I want to correct, it is the Webmaster!

Walking the portage trail at Gorham Hydro Station, I found myself caught up in a web of intrigue.

This female Garden Cross Spider seemed to be struggling to put her web into a good state of repair at Newchurch on the 10th August 2016.

The Webmaster takes a rest.

 

I thought about spraying some water on the web, but I thought that might send the spider scampering away.

For about 2-3 years running we did training workshops in the Washington, DC area (specifically Bethesda, if I recall correctly), teaching US federal employees how to deal with this crazy new "World Wide Web" thing.

 

Here's me hard at work uploading pictures for my new website! (coming soon)

A bit about me:

 

I just retired from the military. I was a Navy Seal for over 20 years.

 

Now I work as a Product Sampling Technician at Hormel foods.

 

I love to play Socom 3 online on PlayStation 2, my screen name is Moose007. Please feel free to add me to your friend's list.

 

Bye bye!

  

amor supera tudo...

This is a campera toss of the outside of a building during the day that had square blocks... The rolling shutter effect really worked here...

Outside in the front yard in between the Yellow Lantana Blossoms. I noticed this large Banana Spider making a web to snare insects. I got in close with my 60mm Macro lens and could see it was getting nervous and also see it shooting me with it's web.

Thanks for all your wonderful support on my work in Photography,

Apart from the fact that it's a spider, I don't know what it is.

Hopefully Callum might look in and identify it.

A tiny spider with very thin limbs was sitting on it's web and in my mind I thought of creating a different kind of effect from tweaking the White Balance and the use of a flash along with my macro gear. So, I sprayed some water on the spider [it's alive =D] for those water drops and bokeh effect created by the shallow DoF in macro. I set my WB to "cool" all the way and some dark and shadows adjustment in LR.

For a number of years I was the Webmaster for the Naval Academy Alumni Association, and as a result had an opportunity to see many football games from the sidelines as a photographer. The Army-Navy game was always the highlight of the year in terms of excitement, but since the game is always the last game of the year, inevitably ends up being the coldest game of the year.

 

This image is from the 1999 Army-Navy game, where my best friend was a pair of hand warmers worn inside my glove. I was shooting film, and since I was the one paying for the film, was not as carefree as the others shooting alongside me. Many sports photographers get excellent pictures not only because they have fast 500mm lenses (a few thousand dollars I never had), but also because each play they might take 15-20 shots. I would take three rolls of film with me, so after a little over 100 shots I would be done. This meant that I had to anticipate where the action would be, focus, and shoot at the right moment. When I switched to digital several years later, it actually became more difficult - since I did not have a digital SLR, it would take about half a second from the time I pressed the shutter to the time the shutter would open, so I would need to take my picture half a second before it happened.

 

Collision shots are always the best, though they are the most difficult to anticipate. This is a collision shot of a Navy defender breaking up a pass well down field. The guys with the 500mm lenses can pretty much plant themselves in one place and cover the entire field from there. The longest lens I had at the time was a 135mm lens, so that means that in the anticipation department I had to physically be close to where the action was. This was a challenge, but sometimes offered me results missed by a number of the other photographers on the sideline.

I was invited by Ed Ellis via Tom Mann, the webmaster of the www.chicagoswitching.com site, to document the first two days of the takeover by Chicago Terminal of the former CP Rail operation on Chicago's North Side.

 

That's engineer "Ken" by the switch. He was brought in to help with the first few months of operations from other parts of Iowa Pacific. The setting is just east of the Chicago River swing bridge on the Bloomingdale Line.

 

The spur on the far left or north went inside the Finkl building that faced Cortland.

Usually when I find these large Halloween spider webs in the woods, the spider is hiding under a leaf off to the side. I had good luck finding spiders this morning though, and this one is actually different from the one in my [Next] photo. This web is about two feet across. I believe the spider is genus Araneus, probably Araneus gemma or A. gemmoides. (These species are known to cross.) It came out on its web to wrap its prey, which appears to be a fly (Diptera), probably a Flesh Fly in the family Sarcophagidae. Happy Web Webnesday! (San Marcos Pass, 16 October 2019)

[Diamond D] Ninety-three it's time man

(All out yo, because youknowhatI'msayin..)

 

[Fat Joe]

A Grand Puba (HOE) Diamond D (HOE)

Fat Joe (HOE) -- it's time to get the dough!

Grand Puba (HOE) Diamond D (HOE)

Fat Joe (HOE) -- it's time to get the dough!

 

Boom bip, BAM, here I am

Even fans in Japan, be tellin me I'm the man

Fat Joe, a.k.a. the woman fucker

Beat you down to the ground, stomp your face with my Chucker

So niggaz back up, yo I'ma set it

Fuckin with me, you won't live to regret it

I don't fake moves, I break peeps

I'm takin niggaz gold chains, they cash and the Jeeps

See I don't give a fuck about a niggaz rep

We can go glock for glock or tec for tec, sheeeeyit

I heard a motherfucker wants to turn snitch

I cut the niggaz head off, and sent it to his fuckin bitch

I ain't lettin a nigga take the stand

Play Sammy the Bull, be one dead man

See suckers can't hang with the slang

And if they bring the whole gang

well then they'll all catch a bang-bang

I come from the Bronx and not the Boogie Down

Niggaz don't ever come and front in my part of town

See everybody knows my pedigree

There ain't another motherfuckers that's better than me

I could make em pump, I could make em jump

But I'm mostly known for givin other niggaz lumps

So niggaz better chill and maintain

I'm blowin motherfuckers out the frame

And if a nigga try to flex

Fuck around, and catch a motherfuckin suplex

I wet a motherfucker like a shower

Don't test the Puerto Rican power

Fat Joe in the year of ninety-three

Peace to Grand Pu', and my man Diamond D

So _Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down_

Yeah, but for now watch the sound

 

"Watch de sound when I tim-berr" (4X)

 

[Grand Puba]

Check it

Yo Fat Joe, it's time to fuckin flow

Niggaz know the game

It's time to blow the bitch-ass niggaz out the frame

Guess who comes to represent?

If you motherfuckers don't know, well here's a hint

It's the God and I still bag chicks

Make the girls feel hot, be like a faggot with the bag of dicks

So come on cause I'm comin for the basket

Say goodbye to your friends, and start headin for the casket

So Doogie make the daquiris; and light the chocolate

that you got from Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory

Let's squeeze a trigger for the nigga

See I flipped to the 'lo, cause I'm through with the Hilfiger

Cause I flips the flavor-loo

It's good for a fuck or two, you couldn't see this

no matter what the fuck you do

I smash that ass like a block of hash

Then I rob you for cash, you little bitch ass

 

"Watch de sound when I tim-berr" (4X)

 

[Diamond D]

Niggaz know the flav, I don't have to take a step

I earn my respect then quiet as kept

Yeah, guard your grill if you try to catch wreck

Smack the back of your neck, and take your YouthCore check

I make more dough than Gregory Peck

Never have to raise a fist, I keep my stunts in check

I play a nigga out, like a Las Vegas dealer

Living in the light, just like Karen Wheeler

So back up, and take a good look, because you should look

at what a good cook, can do without a fuckin cookbook

I don't sniff coke, and I don't smoke coolies

Even Italians say I'm one cool moolie

But niggaz call me JoJo

I'm quick to stick a chick, cause I kick the Willie BoBo

on the Northside, on the Southside, on the Westside

You can't budge me nigga, even the best tried

to pull a fast one, but you know what happened to the last one?

(What?) He got his motherfuckin ass done

(Yeah!) So step up, front, I'm not a bitch-ass chump

Chicks by the clicks, cause my pockets got the mumps

See I'm the wrong nigga to fuck with

Don't try to play yourself, cause you'll be stuck with

a motherfuckin ice pick right through the cheek

I'm leavin crab niggaz, layin in the street

I won't 'fess, walk around with a vest

Knockin niggaz off, cause I could care less

You want a fair one, FORGET IT

And your girlfriend, yo I let my man hit it

So save the bluff, you know you ain't tough (yeah)

I pull your card cause you're soft like fluff kid

I never ever did a bid

I punch a nigga down a Row named Skid

Google is an American multinational technology company focusing on search engine technology, online advertising, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing, e-commerce, artificial intelligence,[9] and consumer electronics. It has been referred to as "the most powerful company in the world"[10] and one of the world's most valuable brands due to its market dominance, data collection, and technological advantages in the area of artificial intelligence.[11][12][13] Its parent company Alphabet is considered one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.

Google was founded on September 4, 1998, by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were PhD students at Stanford University in California. Together they own about 14% of its publicly listed shares and control 56% of the stockholder voting power through super-voting stock. The company went public via an initial public offering (IPO) in 2004. In 2015, Google was reorganized as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. Google is Alphabet's largest subsidiary and is a holding company for Alphabet's Internet properties and interests. Sundar Pichai was appointed CEO of Google on October 24, 2015, replacing Larry Page, who became the CEO of Alphabet. On December 3, 2019, Pichai also became the CEO of Alphabet.[14]

The company has since rapidly grown to offer a multitude of products and services beyond Google Search, many of which hold dominant market positions. These products address a wide range of use cases, including email (Gmail), navigation (Waze & Maps), cloud computing (Cloud), web browsing (Chrome), video sharing (YouTube), productivity (Workspace), operating systems (Android), cloud storage (Drive), language translation (Translate), photo storage (Photos), video calling (Meet), smart home (Nest), smartphones (Pixel), wearable technology (Pixel Watch & Fitbit), music streaming (YouTube Music), video on demand (YouTube TV), artificial intelligence (Google Assistant), machine learning APIs (TensorFlow), AI chips (TPU), and more. Discontinued Google products include gaming (Stadia), Glass,[citation needed] Google+, Reader, Play Music, Nexus, Hangouts, and Inbox by Gmail.[15][16]

Google's other ventures outside of Internet services and consumer electronics include quantum computing (Sycamore), self-driving cars (Waymo, formerly the Google Self-Driving Car Project), smart cities (Sidewalk Labs), and transformer models (Google Brain).[17]

Google and YouTube are the two most visited websites worldwide followed by Facebook and Twitter. Google is also the largest search engine, mapping and navigation application, email provider, office suite, video sharing platform, photo and cloud storage provider, mobile operating system, web browser, ML framework, and AI virtual assistant provider in the world as measured by market share. On the list of most valuable brands, Google is ranked second by Forbes[18] and fourth by Interbrand.[19] It has received significant criticism involving issues such as privacy concerns, tax avoidance, censorship, search neutrality, antitrust and abuse of its monopoly position.

In March 1999, the company moved its offices to Palo Alto, California,[52] which is home to several prominent Silicon Valley technology start-ups.[53] The next year, Google began selling advertisements associated with search keywords against Page and Brin's initial opposition toward an advertising-funded search engine.[54][22] To maintain an uncluttered page design, advertisements were solely text-based.[55] In June 2000, it was announced that Google would become the default search engine provider for Yahoo!, one of the most popular websites at the time, replacing Inktomi.

 

In 2003, after outgrowing two other locations, the company leased an office complex from Silicon Graphics, at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, California.[59] The complex became known as the Googleplex, a play on the word googolplex, the number one followed by a googol zeroes. Three years later, Google bought the property from SGI for $319 million.[60] By that time, the name "Google" had found its way into everyday language, causing the verb "google" to be added to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary, denoted as: "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet".[61][62] The first use of the verb on television appeared in an October 2002 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[63]

Additionally, in 2001 Google's investors felt the need to have a strong internal management, and they agreed to hire Eric Schmidt as the chairman and CEO of Google.[49] Eric was proposed by John Doerr from Kleiner Perkins. He had been trying to find a CEO that Sergey and Larry would accept for several months, but they rejected several candidates because they wanted to retain control over the company. Michael Moritz from Sequoia Capital at one point even menaced requesting Google to immediately pay back Sequoia's $12.5m investment if they did not fulfill their promise to hire a chief executive office, which had been made verbally during investment negotiations. Eric wasn't initially enthusiastic about joining Google either, as the company's full potential hadn't yet been widely recognized at the time, and as he was occupied with his responsibilities at Novell where he was CEO. As part of him joining, Eric agreed to buy $1 million of Google preferred stocks as a way to show his commitment and to provide funds Google needed.

Google generates most of its revenues from advertising. This includes sales of apps, purchases made in-app, digital content products on Google and YouTube, Android and licensing and service fees, including fees received for Google Cloud offerings. Forty-six percent of this profit was from clicks (cost per clicks), amounting to US$109,652 million in 2017. This includes three principal methods, namely AdMob, AdSense (such as AdSense for Content, AdSense for Search, etc.) and DoubleClick AdExchange.

In addition to its own algorithms for understanding search requests, Google uses technology its acquisition of DoubleClick, to project user interest and target advertising to the search context and the user history.

In 2007, Google launched "AdSense for Mobile", taking advantage of the emerging mobile advertising market.

Google Analytics allows website owners to track where and how people use their website, for example by examining click rates for all the links on a page. Google advertisements can be placed on third-party websites in a two-part program. Google Ads allows advertisers to display their advertisements in the Google content network, through a cost-per-click scheme.[138] The sister service, Google AdSense, allows website owners to display these advertisements on their website and earn money every time ads are clicked.[139] One of the criticisms of this program is the possibility of click fraud, which occurs when a person or automated script clicks on advertisements without being interested in the product, causing the advertiser to pay money to Google unduly. Industry reports in 2006 claimed that approximately 14 to 20 percent of clicks were fraudulent or invalid.[140] Google Search Console (rebranded from Google Webmaster Tools in May 2015) allows webmasters to check the sitemap, crawl rate, and for security issues of their websites, as well as optimize their website's visibility.

In March 2019, Google unveiled a cloud gaming service named Stadia. A job search product has also existed since before 2017, Google for Jobs is an enhanced search feature that aggregates listings from job boards and career sites.

Some Google services are not web-based. Google Earth, launched in 2005, allowed users to see high-definition satellite pictures from all over the world for free through a client software downloaded to their computers.

On September 24, 2012, Google launched Google for Entrepreneurs, a largely not-for-profit business incubator providing startups with co-working spaces known as Campuses, with assistance to startup founders that may include workshops, conferences, and mentorships. Presently, there are seven Campus locations: Berlin, London, Madrid, Seoul, São Paulo, Tel Aviv, and Warsaw.

On March 15, 2016, Google announced the introduction of Google Analytics 360 Suite, "a set of integrated data and marketing analytics products, designed specifically for the needs of enterprise-class marketers" which can be integrated with BigQuery on the Google Cloud Platform. Among other things, the suite is designed to help "enterprise class marketers" "see the complete customer journey", generate "useful insights", and "deliver engaging experiences to the right people". Jack Marshall of The Wall Street Journal wrote that the suite competes with existing marketing cloud offerings by companies including Adobe, Oracle, Salesforce, and IBM.

 

Internet services

In February 2010, Google announced the Google Fiber project, with experimental plans to build an ultra-high-speed broadband network for 50,000 to 500,000 customers in one or more American cities.[178][179] Following Google's corporate restructure to make Alphabet Inc. its parent company, Google Fiber was moved to Alphabet's Access division.[180][181]

In April 2015, Google announced Project Fi, a mobile virtual network operator, that combines Wi-Fi and cellular networks from different telecommunication providers in an effort to enable seamless connectivity and fast Internet signal.

 

Facebook is an online social media and social networking service owned by American company Meta Platforms. Founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, its name comes from the face book directories often given to American university students. Membership was initially limited to Harvard students, gradually expanding to other North American universities and, since 2006, anyone over 13 years old. As of July 2022, Facebook claimed 2.93 billion monthly active users,[6] and ranked third worldwide among the most visited websites as of July 2022.[7] It was the most downloaded mobile app of the 2010s.[8]

Facebook can be accessed from devices with Internet connectivity, such as personal computers, tablets and smartphones. After registering, users can create a profile revealing information about themselves. They can post text, photos and multimedia which are shared with any other users who have agreed to be their "friend" or, with different privacy settings, publicly. Users can also communicate directly with each other with Facebook Messenger, join common-interest groups, and receive notifications on the activities of their Facebook friends and the pages they follow.

The subject of numerous controversies, Facebook has often been criticized over issues such as user privacy (as with the Cambridge Analytica data scandal), political manipulation (as with the 2016 U.S. elections) and mass surveillance.[9] Posts originating from the Facebook page of Breitbart News, a media organization previously affiliated with Cambridge Analytica,[10] are currently among the most widely shared political content on Facebook.[11][12][13][14][15] Facebook has also been subject to criticism over psychological effects such as addiction and low self-esteem, and various controversies over content such as fake news, conspiracy theories, copyright infringement, and hate speech.

 

Zuckerberg built a website called "Facemash" in 2003 while attending Harvard University. The site was comparable to Hot or Not and used "photos compiled from the online face books of nine Houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the "hotter" person". Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours. The site was sent to several campus group listservs, but was shut down a few days later by Harvard administration. Zuckerberg faced expulsion and was charged with breaching security, violating copyrights and violating individual privacy. Ultimately, the charges were dropped. Zuckerberg expanded on this project that semester by creating a social study tool. He uploaded art images, each accompanied by a comments section, to a website he shared with his classmates.

A "face book" is a student directory featuring photos and personal information. In 2003, Harvard had only a paper version[ along with private online directories. Zuckerberg told The Harvard Crimson, "Everyone's been talking a lot about a universal face book within Harvard. ... I think it's kind of silly that it would take the University a couple of years to get around to it. I can do it better than they can, and I can do it in a week."[29] In January 2004, Zuckerberg coded a new website, known as "TheFacebook", inspired by a Crimson editorial about Facemash, stating, "It is clear that the technology needed to create a centralized Website is readily available ... the benefits are many." Zuckerberg met with Harvard student Eduardo Saverin, and each of them agreed to invest $1,000 ($1,435 in 2021 dollars[30]) in the site.[31] On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "TheFacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.

Six days after the site launched, Harvard seniors Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing that he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com. They claimed that he was instead using their ideas to build a competing product. The three complained to the Crimson and the newspaper began an investigation. They later sued Zuckerberg, settling in 2008 for 1.2 million shares (worth $300 million ($354 million in 2021 dollars[30]) at Facebook's IPO).

Membership was initially restricted to students of Harvard College. Within a month, more than half the undergraduates had registered.[36] Dustin Moskovitz, Andrew McCollum, and Chris Hughes joined Zuckerberg to help manage the growth of the website.[37] In March 2004, Facebook expanded to Columbia, Stanford and Yale.[38] It then became available to all Ivy League colleges, Boston University, NYU, MIT, and successively most universities in the United States and Canada.

In mid-2004, Napster co-founder and entrepreneur Sean Parker—an informal advisor to Zuckerberg—became company president.[41] In June 2004, the company moved to Palo Alto, California.[42] It received its first investment later that month from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. In 2005, the company dropped "the" from its name after purchasing the domain name Facebook.com for US$200,000 ($277,492 in 2021 dollars). The domain had belonged to AboutFace Corporation.

In May 2005, Accel Partners invested $12.7 million ($17.6 million in 2021 dollars) in Facebook, and Jim Breyer added $1 million ($1.39 million in 2021 dollars) of his own money. A high-school version of the site launched in September 2005. Eligibility expanded to include employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft.

 

Facebook was sued by the Federal Trade Commission as well as a coalition of several states for illegal monopolization and antitrust. The FTC and states sought the courts to force Facebook to sell its subsidiaries WhatsApp and Instagram.[183][184] The suits were dismissed by a federal judge on June 28, 2021, who stated that there was not enough evidence brought in the suit to determine Facebook to be a monopoly at this point, though allowed the FTC to amend its case to include additional evidence. In its amended filings in August 2021, the FTC asserted that Facebook had been a monopoly in the area of personal social networks since 2011, distinguishing Facebook's activities from social media services like TikTok that broadcast content without necessari

Holy Name High School was founded in the year 1939 at Green Street. The late Rev. Fr. Francis Mascarenhas was the first Principal of the school.

 

The story of Holy Name High School conforms to the parable of the mustard seed which is the smallest of seeds and yet when sown, blooms into a tree, so that all the birds of the air can make their shelter therein. Holy Name School, as it was known then, had a humble beginning in a very old building, a building so old, that it was only the determination to serve, on the part of the Management and Staff, that kept it standing.

 

"Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him, the Name which is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth..."

 

During the tenure of the Principal Rev. Fr. Valerian Godinho, the school moved to its present premises on Convent Street. In 1963, Rev. Fr. Francis X. Fernandes took over from Rev. Fr. Richard Mathias and for the next thirteen years worked tirelessly. The strong spacious building we have today speaks volumes of his dedication and his firm belief in the school motto: 'In Labore Gaudium' - Joy in work.

 

The corridors of time and of these impressive monuments have seen different Principals since then - Rev. Frs. Vernon D'Souza, Joaquim D'Costa, Luis Pereira, Ivo D'Souza, Paul D'Souza, (Dr.) Clifton Lobo, Merwyn D'Souza and the current Principal, Rev. Fr. Michael Pinto. Each with his own charisma has contributed to the colour, texture and fabric of this renowned school.

 

Tradition and heritage are essential ingredients in making an institution noble. We, at Holy Name, have teachers who have grown with this institution. Many of them have been students here.

 

The Holy Name High School is a spacious, well-ventilated edifice with a large play ground, and is the envy of many a city school. For this, we are grateful to His Late Eminence Valerian Cardinal Gracias [India's first Cardinal], His Lordship Bishop Gomes and a host of well-wishers.

 

The School has students from every walk of life. Deeply embedded in the syllabus are values of Tolerance, Communal Harmony, Justice, Peace, Love, and an awareness of our Ecology.

 

Our vision, today as was yesterday and the days that went before, is poised towards students' contribution not only to holding aloft the "Name" of the School, but also to being better people for the world of tomorrow.

 

The Start

 

How The School Started

by

REV. TARCY MASCARENHAS

 

One morning while blessing the houses of Frere Road after Easter, I felt so oppressed at the number of children trailing me as was their habit, but with no satisfactory answer about their schooling, that I broke off. Surplice and stole on my arm and the sprinkler in my fist, I walked on to Bori Bunder, skirted the area, turned on to Waudby Road and read the notice: "Gilbert and Lodge, shifted to Rampart Row". Mr. Beale who ran the English Firm of Estate Agents, was a very astute Jew. As I took my seat in his office in Rampart Row, I urged: "Mr Beale, this is not a business request. Find me a place; there are over three hundred children needing a school in the Fort area. . . ." He found me the place in two days. It was on Dockyard Road opposite the Tobacco Warehouse, a dump of a building three storeys high and of no good to any tenant because of its ill repute.

 

When I got Mr. Beale's Telephone call, my first thought was: "I have not yet told Fr. Ghezzi!" It came so fast. For five years Fr. Ghezzi and his Assistants in the Holy Name Parish, had in vain sought out a room for which they were ready to pay a rental of Rs. 50/- a month. I now told Fr. Ghezzi what I was about, went with Mr. Beale to see the top floor of that big old building owned by Messrs. Bhanshilal Bros., and agreed about the price of Rs. 100/- a month. It was an entire floor, open on all sides to light and air, and with sufficient accommodation for five classrooms, Office and Teachers' Room. There were no walls in between, only pillars! I came back to Archbishop's House, uprooted Fr. Ghezzi from his Vicar General's Office, sat with him in a taxi and told him the worst. Fr. Ghezzi was not one to make hasty decisions. He was over seventy years old. He treated me like a troublesome son. Nevertheless he came, he saw, he agreed! "But", he added, "you did all this without consulting me!" He gave me Rs. 500/- with which to pay three months' rent and buy benches. This was in April 1939. He had told me in June, 1937 when I first became his Assistant, "I will give you Rs. 500/- to open a school." I thought then that he was asking for the impossible in the Fort area. What had moved Mr. Beale to make such a personal exertion? Was it that surplice and stole and sprinkler? - This reminds me of a verse I read in the Biography of a British Statesman:

 

"If I was on the river Casuary,

Somewhere in Timbuctoo,

I'd swallow a missionary,

Surplice, stole and hymn book too!"

  

Three days later, I resumed the blessing of houses on Frere Road. "What had happened?" They wanted to know. Had I fallen ill? I answered: "We have a school!" The news spread like wild fire. I printed an appeal to the "friends of Holy Name". The money came in. The teachers applied. Fr. Coyne S.J. of St. Xavier's High School gave me hardy old benches of German make. He also set me my curriculum and text books and promised to take my boys who passed my Primary. To begin with, mine was a mixed school with three standards. One hundred children enrolled on 10th June, 1939 when the school started. The way we all went foraging for material and equipment and second hand text books, was almost like an expedition on the river Casuary. Fr. Ghezzi felt almost sorry I had not asked for more money! Towards the end of July he departed for Bergamo in Italy, where our present Pope was born. The Second World War began in September, 1939.

 

The day the war began, I happened to call on the Nichols. She was a Catholic and he the Flag Officer Commanding the Royal Navy on this coast. His reaction to the news of the break of war was a string of well rounded swear words! How we loved the Navy and the Navy loved us! The men adopted our boys and the wives adopted our girls. Headmaster Smith often dropped in for a cup of tea and told me more than once: "I am waiting for your boys." We had now shifted to Green Street and had bought the building. We had a Scout troop for boys, girls, young men and young women. The Navy Apprentices and my Rovers helped to whitewash the rooms and put new electric fittings. My youngsters learnt how to work with their hands and always keep neat. Of an afternoon, an English Officer on the Naval Staff would come and fetch a couple of my boys to take with him for a sail in the harbour. Ours was a Sea Scout group.

 

We had Domestic Science Class for our big girls. The Navy wives adopted this. Among those who loved our children were Mrs. Seddon and Mrs. Furlong. In this period, 1939 to 1942, Mrs. Seddon with Fr. Fox opened "Shandy Tavern", for the sailors. Our girls helped at the start.

 

We also had a "club" functioning in the evenings for the young men and the Navy boys from all over India, who were taking their training. It was an attraction. The scouting with its club, did help to draw from the street corners many who were drifting aimlessly. Ours was a Parish Scout Unit made up of Catholics or near Catholics and well rooted in religious soil. It worked better in this area than a purely "pious Association", could do.

 

What about the teachers? In the first year Miss Evelyn Sequeira was Head Mistress and then Miss Nancy Carrasco took over. Two other teachers could be classed among our founder members. These were Miss Apoline D'Souza who taught for a decade and more till she got married. The other is still with the school, Miss Theo Lobo. She ran my office. She used to be very diffident about herself, but our first Inspector of Schools and Dr. Mrs. Heap of the Red Cross took quite a liking for her. I once heard that Inspector (Noorbhoy was his name) tell Archbishop Roberts: "Your Christian girls are naturally good teachers. Put them in a classroom and from the very first they know what to do!" All my teachers were either trained or taking a training. They had a room up above, overlooking the harbour. They lingered there after class hours. We did not have the shift system in those days. Many were interested in extra-curricular activities such as the Red Cross and Air Raid Precaution.

 

Fr. Leonard Raymond visited our School the first year and praised us to the skies in his Inspection Report. He visited us the next year and was dissatisfied with our choice of Text books and poetry recital. Our children mostly did not speak English at home. Hence, we had to go in for "word selection" and other aids such as Phonetic spelling lists and action pictures. We thought we were being progressive. Down came Father Raymond on our methods. Our children and our Text books were not in the same class as for instance, the Clare Road Convent! I disputed his Report when it came. I wrote a thesis on "word selection". But before I could deliver it, Father Raymond came to Archbishop's House for lunch. Jokingly he said: "Father Mascarenhas thinks there is no other school like his in Bombay." Father Raymond was conducting a school in the heart of Bombay, for very much the same kind of pupils that I had. But I had one advantage. I replied in a flash: "It is like this. If I give a recommendation for a job, every body will say, "This is the Holy Name School" (Holy Name Church and surroundings are known in the highest circles.) Now if you give a recommendation, people will look at your letter head and say: "Where on earth is this school?" Didn't the whole table laugh! I believe Holy Name School has made the grade in every respect. Its name figures in the newspapers. It has now a towering edifice just behind Holy Name Pro-Cathedral.

 

If there be another besides myself who takes a pride in its rise to top class, this other should be Archbishop Roberts. He was the one I sought when I returned from Mr. Beale's office that first day. He said in his quite manner: "You have my backing. Go ahead." When a year later I had a chance of buying the building in Green Street, he called a meeting of the Council of administration in two days and enabled me to close the deal in four days. Dr. Altine Colaco was in those days the head of the Education Committee in the Bombay Municipality, and Mr. A. X. Moraes was the weightiest voice in the Church Administration on property matters. They recommended without hesitation the purchase of the four-storey, narrow building on freehold land for Rs. 52,000. It was an old building, but if we had not taken it up, we would have been in the streets.

 

We had many difficulties in those early years. But Archbishop Roberts used to say when the talk came up: "Don't worry! Eton and Harrow started just like Fr. Mascarenhas' school. They began as Parish Schools!" That became a standing joke. But how much did not Archbishop Roberts and his English friends love that school! Fr. Fox who was Port chaplain during the war made it his own haunt. He helped stage our first play: "Robinhood and Maid Marion". The English ladies taught our girls the English folk dances. Well, Well! Those were the days!

 

Father Gracias treated me as a younger brother, and as he had the Parish in his hands, he set about organizing each year a fancy fete to get the school out of its debt of Rs. 52,000/-. It was war time and the attractions at Cawasji Jehangir Hall drew the best patronage. The organizing Committee that Father Gracias assembled was International, with Mrs. Clement Pereira at the head. Dr. Clement Pereira used to give me a helping hand in many ways. Doctors Jerry and Olga Saldhana had just returned from England, and visited my school regularly every week to run their English type medical inspection on my children. The "friends of the Holy Name" could not be complete without a mention of Mr. J. F. Pereira, the chief Accountant at the time of the Port Trust.

 

Father Gracias is now a Cardinal. Principals have come and gone. So have the Rectors. Father C. Zurbitu was the Vice-Rector and a boon companion in those days. Many have contributed to the building up of the school to its present proportions, but at every stage it was the Cardinal's fostering that has brought the school to the front. There are many schools going up all around the Diocese for the benefit of the poor. As the Gardinal pointed out, it is very easy to start with the idea and the enthusiasm. But it is a long and uphill task to bring a school to a high grade. It needs much money, big buildings and consistent good teaching. The particular Cardinal Gracias had in mind when he said this, was the Holy Name School. He has had it on his hands for twenty-four years and next year will be the Silver Jubilee.

A News Report Of The Inauguration Of The School

 

"After the pleasure that was mine, when in October of 1960 the new buildings of the Seminary at Goregoan were inaugurated, the joy in seeing the Holy Name School buildings completed, comes next", declared His Eminence Cardinal Gracias at the Inauguration ceremony of the new Holy Name School buildings, which was performed by the Hon. Shri H. J. H. Taleyarkhan, Minister for Civil Supplies, Housing, Printing Presses, Fisheries, Small Savings and Tourism. The joy was not entirely the Cardinal's; and it did not need the beautiful Pantomime show of the Primary school children to give to the setting that touch of fairyland it certainly possessed! As the Minister pressed a button, floodlights came on, and soft, coloured lights blended harmoniously to bring out the majesty of the long corridors and throw into relief the massive columns and stately lines of this architectural dream, designed by Mr. J. B. Fernandes. The choir of the Holy Name High School, conducted by Fr. Athanasius D'Cruz, welcomed the many guests assembled in the large quadrangle, with the "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers", executed with confidence, and setting the tone for what followed. After the Minister had performed the Inauguration, His Eminence blessed the buildings. In his Principal's Report, Fr. Richard Mathias showed how the school, from humble beginnings, today occupied an important place in the educational set-up of our city, with a proud record-academic, cultural and sporting! In his speech, the Cardinal assured all present that Holy Name High School will continue to play its part in providing the very best education for our youth, particularly those not blessed with favourable material circumstances. He thanked all those who had helped to make this lovely building a reality and paid tribute to the pioneer work done by successive Principals of the school. The Guest of Honour, Shri Taleyarkhan, welcomed the new "educational oasis" in the city. After briefly outlining the phenomenal progress in education made in India, he ended on a personal note, affirming his gratitude and dependence on Almighty God, the Giver of all good things. Then followed the cultural side of the programme: first a Konkani Folk-Song-cum-Dance much appreciated and warmly applauded. Then, a Pantomime Show, The Sleeping Beauty, all complete with handsome prince and beautiful princess, and fluttering fairies and wicked witch, literally holding the audience spell-bound. Another song, "My Little Nest of Heavenly Blue" by the choir, served to round up the enjoyable programme. Fr. Pimenta, in his vote of thanks, expressed his gratitude to the entire corps of organisers - Fr. Martins, and his helpers, the ushers, for their collaboration in making the function such an outstanding success. To conclude, the Naval Central Band which, under the direction of Sub-Lt. Gomes, had played select music during the course of the evening's programme, gave a masterly rendering of Handel's "Alleluja" chorus...

 

The story is told, that when Cardinal Borromeo built the beautiful seminary of Milan, people complained about the magnificence of the edifice! To which the saintly Cardinal replied: "Let it be. For the magnificence of the structure will speak to those who stay in it of the greatness of their vocation and what is expected of them." Well might the Cardinal Archbishop of Bombay address like words to the staff and students of Holy Name today. For, in their magnificent new premises, they surely have the necessary incentive to push forward to greater and greater heights.

  

Message from

His Grace Archbishop Angelo Fernandes,

Coadjutor Archbishop of Delhi,

on the occasion of

the inauguration of the new wing of the School.

I am very happy to associate myself with inauguration of the new wing of the Holy Name High School.

It was only a few years after its inception and when it was still "learning to walk" that I had the privilege of guiding the infant school as its second Principal. That was a rich and rewarding experience particularly because the simple little children were under-privileged but responsive to a marked degree and truly grateful.

The Holy Name School has proved an indispensable boon to large numbers of the lower social strata and that is one of its proudest titles to glory. Many would not have known even the semblance of a formal education but for this lifeboat in their midst! "The poor have the Gospel preached to them."

The years have been an uphill task for the staff and have made heavy and exacting demands on the School, but the satisfation of seeing the Institution flourish and take its place amidst the galaxy of Catholic schools in Bombay - that is both a tribute and a reward for the pioneers and for all who have kept the flag flying for nearly a quarter of a century.

With better facilities today and a bright future ahead, may I express the hope that the Holy Name School will proceed to make its mark by a shift of emphasis from the three R's to the fourth, viz., human relations, giving it pride of place in the programme, since education is for action, not just for knowledge. A Catholic school justifies itself less by its academic and other successes than by the quality of its human products.

I shall be looking forward to the day when those who have been formed and disciplined at Holy Name emerge as future leaders in the Church and in the country and bring to bear on modern India the impress of the highest ideals and the greatest measure of dedication - even after the manner of Him whose name the school proudly cherishes.

God love and bless you all.

Please note out of the Rs 250 that we gave for dinner etc Rs 100 went to the poor Children's Fund at Holy Name High School Fort Mumbai..

This is a faded, kind of mysterious ghostly

image of the celebrated Duke-

aka Scott Docherty -

my frequent collaborator on songs -

as well as the keyboardist in my band

The Zollo Group -

and also the art director, webmaster

and guru of all things groovy

for bluerailroad,

our online magazine which launches

in October

at www.bluerailroad.com

(there's a flickr group devoted to

musical photos named bluerailroad-

please get onboard). Yes, The Duke

and I are in bed together, so to speak,

and my wife often wakes up in the middle

of the night, and says, "Who is this guy in our

bed with the long red hair and the top hat?" I tell

her not to worry, and to go back to bed.

 

You can hear Scott's stunning song

"Living Water," which is one of my favorite

songs in the world, up there with

"Smile" by Charlie Chaplin,

"Strawberry Fields," by John Lennon,

"Ring Them Bells" and

"I and I" by Bob Dylan,

"And When I Die," by Laura Nyro,

"Suzanne," by Leonard Cohen,

"Spoon River," by Michael Smith

(i know i should have never started this list-

it's already too much and not enough),

"Marie" and "Lousiana" by Randy Newman,

"Saturn," by Stevie Wonder,

"Love Is Here To Stay," by the Gershwin brothers,

and

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

and "Think Too Much, B" by some

guy named Simon who is turning 65 this year,

at

www.myspace.com/scottdocherty.

 

Our songs that we wrote together - he the music,

me the words - he did the tracks and singing -

are "Noelle" and "Season of Grace."

 

I took this shot in Hollywood - i think some

smoke or smog or both descended on us at

this moment. It was a day in July that, to quote

the great Stevie Wonder (who, no matter how

many times I meet him, never seems to

recognize me, for some reason)

was "hotter than July."

 

But though the Duke and I were

both sweating, we got many good photos.

The guy, despite everything you

might have heard about him, much of which

is based on rumors and innuendo

that I started,

even the one about him and Tori Amos

and Tori Spelling,

is photogenic.

The process of elimination, fresh rotation

come and go and they death be starvation

In the heat of battle it's no rest for the weary

Snooze and you lose is the theory

The theory of a patient man, is wild beyond belief

Be afraid, you don't want beef with us chief

Your talk is cheap and the supply meets demand

Everything you can imagine is real man

and revenge be the dish I serve to cats cold

Stay up on about ten folds, you know how it goes

You know the streets and it's real as shit, c'mon

Niggaz grab your dicks, c'mon

Bitches rub your tits, c'mon

 

Chorus (minus last two lines)

 

[Snoop Dogg]

Awww nah, big Snoop Dogg

Slap you with my paw, all across your jaw

Break fool on these bitches while I'm breakin the law

You come up in my room look bitch you takin it off

Follow me, I slip em slide em rip em ride em provide em

with that West coast G shit, L.B.C. shit

We dips to this, make chips to this

and buy brand new whips and shit, uh-huh (beyotch)

I bet you didn't know that yo' bitch was suckin dick (say what?)

Who you think she fuckin with? (what?) Look here

My, Eastside lifestyle is way foul, move the crowd

Point a pistol at you bitch niggas, BLA-DOW

.. How you like me now? (what what, what?)

You got stuck and fucked, Doggystyle

100 spokes Day-tonas, bendin the corner

all up in Crooklyn, bad bitches are lookin

[Busta Rhymes]

So you lovin us so much this shit is bleedin through you

If I worked in a resteraunt

I'd shit in the food and feed it to you

Most of my niggaz cuckoo, easy to gas to shoot you

Even all of them Haitian niggaz

won't believe this voodoo

Can yo' pussy be chaka, don't let me speak in pat-ois

and kick you in your face like we playin a game of soc-cer

I love to cock the glock-a, stack up on loot and vod-ka

And fuck your crew because all of y'all niggaz full of ca-ca

The way we doin damage tell me how the FUCK you manage

with my niggaz who marinate on foul thoughts and think savage

Them niggaz'll throw you in a manhole

and push they hand in yo' ass

and pull yo' head right out yo' asshole!

Parkay nigga we rugged all day nigga

You ready to fuck bitch? Fuck the foreplay nigga

This me for all consumers, my nigga FUCK the rumors

Three in the worst way of pure coke for all you DRUG ABUSERS
