastic water bottle
# Newspaper
# Broken battery
# Glass bottle
# Old mobile phone
# Food leftovers
# Used needle
How should they be handled?
* '''Banana peel →''' organic waste/compost
* '''Plastic bottle →''' reuse or appropriate plastic recycling
* '''Newspaper →''' reuse or paper recycling
* '''Battery →''' special battery/e-waste collection
* '''Glass bottle →''' reuse or glass recycling
* '''Old mobile phone →''' e-waste collection/recycling
* '''Food leftovers →''' composting where appropriate
* '''Used needle →''' approved sharps/medical-waste disposal
This demonstrates why '''sorting waste at the point where it is produced''' is so important.
----
=== 15. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Waste:''' Material that is discarded because it is no longer wanted or needed.
'''Biodegradable:''' Able to break down naturally through biological processes.
'''Non-biodegradable:''' Not easily broken down naturally.
'''Recycle:''' Process used materials so they can be made into new products.
'''Reuse:''' Use an item again instead of discarding it.
'''Compost:''' Decomposed organic material that can be used to improve soil.
'''Hazardous waste:''' Waste that can pose a danger to people or the environment.
'''E-waste:''' Discarded electrical and electronic equipment.
=== Short Story: Amina's Big Idea ===
Amina saw many plastic bottles around her school. She suggested collecting the bottles and using some of them to make flower containers.
Her classmates helped her. Soon, the school had fewer bottles on the ground and more beautiful flowers.
'''Lesson:''' Waste materials can sometimes be reused in useful ways.
=== Practical Activity ===
Collect safe reusable materials and make a useful object, such as a flowerpot, pencil holder or decoration.
== Chapter 3: Water Is Life ==
=== Introduction ===
Water is one of the most important resources on Earth. Every living thing needs water to survive. People, animals, and plants all depend on water for life and growth.
We use water every day for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, cleaning, farming, and many other activities. Water is also important in industries, transport, energy production, and recreation.
Because water is essential for life, we must use it wisely, protect it from pollution, and make sure that everyone has access to safe water.
----
=== 1. What Is Water? ===
Water is a natural substance made up of hydrogen and oxygen. In its pure form, it has no colour, smell, or taste.
Water exists in three main states:
* '''Liquid''' – such as water in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
* '''Solid''' – such as ice and snow.
* '''Gas''' – water vapour found in the atmosphere.
Water constantly moves between these states through the '''water cycle'''.
----
=== 2. Sources of Water ===
Water comes from different natural sources.
==== A. Rainwater ====
Rain is an important source of fresh water. Rainwater fills rivers, lakes, wetlands, and reservoirs and also helps to replenish groundwater.
People can collect rainwater from rooftops and store it in tanks for appropriate household or other uses.
==== B. Rivers and Streams ====
Rivers and streams provide water for domestic use, agriculture, livestock, industry, and ecosystems.
However, water from rivers may contain microorganisms, chemicals, or other contaminants. It may therefore require appropriate treatment before it is safe to drink.
==== C. Lakes ====
Lakes contain large amounts of water and support people, plants, animals, and economic activities.
Lakes can provide water for communities, fishing, agriculture, transport, and recreation.
==== D. Groundwater ====
Groundwater is water stored beneath the Earth's surface in soil and rock.
It can be accessed through:
* Wells
* Boreholes
* Springs
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water in many communities.
==== E. Wetlands ====
Wetlands are areas where water covers or saturates the land for part or all of the year.
They provide important environmental services, including storing water, supporting wildlife, and helping to filter pollutants.
----
=== 3. Why Water Is Life ===
Water is essential for almost every activity that supports life.
==== A. Water for Drinking ====
The human body needs water to function properly. People lose water through activities such as breathing, sweating, and urination, so they need to replace it regularly.
Safe drinking water is important for maintaining good health.
==== B. Water for Food Production ====
Farmers need water to grow crops and keep animals healthy.
Water is used for:
* Irrigation
* Watering livestock
* Cleaning agricultural equipment
* Processing some agricultural products
Without sufficient water, food production can be seriously affected.
==== C. Water for Plants ====
Plants need water for growth and survival. Water helps plants transport nutrients and supports photosynthesis.
Without enough water, plants may wilt, stop growing, or die.
==== D. Water for Animals ====
Animals need water for drinking and other biological processes. Rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other water bodies also provide habitats for many animals.
==== E. Water for Hygiene and Sanitation ====
Water is essential for:
* Washing hands
* Bathing
* Cleaning homes
* Washing clothes
* Cleaning utensils
* Flushing toilets
Good hygiene and sanitation help protect communities from disease.
==== F. Water in Industry ====
Industries use water for many purposes, including:
* Manufacturing
* Cooling machinery
* Cleaning
* Food processing
* Producing certain goods
Industries must manage water responsibly and prevent harmful substances from entering water sources.
----
=== 4. The Water Cycle ===
Water does not simply disappear after it is used. It moves continuously through the environment in a process called the '''water cycle'''.
The main stages include:
==== 1. Evaporation ====
Heat from the Sun causes water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other surfaces to change into water vapour.
==== 2. Transpiration ====
Plants release water vapour into the atmosphere through tiny openings in their leaves.
==== 3. Condensation ====
Water vapour rises, cools, and forms tiny droplets that make clouds.
==== 4. Precipitation ====
When water droplets become sufficiently large, they fall to Earth as:
* Rain
* Snow
* Sleet
* Hail
==== 5. Collection and Infiltration ====
Water collects in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other water bodies. Some water also soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater.
The cycle then continues.
----
=== 5. Clean Water and Polluted Water ===
Not all water is safe to drink.
'''Clean and safe water''' is water that does not contain harmful levels of microorganisms, chemicals, or other contaminants.
'''Polluted water''' contains substances that can harm people, animals, plants, or ecosystems.
Water pollution can come from many sources.
=== Examples include: ===
* Sewage
* Plastic waste
* Oil
* Industrial chemicals
* Agricultural chemicals
* Animal waste
* Household waste
* Soil and sediment
----
=== 6. Effects of Water Pollution ===
Water pollution can have serious consequences.
==== A. Human Health ====
Contaminated water can contribute to diseases and other health problems, particularly where sanitation and water treatment are inadequate.
==== B. Aquatic Life ====
Pollution can harm fish, insects, plants, amphibians, and other organisms living in water.
==== C. Food Production ====
Polluted water used for agriculture can affect crops, livestock, and food safety.
==== D. The Environment ====
Pollution can damage aquatic ecosystems and reduce the quality of habitats.
==== E. Economic Activities ====
Fishing, tourism, agriculture, and other activities can suffer when water resources become polluted.
----
=== 7. How We Can Protect Water ===
Everyone has a role to play in protecting water resources.
==== At Home ====
* Do not throw rubbish into drains, rivers, or lakes.
* Repair leaking taps and pipes.
* Use only the water you need.
* Avoid wasting water while washing.
* Dispose of chemicals and oils appropriately.
* Keep toilets and sanitation facilities clean.
==== At School ====
Students can:
* Turn off taps after use.
* Report leaking taps and pipes.
* Keep school compounds free from litter.
* Avoid throwing rubbish into drainage channels.
* Participate in water-conservation activities.
* Teach others about the importance of water.
==== In the Community ====
Communities can:
* Protect wells, springs, rivers, and wetlands.
* Prevent dumping near water sources.
* Plant and protect vegetation where appropriate.
* Maintain drainage and sanitation systems.
* Encourage responsible water use.
* Support safe water and sanitation projects.
----
=== 8. Water Conservation ===
'''Water conservation''' means using water carefully and avoiding unnecessary waste.
Simple actions can save large amounts of water.
=== Examples ===
Instead of leaving a tap running while brushing your teeth, turn it off when water is not needed.
When washing clothes or dishes, use a reasonable amount of water rather than allowing water to run continuously.
Leaking taps and pipes should be repaired because a small leak can waste water over time.
Rainwater can also be collected and used for suitable purposes.
----
=== 9. The Importance of Wetlands and Forests ===
Natural ecosystems help protect water resources.
==== Wetlands ====
Wetlands can store water, provide habitats, and help remove some pollutants from water.
==== Forests and Vegetation ====
Vegetation helps protect soil and can reduce erosion and surface runoff. Vegetated areas around water bodies can therefore contribute to the protection of water quality.
Destroying wetlands and removing vegetation carelessly can increase environmental problems such as erosion, flooding, and water pollution.
----
=== 10. Safe Drinking Water ===
Water intended for drinking should be obtained from a safe source and, where necessary, treated appropriately.
Methods of treating water may include:
* Boiling
* Filtration
* Chlorination
* Other approved water-treatment methods
The correct treatment method depends on the source and the contaminants that may be present.
Water should also be stored safely in clean, covered containers to reduce the chance of contamination.
----
=== 11. Water and Our Future ===
Fresh water is limited and unevenly distributed. Some communities have reliable access to safe water, while others face shortages or difficulties accessing clean water.
Population growth, pollution, climate variability, changing land use, and increasing demand can place pressure on water resources.
Protecting water today helps ensure that future generations can also benefit from this essential resource.
----
=== 12. Practical Activity: Saving Water ===
==== Activity ====
For one day, observe how water is used at home or school.
Make a list of activities such as:
* Drinking
* Cooking
* Bathing
* Washing hands
* Washing clothes
* Cleaning
* Watering plants
Then identify activities where water may be wasted.
==== Questions ====
# Which activity uses the most water?
# Where is water being wasted?
# How could the waste be reduced?
# What can you do personally to save water?
Discuss your answers with your classmates or family members.
----
=== 13. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Water:''' A natural substance essential for life.
'''Water cycle:''' The continuous movement of water through the environment.
'''Evaporation:''' The change of liquid water into water vapour.
'''Condensation:''' The change of water vapour into liquid droplets.
'''Precipitation:''' Water falling from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
'''Groundwater:''' Water stored beneath the Earth's surface.
'''Water pollution:''' The contamination of water by harmful substances.
'''Water conservation:''' The careful and responsible use of water.
'''Wetland:''' Land that is covered or saturated with water for part or all of the year.
'''Sanitation:''' Systems and practices for safely managing human waste and maintaining hygiene.
----
=== 14. Summary ===
Water is essential for '''people, animals, plants, agriculture, sanitation, industry, and ecosystems'''. It comes from sources such as rain, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and wetlands.
Water moves continuously through the '''water cycle''', but clean and accessible freshwater is a valuable resource that must be protected.
Pollution, waste, careless use, and damage to natural ecosystems can threaten water resources. We can help by '''saving water, preventing pollution, protecting water sources, practising good sanitation, and using water responsibly'''.
The most important lesson is simple:<blockquote>'''Water is life. Protect every drop.'''</blockquote>
==== Short Story: The Dirty Stream ====
Children in a village noticed that their stream was becoming dirty. Some people were throwing rubbish into it.
The children spoke to their teacher and community leaders. Together, they organised a clean-up and encouraged people to stop dumping rubbish in the stream.
'''Lesson:''' Protecting water requires teamwork and responsible behavior.
==== Water-Protection Challenge ====
For one week:
* Close taps properly after use.
* Use only the water you need.
* Keep water containers clean.
* Encourage others not to pollute water sources.
== Chapter 4: Trees ==
=== Introduction ===
Trees are among the most useful living things on Earth. They grow in forests, gardens, farms, school compounds, along roads, and around our homes. Trees provide food, shelter, shade, materials, and many other benefits.
Trees also help protect the environment. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release oxygen through photosynthesis, help protect soil from erosion, and provide habitats for many animals.
For these reasons, trees can truly be described as '''our friends'''. However, trees need care and protection so that they can continue benefiting people and the environment.
----
=== 1. What Is a Tree? ===
A tree is a large plant with a woody stem or trunk, branches, leaves, and roots.
The main parts of a tree include:
* '''Roots''' – anchor the tree in the soil and absorb water and minerals.
* '''Trunk''' – supports the tree and transports water and nutrients.
* '''Branches''' – hold the leaves, flowers, and fruits.
* '''Leaves''' – make food for the tree through photosynthesis.
* '''Flowers''' – help many trees reproduce.
* '''Fruits and seeds''' – help produce new trees.
Trees vary greatly in size, shape, and appearance.
----
=== 2. Trees Give Us Oxygen ===
Trees and other green plants carry out '''photosynthesis'''.
During photosynthesis, plants use:
* Sunlight
* Water
* Carbon dioxide
to produce food, while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
Oxygen is needed by humans and many animals for respiration.
Trees therefore play an important role in maintaining the gases that support life.
----
=== 3. Trees Give Us Food ===
Many trees provide food for people and animals.
Examples include:
* Mango trees
* Avocado trees
* Orange trees
* Jackfruit trees
* Banana plants
* Coconut palms
Trees can provide fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves, and other edible products.
Animals also depend on trees for food.
----
=== 4. Trees Provide Shade ===
Trees provide shade from strong sunlight.
People can sit under trees to rest, study, talk, or relax. Trees around homes, schools, parks, and public spaces can make these places more comfortable.
Shade from trees can also help reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching buildings and the ground.
----
=== 5. Trees Provide Homes for Animals ===
Trees are important habitats for many living organisms.
Birds may build nests in branches. Insects may live on leaves and bark. Monkeys, squirrels, reptiles, and other animals may use trees for shelter, food, or movement.
A large tree can therefore support many different forms of life.
When trees are destroyed, animals can lose their homes and sources of food.
----
=== 6. Trees Protect the Soil ===
Tree roots hold soil together.
When heavy rain falls on bare soil, it can wash soil away. This process is called '''soil erosion'''.
Trees can help reduce erosion because:
* Their roots hold soil together.
* Their leaves and branches reduce the force of falling rain.
* Fallen leaves cover the soil.
* Tree-covered land can slow surface runoff.
Protecting trees is therefore one way of helping to protect soil.
----
=== 7. Trees Help Protect Water ===
Trees and other vegetation play an important role in the water cycle.
Their roots help water enter and move through the soil. Vegetation can also reduce soil erosion and the amount of sediment carried into rivers and lakes.
Trees growing near water bodies can therefore contribute to the protection of water resources.
----
=== 8. Trees Help Fight Climate Change ===
Trees absorb '''carbon dioxide''', a greenhouse gas, as they grow.
Through photosynthesis, trees use carbon dioxide to make food. Some of the carbon becomes stored in the tree's wood, roots, and other parts.
Forests and other ecosystems therefore store significant amounts of carbon.
Protecting existing forests and planting appropriate trees can contribute to efforts to address climate change, although trees are only one part of the solution.
----
=== 9. Trees Provide Materials ===
Trees provide materials that people use in everyday life.
Wood can be used to make:
* Furniture
* Doors
* Houses
* Poles
* Tools
* Paper products
Some trees also provide materials such as:
* Rubber
* Cork
* Resins
* Fibres
* Oils
These materials support many livelihoods and industries.
However, trees should be harvested responsibly, and forests should be managed sustainably.
----
=== 10. Trees Provide Medicine ===
Some trees contain substances that have been used traditionally or scientifically in medicines and other health-related products.
Examples of trees associated with traditional or medicinal uses include:
* Neem
* Eucalyptus
* Cinchona
* Some species of acacia
Medicinal plants should be used carefully. Traditional knowledge does not automatically mean that a plant is safe or effective for every medical condition.
----
=== 11. Trees Improve the Environment ===
Trees contribute to healthier surroundings in several ways.
They can:
* Provide habitats for wildlife.
* Help reduce soil erosion.
* Store carbon.
* Provide shade.
* Improve the appearance of landscapes.
* Reduce wind speeds in some areas.
* Contribute to cleaner and cooler local environments.
Trees in towns and cities can be especially valuable because they provide shade and green spaces among buildings and roads.
----
=== 12. Trees and the Air We Breathe ===
Trees interact with the atmosphere in important ways.
Their leaves absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen. Trees can also trap some airborne particles on their leaves.
However, trees do not remove all air pollution, and planting the right species in appropriate locations is important.
----
=== 13. Why People Cut Down Trees ===
People cut down trees for different reasons.
These include:
* Getting firewood
* Producing charcoal
* Obtaining timber
* Clearing land for farming
* Building houses and roads
* Producing paper and other products
Some tree harvesting is necessary for human needs. The problem arises when trees are removed '''faster than they can naturally or deliberately be replaced'''.
This can lead to '''deforestation'''.
----
=== 14. Effects of Deforestation ===
'''Deforestation''' is the large-scale removal of forests or trees from an area.
Deforestation can result in:
* Loss of wildlife habitats
* Increased soil erosion
* Loss of biodiversity
* Reduced carbon storage
* Changes in local water cycles
* Loss of valuable forest resources
When forests are cleared without proper management, the environmental and social consequences can be serious.
----
=== 15. How We Can Protect Trees ===
Everyone can help protect trees.
==== At Home ====
* Plant suitable trees.
* Avoid unnecessary cutting of trees.
* Use wood and paper responsibly.
* Protect young trees from damage.
* Compost suitable organic waste and return nutrients to the soil where appropriate.
==== At School ====
Students can:
* Plant and care for trees.
* Avoid damaging tree trunks and branches.
* Keep school gardens clean.
* Water young trees when necessary.
* Learn about local tree species.
* Organise tree-care activities.
==== In the Community ====
Communities can:
* Protect forests and woodlands.
* Plant appropriate native or well-adapted species.
* Prevent uncontrolled cutting.
* Encourage sustainable forestry.
* Protect trees along rivers and other sensitive areas.
* Educate people about the value of trees.
----
=== 16. Planting a Tree ===
Planting a tree is useful, but simply putting a seedling in the ground is not enough. The tree must be cared for.
==== Basic steps ====
# '''Choose a suitable species''' for the local environment.
# '''Choose an appropriate location''' with enough space for the mature tree.
# '''Prepare the soil''' and dig a suitable planting hole.
# '''Plant the seedling carefully.'''
# '''Water it when necessary''', especially during dry periods.
# '''Protect it from animals and damage.'''
# '''Remove competing weeds when appropriate.'''
# '''Continue caring for the tree as it grows.'''
A healthy mature tree may take many years to develop, so tree planting requires patience.
----
=== 17. Trees and Responsibility ===
Trees belong to a wider ecosystem. When we care for them, we are also helping many other organisms.
We should remember:<blockquote>'''Plant a tree, care for a tree, and protect a tree.'''</blockquote>Planting trees is important, but '''protecting existing mature trees is also very valuable''' because mature trees already provide established habitat, shade, and carbon storage.
----
=== 18. Practical Activity: Adopt a Tree ===
Choose a tree at your school or home.
Observe it regularly and record:
* Its height or approximate size
* The shape of its leaves
* Whether it has flowers or fruits
* Animals or insects found on it
* Changes you observe over several weeks
Give the tree a name if you wish and create a simple care schedule.
=== Questions ===
# What type of tree did you observe?
# What benefits does it provide?
# Which animals use it?
# How can you protect it?
# What changes did you observe over time?
----
=== 19. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Tree:''' A large woody plant with a trunk, branches, leaves, and roots.
'''Photosynthesis:''' The process by which green plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food and release oxygen.
'''Habitat:''' The natural home or environment of a plant or animal.
'''Deforestation:''' The large-scale removal of forests or trees.
'''Soil erosion:''' The removal of soil by agents such as water or wind.
'''Biodiversity:''' The variety of living organisms in an area or on Earth.
'''Forest:''' A large area dominated by trees and associated plants and animals.
'''Sustainable:''' Using resources in a way that allows them to remain available for the future.
'''Carbon dioxide:''' A gas in the atmosphere that plants use during photosynthesis and that also contributes to the greenhouse effect.
----
=== 20. Summary ===
Trees are essential parts of our environment. They provide '''food, shade, oxygen, habitats, materials, and protection for soil and water'''. They also absorb carbon dioxide and store carbon.
However, uncontrolled cutting and destruction of forests can cause deforestation, habitat loss, soil erosion, and other environmental problems.
We can protect trees by '''planting appropriate trees, caring for young trees, reducing unnecessary tree cutting, using forest products responsibly, and protecting natural forests'''.
Trees are more than sources of wood and fruit. They are living parts of ecosystems that support people, animals, and the environment..
=== Activity ===
Plant or care for a tree or flower at home or school. Observe it regularly and record how it changes.
== Chapter 5: Plastic Pollution ==
=== Introduction ===
Plastic is one of the most widely used materials in the modern world. We find plastic in bottles, bags, food packaging, toys, containers, clothes, electronics, and many other products.
Plastic is useful because it is light, strong, waterproof, and relatively inexpensive. However, when plastic is used carelessly and discarded improperly, it can become a serious environmental problem.
'''Plastic pollution''' occurs when plastic waste accumulates in places where it can harm people, animals, and the environment.
The good news is that everyone can help reduce plastic pollution by making responsible choices about how we use, reuse, collect, and dispose of plastic.
----
=== 1. What Is Plastic? ===
Plastic is a group of materials made mainly from polymers. Many plastics are produced from fossil-fuel-based raw materials, although some newer plastics are made partly or entirely from other sources.
Plastic can be manufactured into many different shapes and forms.
Examples include:
* Plastic bags
* Bottles
* Food containers
* Packaging
* Pipes
* Toys
* Furniture
* Household equipment
Because plastic can be made into so many useful products, it has become an important material in everyday life.
----
=== 2. What Is Plastic Pollution? ===
'''Plastic pollution''' is the accumulation or presence of plastic waste in the environment in ways that cause harm or create environmental problems.
Plastic waste can be found:
* On streets
* In drainage channels
* In gardens
* On beaches
* In rivers and lakes
* In wetlands
* In forests
* In agricultural areas
* In oceans
Plastic that is thrown on the ground can be carried by wind or rain into drainage systems and waterways.
----
=== 3. Common Sources of Plastic Waste ===
Plastic waste comes from many activities.
==== At Home ====
Households may produce plastic waste from:
* Shopping bags
* Food packaging
* Bottles
* Containers
* Wrappers
* Disposable utensils
==== At School ====
Schools may produce plastic waste from:
* Water bottles
* Snack wrappers
* Packaging
* Plastic stationery
* Disposable food containers
==== In Businesses ====
Shops, restaurants, markets, and industries may generate large amounts of plastic packaging and other plastic waste.
==== In Agriculture ====
Some agricultural activities use plastic materials such as containers, packaging, irrigation components, and other products.
----
=== 4. Why Does Plastic Become a Problem? ===
Plastic itself can be useful. The problem often occurs when it is '''used unnecessarily, discarded carelessly, or poorly managed'''.
Plastic can persist in the environment for long periods. Larger plastic items can break into smaller pieces called '''microplastics''' rather than simply disappearing.
When plastic waste is not collected or managed properly, it can spread through the environment.
----
=== 5. Plastic Pollution and Water ===
Plastic waste can enter rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans.
It may be carried into waterways by:
* Rain
* Floodwater
* Wind
* Poorly managed rubbish
* Drainage systems
Once plastic enters water, it can interfere with aquatic ecosystems and make waterways dirty.
Plastic waste can also block drains and contribute to flooding when drainage systems become obstructed.
----
=== 6. Plastic Pollution and Animals ===
Animals can be harmed by plastic pollution.
Some animals may mistake plastic for food and swallow it. This can cause injury, illness, or blockage of the digestive system.
Animals can also become trapped or entangled in plastic materials such as bags, strings, fishing lines, and other discarded objects.
Keeping plastic waste out of natural habitats helps protect wildlife.
----
=== 7. Microplastics ===
'''Microplastics''' are very small pieces of plastic, generally less than 5 millimetres in size.
They can be produced when larger plastic items break down into smaller pieces. Some microplastics also come directly from products or industrial processes.
Because they are so small, microplastics can be difficult to remove from the environment.
They have been detected in many environmental settings, including water, soil, air, and living organisms.
Scientists continue to study their effects on ecosystems and human health.
----
=== 8. Plastic Pollution and Soil ===
Plastic waste can accumulate on land and become mixed with soil.
This can:
* Make land unattractive and difficult to manage.
* Interfere with farming activities.
* Harm animals that live in or feed from the soil.
* Break down into smaller plastic particles.
* Carry pollutants into the wider environment.
Farmers and communities can help by preventing plastic waste from being dumped on agricultural land.
----
=== 9. Burning Plastic ===
Some people burn plastic waste because they want to get rid of it quickly.
However, '''burning plastic in open fires is not a safe waste-management method'''.
Depending on the type of plastic and how it burns, smoke can contain harmful pollutants and fine particles.
Instead of burning plastic, it is better to:
* Reduce unnecessary plastic use.
* Reuse suitable items.
* Separate recyclable materials.
* Use appropriate waste-collection services.
* Dispose of residual waste through approved systems.
----
=== 10. Plastic Recycling ===
'''Recycling''' involves collecting and processing used materials so that they can become inputs for new products.
Some types of plastic can be recycled.
However, not every plastic item is accepted by every recycling system. Recycling facilities may differ in the types of plastics they can process.
Therefore, people should follow the sorting instructions provided by their local waste-management or recycling service.
----
=== 11. Reuse Before Recycling ===
Recycling is useful, but '''reuse can sometimes be even simpler'''.
For example, a durable container can be used repeatedly instead of being thrown away after one use.
Reusable alternatives may include:
* Shopping bags
* Water bottles
* Food containers
* Cups
* Lunch boxes
The best option depends on the product and how it is used. The important principle is to avoid unnecessary waste.
----
=== 12. How Can We Reduce Plastic Pollution? ===
Everyone can take practical steps.
==== A. Refuse Unnecessary Plastic ====
If you do not need a disposable plastic item, avoid taking it.
==== B. Reduce Plastic Use ====
Choose products with less unnecessary packaging when practical.
==== C. Reuse ====
Use suitable durable products more than once.
==== D. Recycle ====
Separate recyclable plastic according to local collection requirements.
==== E. Dispose Properly ====
Put plastic waste into the correct waste container rather than throwing it on the ground.
==== F. Keep Waterways Clean ====
Never throw plastic into rivers, lakes, wetlands, drainage channels, or other water bodies.
----
=== 13. Plastic Pollution at School ===
Students can help reduce plastic pollution at school.
They can:
* Carry reusable water bottles.
* Avoid unnecessary disposable packaging.
* Use rubbish bins correctly.
* Separate recyclable waste where a recycling system exists.
* Participate in clean-up activities.
* Encourage classmates not to litter.
* Report overflowing rubbish bins to teachers or school administrators.
A clean school environment begins with responsible everyday habits.
----
=== 14. Plastic Pollution in the Community ===
Communities can work together to reduce plastic pollution.
Useful actions include:
* Organising clean-up activities.
* Providing appropriate rubbish bins.
* Supporting waste collection.
* Encouraging reusable shopping bags.
* Educating residents about waste separation.
* Preventing dumping in drainage channels.
* Supporting responsible recycling initiatives.
Businesses can also help by reducing unnecessary packaging and improving the collection and management of plastic waste.
----
=== 15. The Plastic Pollution Solution ===
There is no single solution to plastic pollution.
A successful approach involves several actions:
'''Prevent → Reduce → Reuse → Recycle → Dispose safely'''
This means we should think about waste '''before''' we create it.
For example:<blockquote>Instead of buying a disposable plastic bottle every day, a person may carry a suitable reusable bottle and refill it with safe drinking water.</blockquote>Small changes repeated by many people can make a significant difference.
----
=== 16. Practical Activity: Plastic Audit ===
==== Activity ====
For one day, collect or record the plastic waste produced by your household or class.
Group the items into categories such as:
* Bottles
* Bags
* Wrappers
* Containers
* Other plastic items
Then discuss:
# Which type of plastic waste was most common?
# Which items could have been avoided?
# Which items could be reused?
# Which items could potentially be recycled?
# How could your household or class produce less plastic waste?
Create a '''“Plastic Reduction Plan”''' with three actions that your class can follow for one month.
----
=== 17. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Plastic:''' A group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials made mainly from polymers.
'''Plastic pollution:''' The accumulation or presence of plastic waste in the environment in ways that cause harm or environmental problems.
'''Microplastic:''' A very small plastic particle, generally less than 5 millimetres in size.
'''Recycle:''' To process used materials so they can be used to make new products.
'''Reuse:''' To use an item again instead of throwing it away.
'''Litter:''' Waste that has been carelessly discarded in the environment.
'''Waste management:''' The collection, sorting, treatment, recovery, and safe disposal of waste.
'''Biodegradable:''' Able to break down naturally through biological processes.
----
=== 18. Questions for Discussion ===
# What is plastic pollution?
# Give five examples of plastic items used in your community.
# How can plastic enter rivers and lakes?
# How can plastic harm animals?
# What are microplastics?
# Why is burning plastic in open fires a problem?
# What is the difference between reusing and recycling?
# How can students reduce plastic waste at school?
# Why should plastic not be thrown into drainage channels?
# What three actions can your community take to reduce plastic pollution?
----
=== 19. Summary ===
Plastic is a useful material, but poor management of plastic waste can cause pollution on land and in water.
Plastic waste can block drainage systems, damage habitats, harm animals, and break down into microplastics. Burning plastic in open fires can also release harmful pollutants.
We can reduce plastic pollution by following the principles of:
'''Refuse → Reduce → Reuse → Recycle → Dispose safely'''
Everyone has a role to play. At home, at school, in markets, and throughout our communities, responsible choices can help keep our environment clean.<blockquote>'''Use plastic wisely, keep it out of nature, and give every piece of waste the right place.'''</blockquote>
== Chapter 6: Our Changing World ==
=== Introduction ===
The Earth is our home. It provides us with air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and land on which we live and work. The Earth's climate also affects plants, animals, agriculture, and human activities.
Today, the Earth's climate is changing. '''Climate change''' refers to long-term changes in the average conditions of the Earth's climate, including changes in temperature, rainfall, and weather patterns.
Climate has changed naturally throughout Earth's history. However, human activities have caused a significant increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the current warming of the planet.
Understanding climate change helps us make informed choices about how to protect people, communities, and the natural environment.
----
=== 1. What Is Climate? ===
'''Climate''' is the usual pattern of weather in a particular place over a long period.
Climate includes things such as:
* Temperature
* Rainfall
* Humidity
* Wind
* Seasons
For example, one rainy day tells us about '''weather''', while the typical pattern of rainfall over many years tells us about '''climate'''.
=== Weather and Climate ===
'''Weather:''' What the atmosphere is like over a short period.
'''Climate:''' The long-term pattern of atmospheric conditions.
A simple way to remember this is:<blockquote>'''Weather is what we experience today; climate is the pattern we observe over many years.'''</blockquote>
----
=== 2. What Is Climate Change? ===
'''Climate change''' is a long-term change in the Earth's climate.
It can involve changes in:
* Average temperatures
* Rainfall patterns
* The frequency or intensity of some extreme weather events
* Sea levels
* Glaciers and ice
* Oceans and ecosystems
Climate change is not simply about the Earth becoming warmer every day. Different regions can experience different changes.
----
=== 3. The Greenhouse Effect ===
The Earth's atmosphere contains gases called '''greenhouse gases'''.
Important greenhouse gases include:
* Carbon dioxide
* Methane
* Nitrous oxide
* Water vapour
These gases help keep the Earth warm enough for life. This natural process is called the '''greenhouse effect'''.
Without the natural greenhouse effect, Earth would be much colder.
The problem is that human activities have increased the concentrations of several greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This strengthens the greenhouse effect and causes additional warming.
----
=== 4. Causes of Modern Climate Change ===
Human activities are the main cause of the recent long-term warming of the Earth's climate.
Major sources of greenhouse gas emissions include:
==== A. Burning Fossil Fuels ====
Coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to produce energy for:
* Electricity
* Transport
* Industry
* Heating and cooking
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
==== B. Deforestation ====
Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. When forests are destroyed, this carbon-storage capacity is reduced, and carbon can also be released into the atmosphere.
==== C. Agriculture ====
Agriculture can produce greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide.
Sources include:
* Livestock
* Rice cultivation
* Fertiliser use
* Management of agricultural soils
==== D. Industry ====
Some industrial processes release greenhouse gases directly or use large amounts of fossil-fuel energy.
==== E. Waste ====
Poorly managed waste can produce greenhouse gases. For example, organic waste decomposing without enough oxygen in landfills can generate methane.
----
=== 5. Signs of a Changing Climate ===
Scientists use observations from many parts of the world to study climate change.
Evidence includes:
* Rising global average temperatures
* Warming oceans
* Melting glaciers and ice sheets
* Rising sea levels
* Changes in some ecosystems
* Changes in the timing or distribution of some biological events
These changes occur over long periods, so scientists use measurements collected over many years.
----
=== 6. Climate Change and Water ===
Climate change can affect water resources.
Changes in temperature and rainfall can influence:
* Rivers
* Lakes
* Groundwater
* Soil moisture
* Water availability
Some areas may experience heavier rainfall or flooding, while others may experience longer or more severe dry periods.
Changes in water availability can affect households, agriculture, animals, and ecosystems.
----
=== 7. Climate Change and Agriculture ===
Agriculture depends heavily on climate.
Farmers need suitable:
* Rainfall
* Temperatures
* Soil conditions
* Growing seasons
Climate change can make farming more difficult when rainfall becomes less predictable or temperatures become unsuitable for certain crops.
Farmers can respond through '''adaptation''', such as:
* Planting drought-tolerant crops where appropriate
* Improving water management
* Using soil-conservation methods
* Adjusting planting dates
* Diversifying crops and livelihoods
The best adaptation measures depend on local conditions.
----
=== 8. Climate Change and Animals ===
Animals depend on suitable habitats, food, water, and temperatures.
As climate conditions change, some species may:
* Move to new areas
* Change feeding or breeding patterns
* Face greater pressure from habitat changes
* Become more vulnerable to disease or other environmental stresses
Species that cannot adapt or move quickly enough may face increased risks.
Protecting natural habitats can help wildlife cope with environmental changes.
----
=== 9. Climate Change and Forests ===
Forests are important in the fight against climate change.
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store carbon in their:
* Trunks
* Branches
* Leaves
* Roots
* Soil
Forests also provide habitats, protect soil, support water systems, and provide resources for communities.
Protecting forests and managing them sustainably can therefore provide both environmental and social benefits.
----
=== 10. Climate Change and Human Health ===
Climate change can affect human health in several ways.
For example, changes in temperature can increase heat-related risks. Flooding can damage homes and sanitation systems, while drought can affect food and water supplies.
Climate change can also influence the conditions under which some disease-carrying organisms survive and spread.
The effects are not the same everywhere. Local conditions, healthcare systems, infrastructure, and people's ability to adapt all matter.
----
=== 11. Climate Change and Extreme Weather ===
Climate change does not cause every individual weather event.
However, warming can influence the likelihood or intensity of '''some''' extreme events.
Examples include:
* Heatwaves
* Heavy rainfall
* Flooding
* Droughts
The relationship differs between types of events and locations, so scientists study individual events and regions carefully.
----
=== 12. What Is Climate Change Adaptation? ===
'''Adaptation''' means adjusting to actual or expected climate changes in order to reduce harm or take advantage of possible opportunities.
Examples include:
* Building stronger drainage systems.
* Protecting wetlands.
* Improving water storage.
* Growing crops suited to changing conditions.
* Planting trees for shade.
* Developing early-warning systems for dangerous weather.
* Improving building designs.
Adaptation helps communities prepare for changes that are already occurring or expected.
----
=== 13. What Is Climate Change Mitigation? ===
'''Mitigation''' means reducing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing the amount of greenhouse gases removed from the atmosphere.
Examples include:
* Using renewable energy such as solar and wind power.
* Improving energy efficiency.
* Using public transport where practical.
* Walking or cycling for suitable journeys.
* Protecting and restoring forests.
* Reducing unnecessary waste.
* Improving waste management.
* Developing lower-emission technologies.
Mitigation addresses the causes of climate change, while adaptation focuses on reducing the harm caused by its effects.
----
=== 14. What Can Students Do? ===
Students may not control large industries or national policies, but their everyday actions can contribute to environmental protection.
==== At School ====
Students can:
* Switch off unnecessary lights and electrical equipment.
* Avoid wasting paper.
* Walk or cycle where it is safe and practical.
* Use reusable items where appropriate.
* Plant and care for trees.
* Prevent littering.
* Protect school gardens and green spaces.
==== At Home ====
Families can:
* Use energy efficiently.
* Reduce unnecessary waste.
* Reuse suitable items.
* Avoid unnecessary burning of waste.
* Save water.
* Plant and care for appropriate trees.
* Choose lower-waste options where practical.
Individual actions are useful, but addressing climate change also requires action by communities, businesses, governments, and other institutions.
----
=== 15. Climate Change and Our Community ===
Communities can work together to become more resilient.
Useful activities include:
* Protecting forests and wetlands.
* Improving drainage.
* Maintaining clean water sources.
* Planting appropriate trees.
* Using sustainable farming practices.
* Preparing emergency plans.
* Sharing information about climate risks.
* Supporting reliable weather and early-warning information.
Local knowledge is also valuable. People who have lived in an area for many years may notice changes in rainfall, seasons, water availability, or farming conditions.
Combining local knowledge with scientific information can help communities plan effectively.
----
=== 16. A Greener Future ===
A changing climate presents challenges, but people can take action.
A greener future can involve:
* Clean and efficient energy
* Sustainable agriculture
* Protected forests
* Healthy wetlands
* Less waste
* Cleaner transport
* Efficient use of water
* Climate-resilient communities
Young people have an important role because today's decisions will affect the world they live in throughout their lives.
----
=== 17. Practical Activity: Observe Your Environment ===
==== Activity ====
Keep a simple weather diary for two weeks.
Each day, record:
* Temperature if a thermometer is available
* Whether it rained
* Approximate amount of rainfall if measurable
* Cloud conditions
* Wind conditions
* Any unusual weather observations
At the end of two weeks, discuss:
# Which days were rainy?
# Which days were dry?
# Did the weather change from day to day?
# Can two weeks of observations tell us the long-term climate of your area? Why or why not?
# Why do scientists need measurements collected over many years to study climate?
This activity helps students understand the difference between '''weather''' and '''climate'''.
----
=== 18. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Climate:''' The long-term pattern of weather conditions in a particular area.
'''Climate change:''' Long-term changes in the Earth's climate.
'''Greenhouse gas:''' A gas that absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

== '''<big>A Young Reader's Guide to a Clean and Healthy Environment.</big>''' ==
== '''Book Summary:''' ==
A Young Reader’s Guide to a Clean and Healthy Community is an educational book for Primary 4–6 learners that teaches children how to care for their homes, schools and communities. The book begins by helping children understand what a community is and why everyone has a responsibility to care for it. It then introduces proper waste management, protection of water sources, the importance of trees, teamwork and children's leadership. Through simple explanations, stories, activities and discussion questions, learners are encouraged to move from simply learning about environmental problems to taking positive action.
=== Expected Outcome ===
The book will encourage children to practice good hygiene, protect the environment, work together and take responsibility for creating cleaner, safer and healthier communities.
=== Conclusion ===
The book will remind young readers that everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment and that '''small actions can make a big difference'''.
== '''Introduction:''' ==
Our environment is our home. We live, learn, play and grow in it. Keeping it clean and healthy helps us stay safe and happy.
This book teaches young readers simple ways to care for their homes, schools and communities. Through short stories, activities and questions, children will learn about rubbish, clean water, trees, teamwork and responsibility.
Remember, '''small actions can make a big difference!'''
== Chapter 1: Our Community, Our Responsibility ==
=== Understanding a community ===
While we traditionally think of a community as the people in a given geographical location, the word can really refer to any group sharing something in common -- '''place''' (such as a city, neighborhood, or school district), '''experience''' (such as shared experience of racism), or '''interest''' (e.g., a community's concern about poverty or violence prevention).
These various communities often overlap. A Black art teacher, for example, might see herself (or be seen by others) as a member of the Black, arts, and/or education communities, as well as of a particular faith community. Whichever community defines your work, you will want to get to know it well. Examples of communities include homes, schools, villages and neighborhoods.
People in a community share places and resources. They should help one another and work together to solve problems.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Community shared resources: Connecting the Dots: The Impact of Shared Resources in Local Communities |url=https://fastercapital.com/content/Community-shared-resources--Connecting-the-Dots--The-Impact-of-Shared-Resources-in-Local-Communities.html |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=FasterCapital |language=en}}</ref>
=== What do we mean by understanding and describing the community? ===
Understanding the community entails understanding it in a number of ways. Whether or not the community is defined geographically, it still has a geographic context -- a setting that it exists in. Getting a clear sense of this setting may be key to a full understanding of it. At the same time, it's important to understand the specific community you're concerned with. You have to get to know its people -- their culture, their concerns, and relationships -- and to develop your own relationships with them as well.
* ''Physical aspects''. Every community has a physical presence of some sort, even if only one building. Most have a geographic area or areas they are either defined by or attached to. It's important to know the community's size and the look and feel of its buildings, its topography (the lay of the land -- the hills, valleys, rivers, roads, and other features you'd find on a map), and each of its neighborhoods. Also important are how various areas of the community differ from one another, and whether your impression is one of clean, well-maintained houses and streets, or one of shabbiness, dirt, and neglect. If the community is one defined by its population, then its physical properties are also defined by the population: where they live, where they gather, the places that are important to them. The characteristics of those places can tell you a great deal about the people who make up the community. Their self-image, many of their attitudes, and their aspirations are often reflected in the places where they choose -- or are forced by circumstance or discrimination -- to live, work, gather, and play.
* ''Infrastructure''. Roads, bridges, transportation (local public transportation, airports, train lines), electricity, landline and mobile telephone service, broadband service, and similar "basics" make up the infrastructure of the community, without which it couldn't function.
* ''Patterns of settlement, commerce, and industry''. Where are those physical spaces we've been discussing? Communities reveal their character by where and how they create living and working spaces. Where there are areas with severely inadequate housing and limited services -- substandard housing in areas with few or no services that are the only options for people with lower incomes -- the value the larger community places on those residents seems clear. Are heavy industries located next to residential neighborhoods? If so, who lives in those neighborhoods? Are some parts of the community dangerous, either because of high crime and violence or because of unsafe conditions in the built or natural environment?
* ''Demographics''. It's vital to understand who makes up the community. Age, gender, race and ethnicity, marital status, education, number of people in household, first language -- these and other statistics make up the demographic profile of the population. When you put them together (e.g., the education level of black women ages 18-24), it gives you a clear picture of who community residents are.
* ''History''. The long-term history of the community can tell you about community traditions, what the community is, or has been, proud of, and what residents would prefer not to talk about. Recent history can afford valuable information about conflicts and factions within the community, important issues, past and current relationships among key people and groups -- many of the factors that can trip up any effort before it starts if you don't know about and address them.
* ''Community leaders, formal and informal''. Some community leaders are elected or appointed -- mayors, city councilors, directors of public works. Others are considered leaders because of their activities or their positions in the community -- community activists, corporate CEO's, college presidents, doctors, clergy. Still others are recognized as leaders because, they are trusted for their proven integrity, courage, and/or care for others and the good of the community.
* ''Community culture, formal and informal''. This covers the spoken and unspoken rules and traditions by which the community lives. It can include everything from community events and slogans -- the blessing of the fishing fleet, the "Artichoke Capital of the World" -- to norms of behavior -- turning a blind eye to alcohol use disorder or domestic violence -- to patterns of discrimination and exercise of power. Understanding the culture and how it developed can be crucial, especially if that's what you're attempting to change.
* ''Existing groups''. Most communities have an array of groups and organizations of different kinds -- service clubs (Lions, Rotary, etc.), faith groups, youth organizations, sports teams and clubs, groups formed around shared interests, the boards of community-wide organizations (the YMCA, the Rotary Club), as well as groups devoted to self-help, advocacy, and activism. Knowing of the existence and importance of each of these groups can pave the way for alliances or for understanding opposition.
* ''Existing institutions''. Every community has institutions that are important to it, and that have more or less credibility with residents. Colleges and universities, libraries, religious institutions, hospitals -- all of these and many others can occupy important places in the community. It's important to know what they are, who represents them, and what influence they wield.
* ''Economics''. Who are the major employers in the community? What, if any, business or industry is the community's base? Who, if anyone, exercises economic power? How is wealth distributed? Would you characterize the community as poor, working, class, middle class, or affluent? What are the economic prospects of the population in general and/or the population you're concerned with?
* ''Government/Politics''. Understanding the structure of community government is obviously important. Some communities may have strong mayors and weak city councils, others the opposite. Still other communities may have no mayor at all, but only a town manager, or may have a different form of government entirely. Whatever the government structure, where does political power lie? Understanding where the real power is can be the difference between a successful effort and a vain one.
* ''Social structure''. Many aspects of social structure are integrated into other areas -- relationships, politics, economics -- but there are also the questions of how people in the community relate to one another on a daily basis, how problems are (or aren't) resolved, who socializes or does business with whom, etc. This area also includes perceptions and symbols of status and respect, and whether status carries entitlement or responsibility (or both).
* ''Attitudes and values''. Again, much of this area may be covered by investigation into others, particularly culture. What does the community care about, and what does it ignore? What are residents' assumptions about the proper way to behave, to dress, to do business, to treat others? Is there widely accepted discrimination against one or more groups by the majority or by those in power? What are the norms for interaction among those who with different opinions or different backgrounds?
'''We'll discuss all of these aspects of community in greater detail later in the section.'''<blockquote>There are obviously many more aspects of community that can be explored, such as health or education. The assumption here is that as part of an assessment, you'll aim for a general understanding of the community, as described in this section, and also assess, with a narrower focus, the specific aspects you're interested in.</blockquote>Once you've explored the relevant areas of the community, you'll have the information to create a community description. Depending on your needs and information, this description might be anything from a two-or three-page outline to an in-depth portrait of the community that extends to tens of pages and includes charts, graphs, photographs, and other elements. The point of doing it is to have a picture of the community at a particular point in time that you can use to provide a context for your community assessment and to see the results of whatever actions you take to bring about change.<blockquote>A community description can be as creative as you're capable of making it. It can be written as a story, can incorporate photos and commentary from community residents, can be done online and include audio and video, etc. The more interesting the description is, the more people are likely to actually read it.</blockquote>
=== Caring for Our Surroundings and the enviroment ===
Our surroundings or environment is the natural world around you the air, water, land, plants, and animals. Everything in nature is part of your environment. You share this environment with people, animals, and plants in your community.
=== '''How you can care for your surroundings''' ===
=== Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle ===
You can follow the three-R rule every day. '''Reduce''' means using less so you make less waste. '''Reuse''' means using something again instead of throwing it away. '''Recycle''' means turning old materials into new ones.
For example, you can use a reusable lunch bag and water bottle at school. You can decorate an old jar and use it as a pencil holder. You can put paper and plastic bottles in the recycling bin.
=== Sorting Your Waste ===
You sort your waste by putting it in the right bin. Banana peels go in the '''compost bin'''. A plastic bottle goes in the '''recycling bin'''. A broken toy that cannot be fixed goes in the '''garbage bin'''. Sorting waste properly helps protect the environment.
=== Composting ===
Composting means collecting food waste like; banana peels, left overs and vegetable cuttings. These wastes break down and turn into rich soil for gardens.
=== Saving Water and Energy ===
You can save water by turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. You can save electricity by turning off lights when you leave a room. These small actions help protect natural resources every single day.
=== Planting Trees and Native Plants ===
Trees clean the air and give animals a home. Planting flowers and native plants in your garden helps birds, bees, and butterflies find food and shelter. This supports the wildlife in your neighborhood. Additionally, you can help by; Cleaning our homes, classrooms and playgrounds, and Keeping water sources clean.
* Avoiding damage to public property.
* Helping people who need support.
=== Children's Responsibilities ===
Children have an important role in caring for their communities. They can help by setting a good example and encouraging others to behave responsibly.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-05 |title=Empowering Kids to Make a Big Impact in Their Communities |url=https://sesameworkshop.org/resources/empowering-kids-to-make-a-big-impact-in-their-communities/ |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=Sesame Workshop |language=en-US}}</ref> Children should respect others, avoid littering and report dangerous or dirty places to trusted adults.
=== Short Story: The Rubbish Behind the Library ===
Some pupils noticed rubbish behind their school library. They decided to clean the area with the help of their teacher. They collected the rubbish, placed it in bins and planted flowers near the library.
The area became clean and beautiful. Other pupils followed their example.
'''Lesson:''' Everyone can help to improve the community.
=== Activity and Discussion ===
# What is a community?
# Name three ways of keeping your school clean.
# Why should children care for their surroundings?
# Organize a small classroom cleaning activity.
== Chapter 2: Types of Waste and Every Piece of Rubbish Has a Place ==
=== Introduction ===
Every day, people produce waste. We throw away food scraps, plastic bottles, paper, cans, old clothes, broken equipment, and many other things. Waste is a normal part of human life, but the way we handle it determines whether it becomes a danger or a useful resource.
Waste that is thrown anywhere can make our surroundings dirty, block drainage channels, pollute water, attract pests, and spread disease. However, when waste is '''sorted, reused, recycled, treated, or disposed of correctly''', it can be managed safely.
This chapter explains the main '''types of waste''' and introduces an important idea: '''every piece of rubbish has a proper place'''.
This chapter explains the main '''types of waste''' and introduces an important idea: '''every piece of rubbish has a proper place'''.
----
=== 1. What Is Waste? ===
'''Waste''' is any material, substance, or object that a person no longer wants or needs and decides to discard.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is waste? – KS2 Science curriculum |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z2rhcj6 |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=BBC Bitesize |language=en-GB}}</ref>
Examples include:
* Banana peels
* Plastic bottles
* Newspapers
* Empty tins
* Broken glass
* Old batteries
* Used clothes
* Food leftovers
* Broken electronic devices
Not all waste is the same. Different materials have different effects on the environment and require different methods of handling.
----
=== 2. Types of Waste ===
Waste can be classified in several ways. The most common classification is according to its '''nature and source'''.
==== A. Biodegradable Waste ====
'''Biodegradable waste''' is waste that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
Examples include:
* Fruit and vegetable peels
* Food leftovers
* Leaves
* Grass
* Animal manure
* Paper and some untreated natural materials
Biodegradable waste can often be turned into '''compost''', which is useful for improving soil.
=== Example ===
Instead of throwing banana peels into a general rubbish pile, they can be collected with other organic materials and composted.
'''Remember:'''
'''Biodegradable = can naturally break down.'''
----
==== B. Non-Biodegradable Waste ====
'''Non-biodegradable waste''' does not break down easily through natural processes, or it may take a very long time to do so.
Examples include:
* Plastic bags
* Plastic bottles
* Glass
* Some metals
* Synthetic materials
Some non-biodegradable materials can be '''reused or recycled''' rather than thrown away.
=== Why is it a problem? ===
When non-biodegradable waste is poorly managed, it can remain in the environment for long periods and contribute to land and water pollution.
'''Remember:'''
'''Non-biodegradable = does not easily break down naturally.'''
----
=== 3. Recyclable Waste ===
'''Recyclable waste''' consists of materials that can be collected and processed into new products.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gabriel |first=Mr |date=2024-09-12 |title=How to Dispose Waste Properly: A Guide to Proper Waste Management |url=https://whatisgreenliving.com/how-to-dispose-waste-properly/ |access-date=2026-09-14 |website=What is Green Living? |language=en-GB}}</ref>
Common recyclable materials include:
* Paper
* Cardboard
* Certain plastics
* Aluminium cans
* Steel cans
* Glass bottles and containers
For recycling to work effectively, materials should be '''sorted and kept reasonably clean'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Topic 2 Reusing in daily life – CICLO |url=https://ciclo-project.eu/topic/topic-2-reusing-in-daily-life/ |access-date=2026-09-14 |language=en-GB}}</ref>
=== Example ===
An empty metal drink can can be collected, processed, and used to make new metal products instead of being sent directly to a landfill.
----
=== 4. Hazardous Waste ===
'''Hazardous waste''' is waste that can cause harm to people, animals, or the environment if it is handled or disposed of incorrectly.
Examples include:
* Used batteries
* Certain chemicals
* Pesticide containers
* Some paints and solvents
* Medical sharps
* Some electronic waste
* Certain cleaning products
Hazardous waste should '''not simply be mixed with ordinary household rubbish'''.
It may require special collection, treatment, or disposal.
==== Safety rule ====
Never play with, burn, open, or pour unknown chemicals or hazardous waste into drains, rivers, or onto the ground.
----
=== 5. Electronic Waste ===
'''Electronic waste''', commonly called '''e-waste''', includes unwanted electrical and electronic equipment.
Examples include:
* Old mobile phones
* Computers
* Televisions
* Radios
* Chargers
* Keyboards
* Printers
* Broken appliances
Electronic devices contain valuable materials that can sometimes be recovered and reused. They may also contain substances that require careful handling.
Therefore, unwanted electronics should be taken to appropriate collection or recycling facilities where available.
----
=== 6. Medical Waste ===
'''Medical waste''' is waste produced during healthcare activities.
Examples include:
* Used syringes
* Needles
* Bandages
* Gloves
* Contaminated dressings
* Certain medicines and medical materials
Medical waste can pose health risks if it is not properly handled.
For example, '''used needles should never be placed loosely into ordinary rubbish''', because they can injure people and potentially transmit infection.
Healthcare facilities use special containers and procedures for managing such waste.
----
=== 7. Construction and Demolition Waste ===
Construction activities produce waste such as:
* Broken bricks
* Concrete
* Soil
* Wood
* Roofing materials
* Scrap metal
* Tiles
Some of these materials can be reused in construction or recycled.
Good construction waste management reduces unnecessary dumping and saves useful materials.
----
=== 8. Liquid Waste ===
'''Liquid waste''' is waste in liquid form.
Examples include:
* Wastewater
* Used cooking oil
* Certain industrial liquids
* Sewage
* Some chemical liquids
Liquid waste must be managed carefully because it can easily enter soil, drains, streams, lakes, and groundwater.
'''Never pour hazardous liquids into a river, open drain, or onto bare soil.'''
----
=== 9. Gaseous Waste ===
Some human activities release waste substances into the air in the form of gases or particles.
Sources can include:
* Vehicle exhaust
* Industrial processes
* Burning waste
* Certain fuel-burning appliances
Poor management of air pollutants can contribute to poor air quality and environmental damage.
This is one reason '''open burning of rubbish is generally a poor waste-management practice''', especially when plastics and other materials are burned.
----
=== 10. Every Piece of Rubbish Has a Place ===
The statement '''“Every piece of rubbish has a place”''' teaches us that waste should not be thrown carelessly. Different kinds of waste should go to appropriate destinations.
A simple waste-sorting system can look like this:
{| class="wikitable"
!Type of waste
!Examples
!Suitable action
|-
|Organic waste
|Food scraps, leaves
|Composting
|-
|Paper/cardboard
|Newspapers, boxes
|Reuse or recycle
|-
|Plastics
|Bottles, containers
|Reuse or recycle where facilities exist
|-
|Glass
|Bottles, jars
|Reuse or recycle
|-
|Metals
|Cans, scrap metal
|Recycle
|-
|E-waste
|Phones, computers
|Special collection/recycling
|-
|Hazardous waste
|Batteries, chemicals
|Special handling
|-
|Medical waste
|Needles, contaminated materials
|Approved medical-waste system
|-
|General residual waste
|Materials that cannot be recovered
|Appropriate final disposal
|}
The exact collection system differs from one community to another, so people should follow the waste-sorting rules used by their local authority or waste-collection service.
----
=== 11. The Waste Hierarchy ===
Good waste management does not begin with throwing things away. It follows a hierarchy that encourages people to prevent waste first.
==== 1. Refuse ====
Avoid unnecessary items when possible.
'''Example:''' Refuse unnecessary single-use packaging.
==== 2. Reduce ====
Use fewer resources and produce less waste.
'''Example:''' Buy only the food you are likely to use.
===== 3. Reuse =====
Use an item again instead of throwing it away.
'''Example:''' Use a durable shopping bag repeatedly.
===== 4. Repair =====
Fix broken items when practical.
'''Example:''' Repair a chair rather than immediately replacing it.
===== 5. Recycle =====
Process suitable materials into new products.
'''Example:''' Recycle suitable paper, metal, glass, and plastics.
===== 6. Recover =====
Recover useful materials or energy from waste through appropriate processes.
===== 7. Dispose =====
Waste that cannot reasonably be reused, recycled, or recovered should be disposed of safely.
'''The key lesson is: disposal should not be our first choice.'''
----
=== 12. Why Proper Waste Management Matters ===
Proper waste management has many benefits.
==== Protects human health ====
Accumulated rubbish can attract flies, rats, and other pests. Poorly managed waste can also create opportunities for disease transmission.
==== Protects water ====
Waste dumped into waterways can contaminate rivers, lakes, and other sources of water.
==== Protects soil ====
Chemicals and other harmful substances can contaminate soil when waste is poorly disposed of.
==== Keeps communities clean ====
Clean streets, schools, homes, and public spaces are safer and more pleasant.
==== Saves resources ====
Recycling and reuse allow valuable materials to remain in use rather than constantly requiring new raw materials.
==== Reduces pollution ====
Sorting and treating waste properly can reduce pollution caused by dumping and inappropriate burning.
----
=== 13. Waste Management at Home and School ===
Everyone can contribute to better waste management.
==== At home ====
* Keep rubbish in suitable containers.
* Separate organic waste from recyclable materials where possible.
* Compost suitable organic waste.
* Reuse containers and bags.
* Avoid unnecessary single-use products.
* Keep hazardous materials separate.
* Never dump rubbish in drainage channels or waterways.
==== At school ====
Schools can:
* Provide clearly labelled waste bins.
* Teach learners about waste separation.
* Organise clean-up activities.
* Encourage reusable water bottles.
* Collect paper for recycling where facilities exist.
* Compost suitable food and garden waste.
* Ensure sharp or hazardous materials are handled safely.
----
=== 14. A Simple Waste-Sorting Activity ===
Imagine that you have the following items:
# Banana peel
# Plastic water bottle
# Newspaper
# Broken battery
# Glass bottle
# Old mobile phone
# Food leftovers
# Used needle
How should they be handled?
* '''Banana peel →''' organic waste/compost
* '''Plastic bottle →''' reuse or appropriate plastic recycling
* '''Newspaper →''' reuse or paper recycling
* '''Battery →''' special battery/e-waste collection
* '''Glass bottle →''' reuse or glass recycling
* '''Old mobile phone →''' e-waste collection/recycling
* '''Food leftovers →''' composting where appropriate
* '''Used needle →''' approved sharps/medical-waste disposal
This demonstrates why '''sorting waste at the point where it is produced''' is so important.
----
=== 15. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Waste:''' Material that is discarded because it is no longer wanted or needed.
'''Biodegradable:''' Able to break down naturally through biological processes.
'''Non-biodegradable:''' Not easily broken down naturally.
'''Recycle:''' Process used materials so they can be made into new products.
'''Reuse:''' Use an item again instead of discarding it.
'''Compost:''' Decomposed organic material that can be used to improve soil.
'''Hazardous waste:''' Waste that can pose a danger to people or the environment.
'''E-waste:''' Discarded electrical and electronic equipment.
=== Short Story: Amina's Big Idea ===
Amina saw many plastic bottles around her school. She suggested collecting the bottles and using some of them to make flower containers.
Her classmates helped her. Soon, the school had fewer bottles on the ground and more beautiful flowers.
'''Lesson:''' Waste materials can sometimes be reused in useful ways.
=== Practical Activity ===
Collect safe reusable materials and make a useful object, such as a flowerpot, pencil holder or decoration.
== Chapter 3: Water Is Life ==
=== Introduction ===
Water is one of the most important resources on Earth. Every living thing needs water to survive. People, animals, and plants all depend on water for life and growth.
We use water every day for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, cleaning, farming, and many other activities. Water is also important in industries, transport, energy production, and recreation.
Because water is essential for life, we must use it wisely, protect it from pollution, and make sure that everyone has access to safe water.
----
=== 1. What Is Water? ===
Water is a natural substance made up of hydrogen and oxygen. In its pure form, it has no colour, smell, or taste.
Water exists in three main states:
* '''Liquid''' – such as water in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
* '''Solid''' – such as ice and snow.
* '''Gas''' – water vapour found in the atmosphere.
Water constantly moves between these states through the '''water cycle'''.
----
=== 2. Sources of Water ===
Water comes from different natural sources.
==== A. Rainwater ====
Rain is an important source of fresh water. Rainwater fills rivers, lakes, wetlands, and reservoirs and also helps to replenish groundwater.
People can collect rainwater from rooftops and store it in tanks for appropriate household or other uses.
==== B. Rivers and Streams ====
Rivers and streams provide water for domestic use, agriculture, livestock, industry, and ecosystems.
However, water from rivers may contain microorganisms, chemicals, or other contaminants. It may therefore require appropriate treatment before it is safe to drink.
==== C. Lakes ====
Lakes contain large amounts of water and support people, plants, animals, and economic activities.
Lakes can provide water for communities, fishing, agriculture, transport, and recreation.
==== D. Groundwater ====
Groundwater is water stored beneath the Earth's surface in soil and rock.
It can be accessed through:
* Wells
* Boreholes
* Springs
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water in many communities.
==== E. Wetlands ====
Wetlands are areas where water covers or saturates the land for part or all of the year.
They provide important environmental services, including storing water, supporting wildlife, and helping to filter pollutants.
----
=== 3. Why Water Is Life ===
Water is essential for almost every activity that supports life.
==== A. Water for Drinking ====
The human body needs water to function properly. People lose water through activities such as breathing, sweating, and urination, so they need to replace it regularly.
Safe drinking water is important for maintaining good health.
==== B. Water for Food Production ====
Farmers need water to grow crops and keep animals healthy.
Water is used for:
* Irrigation
* Watering livestock
* Cleaning agricultural equipment
* Processing some agricultural products
Without sufficient water, food production can be seriously affected.
==== C. Water for Plants ====
Plants need water for growth and survival. Water helps plants transport nutrients and supports photosynthesis.
Without enough water, plants may wilt, stop growing, or die.
==== D. Water for Animals ====
Animals need water for drinking and other biological processes. Rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other water bodies also provide habitats for many animals.
==== E. Water for Hygiene and Sanitation ====
Water is essential for:
* Washing hands
* Bathing
* Cleaning homes
* Washing clothes
* Cleaning utensils
* Flushing toilets
Good hygiene and sanitation help protect communities from disease.
==== F. Water in Industry ====
Industries use water for many purposes, including:
* Manufacturing
* Cooling machinery
* Cleaning
* Food processing
* Producing certain goods
Industries must manage water responsibly and prevent harmful substances from entering water sources.
----
=== 4. The Water Cycle ===
Water does not simply disappear after it is used. It moves continuously through the environment in a process called the '''water cycle'''.
The main stages include:
==== 1. Evaporation ====
Heat from the Sun causes water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other surfaces to change into water vapour.
==== 2. Transpiration ====
Plants release water vapour into the atmosphere through tiny openings in their leaves.
==== 3. Condensation ====
Water vapour rises, cools, and forms tiny droplets that make clouds.
==== 4. Precipitation ====
When water droplets become sufficiently large, they fall to Earth as:
* Rain
* Snow
* Sleet
* Hail
==== 5. Collection and Infiltration ====
Water collects in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other water bodies. Some water also soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater.
The cycle then continues.
----
=== 5. Clean Water and Polluted Water ===
Not all water is safe to drink.
'''Clean and safe water''' is water that does not contain harmful levels of microorganisms, chemicals, or other contaminants.
'''Polluted water''' contains substances that can harm people, animals, plants, or ecosystems.
Water pollution can come from many sources.
=== Examples include: ===
* Sewage
* Plastic waste
* Oil
* Industrial chemicals
* Agricultural chemicals
* Animal waste
* Household waste
* Soil and sediment
----
=== 6. Effects of Water Pollution ===
Water pollution can have serious consequences.
==== A. Human Health ====
Contaminated water can contribute to diseases and other health problems, particularly where sanitation and water treatment are inadequate.
==== B. Aquatic Life ====
Pollution can harm fish, insects, plants, amphibians, and other organisms living in water.
==== C. Food Production ====
Polluted water used for agriculture can affect crops, livestock, and food safety.
==== D. The Environment ====
Pollution can damage aquatic ecosystems and reduce the quality of habitats.
==== E. Economic Activities ====
Fishing, tourism, agriculture, and other activities can suffer when water resources become polluted.
----
=== 7. How We Can Protect Water ===
Everyone has a role to play in protecting water resources.
==== At Home ====
* Do not throw rubbish into drains, rivers, or lakes.
* Repair leaking taps and pipes.
* Use only the water you need.
* Avoid wasting water while washing.
* Dispose of chemicals and oils appropriately.
* Keep toilets and sanitation facilities clean.
==== At School ====
Students can:
* Turn off taps after use.
* Report leaking taps and pipes.
* Keep school compounds free from litter.
* Avoid throwing rubbish into drainage channels.
* Participate in water-conservation activities.
* Teach others about the importance of water.
==== In the Community ====
Communities can:
* Protect wells, springs, rivers, and wetlands.
* Prevent dumping near water sources.
* Plant and protect vegetation where appropriate.
* Maintain drainage and sanitation systems.
* Encourage responsible water use.
* Support safe water and sanitation projects.
----
=== 8. Water Conservation ===
'''Water conservation''' means using water carefully and avoiding unnecessary waste.
Simple actions can save large amounts of water.
=== Examples ===
Instead of leaving a tap running while brushing your teeth, turn it off when water is not needed.
When washing clothes or dishes, use a reasonable amount of water rather than allowing water to run continuously.
Leaking taps and pipes should be repaired because a small leak can waste water over time.
Rainwater can also be collected and used for suitable purposes.
----
=== 9. The Importance of Wetlands and Forests ===
Natural ecosystems help protect water resources.
==== Wetlands ====
Wetlands can store water, provide habitats, and help remove some pollutants from water.
==== Forests and Vegetation ====
Vegetation helps protect soil and can reduce erosion and surface runoff. Vegetated areas around water bodies can therefore contribute to the protection of water quality.
Destroying wetlands and removing vegetation carelessly can increase environmental problems such as erosion, flooding, and water pollution.
----
=== 10. Safe Drinking Water ===
Water intended for drinking should be obtained from a safe source and, where necessary, treated appropriately.
Methods of treating water may include:
* Boiling
* Filtration
* Chlorination
* Other approved water-treatment methods
The correct treatment method depends on the source and the contaminants that may be present.
Water should also be stored safely in clean, covered containers to reduce the chance of contamination.
----
=== 11. Water and Our Future ===
Fresh water is limited and unevenly distributed. Some communities have reliable access to safe water, while others face shortages or difficulties accessing clean water.
Population growth, pollution, climate variability, changing land use, and increasing demand can place pressure on water resources.
Protecting water today helps ensure that future generations can also benefit from this essential resource.
----
=== 12. Practical Activity: Saving Water ===
==== Activity ====
For one day, observe how water is used at home or school.
Make a list of activities such as:
* Drinking
* Cooking
* Bathing
* Washing hands
* Washing clothes
* Cleaning
* Watering plants
Then identify activities where water may be wasted.
==== Questions ====
# Which activity uses the most water?
# Where is water being wasted?
# How could the waste be reduced?
# What can you do personally to save water?
Discuss your answers with your classmates or family members.
----
=== 13. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Water:''' A natural substance essential for life.
'''Water cycle:''' The continuous movement of water through the environment.
'''Evaporation:''' The change of liquid water into water vapour.
'''Condensation:''' The change of water vapour into liquid droplets.
'''Precipitation:''' Water falling from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
'''Groundwater:''' Water stored beneath the Earth's surface.
'''Water pollution:''' The contamination of water by harmful substances.
'''Water conservation:''' The careful and responsible use of water.
'''Wetland:''' Land that is covered or saturated with water for part or all of the year.
'''Sanitation:''' Systems and practices for safely managing human waste and maintaining hygiene.
----
=== 14. Summary ===
Water is essential for '''people, animals, plants, agriculture, sanitation, industry, and ecosystems'''. It comes from sources such as rain, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and wetlands.
Water moves continuously through the '''water cycle''', but clean and accessible freshwater is a valuable resource that must be protected.
Pollution, waste, careless use, and damage to natural ecosystems can threaten water resources. We can help by '''saving water, preventing pollution, protecting water sources, practising good sanitation, and using water responsibly'''.
The most important lesson is simple:<blockquote>'''Water is life. Protect every drop.'''</blockquote>
==== Short Story: The Dirty Stream ====
Children in a village noticed that their stream was becoming dirty. Some people were throwing rubbish into it.
The children spoke to their teacher and community leaders. Together, they organised a clean-up and encouraged people to stop dumping rubbish in the stream.
'''Lesson:''' Protecting water requires teamwork and responsible behavior.
==== Water-Protection Challenge ====
For one week:
* Close taps properly after use.
* Use only the water you need.
* Keep water containers clean.
* Encourage others not to pollute water sources.
== Chapter 4: Trees ==
=== Introduction ===
Trees are among the most useful living things on Earth. They grow in forests, gardens, farms, school compounds, along roads, and around our homes. Trees provide food, shelter, shade, materials, and many other benefits.
Trees also help protect the environment. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release oxygen through photosynthesis, help protect soil from erosion, and provide habitats for many animals.
For these reasons, trees can truly be described as '''our friends'''. However, trees need care and protection so that they can continue benefiting people and the environment.
----
=== 1. What Is a Tree? ===
A tree is a large plant with a woody stem or trunk, branches, leaves, and roots.
The main parts of a tree include:
* '''Roots''' – anchor the tree in the soil and absorb water and minerals.
* '''Trunk''' – supports the tree and transports water and nutrients.
* '''Branches''' – hold the leaves, flowers, and fruits.
* '''Leaves''' – make food for the tree through photosynthesis.
* '''Flowers''' – help many trees reproduce.
* '''Fruits and seeds''' – help produce new trees.
Trees vary greatly in size, shape, and appearance.
----
=== 2. Trees Give Us Oxygen ===
Trees and other green plants carry out '''photosynthesis'''.
During photosynthesis, plants use:
* Sunlight
* Water
* Carbon dioxide
to produce food, while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
Oxygen is needed by humans and many animals for respiration.
Trees therefore play an important role in maintaining the gases that support life.
----
=== 3. Trees Give Us Food ===
Many trees provide food for people and animals.
Examples include:
* Mango trees
* Avocado trees
* Orange trees
* Jackfruit trees
* Banana plants
* Coconut palms
Trees can provide fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves, and other edible products.
Animals also depend on trees for food.
----
=== 4. Trees Provide Shade ===
Trees provide shade from strong sunlight.
People can sit under trees to rest, study, talk, or relax. Trees around homes, schools, parks, and public spaces can make these places more comfortable.
Shade from trees can also help reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching buildings and the ground.
----
=== 5. Trees Provide Homes for Animals ===
Trees are important habitats for many living organisms.
Birds may build nests in branches. Insects may live on leaves and bark. Monkeys, squirrels, reptiles, and other animals may use trees for shelter, food, or movement.
A large tree can therefore support many different forms of life.
When trees are destroyed, animals can lose their homes and sources of food.
----
=== 6. Trees Protect the Soil ===
Tree roots hold soil together.
When heavy rain falls on bare soil, it can wash soil away. This process is called '''soil erosion'''.
Trees can help reduce erosion because:
* Their roots hold soil together.
* Their leaves and branches reduce the force of falling rain.
* Fallen leaves cover the soil.
* Tree-covered land can slow surface runoff.
Protecting trees is therefore one way of helping to protect soil.
----
=== 7. Trees Help Protect Water ===
Trees and other vegetation play an important role in the water cycle.
Their roots help water enter and move through the soil. Vegetation can also reduce soil erosion and the amount of sediment carried into rivers and lakes.
Trees growing near water bodies can therefore contribute to the protection of water resources.
----
=== 8. Trees Help Fight Climate Change ===
Trees absorb '''carbon dioxide''', a greenhouse gas, as they grow.
Through photosynthesis, trees use carbon dioxide to make food. Some of the carbon becomes stored in the tree's wood, roots, and other parts.
Forests and other ecosystems therefore store significant amounts of carbon.
Protecting existing forests and planting appropriate trees can contribute to efforts to address climate change, although trees are only one part of the solution.
----
=== 9. Trees Provide Materials ===
Trees provide materials that people use in everyday life.
Wood can be used to make:
* Furniture
* Doors
* Houses
* Poles
* Tools
* Paper products
Some trees also provide materials such as:
* Rubber
* Cork
* Resins
* Fibres
* Oils
These materials support many livelihoods and industries.
However, trees should be harvested responsibly, and forests should be managed sustainably.
----
=== 10. Trees Provide Medicine ===
Some trees contain substances that have been used traditionally or scientifically in medicines and other health-related products.
Examples of trees associated with traditional or medicinal uses include:
* Neem
* Eucalyptus
* Cinchona
* Some species of acacia
Medicinal plants should be used carefully. Traditional knowledge does not automatically mean that a plant is safe or effective for every medical condition.
----
=== 11. Trees Improve the Environment ===
Trees contribute to healthier surroundings in several ways.
They can:
* Provide habitats for wildlife.
* Help reduce soil erosion.
* Store carbon.
* Provide shade.
* Improve the appearance of landscapes.
* Reduce wind speeds in some areas.
* Contribute to cleaner and cooler local environments.
Trees in towns and cities can be especially valuable because they provide shade and green spaces among buildings and roads.
----
=== 12. Trees and the Air We Breathe ===
Trees interact with the atmosphere in important ways.
Their leaves absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen. Trees can also trap some airborne particles on their leaves.
However, trees do not remove all air pollution, and planting the right species in appropriate locations is important.
----
=== 13. Why People Cut Down Trees ===
People cut down trees for different reasons.
These include:
* Getting firewood
* Producing charcoal
* Obtaining timber
* Clearing land for farming
* Building houses and roads
* Producing paper and other products
Some tree harvesting is necessary for human needs. The problem arises when trees are removed '''faster than they can naturally or deliberately be replaced'''.
This can lead to '''deforestation'''.
----
=== 14. Effects of Deforestation ===
'''Deforestation''' is the large-scale removal of forests or trees from an area.
Deforestation can result in:
* Loss of wildlife habitats
* Increased soil erosion
* Loss of biodiversity
* Reduced carbon storage
* Changes in local water cycles
* Loss of valuable forest resources
When forests are cleared without proper management, the environmental and social consequences can be serious.
----
=== 15. How We Can Protect Trees ===
Everyone can help protect trees.
==== At Home ====
* Plant suitable trees.
* Avoid unnecessary cutting of trees.
* Use wood and paper responsibly.
* Protect young trees from damage.
* Compost suitable organic waste and return nutrients to the soil where appropriate.
==== At School ====
Students can:
* Plant and care for trees.
* Avoid damaging tree trunks and branches.
* Keep school gardens clean.
* Water young trees when necessary.
* Learn about local tree species.
* Organise tree-care activities.
==== In the Community ====
Communities can:
* Protect forests and woodlands.
* Plant appropriate native or well-adapted species.
* Prevent uncontrolled cutting.
* Encourage sustainable forestry.
* Protect trees along rivers and other sensitive areas.
* Educate people about the value of trees.
----
=== 16. Planting a Tree ===
Planting a tree is useful, but simply putting a seedling in the ground is not enough. The tree must be cared for.
==== Basic steps ====
# '''Choose a suitable species''' for the local environment.
# '''Choose an appropriate location''' with enough space for the mature tree.
# '''Prepare the soil''' and dig a suitable planting hole.
# '''Plant the seedling carefully.'''
# '''Water it when necessary''', especially during dry periods.
# '''Protect it from animals and damage.'''
# '''Remove competing weeds when appropriate.'''
# '''Continue caring for the tree as it grows.'''
A healthy mature tree may take many years to develop, so tree planting requires patience.
----
=== 17. Trees and Responsibility ===
Trees belong to a wider ecosystem. When we care for them, we are also helping many other organisms.
We should remember:<blockquote>'''Plant a tree, care for a tree, and protect a tree.'''</blockquote>Planting trees is important, but '''protecting existing mature trees is also very valuable''' because mature trees already provide established habitat, shade, and carbon storage.
----
=== 18. Practical Activity: Adopt a Tree ===
Choose a tree at your school or home.
Observe it regularly and record:
* Its height or approximate size
* The shape of its leaves
* Whether it has flowers or fruits
* Animals or insects found on it
* Changes you observe over several weeks
Give the tree a name if you wish and create a simple care schedule.
=== Questions ===
# What type of tree did you observe?
# What benefits does it provide?
# Which animals use it?
# How can you protect it?
# What changes did you observe over time?
----
=== 19. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Tree:''' A large woody plant with a trunk, branches, leaves, and roots.
'''Photosynthesis:''' The process by which green plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food and release oxygen.
'''Habitat:''' The natural home or environment of a plant or animal.
'''Deforestation:''' The large-scale removal of forests or trees.
'''Soil erosion:''' The removal of soil by agents such as water or wind.
'''Biodiversity:''' The variety of living organisms in an area or on Earth.
'''Forest:''' A large area dominated by trees and associated plants and animals.
'''Sustainable:''' Using resources in a way that allows them to remain available for the future.
'''Carbon dioxide:''' A gas in the atmosphere that plants use during photosynthesis and that also contributes to the greenhouse effect.
----
=== 20. Summary ===
Trees are essential parts of our environment. They provide '''food, shade, oxygen, habitats, materials, and protection for soil and water'''. They also absorb carbon dioxide and store carbon.
However, uncontrolled cutting and destruction of forests can cause deforestation, habitat loss, soil erosion, and other environmental problems.
We can protect trees by '''planting appropriate trees, caring for young trees, reducing unnecessary tree cutting, using forest products responsibly, and protecting natural forests'''.
Trees are more than sources of wood and fruit. They are living parts of ecosystems that support people, animals, and the environment..
=== Activity ===
Plant or care for a tree or flower at home or school. Observe it regularly and record how it changes.
== Chapter 5: Plastic Pollution ==
=== Introduction ===
Plastic is one of the most widely used materials in the modern world. We find plastic in bottles, bags, food packaging, toys, containers, clothes, electronics, and many other products.
Plastic is useful because it is light, strong, waterproof, and relatively inexpensive. However, when plastic is used carelessly and discarded improperly, it can become a serious environmental problem.
'''Plastic pollution''' occurs when plastic waste accumulates in places where it can harm people, animals, and the environment.
The good news is that everyone can help reduce plastic pollution by making responsible choices about how we use, reuse, collect, and dispose of plastic.
----
=== 1. What Is Plastic? ===
Plastic is a group of materials made mainly from polymers. Many plastics are produced from fossil-fuel-based raw materials, although some newer plastics are made partly or entirely from other sources.
Plastic can be manufactured into many different shapes and forms.
Examples include:
* Plastic bags
* Bottles
* Food containers
* Packaging
* Pipes
* Toys
* Furniture
* Household equipment
Because plastic can be made into so many useful products, it has become an important material in everyday life.
----
=== 2. What Is Plastic Pollution? ===
'''Plastic pollution''' is the accumulation or presence of plastic waste in the environment in ways that cause harm or create environmental problems.
Plastic waste can be found:
* On streets
* In drainage channels
* In gardens
* On beaches
* In rivers and lakes
* In wetlands
* In forests
* In agricultural areas
* In oceans
Plastic that is thrown on the ground can be carried by wind or rain into drainage systems and waterways.
----
=== 3. Common Sources of Plastic Waste ===
Plastic waste comes from many activities.
==== At Home ====
Households may produce plastic waste from:
* Shopping bags
* Food packaging
* Bottles
* Containers
* Wrappers
* Disposable utensils
==== At School ====
Schools may produce plastic waste from:
* Water bottles
* Snack wrappers
* Packaging
* Plastic stationery
* Disposable food containers
==== In Businesses ====
Shops, restaurants, markets, and industries may generate large amounts of plastic packaging and other plastic waste.
==== In Agriculture ====
Some agricultural activities use plastic materials such as containers, packaging, irrigation components, and other products.
----
=== 4. Why Does Plastic Become a Problem? ===
Plastic itself can be useful. The problem often occurs when it is '''used unnecessarily, discarded carelessly, or poorly managed'''.
Plastic can persist in the environment for long periods. Larger plastic items can break into smaller pieces called '''microplastics''' rather than simply disappearing.
When plastic waste is not collected or managed properly, it can spread through the environment.
----
=== 5. Plastic Pollution and Water ===
Plastic waste can enter rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans.
It may be carried into waterways by:
* Rain
* Floodwater
* Wind
* Poorly managed rubbish
* Drainage systems
Once plastic enters water, it can interfere with aquatic ecosystems and make waterways dirty.
Plastic waste can also block drains and contribute to flooding when drainage systems become obstructed.
----
=== 6. Plastic Pollution and Animals ===
Animals can be harmed by plastic pollution.
Some animals may mistake plastic for food and swallow it. This can cause injury, illness, or blockage of the digestive system.
Animals can also become trapped or entangled in plastic materials such as bags, strings, fishing lines, and other discarded objects.
Keeping plastic waste out of natural habitats helps protect wildlife.
----
=== 7. Microplastics ===
'''Microplastics''' are very small pieces of plastic, generally less than 5 millimetres in size.
They can be produced when larger plastic items break down into smaller pieces. Some microplastics also come directly from products or industrial processes.
Because they are so small, microplastics can be difficult to remove from the environment.
They have been detected in many environmental settings, including water, soil, air, and living organisms.
Scientists continue to study their effects on ecosystems and human health.
----
=== 8. Plastic Pollution and Soil ===
Plastic waste can accumulate on land and become mixed with soil.
This can:
* Make land unattractive and difficult to manage.
* Interfere with farming activities.
* Harm animals that live in or feed from the soil.
* Break down into smaller plastic particles.
* Carry pollutants into the wider environment.
Farmers and communities can help by preventing plastic waste from being dumped on agricultural land.
----
=== 9. Burning Plastic ===
Some people burn plastic waste because they want to get rid of it quickly.
However, '''burning plastic in open fires is not a safe waste-management method'''.
Depending on the type of plastic and how it burns, smoke can contain harmful pollutants and fine particles.
Instead of burning plastic, it is better to:
* Reduce unnecessary plastic use.
* Reuse suitable items.
* Separate recyclable materials.
* Use appropriate waste-collection services.
* Dispose of residual waste through approved systems.
----
=== 10. Plastic Recycling ===
'''Recycling''' involves collecting and processing used materials so that they can become inputs for new products.
Some types of plastic can be recycled.
However, not every plastic item is accepted by every recycling system. Recycling facilities may differ in the types of plastics they can process.
Therefore, people should follow the sorting instructions provided by their local waste-management or recycling service.
----
=== 11. Reuse Before Recycling ===
Recycling is useful, but '''reuse can sometimes be even simpler'''.
For example, a durable container can be used repeatedly instead of being thrown away after one use.
Reusable alternatives may include:
* Shopping bags
* Water bottles
* Food containers
* Cups
* Lunch boxes
The best option depends on the product and how it is used. The important principle is to avoid unnecessary waste.
----
=== 12. How Can We Reduce Plastic Pollution? ===
Everyone can take practical steps.
==== A. Refuse Unnecessary Plastic ====
If you do not need a disposable plastic item, avoid taking it.
==== B. Reduce Plastic Use ====
Choose products with less unnecessary packaging when practical.
==== C. Reuse ====
Use suitable durable products more than once.
==== D. Recycle ====
Separate recyclable plastic according to local collection requirements.
==== E. Dispose Properly ====
Put plastic waste into the correct waste container rather than throwing it on the ground.
==== F. Keep Waterways Clean ====
Never throw plastic into rivers, lakes, wetlands, drainage channels, or other water bodies.
----
=== 13. Plastic Pollution at School ===
Students can help reduce plastic pollution at school.
They can:
* Carry reusable water bottles.
* Avoid unnecessary disposable packaging.
* Use rubbish bins correctly.
* Separate recyclable waste where a recycling system exists.
* Participate in clean-up activities.
* Encourage classmates not to litter.
* Report overflowing rubbish bins to teachers or school administrators.
A clean school environment begins with responsible everyday habits.
----
=== 14. Plastic Pollution in the Community ===
Communities can work together to reduce plastic pollution.
Useful actions include:
* Organising clean-up activities.
* Providing appropriate rubbish bins.
* Supporting waste collection.
* Encouraging reusable shopping bags.
* Educating residents about waste separation.
* Preventing dumping in drainage channels.
* Supporting responsible recycling initiatives.
Businesses can also help by reducing unnecessary packaging and improving the collection and management of plastic waste.
----
=== 15. The Plastic Pollution Solution ===
There is no single solution to plastic pollution.
A successful approach involves several actions:
'''Prevent → Reduce → Reuse → Recycle → Dispose safely'''
This means we should think about waste '''before''' we create it.
For example:<blockquote>Instead of buying a disposable plastic bottle every day, a person may carry a suitable reusable bottle and refill it with safe drinking water.</blockquote>Small changes repeated by many people can make a significant difference.
----
=== 16. Practical Activity: Plastic Audit ===
==== Activity ====
For one day, collect or record the plastic waste produced by your household or class.
Group the items into categories such as:
* Bottles
* Bags
* Wrappers
* Containers
* Other plastic items
Then discuss:
# Which type of plastic waste was most common?
# Which items could have been avoided?
# Which items could be reused?
# Which items could potentially be recycled?
# How could your household or class produce less plastic waste?
Create a '''“Plastic Reduction Plan”''' with three actions that your class can follow for one month.
----
=== 17. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Plastic:''' A group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials made mainly from polymers.
'''Plastic pollution:''' The accumulation or presence of plastic waste in the environment in ways that cause harm or environmental problems.
'''Microplastic:''' A very small plastic particle, generally less than 5 millimetres in size.
'''Recycle:''' To process used materials so they can be used to make new products.
'''Reuse:''' To use an item again instead of throwing it away.
'''Litter:''' Waste that has been carelessly discarded in the environment.
'''Waste management:''' The collection, sorting, treatment, recovery, and safe disposal of waste.
'''Biodegradable:''' Able to break down naturally through biological processes.
----
=== 18. Questions for Discussion ===
# What is plastic pollution?
# Give five examples of plastic items used in your community.
# How can plastic enter rivers and lakes?
# How can plastic harm animals?
# What are microplastics?
# Why is burning plastic in open fires a problem?
# What is the difference between reusing and recycling?
# How can students reduce plastic waste at school?
# Why should plastic not be thrown into drainage channels?
# What three actions can your community take to reduce plastic pollution?
----
=== 19. Summary ===
Plastic is a useful material, but poor management of plastic waste can cause pollution on land and in water.
Plastic waste can block drainage systems, damage habitats, harm animals, and break down into microplastics. Burning plastic in open fires can also release harmful pollutants.
We can reduce plastic pollution by following the principles of:
'''Refuse → Reduce → Reuse → Recycle → Dispose safely'''
Everyone has a role to play. At home, at school, in markets, and throughout our communities, responsible choices can help keep our environment clean.<blockquote>'''Use plastic wisely, keep it out of nature, and give every piece of waste the right place.'''</blockquote>
== Chapter 6: Our Changing World ==
=== Introduction ===
The Earth is our home. It provides us with air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and land on which we live and work. The Earth's climate also affects plants, animals, agriculture, and human activities.
Today, the Earth's climate is changing. '''Climate change''' refers to long-term changes in the average conditions of the Earth's climate, including changes in temperature, rainfall, and weather patterns.
Climate has changed naturally throughout Earth's history. However, human activities have caused a significant increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the current warming of the planet.
Understanding climate change helps us make informed choices about how to protect people, communities, and the natural environment.
----
=== 1. What Is Climate? ===
'''Climate''' is the usual pattern of weather in a particular place over a long period.
Climate includes things such as:
* Temperature
* Rainfall
* Humidity
* Wind
* Seasons
For example, one rainy day tells us about '''weather''', while the typical pattern of rainfall over many years tells us about '''climate'''.
=== Weather and Climate ===
'''Weather:''' What the atmosphere is like over a short period.
'''Climate:''' The long-term pattern of atmospheric conditions.
A simple way to remember this is:<blockquote>'''Weather is what we experience today; climate is the pattern we observe over many years.'''</blockquote>
----
=== 2. What Is Climate Change? ===
'''Climate change''' is a long-term change in the Earth's climate.
It can involve changes in:
* Average temperatures
* Rainfall patterns
* The frequency or intensity of some extreme weather events
* Sea levels
* Glaciers and ice
* Oceans and ecosystems
Climate change is not simply about the Earth becoming warmer every day. Different regions can experience different changes.
----
=== 3. The Greenhouse Effect ===
The Earth's atmosphere contains gases called '''greenhouse gases'''.
Important greenhouse gases include:
* Carbon dioxide
* Methane
* Nitrous oxide
* Water vapour
These gases help keep the Earth warm enough for life. This natural process is called the '''greenhouse effect'''.
Without the natural greenhouse effect, Earth would be much colder.
The problem is that human activities have increased the concentrations of several greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This strengthens the greenhouse effect and causes additional warming.
----
=== 4. Causes of Modern Climate Change ===
Human activities are the main cause of the recent long-term warming of the Earth's climate.
Major sources of greenhouse gas emissions include:
==== A. Burning Fossil Fuels ====
Coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to produce energy for:
* Electricity
* Transport
* Industry
* Heating and cooking
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
==== B. Deforestation ====
Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. When forests are destroyed, this carbon-storage capacity is reduced, and carbon can also be released into the atmosphere.
==== C. Agriculture ====
Agriculture can produce greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide.
Sources include:
* Livestock
* Rice cultivation
* Fertiliser use
* Management of agricultural soils
==== D. Industry ====
Some industrial processes release greenhouse gases directly or use large amounts of fossil-fuel energy.
==== E. Waste ====
Poorly managed waste can produce greenhouse gases. For example, organic waste decomposing without enough oxygen in landfills can generate methane.
----
=== 5. Signs of a Changing Climate ===
Scientists use observations from many parts of the world to study climate change.
Evidence includes:
* Rising global average temperatures
* Warming oceans
* Melting glaciers and ice sheets
* Rising sea levels
* Changes in some ecosystems
* Changes in the timing or distribution of some biological events
These changes occur over long periods, so scientists use measurements collected over many years.
----
=== 6. Climate Change and Water ===
Climate change can affect water resources.
Changes in temperature and rainfall can influence:
* Rivers
* Lakes
* Groundwater
* Soil moisture
* Water availability
Some areas may experience heavier rainfall or flooding, while others may experience longer or more severe dry periods.
Changes in water availability can affect households, agriculture, animals, and ecosystems.
----
=== 7. Climate Change and Agriculture ===
Agriculture depends heavily on climate.
Farmers need suitable:
* Rainfall
* Temperatures
* Soil conditions
* Growing seasons
Climate change can make farming more difficult when rainfall becomes less predictable or temperatures become unsuitable for certain crops.
Farmers can respond through '''adaptation''', such as:
* Planting drought-tolerant crops where appropriate
* Improving water management
* Using soil-conservation methods
* Adjusting planting dates
* Diversifying crops and livelihoods
The best adaptation measures depend on local conditions.
----
=== 8. Climate Change and Animals ===
Animals depend on suitable habitats, food, water, and temperatures.
As climate conditions change, some species may:
* Move to new areas
* Change feeding or breeding patterns
* Face greater pressure from habitat changes
* Become more vulnerable to disease or other environmental stresses
Species that cannot adapt or move quickly enough may face increased risks.
Protecting natural habitats can help wildlife cope with environmental changes.
----
=== 9. Climate Change and Forests ===
Forests are important in the fight against climate change.
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store carbon in their:
* Trunks
* Branches
* Leaves
* Roots
* Soil
Forests also provide habitats, protect soil, support water systems, and provide resources for communities.
Protecting forests and managing them sustainably can therefore provide both environmental and social benefits.
----
=== 10. Climate Change and Human Health ===
Climate change can affect human health in several ways.
For example, changes in temperature can increase heat-related risks. Flooding can damage homes and sanitation systems, while drought can affect food and water supplies.
Climate change can also influence the conditions under which some disease-carrying organisms survive and spread.
The effects are not the same everywhere. Local conditions, healthcare systems, infrastructure, and people's ability to adapt all matter.
----
=== 11. Climate Change and Extreme Weather ===
Climate change does not cause every individual weather event.
However, warming can influence the likelihood or intensity of '''some''' extreme events.
Examples include:
* Heatwaves
* Heavy rainfall
* Flooding
* Droughts
The relationship differs between types of events and locations, so scientists study individual events and regions carefully.
----
=== 12. What Is Climate Change Adaptation? ===
'''Adaptation''' means adjusting to actual or expected climate changes in order to reduce harm or take advantage of possible opportunities.
Examples include:
* Building stronger drainage systems.
* Protecting wetlands.
* Improving water storage.
* Growing crops suited to changing conditions.
* Planting trees for shade.
* Developing early-warning systems for dangerous weather.
* Improving building designs.
Adaptation helps communities prepare for changes that are already occurring or expected.
----
=== 13. What Is Climate Change Mitigation? ===
'''Mitigation''' means reducing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing the amount of greenhouse gases removed from the atmosphere.
Examples include:
* Using renewable energy such as solar and wind power.
* Improving energy efficiency.
* Using public transport where practical.
* Walking or cycling for suitable journeys.
* Protecting and restoring forests.
* Reducing unnecessary waste.
* Improving waste management.
* Developing lower-emission technologies.
Mitigation addresses the causes of climate change, while adaptation focuses on reducing the harm caused by its effects.
----
=== 14. What Can Students Do? ===
Students may not control large industries or national policies, but their everyday actions can contribute to environmental protection.
==== At School ====
Students can:
* Switch off unnecessary lights and electrical equipment.
* Avoid wasting paper.
* Walk or cycle where it is safe and practical.
* Use reusable items where appropriate.
* Plant and care for trees.
* Prevent littering.
* Protect school gardens and green spaces.
==== At Home ====
Families can:
* Use energy efficiently.
* Reduce unnecessary waste.
* Reuse suitable items.
* Avoid unnecessary burning of waste.
* Save water.
* Plant and care for appropriate trees.
* Choose lower-waste options where practical.
Individual actions are useful, but addressing climate change also requires action by communities, businesses, governments, and other institutions.
----
=== 15. Climate Change and Our Community ===
Communities can work together to become more resilient.
Useful activities include:
* Protecting forests and wetlands.
* Improving drainage.
* Maintaining clean water sources.
* Planting appropriate trees.
* Using sustainable farming practices.
* Preparing emergency plans.
* Sharing information about climate risks.
* Supporting reliable weather and early-warning information.
Local knowledge is also valuable. People who have lived in an area for many years may notice changes in rainfall, seasons, water availability, or farming conditions.
Combining local knowledge with scientific information can help communities plan effectively.
----
=== 16. A Greener Future ===
A changing climate presents challenges, but people can take action.
A greener future can involve:
* Clean and efficient energy
* Sustainable agriculture
* Protected forests
* Healthy wetlands
* Less waste
* Cleaner transport
* Efficient use of water
* Climate-resilient communities
Young people have an important role because today's decisions will affect the world they live in throughout their lives.
----
=== 17. Practical Activity: Observe Your Environment ===
==== Activity ====
Keep a simple weather diary for two weeks.
Each day, record:
* Temperature if a thermometer is available
* Whether it rained
* Approximate amount of rainfall if measurable
* Cloud conditions
* Wind conditions
* Any unusual weather observations
At the end of two weeks, discuss:
# Which days were rainy?
# Which days were dry?
# Did the weather change from day to day?
# Can two weeks of observations tell us the long-term climate of your area? Why or why not?
# Why do scientists need measurements collected over many years to study climate?
This activity helps students understand the difference between '''weather''' and '''climate'''.
----
=== 18. Key Vocabulary ===
'''Climate:''' The long-term pattern of weather conditions in a particular area.
'''Climate change:''' Long-term changes in the Earth's climate.
'''Greenhouse gas:''' A gas that absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

'''This page is for the BCS 201 Electric Rototiller made for Farmship Growers Cooperative/Haliburton Community Organic Farm.'''
The design of the tiller system was inspired by Reid Allaway of Tournesol cooperative, Reid runs the DIY electric farmer facebook group, that is a good place to find out about electric tractors.
The system is based around the following information
The motor, the motor is permanent magnet synchronous machine motor ME1509 from Motoenergy, an american company. PMSM are highly efficient when run at the correct RPM and torque, the diagram for the me1509 is not available though this one form the me1507 shows the idea
https://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/images/companies/1/ME1507dyno.pdf?1518651550248
the me1507 when run at 5000 rpm would be 100% efficient meaning that electrical power inputed would be fully applied as output power at the shaft.
The BCS 201 has a reduction gear box, 12:75 or ~ 7:1 reduction. The output RPM for a tiller should be about 540 rpm so with a 7:1 gear ratio 3780. I.e. the motor used should have high efficiency at 3780 RPM the motenergy 1509 is efficient in the range of 2500-3500 rpm so an ideal motor.
The power of the motor is determined by how much heat it can disappate as well as the input power. In theory since the windings of a motor are low resistance you can put as much energy into the motor as you would like, but it shouldn't overheat and melt the windings. So the motor power is essentially power in keeping in mind the rate at which the motor dissapates energy. So when making garden beds, check that the motor is not above ~70 C. It should feel warm but not feel like it is burning. It is possible to put a cycleanalyst display on the motor that can read the motor temperature as their is a sensor in the motor.
The battery for the electric tractor should output sufficent power to provide the necessary torque for doing the job at the tines. The gas motors on rototillers are typically 5-10 hp, a 5000 watt motor will output approximately 5.6 hp so in the correct range. At 3600 rpm the torque of 5000 watts motor (torque = power/RPM) is 13Nm, with the 7:1 reduction gear and an efficiency factor of .8 72.8Nm so in theory the 5kw motor will deliver the torque required. Reid Allaway designed a similar tiller and found that the motor was adequate to do the job with a kelly motor controller that delivers peak amps of 200. So a 48 volt battery (potential) with 100 ah (capacity) that can run at 2C (rate) will deliver 4000-8000 watts of power to the motor drive shaft (efficiency factor of .8 included)
The motor controller used in this project is a Cheetah motor controller. It is sinuoisdal brushless DC motor controller meaning it works from a computerized programming detecting the magnetic fields of the motor and not using commutator brushes. The control circuit is relatively simple as outlined
[https://media.kellycontroller.com/new/Kelly-Cheetah-series-KLS-SUserManual.pdf Kelly Cheetah Motor Controller Guide]
you can see on page 13 of the manual the circuit for connecting the motor controller to the motor
Important elements are a 200 amp fuse on the positive line of the controller that prevents overcurrent. The next element is a contactor that is has a coil that closes the circuit to the battery this is then connected to the battery pack and on the negative side of the pack to the low voltage.. The positive of the battery pack is also connected to a key witch then when closed powers the controller as well as the contactor coil. There's also the hall sensor connections to the motor which are the power, the three sensor signals and the ground.

'''This page is for the BCS 201 Electric Rototiller made for Farmship Growers Cooperative/Haliburton Community Organic Farm.'''
The design of the tiller system was inspired by Reid Allaway of Tournesol cooperative, Reid runs the DIY electric farmer facebook group, that is a good place to find out about electric tractors.
The system is based around the following information
The motor, the motor is permanent magnet synchronous machine motor ME1509 from Motoenergy, an american company. PMSM are highly efficient when run at the correct RPM and torque, the diagram for the me1509 is not available though this one form the me1507 shows the idea
https://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/images/companies/1/ME1507dyno.pdf?1518651550248
the me1507 when run at 5000 rpm would be 100% efficient meaning that electrical power inputed would be fully applied as output power at the shaft.
The BCS 201 has a reduction gear box, 12:75 or ~ 7:1 reduction. The output RPM for a tiller should be about 540 rpm so with a 7:1 gear ratio 3780. I.e. the motor used should have high efficiency at 3780 RPM the motenergy 1509 is efficient in the range of 2500-3500 rpm so an ideal motor.
The power of the motor is determined by how much heat it can disappate as well as the input power. In theory since the windings of a motor are low resistance you can put as much energy into the motor as you would like, but it shouldn't overheat and melt the windings. So the motor power is essentially power in keeping in mind the rate at which the motor dissapates energy. So when making garden beds, check that the motor is not above ~70 C. It should feel warm but not feel like it is burning. It is possible to put a cycleanalyst display on the motor that can read the motor temperature as their is a sensor in the motor.
The battery for the electric tractor should output sufficent power to provide the necessary torque for doing the job at the tines. The gas motors on rototillers are typically 5-10 hp, a 5000 watt motor will output approximately 5.6 hp so in the correct range. At 3600 rpm the torque of 5000 watts motor (torque = power/RPM) is 13Nm, with the 7:1 reduction gear and an efficiency factor of .8 72.8Nm so in theory the 5kw motor will deliver the torque required. Reid Allaway designed a similar tiller and found that the motor was adequate to do the job with a kelly motor controller that delivers peak amps of 200. So a 48 volt battery (potential) with 100 ah (capacity) that can run at 2C (rate) will deliver 4000-8000 watts of power to the motor drive shaft (efficiency factor of .8 included)
The motor controller used in this project is a Cheetah motor controller. It is sinuoisdal brushless DC motor controller meaning it works from a computerized programming detecting the magnetic fields of the motor and not using commutator brushes. The control circuit is relatively simple as outlined
[https://media.kellycontroller.com/new/Kelly-Cheetah-series-KLS-SUserManual.pdf Kelly Cheetah Motor Controller Guide]
you can see on page 13 of the manual the circuit for connecting the motor controller to the motor
Important elements are a 200 amp fuse on the positive line of the controller that prevents overcurrent. The next element is a contactor that is has a coil that closes the circuit to the battery this is then connected to the battery pack and on the negative side of the pack to the low voltage.. The positive of the battery pack is also connected to a key witch then when closed powers the controller as well as the contactor coil. There's also the hall sensor connections to the motor which are the power, the three sensor signals and the ground. Their is a directional switch which is determines the direction of the motor and a throttle and diode on the contactor coil which prevents current flow in reverse direction on the power input of the controller
In practice the circuit that runs the motor had two important glitches, first was proper electrical crimps, the kelly contoller connects are
automotive connectors '''they should be crimped by having the wire at the first set of tongs and the bare wire at the second, the covered wire secures the crimp in place and the bare wire connects. One of the connectors is currently partially loose and should be plug and secured tightly to start up the tractor. This will need to be repeated all connections are secure.'''
The motor itself is connected to the gearbox by an adaptor plate, the motor driveshaft should be centered on the bearing exactly, this is tricky if you try as I did to line up the holes with measurement of the bolt holes, what worked was to machine the motor coupler to fit between the bearing and the motor shaft thus perfectly centering the plate. The motor is bolted to the plate by machining a square hole in the plate with the milling machine sufficienty wide to accomodate the motor shaft bolting the motor to the plate, the alignment occurs by aligning the plate to the gearbox pretty much at any angle but square is sastifying. '''Because the electronics are currently too close to the ground a new adaptor plate will need to be machined with the plate to the side. Motor connections need to contained with a sock that is sewed.\'''
'''Battery Frame'''
The frame was built in a bit of slipshod manner by bolting together. A key idea is to have battery swap allowing for extended work times by swapping batteries. The current situation is a 15 amp charger that can charge the 100 ah battery in ~ 7 hours a level '''a 32 amp level 2 charger could be installed on farmships current electrical system''', this would allow for full charge in just over three hours, a system like this could also charge 4 batteries on an overnight charge that would allow for 4 hours of working time during the day. It would be possible to carry '''two batteries''' on the tractor at once. '''The comment was the center of mass of the tractor was too high. Rotating the battery 90 degrees would help or two batteries on either side of the tractor would also be possible'''
'''Motor drive shaft'''
You can look at the drawings from the tractor manufacturer to see inside the gearbox. In the case of the BCS 201 their was a large reduction gear that connects to the motor driveshaft.
Gear
The first thing to do is to calculate the module of the gear. Module is the ratio of the diameter of the gear to the number of teeth. (m=d/z) (d in millimetres) If you think about the relationship circumference = pi*d this gives you the idea that the module is essentially the inverse of the number of teeth per millimeter of circumference divided by pi. this is confusing to me as well, but what I am trying to say is that for two gears to mesh they should have the same module. I initially 3d printed a gear that I designed in cad, problem with this is that it sheared apart immediately after applying the motor torque. Theirs also the pressure angle of the gear, which is the angle between the circumference tangent and the gear tooth profile, essentially the sharpness of the gear. It should again match as close as possible. In the end I purchased a gear from aliexpress that was module 2 twelve teeth with pressure angle 20 that is standard. I'll come back to the gear
Shaft
The shaft is the simplest part, to extend the motor driveshaft you need a piece of keyed motor stock that is the same diameter of your motor axle, it can be to length to fit inside the gearbox, thiniking of it now I realize the original motor shaft was resting on a bearing to increase strength, something that I didn't acheive by shortening the shaft, '''probably should lengthen the drive shaft to rest on the bearing on the far side of gearbox.'''
Coupler
Coupler, the standard way of attaching a coupler is with a set screw from the side, pressumably into the keyed shaft.
I'll get to this soon but basically we machined the coupler to fit in the bearing of the gearbox so tight that it didn't slip, put a key in the motor shaft and axle and then spot welded motor shaft to the coupler, not pretty but hey it worked. {{shelves}}

== Section D practice tasks / predictions ==
=== Input validation ===
Currently the player can enter data in response to __ChoosePile() (real exam question tell you where to intervene) that will break the game.
🌶️Assume the user will enter an int, but keep on asking the coordinate until it is within the bounds.
🌶️🌶️ the user can't be trusted to not drool on the keyboard or smth. also check it's an int. If it isn't you should display an error message - feel free to make it very sarcastic, before asking the coordinate again
=== The one that explains from math import sqrt ===
⚠️The fact we go in with N piles, then need to import mths sqrt may indicate a task using sqrt, which would hint at a task using it. Given the setup, this has got to be distance between two piles. Hence:
🌶️🌶️🌶️Change the scoring of a matching pair by adding to the tile scores the distance between the two matched piles, rounded down to the nearest integer.
==== Test ====
TK -
=== Pile clear bonus ===
The game supports ''almost'' everything so that when a player match empties a pile, they get a bonus score. The one thing that's missing is in the scoring.
🌶️🌶️ Change the scoring so that if a match empties a pile, the bonus for the pile is awarded to the player. You'll need to add a getter for Pile._Bonus.
==== Test ====
Two cases, as it's possible to empty one or both piles with a match.
-game1 tells you which piles have the same sequence, that will give you a match that should score both bonus
- there's a test sequence to be found that will have one of the player score a single match.
=== Making the game both more and less boring ===
At the moment -certainly in the early game, the default game can be a bit boring, because every pile is the same: an A-tile, for one point a B tile for 2, another A,1. We can make the game less boring, but also longer, so more boring:
👉 Instead of the default game have all the same piles, keep the same proportion (that's 72 A,1, 36 B,2), but build the pile at random. Basic: If you use a random draw, the game might end up not being endable by zero tiles, but no one gets that far anyway.
Fancy: actually draw 72 A1 and 36 B2, as if from a pile of tile, to randomly make the board
=== Party mode ===
The architecture of the game, and what's visible in game1.txt means the game can support an arbitrary number of players.
It is just that both the hard-coded default mode and the save file happen to have two players
It's lucky, because although any player can hit the maximum score at which the game ends, the winner is always whoever between player 1 and 2 has the highest score, which is enough to run a 6-player AQA skeleton code gaming night like many Y13 enjoy. So you'll need to fix that.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ When starting a default game, it should default to a 6x6 board, and whatever basic pile o' tiles layout we're running (see 'making the game both more and less boring'), but then ask for number of players (validate for an int >0), then, for each, their names (no validation).
You will need to fix the scoring bug, although testing that would require engineering a three-way game that ends with a win of the third one.
=== Saving ===
If you've read the code closely, you'll have noticed the game1.txt is not just a description of game ''configuration'' - it is in fact a game ''save.'' If you've just run the game, you won't have noticed, because game1 is a save at the very start of the game. So they've given you a ''load'' function. Do you see what's coming over the horizon?
👉Add a new menu item "S Save game". This should then call a new method on the Game class, which asks the user for a savename, and writes the game to a file, appending .txt, in the format of game1.txt - here too, you'll need a Pile.GetBonus().

== Section D practice / predicted tasks ==
=== Input validation [high confidence] ===
Currently the player can enter data in response to __ChoosePile() (real exam question tell you where to intervene) that will break the game.
🌶️Assume the user will enter an int, but keep on asking the coordinate until it is within the bounds.
🌶️🌶️ the user can't be trusted to not drool on the keyboard or smth. also check it's an int. If it isn't you should display an error message - feel free to make it very sarcastic, before asking the coordinate again
=== The one that explains from math import sqrt [high confidence] ===
⚠️The fact we go in with N piles, then need to import mths sqrt may indicate a task using sqrt, which would hint at a task using it. Given the setup, this has got to be distance between two piles. Hence:
🌶️🌶️🌶️Change the scoring of a matching pair by adding to the tile scores the distance between the two matched piles, rounded down to the nearest integer.
==== Test ====
TK -
=== Pile clear bonus [high confidence] ===
The game supports ''almost'' everything so that when a player match empties a pile, they get a bonus score. The one thing that's missing is in the scoring.
🌶️🌶️ Change the scoring so that if a match empties a pile, the bonus for the pile is awarded to the player. You'll need to add a getter for Pile._Bonus.
==== Test ====
Two cases, as it's possible to empty one or both piles with a match.
-game1 tells you which piles have the same sequence, that will give you a match that should score both bonus
- there's a test sequence to be found that will have one of the player score a single match.
=== Saving [med-high confidence] ===
If you've read the code closely, you'll have noticed the game1.txt is not just a description of game ''configuration'' - it is in fact a game ''save.'' If you've just run the game, you won't have noticed, because game1 is a save at the very start of the game. So they've given you a ''load'' function. Do you see what's coming over the horizon?
👉Add a new menu item "S Save game". This should then call a new method on the Game class, which asks the user for a savename, and writes the game to a file, appending .txt, in the format of game1.txt - here too, you'll need a Pile.GetBonus().
=== Making the game both more and less boring [low, but good practice] ===
At the moment -certainly in the early game, the default game can be a bit boring, because every pile is the same: an A-tile, for one point a B tile for 2, another A,1. We can make the game less boring, but also longer, so more boring:
👉 Instead of the default game have all the same piles, keep the same proportion (that's 72 A,1, 36 B,2), but build the pile at random. Basic: If you use a random draw, the game might end up not being endable by zero tiles, but no one gets that far anyway.
Fancy: actually draw 72 A1 and 36 B2, as if from a pile of tile, to randomly make the board
=== Party mode [low-mid confidence] ===
The architecture of the game, and what's visible in game1.txt means the game can support an arbitrary number of players.
It is just that both the hard-coded default mode and the save file happen to have two players
It's lucky, because although any player can hit the maximum score at which the game ends, the winner is always whoever between player 1 and 2 has the highest score, which is enough to run a 6-player AQA skeleton code gaming night like many Y13 enjoy. So you'll need to fix that.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ When starting a default game, it should default to a 6x6 board, and whatever basic pile o' tiles layout we're running (see 'making the game both more and less boring'), but then ask for number of players (validate for an int >0), then, for each, their names (no validation).
You will need to fix the scoring bug, although testing that would require engineering a three-way game that ends with a win of the third one.

This year Skeleton Program is called "Pile O' Tiles", a two player (arguably multiplayer, see below) version of the classic match-2 memory game.</blockquote>
== From AQA's preliminary material document: ==
<blockquote>Piles O’ Tiles is a tile matching memory game. The board consists of a two-dimensional grid containing piles of tiles. The tiles are face-down so
players cannot see what is on the tiles. Each tile has a symbol (an uppercase letter) and a points value. Players take it in turn to choose two piles. The top tile of those two piles is turned over so that all
players can see what is on those tiles. If the two tiles have the same symbol on them then they are removed from the piles and the points
for the two tiles are added to the player’s score. The two tiles are then added to a discard. If the two tiles do not have the same symbol on them then they are turned face-down again and put
back on the piles they came from. When the game ends the player with the highest score is the winner. In the Skeleton Program the board is shown as a two-dimensional grid with x and y coordinates.
Each pile is shown as an integer value that denotes the number of tiles currently in the pile.</blockquote>
Then a diagram showing the game's display, with a 6x6 board, rendered as a grid with the origin in the bottom left, row numbers on the left, and column numbers on the bottom<blockquote>In the Skeleton Program there is a default version of the game that uses a 6×6 grid. It is also
possible to load a game from a file. The Data File game1.txt contains a game that can be loaded
instead of using the default game. </blockquote>The AQA doc has the content of game1.txt, but we can do better.

== Introduction ==
{{Wikipedia|Indian Railways|Rail transport in India|Indian Railways coaching stock}}
'''Indian Railways''' ''is the national railway system of India and one of the largest railway networks in the world. It operates under the administrative control of the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, and is responsible for the country’s rail transport infrastructure, rolling stock, and operations''. Since the first passenger train ran in
1853, Indian Railways has grown into a vast, complex system that connects urban centers, industrial hubs, and remote regions, serving as a main artery for India’s economy, mobility, and social integration.

== About the Book ==
* The book was made by [[User:ActStuffOGWiki|ActStuffOGWiki]] (feat. '''Rishi Iyer''')
* The book was made because Indian Railway books were not common and topics about [[Shelf:India|India]] barely exist in [[Wikibooks]].
* The book is just a hobby and ActStuffOGWiki's first book. '''Don't take anything in the book too seriously'''.
* You can use this book for citations in [[Wikipedia]] and other self-published books.

== Introduction ==
'''Indian Railways''' uses several trains and several terms for them. Some names describe the service level, such as Rajdhani or Shatabdi. Other names describe the coach design, such as LHB or ICF. Freight vehicles are commonly identified by codes such as BOXN, BCN, BTPN and BOBRN. These codes provide useful information about the wagon’s basic design and purpose. Indian Railways also has lots of manufacturers such as CLW, BLW and BHEL that manufacture and assemble these trains.
The railway system is continuously changing. Older locomotive-hauled trains still operate alongside modern trainsets, electric locomotives, LHB coaches, semi-high-speed services and specialized freight wagons. Production units of Indian Railways manufacture much of this equipment, while public-sector and private companies supply additional locomotives, coaches, wagons, components and systems. The Railway Board’s production-unit lists include manufacturers such as CLW, BLW, ICF, RCF, RWF, PLW, MCF and Rail Wheel Plant, Bela.
A railway train is not a single type of vehicle. It is usually a group of vehicles designed for a particular purpose. A passenger train may contain coaches for seating, sleeping, catering, luggage and braking. A freight train may contain wagons designed for coal, minerals, grain, cement, vehicles or containers. Locomotives provide the tractive force, while coaches and wagons carry passengers or goods.

== Terms to Know ==
The word “train” can mean either a service or a physical formation. A Rajdhani Express is a named passenger service. A rake is the actual group of coaches assigned to that service. A locomotive-hauled rake may have an electric locomotive at one end and passenger coaches behind it. A trainset, such as a Vande Bharat trainset, contains powered and unpowered coaches designed to work together.
A "manufacturer" is an organization that produces railway equipment. A production unit is a railway-owned factory or workshop established for a particular manufacturing purpose. A private company may manufacture wagons or components under contracts, while a public-sector company may produce locomotives, coaches, wheels or wagons.
Not every train name represents a completely different mechanical design. Two services with different names may use similar LHB coaches, while one service may use different coach types on different routes. Conversely, a service name may remain the same even when its coaches, locomotive or timetable changes. In reality, “popular trains” and “important trains” are not engineering categories. They refer to widely recognized passenger services and service families that have played an important role in Indian Railways. {{BookCat}}

=== Vande Bharat Express ===
''See also: [[wikipedia:Vande_Bharat_(Indian_Railways)|Train 18]] and [[wikipedia:Vande_Bharat_Express|Vande Bharat Express]]''
Vande Bharat Express is an indigenous electric trainset developed for faster intercity travel. It is designed as a self-propelled train rather than a conventional rake pulled by a separate locomotive. Traction equipment is distributed among several coaches, allowing the train to accelerate efficiently and avoid the need for locomotive reversal at terminal stations.
[[File:Vande Bharat Express around Mumbai.jpg|thumb|309x309px|'''Credit: Harshul12345.''' A Vande Bharat Express (classic) near Mumbai CSMT. ]]
Vande Bharat trains generally provide air-conditioned seating, automatic or semi-automatic doors, onboard information systems, modern toilets, improved interiors and a higher level of passenger convenience than ordinary day trains. Different versions may have different seating arrangements, coach numbers and operational features.
The train is intended mainly for daytime intercity journeys. It is not normally a sleeping train. Its usefulness depends not only on maximum speed but also on track condition, signaling, station stops, traffic density, maintenance and timetable planning.
Vande Bharat is important because it represents a shift from traditional locomotive-hauled passenger trains toward trainset operation. It also demonstrates the increasing role of Indian production units and domestic suppliers in train design and assembly.

Rajdhani Express services connect New Delhi with important state capitals and major cities. They are traditionally associated with long-distance overnight travel, high priority, air-conditioned accommodation and included catering in many arrangements.

Rajdhani trains usually use air-conditioned coaches, including sleeping accommodation in first AC, second AC and third AC. Some services may include pantry or catering arrangements. The exact composition can vary by route and operational requirement.
Rajdhani services were created to provide fast connections between Delhi and major regional centers. Their schedules usually give them priority over many ordinary passenger services, although actual punctuality depends on congestion, maintenance, weather and operating conditions.
For your information, the word “Rajdhani” identifies a service family, not one universal coach design. Older Rajdhani rakes used conventional designs, while many services have progressively adopted LHB coaches and newer interior systems.{{BookCat}}

Shatabdi coaches normally include air-conditioned chair cars, with executive chair car available on many services. Meals or refreshments may be provided depending on the service and ticket arrangement.
Shatabdi trains are often valued for their convenient daytime schedules. They are particularly useful for journeys that are too long for ordinary commuter trains but short enough to complete during the day.
Like other named services, a Shatabdi may use different coach generations over its history. The service name does not by itself specify whether a particular train uses an older coach, an LHB coach or another modern configuration.

Jan Shatabdi trains are generally lower-cost daytime intercity services related to the Shatabdi concept. They usually emphasize reserved sitting accommodation and wider accessibility.
Many Jan Shatabdi services include air-conditioned chair cars along with non-air-conditioned sitting coaches. The composition depends on demand, route and railway planning.
They are often useful for medium-distance journeys where passengers want a faster service than ordinary passenger trains but do not require a premium all-air-conditioned train. {{BookCat}}

Duronto services may be fully air-conditioned or may include several classes, depending on the route. Some operate overnight with sleeping coaches, while others serve longer daytime or mixed travel patterns.
The practical advantage of a Duronto service is reduced stopping time. However, its journey duration depends on the route, traffic conditions, locomotive changes, operational halts and timetable revisions.

== Introduction ==
'''Indian Railways''' uses several trains and several terms for them. Some names describe the service level, such as Rajdhani or Shatabdi. Other names describe the coach design, such as LHB or ICF. Freight vehicles are commonly identified by codes such as BOXN, BCN, BTPN and BOBRN. These codes provide useful information about the wagon’s basic design and purpose. Indian Railways also has lots of manufacturers such as CLW, BLW and BHEL that manufacture and assemble these trains.
The railway system is continuously changing. Older locomotive-hauled trains still operate alongside modern trainsets, electric locomotives, LHB coaches, semi-high-speed services and specialized freight wagons. Production units of Indian Railways manufacture much of this equipment, while public-sector and private companies supply additional locomotives, coaches, wagons, components and systems. The Railway Board’s production-unit lists include manufacturers such as CLW, BLW, ICF, RCF, RWF, PLW, MCF and Rail Wheel Plant, Bela.
A railway train is not a single type of vehicle. It is usually a group of vehicles designed for a particular purpose. A passenger train may contain coaches for seating, sleeping, catering, luggage and braking. A freight train may contain wagons designed for coal, minerals, grain, cement, vehicles or containers. Locomotives provide the tractive force, while coaches and wagons carry passengers or goods.
== Terms to Know ==
The word “train” can mean either a service or a physical formation. A Rajdhani Express is a named passenger service. A rake is the actual group of coaches assigned to that service. A locomotive-hauled rake may have an electric locomotive at one end and passenger coaches behind it. A trainset, such as a Vande Bharat trainset, contains powered and unpowered coaches designed to work together.
A "manufacturer" is an organization that produces railway equipment. A production unit is a railway-owned factory or workshop established for a particular manufacturing purpose. A private company may manufacture wagons or components under contracts, while a public-sector company may produce locomotives, coaches, wheels or wagons.
Not every train name represents a completely different mechanical design. Two services with different names may use similar LHB coaches, while one service may use different coach types on different routes. Conversely, a service name may remain the same even when its coaches, locomotive or timetable changes. In reality, “popular trains” and “important trains” are not engineering categories. They refer to widely recognized passenger services and service families that have played an important role in Indian Railways.
== Passenger Train Expresses ==
=== Vande Bharat Express ===
''See also: [[wikipedia:Vande_Bharat_(Indian_Railways)|Train 18]] and [[wikipedia:Vande_Bharat_Express|Vande Bharat Express]]''
Vande Bharat Express is an indigenous electric trainset developed for faster intercity travel. It is designed as a self-propelled train rather than a conventional rake pulled by a separate locomotive. Traction equipment is distributed among several coaches, allowing the train to accelerate efficiently and avoid the need for locomotive reversal at terminal stations.
[[File:Vande Bharat Express around Mumbai.jpg|thumb|309x309px|'''Credit: Harshul12345.''' A Vande Bharat Express (classic) near Mumbai CSMT. ]]
Vande Bharat trains generally provide air-conditioned seating, automatic or semi-automatic doors, onboard information systems, modern toilets, improved interiors and a higher level of passenger convenience than ordinary day trains. Different versions may have different seating arrangements, coach numbers and operational features.
The train is intended mainly for daytime intercity journeys. It is not normally a sleeping train. Its usefulness depends not only on maximum speed but also on track condition, signaling, station stops, traffic density, maintenance and timetable planning.
Vande Bharat is important because it represents a shift from traditional locomotive-hauled passenger trains toward trainset operation. It also demonstrates the increasing role of Indian production units and domestic suppliers in train design and assembly.
=== Rajdhani Express ===
''See also: [[wikipedia:Rajdhani_Express|Rajdhani Express]]''
Rajdhani Express services connect New Delhi with important state capitals and major cities. They are traditionally associated with long-distance overnight travel, high priority, air-conditioned accommodation and included catering in many arrangements.
[[File:22222 Rajdhani Express.jpg|thumb|300x300px|'''Credit: Heyranjeet.''' An iconic Rajdhani Express called CR Rajdhani (22222). It is the first and only push-pull Rajdhani Express in India. ]]
Rajdhani trains usually use air-conditioned coaches, including sleeping accommodation in first AC, second AC and third AC. Some services may include pantry or catering arrangements. The exact composition can vary by route and operational requirement.
Rajdhani services were created to provide fast connections between Delhi and major regional centers. Their schedules usually give them priority over many ordinary passenger services, although actual punctuality depends on congestion, maintenance, weather and operating conditions.
For your information, the word “Rajdhani” identifies a service family, not one universal coach design. Older Rajdhani rakes used conventional designs, while many services have progressively adopted LHB coaches and newer interior systems.
=== Shatabdi Express ===
''See also: [[wikipedia:Shatabdi_Express|Shatabdi Express]]''
Shatabdi Express trains are generally daytime intercity services. They commonly connect major cities with important regional centers and offer reserved sitting accommodation instead of sleeping berths.
[[File:WAP5 ^30014 of Ghaziabad with 12004 Swarn Shatabdi - Flickr - Dr. Santulan Mahanta.jpg|thumb|267x267px|'''Credit: Santulan Mahanta.''' A WAP-5 locomotive pulling Swarna Jayanti Shatabdi Express (12029). ]]
Shatabdi coaches normally include air-conditioned chair cars, with executive chair car available on many services. Meals or refreshments may be provided depending on the service and ticket arrangement.
Shatabdi trains are often valued for their convenient daytime schedules. They are particularly useful for journeys that are too long for ordinary commuter trains but short enough to complete during the day.
Like other named services, a Shatabdi may use different coach generations over its history. The service name does not by itself specify whether a particular train uses an older coach, an LHB coach or another modern configuration.
=== Jan Shatabdi Express ===
''See also: [[wikipedia:Jan_Shatabdi_Express|Jan Shatabdi Express]]''
[[File:12052 Dadar Madgaon Jan Shatabdi Express at Madgaon Station.jpg|thumb|300x300px|'''Credit: Superfast1111.''' A rare, ICF Jan Shatabdi rake of the Dadar to Madgaon Jan Shatabdi Express (12052). ]]
Jan Shatabdi trains are generally lower-cost daytime intercity services related to the Shatabdi concept. They usually emphasize reserved sitting accommodation and wider accessibility.
Many Jan Shatabdi services include air-conditioned chair cars along with non-air-conditioned sitting coaches. The composition depends on demand, route and railway planning.
They are often useful for medium-distance journeys where passengers want a faster service than ordinary passenger trains but do not require a premium all-air-conditioned train.
=== Duronto Express ===

[[File:TPTY JAT Humsafar.jpg|thumb|300x300px|'''Credit: Nikhil B.''' Jammu Tawi Humsafar Express with full Humsafar livery leaving Kazipet Junction. ]]
Humsafar Express services were introduced as air-conditioned sleeping trains. They are mainly associated with third AC accommodation and long-distance overnight travel.
Humsafar coaches have features such as improved interiors, charging facilities and passenger information arrangements compared with many older conventional coaches. Some services may use specialized Humsafar coach formations, while the precise facilities can vary.
Humsafar trains were intended to provide a modern air-conditioned option at a level positioned between ordinary sleeper services and more premium services. The actual fare and onboard arrangements depend on railway policy and the specific train. {{BookCat}}
