Philip Roth: Nemesis | shigekuni.
[It] is a highly infectious viral disease, which mainly affects young children. The virus is transmitted through contaminated food and water, and multiplies in the intestine, from where it can invade the nervous system. Many infected people have no symptoms, but do excrete the virus in their faeces, hence transmitting infection to others. Initial symptoms of polio include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck, and pain in the limbs. In a small proportion of cases, the disease causes paralysis, which is often permanent. Polio can only be prevented by immunization.
Before being virtually eradicated in most first world countries, it wreaked havoc in all of them. To this day roughly 40.000 polio survivors still live in Germany alone. The United States have known several outbreaks of polio before in 1962 a polio vaccine was licensed and distributed. Between 1916 and the late 1950s, polio broke out practically each summer, in various areas of the country, but with varying degrees of aggressiveness. One of the most devastating outbreaks (and easily the most aggressive outbreak since 1916) was the polio epidemic of 1944, which lasted for 5 months and affected just over 17.000 cases. The powerfully frightening effect of the sickness was exacerbated by the fact that people didn’t know yet how to cure the disease or even how it was transmitted. Until the research of Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin and their colleagues bore fruit in the 1950s, polio continuously killed, maimed or at least frightened children and teenagers, as well as their overwhelmed parents. Philip Roth, born in 1933, who was 11 years old at the time of the epidemic, chose to set his most recent book in just that period of time; and as is the case in most of his other recent output, the contact with personal or national history, as well as the impact of memories and the pathos of remembrance invigorates a work that has become tired and dull of late. It’s a joy to see a master craftsman (as Roth proves himself to be even in ridiculous novels such as Everyman) infuse his writing with more than routine.
And as a result of all this, Nemesis, Philip Roth’s 31st book, is easily his best novel in ten years. It’s not perfect, and it doesn’t rise to the same heights as his very best work, but it unites both Roth’s impeccable prose craftsmanship and a compelling story and characters. In the past ten years, after publishing The Human Stain, Philip Roth waited to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. In order to achieve this, he published a short novel once a year for the last five years. All of them could be read as career summoning achievements. Exit Ghost wrapped up the Zuckerman stories, and both Indignation and The Humbling (my review) were epics of getting old, stories that featured the typical Roth protagonist (a mix between Nathan Zuckerman and David Kepesh) as he battled age and decrepitude. Bursting at the seams with a lifetime of learning and misogyny, these are each succinct summaries of Roth’s work. On the other hand, this is unfair, since his work is so much better, fresher and more powerful. In fact, some of these books, especially the miserable Everyman, read like parodies of Roth, or at least like lifeless imitations. Roth doesn’t seem to be able to reach for something new: instead he re-works his old books, and in a way his recent novels present a cruel reading of the Roth oeuvre. None of these books are worth recommending to anyone but die-hard Roth devotees. Nemesis is different. While it does rely a lot on characters and types already developed by its author in previous novels, the result (and the drama) is new, and very, very good. The two Roth novels it is probably closest to are American Pastoral and The Plot Against America, but these are resemblances that are not overt or troubling in any way. Instead, Nemesis seems to be what Roth’s previous 5-6 novels tried but failed to become: a synthesis, a summary of a strand of his work that is more than imitation or creative cut & paste.
Nemesis‘ protagonist is 23 year old Bucky Cantor, a beautiful, strong, virile man, accomplished at sports and dutiful to a fault. Bucky’s grandfather had raised him to “stand up for himself as a man and to stand up for himself as a Jew”, to have pride in what he was and to have both sturdy convictions, as well as the courage to stand by them. Bucky, in many ways, is the ideal soldier and he did attempt to join the army when WWII broke out but due to his poor eyesight he was exempted from military service. Now, in the summer of 1944, while his best friends fight Nazis in France, he is a playground director in Weequahic, Newark, New Jersey. His girlfriend, from a good Jewish family, works at a summer resort and wants him to come as well, but he is loath to abandon his duties at the playground. This reticence only deepens when suddenly kids from his playground start to come down with polio, ending up in iron lungs or dead. Bucky is at a loss how to deal with this. He talks to parents, is attentive as far as hygienic matters are concerned, he tries to look out for the kids, but polio, when it arrives in Weequahic, comes out of nowhere, an invisible enemy, impossible to fight. Early in the book, before Weequahic kids are infected, there is an opportunity to face off against a visible, tangible enemy. “[T]wo cars full of Italians” pull up and Italian boys saunter up to Bucky’s playground, declaring: “we’re spreadin’ polio”. These Italians are from a Newark slum “that had reported the most cases of polio in the city so far”, and Bucky is determined not to let them spread the sickness in his neighborhood, as well. With this confrontation, the book presents its readers with the social and political parameters the rest of the novel will then continue to use. There are the working class boys, determined not to “leave you people out”, i.e. driven by resentment against a better off, healthier part of the city. On the other hand, there are the very uptight, religious, conservative, middle-class citizens of Weequahic, who couldn’t have chosen a better champion for their cause than Bucky.
This opposition is only one side of the coin, however. With the expression “you people”, the Italian ruffians don’t of course merely mean “you rich people”. There is no doubt that “you people” is also simply short for “you Jews”. With this episode placed near the beginning of the novel, we’re soon made to be aware of two levels of signification here. There is the story of Bucky Cantor and his attempt to save the kids of his neighborhood from dying of polio. And there is a clever substructure that plays with notions connected to antisemitism and medieval jew-hate and possibly even Zionism. This is not a full-fledged allegory, rather, Roth has put a few elements into play. There is polio which is clearly a stand-in for the plague. In the Middle Ages, Jews were often scapegoats for outbreaks of the plague. They were said to poison the wells, kill Christian children, etc. In Nemesis, Roth makes two kinds of use of this vile accusation: there are the Italians, who spit on the sidewalk to bring the plague to the Jews, which reverses the situation. And then there is the reaction of the citizens of Newark once polio takes over Weequahic, turning it into the most affected neighborhood: “Some of them sound as if they think the best way to get rid of the polio epidemic would be to burn down Weequahic with all the Jews in it.” Thus, things fall apart in Nemesis. Just as the superior standing of Weequahic residents takes a dive in the course of the book, so does Bucky’s personal life. After confronting the Italians and heading them off, he is left without a clear course of action, so what he does, in a way, is to offer ministration. He visits sick children in the hospital, attends funerals, and is generally the first person to call afflicted families in order to see whether he can help. He tries to ease tensions between various groups of Weequahic residents, and gets the kids out of the glaring sun whenever possible. Small things like that.
It is no accident that Philip Roth named his protagonist “Cantor”, because Bucky fills, in a non-religious, non-musical way, the role that a cantor would play in the spiritual life of a synagogue. There’s also a certain irony in that naming: as the book progresses, and more and more children fall sick or die, Bucky loses his faith in God. Or rather, he still believes God exists, but assumes that God is evil, that, for any of the faithful, it is just a matter of time before “He sticks His shiv in their back.” The primary reason for Bucky’s bitterness is not just the dying kids. It is the insidious way that God seems to kill these children, and the cruel way that He seems to make Bucky the instrument of His murderous game. And while the people of his generation die in the war against Germany (or Japan), the younger generation is struck by invisible bullets, shot from an invisible gun. As we read on and on, Bucky’s story becomes a tragic one. The disastrous developments in the city around him are increasingly mirrored by disastrous developments within himself. There’s his loss of faith, but more importantly, there is his fear of being responsible for everything. When things come to a head in Weequahic, he finally heeds the advice of his girlfriend, and takes up a job at a summer resort far, far away from the polio-ridden streets of Newark. Only it doesn’t take very long until the first boy at that resort, this innocent-seeming paradise (that could, to take up an earlier argument, be seen as a stand-in for Israel, Jews fleeing from Antisemitism, who can’t, ultimately, flee from it because it always catches up with them), until a boy that was under Bucky’s supervision falls ill and is diagnosed with polio. This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Henceforth, Bucky is plagued by the question “Who brought polio here if not me?” We can anticipate that this will happen, because Roth has led us there, with a light and clear narrative.
We are made to see that what happens to Bucky Cantor is, as is the case in all the classic tragedies, necessary, destined, inescapable, because of Bucky’s harmatia. His weakness is his inability to reconcile his poor eyesight with his impeccable body, his amazingly disciplined mind. His eyesight is beyond his control, he can’t will his eyes to see clearer, and so for him, there is a line that connects his body (the body that fails him) first to polio which he doesn’t understand and can’t fight, and then to God, who he can’t fight and at whose mercy he finds himself to be. The inability to deal with bodily imperfection poisons his mind so deeply and thoroughly that everything else that happens follows. It is impossible to describe how different Bucky is from Roth’s usual characters. Roth’s characters, even when they are weak, acknowledge that weakness with a swagger. There is a constant sense of superiority in them. A character who is as desperately earnest as Bucky Cantor is rare in Roth’s work. He does, however, contain characteristic traits from several characters in Roth’s oeuvre. More to the point, he appears to be a mélange of the Swede from American Pastoral and the typical Roth/Zuckermann/Kepesh persona, with added insecurities and earnestness. This focus on character flaws as leading to a tragic destiny is supported by a web of Greek allusions and influences. There is not just the eponymous Nemesis, the Greek spirit of divine retribution. Roth also constructed Bucky Cantor to correspond in several respects to Achilles, and, as with the other subtext, various elements of the story can be seen to have an equivalent in events as re-told by the Illiad or other Greek texts of the period. Apollo’s invisible arrows bringing the plague, Achilles’ unique handsomeness, and his proverbial heel, it all fits the mold.
While none of these two allusions to Antisemitism and to Greek myth, are exact, and used in a thorough manner, they are nevertheless relevant here, and more than just imaginary, because Nemesis puts a strong emphasis (as many of Roth’s novels do) on the process of storytelling, and the reliability of memory and individual stories. Nemesis is not told by Bucky, nor by an omniscient narrator. It is told by someone who was a boy when all this happened. The narrator, for almost the complete novel, is invisible. He refers to himself only once when naming three infected boys, including himself among them. At the end of the book, however, he breaks off the narrative, and returns us to a more contemporary setting. He tells us how he encountered Bucky many years later, and how Bucky then told him his story, which he, in turn, relates to us. In a way, we, Bucky and the narrator are part of a sophisticated game of Chinese whispers, and the mythical and historical parallels and allusions remind us of the fact that Bucky’s story is told to us in a highly complex, clever and accomplished way. How many real people actually resemble Achilles? Really, Nemesis is about the loss of childhood illusions, the loss of unfettered belief in the invincibility of admired authority figures, the loss of security as we enter a life of uncertainties, a world of violence, death and warring faiths. Although the story is literarily heightened, the book still presents a stark look at history, and unlike his previous exercises in considering history, Roth really comes though, this time. There is no sugarcoating at the end, no comforting adage or twist. Nemesis is bleak, moving, and marvelously written. Yes, it is too careful, too timid, too conventional to be great, but it is a very good novel about growing up in the modern world, and the interconnection of American history with Antisemitism, myth and archetype.
A short personal note (January 2013). As I am trying to finish two manuscripts and getting back into reviewing books, I have a hospital bill to pay off, which means all kinds of issues for me. If you have a buck or two to spare, I would be more than thankful. There is a paypal button on the right hand side of this page. That’s just in case you feel charitable. As it is, I am happy enough about every single one of my readers. There are more of you than I ever expected, even through the dry months in the past year, and I am thoroughly humbled. Thank you all.
I enjoyed the review, and it was especially good to hear that a) this novel was better than the recent stretch, and b) that you think Everyman is dreadful, because that’s the novel I picked up when I decided to try reading Roth. I found it so awful that I put it aside (I, who almost always finish books I start – and this one so short, too!) and haven’t gone back to Roth yet. I’m aware that he wrote a few books that everyone agrees are awesome, but that one taste left me really shell-shocked to date… so yeah, I’m relieved that you think it was a particularly bad one too.
On a note unrelated to Roth… you like Roberto Bolano, yes? I read through the mammoth thread about him at the Woods, filled to the brim with arguments about whether he’s really good or really bad, and came out firmly on the side of “whyyyyy the hell am I not reading this guy, right NOW?” I’m hoping to read 2666 over winter break and am very excited by the prospect. What do you think about Bolano these days? I believe that in your last post in that thread, you wrote that you were becoming more impressed by the Savage Detectives the more time passed since you read it. Which of his other books would you say are worth reading?
I share your attitude towards the book. Too many thick books here at the moment though.
“Everyman”, well, it is Roth distilled. It is to Roth’s work what “Fury” is to Rushdie’s, or “Cosmopolis” to DeLillo’s. It’s like a parody, and a horrendous book overall, but it does point out general problems and weaknesses in his work in general. If you think of reading Roth again, read “The Ghost Writer”. I think it’s one of Roth’s most distinctive and best books, plus it’s short, and really, really well made.
Your comments on this novel, and the later Roth in general, are quite interesting. This is the first of his novels I’ve read since _American Pastoral_ and I was surprised by the lack of his characteristic liveliness in a narrative that, nonetheless, has a powerful overall arc. (The prose feels wooden in places and the dialogue, especially but not only in the last section, seem more like speeches rather than like ordinary conversation.) Still I think the concluding section shows that _Nemesis_ is Roth’s theodicy, and, coming late in his career and life, it holds our interest as such.
Like you, I think very highly of _The Ghostwriter_ but I also have fond memories of an early Roth novel I don’t see much discussed these days: _My Life as a Man_.
I was troubled by that last section. It’s extremely explicitly a theodicy, I think the word “theodicy” itself makes an appearance, and when a writer is this explicit, it’s hard not to read it as a function of the novel rather than a declaration isn’t it? I found the prose excellent, yet not lively, no.
IF you want to read someone praising “My Life as a Man”, I recommend Adam Levin’s debut novel “The Instructions”, the protagonist of which is not only an avid fan of Mr. Roth, but, at one point in the book, sets aside some time to discuss that book specifically (he suspects his mother had given it to him to dissuade him from having a gentile girlfriend).

DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar is a fully threaded self-drilling system installed into loose or collapsing soils without the need for casing. The bar features a hollow bore which enables it to be simultaneously drilled and grouted. The hollow bar incorporates a left-hand thread for standard rotary percussive drilling.
Manufactured from high grade steel tubing to EN 10083-1, DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar is cold rolled to form standard rope thread or “T” thread profiles. The DYWI® Drill rolling process refines the grain structure of the steel, increasing the yield strength and producing a robust drill steel suitable for a range of drilling and grouting applications.
The DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System includes a full range of drill bits, adaptor sleeves, couplers, nuts and bearing plates. In addition, the range of DYWI® Drill injection adaptors and drill tooling enables the hollow bar to be used with a wide range of drilling equipment.
Bars can be drilled into loose or collapsing soils without the need for a casing to support the borehole.
Continuous thread ensures that rods can be cut and coupled at any point, or extended.
Grout is injected at all points of the borehole as drilling is advanced, permeating the local strata for increased bond performance and producing bulbing in softer sections of the soil.
This drilling technique is highly efficient, ensures good directional stability of the drill string and helps to consolidate the grout within the borehole.
Both the Rope threads and “T” threads provide a strong and robust thread ensuring a high level of bond with the borehole grout.
The self-drilling function enables bars to be drilled into most ground conditions for both tension or compression applications, and is also used as an injection conduit.

You may not have noticed it yet here, but I love OpenBSD. I keep that pretty close to the vest, I know.
I just finished upgrading my Thinkpad T42 to the latest OpenBSD 4.2-current snapshot and thought I should share my upgrade process. Over the past few releases of OpenBSD, the process has gotten steadily easier. Marc Espie has almost single handedly overhauled the ports system (here, here and here to cite a few examples) into a robust, easy to upgrade system. And I especially like the clear distinction between the system base and add-on packages.
And, at this point, it's only slightly more work to create a port for new software instead of running make install to just install something into /usr/local/foo. The whole system has seen improvements, but I only pick on ports and packages because they'd been traditionally been more difficult to upgrade (you used to have to remove all packages and install the new ones). Even with the new packaging enhancements, though, on a production server it's a good idea to spend time comparing old configuration options to new configuration options to make sure the new versions of your applications do what you expect.
I download the newest snapshots from my favorite mirror.
I copy bsd.rd to / and reboot.
I type bsd.rd at the "boot>" prompt and go through the "(U)pgrade" process almost choosing defaults the whole way through.
I then remove lines for all of the ports I want and run: for f in `cat ~/pkgs`; do sudo pkg_delete $f; done a couple times to remove packages I really don't want. Dependencies for the packages I DO want nicely give error messages and are not removed.
[Update 2007-08-18]: As Antoine Jacoutot (ajacoutot@) pointed out, I am stupidly deleting the beautiful OpenBSD artwork in this step. So either also untar xetc42.tgz into /tmp/foo when running mergemaster in the next step or also run tar -xvzpf xbase42.tgz ./etc -C / && tar -xvzpf xshare42.tgz ./etc -C /. Thanks Antoine.
Then I reboot one last time and I'm off and running.
Not including the download of the installation sets, the whole process took less than 20 minutes and I was back in X. It took longer to write this post than to upgrade my laptop.

This tutorial lecture was delivered by Dr. Fabia Gozzo at the International Summer School on Structure Determination from Powder Diffraction Data at the Paul Scherrer Institute, June 18th-22nd, 2008. She was at this time beamline scientist at the Swiss Light Source Materials Science Powder Diffraction station. The lecture begins with a historical overview on synchrotron radiation where she explains what SR is and how it is produced. The role of SR in XRPD is, then extensively discussed and the attention brought on those experimental details that need to be taken into account to build an ultra-high synchrotron powder diffraction laboratory. Finally she discusses how to correctly plan a SR-XRPD experiment and gives a brief introduction to the important concepts of Peak Shape Function and Instrumental Resolution Function.
The role of Synchrotron X-Ray Powder Diffraction and Near Infra-Red spectroscopy for qualitative and quantitative analysis of pharmaceuticals is discussed. In particular, the complementary character of SR-XRPD and NIR analytical tools is analyzed.

The root chakra is about earthly matters such as safety, security, survival, base instincts, finances and work.
As an intuitive energy healer, I often feel peoples stresses or worries about money, finances and career issues this energy area, as well as deep-seated fears and issues about security or not feeling stable, secure or like they belong here on earth.
Having a strong, healthy, balanced root chakra is vital to feel grounded in life.

Bragging rights and medals will be on the line at Queenscliff Beach on Sydney’s Northern Beaches this weekend as crews prepare to do battle at the 2019 Best of the Best Surf Boat Interbranch Championships.
Over 200 talented athletes will swap club caps for branch caps in this representative hit-out that brings the best surf boat competitors together for an exciting day of competition.
Points will be at a premium throughout the event with every race counting towards the final tally and the chance to be crowned champion.
In a sign of the growing strength of the sport 7 branches will be fielding teams across the event with male and female races conducted in the U19, U23, Open Reserve, and Open Divisions.
Additionally the competition will conclude with a surf boat relay, which is always a highlight as it demonstrates a team’s strength across the divisions in an event where the lead always changes.
By virtue of a shorter travelling distance and running well established surf boat series the branch team of Hunter, Central Coast, Sydney, and Sydney Northern Beaches will field a team in every division.
Illawarra, Far South Coast, and Mid North Coast will also be competing with the latter two taking advantage of the draft rule to allow them to enter the competition in more races.
NSW Surf Sports Manager Rob Pidgeon believes the stage is set for a competitive carnival.
“We’re delighted that the Interbranch Competition will again take place this season and would like to thank Queenscliff SLSC and the organising committee for their hard work as hosts.
“We believe that the surf boat community will come together for a great competition which is a culmination of our desire and vision to streamline the sport and offer more opportunities for high class racing in all divisions,” Mr Pidgeon said.
Most competitors will be in action at the forthcoming State and Australian Championships with this weekend’s race an opportunity to iron-out the kinks before a packed end to the season in March and April.
The long range forecast moderate swell around 2-3 foot on Sunday and event organisers are hoping for favourable conditions.

2000 AD's 40th birthday - full line-up and schedule announced!
Full guest list, schedule, and features revealed for special 40 years of 2000 AD celebration!
2000 AD is proud to unveil the full guest list and schedule for the sold-out 40 Years of Thrill-power Festival on 11th February.
Featuring more than 140 guests from four decades of 2000 AD, the 40 Years of Thrill-power Festival on 11th February in Hammersmith, London, is the biggest and best 2000 AD convention ever – with special panel discussions, live drawing, exclusive film screenings, interactive features, prop displays, and exclusive merchandise.
The sold-out festival forms the centre of celebrations marking the 40th birthday of 2000 AD, one of the world’s most influential comics.
Representing the cream of British comics, the breathtaking guest list includes Al Ewing, Alan Grant, Andy Diggle, Arthur Ranson, Carlos Ezquerra, Charlie Adlard, Chris Weston, Dan Abnett, Dani, Dave Gibbons, Dermot Power, Duncan Fegredo, Emma Beeby, Frazer Irving, Glenn Fabry, Jesus Redondo, John Wagner, Jock, Rob Williams, Simon Bisley, and many, many more.
From the DREDD movie prop exhibition to interactive displays to live drawing, fans who’ve managed to secure tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime event are in for a Thrill-powered treat like no other!
Become enraptured, entertained, and educated by a full panel schedule that includes talks with legends such as Wagner, Mills, Ezquerra, McMahon, and Gibbons, while also looking ahead with fresh new talent, and even going behind the scenes with editors and designers past and present.
Hit the Iso-Cube stage to watch top artists draw masterpieces before your very eyes as they discuss what it takes to be an artist for 2000 AD.
Relax at the special Sláine-themed bar before hitting the MC1: Artist’s Mega-Way to meet your favourite creators, get your Progs signed, or secure a sketch, or get in line for one of the dedicated signing slots with renowned creators from the past 40 years.
Check out the show-exclusive merchandise before heading over to browse at the displays from 2000 AD’s licensees, from T-shirts and mugs, to toys and replicas, from art prints to back issues!
Get your perp-rags on and get a photo of yourself on the mean streets of Mega-City One with the exclusive Perp Photobooth!
And the day wraps up with a special screening of Future Shock: The Story of 2000 AD as well as the premiere of the fan film based on John Wagner, and Carlos Ezquerra’s Strontium Dog.
2000 AD is also organising a series of satellite events to celebrate this landmark – events already announced include a special life drawing event in London on 5th February and two exhibitions of original artwork in London and Margate, with more announcements to be made!
First published in February 1977, 2000 AD is the legendary weekly British anthology comic and home of Judge Dredd, as well as a galaxy of original sci-fi, fantasy, and horror action stars. As well as producing innovative and provocative comics for almost 40 years, it has brought the industry some of its biggest talents, from Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Mark Millar, to Jock, Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, and many more. Published in print and digital every Wednesday, 2000 AD is the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic and remains at the industry’s cutting edge.
2000 AD has been generating new characters and series for 40 years and two of our most prolific and popular writers, Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton, are joined their regular collaborators D’Israeli and INJ Culbard, to talk about what it takes to build new worlds and new civilisations for 2000 AD, and how these worlds evolve and change over time.
Three of the biggest names ever to grace the pages of 2000 AD come together for one unmissable panel. From Mick’s early work on Judge Dredd and Sláine, to Alan’s incredible writing on Anderson PSI Division and Mazeworld, and Dave’s groundbreaking work on Dan Dare and Rogue Trooper, this trio helped define 2000 AD’s earliest days and set it on its path to greatness. Listen to them discuss their groundbreaking work and the industry-shaping careers it launched.
Four creators – and we didn’t think it too many! A panel filled with iconic artists discussing their work on Pat Mills’ Celtic saga, from Glenn Fabry’s incredible black and white line work of the ‘80s to Simon Bisley’s groundbreaking painted art on The Horned God and into the 21st Century with Clint Langley and Simon Davies.
One of, if not the single most important partnerships in comics, the creators of Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog come together again to talk about four decades of working together, how their characters have grown and evolved, and what makes them such enduring icons. A not-to-be-missed opportunity to hear John and Carlos as they celebrate 40 years of 2000 AD.
From Sláine to Nemesis the Warlock to ABC Warriors, from Invasion to Flesh to Defoe, hear about the career of 2000 AD’s creator and first editor in his own words. From his groundbreaking work on Action and Battle to his genre-busting writing for 2000 AD, and his brand new crime thriller, Read Em and Weep, Pat Mills talks candidly about his time at the cutting edge of comic books.
From the team behind the acclaimed Judge Minty fan film comes their take on John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s mutant bounty hunters Johnny Alpha and Wulf Sternhammer. Co-directed by fans Steven Sterlacchini and Steve Green this is 100% unofficial but 100% zarjaz!
This is the story of 2000 AD told by those who were there in a comprehensive warts-and-all overview of the birth of this violent, anti-authoritarian, darkly funny, and idiosyncratically British comic book. In a new cut created especially for 2000 AD’s 40th birthday, round off this special celebration by hearing from creators, staff, and famous fans alike about what makes the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic so special.
It’s been four decades since 2000 AD blazed into the Thrillosphere, but what does the future hold for Britain’s biggest comics export? Owners Jason and Chris Kingsley kick off our celebration of 2000 AD with a discussion about their plans for the next 40 years!
Two of 2000 AD’s most distinctive, versatile and mind-bending talents, the work of Peter Milligan and Robbie Morrison has pushed the boundaries of storytelling in surprising, imaginative, and shocking ways, from Bad Company to Counterfeit Girl, from Judge Dredd to Nikolai Dante. Join them in an intimate conversation with Jason Atomic to journey into the outer limits of the mind.
Three of 2000 AD’s newest talents discuss their approaches to writing for the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, from compressed storytelling to creating compelling characters, from the challenges of working on some of the most famous characters in British comics to combining humour, pathos, and high-octane action in a single strip.
John Higgins, Ian Kennedy and Jesus Redondo discuss British comics rich history and the lasting influence those million-selling comics had on comics storytelling, not just in the UK but beyond. Find out more about titles you may remember like the early 2000 AD and companion titles such as Starlord and Tornado, as well as Action, Commando, Eagle, Lion, Tiger, Thunder, Valiant - and more!
2000 AD’s track record for discovering and nurturing new talent is second to none and six creators fresh to our pages come together to talk about picking up the torch of Thrill-power for a new generation.
From smashing deadlines to cajoling creators, they’re the behind-the-scenes droids who make sure 2000 AD lands on time every week. For the first time these four iconic editors meet together on one panel to talk about their experience of being at the helm of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

Labour Behind the Label works tirelessly to improve the garment industry and the lives of those who make our clothes.
When workers face a breach of their human rights we will step in. We liaise with brands and seek remedy for workers. Whether that’s getting their jobs back or getting severance pay because their factory closed down or were dismissed illegally. We take our direction from workers who we know are best positioned to shape their own demands.
There is often a disconnect between those who make our clothes and those who wear them. We aim to bridge this gap and do this in a number of ways. By delivering speaker tours and bringing in the voices of workers to ensure they are heard. By sharing stories of worker struggles and standing in solidarity when workers might be striking or demonstrating. We believe in power in numbers and this can be seen right through our work from collaborating with national and international groups to amplify our campaigns to building our army of activists.
If a brand is sourcing from a factory which becomes involved in a disaster (such as a fire or building collapse) or a dispute about wages, we will make sure that the brand is responsible for its workers and finds a solution. If a brand states in their code of conduct or their latest sustainability report that they will be delivering a living wage, we check what they say and demand they stick to their word. Governments too have a duty to act to protect human rights. We use legal and voluntary measures to push both brands and governments for human rights and decent work.
Our research influences policy. We investigate claims by brands and produce research to highlight inconsistencies between what brands say and what they actually do. We research supply chains to uncover poor practices such as homeworkers in India who stitch our shoes for poverty pay and without any social security or benefits. Our research garners far reaching support with academics, students, journalists and policy makers all referencing our work.
Much of the work we do is behind the scenes. Meetings, phone calls, conference calls, letter writing and email exchange to get workers’ demands heard and met. But when for example a brand doesn’t cooperate, continue to brush their human rights abuses under the carpet, or aren’t interested in an important piece of policy that will improve the industry, we will go public and organise demonstrations to gather public support. What we want is for workers to work and live in dignity but when brands ignore us and workers’ demands, we can’t, and don’t, stay quiet.

It’s been a long time coming, but Firefox OS has finally made its way onto a phone from a from a major smartphone vendor. The LG Fireweb, LG’s first ever Firefox OS device, debuted in Brazil on Tuesday along with the Alcatel One Touch Fire. The LG Fireweb will feature a 4-inch screen with a 480 x 320 pixel display, 1GHz Qualcomm processor, 5-megapixel camera, 4GB of internal storage, and the ability to expand to 32GB with microSD support. The entry-level specs might not attract smartphone users in the market for the most advanced handset, but the $129 BRL ($59 USD) price tag on contract at Vivo Brazil could make this a great jumping off point for Firefox OS. A demonstration video from Mozilla follows below.

He has one of the most distinctive voices in all of music. The moment you hear Steve Winwood, you know it! And Winwood has been a big part or the rock music scene for a very long time. He’s nearly 71 now… and he joined The Spencer Davis Group when he was just 14.
It’s hard to believe it was nearly 20 years ago, but Eric Clapton and B.B. King got together and recorded a truly great album back in the year 2,000. You know when a couple of guitar geniuses get together, they’re going to create something really great.
“Walking in rhythm, moving in sound. Humming to the music, trying to move on. I’m walking in rhythm, singing my song. Thinking about my baby. Trying to get home.” That’s pretty much it for the lyrics of today’s song. It’s just a carefree, happy tune, and it’s good enough for me!
Get ready for some Van Halen rock n roll! And you have to promise me you’ll crank this one up, because it can’t be fully appreciated unless it’s listened to LOUD! VAN HALLEN dominated much of the 80’s with its own special brand of rock music, featuring the heavy guitar licks of Eddie Van Halen, and the pounding drums of his brother, Alex.

Addiction is a vicious cycle that can be very difficult to break without access to the right support. People who misuse drugs and alcohol often face devastating impacts on their emotional, mental and physical health.
The reasons why people develop addictions vary, but may include using addictive substances to deal with grief or loss, experiences of trauma or violence, or mental health issues.
The Mission provides a range of services for people struggling with addiction, including assessments, a residential social detoxification centre (‘Elm Street’) and a team of Community Alcohol & Drug Workers.
The Mission has been a godsend for our family. No one else would help us as we struggled with our son’s binge drinking.
To speak with an Alcohol & Drug Community Worker, phone 09 303 3016 between 9am – 5pm, or email us.
Vocational training and voluntary support.

The U12 had their first match in the South Down league against neighbouring club Clonduff under new manager Paddy Lock. The young blues got off to a great start with an opening goal from the excellent midfielder Ciaran, but Clonduff were quick to reply and equalised shortly after. An own goal from Clonduff saw Cumann Pheadaír Naofa leading again, but the yellas were quick to equalise. Cumann Pheadaír Naofa had strong forwards in Jamie, Lorcan and Oisin and were soon in front again with a goal from Jamie ensuring the teams were level at half time. Then some great defending from John Joe, Eoin and Jason kept the score line close as midfielders Oisin and Oliver both scored some wonderful points leaving it a very tight game.
In the last 5 minutes the blues were trailing by 3 points when Oisin got a free from the half forward line and put it in the back of the net beating 3 defenders and goalkeeper. Clonduff came back strongly, but for some fine defending from Finn and Ethan they managed to get a point leaving the score line Clonduff 4-5 to Cumann Pheadaír Naofa 4-5.

Today, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will finally let us see what the surface of Pluto looks like up close. And thanks to a new interactive website called Lightyear.fm, we already know what Plutonians are listening to: either “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap or "Sugar" by Maroon 5.
The caveat, to that, of course, is it's what they're listening to if they can pull in radio broadcasts from Earth. Lightyear.fm essentially takes the opening scene of the 1997 film Contact and makes it a functional interactive experience. Once you load up the site, your eyeballs are treated to a flight through space while your ears learn how long it would take radio broadcasts from Earth to make that same journey.
It may sound complicated, but calculating the reach of radio waves over time and space is really straightforward. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, so if you were one light year away from Earth—that’s 5.9 trillion miles—you’d hear broadcasts from a year ago. And it may have taken New Horizons nearly a decade to get close to Pluto, but the dwarf planet is a mere five light-hours or so from Earth. Every known planet or former planet in our solar system would still be hearing contemporary jams broadcast in the last few hours.
Three of the members (writer Chris Baker, developer Mike Lacher, and designer Brian Moore) of Lightyear.fm’s team have worked together before on independent creative projects. Lacher built the audio system for the site, Moore designed the site interface, and Baker made sure the tunes were legit.
“He spent a lot of time ensuring that tracks were accurate and correctly named, so as to avoid the mortifying possibility of hearing a cover band’s version of ‘Maneater’ instead of Hall and Oates’ original opus,” says Lacher.
But it was a faraway hired gun that helped make the “3D traveling through space” part of the site a reality. It wasn’t a matter of light years, but there was a lot of distance to overcome in making the space flight work.
Baker, Lacher, and Moore are all based in Brooklyn, but Chernov resides in St. Petersburg, Russia. He replied to a want ad for a Three.js developer the team posted on Elance, liked the idea for the site, and was willing to do the project for a fraction of what they thought they’d need. Baker says the entire project ended up costing a bit more than a thousand dollars.
We'll keep it updated until Rebecca Black’s 'Friday' makes it to the first Earth-like planet with possibility of life.
The playlist at each point in space is based on the top 10 or so songs from Billboard charts in the corresponding year. The team admits that it’s not exactly chronological within each year: The tracks from each year are shuffled, so ”it’s a small taste of what’s most likely to be playing out there in that time,” Moore explains.
If you want to experience the site, you should act quickly: There is a possibility it won’t survive due to usage rights for the songs. Baker hopes that because the site is non-profit and serves an educational purpose, using eight-second clips of each song can be considered fair use.
So what soundtrack of space travel best suits the developers? If the team members were marooned in space with just a pocket radio, Baker would choose to be about 40 to 50 light-years out, where he can enjoy the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Moore would pick somewhere several trillion years closer.
Once you reach really deep space, the soundtrack gets downright eerie: A mashup of the sights from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and the sounds from The Shining.
“Out past maybe 80 light-years, every band is a name with ‘& His Orchestra’ appended to it,” says Lacher.
Of course, to keep the site accurate, there’s a hurdle: The team will need to keep the songs updated at each point in the celestial timeline to keep up with new releases and songs getting older. This will need to be done manually, as there’s no automated process to update songs and move older tunes farther away from Earth. However, the team wants to keep the spacetime sync as up-to-date as possible—within limits for the good of the universe.

Wiscasset’s first annual Community Roadside Trash Pickup Day will be held Saturday, April 27 from 8 a.m. to noon.
Volunteers will meet at the Wiscasset Municipal Building parking lot at 7:45 a.m., the rolling road block with Wiscasset Fire Department, and the police department.
Volunteers are needed. Grades nine through 12 can come and earn community service hours.
Keep Wiscasset beautiful: Litter is an eyesore. Studies show that litter can negatively impact one’s sense of community and safety. Pride in one’s community encourages others to do the same.
Protect children: Litter can pose a health and safety risk, especially to curious children who are more likely to pick items up.
Protect wildlife: Litter poses a threat to local wildlife when they confuse it for food or nesting materials. When litter gets into waterways, it eventually ends up in the ocean. Marine litter can be deadly to seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals.
Fitness goals: A great way to kill two birds with one stone — “walking and squatting” – making it easier to achieve fitness goals.
Costs: Litter cleanups cost the U.S. $11.5 billion a year and that figure doesn’t include indirect costs, such as decreased property values, commerce, and tourism. These costs are shared by the government and local businesses.

For serious shoppers, holiday shopping is like the playoff game of the year. If you’re not brave enough to brave Black Friday crowds, don’t worry. Cyber Monday shopping is like Black Friday shopping in the comfort of your own home. Say goodbye to crowds, fatigue from walking around, and arguing with other shoppers. We’ve gathered some of our favorite Cyber Monday shopping tips for you below!
Have a plan. Give yourself plenty of time to get online and get what you need and get off. Before you start, have a blueprint so you don’t get overwhelmed midway through shopping.
Practice patience. Before you get online, remember websites will crash, take longer to load, or items will sell out. Try to prepare yourself for these situations so you can handle them.
Talk to your friends about their Cyber Monday experiences. While shopping with others may be chaotic, Cyber Monday shopping is no fun alone. Maybe you guys can shop together or share awesome sales or coupons. It never hurts to shop in a group!
Be courteous to employees. Keep in mind, tech support is probably getting a million questions just like yours. Try to be respectful and remember they’re doing their best to help you!
Stay positive. Don’t allow yourself to get upset, frustrated, or hopeless. Stick to the plan and you’ll have your wishlists clear before you know it!
Don’t be a hoarder. Please allow others to get what they want for their families, too! Only buy what you need and don’t buy an entire’s store supply of Christmas socks. Nobody likes a hoarder!
Avoid calls, social media, or replying to texts. I know this sounds a little crazy. However, using your phone can cost you that last TV or laptop you really wanted. Focus on shopping, worry about Facebook later.
Observe store rules. Whether you’re shopping in-store or online, there are always rules. Go with the flow and don’t get upset if you’re not able to bend the rules.
Have fun. You may not be able to get everything on your list, but breathe! More than likely you got some awesome deals and you did pretty dang good. Try to have fun and get excited to spend the holidays with your family!
10. Go directly to a store’s website instead of using search engines to look for deals. If you happen to find a deal using a search engine, try to verify it by searching for the exact name of the deal in quotes. If it’s a scam, then it’s likely someone will have already put out a warning.
Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping can be overwhelming. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done without having a panic attack. What are some of your favorite tips for Cyber Monday shopping? Leave your comments below!

Due to the hardness of quartz, which is measured as seven out of ten, as opposed to organic material, such as helmet shell, which is measured as two out of ten on the Mohs Hardness scale, many fantastic hardstone cameos have withstood the test of time compared to the softer, more easily damaged organic cameos.
Hardstone cameos of great artistry have been recovered, dating back as far as the third century BC.The detail achievable on what is known as hardstone cameos can be both exquisitely delicate and intricately carved. Utilizing the contrasting colours found naturally in many quartz minerals such as sardonyx and banded agates, the artist can create a boldly contrasting or delicately multi layered, coloured portrait, sometimes retaining three or even four colours.
Hardstone cameos are difficult & time consuming to carve, thus requiring the extraordinary skill, patience and artistic vision of master crafts people and fetching high prices, both presently and historically. The motifs used in hardstone cameos often include classical beauties and neo-classical Grecian and Roman scenes.

A UK REIT comprises of a company that carries on a property investment business in which properties are let to tenants. UK REITs benefit from an exemption from UK tax on both rental income and gains relating to their property investment business. On an on-going basis, the REIT business has to meet certain tests as well as being required to distribute 90 per cent of its rental income in respect of each accounting period in order to obtain exemption from tax on its rental income. The requirements to qualify for REIT status include tests such as those listed below.
At least 75 per cent of the UK REITs gross assets must be used in the rental business and at least 75 per cent of the UK REITs profits must be earned in its qualifying rental business.
Members of a UK REIT may have other activities. Such activities must not involve more than 25 per cent of the UK REITs gross assets, nor generate profits of more than 25 per cent. Such tests are carried out using the consolidated group results as set out in financial statements produced using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with adjustments for non- recurring or distortive items, e.g. movement on hedging, one-off transactions.
Only rental profits and gains realised on the disposal of properties used in the UK property rental business will be exempt from tax.
There must be at least three properties with no one property accounting for more than 40 per cent of the value of the REIT assets (note, a single property which is multi-tenanted such as a shopping centre will count as more than one asset).
Property development by the UK REIT for investment on its own account is permitted, and is generally included within the property rental business unless development costs exceed 30 per cent of the acquisition cost (or the property’s value at the time of entry to the REIT regime if higher) and the property is sold within 3 years of completion.
Property trading is permitted but is taxable, and falls outside of the property rental business for the purpose of the balance of business restrictions.
There are no restrictions on foreign assets, the UK REITs may invest outside the UK in real estate wherever located.
This link below provides a summary of the UK REIT Regime below is intended to be a general guide only and constitute a high-level summary of the Company’s understanding of certain aspects of current UK law and HMRC practice relating to the UK REIT Regime, each of which is subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. It is not an exhaustive summary of all applicable legislation in relation to the REIT Regime. The UK REIT Regime was introduced by the UK Finance Act 2006 and subsequently re-written into Part 12 of the CTA 2010.

The great benefits to health and vast enjoyment people get from soccer should be there for everyone. Unfortunately, many people still do not understand the basic concepts of this sport. If you are one of these people, read this article to learn all about soccer.
TIP! Don’t try to make a goal unless your position is good. If the field in front of you is fraught with defenders, look around for a teammate in a better position.
The cleats you should choose will depend on your skill level. New players ought to get plastic or synthetic cleats. As you become more advanced, you may want to buy cleats with interchangeable screw-in cleats that can be changed depending on the surface and weather.
Balls that are lofted are really tough to control. It’s better to concentrate on low-level passes that are fast and direct. Do this just as the opponent gets near you. Do not loft the ball unless you are making a longer pass to an empty area.
TIP! Always try your best not to collide with other people when you’re on the soccer field. Anticipate where the defender is heading to avoid contact.
Surprise is a useful tool when on the soccer field. Dribble to the right and push the pass to your left. This may surprise your opponent, giving your teammates room to make a move. While it could surprise your teammates at first, in the end they’ll start to get used to how you play.
If you’re trying to play soccer well, you have to remember that staying fit is key. If you gain a bit of extra weight, you may find that the game will be difficult for you. Watch how much you’re eating and what you’re eating so you’re sure you’re on a diet that works with you.
TIP! Don’t hesitate to move the ball to an open teammate if you find yourself pressured by the opponents. They’ll have a second or two before defenders are near them.
You have to wear the ideal shoes on the playing field. Football cleats or running shoes are completely unsuitable. Wearing the wrong shoes can cause you to hurt yourself or injure another player.
Find players with higher skills than yours and ask to practice with them. Doing this will cause you to be challenged, which will cause you to naturally improve. Ask them the questions you have so you can learn a lot from others. The majority will be more than happy to assist you because they understand what it takes to work as a team. If there are no experienced players in your area, check out other clubs and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
TIP! You can throw off an opponent by dribbling opposite of the direction you are headed in. The defender will probably go after you and then you can change your path quickly once they are moving with you.
To be in good soccer shape you should run at least three miles every day. You must be in great cardiovascular shape since soccer demands lots of continuous running. You will increase both your stamina and endurance if you run at least three miles daily. Vary the locations that you run in to keep things interesting.
Observe how a professional player plays your position. If your try to copy his techniques, it could help you improve your skills. You can even learn his signature moves and try them for yourself.
Understand that the game of soccer is extremely physical. Don’t worry about colliding with someone. Playing a physical game doesn’t make you a dirty player. Kicking another person because you can is dirty, however being rough isn’t. Master your fear of playing a physical game. Always wear soccer pads to protect your legs.
TIP! It’s crucial that you communicate with your teammates. Communication between teammates is essential on the field.
In the game of soccer, you can improve not only your health, but your mental state as well. It may be that you could benefit from picking up the sport, but have just been lacking the know-how up until now. By learning more about the game, you can give soccer a try and see if it is right for you.

"Hemispheric Regional Based Analysis of Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Di" by Mahdi Alizadeh, Lauren Kozlowski et al.
This article has been peer reviewed. It is the author’s final published version in Scientific Reports, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2019, Article number 215.
The published version is available at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-36818-x. Copyright © Alizadeh et al.
Imaging in the field of epilepsy surgery remains an essential tool in terms of its ability to identify regions where the seizure focus might present as a resectable area. However, in many instances, an obvious structural abnormality is not visualized. This has created the opportunity for new approaches and imaging innovation in the field of epilepsy, such as with Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Diffusion Tensor Tractography (DTT). In this study, we aim to evaluate the use of DTI and DTT as a predictive model in the field of epilepsy, specifically Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE), and correlate their clinical significance with respect to postsurgical outcomes. A hemispheric based analysis was used to compare the tract density, as well as DTI indices of the specific regions of interest from the pathologic hemisphere to the healthy hemisphere in TLE patients. A total of 22 patients with TLE (12 males, 10 females, 22-57 age range) underwent either a craniotomy, Anterior Temporal Lobectomy (ATL), or a less invasive method of Selective Laser Amygdalohippocampectomy (SLAH) and were imaged using 3.0 T Philips Achieva MR scanner. Of the participants, 12 underwent SLAH while 10 underwent ATL. The study was approved by the institutional review board of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. All patients had a diagnosis of TLE according to standard clinical criteria. DTI images were acquired axially in the same anatomical location prescribed for the T1-weighted images. The raw data set consisting of diffusion volumes were first corrected for eddy current distortions and motion artifacts. Various DTI indices such as Fractional Anisotropy (FA), Mean Diffusivity (MD), Radial Diffusivity (RD) and Axial Diffusivity (AD) were estimated and co-registered to the brain parcellation map obtained by freesurfer. 16 consolidated cortical and subcortical regions were selected as regions of interest (ROIs) by a functional neurosurgeon and DTI values for each ROI were calculated and compared with the corresponding ROI in the opposite hemisphere. Also, track density imaging (TDI) of 68 white matter parcels were generated using fiber orientation distribution (FOD) based deterministic fiber tracking and compared with contralateral side of the brain in each epileptic group: left mesial temporal sclerosis (LMTS) and right MTS (RMTS)). In patients with LMTS, MD and RD values of the left hippocampus decreased significantly using two-tailed t-test (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01 respectively) compared to the right hippocampus. Also, RD showed a marginally significant decrease in left amygdala (p = 0.05). DTT analysis in LMTS shows a marginally significant decrease in the left white matter supramarginal parcel (p = 0.05). In patients with RMTS, FA showed a significant decrease in the ipsilateral mesial temporal lobe (p = 0.02), parahippocampal area (p = 0.03) and thalamus (p = 0.006). RD showed a marginally significant increase in the ipsilateral hippocampus (p = 0.05) and a significant increase in the ipsilateral parahippocampal area (p = 0.03). Also, tract density of the ipsilateral white matter inferior parietal parcel showed a marginally significant increase compared to the contralateral side (p = 0.05). With respect to postsurgical outcomes, we found an association between residual seizures and tract density in five white matter segments including ipsilateral lingual (p = 0.04), ipsilateral temporal pole (p = 0.007), ipsilateral pars opercularis (p = 0.03), ipsilateral inferior parietal (p = 0.04) and contralateral frontal pole (p = 0.04). These results may have the potential to be developed into imaging prognostic markers of postoperative outcomes and provide new insights for why some patients with TLE continue to experience postoperative seizures if pathological/clinical correlates are further confirmed.

Art Holman (B.1926)Impresionist Oil painting on Canvas.
" Reflections". Image 26" x 30". Dated 1966. Signed with the artists monogram signiture in the bottom left. Artur Holman was born in Bartlesville,Ok. He studied at the University of New Mexico, BFA 1951; HAS HOFMANN SCHOOL 1951; and the California School of Fine Arts 1953. He is listed in Davenports Art Refrence, Who's Who in American Art,2nd and 3rd Editionsand in the Ask art web site. Known for painting around Califonia. This painting was purchased from Gump's gallery in san Francisco.
I began painting in oils in 1940 - mainly surrealism, which seemed mysterious and provacative at the time. Studying in New Mexico in the later 40's provided me with wonderful landscape possibilities, working mostly in caesin.
Moving to the Bay Area in the 50's meant a whole new environment. The landscapes morphed into colorfield painting in the late 50's, for about five years, but I returned to landscape as I moved to San Geronimo Valley in the middle 60's. These landscapes have been in oil, in various aspects of abstraction.

Autumn. Although from a strictly astronomical standpoint, autumn is still two weeks away. Its crept upon us though and it is making its presence known. Its in the air. Summer is drawing to a close. Today is Labour Day and tomorrow, school starts again for another year. There is a crispness in the air, and the temperature has cooled. The light has become clear and bright, and the sunsets are vibrant and breathtaking. The haze of summer days has migrated, making way for the new season.
This year, summer seemed an all too brief event. For many, the cooling temperature and shorter days are cause for anguish. For myself, however, this is the time of year when I feel most alive. I don't know if this is because I am a child of autumn, and this is the season when my conscious being was first introduced to the world.
I eagerly await the tinge of orange on the maple leaves, the gathering of the geese as they prepare to migrate, the annual ritual of pulling sweaters and socks out of the back of the wardrobe and pulling them on to greet the chill of night. I love adding the extra duvet to the bed, welcoming back its comforting weight, and snuggling under to warm my nose and toes.
I love that it is the season when a hot bath begins once again to beckon... so much more welcoming than a brisk, cooling shower. As the day grows cooler, soups begin to once again simmer on the stove, lending a homey aroma to life once again.
I find that I stop to inhale more deeply. The scents of autumn are so intoxicating: the slow curling and withering of summer wildflowers, which while signalling their death, smells sweetly of a short life well spent. Hay is mown and rolled, apples are ripened, and if one passes by an open window at the opportune time, there may be the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg wafting from a fresh pumpkin pie.
Autumn in its ascent is the perfect time of year. Lucky for me, the past week has been sunny and temperate. Blessed with a three day weekend, I have made the best use of the available time to fill my lungs and indulge my senses in this early autumn splendour.
Autumn is my favourite time of year! I really enjoyed this post!

Are you about to experience your first Brazilian or bikini wax? Here are some things you need to know, and do, before you come to your appointment.
1. Moisturize! Apply lotion to the area that’s getting waxed once or twice a day for at least four days before your appointment. This will help soften the skin, which will help reduce irritation that can result from getting waxed.
2. Plan ahead! Getting your nether regions waxed can be an irritating experience. The skin is sensitive and needs to be cared for after it’s waxed. To help reduce irritation and annoying red bumps, do not do any activity that will cause sweating for a day or two after getting waxed. It’s best if you don’t go swimming or tanning for a day or two as well. Take the time to pamper that skin. You’ll be thankful you did.
3. Shower! Please shower or somehow wash yourself before coming to the appointment. This should not need further explanation.
4. Aunt Flow! Ladies, this one is up to you. If Aunt Flow is visiting, I’ll still wax you, however keep in mind that your skin will likely be more sensitive during this time period. It’s quite likely your skin will be more sensitive 3-4 days before your start date as well. Keep this in mind when scheduling your appointment.
5. Hair length! In order for the wax to attach to your hair, the hair needs to be about one inch in length. So absolutely no shaving or trimming before you get waxed! You’ll need to let it grow out for a few weeks. If the hair is too long I’ll trim it first, so don’t worry about that.
6. Exfoliate! Be prepared to start exfoliating the waxed area a day or two after your appointment. I do carry exfoliating gloves if you need one or two. Ask about it during your appointment.
7. Pain killers! Getting waxed can be a little painful. Especially your first couple of times. (It does get easier the more you do it.) If you’re worried about the pain feel free to take some Ibuprofen about an hour before your appointment.
8. Drugs and alcohol! While it may be tempting to dull the pain with some alcohol and illegal drugs, I must advise you that if you show up to your appointment under the influence of either I will not wax you. This is for safety and liability purposes.
Most importantly, RELAX! It’s not nearly as painful as you might think. So just lay back, relax, and leave the rest to me!

I went to mass on Wednesday, and I liked it. But I was also so confused about it all.
Did we always sing everything?
Did we always ring bells?
I know that I was in the Catholic Life a lot, but I don’t remember it being so mystical all the time. It was enjoyable, but also confusing.
I’m glad I went back, even though it was a tad bit emotional for me, at the same time. I need to figure out what I’m doing though because I feel the need to return to church because it’s something that I grew up with, so it’s familiar to me, but at the same time, I don’t truly believe that God is present, because I feel like I’m more of a deist than anything else.
I don’t know, it’s weird.
I wonder if there is anyone I could talk to about it?

The Democratic Party and its 2020 presidential candidates are betting the farm on their Progressive ideas, hoping that Americans will follow suit and want controversial measures like “Medicare for all,” the “Green New Deal,” and adding more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Presidential candidates like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) have gone all in on the idea of ending the Electoral College, and pushing their Progressive agenda.
Their argument is a compelling one, but many will question how fair it really is for Americans in smaller, less populated states like Arkansas or Kansas?
If the Electoral College is done away with, very populous and Democratic-leaning states like New York and California will all-but dictate every future presidential election night results.
According to the CBS report from its KCAL affiliate in Los Angeles, Republicans only make up 25 percent of registered voters in California.
Independents make up 27 percent, and Democrats clean up with 44 percent of registered voters.
Here are some graphics from New York Times report detailed the state-by-state 2016 election night results.
Remember, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2, 868,519, but lost the Electoral College vote 306-232.
The total vote count was 62,985,106 (45.6%) for Donald Trump, and 65,853,625 (48%) for Hillary Clinton.
About 13.5 million Californians and 7.5 million New Yorkers voted in 2016, while in other less populated states like Alabama (2 million) and West Virginia (600k), the final vote count was significantly less.
Oh, if that graphic didn’t put the Electoral College issue into perspective, this one does. Look at big blue dots.

I played fiddle in The Matzos – a mostly Klezmer band – through the 2000’s. We had loads of fun and did quite well – playing clubs, festivals (including Glastonbury twice) and lots of private weddings, parties etc. It gave me a chance to get the rock and roll out of my system (before it was too late) and I loved it until the schlepping up and down the M25 at the wrong side of midnight finally got to me.
Is there anywhere where I would be able to see a video of your performances in “The Matzos”?! Or simply listen to the music?

Such furniture does not use a lot of fabric because the idea is to give a coastal look, fabric is not used because the salt air can easily spoil them.

This is because this kind of timber can easily survive in humid conditions, other materials such as wicker and rattan are also used for making coastal furniture and are easily available at coastal living furniture.
Most fabrics cannot cope with humid, wet conditions and can easily wear out, this why coastal furniture is covered and clothed with linen, which can easily hold and maintain its shape and color in such environments.

/ “Alive After the Fall” Review – Prep or Flee?
A new video is making the rounds among Christians, except its contents are nothing new.
While I say that about a lot of prophecy theories people email me about, in this case its true in an additional strange way.
As you watch Alive After the Fall, you may be reminded of another video from early 2015.
That video was the Survive the End Days by someone under the admitted pseudonym of "Nathan Shepard." He called himself a archaeologist and theologian at a large university in New Haven, Connecticut.
This time his name is "Alexander Cain," who is also an archaeologist and theologian, this time from a large university in Arkansas.
"What you are about to see is deeply disturbing…"
America is the doomed Mystery Babylon/Daughter Babylon of Revelation and Jeremiah.
Obama and Putin are the dueling King of the South and King of the North from Dan 11, respectively.
Therefore, before Obama leaves office January, 2017, Putin will attack America.
The "weapon of his indignation" he uses is an EMP or electromagnetic pulse which can paralyze the whole continent leaving it in the dark.
The author has lived among the off-the-grid communities around the world (like the Amish) where he learned how to live without electricity like they do.
To be sure (unlike many Christians) I have no problem with a Christian selling a book teaching the Bible. I sell my own ebook and book explaining Bible prophecy for those who want help making literal sense of it. Selling my one complete book on Bible prophecy makes it possible to write the many articles on prophecy like this one, all for free.
Instead, the problem I have is with the advice given at the Alive After the Fall website and in the ebook.
The assumption of Alive After the Fall is that you need to save yourself from destruction of America prophesied in Revelation and Jeremiah. His ebook gives prepping and survivalism advice based on this assumption.
Rev 18:4,8 (ESV) — Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues"... 8 ... she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.
This verse is often misunderstood because the context is forgotten and not taken into account. You cannot understand the words "come out of her" properly without the context. What is the context?
Revelation 18:4-8 depicts what John hears as he is viewing America the Babylon right before she is destroyed. While surrounding verses talk about America's destruction and what happens after that in the world, the command to "come out of her" is obviously heard by John right before America is destroyed.
This means that in the future when America is about to be destroyed, a command from heaven will be delivered to God's people telling them to flee Babylon (Rev 18:4=Jer 50:8; 51:6, 45). Of course the way God sends messages from heaven to earth is through his human prophets. That's how it will come.
By the way, since moving out of your home country is a very hard undertaking, we can be sure God will help us. He provided miraculous help when he told ancient Israel to come out of Egypt. Revelation predicts the same thing for when the righteous flee the end times events (Rev 12:14=Ex 19:4). We won't be saving ourselves; we'll be following his instructions to be a part of the plan he already has to save us.
Anyway, Revelation 18 is not telling us to flee America now; it's telling us what God's solution is for his people in America when it is about to be destroyed. Just like he did with Lot and his family before Sodom was destroyed, God will warn the righteous in America to flee before it is destroyed.
Revelation's prophecy of a command to flee plainly contradicts the advice of Alive After the Fall that you should prepare to stay in America by learning survivalism. The site quotes many verses in Revelation 18 and completely misses or ignores this very important verse 4.
What About America's Destruction "by 2017?"
OK, so his advice to learn prepping is clearly way off and his biblical scholarship credentials are suspect, but what about his prediction for WWIII by January 2017?
At this point, do I really have to address that? =) Does he have any credibility left on interpreting the Bible after that?
Even if he did, the real issue here is that no man, short of a prophet, is able to predict the future. The author gives no prophet credentials. He's just using Bible prophecy but Bible prophecy does not tell us the exact timing, as Jesus said, no man knows the time of his coming (which you could work out from the fall of America if you had that time).
Still some think maybe there are exceptions, especially when they are listening to people who make really convincing arguments. If that's you, then an article with a clear reminder of the basic truth that people can't predict the future may be helpful to you.
I trust this article (and the related linked articles) has helped you find comfort about the 2017 doomsday prediction and very difficult advice of Alive After the Fall.
How can I get a hold of the book,Alive after the fall.

Bilbo Baggins i’m guessing that you would be able to change the language in settings.
It would be hard to make the villagers talk. That doesn’t matter to me, though.
Though as an in game toggle-able option its a cool and possibly useful concept. If you edit it to be optional (on/off) then I will vote.

The article provides a comparison between the conventional venues of cultural policy-making, such as the World Trade Organization and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the newly emerged fora of global Internet governance. It juxtaposes the different actors, levels of legalization and institutionalization, the different decision-making mechanisms, the different framing of cultural diversity issues and the broader rhetorical and policy contexts. The article exposes the existing disconnect between these and ultimately reveals the ongoing marginalization of cultural concerns at the global level, as well as the inability of states as policy entrepreneurs to react to the changing regulatory environment.

When it comes to investing in real estate, many times investors will decide to partner with someone on their deals. These partnerships can consist of either family members, friends, or other investors/business professionals. Investors choose partners because they provide them with money, experience, and resources.
It is important though to clearly define with your partners what the details of your partnership will be. Are they just meant to be a source of financing and you are going to oversee and manage the entirety of the project and split the profits later? Are they also going to be involved and have input in what goes on with the fix and flip? Who is responsible then for each aspect of the project such as hiring contractors, overseeing the renovations, and handling the sale?
Before venturing into a potential partnership, consider these pros and cons of working with someone else on your next fix and flip deal.
Split the Costs and the Risk: When it comes to a partnership, you are not responsible, necessarily, for providing all the funding for the purchase and rehab of the property. Therefore, you are saving yourself from having to come up with all the money that you would normally have to if you were doing the deal alone. Also, with both of you in on the deal together, you are taking equal chances when it comes to decisions and potential risks that accompany the project.
Experience and Knowledge: Especially if you are a new investor, having a partner who has been investing for a while is a great resource for more than just providing money. You can gain valuable insight, strategies, and techniques from them that you can not only use for the current deal, but also apply to future investments. Whether they are a mentor to you or just someone you can learn a few things from, partners can offer you help, wisdom, and guidance.
Better Time Management: Fix and flip deals require you to wear many hats. You have to source properties, hire contractors, handle renovations, monitor the budget, keep an eye on the timeframe, and plan the sale. All of these things take one word: TIME! With a partner by your side, you can split the tasks in half. Perhaps you are more of the number cruncher and your partner is better with repairs. You take on the accounting elements and let your partner deal with the contracting team, obtaining permits, and buying supplies. Play to each of your strengths so you both don’t get overwhelmed by the amount of work that is required to successfully complete your fix and flip deal.
Divide the Profits: On the flip side, when it comes to partnering on a deal, you are clearly going to have to pay your partner some share of the profits once the property sells. Depending upon the type of agreement you came to prior to beginning the deal, you could be splitting upwards of 50% or more of your profits. You also have to take into consideration that you may be doing all the legwork while they just provide funding, yet they are receiving just as much of the rewards. If you are okay with that scenario, then this may not be a negative for you after all.
Family and Friends: If your partner happens to be your family or a friend, then this business deal has taken a turn for the personal. It can be a totally different situation when you are doing business with someone you have a personal relationship with. These aren’t just money lenders, banks, or real estate associates providing you funding. These can be your parents, siblings, relatives, or close friends. You’ll have to think to yourself, what will you do if something goes wrong with the deal and you are unable to repay them the money? Will you be able to handle that kind of pressure?
You’ll Have to Get Along: This might be another obvious point, but it is still valid. When you partner with someone, you have to get along with one another since you will be making important investment decisions together. If you each follow your own strategies or proven techniques, then you are not going to get anywhere on your project. Cooperation, collaboration, and communication will be key in order to make this partnership work, so if you can’t see eye to eye with one another, then this partnership will be a sinking ship.
So Do You Find a Partner or Brave it Alone?
This will be completely up to each individual investor and their situation. If you have the money, time, and knowledge, then feel free to be a solo act. However, if you are new to the business, in need of additional funding, or just looking for someone to take some of the weight off your shoulders, then perhaps finding a partner won’t be such a bad idea. On the other hand, if you are not good at compromising with others, do not want to take the risk with friends or family, or are not willing to share your profits, then a partnership may not be in your future. Make the decision wisely and weigh both sides of the argument before journeying down that road to a partnership investment.

Giving men with locally advanced prostate cancer a more promising outlook may call for the use of an extended round of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) after radiotherapy, researchers say. This commonly used hormone treatment has proven itself much more effective when an extended course of treatment is offered.
Those findings come from a study conducted by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. Researchers found over a 20-year study period that long-term ADT had strong impacts on improving the disease-free survival rate for men as opposed to shorter doses of treatment following radiation. At a median follow up range of 20 years, researchers found the disease-free survival rate for men with long-term therapy was 16 percent versus 10 percent for those only given shorter courses.
ADT is commonly used in the treatment of more advanced or aggressive cases of prostate cancer. The therapy, however, is often given for shorter periods of time after the use of radiation to help kill off cancer cells. Long-term ADT is defined as a dosing that lasts for at least two years following radiation therapy.
Hormone therapy is considered an important part of the care routine in many forms of cancer. When measures such as ADT are taken, the therapy helps starve cancer cells from the nutrition they need to survive. This extra layer of protection can help ensure that stray cancer cells potentially left behind after radiation do not have the ability to thrive.
Men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer should carefully discuss all treatment options with their healthcare providers. ADT is not recommended in all forms of prostate cancer. Its use is generally restricted to men with more advanced cases of the disease. The best treatment options for a patient will depend greatly on the particulars of the case in question.

ADMINISTRATOR—The Business Administrator of the Township duly appointed pursuant to law.
CHARTER—The Mayor-Council Plan pursuant to the Optional Municipal Charter Law, N.J.S.A. 40:69A-1 et seq., as amended and supplemented, and any and all statutory provisions of the State of New Jersey applicable to the Township.
Whenever the Council is authorized by any provision of general law to appoint the members of any board, authority or commission, such power of appointment shall be deemed to vest in the Mayor with the advice and consent of the Council, unless the specific terms of that general law clearly require a different appointment procedure or appointment by resolution, in which case the appointment shall be by the Council.
As a result of the change in the form of government in the Township of Vernon a new Administrative Code is required. Accordingly this section replaces Chapter 5 in its entirety. The new Chapter 5 hereby adopted changes the time for the annual election in the Township of Vernon from May to November as permitted by N.J.S.A. 40:45-7.1.
Effective July 1, 2011, the Township of Vernon shall be governed by the “Mayor-Council Plan” of the Optional Municipal Charter Law, N.J.S.A. 40:69A-1 et seq.
§5-2. Exercise of legislative and executive functions.
The Township shall be governed by an elected council, and an elected mayor and by such other officers and employees as may be duly appointed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:69A-31 to 40:69A-48, general law or ordinance.
For the purpose of the construction of all other applicable statutes, unless the explicit terms and context of the statute require a contrary construction, any administrative or executive functions assigned by general law to the governing body shall be exercised by the Mayor, and any legislative and investigative functions assigned by general law to the governing body shall be exercised by the Council. Those functions shall be exercised pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Mayor-Council Plan of government, unless other procedures are required by the specific terms of the general law.

Whenever a vacancy exists in any office required by the Charter or the Administrative Code to be filled by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the Council and if there is no holdover incumbent, the Mayor may temporarily fill a vacancy (in the absence of any contrary provision in the Charter or ordinances) by appointing an acting officer, including the designation of the Mayor as Acting Director in the event of a vacancy in any department. The appointee shall have all the functions, powers and duties of the office until it shall be permanently filled. Any such appointment shall terminate 90 days after the date of the appointment unless the Council shall, by resolution, authorize one or more extensions of such period of up to 90 days.

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:69A-41, no ordinance or any item or part thereof shall take effect without the Mayor’s approval unless the Mayor fails to return the ordinance to the Council within ten (10) days after it has been presented to the Mayor or unless Council, upon reconsideration after the third day following its return by the Mayor, shall by a vote of 2/3 of the total membership of the Council resolve to override the Mayor’s veto.
Acting Mayor. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:69A-42, the Mayor shall designate the Business Administrator, any other department head or the Township Clerk to act as Mayor whenever the Mayor shall be prevented by absence from the Township, disability or other cause from attending to the duties of the Mayor’s office.

Whenever the Mayor has been unable to attend to the duties of the Mayor’s office for a period of 60 consecutive days for any of the above-stated reasons, an Acting Mayor shall be appointed by the Council, who shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the Mayor or the then Acting Mayor.

Such motion may be made only by one of the prevailing side, but may be seconded by any member, and may be made at any time and have precedence over all other motions and it shall be debatable.

December Release: Meet the NEW LiquidPlanner!
LiquidPlanner was born out of the need for a better approach to project management. Over the years, we’ve talked to hundreds of customers, running all kinds of projects across all kinds of teams. The common thread among them, almost without exception, is a desire for simplicity, for ease of use, and for speed in the tools they use every day to get work done.
When our founders first got together to dream up a concept for an online project management tool, they wanted to build something that every person on the project team could use — not just the project manager. According to a recent study, over 75% of our customers are now using LP every single day to manage, track and collaborate on the important projects they’re working on. It’s often those “every day” interactions that can make – or break – your experience with any product. That’s why, in this release, we focused on making LP effortlessly straightforward.
And this weekend, we rolled out more than 50 additional enhancements, all designed to make your experience even better than before. See key features below or check out all release notes for LP4.2.
We’re giving you back some prime screen real estate with this release. The header has been streamlined to save you space and to simplify views and menus. “Favorites” allows you to configure and save your optimal views.
Say adios to the old detail pane. Now you can interact with your project and task information in full-screen mode. Quick links (with item counts) at the top jump you down to comments, documents, notes, analysis and more without going through the hassle of switching views. Inline editing and instant saves will cut down the clicks and wait time for your most regular updates.
We hope to continue to make your life easier with each new release and we look forward to hearing your feedback at support@liquidplanner.com.

Jock drops you off at the Brooklyn Naval Shipyards. Proceed through the grate ahead. If you spoke with Vinny earlier then approach this guard. He will give you a key to the main gate.
Use the key to enter the main gate.
Otherwise, you'll have the difficult task of passing through this grate and defeating the obstacles beyond.
To the right are these three trailers, all locked. The key is through the door marked by the arrow. (1) is the best and holds a Bioelectric Cell, a lockpick and a Range Weapon Mod. (2) holds 7.62x51mm Ammo and a Medkit. (3) holds 12 Gauge Buckshot Shells and 30.06 Ammo.
Slip inside and hack the Security Terminal behind the vending machine. Deactivate the three cameras. You'll earn 20 skill points for opening the door.
Enter the office to the left of the vending machines. Behind this locked desk door is the key to the outside trailers. The left desk door holds a DataCube with the Security Terminal account USFEMA/SECURITY.
In the neighboring bathroom you'll find a Medkit under the sink and this DataCube with the sub facility entrance code 0909 in this bathroom stall.
Inside the neighboring office is this desk. Under the cabinet is the key to the ammo storage warehouse. This left cabinet holds the supply closet and Commander's office keys. The right cabinet holds 10mm Ammo.
To the right is a security panel. Use the account USFEMA/SECURITY to put the robots in standby. Disable the three cameras and unlock the main sewer grate. Non-pacifists can rig the robots and turrets to fire on the enemy.
Ascend these stairs, careful not to alert the nearby patrols.
Your Speed Enhancement will allow you to reach those supplies on the left. You'll find an Assault Shotgun, Rockets, and Sabot Shells. Proceed through the door visible on the right.
Use your Prod to bring down the guard on the walkway. Use your ammo storage warehouse key to unlock the door ahead.
A Scramble Grenade will turn these bots on each other. Alternately, a LAM will ignite the nearby barrels and destroy both bots instantly.
Step into this nearby office.
Jock radios that Smuggler's place has been raided. Use the account USFEMA/SECURITY on the security terminal on the right. Place the bots in standby mode and disable all cameras. Press the three buttons on the console to open the storage sheds beyond. Climb the ladder on the right to find a lockpick, Sabot Shells and a LAW.
The three storage sheds are now open, and the bots are in standby. Grab any supplies you want, making sure you have at least five explosives to destroy the upcoming tri-hull welds.
Notice how these roofs form steps. Climb to the highest one and earn 50 skill points. The sirens here sound very cool with a premium sound system.
These large cargo doors were opened by the patrols when they heard the bots fighting. Head over to the Base Commander's office.
Break open this window. Use your Microfibral Muscle to move the barrel, then use your Enhanced Speed to jump onto the barrel so you can pass through the window. Otherwise, use lockpicks on the door.
You earn an Accomplishment Bonus of 20 skill points. The DataCube reveals the East Warehouse code 2249. The left cabinet holds a Reload Weapon mod. The right cabinet holds the weapon storage closet key. The center drawer holds c100.
The safe under the window holds an Augmentation Canister (Aqualung/Environmental Resistance) and a DataCube with a picture of Walton Simons' augmentations.
The Commander's office key unlocks the door to this area. Immediately crouch and access the Security Terminal (USFEMA/SECURITY) to turn off all cameras, and open all doors. The closet on the left holds Ballistic Armor, 10mm Ammo, 7.62x51mm Ammo, and a Multitool.
(1) holds a Medkit in the right cabinet. Read the DataCube for a Millennium Magazine cover photo of Bob Page. (2) holds two candy bars and binoculars. (3) holds a lockpick in the right cabinet and two Bioelectric Cells in the middle drawer. The locked file cabinet behind the desk holds a DataCube with the account WALTON/SIMONS.
Across from the Base Commander building is this building. You can use the same technique as before to enter the building. Before entering, pass through the gate on the right to earn an Area Location Bonus of 40 skill points.
Inside you'll find a Repair Bot, two Multitools, and a lockpick.
This keypad opens the previously-opened gate (thanks, Andy). Use another barrel and your Speed Enhancement to hoist yourself out the window.
You can ignore this building if you're low on lockpicks. The only thing inside is Ballistic Armor.
If you approach this elevator, Tong will suggest riding it to the top.
My preference is to ascend these stairs and enter the code 0909 into the keypad. Thermoptic Cammo helps conceal you from the bots as you cross this area to the stairs.
Sneak under this table to avoid the security camera. The door beyond automatically opens.
Tong prepares you for heavy resistance. Not through this door, however.
The soldier inside recognizes you and reveals that the ramp key is in a locker up the hall. Read the DataCube on his desk to learn that the ramp access code is 6655. Hack the Security Terminal to turn off three cameras.
The lockers are through this door.
This locker holds a DataCube which confirms the ramp code 6655. The mechanic in here is an ally, as are all the mechanics in this area.
Continue down the hall and Tong radios that your objective is here - the PRCS Wall Cloud.
Descend the stairs then slip through this door on the right.
If you spoke with Vinny earlier, these mechanics will reveal the ramp code, 6655.
MJ12 patrol the dock. When they are walking away, enter the code 6655 where indicated, then ascend the ramp. You could have learned the code here, here or here.
Ascend the ramp and Tong congratulates you. Turn right and head all the way to the back. Chinese military patrol the ship so be quiet. I'm also going to be making a big role-playing decision here. The objective is to sink this boat, so anyone we knock out is as good as dead. We want to complete our mission without knocking anyone on the boat unconscious.
In this nook you'll find a LAM, 30.06 Ammo, Ballistic Armor and a MedKit.
Don't miss this LAM, either.
Avoid the patrols and sneak your way back to the front of the ship. Ascend one of these two ramps and pass through the hatch. Stay crouched to muffle your footsteps on the metal floor.
You earn 75 skill points for entering the Wall Cloud. Beware the patrols on deck. Proceed where indicated.
This locked locker holds a Multitool -- I'd save my lockpick.
Across the room are these lockers, all unlocked. Grab the precious Bioelectric Cell.
Pass through the neighboring bathroom to the adjoining bunks, noting the vent on the left.
These lockers hold nothing worth taking. The left lockers hold cigarettes and soda. The lockers on the right hold a forty, Soy Food, and the locked locker holds c100 -- not worth the lockpick IMHO.
When the coast is clear, cross the hall as indicated.
Grab this Ambrosia Vial for Stanton Dowd. The safe in the rear-left of the room holds something worthy of your lockpicks - an Augmentation Upgrade Canister.
Carefully backtrack to the bathroom and pass through the vent you noted earlier. Ascend these stairs to the upper deck.
Heal yourself at this MedBot. Bust open the crate for a MedKit. You'll find another MedKit and a Pepper Gun in the closet next to the desk. Read the DataCube on the desk and learn the code 9753 to raise the bridge in engineering. The lower desk cabinet holds the below decks key.
I also use this opportunity to install the Augmentation Upgrade Canister we found earlier. Here I upgrade Power Recirculator to Tech Four.
Exit through the indicated vent.
Follow the shaft all the way to the Electronics Lab. You'll find two Bioelectric Cells and a Multitool on these shelves, in addition to a DataCube with the account ROOT/REINDEERFLOTILLA. The desk in the background has two Multitools and a DataCube with the ops code 83353. Recharge at the repair bot.
This desk holds a Multitool plus Silencer and Accuracy weapons mods.
Backtrack through the vent. This time exit as indicated, being careful to avoid the patrols.
Turn left, then head through the indicated vent.
Take the ladder up to these vents. You can access many offices through these vents, but my preference is to turn left, then drop into the Captains Quarters.
Activate the hologram for a message from Walton Simons.
Grab this Credit Chit for c2250! The DataCube on the desk holds the armory code 71324. Another DataCube in the right cabinet gives some background.
The DataCube under the bed holds the account KZHAO/CAPTAIN. The nightstand holds another below decks key.
Stay crouched, wait for the guards to walk away (be patient), and head across the hall to the Security Terminal visible to the right of the bridge. Turn off all three cameras and open the Command Center and Armory doors.
Enter the bridge, then pass through this doorway to the right.
Bust open this crate for an EMP Grenade. Pass through the hatch for 50 skill points, then return.
Pass through this doorway which you opened earlier.
Stay quiet and turn left into the Command Center. There are two guards in here so be careful. Under the desk on the right is a Laser Weapon Mod. On the desk on the left is a DataCube with the code 65678.
On this desk is the security area access panel key.
Carefully descend the stairs, shadowing a patrol if necessary.
Proceed through the armory door, which you opened earlier.
Lots of goodies in here. Don't miss the lockpick, the Thermoptic Cammo, the LAM and the Gas and EMP Grenades.
Quietly descend to the lowest deck. Use your Below Decks Access Key to open this door. We've made it this far without knocking anyone on the ship unconscious. Remember, we want these guys to be able to escape the ship once it begins to sink. Isn't role-playing the good guy fun?
Descend these stairs then turn left into the Engine Room.
Activate your Microfibral Muscle and move a barrel into this position. Activate your Speed Enhancement and jump over the wall as indicated. If you do not have these abilities, you can skip ahead.
Tong radios that you've found one of the tri-hull weld points. First smash the crates to find a Bioelectric Cell, a LAM and 7.62x51mm Ammo.
Climb these crates to safely egress the area.
From a safe distance, toss a LAM to destroy the Tri-hull weld.
You earn 120 skill points for destroying the weld. Take cover under the machinery while the guards investigate.
Instead, evade the patrols and approach this keypad. Enter the code 9753. The bridge raises into position.
Ascend the nearby ramp and sneak into this area. Toss another LAM to destroy the second tri-hull weld. This crate holds a Bioelectric Cell.
Wait for the guard activity to die down then smash this crate for another LAM.
Ascend this ladder and cross the bridge you raised a moment ago.
You'll earn 40 skill points for making it across the bridge. This crate holds 12 gauge buckshot shells, and you'll find Ballistic Armor in the neighboring room. Quietly ascend this ladder to engineering.
Time for a difficult decision. Atop the ladder are these three sailors. You're going to sink the ship, so anyone who is unconscious could be safely considered to be dead. For serious role playing, let's try to keep them alive and conscious.
You're objective is this Security Terminal. If you are patient, you can access it from the ladder while the sailors all have their backs to you and they'll be none the wiser. Use the account ROOT/REINDEERFLOTILLA to disable three cameras and open one door.
If you do choose to take the sailors down, a Gas Grenade followed by some Tranquilizer Darts works well. You'll find more Tranquilizer Darts on each body.
Carefully return below then head through this doorway as indicated. Bust the crates inside for some Tranquilizer Darts.
Turn left and follow this corridor.
Avoid the patrols, turn the corner and approach this mechanic when nobody else is around.
A brief cutscene plays. Recharge at the Repair Bot and grab the Heli-Ops Room Nano-Key from the crate behind the mechanic.
Head into the transformer room. There is a spider around the right corner. Send in your Spy Drone and take it out with an EMP blast.
Daedalus provides you with information on the sole remaining associate of the Illuminati leadership, Beth DuClare. Proceed past the disabled spider and deactivate the transformer with Multitools. Head through the grate in the floor.
Use Multitools to deactivate the transformer on the left. Proceed where the blue laser had been and turn right.
Similarly, bypass this transformer and complete the secondary objective.
Return above and toss a LAM at this third weld point. You earn another 120 skill points.
Recharge at the bot outside and receive the appreciation of the mechanic. There are several ways to proceed at this point. My preference is to return inside the transformer room and take this grate below.
Follow the shaft to the exit on the other side. You receive an Exploration Bonus of 40 skill points.
You'll emerge in this area. Activate your Power Recycler and Cloak then have at it. Among the items available are a lockpick and a Medkit, plus lots of ammo if that's your bag.
Under the chopper is this area. The DataCube at (1) has the hangar code 4453. Inside the locker (2) is 10mm Ammo. Inside the locker (3) you'll find a Prod Charger and Darts.
Recharge at the bot as needed. When you're ready to wrap it up, toss a LAM at the fourth weld.
Make one final recharge at the bot, then head out through here.
There are security cameras here so move fast. This crate holds a Bioelectric Cell, and there is a Multitool on the floor to the right. Ascend the ladder.
Jump into the upstream from this fan.
Wee! Float up to the ledge and grab the Bioelectric Cell and Multitool. Float through the indicated opening, the one farther from the security camera. You earn an Area Location Bonus of 40 skill points.
Drop down and keep left. You'll come to this grate with a Prod Charger.
Avoid the patrol and grab this Prod Charger.
This neighboring office holds an Augmentation Canister (Cloak/Radar Transparency), Scramble Grenade, GEP Gun, Plasma Clip and a lockpick.
Wait for the guard to move into this position then quietly slip out the door.
Follow the corridor to this door. Press the switch to open the hatch and a security camera will spot you instantly. To avoid detection, hold back and send in your Spy Drone to disable the camera.
This next part is very difficult to pull of without knocking out any of the soldiers, but if you move quickly and activate your Cloak it can be done cleanly. If you're feeling very confident you can take the time to bust open the crates for a MedKit and a Multitool.
Begin by dropping a LAM down to the fifth and final weld point.
Head over to this corner and press the Bilge Power switch. Login to this computer with the account ROOT/REINDEERFLOTILLA. Reverse the pump flow.
Your mission is accomplished, the ship is rocking violently and it's time to get out of here. This is your quickest way out. The crate ahead holds a lockpick. Take the stairs back up to exit the ship.
Tong advises that a maintenance door on the west end of the dock is your way out. There's the door just behind the guard.
Climb the ladder and earn 40 skill points. Taking the left approach is a bit easier. The approach on the right leads to this spinning tunnel, reminiscent of Kennywood Park's Noah's Ark.
Use your Spy Drone or EMP Grenades to knock out the spiders then climb up here. Grab the Multitool and lockpick and escape out the indicated grate.
Toss a LAM (from a safe distance) to blast open this vent.
Jock's chopper lands on the roof. Climb aboard to be whisked away and end the level.

Before the Army’s 25th Infantry Division, stationed at Schofield Barracks on Oʻahu (formed in 1941,) for a while during the time of World War I (1913 – 1918) Hawaiʻi had the Army’s 25th Infantry Regiment.
In 1866, Congress created six segregated regiments which were soon consolidated into four black regiments. They were the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry.
Rather than fight, the Buffalo Soldiers and other Army regiments were assigned to duties at some National Parks.
Starting in 1906, George Lycurgus (operator of the Volcano House) and newspaperman Lorrin Andrews Thurston were working to have the Mauna Loa and Kilauea Volcanoes area made into a National Park. In 1912, geologist Thomas Augustus Jaggar arrived to investigate and joined their effort.
About 800 Buffalo Soldiers from the 25th Regiment had been assigned to garrison duty in Hawaiʻi at Schofield Barracks. Given their experience in Parks on the continent, some of the soldiers were called upon to assist at the volcanoes on the Island of Hawaiʻi.
In September 1915, Jaggar, Thurston and a US Army representative conducted a survey to determine a route for a trail up Mauna Loa.
The Buffalo Soldiers built the 18-mile trail to the summit of Mauna Loa. They also built the ten-man Red Hill Cabin and a twelve-horse stable, so scientists could spend extended periods of time studying the volcano.
On August 1, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the country’s 13th National Park into existence – Hawaiʻi National Park. At first, the park consisted of only the summits of Kīlauea and Mauna Loa on Hawaiʻi and Haleakalā on Maui.
Eventually, Kilauea Caldera was added to the park, followed by the forests of Mauna Loa, the Kaʻū Desert, the rain forest of Olaʻa and the Kalapana archaeological area of the Puna/Kaʻū Historic District.
The National Park Service, within the federal Department of Interior, was created on August 25, 1916 by Congress through the National Park Service Organic Act.
Later, in the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built research offices, hiking trails and laid the foundations for much of the infrastructure and roads within the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes and other parks across the country.
On, July 1, 1961, Hawaiʻi National Park’s units were separated and re-designated as Haleakalā National Park and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Oh, one more thing … another lasting legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers to the National Parks is the Ranger Hat (popularly known as the Smokey the Bear Hat) – with it the Montana Peak (or pinch) at the top of the hat; a recrease of the Stetson hat to better shed water when it rains.
The image shows members of the 25th Infantry Regiment while deployed to the Philippines (1899.) In addition, I have added related images in a folder of like name in the Photos section on my Facebook and Google+ pages.

No matter if you’ve been living in Auckland for years, you just moved here or are on holidays and want to see more of the city then Queen Street and the waterfront, this 16km walkway is for you! It starts in Onehunga, Manukau Harbour and leads to Princess Wharf in the city on Waitemata Harbour, or the other way around. Walk through Auckland’s suburbs and some of the most popular parks and pass five of the ca. 50 volcanoes in the area.
Our group met at the train station in Onehunga, since we are all living south/east of the city center. From the station, it’s still about 1km to get to the official starting point of the Coast to Coast Walkway. We made our way up towards park number one, as we walked past lovely Victorian houses. Jellicoe Park is not very big but pretty and has an interesting history. Did you know it used to be a defense point against the Maori? The are around Jellicoe Park also used to house the very first Zoo of Auckland, until a lion escaped and terrorized the neighbourhood.
After another few kilometers through Royal Oak, the first of the two high landmarks of Auckland lay in front of us: One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill used to be famous for its totara tree on the top of the hill. It has been chopped by someone and been replaced by Sir John Logan Campbell, who planted a range of pine trees. Only one survived. The tree on the top has been attacked by chainsaws a couple times before it had to be taken down in the year 2000 because it was becoming a danger to the public. Since then, locals also sarcastically call it (N)one Tree Hill.
The mountain is volcanic and has three craters, one of them still intact. Since it’s overgrown with grass, you wouldn’t really think it’s a volcano and the fact it’s dormant and hasn’t erupted in the past 20’000 years helps, too.
The view at the top is breath-taking. The mountain is 187 meters above sea level and gives a great 360° view from South to North.
At the feet of One Tree Hill, we stopped for a coffee at Cornwall Park Café, a lovely café in a pretty, very English looking house. The park itself seems to be quite popular for photo shoots and to just hang out, as there were a lot of people! But the vast grass, the huge trees, the café and the BBQ stations are a good reason why the park is so popular.
Half an hour later, we stood at the bottom of yet another famous volcanic mountain: Mount Eden. You used to be able to drive to the top, but now it’s only for city tours with special permits. Everyone else only gets to go up by feet. It’s another hill, that’s hard to imagine it actually is a volcano, even though the crater is very visible here. Since Mt. Eden is closer to the city center, there is a great view towards the Skytower and the Harbour bridge.
New Zealand is a tramping paradise. There are so many amazing hiking trails on the North Island and South Island, I’m sure there’s one that tickles your fancy.
A little later, we walked through Auckland Domain, which technically also is volcanic but doesn’t even have a proper crater or a hill. It’s the home of Auckland War Memorial and a huge park. We only walked through a small piece of it but a very picturesque one, complete with ponds and a lot of big, shady trees.
The last one of the parks was supposed to be Albert Park right in the center, but we took some other turn and walked along Beach Street to get into the city center. We also cheated a little and didn’t walk all the way to the end to Princess Wharf but stopped at Mexico, where we had a reservation for lunch and were already a little late.
But you can’t really say we cheated, since we started our walk from the train station and not from the official start and thus added a kilometer which we “lost” again at the end.
The walk from Onehunga to Queens Wharf is 16km long. It took us 4.5 hours all in all. The walk is almost completely on sealed roads and paths and apart from the 2 Maungas really easy and mostly straight. But they’re also not too bad if you adjust your pace and not try to race up.
I would recommend starting in Onehunga, no matter where in Auckland you live. You will be hungry at the end of the walk and can treat yourself to a nice meal after the walk. You earned it.
By the way: There is also a cycle version of the coast to coast that is slightly different. Make sure you give this one a try, too!
More, official information, about the walk can be found here.
Waiheke Island is great for a wine and dine day with some shorter walks and tanning on the beach.
Rangitoto Island is all about volcanoes. The youngest volcano in Auckland is best discovered in a day trip.
Tiritiri Matangi Island is a birder’s paradise. But also if you don’t know anything about New Zealand’s native birds, like us, it’s a must-do. The volunteer guides will help you understand nature.

The past months have taken me deeper into myself than ever.
I’ve seen parts of myself, patterns in my life, the things I’ve done, things I do, more than ever, and clearer than ever.
I’ve learnt from some amazing teachers and healers, Tom Chi, Gabor Mate, Vishen Lakhiani, people in the world of Tantra.
And in this I’ve been able to go deeper than ever in my practice and in my teaching.
For all that we can offer as healers is ourselves.
All that we can offer is our hearts, filled with love and the desire and passion to guide those who choose to work with us.
We don’t fix anything or anyone, they do. We don’t heal anyone, they do.
We don’t change anyone, they do.
And the deeper we’re willing to go into ourselves, the deeper we’re willing to go with our clients.
That’s what we have to offer, so far beyond techniques, so far beyond intellectual learning.
Ourselves, open, vulnerable and compassionate.
It comes from within, and we open the space for someone to see that in themselves. That’s what we can do.
To help another be a seeker, an adventurer, we offer them that within us that has travelled the dark internal paths. We share our stories, our tears, our challenges, our triumphs. We share our pain, and in this we have no fear to walk with another in pain.
It all comes from within.
And everyone we share a journey with becomes a healer and teacher, for themselves, for those in their lives. Each journey touches many lives.
Each heart reaches out, opens to another and another.

This month, a school full of children suffered an enormous tragedy. Again.
Seventeen young people were gunned down inside a Florida high school but instead of devolving into the same cycle of meaningless debate, we’re seeing a new moment of student leadership. In a time of crushing grief and anger and fear, these students have chosen to rise up and fill the vacuum of leadership that many of our leaders have created. And they’ve been joined in their activism by their peers all across the country.
"The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else."
Title I: Equal Employment Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities. "This title is designed to help people with disabilities access the same employment opportunities and benefits available to people without disabilities."
Title II: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services. This title "prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in all programs, activities, and services of public entities."
Title III: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities. This title "prohibits private places of public accommodation from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. Examples of public accommodations include privately-owned, leased or operated facilities like hotels, restaurants, retail merchants, doctor’s offices, golf courses, private schools, day care centers, health clubs, sports stadiums, movie theaters, and so on."
Title IV: Telecommunications. "This title requires telephone and Internet companies to provide a nationwide system of interstate and intrastate telecommunications relay services that allows individuals with hearing and speech disabilities to communicate over the telephone."
Title V: Miscellaneous Provisions. "The final title contains a variety of provisions relating to the ADA as a whole, including its relationship to other laws, state immunity, its impact on insurance providers and benefits, prohibition against retaliation and coercion, illegal use of drugs, and attorney’s fees."
In this interview, Harry Belafonte reflects on his life as an activist, singer, and actor, and describes that to him, they are not separate career paths.
Belafonte explains that "What attracted me to the arts was that I saw theater as a social force, a political force."
He goes on to explain his relationships with some of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, his friendship and connection with MLK. He even speaks about King's legacy beyond just the United States.
When asked about his connection to leaders around the world who have not consistently been seen as American allies, he defends his choice by saying that it is important to be open to people from all over the world who have different view points than ours.

Easy 8 step drum lesson!
Self-taught or accompanied by a teacher, learning to play the drums is done step by step. It is not because hitting skins to produce rhythm and sounds that learning is easier than that of a “melodic” instrument such as piano, guitar or violin. On the contrary, in an instrumental ensemble, the drums are the instruments that will give rhythm and rhythm. It’s on its rhythm that all the other instruments will stall. Playing the drums therefore requires a lot of regularity and rigor.
However, once you have acquired some basics, it is quickly possible to play songs that have a simple rhythm. The learning of the drums , just like that of classical drums , must take place step by step and be coherent to see oneself progress quickly. Here are the fundamentals of successful learning in 8 key points.
Depending on the needs of the drummer, the drums can expand with the addition of extra cymbals or toms. Depending on the musical genre , it is also possible to see drums supplemented by tambourines, gongs, or a bell . Sometimes, mainly in hard rock or metal bands there are also batteries with two bass drums. However, all these complementary elements come after having acquired a certain level. During the first months, a basic kit will be enough!
From the first lessons, the teacher will teach you the role of each skin. Over time you will be able to easily recognize them by ear.
Train to beat the pulsation of one hand and hit the rhythm of the other. At first, if you feel slow, it’s normal. It is better to take a slow drive and be right in its rhythm, rather than accelerate and lose the pace. By training regularly, the times will quickly become an automatism and allow you to play your first songs before moving to more complex rhythms.
Holding your chopsticks firmly, firmly without being too stiff name anymore is an important step in learning the drums. The battery is played using an intermediate tool that extends the body of the drummer. It is possible to hold them in different ways depending on his ease or his style of play. For beginners, professionals recommend a grip called “Match Grip” in the French . In this position, the wand is held between thumb and forefinger and the palm of the hand remains vertical.
To find out more, read our article on the different chopsticks.
The difficulty of the battery lies in the synchronization and independence of the hands and feet. Unlike another musical instrument, the drums monopolize the whole body: eyes for reading the score, ears for listening to sounds and rhythm, both hands, both arms to regulate the intensity of the strikes, both feet (hi-hat pedal and bass drum pedal) as well as the legs. We must be able to make each movement independent of others.
Again, proceeding step by step is essential to be certain to take good habits . At first, practice training rhythms on a table, for example, without chopsticks. The idea is really to focus on rhythm, tempo and regularity. Once you feel comfortable, take your chopsticks and replicate the exercises you performed on the table, on the snare drum or on a pad. After a few sessions you can start training your feet . Your teacher will work on hi-hat and bass drum. When you are comfortable, you can then start working on slow tempos. As you progress, you will accelerate the pace.
The use of a metronome is strongly recommended for all musical instruments and especially for the learning of percussion, to verify that we are in rhythm. Teachers often recommend the use of the metronome to beginners, but at any level, using the metronome from time to time allows you to set some small offsets that are sometimes hard to identify on your own.
Rhythmic theory is what allows you to read and write a score of drums. This stage is feared by many beginners, yet it is not a major difficulty in learning . It is nevertheless essential to play scores or to transcribe on paper compositions. Unlike a piano score, a drum score has only one staff, always composed of 5 lines. On its lines are noted symbols corresponding to different percussions and different times. Depending on whether they are cymbals, toms or snare, the symbols will not be placed in the same place on the staff. It is therefore essential to learn everything by heart to be quickly at ease in reading score.
There is no secret. To progress you have to train, and regularly . It is not by playing an hour a week that you will see much progress. The best is to spend a little time every day on the drums. Even if it seems like little, playing 20 minutes a day is enough to progress steadily . Of course, the more you play, the more you progress!
You now have all the keys to become a good drummer! Do not hesitate to be accompanied by a teacher to go even further.

Restricted Access (New York University Press, 2016) investigates digital media accessibility—the processes by which media is made usable by people with particular needs—and argues for the necessity of conceptualizing access in a way that will enable greater participation in all forms of mediated culture.
Through interviews with policy makers and accessibility professionals, popular culture and archival materials, and an ethnographic study of internet use by people with disabilities, this book reveals the assumptions that undergird contemporary technologies and participatory cultures. Restricted Access makes the crucial point that if digital media open up opportunities for individuals to create and participate, but that technology only facilitates the participation of those who are already privileged, then its progressive potential remains unrealized.
Restricted Access relies upon evocative examples to demonstrate the importance of alternate uses, marginalized voices, and invisible innovations in the context of disability identities to push us to rethink digital media accessibility. Many of these examples are archived for review and teaching purposes.
Imagine Otherwise podcast, episode 8, April 20, 2016.
Interview with Ellcessor and host Cathy Hannabach, about Restricted Access, accessibility, research practices and disability culture.
From the Square, “More than a Symbolic Change: iOS 10 and the Accessible Icon Emoji”. September 7, 2016.
Ellcessor applies the theoretical framework of Restricted Access to the accessible icon, on the occasion of its inclusion in iOS 10.
Disability Media Studies (NYU Press, forthcoming 2017), co-edited by Bill Kirkpatrick, proposes the formation of a field of study, based in the rich traditions of media, cultural, and disability studies.
This book is intended to be accessible, teachable, and friendly to newcomers to the study of disability and media alike. Case studies include familiar contemporary examples—such as Iron Man 3 (2013), Lady Gaga, and Oscar Pistorius—as well as historical media, independent disability media, reality television, and media technologies. Chapters consider disability representation, the role of media in forming cultural assumptions about ability, the construction of disability via media technologies, and how disabled audiences respond to particular media artifacts.
Each chapter is preceded by a short abstract, orienting the reader by explaining the background and contribution of the essay. Additionally, two afterwords—one by Rachel Adams, the other by Mara Mills and Jonathan Sterne—reflect upon the collection, the ongoing conversations, and the future of disability media studies.
This current book project examines the effect of digital technologies on the field of “emergency media”—those media technologies, services, and forms of content that are intended for individual use in extremis. Case studies include 9-1-1, mobile applications, and social media.
Of particular concern are questions of access and identity in a time of digitization, privatization, and rampant inequalities. How may new technologies restrict access to needed media and services, and how might users (citizens) push back to enlarge access and challenge the ideological limitations of “emergency”?

As I thought back to the memorial service that was held for Charles in Los Angeles last Sunday, and looked ahead to the one that will take place in Austin, I realized there was one terrible mistake in the planning. Nearly a week has passed since the L.A. service, and another week will elapse between this gathering in New Haven and the next one in Austin. This is never how Charles himself would have done it. How unthinkable to have six days of down time between Los Angeles and New Haven. If this had been organized as he ran his life, these three events would probably have been within 24 hours of each other, or at least within a couple of days, and those who felt compelled to attend more than one would have rushed from airport to airport, crossing time zone after time zone, feigning utter indifference to jet lag.
Indeed, now that I think of it, probably the right way to have memorialized Charles Moore would have been to have chartered a 747, and loaded it up with all of his friends, colleagues, clients and students, and kept us all together on board as the 747 spent a few days leaping from city to city, from airport to airport, letting all of us live for a day or two as Charles did for so much of his life — out of a suitcase, and stopping wherever there was some wonderful architecture to see. Now, that really would have been Charles’s revenge. The jet would have had to have been perpetually late, of course, and it would have had to have missed a few scheduled stops and made a few impulsive ones that were not part of its original plan. There would be not a movie on board but a slide lecture; it would all have felt vaguely disheveled — but that plane would have known precisely where it was going, and every one of us on board would have had a wonderful time.
I was never a colleague of Charles’s, but I was something all of his partners, clients and friends were, which was his student. I took not a studio course but a seminar from Charles, and it was an extraordinary experience, not because he was brilliantly prepared and dazzling in the classroom — he was not — but because it was an occasion to listen to him to what he did better than anyone, which was ramble on for two hours, in a kind of wonderful stream of consciousness. The subject of the course was the Bauhaus, which I remember mainly because I can still picture him walking into the room each week with that huge black and white book published back in the late 60’s under his arm.
But I remember that class for another reason, too, which is that it is where, in a sense, I began my career. I wrote a paper for that class that struck Charles in some unexpectedly positive way, and his reaction led me to believe for the first time that I might have some ideas about architecture worth taking seriously. Not for Charles Moore the paucity of compliments intended to distance students from the master; his enthusiasm was all there, and he liked nothing better than to share it with his students. This translated, for me, into kind of support like none other: the support that gives you the courage to get started.
When Jewish rabbis speak of life as a journey — "birth is the beginning, and death the inevitable destination” — they mean to make the point, I suppose, that life is not a journey to someplace else, but that it is itself a voyage — that getting there is not only half the fun, but all of the fun, the only point there really is. For no one was life more literally a journey than for Charles. He was constantly on the move, so much so that one is forced to take note of the paradox of a man who had so much love of the idea of home and house, and who had so much to say about these ideas in our culture, nonetheless having such trouble staying home himself. But I’m thinking not only of the minor journeys to and fro with which Charles filled his days and weeks and years, but of the larger journey that his life represented. It was in every sense a journey toward civilization, a journey toward an idea of what architecture could mean for individuals, for society, for a culture as a whole.
One risks sounding corny and sentimental when one speaks of journeys toward wisdom, but that really is the case here. Indeed, not the least part of Charles’s gift was his ability to take ideas that in other hands would have been the ultimate in trite, tiresome cliche, and breathe into them freshness and energy. His belief that architecture could embody the essence of life, that it could be a pursuit of joy; his insistence that buildings were sensual objects as much as cerebral ones; his view of cities as representing, at least potentially, an uplifting, energizing communal life; his determination to teach us all to respond to buildings in terms of feeling — all of these could have been the views of a mindless architectural Candide, not of a great intellect.
What is it that made Charles not that mindless Candide, but the extraordinary presence that he was? His manner was surely part of it — easy, comforting, full of love for the architecture you were looking at together but also for the act of looking itself, and the act of conversation. Who could ever forget tooling about southern California with Charles, going with him to the Santa Barbara County Courthouse or to Disneyland, an excursion I thought of as roughly like being taken through the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo. He was himself as easy to be with as his own buildings, at their best, aspired to be; he invited you in, and operated on the premise that in life as well as in architecture, the pursuit of comfort is no vice.
But his ease, both in personal manner and in architectural style, does not fully explain why those of us who seek challenge were not left unsatisfied by Charles and his work. Indeed, in some ways it only compounds the mystery. Why is it that this man who believed so utterly in the power of architecture to reflect and enhance joy could mean so much to people who are so often skeptical of joy on its own terms, whose view of the world is far darker than the one Charles seemed to embody?
I think much of the answer lies in the sheer quality of Charles’s work — in the quality of his architecture, which was consistently inventive and vastly richer than the work of so many of his contemporaries; and also in the quality of his writing, which was one of the most notable outputs of prose of any architect of modern times. Few architects can put together a coherent English sentence; Charles wrote with an eloquence and a grace that leaves almost all of his contemporaries in the dust, and what he had to say was not simple at all, but provided the basis for a tremendous amount of thinking that, in the last decade, has become the common wisdom.
I’m fond of quoting his wonderful essay, "You Have to Pay for the Public Life” from Perspecta 9/10, published here at Yale by Bob Stern in 1965, that essay that marked the beginning of the modern academic discipline of Disneyland Studies. Within that wonderful title was an essential point that no one else was seeing in 1965: there is a certain kind of public, communal, urban life that once took place in the streets and squares of great cities but now exists only in private places, in places like Disneyland.
But quality alone — the quality of his architecture, the quality of his writing — does not solve the mystery, either. I think the real answer to why Charles was not the Candide of architecture, to why he spoke so powerfully to so many with a different worldview, is that he himself was far darker than he liked to let on. He had no illusions that the struggle was easy, that life really was like Disneyland, that it was all a matter of pretty pastels on painted stucco. Indeed, while he never sought to reflect irony in his work in the literal manner that, say, Bob Venturi did, not a single perception of Charles was without its ironic component. He knew how hard this business was, he knew how absurd civilization was, he knew how mad the whole game was, now as ever. He saw it all, with as sharp a pair of eyes as anyone, and every line he drew and every word he wrote reflected that knowledge.

It’s a Drag… … Racing, that is!
had me puzzled at first: how can you drive extremely high powered vehicles down a virtual 1/4 mile? But, as I live by the motto “try most things ones”, I didn’t have to think long before saying “yes, I’m game”.
Time to stage (put your vehicle in the starting position and gear) and hit the accelator when the yellow light comes on… I must tell you, it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced in Second Life! A race lasts… one second!
After getting a few pointers on what to do, we had a few races between us (somebody even offered us the use of his car) and I must say: Izzie by far has the best reaction speed overall, although I did beat her best: 0.06 seconds after the yellow light went on I hit the accelerator. Trescool mentioned that anything under 0.05 is usually a winner, and he was correct: I saw reaction times of 0.02 seconds!!!
reaction sweet spot. Another one is take your time, after 3 runs I was hooked!

Spotlight Spotlight interviews advocates, community leaders and policymakers who have dedicated their careers to improving our communities, our nation and the world.
As the associate director of the Center for Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS) Marianne Chung oversees the operations of ten departments and programs to deliver culturally and linguistically competent and comprehensive health and social services for the Asian American community in Georgia.
Under Ms. Chung’s leadership, CPACS administered a community-wide survey documenting access and barriers to affordable health care for Asian Americans in Metro Atlanta. The results of that survey were included in the Health Disparity Report of 2010 by the Georgia Department of Community Health.
What (or who) inspired you to do the work you are doing?
My grandfather came to America in the late 1930’s and settled in Alabama and then Tennessee. I often think about him working long hours and facing much discrimination and racism living in the American South, all so that his children and grandchildren could live a better life in America.
This motivates me each day to do the work that I am do for immigrant and refugee populations in Georgia and all over the South. Georgia has the fifth fastest-growing Asian American and Pacific Islander population in the United States. The Atlanta area is home to large and vibrant communities with a diverse population of refugees and immigrants from many countries, including Bhutan, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Korea, Laos, and Vietnam.
Some of these residents face challenges in accessing health services, including language barriers, lack of health insurance, and difficulty understanding the complex U.S. health care system. Many do not receive preventive services and seek care only when a medical condition such as cancer, diabetes, or hypertension becomes impossible to ignore. Or, if they are low-income, they can be intimidated or discouraged when applying for state health and social services programs such as Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids.
The Center for Pan Asian Community Service (CPACS) brings together various community organizations and individuals to promote unity and improve the well-being of all Asians and Pacific Islanders in Georgia.
Who would play you in a movie and why?
No one can play me but me!
What is the biggest policy challenge facing the United States and how would you fix it?
I believe the impact of anti-immigration policy is the biggest policy challenge facing the United States at this time. These actions adversely impact all of us promoting continued racism and political, social, health and economic inequities.
Efforts that support just and fair immigrant rights and integration work will lead to Americans who are self-sufficient and productive that contribute back to our communities.
Thanksgiving because it is a time to show gratitude and I love the traditional thanksgiving day foods. My grandmother has the best recipes that integrate traditional American Thanksgiving foods with Chinese style flavors.
How can people find out more about your work or get involved?
They can visit the CPACS website at www.cpacs.org, like us on Facebook can connect to us on Twitter.
What was the last book you read? What is the most important thing you learned from it?
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran. He talks so beautifully and poetically about human life and how to live it fully.
What advice do you have for young people who are interested in your field?
Find a mentor and be inspired.
I am a part of an multicultural multigenerational women Korean Drum Troupe and am an avid bikram yogi.

We must be getting better at this. We had a 2-day deadline for submitting a piece to the Shoshana Wayne chain-letter show. So we conceived and built like crazed artists. The result was our second Muybridge tribute. We did most of the assembly at CRASH Space hackerspace in Culver City. In those last, weary hours, the moral support and camaraderie was a great boost. Many thanks to Steve, Matt, Chondra and Naim for the late night props.

The commissioned poster We Think the World of Birds .
About the Artist : At age three, Charley Harper fell head-first from the scecond-story window of the family farmhouse onto a stump, which was unaffected by the crash. He was, too, his parents thought, until a few years later when he announced that he wanted to be an artist. His work has appeared in nature magazines and books, on posters for organizations such as the National Park Service, and on limited edition serigraphs, accompanied by his writing. "There are times" he says, "when a word is worth a thousand pictures." Charley's latest work, We Think the World of Birds, was commissioned by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Poster is shipped rolled in a mailing tube.
Look at the poster and try to identify all 39 species of birds that live in or around Sapsucker Woods, or have speical significance to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Clicking on the link below will provide you with the key.
Key to We Think the World of Birds (200k).
I love Mr Harper's artwork! The poster is wonderful, but I want to WEAR it and show it off!

It’s on a hot Saturday when Enterprise visits Timau, Meru County. We follow the Laikipia–Meru road where we witness vast tracts of wheat, rapeseed and potato plantations on our left and right.
Three kilometres before we reach Kisima Centre, where potato seed propagation is done, we turn right and find growers preparing their farms for potato plantation. This area is known as Wamugi.
We find Martin Dyer on a tractor loading potato seeds from a one of the sacks in a pickup adjoined to the tractor. Wearing a short and farm boots, he welcomes us to his fam in fine Swahili. He narrates that he has been in the farming business for more than three decades, growing different crops manually, entirely depending on human labour for land preparation, planting, weeding, spraying and harvesting.
“I ventured into agriculture in the 1980s while still young. I have grown a number of crops on my 70-acre land but it was last season when I began growing potatoes. I was motivated by a ready market,” says Mr Martin, who has English roots.
He has leased this land from local owners and pays them at the end of each season from the sale of harvested produce.
Mr Martin purchases certified potato seeds from the nearby Kisima Centre, and then leases a special type of tractor that employs a technology that can perform five farm activities at once.
“Due to the enormous size of this farm, when a farm equipment firm contacted me on the possibilities of helping me mechanise all farm activities, I couldn’t resist. They offered me a tractor that did chiseling, ploughing and now helps me to furrow, put the right amount of fertiliser, drop the seeds and bury them in the soil,” the 56-year-old says.
But what intrigues many farmers is the ability of the machine to ensure accurate spacing within and across rows.
A farmer is required to put 200 kilos of NPK fertiliser into the loading chamber before filling it with potato seeds. Two people will be needed at the back to load seeds. The seeds are picked by a rotary machine that holds and drops them into the furrow areas with fertiliser as the tractor moves.
Mr Martin says in one day, he plants 10 bags of potato seeds, a job that takes more than 200 workers to complete in three days.
Acccording to research, mechanisation cuts the cost of production by 50 percent and ensures acidity soil levels are controlled since machines drop the set fertiliser requirement per seed. It also breaks hard pans and restores soil drainage that eliminates erosion.
Titus Musyoka, the manager of farm equipment firm Tinga, says that one acre requires 30 manual workers to plant potatoes and it will take them eight hours and demand Sh400 each.
“Using our tractors, one acre will only require a driver and two farmhands, and it will take them five hours. Total cost for that is Sh5,000 compared to Sh12,000 that a farmer will pay casuals,” he says.
He explains that during harvesting, mechanisation helps the farmer prevent post harvest losses that are experienced when using human labour since they cut and damage potatoes worth good cash at the market.
The tractor’s ability to cut costs, save time and enhance quality is a major boost to farmers of Timau area. The machine can be used to plant a variety of plants since it can be adjusted to the correct spacing requirements.
Mr Martin projects to harvest about 200 bags per acre this season from his Voyager potato variety. This will fetch him between Sh2,500 and Sh5,000 depending on demand.
Tinga has partnered with with several companies – Bayer East Africa, Siraji Sacco, Quipbank, Yara, Sereni Fries and Farmers Association of Kenya — to help farmers cut costs and improve yields. Yara provides soil testing and fertilisers, Bayer East Africa provide pesticides, Siraji Sacco, while Quipbank finances agribusiness. Sreni Fries is the potato buyer while Tinga offers mechanisation services on a lease and rent basis.
“This partnership has been a blessing to us. I don’t have millions of shillings to buy a tractor. I only need a few thousand shillings to afford the mechanisation services,” says Fridah Wachira, a smallholder potato farmer in Timau, a few kilometres from Mr Martin’s farm.
She says that she used to harvest only 30 bags of potatoes from her one acre farm but now she gets 130 bags from the same piece of land.
Previously, many potato farmers used tubers they harvested as seeds, but from the training by the partnering firms, they now understand that seeds need propagation and treatment before planting.
“Most of them didn’t know that the size of a potato seed should be two and three centimetres in length with a radius of 1.5 centimetres for spherical varieties,” says Mr Musyoka.
Lake Basin Development Authority managing director Dr. Evans Atera observes that most farmers are afraid of technology that they claim is expensive without realising that most mechanised farm services can be leased at an affordable fee.
