#Daniel J Edwards

[rini-anointed]

YGO ARC-V is an adventurous journey of dimension hopping where the protagonist, Yuya Sakaki, had undergone some soul searching to develop his dueltaining other than to find his friend, Zuzu Boyle, who'd gotten sent adrift, to bring her back home. The depth of Yuya's character is intriguing along with the connection between him and his counterparts in the other dimensions, which is also tied to Zuzu and her dimensional counterparts. Yuya's association with his archrival, Declan Akaba, initiates the progression towards developing his dueltaining skills. Their Action Duels have an entertaining aspect to them for keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. “Can You Feel The Power” is a great catchy, upbeat opening theme to emphasize on the entertainment presented in their duels. Michael Liscio Jr impresses with his varied voice characterizations of Yuya, his energy and emotional tone at times, and the other Yu-boys. Emily Jenness is good with her vocal delivery on making Zuzu and her counterparts distinctive from each other. Daniel J Edwards is effective in portraying the entertaining quality of Dennis McField, especially with his singsong voice while demonstrating his showmanship, and voicing a dark tone when he's serious. The pacing for its first two seasons is good with the second season paying homage to the 5D's series well. However, there's a noticeable drop in the quality somewhere in its final season where it became rushed with the Zexal and GX series' homages being short-ended.

"HOSING OF CONVICTS SUBJECT OF INQUIRY," Toronto Globe. December 5, 1913. Page 9. --- PRISON REFORM COMMISSION RESUMES SITTINGS AT KINGSTON. --- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Kingston, Dec. 4. - The Prison Reform Commission to-day listened largely to complaints of convicts about hosing treatment given them as punishment. One convict declared that his clothes had been almost washed off by hosing, and that he had been rendered unconscious on four occasions. He showed the Commissioners a scar on his arm which he claimed was the result of this punishment, but the prison surgeon, Dr. D. Phelan, testified that this was an old scar. The convicts hosed were of the desperate kind and inmates of the isolation ward.

Another convict who was hosed, it developed, was a very bad character who had once stabbed a fellow-convict and again had thrown a hammer at a guard. He had to be placed in the isolation ward, the Deputy Warden said.

To-morrow the confession of convict Rose that he swore falsely against Guard Frederick Ingledew is to be heard, and on Saturday morning charges against H. Begg, assistant hospital overseer, are to be taken up.

As a result of a wordy battle between G. M. MacDonnell, K.C:, Chairman, and Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P., who has been active in the investigation, the latter is not now allowed to ask questions of witnesses, but has to do so through counsel for the Department of Justice, H. A. Stewart, К.С.

The committee resumed the inquiry into the conduct of Deputy Warden O'Leary. It was intimated that Jones and Bonnar, two of the western desperadoes, would be called to give evidence, probably in regard to the much-talked about "hosing" treatment.

Reuben Bryant, guard for eighteen years, went back to an incident seventeen years ago, when he had to continue work with a sprained wrist, instead of being given another task to show that the deputy had discriminated against him. The evidence was ruled out on the ground that, in his condition, he should not have been on duty.

The Chairman objected to calling John Mills, who served as a guard seventeen years ago, and a lively passage followed with Dr. Edwards over the way the investigation was being conducted.

"You can't bluff me," said Edwards hotly, and the Chairman said that if he persisted in interfering he would have to retire. The doctor thereupon challenged the Chairman to put him out, saying he would cause a whole lot more trouble before he was through.

Guard Mills said he was discharged, but he did not know what for.

From his genetic hypothesis of homosexuality he inferred that homosexuals ought not to be discriminated against "on the basis of a religious dogma supported by the unlikely assumption that they are biologically unnatural."

The Disability Library

I love books, I love literature, and I love this blog, but it's only been recently that I've really been given the option to explore disabled literature, and I hate that. When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be able to read about characters like me, and now as an adult, all I want is to be able to read a book that takes us seriously.

And so, friends, Romans, countrymen, I present, a special disability and chronic illness booklist, compiled by myself and through the contributions of wonderful members from this site!

As always, if there are any at all that you want me to add, please just say. I'm always looking for more!

Sunshine Sachs must've called in a LOT of favors to get so many famous names on board the Archetypes Podcast and the 40x40 project. Vanity projects that went... nowhere.

Without Sunshine Sachs, IMO it's highly unlikely that M will ever be able to reach the same level of celebrity access on her own.

Will it gain the traction it needs? Probably not. But I'm not as... distant, about today, as I have been over the years. Because let's face it... This hits close to home for me. I said this in my original posting, too:

As someone who lives relatively near Orlando, I remember this day so vividly and I still feel a lot of pain for the victims even five years later.

I remember biting back tears in my living room because I wasn't out of the closet, and couldn't let my family know just how much this hurt me. I remember breaking down that night while scrolling the headlines, watching as the number of fatalities kept climbing. I remember staring at the button on Facebook asking me if I was safe.

And to this day, even with those involved and responsible gone... I still do not feel safe as a queer man in this state or in this country.

More importantly, though, it's important to highlight the community impacted by it, and the way onePULSE and its founder (Barbara Poma), the city of Orlando, and the State of Florida have exploited and continue to exploit the deaths of these individuals.

Information from here on out will be taken from the Community Coalition Agaisnt a Pulse Museum's official website, which can be found at the following link: [ LINK ]

The Community Coalition Against a Pulse Museum (CCAPM) is a group of surviving victims, family members of victims, activists, and scholars who have banded together to fight against the onePULSE Foundation's privatized memorial and museum complex. Our position is that money raised in the name of the mass shooting should go to the continued care of survivors. A public memorial park that does not seek to capitalize on the mass shooting in any way is the only option for a just memorial.

In addition, we seek justice for mass shooting victims by exposing the history and scope of unpermitted renovations and code violations at Pulse, which impaired the escape and rescue of shooting victims. We believe that Pulse owners Rosario Poma and Barbara Poma should be held accountable for these violations, rather than continuing to profit from a tragedy that was exacerbated by their illegal business decisions. We also want to see the City of Orlando held accountable for their continued failure to enforce the law and bring the business into compliance.

So what are the prominent issues?

WE ARE AGAINST COMMODIFYING MASS MURDER

The onePULSE Foundation has placed a gift shop feet away from where 49 people were murdered on the site of the interim memorial. We firmly renounce putting any price tag on the murder of our loved ones. The proposed museum is also slated to have a gift shop and a price of admission.

WE ARE AGAINST TURNING A PUBLIC TRAGEDY INTO PRIVATE PROFITS

Pulse nightclub owner, Barbara Poma, refused to sell the property to the City of Orlando for a public memorial. Instead, she created the onePULSE Foundation and has taken an executive salary in her self-made position as CEO. Perks have also included national recognition, celebrity, political connections, and undeserved accolades as an LGBTQ+ ally.

WE ARE AGAINST TURNING A MASS SHOOTING INTO A TOURIST ATTRACTION

The onePULSE Foundation has received a $10 MILLION tourism development tax grant from Orange County for the building of a museum. The tax application shows how the proposed memorial/museum complex has been intended to increase tourism during the off-season. The corporate Board of Trustees also reflects the local tourism industry.

WE SUPPORT INVESTING IN THE CONTINUED CARE OF SURVIVORS

Money raised in the name of the mass shooting at Pulse is going to multi-million dollar buildings rather than the continued care of the people who were directly affected. Available services and organizations have not provided adequate care to survivors and the onePULSE Foundation has not stepped in to fill any gaps; focusing instead on cultural and "educational" programs, while ignoring the ongoing needs of survivors.

WE CALL OUT A CHANGING MISSION

For years, the onePULSE Foundation raised funds for community grants for victims' families and survivors. In 2019, "community grants" were removed from the organization's mission. According to the released 2018 990s, only $1k was spent on community grants. People have donated money to the organization thinking that they were helping survivors.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

onePULSE Foundation CEO Barbara Poma is currently being sued by survivors and victims' families as part of a security negligence lawsuit. This lawsuit also alleges the illegal transfer of the Pulse nightclub property which was transferred via quit claim deed in the months after the shooting to two other LLCs owned by Barbara and Rosario Poma. Funds raised by the non-profit are being invested in the Pulse property that the Poma's still own.

As of 2024, this case is still pending, with the latest service list being posted on the docket as of June 11. The case number is publicly available (2018-CA-006102-O) and is searchable via the Orange County Clerk of Courts Record Search.

WE AFFIRM A PUBLIC MEMORIAL PARK IS STILL POSSIBLE

Public memorial parks have been the overwhelming response to mass shootings around the country, including Aurora, Columbine, Las Vegas, and Newtown. Most have been built by volunteers, with no executive salaries. The OnePULSE Foundation's proposed museum attraction seeks to unnecessarily turn the shooting into a spectacle and requires merchandising the tragedy. Mass murder is not for sale!

WE CONTINUE TO EXPOSE UNPERMITTED RENOVATIONS AND CODE VIOLATIONS

Public records affirm that Pulse Nightclub was a death trap due to its unpermitted renovations and code violations. Documents show that these issues affected the both the escape and rescue of Pulse survivors on June 12, 2016. We continue to collect, document, and uncover these issues since the City of Orlando has still not released all relevant records to the public.

Survivors of the incident, as well as their families and those who have faced similar tragedy, have also signed an open letter [ LINK ] calling attention to these issues, provided documented evidence of the above claims [ LINK ], and have also been running a petition since 2019 to call attention to the matter:

Of course, it is important to note that the individuals mentioned (Barbara Poma, the Orlando City Council, etc.) are not the only ones involved in making this state an unsafe place for its queer community.

As noted in my original posting as well, the unsafe nature of this state runs through its government. The fight for our rights, our recognition, and our safety still continues. Here are some facts from the original post (dated June 12, 2021):

In June 2021, the Governor of Florida vetoed an "item-lined budget bill" - that legally provides mental health, counseling, and compensation directly towards victims of the June 2016 Pulse nightclub Orlando shooting.

While they cannot be enforced, sodomy laws still exist in Florida to this day. Every year, we are still criminalized by a technicality.

In many places, same-sex domestic partnerships are still not granted. It is only viable in approximately nine counties, thirty cities, and one town.

It took until 2016 for same-sex couples to be granted the same parental rights during in vitro fertilization and surrogacy as opposite-sex couples. Before then, the non-biological mother and father was not the child's legal parent nor guardian.

The state's "hate crime law" only accounts for sexual orientation, and does not protect victims who were attacked for their gender identity.

Anti-discrimination laws for sexual orientation and gender identity are not state-wide nor equally applicable within each county/town.

On June 1, 2021, Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis signed a bill to exclude transgender women from participating in sports designated for female students. This bill passed because of a last-minute legislative "procedural maneuver". The HRC is currently establishing a campaign to try and stop the law from going into effect (called "nullification") on midnight July 1.

Gay-panic and Trans-panic are still viable legal defenses, resulting in these abhorrent hate crimes to be decreased from murder to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Conversion therapy against minors is not banned state-wide, and is still legal within many areas of the state. In fact, in some areas, a ban on the practice is deemed "unenforceable".

And that is just the tip of the iceberg, because if you've been active in your advocacy for the community (or at the very least, following me for a decent period of time)... Then you know just how unsafe Florida has become. You know how, even under the Biden administration, people like Governor Ron DeSantis have gone unchallenged in their writing and enforcement of vile legislation. You know how this legislation has begun creeping its way up to the top, to the federal level, and remained unchallenged the whole way up.

Here are some more "fun facts" about just how much we must fight against in the wake of this tragedy:

States like Florida have eliminated 80% of all trans adult care (SB 254), adults can be thrown in jail for using the bathroom of their gender identity (SB 1674), and trans people with correct gender markers on their drivers licenses can be charged with fraud (Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles memo).

The State of Florida has had several travel advisories issued against it by local LGBTQ+ organizations (e.g., Equality Florida) and national organizations (e.g., Human Rights Campaign).

Likewise, many social media laws targeting "adult content and pornography" (HB 3) include sneaky, vague language that will very much target the existence of queer folk using the internet in this state.

More states within the United States are explicitly passing anti-trans legislation than not, and moreso now than ever [ source; dated June 4th ].

The time for relying on those above us is over. We MUST kill the plague of individualism and build community. If we don't support one another, nobody will. No amount of pinkwashing, placation, or sanitation will change that.

We are here. We are queer. We will never forget, and we cannot allow ourselves to.

"DYING CONVICTS NEGLECTED," Weekly British Whig (Kingston, Ontario). October 20, 1913. Page 3. ---- Charge Made by Guard Frederick Ingledew at Penitentiary Investigation. ---- Accused Overseer Wilson at Refusing to Attend to Convicts in the Hospital---Two Guards Charged With Drunkenness While on Duty---Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P. At Has Another Tilt With Members of the Commission. ---- That dying convicts were neglected in the hospital at the penitentiary by Overseer Wilson, and that the hospital was in an unsanitary condition, was the evidence given by Frederick Ingledew, a guard, before the Prison Reform Commission, at the Wednesday afternoon session. Overseer Wilson is the official against whom charges were made by Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P., and the investigation into the charges will be continued as the sessions proceed. Overseer Wilson was not present on Wednesday afternoon when Guard Ingledew made the charges.

Asked about conditions in the hospital, the witness, who was a guard in the hospital, ward for five months, stated that they were very bad. There were no proper conveniences, he said, for the men in the hospital, at nights, and he also classed the hospital as being unsanitary. There was a strict rule that guards must not enter the cells there, under any condition, and that a man might be left there to die under these circumstances. A guard would run a chance of being dismissed should he open a cell door. Proper facilities for giving the convicts a drink were lacking. They were served with water out of a jug.

The witness referred particularly the case of a convict named Pellow. This man, he said, fell in his cell from weakness, and had asked for a glass of water. Pellow died in the Hotel Dieu. Patients were allowed to suffer, and witness had taken it upon himself to send in a report to Ottawa and lodge a complaint against Wilson for refusing to get up out of his bed to attend patients who were dying. The complaint was sent in to Inspector Stewart, but the witness had received no reply to his letter. There were on an average six or seven, and sometimes twelve, men in the hospital. Some of the convicts were very sick.

Witness spoke of a convict named Raymond who, the claimed, had not received the treatment he should have received, and also spoke of a convict named Bunyan, claiming that the latter had been neglected. Bunyan died in the "pen." Wilson had also refused to get up to attend a convict named Lottrigne.

Had a Note Book. The witness produced a note book, from which he secured his information for the commissioners. He said that he had kept tab on all the cases he had referred to.

"What do you think of a penitentiary that has guards going around with note books?" asked Mr. Downey.

"Well, this penitentiary takes the biscuit as far as I am concerned," replied the witness, and the members of the commission and lawyers smiled.

Witness explained that he had kept the note book so as to be able to safeguard himself. He knew of others keeping note books.

Major Hughes pointed out that under the rules and regulations, the officials were provided with a book to keep a record of the conduct of men.

Mr. Whiting asked if the charges of favoritism made by Johnson had been disposed of, whereupon Mr. Stewart stated that there would be no more evidence offered on this claim.

Paid For Examination. Frederick Montgomery, of Odessa, an ex-guard, gave evidence next. He told about being a guard for about two years. He had been examined by Dr. Phelan, at the latter's home, and had been charged $1 for the examination. The doctor told him this was the fee. Previous to his own examination, he had paid a fee of $1 to Dr. Phelan for Elmer Clyde, who had put in an application for the position of guard. Clyde had been examined by Dr. Phelan at the penitentiary. Clyde did not think there would be a fee, did not have the money on hand, and for this reason, witness had loaned him the money.

That he was ill-treated by the de paty warden was another charge made by the witness. When he first went on the staff he was placed in the asylum, where he was kept for four months. After, this he was sent to the isolation ward, where he remained one month, afterwards, going to the yard.

"Why did you think that you were entitled to different treatment?"

"Because other men had been changed from their positions and I felt that I was entitled to a change, too."

Dr. Edwards - "Do you know of any case where the deputy warden was under the influence of liquor?"

"I could smell liquor on his breath."

Witness could not say whether the deputy was under the influence of liquor.

Mr. Whiting cross-examined the witness regarding his medical inspection by Dr. Phelan. He contended that witness at the time of his examination was an applicant for the position of guard, and asked witness about the questions which had been put to him by Dr. Phelan. Witness remembered answering questions on a printed form read by Mr. Whiting.

Owing to the fact that the document had been forwarded to Ottawa It could not be ascertained just what this document contained. A copy of it will be secured from Ottawa.

Drunkenness Charged. Dr. Edwards - "Do you know of your own, knowledge of any guards being drunk at the north gate ?"

"Yes. Doyle and O'Driscoll were drunk at the north gate while оп duty." Witness said there was no doubt about the condition of these men, and that they had not been re- ported. These men had asked a party to go and get them a bottle the same night. Pressed for the name of the man who was asked the witness gave the name of George Aiken.

"And did he go and get the bottle?" asked Mr. Whiting.

"I could not say."

"Do you know if the deputy warden knew anything about the condition of these men?"

"I don't think he did."

"Did you report the matter to him?"

"No, I did not."

"Was it not your duty as an official to report the matter?"

"There were senior officers on duty and I did not consider it was my duty to report the matter."

"Who should have reported the matter?"

Witness said a man named Powell should have reported. Witness was on duty at the time.

Elmer Clyde, another former guard, referred to by the previous witness, told his story. He said he had met the warden, and that the latter wanted him to go on the job. He went to the surgeon, Dr. Phelan, at the north gate, and was examined. Dr. Phelan told him that the fee would be $1. Witness went to work shortly after he was examined, probably a week later. He had signed a document but did not know what it was.

Another witness called was Percy Johnson, an ex-guard, who claimed that he had not been given fair treatment while in the service.

Withess told of an occasion when he was on duty for sixty hours.

"But you were not on duty all the time?" asked Mr. Downey.

"No, I was not, but a man is on duty from the time he goes into the penitentiary until he comes out."

Witness claimed that he was called upon to do the longest period of duty of any of the guards. He was away from his home from Sunday at 8 a.m., until Tuesday, 6 p.m. It was unusual for a guard to do duty for such a long time. Witness was relieved from duty, on a medical certificate, for deafness.

Mr. Whiting asked the witness it he knew for certain that there were no other guards kept on duty for sixty hours. He said he did not think others were kept on that long.

Mr. Stewart read a medical certificate which stated that Johnston had been suffering from deafness, but that he was improving. The certificate stated that witness was not so bad but what he could do ordinary work. Witness said that the trouble he suffered from did not prevent him from doing his duty at the penitentiary.

Still Another Breeze. Mr. Downey then asked if the statement of the witness would be placed on record as the one which was wanting. The witness was the man referred to as having gone to the chairman of the commission, with a complaint.

"That is not the point," said Dr. Edwards. "This is the man who made the charges in writing, in accordance with the wish of the commission, through an advertisement in the news papers. This is the man who was told to go home, and say nothing about it."

"Well," said Mr. Downey, "if this gentleman had come to me, as a commissioner, and told me the story he has told here to-day, I would have given him the same advice as the chairman did. We can't waste much time in that kind of stuff. We have far more serious matters to take up."

Dr. Edwards - "Do you think then, that his evidence is of no value, after you have advertised for information? I think it is up to the commission to hear what the man has to say, and afterwards decide as to whether it is good or not."

Dr. Edwards added: "I think it would be in order for the commission to divide itself into three parts, and each determine as to whether the matter should be gone into further."

"In that case we may be here all winter," remarked Mr. Downey.

"It is for the commission to say," said Dr. Edwards. "This man would not have been here, had he followed the advice given him by the chairman of this commission."

Mr. Stewart naked why a certain keeper had been suspended, and afterwards reduced as a guard. It was found that the man had been found under the influence of liquor.

That the stone pile should be abolished, and that the convicts be provided with the daily newspapers, in its place, was the suggestion made to the Prison Reform Commission, at its session on Thursday morning by an ex-convict from Toronto, who volunteered evidence.

The witness who gave this evidence also criticised some of the statements made by ex-Convict Russell, and made the remark during his evidence that Russell was "talking through his hat."

The commission will adjourn after the evidence of this afternoon has been taken, probably for a week, and maybe for a longer period.

When the Prison Reform Commission met on Thursday morning, Mr. Stewart drew the attention of the commissioners to section 31, of the Penitentiary act, which stated that no officer of the permanent staff could engage in any other trade other than that of work at the penitentlary, without the consent of the governor-in-council.

Mr. Stewart said he made this reference in view of the charges against Dr. Phelan.

John A. Smith, a former guard, was then called. Witness was examined by Dr. Phelan and paid seventy-five cents for the examination. Witness was stationed in the asylum, and was on duty the night an insane convict named Chartrand escaped from the asylum. Witness was suspended the day after Chartrand made his escape.

Dr. Edwards stated that after the witness had been suspended, he had written to Ottawa to have the matter investigated. The secretary to the minister of justice was sent here to investigate. A report of the evidence had been taken and no doubt could be secured.

The escape of Chartrand took place on the night of March 29th, 1912, and the witness went into some of the details. Witness found Chartrand's cell empty, and a "dummy" left in the cell made out of one of the dungeon rugs. Three bars of his cell were found to have been cut, and replaced with pieces of cardboard which had been fitted in and painted.

Witness told about Chartrand having a violin and playing it in his cell. A man might be able to play a violin, and cut the bars of his cell at the same time.

"What are you trying to drive at in this evidence," asked Mr. Downey of Mr. Stewart.

"To show negligence," said Mr. Stewart.

"But can you trace any of this negligence to the deputy warden?"

Mr. Stewart said that it all worked down to the deputy warden.

Witness stated that a knife was found in Chartrand's cell after his escape. The knife was taken in charge by the deputy warden.

"I was suspended by the warden, on the recommendation of the deputy warden, I believe," said the witness.

Witness complained of treatment from the deputy. He wanted te take his little girl to a hospital to be operated upon, and went to the deputy's house at 8 o'clock one morning, to get off duty. The deputy told him his office was at the penitentiary, and that he should take up that matter with him there At 11 o'clock that night, witness secured the permission that was desired.

"What does all this evidence mean?" asked the chairman.

"It goes to show the harsh treatment of the deputy warden towards his men," said Mr. Stewart.

Mr. Whiting then cross-examined the witness. He said he gave evidence at the time of the investigation held by the secretary of the minister of justice. He answered all the questions put to him, at the investigation, but declared he had not been given a chance to tell other things he wanted to tell.

Asked by Mr. Whiting, witness said he had been suspended and discharged.

"Were any charges made against you?" asked Mr. Whiting.

"Yes, there were some charges against me, I believe."

"How many charges?"

"I could not say as to that."

Mr. Whiting then read reports on file at the penitentiary, which showed that Smith, the witness, had been reported on a number of occasions, for not winding up his time clock. As to the complaints of the witness about treatment he had received at the hands of the deputy warden, witness admitted that on the day he wanted to be relieved of duty, he could have gone to the hospital with his little girl, for the operation.

He was able to do so, as he was doing duty at night. The commission at this stage endeavored to get some of the records on file regarding the suspension of Smith, but they couldn't be located. The deputy stated that he had made no written report on Smith, but had reported verbally to the warden.

The chairman did not think that the rules of the institution had been adhered to in the procedure taken. He thought there should have been written report submitted by the deputy.

Mr. Whiting stated that the whole object of the matter was to report the escape of the prisoner to warden, and that the latter was the to investigate. He considered that the right course had been taken.

A book with the orders of suspension were called for, but, strange, to say, although the 'book was left on the table where the commission is in session, on Wednesday afternoon, it could not be found.

The discussion on the dismissal of Guard Smith was then deferred til record's could be secured.

An Ex-Convict Called. An ex-convict, whose name was suppressed by the commission, as the man is out on parole, gave evidence. He volunteered to give evidence, as a result of having heard that the commission would meet to go into the conditions. He had read in the newspapers that Thomas Russell had made some charges about prison food, etc., and that he thought he would come to Kingston and tell what he knew about the conditions.

Witness wrote a letter to the deputy warden regarding the investigation and it was read to the commission. In this letter he denied the statement made by Russell that Roman Catholics were given an advantage. over the Protestants in the different posts of duty.

Witness stated further in his letter that he had a good job as messenger in the kitchen. He considered that this was the best job in the place, and he was a Protestant. "I know for a fact that Russell is talking through his hat."

Witness said he was in the "pen." for twenty-eight months, and had occupied this one position all the time. Asked about Russell's charge that the food was very poor, witness said:

"It is prison food, all right. When a man goes to the penitentiary, he must expect to get food of this kind and different to that which he gets at home. I considered the food pretty fair. The meat was tough at times, but I could always eat it."

Then the witness was asked concerning the conditions in the hospital.

He said he had never been while in the "pen.," but when asked his opinion regarding the hospital, he said the floors and utensils were very dirty.

"What about the stone pile?" the witness was asked.

"I was never on the stone pile and could only tell you what I have heard."

"What about convicts getting tobacco ?"

"I got it occasionally from other convicts."

"From whom did you get it?"

"I can't remember now.'

Witness said he was supplied with chewing tobacco, but no smoking. He did not have to pay for it. As to the charges made by Russell that unnatural charges were committed on the stone pile, witness said that he did not believe it.

"And you say that no preference was shown to the Roman Catholics?"

"No, I don't think so. If a man behaved himself it did not matter what his religion was."

"Did you ever hear this matter dis cussed?"

"I heard it stated that there were always two Roman Catholics in the running."

Asked by Mr. Whiting, witness said that as far as he knew, these men were efficient officers.

"What about the pork complained of by Russell ?"

"Well, some of it WAS pretty strong. But that served from Sunday to Sunday was not so bad."

Mr. Downey asked the witness for his opinion on the system of feeling convicts in their cells.

"I do not like it," said the witness. He thought the suggestion of Mr. Downey, to have the men eat together in a dining room, would be better. He thought such a system would be appreciated by the majority of the convicts.

The evidence then drifted back to the stone pile again, the witness be ing asked to express an opinion.

"Men working on the stone pile soon get that melancholy look," he said. "The work there takes the very heart out of a man."

The stone pile was regarded by the i convicts as a place of punishment. "Occasionally a man asked to be put on, but the majority are crazy to get off. I do not know for a fact of any person's health being injured by the work but I don't see how man could avoid having his health injured.

"What would you recommend in the way of a change?" would say to do away with the stone pile and give the men the daily papers."

Witness stated that when a man served seven or ten years he went out of the prison "dead to all that has happened," as he put it. No newspapers were allowed in the penitentiary. Witness admitted that the convicts generally heard big items of news.

"Did you hear of the Titanic disaster?" asked Mr. Downey.

"Yes, I heard of that."

"It was easier to get tobacco than the newspapers," someone suggested.

Witness stated that one regulation that should be changed was that of the keeping of the convicts in the cells for such a long time, on the occasion of a holiday. For instance, if a holiday occurred on a Monday, a man went into his cell Saturday afternoon, and came out on Tuesday morning. This was certainly a long time for a fellow who could not read.

Witness also complained that he was not allowed to have a toothbrush and no holiday luxuries.

George O. Aiken, appointed a guard in 1902, was called just before the commission adjourned at noon.

The Prison Reform commission has adjourned until next Wednesday morning, when, at 10 a.m., the sessions will be resumed at the penitentiary. The adjournment was made after the hearing on Thursday afternoon.

At the Thursday afternoon session the evidence of some of the present guards and ex-guards was taken, which included complaints they had to make of treatment they had received, and their comment on the management.

G. O. Aiken, one of the guards, was recalled when the commission met on Thursday afternoon.

During the course of his evidence he told of Deputy Warden O'Leary conversing with him on one occasion before an election, when Dr. Edward was nominated as member for Frontenac county. On this occasion the deputy had made the remark that Dr. Edwards had been nominated, but he did not know why, as he did not think much of him.

"What charge does this come under?" asked the chairman. "Political partizanship," remarked Mr. Stewart.

Witness told of a case where he had given reprimanded for not winding up his clock. He had been on duty in the hospital and had stopped to attend to a sick convict. The deputy said to witness, "wind up your clock; you are not responsible if the man dies."

"Is the spy system used by the deputy?"

"Yes, in a good many ways," was the reply.

Witness then complained about the i deputy warden, stating that he went about at nights watching the officials.

"And is that what you call spying?" asked the chairman.

"Is not the deputy responsible, and has he not a right to watch the men?"

"Should the deputy have to ring a bell when he comes around?" asked Mr. Downey.

The chairman - "The rules say that the deputy shall go about and look after the men."

Mr. Downey - "We should not take up the time of the commission on this matter. The deputy has the right to look after his men."

Guard Aiken then told about a telegram being shown to guards at the "pen." on December 19th, 1911. The telegram was one received by Hon. William Harty, from Hon. A. B. Aylesworth, in which the latter stated that he had recommended an increase in salary for the penitentiary officials. A letter from Mr. Aylesworth on the same date to Mr. Harty, referring again to increases for penitentiary officials, was referred to.

The chairman asked that the contents of the telegram and letter be not made public for the present, but that it be handed over to Mr. Whiting.

Mr. Stewart objected to this. He said there may be a dozen more charges laid against officers before the investigation was over. "I'll put in the telegram and letter for what they are worth," said Mr. Stewart.

"There is too much politics in penitentiary matters," said the chairman, hotly, "and we want to keep politics out."

"The way to keep them out is to put these in," said Mr. Stewart.

The chairman - "One party is as much to blame as the other."

Mr. Stewart - "And it should be shown up."

Mr. Stewart then read the letter and telegram referred to, and after it had been read Mr. Whiting said that there was nothing improper about the showing of the letter and telegram.

"And you don't think that was a bad policy?" asked Mr. Stewart of Mr. Whiting.

"They had a perfect right to say just what their policy was and what they intended to do," said Mr. Whiting. "They must have something to go to the country on."

Mr. Whiting then stated that Deputy Warden O'Leary characterized the statement of Guard Aiken as false.

Witness claimed that Dr. Phelan had used improper language towards him, calling him "a d- crank, sneak and disturber." Witness said Dr. Phelan had no reason to use this language towards him.

"And did you think it was import ant enough to repeat to the warden?" asked Mr. Whiting.

"He was away," said the witness, who afterwards stated that Inspector Stewart was in charge. He did not report to him.

Mr. Whiting - "Did you make statement to a man named T. N. Garland, in Ottawa, to the effect that you would not stop until you had Rev. Father McDonald, Deputy Warden O'Leary and Dr. Phelan, all Roman Catholics, out of the penitentiary?"

"No, I did not."

Mr. Whiting - "I have the signature of the man that you did make this statement."

Guard Aiken just before adjournment, on Thursday, stated he had been on duty in the hospital occasionally. He said the sanitary condition was bad. He told of a convict named Paul Brown, a life prisoner. He said Brown had a sore which had not been dressed for eighteen hours.

Samuel A. Greer, guard at the prison from October 1st, 1895, till September 1st, 1907, told of saving a convict Bishop from hanging himself in his cell. He said he was censured by tho deputy warden for not attending to the winding up of his time clock. The deputy told him that if he came across a convict hanging, he was to attend to his clock first. Witness made a verbal report of the case, his explanation was taken, and no action was taken against him.

C. H. Redden, guard, said he had been examined by Dr. Phelan before ne went on the penitentiary staff. He told of having been recommended for a position on the staff, and going to Dr. Phelan to be examined. The doctor told him that there would be a fee of $1.

"And did you pay the fee?" the witness was asked.

"No, I did not. I told him that I would see him later." (Laughter.)

Witness explained that he understood that he would be examined free of charge.

John Bannister, an ex-guard, who went on the job in 1885, and retired March 30th, 1911, was asked if he had any grievance. He complained of being made to work out in the bitter cold on the boats with no shelter in any of the shanties. He said his feet had been frozen, as a result.

James Rutherford, a guard, was questioned regarding the conversation between Dr. Phelan and Guard Aiken, when it was alleged that Dr. Phelan had used bad language towards Aiken.

The witness said he was present and heard some remarks passed by Dr. Phelan towards Mr. Aiken, wit that what the doctor had said was told in the way of a joke, and that neither parties appeared to be angry. This closed t the evidence for afternoon and the chairman the announced that the commission would stand adjourned until Wednesday morning next at 10 o'clock.

Before adjournment Mr. Stewart asked the chairman what the attitude of the commission would be as regards securing the evidence of some of the men who had been mentioned daring the evidence given by other witnesses. There were about ten or twelve men mentioned.

The members of the commission decided to see these men before the next session and decide as to whether the other witnesses would be called.

"At the very least, slow evolutionary change will be feasible through conventional eugenics," Wilson predicted.

And there was the familiar altruism, which Wilson utilized to suggest, among other things, that homosexuality might have a genetic basis. (Homosexuality was strongly expressed in the most intelligent primates; and in primitive human societies, Wilson reasoned, homosexuals could have helped other members of the same sex in their tasks, perhaps benefiting their survival and reproduction rates, with the effect of increasing "the genes these individuals shared with the homosexual specialists.")

Corollaries (PM List)

Jeremy Thorpe and Shirley Williams are said to be Prime Minister contemporaneously with the UNIT stories (Which are assumed here to take place on their airdates as per Mawdryn Undead and most Modern Who references)

In a tweet Jonathan Morris claimed the Prime Minister in Terror of the Zygons or Mawdryn Undead was Brenda Jones, Harriet Jones' auntie. I put this in 1975 (for less than a year) because why not. Ignore this if you think it's bad.

The Torchwood Encyclopaedia claims that Denise Reilly succeeds Brian Green, since the next PM chronologically is ‘Unnamed Female PM from BF Silence Audios’ these have been welded together.

Actual dates of Kenneth Le Blanc and Unnamed Female PM are unknown, but are set in the UNIT audios between Power of Three (2012-2013) and DotD (2013).

Felicity and Fiona are given as PMs in Aliens Among Us and God Among Us (Torchwood S5 and S6) released and presumably set in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

Eight gives the PM list as Heath -> Thorpe -> Williams -> Thatcher -> Major -> Blair -> Clarke in Interference, this is not supported as a direct list by other sources, though I tried to fit it as best I could, resulting in Blair having two non-adjacent terms.

2010s are a mess due to BF, Titan Comics and the Lucy Wilson novels all giving conflicting accounts of who is PM only a couple years apart, apparently there were a lot of elections/resignations in that decade

Harriet Jones initially served Three terms prior to the Doctor altering history and deposing her, given UK Term Length is unclear, it's unknown how long this would have been, I would guess around 15 years, which would've put Harriet Jones at (2006-2021) where she'd be succeeded by Jo Patterson.

The UK becomes a military Dictatorship from 2028 until 2046 headed by ‘The Director’.

Dai is described as the 'first Prime Minister to serve after the Director is overthrown' this seems to contradict 73 Yards depicting Roger ap Gwilliam's election, but if Roger ap Gwilliam was overthrown as well he can't be said to have 'served', his deputy PM, Iris Cabriola technically succeeds him, but is never the official PM and presumably Dai is then elected the following year.

Then in 2050 Lomax is the dictator of the UK. In the 'mid 21st Century', Mariah Learman is a ‘benevolent dictator’ of the UK.

An unknown Prime Minster led the UK during the weather crisis of December 2065.

Donald Trump (2017-2021) (Replaced Daniel Strunk in history)

After 2021

Courtney Woods (unknown-2049-unknown)

Gavin A32X40 (unknown – 2086 – unknown)

Corollaries (President List)

The Eighth Doctor gives the list of Presidents as Carter -> Reagan -> (HW) Bush -> Clinton -> Dering -> Springsteen -> Norris

The President given in 2004 is referred to by the nickname ‘Chuck’ in Cat’s Cradle: Warhead which combined with the fact Springsteen was the President in 2003 and ‘Norris’ succeeded them suggests that the 2004 President was Chuck Norris.

The President in 2006 was implied to be George W Bush based on Harriet Jones’s dialogue. He was previously stated to be President in 2000 (Which he hadn’t been in real life)

Clinton is stated to be President in both 1997 (by metaphor in Placebo Effect) and in 1999 (in Rosa). However both of these are less conclusive than Tom Dering’s direct appearances in Option Lock and and Millennium Shock (also 1997 and 1999) implying that the mentions in Placebo Effect and Rosa were merely off by 1-3 years.

Obama is explicitly stated and shown to be President in 2009, 2012 and 2016, however Felix Mather is stated to be President in the 2010s, physically meeting the Eighth Doctor in Trading Futures. It is stated that Mather’s role in history was replaced due to Mather refusing to make a deal with Faction Paradox and so that has been taken into account.

Concerning the 2017-2021 Presidential Term

Donald Trump is stated to be a candidate in 2016 and is subsequently stated to be President in 2017, 2018 and 2020.

In contradiction, Daniel Strunk is stated to be President in 2017.

This is resolved by having Strunk be Mather’s successor who’s term was also replaced when Faction Paradox remove Mather’s term from history.

The Faction Paradox novel ‘Head of State’ depicts a 2 term Democratic President named Samson who is succeeded by Matt Nelson of a newly formed Radical Party. They are subsequently assassinated by their VP, the sentient humanoid TARDIS Lolita (Who has also been War Queen of Gallifrey and Queen of the UK before, as well as having devoured the Eleven Day Empire). It’s unknown how long she served nor when beyond ‘Early 21st Century’. She (along with Matt Nelson and Samson) have been as a temporal aberration replacing Mather and Strunk before themselves being replaced by Obama and Trump following Lolita’s defeat in True History of Faction Paradox and the ending of the War in Heaven.

A 2000 Bernice Summerfield short story claims Hillary Clinton was US President at some point. However, these records are portrayed as suspect with Bernice questioning them herself and have been ignored for lack of a position to place Clinton into the timeline.

Dubois' bibliography: Fairy books (1)

I talked a LOT before of Pierre Dubois, his famous "Fairy/Elf/Lutin Encyclopedias", his collections of fairytales, and so forth and so on. And yes we have to agree that he has a very free, inventive, poetic style when it comes to retelling the various myths and legends surrounding the fair folk and other supernatural beings. As such, while his books are very entertaining and very beautiful, they are not to be used as a serious research material and can be quite misleading between Dubois' personal inventions, crafted genealogies and fictional history of "Elfland"...

BUT the wonderful and very pleasant thing with Dubois is that at the end of each of his Encylopedias he leaves us with a complete bibliography of all the books he used when writing them. I have rarely stumbled upon such complete bibliographies about the "fair folk", "good neighbor", petit peuple" and so forth, and while it goes a bit beyond what this blog is about (fairy tales proper), I still thought of sharing some of it here because my Dubois posts were all here.

Now, I can't share the entirety of the bibliography because it would be too big. However what I will share is all the books Dubois placed in his bibliography... in English. Indeed, Dubois reads the English and as such a good chunk of his bibliography is English-speaking (there are also some Spanish, Italian and German books in his lists). As such, if you are an English speaker you can easily go check these texts. (Note, this comes from his bibliography of his "Encyclopedia of Fairies", so that we stay within the "fairy tale" theme of this blog)
